Vanderbilt will launch the home portion of its first volleyball season since 1980 in smashing fashion this weekend.

The Commodores will host Belmont on Friday in their home opener at the Wyatt Lawn on the Peabody campus (1930 South Drive), and then participate Sunday in the Broadway Block Party at Bridgestone Arena, an event that will also feature Tennessee, Nebraska, Kentucky, Purdue and Illinois.
