The Big Blue encapsulates the sporting rivalry between Victoria’s two largest Universities: Monash and Melbourne.
Rivals on and off the sporting field, the matches are played at Monash’s Clayton Campus or Melbourne’s Parkville Campus during Semester and offer a chance for students to represent their University in a local and competitive setting, at no cost.
A winner is declared at the conclusion of Semester 2 when the head-to-head results are tallied up.
For women in sport, the road has been paved with both victories and obstacles. From internal battles with self-confidence and the fear of failure, to a lack of funding and awareness, female athletes continue to navigate unique challenges in their pursuit of a successful career in the industry. Monash University's ‘Women in Sport Network’ is confronting these challenges directly through its Semester 2 Leadership Series.
The Monash University women’s volleyball team has proudly brought home the gold medal from the UniSport Nationals in Canberra, firmly cementing their status as one of the most dominant teams in the competition.
