Lebanon Valley College Athletics

Lebanon Valley’s first volleyball inductee, Natalie Baruka Smith ’97 was a record-setting hitter for the team in the mid-1990s. Fifteen years after graduating, Smith is still LVC’s all-time blocks leader, stuffing 380 shots between 1993 and 1996, including 222 solo stops. Baruka graduated as LVC’s all-time kills leader (1,284), a record that stood until 2004. She was a two-time all-conference selection, captain, and team MVP, and led the Dutchmen to 90 wins in her career.
