ANNVILLE, Pa. – Junior libero Kylie Nagle and junior opposite hitter Jillian Jefferys will look to make an impact in 2026 after collecting All-Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom accolades for the Lebanon Valley College women's volleyball team last fall. The veterans headline LVC's 11 returners this season, in addition to four newcomers. 

Lebanon Valley seeks its fifth consecutive postseason appearance this year and is ranked fourth out of nine teams in the MAC Freedom Women's Volleyball Coaches' Preseason Poll. The Flying Dutchmen finished 2025 with a 12-15 overall record and a 4-3 mark against conference opponents.

"I think it's going to take the group this year," Head Coach Scott Reynolds said. "We have high expectations for all our players; I think there's room for everybody to make that impact. We have high hopes for the incoming class. This group is definitely talented enough to do what we want to do and expect to do."
Nagle finished second on the team with 267 digs last year, and Jefferys tallied 51 total blocks and ranked seventh in the conference with 0.67 blocks per set. Lebanon Valley expects senior middle hitter Libby Lindau to be a pivotal performer as well, after recording 172 kills and 53.0 total blocks in 2025.

Senior middle hitter Teaguen Reynolds will aim to build on a junior year in which she led the Flying Dutchmen with 58.0 total blocks and ranked fifth in the MAC Freedom with 0.73 blocks per set. Junior outside hitter Riley Mack will also contribute to the squad. Sophomore libero Molly Thomas, who played at Division I Central Connecticut State University last year, headlines the list of new student-athletes.

The Dutchmen will open the campaign on Tuesday, Sept 1, at 7 p.m., against Alvernia University for the first of nine home matches at Sorrentino Gymnasium. Lebanon Valley will later begin its MAC Freedom schedule on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m., against Delaware Valley University at Sorrentino Gymnasium. 

Another key date on the schedule is Friday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m., when LVC will host Rowan University at Sorrentino Gymnasium on Homecoming Weekend. The Flying Dutchmen will then host FDU-Florham for Senior Night on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m., at Sorrentino Gymnasium. LVC's full 2026 schedule can be found here.
