The Pieper Warriors enter the 2026 season with momentum after posting a 32-11 record.
That mentality will be tested from the opening serve as Pieper looks to build on last season's success. Karrington Alarid returns as one of the team's premier outside hitters, while Emery Gingrich is expected to take on an expanded role on the outside. Defensively, Cayleigh Monson will anchor the back row, and Olivia Theis and Adesuwa Eweka give the Warriors a formidable presence at the net, with Eweka set to make a major impact in the middle.
For Pieper, the formula for success is clear: start strong, stay consistent and compete with relentless grit every time they take the floor.
"This group is willing to put in the work it'll take to be great, and they do it as great teammates." — Head Coach Courtney Patton
O'Connor enters the 2026 season with one goal in mind—finishing the job.
The defining characteristic of this year's squad is simple: relentlessness. O'Connor expects to compete with anyone on its schedule and has embraced a mindset of refusing to back down, regardless of the opponent.
"The fire of our 2025 O'Connor Volleyball team didn't fade; it became our foundation. For 2026, we aren't just picking up where we left off—we're turning last year's finish line into our starting block, relentless in our pursuit and hungry for more." — Head Coach Megan Liverett
