FREDONIA, N.Y. -- The Fredonia State women's volleyball is looking for a bounce-back season in 2024. After missing out on the SUNYAC Tournament, head coach Geoff Braun -- who has been at the helm since 1999 -- will be counting on the development of seven sophomores as well as the steady play of four upperclassmen. 

The team will be captained by senior Erin Callahan and sophomore setter Molly Cassidy. Callahan collected 108 kills, and Cassidy will see an expanded roll this year as the team's setter.

Another top returnee will be Kylie O'Brien, who led the team in kills last season as a freshman.

The incoming class includes four freshmen and a sophomore transfer. Logann Lexner, Megan Nottis, Maeve Musielak, and Keara Kincaid will compete in their first collegiate seasons. Hannah Lombardi transfers in from Canton, and Payton Gilbert will join the team after competing for the Blue Devil basketball team last year.

The Devils open up at Keuka Colege for a two-day trip this weekend. Friday they take on the Wolves at 4 p.m. Saturday they take on Pitt-Bradford and Hilbert, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively, at Keuka.
