LEXINGTON, Ky. - Following its impressive 10-1 start, the UIndy volleyball team returned to the AVCA-Taraflex DII national poll for the first time since 2021, the organization announced Monday.
The Greyhounds rattled off 10 consecutive wins, including eight sweeps, to open the 2026 season before battling now-No. 12 Lynn down in the Sunshine State over the weekend.Â
Maddie Lynch leads the team with 3.77 kills per set, while senior libero
Macy Bruton is averaging 5.2 digs per set in 11 contests this fall. Each athlete has earned GLVC Player of the Week honors already this season, which you can learn more about
