2025 Volleyball Season Recap
LIMA, OH - UNOH volleyball was under new leadership for the 2025 campaign as Bill Bonham took over the helm from previous head coach Josh Kreiner.
Senior Abigail Martin logged 19 kills in a 3-0 win over Lourdes to open conference play marking the program's most in a three-set match since 2018. Martin also reached the 1,000 kill plateau and finishes her career as just the fifth Racer to accomplish that feat with 1,001 career kills. Fellow seniors Savanna Reed and Shamyria DuBose also end their careers with historic marks. Reed logged 2,299 assists over her four years putting her fourth all-time while DuBose closes her two years at UNOH with a 0.69 blocks per set average, the program's third highest average and best since 2017.
A four-set program record was set by Aliyah Saylor who recorded seven service aces against Madonna on September 26 which ties for the third most in any match in program history. Rhema Pernell matched the all-time record for solo blocks earning five at Lourdes on October 10.
Savanna Reed highlighted the academic honors for the Racers becoming just the fifth volleyball player to land on the WHAC All-Academic team for a third time and the first ever to make the NAIA Scholar Athlete list three times. Six others joined her on the academic team with two earning the honor for a second time and four for the first time. Two others picked up their second Scholar Athlete honor and two made the list for the first time.
