The University of the Cumberlands (UC) Volleyball program continues to improve in the off season with training and with signing new talent. The latest addition to the volleyball team is Sara Hayek.  

The University of the Cumberlands Patriot Volleyball team teamed up with Operation Christmas Child for the third consecutive year to help bring joy and hope to children around the world. The volleyball team collected shoe boxes and items to fill them during the month of October and November. 

The University of the Cumberlands (UC) Volleyball Patriots have worked hard on and off the court this year and it has led to one of their most successful seasons in years.  The ladies earned an 18-9 regular season record and in turn a few of the Patriots earned Mid-South Conference (MSC) awards on Friday night in Frankfort. 

The University of the Cumberlands Volleyball Patriots began their journey in the Mid-South Conference (MSC) Tournament on Saturday in Frankfort, KY as they took on the University of Rio Grande in the first round.  Unfortunately, the Patriots were unable to get anything together as they fell to the Red Storm in three straight sets 3-0 by scores of 14-25, 18-25, 23-25.  

This past week, the University of the Cumberlands (UC) Patriots volleyball team hosted St. Catharine College.  The Patriots dominated in every facet sweeping St. Catharine in three straight sets (25-17,25-21,25-21). 

This victory was a great way to end the season for a group of wonderful young ladies.  The volleyball team also recognized their four senior Patriots, Courtney Fout (Miamisburg, OH), Alana Abbott (Lebanon, OH), Brittany Weinheimer (Liberty Township, OH), and Michelle Papas (Crestview Hills, KY).
