Two In Reitz

• The Loyola University Maryland volleyball team will play a pair of Patriot League matches at home this weekend, hosting Bucknell University and Lafayette College in Reitz Arena.
• This weekend's matches are two of the last three home contests this year for the Greyhounds.
• The Bison will come to Reitz on Friday, October 24, for a 6 p.m. match, and the Leopards will play the Greyhounds on Saturday, October 25, at 4 o'clock.
• Both matches will stream live on ESPN+.

Last Time Out

• Loyola hit .364 in the third set Saturday to push its Patriot League match to four, but Army West Point came back to win the final frame for a 25-19, 25-17, 17-25, 25-15 victory in Reitz Arena.
• The Black Knights finished with 66 kills to the Greyhounds' 41, hitting .368 in the process.
• Kacy Sekunda led Loyola with 16 kills, five of which she had in the third set. Ellie Joffe all four of her kills in that set, as well. Gabi Verdicchio had 21 assists, while Sekunda had 10. Addie Huber led the Greyhounds with 12 digs.

Freshman Digging The Playing Time

• Addie Huber has been the Greyhounds' primary libero this season and is averaging 4.30 digs per set through 18 matches. She has 20 or more digs in four of the last 10 Greyhounds matches and 12 or more in 13 of 15. Overall, she has seven matches this season with 20 or more digs.
• Huber ranks second in the Patriot League in digs (297) and third in digs per set (4.30), and she is 89th and 67th nationally in those categories. Among NCAA Division I freshmen, Huber is seventh in digs per set and total digs.

Digs Staying With The Trend

• Loyola ranks 83rd in NCAA Division I in digs per set (14.93) through matches of October 20 continuing a trend from the last several years.
• The Greyhounds have ranked 92nd or higher nationally in the statistical categories in the last seven seasons (2018-24) with five of those seasons finishing in the top 30.

Back For A Graduate Year

• Kacy Sekunda returns to the Greyhounds' lineup for the 2025 season as a graduate student after earning her bachelor's degree in. She missed all but nine matches during her sophomore season (2022) and received a medical hardship waiver to compete this year.
• Sekunda finished fifth in NCAA Division I last season with nine triple doubles, and she had her first of the 2025 season on September 5 against Robert Morris before picking up a second against Georgetown. She posted three in the first three Patriot League matches of the year and then had one October 10 against Army West Point to bring her career total to 19. That ranks second-most amongst active NCAA players (Jalyn Stout, Coastal Carolina, 43). 
• The setter-right side from Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, who earned All-Patriot League Second Team recognition along with Academic All-Patriot League honors last year, leads the Greyhounds with 3.15 kills per set as of October 20.
• Over the course of 357 sets in 98 career matches, Sekunda has 699 kills, 2,202 assists and 929 digs. She ranks eighth in Loyola career history in assists and enters the Bucknell match 197 back of Aubrey Kirvin (2009-10) for seventh.

The Data Science Of Volleyball

• The Greyhounds have another graduate student on their roster this season, but Riley Hamilton is in only her fourth year of college. The Colgate, Wisconsin, native graduated from Loyola in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in data science, at the same time beginning her master's in the same field.
• Hamilton was one of seven recipients of Loyola's Whelan Medal at the May 2025 Commencement, an honor given to the graduating students with the highest grade-point average. Hamilton, who graduated with a perfect 4.0, also received Loyola's honor as the female student-athlete with the highest GPA.
• Hamilton matched her career-high with 16 kills on September 27 against Navy, a total she also put up September 8, 2023, versus Stony Brook.
• In three-plus years with Loyola, she has played in 81 matches and 250 sets to average 1.36 kills per set. Last year, she had a career-high 116 kills and 171 digs, and this year, she is fourth on the team with 1.78 kills and tied for second with 2.63 digs per set.

Swinging Away

• Morgan Crawford and Ava Nepkin are tied for second on the Greyhounds in kills per set, both averaging 1.94 across their timeon the floor. Four Greyhounds – including Crawford, Nepkin, Riley Hamilton and Kacy Sekunda – have more than 100 kills this year with Crawford and Nepkin entering the Bucknell match with 134 and 105, respectively.
