FOREST, Va. --Â The Lynchburg Hornets women's volleyball team earned five selections to the All-ODAC teams, as announced by the conference on Saturday, Nov. 15.
Graduate right side Kate Hardie headlined Lynchburg's honorees as the program's lone First Team selection. The Hornets also placed two athletes on both the Second and Third Teams: Tori Williamson and Leah DiNardo on the Second Team, and Ava Meinhardt and Alexis Scipione on the Third Team.
Hardie wrapped up the 2025 season as one of the top pin hitters in the ODAC. The Rustburg, Va., native ranked third in the conference in total kills (334) and kills per set (3.09), while also finishing top-15 in hitting percentage at .260. The Mercer beach volleyball transfer added the third-most service aces (54) and third-most total points (412.5) across the league.
Williamson emerged as one of the ODAC's most effective two-way outside hitters during her junior campaign. She finished top-10 in digs (311) and placed 11th in total points (297), powered by 247 kills. DiNardo joined Williamson on the Second Team after recording 233 kills with a .314 hitting percentage—the fourth-highest mark in the conference. The machine also contributed 67 blocks, the second-most on the team.
Meinhardt earned her second consecutive Third Team All-ODAC recognition. The Jefferson City, Mo., native led the Hornets with 93 blocks, the second-highest total in the ODAC this season. Offensively, she posted the conference's sixth-best hitting percentage at .304. Scipione rounded out Lynchburg's honorees after an impressive season running the offense, finishing with 718 assists. The Richard Bland transfer served as the Hornets' primary setter and guided the team's offensive rhythm throughout the year.
Lynchburg now awaits its NCAA Tournament draw, scheduled for Monday, Nov. 17, at 1 p.m.
