Skyhawk Volleyball
2026 Team Outlook
Expectations are high for Sauk Valley Volleyball after another 30-win season that saw them go 10-0 in the Arrowhead Conference and 20-1 in regional play. They were ranked in the top 20 poll all season and qualified for the NJCAA National Tournament for the 8th time in the last 11 years.
The Skyhawks return the Arrowhead Player of the Year in Kailee Williams; as well as Madison Shaffer from Oregon; Madyson Tichler from Dixon and Elizabeth Lombardo from Rock Falls. Sauk will rely heavily on a talented 2026 recruiting class that includes Sawyer Secrist from Williamsfield; Morgan Hargrave and Presley Lappin from Dixon; Isabella Markey from Ottawa; Meredith Bruns from Rochelle; Joselyn Petersen from Clinton; Skylar Bishop from Oregon and Alli Frerichs from Litchfield.
