HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Trevecca Nazarene University evened the match in the second set, but fourth-seeded Lee took the next two to beat the fifth-seeded Trojans 3-1 Thursday in the Gulf South Conference quarterfinals at SportsMED Arena in Spragins Hall.

2026 SEASON REVIEW

Trevecca's longest winning streak began Sept. 22 with a five-set comeback against UAH, the eventual regular-season champion's only GSC loss. Vanbebber tied her career high with 35 digs, and the Trojans won the fifth set 16-14. The six-match run included a win at Lee and ended with an Oct. 6 sweep of Montevallo that moved Trevecca into a tie for first.
 
Vanbebber finished with 486 digs and set a Trevecca NCAA-era season record at 4.86 digs per set, breaking her own mark of 4.72. She reached 1,000 career digs Sept. 25 against Union and finished the season with 1,290. Grant led Trevecca with 324 kills on .344 hitting. She passed 1,000 collegiate kills Oct. 9 at West Alabama and finished the year with 1,123 kills and 329 blocks across her time at Mars Hill and Trevecca.
 
Schnitzer climbed from 57 kills as a freshman to 271 this fall. Krangnes finished with 869 assists and eight double-doubles. Jordan Hunt led Trevecca with 81 blocks, and Elrod led with 31 aces.
 
Emily Moore earned her 125th career win Nov. 6 against Mississippi Christian. After eight seasons Moore is 125-109 overall, 36-22 in GSC regular-season play and 2-3 in the GSC tournament. The Trojans have won at least 10 league matches and reached the tournament in each of their three GSC seasons.
