CUMBERLAND, Md. – The Allegany College of Maryland volleyball team concluded the 2026 season with an 8-9 overall record and a 6-7 mark in Maryland JUCO competition, earning a spot in the NJCAA Region 20 Tournament during the first season under Head Coach Kylie Heyne.

The Trojans opened the year with momentum, winning their first three contests, including thrilling five-set victories over Hagerstown Community College and Harford Community College. Those early wins helped establish the competitive mindset that defined ACM throughout the season as the Trojans battled through one of the toughest schedules in Region 20.

ACM proved its ability to perform under pressure, winning four matches that went the distance. The Trojans earned five-set victories over Hagerstown Community College, Harford Community College, Chesapeake College, and Carroll Community College while also collecting straight-set wins over the Community College of Beaver County, Harford Community College, and Baltimore City Community College.

The season featured several impressive performances against conference opponents as ACM finished 6-7 in Maryland JUCO play and secured a postseason berth. The Trojans finished 3-2 in true road matches and consistently competed against some of the region's top programs throughout the fall.

Offensively, Chloe DeBlock emerged as ACM's primary attacking threat, leading the team with 156 kills while averaging 5.20 kills per set. Carly Sowers provided a strong secondary option with 108 kills, while Allison Angelo contributed 80 kills and 39 service aces. Summer Giffin made an immediate impact when on the floor, totaling 41 kills while posting a team-best .181 hitting percentage.

The Trojans were guided by a pair of setters throughout the season. Audrey Harvey led the team with 209 assists, averaging 5.23 assists per set, while Addison Franz added 178 assists and 26 service aces.

Defensively, Adyson Weyandt paced ACM with a team-high 176 digs, followed by Allison Angelo with 153 and Chloe DeBlock with 138. Summer Giffin averaged nearly five digs per set, recording 64 digs in limited action. At the net, Carly Sowers led the Trojans with 19 total blocks, while Audrey Harvey and Weyandt each finished with nine.

As a team, ACM accumulated 504 kills, 454 assists, 210 service aces, 815 digs, and 49.5 blocks during the season. The Trojans averaged 8.26 kills, 7.44 assists, 3.44 aces, and 13.36 digs per set while recording twice as many service aces as their opponents.

The Trojans' season came to an end in the NJCAA Region 20 Tournament play-in match against Garrett College. Chloe DeBlock led ACM with nine kills and 11 digs, Allison Angelo added 13 digs, Audrey Harvey recorded 17 assists, and Jaiden Fradiska contributed seven digs in the final match of the season.

"I couldn't be prouder of the effort this group gave throughout the season," said Heyne. "This team faced challenges, continued to compete, and never stopped working to improve. We established a foundation this season and gained valuable experience that will help move the program forward."

While the season ended in postseason play, the Trojans demonstrated resilience, competitiveness, and growth throughout the year. With several players gaining significant collegiate experience and a strong foundation established under first-year head coach Kylie Heyne, ACM looks poised to build upon the successes of the 2026 campaign heading into next season.
