EASTON, Pa. - Lafayette volleyball head coach Terri Dadio Campbell revealed her 2020 recruiting class on Tuesday afternoon, with six student-athletes set to join the program this fall.

Four different states are represented in the class, including two recruits each from California and Pennsylvania. Of the six future Leopards, four are expected to contribute as outside or right-side hitters, while the Maroon and White have also added a middle blocker and a setter.

"We are very excited for this group to be joining the Lafayette volleyball family," Dadio Campbell said. "We were looking to add athleticism and power at the net, and I am confident that we filled that. Adding a talented setter to the roster was also a priority.

"This is an exceptional group that will immediately raise our level of play," she continued. "Beyond their volleyball talents, they are all exemplary students who are eager to join the Lafayette community."
