AIKEN, S.C. – USCA head volleyball coach Glenn Cox is excited to announce the newcomers for the 2026 team.

Sophomore Olivia Moffett, redshirt-freshman Olivia Miller and freshmen Sophie Barnes, Rusne Radaviciute and Kendall Kozak will continue their academic and athletic careers with the Pacers beginning this fall.

"We are excited to welcome our talented newcomers to campus in August and look forward to seeing them making an immediate impact," Cox exclaimed. "This class brings in two NCAA Division I transfers in Olivia Moffett and Olivia Miller that will both bring experience, height, speed, and athleticism to the setting and middle positions. 

"The three incoming freshmen all come in with high level club experience and training. Sophie Barnes is a versatile solid six-rotation outside hitter with a high volleyball IQ. Kendall Kozak is a talented lefty fast tempo setter/hitter and I had the pleasure of watching Kendall get the kill on match point that earned her club team an AAU National Championship in 2025. Rusne Radaviciute is a solid six-rotation outside hitter that brings in a wealth of international playing experience from competing on her club team and representing the U-17 and U-18 Lithuanian National team."
