The Muhlenberg volleyball program has added three new players to its roster for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign, head coach Rob McVicker announced Thursday.

The class includes libero Natalie Ma, middle/outside hitter Eva Myers, and outside hitter/defensive specialist Lizzie Steinkamp. Like McVicker's previous few recruiting classes, the trio hails from all over the United States; Ma is from North Carolina, Myers is from New Jersey, and Steinkamp is from Arizona.

"We are very excited to add Natalie, Eva, and Lizzie to the team," McVicker said of the newcomers. "We feel they can make an impact both on and off the court!"

The group will be tasked with helping replace 2026 seniors Camila Leyes and Christina Marcin, the latter of whom finished her career as one of just three players in program history to tally at least 135 aces, 800 digs, and 950 kills.
