• Trinity also returns its top setter from 2025 in Hendricks, while Jago and Nash provide veteran leadership in the back row. Together, the senior group gives the Bantams experience at several key positions heading into the 2026 campaign.
• Head coach Jen Bowman enters the 2026 season at the helm of the Trinity volleyball program. Bowman will look to lead a veteran Bantam squad back into contention in the competitive NESCAC, with Trinity returning the majority of its 2025 roster and adding two first-years.
