    Miami (OH) Volleyball 2026: Season Outlook & Program Overview

    Original analysis of the Miami RedHawks program, coaching staff, and 2026 outlook.

    2026 Season Outlook

    Miami University's RedHawks open the 2026 season in the Mid-American Conference with a nineteen-player roster drawn heavily from the Midwest - Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois account for most of it. Dan Gwitt's team plays 27 matches, twelve of them at Millett Hall in Oxford, after two August exhibitions against Xavier and Wright State that do not count toward the record. The non-conference schedule is built around three tournaments in three states: the Bearkat Invitational in Huntsville, Texas, Miami's own Miami/Best Western Invitational at Millett Hall, and the ISTAP Collegiate Cup in Montgomery, Alabama. MAC play is structured almost entirely as two-match series against the same opponent on consecutive days, which gives the conference schedule a rhythm most leagues do not have. The season's emotional center is the Battle of the Bricks against Ohio, played twice - in Athens on November 8 and at Millett Hall on November 12.

    Program History & Tradition

    Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, competes in the Mid-American Conference and plays its home volleyball matches at Millett Hall. The RedHawks are a separate institution from the University of Miami Hurricanes of Coral Gables, Florida, who play in the ACC. Miami's rivalry with Ohio, the Battle of the Bricks, is contested across every sport the two schools share and is the most anticipated date on the volleyball calendar; the RedHawks meet the Bobcats twice in 2026. Miami's 2025 season ended with a loss to Toledo in the MAC Tournament.

    Head Coach Spotlight

    Dan Gwitt is the head coach of Miami (OH) volleyball. His staff includes assistant coaches Kristina Fultz-Bowling, Amanda Chamberlain and Lisa Schaad, who joined the program in July 2026. The program can be reached at muvb@miamioh.edu or 513-529-6922.

    What to Watch in 2026

    The Battle of the Bricks against Ohio is the headline, and it happens twice: at Athens on November 8 and at Millett Hall on November 12. Before that, MAC play opens with a two-match road series at Bowling Green on September 24 and 25, followed by Buffalo at home on October 1 and 2, Eastern Michigan on the road October 15 and 16, and Toledo at home October 30 and 31. Ball State is the exception to the series format, split between a road match on October 6 and a home match on October 20. Non-conference play closes with a home-and-home against Northern Kentucky, at Millett Hall on September 18 and in Highland Heights the next night. The regular season ends on the road at Western Michigan on November 13, with the MAC Tournament to follow.

    Miami (OH) Volleyball 2026 Schedule Overview

    Last updated: August 24, 2026

    This page covers the Miami University RedHawks of Oxford, Ohio, who compete in the Mid-American Conference. If you are looking for the University of Miami Hurricanes of Coral Gables, Florida, that is a different school in the ACC. The 2026 Miami (OH) volleyball schedule runs 27 matches, twelve of them at Millett Hall, plus two August exhibitions - Xavier on August 12 and Wright State on August 22 - that do not count toward the record. Non-conference play is built around three tournaments: the Bearkat Invitational in Huntsville, Texas on August 28 and 29, where Miami plays McNeese and host Sam Houston on the same day before Cal State Fullerton; Miami's own Miami/Best Western Invitational at Millett Hall on September 4 and 5, hosting Evansville, Kansas City and Purdue Fort Wayne; and the ISTAP Collegiate Cup in Montgomery, Alabama on September 11 and 12 against Nicholls, host Alabama State and South Carolina State. A home-and-home with Northern Kentucky closes non-conference play. MAC play is built on pairs, running almost entirely as two-match series against the same opponent on consecutive days - Bowling Green, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan and Toledo - with Ball State the exception, split between a road match on October 6 and a home match on October 20. Full dates, times in Eastern, and venues are below.

    Miami (OH) opens the regular season August 28 against McNeese at 11:00 a.m. ET at the Bearkat Invitational in Huntsville, Texas. The August 12 and August 22 dates were exhibitions.

    Key Players to Know

    Raegan Lantz

    Middle Blocker / Opposite

    Senior from Holland, Michigan and the most experienced front-row option on a roster that carries nineteen players drawn heavily from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois.

    Chelsea Williams

    Outside Hitter

    Senior from Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, one of four seniors on a roster otherwise weighted toward freshmen and sophomores.

    Sophie Crawford

    Setter

    Junior from Kalamazoo, Michigan at 6-foot-2, part of a deep setter group that also includes graduate Piper Willinger and junior Kamryn Utley.

    Maria Insana

    Defensive Specialist

    Senior from Chagrin Falls, Ohio anchoring the back row alongside freshmen liberos Ria Furuta and Rachel Morgan.

    Venue Information

    Millett Hall, on Miami University's campus in Oxford, Ohio, hosts all twelve home matches in 2026. Doors typically open one hour before first serve. Season tickets are $40 general public, $28 for Miami faculty and staff and $70 courtside, all fees included, through the Miami Athletics ticket site; courtside seats go through the Miami Athletic Ticket Office at 513-529-4295. Note that the widely published Millett Hall capacity figure is the basketball configuration - confirm the volleyball setup with Miami Athletics before relying on a seating number.

    Season Expectations

    Miami plays 27 matches in the Mid-American Conference, twelve of them at Millett Hall, with the MAC Tournament to follow the regular season; its dates and host site are announced later in the fall. The 2025 season ended with a loss to Toledo in the MAC Tournament. The conference schedule's two-match series format means momentum compounds quickly in either direction - a swept weekend against Buffalo or Toledo moves the standings twice as fast as a single result. The Battle of the Bricks against Ohio, played home and away in November, is the measure most fans in Oxford will use.
