GENESEO — Geneseo's volleyball season may be over, but four Lady Leafs are closing out the year with Western Big 6 All-Conference honors.
Junior setter Katherine Barickman earned a spot on the first team, joining six other players from across the conference. She was Geneseo's highest-placing selection.
Seniors Brylee Sheffler and Mia Balensiefen were both named to the second team, with Sheffler at middle hitter and Balensiefen at outside hitter.
Penny Kline, a junior libero, also made the conference list, earning an honorable mention nod.
The selections give Geneseo representation at all three levels of the conference awards. Two of the honorees, Barickman and Kline, are juniors and will return next season.
The recognition follows a 2026 campaign in which the Lady Leafs finished second in the Western Big 6 standings.
