Volleyball

Since its first year of interscholastic competition in 1978 after forming a few years prior as a club sport, the volleyball program remains one of the most popular and successful athletic teams at Beaumont.

Under the leadership of Pat Royer, who spent 22 seasons at Beaumont, the Blue Streaks made three consecutive trips to the state Final Four and won the state championship in the fall of 2012.

That was a historic first state title for the sport, joining cross country and track and field as the only teams to earn that distinction at Beaumont. During the 2012 championship tournament, Beaumont set and still holds the Division II State Tournament record for number of digs in a five-set match (116) and the number of digs in a two-match span (198).

Numerous Beaumont volleyball alumnae have continued to play collegiately at NCAA institutions. Class of 2021 members Darby Leininger (University of Mount Union), Sarah Yohann (University of Mount Union), Tyah Williams (Tiffin University), and class Salutatorian Bella Peroni (Niagara University) are among the latest to join that list.

Mandy Barney, Head Coach

Barney attended New Knoxville High School, OH where she earned varsity letters in basketball and volleyball for the Rangers. She was the team captain of both her high school teams and garnered first team all-conference and all-district honors in volleyball in addition to being named honorable mention all-state after her senior year. From there, she went on to attend Edinboro University (now PennWest Edinboro) and earned four varsity letters while playing for the Fighting Scots who were 80-53 (.602) during her career. She was a team captain and a six-rotation middle blocker. Barney received all-region honors her sophomore year with the Scots which culminated in the first of two trips Edinboro made to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight during her career. The Fighting Scots returned to the Elite Eight in her senior year of 1998 with another NCAA Tournament appearance sandwiched in-between in 1997. She coached at Cleveland Volleyball Company from 2016-2021 and is now with The Academy Volleyball Club.
