LEXINGTON, Ky. – Texas A&M volleyball’s Kyndal Stowers was named as a 2026 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Player of the Year Semifinalist, the organization announced Friday.
Stowers is the second Aggie to be named a semifinalist for Player of the Year, joining Logan Lednicky who received the recognition last season. The senior is one of 14 players in the running for the award and was one of three from the SEC to be added to the list.
The outside hitter leads the Aggies offensively on all fronts, pacing the team in points, kills and aces. She has 317 kills on the year, averaging out to 4.34 per set and has eclipsed double digits in 16 of her 20 appearances. Throughout the opening three weeks of league play, Stowers went on a five-game heater recording 100 kills throughout that span and had three games with 20-or-more terminations.
Her versatility is what separates her in the SEC, as she is second on the team in digs at 184 which has helped her achieve 10 double-doubles this year. From the service line, she has 25 aces which already ranks as a career high for a season.
Stowers and the Aggies return to action tonight where they will host LSU at 6:30 p.m.
