COMPLETE SKYLINE CONFERENCE RELEASE

---

NEW YORK | The Skyline Conference's 12 head women's volleyball coaches have cast their votes for the 2026 edition of the all-conference team, and Farmingdale State College junior outside hitter Samantha Russo (Bay Shore, N.Y.) and freshman right side Leslie Wandmacher (Bay Shore, N.Y.) have both been selected to the second team. Additionally, junior defensive specialist Samantha DiBiasi (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) was named to the Skyline's All-Sportsmanship Team.

Russo earns her third All-Skyline accolade in as many seasons with the Rams, after receiving first-team nods as a freshman and sophomore. Her 3.56 points per set and 2.98 kills per set averages both lead FSC, and rank seventh on the Skyline Conference leaderboard.

In her first season with the program, Wandmacher was selected as the Skyline's Rookie of the Week on September 28, and its Player of the Week on October 19. Her team-high 189 kills are the Skyline's sixth-best mark, with her 211 points entering the postseason serving as No. 9 mark on the conference ledger.

Farmingdale State (15-4, 9-2 Skyline) is the No. 3 seed for this week's six-team 2026 Skyline Conference Women's Volleyball Championship. The Rams will play host to a first-round match-up Tuesday night at 7 p.m. versus sixth-seeded St. Joseph's-Brooklyn.
