DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman Volleyball Head Coach Brittany Williams announced the signing of two incoming Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon with Neveah Donahoe and Sienna Lawrence set to join the program for the fall of 2025. Donahoe is a junior college transfer that plans to enroll in January, while Lawrence is a high school senior set to graduate in the spring of 2025.
 
Neveah Donahoe, a 5-foot-11 sophomore outside hitter/opposite from Katy, Texas, is set to arrive at Bethune-Cookman from Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas. She played her prep volleyball at Morton Ranch High School in her hometown of Katy, where she played four seasons accumulating 673 kills (2.4 k/s) and a 31.5 percent kills percentage. She also tallied 145 blocks (88 assisted) across her high school career, as well as 525 digs (1.8 d/s). While at Trinity Valley CC, Donahoe has recorded 430 kills, 135 digs and 88 blocks in two seasons.
 
"Neveah is a solid, true pin attacker who has the ability to swing on the outside and right side," states Brittany Williams. "She comes from a strong JUCO program and will bring depth and experience to the pin position. She will transition to the Wildcats program this spring which we are very excited about to get a jump start with working on her chemistry with the returning class – both on and off the court."
 
Sienna Lawrence, a 5-foot-9 middle hitter/opposite, is set to join Bethune-Cookman from Miami, Florida, after prepping at Palmetto High School. As a junior during the 2023 season, Lawrence registered 106 kills (1.5 k/s) on 223 attacks and hitting .296 on the year. She added 40 blocks (33 assisted). She plays club ball for Miami Hype, one of the top clubs in South Florida.
 
"Siena will be a great addition to a class that comes in to fill the shoes of some Wildcats category leaders in the middle blocker position," commented Williams. "She is a high-flyer that is not only a great blocker, but also will add variety on offense. She's playing for one of the top clubs in the Miami area at a very high level and will make a smooth transition into the Wildcats system."
 
Bethune-Cookman will face No. 5 seed Texas Southern on Friday, Nov. 22, at 1:30 p.m. CT, in the quarterfinals of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Tournament in Grambling, Louisiana.
 
Quarterfinals and semifinals matches will be available live on the SWAC Digital Network.
