“Sport sponsorship continues to grow across the Landmark Conference, and adding men’s volleyball as our 24th varsity sport is a clear and exciting next step,” stated Landmark Commissioner Katie Boldvich. “Its competitive nature aligns well with the values of our league, and its growth nationally reflects the momentum we’re seeing on our own campuses. We’re grateful to the leadership at Scranton and Lycoming for their vision and open communication to allow us to make this announcement together. We’re especially pleased to bring all participating schools under one conference umbrella, which will strengthen scheduling, create another championship experience, and enhance the overall opportunity for all of our Landmark student-athletes.”

The addition of men’s volleyball comes as Lycoming College and The University of Scranton announced starting varsity programs, joining four current Landmark institutions — Drew University, Elizabethtown College, Juniata College, and Wilkes University — that already sponsor the sport and currently compete in the Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC).

"We are excited to launch this new program together with the Landmark Conference,” Lycoming College Director of Athletics Mike Clark said. "The program enhances our athletic offerings in a manner that will create some positive outcomes for many programs that call Lamade Gym home. We are confident that the men’s volleyball program will be a vital part of the Lycoming experience, providing valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and dedication."

With the inclusion of Lycoming and Scranton, all six schools will be positioned to compete for the conference’s first automatic qualification to the NCAA Division III Men’s Volleyball Championship in the spring of 2027.

“Adding men’s volleyball aligns with our goal to provide a diverse and dynamic student-athlete experience,” said Scranton Executive Director of Athletics Dave Martin. “We’re eager to see the energy and opportunity this new program will bring to our campus.”

The Landmark will develop scheduling and championship structures over the coming year, with full conference play anticipated in 2026-27.

More information will be shared as details are finalized.
