Erskine Men's Volleyball | Kuehl, Bauer, Widmyer earn All-Conference Carolinas selections

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas announced the 2026 men's volleyball all-conference honors, and the Fleet had three representatives earn postseason honors.

Tyler Kuehl earned a spot on the 2nd Team, while True Bauer and Mikey Widmyer each were named to the 3rd Team.

Kuehl, a junior middle blocker from Moore, South Carolina, led Conference Carolinas with a remarkable .456 hitting percentage on nearly 300 total attacks. Kuehl played in all but one set for the Fleet this season, totaling a team-best 74 blocks and his 0.83 blocks per set were eighth in the league. Kuehl reached double figures in kills five times this year, including a career-best 13 kills against Emmanuel. He also posted a career-high seven solo blocks in a road sweep of Barton.

Bauer, a junior outside hitter from Fort Morgan, Colorado, led the Fleet with 3.02 kills per set this season, a mark that ranked seventh in all of Conference Carolinas. In addition to his production on the outside, Bauer racked up 24 aces this year, which was second on the Fleet and his 0.27 aces per set were in the top 10 in the league. Bauer accumulated double-digits in kills 13 times this year, capped by a monster season-high 21 kills against King, and he tallied an ace in 16 of his 24 appearances.

Widmyer, a senior libero from Campobello, South Carolina, finished the season on a high, bringing in the Conference Carolinas Specialist of the Week honors in the final week of the season. Widmyer averaged 1.76 digs per set in 85 sets this season, a mark that ranked seventh in the league. Widmyer totaled double figures in digs seven times this year, including a 15-dig performance against Emmanuel.

Belmont Abbey's Caden Day was named Offensive Player of the Year, while Mount Olive's Luca Colombo earned Defensive Player of the Year, and the Lees-McRae duo of Davide Nicolini and Sam Albus earned Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year, respectively. The all-conference awards were chosen by the league's head coaches.
