Middleton Joins UNC Asheville Volleyball Program for 2019 Season

01.10.2019 | Women's Volleyball

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville volleyball head coach Frederico Santos recently announced the addition of Harley Middleton.

An 5-foot-11 outside hitter, Middleton joins the Bulldogs out of Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach, Va.

"Harley is very athletic and versatile and she can play all three front row positions," Santos said. "She should provide depth in the front row and compete for time on the outside or middle. We are excited about the addition of Harley to our program."

Middleton's Ocean Lakes High School team was a 2018 state finalist in Virginia. Middleton was the team's Offensive Most Valuable Player and a first-team all-region selection.

In addition, Middleton was named All-Tournament as part of a Down Under Sports Competition in Australia in 2018. She also made the All-Star team at the UNC Volleyball camp where she received the award for the highest vertical measurement in camp.

Middleton is the latest to join UNC Asheville volleyball. Earlier this week, Santos announced the addition of 6-foot middle Lexy Cole out of Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville, N.C. 

They join a UNC Asheville volleyball program that won 10 of its last 11 matches to close out the 2018 season.

UNC Asheville's 10-match winning streak that was snapped in its Big South Tournament semifinal loss to High Point was its longest winning streak since 2005.

UNC Asheville's 16 wins this past season were the most for the Bulldogs since winning 17 in the 2013 season.
