OXFORD, Ohio – Miami Volleyball has announced the addition of six new members for the 2025 season. Lindsay Kahren, Kamryn Utley, Lauren Coyne, Molly Creech, Lindy Radaszewski and Grace Kreutz will join the RedHawks' roster this year.
"Overall, I am very excited about the newcomers—both transfers and freshmen—for the 2025 season! I think we're going to see an immediate infusion of competition and, most importantly, some really great people joining the team," said head coach Dan Gwitt. "This class will also have the opportunity to join the current spring squad on our foreign tour this summer, where we'll be visiting and competing in Italy and Greece for 10 days. I think this is such an exciting opportunity and will help fast-track this group for the 2025 season, putting us in a strong position to accomplish some great things this year."
Lindsay Kahren, 5-7, L, Suwanee, Ga./North Gwinnett
High School/William and Mary:
Gwitt on Kahren: "Lindsay will be a fantastic addition to our 2025 roster. She has had a great career so far and will bring talent, competition, and leadership to our team. Lindsay is incredibly bright and already has a strong connection to Miami, with her mom, grandma, and great-grandma all being alumni. On top of that, she happens to be the niece of the great Coach Jenny McDowell. I am looking forward to getting Lindsay here with our group and seeing the impact she will have, both on and off the court, during her final season of college volleyball."
Kamryn Utley, 5-8, S, Indianapolis Ind./Cathedral
High School/Lehigh University:
Gwitt on Utley: "Kamryn is a freshman transfer with three years of eligibility left, and I'm really excited for her to be here with us this spring. She's fast, athletic, and has a strong desire to be great. Kamryn adds depth to our setting position, creating great competition and giving us more options both offensively and defensively for the future. I think she will be a fun player to watch for years to come, and our fans should be excited to see what she brings to the team."
Lauren Coyne, 6-2, OH/OPP, Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South
High School:
Gwitt on Coyne: "Lauren was the very first recruit to commit to Miami when I took over, and she will always be special to me and to the future of this program. She's a wonderful human being and someone I know will be a great teammate, ready to contribute to college volleyball right away. Lauren comes from one of the best clubs in the country and is no stranger to winning. She understands what we're building here and is eager to be a part of this program's success. She also comes from a great line of volleyball players, including her mom, who played in the Big Ten, and her uncle, who was an Olympian for the Men's Volleyball team. We are excited for Lauren to get here, join us, and add depth, competition, and options to our roster."
Molly Creech, 5-9, OH/DS, Cincinnati, Ohio/Saint Ursula
Academy:
Gwitt on Creech: "Molly is a player I'm really excited about, and I believe she's going to have a massive impact on this program right away. She can do it all on the court, and she's fiercely competitive. She grew up playing for one of the best clubs and high schools in Cincinnati, and she's ready to get here and compete immediately. Beyond her skill set, she's a wonderful person who I believe will become a leader quickly, bringing not only competition but also positivity and leadership to the team. Also, her dad, Dan Creech, was a Hall of Fame soccer player at Miami, so I know this school means a lot to her and her family. I'm excited to see Molly carve her own path here, and hopefully, one day, join her dad in the Hall of Fame."
Lindy Radaszewski, 6-0, MH, Cincinnati, Ohio/Ursuline
Academy:
Gwitt on Radaszewski: "Lindy is another fierce competitor who comes from a great local club and high school in Cincinnati. She also has strong family ties to Miami, with both of her parents being alumni. This connection, beyond her volleyball talent, really stood out to me during her recruiting process. I know this school means a lot to her, and her competitive drive makes me confident that she will create her own legacy and make her family proud. Lindy wants to be great, and I know she will push our front row group immediately when she joins us in May!"
Grace Kreutz, 5-10, OH, Bannockburn, Ill./Loyola
Academy:
Gwitt on Kreutz: "Grace is a great athlete and incredibly competitive. She plays for a top club and high school in Chicago, and I'm excited to see her come in and compete. I think she's one of those players who will just find a way on the court, no matter what, even as a freshman. Her dad, Olin, is an NFL veteran and future Hall of Famer, so it's no surprise that she's got some of that competitive drive and work ethic from him. Grace will be fun to watch, and there's no doubt she will bring it to our gym every day."
