ABOUT THE PATRIOTS
Head coach Aylene Ilkson enters her third season at the helm of the program. The Patriots return 11 letterwinners and all but one starter to the 2019 squad. In addition, Mason will add six freshmen to complete its roster.
 
Mason (10-15, 8-6) ended the 2018 season with its best overall record since 2015. Making their first trip to the A-10 Championship in program history, the Patriots finished with a program-best A-10 record of 8-6 to finish fourth in the league.
 
The Patriots return all of their top three offensive performers: Bailey Williams, Peyton Ehmke and ShaLi Niu. Williams, a 2018 Second Team All-Conference honoree, led the team in kills per set (2.86) last season and has totaled 721 kills in her career. Ehmke finished her freshman campaign first on the team in blocks per set (1.03) and third in kills per set (2.25). Niu, who was named VaSID Rookie of the Year, was second on the team in kills per set (2.54) and third in digs per set (1.96).
