Eden's Logan Signs With Daemen Women's Volleyball Program

AMHERST, N.Y. - Sam Logan (Eden, N.Y. / Eden), a 5-foot-10 outside hitter from the powerhouse program at Eden High School, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Daemen College women's volleyball team, head coach Stephanie Albano announced today. Logan will enroll in classes and join the volleyball program beginning in the Fall 2018 semester.

"We are very excited to welcome Sam to the Wildcat family," said Albano, the 2016 East Coast Conference and NCAA Division II East Region Coach of the Year, who will enter her third season as the program's leader next fall. "Sam comes from perennial powerhouse Eden High School. She knows what it takes to play at a championship caliber. She is a true six-rotation outside hitter with strong serve-receive skills, and I anticipate her giving us more depth at the pin."

A four-year varsity player for coaches Stephen Pierce and Hailee Herc, Logan helped the Lady Raiders to three consecutive New York State Class C championships from 2014-16. After earning second team All-State honors in Class C as a junior, she upped her production and was a first team selection this past fall. In addition, she earned first team All-Western New York and first team All-Erie County Interscholastic Conference honors. 

The daughter of Chris and Connie Logan of Eden, N.Y., she will major in Business Administration at Daemen.

Logan will join fellow Eden products Kailey Ballou and Meghan Ballou on the Daemen roster next fall. Meghan Ballou, a 6-foot outside hitter, was an Academic All-District and second team All-East Coast Conference honoree last fall.

Logan is also the third player to commit in Albano's 2018 recruting class. She joins Isa McCaffrey (North Royalton, Ohio / Magnificat) and Allison Cousins (Eldred, Pa. / Otto-Eldred) whose commitments were announced during the early signing period last November. McCaffrey is a 5-foot-8 setter, while Cousins is a 5-foot-6 outside hitter.

Daemen, just two years removed from the program's first East Coast Conference regular season championship and a run to the regional finals, is set to return 11 players from their 2017 team which went 11-16 overall and 7-7 in league play. The returning players accounted or 74 percent of the team's total kills and 73 percent of the team's total digs from last season.
