Players gather at Roberta's Village Inn before being honored for their standout season

Members of the University of La Verne women's volleyball team gathered at Roberta's Village Inn this morning for a special breakfast with supporters ahead of the annual Scholarship Gala, where the group will be recognized for its remarkable season.

The informal gathering brought together players and university leaders to reflect on the program's accomplishments and the impact of scholarships, that for many help make the student-athlete experience possible.

Wendy Lau, a ULV trustee and Scholarship Gala Committee co-chair, praised the players for embodying the spirit of the institution.

"This is a phenomenal group of women," Lau said. "They're a great example of the type of students who come to La Verne. They're students, they're scholars, they're athletes-they do it all. Many are involved in jobs on or off campus or participate in clubs and other activities."

The 2026 Scholarship gala will take place Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Sheraton Fairplex Suites and Conference Center in Pomona. It will highlight the importance of academic scholarship support while celebrating student achievement and the donors who help make their education a reality.
