Western Kentucky volleyball coach Travis Hudson announced two new additions to the program on Friday, with transfers Kendall Meller from Colorado and Tayler Baron from Austin Peay.

“So excited about the addition of Kendall and Tayler,” Hudson said in a news release. “Although they both bring experience to the table at the collegiate level, I believe there’s still big upside in their development. But most importantly, they are two kids who value culture and team success which is at the core of WKU volleyball. Looking forward to having them on the Hill!”

Baron, a 5-foot-7 libero, comes to WKU after spending her freshman year down in Clarksville, Tennessee, as the starting libero for the Governors. She finished her inaugural season with a team-high 506 digs on the season for an average of 5.06 digs per set. Also one of Austin Peay’s primary serve receivers, Baron posted a .929 receiving percentage on 523 total attempts.

Meller joins WKU after spending two seasons at Colorado as an outside hitter. The 6-2 sophomore posted 30 kills on the season in 32 sets played for an average of 0.94 kills per set and finished the season with a .217 [30-12-83] hitting percentage. At the net, Meller posted 13 total blocks and only one blocking error.

Baron will be joining the Hilltoppers later this month. while Meller will finish out her year at Colorado and join the program later this fall.
