Charlotte Knox Picks SMC Volleyball

Charlotte Knox of South Haven High School and Impact Dynamic Volleyball Club has signed with Southwestern Michigan College to play with the Roadrunners starting in Fall 2026.

SMC Head Coach Jenny Nate commented, "Charlotte Knox is a powerful six rotation outside hitter who knows how to put the ball down.  She is aggressive, tough, hits hard on the net and from the back row, and brings experience and offensive strength to the court.  The first time I watched her play, the force of her attack caught my attention; she stands out in any gym.  Charlotte comes from a strong high school team and high-level club program at Impact Dynamic where she is known to not only be a lethal player but an outstanding teammate.  She earned First Team All Conference all four years in high school and earned All Region for the past three years. Charlotte brings the same level of drive, determination, and dedication to the classroom and has earned Academic Team All State and Individual Academic All State honors.  We are thrilled to welcome another outstanding area scholar athlete to the SMC Volleyball Team and look forward to her continued success in helping us build a championship caliber team, program, and school."

South Haven Varsity Volleyball Coach Wendy Spencer added, "Lotte Knox is the type of athlete any coach would be fortunate to have play on a team.  While her talent and volleyball IQ are unbelievable, it's the unmeasurable attributes that bring such value to the table.  She is unselfish, plays with a leader's heart, and improves everyone on the team with her unmatched work ethic and competitiveness, positive energy, love of the game, and desire to make volleyball FUN in the process.  It's been such a privilege to coach her, and I couldn't be more excited for her to continue playing at the next level."

Knox joins Nyla Hover and Maddie Zache of Niles and Jordin Heiman of Cassopolis in the 2026 SMC Volleyball recruiting class.
