BELFIELD — A familiar foundation and a fresh perspective will guide Belfield volleyball into the 2026 season. The Bantams will be led by first-year head coach Alicia Buckman, who takes over the program following the departure of Mara Obrigewitsch. "I hope the girls trust me as a coach and have confidence in what we're trying to accomplish together," Buckman said. Rather than focusing solely on the scoreboard, Buckman said her priority is continued development across the roster. Belfield opens its season Sept. 3 at home against Bowman County.
