[May 16, 2013]  Lincoln Christian University has signed Lebanon High School senior Kyleigh Johnson. Johnson is the third recruit to sign with LCU volleyball in their 2013 recruiting class.

Johnson is coming off an impressive senior year at Lebanon High, where she was a defensive specialist. As a team, Lebanon went the furthest in state playoffs in their entire history by winning their regional tournament under a first-year head coach. As a player on the back row, Johnson was able to record 114 total digs during her season.

When asked about her decision to come to LCU, Johnson said: "I love the school and have been interested in the volleyball program for quite a while. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone and be able to continuing to grow in my relationship with Christ."

LCU volleyball head coach Dave Donnelly had this to say about the signing: "Kyleigh is someone that popped up on our radar this last season that we're really excited about. She's coming in from a high school program that is on the upswing. She knows what it takes to win, and she's someone that we believe will help us succeed our goals here at LCU. We believe she'll be able to fit right in at the school and help us continue our volleyball tradition."
