Lauryn Gillis

Lauryn Gillis joins the indoor volleyball program for the 2019 season, after competing as a member of the South Carolina beach volleyball team for the 2018-19 school year and spending four years as an accomplished indoor volleyball student-athlete.

Last spring, Gillis made the transition from the indoor game to beach volleyball, coming to South Carolina as a graduate transfer from Wisconsin. In her lone season with the beach team, Gillis went 12-5 overall.

As an indoor student-athlete, Gillis was a four-year letter winner who played in 108 career matches – 21 as a freshman at Southern Cal and 87 over three seasons with Wisconsin. She totaled over 1,000 career kills and 500 digs, and helped the Badgers reach the Sweet 16 in 2017, the regional final in 2016 and the regional semifinal in 2015.

Gillis majored in communications at Wisconsin, and is working towards a master’s degree in Sport and Entertainment Management at South Carolina.
