(WILMINGTON, Ohio) – Senior libero Logan McQuillin has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference’s (OAC) Scholar-Athlete of the Month for September. McQuillin, who is from Defiance, Ohio, and is a graduate of Tinora High School, is a Biology (Health Sciences) major at Wilmington College with a cumulative 3.74 GPA.
 
For McQuillin, success on the volleyball court begins with a simple mentality: don't let the ball hit the floor.
 
“I think I've always just had a natural pursuit of the volleyball,” McQuillin said. “I would run through a wall if I could have the opportunity to get the volleyball.”
 
That pursuit has helped McQuillin develop into one of the top defensive players in Wilmington volleyball history. After earning Honorable Mention All-OAC honors during the 2025 season, McQuillin entered her senior campaign with another milestone in her sights.
 
“My goal for this season is definitely getting my 1,000 career digs,” McQuillin said during Wilmington's preseason media day.
 
It didn't take long for McQuillin to accomplish that goal.
 
During Wilmington's three-set victory over Geneva on Sept. 18, McQuillin recorded the 1,000th dig of her collegiate career, becoming the fifth player in program history to reach the milestone. She entered the match needing four digs and reached the mark during the opening set before being recognized in front of the home crowd.
 
McQuillin finished the match with a season-high 21 digs as the Quakers swept the Golden Tornadoes.
 
After setting 1,000 digs as one of her goals before the season, finally seeing the number become a reality was an emotional moment for the senior.
 
“It was definitely an amazing experience getting to do it with my team and just the support I got from them,” McQuillin said after the match. “I got emotional.”
 
McQuillin now sits fewer than 100 digs away from breaking Wilmington's all-time career digs record, held by Karley Schlensker.
 
While McQuillin's individual accomplishments have continued to grow, her senior season has also given her an opportunity to see the growth of a Wilmington volleyball program she has helped build over the last four years. McQuillin arrived at Wilmington during Head Coach Aly Wiseman's first season leading the program. Now a senior captain, she has experienced the program's development from the beginning.
 
“We've been building this, I feel like, since my freshman year,” McQuillin said. “I think we kind of set the groundwork last year. We didn't win a lot of games, but it didn't reflect how we played. We played tough, and I think this year everything kind of came together.”
 
McQuillin's role in that growth extends beyond her production on the court. With a talented group of freshmen and sophomores joining the program, she has embraced the responsibility of helping lead Wilmington's younger players as a team captain and helped lead the Quakers to winning eight of their first 10 matches in 2026. Before the season, McQuillin said she was excited to be a good teammate and provide leadership, whether that meant being vocal or making an impact behind the scenes. It is a role she understands because she was once the underclassman learning from Wilmington's veteran players.
 
“I had a lot of great role models coming up through the program, so I aim to do the same,” McQuillin said.
 
McQuillin has displayed that same commitment in the classroom. As a sophomore, she was named Academic All-OAC. During her junior season, she added another Academic All-OAC selection along with College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honors. Throughout her collegiate career, the Biology (Health Sciences) major has maintained a cumulative 3.74 GPA.
 
“Logan’s impact goes far beyond what she does for us on the court,” Head Coach Aly Wiseman said. “She is someone who is incredibly involved on campus and cares about making our campus community better. She’s the type of person who makes an impact wherever she is.”
 
Balancing the responsibilities of being a student-athlete while serving as one of Wilmington's senior leaders has made McQuillin's final season one filled with milestones and success. As her Wilmington career enters its final chapter, the foundation McQuillin helped build will continue long after her final match.
