Previous Seasons
2025: Sareyka played in all 29 matches for Lancaster Bible as a junior and continued to lead the offensive attack for LBC. She ranked top-10 in the United East as she finished with 277 total kills and 2.83 kills per set, reaching double-figures 14 times with a season-high 17 against Penn St. Harrisburg on September 30. Lea also tore it up from behind the line, landing a team-high 63 service aces for fifth-most in the conference. She landed multiple aces in 17 different matches with at least five in three matches, including a career-high nine service aces on September 18 in a road victory over Hood. Sareyka earned a pair of postseason honors as she was named to the United East All-Conference Second Team and the NCCAA Mideast All-Region Second Team for her season. Lea also broke into the top-10 in LBC program history in both kills (725) and attacks (2,206) while ranking 12th in service aces (133) after her junior season.

2024: Lea Sareyka had a big jump in year two, starting all 36 matches for the Chargers. She led the team and ranked second in the United East in total kills with 350, ranking seventh in the conference in kills per set at 2.71 and sixth in points per set at 3.21. Sareyka had 10+ kills in 20 matches and 15+ in six, cranking a season-high 17 kills twice against both Elizabethtown on September 21 and RIT on October 26. Lea also finished third on the team in service aces with 51 and became just the sixth player in program history with over 1,000 attacks in a single season, leading the team with 1,039 and hitting at 19.7% for the year. Her 350 kills were the seventh-most in a season in Charger history and made her the first player since 2014 to reach that mark for Lancaster Bible. Sareyka now ranks in the top-20 in program history in kills (448) and total attacks (1,356) after two seasons with the Chargers. Lea earned her first career All-Conference nod with a United East 1st Team selection.

2023: Sareyka appeared in 23 matches in her first season, starting four times and playing in 55 sets. She started off slow but made a splash on September 29 with 11 kills against Moravian, then followed up with a season-high 12 kills against Arcadia just over a week later on October 7. Lea finished with 98 kills on the season, recording three 10+ kill games and adding 58 digs and 14 blocks. Sareyka also had 19 service aces in 23 games, with three 4-ace games throughout the season against Clarks Summit, Penn St. Harrisburg, and Penn St. Abington.
