PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE
Junior Krystal Haddock highlights the returners for Presbyterian in 2026-27. She delivered an impressive sophomore campaign last year for the Blue Hose, and the Big South took notice. Haddock was named to the league's Preseason All-Conference Second Team. She is the first Blue Hose player to nab preseason honors since Bryanna Brady and Tilda Sjökvist prior to the 2023-24 season.
Last year, Haddock was terrific on the glass, posting three double-doubles on the year while reaching double-digit rebounds four times. On January 23, 2026, she set a new program record on the glass, grabbing 12 offensive rebounds against Charleston Southern. On the scoring front, she reached double figures 11 times, including pouring in a career-high 18 at Longwood.
