BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo women's volleyball Head Coach Scott Smith announced his incoming class on Wednesday. The Bulls signed three incoming freshmen in Chloe Kube (Desert Blume, Alberta), Kam Roberts (Lewis Center, Ohio) and Mae Boynton (Fountain, Colo.).

The Bulls add another Canadian in Chloe Kube. She's a decorated high school and club athlete from Alberta who has earned major individual honors and championship titles at the high school, provincial, and national levels. As a junior, she was named League MVP and First-Team All-Conference while leading her high school team to both the League and Zone championships. In her senior year she received Second-Team All-Star recognition despite missing part of the season. Kube showcased her talents at the club and provincial level. She was named a U15 Provincial All-Star in 2024. In 2025 she captained Team Alberta at the U16 level and helped the team win the Canada Cup. That same year she earned U16 Club National MVP, U16 All-Canadian, and U16 All-Canadian Game MVP honors while leading her club team to the U16 Club National Championship and the All-Canadian Game title. In 2026 she again served as Team Alberta captain (U17), earned U17 Club Provincial All-Star and U17 All-Canadian recognition, and helped her club team capture the U17 Provincial Championship along with another All-Canadian Game title.
"Chloe has been one of the strongest six rotation players in western Canada for the past couple of years" stated Smith. "She has been a go to player within her club and led them to a national championship. Her competitive drive and work ethic are second to none. She will strengthen and push an accomplished group of outsides and truly elevate the competitive level of our gym."
Kam Roberts // Libero/Defensive Specialist // Pleasant // Lewis Center, Ohio
Buffalo continues to hit the Ohio pipeline with Kam Roberts. As a junior she was named First-Team All-Conference and First-Team All-District while helping her team reach the 2024 Ohio Division VI State Championship match. In her senior year she repeated as First-Team All-Conference and First-Team All-District, added Second-Team All-Ohio and District All-Star honors, and guided her team to a 2025 Ohio Division V State Final Four appearance. She's a two-time Marion County Fahey Award recipient and a three-time AVCA Phenom. At the club level she was a member of the 2025 AAU National Championship team with Mintonette Sports. With back-to-back first-team conference and district selections, All-Ohio recognition, multiple state tournament appearances, and a national title, Roberts has established herself as one of Ohio's top volleyball talents.
"Kam has always impressed us with her consistency and proficiency in the back row," added Smith. "She is a great defender and has been a stand out player in serve receive. She has good size for a libero, giving her a lot of range and is already used to playing in the defensive systems we utilize. With two of our defensive specialists graduating I expect her to make an immediate impact in our program."
Mae Boynton // Middle Blocker // Rampart // Fountain, Colorado
"Mae immediately stood out to me the first time I saw her," said Smith. "She is incredibly soft spoken but her play, speaks for itself. She has good height and a phenomenal jump, playing well above the height of the net. Her blocking is exceptional and she is a very effective attacker. She will help elevate our middle position and I am excited we will get to work with her this spring."
