- The 2022 season saw the Valiants capture their second-ever Skyline Conference Championship. Led by first-year head coach Tyler Blank, the Valiants went 10-1 in Skyline Conference play to earn the No. 3 seed in the Conference Championship Tournament. Manhattanville would win all three of their postseason matches to clinch a berth into the NCAA Tournament, the second appearance in program history. Vianca Vital was once again in the middle of everything on the court as the senior made her third Skyline Conference First Team as well as being named AVCA All-Region Honorable Mention. She finished the year with 920 assists, trailing only her own mark of 934 in 2019 for the most in a single-season. Vital was joined by Alejandra Figueroa and Grace Ballagas on the Skyline First Team, who finished as the team's leaders in kills and digs, respectively. The Valiants also made it back-to-back seasons with the conference's Rookie of the Year, as Loren Hernandez brought home the honors in 2022.

- Making their return to the court after the COVID-19 canceled season, the 2021 Valiants had a pair of rookies that made immediate impacts throughout the season. Grace Ballagas and Ayla Ruiz had phenomenal first seasons at Manhattanville as the Valiants went 18-7. Ruiz was named to the All-Conference Second Team after winning three Skyline Rookie of the Week nods and one ECAC Division III Metro Rookie of the Month honor, while Ballagas was selected as the Skyline Libero of the Week six times and the ECAC DIII Metro Libero of the Month for September en route to be named the conference's Co-Rookie of the Year. Ballagas was joined by Vianca Vital on the All-Conference First Team, who climbed up to second all-time for assists in program history. 

- 2019 was one of the most successful season in program history for the Valiants. Manhattanville won its first ever conference title in the NCAA Division III era, posting a 24-6 overall record and an 11-0 mark in Skyline Conference play. The Valiants won the regular-season and postseason Skyline titles to earn their first-ever trip to the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Championship tournament. They were led by Skyline coach of the year Amanda Alayon, Skyline player of the year senior outside hitter Austen Brauer and first team all-conference freshman setter Vianca Vital. Brauer set the program's single-season record for kills (403), while Vital set the mark in assists (934). Each player earned All-ECAC second team honors as well.

- The Manhattanville women’s volleyball team are one of just three Valiant programs to win at least 10 conference championships in program history, including seven conference regular-season titles (1983-87, 1993, 2001) and one conference tournament title (1998).
 
- The Valiants were arguably the most successful team on campus during much of the 1980s, posting seven straight winning seasons and an overall record of 140-97 (.591) between 1982-88. The 1986 team won a program-record 30 matches against just 19 losses on the way to a fourth straight HVWAC regular-season title, the fourth of five consecutive Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference regular-season championships at both the Div. B level (1983, 1984) and Div. A level (1985, 1986, 1987).
 
 - Valiant volleyball also was one of the first Manhattanville squads to win a championship as a member of the Skyline Conference, as the 2001 team went a perfect 7-0 to take home the Skyline regular-season crown.

- Susy Camaj '14 became the Valiants' first All-Freedom Conference selection in 2012, earning honorable mention recognition after setting a new school single-season record with 285 kills. She earned a second straight All-Conference nod in 2013 and graduated as Manhattanville's all-time career kills leader with 863 in four seasons.

Alissa Primavera was named to the All-Freedom Conference second team as a freshman in 2013 thanks to a season in which she smashed the program single-season kills record with 382, placing her top-50 in Division III overall and seventh in the country among D-III freshmen. She broke the school record for career kills in just three seasons, graduating with 908 kills from 2013-15. In 2014, she was joined on the All-Conference second team by classmate Megan Quinabo, marking the program's first year with multiple first- or second-team All-Freedom players. Quinabo is already Manhattanville's career leader in assists after only three years with 2,298.
