# 2023 Lindenwood Lions men's volleyball team

The 2023 Lindenwood Lions men's volleyball team represented Lindenwood University in the 2023 NCAA Division I & II men's volleyball season. The Lions, led by fifth year head coach Joe Kosciw, played their home games at Robert F. Hyland Arena. The Lions were members of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and were picked to finish seventh in the MIVA preseason poll. Because D1 and D2 men's volleyball are combined, Lindenwood's move to D1's OVC did not affect the men's volleyball program, and they were eligible for all postseason play.
