Toni Rodriguez began her collegiate career as an indoor volleyball player at LSU from 2014 to 2018 before transitioning to beach volleyball in 2019. She competed for three beach seasons, including the COVID year, and earned three degrees during her seven years at LSU. Toni quickly established herself as a rising professional talent and became part of the first-ever AVP League Championship Team in 2024 alongside partner Geena Urango and the Men’s Duo of Chase Budinger and Miles Evans.
A current member of the USA National Team, Toni has earned at least one international medal every year since beginning her FIVB career in 2022. In May 2025, she captured her second FIVB gold medal in Xiamen, China, with partner Kylie Deberg. One of the standout stretches of her career came in 2024, when she and Molly Shaw won silver, bronze, and gold medals in three consecutive Challenger events across three different countries in three weeks. After competing for the San Diego Smash in 2024 and 2025 and recovering from an injury sustained in 2025, Toni returns to the AVP League in 2026 with the New York Nitro alongside new partner Molly Shaw.
Outside of volleyball, Toni enjoys cooking Cajun food, baking bread for friends in California, and coaching junior athletes pursuing collegiate volleyball careers. She also loves spending time with her fiancé, Chaim Schalk, and his daughter.
