Kelli Trautmann was announced as the new head coach for the University of Dallas volleyball team in March, 2017. Trautmann becomes the 17th coach named to the helm for the program.
Trautmann previously spent the past three years working as an assistant coach at the collegiate level. Her most recent stop was at NCAA Division III Allegheny College located in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Hired in May, 2016, Trautmann was brought on as an assistant but served as the acting head coach once 30-year head coach Bridget Sheehan took a leave of absence for the 2016 season due to medical reasons. The Gators posted a 9-16 record that campaign.
Prior to that, Trautmann was the assistant volleyball coach at NAIA Williams Woods University in Fulton, Missouri. The team went 22-15 and 9-3 in the American Midwest Conference (AMC) when she was an assistant in 2015.
