Angel Agu joined the Columbia volleyball program as an assistant coach in June of 2024.
Agu joins the Columbia staff from the University of Rhode Island, where she served as Head Coach for three years after being promoted from an assistant coach in 2021.
In three seasons at the helm of the Rams, Agu coached two A-10 All-Rookie Team selections, two Academic All-conference selections, and two Atlantic-10 Weekly Award winners. As an assistant coach, Agu helped the Rams reach the A-10 semifinals in the 2020-21 COVID-19-shortened season.
"I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of something very special at Columbia, Agu said." "I want to thank Coach Santiago for trusting me to contribute to the culture he is building here. Columbia University is one of the most prestigious institutions in the country, and New York City is the mecca for competition, knowledge, and diversity. It is a place where talent meets opportunity. It is an absolute blessing to be able to represent the University, the City of New York, and the Ivy League. While getting to know Columbia, it was apparent how special this staff, these student-athletes, and this administration is, and I cannot wait to begin working with them. Roar Lion Roar"
Prior to Rhode Island, Agu spent the previous two seasons at Wisconsin as a volunteer assistant coach, where she helped lead the Badgers to the 2019 NCAA Division I National Championship match, after making the Elite 8 in 2018.

Additionally, during that two-year span, Wisconsin picked up 19 wins over nationally ranked teams and was 7-3 against top-5 programs.
Agu began her collegiate coaching career in the Atlantic 10, serving as a graduate assistant coach at La Salle. There, she helped lead the Explorers to the program's best single-season winning percentage in conference play since joining the A-10.
As a player, Agu had a successful five-year career at perennial A-10 power Dayton from 2011-15. The 6-2 middle blocker was a two-year team captain and four-time Atlantic 10 champion with the Flyers. She helped guide the team to four appearances in the NCAA tournament, where they advanced to the second round three times.
"As impressive as her playing and coaching results have been, they pale in comparison to Angel's ability to cultivate relationships, connect with people and tirelessly work to help all those around her be the best versions of themselves," Santiago continued. "We are elated for coach Angel, her family and the future of our program."

Former Camel standout Kayla Schanback was named assistant coach at Campbell University in September 2020. A two-time all-conference performer during her playing days, Schanback returned to Buies Creek after coaching stops at Virginia Tech and Eastern Kentucky.
I am ecstatic that Kayla has decided to come back to the Creek and continue to help develop our team and round out our strong staff, said Goral, who is in his ninth season in charge of the program. She was a huge component in the foundation of this program as an athlete and has several years experience as an assistant coach to now provide quality leadership to our young players.
Her first calendar year with the Camels saw two full seasons completed, with the 2020 season postponed to spring 2021, and then the traditional 2021 fall season. Schanback was part of the staff that helped the Camels finish second place during each regular season.
Schanback helped lead the 2021 team to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance after a record-setting 21-10 season and 14-2 conference slate, marking a program record for conference wins in a season. The Camels then faced No. 10 Nebraska in the first round in front of a crowd of 7,884, the largest ever for a Campbell match.
Working primarily with serve receive and defense, she helped turn the unit into one of the best in the nation, finishing the season with the 12th best opponent hitting percentage at .152. She has helped libero Claranne Fechter to a pair of all-Big South nods, making the second-team in 2020 and honorable mention in 2021.
Schanback returned to her alma mater after spending the 2019 season on the staff at Eastern Kentucky. In her position at Campbell, she assists with recruiting, training, scouting, match preparation, team travel, marketing, social media and overseeing summer camps.
What stands out about Kayla is her passion for Campbell volleyball as well as coaching the sport at an elite level, said Goral. This university and program are forever part of Kayla and that appreciation shows in how she approaches every day. She has been relentless in her professional development so that she has the tools to be successful on the court, out recruiting, as well as in the office. She also excels at building relationships and knows firsthand how I train and develop athletes; how we operate in a first class manner and the atmosphere and culture we are striving for. But most of all, I look forward to working with someone who truly loves her profession and another truly dedicated person who loves this place and this program.
While at Eastern Kentucky, Schanbacks responsibilities included serving as the program's camp director, managing travel and game-day operations, establishing the defense/defensive philosophy, scouting, assisting with all recruiting efforts, and supervising social media platforms.
During her time as volunteer assistant coach at Virginia Tech, Schanback managed on court and video work with players, scouted opposing teams, supported recruiting, assisted with game day operations, and coordinated equipment.
One of the most decorated defensive players in school history, Schanback ranks third in school history in career (1457) and single-season (566) digs, and eighth in career sets played (446). Her 35-dig performance against Gardner-Webb during the 2016 season is tied for the eighth-most digs in a match in the program record books.
A native of Casselberry, Fla., Schanback helped the Camels reach the 2015 Big South tournament final. In addition, Schanback played a key role in the 2017 squad that won 20 matches and earned the programs first-ever post-season berth (NIVC). She was named to the All-Big South Conference second team twice.
I am ecstatic about the opportunity to coach at Campbell. I want to thank Coach Goral for giving me the chance to return home, said Schanback. I believe strongly as a Campbell alumna that my passion for the sport, program, and University will be transparent in my everyday work as a member of our staff. Campbell Volleyball has proven to be a competitor in the Big South and with the talent, commitment, and positive team culture, I have no doubt we will make history again soon. I am excited to, not only work with everyone, but to make an impact that will help our student-athletes achieve their goals on and off the court.
Following graduation, Schanback was a student assistant at Campbell, where she helped coach the freshman defensive players, and organized the recruiting matrix.
A three-time member of the Big South Conference Presidential Honor Roll, Schanback earned her bachelor's of business administration degree with a minor in sport management in 2018.

Helm took over the reins of the Whitman volleyball program heading into the 2012 season. His leadership has mentored eight players in four years to All-Northwest Conference honors including first-team selections Jillian Davis and Olivia Nielson in his inaugural season. The Molokai, Hawaii, native has also been published in the AVCA Journal, penning an article titled 'Coaching and Dealing with Grief.' Helm made an immediate impact in that first season. In 2012 the Missionaries tallied their highest conference win total (9-7) and finished over .500 in the league for the first time since the 2007 season, securing a fourth place finish within the final conference standings.
Under Helm's guidance, Whitman won six of its last seven matches finishing the 2012 campaign with an 11-12 overall mark -- the eleven wins was the most by a Whitman volleyball team since the 2007 squad that produced a 13-11 record, and marked a seven-win improvement over the previous season with essentially the same team.
Helm's coaching philosophy is "teaching life lessons through collegiate competitive volleyball. What does that mean" says Helm. "That life is above and beyond just volleyball, that we take our work ethic, our relationships, our adversities on the court and relate them to life and how they will prepare us for life after college."
Towards that end, Helm says he tries to create a family environment within the team. "I want to have good relationships with my players where we have trust, open communication, we have faith in each other and I work collaboratively with them. It's not a dictatorship, obviously. Rather, we're striving to achieve goals that we all come together to agree upon."
Prior to arriving at Whitman, Helm had a stellar eight-year stint as head coach of Molokai High School in Hawaii. The Farmers won four league titles and earned six consecutive trips to the state tournament, including the 2010 championship, during Helm's tenure. Helm's win-loss record at Molokai was 79-37.
Helm gained his initial coaching experience at the University of La Verne in California where he served one year as an assistant coach. Coaching positions at California's Baldwin Park and Sierra Vista high schools followed.
As a player, Helm starred at La Verne. Named a captain in his freshman season, Helm, an outside hitter, went on to gain all-conference and Player of the Year honors. La Verne was still a Division I program at the time.
On coaching at Whitman, Helm says, "Coaching a Whitman student-athlete is unique. Their passion for working at getting better is very important to them. We try to create a competitive environment every day in the gym so that when we get into that situation in a game, we know how to handle it. And I think our players respond well to that, especially in the second half of the season."
Matt and his wife, Erika Helm, have four children: daughter Noelani and sons Kahili, Kahiau and Makaio. Erika Helm, a native of Chino, California, competed in track and field at La Verne and also has coached the sport at the high school level while also working as an elementary school teacher. She currently teaches kindergarten at Edison Elementary in Walla Walla.
