To be at Bates and in the NESCAC is just beyond exciting for me. This was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up, said Hayes. To work at an institution with so much history and culture, and with a volleyball program with both a history of great success and then in recent years, the improvement that the program has seen -- its just thrilling to be able to build on and continue in that direction.
Hayes is the 13th head coach in the history of varsity women's volleyball at Bates, a proud program that began in 1967 and once enjoyed a 36-0 campaign in 1989.
We're elated to welcome Emily Hayes as our new head volleyball coach," said Fein.

Her playing and coaching experiences will serve her well.

She developed three all-conference players in two seasons while establishing a culture of pride, trust and commitment within the program.
Hayes coaching style, she says, is one that is obviously going to be playing high level volleyball and developing a championship program, but I take the responsibility really seriously to be a role model and inspire young women in more areas than the volleyball court. So developing women leaders and immersing ourselves in the community and excelling academically while also holding ourselves to incredibly high standards in terms of volleyball.

Bear Grassl heads into his 22nd year at Sonoma State University and will coach his 21st season during the 2023 fall season for the Seawolves women's volleyball program. The Seawolves return to competition this fall after going 21-9 overall and 12-6 during their 2022 CCAA campaign. During the 2022 season the Seawolves advanced to the NCAA Division II West Regional tournament making the NCAA tournament for the 10th time in 17 years.
The four-time CCAA Coach of the Year has registered an overall record of 356-214 in 20 seasons at the helm of the SSU program, including a 245-151 record in conference play.
During the 2017 season the Seawolves advanced to the NCAA Division II West Regional tournament where they drew No. 1 California Baptist in the first round. Sonoma led the match 2-1, the top ranked seed rallied back to force a fifth set and knock the Seawolves out of the regional running.
In 2016, Sonoma State went 15-12 and finished second in the CCAA North Division standings with a 12-6 mark, but the Seawolves missed the NCAA tournament, ending an eight-year streak of appearing in the national postseason event.
In 2015, the CCAA Coach of the Year guided the Seawolves to their second straight CCAA title, their first CCAA Tournament championship in the conference's inaugural postseason event, and an appearance in the NCAA Division II Volleyball Championship Tournament for the eighth straight season, compiling a program-best 26-4 record.
In 2014, Grassl took the program to new heights, capturing the CCAA title for the first time in Sonoma State history and becoming the first team other than Cal State San Bernardino in nine seasons to win the CCAA banner. The Seawolves continued on to the NCAA West Regional in Nampa, Idaho as the No. 7 seed, and after upsetting No. 2 Alaska Anchorage and No. 6 Cal State San Bernardino in the first two rounds, they captured the regional championship after a 3-1 win over No. 8 seed Dixie State to advance to the NCAA Division II Championships in Louisville, Ky. Despite taking a 2-0 lead over Southwest Minnesota State in the national quarterfinal, Grassl and company saw their magical season come to an end after losing the next three sets in heartbreaking fashion.
The Seawolves, however, placed two of their players on the All-America Team, including the 2014 CCAA Most Valuable Player, senior Kelsey Hull, and the 2013 CCAA Most Valuable Player, junior Caylie Seitz. Hull was also later named the 2014-15 CCAA Female Athlete of the Year despite missing the first six games of the 2014 season due to injury. She finished the year with the fourth-most kills per set (3.67) and points per set (4.38) in the conference while leading the CCAA in service aces with 40 (an average of 0.46 per set). Defensively, she recorded the third-most digs on the team with 289 (an average of 3.32 per set), to go along with 37 total blocks (0.43 blocks/set) and a .943 serve reception percentage.
In 2013, Grassl led the Seawolves to their most-ever wins in a season, sporting a 26-6 record, including an 18-4 mark in CCAA matches. Sharing CCAA Co-Coach of the Year honors with longtime Cal State San Bernardino coach Kim Cherniss, Grassl guided Sonoma State to just its third NCAA postseason victory in the team's history with a 3-0 triumph over Western Washington in the first round of the 2013 NCAA tournament, but the Seawolves would see their record-breaking year come to an end with a 3-0 loss to Cherniss' Coyotes in the regional semifinal.
Also in 2013, Grassl coached the program's first CCAA Most Valuable Player in sophomore outside hitter Caylie Seitz, who led all outside hitters in the west region with a .330 hitting percentage and ranked among the top five in the CCAA in kills (443) and points per set (4.3). She also ranked eighth among outside hitters in the nation in hitting percentage and 16th in the nation in kills per set. Her 443 kills also broke the SSU sophomore kills record of 401 that was set in 2009. Seitz, along with three of her teammates -- Kelsey Hull, Madelyn Densberger and Hayley Ross -- earned AVCA All-American recognition in 2013, the most in program history.
The 2009 Seawolves got out to the best start in program history, winning their first 11 matches on their way to a 23-8 overall record and their highest national ranking ever. Led by a core group of local players and a roster that featured a pair of All-Americans, the Seawolves advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year, where they were upset by Cal State L.A..
The Seawolves then burst on to the scene in 2008 when they won 14 of their first 15 matches. As the season went on, Sonoma State stayed close in the CCAA title race but went 9-5 the rest of the season and finished tied for second in the conference (15-5). However, the Seawolves had a stellar home record, going 14-1 on the hardwood of the Seawolf Gym. Sonoma State also appeared in the NCAA Division II West Regional Tournament for the first time since 1993 but a first-round loss to conference-foe Chico State knocked the Seawolves out of national title contention.
Grassl took the reigns in 2002 and led the Seawolves to a 15-14 record. He repeated the feat in 2003 (15-14) and then went 14-12 in 04. In 2005 and 2006, the Seawolves struggled in the win column playing in the tough California Collegiate Athletic Association with a young squad.
In 20 seasons at Sonoma State, Grassl has coached 19 All-Americans and countless All-Conference and All-Region performers.
In addition to his success on the court, Grassl's teams have also displayed exceptional effort in the classroom in recent years, earning numerous Academic All-District honors, among other prestigious scholastic awards. In 2011, one of his players (Keala Peterson) earned the nation's top scholastic honor -- the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year Award -- as well as the CCAA's Female Scholar Athlete of the Year honor.
A 1991 graduate of Sonoma State, Grassl was head coach at El Molino High School from 1992-2001. During that span, he guided the Lions to six Sonoma County League championships, seven North Coast Section titles, five Northern California championships and one California state championship, in 1999. His career coaching mark at El Molino was an impressive 267-78.

The 2013 campaign followed a record of 14-17 in 2012. The Oilers reached the GLIAC Tournament in 2012, the first time they had done so since 2007.

Findlay, who advanced to the semifinals of the GLIAC Tournament for the first time ever, earned a four-seed in the Great Lakes Regional Tournament before being upended by Northern Kentucky in the quarterfinals.
The 2002 Oilers were 25-10 and co-champions of the South Division of the GLIAC. Findlay athletes were recognized as the South Division player of the week, six out of 11 weeks during the season, but the Oilers were eliminated in the first round of the GLIAC Tournament.
Findlay concluded the 2001 season with a 29-7 record, losing to Grand Valley State in the finals of the Great Lakes Regional. The squad finished the season ranked 21st in the country, marking the highest ranking the Oilers volleyball team has ended with in the history of their program. The Oilers also won the South Division of the GLIAC for the second straight year.
In 2000 Colchagoff led the Oilers to a 25-12 record. The Oilers were co-champions of the GLIAC South Division and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Regional before falling to Northwood University. This marked the first time that an Oilers volleyball team qualified for the NCAA Tournament.

He coached the Oilers to an impressive 38-10 overall record, earning their first ever birth to the NAIA National Championships where they took fifth.

Brian Rosen was named an assistant coach with the Creighton Volleyball program, head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth announced on Friday, Feb. 18. Rosen has spent the past three years as the head coach at Nova Southeastern, and last fall led the Sharks to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009.
Although it is bittersweet to be moving on from such an amazing group of young women at NSU, I am so excited about this new opportunity that Coach Booth has provided me to join the Bluejay volleyball family, said Rosen. She has created a culture of winning and prioritizing family, which are both so important to me. I look forward to using my strengths and experience to build on all of the success Creighton Volleyball has experienced since Coach Booth and Angie arrived. My family and I cannot wait to be in Omaha!
Rosen arrived at Nova Southeastern in 2019 and guided the Sharks to a 20-13 record in his first season. His program won their final six contests to clinch Nova Southeasterns first 20-win campaign since 2008. NSUs 12 Sunshine State Conference wins were a program record, and a pair of student-athletes were named AVCA All-Americans. His team posted a 3.61 GPA to earn a second consecutive AVCA Team Academic award.
After the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID-19, Rosens team stormed out of the gate with 13 straight victories to open the fall of 2021. The 19 straight victories (counting the end of 2019) were one of numerous school records set in the fall. NSU established program-best marks for Sunshine State Conference victories (16), and .800 winning percentage in SSC play, best overall winning percentage in the NCAA-era (.828) and most home wins (16).
The 2021 Nova Southeastern squad qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first-time since 2009 and had three Sharks earn AVCA All-American Honors, AVCA All-Region awards, and All-Conference recognition. NSU finished 25-6 overall with a No. 19 year-end ranking in the AVCA poll. The Sharks were one of two teams to defeat eventual national champion Tampa, but the Spartans returned the favor to eliminate NSU in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament.
What Brian has done at Nova Southeastern, turning around that program, is remarkable, said Booth. He cares about his student-athletes, and I think hell connect really well, not only with our players but with recruits. When you look at our past hires for that position, three of the five have been former head coaches, so clearly, I like people that have been able to navigate their own program and bring new ideas to ours. Were excited for Brian to do that with us.
Rosen joined the NSU coaching staff after spending two years at Davidson College as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. In his final year at Davidson, Rosen helped improve the Wildcats' hitting percentage by over .100. In addition to coaching for the Wildcats Rosen also served as the Carolina Juniors Club Director, where he coached seven consecutive teams to USAV National Championship bids.
Immediately before joining the Wildcats, Rosen served as the head coach at Providence (N.C.) High School, producing an undefeated regular season for conference and tournament titles, garnering 2016 Conference and South Charlotte Weekly Coach of the Year honors.
Prior to starting at Davidson, Rosen spent seven years (July 2009-May 2016) as the girl's head volleyball coach at Charlotte Country Day School. During his tenure, he coached the program to an overall record of 169-66, earning two state championship and conference championship titles in 2013 and 2014. After those two stellar seasons, he was named the Charlotte Observer Coach of the Year. In 2012 and 2013, he was named the South Charlotte News & South Charlotte Weekly Coach of the Year. In addition, he was honored with the AVCA Thirty Under 30 award in 2013; one of just two high school coaches to receive the honor.
Since the start of his coaching career in 2005, Rosen has also spent time as a volunteer assistant coach at Winthrop and served as the head coach of the men and women's club volleyball teams at the University of South Carolina.
Rosen earned his bachelor's degree in Sport and Entertainment Management, graduating cum laude from the University of South Carolina in 2008. He will be joined in Omaha by his wife Angelica and their daughters Bryce and Brady.

Hi everyone, my name is Joe Dreyer and Im the assistant coach at John Carroll University. Ive been playing volleyball since I was 10, and I was a libero in my playing days. Im hoping to use this time to better you and your volleyball skill set.
As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's

I really enjoyed how I was able to meet one on one with every coach, and I was able to show my skills in front of them. I also loved how informational the coaches were about recruiting process, and how I was able to see and experience the different coaching styles. I also enjoyed how there was a coach from every division including NAIA.

This is a great opportunity to showcase your talents in front of top tier college coaches at the next level, it not only allows you to showcase your strengths but also helps you improve upon your weaknesses due to the direct feedback from college coaches. I feel like a better volleyball player after this one day camp!

Your showcase opened my daughter's eyes that she needs to start preparing now to fulfill her dream of being on a collegiate volleyball team. Her attitude is now focused on what she needs to do to achieve her goal. The college coaches were outstanding, and were very informative about what they expect, and do with their teams. It was our first EXACT showcase, but definitely not our last one we will attend in the upcoming future. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you for everything, and connecting us to valuable college coaches.

I loved the competition and I think I improved as a player over the course of the days. It was definitely the best camp I attended all summer.

The EXACT Camp is my second exposure camp and it was way bigger and better than my first! It was amazing to be around girls with the same aspirations as me, hopefully I’ll compete against them in the future at the collegiate level. My experience with EXACT has been invaluable and extremely informative. It's definitely the easiest and best way to be exposed to college coaches. Thanks so much EXACT!!

Everyone was amazing and helpful, I enjoyed the exposure to college coaches! I learned so much more during this one day camp than I did during a 3 day camp I attended last year. I would definitely recommend EXACT, it helped me to become a better player overall!

As a parent of a student athlete, this program surpassed all expectations. The staff went beyond our goal of giving not just physical but mental training. They encouraged and critiqued those skills need to make our athlete even better than when she arrived. We all loved attending, and our daughter looks forward to next year or attending another one soon. Thank you for a great experience!

The EXACT camp allowed me to gain valuable college exposure, talk to college coaches, and receive advice about becoming a student athlete. From this camp, I feel more confident in myself because of the positive feedback I received from the coaches, and encouragement from the girls I was with. The 1-on-1 evaluation from a college coach was extremely beneficial and will help me improve to become a more dynamic player!

I was actually so nervous going into the camp, but once I got the to camp all of my nervousness went away. The coaches were all very nice and the camp was a comfortable place with everyone being very supportive. Not only was it enjoyable, I was able to talk to the coaches one-on-one, and get honest and thoughtful feedback to improve my athletic abilities and talents.
Before attending the EXACT Camp, I was very uneducated about college sports and didn't have a set school I was interested in, but this camp helped me have a better understanding of what to look for in the future.
