MARQUETTE
Head Coach: Ryan Theis Marquette head coach Ryan Theis is in his eighth season at the helm of the Golden Eagles in 2021. Theis was named the fifth head women's volleyball coach in Marquette University history on Feb. 14, 2014.
Heading into the 2021 campaign, Theis (pronounced TICE) is the top 15 among active NCAA Division I head coaches with a .731 winning percentage (301-111 career record) and a 157-57 record at Marquette. In his 13 years as a head coach he has never had fewer than 21 wins in a full season with a career-best 28 victories with the Golden Eagles in both 2018 and 2019. Theis guided Marquette to a 28-6 record in 2019, including a mark of 16-2 in BIG EAST Conference action and a high ranking of No. 7 in the AVCA Coaches Poll during September. The Golden Eagles advanced to the NCAA Second Round by sweeping Dayton in West Lafayette, Indiana before falling to Purdue, 3-1. MU was led by BIG EAST Player of the Year Allie Barber, who became the all-time kills leader in program history and was the first player ever at MU to earn AVCA All-America recognition three times. Barber capped her record-setting career by earning CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year honors as well as being named a Senior CLASS Award First Team All-American. |
TEXAS
Associate Head Coach: Erik Sullivan The 2021 season marks Erik Sullivan’s 11th on Head Coach Jerritt Elliott’s Texas Volleyball staff. Sullivan joined the Texas staff after making two previous Big 12 coaching stops at Nebraska and Colorado.
On the Forty Acres, Sullivan works with the Horns’ liberos and middle blockers, while developing Texas’ team defensive systems and scouting reports. The 2020 season saw Texas return to the Final Four and the NCAA Championship match, coming up short against Kentucky to finish as the NCAA Runner Up. The season was unlike any other due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Longhorns sweeping through the Big 12 schedule during the Fall of 2020 before playing a spring non-conference schedule to prepare for the NCAA Tournament. Texas earned the No. 4 overall seed at the tournament, hosted entirely in Omaha, Nebraska, and defeated No. 13 Penn State, No. 5 Nebraska and No. 1 Wisconsin on the way to the title match. During the summer of 2011, Sullivan served as an assistant coach with the U.S. Women’s Junior National Team at the FIVB Championships in Lima, Peru. At the championships he coached current Longhorn Haley Eckerman to a fourth-place finish. |
SOUTH DAKOTA
Head Coach: Leanne Williamson Leanne (Felsing) Williamson was named South Dakota’s head volleyball coach on April 9, 2014, becoming the ninth head coach in program history. She previously was the assistant coach from 2009-13 and helped the Coyotes transition into the Division I level.
The 2020 season was pushed from the fall to the spring due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that caused many leagues to move fall sports into the spring. The Coyotes captured their second Summit League tournament title in the last three seasons with a thrilling 3-2 win over Denver in which it won the final three sets after trailing 0-2. The 15-7 campaign concluded with a NCAA tournament loss to Missouri as the NCAA conducted its entire tournament, reduced down to 48 teams, inside the CHI Center in Omaha. Elizabeth Juhnke earned AVCA Honorable Mention All-American honors while also earning All-Summit League honors along with Sami Slaughter and Madison Harms. The 2019 season was another banner year for the Coyotes as Williamson led the program to a school-record 31 wins, the highest winning percentage in Summit League history (.912), and was named Summit League Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. South Dakota finished a perfect 16-0 in winning its first outright Summit League regular season title. The Coyotes advanced to the title game of the National Invitational Volleyball Championships (NIVC) before falling at home to Georgia Tech. It was the first home loss of the season after 14 wins and snapped an 18-match home court win streak that was tied for the sixth longest in NCAA. Sophomore Madison Jurgens was named Summit League Setter of the Year while senior Anne Rasmussen repeated as Summit League Defensive Player of the Year. Elizabeth Juhnke was named Summit League Freshman of the Year. |
