AIR FORCE
Head Coach: Keith Barnett Keith Barnett, a fixture on the Air Force volleyball sideline, is beginning his third season as the program’s head coach, after serving as the Falcons’ associate head coach (2018) and assistant coach (2015-17) during his first four years with the program. Backed by previous head coaching experience and a standout playing career at the collegiate and international levels, Barnett brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the head coach position.
As a member of the Academy staff since 2015, Barnett has been on the bench for some of Air Force’s most successful seasons at the Division I level and accounted for nearly half of its 58 Mountain West victories (26). During his tenure, Air Force has accounted for double-digit win totals four times, matched the program’s DI records for total wins (17) and conference wins (seven, three times), and accounted for the squad’s first conference-winning record ever at the Division I level (7-6, 2020). Eight of his athletes have earned all-conference recognition from the Mountain West, while Joi Harvey – the program’s first MW Freshman of the Year – became the Academy’s first all-region selection in 26 years following the 2020 season. |

During Williams’ first season at Syracuse, the Orange earned the program’s first NCAA tournament invitation and beat Yale in the first round. Syracuse ranked second nationally in blocks (3.08/set) and was one of two schools to have two players ranked in the top 30 in the country in blocks per set. Williams began his coaching career at Ithaca College in 2015. During his season on the sidelines at IC, the Bombers won the Empire 8 Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Regional Tournament semifinals. In 2016 he became an assistant coach at Colgate.

A perennial contender in the ACC, Duke has recorded 20 or more wins in 14 of Nagel's 19 campaigns and consistently finished among the top three in the conference. Nagel earned her 600th career victory September 9, 2017 as the Blue Devils downed TCU in straight sets.
