BRADLEY
Head Coach: Carol Price-Torok Carol Price-Torok was named the ninth head coach in Bradley Volleyball history in February 2016 and is entering her sixth season on The Hilltop.
Price-Torok, who took over the head coaching duties at Bradley after spending the previous eight seasons at Arkansas, led the Braves to improved overall and MVC win totals in each of her first three seasons to mark the first time Bradley had higher overall and Valley win totals in three consecutive seasons since 1992-94. After a fourth-place MVC finish in 2020-21, the Braves have placed in the top four in the league standings for a program-best three consecutive years. Taking over a program which won 30 MVC games in the 10 years combined prior to her arrival at Bradley, she has led the Braves to 41 league wins in her five years on The Hilltop, including 36 over the last three years to tie the school record for league wins over a three-year stretch (1999-01). The 2018 MVC Coach of the Year has mentored six First-Team All-MVC selections during her time at Bradley, which is equal to BU’s total of first-team all-conference picks from 2002-16. Thompson was named the 2018 MVC Freshman of the Year and the Braves have produced a pair of First-Team CoSIDA Academic All-District V honorees. |

IOWA STATE
Associate Head Coach: Jen Malcom Jen Malcom returned to Iowa State in a coaching capacity as assistant coach in February 2016 and will begin her sixth season in 2021. The 2021 campaign will be Malcom’s third as associate head coach, as she received the promotion following the conclusion of the 2018 season.
Malcom, who played for ISU from 2006-08, previously coached at Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Arkansas State. ISU’s middle blockers have been outstanding in recent seasons, with Malcom’s efforts leading to a pair of All-Big 12 middles in 2019 in Candelaria Herrera (First Team) and Avery Rhodes (Second Team). Herrera led ISU with a .314 hitting percentage while Rhodes bounced back from a season-ending injury in 2018 to lead Iowa State in blocking with 110 total blocks. |

CENTRAL MICHIGAN
Head Coach: Mike Gawlik In his five seasons at the helm of Central Michigan Volleyball, coach Mike Gawlik has put the program on a firm foundation orchestrating a steady rebuild that has established the Chippewas as a perennial contender in the Mid-American Conference.
During an abbreviated 2020 season, which saw the Chippewas play a shortened 22-game conference-only schedule, CMU finished 11-11 tying them for second place in the MAC West Division. Senior Lisbeth Rosario-Martinez was named to the All-MAC First Team for the second-straight season and junior captain Savannah Thompson earned First Team honors for the first time in her career. The apex of Gawlik’s tenure in Mount Pleasant culminated during the 2019 campaign in which he was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. That well-deserved honor followed a magnificent season that saw the Chippewas finish 21-9, earn a share of the MAC West title, and advance to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. The division crown was CMU’s first since 2003. |

LOUISVILLE
Head Coach: Dani Busboom Kelly Dani Busboom Kelly, the 2021 AVCA East Region Coach of the Year, took the helm of the Louisville staff in late 2016 as the Cardinals’ head coach. She has taken the program to historic heights while the Cardinals remain just as competitive in the classroom.
The 2020 season for Cardinal volleyball stretched eight months, beginning in September and, for the first time, extending into the second semester of the school year. The Cardinals masked up and put together an 15-3 record and won the ACC Championship. UofL earned its highest postseason seeding with a No. 11 ranking going into the 48-team field. A 3-1 win over San Diego gave the Cardinals their sixth overall and second consecutive trip to the Sweet Sixteen. UofL won four of the ACC’s five major honors as senior Tori Dilfer was named Setter of the Year, sophomore middle blocker Amaya Tillman was voted Defensive Player of the Year, outside hitter Anna DeBeer was selected Freshman of the Year and Dani Busboom Kelly was named Coach of the Year. Dilfer, DeBeer, Stevenson and Aiko Jones were named First Team All-ACC and Amaya Tillman was Second Team All-ACC. Louisville placed four players, DeBeer, Dilfer, Aiko Jones and Stevenson, on the AVCA East All-Region Team. Busboom Kelly was named the East Region Coach of the Year and DeBeer won East Region Freshman of the Year. Stevenson was selected as an AVCA Second Team All-American with Dilfer being chosen as an AVCA Third Team All-American. In addition, DeBeer earned AVCA All-American Honorable Mention honors. Stevenson and Dilfer were also selected as members of the US Collegiate National Team. The Cardinals led the nation in blocks per set and led the league in opponent hitting percentage. Louisville also ranked among the top five in the ACC in hitting percentage (second), kills per set (second) and assists per set (second). |
