UCF promoted Jenny Maurer, who has been the UCF associate head coach and recruiting coordinator the last seven years. She takes over for Todd Dagenais, who left to become the head coach of the Pro Volleyball Federation Atlanta franchise.
Maurer (then Cafazza), who was the head coach at Bradley when she moved to Orlando, was an All-American setter at Division III Washington University in her hometown of St. Louis. Before going to Bradley, she was head coach at Lehigh, hired at 30.
East Tennessee State hired Delaware State coach Dr. Bruce Atkinson. This past season, Delaware State won the MEAC and played Nebraska in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Atkinson was previously head coach at Winthrop, Towson and Hawai’i-Hilo. He takes over a ETSU program that finished 21-8 last season, 15-1 in the SoCon. After the season, fourth-year head coach Benavia Jenkins left for Michigan to be associate head coach.
