Katie Schumacher-Cawley Named Big Ten Women’s Volleyball Coach Of The Year
Penn State women’s volleyball head coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley was named Big Ten Coach of the Year, the conference announced Wednesday.
In her third year at the helm of the Nittany Lions, Schumacher-Cawley led the Nittany Lions to a 29-2 regular season, including going 19-1 in conference play and 16-0 at home.
Despite the one loss in the Big Ten, Penn State won a share of the conference title and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament while being ranked No. 2 in the final regular-season AVCA Poll.
Schumacher-Cawley became the first Penn State head coach to win the award since Russ Rose did so in 2019.
The Nittany Lions will begin NCAA Tournament play against 16th-seeded Delaware State at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 6, at Rec Hall. The match will be streamed on ESPN+.
