Kelly Greapentrog Named Women’s Volleyball Coach
Kelly Greapentrog has been hired as the head women’s
volleyball coach at The College at Brockport. She replaces John
Tuttle, who coached the Golden Eagles for 11 years.
Brockport’s volleyball program has enjoyed immense success
including its first NCAA appearance since 1994 with a trip to the
national tournament as an at-large bid in 2006. In the late
1980’s and early 1990’s, Brockport boasted one of
Division III’s most recognizable and successful volleyball
programs. The Golden Eagles have won at least a share of the SUNYAC
Western Division in nine of the last 11 years.
For the past three years Greapentrog served as the head coach at
St. John Fisher College. In her first campaign, the Cardinals
posted a 14-16 overall record, but won 12 of their final 16 matches
to finish the season. Fisher kept the ball rolling in 2008 with a
22-13 overall mark, the most wins the program has had in 10
seasons. In 2009, she guided the Cardinals to their second
consecutive 20-win season.
Greapentrog was a recipient of the American Volleyball Coaches
Association (AVCA) Thirty-Under-30 Award in 2008 which honors the
top 30 volleyball coaches under the age of thirty at any level of
organized volleyball. In three seasons she coached 13 Empire 8
All-Conference honorees and three All-Region selections.
Before being named the head coach at Fisher, she served as the
assistant coach for two seasons. Prior to coaching at Fisher,
Greapentrog was the head coach at Erie Community College for three
years and led the Kats to the NJCAA Region III championship match
in her first campaign. She has also coached at the club level,
serving as the head coach for the Western New York Storm for eight
years.
A 2002 graduate of Buffalo State College, Greapentrog played four
seasons of volleyball for the Bengals and served as the team
captain in her final two
