Interim Athletic Director,
Seamus Gregory commented, "Upon review of the candidate pool for our Women's Volleyball position, we were looking for passion and the energy to get the program back in the hunt of things in the UMAC (Upper Midwest Athletic Conference). Chelsea Meierotto is somebody whom we believe can do that in a short time. She has the coaching experience and is also ready to take the next step in her career and we couldn't be more excited to have her join our staff. It will take a little time but Chelsea is most definitely up to the task, we're excited".
