Washington University head coach Rich Luenemann was named the AVCA National Coach of the Year. The Bears (34-4) won their NCAA-record 10th national title this month with a four-set win over Juniata College. It was Luenemann’s third championship and sixth title match appearance in his 11 seasons at the Wash U helm.

Ohio Northern University’s Brian Hofman won the AVCA’s inaugural National Assistant Coach of the Year award. Hofman completed his 17th season at ONU as its middle blocker coach. Hofman’s Polar Bears, including First-Team All-American MB Liz Schnelle, went 30-4 this season before losing in the regional finals to host and eventual Final 4 participant Hope College.
