The Maryville University department of athletics announced that Ashlee Brockenbrough will serve as interim head coach of the Saints volleyball program for the 2016 season. She served on the coaching staff during the 2015 campaign.
“We are excited to announce Ashlee as the interim head coach for the Maryville volleyball program,” director of athletics Marcus Manning said. “She was a standout performer at Maryville, served as a volunteer assistant and most recently as co-interim head coach. I am confident Ashlee will provide a great foundation for Maryville volleyball.”
“Having been involved as a player, volunteer and a part of the coaching staff last fall, I have a great passion for this program and this current group of student-athletes,” Brockenbrough said. “I feel honored to be serving in this capacity for next year. Additionally, we have a great group of signees who will enter in the fall. I am so energized to get to know them and to welcome them into Saints Nation. I am going to lay a solid foundation for the program moving forward. Athletic Director Marcus Manning has a vision for the future, and I look forward to the challenge of making that vision concrete.”
Brockenbrough was an All-Great Lakes Valley Conference third team selection after her senior season in 2011. She led the Saints with 316 kills, had 118 and ranked third on the team with 39 blocks. In three seasons with the Saints, Brockenbrough finished her career with 802 kills to rank fourth on the school’s all-time kills chart. She also had the eighth best career hitting percentage in program history.
Brockenbrough coached local volleyball club St. Louis CYC volleyball club from 2010-2011 as an assistant for the 18’s age group. She helped both teams earn bids to the Junior National tournament. One year, Brockenbrough’s team placed first in the Gateway Region tournament and earned a second place in another season.
