Sherry Dunbar to leave the Co


Two-time SoCon Coach of the Year, Coach Sherry Dunbar is leaving the College and returning to the Hoosier State to lead Indiana University's volleyball program. Coach Dunbar grew up in Indiana and was a record setting volleyball player for Ball State (Muncie, Indiana), which is part of the equation of why taking the Hoosiers’ job fits. With the network and support of her family back in Indiana, combined with her ability as a coach, there isn’t a doubt in my mind that Coach Dunbar will make the Hoosiers a force to reckon with on the volleyball court.

Coach Dunbar's tenure at the College produced the kind of stats and student/athletes to get her noticed by the big leagues; Dunbar’s record in 4 seasons at CofC is 113-22 (.837), with 4 SoCon (regular season) Titles, 3 SoCon Tournament titles, and 3 trips to the NCAA Tournament. Coach Dunbar's teams excelled off the court as well, winning the American Volleyball Coaches Assoc. Team Academic Award for three-straight seasons. Sadly, we will miss Coach Dunbar as she leaves the beach for green(er) pastures, but this is a once and a lifetime opportunity for her to make a difference and move to the next level.

The College of Charleston Volleyball Team Earns Their 3rd Straight NCAA Tournament Invitation


The College of Charleston Volleyball team (27-7) won their 3rd straight SoCon Title-with a 3-1 win over the 7th seeded UNC-Greensboro on the 19th of this month. They will represent the SoCon as the Cougs return to the NCAA Tournament to face Arizona State (15-14) in Gainesville, Florida at UofF. If the Cougs advance they will face the winner between Florida and Florida Atlantic.


CofC has an excellent chance to win at the NCAA Tournament. After beating the UNC Tarheels last year, the Cougars became the first SoCon team to win in the NCAA Tournament. They advanced to face Purdue, but the Boilermakers sent our ladies home with a close margin of victory. The College responded with a strong season this year, playing (closely) many big named programs, beating UNC once again and winning a 3rd straight SoCon Title (4th since 2002).
