CAMP DIRECTOR
Leigh Ann Matesich recently completed her fourth season as the Purple Raider head volleyball coach.

In her first three seasons at Mount Union, she has led the Raiders to a 99-30 mark, including a new Raider record for wins in a season (30) in 2007 and this past season to the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. In her first year at the helm, Matesich was named 2006 OAC Coach-of-the-Year.

Matesich came to Mount Union from Miami University of Ohio where she spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach for their women's volleyball team. During that time she also completed her master's degree in sport studies. In 2004, she completed her bachelor of arts degree from DePauw University, where she earned three varsity letters as a defensive specialist and setter.

“I am very excited about the future of women's volleyball here at Mount Union. These camps will serve as a wonderful opportunity to work with volleyball athletes in our community, and help them further develop their volleyball knowledge and skills.”
