NORMAL – Illinois State has plucked a head coach from another Division I program to lead its volleyball team.
Former Wright State coach Allie Matters has been hired as Redbirds coach to replace Leah Johnson, who left ISU for the same position at Michigan State.
“I am so grateful for this opportunity to lead the Illinois State volleyball team,” Matters said. “ISU volleyball has been built on the shoulders of extraordinary women, and I am eager to get to work and continue its rich history and tradition of success. I am honored to be a Redbird.
