ULM named Russ Friedland as its 11th head volleyball coach in an announcement by athletic director Nick Floyd on Tuesday, Jan. 30.
The hire of Friedland is still waiting approval from the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System.
At 34 he was making a name for himself as one of the best up and coming assistants while at East Carolina.
At ECU in 2017 they finished (22-11) overall with a single season record of 13 wins in the American Athletic Conference.
“I’m excited to see what coach Friedland will bring to this program and I hope the fresh energy he brings will continue to increase our level of play,” said senior outside hitter Jennifer McClendon.
