Syracuse volleyball names Bakeer Ganesharatnam new head coach

The Syracuse Orange volleyball program has unveiled its new head coach. Bakeer Ganesharatnam takes the reigns with sixteen years of previous coaching experience. He replaces Leonid Yelin, who resigned after leading the team for the last decade including a record of 17-13 (6-12 ACC) last year.

Ganesharatnam just concluded an eleven-year stint with the Temple Owls where his teams won a combined 173 games. Four of those seasons (2014-2017) featured at least 20 wins. Just two years ago, he guided the Owls to an AAC Tournament Championship appearance.
