Hall of Fame
2002 Volleyball: Under the direction of first-year Head Coach Craig Bere, the Eagles were the first USI Volleyball team to advance to the NCAA tournament and also the only team to date to advance out of the first round in the NCAA Tournament. The team had seven returning players, two freshmen, two transfers, and one walk-on, which created a strong core of remarkable women who posted a 26-8 season.
At present, this team includes four of the five USI Hall of Fame volleyball athletes: Shannon Wells, Kim Boehmer Coffman, Leeanne Gross Gleim, and Laura Ellerbusch Schnur. Their USI volleyball experience has created a strong life-long bond. "USI Till I Die."
