Greapentrog And England Named To Men’s Volleyball Coaching Staff
The St. John Fisher College Athletic Department has hired
Kelly Greapentrog to be the inaugural head coach of the newly added men's volleyball program. Assisting her will be
Stephen England, as he has been hired to be the team's associate head coach.
Greapentrog is no new face to the athletic department as she has coached Fisher's women's volleyball team for eight years. While at the helm of that program, she has accumulated 115 victories and has taken the squad to the conference championship twice. Prior to her time at Fisher, Greapentrog was the head coach at Erie Community College for three seasons, leading the Kats to the NJCAA Region III Championship in her first year.
England is welcomed to Fisher after four seasons at Elmira College where he served as head coach for the men's team and assistant for the women's team. England is a native of Rochester as well as a 2006 graduate of Nazareth College.
England coached the Soaring Eagles men's volleyball team to 20-plus wins in each of the past three seasons, ranking as high as No. 7 in the country during his 2014 campaign, a year in which he also won the UVC Coach of the Year. In his four-year stint at Elmira, England's team's have finished in the top-15 every season.
Prior to his time at Elmira, he served as the graduate assistant for the women's volleyball team at the University of Washington for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. England also was on the coaching staff of his Alma Mater from 2006-10, helping coach both the men's and women's sides. During that time, each team won an Empire 8 conference title and went to two NCAA tournaments, including a Sweet 16 appearance. The men's program went from a 10-13 record in 2005 to winning three regional championships.
