USI Athletics announced Wednesday afternoon head volleyball coach Randi Raff would not return next season after the women's volleyball team ended the 2022-2023 season 1-28.
“We will be looking for a coach to take USI volleyball in a direction that further elevated the visibility and reputation of the program” said Jon Mark Hall, director of athletics, in a press release.
The 2022-2023 season marks both the women’s volleyball program’s and Raff’s first Division I season as head coach. Raff had previously coached as an assistant women’s volleyball coach for multiple Division I programs.
Raff led the Eagles to a 51-60 record over her four seasons at USI. While coaching at the Division II level, she had a record of 50-32 and a Great Lakes Valley Conference record of 32-19, including a GLVC title in the 2020-2021 season. Read more about Raff’s career here.
“We appreciate Coach Raff’s contributions to USI athletics, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors,” Hall said.
Hall said Wednesday the athletic department will begin their search for a new head volleyball coach immediately.
