Glass Named Golden Eagle Head Coach

Spalding University named Taryn Glass Head Women's Volleyball Coach announced Athletic Director Roger Burkman.

When asked about the opportunity Coach Glass stated, "I am super excited for this opportunity to lead and support this great group of young ladies."

This past season the Golden Eagles finished third in the SLIAC and saw freshman Jayda Branch earn SLIAC Newcomer of the Year.
