Rachel Vick was hired as an Assistant Coach in August of 2018.
This will be her first season back with the team after playing four seasons for the Colonels from 2012-2015.
“What an honor it is to be welcoming Rachel back to EKU and our volleyball program,” Head Coach Lori Duncan stated. “She had an outstanding career on the court and distinguished herself as one of the best to ever wear maroon and white. Her passion and loyalty as a competitive student-athlete enabled us to achieve success. As I enter my last season as head coach, I’ll be counting on their leadership and experience to help us win an OVC Championship.”
Vick etched her name in the EKU record books during her decorated four year career. The Bay Village, Ohio native ranks continues to rank among the program’s top-10 in career solo blocks (102) and career hitting percentage (.257). Vick’s .307 hitting percentage in 2014 is the seventh best single-season percentage in school history.
The standout ended her senior season with a selection to the All-Ohio Valley Conference Team.
“I am thrilled to join the EKU volleyball staff and give back to a program that has given so much to me,” Vick stated.
Vick received her bachelor’s of science in occupational science from EKU in May of 2016 and her master’s of science in occupational therapy in May of 2018.
