🔼 Here To Stay. WSU Interim Director of Athletics Jon Haarlow has announced that Women's Volleyball Head Coach Korey Schroeder has signed a contract extension keeping him in Pullman through the 2029 season.

"In his two seasons serving as head coach, Korey has established himself as one of the top young volleyball coaches on the West Coast," said Haarlow. "His ability to recruit and develop top talent is evident and will be a huge asset as we embark on the new Pac-12 next season. We are fortunate to have Korey leading Cougar Volleyball for many years to come."

Schroeder was named the Washington State women's volleyball program's 13th head coach in program history in January of 2024 after having served as an assistant coach in 2023.
