UCF, which completed 9-18 this season, 2-15 within the Huge 12, fired coach Jenny Maurer.
The varsity had simply this on its web site:
We would love to thank Jenny Maurer for her dedication and dedication to our volleyball program and student-athletes over the previous 9 years. This weekend we met with Jenny to tell her that we’d be transferring in a distinct course relating to the management of our program. A nationwide seek for a brand new head coach will start instantly.
Maurer changed Todd Dagenais when he left to teach the Atlanta Vibe in final 12 months’s first season of the Professional Volleyball Federation. In 2022, UCF went 28-2, 19-1 within the American Athletic Convention. In Maurer’s first season, UCF completed 17-12, 8-10 in its first 12 months within the Huge 12.
