Malia Shoji has been named the new head coach of the volleyball program at UNLV, Director of Athletics Erick Harper announced on Wednesday.
Shoji comes to Las Vegas after having spent the last eight seasons overall with the Utah volleyball program and the last five as its associate head coach. She helped the Utes qualify for six-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Sweet 16's and three consecutive third-place finishes in the Pac-12 Conference.
"With our program at UNLV coming off of a Mountain West regular-season championship and another trip to the NCAA Tournament, we were looking for someone who knows how to win at a high level and can further the trajectory of the success that has been established," Harper said. "It was evident throughout our search process that Coach Shoji shares in our overall approach of student-athlete development and has the experience that we were looking for to lead our program forward."
