Coach Matt Troy

Matt Troy is the Women's Head Volleyball Coach at Johns Hopkins University.

2021 marks head coach Matt Troy's fifth season as the head man of the Blue Jay volleyball program. After previously coaching the Blue Jays from 2010-12, Troy returned to Homewood prior to the 2019 season after being hired on January 30, 2019.
In his first year back at the helm of the Johns Hopkins volleyball program, Matt Troy took the Blue Jays to a height never before seen in school history. Troy's Blue Jays accomplished one of the most impressive seasons in Division III history, becoming one of just three teams to ever cap an undefeated season with a National Championship (35-0).

The national title was the program's first, and they did so in nearly flawless fashion. The Jays dropped just one set (Semifinal vs. Trinity (Tx.)) throughout their run in the NCAA Tournament. In fact, the dropped set against Trinity (Tx.) snapped a 40-set unbeaten streak that stretched from October 17 - November 22.

The 2019 Blue Jay volleyball team featured the first two AVCA First Team All-Americans in program history (Natalie Aston (Jr., Setter) and Simone Bliss (Jr., Outside Hitter)). Additionally, Aston was named the AVCA Mid-Atlantic Player of the Year, the first such honor in Hopkins volleyball history. Troy also took home AVCA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year honors, another first for JHU.

Hopkins' current 35-match winning streak broke the Centennial Conference record for the longest unbeaten streak in conference volleyball history, and is tied for the 10th-longest in Division III history. The Jays also surpassed the 2004 JHU baseball team's 33-game unbeaten streak for the longest winning streak in Hopkins athletic history.

Matt Troy was named the head volleyball coach at Johns Hopkins on January 30, 2019, marking his second stint as the head coach at Johns Hopkins after previously serving in the position from 2010-12. He then spent six seasons as the head coach at Mary Washington before returning to Homewood.

Troy posted a 133-57 record at Mary Washington and led the Eagles to three trips to the NCAA Tournament and one Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) title. His 2016 team posted a 31-4 record, claimed the program’s first CAC championship since 1991 and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals. He also guided Mary Washington to the NCAA Tournament in 2015 (first round) and 2018 (second round) and the Eagles won at least 20 matches four times in his six seasons.

During his first tenure at Johns Hopkins, Troy quickly turned a solid Blue Jay program into a Centennial Conference power. He compiled an overall record of 73-21 (.777), including a 54-9 (.857) mark in his final two seasons. Johns Hopkins posted a 27-3 (.900) record in Centennial Conference regular season action and claimed the first two Centennial titles in school history (2011, 2012). The Blue Jays made the program’s first two appearances in the NCAA Tournament under Troy’s direction in 2011 and 2012 and the 29 wins the 2012 team amassed remain a school single-season record.

Collectively, Troy has now earned six Coach of the Year honors with two selections from the Centennial Conference (2011, 2019), two from the CAC (2016, 2018), and a pair of AVCA Region Coach of the Year honors. He was also the 2016 AVCA North Region Coach of the Year.

Previously at Johns Hopkins, Troy coached eight players who earned All-Centennial Conference honors and the 2012 Centennial Player and Rookie of the Year. He also coached three AVCA All-Americans, three AVCA All-Region players, the 2012 AVCA Regional Rookie of the Year and four CoSIDA Academic All-District selections.

Troy graduated from West Virginia University in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and health. In 2009, he completed his master's from West Virginia in athletic coaching education.

Troy and his wife, Melissa, have four daughters: Alexis, Kamryn, Emily and Brooke.
