    Carter Cassell returns for his seventh season as Denison University's Head Volleyball Coach in 2023. In his five full seasons with the Big Red, Denison has won 76 matches and has advanced to the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament in all five seasons.

    The Big Red finished the 2022 season 13-13 overall, won each of their first five conference matches of the season without dropping a set, and were the only team from the NCAC to take a set off of Wittenberg. Following a second-place finish in the NCAC regular-season standings (6-1), Denison was honored with four All-NCAC selections while senior middle blocker Lucy Anderson was named the NCAC Player of the Year for the second season in a row and senior libero Jenna Corrao was named the NCAC Libero of the Year. Anderson then went on to become the first back-to-back All-Region selection in Big Red volleyball history, and one year after becoming the first All-American in the history of the Denison volleyball program, she was selected as a back-to-back Third-Team All-American by the AVCA.

    2021 was a historic season for Denison volleyball as the Big Red captured the program's first-ever NCAC Championship with a perfect record of 8-0 in conference play and a mark of 19-7 overall. Junior middle hitter Lucy Anderson (Third-Team) and freshman outside hitter Daria Rodriguez (Honorable Mention) became the first two NCAA All-Americans in the history of the Denison volleyball program while Anderson was also the first Big Red volleyball player to be named NCAC Player of the Year. Rodriguez, meanwhile, was the first Denison volleyball player to earn Region Freshman of the Year and was the third in a row to win NCAC Newcomer of the Year. Additionally, Coach Cassell was named NCAC Coach of the Year for the second time in a row.

    The Big Red's 2020 Fall season was canceled due to COVID-19 Pandemic. Cassell's team did play in six matches in the spring and Denison went 2-4.

    In 2019, Cassell and the Big Red enjoyed a breakthrough season where DU posted an overall record of 18-8 while reaching the NCAC Tournament championship match. Cassell was also named the NCAC Coach of the Year for the first time in his career while Lucy Anderson was named NCAC Newcomer of the Year and First-Team All-NCAC. Denison also turned in a 10-match winning streak from Sept. 14-Oct. 8, which is the longest winning streak in program history since 1993.

    In 2017, Denison finished with a 15-14 record and advanced to the NCAC Tournament semifinals before being eliminated by top-seeded Wittenberg. Kristin Thewes and Leah Reinfranck received All-NCAC accolades, with Thewes receiving the Libero of the Year award. In 2018 the Big Red finished 11-15 but ended the campaign in strong fashion, winning four of its last six matches. First-year Peyton McElfresh was named the NCAC's Newcomer of the Year and was also a Second-Team All-NCAC selection in addition to being named to the NCAC All-Tournament Team.

    Cassell came to Denison after three seasons as an assistant coach at Kenyon College. Cassell joined the coaching staff at Kenyon in 2014 along with new head coaching hire, Amanda Krampf. The new staff was charged with rebuilding the Kenyon program and Cassell was heavily involved in all aspects of planning practices, organizing the team’s strength and conditioning to scouting and recruiting. In years two and three, Kenyon posted consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 1989-90. In 2016, Kenyon finished 18-12 placing third in the NCAC regular-season standings. Outside hitter Delaney Swanson was named to the All-NCAC first-team and two players earned honorable mention.

    In addition to his assistant coaching duties at Kenyon, he also served in various game management roles and was a building manager for the Kenyon Athletic Center.

    Cassell is a 2014 graduate of The Ohio State University where he received a B.S. in education while majoring in sports industry and minoring in business. In the summer of 2018, Cassell completed his master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia University-Irvine.

    After a standout prep career which saw him be named the 2010 Ohio Boys Volleyball Player of the Year and a Second-Team AVCA High School All-American, Cassell attended Lewis University in 2011 where he was a member of their NCAA Division I men’s volleyball team. He transferred to Ohio State the following year and was a member of the Buckeyes’ nationally-ranked club volleyball team. In 2013, he was named the Big Ten Men’s Volleyball Association Player of the Year.

    Cassell is the seventh head volleyball coach in Denison history and is now ranked third in program history in wins.

    A 2016 Hiram graduate, Miracle left as the only player in program history to be named to the AVCA All-American team in consecutive seasons.

    In her senior season at Hiram, she posted a career-high 462 kills and became the seventh player in program history to total 1,000 career kills. A four-year starter, Miracle boasts a career hitting percentage of .270 with 1,323 kills and 202 blocks.

Corrao was a two-time All-NCAC honoree ('22: first-team; '21: second-team) who also earned a spot on the NCAC All-Tournament team in both 2021 and 2022 as well. As a senior, Corrao paced the NCAC in both total digs (491) and digs per set (4.81) while ranking second with 49 service aces.

    In addition to her achievements on the court, Corrao was also a standout student-athlete in the classroom.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
