ACU to part ways with head volleyball coach Angela Mooney

November 30, 2021 by Kauy Ostlien

ACU parted ways with head volleyball coach Angela Mooney Monday afternoon via a press release from ACU athletics.

Mooney was named the ninth head volleyball coach in ACU history in 2017. In those past five seasons, her teams have managed a 49-76 record and four conference tournament appearances.

This past season showed similar results to her past seasons with the Wildcats finishing with a 9-15 record, and a first round WAC tournament loss to the Sam Houston Bearkats. The high point of the season came Nov. 4 in three sets to one victory against the then top team in the WAC, Sam Houston.

Per the press release, the search for a replacement will be led by the new vice president of athletics Zack Lassiter.

This will be the tenth volleyball coach the university has hired in recent history.

This is a developing story.
