Mosher named Memorial head coach

ST. JOHN'S, NL - Memorial University Athletics has announced that Mr. Terry Mosher, a former Sea~Hawk and the 2001 Volleyball Canada Coach of the Year, will take over the reins of the Memorial women's volleyball program for the 2009-10 season.

Mosher is eager to get his team on the court. He said, "I am really looking forward to the season. We will have a young team but we will be very competitive." Mosher has coached a few of the current Sea~Hawks in the past. "We have talented athletes. There is no question that we should make the playoffs. The AUS is a tough conference but we can beat anyone."

Michelle Healey, Memorial's Director of Athletics, is excited that a coach of Mosher's ability will be leading the women's volleyball program. "I'm excited to have Terry move into the head coach role of our women's team. Terry brings an extensive successful coaching background and has had great success coaching female teams in the past. We have a great group of returning athletes, which will be complemented by some solid incoming talent. That combined with Terry's leadership should be the foundation for a successful season."

Mosher has been a successful coach in Newfoundland for several years. He is a four time recipient of the Newfoundland and Labrador Volleyball Association (NLVA) coach of the year award (1996, 1998, 2000, 2003). He is a former standout with the Memorial men's volleyball program and is a 1976 Athletic Honour Society inductee.
