Mary Clare Coghlan enters her second full season as Navy's lead assistant coach. A 2005 graduate of Towson, Coghlan was the starting setter for the Tigers during her junior and senior seasons. She tallied 3,078 assists and 144 service aces in her career to rank fourth and sixth, respectively, in Towson history. She garnered First-Team All-Colonial Athletic Association accolades as a junior and senior, while also earning league setter-of-the-year accolades during both of those campaigns. Coghlan helped the Tigers win the program's first CAA title and advance to their initial NCAA Tournament in 2004. Additionally, the native of Northridge, Calif., who played at Tennessee as a freshman, was named as the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year for volleyball as a junior, earned CoSIDA Academic All-District II honors during her final two seasons, and was tabbed as Towson's Female Athlete of the Year in 2003. Following graduation she played professionally in Germany and Spain before arriving at Navy in January of 2007 and beginning her duties with the physical education department and with the volleyball team. She resumed her playing career by competing on the All-Navy team in both 2007 and `08. This past spring she helped Navy win the gold medal and was selected to compete on the U.S. squad at the All-Armed Forces Tournament in Germany. |
