6-9-06
 CALDWELL, N.J. – Caldwell College Executive Director of Athletics Mark A.
Corino has selected Megan Hrbek to coach women's volleyball, which
will begin intercollegiate play in the fall of 2006. Hrbek will lead the
Cougars' volleyball program that will compete in the Central Atlantic
Collegiate Conference at the NCAA Division II level.
"We are elated to have Megan build our volleyball program at Caldwell
College," Corino said. "Her enthusiasm for the sport, combined with her
background as a coach and player, will go a long way toward making
Cougar volleyball a successful program."
Hrbek comes to Caldwell after serving as a coach at Premier Volleyball Club in
Maumee, Ohio, since 2004. She was named the club's Coach of the Year in 2005.
This past year, she served as the Tournament Director and Officials
Coordinator for Premier, one of the largest volleyball clubs in the Ohio
Valley Region. Last fall, Hrbek served as a volunteer assistant coach at the
University of Toledo during 2005 season. She also was a volunteer assistant at
Bowling Green State University in 2004.
A native of Madison, Ohio, Hrbek was a four-year starter at Elmira (N.Y.) College
from 1999 to 2002. Playing libero, Hrbek helped the Soaring Eagles reach the
second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1999 and 2000, and capture
the Empire 8 Conference crown in 2000 and the ECAC North Division title in
2001. She also was the team's captain during her junior and senior seasons.
Hrbek graduated summa cum laude from Elmira College in 2003 with a degree in
mathematics. She also holds a Master's degree in sports administration from
Bowling Green State.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity for myself as well as for Caldwell
College starting a new program," Hrbek said. "I think this is a great
opportunity to be successful and I'm ready to get started. I'm looking forward
to being a part of the Caldwell College community."
Caldwell College now has 11 intercollegiate sports with the addition of
volleyball, which is being reinstated at the College after it was discontinued
in 1991 after three seasons of competition. All 11 sports compete at the NCAA
Division II level.
