Gannon University women’s lacrosse head coach Jenny Pawlowski has been elected to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Board of Directors. Her term as a Division II Representative will officially begin on July 1, 2025.

Pawlowski, who has been leading the Golden Knights since 2020, was elected through a special vote to serve a two-year term on the IWLCA Board of Directors. She was appointed to the Board in August 2024 to fill an unexpected vacancy and has served in that role for the past year. With her formal election, she will continue her service on the Board through 2027.

Under Pawlowski’s leadership, the Gannon women’s lacrosse program has shown significant growth and success. She has guided seven Golden Knights to All-PSAC honors, including Makenna Woodworth, Macy Hepditch (Waterloo, Ontario/Resurrection Catholic), Caroline Stevens (Syracuse, N.Y./Liverpool), Brooke Hepditch, Haleigh Manning (Milton, Ga./Cambridge), and Alexandra Kehrig (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport), all of whom received second team recognition. In 2025, junior midfielder Charlie Hunter (Boston, N.Y./Hamburg) became Pawlowski’s first player to be selected for the All-PSAC West first team.

As a key member of the Gannon athletics community over the past five years, Pawlowski brings valuable coaching and administrative experience to the IWLCA Board, helping to shape the future of collegiate women’s lacrosse at all levels.

“I am looking forward to continuing to serve on the IWLCA Board of Directors for Division II,” Pawlowski said. “I hope to promote and support the sport of women’s lacrosse for our division and for the college athletics landscape as a whole.”

IWLCA President Kelly Gallagher announced Pawlowski’s election as part of the 2025 Board of Directors election results. The IWLCA Board includes representatives from all three NCAA divisions and the NAIA, as well as leadership focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Pawlowski will continue her work with the Board while leading the Golden Knights into the 2025-26 season.

Kalamazoo College announced the hiring of Andi Phelps as its new head volleyball coach on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

Phelps, who joined the Hornets as an assistant coach in January, was selected to lead the program following a national search.

“After a thorough search process, I’m thrilled to announce the promotion of Andi Phelps to head volleyball coach,” said Jamie Zorbo, Director of Athletics. “In a short time, Andi has earned the respect of our student-athletes and staff through her work ethic, volleyball knowledge and natural leadership. Along with a very impressive volleyball pedigree, she brings a clear vision for what it takes to build a successful program and a deep passion for Kalamazoo College. I’m excited to support her in this next step and confident she will do an outstanding job leading and elevating our volleyball program for years to come.”

A standout at Western Michigan University, Phelps enjoyed a highly successful five-year collegiate career, starting as an outside hitter before transitioning to libero. She was named an Honorable Mention All-American by VolleyballMag.com, earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors twice, and was a two-time All-MAC First Team selection. She helped lead the Broncos to a MAC regular season title in 2023 and back-to-back conference tournament championships in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, she was named to the AVCA North All-Region First Team and became just the fourth player in WMU history to surpass 2,000 career digs.

Off the court, Phelps was a four-time Academic All-MAC honoree and a three-time College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District selection.

In addition to her collegiate playing career and assistant coaching role at Kalamazoo, Phelps has coached the 14U state team at Dead Frog Volleyball Club, the Kalamazoo Cougars Homeschool team, and served as an instructor at several WMU volleyball camps.

“I’m incredibly excited and honored to step into the role of head coach for the Kalamazoo College volleyball program,” Phelps said. “It’s a privilege to lead a group of student-athletes who are passionate and committed to growing both on and off the court. My goal is to foster an environment where our players feel supported, challenged, and empowered in their development as athletes and as individuals. I can’t wait to get started and see what we can accomplish together.”

A native of Schoolcraft, Michigan, Phelps finished her high school career as the program’s all-time leader in both kills and digs. She was a three-time First Team All-State selection, a four-time First Team All-Region and All-Conference honoree, and was named runner-up for Michigan’s Miss Volleyball award in 2019.

Phelps holds a bachelor’s degree in sport management from Western Michigan University with a minor in American Sign Language.

About Hayward Field

Hayward Field, which was built in 1919, is no stranger to top-tier track and field events, including the Diamond League and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

The venue is named after Bill Hayward, who ran the University of Oregon track and field program from 1904 to 1947. Though it originally was intended for Ducks football, many additions and renovations over the century have helped it become a premier destination.

In September 2023, the venue became the first facility outside of Zurich or Brussels to host the two-day season-ending Wanda Diamond League Final, where the year’s 32 overall champions were crowned.
