McEndree Women Started Their Season With Tragedy—but Found Triumph

Published

8 months ago

May 7, 2025

Today, the McEndree University women’s water polo team kicks off the first game of the NCAA National Championship. McEndree’s inclusion would be big news on its own. It’s the first time they’ve ever made the NCAA tournament, which includes just nine teams across the U.S.—and typically few, if any, teams from the Midwest.

But this year, the private university in Lebanon, Illinois, about 30 minutes east of St. Louis, has even more reason to take pride in its season. The team lost its head coach in a fatal car crash in January, just as the season was getting underway—and they’ve been led in her absence by a 25-year-old in his first head coaching gig.

“It’s been an interesting year,” says Alex Figueras, who was only named the women’s head coach a few weeks ago after handling the job on an interim basis. “We had one of the lowest moments and some of the highest moments in the same season.”

Figueras is the first to credit Colleen Lischwe as the person responsible for McKendree’s success. Lischwe had twice been named Missouri Female Water Polo Player of the Year at Kirkwood High School before becoming an Academic All-American at Marist College in New York and twice participating in the NCAA National Championships.

After coaching at Kirkwood High, Lischwe landed a coaching job at McKendree, and after being named the women’s head coach in 2017, also became the head coach of the men’s team the following year—making her the only woman head coach in an NCAA water polo program.

Then tragedy struck. Lischwe was on I-44 around 6 a.m. on Jan. 15, 2025, when she was struck by a semi. Her Prius fell off the highway to Vandeventer Avenue below. Lischwe, 35, left behind a husband and a 3-year-old daughter.

She also left a team in mourning. Figueras, Lischwe’s young assistant coach, was among those devastated by her death; Lischwe had coached his club team for a half-dozen years before they became colleagues. Suddenly he found himself trying to fill her shoes as the team headed into its first game of the season, less than two weeks later.

He recalls a team meeting with a sports psychologist, who explained that, tempting though it was, they should try to resist focusing on “winning one for Colleen” or making all their efforts about her. “You don’t want this to be the only thing that’s driving you, because at a certain point, things are going to go back to normal, or whatever normal looks like,” Figueras recalls him explaining. “When that happens, then you lose your motivation.”

The very idea seemed shocking, he says. “When he brought that up, it seemed weird, because I was like, things are never going to be normal again, right?” But as winter turned to spring, and the team kept winning, it began to make more sense.

“It’s not to say that we’ve moved on, because I don’t think we ever really will,” Figueras adds. “Like, there’s that little unspoken bond that I think we’re always going to have with this group and that is always going to be that extra motivating factor, that we can hear her voice still pushing us.”

McKendree University's women's water polo team celebrates with its coaches. — McKendree University’s women’s water polo team notched a 21-7 record in its 2025 season.

For Figueras, Lischwe’s death brought responsibilities he wasn’t sure he was ready for. A graduate of Saint Louis Priory School, he’d gone from playing club sports to competing in college to returning back to St. Louis to finish his degree at Washington University, where he graduated with a double major in marketing and English. He soon fell into coaching.

“Most people, I think when they get into this world, they get in as an assistant, and then they start trying to work their way up to eventually go be an assistant at a top five program, or go be a head coach somewhere,” he says. “And that was never my goal. My goal was always I wanted to do it until it wasn’t fun anymore, and then I would get out of it.”

Guiding the team has given him new appreciation for the job. In April, McKendree won its conference championship for the first time; the team finished its season with a 21–7 record.

Says Figueras, “It’s been cool to develop these relationships, and that’s the part that I’m enjoying the most. I think I’m starting to find my way and figure it out.”

He’s gotten support from another person who knew Lischwe for years—his own dad, Miguel. A former college player for Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Miguel Figueras has spent the last 25 years coaching teams in the St. Louis area while teaching second grade for the Clayton School District. But this spring, McKendree offered him the head coach position for its men’s team—and so next year, father and son will be working together, father taking the lead with the men, son with the women.

Miguel Figueras says he’ll miss his job at Wilson Elementary School, but he jokes that his new duties won’t be all that different: “In a lot of ways, I’ll still be around seven and eight-year-olds when I’m working with college freshmen and sophomores!”

Miguel Figueras knows no one can fill Lischwe’s shoes, explaining that she did a great job of looking out for all her players, many of whom came from so far away to participate in McKendree’s program. “Colleen was always the force in making sure those kids were well taken care of,” he says.

But he’s also proud of his son. “They’ve just picked up right where Colleen left off,” he says of Alex and his assistant coach, 23-year-old Breno Tebet.

And despite not being quite old enough to parent the team, the fledgling head coach has found a way to mentor its athletes, his father says.

“It’s like he’s got 23 little sisters,” he explains. “He’s always been a very mature kid, but we’ve seen a lot of growth in him here.”

Both father and son were heading to Indianapolis yesterday for the tournament, and Alex Figueras was trying to set realistic expectations. They have a strong chance against Wagner College in the first round, he says, but Stanford is “like UConn women’s basketball” (read: not an easy foe).

He adds, “I don’t want to count ourselves out, but I think that definitely will be a challenge. But getting into this is a big deal for us, and we want to definitely not just be like, ‘Okay, we’re just happy to be here.’”

And no matter how this topsy-turvy year ends, there’s always next year. Alex Figueras will be back, and so will all but one player, he says. The graduating senior is a standout, but having so many players returning should give the coaches a lot to work with. The team Colleen Lischwe built should have plenty of victories to come, even when there’s a new roster of players who can no longer hear her voice pushing them.

Ryan Windisch promoted associate head coach Arizona Wildcats volleyball

Published

Your Sports Nation

Ryan Windisch gave up his role as a head coach at a lower level to join Rita Stubbs’ first staff when she assumed the top job for Arizona volleyball. The former Division I libero has proven to be indispensable to Stubbs in his three years on staff. He is being rewarded with a promotion to associate head coach.

“I am thrilled to announce Ryan’s promotion to Associate Head Coach,” Stubbs was quoted in Arizona’s press release. “He has been on my staff since the beginning and is extremely knowledgeable about the game of volleyball which has helped our program grow over the past three years. I am thankful to have him on staff and look forward to seeing him continue to grow with our program.”

Windisch has primarily handled the liberos and defensive specialists at Arizona. He was considered a de facto defensive coordinator when he was hired in 2022. However, the staff has been short one coach the last two years, so he has had to take on additional roles. In 2025, he added setters to his responsibilities after former assistant head coach Steven Duhoux took a job as an assistant coach with Ohio State men’s volleyball.

In addition to his role on the court, Windisch makes an impression on recruits. When asked about their reasons for choosing Arizona, commits and freshmen typically speak of him and Stubbs as a pair.

He helped lead the team to its first NCAA Tournament since 2018 and first tournament win since 2016 this season. Last season, he helped coach them to an NIVC championship and two 11-game winning streaks. The team ended with a 24-9 record.

This year, Windisch and assistant coach Simone Asque-Favia helped Stubbs coach the team to a 17-13 record that included 10 matches against ranked teams. The Wildcats won three of those matches, including sweeps over No. 16 Baylor and No. 13 TCU. They took one set in five more, including against No. 5 Stanford in the NCAA Tournament.

This year, Windisch’s professional accomplishments came after he and his wife Amber welcomed their first child at the beginning of the season.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 9, 2026) — USA Volleyball announced today that Rob Browning has been named an assistant coach for the U.S. Women’s National Team. Browning brings decades of experience at both the collegiate and international levels, adding valuable perspective as the program continues to compete at the highest level of the sport worldwide.

Browning most recently served as an assistant coach at NC State during the 2025 season. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as head coach at Saint Mary’s College of California, becoming the winningest coach in program history. Under his leadership, Saint Mary’s made five postseason appearances and captured its first West Coast Conference title in 2009. He also launched the school’s beach volleyball program in 2013, helping develop multiple West Coast Conference award winners.

“I’m honored to join the U.S. Women’s National Team staff and work with this outstanding group of athletes and coaches,” Browning said. “I’m excited to contribute and help the program continue to grow and succeed on the world stage.”

Internationally, Browning has spent six years as an assistant coach with the U.S. Men’s National Team, contributing to four Olympic cycles, including the gold medal run at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He has also worked with the U.S. Women’s National Team and U.S. Women’s Junior National Team, helping teams earn gold medals at the 2010 NORCECA Championship and the 2019 Pan Am Cup. Most recently, Browning served as team leader for the U.S. Women’s National Team this past summer.

“Rob’s experience and passion for the game make him a tremendous addition to our staff,” said Erik Sullivan, U.S. Women’s National Team head coach. “He has a proven history of developing athletes and building competitive programs, and we’re excited to welcome him as we prepare for the next phase of international competition.”

Browning succeeds Mike Wall, who has stepped away from the role to spend more time with his family. USA Volleyball thanks Mike for his dedication and contributions to the U.S. Women’s National Team.

The previous meet record was 3:49.07, set in 2021 by Duke, and the new time was two seconds shy of the App State indoor 4×400-meter program record (3:43.85, set in 2023). Individually, Adams and Talley clocked times of 24.39 and 24.77 to place third and fifth, respectively, in the seeded section of the women’s 200 meters.

With a leap of 12.14m (39′ 10″), fellow freshman Ashlynn Wimberly placed second in the women’s triple jump. With a clearance of 3.95m (12′ 11.5″), senior Ava Studney placed first in the women’s pole vault.

On the track, junior Kendall Johnson placed second in the women’s 60 meters with a time of 7.50, which was 0.08 shy of her personal best and App State school record of 7.42. Stopping the clock at 2:18.09, senior Addison Ollendick-Smith placed fourth in the women’s 800 meters. She was seven seconds shy of her personal best of 2:11.13, which she set last winter to move to second all-time in the App State record book.

Ranked Mountaineers

Heading into Saturday’s meet, six Mountaineers stand among the NCAA’s top-30. The women’s 4×400-meter relay squad of Wells, Alejandro-Ortiz, Talley, and Adams leads the Sun Belt and ranks fourth in the region as well as 19th nationally. Individually, Adams leads the Sun Belt, ranks eighth in the region, and stands 21st in the NCAA in the women’s 200 meters.

Leading the SBC in the women’s triple jump is Braxton, who also rounds out the region’s top-five and checks in at 23rd nationally in the category. Braxton also stands second in the league in the women’s long jump. Studney leads the conference and rounds out the region’s top-five and the nation’s top-30 in the women’s pole vault. Ollendick-Smith and sophomore Ella Battel take the SBC’s top two spots in the women’s 800 meters.

On Deck
