PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania’s head volleyball coach, Meredith Schamun, has announced her resignation from the position.
 
Schamun will be moving to the University of Illinois, where she will be Associate Head Coach for the Fighting Illini.

“I was not actively searching for a new coaching position; I was excited for the upcoming season and especially the direction the program is heading,” said Schamun. “However, an opportunity has come my way that I believe is the right choice for me at this point in my career. I am grateful to for the opportunity I have coming up, to coach in the Big Ten at the University of Illinois.

 

“I am so grateful for the support of Penn Athletics throughout my time in University City, especially the support these last few years from (director of athletics) Alanna Wren and (volleyball sport administrator) Rachel Kuperinsky,” she continued. “I am especially proud of the women in this incredible program and what we have worked so hard to build together. This program has made great strides the last few seasons, and I know that the best is still ahead for this group of women.”

 

“Meredith has set the foundation for the future success of Penn volleyball,” said Wren, the T. Gibbs Kane, Jr. W’69 Director of Athletics and Recreation. “This past fall was the best season in more than a decade thanks to Meredith’s commitment to building culture, success in recruiting, and coaching acumen. We are sad to see her leave Penn but wish her the best of luck at Illinois. We are focused on finding the next leader to continue the positive momentum within Penn volleyball.”

 

Penn enters the 2025 season with all seven starters returning from a team that went 13-10 overall last year and 7-7 in Ivy League play, more than tripling their win totals from 2023 both overall and in Ivy play. The group includes three players who have received All-Ivy accolades during their career: senior libero Abigail Reid, junior hitter Zada Sanger, and sophomore middle Adell Murray.
