MANKATO, Minn. – Minnesota State officials have announced today they have reached an agreement on a contract extension with volleyball head coach Corey Phelps effective July 1.
 
“We look forward to furthering Corey’s leadership of the Maverick volleyball program,” said Director of Athletics Kevin Buisman. “As NSIC members, we play in one of the country’s premier volleyball conferences and are steadily making progress in our goal to compete alongside the best teams in our league. I have confidence in Corey’s ability to continue guiding us in that direction.”
 
“I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to continue building the Maverick Volleyball program,” Phelps said. “I want to thank Kevin Buisman and President Inch for believing in the direction the team is headed. Leading this program is a privilege that I don’t take for granted. There is no place I’d rather be. Go Mavs!”
 
Phelps has guided the Minnesota State volleyball program for four seasons. Since 2021, Phelps has won 42 matches, including 33 wins over NSIC opponents. He has coached 32 NSIC All-Academic Team members, seven Myles Brand Award winners, eight CSC Academic All-District players and three All-Conference athletes.
 
Phelps has overseen marked improvement on the court over the past two campaigns. In 2023, the Mavericks more than doubled their win total from the previous year to go 14-12 overall. Last season, the Mavericks finished 18-9 overall and qualified for the NSIC Tournament for the first time since 2018.
 
The season was highlighted by wins against No. 20 Minnesota Duluth on the road and No. 10 Southwest Minnesota State at home. The team fell to perennial power Concordia-St. Paul in the NSIC quarterfinals 3-1.
 

Minnesota State volleyball opens its 2025 regular season schedule with four matches at the Missouri S&T Tournament Sept. 4-6.
