Mosher named women's volleyball head coach
(Sept. 8th, 2009) Memorial University Athletics has announced
that Mr. Terry Mosher, a former Sea~Hawk and the 2001 Volleyball
Canada Coach of the Year, will take over the reins of the Memorial
women’s volleyball program for the 2009-10 season.
Mosher is eager to get his team on the court. He said, “I am
really looking forward to the season. We will have a young team but
we will be very competitive.” Mosher has coached a few of the
current Sea~Hawks in the past. He said, “We have talented
athletes. There is no question that we should make the playoffs.
The AUS is a tough conference but we can beat anyone.”
Michelle Healey, Memorial’s Director of Athletics, is excited
that a coach of Mosher’s ability will be leading the
women’s volleyball program. She said, “I’m
excited to have Terry move into the head coach role of our
women’s team. Terry brings an extensive successful coaching
background and has had great success coaching female teams in the
past. We have a great group of returning athletes, which will be
complemented by some solid incoming talent. That combined with
Terry’s leadership should be the foundation for a successful
season.”
Mosher was named the Volleyball Canada coach of the year in 2001
and has been a successful coach in Newfoundland for several years.
He is a four time recipient of the Newfoundland and Labrador
Volleyball Association (NLVA) coach of the year award (1996, 1998,
2000, 2003). He is a former standout with the Memorial men’s
volleyball program and is a 1976 Athletic Honour Society
inductee.
