Savannah Siegrist '18 assumed the role of assistant coach for the Jacksonville Beach Volleyball program in January 2024.
“We're excited to get Savannah back on campus in her new role this year. Savannah was an excellent addition to the roster as a player and I know she will do a tremendous job as a coach, as well. Savannah is coming off of a great season down at Webber with their men’s program, and we’re grateful to have her around to share some of her experiences with our current student-athletes.”
Siegrist assumes the role of assistant coach under Head Coach Dylan Hough, who is entering his fourth season as the leader of the program. The Davidsonville, Maryland native played her freshman season with JU, where she led the Dolphins with the most wins as part of the #1 pairing. She notched notable wins against ranked opponents North Florida and South Carolina. Siegrist then transferred to Oregon, where she graduated and played for three years, totaling 29 wins. She received her Bachelor's and master’s degrees in Sports Business from Oregon.
Siegrist has been coaching beach volleyball since 2016 for clubs, including South River Volleyball Club, Grit Volleyball, Dynamic Volleyball Academy, Oregon Sand Volleyball, and Sandsharks Beach Volleyball. Siegrist was involved in the first years of USAV Beach High Performance, including playing for the A2 National and the Chesapeake Region (CHRVA) team, and coaching the development team for CHRVA. Siegrist was recently the Head Men’s Beach Volleyball Coach at Weber International, where she led the team to a 3rd place finish at the AVCA Men's National Championship this past fall.
“JU has always held a special place in my heart, so I am honored to be joining Dylan this spring,” Siegrist stated. “I’m very excited to get to work with this talented group of women! Phins Up!”
Siegrist will join a staff that is ecstatic about continuing to grow the program. The Dolphins look to build upon the last two seasons, which were the winningest seasons in JU history, with 10 wins in 2022 and 13 wins in 2023.
