Assumption University

Kazmierczak comes to Assumption after spending two seasons as head women's volleyball coach at Merrimack College. 

“I am humbled and honored to join the Assumption community as the next Head Women’s Volleyball Coach,” stated Kazmierczak. “I would like to thank Vice President for Enrollment Management William Boffi, Director of Athletics Eric Gobiel, and the entire search committee for trusting me to lead Assumption Volleyball into the future. It is wonderful to return to the NE-10 now as a coach and work towards bringing an NE10 Championship to Assumption. When I visited campus, it was evident that Assumption deeply cares about the student-athlete experience and that we share the same values. I’m excited to work with these talented, hard-working players in building this program.”
