PULLMAN (Aug. 19, 2022) – Washington State University Director of Athletics Pat Chun announced Friday that Women’s Volleyball Head Coach Jen Greeny has signed a contract extension which will keep her in Pullman after the 2026 season. Her initial contract was set to expire after the 2022 season.
In 11 years since taking the reins of the very same program that she helped lead to three NCAA Tournament appearances on the court, Greeny has garnered two Pac-12 Coach of the Year awards from the sidelines while leading the Cougars to an unprecedented six-consecutive (and counting) NCAA postseason appearances.
“During her time leading Cougar Volleyball, Coach Greeny has established our program as a national contender annually,” said Chun. “She has proven to be one of the best coaches in our conference and the country. We are fortunate to have her guiding our program for many years to come.”
