OAC Coach of the Year honors and was named the top coach in the Great Lakes
Region by the AVCA after last year's historic season.
Aside from team success, Briggs has coached some of the OAC's best-ever players
as her program has had the OAC Player of the Year four times and the OAC
Freshman of the Year twice. Her teams have been equally as impressive in
the classroom winning numerous Academic All-OAC, Academic All-District and
Academic All-American honors with two players being named national Academic
All-American of the Year.The Reynoldsburg, Ohio native, Briggs was a four-year letter winner and team
captain of the Kent State University volleyball squad. Following her playing
career at KSU, Briggs spent two seasons as an assistant volleyball coach at
Reynoldsburg High School (1987-88) and three seasons as an assistant at
Capital (1989-92).
