For Capital University head volleyball coach Pam Briggs, 13 is a good number.

In 2005, Briggs led the Crusaders to the their most ever wins in school history with 32 while winning Capital's first ever OAC Tournament and also made their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. 

In 2006, Briggs enters her 17th year at Capital and 14th as head coach as the winningest coach in school history and has built the Crusaders into a perennial top team in the Ohio Athletic Conference and the region.  In each of the last three seasons her teams have finished either first or second in the OAC and  have advanced to the OAC Tournament in all but one season since she took over as head coach in 1993.  Three times in her career she has earned 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).

Along with her volleyball coaching duties at Capital, Briggs also serves as the head women’s golf coach and an instructor for the health and sports science department.
