Sarah Riedell joined Michael Hobson's inaugural staff as an assistant beach volleyball coach, Aug 2024.
Riedell comes to Clarksville after an illustrious four-year career in the sand for Coastal Carolina, where she was a Second Team All-Sun Belt selection last season, as well as being a two-time Sun Belt Championship All-Tournament Team honoree.
The Greensboro, North Carolina native posted a .500-or-better winning percentage each season for the Chanticleers, finishing her collegiate with a 73-61 record, including 51 victories from the No. 1 position.
Riedell went 15-12 while exclusively playing on the No. 3 court during her freshman season. That season, she also earned her first of two President’s List honorees after posting a 4.0 GPA in the fall 2020 semester and was named to the 2020-21 ASUN Academic Honor Roll.
The following season, Riedell went 17-17 while splitting time between the No. 1 and No. 2 flights, including winning 10 matches from the top position.
As a junior, she went 20-18 from the top court, which was best for third on the team in wins. She also went 3-2 for the Chanticleers in the Sun Belt Championship to earn All-Tournament honors.
During her final collegiate season, Riedell went 21-14 from the No. 1 flight, winning 15-of-17 between March 2-30, to earn All-Sun Belt Conference honors. She again went 3-2 in the Coastal Carolina’s postseason run, helping lead the Chanticleers to their second-straight Sun Belt Championship match appearance.
