WATERBURY, Conn.-Post University Director of Athletics Anthony Fallacaro announced the hiring of Allison Kascak as an assistant women's volleyball coach. Kascak will aide Head Coach Mike Brienza in his first season as the Eagle volleyball mentor this year.

"Allison is going to bring some setting experience and collegiate playing experience at Western Connecticut State to the table," Brienza said. "She was also a player for me, so she knows my coaching style and philosophy and will be able to use that experience in helping our players here get better."

Kascak will be involved in all facets of the volleyball program at Post, including practice and game preparation, recruiting, and the day-to-day administration of the program.

She comes to Post with experience as both the scholastic and club level. She was an assistant varsity and head junior varsity coach at Fairfield-Ludlowe High School, and a coach and site supervisor for the Connecticut Junior Volleyball Association at the Connecticut Sports Center.

At Ludlowe, Kascak helped direct the volleyball program, assisting with the varsity program, and guiding the JV team. She also developed the Fairfield-Ludlowe volleyball day camp for girls.

With the Connecticut Sports Center, she was responsible for running practices, clinics, camps, and private lessons for both the boys and girls volleyball programs.

She graduated from Western Connecticut State University with a degree in psychology in 2006, and was a member of the volleyball program for two seasons. In that time, she was a part of two Division III NCAA Tournament teams.

Post begins the season on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at home against Southern New Hampshire University.
