WASHINGTON, DC (Mar. 13) - Amy Bambenek has been named as Assistant Coach for the George Washington University volleyball program, GW head coach Jojit Coronel announced. Bambenek succeeds Coronel who was promoted last August.
Bambenek comes to GW from Florida State University where she has served as a Seminoles’ assistant coach for the past three seasons. At Florida State, she was responsible for recruiting correspondence and off-campus evaluations. She coordinated team travel, game day operations, tournament scheduling and on-court skill development. FSU posted a combined three-year record of 54-45 (.545) during Bambenek’s three seasons in Tallahassee. In her first season on the FSU staff, the Seminoles won the ACC Tournament champions and earned an automatic bid to the 1998 NCAA Tournament.
The Chillicothe, OH, native also has been a camp administrator at summer volleyball camps at Florida State.
A 1998 graduate of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, SC, with a bachelor of arts degree in business management, Bambenek was a four-year starter who helped lead the team to the Big South Conference title and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1996. She is Coastal Carolina’s all-time leader in career kills, attacks and digs.
The GW volleyball team, 25-6 last season, won the 2000 Atlantic 10 championship and advanced to the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Lincoln, NE. The Colonials are coming off the program’s best season since 1994.
