RENO — Shannon Hunt has been named the 12th head coach of the Nevada volleyball program, University of Nevada Director of Athletics Stephanie Rempe announced Wednesday.
Hunt comes to Nevada from Washington State, where she served on the volleyball staff since 2011. Following a two-year stint as a volunteer coach, Hunt was promoted to her current role as assistant coach in 2013.
Hunt has helped engineer a major turnaround of the Washington State program over the past decade, culminating in the Cougars finishing 26-8 overall in 2023, the most wins for any team under head coach Jen Greeny, and 14-6 in Pac-12 play, tying the program record for single-season conference wins for the second-straight year.
“Shannon Hunt brings a championship resume at every level of her coaching and playing career. From the start of this national search, we knew she was the right fit to lead Nevada Volleyball,” said Rempe. “Her work in helping rebuild Washington State into a national contender speaks volumes for what she will bring to Nevada. Shannon is familiar with the area, knows the importance of a strong relationship with our campus and our community, and is dedicated to building a winning culture. She is ready to immerse herself in northern Nevada and I am excited for Shannon to join the Wolf Pack.”
