West Virginia University announced volleyball coach Reed Sunahara is resigning after nine seasons with the program, they announced on Wednesday.
Sunahara has been in the top position with WVU since 2015, and finished 2023 with a 9-21 record. The Mountaineers made the postseason for the first time under his leadership in 2021. In his career at WVU, Sunahara had a 106-156 record, going 32-114 in Big 12 play.
“I want to thank all the student-athletes and coaches that have been in our program during the past nine years for their commitment and dedication,” Sunahara said. “Together, we have enjoyed some great memories, and it was an honor to lead West Virginia Volleyball to it’s first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. I want this program to succeed, and I wish it nothing but the best moving forward.”
West Virginia University Director of Athletics Wren Baker announced WVU will begin a national search immediately to find the fifth volleyball coach in program history.
“I want to thank Reed for his contributions to our volleyball program and wish him nothing but the best in his next endeavor,” Baker said. “While we will move swiftly, we will also do our due diligence to bring our volleyball student-athletes the right leader to move our program forward.”
