HIRAM, Ohio (pacathletics.org) - Hiram Athletics announced the promotion of Macy Roell to interim head coach of the Terriers women's volleyball program on Friday. Roell served as an assistant coach with the program in 2024, which saw the team finish with its 24th straight NCAC Tournament berth and a number of notable results against PAC opponents ahead of the program's return to that conference.

"I am pleased to announce the promotion of Coach Roell for this fall season," said Scott Pohlman, Hiram's Director of Athletics. "I believe that she possesses the necessary tools to move this program forward, not only in the classroom but on the court as well."

Roell served an integral role leading Hiram throughout the 2024-25 academic year, assisting both on the court and in the program's day-to-day operations in the offseason. Alongside former head coach Brittany Dye, Roell helped the team to a 5-3 record against PAC opponents in 2024, which included a five-set loss to the eventual conference champion, Allegheny. Roell also worked extensively with All-NCAC selections in Cate Maguire and Emily Richardson.

"I am very excited to step into this role and continue being part of such a great program," Roell said. "The women's volleyball program at Hiram has a strong tradition of success, and as we enter the PAC this season, my goal is to build on that foundation while setting the stage for future accomplishments. We have an excellent group of returners and a talented incoming class of first years. I can't wait to get started. Go Terriers!"

Prior to Hiram College, Roell had a four-year playing career at the University of Rio Grande (NAIA | Rio Grande, Ohio). She started all four years as a setter and hitter for the Red Storm, which included three seasons as the team captain and three scholar-athlete awards.

Originally from Farmersville, Ohio, Roell earned her bachelor's degree in business management and also minored in marketing and banking. She began her volleyball career at Valley View High School in Germantown, Ohio.

Hiram women's volleyball will report to campus in mid-August before opening the 2025 campaign at the Cedar Point Invitational on Friday, August 29 against Kalamazoo and Kenyon in Sandusky, Ohio.
