Heading The College of Wooster volleyball program is Sarah Davis. The second-year coach is aiming to maintain its reputation as one of the top annual contenders in the North Coast Athletic Conference. During 2007, she took over a team lacking in depth, but the Fighting Scots came together and actually moved up two spots to third-place in the league standings (10-4) while producing an overall winning record of 15-14 against a challenging schedule.

Davis, who also serves as an assistant softball coach for Wooster, came to the area following a three-year stint as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Wis.-La Crosse, a member of the highly-competitive Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. There, she helped guide the Eagles to a 75-24 mark (.758), highlighted by advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2004 NCAA Div. III Tournament and a final ranking of No. 9 in the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association national poll that year.

Prior to that, Davis spent two seasons in the NCAC as a member of the staff at Earlham College, first as an assistant coach during 2002 and then as interim head coach of the Quakers for the 2003 campaign.

Additionally, Davis was the head coach of an Athletes in Action volleyball team that toured Latin America in June 2003 and led service projects to rural Appalachia during the summers of 2000-03.

A native of Gilbert, Iowa, outside of Ames, the former Sarah Edwards was a multi-sport athlete at Luther College, playing volleyball and softball for four seasons and participating on the indoor track team two years. She was a four-year starter in softball and the recipient of the volleyball team’s Spirit Award twice. Davis earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Luther (2000) and a master’s degree in exercise sports science from Wis.-LaCrosse (2006).

Personally, she is married to Wes Davis, an assistant men’s soccer coach at Oberlin College, also an NCAC member school.
