Sean Drexl just completed his first season as an assistant coach with the Presbyterian College volleyball program in the fall of 2022 after joining the Blue Hose in February of 2022.
"I'm very excited to have Sean join this program! He was highly recommended by a colleague of mine, and after our first conversation I could feel his passion for the game and for coaching", said coach Burgess. "He will help in all facets of the game and primarily work with our outside hitters and passers."
In 2022, PC earned a pair of Freshman of the Week’s for Anna Baranski and a Player of the Week for Kasey Battle. Anna Hewitt became the sixth player in the Blue Hose DI era to eclipse 1,000 digs. Rylee Moorhead earned All-Big South Honorable Mention and Paige Cairns earned her second straight All-Academic Team Award.
