MANKATO, Minn.—Bethany Lutheran College named Sue Forrey as its Head Volleyball Coach effective immediately, replacing Mike Walters who resigned last week due to a promotion at his full time job.
An assistant with Bethany last season, Forrey has numerous years of head coaching experience. From 2002-08 Forrey served as head coach and director of the Eagles Junior Olympic program in Mankato, Minn., where she built the organization from one team to five in her six-year tenure. Before joining Bethany, Forrey coached three seasons of high school volleyball from 2006-08 at Mankato Loyola Catholic School. She is also a member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
“I know that Sue Forrey understands the mission and focus of Bethany and gives our volleyball program the best chance for success going into the future,” Bethany Athletic Director Karl Fager said. “She has been working hard on the recruiting trail and with this promotion should be able to solidify some of the area volleyball players she has been talking to.”
