App State swept in home finale, announces coaching change

The Mountaineer volleyball team hosted Coastal Carolina in their home finale, losing the match in three straight sets.

The team went under a drastic change earlier in the week as former head coach Matt Ginipro announced his resignation. Ginipro coached the team from 2007-21 and led the Mountaineers to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship in 2018.

“After 15 years with Appalachian State Volleyball, I have made the decision to step away from the program to pursue other volleyball and non-volleyball opportunities,” said Ginipro to appstatesports.
