NORMAL – Highly successful Illinois State volleyball coach Leah Johnson has signed a five-year contract extension that will keep her on the Redbirds bench through 2027.
“Leah has built a powerhouse program that continues to push boundaries and strive for more with each championship,” ISU director of athletics Kyle Brennan said. “We are grateful to have her at the helm of Illinois State volleyball and can’t wait to watch her win more championships as a Redbird.”
Taking the ISU reins in 2017, Johnson has led the Redbirds to a 104-53 record. ISU has made five postseason appearances, including the current streak of four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths that had not been accomplished since 1982-85.
