MSU hires first ever beach volleyball coach

Missouri State didn’t have a beach volleyball team back when Del Conte played for the indoor team, but it does now, and Del Conte is going to be the Bears’ first beach volleyball coach.
“I played a lot when I was here,” Del Conte said. “It was more for fun, since (beach volleyball) wasn’t introduced yet.”
Beach volleyball will become an official sport at Missouri State starting July 1. It takes the place of field hockey, which will be discontinued at the end of the current fiscal year.
