Michael Marks returns to the Albright bench as an assistant coach for the 2011 season. After serving as the interim coach in 2010, Marks will assist newly appointed head coach Jeremy Wright this fall. This upcoming season will be Marks third as an assistant coach at Albright.
As the interim coach, Marks led Albright to a 10-16 record overall and a 3-4 record in the Commonwealth Conference. Under his guidance senior Danielle Ozment '11 earned second team all-conference honors and was named MAC Volleyball Scholar Athlete of the Year. Setter Lauren Higgins '11 also set the career assists record with Marks as her head coach.
In his two season as an assistant Marks played a crucial part in helping the Lions to one of the biggest turn-arounds in program history. After posting just five wins in 2008, Marks helped the Lady Lions become a 15 wins team just a year later.
