Lauer Resigns as Volleyball Coach

ST. LOUIS, MO. – University of Missouri-St. Louis athletics director John Garvilla announced Tuesday that Josh Lauer has resigned as the Tritons’ head volleyball coach to take a position as the top assistant coach at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa).

Lauer recently completed his fourth year as head coach of the UMSL program, where he produced a 40-76 record, including a 14-19 record this past season and a second straight bid to the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Tournament. The team also recorded a 10-9 GLVC mark, finishing third in the West Division, its highest finish since the 2000 season.

“Josh has done an extraordinary job of developing a volleyball program that is competitive and produces high quality student-athletes,” said Garvilla. “He has been a great ambassador for UMSL athletics and for this university and we wish him and his family all the best in the future.”

Lauer began his career at UMSL as the interim coach during the 2004 season and guided the Tritons to a 9-17 record. Following that season, he had the interim tag removed and was named the sixth head coach in UMSL history. During that season, Lauer brought in a full recruiting class of young players and led the team to a 6-22 record, narrowly missing a bid to the GLVC tournament. In 2006, he guided the squad to an 11-18 record and a berth in the GLVC Tournament for the first time in three years.

“I'm excited about the direction UMSL volleyball is headed,” said Lauer. “It is a special group of players that will continue to be very successful. Their dedication made my decision to leave very difficult.

“I am thankful for all the support that UMSL has given me and my family over the course of my tenure as the head volleyball coach. I am especially thankful to Pat Dolan for taking a chance on me as a young coach, and John Garvilla for being a tremendous friend and mentor as our program has matured and makes plans for continued future success.”

UMSL will begin a national search immediately for a new head coach.
