The UMBC Retrievers women's volleyball program represents the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in NCAA Division I women's volleyball.[3]
History
[edit]The team began play in 1973. On February 19, 2018, UMBC hired former Duke Blue Devils assistant coach Cristina Robertson as the sixth head coach in the program's 45-year history.[4] During the last two years of her tenure, in the 2020 and 2021 seasons (the former rescheduled to spring 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic), the team began a very successful run, winning the America East Conference tournament four years in a row.[5] Amidst this success, Cristina Robertson left to accept the head coaching position at Florida International University.[6] Kasey Crider was hired as head coach in February 2022, with the team continuing its success during his first two years at the job.[7]
