SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Seton Hall women's volleyball head coach Shannon Thompson announced today the hiring of Kelsey Goodman as the Pirates' new assistant coach.

"I'm very excited to have Kelsey on board with us," Thompson said. "She's a very determined, intelligent, and hard-working coach who will help to lead efficient practices, recruit quality student-athletes and help manage day-to-day operations.  She's a joy to be around and very engaging with our players.  She'll be a great role model for these young women."
