WSU 2014 Volleyball Staff:
(L-R) Volunteer Coach Kelli Tikker,
Assistant Coaches Shannon Hunt
and Burdette Greeny, Head Coach
Jen Greeny, and Operations Coordinator Katie Hinrichs.
Page 5
Jen Greeny, after three seasons at the helm of the Washington
State University volleyball program, has made significant progress
in rebuilding the program to the level of national prominence that
it was when she played and was an assistant coach. The Cougars
produced an 18-win season with five conference wins in 2013, the
most wins since the 2009 season.
Other notable accomplishments in the 2013 season included:
going undefeated in the nonconference portion of the schedule (130); a 3-2 win over No. 16 Arizona State, the first victory over a ranked
team for Greeny at WSU; a 3-2 win over No. 4 USC after WSU was
down two sets and came back from a fifth-set 14-8 deficit to win 21-19, stopping six
consecutive match points; and a 3-2 win at No. 23 California, the first win over Cal for
WSU since 2003, and the first at Berkeley since 2003. The youthful Cougars proved to
be fierce competitors in 2013, winning five of the nine five-set matches they played,
the most five-set matches won since 2008. Four of those wins came over teams that
went on to play in the NCAA Championship tournament.
In March 2011, Greeny became the 12th coach in the history of the Cougars
volleyball program. She has compiled a three-year record of 43-54 at WSU and has
a seven-year career record of 155-78 (.665). As Jennifer Stinson, Greeny played and
coached at WSU during the program’s most successful years on the Palouse and when
hired, Greeny made a commitment to not only restore the program but to take it to the
next level of success. To that end, she and her staff produced a 2013 recruiting class
ranked 14th-best nationally.
The AVCA Pacific North Region Freshman of the Year was WSU’s Kyra Holt who
also garnered All-Pac-12 honorable mention and Pac-12 All-Freshman honors. Cougar
freshmen Emmy Allen and Hailey Bethune were named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman
honorable mention team.
Holt is the most honored WSU player since 2011 when senior Meagan Ganzer
became the first Cougar to be named to All-Pac-12 and All-Pacific Region teams,
breaking a ten-year drought. Under Greeny’s mentoring, Ganzer became the fourth
All-America player in WSU history and the first selected since 1996. Greeny, and her
assistant coach Burdette Greeny, have coached eight All-Americans and three players
who have had successful professional careers: Ganzer played in Puerto Rico, Romania,
and Germany, Camryn Irwin played in Austria, and Anile Clemente, a three-time AllAmerican at Lewis-Clark State, played in Denmark.
Greeny has also changed the academic culture of the program with consecutive
semesters of a team grade point average of 3.0 or better.
As the head volleyball coach at Lewis-Clark State College (Lewiston, Idaho)
from 2007-10, Greeny accumulating an impressive 112-24 record (.824) while turning
the Warriors’ program into one of the premier NAIA teams. She took the reins of a
struggling program and led it to four consecutive Frontier Conference regular season
titles and four consecutive berths to the NAIA National Tournament. The Warriors
finished in the top 13 in the nation each year and ended the 2010 season at 31-3 (.912),
the best mark in program history. Greeny was a four-time Frontier Conference Coach
of the Year and the AVCA Northwest Region Coach of the Year.
Jennifer Stinson was a stellar multi-sport athlete at Davenport (Wash.) High. At
WSU she became the seventh player in WSU history with 1,000 career kills. A threetime All-Pacific-10 Conference selection, Greeny’s statistics are prominent in WSU’s
all-time career lists ranking third in block assists (360), fourth in total blocks (419), and
seventh in solo blocks (59). She trained with the 1997 U.S. National volleyball team.
Greeny also excelled in the classroom where she was WSU’s Athlete of the Year
