Maria Jacobus enters her first season as an assistant coach for Vandal volleyball in 2025-26.
Jacobus brings with her a pedigree of success coaching at the junior college level, having served as the head coach of nearby Wenatchee Valley College since 2022 and being with the team since 2020. The Knights, under Coach Maria, saw an unprecedented turnaround and level of success within the program, surging from four wins in her first year to twenty-two and twenty in the second and third, becoming playoff regulars as well.
The resumé that Jacobus brings to Moscow has the head coach extremely excited about what the Vandals can become.
"We are very thrilled to have Maria join the Vandal volleyball program," stated Redondo Kriskova. "She will be a tremendous addition to the team with her contagious energy and enthusiasm. Maria's values and standards align with ours and the culture that we are trying to build. We just added a great asset in recruiting and positional coaching to our staff!"
