STATESBORO— Lexi Uhrhan has been promoted to volleyball assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, head coach Chad Willis announced.

"We've been fortunate to have great continuity amongst our staff which I really believe speaks to the culture of our program and alignment throughout," he said. "For the past 2 years, Lexi has been an integral part of our continued growth as a team - her commitment to excellence and passion for people is contagious all the while equipping herself with a unique skillset I am confident will keep impacting our program at great depths. Well earned and deserved, we are excited for Lexi's opportunity in this elevated role as our assistant coach and recruiting coordinator."

Uhrhan joined the volleyball staff ahead of the 2023 season as an assistant coach and has been an integral part of the staff that has guided the Eagles to consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since 2013 and 2014.

"Little did I know two years ago when I stepped onto campus how much this place and program would impact my life," Uhrhan said. "It has been a privilege to begin my career at such an exceptional institution and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue my journey at Georgia Southern. I would like to thank Chad for his confidence, leadership, and mentorship. Georgia Southern has truly become my home away from home, I am excited to remain part of a community that values achieving high levels of success while also building impactful relationships. This is a special program and I'm eager to keep working alongside Chad, E and our student-athletes to build champions on and off the court. Hail Southern!"

Under her guidance in 2024, the Eagles had the third-highest winning percentage in program history (.758) and third-most digs per set (17.50) in school history. Ashlyn Lovett had one of the greatest libero seasons in program history as well, finishing with 5.47 digs per set, the second-most in a single season in the Georgia Southern record books.

Uhrhan came to Statesboro after finishing her collegiate playing career at Mercer, where she played four years as a libero/defensive specialist. The Louisville, Kentucky, native played in 98 matches, collecting 647 digs, 98 assists, 93 service aces and 10 kills, winning consecutive SoCon regular season championships. As a senior in 2022, she had 304 digs, including a career-high 23 against Wofford.

Uhrhan and the Eagles will look to improve on the 22-7 record heading into the 2025 season.
