BEKAH STRANGE | ASSISTANT COACH
Bekah Strange joined the Campbell coaching staff in January 2024 as an assistant coach. The Indiana-native spent the past two seasons as the top assistant coach on the IUPUI staff.
“I’m truly excited to have Bekah join my staff” head coach Greg Goral said. “She was a great defensive player throughout high school, club and college, and has the training, coaching and professional experience to help the program continue to become elite. Her drive, abilities, knowledge and positive style will mesh well with our athletes and staff."
During her last two seasons at IUPUI, Strange worked primarily as the program’s top assistant, but did serve as the interim head coach as the program underwent a change in leadership following the 2022 season.
Last season she worked with Grace Purichia and helped the newcomer earn a spot on the 2023 Horizon League all-freshman team.
Prior to her stint at IUPUI, Strange worked on staff as a graduate assistant at Oakland University, a GA at La Salle, and a volunteer assistant at Loyola Chicago.
Strange enjoyed an impressive and decorated playing career at VCU that she capped with an A-10 championship in 2017. A four-year starter as libero, Strange led the A-10 in digs/set (5.00) and held the Rams go undefeated in league play. She was tabbed A-10 Libero of the Year and first-team all-conference.
She concluded her playing career with 1,812 digs (4.02 digs per set), both marks good for third-best in VCU history.
Following graduation, Strange joined that year as an assistant coach with Richmond Volleyball Club and Division 1 Volleyball Club. In her first collegiate coaching stop at
Loyola, she helped the Ramblers finish 21-11, 14-4 ini league play and earn a trip to the MVC Tournament.
At Oakland, she helped the Golden Grizzlies go 15-15, 9-9 in league play, an improvement from the year prior where both records fell below .500.
Strange starred at Avon High School (Avon, Ind.), helping the Orioles to back-to-back IHSAA 4A State titles in 2012 and 2013. She was a two-time all-state and all-conference performer while helping Avon to four straight sectional and regional crowns. She finished her career with Avon's career marks for aces in a career (272) and single match
(11).
Strange graduated from VCU in 2018 with a B.S. in mass communications and interned with VCU’s sports marketing and athletic communications offices.
