Florida assistant Shannon Wells has been named head coach of the Virginia volleyball program, filling a vacancy from the abrupt removal of former coach Aaron Smith and his staff last month.
Wells comes to Virginia after serving on the coaching staff at Florida the past seven seasons, where she has served as the program’s recruiting coordinator.
Virginia Athletics joins a number of high-level Division I programs with these measures, including Michigan and Texas, who laid off dozens of employees in September.
