Having spent most of the past 13 years as a college volleyball player or coach, Susan Halverson-Maloney was not necessarily seeking a career change.
But when the Upper Arlington girls volleyball coaching job came open in November, Halverson-Maloney a former Ohio State player and Buckeyes assistant coach the past six seasons couldn’t pass up a chance to become more involved in her hometown through the sport she loves.
“For me, (a high school job) hadn’t really been on the radar. UA is the only job I got really excited about,” said Halverson-Maloney, who was named the Golden Bears’ new coach Dec. 17, pending school board approval. “I live here and it’s a great way to stay connected in the community.”
