Kyle Guenther will be staying aboard to continue coaching the Pilots women’s volleyball program through the 2024-25 season, Providence Athletics announced Friday.

After beginning as an assistant, Guenther assumed head coaching responsibilities in 2017 and has led the team for the past 8 years. This year, Guenther has guided the team through their best-ever season, boasting a perfect regular season record that includes sixteen wins (with two matches left to play), and their highest-ever national ranking in Canada; currently 10^th in the CCAA’s weekly Top 15 list.

“I am happy to welcome Kyle back to the program next season,” said Providence’s Director of Athletics, Russell Willms. “Kyle is well-connected within our conference, institution, and our local club volleyball networks. He is an excellent coach who facilitates a positive sporting experience and healthy, competitive culture for athletes. I know that Kyle will continue to steer the program in a good direction next season.”

Guenther and the Pilots are completing the final weekend of their regular season this weekend, in Brandon against the second-place, ACC Cougars and return to Niverville next weekend to host the 2024 MCAC Volleyball Championships happening February 24^th and 25^th at the Niverville Community Resource and Recreation Centre.
