Caroline Knop

Caroline Knop concluded her third season as an assistant coach with the College of Charleston volleyball program in the fall of 2021.
 
“It is an exciting time as we add Caroline to our staff,” Kepner said. “She really connected with the team on her visit and her energy and competitive drive was contagious. She has played at the highest level and has learned from some of the best coaches in the country. Caroline is going to bring a tremendous amount to our gym, on the recruiting trail, and to all aspects of our program. I am thrilled to welcome Caroline to Charleston and the Cougar family.”
