Katie Schumacher-Cawley

Katie Anne Schumacher-Cawley (born March 10, 1979) is an American former volleyball and basketball player who is the head coach of the Penn State women's volleyball team. After serving as the associate head coach since 2018, she was named head coach on January 10, 2022, following Russ Rose's retirement from coaching. In her third season as Penn State's head coach in 2024, Schumacher-Cawley made NCAA history by becoming the first female Division I women's volleyball coach to win an NCAA championship, the program's eighth title overall. The same season, she also led Penn State to the Big Ten Conference title, the program's first since 2017.
