Mount Marty University has announced the hiring of Kayla Harris as a new assistant coach for the Lancers Volleyball program.
Harris has coached at the club and high school level, most recently serving as the head coach at Vermillion High School.
Before her coaching career, Harris was a three-year varsity starter at Morningside in Sioux Center, where she helped the Mustangs make the NAIA National Tournament in 2018 and 2019.
Harris joins the staff of second-year head coach Sophia Lobo Paes, who led the Lancers to a 12-15 record last season, the most wins in a single year since 2014 for the program.
Mount Marty Head Women’s Basketball Coach Alan Betram and University of South Dakota Head Football Coach Travis Johansen will be the featured guest speakers at today’s Yankton Quarterback Club meeting.
Bertram is in his third season in charge of the Lancer women’s basketball program. He holds a 23-58 record at MMU, including 10-15 this season.
Johansen was recently named the new head coach of the Coyotes following the retirement of Bob Nielsen. Johansen previously served as USD’s Defensive Coordinator since 2019.
A meal will be available to purchase at 11:15 at the River Rock Event Center with the meeting beginning at noon. The public is invited to attend.
