DELHI, N.Y. (June 26, 2019) – SUNY Delhi women's volleyball head coach Beau Bracchy welcomes five new members to his team this fall as part of his 2019 recruiting class. Entering his 15th season at the helm, Coach Bracchy has his team set on building off a successful 2018, where they made the conference tournament and finished with a 13-12 record. The 2019 campaign will mark Delhi's first year competing in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC).
"Of this group of five coming in, a couple are capable and expected to contribute right away, while others I plan to develop and help them adjust to the college level," related Bracchy. "We're looking at filling two voids at outside hitter. I envision this recruiting class stepping up for us at the outsider hitter position, as well as all areas up front."
