April Elsbernd
Head Women's Volleyball Coach; Physical Education/Health, Wellness and Recreation Adjunct Faculty BA, Coe College; MS, University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse. Email: aelsbernd@dbq.edu Office Phone: (563) 589-3231 Office Location: 111 Van Vliet Biography - Click to close
Elsbernd is a native of Calmar, Iowa (South Winneshiek High School), and played collegiate volleyball at Coe College from 1999-2002. She was a four-year letterwinner and earned Academic All-Iowa Conference honors in 2001 and 2002. She holds Coe's records for most kills in a match (4 games), career record attempts with 3,506, and solo blocks in a four game match with 7. After graduating from Coe, she spent three seasons as an assistant under Cornell College's Jeff Meeker and one season as an assistant at Western Technical College in La Crosse, Wis.
Most recently she was the head coach at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa. In her first season, she finished with a 15-22 record. "I was really impressed with the University of Dubuque campus, the mission and vision of the college and the city of Dubuque itself," added Elsbernd. "I am familiar with the Iowa Conference, as a former student-athlete and am glad to be part of the IIAC as a head coach. I'm looking forward to the challenges of the strong competition among the IIAC and learning from my colleagues." One of Elsbernd's goals is to go out and be competitive every time they step on the court. She is anxious to begin working with the Spartans and to bring in recruits who will play at the level needed to be successful in the IIAC and in regional play. "The University of Dubuque believes we have hired someone with a love of the sport of volleyball, who has a great enthusiasm for recruiting," added Dan Runkle. "We have taken steps to help us move back among the top of the Iowa Conference and become a successful volleyball program once again." Elsbernd graduated from Coe in 2003 with a degree in sociology and communications. She received her masters degree in Sports Administration from the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse in 2007. Coaching Record 2009 11-22 overall, 2-6 in IIAC (7th place) |
