On Jan. 31, Iowa Athletic Director Gary Barta announced that Bond Shymansky would take over as head coach of the Hawkeye volleyball team.

Shymansky, an Iowa City native and UI graduate, spent five seasons (2009-2013) as the head coach at Marquette, where he led the team to its first NCAA postseason berth and victory in 2011.  Before that, Shymansky spent seven years at Georgia Tech, where his teams reached the NCAA Tournament three times.

Shymansky replaces former head coach Sharon Dingman, who had a 66-125 record at Iowa.

A press conference will be held in Carver-Hawkeye at 1 p.m. today to introduce Shymansky.
