Iowa volleyball head coach Bond Shymansky announced Monday that Danielle Carlson has been appointed as the Iowa volleyball program’s director of operations.

Carlson played volleyball for Shymansky at Marquette and later played professionally in Sweden.

“I’ve always believed that Danielle can do anything,” Shymansky said in a release. “She has decided to join our staff as director of operations, and she’ll do that exceptionally well.”

During her time at Marquette, Carlson excelled on the court and in the classroom. While helping Marquette reach its first two NCAA Tournament appearances, she also received Capital One Academic All-American Accolades in 2012.
