The 2010 season marks Joslynn Gallop’s sixth as the head coach of the Embry-Riddle women’s volleyball team. The third head coach in the 14-year history of volleyball at ERAU, Gallop has charted 109-56 record in her first five seasons.
In 2009, the two-time Sun Conference Coach of the Year, won her second regular season conference title as a head coach. She guided the Eagles to a perfect 18-0 Sun Conference record and a 24-8 overall mark.
Under Gallop’s guidance, a number of Embry-Riddle student-athletes have garnered individual recognition, including 26 All-Conference selections. Her protégé accolades include conference Player of the Year honors for Janelle Marinos (2005) and Abby Hall (2009), Newcomer of the Year honors for Hall (2008) and Jordan Holcomb (2009) and Defensive Player of the Year recognition for Julia Frasetto (2009). Gallop’s setters have also been recognized as the best in the conference as Marissa Gonzalez was tabbed as the league’s Setter of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and Adrianna Vazquez earned the same honor in 2009.
Gallop inherited a that team finished 3-30 in 2004 – the worst campaign in the 10-year history of the program. The Eagles’ losing record didn’t hinder her enthusiasm and the team’s success over the last two seasons is a tribute to her commitment to turn Eagle Volleyball into a successful program.
Before taking the helm at ERAU, Gallop faced a similar challenge of transforming a program when she was a two-year assistant coach at St. Mary’s College (Calif.), an NCAA Division I institution. She was an integral part of bringing St. Mary’s women’s volleyball to national prominence as the Gaels finished the 2004 campaign ranked No. 13 in the final USA Today/College Sports Television Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Gaels finished the year at 25-4 overall, which included defeating 2004 NCAA National Champion Stanford twice and advancing to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. In 2003, St. Mary’s finished with a 20-13 record and advanced to the first round of the NCAA tournament.
With the Gaels, Gallop was responsible for assisting head coach Jon Stevenson in day-to-day team operations, practice planning, scouting, recruiting and office administration. Gallop’s primary on-court responsibilities focused on the defensive aspects of the game with special concentration in blocking, while helping players hone their hitting skills.
Prior to her work with the St. Mary’s program, Gallop assisted head coach Craig Choate from 2001-02 at her alma mater San Jose State after completing her playing career in 2000.
A native of Roseburg, Oregon, Gallop was a standout student-athlete as an All-American player from 1997-00 at San Jose State. One of the most decorated Spartan volleyball players in San Jose State history, Gallop was a two-time honorable mention ASICS All-American and a two-time first team All-Western Athletic Conference selection. Gallop was the 1999 WAC Player of the Year and the 1997 WAC Pacific Division Freshman of the Year. Gallop has four career, three single-season and one match record in the Spartan record book. She is the Spartans’ all-time kills leader with 1,966 and blocking leader with 456 total blocks. She also set career records for kill average at 4.40 per game and block assists with 391. Gallop set the San Jose State single-season kill record in 2000 with 630. In 1999, she set the season-best hitting percentage mark at .382, and the best kill average at 5.60 per game.
Gallop, who graduated from SJSU in May of 2002 with a degree in liberal studies, ranks in three other San Jose State career categories. She is second in hitting percentage at .310, digs with 1,052 and sixth in solo blocks with 65. Gallop also made an impact on the WAC record book as she is the conference’s all-time kill leader. She broke the WAC single season kills per game record in 1999 (5.60) and the WAC matches only kill record with 312 and kills per game (6.24).
Most recently, Gallop was named to the 15-year All-Western Athletic Conference women’s volleyball second team as voted by WAC fans in an online poll.
In the spring of 2008, Gallop was selected as head coach for the youth High Performance Teams through USA Volleyball. She served as the head coach for the Select Team ages 12-14 that traveled to Tuscon, Ariz. where the team took sixth in the nation. In the summer of 2009, she served as the head coach of the Youth Team for 15-16 year olds in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
She traveled to Venice, Italy in the winter of 2008 with the Bring It USA Volleyball Organization. During this trip she took 10 Florida high school players to compete in international volleyball with the goal of youth developmental skills.
In the winter of 2008, Gallop and former ERAU assistant Blake Rawlins launched the Atlantic Coast Juniors Volleyball Club. She serves as the Director of Coaches and the Program Manager for the club program.
