A 6’2 middle blocker was a four-time Atlantic 10 champion with the Flyers and appeared in 83 matches over her career. Elected a team captain in her senior season, Agu made four appearances in the NCAA Tournament as a player, advancing to the second round three times.
“Angel is a wonderful addition to our staff, as she played in an extremely successful collegiate program, and will continue to help La Salle Volleyball develop and improve within the Atlantic 10,” said head coach Caitlin Schweihofer. “She has great energy and enthusiasm, and will work specifically with our middle blockers.”
The Grapevine, Tx. native ranked second for the Flyers with .88 blocks/set during the 2015 campaign, while tallying a career best 140 kills and 100 blocks. Agu was named to the 2015 Dayton Invitational All-Tournament team after helping the squad to wins over Eastern Illinois and Cleveland State.
“I would like to thank Caitlin Schweihofer and Andrew Kroger for giving me the opportunity to join the the volleyball family here at La Salle,” said Agu. “It is a great honor to work alongside two amazing coaches with years of notable experience. I am truly excited to contribute in helping this program reach new heights!”
Agu was recipient of the 2015 Katie Hausfield Teammate award for her leadership through example, commitment to the game and support as a teammate for the Flyers. Additionally, she was a two-time nominee for the Northwestern Mutual Leadership Award.
