Schweihofer joins the squad after spending the 2016 season as an assistant coach for the University of Pennsylvania women’s volleyball team. He also served as the interim head coach following the departure of Penn’s head coach before joining La Salle this summer.
Prior to Penn, Schweihofer spent two years at Atlantic 10 rival George Mason, where he served as the top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. He improved the Patriots to a 10-19 overall record, the best single season record since 2010 during his time at the university.
“Having previously coached in the Atlantic 10, Scott brings a solid understanding of the conference, as well as what is needed to be victorious,” said head coach Schweihofer. “He will aide in our technical and tactical decision making and provide support for all position groups.”
The former outside hitter also served as an assistant indoor and sand volleyball coach at Mercer University. He helped the team advance to the Atlantic Sun Tournament for the first time in four years during his time there. Schweihofer also led the College of Charleston volleyball team to a Southern Conference regular season title and an appearance in the conference championship before moving into the assistant position at Mercer.
Schweihofer has held assistant coaching positions at both Michigan State and Presbyterian College. While at Michigan, he saw the team advance to the NCAA Championship Round of 16 in 2007. He spent four years at Limestone College, serving as the team captain and was a two-time MVP. Named the Saint’s first all-conference player, his all-time statistics in aces, kills and kill attempts still lead the program.
