After just one season at the helm of Michigan State’s volleyball program, Kristen Kelsay has received a contract extension from MSU athletic director J Batt. With the extension, Kelsay’s contract now runs through 2031.
In her first season leading the program, Kelsay compiled an 18-12 record, which included a ton of achievements. It was MSU’s most wins in a season since 2017. It also was the program’s first time going undefeated in non-conference action since 2012 and fourth time overall, compiling a 10-0 mark in the non-con. The Spartans also posted their best team hitting efficiency (.222), kills per set (12.83), assists per set (11.99) and service aces per set (1.71) since 2017
All in all, the program under Kelsay’s direction looks to be in a magnificent spot following the first season, and is only trending upwards, showing the decision by Batt to be a strong reward.
