An Indiana native and former Purdue standout, Tiffany Koors enters her seventh season with the Ball State women's volleyball program and her first as the associate head coach of the Cardinals in 2022.
“Tiffany has been a huge part of our program’s success the past six years and I am confident she is ready to be our program’s associate head coach,” Phillips said. “Her loyalty, competitive spirit and relationships with staff, players and community are huge assets to our program. I look forward to continuing to build upon our championship tradition with Tiffany.”
Koors enters her seventh season on Phillips’ staff in 2022 having helped guide the Cardinals to a 113-67 overall record and a 69-34 Mid-American Conference mark over her first six years. A recipient of the 2018 American Volleyball Coaches Association’s (AVCA) Thirty Under 30 Award, Koors has assisted Ball State to a pair of NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship appearances (2019 & 2021), including a first-round victory over Michigan this past season for the program’s third-ever NCAA tournament win.
“I want to thank Kelli and our administration for allowing me to further my career here at Ball State University,” Koors said. “Being part of the Cardinal family has brought me so much joy over the past six years. I love the opportunity I have to come to the office every day and mentor the exceptional group of young women in our program. In addition, I get the pleasure of working and learning from my long-time friend and mentor Kelli Phillips. I look forward to continuing my coaching journey and developing myself as I move forward with our program, the University, and the Muncie Community.”
Koors has played a role in guiding Ball State to a pair of MAC Volleyball Championship crowns (2019 & 2021), the 2021 MAC regular season title, and four MAC West Division championships (2017, 2018, 2019 & 2021). She also helped BSU earn a trip to the National Invitational Championships (NIVC) in 2018.
During Koors time on staff, Ball State’s student athletes have claimed 11 All-MAC First Team honors, four All-MAC Second Team/Honorable Mention accolades, six MAC All-Freshman awards, the 2019 & 2021 MAC Freshman of the Year honors and the 2018 MAC Setter of the Year award. In addition, two members of the 2021 squad were named AVCA All-Midwest Region, with freshman setter Megan Wielonski becoming just the fifth player in program history to earn all-region first team honors.
In the classroom, Koors has helped the Cardinals earn the prestigious AVCA Team Academic Award five times (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21). She also helped mentor Kate Avila to a pair of College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Second Team honors (2017 & 2018).
In addition, Ball State student-athletes have captured Academic All-MAC honors 46 times and MAC Women’s Volleyball Distinguished Scholar Athlete honors 11 times during his tenure.
Koors joined the Ball State staff after spending the previous three years as an assistant coach at the College of Charleston in the Colonial Athletic Association. She helped guide the Cougars to a pair of CAA regular season championships, the 2013 CAA Tournament title and a berth in the 2013 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship.
While at the College of Charleston, Koors’ main focus was working with the program’s blockers and attackers. She also assisted in setting, passing and defensive work. Her first year on staff saw CofC pace the CAA with a .255 attack percentage led by Muncie native and Delta High School graduate Darcy Dorton. Dorton was the 2013 CAA Player of the Year and an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American Honorable Mention honoree.
Koors also helped Cougars setter Kallie McKown earn 2013 CAA Setter of the Year honors and libero Andi Zbojniewicz capture 2014 CAA Defensive Player of the Year accolades. In three seasons at CofC, Koors helped her student-athletes earn one All-America honor, three CAA Player of the Year awards and 19 all-conference accolades.
Koors is no stranger to the state of Indiana, as she started her coaching career as a student assistant at Purdue (2012) following an exceptional playing career for the Boilermakers (2008-11). In her one season working under Purdue head coach Dave Shondell, Koors helped coach blocking and middle attacking for a squad which finished the season with a 23-11 overall record, was ranked as high as 12th in the nation and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Championship.
As a player, Koors led the Boilermakers to three NCAA Championship appearances, including three Sweet 16 berths (2008, 2010 and 2011) and an Elite Eight appearance (2010). An AVCA honorable mention All-American, All-Mideast Region and unanimous All-Big Ten selection as a senior, Koors finished her Purdue career ranked third all-time in school history in career hitting percentage (.322) and ninth in career block assists (322). She also led the team in service aces each of her last two seasons.
Koors, who graduated from Purdue in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education, recorded double digit kills in 38 career matches and five or more blocks 25 times over her playing career. She was named the most valuable player of the 2011 Denver Invitational and the 2010 Active Ankle Challenge, plus was a member of the Mortar Premier all-tournament team three times.
A native of Topeka, Ind., Koors earned three letters in volleyball and was an all-state honoree in three sports at Westview High School. She also earned four letters in basketball and four letters in track for the Warriors.
She married Robbi Koors in the summer of 2019 and the pair welcomed daughter Ramsey James into the world in January of 2020.
