Kacie Ehinger (pronounced en-ger), who worked with Hanna at Marist for three seasons, enters her fourth season at Akron in 2018. She has more than 15 years of experience in collegiate volleyball. She joined Akron after spending the 2014 season at Lamar University.
Ehinger served as an assistant coach at Marist College for three seasons. While at Marist, she worked specifically with defensive specialists and primary passers. In 2013, she played a major role in the development of MAAC Libero of the Year Brooke Zywick and MAAC Player of the Year Mackenzie Stephens as the Red Foxes went onto claim a share of the conference regular-season championship.
Following her playing career, Ehinger accepted an assistant coaching position at Defiance College, where she helped the Lady Jackets to a massive turn around, improving from 6-27 her first season to conference finalists a year later.
After returning to her alma mater for the 2009 season, Ehinger coached for Siena Heights in 2010 before joining the staff at Marist in 2011.
Ehinger worked the Premier Academy for five years as a head coach and an assistant coach.
An Adrian, Mich., native, Ehinger played volleyball at Adrian College, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in health, physical education, and recreation in 2006. She was a four-time All-Conference honoree and team captain, earning the league's Defensive Player of the Year award in 2003. Ehinger earned a master's of education from Defiance in 2009.
