Sleepy Hollow's Georgia Efthalitsides Named AD3I Volleyball Coach of the Year

For the second consecutive year, the Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) has recognized The College of New Rochelle volleyball head coach Georgia Efthalitsides with Coach of the Year accolades.

Efthalitsides has continually raised the bar for the Blue Angels program during her tenure at the helm, earning Coach of the Year honors after leading CNR to the HVIAC regular season and tournament championship titles. She guided the Blue Angels to a perfect 5-0 record in conference play, with all five wins coming in straight sets, and broke the program record set last year for wins in a season, compiling a 25-8 overall record, with 20 of the 25 wins coming in straight sets. She also mentored the team to program records for consecutive wins (11) and home wins, as the Blue Angels posted an unblemished 15-0 record at the Wellness Center.

In her six seasons, CNR has won two regular season championships, four tournament championships and have advanced to the conference semifinals every season. This year, the program’s first in the ECAC, she led the team to the first postseason appearance in program history and the first for any Blue Angel program since 1984-85 (basketball).

Five Blue Angels earned All-Independent status this year, with senior Meghan King also earning Player of the Year recognition.
