SPRINGFIELD, Mo -- Drury volleyball head coach Jenifer Bahner-Hill will not return for a 13th season in 2026, Vice President and Director of Athletics Nyla Milleson announced Tuesday.

"Coach Bahner-Hill and her staff represented Drury with class and dignity during her 12 years leading our volleyball program," Milleson stated. "We are appreciative of her many positive contributions to our University, on and off the court, and we wish her and her family the best."

During her tenure as head coach, she piloted Drury to its best season as an NCAA Division II program in 2018, when the Panthers went 28-7 and claimed a Great Lakes Valley Conference regular-season championship and NCAA Regional berth. This fall she completed her 12th season as the Panthers' head coach, leading Drury to a 17-13 overall record and its first GLVC Tournament appearance in six years.

Overall, Bahner-Hill compiled a 174-154 record at Drury, finishing as the second-winningest coach in program history.

Bahner-Hill was named the Panthers head coach in April 2014 after leading Cowley County (Kan.) Community College to a pair of national junior college championships in her five years as head coach.

A search for the next leader of Drury's volleyball program will begin immediately.
