Kendra Mosher, a former National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) All-America selection while playing at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, enters her second season as head coach of the Kenyon College volleyball program. Hired in May of 2018, she led the Ladies to a 16-12 record a year ago and finished fourth in the North Coast Athletic Conference. The year prior during the 2017 season, Mosher served as the Ladies assistant coach, helping guide the squad to a 15-11 record and a fifth-place finish in the NCAC standings.
Mosher arrived on campus after serving as head coach at Cardington-Lincoln High School for three seasons. During the 2015 campaign, the Pirates were 7-16, but turned things around in 2016 by posting a 12-11 record, marking the program's first winning season since 2011. In that same three-year span, Mosher coached six players who earned All-Central District honors and/or All-Mid Ohio Athletic Conference honors.
In addition to coaching at the high school level, Mosher owns six years coaching experience at the club level, heading up both regional and American teams in central Ohio.
During her playing days at nearby Mt. Vernon Nazarene, Mosher was a four-year starter as an outside hitter. She piled up 1,527 career kills, a total that still ranks 10th-best in Cougar history. She was tabbed an all-conference player in three of her four seasons and was named an All-America pick in the 2013 season after racking up 350 kills, 102 digs and 54 blocks in 29 matches played.
Mosher graduated from MVNU in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and health.
