Rachel Selmore enters her fourth season as an assistant coach with the Piedmont volleyball program in the fall of 2021. Selmore joined the Lions after spending the 2017 season at the University of Mount Union as an Assistant Coach helping the Raiders to a 25-5 record.
The 2021 spring campaign included competition only against USA South opponents. The Lady Lions picked up four overall wins in the shortened season with two being in conference matches.
The 2019 season saw the Lady Lions total 10 wins including going 6-8 in league play. The Lady Lions made the USA South tournament for the fourth year in a row dropping a close 3-2 battle against Covenant in the opening round.
In her first season with the Lady Lions, Selmore helped guide Piedmont to a 16-11 mark overall while making a run to the USA South tournament final. Piedmont entered the conference tournament as the No. 4 seed but won three-straight with an upset over top-seeded Covenant and second-seeded William Peace.
The Lady Lions would face Meredith in the championship game, but fell 3-0 to the top-seeded East Division Avenging Angels.
During her time at Mount Union, Selmore helped the team to a 3rd place finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) and an 11-match win streak to start the season. Selmore served as a special advisor to the freshman athletes to help with their transition into the college game.
Selmore also monitored the Raiders strength and conditioning training over the 2017 season while helping in recruiting and scouting efforts throughout the year. The Raiders’ 25-5 record in 2017 was the best record since the 2014 season when they won 29 contests.
