MOUNT ALOYSIUS NAMES BEN GUILIANO INAUGURAL MEN'S VOLLEYBALL COACH

On Tuesday, Mount Aloysius College named Ben Guiliano, as the first men's volleyball coach in school history. Guiliano will look to start the program, which is scheduled to play its first competition in the 2021-22 school year.

Guiliano brings a wealth of experience with him to Cresson, PA. Most recently, he served as the head men's volleyball coach at Keuka College, in New York. While at Keuka, Guiliano began as the head women's volleyball coach in 2011, and oversaw the beginning of the men's volleyball program in 2013. He served as the head coach of both teams until 2016, after which he took over the men's volleyball team full-time. He mentored 34 total NEAC All-Conference players, between both programs.

Prior to Keuka, he most recently served as the head coach for both the men's and women's volleyball programs, at Pfeiffer University, in North Carolina. Guiliano has made coaching stops at NAIA, NJCAA, and all three levels of NCAA, including experience with both men's and women's programs. He has been part of starting three men's volleyball programs, one NCAA Division III Softball program, and was integral in restarting the women's volleyball program at, NCAA Division I, Creighton University.

Guiliano has directed his teams to 15 conference, four regional, and four district titles. In 2012, he was inducted into the Genesee Community College Athletics Hall of Fame. He served as the Head Coach of the men's volleyball, women's volleyball, and softball programs at Genesee.

Guiliano holds a Master of Science degree in Physical Education from SUNY Brockport and Bachelor of Arts in Communications Media from SUNY Geneseo. He has taught college courses at many of his various stops.

Men's Volleyball will be the 16th NCAA-sponsored sport offered at Mount Aloysius. It will be the newest addition, since women's lacrosse was added in 2019-20. The program will compete in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, along with the majority of the other Mountie programs.
