NEW YORK - Brady Ambro has been named Head Coach of the Baruch College Men's Volleyball Team.
The announcement was made by Baruch College Director of Athletics and Recreation, Heather MacCulloch on Thursday.
A Baruch alumni ('17) and former standout on the court, Ambro returns to the program he once proudly represented. With an established connection to Baruch College and first hand experience competing at the highest level of Division III volleyball, he is well-positioned to lead the Bearcats to an era of more success.
"We are proud to welcome back Brady Ambro as the new Head Coach of Baruch College Men's Volleyball," said Heather MacCulloch. "As a dedicated alumnus, former assistant coach, and a key member of our NCAA tournament teams, Brady brings not only deep experience but also a true passion for the Baruch program. His commitment to excellence and connection to our Bearcat legacy make him the ideal leader to guide the next generation of student-athletes."
Ambro played for the Bearcats from 2013 to 2016 while earning his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. As an outside hitter, he helped lead the team to multiple CUNYAC titles (2013, 2014, 2015) and NCAA Tournament appearances (2013, 2014, 2015), including a trip to the Final Four in 2013 in Rochester. His accolades include the 2016 Baruch College Helen Belden Sportsmanship Award, Team Captain Honors, 2016 Team MVP, and was named a 2016 CUNYAC First Team All-Star.
His coaching resume includes serving as an assistant coach for the Baruch men's volleyball team during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, as well as coaching
with the International Volleyball Club, where he continued to develop and mentor young athletes.
"I am happy to be back in the ARC Arena as the new men's volleyball head coach," said Ambro. "As a former Bearcat, the culture of the program has always inspired and motivated me and I am excited to help lead the next generation of Bearcats to success on and off the court."
Baruch Athletics is excited to welcome Coach Ambro back to the court. He was a key contributor to the teams continued success during his tenure as a player — now he aims to do so as the team's head coach.
