Maggie Baumert is in her first season on the Drake volleyball staff after joining the Bulldogs July 24, 2018. She works primarily with the team's setters and serves as recruiting coordinator.
A native of Elkhorn, Neb., and former standout at Creighton University spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons as an assistant at Central Michigan.
"Maggie is an outstanding up-and-coming coach that comes to Drake highly recommended," McBroom said. "She espouses the core values that will make her a great fit in our program and the culture that we have established."
Baumert joined the Central Michigan volleyball program as a volunteer assistant coach in August, 2016 and was promoted to full-time assistant coach the following season.
At CMU, Baumert worked with the setters and the team's offensive systems.
She began her coaching career working camps while at her alma mater, Creighton, and for three years with Volleyball Club Nebraska.
As a student-athlete, Baumert was a standout setter at Creighton, where she helped lead the Bluejays to BIG EAST regular-season and tournament championships in 2014 and 2015.
"As a player, Maggie led her team to the NCAAs, which is one of the goals of our program," McBroom. "Complimenting her experience and leadership as a student-athlete, she has gained tremendous experience at Central Michigan and we will look forward to the impact Maggie will have on our program."
She was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team and the league all-tournament squad in 2015 when the Bluejays advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.
Baumert earned her bachelor of science with a major in psychology from Creighton in 2016 and her master's from CMU in 2018.
