ETOBICOKE, Ont. - The Humber Hawks women's volleyball team is pleased to welcome former OCAA star Mandi Doris to its coaching staff. Doris joins a team that has won an OCAA record eight consecutive OCAA women's volleyball crowns.

As a multiple East Division First-Team All-Star, she ruled the middle as a standout on the Durham Lords squad for five seasons, and at the end of her career she sat atop the OCAA all-time blocks category with 217.

She moved almost directly into the coaching ranks, as an assistant with the Lords, and most recently was a valued member of the Seneca Sting staff. Her experience is vast, as she also serves as president of the BLOCK Volleyball Training Academy, and as a coach in the highly acclaimed Durham Attack program.

"Mandi not only brings tremendous overall coaching experience with her, she has great strength in mentoring and teaching the skills needed to help middles excel," said Humber head coach Chris Wilkins. "As someone who coached against her when she was a player, I had the utmost respect for her as an athlete and as a leader."

"I'm honoured for the opportunity," said Doris. "I will definitely bring as much as I can to the team, and look forward to being part of this wonderful program."

Although pre-season play for the Hawks does not start until September, she will join the existing coaching staff immediately to assist in the recruiting, and summer training.
