Alli Graf begins her first year as a graduate assistant coach with the Frostburg State volleyball program in 2017.
Graf arrives in Frostburg after a very successful playing career at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. As a senior in 2016, Graf led the Seahawks with a team-high 483 kills and a rate of 4.16 kills per set. Those numbers put her among the top division III volleyball players in the country in 2016 and earned her recognition as a First Team All-CAC player and a member of both the AVCA All-North Region and Honorable Mention All-American teams.
In 2015, Graf placed second on the Seahawks squad in both kills with 247 and digs with 324. She was named to the All-CAC second team as a junior.
Prior to St. Mary’s (Md.) Graf spent two seasons as a member of the volleyball team at the United States Naval Academy and was named to the All-Patriot League second team in 2014 as a sophomore.
Graf also brings an impressive coaching background to FSU from her time at both St. Mary’s (Md.) and the Naval Academy. Following her Seahawks playing career, Graf served as a coach’s assistant at St. Mary’s (Md.) from January of 2017 until May where she helped to organize and run team practices as well as took part in the recruitment of athletes. She also worked as an assistant court coach for the Naval Academy volleyball camp in July of 2017 where she had the opportunity to work one-on-one with young athletes to develop their skills.
Graf graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland in the summer of 2017 with a degree in environmental studies.
