Volleyball: Coach Young Joins the 700 Club

Central Community College head volleyball coach Mary Young picked up her 700th career win at the recent NJCAA Division II national tournament in Charleston, W.Va. 

The 3-2 win came against a familiar foe, Northeast Community College, and propelled the Raiders to the ninth-place match, which they won over Iowa Central Community College.

"It was quite a milestone and I feel extremely fortunate to do what I do each day with coaching student-athletes at Central," Young said.

"I'm pleased to have all 700 wins at CCC," she added." I've been blessed with some tremendous young people in our program that have given me some awesome life moments and maybe a few gray hairs!"

Young is now third in wins nationally among active coaches and seventh all-time.

The Raiders finished the 2017 campaign with a mark of 36-11.
