"WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Patriots swept Georgetown 3-0 in head coach Jackie Simpson’s first game at the helm Friday night to open the 2015 campaign. The decision marks women’s volleyball’s first season-opening win since 2009."

My favorite Mason team!

"Head Coach, Women's Volleyball"

"FAIRFAX, Va. – George Mason women's volleyball head coach Jackie Simpson-Kirr has resigned from her position after two seasons at the job announced Assistant VP, Director of Athletics Brad Edwards."

"CLEMSON, S.C. – Jackie Simpson-Kirr has joined the Clemson volleyball staff as associate head coach, and will serve as the team’s offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Head Coach Michaela Franklin made the announcement on Monday."

Short tenure at Mason. Was the resignation under pressure after a 7-20 season?

The Patriots (4-19, 0-11 A10) currently have a 14-match losing streak in the A10 (including losses in last season's final 2 regular season matches and the A10 quarterfinals). The final 3 matches this season are scheduled for the RAC:

GW - Friday, Nov. 8
Rhode Island - Friday, Nov. 15
Fordham - Saturday, Nov. 16

Fordham (12-14, 5-9 A10) came back from a 2-set deficit to defeat Mason (4-22, 0-14 A10) 3-2. Mason finished the season winless in the A10, and now has a 17-match conference losing streak.

This is the program's 9th consecutive season with an overall losing record.

"FAIRFAX, Va. – George Mason women's volleyball head coach Aylene Ilkson has announced the addition of Jordan Glass to her coaching staff on Thursday. Glass will serve as an assistant coach for the upcoming season.

'I am very excited to welcome Jordan back to Mason,' said Ilkson. 'I was given the privilege to coach Jordan during her senior season. Since then, I have watched her become an outstanding coach and mentor for young women.'

Glass joins the Patriots from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where she spent the last two years as a graduate assistant volleyball coach. At SIUE, she was in charge of working with all aspects of the program, from scouting and recruiting to team travel. She helped lead the Cougars to a fifth-place finish in the OVC in 2018-19."

"FAIRFAX, Va. – The George Mason women's volleyball team has announced its 2020-21 spring schedule, which features seven non-conference games and a condensed A-10 slate."

I loved going to women's volleyball games because outside of the obvious reasons of the players being beautiful, it is a really fun and quick moving competition to watch.

In its first ever volleyball match, ODU defeated Mason in straight sets 3-0 this afternoon at the ODU Volleyball Center. ODU is coached by former Mason men's volleyball coach Fred Chao.

Mason has lost 15 consecutive matches, including all 14 A10 matches last season.

The Patriots dropped a 3-2 decision to Norfolk State to move to 0-2 on the young season."

Mason has lost 16 consecutive matches.
