POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – Marist Director of Athletics Tim Murray has announced a leadership change in the volleyball program. Sean Byron will not return as head coach after seven seasons.
 
Byron had an overall record of 78-103 and a mark of 62-50 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play. The Red Foxes qualified for the MAAC Championship four times in his tenure, and they reached the semifinal round in 2019.
 
The Red Foxes had six First Team All-MAAC selections in Byron's seven seasons, led by MAAC Player of the Year Sasha van der Merwe in 2023. The program also continued its strong work academically, as it won the Athletic Director's award for highest cumulative grade-point average each of the last four years.
 
A national search for Byron's replacement will begin immediately.
