Volleyball: CAJUNS PROMOTE KRALJEV TO HEAD VOLLEYBALL COACH

May 10, 2005 – Matt Hebert, Sports Information –

Portland native served as an assistant coach under former head coach
Becky Madden the previous three seasons

LAFAYETTE – Louisiana-Lafayette Director of Athletics Nelson Schexnayder
announced Tuesday he has named Amy Kraljev, previously an assistant
coach for the past three seasons with the school, as the Ragin’ Cajuns
volleyball program’s 11th head coach.

Kraljev, a native of Portland and alumnus of the University, replaces
Becky Madden who resigned last month. Her hiring is pending approval
from the University of Louisiana Board of Trustees and she will
officially take over the post on June 6.

Kraljev spent the previous six years involved with the Ragin’ Cajuns
program either as a player or a coach.

She lettered for two seasons under Chris Campbell during the 1999 and
2000 seasons after transferring from Clackamas Community College. In
2001, Kraljev served as a student coach under Campbell and was hired on
as an assistant coach when Madden arrived in 2002 serving in that
capacity until her current appointment.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity,” Kraljev said. “I’ve been a
part of this program for six years as a student, athlete, assistant and
now the head coach – everything has come full circle for me.

“I’m anticipating great things happening in the volleyball program,”
Kraljev added. “I’m grateful to be a part of its past, present and most
importantly its future.”

Under Madden, Kraljev served as the program’s head recruiting
coordinator and handled the team’s defensive instruction and serving
techniques. She also handled the Cajuns’ marketing and promotion efforts
along with supervising the team’s community service projects.

As a player, Kraljev was a member of the Ragin’ Cajuns’ 2000 team which
won the most Sun Belt matches in program history. As a senior, the squad
posted 11 SBC wins and she led the team with 378 digs.

Kraljev received her bachelor’s degree from Louisiana-Lafayette in
December 2001.
