GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -
Padley Gallagher has been hired to take over the men's volleyball program at Davenport University. She inherits a program that has not played a game since Feb. 9, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team posted an 8-2 record during the 2019-20 season before the season was halted.

"I am very excited to be coming into Davenport this fall and work with a new group of volleyball players, grow the game of men's volleyball in West Michigan, and become a DU Panther!" said Gallagher.
