CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Queens University of Charlotte Head Volleyball Coach Matt Stolz announced the addition of Hannah Jacobs as an assistant coach for the Royals' women's volleyball program. A former Division I student-athlete with experience at both LSU and SMU, Jacobs brings a decorated playing career and a solid background in athletics, coaching, and leadership to her new role with the team.
