Matt Stolz was named the fifth head coach in Queens women's volleyball program history in April of 2025.
Stolz brings a championship pedigree and over eight years of collegiate coaching experience, including the last five seasons as an assistant at Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO), where he helped guide the Redhawks to an Ohio Valley Conference Championship and multiple postseason appearances.

Stolz played a vital role in SEMO's rise to conference prominence, contributing to a 96-51 overall record during his tenure. His time there included a 2021 OVC Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance, a 2024 OVC Championship, and consistent top finishes in the league. He also coached several players who earned all-conference and all-region honors while helping elevate the overall performance of the program.

Before joining SEMO, Stolz, a Wauwatosa, Wisconsin native, served as a volunteer assistant coach at Marquette University during a season in which the Golden Eagles reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament and maintained a top-25 national ranking. There, he worked closely with a roster that featured five All-BIG EAST honorees and an AVCA All-American. He contributed to in-game strategy, statistical analysis, and middle blocker development while also assisting with team logistics and practice planning.

Stolz began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Averett University, where he earned an MBA in Leadership. He also holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Lakeland University, where he was a member of the men's volleyball team. Stolz owned the Lakeland career kills record (895) until this past season, and he received All-Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League First Team honors in each of his final two seasons as a Muskie.
