UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State women’s volleyball assistant coach Steve Aird has been named the head coach of the University of Maryland Terps women’s volleyball team.

I truly appreciate the student-athletes, fans and boosters that I’ve been fortunate to know during my time at Penn State, and I am incredibly excited to get going in College Park.”
