Francisco Casado just recently completed his third season with the Lions.  Casado led the GCU's Volleyball program to their first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Championship title and first-ever NCAA Division II Regional Tournament.

A native of Puerto Rico, Casado has brought over 21 years of volleyball playing and coaching experience into his first collegiate head coaching position.

Since 2001, Casado has been a member of the South Jersey Volleyball Club, helping guide various girls club programs in New Jersey to regional and national honors, including first place finishes at The Freedom Invitational and Red Lions Championship in 2004. He coached in several club and amateur organizations in the 1990s, including a volunteer position with the PAL as an athletic instructor and volleyball coach.

Prior to his coaching endeavors, Casado attended the University of Puerto Rico, where he was granted a scholarship to participate in volleyball and track & field. After collegiate competition, Casado played for various volleyball clubs in Puerto Rico, helping those developing organizations blossom into regional powers that are still strong today.

In 1994, Casado began his coaching career, working for the Borinquen Coquis Volleyball Club as a coach for the 13-14 boys team. That year, his team was representing Puerto Rico at the Junior Olympics in San Jose, California, where they won the silver medal.

Entering her second season as Assistant Coach, Scott, a 2006 graduate of Georgian Court University, captained the team to its first CACC playoff appearance in 2005.   Scotts senior campaign culminated with 248 kills which was good enough for second on the team.  During the 2005-06 season, Scott was also ranked 5th nationally in Division II Volleyball for blocks with a team high 49 blocks.

Scott's served as President of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee in 2005.  Additionally, she was named MVP for the 2005-2006 season and was also nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year by the CACC.  In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Scott graduated Cum Laude in May 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Secondary Education. 

Scott will have no trouble making the transition from player to coach, as she has had experience outside of Georgian Court coaching girls 15-18 years old in the Jersey Shore Volleyball Club.  Scott coached her team to its first appearance at the East Coast Championships in 2006 at Penn State University.  Scott was thrilled with GCU capturing the 2006 CACC Volleyball Championship title and making their first appearance at the NCAA Division II Regional Tournament.

Scott is currently pursuing a Masters of Education degree from GCU.
