Jacquie Cason joined the Truman State University volleyball staff in 2026 as Assistant Coach, bringing a diverse coaching background spanning multiple levels of collegiate volleyball and a deep connection to the Missouri and Midwest recruiting landscape.
Cason came to Kirksville after serving as Head Volleyball Coach at Missouri University of Science and Technology from March 2024 through December 2025. As the program's only full-time coach, she recruited 13 athletes in two years, developed three GLVC Players of the Week, and guided a freshman middle blocker who led the entire conference in blocks per set during the 2025 season. She also recruited corporate sponsors, organized a preseason tournament, and presented at the American Volleyball Coaches Association Convention on the use of personality testing in recruiting and team building.
Prior to Missouri S&T, Cason spent nearly three years as Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Northwest Missouri State, where she served as the primary contact for prospective student-athletes, helped balance the program budget, and developed team blocking schemes that contributed to the Bearcats' success. She also served as Camp Director at Northwest Missouri State, organizing and hosting more than 300 campers annually. Additional coaching stops include Eastern Illinois University, Nicholls State University, Texas A&M Commerce, and Sacred Heart Academy, where she was part of a staff that captured the 2016 Kentucky State Championship.
Beyond her on-court coaching work, Cason has served on the AVCA Assistant Coaches Committee and has been a Lead Coach for the EXACT Volleyball Showcase Camp program in the Midwest region since 2021, working with college coaches on drill selection, timing, and player evaluation.
A former collegiate athlete, Cason competed as a volleyball player at the University of Texas at El Paso, where she earned Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll recognition every semester of her career and accumulated more than 250 hours of community service, earning the UTEP Director of Athletics Community Service Team Award four times. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UTEP and a Master's in Applied Health Science from Northwest Missouri State, where she graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
