Todd Kress Head Coach • Fifth Season Cincinnati ‘92 Todd Kress begins his fifth season as head coach of the UB Volleyball team, leading the Bulls to their first two MAC Tournament Quarterfinal performances. Kress has won 310 matches as a head coach and has led three teams to the NCAA Tournament, while coaching a trio of All-Americans. Last season, the Bulls fought youth and injuries, but placed Liz Scott on the All-MAC Second Team, just the second ever All-MAC Second Team selection, both coming under Kress. The Bulls won both in-season tournaments that they hosted in 2012, including a 3-0 sweep of Syracuse to win the Blue and White Classic. In 2011, Kress coached one of the youngest teams in the nation as he had 13 freshmen and sophomores on the squad. He still managed to lead the Bulls to double figures in victories for the third straight year and helped place Liz Scott onto the All-MAC Freshman team. Kress also picked up his 300th career victory as the Bulls defeated Bowling Green, 3-0, on Nov. 4. In 2010, Kress led the Bulls to an 18-16 record, its most wins in a year since 1996. The Bulls won just their second ever MAC Tournament match, defeating Akron on the road 3-0. The Bulls claimed tournament titles at both of their home tournaments during the non-conference season, doing all of this with five freshmen that he recruited to Buffalo. In Kress’ first season with the Bulls, the team posted a 16-16 record, finishing .500 or better for the first time since joining the MAC. He led UB to two preseason tournament titles and coached a player onto the Mid-American Conference All-Freshman team. Kress led the Bulls to wins against some of the MAC’s top teams, including a 3-2 win over MAC Finalist Western Michigan back in October. The Bulls also won their first ever MAC Tournament match, a 3-2 thriller on the road at Kent State, sending UB to the quarterfinals in Toledo,
