Interim Head Coach: Noah Marasco-Ayau Noah Marasco-Ayau brings a new perspective to Morningside’s men’s volleyball program, leading the program as the first coach to have played at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics level.

He also has a wealth of experience coaching, having held positions at the club and high school levels.

Marasco-Ayau spent his playing career in the blue and gold of Briar Cliff, spending time on the floor as a defensive specialist and pairing his playing time with strong academic involvement, landing on the BCU Dean’s List, the Athletic Director’s honor roll, and serving in an editor role of the Briar Cliff Review in both 2019 and 2020.

On the court, Marasco-Ayau tallied 872 digs, 172 assists, and 28 service aces, averaging 2.84 digs per game.

He was named to the 2019 and 2020 American Midwest/Great Plains/Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference all-conference first team, taking the title of Libero of the Year in 2019, the final year it was offered, and second team honors in 2018.
