The 2018 campaign marks the seventh on staff for alum Erin Green (Joki), who returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach prior to the 2012 season.  Green is a former standout player for UND and returned to campus after spending a season on the bench with the Grand Forks Central volleyball program (junior varsity head coach/varsity assistant).

Green has helped guide UND to a pair of Big Sky regular season titles (2013, 2016), two league tourney title (2016, 2017) and the school's first two NCAA Division I Tournament appearances. UND has compiled a 140-68 overall (.673) record and 75-29 Big Sky (.721) mark in her six seasons on the UND bench.  

Green played in over 100 matches in her career at UND (2007-2010) and registered 707 kills in her four seasons for the Green and White. She racked-up 855.0 total points scored, a mark that sits 10th in UND's record books for points scored in the rally era.  The 5-foot-11 product of Grand Rapids, Minn. was named the 2010 Great West Conference Player of the Year after a superb senior campaign.  She hit .283 with a career-best 310 kills, leading UND to back-to-back GWC regular season and tournament titles (2009, 2010).
