Penny Tusa is in her first season at Cal State Bakersfield heading into Fall of 2023. She serves the Roadrunners as an assistant coach of the indoor squad.
Tusa was a five-year impact student-athlete for the Washington State Cougars on the way to becoming the program's all-time aces leader. She graduated in 2021 after completing her most effective season while helping the Cougars to a 20-12 record and the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
After wrapping up her collegiate career, Tusa moved to Texas where she has been a Graduate Assistant Coach for Texas Women's University. She has also gained valuable experience coaching with the Texas Advantage Volleyball Club, a highly-competitive travel club.
Just this past November, Tusa was a 2022 recipient of the AVCA Diversity Award. She was one of "18 up-and-coming leaders" invited to attend the annual AVCA convention in Omaha, Neb. to participate in educational seminars and relationship-building experiences.
