Garcia Ramser has completed his first season as an assistant coach for the Canisius volleyball program, being an integral part of the Golden Griffins’ accomplishment in repeating their second-place conference finish from the previous year.
Â
In his first season on Main Street, Ramser helped to revamp the video coordination of the Griffs during a 12-6 record in the MAAC, while also playing a role in the development of the team’s four All-MAAC recipients, including the emergence of freshmen Bree Long and Ella Loussia into MAAC All-Rookie selections.
Â
Ramser came to the Golden Griffins from Quincy University, where he served as a graduate assistant for the men’s volleyball program during the 2018-19 season. In his one season with the Hawks, he helped Omari Wheeler and Noam Hannoun earn All-Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association honors.
Â
Before Quincy, Ramser spent four years as an undergraduate student manager for the Pittsburgh women’s volleyball program. He also was the coach of the men’s club volleyball team during his final two years with the Pitt Panthers, being named the 2018 National Collegiate Volleyball Federation Men’s Division I Coach of the Year. In those two years, the men’s team finished ninth and 33rd nationally with Ramser at the helm.
Â
Prior to his time with the Pitt men’s club team, Ramser was the head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach with the Montour High School volleyball program.
Â
A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Ramser graduated in 2018 from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering. He is in the process of earning his master’s degree in educational leadership from Quincy University.
