Bryan Carvalho has been hired as the assistant volleyball coach at Lee University after two years as the lead assistant at Azusa Pacific, and his wife, Haleigh, will be a graduate assistant. "Lee University volleyball is so blessed to get both Bryan and Haleigh," Lady Flames coach Andrea Hudson said in a Lee release. "Bryan has a very successful coaching background in California. His knowledge of DII and expertise in skill teaching will be invaluable. The icing on the cake is his wife Haleigh. She played at such a high level, and fresh out of college she will bring some fresh ideas as well to our team." Bryan worked in 2014 at Cal State Bakersfield, which came within one win of a berth in the NCAA Division I tournament. Haleigh played at Long Beach State and Clemson, winding up as an All-American with 1,002 collegiate kills. She was on staff last season at Irving Valley College.
