FMU is named in honor of South Carolina’s Revolutionary War hero, General Francis Marion, who was nicknamed the “Swamp Fox,” for using the terrain to out-fox the British. Located about seven miles east of Florence, in the beautiful northeast section of South Carolina, the 400-acre campus is about 90 miles from the state capital of Columbia, 60 miles from the shores of Myrtle Beach, and 180 miles from the mountains of the Carolinas.

Francis Marion University placed 100 student athletes, including nine volleyball players, on last year’s Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll (minimum 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale during the academic year), nearly half of all our student athletes. FMU also placed eight vb student-athletes on the FMU 2013 fall Swamp Fox Athletic- Academic Honor Roll, and nine on the 2014 spring honor roll.

Francis Marion University 2014 Coaching Staff Paul MacDonald - FMU Volleyball Coach Paul MacDonald, 41, is entering his ninth year as the head coach for the Francis Marion University women's volleyball program. He owns a 188-162 career coaching mark in 11 seasons, including a 139-113 record in his eight years at Francis Marion. In eight seasons, his Patriot teams have produced 11 All-Conference selections.

Last year, MacDonald directed FMU to a 21-9 overall record and the program's highest Peach Belt Conference win total (12-6 mark) in 15 seasons. The Patriots placed third during the PBC regular season and MacDonald was named the conference "Coach of the Year" for the second time. Three team members earned All-Conference honors (one AllRegion selection) and three picked up PBC All-Academic Team recognition. FMU ranked among the top 45 percent of all Division II institutions in every one of the seven national team stats categories. Heading those accomplishments was the Patriots ranking 43rd nationally in service aces per set (1.74), 52nd in won-loss percentage (.700), and 87th in assists per set (11.66).

In 2013, MacDonald guided a relatively young Patriot squad to an 18-12 overall record. The Patriots earned a fourth-place finish in the Peach Belt standings and narrowly missed earning a bid to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. Four team members also earned PBC All-Academic Team recognition. In 2011, the Patriots were 12-18 with six team members earning PBC All-Academic Team recognition. Francis Marion earned an AVCA Team Academic Award (for the third straight year) -- one of only three PBC schools to gain that honor for 2011. In 2010, FMU posted a 15-16 mark with a pair of Patriots earning All-Conference honors and two gaining PBC All-Academic recognition. The Patriot squad earned an AVCA Team Academic Award (for the second year in a row) -- one of only four PBC schools to gain that honor for 2010.

In 2008, MacDonald earned PBC "Coach of the Year" honors while guiding the Patriots to a 23-9 record and the program's third-ever NCAA Division II National Tournament invitation. FMU placed second during the PBC regular-season and advanced to the title match of the PBC Tournament. In 2007, FMU was 13-21 and placed fourth during the Peach Belt regular FMU VB Year By Year season.

Utilizing a roster that did not include any seniors, he also guided 1975 Mount Mercy to a second-place finish in the Midwest Classic Conference and to a spot in the NAIA Region 1976 15-15 Sherril York VII Tournament for the first time since 2002.

FMU 2014 Volleyball Outlook The Francis Marion University volleyball team will take the first serves of its 2014 campaign by hosting the annual FMU Invitational Tournament, Friday and Saturday (Sept. 5-6) in the Smith University Center.

The six-team event will feature play on Friday between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. and on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Admission is free. On Friday, Francis Marion will play the University of Mount Olive at 4 p.m. and Shorter University at 8 p.m. The Patriots will then play a pair of matches on Saturday afternoon: Erskine College at 1 p.m. and Mars Hill University at 5 p.m.

FMU head coach Paul MacDonald, last season’s Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year, welcomes back seven letterwinners, including two starters, from last year’s 21-9 squad that placed third during the Peach Belt regular season. The 20-win season was the first for Francis Marion since 2008 and the squad’s 12-6 conference record represented a six-win improvement over the 2012 campaign and the team’s highest PBC win total since 1998.

Returning starters include 5-9 junior hitter Alexzandra Reed and 5-10 senior middleblocker and right-side hitter Shelby Jones. Last season, Reed ranked 215th nationally in kills per set (2.89) and 219th in points per set (3.36), while Jones ranked 276th in blocks per set at 0.76. Also returning are 6-0 senior setter Sloane Shank, 5-4 junior libero and defensive specialist Brianna West, 6-2 sophomore middleblocker Caroline Boone, and 6-1 sophomore hitter Carlie Smith.

The team’s recruiting class includes junior college transfers Shelby Schindler, a 6-1 middleblocker, and Jessica Amador, a 5-7 libero and defensive specialist; Claflin University transfer Chiquita Rivers, a 5-10 hitter; and freshmen Meagan Fajman (6-1 outside hitter) and Sarah Cushing (5-9 setter).

“Expectations are high coming off last year’s successes,” said MacDonald. “Our greatest challenge is our large percentage of newcomers. We graduated a great group of seniors last season and now a new core of players must take on bigger roles. We want the incoming class to understand that they may be new to the jersey, but we are all wearing the same jersey. We have been working hard on team chemistry. This includes how the team gets along off the floor, but also how they interact on the court, especially on passing and setting.” FMU was tabbed for third in the PBC pre-season coaches’ poll.

“Defense should be a major key for this squad. We have also been working to pick up our tempo on the passing side. Practice results are important, but the players are ready to see how that translates to actual game action.

“We are looking for a big year from Alexzandra, who was second on the squad in kills last year as a sophomore. Carlie has moved from the middle to the right side and has excelled in practice, while Sloane returns for her fourth season and will look to get a chance to lead us from the setter position.” Shank made four starts in 2013. “We are also excited about the play of Jessica on the defensive side of the net.”

In 2013, FMU ranked among the top 45 percent of all Division II institutions in every one of the seven team statistical categories. Heading those accomplishments was the Patriots ranking 43rd nationally in service aces per set (1.74), 52nd in won-loss percentage (.700), and 87th in assists per set (11.66). In each of those categories, FMU ranked second among PBC schools.

The Patriots’ 2014 schedule includes 14 home dates among the squad’s 28 matches. In eight seasons at Francis Marion, MacDonald owns a 139113 record, while his career mark stands at 188-162.
