Karyssa Swackenberg is entering her second season as a graduate assistant for the Indiana Tech men's volleyball program. During her first season with the Warriors, the teams first since 1972, Tech went 10-12 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the rest of the season.
Prior to joining the Warriors coaching staff, Swackenberg was a standout on the court for Rutgers University, compiling 1,299 digs, 240 assists and 83 service aces over four years for the Scarlett Knights. She finished her career third on the all-time digs list at Rutgers and earned Academic All Big-Ten honors as a senior.
