Doug English, who served as an assistant coach with the University of Delaware women's volleyball program the past two seasons, has been named the new head coach at NCAA II Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho.

"This is a great opportunity for Doug," said Delaware head coach Bonnie Kenny. "He has paid his dues as an assistant coach and it is time for him to lead the NNU program. I would like to thank Doug for his loyalty and dedication to the UD volleyball program and wish he and his wife Mindy nothing but great success in all of their future endeavors.”

A search to replace English will begin immediately.

During his two seasons in Newark, English helped Delaware continue its outstanding success as the Blue Hens posted a combined record of 37-27

Prior to coming to Delaware, English served as an assistant coach at George Washington University for two seasons in 2009-10, leading the Colonials to an Atlantic 10 Tournament berth in 2009.

The La Crescenta, Calif. native has also served as an assistant coach at Boise State, Fordham, and Loyola Marymount. He is a 2004 graduate of Cal State Northridge where he was a four-year starter and a 2003 All-American libero.
