Liz Kritza, whose brother Ted Kritza (A&S ex’96) played for the �鶹��Ѱ�����basketball team in the 1990s, was hired as the Buffs’ head volleyball coach in February, replacing Pi’i Aiu (DistSt ex’89).

The Colorado Springs native took over the �鶹��Ѱ�����program after four seasons as head coach at her alma mater, Tulane, which in 2008 qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time. Kritza signed a five-year contract.

Kritza, 31, had a 76-39 record at Tulane, which went 28-6 each of the last two seasons.
“I remember the days when �鶹��Ѱ�����was at the top of the conference and played deep into the (NCAA) tournament,” says Kritza, who competed for the Boulder Volleyball Club in the mid-1990s. “That’s my idea of Colorado volleyball.”
