When Jon Bingesser drove down the hill heading into the north side of Alva, he knew that this is where he wanted to be.
“When the NWOSU position opened up, I thought, this is the opportunity, this is the move, this is the right time and I’m really excited to start this new journey,” Bingesser said.
Bingesser is the new head coach for the Northwestern volleyball team, and while he has only been on campus for a short time, he was immediately thrown into a scrimmage against Southwestern and Southern Nazarene.
“I’m so impressed with the amount of stuff we’ve been able to condense in just four days and turn around and apply it to our scrimmage on Saturday,” Bingesser said.
Bingesser previously coached at Highland Community College in Highland, Kansas. In his seven years there, Bingesser composed a record of 165-59, as well as a conference record of 41-16.
Bingesser also has coaching experience on the high school level, as he coached at Salina South, Hoisington and Arma High School.
The home opener for volleyball is on September 13, when the Lady Rangers take on of Southern Nazarene at 7 p.m. inside Percefull Fieldhouse.
