Angie Oxley Behrens returns for her 23rd season at Creighton, and second as associate head coach. Behrens is the longest-tenured assistant coach in Creighton’s Volleyball history and a key factor in the program’s run of 11 consecutive regular-season BIG EAST titles and 13 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament.
In 2019, Behrens was recognized as AVCA National Assistant Coach of the Year and was also part of the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year after helping the Bluejays to a sixth straight league title.
Behrens works closely with CU’s outside hitters and servers while assisting with scouting and recruiting. Behrens also helps to organize Creighton’s volleyball camps.
The Bluejays enter 2025 having been ranked for 125 of the past 131 Top 25 weekly polls, and have been ranked at some point during each of the past 13 seasons. The last 22 years have seen the Creighton team compile its top 17 single-season kill totals all-time, as well as the top 12 individual single-season marks.
Behrens has trained 12 outside hitters to a combined 26 all-conference honors. That group includes 2024 Olympian Taryn Kloth, 2018 BIG EAST Player of the Year and four-time All-American Jaali Winters, 2019 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Keeley Davis, 2022 BIG EAST Player of the Year Norah Sis and 2022 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Ava Martin. All have spent time with USA Volleyball since becoming Bluejays, with Kloth, Winters and Sis all playing professionally.
Behrens has helped Creighton go 502-192 in her 22 seasons on the bench, including NCAA Tournament wins in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 (2), 2016 (3), 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023 (2) and 2024 (3).
A four-year starter at Nebraska, Behrens won three Big 12 titles, was named 1997 Big 12 Freshman of the Year and was chosen as the University’s female student-athlete of the year in 2001 after leading the Cornhuskers to a 34-0 mark and a national title in the fall of 2000 as a senior. She closed her career as NU’s all-time digs leader with 1,086.
In the classroom, Behrens was a Chancellor’s Scholar and four-time Highest Honors Distinction Medal honoree. She also was a four-year academic All-Big 12 selection, a recipient of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and one of
10 finalists for the 2001 NCAA Woman of the Year. She was also a member of the Mortar Board Honor Society, Pi Lambda Theta Honor Society, Golden Key, 2000 Homecoming Royalty Court and the Dean’s List.
Behrens and her husband Matt reside in Lincoln with their kids, Logan (15) and Hattie (12).
