Notes:
Women's volleyball at Springfield College officially began in 1971. That first year they went 5-5-0 and were coached by Barbara L. Viera. Tom Hay coached men’s and women’s volleyball at Springfield College and was posthumously inducted into the YMCA Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2008. Tom Hay received both his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Indiana University, where he served as the captain of the tennis team. After graduation, he played and coached volleyball in numerous YMCAs in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. In 1966 Hay joined Springfield College, where he coached volleyball for twenty-two years. His overall record during that time was 675-286-20 for an impressive 69.8 winning percentage. Coach Hay received the EIVA “Coach” Emeritus Award in June 1987 for his “lifetime commitment to the sport of volleyball.” He was the New England “Coach of the Year” five times in men’s volleyball and Eastern “Coach of the Year” in 1972 and 1974. In October 2007, Tom was inducted posthumously into the Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame. A noted clinician, Coach Hay traveled to such places as Aruba, Germany, and Sri Lanka to help train coaches and teach skill classes.
