Chad Schreiber
Head Coach

Chad Schreiber is in his 13th year with Lakeland College. Currently, he serves as the head coach for both the women's and men's volleyball programs.

Upon arriving at Lakeland, Coach Schreiber turned a 4-22 women's volleyball program into a perennial winner, and established the college's first men's club volleyball team a year later. Due to his efforts, Schreiber has been named the Women's Lake Michigan Conference Coach of the Year the past two seasons. He was also chosen to coach the 2003 Wisconsin Volleyball Conference All-Star Team at USAV Nationals for the men.

The women's volleyball program's steady climb was capped with back-to-back Lake Michigan Conference Championships in 2001 and 2002, the Muskies first since 1986. In addition Lakeland made their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2002 with an impressive 32-5 mark. Furthermore, the Muskies finished 12-0 in 2002, and became the first team in conference history to win every game of every conference match. The program has made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, had 7 consecutive 20-win seasons, and has won the National Team Award for Academic Excellence four times.

Schreiber has also guided the men's club volleyball team to national prominence by winning conference and state championships in the program's second year. Six straight Top 25 national ranking seasons, including four straight Top 10 finishes, have the Muskies as one of the most recognized club teams in the country. The Muskies had their highest finishes in 2003 and 2007, finishing as national runner-up at the national championships.

Prior to Lakeland, Schreiber coached collegiately as an assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan in 1990 and 1991. In 1991, the team won the state junior college championship. From 1993-1995 he served at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh as assistant coach for women's volleyball, and head coach for men's club volleyball from 1994-1995. The women's team placed second in the 1994 NCAA Championships, and the men finished 1994 ranked 9th nationally. Schreiber also was an All-Conference setter for the men's program. Other coaching experience includes the Lakeland Attack Volleyball Club and extensive summer camp experiences.

A Sheboygan Falls native, Schreiber currently resides in Plymouth with wife Stephanie, daughter Logan (6) and twins Cameron and Carter (3). He graduated in 1995 from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with a sports management major and business minor. In 1999 he received his master's of education degree from Lakeland College.

Sarah Dehring
Assistant Coach

Dehring begins her first season as a graduate assistant coach with the Lakeland volleyball staff.

As member of the women's volleyball team at Division II powerhouse Ferris State University (Mich.), from 1999-2001, the former defensive specialist brings both on-court and coaching experience to the Muskies. Due to various injuries throughout her collegiate career, the Mackinac Island, Mich., native became an assistant coach for the Bulldogs during her last two years at Ferris State, helping lead the team to an NCAA Region Quarterfinal berth in 2002.

Dehring also had a successful playing career at Mackinac Island High School, helping the team to four league championships. She garnered All-Northern Lights Conference selections each of her four years and was voted the team's Most Valuable Player three times.

After completing her bachelor's degree in elementary education at Ferris State in 2004, Dehring returned to her high school alma mater to serve as head volleyball coach and head track coach for the 2006-2007 school year. She then coached Lakers' volleyball team to their first district finals since her senior season.

She has also worked as an elementary school teacher at Salida Del Sol Elementary School in Yuma, Ariz., working with second graders. She was an assistant volleyball coach for Arizona Western College, helping coach the team to a regional championship.

Dehring is working toward her master's of arts degree in counseling.
