Pascucci is now faced with the challenge of recruiting and building the brand–new program.
“I’ll be looking for interested players, seeing what level they’re at to begin with, and setting goals for the years to come.”
Pascucci comes to Gavilan with extensive club volleyball coaching experience.
Since 2001, she has coached for the San Jose–based Club Yahoo! Volleyball Club.
Pascucci also has been involved with the Vision Volleyball Club in Los Gatos, the Cal Junior Volleyball Club in Norwalk and the Spartan Volleyball Club in San Jose.
As a player at SJSU, Pascucci earned first team All–WAC honors in 2002 and made the Western Athletic Conference All–Tournament team in 2001.
