Alesha Wilson Hired as Volleyball Assistant Coach

HANOVER, N.H. – Head volleyball coach Gilad Doron has announced the hiring of Alesha Wilson as an assistant coach ahead of the upcoming 2021 season.

"I am excited to add Alesha to our program," Doron said. "She has the desire to learn and grow as a coach. Alesha will bring great energy and passion to our program. I am looking forward to her teaming with Brandon to lead our recruiting effort, while helping our middles improve. She has a great academic reputation, which is always important when working to help shape young student-athletes in a rigorous academic environment like Dartmouth."

Wilson completed her graduate assistant position at the University of Dallas in 2021. During her time there, the Crusaders went 40-46 overall with two fourth place finishes in the conference, making it to the post-season each year. She also coached for one season as an undergraduate assistant at her alma mater, North Carolina State in 2015, helping the Wolfpack go 16-16 that fall.

"It is a great honor to join the Dartmouth family," Wilson said. "I owe a huge thank you to Tiffani-Dawn Sykes for this opportunity to work alongside and learn from Coach Doron. The best is yet to come and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the development of not only great athletes, but excellent people in this extraordinary academic environment. I'm incredibly thankful to the Dallas athletic department for reigniting my passion for the sport and my development as a collegiate coach."

Wilson graduated from North Carolina State in 2014 and was a four-year member of the Wolfpack volleyball team. As a sophomore, she was second on the team in total blocks and fourth in total attacks, helping the team make its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1987. Wilson went on to earn her bachelor of science in chemical and biomolecular engineering with a Spanish minor in 2016 and her master of leadership in 2021.
