Volleyball

Jennifer Addison is in her fifth season as head coach of the Mercy College women's volleyball team. She coached Mercy to the conference playoffs in each of her first three seasons and to the NCAA Division II Tournament in 2004 and 2005. The latest trip to the NCAA Tournament was Mercy's fifth appearance in a seven season span.

Prior to her current stint at the helm, Coach Addison has had a long and successful relationship with Mercy College. When she came to Mercy as a student in the fall of 1991 - then going by the name Jennifer Hunter - Mercy was near the bottom of New York Collegiate Athletic Conference. Along with some other arrivals from her native country of Jamaica, Jen was a key component in improving the program's fortunes.

During her four playing years, she was a NYCAC All-Conference selection and established herself as one of the premier setters in the league. Her playing days were followed by a turn on the sidelines, as she served as an assistant under Coach Pierre for five years.

She earned her undergraduate degree from Mercy in 1996, graduating Cum Laude with honors in public accounting and business administration. Coach Addison went on to earn a Master's Degree in Human Resource Management and she is now employed in the college's payroll office.
