NASHVILLE- Tennessee State University head volleyball coach Donika Sutton received a three-year extension to her contract. Last season, Sutton, whose team was picked last in the preseason, led the Tigers to an Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship win, which earned them a berth in the Ohio State Regional. This was their second overall trip to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament and first since the 2007 season. The Tigers' 19 wins were almost the most since 2007.

"Feeling appreciated and valued was my top priority," said Sutton. "I am excited to continue to build and work with the program. We have a strong culture here, and I love the direction that we are going. I am excited for the future of Tiger Volleyball."
