February 12, 2025 | Volleyball
STARKVILLE – Head coach Julie Darty Dennis announced the addition of Michael Bouril to the Mississippi State volleyball staff on Wednesday.
Â
Bouril heads to Starkville after spending the past five seasons on staff at Purdue, including the past two as an assistant coach. The Boilermakers made the NCAA Tournament in each of those five years, extending its current NCAA Tournament appearance streak to nine, the program's longest streak. Purdue ended two of those seasons in the NCAA Regional Finals and earned a record of 113-41 during that time.
Â
"We are thrilled to have Michael join our staff," Dennis said. "As I got to know him throughout the process, his passion for our sport was obvious. Michael is going to bring experience from the Big Ten into our program and help us compete in the best conference in the country. I am so excited to work alongside Michael and welcome him to the family!"
Â
During his time at Purdue, Bouril's players have earned eight different AVCA and Volleyball Magazine honors. He has also accumulated 17 AVCA All-Region Honors, including 12 first team honors. Most recently, Raven Colvin and Eva Hudson earned AVCA All-American Honors, with Hudson being named the AVCA Midwest Region Player of the Year.
Â
Statistically, Purdue hit .280 as a team last season, the third-best mark in program history. It ranked 15th in the nation and fourth in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers also ranked eighth in the nation in assists per set (13.29) and kills per set (14.26), while ranking ninth in blocks per set (2.80).
