Stephanie Kines finished her first season on the men's volleyball coaching staff in 2020. She previously assisted on the women’s volleyball staff in 2015.
In 2020, the Knights played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country, as the squad took on several top-15 teams in the nation and were ranked 10th in the nation by AVCA entering the year. Arcadia produced an 11-10 overall record and a 3-2 mark in conference contests before the MAC canceled the remainder of spring seasons on March 16. Despite the season being cut short, senior Austin Braas led all of NCAA Division III in hitting percentage for the second-consecutive season en route to earning AVCA All-East Region and First-team All-America honors.
Kines was a three-time First-Team AVCA All-American (2004-06) middle blocker and two-time National Champion as a member of the women’s volleyball program at Juniata College, where she finished her career as one of the program’s all-time leaders in blocks (413) and kills (1,519). Kines was named the 2003 AVCA Mid-Atlantic Region Freshman of the Year and went on to be named the 2006 AVCA Player of the Year after totaling 373 kills and 105 blocks while hitting .425 for the season.
Kines helped lead the Eagles three straight appearances in the NCAA Division III national championship match from 2004-06. She helped them capture their first-ever national championship in 2004, and led Juniata to its second national title two years later.
A 2007 Juniata graduate, Kines has coached both club and high school volleyball teams in the Baltimore area, working closely with middle hitters and blockers.
