Assistant coach Lynnette Moster
Northern Illinois University assistant volleyball coach Lynnette Moster will be inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame, the school announced Thursday.
Moster will officially be inducted in a ceremony in Atlanta on Friday, Oct. 10.
“I am honored to be joining such a prestigious group of Georgia Tech alumni in the Hall of Fame,” Moster said. “Thank you to the Hall of Fame Committee for nominating and selecting me for this amazing award. My experience as a Yellow Jacket was extraordinary because of such a wonderful team, staff and student-athlete support system. Without the positive experience at Georgia Tech, I would not be where I am today as a collegiate volleyball coach at NIU. I hope to assist with giving the Huskies the same positive experience I had as a Yellow Jacket and more.”
Moster was a three-time All-America outside hitter in her four seasons with the Yellow Jackets, becoming the first three-time All-American in Atlantic Coast Conference history. She was also named ACC Player of the Year following the 2004 season.
Assistant Coach Lynnette Moster works with junior Alexis Gonzalez.
