Katelyn Beaubrook '15 returns to her alma mater as the head women's volleyball coach beginning with the fall 2026 season.
Beaubrook most recently served as an assistant coach with Brown University women's volleyball. While at Brown, she helped guide the Bears to a .588 winning percentage, and back-to-back berths to the Ivy League Tournament. She also coached the two-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and eight All-Ivy selections.
"We are all very excited to welcome Katelyn back to Salve," said Salve Regina director of athletics, Dr. Sean Sullivan. "It is always rewarding to see an alum choosing to return to our campus to lead the next generation of Seahawk student-athletes. This return speaks not only to how much Salve must mean to Coach Beaubrook, but it also promotes a very special narrative. Katelyn has coached at highly successful Division III programs, has experience within the NEWMAC, and has worked with student-athletes of the highest academic and athletic caliber. She is uniquely qualified to lead our program and create this next chapter of Seahawk volleyball."
Beaubrook graduated from Salve Regina with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and went on to earn her master's in athletic counseling from NEWMAC rival Springfield College in 2017. As a Seahawk, she was instrumental in the program earning its first-ever ECAC New England Championship in 2014. Throughout her Salve playing career, Beaubrook garnered three All-Conference Team honors and four All-Academic Team Honors.
In 2014, Beaubrook was named the Rhode Island Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Distinguished Athlete of the Year and was awarded the Salve Regina Chris Kiernan Scholar-Athlete Award, presented to the senior athlete with the highest GPA.
