After spending one year as the UW-Oshkosh men's volleyball Division II head coach, Alex Harty (2014-2017) will pace the sidelines for the Division I team during the 2019 season. He will also serve as the Titans program director. Harty replaces Will Brydon who stepped down at the end of 2018 to dedicate more time to his family.
“Coaching last year for UW-Oshkosh was an incredible experience," said Harty. "From the daily practices, long drives, and challenging tournaments the program and teams become like a family. When you join this family you also add to a long list of decorated and accomplished alumni. I am very excited about this season and the opportunities for the continued success of this program. It is a privilege to help continue to grow the UW-Oshkosh volleyball family.”
Last season Harty mentored the Division II team to the Wisconsin Volleyball Conference regular season title and state championship; as well as an appearance in the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation Division III national semi-finals.

He also coached at Winneconne High School for three years in different roles before becoming head coach.
As a player for UW-Oshkosh, Harty was a member of the 2015 NCVF Division III national runner-up team and the 2016 and 2017 fifth-place teams. From 2015-2017 the teams also won the WVC Division II regular season and state championship titles.
Individual accolades included being named the 2014 WVC Division II Libero of the Year, a 2014 and 2016 WVC Division II First Team selection and a 2014 and 2016 placement on the WVC State Championship All-Tournament team. He was a 2017 team captain.
