ATHERTON, CA -- Menlo College Athletics is proud to announce that Ali'i Keohohou has been appointed as Head Men's Volleyball Coach. Keohohou brings more than a decade of coaching experience in NCAA Division I, Division II, and international programs, with a proven record of building championship teams and developing student-athletes on and off the court.
 

Keohohou most recently served as Associate Head Coach at Loyola University Chicago, where the Ramblers captured a MIVA regular season championship in 2023 and advanced to the MIVA semifinals in 2024. During his time at Loyola, multiple Ramblers earned AVCA All America honors for their performances on the national stage.
 

Before Loyola, Keohohou led the men's volleyball program at the University of Mount Olive from 2018 to 2022. He was named Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year in 2021, guiding the Trojans to their first regular season title since 2013 and back-to-back appearances in the Conference Carolinas Championship finals in 2021 and 2022. Under his leadership, student-athletes earned multiple all conference awards, including league Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors.
 

As a player, Keohohou starred at Cal State Northridge, where he set the program's single season digs record, earned All MPSF honors, and competed during the Matadors' 2010 NCAA Final Four run. Following his collegiate career, he contributed internationally as a player-coach in the United Kingdom. He also served on the USA Volleyball National Team Development Program staff, and he looks forward to continuing his contributions to the USA Olympic movement ahead of LA28.
 

"Ali'i is a culture builder," said Keith Spataro, Vice President for Athletics at Menlo College. "He has shown the ability to win at the highest levels, develop talent the right way, and lead with both humility and competitive fire. Most importantly, he puts student-athletes at the center of every decision. We are thrilled to welcome him to Menlo College, and are confident in the future of Oaks Men's Volleyball under his leadership."
 

"I am honored to join the Menlo College community and excited to lead the Men's Volleyball program," said Keohohou. "Menlo's commitment to academic excellence and student-athlete development aligns with my values. I look forward to building on that tradition and helping our student-athletes grow on the court, in the classroom, and in life."
 

Keohohou will transition from Southern California over the coming weeks, and will assume full responsibility as Menlo College's Head Men's Volleyball Coach on October 1, 2025.
