Andrew Fischer enters his second season as director of volleyball operations with the Bears in 2022.
Fischer spent the previous two years as a graduate assistant coach at Springfield College where he worked closely with the setters and offensive system. Working under legendary head coach, Charlie Sullivan, the winningest coach in Division III men's volleyball history, the Pride led the country in hitting percentage in 2020 and finished third in hitting percentage in 2021.
During his time at Springfield, Fischer coached five All-Americans, including Brennen Brandow and Jarrett Anderson, the 2020 AVCA Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, respectively. Brandow and Anderson both received First team All-American honors in 2021, while the team compiled a 24-3 record due to COVID-19 shortened seasons. Springfield spent several weeks ranked No. 1 in the AVCA coaches poll.
Prior to Springfield, Fischer spent four seasons with the Ohio State volleyball program as a manager and technical coordinator. He helped the Buckeyes to Sweet Sixteen appearances in 2015 and 2016 while overseeing DataVolley and VolleyMetrics software for the program. Fischer also played for the Ohio State men's club volleyball team.
Fischer graduated from Springfield in 2021 with a Master of Education in Advanced-Level Coaching after earning his Bachelor of Science in education at OSU.
