CALIFORNIA (Aug. 11) – A former three-time All-PSAC West selection, Mackenzie Greene was announced as the assistant coach for the California (PA) volleyball program on Monday morning.

Greene, formerly Mackenzie Biggs, was a standout at Clarion from 2013-16 and helped the Golden Eagles register back-to-back 30-win seasons. She earned All-PSAC West honors in each of her last three seasons, highlighted by first-team laurels as a junior.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mackenzie to our volleyball program. Her energy is infectious, and she brings a wealth of experience from within the PSAC that will immediately elevate our program," said second-year head coach Audrey Emerich. "Mackenzie's passion for developing student-athletes—both as players and as people—aligns perfectly with our vision. She's a competitor, a leader and someone who will make an immediate impact as we continue to build the program."

Greene finished her career with 900-plus kills and almost 300 blocks, as Clarion made three-consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the 2015 PSAC Championship. The Golden Eagles finished first in the divisional standings in both her freshman and sophomore campaigns with 20 league victories each year and later advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Greene established career highs in kills, blocks and points as a junior while helping the program play in the finals of the PSAC Tournament for the second time in six years.

"I'm very excited about the opportunity Coach Emerich is giving me at California. The Vulcans have always had a competitive program and I'm eager to assist in continuing to build on that success," said Greene. "I'm passionate about this sport and thankful for the opportunity to support the team as the build confidence, embrace challenges and develop as student-athletes."

Following her collegiate career, Greene has coached at the scholastic and club levels around the Pittsburgh area. She recently completed two years as the head coach at Chartiers Valley following a tenure at Fort Cherry. Additionally, Greene has worked as the director and coach at Sky Elite Volleyball Club in Pittsburgh since 2021.

Greene was a two-sport athlete at the scholastic level, as she played volleyball and basketball at Hopewell. The Vikings won the WPIAL Class 2A Championship in 2011 before finishing as the runners-up the following year.
