PEORIA, Ill. -- After leading Bradley Volleyball to consecutive top-four Missouri Valley Conference finishes, fourth-year head coach Carol Price-Torok was recently featured as one of VolleyballMag.com's 40 Under 40 Coaching Hotshots.

Taking over a program which won 30 MVC games in the 10 years combined prior to her arrival at Bradley, she has led the Braves to 29 league wins in her four years on The Hilltop. In 2018, she led Bradley to its best conference finish (3rd) since 2001 and the 24-9 season was the second largest turnaround (+14 wins) in the country.

During the recently completed 2019 season, the 38-year old Price-Torok had a team primarily made of freshmen and sophomores and led them to a fourth-place conference finish as the Braves had back-to-back seasons with 11 or more Valley wins for just the second time in school history and first time since the 2001 & 2002 campaigns.

Bradley has ranked in the top 11 in the nation in digs per set in each of the past three seasons, including ranking second nationally in both 2018 and 2019.

The 2018 MVC Coach of the Year has mentored four First-Team All-MVC selections during her time at Bradley, which is equal to Bradley's total of first-team all-conference picks from 2003-16. In addition, Hannah Thompson was named the 2018 MVC Freshman of the Year and the Braves have produced a pair of First-Team CoSIDA Academic All-District V honorees.
