Former Louisiana Tech volleyball player Gabryel Ording enters her fifth season as an assistant coach on the LA Tech coaching staff after rejoining the Lady Techsters in 2013. "Ording has been instrumental in reenergizing our recruiting plan and outreach," head coach Adriano de Souza said. "Her understanding of what our university can offer both academically and as a volleyball program has been very valuable in the process of reaching out to prospective student-athletes." Over the past three seasons at Louisiana Tech, Ording has helped manufacture a revival of the Louisiana Tech volleyball program serving both as an assistant coach and a recruiting coordinator. When Ording joined the volleyball program in 2013, the Lady Techsters were coming off of a three-win season and have improved in total wins in every year since. In 2015, Ording helped guide Louisiana Tech to more conference wins than in the previous four seasons combined. Improved success has not just come on the court but in the classroom. Following the 2015 season, five Lady Techsters were named to the Conference USA Commissioners Academic Honor Roll and one, Jacie McClure, was selected to the 2015 Conference USA All-Academic Team. "Ording has a great sports mind," de Souza continued. "She has a very intelligent way of coaching our players and her approach has helped to significantly improve their game performance." Ording completed her senior season and earned her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech in kinesiology in November 2012 and a master's degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Sports Performance in 2015. Over the course of her time at Louisiana Tech, Ording lettered all four years and was also the volleyball program representative in the SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee). "While a student-athlete at Louisiana Tech, Ording was not only always prepared for all the practices and matches she competed in, but she was also a leader who contributed to the organization and development of the program on and off the court and she has continued to do this as an assistant coach," added de Souza.
