DURHAM, N.C. – Nicki Holmes has resigned as head women’s volleyball coach at North Carolina Central University to accept the role as an assistant women’s volleyball coach at North Carolina State University.

NCCU assistant coach Jennifer Charles will serve as interim head coach until the full-time head coaching vacancy is filled.

“I am saddened by the early departure of Coach Holmes; however, he has done a tremendous job in the rebuilding of our volleyball program over the past year-and-a-half,” said NCCU Director of Athletics Dr. Ingrid Wicker McCree. “I am confident in Coach Charles’ ability to guide our program until a permanent head coach is named.”

The search process for a new head volleyball coach will begin immediately.
