"We are really excited about welcoming Camryn to the Bomber family," Dulfer said regarding the hire. "Her background as a highly decorated middle at Springfield, along with the experience on coach Moira Long's staff will serve her well and I expect she'll hit the ground running in Ithaca. Camryn's infectious energy and desire to help make our program the best it can be, was clear from the moment she set foot on campus, and I'm thrilled to start working with her this spring."
As Dulfer mentioned, Bancroft is no stranger to the game as she served as the assistant volleyball coach at her alma mater since January 2022. She was also a volleyball coach at Charlie Sullivan Camp in Western Massachusetts & Long Island, where she assisted in running high school volleyball camps with distinguished men's volleyball coach, Charlie Sullivan, this past summer.
