Panorama announced it will be hiring a new head volleyball coach for next season. The Panthers were previously being led by Mollie Lint.

“It wasn’t an easy decision to leave the girls or the program, but I wish the girls nothing but the best of luck and success in their future seasons. I’ll always be cheering them on from the sideline,” Lint said.

Lint had been in charge of the program since 2022-2023. The Panthers were 33-74 under Lint but saw consistent improvement in each of her years, starting at five wins and eventually leading to back-to-back double-digit-win seasons the last two years.
