BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Former Texas A&M volleyball libero Camila Gomez returns to Aggieland to serve as the team's volunteer assistant coach starting this spring, head coach Laura "Bird" Kuhn announced on Wednesday.
Â
"We're ecstatic to have Camila back in Aggieland," Kuhn said. "She had such an impact as a player here, and now she comes back with even more life experiences to share with the team. Camila's mentorship is going to be good for our players."
Â
The Cali, Colombia, native played one season at Texas A&M, starting in all 31 matches for the Aggies in 2019. For her success on the court, Gomez was placed on the 2019 American Volleyball Coaches Association South All-Region Team. She holds the record for digs (23) in a three-set match, while her 470 digs in 2019 rank fifth in program history in a single season.
Â
Most recently, Gomez won a silver medal with the Colombia women's national team at the 2021 Women's South American Volleyball Championship, qualifying for the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championships this fall.
Â
"I'm extremely happy to be back home in Aggieland," Gomez said. "I loved every single thing about this place when I was a student-athlete, and it is such an honor and privilege to be able to help and learn from my former coaches."
