Ali Oliver is entering her first season as the head coach of the Whittier College Volleyball program.  She has been the head coach at Cerritos College for two seasons, and led the Falcons to a second place finish in the South Coast Conference last season.

Oliver began playing volleyball at San Gabriel High School where she was a four-year letter winner.  She went on to play for Cerritos College and led the state in kills as a freshman.  Her junior season, she received a scholarship to play at Southeastern Louisiana University.  An injury forced her to transfer once again, this time to Sonoma State, where she was the starting outside hitter and team captain.  She graduated from Sonoma State in 2000 with a Bachelor's degree in Communications, and in 2003, returned to Sonoma to earn her Master's degree in Kinesiology.
