Remy Foeman is in her third season as the director of volleyball operations while also assisting in coaching duties with middle blockers and setters in the 2025-26 athletics year. She is the first director of operations in EMU volleyball history.
In her second season in Ypsilanti, Foeman heavily aided in an eight-win improvement from the 2023 season, concluding 2024 at 13-19 (7-11 MAC) after producing a 5-25 (3-15 MAC) mark in 2023, marking the team’s largest win-improvement since it won 24 games in 2010 after securing just five in 2009 (19-win improvement). Additionally, Eastern got off to a 5-1 start in conference play for the first time since 2018, capped by a thrilling five-set win on the road over eventual MAC Regular Season Champions, Bowling Green, Oct. 10.
Mainly assisting with middle blockers and setters, Foeman proved instrumental in the development of Hatteras Welker who earned MAC All-Freshman honors and was named MAC Defensive Player of the Week, Sept. 23, after recording 18 blocks (averaging two per set) and adding 14 kills off 25 swings offensively for a .525 hitting percentage, leading the Green and White to a 2-1 record on the week.
Welker went on to record 135 blocks in the season, the most from a freshman in program history while standing as the second-most in a single season in the rally scoring era (2008-pres.). She led the conference in both total blocks (135) and blocks per-set (1.27), figures that ranked her 22nd and 39th in the nation, respectively.
The 6-foot-2 middle blocker paced an Eastern team that led the MAC with 305.5 blocks and slotted third in the conference with 2.48 blocks per-set. Nationally, the Eagles ranked fourth in total blocks and 52nd in blocks per set. The 2024 team's 305.5 total blocks stands as the second-most in program history in the rally scoring era, while its 2.48 blocks per set marked a program record.
Welker also checked into set-based program records for blocks in both three, four, and five set matches, with her highest ranking tying for second with 11 blocks in a five-set win over IU-Indy, Aug. 30, a figure that stood as the second most in a single game in the conference. The very next day, Angel Baylark recorded 12 blocks in a four-set victory over Valparaiso, Aug. 31, marking a program four-set record and standing as a MAC single-game high.
Setting wise, Foeman mentored the duo of Ella Voorhees and Maddie Stayer. Voorhees led the team posting 428 assists (4.65 per set) with seven assist-digs double-doubles as she was named Hampton Inn Tournament MVP following a pair of double-double performances against IU-Indy and Valparaiso, Aug. 30-31. Stayer followed with 377 assists (3.19 per set) with six double-doubles and freshman Taylor Smith tabbed 289 assists (4.19 per set) with three double-doubles.
Prior to her arrival in Ypsilanti, Foeman spent the previous six years at Ashland University as the assistant coach under head coach Kevin Foeman. In April of 2021, she earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Thirty Under 30 Award, which recognizes up-and-coming coaching talent at all levels of the sport. Additionally, Foeman sat on the Ashland University Athletics Diversity and Inclusion Group Advisor committee as well as the Women's Advisory Council Advisor and was a Girls in Sports Day Leader. Moreover, she was named a Burton T Morgan Entrepreneur Fellow and sat on the GMAC Assistant Coach Representative at the Division II Governance Academy committee.
Before her time at Ashland, Foeman was previously an assistant coach at Lake Erie College from 2015 to 2017 and Hillsdale College in 2014. Additionally, the Maryland graduate spent some time at her alma mater as the director of volleyball operations during the 2013 season.
As a Terrapin, she was a two-year captain and ranks fifth on the school's all-time list in assists. She was named to the Preseason All-ACC team in 2011.
Following her collegiate career, Foeman also played professionally in Puerto Rico and was a member of the Puerto Rican national team, earning all-star honors in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
She also has experience as a camp coach at Tim Horsmon Volleyball Camps and has been a head coach at Metro American Volleyball Club and Jonesville (Mich.) High School.
Foeman graduated from the University of Maryland in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in family science.
Foeman, and her husband, Kevin, have three children, KJ, Evie and Jax, and three dogs, Chandler, Joey, and Anakin.
