Noah Casaquit enters his third year as assistant coach on the UCLA women's volleyball team in 2025. Casaquit also serves UCLA's women's volleyball programย as its director of operations.
ย
Casaquit arrives to Westwood after two years as the assistant coach at the University of San Francisco and his fifth total year of coaching NCAA women's volleyball. Casaquit also spent two seasons as the top assistant at the Academy of Art in San Francisco (2019-2020) and one season as the volunteer assistant at the University of California, Berkeley (2018).
Casaquit led the Bruins through their inaugural season in the Big Ten, ending with a 14-15 overall record and an 8-12 mark in conference play. UCLA secured two wins against ranked teams, highlighted by an exhilarating five-set victory on the road against No. 14 Georgia Tech in the season opener. The Bruins also swept Washington for the season, extending their winning streak against the Huskies to four matches.
He guided outside hitter Cheridyn Leverette's breakout junior campaign that resulted in AVCA All-American honors. Leverette also received First Team All-Big Ten recognition and joined her teammate, Anna Dodson, on the AVCA All-Region squad. During the winterย of 2025, Dodson went on to sign a professional contract withย Cuneo Granda Volley based in Cuneo, Italy. The team competes in Serie A1, the highest level of Italian women's volleyball.
ย
Casaquit helped spur a massive turnaround in the San Francisco volleyball program under head coach Diogo Silva, improving a winless 0-25 squad in 2021 to a 14-15 record in 2022 for its highest win total since 2015. Two Dons earned All-West Coast Conference accolades last season.
ย
While at the Academy of Art, Casaquit helped the program finish with a 12-18 overall record in his first season in 2019. The 11-win turnaround was the largest by a PacWest team that season. The 12 wins were the program's second most victories in the Urban Knight's NCAA Championship era. The team had two all-conference honorees that year.
ย
At California, Casaquit helped the Golden Bears to their highest win total since 2013 with a 15-16 record featuring four wins over top 25 opponents.
ย
Casaquit also owns five years of coaching experience at the junior college and NAIA levels with stints at Long Beach City College (2014-2018), Cerritos College (2016-2017), Hope International University (2015-2016) and Cypress College (2011).
ย
Casaquit spent four years as an assistant coach for Long Beach City College where he worked with both the men's and women's indoor programs. While at LBCC, he coached the Viking men to a state title in 2016. He also helped the program secure a three-peat of California Community College Athletic Association Western Conference Championships (2016, 2017 and 2018). He helped guide the Viking men to a perfect 19-0 season before falling in the state semifinals in 2018.
ย
Casaquit brings two years of collegiate head coaching experience leading the men's program at his alma mater, Hope International University in Fullerton, Calif., from 2015-2016. In 2016, Casaquit coached the Royals to a conference runner-up finish.
ย
As a player, Casaquit began his career as the starting libero for Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, before transferring to Hope International. While at HIU, he was named captain and led the team to its first appearance in the NAIA National Championship Tournament in 2009 where the Vikings finished third for their best mark in school history.
ย
Casaquit was also named to the 2009 NAIA All-Tournament Team and picked up NAIA All-America honors in 2009 and 2010. He was recognized as the NAIA Defensive Player of the Year in both seasons. He is the HIU program's all-time career leader with 690 digs and is the single-season record holder with 289 digs.
