COACH'S CORNER
VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH
Ariel Apolinario begins his second season as head coach of Navarro's volleyball program after leading the Bulldogs to a 20-6 finish in 2020 with ranking among the NJCAA's Top 10 for 10 consecutive weeks.
Apolinario's Region XIV regular-season runner-up Bulldogs, led by NJCAA and AVCA All-American Nataly Garcia, swept 13 matches in the process of playing nine Top-20 ranked NJCAA teams on their schedule. His team earned five all-conference honors, plus two of the league's individual superlatives in Garcia (Newcomer) and Patricia Pantoja (Libero). Ten all-region academic players were among 12 graduates on Apolinario's 2020 squad.
Since March, 2018, Apolinario served as an assistant for head coach Dawn Sullivan’s Rebels after spending two seasons in the same roles at Rice University (2016-18), Ohio University (2014-16), Austin Peay State University (2012-14) and Union University (2010-12).
Most recently, Apolinario helped UNLV produce 42 wins with back-to-back post-season trips to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship Tournament. The Rebels concluded 2019 ranked in the Top 100 in nine different statistical categories – second in aces (241), fifth in aces per set (1.88), 21st in kills (1,688) and team assists (1,568), 52nd in total attacks (4,358), 71st in hitting percentage (.233), 79th in winning percentage (.645), 83rd in assists per set (12.25) and 85th in kills per set (13.19).
At Rice University, Apolinario assisted as offensive coordinator and worked specifically with outside and right-side hitters. During that time, the Owls went 41-21, advanced to one C-USA Tournament Final, and to one National Invitational Tournament.
Two years earlier at Ohio University, Apolinario was a defensive coordinator, with focus on setters and middle blockers. The Bobcats went 48-14, including a pair of Mid-American Conference (MAC) East regular-season and conference tournament championships, plus a berth in the 2015 NCAA Tournament.
On the court, he played two NAIA seasons at Newman University before the program was discontinued and then transferred to NCAA Division II member King University where he became a two-time all-conference player and was recognized as ‘Male Athlete of The Year’ in 2010.
Apolinario was named one of the nation's 30 up-and-coming volleyball coaches under 30 years of age by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) following the 2017 campaign.
A native of Matanzas, Cuba, Apolinario graduated from King University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts (Spanish) and coaching minor. He is married to Barbara Lins Silva, an alumni of Laredo College and Houston Baptist University.
