Sarah Smevog was named assistant coach of Oregon volleyball in February 2025.

Smevog spent the previous two seasons (2023-24) as an assistant coach with Kersten at LMU. She was also a four-year starter at libero for San Jose State including two seasons with Kersten as head coach. Smevog was a two-time All-Mountain West Conference performer and finished her career with 1,734 digs, good for the second most in SJSU program history.

In two seasons at LMU, Smevog helped the Lions to a 45-12 overall record including a 29-5 record in West Coast Conference (WCC) play. She also helped coach the team to 13 All-WCC accolades, seven WCC All-Academic selections and an AVCA Honorable Mention All-America pick (Paige Flickinger) in 2024.

This past season, the Lions were the WCC champions and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament having defeated Washington in the opening round. LMU also had a victory over eventual-national seed SMU during the non-conference season. The team ended the year with 25 victories, the most by the program since 2003.

Smevog began her coaching career in 2023 and helped LMU to a 20-6 record and a 13-3 tally during WCC play. That season, the Lions were conference runners-up for their then-highest finish since the 2018 season.

In addition to her standout efforts on the court, Smevog was as strong in the classroom. She was an Arthur Ashe Scholar Athlete, a three-time Mountain West Scholar-Athlete and recipient of the SJSU Transformation 2030 Award. She graduated from San Jose State in 2022 with a B.S. in environmental studies.
