Madison Beasley, a proud alumna of Alabama State University, begins her second season coaching at the collegiate level after joining head coach Penny Lucas-White's staff in 2025.
With Beasley on staff, the 2025 edition of the Hornets achieved a 12-4 mark in SWAC play and reached the SWAC Semifinals to close out the season. Sophomore Kamrynn Clay was named the Setter of the Year by the conference, while she was joined by middle hitter Kaylen Hines and outside hitter Jyriah Morgan on the All-SWAC First Team. The Hornets added more individual accolades in the postseason, as Morgan and senior Brooke Adams were named to the All-Tournament Team.Â
Beasley was a four-year setter for the Hornets from 2019 to 2023, playing a pivotal role in leading the team to a SWAC Championship. Her standout performance earned her First Team All-SWAC honors and the title of 2023 SWAC Setter of the Year.
Following her playing career, the Gilbert, Arizona, native began coaching at Mana Toa Volleyball Club in Prattville, Alabama, where she helped develop young athletes and grow her coaching foundation.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology (2023) and a Master of Business Administration in June 2024. Now back on campus, Beasley is eager to give back to the program that shaped her as a student-athlete, as she returns with a strong background as both a player and a coach, along with a deep passion for the game.
