While in Hanover, she led the collection, presentation, and analysis of all practice and match performance data, oversaw all technology services for the team, and guided the program's recruiting efforts for the 2025 and 2026 recruiting cycles. Decker-Jacoby also supervised the training for Dartmouth's setters and middles and assisted with in-match offensive strategy and game plan execution.

"I'm thrilled to welcome Shea Decker-Jacoby to the San Diego volleyball family," said Petrie. "She brings high-level experience from all levels of the game and a deep volleyball acumen that will help us continue to raise the standard in our program."

In that role, Decker-Jacoby handled the program's match and practice statistical collection and analysis and oversaw the Spartans' video operations. She also assisted with tracking on-court player performance and managed advance scouting for future matches.
