SPRING VALLEY — Megan Nation is returning to the Illinois Valley to take over the Hall Lady Red Devil volleyball program. And she couldn’t be more excited.

The former L-P and IVCC standout was named this week as the new Lady Devil coach. She was the head coach at Aurora University the past three seasons.

“I’m just thrilled to be back home,” said the 2001 L-P grad. “I came home in November, and heard both the Ottawa and Hall positions were open. People kept telling me to put in for them. I was just excited they wanted to interview me. Now that I have the job, I can’t stop smiling.”
