Tiffany Braun, formerly Tiffany Land, joined the Corban University Volleyball staff in January 2015. Braun is a familiar face to Corban University Volleyball after playing for the Warriors for four years from 2008-2011.
In the record-setting 2016 campaign, Braun helped guide the Warriors to a 25-8 overall record, a win in the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round, two wins in 'pool play' at the NAIA Final Site, and a trip to the NAIA Volleyball Round of 16. It was Corban's first-ever trip to the NAIA Championships, and by advancing to the Round of 16, it marked the furthest Corban had ever advanced in the national tournament.
During the 2016 season, the Warriors finished with a 17-3 record in Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) play and Corban garnered two NAIA All-Americans and three First-Team All-CCC athletes to go along with the CCC Libero of the Year.
In her first year at Corban in 2015, she led the Warriors to the best season the program had registered since 2004 with a 14-13 overall record and a fifth-place finish in the CCC. Under her guidance, the Warriors qualified for the CCC Tournament and saw three players garner All-Conference honors, with one collecting All-America honors and the other two earning CCC Libero of the Year and Freshman of the Year plaudits.
Following a fantastic high school career at Santiam Christian High School where she played under the guidance of Kim and Dick McLain, Braun joined the Warriors as a middle blocker in 2008. Excelling on the court, she was named to the All Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) First Team during her senior season and the Honorable-Mention Team during her junior campaign. She was also recognized as the NAIA Student-Athlete of the Week during her final season with the Navy and Gold.
During her sophomore year of college, Braun began her coaching career for Salem Volleyball Club, and she coached there throughout her final three years at Corban. Upon graduating, she joined the McLains as a member of the Santiam Christian High School coaching staff where she helped lead the Eagles to three-straight State Championships in 2012, 2013, and 2014. During that span, she was also hired on at BOSS Volleyball Club where she is currently coaching in her third season.
Braun graduated from Corban in 2012 with a degree in Elementary Education, and she enjoys playing volleyball still when her knees allow her too. She’s also recently took up golfing, as it is slightly easier on her knees. She and her husband, Jason, currently reside in Corvallis.
