Rebecca Rudnick-Hong joined the Demon Deacons in the fall of 2019, serving as an assistant coach and the recruiting coordinator.
Since her arrival at DEACTOWN, Rudnick-Hong has played a pivotal role in bringing in and developing a number of players within the volleyball program, including three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) All-Freshman honorees in the last two seasons (2022-23). The three selections are the most for Wake Forest in a two-year span since 1997-98. Standout libero Emma Farrell was also named the conference's Freshman of the Year in 2022, becoming the first Wake Forest individual to attain the honor since Christy Williams in 2002.
Prior to Wake Forest, Rudnick-Hong spent four seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at West Virginia. In 2017, West Virginia collected 21 wins for the first time since 1991 and advanced to the postseason for the second time in program history, reaching the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC) semifinals. The Mountaineers also upset No. 14 Kansas in the team’s regular-season finale for their first-ever win over a top-25 team.
Before her stint in Morgantown, Rudnick-Hong spent a total of six seasons at Liberty in Lynchburg, Virginia. She served as an assistant coach from 2011-14 after spending the 2006 and 2007 seasons as a graduate assistant.
The Lady Flames won a trio of Big South Conference Championships and earned NCAA Tournament berths in 2007, 2011 and 2012. Rudnick-Hong helped Liberty post a program-record 27 wins in 2007 and a program-best win percentage of .758 with a 25-8 mark in 2012.
Rudnick-Hong also spent time as a reading specialist and first grade teacher at a Lynchburg elementary school and taught third grade in Homewood, Illinois. She continued coaching during her teaching career and coached the Celtic Force Volleyball Club (Palos Heights, Illinois), the Heart of Virginia Volleyball Club (Lynchburg, Virginia) and served as a volunteer assistant at Randolph College.
A four-year letterwinner at Liberty, Rudnick-Hong helped the Lady Flames to the 2001 Big South Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. She ranks 11th all-time at Liberty with 1,164 career kills. Rudnick-Hong was a 2003 All-Big South First Team honoree and was selected to the All-Big South Tournament Team in 2004. She graduated with honors from Liberty in 2005, earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Rudnick-Hong later earned a master’s in education in 2008.
