The Columbus Fury have added Noel Carpio as an assistant coach for the 2026 season, head coach Ángel Pérez announced Tuesday. The veteran assistant coach most recently served on the San Diego Mojo staff as an assistant coach.

 

“We are thrilled to have Noel join our staff,” Pérez said. “He brings a wealth of experience, both at the college and professional level, having worked previously in Major League Volleyball. Noel has received high praise from his peers and every athlete I spoke to.”

 

Carpio joined the Mojo after two seasons with the Georgetown Hoyas, where he helped guide a young roster through Big East play. He worked closely with the program’s emerging talent, including freshman setter Emily Wen, who surpassed 1,100 assists in 2023.

 

Prior to making the move to Georgetown, Carpio spent two seasons at Oral Roberts where he helped guide the Golden Eagles to 27 total wins, including an 18-11 record in 2021. The 18 wins in 2021 and a trip to the Summit League Championship semifinals marked the program’s best season since 2016.

 

“I’m excited to be joining the Fury and joining the Columbus community, which has really supported the Fury,” Carpio said. “The Fury puts on a great show at the arena and has set the tone for the league from a fan-engagement standpoint.”
