The Great Danes also earned an America East regular season crown during the 2020-21 campaign with a 9-3 mark.
Six Great Danes achieved First Team All-America East accolades during Rollman's five seasons, in addition Player of the Year honors for Kamara Kelly (2020-21) and Danielle Tedesco (2021).

During that historic campaign, Missouri State appeared in the AVCA Top 25 Poll for the first time since 2003.
Before heading to Missouri, Rollman was an assistant coach at Central Michigan for two seasons, beginning in 2015. Responsible for coordinating serving strategy, he helped 2016 All-MAC First Team honoree Jordan Bueter rank among the top 10 nationally in aces per set.
