Olivia Killelea (nee Becker) serves as the acting head coach for the Lynchburg women's indoor and beach volleyball teams. She moved into acting head coach position after former director of volleyball Hannah Givens stepped down from her role at Lynchburg in January 2024 to start the beach volleyball program at Wingate University. 

Killelea originally joined Lynchburg's indoor and beach volleyball staff in March 2023. She came to the Hill City after spending the previous eight seasons as a part of Covenant's volleyball program. 

Killelea served as the Scots' assistant coach from 2020-2022 in which Covenant won 52 matches in that span. The Scots won the Collegiate Conference of the South Tournament in 2022 and played Berry in the NCAA tournament. 

Killelea played for the Scots while earning her undergraduate degree in mathematics. She served as a student assistant and graduate assistant on the Covenant staff from 2018-2020. Killelea and the Scots made their first NCAA tournament appearance in program history in 2015. The Scots won their first NCAA tournament game against Birmingham Southern in 2017.

After graduating from Covenant in 2019, Killelea earned her Master's of Education in 2020.Â
