Gabbi Dupuis completed her first season as the head volleyball coach for Peru State in 2025, guiding the Bobcats to a 12–19 overall record and a 5–13 mark in Heart of America Athletic Conference play. Her debut season featured notable individual achievements as two athletes earned All-Conference recognition. Eden Moore was selected to the All-Conference Third Team, while Addison Schneider earned All-Conference Honorable Mention honors.
Dupuis was promoted to head coach after serving as the Bobcats’ assistant coach during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. She originally joined the staff in 2022 as a graduate assistant and quickly established herself as a strong leader within the program.
During her time as an assistant, Dupuis served as the head coach of the Varsity Reserve team, where she helped develop athletes into varsity-level contributors. She also assisted with game planning, player development, and recruiting efforts.
Dupuis played a key role in the program’s academic and athletic success throughout her assistant tenure. She helped guide the Bobcats to the Heart of America Conference Tournament for the first time since 2017. The team also earned the AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2024–25 academic year and produced six All-Conference award winners, 18 Daktronics Scholar-Athletes, and 11 Heart Scholar-Athletes during that span.
Beyond her work on the court, Dupuis managed the volleyball program’s social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, helping expand the team’s brand and online presence.
In addition to her collegiate coaching, Dupuis has been heavily involved with the Central Missouri Volleyball Club since 2017. She currently serves as Vice President, chairing the Tournament Committee, overseeing CMVBC-sponsored events, and assisting athletes through the recruiting process. As a club coach, she has planned and led practices, run positional clinics and private lessons for athletes of all ages, and guided three teams to USAV Nationals.
A 2021 graduate of the University of Saint Mary, Dupuis earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.
