[3] She is married to Mike Cawley, who played football for James Madison University from 1993-95 and a sixth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1996 NFL Draft.

With the volleyball team, she was a two time AVCA All-American, and helped lead Penn State to the 1999 national championship and three Big Ten Conference crowns.

She was a member of the 1999 NCAA national championship team and ended her Penn State career with 1,310 kills, 772 digs and 299 blocks.

Freshman outside hitter Alexa Markley rounded out conference awards by being named to the All-Freshman team, and graduate student middle blocker Katie Clark earned the sportsmanship honor.

Moreover, Seleisa Elisaia, Allie Holland, and Kashauna Williams were recognized as AVCA all region first team players.

The team won the national championship that year, and so Schumacher-Cawley became the first female head coach winner of an NCAA women’s volleyball title.
