Peg Kopec (above right watching her team celebrate) closed out her legendary career as the girls' volleyball coach at St. Francis High School in Wheaton on Saturday, November 15, 2015 at the IHSA State Finals at Redbird Arena.

Kopec led the Spartans to a fourth consecutive state championship that night, becoming the first girls' volleyball team in state history to accomplish that feat.
