Abdelrazek came to CUA in 1993 and made an immediate impact by guiding the team to a 32-13 finish. The next season, the Cardinals went 36-17, won the CAC championship, and Abdelrazek was awarded his first CAC Coach of the Year honor.

He has also passed the International Volleyball Federation Level III and USA Volleyball Coaches Association Program Level III certification exams. His FIVB certification qualifies him to coach international teams.

Abdelrazek started playing at the national level in Egypt at age 16 and continued into college where he was a four-time all-star. He has played in more than 35 matches at the international level.

Abdelrazek currently serves as the Intramural Director in CUA's Athletic Department.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Silver Spring, Md., with their daughters Betsie, Alexa and Sara.
