They set a program record with 17 CCAA wins in the regular season, had the second-longest winning streak in program history at 18 consecutive matches, and had the longest stretch of 3-0 sweeps across eight straight matches. The 2024 squad reached as high as No. 3 in the national rankings, marking the highest in program history. The team concluded its season hosting the NCAA West Regionals at the No. 1 seed, the first time they have hosted under the current playoff format. 

Prior to joining the Broncos staff, Lo was the volunteer assistant at UCLA for the 2018 and 2019 seasons. While at UCLA, he helped with scouting and game planning against opponents and practice planning. On the court, Lo spent time training the UCLA middle blockers and assisting in player development. He helped UCLA make the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament and coached the Pac 12 Player of the Year and two All Americans in 2019.

Lo spent the 2017 season as a volunteer assistant at Pepperdine after serving as an assistant coach at Cal State LA for three seasons (2014-16). He helped the Golden Eagles reach the AVCA Top 25 for the first time since 2010, coaching three All-Americans and four All-CCAA players. With CSULA, Lo was in charge of scouting opponents, recruiting, and preparing the block and defense.

On the club side, Lo has also spent time working at SG Elite Volleyball Club. As a senior coach and administrator, he has head coached two Roshambo teams that have qualified in the Open division. He also assisted on several Roshambo teams, including an 18 Roshambo team that won the first Bronze Medal in the 18 Open Division at the club.
