Grace Talpash joined the Chaminade University women's volleyball team as a volunteer assistant coach in August 2025.

Talpash wore a Silverswords uniform for two seasons (2023-24) where she received numerous accolades in her final season of playing eligibility in 2024. As the starting setter, she was named the Pacific West Conference Setter of the Year while earning all-conference first team honors after guiding the 'Swords to a 28-5 mark including an unblemished 20-0 conference season, the first PacWest team to run the conference slate undefeated since 2017. She also earned AVCA All-America and all-region honors by the Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA).

Aside from posting stellar numbers at a 9.43 assists per set clip, Talpash also proved dangerous as a six-rotation player, posting 101 kills, 41 total blocks and 36 service aces. In a five-set win over the University of Hawai'i Hilo on Oct. 19, 2024, she set a career-high with 54 assists.

In the classroom, Talpash earned two academic honors by both the PacWest and D2 ADA (Division 2 Athletic Directors Association) and one College Sports Communicators Academic All-District award.

She also was a member of the newly-minted beach volleyball program which made its debut in the spring of 2024 and helped earn seven wins, tied for the most of the team. In 2025, Talpash was the team's Most Outstanding Player after posting five victories.

Talpash arrived to Chaminade after three seasons at Division I University of Oklahoma (2020-22) where she earned Academic All-Big XII Conference honors twice and was on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District list. She began her collegiate career at the University of San Francisco (2019).
