HEAD COACH – STORMY SIEMION:
Stormy Siemion enters her second season as head volleyball coach at Dickinson State after being named to the position ahead of the 2024 campaign. In her first year, she guided two players to all-conference honors, including Rylee Kogolshak (First Team All-NSAA, AVCA All-Region HM) and McKenzie Moser (Second Team All-NSAA).
Before joining DSU, Siemion built a strong résumé in Montana high school volleyball, leading Skyview High School to two state tournament appearances and a fourth-place state finish in 2023. She also served as an assistant at Lockwood High School and Hardin High School.
A Huntley, Mont., native, Siemion won four consecutive Montana state titles at Huntley Project High School, setting state records for kills in a season and career. She played collegiately at NCAA Division II Montana State University–Billings (2013–18), earning team MVP honors and All-GNAC honorable mention in 2016. Her championship pedigree, player development expertise, and competitive drive continue to shape the direction of the Blue Hawk program.
