HEAD COACH NICK MESECK

Nick Meseck is in his second season as head coach for the University of Minnesota Crookston volleyball program in 2022. He is in his third season with the program after serving as an assistant coach for the Golden Eagles in 2021.

A season ago, Meseck led the Golden Eagles to an impressive season and finished with four more wins than in 2021.

In his first season as an assistant coach, UMN Crookston posted a 1-24 mark. The Golden Eagles were outstanding in the classroom, as they had Lauren Wallace, Bailey Mulcahy, Madison Klimek, and Natalie Koke all receive NSIC All-Academic laurels during the season. In addition, Wallace was named a 2021-22 NSIC Myles Brand All-Academic with Distinction recipient.

Meseck got his start in May of 2017 at Northern Cass High School as an assistant coach. In June of 2019, Meseck got his first college coaching opportunity at North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) in Wahpeton, N.D. Meseck had been with MSU Moorhead since February of 2020, where he played a key role in recruiting and was in charge of film software and film breakdown, as well as running the main social media accounts for the team's social media.

Since 2011, Meseck has been on the board and has been the head coach of Summit, one of the premier club volleyball programs in the state of North Dakota.

"I am eager to get into the gym at UMN Crookston! I am looking forward to building relationships, coaching, and encouraging our student athletes. I am excited to get to work in one of the most competitive volleyball conferences in Division II," said Meseck.

Meseck graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a Bachelor of Science in exercise science with a minor in strength and conditioning. He also earned All-NSIC honors in track and field while he was a student-athlete for the Dragons. Meseck was the NSIC Men's Outdoor Individual Champion in men's triple jump in 2008.
