The Woodbury native also led the team in serve aces with 35. Sullivan also played a big role in the team’s back row, posting 247 digs.

Amber Krenske’s (L/DS, 5-7, Jr., Faribault, Minn. / Faribault HS) earned second team NSIC honors after serving as the libero for the Dragons last season. Krenske led the team in digs with 393 (4.91 per set). Krenske also posted 18 serve aces in 80 sets in 2013.

COACHING STAFFAssistant Coaches: ....................Katy Peterson................................................Natalie Thomas Strength/Conditioning Coach: Travis Anderson

The winningest coach in Minnesota State University Moorhead history, Tammy Blake is in her 19th season as the Dragon head volleyball coach in 2013.

In 19 previous seasons, Blake is 332-252, and has led the Dragons to winning records 12 times. She enters the 2013 as the longest-tenured coach in the NSIC.

During her run, MSU Moorhead advanced to the NCAA Division II Re-gional tournament play in 2000, 2004 and 2005 and claimed a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference champion-ship in 2000. She is the only coach to marshal the Dragons to the NCAA Division II post-season playoffs. Blake became the first and lone MSUM head coach to reach the 300-win plateau in 2011.

In 2012, MSUM earned two wins over nationally-ranked foes (Eckerd and Rol-lins) on its way to a 17-12 mark. Playing in arguably the toughest Division II conference in the nation (NSIC), the Dragons finished with a 9-11 mark in conference play. MSUM opened the year 9-1 and finished the season with a five-match winning streak.

Senior Katy Ness had an outstanding senior season in 2012, earning Dak-tronics First-Team All-American honors. Ness was the Northern Sun Conference Libero of the Year after leading the con-ference this season with 6.31 digs per set, ranking sixth in NCAA Division II. Ness finished her career Dragon career with 2,164 digs.

The crowning jewel of her stay at MSUM was a remarkable 28-4 finish in 2000 that included a school record 17-match win streak, the return of the NSIC title to MSU Moorhead and a first ever appearance at the NCAA Division II North Central Regional Championships. It also earned Blake Regional Coach of the Year honors.

Blake was appointed the fifth head volleyball coach in Dragon history in 1995 replacing Becky Schulze. She joined MSUM after four years as head coach at Vermillion High School in Vermil-lion, S.D. Her 1992-93 edition placed 11th on the final South Dakota High School poll.

She faced a major challenge in her first season at MSUM, including the upgrade from the NAIA to the powerful NCAA Division II, but Blake and the rebuilt Dragons posted a second place finish in the NSIC, the first of three straight league runner-up finishes. Blake directed a Division II-leading defense in 2011 while averaging 19.88 digs per game.

A 1989 graduate of the University of South Dakota, Blake was installed as the Coyotes’ starting setter midway through her freshman year. A four-time letterwinner, she led the North Central Conference in serve aces as a junior and was elected captain as a senior.

Blake graduated from USD with a major in Physical Education/Health. Following her career at South Dakota, she spent two seasons at South Dakota State University as an assistant coach in volleyball and softball and earned a Master’s Degree.

A native of Sgt. Bluff, Iowa, Blake graduated from Sgt. Bluff-Luton High School in 1984. A four-sport letterwinner, she was a three-year regular in volleyball at outside hitter. A two-time Iowa All-State and a three-time All-War Eagle Conference selection, Blake was voted Most Valuable Player as a junior and senior.
