Meet the Coaches
Cindy Pindral was named the eighth Head Coach of the volleyball program on December 2, 2024. Pindral returns to the Huskies after being an Assistant Head Coach, Assistant Coach, and Volunteer Coach with the Huskies for seven seasons from 2016 to 2022. During her seven years with the Huskies, the team held a 139-62 overall record. Tech went to four straight NCAA Tournaments from 2017-21 and won a pair of regular-season GLIAC championships in the spring of 2021 and then repeated in the fall of 2021. The 2017 Huskies earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time for the program since 2009. The 2019 squad swept Missouri-St. Louis in the first round of the tournament for the first NCAA win since 1995. The 2021 team also advanced to the NCAA Midwest Regional Semifinal after a five-set victory over Wayne State.
Mallory Nickelson begins her third season as an Assistant Coach with Michigan Tech volleyball in 2025. She was named to the position in February 2023 after being a four-year starting libero and setter at Roosevelt University and most recently an assistant coach for two seasons at UW-Stevens Point. In Nickelson’s first season in 2023, the Huskies advanced to the GLIAC semifinal for the eighth consecutive time and were honored with the AVCA Academic Excellence Award for the 12th year in a row. Setter Tess Hayes was named the GLIAC Freshman of the Year and to the All-GLIAC Second Team. Kaycee Meiners and Lindy Oujiri were honored on the All-GLIAC First Team. Meg Raabe joined Hayes on the All-GLIAC Second Team, and Rachel Zurek was an Honorable Mention selection.
