The all-time winningest coach in SCSU volleyball history, Dianne Glowatzke won 527 matches, one conference championship and led the Huskies to four NCAA tournaments over 27 seasons from 1977-2002. Upon retirement in 2002, she was the winningest coach in any sport at SCSU and ranked as high as ninth among active NCAA Division-II coaches. Her Huskies won 20 or more matches in 16 seasons, including her first 12 at the helm and captured the 1982 Northern Sun Conference championship after a 27-9 campaign. SCSU advanced to four NCAA Tournaments in her tenure, including a 1995 Elite 8 run, the deepest run in a national tournament in program history. Glowatzke’s Huskies hold the top four spots in single season wins and were ranked in the Top 25 for 74 weeks, including 22 in the top 10. She was named the 1985 NCC Coach of the Year after leading the team to a program record 38 wins and its first NCAA Tournament appearance. In total, Glowatzke coached the program’s first three All-Americans, three all-region selections, 33 All-NCC performers, four academic all-district honorees and 38 NCC All-Academic selections.

Glowatzke also served as the head coach of the SCSU softball for seven seasons (1978-84), compiling an 82-70 record. She was inducted into the Minnesota State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1988.
