MSU Moorhead Athletics

Tammy Blake is long regarded as one of the pillars of coaching at MSU Moorhead. Blake assumed the role of head volleyball coach at MSUM in 1995 and remained in that position until her departure prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In that span of time, Blake would accumulate 398 career wins for the Dragons, the most by any coach in school history. In total, Blake has accounted for nearly 44 percent of MSUM's all-time wins in volleyball. 
 
Among her many accomplishments was earning NSIC Coach of the Year honors in 2000 as the Dragons won the conference behind a 17-1 league record. That year's Dragons went 28-4 overall and etched their first trip to the NCAA Central Region Tournament. Blake was also named Central Region Coach of the Year for her work at MSUM. Blake would guide the Dragons back to the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2005. In her tenure, she coached 51 players to All-NSIC distinction as well as numerous All-Region performers. Blake guided two student-athletes to All-America status in her time at MSUM.
