Bill Huebsch enters into his second season as the MSU-Northern head women’s volleyball coach with great expectations for the upcoming season. The Skylights did not lose a single starter from the 2009 team and should put a more mature and seasoned team on the court in 2010. This, combined with how competitively they played against their opponents the previous year, should equal a successful and exciting volleyball season.

Under Huebsch’s and his coaching staff’s guidance, the 2009 Skylights provided many firsts that had not been seen in quite some time at Northern.  The team was able to double their conference win total over the previous season and win more total matches in 2009 than the last three years combined!  They also won a combined 59 individual games, as compared to only 19 in 2008.  Adding to what had already been a successful year, the team completed a weekend home sweep of conference opponents (UM-Western and Montana Tech) to end the conference season – a home sweep had not been accomplished at Northern since 2004.

Prior to joining the Skylight volleyball program, Huebsch was the head volleyball coach at Havre High School in Havre, Montana. Considered by many as one of the top volleyball coaches in the state, in 11 seasons Huebsch led the Blue Ponies to three conference titles, never finishing lower than third in the Central “A” Conference.  During his tenure, the Ponies qualified for the state tournament 8 out of his 11 years, winning back to back state championship titles in 1997 and 1998.  His teams also earned 2 runner-up trophies, 2 third place finishes, and never finished lower than 5^th   at the state tourney.

His outstanding coaching records of 90-25 conference (78.0%) and 226-93 over-all (71.0%) made him a perfect fit when Northern was searching for a coach.  He was named Central “A” Coach of the Year twice, and nominated 8 times for the Montana Coaches Association Coach of the Year, winning the award two times.

A graduate of Northern Montana College in 1991, Bill and his wife Tracy have been married for 12 years and have three daughters, Madison (12), Logan (9) and Devyn (7).
