HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac women's volleyball head coach Kyle Robinson has announced the addition of Maddy Halteman to the coaching staff as an assistant coach.
Halteman comes to Quinnipiac after serving as an assistant coach at CSU Stanislaus this past season. Halteman was part of the staff that led the Warriors to 19 wins in 2022, the most in a single season in program history. While serving as an assistant coach, Halteman was the assistant coach for the Rage Volleyball Club 14's.
"I'm very excited to have another fresh, bright mind join our staff," said Robinson. "Maddy's experience and positive energy will be a great influence on our student-athletes and athletic department. I can already tell she's going to be a great fit with our Bobcat family."
Halteman brings a wealth of volleyball success and knowledge with her to Hamden as prior to her getting into coaching, she was a four-year standout on the volleyball team at Fresno State from 2015-2019.
Halteman was a multi-time all-Mountain West Conference player at Fresno State, completing her collegiate career among the program's top 10 in four different career record categories. She stands at No. 3 all-time for the Bulldogs in career assists with 3,851, while her 136 career service aces are tied for third-most all-time in program history. Halteman's career rate of 0.30 aces per set is fourth all-time, and her 8.60 career assists per set are ninth all-time. She totaled the third-most assists ever by a Fresno State freshman in 2016, racking up 823 that year.
After graduating from Fresno State, Halteman did a graduate year at Northumbria University in England as a member of the women's volleyball program before starting her pro career overseas. Halteman's professional career began in Germany, as she starred for VC Neuwied 77 for nearly a year in Germany's highest league, German 1 Bundesliga. Following her stint for VC Neuwied 77, Halteman signed a deal in the Swedish Elisterien League with team Gislaved VBK, where she excelled at the highest level for lone season with the team.
Halteman had a decorated prep career at Turlock before heading south to Fresno State, helping turn Pitman High into one of the area's best volleyball programs. She powered the Pride to a second-place finish at the California State Division I Championship as a senior in 2014, winning a Sac-Joaquin Section Division I title, a CIF NorCal Division I championship and a Central California Conference trophy along the way. The team finished second at the NorCal Division I tournament the year before while winning three straight CCC titles during Halteman's tenure. Halteman was named the CCC Setter of the Year three times (2012, '13, '14) and was named the conference's Most Valuable Player as a junior in 2013.
A native of California, Halteman earned a B.S. degree in Kinesiology – Exercise Science from Fresno State before obtaining her Master of Science degree in International Sport Management in January 2022 from Northumbria University.
