BOISE, Idaho – Boise State Beach Volleyball Head Coach Allison Voigt will be stepping down from the program, she announced on Thursday.
"After multiple conversations with my family, friends and director of athletics Jeramiah Dickey, I have decided to step away from my coaching role at Boise State to focus on my family," Voigt said. "I've been blessed to work with the best student-athletes, coaches and staff members during my time with this program and am so grateful for all the relationships that I've developed here. I am extremely proud of all that we accomplished as a program in my time here and am looking forward to seeing what's next for this program as its number one fan."
The winningest coach in program history, Voigt has amassed a 119-63 career coaching record since taking over the program prior to the 2019 season, and guided the squad through conference play after joining the SLC before the 2023 year.
After finishing as a runner-up in the first two years as members of the Southland Conference, the reigning SLC Coach of the Year led the Broncos to their first regular season and conference tournament championship this past season. The tournament title earned the Broncos an automatic spot to the 16-team NCAA Beach Volleyball National Championship for the first time in program history.
Under her leadership, she has built the program to become one of the perennial powers in the West, having won 20+ games over the past four seasons. Boise State has recorded a 26-7 season record against conference foes under her tenure, including a 12-1 mark this past season. She has also maintained a dominance on the Broncos' home sand, leading the squad to an 20-dual winning streak dating back to the 2021 season.
"Allison is a tremendous human, and we're grateful for her leadership for the last seven years with our beach volleyball program and 10 years total at Boise State," said Jeramiah Dickey, Boise State Director of Athletics. "When she let me know of her decision to step down, the conversation was incredibly emotional. It shows how much she cares about being a Bronco, and what this program means to her. But it also shows how much she loves being a mom to Hallie and Tobin and a wife to Brandon. I'm proud of her choosing what's best for them, and know she is going to continue to be an elite mother. She was a Bar Raiser for us, setting up our program for future competitive excellence as highlighted by this past year's trip to the NCAA Tournament and conference title."
Since joining the SLC prior to the 2023 season, Voigt has coached 12 all-conference pairs, including nine first-team duos - the most in the conference in that time frame. Voigt helped Boise State become the first team in conference history to have its entire starting lineup earn all-conference recognition following the 2024 season. In three years of SLC play, Bronco duos have taken home SLC Pair of the Week honors 10 times. Additionally, Boise State has claimed back-to-back Newcomer of the Year honors, and claimed the league's top pair in 2024.
Though success has been a staple of Voigt's leadership, she is also well-known for her dedication to developing student-athletes off the sand as well. The Broncos' have had back-to-back SLC Student-Athletes of the Year, and have earned the AVCA Team Academic award in every season she has been a head coach. She also helped one of her student-athletes, Makayla Dimond, become the first Boise State student-athlete to pursue a nursing degree while concurrently participating in a sport.
"I'm a full believer that collegiate athletics shouldn't take people away from their passion or what they want to do career-wise," Voigt said. "Yes, I'm a coach, and believe me I want to win as much as possible. But I also see this role as a mentor, someone that can make an impact on a young woman's life. That's really important to me."
Voigt came to the Treasure Valley in 2016 to serve as an assistant coach on Boise State's indoor team, before assuming the head coaching role of the Boise State beach team in 2019.
Voigt graduated in 2012 from New Mexico, where she was a decorated player on the Lobos' indoor volleyball team. As a collegiate athlete, she earned a number of accolades during her junior and senior seasons including: AVCA All-America Honorable-Mention and first-team AVCA All-West Region honors, both in 2011; as well as being a two-time All-MW honoree in 2010 and 2011 as the MW Libero of the Year; and served as a team captain her senior year. The native of Camas, Wash., also excelled in the classroom where she was a four-time Academic All-MW award recipient.
To this day, Voigt still holds New Mexico's career dig record (1,630), single-season dig record with 561 (in 2011), and single-game dig record (36, twice).
