Coaches Head Coach - Ryan Platt: 483-2120
Ryan Platt Previously, Coach Platt had been on staff at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., the Head Coach for three seasons at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, Ore., and an assistant coach at his alma mater, Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. At LCSC he helped lead the Warriors to a combined record of 48-11, two Frontier Conference championships, and two Regional tournament berths. His breadth of experience in all three divisions of the NCAA and in the NAIA will undoubtedly benefit Blue Hawk volleyball as he is an experienced on-court leader and a proven recruiter who can draw from local, regional or international pools. Platt will set the same tone for Hawk volleyball that he pursued as an undergraduate at LCSC. He was team Captain two years, and he was twice on the Dean’s List and three times LCSC earned all-academic team recognition. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and specialized in both Coaching Administration and Sports Psychology. Coach Platt is a sound tactician and his “athletes first, winning second” approach to volleyball fits well with his personality since he cares about the individual as much as he cares about them as an athlete. “I am very excited and happy to be joining the Blue Hawk Athletic family. On my visit I was extremely impressed by all aspects of the city of Dickinson and Dickinson State University’s athletic and academic departments. Mr. Ternes put together a very thorough and professional interview process and made me feel confident and excited about the position of Head Volleyball Coach at Dickinson State University.”

Kay is a 1979 graduate of New Salem High School. She graduated from Dickinson State magna cum laude in 1982 with a major in physical education and a minor in history. While a “Blue Chick” at DSU, Kay competed in volleyball and basketball. She played on conference tournament championship volleyball teams in 1979 and 1982, and a conference basketball championship in 1981. In 1983, Johnson coached the DSU volleyball team for one year immediately following graduation before moving onto Beulah where she taught and coached track until 1987. From 1987-90, Kay was the head volleyball coach at conference rival University of Mary where she compiled an 87-58 record enroute to capturing one conference (NDCAC) title in 1990 and two sub-district titles in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, Kay moved to Dickinson after marrying former DSU Coach Dave Moody. Kay Moody has the distinction of being the only person involved (as a player and coach) in all 10 of DSU’s volleyball conference championships in the sport’s 30-year history. At Dickinson State, Moody is currently an adjunct faculty member as well as currently teaching freshman seminar classes. Kay is also a certified fitness trainer, aerobics instructor and a certified lifeguard instructor. She and her husband, Dave, have three children; Nate, Ali and Aanen.
