Debby Colberg, who’s coaching career spanned 32 years at Sacramento State, tallied over 800 wins with the Hornets to highlight her amazing volleyball career. Colberg won two national titles, the AIAW Division III in 1980 and NCAA Division II in 1981, while finishing as a runner-up in 1989. The long-time volleyball coach led the Hornets to 20 NCAA Tournament appearances, 18 conference championships and 17 coach of the year awards. During her time in the Big Sky (1996-07), she coached six MVPs, 21 first team all-league selections, 14 second team honorees and nine honorable mention picks. Colberg retired following the 2007 season, which also marked the 11^th consecutive year the Hornets had won either the Big Sky’s regular season title or a tournament championship. 
 
Colberg coached only two losing squads during her 32-year tenure and won an average of 25.9 matches per season over that span. Colberg owns the best career winning percentage in any sport in Sacramento State history, after leading the Hornets to winning seasons in 16 of the 17 Division I years and compiled a 408- 174 (.701) record over that span. That included six straight and 10 NCAA Tournament appearances in 11 years (1997-00, 2002-07).
 
The recipient of 17 coach of the year awards (one national, five regional and 11 conference), Colberg also had the added responsibility of serving as Sacramento State’s Athletics Director, a position she held from February of 1999 until June of 2002. In 2008, Sacramento State named its volleyball and basketball home floor as Colbert Court in honor for the 32-year volleyball coach and AVCA Hall of Famer.
