Pam (Miller) Dombeck

Volleyball, 1983-86
HOF Class of 2018

When her time with the Gophers ended in the mid-1980s, Dombeck (under her maiden name, Miller) departed Dinkytown as the program's all-time leader in career blocks and kills, with her record for blocks standing for nearly a quarter-century. She led the conference in the category both her junior and senior year. She was recognized as All-Big Ten both seasons, including First Team honors as a senior in 1986. She was also named First Team All-Region that season. She was voted the team's MVP as well, the second time she earned that honor in her career, as she led a squad that finished second in the Big Ten, the best finish in program history to that point. After her playing career, Dombeck served as an assistant with the Gophers and took over as the interim head coach for a single season (1995).
