CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – University of Northern Iowa assistant volleyball coach Kalani Mahi has decided to step down after 15 years in the program.
"I can't thank Kalani enough for his years of service and commitment to the UNI volleyball program," said head coach Bobbi Petersen. "He has been a part of many special seasons and moments and has impacted many lives through his love of the game, his ability to train and his dedication to recruiting. It's been a pleasure to work so many years with Kalani, and he will be missed. We wish him all the best in his next adventure."
Mahi served as an assistant under Petersen for 15 seasons. In that time the Panthers amassed a 374-131 record. Mahi has assisted in the development of 57 All-Conference Team members and 12 American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Americans. Since joining the team the Panthers have made nine MVC Tournament finals with six championships while making the NCAA Tournament 11 times.
"It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my resignation as the assistant volleyball coach here at UNI," said Mahi. "I am stepping down to spend more time with family and pursue some other opportunities. Bobbi, Kim, and Michelle have made it a joy to come to work each day. I consider all of them close friends, as well as my extended family. I'd also like to thank all of the student-athletes who have made my job very enjoyable each and every day. I'd also like to thank President Nook, David Harris and Christina Roybal for giving me the opportunity to support my family doing something I love in a place that really cares about student-athletes and the volleyball program. Lastly, I'd like to thank our incredible fans, and the Panther Nation for making this the best place to play in the country. I will miss all of you, and look forward to supporting Bobbi and the Panther volleyball team from the sidelines."
