Former Panther standout Kim Davis enters her 23rd year on head coach Bobbi Petersen’s coaching staff in 2024.
Coach Petersen hired Davis as an assistant coach in 2002. In her coaching tenure, Davis has coached the Panthers to 11 MVC regular season titles and 11 MVC tournament titles. Within this same period, the Panthers have made 17 NCAA Volleyball Championship appearances with a 10-16 record.
The Panthers have had seven players take home the MVC Player of the Year award since Davis has been on staff. In her time as an assistant coach, 65 Panthers have earned All-Conference recognition, and 16 Panthers have been named to the All-Freshman Team.
Davis has been instrumental in academic success of the Panther student athletes. Under her watch the Panthers have had 56 MVC Scholar-Athletes and five Academic All-America honorees from College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA).
A native of Carroll, Iowa, the former Kim McCaffrey was one of the best players in UNI history, having been named to the Missouri Valley Conference All-Centennial Volleyball Team in 2006. She helped lead UNI to its second NCAA Sweet 16 appearance as a senior in 2001, earning First Team All-Conference honors for the third time and being selected to the All-Central Region squad.
A team captain, Davis was one of three Panthers to collect 400 kills in 2001 with 410. She also led the team in digs with 379. Davis ranked in the top 10 in the MVC in kill average (3.50), dig average (3.24) and service ace average (0.39).
She finished her career with 1,272 kills, at that time good for fifth on UNI’s career chart, and 1,015 digs, placing her sixth. She also was only the fourth player in school history to go over the 1,000 mark in both career categories.
In the classroom, Davis was a two-time first team MVC scholar-athlete selection. Kim entered the UNI Hall of Fame in 2018.
She and her husband, Shane, have a son, Camden and two daughters, Taylor and Paige.
