Concordia University, St. Paul Athletics

A four-year starter and four-time National Champion for the Concordia volleyball program, Cassie (Haag) Lindblom was an efficient offensive threat and formidable blocker during her time in navy and gold.

Lindblom’s CSP squads won four consecutive NCAA and NSIC titles as they won 136 of 146 matches (.932 winning percentage), including a 76-4 record (.950 winning percentage) in NSIC play and a perfect 24-0 mark in NCAA Tournament action during her career.

The Chaska, Minnesota (Southwest Christian HS) native came on strong during the team’s postseason run in her freshman campaign as she registered double figures in kills in each of the six NCAA Tournament matches to earn both NCAA Central Region and NCAA All-Tournament Team honors to wrap up a perfect 37-0 season.

She followed it up with the strongest offensive output of her career in her second season, contributing a career-best 3.55 kills per set to earn AVCA All-America First Team recognition as the team made it four NCAA Championships in as many years.

Following another NCAA Championship run in her junior year, Lindblom took home AVCA All-America First Team honors for a second time in her senior season. She set a then-program record with a .402 hitting percentage to secure her fourth NCAA title in a row and the sixth in a row for the program.

After graduation, Lindblom earned her M.A. in counseling and psychological services while working as a graduate assistant for the Golden Bear volleyball program. She then moved on to work for the Associated Clinic of Psychology and as an admissions counselor at CSP before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She resides in Chaska with her husband, Tyler, and their son, Silas.
