Becky (Olson) Meline is the 2003 NCC Player of the Year and a two-time all-NCC performer who graduated as the Coyotes' career leader in kills with 1,450. She remains one of the top all-rotation players in program history and is one of just five members of the team's 1,000 kill/1,000 dig club. In addition to her kills record, Meline was second in career digs (1,305), fourth in aces (130) and fifth in blocks (261).
 
Meline was a multi-sport athlete at Norfolk High School in Nebraska before arriving in Vermillion. She became the first Coyote volleyball player to be awarded first-team all-conference honors twice and she was an honorable mention honoree as a sophomore. She led South Dakota to 18 wins as a senior in 2003, which were the third-most in the program's 32 seasons.
 
Meline continued her schooling at Nebraska-Omaha and then began working as a clinician. She is the founder and owner of Focus Therapy & Performance Coaching where she focuses on sports psychology with individual athletes and teams. Meline and her husband, Aaron, have three children.
