Luke Visgitis begins his first season as Associate Head Women's Volleyball Coach in 2025. Visgitis joins Thiel after serving as a graduate assistant coach at PAC rival Westminster in 2024, where he helped guide the Titans to 20 wins, a three-win improvement from 2023, and a semifinal appearance in the PAC Championship Tournament.
"Luke is a rising star in coaching," said Collins. "He has international recruiting experience, a creative approach to player development and a passion for building strong, inclusive team cultures. His energy and vision align perfectly with our mission at Thiel."
Visgitis played three professional seasons—one with Viana VC in Portugal and two with VC Bitterfeld-Wolfen in Germany. Collegiately, he was a multi-year standout at Mount Olive, having collected four All-Conference selections. Visgitis finished his Trojans career second in program history in career hitting percentage (.399) and blocks (304).
"I'm excited to begin this new chapter at Thiel," Visgitis said. "My mission is to develop not only high-performing athletes, but also individuals who are prepared for life after volleyball. We're committed to building on this program's tradition of excellence and fostering a positive, growth-centered environment."
Visgitis graduated from Mount Olive with a Bachelor of Science in History. Visgitis starred at North Allegheny High School, a perennial WPIAL and PIAA powerhouse, and won a WPIAL championship in 2017.
