The Utah State Aggies are an American handball team, representing Utah State University,[1] in collegiate tournaments organized by the United States Handball Association.

History

[edit | edit source]

Handball started as a class at Utah State in 2001 by Herm Olsen as a result of, what he felt was, declining participation in the game in younger generations.[2][3] He coached the team for more than 20 years, instilling a "tradition of winning"[4][5] in the program, and oversaw the development of 11 individual national champions, two doubles championship teams, and led the Aggies to Men's and Women's national team championships in 2022.[6][7] Olsen was named the US Handball Association Coach of the year in 2021[8] and was inducted into the Utah Handball Hall of Fame on September 27, 2025.

In what proved to be his final year, Utah State was co-coached by Olsen and Stacey Marble during the 2022-2023 season.[9] The Aggies won a Combined national team championship and another Men's national team championship.[10] Following Olsen's retirement, Marble assumed full control of the team ahead of the 2023-2024 season.[6]
