Natalie Cohen joined the Carnegie Mellon University volleyball staff as a full-time assistant coach in August 2019. Cohen came to Pittsburgh after serving as the head men's and women's volleyball coach at Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts. Cohen's first season on the sidelines for the Tartans witnessed a 22-8 season with the program's fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Championship tournament. The Tartans had two different win streaks of six and a season-opening win streak of seven, topped three nationally-ranked teams, and finished the regular season ranked 22nd in the nation. Cohen's second season was stripped to just four matches, all played in the spring, because of COVID-19 canceling the fall season. The Tartans went 3-1 in those matches with the lone loss coming on the road to a Division II program. In 2021, the Tartans finished with a 14-14 mark, placed fourth in the UAA, and had five players earn All-Association recognition. Cohen's fourth season on the sidelines saw the Tartans return to the NCAA Championship tournament and win a first-round match. The Tartans placed fourth in the UAA Tournament for the third straight time and won more the 20 matches for the second time during Cohen's tenure. Cohen received her masters in Sport Coaching from West Virginia University in 2020 and will complete the master of science in Counseling Psychology program at Chatham University in August of 2024.
