The 2023-24 season marks Nikki (Lobach) Horanburg's third year as assistant coach with Messiah University women’s basketball.
Horanburg is a 2008 graduate of Messiah University and played three years with the Falcons’ basketball program.
A 2018 Hall of Honor inductee at Messiah University, Nikki completed one of the most accomplished and decorated careers in program history. She was named a WBCA First Team All-American in 2007 and 2008, and in 2008 she led Messiah to a 30-3 record and finish as the Division III National Runner-Up. Nikki was the Conference Player of the Year in both 2007 and 2008, two separate seasons in which she scored more than 500 points, averaged more than 17 points per game, and shot better than 50-percent from the floor. She was also a part of conference champion teams in each of her three full seasons.
Nikki's 16.6 points per game average is first all-time in program history, and she is sixth all-time in career points with 1,378. Her 570 points during the 2007-08 campaign is tied atop the leaderboard with Jamie Noble ’85 for most in program history.
