The Texas A&M volleyball team takes great pride in giving back to the Bryan/College Station community. The Aggies participate in numerous charitable activities throughout the year, including the annual Aggies CAN Food Drive, various coat and toy drives, HOSTS (Help One Student to Succeed) and The Big Event. In addition, the team enjoys giving clinics at local schools, introducing young children to the sport of volleyball.

“The Big Event is a powerful and meaningful way for not just student-athletes, but all student organizations to gather and give back to the community and show our appreciation. Working together like this gives a new dimension to the word ‘team’, and to be able to participate and help in something bigger than yourself is very rewarding and helps you understand what is important in life.” – Mary Batis The Aggie volleyball team participates in the annual Big Event, the largest student-led service project in the nation. This year, the team helped with a beautiﬁcation project at a local church and also helped construct a sand volleyball court.

“Ray is incredible. There are not enough words to describe the impact she has made on my life. She doesn’t even realize it. She has taught me that working hard is doing more than you ever thought possible. I have achieved more, because of her, than I ever imagined I could. She is my inspiration and a true solid rock in my life.” – Mary Batis

THE AGGIES

COMING OF AGE 2008 AGGIE VOLLEYBALL SEASON OUTLOOK Texas A&M is determined more than ever to make noise and turn heads this season. The Aggies not only want to cause a scene in the competitive Big 12 Conference, but they intend to crash the NCAA party after being left at the door last year despite posting a 21-10 record. “I am eagerly anticipating that this team is going to just let loose and really take off,” said A&M head coach Laurie Corbelli, who is entering her 16th season at the helm of the Aggies. “I feel it coming. This team is on the verge of doing great things.” With the majority of the players being experienced juniors and seniors, this close-knit seasoned team is coming of age. They have been through two heartbreaking seasons and saw A&M’s streak of 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances come to an end. Despite the adversity, the team has bonded like no other and built an unmatched resolve. With increased maturity, understanding and talent, the Aggies are focused on erasing the bad memories of the last two seasons by having the experience of a lifetime in 2008. “This team won’t be satisfied with an NCAA second-round match,” Corbelli said. “They are setting their hearts and their minds on going very deep into the tournament. They have the ambition. They have the work ethic. Maybe more than in the last five years, we have a group that so much of it is about the intangibles and the belief. This group just gets it.”

ight letterwinners return with a vengeance, including six players who average nearly two years of starting experience at the Division I level. In

addition, Corbelli welcomes five talented newcomers, four of whom enrolled at A&M in January and gained valuable playing experience within the system by participating in spring drills, as well as going on the team’s well-timed two-week training trip to Europe in June. Four of the five returning starters have at least two years of starting experience. Senior right-side hitter KELSEY BRYANT (6-2) and junior outside hitters SARAH AMMERMAN (6-2) and MARY BATIS (6-0) have started for the Aggies since their freshman seasons. Junior setter KRISTEN SCHEVIKHOVEN (5-9), who transferred to A&M last season, also has two years of starting experience, including her freshman campaign at Northern Colorado. Senior JILLIAN PHILLIPS (6-1), one of the most athletic and tenacious middle blockers in the Big 12, anchored the Aggies’ front row in her first season as a starter last year, hitting .334 and leading the team with 1.2 blocks per game. “This is one of the most veteran teams we have had in awhile, and the majority of them are only juniors,”

Corbelli said. “They’ve all matured. They’ve been patient yet aggressively striving to get better. I know what they have put into this program, and it is their turn. The time is right. They are ready, and there are no excuses.” New to the Aggies’ starting lineup but not new to the team or to a starting role is senior DARLA DONALDSON. The fierce 6-2 middle blocker transferred to A&M last season after starting two seasons at Cal State Northridge. She is expected to step in for Kelly Stanton, who completed her eligibility last year. The other two returning letterwinners – setter JOLA KELNER (6-0) and outside hitter JENNIFER BANSE (6-0) – also have significant court experience entering their third season with the program. They have played the vital role of being first off the bench for their respective positions and could just as easily be considered starters based on their ability to step in without the team skipping a beat. “We have a lot of options,” Corbelli said. “Both setters are highly trained, know the system and the players love playing with both of them. We have depth at the outside hitter position. They are experienced and reliable, and being primary passers, their passing has leveled out and really helped us achieve a more balanced attack more often. “They all have steadied their confidence in all areas of their game. That is what investing those seasons on the court is going to be bringing them. They haven’t sat on the bench as freshmen and sophomores wondering what it will be like when they get into the Big

“This team won’t be satisﬁed with an NCAA second-round match. They are setting their hearts and their minds on going very deep into the tournament. They have the ambition. They have the work ethic.

into the season. Using the NCAA’s newly instituted 25-point scoring format, the Aggies experimented with diﬀerent lineups and strategies while playing increasingly competitive youth, junior national and professional teams. “The Europe trip was such great volleyball, and the team rose to the occasion,” Corbelli said. “They had some great experiences there, and it is something they will remember. The competition really lent itself to helping us build our momentum as we went through the trip, and I expect it is going to carry over nicely into our pre-conference.”

MARY BATIS who was slowed by a bout with anemia last year, and the return of the athletic and dynamic Phillips, the Aggies are a constant threat in the middle both on offense and defense. Although the middle blocker position is an area of strength, it also could be a major concern should an injury occur. Bryant, an excellent blocker and deceptive attacker on the right, would be the top choice to move into the position if needed. Should Bryant move to the middle, Batis offers options on the right, having competed at that position in the spring, as well as Ringel. The team also will be relying on Faulkner and Ringel, who will anchor the back row defense, and along with the other primary passers will be critical in order to get the offense firing on all cylinders. “Going into preseason drills, my concerns are, No. 1, serving and passing, and No. 2, staying healthy,” Corbelli said. “They will be critical to our success. If we are to reach the goals of a Big 12 title and going deeper than we’ve ever gone in the tournament, then it will be required that we serve and pass with the best and that we stay healthy.”

&M got a jump on the season by taking a foreign tour, which the NCAA allows once every four years. In addition to taking in the sites of the cities and learning about the various cultures, the trip presented valuable opportunities that will carryover

second in the Missouri Valley Conference, was not one of the league’s three teams selected to the NCAA tournament field. “LSU, Minnesota and Creighton are incredibly strong programs and will give us all we can handle,” Corbelli said. A&M makes its home debut Sept. 5-6, hosting American, Siena and BYU. Both American and Siena won their conference tournaments last year to earn an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament, and BYU ranked No. 12 in the final AVCA Top 25 after advancing to the NCAA regionals. “This home tournament may be one of the best we have had in a long time, since we had UCLA here, and that has been a while,” Corbelli said. “Both American and Siena are coming off conference championships and return a lot of experience, and BYU has a great tradition of strong volleyball. We are going to have some great competition.” After a Tuesday home match against Texas State, A&M plays its final preseason tournament Sept. 12-13 at the University of San Diego, where the Aggies take on Cal State Fullerton and Southern Mississippi and then wrap up the tournament against the host Toreros, who advanced to the NCAAs and ranked No. 25 in the final poll last year. A&M opens Big 12 play at Iowa State on Sept. 17. The Cyclones advanced to the Sweet 16 last year and ranked No. 17 in the final poll. The Aggies’ first Big 12 home match is Sept. 21 against Oklahoma, another NCAA participant that came back from a 0-2 game deficit to defeat A&M at G. Rollie in both teams’ league opener last year. The loss potentially cost A&M a trip to the NCAAs. The Aggies conclude the regular season at Missouri on Nov. 28. The Tigers tied A&M for sixth place in the Big 12 in 2007, but unlike the Aggies, they received an at-

espite going .500 in one of the top leagues -- if not the top league -- in the country last year, A&M’s weakerthan-expected preseason schedule was a point of contention for the NCAA selection committee. There will be no room for that argument this season as the Aggies embark on an ambitious schedule starting August 29-30 at the Bluejay Invitational in Omaha, Neb. Overall, seven of A&M’s 10 preseason matches will be against teams that advanced to the NCAA tournament in 2007. In addition, 12 of 20 conference matches will be against NCAA teams. “This schedule would have been a nightmare last year, but this year we are very ready for it,” Corbelli said. The Aggies open against SEC-rival LSU and then face Minnesota, both NCAA tournament teams last season. A&M closes out the weekend against host Creighton, which, despite ﬁnishing tied for JILLIAN PHILLIPS, KELSEY

best-ever season would put the Aggies back where they started the season, Omaha, the host city of the Final Four. “I’m not going to say it couldn’t happen,” Corbelli said. “If things fall into place as we go, we continue to improve and we serve and pass with the best of them, then things would look really good for us to have that kind of goal. In the players’ minds, they have that kind of goal.”

History is wrought with examples of famous partnerships. Some like Batman and Robin were heroes who promoted good and conquered evil. Others like the Lone Ranger and Tonto were legends who tamed the wild western prairies. And still others like Frank and Jesse James were notorious outlaws famous for spreading crime and chaos.

hen the Corbellis came to A&M in 1993, the twosome took over a program that had never placed higher than a secondplace tie in the six-team Southwest Conference, had never won 20 or more games in a season, nor had advanced to the NCAA playoffs in the six years preceding their hiring. In only their first season at the helm of the Aggies, however, the Corbellis turned around a team that had finished in a fourth-place tie in league play with a 3-7 record and 19-17 overall mark the previous year to a 7-3, second-place showing in conference play and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Championships. A&M ended the season with an impressive 27-8 record, making Laurie the winningest first-year coach in the history of the program. The triumphs have continued to multiply. After ending the 1994 season with a reappearance in the second round of the NCAA tournament and a 19-14 record, A&M began the 1995 campaign with a vengeance by defeating defending national champion and top-ranked Stanford in the second match of the season. At the time, the victory marked only the second time in the history of A&M men’s and women’s athletics that an Aggie team defeated a No. 1-ranked team

ut whether they were real or imaginary, good or bad, each of these partnerships managed to go down in history. In March 1993, Texas A&M officials resurrected a dynamic duo from the pages of volleyball history, hiring 1984 Olympic silver medalist Laurie Corbelli and her husband, John Corbelli, an assistant coach for the ’84 Olympic Team, to take over a promising women’s volleyball program. With Laurie as the head coach and John as the associate head coach, the coaching tandem instantly established itself as one of the most highly respected college coaching staffs in the country. The couple utilized their elite playing experiences and coaching knowledge to rebuild a program and rapidly develop it into a top national contender that has for the most part been a permanent fixture in the NCAA tournament. It didn’t take long for Laurie to earn the honorable distinction of being the winningest coach in the history of the A&M volleyball program. Laurie, who sports an overall 22-year career record of 427-250 (.631), enters the 2008 campaign with a 327-144 record and a .694 winning percentage in 15 seasons at A&M. The Corbellis directed the Aggies to within one match of reaching the Final Four in both 1999 and 2001 and have led A&M to the NCAA regional semifinals five times. Overall, the Corbellis’ teams have reached the NCAA tournament 13 times in the last 15 years and are only one of 18 teams in the nation to accomplish that feat. In addition, A&M is one of only 11 teams to advance to the NCAA second round at least 12 times since the Corbellis came to A&M in 1993. Furthermore, the Aggies have reached the 20-win milestone 11 of 15 seasons with the Corbellis at the helm, and A&M has been ranked in the final Top 25 Poll nine of the past 13 years. With the Aggies’ 2006 No. 4 nationally ranked recruiting class beginning to blossom, extraordinary feats will undoubtedly continue to accumulate.

during the regular season. The Aggies finished second in the SWC behind eventual national runner-up Texas with an 8-2 record and appeared in the NCAA tournament for an unprecedented third consecutive season. After advancing to the Sweet Sixteen, A&M finished the season with a 23-7 record and was ranked No. 15 in the final coaches poll, a then all-time high for the A&M volleyball program.

he Aggies broke into the national top 10 for the ﬁrst time in the history of the program in 1996 and held the No. 10 spot for four weeks. They ﬁnished third in the inaugural season of the Big 12 Conference with a 15-5 record and ended the season with a 25-8 mark after advancing to the second round of

the NCAA tournament for the fourth consecutive year. A&M took another step forward in 1997 as the Aggies won first and second-round matches in the NCAA Championship’s expanded 56-team field. It marked the first time A&M had won two matches in the tournament. Despite dropping a tight five-game battle against sixth-ranked BYU in the East Regional semifinal, the Aggies finished 26-8 and ranked No. 13, another record-high in the season-ending poll. The Corbellis’ 1998 recruiting class was ranked sixth in the nation, and the group promptly played an integral part in another successful season for the Aggies. With three freshmen — Jenna Moscovic, Michelle Cole and Brandi Mount — in the starting lineup, the Aggies snapped No. 3 Nebraska’s 36-match regular-season winning streak and were the only Big 12 team to defeat the league champion and Final Fourbound team that year. The victory against the Huskers helped bolster A&M to a season-ending eight-match conference winning streak, equaling the longest conference winning streak in school history. The Aggies advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament and finished with a 21-9 record and ranked 18th in the coaches final Top 25 Poll. In 1999, the Corbellis guided the Aggies to their first NCAA Elite Eight appearance, stunning No. 3 Hawai’i in Honolulu in the round of 16. A&M finished the season with a 28-6 record and ranked an all-time high ninth in the final coaches Top 25 Poll. In addition, senior middle blocker Amber Woolsey became the first Aggie to garner first-team All-America laurels by the AVCA. Another home victory against the higher-ranked Huskers earlier in the ’99 season helped boost the Aggies to their all-time high second-place finish in the Big 12 standings, one win behind three-time champion Nebraska. Furthermore, the Aggies completed the season 16-0 in the friendly confines of G. Rollie White Coliseum, including two home victories in the NCAA tournament, marking the first time an A&M team finished a season undefeated at home with the exception of the 1978 team, which went 4-0.

aurie became the all-time winningest coach in Texas A&M volleyball history on Oct. 18, 2000, posting the 181st victory of her Aggie career as the Aggies defeated rival Texas and posted their first win in Austin since 1979. The Aggies went on to tie for second in the Big 12 behind eventual nationalchampion Nebraska with a 14-6 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament despite returning only two starters from A&M’s then-most celebrated season in the program’s 25-year history. Moscovic earned All-American honorable mention from Volleyball Magazine as A&M set all-time season records and ranked second in the national statistics in both kills and assists per game. The Aggies finished the year ranked 23rd in the final national Top 25 Poll with a 20-9 record. The Corbellis’ 2001 Aggies equaled the most successful season in A&M volleyball history, reaching the NCAA Elite Eight for the second time. The Aggies ranked 11th in the final poll in 2001 after upsetting No. 6 Wisconsin in the regional semifinals and finishing the season with a 26-6 record. Four of the six losses were to Final Four teams, including two setbacks to eventual national champion Stanford. In her final season, Moscovic led the nation in triple-doubles and became only the second Aggie to capture first-team All-American laurels by the AVCA. In addition, she directed the 2001 squad to a No. 2 ranking in the national statistics in both kills and assists per game for the second consecutive season. In the competitive Big 12, Moscovic and the Aggies placed second to Final Four-bound Nebraska for the third consecutive season and tied the school record for league wins with a 16-4 mark. In 2002, the Aggies were rebuilding after losing five starters following one of the most successful seasons in the history of the program. Despite the inexperienced lineup, A&M managed to reach the second round of the NCAA tournament for the 10th consecutive year before being eliminated by the national-champion Women of Troy. Freshman phenom Laura Jones and sophomore middle blocker Melissa Munsch led the youth movement as the Aggies went 21-10 overall and 12-8 in the Big 12. The Aggies entered the 2003 season unranked; nonetheless, the Corbellis managed to direct A&M to its third NCAA regional appearance in five years and a No. 16 final ranking.

tacy Sykora (1995-98) was the Corbellis’ first player to earn All-America distinction from the AVCA, earning second team honors in both 1997 and 1998. The charismatic Sykora went on to earn the ultimate honor of being named Olympian, becoming the first Aggie to play on an Olympic volleyball. The former A&M outside hitter honored her collegiate coach by donning the No. 5 jersey -- the same number Laurie wore at the ’84 Olympic Games – and was Team USA’s starting libero at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Sykora went on to earn “Best Digger” laurels at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Most recently she became A&M’s first-ever varsity athlete in any sport to be a three-time Olympian as she also was named to the 2008 Olympic Team. The Corbellis have had at least one student-athlete receive All-America recognition in 10 of the last 13 years.

he Aggies became one of only six teams to make a 12th consecutive appearance in the NCAA second round in 2004. A&M ranked No. 20 in the final poll after finishing the year with a 19-9 mark, including a 14-6 record in the Big 12. And for the first time in A&M history, two Aggies were named AllAmerica in the same year as Jones was named to the AVCA’s second team and senior Munsch was named to the third team. In addition, Munsch was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player, a first by an A&M player. A&M made its 13th straight NCAA appearance in 2005 but was eliminated in the first round for the first time in the Corbellis’ 13-year tenure after falling to Northwestern in five games and finishing with a 16-14 record. Jones, who broke more than 30 A&M records in her final season, led the nation with 6.09 kills per game and capped her illustrious career by becoming the third player in A&M history to be named to the AVCA first team. It marked the eighth AVCA All-America honor bestowed to a Corbelli-coached player in nine years. Despite having four freshmen, sometimes five, on the court, A&M began 2006 with a 7-1 record, including a win against Loyola in the Aggies’ home opener on Sept. 8 which gave Laurie her 400th career victory and her 300th win at A&M. The youth-laden Aggies struggled to a 5-15 mark in the extremely competitive Big 12 and finished the season 12-16 overall and missed the NCAA Championships for the first time under the Corbellis’ tenure. The Aggies got off to a promising start in 2007, setting a school record by winning their first 10 matches. A&M finished the regular season 21-10 and was stunned when the Aggies did not receive an at-large big to the NCAA tournament.

coach and Laurie as the assistant, the team competed in tournaments in Seoul, Hong Kong and Singapore. Before coming to A&M, they earned recognition for being the only husband and wife to serve concurrently as head coaches of Division I volleyball programs. They coached against each other in California, with Laurie at Santa Clara and John at San Jose State. Though Laurie is 1-3 versus her husband in the head-to-head series, she has proven that she is a winner. In her three years at Santa Clara, she posted a 61-35 record and was twice honored as the West Coast Conference Coach of the Year. In 1992, she led Santa Clara to a 21-11 record and collected WCC and West Region Coach of the Year honors as the Broncos won the league title and made their ﬁrst-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason tournament. In 1991, she was named WCC Co-Coach of the Year after directing the Broncos to a 10-4 sec-

ond-place conference finish. Santa Clara went on to earn its first-ever postseason appearance, where the Broncos finished third in the National Invitational Volleyball Championships. Santa Clara ended the season with a 26-11 record, the best finish in school history.

aised in Garland, Texas, the former Laurie Flachmeier ﬁrst served as a head coach in 1986 at the University of San Francisco. During her four years at USF, the Lady Dons posted a 39-71 ledger. In 1987, USF ﬁnished third in the competitive WCC, and Laurie was named WCC Coach of the Year. While coaching, she also was pursuing her bachelor’s degree in education, which she completed at USF in 1988. Along with the successes she has achieved on the sidelines, Laurie also has tasted success on the court and in 1998 was presented the prestigious Flo Hyman All-Time Great Player Award by USA Volleyball. After playing three years for Texas Lutheran College, Laurie played for the United States Women’s National Volleyball team from 1978-84 and was a two-time member of the U.S. Olympic Team. After the boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, Laurie returned to help lead the U.S. team to a silver medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. She also was a member of the National Team that competed in the ’78 and ’82 World Championships, the ’79 and ’83 Pan American Games and the ’79 World Cup Competition. In 1987, Laurie played Major League Volleyball for the San Jose Golddiggers and was named the Most Valuable Player in the league’s inaugural season. She also was named MVP of the MLV’s season-ending all-star game in 1989. Laurie has participated in volleyball competitions in more than 25 countries and has served as an instructor in more than 50 national volleyball clinics around the country. In addition, she has served on numerous committees for USA Volleyball and the American Volleyball Coaches Association and also has served as a motivational speaker for numerous organizations.

ohn Corbelli’s credentials are just as impressive. In addition to Laurie’s 22 seasons in collegiate volleyball, John brings 29 years of coaching experience to the A&M program. John, who served as assistant coach for the 2008 U.S. Women’s Junior National Team that won gold at the NORCECA Women’s Junior Continental Championship at Saltillo, Mexico, came from San Jose State, where he spent three years as the head women’s volleyball coach and five years as an assistant coach. He was hired as the head coach prior to the 1991 season after serving as the interim head coach in 1990. In his first season at San Jose State’s helm, John guided the Spartans to a 21-8 record and their ninthconsecutive postseason appearance. After the Spartans went 12-14 in 1991, his 1992 squad posted a 14-17 record and placed fifth in the competitive Big West conference race. Born in Denver, Colo., and raised in Hawai’i, John

a program that they classiﬁed as a sleeping giant. Laurie and John provide similar coaching philosophies to form what they describe as a complimentary partnership that sees eye-to-eye. They also contribute equally impressive backgrounds to A&M. They were successful as a coach-player combo in the Pan American and Olympic Games and as a coaching duo in the Far East. Both have compiled resumes that speak for themselves, and the combination of the two continues to prove victorious for Texas A&M volleyball.

Assistant Coaching Career: • • • • •

Texas A&M (1992-Present) … (Named associate head coach in 1995) San Jose State (1985-89) U.S. National Women’s Volleyball Team (1982-84) Nebraska (1981-82) UC Santa Barbara – men’s and women’s teams (1979-80)

earned a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1979 from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he was a four-year letterwinner for the nationally ranked Gauchos. Upon graduation, John made his collegiate coaching debut at his alma mater, serving as the assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams. He then moved on to the University of Nebraska in 1981, where he served as an assistant coach for the women’s team that won a Big Eight championship. In 1982, John was named an assistant coach for the U.S. National Women’s Volleyball Team. During his tenure, the team — including Laurie — won a silver medal at the 1983 Pan American Games, as well as at the 1984 Olympics. John joined the coaching staﬀ at San Jose State in July 1985 and also served as the head coach of the Chrysler Women’s Volleyball Team that won USVBA

national championships in both 1987 and 1988. Like his wife, John also excelled while playing on the international level and was a member of the U.S. Men’s National Team for the 1978-79 seasons. He also competed at the 1979 World University Games.

n the spring of 1993, A&M oﬃcials were looking for an experienced leader for the Aggie volleyball program, and the Corbellis were seeking to fulﬁll the one dream that had eluded them — the chance to coach together once again. In the process, A&M secured two coaches who have achieved feats that dreams are made of, while the Corbellis reached their dream of working together to rouse

Q&A WITH LAURIE CORBELLI that Texas A&M athletics allows me to give kids that opportunity is really cool.

S TA F F

W H AT I S I T L I K E TO COACH AT T E X A S A & M ? I imagine it is unlike any other place, with all the unique traditions, the family feel, the complete college-town atmosphere and just having the potential to become a great program given the support from the administration. It has really been a career dream come true. The Aggie spirit certainly makes it the most fun, knowing how enthusiastic and passionate Aggies are for their school and their teams. Our administration realizes what it takes to be the best to get to the top. The philosophy is that we want to do everything that we are allowed to do to the extent of the NCAA rules. The administration is going to provide it if it is allowed. When you know that your administration is behind you in so many ways, it truly inspires you.

W H AT I S YO U R COACHING PHILOSOPHY? I know that what goes around comes around. What I give to the team and what I can inspire them to give to the program, the amount and the intensity, will reward us in the future. I try to do the right thing with people being the priority in the equation; what is most important for these young people. That is so much bigger than just volleyball, and the fact that we are teachers of life, not just of the game of volleyball, is the responsibility I feel when I make decisions regarding the players and the program. At the same time, finding that fine balance between demanding a ton of energy and time commitment from these girls, and also respecting the balance that they need in their lives. I treasure those kinds of decisions every day, and I don’t take them lightly. I’ve been coaching for 20-plus years, and when I’m asked what is the most important thing I have learned from all my diﬀerent seasons, my only answer now is how the teamwork and attitude are underrated at any point. I think they are the very most important parts of team sports.

H O W I M P O R TA N T I S FA M I LY? To me, family is what comes ﬁrst for these players. It feels safe for parents to have their kids come play here. Texas A&M has that

W H AT D O YO U LOOK FOR WHEN RECRUITING A P L AY E R?

community, family feel and the 12th Man. You are embraced from all of the different programs as soon as you arrive on campus, and you are a part of something. Because John and I happen to be a married couple, we train the team together, and we spend a lot of time with them. We are very important inﬂuences, because we see them nearly every day of their college life. That is one of the big reasons we coach, because we love being involved with young people and being a very inﬂuential part in this time of their lives. We share very strong values, and we show them a lot of care and love. Volleyball is our vehicle for portraying that in a lot of ways. And just the fact that we are all together on a team really makes it like family.

W H AT H A S B E E N OR IS MOST R E WA R D I N G F O R YO U A S A C O A C H ? The most rewarding thing for me is seeing my players go from age 18 to 22 having achieved their dreams or goals of having a positive and challenging volleyball career in college and getting an awesome education, and becoming bright, contributing members of society. We get only four years to help shape these kids, and I get to see the metamorphosis they go through from being young to being mature, contributing members of society. We keep track of them for the rest of their lives and see them become accountants, doctors, lawyers, teachers and mothers. I take a lot of pride in knowing that I played a large role in helping that develop. Former players continue to give back to the program, and many work our summer camps and get to know the younger players. I see all these mixtures of players from diﬀerent teams, but they all have the trademark of Aggie volleyball, the style, the love of it, their appreciation of it. And having them coming back to contribute is a positive sign, and it feels good to the Corbellis.

COMMENT ON HELPING PROVIDE A N E D U C AT I O N THROUGH VO L L E Y B A L L... A lot of the players who have come through the A&M program would not have been able to attend such a wonderful, highranked university without having a volleyball scholarship. The academic support at A&M has been evaluated as one of the best, and I can think of several players who probably would not have a degree if it had not been for Aggie volleyball. Who knows what would have happened in their lives had they not had the opportunity, and seeing them use their degree now gives me a very strong feeling of pride. I’m excited that I get the opportunity to help some kids that may not otherwise get the opportunity, and the fact

My eye is drawn immediately to the best athletes on the court. The athletic ability is the jumping, the movement. That is the first thing I notice, but second is seeing a player who instinctively can play this game. Usually the players who have an instinct for the game just have a passion for volleyball. They have taken the time to learn the game and think the game and live and breath the game. Just the passion and the attitude and understanding of the huge role each player plays is invaluable, maybe even more so than the talent. I’ve seen some great players who don’t look like athletes, and I’d have them in my program in a heartbeat if they wanted to come be an Aggie. Sports are very mental, and the player whose game seems to come a lot easier really stands out. You can see it in the decision making in rallies, the shot selection, the confidence they show, and the ease in which they handle themselves on the court. Those things are contagious on the court. Whether or not they are athletic, if they understand the game and effectively play the ball, then I really like those types of players. There are a lot of different ways to play this game, and I don’t ever want to get myself into a position that I am tunnel-visioned on one type of player. I am looking for the best package.

D O YO U H AV E A PA R T I C U L A R S T Y L E T H AT YO U L I K E TO R U N? I’m real big into ball control. Our defense and our ball control and the importance we put on fundamentals are what make it pretty volleyball and effective volleyball. It probably gets old for the players because it is beaten into their heads that ﬁrst ball goes to target. No exceptions! That then allows us to be a fast and precise offensive team. A fasttempo oﬀense is a little harder to perfect and it takes a little more time to train, but it is a lot more

fun. You can be more creative, and the variety helps keep the athletes sharp and focused. We will always have that passion for the ball control game, the defensive games where you just pop everything up and balls are going right to target because of all the repetition that we do. Also as the game is changing, the emphasis is shifting even more to the serving and the blocking to score sooner in a rally than waiting to have to play defense. We want to serve tougher and more strategically even more than before to take the opponent out of system and not allow them to get the ball to the desired player. And we are making sure our blocking is right on target, because as big as these players are getting now, the blockers are deﬁnitely taking up more space at the net. Once we get our serving and blocking where we want it, and if we have trained the team defensively the way we would like to, it is a lot simpler and we can get our speed of oﬀense going back at the opponent.

D E S C R I B E W H AT IT IS LIKE P L AY I N G I N T H E B I G 12 CONFERENCE. If you love to compete, you are in the right place because it is competitive every single night. The beauty of it is that it generates builtin motivation, built-in inspiration. I love it, and it is the way to go. The Big 12 really is a power conference. It is continuously getting ranked in the top two or three in the nation. We continue to get six or seven teams in the NCAAs every year. One of the hugest goals any team in the nation could have is to try to be the best team in this league. Winning in a conference like the Big 12 — even having a winning record in the Big 12 — is very, very challenging, especially playing 10 matches on the road and 10 at home. But I do believe it makes us better by a long shot. We’ve proven through all the years that playing in the Big 12 has prepared us sufficiently for the NCAA tournament. Twelve out of 15 seasons, we’ve gone to the second round and have gone beyond that half the time. We would not have been prepared for the NCAAs if not for our Big 12 schedule. And once in the NCAAs, it seems easier to get the team ready to go against whomever we have to meet. We’ve seen that style and those types of players in the Big 12. We’ve made

Te x a s A & M U n i v e r s i t y

so many diﬀerent adjustments on our side of the court during conference matches, and we’ve dealt with showing up in another gym and having even more pressure on us with possibly fans that are not welcoming. Just all of that makes your team less apprehensive when you enter the NCAAs.

WHY SHOULD POTENTIAL STUDENTAT H L E T E S CO N S I D E R CO M I N G TO A&M?

H O W D O YO U R EXPERIENCES WITH THE O LY M P I C S C O N T I N U E TO B E N E F I T YO U? I benefited so greatly from my commitment to eight hours a day for seven years to achieve a dream. I learned that it was so important to be disciplined and so important to train hard. I did it and I’m still alive, so I know my athletes can do it. I just feel like when a player is coming to play for me that I owe them. They are pretty much saying, ‘Here I am coach. I’m making the commitment for you to help me become the best I can be.’ I am not going to cheat them of that, and I know that what I ask them to do is not too much, not impossible, yet it is something they might not have ever tried before. I’ve seen so many tears of happiness, joy and pride after achieving something because of what we have demanded and because of the commitment that we ask. That is what I lived for seven years; the experiences and just the blood, sweat and tears to

get to your dream. We try to make sure that it is a dream for Aggies to become a Final Four team, and we make sure that our training is with that level of intensity. We ask for that level of commitment daily. I’m not going to send them away from here not having challenged them to the ultimate. One of my biggest goals is to make sure I am challenging them and pushing them every day. I also just know the rewards of the experience. Even though I have a silver medal, it wasn’t that particular match that I was playing for. I look back, and it was those seven years that I would do all over again because of how it enriched my life as a whole. When my athletes are ﬁnished at A&M, I would like for them to be saying, ‘I would like to do that all over again, and I would do it in a heartbeat.’

They will get the complete experience of school spirit, u n b e ata b l e a ca d e m i c s a n d exciting volleyball. They will have volleyball coaches who are very knowledgeable and very caring. In addition, they will have an opportunity to be a part of something that will be in their lives forever, much more than they can even realize. Sometimes when I talk to some of our former players, I ask what has been a beneﬁt of being from A&M. A lot of the answers relate to just the connections they have made, the people they have met, being an Aggie and going out into the working world and the business world. That Aggie ring has just connected them to so many people in so many instances no matter where they were, in Europe, in the big cities of New York and L.A., sitting on an airplane or in an airport or at a meeting. The Aggie ring has sparked conversation and

possible new friendships and new avenues to pursue or build a career. Because Aggies are so supportive of each other and want each other to be successful, that is one of the top things that I really try to emphasize to the players. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie.

W H AT I S I T L I K E TO C O M P E T E IN FRONT OF THE 12 T H M A N ? It still gives me goose bumps when the band starts playing and the students are standing and showing their strong support for the Aggies. It is unmatched. Our players say the same thing. It is an event and an experience that not only our players but also our opponents don’t forget. Our players will never forget the feeling of the constant support especially during competition. They feel proud and are keenly aware that they are representing the 12th Man. When I looked at this job and talked to people who had been at A&M as opposing coaches, the first comment those coaches made to me was, ‘Oh my gosh, to be on the home team in that place is very important. You don’t want to be the visitor.’ I would say that the 12th Man is good for at least three to five points a game. They certainly boost the Aggies’ confidence and adrenaline, and the Aggie yells put that question mark in the opponent’s head, which is what fans should be doing. G. Rollie has the perfect environment for volleyball. It is so nice that A&M has an awesome atmosphere built in with the 12th Man. It definitely makes a difference. We’ve never lost an NCAA match here at home, and that is such a strong legacy and an awesome statement to be able to tell your team when you do get awarded the home court for NCAAs. It is a big confidence builder and a big boost, and it draws out more fans to see us keep the streak going. In my experience, Texas A&M’s 12th Man spirit is unmatched in the nation.

DR. ELSA MURANO

S TA F F

PRESIDENT, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Dr. Elsa A. Murano is the 23rd President of Texas A&M University. Taking office on Jan. 3, 2008, at age 48, she is the first woman and first Hispanic-American to lead the oldest public institution of higher learning in Texas—now one of the largest teaching and research universities in the nation. Dr. Murano worked her way up the academic ranks-teaching and researchand into administration from an unconventional beginning. At the age of 2, her family departed from Havana, Cuba, when Fidel Castro came into power. After living in several Latin American countries, she and her family settled in Miami when she was 14 years old. At that time, she only knew Spanish, a language in which she is still fluent, but quickly mastered English and launched an educational career that carried her through the doctoral ranks. “Someday in the future, if I write a book, it will be called Only in America, because this great country has provided me so many opportunities, including the great honor of serving as President of Texas A&M University,” she is often quoted as saying. Her association with the university dates back to 1995, when she joined the Texas A&M faculty as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science and Associate Director of the Center for Food Safety within the Institute for Food Science and Engineering. Dr. Murano was named Director of the Center in 1997 and served in that position until 2001. Also, she rose to the rank of Professor and was named holder of the Sadie Hatfield Professorship in Agriculture. Dr. Murano interrupted her Texas A&M service in 2001 when President George W. Bush asked her to serve as Under Secretary for Food Safety for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making her the highest-ranking food safety official in the U.S. government. In leading the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, she was responsible for an agency with a budget of approximately $1 billion and about 10,000

employees, with the mission of working to improve public health through the application of science in policy decisions. She returned to Aggieland in January 2005 as Vice Chancellor and Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, joint positions in which she served until being appointed President of Texas A&M. As Vice Chancellor and former Director of Texas AgriLife Research (formerly the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station), she led a transformation of agricultural programs and four state agencies within The Texas A&M University System to the beneﬁt of students, peers and the agricultural community represented in 254 counties across Texas. While serving as Dean, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences experienced signiﬁcant growth in enrollment and enhancement of its teaching, research and service endeavors. In conjunction with her deanship, Dr. Murano chaired a blue-ribbon task force to study ways for enhancing the undergraduate experience at the University, which has ultimately become known as “The Murano Report.” A noted expert on food safety, Dr. Murano was principal investigator or coprincipal investigator in research projects totaling more than $8.7 million during her professorial career, initially at Iowa State University and continuing at Texas A&M. She has been widely published, as author or co-author of seven books, book chapters or monographs, and scores of scholarly papers, abstracts and related materials. Dr. Murano began her professorial career in 1990 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Preventative Medicine at Iowa State, the position she held prior to joining the Texas A&M faculty. She received a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Florida International University, and earned both a master’s degree in anaerobic microbiology and a doctorate in food science and technology from Virginia Tech. She is married to Dr. Peter S. Murano, Associate Professor of Nutrition and Food Science and Director of Texas A&M’s Institute for Obesity Research and Program Development.

BILL BYRNE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

pansion to Reed Arena provides, practice and weight facilities, training rooms, team locker rooms, offices, study lounges as well as meeting rooms and other amenities. • MARKETING MACHINE. Since he took on leadership of the University of Oregon Athletic Department in 1984, Byrne has been known as one of the most innovative and influential leaders in terms of marketing his collegiate programs. At Oregon, he established a full-time marketing and promotions operation that formed the Oregon Sports Network for statewide, in-house production of Ducks games on radio and television. At Nebraska, Byrne’s HuskerVision became the model for all collegiate programs in its ability to promote and market all of the NU athletic programs, while also improving fan enjoyment and atmosphere at games. Just as significantly, HuskerVision and the marketing department also generated significant sponsorship revenues for the athletic department. Not surprisingly, Byrne is making an equally impressive impact on the A&M marketing efforts. In January 2006, Texas A&M awarded the school’s athletic multimedia marketing rights for 10 years to a joint venture of Learfield Communications, ISP Sports, and FSN Southwest known as Texas A&M Sports Properties. The agreement is one of the top multimedia rights contracts in the country and includes significant additional income for the athletic department throughout the length of the agreement. In fact, revenue generated from the multimedia rights agreement financed the athletic department’s new video screen project including Kyle Field, Reed Arena and a portable screen for all sports.

S TA F F

In 1941, as he was preparing to be deployed to Gen. George S. Patton’s Third Division, Clancy Byrne hitchhiked from a military base in West Texas to College Station so that he could watch the Texas A&M-Texas game on Thanksgiving Day. The Aggies were outscored, but won an admirer in Clancy, who went on to serve with the 776th Tank Destroyer Battalion in the Allied Forces’ World War II efforts. During that game, Texas A&M and its fans left a positive impression on Byrne that he never forgot. A little more than 60 years later, Clancy Byrne’s son, Bill, also made a voyage to Aggieland. Like his father, the younger Byrne was instantly captivated by Texas A&M, its traditions and its fans. Unlike his father, however, the purpose of Bill Byrne’s trip to College Station wasn’t to take a peek at A&M, but rather to take the Aggies to the peak of college athletics. Byrne arrived at Texas A&M as the Director of Athletics in January of 2003, sporting outstanding credentials and a proven track record of producing champions. In fact, during a distinguished and dynamic career that has spanned more than three decades in collegiate athletics, Byrne has collected enough hardware (championship rings, plaques, honors, etc.) to open his own home-improvement store. With 16 national championships and 122 conference titles under his direction, his teams have enjoyed success across the board. Byrne came to College Station from Nebraska where his hard work put the Huskers’ financial books in the black and tripled the annual athletic budget. Byrne’s Nebraska teams also compiled an extremely impressive string of seven straight Top 25 finishes in the Directors’ Cup Division I-A standings, making him one of the most admired and respected athletic directors in the country. Since his arrival in Aggieland, A&M has earned four national championships and 23 Big 12 Conference titles with promises of more to come. Byrne’s dedication to the mission of Building Champions has led the Aggies to its highest ranking ever in Directors’ Cup Division I-A finishes. But what Texas A&M fans, former students, student-athletes, employees and school officials quickly discovered about Byrne, upon his arrival in Aggieland, is that this former offensive lineman would rather toil in the trenches than rest on his laurels. His success as an administrator is best defined by his unwavering work ethic, not the amount of gold he has placed in trophy cases throughout the years. Byrne’s passion and professional trademark is his relentless pursuit of excellence, and in an extremely short amount of time at Texas A&M, he infused the athletic department with a new vision for the future. Byrne is living up to his pioneering reputation on many different levels at Texas A&M. Here are a few of the examples:

• COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE. From a professional standpoint, everything Byrne does—every initiative he undertakes, every coach or administrator he hires and every dollar he raises—is done with one ultimate goal in mind: Building Champions. That two-word phrase has become the mission statement of Texas A&M’s athletic department under Byrne’s guidance, and it encompasses both his short-term and long-term objectives. He expects excellence from those who work with him, and he also demands it from himself. Throughout his career, Byrne has been recognized with the highest awards that an athletics administrator can receive. Among other things, he was recognized by the U.S. Sports Academy with the 2007 Carl Maddox Sports Management Award, he was the 2002 winner of the John L. Toner Award; the 1999 Central Region National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director of the Year; president of NACDA in 1991-92; and the National Athletic Fundraisers Association Fundraiser of the Year in 1985. Bill Byrne is a 1967 graduate of Idaho State, where he also earned an MBA in 1971. He began his collegiate career as the director of alumni relations at his alma mater and then served as the executive director of the New Mexico Lobo Club (1976-79). He was the assistant athletic director at San Diego State (1980-82) and was an associate athletic director at Oregon for 18 months before being named the Director of Athletics in May of 1984. Byrne’s wife of forty years is Dr. Marilyn Kent Byrne, who has expertise in leadership development, team building, and executive coaching. The Byrnes have two sons—Bill Jr. and Greg. Bill is a vice president of Visa USA in San Francisco. Greg is associate athletic director for external aﬀairs at Mississippi State University. He and his wife Regina live in Starkville with their two sons, Nicholas and Davis.

• SMART HIRES. Byrne earned his reputation for outstanding hiring practices first at Oregon, where he became one of the youngest athletic directors in the nation in 1984. That reputation was further enhanced at Nebraska, where Byrne hired 15 head coaches during his tenure. Nine of those coaches reached NCAA postseason play during their first three years. That trend has continued at Texas A&M, where eight of his nine head-coaching hires have achieved postseason competition within their first two years. Byrne’s ninth hire, Mike Sherman, has not yet completed his first season. • BILL THE BUILDER. The Portland Oregonian first referred to Byrne in those terms as a tribute to the major changes made to the landscape of Oregon’s athletic facilities during Byrne’s tenure. In Lincoln, Byrne oversaw numerous facility upgrades valued at more than $100 million. And at Texas A&M, Byrne has made major strides in transforming the Aggies’ athletic facilities into some of the finest in the country. Byrne came to Aggieland in time to witness the Texas A&M football team move into the state-of-the-art, $27 million Bright Football Complex and Alice and Erle Nye Academic Center, which includes the football locker room, athletic training rooms, rehabilitation complex, meeting rooms, football coaches’ offices, players’ lounge and an academics center for all student-athletes under one roof. Not long after, he initiated design of a comprehensive master plan for Texas A&M’s overall athletic facilities, and in conjunction with the 12th Man Foundation—A&M’s athletic fundraising organization—he immediately helped secure several major gifts for the second phase of Texas A&M’s Championship Vision Capital Campaign. Under Byrne’s direction, the McFerrin Athletic Center was conceptualized and construction is almost complete. The center is a multi-sport indoor complex including a state-of-the-art hydraulic track capable of hosting National Indoor Track Championships, providing an indoor practice facility for soccer, football and all other sports. The facility boasts two full-size football fields, a Magic Carpet turf system and seating for 5,000 spectators. The Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball is also nearing completion. This ex-

NCAA COMPLIANCE DEAR PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE: As a prospective student-athlete, you may have the athletic ability to play at the Division I level. If so, you may be exposed to a large amount of recruitment from various universities across the nation. Throughout the recruitment process, coaches may reference various NCAA rules and regulations. The rules are designed for various reasons, but the two primary reasons are to ease the pressures on the prospective student-athlete and to level the playing field from one university to another.

S TA F F

During the recruiting process you may have some of the following questions: When and how often may I visit a university’s campus? How many times may a coach observe me in practice or a competition? When, where and how often may a coach telephone me? What academic credentials do I need to be eligible to play collegiate sports? All of these answers and more may be obtained from Texas A&M University or the NCAA by requesting the NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete. This guide may be provided to a prospective student-athlete at any time. The guide will discuss issues related to Division I, II and III, academic eligibility, financial aid, recruitment and many more. To receive the guide, simply request it from the Texas A&M coach who is recruiting you or call the NCAA Hotline at 1-800-638-3731 or go online at www.ncaa.org. Select the Academics and Athletes link, and then select the Eligibility and Recruiting link and then click on the Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete.

COMPLIANCE STAFF (L-R): Matt Callaway, Brad Barnes, Susan Tatum and David Batson.

Violations of NCAA rules during your recruitment may jeopardize your collegiate eligibility; therefore, you and your parents need to learn as much as possible about the recruitment process.

NCAA FYI FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES When do you become a prospective student-athlete? When you start classes for the 9th grade. Before the 9th grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if the university provides you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the university does not provide to prospective students generally. When do you become a recruited prospective studentathlete? There are four ways: 1. A university provides you with an official (i.e., expense-paid) visit; 2. A university coach or booster* has an in-person, offcampus encounter with you or your parent(s) or legal guardian; 3. A university coach telephones you, your family or guardian for the purpose of recruitment on more than one occasion; or 4. A university issues you a National Letter of Intent or written offer of athletically related financial aid.

Does the NCAA require you to have your amateur status certified by the NCAA Clearinghouse? For students initially enrolling on or after Aug. 1, 2007, yes, the NCAA will require you to have your amateur status certified. Would you violate NCAA amateur rules if you enter into an agreement with an agent or a person who calls him/ herself something other than an agent (e.g., advisor) who is marketing your athletic ability? Yes, you would. It’s not permissible for a student-athlete to agree (orally or in writing) to be represented by or take benefits from an agent without jeopardizing NCAA eligibility. Please note that it does not matter what this person calls him/herself; if he or she is marketing your athletic ability, he or she is an agent. When may university coaches begin corresponding (including text messaging) with you? Telephoning you? Personally contacting you? Provide you with an official visit to the university?

*NOTE: At the Division I level, a representative of athletic interests (booster) may not solicit your enrollment in any manner (e.g., no phone calls, letters or in-person encounters).

The answers to these questions vary from sport to sport, but you may find them all in the NCAA’s Guide for the College Bound Student at www.ncaa.org or by calling the NCAA at 1-800-638-3731.

Does the NCAA require you to achieve certain academic minimum standards to be initially eligible?

When may you telephone a university coach or visit a university campus at your own expense?

Yes, it does. To be immediately eligible at a Division I university, you must be a qualifier. To be a qualifier means that you graduated from high school with at least 14 core courses (i.e., college preparatory courses that your high school will maintain on a form called a 48-H), and a minimum GPA in those core courses as well as a corresponding ACT or SAT score on a national testing date. You must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse to learn if you are a qualifier. You will find information on the Clearinghouse if you visit the internet website described above.

You may telephone a university coach at your own expense or visit a university at your own expense (i.e., unofficial visit) at any age and as often as you choose. May you and your family accept benefits from a university or its boosters? Unless the university staffer or booster is a member of your family or has a “pre-existing relationship” (call us to find out what this means) with you or your family, no, you may not accept such benefits. NCAA member institutions have decided that prospective studentathletes should be able to choose the university they attend without being influenced by gifts or other perks

given by a university or its boosters. You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangement such as cash, clothing, cars, improper expenses, transportation, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend an NCAA school. May a booster contact you, telephone you or write you? Unless the university staffer or booster is a member of your family, no, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact, telephone you or write you for the purpose of recruiting. May you ask Texas A&M former students about Texas A&M athletics? About non-athletic aspects of Texas A&M? You should not ask Texas A&M former students about Texas A&M athletics because NCAA rules prohibit former students or A&M boosters from discussing Texas A&M athletics with you or your parents/relatives. However, if you telephone or write former students about non-athletics aspects of Texas A&M (e.g., the business college), they may answer your questions. May you attend an A&M Club luncheon or meeting? Yes, but only under certain conditions. If the luncheon/ meeting is open to the general public, you may attend. Furthermore, you must pay for your own meal and transportation unless the A&M Club provides complimentary meals and transportation to all other guests on a basis unrelated to athletics (e.g., all high school seniors from the local community). An A&M Club may even invite you to attend a function, but the invitation may not be limited only to athletes; the invitation must be made available for non-athletic reasons (e.g., senior night, incoming A&M freshmen night, etc.) and must be sent in the same manner as for all other participating students. This same restriction will continue to apply after you sign a National Letter of Intent with Texas A&M. A Texas A&M signee must be treated the same as any other high school student. For example, you or any other prospects in attendance may not be singled out to be introduced, as this would be a violation of NCAA publicity legislation related to prospects.

LESSON LEARNED 2007 AGGIE VOLLEYBALL SEASON REVIEW It’s a goal of every team to earn a berth into the NCAA Championships, but just because a team surpasses the mythical requirement of a 20-win regular season doesn’t guarantee a spot in the prestigious 64-team postseason tournament. Texas A&M learned that the hard way in 2007.

REVIEW

he Aggies entered 2007 with 10 returning letterwinners, including four starters and a libero. All were adamant on getting A&M back to the tournament after having been a part of the team that saw A&M’s streak of 13-consecutive NCAA appearances come to an end in 2006. Snapping the long-standing tradition hadn’t set well with the Aggies, but they used it as motivation, dedicating themselves to their off-season workouts and determined to return to the NCAAs in ‘07. “There was really a strong commitment during the summer to stay and not only strengthen their bodies and their volleyball skills, but also to try to just strengthen the bond and the commitment from everybody,” A&M coach Laurie Corbelli said. “It was a pretty big sting to not go to the NCAAs in 2006 and to have a less than .500 record. That poor record in 2006 was just lingering in their heads, and they were going to do everything they could to prevent it from happening again.” Libero JEN MOORE, who would head up the drive with her leadership and inspiration, and middle blocker KELLY STANTON, a two-year starter, each felt a sense of urgency as they entered their final seasons. The two seniors were joined by returning starters KELSEY BRYANT, a junior right-side hitter, along with SARAH AMMERMAN and MARY BATIS, a pair of sophomore outside hitters who brought promise and power after impressive freshman campaigns. JILLIAN PHILLIPS, a dynamic and explosive middle blocker, was poised to become a starter, filling in for threeyear starter Christi Hahn, who had completed her eligibility in 2006. DARLA DONALDSON, a 6-2 middle, would add depth to the middle after transferring from Cal State Northridge, along with sophomore CARA QUAYLE. Other returners included sophomore JENNIFER BANSE, who excelled in the back row and also would be the No. 1 backup for Ammerman and Batis, and sophomore defensive specialist STEPHANIE CADAVID. The lack of depth at the setter and middle blocker positions was a major concern for Corbelli. Sophomore JOLA KELNER, who had seen limited court time as a freshman, was the only setter on the roster during the spring after two of the Aggies’ other setters were granted medical releases. Only days before the start of preseason drills, however, sophomore KRISTEN SCHEVIKHOVEN, a club teammate of Ammerman’s who had helped Front Range to an AAU national title, completed her transfer to A&M from Northern Colorado. “We had only one setter, and you always should be carrying at least two capable setters,” Corbelli said. “Schevi brought a ton of experience from her club, and

her style of setting matched what we teach in our system. It was a real sigh of relief and an immediate boost to the team’s confidence. She kept getting better and better.”

he Aggies came out with amazing fortitude to start the season, and Schevikhoven proved to be a godsend as A&M collected trophy after trophy by racing through tournament ﬁelds at home, at Montana State and at Texas-San Antonio without dropping a single game. Although the Aggies Senior middle blocker KELLY STANTON led the Aggies with a .354 struggled somewhat at Texas State hitting percentage, ranking sixth in the A&M all-time season records. midway through the pre-conference season, they did what it took to defeat would come back to haunt the Aggies. the Bobcats, 3-1, contributing to a school record-setting “We try to bring in the best teams we can, but many 10-0 start. times teams are shying away from playing Big 12 teams “I knew how young we were going to be again in early in the season knowing the strength of the league,” 2007,” Corbelli said, “so we needed to start out with Corbelli said. “The tournaments didn’t prove to be as opportunities to get the conﬁdence going and get rolling competitive as I thought they would be, but we thought with our team rhythm. The rhythm of winning, that was maybe going into the Montana State tournament with a big goal for the pre-conference schedule.” Washington State of the Pac 10 and Utah State, which Although A&M was 10-0, the non-conference opwas becoming a stronger and stronger program over the ponents were not quite the caliber of team the Aggies last few years particularly, we would get some good, solid would see in the competitive Big 12.

SARAH AMMERMAN (12), JEN MOORE (2), MARY BATIS (25) and the rest of the Aggies "saw horns" after defeating Baylor in the final match of the season. .403 to .195, en route to a three-game sweep. “The previous losses had been to Nebraska, Texas and Kansas State, all highly ranked opponents,” Corbelli said. “We knew we were doing some really good things against them, and we knew where our strengths were. Then when we saw the match-up with Kansas, it boosted our confidence. We saw that what we do well would provide a good match-up where we could maybe capitalize on them against Kansas. Knowing that we had not performed well there in a long time, the words confidence and resilience were really important at that match.” A&M fell to a hot-streaking Missouri team in Columbia in the ensuing match and closed out the first half of Big 12 play with a 4-6 league mark after defeating Colorado, 3-1, in College Station.

fter a non-conference win against Sam Houston State, A&M opened the second half of conference play with sweeps against both Texas Tech and Kansas to extend its winning streak to four. The Aggies then headed to Oklahoma seeking to avenge their conference-opening loss. Ammerman had 25 kills, but it wasn’t enough as No. 21 Oklahoma held oﬀ the Aggies, 28-30, 30-21, 30-28, 30-28, at McCasland Field House. The Aggies were able to even the season series against Iowa State with a 3-1 home victory, but then they faced their most challenging stretch of the season. A&M took on No. 12 Kansas State in Manhattan, where the Aggies had only won one time. In a regionally televised match, A&M made a strong comeback after dropping the ﬁrst two games, but the Aggies’ upset bid fell short in a 30-19, 30-27, 30-32, 28-30, 15-10 decision. “That match was probably another one of those that we didn’t get the win, and it was as devastating as the OU match in the conference opener,”

Corbelli said. “Those both were matches we had in our grasps. There was every opportunity for us to come home with that win. K-State was relieved when that was over. They knew that we were a formidable opponent.” A&M then traveled to Austin for a rematch against No. 3 Texas, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation in hitting percentage and was riding a 15-match winning streak. In addition, the Longhorns had won 30 consecutive games en route to a school-record nine straight three-game sweeps. The Aggies ended Texas’ record-setting streak for consecutive three-game sweeps but fell to the rival Longhorns, 3-1 in front of a sold-out crowd at Gregory Gym. The challenging schedule didn’t let up as that match was followed by a meeting with No. 2 Nebraska. The Aggies lost in three games to the defending national champions and dropped to 18-10 overall and 7-10 in the Big 12. Corbelli was still able to point out the positives despite suﬀering three straight losses. “With the exception of No. 2 Nebraska, we were taking games oﬀ of highly ranked teams in the nation that we had no choice but to play. All signs were pointing to what a strong program we had.”

REVIEW

he undefeated Aggies cracked the Top 25 for the first time in two years just before their recordsetting run came to a heartbreaking end with a disturbing home loss to Oklahoma. The Aggies came from behind to win the first two games against the Sooners but then began to struggle with serving and passing as Oklahoma rallied to win the next three games and the match in both teams’ Big 12 opener. “There was a maturity level that I noticed for the first time, us coming back after the break with four sophomores on the floor, and they come back with five seniors,” Corbelli said. “It was a higher level of confidence and certainty that Oklahoma had. That was a devastating loss. Going 15-13 in the fifth game, it still could have gone either way, and the team knew it, but not being able to finish, it just devastated the team. They couldn’t believe that they could not finish.” The Aggies were swept at Iowa State in the following match, which Corbelli described as a “no show.” A&M then won the first two games against Texas Tech, but then in an eerily too familiar situation, the Aggies dropped the next two games to the Red Raiders, who would tie for last in the Big 12 standings. Unlike the Oklahoma match, A&M won the fifth game, 15-10, to notch its first Big 12 victory. “After never even getting going at Iowa State, I thought it was significant that we were able to pull out the win against Tech, no matter who it was against,” Corbelli said. A&M suffered a 3-0 loss at No. 1 Nebraska but then pulled off an impressive sweep at Baylor. The Aggies then hosted No. 18 Kansas State, but despite a season-high 23 blocks, including a career-high 10 by Phillips which earned her Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors, the Wildcats prevailed, 3-1. Next up was a home-televised match against rival and seventh-ranked Texas. The Aggies put up a fight but fell, 3-0, in front of a home season-high crowd of 3,382. A&M then headed to Kansas, a place they had not won in four years. The Aggies had one of their most dominating conference performances, outhitting the Jayhawks,

ith their backs against the wall, the resilient Aggies rebounded by winning their ﬁnal three matches of the season. The Aggies picked up 3-1 wins against both Missouri and Colorado to reach the 20-win milestone. They celebrated Senior Night and closed out the regular season with a sweep against Baylor to improve to 21-10 overall and 10-10 in the Big 12, tying Missouri for sixth place. “After that last match, I had no doubts that we would have a slot in the 64-team tournament. No doubts,” Corbelli said. “We did everything we possibly could do except maybe get a win at K-State and possibly that Oklahoma match way back in September, but the selection committee supposedly weighs heavier on the more recent matches.”

iding a three-match winning streak, the conﬁdent Aggies gathered to watch the NCAA Selection Show and see where they would be headed for the postseason. The ﬁeld was announced, but Texas A&M never showed up on the screen. (continued on page 81)

AGGIE LETTERWINNERS LOST Three Aggies closed out their Texas A&M volleyball careers following the 2007 season. Seniors Jen Moore, the team’s libero, and Kelly Stanton, a starting middle blocker, completed their eligibility. In addition, junior-

to-be Cara Quayle, who had seen limited action in her two years, was battling painful irreparable degeneration in her knees and was granted a medical release.

REVIEW

JEN MOORE anchored the Aggies’ back row defense and solidified the team’s passing throughout her career, but even more impressive was her relentless determination, unwavering loyalty and leadership, which served as an inspiration to her teammates and coaches. Moore, who graduated with a degree in communications in May 2008, joined the Aggies as a freshman walk-on in 2004, and with her hard work and fortitude, she went on to earn an athletic scholarship. Moore was a starting defensive specialist as a sophomore, and as a junior, she received team honors for both best defensive player and most inspirational player after splitting time as defensive specialist and libero. As a senior, the team captain and libero was the only Aggie to play in all 107 games, all while battling through a back injury. She ranked second on the team with a career-best 3.21 digs per game, posting double figures in digs in 20 matches, including 12 of the final 14 matches of the season. Moore also led the team in digs in nine matches, including a career-high 19-dig performance against No. 18 Kansas State. An all-tournament selection at the 2007 UTSA Classic, Moore was honored for her performance in the classroom as well. As a senior, she was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District second team and also made her third consecutive appearance on the Academic All-Big 12 Volleyball first team. KELLY STANTON was a steady and fearless force for the Aggies throughout her fouryear career. The middle blocker was thrown into the fire as a freshman, getting her first career start against No. 2 Nebraska because of an injury to senior starter and All-American Melissa Munsch. The rookie responded by hitting .455 against the Huskers and went on to earn A&M’s Most Improved Player award following her freshman campaign. As a sophomore, Stanton appeared in 22 matches and led the Aggies in blocks per game. She also tied an A&M record with 11 blocks in a five-game conference match against Colorado. Stanton led the team in blocks for the second consecutive year as a junior and was named to the Texas A&M Invitational all-tournament team. Stanton, who started every match for the Aggies as a senior, was named to the all-tournament team at both the Texas A&M Invitational and the UTSA Classic. She finished the season with a team-leading .354 hitting percentage, ranking eighth in the Big 12 and 44th in the nation. In addition, her hitting percentage rates sixth in the A&M all-time season records.

LESSON LEARNED: '07 REVIEW (CONTINUED) “We kept waiting,” Corbelli said. “Maybe they were expanding the bracket, because we hadn’t been called after 64. I didn’t understand how we could have only a 77 RPI if it includes the strength of schedule, and you compare our schedule to some programs that don’t even come close to the strength of schedule that we play, the quality of volleyball that Big 12 teams play day in and day out.” Iowa State, which finished a win ahead of A&M in the final standings, and Missouri, two teams the Aggies defeated in the second half of conference play, had heard their names called as the Big 12 sent a total of six teams to the Big Dance. The others were Big 12 co-champions Nebraska and Texas, Kansas State and Oklahoma. “I was stunned that 21 wins and being a Big 12 team didn’t get us into the tournament,“ Corbelli said. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as the reality and shock quickly set in. “It was a hard lesson learned, but you have to finish,” Corbelli said. “We had it. We just couldn’t finish. The OU match, boy, if we could have taken that one. Not only

2 0 0 7 Vo l l e y b a l l Ye a r b o o k

would it probably have catapulted us into a better next couple of matches, but looking back, it’s a good possibility it could of put us in the NCAAs.”

&M ended the season ranked No. 12 in the nation with a .272 season hitting percentage, the second highest hitting percentage in school history. Batis and Schevikhoven were named team co-MVPs at the team banquet. Ammerman, who averaged a teamleading 4.43 kills, 0.36 aces and 5.07 points per game, was named Best Oﬀensive Player, while Batis took home Best Defensive honors after leading the team with 3.57 digs per game. Banse received Most Improved Player accolades, and Moore was voted Most Inspirational Player. “I was extremely proud of this team, and I wouldn’t want to coach any other group,” Corbelli said. “I’m also willing to bet my life that they ﬁgure out the biases and the requirements necessary to be able to show your strength when you are in the type of situation we faced several times during the season.” The honors and the praise were appreciated, but the

hurt still lingers deep in the players’ competitive souls. “Life is not always fair, but you have to look for the silver lining,” Corbelli said. “I’m hoping that the silver lining is that there is no way we are going to leave a question mark again by being a bubble team. We are using that evening of watching that horrible, horrible selection show to motivate this team. We are not going to be in that position again. “We don’t want to ever go through that again, and we have to ﬁgure out how to make it work in our favor. We are going to have a little bit more of the drive, the determination in a game that they see is within our reach. Our maturity has really developed, and that is a huge part of college athletics, the understanding of the big picture and what it is going to take.” In 2008, Corbelli will return a veteran team with a point to prove. Based on their unmatched dedication and determination, that silver lining could quickly turn into a pot of gold for the Aggies.

AGGIE TERMINOLOGY Each university has its own set of traditions which help to distinguish it from other institutions. Texas A&M University is no exception. Perhaps nowhere else are traditions as interwoven into the very fabric of the university than they are at Texas A&M. As a result, Aggies have a lingo that is all their own. The following list of terms helps to deﬁne what being an Aggie is all about. A&M Shortened form for Texas A&M University. Originally, the letters stood for Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas; now, the letters are retained merely as part of the University’s tradition and history.

AGGIE A student, former student or supporter of Texas A&M University. Term is derived from A&M’s agricultural heritage. Aggies are sometimes also referred to as farmers.

AGGIE CODE OF HONOR For many years, Aggies have followed a Code of Honor, which is stated in this very simple verse: “Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal, nor do they tolerate those who do.”

AGGIELAND Home of Texas A&M University.

ALL-U NIGHT All-University Night—the first Yell Practice of the semester. Event includes introductions of men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic teams, coaching staﬀ and yell leaders.

A S S O C I AT I O N O F FORMER STUDENTS

M E D I A I N F O R M AT I O N

There is no such thing at A&M as an alumni association or an Ex-Aggie; there are only former students. The Association of Former Students serves the same purpose as an alumni association, but an individual doesn’t have to graduate from A&M to be a member. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie.

CORPS OF CADETS Military-oriented organization, which is the oldest student group on the A&M campus. Texas A&M annually commissions more oﬃcers for the armed forces than any other ROTC source in the nation.

E L E P H A N T WA L K Annual ceremony held the week of the last football game in which seniors gather at Kyle Field, form a single line and wander about the campus like old elephants seeking a secluded spot to end their days.

G. Rollie White Coliseum—the place where the Aggies play volleyball and hold special events.

That “other school” in Austin is not the “University of Texas.” To an Aggie, it’s “t.u.,” without capital letters.

H U L L A B A L O O, C A N E C K ! CANECK! First words to the “Aggie War Hymn,” A&M’s ﬁght song, which was written by J.V. (Pinky) Wilson while standing guard on the Rhine during World War I.

HUMPING IT FISH CAMP

Freshman orientation camp held just before classes begin in the fall. Provides an overall introduction to Texas A&M.

GIG ’EM One of many Aggie yells.

140

H O W DY ! Traditional Aggie greeting; a derivative of “hello.” Sometimes garbled to sound like “hahdy”. Aggies pride themselves on their friendliness and greet each other and visitors with a “Howdy” as they walk across campus.

Position taken by Aggies when giving a yell. Bending forward from the waist with the hands placed just above the knees properly aligns the back, mouth and throat for maximum volume.

MSC Memorial Student Center. No one steps on the grass surrounding the MSC, which was built in honor of Aggies who died in battle.

O L’ A R M Y Like it “used to be” at A&M.

REDPOTS The students responsible for coordinating the building of Bonfire. There are 16 (8 seniors, 8 juniors), and they wear red hardhats or “pots.”

WHOOP! Aggie expression of approval.

YELL PRACTICE Spirit session which builds enthusiasm for an upcoming athletic contest. Under the direction of the Yell Leaders, Aggies show their support for the team by shouting the yells with spirit and singing the Aggie songs with pride. Held at midnight at Kyle Field before home football games.

Roof – An informal term used to describe a successful block attempt in which the ball goes straight down on the attacker’s side of the net.

Tool – A term describing the act of an attacker intentionally hitting the ball so that it deflects off an opposing blocker and falls out of bounds, hence resulting in a point for the offensive team.

Yellow Card – Given by the oﬃcial to a player or coach as a warning of misconduct. Two yellow cards results in an automatic red card.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S A B O U T T H E L I B E R O In 2002, the NCAA Women's Volleyball Rules Committee approved several rules changes, including the use of the libero player. The committee modiﬁed the rule in 2004, allowing the libero to serve during one designated rotation.

4. Can the coach designate a diﬀerent libero for each game?

•

The following is a list of frequently asked questions compiled by the committee regarding the libero player:

M E D I A I N F O R M AT I O N

1. What is the basic deﬁnition of a libero, and how do I pronounce it?

•

The libero is a designated back-row player, intended to be used as a ball-control specialist. The libero is allowed to replace any player in the back row without counting as a substitution. There is no limit to the number of libero replacements a team is allowed. The pronunciation is “LEE-bah-ro.”

2. What uniform restrictions apply to the libero?

•

The color of the libero’s uniform must contrast from the color of her teammates’ uniforms. The libero’s shorts must be the same as her teammates.’ The style and trim of the designated libero’s uniform may diﬀer from her teammates.’ The referees will ultimately decide if the amount of contrast is sufﬁcient.

3. Does the libero’s uniform have to have a number on it?

•

142

Yes, the libero must wear a legal number.

Yes, one libero is designated on the lineup sheet prior to each game. If a libero is not designated on a lineup sheet for a game, the team may not use a libero.

5. Can the libero designated for a game play as a nonlibero in subsequent games?

•

Yes. That player must retain the same number throughout the match. All non-libero players in any game must wear identical uniforms, so if a player ceases to be a libero in a subsequent game, she must wear a uniform identical to her teammates.

6. What playing restrictions apply to the libero?

•

The libero plays only in the back row.

•

The libero may not block or attempt to block.

•

The libero may not attack the ball if contact is made while the ball is completely above the height of the net.

•

A teammate may not attack a ball that is completely above the height of the net IF the libero set that ball to her from the attack zone using an overhand finger pass.

7. When can a teammate attack a ball coming from the libero?

•

When the libero contacts the ball without overhand finger action (e.g., beach dig or forearm pass), OR When the libero contacts the ball using ANY technique from behind the attack line.

8. How does the libero replace a back-row player?

•

The libero and the player on the court exchange places between the attack line and the end line. No referee action is required. This replacement can only take place at the end of a rally before the whistle for the next service.

come back in for the libero. If the coach does not want #6 to remain in the game, she must request a substitution.

10. Does the libero ever have to leave the game?

•

11. Can the libero be the ﬂoor captain?

•

The libero is never substituted (except in cases of exceptional substitutions), they are replaced. The libero MUST be replaced by the same player that replaced her. That replacement can take place at any time while the libero is on the back row, and must take place when the libero rotates to the front row. For example, if the libero (player #7) replaced #6 on the back row, then #6 is the only player that may

Yes. Before the match begins, the referees will ask the coach to indicate which player will become the captain when the libero is not on the ﬂoor.

13. Can the libero be a starting player?

•

9. When and how does the player who was replaced get back in the game?

•

Yes. When the libero is replaced, she must remain on the bench for one rally before re-entering for a back-row player.

No, the libero cannot be designated as one of the six starting players on the lineup. Immediately after the second referee checks the lineups, the libero may replace any back-row player.

14. If the teams line up for introductions on the end line, may the libero join them?

•

Yes, and the libero may be introduced as the seventh starter.

aggie traditions

radition and history are important parts of life on any college campus but especially at

Texas A&M University. The “Spirit of Aggieland” is unmatched by any other college or university in the United States. Most traditions at Texas A&M are filled with the rich background of its Corps of Cadets, which for many years made up the entire student body at the College Station campus. Texas A&M opened in 1876 as a land grant college. At that point, the student body adopted a military structure, and the traditions of Aggieland took their roots. The school remained essentially the same until 1963 when the first women were admitted. But the school still has the Corps of Cadets — only one of a few universities in the country to maintain a strong commitment to military training. Today participation in the Corps is strictly voluntary, but about 2,000 young men and women choose to be part of the proud organization that helps personify the “Spirit of Aggieland.”

the story of the 12th man one of the most well-known traditions at Texas A&M is that of the Twelfth Man... The story of this colorful tradition has been told andretoldto generations of Aggie students and is part of the cohesive substance that binds A&M students together forever. The Twelfth Man is the reason A&M students stand for each entire football game. When Aggie students stand during games, it is this spirit and loyalty they are remembering. They stand in readiness in case they are needed to go into the game like the original Twelfth Man, E. King Gill. The late Dr. Gill of Corpus Christi related this story some years ago:

silver taps one of the most emotional of all Aggie traditions… The solemn ceremony is the final tribute and honor to an Aggie who has died. The ceremony is held in front of the Academic Building on the first Tuesday of every month at 10:30 p.m., if a student died during the preceding month. Students gather around the area, the campus lights are dimmed (cars included), chimes play from Albritton Tower, a detachment from the Ross Volunteers fires three volleys and buglers from the Aggie Band play Silver Taps three times. The ceremony is quite moving because the only sense one witnesses it with is

TEXAS A&M

“It was in January, 1922, following the 1921 football season. The Aggies were SWC champions and had been invited to play Centre College in what was then called the Dixie Classic in Dallas. I had played on the football team, but was on the basketball team at that time and those in charge felt I was more valuable to the basketball team (Gill was an All-SWC basketball player in 1923). I was in Dallas, however, and even rode to the stadium in the same taxi with Coach Dana X. Bible. I was in civilian clothes and was not to be in uniform. Coach Bible asked me to assist in spotting players for the late Jinx Tucker

(sports editor of the Waco News-Tribune) in the press box. So, I was up in the press box, helping Jinx Tucker when, near the end of the ﬁrst half, I was called down to the Texas A&M bench. There had been a number of injuries but it was not until I arrived on the ﬁeld that I learned that Coach Bible wanted me to put on a football uniform and be ready to play if he needed me. There were no dressing rooms at the stadium in those days. The team had dressed downtown at the hotel and traveled to the stadium in taxi cabs. Anyway, I put on the uniform of one of the injured players. We got under the stands, and he put on my clothes and I put on his uniform. I was ready to play but never was sent into the game.”

reveille the first lady of Aggieland… Is the official mascot of Texas A&M University. She is the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets, and is a Five-Star General. A full-bred American Collie, Reveille’s history dates back to 1931. At that time, some cadets accidentally ran over a black and white dog in their Model T on the way back to campus, so they gathered up the injured dog and took it back to the dormitory. In the morning, when the bugler sounded reveille, the dog started barking and promptly received her nickname. Reveille was soon adopted by the Corps and especially the band. She followed them to all formations and led them when they marched. At the first football game, she took the field with the band and made her first appearance as the official mascot of Texas A&M. Reveille died in 1944 and was buried at the north entrance of Kyle Field facing the scoreboard so that she can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponent. Reveille II, Reveille III, Reveille IV, Reveille V and Reveille VI are now buried alongside Reveille I. Reveille VII was introduced on Feb. 17, 2001 during an Aggie men’s basketball game at Reed Arena.

the upcoming football game. The seniors said they could not authorize a Yell Practice, but could manage to “be” at the YMCA Building at midnight. Flares were planted, the Corps woke up, even the band showed up, and the ﬁrst Midnight Yell Practice was held. Today, Midnight Yell Practice is held at Kyle Field on Friday night before a home football game. The Aggie Band starts the parade at the Quadrangle near the Corps dorms and marches to Kyle Field led by the Yell Leaders carrying torches. Then, as many as 20,000 students line the route and fall in behind the band. Yells are then practiced, the Aggie War Hymn and the Spirit of Aggieland are sung, and at “lights out” the after-touchdown kiss is practiced. After an Aggie victory, the Yell Leaders are carried across campus and tossed into the Fish Pond, then a Yell Practice is held. After being “outscored,” students remain in the stands, and Yell Practice is held in preparation for the next game.

Started in 1982, the Big Event promotes campus unity as students come together each spring to express their gratitude for the support from the surrounding communities of Bryan/ College Station. More than 8,000 Aggies participate in more than 800 jobs such as painting houses, mowing lawns, and raking leaves. Dorms, Greek organizations, Corps outfits and individuals work together to help serve the community.

TEXAS A&M

The early meetings were parties and banquets held during the commencement exercises. Soon, a permanent date was set — April 21 — and it became a time to pay homage to students and former students who died during the past year. At today’s Muster, living comrades answer “here” to the roll call at the largest ceremony in the 12,500-seat Reed Arena, for their friends who have passed on. During World War I, groups of Aggies held Muster in trenches in Europe. In 1923, former students began holding Muster throughout Texas, the nation and numerous other parts of the world — to let Aggies remember old days and meet old friends.

and two juniors) who are donned in white. These ﬁve motivated Aggies use hand signals to indicate what yell will occur next. They tell the “Twelfth Man” what yell is coming, and the students on the bottom row pick up the signal and repeat it, passing it upward until the entire student body knows what is coming. Once the “Twelfth Man” assumes the “humping it” position (bending over with the hands placed just above the knees, properly aligning the back, mouth and throat for maximum volume) the yell begins.

a favorite of Aggies is Yell Practice… In 1932, two freshmen asked the senior yell leaders to hold a Midnight Yell Practice to motivate students for

academic services

The Center for Student-Athlete Services’ mission is to help each student-athlete achieve his or her maximum potential through academic, personal, and career enhancement while upholding the standards of honor, integrity, and professionalism at Texas A&M University. Through the combination of one of the nation’s premier facilities and a highly qualified staff, Texas A&M has strengthened its commitment to “Building Champions” off the field, as well as on.

The Center for Student-Athlete Services is located on the second ﬂoor of the Bright Football Complex. The Center is a 24,550-square foot state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest teaching technology and capable of accommodating over 600 students at any given time. The academic staﬀ was highly involved in the design of the Center to ensure a convenient and user-friendly layout to meet the student-athletes’ needs. Designed with the student-athlete in mind, the academic center is one of the most comprehensive academic support facilities in collegiate athletics.

CHAMPS 101: winning at life CHAMPS 101 is a comprehensive course created to assist our student-athletes in coping with the many transitions and challenges of college, athletic life, and beyond. The course creates opportunities for student-athletes to explore and be involved in campus life, services, and programs while encouraging personal growth and responsible decision-making. All new freshmen student-athletes are required to complete the course for academic credit within their ﬁrst year. In addition, experienced student-athletes may participate as Teaching Assistants, providing guidance for new students while gaining valuable experience as a mentor and teacher. The CHAMPS 101 course serves to enhance Texas A&M’s commitment to the total development of our student-athletes by addressing the issues and topics to better prepare them athletically, academically, and personally.

the annual CHAMPS banquet Each year a CHAMPS banquet is hosted in the Spring to honor the student-athletes, trainers and managers who have excelled in academics, athletics, leadership and community service. Over 320 students are recognized for these achievements. One of the primary goals is to have the student-athlete graduation rate equal or exceed the all university graduation rate at Texas A&M. This is a signiﬁcant challenge because the university graduation rate is consistently very high. The staﬀ, coaches and student-athletes are up to the challenge.

The Center for Student-Athlete Services employs seven full-time Academic Supervisors and a Learning Specialist. They are assisted by graduate assistants and a front office staff. Together, the staff monitors the student-athletes’ academic performance to ensure the continuedfulfillment of progress toward degree requirements. This process includes academic progress reports during the semester and individualized academic planning for each student. All student-athletes are also required to submit pre-registration

forms prior to registering for classes to ensure a class schedule that meets degree requirements and meshes with practice times. Additionally, all student-athletes must meet with his/her academic adviser in the college in which they are enrolled. Each student-athlete meets regularly with the academic supervisor. The meetings help solve problems concerning classwork and overall academic performance. The emphasis of the program centers on the idea of a “proactive” approach rather than a “reactive” approach. Coaches and academic supervisors try to set the academic tone early and to be as thorough as possible in planning for each student-athlete’s academic success.

the Texas A&M athletic department, and with the overwhelming support from the administration, Aggie women’s sports are carrying out the game plan. Under the leadership of highly regarded coaches who continue to recruit superior student-athletes, all 11 A&M women’s programs have proven to be perennial predominant forces on the conference, regional and national scales, and they continue to add to the school’s ever-expanding trophy display.

ggie women’s teams captured a school-record and league-leading six Big 12 Conference regular season and tournament championships in six different sports in 2006-07. In 2006-07, they went one step further by capturing seven Big 12 crowns. A&M was so dominant in league play on the women’s side that they captured exactly half the Big 12 titles available in the sports that the Aggies sponsor. Baylor, which swept the women’s tennis regular season and tournament crowns, and Texas, which split the volleyball title with Nebraska and won the conference soccer tournament, were the only schools in the Big 12 to win more than a single title with A&M grabbing the lion’s share of the hardware. For the second straight year, nine of A&M’s 11 women’s sports advanced to postseason competition. Eight teams ranked in the final Top 15 national rankings in 2007-08, with seven in the top 10 and four

amongst the top five. The practically across-theboard success experienced by the Aggie women’s teams helped catapult Texas A&M to a school-record 1,031 points in the prestigious 2007 United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), up from the previous record of 881 set the year before. In addition, A&M finished in 12th place in the Cup standings, the best finish in school history and the second-most points tallied by a school in the Big 12.

teams date their beginnings to 1973 or if they became a scholarship sport as recently as 1999, Texas A&M women's athletics has surpassed countless milestones and continues to foster its commendable national reputation both in the competition arena and in the classroom. Most of A&M's women's athletic teams date their beginnings as far back as 1973, with the Athletic Department's Lettermen's Association formally awarding the first female letterwinners their A&M monograms at the conclusion of the 1975-76 academic year. From those origins, women's athletics at the once all-male institution has grown significantly. With 13 team national championship titles and numerous conference titles over the last 33 years, A&M women's sports have been or are becoming consistent national contenders in all 11 sponsored sports -- basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball.

Te x a s A & M U n i v e r s i t y

In 1993 the university expanded to 10 women's sponsored sports with the addition of soccer as a scholarship sport, and as a unit the Aggie athletic program ranked among the best in the nation. In 1997 A&M was ranked first in the Big 12 and fifth in the nation in the Gender Equity Report Card, published by the Women's Sports Foundation. And in 1999, Texas A&M bolstered its commitment to women's athletics with the addition of NCAA emerging sports archery and equestrian. Although the A&M archery team won six national team titles in six years, the sport did not grow as rapidly as expected at the collegiate level and was downgraded back to a club sport at A&M following the 2004-05 academic year.

EQUESTRIAN

he list of accomplishments compiled by A&M teams and athletes is impressive. After establishing a solid foundation as a nationally elite club team, the equestrian team has spent the last nine years riding high as a varsity athletic sport. The Aggie riders have won six national team titles with the most recent coming in western riding in 2007. This past season, the hunter seat, or English, half of the team stepped to the fore making it to the national championship match while the western team finished fifth, allowing A&M to earn a second straight runner-up overall finish at the national championships.

TRACK

FIELD

nother superlative season in Aggie track and field resulted in a program best finish on the NCAA level while Texas A&M successfully defended Big 12 titles during the indoor and outdoor seasons. In placing third outdoors at the NCAA Championships, the Aggies defended their 4 x 100 national title by running a school-record and collegiate-leading time of 42.59 seconds while senior Simone Facey and sophomore Porscha Lucas achieved a rare 1-2 finish in the 200. A silver-medal effort in the 4 x 400, along with a bronzemedal finish from freshman Jessica Beard in the 400 led to a program best seventh-place team finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

The Texas A&M softball team captured both the 2008 Big 12 regular season and tournament titles while earning its second consecutive berth into the Women's College World Series and reaching the championship series for the first time since 1987.

SOCCER

he women's soccer team quickly developed into a perennial powerhouse once soccer became an intercollegiate scholarship sport at A&M 15 years ago. It only took two seasons before the surging Aggies burst into the national limelight. The A&M soccer team finished ranked No. 13 in the nation in 2007. The Aggies won the Big 12 regular season title and made their 13th consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. A&M, which has captured a total of 10 Big 12 regular season and tournament championships since the league formed in 1996, has hosted NCAA first-and secondround matches each of the past 13 years, and in 2005 and 2007 A&M had the prestigious privilege of hosting the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Cup. The Aggies will also serve as hosts of the national championship in 2009.

SOFTBALL

he Aggie softball team has won three national titles - an AIAW crown in 1982 and NCAA championships in 1983 and 1987. The team has played in seven NCAA Women's College World Series (WCWS), including back-to-back trips in 2007 and 2008, and has earned a berth in the NCAA playoffs 19 of the last 26 years. Under the direction of All-American pitcher Megan Gibson and fellow seniors Jamie Hinshaw and Jami Lobpries, A&M finished the 2008 season ranked No. 2 in the nation after reaching the WCWS championship series. The Aggies set a record for wins in a season after finishing the year at 57-10, while capturing their second Big 12 regular season title and first ever Big 12 Tournament title. Porscha Lucas and Simone Facey team up to lead A&M to its second consecutive NCAA Championship in the 4 x 100 meter relay.

Seniors Morenike Atunrase and A’Quonesia Franklin closed out their storied four-year A&M careers by being selected in the 2008 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Silver Stars and Sacramento Monarchs respectively.

WORLD-WIDE RECOGNITION

ndividually, Aggie athletes have been recognized not only at the conference, regional and national levels, but at the international level as well. In 2008, former Aggie volleyball standout Stacy Sykora became the first A&M athlete to be named to three straight United States Olympic Teams. Jennifer McFalls represented A&M at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, as a member of the USA Softball team. An alternate on the 1996 Olympic team, McFalls scored the winning run in extra innings of the championship game in Sydney to secure the gold medal for the USA. Aggie trackster Anjanette Kirkland was the 2001 world champion in both the indoor 60-meter hurdles and the outdoor 100-meter hurdles. The Aggie women’s basketball team has had four players picked in the WNBA Draft in the past eight years, including two in 2008. Aggie Jaynetta

Saunders was the first A&M woman drafted, in 2001 by the Cleveland Rockers. In 2004, Toccara Williams, one of three players in NCAA history to record more than 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 700 assists and 450 steals, was a third round pick by the San Antonio Silver Stars. This past season, Morenike Atunrase was drafted by the Atlanta Dream in the second round of the 2008 WNBA Draft (and traded to San Antonio shortly thereafter) while point guard A’Quonesia Franklin was selected in the third round by the Sacramento Monarchs. The A&M women’s swimming team placed four athletes into the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Christine Marshall became A&M’s first U.S. Olympian in swimming while Canadian Julia Wilkinson swam in more Olympic races than any athlete in Canadian history. Triin Aljand and Alia Atkinson both competed in their second straight Olympic Games as well.

hile Aggie athletes have distinguished themselves as athletic and academic AllAmericans and all-conference performers and have gone on to compete at the international level as well as the professional level, the Aggie coaching staff also has brought notoriety to the women's athletic program at Texas A&M. Women’s swimming coach Steve Bultman and women’s track & field coach Pat Henry each won their second consecutive Big 12 Coach of the Year awards in their respective sports after leading their teams to back-to-back Big 12 Championships. Women’s basketball coach Gary Blair was tabbed as the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2007 after leading the Aggies to their first-ever conference championship in the sport. Softball coach Jo Evans earned Big 12 Coach of the year accolades three times, including this past year after sweeping both the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles. Evans and her staff were also honored as National Fastpitch Coaches Association Midwest Region Coaching Staff of the Year. Soccer coach G. Guerrieri was voted the 1997 and 2002 Big 12 Co-Coach of the Year and in 2005, diving coach Kevin Wright was named the Women's Big 12 Diving Coach of the Year for the fifth time in six years. Women’s tennis coach Bobby Kleinecke, who garnered Intercollegiate Tennis Association Region Coach of the Year honors in 2002, was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year in 2004.

TENNIS

upported by a loyal and enthusiastic home crowd that bolstered Texas A&M to a No. 1 national ranking in the ITA Attendance Race, the Aggie women’s tennis team made its ninth consecutive appearance in the NCAA team championship and advanced to the second round for the sixth straight year. In addition, the Aggies, who play host to the 2009 NCAA Tennis Championships, earned three Big 12 individual titles en route to a thirdplace finish in the league.

Sarah Ammerman, who ranked in the top five in the Big 12 in kills, aces and points per game as a sophomore in 2007, was named to USA Volleyball’s A2 Team and captured a bronze medal at the 2008 U.S. Open Championships.

accumulating 27 NCAA team championships in his 17 seasons as head coach of the LSU men’s and women’s teams, and in 2005 he was named the Outstanding Women’s Track and Field Coach on the Silver Anniversary Team by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). On the international level, Henry was the head coach for Team USA at the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan. In 2006, Henry coached the United States team during the World Cup in Athens, Greece. In 2007, Henry was chosen as the Midwest Region Women’s Coach of the Year by the USTFCCCA after leading A&M to a pair of Big 12 Championships along with the Midwest Region title. He also was selected as the South Central Region Women’s Coach of the Year during the indoor season. In addition, A&M’s Vince Anderson earned the Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year honor for the Midwest Region in the sprints/hurdles category. For the 2006 season, Anderson claimed the same coaching honor and was chosen as the national winner in the women’s sprints/hurdles category. Most recently, A&M athletics director Bill Byrne hired accomplished player and coach Trelle McCombs to take over the women's head golf coaching duties after long-time coach Jeanne Sutherland announced her retirement following consecutive Big 12 championships in 2007. McCombs led the Aggies to a Big 12 runner-up finish and an eight-place finish at the NCAA Championships in her first season at the helm of the program.

VOLLEYBALL

he A&M volleyball team has appeared in the NCAA tournament 13 of the last 15 years, advancing to at least the second round 12 times during that stretch including two Elite Eight appearances. The Aggies, who have never lost a home NCAA postseason match, have garnered eight AllAmerican citations in the last 11 years.

Anna Blagodarova defeated Stanford’s Celia Durkin in the 2008 NCAA Second Round to become the third player in A&M history to reach 100 career wins in singles matches.

CROSS COUNTRY

hile the Texas A&M cross country team placed fourth in the NCAA South Central Region meet, Christina Munoz became the third consecutive Aggie female to qualify for the NCAA Championship field when she finished fifth at the regional to earn her place in the national race. An eighth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships by A&M earned a key point in the State Farm Lone Star Showdown as Munoz and Sarah Balfour earned All-Big 12 honors.

TEXAS A&M

&M women's athletics competed under the umbrella of the former Southwest Conference for 14 seasons (1982-96) and then became a charter member of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. The newly formed league immediately forged into the national limelight and continues to be one of the most highly competitive and prestigious leagues in the nation. The women's athletics program has made dramatic strides at Texas A&M during the last 33 years. And with A&M student-athletes continuing to compile team and individual awards at the international, national, regional and conference levels, Aggie teams are proudly carrying on the A&M winning tradition and the "Spirit of Aggieland" while steadfastly following the mission of building champions.

Two-time SWC Volleyball Coach of the Year Laurie Corbelli, a member of the 1984 USA silver medal Olympic team, was named the District VI Coach of the Year in 1995, and in 2002 she received USA Volleyball's George L. Fisher "Leader in Volleyball" award. In addition to his collegiate coaching duties, Bultman has international coaching experience as well, having served as an assistant coach for the United States at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea and for Estonia in 2008. Gary Blair, a two-time national finalist for the prestigious Naismith Coach of the Year Award, brought instant respect to the Texas A&M women’s basketball program when he was first hired in 2003. One of the winningest active Division I coaches in the women’s game today, Blair previously led Arkansas to the 1998 NCAA Final Four and Stephen F. Austin to four NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. He followed that path of success by elevating A&M into one of the nation’s elite programs after just five seasons in Aggieland. The 2007 Big 12 Coach of the Year went on to lead the Aggies to a school-record 29-8 record and also claimed his 500th career victory against Iowa State on Feb. 20, 2008, to become the 36th all-time D-I coach to reach the milestone in NCAA history. Blair also holds the distinction of being one of only five coaches in NCAA history to take three schools to the NCAA Tournament and is the winningest women’s basketball coach in school history by percentage (.623). The 2004 hiring of track and field coach Pat Henry, one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, continued to confirm A&M’s commitment to building champions. Henry came to Aggieland after

g. rollie white coliseum... O

ften referred to as “Jollie Rollie” or

the “Holler House on the Brazos,” G. Rollie White Coliseum has been home to Aggie volleyball since the 1975 season. And at match time, G. Rollie transforms into one of the nation’s most formidable and daunting settings for visiting teams.

the “holler house”

“

Rollie offers an electrifying atmosphere for our players and fans, and our home crowds have played a huge role in so many of our victories,” A&M volleyball coach Laurie Corbelli said. “Opponents dread playing here because of the tremendous spirit and noise created by the 12th Man and the Hullabaloo Band. And with the continued support of our donors and the administration, we continue to add to the exciting atmosphere at one of the most intimidating and impressive volleyball facilities in the country.” The energetic and boisterous Aggie fans, traditionally known as the 12 th Man, have sparked A&M to a 308-110 (.737) record for all matches played in the friendly confines since 1978, including 179-46 (.796) since Corbelli took over the program in 1993. The Bryan/College Station community and the A&M student body’s enthusiasm for Aggie volleyball also has catapulted A&M into the national rankings for average home attendance. In 2003, A&M ranked

166

an all-time high eighth in the nation for attendance after its home attendance increased 39 percent to an average of 1,801. A&M continues to be among the national leaders in attendance, having been ranked No 18 or higher every year since ’03. The coliseum atmosphere became even more rowdy beginning in 2004 with the creation of Hullabaloo, a volleyball and basketball-only pep band. The lively 30-member band plays at every home match and is under the direction of Chris Hollar. No other team has been as successful at G. Rollie as the 1999 volleyball squad. The team became the first to sport a perfect record at the Holler House — not including the 1976 team, which went 4-0 at home — as home fans propelled the Aggies to a 16-0 mark at G. Rollie en route to A&M’s first NCAA Elite Eight appearance and a school-record 28-match home winning streak. The home court has been especially favorable to the Aggies come playoff time. A&M is 14-0 all-time in NCAA matches played at G. Rollie, which has served as a host site for the NCAA tournament nine times during Corbelli’s 15-year tenure and 11 times overall.

The NCAA Volleyball Committee recognized A&M’s outstanding reputation of hosting postseason events, and in its third year of selecting predetermined sites for the NCAA regionals, the committee chose G. Rollie as one of four sites to host the 2005 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Regional.

the history of the coliseum

Rollie, which opened in 1954, formerly served as home to A&M men’s and women’s basketball but became a volleyball-only facility when the basketball teams moved to the newly constructed Reed Arena prior to the 1998 season. Upon their departure, the floor at G. Rollie was repainted and transformed into a volleyball-only court.

“T

he only lines on the floor are for volleyball, including a nice wide maroon border around the court,” Corbelli said. “In addition, we have use

of the floor at our discretion. We have much more flexibility with our scheduling of practices and individual sessions, and class times are not a problem.”

The 7,800-seat coliseum underwent a $600,000 renovation prior to the 1992 season. The playing surface was replaced with a new wooden floor, and the lower level bleachers were replaced with arena-style seating that encircles the court, giving G. Rollie an even larger and more intimidating student section. Other improvements included enhanced lighting and a facelift to the building’s exterior. A large and extensive volleyball scoreboard, which displays scores by game and statistics of active players in addition to other enhancements, replaced the outdated basketball scoreboard prior to the 2001 season. In addition, the locker rooms formerly used by the men’s and women’s basketball teams were renovated and converted into a spacious volleyball locker room with an adjoining film room, computer and study area, and relaxing lounge. Furthermore, the volleyball athletic training room adjacent to the locker room was expanded

and is now equipped with a whirlpool among other amenities. “Not many programs have their own facility that includes everything we have,” Corbelli said. “Our own floor at our disposal along with the other improvements to the facility is a huge advantage and shows A&M’s continued commitment to the program.”

GEORGE BUSH

he story of George Bush is a fascinating one of adventure, courage, dedication and service. Our museum exhibits reveal the unique influences and challenges which shaped George Bush’s life and presidency. On a larger scale, this museum encompasses much of U.S. history since 1941. Through original artifacts, film, photographs, documents, music, sound effects and interactive video and computerization, this special museum experience is both educational and entertaining. Some of the larger museum features include a World War II Avenger Torpedo Bomber, a 1947 Studebaker, a slab of the Berlin Wall, and precise replicas of the President’s Oval Office and the White House Situation Room. The presidential exhibits document George Bush’s exceptional leadership during times of crisis — the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Gulf War. The importance of family, friends and politics also are part of the museum’s colorful story. Yet, the overall theme of the museum is the nobility of public service as exemplified by the lives of George and Barbara Bush.

The Texas A&M Sports Museum has the distinction of being the nation’s only all-sports museum funded primarily by former athletes. “This is a wonderful opportunity for all Lettermen to honor their teammates who deserve special recognition in a space such as the Sports Museum of Texas A&M University,” said Jim Singleton, Museum Committee Chairman.

he Sports Museum project was several years in the planning stages and is now a reality. The museum opened in August of 2001, in time for the first home football game in early September. The museum was built without the benefit of state or university money. The Lettermen’s Association in cooperation with the 12th Man Foundation raised those funds.
