THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic

and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level.

WEST POINT The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF ’56

The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promoted to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914.

JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.

GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.

ALEXANDER M. HAIG JR. ’47 Haig served as Chief of Staff to President Richard Nixon from 1973 to 1974; Supreme Allied Commander in Europe 1974 to 1979; President of United Technologies Corporation 1980 to 1981 and Secretary of State during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982.

FRANK BORMAN ’50 An astronaut from 1962 to 1970, Borman commanded the first circumlunar flight of the earth. He later served as President of Eastern Airlines.

FIDEL V. RAMOS ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army officer after graduation. He eventually became the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Republic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998.

EDWIN E. ALDRIN ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the first manned lunar landing with Michael Collins (USMA ’52) and was the second man to walk on the moon.

EDWARD WHITE ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the first man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.

PETER M. DAWKINS ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chairman and CEO of Primerica.

JAMES V. KIMSEY ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.

MICHAEL W. KRZYZEWSKI ’69 Krzyzewski served as head basketball coach at West Point from 1974 to 1979 before assuming similar duties at Duke University. Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to three national championships and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2001. He coached the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

RAYMOND T. ODIERNO ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coordinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator.

ROBERT S. KIMBROUGH ’89 Kimbrough was named one of 11 new astronaut candidates by NASA in May 2004. Kimbrough ranks among Army Baseball’s career leaders in saves. A veteran of Desert Storm, he currently works for NASA in Houston as a flight simulation engineer and participated in a space shuttle mission last fall.

DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES

WHY WEST POINT? “Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the flame of that furnace, came away altered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS PETE DAWKINS

“As I look back over my career in government, in business, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very influential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.” - FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE ALEXANDER HAIG “For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fight and win.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

“WEST POINT IS THE RING. IT’S THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE.” - MIKE KRZYZEWSKI ‘69

BILL CLINTON

“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... Duty -- Honor -- Country. Today marks my final roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...” - GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the opportunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life. The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.” - ASTRONAUT EDWIN “BUZZ” ALDRIN

DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“You have ahead of you the best of all professions. Being a leader is the best thing you can possibly be and you’re at a school that will make you the best possible leader. West Point is the ring. It’s the foundation of everything I have done.” - HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI “From the birth of our existence, America has had a faith in the future -- a belief that where we’re going is better than where we’ve been, even when the path ahead is uncertain. To fulfill that promise, generations of Americans have built upon the foundation of our forefathers -- finding opportunity, fighting injustice, forging a more perfect union. Our achievement would not be possible without the Long Gray Line that has sacrificed for duty, for honor, for country.” - PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA “West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways. Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

WHY WEST POINT?

PLAYERS’ PERSPECTIVES ... “My strongest memory of Army volleyball is beating Navy, a 3-2 hard-fought slugfest, during this first scheduled Army-Navy women’s competition. It reflected everyone’s fighting spirit, hard work, and resolve, while establishing a winning tradition that has seen the program advance on so many fronts. In some ways, it was a statement that we are here to stay! What endures are teamwork, pure passion, and the treasured bonds formed among teammates and coaches. Army volleyball does not stop after West Point - it is the touchstone for all else.” -COL. CINDY JEBB ’82

“Arm “Army my Voll Volleyball is more than a team. It’s a sisterhood.

Culture Human Behavior

Long recognized as one of the premier academic institutions in the United States, the U.S. Military Academy provides a challenging curriculum that culminates in a bachelor of science degree upon graduation. More than 25 fields of study and 19 optional academic majors are available to cadets as West Point strives to educate and train the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate shall have the attributes essential to professional growth as an officer in the regular Army. The USMA curriculum is also geared toward providing West Point graduates with an intellectual foundation for increasing responsibility (as they ascend the ranks) through a balanced undergraduate education. The Academy’s highly competitive academic environment, coupled with its broad-based academic curriculum, has helped West Point rank fourth nationally in the number of both Rhodes Scholars and Hertz Scholars that it has produced. The West Point curriculum is divided into three portions - core courses, an engineering sequence and a field of study. Cadets are required to take 26 core courses plus five additional classes in one of seven engineering sequences (mechanical, electrical, civil, nuclear, systems, computer or environmental). Beginning with the first semester of the junior year, cadets begin to take electives for their chosen field of study. Fields of study require completion of nine additional courses, bringing to 40 the number of classes a cadet must pass in order to receive a degree. The selection of an optional major involves anywhere from one to four - usually three additional courses above and beyond the nine field of study electives. This will allow the Cadet to expand his or her realm of study within a chosen discipline. Physical education and military science courses round out the challenging curriculum. Cadets are required to incorporate classes from both disciplines into each semester’s class schedule, creating a standard six-course load for each academic term.

2011 ARMY VOLLEYBALL

United States Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., named the person selected to lead West Point’s intercollegiate athletic department when he announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his new post. He is a proven administrator with 18 years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP, which increased annual rights more than 40 percent. “First and foremost, I am honored to have the opportunity to work at the United States Military Academy, the West Point leadership and the U.S. Army,” Corrigan said upon his hiring. “It is my privilege to serve those proud Americans that serve our country and to be at the greatest leadership institution in the world. “I want to say specifically to our cadet-athletes that we will provide them the opportunity and the wherewithal to achieve to their highest ability and to provide our coaches with the opportunity to win championships, and build leaders of character. We will strive for our cadets to achieve great success in their academics, military training and athletic endeavors.” Army operates a 25-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Rich Ellerson the Black Knights finished 7-6 this season and closed the season with a win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke. Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. “We are excited about the selection of Boo Corrigan to be Army’s athletic director,” Huntoon said upon Corrigan’s hiring. “He has wide

experience in helping to lead a Division I athletic department and has excelled at the highest levels. He brings to the Military Academy a wealth of experience at some of the nation’s elite athletic programs.” Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations. He previously spent a year as a partner in Corrigan Sports Enterprises, an entrepreneurial sports marketing company, in the Baltimore area -- and also worked two years as an equity partner in mrgoodbucks.com, an e-commerce program that involved creation of affinity business relationships. Corrigan also served two years as vice president of EMCEE Sports, a Baltimore-based sports marketing company with a focus on professional golf from 1997 through ‘99. In that role, he was responsible for a $2.5 million operating budget for the State Farm Senior Classic. He worked for Host Communications for two years, helping create relationships with various college and university athletic departments, and served as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. “I want to thank my family and Duke University for the support and encouragement to make this possible, and look forward to serving as part of the Army team at West Point,” Corrigan added.

MEET THE BLACK KNIGHTS

HEAD COACH ALMA KOVACI

2011 ARMY VOLLEYBALL

head coach ALMA KOVACI Temple ’02 Fifth Season Record at Army: 94-28

In just four short years as the head coach of Army’s up-and-coming volleyball program, Alma Kovaci has proven to be one of the best young coaching minds in the business. In her three seasons at West Point, Kovaci has authored a sizzling 94-28 (.770) record and led Army to the 2009 Patriot League title. The program’s first championship since 1994 and fourth overall, the Black Knights punched their ticket to the NCAA Division I Tournament for the first time in the program’s 31-year history. Kovaci reached the 75-win plateau faster than any other coach in Army volleyball history this season, while the Black Knights have averaged 25 wins a season during her impressive tenure. A native of Tirana, Albania, Kovaci became the seventh Army head coach in 2007 in what was her first head coaching appointment. Since ascending into a head coaching role, she garnered back-to-back Patriot League Coach of the Year honors in 2008 and 2009, while also developing 11 All-Patriot League players. That elite group included three-time Setter of the Year Maureen Bannon, 2009 Patriot League Player and Rookie of the Year Ariana Mankus and reigning Patriot League Rookie of the Year Megan Wilton. Kovaci faced a tough test heading into the 2009 campaign after losing four all-league players and five starters at the end of 2008. A testament to her recruiting efforts and motivational tactics, she turned a 2009 team that featured five new starters into an NCAA Tournament team. Army heads into the postseason with a 26-5 mark after going 12-2 to capture the Patriot League regular-season title for the second year in a row. She went on to lead Army to an 18-14 mark in 2010. The Black Knights collected three of the four conference’s major awards in the process. No stranger to Army’s volleyball program when she assumed the reins in 2007, Kovaci had served as the Black Knights’ assistant coach from 20032006. Army has made the four-team Patriot League Tournament field in all six seasons since her arrival at West Point. Kovaci replaced Glen Conley, who spent eight years directing Army’s program before moving on to a head coaching position at Kent State. Since arriving at West Point in 2003, Kovaci has groomed five players that have been named all-league at least twice under her watch. Included in that group is two-time Patriot League Setter of the Year Maureen Bannon and three-time first team honoree Jamie Clark, who became the first Army volleyball in history to garner AVCA All-Region honorable mention status in 2008. In her first year in the head coaching role, Kovaci produced a 24-5 record,

including a second-place conference finish at 12-2 and a ninth-straight trip to the Patriot League Tournament. Kovaci’s club went 14-1 at home and appeared on national television twice that fall. Kovaci cultivated her skills as Conley’s top aide for four years, making West Point’s decision to hire her as head coach a rather easy one. In her assistant role, Kovaci helped produce the 2004 Patriot League Player of the Year, Caitlin Machon, and the conference’s top player in 2005, Abby Casciato. While serving as an assistant coach at Army, Kovaci remained active on the court. In January 2005, she was called back from the states to play as a member of the Albanian National Team when it competed at the FIVB World Championships in Sheffield, England. During the week-long event, she was listed as the seventh best digger in the world and ranked among the top-15 best hitters. Kovaci’s prominence as one of the top Albanian players was apparent early in her career. In 1996, Albania spearheaded a campaign called Vision 2000, which projected who its top athletes would be over the next three years. Kovaci was the committee’s selection as the country’s top volleyball player. Along with the recognition, Kovaci took part in various television spots and met with many Albanian and international dignitaries. Kovaci arrived on the banks of the Hudson following a one-year stint at Centre College in Danville, Ky., where she served as a volunteer assistant coach during the 2002 season. Under her tutelage, the Colonels went 23-19 and placed two team members on the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference second team. Prior to her coaching tenure at Centre College, Kovaci played in the United States Professional Volleyball League with the Grand Rapids Force during its inaugural season in 2002. In addition to playing in the four-team league, Kovaci guided high school teams and performed public relations work during her one season in the USPV. She finished second in the league in digs per game. Kovaci also played competitively in the adult USAV league. A 2002 graduate of Temple University, Kovaci earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. Kovaci was an immediate standout on the court at Temple, serving as the Owls’ captain in 1999 and 2000, while helping them to threestraight Atlantic 10 titles (1997-99). She earned AVCA All-America honors in each of those same years, and was named to the AVCA All-District team in 1998, 1999 and 2000. In addition, ASICS lauded Kovaci as an All-American in 1999 and 2000. The two-time Atlantic 10 Conference Most Valuable Player led the Owls in virtually every category her senior season. That marked Kovaci’s third major award from the conference as she picked up Rookie of the Year plaudits in 1997. In her senior season, she played in 79 games, tallied 492 kills and registered 315 digs. Kovaci also led the team with 29 service aces and ended the season second in hitting percentage (.275). Kovaci will be inducted into the Temple Athletics Hall of Fame this fall. Kovaci concluded her decorated collegiate career just 18 kills shy of the all-time record with 2,046 and graduated as the school record holder for career digs with 1,632. Her career-high 38 kills in a three-game match versus George Washington in 1999 still stands second all-time in NCAA history. It is the most kills for a three-game match since 2001. Kovaci punctuated her career during the 25th Anniversary season of the Atlantic 10 when she was named the Owls’ top volleyball player in 25 years of A-10 competition.

With her fifth season at West Point on the horizon, head coach Alma Kovaci announced the hiring of Stafford Barzey as an assistant on the Army volleyball staff in mid-April. Boasting a wealth of experience on many levels, particularly in the New York area, Barzey joins Kovaci and five-year assistant Jeremy Sands on the Black Knights’ staff. “Stafford is an extraordinary hard worker and has already shown incredible loyalty to our program,” Kovaci said upon Barzey’s hiring. “He offers an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and experience. He’s a great teacher, is extremely patient and will bring a different perspective to the program. Stafford has a very bright future in Division I coaching, and I look forward to working with him.” Barzey has already invested time into West Point, having worked the Army volleyball summer camp sessions for seven years. He spent the 2010-11 season as the head coach at City College of New York, a Division III program in Manhattan. In his one season, he mentored the Beavers to a 21-17 mark and a berth in the CUNYAC semifinals where they lost a five-set match to Baruch College. While at CCNY, Barzey was responsible for directing all aspects of the program to include practice planning and implementation, physical conditioning, player skill development, academic progress, fund raising and recruiting. “I am excited to join the outstanding staff here at Army,” Barzey said. “I look forward to the challenges ahead and continuing the tradition of excellence Army volleyball has become known for. I look forward to helping take this program to the next level.” Barzey also got head coaching experience at the club level with the Downstate Juniors Volleyball Club out of Peekskill, N.Y., and the Jersey Girls Volleyball Club (D.I.G.S.) in New Milford, N.J.

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK

2011 ARMY VOLLEYBALL A blend of veteran leadership and eager newcomers resulting in unprecedented depth will be the story for the 2011 Army volleyball team. Although the graduation of three seniors, two of which garnered major Patriot League awards last fall, has left valuable vacancies within the lineup, head coach Alma Kovaci said the team goals remain the same. “Our goal remains the same this season, which is to recapture the Patriot League title and compete in the NCAA Tournament,” said the fifth-year mentor and two-time Patriot League Coach of the Year. “We’ll take it one step at a time. I believe we’re headed in the right direction this year. This team has depth at every position more than any other year. Everyone on this team will have a role.” Fabiola Castro and Rachel Willis, Army’s only two seniors, will serve as team co-captains. Willis is one of only two players in Army history to be a two-year captain, while Castro takes on the title for the first time. The duo played a significant role in the Black Knights’ run to the 2009 Patriot League Championship and the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth in 15 years. Competition for starting roles and playing time will heat-up during preseason with the dust hopefully settling before the start of Patriot League play in late-September. SETTER Army has produced four of the last five Patriot League Setters of the Year to include Karyn Powell ’11 last season. With Powell’s departure, the setter position remains available with a couple of candidates looking to possibly earn the starting role. “The setter position is wide open,” Kovaci said. “There’s an amazing balance between experience and pure athleticism. This group will push one another and make for healthy competition throughout preseason.” Junior Alicia Dotson boasts the most collegiate experience of any setter on the roster, but has played behind Powell and former star Maureen Bannon ’10 her entire career. Dotson got the starting nod throughout much of the spring season and showed great improvement, according to Kovaci. Sophomore Lauren Wood returns after completing her first collegiate season. She played in 17 matches last fall, which was more than any other reserve setter in the rotation. Sophomore Christiana Fairfield also adds depth to Army’s corps of setters. Kovaci and her staff are enthusiastic about the potential of rookie Mary Vaccaro as well. A former all-state player in California, Vaccaro’s resume boasts playing on the U.S. Junior National Beach Volleyball team. She is projected to push for the starting role out of the gate. OUTSIDE HITTER Perhaps the most stable position in terms of players returning is at outside hitter. While others will compete for playing time, the Black Knights will rely heavily on Castro, junior Ariana Mankus and sophomore Margaux Jarka as their main threats. Army finished second in the league in kills (12.35 per set) last season. Castro has enjoyed a steady elevation in her game throughout her time at West Point and was the only Army player named to the 2010 Patriot League All-Tournament Team. Mankus enters her junior campaign looking to recapture heights reached during her freshman season when she became the first player in conference history to be named both the Patriot League Player and Rookie of the Year in the same season. Mankus remained Army’s go-to on the outside last fall and continues to be one of the most fiery, passionate players on the court. Mankus averaged 3.21 kills per set to finish fourth among Patriot League leaders last fall. Jarka made her way in and out of the starting lineup last fall, but played a significant role in Army’s success during the Patriot League portion of its schedule. She played in all but one match and averaged 2.32 kps against league competition. “I cannot say enough about how Margaux, Fabiola and Ariana played in the spring,” Kovaci said. “They were reliable and succeeded under pressure. “We have three very productive, capable outside hitters. It’s such a blessing to have because this is such a long season. If we need to give players a break or somebody gets injured, there are absolutely no worries amongst the coaching staff about putting another talented player on the court. We are starting to embrace that we have depth. All three of them have the ability to take over and carry the team on their backs.” RIGHT SIDE HITTER Junior Francine Vasquez will reprise her role as Army’s starter on the opposite side this season. The California native is coming off one of her strongest seasons yet, having represented Army on the All-Patriot League first team a

year ago. She averaged 2.44 kps to finish second on the team, while her 2.60 digs per set ranked third. “Francine will be our starter and brings such a calm confidence to the court,” Kovaci noted. “Maggie Glunt and Kerry Horan will back her up, and both have improved tremendously from last year.” MIDDLE BLOCKER Army returns an impressive crew of middle blockers to the lineup this fall, including 2010 Patriot League Rookie of the Year Megan Wilton. Joining her will be Willis, Megan Forbes, Molly McDonald and Ali McKearn vying for the starting role to open the season. Playing through a tumultuous, injury-plagued career, Willis is hopeful to finish her time at West Point on the volleyball court rather than the sidelines. She has battled knee complications throughout her career, but hopes to manage the pain moving forward in the fall. Of her two-year captain, Kovaci says, “if she can contribute, she will be on the court because the team embraces her leadership both on and off the floor.” Wilton and Forbes both made a splash during their respective rookie campaigns. Wilton earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week plaudits three times and finished second on the team in blocks (0.81 per set). Forbes played in 15 matches and started five times, while averaging 0.73 blocks per set. Standing 6-3, McDonald is one of the tallest players in recent Army memory. A highly touted prospect out of Scottsdale, Ariz., Kovaci sees McDonald contributing right away. McKearn also adds depth and experience to the mix. LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST A staple of Army’s success during Kovaci’s reign has been defensive success. The Black Knights led the Patriot League in digs last season and finished second in opponent hitting percentage. A large part of those accomplishments came thanks to 2010 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year Brittany Jensen, who graduated in May. Of the likely candidates to fill the starting libero spot will be sophomore D.J. Phee, a converted outside hitter who made a seamless transition to libero during the spring season. After beginning last year at outside hitter, Phee began her move to defensive specialist mid-way through her rookie campaign. Freshmen Deanna Dalton and Kristen Smeland will add depth to Army’s back row. Comparable to Phee in terms of player-type, Dalton brings versatility to the roster and could also contribute at outside hitter. Also a technically sound passer, Dalton could challenge for the libero position. SCHEDULE The Black Knights will play 29 regular-season matches, including 15 nonconference and 14 Patriot League contests this fall. Army will go up against teams from nine different conferences during its non-league slate, featuring programs out of the America East, Summit League, Northeast Conference, Atlantic 10, Big West, Southeast Conference, Great West, Ivy League and Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Black Knights will again enjoy home-court advantage for two nonconference tournaments – Black Knight Invitational (Aug. 26-27) and West Point Challenge (Sept. 9 and 11). Army will also participate in tournaments at Pacific (Sept. 2-3) and Yale (Sept. 17) before beginning Patriot League play on Sept. 23 at Lehigh. The Patriot League underwent a great deal of turnover in terms of coaching staffs during the off-season, as Navy, Holy Cross and Lehigh all named new head coaches. “The Patriot League will continue to be extremely competitive with teams like American and Colgate,” Kovaci said. “Not only will there be new players this season, but also many new faces in head coaching roles. Teams in the league are beginning to change their culture and playing styles as a result. This is why I believe our schedule will help prepare us in facing the unexpected. We have a tradition of winning and that will always be our focus.” The 2011 Patriot League Tournament is set to be played the weekend of Nov. 19-20 at the site of the highest seed. Army has made the four-team field in each of the last 12 years and owns four Patriot League titles (1991, 1992, 1994, 2009). Including the two home tournaments, Army will play 15 matches at home where the team went 11-5 a year ago. “We have some of the best fans following our team and the program is so grateful for that,” Kovaci noted. “The team, coaching staff and I look forward to seeing them at Gillis Field House and Christl Arena. Not only will the fans see a confident, dynamic, hungry team, but it also gives the team a distinct homecourt advantage to feed off of.”

GILLIS FIELD HOUSE: HOME OF ARMY VOLLEYBALL Gillis Field House, which serves as home for the Army volleyball and indoor track teams, is named in honor of Maj. William G. Gillis (USMA ’41). During his time at West Point, Gillis was a tremendous multi-sport athlete. Although he was probably best known for his accomplishments as the captain of the football team, Gillis also starred on the indoor and outdoor tracks. As a member of the track squad, Gillis set Academy records in the 220-yard low hurdles (which lasted for several years) and the high hurdles. After graduation, Maj. Gillis became the youngest battalion commander in the Third Army at the age of 26, and led his troops to a number of major victories against the German Army throughout Europe. Sadly, Gillis’ leadership role came to an end on Oct. 1, 1944, after he was killed in action. Despite his short time of service, Gillis earned a number of military

accolades such as the Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and several foreign ribbons, including the Distinguished Service Order and the Croix de Guerre. For the past 31 seasons the Army volleyball team has come to know West Point as ‘Home Sweet Home’. Incredibly in all those years, dating back to 1978, the Black Knights have only experienced four losing seasons on the banks of the Hudson. Army moved its home court from Arvin Gymnasium to it’s current residence, Gillis Field House, in 1999. Since its first season in 1999, the Black Knights have not endured a single losing season. Over the past three years, Army boasts a sizzling 114-32 record at Gillis Field House.

ARMY-NAVY RIVALRY

2011 ARMY VOLLEYBALL ARMY-NAVY AT WEST POINT

INSIDE THE RIVALRY ®

Though the annual gridiron meeting between the two service i academies draws most of the rivalry’s attention, Army and Navy also compete in 21 other sports, including volleyball. Compounded by the fact that both compete in the Patriot League, the volleyball teams have built a strong rivalry that has been Army-dominated as of late. Army has won 18 of the last 22 contests, including nine of the last 10 meetings. With its recent success, the Black Knights now hold a commanding 37-10 record over its Navy adversaries. Of all the varsity sports that both schools compete in, the Army volleyball team is one of the highest winning percentages against the Midshipmen (.787). With the exception of sweeps in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the rivalry between the two academies really tightened, making for some exciting contests. In 1999, Army and Navy closed out the millennium in classic fashion with the two schools splitting their two regular-season meetings and finishing in a three-way tie for first place with Colgate in the Patriot League. However, the Mids wound up with the top seed in the postseason tournament due to a better head-to-head record against the other two schools. The 1980s belonged to Army. From 1983-87, the Black Knights ran off a string of seven consecutive victories over Navy, losing only five games in that span. After a 3-2 setback in 1988, Army reeled off a ninegame winning streak that lasted until 1996. Bob Gambardella, Army’s coach from 1983-95, enjoyed the most success against the Midshipmen, posting an amazing 16-1 record versus Navy in his time at West Point. Army has never lost more than two straight to Navy.

Elizabeth Lazzari ’09 became the first volleyball player in West Point history to be awarded the prestigious Army Athletic Association Trophy. Widely considered the department’s highest honor, the Trophy is presented to the male and female cadet who displays the “most valuable service to intercollegiate athletics during a career as a cadet.” Since arriving at West Point in 2005, Lazzari established herself as a pillar in the Black Knights’ program. A native of Seal Beach, Calif., Lazzari still stands as one of just three players ever to record at least 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs. She finished her career ranked fourth and fifth on Army’s digs and kills lists, respectively. A four-time All-Patriot League player and 2005 Rookie of the Year, Lazzari’s exploits off the court were equally as impressive. She was a four-time Patriot League Academic Honor Roll member, served as the Brigade Corps Squad Officer and garnered ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-District I accolades during her decorated career. Lazzari became a commissioned second lieutenant in May of 2005, majored in Art, Philosophy and Literature and entered the Medical Service Branch of the U.S. Army.

DEANN MACHLAN ’96 ARMY SPORTS HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2005 During a stellar four-year career in which she appeared in more games (462) than all but one previous Army player, Deann Machlan ‘96 built an impressive resume that included the program’s career records for kills (1,718) and digs (1,466). In all, Machlan had a hand in eight individual records on career, season, match and game levels, with six of those standards having yet to be equaled. She set Army’s match record of 43 kills as a senior and remains the only Black Knight with more than two 30-plus kill performances in a career (four). She also remains the Patriot League’s career leader in kills, while listing second on the league’s all-time digs ladder. An All-Patriot League first team selection in 1994 and 1995, Machlan was named the Patriot League’s “Player of the Year” following her senior year. Machlan helped the Black Knights to Patriot League titles in 1992 and 1994 as Army carved a 22-5 league record between 1992 and 1995. Machlan remains the only volleyball player to be inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame, which enshrined its first class in 2004.
