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
KARYN POWELL ’11
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.

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

“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

There are approximately 12,000 applications each year for less than 1,200 cadet vacancies. Applicants compete for vacancies and are evaluated in three areas: academics, physical aptitude and demonstrated leadership ability. Cadet vacancies are allocated to each member of Congress and to the representatives to Congress from Washington, D.C., Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Mariana Islands. Many foreign governments are also invited to nominate cadets under a Department of State program, so the student population at West Point is incredibly diverse. The following is an overview of the first three steps toward gaining admittance to West Point. Further information regarding the admissions process and orientation visits is available by calling the Director of Admissions at (845) 938-4041.

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.

2012 ARMY VOLLEYBALL
Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. “We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunites they receive through intercollegiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become officers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-athletes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop into the leaders our nation needs.” In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relationships in several key areas. In recent months, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add significant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 million dollars in major gifts and record-setting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured. In addition to his role in enhancing revenues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning process that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department. In his first full year at West Point, Corrigan oversaw a program that won three Patriot League championship (baseball, women’s soccer, women’s tennis) and sent four teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Eighteen cadets earned a major award from their conference, including six Rookies of the Year selections and three Player of the Year winners. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In 2011-12, Army had five Academic All-Americans, including four first-team selections. The Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011, a first for the program since 1957. The Black Knights also boasted three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including overall men’s winner Brendan Buckley. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez became the first Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honoroed with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the first Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its annual showdown
with arch-rival Navy. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a national audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army football team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape. Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthetics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The first phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season. In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee. 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 post. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous 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. 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.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
BOO CORRIGAN Director of Athletics
Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. 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. His collegiate experience alos inlcudes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the former Kristen Acetoa, a former field hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school. The couple has three children, Finley (11), Tre (9) and Brian (8). He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.
Boo Corrigan was announced as West Point’s athletic director on Feb. 1, 2011.

MEET THE BLACK KNIGHTS
HEAD COACH ALMA KOVACI
2012 ARMY VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH ALMA KOVACI Temple ’02 Sixth Season Record at Army: 117-36
In just five 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 brief tenure at West Point, Kovaci has authored a sizzling 117-36 (.765) 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 32-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. Kovaci became the third coach in Army history to reach the century mark at West Point in 2011, joining legendary head coach Bob Gambardella (1983-1995) and her mentor, Glen Conley (19992006). 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 12 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, 2010 Patriot League Rookie of the Year Megan Wilton and reigning Patriot League Setter of the Year Mary Vaccaro. 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 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

GILLIS FIELD HOUSE: THE 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 RECORD IN GILLIS FIELD HOUSE 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008* 2009* 2010* 2011 Totals

ARMY-NAVY RIVALRY
2012 ARMY VOLLEYBALL ARMY-NAVY AT WEST POINT
INSIDE THE RIVALRY ®
Though the annual gridiron meeting between the two service academies cademies draws most of the rivalry’s attention 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 20 of the last 24 contests, including 11 of the last 12 meetings. With its recent success, the Black Knights now hold a commanding 39-10 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 (.796). While the rivalry has gone back and forth at times, the Black Knights owned the 1980s and the most recent seven-year span. Army recently swept the Mids in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011. Army has never lost more than two straight to Navy and enters the 2012 campaign riding a four-match win streak against its rival.

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.
