Preseason rePort

B I G E A S T P r e s e a s o n Coaches Poll The Louisville Cardinals have been selected as the favorite in the 2011 BIG EAST Volleyball Preseason Coaches’ Poll. For the third time in four years (2008, 09, 11) the Cardinals were selected to win the league’s regular-season title, this year receiving 190 points and 11 first-place votes. Notre Dame was picked second, edging defending regular-season champion Cincinnati, which was selected third. The votes were cast by the league’s 15 head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own teams. Louisville (23-8, 12-2 BIG EAST) finished second in the regular-season standings in 2010, posting a 12-2 conference record. The Cardinals navigated their way to the BIG EAST title game and defeated top-seeded Cincinnati in straight sets to capture the 2010 BIG EAST Championship. First year head coach Anne Kordes inherits BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year junior Lola Arslanbekova, who finished second in the conference last season in total kills with 444 and third in points per game with 4.19. Arslanbekova was selected to the All-BIG EAST First Team in 2010; she also earned a spot on the AVCA All-Northeast Region team as well as the AVCA Division I Honorable Mention All-America Team. The Cardinals also return All-BIG EAST Second Team selections senior Gwen Rucker and sophomore Emily Juhl, who were both voted on to the All-BIG EAST Preseason Team. Juhl was named the BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Player in 2010. Louisville has become a regular in the final of the BIG EAST Championship, making it to the title game six times and winning the crown four times since joining the conference in 2005. Since the inception of round-robin play in 1990, 20 of the last 21 preseason favorites have advanced to the final of the BIG EAST Championship. Of those favorites, 15 have captured the tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Championship, while 14 have taken the regular-season title. Teams have won both the regular-season title and BIG EAST Championship 14 times, most recently St. John’s in 2007. Notre Dame (18-13, 10-4 BIG EAST) was selected to finish second with 176 points and one first-place vote. The Fighting Irish will be led by sophomore Andrea McHugh, the 2010 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. McHugh earned All-BIG EAST First Team honors last season and was selected to the All-BIG EAST Preseason Team this year. In 2010 she was named the AVCA Northeast Region Freshman of the Year, as she led Notre Dame with 386 kills and 437.5 points. The Fighting Irish also will return senior Kristen Dealy, who was named to the All-BIG EAST Preseason Team this year. After registering a 13-1 BIG EAST mark in the regular season in 2010, Cincinnati (30-6, 13-1 BIG EAST) has been tabbed to finish third with 175 total points and three first-place votes. Reigning BIG EAST Coach of the Year Reed Sunahara will have to replace two All-BIG EAST First Team performers including 2010 BIG EAST Player of the Year Stephanie Niemer as well as Annie Fesl. Junior Jordanne Scott returns as a unanimous Preseason All-BIG EAST Team pick. Scott earned All-BIG EAST First Team honors last year. With 11 returning letterwinners, the Golden Eagles of Marquette (23-9, 11-3 BIG EAST) were picked to finish fourth for the second consecutive year with 164 points. Marquette returns All-BIG EAST First Team performer senior Ashley Beyer. Last season Beyer was named to the AVCA All-Northeast Region as she finished second in the conference in kills and points with 3.87 per set and 4.40 points per game, respectively. She is a 2011 All-BIG EAST Preseason pick. Seniors Kim Maroon and Maggie Mergen of Villanova, senior Megan Matusiak of Seton Hall, senior Darlene Ramdin of St. John’s and senior Noemie Lefebvre of Syracuse also were named to the All-BIG EAST Preseason team. Maroon was one of three unanimous selections. The volleyball season will start on Aug. 26. BIG EAST play begins with a 14-game opening weekend on Sept. 23-25. The BIG EAST’s 15 volleyball teams play every league school once for a 14-game schedule. The top eight finishers in the BIG EAST standings, based on winning percentage, advance to the BIG EAST Volleyball Championship hosted by Marquette University at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee, Wis. First-round action of the BIG EAST Volleyball Championship will begin on Nov. 18. The event spans three days and is singleelimination. ESPNU will televise the championship game on Nov. 20.

P ir at es p i r at e s n o t e b o o k • Seton Hall is coming off its second straight BIG EAST Championship appearance after finishing sixth in the conference in 2010. • The Pirates return five starters highlighted by second team All-BIG EAST selection Meghan Matusiak. The senior reached the 1,000-kill mark for her career in the Pirates’ final match of 2010 and was fifth in the conference in points per set and sixth in kills per set. • Junior Morgam DeVries and senior Krissy Wrobel add a veteran presence to the middle blocker position. DeVries led the team in attack percentage in 2010, while Wrobel has been the squad’s blocks leader the past two seasons. Incoming freshmen Olivia Desormey and Ashani Rubin will provide depth to the position and could see significant playing time. • SHU will welcome in Pennsylvania’s Gatorade Player of the Year in setter Shelbey Manthorpe, who has earned a variety of all-American honors and is one of the most decorated players to join the Seton Hall program. She will also be joined by her twin sister, Stacey, who plays outside hitter.

oran ge orange notebook • All-BIG EAST Second Team member Noemie Lefebvre returns for her senior season. She led the Orange last year both offensively and defensively, recording team highs in kills (360) and digs (324). • Syracuse will look for its nine incoming freshmen to have an immediate impact in 2011. Six of them come from outside the United States; Emily Betteridge (Ontario), Margaret Darling (Ontario), Andrea Fisher (Ontario), Nicolette Serratore (Ontario), Ying Shen (China), and Qian Zhao (China). • Junior setter Laura Homann already sits in seventh place on SU’s all-time assists list. Her 1,174 assists as a freshman and 1,171 assists as a sophomore are also good for ninth and 10th on the Orange single-season assists list, respectively. • Syracuse looks to continue its undefeated non-conference streak. The Orange were 18-0 last season in the non-conference. Dating back to the 2009 season, SU has a non-conference record of 30-5. • Syracuse returns its two leading blockers from the 2010 season in Lindsay McCabe and Samantha Hinz. McCabe recorded a team high in solo blocks (17) and total blocks (118) as a freshman, while Hinz tallied a team high in block assists (102) and ended with 113 total blocks.

Mountaine er s m o u n ta i n e e r s n o t e b o o k • The WVU roster features nine returners and three newcomers, including seniors Kylie Armbruster, Michelle Kopecky, Abby Monson, Kari Post and Serinna Russo. • Anchoring the Mountaineer offense at the setter position will be three-year starter Kari Post. Post returns for her final season after leading the team in 2010 with 999 assists, 13 double-doubles and recognition as the Best Setter at the WVU Classic. For her career, Post has amassed 2,597 assists, which puts her sixth on WVU’s alltime list. • Kylie Armbruster and Michelle Kopecky return on the outside for the Mountaineers. Last season, Kopecky was named Best Attacker at the WVU Classic and finished second on the team in kills (249) and service aces (25). Armbruster also had a successful year, finishing third on the team in digs (279) and fifth on the team in kills (199) and service aces (15). • With the loss of all-time digs leader Bonnie West to graduation, senior Serinna Russo will step into the leadership role defensively. Russo, who played one season at WVU after transferring from Concordia-Irvine, was fourth on the team in kills with 210 and finished second on the team in digs with 437.

2010 Review Player of the Year

Freshman of the Year

A unanimous selection for BIG EAST Player of the Year, Niemer led the conference in kills per set (5.20), while ranking third in aces per set (0.40) and fourth in hitting percentage (.339). Her kills average also placed her fourth in the nation, while her 6.06 points per set ranked her fourth.

Niemer was named AVCA National Player of the Week on Sept. 21 after recording a total of 60 kills over a two-match span in wins over Purdue and then-No. 5 Illlinois.

Notre Dame, Outside Hitter Yorba Linda, Calif. McHugh was nothing short of impressive for Notre Dame in her rookie campaign. The freshman finished seventh in the conference and first among freshmen in kills per set, averaging 3.45. McHugh was even better in conference play, notching 4.08 kills per set against BIG EAST opponents, placing her second in the league. The Yorba Linda, Calif. native was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week five times this season, the most for a BIG EAST rookie since Annue Luhrsen also won five times in 2005. McHugh was also an All-BIG EAST First Team Selection.
