COACHING STAFF brie

BRENNER

Head Coach • First Season • University of Washington, 2006 419-783-2326• BBRENNER@DEFIANCE.EDU Brie Brenner took over as the head volleyball coach at Defiance College on January 17, bringing strong local ties and a rich volleyball pedigree with her to DC. Brenner is a Defiance, Ohio native and was a two-time Western Buckeye League Player of the Year, while also earning First-Team All-Ohio honors in 2001 for Defiance High. After concluding a standout prep career, Brenner began a collegiate career at Ohio State University and then transferred to the University of Washington for her final three seasons. During her time with the Huskies, Brenner became a two-time All-PAC-10 performer and led Washington to a pair of PAC-10 Championships. The success continued on the national stage, where Brenner and UW advanced to the NCAA Division I Final Four in 2004 and 2005 and claimed the NCAA Division I National Championship in 2005. Brenner went on to play two years of professional volleyball in Puerto Rico and was voted into the athletic Hall of Fame at the University of Washington, as well as Defiance High School in 2010. Along with her extensive success on the volleyball court at the collegiate and professional ranks, Brenner also boasts eight years of coaching experience at various club and prep levels, which includes stints on staff with Defiance High and multiple club programs. Brenner began her coaching career as an assistant for the Cascade Volleyball Club in 2004 and also worked the UW summer volleyball camps from 2004 through 2006, before returning to northwest Ohio. Since that time, Brenner spent six years as the director of the Hagerty Volleyball Camp that hosted summer camps at several local high schools, including Defiance, Ayersville and Hicksville. Brenner also served as the head coach of the Toledo Volleyball Club from 2008 through 2011, leading the team to three-straight appearances at the United States of America Volleyball Nationals and working as the club’s performance trainer during each of those final three campaigns.

Hartman finished her career with over 2,000 digs. The Fort Wayne native also received a number of other awards over her college stint at Indiana Tech. Hartman received the Bill Hiatt Scholarship and Leepoxy Scholar-Athlete Award in 2011. Hartman also earned Academic All-American for three seasons from 2009 through 2011.

2012 DC Volleyball Media Guide

SEASON OUTLOOK The Defiance College volleyball team has many new faces this season, both on the court and on the sideline. The 2012 season marks the first for Brie Brenner, a Defiance native, as the head coach of the Yellow Jackets. Brenner inherits a team that had its fair share of ups and downs last season. The Jackets went on a streak of winning 10-of-11 matches but also had multiple four match losing streaks. DC finished with a 14-16 overall record and a 4-5 record in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play, finishing sixth in the HCAC standings. With only one senior on the 2012 squad, the Purple and Gold will rely heavily on its upper-classmen for experience and leadership. Brenner will face the tough task of quickly meshing the returners and newcomers to form a cohesive unit. The Jackets return seven players from the 2011 team and add five fresh faces to the squad. SETTERS The Yellow Jackets return one of the top setters in the HCAC from the 2011 season. Sophomore Alicia Kalik had a stellar freshman season and looks to build on last year’s success. Kalik was named the HCAC Freshman of the Year for the 2011 season because of her ability to excel and make an impact on so many facets of the game. Kalik is what volleyball coaches call an “active setter,” meaning she is involved in more than just setting. The sophomore recorded 776 assists, 85 kills, 141 digs and 39 total blocks last year

McDANIEL

DC VOLLEYBALL 2012 ple and Gold. Hesterman saw limited action in her freshman campaign but looks to use her year of college experience to make an impact on the 2012 season. Apps is described as a solid defender who is a consistent option on the back row. Along with being a defensive player, McQueary has the potential to help the Jackets with an impressive serve.

KALIK and also led the team in aces with 30. If Kalik builds on her success and continues to improve, the sophomore could become the top setter in the HCAC and one of the best in all of NCAA Division III. The other setter for Defiance is fellow sophomore Alyssa Turton, who saw limited action as a freshman. Turton posted a standout performance against Illinois College on October 29 with 39 assists in a four-set match. The sophomore could make an impact in the service game for the Jackets, as Turton has developed a strong serve over the offseason. LIBEROS/DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS Senior Lindsay McDaniel and freshman Rebecca Kain will compete for playing time at the libero position for the Yellow Jackets. McDaniel played the 2011 season primarily as a defensive specialist. In that role, the senior recorded the third highest dig total on the squad with 170, an average of 1.79 digs per set. McDaniel brings experience, leadership and consistency to the young squad. Kain is looking to make an immediate impact for DC. The freshman is described as a smart player, who continually looks for ways to better her game. Regardless of which player starts, both will be counted on to anchor the backcourt and post high passing percentages to turn the defense into offense for the Yellow Jacket attack. Sophomore Caroline Hesterman and freshmen JoNae Apps and Katey McQueary are the three defensive specialists for the Pur-

MIDDLE BLOCKERS The Purple and Gold’s middle blockers will be led by junior Alexis Pierce. The Wauseon, Ohio standout recorded 156 kills last season with a .256 attacking percentage. Pierce is the top returning Jacket for total blocks, as the junior totaled 91, an average of 0.84 per set last year. Another asset that Pierce gives the Jackets is height. The junior is the tallest member of the undersized squad and is listed at 6-1. Joining Pierce on the front line is freshman Haley Walchle, who lacks height but makes up for it in speed and athleticism. Walchle also adds versatility to DC, as the freshman can play multiple positions and is a well-rounded player. OUTSIDE HITTERS DC will be anchored by a trio of experienced players on the outside. Juniors Christa Seidenstricker and Chelsea Ludeman will be joined by sophomore transfer Bree Anderson to create a formidable attack. Seidenstricker will make the transition from libero to outside hitter this season. The junior thrived in the defensive role but has the tools and skills necessary to make the change to outside

hitter. Ludeman is looking to have a bounce-back season after an injury plagued sophomore year. The former HCAC Freshman of the Year will play the position of opposite hitter for the Jacket attack. Ludeman has improved her focus and is primed for a noteworthy season. The wildcard for the Purple and Gold will be Anderson, who transferred to DC from Tusculum College in Tennessee. The sophomore brings a relentless competitive mindset to the team and raw athletic ability. Anderson will play a major role in the Jackets’ success this year.

Jointly, the coaches and student-athletes will build an engaged environment that will accentuate the learning process not only within the competitive arena but also within the college campus and the community as a whole.
