KATE

PRICE

ASSISTANT COACH ... FIRST SEASON Eastern Illinois volleyball hired Kate Price as the new assistant volleyball coach this past spring. Price joins the Panther program after capturing the 2007 National Volleyball Championship in her senior season at Penn State University, in addition to a one year stint as assistant coach at Centenary College last fall. “We’re really excited to have Kate join our program,” said head coach Alan Segal. “She played four years at Penn State, winning a National Championship just two years ago. Plus she has experience as an assistant coach and comes from a great volleyball family up in Michigan.” Segal said that while Price was here for her interview, she got along great with everyone and that the volleyball squad was very excited about having her join the program. “While she was on campus, she attended our practice and showed off her national championship ring, which was a pretty exciting thing for the girls. Our ladies understand that we are getting an assistant coach that understands what it takes to win and what hard work means, which will be an obvious added plus to our program.” In her four seasons at Penn State, Price earned AVCA Honorable Mention All-Mideast Region, Big Ten ‘Freshman of the Year’, Stanford Invitational ‘Most Valuable Player’, Penn State Invitational AllTournament Team, and Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors. Not only did Penn State down Stanford to win the 2007 National Championship, but the Nittany Lions also captured the Big Ten championship all four years that she was a member of the squad. She finished her PSU career by playing in 426 of 456 total games, while tallying 755 kills, 80 service aces and 866 career digs. As a freshman, her 424 kill numbers led all Lions that season.

“She played in a variety of positions while at Penn State, doing different stuff all the time,” Segal said. “She played outside, mostly on the right, and also played in the role of defensive specialist and some libero work. Her ball control is great, plus she has a big swing. She is going to be a great asset to our passing and defensive systems.” Job-duty wise, Segal expects Price to do a little bit of everything in assisting the program, including running the annual summer camp and recruiting. “Basically I want her to be involved in everything we do, including the day-to-day stuff like practices, games, running the new film exchange and film breakdown system,” he said. “Although her biggest duties will probably be working with our passers, outside hitters, and defensive units.” “Kate has played at a level that none of our girls have seen before, so her input will be amazing,” said Segal.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

OVC HISTORY & STAFF

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In 2008, for only the second time in the past decade, the conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and track & field for men; and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field, and volleyball for women. The OVC has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletic opportunities it provides for students. In addition to newest member SIU-Edwardsville, other current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State and Murray State, along with Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois, Jacksonville State, Southeast Missouri, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, and UT Martin.
