2009 season preview For the second straight season, the EKU volleyball team was snake bit by injuries in 2008. Five players missed significant time, including four starters. After a stellar freshman season, outside hitter Amanda Fago missed the entire season. After leading her junior college squad to a national championship, middle blocker Autumn Harms missed her entire first season as a Colonel. Kate Hendle, the team’s only setter, missed the first 12 matches of the season. Lindsey Loescher, who led the team in kills, missed the final two matches of the season as the team attempted to earn a spot in the conference tournament. Ashley Horak, a key reserve to begin the season but a likely starter after the injuries hit, missed the final 24 matches of the season. “Injuries have such a long reaching effect on the program,” EKU Head Coach Lori Duncan said. “Not only does it affect our ability to compete in the fall, it also impacts our preparation for the next season because it affects off-season workouts and practices in the spring. The spring is an absolute critical part of the success you have the following season.” The team has put the bad luck behind them, and is focusing on the future. Five starters from last season’s team that finished 6-23 return for the 2009 campaign. Loescher, Hendle, Kelsey Rose (5-7, DS), Abby O’Connor (5-4, Lib.), and Jill Henneman (5-6, DS) are the returning starters. A year ago, Duncan had only two returning starters and had welcomed eight newcomers to campus. She begins her 12th season with 11 returning players and three newcomers that will contribute to the team’s success immediately. 2009 Seniors “Every season that we’ve done really well, we’ve had a very good strong, healthy spring,” said Duncan. “The spring of 2007 and spring of 2008 we didn’t have enough healthy bodies to compete. This spring we had 11 kids going through it and it is really going to show this fall.” Once again, Duncan will lead her squad against a challenging non-conference schedule leading up to an 18-match home-and-home conference schedule. EKU will play four matches against teams that advanced to last season’s NCAA tournament. The Colonels will go up against three teams that won their regular season conference title. Eastern will face Marquette, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and Ohio in the first three weeks of the season. “No one in the OVC will play a tougher preconference schedule,” Duncan said. “However, I’m convinced that our team is up for it. They’ll raise their game and won’t back off. They want to be pushed.”

cluded the season fourth in the OVC with an average of 9.22 assists per set. She recorded 30 or more assists in 11 of 17 matches, including a season-high 53 assists against SIU Edwardsville. The Colonels will have some depth at the position this season. Freshman Jessica Mueller joins the team after earning plenty of recognition at Solon High School, where she played her senior season for head coach Liz Guard, a former Eastern Kentucky University AllAmerican. “It is such a relief, especially after the last two seasons, to have depth at this position,” said Duncan. “Kate (Hendle) is not inexperienced as she was two years ago and she’s not dealing with injuries as she did last year. She has two years of setting the oﬀense under her belt and she’s completely healthy. Jessica is a good athlete and is catching onto the oﬀense quickly.”

DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS After a season learning from one of the top liberos in the nation, former Colonel Brittany Nobilio, O’Connor excelled in her first season as the starter. She led the OVC with an average of 4.813 digs per set and ranked 40th in the nation in the same category. She registered double-digit dig totals in 26 of EKU’s 27 matches and had 20-plus digs 12 times. O’Connor recorded a career-best 32 digs in a five-set match against SIU Edwardsville. Her 515 digs in 2008 was the 10th most ever in one season by a Colonel. “Abby’s going to lead our team defensively,” Duncan said. “Ball control will determine how much oﬀense we’re able to run. So we’re looking for Abby to be a catalyst in that area. Jill (Henneman), Kelsey (Rose) and Nicole (Mulhall) will be a big part of that as well.” Rose finished second on the team with 222 digs and second with 18 aces. Henneman started 25 matches as a freshman and finished second on the team with 290 assists and third with 197 digs. Nicole Mulhall saw plenty of action in her first season as a Colonel, finishing with 100 digs and 12 aces.

with 219 digs. Newcomer Lauren Snyder and junior Chelsea Lee oﬀer plenty of depth outside. Snyder played the past two seasons at NCAA Division I Central Connecticut State where she was twice selected to the all-conference team. Lee saw much more court time her sophomore season and contributed 42 kills and 21 blocks. “Lindsey, Lauren and Amanda (Fago) will rotate in the outside hitting positions,” said Duncan. “Where last year we were scrambling to find help outside, depth will be the key this year.”

MIDDLE BLOCKERS The Colonels will be happy to have Harms back on the court. As a sophomore she totaled 444 kills, a .360 hitting percentage and a teambest 151 blocks for Kishwaukee College. She’ll be joined up front by freshman Toni Michalski. Hannah Groudle and Jessica Meads will provide depth when not playing on the right side. “Having seen what she was capable of this past spring, I’m very excited about having Autumn (Harms) healthy and having her lead our attack out of the middle,” Duncan said. “Toni compliments Autumn very well. The two of them will be a nice presence in the middle. We haven’t had this kind of combination the last couple of years.” Michalski was a four-year letter winner at Munster High School and earned all-conference honors three times. OUTSIDE HITTERS Loescher led the team and finished second in the conference with an average of 3.67 kills per set on her way to earning a spot on the 2008 Ohio Valley Conference All-Newcomer team. In addition to leading the team in kills, she also led the squad in aces (21) and points (408), was third in digs (197) and fourth in blocks (29). “Lindsey (Loescher) put up great numbers last year, but she wasn’t 100 percent healthy for much of the second half of the season,” said Duncan. “With better health and more weapons, she’ll be even more eﬀective this year.” After missing last season due to an injury, Fago will look to improve upon an outstanding freshman season in 2007 when she finished second on the team with 279 kills and 25 aces, third on the squad with 313 points and fourth

RIGHT SIDE Meads and Groudle will anchor the right side and fill in occasionally in the middle. Groudle finished her freshman season third on the team with 38 blocks, fourth with 114 kills and fourth with 137 points. Meads had 189 kills and 128 blocks two seasons ago at Kishwaukee College. Michalski will also see some court time on the right side. “We’ve lacked consistency recently from our right sides,” Duncan said. “The years that we’ve won championships we were getting offense out of our right side. This year the best thing is we have options. We have middles that can play right side and right sides that can play middle.”

head coach Lori Duncan Position: Head Coach Year: 12th Season Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, ’84 Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pa. 2004 OVC Coach of the Year Head coach Lori Duncan enters her 12th year at the helm of the Eastern Kentucky University volleyball team and continues to lead the Colonels to great success. Under her guidance, Eastern Kentucky captured a share of consecutive regular season titles in 2004 and 2005, winning the conference tournament in 2004 and earning the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. Three years ago, the Colonels finished with a 17-14 mark and returned to the OVC Championships despite competing without several key players due to various circumstances throughout the season. In each of the past two seasons, Duncan’s teams have been bitten hard by the injury bug. Several key players have missed significant time, including two starters that missed the entire 2008 season. The 2004 OVC Coach of the Year recorded three straight 20-plus win seasons at EKU after inheriting a team featuring all walk-ons in her first season (1998).

As just the second coach in the history of Eastern Kentucky volleyball, as well as a former all-conference player for the Colonels, Duncan has a deep understanding of the university. No stranger to Richmond, Duncan began her collegiate playing career at Eastern in 1980 under the guidance of former Colonel head coach Geri Polvino and played an intricate role on three straight OVC Championship teams and one NCAA Tournament team. During her four-year collegiate career, Duncan was a key player for three of EKU’s seven-consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championship teams. While at Eastern, Duncan was a four-time All-OVC selection (1980-83), an OVC All-Tournament team honoree (1983) and an AIAW All-Region choice in 1980 as an outside hitter. She was also chosen as EKU’s Female Athlete of the Year in 1984 and won team awards for Best All-Around Player and Best Defensive Player following her senior campaign. Duncan still sits third among all Eastern players with a .271 career hitting percentage. “To be back at my alma matter doing something I love is just fantastic,” Duncan said. “Few people can know what it’s like to come back and lead a program you once played for.” Duncan has also gained coaching experience at the Junior Olympic level, leading teams to the East Coast championship during three years. At the junior level, she coached 10 athletes who furthered their education at such Division I schools as Penn State, Ohio State, Arkansas, North Carolina State, Kent State, Loyola (Md.) and EKU. In 1995-96, her Nike Steel City Juniors were ranked 25th in the nation. Duncan received her bachelor of science in recreation and park administration with a minor in physical education from EKU in 1984. She later completed two master’s degrees at Eastern Kentucky, for physical education in 1986 and for student personnel services in 1987.

Eku athletics hall of fame Dr. Geri Polvino (inducted 2006) Retired Eastern Kentucky volleyball coach Geri Polvino, who started the Colonels’ volleyball program in 1966 and led the team through the 1997 season, was selected as a member of the inaugural class of the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame and in 2005, became the first volleyball coach inducted into the Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame. In her 32 years with the EKU volleyball team, Polvino compiled a 627-439 record while leading the Colonels to nine regular season conference championships and eight league tournament titles. During her tenure, she earned a leaguerecord eight OVC Coach of the Year awards and pioneered the National Invitational Volleyball Championships. Prior to joining the Ohio Valley Conference, Polvino led the Colonels to three straight KWIC (Kentucky Women’s Intercollegiate Conference) state titles from 1971 to 1973 and gained national exposure after winning the 1971 AIAW Region II Championship. In a six-year span, Eastern won four AIAW Region II titles and advanced to the national tournament each of those years. In 1975, the Colonels made their best showing with a 14th place at the AIAW National Championships. In addition to her work at Eastern, Polvino served as president of the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Coaches Academy and chaired the CWS Volleyball Rules Committee. As one of the sport’s most respected authorities, she gained worldwide recognition when she became the first certified female instructor in the International Volleyball Federation. Polvino traveled the globe as she worked as a clinic instructor both in the United State and abroad. Throughout the years, she served on the National Invitational Volleyball Championships Board of Directors and on the selection committee for the U.S. Volleyball Association’s Men’s All-American Team. Polvino was a voting member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s weekly Top 25 poll and three times, served as the campus director of the IVBF International Coaches Course, attracting more than 200 coaches from around the world to the EKU campus.

“Because my volleyball experience at Eastern Kentucky was remarkable, I decided to pursue coaching as a profession. Dr. P taught us the value of TEAMWORK, LOYALTY, INTERGRITY and DISCIPLINE. She will always exemplify what makes EKU and our volleyball program extraordinary.” – Head Coach Lori Duncan

Dr. Doug Whitlock’s love affair with Eastern began when he arrived on his hometown campus as a first-generation undergraduate student in 1961. It continued unabated throughout a 38-year career in various administrative and teaching roles at EKU, including a five-year stint as Vice President for Administrative Affairs, from 1998-2003. His last three years of service were as a half-time faculty member in the Department of Computer Science. As he addressed faculty and staff at a campus-wide convocation on Aug. 15, 2007, just two days after being named President for the interim, Dr. Whitlock recalled the tremendous difference the institution he cherishes has made in his own life. (The Eastern faculty) “largely made me what I was then and am now,” he said.

In February 2009, Dr. Whitlock was on hand at the State Capitol to announce the partnership between Eastern Kentucky University and General Atomics to examine the potential for a cellulose-derived biodiesel fuel industry in Kentucky.

“I will admit to you that I love Eastern, and when my service in the presidency is finished, if I have helped more of you love her too, then I will have done my job.” – President Whitlock – On Oct. 22, 2007, the interim label was removed and now, as EKU’s 11th President, Dr. Whitlock is devoted to upholding the rich tradition of his alma mater while guiding her to even greater heights of excellence. After earning two degrees from Eastern – a bachelor’s degree in history and social science in 1965 and a master’s degree in history a year later – Dr. Whitlock earned his doctoral degree in higher education from the University of Kentucky in 1981.

After two years of active duty with the U.S. Army, Dr. Whitlock returned to Eastern in 1968 to serve as Director of Publications. Three years later, he was named Director of Public Information. In 1976, he was tapped by President J.C. Powell to serve as Executive Assistant to the President, continuing in that role through the administration of President Hanly Funderburk. As Vice President for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Whitlock was responsible for Facilities Services, Public Safety, Information Technology and Delivery Systems, Media Resources, and University Farms. For a portion of his tenure, he also served as the institution’s chief financial officer. Dr. Whitlock has long been an active participant in community life, serving since 1999 on the Madison County School Board, including two terms as chair. He also has served as a consultant with the Kentucky School Boards Association. He is an Elder and past board chair in the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He and his wife, Joanne, have been married 39 years and have two grown children, Robert and Janet. At his first convocation as President, Dr. Whitlock offered faculty and staff one gauge by which his stint as President may be judged: “I will admit to you that I love Eastern, and when my service in the presidency is finished, if I have helped more of you love her too, then I will have done my job.”

Did You Know … … Dr. Whitlock holds two degrees from Eastern Kentucky University – a bachelor’s degree in history and social science as well as a master’s degree in history.

eku athletics support services Jack Ison Varsity Weight Room Housed in the Moberly Building is Eastern Kentucky University’s varsity weight room, a state of the art facility which provides EKU’s student-athletes the opportunity to enhance their abilities by making use of top-of-the-line equipment. The 5,000 square foot weight room contains 16,000 pounds of total weight. Built in 2001, the facility features Eleiko model Olympic weights, York dumbbells with two sets each from five to 150 pounds and Nebula power stations and racks. Tools such as bands and medicine balls are used as well to help round student-athletes into peak shape. Head strength and conditioning coach Jon-Michael Davis, along with full-time assistant Chad Scott, oversee all of EKU’s nearly 300 student-athletes. Their eﬀorts are supplemented by the training room staﬀ, which is also housed in the Moberly Building, allowing athletes the opportunity for fast and convenient treatment.

Chad Bratzke Academic Success Center The Chad Bratzke Student-Athlete Academic Success Center (SAAS) is one of the newer facilities at Eastern Kentucky University. The SAAS Center, located in Alumni Coliseum, is designed to aid EKU’s student-athletes in all facets of their academic pursuits. A former EKU All-American and 11-year National Football League veteran, Bratzke was instrumental in furnishing the center properly with his generous gift to EKU athletics. Included in the academic facility are tutoring facilities, a quiet study area, a computer lab and administrative oﬃces. Within the Bratzke Center, student-athletes are provided academic support, guidance in class registration, supervised study tables, access to computers and intense tutoring in all subject areas. The Bratzke Center is fortunate to be fully-funded at the Division I personnel level, including full-time coordinator Randy Kennedy, full-time assistants and numerous graduate assistants. Eastern Kentucky University has won a league-best eight OVC Institutional Academic Achievement Awards in the award’s 20-year history. This past school year, 11 Colonel student-athletes were awarded with a 2008-09 OVC Medal of Honor including volleyball player Bridget Mustard. In addition, 71 student-athletes were named to the 2008-09 Commissioner’s Honor Roll including eight volleyball players. Medal of Honors were awarded to the student-athletes that earned the highest grade point averages in each conference sponsored sport and this past year all of the honorees achieved a perfect 4.0. To be listed on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the recipients must have posted at least a 3.25 grade point average.

Athletics Training Facilities Eastern Kentucky’s student-athletes benefit from one of the finest athletic training facilities anywhere in the country. The training room is located in the Moberly Building adjacent to the athletic weight room and is open for use by any EKU student-athlete. The large space is occupied by the most modern training and rehabilitation equipment available. The training room features several tables used during treatment and rehabilitation, taping tables, a wet room that features whirlpools and a four-foot-deep rehab pool that includes a submerged treadmill for aquatic rehab exercises. The area also features all of the latest modalities, helping get injured athletes back into the game as quickly as possible. The athletic training room also houses an examination room used by team doctors. The physicians are regularly on site and perform evaluations, while assisting the training staff in ensuring the health of every student-athlete. Director of Sports Medicine David T. Green supervises all of EKU’s efforts, and is joined by full-time assistants David Brajuha, Tim Pike and Tiffany Napier, as well as a host of graduate assistants and students who are involved in the University’s athletic training program. For those sports that are primarily located in Alumni Coliseum, there is a satellite training room area that features a treatment and taping area as well as rehabilitation equipment. 40
