INTRODUCTION

The bIG 12 conference The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 15th season in 2010-11. Since it began play in 1996-97, the conference can boast 38 team crowns and 440 individual NCAA Championships. Big 12 squads enjoyed a strong year across the board in 2009-10. Oklahoma State won the NCAA men’s cross country title while Texas captured the national championship in men’s swimming and diving. Texas A&M secured men’s and women’s outdoor track and field championships, and the Big 12 had the No. 1 team in the nation at Dan Beebe some point during the 2009-10 season in nine different sports. Commissioner In volleyball, six teams qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament, including five teams that reached the NCAA Regionals. Nebraska joined Texas, Iowa State, Texas A&M and Baylor to give the league more selections than any other conference. The Big 12 also had a school play for the BCS National Championship (Texas) for the seventh season. Oklahoma finished second nationally at the NCAA women’s gymnastics finals - an all-time high for the Big 12 - while Oklahoma State placed second at the men’s golf championship. Iowa State was third at the NCAA wrestling championships and the Big 12 also placed a team in Carmen Branch the College World Series in both softball (Missouri) and baseball Volleyball Contact (Oklahoma). The individual honors also continued, as Jenny Barringer (Colorado) earned The Bowerman Award, presented for the first time to the most outstanding collegiate women’s track and field athlete. Caroline Hedwall (Oklahoma State) was named the recipient of the Honda Sports Award as the nation’s top female golfer after capturing the NCAA individual title. Lisa Koll (Iowa State) earned the Honda Sports Award as the top collegiate female athlete in track and field. The Big 12 has had four Heisman Trophy winners in its 14-year history. In 2008, the Big 12 established a high-water mark, as four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma). The league followed that recognition with two of the top five finalists, including NU defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, in 2009. During the past six seasons a total of 16 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the conference, including each of the past 13 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with its seven appearances in BCS title games. Seven league squads have played for the football national championship in the last 10 years with berths in 17 BCS games overall. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) earned countless accolades for her work away from competition, being named the Academic All-America of the Year for all sports in both 2006-07 and 200708. She was also named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate studentathletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 249 scholars have received over $1.6 million in postgraduate financial aid. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, swimming and diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. In 2010-11, conference schools include Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 46 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint. The conference conducts championships for 19 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the Bowl Championship Series. In its first 14 years, the conference has distributed more than $1.2 billion to its 12 member institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

INTRODUCTION

NEBRASKA coliseum

The Nebraska Coliseum has been sold out for the last 135 matches dating back to the 2001 season. It is the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics.

One of the foundations for Nebraska’s athletic success is its outstanding facilities, and few home courts in the country are as tradition-rich as the Nebraska Coliseum, the home of the Husker volleyball program. Over the years, the 4,030-seat NU Coliseum has provided the Nebraska volleyball program with an unmatched home-court advantage. “Winston Churchill said ‘in the beginning, we build buildings. In the end, we are shaped by the buildings we live in.’ I think the Coliseum shapes Nebraska volleyball,” Former Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit said. “It’s an environment that creates intimacy. It’s a classic structure and in a lot of ways reflects what the Nebraska program is all about.” The Coliseum, which sits nestled on the University campus, is a beautiful display of architecture, highlighted by its powerful Roman columns gracing the front steps. But while it’s beauty is appreciated by Husker players, coaches and fans, it is one of the most dreaded places for opponents to play in the sport of volleyball, and arguably one of the toughest places to play in college athletics. “If the volleyball gods wanted to build a volleyball court, the Coliseum would be it,” NU Coach John Cook said. “It’s a very intimate setting. Everyone feels part of the event.” During the Terry Pettit/John Cook era, the Huskers have qualified for 28 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, and the Coliseum crowd has willed the Huskers to many victories in the historic building. Cook credited the NU Coliseum crowd with willing the Huskers to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win over South Carolina in the 2000 NCAA second round that kept the Huskers’ national championship season alive. Nebraska volleyball has had unmatched success in the confines of the cozy Coliseum, posting 16 undefeated seasons and compiling an all-time record of 481-32 (.938) under its roof. The Huskers are 196-14 (.933) since 1990 in the building, including 11

The Wall of Honor was unveiled in 2003 to permanently showcase the greatest players in Nebraska volleyball history. Six former Huskers have received the honor, most recently Stephanie Thater in 2008.

undefeated seasons in that span. While these numbers are impressive, Big 12 and former Big Eight members managed even fewer wins. That’s because Nebraska doesn’t lose to conference opponents in the Coliseum. Only five times in 34 years of regular-season Big Eight/Big 12 play has a conference opponent ever won on the Coliseum floor. In fact, during that time, only five conference opponents have managed to win in Lincoln. Nebraska suffered its first-ever regularseason loss to a conference foe in 1999, falling to Kansas State to snap a streak of 101 consecutive wins against regular-season conference opponents. Under John Cook, the Huskers have dropped only four Big 12 home matches at the Coliseum over the last decade. Cook and Pettit said the home-court advantage is most valuable during its long, hard-fought battles. “You feel incredibly confident when you get into a fifth game in the Coliseum because of the electricity in tight matches,” Cook said. “The home crowd was a big advantage when we were fatigued or drained in the middle of a four- or five-game match,” Pettit said. “The players used the energy and electricity from the fans to pull them through difficult stretches. I don’t think that it’s as big an advantage against the elite teams, but it definitely makes a difference.” Nebraska has used that success at home to propel it through the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers have hosted an NCAA Tournament match every season since 1984 and have capitalized on each opportunity by compiling a 49-3 playoff record in the stoic building. And Nebraska fans have been rewarded by seeing eight of the Huskers’ 11 NCAA regional championships won on their home court. Nebraska carried a 65-match Coliseum win streak into the 1999 season, but suffered a loss to No. 6 Pacific in the State Farm/NACWAA Classic semifinal. In 2002, the Huskers carried a 63-match home winning streak into its NCAA regional final match against Hawaii, but fell, 3-1. The Huskers won 82 straight matches at the NU Coliseum from 2004 to

2009, helping Nebraska set an NCAA-record 90 match home win streak. The win streaks are a direct result of Nebraska’s frenzied crowds that routinely jam the building’s bleachers. The Huskers finished second nationally in attendance in 2009 with a Coliseum average attendance of 4,100, a total that is 102 percent of the Coliseum's listed capacity. Single-match tickets in 2009 sold out in just 20 minutes. Nebraska enters the 2010 season with 135 straight sellouts in the building dating back to 2001. The Coliseum surroundings create a unique volleyball- and fan-friendly environment. “To appreciate the athleticism and the speed of the game, you have to be down close and the Coliseum provides that intimate setting," Cook said about the NU Coliseum atmosphere. Fans have been known to line up as much as four to five hours in advance to see their Husker volleyball team in action. During the 2009 season, fans set an NCAA regular-season attendance mark of 13,870 for a match against UCLA in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska has averaged more than 3,000 fans for 16 of the past 18 seasons and have been ranked in the top three nationally in attendance each year for more than 20 years. The Coliseum’s roots go back to the 1920s when it was the home for the Husker basketball team. NU’s cagers played on its hardwood floors from 1926 to 1977, when the construction on the Bob Devaney Sports Center was completed. Since then, the volleyball team has been its lone tenant. In 1991, the Huskers had a one-year hiatus from the Coliseum while the building was being renovated and tailored for volleyball. The renovation provided a more comfortable atmosphere for players, coaches and fans. Among the additions were a new sound system, scoreboard, overhead lights and a new floor. Offices for coaches and administrators, as well as a conference/ media room, were constructed for a better working environment. Over the years, the building has seen numerous additions to add to the comfort of both players and fans, while keeping the tradition of the building and the Husker volleyball program. Over the past decade, locker rooms, training areas and coaches offices have all been upgraded to provide Husker student-athletes with some of the best facilities in the country. For fans, HuskerVision replay boards, a new scoreboard and new displays have been added, recognizing the great heritage and tradition of the program. Additional seating for fans was created in 2005, with the addition of the Husker Courtside Club. This added 64 premium seats on the Coliseum floor, giving fans an upclose view of all of the exciting volleyball action, and making Nebraska one of the first programs in the country to add premium courtside seating for volleyball.

The NU Coliseum was the home of the Nebraska’s men’s basketball team until the Bob Devaney Sports Center opened in the mid-1970s.

The Husker Courtside Club was established in 2005, providing fans an up-close view of Husker volleyball. It was one of the first premium seating locations for volleyball in the country.

Jordan Larson and the Huskers take on Oklahoma during the 2007 season. The Huskers won 82 straight matches at the NU Coliseum from 2004 until 2009.

Before 1900, Nebraska football teams were known by such names as the Old Gold Knights, Antelopes, Rattlesnake Boys and the Bugeaters. In its first two seasons (1890-91), Nebraska competed as the Old Gold Knights, but beginning in 1892, Nebraska adopted Scarlet and Cream as its colors and accepted the Bugeaters as its most popular nickname until the turn of the century. Named after the insect-devouring bull bats that hovered over the plains, the Bugeaters also found their prey in the Midwest, enjoying winning campaigns in every year of the 1890s until a disappointing season in 1899. After its first losing season in a decade, it must have seemed only fitting that Nebraska move in a new direction, and Lincoln sportswriter Charles S. (Cy) Sherman, who was to gain national renown as the sports editor of the Lincoln Star and help to originate the Associated Press poll, provided the nickname that has gained fame for more than a century. Sherman tired of referring to the Nebraska teams with such an unglamorous term as Bugeaters. Iowa had, from time to time, been called the Cornhuskers, and the name appealed to Sherman. Iowa partisans seemed to prefer Hawkeyes, so Sherman started referring to the Nebraska team as Cornhuskers, and the 1900 team was first to bear that label. Of course, the name caught on and became a Nebraska byword, eventually becoming the official nickname for the state. There was no official symbol of a Cornhusker, and various cartoonists have caricatured the mystical something that typifies Nebraska football— some winning fan approval and others arousing fan ire. The cartoon character, “Herbie Husker,” evolved out of Nebraska’s trip to the 1974 Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Artist Dirk West of Lubbock, Texas, designed a Cornhusker cartoon for the Cotton Bowl press headquarters that caught the eye of former Husker SID Don Bryant. Later, Bryant contacted West for permission to use the cartoon, and West expressed a desire to refine his original cartoon and improve some of the character’s features. As a result, West was commissioned to draw an original Cornhusker cartoon character that served as a mascot for all Husker athletic teams. “Herbie” is the registered logo of the Cornhusker Athletic Department, which controls its use. West’s concept of Nebraska football is appropriate—a burly, rugged and confident fellow who is proud of both the athletic and the agricultural traditions of the University of Nebraska. In 2003, “Herbie” enjoyed a resurgence in the spotlight as he underwent a makeover, helping him better portray Nebraska's "image of strength and power." A new and improved “Herbie” was unveiled Aug. 30, 2003. Along with Herbie, the athletic department unveiled Lil’ Red, the Cornhuskers’ contemporary mascot, in 1994. Lil’ Red has been commonly seen on the sideline of all Nebraska athletic teams in recent years and remains NU’s official mascot along with “Herbie.”

Veteran Husker Squad Eager for 2010 Season “Paige showed a lot during her first year and you could see her confidence growing by the week,” Cook said. “Although she may not have as much experience as our other players, her athleticism and consistency on the court have put her in a position to earn some playing time.”

Kayla Banwarth was second in the Big 12 in digs with 4.96 per set as a junior, earning honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors.

Senior Lindsey Licht averaged 3.32 kills on .350 hitting in helping Nebraska win 12 of its final 14 matches in 2009.

For Husker volleyball fans, the anticipation for the 2010 season has been building since NU capped a successful spring with a 17-day trip to China. For Husker players, it began last December when a loss to Texas in the regional final ended a strong secondhalf surge by Nebraska. The Huskers had won 10 straight matches before falling to the runner-up Longhorns one match shy of the national semifinals. For Head Coach John Cook, preparations for this season began in August of 2009, when he talked about the “two-year journey” his team would have, culminating with this year’s NCAA Championship in Kansas City. He understood that the foundation was in place for a run at a national title, but the team would have to find its own path to success. It was a rocky road at times in 2009, as Nebraska lost four of its first 13 matches and sputtered to find a consistent rhythm. By the end of the year, the Huskers had finally found their stride. NU swept 10 straight foes, including regional participants Iowa State, Texas A&M and Baylor, before running into the eventual national runner-up. “Last year was a great wake up call for our program,” Cook said. “Even though losing those matches hurt at the time, it may have been the best thing to happen because it helped our team get mentally tough.” When the team got together for the first time in January, he saw a hungry squad that was chomping at the bit to get back into the gym. “I’ve seen how driven this team has been since January, and when you combine an experienced team with the inner drive this group has, the potential is there for a special year,” Cook said. “We have built a great foundation by having everyone here since January. It has allowed us to build our systems and get everyone on the same page. Our China trip also played a big role since we had a month together as a team and were able to get some younger players match experience.” Cook has a lot of talent at his disposal entering the 2010 campaign. Nebraska welcomes back six starters, including All-Americans Sydney Anderson, Brooke Delano and Tara Mueller, but also 12 letterwinners from last season, allowing the team to be ahead of the curve.

“We also have a lot of competition for playing time and that motivates people to work very hard, especially in summer conditioning,” Cook said. “I think we will have some very spirited practices once fall camp begins.”

Nebraska is stout on the back row, as all three of its defensive specialists return this season. Kayla Banwarth leads the rotation, as the senior begins her fourth season as Nebraska’s starting libero. Backing up Banwarth are two sophomores eager to prove themselves in Megan Pendergast and Paige Hubl. Banwarth anchored the Husker defense in 2009, finishing second in the Big 12 with 4.96 digs per set, as her 570 digs were the second-highest total in school history. She had 20 or more digs in 13 contests, including a careerhigh 32 against both Minnesota and Baylor. An honorablemention All-Big 12 performer, she was at her best in the NCAA Tournament, averaging 6.00 digs per set. With 1,186 career digs entering 2010, she will likely become the school’s all-time leader in that category. “Kayla has put herself in position to be one of the top liberos in the country,” Cook said. “She is a leader in our program and has a lot of responsibility in our system.” Pendergast was used extensively as a defensive and serving specialist, averaging 1.33 digs and 0.21 service aces per set in 16 matches. Her best match came against No. 11 Minnesota, when she had 12 digs and a service ace in the five-set win over the Gophers. A former Fab 50 pick, Pendergast could also add depth at outside hitter. “The thing that stands out about Megan is her athleticism,” Cook said. “She showed the ability to play at a high level at times last year, and is working to become more consistent. Having another year in our system will only benefit her.” Hubl played in two matches last year, including NU’s NCAA Tournament opener against Coastal Carolina after walking on to the team. She has impressed the coaching staff with her athleticism as well as her attitude.

Setter is a position of strength for the Huskers in 2010, as the Huskers return two-time All-American Sydney Anderson and junior Brigette Root, while Lauren Cook transferred from UCLA, who was the AVCA National Freshman of the Year in 2009. “One of the best things about the spring and our training for China was that we had both Sydney and Lauren in the gym,” Cook said. “They bring the best out of each other and raise the level of our play in the gym significantly. Both have that ability to make everyone better around them. It only happens a few times when you have two quality setters like that in the program.” Anderson has been a picture of consistency since joining the program in 2008, becoming the eighth Husker setter to be a two-time All-American. She garnered thirdteam All-America accolades last season, averaging 11.53 assists, 0.77 kills and 2.45 digs per set. The former U.S. National Team member recorded 14 double-doubles on the year and helped NU hit .300 or better in 13 matches. “Sydney has worked hard to refine some parts of her game in the offseason,” Cook said. ”When you are an All-American and play at the level she has played at, it is hard to improve much, but you are always looking for ways to get better. She is also one of our captains and the leadership she provides is important, whether it is by making plays in the defining moments or holding her teammates accountable to play at a high level.” Root has been a valuable back-up at setter the last two years after walking on to the program. Last year, she was used as a serving specialist, appearing in three matches. A former all-state performer, she led Grand Island High School to back-to-back Class A runner-up finishes. “Brigette is our utility player, and we use her in a number of situations in practice and she works every day to make our team better,” Cook said. “ She is selfless in the ways she helps our program and that makes her one of the most respected players in our program.” Cook comes in with impressive credentials, earning honorable-mention All-America honors in 2009 at UCLA. She averaged 10.69 assists, 2.44 digs, 0.77 kills and 0.40 blocks per set. She totaled 16 double-doubles while helping the Bruins to 24 wins and a runner-up finish in the Pac-10. She was one of the nation’s top setters at Lincoln Pius X High School, leading the Thunderbolts to three consecutive state titles. She also was the starting setter for the Nebraska Juniors National title team in 2009. “Lauren has been successful at every level she has played and brings a lot of big-match experience into our program,” Cook said. “Having her in our gym lifts the level of play on both sides of the net and helps all of our players improve. She is willing to fit in whatever role to help this team accomplish its goal.”

The only loss in the Husker starting lineup is at middle blocker with the graduation of Kori Cooper, a two-time All-Big 12 performer. The cupboard is far from bare, as Nebraska returns All-American Brooke Delano at one middle blocker spot. Junior Jordan Wilberger and sophomore Allison McNeal will contend to join Delano in the starting lineup. Delano burst on to the national scene in 2009, earning second-team All-America honors in her first year as a starter. She averaged 2.34 kills and 1.09 blocks per set, ranking in the top five of the Big 12 in both blocks and hitting percentage (.339). Delano reached double digits in kills in 10 matches and hit .400 or better in 14 of 31 contests, including 10 kills on 12 swings against Missouri. “Last season gave Brooke a lot of confidence,” Cook said. “She has a chance to make more progress this year because she is continuing to maximize her athletic ability and working hard to study the game. Brooke now has a better understanding of what we expect from our middle blockers, and has become one of our team leaders.” Wilberger, who started eight matches last year when Cooper was recovering from knee surgery, has been a steadying influence in the Husker lineup. She made 20 appearances last year, averaging 1.20 kills and 0.64 blocks per set. Wilberger led NU in blocks three times, including a season-best seven blocks against eighth-ranked UCLA. “Jordan has played in a lot of big matches for us over the last two years,” Cook said. “She is consistent on the court and has worked hard to put herself in position to contend for a starting spot this season. She is admired by her teammates for the work ethic she brings to the court.” McNeal was one of the players who benefitted most from the Huskers’ trip to the Far East. After playing just 11 matches last year, McNeal was outstanding, hitting .490 over 10 matches in China, while finishing third on the team in both kills (62) and blocks (18). A former Fab 50 selection, she could be in line for a big sophomore campaign. “Our trip to China was a breakthrough for Allison as she was a dominant player for us,” Cook said. “She proved to herself what we’ve seen in glimpses over the past two years - that she can be a big time player in this program. Allison has always had the tools to become a great player, but now has seen what she can do, and has that experience she can draw on.” One Husker who will be out for the season is redshirt freshman Hayley Thramer, who underwent shoulder surgery in June. She was a Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 pick two years ago after totaling 478 kills on .515 hitting, 110 blocks at Ewing High School. Thramer was making a strong case for playing time before suffering the injury in Nebraska’s final spring match. “Losing Hayley was a blow to our team because she was playing at a very high level in the spring,” Cook said. “She is someone who is not afraid of hard work and can pick up things quickly. The good thing for us is that she should recover and be healthy for next season.”

“No one in college volleyball has ever had two 6-foot-5 lefties playing on the right side,” Cook said. “If Lindsey and Morgan are among our best players, then we will create a system to get both players on the court.” While not receiving some of the accolades of her teammates, Licht’s strong play keyed Nebraska’s secondhalf surge. She averaged 2.83 kills per set on the year, but hit .350 and tallied 3.32 kills per set during the Huskers’ final 14 matches. Licht, who was healthy in 2009 after off-season surgeries on her feet and elbow, led Nebraska in kills in eight of the final 14 matches and is poised for a exceptional senior campaign. “Lindsey showed people the level she could play at when healthy last season,” Cook said. “She played at an All-American level during the second half of Big 12 play and that has carried over to this year. She is a point scorer for us and allows us to be able to run some points.” The lone freshman on the 2010 roster, Morgan Broekhuis has quickly shown that she can play at the Division I level after enrolling in January. The ESPN Rise National High School Player of the Year and No. 2 senior nationally by Prepvolleyball.com, Broekhuis totaled 465 kills and 411 assists in leading Colorado Springs Christian to a 30-0 record as a senior. A two-time Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year, she led the Huskers with 87 kills on the China trip. “Morgan has a chance to be a special player in this program,” Cook said. “There are not too many 6-foot5 lefties who can play all the way around. The most impressive thing about her is the composure and maturity she has on the court. She picks things up on the court as fast as any freshman we’ve had here. When you watch her on the court, she does not play like a freshman.”

The Huskers return all of their primary outside attackers from last year in senior Tara Mueller and sophomores Hannah Werth and Gina Mancuso. The trio combined for nearly seven kills and more than seven digs per set last year. “We are fortunate to have three outside hitters who have experience in our program,” Cook said. “During

the spring and in China, we rotated all three and didn’t designate starters. All three have the ability to start and that will be one of the things we will look at in fall camp.” Mueller, the lone senior among the group, was a solid performer, averaging 2.97 kills, 2.49 digs and 0.28 service aces per set, as she ranked among the Big 12 leaders in service aces. Mueller, a second-team All-American in 2008, had eight double-doubles, including a 22-kill, 15-dig performance at SEC Champion LSU. She has been a big-match performer throughout her career, earning MVP honors at the 2008 Seattle Regional to help the Huskers to the NCAA semifinals. “I think Tara is very motivated for her senior year,” Cook said. “Tara played at a very high level through the spring and at times on the trip to China, and we believe she can play at that level throughout the season.” Werth made an immediate impact in the Husker program as a freshman. She was the AVCA Central Region and Big 12 Freshman of the Year after averaging 3.18 kills and 3.07 digs per set. Werth ranked second on the team with 13 double-doubles and became the first Husker freshman to ever average more than three digs and three kills per set. An honorable-mention All-American, Werth topped the Huskers in kills a team-best 13 times, including a season-best 19 kills against Oklahoma. “Hannah is a perfectionist and spends a lot of time outside practice working to get better,” Cook said. “Our focus with her is to help her become more consistent on a daily basis, which will naturally happen with more experience. She showed more consistency in the spring and is poised for a great sophomore year.” Mancuso’s all-around efforts proved to be vital for Nebraska last year, as she played in 32 matches as a outside hitter/back row specialist. She averaged 1.58 digs and was fifth in the league with 0.28 service aces per set, a total which led all Big 12 rookies. She had three matches with at least 10 digs, including a season-best 16 digs against Iowa State. Mancuso nearly recorded a doubledouble in her first career start, a nine-kill, 13-dig effort in a win over national semifinalist Minnesota. “Last year was valuable for Gina because it gave her a chance to play in some big matches, and that experience is starting to pay off for her this year,” Cook said. “She played with a lot of confidence in the spring and was our best outside attacker on the China trip. We are hoping that continues during the fall.”

The Huskers sold out all 15 regular-season matches at the Coliseum in 2009, needing only 30 minutes to sell out the entire allotment. The sellout streak - which is the longest ever by an NCAA women’s college program - began in 2001. The last non-sellout came on Sept. 25, 2001, against Creighton. The Huskers have annually been among the national leaders in volleyball attendance for the last two decades. In 2009, Nebraska ranked second nationally with an average of 5,197 fans per match. It was the third time Nebraska has averaged over 5,000 fans per match. 2009 NCAA Attendance Leaders No. School 1. Hawaii 2. Nebraska 3. Wisconsin 4. Minnesota 5. Washington

Huskers in the Polls

Nebraska has been a fixture in the AVCA coaches poll for nearly three decades. The Huskers, who finished fifth in the final 2009 AVCA poll, have been ranked in all 400 polls since its inception in 1982. Nebraska and Stanford are the only two programs in the country to have that distinction. Nebraska has spent 366 weeks in the top 10, trailing only Stanford’s total of 367, and have been ranked in the top 10 for the past 97 polls, dating back to the start of 2004. The Huskers head all programs at the top of the all-time polls, spending 81 weeks alltime at No. 1, including a 26-poll stretch over the 2006 and 2007 seasons.

Megan Pendergast

#10

5-7 • Sophomore • Libero/Def. Specialist• League City, Texas (Clear Creek) 2010: Outlook

With a season of experience under her belt, Megan Pendergast could be in line for more opportunities as a sophomore • Saw action in 16 matches last season as a defensive specialist, averaging 1.33 digs and 0.21 service aces per set • Had a career-best 12 digs in a win over eventual NCAA semifinalist Minnesota in the AVCA Showcase • Is an explosive athlete who ranks in the top five on school performance charts on the step approach (33.5 inches, first), vertical jump (30.5 inches, first), pro-agility drill (4.30 seconds, second) while holding the performance record with 2,989 points • Shifted from the outside hitter role in high school to libero which is similar to what Kayla Banwarth did when she arrived in 2007 • Continues to pick up the nuances of the libero position and has made rapid strides since arriving on campus in January of 2009 • Showed the ability to run points with a potent jump serve • Will back up Banwarth at libero and may provide depth at outside hitter to take advantage of her skills. “The thing that stands out about Megan is her athleticism,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “She showed the ability to play at a high level at times last year, and is working to become more consistent. Having another year in our system will only benefit her. We will also have her train at outside hitter to give us additional depth at that spot.”

6-5 • Freshman •Right Side Hitter/Setter• Colorado Springs, Colo. (Christian) 2010: Outlook

Freshman Morgan Broekhuis (pronounced Brookeheiss) has the ability and competitive drive to make a major impact early in her college career • Was one of the nation’s top seniors after leading Colorado Springs Christian to four straight state titles during her prep career • Named the ESPN Rise National High School Player of the Year in 2009 after recording 465 kills and 411 assists in the team’s 6-2 offense • Graduated from high school early to enroll at Nebraska in January of 2010 • Played well during the spring and on the team’s offseason trip to China • Was extensively used as a right side hitter in the spring, splitting time with senior Lindsey Licht in 5-1 sets and playing the second right side spot when NU ran a 6-2 attack • Possesses great hands and athletic ability • Showed the ability to compete at a high level in the spring and will contend for significant playing time as a freshman • Gained valuable experience with the U.S. Junior National Team in 2009, as she was one of the youngest players on that squad • Ties for the tallest player in school history, matching Sarah Pavan and Lindsey Licht. “Morgan has a chance to be a special player in this program,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “There are not too many 6-foot-5 lefties who can play all the way around. The most impressive thing about her is the composure and maturity she has on the court. She picks things up on the court as fast as any freshman we’ve had here. When you watch her on the court, she does not play like a freshman.”

38│2010 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL

The philosophy of John Cook can be summarized in two simple words. Dream Big. When Cook took over the reins of the Nebraska volleyball program, the challenge facing him was daunting. Cook replaced one of the sport’s legendary coaches in Terry Pettit, who won 694 matches and guided the Huskers to 18 consecutive NCAA appearances and six national semifinals. Cook, who left an emerging power in Wisconsin to guide the tradition-rich Husker program, had his own vision for Nebraska volleyball. He saw a program that had even more potential to grow. His goals included consistently selling out home matches at the NU Coliseum, expanding the media exposure for his program and most importantly, continuing the tradition of athletic and academic excellence started by Pettit nearly a quarter of a century earlier. Cook saw the long-range potential of building the audience across the state. He also believed Nebraska could shine by hosting the sport’s championship in the largest setting college volleyball had ever seen. When others saw risks, Cook saw opportunities. In 2006, Cook’s dream was realized, as the Husker Nation had an opportunity to see Nebraska raise the bar in college volleyball. From record-setting, sold-out crowds at the Qwest Center Omaha, to a team that maximized its potential in winning the school’s third national title, the Huskers enjoyed a remarkable season. The Huskers entered the 2006 campaign with many questions, as they were forced to replace three AllAmericans, including AVCA National Player-of-the-Year Christina Houghtelling. With four first-year starters on the court, including freshmen at setter and middle blocker, and sky-high expectations with the NCAA Championships in Omaha for the first time, 2006 shaped up to be Cook’s toughest coaching job to date. Nebraska took on all challenges head-on, going 33-1 and becoming only the third team in NCAA history to be ranked No. 1 the entire season. The Huskers went on the road and overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Minnesota to reach the national semifinals, marking the first time that Nebraska had won a regional outside the state. That victory set the stage for a watershed moment in college volleyball. Behind sellout crowds of over 17,000, the Huskers captured the school’s third national title with victories over No. 4 UCLA and No. 2 Stanford. Four players earned AVCA All-America honors, including Sarah Pavan,

who became NU’s first Honda-Broderick Cup winner. Two years later, the NCAA Championships returned to Omaha with another Husker team taking center stage. An all-time NCAA attendance record of 17,430 traveled through a winter storm to witness one of the greatest matches in Nebraska’s illustrious history. After dropping the first two sets to No. 1 Penn State, Nebraska fought back, winning the next two sets to hand the Nittany Lions their only set losses of the 2008 season. Although the Huskers were unable to complete the comeback, the performance symbolized a never-say-quit attitude that fueled the team’s success. Despite losing a pair of performers to season-ending injuries, the Huskers went 31-3 and won their fifth consecutive conference title. At the Seattle Regional, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to send the match to a fifth set and trailed 9-3 in the fifth set before regrouping and earning the school’s 11th trip to the NCAA semifinals. Jordan Larson, Tara Mueller and Sydney Anderson all earned All-America honors, while Larson was named Big 12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to sweep both honors. Consistent excellence has been a hallmark of Cook’s Nebraska squads. Over the last decade, Cook has guided the Huskers to a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances and eight Big 12 titles. His teams have compiled a national-best 307-26 record, including a 188-12 Big 12 mark. Overall, Cook is 100-21 against ranked teams at NU, including a 19-11 mark against top-five teams. With Cook at the helm, Nebraska has produced numerous individual honors, including four U.S. National Team members, a Honda-Broderick Cup winner, three AVCA Division I National Players of the Year, two NCAA Top Eight Award winners, 32 AVCA All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans of the Year, 17 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, six Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. Husker student-athletes have also combined for 37 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 55 academic All-Big 12 certificates. Cook’s accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed, as he is a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year, earning the prestigious honor in 2000 and 2005, and a three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year. He is one of only four active coaches - and one of six all-time - to be a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year and was honored in 2008 by USA Volleyball, receiving its All-Time Great Coach Award. The Huskers have enjoyed unprecedented success over the last six seasons, making three appearances in the

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION NCAA semifinals. Nebraska is also only the school to reach the Elite Eight in each of the last six years. During the 2009 season, Nebraska overcame a slow start to play its best volleyball down the stretch. The Huskers won 10 straight matches - all by sweep - before falling to eventual runner-up Texas in the regional final. NU finished with a 26-7 record and was ranked fifth in the final AVCA poll. Brooke Delano and Sydney Anderson earned AVCA All-America honors, while Kori Cooper repeated as a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American. In 2007, the Huskers set a pair of NCAA single-match attendance records and won the Big 12 title for the fourth consecutive year. The Huskers advanced to the regional final before a loss to Cal ended a 30-2 season, while a school-record five Huskers earned AVCA All-America awards. Pavan, Houghtelling and Tracy Stalls all earned first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. The 2005 campaign was a special one for the Nebraska program. The Huskers advanced to the national title match for the fifth time in school history and finished with a 33-2 mark. Nebraska led the nation in blocking (4.12 per game) and ranked in the top 10 nationally in assists, kills and hitting percentage. Four Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Houghtelling was named AVCA National Player of the Year. Cook’s vision is for the Huskers to remain at the forefront of college volleyball to enhance the sport at both the local and national levels. Nebraska enters 2010 with an NCAA-record 135 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum - the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics. Cook has also been instrumental in helping to expand the program’s visibility throughout the state and the Midwest. Nebraska played a regular-season match in North Platte in 2004, and the team has played exhibition matches in Scottsbluff, Ogallala and Wayne over the last decade. In addition, Cook’s efforts have helped Nebraska enjoy one of the most extensive multi-media packages in the country, as every match is carried live on a state-wide radio network and nearly every contest is shown either live on television or streamed live on the Internet. “It is a reflection of Nebraska volleyball and the program, and not about one person or one player,” Cook said when accepting the AVCA Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2005. “We’re trying to be a leader in the sport. We’re trying to take risks and dream big, and fortunately I’m surrounded by a lot of people who have that vision. I’m really proud of what we’re doing to try and enhance the sport.”

Cook was named the AVCA National Coach of the Year after guiding the Huskers to a 34-0 record and the 2000 national championship. The Huskers, who became just the second team in NCAA history to cap an undefeated season with a national title, were ranked No. 1 in the AVCA/USA Today Top 25 poll for 14 straight weeks. Greichaly Cepero earned AVCA National Player-of-the-Year honors. Three Huskers claimed AVCA All-America certificates, and five Nebraska players were named to the All-Big 12 teams. Laura Pilakowski earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and a conference-best seven Huskers earned academic All-Big 12 recognition. In 2001, Cook’s second season, Nebraska fell just two wins short of capturing another NCAA title. The Huskers, who were ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the AVCA poll all season, went 20-0 in the Big 12 and Cook was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year. NU finished the season with a 31-2 record after falling to eventual national champion Stanford in the NCAA semifinals. Nebraska placed four players on the AVCA All-America teams, while right side hitter Nancy Metcalf was selected as an NCAA Top Eight Award winner and was also named the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year. Pilakowski and Cepero joined Metcalf on the CoSIDA Academic All-America teams, as Pilakowski earned second-team honors and Cepero received third-team recognition. In Cook’s third season, the Huskers continued their remarkable success. NU finished the season ranked fifth in the AVCA poll with a 31-2 record to secure its third straight 30-win season. Nebraska produced the most dominant conference season in school history, going 20-0 and losing just two sets en route to winning the league championship for the third straight year. Cepero and Amber Holmquist again earned first-team AVCA All-America honors, and Pilakowski was recognized on the second team. Pilakowski was named a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American, and Holmquist was a second-team pick. Cepero, Holmquist and Pilakowski shared Big 12 Player-of-the-Year accolades. Cook faced perhaps his greatest coaching challenge at Nebraska in 2003, when the Huskers had to replace three All-Americans and their first-ever libero. That season, Cook opted to run a 6-2 (two-setter) offense to utilize as many players as possible. NU went on to finish the season with a 28-5 record and an appearance in the Sweet 16. The 2004 season may have been one of Cook’s best coaching jobs, as a youthful squad that featured five freshmen and sophomores in the lineup went 30-2 and was ranked No. 1 heading into the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers led the nation in both opponent hitting percentage (.103) and blocks per game (4.02) before falling to two-time defending NCAA champion USC in five sets in

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION the regional final. Three Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Pavan was chosen as the AVCA National Freshman of the Year. That group of Huskers became the centerpiece of Nebraska’s consecutive NCAA Finals teams in 2005 and 2006.

Building the Badgers

Cook, who served as an assistant under Pettit for three seasons from 1988 to 1991, took over the Nebraska head coaching job after serving as associate head coach during the 1999 season. Before returning to Nebraska in 1999, Cook led Wisconsin to six straight postseason appearances in seven seasons as the Badgers’ head coach. Cook’s accomplishments at Wisconsin earned him praise as one of the game’s top young coaches. Cook built the Badgers into a top-10 program during his seven-year career in Madison, which included back-to-back trips to the NCAA regional finals in 1997 and 1998. In his final match at Wisconsin, Cook’s Badgers fell to the Huskers in a three-hour, five-set battle in the 1998 Pacific Regional Championship in the NU Coliseum. Wisconsin ended the season ranked seventh in the final USA Today/AVCA Coaches Poll with a 30-5 record. Cook compiled a 161-73 ledger at the helm of the Badgers, including an 89-51 league mark in one of the nation’s toughest conferences. He was named the Big Ten Co-Coach and AVCA District 2 Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading the Badgers to a share of the Big Ten title with a 19-1 mark and school-best 30-3 overall record. In his seven years at Wisconsin, the Badgers advanced to six straight postseason tournaments, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 1995, Wisconsin won the National Invitational Volleyball Championship with a perfect 6-0 record. During his tenure at UW, he coached four AVCA All-Americans, nine AVCA All-District award winners, 11 All-Big Ten honorees and two Big Ten Freshmen of the Year. He also coached 21 academic All-Big Ten selections.

Other Coaching Experiences

Cook also brings Olympic and championship experience to the Husker staff. As the first assistant coach with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball team, Cook aided the United States to a bronze medal in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The team’s defensive coordinator,

he was also in charge of scouting and supervising the team’s flexibility, strength and conditioning programs. For his Olympic coaching experience, Cook was honored in June of 1993 at the NACDA/USOC Collegiate Coaches Recognition Awards Luncheon. He also served as the head coach of the Women’s National Volleyball Training Team in 2004. During his first tenure at Nebraska (1989-91), the Huskers advanced to the NCAA semifinals two of the three seasons, including a runner-up finish in 1989. Nebraska went 36-0 in conference play, capturing three Big Eight Conference titles. During that time, he served as Pettit’s recruiting coordinator, chief scout and strength and conditioning coordinator. Cook was also the liaison with the academic advising center. In the U.S. Olympic Festival competition, Cook served as head coach of the bronze medal-winning North team in 1989 and was an assistant coach with the third-place West team in 1987. A co-founder of the San Diego Volleyball Club, Cook served as a coach with the club from 1986 to 1988. The club won two Southern California Regional Championships and finished among the final four teams twice in the

USVBA Junior Olympics for girls 18 and under. Cook also served as the head assistant coach at the University of California-San Diego from 1983 to 1984, where he aided the Tritons to an NCAA Division III national championship in 1984 and a second-place national finish in 1983. Cook’s coaching credentials also include leading Francis Parker High School in San Diego to two California state championships. During his six-year coaching stint from 1981 to 1988, he had an overall record of 162-18, including a 90-match winning streak. A well-known speaker on volleyball skills, Cook travels around the nation participating in clinics. During his stay at Wisconsin, he served as the host of the Badger Coaching Symposium every spring. A graduate of the University of San Diego, Cook earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 1979. He completed his master’s degree in teaching and coaching effectiveness from San Diego State in 1991.

NCAA Winningest Active Coaches A licensed pilot, John Cook had an opportunity to fly with Blue Angels when they we were in town for the Lincoln Air Show.

What is your coaching philosophy? There are four things that come to mind. No. 1, I see myself as a teacher. It was always my dream to be a teacher, and coaching is teaching. No. 2, next to my family and my faith, the people involved with Nebraska volleyball are the most important thing in my life. Third we like to recruit great athletes and are flexible enough to create a system that takes advantage of the strengths of the players in our program, so our players can reach their full potential. How can we make each athlete the best volleyball player they can be? That’s the question we try to answer. Finally, our players are committed to academic excellence and becoming complete studentathletes. What do you enjoy most about coaching at Nebraska? There are two things that make coaching at Nebraska so special. First, it is the passion of the people across the state for our team. There is a love affair between our players and the fans across the state. Second, is that our players are great young women who work hard, make great choices and are excellent students. In 2006, we won an NCAA title, as well as the Life Skills Award for the athletic department. We have a group of people who are committed to giving back to the community and understand that there is more to college life than volleyball. When you are recruiting a potential student-athlete, what are Nebraska’s biggest selling points? I think the best thing for a recruit to do is see our team play. We play at a high level, but what may be most important, is how we play. It’s a very exciting brand of volleyball based on great athletes moving very quickly and transitioning very fast. We’ve always had a reputation of taking great athletes and training them to become exceptional volleyball players. We have a great academic tradition with our academic support staff, the Hewit Center and our Student Life Center which opens this fall. We lead the nation in academic AllAmerica honors, NCAA Top Eight Award winners and the majority of our players go on to graduate school following their playing careers. I think another important factor is the exposure our program receives. Our goal is to be on the cutting edge. We are the only program in the country that has its own volleyball radio network, a state-wide weekly television program and nearly every match shown live on the Internet. This gives us opportunities to connect with our fans, and has played a major role in our sellout streak. Our school’s rich volleyball tradition over the years also plays an important role in recruiting. In many cases, people know they were meant to be here.

What do you look for in a recruit? Academically we have a tradition of great studentathletes. Because the program’s emphasis is on being accountable, the program attracts people who have already been successful in the classroom. But we’ve also taken some people who were merely good students and helped them become great students. In addition to looking for great student-athletes, the players we attract to Nebraska are ones who not only have the athletic ability to be successful, but also are highly competitive. They don’t shy away from challenges, whether it is in practices or in matches because they know it will allow them to reach their full potential as a player. We are also in a unique situation at Nebraska where our student-athletes have a platform to make a difference in people’s lives. We look for people who are going to embrace that opportunity and give back to the community. Talk about your program’s emphasis on developing players for their post-collegiate careers? At Nebraska, we believe that the program we put in place gives our players a chance to play beyond their college career. When I was with the men’s national team for the 1992 Olympics, I got an understanding of what it takes to be the best in the world. We’ve tried to implement that at Nebraska and call it Training the Whole Athlete. It just doesn’t mean we are going to make them a great volleyball player. Obviously, we are going to do that and our program’s success reflects that. We are going to train them mentally on how to compete at the highest level and continue on if they elect to do so. It is also about getting them to understand the self-discipline it takes to work in the weight room, understanding their bodies and knowing how to take care of them in areas such as flexibility, recovery and nutrition. Our mission in this program is two-fold. One is prepare them if they want to have a professional career. Second, many of our former players are going into coaching, and they are leaving Nebraska armed with lots of information. If they can go into coaching, they have the ability to make a tremendous impact on the lives of other people with that information. It is a two-fold mission, and we feel that our program has a great understanding and implements it as well as anyone in the country in a college setting. What do you hope student-athletes take from their years with the Nebraska volleyball program? First, we hope they have the opportunity to play professionally. We had nine former players playing around the world last year and that is a testament to their hard work in reaching their playing potential. Another way we

measure that is by how many of them go into coaching after they graduate. Over 50 percent of our former players are in the coaching ranks, whether it is at the college, high school or club level. The second thing we want them to understand is the importance of giving back. At Nebraska, our players are viewed by the public and kids in the state with almost a rock star status. What we hope they learned at Nebraska is to use that platform to create a positive message and take that lesson throughout their lives. How important is the NU Coliseum to Husker volleyball? I have coached at Nebraska in some capacity for nearly 15 years, and time and time again, I’ve seen the Coliseum will the Huskers to wins in close matches. I don’t know if it’s the ghosts or spirits of the building, or maybe just the intense energy of the fans, but playing in the Coliseum has become pivotal to our success. It’s exciting for the players to know that no matter who the opponent is, the Huskers will play in front of a sold-out crowd. We annually rank among the national attendance leaders and have 135 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum. Our fans give us an unmatched home court advantage.

Coaching Ledger

Seasons at Nebraska

• Assistant Coach, 2008-present

Other Coaching Experience

Erik Sullivan is in his third season with the Nebraska volleyball program. He handles player training and works with the middle blockers while serving as recruiting cocoordinator. Sullivan also handles opponent scouting and game preparation and oversees NU’s summer camps. Sullivan’s stint at Nebraska marks his second stop in the Big 12, as he served as an assistant coach at Colorado for four seasons. He said his extensive playing background with the national team and professionally has helped shape his coaching philosophies. “The thing I learned playing around the world is that you can win in different ways,” Sullivan said. “There is not one model or style that leads to success. Many of the players at Nebraska have aspirations of playing either professionally or at the national team level, and I can help in their preparation and with the demands of continuing a volleyball career following college.” A two-time U.S. Olympian, Sullivan has made a quick impact in the Husker program, as he has tutored a pair of first-team All-Big 12 performers in Brooke Delano (2009) and Kori Cooper (2008-09) along with Amanda Gates, who earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 laurels in 2008. Delano, who ranked fifth in the Big 12 in both blocks and hitting percentage, earned second-team AVCA All-America honors in 2009, while Cooper, who topped the Big 12 in hitting percentage as a senior, was a two-time honorablemention All-America selection. His middle blockers have also excelled off the court, as Cooper (2008-09) and Gates (2008) were honored as first-team CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica selections.

Before Nebraska

In his four years at Colorado, Sullivan helped the Buffaloes to three straight NCAA appearances and helped tutor a pair of players who earned All-Big 12 recognition, including two-time all-region selection Allie Griffin, who is currently playing on the AVP Tour. He worked primarily with the outside hitters and team passing during his time in the Buffaloes’ program. In 2006, he helped Colorado knock off No. 1 Nebraska, the only loss on the NCAA champion Huskers (33-1) schedule that season.

Playing Experience

Sullivan, 37, brings a wealth of playing experience into the Husker program, including eight years with the U.S. National Team. He started for Team USA at libero at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and served as co-captain of Team USA at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. His defensive successes are well documented. He earned Best Defensive Player in the World at the 1998 World Championships and that same year he earned the USA National Team’s Tom Haine Players’ Award. Sullivan was touted as the America’s Cup Best Reception Player in 2000 and the Best Libero at the 2001 World Championship Qualifier. He was the Best Defensive Player at the 1997 NORCECA Zone Championships and the Best Reception Player at the 1999 NORCECA. Sullivan’s playing experience has also stretched to the professional ranks in Europe. His professional resume includes stints in Naefels, Switzerland (1995-97), Malaga, Spain (1999), Apeldoorn, The Netherlands (2000-01) and Odintsovo, Russia (2003). In the United States, Sullivan played professionally on the Four-Man Volleyball Beach Tour in 1996-97. He was named the tour’s Rookie of the Year in 1996 and was tabbed the tour’s Left Side Player of the Year in 1997. In addition to his playing experience, Sullivan served as director of the Pikes Peak Volleyball Club in Colorado Springs, Colo., from 2001 to 2002 and served as coach of the club’s 17 & Under contingent. A two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) second-team All-American at UCLA, Sullivan led the Bruins to a pair of national titles during his four-year playing career (1992-95). Sullivan finished his career as UCLA’s all-time leader in matches with 10 or more digs (25) and ranked second in career digs (747). As a senior in 1995, Sullivan captained the Bruins to an NCAA title while ranking ninth nationally in digs (2.5 dpg). He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in physiological science in the spring of 1995. A native of Encinitas, Calif., Sullivan is married to the former Amanda Heavner of Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple has a daughter, Shaye (8) and a son, Cade (3).

In the classroom, Peterson was a three-time, first-team academic All-Big 12 selection, a six-time selection to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and finished her degree in business administration at Nebraska in 2003, when she served as an undergraduate assistant coach.

48│2010 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL

Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past three seasons. With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first three years as athletic director. In 2009-10, Nebraska finished 17th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup final standings, the Huskers’ best showing since 2000-01. One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with back-to-back nine-win seasons and a pair of Big 12 North Division titles in his first two years. In 2009, the Huskers notched 10 wins, including a 33-0 win over Arizona in the Holiday Bowl, while finishing in the top 15 in both major national polls. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed a pair of Big 12 titles and advanced to three NCAA Elite Eight appearances, while the women’s basketball program has earned two NCAA Tournament trips, while notching the best season in school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top 16 at three straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s track and field team has captured a pair of Big 12 outdoor crowns, while the men’s and women’s teams have produced five top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past three years. The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams both produced top-10 NCAA finishes in 2010, while the Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past three years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in the last three years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010. In addition to their competitive success, the Huskers have continued to set high standards academically at both the conference and national levels. Nebraska led the Big 12 with eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2009-10, increasing NU’s nation-leading total to 277 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 178 academic allconference selections, along with a conference-record 687 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 121 student-athletes from August of 2009 through May of 2010, while increasing its Big 12-leading exhausted eligibility graduation rate to 94 percent. The Huskers also have continued to set the standard on the national level in the area of life skills. In 2010-11, Nebraska will open its new Student Life Center, which is designed to help Husker student-athletes maximize their performance in the classroom and the community. The Student Life Center is the first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s athletic facilities. In the summer of 2010, the athletic department broke ground on the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which will directly benefit the men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling programs with new practice and team areas. The project is also expected to lead to additional opportunities for improved

facilities for many other Husker Olympic sport programs. The Hendricks Training Complex is scheduled to open before the 2011-12 season. In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Haymarket Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14. Not long after the historic vote in Lincoln, Osborne helped Chancellor Harvey Perlman announce an even more historic move with the shift by Nebraska from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011-12. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come. Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to NU as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season. In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998. Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-toback perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons. Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic AllAmericans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win backto-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION

Compliance Information/Guidelines for Fans The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big 12 Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA Principles

Institutional Control

It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

Responsibility

The University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.

Compliance

The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

Question and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests Definitions

Q: What is a booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What is a Prospective Student-Athlete? A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: What is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is a contact?

SEASON IN REVIEW

Making Strides: Huskers Overcome Slow Start;

Brooke Delano, Kayla Banwarth and the Huskers celebrate match point against No. 11 Minnesota at the Runza/AVCA Showcase in Omaha.

The journey taken by the 2009 Nebraska volleyball took may have been different than past teams, but the experience along the way made it more worthwhile. While the Huskers finished the season with a 26-7 record and reached the regional final, it was the commitment to the process that made Nebraska Coach John Cook burst with pride as he talked about his team one final time. While he was disappointed in the loss to Texas that kept Nebraska one match away from a fourth trip to the NCAA semifinals in five years, Cook said the strides the 2009 Huskers made from start to finish were more than any of his previous nine teams at NU. “If you look at where this team was in September to winning 31 sets in a row...this team has improved more than any team we’ve had at Nebraska,” Cook said following the Huskers’ final match of the season. “They’ve done everything we’ve asked, and we were able to get to a regional final.”

“Even though we lost this match, this team just got better,” Cook said. “Now, our team and our younger players have a better understanding of what it’s going to take to win a regional final and the things that we have to get better at.” Two of the reasons for Nebraska’s improvement were the play of co-captains Kori Cooper and Sydney Anderson, who were instrumental in helping the Huskers win 10 of their final 11 matches, including four wins over NCAA regional qualifiers. Cooper, who overcame a torn ACL that ended her junior season, returned to the lineup and was a stabilizing force in the middle. After seeing limited duty in Nebraska’s first 10 contests, she ended up averaging a career-best 2.49 kills per set and led the Big 12 with a .372 hitting percentage on her way to earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Cooper was even better in league play, hitting .400 and chipping in 2.63 kills per set. Cooper, who started on Nebraska’s NCAA title-winning

Nebraska extended its NCAA record sellout streak to 135 matches in 2009. The sellout streak is the longest streak in women’s college athletics covering any sport.

team in 2006 and provided inspiration for the Huskers’ NCAA Semifinal run two years later, received one lasting memory as she left the court one final time at the Qwest Center, as the crowd of nearly 10,000 saluted the senior with a standing ovation that brought her to tears. “This is the best crowd in college volleyball for me, and I feel like I’m the luckiest senior in the country, regardless of how this season ended,” Cooper, a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American said. “I wouldn’t change a thing about playing for this crowd and about playing for this program.” Anderson said that Cooper’s comeback inspired the whole team throughout the year. “She’s been a great captain, great friend and leader,” Anderson said. “She brings fire and belief into those that don’t. If you look at what she’s gone through these four years - two torn ACLs, two surgeries - and she’s bounced back and she’s been amazing.” While Cooper’s graduation leaves a significant void, Anderson’s poise and leadership down the stretch helped the Huskers unlock their potential. The junior earned All-America honors for the second straight season, dishing out 11.53 assists per set in helping Nebraska feature an attack with five players averaging 2.25 kills per set. Anderson became only the eighth Husker setter to earn two All-America certificates, finishing with 14 double-doubles while averaging 2.45 digs and 0.77 kills on the year. Anderson said she was proud of her teammates who fought through the early adversity. She also said the loss in the regional final was a starting point for 2010. “This team is really excited. We all hate this feeling, so we don’t want to feel it again,” Anderson said. “Look at where we were in September and look at us now. We’ve gotten better, and we’re still going to get better. I am so proud of this team and how they maxed out this season.”

SEASON IN REVIEW

Advance to Sixth Straight Regional Final The return of Anderson and fellow seniors-to-be Kayla Banwarth, Lindsey Licht and Tara Mueller give the Huskers veteran leadership for the future. Banwarth enjoyed a breakout season in 2009, ranking second in the Big 12 with 4.96 digs per set to earn honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors. She had four matches with at least 25 digs, including a career-high 32 against Minnesota in the Runza/AVCA Showcase. She finished 10 digs shy of Nebraska’s single-season record. Licht was fully healthy after offseason surgeries on both feet and her right elbow, and became one of the Huskers’ most consistent players. Licht, who averaged 2.83 kills and 0.93 blocks on the year, keyed Nebraska’s secondhalf surge. The 6-foot-5 lefty hit .350 and averaged 3.32 kills per set over the Huskers’ final 14 matches and was a major factor in Nebraska going 12-2 down the stretch. Mueller was a solid all-around performer who averaged 2.97 kills, 2.49 digs and 0.28 service aces per set as a starter at outside hitter. She became one of the Huskers’ primary passers, and her all-around game helped stabilize a lineup that featured a pair of first-year starters. It didn’t take long to figure out that the 2009 ride would be far from smooth sailing. Nebraska dropped its season opener to Michigan in the AVCA Showcase, before rebounding the next night with a five-set win over Minnesota. NU won seven straight matches before UCLA snapped the Huskers’ 90-match home win streak three weeks later. Two weeks later, the Huskers stood at 2-2 in the league heading into a crucial road match at Oklahoma. The Huskers found a spark in freshman Hannah Werth, who had five of her then-career high 17 kills in the decisive fifth set, as Nebraska fought off a hostile crowd and an emotional effort by the Sooners. “All season, we’ve been talking about pulling together and doing what we know how to do,” Werth said. “Tonight, we finally did it.” The OU match was Werth’s coming out party as she became one of Nebraska’s go-to performers. Werth eventually earned Big 12 Freshman-of-the-Year honors, averaging a team-high 3.18 kills and 3.07 digs per set. She topped the Huskers in kills 13 times and was second on the team with 13 double-doubles. Another first-year starter who emerged was sophomore Brooke Delano. The middle blocker turned in a dominant campaign, averaging 2.34 kills and a teambest 1.09 blocks per set to earn second-team All-America honors. Delano ranked fifth in the Big 12 in both hitting percentage and blocks. She established a career high with 14 kills in the win over Oklahoma, helping NU begin a fivematch win streak. The Huskers faced some more adversity in late October, dropping a five-set match to Iowa State before a setback to Texas two weeks later dropped the Huskers to 16-6 heading into the final month of the season. “Those matches were a great wake-up call for our players because they realized that the Big 12 was getting tougher,” Cook said. “Even though those matches hurt at the time, it may have been the best thing to happen to this team because they saw the mentality we needed to have to be successful.” After the Texas match, Cook challenged his team to keep improving with the hope that the Huskers’ best volleyball was still to come. He told his team that this would be a “November to Remember.” “The message being sent is there’s no backing off,” Cook said. “It’s about getting better and heading in hot going into the NCAA Tournament.”

AVCA Division I Coaches Poll

Sydney Anderson earned first-team All-Big 12 honors at setter for the second straight season in 2009.

The Huskers took the message to heart, opening the month with their best offensive performance of the season in a sweep of Missouri, before heading to Ames, Iowa, for a showdown with No. 9 Iowa State. The Huskers put together a masterful performance, hitting .327 against the league’s top defense to become the first team in 33 matches to hit .300 or better against the Cyclones. The Huskers showed their maturity in the finale, overcoming a 20-18 deficit in front of a sellout crowd of 10,203 at Hilton Coliseum to complete a 25-16, 25-22, 25-23 sweep. “This was an opportunity for us to take a big step forward,” Cook said following the win, “and they certainly did that tonight.” The Huskers continued to ride the momentum, finishing the regular season with five more sweeps to take a seven-match win streak into the postseason. It marked the first time Nebraska had ever swept through the month of November and gave the Big Red the confidence it needed heading into the postseason. After opening the NCAA Tournament with a sweep of Coastal Carolina, the Huskers took on a Northern Iowa team that was riding a 29-match win streak. Nebraska’s outside hitters shined, as Werth finished with 13 kills while also setting career bests in hitting percentage (.476) and blocks (four) while Mueller added 12 kills in the win. Freshman Gina Mancuso also proved to be a differencemaker with three kills and two aces while running off several strings of points with her serve. With the win, the Huskers advanced to their 16th consecutive regional, where they saw a trio of familiar faces in Texas, Iowa State and Texas A&M. Nebraska took the drama out of the regional semifinal, holding No. 5 Iowa State to a season-low .096 hitting in a 25-11, 25-19, 25-22 rout. Licht led a balanced attack with 10 kills, as four Huskers totaled at least nine kills in the sweep to set up a matchup with Texas for a spot in the NCAA semifinals. “I thought (we) did one of the best jobs that I’ve ever seen of following a game plan,” Cook said after NU reached a regional final for the sixth straight year.

HISTORY

NU Volleyball: A Championship Tradition

Nebraska’s club volleyball program in the early 1970s set the foundation for the Huskers’ early successes.

by Mike Babcock A bulletin advertising an opening for the head volleyball coach’s job at Nebraska had been discarded in a wastebasket in the coaches’ office at Louisburg College. Paul Sanderford, the first-year head coach of the women’s basketball team at the North Carolina junior college, retrieved the bulletin from the wastebasket and handed it to Terry Pettit, the school’s head volleyball coach. Without that assist from Sanderford, Pettit, an aspiring English teacher with a background in creative writing and poetry as well as coaching, would not have known about the opening. If he had not known about the opening, he would not have applied. And if he had not applied and been hired, the history of Husker volleyball would have been altered dramatically, because he and Husker volleyball became one and the same. Pettit was the Nebraska volleyball coach from 1977 to 1999 – all but two years of the program’s first 25 years of existence. Pat Sullivan, the Huskers’ first volleyball coach, compiled an 83-21 record in two seasons of competition sanctioned by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Before 1975, Nebraska didn’t sponsor women’s athletic teams. If women wanted to compete, they did so on loosely organized and unfunded club teams. It had been that way since the early 1900s, when a women’s basketball team occasionally competed against teams from outside the University. Basketball was introduced in the university’s physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896, and as was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other. Nebraska’s first All-University women’s team was organized in 1896 and included the best players regardless of class, according to the Nebraska State Journal. The team never lost, which should not be surprising, given how it was chosen and the quality of its intramural competition. The first women’s basketball game played before an audience was part of the University’s sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke’s “Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,” published in Nebraska History in the spring of 1975. Louise Pound seems to have been the driving force in women’s basketball at Nebraska, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was captain of the first team to play against an opponent from outside the University in March of 1898. Pound, who also was the first

All-University tennis champion, scored 11 points in a 15-7 victory against a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa. In April of 1901, the university sponsored a women’s state tournament under Pound’s direction at Grant Memorial Hall. Nebraska was represented by an A team and a B team in a field that included teams from the Omaha YWCA, Lincoln High School and Wahoo High School. Nebraska’s A team won the two-day competition and a month later won a rematch with the Omaha YWCA in Omaha. In November of 1901, Nebraska played a team from the University of Missouri at Grant Hall, “the first intercollegiate match for girls ever played in the west,” according to the Nebraska State Journal. Missouri was no match for its more experienced — and to that point undefeated — opponent, losing 31-4. The Nebraska women did not suffer their first defeat until 1904, when they lost to a team from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis after opening an abbreviated schedule by shutting out a team from the Lincoln YWCA. The Nebraska women avenged the Minnesota loss two weeks later in Lincoln. The Nebraska women played games against the University of Minnesota, home-and-home two weeks apart, again in March of 1908, losing both, the second after a five-minute overtime.

Before the Minnesota games, Nebraska had defeated Nebraska Wesleyan to finish what was to be its final season with a 1-2 record against outside competition. University women were not allowed to compete in basketball, as well as other sports, only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908. In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the University board of regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. If not for the passing of Title IX by Congress in 1972, there probably would not be women’s intercollegiate athletics now. Initially, “there wasn’t an embracing of women’s athletics,” Pettit said. “It’s like any civil rights movement almost. It’s tolerated, and you have to educate the public as to what it means. Today if you asked on a ballot if women should have the opportunity to compete in sports, there would be an overwhelming majority of people who would support it. But that wasn’t the case in the 1970s. “One of the things that allowed Nebraska to be successful was that we jumped in with both feet,” Pettit said. “Nebraska decided: ‘Well, if we’re going to do this, let’s do it well.’ Whereas some schools were hesitant to get going, Nebraska was one of the first to offer scholarships. In any endeavor, if you’re among the first, that gives you a tremendous advantage, and you continue to reap the benefits years later.” Under Pettit’s direction, volleyball became to Husker women’s athletics what football is to the Nebraska men’s program. Pettit’s teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament semifinals six times, and his 1995 team won the national championship, defeating Texas in the finals at Amherst, Mass. The 1995 Huskers finished 32-1, with their only loss coming against Stanford in the second match of the season. Senior Allison Weston was the AVCA Co-Player of the Year and among three first-team All-Americans from Nebraska. The others were Christy Johnson and Lisa Reitsma. Weston, a middle blocker, earned first-team AllAmerica honors three times, the first Husker to do so. But Nebraska consistently has been represented on All-America teams since 1980, when Terri Kanouse became the Huskers’ first volleyball All-American, as selected by the AIAW. Three Huskers have earned All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association in the same

The first Husker volleyball team, coached by Pat Sullivan (far right, second row), set the tone for future teams, compiling a 34-8 record and advancing to the AIAW regional finals in 1975.

season 15 times since 1984, most recently in 2008, when Jordan Larson, Sydney Anderson and Tara Mueller – captured All-America honors. After the 1999 season, Pettit turned the program over to his long-time friend and former NU assistant coach, John Cook. Cook arrived at Nebraska with impressive credentials after building the Wisconsin volleyball program into a national power, and he wasted no time making his mark at NU. In what was supposed to be a transition year, Cook led the Huskers to a perfect 34-0 record and the 2000 NCAA title. The following season, Cook again guided the Huskers to the NCAA semifinals, where they lost to eventual national champion Stanford. After two regional finals and a regional semifinal, the Huskers returned to the national title match in 2005 and won the school’s third NCAA title in 2006, defeating Stanford, 3-1, in front of a then-NCAA record crowd of 17,209 at the Qwest Center. In 10 years, Cook has guided Nebraska to a 307-26 record, a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances and eight Big 12 championships. Nebraska is an amazing 188-12 against Big 12 teams in that stretch. The tradition that Cook continues to build began in 1978, when Kanouse and Shandi Pettine were the first Nebraska volleyball players to be recruited with full scholarships. By 1981, Pettit could award 12 scholarships. “We had a full complement,” he said. “And that put us ahead of some schools.” Those first Nebraska teams included primarily in-state athletes. But Kanouse was from Indiana and Pettine was from Colorado, evidence not only of Pettit’s interest in expanding the Huskers’ recruiting base, but also of the respect his program was earning beyond the state’s borders. Fiona Nepo, one of only 12 setters in NCAA history to earn All-America certificates three times came from Honolulu, Hawaii. Karen Dahlgren, an All-American in 1985 and 1986, and Lynae Loseke, whose career was cut short by a knee injury, walked on, another element of the volleyball program’s consistent success shared by the football program. “We don’t have 50 walk-ons, but if we can get one good one a year, it pays off,” Pettit said. The 1981 and 1982 recruits, which included Cathy Noth (from Iowa) and Mary Buysse (from Minnesota), gave the Huskers “two really good classes in a row,” Pettit said. And, except for Dahlgren, who redshirted, they helped get Nebraska into the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The Huskers had qualified for the AIAW National Tournament in 1978 at Tuscaloosa, Ala., but “there was no

excitement because nobody here got to see the matches,” Pettit said. That changed in 1982, when Nebraska defeated a Penn State team coached by Russ Rose (Pettit’s assistant in 1978 and 1979) in the NCAA Tournament’s first round before a large and enthusiastic crowd at the NU Coliseum. “That was a dramatic step for the program,” Pettit said. “It was the first time we really had an opportunity to market something. I don’t think anything changes the perception of an athletic program like hosting an NCAA event. From then on, we were always playing, always hosting.” The Huskers have qualified for 28 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, which “may be our biggest achievement is the consistency. We’re always very competitive,” Pettit said. Nebraska reached the NCAA finals for the first time in 1986, Dahlgren’s senior season, defeating Stanford in the semifinals but losing to Pacific on its home court in Stockton, Calif. Three seasons later, the persistent Huskers were back in the NCAA title match, losing to Long Beach State (after defeating top-ranked UCLA) at Honolulu, Hawaii. Pettit realized then that his program had progressed to a point where winning the national championship was a realistic goal. Several other factors contributed to the success of the Nebraska volleyball program, including the Coliseum, which was refurbished and reconfigured specifically as a volleyball facility in 1992.

The intimacy of the Coliseum is a significant factor in fan support, which has kept Nebraska among the nation’s leaders in attendance, annually ranking in the top three nationally, including second in 2009. Nebraska has sold out its last 135 straight matches at the 4,030-seat Coliseum, dating back to 2001. In addition, the Huskers annually play a match at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska set an NCAA regularseason attendance record on Sept. 11, 2009, as a sellout crowd of 13,870 watched the Huskers take on UCLA. Nebraska’s fans have consistently shattered volleyball attendance records. In 2008, Nebraska drew an NCAA record crowd of 17,430 for the NCAA semifinals at the Qwest Center. The four largest crowds at the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship have been set in Omaha. While the Huskers have played in several venues across the state, the Coliseum is Nebraska’s home. “I believe it is a major reason for interest. People like the building. They like watching events here,” Pettit said. “It’s an intimate facility. It’s a collegiate facility. You walk into the big fieldhouses, and you could be anywhere in the country.” Fans also know what to expect from the Husker teams that play there. “They know what type of effort they’re going to see,” Pettit said. “The fans are only 10 or 15 feet removed from the playing court, so they can tell whether or not there’s enthusiasm, whether or not people (the athletes) are communicating. That’s what they really come to see. It certainly helps that Nebraska wins. The winning gets you there the first time. But you can’t have a great enterprise, whether it be a business or an athletic team, unless you have an identity. “People have that feeling about Nebraska volleyball. They know exactly what it is. They know what type of athlete is on the court. They know the style of play. They know the effort. They know the consistency. They know that she’s a good student. And they know that she’s a solid citizen when she goes on to her career after volleyball.” The attraction wasn’t immediate. Though the program has been successful from the beginning, it experienced some lean times as far as interest and support. “It’s been a slow, consistent growth,” Pettit said. “I think that fits Nebraskans. They aren’t real impressed with flash or something that just happens in the short term. What they want to see is progress over the long run. ‘Show me that you’ll continue to get the job done.’ If you do that, then they’ll ride with you even when things aren’t so good.”

The Huskers celebrate match point against Wisconsin to win the 2000 NCAA title. Nebraska went 34-0 to earn its second national title.

A Magical Season

Nebraska enjoyed a storybook season in 2006, putting together a 33-1 record en route to the school’s third national title. Despite the loss of AVCA National Player of the Year Christina Houghtelling before the start of preseason practice and a lineup that featured three new starters, the Huskers won their first 23 matches, including 18 sweeps, before suffering their only loss of the year. The Huskers rebounded by losing just one game over the next seven matches before running into their toughest test of the postseason. One game away from the national semifinals in Omaha, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to topple Minnesota and win a regional for the first time outside the state in school history. That win set the stage for one of the biggest volleyball events in history, as the Huskers played for a chance at a national title in front of sold-out crowds of 17,000-plus at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

Semifinals

Nebraska used a career night from Tracy Stalls to advance to the finals with a 3-1 victory over fourth-ranked UCLA. Stalls totaled a career-high 17 kills on .577 hitting, out-shining UCLA All-American Nana Meriwether, who was held to 12 kills and a season-low .190 hitting. The Huskers dropped the opener and trailed 28-26 before a Pavan kill pulled NU within a point. Stalls then closed out the game with three straight points from the service line, tying the match at one. Nebraska took control of the third game behind the strong serving of Pavan, who ran off nine straight points at the service line including three aces that turned a 13-all game into a 23-13 cushion. Stalls had seven kills in each of the final two games. While Pavan finished with a match-high 22 kills, the Husker defense held UCLA in check behind 29 digs from Dani Busboom and 25 from Jordan Larson, as both enjoyed career bests in digs against the Bruins.

Larson’s 19th kill of the night closed out the match after the Cardinal pulled within 29-27. NU had four players total at least 10 kills, as Mancuso finished a dream season with 12 kills in her hometown.

Highlighting the 2006 Season

• The Huskers led the country in both kills (17.40) and assists (16.20) per game, the first time Nebraska had led the country in either category. • Nebraska set school records for kills per game, assists per game and block assists (823). • Nebraska became the third team in NCAA history to lead the AVCA poll the entire season, joining UCLA (1992) and USC (2003), and the first team to win a national title while hosting since UCLA in 1991. • Sarah Pavan became the first Husker athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup - symbolic of the top female athlete in college athletics. Pavan also became the first Big 12 studentathlete to win the award since the league’s inception in 1996.

Quoting Coach John Cook

“This team maxed out to their abilities. They really never wavered the entire year, and they embraced it if they did. To win this here in Nebraska, with this group of people and overcoming the obstacles to get here and dealing with this pressure, it has to be No. 1. ” – Cook following the national title match

Final

The Huskers followed a similar script as the semifinals, dropping the opening game before regrouping. Trailing 24-23 in game two, the Huskers seized the momentum with three straight points, highlighted by a Dani Mancuso kill that gave NU a 25-24 lead. In game three, another unlikely hero emerged to spark a Husker comeback. Trailing 23-19, Amanda Gates came off the bench and sparked NU with two big blocks, the second of which put the Huskers up 29-28. In the finale, the Huskers rode the arm of Sarah Pavan, who had six of her match-high 22 kills, before Jordan

Middle blocker Tracy Stalls had a career-high 17 kills on .577 hitting and four blocks in NU’s NCAA semifinal win over UCLA.

Nebraska shattered NCAA single-match and all-session records at the 2006 NCAA Championships in Omaha, drawing 34,222 for the two matches, including a then-NCAA record crowd of 17,209 for the title match against Stanford. At the time, that was the largest crowd to ever see a volleyball match in the United States.

Jordan Larson slams home match point, giving the Huskers their third NCAA title. Larson finished the NCAA title match against the Cardinal with 19 kills on .378 hitting and 15 digs.

2000 National Champion Huskers - (Back row from left): Lindsay Wischmeier, Pam Krejci, Kim Behrends, Amber Holmquist, Jenny Kropp, Jill McWilliams, Jenae Dowling. (Front row from left): Rachel Baumstark, Laura Pilakowski, Angie Oxley, Greichaly Cepero, Nancy Metcalf (Meendering), Anna Schrad, Sara Westling.

Mission Accomplished

Nebraska entered the 2000 season with a No. 11 preseason ranking and an eagerness to prove the pollsters wrong. Competing with a new coach, a new setter and without two-time All-American Nancy Metcalf (Meendering) didn’t scare the Huskers. A trio of sophomore All-Americans, including AVCA Player-of-the-Year Greichaly Cepero, emerged to lead NU to a 34-0 record and the program’s second national title. With a 3-2 win over Wisconsin Dec. 15 in the championship final, the Huskers became just the second team in NCAA history to finish a season undefeated. First-year Head Coach John Cook earned AVCA Coach-of-the-Year honors.

Semifinals

In the first match, Nebraska relied on its greatest strength - its block - to stifle Hawaii at the net in a 3-1 victory. The Huskers outblocked the Rainbow Wahine 23-7.5, as Jenny Kropp and Amber Holmquist each tallied 10 block assists. With the win, the Huskers broke the school record for consecutive victories in the modern era of five-game matches.

A Second Time

After a two-year hiatus, Nebraska seniors Virginia Stahr and Carla Baker led NU to its second appearance at the NCAA Championships. In 1986, the Huskers had advanced to the championship match before losing to Pacific. In 1989, NU was hoping for better luck in Honolulu, Hawaii. But fate was not on Nebraska’s side. The Husker hitters made quick work of UCLA, before losing, 3-0, to Long Beach State.

NCAA Championships

A balanced Husker attack and solid

defensive play propelled Nebraska past a UCLA team that had lost just two matches all season. Cris Hall led NU with 19 kills, while Janet Kruse had 12, Eileen Shannon had 11 and Virginia Stahr added 10. NU out-hit UCLA .265 to .160. Unfortunately, Nebraska’s second championship match was much like its first in 1986. Nebraska battled hard in the first game, only to lose 15-12. From that point on, the Huskers could not regain their winning ways, as Long Beach State cruised, 15-0, 15-6 to win the match. Shannon led Nebraska with 11 kills, and Hall added 10.

NCAA Championships

In the semifinals, Schonewise led the

Husker attack with 15 kills, while Angie Millikin had 11 kills and a match-high 18 digs. Nebraska hit .258 for the match and held the Cardinal to just .089 hitting. In the championship match, Nebraska met a Pacific team that had lost just one game during the entire NCAA Tournament. The Huskers hung tough in game one, coming back from a 14-9 deficit to cut the margin to two at 14-12. But the Tigers were too much, as they converted their third game point for the 15-12 win.

NEBRASKA

here is No Place Like Nebraska . . . and there is no experience like Nebraska volleyball.

For more than three decades, Nebraska volleyball has set the standard of excellence in the sport. From sold-out Coliseum crowds and media exposure to academic and athletic success, the Husker program is at the forefront of the sport. Nebraska volleyball players are achievers, as the Husker program leads the nation in both All-Americans (67) and CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (36). Four players have been named national player of the year, while Sarah Pavan became the first Nebraska student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup in June of 2007, symbolizing the top female student-athlete in the country. If there is one image symbolic of the Nebraska volleyball program, it is the statue of “The Players,” which is at the main entrance of the NU Coliseum. AVCA Hall of Fame Coach Terry Pettit said it best when the statue was unveiled in 1992. “I believe that as you enter the Coliseum for the first time and look upon the three players - each intense, focused and committed to the task - it will occur to you, as it occurs to me, that something important happens here. Something beyond individual honors or accomplishments. Something more important than the individuals themselves. This statue says, ‘This is where women come to compete.’”

VOLLEYBALL A Tradition of Success Nebraska has earned 28 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and owns a 1,086-195-1 all-time record. The Huskers have won 30-or-more matches 20 times, including eight of the last 10 years under Coach John Cook.

Husker All-Americans Nebraska leads the nation in AVCA All-Americans, producing 32 studentathletes who have combined for 67 All-America certificates. Nebraska is second nationally with 37 first-team All-America awards. The Huskers had two AVCA All-Americans in 2009, including second-team selection Brooke Delano and third-team honoree Sydney Anderson. Nebraska has had at least one All-American every season since 1983, a total of 28 straight seasons, including 32 in Coach John Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 seasons.

Olympians The Husker volleyball team has produced three U.S. Olympians: Lori Endicott (1992 and 1996); Allison Weston (2000) and Nancy Metcalf (2004).

Poll Leaders Nebraska is one of only two programs nationally to be ranked in all 400 AVCA Coaches Polls since 1982. Nebraska has been ranked in the top 10 in 366 of 400 weeks all-time and in the last 97 polls dating back to the start of the 2004 season.

Academic Traditions Nebraska volleyball is also unmatched in the classroom. The Huskers have combined for a nation-leading 36 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. In 2009, Kori Cooper became a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, as she was a first-team selection for the second straight year. Nebraska has had 10 academic All-Americans over the past five seasons. In 2007, Sarah Pavan was chosen the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year not only in college volleyball, but for all of Division I athletics for the second straight year, becoming the only college student-athlete to accomplish the feat. In addition, Husker volleyball players have earned four NCAA Top Eight Awards, seven CoSIDA Academic All-American-of-the-Year awards and seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, most recently with Amanda Gates in the spring of 2009.

1995 NCAA Champions The 1995 Nebraska volleyball team rebounded from a setback to Stanford in its second match of the season to reel off 31 consecutive wins, including a 3-1 win over Texas to claim the program’s first national title. An amazing 28 of Nebraska’s 32 victories were 3-0 wins. The Huskers posted school records for wins and winning percentage that stood until 2000. Three NU players were named AVCA All-Americans, including AVCA Co-National Player-of-the-Year Allison Weston.

2000 NCAA Champions The 2000 Nebraska volleyball team produced one of the best seasons in NCAA history, culminating with the program’s second national championship with a 3-2 victory over Wisconsin. Ranked sixth and 11th in the preseason polls, the young Huskers finished the season with a 34-0 record and became just the second team in NCAA history to go undefeated and win a national title. First-year Coach John Cook was named the AVCA Coach of the Year, and first-year setter Greichaly Cepero earned AVCA National Player-of-theYear honors.

2006 NCAA Champions The 2006 Nebraska volleyball team was dominant from start to finish, going 33-1 en route to winning the school’s third national title.

The Huskers swept 24 of 34 matches and were a perfect 12-0 against nationally ranked teams. The Huskers capped the season with wins over fourth-ranked UCLA and second-ranked Stanford at the NCAA Championship in front of sold-out crowds at Qwest Center Omaha. Four players earned AVCA All-America honors, including AVCA National Player-of-the-Year Sarah Pavan.

NEBRASKA COLISEUM

“It’s the greatest place to play volleyball in the country, probably the world. It’s very overwhelming and awe-inspiring. To walk onto that floor and hear that crowd is something I’ll never forget.”

- U.S. Olympian Allison Weston

At the Nebraska Coliseum, volleyball is not just a game, it’s an event. Some of the things you’ll experience at an NU volleyball match include: Fans chanting “Husker Power” at deafening levels, Lil’ Red entertaining children, the Tunnel Walk whipping the crowd into a frenzy as the Huskers take the court, and autograph seekers swarming players after each match. The Nebraska Coliseum has been the home of Husker volleyball since the program began in 1975. The Huskers carry a streak of 135 straight sellouts at the NU Coliseum into the 2010 season. Nebraska annually ranks among the national leaders in attendance. In 2009, the Huskers finished second in the nation in attendance, drawing 93,554 fans in 18 matches for an average of 5,197 per contest. The Huskers have ranked in the top three nationally in attendance every year in the last two decades. Composed of some of the most dedicated fans in the nation, The Match Club is the official booster club of the Nebraska volleyball team. Following the team to all parts of the country, The Match Club sells a variety of Husker volleyball merchandise at each match, including chairbacks and T-shirts.

Facilities

The home of Nebraska volleyball since the program’s earliest days, the 4,030-seat NU Coliseum is one of the top venues in all of college athletics. Set in the center of the University of Nebraska campus, the Coliseum has been used as a home court for Husker Athletics since the 1920s, serving as the home of the men’s basketball program until the mid1970s. The volleyball team has called the Coliseum home since the program’s inception in 1975, and the building was redesigned specifically for volleyball in 1992. Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s attendance leaders for the last two decades and has sold out 135 consecutive matches dating back to the 2001 season. The Coliseum features many amenities for the volleyball program, including medical facilities as well as a players lounge with study area and a team locker room. Top right: The Huskers have their own team room inside the Nebraska Coliseum, which includes dedicated study areas, a locker room and places to relax. Lower right: The coaches offices at the NU Coliseum were renovated in 2007, and a display area was set up to highlight the Huskers’ national championships. Opposite page: The NU Coliseum columns are a landmark on the University of Nebraska campus. The Coliseum was built in 1925 at a cost of $350,000.

Defensive Dominance

Under Coach John Cook, Nebraska’s middle blockers have annually been one of the nation’s top units. Over the last 10 seasons, the Huskers have led the nation in blocks five times, including both 2005 and 2006. With Cook at the helm, Nebraska middle blockers have combined for 10 AVCA AllAmerica certificates and have won national individual blocking titles on three occasions.

Outside Hitters

All-Around Excellence

For college volleyball fans, Nebraska’s outside hitters have become household names. Players such as Sarah Pavan, Jordan Larson, Christina Houghtelling, Jennifer Saleaumua, Nancy Metcalf, Laura Pilakowski, Tara Mueller and Lisa Reitsma have dominated the college landscape for the last decade. In the Big 12 era, outside hitters have flourished in Nebraska’s diversified attack. A total of 21 All-America certificates have been earned by Husker outside hitters since 1996, including AVCA National Players of the Year Christina Houghtelling (2005) and Sarah Pavan (2006). In 2008, Jordan Larson became the first player in Big 12 history to be named Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. Larson, a two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, is one of three Husker outside hitters to win the award since its inception in 2004, joining Jennifer Saleuamua (2004-05) and Christina Houghtelling (2007).

Retired

Jerseys Six former Husker volleyball players have received the highest honor the Nebraska program can bestow, a retired jersey at the Nebraska Coliseum. Karen Dahlgren, Lori Endicott, Cathy Noth and Allison Weston received a permanent place in the NU Coliseum during the 2003 season, as a Wall of Honor was created to highlight the accomplishments of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most outstanding student-athletes. Since then, there have been two additions to the wall. In 2004, Janet Kruse was honored for her academic and athletic achievements at Nebraska with her jersey retirement. Stephanie Thater became the most recent honoree, as the three-time All-American returned to campus to become the sixth jersey retired in school history in August of 2008.

BUILDING THE ALL-AROUND VOLLEYBALL PLAYER The University of Nebraska volleyball strength and conditioning coach is dedicated to making each student-athlete the best allaround volleyball player they can become. The goal of the strength coach is to help the volleyball player reach her full potential on the court. With the year-round lifting and conditioning program, we strive to reduce injuries and at the same time increase performance.

STRENGTH STAFF

Laura (Pilakowski) Buttermore is in her seventh year as head strength coach for the volleyball program. A former All-American volleyball player, Buttermore understands how to develop a strength and conditioning program for elite volleyball players. The strength and conditioning programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to produce strength, speed, power, and discipline. Making sure the student- Head volleyball strength coach Laura Buttermore athletes are strong, healthy, and competitive was a two-time All-American at Nebraska and is the number one priority. Another goal shared Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors in 2002. is to build team dynamics, leadership and mental toughness through different conditioning drills.

TRAINING FOR VOLLEYBALL Weight Training

The weight lifting program consists of both strength and explosive exercises that focus on ground-based and multi-joint movements. Off-season lifting consists of four days a week of lifting with two days of explosive training and two days of strength training. In-season lifting is two days a week focusing on total body movements.

Plyometric and Agility Training

It is important to condition like a volleyball player. Volleyball is a game that requires agility and explosiveness on a consistent basis. It is important to follow this pattern when performing conditioning drills, as plyometric exercises are specialized, high-intensity training techniques used to develop athletic power.

Conditioning

Volleyball is a quick paced game of short bursts requiring you to change directions both laterally and vertically. You also need to develop volleyball endurance when going five sets. The conditioning consists of plyometric, agility, speed and endurance training. Plyometric training is used to increase verticals and also to work on landings to reduce injuries. As a volleyball player you also need to be able to change direction quickly and get to top speed as quickly as possible.

Flexibility

Flexibility is another important component to the overall volleyball program. It is worked on throughout the year during conditioning sessions and practice. Yoga is also used during the season to increase performance and reduce injury.

The Injured Athlete

We have constant communication with the Athletic Medicine Staff in order to plan a successful training program to get the athlete promptly and safely back to competition.

ACADEMIC

SUCCESS

The success of Nebraska student-athletes reaches far beyond athletic competition. More Husker student-athletes have been selected to CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica teams than any other school in the nation, as Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions. The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 98 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The NU volleyball progam has captured more academic All-America awards (37) than any other women’s team in the nation, while the Husker softball program ranks second on that list with 27 selections. In addition to individual academic recognition, NU has led the Big 12 in graduation rates in 10 of the conference’s first 14 years.

Huskers Expand Academic Tradition in 2009-10

Husker student-athletes produced another stellar year at the University of Nebraska, continuing NU’s tradition of academic success. Nebraska increased its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports to 277 with a Big 12-leading eight honorees in 2009-10, while also setting conference records with 178 academic All-Big 12 selections and 687 selections to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll during the year. Nebraska Female Student-Athlete of the Year Kelsey Griffin, the first Husker in history to win the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in any sport, capped a stellar career by earning a $7,500 Dr. Prentice Gautt Big 12 Postgraduate Scholarship. A unanimous first-team All-American and the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, Griffin powered the Nebraska women’s basketball team to the Big 12 regular-season title, which included the only unbeaten regular season in conference history at 29-0. Craig Brester claimed NU’s Male Student-Athlete-of-the-Year honor, while joining Griffin as a recipient of a Big 12 Postgraduate Scholarship. Brester, a threetime wrestling All-American, closed his career with a 109-21 record , including two NCAA runner-up finishes. Husker volleyball star Kori Cooper, a two-time honorable-mention All-American on the court, became NU’s 60th two-time academic All-American by earning first-team honors in 2009. Joining Cooper as a first-team CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican in 2009-10 was Nebraska baseball centerfielder D.J. Belfonte and Nicholas Gordon, the 2009 NCAA indoor long jump champion and three-time All-American. Across all sports, Nebraska student-athletes claimed a Big 12-leading 178 academic All-Big 12 selections, including an astounding 152 first-team academic All-Big 12 honorees. The Huskers had 24 more first-team selections than any other Big 12 school had selected to both the first and second teams. Over the past two years, Nebraska has claimed 350 academic All-Big 12 certificates across all sports, while no other Big 12 school has accumulated 250 honors. NU studentathletes also earned a record-setting 687 spots on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall and Spring Academic Honor Rolls. The hard work, dedication and commitment of Nebraska’s student-athletes in the classroom resulted in 121 current or former student-athletes earning degrees from August of 2009 through May of 2010. The Huskers continued to set the graduation standard among Big 12 Conference schools by increasing their Exhausted Eligibility Graduation Rate to 94 percent. Each spring Nebraska hosts an Academic Awards Banquet to honor studentathletes who have earned either a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA or have earned a 3.0 or higher GPA in the previous calendar year. Last spring, 278 student-athletes were honored.

If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.
