HUSKERS.COM THE BOB DEVANEY SPORTS CENTER The Nebraska volleyball program enters its second season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2014. The Huskers’ first season in the renovated facility was a tremendous success, as Nebraska averaged an NCAA-record 8,175 fans per match in 2013. Despite nearly doubling the capacity from the NU Coliseum, the Huskers sold out every match at the Devaney Center last season. NU has sold out 201 consecutive home matches entering this season. The Huskers’ sellout streak dates back to 2001 and is the longest streak in the history of NCAA women’s athletics.

INTRODUCTION
The home of Nebraska Volleyball
The Nebraska volleyball program begins its second season calling the Bob Devaney Sports Center home in 2014. In its inaugural season in the redesigned arena, the Huskers posted a 16-3 record. NU sold out every match in 2013 - stretching its sellout streak to 200 consecutive matches - while leading the nation with an average attendance of 8,175 fans per match, an NCAA record.
The Nebraska volleyball program opened a new era in its storied tradition in 2013 by moving into a new permanent home court for the first time in almost 40 years. When Nebraska played its preseason Red-White Match on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013, the Bob Devaney Sports Center became the official home of Husker volleyball. The Devaney Center, which received $20 million in renovations designed to create the nation’s premier home court advantage for volleyball, allowed nearly 4,000 more Nebraska fans per match to watch their beloved Huskers. Despite nearly doubling the capacity from the historic NU Coliseum, Nebraska carried over its sellout streak to its new home. The Huskers enter the 2014 season having sold out 200 consecutive matches, the longest home sellout streak in the history of any NCAA women’s sport. The fan support will continue this fall, as NU sold out of season tickets. Not only did the Huskers quickly sell out the 7,907-seat capacity, they also have room for nearly 400 standing-room seats at each match and a season-ticket waiting list of well over 1,000. During the last two decades, Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s top three volleyball programs in average home attendance every season. The move to the Devaney Center allowed Nebraska to dethrone perennial attendance champion Hawaii. The Huskers averaged 8,175 fans per match in their first year in the Devaney Center, becoming the nation’s attendance leader for the first time in more than two decades. Although the old configuration of the Devaney Center served as the full-time home for Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball from its opening in 1976 until the completion of the 2012-13 season, Husker volleyball enters its second full-time season at the renovated Devaney Center with a long history of success in the arena named after Nebraska’s Hall of Fame Coach and Athletic Director. The Huskers have regularly played at least one match per season in the Devaney Center over the last 22 years, including the entire 1991 home volleyball schedule while the NU Coliseum was being renovated. Overall, Nebraska carries a 39-6 record (.867 winning percentage) at the Devaney Center, including a 16-3 mark in 2013. Those wins have generally come in front of some of the largest regular-season crowds in the history of college volleyball. The Huskers played eight matches in front of 10,000 or more fans in the previous seating configuration at the Devaney Center, including the three largest regularseason crowds in NCAA history. In 2009, with a basketball seating capacity of 13,595, the Devaney Center set an NCAA regular-season attendance mark of 13,870 for a match against UCLA. That attendance topped the previous NCAA regular-season mark of 13,412, which was set at the Devaney Center on Sept. 12, 2008, when

the Huskers defeated LSU. On Oct. 21, 2007, the Devaney Center held 13,396 for a match against Hawaii. The renovations to the Devaney Center have done much more than change the capacity. Massive red ceiling trusses helped create a similar environment in the arena to the Huskers’ former home in the Coliseum. A great wall, which replicates the old Coliseum entry, adds to an atmosphere steeped in tradition. While the new Devaney Center pays homage to the history of the Coliseum, which served as the home to Husker NCAA Championship teams in 1995, 2000 and 2006, the innovative design and technological advances inside also symbolize the visionary contributions of AVCA AllTime Great Coaches Terry Pettit and John Cook. Nebraska volleyball players have long been encouraged to “Dream Big” and the Devaney Center project made that dream a reality. The $20 million renovation covers 102,548 square feet. It included greatly expanded premium seating options, while also providing drastically increased seating for both Nebraska students and physically challenged fans. The project also included new 10MM video boards, along with updated concession areas and renovated restrooms. The finishing touches on the renovation were finished this summer, including a new, grand fan entrance at street-level on the south side of the arena. With renovations now complete, the Devaney Center offers a perfect blend of tradition and technology designed to benefit the nation’s best volleyball fans. The Devaney Center also provides the top young volleyball players in the world the best training and competitive environment for continuing to pursue Big Ten and NCAA championships at Nebraska.

INTRODUCTION
The big ten conference Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back nearly 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on January 11, 1895, thenPurdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University James E. Delany Commissioner of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for amateur intercollegiate athletics. On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the debut of men’s and women’s lacrosse this academic year, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing opportunities to more student-athletes than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. In January 2014, Michigan State defeated Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a conference student-athlete can receive and in 2014, the conference celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years as a 10-member conference, the conference consolidated to a nine-school league when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former student-athletes to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.
In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences. In 2006, Commissioner Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with Fox Cable Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). BTN launched on August 30, 2007, and will be in 60 million homes by the start of the 2014 football season. BTN is carried by all major cable, satellite and telco providers, as well as more than 300 cable operators across the United States and Canada. BTN2Go is the network’s 24/7 simulcast available on smartphones, tablets and the internet that also allows international fans to access BTN. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on November 19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 student-athletes and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports. On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins University had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse gives the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport and building on the Big Ten’s tradition of broad-based sports competition. In the fall of 2013, the Big Ten opened a new conference headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. The newly constructed building is located 10 minutes from O’Hare Airport and has been designed to fully service the needs of nearly 200 meetings annually for Big Ten and Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) related committees and coaches groups. The new headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which opened to the public on June 7, 2014, and brings the conference’s storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information, on the Big Ten Experience, go to bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Three Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators will utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C. Delany and his staff work to meet the educational needs of student-athletes to allow them to excel in both academics and athletics. The conference office manages 28 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 1,200 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference. Nearly 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 300 team and nearly 1,700 individual NCAA Championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.

NU Boasts NCAA-Record Sellout Streak
The Husker volleyball program hit another unprecedented milestone in 2014, when the Huskers posted their 200th consecutive sellout in the NCAA Regional Final against Texas at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers sold out all 19 of their home matches in 2013 in the first season at the Devaney Center, which featured a capacity nearly double that of the NU Coliseum, Nebraska’s home venue from 1975 to 2012. The increased capacity was no issue for Nebraska, as the Huskers sold out of their season-ticket packages, sold single-game standing-room-only tickets and have a season-ticket waiting list of more than 1,000. Nebraska not only continued the longest sellout streak in the history of NCAA women’s athletics, but the Huskers led the nation in attendance for the first time in 20 years in 2013. Nebraska averaged 8,175 fans per game in its inaugural season at the Devaney Center. According to NCAA records, the Huskers became the first volleyball team to average 8,000 fans per match for an entire season. NU and Hawaii (7,591) were the only two schools nationally to average at least 4,000 fans per match in 2013. Home volleyball matches have been sold out since Sept. 26, 2001, when Nebraska began its streak of 181 consecutive sellouts to close its stay at the NU Coliseum. 2013 NCAA Attendance Leaders No. School 1.

Huskers Home to NCAA-Record Crowds
In addition to the sellout streak, the Huskers have played in front of the largest regularseason and postseason crowds in NCAA history. Nebraska drew a sellout crowd of 13,870 to the Bob Devaney Sports Center for its match against UCLA on Sept. 13, 2009, when the Devaney Center featured seating configured for basketball. An overall NCAA-record crowd of 17,430 fans came out to watch Nebraska hand Penn State its only two set losses of the season in the 2006 NCAA Semifinal at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha. Large single-match crowds are not an exception at Nebraska, but they are the norm. In fact, all 10 of the largest regular-season crowds in the sport’s history have involved the Huskers.

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. His vision catapulted the program to a new phase in 2013 as the Devaney Center underwent a $20 million renovation and became the new home for Nebraska volleyball. Moving to the Devaney Center increased the capacity crowd for Nebraska volleyball matches from 4,125 at the Coliseum to nearly 8,000 in addition to 400 standing-room-only tickets. In addition, five suites that give a private and expansive view of the action were built on the south side of the building and student seating was drastically increased. 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 2014 with an NCAA-record 200 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum - the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics. 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 CenturyLink 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. Since taking over the program in 2000, Cook has guided the Huskers to a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances, nine Big 12 titles and one Big Ten championship. His teams have compiled a 413-48 record, owning the nation’s top winning percentage (.896) during his tenure. Cook has also excelled against ranked teams, compiling a 126-31 record, including a 24-12 mark against top-five squads. 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 Ten Award winners, 41 AVCA All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans of the Year, 18 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, one Big Ten Player of the Year, six Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. Husker student-athletes have also combined for 40 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 61 academic All-Big 12 certificates. The Huskers have also earned 13 All-Big Ten honors, and 18 academic All-Big Ten accolades. 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 four-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. In the Huskers’ first year in the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2013, Nebraska notched a 26-7 record and second-place finish in the Big Ten Conference. NU advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight as Kelsey Robinson was selected as a first-team All-American, Kadie Rolfzen earned third-team accolades and Mary Pollmiller and Meghan Haggerty were chosen as honorable-mention selections. Cook coached Robinson to one of the most successful seasons in Husker history, as she was selected as Nebraska’s first Big Ten Player of the Year. Along with Robinson, Rolfzen and Pollmiller were also honored as All-Big Ten selections. The team recorded its 32nd straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and in doing so, improved its all-time record to 89-29. The Huskers have enjoyed unprecedented success over the last nine seasons, making
COACHES & ADMINISTRATION three appearances in the NCAA semifinals. NU has also reached the Elite Eight in eight of the last 10 seasons. The Huskers posted a 26-7 record in 2012, a historic season the marked the final year at the NU Coliseum. The team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight as Lauren Cook was named a first-team AVCA All-American, Gina Mancuso and Hannah Werth earned second-team honors and Meghan Haggerty was as an honorable-mention pick. Cook guided the Huskers to a 10-5 record against ranked teams and topped two No. 1 teams during the course of the season. The Huskers also posted four All-Big Ten picks and seven academic All-Big Ten accolades in 2012. During the 2011 season the Huskers made history with their first Big Ten Conference title, as they won their 32nd overall conference crown. Nebraska notched a 25-5 record on the year. In addition, Mancuso was named a first-team AVCA All-American, while Werth, Morgan Broekhuis and Cook were tabbed honorable-mention picks. In 2010 the Huskers won their 12th conference title as a member of the Big 12 with an overall record of 29-3. The team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight, while Brooke Delano was named an AVCA first-team All-American. Lindsey Licht and Werth were second-team picks. Werth was also tabbed the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Cook was named Co-Big 12 Coach of the Year and Lauren Cook was the league’s newcomer of the year. 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 NCAA runner-up Texas in the regional final. NU finished with a 26-7 record and was ranked fifth in the final AVCA poll. 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 NCAA regional final before a loss to Cal ended a 30-2 season, while a school-record five Huskers earned AVCA AllAmerica 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 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, Wayne, Grand Island and

Norfolk 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.” Three Straight 30-Win Seasons Cook immediately started to create his own legacy after taking over for Pettit. In his first season at the helm, 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 AllAmerica 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 Ten 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 secondteam 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.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION Cook faced perhaps his greatest coaching challenge at Nebraska in 2003, when the Huskers had to replace three AllAmericans 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 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.

NCAA Winningest Active Coaches A licensed pilot, John Cook had an opportunity to fly with the 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 Complex. We lead the nation in academic All-America honors, NCAA Top Ten 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 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’ve had countless former players play around the world 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.

Shawn Eichorst was named Nebraska’s 14th Director of Athletics on Oct. 4, 2012, by Chancellor Harvey Perlman. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Nebraska’s reputation as a world-class academic institution and its stature as one of the strongest and most balanced athletic departments in collegiate athletics supports Eichorst’s top priority, which is to ensure all Husker student-athletes have the necessary support to succeed in academics, athletics and life. Since taking over for the legendary Tom Osborne as Director of Athletics on Jan. 3, 2013, Eichorst has immersed himself in Nebraska’s rich traditions. He has made nearly 300 public appearances, including nearly 200 speaking engagements in Nebraska. He serves on the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team and regularly meets with campus administrators and deans. Eichorst’s monthly radio show and Connecting on Campus column promote the university’s academic and athletic successes, along with the academic and community achievements of Husker student-athletes. Eichorst was also the first Director of Athletics to visit the Big Ten-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including the Digital Humanities and head injury research. Under Eichorst’s watch, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 314, including seven in 2013-14. NU also increased its nation-leading total to 17 NCAA Top Ten Award winners, as Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. A total of 279 Huskers were honored at the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet, and 208 Husker student-athletes earned academic All-Big Ten honors in 2013-14, an increase of 20 from 2012-13. In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason play in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports. The NU football team completed its sixth straight nine-win season, while playing in its third consecutive New Year’s Day bowl game, a win over Georgia. The volleyball team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in its first season at the Devaney Center. The Husker soccer team qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, and advanced to the second round after winning Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles. The women’s basketball team captured Nebraska’s first-ever conference tournament title while earning an NCAA Tournament win for the second straight year. The Huskers also hosted an NCAA Regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena – the first time since 1993 that NCAA Tournament basketball came to Lincoln. The men’s basketball team earned Nebraska’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1998, following a top-four Big Ten finish. The men’s and women’s basketball teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament in the same season for the first time since 1998. The bowling team earned an NCAA runner-up finish, and the rifle team finished fifth at the NCAA Championships. The women’s gymnastics program made the NCAA Super Six and earned a share of the Big Ten title. The men’s gymnastics team added an eighth-place NCAA finish, while the wrestling team claimed 11th at nationals - its top showing at the NCAA Championships since 2009. The softball team shared the Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional for the second straight season. The baseball team earned its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008. It marked the first time in school history the baseball and men’s basketball teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament in the same season. The men’s track and field team finished 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, after finishing 17th at the indoor meet. The women added a 19th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Huskers produced 42 All-Americans who won 51 awards, including 29 first-team honors - NU’s highest All-America totals in more than a decade. Nebraska ranked in the top 20 nationally in attendance in football (90,933, 9th), volleyball (8,175, 1st), men’s basketball (15,419, 13th), women’s basketball (6,161, 11th), baseball (3,241,
15th) and softball (963) in 2013-14. NU’s football, men’s basketball and volleyball attendances were all school records, and the Huskers extended NCAA-record home sellout streaks in both football (333) and volleyball (200). Nebraska is focusing on improving the game-day atmosphere at every venue, including a $12.3 million upgrade of its wireless networks in and around Memorial Stadium in 2014. It is the largest wireless network system installation at a college stadium in history. The upgrade includes a new sound system, IPTV system installation and innovative smartphone applications. In the summer of 2013, Memorial Stadium expansion increased capacity while adding the innovative Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). The men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home of the Husker volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics programs. The next major facility project is a world-class, $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Innovation Campus. When completed in 2015, the facilities will rank among the best in the Big Ten. Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs – football, baseball, men’s diving, women’s cross country and women’s golf. Miami’s Hurricane Club grew to more than 5,000 nationwide. A total of $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12, and $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised for the Center for Athletic Excellence. Eichorst hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, and the Hurricanes advanced to the NIT second round. The women’s basketball program posted the highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA Tournament win in history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip. Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin from 2009 to 2011. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the day-to-day operations (23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees) under Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility, and the Student-Athlete Performance Center at Camp Randall Stadium. At South Carolina, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised Lou Holtz’s and Steve Spurrier’s football programs and Ray Tanner’s baseball program. The football team was bowl-eligible each season, and the baseball team competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a football training facility. From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10 percent NACDA Directors Cup finishes, one NCAA team title, two NCAA runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for Wisconsin-Whitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999. He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors. In 2006, Marquette awarded Eichorst the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year award.

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.

SEASON IN REVIEW
HUskers Make Regional Finals in 2013 The 2013 season was full of firsts for the Nebraska volleyball program as the Huskers opened a new era at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. After calling the NU Coliseum home for nearly 40 years, the Huskers moved to the Devaney Center as the new home of Nebraska volleyball. The Devaney Center, which received $20 million in renovations designed to create the nation’s premier home court advantage for volleyball, helped the Huskers average 8,175 fans per match and lead the nation in attendance for the first time in two decades. Head Coach John Cook guided a young squad in 2013, as the Huskers welcomed seven newcomers to the team, including All-America transfers Kelsey Robinson and Mary Pollmiller. NU also ushered in the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation. The Huskers’ historic 2013 began with the first volleyball match at the Bob Devaney Sports Center since its renovation. NU posted a 3-1 win over the Villanova Wildcats in front of 8,321 fans, while the Nebraska Athletic Department honored former head coach Terry Pettit prior to the match with a special court dedication ceremony. Saint Mary’s, Dayton and Iowa State all paid visits to the Devaney Center for the Ameritas Players Challenge. The Huskers took down the Saint Mary’s Gaels in a 3-1 victory and defeated Dayton 3-0. A spirited and gutsy performance from the No. 12 Huskers helped NU top No. 17 Iowa State 3-0, in the first visit from a top-20 team to the new Devaney Center. Nebraska turned its attention to the defending national champion and No. 6 Texas Longhorns on Sept. 22 at Gregory Gym on the campus of the University of Texas. In front of a 4,213 fans, the Huskers used a comeback effort to force their first five-set match of the season after being down 2-1 in the match. Texas came out on top, winning 3-2. The Huskers opened the 2013 Big Ten slate on the road, earning a 3-1 victory over Northwestern and sweeping No. 24 Illinois at Huff Hall. The string of matches proved to be a successful opening weekend for the Big Red, as Nebraska came away with a 2-0 Big Ten record. NU returned home for a tough weekend with No. 8 Minnesota and No. 23 Wisconsin. The 10th-ranked Huskers swept the Gophers in three sets on Friday night in front of 8,223 fans. Kelsey Robinson led Nebraska on the night with 21 kills on 40 swings for a .450 hitting percentage. Kadie Rolfzen tallied a double-double with 11 kills and a matchhigh 12 digs. The Badgers proved to be a pesky opponent the following night, battling the Huskers for five sets before Nebraska prevailed. Robinson once again produced a dominating performance to lead the Huskers, recording a career-high 29 kills on 56 swings for a .393 hitting clip. She also recorded a team-high 22 digs for her eighth doubledouble of the season. Robinson was named the AVCA/ Sports Imports National Player of the Week for her efforts over the weekend. Nebraska traveled to Michigan for a showdown with the No. 17 Wolverines and the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans. The Huskers outlasted Michigan in five sets, but dropped their first conference match of the year to MSU, 3-1. The No. 8 Huskers responded the following weekend with a 3-0 win over Indiana at the Devaney Center. The win gave John Cook his 400th victory at Nebraska. In

The No. 10 Nebraska volleyball team fell in a 3-1 decision to the No. 2 Penn State Nittany Lions to close the regular
season. In front of a season-high 8,561 fans, the Huskers honored seniors Robinson, Morgan Broekhuis and Hayley Thramer in the regular-season finale. Nebraska opened the postseason with a pair of sweeps over Fairfield and Oregon. The win over the Ducks punched NU’s ticket to the NCAA Lincoln Regional the following weekend and advanced the Huskers to the Sweet 16 for the 30th time in 32 all-time trips to the postseason. With two wins down and four to go, Nebraska hosted American, San Diego and Texas in NCAA Regional action. In the NCAA Regional Semifinal, the eighth-seeded Huskers handed the No. 9 seed San Diego Toreros a 3-0 defeat. The Huskers never trailed by more than three at any point in the match, but were constantly pushed by a Torero squad who entered the match with the nation’s third-longest winning streak at 17 matches. Nebraska’s run for another national title ended on Saturday, Dec. 14. Top-ranked Texas advanced to the NCAA Semifinals in continued defense of its 2012 national title.

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

season 16 times since 1984, most recently in 2013, when Kelsey Robinson and Kadie Rolfzen 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 14 years, Cook has guided Nebraska to a 413-48 record, a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances, nine Big 12 championships and one Big Ten title. During the Big 12 era, Cook’s teams were an amazing 207-13. 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. NU 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.
Terry Pettit, pictured with Kim Behrends, led NU to six NCAA semifinals and the 1995 national title. The Devaney Center court was named in honor of Coach Pettit after a generous gift from Bill and Ruth Scott.
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 32 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 was a significant factor in growing fan support, which has kept Nebraska among
the nation’s leaders in attendance, annually ranking in the top three nationally, including second in 2012. Nebraska sold out its last 181 straight matches at the 4,030-seat Coliseum, dating back to 2001. The Huskers moved into the newly-renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center for the 2013 season. Nebraska sold out nearly 8,000 season tickets in the reconfigured Devaney Center for its inaugural season and led the nation in attendance in 2013 with an average of 8,175 fans per match, while strethching its home sellout streak to 200 matches. Nebraska set an NCAA regular-season 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. 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.

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. NU produced 36 victories in 1976 when all matches were played as two-out-of-three contests.

Despite the loss of three standout seniors who guided Nebraska to its first national title in 1995, and injuries to three key players, the Huskers nearly became the first team to repeat as NCAA champions since UCLA turned the trick in 1990 and 1991. NU fell only two matches shy of back-to-back national championships, dropping a hard-fought decision to eventual champion Stanford in the national semifinals.
NCAA Semifinals
The 30-3 Huskers faced top-seeded Stanford (29-2), which featured four AVCA All-Americans. Nebraska won the first game, 15-9, but the Cardinal amassed large leads in each of the next three games, securing a 3-1 win. Two days later, the Cardinal swept Hawaii for the national title. Lisa Reitsma led the Huskers with a match-high 22 kills. Kate Crnich smacked 16 kills and added a match-high 15 digs.

Back-to-Back
For the second consecutive year, Nebraska returned to the NCAA Championships, only to be ousted one match short of the finals. Once again, as it did in 1986, Pacific sent the Huskers home with a 3-1 loss. It was the Tigers’ second victory of the season against Nebraska, as the Tigers defeated the Huskers 3-1 in an early season tournament.
NCAA Semifinals
A close match throughout, Nebraska and Pacific’s intense game one set the tone. Nebraska led 13-11, but saw the

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.
1989 Season Highlights
• Virginia Stahr captured several awards in 1989 including Delta Scholar Athlete of the Year, Woody Hayes Female Athlete of the Year, Big Eight Female Athlete of the Year and the NCAA Today’s Top Six Award. • Nebraska set team records in 1989 with 2,031 kills, 1,803 assists and a 17.07 kills per game average. • Nebraska won its 14th consecutive Big Eight title with a perfect 12-0 record. • The Huskers started the year with a season-high 14-match winning streak.

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. The first game took too much out of the Huskers, as they fell in games two and three by scores of 15-4, 15-4.
1986 Season Highlights
• Nebraska set four single-season team records, including most kills, attacks, hitting percentage and digs. Schonewise set individual season records for kills, kills per game and attacks. • The Huskers set an NCAA record with a .331 hitting percentage, a mark that still ranks in the top 15 all time. • Nebraska won its 11th straight Big Eight championship in 1986 with a 10-0 record and defeated Oklahoma, 3-0, for the tournament trophy in Salina, Kan.

Nebraska leads the nation in AVCA AllAmericans, producing 38 student-athletes who have combined for 76 All-America certificates. Nebraska is second nationally with 41 firstteam All-America awards. First-team AVCA All-American Kelsey Robinson and third-team honoree Kadie Rolfzen led the Huskers in 2013, while Meghan Haggerty and Mary Pollmiller added honorable-mention awards. Nebraska has had at least one All-American every season since 1983, (32 straight seasons) including 41 AllAmericans in Coach John Cook’s 14 seasons.
Olympians
Nebraska volleyball has produced five U.S. Olympians: Cathy Noth (1988 alternate), Lori Endicott (1992, 1996), Allison Weston (2000), Nancy Metcalf (2004) and Jordan Larson (2012).

Building the All-Around Volleyball PLayer
The University of Nebraska volleyball strength and conditioning coach is dedicated to making each student-athlete the best all-around 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
Brian Kmitta enters his second season as head strength coach for the volleyball program in 2014. The strength and conditioning program’s goal is to produce strength, speed, power and discipline. Making sure the student-athletes are strong, healthy, and competitive is the number one priority. Another goal 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 fast-paced game of short bursts requiring change of directions both laterally and vertically. Developing volleyball endurance is also crucial to prepare for five sets. The conditioning consists of plyometric, agility, speed and endurance training. Plyometric training is used to increase verticals and to work on landings to reduce injuries. Volleyball players need to be able to change direction quickly and get to top speed as fast 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.

HUSKERS.COM THE BOB DEVANEY SPORTS CENTER The Nebraska volleyball program enters its second season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2014. The Huskers’ first season in the renovated facility was a tremendous success, as Nebraska averaged an NCAA-record 8,175 fans per match in 2013. Despite nearly doubling the capacity from the NU Coliseum, the Huskers sold out every match at the Devaney Center last season. NU has sold out 201 consecutive home matches entering this season. The Huskers’ sellout streak dates back to 2001 and is the longest streak in the history of NCAA women’s athletics.
