2008 Season Preview
2008 Georgia Bulldogs
Joel McCartney and the Bulldogs aim to reach the NCAA Tournament in 2008 The Georgia Bulldogs volleyball team is coming off of the best single-season turnaround in program history. After the 2006 squad posted just six wins, Joel McCartney took over as head coach in 2007, and in his first year at the helm of the program guided the Bulldogs to a 17-13 mark. McCartney’s 2008 squad looks to continue the winning ways with the ultimate goal of this season being a berth into the NCAA Tournament. “Although our focus will continue to be the steady improvement of a nationally competitive program, our single goal for 2008 is to accomplish a postseason bid in the NCAA Tournament,” McCartney said. Georgia enters the 2008 season after having won the inaugural Southeastern Conference Coaches’ Beach Volleyball Championships this past spring, which featured a total of 40 teams from all of SEC’s 11 volleyball schools. “The goal of Georgia volleyball has been and will continue to be an unprecedented break out of success to the very highest level,” McCartney said after winning the event in April. “Winning the firstever SEC Coaches Beach Championship is just the start of what I hope is many years of growing success with the Bulldog program.”
10 Things You Need To Know About The 2008 Georgia Bulldogs 1. First-Ever Ranked Recruiting Class. The 2008 freshmen were ranked 30th by PrepVolleyball.com, the first ranked recruiting class in school history. 2. Two Fab 50 Athletes. That recruiting class included two PrepVolleyball.com Fab 50 athletes in Ann Dylla and Kathleen Gates. 3. Six Total New Additions. In addition to Dylla and Gates, UGA’s roster and ranked recruiting class includes four other members in Briana Bahr, Tomoka Matsuyama, Michele Simmons and Carla Tietz. 4. Seven Bulldogs Return. The 2008 roster also features seven returning players with two seniors and five sophomores. There are no junior members of the team. 5. Leading Kills Per Set Leader Returns. Maria Taylor returns for her senior season after not only leading the Bulldogs but also leading the entire Southeastern Conference in kills per set in 2007 at 4.65. 6. U.S. National A2 Experience. This past summer, Taylor helped the U.S. National A2 Blue Team earn bronze in the Open Division of the USA Volleyball Championships. 7. First Win Equals 300 for McCartney. For his career, Joel McCartney enters 2008 with 299 career head coaching victories. Georgia’s first win will mark the 300 win milestone for the second-year Bulldog head coach. 8. Clark Heads Class of Returning Sophomores. Erika Clark earned All-SEC Freshmen Team honors last year and is one of five returning sophomores. 9. The Defensive Leader Also Returns. Fellow sophomore Lindsay Gehan also returns after leading the team with 144 total blocks as a freshman. 10. The Goal is Set. Head coach Joel McCartney has indicated that the ultimate goal for the Bulldogs in 2008 is to reach the NCAA Tournament. Georgia’s last appearance in the tournament came in 2004.

The Setter:
Kathleen Gates, Fr. “Joining the Bulldogs in the setter role this season will be Kathleen Gates,” McCartney said. “Kathleen recently led her team in the Open Division of the USAV Junior National Tournament. She is a pure setter who will step into the starting role immediately. With our setter from last season playing injured throughout most of the year, we feel that Kathleen will be able to step in and provide an upgrade for us at this position this year.”
The Middle Hitters:
Ann Dylla, Fr.; Lindsay Gehan, So.; Valentina Gonzalez, So.; Simone May, So.; Anjelica Partridge, Sr. & Michele Simmons, Fr. “Lindsay Gehan and Valentina Gonzalez are the returning starters from last year, but the middle position could be the most competitive role for the Bulldogs in 2008,” McCartney said. “Lindsay has a better than good chance of being a starter in the middle or one of the outside pins. She has really improved her athleticism over the spring and elevated her ability to terminate both offensively and defensively at the net. Valentina came in and won a starting role last season as a freshman but was bugged a little with some nagging injuries in the spring. Time will tell if she hangs on to the starting role or if one of the other talented athletes in depth can step up. Anjelica Partridge saw very limited time on the court last year, but has the potential to become a dynamic leader in the support role. Her determination and work ethic is part of what makes Anjelica a leader despite the lack of court time. Simone May is another athlete who provides us great versatility in her ability to play in the middle or either outside position. Ann Dylla is a dynamic athlete with a great head for the game and the physical skills to terminate in our M1 position. We think Ann will probably make her way to the court sooner rather than later. Michele Simmons is a little behind the game in terms of her development, but she is a great sized athlete and has the potential to be a terminating force at the net for the Bulldogs.”
The Outside Hitters:
Briana Bahr, Fr.; Erika Clark, So.; Lindsay Gehan, So.; Simone May, So. & Maria Taylor, Sr. “Maria Taylor is coming off her most productive season as a Bulldog and was recently chosen to play on the U.S. National A2 program competing in the USAV Open National Tournament,” McCartney said. “She gained some valuable experience playing with and against some of the top NCAA Division I athletes across the nation. Although Maria is most comfortable on the opposite pin, she will be featured everywhere in our offensive system. Ultimately, we will place her in the position where she is best capable of helping our overall line-up. Erika Clark returns as a starter from a year ago and looks to be our ball controlling O2 once again. She has a great sense of balance in her game and is an incredibly deceiving athlete standing only 5’9”. The previously mentioned Gehan will have an opportunity to win a role on either the left or right pin if that proves to be the most comfortable for her and the rest of the team. It should be exciting to see how the line-up all comes together, but the pre-season camp will be a vital time in determining how it will all shake out. Simone May could also emerge on one of the pins, but will most likely train in all three positions until we really find her niche in the system. Briana Bahr is a pure opposite pin player with a big left arm swing and a nice sized blocking presence. If Briana can get up to speed quickly enough, she could force us to readjust the line-up and create something more dynamic for this season, but we are planning to be patient with her development and look forward to the future impact she can make on our court.”
The Defensive Specialists:
Kelsey Burkett, So.; Tomoka Matsuyama, Fr. & Carla Tietz, Fr. “The Libero position and key defensive roles are wide open for the fall season and we are looking forward to the competitive nature of these athletes coming out in the pre-season camp,” McCartney said. “Kelsey Burkett saw some action last season as defensive role player and gave us a boost from time to time with her passing ball control and defensive intensity. Carla Tietz had the advantage of graduating early from high school to join the Bulldogs for the spring season and this will give her a leg up in competing for the starting Libero or Defensive Specialist role. Tomoka Matsuyama is a great asset to our program as she will have a chance to earn a significant role with this year’s line-up as well.”

Q & A with Coach Mccartney 2008 Season Preview
Q & A with Head Coach Joel McCartney
What do you look for in a recruit? “Georgia has a tradition of tough academics that will ensure a quality education and a meaningful degree. Because we place such an emphasis on being accountable and responsible, the program attracts student-athletes who have already been successful in the classroom. However, what is most important to me is how much potential a student-athlete has and how willing they are in growing that potential to the very highest level of achievement. Overall, we are looking for good citizens with exceptional potential. We want our athletes to respect themselves, the individuals in our program and the people of their community.”
How does it feel to have the first-ever nationally ranked recruiting class in Georgia’s program history? “We are blessed to have such a talented group of freshmen joining our program and extremely pleased to see the national attention these athletes received when Georgia was recognized with one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. Although Kathleen and Ann were named to the PrepVolleyball.com Fab 50 list we feel all six have a real shot of impacting the near future of our program with their individual talents.”
2008 Georgia Bulldogs
What is your coaching philosophy? “The absolute most important aspect to my life beyond faith and family is the Bulldog volleyball program. I want to be able to give every part of myself to building up the potential of everyone involved. I want to ensure each student-athlete has a great academic experience which will prepare them for a lifetime of possibility. Finally, I want to recruit the very best student-athletes and help them build character by teaching accountability and responsibility through the competitive experiences within our program.”
Could you comment on the 2008 Schedule? “We feel this schedule is challenging but ultimately the right fit for our goal to get into the NCAA postseason tournament. We will always try to schedule competitive non-conference matches to prepare for the challenging SEC league play, and we believe that mission was accomplished with the 2008 scheduling. The conference is growing more competitive every year as evidenced by the number of teams represented in the postseason. We were the sixth team in a conference that sent five to the NCAA’s last season and that does not go unrecognized with the group we have coming back. Although our focus will continue to be the steady improvement of a nationally competitive program, our single goal for 2008 is to accomplish a postseason bid in the NCAA Tournament.”
How do you feel about last year’s success? “There is tremendous meaning in what we accomplished last season and it is significant in a number of ways. The progress in the win column both inside and outside of the SEC launched our program to another level and created momentum to build upon. Although we were pleased with the dramatic improvements of last season, there is still much work to do in securing our footing with the culture of this program. We are sure that using last season’s success will instill a confidence towards achieving a higher plateau in 2008 and we look forward to putting that to the test.”
Georgia’s Coaches Pledge “These student-athletes are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, highly-trained athletes thoroughly indoctrined in love for the Georgia Bulldogs who represent the University of Georgia and the athletic program in the highest possible manner. I will encourage our athletes and insist that they perform to the best of their ability in the classroom as well as in the arena of competitive athletics. I will require of them, and demonstrate by my own example, the highest standards of integrity, personal conduct, morality, sportsmanship and professional skill.” University of Georgia Volleyball

Head Coach 12th year overall 299-113 (.726) 2nd year at Georgia 17-13 (.567)
Head coach Joel McCartney and the Georgia Bulldogs enter the 2008 season with ultimate team goal of reaching the NCAA postseason tournament. McCartney, in his second year at the helm of the Georgia program, guided the Bulldogs to the biggest turn around in school history during his first season in 2007. The 2007 Bulldogs posted a 17-13 overall record following just a six-win campaign in the previous season, a turnaround of 11 more wins. Georgia wasted no time in turning to those winning ways in 2007 by starting the season 8-0, tying the 1993 squad for the third-best start in school history. What was even more impressive with the 8-0 start was that all eight victories were shutouts, which tied a school record for consecutive shutouts. The Bulldogs also tied a school record for consecutive games won at 25 by taking the first game against Georgia Tech on Sept. 7, 2007. Georgia closed its non-conference schedule with a record of 9-1 including a tournament title at the Georgia Southern Invitational. The 9-1 mark was the best record for a UGA team heading into conference play since the 1992 team went 12-1 before its first Southeastern Conference contest. The 2007 Bulldogs then posted eight conference victories, the most league wins for the program since 2004. Georgia’s 17 total wins and eight SEC wins surpassed the combined total number of overall and conference wins from both the 2005 and 2006 seasons. McCartney’s instilled winning ways continued to develop during the spring of 2008 as the Bulldogs earned the inaugural SEC Coaches’ Beach Volleyball Championship. Additionally, McCartney landed the nation’s 30th-ranked recruiting class for the 2008 season according to PrepVolleyball.com, which marked the first-ever ranking in school history for a Georgia volleyball recruiting class. The fifth head coach at Georgia since the program’s inception in 1978, McCartney arrived in Athens with a career 282 wins in just 382 matches coached, making him one of the nation’s winningest active collegiate coaches. After becoming the first Georgia coach to open his Bulldog career on a winning streak and finishing with 17 overall wins, McCartney’s career record now stands at 299-113 (.726). Georgia’s first win in 2008 will mark a career milestone for McCartney in that it will be his 300th head coaching victory. McCartney accepted the reigns at Georgia after leading The Joel McCartney File Winthrop University to a 167-49 record in six years, including Hometown: Papillion, Nebraska a 34-3 campaign in 2006 and a fifth-straight appearance in Education: Bachelor’s - Graceland College (1987) the NCAA Tournament.

sity. He served in that role before accepting the first assistant coaching position at Indiana State University from 1993-95. McCartney then took over the head coaching position of the Nebraska Tornados, a National Volleyball Association Professional League team, from 1996-98. His 1998 team captured the NVA national championship. During his stint as the Nebraska Tornados head coach, McCartney served as the head coach at Bellevue University (1996-2000). He led the NAIA program to a 115-51 overall record, recruited and coached several academic and athletic All-Americans and brought the program to national prominence. McCartney, in just four short seasons, became the winningest coach in Bellevue University history. McCartney left Bellevue University to return to an assistant position at the Division I level. He accepted a role at the University of Oklahoma as the first-assistant coach. His responsibility under the mentorship of his former college teammate, Kalani Mahi, was assisting in the on-court training and recruitment of student-athletes. McCartney also played on the collegiate and professional levels. He was both an Academic and Collegiate Club All-American while playing for Graceland College from 1983-87. He went on to play for the USAV Open National Champions, Nike Molten, in 1988 before competing professionally from 1989-91 in Umea, Sweden for Team IKSU. A 1983 graduate of Nebraska’s Papillion High School, McCartney completed his undergraduate degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Economics and Finance from Graceland College in 1987. He then earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Eastern Kentucky University in 1992. He is married to the former Andrea Viviano from Kansas City and has a daughter Kate (born June 10, 2004) and son James (born May 18, 2006). Since starting his head coaching journey in Nebraska at Bellevue University, McCartney has built a resume that any collegiate coach would envy. A .726 winning percentage, 299 career wins and six NCAA Tournament appearances. McCartney currently stands at the No. 22 spot for his winning percentage compared to the other active NCAA Division I women’s volleyball coaches. McCartney’s sixth and final season at Winthrop in 2006 was arguably his most successful. Using the leadership of only three seniors, the Eagles exploded for 34 wins and just three losses. In addition to capturing their fifth Big South Conference championship, McCartney also led his team to the NCAA Division I Tournament, where the Eagles faced the University of Northern Iowa in the first round. Despite his team falling to the Panthers 3-1, McCartney developed Winthrop, which has an enrollment of less than 7,000, into one of the nation’s toughest competitors.

UGA Athletic Administration
2008 Georgia Bulldogs
Dr. Michael F. Adams University President Dr. Michael F. Adams was named the 21st president of the University of Georgia on June 11, 1997. He immediately focused on securing UGA’s future as one of America’s premier public research universities. Widely recognized as a leader in higher education administration, he also has held a number of significant leadership positions in intercollegiate athletics. He is currently the chairman of the NCAA Executive Committee, the highest governance body in the NCAA. It is composed of 13 campus presidents and chancellors who oversee association-wide issues. The committee is charged with ensuring that each division operates consistently with the basic purposes, fundamental policies and general
principles of the association. He has been chair of the Southeastern Conference and is a member of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. A college athlete himself – he lettered in track at Lipscomb University – he values athletics as an important part of the college experience for athletes and non-athletes alike. Dr. Adams recently completed a term as chairman of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. He is the only person to have served as chair of the American Council on Education, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and NASULGC. He has been chair of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accrediting body for higher education in the southern United States, and in 2005 received the James T. Rogers Distinguished Leadership Award, the highest honor given by the agency. A strategic plan, completed in 2001 at his direction, identified three themes for UGA’s growth in the first decade of the 21st century: Building the New Learning Environment, Maximizing Research Opportunities and Competing in a Global Economy. Under Dr. Adams’ leadership, student quality has risen steadily and the University of Georgia has been recognized as one of the nation’s very best public research universities for eight consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report. External funding for research, public service and instruction totals more than $200 million annually. Private giving to the university is at its highest level ever; UGA completed the Archway to Excellence campaign on June 30, 2008 with more than $630 million, well above the $500 million goal. The total value of construction initiated during his tenure approaches $1 billion, financed through the innovative use of state, federal, internal and private funds, and includes the Student Learning Center; new residence halls and a dining commons on East Campus; the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center; the Paul Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences; the Animal Health Research Center; the new Lamar Dodd School of Art and an expansion of Sanford Stadium and the Women’s Athletic Complex. Moore College, Candler Hall, Phi Kappa Hall and Myers Hall have been renovated and Old College, the University’s first building, has been renovated as the home of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a bachelor’s degree in speech and history from David Lipscomb College. He earned a master’s in political communications and a doctorate in political communications, with a cognate emphasis in educational administration, from The Ohio State University. At OSU, he was named a University Fellow, the highest academic recognition given by the graduate school. He holds an academic appointment as a professor of speech communication at UGA. Dr. Adams was born in Montgomery, Alabama and attended public schools in Georgia from first grade through ninth, graduating from high school in Chattanooga in 1966. He began his professional career on the communication faculty at Ohio State, later serving as vice president for university affairs at Pepperdine University. He was president of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky for nine years before coming to Georgia. He also served as chief of staff for Senator Howard Baker and as an aide to Governor Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. “The people of the state of Georgia deserve a flagship institution every bit as good as the citizens of Virginia or Michigan or California or North Carolina,” Dr. Adams said when he was named president. “I am committed to making the University of Georgia that kind of institution.”

Damon Evans Director Of Athletics UGA letter winner and double degree holder Damon Evans was selected as Director of Athletics in December 2003, and assumed the duties officially on July 1, 2004. At the time he was just 34 years of age, and one of the youngest athletic directors in the country. However, he had already established himself as an up and coming athletic administrator. Evans has received several honors including the Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal “40 Under 40 Award” for 2004, 2005, and 2007, the UGA Terry College of Business Award as the “Outstanding Young Alumnus”, and Sports Illustrated’s “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports”. Today, Damon oversees a nationally recognized program with 21 intercollegiate sports teams involving more than 600 student-athletes, a $76 million budget and a 250 person staff. He is a member of several Southeastern Conference and NCAA Committees, and is involved in volunteer and community service roles across the state of Georgia. In his first year at the helm, Georgia captured three national championships and finished seventh nationally in the NACDA Directors’ Cup. Additionally, UGA enjoyed the best year of fundraising in school history with over $32 million raised for both operating budget and endowment. Other highlights included: the structuring of an agreement with ISP Sports to out-source marketing rights that has more than doubled sponsorship revenue; and a record-setting year in logo licensing revenue taking UGA Athletic branding to one of the best in the nation. Success continued at UGA in 2005-06 as one national championship and a record seven conference titles were won by Bulldog teams. Other highlights included: recognition as the “most profitable intercollegiate athletics program in the country”; and a major financial contribution of $2 million to the University’s “Archway to Excellence” capital campaign to establish seven endowed professorships on campus as well as create endowed scholarships within the Office of Institutional Diversity. During Damon’s third year as Director of Athletics, 2006-07, Georgia Gymnastics won its third straight National Championship and eighth overall, and Men’s Tennis capped an undefeated season by winning the National Championship. Additionally, Georgia claimed SEC titles in Men’s and Women’s Tennis, and Women’s Golf. Other highlights included the establishment of new academic policies and the creation of a state-of-the-art web-based academic accountability system; finalizing new long-term contracts with corporate partners Nike and WSB Radio; and lastly, reaching and surpassing the Association’s goal of $60 million as part of the University-wide “Archway to Excellence Capital Campaign” by raising over $10 million for a grand total of $63 million for the “Investing in Champions” initiative. The past academic year demonstrated the continued excellence that has been the trademark of The University of Georgia Athletic Association. National Championships were claimed in Women’s Gymnastics, Men’s Tennis, and Equestrian. UGA Baseball appeared in the College World Series for the third time in the past five years. SEC titles were won by Baseball, Equestrian, Women’s Gymnastics, and Men’s Tennis, and Men’s Basketball captured the SEC Tournament championship. Thirteen of Georgia’s 21 programs are meeting the “ultimate” goal of the nation’s top ten and SEC’s top three. Other highlights from the 2007-08 year included the Grand opening of the new $30 million Coliseum Training Facility – the home of Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Gymnastics; a record-breaking total in contributions
10
of over $29.5 million to the William C. Hartman, Jr. Fund; a 12th consecutive year of increased royalty revenue; and a top ten finish in the NACDA Directors’ Cup. Damon was born in Nebraska, but spent much of his youth in Gainesville, Georgia where he graduated from Gainesville High School after a stellar career both athletically and academically. During his football career at Georgia (1988-92), Evans earned a starting assignment four consecutive seasons, played in three bowl games (‘89 Peach, ‘91 Independence, and ‘92 Citrus) and was a member of the ’91 and ’92 teams that won nine and ten games, respectively. He earned two degrees from the University of Georgia, receiving a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1992 and a master’s of education in sports management in 1994. Evans joined the staff at the University of Missouri, serving as Director of Compliance and Operations (1994-95). After holding the positions as a Director and Assistant Commissioner for Eligibility and Compliance Services at the Southeastern Conference (1995-98), he returned to his alma mater. Before his appointment as UGA Director of Athletics, Damon held titles of Associate and Senior Associate A.D. for Internal Affairs. Currently he is Vice-Chair of the NCAA Division I Management Council (the highest governance committee attainable by an athletic administrator) and has been appointed to the NCAA Division I Oversight and Monitoring Group. He is married to the former Kerri Budd of Atlanta and they have two children, Cameron and Kennedy.

Year after year, the Southeastern Conference shows why it is considered to be one of the premier volleyball conferences in the nation. In the last two decades, the SEC has made stellar contributions in volleyball. The conference has sent at least two SEC teams to the NCAA Tournament in every season the last 18 years. The SEC had a team reach the Final Four seven of the last 10 seasons in the ‘90s with the league having a team advance to the regional final nine of those 10 seasons. Since 2000, the SEC has had a team reach the Final Four three times and regional final four times. In 2007, Florida captured its 17th ever SEC Championship and made its 18th NCAA Tournament appearance and advanced to the regional semi-finals. In all, five teams from the SEC made the NCAA Tournament, including Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss. Since the inaugural SEC volleyball championship in 1979-80, many changes have occurred in the conference with volleyball. The addition of Arkansas and South Carolina to the league in 1991 brought the divisional format to the sport with five teams competing in the Eastern Division and six teams in the Western Division. Along with the popularity growth throughout the country, women’s volleyball has also grown in the SEC. A benchmark in that growth came in 1995 when SEC volleyball was first broadcasted on SEC-TV (Fox Sports Net South, Fox Sports Net Southwest and Sunshine Network) on a tape-delay basis. For the past nine seasons the coverage of live telecasts has grown, especially in the last six years. SEC volleyball will continue to enjoy the live coverage on SEC-TV to almost 22 million subscribers in the conference’s nine-state region.

Inaugural SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Champions Georgia Wins Inaugural SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championships April 13, 2008 GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Georgia volleyball program was awarded the Commissioner’s Cup on Saturday for winning the inaugural Southeastern Conference Coaches Beach Volleyball Championships. “The goal of Georgia volleyball has been and will continue to be an unprecedented break out of success to the very highest level,” Georgia head volleyball coach Joel McCartney said. “Winning the first-ever SEC Coaches Beach Championship is just the start of what I hope is many years of growing success with the Bulldog program.” In addition to winning the Commissioner’s Cup, which was award to the institution that earned the most points in pool play, the duo of rising sophomores Britta Buethe and Erika Clark took home the Gold Medal by winning the seeded playoffs at the top level of play. All of the SEC’s 11 volleyball schools took part in the Beach Volleyball Championships, the first-ever beach volleyball tournament held by a Division I conference, by sending a total of 40 teams to compete in four levels of pool play. The four levels of pool play were named for former SEC Commissioners Roy Kramer (Level 1), Harvey Schiller (Level 2), Boyd McWhorter (Level 3) and Bernie Moore (Level 4). Each team entered by a school earned points for their respective institution towards the Commissioner’s Cup based on its record in its pool.

Three of Georgia’s entered teams posted perfect 4-0 records led by Buethe and Clark in the Kramer pool. In the Schiller pool, the Bulldog team of newcomer Carla Tietz and rising sophomore Kelsey Burkett, as well as the team of rising senior Maria Taylor and rising sophomore Valentina Gonzalez, also posted perfect 4-0 marks. Additionally, the pair of rising sophomore Lindsay Gehan and Katie Winschel earned points for Georgia in the Schiller pool with a record of 2-1-1. A final Georgia team consisting of a trio of Bulldogs, Simone May, Sam Lum and Anjelica Partridge, posted a 3-1 mark in the Moore pool. The five Georgia teams combined to post an overall record of 17-2-1 in pool play, thus earning the Bulldogs more points (25) than any other participating institution to win the Commissioner’s Cup. The trophy, a diamond-shaped beveled-glass trophy in a black stand with the SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championships logo etched into the glass, was awarded to the Bulldogs by SEC Associate Commissioner Debbie Corum. South Carolina finished second with 23 points, while Florida took third with 17 points. After pool play, each team was seeded into a playoff in their respective level of play, and Buethe and Clark took home the Gold Medal by winning the Kramer pool playoff.

Under the guidance of first-year Georgia head coach Joel McCartney, the Georgia volleyball program underwent a season of change in 2007 posting its first winning season in three years with a 17-13 overall record. Following just a six-win season in the previous season, the 2007 Bulldogs wasted no time in turning to winning ways by starting the season 8-0, tying the 1993 Georgia squad for the third-best start in school history. What was even more impressive with the 8-0 start was that all eight victories were shutouts, which tied a school record for consecutive shutouts. The Bulldogs also tied a school record for consecutive games won at 25 by taking the first game against Georgia Tech on Sept. 7. Georgia closed its non-conference schedule with a record of 9-1 including a tournament title at the Georgia Southern Invitational. The 9-1 record was the best record for a UGA team heading into conference play since the 1992 squad went 12-1 before its first Southeastern Conference contest. The Bulldogs then posted eight conference victories, the most league wins since 2004. Georgia’s 17 total wins and eight SEC wins arguably signified the biggest change for the volleyball program as both totals surpassed the combined total number of overall and conference wins from the 2005 and 2006 seasons. The 2005 team managed 10 wins including five SEC victories, while the 2006 team won just six matches and two league contests. One of the key performers for the Bulldogs in 2007 was junior outside hitter Maria Taylor, who led the SEC with 4.65 kills per game and was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. Against Arkansas on Oct. 5, Taylor posted 29 kills, 11 digs and 10 blocks to record Georgia’s first triple-double since 2003 and just the school’s second in the last 10 years. She also had a team-best 10 double-double matches and eclipsed the 30-kills mark twice with a career-high 33 at Georgia Tech on Sept. 7 and 31 vs. Tennessee on Sept. 23. Taylor finished the season with 498 kills bringing her career total to 1,320. She will enter next season needing 316 kills to break onto Georgia’s top-five all-time kills leaders list. Helping pace Taylor and the rest of the Georgia offense in 2007 was junior transfer setter Mara Martin. Martin joined the Bulldogs from the University of Michigan, where she recorded 1,282 assists for the Wolverines. In 2007, she posted 1,186 assists for the Bulldogs including
a season-best 66 in UGA’s 3-2 win over Tennessee on Sept. 23. Another change in 2007 came when senior Renee Johnson switched positions just prior to the start of the season moving from outside hitter to libero. In that role, she provided Georgia with a team-best 390 digs. Johnson was one of four seniors who saw their Bulldog careers come to a close. Defensive specialist Brooke Burlingame, outside hitter Alexis Morgan and setter Chelsea Young joined Johnson in turning the program over to a stellar class of true freshmen in 2007. The freshmen group was led by outside hitter Erika Clark, who was named to the SEC’s All-Freshman Team after finishing second on the team with 300 kills. Clark was named an SEC Freshman of the Week after helping the Bulldogs to the Georgia Southern Invitational title. Fellow freshman middle hitter/outside hitter Britta Buethe also earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors in 2007 after she totaled a career-high 14 kills against both Wofford and then sixth-ranked Florida. The Bulldogs also had a pair of middle hitters who proved valuable in 2007. Lindsay Gehan led the team in blocks with 144, the 10th-most in a single season in UGA history. Valentina Gonzalez took over a middle blocker position from junior Brooke Peugh midway through the season after Peugh’s season was cut short due to a shoulder injury. Peugh was leading the Bulldogs and was among the SEC’s leaders with a hitting percentage of .365 at the time of her 2007-08 Georgia injury. Nonetheless, Gonzalez filled in by becoming the thirdVolleyball Awards leading blocker on the team by the end of the season with 77 Academic Award: trailing on Gehan and Taylor, who was second on the team Brooke Burlingame with 125 blocks.

UGA Volleyball History
Beyond Georgia / Where Are They Now? During this past offseason, senior Maria Taylor was one of 22 athletes, all with remaining collegiate eligibility, selected to the U.S. Women’s Senior A2 National Team. The squad split into two, 11-player player teams for training sessions and competition in the USA Volleyball Adult Open Championships in May of 2008 in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center. At the event, Taylor helped the U.S. National A2 Blue Team to a bronze medal finish. “Maria’s time spent training and competing among the nation’s best collegiate athletes in our sport gives her another valuable experience she can use as the leader of our team,” Georgia head coach Joel McCartney said. “Her leadership is going to be one of the more important aspects to our program chemistry this season, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Maria in this area.” Following the 2005 volleyball season, Taylor joined the USA Volleyball Select Team and traveled to Argentina to square off with the Argentina National Team and the Junior National Team during the early part of the summer. (Above): Maria Taylor in competition with the U.S. National A2 Blue Team in the Open Division of the 2008 USA Volleyball Championships held at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Strength & Conditioning / Sports Medicine STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
This Is UGA
Developing Champions...Behind The Scenes The success of Georgia volleyball depends not only on in-season, on-field performance, but also on the year-round development of strength and conditioning skills. With top-flight personnel as well as unbeatable facilities, Georgia has the ability to give one-on-one attention to players and help them reach their potential as athletes and volleyball players. Strength training, supervised by Mike Schweigert (pictured left), is a combination of weight training and sport-specific exercises. In August of 2007, Georgia opened the Coliseum Training Facility (pictured below) adjacent to Stegeman Coliseum. The multi-million dollar Training Facility provides the Georgia volleyball team with a fully equipped state-of-the-art weight room. The strength training program is designed to increase strength and joint stability. Joel McCartney’s squad also visits the sand pits, located next to Georgia’s track, for preseason training and conditioning. “Every coaching change presents challenges within a program. A new coach’s style will influence what we do and how we do it. The team has done a fantastic job of getting on board with coach McCartney and his vision and is working hard to reach the goals he has developed for this team,” -- Mike Schweigert, Georgia’s Strength and Conditioning trainer for volleyball
SPORTS MEDICINE The goal of the sports medicine team is two-fold: the prevention and care of injuries. Benjamin Franklin once said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This concept is just as important today in sports medicine as it was over 200 years ago. Prevention of injuries is accomplished through pre-participation physical exams, preventative maintenance, rehab programs, taping, bracing and padding, and education. When injuries do occur, the role of the sports medicine team is to promptly evaluate, diagnose and provide proper care for those injuries. The goal in the event of an injury is to return the athlete to his or her previous performance level as quickly, and as safely, as possible. But when an athlete is injured, his or her best interests are the primary focus of the sports medicine team.

In the fall of 2008, the University of Georgia will welcome the most academically qualified freshman class in UGA history.
As the University of Georgia’s academic curriculum has become much more rigorous, the need for an extensive learning center, complete with adequate computer facilities and tutorial services, is necessary for ongoing academic success of UGA student-athletes. Dedicated in November, 2002, the new $7.2 million Rankin M. Smith, Sr. Student-Athlete Academic Center provides Georgia student-athletes with the most modern and impressive center in college athletics. The 30,000 square-foot center includes computer labs, tutorial rooms, conference centers, counselors’ offices, lecture hall, student lounge and banquet area among other things. It is named for the late Rankin M. Smith, UGA graduate and former owner of the Atlanta Falcons, and made possible by a gift from members of the Smith family. 2008 UGA Freshmen • Just more than 4,800 total students from a record-high 17,300 applicants • 1,253 average SAT score • 3.80 average high school GPA • 53% of the 2008 freshman class were in the top 10 percent of their graduating high school class.
“The Rankin Smith Center is definitely a point of pride for the Athletic Association. We are fortunate to have a state-of-the-art academic facility that enables us to assist our student-athletes with their academic endeavors!” — Director of Athletics Damon Evans

The academic life of Georgia volleyball players is important and is a major focus in the overall experience of student-athletes at UGA. The academic atmosphere is one which encourages learning, growth in personal and career goals and assisting others in becoming the best they can be. Graduation is the focus of Georgia’s student-athletes as they prepare for life after college - and after volleyball.

ENDOWMENTS ENSURE THE FUTURE OF GEORGIA ATHLETICS
The Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program was instituted to allow supporters of the University of Georgia Athletic Association to invest in the educational opportunities of UGA student-athletes. The program is vital to the future of Georgia Athletics by providing the long-term solution of keeping pace with escalating expenses. A gift to establish a scholarship provides income towards funding a scholarship each year and permanently memorializes the donor or any individual in whose honor the scholarship is named. A full scholarship is endowed through a gift of $150,000. The volleyball program at Georgia has three named volleyball scholarship endowments. Leon and Vickie Farmer (pictured left), of Athens, Ga., endowed the first volleyball scholarship to benefit a student-athlete who is pursuing a degree at the University and represents the University on and off the court in a respectable manner. The Michael A. Kahn family (pictured right), of Charlotte, N.C., has endowed two volleyball scholarships to show their support for Georgia’s overall athletic program.

The Legacy of UGA
60
In the last 100 years of intercollegiate athletics, Georgia’s Uga has established himself as the nation’s most well-known mascot. Owned by the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah, Georgia, since Uga I first graced the campus in 1956, each of the Uga mascots is awarded a varsity letter in the form of a plaque, identical to those presented to all Georgia athletes. As determined and published by the Pittsburgh Press, Georgia is the only major college that actually buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Epitaphs
to the dogs are inscribed in bronze, and before each home game flowers are placed on their graves. For the past 20 years, Uga’s jerseys have been custommade at the beginning of each season from the same material used for the players’ jerseys. Uga also has been defined by his spiked collar, a symbol of the position which he holds. Uga’s on-field home is a permanent air conditioned doghouse located next to the cheerleaders’ platform, providing comfort in the heat of August and September.
Uga I
Uga IV
The Uga line began with Uga I, born Hood’s Ole Dan. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus. The practice of having Uga wear a red jersey on the sideline at games began during his reign, which lasted from 1956-67.
Uga IV, born Seiler’s Uga Four, appeared at the Heisman Trophy banquet with Herschel Walker in 1982, the first mascot ever invited to the ceremony. Following his reign from 1981-89, Uga IV was declared “Dog of the Decade” by Vince Dooley in 1991.
Uga II
Uga V
Uga II, born Ole Dan’s Uga, took over at Homecoming, 1966. As he was led to midfield at Sanford Stadium, the student body erupted in a cheer that was picked up by the entire stadium, ‘‘Damn Good Dog!’’ His reign lasted until 1972.
Born Uga IV’s Magillicuddy II and reigning from 199099, Uga V appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which proclaimed him the nation’s best college mascot. Uga V also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.”
Uga III
Uga VI
Uga III, born Seiler’s Uga Three, was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker guided the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. Uga III reigned from 1973-80, retiring on the 100th football game of his career.
Uga VI, born Uga V’s Watchagot Loran, reigned from 1999-2008. Uga VI was featured in an Emmywinning episode of Turner South’s Liars and Legends and as part of a college football segment on NBC Nightly News.

Georgia Traditions Bulldogs
The ringing of the chapel bell after a Georgia victory is a tradition that continues even though freshmen are no longer ordered to do the chore. In the 1890s, the playing field was located only yards from the Chapel and first-year students were compelled to ring the bell until midnight in celebration of a Bulldog victory. Today, students, alumni, and townspeople still rush to the Chapel to ring the bell after a gridiron victory.
The Arch The historic Arch which sits on the edge of North campus was installed in 1864. For years, freshmen were forbidden to walk under the Arch. Violators risked punishment from upperclassmen. Once rigidly enforced, the tradition of hazing of freshmen became passe’. However, many freshmen, learning of the tradition during orientation or from other sources, still choose to honor the century-old tradition.
Silver Britches Silver Britches were an innovation of Coach Wally Butts, who took over as head coach in 1939. The handsome pants, complimented by a bright red jersey, made for a striking uniform. Through the years, fans referred to the Bulldogs’ silver britches in their chants and on banners, but the phrase really caught on in the early 1950s with a cheer, banners and colorful vests that proclaimed ‘‘Go You Silver Britches.’’ Coach Vince Dooley redesigned the uniform when he came in 1964 and used white pants; however, he re-instituted the silver britches in 1980 just prior to Georgia’s national championship season.
How ’Bout Them Dogs! This is a slogan of recent vintage, but one that has become a battle cry of Bulldog fans probably because of its obvious grammatical slur. It first surfaced during the 1970s, especially during the 1978 season when the Bulldogs posted several come-from-behind victories. It gained national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national championship in 1980. A major wire-service used the phrase in its story of Georgia’s victory over Notre Dame.
This is UGA
Many oldtimers say Georgia acquired the nickname, ‘‘Bulldogs,’’ because of the strong ties with Yale. Georgia’s first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man and the early buildings on campus were designed from blueprints of the same building at Yale. But on Nov. 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about school nicknames and said, ‘‘The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.’’ After a 0-0 tie with Virginia in Charlottesville on Nov. 6, 1920, Atlanta Constitution writer Cliff Wheatley used the name ‘‘Bulldogs’’ in his story five times. The name has been used ever since.
The Chapel Bell
Glory, Glory Among the University’s oldest and most lasting traditions is the school fight song, ‘‘Glory, Glory,’’ which is sung to the tune of ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.’’ It was sung at games in the 1890s, but arranged in its present form by Georgia’s immortal musician-composer Hugh Hodgson in 1915.
Between The Hedges A reference to Sanford Stadium that dates back to the early 1930s. The famous English privet hedges that surround Sanford Stadium’s playing field were only one foot high when the stadium was dedicated in 1929 and were protected by a wooden fence. It was natural for a clever sports writer, referring to an upcoming home game, to observe ‘‘that the Bulldogs will have their opponent ‘between the hedges.’’’ At least one old-timer says the phrase was first coined by legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice.
