2015 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL
SEASON PREVIEW
The Mountaineers are no longer surprises in the Sun Belt as the coaches picked Appalachian to finish fourth in the league this year, opposed to seventh last season. Both Paige Brown and Emily Corrigan earned preseason first-team all-Sun Belt honors, with Brown also earning preseason Setter of the Year. “Congrats to Paige and Emily for being named to the Preseason All-Conference team. They’ve worked hard to have a great senior year and are really pushing this team to win a championship,” said head coach Matt Ginipro. “I think it will be another challenging year in the Sun Belt and we’re looking forward to finally having another team across the net to see the results of our productive preseason.”
2015 PREVIEW
Appalachian State University volleyball will embark on its second season in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference. The Mountaineers ended last season with a 21-10 overall record and 11-9 mark with in the Sun Belt in their inaugural campaign. Of those 21 victories a season ago, the Mountaineers rallied off 13-straight to open the season, including an impressive 3-1 win over No. 24 Louisville at the Cardinals’ tournament.
App State opens the season at Clemson at the Big Orange Bash. The team’s first match will be against Charleston Southern at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August 28.
THE RETURNERS The Mountaineers will return nine student-athletes from the 2014 season, including first-team all-Sun Belt selections - Paige Brown and Emily Corrigan. Brown earned Sun Belt Setter of the Year for her efforts last season. Brown drove the Mountaineers’ bus on offense a season ago - starting all 31 matches and ranking first on the team in a career-high total assists (1,324) and career-high assists per set (11.70). Brown posted 30 assists or more in 28 matches, including back-to-back 60 assist matches against UL Monroe (10/19) and at Arkansas State (10/24). She earned Sun Belt Setter of the Week six times en route to the postseason honor. Brown led the country in assists for four consecutive weeks (9/14-10/15). On the outside, Corrigan also started all 31 matches en route to leading the offense with 496 kills - good for ninth in program history. She also ranked first on the team with 4.39 kills per set and was ranked as high as fourth in the nation last year in that category (9/21). Corrigan earned Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week three times during the season.
Senior Paige Brown digit digs in 28 matches.
Also returning on the outside for Ginipro’s squad is outside hitter Jess Keller and the Mountaineers key defensive specialist and libero, Meghan Mahoney. Keller made eight starts, while appearing in all 31 matches for the Black and Gold last season. She finished second on the team behind Corriga in total kills (369) and kills per set (3.39). Mahoney played in every single set of the 2014 season on her way to 487 total digs to lead the team. She averaged a team-high 4.31 digs per set and totaled a season-high 28 against UL Monroe (10/19), while notching double-
The Mountaineers also are returning junior outside hitter Sloan Evans, sophomore libero/defensive specialist Olivia Loeffler, junior Olivia Reed and junior Kati Stammen and sophomore middle blocker Cassidy Stephenson.
THE NEWCOMERS The Mountaineers gained two freshman for the 2014 campaign, including middle blocker Cassidy Stephenson and libero/defensive specialist Olivia Loeffler. Stephenson hails from Wilmington, N.C. where she attended Hoggard High School. Despite orginally committing to play soccer at UNC, Stephenson changed her mind and decided volleyball was the sport she wanted to continue to play. The 6-1 player led Hoggard to a conference championship with 197 kills, 51 blocks and a hitting percentage over .400. She was named AllArea three times and Mideastern Conference Player of the Year in 2013. Loeffler joins the Mountaineers after prepping at North Lincoln High in Lincolnton, N.C. Leoffler has been named the team MVP twice, all-conference twice and the Denver Weekly’s Player of the Year in 2013 and 2012. She helped lead her team to a conference championship during her junior season while also being named to Lake Norman’s all-tournament team twice. The Mountaineer coaching staff brought in nine new student-athletes for the 2015 campaign over the off-season. Highlighing that bunch for the Mountaineers is junior transfer Ashton Gregory. A transfer from Furman University, Gregory spent the past two seasons dominating the Southern Conference. As a freshman, she was named SoCon Freshman of the Year and only turned it up as a sophomore.

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL 2015 PREVIEW
SEASON PREVIEW Gregory started all 29 matches a year ago, averaging 3.39 kills per set and posting a .376 hitting percentage. She led the team in blocks per set with 1.27, including 44 solo touches, ranking second in the NCAA. She was named SoCon Player of the Year for her play during the 2014 season and was tabbed as an All-American Honorable Mention award recipient. Freshman Brooke Royals comes to Boone after leading her high school (Steinbrenner HS in Tampa, Fla.) in assists for three-straight years and leading her team to two state semifinals, two regional championships and four district championships. The Mountaineers have also added transfers’ Courtney Sullivan (UNCG) and Vera Horstmann (Northwest College), as well as, freshmen Savana Gandy, Eden Hilbert, Melissa McMath, Alana Shoff and Jenna Talbert.
THE COACHES The Mountaineers return nine student-athletes, while doubling that number in terms of newcomers. Appalachian State returns Matt Ginipro for his ninth season at the helm of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as, associate head coach Chad Willis for his third campaign for the Black and Gold. In his ninth year, Ginipro led the program to the most wins under his tutelege (21) and an 11-9 mark in the program’s first season in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2014, the Mountaineers opened the season on a 13-game winning streak, including a 3-1 victory over a then No. 24 nationall ranked Louisville Cardinal program. Ginipro now holds a 126-125 overall record as the head coach at Appalachian and saw three players earn all-conference honors a season ago. Paige Brown earned first-team honors, while also being awarded with Sun Belt Setter of the Year. Both Emily Corrigan (first-team) and Lauren Gray (second-team) were recognized by the coaches. Chad Willis is set to begin his third year in the High Country as Ginipro’s associate head coach. Willis, primarily in charge of leading the setters and coordinating the Head Coach Matt Ginipro Mountaineers’ offense, helped Paige Brown top her career-high assist total (1,324) and assists per set total (11.70) en route to her postseason Setter of the Year honor. Willis also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. The 2015 Mountaineer recruiting class was tabbed by PrepVolleyball as an honorable mention for the nation’s top class. With Anna Wagner accepting the head coaching position at Brevard College over the summer, it left a void for Ginipro to fill. He found the perfect fit and added Amber Miehlke to the staff as an assistant coach. Miehlke comes to Boone from Oakland University where she was a standout player from 2009-12. She was a volunteer assistant for the Golden Grizzlies in 2014 and helped them to a 22-10 overall record, the program’s first 20-win season, as well as, Horizon League regular season and tournament championships. Also new to the bench this season is volunteer assistant coach, Efrain Negron. After spending one season in the same role at Western Texas, Negron makes his way back to western Carolina. Negron was a four-year starter at the libero position on the men’s team at nearby Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C. He was a three-time all-conference player, while also being the all-time leader in program history for digs and digs per set. He traveled to Hawaii and Japan to compete in the 24th Asian Pacific Cup as member of the USA volleyball team.
THE SCHEDULE Appalachian 2015 schedule features 13 home matches and 16 regular-season conference matches. The Mountaineers kick off their season at Clemson for the Big Orange Bash that features matchups with Charleston Southern (Aug. 28), UNCW (Aug. 29) and host Clemson (Aug. 29).

Ginipro’s Comments: “Alana is a big, physical middle hitter and a genuinely fun person to be around. Once she gets used to the speed of the college game, I think she will be a big presence for us at the net. With Lauren Gray and Hailey Kerr graduating, it was important for us to find a middle hitter who could possibly get on the court right away.”
COURTNEY SULLIVAN
6-0 • SOPHOMORE • MIDDLE BLOCKER COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. WALLED LAKE NORTHERN UNCG

Ginipro’s Comments: “With Lauren Gray graduating, we were in need of finding a scoring middle hitter. I believe Courtney can fill that role for us. She is very good off one foot and will fit in our offensive system right away. I’m excited to get her in the gym this summer and see what she can do.”

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL
SUN BELT SUN BELT CONFERENCE
The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference. Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations. The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference. In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory. An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential. The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March.

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL SUN BELT CONFERENCE
SUN BELT/COMMISIONER KARL BENSON Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls. In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series. In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat. While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.” The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football only members. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (UL Monroe), CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).
SUN BELT COMMISSIONER KARL BENSON Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on Thursday, February 16, 2012 and officially began his tenure on March 15, 2012. Under Benson’s leadership, the Sun Belt has added five new full-time members — Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State — and two football-only partners — Idaho and New Mexico State — to give the league a strong membership of 11 full-time members and 11 football-playing institutions. A respected leader in the college athletics community, Benson has served as the President of the NCAA Football Board of Directors and on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 28 seasons. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006.
Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2014 after majoring in broadcast journalism in the Annenberg School of Communication.

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL FACILITIES
FACILITIES Appalachian volleyball enters its 15th season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as the home of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field programs. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses App State’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the App State-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event.
The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. In addition to the stateof-the-art amenities that the Holmes Center has to offer, the atmosphere for Appalachian sporting events remains one of the most spirited in the Southern Conference. The Appalachian student section is a priority at the Holmes Center, as student seating is located at mid-court for both volleyball and basketball. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whose names adorn the university’s convocation center. Former App State Chancellor, Francis T.

MORE THAN A LOCATION Appalachian’s beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is more than a location – it profoundly shapes how our community lives, works and learns together. Our commitment to sustainability is a tradition, not a trend, and Appalachian is an active steward of North Carolina’s interconnected financial, cultural and natural resources.

Because of this and much more, Appalachian ranks No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satisfaction & Happiness with Choice.”
