2009 Schedule

09 09

With a rejuvinated roster and a competitive squad dedicated to being the best in the Southern Conference, Appalachian State University volleyball enters the 2009 campaign with high expectations and much anticipation. After going 7-25 overall, including a 3-15 league mark during the 2008 campaign, the Black and Gold look to get back on the winning track and become a contender for a Southern Conference title yet again. Despite some attrition due to the graduation of two stellar seniors in setter Charissa Clearman and middle blocker Carla Durham, the Mountaineers return a plethora of talent, having three seniors and four highly touted newcomers that will be added into the mix. Head Coach Matt Ginipro looks forward to getting the 2009 season underway. “As a team there is much anticipation for the upcoming season. I am very happy with our schedule and the level of talent that we have. I think our team will greatly benefit from playing a lot of non-conference opponents in the beginning of the season and seeing a variety of lineups and systems.” The Apps play their first three matches on the road at the Four Points Titan Classic in Fullerton, Calif. before returning to the comfy confines of the Holmes Center to host the Appalachian Invitational. North Florida, William and Mary and Tennessee Tech all trek to the High Country for the tournament. The Black and Gold will be looking for revenge against the Tribe as they defeated the Mountaineers in the Tribe Invitational in 2008. It will be the first time in school history that ASU

plays North Florida and the first time since 2006 that the Black and Gold will take on the Golden Eagles. After the home invitational over Labor Day Weekend, ASU’s next eight matches are off the mountain, including its Southern Conference season-opener against The Citadel on September 26. The two teams split the series in 2008, with the Bulldogs beating ASU for the first time ever. Contests against top-notch SoCon foes highlight the Mountaineers’ home slate. ASU plays Chattanooga and defending SoCon North Division champion Samford on back-to-back days, along with hosting SoCon Tournament champion Furman and SoCon South Division champion College of Charleston. The Apps home finale is against Elon on November 14. The road to the Southern Conference Tournament does not get any easier for Ginipro and his squad as only the top two teams from each division in the conference compete at the tournament. “The Southern Conference is always extremely difficult,” Ginipro said. “With the change in the SoCon Tournament, we will be one of several teams vying for a coveted spot. Our team knows that every single SoCon match needs to be treated like a championship final in order for us to achieve our season goals.” The solid returning talent and newcomers will help the Apps throughout the season.

SETTER

With the graduation of Clearman, sophomore Kasey Sauls takes over full-time setting duties. Sauls gained valuable on-court experience in 2008, with action in 27 matches, including nine starts. She was second on the team in assists, with 531.

OUTSIDE HITTER

Senior outside hitter Maja Jechorek

appalachian state VOLLEYBALL

2009 Season Outlook

There is little drop off at the outside hitter position for 2009 and is by far the spot where the Mountaineers have the most depth. Upperclassmen Maja Jechorek, Lauren Swecker and Maggie Seeds all lead the outside hitting corps. Jechorek finished third on the team in kills in ‘08, while Swecker had at least one kill in 31 contests and tallied double-figure kills 11 different times. Seeds’ was impressive in ‘08 as well, who as a freshman totaled 183 kills on the season. The three returners coupled with three newcomers in Meghann Forshey, Kelsey

Senior libero Cassie Engelgau

Kuehner, and Virginia transfer Kelly Rhein give the Apps the ability to post a very potent offense in 2009.

MIDDLE BLOCKER

The Black and Gold have to replace a dominant force in Durham at the middle blocker spot, but the emergence of senior Becca Norris and junior Caroline Sedon last season should provide ASU with a strong at the net presence. The duo combined for 289 kills and 140 blocks in 2008.

LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

With the loss of Heather Kale, senior Cassie Engelgau steps into the spotlight, filling the role of libero for ASU. Engelgau saw action in 31 matches making eight starts in 2008 and finished second on the team with 317 digs, averaging 2.94 per set. The 317 digs put her at fifth on Appalachian’s all-time dig list with 1,193 for her career. She will be joined by freshman Courtney Rhein, who earned all-district and all-county honors in 2008. With the amount of experience and talent, the Mountaineers’ have many goals they hope to reach in 2009. “Our returning players refuse to let another bad season occur again,” Ginipro said. “We have put in a lot of effort to recreate a winning culture and the team is working extremely hard to become one of the top-tier squads in the SoCon. Our annual expectation is to be a SoCon championship program, but beyond that we want to be a much more exciting team to watch on the court. I want our team to be that of one that plays with a ton of energy, heart and effort.”

2008 Review..................................................................................... 30 2008 Results and Team Stats...................................................... 31 2008 Individual Stats..................................................................... 32

The 2008 season proved to be one of many ups and downs for Appalachian State University volleyball. Despite many strong performances, the Mountaineers struggled to find a rhythm and finished the season with a 7-25 record overall, including a 3-14 mark in SoCon play, and tied for fifth in the SoCon North Division. The Black and Gold opened their season playing their first six matches on the road, dropping tough contests to Eastern Michigan, William and Mary and Loyola Marymount. ASU’s first win of the season came at home, downing Winston-Salem State, 3-0, led by 10 kills from Carla Durham. Appalachian continued its stint on the road at the beginning of the season, by competing at the Jefferson Cup in Charlottesville, Va., earning a resounding 3-1 win over Binghamton, before falling in two matches against VCU and ACC power Virginia. ASU then made its final stop on its long road swing in Johnson City, Tenn. to take on former SoCon rival East Tennessee State. The Mountaineers’ play was impressive, capturing wins in the first two sets, but the Buccaneers rallied a comeback winning the next three sets to hand the Apps a heart-breaking 3-2 loss. Returning home to the Holmes Center proved to do the Mountaineers’ some good as they posted a stout 2-1 record at the Appalachian Invitational. ASU fell to Wake Forest, 3-1, in four close sets in

2008 Season in Review

the first match of the tournament as Lauren Swecker paced the Apps on the offensive front with 14 kills, but then turned around to trounce NC A&T, 3-0. Ending the tournament on a strong note, the Black and Gold defeated former Mountaineer head coach Chris Redding’s Charlotte squad in three sets with Kasey Sauls and Heather Kale turning in impressive performances. The SoCon season proved to be quite a challenge for Appalachian, as it captured just three wins, but lost four matches by a score of 3-2. Three of those losses came at the hands of SoCon Tournament champion Furman, SoCon North Division champion Samford and SoCon South Division champion College of Charleston. The league season started on a tough note as ASU fell in its home SoCon home opener to UNC Greensboro. The Apps were unable to rebound from the loss, as the Phoenix then pushed past the Mountaineers in a narrow 3-2 defeat. Despite three Apps recording doublefigure kills and two tallying double-figure digs, the Phoenix rallied after being down two sets to win the next three. The road did not get much easier for Appalachian, dropping its next six matches, before earning its first league victory at Wofford. In the solid win over the Terriers, the Mountaineers’ launched a comeback after being down two sets to one to win the final two and notch a 3-2 victory. Sophomore Caroline Sedon and freshman Maggie Seeds each posted a team-high 15 kills and Engelgau recorded 16 digs. On November 5, the Mountaineer dominated Western Carolina, beating the Catamounts, 3-1, at home. In the contest, Maja Jechorek tallied a game-high 15 kills, while Engelgau had another double-digit dig performance with 15. The final victory of the season came on the road as Appalachian netted revenge against The Citadel, defeating the Bulldogs on their home court 3-0. The 2008 season came to a close on November 16, as SoCon foe College of Charleston proved to be too much for the Black and Gold, defeating the Apps 3-0. On the offensive front, Durham paced ASU with a team best 268 kills, while Swecker finished second on the team in the category with 260. Freshman Maggie Seeds was a strong contributor for

CARLA DURHAM

Appalachian as well finishing third on the squad in kills with 183. Charissa Clearman dished out 649 assists to top the category, while freshman Kasey Sauls was not too far behind with 531 on the season. Heather Kale and Engelgau led the team in digs. Engelgau’s 317 digs on the season moved her into fifth on Appalachian’s all-time career dig list with 1,193. Durham finished her career with the Black and Gold in style, leading ASU in blocks on the season with 113 and littering ASU’s record book. She finished second on Appalachian’s career block assist list with 390 and ninth all-time in hitting percentage, ending her tenure with a .245 percentage. She also holds down the second and fifth place spots on the individual season records list in block assists and is currently eighth on the individual match records block assists list. Fellow senior Clearman closed out her time with the Mountaineers recording 848 assists, putting her at ninth on the individual career records assists list. The squad also kept with its strong academic performances during the 2008 campaign, as six Apps had a 3.2 gpa or better and picked up SoCon fall academic all-conference honors. Appalachian graduated two seniors in Charissa Clearman and Carla Durham and returns four starters and four letterwinners for 2009.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which enters its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earning that classification in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until

1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. The Commissioner most recent addition, Samford University, jOHN Iamarino joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2008. The Bulldogs’ addition was announced in March 2007. East Tennessee State, which joined the SoCon in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year. The SoCon also sponsors two all-sports awards, the Commissioner's Cup for men's programs and the Germann Cup for women's teams. In all, Appalachian has claimed 28 of the last 31 Commissioner's Cups along with each of the first six Germann Cups. In both 2005-06 and 2006-07, the Mountaineers swept the awards, winning both. John Iamarino became the comissioner of the Southern Conference on January 30, 2006. Iamarino came to the SoCon after nine years as commissioner of the Northeastern Conference. He replaced Dr. Danny Morrison, who left his post at the SoCon after four years to become the director of athletics at Texas Christian University.

For the fourth-straight year and 29th time overall, Appalachian State University won the Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup in 2008-09, awarded annually to the conference’s top all-around men’s sports program. On the strength of SoCon titles in football, cross country and indoor track and field, Appalachian compiled 87.5 points in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, easily out-distancing second-place Chattanooga (70.5 pts.).

NO. 9 TRACI BLANKENSHIP

Traci Blankenship became the only Mountaineer volleyball player to have her uniform No. 9 retired on November 4, 1985. The recognition is a special one at Appalachian, as Blankenship is one of only five student-athletes in ASU history to have their number retired. A standout player, she garnered all-Southern Conference acclaim all four seasons. She received first-team all-league plaudits her final three campaigns, and was an all-SoCon Tournament selection all four years. Blankenship was named Southern Conference Player-of-the-Year in 1982, 1983 and 1985. She was the Mountaineers’ team MVP as a junior and senior and the Appalachian State Athlete-of-theYear for the 1984-85 academic year. She earned USVBA Regionals Most Valuable Player accolades in 1984.

A fine all-around player Blankenship set school single-season records in digs and service aces. She still ranks among the program’s all-time top 10 in service aces and solo blocks. Her 937 digs in 1985 remains Appalachian’s all-time best in the category. A handful of years beyond her final match, Blankenship’s impressive career continued to collect her plaudits. Following the 1989 season she was named to both the ASU all-Decade team as well as to the Southern Conference all-decade team. She served as a team captain from her sophomore through her senior campaign. Noted to be a fine setter and attacker, during her four-year career, the Mountaineers posted an 89-34 record. Her junior season the Mountaineers dominated the league, winning both the regular season and tournament crowns. Blankenship graduated in 1986, but remained a part of the volleyball program as assistant coach. In her first season on the

bench, ASU suffered only one league blemish during the regular season and earned the conference title. She was elevated to head coach of the Mountaineers the following year. From 1987 to 1991 Blankenship guided the Mountaineers to a 79-76 mark. A patient teacher of the game, in only her second season at the helm, Blankenship was chosen Southern Conference Coachof-the-Year. In 1989, her team ranked No. 6 in the nation in service aces (3.01 per game). The following year the Mountaineers returned to the top of the league, by winning the regular season championship. The squad came one game away from the conference tournament the same season. 1991 saw Appalachian claim the Southern Conference tournament championship and make its first-ever national post-season appearance in the NIVC tournament. Traci Blankenship concluded her career at Appalachian following the 1991 season. She finished with a record of 79-72 as head coach of the Mountaineers. Her legacy of excellence continued on following her departure from her alma mater. The program won three regular-season and two tournament championships over the next four years. On September 5, 1998, Blankenship was one of three inducted in to the Appalachian State Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame presented the plaudit before a crowd of more than 13,000 at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

As ASU's head coach, Traci Blankenship (center) led the Mountaineers to the 1990 SoCon regular-season title, the 1991 SoCon Tournament championship and the program's first-ever national post-season appearance.

CHARLIE COBB

In his first four years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 48 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three- consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shattering regular-season attendance records at “The Rock” with a school-record 28,227 fans per game piling into Kidd Brewer Stadium during the 2008 regular season — more than 140 percent of the stadium’s ‘08 seating capacity of 16,650. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales since his arrival in 2005. • Four-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Two Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • 35 percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarships for student-athletes, raising nearly $2.5 million in 2008-09 — reaching the $2 million threshold for the second-straight year time and up over $1.8 million from the year before Cobb’s arrival. • Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to $11 million in 2009-10. Additionally, Cobb has spearheaded Appalachian’s $50 million facilities enhancement campaign, which will come to fruition this fall with the completion of the centerpiece of the campaign, the 120,000-square-foot Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex. The seven-story complex, located behind KBS’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 suites The facilities enhancements has also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 41-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90. They have an 11-year-old son, Harrison, and a eight-year-old daughter, Branan.

Boone, North Carolina

Boone lies nestled in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians and is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Appalachian State University began as Watauga Academy in 1899 to educate the mountain children and ultimately to prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. Boone and Appalachian grew up together in the secluded wilderness, with few roads and no railroad linking them to the communities that lay in pockets below. This relative isolation allowed both town and school to develop strong character through overcoming adversity and created a unique heritage for both. Boone is now a bustling university town characterized by beautiful mountain scenery, distinct four-season weather, mountain heritage culture and casual living – and it is the center of tourism and commerce for Watauga County and the surrounding High Country. Outdoor activities, cultural events, fine dining and unique shopping bring visitors from all over the world to experience the friendly, welcoming face of this mountain town. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as its top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. Boone is a year-round playground for business meetings and conferences, as well as leisure. The cool summers, dazzling colors of fall and serene winters offer something for every nature lover. An unusually wide array of quality arts and cultural programming enhance the Boone community. The university’s An Appalachian Summer Festival, a month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. Notable performers include Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. The jewel of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a robust community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of new and historically important artwork, and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life. That’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
