MARK

PAVLIK

21st year at Penn State Career Record: 482-142 ALMA MATER: PENN STATE, 1982

Having been involved in all aspects of the Penn State men’s volleyball program as a player, assistant coach and head coach, 2008 AVCA National Coach of the Year Mark Pavlik now enters his 21st year at the helm in Happy Valley. Capturing the 2008 NCAA National Championship and helping build the Nittany Lions into one of the premier men’s volleyball powers in the nation, Pavlik has compiled a career record of 482-142, winning more than 77 percent of his matches. Within the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA), Pavlik’s teams have been even more dominating, racking up 223 wins and only surrendering seven league losses in 20 years. A 1982 graduate of Penn State and the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013 EIVA Coach of the Year, Pavlik has experienced Penn State from all perspectives. As a player, he was a setter under legendary coach Tom Tait. For five years prior to his promotion, Pavlik served as Coach Tom Peterson’s top assistant. During that time, the Nittany Lions compiled a 111-39 record and made four NCAA Tournament appearances, highlighted by the 1994 national title. Pavlik’s experience and expertise has not gone unnoticed or unrecognized by those in the volleyball community. “Mark has developed not only one of the best programs in the East, but one of the most outstanding programs in the nation,” said USA Volleyball CEO and former longtime USA Men’s Volleyball Head Coach Doug Beal. “His teams compete with class at the highest levels, year-in and year-out. Mark brings an unusual passion and thoughtfulness, along with a special rapport with his team every year. USA Volleyball is fortunate to have coaches like Mark coaching at the collegiate level, working with athletes and growing the sport.” Drawing from his experiences, Pavlik has developed a unique coaching philosophy that stresses hard work in practice, a relaxed approach to competition, and a determination to develop the well-rounded person and student-athlete. “I feel that the coach’s role is extremely critical in training and creating the environment in which the team can improve,” Pavlik said. “I think I am more concerned about practices than I am about matches. “I have the philosophy that the team is going to win or lose the match. I tend to be more demanding in practice where the work gets done. During the matches, I like to help the team use what they have been trained to use.” As Pavlik explained, lending an ear goes a long way in coaching. “I think the best coaches are the most observant,” Pavlik said. “They are good in convincing young people what it takes to succeed in life, not just on the court. “I do not think about coaching as being the boss. Rather, I am here to see how all the parts fit together. I am in the middle of this storm, and that is where the calm is supposed to be.” Pavlik has guided some of the nation’s greatest players during his tenure. In 1997, he coached Ivan Contreras to the AVCA Player of the Year honor and in 2008 Matt Anderson earned the same award, the only times an Eastern player has earned the prestigious honor. He has coached 22 different players (Ivan Contreras, Jason Kepner, Kevin Hourican, Ed Josefoski, Carlos Ortiz, José Quiñones,

Pavlik has coached 23 different players to 43 All-America awards, including two AVCA National Players of the Year. ••• Zeljko Koljesar, Zach Slenker, Carlos Guerra, Ricky Mattei, Keith Kowal, Nate Meerstein, Matt Proper, Matt Anderson, Luke Murray, Max Holt, Max Lipsitz, Dennis Del Valle, Joe Sunder, Edgardo Goas, Aaron Russell and Nick Goodell) to 43 All-America awards. At least three of his players have earned first team All-East/All-EIVA accolades each season. Across the past 25 years, Pavlik has gained considerable experience coaching at the international, national, collegiate and high school levels. He was a member of the AVCA Board of Directors as well as chairman of the AVCA All-America committee. Pavlik was also named EIVA Coach of the Year from 1995-97 and served as the Head of Delegation for the defending Olympic Champion USA men’s volleyball team at the America’s Cup in Brazil in September, 2008. During the summer of 1995, Pavlik was a member of the coaching staff of the World University Games team that competed in Japan and finished eighth out of 30 teams. Former Nittany Lion captains Ed Josefoski and Kevin Hourican were team members. Pavlik coached the U.S. National Team at the NORCECA competition in Edmonton, Alberta, in the fall of 1995. The USA took home the silver, losing to Cuba in the final. Fourteen years ago, Pavlik was a member of the U.S. staff at the World University Games in Buffalo, N.Y. In the summer of 1994, he directed the East team to a silver medal at the U.S. Olympic Festival. Pavlik again joined the World University Games staff in the summer of 2001 when he served as the U.S. Head of Delegation for the Games, which were held in Beijing, China. Pavlik and the U.S. team brought home the gold, the first-ever gold medal won by the men’s World University Games team, and the first men’s gold medal at any PENN STATE VOLLEYBALL | @PennStateMVBALL

level since the 1988 Olympic Games gold. Current Lion assistant coach Colin McMillan was a player on that WUG team. A native of Derry, Pa., Pavlik served as an assistant to Derry High School coach Rich Schall from 1985-88. Derry won two state titles (1986, ‘88) and finished second in 1987 and third in 1985.

HOSACK

Sixth year at Penn State

ALMA MATER: UC SANTA CRUZ, 1997

Jay Hosack is in his sixth season with the Nittany Lion men’s volleyball team. Hosack joined the Penn State staff for the 2010 season after having served as an assistant coach for the women’s volleyball program at UC Irvine in 2008-09. He assisted the head coach in recruiting and overall player development and performance. In addition, Hosack handled scouting reports of opponents and practice plans. Most recently, Hosack served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s Volleyball U21 Junior National team, where he guided the team to a gold medal at the NORCECA Championship, earning a bid to the 2013 World Championships. The summer following the 2013 season, he helped the team to an 11th-place finish at the 2013 FIVB U21 World Championships in Turkey. Prior to that, Hosack traveled to Japan during the 2010 World Championships to assist the Women’s National Team with scouting opponents and served as an assistant coach with the U.S. Women’s National Team at the 2011 Pan Am Games where the team earned a silver medal. From 2005-08, Hosack served as the associate head coach for both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams at Irvine Valley College. While at IVC, Hosack helped guide the Lasers men’s team to Orange Empire Conference titles in 2005 and 2007 and back-to-back state championships in 2007 and 2008. Hosack earned conference Co-Coach of the Year honors in 2007 and coached the women’s program to a conference crown that same year. Hosack also made a mark in the classroom at IVC, teaching Physical Education volleyball courses. Between 2006-08, Hosack began his tenure as an assistant coach with the U.S. Men’s National team. His responsibilities included creating effective practice plans, handling team data and assisting with player development in preparation for the 2008 Olympic games. He helped guide the U.S. men to a gold medal in Beijing and the 2008 World League Championship. Hosack, who was a member of the UC Santa Cruz men’s volleyball program from 1995-97, returned to his alma mater to serve as the head coach for the men’s and women’s volleyball teams from 2000-04. He was responsible for day-to-day operations, as well as recruiting and fundraising. While at Santa Cruz, Hosack earned UC Santa Cruz Coach of the Year

accolades in 2002 and 2004, guided the men’s team to the national semifinals in 2004 and produced the program’s first All-American. He also negotiated the first UCSC televised match with a local media affiliate, which resulted in improvements in recruiting and increased community support. From there, Hosack spent one season as the assistant coach at Idaho State University where he handled recruiting, travel plans and tape exchange. He also handled practice schedules and the training of fundamentals. Hosack also has tremendous experience at the club level and with numerous camps and clinics. He served as head coach of the Orange Coast Volleyball Club 18-1’s, the Riptides Orange County Club and the Team Santa Cruz Club. He served as the director for the IVC summer camps, the Aldusal Coaching Clinics in El Salvador and the UC Santa Cruz High Performance Camps among many others. Hosack also directs several USA high performance camps at various locations throughout the country. “Being a part of the Penn State family means more than just wearing Blue and White. It means that you are upholding the traditions and expectations the athletics and coaches that came before you have put in place. Although I did not receive my undergrad degree here, I am fully invested in all that is being a Penn State. I am, Penn State.” Hosack received his bachelor’s degree in sociology at UC Santa Cruz and earned a Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University in Irvine, Calif. Hosack and his wife, Stephanie Rae Hosack, reside in Bellefonte, Pa.

MCMILLAN Eighth year at Penn State

ALMA MATER: OHIO STATE, 2000

Colin McMillan begins his eighth season at Penn State and continues to be involved in all aspects of the program, taking care of opponent video breakdown as well as training the middle hitters and blocking defense. “We have some great competition right now in our gym with quality depth at every position, which is only going to make us better and better,” said McMillan. “I am excited to see where this team progresses to throughout the season. Our senior leadership should be a great asset through a tough schedule.” McMillan, a former standout at Ohio State from 1997-2000, has trained within the United States National pipeline and competed internationally for various clubs around the world. A 6-11 middle hitter, McMillan was a member of the 2001 United States team that captured the gold medal at the World University Games in Beijing, China, and also was a member of the U.S. World League team in 2001. From 2000 to 2005, he was the starting middle hitter for the Besiktas Volleyball Club in Istanbul, Turkey and also played for Castelo da Maia in Portugal, Marseille 13PVB in France and Los Rebeldes de Moca in Puerto Rico, winning the Superior League Championship in 2000. McMillan has also coached internationally with USAV. He assisted the Junior Men’s National Team in winning the NORCECA qualifying tournament in Gatineau, Canada in 2010. Most recently, McMillan was an assistant coach for the U.S. Junior National team, which finished fourth in the 2011 World Junior Championships in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

“Colin brought his international experience to the PSU program and especially the middle blockers,” said head coach Mark Pavlik. “He will continue to work with our blocking and defense scheme development and will continue with his video and scouting responsibilities.” McMillan is a four-time All-MIVA selection and a four-year scholar athlete at Ohio State.

2008 NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

IRVINE, Calif., May 3, 2008 - Behind a career night from senior setter Luke Murray, the top-ranked Penn State men’s volleyball team captured its second National Championship title in school history with a four-game win over No. 2 Pepperdine (27-30, 33-31, 30-25, 30-23). Junior outside hitter Matt Anderson was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Championship and joined Murray, junior middle hitter Max Holt and sophomore middle hitter Max Lipsitz along with Pepperdine’s Paul Carroll, J.D. Schleppenbach and Jonathan Winder on the NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team. Anderson became Penn State’s second NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player, joining Ramon Hernandez, who earned the honor in 1994. In the final match of his career, Murray was nothing short of outstanding. The 6-foot setter recorded his first collegiate triple-double with a season-high 63 assists, a career-high 12 digs and a career-high 11 blocks while leading the Nittany Lions to a team hitting percentage of .407. For the NCAA Championship, Murray directed the Nittany Lions to a combined .409 hitting percentage and for the season, Penn State shattered the previous team hitting percentage record of .384 set by the 1994 National Champions, attacking at a .399 clip for the 2008 campaign. Anderson led the Nittany Lions with 29 kills on .451 hitting against Pepperdine while Lipsitz set a career high with 17 kills on .500 hitting. Holt added in 12 kills on .417 hitting while junior opposite Ryan Sweitzer contributed 10 kills. The unsung hero of the match, freshman libero Dennis Del Valle recorded a match-high and career-high-tying 16 digs and for the NCAA Championship, Del Valle racked up 30 total digs. Penn State is the only school outside of California to have its men’s and women’s programs both capture a national championship. The Nittany Lion women’s squad won the title in 1999 and then outlasted Stanford in five games at Arco Arena in Sacramento on Dec. 15, 2007. The Nittany Lions join Stanford, Long Beach State, UCLA and USC as the only programs to accomplish the feat. PENN STATE VS. PEPPERDINE I MAY 3, 2008 I IRVINE CALIF.

A VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE As another perk to winning their respective NCAA National Championships, the 2008 Penn State men’s volleyball team and the 2007 Penn State women’s volleyball team and were invited to the White House to meet with President George W. Bush on Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Both squads enjoyed a tour of the East Wing of the White House before individually meeting with the President. He chatted with each group, asking about the season and their championship, where the student-athletes were from and what they planned to do in the future. The team captains then presented the President with a gift - a jointly-signed Penn State No. 1 volleyball jersey and a red, white and blue volleyball - before taking a group photo. The teams were then escorted to the Blue Room of the White House before being formally announced to the South Lawn, where they descended the stairs to a reserved seating area. The captains of each of the 18 National Championship teams in attendance were then escorted to a stage in front of the group and the President joined them, speaking to the crowd and recognizing each team for their feats.

1994 NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

FORT WAYNE, Ind. May 7, 2008 - Penn State men’s volleyball accomplished what many thought would be impossible in 1994 when it became the first team from anywhere other than California to win a national title. Teams from the Golden State had claimed the previous 24 NCAA titles. Not only was Penn State the only program in men’s volleyball from the East to win a national title, no women’s team east of the Mississippi River had ever won a national title. After qualifying for nine NCAA Tournaments since 1981, Penn State had proven themselves as the top team in the East but defeating a California team to win the title still seemed like a dream. The dream became a reality on April 3, 1994 when the Nittany Lions outlasted perennial powerhouse and 14-time NCAA champion UCLA 9-15, 15-13, 4-15, 15-12, 15-12 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Ind. A record-setting crowd of 7,908 witnessed Penn State come back from an 11-4 deficit in the fourth game to outscore the Bruins 11-1 down the stretch to force a fifth game and seize the momentum. Penn State then jumped out to a 8-4 lead in the final frame, saw UCLA rally to tie at 12-12, but didn’t wilt, scoring the final three points. Senior co-captain Byron Schneider posted the match winning kill and the Lions had made history. Ramon Hernandez recorded one of the most clutch performances in NCAA Tournament history in the championship match by recording 38 kills, a .444 hitting percentage and 10 digs. Ed Josefoski and Schneider each chipped in 18 kills, while Josefoski posted a team-high 12 digs. Both were named to the All-Tournament team. Just a freshman, Ivan Contreras added seven blocks and 14 kills while Kevin Hourican led the team with 11 blocks. Setter Carlos Ortiz recorded 87 assists, seven kills and 10 digs. The NCAA title capped off a 25-3 season that also saw the Lions take the EIVA crown. Penn State recorded victories over some of the top programs that season, defeating Stanford twice, Ball State, Brigham Young and Ohio State three times. The Lions had four players finish the season with over 300 kills, led by Hernandez with 440. Hernandez, Contreras, Josefos­ki and Ortiz were named All-Americans. PENN STATE VS.

Official’s Stand

Bleachers

* There are no Photo Zones on the South side of the court (benches/scorer’s table).

West

* Four Photo Zone seats are on the North bleachers. Seats are reserved for credentialed photographers on a first-come, first-served basis. You must be seated on the bleacher seat - or directly in front of the bleacher with your back touching. If sitting on the floor, your feet must be tucked underneath you and all bags/equipment must be kept out of play at all times. This is a playable area.

* Protocol may change slightly for NCAA  Championship matches.

* You may shoot from the mid-level or track as long as you do not block the view of spectators.

Visiting Team Bench

East

Bleachers

* Two Photo Zones are on the East and West sides of the gym. During all regular-season games, photographers have the entire side of the opposite court where Penn State is playing. PSU cheerleaders are required to cheer behind the PSU team and they will switch sides when the team does. Actual Photo Zones are not marked on the floor but photographers are asked to remain behind the white line marked on the floor about 10 feet from the endline. Please keep this area clear of bags/equipment as it is a playable area. Servers have the entire baseline for use.

* Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
