COACHES

HEAD COACH SEVENTH SEASON AS HEAD COACH 12TH SEASON OVERALL AT ILLINOIS Kevin Hambly has taken Illinois volleyball to new heights in his tenure in Champaign. In his six years as head coach, Illinois is 140-59 with five trips to the NCAA Sweet 16, including 2011’s historic run to the national championship match.

to the NCAA Tournament, earning the No. 13 overall seed. The Illini defeated Morehead State and No. 22 Marquette to return to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in five years under Hambly, where No. 19 Purdue finally ended Illinois’ run.

As a result, Hambly was named 2011 Volleyball Magazine’s National Coach of the Year. Following the season, director of athletics Mike Thomas announced an extension of Hambly’s contract through the 2016 season. After 2014, Hambly received an additional three-year extension, signing him through 2019.

Three Illini earned postseason honors under Hambly in 2013, as sophomore Jocelynn Birks was named ThirdTeam AVCA All-America, First-Team All-Northeast Region and was a unanimous All-Big Ten selection. Senior Jennifer Beltran, who became Illinois’ all-time career digs leader early in the season and finished ranked second all-time in the Big Ten, captured AllAmerica honorable mention and All-Region honors, while junior Liz McMahon claimed All-Region and AllBig Ten honorable mentions.

In 2014, Hambly’s Illini knocked off seven ranked opponents, including winning at eventual national champion No. 5 Penn State and No. 13 Nebraska in the same week to become the first team since 1991 and third ever to win in Happy Valley and Lincoln in the same season. The Illini went a nearly-flawless 14-1 at home, were ranked in the top 16 all season, and took just one 3-set loss on the year, finishing 26-8 over and placing third in the Big Ten at 16-4. Sweeps of Murray State and Iowa State punched a ticket to his fifth NCAA Regional, where the #9-seeded Illini were halted by #8-seed Florida in an epic five-set battle with a 16-14 final-set score. Several Illini took home awards in 2014, as Jocelynn Birks became a two-time All-American with a Second Team selection, and Liz McMahon became the first Illini ever to earn the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, also earning an All-America and All-Big Ten honorable mention along with Academic All-District. Additionally, Anna Dorn became the first Illini to tally three Academic All-District First Team awards and was the fourth Illini in program history to be tabbed as an Academic All-American. In 2013, Hambly guided the Fighting Illini through the most difficult schedule in the nation, in which the Illini captured 10 wins during a school-record 22 matches against ranked opponents. The Illini were the only team in the country to face all four teams that reached the Final Four and took on eight of the 10 teams that finished the year ranked in the AVCA Top 10. Despite the monstrous slate, Hambly led the Orange and Blue to a fourth-place finish in the Big Ten in a year in which the conference was arguably the best it had ever been and by far the strongest conference in the nation. After a rough non-conference slate, the Illini entered Big Ten play sitting at 4-6 on the year. A tremendous second-half push in which the Orange and Blue won seven of their final nine matches punched their ticket 4 // 2015 ILLINOIS VOLLEYBALL

In a “tough act to follow” situation, a young 2012 team faced several challenges. With two rookies and a sophomore replacing a pair of All-American outside hitters, Hambly’s team had a lot to learn in seemingly no time at all, facing the third-most difficult schedule in the nation. The Illini swept No. 15 Iowa State in the 2012 home opener, then closed out the pre-conference season with a sweep of the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational, which included a road victory over eventual NCAA champion No. 6 Texas. Other season highlights included a come-from-behind 3-2 victory at Michigan State, in true-freshman setter Alexis Viliunas’ first career start, and a 3-1 victory over future NCAA semifinalist Michigan on Senior Night. In 2011, Illinois reached several milestones. The team swept the season series from four-time defending NCAA champion Penn State for the first time in school history. Illinois was the last team to lose its first match, starting the season 20-0 and resulting in the school’s first-ever No. 1 ranking. A total of six schools held the No. 1 ranking, but none for longer than Illinois. The Illini won the Gainesville Regional to advance to the program’s first National Semifinal since 1988. The Illini defeated No. 1 USC in the National Semifinal in San Antonio in an epic five-set match. The final point lasted more than a minute and was one of the top plays on ESPN’s SportsCenter that night. With the victory over the Women of Troy, the Illini advanced to meet UCLA in the school’s first-ever national championship match. Following the championship run, Hambly was elected president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, a post he took over in January 2013 and which runs through December 2015.

Kevin Hambly serves as the President of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Illinois went 26-6 in his first year as head coach, finishing in sole possession of second place in the Big Ten and reaching the Sweet 16. His second year as a head coach brought victories over a pair of No. 2-ranked teams, including eventual national champion Penn State, who fell to the Illini in five sets in front of the first sellout at Huff Hall in 18 years. Since his arrival in Champaign, the Illini have garnered four top-10 recruiting classes, including the 2015 Class that ranked No. 1 in the nation with a pair of top-10 recruits, No. 3 Jordyn Poulter and No. 10 Ali Bastianelli. The 2011 team included 11 players who were top-60 prospects of their respective class, including Liz McMahon, who was No. 3; Anna Dorn, who was No. 6; Colleen Ward, who was No. 7; and Michelle Bartsch, who was No. 16. The 2015 team included an additional eight top-60 prospects, including the pair of top-10 incoming freshmen, as well as No. 22 Michelle Strizak and No. 26 Jocelynn Birks. Hambly’s teams have gone head-to-head with some of the biggest powers of the game, both in the Big Ten and in nonconference play, and have done so with a measure of success. The Illini are 45-16 in the preconference schedule in the six years with Hambly as head coach and have finished in the top four in the Big Ten conference five out of his six times, including three runner-up performances. A total of eight players have earned 13 All-America honors, including outside hitter Laura DeBruler, who became the fourth First-Team AVCA All-American in 2009, and Ward, who accomplished that feat in 2011. In addition, Bartsch was named a 2011 First Team AllAmerican by Volleyball Magazine. The Illini have produced in the classroom, combining for 54 Academic All-Big Ten honors in the last six seasons, while Johannah Bangert and Anna Dorn became the third and fourth Illini ever to garner

Academic All-America honors under his guidance. The Illini have also led the Big Ten in Academic All-Big Ten selections twice under his tenure, collecting 10 in 2012 and 11 in 2014. The interest in the volleyball program is at a height that hasn’t been seen in a generation. Hambly is involved in the community, a regular requested speaker for area groups. He conducts Chalk Talks for the Illinois volleyball booster club, “The Networkers,” before every home game, giving fans an inside look at the scouting report for that night’s match. Membership in that organization continues to grow. That has translated in a spike in attendance where the team had three crowds of 3,900 or more in 2011, including a sellout crowd of 4,261 in an undefeated showdown with Purdue. The 2012 season featured five crowds of 3,000 or more, including the largest opening-night crowd in Illini history, when 3,770 fans “Stuffed” Huff for the home opener against No. 15 Iowa State and the 2011 NCAA banner-raising ceremony. Illinois had an additional five 3,000+ crowds in 2013, including a mark of 7,061 against Iowa at State Farm Center, the largest volleyball-only crowd in program history. The fan base in 2013 set a new all-time record for average attendance, with a mean crowd size of 3,117. Illinois posted its second-consecutive 3,000+ average in 2014, including breaking the all-time Huff record with a sellout crowd of 4,536 against No. 6 Wisconsin on the first-ever “IlliNOISE Night.” Thirteen of the top 20 all-time Illinois crowds have come in the Hambly era, including all four of the 4,500+ crowds ever recorded. Hambly was named the seventh head coach in the program’s history and just the third in the last quarter century on Jan. 8, 2008. He replaced Don Hardin, who retired after 13 years as program head at Illinois. Hambly, who had a number of years of international coaching experience, served as assistant coach for the Fighting Illini for five years prior, the first two years as a volunteer assistant and the last three as a full-time assistant. His impact was felt in every area of the program. Hambly was in charge of practice planning, training and scouting as well as recruiting in his final years as an assistant. The level of play was raised over his time at Illinois, bringing with him many of the techniques and philosophies he developed under Toshi Yoshida, the U.S. National team coach for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. With Hambly serving as an assistant coach, the U.S. went from 12th to first in the Federation of International Volleyball (FIVB) world rankings in the nine months leading up to the games for just the second time.

Virginia finished in the Top 25 in the Director’s Cup in each year of Thomas’ tenure there while at the same time finishing in the Top 10 nationally in student-athlete graduation rates. Under Thomas’ direction, Akron rose from last place to second among Mid-American Conference schools in the Director’s Cup annual rankings. Simultaneously, Akron vaulted from last to second place in the MAC Academic Achievement Awards. Thomas increased the financial base of the Akron athletics program through increasing corporate sponsorship levels by 750 percent and boosted annual giving to athletics to its highest level in the school’s history. Community support was rallied, with record increases shown in both football and basketball attendance. During this time period, the Zips won their first and only MAC football championship and participated in the program’s lone FBS bowl game in history. Thomas’ hire of men’s basketball coach Keith Dambrot led to unparalleled success on the hardwood with Dambrot’s program becoming one of the most successful in the MAC over the past 11 seasons, including eight postseason appearances. While at Akron, support services and facilities for academic support for student-athletes were significantly improved, resulting in jumps in grade point averages and graduation rates of UA student-athletes. During his career in collegiate athletics, Thomas has coordinated over $350 million in facility construction and renovation, including $25 million in capital improvements at Akron that featured a new indoor fieldhouse and golf facility, a football practice complex, and a softball facility. He also spearheaded the new on-campus football stadium and was instrumental in the development and launching stages of the $61 million facility, which opened in September of 2009. At Virginia, Thomas served as a member of the senior staff and was sport oversight for eight programs. He served as the department liaison for the $86 million renovation to UVA’s football stadium and oversaw several other capital projects. In addition, Thomas served as the Chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Committee and also served on the ACC Sportsmanship Committee. Recognized for his administrative acumen by his peers, Thomas has served on several national and conference committees, including the NCAA Division I Championship/ Sports Management Cabinet (where he also served as the NCAA men’s basketball liaison to the cabinet and as a member of the cabinet’s four-person Administrative Committee) and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee.

Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Postseason Bowl Licensing Subcommittee and the Division IA Athletics Director’s Association Legislative Review Committee.

Twice during his career, Thomas has received distinction for his efforts and dedication as a director of athletics, garnering the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award in 2005 at Akron and then again in April of 2008 at Cincinnati. He has been recognized by the Cincinnati Sports Professionals Network as the 2009-10 Sports Executive of the Year.

Born Elizabeth Marie Prince on Oct. 4, 1996. Daughter of Chuck and Laura Prince. Has an older brother, Zack. Her mother, Laura, played basketball at Eastern Illinois from 1986-1990. Academic All-State Honorable Mention in 2014. Lettered in academics in 2012 and 2014.

Three things on your “bucket list”: Win the NCAA Championship, travel to Africa, see the Eiffel Tower. What are you most proud of and why? My high school team’s back-to-back state championships my sophomore and junior year. Person you admire and why? Mike Lingenfelter, because he changed my life drastically in the 8 months I got to spend with him. His passion continues to inspire me every day. If you won $10 million, what would you buy? A house in Texas for my parents and a blue Jeep Wrangler. Weirdest quirk: I color code my Skittles, then eat them by twos, then give away any odd ones If you could have a super power, what would it be and why? To apparate like in Harry Potter, because then I could get wherever I needed to be quickly and easily. Favorite athlete: My mom, Laura! Favorite Musical Group: Coldplay If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose and why? Africa, because I loved learning its history and culture. Also, ever since I learned the Lion King was in Africa, I’ve always wanted to see real lions there! Secret talent: I can put my leg behind my head. Favorite subject in high school: Calculus or ceramics Crazy thing you dream of doing someday: Drive an Indy Car Who did you idolize growing up: My Dad Why Illinois? After I visited, I knew it was home. It was one of those moments where everything just clicked. I immediately bought in to what Kevin wants to accomplish, and I love the culture that has been built by past and present players.

2014 SEASON IN REVIEW

MARQUEE VICTORIES HEADLINE 2014 CAMPAIGN DEFEATING THE CHAMPS For the third time in five years, Illinois defeated the team that would go on to win the national championship, as the Illini upended then-No. 5 Penn State in four sets on Oct. 11 in Happy Valley. Following the loss, which was just the third home conference loss for the Nittany Lions in 10 years and the second at the hands of the Illini, Penn State rattled off 20 straight victories, dropping just four sets in the process, to capture its sixth NCAA title in eight years. The Oct. 11 contest marked the eighth straight season that the national championship had to go through Illinois, with conference foe Penn State facing the Illini in all six of its title seasons dating back to 2007, including a loss at Huff Hall in 2010 in the midst of the unprecedented four-peat. The 2012 National Champion Texas Longhorns fell on their home court, 3-2, to the Illini on Sept. 14 before running through 17 straight regular-season wins and claiming the NCAA title, while UCLA had to defeat Illinois in the 2011 national championship match to earn its fourth NCAA title.

Liz McMahon became the first Illini in any sport to win the prestigious Senior CLASS Award in 2014.

BIRKS, McMAHON TABBED AS AVCA ALL-AMERICANS Illini pin hitters Jocelynn Birks and Liz McMahon were both named to AVCA All-America teams, as Birks earned Second Team honors after a 2013 Third Team selection and McMahon was tabbed as an Honorable Mention. ANNA DORN NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA After becoming the first Illini in program history to earn three First Team Academic All-District awards, senior Anna Dorn was named Capitol One Academic All-America® Second Team on Dec. 11, becoming just the fourth Illini ever to earn the prestigious award. She joins Director of Operations Johannah Bangert (First, 2010), Disa Johnson (Second, 1987) and Laura Bush (First, 1989 & 1990) on the short list, with Bangert being the only other Illini to garner three All-District selections. Dorn completed her Illini career ranked second all time in career block assists, fourth in total blocks and sixth in hitting percentage. The kinesiology major posted a 3.96 cumulative GPA and has been accepted to graduate school to study physical therapy. In addition to Dorn, senior Liz McMahon was named to the Academic All-District Second Team, running a 3.85 cumulative GPA with a major in recreation, sport and tourism. 50 // 2015 ILLINOIS VOLLEYBALL

ATTENDANCE RECORD SHATTERED ON ILLINOISE NIGHT »» On Oct. 4, 2014, the Orange and Blue hosted the first-ever IlliNOISE Night promotion, during which the Illini faithful sold out Huff Hall with a record crowd of 4,536 fans. In the first official sellout since 2011, Illinois fans broke the 22-year-old record of 4,316 set at the 1992 NCAA Regional vs. Stanford after the 2014 summer renovations increased listed capacity by nearly 500 seats.

»» After breaking the record for average crowd size with 3,117 fans per match in 2013, the Illini registered the third season in program history with an average of more than 3,000 fans, finishing the year at 3,027. They brought in the thirdmost average and total fans, behind only 1992 and 2013. Additionally, with an average of 3,111 fans per match during the regular season, the Illini set a new all-time regular-season Huff Hall record, as Illinois played two matches at State Farm Center in 2013 and sold out all three 1992 NCAA Tournament matches. »» Illinois went 14-1 at home this season, winning the first 18

»» Illinois has had at least five home matches with over 3,000 fans in each of the past three seasons, and this year’s seven 3,000+ crowds were second only to the 1992 season, when 11 of the Illini’s 17 home matches featured crowds of 3,000 or more. Illinois’ 2011 NCAA finals run included four 3,000+ crowds, including two over 4,000, and three crowds of at least 3,000 were recorded in 1993. LIONS FALL AT REC HALL On Oct. 11, the Fighting Illini made history, knocking off defending national champion No. 5 Penn State on its home court in front of nearly 3,600 fans at Rec Hall. It was just the third time in program history that Illinois returned from Happy Valley victorious and the first time ever in less than five sets. The Illini are one of just two Big Ten teams to have defeated Penn State at home since 2004 and became the first to top the Nittany Lions at Rec Hall in less than five sets since Minnesota swept PSU on Oct. 18, 2003. After falling to Ohio State, 3-2, at home on Oct. 20, 2004, Penn State did not lose another home Big Ten match for more than seven seasons, when the No. 1 Illini ended the four-time defending national champions’ 68-match home conference winning streak with a five-set victory on Oct. 8, 2011, in front of over 5,200 fans. Penn State had lost just one home match since then, a five-setter to Michigan State in 2013, when Illinois came in and did it again, topping the Nittany Lions, 3-1, to snap a 19-match home winning streak on Oct. 11, 2014. Since that OSU match in 2004, Penn State has won 102 of their 105 home conference matches—Illinois represents two of those three losses. During that same stretch, the Nittany Lions went 183-5 overall at home; the Illini are the only team to defeat PSU twice at Rec Hall during that span (other three losses: Tennessee, Oregon, Michigan State). Throughout their history, the Orange and Blue have had immense success against the powerhouse of Penn State, as this season’s victory marked their 10th over the Nittany Lions in program history. There are only three teams in the nation that have more wins against Penn State, two of which are Big Ten members. Pittsburgh has the most wins all time with 17, however the Panthers have not defeated the Nittany Lions since 1982. Ohio State and Nebraska each have 14 wins, with the Huskers last defeating the Nittany Lions on Oct. 4, 2014. ROAD WARRIORS Illinois captured 12 victories away from home last season, including taking down No. 5 Penn State and No. 13 Nebraska

PRESEASON HONORS Preseason All-Big Ten: Jocelynn Birks, Liz McMahon on their home courts on consecutive Saturdays. When the Illini topped the Huskers on Oct. 18, they became just the third team in NCAA history to defeat both powerhouse programs on their home courts in the same season. Illinois is one of just eight teams to have ever won in both Lincoln and University Park and one of only two programs (OSU) to have wins in multiple seasons in both places. Purdue was the first team ever to defeat Penn State and Nebraska on their respective courts in the same season, defeating No. 15 Nebraska, 3-0, on Nov. 6, 1982, then topping unranked PSU twice (2-0 & 3-1) the following week on Nov. 13, 1982. Nine years later, Ohio State repeated the feat, handing No. 12 Penn State its first-ever Big Ten loss, 3-2, on Nov. 28, 1991, then defeating No. 7 Nebraska in the 1991 NCAA Regional Final on Dec. 14. The only other schools to have recorded a win in both places are Minnesota, New Mexico, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara and UCLA. 22 NCAA BIDS // 15 SWEET 16s // 3 FINAL FOURS // 51

THE RECORD BOOK

ILLINI VOLLEYBALL HISTORY 1974

The University of Illinois recognizes the women’s athletics program as part of the Athletic Association, naming Dr. Karol Kahrs to head the seven-sport program. Volleyball is one of the seven newlyincorporated varsity sports. Kahrs originally came to Illinois in 1966, coaching the volleyball and women’s basketball teams.

Then, on Nov. 6, the Illini sweep Wisconsin, who was the hottest team in the Big Ten at the time with an eight-match win streak. Attendance is a story again. Illinois draws 22,890 fans to Huff Hall, an average of 1,761 per match, ranking 10th nationally. Don Hardin posts career victory No. 350 in the 30-27, 30-20, 32-30 win over Wisconsin. Senior Jessica Belter earns Big Ten Player of the Week after dominating performances vs. Michigan and Michigan State for the second straight year. For the week, Belter has 43 kills and hits a combined .567. Two Illini are named All-Big Ten, Belter (first team) and junior hitter Rachel VanMeter (honorable mention), while middle blocker Jen Hynds garners All-Big Ten Freshman Team accolades. Belter is named Honorable Mention All-America. Despite some key wins, injuries to Jen Hynds, who misses eight games in mid-September, and to setter

The Illini post a 9-1 mark in pre-conference matches, but struggle in Big Ten play, going 6-14 in the conference and 15-15 on the year.

The roller coaster season ends on a high as head coach Don Hardin wins his 400th match in a threeset win over Iowa. Earlier in the year, Hardin wins his 200th at Illinois.

Junior middle blocker Vicki Brown, an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten selection, is the story of the non-conference season, earning MVP honors of the State Farm Illini Classic and the Marquette Kick-Off Tournament. Brown belts 45 kills and hits .413 in the Illini Classic, hitting for a .625 clip in a 3-0 victory over UW-Milwaukee. Freshman Ashley Edinger steps into the libero spot, posting 488 digs, second all-time in Illinois history. Kylie McCulley, playing for the injured Kayani Turner, is impressive in her debut as a starter, tallying 19 kills in a competitive match with No. 2 Penn State. Illinois has a pair of set points in sets one and three before falling 34-32, 30-23, 32-30. Lizzie Bazzetta ranks sixth in the nation in assists per game at 13.54.

2007

Illinois posts its 20th winning season in 24 years. The Illini defeat a ranked team for the seventh straight season and take eventual national champion Penn State to five sets, all the while breaking in a new, yet talented, freshman class. Still, the 2007 season will be remembered for how close the Illini came to placing in the top three in the Big Ten and returning to the NCAA Tournament. Illinois finishes the season 16-14 with nine of the those losses coming in five sets and another in four to No. 9 Wisconsin after the Illini took the opening set 41-39, a record for the longest set in school history. Laura DeBruler’s performance headlines a strong start from the nation’s sixth-ranked recruiting class. DeBruler leads all freshmen nationally (22nd overall) in kills per game at 4.89.

Illinois goes 9-2 in pre-conference play, highlighted by an early win over No. 11 Oregon. After the Ducks dominate the first two sets, 25-14 and 25-16, in the championship match of the State Farm Illini Classic, fans get a glimpse of just how good Laura DeBruler can be. The somewhat undersized sophomore comes up big with 22 kills in the final three sets, as Illinois rallies from a 19-14 deficit in the fourth set and takes set five, 15-13, in dramatic fashion. DeBruler is named National Player of the Week for her efforts and also earns the first of three Big Ten Player of the Week honors on the season. All year, Illinois plays a style that keeps rallies going and forces the opponent to make the mistake on the point. Thanks to a lot of hard work by returnees and the emergence of freshman Michelle Bartsch, the Illini becomes a force on the block. Bartsch has 134 blocks, which ranks 10th in the Big Ten, en route to Big Ten and Mideast Region Freshman of the Year accolades. Middle blocker Johannah Bangert, a two-time Big Ten Player of the Week, is at the heart of the blocking success, leading not only the conference, but also the nation with 1.60 blocks per set. With the fans counting down each dig, Ashley Edinger sets the Illinois career digs record on Nov. 1 against Ohio State, finishing her junior year with 1,614. The Illini win 16 of the final 19, following a hiccup against Northwestern. Ten of those 16 wins come in three sets, as Illinois makes its case for a national seed and home court advantage for the NCAA Tournament. Tabbing the No. 9 national seed and hosting first and second round matches for the third time this decade, Illinois defeats UW-Milwaukee and Cincinnati on its home court in the first two rounds to punch a ticket to the school’s first Sweet 16 appearance since 2003.

2009

Kevin Hambly takes over as the seventh head coach in program history. Illinois continues its success in 2009, posting the fifth-best winning percentage in school history at 26-6. The Illini finish in sole possession of second place in the Big Ten, recording a 16-4 conference mark, and reach the Sweet 16 for the second year in a row and 11th time overall. Illinois emerges as a top-five team in the country, earning the No. 5 seed for the NCAA Tournament while spending eight straight weeks in the top 10 in the AVCA coaches’ poll.

2010

Illinois continues to firmly cement itself as a national contender in 2010. The Illini defeat a pair of top-five teams, including eventual national champion Penn State and reaches as high as No. 3 in the national poll. The season will also be remembered for its share of adversity. Both Laura DeBruler and Erin Johnson miss time recovering from mononucleosis. Highly-touted freshman Anna Dorn suffers an ACL tear during the second week of the season. But the biggest blow comes on Oct. 9 when 2009 First Team All-American DeBruler is lost for the season, also with an ACL tear.

The Illini begin the year as good as any team in the country. On Sept. 3, the Illini sweep No. 2 Texas to end the Longhorns’ 25-match home court winning streak. Michelle Bartsch is named the Time Warner Cable Invitational MVP after hitting .514 in leading the Illini to wins over Texas and Florida A&M. Early the following week, the Illini find out DeBruler has mono, and the senior would miss the following two weekends. Even without DeBruler, the Illini defeat No. 20 Dayton and take the first two sets from No. 7 Nebraska in front of nearly 12,000 fans in Lincoln. In set three, however, Bartsch sprains an ankle and Nebraska comes back to win in five sets. Bartsch returns the following weekend, but unranked Cincinnati also takes down the Illini in five. The Illini end the weekend with a win over eventual NCAA qualifier Louisville and DeBruler returns the following weekend against three-time defending national champion No. 2 Penn State. With over 4,100 fans filling Huff for the first sellout in 18 years, the Illini post a thrilling five-set victory over the Nittany Lions, ending their record 65-match Big Ten winning streak on Sept. 24. Illinois opens Big Ten play at 12-1, holding the top of the standings for the first eight weeks of the season. The Illini’s sole loss comes at Michigan, where DeBruler suffers the ACL tear, but the Illini take down the No. 15 Wolverines in their rematch at Huff Hall on Oct. 29. During the stretch, Illinois also defeats No. 20 Minnesota and No. 25 Northwestern. Sitting at 20-3 at the start of November, Illinois drops five of its last seven conference matches, the most devastating coming in the rematch with Minnesota. The Illini leads two sets to one and 24-20 in the fourth set, but the Gophers score 13 of the next 14 points to take the match in five sets.

Illinois sees the NCAA Tournament as a fresh start. On the heels of six wins over ranked opponents, including two in the top five, Illinois receives the No. 8 national seed and a pair of home matches. The Illini defeat Austin Peay in three sets in round one, then win the rematch with No. 21 Cincinnati in four sets in the second round to advance to their third straight Sweet 16, setting up another rematch -- this time with ninthseeded Texas in Austin. Junior Colleen Ward leads the NCAA tournament with 44 kills in the first two matches. Against Texas, it’s freshman Jazmine Orozco who leads the way with 21 kills, but the hosts battle back from down 2-1 to eliminate the Illini in five sets. Three Illini earn All-America honors, Ward on the second team and Bartsch and senior setter Hillary Haen on the third team. The year sees several milestones. DeBruler becomes Illinois’ all-time kills leader, passing Illini legend Mary Eggers at Wisconsin and finishing her injury-shortened career with 1,833. Johannah Bangert sets a new Illinois record for blocks, finishing with 653 for her career, which is also seventh in Big Ten history.

Haen moves into fourth on Illinois’ all-time assists list with 3,956, while finishing her career eighth on the single-season assist list with 1,471.

2011

A national ESPN2 audience witnesses perhaps the greatest rally the game has ever seen in match point of the national semifinal between Illinois and USC. The Illini and Women of Troy take turns taking shots at each other. Some 55 touches, 18 over-the-net volleys and 68 seconds of electric play later, the Illini completes a fiveset win over the nation’s top-ranked team and earns a spot in the national championship match. The point gets a spot on Sportscenter’s “Top 10 Plays” that night and continues to have fans talking about it. The point is the pinnacle of an historic season for Illinois who creaks through a number of barriers. The Illini begin the year 20-0, the second most wins to start a season in school history. It results in the school’s first No. 1 ranking in the AVCA Coaches poll. The wideopen national race is reflected in six different teams reaching the top spot, but none hold it as long as Illinois (four weeks). For the first time since 1992, Illinois plays two home matches in front of near capacity crowds of 4,000-plus.

THE RECORD BOOK

ILLINI VOLLEYBALL HISTORY In Illinois’ first weekend at number one, a sellout crowd of 4,261 sees a battle of the last two unbeateans in Illinois and Purdue and the Illini eke out a tight four-set victory over the Boilermakers. For much of Penn State’s 20 years in the Big Ten, the conference championship has gone through Happy Valley, but for the first time ever, Illinois sweeps the season series from the Nittany Lions. If the battle with USC is the defining match of the postseason, the first meeting with Penn State is that for the 2011 regular season. Over 5,200 fans watch the match which lasts nearly three hours, and, in the end, the visiting Illini come away with an epic five-set victory. Illinois boasts perhaps the best outside hitting combination in the country in seniors Colleen Ward, who becomes Illinois’ fifth First-Team All-American, and Michelle Bartsch, who earns third-team All-America honors for the second-straight year. In reality, though, several members of the team take turns taking center stage throughout the year. Redshirt freshman Anna Dorn does so against Penn State, with four blocks in each of the fourth and fifth sets, tying an Illinois record with 13 block assists in the match. Bartsch helps the Illini get off to a hot start to the season, winning MVP of three in-season tournaments, including the State Farm Illini Classic, which sees the Illini battle back from two sets down to defeat 21st-ranked Dayton, one of six five-set victories in the 20-0 start. Illinois has the top-ranked RPI the entire season, thanks in large to part to a challenging schedule. Illinois wins a school-record 11 matches against ranked opponents, playing 15 matches against top-25 clubs as well as 27 matches against 19 NCAA qualifying teams. Bartsch and fellow senior Rachel Feldman help the Illini post a 57-6 record at Huff Hall in their four years, including a 16-1 mark in 2011, which sees 42,068 come through the doors at the historic arena, the second most in school history. Illinois earns the No. 3 seed for the NCAA Tournament and starts its run to the Final Four with convincing straight set wins over Central Michigan and Marquette at Huff, bringing the Illini’s all-time postseason home record to 22-3. For the second-straight year, six Big Ten teams make the Sweet 16 and three of them converge at the Gainesville, Fla., Regional. The Illini meet Ohio State in the Regional Semifinal, a round that had been a roadblock for Illinois each of the past three seasons. After dropping the first set, Illinois wins a fierce battle with the Buckeyes. Jennifer Beltran, whose 571 digs in 2011 are second in Illini history only to her 623 output from 2010, has perhaps her best effort as a collegian with 26 digs vs. the Buckeyes. Beltran later sets a new Illinois postseason mark with 32 in the national semifinal win over USC.

Illinois would not be denied in its quest for its first Final Four appearance in 23 years. Facing the host Florida Gators in the Regional Final, the Illini post a four-set win behind a career match from Ward. The former Gator has 23 kills in 42 swings, hitting .500 in earning the Regional MVP. Bartsch and Beltran join Ward on the All-Regional Tournament team. While the Final Four meeting with USC may best be remembered nationally for the final point, the match has some of the best volleyball on display the entire night. Freshman Liz McMahon, whose 6-6 frame on the right side helped provide a huge blocking presence all year, has five kills on eight swings in the fifth set alone to help the Orange and Blue advance to the title match. For just the second time in school history, two different players contribute 20-20 performances against USC. Ward paves the way with 27 kills in 71 swings, the second-most by an Illini player in a postseason match. She adds a career-best 22 digs while Bartsch has 22 kills and 22 digs. Junior setter Annie Luhrsen helps engineer a highpowered Illinois offense down the stretch of the season and joins Ward and Bartsch on the all-tournament team for the NCAA Finals. Under Luhrsen’s guidance, Illinois hits over .300 in seven of the 10 matches leading up to the Final Four, including .340 in a three-set win over Penn State and a .338 clip in the Regional Final win over Florida. The championship match is nearly as riveting as the semifinals, as the Illini come back from down 20-13 in the second set to tie the match, 1-1. The Illini have two set points in the third, but UCLA scores the final four points of the set and goes on to claim the NCAA title in four sets. The loss doesn’t overshadow the list of accomplishments for Illinois, who finishes a school-best second in the final coaches’ poll. The Big Ten honors Bartsch and Ward as all-conference, and McMahon on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Erin Johnson, who leads the Illini in attack percentage (.328), joins Luhrsen and Dorn in earning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week throughout the year. Several players reach milestones. Beltran surpasses the 1,000-dig mark and sits fifth on the all-time career digs list with 1,194 through two seasons. Bartsch ends her career fourth in block assists (422), seventh in kills (1,644), 10th in digs (1,035) and second in attacks (4,776) on the school’s career lists. Dorn (178) and Johnson (149) are third and sixth, respectively, in singleseason block assists.

2012

The Illini have a tough challenge in 2012, as a young team sets out to follow the most successful season in program history. Faced with the task of replacing AllAmerican outside hitters Michelle Bartsch and Colleen Ward, redshirt freshmen Jocelynn Birks and Ali Stark step up in the front row. Birks accepts the challenge, and

Birks solidifies her role in the final pre-conference tournament, as she leads the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational with 60 kills in three matches en route to earning MVP honors. After opening the year 3-4, the Illini seem to have put it all together in Austin, as the Orange and Blue take down No. 6 Texas, 3-2, then defeat UCF and Cincinnati to claim the tournament title. Following the loss, Texas would go on to win 17-straight regularseason matches and win the 2012 NCAA Championship. The Illini open Big Ten play with a tough loss to No. 12 Minnesota, but bounce back to win the next two matches over Wisconsin and Indiana. However, a difficult five-set loss at Purdue begins a four-match skid, as the Illini drop eight of the next 10 matches and drop out of the rankings for the first time since 2008. Six days after falling in five to Purdue, Illini gives up a 2-0 lead to lose, 3-2, to No. 19 Ohio State at home. The heartbreak continues the following night, as Illinois leads 14-10 in the fifth set over No. 1 Penn State but squanders four-straight match points and drops the set 18-16.

In total, Illinois plays 22 matches against ranked opponents, shattering the previous record of 15 and marking the most in the NCAA since Stanford faced 23 in 1996, the only program ever to take on more than 22 in a single season.

The Illini struggle at the close of nonconference play, dropping the final four matches, all to teams in the AVCA poll, to enter a daunting Big Ten slate at 4-6. The Orange and Blue splits each of the first six weekends of Big Ten play, but to be eligible for a postseason berth, the Illini would need to win at least five of their final eight matches. Illinois steps up to the challenge, rattling off a six-match winning streak, including a comeback over No. 17 Michigan after falling behind 0-2 and a 3-0 sweep of No. 18 Purdue, finishing the year on a 7-2 run to punch a ticket back to the postseason.

2014

Illinois makes history in 2014, taking down titans as the Fighting Illini become the first team in 23 years and third ever to defeat powerhouses Penn State and Nebraska on their home courts in the same season—and they did it on consecutive Saturdays. The win at Penn State ends up marking the third time in five years that the Illini would defeat the eventual national champion, while Illinois returns from Lincoln victorious for the first time since 1989. The Orange and Blue return a veteran squad in 2014, needing to replace just one regular player, and despite big shoes to fill, true freshman Brandi Donnelly makes an immediate splash at libero. Illinois opens the year with sweeps of Long Beach State, Southern Illinois and No. 20 North Carolina to win the Illini Classic, then takes No. 2 Stanford down to the wire in an exhilarating five-set loss. The Illini finish nonconference play 8-3, then begin Big Ten play at home against the newest members of the conference, Maryland and Rutgers.

Jocelynn Birks posted three consecutive 500-kill seasons in 2012-2014.

DON HARDIN

13 YEARS // 234-163 (.589) After guiding the University of Louisville for eight successful seasons, including six NCAA appearances, Don Hardin was named the sixth head coach in Fighting Illini history, Jan. 19, 1996. A former assistant at Illinois for the 1987 Final Four team, Hardin led Illinois to six NCAA appearances (1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004 & 2008), including three trips to the Sweet 16 in 1998, 2003, & 2008. Hardin was named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2001 after leading the Illini to a 21-9 record, the second round of the NCAA Tournament and a final national ranking of 20th. Illinois finished the 2003 season ranked 15th nationally and had its best season since 1992, earning Hardin his second Big Ten Coach of the Year honor. In 2008, the Illini earned a No. 9 national seed and finished the year ranked 11th in the final poll. He had only one player transfer in 13 seasons while his players posted a near perfect graduation rate.

KEVIN HAMBLY

6 YEARS // 140-59 (.704) Kevin Hambly has rapidly built the Illini into one of the elite teams in the country through strong recruiting, including the Class of 2015, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation. Hambly has posted a record of 140-59 in his six years as head coach at Illinois, including a 32-5 mark in 2011, when the Simi Valley, California, native guided the Illini to their first Final Four in 23 years, reaching the championship match for the first time ever. The Illini spent four weeks at No. 1 in both the AVCA and Volleyball Magazine polls, the first time the Illini had reached that pinnacle. Illinois swept the season series from four-time defending national champion Penn State for the first time in school history and earned the No. 3 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. Following the season, Hambly was named Volleyball Magazine’s 2011 National Coach of the Year.

THE RECORD BOOK

HUFF HALL

This year marks the 26th season that the Illinois volleyball program has called George Huff Hall its home. Huff Hall is a versatile multi-use facility and is home to Illini volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics. Huff is known for creating the circus-like atmosphere that fostered the term “March Madness” when it was the longtime home of the Illinois State High School Association state basketball tournament. Illinois has been one of the nation’s toughest places for visiting teams as the Illini have compiled a 405158 (.719) home mark over 41 seasons, including a 258-100 (.721) record at Huff Hall. Prior to 1990, the Illini played primarily at Kenney Gym, while hosting some matches at the IMPE Building (now the ARC), where they accumulated a combined 147-56 record. Additionally, the Orange and Blue are 2-2 all time at State Farm Center. Illinois hosted top-ranked Hawaii at then-Assembly Hall in 1981, then returned for the first time on Oct. 16, 2009, when the Illini topped No. 6 Minnesota, 3-0, in front of a school-record crowd of 7,632. The Illini swept Iowa at the Center on Sept. 27, 2013, in front of 7,061 fans prior to hosting the 2013 NCAA Regional, featuring Wisconsin, Florida State and Purdue. Despite a blizzard outside, the Illini’s Sweet 16 matchup with Purdue drew a strong crowd of 4,631, the third-largest showing in program history. Illinois won 33 home matches in a row from 1987-89 and 22 in a row at Huff from 1991-92 and 2010-11. The Illini have 12 seasons with at most one home loss, going undefeated at home in 1985 and 1988. Much of Illinois’ success can be attributed to the home court advantage created by Illini fans. The Orange and Blue have consistently been ranked among the top 10 in the nation in attendance, including each of the past four seasons. Illinois has had eight official sellouts at Huff Hall, including an all-time record of 4,536 fans on Oct. 6, 2014, on the inaugural IlliNOISE Night against Wisconsin. The Fighting Illini over 3,000 fans a total of six times last season, with 13 of the top-20 all-time top crowds coming during Kevin Hambly’s tenure as head coach. Hambly’s Illini are 73-26 at home, taking just one home loss in four of his six seasons at the helm. 106 // 2015 ILLINOIS VOLLEYBALL

The Illini have averaged over 3,000 fans in each of the past two seasons, ranking in the top 10 in the nation in both total and average attendance, while the 2012 home opener was the largest in program history, when 3,770 Illini faithful gathered in Huff Hall on Aug. 31, 2012, for the NCAA banner raising ceremony. The Fighting Illini won consecutive NCAA attendance titles in 1992 and 1993. In 1992, the Illini broke the NCAA single-season attendance record as 52,666 fans packed into Huff Hall for 17 matches, which remains the most in Illinois history. Illinois led the nation in average attendance the following year, drawing 2,657 fans per event. Huff Hall’s gymnasium, located on the first floor, contains enough space for two volleyball practice courts and the volleyball match facility. Creating an intimidating home court advantage for the Fighting Illini, seating is located on all four sides of the court, with permanent seating on the East, West and South sides for a capacity of 4,536. Huff also houses a training room, a weight room, equipment rooms and locker rooms (used by the men’s and women’s track & field, volleyball and wrestling teams) in the basement, as well as many academic offices and classrooms on the first, second and third floors. Additionally, athletes can access the 200-meter indoor track at the Armory via an underground tunnel that connects the two buildings. In 2002, the women’s locker and squad rooms were completely renovated. Two years later, the men’s locker and squad rooms along with the training and weight rooms were fully renovated. Prior to the 2014 season, Huff Hall underwent a massive renovation, demonstrating the DIA’s commitment to volleyball. A brand new floor was put in, replacing the old basketball court with a more springy volleyball surface to protect the student-athletes’ joints. The bleacher seats on the East and West sides were replaced, while permanent seating was added to the South side, increasing the seating capacity from roughly 4,050 to 4,536. With the new South bleachers came a new position for the scoreboard on that end of

HUFF HALL

the gym. Four large ceiling fans were added above the seating areas on either side of the court to help keep the crowd cool, and new bathrooms were constructed in the basement. Additionally, a new LED scorer’s table will be installed for the 2015 season. Huff Hall is named for longtime Illinois Athletic Director and coach George Huff. Huff served as Illinois’ Athletic Director from 1901 to 1935, during a time in which the Fighting Illini athletic programs enjoyed unparalleled success. Huff was also the driving force behind the construction of Memorial Stadium in 1923. Prior to Huff’s tenure as athletic director, he served as head football coach from 1895 to 1899 and baseball skipper from 1896 to 1919. Known by many of his close friends and business associates as “G,” Huff served as manager of the Boston Red Sox in 1907. Originally called the “New Gymnasium,” Huff Hall was designed in the Georgian-Revival Style by Charles A. Platt and University Architect James M. White. The building’s architecture matches that of the Armory, Main Library, the Union, and other campus buildings. At the conclusion of its $772,000 construction in 1925, Huff Hall replaced the Military Drill Hall (now known as Kenney Gym Annex) as the home for Fighting Illini basketball. The “New Gymnasium” was renamed Huff Hall in 1937 following the longtime athletic director’s passing. Illinois athletics has enjoyed a proud athletic tradition in the gymnasium at Huff Hall. Huff Hall served as home for Illinois basketball from 1925 to 1963, when the Fighting Illini cagers won 339 out of 418 games (.811), eight Big Ten championships, and earned two NCAA Final Four appearances. Even though it was more than twice the size of the old Drill Hall where Illinois had previously played, it was realized soon after construction that the building was too small to hold all the Illinois fans. In 1925, a writer for Illinois Alumni News stated, “It seems high time that the Stadium (referring to Memorial Stadium) be roofed over for basketball. We can’t imagine any other way to get in all the customers.” The Illinois basketball team played to raucous capacity crowds for nearly 40 years while at

Huff Hall, forcing some fans to wait several years to obtain tickets.

TOP HOME CROWDS (3,000+)

The gymnasium in Huff Hall has hosted its fair share of championships at the collegiate and high school levels over the years. In 1940 and 1947, the Fighting Illini hosted the NCAA Wrestling Championships at Huff Hall. In 1930, 1933, 1946, 1948 and 1958, the Big Ten Wrestling Championships came to Huff. Not to be outdone, the IHSA used the gymnasium at Huff Hall for nine of its state wrestling tournaments in the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s, prior to the championships moving down Fourth Street to State Farm Center.

Huff Hall also served as host for the 1991, 1995 and 2003 Big Ten Women’s Gymnastics Championships; the 1992, 1995 and 2004 Big Ten Men’s Gymnastics Championships; and was the site of the 1993 and 1999 NCAA Men’s Gymnastics East Regional. Huff Hall has played host to many NCAA volleyball tournament matches, beginning with the 1992 first round and regional volleyball matches. Huff would go on to be the site of a 1994 NCAA first-round volleyball match, a 1995 NCAA second-round volleyball match, and the first and second rounds of the 1998, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014 NCAA Volleyball Tournaments. The first and second rounds of the 1997 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament were also played in the gymnasium at Huff Hall.

THE RECORD BOOK

ILLINI CLASSIC A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ILLINI CLASSIC

The four-team Illini Classic began in 1984, featuring Missouri, Northern Illinois, Notre Dame and the host Fighting Illini. Missouri won the inaugural round-robin tournament with a pair of 3-0 wins. In 1985, Illinois defeated New Mexico State, 3-0, to win its first Classic title. In 1986, No. 4 San Jose State ended a 15-match home winning streak for the Illini, winning 3-1. In 1987, No. 4 Brigham Young defeated No. 6 Illinois, 3-1, in the title match featuring two of the nation’s top returning teams. The Fighting Illini captured the 1988 and 1989 Classic titles, defeating Nebraska and Pittsburgh. In 1990, No. 6 Stanford pulled off a stunning comeback to defeat the Illini in the title match. In 1991, Illinois scored the last six points in the decisive fifth game, shocking No. 19 Georgia to win the championship. In 1992, the Classic featured the “Big Eight-Big Ten Challenge” pitting No. 12 Illinois and No. 14 Ohio State against No. 5 Nebraska and No. 16 Colorado. Illinois captured the 1995 title by defeating the Louisville Cardinals in the championship match. That began a winning streak of consecutive tournament titles for the Illini, which stood at six until Florida ended the run by claiming the 2001 title.

MOST KILLS

The “Stuff Huff” promotion produced 3,219 fans for the 2006 tournament and season opener between Illinois and Illinois State. The Illini claimed their 18th championship with a victory over No. 11 Oregon in dramatic fashion in 2008 and went 3-0 for the titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2012, the Classic featured just two teams, as the Illini played No. 15 Iowa State on back-to-back nights. Illinois won 3-0 in front of 3,770 fans on opening night, but fell 3-2 the following night. Illinois hosted a pair of top-10 teams in the 2013 Illini Classic. The Orange and Blue defeated Arizona State, 3-2, for Kevin Hambly’s 100th career victory, but fell to No. 6 Washington and No. 2 Texas. The tournament was not a round robin and no champion was crowned nor was there an all-tournament team. Illinois claimed its 22nd outright Illini Classic title in 2014, sweeping Long Beach State, Southern Illinois and No. 20 North Carolina for a perfect opening weekend.

THE RECORD BOOK

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES LISA ARGABRIGHT 2003 // THIRD TEAM

Lisa Argabright will be remembered for thunderous kills that brought down the house at Huff Hall in 2003. The student section would chant from across both sides of the court, “Jack-Hammer, Jack-Hammer” every time Argabright had a putaway. The lanky, long-armed 6-5 middle blocker redefined the position at Illinois, hitting .376 for the year and averaging 1.28 blocks per game in 2003. Argabright registered double figures in kills in 26 of 33 matches and recorded a hitting percentage of .400 or better in 15 matches. Illinois suffered through an injury-plagued 2002 with Argabright missing a portion of the season with mononucleosis and also battling an elbow injury. The Illini finished 13-16 and were overlooked coming into 2003. As the 2003 season progressed, however, it became obvious that Illinois was a team that could contend for the Big Ten title. Then, in mid-October, the Illini swept Penn State and Ohio State in a weekend for the first time in eight seasons. Argabright hit .429 and had 16 kills vs. No. 11 Penn State and hit .417 with 17 kills vs. Ohio State to earn Big Ten Player of the Week honors. Earlier in the year she earned MVP honors at the University of Connecticut and Illini Classic Tournaments as the Illini won nine straight, the best streak under Coach Don Hardin. With Argabright swinging away, the Illini had their best season in 11 years, going 26-7 with a trip to the Sweet 16. Argabright led Illinois in kills and blocks for three straight years. She ranks third in attack percentage in a match with 15 kills in 16 swings for a .938 clip vs. Manhattan on Sept. 12, 2003. The two-time All-Big Ten selection finished her career with a .352 attack percentage, fifth in school history while amassing 1,111 career kills and 404 career blocks.

JOHANNAH BANGERT

2009 // HONORABLE MENTION Johannah Bangert holds the record for the triple and long jumps at Washington High School in Missouri. It’s that leaping ability that has transformed Bangert into one of the top blockers in the country. In fact, Bangert led the nation in blocks in back-to-back seasons, averaging 1.60 and 1.58 blocks per set in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Bangert etched her name in the Illini record books, setting the career mark for blocks with 653, breaking the old record held by Illini great Mary Eggers. She also holds the Big Ten record for career block assists with 613 as well as the second and third best single-season blocks marks by an Illini with 202 and 179 as a sophomore and junior, respectively. Bangert tied the school’s single-match block assists record with 13 vs. both Purdue and Wisconsin and now has five of the top nine on that list. A three-year starter from a recruiting class ranked No. 6 in the nation, Bangert helped the Illini to three straight Sweet 16 appearances. She was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week five times during her career while also earning two Academic All-Big Ten honors and in 2009 and 2010 being named ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District. Bangert covers a lot of ground at the net all the while hitting .2`7 for her career. Bangert has had some of her best matches against some of the nation’s best, which included teaming with Michelle Bartsch for the match-tying kill vs. Michigan in 2009. Bangert has the personality to go along with her play on the floor with many rituals and traditions, including wearing purple on Thursdays.

THE RECORD BOOK

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES MICHELLE BARTSCH

2010, 2011 - THIRD TEAM // 2009 - HM Michelle Bartsch was one of the most well rounded player in Illinois history. As a freshman, Bartsch played just three front row rotations, working with Johannah Bangert to become a lethal “Killer B” block combination while stopping many of the top left-side hitters on the schedule. As a sophomore, however, Bartsch played every rotation, becoming an effective pass-hitter while also increasing her kill total from 295 to 344. Bartsch averaged 2.24 digs per set as well.

As a junior, Bartsch moved past the 1,000-kill mark after a career-best 448 and earned MVP of the Time Warner Cable Invitational, a tournament that saw the Illini sweep No. 2 Texas in its own arena. Along with teammate Colleen Ward, Bartsch was one of the top “pin” players in the Big Ten in 2011. She was named First Team All-American by Volleyball Magazine, an All-Big Ten performer and third-team AVCA All-American. She also earned MVP honors for three tournaments. Bartsch became just the sixth Illinois player with multiple 20-20 performances when she did so on consecutive days (vs. Tennessee and Dayton) then added a third 20-20 match with 22 kills and 22 digs vs. USC. Bartsch was also named the top server at the NORCECA games while playing for the U.S. Junior National team in the summer of 2008. She was also invited to participate on the United States National A2 team multiple times during her college career. Bartsch ends her career ranked second in attack attempts (4,776), fourth in block assists (422), seventh in kills (1,644), eighth in total blocks (451), and 10th in digs (1,035) and on Illinois’ career list. Her 466 digs in 2011 are the seventh most by an Illinois player in a single-season. She led Illinois in kills with 557 in 2011, the fifth-most in a single-season in school history.

JESSICA BELTER

2004 // HONORABLE MENTION Jessica Belter is one of the top opposite side hitters to play at Illinois. Hitting alongside the likes of Melissa Vandrey and Lisa Argabright, Belter played on three NCAA qualifiers, including the 2003 Sweet 16 Team. Belter was named AVCA National Player of the Week on Oct. 20, 2003. She erupted for 16 kills in 19 swings for a .737 hitting percentage vs. Michigan State, then registered 12 kills and 11 digs, hitting a match-high .417 with two errors in 24 swings, in the 3-1 victory over Michigan. Belter just missed a triple-double in the win over the Wolverines as she tied her career best in blocks with eight. For the week, she hit .558 with 14.0 kills, 1.7 blocks, and 2.0 digs per game. Belter also had the game-winning kill in game four of a five-game victory over Minnesota at Huff that year. Having to wear a special wrap on her hand to prevent injury, her success and popularity led to many student fans in the crowd wearing socks over their hands in honor of Belter. In 2004, Belter ranked eighth in the Big Ten in attack percentage (.324) during all matches, but third in the league (.351) during the 20-match Big Ten season. She was named Big Ten Player of the Week for having monster matches again vs. Michigan State and Michigan, totaling 43 kills and hitting a combined .567 in home victories. She ended her career with 917 kills, including 380 in 2004. She added 108 digs and 90 blocks in her senior season as well. A first team All-Big Ten performer, Belter was named to four all-tournament teams in her career.

THE RECORD BOOK

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES JENNIFER BELTRAN

2013 // HONORABLE MENTION Jennifer Beltran used consistent defense to lead the Illini to great heights throughout her four-year career as the Illini’s libero. Beltran broke the school single-season digs record as a freshman, tallying 623 digs over 33 matches, then posted the second-most the following season, with 571. Beltran would earn an All-Region Honorable Mention in her rookie season, along with a Big Ten All-Freshman team nod.

Beltran would go on to record four of the top seven single-season marks in program history, becoming Illinois’ all-time digs leader on Oct. 12, 2013, at Indiana. The defensive specialist became the first Illini to 2,000 digs on Oct. 30 to help lead Illinois past eventual NCAA runner-up No. 16 Wisconsin, and finished her career ranked second all-time in Big Ten history with 2,220 career digs. Beltran’s leadership in the back row helped lead the Illini to the NCAA title match in 2011, where Beltran would tie and subsequently break the single-match postseason digs record, tabbing 26 digs vs. Ohio State in the NCAA Regional Semifinal, then putting up 32 digs vs. No. 1 USC in the NCAA Semifinal. Beltran was named to the NCAA All-Regional team after helping the Illini advance to their third Final Four in program history. Following the 2013 season, the Big Ten did not recognize a single libero on its all-conference team, but the AVCA took notice of her hard work, rewarding her with an All-Northeast Region selection and an All-America Honorable mention.

JOCELYNN BIRKS

2014 - SECOND TEAM // 2013 - THIRD Jocelynn Birks erupted onto the scene as a redshirt freshman in 2012, recording the second-most kills ever for an Illini in her collegiate debut, slamming 16 vs. Dayton. She would go on to earn four Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors and a Big Ten Player of the Week along with Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational MVP award after leading the Illini to an upset of eventual national champion No. 6 Texas and a tournament sweep with an invite-leading 60 kills. She finished her rookie campaign with 510 kills, ranking third in the nation among freshmen in kills and fifth in points. A Big Ten All-Freshman team honoree and an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention, she was arguably snubbed that season for any higher honors. However in 2013, Birks returned for another strong season, posting her second-consecutive 500-kill season, just the third Illini ever to do so, and finished her sophomore campaign ranked third in the nation among underclassmen with 1,010 career kills. The outside hitter finished the season ranked fifth in the Big Ten in kills and points per set and in the top 40 in the NCAA, earning unanimous All-Big Ten honors and a spot on the All-America Third Team. Birks upped her game yet again in 2014, registering her third-straight 500-kill performance and leading the Big Ten in kills, kills per set, points, points per set and double-doubles in both all matches and Big Ten play. The Willow Springs, Illinois, native was once again named a unanimous All-Big Ten honoree and earned Second-Team All-America honors from the AVCA, as well as a Big Ten Player of the Week nod and a spot on the NCAA Regional All-Tournament team for the second year in a row. With a full season left to play, Birks is already in the top 10 all time at Illinois in career kills, points and attempts and is on pace to break all three records during her senior season. 22 NCAA BIDS // 15 SWEET 16s // 3 FINAL FOURS // 121

THE RECORD BOOK

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES ERIN BORSKE 1995 // FIRST TEAM

44 -- that’s the number of kills Erin Borske had in a five-set match against No. 6 Penn State. Those who saw Borske play were impressed, but not surprised. In fact, after that Nittany Lion match, Penn State coach Russ Rose said, “We held Erin to only 44 kills, that’s pretty good.” Such were the sentiments of most who saw Borske. She was head and shoulders above the rest on most nights. Even after the alumni match as a freshman, her first competition at Huff Hall, one alum said, “When I saw her, I thought another Mary Eggers.” In just two years at Illinois, Borske had 28 20-plus kills matches, which was the Illinois record until 2005, when Rachel VanMeter recorded her 29th. Her 44 kills vs. Penn State are second in Big Ten history and her 714 kills in 1995 are an Illini record. But Borske was more than a strong offensive player. On Nov. 17, Borske added 26 digs to go with her 41 kills in a five-game victory over Minnesota. Borske and Mary Eggers are the only two sophomores from Illinois to earn first-team All-America status. At the end of her career, she owned six Big Ten single-match or single-season records, currently holding 13 Illinois marks. She finished the year with 396 digs (second in Illinois history) to go along with her 714 kills in 1995. At the time, Borske had shattered the Big Ten records for kills in a season by 80 and averaged 6.17 kills per game in Big Ten play. She also earned MVP honors in all three tournaments in which the Illini participated in 1995. The Illini defeated Georgia 3-1 to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16. Borske had 35 kills and hit .373 to pace Illinois in that match. Borske was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1994 after amassing 478 kills and 355 digs. Playing just two seasons, Borske totaled 1,192 kills and 751 digs.

NANCY BROOKHART

1987, 1988, 1989 // SECOND TEAM Nancy Brookhart and teammate Mary Eggers made for an intimidating combination along the front line during Illinois’ back-to-back Final Four seasons of 1987 and 1988. Brookhart ranked 17th nationally with a .373 clip hitting percentage in 1988 and set a Big Ten single-match record with a .941 clip (16 kills in 17 attempts) vs. Michigan in 1987. In 1987, Brookhart shared Big Ten Most Valuable Player honors with Eggers and was named to the NCAA Mideast Regional All-Tournament Team in ’87 as well. Brookhart’s 1,669 kills rank fourth all-time at Illinois, while her 540 kills in 1987 set an Illini record, which was eventually broken by Erin Borske in 1995. Brookhart exploded onto the scene as a freshman in 1985. Beyond Illinois, she played on a United States traveling team, was invited to the U.S. Olympic Festival in 1987, and played at the World University Games during the summer of 1986. Noted for her excitement and passion for the game on the court, Brookhart once told a reporter, “I’ve never had so much fun in my life. I come out for every match and find a way to have a good time.” A first team All-American at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Brookhart missed the 1986 NCAA Tournament after coming down with mononucleosis, but rebounded the following year to not only be named one of the Top 50 players in the country, but earn All-Regional accolades as Illinois advanced to its first Final Four.

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES LAURA BUSH

1989 // SECOND TEAM By the time 1989 rolled around, Illinois had established itself as a national power, and like most good baseball teams, the strength of the volleyball team could be be found up the middle. Bush became Illinois’ fourth superstar middle blocker and third All-American under Mike Hebert, who had quickly gained a reputation in producing strong players at the position. Ironically, Bush moved from outside hitter to the middle after Mary Eggers sustained an injury during a match early in the 1988 season. Even at the outside, Bush developed into one of the Illini’s top blockers.

Bush, who led Illinois with 449 kills in 1989, also garnered first team Academic All-America honors by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). A native of one of the small-school powers in Illinois, Stewardson-Strasburg, Bush earned a perfect 5.0 grade-point average during her first semester on campus. Illinois Athletic Director Neale Stoner helped coin the phrase “The ’80s belong to the Illini,” and with Bush, Eggers, Brookhart and others, the Illini not only advanced to the Final Four in volleyball during the 1988-89 season, but the “Flying Illini” did so in basketball as well. The following year, Bush and one of the stars of the basketball team, Kendall Gill, shared the spotlight as the Illini’s Female and Male Athletes of the Year. In that 1989 All-America season, Bush led Illinois to the Regional Final and a No. 7 national ranking while not only leading the Illini in kills, but blocks (116) and digs (308) as well. She also became the third player in team history to win the Sandy Scholtens Award.

LAURA DEBRULER

2009 - FIRST TEAM // 2008 - SECOND Laura DeBruler helped represent a rebirth of Illinois volleyball during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. The hard-hitting precision swings of the 5-10 player made her an instant fan favorite, even as a freshman in 2007. That year DeBruler led all freshmen nationally in kills per game en route to All-Big Ten Honorable Mention accolades. She had 28 kills in her collegiate debut against Bowling Green in 2007 and finished with 577 for the season. Over the next two seasons, DeBruler earned two All-America honors all while leading the Illini to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances. She became one of the more popular players on campus, not only because of her skill and athleticism, but also because of her energy and humility. The 2010 season was one of high expectations for DeBruler and the Illini. Early in the season, she helped the Illini to victories over No. 2 Texas, ending the Longhorns’ 25-match home court winning streak, and No. 2 Penn State in front of a sold out Huff Hall, ending the Lions record 65-match Big Ten win streak. She became Illinois’ all-time leader in kills (1,883) and attacks (4,806) vs. Wisconsin before suffering a season-ending ACL tear a week later. Over her career, DeBruler earned eight Big Ten Player of the Week honors, two unanimous selections as FirstTeam All-Big Ten, and became just the fourth player in Illinois history to be named First Team All-America. During her career, DeBruler was named to 12 all-tournament teams, including being named MVP of three. In 2009, DeBruler ranked 15th nationally in kills per set (4.46) and 14th in the nation in points per set (4.96) while being named MVP of two tournaments.

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES MARY EGGERS

1988 HONDA AWARD (NAT’L POY) 1986, 1987, 1988 // FIRST TEAM In a golden era of Illinois volleyball full of great players, one stood out from the rest. At 5-11, she wasn’t the tallest player on the floor, but as the News-Gazette sportswriter Joe Milas described, “While others can jump higher, perhaps hit the ball harder, no one gets more out of each attack attempt than Eggers. Her ability to hang in the air, a la Michael Jordan, lets her see where to place the ball over, around, or through an opponent’s block. Her intense expression freezes the other team, and, just when they’re expecting a hard-hit ball, Eggers softly taps it over for a winner.”

A perhaps unassuming player off the court, no one was more competitive on it. A record-setting runner and talented basketball player in high school, Eggers chose to pursue her favorite sport, volleyball, in college. Once when a tornado warning halted play during a match, head coach Mike Hebert found Eggers and a teammate diving to the floor while playing handball in the hallway. Not only did Eggers earn three first team All-America awards, she earned the Honda Player of the year award in 1988-89. She was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1985 and earned four first team All-Big Ten selections and the league’s Most Valuable Player in 1986, 1987 and 1988. Eggers led the nation in hitting percentage in 1986 and 1988, setting an NCAA record with her .455 mark in 1986. Her career hitting percentage of .420 stood as the NCAA record until 1993 and currently ranks third all time. Eggers was the driving force behind two Final Four appearances for Illinois -- in 1987 and 1988. She holds Illinois records for most kills in a career (1,761) and has the top-three seasons in terms of hitting percentage (.455 in 1986, .436 in 1987 and .433 in 1988) in school history. She played with the USA National Team, competed professionally in Europe and currently is the head coach at Elon University.

KIRSTEN GLEIS 1992 // FIRST TEAM

Kirsten Gleis made the most of her one year at Illinois, getting the Illini back to the Elite Eight for the first time in four years. Gleis, a Dutch citizen, transferred to Illinois to complete her degree in economic geography. She had started for the National Team of Holland in the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona. At the time called perhaps the best player in Big Ten history, Gleis helped the Illini to a share of the conference championship. Her play and that of her teammates were instrumental in Illinois averaging over 3,000 fans per match in 1992. The Illini hosted both the NCAA first and second rounds and NCAA Regional, falling to No. 2 Stanford, 3-1, in the Regional Final. Illinois head coach Mike Hebert discovered Gleis while scouting for venues for the team’s European trip, and she became the second All-American at Illinois from Holland, joining Petra Laverman, the third team All-American in 1990. Gleis was named to every all-tournament, all-region and All-America team possible, including earning MVP honors at the Reebok Challenge and the Illini Classic. She totaled 456 kills, 45 aces, 106 blocks and 236 digs in her only season in Champaign as the primary offensive and defensive player. She was named Big Ten Player of the Week three times. Her influence went beyond the stat sheet. Posting a near perfect grade-point average, Gleis was the one the Illini went to when “we needed a steady influence on the floor, in team timeouts, or when the team needed a boost,” according to Hebert.

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES HILLARY HAEN

2010 - THIRD TEAM // 2009 - HM Like a starting quarterback of a football team, Hillary Haen was the engineer behind a team which reached as high as No. 5 in the nation in 2009 and emerged a legitimate Final Four contender in 2010 moving up to No. 3 and finishing the year No. 9. Haen was regarded as one of the top setters in the country in 2009 and 2010 and the accolades reflect that. She was two-time all-Big Ten selection, an allMideast Region choice, and became just the second setter in Illinois history to be named an All-American, joining Erin Virtue. Haen was 16th in the nation in assists in 2009 and 17th nationally in that department in 2010. She moved into fourth on Illinois’ all-time career assists list at 3,956 and her 1,471 assists during her senior season rank eighth best. Haen earned four All-Tournament accolades in her final two seasons, and was named MVP of the 2010 State Farm Illini Classic after posting 134 assists combined in three Illinois victories. As a sophomore, Haen was a right side hitter during her front row rotations and totaled 162 blocks for her career. In addition, she tallied 910 digs and 53 service aces. Illinois’ success in the late 2000s coincided with the recruiting class of 2007, which was ranked No. 6 nationally. Haen was considered one of the top three setters of that class. In her four years, Illinois advanced to three Sweet 16s; won 92 matches, including 20 over ranked opponents; and posted three straight 20-win seasons. In 2010, Illinois ended Texas’ 25-match home court winning streak, defeating the No. 2 Longhorns in three sets; and won a thrilling match over No. 2 Penn State, halting the Nittany Lions’ record 65-match Big Ten win streak. The Crystal Lake, Illinois, native was as accomplished off the court. The accounting major earned three straight Academic All-Big Ten honors.

LIZ MCMAHON

2014 // HONORABLE MENTION A fan favorite, McMahon put together the best season of her career as a senior, totaling 396 kills and 110 blocks to help lead the Fighting Illini back to the NCAA Regional. She opened her senior year with an unbelievable performance at the Illini Classic, earning Most Valuable Player honors and Big Ten Player of the Week after leading the tournament with a .426 hitting percentage with 24 kills and 10 blocks in three straight Illini sweeps. McMahon would go on to be named to every All-Tournament team during preconference play, with the help of a 19-kill performance at No. 2 Stanford and 18 kills against Virginia Tech. McMahon was recognized for her performance on the court with an All-Big Ten and All-America Honorable Mention, but her talents far exceeded the playing domain. McMahon became the first Illini in any sport to earn the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, taking home over 30 percent of the fan vote among the 10 finalists. An Academic All-District Second Team honoree, she was once again named Academic All-Big Ten and a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar. Following the close of the school year, one of the largest honors in the Big Ten was bestowed upon her, as she was named the female recipient of the 2014 Big Ten Medal of Honor.

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES TINA ROGERS

1992 // SECOND TEAM One of the most popular players in Illinois history, Tina Rogers came to Illinois from one of the state’s small-school giants, Mt. Pulaski, leading the Hilltoppers to the 1989 state title and earning News-Gazette Player of the Year honors. Andrew Bagnato of the Chicago Tribune wrote “On a campus whose sports spotlight is dominated by men’s basketball and football, she is the lone female athlete big enough to need only a first name. At Illinois there is Jason (Verduzco), there is Deon (Thomas), and there is Tina.”

After missing part of the 1991 season following arthroscopic knee surgery, Rogers didn’t emerge as a force until the 1992 season. Nicknamed “The Big Hurt” after White Sox slugger Frank Thomas, Rogers ranked third in the Big Ten in hitting percentage (.385), one of four Illini in the top five. Her 67 aces in 1992 led the conference and are still an Illinois record, and her 143 career aces are fifth all-time. Rogers played in one of the best eras of Illini volleyball. Illinois led the nation in attendance in both 1992 and 1993 and qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of Rogers’ four years. A four-time Big Ten Player of the Week, Rogers led the Illini to a 90-39 mark in her four years. After the graduation of Lorna Henderson from the 1992 team and Kirsten Gleis’ decision to return to Holland, Rogers was the focal point of the 1993 offense, setting an Illinois record with seven 20-kills matches, a mark which is currently seventh-most in Illinois history. Her 32 kills vs. Southwest Missouri set an Illinois record for kills in a three-game match. She was honored with the 1993-94 Dike Eddleman Award, given to Illinois’ top male and female athletes.

ERIN VIRTUE

2003 // HONORABLE MENTION Erin Virtue helped signal a revival in Illinois volleyball. A major reason for the Illini’s first Sweet 16 appearance in five years, Virtue had 1,627 assists in 2003, fifth most in Illinois history. A first team All-Big Ten honoree, she was second in the league in assists per game (13.56) and was named to three All-Tournament teams. Virtue helped engineer home victories over No. 11 Penn State and a come-from behind victory over nationally-ranked Minnesota at Huff Hall. A victory over No. 19 Louisville sent the Illini into the NCAA Sweet 16 in Hawaii. Virtue made her presence felt in all areas, leading the team and ranking seventh in the Big Ten in service aces (40), while ranking second on the team and 18th in the conference in digs (2.68). She also totaled 15 double-doubles on the season. A native of St. Charles, Illinois, Virtue helped guide her high school, St. Francis, to second in the state as a senior. Virtue and the Illini looked forward to another strong season in 2004. She was named a Preseason AllAmerican that year, and Illinois was ranked in the preseason Top 25. The senior helped the Illini to one of the program’s most memorable wins in school history -- a comeback three games to two win over No. 1 USC, the two-time defending national champion who entered the match with the longest win streak in NCAA history, 52 matches. With the win, Illinois moved to No. 9 in the polls. Unfortunately, Virtue suffered a career-ending ACL tear the following weekend. “Erin helped to transform the direction of this program,” her coach Don Hardin said.

AVCA ALL-AMERICA PROFILES COLLEEN WARD

2011 - FIRST TEAM // 2010 - SECOND When Colleen Ward elected to transfer to Illinois from Florida for the 2010 season, coach Kevin Hambly said that put Illinois in the discussion for the Final Four and national championship. Ward, the No. 7 ranked player in her class coming out of high school, did just that for the Fighting Illini. In two years, the Naperville, Illinois, native had 1,051 kills and 714 digs and propelled the Illini to the Sweet 16 in 2010 and all the way to the national championship match in 2011, the first in the history of the program.

Nicknamed “Ace Ward” by longtime play-by-play man Dave Loane, Ward had an impressive debut setting the Illinois record for aces in a match with nine vs. BYU. Ward served eight straight points to the help the Illini pull away from No. 2 Texas early in the season in Austin. With Laura DeBruler missing most of the 2010 season due to injury, Ward stepped in as Illinois’ top scoring threat. In 2011, Ward was named to two All-Tournament teams and had a combined 29 kills in road victories over Ohio St. and Penn St., helping the Illini to their first win in State College in 16 years. But Ward saved her best for the NCAA Tournament. In an interesting twist of fate, she returned to Gainesville, her college home for two years, for the NCAA Regional. Ward mas named the Most Outstanding Player of the Regional, posting 38 kills and 20 digs while hitting .319 in wins over Ohio State and Florida. The last point saw Ward hit high hands off the Gator block and the ball sailed all the way past the base line. She served four straight points in the critical fifth set in a 3-2 victory over No. 1 USC in the national semifinal and was named to the all-NCAA Tournament Team after combining for 44 kills and 35 digs in matches against USC and UCLA. Ward led Illinois with 101 kills in the NCAA Tourney and was named First Team All-American.
