Sun Belt Conference News and Notes
2012 Sun Belt Conference Volleyball Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series. During the 2012-13 season the Sun Belt Conference’s membership will consist of Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, FIU, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky University. Ten of the 11 current Sun Belt members play football at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level. As the conference moves forward to the year 2013, the league will be comprised of 12 members with ArkansasLittle Rock, Arkansas State, Georgia State, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Texas-Arlington, Texas State, Troy and Western Kentucky
University. The reformatted league will have 10 football playing members of the 12 total members. The league’s new look will feature two evenly matched and geographically logical divisions divided into an East Division and West Division. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in 2012 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Fans of the Sun Belt Conference can look forward to seeing more Sun Belt teams playing on national television on ESPN and ESPN2 and additionally the new ESPN deal will result in more coverage on ESPNU. ESPN will continue to televise the
conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 32nd straight season in 2013, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. Success has been easy to find in recent years as well. Since the 2007 football season, the Sun Belt Conference ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC. The world has taken notice of the
In 1979 the Sun Belt Conference became known as a leader in college sports broadcasting by being the first conference to sign a long-term contract with the ESPN. Sun Belt Conference events can be seen regularly on the ESPN family of networks today. 4
Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Troy and Western Kentucky. The league’s APR numbers are up compared to a year ago, as Sun Belt Conference institutions improved from 92.4 percent of all programs hitting the 925 threshold. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe) and actor Andy Garcia (FIU). The conference’s first 36 years have also produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985.

Sun Belt Conference News and Notes
Sun Belt Conference as well. Proof of that comes as the league now has two automatic tie-ins to postseason bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl agreement with the Sun Belt Conference ensures that a Sun Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013 (the league has sent a team to that game every year since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt Conference also recently signed an extension with the GoDaddy.com Bowl, played annually in Mobile, Alabama, that will ensure that a Sun Belt team plays in that bowl game through 2017. Over 95 percent of Sun Belt Conference teams earned a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) of over 925 as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) released its annual APR report recently. The most recent APR scores are based on a multi-year rate that averages scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 201011 academic years. The Division I Board of Directors set cut scores of 925 and 900 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible immediate and historical sanctions. In total, 95.2 percent of Sun Belt Conference teams earned a multi-year APR score over 925. Eight institutions had 100 percent of their programs score above the 925 mark, those institutions are: UALR, Denver, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-Lafayette,

Beginning on July 1, 2013 the Sun Belt Conference will take on a new configuration as Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State join the league. The new additions to the Sun Belt Conference add not just stability to the league, but also strength. The Sun Belt Conference will remain a 10-team football league and restore its position as a 12-team basketball league because of the additions. Additionally, the Sun Belt Conference will be able to restore a logical geographical split for divisional play. The additions to the Sun Belt Conference bring a combined student enrollment of nearly 100,000 students (Texas-Arlington - 32,975, Texas State - 32,572 and Georgia State - 31,533). The new additions also bring a combined 5.5 million television households to the Sun Belt. Institutional Profiles of Future Sun Belt Members Georgia State University Atlanta, Ga. 31,533 Enrollment Georgia State is the second largest of the 35 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia with an enrollment of more than 30,000 students. The university offers 54 degrees in 250 fields of study with more than 1,200 faculty members. Georgia State’s campus now occupies 34 acres of downtown Atlanta with 40 buildings and 7.5 million square feet of downtown owned. Construction is on the drawing boards with numerous new projects. A multi-million dollar Parker H. Petit Science Center with laboratories and classrooms opened in 2010, next to the Sports Arena. Georgia State has graduated 179,000 alumni since the first class was taught in 1913. Currently it is estimated that there are 100,000 alumni living in the metro Atlanta area. Georgia State is in the heart of activity of downtown Atlanta. The Sports Arena and center campus are less than a half-mile from the CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Phillips arena and the Georgia Dome. The campus intersects Peachtree Street, the main street of Atlanta. Georgia State played its inaugural football game on September 2010 at its new home in the nearby Georgia Dome. Football was officially launched on April 17, 2008, with Bill Curry named head coach on June 12, 2008. Dan Reeves had served as the consultant to the university during the feasibility study. A new practice facility was built just blocks from the Sports Arena on MLK Drive. Georgia State student-athletes have maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for six consecutive semesters. Additionally, GSU’s combined Academic Progress Rate (APR) for all sports is 965. Georgia State has developed a Master Facilities Plan to address the future needs of every sport to best position each program for success. The centerpiece of the Master Facilities Plan is a renovation and expansions
of the Georgia State Sports Arena that will transform the existing facility into a modern, 5,000- seat arena for basketball and other campus events. University of Texas-Arlington Arlington, Texas 32,975 Enrollment The University of Texas at Arlington sets the standard for educational excellence in the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth area. With an enrollment approaching 33,500, it’s the second largest institution in the UT System and the sixth largest in Texas. UTA is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a high research activity institution. The university offers 80 baccalaureate, 74 master’s, and 31 doctoral degrees. The university encompasses approximately 420 acres and 100 buildings. The campus is situated near the southern edge of the downtown area of Arlington that contains the city government offices as well as the Texas and Pacific Railway line that the city was originally established around. Johnson Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, runs along the southern portion of the campus. Cooper Street runs through the middle of the campus and provides access to Interstates 20 and 30. The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Cowboys Stadium, and the Six Flags Over Texas theme park are all located 2–3 miles to the northeast. In the past few years, several construction and renovation projects have been initiated. New buildings currently under construction include a $150 million engineering research complex, a $78 million special events center, and the $80 million College Park. The special events center and adjacent College Park area are located on the eastern edge of the campus and will serve as a link to downtown Arlington and alleviate a shortage of parking through the addition of 1,800 spaces. With new structures continually rising from the landscape, UT Arlington’s physical campus is undergoing a dramatic transformation. These ambitious projects represent literal signs of growth for a university steadily increasing in national prominence, and they provide visual proof of progress toward becoming a major research university. In the past 10 years, the total square footage in all campus buildings has increased more than 30 percent to 5,227,681. The 234,000-square-foot Engineering Research Building opened in January 2011 and will enhance research partnerships between the College of Engineering and College of Science. The new College Park Center is a $78 million, 218,000-square-foot facility and is a transformational jewel for the campus of nearly 33,000 students and a catalyst for revitalization in the city’s central business district. It provides a new home court for the university’s basketball and volleyball teams, which previously played in Texas Hall, and also gives the city of Arlington a signature facility for high-profile events and entertainment, conferences, and community activities. Of UT Arlington’s 157,000 alumni, approximately 108,000 live in
North Texas. Their presence helps the university create an annual economic impact of more than $1 billion in the region.

Texas State University San Marcos, Texas 32,572 Enrollment Texas State University is a public, student-centered, doctoral-granting institution dedicated to excellence in serving the educational needs of the diverse population of Texas and the world beyond. Texas State’s main campus is in San Marcos, a growing community of 50,000 people about halfway between Austin and San Antonio. Located on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, where black land prairies roll into beautiful hills, Texas State enjoys a setting that is unique among Texas universities. As the university’s student population has grown — from 303 in 1903 to 34,087 in 2011 — the San Marcos campus, too, has expanded. Today it consists of a 457-acre main campus and 5,038 additional acres in recreational, instructional, farm and ranch land. In September 2010, Texas State University initiated a review and update of the 2006-2015 Campus Master Plan (CMP) with the assistance of Broaddus Planning of Austin, Texas. The Capital Project Budget calls for a total of $739,665,178 to be spent on completing the Campus Master Plan. To date, $150,658,273 has already been spent on improvements
and new projects at Texas State. Texas State’s 34,087 students choose from 97 bachelor’s, 87 master’s and 12 doctoral degree programs offered by the following colleges: Applied Arts, McCoy College of Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts and Communication, Health Professions, Liberal Arts, Science and Engineering, University College and the Graduate College. Texas State University is the only university in the state to have a former President of the United States as an alumnus. President Lyndon B. Johnson graduated from what was then Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1930 with a teaching certificate and a Bachelor of Science in history. In 1965, he returned to Southwest Texas State College, as the school was known then, to sign the Higher Education Act of 1965. Of the student body, about 29,000 are undergraduate students with the remaining 5,000 students being post-baccalaureate or graduate students. The university accepted about 75% of applicants who applied to attend the Fall 2010 semester, this includes the guaranteed acceptance of any Texas high school graduate with a grade point average that ranked them in the top 10% of their high school class. Between 61% and 64% of undergraduate students earn their degree after four years. Hispanic students made up 25% of the student body in 2010, which increased to 27% in 2011, qualifying the university to be designated as a Hispanic-serving institution.

SUN BELT SENDS MULTIPLE TEAMS TO NCAA TOURNAMENT No. 24 Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee represented the Sun Belt Conference in the postseason as both teams earned berths to the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Tournament. The teams’ berths mark the fifth consecutive season the Sun Belt Conference sent multiple teams to the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament. The league also sent WKU and MT to the NCAA’s postseason in 2010. The 2011 Lady Topper squad is only the fifth in program history to win at least 30 matches in a season. The last team to do so was the 2005 squad that finished the season 31-3. WKU was only one of two teams in the country to reach 30+ wins this season, and the Lady Toppers rode a ten-match winning streak heading into the NCAA Tournament. Only No. 6 seed Northern Iowa (32-1) has more wins than WKU this season. The Blue Raiders made their sixth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament and seventh in program history. MT advanced to the 2011 Sun Belt Tournament championship match for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. After starting off the year 2-9 with one of the toughest schedules in the nation, the Blue Raiders rallied back to post a school-record 16-match win streak and finish the regular season winning 17 of their last 18 matches. Despite one of Lindsay Cheatham’s best performances of the season, the Middle Tennessee volleyball team fell in 3-1 (23-25, 27-25, 21-25, 18-25) fashion to Ohio State at Thompson-Boling Arena on the campus of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Cheatham finished the match with 11 kills to just one error, hitting at a match-best .526 rate to go along with five block assists. Maria Szivos was also effective on offense, posting 11 kills as well and collecting 10 digs and four blocks on defense. Morgan Peterson tallied a double-double as well with 33 assists and a team-best 14 digs. Oyinlola Oladinni was third on the team in kills with eight, and the La Vergne native became just the 12th player in school history to surpass the 1,000 career kill mark late in the second set.Brandi Waller came off the bench to add seven kills. The No. 24 Western Kentucky University volleyball team fell 3-1 (21-25, 25-22, 24-26, 23-25) to Marquette in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Huff Hall on the campus of the University of Illinois. The Lady Toppers (31-4) posted a .217 hitting percentage and recorded 53 kills with only 22 attack errors. WKU recorded 15 team blocks and 58 digs in the match. WKU junior outside hitter Jordyn Skinner led the offense with 13 kills while sophomore Janee’ Diggins and redshirt sophomore Paige Wessel each tallied 10 kills. Lady Toppers senior Lindsay Williams recorded eight kills and a team best .333 hitting percentage. Defensively, sophomore Ashley Potts paced the team with 20 digs, her eighth match this season where she has recorded 20 plus digs. Skinner capped the season with her 21st double-double of the season as she posted 10 digs. Junior Sarah Rogers added eight digs. After winning the 2011 Sun Belt Conference Volleyball Championship, the Lady Toppers earned the league’s automatic bid to secure the team’s second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and sixth overall. WKU is ranked No. 24 in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I Coaches Top 25 poll and No. 21 in the NCAA RPI. The Lady Toppers earned the No. 1 seed in the SBC Tournament after clinching the East Division crown en route to earning their fourth conference championship in program history and first since 2008.

HEAD COACH HEATHER MAZEITIS-FONTENOT(5th Season, Central Oklahoma) CAREER OVERALL RECORD: 279-330 (.458) | CAREER ULL OVERALL: 48-78 (.381) The path of improvement has continued on a steady upward trend every year since Heather Mazeitis-Fontenot arrived at Lafayette in January 2008. Mazeitis-Fontenot’s first campaign saw the squad double its win total from the previous season. In 2009, ULL recorded the highest win total since 2002. In 2010, ULL notched 17 victories for the first time in a decade and qualified for the Sun Belt Tournament for the first time since 2002. Last season, the Ragin’ Cajuns 14 victories marked the first time since 2001-02 that the program recorded double figure victories in backto-back seasons. Prior to her arrival in Cajun Country, Mazeitis-Fontenot spent seven seasons at the helm at Louisiana Tech (2001-07). She led La. Tech to a combined 53 victories in her first three seasons, an average of nearly 18 wins per season – the program had averaged just 11 wins per season in the four previous seasons. Before Tech, the Leavenworth, Kan., native led a successful junior college volleyball program at Kansas City CC (1996-2000). The winningest coach in KCKCC history, she compiled a 155-110 record. Mazeitis-Fontenot earned a degree in business administration in 1992 from Central Oklahoma where she played middle blocker. In May 2009, she married Tim Fontenot of nearby Mamou, La.

Louisiana-Lafayette is a coeducational public research university located in the heart of Acadiana. It is the largest campus within the eight-campus University of Louisiana System and is the second largest university in the state of Louisiana. Founded in 1900 as an industrial institute, Louisiana-Lafayette is recognized for excellence in computer science and its graduate program in evolutionary and environmental biology. It offers Louisiana’s only PhD in Francophone studies, only doctoral degree in cognitive science and only industrial design degree. The campus consists of 137 acres lined by live oak trees. Its quadrangle is encircled by a “Walk of Honor” path which contains more than 80,000 bricks bearing the names of every graduate, beginning with the first graduating class of 1903. Also centered in the campus is Cypress Lake, a swamp-like microcosm of the nearby Atchafalaya Basin, home to alligators, turtles, birds and fish.

The Arlington, Texas, native enters her third season running the Ragin’ Cajuns offense. The squad’s starting setter, Gavin needs 816 assists during the 2012 season to become only the fourth player in program history with 3,000 career assists. Her 6-foot-2 frame allows the Cajuns to utilize her in blocking schemes, in addition to setting her teammates on offense. Gavin has been Louisiana’s second-leading blocker the past two years. With the departure of Lesley Mirarchi, she will be counted on to lead the front-line defense. It’s possible to see Gavin split her time between setter and middle blocker with backup setter Andrea Hole back after a solid rookie year in 2011.
TAYLOR MEADE - JR. › L/OH › 5’10” The rising junior is the top returning server, not only for UL, but the entire Sun Belt Conference. The Cajuns service in 2011 was boosted by Meade who led the SBC in aces per set (0.43). Meade registered a Sun Beltleading tally of 48 service aces, finishing five shy of the SBC rally scoring era single season Top 5. Meade’s tally increased her career service aces total to 97, moving her into the Top 5 in UL’s rally scoring era record books. Like Mandi Gavin, she is a dual threat for UL serving as libero and outside hitter. With the addition of a pair of outside

HEAD COACH KEN MURCZEK (3rd Season, San Diego State) CAREER OVERALL RECORD: 37-30 (.617) | CAREER UNT OVERALL: SAME Ken Murczek was handed the reigns of the North Texas volleyball program in January of 2010, and wasted no time in making the Mean Green a force in the Sun Belt Conference. In his first season at the helm, Murczek guided the Mean Green to just its second Sun Belt West Division title. The former Kansas and Virginia assistant led the Mean Green to just the fifth 20-win season in program history after being picked fourth of six teams in the SBC West’s Preseason Poll. He followed that year with a 17-17 campaign, which gave the program its first back-to-back .500-plus seasons since its founding in 1976 and 1977. Academics are at the heart of Murczek’s vision for the Mean Green, and after his first season at the helm NT was presented with the AVCA Team Academic Award for the first time in school history. The Mean Green followed that award with another AVCA Team Academic Award in 2011.

HEAD COACH SONNY KIRKPATRICK (7th Season, Lycoming) CAREER OVERALL RECORD: 316-333 (.487) | CAREER TROY OVERALL: 77-115 (.401) Elijah “Sonny” Kirkpatrick enters his seventh season at the helm of the Troy University volleyball program, after he became the eighth head coach in program history in 2006. In his first six seasons, Kirkpatrick has posted 77 victories as the head man in Troy while narrowly missing the Sun Belt Tournament on three different occasions, before finally breaking through in 2011. In 2011, the Trojans started the season 12-4 but posted a 6-10 mark in Sun Belt play. Troy finished the season in a three-way tie for the eighth and final spot in the Sun Belt Tournament, but for the first time under Kirkpatrick, Troy made it to the postseason tournament. After a quarterfinal loss to eventual champion WKU, the Trojans finished the season with a 16-15 mark, the first winning record for the program since 2003. In addition to the team success, Courtney Cohen was named All-Sun Belt after breaking a school record with 525 digs. She became the second All-Sun Belt selection in Troy history, both coming under Kirkpatrick’s watch.

HEAD COACH TRAVIS HUDSON (18th Season, Western Kentucky) CAREER OVERALL RECORD: 407-176 (.698) | CAREER WKU OVERALL: SAME Western Kentucky head coach Travis Hudson enters his 18th season at the helm of the Lady Topper volleyball program, looking to build off the program’s 11th consecutive 25-win season in 2011. A three-time Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year and a two-time AVCA South Region Coach of the Year, Hudson has led the Lady Toppers to six NCAA Tournament appearances and four conference tournament championships, with the most recent in 2011. Hudson led WKU to seven-straight Sun Belt Conference East Division Championships from 2000 through 2006 before taking it again last season, and appeared in nine of 11 SBC Tournament Championships matches through the 2011 season. Over that stretch, the Lady Toppers have compiled a 304-78 (.796) record and a 132-18 (.880) mark in Sun Belt Conference matches. Reaching the 400-career wins plateau last season, Hudson ranks as the all-time winningest coach in Lady Topper volleyball history and is the leader among active coaches in the Sun Belt Conference with 183 career conference wins. Hudson returns nine letterwinners from a squad that went 31-4 in 2011, including AVCA All-Americans Jordyn Skinner and Melanie Stutsman.

2012 Sun Belt Conference Volleyball YARIMAR ROSA (FIU) holds the Sun Belt Conference rally-scoring era record for most kills in a season with 657 in 2008 and is second on the rally-scoring era list for kills in a career with 2,083 (2006-2009).
Prior to 1996, sideout scoring was used for all sets. In 1996, rally scoring was adopted for ONLY the deciding game (5th game) of a 3 out of 5 game match. In 2001, rally scoring was first used for ALL games in women’s collegiate play. Games were a 30-point scoring format until 2008, when the games switched to a 25-point format (except for the fifth set, which is a 15-point format). Rally-Scoring era records begin with the 2001 season.
