VOLLEYBALL

Every sport at LSU is expected to win championships. Our program is built on the tradition of winning on the court, in the classroom and in the community. Our student athletes are provided with the tools to succeed in every aspect of life. We pride ourselves on being champions in all aspects. Team unity and team ownership are important concepts in our program, as we are not only teammates on the court, we are also truly teammates for life. LSU volleyball is a family and each and every member will leave her legacy on the program. Our players – past present and future are the caretakers of our program and everyone who has had the honor to wear the purple and gold understands what that means and will pass that legacy on to those who follow. There is a term in our state,” Lagniappe”, which means a little

In athletics, just as in life, if you are willing to do a little something extra, you are paving the way for a very successful future. We must all earn our way, through hard work on the court and in the classroom and be willing to do a little something extra in every aspect of life to carry the championship tradition or our program forward. Fran Flory takes pride in celebrating LSU volleyball’s decorated history. Each year, the program plays host to an Alumnae Weekend to pay tribute and honor the players of the past [the 2012 Alumnae Weekend is pictured at the top of page 3]. In 2009, the Tigers honored the 1991 Final Four team and former head coach Scott Luster during the Kentucky match to conclude Alumnae Weekend [pictured at the bottom of page 3].

LSU is one of only two schools in SEC history with multiple Final Four appearances. The Tigers went to back-to-back Final Fours in 1990 and 1991.

In each of the last five seasons, LSU has won a medal with the prestigious USA A2 program. Former All-Americans Brittnee Cooper and Elena Martinez won gold in 2008, while Cooper picked up a silver medal in 2009. Former assistant coach Steven Loeswick added a bronze medal in 2010 followed by head coach Fran Flory’s gold medal in 2011 and Meghan Mannari’s silver medal in 2012.

LSU has made 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, which is tied for second-most among SEC schools. The Tigers have strung together six consecutive bids from 2005-10 for a program record passing up the five straight postseason bids recorded between the 1989-93 seasons.

All-Americans

The Tigers have 12 AVCA All-Americans in program history, secondmost of any SEC school. Brittnee Cooper was one of 14 players to earn AVCA First-Team honors in 2009. LSU garnered a pair of AVCA All-Americans from 2007-09, the first time in program history the Tigers have had two AllAmericans in three straight seasons.

The Tigers have notched five postseason SEC honors highlighted by Brittnee Cooper’s 2009 SEC Player of the Year award. Elena Martinez reeled in 2007 and 2008 SEC Defensive Player of the Year, while Marina Skender and Desiree Elliott tallied SEC Freshman of the Year honors in 2005 and 2010, respectively.

LSU claimed the SEC regular season titles in 1986, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2009. The ’09 Tigers ended Florida’s 18-run year at the top of the league. LSU posted undefeated marks in both 1990 and 1991 only dropping six sets during the two-year span.

Over the last six seasons, LSU has won 25 of its 38 five-set matches sparked by nine victories in 2007. The Tigers overcame a 2-1 deficit to upend No. 14 New Mexico State during the opening round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament.

The Tigers have won seven straight SEC Western Division crowns and are an impressive 55-5 over the last six seasons against their division. LSU pieced together a run of 35 straight home wins over the SEC West from 2004-11.

Maravich Maravich Center

CENTER

LSU volleyball heads into its 31st season at the Pete

Maravich Assembly Center in 2012, the largest volleyball venue in the SEC. The structure, which was renamed in honor of the all-time LSU and NCAA men’s basketball scoring leader on July 22, 1988, seats 13,215 and ranks as one of the finest college athletic arenas in the nation. Over the last seven seasons, the Tigers have racked up a dominant 71-15 (.826) mark at home sparked by a 34-1 (.971) run versus SEC Western Division opponents. LSU volleyball moved into a new state-of-the-art locker room facility off the southwest corridor starting in 2011. Decorated by numerous graphics showcasing the program’s prominent history, the fully carpeted facility also features a new locker, film, equipment and training rooms. The auxiliary gym located underground in the north section of the arena was converted to a volleyball only practice facility leading into the 2010 season. Volleyball fans also can see a redesigned concourse with video and graphic displays, renovated concession stands and video kiosks showcasing the best of the sports that play in the building. On July 1, 2004, the management of the Maravich Center came under the direction of the LSU Athletics Department and underwent a multi-year refurbishment. The renovations have included new television lighting, an interior makeover and new roof surface. Prior to the 2007 season, the main arena got a new subfloor and a new playing floor. In the summer of 2008, the auxiliary practice gym also received a new floor. The outside windows of the building now feature the Tiger mascot running around the arena. In addition, all seats in

the 100 lower level were replaced leading into the 2010-11 basketball season. Between 1985 and 1992, the Maravich Center was one of the top home courts in the nation, as LSU ran up a 110-10 (.917) record. During that time, LSU recorded a 37-match home-court win streak, which is the second-longest streak in SEC history. In 1991, the Tigers enjoyed possibly their finest season in the arena as LSU recorded a perfect 16-0 record and advanced to the Final Four through the NCAA South Regional in Baton Rouge. The Tigers have posted 14 consecutive seasons without a losing record in the Maravich Center under head coach Fran Flory, making it once again a tough place for visiting teams to play. Over that span, LSU has a record of 123-48 (.719), including double digit wins during four of the last six seasons. The Maravich Center has played host to SEC and NCAA Tournaments for volleyball, basketball and gymnastics. The 1982, 1987 and 1995 SEC Volleyball Championships were all held in the arena. The Tigers have produced a winning record in 27 of 30 seasons at the PMAC. LSU won its final eight league home matches in 2009 highlighted by a 3-0 sweep of No. 6 Florida to clinch the program’s fifth SEC championship. The Tigers also welcomed back postseason volleyball to the Maravich Center in 2009 for the first time since 1991. In total, the Maravich Center has been the site of four NCAA Championships as well as the 1991 NCAA South Regional.

LSU athletic trainers also meet one-on-one with student-athletes to give them expert nutritional information.

LSU boasts the largest and most complete athletic training facilities in all of collegiate athletics with both the Operations Center and the Broussard Center for Athletic Training in Tiger Stadium. Both are furnished with the latest in technology and equipment. The Operations Center training room features a full view of the practice fields, two hot/cold jacuzzis and an underwater treadmill. The Broussard Center includes an onsite x-ray room, an in-house pharmacy and a hydrotherapy pool. It is also one of the few collegiate training centers with a full-service pharmacy, vision center and dental center.

Hydrotherapy Treatment An integral part of rehabbing and developing LSU student-athletes is the operations center’s hot/cold jacuzzis and an underwater treadmill in a fully equipped Hydrotherapy room. The Broussard training center boasts the largest hydrotherapy pool in both collegiate and professional sports.

2012 LSU volleyball MEDIA GUIDE

On the Prowl Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located in the shadows of the north endzone of Tiger Stadium.

Mike The Tiger History of Mike Few mascots in the country are as admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal mascot serves as the graphic image of all LSU athletic teams. The school has had six mascots, with the most recent, Mike VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007 national championship football season. LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began the search for the young tiger after his predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of renal failure at the age of 17. The sevenyear-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores. Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room. Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls

That practice was discontinued shortly afterward and today Mike participates in the pregame tradition without provocation. In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home. The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

HISTORY

The original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium. Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.

Mike’s Habitat In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.

Sneaux Day On Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades. The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.

Just in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.

Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.

HISTORY

Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.

Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Indiana. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The seven-year-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year and most recently, a 2011 Southeastern Conference championship and perfect regular season.

About LSU Retired Jerseys The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

Rudy Macklin

WORLD-CLASS TIGERS

Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the second-leading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound record with 32, a mark like some of the great records in any sport that may never be broken.

Tommy Casanova

Muna Lee • 20-time track All-American • Two-time Olympian

Richard Thompson

Tommy Casanova is the only three-time All-American in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.

Ben McDonald

• Eight-time track All-American • 2008 Olympic Silver medalist

David Toms

Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the No. 1 pick in the major league draft in 1989 and went on to enjoy a 10-year major league career with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Seimone Augustus

• Two-time SEC Golfer of the Year • 2001 PGA Champion • 13-time PGA Tour winner

Todd Walker • All-time College World Series team • F ormer Major Leaguer

2012 Outlook

Seven seasons ago, the LSU volleyball program embarked on a historic journey. Many things have changed through the years; there have been dramatic victories and hard-fought defeats. Streaks have begun and ended; prolific players have emerged into decorated All-Americans and moved on. New talent has developed and taken the reigns of a proud program. With 159 victories, seven consecutive SEC Western Division titles highlighted by the league’s overall championship in 2009 and a run of six straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2005-10, head coach Fran Flory has guided LSU to a very successful stretch. As in the past, the 2012 season is no different. A new year for a new team, but the expectations still remain at the same high level. Will LSU continue to dominate the SEC West? Will the Tigers return to the NCAA Tournament? Will new streaks begin? Flory, who embarks on her 15th season at the helm of the LSU program, is not worries about the answers to those questions. The squad graduated Lauren Waclawczyck and Michele Williams, who capped their careers as the newest members of the program’s 1,000-dig and 1,000-kill clubs, respectively. “Lauren and Michele did anything and everything for our program during their careers,” Flory said. “Our program was blessed to have them not only as talented volleyball players but quality people. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will go forward and be very successful in whatever they decide to do. They will carry on the legacy of LSU volleyball in the right way.” However, the Tigers bring back a core group of returnees highlighted by six players that each saw action in over 105 sets last season. Five of those players earned All-SEC recognition during the 2011 season fueled by Desiree Elliott, Madie Jones and Meghan Mannari on the All-SEC Second team. Helen Boyle and Malorie Pardo will look to build on stellar All-SEC Freshman Team campaigns. LSU also possesses another top 30 recruiting class from PrepVolleyball.com sparked by AVCA Under Armour High School AllAmerica Watch List selections Khourtni Fears, Cati Leak and Katie Lindelow. Jackie Gerig also will join the Tigers after two NJCAA AllAmerican seasons at Blinn College to pave the way for an incredibly talented and dynamic group to make a run at is unprecedented eighth consecutive SEC Western Division crown. “It will be a new team with different learning experiences and a different path to where we have to go,” Flory said. “Our goal is to continue to develop into one of the nation’s elite programs. We have the potential to accomplish that goal with this core group of experienced players and talented newcomers. It’s hard to predict how successful we’ll be, but that adds a huge amount of excitement to the journey that lies ahead.” Flory has once again loaded up and will test her squad with another series of high-caliber opponents. LSU will play 16 matches versus 2011 NCAA Tournament opponents, including four teams that made the NCAA Round of 16. “We know we’re going to have to play with a high level of execution and intensity every time we take the floor if we want to continue to build on LSU volleyball’s championship tradition,” Flory said. “Our players know how hard they’ll have to work and what it takes to be successful at a championship level. As a coaching staff, we’ll have to manage

elliott

each challenge and put every player into a situation where they can be successful on a consistent basis. We have a lot of work to do before taking the floor on August 24, but it will be exciting to see how this group develops.” “We believe that playing against great competition week in and week out is only going to make us better,” Flory continued. “Matching up against the likes of Texas, San Diego, Purdue, Washington and North Carolina will prepare us for the rigors of the SEC. As a whole, the SEC is going to be extremely tough especially with the addition of quality programs like Missouri and Texas A&M.” Below is a look at the 2012 Tigers by position.

Middle Blockers Junior Desiree Elliott is the lone upperclassman and headlines a young group of gifted middle blockers. She has already hammered home 630 kills during her first two seasons and her 3.40 per set average in 2011 ranked eighth among the SEC leaders. The 2010 SEC Freshman of the Year also tallied a team-high 102 blocks to anchor LSU’s front row defense. “Desiree is the veteran of our middle blocker group, and we’ll look to her to establish a veteran presence on the front row,” Flory said. “She’s an explosive player and her quickness is a key to our exciting, up-tempo brand of volleyball.” Sophomores Marissa Maas and Madi Mahaffey are looking to build on freshmen seasons where they contributed in limited roles. Maas averaged 1.10 kills and 0.73 blocks over 14 appearances which included six starts, while Mahaffey posted 1.50 kills and 0.80 blocks during her six outings.

Sophomore Malorie Pardo started in 27 matches and handed out 11.71 assists per set, ninth-best in program history for a single season. The 2011 All-SEC Freshman-Team honoree’s 11.71 helpers also were second in the SEC and ranked ninth nationally. She recorded 2.16 digs per set and notched a team-leading 11 double-doubles. Junior Jackie Gerig was showered with a variety of awards during her two seasons at Blinn College in Texas. She came away with 2010 NJCAA All-America Second-Team accolades followed by 2011 NJCAA All-America First-Team status. The Towanda, Ill., native distributed 11.04 assists per set, third-highest in the NJCAA, as her team put together a 38-0 season to secure the 2011 national championship. “We’re excited about what Malorie and Jackie can bring to the table,” Flory said. “Both are outstanding students of the game who know how to control tempo, create offense and maintain momentum. As preseason camp unfolds, we’ll evaluate the benefits that each of them bring to our system.”

Defensive Specialists/Libero

“Both Marissa and Madi had very successful spring seasons,” Flory said. “Their knowledge base and understanding of the game continues to grow which enables them to be more effective and efficient. We feel like we have to find a formula that allows us to maximize their strengths that fit directly within our system.” Freshman Khourtni Fears notched multiple 20-5A All-District honors as a standout at Bellaire High School in Texas. She was ranked No. 27 on PrepVolleyball.com’s Senior Aces and named to the 2012 Volleyball Magazine/Rox Girls’ Fab 50. “Khourtni has the opportunity to make an instant impact,” Flory said. “Her speed, agility and and raw athletic ability allow her to make good things happen when she is on the court. If she can pick things up quickly in our system, she has the chance to have a special freshman season.”

Outside Hitters/Right Side Senior Madie Jones and sophomore Helen Boyle give LSU a powerful 1-2 punch on the outside. Jones had a breakout junior campaign and belted a team-best 380 kills at a 3.55 per set average. The Louisiana Volleyball Player of the Year tabulated 14 of her 20 double digit kills performances and elevated her average to a 3.82 kills per set during SEC play. Boyle shouldered a six-rotation load during her 28 starts as an AllSEC Freshman-Team performer. She compiled a balanced 2.06 kills, 2.93 digs and 0.38 blocks per set. “Madie and Helen are two outstanding outsides that bring something unique to our offense,” Flory said. “I think Madie is extremely motivated for her senior year, while Helen has a chance to build on her solid freshman season. Both can terminate using a variety of shots. Being able to end long rallies and win tightly-contested sets is going to be a key component to our success in 2012.” Freshmen Cati Leak and Katie Lindelow also will be in the mix for time on the outside. Leak racked up 2,913 kills and 2,256 digs as the two-time Alabama Gatorade Player of the Year recipient after leading Guntersville High School to a trio of state championships. Lindelow recorded 1,430 kills and 1,321 digs at Mandeville High School en route to the 2010 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year award. She comes from a strong volleyball pedigree as her sister, Rachel, was a 2009 AVCA All-American Honorable Mention pick at Tulane. “We’re pleased anytime we can add the top volleyball players from Louisiana and Alabama to our program,” Flory said. “Cati and Katie are tremendous athletes who are fierce competitors. They are physical, sixrotation players that will rise to any challenge that are presented and will push for playing time right away.” A combination of Jones, Leak and Mahaffey will take swings on the right side when not at their original positions.

LSU returns two-thirds of its defensive unit in seniors Meghan Mannari and Sam Delahoussaye that racked up a SEC-best 16.52 digs per set during SEC matches. Mannari sparked the back row defense with 518 digs at a 4.67 digs per set average to rank second in the SEC. The 518 digs for the 2011 AVCA All-South Region Honorable Mention recipient also was the thirdhighest total for a single season. She also cranked a team-high 38 aces, charted a team-best 14 perfect passer rating with 10 or more attempts and heads into the season 189 scoops away from reaching the 1,000digs plateau. “Meghan has clearly brought her game up to its highest level as she enters her senior season fresh off a silver medal with the USA A2 Program,” Flory said. “We’re extremely proud of the steps that she took in 2011 moving into the libero role on our defense in 2011.” Delahoussaye has started her career with 92 consecutive appearances and has been a key contributor to LSU’s ability to play excellent defense and pass well. She corralled 2.16 digs per set and totaled 10 double figure dig performances to rank fourth on the team. Senior Victoria Jacobsen, junior Brittany Steele and freshman Haley Smith will add depth to the backcourt. Jacobsen and Steele have seen limited action during their first two seasons with the Tigers with Jacobsen being used primarily as a serving specialist, while Smith registered 962 digs to secure a program single-season record at Chalmette High School in Louisiana. “Our back row continues to embrace our mantra of the first touch being the most important,” Flory said. “Their ability to work together and pass at a high level consistently will allow our high-octane offense to stay in-system. The unit has great comradery and are very comfortable playing with each other. They’ll continue to provide our team with outstanding energy and will make match-changing plays when we need them.”

Fran Flory Head CoACH When Fran Flory was hired as LSU’s fifth volleyball coach leading into the 1998 season, she was charged with the duty of leading the Tigers back to national prominence. The Baton Rouge native has accomplished just that as she moves into her 15th season at the helm of the program. LSU has been nothing short of spectacular and continues to raise its level of success under Flory. Dating back to the 2005 season, the Tigers have won seven consecutive SEC Western Division crowns and are one of only 25 programs to reach the NCAA Tournament in six of the last seven seasons. The seven straight division titles is the second-longest streak in SEC history, while the six consecutive NCAA Tournament bids from 2005-10 were a program record. LSU has posted 22.7 wins per season and spent 50 weeks ranked inside the Bison/ AVCA Top 25 poll climbing as high as No. 10 on two occasions during the seven-year run. The Tigers also have tallied eight American Volleyball Coaches Association [AVCA] AllSouth Region First-Team picks, including a pair of AVCA All-Americans from 2007-09 for the first time in program history. LSU has been represented on the national stage as a part of USA Volleyball Women’s A2 National Team in each of the last five seasons. Flory captured a gold medal in 2011 after leading the USA A2

Head Coach Fran Flory LSU returned to the NCAA Tournament and rolled past Tulane during their opener before falling in a five-set affair to Texas A&M in the second round. Following the successful season, the individual accolades began to pour in for the Purple and Gold. Flory was recognized as the AVCA South Region, SEC and Louisiana Coach of the Year. Cooper added to LSU’s rich heritage with the program’s first SEC Player of the Year award along with AVCA All-America First-Team honors to join the elite company of Monique Adams (1991) and Angie Miller (1992). Her .409 hitting percentage set a program single-season mark. Under Flory’s guidance, LSU has secured 37 All-SEC selections, including 14 First-Team picks. In 2009, Cooper was joined by Sam Dabbs and Marina Skender to become the first Tiger trio to notch All-SEC First-Team honors in the same season. Martinez notched 2007 & 2008 SEC Defensive Player of the Year in addition to AVCA All-America Honorable Mention accolades. She finished her career second in program history reeling in 1,414 digs and her professional team, Llaneras de Toa Baja in Puerto Rico, earned a runner-up finish in 2010. LSU has dominated with 46 All-Louisiana selections highlighted by 28 First-Team honors. The five-time Louisiana Coach of the Year also has led her players to every individual state award, including five players, four freshmen, three defensive players and two newcomers of the Year. Flory’s success at LSU, however, hasn’t been solely on the court. The Tigers have registered 101 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections. The program also collected nearly 3,000 books for Dufrocq Elementary School in 2011 as part of the “Geaux Books” program created and championed by Waclawczyk. The 2008 Tigers overcame injuries and finished the regular season with six straight wins to collect their fourth straight divisional title.

The Tigers made the 2006 season a year to remember after racking up a 26-6 mark. The 26 victories and No. 19 final national ranking were accomplished for the first time in program history since the 1992 season. LSU also won the SEC Western Division crown outright setting a program mark along the way with 16 league victories. Flory garnered her second consecutive Louisiana Coach of the Year award. Daniela Romero tacked on AVCA All-America Honorable Mention after securing All-SEC First Team and Louisiana Player of the Year. She was joined by Skender to give the Tigers two All-SEC First-Team picks for the first time since 1999. LSU’s return to volleyball prominence began in 2005 as the Tigers finished 21-8 sharing its first SEC Western Division championship and garnered its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1992. After Hurricane Katrina turned the Maravich Center into the largest field hospital in the United States, LSU played its first 17 matches on the road traveling over 14,000 miles. Ivana Kuzmic became LSU’s first All-American since 1992 after being named All-SEC First Team and Louisiana Player of the Year. Skender added SEC Freshman of the Year and Second-Team accolades.

LSU totaled a pair of second-place finishes and five third-place showings in the SEC West over Flory’s first seven seasons. She made an immediate impact on the program moving LSU within a game of the .500 mark in 1998 after the Tigers went winless in SEC action the year before. The 1999 Tigers improved to 17-15 overall as Meagan Davis and Kelly Thompson notched All-SEC First-Team accolades. In 2000, LSU took another step forward making the SEC Tournament finals. Despite the setback, LSU broke a six-year winless draught at the SEC Tournament. The Tigers picked up its first winning conference record under Flory during the 2001 season. LSU won nine of its 10 matches against Western Divisions squads en route to a second-place finish. Flory kept the momentum going into 2002 and strung together back-to-back SEC winning seasons for the first time since 1992-93. LSU bounced back from an 11-19 mark in 2003 and fired back with a 17-12 record during the 2004 season. Kuzmic earned Louisiana Player of the Year as the Tigers won three matches against NCAA Tournament squads. This is Flory’s second stint at LSU as the Baton Rouge native served as an assistant for four seasons under LSU’s winningest coach, Scott Luster. She served as a graduate assistant in 1988, before being named a full-time assistant

TIGER ATTACKERS Official Booster Club of LSU Volleyball The 2012 season will be an exciting one. The youth of last year’s team has matured and developed into a very cohesive group. Our spring season was one of the most productive training periods we have had in the last ten years. We can’t wait to see how special this season will be. Our schedule will be one of the toughest in the country as we will host Purdue, Washington and Rice in the Tiger Classic held on August 31 and September 1. This will be one of the premiere non-conference tournaments of the year. The SEC will also be a bit tougher this season with the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri, who were both NCAA participants in 2011. Winning our seventh straight SEC West Championship in 2011 was an outstanding feat for our young team. The program continues to build on its championship tradition. You all are an important part of that tradition. Without your support, we would not have the ability to accomplish these goals. Certainly our department allows us to be good, but the support you all provide all of us the opportunity to be great and to win championships. Our 2012 Tiger Attacker group will once again be the cornerstone of our program in terms of support. Your financial support along with your presence at our matches makes this group vital to our program. We appreciate all that you have done for us in the past and all that you will continue to do for us in the future. Please encourage others to join along with you. To join, you can go to the TAF website (www.lsutaf.org) and click on the Booster Clubs link. We look forward to seeing you in this fall, Geaux Tigers!

SEVEN STRAIGHT SEC WESTERN DIVISION CROWNS LSU secured its seventh consecutive SEC Western Division title on the last day of the regular season. The Tigers blitzed Arkansas with a .321 hitting percentage to avenge a loss to the Razorbacks earlier in the season. LSU’s championship run started in 2005 when the Tigers shared the division crown with Arkansas. The Tigers have won the division title outright over the last six seasons and are an impressive 55-5 [.917] against fellow Western Division foes, including a stretch of 47 wins of its 50 matches going back to the 2006 season. LSU and Florida as the only two programs in the conference to win seven-straight divisional titles. The Gators won 14 Eastern Division titles from 1995-2008, sharing the title with Tennessee in 2004.

respectively. Since 2006, the Tigers have had 10 different players join these illustrious ranks. Waclawczyk reeled in 1,257 digs to finish in eighth place, while Williams powered home 1,095 kills to come away in 16th place. Prior to the season finale versus Arkansas, the duo was given commemorative balls to honor their accomplishments. “We wanted to send out Lauren and Michele in a special way during their last home match,” head coach Fran Flory said. “Those two have done so much for our program. They have done any and everything we have asked in every capacity. They are like my daughters so it was hard to end with them on the court. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will go forward and be very successful in whatever they decide to do. They will carry on the legacy of LSU volleyball in the right way.”

LSU’S NCAA RUN ENDS AT SIX CONSECUTIVE SEASONS

SIX MATCH POINTS ARE NO SWEAT FOR TIGERS

LSU had its program-record streak of NCAA Tournament berths come to a close at six consecutive seasons in 2011. It marked the first time since 2004 that the Tigers were not included inside the NCAA Field of 64. Overall, LSU has made 12 NCAA Tournament appearances. The Tigers are one of only three teams in the SEC [Florida and Tennessee] to advance to the NCAA Final Four, making appearances in both 1990 and 1991.

WACLAWCZYK & WILLIAMS JOIN 1,000 CLUBS Lauren Waclawczyk and Michele Williams capped their careers as LSU’s newest members of the 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills club,

During the fifth set at Georgia, LSU wiped away six match points in one of its most gritty performances of the season. The Tigers found itself on the brink down 14-10 in the deciding frame. Michele Williams ignited one final flurry with a kill down the line from the pin. Williams teamed with Nicole Willis for a block to force Georgia into a timeout. Out of the break, Madie Jones ripped consecutive kills to even the ledger at 14-14. After a second UGA timeout led to a Bulldogs sideout, Jones wiped away another match point with a cross-court kill to deadlock the score at 15-15. The two teams traded points as Williams erased LSU’s sixth match point down 16-15. A Desiree Elliott-Willis stuff coupled with a Helen Boyle out-of-system kill vaulted LSU to the memorable 18-16

JONES GARNERS BREAKOUT JUNIOR CAMPAIGN Madie Jones took over the reigns as LSU’s top offensive option and claimed All-SEC Second-Team accolades. She also picked up an All-Louisiana FirstTeam selection and became the sixth player in program history to collect the state’s top honor as Louisiana Player of the Year. “Madie had a tremendous year and matured into a true force on the outside,” head coach Fran Flory said. “She took so many big swings at critical times for our team.” Jones ripped double figure kills in 20 of her 28 appearances with 14 of those efforts coming in SEC action. She posted a team-best 3.55 kills per set to rank sixth on the SEC leaderboard along with a team-high .278 hitting percentage. In conference play, Jones elevated her play to a 3.82 kills per set average to rank fourth among the SEC leaders. She came away with a quartet of 20plus spike performances. The Plano, Texas, native racked up a career-best 23 kills as LSU erased a two-set deficit versus South Carolina (Nov. 13). Off the court, Jones serves as the president of LSU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The organization raised $1,000 for the Big Buddies Program by creating the Mikie’s Award Show in April.

MANNARI SHINES IN LIBERO ROLE Meghan Mannari moved into the starting libero spot and turned in a memorable 2011 season en route to AVCA All-South Region Honorable Mention status, All-SEC Second Team honors and secured Louisiana’s CoLibero of the Year award. “We’re extremely proud of the steps that Meghan took during her junior season moving into the libero role,” head coach Fran Flory said. “She developed into one of the best defenders in the SEC, had a knack for making the big save and was an anchor for our back row group.” Mannari recorded a team-leading 518 digs at a 4.67 per set average to rank second in the SEC. The 518 digs also were the third-highest total for a single season in LSU history. During conference play, the three-time SEC Defensive Player of the Week improved her mark to a league-best 4.88 per set clip. Mannari notched double figure digs in 27 of 29 appearances and eclipsed the 20-scoop plateau on nine occasions. She produced a careerhigh 39 digs against South Carolina, the most by a SEC player during the 2011 season. The Frisco, Texas, native slapped a team-high 38 aces and her 0.34 per set average was fourth-best in the SEC. Mannari heads into senior season 187 digs away from becoming 12th player in program history to reach 1,000 career digs plateau. comeback win. “This is a team that is beginning to believe that it’s going to win no matter what when it steps out to the court,” head coach Fran Flory said after the match. “We’ve worked extremely hard to get to that point, and it’s nice to see the players reap the benefits of their hard work. I don’t think we want to be down six match points every match. We had so many players contribute make key moments. That’s the sign of a team that continues to get better.”

WACLAWCZYK CHAMPIONS “GEAUX BOOKS” PROGRAM During the summer leading into the 2011 season, Lauren Waclawczyk wanted to do more than just finish her volleyball career. She wanted to find a way to make an impact on the Baton Rouge community. Waclawczyk set up a meeting with Dufrocq Elementary School principal Mary Robvais and championed the “Geaux Books” program. At every home volleyball match, the Tigers collected books to replenish the school’s library. The business management major’s idea blossomed into an astounding 2,780 books. “The ‘Geaux Books’ campaign initiated by Lauren is truly one of the most impacting contributions to the Baton Rouge community that our program has made,” head coach Fran Flory said. “It is our hope that we have impacted and changed lives through this program.” Waclawczyk and her teammates loaded up the books to attend an assembly at Dufrocq on November 7 and presented the students with their special gifts. Waclawczyk even put on a skit with the Mike the Tiger to explain the importance of reading to the students.

Following the South Carolina match on November 13, LSU volleyball gave Principal Robvais, school librarian Sheila Brock and the Reading Industry Students a commemorative frame as part of “Geaux Books” day. “Reading is the basic foundation of education and helping to provide that foundation for the students at Dufrocq has been an incredible and rewarding experience for Lauren and our entire team,” Flory said. “This is not just a gift from our program, but the Baton Rouge community. We couldn’t have done this without the support of the LSU volleyball fans who have contributed to the success of this endeavor.”

MANNARI NABS SILVER WITH USA A2 TEAM Meghan Mannari continued LSU’s tradition with the prestigious USA Volleyball A2 program. Mannari was one of 48 players which included only eight liberos invited to participate in the program. Her USA Gold Team went 2-1 during pool play and advanced to the championship match with a dramatic five-set comeback victory. However, her squad fell in three tightly contested sets decided by a total of eight points in the gold medal match. It marked the fifth consecutive season that LSU has won a medal with the USA A2 program. Former All-Americans Brittnee Cooper and Elena Martinez won gold in 2008, while Cooper picked up a silver medal in 2009. Former assistant coach Steven Loeswick added a bronze medal in 2010 followed by head coach Fran Flory’s gold medal in 2011.

PARDO DOESN’T MISS A BEAT AT THE SETTER POSITION Malorie Pardo made an instant impact on the Tigers and earned an All-SEC Freshman-Team nod. She handed out 11.71 assists per set to fuel the LSU offense. The 11.71 helpers were second in the SEC, ranked ninth nationally and checked in as the ninth-best single-season average in program history. “The ability for Malorie to step in as a freshman setter in a very complicated offense right away is unparalleled,” head coach Fran Flory said. “She is a confident player, and our hitters responded to her. “ Pardo came away with SEC Freshman of the Week on three occasions. The League City, Texas, native is one of four players in program history to earn that recognition three times in a season joining former All-Americans Marina Skender (2005) and Lauren DeGirolamo (2007) along with Desiree Elliott (2010). Pardo eclipsed the 40-assist mark 19 times sparked by a trio of 60-helper efforts. Two of the three 60-assist outings came during five-set triumphs over Ole Miss (Sept. 16) and Georgia (Nov. 4). Pardo compiled a team-leading 11 double-doubles, the most among SEC Freshmen. Her four consecutive double dips from Sept. 9-16 enabled her to become the first LSU freshmen since former All-American Daniella Romero (2003) to accomplish that feat.

1990 • Record: 34-7 SEC Champions • SEC Tournament Champions NCAA Final Four Coming off its second undefeated conference championship in as many seasons, LSU cruised past Louisville behind a .337 team hitting percentage in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Maravich Center. The Tigers dismissed Texas Tech 3-0 in round two as Daniela Reis set a balanced attack that featured 15 kills from Nyla Shephered, 12 kills from Monique Adams and 10 kills from Julie Stempel. LSU had its 1986 season end one step shy of the Final Four at Texas and were swept by the Longhorns during the 1990 regular season in Austin. Down 2-0 to the host Longhorns, LSU mounted a rally behind Adams, Shepherd and Stempel. The trio combined for 74 of the Tigers’ 91 kills and posted doubledoubles as LSU fought back for a 8-15, 4-15, 15-10, 15-11, 17-15 triumph to advance to the program’s first Final Four. The Tigers fell to eventual national champion UCLA, 3-0, in the national semifinals, but the future was bright as Adams, Shepherd and Stempel would return for their senior seasons in 1991.

Digs

LSU fired out to a 12-0 record to start the 1991 season highlighted by wins over No. 11 New Mexico and No. 17 Texas before being upended at Florida to open SEC play. The Tigers bounced back in a big way reeling off 20 consecutive victories en route to its third consecutive SEC regular season and tournament championships. Only losing 12 games during the season, LSU entered the NCAA Tournament as a favorite to return to the Final Four and the Tigers did not disappoint shutting down Houston in the first round to advance to the South Regional, which the Tigers hosted. After sweeping Texas Tech, LSU faced off with Florida for the fourth time in ‘91. Monique Adams and Daniela Reis set a program singlegame marks. Adams cranked 43 kills on an amazing .507 hitting percentage, while Reis dished out 82 assists. Angie Miller (10 kills, 29 digs), Luciana Reis (12 killls, 22 digs) and Julie Stempel (11 kills, 12 digs) also tacked on double-doubles as LSU punched its second straight ticket to the Final Four. LSU dropped a hard-fought, four-game duel with Long Beach State in the national semifinals. Until Florida in 2002, the 1991 Tigers were the only SEC squad to win a game in the Final Four.

Postseason History

1992 • Record: 26-9 SEC Runner-Up • SEC Tournament Runner-Up

2006 • Record: 26-6 SEC Western Division Champions

LSU qualified for its fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance as the SEC regular season and tournament runner-up. The Tigers traveled to Lubbock, Texas for its NCAA First Round tilt and swept the Red Raiders for the third straight season. Angie Miller and Tess Sulatycki powered home a combined 29 kills on 49 swings for a .469 hitting percentage, while Daniela Reis (47 assists, 13 digs) and Luciana Reis (10 kills, 17 digs) chipped in double-doubles. Texas edged LSU in four games at the South Regional in Gainesville, Fla., ending the Tigers hopes of a third straight Final Four appearance.

LSU made it back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances after winning the SEC Western Division outright. Daniela Romero and Marina Skender notched All-SEC First-Team selections. The Tigers spent a majority of 2006 inside the Top 15, but were forced to travel to the west coast for a first round match-up against California, another Top 16 team that failed to garner a national seed. LSU won game one before the Golden Bears fired back to win the next three games limiting the Tigers to a .156 hitting percentage. Marina Skender and Kyna Washington popped 12 kills each.

1993 • Record: 21-16 NIVC Champions LSU had its string of four consecutive NCAA Tournaments come to a close as 11 of the squad’s 16 setbacks came against Top 20 opponents in 1993. Despite being left out of the big dance, the Tigers showed why they deserved a bid by rolling to the NIVC Championship. LSU dropped just three games over a six-match span. Luciana Santana earned Tournament MVP honors after racking up three double-doubles and passing out 14.0 assists per game. Tiffany Miller and Luciana Reis also picked up All-Tournament accolades as the Tigers defeated Baylor in the NIVC Finals.

2005 • Record: 21-8 SEC Western Division Co-Champions LSU returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1992 overcoming having to play a majority of the season on the road in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Tigers played their first 17 matches on the road and traveled 9,751 total miles over the 46-day period. LSU shared the SEC Western Division title after wins during eight of its last 10 matches, and put forth a gutsy effort before losing to Texas in the first round of the NCAA’s.

2007 • Record: 25-8 SEC Western Division Champions LSU ran away with its third straight SEC Western Division crown and NCAA Tournament appearance after a 15-2 start. Lauren DeGirolamo and Kyna Washington were All-SEC First-Team picks. By storming back from a 2-1 hole against No. 14 New Mexico State in the first round, LSU ended a 15-year winless draught in the NCAA’s. Brittney Johnson set a balanced attack fueling Angela Bensend, Marina Skender and Washington to double-figure kills. The Tigers fell at No. 4 Texas during the NCAA Second Round.

2008 • Record: 18-10 SEC Western Division Champions The Tigers connected four NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time since 1989-92 overcoming a string of injuries as Elena Martinez won her second-straight SEC Defensive Player of the Year. After splitting its first 14 SEC matches, LSU reeled off six straight wins to conclude the regular season and claimed another SEC West crown. Brittnee Cooper picked up All-SEC First-Team honors. LSU battled No. 14 UCLA to four sets in the NCAA opening round. TIGERS

2009 • Record: 25-7 SEC Champions • SEC Western Division Champions Not only did LSU capture its fifth straight SEC Western Division crown, the Tigers ended Florida's 18-year stay at the top of the conference. LSU snapped a 26-match losing streak to the Gators and swept the season series for the first time since 1991. The Tigers racked up a program-best 18 league wins aided by 12 sweeps as Brittnee Cooper, Sam Dabbs and Marina Skender secured All-SEC First-Team selections. Cooper was the first Tiger to win SEC Player of the Year. She joined Monique Adams and Angie Miller as the program's only AVCA AllAmerica First-Team honors. LSU played host to its first NCAA Regional at the Maravich Center since 1991. The Tigers dismissed Tulane 3-0 but dropped a 3-2 epic decision to Texas A&M in the second round. Against A&M, Cooper ripped a career-high 28 kills on a .700 hitting clip without an error. Dabbs collected a career-best 64 assists.

LSU Interim President/Chancellor

LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins Interim President/ Interim Chancellor, LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins is serving his second term as President of the Louisiana State University System, which has an annual budget of $3.4 billion and more than 54,000 students at 10 institutions, including four academic campuses, a law center, one of the world’s leading obesity research centers, a statewide AgCenter extension service, two health science centers and 10 public hospitals. Jenkins returned to his duties leading the LSU System as Interim President after serving until 2007 as the fifth system chief executive. In June he was also named the Interim Chancellor of the Baton Rouge LSU campus. Prior to becoming System President, Dr. Jenkins, a veterinary scholar, held virtually every major administrative position at LSU, including provost and chancellor, since coming to the university as Dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988. Jenkins’ tenure as System President was marked by unprecedented growth and challenges, including destruction at LSU institutions in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricanes in the fall of 2005. Although faced with a fiscal crisis and deep budget cuts that disrupted academics and forced the furloughs and firings of thousands of LSU employees, Jenkins pressed for calm and reflexive responses to the calamities. A South Africa native, Dr. Jenkins received his veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pretoria in 1958 and specialist credentials in 1968. Following his graduation, he came to the United States where, in 1970, he received his Ph.D in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia. He returned to South Africa where he practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Pretoria, advancing through the ranks to become professor and head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology. In 1978, Dr. Jenkins became a member of the faculty in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M University. He was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and was named LSU’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in September 1993. Three years later in 1996, the LSU Board of Supervisors named him LSU’s fifth Chancellor. As chancellor, Dr. Jenkins led the reorganization of the main campus administration to make it more efficient and lead the effort to produce a strategic plan, measures that were major factors in the crafting of LSU’s Flagship Agenda.

As a teacher and administrator, Dr. Jenkins has received numerous teaching and public service awards. In 1997, the Public Relations Association of Louisiana named him Communicator of the Year and the regional chapter of Toastmasters International presented him with its 1999 Communication and Leadership Award. Other honors include the Vision of Excellence Award 2000 by the New Orleans Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Chapter of MetroVision. In addition, his alma mater, the University of Pretoria, bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on Dr. Jenkins in September of 2000. The Southern Economic Development Conference also presented him with the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004. An active participant in national continuing education efforts, Dr. Jenkins has delivered more than 150 lectures and addresses to diverse groups in both the United States and abroad. The co-author of a textbook on veterinary pharmacology, Dr. Jenkins also has taught extensively at both the professional and graduate levels written more than 60 scientific articles and contributed 15 chapters to various collegiate textbooks. Dr. Jenkins has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations as well as select national committees. He served on the National Institute of Health’s Alcohol Abuse and Misuse on College Campuses Committee and on a special Steering Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that reviewed accreditation criteria for colleges and universities. Dr. Jenkins also is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges’ Committee on Food and Society and is a member of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Coastal Restoration and Conservation. In addition, he has served on a number of public boards such as the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, Teach for America South Louisiana, and the Greater Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Jenkins and his wife, Peggy, have four children—Sharon, Gwynn, Anthea, and Warren—and nine grandchildren.

Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fifth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for studentathletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2011-12 Capital One Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs. With a national championship and three Southeastern Conference titles during the year, the Tigers finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition, one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories.

Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva is currently serving a fiveyear term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. He launched an aggressive fund-raising campaign to replace several hundred windows on Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair and a new coating to the façade of the structure is bringing the old stadium to new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium will debut in the fall of 2012 to include a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championship and recognition walls that honor Tiger AllAmericans. Also in the fall of 2012, LSU begins construction on an expansion of the South End Zone of the stadium -- a project that will add premium seating, general public seating and two stateof-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2010 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility were completed last fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex and renovations to the Maravich Center and Carl Maddox Field House. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of

110

2012 LSU volleyball MEDIA GUIDE

the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers have finished third at the NCAA Championships two years in a row, marking the highest finishes in LSU history. LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2011-12 as 18 of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA post-season competition. The year was highlighted by the football team’s undefeated regular season, an SEC championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. The Lady Tiger track and field team captured the SEC and NCAA outdoor championships while the LSU softball squad advanced to the Women’s College World Series. The Fighting Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC championship, and LSU led the nation in attendance for the 17th straight season. The 2011-12 season marked the first time in school history that LSU won both the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year. But the 2011-12 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 3,700 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And 62 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in May. Outstanding performances of the

2010-11 athletic season included the exploits of the Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row. With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills. And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes. Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he has made

critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff over the past two years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and recently added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. Last year, he lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, both of whom immediately returned their respective programs to NCAA post-season success. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top allaround collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.
