Storylines

|| Conference Crusher...

Just before the team boarded the bus to the Conference USA Championships, it was announced that North Texas junior outside hitter Carnae Dillard was named the 2014 Conference USA Player of the Year. This is the first C-USA POY award and second ever POY award in the program’s history. North Texas also had four other C-USA honors: 1st Team All-Conference - Carnae Dillard, 2nd Team All-Conference - Hanna Forst, All-Freshman - Amanda Chamberlain, and All-Academic - Amy Henard. || National News... In Week Eleven, one of the most exciting weeks in program history, North Texas had two players recieve awards from Conference USA. After recording 89 assists in just six sets of play, sophomore Amy Henard recieved her second career C-USA Setter of the Week award. Junior outside hitter Carnae Dillard was rewarded for continuing her dominant offensive performance this season with her fourth C-USA Offensive Player of the Week award; the second time she has recieved the award in back to back weeks in 2014. The excitment didn’t stop there, however, as Dillard was named the Sports Imports/AVCA National Player of the Week; the first of such honor in program history. || Setting The Bar High... North Texas, began the 2014 campaign with a 9-1 record after its first 10 matches, the best start in program history. After a rough middle third of the season that saw the Mean Green struggle to 3-7, the team recorded its strongest regular season finish ever. Nine straight victories including 5 straight sweeps have led North Texas to 9-1 in its final 10 matches. || On Cloud Nine... North Texas is a team full of youth; with a roster breakdown of nine incoming freshmen, one sophomore, two juniors, and three seniors. Freshman Holly Milam leads the way with the third most kills (210) on the team. Milam also leads the team in blocks with 81. She is only one of two NT players to appear in every game this season so far, playing 111 of 112 possible sets. || #PackNTVBC... North Texas recorded its first sellout of the season at the North Texas Volleyball Center with an over capacity crowd on hand for the victory over TCU. From 2012-2014, North Texas has been exceptional when playing at home inside the friendly confines of the NTVBC in Denton, winning 37 games and losing only 9 games in front of a home crowd over the course of the last three years. The Mean Green’s overall record in the NTVB Center is 78-48 (.619) since it was opened in 2006.

Andrew Palileo

Head coach Andrew Palileo (paw-leh-layoh) begins his second year with the North Texas volleyball program following a 17-15 first season that saw the Mean Green come within a few points of the Conference USA semifinal round. In his first year, Palileo guided NT through its first year in C-USA and saw two players, sophomore Carnae Dillard and senior Karissa Flack, named to the all-conference team, while setter Amy Henard was named to the all-freshman squad. He arrived in Denton for his first season from Ohio State where he was an assistant coach for two years bringing an an extensive resume of experience at the Big-10 and Pac-12 levels to the Mean Green. His most recent head coaching position was at Washington State from 2008-2010. While in Pullman, Wash., Palileo took the Cougars to the NCAA tournament in 2009, their first trip in seven years. He also received the Pac-12 Coach of the Year award that same season. Before heading to Washington State, Palileo was a head coach for seven years at South Dakota State where he gathered 154 wins and 86 losses.

Recap

DENTON - The Mean Green volleyball team opened up the North Texas Invitational by outlasting Northwestern State in a five set win (3-2) Friday night at the North Texas Volleyball Center. North Texas, with nine freshmen, entered tonight’s season opener poised to lean heavily on its veteran returners to lead the way. Carnae Dillard, the team’s kills leader in 2013, recorded a double-double in the match with 30 kill, 15 dig performance, just nearly missing a career high (31 kills). Dillard also finished the 2013 season with the second most digs. Amy Henard, the lone sophomore on the team, started the 2014 campaign right where she left off last year. Henard’s had a monster performance with 47 assists to jump start the offensive production. With 10 digs on the defensive side of the ball, she also recorded her 9th career double-double. In their first career collegiate volleyball match, freshmen Holly Milam and Meredith Bramer made immediate impacts for the Mean Green. Bramer boasted an 11 dig performance while Milam tallied 11 kills, both good for second most to Dillard’s stat line. For most of first set, the Mean Green led a tightly contested duel. Four unanswered points late in the set allowed North Texas to pull away. Dillard emphatically drove home the final point of the set with an aggressive kill, wrapping it up 25-22. Northwestern State jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the second set and never looked back. The Mean Green pulled within one at 18-19 after a kill from Henard, however the lead proved to be insurmountable. The Lady Demons proceeded to rattle off six straight points, mostly due in part to four straight attack errors from North Texas, and even the match 1-1. Set number three, easily the most exciting of the night, had fans out of their seats and on their feet in the North Texas Volleyball Center. The Mean Green and Lady Demons, locked in a battle, traded set points back and forth. Neither team looked to give in on this set, as lengthy rally after rally went by. Fatigue eventually set in for Northeastern State as back to back kills from Dillard and senior Hanna Forst took the set for North Texas at 33-31. After losing momentum in a fourth set heavily controlled by the Northwestern (25-20), the Mean Green bounced right back. Six kills by Dillard in the fifth and deciding set (15-12) were enough to seal the match victory for North Texas. The Mean Green (1-0) look for continued success in their second match of the North Texas Invitational tomorrow against Mississippi Valley State (0-1) at 11 a.m. in the North Texas Volleyball Center.

Bailey Banks, another freshmen, also turned out a seven kill performance.

Recap

DENTON - The Mean Green volleyball team lost early momentum and dropped the fifth and deciding set to #15 Missouri 15-12, to fall to 2-1 at the conclusion of the North Texas Invitational Saturday night at the North Texas Volleyball Center. “You don’t get many opportunities to beat a ranked team and I think we let one slip tonight,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “The girls were prepared, it’s just a matter of executing--we didn’t execute and we got a little timid in set five.” The Mean Green, coming in 2-0, jumped on the Tigers early, taking the opening set of the tournament finale 25-17. No. 15 Missouri finished fifth in the final RPI poll last season and saw a 36 regular season match win streak break earlier today in a three set loss to Northwestern State. “Having coached in the Pac-12 and the Big 10, I know how teams [like Missouri] look at playing mid-major schools,” Palileo added. “We prepared to find ways to take advantage of [Missouri] coming out slow, we weren’t intimidated at all.” North Texas, a Conference USA member, saw its momentum fade to the SEC’s Missouri squad in pivotal sets two and three. For the second time in three matches for the Mean Green, long rallies back and forth extended the set beyond the normal 25 point threshold. This time North Texas was not fortunate enough to capitalize and Missouri took the third set 31-29. The Mean Green did show fight, however, and battled back in the fourth set, jumping out to an 1810 lead. North Texas would eventually close out the set 25-18 on two straight kills from freshman Alexis Wright, forcing a fifth and deciding set. A service ace by junior Carnae Dillard late in the fifth set pulled North Texas within one at 13-12 as the Mean Green looked poised to mount a comeback. However, two straight North Texas attack errors sealed the set and match victory for Mizzou. Dillard recorded a 29 kill, 12 dig performance for her second double-double in two matches played this season. Coach Palileo opted to rest her in order to experiment with other lineup sets in this morning’s three set victory over Mississippi Valley State. Sophomore Amy Henard had yet another impressive night totaling 12 digs and 59 assists, falling just nine assists short of her career high set last season at Idaho. Both Dillard and Henard were honored for their performances this weekend by being named to the North Texas Invitational All-Tournament team by a vote of the participating teams’ respective coaching staffs. North Texas will immediately turn around and rest during their travel day tomorrow as they prepare to face Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches on Monday (Sept. 1) at 7 p.m.

“What a great road win for us tonight against a good team,” head coach Palileo said. “We came out aggressive and focused from the first point to the last.” The Mean Green traveled to Nacogdoches on a short turn around after a successful showing at home in the North Texas Invitational. There was little time to dwell on the heartbreaking five set loss to No. 15 Missouri on Friday night, before having to focus on the holiday weekend matchup with SFA Monday night. North Texas showed no further let down after the narrow defeat, and came out firing aggressively in set one. Freshmen Alexis Wright had the hot hand early, recording five kills on a .556 attacking percentage in set one alone. She would later finish the match with 13 kills with an attacking percentage of .500, marking the second match in a row the young right side hitter has recorded a percentage above .500 with double digit kill totals.

After going cold in set one, junior Carnae Dillard led the Mean Green out to a 6-0 lead in set two, with four kills for Dillard in the first six points. SFA would storm back to put up a fight and knot up the set at 16 a piece. However, four straight attack errors by Stephen F. Austin Five of the last nine points in set two for North Texas were courtesy of attack errors by the Lady Lumberjacks. Every single one of those were needed to close out a much tighter set two at 25-21. Eight errors by Stephen F. Austin in the third set spotted North Texas the lead, and the Mean Green never looked back. North Texas asserted their dominant presence, capitalizing on the inefficiency of the Lady Jacks, as they closed out the final set 25-17 to take the match in three. Carnae Dillard finished with 16 kills and 10 digs, just barely continuing her streak of recording double-doubles in every match this season thus far. Sophomore Amy Henard also recorded a double double with 42 assists and 12 digs. She now has 152 assists in only 14 sets played this season. Senior libero Eboni Godfrey also accounted for 17 digs on the defensive side of the ball. North Texas improves to 19-23 all-time against Stephen F. Austin, a series that dates back to 1976, the inaugural year of Mean Green volleyball. This marks the first time NT has defeated SFA in consecutive seasons since a stretch of victories from 1979-1982 under head coach Vickie Guy. The Mean Green defeated the Lady Lumberjacks during head coach Andrew Palileo’s first season last year, in three sets (25-19, 25-22, 25-22) at home in Denton.

Recap

SAN MARCOS - The Mean Green volleyball team made program history in dramatic fashion Friday night at the Texas State Delta Zeta Classic by coming from behind to defeat Wichita State in five sets, for the first time in the all-time series. “We came out anxious and put ourselves out of position to make plays,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. After falling behind early 0-2 early after the first two sets, the Mean Green looked likely to fall victim to their first three set sweep of the season. In a nail-biting set three, North Texas rattled off five straight points to pull away 21-18. After a Shocker timeout, the Mean Green had to hold off a late rally to close out the set 25-23 to pull within 2-1. “We hung in there as a team, started making plays and the girls ran with it in the middle of set three,” Palileo added. North Texas, looking like a totally different squad than earlier in the night, stormed out to a 14-5 lead in set four. Wichita State would later concede the set 25-13 thanks to nine consecutive points scored by the Mean Green. After a dominating fourth set performance by North Texas, all the momentum once held by WSU flipped sides. The incredible run by the Mean Green proved to be too much for the Shockers as NT completed the comeback by taking the fifth and deciding set 15-10. “As a coach it was great to see our team come back from adversity and pull out the victory,” Palileo concluded. Week one Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week Carnae Dillard continued her hot streak with a fourth consecutive double-double after a 24 kill, 14 dig performance. Freshman Holly Milam stepped up in the absence of the injured Alexis Wright, who had an attacking percentage of over .500 in the previous two consecutive matches. Milam recorded 15 kills on a match-high .385 attacking percentage, in addition to five total blocks. Senior Hanna Forst also contributed 15 kills in the match. With the 3-2 victory over Wichita State, North Texas rewrites the record books as they pull off their first win in program history over the Shockers after failing in the previous seven attempts. The Mean Green are now 1-7 in the all-time series. The Mean Green, 4-1, look to improve on that mark when they take on a struggling Abilene Christian squad tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. in the second match of the Delta Zeta Classic in San Marcos. North Texas will later close out the weekend with a tough match against host Texas State at 7 p.m. in the tournament finale. Live stats and live video will be available for the first match of the day, while live audio will be provided for the second match in addition.

Recap

SAN MARCOS — North Texas volleyball swept both Abilene Christian and Texas State in the final two matches of the Delta Zeta Classic Saturday, picking up its first outright tournament championship since 2012. “We played for each other this weekend and that’s what I’m proud of most,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. North Texas, a team full of youth, seems to have clicked early and have been on a roll since their narrow defeat to No. 15 Missouri a week ago. The Mean Green, now 6-1 on the season, has won four straight matches including three 3-0 sweeps. Nine consecutive sets have been taken by North Texas. After going 2-0 in the first two matches of the Delta Zeta Classic, North Texas had extra motivation to knock off the host Texas State in the tournament finale on Saturday night. With a win, North Texas would take home championship hardware. The Mean Green looked to be in trouble early, trailing 10-6 to the Bobcats in the first set. After a North Texas timeout, the Mean Green rattled off eight out of the next 13 points to pull within one at 15-14. Dillard turned on the jets, with seven kills on a .500 attack percentage, to battle back and lead North Texas to a 25-23 set one win. In set two, North Texas no longer looked like a team with nine freshmen on its roster. Instead, the Mean Green seemed to massively outmatch the 2013 Sun Belt Tournament Champion Texas State squad opposite them. Freshman McKenna Thornlow served seven straight at the beginning of set two, as North Texas opened with a dominant 6-0 lead. The Bobcats would fight back into the mix to pull within two at 22-20. However, the Mean Green would eventually close out the nail-biter 26-24 to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission. With all the momentum on their side, North Texas rushed out to another early 5-0 lead in set three. Texas State would take the lead for the first time all set at 15-14, forcing Palileo to call a timeout to recollect his team. The Mean Green would close out the set 26-24 yet again, to take their second consecutive 3-0 victory. Dillard finished with 24 kills on a .352 attacking percentage and 14 digs, her fifth double-double in six matches played. Forst and Milam turned out crucial performances as well in the match, recording 11 kills and 9 kills respectively. Milam also recorded five blocks. For their performances, Dillard and Milam were awarded Delta Zeta Classic all-tournament team honors. North Texas (6-1) returns to action on Friday night at home with a rematch against ACU in the Mean Green Classic at 7 p.m. in the North Texas Volleyball Center.

Recap

DENTON - North Texas recovered from a slow start Friday night to defeat Abilene Christian 3-1 in the first match of the Mean Green Classic, a rematch of last weekend’s 3-0 sweep over the Wildcats. The Mean Green found themself down 1-0 after dropping set one, 25-23, for just the second time in all eight matches this season. Abilene Christian (0-7), who started the match hot with a .438 team attacking percentage in set one, had been looking to take their first set of the season. After spotting ACU early momentum, North Texas would respond in set two to change the tide. The Mean Green rushed out to a 20-13 lead thanks to five kills by Junior Carnae Dillard. The Wildcats attempted to make a run to make things interesting late in the set avoiding match point three straight times, before finally conceding set two 25-18. Coming out of intermission at one a piece, North Texas fed off the energy of the loud crowd on hand in the stands tonight to seize all momentum in a pivotal set three. All the energy was needed to overcome a 5-1 early deficit to the Wildcats. However, ACU seemed phased by the North Texas Volleyball Center atmosphere late in the set, as three straight errors allowed North Texas to finish off set three once again at 25-18. North Texas showed its teeth in set four and surged past the outmatched Southland Conference opponent. Thanks to a .583 set attacking percentage, the Mean Green roared out to a 20-7 lead. The Wildcats would add four more points to the stat sheet but North Texas proved to be too much to handle as they closed out the dominant set four 25-11, wrapping up the victory. Dillard, the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week in both week one and two, kept rolling tonight with a 25 kill performance on a .447 attack percentage. After adding 13 digs tonight, she now has recorded a double-double in all but two matches this season. Freshmen Holly Milam and Amanda Chamberlain both made their prescence known tonight with three blocks apiece. Milam also had the second most kills for North Texas in the match at eight. Senior Cami Cherry and Sophomore Amy Henard split the setting duties tonight as both recorded similar numbers. Cherry picked up 24 assists, while Henard inched closer to the next spot on the all-time career assists list with 28 assists tonight. North Texas (7-1) returns to action tomorrow at 11 a.m. against Jackson State (0-9) on day two of the Mean Green Classic inside the North Texas Volleyball Center, before finishing up in the tournament finale against Utah Valley at 7 p.m.

Recap

DENTON — North Texas swept Jackson State and took down Utah Valley in four en route to claiming the 2014 Mean Green Classic Championship Saturday night inside the North Texas Volleyball Center. The Mean Green improves to 9-1 through their first 10 matches, marking the best start in the program’s 38-year history. “I didn’t expect it at this point,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better start for us.” After defeating Abilene Christian in four sets last night, North Texas had the opportunity to rest players and test their depth against an outmatched Jackson State squad in match one this morning. Even with youth on the court, the Mean Green was able to sweep JSU in three (27-25, 25-18, 25-16). North Texas, enjoying the atmosphere of the home crowd, came out hot in the tournament championship match against Utah Valley. The Mean Green took set one 25-18 before dominating set two 25-13. Looking poised to sweep UVU in the tournament finale, North Texas allowed the Wolverines to fight off two championship points and reverse the set to drop it 25-27. In a shaky set four, UVU hung around long enough to keep the Mean Green nervous late in the set. It took a solid round of serving from sophomore Amy Henard and back-to-back kills from junior Carnae Dillard to put away the Wolverines in set four and claim the second championship of the season for North Texas. “Our freshmen contributed quite a bit—and we’ve needed them to contribute—but I think it comes down to our returners from last year being more comfortable in our system, understanding what it is we like to do and having the confidence to play better in the system that we’re running,” Palileo added. Dillard, the reigning back-to-back Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week, tallied an incredible 61 kills on a .392 hitting percentage in only 10 sets played throughout the duration of the Mean Green Classic. She also added 34 total digs to her stat line, which was more than good enough for all-tournament team honors. Two freshmen stood out amongst the nine on the roster this weekend; Holly Milam and Amanda Chamberlain. Milam picked up seven total blocks, 14 digs and 20 kills in 11 sets played during the Mean Green Classic. Chamberlain’s tournament stat line included an eye-opening .538 hitting percentage with 23 kill and seven total blocks. Both freshmen were selected to the all-tournament team, marking Milam’s second consecutive tournament to pick up the honor. On a night that North Texas made history with the program’s best start in its 38th season of play, an individual also rewrote the record book. Henard, the Mean Green’s primary setter, recorded 45 assists against UVU to move into the eighth spot on the North Texas all-time career assists list. After recording 87 assists in eight sets this weekend, she now totals 1,541 career assists. The Mean Green will take their impressive resume on the road for their final tournament of the season in the Jayhawk Classic hosted by Kansas in Lawrence, KS on Sept. 19-20. North Texas will face their second ranked opponent of the season in #24 KU to open up the tournament Friday at noon.

Recap

LAWRENCE, KS--North Texas fell to #24 Kansas and Arkansas on Friday night, dropping to 9-3 after losing back-to-back matches for the first time this season. The Mean Green, entering the tournament on the verge of cracking the AVCA Top 25 Poll after appearing on a ballot the last two weeks, failed to capitalize on an opportunity to prove something to voters this weekend. Facing their first true road test of the season outside of the state of Texas, North Texas came out flat in the first match of the day against tournament host No. 24 Kansas, which was broadcast live by ESPN3. In the first set, Kansas stormed out to an early 4-0 lead before junior Carnae Dillard finally lit up the scoreboard for the North Texas side. A slow start provided a comfortable 21-14 cushion for the Jayhawks. After a timeout by head coach Andrew Palileo to break up the KU run, the Mean Green attempted to make a push to stay competitive late in the set drawing within four after driving home three consecutive points. The deficit would prove to large, however, as North Texas would drop set one 25-19. For the second straight set, North Texas would spot Kansas a 4-0 lead before finally getting on the board. The Mean Green would never draw closer than 15-10, and eventually conceded a less competitive set two 25-17. One would think Kansas head coach Ray Bechard would be comfortable with a 2-0 lead at home heading into the intermission, however he warned his team not to ease up after seeing the Mean Green come back to beat Wichita State after falling behind 2-0 earlier this season. The comeback effort mounted by North Texas on Friday night in set three provided a short glimmer of hope. After trading points back and forth in an early battle, the Mean Green roared out to an 11-7 lead and the moment seemed all too familiar. However, a big run by KU buried any hope of a repeat performance as they rushed back out to a 22-14 lead. North Texas would fight to stay alive but ultimately conceded the set 25-19, falling to their second ranked opponent of the season. The 3-0 final tally, marked the first time the Mean Green have fallen victim to a sweep through 12 matches.

Recap

LAWRENCE, KS--North Texas fell to #24 Kansas and Arkansas on Friday night, dropping to 9-3 after losing back-to-back matches for the first time this season. In the second match of the night, North Texas took on Arkansas, their second SEC opponent this year. After falling behind early, the Mean Green pushed the Razorbacks to the brink in set one, pulling within one at 21-20 before eventually letting it slip 25-20. After never leading in the first set, North Texas opened up the scoring in set two, running out to an early 10-6 lead behind six kills on .300 hitting from Dillard. The Mean Green would push their lead to 21-13 and never look back, taking their first set of the Jayhawk Classsic 25-18 over Arkansas. After a service ace by freshman Holly Milam to open set three with a 4-1 lead, North Texas looked like it might cruise to its first win of the weekend. However, seven of the next eight points would be scored by the Razorbacks to erase the lead. A late battle would ensue as the two teams traded points back and forth. Two straight errors on set point would keep the Mean Green alive, but Arkansas eventually closed out set three 25-22. A wild set four that saw eight ties and five lead changes kept the traveling Mean Green fans glued to their seats. North Texas failed to take advantage after knotting up the score at 22 all and allowed a 3-0 run by Arkansas to close out the set and the match, 3-1. Despite the two losses, senior Hanna Forst came out playing hot in front of her hometown crowd. The Lenexa, KS-native recorded 25 kills on .381 hitting across the two matches Friday night, including a .417 attack percentage in the match against KU. Dillard finished the night leading the team with 38 kills and 20 digs. Filling in for a struggling Amy Henard, senior Cami Cherry recorded a career high 44 assists against Arkansas while freshman Holly Milam rounded out the day with seven total blocks. North Texas (9-3) looks to break up their longest losing streak of the season and earn Coach Palileoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300th overall career victory when they take on Cleveland State (6-6) tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. in the final match of the Jayhawk Classic.

Recap

LAWRENCE, KS--North Texas fell in five sets (25-22, 25-20, 21-25, 21-25, 11-15) to Cleveland State early Saturday afternoon, closing out a rough road trip to Kansas for the Jayhawk Classic. The final score marked the first weekend this season that the Mean Green have failed to capture at least one win (0-3), after previously dropping matches to No. 24 Kansas and Arkansas on Friday. “I thought we were a little tentative this weekend in many aspects of our game,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “Our level of play had more to do with the competitive spirit we came in with and less to do with the opponents we played.” A seemingly reenergized North Texas squad came out firing on all cylinders in the first two sets, after finally finding a lineup that seemed to click. A new team vibe could be sensed in the gym as a result of a night of team bonding activities, film and team-only meetings to refocus the lens of the group. The Mean Green rushed out to a 2-0 lead, looking poised to get back in the win column and pick up Palileo’s 300th overall career victory. However, a slew of errors and a less than stellar team hitting percentage in the third set caused North Texas to fall behind for the first time all match and eventually drop the set. With momentum completely stolen from the Mean Green side, the Vikings would force a fifth and deciding frame to set up a stunning collapse. North Texas, after falling behind early, would battle to get as close as 11-13, making fans’ hearts beat fast up in the stands. It would all prove too little too late as Cleveland State finished off the set and match with one final service ace. North Texas, after opening up with the best start in program history, currently finds itself on the longest losing skid of the season at three consecutive losses. The streak is also the longest string of losses since the Mean Green lost four in a row back in 2011. Saturday’s loss marks the first time all season North Texas has allowed a team to come-from-behind to win 3-2 after trailing 0-2. If there’s any silver lining in the tough weekend, it’s the storybook ending for senior Hanna Forst. After recording 36 kills and a team high hitting percentage while playing through an injury in all 12 sets, the “hometown girl” was named to the 2014 Jayhawk Classic All-Tournament team. “Ever since my freshman year when I found out what the [all-tournament] honor meant, I have never wanted anything more,” an elated Forst said after hearing the announcement. “I couldn’t be happier right now. This is my first time [in college] to win something like that--I’m a senior--that was my last tournament I’ll play in.” What the senior didn’t take into consideration is the opportunity that exists in the form of the Conference USA tournament and NCAA tournament at the season’s end. After three steps back this weekend, Palileo’s North Texas squad will look to put non-conference play behind them and take two steps forward when they open up Conference USA play this upcoming weekend. The Mean Green is aiming to capture its first conference championship since 2012, the final year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. “We have done some great things the first couple of weeks,” Palileo added. “This week we will get right back to work and be ready for the conference opener.” North Texas (9-4), looking to end a three game losing skid, will take on UTEP at 8 p.m. in El Paso on Friday, Sept. 26 before heading to San Antonio to take on defending conference champion UTSA on Sunday, Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. The Roadrunners, who received votes in the preseason AVCA Top 25 Poll, have struggled alongside the Miners to combine for a 5-15 record so far in 2014.

Recap

EL PASO, TX - Head coach Andrew Palileo reached the 300 career win milestone, Friday night, as the Mean Green defeated UTEP in five sets to open up Conference USA play with a victory. North Texas improves to 10-4 on the season. “It was great getting the win tonight with this team,” Palileo said. “Any time you reach success like this, it’s evident that I have surrounded myself with great teams, players, and coaches along the way.” Palileo stepped into the way back machine walking into Memorial Gym, his first career victory as a Division I head coach came against UTEP nearly a decade ago right here in El Paso. At the helm for South Dakota State, Palileo led the Jackrabbits to a 3-2 win in September of 2004. On this night, the win for Palileo would come just as tough. “We started out slow but managed to level our game off,” he added. “That’s a typical story for a conference road match. We were fortunate enough to come out with the win in that environment.” North Texas, after a .395 team hitting performance in the first set, seemed to hit a lull in the second frame. UTEP capitalized on 10 errors and a dismal 0.051 attack percentage to take set two from the Mean Green, evening things up at one all headed into the break. Leading 2-1 after a dominating set three victory, North Texas looked poised to cruise to the big road victory. However, the Miners battled back, fighting off four consecutive match points to take set four and force a fifth and deciding set. In the final frame, no one looked as calm and composed as junior outside hitter Carnae Dillard. The two-time C-USA offensive player of the week came out hot in the final frame, leading North Texas to its first 6 points on 5 kills and a service ace. With the team on Dillard’s back, the Mean Green put to rest any chance of falling victim to its second straight letdown loss. North Texas cruised to a 15-12 final tally, taking the match 3-2. Dillard finished with 24 kills and 18 digs, good for her 10th double-double of the season. The Mean Green is now 5-7 all-time against the Miners and improves to 10-4 on the season, breaking up the three game losing skid. “We’re going to have to play better against defending champion UTSA. We’ll get back to practice tomorrow and work on the things we need to work on, and be ready to go come Sunday,” Palileo concluded.

SAN ANTONIO, TX--North Texas, leading for the majority of the first two sets, failed to capitalize and dropped their first Conference USA match on the road to defending champion UTSA (22-25, 22-25, 21-25). The Mean Green falls to 10-5, 1-1 in conference play.

North Texas fell behind by as much as nine early in the third and looked as if they might lay down and let UTSA run them out of the court. However, a Palileo timeout reenergized the team to pull within four at 18-22. The Mean Green fought off three straight match points before finally conceding the set 25-21, to fall victim to only its second sweep of the season.

“It wasn’t a clean match for either team really,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “We still had opportunities to win the first two sets but didn’t execute when we needed to.” North Texas, looking poised to steal momentum early in the match, ran out to a 21-18 lead late in the first set. That’s where sleeping giant UTSA awoke, roaring back with six straight points to set up the set point. One last big block by the Roadrunners ignited the Convocation Center crowd and wrapped up set one 22-25. In nearly an identical set two, the Mean Green led by as much as four and never trailed until three straight North Texas errors allowed UTSA to take a 19-17 lead. North Texas would fight back retake the lead at 22-21 but two attack errors set up set point once again for the Roadrunners. Yet another block of Carnae Dillard’s attack sent North Texas into the intermission down 0-2. “[UTSA] made more plays after twenty [points],” assistant coach Susan Halverson added.

“There aren’t really a ton of things we need to fix,” Palileo continued. “At this point we just need to get the swag back that we had at the beginning of the year.” Two-time Conference USA offensive player of the week, Dillard, recorded a 13 kill, 12 dig performance in front of her hometown crowd. The junior graduated from local San Antonio high school Lady Bird Johnson before heading north to Denton to play for North Texas. Dillard’s 11th double-double of the season puts her among the best in the nation, trailing only Melissa Morello (College of Charleston) and Carly Kan (Mizzou), who both have 12.

Mean Green is now 6-15 all-time against the Roadrunners and falls to 10-5 on the season. 1 2 3 TEAM RECORDS The The loss is the first during conference opening weekend for North Texas since 2011. 22 22 21 (10-5, 1-1 C-USA) North Texas looks to get back in win column when they host a tough in-state opponent in Rice on 25 25 25 (7-7, 3-0 C-USA) Wednesday, Oct. 1st, at 5:30 p.m. inside the North Texas Volleyball Center in Denton.

Recap

DENTON--North Texas jumped out to a quick lead over Rice, but dropped three straight sets to fall at home to Rice in four sets (25-14, 30-32, 21-25, 20-25). With the loss, the Mean Green falls to 10-6 overall and 1-2 in Conference USA play. A large crowd on hand for a “WHITE OUT” event seemed to ignite North Texas early in the match. Playing at home for the first time since Sept. 13, the Mean Green ran out to an early 1-0 lead after a dominating first set. Three players recorded 4 kills or more, while freshman Amanda Chamberlain led the way with an incredible .833 hitting percentage (5 kills, 0 errors, 6 total attacks). “I thought we came out strong with a lot of energy,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “We played well in the second set, and just missed a few opportunities to win it.” The second frame, full of tense moments, provided what would be the turning point for the match. North Texas, trailing by as much as five in the set, battled its way back to tie things up at 20-all, setting up a dramatic finish. As the two teams traded points back and forth, the Mean Green fought off six set points to extend the set all the way out to the 30’s. Two straight Rice kills finally sealed up the second set 32-30, seizing all momentum heading into intermission. “You have to give Rice credit for making the plays needed to pull off the set,” Palileo added.

LA Tech North Texas

Recap

After coming out fast but finishing slow in a loss to Rice on Wednesday, the Mean Green played a consistent match from start to finish on Friday night. A large NTVB Center crowd on hand for Dig Pink night energized the North Texas squad to a dominant three set performance. Junior outside hitter Carnae Dillard led the way with 15 kills on a .522 hitting percentage. Dillard, while failing to pick up her 13th double-double, picked up seven digs to compliment her second best attack percentage of 2014. With the addition of 15 kills to her career total, Dillard now moves into sole possession of fourth place on the North Texas all-time career kills list with 1,344. Just two days after recording a season high kills total, Senior Hanna Forst continued her hot streak with yet another impressive 11 kill, .500 hitting performance. Tonight’s stellar attack percentage by Forst is her best this season. The Mean Green looks to win consecutive games for the first time since September 13 (the end of a seven game winning streak) when they take on tough Conference USA foe Marshall at 1 p.m. on Sunday inside the North Texas Volleyball Center. (Recap was cut short due to the tragic events of the night.)

Recap

DENTON--An extra-motivated Mean Green squad defeated Marshall for the first time in program history in a five set thriller (25-20, 21-25, 25-20, 16-25, 15-8) on Sunday afternoon inside a purple-filled NTVB Center. “I have to give my team a lot of credit,” head coach Palileo said. “In my 17 years of coaching collegiately, this is one of my proudest days--not necessarily because we won, that’s a bonus--but because of the way we came to play today.” Tragedy struck the North Texas volleyball family on Friday night, as the team was taking on LA Tech at home. While on the way to the match, Tina Reese, mother of senior Camille Cherry, was involved in a fatal car accident. Dawn Dillard, mother of junior Carnae Dillard, was a passenger in the same vehicle, however she escaped unharmed. “The girls did a great job, they supported each other well, we laughed we cried a lot this weekend together,” Palileo added. “They were able to put everything aside and really go at it today.” North Texas, riding a rollercoaster of emotions this last week, came out of the locker room with a special sense of confidence heading into today’s match. The Mean Green, donning purple headbands and accents to honor the favorite color of Cherry’s mother, started off set one hot, leading by as much as six at one point. In a more competitive set two, a six kill performance by Dillard wasn’t enough to overcome 12 North Texas errors and the Herd capitalized, forcing a 1-1 tie heading into the break. A dominant Mean Green squad rushed out to a 20-14 lead in set three and never looked back, closing it out behind .317 team hitting. After dropping set four to Marshall, North Texas looked determined as ever to finish off the match on a positive note in the deciding set. In the final frame, a key six serve run by Dillard allowed the Mean Green to pull away and cruise to victory, taking set five 15-8. Dillard led the way for North Texas with her nation-leading 13th double-double this season, recording 24 kills and 18 digs against the Herd. The junior also tallied four service aces to match a career-high set back in 2012. North Texas recorded 12 total team blocks, good for the best mark all season. Senior Hanna Forst contributed a season high five blocks to the total. Forst also rounded out the offensive performance with 12 kills and a service ace. Sophomore setter Amy Henard continued her assault on the record books with her second best performance of the season, recording 55 assists and only one ball handling error. Henard remains in seventh on the all-time career assists list. The Mean Green is now 1-3 all-time against Marshall in a series dating back to 1991. Marshall drops its first Conference USA game of the season as North Texas improves to 3-2 in C-USA play. Coach Palileo looks to keep his team on track heading into a crucial conference road trip next weekend. “The biggest thing for me and talking to our sport psychologist is letting them grieve, letting them cry when they need to cry, giving them time when they need some time and letting them laugh when they need to laugh. I’m trying to allow them more freedom during this time while keeping us focused and staying on purpose in everything we’re doing.” North Texas, after two consecutive wins, is now 7-2 at home in 2014. The Mean Green is 29-8 while playing in Denton across the last three seasons, and has historically struggled on the road. North Texas will have to buckle up if it wants to improve on its 3-2 road record thus far. “Everything we’re going through, we can learn from it and manage it correctly. We can still be a special team even though we’re going through something like this right now,” Palileo concluded. The Mean Green (12-6, 3-2) travels to Hattiesburg, MS to take on Southern Miss (13-8, 2-2) on Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. before heading to Bowling Green, KY to take on C-USA leader Western Kentucky on Oct. 12 at 12 p.m

HATTIESBURG, MS - Playing its first road game just one week removed from the tragic events of last Friday, the Mean Green fell just short of overcoming adversity and beating Southern Miss. North Texas dropped the tightly contested match in four sets (27-29, 25-22, 21-25, 23-25) at Reed Green Coliseum on Friday night. “Sometimes you just aren’t going to play well on the road, but you can still play consistent and avoid making errors,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “Tonight we just made way too many errors to be successful.” Both teams came out hot in the first set with North Texas hitting .306 as a team. Neither team wanted to drop the first frame as set points were traded back and forth until finally the Golden Eagles wrapped up the extended set 29-27. Freshman Holly Milam’s 5 kills and unblemished hitting percentage weren’t enough to overcome the homecourt advantage present for Southern Miss, playing on a “Dig Pink” promotional night. North Texas looked to cruise to a set two win, leading by as much as 21-13. However, Southern Miss wouldn’t go down without a fight, closing the gap before finally conceding to the Mean Green 25-22. Coach Palileo’s squad seemed to be in good shape headed into intermission tied up at one all. Tonight’s match would come down to which team would cool off first. Unfortunately, on this night, that team would be North Texas. Southern Miss exploded out of the break, hitting a very impressive .395 as a team with just four errors. That mark, in combination with a dismal offensive performance (.154 hitting percentage) by the Mean Green would spot the home team a lead heading into the fourth set. The Mean Green fought valiantly in the fourth set, scraping its way back to tie things up at 23-23 at a crucial time. What looked like it might be a huge turning point for North Texas, ended up being too much to overcome as back-to-back kills by Stephany Purdue sealed the victory for Southern Miss. Senior Hanna Forst continues to outperform herself each and every week. Forst recorded 18 digs on Friday night, shattering her previous best of 13, which was set earlier this season against Cleveland State. The senior added 12 kills on the night, making her the only North Texas player to record a double-double in the match. Junior Carnae Dillard showed why her numbers top the NCAA charts this season, by adding 22 kills on .327 hitting. Dillard also recorded nine digs, just missing an addition to her nation leading double-doubles total. Milam rounded out the Mean Green scoring with 10 kills and 6 total blocks, the latter being a new career high. The Mean Green (12-7, 3-3 C-USA) look to rest and reorganize as they travel up to Bowling Green, Kentucky to take on Conference USA leader, Western Kentucky University (17-4, 5-0 C-USA) on Sunday at 12 p.m. CT at E.A. Diddle Arena.

Recap

BOWLING GREEN, KY - North Texas turned on the jets a little too late in Sunday’s match, falling to Western Kentucky on the road in four sets (25-13, 25-18, 21-25, 25-19). The Hilltoppers remain undefeated in the Conference USA lead, while the Mean Green drops to 3-4 in conference play. North Texas, entered E.A. Diddle Arena on Sunday with hopes of accomplishing a feat only one other Mean Green squad has been able to do before; beat Western Kentucky. Unfortunately, a slow start found the Mean Green on the ropes after a dominating performance by the Hilltoppers in set one. WKU crushed North Texas by 12, outhitting them .515 to .135 as a team. “I was very proud of the way my team fought after the first set,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. In a much tighter second set, North Texas more than doubled their team attack percentage (.308) from the first frame. However, WKU stayed just as hot, hitting another incredible mark of .471. The Mean Green, heading out of the break down 0-2, would have to make adjustments to avoid falling victim to their third sweep of the season. A fired up North Texas side came out fast in the third frame, leading the Hilltoppers by as much as eight. An incredible sequence including an all-out pancake dig by senior Hanna Forst and a rocket shot kill from junior Carnae Dillard extended the match into a fourth set. After leading late in set four, 17-15, the Mean Green allowed one final run by WKU, shattering all hopes of a comeback. If there’s any silver lining from Sunday’s tough loss, Forst found it. “I think that’s the first time we’ve taken a set from [WKU] since I’ve been here,” Forst commented after the match. WKU, a very talented and storied program, has dominated the all-time series against the Mean Green, winning 15 of 16 total meetings between the former Sun Belt Conference foes. The lone Mean Green victory came back in 2008, a three set affair in Denton. With today’s 3-1 final score, North Texas breaks a streak of four straight three set sweep victories by WKU, dating back to 2011. Dillard finished the match with 23 kills on 59 attempts, good for a .237 hitting percentage. By adding 14 digs to her stat line, the junior also picked up her 14th double-double of the season, pulling her within one of the NCAA leader. Another day, another outstanding contribution by Forst. The senior, peaking at a perfect time in her North Texas career, recorded her second double-double of the season after a 14 kill, 14 dig performance against the Hilltoppers. In addition, she also added three total blocks. Forst’s 52 attack attempts on Sunday marked the second best tally of her career. Freshman Amanda Chamberlain rounded out the North Texas effort with six total blocks, equaling a season high set back on Sept. 6 at Texas State. North Texas (12-8, 3-4 C-USA) looks to rebound from a tough two-loss conference weekend, when Charlotte (12-12, 1-6 C-USA) comes to town to square off on Friday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. inside the North Texas Volleyball Center. The Mean Green will then hit the road for a short one game trip to take on Louisiana Tech in Ruston on Sunday.

Recap

DENTON-North Texas fell victim to an upset by Charlotte, second from the bottom in the C-USA standings, in four sets (25-14, 21-25, 12-25, 20-25) on Friday night in front of a large home crowd. “Charlotte did a great job of remaining patient and defended our hitters well.” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “I have to give them a lot of credit for that.” After taking the first set in dominant fashion, 25-14, the Mean Green seemed to tense up and allow the 49ers to take control of the match. North Texas hit an incredible .400 as a team in the first set, but it would all go downhill from there. “We got a little impatient and when you start to get impatient, your hitters start trying to do more than they need to,” Palileo added. “I think we fell into that trap tonight.” Charlotte, led by the swings of Claire Kreuz and Abreia Epps, turned things around in a hurry. The 49ers outhit the Mean Green .321 to an extremely poor .014 across the final three sets of the match. The pivotal turning point proved to be the dominating performance by Charlotte in the third set. With the match knotted up at one apiece, the Mean Green went subzero cold, hitting -.200 as a team. The 49ers capitalized on the mistakes, smashing 14 kills en route to a 25-12 blowout. North Texas committed 43 total errors, handing the 49ers nearly half of their 89 total points in the four set match. In addition, the Mean Green was outblocked by a large margin, 11 to 4. “We have to do a better job getting our team prepared,” Palileo concluded. “[We need] to put them in a better position to be successful, so as a coaching staff we need to make sure our team is ready to play.” North Texas (12-9, 3-5 C-USA) will look to rebound when they take on Louisiana Tech (8-13, 0-7 C-USA) in Ruston on Sunday at 2 p.m.

North Texas LA Tech

Recap

RUSTON, LA-North Texas snapped a three game Conference USA skid, defeating Louisiana Tech in a dominating three set performance (25-14, 30-28, 25-21) in Ruston on Sunday afternoon. With the victory, the Mean Green also avoided its fourth consecutive road loss, a streak that previously dated back to Septemember 26 when North Texas last defeated UTEP in El Paso. “Any win on the road helps the confidence of our team as we enter preparation for next weekend,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. The Mean Green came out firing on all cylinders, jumping on LA Tech early in the match with a landslide first set victory. North Texas, led my Carnae Dillard’s 19 kills and Holly Milam’s .643 hitting, built early momentum with .519 team hitting en route to a 25-14 set one win. “I thought we played better today defensively,” Palileo added. “[We] gave ourselves extra opportunities to score and took advantage of those opportunities.” Three players reached double digit figures in digs for North Texas; Eboni Godfrey with a team-high 11, Hanna Forst and Dillard each with 10 digs. The Mean Green only committed one reception error in the entire match and held the Lady Techsters to .203 team hitting, picking up five total team blocks along the way. North Texas (13-9, 4-5 C-USA) looks to even their Conference USA record back up at .500 when they take on Florida Atlantic (14-6, 5-2 C-USA) inside the friendly confines of the North Texas Volleyball Center in Denton on Friday, October 24, at 7 p.m.

Recap

DENTON-North Texas, after dropping set one, stormed back to defeat a tough Florida Atlantic squad in four sets in the North Texas Volleyball Center on Friday night. “I thought we did a great job of keeping our composure tonight especially after the first set,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. The Mean Green took advantage of an outstanding team performance on defense en route to the victory. North Texas, led by freshman Amanda Chamberlain with six blocks, picked up 11 total team blocks, good for their second highest tally of the season. “We blocked and defeneded tonight which allowed us some extra swings,” Palileo added. “Our team defense carried us tonight, especially since Carnae [Dillard] and Hanna [Forst] both had unusual off nights.” Forst, a senior outside hitter who had been hot of late, was fortunate to fight back for a six kill, fourteen dig performance even while recording a .000 hitting percentage on the night. Dillard, who only hit .186, was still able to pick up 22 kills on an “off” night. Already tied for the NCAA lead heading into tonight’s match, she was also just one dig shy of picking up her 17th double-double of the season. Senior Eboni Godfrey rounded out the outstanding defensive performance with 21 digs, just one shy of a career high set earlier this season at Texas State. North Texas returns to action on Sunday, looking to extend its winning streak to over two games for the first time since a seven game run back in early September. The Mean Green (14-9, 5-5 C-USA) take on FIU (6-16, 3-6 C-USA) at 1 p.m in the North Texas Volleyball Center.

The offensive success was sparked by sophomore setter Amy Henard, who turned out an impressive performance with 39 assists and 7 digs on her 20th birthday today. Henard’s assist tally against FIU passes two more former players and slides her into the fifth spot on the North Texas all-time career assists list with 1,974 in only her second season of play.

“When you win a big game like that on Friday night, we had to see our team would respond in today’s match,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “I think we responded well, even though we let some points go to FIU, especially in the third set.” The Mean Green jumped out to a 2-0 lead heading into intermission after two identical dominating performances in sets one and two. North Texas, allowed FIU to take their first lead of the match late in the third set, but still managed to pull of the sweep in a close two point victory.

“Amy did a great job today leading our team,” Palileo added. “We hit over .300 [as a team] in the first set, and the hitting percentage is a direct representative of her setting choices. She did a good job of that overall.” North Texas notched its 75th program victory inside the North Texas Volleyball Center with the sweep, improving its overall record to 75-48 (.610) at home since the gym’s opening in 2006. The Mean Green is an incredible 34-9 in front of a home crowd over the course of the last three years. “This is a great place to play-I love playing in here-and I know the players love playing here,” Palileo concluded. “It’s a tough environment for our opponents to come in here and try to pull a match off.”

Recap

MURFREESBORO, TN - The Mean Green grinded out a tough road victory over Middle Tennessee in five sets (21-25, 25-14, 25-15, 22-25, 15-12) on Halloween night, in a match with massive Conference USA postseason implications. “It was another good win on the road for us tonight,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “It goes a long way towards preparation for the conference tournament.” North Texas, on the verge of clinching a Conference USA postseason berth, dominated the second and third sets after dropping the opening frame. The Blue Raiders, tied for the eighth and final slot with UAB, hit .156 and .029 in those sets respectively to give the Mean Green momentum. Middle Tennessee narrowly escaped a near comeback attempt in the fourth set when North Texas rallied to fight off five consecutive set points. After falling behind 9-7 in the fifth and deciding frame, a beautiful finesse shot from senior Hanna Forst seemed to reenergize the Mean Green and propel them to victory. Freshman McKenna Thornlow capped off the battle with a service ace to seal the victory for North Texas; volleyball’s equivalent to a walk-off home run in baseball. Thornlow also added 10 digs on the night. Junior Carnae Dillard proved once again why she deserves to be among the nation’s elite with an absolutely incredible 26 kill, 23 dig performance in the hostile road environment. Dillard’s dig tally shatters her previous season high of 18 and falls just three short of a new career high. North Texas (16-9, 7-5 C-USA) looks to extend its four match winning streak on the road at UAB in Birmingham on Sunday at 1 p.m. A Conference USA tournament slot will be on the line, as the Mean Green looks to clinch while the Blazers continue to scrap for the final spot.

Recap

BIRMINGHAM, AL. - North Texas cruised past UAB on the road in three sets (25-13, 25-18, 25-21) Sunday afternoon, clinching a spot in the Conference USA tournament. The Mean Green used a season-high team hitting percentage of .379 to dominate the Blazers from start to finish. “We came out very aggressive today, especially with our serve,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “We stayed disciplined with our blocking plan and our defense again gave us those extra opportunities to swing.” A much improved defense shined on Sunday, with five blocks in the first set alone to set the tone early. North Texas held UAB to dismal -.061 hitting in the first frame to take a massive lead and never look back. Junior outside hitter Carnae Dillard followed up her phenomenal “20-20” performance on Friday night with 15 kills and 10 digs against the Blazers. Her 18 double-doubles on the season trails the NCAA lead by only one. “We picked up two good wins in very difficult road environments this weekend,” Palileo added. “I am very proud of our girls.” Holly Milam, Hanna Forst and Amanda Chamberlain all recorded attack percentages over .500 to lead the offensive charge. With the victory, the Mean Green moved into a tie for the fifth position in the Conference USA standings with Florida Atlantic, an opponent they own the tiebreaker over after handling them easily at home earlier this season. “One of our goals this season was to ensure we made the conference tournament first and we did that,” Palileo concluded. “Now we have to finish our season strong and continue our growth as a team in the weeks building up to the [Conference USA] tournament.” North Texas (17-9, 8-5 C-USA) looks to continue its current hot streak of five consecutive victories and improve its tournament seeding when it takes on Rice in the final road game of the regular season. The Mean Green will attempt to avenge a 3-1 home loss to the Owls on Friday, November 7, at 6 p.m. inside Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston.

HOUSTON-North Texas upset Rice in dominating fashion (30-28, 25-19, 25-20) on the road Friday night, for its sixth consecutive victory. “Playing better on the road is something we have been wanting to work on,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “This win tonight is a result of the hard work we put in during the week-I am proud of the way our girls played tonight.” North Texas, a squad that went 3-8 on the road in 2013, has completely turned a 180 in the way they approach road trips, and it shows. Friday’s victory over Rice, a match heavily dominated by the Mean Green, sends North Texas’ road record to 7-4 in 2014. “We managed our game plan well and took advantage of opportunities that Rice gave us in each set,” Palileo added. “Winning the first set was big for us-especially being down early-but our players stayed the course and just kept fighting.” In the first frame, North Texas traded blows back and forth with the Owls in a dogfight. Neither team could grasp a lead larger than two points in a set that saw four lead changes and the score tied thirteen times. The Mean Green fought off four Rice set points before junior Carnae Dillard stepped up with two straight kills in the clutch to take the extended first set 30-28. Palileo’s squad finally broke things open in the second set, outhitting the Owls .366 to .077 as a team to take a 2-0 lead. North Texas never looked back after the intermission, leading by as much as ten and never trailing in a dominant third and final set. “The things that we are doing on our side of the net, we’re doing real well right now,” Palileo said. “We’re playing as a team and our chemistry is thriving right now.” The Mean Green machine keeps on trucking down the final stretch of the regular season, having won six consecutive matches. Of those six wins, most haven’t even been close, as North Texas has swept four of those matches and dropped only three sets along the way. “[Tonight] was a huge confidence boost for us, and hopefully it will carry us into our next match against a tough TCU team,” Palileo concluded. “We’re going to find out a lot about both teams come Sunday.”

North Texas took a 2-0 commanding lead into the break after controlling the first two sets of the match, trailing just once to that point. In the third frame, the bid for a sweep seemed to be in question when North Texas found itself facing its largest deficit of the night, trailing 15-11 heading into a timeout called by Palileo.

“Anytime you can beat an instate rival like that it’s a big thing,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “I respect [TCU’s] program and what they’re doing-[the win] does big things for us in recruiting and other aspects-but for us right now it was just a good match to see where we’re at as a program outside of conference play.” Behind the electric atmosphere of an over-capacity crowd, North Texas held the Horned Frogs in check at .194 hitting as a team, well below the .260 season average coming into tonight’s match. A much improved Mean Green defensive unit picked up 41 digs and 8 blocks en route to the statement victory.

“When we got down, I told the girls `It’s not about the other side of the court, it’s about us and what we’re doing-we have to handle things a little bit better. We just need to let the plays happen.” Palileo’s Mean Green squad, with junior Carnae Dillard at the serve, immediately responded with a 6-1 run to retake the lead over the Horned Frogs. North Texas would trail once more at 20-19, but TCU didn’t have enough in the tank to hold off the Mean Green any longer. A Hanna Forst block would put the exclamation point on the three set sweep, igniting the crowd one last time on the night. North Texas (19-9, 9-5 C-USA) will look to extend its season long seven game winning streak after

Recap

DENTON - With a rocking crowd on hand inside the North Texas Volleyball Center on Thursday night, the Mean Green took down Conference USA leader UTSA in three sets (25-21, 27-25, 2517) of dominating action. North Texas has yet to drop a set in the month of November, taking 13 straight en route to their season high eighth consecutive victory. “[UTSA] is a good team, there’s a reason why they were 14-0 [in conference play] coming in to the match,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “They were just a little bit off tonight, but I also thought we took advantage and worked our game plan really well.” In complete contrast of the Sept. 28 matchup between the Mean Green and the Roadrunners, North Texas controlled most of the match and finished strong. No matter how hard they tried, UTSA could not slow the onslaught of a hot North Texas team in front of an energetic home crowd. “Sometimes we’ve had trouble closing out sets, but tonight we did a better job of that,” Palileo added. “We’ve been focusing on controlling our side of the net - when we’re given opportunities [by our opponent], we’re then stepping through that door and creating opportunities for ourselves.” Led by the arm of AVCA National Player of the Week Carnae Dillard, who recorded 25 kills on .450 hitting, North Texas recorded its fourth straight game with a team hitting percentage of over .300 with only 12 total errors on the night. Defending Conference USA Setter of the Week Amy Henard also contributed 40 assists to the impressive all-around offensive effort. “After the things we’ve been through this year as a team, I feel like we’re finally emotionally back,” Palileo commented, on the momentum heading into postseason play. “I’m sure that if we get to where our team wants to go, we will see [UTSA] again,” Peaking at just the right time, North Texas has played themselves into a scenario that could land

Recap

DENTON - Seniors led the way on Saturday night, as North Texas made quick work of the outmatched Miners in three sets (25-21, 25-18, 25-14). With the victory, the Mean Green clinched the No. 3 seed in next week’s Conference USA tournament. “UTEP did a great job of putting us in tough situations that we didn’t handle well,” head coach Andrew Palileo said. “In the end, I thought we did what we needed to do tonight to get the job done.” On a night dedicated to them, North Texas seniors Eboni Godfrey, Hanna Forst, and Camille Cherry turned out impressive performances crucial to tonight’s victory. Forst led all scorers with 11 kills on 33 attacks, two service aces, and 1.5 total blocks en route to a game-high 14.5 total points contributed to the offensive performance. Playing through an imense ammount of emotion, Cherry picked up 17 assists to lead the way for the Mean Green setters. Godfrey also added a team-high 13 digs to the defensive side. “Our seniors won for the last time in the North Texas Volleyball Center tonight,” Palileo added. “All three were great leaders and the recent success we’ve had is due to their hard work and attention to detail.” This senior class is responsible for a 37-9 record in front of a home crowd over the last three seasons and a 17-11 record in its first two seasons of transitioning into Conference USA. Earlier this season, the group of three led North Texas to its best start in program history at 9-1 through the first 10 matches. “As we move towards the tournament, I like the way we’re playing as a team,” Palileo concluded. “ I know we look forward to getting back in the gym this week to prepare for a solid tournament run.” After winning the last nine matches of the season, the Mean Green will enter next week’s tournament as arguably the hottest team in Conference USA. North Texas has clinched the third seed and will play the first round on Friday, November 21, but will await the bracket announcement to find out their opponent and match time.
