NEW ORLEANS, La. - Memphis setter Hajnalka Molnar set 34 assists and added 10 digs for her team-leading seventh double of the year, but Tulane got a combined 25 kills from its middle blocking tandem to take the Tigers down 3-0 in Conference USA action, Friday night at Fogelman Arena. Tulane hit a scorching .640 on 17 kills in the opening set and finished the night hitting .352. Marija Jovanovic landed a team-high 14 kills and Altrese Hawkins connected for 12 kills and hit .391 for the Memphis offense. The U of M hit .385 in the opening set, but was unable to an early run by the Green Wave. Tulane used a four-point push to break an 8-8 tie and extended the lead to 19-12 late in the set. Memphis managed to close the gap to four points three times, but did not help its cause with three service errors in a 25-19 loss. Tulane jumped out to a 5-1 lead to start the second set and never trailed. The Wave maintained the four-point cushion until Memphis put together a 4-1 surge midway through the set. Consecutive kills by Hawkins trimmed the Tiger’s deficit to 16-15, and Jovanovic drilled a kill to knot the set at 17-all. However, Tulane came back with scores on six of the next eight rallies to grab a comfortable 23-19 lead. Memphis forced three-straight Tulane offensive errors to get within one, at 23-22. Jelic downed a kill to make it 24-23, but Memphis could not find the equalizer as Tulane took a 2-0 lead into the intermission. Trailing 14-10 in the third, Hawkins struck for a kill to ignite a Memphis rally that ended with a kill by Jelic for a 20-19 Tiger lead. An attacking error by the Green Wave extended the U of M lead to two-points. But Memphis was unable to maintain the advantage. Memphis held two match-point serve, but Tulane connected on kills on both occasions. An Tiger hitting error gave Tulane a 26-25 advantage, which they never relinquished.

Like a Hawk Altrese Hawkins continues to rake in the honors, as the redshirt-junior was named to Conference USA’s All-Preseason team. The selection comes after her selection to C-USA’s All-Conference First Team following the completion of the 2010 season. Hawkins also earned All-Freshman honors after her first season in 2009. Hawkins was selected to COBRA Magazine’s All-Preseason First Team. She earns the award after a stellar sophomore season in which she downed 483 kills and held a teambest hitting percentage of .305. She was one of only two Tigers to compete in all 122 sets during the 2010 campaign, highlighted by a 29-kill performance against Southern Miss on Oct. 29. The 29-kill showing ranks eighth in the Memphis record book for the most kills in a single match. Hawkins lived up to the hype, as she was named the Memphis Invitational’s MVP and also tabbed C-USA’s Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Aug. 29. 800-win Milestone The University of Memphis Volleyball program, entering its 40th year in 2011, collected its 800th program victory with a 3-1 victory over SEMO on August 26.

Tigers Sink Pirates 3-0 in C-USA Showdown

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Despite two players with double-digit kills, the Memphis women’s volleyball team fell in three sets to UAB (17-25, 14-25, 20-25) Tuesday night to open Conference-USA play. The loss snaps a six-match Tiger win streak and gives Memphis an 11-3 overall record this season while UAB improves to 11-2.

Memphis,Tenn. - The Memphis Tigers picked up their first conference win of the season as they downed the ECU Pirates in three-straight sets (27-25, 25-19, 25-18) Friday night at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. The win gives the Tigers a 12-3 record on the season and a 1-1 mark in Conference USA action, while the Pirates fall to 2-8 and 0-2 in conference play.

Junior Marija Jovanovic led the way for the Tigers with 14 kills while fellow junior Altrese Hawkins recorded 10, moving her past current Tiger head coach April Jauregui and into 18th place all-time in the Memphis record books with 1,019 career putaways. Junior Vesna Jelic led the Tiger defense with 14 digs, but Memphis could not overcome 10 UAB team blocks, hitting just .104 in the match. The Tigers jumped out to early 5-2 lead in set one, thanks in part to three kills from Hawkins, but a 7-0 Blazer run soon had Memphis on its heels trailing 9-5. Jelic finally ended UAB’s streak with a kill down the middle, leading to a backand-forth battle on the scoreboard. However, a clean attack kept UAB in front as the Blazers hit .364 for the set with just one error to record a 25-17 victory. Set two was tight from the start as Memphis went toe-to-toe with its conference rivals. The Blazers were finally able to eek out a 10-7 lead after a 4-1 spurt punctuated with a solo block. The Tigers fought back and had two chances to tie the set but were plagued by hitting errors, which allowed UAB to string together an 11-2 run. Trailing 17-10, Memphis simply didn’t have enough left in the tank to overtake the charging Blazers, falling 25-14.

Junior Altrese Hawkins led the way for the Tigers with 11 kills followed by freshman Lauren Hawkins with eight. Junior Hajnalka Molnar continued her nation leading ways in assists, posting 34, while junior Marija Jovanovic led the way in digs with 14. The Tigers jumped out to an early 3-1 lead in the first set behind two early kills from Altrese Hawkins. Memphis led most of the set until late when the Pirates rallied behind a 6-0 run to tie the game at 24. In the end Memphis would prevail 27-25 on a fifth kill by Hawkins. Memphis would take set two, clawing out a 12-6 lead early that included run of four-straight points for the Tigers. Redshirt junior Vesna Jelic posted five kills in the set with Altrese Hawkins, Marija Jovanovic, and Lauren Hawkins each cheking in with four. ECU would keep it close, but the Tigers would eventually take the set 25-19. The Pirates would come back strong in set three but in the end the Tigers would be too much, taking the win 25-19. Set three saw Vesna Jelic set a career best in services aces with six, besting her previous best of five against UALR earlier this year.

Hawkins pounded home a crosscourt kill to begin set three and set the tone for the Tigers, who were soon leading 5-2. However, despite two more kills from Hawkins, UAB strung together a 7-2 run to pull ahead at 9-7. Back-to-back putaways from Jovanovic soon knotted the score, but the Blazers continued to do just enough to stay in front, capitalizing on Memphis miscues and continuing their offensive assault to take a 17-12 lead. However, energized by an enthusiastic crowd, the Tigers refused to go down without a fight and put together a 7-2 run capitalized by their first block of the night to tie the score at 19-19 and force a UAB timeout. But it was all Blazers out of the break as they quickly put away six of the next seven points to end the Tiger comeback and the match with a 25-20 win.

vs. Marshall Sunday, Sept. 25 Memphis, 3-0 Memphis Volleyball Sweeps Marshall In C-USA Action MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A strong defensive presence helped the Memphis volleyball team improve to 2-1 in Conference USA play and 13-3 overall with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-21, 25-21) win over Marshall on Sunday. The Tigers held Marshall to .227 hitting thanks in part to five team blocks and 40 digs. Junior Vesna Jelic posted a team-high 10 digs while junior Marija Jovanovic and freshman Aleksandra Petronijevic each tallied nine. Junior Altrese Hawkins paced the Tiger offense with 14 kills. Senior Cameron Yoho led the Thundering Herd with a double-double of 11 digs and 10 kills. Memphis got off to a strong start in set one with the first three points going to the home team. Hawkins had two early kills to help the Tigers jump out to a 7-3 lead. However, Marshall scored five of the next seven points after finding its offensive rhythm and was finally able to tie the score at 11-11. But the Tiger defense came up big with a powerful block from Lauren Hawkins and Hajnalka Molnar to prevent the Herd from taking the lead. The two teams stayed tight from there with Memphis maintaining a slight advantage but feeling constant pressure from the Herd. That pressure finally paid off for Marshall as it took the lead 19-18 after three straight kills. But the advantage was short-lived as Altrese Hawkins took over the set and powered home four kills in the final seven points to give Memphis the 25-22 win. Hawkins finished the frame with seven kills on .455 hitting. Set two began the same way as set one, with an early Memphis lead and a powerful attack led by Hawkins. But Marshall quickly got into sync and scored three straight points to go up 5-4. After falling behind, 9-6, the Tigers began making their move, putting together a 5-1 run featuring two aces to regain the lead at 11-10. The Herd tied the score once and had several other opportunities to even the tally, but Memphis stayed strong and took the set, 25-21. With the Tigers sensing victory and Marshall trying to stay in the match, set three was tight from the opening serve. The Herd used a 3-0 spurt to go in front 9-6 only to see Memphis respond with a 7-1 run to build a 13-10 lead. The advantage quickly became 18-12 as the Tigers stayed on the attack, eventually scoring the 25-21 victory.

Conference USA

2011 CONFERENCE USA STANDINGS CONFERENCE USA After marking its 15-year milestone during the 2009-10 season, Conference USA is still going strong. From the beginning, dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains today a common thread for a promising future. C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. All C-USA institutions sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs, many of which compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.

C-USA NOTES OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK KATIE NORRIS, HOUSTON // 6-0, JR., OH // HUMBLE, TEXAS Norris helped the Cougars open Conference USA play with a 3-0 record for the first time since 2007 with wins over Rice, Southern Miss and Tulane. In the three wins, Norris had 39 kills (3.25 kps), four blocks, 16 digs (1.33 dps) and posted a .323 hitting percentage (39K-8E-96TA). Norris opened the week with a career-high 17 kills and established a .531 hitting percentage with a 17-for32 performance against the Owls. In addition, in 32 attack attempts she did not record an error. Norris followed that up with a career-high 18 kills and two blocks against Southern Miss and closed out the weekend with four fills, two blocks and five digs against Tulane. This is Norris’ first career Offensive Player of the Week honor. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK KIRSTEN GALLAGHER, UAB // 6-2, JR., MB // AUBURN, ALA. Gallagher was a presence at the net for the Blazers as UAB posted a 3-0 record in the first week of conference play. The Blazers are now 13-2 overall, thanks to Gallagher’s ability to be a wall against opponent’s attacks. The Auburn, Ala., native averaged 1.90 blocks per set, as she posted match-highs in that statistic in victories against Memphis, Marshall and East Carolina. In the sweep of the Tigers, Gallagher recorded three solo blocks and three block assists, before tallying nine and four total blocks versus the Herd and Pirates, respectively. She posted as many solo blocks (6) for the week as the three conference opponents did combined. Gallagher guided the Blazers’ defense to hold opponents to a C-USA weekly best .089 attacking percentage. Gallagher picks up her first career Defensive Player of the Week honor and it marks UAB’s second-consecutive defensive accolade of the season. SETTER OF THE WEEK CAITLIN OGLETREE, HOUSTON // 5-8, FR., S // MONTGOMERY, TEXAS Ogletree helped the Cougars open Conference USA play with a 3-0 record for the first time since 2007 with wins over Rice, Southern Miss and Tulane. She accounted for 11.33 assists per set (136 total) as well as tallying 21 digs and five service aces in the three wins. She opened the weekend with 40 assists (13.33/set), four digs and two service aces against Rice. She followed that up with a career-high 53 assists and nine digs in a win over Southern Miss and closed out the weekend with 43 assists, eight digs and two blocks against Tulane. This is the rookie’s first Setter of the Week honor.
