INTRODUCTION
NEBRASKA COLISEUM
The Nebraska Coliseum has been sold out for the last 164 matches dating back to the 2001 season. It is the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics.
One of the foundations for Nebraska’s athletic success is its outstanding facilities, and few home courts in the country are as tradition-rich as the Nebraska Coliseum, the home of the Husker volleyball program. Over the years, the 4,030-seat NU Coliseum has provided the Nebraska volleyball program with an unmatched home-court advantage. “Winston Churchill said ‘in the beginning, we build buildings. In the end, we are shaped by the buildings we live in.’ I think the Coliseum shapes Nebraska volleyball,” Former Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit said. “It’s an environment that creates intimacy. It’s a classic structure and in a lot of ways reflects what the Nebraska program is all about.” The Coliseum, which sits nestled on the University campus, is a beautiful display of architecture, highlighted by its powerful Roman columns gracing the front steps. But while it’s beauty is appreciated by Husker players, coaches and fans, it is one of the most dreaded places for opponents to play in the sport of volleyball, and arguably one of the toughest places to play in college athletics. “If the volleyball gods wanted to build a volleyball court, the Coliseum would be it,” NU Coach John Cook said. “It’s a very intimate setting. Everyone feels part of the event.” During the Terry Pettit/John Cook era, the Huskers have qualified for 30 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, and the Coliseum crowd has willed the Huskers to many victories in the historic building. Cook credited the NU Coliseum crowd with willing the Huskers to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win over South Carolina in the 2000 NCAA second round that kept the Huskers’ national championship season alive. Nebraska volleyball has had unmatched success in the confines of the cozy Coliseum, posting 19 undefeated seasons and compiling an all-time record of 509-33 (.939) under its roof. The Huskers are 238-16 (.937) since 1990 in the building, including 12
The Wall of Honor was unveiled in 2003 to permanently showcase the greatest players in Nebraska volleyball history. Seven former Huskers have received the honor, most recently Nancy Metcalf in 2011.

undefeated seasons in that span. While these numbers are impressive, former conference members managed even fewer wins. That’s because Nebraska doesn’t lose to conference opponents in the Coliseum. Only five times in 36 years of regular-season play has a conference opponent won on the Coliseum floor. In fact, during that time, only five conference opponents managed to win in Lincoln. Nebraska suffered its first-ever regular-season loss to a conference foe in 1999, falling to Kansas State to snap a streak of 101 consecutive wins against regularseason conference opponents. Under John Cook, the Huskers have dropped only four conference home matches at the Coliseum. In the Huskers’ first year as members of the Big Ten Conference, Nebraska remained undefeated in conference matches at home, including wins over top-ranked Illinois and then-No. 5 Penn State. Cook and Pettit said the home-court advantage is most valuable during its long, hard-fought battles. “You feel incredibly confident when you get into a fifth game in the Coliseum because of the electricity in tight matches,” Cook said. “The home crowd was a big advantage when we were fatigued or drained in the middle of a four- or five-game match,” Pettit said. “The players used the energy and electricity from the fans to pull them through difficult stretches. I don’t think that it’s as big an advantage against the elite teams, but it definitely makes a difference.” Nebraska has used that success at home to propel it through the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers have hosted an NCAA Tournament match every season since 1984 and have capitalized on each opportunity by compiling a 52-4 playoff record in the stoic building. And Nebraska fans have been rewarded by seeing eight of the Huskers’ 11 NCAA regional championships won on their home court. Nebraska carried a 65-match Coliseum win streak into the 1999 season, but suffered a loss to No. 6 Pacific in the State Farm/NACWAA Classic semifinal.

In 2002, the Huskers carried a 63-match home winning streak into its NCAA regional final match against Hawaii, but fell, 3-1. The Huskers won 82 straight matches at the NU Coliseum from 2004 to 2009, helping Nebraska set an NCAA-record 90 match home win streak. The win streaks are a direct result of Nebraska’s frenzied crowds that routinely jam the building’s bleachers. The Huskers finished second nationally in attendance in 2011 with a Coliseum average attendance of 4,522, a total that is 102 percent of the Coliseum's listed capacity. Single-match tickets in 2012 sold out in just 20 minutes. Nebraska enters the 2012 season with 164 straight sellouts in the building dating back to 2001. The Coliseum surroundings create a unique volleyball- and fan-friendly environment. “To appreciate the athleticism and the speed of the game, you have to be down close and the Coliseum provides that intimate setting," Cook said about the NU Coliseum atmosphere. Fans have been known to line up as much as four to five hours in advance to see their Husker volleyball team in action. During the 2009 season, fans set an NCAA regular-season attendance mark of 13,870 for a match against UCLA in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska has averaged more than 3,000 fans for 17 of the past 19 seasons and have been ranked in the top three nationally in attendance each year for more than 20 years. The Coliseum’s roots go back to the 1920s when it was the home for the Husker basketball team. NU’s cagers played on its hardwood floors from 1926 to 1977, when the construction on the Bob Devaney Sports Center was completed. Since then, the volleyball team has been its lone tenant. In 1991, the Huskers had a one-year hiatus from the Coliseum while the building was being renovated and tailored for volleyball. The renovation provided a more comfortable atmosphere for players, coaches and fans. Among the additions were a new sound system, scoreboard, overhead lights and a new floor. Offices for coaches and administrators, as well as a conference/ media room, were constructed for a better working environment. Over the years, the building has seen numerous additions to add to the comfort of both players and fans, while keeping the tradition of the building and the Husker volleyball program. Over the past decade, locker rooms, training areas and coaches offices have all been upgraded to provide Husker student-athletes with some of the best facilities in the country. For fans, HuskerVision replay boards, a new scoreboard and new displays have been added, recognizing the great heritage and tradition of the program. Additional seating for fans was created in 2005, with the addition of the Husker Courtside Club. This added 64 premium seats on the Coliseum floor, giving fans an upclose view of all of the exciting volleyball action, and making Nebraska one of the first programs in the country to add premium courtside seating for volleyball.
The NU Coliseum was the home of the Nebraska’s men’s basketball team until the Bob Devaney Sports Center opened in the mid-1970s.
The Husker Courtside Club was established in 2005, providing fans an up-close view of Husker volleyball. It was one of the first premium seating locations for volleyball in the country.
The Huskers won 82 straight matches at the NU Coliseum from 2004 until 2009.

INTRODUCTION
THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE Formed more than 116 years ago, the Big Ten Conference is an association of world-class academic institutions with shared values and goals. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been the priority for every member institution. However, maintaining the conference’s status as one of the preeminent athletic conferences in the country also endures as an important component of the Big Ten student-athlete experience. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its student-athletes not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.
James E. Delany Commissioner
Academics
All Big Ten Universities have been granted Tier One Status by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a distinction awarded to just over 100 universities. Big Ten schools have produced more than 1,400 Academic All-Americans, more than any other conference, including 36 in the last academic year. The Big Ten leads all conferences with the highest number of ranked graduate school programs among the top 25 according to U.S. News and World Report in 2012. The Big Ten ranks first with 30 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medical (research and primary care), business, engineering and education.
Successful Programs
During the 2011-12 season, the Big Ten claimed seven team national championships, including titles for Illinois men’s gymnastics, Minnesota women’s ice hockey, Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State fencing and synchronized swimming, Penn State wrestling and Wisconsin men’s cross country. The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 12 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2002-03 to 2011-12. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
Student-Athlete Opportunities
Big Ten universities provide over $136 million in direct financial aid to nearly 10,000 student-athletes, more than any conference. The Big Ten sponsors 25 official conference sports, 12 for men and 13 for women. The 26th conference sport, men’s ice hockey, will begin in 2013.
Television Exposure
The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, FOX and the Big Ten Network (BTN) provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. Nearly 1,000 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis. In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network, the BTN. It launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and now is in its sixth year of operation. BTN is in 51 million homes in the United States and Canada, through agreements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco providers, and is available internationally in 20 countries.

Honoring Legends. Building Leaders.
The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and the Big Ten’s “Honoring Legends. Building Leaders.” campaign links directly to the Big Ten mission.

After putting together one of the best all-around freshman seasons in school history, Hannah Werth continued to excel during the 2010 and 2011 seasons • Named an AVCA honorable-mention All-American as a junior and was also a first-team All-Big Ten selection • Honored nationally as the AVCA Sports Imports Player of the Week on Nov. 22, and was twice named the Big Ten Player of the Week • Notched 10 double-doubles in 2011 after totaling 10 double-doubles in 2010 and 13 double-doubles in 2009 • She was one of four sophomores nationally to be named an AVCA All-American and was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2010 • Has the ability to take over a match on the offensive or defensive side • Powerful player who holds the NU volleyball record for 10-yard dash (1.55 seconds) and has a 28-inch vertical leap, which ranks third all-time at NU. “A year ago Hannah blew away our performance index record,” Coach John Cook said. “She has now gone to another level with her physical strength and conditioning. We have seen a dramatic improvement in her as a volleyball player with not only being able to hit the ball harder, but having the ability to mix in shots and be able to keep the opponent’s blocking defense off. She also excelled this spring in her serve, pass and defense. I think Hannah is on a mission this year to be a great player.”

Allison McNeal is a talented middle blocker returning for the Huskers in 2012 • Will look to close her Husker career in solid fashion after missing the 2011 season with an injury • Started 17 matches in 2010, averaging 1.33 kills and 0.88 blocks per set • Possesses the tools to be an elite middle blocker with outstanding leaping ability and long arms • Combines size and athleticism that creates difficult angles for opponents • Has played behind three All-Big 12 performers at middle blocker (Kori Cooper, Brooke Delano and Amanda Gates) • Former state high jump champion in Texas who was the No. 4 recruit nationally in 2008. “Allison is one of the big unknowns because she hasn’t really played in almost two years,” Coach John Cook said. “She looks as good physically as I’ve seen her at Nebraska. She has her health problems figured out, so she has a chance to have a breakout year. She has worked really hard to put herself in that position.”

Morgan Broekhuis (pronounced Brooke-heiss) put herself in position to earn a starting spot at right side hitter as a sophomore • Produced an impressive campaign in her second year with the Huskers, earning honorablemention All-America honors and honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades • Recorded six double-doubles on the season and a career high 22 kills against Michigan • Played in all but one of Nebraska’s matches as a true freshman • Became just the sixth Husker freshman to start a season opener under Coach John Cook • Named the ESPN Rise National High School Player of the Year in 2009 after recording 465 kills and 411 assists in the team’s 6-2 offense • Graduated from high school early to enroll at Nebraska in January of 2010 • Possesses great hands and athletic ability • Gained valuable experience with the U.S. Junior National Team in 2009, as she was one of the youngest players on that squad • Ties for the tallest player in school history, matching Sarah Pavan and Lindsey Licht. “Morgan for the first half of last year was statistically a first-team All-American,” Coach John Cook said. “The challenge this year will be if Morgan can continue to be a six-rotation player and carry the load that is required by playing that opposite position, front row and back row. We believe that she is very motivated and determined to be that player and she has had a great summer with Husker Power. There are very few players in the country who are
able to do what Morgan does, being a 6-5 six-rotation player and trying to fill the role we’re asking her to do. Not many teams have someone who can do what we’re asking her to do.”

The philosophy of John Cook can be summarized in two simple words. Dream Big. When Cook took over the reins of the Nebraska volleyball program, the challenge facing him was daunting. Cook replaced one of the sport’s legendary coaches in Terry Pettit, who won 694 matches and guided the Huskers to 18 consecutive NCAA appearances and six national semifinals. Cook, who left an emerging power in Wisconsin to guide the tradition-rich Husker program, had his own vision for Nebraska volleyball. He saw a program that had even more potential to grow. His goals included consistently selling out home matches at the NU Coliseum, expanding the media exposure for his program and most importantly, continuing the tradition of athletic and academic excellence started by Pettit nearly a quarter of a century earlier. Cook saw the long-range potential of building the audience across the state. He also believed Nebraska could shine by hosting the sport’s championship in the largest setting college volleyball had ever seen. When others saw risks, Cook saw opportunities. In 2006, Cook’s dream was realized, as the Husker Nation had an opportunity to see Nebraska raise the bar in college volleyball. From record-setting, sold-out crowds at the Qwest Center Omaha, to a team that maximized its potential in winning the school’s third national title, the Huskers enjoyed a remarkable season. The Huskers entered the 2006 campaign with many questions, as they were forced to replace three AllAmericans, including AVCA National Player-of-the-Year Christina Houghtelling. With four first-year starters on the court, including freshmen at setter and middle blocker, and sky-high expectations with the NCAA Championships in Omaha for the first time, 2006 shaped up to be Cook’s toughest coaching job to date. Nebraska took on all challenges head-on, going 33-1 and becoming only the third team in NCAA history to be ranked No. 1 the entire season. The Huskers went on the road and overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Minnesota to reach the national semifinals, marking the first time that Nebraska had won a regional outside the state. That victory set the stage for a watershed moment in college volleyball. Behind sellout crowds of over 17,000, the Huskers captured the school’s third national title with victories over No. 4 UCLA and No. 2 Stanford. Four players earned AVCA All-America honors, including Sarah Pavan, who became NU’s first Honda-Broderick Cup winner. Two years later, the NCAA Championships returned to Omaha with another Husker team taking center stage. An all-time NCAA attendance record of 17,430
traveled through a winter storm to witness one of the greatest matches in Nebraska’s illustrious history. After dropping the first two sets to No. 1 Penn State, Nebraska fought back, winning the next two sets to hand the Nittany Lions their only set losses of the 2008 season. Although the Huskers were unable to complete the comeback, the performance symbolized a never-say-quit attitude that fueled the team’s success. Despite losing a pair of performers to season-ending injuries, the Huskers went 31-3 and won their fifth consecutive conference title. At the Seattle Regional, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to send the match to a fifth set and trailed 9-3 in the fifth set before regrouping and earning the school’s 11th trip to the NCAA semifinals. Jordan Larson, Tara Mueller and Sydney Anderson all earned All-America honors, while Larson was named Big 12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to sweep both honors. Consistent excellence has been a hallmark of Cook’s Nebraska squads. Over the last decade, Cook has guided the Huskers to a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances, nine Big 12 titles and the school’s first Big Ten championship. His teams have compiled a nationalbest 361-34 record, including a 207-13 mark as a member of the Big 12 Conference and a 114-56 record as members of the Big Ten Conference. Overall, Cook is 116-26 against ranked teams at NU, including a 22-11 mark against topfive teams. With Cook at the helm, Nebraska has produced numerous individual honors, including four U.S. National Team members, a Honda-Broderick Cup winner, three AVCA Division I National Players of the Year, two NCAA Top Eight Award winners, 36 AVCA All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans of the Year, 17 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, six Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. Husker studentathletes have also combined for 40 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 61 academic All-Big 12 certificates. In 2011, five Huskers earned All-Big Ten honors, and six notched academic All-Big Ten accolades. Cook’s accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed, as he is a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year, earning the prestigious honor in 2000 and 2005, and a four-time Big 12 Coach of the Year. He is one of only four active coaches - and one of six all-time - to be a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year and was honored in 2008 by USA Volleyball, receiving its All-Time Great Coach Award. During the 2011 season the Huskers made history with their first Big Ten Conference title, as they won their 32nd overall conference crown. Nebraska notched an overall record of 25-5 on the year. The team recorded its 30th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and in doing
COACHES & ADMINISTRATION so, improved its all-time tournament record to 83-27. In addition, the Huskers’ all-time AVCA All-America total reached 71 with Gina Mancuso being named a first-team honoree, while Hannah Werth, Morgan Broekhuis and Lauren Cook were tabbed honorable-mention picks. In 2010 the Huskers won their 31st overall conference title and their 12th as a member of the Big 12 Conference with an overall record of 29-3. The team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight where Brooke Delano was named a first-team honoree. Lindsey Licht and Hannah Werth were second-team picks. Werth was also tabbed the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, John Cook was named Co-Big 12 Coach of the Year and Lauren Cook was the league’s Newcomer of the Year. The Huskers have enjoyed unprecedented success over the last seven seasons, making three appearances in the NCAA semifinals. Nebraska has also reached the Elite Eight in six of the last eight seasons. During the 2009 season, Nebraska overcame a slow start to play its best volleyball down the stretch. The Huskers won 10 straight matches - all by sweep - before falling to eventual NCAA runner-up Texas in the regional final. NU finished with a 26-7 record and was ranked fifth in the final AVCA poll. Delano and Sydney Anderson earned AVCA All-America honors, while Kori Cooper repeated as a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American. In 2007, the Huskers set a pair of NCAA single-match attendance records and won the Big 12 title for the fourth consecutive year. The Huskers advanced to the NCAA regional final before a loss to Cal ended a 30-2 season, while a school-record five Huskers earned AVCA AllAmerica awards. Pavan, Houghtelling and Tracy Stalls all earned first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. The 2005 campaign was a special one for the Nebraska program. The Huskers advanced to the national title match for the fifth time in school history and finished with a 33-2 mark. Nebraska led the nation in blocking (4.12 per game) and ranked in the top 10 nationally in assists, kills and hitting percentage. Four Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Houghtelling was named AVCA National Player of the Year. Cook’s vision is for the Huskers to remain at the forefront of college volleyball to enhance the sport at both the local and national levels. Nebraska enters 2012 with an NCAA-record 164 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum - the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics. Cook has also been instrumental in helping to expand the program’s visibility throughout the state and the Midwest. Nebraska played a regular-season match in North Platte in 2004, and the team has played exhibition matches in Scottsbluff, Ogallala, Wayne, Grand Island and Norfolk over the last decade. In addition, Cook’s efforts have helped Nebraska enjoy one of the most extensive multi-media packages in the country, as every match is carried live on a state-wide radio network and nearly every

We’re trying to take risks and dream big, and fortunately I’m surrounded by a lot of people who have that vision. I’m really proud of what we’re doing to try and enhance the sport.”
Three Straight 30-Win Seasons
Cook immediately started to create his own legacy after taking over for Pettit. In his first season at the helm, Cook was named the AVCA National Coach of the Year after guiding the Huskers to a 34-0 record and the 2000 national championship. The Huskers, who became just the second team in NCAA history to cap an undefeated season with a national title, were ranked No. 1 in the AVCA/USA Today Top 25 poll for 14 straight weeks. Greichaly Cepero earned AVCA National Player-of-the-Year honors. Three Huskers claimed AVCA All-America certificates, and five Nebraska players were named to the All-Big 12 teams. Laura Pilakowski earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and a conference-best seven Huskers earned academic All-Big 12 recognition. In 2001, Cook’s second season, Nebraska fell just two wins short of capturing another NCAA title. The Huskers, who were ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the AVCA poll all season, went 20-0 in the Big 12 and Cook was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year. NU finished the season with a 31-2 record after falling to eventual national champion Stanford in the NCAA semifinals. Nebraska placed four players on the AVCA All-America teams, while right side hitter Nancy Metcalf was selected as an NCAA Top Eight Award winner and was also named the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year. Pilakowski and Cepero joined Metcalf on the CoSIDA Academic All-America teams, as Pilakowski earned second-team honors and Cepero received third-team recognition. In Cook’s third season, the Huskers continued their remarkable success. NU finished the season ranked fifth in the AVCA poll with a 31-2 record to secure its third straight 30-win season. Nebraska produced the most dominant conference season in school history, going 20-0 and losing just two sets en route to winning the league championship for the third straight year. Cepero and Amber Holmquist again earned first-team AVCA All-America honors, and Pilakowski was recognized on the second team. Pilakowski was named a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American, and Holmquist was a second-team pick. Cepero, Holmquist and Pilakowski shared Big 12 Player-of-the-Year accolades. Cook faced perhaps his greatest coaching challenge at Nebraska in 2003, when the Huskers had to replace three All-Americans and their first-ever libero. That season,

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION Cook opted to run a 6-2 (two-setter) offense to utilize as many players as possible. NU went on to finish the season with a 28-5 record and an appearance in the Sweet 16. The 2004 season may have been one of Cook’s best coaching jobs, as a youthful squad that featured five freshmen and sophomores in the lineup went 30-2 and was ranked No. 1 heading into the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers led the nation in both opponent hitting percentage (.103) and blocks per game (4.02) before falling to two-time defending NCAA champion USC in five sets in the regional final. Three Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Pavan was chosen as the AVCA National Freshman of the Year. That group of Huskers became the centerpiece of Nebraska’s consecutive NCAA Finals teams in 2005 and 2006.
Building the Badgers
Cook, who served as an assistant under Pettit for three seasons from 1988 to 1991, took over the Nebraska head coaching job after serving as associate head coach during the 1999 season. Before returning to Nebraska in 1999, Cook led Wisconsin to six straight postseason appearances in seven seasons as the Badgers’ head coach. Cook’s accomplishments at Wisconsin earned him praise as one of the game’s top young coaches. Cook built the Badgers into a top-10 program during his seven-year career in Madison, which included back-to-back trips to the NCAA regional finals in 1997 and 1998. In his final match at Wisconsin, Cook’s Badgers fell to the Huskers in a three-hour, five-set battle in the 1998 Pacific Regional Championship in the NU Coliseum. Wisconsin ended the season ranked seventh in the final USA Today/AVCA Coaches Poll with a 30-5 record. Cook compiled a 161-73 ledger at the helm of the Badgers, including an 89-51 league mark in one of the nation’s toughest conferences. He was named the Big Ten Co-Coach and AVCA District 2 Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading the Badgers to a share of the Big Ten title with a 19-1 mark and school-best 30-3 overall record. In his seven years at Wisconsin, the Badgers advanced to six straight postseason tournaments, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 1995, Wisconsin won the National Invitational Volleyball Championship with a perfect 6-0 record. During his tenure at UW, he coached four AVCA All-Americans, nine AVCA All-District award winners, 11 All-Big Ten honorees and two Big Ten Freshmen of the Year. He also coached 21 academic All-Big Ten selections.
Other Coaching Experiences
Cook also brings Olympic and championship experience to the Husker staff. As the first assistant coach with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball team, Cook aided the United States to a bronze medal in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The team’s defensive coordinator, he was also in charge of scouting and supervising the team’s flexibility, strength and conditioning programs. For his Olympic coaching experience, Cook was honored in June of 1993 at the NACDA/USOC Collegiate Coaches Recognition Awards Luncheon. He also served as the head coach of the Women’s National Volleyball Training Team in 2004. During his first tenure at Nebraska (1989-91), the Huskers advanced to the NCAA semifinals two of the three seasons, including a runner-up finish in 1989. Nebraska went 36-0 in conference play, capturing three Big Eight Conference titles. During that time, he served as Pettit’s recruiting coordinator, chief scout and strength and conditioning coordinator. Cook was also the liaison with the academic advising center. In the U.S. Olympic Festival competition, Cook served as head coach of the bronze medal-winning North team in 1989 and was also an assistant coach with the third-place West team in 1987. A co-founder of the San Diego Volleyball Club, Cook served as a coach with the club from 1986 to 1988. The club won two Southern California Regional Championships and finished among the final four teams twice in the USVBA Junior Olympics for girls 18 and under. Cook also served as the head assistant coach at the University of California-San Diego from 1983 to 1984, where he aided the Tritons to an NCAA Division III national championship in 1984 and a second-place national finish in 1983. Cook’s coaching credentials also include leading Francis Parker High School in San Diego to two California state championships. During his six-year coaching stint from 1981 to 1988, he had an overall record of 162-18, including a 90-match winning streak. A well-known speaker on volleyball skills, Cook travels around the nation participating in clinics. During his stay at Wisconsin, he served as the host of the Badger Coaching Symposium every spring. A graduate of the University of San Diego, Cook earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 1979. He completed his master’s degree in teaching and coaching effectiveness from San Diego State in 1991.

What is your coaching philosophy? There are four things that come to mind. No. 1, I see myself as a teacher. It was always my dream to be a teacher, and coaching is teaching. No. 2, next to my family and my faith, the people involved with Nebraska volleyball are the most important thing in my life. Third we like to recruit great athletes and are flexible enough to create a system that takes advantage of the strengths of the players in our program, so our players can reach their full potential. How can we make each athlete the best volleyball player they can be? That’s the question we try to answer. Finally, our players are committed to academic excellence and becoming complete studentathletes. What do you enjoy most about coaching at Nebraska? There are two things that make coaching at Nebraska so special. First, it is the passion of the people across the state for our team. There is a love affair between our players and the fans across the state. Second, is that our players are great young women who work hard, make great choices and are excellent students. In 2006, we won an NCAA title, as well as the Life Skills Award for the athletic department. We have a group of people who are committed to giving back to the community and understand that there is more to college life than volleyball. When you are recruiting a potential student-athlete, what are Nebraska’s biggest selling points? I think the best thing for a recruit to do is see our team play. We play at a high level, but what may be most important, is how we play. It’s a very exciting brand of volleyball based on great athletes moving very quickly and transitioning very fast. We’ve always had a reputation of taking great athletes and training them to become exceptional volleyball players. We have a great academic tradition with our academic support staff, the Hewit Center and our Student Life Complex. We lead the nation in academic All-America honors, NCAA Top Eight Award winners and the majority of our players go on to graduate school following their playing careers. I think another important factor is the exposure our program receives. Our goal is to be on the cutting edge. We are the only program in the country that has its own volleyball radio network, a state-wide weekly television program and nearly every match shown live on the Internet. This gives us opportunities to connect with our fans, and has played a major role in our sellout streak. Our school’s rich volleyball tradition over the years also plays an important role in recruiting. In many cases, people know they were meant to be here.
What do you look for in a recruit? Academically we have a tradition of great studentathletes. Because the program’s emphasis is on being accountable, the program attracts people who have already been successful in the classroom. But we’ve also taken some people who were merely good students and helped them become great students. In addition to looking for great student-athletes, the players we attract to Nebraska are ones who not only have the athletic ability to be successful, but also are highly competitive. They don’t shy away from challenges, whether it is in practices or in matches because they know it will allow them to reach their full potential as a player. We are also in a unique situation at Nebraska where our student-athletes have a platform to make a difference in people’s lives. We look for people who are going to embrace that opportunity and give back to the community. Talk about your program’s emphasis on developing players for their post-collegiate careers? At Nebraska, we believe that the program we put in place gives our players a chance to play beyond their college career. When I was with the men’s national team for the 1992 Olympics, I got an understanding of what it takes to be the best in the world. We’ve tried to implement that at Nebraska and call it Training the Whole Athlete. It just doesn’t mean we are going to make them a great volleyball player. Obviously, we are going to do that and our program’s success reflects that. We are going to train them mentally on how to compete at the highest level and continue on if they elect to do so. It is also about getting them to understand the self-discipline it takes to work in the weight room, understanding their bodies and knowing how to take care of them in areas such as flexibility, recovery and nutrition. Our mission in this program is two-fold. One is prepare them if they want to have a professional career. Second, many of our former players are going into coaching, and they are leaving Nebraska armed with lots of information. If they can go into coaching, they have the ability to make a tremendous impact on the lives of other people with that information. It is a two-fold mission, and we feel that our program has a great understanding and implements it as well as anyone in the country in a college setting. What do you hope student-athletes take from their years with the Nebraska volleyball program? First, we hope they have the opportunity to play professionally. We’ve had countless former players play around the world and that is a testament to their hard work in reaching their playing potential. Another way we

measure that is by how many of them go into coaching after they graduate. Over 50 percent of our former players are in the coaching ranks, whether it is at the college, high school or club level. The second thing we want them to understand is the importance of giving back. At Nebraska, our players are viewed by the public and kids in the state with almost a rock star status. What we hope they learned at Nebraska is to use that platform to create a positive message and take that lesson throughout their lives. How important is the NU Coliseum to Husker volleyball? I have coached at Nebraska in some capacity for nearly 15 years, and time and time again, I’ve seen the Coliseum will the Huskers to wins in close matches. I don’t know if it’s the ghosts or spirits of the building, or maybe just the intense energy of the fans, but playing in the Coliseum has become pivotal to our success. It’s exciting for the players to know that no matter who the opponent is, the Huskers will play in front of a sold-out crowd. We annually rank among the national attendance leaders and have 164 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum. Our fans give us an unmatched home court advantage.

Meske also served as the team’s graduate manager in 2007 and 2008. Meske is in charge of the Huskers’ video scouting, team managers and is involved with camps. On the court, he trains NU’s outside hitters and liberos. During his first five seasons at Nebraska, Meske has helped the Huskers to a 141-20 record, three Big 12 titles, a Big Ten championship and an appearance in the 2008 NCAA semifinals. During the 2011 season the Huskers made history with their first Big Ten Conference title, as they won their 32nd overall conference crown. The Huskers recorded an overall record of 25-5 on the year. The team notched its 30th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and in doing so, improved its all-time tournament record to 83-27. In addition, the Huskers’ all-time AVCA All-America total reached 71 with Gina Mancuso being named a first-team honoree, while Hannah Werth, Morgan Broekhuis and Lauren Cook were tabbed honorable-mention picks.

In 2010 the Huskers won their 31st overall conference title and their 12th as a member of the Big 12 Conference with an overall record of 29-3. Nebraska’s NCAA Tournament run was aided by Meske’s assistance in developing right side hitter Lindsey Licht, who earned second-team AVCA All-America accolades as a senior in 2010. She led the team in kills with 2.81 per set and was second in blocks with a career-best 1.05 per set. During the 2009 season, Nebraska overcame a slow start to play its best volleyball down the stretch. The Huskers won 10 straight matches - all by sweep - before falling to eventual national runner-up Texas in the regional final. NU finished with a 26-7 record and was ranked fifth in the final AVCA poll. Following the season at the annual AVCA Convention, Meske earned the association’s inaugural AVCA Coaches 4 Coaches Scholarship Award. Before his two-year stint as a volunteer coach, Meske

Ohio State won 88 matches and a pair of Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association titles during his four-year career. He was a three-time academic All-Big Ten selection and four-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete during his collegiate career. Meske enjoyed his best campaign in 2007, helping the Buckeyes to a 23-4 record and a regular-season MIVA title. A starter at opposite, he ranked second on the squad in both kills (3.04) and digs (1.39) per set to earn secondteam MIVA honors. He was named the Buckeye Power Club Award winner as the team’s lifter of the year and was selected as the team’s most-improved player. For the first three seasons at Ohio State, he served as the team’s libero and defensive specialist, starting all 30 matches at libero in his first college season. He led the Buckeyes in both digs (198) and digs per set (2.04) in 2004. After graduating from Ohio State, Meske spent a season playing professionally in Indonesia, helping BNI Taplus Volleyball to a regular-season title and a national runner-up finish in 2008.

40 | 2012 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past four seasons. With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program as a whole, Osborne has made historic decisions to help the University of Nebraska athletic programs for years to come. In June of 2010, Osborne joined Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany to announce the Huskers would join the Big Ten beginning on July 1, 2011. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten will continue to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come. Just a few months later, Osborne announced an aggressive expansion plan for the east side of Memorial Stadium that will increase attendance past 90,000 for the first time, while continuing Nebraska’s NCAA record-setting sellout streak. The expansion, which is set for completion before the 2013 football season, will include athletic and academic research components. In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14. The basketball programs, the wrestling program and many of NU’s other sports also have benefitted from the new Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The facility, which opened in October of 2011, includes practice and team areas, and greatly expanded athletic medicine and strength training areas. The Nebraska baseball and softball programs also received a new indoor practice facility that opened in the fall of 2001 at Haymarket Park. The first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s facilities began in the summer of 2010, as the Huskers broke ground on the Student Life Complex on the west side of Memorial Stadium. The Student Life Complex, which opened in the fall of 2010, directly benefits every Husker student-athlete with expanded academic resources. While Osborne has helped initiate landmark moves off the field, he has continued to help coaches and student-athletes focus on Nebraska’s tradition of competitive success. In 2011-12, 10 Husker teams finished among the top 25 in the nation, including the Nebraska football team’s New Year’s Day appearance in the Capital One Bowl. One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign as NU’s defensive coordinator, has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with four consecutive nine-win seasons. Pelini’s Huskers have finished among the Associated Press top 25 in each of the last three seasons. The football program also contributed three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to Nebraska’s nation-leading total of 299 all-time, across all sports. Coach Mark Manning’s Husker wrestling program added a pair of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. On the mat, NU tied for 21st at the NCAA Championships despite entering the season in what appeared to be a rebuilding year. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program captured the Huskers’ first-ever Big Ten Conference title in any sport in 2011, finishing No. 12 nationally while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Coach John Cook’s squad has claimed four conference crowns since Osborne’s return to Nebraska. The Husker women’s gymnastics team led by Coach Dan Kendig added its first Big Ten championship, while finishing eighth nationally in 2012 for its third straight top 10 finish. The Nebraska women’s indoor track and field team contributed another Big Ten title. Coach Gary Pepin’s men added a tie for 11th at the NCAA Championships during the outdoor season for its best team finish since 2003, after tying for 23rd at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The NU men’s and women’s track and field teams have combined for four conference crowns, while producing eight top-20 finishes over the past five years. The NU women’s basketball team produced one of its best seasons in school history by rolling to a 24-9 record that included a run to the Big Ten Tournament championship game. Coach Connie Yori’s Huskers finished No. 17 in the final AP poll and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time since Osborne’s return to Nebraska. The 2010 Huskers ran to the best season in school history with a Big 12 title and an NCAA Sweet 16 berth in 2010.
Coach Scott Jacobson led the Nebraska women’s tennis team to the best season in school history in 2012, posting a schoolrecord 24 wins and No. 16 final ranking. The Huskers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the third straight season the team has advanced to the postseason. The Husker men’s tennis program added its first two NCAA appearances in school history in 2010 and 2011. Coach Bill Straub’s bowling team added a third-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships, marking the program’s fifth straight top-eight showing. The Husker bowlers claimed the 2009 NCAA title. The Husker softball team made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2009 to 2011, while the Husker women’s golf and baseball programs both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008. Osborne made his second coaching hire since his return to Nebraska, when he named two-time Major League All-Star, three-time Gold Glove award winner, and former No. 1 MLB Draft pick Darin Erstad as the baseball team’s new coach on June 2, 2011. Erstad was not only one of the best Husker baseball players in history, he was the starting punter on NU’s 1994 national championship football team coached by Osborne. The baseball program responded by posting a 35-23 record in his first season. It marked a five-game improvement in the win column over 2011. Osborne made another high-profile hire with the addition of men’s basketball coach Tim Miles on March 24, 2012. Osborne also hired former Husker Stacy Underwood as NU’s fourth rifle coach on May 24, 2012. Academically, Nebraska produced eight CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans in 2011-12, increasing its nation-leading total to 299 all-time, across all sports. NU also graduated a school-record 155 student-athletes from August of 2011 through May of 2012. Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to schoolaged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season. In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998. Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons. Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION
COMPLIANCE INFORMATION/GUIDELINES FOR FANS The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.
NCAA Principles
Institutional Control
It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.
Responsibility
The University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.
Compliance
The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.
Question and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests Definitions
Q: What is a booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What is a Prospective Student-Athlete? A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: What is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is a contact? A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Q: What is recruiting? A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.
Guidelines
Q: What is a Booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13
44 | 2012 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster? A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at UNL must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage UNL attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect’s educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend UNL; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend UNL; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the UNL campus for an official or unofficial visit. RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan. EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12 Q: What are non-permissible benefits? A: Free or reduced-fee housing/rent including the use of vacation or seasonal homes; free or reduced-fee meals; loans or cash advances in pay or salary; tuition costs or school supply expenses; gifts or presents of any type regardless of the occasion or purpose; use of telephone for long distance or use of telephone cards and cell phones; free use of any motor vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle; free use of services (i.e., automobile repair, hair care, laundry, copying, faxing, etc.); free or reduced-fee memberships at golf courses, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.) BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16 Q: What type of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate? A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event. Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible? A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, NCAA BYLAW 12 For further information regarding NCAA Guidelines for Athletic Representatives, please contact the athletic compliance office at (402) 472-2042 or 1-(800) 927-7220. Inquiries may also be mailed to: Athletic Compliance Office, One Memorial Stadium, P.O. Box 880219, Lincoln, NE, 68588-0219. Questions can also be faxed to (402) 472-4609 or e-mailed to compliance@huskers.com. Notice of NCAA Probation From 2007 to 2010 the University of Nebraska unintentionally reimbursed studentathletes for recommended textbooks as well as required textbooks through a failure to properly administer and monitor book scholarships. Only reimbursement for required books is permissible under NCAA rules. As a result the NCAA placed the University of Nebraska on two-year probation, beginning in January 2012. The NCAA did not impose additional penalties such as the loss of scholarships, forfeiture of games or a ban on postseason play. Rather, as a condition of probation we will continue to educate studentathletes and staff thoroughly on NCAA bylaws and will notify prospective student-athletes of our probationary status.
SEASON IN REVIEW
2011 REVIEW
45 | 2012 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
SEASON IN REVIEW
HUSKERS CAPTURE FIRST BIG TEN TITLE IN 2011 The 2012 season was a historical one for the Nebraska volleyball program. As the Huskers opened their inaugural season in the tradition-rich Big Ten Conference, they came away with the school’s first Big Ten Championship. The squad entered the season returning two-time All-American middle blocker Brooke Delano, 2010 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Hannah Werth and 2010 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Lauren Cook. The No. 10 Huskers introduction to the Big Ten conference came as NU welcomed No. 5 Penn State to the NU Coliseum for their inaugural Big Ten match on Sept. 21. In front of a sellout crowd and nationally-televised audience, the Huskers took the first two sets from the Nittany Lions, as Penn State could not overcome a dramatic effort by NU to win its first Big Ten match as a member of the conference. Prior to the victory, the last time the Huskers beat a top-five team came in 2010 when NU topped then-No. 3 Illinois in five sets at the Devaney Center “Welcome to the Big Ten,” Head Coach John Cook said after the match. “That’s what it’s going to be like every night, I think. This was a great match for both teams. I know Penn State-we almost had them in three there, and they didn’t quit. I thought we played almost perfect in game five. We executed exactly like we’d been trying to do in games three and four. You never know what your team’s got until you see them in that situation. Our fans and Husker Nation, our team’s got to be really pleased with how they responded.” The win propelled the Huskers in the rankings as NU turned its attention to a showdown with then-No. 1 Illinois at the NU Coliseum on Oct. 22 as the No. 4 Huskers overcame the Fighting Illini 3-1 (24-26, 25-18, 25-19, 25-11). The last time a Husker team beat the No. 1 team in the country was on Sept. 6, 1980 when the No. 3 Huskers took down No. 1 UCLA in a 3-2 win. With the victory, the Huskers reached the halfway mark of Big Ten play at 10-0 as the only unbeaten team in conference play with six wins over top 25 league foes. Broekhuis led Nebraska on the night with 17 kills and a career-high-tying 11 digs for the fourth double-double of her career. The Huskers clinched the Big Ten title on Nov. 22 in Iowa City, Iowa, as NU swept the Hawkeyes 3-0. With the win, Nebraska secured the first Big Ten Conference title in school history, giving the Nebraska Volleyball team 32 conference crowns overall. NU’s road to the Big Ten title started with the emotional win over Penn State, as that propelled the Huskers to a 3-1 victory over Ohio State at home the following Saturday. Nebraska honored a true Husker legend during the match as Nancy Metcalf’s jersey was retired. She became just the seventh Husker volleyball player to have her jersey retired at the Coliseum. The Huskers took their momentum on the road for their first conference tests away from the Coliseum. Michigan State gave NU all it could handle, but the Huskers mustered up a comeback effort to take down the Spartans 3-2. Broekhuis led NU on the night with 22 kills on 33 attacks for a .545 hitting percentage. Nebraska did not look back, as the Huskers traveled to face Michigan the following day, and rolled to a 3-0 victory. Nebraska returned home as the sixth-ranked team in the country ready to take on No. 11 Purdue. The Huskers
46 | 2012 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
produced one of their most balanced efforts of the season, with five players notching more than 20 attacks for the match. NU followed that performance with a 3-0 sweep of Indiana the following day. With an 11-match win streak, Nebraska traveled to Madison, Wis., for a showdown with the Badgers. The Huskers swept Wisconsin and remained one of two unbeaten teams in conference play. NU then traveled to Minneapolis, for a showdown with Minnesota the next day. The Huskers dropped the first two sets, before coming back to take the final three behind 18 kills and 46 attacks from Mancuso. Nebraska totaled 85 team digs in the match. The Huskers then returned home to beat Iowa 3-0 on Oct. 19 before hosting No. 1 Illinois. Nebraska fell to Penn State on Oct. 29, taking only one set from the Nittany Lions and dropping the other three. NU then rebounded with a 3-1 win over Michigan at the Coliseum as the Huskers were led by a rock solid performance from Brigette Root in her first career start at setter. Root notched the first double-double of her career with 25 assists and 11 digs. The Huskers then swept Michigan State the following night. Nebraska pushed past Indiana on the road, before facing a tough Purdue squad in West Lafayette, Ind., as the Boilermakers avenged their earlier loss to the Huskers. Nebraska closed its regular season home schedule with wins over Minnesota and Wisconsin as the Huskers celebrated seniors Brigette Root, Brooke Delano and Jordan Wilberger. Nebraska’s run at its first Big Ten Title started in Albuquerque, N.M., at the MCM Elegante Lobo Classic with a pair of matches against New Mexico State and New Mexico. NU opened its 2011 slate with a dramatic 3-2 win over the Aggies. Lara Dykstra produced a stellar performance for her first match as a Husker, recording 28 digs on the match, the ninth most in a single match in Nebraska school history. The Huskers moved on to top New Mexico 3-0 the following night as Gina Mancuso and Lauren Cook both earned spots on the MCM Elegante AllTournament Team, while Morgan Broekhuis was named the team’s MVP. The Huskers hit the road the following weekend to take on Colorado State and Albany in Fort Collins, Colo. The Huskers came out firing against the Rams, winning sets one and two
25-12 and 25-11, but NU could not withstand the comeback effort from Colorado State, dropping the final three sets 1625, 20-25, 9-15. Nebraska rebounded with a decisive threeset win over Albany the following day. The Huskers held Albany to 12, 13 and 12 points in each set and an overall hitting percentage of .038, while Hannah Werth led the team with 12 kills on a .417 hitting percentage. The Huskers returned home to host their annual Ameritas Players Challenge as Creighton, Saint Mary’s and Weber State made the trek to Lincoln. The Huskers and Bluejays kicked off the tournament on Thursday night, celebrating a record 150th consecutive sellout at the NU Coliseum. Mancuso notched the second double-double of her career with 12 kills and 10 digs, as the Huskers swept Creighton. Nebraska met Saint Mary’s the following night, posting its second win of the 2011 Ameritas Players Challenge in a match that kept the 4,097 in attendance on the edge of their seats. Broekhuis lead the way with 17 kills and NU went on to beat the Gaels 3-2. The Huskers closed the 2011 Ameritas Players Challenge with a 3-0 win over Weber State. After the match, Broekhuis and Mancuso were named to the Ameritas Player’s Challenge All-Tournament Team, while Lauren Cook was named the team’s MVP. Nebraska completed its nonconference portion of the season with a match against No. 12 Iowa State at the Devaney Center. NU swept the Cyclones, as the teams faced each other for the first time as non-conference foes. With one goal down, Nebraska turned its attention toward the NCAA Tournament. Making their 30th consecutive appearance, the Huskers earned the tournament’s No. 2 overall seed and hosted the first two rounds of the tournament at the NU Coliseum for the 27th time in program history. Nebraska opened the postseason with a sweep of Jackson State, moving on to play Kansas State in the second round. The Huskers’ goal of another national title ended at the NU Coliseum on Friday, Dec. 2, as the unseeded Wildcats upset the Huskers 3-2. The Huskers ended the year with a 25-5 overall record, a 17-3 record in conference play and a No. 12 national ranking in the final AVCA Coaches Poll. NU’s nation-leading All-America total grew to 71, as Mancuso was named a First-Team AVCA All-American.

HISTORY
NU VOLLEYBALL: A CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION
Nebraska’s club volleyball program in the early 1970s set the foundation for the Huskers’ early successes.
by Mike Babcock A bulletin advertising an opening for the head volleyball coach’s job at Nebraska had been discarded in a wastebasket in the coaches’ office at Louisburg College. Paul Sanderford, the first-year head coach of the women’s basketball team at the North Carolina junior college, retrieved the bulletin from the wastebasket and handed it to Terry Pettit, the school’s head volleyball coach. Without that assist from Sanderford, Pettit, an aspiring English teacher with a background in creative writing and poetry as well as coaching, would not have known about the opening. If he had not known about the opening, he would not have applied. And if he had not applied and been hired, the history of Husker volleyball would have been altered dramatically, because he and Husker volleyball became one and the same. Pettit was the Nebraska volleyball coach from 1977 to 1999 – all but two years of the program’s first 25 years of existence. Pat Sullivan, the Huskers’ first volleyball coach, compiled an 83-21 record in two seasons of competition sanctioned by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Before 1975, Nebraska didn’t sponsor women’s athletic teams. If women wanted to compete, they did so on loosely organized and unfunded club teams. It had been that way since the early 1900s, when a women’s basketball team occasionally competed against teams from outside the University. Basketball was introduced in the university’s physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896, and as was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other. Nebraska’s first All-University women’s team was organized in 1896 and included the best players regardless of class, according to the Nebraska State Journal. The team never lost, which should not be surprising, given how it was chosen and the quality of its intramural competition. The first women’s basketball game played before an audience was part of the University’s sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke’s “Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,” published in Nebraska History in the spring of 1975. Louise Pound seems to have been the driving force in women’s basketball at Nebraska, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was captain of the first team to play against an opponent from outside the University in March of 1898. Pound, who also was the first

All-University tennis champion, scored 11 points in a 15-7 victory against a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa. In April of 1901, the university sponsored a women’s state tournament under Pound’s direction at Grant Memorial Hall. Nebraska was represented by an A team and a B team in a field that included teams from the Omaha YWCA, Lincoln High School and Wahoo High School. Nebraska’s A team won the two-day competition and a month later won a rematch with the Omaha YWCA in Omaha. In November of 1901, Nebraska played a team from the University of Missouri at Grant Hall, “the first intercollegiate match for girls ever played in the west,” according to the Nebraska State Journal. Missouri was no match for its more experienced — and to that point undefeated — opponent, losing 31-4. The Nebraska women did not suffer their first defeat until 1904, when they lost to a team from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis after opening an abbreviated schedule by shutting out a team from the Lincoln YWCA. The Nebraska women avenged the Minnesota loss two weeks later in Lincoln. The Nebraska women played games against the University of Minnesota, home-and-home two weeks apart, again in March of 1908, losing both, the second after a five-minute overtime.
Before the Minnesota games, Nebraska had defeated Nebraska Wesleyan to finish what was to be its final season with a 1-2 record against outside competition. University women were not allowed to compete in basketball, as well as other sports, only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908. In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the University board of regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. If not for the passing of Title IX by Congress in 1972, there probably would not be women’s intercollegiate athletics now. Initially, “there wasn’t an embracing of women’s athletics,” Pettit said. “It’s like any civil rights movement almost. It’s tolerated, and you have to educate the public as to what it means. Today if you asked on a ballot if women should have the opportunity to compete in sports, there would be an overwhelming majority of people who would support it. But that wasn’t the case in the 1970s. “One of the things that allowed Nebraska to be successful was that we jumped in with both feet,” Pettit said. “Nebraska decided: ‘Well, if we’re going to do this, let’s do it well.’ Whereas some schools were hesitant to get going, Nebraska was one of the first to offer scholarships. In any endeavor, if you’re among the first, that gives you a tremendous advantage, and you continue to reap the benefits years later.” Under Pettit’s direction, volleyball became to Husker women’s athletics what football is to the Nebraska men’s program. Pettit’s teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament semifinals six times, and his 1995 team won the national championship, defeating Texas in the finals at Amherst, Mass. The 1995 Huskers finished 32-1, with their only loss coming against Stanford in the second match of the season. Senior Allison Weston was the AVCA Co-Player of the Year and among three first-team All-Americans from Nebraska. The others were Christy Johnson and Lisa Reitsma. Weston, a middle blocker, earned first-team AllAmerica honors three times, the first Husker to do so. But Nebraska consistently has been represented on All-America teams since 1980, when Terri Kanouse became the Huskers’ first volleyball All-American, as selected by the AIAW. Three Huskers have earned All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association in the same
The first Husker volleyball team, coached by Pat Sullivan (far right, back row), set the tone for future teams, compiling a 34-8 record and advancing to the AIAW regional finals in 1975.

season 16 times since 1984, most recently in 2011, when Gina Mancuso captured All-America honors. After the 1999 season, Pettit turned the program over to his long-time friend and former NU assistant coach, John Cook. Cook arrived at Nebraska with impressive credentials after building the Wisconsin volleyball program into a national power, and he wasted no time making his mark at NU. In what was supposed to be a transition year, Cook led the Huskers to a perfect 34-0 record and the 2000 NCAA title. The following season, Cook again guided the Huskers to the NCAA semifinals, where they lost to eventual national champion Stanford. After two regional finals and a regional semifinal, the Huskers returned to the national title match in 2005 and won the school’s third NCAA title in 2006, defeating Stanford, 3-1, in front of a then-NCAA record crowd of 17,209 at the Qwest Center. In 11 years, Cook has guided Nebraska to a 336-29 record, a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances and nine Big 12 championships. During the Big 12 era, Cook’s teams were an amazing 207-13. The tradition that Cook continues to build began in 1978, when Kanouse and Shandi Pettine were the first Nebraska volleyball players to be recruited with full scholarships. By 1981, Pettit could award 12 scholarships. “We had a full complement,” he said. “And that put us ahead of some schools.” Those first Nebraska teams included primarily in-state athletes. But Kanouse was from Indiana and Pettine was from Colorado, evidence not only of Pettit’s interest in expanding the Huskers’ recruiting base, but also of the respect his program was earning beyond the state’s borders. Fiona Nepo, one of only 12 setters in NCAA history to earn All-America certificates three times came from Honolulu, Hawaii. Karen Dahlgren, an All-American in 1985 and 1986, and Lynae Loseke, whose career was cut short by a knee injury, walked on, another element of the volleyball program’s consistent success shared by the football program. “We don’t have 50 walk-ons, but if we can get one good one a year, it pays off,” Pettit said. The 1981 and 1982 recruits, which included Cathy Noth (from Iowa) and Mary Buysse (from Minnesota), gave the Huskers “two really good classes in a row,” Pettit said. And, except for Dahlgren, who redshirted, they helped get Nebraska into the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The Huskers had qualified for the AIAW National Tournament in 1978 at Tuscaloosa, Ala., but “there was no
excitement because nobody here got to see the matches,” Pettit said. That changed in 1982, when Nebraska defeated a Penn State team coached by Russ Rose (Pettit’s assistant in 1978 and 1979) in the NCAA Tournament’s first round before a large and enthusiastic crowd at the NU Coliseum. “That was a dramatic step for the program,” Pettit said. “It was the first time we really had an opportunity to market something. I don’t think anything changes the perception of an athletic program like hosting an NCAA event. From then on, we were always playing, always hosting.” The Huskers have qualified for 30 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, which “may be our biggest achievement is the consistency. We’re always very competitive,” Pettit said. Nebraska reached the NCAA finals for the first time in 1986, Dahlgren’s senior season, defeating Stanford in the semifinals but losing to Pacific on its home court in Stockton, Calif. Three seasons later, the persistent Huskers were back in the NCAA title match, losing to Long Beach State (after defeating top-ranked UCLA) at Honolulu, Hawaii. Pettit realized then that his program had progressed to a point where winning the national championship was a realistic goal. Several other factors contributed to the success of the Nebraska volleyball program, including the Coliseum, which was refurbished and reconfigured specifically as a volleyball facility in 1992.
The intimacy of the Coliseum is a significant factor in fan support, which has kept Nebraska among the nation’s leaders in attendance, annually ranking in the top three nationally, including second in 2011. Nebraska has sold out its last 164 straight matches at the 4,030-seat Coliseum, dating back to 2001. In addition, the Huskers annually play a match at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska set an NCAA regularseason attendance record on Sept. 11, 2009, as a sellout crowd of 13,870 watched the Huskers take on UCLA. Nebraska’s fans have consistently shattered volleyball attendance records. In 2008, Nebraska drew an NCAA record crowd of 17,430 for the NCAA semifinals at the Qwest Center. The four largest crowds at the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship have been set in Omaha. While the Huskers have played in several venues across the state, the Coliseum is Nebraska’s home. “I believe it is a major reason for interest. People like the building. They like watching events here,” Pettit said. “It’s an intimate facility. It’s a collegiate facility. You walk into the big fieldhouses, and you could be anywhere in the country.” Fans also know what to expect from the Husker teams that play there. “They know what type of effort they’re going to see,” Pettit said. “The fans are only 10 or 15 feet removed from the playing court, so they can tell whether or not there’s enthusiasm, whether or not people (the athletes) are communicating. That’s what they really come to see. It certainly helps that Nebraska wins. The winning gets you there the first time. But you can’t have a great enterprise, whether it be a business or an athletic team, unless you have an identity. “People have that feeling about Nebraska volleyball. They know exactly what it is. They know what type of athlete is on the court. They know the style of play. They know the effort. They know the consistency. They know that she’s a good student. And they know that she’s a solid citizen when she goes on to her career after volleyball.” The attraction wasn’t immediate. Though the program has been successful from the beginning, it experienced some lean times as far as interest and support. “It’s been a slow, consistent growth,” Pettit said. “I think that fits Nebraskans. They aren’t real impressed with flash or something that just happens in the short term. What they want to see is progress over the long run. ‘Show me that you’ll continue to get the job done.’ If you do that, then they’ll ride with you even when things aren’t so good.”
The Huskers celebrate match point against Wisconsin to win the 2000 NCAA title. Nebraska went 34-0 to earn its second national title.

A Magical Season
Nebraska enjoyed a storybook season in 2006, putting together a 33-1 record en route to the school’s third national title. Despite the loss of AVCA National Player of the Year Christina Houghtelling before the start of preseason practice and a lineup that featured three new starters, the Huskers won their first 23 matches, including 18 sweeps, before suffering their only loss of the year. The Huskers rebounded by losing just one game over the next seven matches before running into their toughest test of the postseason. One game away from the national semifinals in Omaha, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to topple Minnesota and win a regional for the first time outside the state in school history. That win set the stage for one of the biggest volleyball events in history, as the Huskers played for a chance at a national title in front of sold-out crowds of 17,000-plus at the Qwest Center in Omaha.
Semifinals
Nebraska used a career night from Tracy Stalls to advance to the finals with a 3-1 victory over fourth-ranked UCLA. Stalls totaled a career-high 17 kills on .577 hitting, out-shining UCLA All-American Nana Meriwether, who was held to 12 kills and a season-low .190 hitting. The Huskers dropped the opener and trailed 28-26 before a Pavan kill pulled NU within a point. Stalls then closed out the game with three straight points from the service line, tying the match at one. Nebraska took control of the third game behind the strong serving of Pavan, who ran off nine straight points at the service line including three aces that turned a 13-all game into a 23-13 cushion. Stalls had seven kills in each of the final two games. While Pavan finished with a match-high 22 kills, the Husker defense held UCLA in check behind 29 digs from Dani Busboom and 25 from Jordan Larson, as both enjoyed career bests in digs against the Bruins.
Larson’s 19th kill of the night closed out the match after the Cardinal pulled within 29-27. NU had four players total at least 10 kills, as Mancuso finished a dream season with 12 kills in her hometown.
Highlighting the 2006 Season
• The Huskers led the country in both kills (17.40) and assists (16.20) per game, the first time Nebraska had led the country in either category. • Nebraska set school records for kills per game, assists per game and block assists (823). • Nebraska became the third team in NCAA history to lead the AVCA poll the entire season, joining UCLA (1992) and USC (2003), and the first team to win a national title while hosting since UCLA in 1991. • Sarah Pavan became the first Husker athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup - symbolic of the top female athlete in college athletics. Pavan also became the first Big 12 studentathlete to win the award since the league’s inception in 1996.
Quoting Coach John Cook
“This team maxed out to their abilities. They really never wavered the entire year, and they embraced it if they did. To win this here in Nebraska, with this group of people and overcoming the obstacles to get here and dealing with this pressure, it has to be No. 1. ” – Cook following the national title match
Final
The Huskers followed a similar script as the semifinals, dropping the opening game before regrouping. Trailing 24-23 in game two, the Huskers seized the momentum with three straight points, highlighted by a Dani Mancuso kill that gave NU a 25-24 lead. In game three, another unlikely hero emerged to spark a Husker comeback. Trailing 23-19, Amanda Gates came off the bench and sparked NU with two big blocks, the second of which put the Huskers up 29-28. In the finale, the Huskers rode the arm of Sarah Pavan, who had six of her match-high 22 kills, before Jordan
Middle blocker Tracy Stalls had a career-high 17 kills on .577 hitting and four blocks in NU’s NCAA semifinal win over UCLA.

A Second Time
After a two-year hiatus, Nebraska seniors Virginia Stahr and Carla Baker led NU to its second appearance at the NCAA Championships. In 1986, the Huskers had advanced to the championship match before losing to Pacific. In 1989, NU was hoping for better luck in Honolulu, Hawaii. But fate was not on Nebraska’s side. The Husker hitters made quick work of UCLA, before losing, 3-0, to Long Beach State.
NCAA Championships
A balanced Husker attack and solid
defensive play propelled Nebraska past a UCLA team that had lost just two matches all season. Cris Hall led NU with 19 kills, while Janet Kruse had 12, Eileen Shannon had 11 and Virginia Stahr added 10. NU out-hit UCLA .265 to .160. Unfortunately, Nebraska’s second championship match was much like its first in 1986. Nebraska battled hard in the first game, only to lose 15-12. From that point on, the Huskers could not regain their winning ways, as Long Beach State cruised, 15-0, 15-6 to win the match. Shannon led Nebraska with 11 kills, and Hall added 10.

• Virginia Stahr captured several awards in 1989 including Delta Scholar Athlete of the Year, Woody Hayes Female Athlete of the Year, Big Eight Female Athlete of the Year and the NCAA Today’s Top Six Award. • Nebraska set team records in 1989 with 2,031 kills, 1,803 assists and a 17.07 kills per game average. • Nebraska won its 14th consecutive Big Eight title with a perfect 12-0 record. • The Huskers started the year with a season-high 14-match winning streak.

NCAA Championships
In the semifinals, Schonewise led the
Husker attack with 15 kills, while Angie Millikin had 11 kills and a match-high 18 digs. Nebraska hit .258 for the match and held the Cardinal to just .089 hitting. In the championship match, Nebraska met a Pacific team that had lost just one game during the entire NCAA Tournament. The Huskers hung tough in game one, coming back from a 14-9 deficit to cut the margin to two at 14-12. But the Tigers were too much, as they converted their third game point for the 15-12 win. The first game took too much out of the Huskers, as they fell in games two and three by scores of 15-4, 15-4.
1986 Season Highlights
• Nebraska set four single-season team records, including most kills, attacks, hitting percentage and digs. Schonewise set individual season records for kills, kills per game and attacks. • The Huskers set an NCAA record with a .331 hitting percentage, a mark that still ranks in the top 15 all time. • Nebraska won its 11th straight Big Eight championship in 1986 with a 10-0 record and defeated Oklahoma, 3-0, for the tournament trophy in Salina, Kan.

Four players have been named national player of the year, while Sarah Pavan became the first Nebraska student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup in 2007, symbolizing the top female student-athlete in the country. If there is one image symbolic of the Nebraska volleyball program, it is the statue of “The Players,” which is at the main entrance of the NU Coliseum. AVCA Hall of Fame Coach Terry Pettit said it best when the statue was unveiled in 1992. “I believe that as you enter the Coliseum for the first time and look upon the three players - each intense, focused and committed to the task - it will occur to you, as it occurs to me, that something important happens here. Something beyond individual honors or accomplishments. Something more important than the individuals themselves. This statue says, ‘This is where women come to compete.’”

VOLLEYBALL A Tradition of Success Nebraska has earned 30 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and owns a 1,140-203-12 all-time record. The Huskers have won 30-ormore matches 20 times, including eight of the last 12 years under Coach John Cook.
Husker All-Americans Nebraska leads the nation in AVCA All-Americans, producing 35 student-athletes who have combined for 71 All-America certificates. Nebraska is second nationally with 39 first-team All-America awards. The Huskers had four AVCA All-Americans in 2011, including first-team selection Gina Mancuso, as well as honorable-mention picks Morgan Broekhuis, Lauren Cook and Hannah Werth. Nebraska has had at least one All-American every season since 1983, (30 straight seasons) including 36 All-Americans in Coach John Cook’s 12 seasons.
Olympians The Husker volleyball team has produced five U.S. Olympians: Cathy Noth (1988 alternate), Lori Endicott (1992 and 1996), Allison Weston (2000), Nancy Metcalf (2004) and Jordan Larson (2012).
Poll Leaders Nebraska is one of only two programs nationally to be ranked in all 430 AVCA Coaches Polls since 1982. Nebraska has been ranked in the top 10 in 393 of 416 weeks all-time and were ranked in the top 10 for 115 consecutive weeks (Aug. 30, 2004-Sept. 5, 2011).
Academic Traditions Nebraska volleyball is unmatched in the classroom. The Huskers have combined for a nation-leading 36 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. In 2009, Kori Cooper became a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, as she was a first-team selection for the second straight year. Nebraska has had 10 academic All-Americans over the past seven seasons. In 2007, Sarah Pavan was the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year not only in college volleyball, but in all Division I athletics for the second straight year, becoming the only college student-athlete to accomplish the feat. In addition, Husker volleyball players have earned four NCAA Top Eight Awards, seven CoSIDA Academic All-Americanof-the-Year awards and seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, most recently with Amanda Gates in the spring of 2009.

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION Nebraska has staked its claim as one of the country’s premier volleyball schools over the last three decades. The Huskers are tied for third among all NCAA programs with three national titles (1995, 2000, 2006) and have advanced to 11 NCAA semifinals, including five this decade. Nebraska has advanced to the Sweet 16 in each of the last 16 seasons and is the only program in the country to reach the Sweet 16 from 2000 to 2009.

The 1995 Nebraska volleyball team rebounded from a setback to Stanford in its second match of the season to reel off 31 consecutive wins, including a 3-1 win over Texas to claim the program’s first national title. An amazing 28 of Nebraska’s 32 victories were 3-0 wins. The Huskers posted school records for wins and winning percentage that stood until 2000. Three NU players were named AVCA All-Americans, including AVCA Co-National Player-of-the-Year Allison Weston.
The 2000 Nebraska volleyball team produced one of the best seasons in NCAA history, culminating with the program’s second national championship with a 3-2 victory over Wisconsin. Ranked sixth and 11th in the preseason polls, the young Huskers finished the season with a 34-0 record and became just the second team in NCAA history to go undefeated and win a national title. First-year Coach John Cook was named the AVCA Coach of the Year, and first-year setter Greichaly Cepero earned AVCA National Player-of-theYear honors.
The 2006 Nebraska volleyball team was dominant from start to finish, going 33-1 en route to winning the school’s third national title. The Huskers were ranked No. 1 all season, becoming only the third team in NCAA history to accomplish the feat. The Huskers swept 24 of 34 matches and were a perfect 12-0 against nationally ranked teams. The Huskers capped the season with wins over fourth-ranked UCLA and second-ranked Stanford at the NCAA Championship in front of sold-out crowds at Qwest Center Omaha. Four players earned AVCA All-America honors, including AVCA National Player-of-the-Year Sarah Pavan.

THIS IS NEBRASKA At the Nebraska Coliseum, volleyball is not just a game, it’s an event. Some of the things you’ll experience at an NU volleyball match include: Fans chanting “Husker Power” at deafening levels, Lil’ Red entertaining children, the Tunnel Walk whipping the crowd into a frenzy as the Huskers take the court, and autograph seekers swarming players after each match. The Nebraska Coliseum has been the home of Husker volleyball since the program began in 1975. The Huskers carry a streak of 164 straight sellouts at the NU Coliseum into the 2012 season. Nebraska annually ranks among the national leaders in attendance. In 2011, the Huskers finished second in the nation in attendance, drawing 72,355 fans in 16 matches for an average of 4,522 per contest.

FIRST-CLASS FACILITIES The home of Nebraska volleyball since the program’s earliest days, the 4,030-seat NU Coliseum is one of the top venues in all of college athletics. Set in the center of the University of Nebraska campus, the Coliseum has been used as a home court for Husker Athletics since the 1920s, serving as the home of the men’s basketball program until the mid1970s. The volleyball team has called the Coliseum home since the program’s inception in 1975, and the building was redesigned specifically for volleyball in 1992. Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s attendance leaders for the last two decades and has sold out 164 consecutive matches dating back to the 2001 season. The Coliseum features many amenities for the volleyball program, including medical facilities as well as a players lounge with study area and a team locker room.

RETIRED JERSEYS Seven former Husker volleyball players have received the highest honor the Nebraska program can bestow, a retired jersey at the Nebraska Coliseum. Karen Dahlgren, Lori Endicott, Cathy Noth and Allison Weston received a permanent place in the NU Coliseum during the 2003 season, as a Wall of Honor was created to highlight the accomplishments of the program’s most outstanding student-athletes. Since then, there have been three additions to the wall. In 2004, Janet Kruse was honored for her academic and athletic achievements at Nebraska with her jersey retirement, Stephanie Thater was honored during the 2010 season. Nancy Metcalf became the most recent honoree, as the three-time All-American returned to campus have Nebraska’s the seventh jersey retired in school history in September of 2011.

THIS IS NEBRASKA Nebraska's top facilities are not limited to the football program. Nearly every Husker sport enjoys a venue that ranks among the nation's best. Nebraska provides its student-athletes topnotch game-day and practice atmospheres in every sport. In 2011-12, the Nebraska men’s and women's basketball and wrestling programs benefitted from the addition of the Hendricks Training Complex at the Devaney Center and the baseball and softball teams began working out in the Haymarket Park Indoor Practice Facility. The new facility includes new practice courts and a wrestling room along with expanded strength and conditioning and athletic medicine areas. Opposite page: Hawks Field, the home of the Husker baseball team, provides a picturesque view of Memorial Stadium (bottom) and the Lincoln city campus. The NU Coliseum serves as the competitive home of Nebraska’s nationally prominent wrestling and volleyball programs, while the Devaney Center Indoor Track is one of the nation’s premier venues.

BUILDING THE ALL-AROUND VOLLEYBALL PLAYER
The University of Nebraska volleyball strength and conditioning coach is dedicated to making each student-athlete the best all-around volleyball player they can become. The goal of the strength coach is to help the volleyball player reach her full potential on the court. With the year-round lifting and conditioning program, we strive to reduce injuries and at the same time increase performance.
STRENGTH STAFF
Lauren Harris is in her first year as head strength coach for the volleyball program. A former All-American basketball player, Harris understands how to develop a strength and conditioning program for elite athletes. The strength and conditioning program’s goal is to produce strength, speed, power and discipline. Making sure the student-athletes are strong, healthy, and competitive is the number one priority. Another goal is to build team dynamics, leadership and mental toughness through different conditioning drills.
TRAINING FOR VOLLEYBALL WEIGHT TRAINING
The weight lifting program consists of both strength and explosive exercises that focus on ground-based and multi-joint movements. Off-season lifting consists of four days a week of lifting with two days of explosive training and two days of strength training. In-season lifting is two days a week focusing on total body movements.
PLYOMETRIC AND AGILITY TRAINING
It is important to condition like a volleyball player. Volleyball is a game that requires agility and explosiveness on a consistent basis. It is important to follow this pattern when performing conditioning drills, as plyometric exercises are specialized, high-intensity training techniques used to develop athletic power.
CONDITIONING
Volleyball is a fast-paced game of short bursts requiring change of directions both laterally and vertically. Developing volleyball endurance is also crucial to prepare for five sets. The conditioning consists of plyometric, agility, speed and endurance training. Plyometric training is used to increase verticals and to work on landings to reduce injuries. Volleyball players need to be able to change direction quickly and get to top speed as fast as possible.
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is another important component to the overall volleyball program. It is worked on throughout the year during conditioning sessions and practice. Yoga is also used during the season to increase performance and reduce injury.
THE INJURED ATHLETE
We have constant communication with the Athletic Medicine Staff in order to plan a successful training program to get the athlete promptly and safely back to competition.
