INTRODUCTION
NEBRASKA COLISEUM
The Nebraska Coliseum has been sold out for the last 149 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 29 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 495-32 (.939) under its roof. The Huskers are 210-14 (.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. Six former Huskers have received the honor, most recently Stephanie Thater in 2008.

undefeated seasons in that span. While these numbers are impressive, former Big 12 and Big Eight members managed even fewer wins. That’s because Nebraska doesn’t lose to conference opponents in the Coliseum. Only five times in 35 years of regular-season Big Eight/Big 12 play did a conference opponent ever win 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 dropped only four Big 12 home matches at the Coliseum. 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 51-3 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 2010 with a Coliseum average attendance of 4,113, a total that is 102 percent of the Coliseum's listed capacity. Single-match tickets in 2010 sold out in just 20 minutes. Nebraska enters the 2011 season with 149 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 16 of the past 18 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 115 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 conference’s 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 in the country. 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 2011. The Big Ten ranks first with 23 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medical (research and primary care), business and engineering.
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS
During the 2010-11 season, the Big Ten claimed six team national championships, including titles for Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State synchronized swimming and men’s volleyball, Penn State women’s volleyball and wrestling and Wisconsin women’s ice hockey. The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 13 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2001-02 to 2010-11. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
STUDENT-ATHLETE OPPORTUNITIES
Big Ten universities provide over $120 million in direct financial aid to more than 9,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 Big Ten championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. Conference institutions sponsor 298 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States.
TELEVISION EXPOSURE
The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, FOX Sports and the Big Ten Network (BTN) provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. Over 900 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis, more than any other conference. 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 fifth year of operation. It is available to approximately 75 million homes nationally, and appears in 19 of the top 20 national media markets.
ATTENDANCE
Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 8.9 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2010-11 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone.
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 that philosophy led to the genesis of the new football division names. Both names link directly to the Big Ten mission.

Nebraska: All-American U
Nebraska continued its string of All-America success in 2010, as Brooke Delano, Lindsey Licht and Hannah Werth were named AVCA All-Americans. The trio upped Nebraska’s NCAA-leading totals to 34 players and 70 certificates. Nebraska has had at least one All-American every season since 1983, a total of 29 straight seasons, including 35 AllAmerica awards in Cook’s 11 years at Nebraska.
Nebraska will carry a streak of 149 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum into the 2011 season. The Huskers sold out all 12 regular-season matches at the Coliseum in 2010, needing only 20 minutes to sell out the entire allotment. The sellout streak - which is the longest ever by an NCAA women’s college program - began in 2001. The last non-sellout came on Sept. 25, 2001, against Creighton. The Huskers have annually been among the national leaders in volleyball attendance for the last two decades. In 2010, Nebraska ranked second nationally with an average of 4,632 fans per match.

One of six returning first-team AVCA All-Americans from a year ago, senior Brooke Delano (DUH-lay-no) looks to lead the Huskers offensively and defensively in 2011 • Showed the ability to dominate with her attacking and blocking abilities, as she possesses great athleticism for her size • Ranked in the top 10 nationally in 2010 in both hitting percentage (4.06) and blocks per set (1.42) • Was just the fourth Husker in NU history to hit over .400 during a season • Highly motivated player who loves to compete every day • Has been around successful teams throughout her career, as she helped Bellevue West High School to four straight Class A state titles and a 170-10 record • Was an all-state performer in both volleyball and basketball in high school and was recruited to play both sports at the college level. “Brooke is coming off a great year, and we think the system we will run this year will highlight her even more,” Coach John Cook said. “She had some shoulder problems during the last month of last season but she was still very effective. She had surgery done to fix the problem, and we’re hoping it makes her an even stronger player this season.”

The Huskers were dealt an off-season blow during the spring of 2010 with the loss of middle blocker Hayley Thramer (pronounced Tray-mer) • Suffered a shoulder injury in the Huskers’ final spring match at Minnesota, and she underwent season-ending surgery following the team’s trip to China • Had enjoyed a strong spring prior to the injury and made a strong push to be in the Huskers’ middle blocker rotation • Saw her first game action in over a year against Wichita State during the 2011 spring season • Tied for the team lead in blocks with five and hit .250 • Finished the spring season with four kills and four blocks in a 3-2 win over Tianjin Bridgestone • Is a very fluid athlete with long arms and the ability to disrupt at the net • Has been around winning teams throughout her career, winning four state titles in high school while joining Gina Mancuso and Lauren Cook on the Nebraska Juniors 18-and-Under national championship squad in 2009. “Based on what I saw during the spring, Hayley has put herself in the mix to get playing time at middle blocker,” Coach John Cook said. “Hayley is gifted in that she is an exceptional blocker, she reminds me of (Melissa) Elmer. The key will be how her shoulder responds and how she can attack.”

34│2011 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
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 and nine Big 12 titles. His teams have compiled a national-best 336-29 record, including a 207-13 mark as a member of the Big 12 Conference. Overall, Cook is 106-23 against ranked teams at NU, including a 20-11 mark against top-five 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, 35 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 student-athletes have also combined for 40 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 61 academic All-Big 12 certificates. 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. 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 also made its 29th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and improved its all-time record in tournament record to 82-26. The
COACHES & ADMINISTRATION Huskers’ all-time AVCA All-America total grew to 70 with Brooke Delano being named a first-team honoree, while Lindsey Licht and Hannah Werth were second-team picks. Werth was also tabbed as 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 six seasons, making three appearances in the NCAA semifinals. Nebraska has also reached the Elite Eight in six of the last seven 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 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 firstteam 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 regional final before a loss to Cal ended a 30-2 season, while a school-record five Huskers earned AVCA All-America 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 2011 with an NCAA-record 149 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 and Grand Island 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 contest is shown either live on television or streamed live on the Internet. “It is a reflection of Nebraska volleyball and the program, and not about one person or one player,” Cook said when accepting the AVCA Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2005. “We’re trying to be a leader in 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, 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.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION 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 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. Cook and his wife Wendy, a former two-time AllAmerica setter at San Diego State, are the parents of two children, Lauren and Taylor. Lauren will be a junior at Nebraska this fall.

NCAA Winningest Active Coaches A licensed pilot, John Cook had an opportunity to fly with the Blue Angels when they we were in town for the Lincoln Air Show.
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 149 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum. Our fans give us an unmatched home court advantage.

Dan Meske (pronounced MESS-key) was hired as a full-time assistant coach prior to the 2011 season after serving as the team’s volunteer coach during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Meske also served as the team’s graduate manager in 2007 and 2008. Meske will be in charge of the Huskers’ video scouting, team managers and be involved with camps. On the court, he will train NU’s outside hitters and liberos. During his first four seasons at Nebraska, Meske has helped the Huskers to a 116-15 record, three Big 12 titles and an appearance in the 2008 NCAA semifinals. 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 also made its 29th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Meske was key in the continued development of 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 served as the Huskers’ graduate manager for two years. He assisted in film breakdown and statistical work while overseeing the student managers in the program.

44│2011 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
A Hall of Fame football coach returned to his roots on Oct. 16, 2007, to become the 13th athletic director at the University of Nebraska. Tom Osborne accepted the position at the time because, Osborne said, “Harvey Perlman asked me.” Perlman, UNL’s chancellor, asked Osborne to lead the program where he had served so productively as head football coach. Two months later, on Dec. 20, 2007, he announced that the word “interim” had been removed from Osborne’s title, and he would remain athletic director until at least July of 2010. Holder of master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Nebraska in educational psychology, Osborne said he probably would not have considered coaching if he had not met Bob Devaney, who convinced him to become a volunteer graduate assistant on his staff. “Bob epitomized the value of loyalty, and I will always be grateful for the confidence he showed in me,” Osborne said. “Because of his leadership and empowerment as a coach and an athletic director, I was fortunate to serve 25 years as head coach.” Devaney put Osborne in charge of the offense that won two national titles and allowed him to concentrate on three areas he thought were important – a strong academic program for student-athletes, a strength and conditioning program and a more formalized program to attract walk-on players. Each area has grown into an important asset for all 23 Nebraska sports programs, which Osborne now oversees. Within months of his appointment, Osborne quietly reestablished an athletic department mission based on five core values – integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty. Nebraska fans across the country and around the world have expressed confidence in Osborne’s experience, his understanding of Nebraska and his desire to elevate the program back among the nation’s elite. Since retiring from football in 1997, Osborne has found several ways to stay active in his home state. His most visible post-coaching foray came in the political arena, as he served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district from 2000 to 2006. He also made a gubernatorial bid in 2006 before turning to academia. A native of Hastings, Neb., Osborne served as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. He completed the fall semester while working in the athletic department. Osborne has also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments over the past two years. “I’ve spent the majority of my life working with the athletic department at the university and I want to do what I can at this point to continue in the pursuit of excellence that has been previously established,” Osborne said. Widely known for his leadership, integrity, honor and compassion, Osborne has poured time and effort into building a unique mentoring program within the state. The TeamMates program, founded by Tom and his wife, Nancy, in 1991, provides support and encouragement to schoolaged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne still actively provides leadership in the college football ranks despite being away from the sideline for a decade. He is currently a voter on the coaches poll for the Master Coaches Poll. While he may hold a key position that molds the future of Nebraska Athletics, many will always remember Osborne for his legendary service to the program as a football coach.
Osborne was named Nebraska’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season and worked the sideline for 25 years, the longest tenure in school history. Under Osborne’s direction, the program achieved remarkable success, exceeding any in its rich history. The Cornhuskers mounted a 255-49-3 record under Osborne, good for a winning percentage of .836. The 255 victories are the sixth-most all-time among major college football coaches while the winning percentage ranks fifth all-time. His achievements were so highly regarded that the National Football Foundation waived its three-year waiting period so that he could be inducted into its Hall of Fame in December of 1998. He is one of only four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived. Osborne’s coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving him a share of a third national title in his final four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion, along with the nation’s best active winning percentage. Osborne guided the Huskers to back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, then capped his career by sharing the 1997 title with Michigan. Nebraska’s back-to-back national titles in 1994-95 made Osborne the first coach to accomplish that feat since Bear Bryant led Alabama to titles in 1978-79. Under Osborne, NU became just the second school all time and the first since Oklahoma in 1955-56 to post backto-back perfect national championship seasons. In fact, Osborne’s last five Nebraska teams put together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3 record, including five consecutive 11-win seasons. Osborne-coached Nebraska teams captured 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, Osborne’s teams were just as successful as they were on the field. Under Osborne’s guidance, the Husker football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in 25 years, averaging more than two selections per season. To put Osborne’s dedication to developing complete student-athletes in perspective, 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, as Notre Dame has produced the second-most football academic All-Americans all-time, totaling 50 selections dating back to 1952. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-toback 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
COMPLIANCEINFORMATION/GUIDELINESFORFANS 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.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 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.

2010 REVIEW
SEASON IN REVIEW
49│2011 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
SEASON IN REVIEW
HUSKERS CAPTURE 12TH BIG 12 TITLE IN 2010 The 2010 season was full of high expectations throughout the Nebraska volleyball program as Head Coach John Cook returned four seniors, including two-time All-America setter Sydney Anderson, All-America outside hitter Tara Mueller, right side hitter Lindsey Licht and libero Kayla Banwarth. The squad also returned 2009 second-team All-America middle blocker Brooke Delano, 2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year Hannah Werth and welcomed Lauren Cook back to Lincoln following her freshman year at UCLA. Nebraska’s run at a fourth national title started in Omaha at the Runza/AVCA Showcase for the fourth straight year with a pair of matches against top-15 teams. NU opened its 2010 slate with a sweep of No. 14 Kentucky, but dropped a heart-breaking five-set match to No. 13 Florida, which lost just two matches all season. “I think our kids did a great job of fighting back and getting in the match and getting in position to win the match,” Cook said following the loss to the Gators. “The thing that hurts the most is that it was pretty much all on our side of the net.”
The Huskers then entered their final season as a member of the Big 12 Conference. After earning at least a share of the league title for five straight years from 2004 to 2008, the Huskers had their lowest finish in Big 12 history in 2009, as they placed third with a 16-4 record. While the national title was the ultimate goal, adding another Big 12 trophy at the Coliseum was not far behind.
Following a sweep of Creighton back in Omaha, the Huskers hit the road for the BYU Nike Invitational Tournament in Provo, Utah. Playing back in her home state, Anderson led the Husker attack to a clean sweep of the tournament with the Huskers dropping only one set in three wins over BYU, Cal Poly and Idaho. Anderson and Werth were each named to the all-tournament team, while Banwarth was named the tournament’s MVP.
Nebraska opened with a 3-1 win over Iowa State in Ames on ESPNU before returning home to take down both Colorado and Kansas. Following road wins over Baylor and Oklahoma, Nebraska returned to the Coliseum for its first match against rival Texas in front of a national TV audience on FSN. The Longhorns entered the match ranked 13th in the country and were riding a four-match winning streak over the Huskers.
Riding a four-match winning streak, the Huskers returned home to host their annual Ameritas Players Challenge with No. 3 Illinois, No. 20 Dayton and Western Michigan making the trek to Lincoln. The Huskers and Flyers kicked off the tournament on Friday night, Nebraska was put on alert early after leading set one 20-12, before Dayton stormed back to take the opening set 26-24. Mueller, Werth and Cook got the Huskers back on track, as each recorded a doubledouble on the night, and NU took the next three sets of the match to win 3-1. Following a sweep of Western Michigan on Friday, No. 7 Nebraska and No. 3 Illinois were set for a Saturday-night showdown for the tournament title at the Devaney Center. The Fighting Illini were the highest-ranked non-conference team to make a trip to Lincoln during Cook’s tenure at Nebraska.
The two volleyball powerhouses split the first two sets before Nebraska took control and sent the Longhorns back to Austin with a 3-1 loss. Nebraska’s pair of 6-5 right side hitters in Licht and Broekhuis paced the Huskers with 13 kills apiece, while Werth notched 11 kills and added a match-high 18 digs to chart her sixth double-double of the season. The Husker offense got stronger as the match went on, as they hit a match-high .417 in set four after failing to hit above .300 in the previous three sets.
Illinois came out swinging and quickly put the Huskers in an 0-2 hole, but Nebraska didn’t go away as 11,892 fans got the team back in the match with a 25-21 win in set three. The momentum continued into set four with Banwarth serving five straight points to open the set. The Huskers cruised through the set, as Delano put away a kill to win the set, 25-14, and force a fifth stanza. Illinois rebounded to take a 13-11 lead in the fifth, but consecutive kills from Delano and Mueller, as well as a block from Delano and freshman Morgan Broekhuis put NU up, 14-13. Illinois tied the set on the following possession, but Nebraska put up two straight points, capped by another block from Delano and Broekhuis to secure one of the most memorable comebacks in Husker history. Delano was named Tournament MVP and was joined on the all-tournament team by Banwarth and Licht. “The crowd was awesome,” Cook said following the match. “I don’t know the total number, but I’ve never heard the Devaney this loud.”
50│2011 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
With momentum high, the Huskers swept their next five opponents, before making a return trip to Austin to face the No. 10 Longhorns in their home building. The Huskers were their own worst enemy on the night, as they tied a season high with 30 errors. After hitting over .300 in their previous three matches, the Huskers struggled to find their rhythm and hit a season-low .160 in the 3-1 loss. The loss quickly refocused the team as the Huskers responded three days later with a sweep of No. 12 Iowa State at the Coliseum. Nebraska swept its next six opponents heading into its final match of the regular season against Texas A&M in College Station. During the run, the Husker history book was rewritten as Banwarth took over the career lead in digs during the team’s match against Texas Tech in Lubbock on Nov. 6. Banwarth broke Jennifer Saleaumua’s previous mark of 1,568 digs in the first set. Banwarth went on to end her career with 1,706 digs. Entering the match with Texas A&M, the Huskers had no interest in sharing the conference crown with Texas, as NU posted its eighth straight sweep to end the regular season. Anderson led the Huskers in assists with 17, while Banwarth controlled the Aggie attack with a team-high 13 digs. Licht
and Mueller each added eight kills, while Mueller hit .400. “Our seniors set a goal to win the Big 12 title in our last year in the Big 12 Conference,” Cook said. “Winning it outright is tough because you have to be great over 11 weeks with the true round-robin schedule.” With one goal down, Nebraska turned its attention toward the NCAA Tournament. Making their 29th consecutive appearance, the Huskers earned the tournament’s No. 2 overall seed and hosted the first two rounds of the tournament at the Coliseum for the 26th time in program history. Nebraska opened the postseason with a pair of sweeps over Sacred Heart and Auburn, as the Huskers played both opponents for the first time in school history. The win over Auburn in the second round was NU’s 10th straight sweep and it came in dominant fashion. The Huskers out-dug the Tigers 43-25 and out-blocked them 11-2 to hold Auburn to -.011 hitting, the lowest percentage by a Husker opponent in the NCAA Tournament since Alabama A&M hit -.072 in the first round of the 2005 tournament. With two wins down and four to go, Nebraska headed to Seattle, Wash., for regional play. The Huskers returned to Seattle just two year after producing a historic comeback from an 0-2 deficit to beat Washington in 2008 and earn a bid to the Final Four. Nebraska’s goal of another national title ended at HecEdmundson Pavilion on Friday, Dec. 10, as the hometown Huskies avenged the 2008 loss with a 3-1 win. NU struggled to find a rhythm all night and hit just .173 while committing 10 service errors. Werth led the Huskers in kills with a season-high 16 and added 16 digs to notch her 10th double-double of the season. Broekhuis was the only other Husker with double-digit kills at 11. The Huskers ended the year with a 29-3 overall record, a 19-1 record in conference play and a No. 7 national ranking in the final AVCA Coaches Poll. NU’s nation-leading AllAmerica total grew to 70, as Delano was named a first-team AVCA All-American, while both Licht and Werth earned the first All-America honors of their careers as second-team picks. At the conference level, John Cook was named Big 12 Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career, while Lauren Cook was picked as the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and Werth was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

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
100│2011 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL
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
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.

same season 16 times since 1984, most recently in 2010, when Brooke Delano, Lindsey Licht and Hannah Werth – 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 29 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 2010. Nebraska has sold out its last 149 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.

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.
1989 Season Highlights
• 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.

Breakthrough Season
After losing in the Mideast Regional final the previous two seasons, Nebraska broke through the field in 1986 and made its first-ever trip to the NCAA championship. Led by senior All-Americans Karen Dahlgren, Tisha Delaney and Enid Schonewise, the Big Eight champion Huskers traveled to Stockton, Calif., with an impressive 28-5 record. The Huskers defeated Stanford, 3-1, before falling to Pacific, 3-0.
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.

The former captain of the U.S. National Team, Weston still holds the school records for kills in a four-game match (37).

here is No Place Like Nebraska . . . and there is no experience like Nebraska volleyball.
For more than three decades, Nebraska volleyball has set the standard of excellence in the sport.
From sold-out Coliseum
crowds
academic
and
media
exposure
to
and
athletic
success, the Husker program is at the forefront of the sport. Nebraska volleyball players are achievers, as the Husker program leads the nation in both All-Americans (70) and CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (36). 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 June of 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.’”

RETIRED JERSEYS Six 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 studentathletes. Since then, there have been two additions to the wall. In 2004, Janet Kruse was honored for her academic and athletic achievements at Nebraska with her jersey retirement. Stephanie Thater became the most recent honoree, as the threetime All-American returned to campus to become the sixth jersey retired in school history in August of 2008.

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
Laura (Pilakowski) Buttermore is in her seventh year as head strength coach for the volleyball program. A former All-American volleyball player, Buttermore understands how to develop a strength and conditioning program for elite volleyball players. 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 you to change directions both laterally and vertically. You also need to develop volleyball endurance when going five sets. The conditioning consists of plyometric, agility, speed and endurance training. Plyometric training is used to increase verticals and also to work on landings to reduce injuries. As a volleyball player you also need to be able to change direction quickly and get to top speed as quickly 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.
