2009 Missouri State Season Outlook

Talented Bears eyeing fifth straight NCAA Tourney Young and experienced don’t always go together when talking about the makings of a successful team, but that’s just how the Missouri State volleyball team could be described entering the 2009 season.

With a quick glance at the roster revealing two seniors and a total of 10 freshmen andsophomores, it would look to be a rebuilding year for the volleyball Bears, but a closer examination shows that 96.1-percent of the team’s kills from 2008 and 94.2-percent of the blocking returns with a young but veteran lineup that has its eyes set on a fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament trip.

Entering her 14th season, head coach Melissa Stokes continues to stockpile talent and 2009 is no different, with the Bears picked by the league’s coaches to finish second in the MVC. “We’re going to be very physical and really good at the net,” said the MVC’s winningest active coach. “We’ve got great depth and and will be a good blocking and attacking team.”

As for how good they can be in 2009, Stokes and the Bears know the implications of a strong start and a stronger finish.

“Our players know the importance of the non-conference schedule and will strive to win the MVC regular-season as well,” stated Stokes. “I think our trademark and something we’ve been able to do consistently in recent years is to play our best at the end of the year, and that’s something we’ll work toward every day.”

The hitters

The team’s only two seniors make up a terrific duo on the outside for the Bears in 2009, with two-time all-MVC pick Sara Staubach (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Addie Foley (Las Vegas, Nev.) leading the offensive charge.

Staubach is a great leader, teammate, and winner who paced Missouri State with 389 total kills and a 2.86 per set average while hitting .230 in 2008 on the way to first-team all-conference honors.

Foley is a strong, explosive athlete ready for the best season of her career. As a junior, she piled up 334 kills and averaged 2.57 per set and was honored as the league’s player of the week in October.

University of Oklahoma transfer Megan Bess (So., Farmington, Mo.) is a needed 2

addition and provides the Bears a powerful hitting option off the bench. She gained experience against high-level competition during her two seasons in the Big 12.

Cara Hackmann(Jr.,Washington, Mo.), who transitioned to the outside for the first time in her career prior to last year’s MVC Tournament, and responded by winning the meet’s Most Valuable Player award, could also see time as an outside as well as everywhere else on the floor.

The second-team all-MVC pick in 2008 is a preseason all-MVC choice this season and averaged 2.58 kills, 2.95 digs and 0.82 blocks as a sophomore.

Junior Cara Hackmann is a preseason all-MVC pick

Deep in the Middle

Perhaps the deepest position for the Bears is in the middle, where Stokes has the option to rotate in four separate players who have finished among the MVC’s top 10 in blocking at least one season of their careers and five who have placed in the top 13.

Preseason all-league pick and 2008 firstteamer Calli Norman (So., St. Charles, Mo.) is a special player who will anchor the Bears at the net and is athletic enough to slide to the outside as well.

As a rookie, she averaged 2.22 kills on a team-high .264 hitting with 0.89 blocks per set, upping those numbers to 2.40 kills, 1.00 blocks and .283 hitting in league matches.

Bethany Fuller (Jr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa) is the tallest player on the team at 6-3 and can be a dominant blocker.

The CVU.com National Player of the Week last season after her performance at the MVC Tournament, Fuller looks to pick up where she left off a year ago when she averaged 1.54 kills and 0.93 blocks while hitting .253 as a sophomore.

Sidelined with a back injury in 2008, Shayla Patrick (Jr., Solon, Ohio) is an extremely athletic player who won the league’s freshman of the week award twice in 2007, while averaging 1.13 blocks per set and hitting .231.

Playing on the right side with her exceptional ability to attack off one foot, Kelley Michnowicz (So., Belleville, Ill.) led the team with 116 blocks and a 0.94 per set average last season while earning MVC all-

Missouri State University

Freshman team honors. She hit .252 as a rookie (.270 in Valley matches), while averaging 2.11 kills per set.

Hackmann will also see time in the middle with her career 0.80 blocks per set average after excelling there last season, including a school-record .882 (15-0-17) hitting percentage in a September match against IPFW.

Two Setters, One Good Offense

The Bears enter 2009 with a pair of talented setters who each bring a unique set of skills to the floor.

Julia Cawthra (So., Lakewood, Colo.) made the second, third and fourth starts of her career at last season’s MVC Tournament and responded by leading the Bears to a championship and earning an all-tournament nod.

The southpaw is one of the best blockers on the team and will see significant playing time when the Bears need a presence at the net from the setter position.

Junior college transfer Melissa Gmur (Jr., Central Point, Ore.) spent the last two seasons as the starter at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, leading her team to a 10th-place finish at the NJCAA national tournament in 2008.

Standing four inches shorter than Cawthra, Gmur excels defensively behind the block, giving the Bears tremendous versatility from the position.

Defense

While nearly all the kills and blocks from 2008 return with veterans at all positions, the battle to fill the defensive spots vacated by 2008 libero Terri Del Conte and four-year starter Nikki Vandepopulier, as well as their 2,150 combined career digs, is wide open entering 2009.

One thing’s for sure, Coach Stokes has a deep pool of talent to fill those roles.

“Our libero position is wide open entering the year, and it’s going to very competitive,” Stokes said. “We lost two very good defensive players, but recruited some really good ones too that will develop into solid players.”

Only two back row players from the 2008 squad are back this year.

Christina Buckner (So., Springfield, Mo.) spent the offseason honing her skills to challenge for playing time. A reserve defender as a rookie, Buckner saw time in 76 sets, scooping 80 digs for a 1.05 per set average.

Sophomore Tiffany Moe (Raytown, Mo.) saw time in four sets, recording nine digs and a service ace, last season and is also in the mix for playing time.

Among the remaining contenders for the back row include three freshmen, a transfer, and Hackmann, who served as the Bears’ libero during the spring 2009 season.

University of Akron transfer Meryl Loop (So., Valley Center, Kan.) spent time setting and playing defense for the Zips in 2008.

She accumulated 83 assists to rank second on the team and averaged 1.73 digs per set over 77 sets. She possesses great quickness and began making the transition to full-time defense very smoothly during the spring after 2009 MVC Preseason Coaches Poll 1.

Sophomore Calli Norman looks to repeat her all-conference status

transferring to MSU in January 2009.

Southwest Missouri product Ashley Mason (Fr., Granby, Mo.) is another quick defensive player who has the coaches excited.

Known for her hustle, Mason played both outside hitter and libero for East Newton High School and was honored as her conference’s player of the year twice as a prep.

Abby Padlock (Fr., Kenosha, Wis.) is a versatile player with a good serve who played outside hitter in high school but will likely earn playing time on defense for the Bears.

Padlock is her school’s career leader in both kills and digs and put a state title on her resume as a senior.

Described as a superb passer and hard worker by Stokes, Shelby Strang (Fr., Champaign, Ill.) is another rookie vying for playing time on defense.

Strang is a two-time all-state selection in Illinois and owns Champaign Central High’s career record for digs at over 1,400.

tough Valley slate.

The Bears open at Oregon with matches against Oregon and San Francisco - two NCAA teams from 2008 - and Eastern Washington.

After that, it’s home for the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational, which features UC Davis, Memphis, Mississippi State and perennial Southland Conference power Stephen F. Austin.

The final non-league tourney is at Ohio, where the Bears will take on host Ohio and Delaware - both NCAA Tournament teams a year ago - along with Eastern Kentucky and Indiana.

“I think it’s very tough and very good,” Stokes said about the 2009 ledger. “I’m excited about the tournament in Ohio, and there’s no gimme wins in our home tournament either.”

As for the league schedule, the Bears play each of the other nine schools in a homeand-home series.

“A lot of the teams at the bottom of the standings last year are making big jumps, and Wichita State returns almost everyone from last year’s team, so the conference is going to be strong again this year,” Stokes added.

Missouri State will play a total of eight matches against members of the 2008 NCAA Tournament field.

The Schedule

The 2009 schedule is built to get the Bears to the postseason and for success once there.

University

Mission Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive university system with a mission in public affairs, whose purpose is to develop educated persons while achieving five goals: democratizing society, incubating new ideas, imagining Missouri’s future, making Missouri’s future, and modeling ethical and effective behavior.

The University’s identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship.

The academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences.

This foundation provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make well-informed, independent critical judgments about the cultures, values, and institutions in society.

The task of developing educated persons obligates the University to expand the store of human understanding through research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and drawing from that store of understanding, to provide service to the communities that support it. In all of its programs, the University uses the most effective methods of discovering and imparting knowledge and the appropriate use of technology in support of these activities.

The University functions through a multicampus system that is integrated to address the needs of its constituents.

MVC Volleyball

he Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s secondoldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics.

The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions.

One of the biggest achievements for The Valley is the increasing notoriety of the State Farm Men’s Basketball Championship, which continually ranks as one of the nation’s top attended championship basketball tournaments.

Notably, in March of 2010, the conference will celebrate the tournament’s 20th anniversary in St. Louis. Affectionately known as “Arch Madness,” the tournament is the second-longest tenured neutral site tournament (trailing only the Big East in New York).

The Valley had another historic year in volleyball as three league teams earned bids into the NCAA Tournament field. In 2007, a conference record four teams were invited to the Big Dance, while only five times previously has the league received as many as two NCAA bids. Tournament champion Missouri State was joined by UNI and Wichita State in postseason play.

League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an affiliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin affiliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.

uuThe

2003 Bears won the Missouri Valley Conference regular season championship with a 17-1 league record. MSU finished the year 27-6 and earned the team’s first NCAA berth under Coach Stokes. The 2005 squad (pictured from left; seniors Katie Werges, Ashley Warren, Sabrina Apker and Katie Kreimer) won the State Farm MVC Tournament title, sweeping a Wichita State club that went through the conference regular season undefeated.

Kyle

Moats Director of Athletics First Year at Missouri State

Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005.

Moats began his duties at Missouri State on July 1, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator.

“I am very pleased to have Kyle Moats as our new director of athletics,” said Missouri State President Michael T. Nietzel.

“Kyle impressed all of us with his broad knowledge, wide range of experience, and vision for the future. He certainly has the student-athlete at the top of his priority list, and he understands how athletics should fit into the culture of a university. Following Bill Rowe, Kyle has big shoes to fill and he knows it. But I am confident Kyle will do an outstanding job for many years to come. All of us are excited to get started.”

Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville. In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan Sports Marketing, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups.

Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years (2004-05) at Marquette University, where he oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM, which holds the marketing rights for several BIG EAST Conference schools.

He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02).

Moats joined the UK staff as a graduate assistant in the athletics office in 1989, and in 1991 was promoted to coordinator of promotions and special events. He became the Wildcats’ director of marketing, promotions and licensing in 1993 before being named assistant athletics director for marketing in 1996.

He served as tournament manager for the 1993 NCAA Golf Championships and the 1996 and 1998 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament events in Lexington.

A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. While at SIUE, Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and was a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-1988. He earned a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Kentucky in 2001.

The Bears Fund is an annual fund-raising program for Missouri State intercollegiate athletics that was established in 1981 in conjunction with the move of MSU athletics to NCAA Division I status.

The fund’s name stands for “Building Excellence in Athletics through Recruiting and Scholarships,” and the fund has grown substantially throughout the 27 years of its existence. The 2008-09 drive netted over $2.98 million, marking the 21st year in a row in which total contributions to The Bears Fund have gone beyond $1 million.

The fund is administered by the Missouri State University Foundation with additional input from coaching and administrative staff members in intercollegiate athletics.

Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, newsletter and media guide mailings, and parking and ticket considerations.

Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting. Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts.

An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular late-summer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics.

Held in late August for each of the past 22 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment.

Individuals and businesses donate goods or services for sale at the auction, and the income derived from that sale goes to intercollegiate athletics. Items available for purchase at the auction since it began in 1987 have included automobiles, a thoroughbred racehorse, country club memberships, advertising packages, travel opportunities including road trips with MSU athletic teams, furs, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and unique items such as the chance to join MSU coaches on the sidelines during varsity contests. 14 of the last 15 auctions each netted more than $100,000 for MSU athletics, and the 2006 auction set a record by raising more than $150,000.

Missouri Valley Conference The Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics.

The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions.

One of the biggest achievements for The Valley is the increasing notoriety of the State Farm Men’s Basketball Championship, which continually ranks as one of the nation’s top attended championship basketball tournaments.

The Valley had another historic year in volleyball as three league teams earned bids into the NCAA Tournament field. In 2007, a conference record four teams were invited to the Big Dance, while only five times previously has the league received as many as two NCAA bids. Tournament champion Missouri State was joined by UNI and Wichita State in post-season play.

Based in St. Louis since 1985, the league is assertive in its approach to hosting NCAA basketball championship events, operating a revenue-producing in-house television network, bidding out the right to host sport championships and landing title sponsorships for those events.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longesttenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis.

Bradley

This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAA Peoria, Illinois events represents one of the most concentrated stretches of host Creighton opportunities for any university or conference in the 70-plus year Omaha, Nebraska history of the national championship tournament. In 2010, the Missouri Valley will host an NCAA men’s basketball regional, while Drake The Valley has hosted three Final Fours this decade (women’s events Des Moines, Iowa in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005). The league had previously hosted men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004 and Evansville 2007; and a men’s first/second round event in 2002. Additionally, Evansville, Indiana Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball first and second round in 2008 in Omaha.

Illinois State

And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressive Normal, Illinois in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a national leader Indiana State in the athletic arena. And starting in 1995-96, the conference broke Terre Haute, Indiana new ground by allowing league members to bid for hosting rights for select team sport championships. By establishing uniform host Missouri State criteria, the conference is able to assist a host institution in a seasonSpringfield, Missouri long promotional campaign and provide an avenue where hosts can acquire sponsors and achieve a profit for the event.

UNI

The 2003-04 season was a landmark season for the conference Cedar Falls, Iowa as State Farm Insurance and the league came to terms on an agreement that provides State Farm with title sponsorship of all of the league’s Southern Illinois 18 championships. That agreement was enhanced for the 2007-08 Carbondale, Illinois season. The conference’s progressive marketing and in-house Wichita State television package has helped open doors to regional and national Wichita, Kansas sponsors outside of the realm of title sponsorships, as the league’s men’s basketball tournament sponsorship revenues continues to reach all-time highs.

Meanwhile, the league has been progressive in other areas, as it has taken its merchandise program in-house, while offering e-commerce solutions for league apparel, championship photography and a conference-wide videostreaming package.

The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, The Valley will always continue to be proactive in its approach.

League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an affiliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin affiliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.

John Q. Hammons Student Center The Missouri State Bear volleyball team plays its home matches in spacious John Q. Hammons Student Center, the home of Missouri State volleyball since the start of the 1976-77 school year.

The largest indoor facility in southwest Missouri, Hammons has a main arena seating capacity of 8,846.

There are 4,646 permanent seats and folding bleacher units on the north and south ends each seat 2,100 fans.

Hammons Student Center was constructed at a cost of $5.5 million and was named for Springfield business executive and former Missouri State student John Q. Hammons, who donated a gift of one million dollars to the project.

The facility grew out of a lengthy project begun by Missouri State students in the early 1970s, with actual construction beginning in January of 1975. The structure, completed in the late summer of 1976, is located on the northwest edge of the Missouri State campus. The land for the building was made available to the University in 1972 by the Springfield Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority.

An additional $326,000 of the total cost came in a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the facility’s eight-lane swimming pool. Parking is located south of the building.

The court in the main arena, two more full-size courts in the east and west gyms under the side seats, and two smaller courts under the bleacher units on the north and south ends are marked for basketball, volleyball and tennis. In 1985, Missouri State acquired a hardwood floor, which is laid over the permanent floor for volleyball and basketball competition.

The office space in women’s athletics was doubled in the fall of 1993, and the volleyball locker room was remodeled following the 2005 season, thanks to lead gifts by Chip McGeehan of Marshfield. Several others

have made significant gifts to benefit the locker room projects, including Jim and Joan Cologna.

The Missouri State volleyball and softball teams had shared a locker room since the opening of Hammons Student Center in 1976 and each now has its own space with the completion of the two projects. The new locker rooms each include 20 wooden lockers, a team meeting area, a trophy case, sinks, toilets and individual showers.

The Colognas are longtime supporters of Missouri State volleyball and pledged a significant gift toward the volleyball locker room. The trophy case is named in their honor.

Recent improvements in the main arena of Hammons Student Center include a new sound system, a scoreboard with an electronic message center and improved lighting.

The swimming pool is equipped for use at either 25 yards or 25 meters and has both one and three-meter diving boards. Hammons Student Center also houses a rifle range, a training room and six racquetball courts.

Hammons contains athletic and building administration offices as well as offices for many coaches, a lounge area, large varsity locker rooms and locker rooms for visiting teams and recreational use.

Performers who have made appearances in Hammons include Bob Hope, Anne Murray, Huey Lewis and the News, Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, Barbara Mandrell, Barry Manilow, Genesis, Bill Cosby, Dolly Parton, the Harlem Globetrotters, George Carlin, Garth Brooks, John McEnroe, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Amy Grant, Alabama, James Taylor, 98 Degrees and the Dixie Chicks. There have also been appearances in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan, in 1988 by Vice President George Bush and in 2002 by President George W. Bush.

The Jim D. Morris Family Strength and Conditioning Center sits adjacent to the Turner Family Practice Court gives the Bears a dedicated cardiovascular and weight facility inside Hammons Student Center.

Wooden lockers in the volleyball locker room were introduced after the remodel in 2005. ttt

The Turner Family Practice Court was completed in 2006, helping ease the practice schedule of the volleyball Bears and both basketball programs. The east gym underwent extensive renovations, including the installation of new lighting, wall covering, and the addition of the hardwood floor that was in use in HSC’s main arena from 1985 until February 2006. uuu

2008 Missouri State Season Review

Bears make it four straight NCAAs Missouri State wins MVC title with magical tourney run After 12 years at the helm of the Missouri State volleyball program, head coach Melissa Stokes felt her Bears volleyball team was at a place where it could replace its lost talent each season and not miss a beat -- rebuild rather than reload as the cliché goes. Stokes’s 13th season would put that notion to the test, and the Bears would pass with flying colors, going on an improbable three-day run to win the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and qualify for a fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

Four straight NCAAs After waiting to see if their name would be called the last two seasons, it was only a matter of where the Bears would be going this year as the team watched the NCAA Tournament selection show after earning the MVC’s automatic bid just a day before.

Missouri State’s name appeared in the bracket in the Lincoln, Neb., regional with a first-round date with UAB. The Bears faced a steep hill in the first round against a 26-7 UAB team that started four seniors and a junior. Missouri State, on the other hand, sent three freshmen, two sophomores and a junior on to the floor as the starting lineup.

All three sets played out very similar, with the Blazers taking 17-10 leads in the first and third sets and a 22-17 advantage in the second. Missouri State made a run each time UAB took those leads, but fell short in the 25-17, 25-21, 25-17 loss. UAB

The Bears celebrate their MVC Tournament championship 74

lost the next day to No. 4 Nebraska in three convincing sets.

MVC Tournament to remember After losing their starting setter to a broken thumb in the regular season finale and entering a tournament that had never been won by a team seeded lower than second as a No. 4 seed, the odds were not in the Bears’ favor at the MVC Tournament Thanksgiving weekend in Wichita.

A sweep of Illinois State in Thursday’s quarterfinal set up a showdown with ninthranked and undefeated Wichita State in the semifinals. The Bears silenced the crowd of 4,000-plus by taking the first two sets from the 29-0 Shockers on their home floor, but WSU roared back to send it to a fifth set.

In the deciding set, the Shockers fought off one Missouri State match point at 14-13 and then took one of their own at 15-14. The Bears were up to the challenge, stuffing two of WSU’s next three attacks and letting the third go out of bounds for the 17-15 win and their sixth finals appearance in eight years.

Now sitting at 22-12 on the season, MSU still needed a win over UNI on Saturday to gain entry into the NCAA field. The Bears trailed 17-10 in the first set but took over from there, sweeping UNI for the first time since 2004 in the eighth finals match between the two schools. Cara Hackmann was named tourney MVP while Bethany Fuller and Julia Cawthra (whose three tournament starts were the first of her career), joined her on the all-tournament team.

Regular season full of ups and downs The season began with seven matches away from Springfield and spanned a total of four time zones.

The Bears lost a fivesetter to eventual NCAA participant San Francisco in the season opener but rebounded to defeat Indiana 3-1 the next morning before falling 3-1 to 24thranked Long Beach State later that day.

Missouri State University

Sara Staubach earned a first-team all-conference nod

The team then made the cross-country trip to Chapel Hill, N.C., and were swept

by North Carolina on Sept. 5 before reeling off a six-match winning streak.

MSU concluded its trip to the Tarheel State with wins over Davidson, Georgetown and UNC-Greensboro and returned home for the T.J. Sales/Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational. The Bears began that event with sweeps of Alcorn State, IPFW and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and Hackmann set a school record by hitting .882 (15-0-17) in the IPFW match. Those wins set up a showdown with Arkansas-Little Rock for the title, and the Trojans prevailed in four sets.

Missouri State began Missouri Valley Conference play the next week, losing 3-1 at No. 16 Wichita State, and concluded the weekend with a 3-0 non-conference win at South Dakota State. The road trip continued with a loss at Creighton and a win at Drake, and the Bears came home to beat Indiana State and Illinois State the next weekend.

MSU’s fourth win in a row came in five sets at Southern Illinois on Oct. 10, but the team stumbled the next night, losing to Evansville for just the second time in school

history as the only hiccup in a stretch of eight wins over nine matches.

The Bears continued their winning ways by topping SIU Edwardsville, Bradley, UNI and Drake at home before falling to Creighton in five sets on Oct. 25. After that, MSU went on the road to complete season sweeps of the ISUs and returned home Nov. 4 for a stunning loss to Texas-Pan American.

Missouri State then avenged the earlier loss to Evansville three days later and with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Southern Illinois on Nov. 8, the Bears reached the 20-win mark for a 10th consecutive season, something only seven other programs in the country can say.

The last three matches of the regular season all resulted in defeats, as the Bears lost both matches of a conference weekend for the first time since 2000 by falling at UNI and Bradley, and then suffered a 3-0 loss to the 11th-ranked Shockers at home in the season finale to go into the MVC Tournament as the fourth seed with a 20-12 overall record and 11-7 conference mark.

Adjustments to the record book Missouri State played 139 sets in 2008, the most since 1982, and 22 matches that lasted beyond three sets, the most ever.

That quantity of volleyball allowed several players to move up season and career record lists despite the shortened 25-point sets.

Nikki Vandepopulier climbed to 10th in career digs with 1,177, and Terri Del Conte moved to 19th with 973, easily the most by a two-year player, after scooping 605 digs in 2008, the second-highest total in school history. Del Conte averaged 4.35 per set for the year, fifth all-time, and narrowly missed becoming the school’s career leader in average, finishing second with 3.83. Hackmann also reached the 200 career sets required to qualify and is eighth on the career list with her 3.12 digs per set average.

Vandepopulier also moved to 10th in career sets played with 447, and Sara Staubach posted the No. 9 season total in attacks with 1,168.

Bears honored across the board Eight different Bears received at least one individual honor this season, including four members of the all-conference team.

Staubach and Calli Norman made the first team, Hackmann was a second team pick and Norman and Kelley Michnowicz were all-freshman honorees.

Nationally, MSU players were honored twice, as Fuller won the Collegiate Volleyball Update (CVU.com) National Player of

Missouri State Triple-Doubles (10 Kills-Blocks-Digs in a Match)

Sara Thomas’ 11 kills, 11 blocks and 19 digs vs. Wichita State on Oct. 5, 2007, marked the last Bear tripledouble.

Missouri State 20-20 Club (20 Kills-Digs in a Match)

There have been 27 times that an Missouri State player has recorded 20 kills and 20 digs in a match, and 13 Bears have accounted for the 20-20s. Michelle Witzke had three 20-20s in 1997 to raise her career total to seven, a Missouri State record. No Missouri State player has ever had a 30-30 match, although Witzke came close with 32 kills and 27 digs at Drake on November 2, 1997. On October 7, 1989, Missouri State posted three 20-20s against Arkansas State as Ruch (21-29), Laura Graham (20-20) and Melinda Bingham (20-22) each joined the 20-20 club in that match. The 20-20 club, with kill and dig totals: Kathy Crotty. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24-25. . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/26/86 vs. Mississippi Kathy Crotty. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31-22. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11/22/86 vs. UNI Mindy Struckhoff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28-26. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/21/88 vs. Missouri Susan Ruch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22-20. . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/23/88 vs. Ohio State Susan Ruch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21-29. . . . . . . . . . 10/7/89 vs. Arkansas State Melinda Bingham. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20-22. . . . . . . . . . 10/7/89 vs. Arkansas State Laura Graham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20-20. . . . . . . . . . 10/7/89 vs. Arkansas State Susan Ruch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25-30. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11/18/89 vs. UNI Amy Ziegler. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25-23. . . . . . . . . . 10/12/90 vs. Wichita State Tina Noelke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20-23. . . . . . . . . . . . 9/25/92 vs. Illinois State Maura Quinn. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21-25. . . . . . . . . . . . 9/24/94 vs. Illinois State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20-23. . . . . . . . . . . 9/25/94 vs. Indiana State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24-27. . . . . 8/31/96 vs. North Carolina State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24-22. . . . . . . . . . . 11/8/96 vs. Indiana State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24-27. . . . . . . . . . . 11/22/96 vs. Illinois State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33-23. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10/11/97 vs. UNI Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36-21. . . . . . . . . . 10/17/97 vs. Wichita State Michelle Witzke. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32-27. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11/2/97 vs. Drake Joleen Meservy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20-21. . . . . . . . . . . 9/4/98 vs. South Carolina Amanda Omar. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32-21. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10/17/98 vs. Bradley Amanda Omar. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22-25. . . . . . . . . . 10/23/98 vs. Wichita State Joleen Meservy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22-22. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/11/99 vs. Hofstra Liesbeth Gorremans. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22-21. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9/1/00 vs. Saint Louis Erin Murphy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21-30. . . . . . . . . 9/10/00 vs. Boston College Erin Murphy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23-22. . . . . . . . . . . 10/25/02 at Illinois State Erin O’Connor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24-20. . . . . . . . . . . . 9/17/06 at Illinois State Erin O’Connor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23-21. . . . . . . . . . . 9/29/06 at Wichita State

Missouri State Triple-20 Club (20 Kills-Assists-Digs in a Match) Only three Bear volleyball players have accomplished the triple-20 of 20 or more kills, assists and digs in a match.

Missouri State has not had a triple-20 since 1989, mainly because in recent years the Bears have used a 5-1 offense in which the setter does not hit as much as in a 6-2 (twosetter) offense, used more frequently by Missouri State in the 1980s.

Two players – Ruch and Bingham – each posted triple20s against Arkansas State on October 7, 1989, but no Bear foe has ever achieved the rare feat.
