2011 Missouri State Season Outlook
Volleyball Bears Aim to Surprise Valley in 2011 It’s hard to imagine a roster with a returning All-American, a three-time allMissouri Valley Conference performer, the reigning league Freshman of the Year and a player who spent time in the U.S. National Program over the summer sneaking up on anybody, but that is exactly what the 2011 Missouri State volleyball team intends to do as it enters the season picked to finish fourth in the MVC race. That four-player nucleus, combined with some solid newcomers, is why Head Coach Melissa Stokes enters her 16th season at the helm as excited as any before. “I think we’re going to surprise people,” Stokes said of this year’s club. “We graduated four seniors, but I feel we have more depth everywhere this year, especially at outside hitter, which will allow us more options and versatility.”
Firepower on Offense
Stokes consistently uses the word firepower to describe the offensive options and talent she has at her disposal. Leading that group is a pair of seniors in Kelley Michnowicz (Belleville, Ill.) and Calli Norman (St. Charles, Mo.). Michnowicz became Missouri State’s fourth All-American in volleyball last season after leading the MVC with a .367 hitting percentage that ranked second in school history. The right side hitter ranks third in MSU and 14th in MVC history entering 2011 with a .309 career attack efficiency to go along with 678 career kills and 277 career blocks. Michnowicz was also picked by MVC coaches to earn a third consecutive first-team allconference selection this year. Norman anchors the middle for the Bears and is poised to become just the third player in MVC history to make the all-conference first team four times. The senior enters the year eighth in school history with a .290 hitting percentage and 17th with 946 career kills. Norman also has 327 career blocks with at least 100 stuffs in each of her first three seasons as a Bear. On the left side, the Bears boast reigning MVC Freshman of the Year Christine McCartney (So., Arlington, Texas), whose 3.33 kills per set and 326 total 2
ranked second and fourth, respectively, all-time among rookies at MSU. Powerful and athletic, McCartney posted 20 double-figure kill efforts in 28 matches while earning MVC Freshman of the Week honors three times in 2010. Karen Rivatto (Jr., Porto Alegre, Brazil) joins McCartney on the outside to give the Bears one of the M V C ’s b e s t o n e - t w o punches. A transfer from Northeastern Junior College in Colorado, Rivatto is an explosive jumper who owns all the shots and is skilled enough to play six rotations. A two-time all-region player in junior college, Rivatto was the region player of the year as a sophomore and freshman of the year prior to that, putting up 811 kills (4.34/set), a .307 hitting Calli Norman is a three-time first-team all-MVC selection percentage, 2.97 digs, 0.33 high school as a home-school student. A aces and 0.71 blocks per set physical blocker who also attacks well in two seasons. Another six-rotation player who Stokes off one foot, Vlasin tallied 611 kills, 309 compares to former MSU great Cara digs, 191 blocks and a pair of first-team Hackmann is Olivia Brand (Fr., all-conference accolades during her junior Springfield, Mo.).

after two years at Salt Lake Community College in Utah. She had 547 digs for a 4.27 per set average as a junior college sophomore, and was the Utah Class 5A State Tournament MVP as a senior in 2008 while helping Lone Peak High to a second consecutive state championship.
Star in the Making at Setter
Sophomore Carly Thomas (Swansea, Ill.) takes over full-time at setter this season after splitting time with Melissa Gmur as a true freshman. A dynamic player who led MSU with 839 assists and 24 aces in 2010, Thomas spent part of her offseason with the U.S. Women’s National A2 Program. She totaled 70 kills on .310 hitting, 219 digs and 39 blocks while grabbing two Valley Freshman of the Week awards and a spot on the league’s all-freshman team in 2010. Backing up Thomas is senior Tiffany Moe (Raytown, Mo.) and redshirt freshman MaryJo Kolze (Tempe, Ariz.). Moe has spent the bulk of her first three seasons as a defensive specialist, playing in 16 sets and scooping 15 digs, but did earn all-conference and all-district recognition for setting as a senior in high school. Kolze came to Missouri State as a decorated prep setter in Arizona, earning first-team all-state honors as a senior while leading all Arizona setters with 3.8 points per set and ranking 24th nationally in aces. Kolze also led all Arizona setters in points (4.2/set) and digs (3.9/set) as a junior.
Defense
Ashley Mason (Granby, Mo.) grabbed the early lead for libero honors in fall camp after earning significant playing time late in 2010. The third-year sophomore made five starts in November of her freshman year and appeared in 77 sets, totaling 88 digs for a 1.14 per set average, including a season-best 13 digs at Wichita State. 2011 MVC Preseason Coaches Poll 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The Schedule
Kelley Michnowicz was an All-American in 2011
Stokes has assembled another challenging schedule in 2011 with several opportunities for NCAA resume-building wins. “I’m excited about the opening tournament with Oklahoma and SMU, and also playing quality teams in San Diego and Northeastern the next weekend,” Stokes said of the challenges her team will face. “Kansas State will be a great match in the home tournament, and the Valley is going to be extremely tough again after four teams made the NCAA last year.” In the non-conference, Oklahoma and San Diego made NCAA appearances in 2010, while SMU went 25-6 as a bubble team and K-State is a perennial force in the Big 12. The MVC sent UNI, Wichita State and Creighton to the NCAA Tournament along with the Bears in 2010, and those four teams are expected to pace the league again in 2011.
Fellow third-year player S h e l b y S t r a n g ( J r. , Champaign, Ill.), has 330 digs in 184 sets played to her credit at Missouri State, digging at least 10 attacks in 10 separate matches. Newcomers Maddy Hogan (Fr., Freeburg, Ill.) and Anna Burgess (Jr., Lone Peak, Utah) give the Bears even more defensive options. Hogan played for the same club as Michnowicz, Norman and Thomas, and helped her high school team to state titles in 2008 and 2009 and a 105-12 combined record her final three seasons. An all-state selection in 2009 and 2010, Hogan was ranked among the nation’s top 50 liberos according to PrepVolleyball.com. Burgess is a hard-worker who transferred to MSU Christine McCartney was the 2010 MVC Freshman of the Year 2011 Guide

The MSU Experience
Moats Director of Athletics Third 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 in July 2009, 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. In a busy first year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. The agreement will result in the outsourcing of the departments’ marketing and corporate sales operations while maximizing revenue potential for MSU Athletics. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new multi-year television contract with KY3, Inc. Year two for Moats in Springfield saw Missouri State finish second in the 2010-11 MVC All-Sports Trophy standings--its best finish in five years. Conference titles by men’s basketball, women’s swimming and softball, as well as postseason tournament berths for both MSU basketball programs highighted the Bears’ year. Prior to his arrival in Springfield, 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, 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 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. 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. Moats and his wife, Leeann, have two children, Kirk and Lauren.

The MSU Experience
Intercollegiate Athletics Mission Statement
(Approved by the Board of Governors October 1995, revised November 1999, December 2001, October 2003)
Abridged Version
Missouri State University (MSU) is committed to an intercollegiate athletics program which complements the mission of the University and operates in accordance with the principles and regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As a member of various athletics conferences, MSU is committed to academic and athletics excellence, sound fiscal management practices, enhancement of the physical and educational welfare of student-athletes, equal opportunity, character development, principles of amateurism, as well as the fundamental values of sportsmanship, civility, and the common virtue of good citizenship.
The Bears Fund
The Bears Fund is the 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 its impact on Missouri State Athletics has grown substantially throughout the 29 years of its existence. The 2009-10 drive netted over $2.75 million, marking the 22nd 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, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason 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 latesummer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in August for each of the past 23 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. Fifteen of the last sixteen auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU Athletics, and the 2009 auction raised more than $110,000.

Missouri Valley Conference From early beginnings to its current standing on the map of college athletics, the Missouri Valley Conference continues to be proactive as The Valley enters its 105th year in 2011-12. The nation’s secondoldest NCAA Division I conference is a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences. The Missouri Valley Conference enters a new decade facing a rapidly changing environment in NCAA Division I athletics as conference expansion and realignment swept the nation in the summer of 2010. Although The Valley was untouched, the league will remain vigilant in monitoring changes or potential changes in other conferences that might impact membership, or present opportunities for expansion. Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. With UNI’s NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2010, the league has had four different Sweet 16 teams since 2006, and The Valley is the only non-BCS league with more than two different Sweet 16 teams in that span. Notably, the run of nine straight seasons with two or more teams in the NCAAs ended in 2007, as the past three seasons have seen only the tournament champion included in the NCAA field. While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of Bradley the conference. In volleyball, a league-high four Peoria, Illinois teams were invited to the 2010 NCAA Volleyball Championship, marking the fifth-straight year that multiple teams were invited Creighton to the Dance. UNI finished the season ranked No. 14, following Omaha, Nebraska its second-straight perfect 18-0 conference season. Drake Meanwhile, the success of The Valley television package Des Moines, Iowa is one of the great stories in the league. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenue-generating vehicle and Evansville The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. Also, The Valley is Evansville, Indiana making video-streaming a major focus as it enters the third year of a three-year plan to upgrade the production and marketing of Illinois State both institutionally-produced and conference-produced webcasts. Normal, Illinois State Farm Insurance has been a crucial partner, as The Indiana State Valley came to terms on an agreement in 2003-04 that provided Terre Haute, Indiana State Farm with the title sponsorship of 17 of the league’s 18 championships (the baseball title sponsorship was added in 2008, Missouri State giving State Farm exclusive championship naming rights for all Springfield, Missouri 18 MVC sports.) In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward UNI ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament Cedar Falls, Iowa sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10-year partnership with Learfield Sports. The Southern Illinois Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive Carbondale, Illinois sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include Wichita State championships and television advertising. Wichita, Kansas During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. Since 1998, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA tournament events in the 13-year period, which has made St. Louis one of the most frequent stops on the NCAA Tournament trail. The Valley hosted Women’s Final Fours in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005. 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. League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer.

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 Turner Family Practice Court was completed in 2006, helping ease the practice schedule of the volleyball Bears and both basketball programs.

2011 Missouri State Season Review
Bears return to NCAA Tournament Missouri State hits 20 wins for 12th straight year
After a rare miss of the NCAA Tournament in 2009, the 2010 version of Missouri State’s volleyball team returned to form and once again ended its season in the Big Dance. Missouri State played a challenging nonconference schedule and navigated through perhaps the toughest Missouri Valley Conference field in history to a 12-6 league mark and 21-9 overall record on selection day. The Bears got the invite to the NCAA Tournament - their sixth in eight seasons but it was a first-round exit at the hands of Auburn that ended MSU’s season at 21-10 and left those involved with the feeling of a missed opportunity and wanting more in 2011.
Fast Start in the Non-Conference
Missouri State rolled to its best start since 1977, winning its first six matches before falling 3-1 to an Ohio squad that ended its season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in what served as the title match of the JQH Invitational. The Bears started the season in dramatic fashion by overcoming a 2-0 deficit to beat Texas State in five sets, using 19 kills on .571 hitting from Calli Norman to rally past the Bobcats. Missouri State hit .395 in a sweep of Canisius and then held Hofstra to a -.011 hitting percentage to finish the Hofstra/Asics Invitational. After their trip to New York, the Bears welcomed a solid field to Hammons Student Center for the JQH Invitational. MSU opened with a sweep of Texas A&M, using eight blocks and .778 hitting from Shayla Patrick, then swept Southeast Missouri State, hitting .331 in the contest, before a dramatic 3-1 win over North Carolina Saturday (Sept. 4)
Cara Hackmann left Missouri State with seven school records
evening. The Bears suffered their first loss in Sunday’s tournament finale, a 3-1 setback to Ohio in which the Bobcats had 17 blocks. Missouri State hosted the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational the next week, beginning with a 3-1 win over Saint Louis Friday (Sept. 10). The Bears then played nine sets on Saturday, nearly losing a 2-0 lead to Utah before a 7-0 run in the fifth set helped the Bears to the 3-2 win. Christine McCartney piled up 17 kills and 15 digs on the way to MVC Freshman of the Week honors. In the nightcap, Missouri State took the first set from Oklahoma but lost late leads in the final three in a 3-1 defeat. Missouri State concluded its non-conference slate two weeks later, squeezing in a Sept. 28 victory at SIU Edwardsville into the MVC season and finishing the non-conference with a 9-2 record against a schedule that included three eventual NCAA Tournament teams and handful of others coming off postseason bids in 2009.
Consistent Throughout League Play
The Bears made it through the Missouri Valley Conference schedule losing consecutive matches just one time. Missouri State faced the stiffest challenge of any league school in its opener, taking on then-No. 17 UNI in Cedar Falls. The Bears lost in three sets to the Panthers, coming only as close as 25-21 in the first. The Bears seemed to get over the UNI loss quickly the next night at Bradley, rolling to 12- and 10-point wins in the first two sets before the Braves rallied to force a fifth. MSU opened the final period on an 8-1 run on the way to a 15-9 win. Carly Thomas was three kills shy of a triple-double, while Kelley Michnowicz had 14 kills and hit .545, one of nine matches above .500 on the season for the All-American. Missouri State hosted Indiana State and Illinois State Sept. 24 and 25, beating the Sycamores 3-1 behind 17 kills from McCartney and a combination of 28 kills, one error and .491 hitting by Michnowicz, Norman and Patrick. The Bears swept the Redbirds the next night as the offense amassed 50 kills in three sets. After winning 3-1 at SIUE Sept.
Calli Norman made the all-MVC First Team for a third time
28, the Bears returned to league action against Wichita State Oct. 2. McCartney piled up 19 kills against the Shockers on the way to her second MVC Freshman of the Week award, and the Bears had 70 kills and hit .240 in a four-set victory over the league’s top statistical defense. Missouri State spent the following weekend splitting five-set matches at Creighton and Drake. Friday (Oct. 8) at CU, Michnowicz had 17 kills and hit .536 to spark her MVC Player of the Week laurels, but the Bluejays claimed the fifth set by a 15-10 final. The Bears handed Drake the same fate the next night, beating the Bulldogs 15-13 in the fifth set. McCartney had 21 kills in the victory, the most by an MSU rookie since 2000. Missouri State turned the momentum from the Drake win into home sweeps of Evansville and Southern Illinois to reach the midway point of the MVC season at 7-2 in the league and 16-4 overall. Against Evansville, McCartney had 18 kills and hit .500 on the way to a third MVC freshman honor, then led all players with 12 against the Salukis as the Bears cruised to another win. The Bears opened the second half of league play at the ISUs, beginning with a 3-0 setback at Illinois State when only one player had more than seven kills. Missouri State responded to hit .366 Oct. 23 at Indiana State, grabbing a 3-0 win, and continued its road trip Oct. 29 at Wichita State. The Shockers and Bears alternated set

wins in Wichita, with WSU taking the first and ultimately winning 15-9 in the fifth. Thomas handed out 49 assists and scooped 14 digs to win Valley Freshman of the Week. Missouri State opened the month of November by losing to Drake for the first time in 23 matches. The Bulldogs hit .256 and dispatched the Bears in four sets. On Nov. 6, the Bears avenged an earlier loss to Creighton by rolling the Bluejays in straight sets. Norman had 10 kills and the defense held CU to .072 hitting. The Bears completed season sweeps of SIU and Evansville the next weekend, winning both matches 3-0. Michnowicz had 22 kills on .463 hitting for MVC Player of the Week accolades, while Thomas was the league’s top freshman again after hitting .714 with 12.67 assists per set as the offense hit .314 in the wins. Missouri State ran its winning streak to four by surviving another scare from Bradley Nov. 19, beating the Braves 15-11 in the fifth set as Megan Bess pounded 24 kills on .488 hitting. In the regular season finale, MSU had failed to convert four set points in the first against 12th-ranked UNI and lost 31-29 before the Panthers claimed the 3-0 win. The victory for UNI clinched the Panthers their second consecutive 18-0 conference season.
Short Stay at the MVC Tournament
Missouri State’s 12-6 MVC record was good for the fourth seed at the MVC Tournament and a match-up with Illinois State in the quarterfinals. Playing without McCartney due to an ankle injury, the Bears sputtered to a .162 hitting percentage in the 3-1 loss.
MVC Ties Record For NCAA Bids
The Bears received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament with an RPI in the low 40s as the MVC sent four teams to the postseason, tying the league’s previous record from 2007. Missouri State drew Auburn in the first round in Lincoln, Neb., in what was a very winnable match in the eyes of the Bears. Missouri State struggled in the first set against the Tigers, and lost the next two sets after being tied 24-24 in the second and leading 24-23 and 25-24 in the third, leaving a feeling of “what if?” around the team. In fact, it was a disappointing tournament for most of the MVC, despite Creighton winning its first round match, as Wichita State fell in the first round and UNI was upset at home as the No. 5 national seed.

Michnowicz hit .367 to rank second in school history while bumping her career figure to third at .309. Norman finished her junior year eighth in career hitting percentage at .290. McCartney’s average of 3.33 kills per set ranked second all-time among freshmen, while her 326 total kills rated fourth.
Plenty of Awards to go Around
Michnowicz headlined the award winners by becoming MSU’s fourth All-American with an honorable mention selection to the AVCA squad after earning first-team all-Central Region honors from the organization. She was also a first-team all-MVC pick for the second consecutive season and a two-time league player of the week. Norman made the all-conference first team for the third time, something only 16 other MVC players have done. McCartney was the MVC Freshman of the Year along with winning the league’s weekly freshman honor three times, while Thomas won weekly honors twice on the way to an all-freshman team selection. Hackmann was an Academic All-District Third Team member and on the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team, while Melissa Gmur was an honorable mention selection to the MVC’s academic squad.
Stokes Continues to Win
Melissa Stokes completed her 15th season at MSU with a 335-155 record. She ranks third all-time in victories among MVC coaches, and is four league wins away from breaking the all-time record for conference victories. She has piloted the Bears to 12 consecutive 20-win seasons, a longer streak than all but six other schools nationally.

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.

Notes: Since Missouri State began keeping stats for volleyball in 1979, the career records for players who competed prior to 1979 are incomplete. Career percentage leaders must have played in at least 200 sets and season percentage leaders need at least 300 serve or attack attempts. Bold type indicates members of the 2011 team

The Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational has been played since 1985 with no tournaments in 1993, 1995 & 1996.
Missouri State Fall Invitational Until recent years, the Bears hosted a pair of in-season tournaments – the September Classic (later named the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational) and the Autumn Classic (later named the Missouri State Fall Invitational). From 1993 to 1996, Missouri State had just one in-season tournament - the 1994 September Classic. But the Bears hosted the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in 1993,1996, 2003 and 2007 and hosted the Fall Invitational again in 1997 and 2002.
