2015 Missouri State Season Outlook

Optimism Surrounds Young Bears With Big Goals Don’t let the fact that Missouri State’s 2015 volleyball roster contains 11 freshmen and sophomores and just four upperclassmen fool you. Head Coach Melissa Stokes’s 20th MSU squad is loaded with talent and experience despite its age. The Bears are picked to finish second in the always-tough Missouri Valley Conference, and have high hopes of returning to the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time since 2003.

Skill

at

Setter

Senior Kinsey Batten (Springfield, Mo.)begins her second season as MSU’s setter after ranking 15th nationally with 1,363 assists in her debut as a junior. That figure also ranked seventh in MSU history as she led the Bears to a .236 attack efficiency. The former Kinsey McCarter, who married in the offseason, enters the 2015 campaign playing the best volleyball of her career according to Coach Stokes. Sophomore Lauren Boone (Branson, Mo.) serves as a more-thancapable backup while providing the Bears with additional offensive versatility. Boone recorded 58 kills, 36 assists, 26 digs and 18 blocks in 55 sets played as a true freshman, and nearly had a triple-double at MVC champion Illinois State late in the season.

Deep, Talented Group

of

Hitters

Lily Johnson (Wildwood, Mo.) leads a powerful group of hitters after becoming MSU’s sixth All-American and first freshman to receive that distinction last season. The MVC Freshman of the Year in 2014, Johnson set MSU rookie records with 495 kills and a 3.99 per set average, recording at least 20 kills in seven separate matches. Despite her lofty numbers, Johnson continues to refine her game as she looks to improve as a sophomore. Simone House (Oshkosh, Wis.) is the elder statesman of the group as

a fourth-year junior, and led Missouri State in blocking in each of her first two seasons with 153 total stuffs and a 0.93 per set average for her career. A member of the MVC’s allFreshman Team in 2013, House has earned high blocking honors for MSU in 28 of 46 career matches, and looks to continue that trend in 2015 while adding an expanded offensive game to her repertoire. Sophomore Lynsey Wright (Glen Carbon, Ill.) earned allfreshman honors from the league last season after averaging 2.22 kills and 0.62 blocks per set while hitting .291. A dynamic athlete, Wright’s jumping ability and quickness will make her a force for the Bears. Redshirt freshman Caroline Finnell (Chesterfield, Mo.) Senior Kinsey Batten will start at setter for a second consecutive season spent her first season on campus working hard and is one of MSU’s in the middle.

Head Coach Melissa Stokes 20th year San Diego State (1991)

Now entering her 20th season as head coach at Missouri State, Melissa Stokes has posted a 414-202 record (a .672 winning percentage) and is the Missouri Valley Conference’s all-time winningest coach in league matches with 242 MVC victories. Stokes set the MVC wins record at Bradley on Sept. 30, 2011, to kick off an historic two-week stretch that included her 200th MVC win on Oct. 14 and her 350th overall victory the next night. She added her 400th career victory against Miami on Sept. 13, 2014, becoming the 46th active head coach to reach that milestone, and joining just three other active coaches to have 400 wins and less than 20 full seasons of experience. Stokes has taken Missouri State to seven NCAA Tournaments during her tenure, all in the last 12 seasons, and the Bears have finished at least second in either the Missouri Valley Conference regular season or tournament in 10 of the last 14 seasons. Missouri State has won at least 20 matches in 15 of the last 16 seasons, helping Stokes to her No. 3 ranking in total victories in MVC history. Stokes’s 19th season in 2014 was highlighted by a pair of first-team all-conference outside hitters in Olivia Brand and Lily Johnson, with Johnson becoming the program’s sixth All-American, and first freshman to do so, as an honorable mention AVCA choice. MSU hit the 20-win mark again in 2013, finishing the season 21-11 while ranking 51st or better in the NCAA in assists, digs and kills per set. Senior setter Carly Thomas also became the program’s fifth All-American, earning honorable mention honors for the AVCA. The 2011 Bears went 22-9 and placed second in the MVC with a 15-3 league mark to earn an NCAA at-large selection.

Senior Calli Norman finished her career as the third player in MVC history to earn first-team all-MVC recognition four times, while Carly Thomas led the MVC in assists as an AVCA all-Region choice. The Bears made a return to the NCAA Tournament in 2010, going 21-10 overall and 12-6 in perhaps the toughest MVC field ever.

MOATS Director of Athletics Seventh Year at Missouri State

M

issouri 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.   During Moats’ tenure at MSU, he has hired seven head coaches, while leading the charge for facility upgrades totaling nearly $22 million, including the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Academic Achievement Center project, the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex and new or renovated home facilities for 12 of MSU’s 17 sports. During the 2013-14 academic year, he helped spearhead the passage of the Bear Experience and Recreation (B.E.A.R.) Fee, which now generates $1.4 million annually toward the enhancement of four separate athletics facilities, including Robert W. Plaster Stadium, a new sand volleyball facility, as well as the Betty & Bobby Allison North (field hockey) and South (soccer, track and field) Stadiums currently used by MSU’s intercollegiate and recreational programs.. In addition to being able to implement several facets of Missouri State’s longrange athletics facilty improvement plan through the B.E.A.R. Fee, Moats’ played a pivotal role on the task force that paved the way for the reinstatement of women’s tennis as a varsity sport in September 2013. As a result of the task force’s careful evaluation and recommendation, President Clif Smart announced the return of women’s tennis for the 2014-15 academic year, making it the 11th women’s sport and the 17th varsity program to operate under the MSU Athletics umbrella. Missouri State’s decision to revive the program after an eight-year hiatus will ensure the University’s long-term compliance with Federal Title IX regulations. 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 partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (now Learfield Sports), announced in February 2010. 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. In 2011-12, Moats’ third year at the helm, Missouri State enjoyed its finest campaign in nearly a decade, capturing the Missouri Valley Conference All-Sports Trophy for just the fourth time. The Bears won Valley titles in women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and field, women’s basketball and women’s golf that year along with a co-championship in men’s soccer. Additionally, four MSU teams advanced to postseason play, including NCAA Tournament appearances for the Bears’ volleyball, women’s golf and baseball programs. Moats’ efforts helped make the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex a reality during the 2012-13 academic year. The $3.7 million construction project, completed in December 2013, features state-of-the art locker rooms, training facilities, offices

2014 Missouri State Season Review

Missouri State Logs Another Successful Year Bears notch 16th consecutive winning season, reach 20-win plateau The Missouri State volleyball Bears were once again a force in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2014, posting their 16th consecutive winning season and reaching the 20-win mark for the 15th time during those 16 seasons. Led by a pair of all-conference outside hitters who combined for nearly 900 kills, the Bears finished 20-12 overall and 12-6 in MVC play while coming up just short of playing for a league tournament title.

Solid Non-Conference

The Bears played their customary challenging non-conference schedule and fared well, posting a 7-5 record. MSU opened the year in Salt Lake City, dropping a 3-0 contest to New Mexico State in the Aug. 29 opener. The Bears fell in five sets to Utah the next day, despite 15 kills from Lynsey Wright, but rebounded later that afternoon as Lily Johnson slammed 19 kills in a sweep of Montana State in the first of many stellar performances during her freshman season. The Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational at Hammons Student Center began Sept. 4 with a 3-1 victory against Oral Roberts, and MSU went 3-1 in the event with a loss to Western Kentucky and additional wins over Incarnate Word and Milwaukee. Johnson and Kinsey McCarter earned

all-tournament recognition, while Simone House hit .458 and averaged 1.31 blocks per set in the four matches for MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Missouri State faced three NCAA Tournament teams over the next week, beginning with a 3-2 loss at Kansas State on Sept. 8. Johnson smashed 23 kills against the Wildcats, then matched the MSU freshman record with 26 on Sept. 12 in a five-set victory over Ball State in Wisconsin. The Bears put a scare into fourth-ranked Wisconsin the following day in a 3-1 loss, and swept NCAA-bound Miami to close the tournament and hand Melissa Stokes her 400th victory at Missouri State. Olivia Brand and Johnson earned alltournament honors as the Bears finished second in Wisconsin. Missouri State added a 3-0 Lily Johnson earned All-America honors from the AVCA road win over Southeast Missouri State sets in Springfield, and that remained on Oct. 13 to conclude its non-conference MSU’s only October loss until a 3-1 road slate. setback to those same Panthers on Halloween.

The Bears bounced back to sweep Evansville on Senior Night, holding the Purple Aces to 13 points or fewer in each set, and pushed Illinois State to five sets in a Nov. 21 loss that served as a precursor to a classic MVC Tournament match just a week later. Missouri State closed the regular season with another five-setter, this time a victory at Indiana State that included 23 kills from Brand and 26 digs from Maddy Hogan, placing MSU fourth in the league standings at 12-6. The Bears opened MVC Tournament play on Thanksgiving Night, avenging a loss to SIU from two weeks earlier with a thorough domination of the Salukis.

Missouri Valley Conference The Missouri Valley Conference, the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference, continues to be a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences, celebrating its 109th season in 2015-16. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, placing a high value on league harmony, while continuing to invest in athletic programs to compete at the highest level. The Valley brand remains very strong, both regionally and nationally, and the great athletic tradition of The Valley remains a compelling force in recruiting student-athletes and in marketing all the MVC programs. Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. In 2015, Wichita State (14) and UNI (11) represented the league in the final Associated Press rankings and gave the league its first same-season pair of 30-win teams in Valley history. Both teams played in the NCAA Tournament, and Wichita State reached the Sweet 16. The Valley had the nation’s best postseason winning percentage (.824) as the league’s five post-season qualifiers combined for a 14-3 record, which including post-season tournament championships by Evansville (CollegeInsider.com Tournament) and Loyola (College Basketball Invitational). All five teams won at least one game. Wichita State’s Sweet 16 run included victories over storied programs Indiana and Kansas and marked the sixth MVC team to reach the Sweet 16 in the past 10 years. 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 the conference. In women’s basketball, Wichita State won a school-record 29 games en route to a third-straight NCAA Tournament berth. The Shockers were joined by Drake (WNIT) Missouri State (WNIT) and UNI (WNIT) in post-season play. Meanwhile, the Conference remains committed to keeping the tournament at a Bradley neutral site. Establishing a neutral site remains a huge part of the overall efforts Peoria, Illinois to improve women’s basketball in The Valley. The women’s tournament, tagged “Hoops in the Heartland,” will compete in the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill., Drake for the first time in 2016 as part of a multi-year agreement to conduct the league’s Des Moines, Iowa post-season tournament at a neutral site in the Quad Cities. In baseball, The Valley had one of its most successful seasons to date, as Evansville three league teams were selected to play in the NCAA Tournament for just the Evansville, Indiana sixth time in MVC history. Regular-season and MVC Tournament Champion Missouri State was joined by at-large qualifiers Bradley and Dallas Baptist. MSU Illinois State and DBU both hosted an NCAA Regional, marking the first time the league has Normal, Illinois had two hosting sites in the same season, and the Bears became the first national seed for The Valley, earning a No. 8 overall seed. Dallas Baptist won three games, Indiana State Bradley won its first NCAA game since 1956, and Missouri State fell one game Terre Haute, Indiana short of reaching the College World Series, losing a winner-take-all-game to Arkansas in the Super Regional in Fayetteville, Ark. Missouri State ended the Loyola year with a school-record 49 victories. Chicago, Illinois Meanwhile, the success of The Valley television package is one of the great stories in the league. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a Missouri State revenue-generating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. Also, Springfield, Missouri The Valley continues to be proactive in upgrading the production and marketing of both institutionally-produced and conference-produced events. UNI In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in Cedar Falls, Iowa television media and tournament 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 sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising. Carbondale, Illinois During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured Wichita State commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. From 1998-2010, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA Wichita, Kansas tournament events in that 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. In 2014, The Valley hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and in 2013, the league hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event in Kansas City and previously assisted with preliminary round men’s events in both 2008 and 2012 in Omaha. In 2016, The Valley will once again be hosting an NCAA event in March, as it entertains a first- and second-round men’s basketball event in Scottrade Center. The seeds for the creation of the conference 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. This season, the league will conduct its 104th outdoor track and field championship, its 97th tennis championship, its 61st baseball tournament, and its 77th golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (56 years), indoor track (64), men’s soccer (24), women’s soccer (18), and swimming and diving (21), have helped solidify The Valley as one of the nation’s most respected conferences League members include Bradley, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Loyola Chicago, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois Edwardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer; Dallas Baptist is an affiliate member for baseball; Arkansas-Little Rock is an affiliate member in women’s swimming and diving; and Hartford, UMBC and Stony Brook compete as affiliate members in men’s tennis.

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

There have been 27 times that a 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.

FINAL FOUR: CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., is the host site for the NCAA Division I championship. The national semifinals are slated for Thursday, Dec. 17, with the title match on Saturday, Dec.19. A year ago, Penn State beat Stanford in the semifinals and BYU in the finals to claim the national title. MISSOURI STATE IN THE NCAA: The Bears have appeared in the NCAA Tournament 10 times. The Bears earned an at-large berth in 1982 and lost in four games at Texas in the first round. In 1990, Missouri State won the Gateway automatic bid and fell in three games at Hawaii. In 1993, the Bears collected the MVC automatic berth and lost in three games to Illinois. In 2003, the Bears returned to the Tournament but lost in four to Arkansas at Manhattan, Kan. In 2005, the Bears won the MVC Tournament to clinch the automatic berth, falling at Missouri in the first round. In 2006, the Bears broke through with the program’s first NCAA win, defeating Arkansas 3-1 in the first round before falling 3-0 to Oklahoma. MSU made it three in a row in 2007, losing to Oregon in the first round as one of a record four MVC teams included in the field. In 2008, Missouri State fell to UAB in the first round, while the Bears fell to another Alabama school, Auburn, in 2010 as the MVC matched its 2007 record of four bids. The Bears fell to 15th-seeded Pepperdine in the 2011 first round. The current MVC membership has an 24-49 mark in NCAA volleyball competition after Illinois State qualified last year.

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.

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 threemeter 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, 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.

Completed in 1976 at a cost of $5.5 million, Hammons Student Center is home to Bears volleyball and seats nearly 9,000 fans. 92 Missouri State State University University missouristatebears.com 92 Missouri
