2009 Season Outlook Coming off the second-best season in school Division I history and the best Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) record in school history, this year’s University of Miami volleyball team has a reservoir of optimism that can be felt around the entire program. Four starters including the libero are back, and that gives the UM coaching staff a reason to think this could be a year towards a charge for the ACC title. Last season, the Hurricanes opened the year with a 13-0 record that included three in-season tournament championships in San Marcos, Texas, San Francisco and at home in Coral Gables. The 26-6 record (14-6 ACC) was just short of an NCAA Tournament appearance, but was good enough for a share of third place in the final ACC standings. With the addition of two highly-touted freshmen, head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch enters her ninth season in Coral Gables with what many seem to believe can rival as one of her best teams ever. “With a lot of people coming back, I feel the attitude of our returnees is one of confidence, yet really having something to prove,” states Lantagne Welch, the reigning ACC and AVCA East Region Coach of the Year. “They want to accomplish a lot of great things.” The loss of two key players from last year’s team, right side hitter Ashley Woods and middle hitter Angelica Ellis, does produce a question mark for the Hurricanes as to whom will step-up and share the load of being a team leader and key contributor on and off the court. All eyes will be on seniors Genny Mayhew and Cassie Loessberg, but the improvement of players such as Lici McGee and Maria Andersson could be ones to watch as well. “Naturally, we have to fill one of our starting middle positions and our right side position heading into the season,” expressed Lantagne Welch. “We have a lot of returning players, and there’s going to be competition at a lot of positions. We are ready for some players to step up and go after the positions. And as always, depth will be important to our success.” On offense, the ‘Canes return senior key attackers in outside hitter Mayhew and sophomore Lane Carico. Junior setter Katie Gallagher also returns, and will once again be asked to rely on her game experiLane Carico ence to play at a higher level in a critical position for UM. The primary passing core of players is senior Cassie Loessberg, Mayhew, Lane Carico and Maria Andersson. “Cassie and Genny have a lot of experience, and a lot of leadership,” expresses Lantagne Welch. “They’ve been on the court for much of their careers, so they know how to handle different situations. That’s good to have. Katie’s been setting for us for a couple of years, and she has experience running the court. Just having someone that has that confidence and experience brings out the best in everyone around them.”

OUTSIDE HITTER The outside hitter position for the Hurricanes was instrumental last season, and the return of two impact players at that position, as well as growth and experience from some younger players returning will only help that much more. Miami tallied the third-best attack percentage as a team in school history last year, staking claim to a .251 clip (1594k-530e-4231ta) on the campaign. This year, the return of the top two kills production leaders in Mayhew and Carico will be vital, while senior Maria Andersson and sophomore Christine Williamson have each worked hard during the off-season to increase their ability at the net. Williamson earned valuable playing experience last season, tallying 30 kills in 26 sets, while Andersson moved around the court more for defensive speed and helping setup the Hurricanes offense. Mayhew (Clovis, Calif.) finished the year second on the team in kills in 2008, and looks to be ready to lead by example in 2009 as a team captain. She also produced 40 assists and 17 service aces last season, but attacking power is unmatched on the squad. She was named as MVP of both the Century Tel Premier and Asics/Coca-Cola Invitational last season, while also being selected to the All-

ACC Second Team for the first time in her UM career. Notably, she added production and consistency last season by increasing her hitting percentage by 30 points, going up to .212 on the year. “We have Genny [Mayhew] coming back, and she’s played a considerable amount in her career, and has a significant amount of experience,” expressed Lantagne Welch about Mayhew. “She’s ready to have the best season of her career. That’s something we’ll be looking for her to have as a senior and leader.” Genny Mayhew Returner Lane Carico (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) had the best freshman season of any to wear an orange and green volleyball jersey at UM. She was decorated as a second team All-ACC selection, in addition to being the ACC Freshman and AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year. She would also make an appearance on the All ACC-Freshman Team after posting a teamleading 369 kills (.217 pct), 32 assists, a teambest 35 service aces and a UM second-best 416 digs. She was also present at the net to record 49 blocks (40 assisted). “Lane is coming off an incredible freshman season,” commented Lantagne Welch on Carico. “Her all-around skills and feel for the game really had an impact quite early in her career. We’ll look for her to add more experience to that, and more of a passing role as well this year.” Maria Andersson (Ängelholm, Sweden) may be an underestimated piece of the outside hitter equation teams may overlook. She did play that position at times in 2008, but moved to the outside spot for good in the spring. In fact, she had some big matches for the Hurricanes in the three spring matches versus FIU, as well as tournaments at UCF and Florida. She was used more for passing last year, but in the spring exploded for kills and experience on the outside, picking that part of her game up tremendously. Christine Williamson (Tampa, Fla.) is a player that entered UM as a highly-touted player from the Tampa area of Florida. Since arriving at UM, Williamson has endured some injuries and minor setbacks to her career, appears ready to make the charge to being 100 percent ready for the Hurricanes in 2009. Last season, she claimed a .237 clip (30k-12e-76ta), while adding seven digs and 10 block assists. “We’re really hoping to have Christine healthy and ready to go, and she could have a big impact on the court this season,” added Lantagne Welch. “With her athleticism and high-reach, getting more game experience could make her an important player for us.” Incoming freshman Lizzie Hale (Menlo Park, Calif.) will also add depth for the Hurricanes this season as she is expected to come in and train at both the right side and in the middle.

MIDDLE BLOCKERS The middle blocker position for the Hurricanes is one in which UM is going to have plenty of depth, returning three players to the lineup. The UM coaching staff welcomes back a trio of players from last year that all earned valuable playing time during the course of the season. “In the middle, we have three players with a lot of experience,” stated Lantagne Welch on the depth available in the middle for her team. “It’s going to be a battle, and I can see all of the players getting in and helping us at different times.” Ready to try and take the reigns as the next great middle blocker at UM are Lici McGee (Warr Acres, Okla.), Arielle Cooke (Oakland, Calif.) and Ali Becker. All three players picked up considerable playing time last season, including McGee’s school second-best hitting percentage for a five-set match (.522 pct) in the championship of the Asics/Coca-Cola Invitational against San Francisco in California. “Lici [McGee] is just continuing to get better and better, and she is primed for a

huge breakout season,” commented Lantagne Welch. Also at the net is Ariell Ariell Cooke Cooke, a junior from Oakland, Calif. that earned valuable playing time last season for the ‘Canes as a sophomore. Cooke is already tied atop the alltime UM record books for most solo blocks in a three-set match (3) from a match against Delaware in 2007. In 2008, she collected 68 kills and 35 blocks (0.62 bps) as she stepped in and immediately provided great stability at the net. “Ariell [Cooke] is a really steady player, and she’s had some key matches for us,” commented Lantagne Welch. “We can see her taking a bigger offensive load and getting more blocks this season. If she can make that happen, then she’s going to be out on the court.” Returning sophomore Ali Becker (Katy, Texas) started off the year red-hot for the Hurricanes as she was named to the Hurricane Invitational All-Tournament Team following a stellar performance in three matches against South Dakota State, Alabama and VCU. On the year, Becker turned in 64 kills and 30 blocks (27 assisted). She was also named to the Century Tel Premier All-Tournament Team in her home state of Texas. “Ali is in really great shape, and she’s ready to have a great season,” praises Lantagne Welch. “She is a very good attacker, and has worked hard on some things with her blocking. That’s going to make her more valuable to our team, and I can see her having a huge season for us.” Newcomer Jenna Berkley (Wildwood, Mo.) comes in off a club season that concluded at the junior Olympics in Miami this summer. As she transitions to the speed of the collegiate game, she will surely provide great depth in the middle for the ‘Canes. As a senior at Eureka High School, Berkley totaled 333 kills to average 3.48 kills per set, while also amassing 105 blocks (80 solo) for average of 1.09 blocks per set. Those numbers would help in her being named Suburban South Conference First Team, as well as a First Team All-District—Class 4-A, District 4, and All-State First Team. She would go on to collect All-Region honors while being tabbed as the team’s most improved player by the Eureka coaching staff.

DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

defensive specialist position are going to be seniors Maria Andersson and Griffin Udelson (Addleboro, Mass.). Andersson has played a regular backcourt role in the past for the ‘Canes, and Udelson has seen time as a reserve defensive specialist since arriving at UM as a freshman. “Maria brings an impactful jump-serve to the team, and some nice quickness defensively,” adds Lantagne Welch on Andersson. “She’s been steadying her passing, and that’s important to have as well.”

SETTER The setter position is one that is under the control of a two-year starter that has only gotten better throughout her time in the Orange and Green of Miami. Junior Katie Gallagher (Winter Park, Fla.) is second all-time at UM in assists (2,445) after just two seasons as the starting setter. Gallagher was named to all three in-season tournament teams including MVP of the Hurricane Invitational. Gallagher finished fifth in the ACC in assists (1,202) while also leading the ‘Canes in assists per set (10.54). She enters the season with a lot of experience and confidence that will only aid in her quest to lead the Miami offense. Gallagher has also been the team’s 100 percent award winner back-to-back years as she gives 100 percent of her emotion, hustle and spirit to the game each and every time out on the court. Gallagher returns holding two of the program’s top 10 single-season assist counts, including the third-highest (1,243 – 2007) and sixth-best (1,202 – 2007) marks in school history. “Katie is now advancing her game to a new level with trying to read defenses and create more and more opportunities for her hitters,” stated Lantagne Welch. “Coming in as an upperclassman now, she’s going to have a lot more experience. She keeps progressing every year.” Newcomer Nrithya Sundararaman (Naperville, Ill.) will also be in the role of setter for the Hurricanes. She enters the program as a highly-touted setter and hitter from the suburban Chicago area of Naperville. During her senior year at Naperville High School, Sundararaman assisted the Huskies to a 34-3 overall record while posting a 13-1 record in league play—finishing as regular season co-champs of the DuPage Valley Conference. She would be tabbed DuPage Valley Conference First Team, in addition to First Team Naperville Sun and Katie Gallagher First Team Daily Herald by the local media/press. “Nrithya will compete at both the right side hitter and setting position,” admitted Lantagne Welch. “She’s had experience playing at both. She’s a huge jumper and dynamic athlete, and can put up a nice block there on the right.”

The defensive specialist position for UM is one that has been solid the past three years with Cassie Loessberg (Sacramento, Calif.) holding down the defensive efforts. Not only did she set a new school record for single-season digs (554) in 2008, but she also moved into second place all-time for career digs (1,424). She enters the 2009 campaign needing just 198 digs to surpass Jamie Grass on the alltime list. Loessberg was named to the Century Tel Premier All-Tournament Team last season, in addition to leading the team in digs per set (4.78), as well as serving up a team second-best 34 aces. She would go on to finish second in assists from her primary libero position with 53. For these accomplishments, and much more, Loessberg was selected as last season’s Team MVP for the ‘Canes. “It’s great being in a situation where you have your libero as a senior and a three-year starter and just one of the steadiest players on the team,” spoke Lantagne Welch about Loessberg. “She’s a rock, and you need that in your passing. She can cover a huge ground defensively, and one of the best liberos I’ve seen out there.” Cassie Loessberg Also seeing time at the

NICOLE

Lantagne Welch This season marks Nicole Lantagne Welch’s ninth year at the helm of the University of Miami women's volleyball program. Under her guidance since 2001, the team has posted winning records in six of the last eight seasons, including a second-place finish in the team's first year in ACC play in 2004. Last season, Lantagne Welch led the Hurricanes to a tie for third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) standings, and the team’s best regular season record since 2002. During the year, Lantagne Welch collected her 150th career victory when the ‘Canes defeated NC State, 3-0, on November 21, 2008. It was just two seasons ago that she posted her 100th career victory in the 2006 season-opener for UM with a 3-2 win over Alabama. The 2008 season was special for UM as the team posted a record of 26-6 overall (14-6 ACC), finishing just one match shy of tying for an ACC Championship. Not to be overlooked was Lantagne Welch leading the ‘Canes to three in-season tournament titles, including a tournament title at NCAA Tournament participant University of San Francisco as part of the Asics/Coca-Cola Invitational in San Francisco, Calif. For those achievements and more, Lantagne Welch was tabbed ACC Coach of the Year, as well as American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) East Region Coach of the Year. It was her first ACC coaching honor, while being the second AVCA Regional honor, collecting the award in 2002 during Miami’s historic run to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Under her guidance, Lantagne Welch would later see freshman Lane Carico named ACC Freshman of the Year, as well as AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year. Carico would go on to be named to the All-ACC Second Team, as well as teammates Angelica Ellis and Genny Mayhew. Carico would represent the first-ever ACC Freshman of the Year coached by Lantagne Welch, while Ellis and Mayhew would become the seventh and eighth players in school history to be named t the All-ACC Volleyball Team. Overall, her career at UM is highlighted in part by three seasons with at least 20 wins (2003-04, ’08) and a trip to the “Sweet 16” in the Hurricanes’ first-ever appearance at the NCAA Tournament in 2002. In her eight years at the helm in Coral

While new records were set during the 2007 campaign, the 2008 season saw even those achievements mastered as Lantagne Welch and her staff assembled one of the best marks in school history. Lantagne Welch led Miami to its best ACC record in school history. It was also the second-best record in school history on the Division I level of athletics. Katie Gallagher moved in sole possession of second place all-time at UM for assists in a career during the 2008 season, while Cassie Loessberg placed herself in second place for digs in a career. In addition, Loessberg broke her own school record from a year ago for digs in a single-season, upping the new record to 554— besting her old school-record mark by two. As for Gallagher, she etched her name once again as one of the Top 10 singleseason assists leaders in school history. Already sitting at third place in school history from the 2007 season where she collected 1,243 assists, Gallagher added to that total with 1,202 in 2008—good enough for sixth place all-time in school history. Freshman Lane Carico broke the freshman record for kills in a single-season for UM with 369, adding her name to 10th all-time for single-season kills. Meanwhile, Miami tied a school-record for hitting percentage in a five-set match, collecting a .329 percentage at Florida State on Nov. 26, 2008. The ‘Canes would also collect the second-best single-set hitting mark in school history with a .615 clip against Boston College in the third set on Oct. 10, 2008. Lantagne Welch would see two more student-athletes graduate following the 2008 season. Angelica Ellis and Bridget Bomhack both earned their Bachelor’s Degree, while Ashley Woods completed her Master’s Degree. Woods placed her name eighth all-time in sets played (367), as well as eighth place all-time in total attacks (1,764). Ellis now ranks ninth in attacks (1,209), while also collecting the third-highest individual single-season hitting percentage (.350) from the 2008 campaign. Overall, Ellis is third in school history in career hitting percentage with a .275 clip through 318 sets and 1,209 attacks. Woods is tied for fifth in career hitting percentage, holding a .256 clip, sitting alongside Ciara Michel (2004-07). The eighth-year head coach also coached three All-ACC Second Team members with Lane Carico, Angelica Ellis and Genny Mayhew. In addition, Carico and Ellis were each named as AVCA All-America honorable mention, while Carico was selected the 2008 AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year. Carico was also the true definition of “student-athlete” as she was named to the All-ACC Academic Team. Miami’s team accomplishments under the guidance of Lantagne Welch in 2008 were plentiful as the Hurricanes posted the first-ever sweep of the Duke Blue Devils, as well as finishing in a tie for third place in the final league standings—the second-best finish for the Hurricanes in their ACC history. The 14-6 ACC record was the best conference record in Miami’s five-year ACC volleyball history. Under Lantagne Welch's direction, a number of other individual school records fell in 2007. In addition to Ciara Michel closing out her career with a UM record 573 total blocks, sophomore Cassie Loessberg and freshman Katie Gallagher both etched their names in the UM single-season record books. Gallagher, who was named to the ACC's 2007 All-Freshman team, recorded a UM-record 67 aces and a UM freshman record 1,243 assists while Loessberg collected 552 digs on the year. Her 552 digs is a sophomore school-best mark, while sitting second in school history for single-season digs. Several school records were also broken during the 2006 season, including former setter Jill Robinson adding to her career assist mark, pushing her own record to 4,937 assists from 2003-06. Francheska Savage led the 2006 squad with 415 kills in her senior season while fellow senior Ann Gallo finished with a team-best 338 digs. In addition to her record-breaking blocks, Michel also led the team with a

Pioneering the First Season On Feb. 28, 2000, then University of Miami Athletic Director Paul Dee proclaimed the return of women's volleyball as the Hurricanes newest fully funded varsity sport at UM. On Sept. 12, 2000, Dee took the next major step in the evolution of the program by announcing the hiring of Lantagne Welch as head coach of the Hurricanes.

A Winning History A native of Encinitas, Calif., Lantagne Welch grew up in a family where volleyball had been a major part of their livelihood. Her parents, Joe and JoAnn, owned and operated a highly regarded volleyball scouting service that evaluated high school players, covering the regions of California, Nevada and Arizona. Lantagne Welch's sister, Jenelle Duvall, was an All-American at the University of Pittsburgh and served as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona and Northern Illinois. She also served as head coach at Metro State College of Denver. Lantagne Welch played at the University of Maryland from 1990-1993. In her role as a four-year starting setter, she guided the Terrapins to their first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference Championship (ACC) title and an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament in 1990. As a top collegiate setter, Lantagne Welch garnered First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in 1992 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;93, and earned Second Team AllACC accolades in 1991. She would also be named AVCA National Player of the Week (Oct. 12, 1993) following an upset victory over Florida State. Serving as a team captain through her final two seasons, Lantagne Welch finished her outstanding collegiate career as Maryland's all-time assists, digs and matches played leader. Throughout her career in College Park, Lantagne Welch accumulated various academic honors including ACC Honor Roll and district academic All-America as a senior. She graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing. For her accomplishments as a student-athlete, Lantagne Welch was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference 50th Anniversary Volleyball Team along with five other Terrapins from teams of the 1990s.

Lantagne Welch began her coaching career in 1994 as an assistant coach on the Maryland staff before becoming a graduate assistant coach at Ohio University in 1995. At Ohio, she developed training sessions for setters and assisted in the scouting of opponents and in the development of game plans. Lantagne Welch arrived at Miami after serving as an assistant coach at Texas A&M. During her three seasons there, the Aggies finished ranked in the top 20 and qualified for the NCAA Tournament each season (1997-99). In 1999, Texas A&M advanced to the elite eight of the NCAA Tournament, compiling a 28-6 record and a No. 9 final ranking. Under Lantagne Welch's training, Aggie setter Jenna Moscovic was named the 1999 Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Year and named to the All-American Freshman Team by Volleyball Magazine. As a sophomore, Moscovic was selected to the 2000 All-Big 12 Team and All-District 5 Team. Lantagne Welch also played a major role in bringing the Aggies back-to-back Top 10 recruiting classes. The 1999 class was ranked in the Top 10 by Student Sports Magazine and the 1998 class was ranked sixth by Volleyball Magazine. In 2002, she married Wesley Paul Welch of Denver City, Texas, in her hometown of Encinitas, Calif. On Dec. 7, 2004, the couple celebrated the birth of their daughter, Riley Jaye and on April 8, 2007, son Ayden Fletcher was born. Lantagne Welch and her family reside in Miami.

teams at Iceland University. Before moving to Iceland, he coached the Chinese national women's youth team, and the Beijing women's team. As a coach, Hou delivered seven players to the Chinese National Team, and six to the Icelandic National Team. As a player, Hou played seven years for the Chinese National Team, including the 1980 which with would go undefeated in world competition but missed the 1980 Olympic Games only because of the country's boycott at the time. Hou earned a Bachelor's degree in Coaching Management from Shanghai Physical Education Institute in 1986. He has two daughters, Lucy and Mary. Hou currently resides in Miami, Fla.

Shanghai P.E. Institute (1986) Second Season Assistant Coach

FELIX

Hou

(Xiaofei Hou) Felix Hou (spelled Xiaofei Hou in its proper Chinese form) is entering into his second season as an assistant volleyball coach at the University of Miami. With 21 years of coaching experience at the university, club and national levels, Hou immediately helped to bring success to the UM program in 2008, and is expected to continue to reap rewards with a team that returns three starters and the starting libero in 2009. He has chemistry with head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch, and the chemistry is showing rewards as UM had one of the best years in school history last season in just his first year as an assistant coach. His understanding of the collegiate game and the game of volleyball as a whole makes him a valuable asset to the staff for Nicole Lantagne Welch. In his role with the UM staff, Hou assists in all phases of the Hurricanes’ development, including working with hitters and serving. He is also heavily involved in recruiting for the Hurricanes, assisting the recruiting coordinator. Last season, Hou was responsible in Miami capturing its best regular season record since the 2002 campaign. In addition, the ‘Canes posted their best Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) record since joining the league, collecting a 14-6 mark. That record allowed the Hurricanes to tie for third in the final league standings. “Felix has been a part of the game for over 20 years,” comments Lantagne Welch. “His knowledge and experience enables him to be an incredible trainer of talent. Technically, he can break down each skill to maximize our players’ performances. He also has the great ability to spot areas we need to focus on to improve, as well as weaknesses in our opponents to exploit. Felix brings a great intensity to the gym to get the most out of our players.” Hou is a natural around the game of volleyball, able to break down film and scout opponents with ability unlike any other. While playing a role in the offensive performance of the Hurricanes, Hou saw Miami register the third-best single-season hitting percentage (.251) in school history in 2008. All the while, helping with the servers whom staked the second-highest service ace total (184) for a single-season—second only to the 2007 squad which had 223. Defensively, the Hurricanes posted the highest digs total (1,958) for a singleseason in 2008, while also registering the highest digs per set count in UM history (16.88). “Felix was a big key in Angelica Ellis having the great senior year that she did,” added Lantagne Welch. Hou, who previously spent nine years as an assistant in two separate stints at the University of Maryland, comes in with four years of head coaching experience at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County from 1999-2002. "He played at the highest level internationally and has coached here in the US for more than 15 years, having great impact in both the programs he has been with," said Lantagne Welch. "We are excited to have him in our Hurricanes program and help us achieve new heights nationally and in the ACC." While at Maryland, Hou served as an assistant under legendary head coach Janice Kruger, the ACC's all-time winningest coach in league history and former coach of Lantagne Welch in her playing days at Maryland.

A four-year letterwinner at Georgia Tech from 2001-2004, Kuhn joined the UM program in the summer of 2008 after stints as an assistant coach at Appalachian State and Florida State. In her duties with the University of Miami, Kuhn assists in player development on and off the court, and is the recruiting coordinator for the Hurricanes. She also serves in a number of areas pertaining to the day-to-day operations of the program. “Laura is involved in every aspect of our program,” exclaims Lantagne Welch. “She keeps everything going smoothly in the office and the energy high in the gym. She heads up our recruiting efforts, and her personable, easy-going way allows her to positively connect with every recruit.” Last season, she helped in the Hurricanes posting their best overall record (266) since 2002, and the best Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) record in school history going 14-6 in league play. Defensively, the Hurricanes posted the highest digs total (1,958) for a singleseason in 2008, while also registering the highest digs per set count in UM history (16.88). “Laura is willing to work as hard as possible to bring great success to our team,” continues Lantagne Welch. “She combines a great attitude with a great mind for the game. Her experiences as a player has her able to relate well to our players, yet still challenge them to be their best.” Kuhn arrived at Miami after a stint as assistant coach at FSU during the 2008 spring season. Prior to her time at Florida State, Kuhn was an assistant at Appalachian State. In 2007 with the Mountaineers, Kuhn coached the Southern Conference Player of the Year, Brittany Zahn, and worked under Matt Ginipro who was the SoCon Coach of the Year after Appalachian State finished 14-2. During her time at ASU, Kuhn trained outside hitters, oversaw defensive systems and passing and handled administrative duties in addition to recruiting.

The two previous years, Kuhn spent coaching A5 Club teams in Atlanta as the head coach of a team consisting of 17-year-olds in 2006 and as an assistant with the 14-year-old club in 2005. During her four years playing at Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jackets won three ACC regular season championships, one ACC tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each of her four seasons playing. The teams advanced to the “Sweet 16” and “Elite Eight” in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Kuhn played the right side position her final three years at Georgia Tech, starting all three seasons. A native of Tiffin, Ohio, Kuhn was a two-sport standout athlete at Calvert High School, where she excelled at both volleyball and basketball. While in high school, Kuhn earned Junior Olympic All-America honors for the Toledo Volleyball Club in 2000. Kuhn earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Georgia Tech in 2005.

2008 Season In Review The University of Miami volleyball team celebrated many things in 2008, among them the 150th career victory for head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch, who finished her eighth season in Coral Gables following the 2008 campaign. The Hurricanes collected a 26-6 overall record, while going 14-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The 26-6 record is the best regular season record for UM in Division I history and the second-best overall record since 2002 when Miami advanced to the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Tournament. Miami’s 14-6 ACC record was the best in its five years in the conference, while enjoying a tie for third place overall in the final league standings. UM’s 16-6 record was a complete turnaround from the 2007 season in which they went 14-17—marking one of the best 40 turnarounds in Division I volleyball history. The Hurricanes started the year leaping to a 13-0 record, stretching a 15-match winning streak extending from the final two matches of the 2007 season. The win streak was the secondbest effort in school history, and the 12-0 non-conference record marked the first time in school history the Hurricanes collected a perfect record against non-conference opponents during the regular season. The closest they came prior to that was 2002 when they went 12-1 during the regular season. Miami finished the year with several firsts, including their first-ever sweep of Duke. UM also posted three regular season tournament titles, including the Asics/Coca-Cola Invitational in San Francisco. Out west, the ‘Canes downed several NCAA Tournament mainstays, including Sacramento State—for the second time on the year, and host San Francisco. The Hurricanes also took the tournament title in San Marcos, Texas, winning the Century Tel Premier Tournament, hosted by Texas State, and the Hurricane Invitational where they played host in Coral Gables. Adding to the satisfaction of the third 20-win season in the Lantagne Welch era were three Hurricanes being named to the All-ACC Second Team in the form of Angelica Ellis, Genny Mayhew and Lane Carico. Carico and Ellis also were named American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) honorable mention All-Americans. Carico would become the true definition of student-athlete as well, where in for yet another year UM volleyball placed a student-athlete on the All-ACC Academic Team with Carico earning the honor.

Bomhack, Ellis, Woods End Careers The 2008 season saw the end of the careers of three seniors in Bridget Bomhack, Angelica Ellis and Ashley Woods. All three seniors were a part of one of the greatest turnarounds in Division I volleyball history. They served as captains in 2008, and led the team in several different areas. Bridget Bomhack ended her career as one of just three players in school history to collect a triple-double (17k, 27a, 10d) coming against UT-Arlington in 2007. She also placed herself on a short list of seven players to end a season (2007) with a triple-triple, earning 283 kills, 311 digs and 149 assists as a junior. She would end her career sixth all-time at UM for assists (260), having served as a backup setter and outside hitter in her career. In 2008, she placed herself sixth all-time in individual singleseason hitting percentage, staking a .312 clip on the year. Angelica Ellis ended her career ranking ninth all-time in attacks (1,209) and third for an individual single-season hitting performance (.350). She claimed 232 kills in 2008 on 483 attacks, adding 69 digs and a career-high 93 blocks. Her career hitting percentage of .275 places her third all-time for career attack percentage, claiming the best mark since 2004. The Texas native is also seated 10th all-time in school history for service aces with 55 under her belt. But it wasn’t just hitting for Ellis that did the trick. In blocks, she is seated fifth in career solo blocks (37), seventh in block assists (227) and a total of 264 (0.83 bps). Ashley Woods ends her playing career at Miami seated ninth all-time in school history for sets played (367) from 2005-08. She is also eighth in career attacks with 1,764. In 2008, she posted the highest hitting percentage for a player in a four-set match, recording a .560 clip at Georgia Tech (Oct. 4). She is tied for fifth all-time in career hitting percentage with .256, sitting alongside former teammate Ciara Michel (2004-07). Though being a right side hitter, Woods is also eighth in UM history for assists, holding 155 in her career. Much like Ellis, Woods finishes her career as one of the best in school history for blocks. She is sixth in career solo

blocks (29) and eighth in block assists (209), ending her storied career with 238 total (0.65 bps).

Carico, Lantagne Welch Take Yearly Honors Freshman Lane Carico and head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch collected ACC honors and AVCA honors following the 2008 campaign. Carico was named to the All-ACC Freshman Team while earning ACC Freshman of the Year. She was also tabbed AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year in addition to being selected as an AVCA honorable mention All-American. Carico’s offense wasn’t the only part of her game, as her defense was just as important, staking her name sixth all-time for digs in a season and as a freshman (416). Lantagne Welch, completing her eighth season at UM, earned her first-ever ACC Coach of the Year award, and AVCA East Region Coach of the Year. For Lantagne Welch, it was her second AVCA award, having received the distinctiond prior in 2002 when UM was located in the Northeast Region.

All-ACC for Three Lane Carico, Angelica Ellis and Genny Mayhew were named to the AllACC Second Team in 2008. For UM, it was the most student-athletes named to the All-ACC Team for volleyball in school history. The previous best was two in 2005. In addition, Carico was selected to the All-ACC Freshman Team.

Loessberg Digging up the Books Junior Cassie Loessberg broke her school-record for digs in a singleseason with 554, besting her old mark by two digs from the 2007 season. Loessberg either holds or is tied for the lead in all three categories for digs in a three-, four- and five-set match. In 2008, she sprinted to second place all-time at UM for career digs, now holding 1,424 through three years. Loessberg is currently the leader in digs as a sophomore and junior, while also staking the top spot for digs per set as a sophomore and junior.

Freshman Outburst Lane Carico had an outburst last year, placing her name as one of the best freshmen in school history. Her 369 kills not only led the team in that category, but allowed her to move to 10th all-time in school history for kills in a single season, while collecting the most kills by a freshman. She is also seventh in UM history for attacks in a season, as well as attacks by a freshman with 1,075 in 2008. Not to be outdone, she collected 35 service aces in 2008, putting her ninth all-time for aces in a season.

Miami won the Asics/Coca-Cola Invitational in San Francisco, Calif.

THIS IS UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

Administration In 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush called upon her healthcare expertise to co-chair the Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors, to evaluate how wounded service members transition from active duty to civilian society. In June 2008, President Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, at a ceremony in the White House. The medal recognizes exceptional meritorious service to individuals who have contributed to national security, world peace, or cultural endeavors.

PRESIDENT DONNA E. SHALALA Donna E. Shalala became the fifth President of the University of Miami on June 1, 2001. President Shalala is an accomplished scholar, teacher, and administrator whose career has been marked by a variety of leadership positions reflecting her interest in young people. While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities. Recognizing that first-rate facilities are a key part of achieving success on the field, last year Hurricanes football embarked in an exciting new chapter with the move to Land Shark Stadium. This state-of-the-art complex offers both players and fans world-class amenities that are unparalleled in college sports. In 1987 President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became chancellor of a Big Ten university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the nation’s largest public research university. In 1992, Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education, and in 2005 was named one of “America’s Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to review college athletics, and has served on the board of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation. In May 2008, she was selected as an Independent Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1993, she was named U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. In 2000, she led the official U.S. delegation to the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful government managers of modern times.”

As leader of the University of Miami, President Shalala presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program has consistently ranked in the top of the polls. In 2001, the baseball team won its fourth College World Series and the football team won its fifth national championship. In 2003, the men and women’s basketball teams began playing in a new, on-campus facility, the BankUnited Center. Other Hurricanes sports, from tennis to track, have also earned national recognition. UM celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Mark Light Stadium at Alex Rodriguez Park and a new basketball training and practice complex in 2009.

President Shalala and mom Edna Shalala.

The Black Coaches Association honored her with its Image of Excellence Award for 2007. As to her commitment to UM athletics, President Shalala said, “College sports are a vital part of our students’ experience while at the University. They also help build community and instill a great sense of pride in our athletes and their accomplishments. The young men and women who play Hurricanes sports are devoted to their game both on a personal and team level, and it shows in their inspired performances time after time. Now it’s up to the fans to show their support and cheer them on to many more victories.” For a sports fan like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than the University of Miami.

Administration Hocutt and Randy Shannon at the Orange Bowl Committee’s 7th Annual Blue Cross Blue Shield Benefit.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS KIRBY HOCUTT

Oklahoma’s annual giving increased from $3.4 million to more than $17 million. That 400 percent increase in annual giving was one of the highest percentage increases in intercollegiate athletics history.

Kirby Hocutt is in his second year as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. Introduced as UM’s Director of Athletics on Feb. 8, 2008, Hocutt began his tenure as the university’s 11th Director of Athletics on June 1, 2008.

Hocutt, 37, came to Miami after serving as the athletic director at Ohio University since 2005. Prior to that, he spent six years at the University of Oklahoma serving as associate athletic director for external operations and sports administration. In his first year in Coral Gables, Hocutt established a master plan for major facilities improvements in addition to initiating the development of a strategic plan for the University of Miami athletic department. He oversaw a number of facility improvements in his initial year, including the construction of a basketball practice facility, as well as upgrades to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the Neil Schiff Tennis Center and Cobb Stadium. For the first time in nine years, a new Ring of Honor class was inducted under Hocutt’s direction, as Edgerrin James, Jim Kelly, Cortez Kennedy, Jim Otto and Gino Torretta were added to the prestigious class of UM football greats. Two UM head coaches – Paige Yaroshuk-Tews (Women’s Tennis) and Nicole Lantagne Welch (Volleyball) – earned Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in Hocutt’s first year at Miami, while UM student-athletes earned 15 All-America honors during the 2008-09 season. The women’s tennis team also became the first women’s program at UM to win an ACC title, claiming the regular season championship after going 25-4 overall and 10-1 in league play. A former star linebacker at Kansas State, Hocutt has a total of 18 years experience in intercollegiate athletics, including five as a student-athlete. At Ohio, Hocutt significantly reorganized the athletic department’s annual giving program. His leadership led to an increase in fundraising by more than 75 percent - including the securing of the second-largest major gift in school athletics history. He also increased season ticket sales in football by 112 percent and in men’s basketball by 50 percent.

Beginning in 1999, Hocutt served in a leadership position in the strategic planning for a $100 million capital campaign. The $120 million campaign was unique in that it focused on facility construction or improvements for each of Oklahoma’s 20 sports. Prior to joining the Oklahoma staff, Hocutt served as the assistant director of licensing at the NCAA. In that position, he worked with corporate partners and licensees to create new revenue producing initiatives to support and promote all 81 NCAA championships. He began his career in sports administration as the assistant director of marketing and promotions at Kansas State University. While at Kansas State, he implemented revenue-producing activities for the athletics department, including corporate partner sponsorships and ticket sales. Hocutt was a four-year letterman at linebacker at KSU, leading the Big 8 Conference in tackles and earning All-Big 8 Conference team honors as a junior. In 1993, The Sporting News selected him as one of the top 20 underrated players in the nation. Hocutt also served as a team captain his senior season. Two of Hocutt’s coaches at Kansas State were Bob Stoops, head football coach at Oklahoma and Jim Leavitt, the head football coach at USF.

In his three years at Ohio, the school won 11 team championships and four head coaches were recognized as conference Coaches of the Year. In 2006, the football team played in its first bowl game in 38 years.

A member of the Orange Bowl Committee, Hocutt was also named to the Miami-Dade Sports Commission Board of Directors on Oct. 1, 2008.

At Oklahoma, Hocutt was the primary administrator for football and the sport supervisor for baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis. His duties included supervision of He earned his bachBrooks, Diane, Drew and Kirby Hocutt the athletics development office, athletics ticket elor’s degree from office, special events, stadium suite program, athKansas State letics endowment program, letter winners associaUniversity in 1995 tion and the department’s facility use and rental program. and his master’s of education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2001.

Compliance FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. YOU ARE NO LONGER A PROSPECT IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) Officially register and enroll in a minimum full-time program of studies and have attended classes in any four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or (2) Participated in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (3) Officially register and enrolled and attend classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment and receive institutional athletics aid. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your family, to attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Coaches and authorized institutional staff members are the only individuals who may recruit you. Representatives of athletic interests (boosters) may not call, write or make in-person contact with you anywhere for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and participating in athletics. WHEN CAN A COACH CONTACT ME? OFF CAMPUS CONTACT In the sport of basketball, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning the first day of classes of your senior year. In all other sports, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning July 1 after your junior year. TELEPHONE CALLS In all sports other than football and basketball, a coach may call a prospect one time per week after July 1 following the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of football, a coach may initiate one telephone call to a prospect between April 15th and May 31st of the prospect’s junior year. Additional calls are not permitted prior to September 1st of the beginning of the prospect’s senior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month from June 15 of the prospect’s sophomore year through July 31 of the junior year. Beginning August 1 of the senior year a coach may make two telephone calls per week. Only one call per week may be made to a two-year or four-year college prospect. In the sport of women’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month during the months of April (on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Final Four) and May of the prospect’s junior year in high school, one telephone call between June 1 and June 20 and one telephone call between June 21 and June 30 of the prospect’s junior year in high school. Three telephone calls to a prospect are permitted during the month of July, with no more than one call per week. In the following circumstances unlimited calls to a prospect are permitted: (1) during the five days immediately preceding an official visit to the University of Miami, (2) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent and the two days following the signing date, and (3) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect For all sports, coaches may receive telephone calls placed by a prospect at the prospect’s expense at anytime, including before July 1 following the prospect’s junior year in high school. LETTERS In sports other than men’s basketball, letters and recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1 at the beginning of your junior year in high school. In men’s basketball, recruiting materials may be provided starting June 15 at the conclusion of the prospect’s sophomore year.

WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. WHAT CAN A SCHOOL OFFER ME TO ATTEND THEIR UNIVERSITY? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements such as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend a NCAA school. A University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the University of Miami but this renewal is not guaranteed. In addition, they can offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete for one of the nation’s top programs. WHAT CAN I DO DURING THIS PROCESS? Enjoy your high school years and work hard both in the classroom and in your sport. At the beginning of your junior year you should sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school guidance office can provide you with the information to register. A DIVISION I INSTITUTION MAY PROVIDE A RECRUIT WITH THE FOLLOWING PRINTED MATERIALS: • General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and institutional note cards; • Game programs, which may not include posters, and one Student-Athlete Handbook; • NCAA educational information; • Pre-enrollment information subsequent to signing a National Letter of Intent with the university; • One athletic publication (e.g., media guide or recruiting brochure); • Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or videos produced by the institution and available to all students; • Schedule and business cards; • Questionnaires which may be provided prior to your junior year; and Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year.

ACC Tradition of Excellence The Tradition Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high JOHN D. level of consistency. SWOFFORD Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference ACC has defied the odds. Now, in its 57th Commisioner year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 114 national championships, including 60 in women’s competition and 54 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC studentathletes 257 times. The year 1980 marked the inception of volleyball in the ACC and conference play began in 1981. Now entering its 29th season of play, the league has seen its member institutions enjoy great success from both academic and athletic perspectives. Duke University’s Rachael Moss headed a list of 10 volleyball student-athletes who earned ESPN The Magazine Academic honors. A second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American®, Moss was joined by the University of Virginia’s Lauren Dickson as a first-team Academic All-District III, and eight more who garnered second- or third-team All-District III accolades. Clemson University’s Danielle Hepburn was the only ACC student-athlete to receive All-America status with a third-team selection by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Nine more took Honorable Mention accolades in addition to All-East Region honors. The University of Miami highlighted the AVCA East Region as Lane Carico was selected as the East Region Freshman of the Year and seventh-year head coach Nicole Lantagne was picked as the East Region Coach of the Year. The ACC again proved to be the nation’s premier athletic conference both academically and athletically. 2008-09 in Review The 2008-09 academic year saw league teams capture five national team titles and 20 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 47 national team titles over the last 13 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 27 of the past 29 years. A total of 128 ACC teams placed in NCAA postseason competition in 2008-09. League teams compiled a 139-84-1 (.623) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition. In addition, the ACC had 198 student-athletes earn first team All-America honors this past year. Overall, the league had 266 first-, second-, or third-team All-Americans and the ACC produced nine national Players of the Year and five national Coach of the Year honorees. A total of 88 teams finished their respective seasons ranked in the Top-25 poll, including 33 teams ranked in the Top 10 and six teams that held the nation’s top spot.

The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play. A History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation.The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.
