QUICK HITS • Texas Tech returns to tournament action this weekend as the Red Raiders travel to the northwest to take part in the
Cougar Challenge hosted by Washington State. Tech will face Montana and the host Cougars on Friday before closing the event against South Dakota State and Eastern Washington on Saturday. • Texas Tech’s tournament opener against Montana will be the first of two matches against the Grizzlies this year. Montana, which fell to Tech in four sets a year ago, will travel to Lubbock next weekend for the Lone Star Showdown. • The Red Raiders will be facing a Pac-12 member in a non-conference match for the first time since 2008 on Friday evening when Texas Tech and Washington State meet in a 10 p.m. CT first serve. Tech has only played three Pac-12 schools in non-conference action during the Big 12 era, going 1-2 in those matches. • Texas Tech is coming off a three-set sweep of Abilene Christian on Tuesday night that improved the Red Raiders to 31-7 all-time in home openers. It was also the third-straight season where the Red Raiders opened their home slate with a victory under head coach Don Flora. • Following her 17-kill performance Tuesday night against Abilene Christian, Texas Tech junior Breeann David now leads the Big 12 in several offensive categories, including total kills, kills per set, service aces, service aces per set, total points and points per set. She also ranks sixth in the conference with a .382 hitting percentage. • Texas Tech has found significant success in non-conference action under Flora, who has led the Red Raiders to a 29-8 mark in such matches during his two-plus seasons. Tech is also 24-5 under Flora when taking part in a non-conference tournament. • The Red Raiders opened their 38th season of volleyball last weekend with a 3-1 showing at the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Weber State. Tech followed a 3-0 season-opening loss to Seattle by winning three-straight matches over UC Riverside, Grand Canyon and Weber State to share the tournament title. • Texas Tech earned a pair of selections to the Wildcat Invitational all-tournament team last weekend in Rachel Brummitt and Mikia Mills while Breeann David shared Most Valuable Player honors.

2013 Texas Tech Volleyball RED RAIDERS LOOK TO CONTINUE SUCCESS AGAINST NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENTS
Texas Tech will look to continue its dominance over non-conference foes this weekend at the Cougar Challenge. The Red Raiders are a combined 29-8 all-time against out-of-league opponents under third-year head coach Don Flora, who is also 24-5 during his tenure in non-conference tournaments. Tech turned in a 14-2 record in non-conference action during Flora’s first season in 2011 and then posted an 11-5 mark a year ago.
LOOKING AHEAD
Texas Tech closes out its home-and-home series with Abilene Christian next Tuesday as the Red Raiders travel roughly 170 miles south to face the Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. in Moody Coliseum. The Red Raiders will then host the Lone Star Showdown the following weekend, bringing in Montana, Nevada and Cal State Fullerton for the two-day tournament that begins Sept. 13 at the United Spirit Arena.
TEXAS TECH AND THE PAC-12 CONFERENCE
The Red Raiders will be facing an opponent from the Pac-12 Conference for the first time since 2008 Friday evening when Texas Tech and Washington State battle at 10 p.m. CT in Pullman. Tech last faced a Pac-12 member in a non-conference match in 2008 when the Red Raiders traveled to the Arizona Invitational and fell to the host Wildcats in three sets. This will be the first ever meeting between Texas Tech and Washington State as the only other Pac-12 members the Red Raiders have faced in school history are California (2002) and Arizona State (2007).

DAVID STARTS OFF JUNIOR YEAR IN STYLE
For Breeann David, the 2013 season probably couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. The hard-hitting junior totaled 64 kills during the season-opening Wildcat Invitational and then tacked on 17 more Tuesday against Abilene Christian to up her season average to an impressive 4.76 kills per set while also hitting at a .382 percentage.. David, who led Tech in kills in all five matches, wrapped the Wildcat Invitational by connecting on a career-high 21 kills against Grand Canyon and then 20 against Weber State. The Denver City, Texas product has finished in double figures for kills in all five matches, marking the longest such streak to begin a season for a Red Raider since Alicia Ostmeyer posted at least 10 kills in the first five matches of the 2007 season. David enters this weekend as the Big 12 leader in almost all offensive categories.

FLORA PICKS UP CAREER WIN NO. 300 ON OPENING WEEKEND
22.0 34.0 39.0 33.0 40.5
Texas Tech head coach Don Flora earned his 300th career victory at the collegiate level during opening weekend when the Red Raiders dropped Grand Canyon in four sets at the Wildcat invitational. The Red Raiders are now 4-1 on the year, improving Flora’s overall record to 302-95 in 13-plus seasons at both the University of La Verne in California as well as Texas Tech. Flora, arguably one of the winningest active coaches at the Division-I level, led Tech to 29 victories over his first two seasons after inheriting a program that totaled just 30 wins in the five seasons prior to his arrival. The California native currently ranks fourth among Big 12 Conference coaches in career victories, trailing only Ray Bechard (Kansas), Jerritt Elliott (Texas) and Jim Barnes (Baylor). All three coaches have longer career tenures than Flora, who arrived in Lubbock after two seasons as an assistant at New Mexico State and 11 years as the head coach of his alma mater in La Verne where he amassed a 269-59 record (.820 winning percentage) and led the Leopards to the 2001 NCAA Division III National Championship.

2013 AWARD WINNERS RACHEL BRUMMITT Wildcat Invitational All-Tournament Team
BREEANN DAVID Wildcat Invitational Co-Most Valuable Player
VICTORIA HINNEBURG Big 12 Preseason Co-Freshman of the Year
MIKIA MILLS Wildcat Invitational All-Tournament Team
SETTING THE PIPE(R)
If the start of the 2013 campaign is any indication, Aubree Piper’s senior season could be a special one. The lone senior on the Texas Tech roster, Piper has totaled 40 kills in the last three matches alone while hitting over .350 during that span as well. Piper, who has battled several injuries throughout her career, is Tech’s second-leading offensive player so far this year, totaling 49 kills at a 2.88 per set rate. Her presence in the middle has not just been felt offensively, though, as she has also totaled 13 blocks while adding four service aces. The Amarillo, Texas native has taken 76 swings in the last three matches, totaling only nine errors during that time en route to a .408 hitting percentage. She is hitting .317 on the year, the secondhighest percentage on the team.
OPENING SET USUALLY KEY FOR THE RED RAIDERS
One of Don Flora’s mantra’s since his arrival in West Texas prior to the 2011 season has been to jump on opponents early. Through five matches this year, Texas Tech has been fairly successful at doing so, winning four of the five opening sets so far. Tech is a perfect 4-0 when gaining the opening lead this season and an impressive 27-6 under Flora when doing so as well. The Red Raiders have also never lost a 2-0 lead under Flora, going a perfect 18-0 over two-plus seasons.
MILLS, BRUMMITT NAMED TO WILDCAT INVITATIONAL ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
Rachel Brummitt and Mikia Mills also earned a selection to the Wildcat Invitational all-tournament team after the two juniors helped lead the Red Raiders to a 3-1 showing in the event. Brummitt totaled a team-high 75 digs from the back row, averaging 5.36 per set which ranks third in the Big 12 after one weekend. She ended the tournament with a match-high 26 digs against host Weber State, marking the ninth time in her Tech career where she has reached the 20-dig mark. Mills, meanwhile, connected on 39 kills, second-most on the team, while adding nine digs and 11 blocks to collect her first alltournament honor of her career. The middle blocker delivered 25 kills over the final two matches, including a career-high 13 in Tech’s four-set victory over Grand Canyon. Teammate Breeann David shared Most Valuable Player honors as well.
ENSCH MAKES IMPRESSIVE DEBUT IN UTAH
Texas Tech freshman Courtney Ensch made what seemed to be a smooth transition to collegiate volleyball at the Wildcat Invitational as she connected on 26 kills from the right side while also adding eight digs and five blocks. Ensch, who arrived at Tech from Southlake Carroll High School, had one of the most accurate performances for a Red Raider in recent memory against Grand Canyon as she recorded 12 kills off just 19 attempts. Ensch had only two hitting errors in the match for a .526 hitting percentage, which was the highest for a Red Raider since Lydia McKay totaled the same average on Sept. 14 last year against Houston Baptist. Ensch closed the weekend hitting .327 over 13 sets, the second-highest percentage on the team.
PIPER RETURNS AS TEXAS TECH’S LONE SENIOR
When Aubree Piper looks walks across the court later this season on Senior Night, she will be the only player on Tech’s 19-person roster to receive flowers and framed jersey. The four-year senior, who has started in 52 matches the past three seasons, will be Tech’s leader both on the court and in the locker room for a program that despite returning 12 letterwinners also boasts seven newcomers. Piper enters her senior season with 440 career kills to go along with 174 total blocks and a .242 career hitting percentage. She ended 2012 with a .312 hitting percentage, which ranked ninth in school history for a single season. The Amarillo, Texas native is Tech’s most experienced returner, having played in 72 career matches despite battling various injuries throughout her career.
WHAT CAN BRUMMITT DO NEXT FOR TECH?
After a record-breaking inaugural season in scarlet and black, the best question pertaining to Rachel Brummitt might just be what can she do next? The junior libero shattered the Tech single-season record in 2012 with 510 digs from the back row, finishing with 62 more than previous record holder Melissa McGehee (2000). The Plano, Texas native wrapped the 2012 season ranked fourth in the Big 12 for digs per set (4.32), trailing only Kristin Hahn (Iowa State), Brianne Riley (Kansas) and Maria Fernanda (Oklahoma). A similar, if not better, performance this year would already place Brummitt near the top 10 on the Tech career chart as well as Ginger Carter currently sits in 10th place with 1,092 digs from the 1991-94 seasons. Lisa Hilgers owns the Tech career record for digs after totaling 1,583 from 1995-98 that also ranks ninth in Big 12 history entering the 2013 season as well.
THE DENVER CITY HAMMER
Not shy from coining nicknames, Texas Tech head coach Don Flora has long referred to junior outside hitter Breeann David as the “Denver City Hammer.” Named for both her hometown of nearby Denver City, Texas, as well as her hard-hitting ability, David enters her junior season as one of Tech’s key offensive weapons after she led the team with a 2.77 kills per set average a year ago. David, a six-rotation players normally, totaled 213 digs in 2012 despite missing six matches due to an ankle injury that sidelined her early into Big 12 play. David, who comes from a family of Texas Tech athletes, has also posted 239 digs and 135 blocks over her first two seasons in scarlet and black. Her father, Stan David, was a standout football player for the Red Raiders and eventual 1984 NFL Draft selection by the Buffalo Bills. Her mother, Megan David (formerly McGuire), also starred on the volleyball team while at Tech where she still ranks in the top 10 in most career blocking categories. Her younger brother, Clancy David, is also a walk-on football team currently at Tech.
ALLEN EXPECTED TO BOOST RED RAIDER ATTACK ON OUTSIDE
Like David, Texas Tech is also expecting sophomore transfer Jenna Allen to become an immediate presence on the outside as the newcomer joined the program last spring after spending the 2012 season at South Carolina. Allen appeared in 30 matches while making nine starts for the Gamecocks where she finished fourth on the team with 122 kills while also adding a 102 digs from the back row. Allen is one of two transfers for the Red Raiders from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), joining Lauren Douglass who arrived this fall from Ole Miss.
HINNEBURG NAMED BIG 12 PRESEASON CO-FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR
Texas Tech freshman Victoria Hinneburg was named the Big 12 Preseason Co-Freshman of the Year prior to the season, marking the first time a Red Raider has ever garnered the award. Hinneburg, a native of Leipzig, Germany, is just the third Red Raider to earn a conference preseason award, joining Colleen Smith (1999) and Justine Young (2010) who were both named the league’s Newcomer of the Year. One of the top international prospects in the 2013 class, Hinneburg will give Tech plenty of size and ability for the years to come as she is the tallest Red Raider listed on the roster at 6-4. Hinneburg shared the award with Kansas State’s Katie Brand.

2013 Texas Tech Volleyball RED RAIDERS WELCOME SEVEN NEWCOMERS TO THE ROSTER
Texas Tech welcomes seven newcomers to its roster this fall with three being transfer players in Jenna Allen, Carlie Foust and Lauren Douglass. The Red Raiders also added four freshmen in Katie Daffer, Courtney Ensch, Marguerite Grubb and Victoria Hinneburg. Tech’s seven-player recruiting has been described as the most talented in Don Flora’s three-year tenure at Texas Tech. 2013 TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALL NEWCOMERS Name POS YEAR Hometown Jenna Allen OH SO Lewisville, Texas Katie Daffer MB/RS FR Austin, Texas Lauren Douglass MB/RS RS FR Flower Mound, Texas Courtney Ensch RS FR Southlake, Texas Carlie Foust DS SO Amarillo, Texas Marguerite Grubb SET FR Houston, Texas Victoria Hinneburg RS/MB FR Leipzig, Germany
TECH TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH BOTH ACU AND MONTANA
While playing opponents twice during the season is customary during Big 12 play, the Red Raiders will get to know both Abilene Christian and Montana well this year as Tech is scheduled to play both schools twice during the non-conference portion of the schedule. Tech opens its home slate next Tuesday (Sept. 3) against Abilene Christian and then travels roughly 120 miles south to face the Wildcats again on Sept. 10 in Abilene. The Red Raiders have never played two non-conference opponents twice in a season during the Big 12 era. Tech played both SMU and Grambling State twice during the 1996 and 2011 seasons, going 4-0 in those matches.
RED RAIDERS TO MAKE FIRST-EVER APPEARANCE ON ESPN
The Texas Tech volleyball program will face Iowa State in front of a national television audience on Oct. 30 as the Red Raiders and Cyclones were picked prior to the season to appear on ESPNU as part of the Big 12 Conference’s television schedule for the 2013 season. The match is part of a Big 12 double-header on the network as Baylor and Kansas will face off at 6 p.m. CT in Lawrence before the Red Raiders and Cyclones open with an 8 p.m. first serve later in the evening at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. This will be Tech’s first ever appearance on an ESPN network (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU). The Red Raiders are 20-17 all-time against the Cyclones and 10-8 when playing in Ames.
DOUGLASS TO SIT OUT 2013 SEASON
Redshirt freshman Lauren Douglass will sit out the 2013 season due to NCAA transfer policy. Douglass, a native of Flower Mound, Texas, transferred to Tech from Ole Miss where she redshirted the 2012 campaign while recovering from injury. She will have three years of eligibility remaining beginning in the 2014 season.
RED RAIDERS PICKED TO FINISH TIED FOR 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL Texas Tech was picked to finish tied for seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll that is voted on annually by the conference coaches. It was the highest preseason nod for the Red Raiders since 2001 when Tech was selected to sixth in what was then an 11-team league. The Red Raiders 19 points to finish tied for seventh with TCU while West Virginia rounded out the poll in ninth place. Texas was named the preseason favorite as the defending national champions garnered eight of nine first-place votes to sit in front of Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Baylor. BIG 12 CONFERENCE PRESEASON POLL Rank Team (First-Place Votes) Points 1. Texas (8) 64 2. Iowa State (1) 55 3. Kansas 51 4. Kansas State 41 5. Oklahoma 39 6. Baylor 28 7. Texas Tech 19 TCU 19 9. West Virginia 8 Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team.
BIG 12 CONTINUES TO BE AMONG TOP VOLLEYBALL CONFERENCES
The Big 12 will once again be one of the toughest volleyball conferences nationally this season as the league is boosted by preseason favorite and top-ranked Texas, while No. 15 Iowa State and No. 20 Kansas are also ranked in the top-25 of the AVCA preseason poll. Both Oklahoma and Kansas State received votes in the poll as well. The Big 12 has earned five or more bids to the NCAA Tournament in each of the past four seasons with Texas claiming the national title from a year ago.
