2011 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE
SEASON OUTLOOK Led by a veteran group of three seniors and six upperclassmen, the 2011 University of New Hampshire volleyball team is poised to make a run at an America East title and a trip to the NCAAs. Head coach Jill Hirschinger, who enters her 16th season at UNH, added six newcomers to balance an already strong group of returnees. Hirschinger recently moved into the top 10 in NCAA active coaching wins with nearly 650 wins in her storied career. New Hampshire returns an America East All-Conference selection (Amy Keding) as well as an All-Rookie team honoree (Destiny Tolliver), which should provide a solid foundation for this year’s team. Outside Hitters/Right-Side Hitters: Seniors Lauren Laquerre (Concord, N.H.) and Amy Keding (Northbrook, Ill.) give the Wildcats a veteran presence up front. Laquerre, a co-captain, registered a team-high 318 kills including 3.35 kills per set and a team-best 355.5 points. Keding, an America East All-Conference selection, tallied 297 kills, 208 digs, 62 blocks and 339 points in her breakout junior season. Complimenting this senior duo is the sophomore lefty tandem of Destiny Tolliver (Rochester, Mich.) and Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.). Tolliver, a 2010 America East All-Rookie selection, finished her first year among the team leaders in several categories with 125 kills, 91 digs and 182 points. Tolliver was named America East Rookie of the Week on back-to-back weeks on Sept. 27 & Oct. 4. Thatcher emerged as a viable threat from the right side position down the stretch for New Hampshire. She ranked sixth on the team with 118 kills and 27 blocks, including three contests where she recorded a personal-best 10 kills. Thatcher also registered the highest hitting percentage at .242. Rounding out this group of hitters is junior transfer Desiree Ates (Regina, Saskatchewan). Ates helped her team, Pasco Hernando Community College, to a 36-6 record season and a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championship in 2010. Desiree was selected to the 2010 AVCA and NJCAA All-America First Team and the 2010 NJCAA National All-Tournament Team. Sophomore Right-Side Hitter Middle Blockers: Senior Jessy Dick (Lethbridge, Alberta) anchors things in the middle for UNH. Dick played in nine Destiny Tolliver matches and 23 sets as a junior. She registered 15 kills, 13 digs and 22 blocks over the course of the season, including a season-high five kills and four digs on Sept. 3 against Boston College. Joining Dick are a pair of freshmen Delaney Dameron (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Natalie Decker (Warsaw, Ind.). Delaney was selected to the 2009 5A All-State First Team and was named a Senior All-Star in 2010, while Decker was a three-time All-Conference Team selection from 2008-2010. In 2010, Decker racked up 384 kills, 84 blocks, 43 aces, and 148 digs. Setters: Junior co-captain Jansan Falcusan (Plymouth, Mich.) and freshman Taylor Dunklau (Mukowonago, Wis.) will compete for the starting setter job in 2011. Falcusan served as the backup setter for the last two seasons and appeared in four matches and 10 sets during her sophomore year. Dunklau was a 2010 All-State Honorable Mention and a 2010 All-Conference Team selection during her senior season. She was also a member of the AAU/JVA Nationals Team in 2009 and 2010. Defensive Specialists: Junior Jessie Schnepp (East Longmeadow, Mass.) brings experience to the New Hampshire defense. She registered 139 digs, which was the fifth best on the team, including a pair of 12-dig performances to Rutgers and UMBC. During the season, Schnepp also added 20 aces and was one of the team’s top servers. Joining Schnepp on defense are newcomers Katie Sattora (Avon, N.Y.) and Sam Henke (Millersville, Md.). Sattora was a five-time LCAA All-Star and a four-time Section V All-Star. She helped her team reach the sectional semi-finals all four years (2007-10), including a second place finish in the 2007 sectional finals. Henke, who missed all of 2010 with injury, was the team leader in both digs and kills in 2008 and 2009. She was an All-County First Team selection and a 2009 Washington Post All-Metro First Team member.

In her second year at Delaware, Barnett helped the team to its first appearance at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships in school history. Barnett has also coached with the Seacoast Junior Olympic Volleyball Program for seven years (1999-2006) and now sits on the board of directors. While at UNH, Barnett was the starting setter in three of her four years in Durham and she helped guide the team to the school’s first-ever America East championship and NCAA appearance in 1998.

Hirschinger about Barnett: “Stacy has made an impact since returning to UNH volleyball. As the recruiting coordinator, we have had great success in our recruiting classes. She has a good eye for not just recruiting good players but good players with heart and attitude. Responsible of the setters she really demands a lot from them, not just as setter, but being masters of ‘how to beat the game.’ There is so much more to setting that Stacy takes to another level.”

He received his Bachelorate degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and worked on his Master’s Degree in Exercise Science at the University of North Dakota. Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as Assistant Strength Coach at the University of North Dakota.

He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with very distinct volleyball-specific training philosophies. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Coach Ciani develops individualized training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level, and current athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on how much weight is on the bar or how high an athlete can jump, but rather the health of the player and their performance on the court. The volleyball strength and conditioning program created by Ciani utilizes all facets of training, from basic strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and volleyball-specific conditioning that enhances the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the volleyball player. When asked about UNH volleyball, Ciani said, ”UNH volleyball’s commitment to strength and conditioning is second to none because of their high level of intensity, effort, and innate desire to be better than anyone else.” In addition, Ciani said, “Volleyball athletes have to be able to produce, absorb, and distribute an immense amount of power and to do this they have to physically and mentally be at their best.” In response to Ciani’s training program and coaching style, former volleyball player and member of the 1,000-kill club, Emmy Blouin, comments, “Ciani creates an incredible atmosphere that encourages a strong focus on technique and form, but also brings an intensity and enthusiasm that is unrivaled. The team really looks forward to working with him because of his dedication to personalizing each program to the player and his eagerness for our success.”

ADMINISTRATION D r. M a r k W. H u d d l e s t o n - P r e s i d e n t
Mark W. Huddleston became the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean, and senior administrator. Huddleston has been a strong advocate for increasing affordability and accessibility in higher education, and has argued that we need to rethink much of what we do to protect our core missions, and to ensure that higher education remains vital and financially sustainable in the 21st century. In February 2010, he presented a 10-year strategic plan for UNH, the result of an intensive collaboration between faculty, students, staff, alumni, and the University’s wider communities. Emphasizing innovation and entrepreneurship, the plan is helping to guide the University’s response to a historic state budget cut passed by the 2011 New Hampshire Legislature. “The strategic plan commits us to finding new ways to teach, learn, discover, create, and engage in the 21st century—and positions UNH to become a national leader in the redefinition of American higher education,” Huddleston says. Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family ever to attend college.

Marty Scarano - Director of Athletics The 2011-12 academic year represents the 12th season Marty Scarano has served as the Director of Athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. With a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 95 percent among its student-athletes in 2010-11, UNH ranked highest in the America East Conference, the Colonial Athletic Association and second nationally among all public institutions. The field hockey, women’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s ice hockey, women’s skiing, women’s track & field and women’s volleyball teams all posted perfect 100 percent GSRs while the football team notched a 95 percent mark, tied for fifth-best in the nation in its respective sport. Four Wildcat teams were honored by the NCAA for multiyear Academic Progress Rates (APRs) in the top 10 percent of all teams in their respective sports: football, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field and women’s gymnastics, with the football program compiling the best APR among all CAA institutions. UNH finished second in the America East Academic Cup for the third time in the last four years, achieving a 3.13 cumulative grade-point average. The Wildcats had the highest number of honorees on the 2010 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll and the second-highest percentage of student-athletes on the 2010-11 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. During the 2010-11 campaign, men’s ice hockey, football, the men’s and women’s ski teams and gymnastics, as well as members of men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, all competed in the NCAA postseason. Because of these initiatives and accomplishments, UNH athletics has consistently been ranked among the top of Division I institutions in the battle for the Learfield Sports NACDA Directors’ Cup. This past season, the Wildcats ranked 76th out of more than 370 Division I schools with 242.50 points, which was the best in America East. The Wildcats finished third behind only Connecticut (44) and Boston College (64) in the New England region.

UNH football has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation-leading seven straight seasons and has advanced to the quarterfinals six times in that span. The Wildcat women’s hockey team won the Hockey East Tournament Championship four straight seasons from 2006-09, which also included Frozen Four appearances in 2006 and 2008. The women’s gymnastics team won its first-ever EAGL title in 2003, when the event was hosted at the Whitt, and has reached the NCAA Regionals 10 times in Scarano’s 11 years at the helm. The volleyball team won an America East crown in 2002 and 2003 and went on to the NCAA tournament in those same seasons. The field hockey team qualified for the NCAAs in 2000, while women’s lacrosse made the NCAA tournament in 2004 and 2008. Additionally, 24 coaches have won 61 Coach of the Year awards during Scarano’s tenure. There have been over $9 million in capitol improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. Most recently, as part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new state-of-the-art surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. Additionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 renovation included a new state-of-the-art bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements.

History One of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has long been recognized as a leader in education and research. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, New Hampshire was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The grants were provided to establish colleges to serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. Campus First situated in Hanover, N.H., in connection with Dartmouth College, New Hampshire College moved to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson, a prosperous farmer, bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. In 1923, the state legislature granted it a new charter as the University of New Hampshire.
