2O11 MEDIA GUIDE

BLUE KNIGHT HEAD COACH WENDY CROMER A Shelbyville, Indiana native and a graduate of Ohio Northern University, Wendy Cromer has lived in the Urbana area for 15 years. At Ohio Northern University, Coach Cromer was an All-State selection, a two-time First Team Ohio Athletic Conference selection, and team captain for two seasons. She helped the Polar Bears to a four year record of 136-36, winning four OAC Championships and qualifying for the NCAA tournament all four seasons.

Cromer's teams were ranked as high as 8th in the nation.

Coach Cromer has 19 years of volleyball coaching experience, with 15 years as a head coach. As Urbana University joins the NCAA in Division II, Coach Cromer feels this is an exciting time for the University as well as the community.

"Urbana is a great place to be," explains Cromer.

"The student athletes in our program are quality people and make the experience truly special."

"It is a blessing to be able to see this group develop not only athletically but as people who are willing and interested in helping others. We understand that we are a part of something bigger and it is our responsibility to put others before our individual wants. I am so excited to see what this group will do in 2011," adds Cromer.

Coach Cromer has been married to Hanse for 18 years. She has one step-son, Brandon, in college and another, Michael, who is a senior in high school.

Q&A HOW

WITH

WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF COACHING?

I am very detail-oriented. I run a structured practice of individual and team drills. I am laid back, but I expect things to be done my way and correctly. I will challenge the team and give them positive feedback on their performance. I expect the team to be professional on the court and in the community.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SYSTEM OF PLAY? Our offensive tempo is quick and our defense is relentless. Offensively we will use a lot of crossing patterns and really move the ball around.

We will utilize all areas of the court. Our team unity creates a sense of pride as we focus on common goals throughout the season. One goal will be to lead the state in digs.

WHAT TYPE OF PLAYERS WILL YOU BE RECRUITING? First, a student-athlete wanting to play for Urbana University will have to be a quality individual in the classroom as well as in their communities. We look for All-State caliber student-athletes who will help us compete at the highest level of NCAA competition. We have such strong team chemistry that we make sure new student-athletes are a good fit for the team before bringing them in.

WHAT

IS YOUR VISION FOR THE

2011 SQUAD?

This is an exciting time for Blue Knight Volleyball and this is an exciting team. Everyone has an opportunity to really make an impact for their teammates. The team will focus on communication, respect, and trust. Pre-season will give us a chance to try not only different lineups but different offensive and defensive strategies. The student athletes on this team are capable of playing multiple positions well.

Our goals are challenging, achievable, realistic, and specific. Each practice we will challenge ourselves to become better which will strengthen the team as they compete against our opponents. Making

URBANA VOLLEYBALL

COACH CROMER good decisions on and off the court will continue to be a standard in our program. When everyone embraces their role and trusts their teammates, great things will happen...'All In' and uKnight'd.

WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL VISION FOR THE TEAM (SHORT TERM) AND PROGRAM (LONG TERM)?

My short term goal is to create a competitive team which plays as one unit. It will be important that each student-athlete feel that they contribute to the team whether they see a lot of court time or work to make the starters better in practice. This is always a challenge because we bring in competitors and everyone wants to feel they contribute. All-in-all, I thought we did an okay job with that last year, but this year, it is even more of a priority. This does not mean playing time will be equal but the student-athletes will feel they have been given equal opportunity to earn a spot on the court.

In the long term, we hope to create a program which will compete in the NCAA tournament each year. We want a program that the University, as well as the Urbana community, will be proud of. We want to continue to be involved in the community with charity work as well as skills camps and clinics. This past year, we volunteered for some community events and will continue to do so in the future. We want to be strong role models for the youth of the community and surrounding areas.

ANYTHING

EXTRA YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD?

Urbana University is a great place to work and live. Our studentathletes will be the first to tell you that everyone is sincerely friendly.

The faculty and staff are always willing to help, listen, and support our students. Urbana University is a wonderful community and we are proud to be Blue Knights.

And Go Blue Knights!

DIRECTOR

OF

ATHLETICS DOUG YOUNG On behalf of the entire Urbana University family, I would like to welcome you to our website and the home of Blue Knight athletics. Urbana University is proud to sponsor 15 athletic programs in one of the most beautiful geographic locations in the nation.

Although athletics is an integral part of our campus environment, it is the pride that we take in the development of the total person that we find most rewarding.

With so many college choices available to students today, I am often asked, "Why is Urbana University the right place for me?" Most often, my answer is that the core attribute of NCAA Division II athletics, known as "Life in Balance", is carried out and practiced in all that we do.

At Urbana University it is universally accepted that all students and employees are equipped with a unique skill set of strengths and weaknesses. We constantly seek to accentuate those strengths and nurture those weaknesses in an effort to form a collective unified body of positive results. Our campus-wide slogan of "One Student at a Time" confirms our commitment to knowing each individual on a personal basis. It's what makes success a reality and not merely just a dream at Urbana University.

Spearheaded by our move to the NCAA, we have created a culture of life in balance. This is not merely an athletics-only initiative but one that permeates our entire campus. The core attributes of life in balance are learning, service, passion, sportsmanship, and resourcefulness. Together, these attributes form a collective bond for all that call Urbana University home.

As our campus continues to grow, it is done with the constant mindset to provide more opportunities for student development and increased success. All the while it has provided the very foundation for school spirit, pride, and a will to achieve the very best for our student-athletes.

To be a Blue Knight student-athlete is to be a part of something truly unique and special. I am confident that you, as a student-athlete, alumni, colleague, or friend of Urbana University, will find your time here to be one of the most rewarding, meaningful portions of your life.

If you haven't already, you will soon discover that working together works wonders here at Urbana University. Success for ourselves is found in each other. We invite you to become a valued part of a grand tradition and a unique story of success for yourself and all those that surround you.

Best wishes in all that you do, and GO BLUE KNIGHTS!

Her defense is relentless and she prides herself with not only making the play but helping her teammates find ways to score. She is not the fastest player, but she is one of the quickest.

I look forward to seeing how she adapts to the different competition she may see."

Coach Cromer on Amanda entering the 2010 season: "Amanda is aggressive and she reads the hitters very well. She was able to learn a lot about our defense this past spring and stepped right in filling the void left by two outstanding 2009 graduates, Danielle Miller and Julia Harvat."

BLUE KNIGHT RETURNERS AND NEWCOMERS

Blue Knight Notes: 2011 - Coach Cromer on Chelsea: "Chelsea is a natural leader and strong competitor. 'C' had a fantastic freshman season, and we expect her to have an even greater sophomore season. A middle hitter in high school, she was moved to outside in our system and thrived. Because of her experience as a middle hitter she is capable of attacking anywhere on the net. She has learned to see the block and read an opponent's defense. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her team-first attitude is a great example for all student athletes."

Blue Knight Notes: 2011 - Coach Cromer on Danika: "Danika is a great addition to our program. A 6-foot freshman, Danika is a strong defensive player and will put up a strong block. Not unlike her teammates, she works extremely hard and we are confident that she will fit into our system quickly. Off the court she is unexpectedly hilarious."

Coach Cromer on Chelsea entering the 2010 season: "The team is looking forward to having Chelsea in the program. She is explosive at the net, aggressive on defense, and her enthusiasm is contagious! She is a smart hitter and her jumping ability is impressive. Chelsea will be a great asset to the Blue Knight program."

BLUE KNIGHT NEWCOMERS

Blue Knight Notes: 2011 - Coach Cromer on Katlin: "A 6'1" middle hitter from St. Henry, Katie will have to put her freshman debut on hold for a season. Katie had an unfortunate accident and will spend this season recovering from injury. The team looks forward to Katie's return as she will bring a strong block, quick attack, and a fierce slide. She is a competitor and we are confident that she will make an impact in her sophomore season.

While she recovers she will spend time helping the team in other areas."

Blue Knight Notes: 2011 - Coach Cromer on Kelsey: "Kelsey is a strong, confident freshman who knows how to compete. As a middle hitter, Kelsey will bring a strong block and a terminating attitude to the offense. She brings a variety of shots in her attack and will thrive in our system. We expect Kelsey to add a team-first, but 'give me the ball' attitude to our program."

2010-11 AWARD WINNERS

2010-11 Academic Awards

SENIORS SNIVELY & DEATLEY TAKE HOME 2010 TEAM AWARDS URBANA, Ohio (April 30, 2011) - The Urbana University Athletic Department and Head Coach Wendy Cromer honored the volleyball team's 2010 award winners at an All-Sports Banquet on Saturday night in the Urbana University Student Center. Pictured left are Chelsie Snively (Washington Court House, Ohio/Washington Senior HS) , Coach Cromer and Ashley DeAtley (Washington Court House, Ohio/Washington Senior HS) at the banquet.

Snively, a senior, team captain, and Athletic Director's Honor Roll member, earned the team's Defensive Player of the Year Award. The 5-10 libero led the team in digs despite missing the season’s final 7 matches with an injury. Snively reeled off 4.13 digs per game after returning for a fifth year. Also, Snively led the team in service aces for the 2nd consecutive season, finishing with a team-high 26 aces.

DeAtley, also a senior, team captain and Athletic Director's Honor Roll member, received the team's Offensive Player of the Year Award and the Blue Knight Award. The senior outside hitter was the allaround leader of the Blue Knights during the fall as she played in all but one game. DeAtley was at or near the top of nearly every statistical category for the Blue Knights. In addition to the two team awards, DeAtley was a co-recipient of the Athletic Department's prestigious Female Academic Achievement Award. DeAtley was honored for her completion of the Education Program at Urbana in 3 years after transferring from Wagner College. DeAtley also managed to get married, earn Offensive Player of the Year honors on the volleyball team and work a couple different jobs during this time, all while maintaining an overall GPA of 3.72.

JACKSON NAMED OUTSTANDING MARKETING STUDENT, SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN NCAA FORUM URBANA, Ohio (April 22, 2011) - Ashley Jackson (Lima, Ohio/Senior HS), a junior marketing major and middle hitter on the volleyball team, recently won the College of Business's Outstanding Marketing Student Award. A three-year member of the Blue Knight volleyball team, Jackson has been involved in numerous campus activities since arriving on campus.

Last year, she was inducted into Lambda Sigma (a sophomore honor sociey) which led her to become involved in other campus activities such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Student Ambassadors, the Student Business Association and the UTeam Leadership Council. Being a part of U-Team gave her the option of helping youths sharpen their leadership qualities through a program called the "Shelton Leadership Challenge" during the summer after her sophomore year.

Later, Jackson was also selected to participate in an NCAA forum in Columbus. The regional forum helped prepare student-athletes for a career in sports, providing them with the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge about the expectations of professionals in the athletics career field. Different sessions focusing on resume building, networking, building your personal brand, and business etiquette were presented to help sharpen the skill sets student-athletes already possessed. There were also an intern panel that consisted of current and past NCAA interns who were willing to share testimonials and answer questions. Here's what the junior middle hitter had to say about the forum: "Attending the NCAA's 'Career in Sports' forum was a great experience. Two key note speakers gave their time by speaking of ways we, as a society, can change the world. Getting to bump elbows with The Ohio State University Senior Associate Athletics Director was awesome, but my favorite part was listening to Ms. Nonnie Cameron Owens. She was the etiquette instructor who was wise, funny, and down-to-earth. She engaged the crowd with personal stories that spoke to me as a professional, a woman, and a person of society. Overall, I would recommend this experience to anyone who knows what one wants in life and also those who are a little confused because one will leave with an idea."

Head Volleyball Coach Wendy Cromer remarked, "It is always great to see our student athletes take advantage of opportunities to strengthen skills that will help them in their career and life after sport. I can remember Ashley as a freshman and because she engages in the different programs our campus has to offer she has truly grown into someone who will make a difference in programs and people whom she will come in contact."

Through her participation in all of these activities, Jackson has developed life-long skills that will continue her success as she begins a career after graduation. Ashley is set to graduate in the spring of 2012, and she hopes to continue her education by earning her MBA or exploring the world through work experience. Congratulations Ashley!
