Crimson Court
Utah Volleyball Intro. Preview Coaches The Utes Review History
Top-notch volleyball, a driving MUSS Student Section and band team with a raucous crowd to make Utah’s Crimson Court one of the finest volleyball-only facilities in the nation. One of the most intimidating competition venues in the country since 2000, Utah has racked up a 11719 (.860) home record and has tallied a 66-9 (.880) mark in conference home matches during that span. After a comprehensive renovation project, the court was officially dedicated on Sept. 9, 1994. It was christened with a win over Montana State and a marathon five-set victory over San Jose State in the Utah Classic. The largest crowd ever recorded at Crimson Court assembled on Sept. 25,
2009, as 1,747 fans watched Utah rally from down two sets to defeat BYU. The near-capacity crowd also was treated to a 35th Anniversary celebration and Alumni Reunion. Utah set the single-season attendance record in 2001. The Utes hosted 12,020 fans over the course of 15 matches, averaging 801 fans per contest. The fan-friendly Crimson Court is considered one of the finest facilities in the Mountain West Conference — a league that has quickly earned a reputation as one of the strongest in the country. Not only has it been a launching pad for the Utes’ 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, but Crimson Court has also played host to the NCAA Tournament, entertaining opening-round action in 2001 and 2005.
Crimson Court Highlights Sept. 25, 2009 Head coach Beth Launiere won her 400th career match after the Utes overcame a two-set deficit to defeat BYU in front of a school-record 1,747 fans as the program held its 35th Anniversary Alumni Reunion. Nov. 22, 2008 ‘Championship Saturday’ sees No. 22 Utah conclude its 12-1 home season with a 3-1 win over No. 15 Colorado State to claim its sixth conference championship. Oct. 9, 2008 Kathryn Haynie became the 11th member of Utah’s 1,000 career kill club as the Utes swept UNLV, 3-0. Nov. 9, 2006 No. 9 Utah capped its second unbeaten home campaign (13-0) since 2000 with a 3-1 win over Wyoming. Nov. 4, 2005 Unranked Utah upended No. 12 BYU, 3-0, in front of 1,591 fans. The Utes held one of the most potent offenses in the nation to a mere .172 hitting as they raced their home winning streak out to 12.

Sept. 17, 2004 The unranked Utes upset the No. 6 UCLA Bruins in five sets.

Nov. 30, 2001 The Utes hosted the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament and beat Utah State, 3-1, in the second round to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time. Nov. 3, 2001 No. 15 Utah downed No. 6 Colorado State in ending the Rams’ 20-match winning streak, 3-2. It was CSU’s first (and only) conference loss of the season. Sept. 5, 2000 Utah erased a 2-0 deficit to topple topranked Stanford. The Utes established what was then the school record for assists (93) and kills (97) in a match. Sept. 22, 1995 The Utes snapped an 18-match losing streak to in-state rival BYU with a 3-0 home victory over the Cougars. It was only the Utes’ second-ever win over BYU and it was Launiere’s first.

NCAA Tournament Success Utah Volleyball With 10 appearances in the past 12 seasons, the University of Utah is no stranger to the NCAA Tournament. Since 1998, the Utes have become a fixture in the tournament and have developed a rich history of success in that short span. “Every year we play a nationallycompetitive schedule to prepare for the NCAA Tournament,” head coach Beth Launiere says. “Our goal is to continue to go to the NCAA Tournament year-in and year-out.” The team has participated in the NCAA Tournament 10 times (1998-2006, 2008) and advanced to the second round eight times. The 2001 and 2008 teams both went 2-1 in the tournament, concluding each season with a loss in the Sweet 16. The Utes lost to eventual national champion Stanford to conclude the 2001 campaign, while the 2008 team saw its season come to a close at No. 5 Washington.
The Utes qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 1998 and advanced to the second round in each of their first three appearances. The team’s regional semifinal appearance in 2001 was the first time in Utah volleyball history that a team had advanced to regionals. The Utes topped Texas Tech, 3-0, and Utah State, 3-1, in the first and second rounds on Crimson Court. Utah fell to host Stanford, 3-1, in Palo Alto in the regional. In 2003, Utah was down 0-2 to No. 13 Santa Clara in 2003 in the first round before rallying for a thrilling five-set victory. The following night, the Utes fell in three sets to host Washington. Utah played host to the first and second rounds for the second time in 2005 after winning the Mountain West Conference’s automatic bid.

Utah Volleyball Looks to Regain ‘Formula For Success’ in 2010
Utes aim to contend for MWC title and 11th NCAA Tournament in 13 years.
Intro. Preview Coaches The Utes Review History
Beth Launiere has been one of the most successful coaches in the nation over the past 20 years, putting together a 408-224 record (.646) as Utah’s head coach. The foundation for Launiere’s success with the Utes has been built on three basic but essential principles. “The formula for success is really quite simple,” Launiere said. “We have to win our matches at home. We have to beat the teams who feel we are supposed to beat. Then we have to pick off some big wins on the road along the way, whether it’s in conference or not in conference.” The Utes posted a 17-12 overall record last season and finished in a thirdplace tie with New Mexico in the final Mountain West Conference standings with a 10-6 mark in league play. Consequently, Utah did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in the last 13 years. “The No. 1 thing for us this season is that we have to defend Crimson Court again,” Launiere said.

Heading into the 2009 season, the Utes were 106-16 within the friendly confines of Crimson Court since 2000. Their 11-3 home record last season was solid but spoiled by a pair of losses to conference opponents. “If we can’t [defend Crimson Court], it’s going to be that much tougher to get where we want to be. In past years, we have done very well in the conference when we play well at home.”
leader so they understand what it truly takes to be a leader. They didn’t understand that at the beginning of last year and there were growing pains in that area for them. It wasn’t easy, but we kept working on it and addressing it this spring as well. They’ve really blossomed in that area in the past year. “Those three are very important to our success. We have an idea of what the other players are going to do, but how much more ready and prepared they are will make a difference. “It really comes down to how the players who were on the team last year respond. The offseason was good. They worked hard. When you get into situations like last season, it can be motivating to not reach your goals. It really is about this same group getting it done. We’ve brought in some players who can make us better but it really is about that core group responding to last year.”
Opposite/Right Side Hitter
Bartkowiak and junior Jennifer Lanting will assume the opposite/right-side hitter position for the Utes this season. Bartkowiak earned her first AVCA All-West region honorable mention selection and second consecutive All-MWC selection in 2009. She finished sixth in the MWC with 3.04 kills and 3.59 points per set. In 16 conference matches, Bartkowiak was fifth in the conference-only stats with 3.17 kills and 3.70 points per set. She showed her versatility by posting 12 double-doubles and leading Utah in kills 15 times, blocks three times and digs once.
“A little part of me would like to have Bartkowiak play just front row but she’s too valuable to us to not have her on the court all the time,” Launiere said. “She’s become a primary passer for us. We did not focus on her offense this spring very much. We really focused on her back row play, her passing, defense, and her overall game. She’s so valuable, not only because she’s become a pretty good passer and defensive player, but we want her on the court all of the time because of her intangibles.” Versatility was one of the concentrations for Lanting, who has averaged 1.36 kills per set in 40 career matches, during the offseason. “Lanting had as good of an offseason as she’s ever had here,” Launiere said. “We played Jennifer a bunch on the left side this spring, out of necessity but also to develop her overall game, and it really helped her. She’s becoming a low-error, high-kill player for us. Her blocking is getting better and she’s more aggressive so we’re really excited about the progress she made in the offseason. Where she started a year ago compared to where she is starting now is like night and day. “Last year, Jennifer hadn’t really gotten on the court very much. Now she has a whole year under her belt and a great offseason.”
Launiere welcomes back a solid core of six starters, who will benefit from going through the inconsistent 2009 season and will be prepared to lead a consistent effort onto the floor for each match regardless of the opponent. “We’re definitely more experienced,” Launiere said. “The players’ roles are more defined. We have a number of players who will be returning to the same role, not only position-wise but their individual role on the team, in terms of leadership and offensive and defensive positioning. “The returning players learned a lot last season, especially about leadership,” Launiere said. “First of all, we have three seniors who have started their whole career: Karolina Bartkowiak, Stephanie Neeley and Keisha Fisher. Bartkowiak and Fisher were captains and Neeley has always been a floor
Keisha Fisher is fourth in school history with 1,100 career digs.

Outside Hitter
Junior Sarah Hibbert Collette took a team-high 839 attack attempts last season, her first as a full-time starter. She finished third on the team with 2.38 kills per set and had 13 double-figure-kill performances last season. A young trio of players will supply the depth behind Hibbert Collette with freshman Morgan Odale, redshirt freshman Brooke McAlister, and sophomore Natalie Nichols vying for opportunities to get onto the floor. “Our left-side position is definitely more secure than last season,” Launiere said. “Hibbert Collette will have a big role in the offense. We have Odale coming in, who has a lot of experience for a freshman, and I anticipate that she’ll have a significant role. We’ll see how McAlister is coming along with her knee. She didn’t get as much training in as we would have hoped, but is working really hard. She has a great attitude and hopefully she’ll be ready to go. Nichols works as hard as anyone on the team and improved a lot this spring.”
Middle Blocker
The trio of Danielle Killpack, Miranda Bradshaw, and Erin Redd will pick up the majority of playing time at the middle blocker position. Killpack leads the group after putting together an impressive sophomore season, her first as a full-time starter. She led the MWC with 1.27 blocks per set and hit double digits in kills twice. “Killpack has a year under her belt on the court so she has a lot more experience,” Launiere said. “All she did last year, her first as a starter, was become one of the top middles offensively and top blocking
middle in the conference. She really put together nice numbers for us. “Bradshaw has been working hard and waiting for her opportunity,” Launiere said. “Physically, she has worked really hard to get herself in amazing shape. Her skills have all improved a ton and she’s ready for the challenge. “Redd is another player who comes in as one of the better athletes we have ever brought into the program,” Launiere said. “She gives us a lot of depth and competition in that middle position.”
Setter
Neeley, junior Abby Simmons and McKenzie Odale will coordinate the Ute attack this fall. Neeley and Simmons have been a starting tandem the past two seasons. Neeley is already sixth in school history with 1,946 career assists, 363 assists behind Katie Gesto (1984-86) for fifth place. Simmons ended last season 10th in the MWC with 5.43 assists per set. With two established players already at the position, Launiere enjoys the luxury of having Odale as a capable and athletic backup. “I anticipate using two setters,” Launiere said. “McKenzie had a tremendous offseason so we’ve developed some nice competition in that position. All three setters are pushing each other. When you’re running a two-setter system, having that third setter means you truly have a backup again, so we really have as much depth in that position as we’ve ever had. McKenzie adds a dimension to the position that is pretty amazing. Her athleticism and defensive ability might be the best of any setter we’ve ever had here.
Libero
Fisher returns for her fourth season as a starter for the Utes and her third in the libero position. The senior from Ririe, Idaho could arguably be listed as one of the top defensive players and passers Utah has had during Launiere’s tenure. Fisher had 437 digs in 2009, the fifth-highest single-season total in Utah history. She now has 1,110 digs in her career to rank fourth in school history heading into her senior year. She had 3.97 digs per set to rank fifth in the league last year and had 27 double-digitdig performances last year and has 60 for her career. “Keisha is right up there,” Launiere said. “The most impressive thing is that she has started her whole career and been very good, but still made more progress this offseason than ever before. She absolutely takes over the back row now. Where as in the past we hoped she would [take over] and was getting stronger, now she know it’s her role and everyone around her knows, too. It’s undeniable. She’s in charge back there. She’s going to get it done.”

Newcomers Charlee Dyroff and Nikki Sim will compete for playing time behind Fisher.
Schedule
The Utes will be confronted with a schedule full of opponents from premier conferences across the nation, including Big Ten Conference foes Michigan and Northwestern, Ole Miss of the SEC, Oklahoma of the Big XII, Saint Louis of the Atlantic 10 as well as Pac-10 member Arizona State.
Intro. Preview Coaches The Utes Review History
“The three on the road earlyseason tournaments are going to be a difficult part of our schedule,” Launiere said. “We’ve never gone on the road three times in a row. Certainly, teams have done it, I’m not worried about that. I just want to be prepared. “How we handle that stretch is going to go a long way in determining if we get into the NCAA Tournament. We’re playing a lot of good teams. We’re going to have to get a few significant wins in those three weeks on the road. We can make a strong postseason push because most of the teams we’re playing will help us.” The MWC schedule will offer its typical challenges for the Utes. Utah begins its conference slate with a pair of home matches against Wyoming and reigning champion Colorado State Sept. 23-26. “Colorado State returns almost everyone,” Launiere said. “TCU has established itself and found its niche and what it takes to be successful so they’re going to be consistently good. New Mexico only lost one player. It’s going to be tough.”

Launiere realizes that key parts to the formula are in the grasp of the Utes. Now it’s time to see if success follows. “We’re looking for some of the new players to come in and have an impact, but it’s really up to this returning group to see how much better they’ve gotten from a year ago to tell us how we’ll do this year.”

In 20 seasons as the leader of the Utes, Launiere has been named the AVCA West Region Coach of the Year three times (2001, ‘06, ‘08) and the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year (2004, ‘06, ‘08) of the Year three times. Launiere coached the USA National A2 Program last May at the Open Division of the USA Open National Championships in Phoenix, Ariz. She also served as the President of the AVCA during the 2009 calendar year. Launiere (408-224, .646) took over in 1990, looking to straighten out a team that won only one match in 1989. In her 20 years, she has sculpted the Utes into a top-25 power. Ten times have the Utes qualified for the NCAA Tournament, winning six MWC titles (regular season and tournament combined) and has recorded 13, 20-win seasons. Launiere’s ability to attract top-notch talent has helped take Utah to the forefront of the national scene. She has guided three Utes to All-America honors while eight have garnered all-region accolades. The 2005 freshman class was ranked the eighthbest in the nation by Volleyball Magazine. Many of her players have represented Utah internationally in various US Olympic Development programs. In addition to serving as the AVCA President in 2009, Launiere’s impact on the sport goes well beyond the court. Since 2004, she has guided volleyball on the national stage as a member of the AVCA Board of Directors.
She served a three-year term as the Division I Volleyball Coaches Representative from 2007 to 2009 and prior to that served on the AVCA’s All-America committee for five years. On the court, Utah volleyball reached new heights in 2006. It set the school record for wins in a season (28), set the school and conference record for league wins (16) and became only the second MWC school ever to go undefeated in conference play. The team won a school-record 25 straight during the season and was ranked as high as ninth in the AVCA poll. Led by Emillie Toone, who finished second in the country in blocking, Utah led the nation in blocks (3.71). Launiere was voted both the MWC and AVCA West Region Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. Since the beginning of the MWC in 1999, Utah has won three tournament championships (2001, ‘02, ‘05) and three regular-season titles (2004, ‘06, ‘08). Utah has also been successful on a national level. In 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, the Utes have reached the second round eight times, with regional semifinal appearances in 2001 and 2008. In 2001, Utah fell to eventual national champion Stanford, 3-1. Utah was the only team to win a game against the Cardinal during the tournament. Launiere led Utah to its first national ranking in 2000 after defeating No. 1 Stanford, 3-2, on Sept. 5, 2000. The next week, the Utes appeared in the Sept. 18th AVCA Top 25 poll, coming in at No. 18. Utah earned its highest ranking in school history on Sept. 2, 2002, when it was ranked eighth. Launiere arrived at Utah in 1990 and took over a team that had compiled a 1-32

The Utes were 4-3 in conference road matches. Utah recorded a season-best six-match win streak from Sept. 17 to Oct. 8 with home wins over Air Force, San Diego State, BYU, Weber State, TCU, and a win at UNLV. The Utes extended their consecutive win streak over BYU to four matches with a pair of five-set victories over the Cougars. Utah limited BYU to a .117 in the two matches and also held a 1.50 to 0.90 edge in service aces per set.

Utah’s first win over the Cougars highlighted the program’s 35th anniversary celebration and alumni reunion and also gave head coach Beth Launiere her 400th career victory. Utah has not lost to BYU since Nov. 7, 2007 and has taken 12 of the last 15 matchups against the Cougars since 2003.
Launiere ended her 20th season at Utah with a 408-224 (.646) career record. Karolina Bartkowiak and Chelsey Sandberg earned All-MWC selections for Utah.
Bartkowiak earned her second straight all-conference selection. In 16 MWC matches, Bartkowiak was fifth in the conference-only statistics with 3.17 kills and 3.70 points per set. Bartkowiak served as a team tri-captain this season, earning ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII accolades and MWC Player of the Week honors three times. Bartkowiak ranked sixth in the MWC’s overall statistics with 3.04 kills and 3.59 points per set. In conference matches only, Bartkowiak is fifth with 3.17 kills and 3.70 points per set. Bartkowiak came up with 12th double-doubles. Sandberg earned her first career allconference selection after stepping up to a leadership role during spring practice and served as one of the team’s tricaptains in 2009. For the season, Sandberg tied for third in the MWC with 0.30 service aces per set and ranks sixth with a .310 hitting percentage. She finished her career eighth in school history with 327 block assists and is also ninth in the Utah record book with 347 total blocks.

2010 Utah Volleyball Media Guide
Danielle Killpack led the MWC with 1.27 blocks per set and her 1.39 blocks per set in conference-only matches led the league as well. Killpack paced the Utes with a team-high nine blocks Saturday at Long Beach State. The Idaho Falls, Idaho native also added seven kills. Killpack has led or tied for the team lead in blocks 11 times. Killpack came up with a career-high 11 blocks at Wyoming on Oct. 15. She also chipped in five blocks in an Oct. 6 win over Weber State after coming up with what was then a career-high nine blocks to lead Utah against BYU on Sept. 25. On the attack, Killpack registered a new career high with 11 kills on just 16 swings and two errors for a .562 hitting mark Nov. 21 at Air Force. Killpack also registered three blocks in the match. Outside hitter Jennifer Lanting posted a career-high six blocks and helped the Utes post a season high for a three-set match with 12 on Nov. 14 against Wyoming. She equaled her career high Nov. 28 at Long Beach State. Lanting has led or tied for the team lead in blocks twice this season. In the back row of the Ute defense, libero Keisha Fisher had 437 digs in 2009, the fifth-highest single-season total in Utah history. She now has 1,110 digs in her career to also rank fifth in school history with one more year of eligibility remaining. She had 3.97 digs per set to rank fifth in the league and had 27 double-digit-dig performances this season and now has 60 for her career.
