MISSION STATEMENT Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education. A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University. Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS ROB FOURNIER
Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University on 1 September 2000, a lot has changed. In those 13 years, the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, community outreach initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic campus has seen a significant transformation. That development has followed a strategic plan that models business forecasting and has realized defined goals/objectives. The results are well-documented. That competitive success is evident in WSU’s national standing against all Division II institutions. WSU’s 12 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 12 years including the two highest marks ever in the past five years – 11th in 2009 and 21st in 2010. Those respective finishes secured an unprecedented top four and top seven percent ranking among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Nine of 17 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In the past 12 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings. Additionally, in those 13 years, 38 WSU coaches have been named Conference Coach of the Year while four have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. In 2012, the women’s swimming and diving program won the first national title since women’s fencing in 1989. Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the Division II national championship game. During Fournier’s tenure at WSU, Warrior athletic teams have won 28 conference regular-season titles, seven league tournament titles and six post-season regional, super regional or national titles. For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008. Last year WSU had twenty-seven (27) All-Americans. In the past 10 years, 260 Warriors have been named AllAmericans, the most in any decade. In the 96 years of WSU Athletics, 291 of the 512 all-time All-Americans have been so honored since 2000. Another strategic measurement continues to be noteworthy. The 2012-13 academic year continued both academic achievement and community volunteerism. The Winter (2013) term’s cumulative grade-point average for
all student-athletes was 3.02. Fourteen of WSU’s sixteen athletic programs (women’s indoor and outdoor track is counted as one) have cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00 with a composite cumulative GPA of all WSU student-athletes at 3.13. In addition, in only nine months, WSU student-athletes contributed an exemplary 9,766 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. In the past five years alone, student-athletes have committed 38,422 community service hours with such programs as Habitat For Humanity, University Prep Elementary, Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Warming Center, Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Basket, Basic Needs Drive, Be The Match Donor Registry, Covenant House Michigan, NSO (Neighborhood Service Organization), SOCKS in the City, L.I.N.K. Mentoring (Local Intervention Network for Kids, S.M.A.R.T.S. Mentoring, Big Brother Big Sisters, Make-A- Wish Foundation, COTS, Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest, Gleaners Food Bank and Manhood Mentoring Project to name only some of the programs. The conference recognized those achievements with last year’s unprecedented association’s honor of the Sportsmanship Award and Community Service Award. The rise in both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 30 percent higher than the comparable campus population. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001 and combines a salute to the University’s faculty. Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate
support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes including the addition of women’s indoor and outdoor track. In his 13 years, he has secured $11,080,139 in revenue excluding an additional 1.374 million in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous
“Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball locker room and coaches offices, along with a grandstand, walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf football field; a new outdoor track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment areas; and new USTA outdoor tennis courts with scoreboard. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well. Fournier added a radio and statewide television package to WSU media outreach. He also added the athletic department’s first website, a quarterly magazine (Warrior Within) and a weekly coach’s show (Winters on Wednesdays). He also directs and oversees the University’s intramural and club sport programs and the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center. Furthermore, Wayne State is the only school in the country to designate a week of activities to promote Women’s Athletics as “W” Week will be having its fifth annual celebration in April 2014 highlighted by “W” Day. Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. He also spent three seasons on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as a member of the GLIAC Finance Committee, while also serving on the infractions committee, scheduling committee and long range budget planning committee. He also chairs the awards committee. Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament. He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest post-season Bowl alignment.

SEASON PREVIEW WITH COACH NICKEL
Q: What did you take away from the 2012 team in regards to the program’s development? A: The 2012 season showed that we can compete with anyone in the conference. We started 7-0 in GLIAC play before hitting a rough patch in the middle of the season. We rebounded to play well in the GLIAC Tournament. We have to develop more consistency and a higher level of expectations. We can’t be satisfied being 7-0 or making the GLIAC Tournament. Everyone has to want more for the program. Q: What excites you about this roster and the 2013 season? A: We have a strong nucleus returning, with a really exciting freshmen class coming in. We will have good size, be very athletic, and should be a lot of fun to watch. We have 10 players coming back with significant experience, including two outside hitters, two middles, and our entire defensive specialist group. With the addition of the newcomers, we think this should be a great season. Q: Obviously Kristen Bulkiewicz is a leader on the court after a fantastic 2012 season. What
10 | WARRIOR VOLLEYBALL 2013 MEDIA GUIDE
does she bring to the table? A: Kristen has established herself as one of the top outside hitters in the conference over the last two seasons. She is a big hitter and an excellent blocker. This year, she is going to need to improve her all-around game to be a little better on defense and serve receive. Kristen has the abilities to take her game to another level. Q: Who else will be a go-to hitter for you this year? A: We worked hard to diversify our offense in the offseason, so hopefully we won’t have just one or two go-to hitters. It is our goal to have a balanced offense, where multiple hitters can step up as the situation arises, and take advantage of our players’ strengths to give us the best opportunity of being successful. Q: Replacing Cydney Biessel will be a top priority. Who will you look to in your passing game? A: Cydney Biessel was a four year starter, so it won’t be easy to replace her, but we really like the two setters we have back in Jessica DeLeeuw and Madison Reeves.
SEASON PREVIEW WITH COACH NICKEL
Jessica has been in the program for three years now, and knows the system and what we expect from the setting position. Madison came to us from a very successful high school program and a top club team. They both have their strengths and both of them are more than capable of being the setter. Cydney did a great job for us, but I’m excited to see how the next chapter plays out. Q: What needs to happen for this program to take that next step? A: We need to stay healthy. Each of the last two years, we’ve been hit with injuries that our depth just couldn’t withstand. Also, the expectations continue to rise. I believe the team now understands what it is going to take in order to take that next step. Q: Give some insight on the six newcomers this season? A: Hannah Williams came to us this spring from Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Hannah is a very good athlete and a great teammate. Her defense will definitely make us better this fall. Ellen Oppenheim is an outside hitter from St. Joseph, Michigan. She is
very good at the net. She hits a really heavy ball, and is a good blocker. Avery Punches is an outside hitter from Rockford, Michigan. Avery played on a state championship team in 2011 as a middle hitter. She is very athletic and should make the switch to outside hitter without any problems. Macy Steenhuysen is a defensive specialist from East Kentwood High School in Grand Rapids. Macy is the libero on one of the top club teams in the country, which should make her transition to college volleyball a smooth one. Mikayla Shell is a middle from Cros-Lex High School in Michigan. She is long, which you can’t teach, and has very good blocking instincts. Emily Norscia is a great pick up for us. She is a really good player who did a great job in her first year with the Legacy Volleyball Club. She is long and has a great arm. She should fit in very well with our team and is another quality player in the class of 2013. The five freshmen each earned All-State honors in high school and all five of these players will have the opportunity to compete for playing time right away.

GLIAC INFORMATION The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), founded in 1972, has been a leader in the advancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics for men and women for 40 years. The conference has grown to offering championships in 21 sports (11 men’s and 10 women’s) while rising to prominence on the national level as GLIAC teams and student-athletes have achieved success both in the classroom and on the fields of play. The charter members of the GLIAC were Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Northwood University, and Saginaw Valley State University. Expansion of the GLIAC began immediately with the addition of Oakland University in 1974. Hillsdale College, Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State University were accepted as members in 1975. In 1977, the conference lost its first member when Northern Michigan withdrew. Michigan Technological University filled the vacancy when it became a member in 1980. After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992. After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsored sport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined the members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the merger, the University of Indianapolis became an associate member as a football-only school. Prior to 1995-96, all member institutions of the GLIAC were located in the state of Michigan. On December 14, 1994, membership was offered to three schools located in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The expansion members were Ashland University of Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and
Mercyhurst College, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three schools began their membership July 1, 1995. On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The University of Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University, which withdrew after the 1996-97 season as it moved to NCAA Division I status.
Westminster College, located in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, became the 14th member of the GLIAC when it accepted its expansion offer in May of 1997. On June 30, 2000 Westminster left the conference as it changed its affiliation to NCAA Division III. The GLIAC membership changed again when Tiffin University of Ohio joined the conference in the 2008-09 academic year. Tiffin was offered membership on June 20, 2007, leaving the GLIAC with 12 full members as Gannon and Mercyhurst moved to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for the 2008-09 academic year.
The GLIAC moved on under new leadership during the 2009-10 academic year. Commissioner Tom Brown, who had presided over the league for 17 years, retried on June 30, 2009. The longest serving commissioner in the history of the GLIAC, Brown expanded the conference from 10 full members to 14 full members and two associate members. On July 1, 2010, Lake Erie College of Painesville, Ohio, and Ohio Dominican University, located in Columbus, entered the GLIAC. Two years later, a pair of schools located in the Canton, Ohio area - Malone University and Walsh University - joined the conference. The policy-making body of the GLIAC is the Management Council, which is comprised of three representatives from each member institution – its director of athletics, faculty athletics representative and senior woman administrator. The presidency of the GLIAC is rotated alphabetically by school, with Suzanne Sanregret, Director of Athletics at Michigan Technological University, serving as GLIAC President in 2012-13. Dr. Glenn Mroz, President of Michigan Technological University, will serve as the chairperson of the GLIAC Presidents Council this year. The GLIAC made history in 2009 when it hired Dell Robinson as Commissioner. Robinson became the first ethnic minority to serve as D-II commissioner of a non-historically black college or university conference when he began his duties on July 1, 2009. Assisting Robinson are: Penny Cook, Asst. Commissioner for Compliance/ SWA, Jeff Ligney, Asst. Commissioner for Media Relations; Denise Gross, Assistant to the Commissioner; Mike McCann, Supervisor of Football Officials; Kim Vieira, Supervisor of Soccer Officials; Jeanne Skinner, Supervisor of Volleyball Officials; Rob Doss, Supervisor of Women’s Basketball Officials; Bill Ek, Supervisor of Men’s Basketball Officials; and Rich Fetchiet, Assignor of Baseball Umpires.

PROGRAM HISTORY
The 2013 season will mark the 39th year of varsity women’s volleyball at Wayne State University. Since the program’s inception in 1975, under the direction of head coach Gloria Soluk, WSU has won 644 matches, claimed three conference championships as well as three GLIAC South Division titles, and made two appearances at the NCAA Regional tournament. After posting a combined record of 30-80 over the first four seasons, the 1979 Tartars went 33-15, including an 8-2 conference mark, and won their first of three consecutive GLIAC championships (sharing the 1979 title with Oakland). Kathy Higgins, the program’s all-time leader in career winning percentage (.786), led the 1981 squad to a 34-9 record, which remains the single-season record for victories, and was named GLIAC Coach of the Year. The Tartars went 32-9 the following season but were edged out by Ferris State for the GLIAC title, as the Bulldogs were a perfect 8-0 in league play compared to WSU’s 7-1 mark. Wayne State’s program continued to build through the 1980s as Matt Peck began his 11-year tenure – longest in school history – in 1984. Peck’s teams finished with a winning record eight times, including the 32-6 record of 1986 which remains WSU’s highest single-season winning percentage (.842). In 1987, the Tartars finished 27-7 and qualified for the NCAA Great Lakes Regional for the first time ever, falling to conference champion Ferris State in a five-set opening round battle. Nonetheless, Peck
was named GLIAC Coach of the Year, and Wayne State had its first volleyball All-American crowned in senior Rachel Parham. Parham, Wayne State’s all-time leader in kills, blocks, hitting percentage and aces who was inducted into the WSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999, was also selected as the GLIAC Player of the Year in 1987, the only volleyball player in school history to earn the award. As the program rolled on into the 1990s, Wayne State eclipsed the 20-win mark three more times under Peck, including the 1994 season, Peck’s final year at WSU. Behind top hitter Demitria Brooks, who led the team with 501 kills and a then-school record 559 digs her senior year and joined Parham as the only players in school history to reach the 500-kill mark in a single season, the Tartars went 26-10 and qualified for the NCAA Regional tournament for the second time, losing a first-round match at Northern Michigan. Tim Bearden took over as head coach in 1995 and, as the GLIAC split into two divisions, led Wayne State to three consecutive South Division championships from 1996-98. One season after reaching the consolation final of the GLIAC Tournament in 1997, the team posted a program-best 15-4 league record in 1998. Wayne State finished 21-13 overall that season, but would subsequently endure six straight losing seasons as the program struggled heading into the new millennium. Wayne State was ousted from the 1999 GLIAC
Tournament by Grand Valley State in straight sets, and would not return until 2005 in Ernie Gilbert’s second year as head coach. Elisa Joris, a 2012 WSU Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, was the standout on that squad, becoming the second All-American in program history her senior year. She led the nation with a 1.79 blocks/game average, second-best at WSU behind Parham’s 1.88 average in 1987. In 2008, the first season under Phil Nickel’s direction, the Warriors went 17-12, their best record in a decade, and advanced past the first round of the GLIAC Tournament for the first time since 1997. Lauren Mallast led the nation in blocking average (1.51), and Sarha Gosselin was selected as an AllAmerican after finishing with 401 kills, a league-best 3.86 kills/set average, and 259 digs. In 2009, Wayne State went 19-9 to post the highest win total since 1998 and the highest winning percentage since 1997. The Warriors finished in second place in the South Division in 2010 and hosted Ferris State in the quarterfinals of the GLIAC Tournament. Sophomore All-American Katarzyna Sak became the first WSU player since 1992 to finish with over 400 kills and a hitting percentage above .330. Including a 14-14 record in 2011 and an 18-13 record last season, Nickel’s squads have finished .500 or better overall and qualified for the conference tournament in each of the first five years of his tenure. In 2012, WSU collected its first GLIAC Tournament win since 2008 over second-seeded Ferris State.
