WVU COLISEUM COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Almost 40 years old, yet still impressive in its initial visual impact, stunning in its spacious yet simplistic structure and versatile in its myriad uses, the WVU Coliseum is one of the nation’s supreme showcases for college basketball, gymnastics, volleyball and wrestling. Whether it is during the day, when the sun shines down on the massive structure, or at night, when its golden lights make it an evening showcase, the Coliseum stands as one of the most striking facilities on the WVU campus and played a major role in the expansion of the area known as the Evansdale Campus. Many of West Virginia‘s past glories were accomplished without the benefit of adequate facilities. WVU identified the need to upgrade the infrastructure facilities of the 36-year-old Coliseum in order to be competitive in the BIG EAST Conference. The upgrades that took place in 2004 included: renovations to the basketball and volleyball locker rooms, construction of a basketball players’ lounge and team video theater, expansion of Coliseum strength and conditioning center, expansion of the

equipment room and training room and refurbishment of the Coliseum roof. Construction continued with a club seating area in the main arena, complete with private space for concessions, hospitality areas and rest rooms under the lower level seats. Starting in the 2008, new, state-of-the-art score/video boards, complete with high resolution video and expanded messaging capabilities, became part of the fan experience at the Coliseum. Panasonic, together with WVU, used the new video board systems as a showcase to feature the latest state-of-the-art video and audio technology. The video board features a four-sided, LED video replay system, providing replays and live event coverage, in-game scoring statistics, special messaging and sponsor advertisements. Two round LED halo boards are located above and below the new center-hung scoreboard, and two new LED auxiliary boards have been installed behind each basket. The system, valued at approximately $5 million, was made available to WVU in part through a generous commitment from alumnus Ben Statler and his wife Jo, and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. A new state-of-the-art directional sound system and lighting system was also installed in the Coliseum. The 14,000-seat domed arena has been the home of Mountaineer athletics for the past quarter of a century, but its many uses include commencement, concerts, conferences, floor shows and a host of educational and athletic events. The Coliseum ranks second only to the Mountainlair (WVU’s student union building) in everyday activity. Nearly 100 offices, 13 lecture and seminar rooms, a dance studio, safety lab, racquetball and squash courts, steam rooms and the Jerry West Mountaineer Room are included in the structure’s 10.5 million cubic feet of space. There are also more than 1,000 locker units in various dressing rooms located adjacent to the playing floor. It is added accessories like these that make the building so special, able to host an endless array of events.

Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University volleyball team. But becoming successful and positive role models on and off the court is just as significant to them. The Mountaineers give back to the Morgantown and surrounding communities every chance they get. “I think it is important that the girls give back as much as they can,” said coach Jill Kramer of her Mountaineers. “We are going to start the year off with a free kid’s clinic and that is the best way for them to give back. They can go in the gym and say ‘ten years ago, I was standing exactly where you are now,’ or ‘these are the things you need to do to get where I am and I am here if you need anything.’That is the message that they are going to send to these kids and we have a great group of girls who are going to be great role models. We would really like to get involved with all of the youth in the community.” The team regularly donates its time and volleyball knowledge by hosting and teaching free clinics for local children to learn the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ volleyball skills they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work. The Mountaineers are frequent visitors to the Children’s Hospital and has sent Valentines Day cards to the troops in Iraq the last few years. Coach Kramer’s players can also be found reading to children at elementary schools in the “Read Aloud” program. During their visit, the student-athletes read to students in several classrooms and encouraged the school’s older students to apply themselves to their studies. Mountaineer coaches and players also take part in Relay For Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at WVU’s outdoor track and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand at West Virginia University. WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning staff ensures all student-athletes are on year-long programs designed to continue improving the fitness capabilities needed in their sports To keep athletes in peak physical condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and an array of strength programs designed to increase performance. All student-athletes will also have their own program individually calculated and updated throughout the year. Equipped with excellent amenities and staffed by some of the finest strength coaches in the nation, athletes who come to West Virginia know that they are in good hands when it comes to their athletic capacity.

VOLLEYBALLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PRIMARY TRAINING CONCENTRATIONS The main training area focuses for the volleyball team are anaerobic conditioning, aerobic conditioning, total body power and explosiveness, agility and quickness, speed, core strength, neural recruitment, balance and proprioception. WEIGHT LIFTING The lifting portion of the volleyball routine is used to improve overall strength, power and explosion. This is accomplished through cycled periodization of Olympic lifts, conventional weight lifting techniques, plyometrics, core, injury prevention exercises, agility and speed work. Athletes are also advised on proper nutrition. BEING FLEXIBLE An increase in stride length, frequency and range of motion in joint to tendon relationships is directly correlated to speed, agility and injury prevention. Therefore it is important to make flexibility an area of emphasis. Good flexibility helps to improve speed, agility and reduces the risk of injury. Each workout is preceded with a dynamic flexibility routine with regular stretching and followed by a post-flexibility routine at the end of every workout. PROPER NUTRITION Each athlete is educated on correct dietary habits and essential vitamins and minerals necessary to be an elite athlete. The athletes have the opportunity to meet with nutritionists, go on guided grocery store tours and receive diets designed specifically for them.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING MISSION STATEMENT To provide athletes with the knowledge, character, extrinsic motivation, discipline and training to reach their potential both personally and athletically. Student-athletes are offered the opportunity to train in some of the nation’s best facilities and with one of the nation’s best staffs. Physical development and dominance have been and continue to be traits that are equated with WVU. The athlete’s self confidence and unwavering dedication have driven him into the nation’s spotlight. This is made possible through the give-and-take relationships between the athletes and staff. The WVU strength and conditioning staff is committed to enabling athletes to achieve their dreams.

CONDITIONING Rigorous conditioning designed to elicit physiological changes in the body’s bioenergetics systems occurs 3-4 days a week with an emphasis on volleyball-specific anaerobic and aerobic conditioning.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

RECORD BOOK

THE WEIGHT ROOMS Accomplishing those conditioning requirements occurs in several campus weight rooms. Housing almost 15 tons of total weight, the Mountaineer weight room is located in the Puskar Center at Mountaineer Field. The 22,000-square foot weight room features a three-lane track for conditioning and 40 times, one of only two collegiate weight rooms to have such a track. Seven power platforms and 40 pieces of Hammer Strength weight equipment make the facility the envy of all opponents. Weight rooms also exist in the WVU Coliseum and Shell Building facilities. These weight rooms are located directly beside the volleyball playing and practice fields, allowing for workouts to be scheduled as needed around practices throughout the year. These weight rooms are also located near the outdoor and indoor tracks, providing year-round surfaces for volleyball conditioning.

WVU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PHILOSOPHY The WVU strength and conditioning staff is dedicated to developing the athlete and more specifically the person. Their primary goals are to improve athletic performance, injury prevention, promote self image and confidence and develop mental toughness. The training cycles transcend all aspects of physiological development. Athletes are trained in areas of speed, agility, quickness, explosive training, Olympic weight lifting, conventional weight lifting, band training, injury prevention movements, plyometrics, core, balance, functional training, bioenergetics related to individual sport, nutrition, flexibility, medicine ball training, proprioception, balance ball training and various other practices. Through the use of those tactics, speed, agility, strength, power, force, acceleration, deceleration, mobility, top speed, explosiveness, reaction, conditioning, balance, core stability, confidence, mental toughness, good nutrition habits, kinesthetic awareness and proprioception are focused upon. All of theses dimensions of training are adapted and phased regularly for the individual athlete’s needs and the demands of his specific sport. This is accomplished through the use of periodization. It is the belief of the strength staff that providing an allencompassing, sport specific, individualized program will enable athletes to reach their physiological potential. With positive reinforcement and a structured, disciplined atmosphere, athletes will elicit confidence and mental strength to ensure success in all of life’s endeavors.

MOUNTAINEER PROFILES

CORE TRAINING For volleyball players, the abdominal and low back regions are the units that tie the upper and lower extremities’ power together. In order to have excellent maneuverability and transfer of power, an athlete must have superior balance and strength in this core region. Training of the core region occurs three times per week using balance balls, medicine balls and other volleyball specific drills.

With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 academic year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. A year ago, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair and completed a successful first year in charge in 2009-10. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to the promotion of the academic achievement of student-athletes as well as their athletic accomplishment and their personal and career development. In support of this position, West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include having 11 student-athletes being named first team Academic All-Americans in seven of the last nine years and nearly 800 different student-athletes earning a 3.0 GPA during the 2008 and 2009 academic years. To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Coliseum Academic Performance Center.

RECORD BOOK

During priority registration, all student-athletes, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, get advice in scheduling the courses to keep them on track in their degree programs. These measures are succeeding in a noticeable way. Last year, 379 student-athletes earned a place on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll with at least a 3.0 grade-point average.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

The WVU student services staff, headed by Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Garrett Ford and his assistants Sandy Cole-DeMent, Erica Wycherley, Paul Downey, Mark Hanselman and Donnie Tucker, makes sure that every student-athlete has the best possible opportunity to obtain a college degree. This process begins as soon as a recruit signs a letter-of-intent to play for the Mountaineers. “We know everything about incoming freshmen academically before they arrive in the fall,” said Ford. “We know which students are ahead of others and which will require more assistance.” Besides keeping in touch with freshmen, incoming student-athletes are encouraged to attend orientation sessions offered for all West Virginia University students during the summer prior to their arrival on campus. This is where new students can learn more about the Morgantown campus and, most importantly, register for classes. During the second week of classes, freshmen are enrolled in mandatory study halls, monitored by Ford and his staff. Those who do well during the first semester are given the option of attending study hall, but if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they must return to the mandatory sessions. During the semester, department officials keep a careful record of each student-athlete’s academic progress. Class and study hall attendance are checked regularly, periodic grade reports are obtained from instructors, and parents, coaches and players are kept up-to-date on their academic progress.

MENTORING SERVICE FACTS Experienced educators from the local community serve as mentors for student-athletes who need additional guidance with adjusting to the academic rigors of the college environment. Mentors help incoming student-athletes improve accountability through time management, study skills and organizational skills related to their classes. In another program, former Mountaineer athletes are returning to school to complete work on their degrees, some after as many as 10 years away from Morgantown. But for those who don’t graduate with their class, there’s still hope. A continuing-eligibility program was created in 1989 to give those student-athletes who are close to graduating an opportunity to come back to school to complete their degrees. Since its creation, dozens of students have participated, with a success rate of better than 80 percent. More than 25 student-athletes from all sports participated in the post-eligibility program last year. In 1992, under the direction of associate Ford, WVU joined the growing list of schools that are a part of an NCAA-sponsored consortium. Similar to the post-eligibility program in providing former student-athletes a chance to continue work toward their degrees, the closely screened consortium requires participants to be more involved in community-related activities. The consortium students are often much older athletes, who left the University to pursue professional sports or business careers, but now wish to return to complete their degrees.

NCAA CERTIFICATION West Virginia University received unconditional recertification in April 2010 from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, recognizing that the University’s athletic program is in “substantial conformity with operating principles” adopted by Division I schools. The purpose of athletics certification is to ensure integrity in the institution’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments, the NCAA said. WVU was one of the first schools to volunteer for the NCAA’s pilot certification program in 1991, and was one of five schools originally certified. WVU’s program was recertified by the NCAA in 1996 and then again in 2001. The most recent round of recertification began in 2008 with a selfstudy of governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, as well as gender and diversity and student-athlete wellbeing. The Division I Committee on Athletics Certification preliminarily reviews an institution’s certification materials and provides a list of issues identified during the evaluation. The university then hosts a visit by peer reviewers who file a report regarding the institution’s resolution of those issues before a final certification decision is rendered. An institution’s failure to satisfactorily respond to the committee may negatively affect certification status. All 335 active Division I members participate in the certification process.

WHAT IS SAAC? The West Virginia University Student Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

STUDENT ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to improve WVU athletic programs. They disseminate information important to student-athletes to share with their teams. Two representatives from each varsity team at West Virginia University are either elected by their teammates or selected by the members of their coaching staff. Under the guidance of SAAC advisor Terri Howes, the SAAC meets regularly to discuss current issues and concerns of WVU’s student-athletes. SAAC leaders attend BIG EAST Conference SAAC meetings to exchange ideas with other studentathletes from BIG EAST schools regarding student-athlete’s collegiate experience.

RECORD BOOK

APR The West Virginia University men’s basketball team, women’s cross country team and women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2010 by the NCAA for their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads their respective sports. Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each studentathlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.

ITS PURPOSE The purpose of West Virginia University SAAC is: 1. To generate a student-athlete voice within WVU, the Big East and NCAA structure. 2. Solicit student-athlete response to proposed WVU, Big East and NCAA legislation. 3. Recommend potential WVU, Big East and NCAA legislation. 4. Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest. 5. Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA. 6. Promote a positive student-athlete image.

GRADUATION RATES West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 2002-03.

2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW

The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence and 5) community service.

COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to support the development of a wellbalanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging and supporting emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills. CHAMPS/Life Skills services provided within this component include personal counseling, health presentations, improving communication skills, and presentations on social development and fiscal responsibility. A satellite office of the WVU Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services and Well WVU is located in the Coliseum to support this commitment area. COMMITMENT TO SERVICE The purpose of this component is to engage interested studentathletes in service to his or her campus and surrounding communities. Activities for student-athletes within this component include peer education, guest speaking at campus and community events and mentoring local children.

JILL KRAMER HEAD COACH FIRST SEASON

Jill Kramer was named West Virginia University’s third volleyball coach on Monday, Aug. 9, 2010, a day before the start of fall training camp. “We are delighted to welcome Jill into our Mountaineer family,” said Oliver Luck. “She will bring tremendous energy and enthusiasm as well as a wealth of experience from club and USA volleyball. She has also helped turn around and been a part of successful programs at Alabama and Virginia. It is an exciting time for our volleyball program.” Kramer comes to West Virginia after spending the last two seasons as an assistant at the University of Virginia, where she made an immediate impact on the future of the Cavaliers’ volleyball program. In just her first season at Virginia where she coordinated all recruiting efforts, Kramer helped head coach Lee Maes bring the program its first-ever nationally ranked recruiting class, posting a No. 15 ranking by PrepVolleyball.com. She then followed that up in her second year

with a class that was tabbed No. 9 by PrepVolleyball.com. “I am honored and humbled by the opportunity afforded to me by West Virginia University,” Kramer says. “I’d like to thank Oliver Luck, Terri Howes and Mike Parsons for their faith and trust in my vision for WVU volleyball, as well as their commitment to see WVU volleyball rise to new heights. “West Virginia is a special place; a place where I immediately felt at home. I’m eager to get in the gym and begin working with our team. It is such an exciting time for Mountaineer volleyball!” Prior to her stint at Virginia, Kramer spent two seasons (2006-07) as an assistant at Alabama, helping the Crimson Tide reach the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years. At Alabama, she was involved in all aspects of the program, including on-court training, opponent scouting and recruiting, while tutoring two time All-American Crystal Hudson. In her second season at Alabama, Kramer served as the recruiting coordinator, bringing in the first ranked recruiting class in Tide volleyball history, a No. 27 ranking by PrepVolleyball.com. Kramer began her collegiate coaching career as an assistant at the University of Texas at San Antonio from 2003-05. UTSA advanced to the Southland Conference tournament in each of her three seasons, including a championship berth in 2005. While coaching at UTSA, Kramer also was the co-director for the Alamo Volleyball Club, coaching the 17-and-under team. She oversaw all player and coach development while Alamo grew to 26 teams and over 250 athletes. During her time there, 17 teams qualifed for the Junior Olympics, while six of those teams earned medals and 12 players earned All-America awards. Kramer has also been involved with USA Volleyball for the past five years. Kramer’s teams have posted a 27-1 record during her time with USA Volleyball. In 2006 as an assistant with the USA Junior A-2 training camp and Red team, the squad won gold at the High Performance Championships. In 2007 as an assistant, the USA Junior A-2 team won the gold medal at the Global Challange in Pula, Croatia. As a co-coach in 2009, Kramer led the USA Youth A-2 team to a gold medal at the High Performance Championships. This past summer, as an assistant on the USA Senior A-2 Blue team, Kramer helped her team to a gold medal at the USA Open National Championships.

Q & A WITH COACH JILL KRAMER COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

In your first season as a head coach, and your first season with the Mountaineer program, what changes have you made in how the program is going to be run? We want to focus on the things that we can control and those are the things that our staff is really working on. We want to stay really focused on how hard we are working and the type of effort that we are giving both mentally and physically. We also are focusing our enthusiasm in the gym and are we doing everything with all of our heart. Those are the things that we are really working on this season. We want to keep a positive gym culture, and it seems like everyone is there to help each other out this season. We use terminology of red and green. A red comment means a negative comment and green is good. This season I have noticed that there is music played throughout practice. Is this to help the girl’s energy level or is it to help them learn to deal with distractions during matches? It is a little bit of both. We have to learn to deal with those types of things all of the time during matches, so I don’t see why it would be any different in practice. For the most part, I really like listening to upbeat music or music that just makes you feel good – I want them to feel good. I think that players deal with enough adversity in competition from other teams and fans, and I want them to feel when they are in our gym that everyone that is there is behind them 100 percent. That is the kind of culture I like to create. At the same time, we are going to go to places that have a pretty rowdy and hostel atmosphere, and so those weeks preceding those games, we will use the music in practice and have it loud.

There seems to be a lot of hype building around the sport of volleyball here at WVU. How important is it to you that you have so much support from President James P. Clements and Director of Athletics Oliver Luck? President Clements actually sent me an e-mail the day that I accepted the position, which I thought was fabulous. I am excited about that and we are trying to build the fan base. I just heard that we have a friend that is involved with middle school volleyball in the area and that there were around 80 kids that tried out this year. We are trying to get all of those kids out this season and keep them involved.

COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

In your first season, what goals do you have for the team? My expectations are for us to stay focused on the task at hand and all of the things that we can control like our effort, enthusiasm, the way we work together and our attitudes. I hope that we approach everything with a realistic view, but at the same time, an optimistic view. I also just hope we give our fans something fun to watch. I told the girls they are here to compete, but at the same time, this is a form of entertainment. Our girls have great personalities and I expect them to show their personalities when they are playing. Also, of course we want to get to the BIG EAST tournament. To have five players from last year’s team coming back this season, I think there is a foundation there to make that happen. I know for a fact that is how they feel – they want it bad. They come in the gym every day and they work hard. That has to continue to happen, but they know that and I am not letting them off the hook. I know what they want and my job is to make that happen.

2010 SEASON

The Marshall home match kind of pops up in the middle of all the traveling, talk a little bit about what you expect from that match? I really can see the community getting behind us for that match. I really think it is going to happen and I hope that we can break their attendance record from last season (1,500). I know that our staff is going to work really hard to do that and I know our players are going to get involved and help out. I just have a feeling there is going to be a good energy for that game. To break that win streak from Marshall, we really need some support from the fans.

2009 REVIEW

This season the team plays on the road for five-straight weekends how do you think the team will handle that? It just so happens that three of the first five road trips, we are going to areas where one of the players has family. So when we go to every one of those three, we are doing something with those people. Andrea’s family lives in Maryland and we are going to hang out with them when we go to George Mason, we are going to Bonnie’s sister’s house when we are in California and we will visit Abby Norman’s parents when we go to South Bend. I want to make sure that we make all of these road trips as comfortable as possible. I think the biggest thing, is that we are going to have to stay on top of our academics and we have some plans for that. I think the BIG EAST is going to be very competitive and hopefully our experience in the conference and our desire to be in the conference tournament is great enough to beat some teams this year. The last four games of the season are at home, but they are against really tough teams.

RECORD BOOK

What players do you look to stand out and lead the team this season? I can see Lauren Evans being a stand-out player again this season. I think she is going to have a great year. I can see Bonnie West doing a lot of big things for this squad. I think all three of our outside hitters (Kylie Armbruster, Serrina Russo and Michelle Kopecky) are all going to make big contributions. I have the same thought process with Whitney Lee and Abby Monson in the middle. I think they both are going to contribute and they both have their strengths and are going to step up. I also see Abby Norman and Andrea Miller also having big impacts as well. There is going to be a lot of pieces to the puzzle that come together this season. Our goal is to maximize all of our strengths and our staff’s job is to get the best mix of talent out there that can play the best together. That is what we are working towards.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

It is all about new beginnings this season for the West Virginia University volleyball team, as Jill Kramer joins the Mountaineers as the third head coach in school history. On August 9, 2010, Kramer came to Morgantown after serving two seasons at Virginia, where she helped the Cavaliers to nationally ranked recruiting classes in both seasons. Now, Kramer takes the reins of the Mountaineers, with big expectations for her first season. “My biggest expectation this season is that the players give their best effort. They should always play with passion, have an enthusiasm for the game and be proactive in working together in reaching a common goal,” Kramer says. “I think it is a really good opportunity to have a new beginning, and I think the longer we can be in the ‘honeymoon’ phase of it all, the better of we are going to be.” Kramer takes over a roster that features 11 returnees and six newcomers, including seniors Lauren Evans, Abby Norman, Andrea Miller and Bonnie West, and junior Kari Post – all starters from 2009. “I think having so many players returning to the roster this season is very important, especially with me coming in new,” Kramer admits. “For me being the leader, I think it makes it that much easier when every other component is there, as long as they are making a positive

impact. That has been the case so far.” Evans, who played one season at WVU after transferring from ConcordiaIrvine, returns to hold down the middle blocker position after earning all-BIG EAST second team honors last season – the first time a Mountaineer has earned an all-conference award since Julie Hockenson in 2005. The 6-foot-2, powerful force at the net, came in to lead WVU in her first season in kills (270), hitting percentage (.291), blocks (121) and service aces (37). This season, Kramer looks for Evans to step up even more, while junior Abby Monson, sophomore Whitney Lee and freshman Sidney Sauter also looks to contribute in the middle. “Lauren is going to reap the benefits of her hard work and effort,” Kramer says.” She is an outstanding leader, who leads by example. She is really down to business in the gym and the other girls really look up to her for that. We have four middles this season. Sidney Sauter is a freshman and she is learning the ropes right now and getting stronger and quicker. Then, we have Monson and Lee who are both going to make an impact this season.” After losing outside hitters Abby Raines and Kristina Gallahan to graduation, newcomer Serinna Russo could have an impact at the net alongside juniors Kylie Armbruster and Michelle Kopecky. Last season, Armbruster finished second on the team with 196 kills, while also posting 230 digs. Kopecky also had a successful year and was named the Iron Mountaineer for her efforts in the weight room at the season’s end. “Right now, I look at Kylie Armbruster as being our stabilizer on the outside,” says Kramer. “She is going to be someone who is on the court all of the time and be a big part of what we are doing. I can see Michelle and Serinna both playing well. They both have their strengths and we have to find a way to utilize them.” Also looking to make an impact on the outside are Miller and Norman, who return as the Mountaineers’ rightside hitters. Miller, a Huntingtown, Md., native, had a break-out season in 2009, playing in 95 games and posting 110 kills and 63 blocks, while Norman has vital strengths in her mobility and can play on the outside and in the middle. “We have right side hitters in Abby Norman and Andrea Miller. Again, those are two of the best athletes on our team and we have to find a way to utilize both of them,” Kramer says. “They both have their strengths. Abby can attack all tempos of balls so it is like having another middle on the court, and that is really tough to defend. Andrea can take really big swings on the outside and she puts up a really good block.” Leading the offense in the setter position is Post. A native of Yuba City, Calif., Post returns for her third season at the starting setter spot. In 2009, she recorded 1,034 assists, which tied her for 10th place on WVU’s single season list. For her career, Post has amassed 1,598 assists, which also puts her 10th on WVU’s all-time assists list.

Sophomore Karly Rasmussen and newcomer Lisa Riedel will add some much needed depth at the setter position. Rasmussen made a huge impact last season running the secondteam offense in practice, while Riedel comes in with a high level of international talent. “We have Kari Post, Lisa Riedel and Karly Rasmussen for setters this season,” Kramer says. ANDREA MILLER “Karly is doing a great job of working hard in the gym and getting better everyday. She brings a lot because she puts forth a lot of effort. Kari ran the squad last season and I know she did a really good job of that. Lisa has a lot of strengths. She has a really nice touch the ball. Those are two kids with different games, but both are really good.” West Virginia’s defense is once again led by West, a native of Wildomar, Calif., who has started every set in her career (333) at WVU. Last season, West finished with 492 digs, putting her fourth on the list for most digs in a single season at WVU. She is also third on WVU’s all-time digs list with 1,450, behind Michelle Domas (1,630). “West is someone who has been a really good leader on and off the court. She is bringing out the best in her teammates,” Kramer says. “We have a lot of defensive specialist-libero types on our team and every one of those girls is modeling herselves after Bonnie in the gym. She comes in and works hard every day, she is consistent in what she does and she is very technically sound.” Sophomore Stephanie Mock will contribute again this season after a successful freshman campaign in which she posted 127 digs, while adding some much need depth in the defense. West and Mock will be joined by incoming freshmen Bridget Carey, Liz Gulick and Gabriela Nadal, all who come in ready to play. The 2010 season is sure to be competitive for the Mountaineers, as the 30-match schedule features 17 away contests, two first-time meetings and home matches against rivals Pitt and Marshall.

“I am fired up about playing here in the Coliseum against Pitt and Marshall,” Kramer admits. “I expect us to have much more involvement from the community this year, and we are going to put forth the effort to get that.” The Mountaineers start their journey on Aug. 28, with their first of four tournaments, and their only home tournament, the WVU Classic. This season, the annual event will feature competition against Howard, Buffalo, Youngstown State and Akron. WVU currently holds a 34-13 record over the weekend’s competitors after defeating the Penguins (3-1) and the Zips (3-2) in 2009. The Mountaineers will face Howard for the first time since 1979 and Buffalo since 2007. Following the WVU Classic, the Mountaineers take to the road for five-straight weeks, traveling to tournaments such as the George Mason Classic, the Wake Forest Classic and the Fullerton Classic. With eight players on the roster from the Golden State, the Mountaineers are looking forward to the trip to Cal State Fullerton to give some of the student-athletes’ families an opportunity to see the Mountaineers in action. After the tournament season, the Mountaineers jump right into conference competition with road trips at Notre Dame (Sept. 24) and DePaul (Sept. 26), followed by Seton Hall and Rutgers on Oct. 2 and 3, respectively. The Mountaineers return to the WVU Coliseum on Oct. 8 for three-straight BIG EAST matches before hitting the road one last time. With high hopes of making the conference tournament, WVU’s season wraps up with home matches against Cincinnati, Louisville, St. John’s and Connecticut – all matches that could make or break the Mountaineers’ tournament goals. “I know that traditionally, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Louisville and St. John’s have been good,” the rookie BIG EAST coach says. “Then, also, Marquette is an up and coming program, Villanova is getting stronger and so is Pitt. The great thing about it is that people want to play in strong conferences. You want to go play those big-time matches. We are looking forward to these matches and getting competitive.” The foundation is set, and with a veteran roster and new coach, the WVU volleyball team is more than ready for the upcoming season. In 2010, look for the Mountaineers to take on a new beginning full force, as they work toward their ultimate goal – a BIG EAST Championship.

SEASON REVIEW COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

It was more than just a good season for the West Virginia University volleyball team in 2009 – it was one of the best showings the Mountaineers have posted in the past few years and a taste of what is to come in 2010. WVU finished with a 17-13 overall mark and a 6-8 BIG EAST record, and fell just one match short of making the conference tournament. The Mountaineers also won five of six five-game matches, including outings against George Mason and Georgetown. Coach Veronica Hammersmith was pleased with the season and her team’s performance throughout the year. The 35-year veteran moved her all-time record to 580-574 (.503), while her team inched toward the

conference tournament with several good wins. “I thought we accomplished some goals that we set last season,” Hammersmith said. “We almost made it to the BIG EAST tournament, which was one of our goals. We tied for eighth place in the conference, but through tie-breakers, we didn’t get to go to the tournament. However, that was a step and an immense improvement from the year before. I feel like we established a stepping stone for next season.” As a team, the Mountaineers finished ranked third in digs (1,641), fourth in service aces (160) and seventh in blocks (237) in the BIG EAST, showing they were contenders throughout the season. Leading the Mountaineers was junior transfer Lauren Evans, a middle

hitter from Concordia-Irvine, who ended the season with 270 kills, 37 service aces, 68 digs and 121 total blocks. At the season’s end, Evans was named all-BIG EAST second team, marking the first time a Mountaineer had earned honors since Julie Hockenson in 2005. Sophomore setter Kari Post also had a good showing in her first full season in the starting role. The Yuba City, Calif., native posted 1,034 assists, which tied her for 10th place on WVU’s single season list. Combined with her first season, Post has 1,598 assists in her career, which also puts her 10th on WVU’s all-time assists list. “This season was a little bit easier for Kari because she got a full year under her belt,” coach Hammersmith said. “She struggled as a freshman because it is hard for freshmen to go in and run the plays we do and figure out how our offense works. This year was easier because she was familiar with the plays and how to utilize some of the hitters that we had, so that they could be most effective. I think it was a step up for Kari.” Also making her mark on the record books was junior libero Bonnie West. A Wildomar, Calif., native, West continued her streak of starting every match since her freshman season, as she posted 492 digs to put her fourth on the list for most digs in a single season at WVU. After just three seasons, she is third on WVU’s list for most digs in a career with 1,450, behind Michelle Domas (1,630). WVU’s season began with a second-place finish at the WVU Classic in which the Mountaineers defeated Towson (3-0), Oakland (3-0) and Saint Francis, Pa. (3-0) after falling to Oakland (3-0) in the opening match. WEST VIRGINIA VOLLEYBALL

For their efforts in the WVU Classic, senior Abby Raines and junior Abby Norman were awarded with all-tournament team honors, as Raines recorded a total of 33 kills and 33 digs, with two double-doubles on the weekend, while Norman landed 23 kills and nine total blocks. Next, the Mountaineers traveled cross country to Denver, Colo., where they powered through Eastern Illinois (3-0), Air Force (3-0) and Southern Utah (3-0), before falling to tournament-host Denver in a close 3-2 match. The weekend was highlighted with Evans and Norman being named to the all-tournament team. Evans posted 36 kills with a .265 hitting percentage, while also adding a team-high 17 blocks. Norman recorded a team-high hitting percentage with 28 kills for a .321 average. The Mountaineers went on to post several tough wins including victories over conference foes Connecticut, Marquette and Villanova, all of which led to an opportunity to make the BIG EAST tournament. Tied for eighth place in the conference with Seton Hall, the Mountaineers headed into the last match of the season with the Pirates to fight for a bid to the tournament. However, despite their efforts, the Mountaineers fell to SHU in a 3-1 match. Even though the team fell just short of its goal of a conference championship appearance, the Mountaineers made steps toward improvement and to where they want to be. Next season, WVU will boast a squad of talented veterans who are looking to improve even more. Look for the WVU volleyball team to return in 2010 with vengeance, as it makes even bigger strides toward the BIG EAST Tournament.

PRESIDENT JAMES P. CLEMENTS COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

James P. Clements has said that no university in the country means as much to its state as West Virginia University means to West Virginia. Since becoming WVU’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has shown a strong dedication to expanding the University’s role as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing superior academic programs, expanding a wellness initiative for students, technologically advancing research for use around the globe and strengthening service and health-care initiatives for the community. Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of this commitment, including: adding100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating capital funds to expand outdoor recreational space for students; creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; and increasing research to strengthen the University’s position as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences. Additional priorities have been to continue offering worldclass health care and – through WVU’s Top-10 ranked Rural Health Program – remain committed to increasing state outreach in the health sciences. Other goals include finding more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, increasing the diversity of WVU’s learning community and developing an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities. He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds. In 2009-10, private giving to the University increased, external and competitive funding for research grew, and student applications increased, keeping enrollment strong. A major strategic planning process was launched, several new facilities opened and ground was broken on a project to house WVU’s nationally acclaimed Physics Program. Recently, Dr. Clements was appointed to the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Women in Higher Education and was appointed to serve as the Outreach Liaison for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), representing the MidAtlantic Region. Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to help achieve these objectives and guide WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second-largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the university.

The Clements family – Maggie, Tyler, Hannah, standing; Beth, Grace, Jim, seated, near WVU’s historic Woodburn Hall. With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. His project management textbook, in its fourth edition, is used in more than 20 countries and is published in four languages. At WVU, Dr. Clements is a tenured professor in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category. Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, and the WVU Hospitals. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards. He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.

Luck was in the midst of securing the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed by Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relinquished in June 2010, to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated from WVU magna cum laude in 1982 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also earned a law degree from the University of Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica Hall of Fame. He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, the starting quarterback and a Heisman Trophy candidate at Stanford; Mary Ellen, an incoming freshman volleyball player at Stanford; Emily and Addison.

Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the National Football League and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the National Football League before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Oliver Luck is the right man at the right time for West Virginia University. President James P. Clements appointed the former Mountaineer quarterback Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010, making him the 11th person to hold that title at WVU. “Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.” “It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU. “WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a recordsetting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel

RECORD BOOK

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That certainly held true for West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. What stayed the same? Simply, it was WVU flexing its collective athletic muscles in the BIG EAST and on the national scene, yet again, in what continues to be the contemporary Golden Era. What changed? Simply, it was just changing the calendar to another year. Leading the way in what was yet another banner season for the department was the men’s basketball team’s school-record 31 wins, which saw the squad reach the NCAA Final Four for the second time in school history and win its first-ever BIG EAST championship. The team finished the year No. 3 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll, defeated seven ranked teams, reached the “Sweet 16” for the fifth time in the last six NCAA Tournament appearances, and coach Bob Huggins won his 670th career game in the Elite 8 victory over Kentucky. Individually, Da’Sean Butler led the way for WVU, garnering John Wooden, Basketball Times and Associated Press All-America honors and was named the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award winner. Devin Ebanks, Kevin Jones and Joe Mazzulla also garnered postseason honors. Football posted a 9-4 record and a 5-2 BIG EAST mark, tying for second in the league. WVU posted its fifth-straight season of nine wins or more, played in its eighth-straight bowl game and sixth New Year’s Day Bowl in the decade when it played Florida State in the Gator Bowl. WVU finished No. 22/25 in the final polls, marking the fifth- straight season WVU has finished in the Associated Press’ Top 25. Quarterback Jarrett Brown became the first 2,000-yard passer since 1998, and Noel Devine rushed for 1,465 yards, marking the 13th season out of the last 14 years where a Mountaineer eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. Ten Mountaineers earned all-BIG EAST honors, while Reed Williams, a two-time Academic All-American, was named the BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year and a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. West Virginia is the only school in the country during the last six years to win two BCS Bowl Games in football and make four Sweet 16 appearances in men’s basketball. Women’s basketball, also set a school record for most wins in a season (29), finished second in the BIG EAST with 13 wins and was the BIG EAST Championship runner-up for the second time in school history. WVU reached as high as No. 7 in both major polls, marking its highest ranking in school history, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s second round for the third time in the last four years. Liz Repella was named an ESPN
