They say things are always better the second time around. Well, if that is true then NorthernMichigan volleyball is in for one heck of a ride. If, Moore’s first year back at the helm is anyindication then the ‘Cats are on the right track. He led the ‘Cats to a 26-1 overall record lastseason, a perfect 18-0 mark in the GLIAC and the team captured the GLIAC Volleyball Tour-nament title. Moore also picked up GLIAC Coach of the Year and the AVCA Regional Coachof the Year honors. His record at NMU now stands at 149-56 (.727).

On December 30, 2002, then interim Athletic Director Ken Godfrey announced to theMarquette community and the Northern Michigan family that Jim Moore was coming back forhis second stint as a Wildcat.

From his first championship beginnings at Northern Michigan (1989-93), to a three-year stintat Kansas State (1994-96), then onto a four-year term at the University of Texas (1996-00) and a quick stop at ChicoState (2000-02), Moore has shown the ability to build and maintain a national-caliber program at all levels.

Moore owns a career record of 328-149 (.687), and, with the excep-tion of one season, his teams had accomplished the amazing feat of improv-ing upon their prior season’s winning percentage in each of his 15 seasons.He has had to face many obstacles at each stop, beginning with his firstseason at Northern Michigan in 1989. Although, he was faced with numer-ous recruiting challenges, his five-year tenure culminated in the Wildcatswinning the 1993 NCAA II National Championship. In addition, hisprogram produced the first two-time Division II National Player of the Yearin collegiate history.

He then moved onto Manhattan, Kan., in 1994 where he took over aKansas State program that was at the bottom of the Big 8 the previous threeseasons. By the time he left the Little Apple, K-State had become one ofthe best in the Big 12 and it was loaded with numerous all-conferencecaliber players. Following these efforts, Moore was named the sixth head


HEADHEADHEADHEADHEAD COCOCOCOCOAAAAACHCHCHCHCH JIMJIMJIMJIMJIM MOOREMOOREMOOREMOOREMOORE

coach in the history of the University of Texas-Austin volleyball program in March of 1997, a mere four months beforetraining for the 1997 season. Although, he did not face the same immediate challenges at Texas as he has in the priorstops, he did have to replace a hall of fame coach and keep a storiedprogram at the top.

Shortly after taking over the UT program Moore was asked to be MickHaley’s top assistant for the women’s U.S. National Team. Moore washonored by the offer, but preferred to stay in the college ranks. Undaunted,Haley sought out Moore to be a consultant for the U.S. Olympic Team andhelp introduce his style of offense to the national team program.

Following his run at Texas, Moore returned to the Division II coachingranks at California State University, Chico. As is Moore’s fashion ofimproving ailing programs, he guided the Chico State program to its’ firstwinning season in five years culminating in a second year record of 18-8,just missing the NCAA Tournament.

Moore’s coaching career began in 1989 at Northern Michigan Univer-sity. In just five seasons, Moore raised a perennial sub-.500 team tonational dominance, highlighted by three consecutive trips to the NCAA Division II National Tournament quarterfinals,back-to-back appearances in the national championship match, and finally the 1993 National Championship whichculminated in a phenomenal record of 38-1. His athletes reeled in numerous individual honors, including an unprec-edented four First Team All-Americans and the NCAA Division II Player of the Year in 1992 alone. Moore followedthat with three more All-America selections and the first ever repeat Division II Player of the Year in 1993. For hisachievements, Moore won the 1993 National Coach of the Year Award, three AVCA/ Tachikara Great Lakes RegionCoach of the Year awards and two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference Coach of the Year Awards.

Moore then moved on to Manhattan, Kan. where he revitalized the now successful K-State program. The Wildcatshad gone 24-68 overall and 0-36 in league play prior to his arrival. During his stay, KSU registered three straightwinning seasons, including a 26-9 mark in 1996 and the school’s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Following the run at K-State, Moore guided the storied UT program to three consecutive NCAA Tournamentappearances, a Big 12 Conference Championship, one Big 12 Player of the Year, seven All-American selections andeight All-Big 12 selections.

While at Chico State he resurrected a program that had gone 15-75 in the last three years. Moore lead the Wild-cats to 16-13 season his first year and an 18-8 finish his second. His players where awarded four all- CCHA selec-tions.

A native of Long Beach, Calif., Moore played volleyball for two years at San Bernardino Valley College followedby a two-year stint at Long Beach State, where he earned his bachelor’s degree (1980) and later his master’s degree inhealth science. His first coaching position came in the high school ranks at California’s Rim of the World High Schoolwhere his teams went 134-27 (.832) in five seasons as his team in 1981 captured the California State Division IIchampionship. He then spent four years at Mayfair High (Calif.), as his last two teams went 26-2 and 28-2 respec-tively, before moving to Northern Michigan.

Moore and his wife, Stacy Metro, have two children: Matthew Ryan, born in April of 1997, and Michael Reed,born in October of 1998.

Stacy Metro, returns for her second season as the assistant coach, to the site where sheturned Division II volleyball eyes to the eastern time zone and to the Upper Peninsula of Michi-gan when she led the Northern Michigan University Wildcats to many first with it’s 1993 NCAAII National Championship. The first NCAA women’s volleyball team to win a national champi-onship in the eastern time zone. The first women’s team to win a national championship at NMUand the first NCAA National Championship hosted by Northern Michigan University and held inMarquette.

Metro guided a team that had a losing record the three years prior to her arrival to a recordof 99-14 in the three years she was running the offense for the Wildcats. Every year she wasthe quarterback the team was in the Elite Eight which started a run of seven straight appearancesfor NMU. That is only the tip of the ice berg.

Her senior year she led the country in attack percentage with .510 while leading the nation inassists per game with 12.37. She is still second at NMU in career blocks per game behind teammate Andrea Gommansas a non-middle blocker and led the conference and country in several statistical categories throughout her three-yeartenure. Metro was all-tournament in every tournament she played in throughout her career and was MVP in everyonebut three of the 16 she played in.

She is quite arguably the most decorated volleyball player in NCAADivision II history. She was the first two-time AVCA National Player of theYear. To be followed by her teammate Liu June who repeated the honor.Metro was three-time First Team All-America, GTE/CoSIDA AcademicAll-American in 1993 and the recipient of the 1993-94 Honda Awardwinner as the National Athlete of the year for NCAA Division II.

Metro was the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(GLIAC) Player of the Year in both 1992 and 1993 and was selected All-Conference in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The First Team All-American awardsoccurred in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Her jersey was retired from NorthernMichigan University in a ceremony in 1994. Fellow Honda award winnersin 1993 were Mia Ham, Lisa Leslie, two time Olympic Volleyball PlayerDaniel Scott along with others.

Immediately after winning her awards, Metro joined the USA NationalTeam prior to the 1996 Olympics. Metro trained in San Diego at the end of1993 and joined up with the USA Team again in 1994 after playing profes-sionally in Peru early in 1994.

It was at that time she chose to use her skills as a player and focus oncoaching. She joined Jim Moore at Kansas State University (KSU) as thefirst assistant where she was able to resurrect her second program. Takingover a team that had lost 36 straight conference matches and turning themaround in a three-year period of time making it into the second round of theNCAA Division I Playoffs and into the Top 25 in 1996.

The K-State team had a winning record all three years of Metro’s tenure and was able to take an unrecruited setterand help turn her into an All Big 12 setter. Metro also was the recruiting coordinator at K-State recruiting it’s first “Fab50” player and it’s first and only All-American.

After the 1996 season Stacy took four years off to start her family and begin rasing hers and head coach JimMoore’s children, Matthew and Michael. Coaching stayed in her blood. She started, administered and coach the ClubAustin Volleyball club at that time.

With four years out of college coaching she returned with the same success of turning programs around she hadbefore. Again, with head coach Moore she returned as the first assistant at California State University Chico and tookover a team that had come in last in it’s conference every year it was in it’s current conference. In a two-year periodMetro helped turn Chico State around with two consecutive winning seasons and in contention for the NCAA DivisionII National Tournament.

The native of Lakewood, Calif. where she is in the Lakewood Sports Hall of Fame graduated from Mayfair HighSchool. Metro will be inducted into the NMU Sports Hall of Fame during Homecoming activites in October. Beganher playing career for The University of Colorado Buffalos coming to NMU in 1990.

2004 SEASON PREVIEW2004 SEASON PREVIEW2004 SEASON PREVIEW2004 SEASON PREVIEW2004 SEASON PREVIEW

The 2003 Northern Michigan University volleyball team caughtpeople by surprise. NMU was picked third in the preseason poll,but ended the season with a 26-1 overall record and a perfect 18-0mark in the GLIAC. The only loss came against NorthernKentucky in the NCAA II Great Lakes Regional Tournament.Along the way the team captured the GLIAC VolleyballTournament title. After not being ranked in the 2003 AVCADivision II Coaches Top 25 in the first six rankings the ‘Catsreached a high of 11th in the poll during the season. The 2004campaign looks to be bright for the‘Cats as the squad returns all the mainplayers from last year. According toJim Moore the team needs to go a stepbeyond this year.

“There is no way going into theseason that we thought that we wouldend the regular season at 26-0,”Moore, who is entering his secondseason of his second stint at NMU,said. “I set up the schedule knowingwe had to have success early to getsome confidence to be good enough tohave a chance to win the conference.”Just a season earlier the ‘Cats were 15-15 overall and 9-9 in the GLIAC. Onlyfour of the matches went the distanceof five games in 2003. Of the ‘Cats 26wins last season, 15 were won in threestraight games. Moore was named the2003 GLIAC Volleyball Coach of theYear.

Anne (Kinsella) Hasenstab is thelone letterwinner not returning. Shewas second on the team in 2003 with556 assists and had 249 digs. “The onething that Anne was that she had beenthrough it all,” Moore said. “She hadseen the program for a long period of time and was behind thenew staff.” Hasenstab had the personality on the team that keptthings loose.

Third-team AVCA All-America Aimee Dewitte returns to pacethe ‘Cats for the 2004 campaign. Dewitte missed some time in2003 because of an injury, but still managed to have 214 kills (2.82k/g), 246 digs, 13 block solos and 47 block assists. “Aimee maybe the best all around player in the conference and for sure oneof the best all around players in the country,” Moore said.“Aimee has improved from last year.” Dewitte was also a first-team All-GLIAC North selection as well as being named to theAVCA All-Great Lakes Region Team and to the Daktronics GreatLakes Region Team.

Another big plus returning for the ‘Cats is Jennie Little. Sheled the team in 2003 with 348 kills (3.62 k/g), tallied 133 digs and60 total blocks (13 block solos and 47 block assists). “Jennie isgoing to be difficult to deal with,” Moore added. “She hasimproved dramatically.” Little was named as an honorablemention selection to the AVCA All-America Team and was a first-team All-GLIAC North pick. She was also named to the AVCAand Daktronics All-Region Teams.

Other top returnees include Beth Honaker, Andrea Smith, HollyGreenamyre, Kelli McCune and Ashley Kiel. Kiel was a second-team All-GLIAC pick and was the AVCA’s Great Lakes RegionFreshman of the Year. Smith joined Kiel on the second-team All-GLIAC squad for the 2003 season. Greenamyre was an honorablemention selection to the All-GLIAC team last year. “Holly willmove to the outside hitting position and Beth to the right sideposition,” Moore said. “They actually block better at thosespots.”

Smith and Honaker were almostidentical in kills for the 2003 campaignwith 277 and 276 kills respectively. Kieladded 194 kills and a team-high 47service aces. Kiel also led the team in2003 in blocks and digs. She recorded17 block solos, 82 block assists for 99total blocks to go along with her 348digs. McCune dished-out a team-leading 670 assists.

Liz Kohn who saw some time off thebench as a Libero in 2003 is back forthe 2004 campaign. She had 320 digslast year which was second on theteam.

NMU has seven newcomers joiningthe team in August. “Basically wewanted role players,” Moore said. “Ithink that we got more.” Three of thenewcomers are setters. According toMoore all the setters are capable ofstepping in and contributingsignificantly right away. “One of themis going to have to start,” Mooreadded. Brittany McGowan and JamieMurray are the early favorites to landsome time at the setter position. CarynVanBeckum could also see some time

either on the right or left side. Paris Malin and Megan Elliotcould emerge by seeing some playing time at the Libero position.“These two kids have confidence passing,” Moore said.

During the 2003 season NMU defeated Grand Valley StateUniversity three times. In the GLIAC Tournament championshipmatch the ‘Cats went out to an early two-game lead over theLakers before they won the next two games to send the match toa fifth and deciding game. The ‘Cats won the fifth game 16-14and took the title back to Marquette. But, the Lakers lost toNorth Alabama, the eventual 2003 NCAA II National Champions,in the semifinals of the national championships. The 2004 GLIACrace looks like the same suspects again as Grand Valley, FerrisState and Northwood should battle the ‘Cats in the north. TheUniversity of Findlay looks like the team to beat in the south. “Iwould pick Northwood as the favorite,” Moore said. “Ferris isgoing to be good. Grand Valley is use to winning and will bevery strong.”

This year’s edition of the ‘Cats will not surprise anyone,especially with almost the entire roster back. But, the ‘Cats haveall the pieces in place to make a run at another GLIAC crown andadvance deep into the NCAA Tournament.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(GLIAC) was founded in June 1972. During the two yearsprevious to the GLIAC’s founding, several attempts weremade to create a new NCAA College Division conference. In1971, the Great Lakes Athletic Conference was formed, butplans for the new conference were put on hold, and several ofthe participating schools subsequently withdrew their support.

The idea did not die, though, and since 1972-73 the GLIAChas been a leader in the advancement and promotion ofintercollegiate athletics for men and women.

The GLIAC features a membership of 13 schools: AshlandUniversity, Ferris State University, Gannon University, GrandValley State University, University of Findlay, Hillsdale Col-lege, Lake Superior State University, Mercyhurst College,Michigan Technological University, Northern Michigan Uni-versity, Northwood University, Saginaw Valley State Univer-sity, and Wayne State University.

Overall the GLIAC conducts championships in 21 sports,11 for men and 10 for women. The policy-making body is theGLIAC Executive Council, which is comprised of threerepresentatives from each member institution – its director ofathletics, faculty representative, and senior woman adminis-trator. Final approval of all GLIAC legislation is required by theCouncil of GLIAC Presidents.

As GLIAC commissioner, Tom Brown is responsible forall conference administration. He is beginning his 12th seasonas the conference’s fifth commissioner.

1991


Northern Michigan (27-9) emerged onto the Division II women’svolleyball national scene by qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for thefirst time in school history. Jim Moore regrouped from a 9-23 campaign inhis first season as the Wildcat coach in 1989 to guide Northern to a berth twoyears later in an NCAA regional in Warrensburg, Mo. NMU did not wasteits opportunity as it defeated Missouri-St. Louis (3-0) and host CentralMissouri State (3-1) to advance to its first Elite Eight. The ’Cats wereeliminated, however, by eventual national runner-up Portland State in thequarterfinals by a 3-1 margin.

NCAA QuarterfinalistsAmarillo, Texas

Following their inaugural appearance in the NCAAs, the ’Cats (34-4)thirsted for more success and fell just short of winning their first national title.The journey began by hosting an NCAA regional and defeating GLIAC-foeFerris State, 3-0. The ’Cats met Northern Colorado in the quarterfinals andfought off a shaky second game to register a 3-1 triumph. In the semifinals,Northern dominated defending national champion West Texas A&M witha 3-0 shellacking.

The heartbreak from 1992 carried over into the following year asvirtually the entire squad returned on a mission in its quest to win the nationaltitle. The Wildcats (38-1) became the first team ever to hold the No. 1 nationalranking for an entire season as it suffered only one blemish to its record. Thistime Northern would host the Elite Eight after dispatching arch-rivalMichigan Tech in the Great Lakes Regional. With a boisterous home crowdon its side, the ’Cats tookfull advantage of their fa-miliar surroundings with3-0 victories over New Ha-ven and Northern Colo-rado in the quarterfinalsand semifinals, respec-tively. NMU met Cal.-State Bakersfield in the fi-nals, which was coachedby eventual Wildcat headcoach Mark Rosen. TheRoadrunners had handedNorthern its only setbackof the season to snap theWildcats’ school-record28-game winning streak.CSUB came out firing witha 15-4 victory in the firstgame, but Northern recov-ered to capture the finalthree games – 15-5, 15-3,15-10 – and the first NCAA title in a women’s team sport in school history.An Elite Eight record of 6,825 fans turned out for the three-day affair,including 3,112 for the championship match.

1993NCAA ChampionsMarquette, Mich.

With only one starter returning from the 1993 NCAA championshipsquad, not as much was expected from the ’Cats (32-4). However, thedetermination and character from the previous two seasons carried over andcontinued NMU’s stay as a major factor on the national scene. Under first-year head coach Mark Rosen, NMU defeated Wayne State (3-0) in the firstround of the Great Lakes Regional before upsetting host and top-seedMichigan Tech to advance to the Elite Eight for a fourth straight year. The’Cats then defeated New Haven (3-0) and Central Missouri State (3-0) toreach the finals versus host and No. 1-ranked Cal.-State Bakersfield in arematch of the previous year’s national championship match.

ABOUT NMUABOUT NMUABOUT NMUABOUT NMUABOUT NMU

Awesome FacilitiesNorthern Michigan University boasts one of the finest collections of athletic facilities in NCAA II, if not the country. A connected unit of three first-ratefacilities, the Superior Dome, the Physical Education Instructional Facility (PEIF), that houses the Vandament Arena, and the Berry Events Center are usedby NMU for the majority of its athletic events.

Vandament ArenaThe Vandament Arena is a volleyball-only facility, one of the finest in NCAA II, and is located inside NMU’s PEIF. The arena, which is named for formerNMU President William E. Vandament (1991-97), opened in 1995 and was officially dedicated in 1997. Vandament, an avid supporter of the Wildcatvolleyball team, was Northern’s president when the Wildcats won their national championships in 1993 and 1994.Since 1995, the Wildcats have posted a 112-16 record for a winning percentage of .875. Included in that total is part of a school-record 66-match homecourt winning streak, and part of a conference record 80-match string of home wins.The 1,500-seat arena features retractable bleachers on each side of the main court. When not used for volleyball matches, Vandament Arena has threebasketball/volleyball courts for student use. The volleyball team uses a new locker room, located adjacent to the arena. It features individualized woodlockers for each player. The team room contains a computer and a big-screen television, which the players use to break down opponent video and go overscouting reports prior to matches.

Physical Education Instructional Facility (PEIF)The PEIF, as it is more commonly called, houses the PEIF Pool, home to the NMU swimming and diving team, and Vandament Arena. Opened in 1999,the two-level recreation center a new rock climbing wall, weight room, cardiovascular area, two basketball courts, seven racquetball courts, a tennis court,

The hockeyplayers and speedskaters compete on an Olympic-size ice sheet measuring 200 by 100 feet.Northern is one of two schools, AlaskaFairbanks being the other, in the CentralCollegiate Hockey Association with thelarger ice sheet.The basketball team plays on protectiveflooring, placed over the ice in a processthat takes about five hours. During abasketball game seating for 500 fans isavailable courtside, while the entire seatingcapacity of the facility is 3,800.The Berry Events Center is named afterJohn W. Berry Jr., a 1971 NMU graduate,

who donated $2 to the project. It was opened in 1999. In addition to the main arena, the facilityincludes a weight room, athletic training room, meeting rooms, numerous locker rooms, a multi-level press area, and a support area.The BEC is also designed to host concerts and community events, and is equipped with moveabletheatrical rigging and lighting.

Superior DomeThe Superior Dome is the world’s largest wooden dome. It has been the home to NMU’s footballteam since 1991, and is considered one of the finest football facility in the Great Lakes Intercolle-giate Athletic Conference.The Dome stands 14 stories high, encompasses 5.1 acres under its roof and has a permanent seating capacity of 8,000, but the building can hold as many as

16,000 people. A retractable artificial turf carpet, the largest of its kind in the world, canaccommodate a football, soccer, and field hockey game. Underneath the carpet is a syntheticplaying surface that features three basketball/volleyball courts, two tennis courts, and a 200-metertrack. The dome also holds locker rooms, department offices, meeting rooms, concession areas,and a retail store.The Superior Dome is also used for the Michigan High School Athletic Association football regularseason and playoff games, trade shows, conventions, conferences, banquets, high school trackmeets, Special Olympics, and NMU’s commencement exercises.

Soccer FieldIn August 2002, the unused plot of university land located behind the Superior Dome was trans-formed into four fields that span 80 yards wide and 120 yards long. Two are now home to theNMU women’s soccer team; the other two are reserved as practice fields for the NMU footballteam. Bleachers and a new scoreboard, agift to the university from the PepsiCorporation, completes the facility’s setup.

winter evening, both practice sites have lighted trails. One site is at the Al Quaal Ski trails innearby Ishpeming. There are three, five kilometer trails that are extremely well designed andmaintained for NMU’s competitive collegiate events. For easier trails or less strenuous practicedays, the teams ski at Blueberry Ridge Ski trails in Sands Township, an area just outside Marquette.This practice site has four major loops that measure five kilometers each.

can utilize their notebook computers to

the fullest extent.

Along with the academic facilities, nine

residence halls are organized into

living areas called “houses,”

which include 40 to 45 students

who actively shape their own

living environments. Four

students share a suite, and all

residence halls have great

locations within five minutes of

eating, learning and studying.

Mostly the most vital part of the

campus is not its bricks and mortar but its people,

particularly the outstanding faculty members of which

more than 80 percent hold a doctorate or the

highest degree in their field. At

Northern, the class ratio isabout

20 students to one faculty

member and teaching is our

faculty’s No. 1 priority.
