NEBRASKA COLISEUM

The Wall of Honor was unveiled in 2003 to permanently showcase the greatest players in Nebraska volleyball history. Six former Huskers have received the honor, most recently Stephanie Thater in 2008.

The Nebraska Coliseum has been sold out for the last 135 matches dating back to the 2001 season. It is the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics.

The Husker Courtside Club was established in 2005, providing fans an up-close view of Husker volleyball. It was one of the first premium seating locations for volleyball in the country.

Jordan Larson and the Huskers take on Oklahoma during the 2007 season. The Huskers won 82 straight matches at the NU Coliseum from 2004 until 2009.

2010 HUSKERS

2010: OutlookOne of the strengths of the 2010 Huskers is at the

setter position, where two-time All-American Sydney Anderson returns for her senior year • Guided Nebraska to 57 wins in her two years as the Huskers’ starting setter and has led her teams to an 85-14 mark (.859) during her collegiate career • Collected third-team All-America honors, as she averaged 11.53 assists, 0.77 kills and 2.45 digs per set in 2009 • Totaled 14 double-doubles (assists-digs) and helped Nebraska sweep 10 of its final 11 opponents on the way to the regional finals • Stands in ninth place on Nebraska’s career assist list with 2,683 and could challenge for a spot in the top five during the 2010 season • Is one of five two-time AVCA All-Americans back around the country in 2010 • Bidding to become the third Husker setter to earn three AVCA All-America awards, joining Griechaly Cepero (2000-02) and Fiona Nepo (1996-98) • Has natural leadership qualities and a personality that draws teammates to her • Was a member of the U.S. National Team before joining the Husker program, spending two summers playing for the U.S. A-2 National Team • Helped the USA-Blue team to a third-place finish at the 2008 USA Open Championships in Atlanta • Began her college career at Utah in 2006, guiding the Utes to a 28-4 record and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Tournament • Is the first player from Utah to play volleyball at Nebraska and will enjoy a homecoming in September when the Huskers travel to BYU.

2010 HUSKERS

2010: OutlookOne of the overlooked reasons for the Huskers’

late-season surge last year was the development of right side hitter Lindsey Licht (pronounced LITE) • Proved to be one of the Big 12’s best attackers during the second half of last year, hitting .350 and averaging 3.32 kills per set in helping the Huskers to 12-2 record over their last 14 contests • Led the Huskers in kills 11 times on the season, including seven of the NU’s final 10 matches • Showed the ability to stay healthy while setting personal bests in kills (326), blocks (107) and hitting percentage (.271) • Paced Nebraska in kills in both NCAA regional matches, and has the ability to be an elite attacker as well as an imposing force at the net • Proven postseason performer who has reached double figures in kills in each of the Huskers’ last four NCAA Regional contests • Was fully healthy in the spring for the first time in her career, which aided in her continued development entering her final campaign • Ties for the tallest player in school history at 6-foot-5 (also Sarah Pavan and Morgan Broekhuis) • Hails from the Front Range Volleyball Club in Colorado, the same program that produced former Husker All-Americans Rachel Holloway and Tracy Stalls.

“Lindsey showed people the level she could play at when healthy last season,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “She played at an All-America level during the second half of Big 12 play and that has carried over to this year. She is a point scorer for us and allows us to be able to run some points.”

2010 HUSKERS

2010: OutlookOne of the many positives of the Huskers’ trip to

China was the breakthrough performance of middle blocker Allison McNeal • Capped a strong spring season by hitting nearly .500 on the Huskers’ 10-match trip, while finishing third on the squad in both kills (62) and blocks (18) • Possesses the tools to be an elite middle blocker as she has outstanding leaping ability and long arms • Has gotten stronger over the last two years • Combines size and athleticism that creates difficult angles for opponents • Played sparingly last season, appearing in 11 matches and chipping in 0.68 kills and 0.47 blocks per set • Has played behind three All-Big 12 performers at the position (Kori Cooper, Brooke Delano and Amanda Gates) and has steadily improved while waiting for her chance to take center stage • Former state high jump champion in Texas who was the No. 4 recruit nationally in 2008 • Will challenge Jordan Wilberger for one of the starting middle blocker spots alongside Delano, a second-team All-American last season.

“Our trip to China was a breakthrough for Allison as she was a dominant player for us,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “She proved to herself what we’ve seen in glimpses over the past two years - that she can be a big time player in this program. Allison has always had the

tools to become a great player, but now has seen what she can do, and having that experience she can draw on. I’m excited to see what she can do this season.”

2009: Redshirt FreshmanMcNeal gained valuable experience as a freshman,

appearing in 11 matches, primarily when the Huskers shifted into a 6-2 offense • Averaged 0.68 kills and 0.47 blocks per set while hitting .321 on the season • Played in six Big 12 matches, including the regular-season finale against Colorado on Nov. 28, when she had three kills and a block in the third set • Started against Texas Tech on Oct. 28 and had a block and a dig against the Red Raiders • Recorded a kill in her only swing at No. 19 Baylor on Oct. 14 • Had a block on her first point against K-State on Oct. 10 • Came off the bench for a kill and a block in the last set against Texas A&M on Sept. 23 • Saw extensive action against Texas Tech on Sept. 16, recording a kill before suffering a bloody nose • Made her first career start against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 4, totaling a season-high six kills on .333 hitting with a personal-best four blocks in the opening game of the LSU Tiger Classic.

“The thing that stands out about Megan is her athleticism,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “She showed the ability to play at a high level at times last year, and is working to become more consistent. Having another year in our system will only benefit her. We will also have her train at outside hitter to give us additional depth at that spot.”

2010 HUSKERS

2010: OutlookThe Huskers were dealt an off-season blow with

the loss of middle blocker Hayley Thramer (pronounced Tray-mer) • Suffered a shoulder injury in the Huskers’ final spring match at Minnesota, and she underwent season-ending surgery following the team’s trip to China • Had enjoyed a strong spring prior to the injury and made a strong push to be in the Huskers’ middle blocker rotation • Was a former multi-sport standout who made great strides in strength and technique in her first season at Nebraska • Is a very fluid athlete with long arms and the ability to disrupt at the net • Has been around winning teams throughout her career, winning four state titles in high school while joining Gina Mancuso and Lauren Cook on the Nebraska Juniors 18-and-Under national championship squad in 2009 • Is making good progress in her rehabilitation program and should be close to 100 percent for the Huskers for the 2011 season.

“Losing Hayley was a blow to our team because she was playing at a very high level in the spring,” Nebraska Coach John Cook. “She is someone who is not afraid of hard work and can pick up things quickly. The good thing for us is that she should recover and be healthy for next season.”

“Morgan has a chance to be a special player in this program,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “There are not too many 6-foot-5 lefties who can play all the way around. The most impressive thing about her is the composure and maturity she has on the court. She picks things up on the court as fast as any freshman we’ve had here. When you watch her on the court, she does not play like a freshman.”

High SchoolBroekhuis was one of the the top seniors in the

country playing for her father, Mike, at Colorado Springs Christian School • Named the ESPN Rise National High School Player of the Year and ranked as the No. 2 senior nationally by Prepvolleyball.com after leading Christian to a 30-0 record and sixth consecutive state title • Totaled 465 kills, 411 assists, 40 blocks, 167 digs and 30 aces while running a 6-2 offense, as her team dropped just four sets all season • Was a two-time Gatorade Player of the Year in Colorado and was the Denver Post Player of the Year as a senior • Selected a 2009 AVCA High School All-American and played in the Under Armour High School All-America match in Tampa • Earned player-of-the-year honors for the first time following a junior year when she recorded 474 kills, 440 assists and 201 digs • Earned first-team all-state honors all four years in high school and was a three-time Class 3A state tournament MVP • Selected to the 2009 U.S. Junior National Team, starting several matches at opposite on a team of top seniors and college-level players • Excelled in the classroom, as she finished her high school career with a 4.14 GPA • Looked at Texas and Washington before selecting to become a Husker • Comes from an athletic background, as her mother and father both played college sports while her older brother (Taylor) is a 6-foot-10 forward on the Air Force Academy basketball team.

“Lauren has been successful at every level she has played and brings a lot of big-match experience into our program,” Nebraska Coach John Cook said. “Having her in our gym lifts the level of play at both sides of the net and helps all of our players improve. She is willing to fit in whatever role to help this team accomplish its goals.”

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION

The philosophy of John Cook can be summarized in two simple words.

Dream Big.When Cook took over the reins of the Nebraska

volleyball program, the challenge facing him was daunting. Cook replaced one of the sport’s legendary coaches in Terry Pettit, who won 694 matches and guided the Huskers to 18 consecutive NCAA appearances and six national semifinals.

Cook, who left an emerging power in Wisconsin to guide the tradition-rich Husker program, had his own vision for Nebraska volleyball. He saw a program that had even more potential to grow. His goals included consistently selling out home matches at the NU Coliseum, expanding the media exposure for his program and most importantly, continuing the tradition of athletic and academic excellence started by Pettit nearly a quarter of a century earlier.

Cook saw the long-range potential of building the audience across the state. He also believed Nebraska could shine by hosting the sport’s championship in the largest setting college volleyball had ever seen.

When others saw risks, Cook saw opportunities. In 2006, Cook’s dream was realized, as the Husker

Nation had an opportunity to see Nebraska raise the bar in college volleyball. From record-setting, sold-out crowds at the Qwest Center Omaha, to a team that maximized its potential in winning the school’s third national title, the Huskers enjoyed a remarkable season.

The Huskers entered the 2006 campaign with many questions, as they were forced to replace three All-Americans, including AVCA National Player-of-the-Year Christina Houghtelling. With four first-year starters on the court, including freshmen at setter and middle blocker, and sky-high expectations with the NCAA Championships in Omaha for the first time, 2006 shaped up to be Cook’s toughest coaching job to date.

Nebraska took on all challenges head-on, going 33-1 and becoming only the third team in NCAA history to be ranked No. 1 the entire season. The Huskers went on the road and overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Minnesota to reach the national semifinals, marking the first time that Nebraska had won a regional outside the state. That victory set the stage for a watershed moment in college volleyball. Behind sellout crowds of over 17,000, the Huskers captured the school’s third national title with victories over No. 4 UCLA and No. 2 Stanford. Four players earned AVCA All-America honors, including Sarah Pavan,

who became NU’s first Honda-Broderick Cup winner.Two years later, the NCAA Championships returned to

Omaha with another Husker team taking center stage.An all-time NCAA attendance record of 17,430

traveled through a winter storm to witness one of the greatest matches in Nebraska’s illustrious history. After dropping the first two sets to No. 1 Penn State, Nebraska fought back, winning the next two sets to hand the Nittany Lions their only set losses of the 2008 season. Although the Huskers were unable to complete the comeback, the performance symbolized a never-say-quit attitude that fueled the team’s success. Despite losing a pair of performers to season-ending injuries, the Huskers went 31-3 and won their fifth consecutive conference title. At the Seattle Regional, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to send the match to a fifth set and trailed 9-3 in the fifth set before regrouping and earning the school’s 11th trip to the NCAA semifinals. Jordan Larson, Tara Mueller and Sydney Anderson all earned All-America honors, while Larson was named Big 12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to sweep both honors.

Consistent excellence has been a hallmark of Cook’s Nebraska squads. Over the last decade, Cook has guided the Huskers to a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances and eight Big 12 titles. His teams have compiled a national-best 307-26 record, including a 188-12 Big 12 mark. Overall, Cook is 100-21 against ranked teams at NU, including a 19-11 mark against top-five teams.

With Cook at the helm, Nebraska has produced numerous individual honors, including four U.S. National Team members, a Honda-Broderick Cup winner, three AVCA Division I National Players of the Year, two NCAA Top Eight Award winners, 32 AVCA All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans of the Year, 17 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, six Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. Husker student-athletes have also combined for 37 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 55 academic All-Big 12 certificates.

Cook’s accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed, as he is a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year, earning the prestigious honor in 2000 and 2005, and a three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year. He is one of only four active coaches - and one of six all-time - to be a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year and was honored in 2008 by USA Volleyball, receiving its All-Time Great Coach Award.

The Huskers have enjoyed unprecedented success over the last six seasons, making three appearances in the

NCAA semifinals. Nebraska is also only the school to reach the Elite Eight in each of the last six years.

During the 2009 season, Nebraska overcame a slow start to play its best volleyball down the stretch. The Huskers won 10 straight matches - all by sweep - before falling to eventual runner-up Texas in the regional final. NU finished with a 26-7 record and was ranked fifth in the final AVCA poll. Brooke Delano and Sydney Anderson earned AVCA All-America honors, while Kori Cooper repeated as a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American.

In 2007, the Huskers set a pair of NCAA single-match attendance records and won the Big 12 title for the fourth consecutive year. The Huskers advanced to the regional final before a loss to Cal ended a 30-2 season, while a school-record five Huskers earned AVCA All-America awards. Pavan, Houghtelling and Tracy Stalls all earned first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

The 2005 campaign was a special one for the Nebraska program. The Huskers advanced to the national title match for the fifth time in school history and finished with a 33-2 mark. Nebraska led the nation in blocking (4.12 per game) and ranked in the top 10 nationally in assists, kills and hitting percentage. Four Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Houghtelling was named AVCA National Player of the Year.

Cook’s vision is for the Huskers to remain at the forefront of college volleyball to enhance the sport at both the local and national levels. Nebraska enters 2010 with an NCAA-record 135 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum - the longest sellout streak in NCAA women’s athletics.

Cook has also been instrumental in helping to expand the program’s visibility throughout the state and the Midwest. Nebraska played a regular-season match in North Platte in 2004, and the team has played exhibition matches in Scottsbluff, Ogallala and Wayne over the last decade. In addition, Cook’s efforts have helped Nebraska enjoy one of the most extensive multi-media packages in the country, as every match is carried live on a state-wide radio network and nearly every contest is shown either live on television or streamed live on the Internet.

“It is a reflection of Nebraska volleyball and the program, and not about one person or one player,” Cook said when accepting the AVCA Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2005. “We’re trying to be a leader in the sport. We’re trying to take risks and dream big, and fortunately I’m surrounded by a lot of people who have that vision. I’m really proud of what we’re doing to try and enhance the sport.”

Three Straight 30-Win SeasonsCook immediately started to create his own legacy

after taking over for Pettit. In his first season at the helm,

Cook was named the AVCA National Coach of the Year after guiding the Huskers to a 34-0 record and the 2000 national championship. The Huskers, who became just the second team in NCAA history to cap an undefeated season with a national title, were ranked No. 1 in the AVCA/USA Today Top 25 poll for 14 straight weeks. Greichaly Cepero earned AVCA National Player-of-the-Year honors. Three Huskers claimed AVCA All-America certificates, and five Nebraska players were named to the All-Big 12 teams. Laura Pilakowski earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and a conference-best seven Huskers earned academic All-Big 12 recognition.

In 2001, Cook’s second season, Nebraska fell just two wins short of capturing another NCAA title. The Huskers, who were ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the AVCA poll all season, went 20-0 in the Big 12 and Cook was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year. NU finished the season with a 31-2 record after falling to eventual national champion Stanford in the NCAA semifinals. Nebraska placed four players on the AVCA All-America teams, while right side hitter Nancy Metcalf was selected as an NCAA Top Eight Award winner and was also named the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year. Pilakowski and Cepero joined Metcalf on the CoSIDA Academic All-America teams, as Pilakowski earned second-team honors and Cepero received third-team recognition.

In Cook’s third season, the Huskers continued their remarkable success. NU finished the season ranked fifth in the AVCA poll with a 31-2 record to secure its third straight 30-win season. Nebraska produced the most dominant conference season in school history, going 20-0 and losing just two sets en route to winning the league championship for the third straight year. Cepero and Amber Holmquist again earned first-team AVCA All-America honors, and Pilakowski was recognized on the second team. Pilakowski was named a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American, and Holmquist was a second-team pick. Cepero, Holmquist and Pilakowski shared Big 12 Player-of-the-Year accolades.

Cook faced perhaps his greatest coaching challenge at Nebraska in 2003, when the Huskers had to replace three All-Americans and their first-ever libero. That season, Cook opted to run a 6-2 (two-setter) offense to utilize as many players as possible. NU went on to finish the season with a 28-5 record and an appearance in the Sweet 16.

The 2004 season may have been one of Cook’s best coaching jobs, as a youthful squad that featured five freshmen and sophomores in the lineup went 30-2 and was ranked No. 1 heading into the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers led the nation in both opponent hitting percentage (.103) and blocks per game (4.02) before falling to two-time defending NCAA champion USC in five sets in

the regional final. Three Huskers earned AVCA All-America honors, while Pavan was chosen as the AVCA National Freshman of the Year. That group of Huskers became the centerpiece of Nebraska’s consecutive NCAA Finals teams in 2005 and 2006.

Building the BadgersCook, who served as an assistant under Pettit for three

seasons from 1988 to 1991, took over the Nebraska head coaching job after serving as associate head coach during the 1999 season. Before returning to Nebraska in 1999, Cook led Wisconsin to six straight postseason appearances in seven seasons as the Badgers’ head coach.

Cook’s accomplishments at Wisconsin earned him praise as one of the game’s top young coaches. Cook built the Badgers into a top-10 program during his seven-year career in Madison, which included back-to-back trips to the NCAA regional finals in 1997 and 1998.

In his final match at Wisconsin, Cook’s Badgers fell to the Huskers in a three-hour, five-set battle in the 1998 Pacific Regional Championship in the NU Coliseum. Wisconsin ended the season ranked seventh in the final USA Today/AVCA Coaches Poll with a 30-5 record.

Cook compiled a 161-73 ledger at the helm of the Badgers, including an 89-51 league mark in one of the nation’s toughest conferences. He was named the Big Ten Co-Coach and AVCA District 2 Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading the Badgers to a share of the Big Ten title with a 19-1 mark and school-best 30-3 overall record.

In his seven years at Wisconsin, the Badgers advanced to six straight postseason tournaments, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 1995, Wisconsin won the National Invitational Volleyball Championship with a perfect 6-0 record. During his tenure at UW, he coached four AVCA All-Americans, nine AVCA All-District award winners, 11 All-Big Ten honorees and two Big Ten Freshmen of the Year. He also coached 21 academic All-Big Ten selections.

Other Coaching ExperiencesCook also brings Olympic and championship

experience to the Husker staff. As the first assistant coach with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball team, Cook aided the United States to a bronze medal in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The team’s defensive coordinator,

he was also in charge of scouting and supervising the team’s flexibility, strength and conditioning programs. For his Olympic coaching experience, Cook was honored in June of 1993 at the NACDA/USOC Collegiate Coaches Recognition Awards Luncheon. He also served as the head coach of the Women’s National Volleyball Training Team in 2004.

During his first tenure at Nebraska (1989-91), the Huskers advanced to the NCAA semifinals two of the three seasons, including a runner-up finish in 1989. Nebraska went 36-0 in conference play, capturing three Big Eight Conference titles. During that time, he served as Pettit’s recruiting coordinator, chief scout and strength and conditioning coordinator. Cook was also the liaison with the academic advising center.

In the U.S. Olympic Festival competition, Cook served as head coach of the bronze medal-winning North team in 1989 and was an assistant coach with the third-place West team in 1987.

A co-founder of the San Diego Volleyball Club, Cook served as a coach with the club from 1986 to 1988. The club won two Southern California Regional Championships and finished among the final four teams twice in the

USVBA Junior Olympics for girls 18 and under.Cook also served as the head assistant coach at the

University of California-San Diego from 1983 to 1984, where he aided the Tritons to an NCAA Division III national championship in 1984 and a second-place national finish in 1983. Cook’s coaching credentials also include leading Francis Parker High School in San Diego to two California state championships. During his six-year coaching stint from 1981 to 1988, he had an overall record of 162-18, including a 90-match winning streak.

A well-known speaker on volleyball skills, Cook travels around the nation participating in clinics. During his stay at Wisconsin, he served as the host of the Badger Coaching Symposium every spring.

A graduate of the University of San Diego, Cook earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 1979. He completed his master’s degree in teaching and coaching effectiveness from San Diego State in 1991.

Cook and his wife Wendy, a former two-time All-America setter at San Diego State, are the parents of two children, Lauren, 19, and Taylor, 16. Lauren will be a sophomore at Nebraska this fall.

Q AND A WITH COACH COOK

Whatisyourcoachingphilosophy?There are four things that come to mind. No. 1, I

see myself as a teacher. It was always my dream to be a teacher, and coaching is teaching. No. 2, next to my family and my faith, the people involved with Nebraska volleyball are the most important thing in my life.

Third we like to recruit great athletes and are flexible enough to create a system that takes advantage of the strengths of the players in our program, so our players can reach their full potential. How can we make each athlete the best volleyball player they can be? That’s the question we try to answer. Finally, our players are committed to academic excellence and becoming complete student-athletes.WhatdoyouenjoymostaboutcoachingatNebraska?

There are two things that make coaching at Nebraska so special. First, it is the passion of the people across the state for our team. There is a love affair between our players and the fans across the state.

Second, is that our players are great young women who work hard, make great choices and are excellent students. In 2006, we won an NCAA title, as well as the Life Skills Award for the athletic department. We have a group of people who are committed to giving back to the community and understand that there is more to college life than volleyball.Whenyouarerecruitingapotentialstudent-athlete,whatareNebraska’sbiggestsellingpoints?

I think the best thing for a recruit to do is see our team play. We play at a high level, but what may be most important, is how we play. It’s a very exciting brand of volleyball based on great athletes moving very quickly and transitioning very fast. We’ve always had a reputation of taking great athletes and training them to become exceptional volleyball players.

We have a great academic tradition with our academic support staff, the Hewit Center and our Student Life Center which opens this fall. We lead the nation in academic All-America honors, NCAA Top Eight Award winners and the majority of our players go on to graduate school following their playing careers.

I think another important factor is the exposure our program receives. Our goal is to be on the cutting edge. We are the only program in the country that has its own volleyball radio network, a state-wide weekly television program and nearly every match shown live on the Internet. This gives us opportunities to connect with our fans, and has played a major role in our sellout streak.

Our school’s rich volleyball tradition over the years also plays an important role in recruiting. In many cases, people know they were meant to be here.

Whatdoyoulookforinarecruit?Academically we have a tradition of great student-

athletes. Because the program’s emphasis is on being accountable, the program attracts people who have already been successful in the classroom. But we’ve also taken some people who were merely good students and helped them become great students.

In addition to looking for great student-athletes, the players we attract to Nebraska are ones who not only have the athletic ability to be successful, but also are highly competitive. They don’t shy away from challenges, whether it is in practices or in matches because they know it will allow them to reach their full potential as a player.

We are also in a unique situation at Nebraska where our student-athletes have a platform to make a difference in people’s lives. We look for people who are going to embrace that opportunity and give back to the community.Talkaboutyourprogram’semphasisondevelopingplayersfortheirpost-collegiatecareers?

At Nebraska, we believe that the program we put in place gives our players a chance to play beyond their college career. When I was with the men’s national team for the 1992 Olympics, I got an understanding of what it takes to be the best in the world. We’ve tried to implement that at Nebraska and call it Training the Whole Athlete.

It just doesn’t mean we are going to make them a great volleyball player. Obviously, we are going to do that and our program’s success reflects that. We are going to train them mentally on how to compete at the highest level and continue on if they elect to do so. It is also about getting them to understand the self-discipline it takes to work in the weight room, understanding their bodies and knowing how to take care of them in areas such as flexibility, recovery and nutrition.

Our mission in this program is two-fold. One is prepare them if they want to have a professional career. Second, many of our former players are going into coaching, and they are leaving Nebraska armed with lots of information. If they can go into coaching, they have the ability to make a tremendous impact on the lives of other people with that information. It is a two-fold mission, and we feel that our program has a great understanding and implements it as well as anyone in the country in a college setting. Whatdoyouhopestudent-athletestakefromtheiryearswiththeNebraskavolleyballprogram?

First, we hope they have the opportunity to play professionally. We had nine former players playing around the world last year and that is a testament to their hard work in reaching their playing potential. Another way we

measure that is by how many of them go into coaching after they graduate. Over 50 percent of our former players are in the coaching ranks, whether it is at the college, high school or club level.

The second thing we want them to understand is the importance of giving back. At Nebraska, our players are viewed by the public and kids in the state with almost a rock star status. What we hope they learned at Nebraska is to use that platform to create a positive message and take that lesson throughout their lives. HowimportantistheNUColiseumtoHuskervolleyball?

I have coached at Nebraska in some capacity for nearly 15 years, and time and time again, I’ve seen the Coliseum will the Huskers to wins in close matches. I don’t know if it’s the ghosts or spirits of the building, or maybe just the intense energy of the fans, but playing in the Coliseum has become pivotal to our success.

It’s exciting for the players to know that no matter who the opponent is, the Huskers will play in front of a sold-out crowd. We annually rank among the national attendance leaders and have 135 consecutive sellouts at the NU Coliseum. Our fans give us an unmatched home court advantage.

Her additional duties include serving as the team video coordinator and as a liaison for academics and community involvement. She also assists with summer camps and coaching clinics.

Over the last three seasons, Stemke has coached two All-American setters in Sydney Anderson and Rachel Holloway, who have combined to lead the Huskers to 87 wins and a pair of Big 12 titles. Stemke also played a major role in the recruitment of a pair of top-10 recruiting classes, including the 2009 class that was ranked second nationally by Prepvolleyball.com. Her contributions to NU’s success have been noticed, as Stemke was named one of the country’s top-10 assistant coaches by Volleyball Magazine in February of 2010.

Last season, Anderson became a two-time All-American, averaging 11.53 assists per set to help Nebraska to a sixth consecutive regional final. In 2008, Anderson earned second-team AVCA All-America honors, ranking eighth nationally in assists at 11.60 per set, as the Huskers replaced four All-Americans from the previous season.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION

Erik Sullivan is in his third season with the Nebraska volleyball program. He handles player training and works with the middle blockers while serving as recruiting co-coordinator. Sullivan also handles opponent scouting and game preparation and oversees NU’s summer camps.

Sullivan’s stint at Nebraska marks his second stop in the Big 12, as he served as an assistant coach at Colorado for four seasons. He said his extensive playing background with the national team and professionally has helped shape his coaching philosophies.

“The thing I learned playing around the world is that you can win in different ways,” Sullivan said. “There is not one model or style that leads to success. Many of the players at Nebraska have aspirations of playing either professionally or at the national team level, and I can help in their preparation and with the demands of continuing a volleyball career following college.”

A two-time U.S. Olympian, Sullivan has made a quick impact in the Husker program, as he has tutored a pair of first-team All-Big 12 performers in Brooke Delano (2009) and Kori Cooper (2008-09) along with Amanda Gates, who earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 laurels in 2008. Delano, who ranked fifth in the Big 12 in both blocks and hitting percentage, earned second-team AVCA All-America honors in 2009, while Cooper, who topped the Big 12 in hitting percentage as a senior, was a two-time honorable-mention All-America selection. His middle blockers have also excelled off the court, as Cooper (2008-09) and Gates (2008) were honored as first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America selections.

Before NebraskaIn his four years at Colorado, Sullivan helped the

Buffaloes to three straight NCAA appearances and helped tutor a pair of players who earned All-Big 12 recognition, including two-time all-region selection Allie Griffin, who is currently playing on the AVP Tour. He worked primarily with the outside hitters and team passing during his time in the Buffaloes’ program. In 2006, he helped Colorado knock off No. 1 Nebraska, the only loss on the NCAA champion Huskers (33-1) schedule that season.

Playing ExperienceSullivan, 37, brings a wealth of playing experience into

the Husker program, including eight years with the U.S. National Team. He started for Team USA at libero at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and served as co-captain of Team USA at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

His defensive successes are well documented. He earned Best Defensive Player in the World at the 1998 World Championships and that same year he earned the USA National Team’s Tom Haine Players’ Award. Sullivan was touted as the America’s Cup Best Reception Player in 2000 and the Best Libero at the 2001 World Championship Qualifier. He was the Best Defensive Player at the 1997 NORCECA Zone Championships and the Best Reception Player at the 1999 NORCECA.

Sullivan’s playing experience has also stretched to the professional ranks in Europe. His professional resume includes stints in Naefels, Switzerland (1995-97), Malaga, Spain (1999), Apeldoorn, The Netherlands (2000-01) and Odintsovo, Russia (2003). In the United States, Sullivan played professionally on the Four-Man Volleyball Beach Tour in 1996-97. He was named the tour’s Rookie of the Year in 1996 and was tabbed the tour’s Left Side Player of the Year in 1997.

In addition to his playing experience, Sullivan served as director of the Pikes Peak Volleyball Club in Colorado Springs, Colo., from 2001 to 2002 and served as coach of the club’s 17 & Under contingent.

A two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) second-team All-American at UCLA, Sullivan led the Bruins to a pair of national titles during his four-year playing career (1992-95). Sullivan finished his career as UCLA’s all-time leader in matches with 10 or more digs (25) and ranked second in career digs (747). As a senior in 1995, Sullivan captained the Bruins to an NCAA title while ranking ninth nationally in digs (2.5 dpg). He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in physiological science in the spring of 1995.

A native of Encinitas, Calif., Sullivan is married to the former Amanda Heavner of Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple has a daughter, Shaye (8) and a son, Cade (3).

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION

Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past three seasons.

With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first three years as athletic director. In 2009-10, Nebraska finished 17th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup final standings, the Huskers’ best showing since 2000-01.

One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with back-to-back nine-win seasons and a pair of Big 12 North Division titles in his first two years. In 2009, the Huskers notched 10 wins, including a 33-0 win over Arizona in the Holiday Bowl, while finishing in the top 15 in both major national polls.

The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed a pair of Big 12 titles and advanced to three NCAA Elite Eight appearances, while the women’s basketball program has earned two NCAA Tournament trips, while notching the best season in school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top 16 at three straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s track and field team has captured a pair of Big 12 outdoor crowns, while the men’s and women’s teams have produced five top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past three years. The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams both produced top-10 NCAA finishes in 2010, while the Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past three years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in the last three years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010.

In addition to their competitive success, the Huskers have continued to set high standards academically at both the conference and national levels. Nebraska led the Big 12 with eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2009-10, increasing NU’s nation-leading total to 277 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 178 academic all-conference selections, along with a conference-record 687 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 121 student-athletes from August of 2009 through May of 2010, while increasing its Big 12-leading exhausted eligibility graduation rate to 94 percent.

The Huskers also have continued to set the standard on the national level in the area of life skills. In 2010-11, Nebraska will open its new Student Life Center, which is designed to help Husker student-athletes maximize their performance in the classroom and the community.

The Student Life Center is the first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s athletic facilities. In the summer of 2010, the athletic department broke ground on the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which will directly benefit the men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling programs with new practice and team areas. The project is also expected to lead to additional opportunities for improved

facilities for many other Husker Olympic sport programs. The Hendricks Training Complex is scheduled to open before the 2011-12 season.

In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Haymarket Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14.

Not long after the historic vote in Lincoln, Osborne helped Chancellor Harvey Perlman announce an even more historic move with the shift by Nebraska from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011-12. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come.

Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to NU as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.

Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season.

In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998.

Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons.

Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games.

In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history.

Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

COACHES & ADMINISTRATION

COMPLIANCE INFORMATION/gUIDELINES FOR FANSThe University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big 12 Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA PrinciplesInstitutional Control

It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

ResponsibilityThe University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes

responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.

ComplianceThe University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to

identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.

Q:Whataretherulesofemploymentforastudent-athlete?A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation

period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product.

Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.

2009 REVIEW

SEASON IN REVIEW

MAKINg StRIdES: HuSKERS OVERcOME SLOW StARt;

The journey taken by the 2009 Nebraska volleyball took may have been different than past teams, but the experience along the way made it more worthwhile.

While the Huskers finished the season with a 26-7 record and reached the regional final, it was the commitment to the process that made Nebraska Coach John Cook burst with pride as he talked about his team one final time.

While he was disappointed in the loss to Texas that kept Nebraska one match away from a fourth trip to the NCAA semifinals in five years, Cook said the strides the 2009 Huskers made from start to finish were more than any of his previous nine teams at NU.

“If you look at where this team was in September to winning 31 sets in a row...this team has improved more than any team we’ve had at Nebraska,” Cook said following the Huskers’ final match of the season. “They’ve done everything we’ve asked, and we were able to get to a regional final.”

“Even though we lost this match, this team just got better,” Cook said. “Now, our team and our younger players have a better understanding of what it’s going to take to win a regional final and the things that we have to get better at.”

Two of the reasons for Nebraska’s improvement were the play of co-captains Kori Cooper and Sydney Anderson, who were instrumental in helping the Huskers win 10 of their final 11 matches, including four wins over NCAA regional qualifiers.

Cooper, who overcame a torn ACL that ended her junior season, returned to the lineup and was a stabilizing force in the middle. After seeing limited duty in Nebraska’s first 10 contests, she ended up averaging a career-best 2.49 kills per set and led the Big 12 with a .372 hitting percentage on her way to earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Cooper was even better in league play, hitting .400 and chipping in 2.63 kills per set.

Cooper, who started on Nebraska’s NCAA title-winning

team in 2006 and provided inspiration for the Huskers’ NCAA Semifinal run two years later, received one lasting memory as she left the court one final time at the Qwest Center, as the crowd of nearly 10,000 saluted the senior with a standing ovation that brought her to tears.

“This is the best crowd in college volleyball for me, and I feel like I’m the luckiest senior in the country, regardless of how this season ended,” Cooper, a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American said. “I wouldn’t change a thing about playing for this crowd and about playing for this program.”

Anderson said that Cooper’s comeback inspired the whole team throughout the year.

“She’s been a great captain, great friend and leader,” Anderson said. “She brings fire and belief into those that don’t. If you look at what she’s gone through these four years - two torn ACLs, two surgeries - and she’s bounced back and she’s been amazing.”

While Cooper’s graduation leaves a significant void, Anderson’s poise and leadership down the stretch helped the Huskers unlock their potential.

The junior earned All-America honors for the second straight season, dishing out 11.53 assists per set in helping Nebraska feature an attack with five players averaging 2.25 kills per set. Anderson became only the eighth Husker setter to earn two All-America certificates, finishing with 14 double-doubles while averaging 2.45 digs and 0.77 kills on the year.

Anderson said she was proud of her teammates who fought through the early adversity. She also said the loss in the regional final was a starting point for 2010.

“This team is really excited. We all hate this feeling, so we don’t want to feel it again,” Anderson said. “Look at where we were in September and look at us now. We’ve gotten better, and we’re still going to get better. I am so proud of this team and how they maxed out this season.”Nebraska extended its NCAA record sellout streak to 135 matches in 2009. The sellout streak is the longest streak in women’s college

athletics covering any sport.

Bison/AVcA coaches Poll Weekly totals

AdVANcE tO SIxtH StRAIgHt REgIONAL FINALThe return of Anderson and fellow seniors-to-be Kayla

Banwarth, Lindsey Licht and Tara Mueller give the Huskers veteran leadership for the future.

Banwarth enjoyed a breakout season in 2009, ranking second in the Big 12 with 4.96 digs per set to earn honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors. She had four matches with at least 25 digs, including a career-high 32 against Minnesota in the Runza/AVCA Showcase. She finished 10 digs shy of Nebraska’s single-season record.

Licht was fully healthy after offseason surgeries on both feet and her right elbow, and became one of the Huskers’ most consistent players. Licht, who averaged 2.83 kills and 0.93 blocks on the year, keyed Nebraska’s second-half surge. The 6-foot-5 lefty hit .350 and averaged 3.32 kills per set over the Huskers’ final 14 matches and was a major factor in Nebraska going 12-2 down the stretch.

Mueller was a solid all-around performer who averaged 2.97 kills, 2.49 digs and 0.28 service aces per set as a starter at outside hitter. She became one of the Huskers’ primary passers, and her all-around game helped stabilize a lineup that featured a pair of first-year starters.

It didn’t take long to figure out that the 2009 ride would be far from smooth sailing. Nebraska dropped its season opener to Michigan in the AVCA Showcase, before rebounding the next night with a five-set win over Minnesota. NU won seven straight matches before UCLA snapped the Huskers’ 90-match home win streak three weeks later. Two weeks later, the Huskers stood at 2-2 in the league heading into a crucial road match at Oklahoma.

The Huskers found a spark in freshman Hannah Werth, who had five of her then-career high 17 kills in the decisive fifth set, as Nebraska fought off a hostile crowd and an emotional effort by the Sooners.

“All season, we’ve been talking about pulling together and doing what we know how to do,” Werth said. “Tonight, we finally did it.”

The OU match was Werth’s coming out party as she became one of Nebraska’s go-to performers. Werth eventually earned Big 12 Freshman-of-the-Year honors, averaging a team-high 3.18 kills and 3.07 digs per set. She topped the Huskers in kills 13 times and was second on the team with 13 double-doubles.

Another first-year starter who emerged was sophomore Brooke Delano. The middle blocker turned in a dominant campaign, averaging 2.34 kills and a team-best 1.09 blocks per set to earn second-team All-America honors. Delano ranked fifth in the Big 12 in both hitting percentage and blocks. She established a career high with 14 kills in the win over Oklahoma, helping NU begin a five-match win streak.

The Huskers faced some more adversity in late October, dropping a five-set match to Iowa State before a setback to Texas two weeks later dropped the Huskers to 16-6 heading into the final month of the season.

“Those matches were a great wake-up call for our players because they realized that the Big 12 was getting tougher,” Cook said. “Even though those matches hurt at the time, it may have been the best thing to happen to this team because they saw the mentality we needed to have to be successful.”

After the Texas match, Cook challenged his team to keep improving with the hope that the Huskers’ best volleyball was still to come. He told his team that this would be a “November to Remember.”

“The message being sent is there’s no backing off,” Cook said. “It’s about getting better and heading in hot going into the NCAA Tournament.”

The Huskers took the message to heart, opening the month with their best offensive performance of the season in a sweep of Missouri, before heading to Ames, Iowa, for a showdown with No. 9 Iowa State. The Huskers put together a masterful performance, hitting .327 against the league’s top defense to become the first team in 33 matches to hit .300 or better against the Cyclones. The Huskers showed their maturity in the finale, overcoming a 20-18 deficit in front of a sellout crowd of 10,203 at Hilton Coliseum to complete a 25-16, 25-22, 25-23 sweep.

“This was an opportunity for us to take a big step forward,” Cook said following the win, “and they certainly did that tonight.”

The Huskers continued to ride the momentum, finishing the regular season with five more sweeps to take a seven-match win streak into the postseason. It marked the first time Nebraska had ever swept through the month of November and gave the Big Red the confidence it needed heading into the postseason.

After opening the NCAA Tournament with a sweep of Coastal Carolina, the Huskers took on a Northern Iowa team that was riding a 29-match win streak. Nebraska’s outside hitters shined, as Werth finished with 13 kills while also setting career bests in hitting percentage (.476) and blocks (four) while Mueller added 12 kills in the win. Freshman Gina Mancuso also proved to be a difference-maker with three kills and two aces while running off several strings of points with her serve. With the win, the Huskers advanced to their 16th consecutive regional, where they saw a trio of familiar faces in Texas, Iowa State and Texas A&M.

Nebraska took the drama out of the regional semifinal, holding No. 5 Iowa State to a season-low .096 hitting in a 25-11, 25-19, 25-22 rout. Licht led a balanced attack with 10 kills, as four Huskers totaled at least nine kills in the sweep to set up a matchup with Texas for a spot in the NCAA semifinals.

“I thought (we) did one of the best jobs that I’ve ever seen of following a game plan,” Cook said after NU reached a regional final for the sixth straight year.

HISTORY

NU VOLLEYBALL: A CHAmpIONSHIp TRAdITION

by Mike BabcockA bulletin advertising an opening for the head

volleyball coach’s job at Nebraska had been discarded in a wastebasket in the coaches’ office at Louisburg College. Paul Sanderford, the first-year head coach of the women’s basketball team at the North Carolina junior college, retrieved the bulletin from the wastebasket and handed it to Terry Pettit, the school’s head volleyball coach.

Without that assist from Sanderford, Pettit, an aspiring English teacher with a background in creative writing and poetry as well as coaching, would not have known about the opening. If he had not known about the opening, he would not have applied. And if he had not applied and been hired, the history of Husker volleyball would have been altered dramatically, because he and Husker volleyball became one and the same.

Pettit was the Nebraska volleyball coach from 1977 to 1999 – all but two years of the program’s first 25 years of existence. Pat Sullivan, the Huskers’ first volleyball coach, compiled an 83-21 record in two seasons of competition sanctioned by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.

Before 1975, Nebraska didn’t sponsor women’s athletic teams. If women wanted to compete, they did so on loosely organized and unfunded club teams. It had been that way since the early 1900s, when a women’s basketball team occasionally competed against teams from outside the University.

Basketball was introduced in the university’s physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896, and as was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other.

Nebraska’s first All-University women’s team was organized in 1896 and included the best players regardless of class, according to the Nebraska State Journal. The team never lost, which should not be surprising, given how it was chosen and the quality of its intramural competition.

The first women’s basketball game played before an audience was part of the University’s sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke’s “Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,” published in Nebraska History in the spring of 1975.

Louise Pound seems to have been the driving force in women’s basketball at Nebraska, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was captain of the first team to play against an opponent from outside the University in March of 1898. Pound, who also was the first

All-University tennis champion, scored 11 points in a 15-7 victory against a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

In April of 1901, the university sponsored a women’s state tournament under Pound’s direction at Grant Memorial Hall. Nebraska was represented by an A team and a B team in a field that included teams from the Omaha YWCA, Lincoln High School and Wahoo High School. Nebraska’s A team won the two-day competition and a month later won a rematch with the Omaha YWCA in Omaha.

In November of 1901, Nebraska played a team from the University of Missouri at Grant Hall, “the first intercollegiate match for girls ever played in the west,” according to the Nebraska State Journal. Missouri was no match for its more experienced — and to that point undefeated — opponent, losing 31-4.

The Nebraska women did not suffer their first defeat until 1904, when they lost to a team from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis after opening an abbreviated schedule by shutting out a team from the Lincoln YWCA. The Nebraska women avenged the Minnesota loss two weeks later in Lincoln.

The Nebraska women played games against the University of Minnesota, home-and-home two weeks apart, again in March of 1908, losing both, the second after a five-minute overtime.

Before the Minnesota games, Nebraska had defeated Nebraska Wesleyan to finish what was to be its final season with a 1-2 record against outside competition. University women were not allowed to compete in basketball, as well as other sports, only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908.

In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the University board of regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. If not for the passing of Title IX by Congress in 1972, there probably would not be women’s intercollegiate athletics now.

Initially, “there wasn’t an embracing of women’s athletics,” Pettit said. “It’s like any civil rights movement almost. It’s tolerated, and you have to educate the public as to what it means. Today if you asked on a ballot if women should have the opportunity to compete in sports, there would be an overwhelming majority of people who would support it. But that wasn’t the case in the 1970s.

“One of the things that allowed Nebraska to be successful was that we jumped in with both feet,” Pettit said. “Nebraska decided: ‘Well, if we’re going to do this, let’s do it well.’ Whereas some schools were hesitant to get going, Nebraska was one of the first to offer scholarships. In any endeavor, if you’re among the first, that gives you a tremendous advantage, and you continue to reap the benefits years later.”

Under Pettit’s direction, volleyball became to Husker women’s athletics what football is to the Nebraska men’s program. Pettit’s teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament semifinals six times, and his 1995 team won the national championship, defeating Texas in the finals at Amherst, Mass.

The 1995 Huskers finished 32-1, with their only loss coming against Stanford in the second match of the season. Senior Allison Weston was the AVCA Co-Player of the Year and among three first-team All-Americans from Nebraska. The others were Christy Johnson and Lisa Reitsma.

Weston, a middle blocker, earned first-team All-America honors three times, the first Husker to do so. But Nebraska consistently has been represented on All-America teams since 1980, when Terri Kanouse became the Huskers’ first volleyball All-American, as selected by the AIAW.

Three Huskers have earned All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association in the same

Nebraska’s club volleyball program in the early 1970s set the foundation for the Huskers’ early successes.

The first Husker volleyball team, coached by Pat Sullivan (far right, second row), set the tone for future teams, compiling a 34-8 record and advancing to the AIAW regional finals in 1975.

HISTORY

season 15 times since 1984, most recently in 2008, when Jordan Larson, Sydney Anderson and Tara Mueller – captured All-America honors.

After the 1999 season, Pettit turned the program over to his long-time friend and former NU assistant coach, John Cook.

Cook arrived at Nebraska with impressive credentials after building the Wisconsin volleyball program into a national power, and he wasted no time making his mark at NU. In what was supposed to be a transition year, Cook led the Huskers to a perfect 34-0 record and the 2000 NCAA title.

The following season, Cook again guided the Huskers to the NCAA semifinals, where they lost to eventual national champion Stanford. After two regional finals and a regional semifinal, the Huskers returned to the national title match in 2005 and won the school’s third NCAA title in 2006, defeating Stanford, 3-1, in front of a then-NCAA record crowd of 17,209 at the Qwest Center.

In 10 years, Cook has guided Nebraska to a 307-26 record, a pair of national titles, five NCAA semifinal appearances and eight Big 12 championships. Nebraska is an amazing 188-12 against Big 12 teams in that stretch.

The tradition that Cook continues to build began in 1978, when Kanouse and Shandi Pettine were the first Nebraska volleyball players to be recruited with full scholarships. By 1981, Pettit could award 12 scholarships.

“We had a full complement,” he said. “And that put us ahead of some schools.”

Those first Nebraska teams included primarily in-state athletes. But Kanouse was from Indiana and Pettine was from Colorado, evidence not only of Pettit’s interest in expanding the Huskers’ recruiting base, but also of the respect his program was earning beyond the state’s borders.

Fiona Nepo, one of only 12 setters in NCAA history to earn All-America certificates three times came from Honolulu, Hawaii.

Karen Dahlgren, an All-American in 1985 and 1986, and Lynae Loseke, whose career was cut short by a knee injury, walked on, another element of the volleyball program’s consistent success shared by the football program.

“We don’t have 50 walk-ons, but if we can get one good one a year, it pays off,” Pettit said.

The 1981 and 1982 recruits, which included Cathy Noth (from Iowa) and Mary Buysse (from Minnesota), gave the Huskers “two really good classes in a row,” Pettit said. And, except for Dahlgren, who redshirted, they helped get Nebraska into the NCAA Tournament for the first time.

The Huskers had qualified for the AIAW National Tournament in 1978 at Tuscaloosa, Ala., but “there was no

excitement because nobody here got to see the matches,” Pettit said.

That changed in 1982, when Nebraska defeated a Penn State team coached by Russ Rose (Pettit’s assistant in 1978 and 1979) in the NCAA Tournament’s first round before a large and enthusiastic crowd at the NU Coliseum.

“That was a dramatic step for the program,” Pettit said. “It was the first time we really had an opportunity to market something. I don’t think anything changes the perception of an athletic program like hosting an NCAA event. From then on, we were always playing, always hosting.”

The Huskers have qualified for 28 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, which “may be our biggest achievement is the consistency. We’re always very competitive,” Pettit said.

Nebraska reached the NCAA finals for the first time in 1986, Dahlgren’s senior season, defeating Stanford in the semifinals but losing to Pacific on its home court in Stockton, Calif.

Three seasons later, the persistent Huskers were back in the NCAA title match, losing to Long Beach State (after defeating top-ranked UCLA) at Honolulu, Hawaii. Pettit realized then that his program had progressed to a point where winning the national championship was a realistic goal.

Several other factors contributed to the success of the Nebraska volleyball program, including the Coliseum, which was refurbished and reconfigured specifically as a volleyball facility in 1992.

The intimacy of the Coliseum is a significant factor in fan support, which has kept Nebraska among the nation’s leaders in attendance, annually ranking in the top three nationally, including second in 2009. Nebraska has sold out its last 135 straight matches at the 4,030-seat Coliseum, dating back to 2001.

In addition, the Huskers annually play a match at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska set an NCAA regular-season attendance record on Sept. 11, 2009, as a sellout crowd of 13,870 watched the Huskers take on UCLA.

Nebraska’s fans have consistently shattered volleyball attendance records. In 2008, Nebraska drew an NCAA record crowd of 17,430 for the NCAA semifinals at the Qwest Center. The four largest crowds at the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship have been set in Omaha.

While the Huskers have played in several venues across the state, the Coliseum is Nebraska’s home.

“I believe it is a major reason for interest. People like the building. They like watching events here,” Pettit said. “It’s an intimate facility. It’s a collegiate facility. You walk into the big fieldhouses, and you could be anywhere in the country.”

Fans also know what to expect from the Husker teams that play there.

“They know what type of effort they’re going to see,” Pettit said. “The fans are only 10 or 15 feet removed from the playing court, so they can tell whether or not there’s enthusiasm, whether or not people (the athletes) are communicating. That’s what they really come to see. It certainly helps that Nebraska wins. The winning gets you there the first time. But you can’t have a great enterprise, whether it be a business or an athletic team, unless you have an identity.

“People have that feeling about Nebraska volleyball. They know exactly what it is. They know what type of athlete is on the court. They know the style of play. They know the effort. They know the consistency. They know that she’s a good student. And they know that she’s a solid citizen when she goes on to her career after volleyball.”

The attraction wasn’t immediate. Though the program has been successful from the beginning, it experienced some lean times as far as interest and support.

“It’s been a slow, consistent growth,” Pettit said. “I think that fits Nebraskans. They aren’t real impressed with flash or something that just happens in the short term. What they want to see is progress over the long run. ‘Show me that you’ll continue to get the job done.’ If you do that, then they’ll ride with you even when things aren’t so good.”

Two-time All-American Christy Johnson led the Huskers to their first NCAA title in 1995.

The Huskers celebrate match point against Wisconsin to win the 2000 NCAA title. Nebraska went 34-0 to earn its second national title.

Terry Pettit, pictured with Kim Behrends, led NU to six NCAA semifinals and the 1995 national title.

A magical SeasonNebraska enjoyed a storybook season in 2006, putting

together a 33-1 record en route to the school’s third national title. Despite the loss of AVCA National Player of the Year Christina Houghtelling before the start of preseason practice and a lineup that featured three new starters, the Huskers won their first 23 matches, including 18 sweeps, before suffering their only loss of the year. The Huskers rebounded by losing just one game over the next seven matches before running into their toughest test of the postseason. One game away from the national semifinals in Omaha, the Huskers overcame a 2-0 deficit to topple Minnesota and win a regional for the first time outside the state in school history. That win set the stage for one of the biggest volleyball events in history, as the Huskers played for a chance at a national title in front of sold-out crowds of 17,000-plus at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

SemifinalsNebraska used a career night from Tracy Stalls to advance to the

finals with a 3-1 victory over fourth-ranked UCLA. Stalls totaled a career-high 17 kills on .577 hitting, out-shining UCLA All-American Nana Meriwether, who was held to 12 kills and a season-low .190 hitting. The Huskers dropped the opener and trailed 28-26 before a Pavan kill pulled NU within a point. Stalls then closed out the game with three straight points from the service line, tying the match at one. Nebraska took control of the third game behind the strong serving of Pavan, who ran off nine straight points at the service line including three aces that turned a 13-all game into a 23-13 cushion. Stalls had seven kills in each of the final two games. While Pavan finished with a match-high 22 kills, the Husker defense held UCLA in check behind 29 digs from Dani Busboom and 25 from Jordan Larson, as both enjoyed career bests in digs against the Bruins.

FinalThe Huskers followed a similar script as the semifinals, dropping

the opening game before regrouping. Trailing 24-23 in game two, the Huskers seized the momentum with three straight points, highlighted by a Dani Mancuso kill that gave NU a 25-24 lead. In game three, another unlikely hero emerged to spark a Husker comeback. Trailing 23-19, Amanda Gates came off the bench and sparked NU with two big blocks, the second of which put the Huskers up 29-28. In the finale, the Huskers rode the arm of Sarah Pavan, who had six of her match-high 22 kills, before Jordan

Larson’s 19th kill of the night closed out the match after the Cardinal pulled within 29-27. NU had four players total at least 10 kills, as Mancuso finished a dream season with 12 kills in her hometown.

Highlighting the 2006 Season• The Huskers led the country in both kills (17.40) and assists

(16.20) per game, the first time Nebraska had led the country in either category.

• Nebraska set school records for kills per game, assists per game and block assists (823).

• Nebraska became the third team in NCAA history to lead the AVCA poll the entire season, joining UCLA (1992) and USC (2003), and the first team to win a national title while hosting since UCLA in 1991.

• Sarah Pavan became the first Husker athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup - symbolic of the top female athlete in college athletics. Pavan also became the first Big 12 student-athlete to win the award since the league’s inception in 1996.

Quoting Coach John Cook“This team maxed out to their abilities. They really never

wavered the entire year, and they embraced it if they did. To win this here in Nebraska, with this group of people and overcoming the obstacles to get here and dealing with this pressure, it has to be No. 1. ”

mission AccomplishedNebraska entered the 2000 season with a No. 11 preseason

ranking and an eagerness to prove the pollsters wrong. Competing with a new coach, a new setter and without two-time All-American Nancy Metcalf (Meendering) didn’t scare the Huskers. A trio of sophomore All-Americans, including AVCA Player-of-the-Year Greichaly Cepero, emerged to lead NU to a 34-0 record and the program’s second national title. With a 3-2 win over Wisconsin Dec. 15 in the championship final, the Huskers became just the second team in NCAA history to finish a season undefeated. First-year Head Coach John Cook earned AVCA Coach-of-the-Year honors.

SemifinalsIn the first match, Nebraska relied on its greatest strength - its

block - to stifle Hawaii at the net in a 3-1 victory. The Huskers out-blocked the Rainbow Wahine 23-7.5, as Jenny Kropp and Amber Holmquist each tallied 10 block assists. With the win, the Huskers broke the school record for consecutive victories in the modern era of five-game matches. NU produced 36 victories in 1976 when all matches were played as two-out-of-three contests.

FinalAfter falling behind 2-1 to Wisconsin, Nebraska breezed to a

15-2 win in the fourth game to force a rally-scoring fifth game for the national title. With senior Kim Behrends at the service line, Laura Pilakowski slammed her 23rd kill of the match to secure the championship. Pilakowski was joined on the NCAA All-Tournament

team by classmates Greichaly Cepero and Amber Holmquist. Cepero added 52 assists, eight digs, eight kills and seven blocks, while Holmquist added 16 kills on a .387 hitting efficiency with five blocks.

Highlighting the 2000 Season• Nebraska claimed its 23rd Big Eight/Big 12 championship

in 25 seasons. With a 20-0 run through the league, the Huskers improved their all-time mark against Big 12 schools to 375-32-1, an amazing .920 winning percentage.

THIS IS NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL

There is No Place Like Nebraska . . . and there is no experience like Nebraska volleyball.

For more than three decades, Nebraska volleyball has set the standard of excellence in the sport. From sold-out Coliseum crowds and media exposure to academic and athletic success, the Husker program is at the forefront of the sport. Nebraska volleyball players are achievers, as the Husker program leads the nation in both All-Americans (67) and CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (36). Four players have been named national player of the year, while Sarah Pavan became the first Nebraska student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Cup in June of 2007, symbolizing the top female student-athlete in the country. If there is one image symbolic of the Nebraska volleyball program, it is the statue of “The Players,” which is at the main entrance of the NU Coliseum. AVCA Hall of Fame Coach Terry Pettit said it best when the statue was unveiled in 1992. “I believe that as you enter the Coliseum for the first time and look upon the three players - each intense, focused and committed to the task - it will occur to you, as it occurs to me, that something important happens here. Something beyond individual honors or accomplishments. Something more important than the individuals themselves. This statue says, ‘This is where women come to compete.’”

A Tradition of SuccessNebraska has earned 28 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and owns a

1,086-195-1 all-time record. The Huskers have won 30-or-more matches 20

times, including eight of the last 10 years under Coach John Cook.

Husker All-AmericansNebraska leads the nation in AVCA All-Americans, producing 32 student-

athletes who have combined for 67 All-America certificates. Nebraska is

second nationally with 37 first-team All-America awards. The Huskers had

two AVCA All-Americans in 2009, including second-team selection Brooke

Delano and third-team honoree Sydney Anderson. Nebraska has had

at least one All-American every season since 1983, a total of 28 straight

seasons, including 32 in Coach John Cook’s 10 seasons.

OlympiansThe Husker volleyball team has produced three U.S. Olympians: Lori

Endicott (1992 and 1996); Allison Weston (2000) and Nancy Metcalf (2004).

Poll LeadersNebraska is one of only two programs nationally to be ranked in all 400

The volleyball team has called the Coliseum home since the program’s inception in 1975, and the building was redesigned specifically for volleyball in 1992. Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s attendance leaders for the last two decades and has sold out 135 consecutive matches dating back to the 2001 season.

The Coliseum features many amenities for the volleyball program, including medical facilities as well as a players lounge with study area and a team locker room.

Six former Husker volleyball players have received the highest honor the Nebraska program can bestow, a retired jersey at the Nebraska Coliseum.

Karen Dahlgren, Lori Endicott, Cathy Noth and Allison Weston received a permanent place in the NU Coliseum during the 2003 season, as a Wall of Honor was created to highlight the accomplishments of the program’s most outstanding student-athletes.

Since then, there have been two additions to the wall. In 2004, Janet Kruse was honored for her academic and athletic achievements at Nebraska with her jersey retirement.

Stephanie Thater became the most recent honoree, as the three-time All-American returned to campus to become the sixth jersey retired in school history in August of 2008.

Husker PowerBUILDING THE ALL-AROUND VOLLEYBALL PLAYERThe University of Nebraska volleyball strength and conditioning coach is dedicated to making each student-athlete the best all-around volleyball player they can become. The goal of the strength coach is to help the volleyball player reach her full potential on the court. With the year-round lifting and conditioning program, we strive to reduce injuries and at the same time increase performance.

STRENGTH STAFFLaura (Pilakowski) Buttermore is in her seventh year as head strength coach for the volleyball program. A former All-American volleyball player, Buttermore understands how to develop a strength and conditioning program for elite volleyball players.

The strength and conditioning program’s goal is to produce strength, speed, power, and discipline. Making sure the student-athletes are strong, healthy, and competitive is the number one priority. Another goal is to build team dynamics, leadership and mental toughness through different conditioning drills.

TRAINING FOR VOLLEYBALL Weight Training The weight lifting program consists of both strength and explosive exercises that focus on ground-based and multi-joint movements.

Off-season lifting consists of four days a week of lifting with two days of explosive training and two days of strength training. In-season lifting is two days a week focusing on total body movements.

Plyometric and Agility TrainingIt is important to condition like a volleyball player. Volleyball is a game that requires agility and explosiveness on a consistent basis. It is important to follow this pattern when performing conditioning drills, as plyometric exercises are specialized, high-intensity training techniques used to develop athletic power.

ConditioningVolleyball is a quick paced game of short bursts requiring you to change directions both laterally and vertically. You also need to develop volleyball endurance when going five sets.

The conditioning consists of plyometric, agility, speed and endurance training. Plyometric training is used to increase verticals and also to work on landings to reduce injuries. As a volleyball player you also need to be able to change direction quickly and get to top speed as quickly as possible.

FlexibilityFlexibility is another important component to the overall volleyball program. It is worked on throughout the year during conditioning sessions and practice. Yoga is also used during the season to increase performance and reduce injury.

The Injured Athlete We have constant communication with the Athletic Medicine Staff in order to plan a successful training program to get the athlete promptly and safely back to competition.

Head volleyball strength coach Laura Buttermore was a two-time All-American at Nebraska and shared Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors in 2002.

ACADEMICSUCCESS

The success of Nebraska student-athletes reaches far beyond athletic competition. More Husker student-athletes have been selected to CoSIDA Academic All-America teams than any other school in the nation, as Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions. The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 98 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The NU volleyball progam has captured more academic All-America awards (37) than any other women’s team in the nation, while the Husker softball program ranks second on that list with 27 selections. In addition to individual academic recognition, NU has led the Big 12 in graduation rates in 10 of the conference’s first 14 years.

Huskers Expand Academic Tradition in 2009-10Husker student-athletes produced another stellar year at the University of Nebraska, continuing NU’s tradition of academic success. Nebraska increased its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports to 277 with a Big 12-leading eight honorees in 2009-10, while also setting conference records with 178 academic All-Big 12 selections and 687 selections to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll during the year.

Nebraska Female Student-Athlete of the Year Kelsey Griffin, the first Husker in history to win the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in any sport, capped a stellar career by earning a $7,500 Dr. Prentice Gautt Big 12 Postgraduate Scholarship. A unanimous first-team All-American and the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, Griffin powered the Nebraska women’s basketball team to the Big 12 regular-season title, which included the only unbeaten regular season in conference history at 29-0. Craig Brester claimed NU’s Male Student-Athlete-of-the-Year honor, while joining Griffin as a recipient of a Big 12 Postgraduate Scholarship. Brester, a three-time wrestling All-American, closed his career with a 109-21 record , including two NCAA runner-up finishes.

Husker volleyball star Kori Cooper, a two-time honorable-mention All-American on the court, became NU’s 60th two-time academic All-American by earning first-team honors in 2009. Joining Cooper as a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2009-10 was Nebraska baseball centerfielder D.J. Belfonte and Nicholas Gordon, the 2009 NCAA indoor long jump champion and three-time All-American.

Across all sports, Nebraska student-athletes claimed a Big 12-leading 178 academic All-Big 12 selections, including an astounding 152 first-team academic All-Big 12 honorees. The Huskers had 24 more first-team selections than any other Big 12 school had selected to both the first and second teams. Over the past two years, Nebraska has claimed 350 academic All-Big 12 certificates across all sports, while no other Big 12 school has accumulated 250 honors. NU student-athletes also earned a record-setting 687 spots on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall and Spring Academic Honor Rolls.

From the day student-athletes decide the University of Nebraska is the right place to be, the athletic academic counseling unit provides personal and academic support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as Huskers.

Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70 tutors addressing all subject areas.

Academic CounselingEight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system.

Tutorial SupportA tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program, provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the transition to college academics while improving study strategies and building academic self-esteem.

Study HallThere are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska. Student-athletes either attend a structured study hall, typically two hours in length held four days a week, or have flex time where they study a specific number of hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff.

MentoringMany student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies.

Columns in the Hewit and Boekel Academic Center display the names of every Husker student-athlete who has lettered in a varsity sport and graduated from the University of Nebraska.
