n The Broncos return nine players from the 2009 roster, including three seniors, three juniors and three sophomores.

n Last season, Boise State earned its highest finish in WAC history under first year head coach Shawn Garus, placing third at the WAC Tournament. The Broncos advanced to the semifinal round, the furthest into the tournament they’ve ever advanced.

n The Broncos hope to improve on their 8-22 record from 2009, feeding off their second-half of the season where they went 8-11. Their 7-9 conference record was the most conference wins by the Broncos since 1998 when they finished 11-5 in the Big West.

n Seniors Sadie Maughan, Alisha Young and Lauren Hamm are three who have made their marks in the Boise State record books and are looking to rise on the school’s top-10 lists.

n The Broncos return their team leaders in all of the major stat categories with Young (291 kills), Maughan (.244 hitting percentage, 111 blocks), Hamm (21 aces) and Amanda Remy (306 digs).

n Liz Harden is returning after earning the first WAC All-Freshman Team honor in school his-tory in 2009. Maughan, Young and Breann Nesselhuf earned second team all-WAC honors a year ago.

n The Broncos added two transfers and three freshmen who have signed National Letters of Intent, as well as the possibility of the addition of a pair of walk-ons.

nBoise State head coach Shawn Garus enters his second season at the helm of the Boise State program.

n Garus produced an 8-22 (7-9 WAC) record in his first season as head coach at Boise State.

n Garus holds a 123-142 career head coaching record after his first season at Boise State good for a .464 average over nine years.

nGarus had his best first-season record with a team as head coach last year at Boise State, producing a .267 average with his 8-22 record.

n Garus coached Sadie Maughan, Alisha Young and Breann Nesselhuf to second team all-WAC honors, the most Broncos ever placed on an all-WAC team in one season.

nGarus coached Liz Harden to the first WAC All-Freshman Team honoree in school history.

n Garus’ four all-WAC honorees (Maughan, Young, Nesselhuf, Harden) are the most on an all-conference team for Boise State since 1990 when there were four named to the Big Sky all-conference team (two second team and two honorable mention).

nGarus’ three second team honorees are the most Broncos on an all-conference first or second team in one season since 1988 when the Broncos first entered the Big Sky (two first team and one second team).

n Head coach Matt Sonnichsen finished second in the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers Associa-tion’s Coach of the Year voting.

n Last year, Jones led the WAC in solo blocks with 32. In addition, her 131 total blocks tied her for second in Tech’s single-season record books.

n Libero Lori Hunsucker ranked third in the WAC last season in total digs with 447, good for fifth all-time in the Tech single-season record books.

nMatt Sonnichsen enters his third season as Louisiana Tech’s head coach.

nLast season, he led the Techsters to a 15-18 overall record and a 4-12 mark in WAC play. The 15 wins were the most since 2005 and the four WAC wins equaled the program’s conference win total in the previous five seasons combined.

n Prior to Newberry College, he was an assistant at Grinnell College, where he coached the 2006 season under his father, Tom.

n Sonnichsen’s longest tenure as head coach came during his eight seasons at Tulsa, where his 2000 team had its first winning season in more than 20 years. He finished with 20 or more wins three times during his stay, and his 2004 team finished in second place in the WAC Eastern Division.

n In the winter of 2006, Sonnichsen was the first coach from the USA to coach a team in the Puerto Rican Women’s Professional Volleyball League.

n Sonnichsen earned a bachelor of science degree in economics from UCLA in 1994. While there, he was a member of two national champion teams, playing from 1986-89. He was a three-time All-American and was an NCAA all-tournament selection from 1987-89.

n As a professional volleyball player, he played for the USA National Team from 1990-91, playing in the Goodwill Sets in Seattle, Wash.

n Sonnichsen also played in the Swiss Professional League with two different clubs, LUC Lausanne and MTV Nafels.

nMike Jordan earned WAC Coach of the Year honors in 2005, 2006 and 2008. He also earned two conference Coach of the Year awards with the Sun Belt Conference (2003 and 2004).

nJordan is the only Aggie head coach to coach AVCA All-Americans, with six different players earning the honor.

nHe is the only NM State volleyball coach to lead his team to the NCAA Tournament, which he has done five times (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008). The Aggies won their first ever NCAA Tournament match on Dec. 5, 2008, over Saint Mary’s.

nNM State has had 19 first team all-WAC selections, six second team selections, two all-freshman team selections and a WAC Freshman of the Year. He also has had 16 all-tournament team selections since the Aggies began playing in the WAC in 2005.

nJordan has the most wins of any Aggie head coach with 267. Just 33 wins shy of 300, he picked up win No. 200 when the Aggies defeated Houston 3-1 in Houston, Texas on Sept. 2, 2007.

nHe is the only Aggie volleyball coach to lead his team to a conference title as he has won or shared titles in both the Sun Belt Conference (2001-04) and the WAC (2008). NM State is the first team to either share or hold the WAC title since BYU and Hawai‘i shared the Pacific Division title in 1998.

nJordan guided the Aggies to their first-ever win over nationally-ranked Hawai‘i on Oct. 2, 2007, which snapped the Rainbow Wa-hine’s 114-match conference win streak.

n Utah State returns six starters, plus its libero, from last year’s team that went 15-14 on the season and finished in seventh place in the WAC with a 6-10 league record.

n Among those returning for USU is Liz McArthur, who earned second team all-WAC honors in 2009. USU has four other returnees who have received all-WAC accolades as Chelsea Fowles, Katie Astle and Christine Morrill were all named second team all-WAC in 2008, and Emily Korsten was named to the league’s all-freshman team in 2008.

n Utah State ranked third in the WAC in hitting percentage (.204) and service aces (1.24), fourth in assists (11.21), kills (12.18) and blocks (2.37), and eighth in digs (13.30).

n Morrill led the WAC with 4.62 digs per set, while Fowles ranked third in assists (9.77) and service aces (0.32). McArthur ranked fourth in points (4.29) and kills (3.80), and 10th in service aces (0.24). Astle was fourth in hitting (.315), while Durrant ranked sixth in hitting (.305) and ninth in blocks (1.07).

n Utah State had nine players earn academic all-WAC honors in 2009.

n Morrill recorded 531 digs as a junior, which ranks second all-time at Utah State for a single season. She has 1,273 digs in her career to rank second all-time in school history. She is second among active players in the WAC and 77 digs shy of entering the WAC top 10.

n Fowles has recorded 3,281 assists during her Utah State career to rank third all-time in school history. She also ranks ninth all-time at USU in service aces with 82.

n Durrant was one of just three WAC volleyball players during the 2009 season to earn CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honors as she was named to the second team.
