ORUGoldenEagles.com4

The 2013 volleyball season has arrived, and with it comes a sense of anticipation for the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles. The program’s career leader in victories, Head Coach Sheera Sirola returns a talented and experienced group of veterans that is eager to taste postseason glory after falling in conference tournament championship matches in 2011 and 2012. Two-time conference defensive player of the year Bruna Silva and all-conference setter Laura Taylor lead a group of eight returning letterwinners, while six newcomers look to push the Golden Eagles over the top and blaze the way to the 2013 Southland Conference championship.

OUTSIDE HITTERWho’s Back? The Golden Eagles return only one outside hitter from the 2012 season, making the position by far the youngest on the 2013 roster. Still, the lone returner, sophomore Kylie Johnson, was a vital piece of ORU’s success last year. The Union High product played in 111 sets as a rookie and was quickly entrenched as the most versatile player on the roster. Johnson averaged 0.70 kills and 2.40 digs last year, including 32 digs over ORU’s run through the Southland Conference Tournament. Having already established herself as a defensive presence, Johnson looks to shoulder more of the offensive load in 2013.Who’s New? The jewel of ORU’s incoming class is Jenks native Sara Pope, who spent her first two collegiate seasons at the University of Albany. Pope was a role player in her freshman season, as the Great Danes qualified for the NCAA Tournament, but she exploded as a sophomore, averaging 3.38 kills per set and winning America East Player of the Year honors. Croatian freshman Nika Mostahinic and Edmond product McKenna Qualls, also a rookie, will look to bolster an ORU attack that lost three of their four

200-kill producers from last season. Qualls led Edmond Memorial HS to a pair of OSSAA Class 6A State Championships and was an OCA All-State selection as a senior.

RIGHT SIDEWho’s Back? Redshirt senior Luara Rosa recovered from a knee injury and posted career numbers as a junior in 2012. Rosa racked up 126 kills and 170 digs in 92 sets last year, and she is the only returner to have led ORU in both kills and digs in a match. Sophomore Sadie Schaffner didn’t play in eight of ORU’s first 16 matches during her rookie season but was one of the team’s top offensive threats by the end of the year. Schaffner averaged 2.04 kills per set as a rookie and chipped in 56 blocks.

MIDDLE HITTER/BLOCKERWho’s Back? One of the most improved players on the ORU roster last season, senior Jessica Pancratz led the Southland Conference with 1.36 blocks per set in 2012. Pancratz also demonstrated a vastly-improved offensive arsenal last season, finishing third on the ORU club with 224 kills. After upping her numbers in three consecutive seasons, Pancratz is a Preseason 1st Team All-Southland Conference selection heading into her final year. Sophomore Jovana Poljasevic battled injuries and a crowded roster in her first collegiate season, but the Bosnia & Herzegovina native is back for her second campaign and ready to break into the lineup. Poljasevic played just five sets last year but is at full strength to start 2013.Milestone Watch Pancratz enters the season with 248 total blocks for her career and is just 13

ORU EXPERIENCE | COACHES | 2013 SQUAD | OPPONENTS | 2012 REVIEW | HISTORY

5

blocks away from joining the program’s career top-10 list in the category. With a repeat performance of last season, Pancratz would become just the fourth ORU player in history to notch 400 career blocks, and her 0.95 blocks per game average is already 6th on ORU’s career list.Who’s New? Sophomore Caroline Arnould attended ORU as a student in 2012-13 before joining the volleyball program prior to the 2013 season. Arnould attended high school across the street from the ORU campus, at Victory Christian School, and she was an OCA All-State honoree in 2011.

SETTERWho’s Back? Laura Taylor has been the backbone of the ORU squad for three seasons now, and she returns for her fourth and final year in 2013. Taylor was ORU’s primary setter in all 120 sets last season and ranked 5th in the Southland Conference with 11.89 assists per game. The Broken Arrow native isn’t just a table-setter, however, as she averaged 1.11 kills per set as a junior. Taylor increased her offensive output in conference play, when she ranked 6th in the SLC with a .303 hitting percentage, and she collected her second career double-double against Sam Houston State on October 25. Taylor also ranked 2nd on the ORU team in service aces, third in digs and 4th in total blocks last year. If Taylor is unavailable to set, the Golden Eagles can turn to senior Sthephanie Mab, who is listed as a setter and saw action at the position in 2011. Johnson, meanwhile, was an all-region selection while serving as a setter in high school.Milestone Watch Taylor’s name already dots the Oral Roberts program record books, and she enters 2013 with a great chance to solidify her place as one of the school’s all-time legends at the position. Taylor enters the year with 2,903 career sets, 4th-best in school history, and she needs 1,039 more helpers to leave South Tulsa as ORU’s career leader. She could also break into ORU’s career top-10 in hitting percentage with another year of efficient attacking.

Who’s New? Freshman Lauren Winslow is the lone newcomer at the setter position and has the potential to follow Taylor as the next Golden Eagle star at the position. Winslow was the MVP of the OCA All-State volleyball match in 2013 after prepping at Christian Heritage Academy.

DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST/LIBEROWho’s Back? Bruna Silva wore the libero’s jersey in all 239 of ORU’s sets since the start of the 2011 season, and she is expected to keep the streak going in 2013. Silva earned Summit League Defensive Player of the Year laurels as a sophomore in 2011, when she led the conference and ranked 13th in NCAA Division I with 5.66 digs per set. The transition to the Southland Conference in 2012 was a seamless one for the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil native, as she earned SLC Libero of the Year honors after pacing the league with 5.22 digs per set. This season should be no different for Silva, who has a golden opportunity to join 1999 alumnus Juliana Moser as the only players in school history to capture three conference player of the year trophies. But Silva isn’t alone in ORU’s back line effort. Mab has struggled with injuries in each of the last two seasons, but the Rio native has averaged 1.78 digs per set when she’s in the lineup. Now healthy, the senior’s final season at ORU promises to be a fruitful one. Johnson, meanwhile, also enters the season with proven defensive credentials and could step into the libero role if called upon.Milestone Watch Silva enters the season ranked 2nd in school history with 1,629 digs, and she needs 617 to catch two-time Mid-Con Player of the Year Becky Dreher for ORU’s career lead. Dreher averaged 5.22 digs per set during her collegiate career, a number that Silva, at 4.89, is also chasing down.Who’s New? Broken Arrow native Sofia Redden was a four-time Homeschool All-American while playing for NOAH, and she will spend her first collegiate season learning under a two-time conference player of the year in Silva.

COACHING STAFFWho’s Back? Oral Roberts returns the top two members of their coaching staff for the 11th consecutive season, as Head Coach Sheera Sirola and Assistant Coach Jani Hagen are back to man the Golden Eagle bench. Sirola, ORU’s program leader in career victories, has ORU poised to vault into the Southland Conference’s top spot, which would earn the team’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2006. ORU has posted back-to-back seasons of 17+ wins under the Croatian’s watch, including a 20-win campaign in 2011, and they have qualified for consecutive conference tournament finals. Sirola’s teammate on ORU’s 1995 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight team, Hagan has served as Sirola’s top assistant for each of her first 10 seasons as ORU’s Head Coach. She’s back for year 11, looking for another trip to the NCAA Tournament. Milestone Watch Sirola has a significant personal milestone on the radar in 2013, as her 13th victory of the upcoming season will give her 200 victories for her head coaching career.^^^ With another banner year, Laura Taylor could end her senior

season as ORU’s program leader in assists, and she’s in range of the school’s career top-10 in hitting percentage.

ORU MEDIA RELATIONS DEPARTMENT DIRECTORY

BLAKEFREELANDAssistant AD • Media Relations | 3rd Season

Hired as the Assistant A.D. for Media Relations in July of 2011, Blake Freeland joined the Oral Roberts staff from Charleston Southern University, where he served in a number of capacities in the sports information office over the span of seven years.

During his career of more than 10 years, Freeland had aided in the publicity of a national champion, numerous AP All-American selections including 2012 men’s basketball selection, Dominique Morrison. He has covered the ORU women’s basketball team at the NCAA Tournament, the ORU men’s basketball team at a pair of postseason tournaments, and the CSU football team as they took on the defending national champion Florida Gators.

Immediately after moving to ORU, Freeland went to work improving all facets of the Media Relations operations. In his first two years, he increased the size and content of the five existing media guides, including men’s and women’s basketball and baseball, and the department is producing publications for men’s golf, women’s golf and cross country guides for the first time.

Additionally, Freeland has overseen an increase in the number of live events streamed through ELIve, upgrading the quality as well with the use of play-by-play and graphics for baseball.

At CSU, Freeland was the main contact for the football, cross country, and track & field programs, while overseeing the coverage of all 16 Division I teams. He hosted the Big South Women’s Soccer Championship three times and the Big South Track & Field Championship once.

Prior to CSU, Freeland spent two years in the media relations office at his alma mater, Oklahoma State, where he was a contact for tennis and cross country, and helped out with football, basketball and baseball, among others. While at OSU, Freeland had the opportunity to work the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament in Oklahoma City, and worked a number of Big 12 Conference Championships.

Married July 2007 to the former Katie Davis, he is a member of CoSIDA. The couple has one son, Beckett, born April 2011.

ROBWALDENAssistant Director of Media Relations | 3rd Season

Rob Walden is in his third season as the Assistant Director of Media Relations at Oral Roberts University. In his position, Walden oversees the publicity efforts for the Golden Eagle volleyball, women’s basketball and tennis programs. He also serves as a secondary play-by-play announcer for ORU women’s basketball games, including the team’s 2013 NCAA Tournament run.

At ORU, Walden has dramatically increased the size and quality of the school’s women’s basketball and volleyball media guides by reformatting both publications, adding historical pictures and content and more than doubling the amount of information on the current group of Golden Eagles. He has also been instrumental in Media Relations Department’s newfound commitment to video content, hosting, producing and editing video highlights and interview packages for ORUGoldenEagles.com

Walden came to ORU from the University of West Florida, in Pensacola. While at UWF, Walden was instrumental in boosting the school’s audio and video broadcast efforts. Walden oversaw the launch of UWF’s athletic video

broadcast package, leading the online streaming of more than 70 UWF sporting events during the 2010-11 season. He also was the play-by-play broadcaster for more than 100 athletic broadcasts, including the Argo baseball team’s run to the NCAA Division II National Championship.

A native of Woodruff, S.C., Walden graduated from Newberry College in May 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. In 2011, Walden obtained an M.S. in Sports Management from the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Ala.

As a Sports Information Intern at Charleston Southern University in 2009-10, Walden served as the primary media relations contact for the Buccaneers’ baseball and golf teams. In addition to his sports information duties, he also took over as the play-by-play voice for all CSU men’s basketball radio broadcasts. Prior to his year at Charleston Southern, Walden spent one year at Brevard College, leading the department’s media relations efforts.

Walden and his wife Krystle reside in Tulsa.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of fi ve institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fi ve decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s fi rst entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS

news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and fi eld Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning fi lmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Giff ord (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and fi eld. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and fi eld, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualifi cation to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and

women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its fi rst fi ve years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in fi rst-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2012. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins. In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa

Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoff pauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award. The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the fi rst time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the fi rst round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the fi rst round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight fi rst-round picks in its history.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the fi rst Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and fi eld has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and fi eld national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and fi eld medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to fi nd national success in both indoor and outdoor track and fi eld. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 diff erent All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplifi ed by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who fi nished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in

the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven fi nishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past fi ve seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with fi ve in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt fi nished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifi nals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament fi ve times in the last seven years. The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfi elder Kylie Louw became the fi rst player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered fi rst-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the fi rst time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span. The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of

the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year. While successful on the fi elds and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the fi rst Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and fi eld has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and fi eld national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and fi eld medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to fi nd national success in both indoor and outdoor track and fi eld. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 diff erent All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplifi ed by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who fi nished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in

the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven fi nishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past fi ve seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with fi ve in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt fi nished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifi nals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament fi ve times in the last seven years.

SHEERASIROLAHead Coach | 11th Season | Oral Roberts ‘98

Success isn’t a new idea for Oral Roberts University volleyball head coach Sheera Sirola. After putting together one of the most decorated playing careers in the history of the Golden Eagle program, Sirola enters her 11th season at the helm of her alma mater poised to lead ORU to its second NCAA Tournament in her tenure. With a veteran roster and the momentum of 2012’s late-season surge still alive, the future of ORU Volleyball is as bright as ever under Sirola.

Having been a part of the Golden Eagle program for nearly two decades, Sirola has played an integral role through the volleyball team’s banner years. ORU has amassed a stellar 410-201 (.671) record during her 19 years as a player and a coach. Sirola helped lead ORU to eight straight NCAA Tournaments from 1995-2002, and her record as Head Coach stands at 187-126 (.597).

Sirola battled a slew of adversity in 2012, coaching ORU to a 17-15 record, and she led the Golden Eagles to the finals of the Southland Conference Tournament in their first season as league members. A brutal early-season schedule and a rash of injuries left the Golden Eagles with an 8-12 record on October 13. But Sirola rallied her troops yet again, as ORU went 9-2 over their next 11 matches. Included in that stretch were upset victories over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Sam Houston State in the SLC Tournament, making ORU the first No. 6 seed in league history to reach the title match. The Golden Eagles fell to host school and top seed Central Arkansas in the finals, but already Sirola had left her mark on the new league.

Individual awards, a hallmark of the Sirola Era, came rolling in at the completion of the season. Junior Bruna Silva led the SLC with 627 digs, the fifth-highest single-season mark in ORU history, and she was named SLC Libero of the Year just one season after taking home the Summit League’s top defensive award. Sheina Fernandes and Laura Taylor joined Silva on the All-Southland Conference team.

Sirola has long been known for recruiting complete student-athletes to ORU, and that manifested itself in 2012 as Sheina Fernandes was honored as ORU’s first-ever Capital One Academic All-American in the sport of volleyball. In addition to leading the Golden Eagles with 321 kills in her senior season, Fernandes posted a perfect 4.0 GPA in international business.

Though the Golden Eagles are no longer part of the Summit League, Sirola’s name is unlikely to fade away from the conference’s record books anytime soon. Sirola ended the 2011 season as the Summit League’s career leader in overall head coaching victories (170) and conference victories (99).

Since Sirola took over as head coach in 2003, the Golden Eagles have collected conference accolades on a regular basis. In the last 10 seasons, 22 of Sirola’s players have received All-Conference recognition, including 11 first-team honorees. In 2004, Becky Dreher, a two-time First-Team All-Mid-Con selection, was named the League’s Defensive Player of the Year, while Ori Zuzic earned the Mid-Con Player of the Year honor back-to-back in 2005 and 2006. Also in 2006, Thais Parada was named Setter of the Year, while Cris Alves garnered the Defensive Player of the Year award. Silva added to ORU’s Player of the Year trophy case in 2011 with her Defensive Player of the Year award, and she followed it with SLC Libero of the Year laurels in 2012.

Sirola saw ORU through its time of Summit League (formerly Mid-Continent Conference) dominance, having been a part of every coaching staff since the Golden Eagles joined the league prior to the 1997 season. During those 15 years, the volleyball team compiled a mark of 167-45 (.788) in conference matches and posted at least 10 Summit League victories in 13 of the 15 seasons after the league expanded to a 12-game schedule in 1998.

The Golden Eagles also proved their superiority in the Summit League Tournament, as they held a 19-5 (.792) mark that included a string of 12 consecutive victories from 1997 to 2002.

The 2011 season marked a return to dominance for Sirola’s Golden Eagle program. ORU posted 20 wins on the season, including 12 Summit League victories, and they advanced to the finals of the Summit League Tournament for the first time since 2008. Sirola led ORU on a mid-season stretch where they garnered wins in 19 out of 20 matches. The Golden Eagles also took mid-season tournament titles at both Kennesaw State and McNeese State.

Individually, Sirola coached Silva to one of the finest seasons in program history. Just a sophomore, the Brazilian superstar amassed 673 digs, third-most in school history, and she became ORU’s first Summit League Defensive Player of the Year since 2006.

In 2008, Sirola produced her fourth 20-win season with a 22-9 overall record and a 13-3 Summit League mark en route to a second-place showing. The Golden Eagles advanced to the finals of the conference tournament before falling to North Dakota State, who posted an undefeated 16-0 mark in league play. Danjiela Novakovic and JoJo Souza earned 1st Team All-Summit League honors while Janete Ferreira and Juliane Vieira were named to the 2nd Team. Vieira was also named the League’s Setter of the Year.

The 2007 season saw two Mid-Con All-Conference selections return in Thais Parada and Jackie Oliveira as well as four non-starters from the 2006 regular-season and conference tournament championship team. Sirola picked up career win No. 100 in a five-game victory against North Dakota State.

In 2006, the Golden Eagles were able to push through and win their first Mid-Con title since 2002, a first since the arrival of Sirola. In her fourth season at the helm, Sirola posted her highest win total (26) and winning percentage (.743) ever as head coach. She led her squad to its best conference record since the 2002 season and its third 20-win season in the last four years. Sirola led her 2006 squad to the national tournament for the first time since 2002 and was named Mid-Con Coach of the Year.

During her years as an ORU assistant coach (1996-2002), Sirola helped produce 23 all-conference performers. She tutored three Mid-Con Player of the Year winners, including Juliana Moser, the only player in conference history to receive the honor three times.

Despite spending just two years in a Golden Eagle uniform (1994-95), Sirola put her own personal mark on the program by establishing several season and career records that still stand today. Known for her killer jump serve, Sirola set the school’s single-season record with 99 service aces in 1994, and she led the entire NCAA with 98 aces during the 1995 season. Her career total of 197 service aces still ranks 2nd on ORU’s career charts. Sirola also ranks among ORU’s career top five in kills per game (3rd), hitting percentage (3rd), and digs per game (4th).

Sirola also found success on the soccer field while at ORU, playing four games as a defender and goalkeeper in 1995. Sirola stayed at ORU and completed her undergraduate degree in physical education in May of 1998. She then became the first volleyball player to be inducted into the ORU Athletics Hall of Fame in February of 2003.

Jani Hagen joined the ORU staff prior to the 2003 season after spending two successful years as the head volleyball coach at Jenks High School. Hagen was named an assistant when Sheera Sirola took the helm at ORU, and the two have led the Golden Eagles to a 187-126 (.597) record over the past 10 seasons, averaging more than 18 wins per year. Hagen helped lead the Golden Eagles to a Mid-Continent Conference championship in 2006 and a 20-win season in 2011.

In 2012, Hagen was on staff as the Golden Eagles went 17-15 and advanced to the Championship Game of the Southland Conference Tournament. With Hagen as a vital member of the ORU program, the Golden Eagles won 13 games against Southland Conference opponents in their first season as league members.

Three Golden Eagles earned All-Southland Conference awards at the conclusion of the season, including hometown product Laura Taylor and fellow Brazilians Bruna Silva and Sheina Fernandes.

Hagen’s presence has added a Brazilian flavor to the Golden Eagle coaching staff, and her recruiting prowess has helped bring several Brazilians to the ORU program. In addition to Silva, current standouts Sthephanie Mab and Luara Rosa each hail from Brazil, as does 2006 Mid-Con Setter of the Year (and former Graduate Assistant Coach) Thais Parada.

Hagen has helped mentor 22 all-conference selections during her tenure as Sirola’s top assistant coach. Under Hagen’s tutelage, the Golden Eagles have produced eight conference players of the year, including a clean sweep of all three of Mid-Continent Conference’s yearly awards in 2006. The Golden Eagles captured their first conference title since 2002 that season, and Ori Zuzic (Offensive), Cris Alves (Defensive) and Parada (Setter) each won Player of the Year laurels from the Mid-Con.

Most recently, Hagen helped mold Silva into the 2011 Summit League Defensive Player of the Year, and the Rio de Janeiro native followed that up with a Southland Conference Libero of the Year trophy in 2012.

Hagen is no stranger to the Golden Eagle program, having spent her collegiate career helping the program reach unprecedented heights. The former Jani Contador played at ORU from 1995-98, teaming with

current head coach Sheera Sirola to help take the Golden Eagles to the Elite Eight of the 1995 NCAA Tournament.

During the 2002 season, Hagen led her Jenks High squad to a 37-17 record and the No. 7 spot in Oklahoma’s Class 5A rankings.

While she enjoyed her time at Jenks, Hagen’s dream was always to return to her alma mater and continue the grand tradition of ORU volleyball. One of Hagen’s main duties at ORU is to aid with the overseas recruiting, especially in her native Brazil, and she is a key component in every aspect of the Golden Eagle program.

Originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Hagen married former ORU golfer Paul Hagen (1997-98) on September 16, 2000. She graduated from ORU in 1999 with a degree in recreation administration.

To say Mike Carter had his work cut out for him when he accepted the director of athletics position at Oral Roberts University on Nov. 7, 1994, is quite an understatement. It was hard enough for Carter to leave a successful business and sports law practice to embark on a career change. Combined with the fact ORU was just beginning its second year back to active NCAA Division I status with only three full-time support personnel and no conference affiliation, and his endeavor was even more challenging.

However, nearly 20 years later, it’s clear that Carter’s guidance - along with a strong commitment to athletics by the University - has led the department to dramatic enhancements and unprecedented success. His leadership earned him 2011-12 Division I Central Region Under Armour AD of the Year honors.

Under Carter’s leadership, the department is now properly staffed with support personnel. During his tenure he has developed positions in athletic development, business administration, compliance, academic services, sports medicine, strength training, marketing and media relations. All of these support services have proven to be necessary for ORU to compete successfully in today’s world of Division I athletics.

Another key component in ORU’s athletic success was acceptance into the Summit League (formerly the Mid-Continent Conference) on July 1, 1997. The affiliation came after years of hard work and dedication by Carter and University leaders. Beginning in 2012-13, Carter leads ORU into a new age as the department joins the Southland Conference.

While in the Summit League, the Golden Eagles were a perennial favorite for the league’s Commissioner’s Cup, awarded to the league’s best athletic department. ORU captured nine Cups in 15 years. Over the past 15 years the Golden Eagles have totaled 75 NCAA Tournament appearances, two NIT appearances, three WNIT appearances, 84 All-America selections, and three Olympians. In 2008, Andretti Bain became ORU’s first national champion in any sport when he captured NCAA titles in both the indoor and outdoor 400 meters. Bain went on to win a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics as part of the Bahamas 4x400 meter relay team. Pole vaulter Jack Whitt became the second National Champion, winning the 2012 Outdoor Pole Vault Championship.

ORU’s athletic success hasn’t just been limited to wins on the field. The Golden Eagles have been extremely successful in the classroom as well, earning an overall GPA of 3.0 or better in 14 out of the last 15 years. Part of the reason for those honors was Carter’s creation of the Eli Academic Learning Center, one of the many facility upgrades he has directed. Others include the construction and/or improvement of the volleyball, baseball, basketball and soccer facilities that have assured ORU’s athletic facilities can rival most NCAA Division I universities.

Yet, Carter isn’t resting on his laurels. New men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms, women’s basketball offices and a sports medicine facility in the Mabee Center have been constructed. ORU opened the Golden Eagle Sports Complex in 2006, a multi-purpose facility located at J.L. Johnson Stadium which features a 2,500-square foot strength and conditioning center; the Grand Slam Room; and new offices for the baseball coaching staff. A 35,000-square foot indoor practice facility opened as part of the Golden Eagle Sports Complex in the summer of 2009. The Mabee Center basketball arena received a new state-of-the-art video scoreboard in the fall of 2008, cementing its place as the finest arena in the Southland Conference..

Carter and his wife, Paula have two grown children, Lizz and Cason, and two grandchildren. They are also the parents of late son, Scott, who died in December 1993 of childhood cancer.

The 2012 Oral Roberts University volleyball season will forever be remembered for the struggles Sheera Sirola’s team endured throughout the first half of the campaign and the perseverance the Golden Eagles displayed to overcome those challenges in the season’s final month. A veteran ORU club with high expectations battled a slew of injuries, a difficult non-conference schedule and a better-than-expected Southland Conference, at one point finding themselves five games under .500 at the end of September. But Sirola and the Golden Eagles would not fold the tents, rallying to win 11 of their final 15 matches and book their second consecutive appearance in a conference tournament championship match.

ORU JOINS THE SOUTHLAND The building blocks for a the 2012 season were laid in place long before the season’s first serve in late August. In fact, ORU took its first steps towards a historic campaign on October 25, 2011, when the school formally joined the Southland Conference. The move came after 15 seasons in the Mid-Continent Conference/Summit League, which included seven volleyball conference championships, including six straight titles from 1997-2002.GOLDEN EAGLES SURGE TO SLC TOURNAMENT FINALS Sixth-seeded Oral Roberts became the lowest-seeded team in league history to advance to the

Southland Conference Tournament Championship Match with two victories at the event. ORU opened the tournament with a 3-0 thrashing of third-seeded Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Nov. 16, and a day later they came back with a 3-0 sweep over second-seeded Sam Houston State. The victories set up a showdown with top-seeded Central Arkansas, the tournament hosts, with ORU suffering a 3-1 loss on Nov. 18. Still, ORU made history with their run to the SLC Championship Match, with libero Bruna Silva and middle blocker Sheina Fernandes earning All-Tournament honors.Lowest Seeds to Reach SLC Championship1.

ORU SUCCEEDS IN FIRST SLC SEASON Despite holding the sixth seed at the end of the SLC regular season, the Golden Eagles performed very well in the top-heavy conference. Oral Roberts went 11-7 (.611) in the SLC regular season, becoming just the seventh school of the 17 that have played SLC volleyball (and the first since 1991) to post a winning record in its first season as league members. Additionally, ORU became just the fourth SLC volleyball team (and the first since 1987) to reach the tournament championship match in its first season as league members.

INJURIES PILE UP, BUT FRESHMEN FILL IN ADMIRABLY There’s no question that an abnormal rash of injuries was a major contributing factor in ORU’s early season struggles. Injuries accounted for 71 combined missed matches for the Golden Eagles, hitting veterans Sthephanie Mab (19 missed matches), Olivia Ophus (17) and Shelby Robb (11) especially hard. Those setbacks were a huge reason that ORU stood just 6-11 at the end of September. But those voids created an opportunity for ORU’s freshman class to step up, with two rookies providing especially important contributions. Bartlesville native Sadie Schaffner earned a rotation spot for the season’s final 16 matches, and she contributed 2.04 kills and 0.79 blocks per set. Outside hitter Kylie Johnson, meanwhile, shifted to a defensive role and finished second on the club with 266 digs. Neither player figured to feature prominently for Sheera Sirola’s team in 2012, yet both rookies were lineup fixtures by the end of the year and are poised for breakout seasons in 2013.

TAYLOR ORCHESTRATES BALANCED ORU ATTACK Serving as the setter on a team as balanced as ORU is can be a challenge for any player, but Union High product Laura Taylor showed in 2012 why she is the perfect person for the job. Taylor averaged 9.91 assists per set as a junior and helped seven Golden Eagles tally over 100 kills on the season. Taylor also averaged 1.11 kills and 0.79 blocks per set, adding herself to the mix of dangerous attackers. On October 25, Taylor tallied her second career triple-double with 11 kills, 14 digs and 47 assists against Sam Houston State.

SILVA NETS SLC LIBERO OF THE YEAR Bruna Silva added to her incredible résumé as a junior leading the Southland Conference in digs and earning SLC Libero of the Year honors as a result. Silva recorded 627 digs in her third collegiate season, pacing the SLC with 5.22 digs per set. The SLC Libero of the Year honor came on the heels of 2011’s Summit League Defensive Player of the Year trophy, putting Silva in elite company at ORU. Only four other Golden Eagles have tallied multiple conference player of the year awards, and Silva will have an opportunity to become the second ORU player to win three yearly awards.ORU Players with Multiple Conference Player of the Year AwardsJuliana Moser1997, 98, 99 Mid-Con Player of the Year Anna Moreno2000, 02 Mid-Con Setter of the Year Becky Dreher2002, 04 Mid-Con Defensive Player of the Year Ori Zuzic2005, 06 Mid-Con Player of the Year Bruna Silva2011 Summit League Defensive Player of the Year 2012 Southland Conference Libero of the Year

FERNANDES SHINES ON THE COURT, IN THE CLASSROOM Departed senior Sheina Fernandes had a stellar final season on the court, earning an All-SLC selection after hitting .350 with 1.23 blocks per set. But the Brazil native was also a star in the classroom, posting a perfect 4.00 GPA in international business. The classroom prowess netted Fernandes ORU’s first ever Capital One Academic All-America selection in the sport of volleyball. Fernandes was also a Capital One Academic All-District selection, a member of the SLC All-Academic Team, and a SLC FL. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship recipient.

ORU LEADS SLC IN BLOCKS Without a doubt, the strength of defensive domination formed the core of ORU’s success in 2012. The digging efforts of Bruna Silva accounted for a huge share of the effort, but a devastating team-wide blocking strategy was just as important. Oral Roberts led the Southland Conference in blocks per set, at 2.82, a mark that checked in 17th in all of NCAA Division I. Individually, Jessica Pancratz led the conference (and finished 25th nationally) in blocks, with 1.36 per set, while Sheina Fernandes finished 3rd in the league with 1.23 per set.
