THE MATCH

KINGSVILLE, Texas – With a plethora of new faces in Blue and Gold, as well as a pair of starters from last year back in the fold, the Texas A&M-Kingsville volleyball team is ready to pop the cork on their 2018 season with a trip to San Angelo, Texas for four matches, as the Javelinas will participate in the Kathleen Brasfield Invitational.

Coach Tanya Allen will first send her squad against New Mexico Highlands on Friday at 10 a.m., followed by a 2 p.m. clash with Arkansas Fort-Smith. Saturday’s slate begins with an 8 a.m. tilt versus St. Mary’s and concludes when the Javs take on East Central University at 4 p.m.

“I’m excited to get [the team] on the court,” said Allen. “We have a lot of new players and I think we have a lot of flexibility with our lineups. I’m excited to get them out there and competing so we can find the best way to put them together to win games.

Of the 16 student-athletes who’ve earned roster spots for TAMUK, 12 will be experiencing their first go-round in Kingsville and half are freshman. More than 90 percent of last year’s production in assists, aces and digs are gone, largely due to the graduations of Casey Klobedans and Krystal Faison, but two of the team’s most important contributors are back for one last campaign.

Senior right side Madison Brabham took a huge step forward in 2017, as she evolved into one of the top hitters in the Lone Star Conference. Her stat line included 336 kills and an average of 2.85 kills per set, both top 10 marks in the LSC. The Kingwood, Texas native also contributed 70 total blocks, TAMUK’s third-highest total. After finishing her junior season on the all-conference first-team, Brabham was recog-nized as the LSC’s 2018 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.

“I think with her pressure is a good thing,” said Allen, “and that will push her to be better. I think the award gave her a lot of confidence and it made her feel good. That’s obviously a positive, but there’s always pressure to succeed and now she knows she has something she’s striving for that will reward her for her hard work.”

Fellow fourth-year Javelina Haley Hutchinson (Georgetown, Texas) will return to her customary spot in the middle, where she accumulated a team-high 120 rejections a year ago. Her career tally of 379 total blocks has her in third place in program history and within striking distance of Ada Ihemelu’s career school record of 483.

Among the program’s new additions are 10 players who were named all-district or all-region while at their previous institutions and three who helped lead their teams to championships. The roster also in-cludes junior Loren Washington (Austin, Texas), who was a member of TAMUK’s national championship beach volleyball team in the spring.

VOLLEYBALL2018-19 @JavelinaVB Game Notes

The 2018 season will be Tanya Allen’s eighth year at the helm of the Javelina volleyball program. In 2017, she continued her streak of guiding her team to the Lone Star Conference tournament, a benchmark the squad has reached every season since Allen took over. Five of the team’s student-athletes landed on the LSC’s postseason rosters, with Madison Brabham, Lexi Wick and Krystal Faison all garnering first-team all-conference recognition. Wick and Casey Klobedans were honored with spots on the CoSIDA Academic All-District rosters, the first time in program history two Javelinas have earned that status in the same season. Allen added 21 more victories to her program-record win total, which now stands at 131.

In the spring of 2018, Allen guided the beach volleyball team to an American Volleyball Coaches Association National Championship. The Javelinas posted a record of 20-10 during a season that saw them notch seven victories over teams from Division I schools. At the AVCA Small College Beach Championships, TAMUK won all four of its matches. clinching the national title with a 4-1 defeat of Eckerd College. In doing so, they became the first women’s team in school history to earn a national championship. At season’s end, Allen’s freshman tandem of Tenley Housler and Erin Umbel were recognized with AVCA Top Flight Awards after they went 23-7 as a team.

Allen spent 2016 making Javelina volleyball history as she took Texas A&M University-Kingsville to the NCAA South Central Region for the first time ever. The Hogs concluded the season with the most wins in program history (26-10) and Wick became the first Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association (D2CCA) and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region and All-American nominee.

The 2016 Javelina squad ranked fourth in Division II in kills (1,706), assists (1,602) and aces (225), and eighth in total blocks with 298. All in all, Wick was named AVCA and D2CCA All-American honorable mention, D2CCA First Team All-South Central Region, All-LSC First Team, LSC All-Tournament Team and LSC Newcomer of the Year. Faison joined Wick on the All-LSC first team and LSC All-Tournament squad, surpassing 1,000 career kills in her Javelina career. Faison earned back-to-back first team all-conference selections and also became the first A&M-Kingsville student-athlete to earn NCAA South Central Region All-Tournament honors.

The spring of 2017 saw Allen’s beach volleyball team make its collegiate debut. The squad, which was first announced as an addition to TAMUK’s athletics program in 2015, won its first four matches before finishing their inaugural campaign with a record of 10-17, a mark that included a pair of victories over Division I Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Allen surpassed 100 career wins with a straight set victory at Midwestern State University October 15. The Hogs went 10-6 in LSC play and earned the No. 3 seed in the tournament, where they defeated West Texas A&M University in a five set thriller for the school’s first LSC tournament win since 1998. Klobedans became the all-time leader in assists and was named All-LSC second team. Allen led the 2015 squad to 19 wins and their fourth consecutive Lone Star Conference Tournament appearance, highlighted by the Javelina leader becoming the all-time winningest coach in program history early in the season and led the school to its best season since 1998. She went into 2016 with an 84-76 mark and her .525 winning percentage is second best among qualified coaches in TAMUK history.

Despite having zero seniors on the 2015 team, the Hogs totaled eight conference victories en route to earning the No. 5 spot in the 2015 LSC Tournament. Led by Klobedans and Faison, who both landed on the All-LSC first-team and All-LSC second-team honoree Brett Zaccardo (all three were sophomores), the Javelinas upset nationally-ranked Angelo State University in four sets and defeated West Texas A&M University on Oct. 10 for the first time since 2004. Allen became the all-time winningest coach with her 69th victory on Sept. 11 when Texas A&M-Kingsville swept St. Mary’s University. One day later, Zaccardo set a new three-set mark in digs with 29 in a sweep of Lubbock Christian University. For her efforts, Zaccardo was named LSC Defensive Player of the Week Sept. 15 after averaging 5.77 digs per set in four matches. Following TAMUK’s upset win over the Rambelles, outside hitter Valarie Moehrig was named LSC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 41 kills in three matches. Moehrig became the first weekly LSC honoree on the offensive side since current graduate assistant coach Kelsey Washington earned the distinction Oct. 8, 2013.

The historic season continued as Zaccardo ended the month of October as the first player in school history to surpass the 500 digs mark. Poised to earn a spot in the NCAA South Central Regionals for the first time ever, the Javelinas appeared at No. 7 in the initial South Central Regional rankings. In the LSC Tournament opener versus No. 4 Cameron University, the Javelinas nearly advanced to the semifinals before falling to the Aggies in a five-set thriller. Klobedans was named to the conference all-tournament team and All-LSC first-team after earning co-setter of the year honors in 2014.

Individually, Klobedans was 32nd in total assists (1,283), Zaccardo was 36th in digs (637) and Faison was No. 38 in total attacks (1,256).

Klobedans and Zaccardo earned honorable mention and Klobedans was selected the league’s co-Setter of the Year.

Off the court, the Javelina volleyball program was named the 2014 Texas A&M University-Kingsville Student Athlete Advisory Committee Team of the Year for their community service and outreach. The 2012 campaign featured two All-LSC selections with Washington and Brown earning second team honors. Ali Insell was selected to the LSC All-Academic team and CoSIDA Academic All-District VI First Team. Kalinda Graves appeared on the LSC All-Tournament team for her performance in the conference postseason tourney. As a team, the Hogs finished 13th in the country in digs per set, averaging 18.38.

Laura Macek set a school record for blocks in a match and Bethany Friesenhahn set a program mark for attack percentage in a match. Washington appeared on the All-LSC second team and Insell was honorable mention.

FIRST OFFENSEAfter being selected to the All-Lone Star Conference first-team following the 2017 regular season, senior Madison Brabham became the first player in program history to be chosen as the LSC’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. The last Javelina to receive a preseason honor was Casey Klobedans, who was chosen as preseason setter of the year in 2015 and 2016

RECORD TRACKERAfter three years in the Blue and Gold, middle blocker Haley Hutchinson owns a total of 379 total blocks, third-most in program history. She’s 104 away from the school’s career record of 483, which belongs to Ada Ihemelu, who was a Javelina from 1997-99.

YOUTH WILL BE SERVEDExactly 50% of TAMUK’s 16-person roster is made up of freshman, the highest percentage in the conference. Only Texas A&M-Commerce has more rookies, with nine out of their 23 student-ath-letes compared to Kingsville’s eight. Only Texas Woman’s with 15 players has a small roster than the Javelinas.

LSC SUCCESSThe Javs posted a record of 13-7 in the Lone Star Conference in 2017, one year after going 14-6 in the league. This marked the first time since 1997-98 the Javs record winning records in the confer-ence in consecutive seasons. They will be going for three straight seasons reaching that goal this season, a feat the program hasn’t accomplished since 1996-98.

STREAKING JAVELINASHaley Hutchinson enters this season riding a streak of 26 consecutive matches with at least one block. Madison Brabham is carrying a streak of four straight contests with double-digit kills.
