New Terminology and Scoring:There were a few new rule changes in 2008. The NCAA coaches have decided to change theterminology “game” to “set” - so nowmatches consist of the best three-of-five sets. Also, insteadof rally scoring to 30 points in the first four sets, sets will be played to 25. The fifth set will still be rallyscoring to 15 points. Both changes were made tomirror international volleyball.

Quickfacts and 2010 Season Outlook


In 2008, the Nittany Lions became the sixth team to win back-to-back national championships. ebig question heading into 2009 was if Penn State could make it three in a row. Any doubt was soon putto rest as Penn State became the Urst team to win three straight NCAA National titles with a 3-2 come-from-behind victory against Texas in the 2009 NCAA Championship.

Volleyball fans may wonder what is in store for the Nittany Lions in 2010. ey may be quick to pointout the loss of All-American talents in Alisha Glass and Megan Hodge and the youth of this year’s squad.ey may even be asking the question, “Can this team do it one more time?”

However, head coach Russ Rose isn’t worrying about another national title or even a Big Ten Cham-pionship. His focus, as it has always been, is on developing a whole new team with the same rich traditionand high goals as the teams in years past. Youth aside, Rose will look to his experienced players, thesame ones who have played key roles in the three championships, to set an example for the group of tal-ented newcomers who will join them on the court this season.

Rose, who enters his 32nd season at the helm of the Penn State program, knows this year will be dif-ferent. He knows it will be tough on everyone from the players to the staff. His time, effort andexperience give him an advantage though. Rose knows what to expect and how hard everyone will haveto work. Most importantly, he is realistic.

“e last two or three years, I thought on paper that we had a team that could legitimately competefor a national championship,” said Rose. “I wouldn’t say that about this team because it’s unfair. Whatthis team can do is improve throughout the season. I expect us to hit a lot of bumpy roads along theway. e conference is tough and our schedule presents us with some great challenges. Our goal in theend will be to be the best team we can be, to get better through the season, to play hard and play together.We’ll see where we end up.”

SetterWho’s Back?

Marika Racibarskas (Chatham, N.J.) andKristin Carpenter (Mechanicsville, Va.) are backfor their second season as Nittany Lions. e pairpossesses experience setting from their highschool and club careers, but saw action in theirfreshman season as serving and defensive spe-cialists. While coach Rose feels Carpenter is thebest athlete of the group and Marika is one of thehardest workers on the team, he may be lookingat a newcomer to take over for three-time All-American Glass.

Who’s New?Freshman Mikinzie Moydell (Parker Colo.) is

leading the pack as the potential starting setteraccording to Rose.

“Mikinzie has a good handle on the game andshe interacts well with others. e physicalnature of college volleyball is something she won’tunderstand until she’s in the gym and has ballsbeing hit at her at a certain velocity, big outsidehitters hitting over her and small outside hittersbeing crafty with her. It’ll be a far cry from whatwe’ve done the last couple of years, but that’s notgoing to stop us from going to practice every dayand trying to Und a way to be competitive both in the conference and in the national picture.”

Moydell was named an AAU, AVCA Under Armour and ESPN RISE All-American as a three-yearvarsity letterwinner at Chaparral High School. She guided her team to the 2006 and 2009 DistrictChampionship, as well as the 2009 Regional title. A First Team All-Colorado nominee, Moydell was alsonamed to the Volleyball Magazine Fab 50.

Outside HitterWho’s Back?

Junior Katie Kabbes (Raleigh, N.C.) is one of two returning outside hitters for Rose, but with soph-omore Darcy Dorton (Muncie, Ind.) a question mark for the Urst part of the season, Kabbes will be thelone returner with any collegiate match experience. Kabbes will be looking to make an impact from the

BlairBrown


2010 Season Outlook


start at one of the two open outside positions. Her predecessors were All-Americans and Rose feels Kabbes is ready to step up.

“Katie certainly has made great strides over the last two years. I hope thiswill be a breakout season for her.”

Kabbes appeared in 39 matches in her Urst two seasons as a NittanyLion. She has totaled 68 kills and 24 blocks, while also posting 21 digs.

On the right side, Coach Rose can count on the leadership and experi-ence of senior captain Blair Brown (Purcellville, Va.). A two-timeAll-American, it will be necessary for Brown to lead the talented crop ofnewcomers.

“is is Blair and Ari’s (Arielle Wilson) team this year and I trust they’lldo their best,” said Rose. “We might have to move Blair to the outside andhave someone else play right if our hitting doesn’t come along. At thispoint, I don’t know. But Blair is a two-time All-American and I’m conU-dent she’ll play like one.”

A unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selection, Brown Unished secondon the team in 2009 with 347 kills for an average of 2.97 kills per set. Shewas a strong blocker for Rose, tallying 107 blocks for the season, whilealso making in impact in the back row and as a server.

Who’s New?Rose has two newcomers hoping to Und a starting spot on the outside,

including Maddie Martin (Tampa, Fla.) and Deja McClendon (Louisville,Ky.). Two other options Rose might look at are Carpenter and freshmanAli Longo (Littleton, Colo.), a defensive specialist.

“Deja is a great offensive player who plays high at the net, while Mad-die is more of an all-around threat. Kristin and Ali are both small, butwere successful at the junior and high school levels as passer/hitters.Although they’re small, they play hard and might Und themselves in themix as well.”

Martin, who is 6-2, was a four-year varsity letterwinner at H.B. PlantHigh School where she guided her team to four straight state champi-

onships. She was atwo-year member of theUSA A1 Select Team andwas named the FloridaGatorade Player of theYear. Martin was a two-time PrepVolleyballAll-American, as well as anAAU, ESPN RISE andAVCA Under Armour All-American.

McClendon comes toPenn State after beingselected Miss KentuckyVolleyball and the Ken-tucky Gatorade Player ofthe Year. A four-time AAUAll-American, McClen-don was a member of the2009 JVDA NationalChampions and won agold medal at the USAVHigh Performance Cham-pionships.

Longo played for theJuggernaut Volleyball Cluband was a four-year letter-winner and three-yearcaptain at ChatUeld High.

She was a three-time First Team All-Conference honoree and was a two-time Region All-Star selection.

Middle HitterWho’s Back?

Rose welcomes back AVCA First Team All-American Arielle Wilson(Broadview, Ill.) and senior Fatima Balza (Merida, Venezuela) at middle.

“Ari led the nation in hitting last year, but it was with the aid of a greatpassing team and a terriUc setter,” said Rose. “She will have to adjust thisyear with the change in our level of passing and setting and will have tomake good swings every time. Ari will be our leader in the middle.

“Fatima did a terriUc job last year with what we asked her to do. She wasnot one of our primary offensive options, but was very good when offeredthe opportunity. Overall, Fatima made great contributions to the teamand I believe she’ll continue to be a hard worker and a good blocker.”

Wilson was named to the NCAA Championship All-Tournament Teamand earned First Team All-Big Ten status. She led the nation with a record-breaking .540 hitting percentage and her career hitting percentage of .489tops the Nittany Lion career charts. She started all 38 matches in 2009and Unished third on the team with 337 kills and led the team with 186blocks, averaging 1.52 blocks per set.

In her Urst year at Penn State, Balza played in all 38 matches, startingin all but one. She Unished second on the team with 171 total blocks, aver-aging 1.47 blocks per set to rank 10th in the nation. Balza has three ormore blocks in 32 matches and posted a career-best 12 against Ohio State.

Who’s New?Joining Wilson and Balza in the middle are freshmen Erica Denney

(Aurora, Colo.), Ariel Scott (Ridgewood, N.J.) and Katie Slay (Raleigh,N.C.). While Rose will see the newcomers play for the Urst time duringpreseason, he’s conUdent they will adapt well to the collegiate game andadd some depth at the position.

“Erica and Mikinzie played well together in club so that experience mayprovide some intangibles,” said Rose. “Ariel is a physical player who I thinkwe’ll look at to play this year at either middle or outside. She has a greatframe, good strength and is very competitive. Katie may be the best incom-ing blocker we’ve ever had in the program. She may have to work hard toearn time on the court from an offensive standpoint, but she’s going to beable to block a lot of balls.”

2010 Season Outlook


Denney was a four-year letterwinner at Grandview High School whereshe led her team to the 2007 State Championship and a third place Unishin 2009. e three-time All-State honoree was named an AVCA/UnderArmour All-American and a PrepVolleyball.com Senior Ace. Denneypicked up international experience with the Youth National Team aidingthem in winning a gold medal at the 2008 NORCECA Championships,as well as competing in the 2009 World Championships in ailand.

e New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year, Scott was also anAVCA/Under Armour All-America. She was named to the USA A2 HighPerformance Team and joined Denney as a Prepvolleyball.com Senior Ace.At Immaculate Heart Academy, Scott guided her team to four straightleague championship and three straight state championships.

Defensive Specialist/LiberoWho’s Back?

Rose most assuredly can count on the presence of seniors Alyssa D’Er-rico (Byron, N.Y.), Cathy Quilico (ousand Oaks, Calif.) and JessicaUllrich (WinUeld, Ill.) in the back row in 2010. e trio is joined byreturning junior Megan Shifflett (Falls Church, Va.), as well as Carpenter.

“We’re going to depend a lot on our seniors, Cathy, Alyssa and Jess. Ithink we’ll be stronger in the back row. While I don’t think you can win alot of matches being stronger in the back, I think you can steal a coupleof matches thanks to the impact of the back row players. It will prove tobe a competitive position for us this year and the expectations of thoseindividuals playing will be very high.”

D’Errico was the starting libero last season playing in all 38 matches. Sheled the team in digs with 433, averaging 3.55 digs per set, and aces with62. Quilico was a consistent presence at defensive specialist for Roseappearing in all 38 matches, starting in 18. While the shortest member ofthe team at 5-1, she is one of the quickest and made some big plays in theNCAA Finals.

Ullrich played in 29 matches last season as a serving and defensive spe-cialist. Coach Rose knows he can count on Ullrich’s serve, as well asCarpenter’s. He also knows he can count on the experience and volleyballIQ of Shifflett, who played during the National Championship, as well as

her ability to handle the pressure of making plays at critical times.

Who’s New?In addition to the experienced upperclassmen, Rose will have additional

options in the back row thanks to a host of newcomers. Freshmen Mag-gie Harding (State College, Pa.), Ali Longo (Littleton, Colo.) and KrosbyPabst (Long Beach, Calif.) will all compete for time on the court this sea-son.

“Krosby has a great volleyball IQ and always seems to be in the rightplace at the right time,” said Rose. “Ali has a strong jump serve and whileMaggie may not be as strong as some of the other players, she works hardand has the potential to make some great contributions to this team.”

Harding, a four-year letterwinner and team captain at local State Col-lege Area High School, was an All-State selection her senior season andearned spots on the PVA Invitational, Rally in the Valley Invitational,Susquehannock Invitational and the Saint Francis Invitational All-Tour-nament Teams.

Longo, the third newcomer to the team this year from Colorado, wasalso a four-year varsity letterwinner in high school. A three-time First TeamAll-Conference honoree, Longo was named Second Team All-State andJeffco League MVP in her senior season. She played for the JuggernautVolleyball Club and was a two-time Region All-Star selection.

Pabst guided her high school team to two straight Moore League Var-sity Volleyball Championships in Long Beach, Calif. A two-timeAll-Moore League Second Team honoree, Pabst earned a gold medal involleyball at the Junior Olympics. She also lettered in soccer where shealso earned All-Moore League Second Team accolades twice.

Head Coach Russ Rose


Heading one of the most successful programs in the country, Russ Rosepasses along the conUdence and character he has gained during his tenure inHappy Valley.

It is a conUdence not gleaned from the shine of numerous trophies and acco-lades bestowed upon the coach and the program, though no one wouldquestion if it was. In 31 seasons at Penn State, Rose has collected wins at a stag-gering pace. Never having posted less than 22 wins in a season, he enters the2010 season as the NCAA leader in career winning percentage, having wonmore than 86% of the matches he has coached at Penn State. In 2009, Rosebecame only the third active Division I head coach to surpass the 1,000 careerwins milestone. His teams have collected four national titles and 13 Big Tenchampionships in 19 years within the league, all while entrenching the NittanyLions among the elite programs in the nation.

While he doesn’t focus on personal accolades, Rose’s accomplishments readlike a laundry list of volleyball awards. In 2007 Rose was one of three coachesinducted into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall ofFame and was also named the AVCA Division I National Coach of the Year, theAVCA Mideast Region Coach of the Year and the Big Ten Coach of the Yearby both the coaches and the media. He garnered all three awards again in 2008in leading his team to its third NCAA title. In response to theawards, Rose focused the praise back on his teams.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized by the governingorganization of your sport,” he said with regards to the Hallof Fame induction. “It’s an individual award given to a coachof a team sport, so it’s a reVection of the great players andstaff, and the commitment the university has made to give usan opportunity to compete at a high level and have success.”

Others also realize the impact that Rose has had on thevolleyball community, not only in Pennsylvania but acrossthe country.

“Halls of Fame are reserved for those who have doneexceptional work for a long, long time,” said AVCA Execu-tive Director Kathy DeBoer. “ese candidates are the bestof the best, and credit Russ Rose with putting Penn State andthe East on the volleyball map. His national championships,his remarkable string of elite teams and his parade of home-grown All-Americans have all contributed to makingvolleyball a national sport.”

It was four of those homegrown All-Americans that aidedRose and the Nittany Lions down the long road to captur-ing the NCAA National Championship in 2007 byoutlasting Stanford in Uve games in Sacramento, Calif. Jun-iors Nicole Fawcett and Christa Harmotto and sophomoreMegan Hodge earned AVCA FirstTeam All-America honorswhile sophomore Alisha Glass picked up AVCA SecondTeam All-America accolades, and it was those four who werethe core of the Lion arsenal. Penn State Unished the year witha 34-2 record and did not lose a contest after Sept. 15, drop-

ping only 18 sets in the entire season. e Nittany Lions ended the seasonranked Urst in the country in hitting percentage, attacking at a Big Ten-recordclip of .350, good for second all-time in the Penn State annals. e NittanyLions also continued their dominance of the Big Ten, posting a perfect 20-0record and capturing their unprecedented Ufth consecutive outright conferencetitle, a feat never before accomplished by a volleyball squad. Harmotto earnedBig Ten Player of the Year honors by annihilating the conference record for hit-ting percentage. She attacked at a .492 clip for the year to top the previousrecord of .455 set in 1986.

e Nittany Lions improved upon 2007’s result in 2008 not just by winningtheir third national title, but becoming only the sixth team to win back-to-backnational titles and only the fourth team to manage it while going undefeated.e 2008 squad led by six AVCA All-Americans, including Urst team honoreesChrista Harmotto, Nicole Fawcett (AVCA National Player of the Year), AlishaGlass and Megan Hodge and second team honorees Blair Brown and ArielleWilson, Unished the season with a perfect 38-0 record. e Nittany Lions wona record-breaking 111 straight sets on their way to the title, and entered 2009on a NCAA record-breaking 64-match winning streak. e Lions Unished 2008setting a rally era record for hitting percentage with a mark of .390. It’s the sec-ond-highest percentage of all time for any era. Penn State once again dominatedthe Big Ten Unishing with a 20-0 record for the Ufth time. e squad had UveFirst Team All-Big Ten honorees and Fawcett was named PSU’s 18th Big TenPlayer of the Year.

Back-to-back national titles weren’t enough for the Nittany Lions whobecame the Urst team in Division I women’s volleyball history to win three ina row with a come-from-behind triumph against No. 2 Texas in 2009. Led byfour returning All-Americans in Hodge, Glass, Wilson and Brown, Penn StateUnished with a 38-0 record for the second straight season extending their record-breaking winning streak to 102-consecutive matches. Hodge, the AVCANational Player of the Year and Honda-Broderick Cup Co-Winner, Glass, Wil-son and Brown all picked up Urst team All-America honors and Wilson

shattered NCAA record for hitting percentage attackingat a .540 clip for the year. With another dominating per-formance in the Big Ten with a perfect 20-0 record,Hodge was named the Big Ten Player of the Year for thesecond time, freshman phenom Darcy Dorton wasnamed the Freshman of the Year and Rose was honoredas the league’s Coach of the Year.

In 2003, Rose celebrated 25 years of coaching at PennState. He was honored with a bench outside of the postoffice sponsored by the Penn State Booster Club and sur-prised with a gathering of more than 40 former playersand members of the program, who offered their thoughtsand insights on Rose and his career.

“It was my sophomore year when he said ‘When youleave this gym, when you Unish your career, every dayyou leave here, you should feel like you gave 110 per-cent,’” said former player Christy Cochran (1995-98).“And that’s exactly it. If you put your career in his hands,you’ll be great.”

Rose’s inVuence in the lives of his former players is evi-dent. “I truly miss him,” said four-time All-AmericanBonnie Bremner (1996-99). “I don’t even miss playing,I just miss seeing him every day.”

However, even with all of his success on the court,Rose does not reVect on past successes. “Fans can getspoiled very quickly in athletics and that’s a problem,”Rose said. “It’s not easy to be successful in anything andwhen people get accustomed to speciUc results, it some-times loses its effect on the players and they forget whatit really takes to succeed and how important the journey

really should be to their development. e challenge is in getting players whowant to become good and are willing to work instead of attending a schoolbecause the team is good.”

Instead, Rose addresses each new team and season on its own terms and hisconUdence lies in the ability and work ethic of his current players and coach-ing staff.

“I’m not much of a believer in predicting a team’s level of success,” Rose said.“I can only state that we’re going to do our best. If we’re good enough to winmatches then we’re going to win matches, but if we lose it’s never going to bebecause we didn’t prepare and work hard and it’s not going to be because werested on our program’s previous laurels.”

For a good example of this statement, look no further than the 1999 season.Following two consecutive campaigns which saw the Lions reach the title matchof the NCAA Tournament only to fall in defeat, the team returned to theNCAA Tourney Unale in 1999 and captured the Urst National Championshipin the program’s history with a 3-0 sweep over top-ranked Stanford. e 1999season also saw Rose lead Penn State to its second-consecutive 20-0 record inBig Ten play (and fourth straight conference title), becoming the Urst team inconference history to pull off the feat. In addition, the 1999 Nittany Lionsextended their NCAA record home-match winning streak to 80 straight(extended to 87 in 2000), eclipsing the previous standard of 58 set by Floridafrom 1990-94. e Lions streak was Unally put to a halt at 87 matches with aloss versus Minnesota on Sept. 29, 2000. Penn State had last dropped a matchat Rec Hall on Nov. 24, 1994, when they suffered a 3-2 setback to Illinois, aspan of over Uve seasons.

After posting a runner-up Unish in 1997, the Lions made it back to theNCAA Championship match in 1998. e team cruised through the regularseason with a 30-0 mark, with 28 of those coming in three games. Penn Statealso became only the second school to close out the BigTen schedule with a per-fect 20-0 mark.

After winning its Ufth Big Ten title, Penn State hosted the NCAA First and

Second Rounds and theCentral Regional. eyswept past Bucknell,Clemson, Louisville andBrigham Young to earn aspot in the school’s fourthnational semiUnal. Oncethey reached Madison,Wis., the season endedmuch like 1997. PennState defeated Nebraska 3-1 to advance to thenational championshipmatch. And once again,the Lions had to rally froma 0-2 deUcit to force a Ufthgame only to come upshort against Long BeachState for the NCAA title.

However, perhapsnowhere has Rose’s infusion of conUdence been more evident than in the twoother years when he led an inexperienced team with one starting senior and arookie setter deep into the postseason.

In 1996, the Lions started out 15-0, before Unishing the regular season witha 29-2 mark and a share of the Big Ten title, Rose’s third in six seasons in theconference. e squad that took the court in the NCAA tournament was com-prised of one senior, one junior, one sophomore and three freshmen. attalented group came two points from knocking off Nebraska at home, in amatch to go to the national semiUnal. Penn State Unished the campaign with a31-3 record and a Unal ranking of No. 5. Half of those starters, Bonnie Brem-ner, Angie Kammer and Terri Zemaitis, earned All-America honors, whileBremner became Penn State’s Urst Big Ten Freshman of the Year for her play atsetter.

e 1995 squad posted a 27-8 record and a No. 8 Unal national ranking.Rose’s ability to convey a belief in his players and to instill an uncompromisingwork ethic led to the Nittany Lions’ sixth straight appearance in the NCAARegionals and a third-place Unish in the BigTen. Along the way he guided PennState’s third Big Ten Player of the Year in just Uve seasons in the conference assophomore Zemaitis captured the award.

“I want the players to have a good experience — I want them to enjoy themany opportunities available at Penn State, but clearly I want them to knowthat they’ve come to a competitive, disciplined program and we’re going to workhard,” Rose said. “And without question have some fun along the way.

“I have been coaching here for a longtime, but I don’t want to take the

major responsibility for the program’ssuccess because I know one thing forsure, and that is you can’t get where

we are today without the total supportof the administration. You need to

have good leadership and financialsupport to compete with the nation’s

elite.”– Russ Rose

“We’re not fanatics, and I want the players to be happy. It goes without say-ing that it is easier to be happy when you’re winning than when you’re losing.”

“So, the staff will have to provide them with the necessary direction andopportunities and hope they remain healthy enough to see if we can make arun at winning as many matches as possible.”

at is something that has never been a problem for the coach. In his 31 sea-sons at Penn State, Rose’s record is 1,001-159, an .863 winning percentagethat places him Urst nationally among active coaches. His squads have secured30 or more wins in a season 22 times and 36 or more victories seven times.

In 1994, Rose coached the Nittany Lions to a second straight NCAAnational semiUnal appearance and picked up his 500th career win early in theseason. Placing second in the Big Ten with a 17-3 conference mark, the Nit-tany Lions posted a 31-4 ledger on the year and ended the regular-seasonranked No. 5, at the time their highest regular-season Unish ever. Season high-lights included beating national runner-up and perennial powerhouse UCLAat the Volleyball Monthly Invitational and stunning No. 1-ranked and unde-feated Nebraska in Lincoln in front of a full house at the NCAA MideastRegional Unal to advance to their second straight national semiUnal.

Rose’s athletes have earned 50 FirstTeam All-Big Ten honors in 19 yearsand have excelled off the court as

well, earning 127 Academic All-Big Tenaccolades.

Rose added to an already crowded trophy case by picking up the NCAAMideast Region Coach of the Year honor for the fourth time.

Still, Rose has had more to do with Penn State’s success on the court thanhe’s willing to admit.

“I think that it’s a reVection of my years of service and the caliber and com-mitment of players and staff we’ve attracted in the past,” Rose said. “Whenyou retire from coaching, people will look and see the success you had, but I’dlike to be evaluated on the success of my players, their feel for their experienceat Penn State and the growth that the program has had from the time I arrivedhere. We had three in-state scholarships and hand-me-down basketball jerseyswhen I arrived at Penn State. I think that’s more of a reVection of what I washoping to accomplish when I entered the profession.”

Yet, the on-the-court accomplishments do speak volumes. In 1993, anotherdream season, the Nittany Lions surged into their third year of Big Ten playand won their second consecutive conference title. At the NCAA Tournament,

the team strung together four victories and earned the right to play for theNational Championship against Long Beach State. Rose puts the success inproper perspective.

“ere are a large number of excellent coaches at great schools that have yetto break into the national semiUnals. ere are a small number of teams thathave made it there, and fewer yet that have reached the Unal match. I won’tlook at it (reaching the Unal match) other than it was a great ride that the play-ers took us on and it reinforced that there’s validity to how I’ve run the programhere at Penn State.

“e players need to understand what it takes to be successful and they needto have fun. We showed that winning can be fun and that it isn’t necessary tochange in a stressful environ-ment. Every team starts with thesame dream but few programscan really talk about competingfor a chance to win a NationalChampionship.”

Rose’s formula for success wasrecognized by the media and hiscoaching peers when he garneredthe triple-crown of coachingaccolades in 1993 as he did in1990. Volleyball Monthly namedRose the National Coach of theYear and he also was picked as theNCAA Mideast Region and theBig Ten Conference Coach of theYear.

It was the second time Rosewas honored nationally (1990),and the second straight year theBig Ten voted for the NittanyLion leader. In addition, he wasawarded Northeast RegionCoach of the Year four times, theAtlantic 10 Conference Coach ofthe Year six times and was Dis-trict II’s top coach in 1996.

“Coach is a great guy,” con-Uded three time All-AmericanSalima (Davidson) Rockwell,who spent time as the captainand starting setter on the U.S.National Team. “He’s verystraight-forward and to the point,which is what I like. e thingabout him is that you can talk tohim and he can help you withany problems you might have.en, on the court, he’s all busi-ness. I like that combination.”

So does former Nittany Lionoutside hitter and former volun-teer assistant coach Jen Reimers.“You learn how to be a better per-son and a better player,” she saidabout Rose’s teaching ability.“You learn how to work witheverybody else.”

“I like the fact that he comes out and tells you exactly how it is,” said PennState All-American Laura Cook (1991-94). “He bases a lot of our experienceon the court to life and life after volleyball.”

“I really enjoyed the experience I had while playing for Coach Rose,” said All-American Katie Schumacher (1998-01). “I learned a lot, both on and off thecourt. He is a great teacher and is well-respected around the nation.”

Many athletes have thrived under Rose’s tutelage as witnessed by the 30 dif-ferent All-Americans (earning 65 selections in all) and 26 Urst team All-Big Tenplayers (earning 59 selections in all) he has coached. In 1999, Lauren Caccia-mani was named Big Ten Player of the Year, the Big Ten Female Athlete of theYear and the Honda Award winner. Bonnie Bremner and Katie Schumacherjoined Cacciamani as All-Big Ten selections in 1999. Bremner won back-to-back Big Ten Player of the Year honors in 1997 and 1998. Amanda Rome andCarrie Schonveld were recognized with honorable mention All-Big Ten status,while Mishka Levy was named to the conference’s All-Freshman squad. PennState also placed six players on the Academic All-Big Ten Team in 1999, asBremner, Cacciamani, Kalna Miller, Schonveld, Rome and Dawn Ippolito werehonored.

In 2000, Schumacher repeated as an All-Big Ten performer, while Levyearned Urst-team status for the initial time in her career. Amanda Rome wasrecognized with honorable mention all-conference status after helping lead PennState to a 30-6 record and its 11th consecutive NCAA regional appearance in2000. In addition, Rome, Ippolito, Shannon Bortner, Robyn Guokas, ErinIceman and Hilary Sexton were named Academic All-Big Ten.

Even with its 22-8 season in 2001, Penn State advanced to the NCAA Tour-nament and garnered 20 wins in a season for the 26th straight year. Schumacherearned Urst team All-Big Ten honors while Levy picked up honorable mentionaccolades. Seven Lions earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition during the2001 campaign. Rome, Iceman, Guokas, Bortner, Sexton, Tabitha Eshlemanand Emily Gerega were all recognized for their scholastic and athletic achieve-ments.

In 2002, Rose led a young squad with a freshman setter to a second place Un-ish in the conference and the school’s 22nd consecutive NCAA Tournament.Freshman Sam Tortorello earned Penn State’s second ever Big Ten Freshman ofthe Year accolade and junior Cara Smith picked up second team All-Americahonors after leading the nation in hitting percentage for most of the season.e Nittany Lions also excelled in the classroom, with a conference-high nineathletes garnering Academic All-Big Ten honors.

e squad picked up its seventh Big Ten title in 2003 with a team that waspicked to Unish second in the conference preseason poll. Seniors Cara Smithand Erin Iceman and sophomore Sam Tortorello were named Urst team All-BigTen on a squad that Unished 17-3 in league play to earn its 23rd consecutiveNCAA berth.

Prior to entering the tough Big Ten Conference in 1991, Penn State expe-rienced unprecedented success in the Atlantic 10 Conference, winning eightstraight championships. In seven seasons of round-robin play, the NittanyLions never lost a conference match, reeling off 49 consecutive wins. e1990 season was Penn State’s last in the Atlantic 10 and it proved to be oneof the most exciting in the 25-year history of the program.

Unbeaten in 42 regular-season matches, the Nittany Lions swept Pur-due and Big Ten champion Wisconsin in the Urst two rounds of the NCAATournament. Of the team’s 44 wins, 40 were sweeps, a school and nationalrecord. Penn State, 12-0 against NCAA Tournament teams, lost toNebraska in four games in the Mideast Region championship match in Lin-coln.

The Rose Coaching Philosophy


Russ Rose has taken Penn State from the regionally competitive level tothat of an NCAA power since he took over the Penn State women’s volley-ball program in 1979. e development has been complete and successful,because of excellent talent and an equally sound method.

Following is “e Rose Coaching Philosophy:”

Coach’s role“I believe the coach has numerous roles that require constant review andattention. First, and foremost, is the recruitment of quality student-ath-letes. With effective coaching, student-athletes have always been the key toa team's success.”

“Secondly, we as a staff have to relate to the players what we feel is impor-tant for their growth and success. All the knowledge in the world will proveto be useless if we can't prepare our team for competition. We’ve shownthis to be one of our strengths. I have great conUdence that Dennis,Kaleena, having played for me, and Adam understand me and the program.I know they will do whatever it takes to help the players improve and pur-sue their dreams.”

“ird, we have to prepare the team, physically, tactically and mentally.e physical preparation is easy, as the entire Penn State environmentencourages the pursuit of excellence as shown by our years of high Unishesin the Director’s Cup results. e fact that Uve of our fall sports teams havewon Big Ten titles more than reinforces that school of thought. e men-tal aspect of our players' development is one of the areas that I feel hasseparated us from our competition. We are committed as a group to reach-ing the highest levels possible - year in and year out. e team understandsthe need to be accountable, and I’m not hesitant to get their focus headedin the right direction.”

“Certainly our time in the Big Ten has demonstrated to us the impor-tance of making sure that the players are aware of what is going to beexpected of them in a conference as strong as the Big Ten. It’s been thestrongest conference in the country as determined by the RPI and has ledthe nation in attendance for a number of years.”

“Outside the Big Ten, we commit to play a competitive non-conferenceschedule. We continually strive to meet teams during the regular-seasonthat have advanced in the national championship playoffs. It is a goal ofmine for Penn State to always be in the top Uve in strength of schedule.”

“I contend that the best way to see where our team is and where we aspireto be, is to play the nation’s best teams. Our administration has allowed usto compete annually for the national championship. Universities enableteams to compete for the national championship. I have been blessed tohave an administration that possessed the vision to support our programand I feel we have been able to deliver. It starts at the top with a UniversityPresident and Athletic Director and staff who guide and assist the program.”

“I think our role here is to attract the type of player who wants to be atPenn State, understands what we are about and knows what it will take toUt into our program. I refuse to be in the position where we are going tobe saying one thing to get a player interested in Penn State and then changeour story once the athlete arrives on campus. I am interested in players whoare willing to be up front, committed and passionate in what they see intheir own development and what we can do to help them succeed.”

“In turn, players must be willing to commit to the process and accept theculture of our program. ey must work to be the best they can be everyday, at practice and in matches. When those things happen, the results speakfor themselves. It is a collaborative effort. Every team is different and has itsown methods and paths to follow with the ultimate goal of being success-ful.”

“Over the years I have been contacted by numerous schools as well asthe U.S. National Team and foreign professional teams regarding recentcoaching positions, however I feel that the support I receive from theadministration at Penn State is perfect for me, and I have no interest incoaching anywhere but Penn State.”

Team Play“Team play really deals with volleyball being the ultimate team sport. elast few years, we’ve not only had outstanding talent but we’ve had a greatteam spirit. Talent can get you only so far. If players aren’t working togetherand trying to achieve great things, sacriUcing and willing to embrace theneeds of the team, then the team isn’t going to shine. I can’t guaranteerecruits that we’re going to win a conference championship or play for anational championship, albeit our goals should be along those lines. I guar-antee them they’re going to get better, be treated fairly and will have anopportunity to play.

“e team that is willing to emphasize the pursuit of excellence at itsown personal expense is the team that most often succeeds. Our successover the years, where we have won numerous conference titles and advancedto the national semiUnal and championship matches, continues to reinforcethese beliefs. e four National Championships are clearly the icing on thecake. A National Championship does not validate a coach, a player or theirprogram. It highlights the efforts of many and allows the community tocelebrate the actions of the team. Our goal is to remain at that level and evenif we fall short, we know that we are in the game. e pursuit is the chal-lenge and getting to the Unal match is the reward.”

Fundamentals“Fundamentals and the player’s development of them are the most impor-tant aspect of the game. e game is played by players who have to be ableto execute the basic skills of the game. We try to recruit student-athleteswho are great volleyball players but the game always comes down to theexecution of the core fundamentals. I will not sacriUce the time necessaryto develop a strong foundation. is is where a team's discipline and con-Udence is Urst introduced and developed. Our commitment to each teamis for every one of our players to be challenged to become the best they canbe every day. I know our players are constantly improving their game here.I can’t guarantee victories but I can guarantee a player will improve at PennState, and that is evidenced by the number of athletes who have receivedindividual awards or chosen to further their careers with the national teamor receive the opportunity to play professionally.”

Team Defense“Team defense is always an area we pride ourselves on and has always beenone of the staples of our program. e pursuit of the ball in a game canonly occur through preparation and repetition. I believe that everyone in theprogram has to rally around certain principles. At Penn State, we play hard,controlled defense, which means every player pursues every ball or they aretaken out. I believe if you train hard, then the game itself begins to appeareasy. If a player starts making decisions on what ball they think they can getand what they think is somebody else’s ball, that’s when we try to makesome adjustments and get someone else involved in the play. Our defensivephilosophy is to keep every ball in play — every day of each season in prac-tice as well as games. I believe we have shown this works over the long haulas well. Defense and winning are an attitude and we attempt to do the lat-


The Rose Coaching Philosophy


ter by emphasizing the former. I feel our defense in 2009’s title match wasthe key to our win.”

Student-Athlete“e term student-athlete is a very valid one here at Penn State and in theBig Ten. We recruit not only quality athletes, but quality students as well.ere is no question in my mind that the well-rounded individual will bebetter prepared to deal with the numerous challenges faced in life. e pro-grams available at Penn State are geared for success. e opportunity topursue your potential, both academically and athletically, is in place andworking well at Penn State. e student support services at Penn State andthe job Jim Weaver does with our team is outstanding. It is a reVection ofthe entire athletic department’s commitment to provide the necessary serv-ices for the student-athletes to pursue and achieve their dreams.”

“I expect a commitment both to academics and athletics. I take greatpride in the fact that every young woman who has entered our programand completed her playing eligibility has received her degree. Rankings ofthe 29 athletic programs on campus reveal that the women's volleyball teamannually posts one of the highest cumulative grade-point averages. Withproper emphasis on the importance of maintaining high academic stan-dards, I know we will achieve continual success. At Penn State, we have hadthe most members of the Academic All-Big Ten team as a sport and an insti-tution since joining the conference, and we take great pride in always havetwo or three academic all-Americans each year. at speaks volumes aboutour student-athletes as well as our academic advising staff.”

The Big Ten Conference“e Big Ten, in my opinion, continues to be one of the strongest confer-ences in the country in both fan support and performance. It is a conferencethat is totally committed to the pursuit of excellence. e opportunity toplay volleyball in the Big Ten truly enhances our program. e excitementgenerated by the athletes and fans at matches is great for the sport. It con-tinues to be a great environment in which to compete. e conference hasbeen ranked No. 1 in the volleyball RPI ratings since 1998 and has been anational leader in attendance the past three years. e addition of Nebraskain 2011 will certainly enhance it even more.”

Penn State University“Penn State as a school has been very fortunate and good for women’s vol-

leyball. I don’t think there is another school in the country that has thesupport of everyone from the president of the university to the athleticdirector to the residents of State College. Our players really reap the bene-Uts of being at Penn State. e university president routinely drops bypractices and uses the players in university functions to help increase the vis-ibility of the program and university. I am extremely optimistic on thefuture of Penn State women’s volleyball and there is no place in the coun-

try I’d rather be than Penn State. e community hassupported us during our development and the uni-versity’s commitment is to be the best in everythingit offers, from academics, music and the arts to ath-letics.”

Recruiting“Recruiting is the life blood of a program and a team.It is our goal to encourage quality student athletes tovisit Penn State with their parents to get a realisticview of what is really entailed with what we refer toas the ‘Penn State Experience.’ e campus, theenvironment and face of State College truly separatesus from many of the other schools in the country aswe exemplify the meaning of a ‘college town.’ echemistry that exists between the team members iswhat has kept us competitive and the energy thatexists between the university and the town of StateCollege keeps the juices Vowing. We want players

that want to make a commitment to be the best that they can be. We alsowant players to be aware of the fact that I am looking for a level of account-ability from them as well. I’m not looking for a situation where I’m goingto spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week trying to monitor their lifestylesor get involved in preventing them from having a good time. I believe thecollege experience at this time in their lives is the greatest opportunity tohave fun and explore. I think you live hard and play hard and at Penn State,the students have a great opportunity to have fun in multiple areas.”

Staff“I feel great about our staff. We are fortunate to have Dennis (Hohenshelt)and Kaleena Davidson. e position of Director of Volleyball Operationshas also demonstrated the university’s commitment to women’s volleyballand I feel great about the addition of Adam Hughes. His time in the Big Tenhas allowed him to hit the ground running and his experience at Penn Stateis a great advantage. Some people would think that having people who arefrom their alma mater would be a negative but I see it as a positive. It’s a pos-itive thing to have people with experience involved because they know inthis program, they are going to be encouraged to have an opinion and theiropinions are going to be heard. I respect what my former players have to sayand the players can turn to them and get good feedback and not be depend-ent on having to interact with me all of the time. e addition of Dennisfrom the men’s side of the game brings a wealth of knowledge to our pro-gram and I know the players reap the beneUts of interacting with him in thegym. An additional beneUt that is important in our philosophy is that wetry and look at the strengths of the players and how best to get them tocontribute as well as continue to meet their goals. We think it’s a tremen-dous bonus. We’re one of Uve schools in the country who have had a men’sand a women’s team that have won a national championship and the onlyschool outside of California and Hawaii that can make that claim and Ithink it’s terriUc that volleyball is on the map here year round. e inter-action between the men’s and women’s programs here is exceptional. Bothschools winning the National Title during the same academic year allowsthe sport to be valued here by our many fans and the great student sup-port.”

Booster Club“Our Booster Club has been outstanding with everything we’ve asked themto be involved in. ey funded our three foreign trips, they pay for our ban-quet and they support us at home and on the road. ey also provide awelcoming environment for the players away from home where they can gofor dinner and can interact with people who are supportive of the pro-gram.e Boosters are incredibly welcoming. I always get comments fromparents of recruits about how welcoming everyone is. I think that’s a partof Penn State and State College and it’s been a big part of our program.”

On Texas’s Destinee Hooker...“She�had�34�kills�and�she�hd�38�of�88�points�so,�I�was�disappointed�that�we�didn’tdo�a�better�job�getting�the�tip�because�you’d�like�to�think�that�was�something�youcould�get,�but�she�just�hits�from�such�a�high�contact�point�and�has�such�a�fresh�atti-tude�about�competing.�She�kept�going�hard�all�the�time.�e�scouting�report�indicatedthat�she�was�going�to�get�hers,�we�just�needed�to�limit�other�people�so�they�didn’t�havebig�nights�as�well.�e�superlatives�about�her�are�endless.�She�really�embraces�the�offen-sive�stlye�of�play.�I�thought�she�did�what�we�thought�she�was�going�to�do,�but�it’s�a�teamgame�and�we�had�some�ideas�of�what�we�thought�we�needed�to�do�to�have�success.�Ithought�Cathy�Quilico�really�came�up�big�for�us�defensively.”

On if the match was the closest match he hasever coaches in...“I�don’t�think�it’s�the�closest�because�we�were�lousy�in�game�two.�It�was�a�very�impor-tant�match.�We’ve�lost�a�number�of�matches�in�the�Final�Four�and�Unals�of�the�nationalchampionship�in�Uve.�We’re�appreciative�of�the�fact�that�we�were�able�to�get�to�the�Unalfour�and�beat�a�great�Hawaii�team�and�beat�a�great�Texas�team.�I�don’t�rank�things�likethat�-that’s�for�other�people�to�talk�about.�Our�seniors�left�an�incredible�mark�on�ourprogram.�I�told�them�they�would�be�judged�at�the�end�of�their�senior�season,�not�theircareers�to�that�point.”

On if the pressure increases with every winand national title...“e�competition�gets�harder�and�harder,�I�don’t�think�the�pressure�does.�What�pres-sure�will�we�have�next�year�with�nine�new�freshmen�coming�into�our�program?�epressure�will�be�to�keep�the�program�at�as�high�of�a�level�as�we’ve�been�at.�e�102-match�winning�streak�is�made�up�of�a�lot�of�players�that�are�gone.�Only�one�team�endsa�season�with�a�win,�unfortunately.�ere�are�so�many�great�teams�and�so�many�greatcoaches,�we�don’t�take�it�for�granted.”

Alyssa D’Errico (Junior Libero)On Destinee Hooker on the attack...“She�attacks�from�such�a�high�contact�point�and�the�trajectory�of�it�is�something�sim-ilar�to�what�Megan�Hodge�has�in�practice.�Something�that�we�see�in�practice�but�isdifficult�for�any�defensive�player�to�dig.�She�has�a�variety�of�shots�and�was�mixing�itup�with�tips,�roll�shots,�hitting�both�sidelines�and�deep.�It’s�deUitely�something�that�isreally�tough�to�defend�when�she�can�hit�all�the�shots�and�she�has�such�great�visionfrom�a�high�contact�point.�Our�block�did�a�good�job�of�stepping�up�and�taking�awaysome�of�her�strong�shots�so�they�could�funnel�it�to�where�we�were�defensively.�atway,�Cathy�Quilico�and�I�were�in�the�right�spot�when�it�came�down�to�it.”

Alisha Glass (Senior Setter)On winning three straight championships andthe 102-match winning streak...“It’s�something�that�is�going�to�be�hard�to�describe.�It’s�something�that�you�lookback�on�and�just�look�and�think�it�is�amazing.�It�has�been�amazing�for�us�to�be�a�partof�it.�is�was�our�goal.�is�was�what�we�wanted�from�the�beginning�of�the�season.I�think�you�saw�that�in�the�match.�We�just�would�not�let�it�go,�so�we�are�really�happythat�we�came�out�here�and�got�what�we�wanted.”

Megan Hodge (Senior Outside Hitter)On the feeling after the final spike to win thematch...“Blacked�out.�I�was�asking�everyone�what�happened�on�the�last�play.�It�was�unbe-lievable,�I�think�we�have�done�a�lot�of�silly�things�through�the�year�as�a�team�and�didnot�step�up�the�way�we�should�have.�I�think�tonight�we�knew�that�the�one�thing�wewould�have�to�do�with�this�team�is�to�play�hard.”

On the style of play between her and Desti-nee Hooker...“Destinee�Hooker�played�a�great�match;�she�really�took�over�the�match�and�did�agreat�job�with�her�team.�I�guess�I�would�say�she�physically�controlled�the�match.�Peo-ple�want�to�make�that�comparison�between�us�and�I�think�her�athletic�ability�is�allworld.�You�don’t�see�anything�like�her�ability�every�day.�At�the�end�of�the�day,�it�tookour�team�to�play�tough�defense�with�strong�passing�to�win.”

“Losing in the finals

two years in a row

motivated me to

get it done. I knew I

couldn’t get those

back and I lived

with that every day.

Now I can live with

something else.”– Bonnie Bremner on

winning the 1999 NCAANational Championship

“The fact that it eluded us after being so

close the last two seasons made it sweet

to win. But I don’t think a National

Championship validates a program. We

run a good, clean program and that is

what I am most proud of.”– Head Coach Russ Rose on winning the 1999

National Championship

“There couldn’t be any better

way to end a senior year. There

couldn’t be a better way to

come home to State College.”– Lauren Cacciamani on winning the

1999 National Championship




HONOLULU -- In just one hour and 20minutes, the top-ranked Penn State women'svolleyball team erased memories of Zve gamelosses in the previous two title matches bysweeping Stanford for the Zrst NCAA volleyballnational championship in school history. eNittany Lions defeated the Cardinal 15-2, 15-10, 15-7 in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,252fans at the Stan Sheriff Center at the Universityof Hawaii.

"I think we set the stage for the win in the Zrstgame when we had 10 blocks," said head coachRuss Rose. "We had a great game plan and theplayers played with passion and enthusiasm rightout of the chute. I believe the players are theones that placed themselves in a position to getinto this situation and I thought they handledall the distractions that normally come in amatch like this as well as they possible could."

It was a perfect ending for the three seniorswho had started in the previous two titlematches. Each of the trio played one of their bestmatches of the year, including senior LaurenCacciamani who was named the Most Out-standing Player after pounding out a match-high20 kills with eight blocks. Also the 1999National Co-Player of the Year, she and the restof the team weren't about to fall behind by twogames again this year.

"We did get an opportunity to watch a lot ofZlm and we knew that we had to come out andjump on them," Cacciamani said. "We weregoing to try to go out there and dictate insteadof having them show us what was going to goon. We were planning on going out strong andwith a lot of Zght."

Seniors Bonnie Bremner and Carrie Schon-veld were also named to the NCAAChampionship All-Tournament team. Bremnerdished out 37 assists with four kills of her own.She also hit .333 with six digs and a pair ofblocks. Schonveld had nine kills to go with herteam-high 10 digs. e outside hitter hit .368on the night and also aided at the net with threeblocks (1 BS, 2 BA).

e Lions were banking on their previouschampionship experience and it Znally paid off.

"We played well and at times we wanted to keepthe ball in play and hope that they would makemistakes," Bremner said. "ey're a big teamthat's going to get a lot of kills, but we were alsoZguring they would make mistakes."

e Penn State blockers created a wall that theStanford hitters could not avoid. Fueled by Cac-ciamani's eight blocks, the Lions held theCardinal to a season-low -.008 hitting percent-age as 1999 Co-Player of the Year Kerri Walshzeroed out (11k-11e-33ta). ey also held 1999Freshman-of-the-Year Logan Tom to negativenumbers (7k-10e-31ta, -.097)

Redshirt-freshman Mishka Levy and sopho-more Katie Schumacher each added Zveblocks--both with one solo and four assisted.Each of the six players that rotated to the frontrow recorded at least one block as Penn Stateended the evening with 15 to Stanford's 10.5.

"We blocked incredibly well and withpatience," Rose said. "We blocked 10 balls andthey had nine hitting errors in addition to that(in the Zrst game), in my opinion they never gotinto a [ow and I think some of their youngerplayers weren't ready for that. We knew what wewanted to do and we recognized that a coupleof players were going to be able to get their kills.We had a game plan that we felt comfortableabout and believed would be successful."

Schumacher also added nine kills with threeeach from Levy and sophomore Amanda Rome.

e Lions only trailed during one part of thematch. Down 3-1 in game two, the Lions rolledoff three-consecutive points to resume the leadand never looked back the rest of the way. It wasthe Zrst time this season the Cardinal had beenswept.

e Lions end the season with a 36-1 markwith the only loss coming in the season openerto Florida on Aug. 27. It was a matter off pullingthings together to end the season on a high note.

"We didn't peak at the beginning of the sea-son, obviously," Cacciamani said. "We lost ourZrst match so we knew we wouldn't go unde-feated. We did a good job playing as a team. Weprogressed and got better as the season wore on.

e younger people improved and the olderpeople became better leaders and kept it togetheras well. So it was an uphill progression leadingtowards the end."

FINISHING ON TOPThe class of 1999 – Bonnie Brem-

ner, Lauren Cacciamani, KalnaMiller and Carrie Schonveld – hadbeen through it before, but theirfinal year had a different, even sto-rybook ending. After losing in theregionals finals as freshmen, thesefour followed up with a pair ofNCAA Semifinal appearances thatled to five-game losses in the titlematch. Those memories were allerased with a three-game sweep ofStanford for the first women’s volley-ball title in school history.What the seniors were a part of is

nothing short of incredible. Theyhelped Penn State to an amazing137-5 record with a share of two BigTen championships (1996 & 1997)before winning it outright in 1998and 1999. The quartet also com-piled a 77-3 mark (.963) in Big Tenmatches, including consecutive 20-0 seasons over the past two years.They made Penn State the firstschool in Big Ten history to win fourconsecutive crowns and never losta match at home.

HOMESWEET HOME

Talk about a home-court advan-tage – the four seniors never evenlost a match and dropped only ninegames in University Park.The 1999 senior class took the

court in Rec Hall 78 times in their fouryears and each time they left with awin – a large part of the reasonPenn State sits at second place inthe NCAA records for consecutivehome wins at 87.What’s even more amazing is the

manner in which Penn State haswon at home. During the seniors’last 62 matches in Rec Hall, only Wis-consin (twice) and Texas (twice)were able to take a game. But itgets better...in the 80 consecutivehome wins the class was a part of,72 of those were three-gamesweeps and the Lions never had toplay five games.




SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 15, 2007 - The No.1 Penn State women's volleyball team captured theprogram's second NCAA Championship, winninga dramatic five-game final, 3-2, against No. 4 Stan-ford in Arco Arena.

The Nittany Lions won the thriller, 30-25, 30-26, 23-20, 19-30, 15-8, posting their 26thconsecutive victory since a five-game loss to the Car-dinal exactly three months prior. Penn State finishedthe season with a superlative 34-2 record, bringingthe championship trophy back to Happy Valley tojoin the program's 1999 crown.

"We're awfully excited," stated Russ Rose, the2007 AVCA National Coach of the Year and Hallof Fame inductee earlier in the week. "We're thrilledfor our fans and everyone that cares about PennState."

"It's an amazing feeling," said junior outside hit-ter Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio). "This year'steam was so determined. After the fourth game wewere determined to get our focus back."

After taking a 2-0 lead, Penn State saw the top-seeded Stanford rally to tie the match, 2-2. The Cardinal took a 4-3 leadin the decisive Game 5, but the Nittany Lions scored seven consecutivepoints to take control at 10-4. Junior middle hitter Christa Harmotto(Aliquippa, Pa.) and sophomore setter Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) eachhad two kills during the critical run.

Kills by Fawcett and freshman middle hitter Arielle Wilson (Broadview,Ill.) pushed Penn State's lead to 13-7. A block by Wilson and freshmanopposite Blair Brown (Purcellville, Va.) made it 14-8. The Nittany Lionsimmediately seized the opportunity on their first match point, as sopho-more outside hitter Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) delivered her 26thkill of the match, setting off jubilation among the Nittany Lions.

Penn State won Game 1, 30-25. Stanford led 15-13, but the NittanyLions scored five consecutive points to take a 18-15 lead. The game wastied at 22-22, but Penn State took the lead for good on a service error bythe Cardinal and a kill by Harmotto. A block by Fawcett made it 29-24

and she delivered the game-winning kill for the 30-25 margin. Penn Statehit .263 in the opening game and Stanford hit .159.

The Nittany Lions captured Game 2, 30-26. Penn State took the leadfor good on a Fawcett kill to make it 13-12. Another Fawcett kill made it29-25 and a block by Glass and Harmotto gave the Lions the 30-26 winand a 2-0 lead. Penn State hit .525 in the game, while the Cardinal hit.357.

Stanford won Game 3, 30-23, snapping a streak of 17 consecutive win-ning games for the Nittany Lions in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. PennState took its last lead at 7-6 on a block by freshman middle hitter ArielleWilson, but the Cardinal took the lead for good at 9-8.

The Cardinals won Game 4, 30-19, to force the decisive fifth game.The national championship match was the fifth in program history for

the Nittany Lions, as they also advanced in 1993, 1997, 1998 and 1999,capturing the title in 1999. Penn State defeated Stanford (15-2, 15-10,

15-7) on Dec. 18, 1999 in Honolulu, Hawaii, to give the Lions theirfirst NCAA Championship.

The two teams met earlier in 2007 in New Haven, Conn., withStanford outlasting Penn State in five games (30-23, 23-30, 27-30,30-28, 15-9) on Sept. 15. The Nittany Lions had won 25 consecutivematches since the loss entering the title match, including a 20-0record in winning a fifth consecutive Big Ten Championship.

The NCAA Championship match featured eight 2007 AVCA All-Americans, including first teamers Fawcett, Hodge and Harmotto forPenn State and Bryn Kehoe, Foluke Akinradewo and Cynthia Bar-boza for Stanford. Penn State's Glass and Stanford's Alix Klinemanboth earned second team honors.

Stanford was playing less than 120 miles from Arco Arena, whilethe Nittany Lions traveled more than 2,300 miles to capture the pro-gram's second NCAA Championship.

LIONS RALLY TO DEFEAT STANFORD, 3-2,CAPTURE SECOND NCAA NATIONAL TITLE




NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP POST MATCH QUOTESOOppeenniinngg SSttaatteemmeenntt:: RRuussss RRoossee ((HHeeaadd CCooaacchh))"Well I thought the match had a couple of different matches in there. I thought thefirst couple of games had a pretty even level of play. I don't think it was the best levelthat either team could play but we gritted it out and played hard enough to get thosetwo games. In the next couple of games, as you would expect from a great team likeStanford, they kept fighting and we ran into a few passing problems and had somechallenges along the way, and I thought we lost our composure a little bit in thefourth game. But we hit .368 and lost and they hit .535 and had no hitting errors inthe fourth game, so it doesn't really make a difference who's on the other side of thenet when somebody hits .535. Going into the fifth game I felt we didn't have themomentum, but there was no reason to think we didn't have a chance, and that'swhat I said. I thought we took control, we had a few touches and it's all about con-verting at that time and I thought we did a good job of that. Alisha had two or threekills and we played hard at the time we needed to play hard. Certainly the people thatare up here tonight did a great job at some of the skills that we count on them to do.That's why they work hard. That was the goal. The goal was to be the national cham-pion and that's what we talked about and that's what we tried to do in putting thisteam together. To compete at the highest level. We won the match, we won thenational championship and talk to the players, they're the ones that did it."

OOnn tthhee ddiiffffeerreennccee iinn tthhee tteeaamm nnooww ffrroomm tthhee lloossss ttoo SSttaannffoorrdd iinn SSeepptteemmbbeerr"Earlier in the year it was Arie (Wilson's) first match that she started. We were up 2-1 and had opportunities in the fourth game to win the match. This evening we scoredtwo points more than the other team in total points so it was really a situation where,with rally scoring, there are ebbs and flows and you have to try to keep your headabout you when things are going bad. We didn't relax when we were up 2-0. Youdon't get here by having that as one of your traits. And Stanford being down 0-2, theywouldn't get here having a trait like that where they would give up. So when thingswere going bad we knew we still had a fifth game. We train hard and we believe thatwe have an opportunity against everyone we play. We play in a great conference wherewe play back-to-back nights against great teams and good crowds, so I don't thinkthe crowd was a factor. The opportunity was out there and we seized it."

OOnn tthhee rroottaattiioonn mmaattcchhuupp iinn GGaammee 55"Christa in the left front is good for us. I thought even in the fourth game where wewere struggling to hit .380, they couldn't stop her. So I wanted to go with that. Oneof our plans was to recognize the fact that Foluke is a great offensive player and wedidn't have any interest in saying ‘let's think about stopping her.' She could hit a killevery time but the goal is to win a national championship. That's not to say weignored her. We put two people on her on good passes in some situations, but in ashort game I think you want to feel comfortable with what you're doing. I thoughtwe had all the opportunities to sub the people we wanted and I think we just got goodtouches. We had some conversion opportunities and we got those. We could havepicked a certain lineup that might not have worked and tonight it worked. When weplayed Stanford last time we hit negative in the fifth game and tonight they hit neg-ative in the fifth game. So that might be just the difference that comes right out atme."

OOnn tthhee mmaattcchh bbeeiinngg aa vviirrttuuaall hhoommee ggaammee ffoorr SSttaannffoorrdd,, and on Penn State representing the rest of the country"I don't want to comment about the Pac-10 because I'm not an expert about thePac-10 and I don't feel I'm an expert on the Big Ten. There are a lot of great teamsand a lot of great players and great coaches around the country. There are a lot of peo-

ple that maybe don't feel that way, but I feel that way. I coach Penn State and I careabout Penn State and if Penn State's not in it I care about other Big Ten teams becauseI'm a loyal guy."

OOnn tthhee ddeecciissiioonn nnoott ttoo rreeddsshhiirrtt AArriieellllee WWiillssoonn"It sure makes me look like I was an idiot considering it right? I mean she hit what,.500, .600, .900 in one of the matches in the playoffs? But those things happenbecause other people allow it to happen. The staff works hard, the passing is good,Alisha continues to develop. And as Arielle said last weekend when she was MVP ofthe Regional, ‘I just hit over them.' That sums it up. She gets up, likes to hit and that'sthe beauty of what she does. She needs to learn a lot of other things about the game.But the rally score game is still a strange animal to me. We had conversations as a staffabout it. We had the same questions last year because I redshirted Blair Brown whenshe was my best blocker and we needed blocking at that position. And I think that'llprove to be a good decision. But Arielle plays great. She's fresh. I'm not surprisedabout any of the things she's doing and I hope she continues to get better. It provesto be a very good decision. When we were discussing it, I was going home and my12-year old son told me ‘you can't redshirt her,' so he broke the tie I guess."

And the timeswhen we were strong was when we were passing. When the team is passing well, it'sfun to watch and it's fun to run the offense and mix things up a little bit. I think wehad some streaks where we did struggle with passing a little bit but all in all I thinkwe did pass well, and that gives you the ability to do whatever you want as a setter."

We did and wewon so I think it was a collective effort from everyone; our bench, our fans, every-one understood that we wanted to get it done and it was nice that we could."

A TRIP TO THE WHITE HOUSE



OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 20, 2008 – e top-ranked Penn State women’s volleyball team capped a record-set-ting season for its second consecutive NCAA title Saturday night with athree-game win over No. 2 Stanford (25-20, 26-24, 25-23) at the QwestCenter in Omaha, Neb. e Nittany Lions Znish the 2008 campaign witha perfect 38-0 record, only the fourth team ever in Division I women’s vol-leyball history to Znish the season with an unblemished slate.

"I don't think it was the prettiest match to determine the national cham-pionship, but it was a match that was played very hard by both teams," saidPenn State head coach Russ Rose, the 2008 AVCA National Coach of theYear. "I thought we hung in there defensively and gave ourselves opportu-nities for a chance for Megan to take big swings at the end. I thought it wasa group effort in a lot of areas. It certainly wasn't a match that had the sameenergy from the match a couple of nights ago. at one had the signiZcanceto get us here. Tonight's has special signiZcance, especially for the seniors."

Stanford took the 3-0 lead to start the match, but a Harmotto and Brown-block along with two Harmotto kills helped pull Penn State within two at6-4. e Nittany Lions trailed for much of the game, but forced two Stan-ford timeouts to steal the momentum. PSU went on to win the game, 25-20,and senior Christa Harmotto led the way with Zve kills and two blocks .

Penn State jumped out to the early lead in game two and held on to takea 2-0 lead in the match. Penn State had a 12-9 advantage midway throughthe frame, but a Stanford kill and block again trimmed the Lion lead to oneat 12-11. e squads traded points before a Cardinal kill and block put Stan-ford up 14-13. Penn State kills from Blair Brown and Megan Hodge put theLions ahead 15-14 heading into the television timeout. Penn State main-tained the lead for the remainder of the set, but Stanford didn’t let the Lionsgo unchallenged. A Stanford kill and a Lion attack error tied the score 24-24 before kills from Nicole Fawcett and Hodge gave Penn State the game,26-24.

A monster Harmotto and Brown block gave the Nittany Lions the 3-1 leadin the third game, but Stanford tied the game at 3-3. e Lions controlledthe set until Stanford recorded three kills to pull within two at 23-21 forx-ing a Penn State timeout. Out of the break, the Cardinals recorded anotherkill trimming the lead to one, 23-22, but Hodge responded with a cross-court kill that clipped the line to make it 24-22. Stanford recorded a killbefore a Fawcett kill off the block ended the game, 25-23 giving the NittanyLions earned their third NCAA title.

Penn State becomes just the sixth team in history to win back-to-backNCAA Championships, joining Hawaii (1982-83), PaciZc (1985-86),UCLA (1990-91), Stanford (1996-97) and USC (2002-03).e NittanyLion volleyball programs also become only the third school to have its men’sand women’s programs capture their respective championships in the samecalendar year, as the Penn State men captured their championship in May.Penn State joins UCLA (1984) and Stanford (1997) as the only programs inhistory to accomplish the feat. Stanford (1996-97) and Penn State (2007-08)are the only two to win both titles in the same academic year.

e match featured nine 2008 AVCA All-Americans, with Penn State’sFawcett, Alisha Glass, Harmotto and Hodge and Stanford’s Alex Klineman,Cynthia Barboza and Foluke Akinradewo earning First Team honors andLions Brown and Arielle Wilson picking up Second Team accolades. econtest also showcased the last two AVCA National Players of the Year inFawcett (2008) and Akinradewo (2007).

Penn State Znished the season with a 114-2 individual game record andpushed its current NCAA-record match winning streak to 64 dating back toa Zve-game loss to 2008 NCAA runnerup Stanford on Sept. 15, 2007.

The 2008 National Championship match marked the firsttime in NCAA Tournament history that the same two teamshave met in the championship match two years in a row.

Opening Statement: Russ Rose (Head Coach)"First I want to congratulate Stanford on the great season they had. ankyou to the city of Omaha for supporting the event. I don't think it was theprettiest match to determine the national championship, but it was a matchthat was played very hard by both teams. I thought we hung in there defen-sively and gave ourselves opportunities for a chance for Megan to take bigswings at the end. I thought it was a group effort in a lot of areas. It cer-tainly wasn't a match that had the same energy from the match a couple ofnights ago. at one had the signiZcance to get us here. Tonight's has spe-cial signiZcance, especially for the seniors."

On floor defense not getting the credit it deserved"Certainly in comparing our statistics to other teams, it's always been a chal-lenge. For the year we're hitting close to .400. I think over the course of theseason, maybe out of the 38 matches we were outdug once the entire season.I think our defense was good, but certainly our bread and butter has beenthe offense and the net play and Alisha's ability to get a variety of hittersinvolved at the net. I think that has always been the strength of this team."

On the expectations on this year’s team"I think for people who coach they know that seasons end at a certain time,and you hope that your season ends on the last dig of the season with some-one making a great play. ere was certainly pressure placed on this teambecause of the number of people returning from last year's championshipteam, and the competitive level of volleyball we play in the Big Ten Confer-ence was challenging. Last weekend playing against a great Cal team inregionals was challenging. Certainly the match ursday night againstNebraska was an incredible match to participate in. From that standpointthere was relief. In this case there is a lot of happiness and excitement becausethey could look back. I told them all along all season long keep workinghard. ere will be a time to look back on it. Hopefully they'll look back andsay that they didn't leave anything left in the tank. Certainly on ursdaynight, there wasn't much left at the end."

Blair Brown (Sophomore Middle Hitter)On her role in tonight’s game"It's exciting, but I want to do my part for the team. If the team needs meto have a bigger role, I want to step up and do my part."

Nicole Fawcett (Senior Outside Hitter) On what was going through her head after hitting the ballon the last point"Going through my head was they better call the touch. At that point it didseem like an eternity, but Megan was already celebrating, so I thought wemust have gotten the point. It was good to see everyone rushing to the [oor."

Alisha Glass (Junior Setter)On special tactics or strategies used tonight"I think that Stanford has some great players. Foluke (Akinradewo) is anamazing athlete, as well as Cynthia (Barboza) and Alix (Klineman.) eydeZnitely had some players we needed to focus on that we needed to stop ortry to slow down. at was some of the team goals. en playing our owngame and trying to win the serve and pass game. ere are a lot of things wefocused on, but I think we tried to do those things especially."

Megan Hodge (Sophomore OutsideHitter)On the third game and whether she was determined not tohave a relapse of the match with Nebraska"As a team ursday night and even last year we let off a little in the thirdgame. It turned into a more competitive match going into Zve. We got it inour heads we had to get out there and play hard."

2009 Trip to Brazil


May 10Greetings from Sao Paulo!

Today was the first day we spent in Sao Paulo, and boy was it eventful! We began the dayenjoying a nice complimentary breakfast from the hotel and then all jumped into our awesometwo-story bus to head into town. We toured the very interesting and historical city of Sao Paulo withour wonderful tour guide Morris (at least I think that is how you spell his name =). He taught usmany, many things about the city and a few things stood out to me in the outing. First, Sao Paulospecifically is famous for its graffiti. The artists take much pride their artwork while creating com-petitions with other artists around the city to see who can create the most difficult piece of work.Second, if women around the city want to get married, they must pray to St. Anthony so that hewill help them find a husband. (As soon as I learned this, I held a small prayer session with a few ofmy teammates).

After several hours of touring the city, we stopped at the Estadio Municipa to buy tickets to theprofessional soccer game. The Corinthians, or the home team, is the professional team that Cris-tiano Ronaldo plays for, so we were all very excited to have the opportunity to see him play! Afterbuying our tickets, we took a quick trip down to a market place where we shopped for an houror so and then ate an incredible lunch. The food, as we have all discovered, is incredible and it is

so much fun to try all of these new dishes and experience all the newtastes (especially this drink they call Guarana, it is simply delicious!).

After lunch, we drove back to the stadium two hours before the gamestarted to enjoy the pregame festivities. In one corner of the stadium, theaway team was banging their drums and screaming their teams’anthem. In the other corner, and scattered all over the stadium, theCorinthian fans, dressed in black and white, were stomping and yelling atthe fans dressed in red and green. There were policia stationed all aroundthe fence separating us from the field to prevent any sort of fights thatmight erupt during the match if the game was to get close. It was one ofthe most invigorating and exciting things I've ever experienced. I knowthat we have some of the most dedicated fans in the country, but theway these fans supported their team was just incredible.

The game began and the screaming continued. The away teamscored the first goal, which completely infuriated all of the Corinthianfans. We weren't able to watch the entire game because after sitting inthe stands for four hours we all became incredibly hungry and exhausted.We drove to a local pizza parlor which turned out to be quite the adven-

ture. They brought many different types of pizza out for each of us to try, (it would take way toolong for me to try and list them all!) but by far the best part of the meal, were the three differentdessert pizzas they brought out at the end; one had bananas and this cinnamon spread on it,one had strawberries and dark chocolate and the last one had chocolate and shreddedcoconut. Absolutely delicious!!

Well we finally made it back to the hotel after an incredibly long day and it's time I get to bed!Boa Noite ~ Roberta Holehouse

May 11Today was our first day of playing

and I think everyone was anxious tosee the different style of play here.We started off the morning with thecomplimentary breakfast downstairsof the hotel where there were deli-cious pastries and fruit. We got on ourawesome, two story bus and took off

to practice. When we arrived at the practice facility, we were in awe ofits beauty. There were big beautiful trees everywhere surrounding this hugesports facility. But the first thing we all noticed was the gigantic water slidethat we all wanted to go down. When we got in to the gym where wepracticed, we all put on our shoes and kneepads and did our normalwarm up. While we were waiting for the balls to come, we did some block-ing and digging stuff. Then Coach had us circle up while Jess and Ticehad a pretty bad wrestling match....no one won. The balls finally arrived and we got to adapt to the balls that they use here.

After practice, we got to tour the facility. The facility used to be owned by a bank that sponsored teams but now is more of a countryclub. Lunch came after the tour and we went to a place where there was more meat, of course. It was a small buffet style with salad,sausage, fries, chicken and other things. They brought meat around the tables and everyone's drink of choice still seems to be Guarana.Right after lunch we went to our match.

We arrived at the facility and immediately started to warm up. We split the court with the team during hitting lines. The club team hadgirls from the ages of 17 to 21 and they were pretty athletic. We played four games with them and won all four. After we played, weexchanged t-shirts with them and then took a group picture.

This was another fun day filled with new experiences! ~ Cathy Quilico


2009 Trip to Brazil


May 12The morning started out at the hotel, with the usual compli-

mentary breakfast, in which many of us have becomeaccustomed to crapes (thin French style pancake). You caneither add delicious jelly type topping or chocolate, both teamfavorites. Everyone dressed in the casual Brazilian type attire ofshorts and tank tops ready for another adventurous day. Theplan for the afternoon was a tour of a different part of the city ofSao Paulo; also known as the shopping district, stop by a well-known park for lunch and a little walking around.

First of all, I must say, people down here drive CRAZY. Theydon’t use turn signals and just weave in and out of lanes, not tomention the motorcycles that just drive up the center of the lanerecklessly. It is an incredible sight to see, so forgive me if I forgetdifferent things about today, I got distracted watching the carsfly back and forth. So now to the good stuff, we started with atour of the scenery on the way to this famous shopping street.We drove around beautiful estates of once famous people, hos-pitals and gorgeous malls. Among the other sites we drove past,was the Sao Paulo futbol club, another soccer stadium of a pro team in Sao Paulo.

After all this driving we stopped at our first destination, the luxurious shopping strip where we recognized many names such as LaCoste,Adidas, Nike, Timberland, and Tommy Hilfiger. One name we did not recognize but were informed of prior to our adventure was the Hava-ianas, the most famous rubber flip-flops that originated from Brazil. Many of us bought pairs for family as well as friends and ourselves.Unfortunately as well as fortunately, we were limited to half an hour of wandering along this strip (saving many of us lots of Reais).The next stop was the beautiful park called Ibirapuera Park. It is four miles by four miles along the exterior borders and is full of green grass,

ponds, bridges and restaurants. Unfortunately we were as a whole pretty worn out and didn’t get the chance to explore more of the parkafter our delicious buffet style lunch. Clara (AD, our tour guide’s, seven year old niece) has been teaching us Portuguese in exchange for

English and sign language, thanks to Tice and Alisha. So of course, at lunch, we were asking the vocabu-lary queen about lettuce, ice cream and all other sorts of food on the table. After we finished lunch, (nocaffeine) Christa and I enjoyed a small (maybe a half cup) of the ever so popular café and well, we werebouncing off the walls with energy for a bit. After we left the outdoor restaurant we walked to a bridge thatoversaw a small pond with tons of fish in it (we were told were served them at the restaurant we ate at).We took pictures of the horizon behind us, which happened to be a cityscape of Sao Paulo. Shortly aftervisiting the near by bridge we walked to the bus and headed back to our hotel for a little nap before thematch ahead of us that night.

We left the hotel at 5 pm for our match that began at 7 pm. We arrived at the match SUPER early andproceeded to warm up for an hour and half (because it was a real match). As we all warmed up it wasvery strange to see a Penn State jersey on everyone for another match together. As the match started ina somewhat small gym at UniItalo, the fans packed it in and the noise was overpowering. The first gamewe came out a bit slow and went back and forth with the other team until we finally pulled out the close29-27 win. Did I mention we played by international rules so some things were different. For instance I could-n’t serve and no back row subs could enter more than once. We came out a bit stronger at the start ofthe second game and ended up winning 25-18.After the match we exchanged shirts with some of the UniItalo players and we then hopped on the bus,

took a short bus ride to another buffet style, meat serving restaurant, in which they bring the meat to thetable and you say nao obrigada or sim obrigada (no thank you or yes thank you). We met a magicianwho had the best card tricks I have ever seen; in fact I am still stunned.

Hope you enjoyed the day vicariously through me. ~ Nummy (Alyssa D’Errico)

May 13Today we woke up at 7:30 to play the semi-pro team, it was a mix of 18 to 25 years old women. We went 3-0 (25-23 25-21 25-23) and then

decided to play another game and lost 22-25. All and all we went 3-1 and they were a pretty good team. Once we finished playing, wewent straight to the mall to shop. It was a shopping ceter that was over four levels with about400 stores, many of us ate at McDonald's, Burger King and Pizza Hut, but a few of us venturedaway and ate the local food. I personally ate at Burger King; I needed a break. After spending4 hours in the mall we then traveled to the airport where we had to leave our awesome busdriver and amazing tour guide. We got to the airport a little earlier than expected because wewere all pooped from shopping that we showed up anhour early to leave the shopping center. We boarded theplane for Rio and it was a quick trip, like State College toPhilly. Once we landed we grabbed our bags and wereheaded to dinner. Once again it was buffet style, but I feellike we have all tried everything at this point so there was-n’t much pigging out. After dinner it was back to the hoteland a new twist on things, three people in a room, so it willbe interesting trying to get ready in the morning. Tonightwe are going out to talk with one on the Brazilian nationalplayers, Celine.~ Kelsey Ream


2009 Trip to Brazil


May 14After an amazing first night in Rio de Janeiro, we began our journey of sightseeing around 9:30

am. The first thing we did was visit to the largest metropolitan forest of them all. This forest is foundon Corco Vado, which is a huge mountain. On top of this mountain is a famous statue, whichstands 30 meters high, called The Christ Redeemer. The statue was built in 1931 and it overlooksthis gorgeous city. In order to get to this enormous statue we had to take a train up to the verytop of the mountain. The ride was not long but very relaxing. There were guys on the very first cartwho were playing music and dancing. They were doing it for money and because it was some-thing they seemed to enjoy doing.

When arrived to the top we got off the train and continued our journey toward The ChristRedeemer. If you decided to walk to the statue you had 250 flights of stairs to get there. But, ifyou waited in the long line for the elevator it would take you the 10 flights to get to the top. Mostof us decided to enjoy the experience and take the stairs. On the way up was the most amaz-ing view I and everyone else had seen since we arrived in Brazil. We were not only at the verytop of this huge mountain, but we were overlooking thebeautiful scenery of Rio de Janeiro. You better believe thattons of photos were taken of The Redeemer and of every-one¹s smiling faces.

After a breathtaking adventure at the top of this mountainwe headed back down by train and loaded the bus. Wewere headed to lunch at 12 pm and of course it was buffet-style eating. By 1:30 pm we were on our way back to the

lovely hotel. We got back to the hotel at about 2 pm and we all decided to make our way to the beach.We changed out of our clothes and were on our way to get some sun. The beachis directly in front of our hotel so we walked over as a group, set up our chairs andtowels and enjoyed the people, sun, and the pretty scenery. We ended up leavingaround 4 pm and headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.

Dinner began at 7 pm; we all cleaned up very nicely and loaded the bus. Wearrived at a pizza place, where they had all types of pizzas - shrimp, meat lovers,veggie, mushroom and Brazilian sausage. For dessert we had chocolate coveredwith strawberries, chocolate covered with M&M¹s, banana covered with cinnamonall laid on thin crust. As you can image dinner was very fulfilling!

After dinner, we attended this amazing Brazilian show, by the name of PlataForma. The show was interesting and entertaining. There was a lot of good Brazilianmusic and dancing by men and women. It reminded me of Las Vegas because ofhow colorful all the costumes were and boy did they sure know how to move!!!!~ Arielle Wilson

May 16It was a sad and rainy morning when we had to leave Rio. So far it was our favorite

city, and we weren’t sure it could get much better. We made the long bus trip toSaquarema. The bus was filled with sleepers and movie watchers. Jenna, our trainer,was on a mission to watch She’s The Man. For those of you that aren’t familiar with thismovie, it’s a youthful comedy where Amanda Bynes pretends to be her brother at hisnew school for two weeks while he’s away in London. She tries to prove herself as amen’s soccer player and falls for her roommate/teammate in the process. Needless tosay, Coach was not thrilled about the selection and running as punishment was men-tioned several times!

We sat down to a late lunch and then the afternoon was left to our own choice ofbeach exploring, relaxing in the courtyard, napping, or getting on the computer tokeep in touch with the rest of the world. I sit in my room which is located right next to the pool and entrance to the beach where I can hearwaves crashing and Brazilian music playing in the background, and I wonder how I could possibly feel more at ease. Moments like this

make you realize how much of an opportunity this whole trip is. A thank you goes out to everyone who’s hadtheir hand in making it possible because experiencing this country the way that we have, meeting the peoplewe’ve met, and sharing it with each other is something that we’ll never forget.

Next we traveled to the training center. There weren’t a lot of fans, but then again the gym wasn’t reallymade to hold people as much as it was made to be set up for practice and training. From hitting warm upsyou could tell that this team was an excitable bunch. They were young, fresh, and excited to finally be play-ing someone as opposed to training everyday. We squeaked out a win in game one not playing our best.Not playing our best turned to not playing well at all in the next two games. We would get small leads and amissed serve, errors on our part, or a really bad call to their advantage would allow them to catch up, take thelead, and win those games. We came back to win the fourth, not wanting to let them think we didn’t come toplay. A fifth and final game was played and we got down right off the bat just like in our Nebraska match. Wewere able to draw on that experience and make plays at the net and in the back-row to keep us in it. Weeventually fought back for the win.We headed back to our hotel for a night of dinner, enjoying each other’s company, and peaceful sleep. Sign-

ing off from Brazil…~Alisha Glass


2009 Trip to Brazil


May 19I’m going to start this off a little differently today and begin by thanking everyone

that made this trip possible. I cannot express the gratitude we feel in being able toexperience such a beautiful and kind culture that enables us to play the sport we loveand find great competition (and great people to play against). To be able to spendthis time with my teammates, coaches and members of the booster family onlyenhanced our adventures further and I could not have asked for a better group ofpeople to join me in this great experience. This trip has been the chance of a lifetime,unforgettable and unbelievable, truly a dream come true for allthose involved.

As gorgeous as Buzios was immediately, we only got a smalltaste of its beauty during our first night here. Today, we walked(everything is extremely convenient and in walking distance) tothe pier to take a boat tour around the islands surroundingBuzios. Within minutes of boarding the boat it was a crowd

favorite; the view was absolutely breathtaking in every direction. We continued to gasp at the sights of the mountainsin the background and bask in the sunlight until we hit the next island. Closer to land than the previous stop, wedecided to get a short workout in by swimming to the island. Five minutes later we all washed up on shore (alittle worse for the wear), took the island by storm and claimed it as our own with pictures as proof. A few ofthe girls also snorkeled and saw “tropical fish” in the shallows. Needless to say, once the boat returned to thepier we were all trying to convince the captain to “accidentally” miss his mark with the rope so we could goon another loop around Buzios.

For dinner, we all found another buffet with an excellent assortment of fresh meats, made to order pastas,salads, fruits and even pizza. We sufficiently stuffed ourselves until we were ready for another night of shop-ping downtown for different Brazilian knick knacks to bring back for our loved ones (no spoilers!). We alsofound a place that made the largest chocolate crepes I have ever seen and everyone gathered around totry them out. I would highly recommend a chocolate crepe from Buzios if you ever find yourself here.

Now, sitting in the hotel after a long night of wandering from shop to shop, the girls sit around on their computers talking to parents orfriends and challenge some of the coaches and boosters to card games. With only two days left in Brazil, everyone is starting to realize that

this dream of a vacation is actually coming to an end. The expe-riences we have had the blessing to be a part of are once in alifetime, and the opportunity to interact with such an incredibleculture and see a beautiful part of the world was unimaginable.We cannot thank you enough. ~ Blair Brown

May 20Today has been a very relaxing day. All of us girls woke up around 9:15

for breakfast and then left the hotel for the beach. On the way there, wegot easily distracted and stopped in several shops along the way. Then,we went to a beach that was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Itwas a small, nice beach with a few restaurants right on the the beach.After a couple hours of catching some rays we decided we better leaveto make it to lunch on time.

Tonight we ate our last pizza dinner. Pizza has been one of the favoritemeals here in Brazil, mainly because of the amazing desert pizzas theymake here. It was a great last dinner to have in Brazil.After dinner we all headed to one of our favorite places that makes deli-

cious crepes (as if we didn't already have enough desert). All of us ordereddifferent ones from banana and chocolate to ice cream and chocolate.This place is very fun because not only is there great dessert, but there is aDJ playing music, and there are ping pong tables and bean bags to sit inaround some tables. It seemed as though Penn State had taken over theplace because every where you looked, you would see someone from ourgroup. After that, everyone headed back to the hotel to hang out beforebed. This trip has been a dream come true. There have been many times dur-

ing this trip that I have talked with some of the girls and we discuss howlucky we are to have as much support as we have and been given anopportunity to broaden our horizons by experiencing another culture asbeautiful as Brazil's. I will never forget this trip and how much fun I havebeen able to have with all my best friends ~ Katie Kabbes

May 21The end of the trip has finally come! We all woke up

sporadically on Thursday and had a pretty laid back morning.It was very overcast, so most of us headed into downtown todo some last minute personal shopping, gift buying, and get-ting rid of any Brazilian money we had left burning holes in ourpockets. A few of us treated ourselves to manicures and pedi-cures, and Katie took the risk of getting her hair cut fromsomeone who didn’t speak a word of English (but don’t worry,it turned out great).

We met up for lunch at Boom, the same restaurant we atelunch at our first afternoon in Buzios. The food (and more impor-tantly the desserts) were just as fantastic as last time. After aquick lunch, we all headed back to the hotel to take a stab atpacking all of our new and old belongings up one last time.It was tough, but just about all of us managed to shove ourclothes and gifts into our suitcases (with the exception ofHeather’s rain stick and Jess’s hammock). After stuffing every-thing into the bus, we started our bumpy trip back to Rio.

For dinner, some of us experienced Bob’s Burgers for the firsttime, which is the burger chain created in Brazil by an Ameri-can in the absence of McDonald’s back in the early 1900’s.At the gate, we parted with Nestor, our faithful tour guide.Nestor was a great addition to the trip as well, and we allappreciated his help and his insight into the Brazilian culture.There was plenty of time to kick back in the airport terminalwhile we awaited our flight. Once we boarded the plane, itwas time to settle in and sleep our way back to the New YorkCity.

This was such an incredible experience for every one of us.I don’t think we can even begin to thank the Boosters andeveryone who helped make all of this possible.Nothing cancompare to the volleyball experience we got here and all thememorable times we had!~ Megan Shifflett


2005 Tour of Italy & Slovenia


May 10Dobrodosli ("welcome") to the Penn State Volleyball European tour 2005! Todaywas our first full day here and we have already done so much! Staying in the sce-nic city of Izola, we are pretty immersed in Slovenian culture. It's been drizzling a bitbut we are staying right on the harbor of the Adriatic coast in the Hotel Marinaand it is absolutely gorgeous. The brightly-colored buildings, green mountains andcrystal clear sea make everything seem sunny. There is not a whole lot of Englishspoken here, so we stick out a lil' bit. The people have been pretty nice for themost part though, and we've managed to learn a bit of Slovenian: please ="prosim", thank you = "hvala", how much = "koliko" and "bela kava brez koffeina" =decaff cafe latte... I've already used that one about 4 times. All the girls are hav-ing a great time. We practiced last night after we got in and then played our firstmatch today against a club team from Croatia. They were pretty young so wewon all 5 games easily. We travel to the capital city of LJubljana tomorrow to playanother match and see the sites. We will leave early in the morning to tour the cityand then play in the afternoon. Tim and Jo from BringItUSA have really planned outa great trip for us. All the girls are really excited and the parents and boosters arehaving a good time too... with a few exceptions. So far the Naylors lost their lug-gage and got locked out of their room, the Janias tried to use a $1USD in an ItalianCoke machine and then got their debit card chopped up in Izola, and Mrs. Holmtried to play matchmaker with the manager of a Slovenian pizzeria (which wouldbe alright if the service wasn't so sub-par). So, to sum up... everyone is over their jet-lag, we're loving Slovenia, and can't wait to get some more competition underour belts as we continue to travel the world!! Ciao!Kim Holm and the Penn State Women's Volleyball team

May 11Ciao! Greetings from Slovenia. We started off this morning with a Euro-pean breakfast at The Hotel Marina and then headed off to spendthe day in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Upon arrival, we went tothe tourist information center and got brochures of the entire city fol-lowed by a train ride to the medieval Ljubljana Castle. The castle is afine feature of the city and nowadays it is a popular tourist spot. Afterthe train ride back into the city square, we split up for a day of siteseeing and fun. Our next step was a bus ride to our match. We playedfive games against a team called Nova Gorica, winning four of thefive games. The match was very lively with a few face shots and a lotof cheering. The owner of the gym we played in also owned a restau-rant nearby and he invited us to enjoy his five course cuisine. The foodand atmosphere was amazing and the team, coaches, parents, andboosters all had a fabulous time. Tomorrow we leave Slovenia andare off to Venice, Italy. Maggie Case

May 12Today we finallywoke up to the blueskies of Slovenia,only to say goodbyeas we loaded thebus to continue onto Venice, Italy. Afterthe bus ride welaced up our sneak-ers, stole the nearest"Vaporetto" (amotorboat used asa canal bus inVenice) and racedto the city - it was allSam's idea! (Okay,so maybe the dra-matic entrance is aslight exaggeration,but you know how girls can be.) After we docked near Piazza San Marco, the realadventures began. We had the entire day to absorb the city, and that we did. Theseare some of the interesting things I learned today:

1.) Imagine literally stepping into a world unlike anything you have ever seen. Imag-ine walking through massive crowds of people all speaking different languages. Nowimagine seeing absolutely breathtaking architecture and scenery all around you. Andfinally, imagine 14 young American women (plus one Canadian) gracefully dodginghundreds of swooping pigeons while trying to take it all in at once. Thankfully, we allhave cat-like reflexes and nobody was seriously injured.

2.) It's true what they say - Italian men really aren't afraid to sweep a woman off herfeet! Maggie, Ashley Fidler, Melissa and I ate a delicious meal along the Grand Canaland as we were thanking the waiters and saying goodbye, the chef came frombehind the counter, pinched my cheeks and picked me up in the middle of therestaurant! I am 6-5 ... he was probably 5-7 ... you do the math! Today marks the firsttime any man has dared to accomplish what he did. Sorprendente! (Amazing!)

On a more serious note, today was a perfect example of why we are so thankfulto be in Italy doing what we love, and we are thankful to be sharing it with some ofthe people who helped make it possible. We were all able to see Venice through ourown eyes and learned a lot about the culture and history. We split up into differentgroups and spent the day shopping and exploring all the city has to offer. It was abeautiful day in Venice, but there is still work to be done! We left the sinking city behindand drove to Pordenone, where we will play the local team tomorrow night. Kim andKaleena have been playing very well, so tomorrow will be a good opportunity forsome new faces to step up and contribute! We will keep you posted, but until nexttime, there is volleyball to be played and more dessert to be eaten! CIAO!Cassy Salyer


2005 Tour of Italy & Slovenia


May 13Boun Giorno fellow Americanos (Good morning fellow Americans!). We spentday 6 in Pordenone. After breakfast most of us enjoyed the downtown shop-ping of the city. This city was most like the cities that we are used to in theUnited States. There are more cars and traffic here then in the previous placeswe have been. Small boutiques lined the streets with an occasional depart-ment store. In the afternoon we ventured to the Villa Manin, which is a palaceof the former Doge. The enormous structure and beautiful architecture wereoverwhelming. Unique art lined the walls of one of the sections of the castle,while other sections displayed old weaponry and carriages. The chapel wasdetailed in elegant artwork. We did not have the opportunity to view theactual rooms of the castle because of restoration, but we were told thatNapoleon had slept there and that his room was preserved. From the castle wecame back to the hotel to enjoy the traditional Italian pregame meal, whichwas actually breakfast. This included cereal, fruit, yogurt, and various pastries.On the way to the gym our tour guides indulged us with the translations of alocal newspaper article that was about the team being in the town. The arti-cle was informative and contained a picture of us receiving our Big Ten trophy.The match was held at a nearby town owned gym. We won four out of the fivegames that we played against Pallavolo Pordenone in front of a very livelycrowd. The match was the most the competitive one since we have been hereand was fun to play in. After we played, we ate dinner (at 10:30 at night). It iscustom to eat pasta as an appetizer, but we did not know this before so mostof us ate it as a meal. Little did we know that we were also having meat, fries,salad, and dessert! It was a great ending to a wonderful day! Arrivederci(goodbye)!!Kaleena Walters & Tabitha EshlemanMay 14Ciao fellow Americans and Canadians,

Well, our arrival into Pesaro came on our official graduation day, had webeen in State College. So, as our final college project, here is our journalentry! On the bus yesterday, driving from Pordenone to Pesaro, we had topresent our research on the Marche region to everyone on the bus, com-plete with our graduation caps!

We are planning on spending 3 days total in this region, the first two inPesaro, and the third in Comunanza. The region is pronounced "lay markay,"and in English, it translates to "the Marches." The region lies on the easternseaboard in central Italy, bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the east, and theAppenine mountains to the central part of the country. Pesaro is the capitalcity of this province, and is a bustling seaside resort town. Fortunately, we'rehere before most of the tourist season begins, so we've had the town all toourselves!

When we arrived to our beachfront hotel yesterday, we all ate lunchtogether, before we had a bit of down time last night. A few of us had theopportunity to accompany Coach Rose and Tim Kelly (in charge of our tour,he runs Bring It USA) to a professional women's volleyball match in a smalltown about 1.5 hours away from here. The gymnasium was full of enthusias-tic and loud spectators, and it was a lot of fun! It was a match between the2nd and 3rd place teams in the A2 division of the Italian professional league,with the winner of this match having the opportunity to move up to the A1league next year. Wiz Bachman, former UCLA standout, was playing for theteam that ended up losing in four games.

Today we had some free time to take in the sites of Pesaro, which is thehometown of famed opera composer, Giaochino Rossini. This evening wehad a chance to play our fourth match, against a team from Gabiche, Italy,about 15 minutes from Pesaro. We won the four games we played in thematch, and every member of the team had a chance to play.

Tomorrow we'll have a chance to go to an Italian Catholic mass if wewant, before getting back on the road and heading over to Comunanza.From what we've heard so far, it's a small mountain town, about 3 blocks longand 1 block wide. We'll be there only one night, and the gentleman who runsthe hotel/restaurant where we'll be staying is so excited to host all of us! Peo-ple drive from miles around to eat at his restaurant, so we're looking forwardto tasting the food for ourselves!! We have two matches left on this trip, onetomorrow night in Comunanza, and the last in Rome on Tuesday night.Buonas sera from Italy!Ashley Pederson & Syndie Nadeau

May 17After winding through the Italian hillsides, our team arrived in the town of

Comunanza. The town was small with a population of around 3,000 people.We stayed where executives generally stayed when they would visit the majorfactory just outside of the town. It was very nice place to stay as five of the girlsgot to stay in a 3-bedroom apartment that had two bathrooms and a diningroom. Once we got settled in our rooms the team got on our jerseys andwalked to the gym. We played a club team from Amandola. Their team wasshort a few players so Ashley Fidler volunteered to play with the other team.We won the match in 3 games, while Kris Brown and Kaleena even got achance to play front row. That night we had what most of the team consideredour best meal of the trip. It was a traditional Italian family meal with multiplecourses and elaborate dishes. One of the first dishes we ate was intestine andeggs. It was a long meal the lasted late into the night.

The next morning we were off to begin our long drive to Rome. We wovethrough the mountains and hills on roads that you wouldn't think buses couldtravel through. After nearly a five-hour trip we finally arrived in Rome, the 'eter-nal city.' We checked into the hotel and were immediately off to the Metrostation just a few blocks away. The Metro is very small and crowded becausethe designers of the Metro wanted to avoid digging railways under ancientRoman architecture. Our first stop took us to see the Spanish Steps, which wasa series of three levels of steps leading up to a church. The lining of the stepswas covered in flowers and it was a great place to take a team picture. Ournext stop was the Trevi Fountain. This was the first elaborate sculpture work wesaw in Rome and we were in awe. It is said that you must throw a coin into thefountain but you must throw the coin with your back facing the fountain. Thenumber of coins you throw also determines your fortune. One coin and you'llreturn to Rome, two coins and you'll fall in love. With our backs facing the foun-tain, Maggie, Cassy, Fidler, and I threw in two coins each.

Our last stop of the day was to visit the Pantheon. As we walked inside wewere amazed by the massive pillars holding the structure up. They lead us intoa large circular dome with more sculptures and a roof with a giant circular holeallowing sunlight to pour inside. The basement of the building is also a restingplace for people such as Raffaello a famous painter, Voltaire a philosopher,Murrie and Piere Currie both famous scientists as well as Victor Hugo the firstpresident of unified Italy. After seeing the Pantheon we were all tired andgrabbed some dinner, found the Metro and went back to our hotel.

Today (Tuesday, May 17th) we got up and again took the Metro to see theColiseum. I stepped out of the station and all I could see was the building. Thestructure was built between 12AD and 80AD and most of it still remains stand-ing today. When it was first built it was called the Amphitheatre Flavium, andheld up to 50,000 people. It was used to hold battles between animals andhumans along with chariot races and mock naval battles.. The rest of the daywe were able to tour around and explore the city of Rome. Other sites we sawincluded the Forum, the Arch of Constantine, and the Monument of Vittoriale.All of the sites were unique and amazing in their own respect. It was odd to seesuch monuments scattered amongst current shops and restaurants includingMcDonalds.

Tonight we played our 6th and final match in a town of Usaro, which is thirtyminutes to an hour away from Rome depending on traffic. We played one ofour more competitive matches against a club team called As Fidia Ladispoli.We won all five games although it was a bittersweet victory. It was the last timeour three seniors; Tab, Syndie and Ashley would play in their PSU uniforms. Theclub team had ordered pizza for us and we shared it with them before gettingon the bus and heading back toRome.

Tomorrow is our last full day. Weare going to see the Vatican Cityin the morning and the Pope maybe speaking. The trip is almost overand it is going very fast but I'm veryexcited to get up tomorrow andsee the Sistine Chapel.Melissa Walbridge

PENN STATE 2010-2011


Director of Athletics Tim Curley


Well into his second decade as the architect of the Penn StateIntercollegiate Athletics program, Tim Curley’s dynamic and pas-sionate leadership has been the driving force behind the NittanyLions’ tremendous level of athletic and academic achievement.

Named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, Curley’sleadership has positioned Penn State among the nation’s premierathletic departments. During the Nittany Lions’ 17 full years asmembers of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 19NCAA Championships, more than double the next closest BigTen schools.

Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 61 Big Ten titles andnumerous individual national and conference crowns during his16-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive and nation-ally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won eight NCAAChampionships since March 2007.

During the 2009 fall semester, the women’s volleyball teamwon an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship,rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas, 3-2, in an epic titlematch. Penn State won its seventh consecutive outright Big Tencrown and extended its winning streak to 102 matches, the sec-ond-longest streak by any team in NCAA Division I history.

The football team won 11 games for the 15th time under JoePaterno and won its fourth bowl game in the past five years. Thewomen’s soccer team captured its 12th consecutive Big TenChampionship, tying the longest string of Big Ten women’s titlesall-time in any sport. The women’s cross country team won the2009 Big Ten title, the program’s first, and the women’s indoortrack and field team captured the 2010 crown.

In the spring of 2010, the fencing team won its 10th NCAAChampionship under Curley’s watch. The women’s track and fieldteam captured its third consecutive Big Ten outdoor title, for the“Triple Crown,” giving Penn State five league titles in 2009-10.

Nineteen squads were represented in their respective NCAAChampionships or a bowl game in 2009-10.

Include the 44 All-Americans and 40 first-team All-Big Tenselections (48 total first-team all-conference honorees), a record-tying student-athlete Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent and10 Academic All-Americans and 2009-10 was another tremen-dous year of Success With Honor for the Nittany Lions.

A 1976 Penn State graduate, Curley’s dedicated and enthusi-astic leadership has helped Penn State capture 24 Big Tenchampionships or tournament titles the past five years, the sec-ond-highest total in the conference.

In 2008-09, the women’s volleyball team captured its second con-secutive NCAA title, earning a 38-0 record, and its sixth consecutiveoutright Big Ten Championship. The football team won its secondconference title in four years and played in the 2009 Rose Bowl.The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National Invita-tion Tournament championship, posting a program-record 27victories, and the fencing team won another NCAA Champi-onship.

In 2007-08, Penn State became just the second school inNCAA history to have both volleyball teams win the nationalchampionship in the same academic year.

During the fall 2005 semester, Penn State won an unprece-dented five Big Ten Championships - in field hockey, football,men’s soccer, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball — becom-ing the first institution to win more than three titles in the fallseason in Big Ten history. Nittany Lion teams compiled an incred-ible 49-1 record against Big Ten competition in the fall.

In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts inhelping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s pre-mier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast AthleticDirector-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just fourregional Division I-A honorees and also earned it in 2003.

As he surveys the athletic program he has been instrumental inassembling over the past 34 years, Tim Curley can’t help but beproud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of PennState’s 750 student-athletes in 29 varsity sports:

• During a visit to the University Park campus, late NCAAPresident Myles Brand stated, “Penn State is the poster child fordoing it right in college sports.”

• In the initial 17 years of the NACDA Directors’ Cup all-sports survey, Penn State has finished in the Top 25 every year,earning seven Top 10 finishes, with 12 placings in the Top 15.The Lions finished No. 11 in 2009-10 and are one of only 10programs nationwide to have finished in the Top 25 every year.

• In the most recent comprehensive look at the 117 colleges anduniversities participating in Division I football and men’s basketball,U.S. News and World Report selected Penn State as one of 10 Divi-sion I-A institutions for its College Sports Honor Roll. Data ongender equity, number of varsity sports, graduation rates, sanctions,and wins and losses were analyzed to determine the listing.

• Penn State has captured 19 NCAA Championships in men’sand women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gym-nastics during Curley’s tenure. Nittany and Lady Lion teams havemade 31 NCAA “Final Four” appearances during his tenure.

• Penn State also has established itself as a force in the highlycompetitive Big Ten - winning 65 regular-season or tournamenttitles in football, baseball, women’s basketball, field hockey, men’sgymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s & women’s swim-ming & diving, women’s indoor & outdoor track & field andcross country, and women’s volleyball. The Lions won a school-record six titles in 2005-06, a mark they matched in 2008-09.

• In November 2009, the NCAA reported that Penn State stu-dent-athletes earned a school-record tying 89 percent GraduationSuccess Rate, 10 points higher than the national Division I-Aaverage. Twenty-three of Penn State’s 25 teams compiled a GSRat or above the national average of 79 percent or higher (trackand field and cross country count as one sport).

Twenty-one Penn State squads earned a GSR higher than thenational average for their sport, according to the NCAA.

The NCAA also reported in 2009 that Penn State student-ath-letes registered a four-year federal graduation rate of 82 percent,significantly above the 63 percent national average. Penn State’sGSR and four-year federal graduation rates were second-highestin the Big Ten to Northwestern.

• The 2009 NCAA report also showed that Penn State’sAfrican-American student-athletes earned a four-year federal 78percent graduation rate, 25 points higher than the 53 percentDivision I national average.

Of the Penn State student-athletes in the NCAA studies from1993-94 through 2002-03 who exhausted their eligibility, 96 per-cent left with their diplomas.

• In June 2010, the NCAA reported that 12 Penn State teamsearned a perfect Academic Progress Rate score of 1,000 in 2008-09 and that 24 teams had a four-year APR score at or above theDivision I average for their respective sport.

• During the 2009 fall semester, 189 Penn State student-ath-letes compiled a 3.50 grade-point average or higher to gain Dean’sList recognition (minimum of 12 credits). A total of 415 student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or above, representing 58 percent ofactive student-athletes during the fall semester.

• In 2009-10, 235 Penn State student-athletes received AcademicAll-Big Ten honors. Over the past 16 years, Penn State leads all BigTen institutions with 3,547 all-academic honorees.

• A total of 10 student-athletes earned ESPN The Maga-zine/CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2009-10 on theheels of a school-record 11 the year prior. Penn State has 160 suchselections all-time, with 112 in the last 16-plus years under Cur-ley’s leadership, a figure higher than any other Big Ten school’sall-time total, since the program began in 1952.

To continue to give the coaching staff and student-athletes theresources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley hasguided the most ambitious fund-raising and athletics facilitiescampaigns in the department’s history. The “For The Future”Campaign entered the public phase in April 2010 and will con-clude in 2014. More than $128 million was raised forIntercollegiate Athletics through June 2008 to easily surpass theSuccess With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million.

The Athletics physical plant has improved substantially underCurley’s watch. The Nittany Lion Softball Park, golf clubhouse,soccer practice fields and men’s and women’s basketball offices areamong projects recently completed or under construction.

The most recently completed capital project was a new baseballstadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State baseballteam shares the state-of-the-art facility with a short-season minorleague team — the State College Spikes. Curley played a significantrole in developing the unique partnership for the construction ofthe 5,406-seat stadium, which opened in June 2006.

The 12,500-seat expansion and renovation of Beaver Stadiumwas completed in 2001, raising the capacity to 107,282. The proj-ect included private suite and club level seating previouslyunavailable and creation of the Penn State All-Sports Museum tohouse the University’s impressive collection of sports memorabilia.

Other facility projects completed in the past decade include theLasch Football Building, Ashenfelter Indoor Multi-Sport Facilityand Sarni Tennis Center and renovations to the White Building,East Area Locker Room, Jeffrey Field and a field hockey facility.

Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport pro-grams — which included a fourth consecutive nationalchampionship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and women’s rugbynational titles in 2004, ‘09 and ‘10 — on the University Parkcampus, as well as general recreational activities. He’s charged aswell with responsibility for the athletic and recreational programsat Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses.

It is a dizzying pace for Curley, who is a regular presence atathletic events, team banquets, alumni meetings and regional andnational meetings of athletic administrators.

Curley served as president of the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. He was thefirst Penn State Athletic Director to serve as president ofNACDA, which is a professional and educational association formore than 6,100 athletic administrators at more than 1,600 insti-tutions in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Elected a NACDA officer in 2002, Curley is a recent member of theNCAA Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) and the Boardof Directors of the Honda Collegiate Women Sports Awards. He alsois on the Boards of Visitors for Penn State’s John Curley Center forSports Journalism and the advisory board for the Center for SportsBusiness and Research in The Smeal College of Business.

Curley also was appointed to a special NCAA task force thatreviewed Division I recruiting bylaws and to the NCAA DivisionI Football Issues Committee, a group which he chaired. He pre-viously was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and served as chair of the NCAA Postsea-son Bowl Certification Sub-Committee.

It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone who knowsthe Penn State athletic program from the ground up. A State Col-lege product, he grew up across the street from New Beaver Fieldwhere some of his most memorable days as a youngster were spentthere and in Rec Hall. He parked cars, sold game programs andserved as a baseball batboy.

The top assistant to Athletic Director Jim Tarman, Curley wasnamed Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, when Tar-man retired after 35 years as a Penn State athletic administrator.

Curley, 56, has been a full-time member of the athletic staffsince he joined the department as a graduate assistant footballcoach. A product of State College Area High School where heplayed basketball and football for Jim Williams’ undefeated 1971team, Curley walked on as a football player only to have his careercut short by injuries. After earning his bachelor’s degree in healthand physical education in 1976, he was a graduate assistant coachwhile pursuing his master’s degree in counselor education.

Curley was named the Lions’ first full-time football recruitingcoordinator in 1978 and was instrumental in identifying and recruit-ing a number of members of the 1982 national championship team.In 1981, he was named assistant to the athletic director where he wasinvolved with the day-to-day operations of the department.

Curley was active in the development of the Academic SupportCenter for Student-Athletes; the Penn State Sports Medicine Cen-ter; the Varsity “S” Club and the Football Letterman’s Club duringhis tenure as assistant to the athletic director. He also was instru-mental in putting in place Penn State’s first NCAA complianceprogram and acted as the department’s compliance coordinator forfive years before surrendering those responsibilities when he wasnamed Associate Athletic Director in 1992.

He is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa.,who earned degrees from Penn State in 1977 and 1986. The Curleyshave two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner.


The University


Since admitting its first students in 1859, PennState has awarded some 642,000 degrees whose valueis recognized worldwide. That value reflects an edu-cational experience second to none in quality andrichness. In addition, Penn State alumni — there aremore than 285,000 in Pennsylvania alone — havejob- and social-networking opportunities that noother college or university in the Commonwealth cansurpass.

The University’s beginnings were humble. Char-tered as a college of scientific agriculture, theinstitution was located in rural Centre County afterJames Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace ironworks (remains of which can be seen today along EastCollege Avenue), agreed to donate 200 acres of farm-land for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted Penn Stateto embody a new approach to higher education thatblended traditional studies with subjects that had prac-tical value. He joined similar visionaries in other statesin convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-GrantAct in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of fed-eral land to sell; the proceeds would support collegesthat agreed to include engineering, science, and the lib-eral arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies.In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated PennState the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution,thus bestowing on the privately incorporated college awide range of public functions and obligations thatcontinue to this day.

Initial efforts to diversify the curriculum met withmixed success, but by the 1890s Penn State was mak-ing its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largestundergraduate engineering schools, a distinction itstill holds. President George Atherton invigorated theliberal arts, and recruited Professor of English FredPattee to teach the nation’s first course in Americanliterature, heretofore considered an unworthystepchild of English literature. Professor of Agricul-ture Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on usingfertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact oncrop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the firstland-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women,graduated its first international student in 1890, andits first African-American student in 1905.

In the early 1900s, Penn State launched an exten-sive system of outreach education, “carrying the collegeto the people,” as then-President Edwin Sparks liked tosay. It established the nation’s first collegiate-level cor-respondence courses in agriculture, and in 1912 helpedcreate a statewide system of county agents in agricultureand home economics. Today’s Penn State World Cam-pus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through theInternet, is descended from that strong outreach tradi-tion.

But undergraduate education remained fore-most. As enrollment surpassed 5,000 students in1936, Penn State became Pennsylvania’s largest sourceof baccalaureate degrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of undergraduate centers was created for

students who, in the depths of the Great Depression,could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a col-lege education. The centers offered the first year ofbaccalaureate studies and were the predecessors oftoday’s system of 19 primarily undergraduate cam-puses located throughout the Commonwealth.

Following the Second World War, Penn Stateunderwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet theneeds of returning military veterans and later toaccommodate the Baby Boom generation. Totalenrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to40,000 by 1970.

The University also emerged on the nationalscene as a research powerhouse. Research — a land-grant obligation — first garnered internationalattention in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics,psychology, and petroleum refining. As world-renowned faculty encouraged greater studentparticipation in research and creative activities, PennState was able to provide an enriched undergraduateexperience unavailable at the state-owned universities.

Annual research expenditures now exceed $765million and help to make Penn State the largest sin-gle non-governmental contributor to Pennsylvania’seconomy. The University generates about $8.5 billionin total economic impact each year.

Today, as measured by the more than 100,000applications for admissions it receives annually, PennState is America’s most popular university. Enrollmentis spread across the University Park campus, theresearch and administrative hub; 19 undergraduatecampuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey MedicalCenter, including the College of Medicine; the Penn-sylvania College of Technology; the Penn StateDickinson School of Law, Carlisle campus; the PennState Great Valley School of Graduate ProfessionalStudies; and the Penn State World Campus.
