A spacious, state-of-the-art building, Harry A. Gampel Pavilion opened in January of 1990 and totals more than 171,000 square feet in the domed area while an additional 39,000 square feet comprise the attached Wolff-Zackin Natatorium (including a 50-meter

Olympic size swimming pool). The complex was a $28 million project and measures 320 feet in diameter in the circular domed arena area. The bril-liant aluminum dome of the Gampel Pavilion towers more than 130 feet in the air from ground level. Following the 2009 season of volleyball, new scoreboards and video boards were installed, replacing the old boards which were installed in the Fall of 2000. The state-of-the-art video board displays were manufactured by Light-house Technologies and are approximately 12 and half feet by 23 feet each, more than two times the size of the former video boards. Each video board carries a pixel pitch of 10mm and contains 270,000 total pixels, drastically enhancing the overall resolution. In addition to the main scoring and video board displays in each endzone, additional statistical information will be provided on separate dis-plays, including individual and team statistics.

Message boards were also installed in each of the four corners of Gampel just above the concourse, providing new message center locations to display information to fans. These displays are approximately 7 feet by 20 feet each. The "Alumni Court" main arena floor is con-structed with the latest version of spring aire wood. During the summer of 1996, the original capacity of Gampel Pavilion (8,241) was increased with addi-tional seating placed above each of the four entrance quadrants of the structure. That placed the capacity at 10,027, however, renovations to the lower level end-zones during the summer and fall of 2002 have added another 140 seats. The current capacity of Gampel Pavilion is 10,167, making the building the largest on-campus arena in New England. In the past 16 seasons, the Connecticut women's vol-leyball team has compiled an overall record of 163-51 since beginning play in 1993 in Gampel Pavilion. Dur-ing the 1993, 1994 and 1995 seasons, the Huskies split time between Gampel Pavilion and the Hugh S. Greer Field House. The 1996 season marked the first year that Connecticut volleyball played all its home matches in Gampel Pavilion.

Last year, UConn was an even 5-5 on its home court after losing a mere two games on its home court in 2008. The Huskies captured the 2008 UConn Toyota Classic Title and placed second last season. UConn is set to host Brown, Hartford and Southern Illinois for the 2010 edition of its an-nual tournament at Gampel. Connecticut will play at least 12 matches in front of a home crowd at Gampel Pavilion this year, including BIG EAST matches against Villanova, Louisville, Cincinnati, St. John's, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Georgetown and South Florida. The team looks to extend its dominance on its home court as the Huskies have enjoyed a .739 (54-19) winning percentage at Gampel in the past six seasons.

Holly Strauss-O’Brien is the sixth head coach in the 32-year history of Connecticut volleyball and is entering her sixth sea-son at the helm. In the past four seasons, Strauss-O’Brien has transformed UConn volleyball into a competitive program in the challenging BIG EAST Conference and has led the team to four-straight BIG EAST Tournament berths. Under the direction of Strauss-O'Brien, Rebecca Murray was selected to the BIG EAST Second-Team. Although Murray's honor was the first of her career it was the second-consecutive such honor for a student-athlete under Strauss-O'Brien's tutelage. Murray was the offensive leader on the 2009 squad that finished the season

with 14-17 overall record. An even 7-7 record in the conference led the team to the BIG EAST Tournament, letting the senior class graduate with four-consecutive post-season appearances. Strauss-O’Brien’s 2008 squad finished the year with a 21-11 overall record whilst compiling a 10-4 BIG EAST mark for the most conference victories since the program captured a share of the regular season championship title in 1998. The double-digit win effort also gave the team the No. 4 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament for its third-straight postseason appearance and highest seeding under Strauss-O'Brien's direction. In 2007, the Huskies reached the BIG EAST Tournament, finishing the regular sea-son in a three-way tie for sixth place with an identical record from a year before. The 2006 squad finished the year with a 19-11 overall record and 8-6 mark in conference play earning a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2002. That squad fell to a highly tal-ented Louisville pro-gram in four sets as the seventh seed. The Huskies have posted a 88-61 overall record with Strauss-O'Brien at the helm, including a 40-30 BIG EAST mark. With a .590 winning-percentage over five years, she holds the fourth-highest such mark in program-history. The leadership Strauss-O’Brien pos-sesses extends far

beyond the court, as 19 team members have earned Director of Athletics Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll status and 14 have been named BIG EAST Academic All-Stars for their achievements in the classroom. "The program is rapidly laying down the foundation for future success on the court and in the classroom," said Strauss-O'Brien. "Our program is full of change...an exciting change." The 2008 season marked the highest season winning-percentage of Strauss-O'Brien's career, leading the team to its first 20-or-more win season since the 2003 season. She was acknowledged by her peers as one of the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s (AVCA) "30 Under 30 Award" recipients in 2008. In its inau-

gural year, the AVCA award recognized 30 up-and-coming volleyball coaches at all levels of the sport. Including Murray following the 2009 season, eight student-athletes have received All-BIG EAST first or second team honors with Strauss-O’Brien at the helm, while Annie Luhrsen became the first major conference award winner since 1995 as the BIG EAST Freshman of the Year in 2008. Luhrsen, along with Chauntay Mickens, earned spots on the conference first and second team, respectively. Sadé Chambers and Luhrsen marked the first time in program history that UConn stu-dent-athletes have been named to the first team in consecutive seasons since a back-to-back effort in 1998 and 1999. At least one member of the Huskies volleyball team has been named to the second team in each season during Strauss-O’Brien’s tenure as head coach. Jenny Neelands was named to the second team in 2005, followed by consecu-tive seasons for Bridget Denson-Dorman in 2006 and 2007. Mickens earned her first post season BIG EAST honor with a spot on the second team in 2008 followed by Murray last year. Murray was acknowledged as the team's Offensive Player of the Year for the second-consecutive season after sharing the honors in 2008 with Mickens. Strauss-O'Brien will rely upon the experience of Murray throughout her senior campaign this year as the middle hitter continues to climb

the charts in the Connecticut record books. For the second-consecutive season, volleyball boasted UConn Club honor-ees with 2010 graduate and four-year starting libero, Jessica Isaac, named an Outstanding Senior Scholar Athlete. Isaac, who is the career leader in digs at UConn, was a four-time BIG EAST All-Academic selection and the second-consecutive schol-ar athlete from the volleyball program. Two of three 2009 graduates were honored by the UConn Club as Outstanding Senior Scholar Athletes with Megan Frey and Kate Seabaugh concluding their col-legiate careers with the academic honors. Seabaugh completed her business admin-istration degree in three years and is a graduate student at Cornell University. Strauss-O’Brien began her mentorship at UConn as an assistant coach with the Huskies prior to being named the head coach in 2005. As a graduate assistant during the 2003 season, she helped the team to a 20-12 record, a six-match improvement from the previous season, before Strauss-O’Brien became the pro-gram’s full-time assistant at the start of the 2004 campaign. She was appointed as the interim head coach midway through the 2004 season. The team responded to Strauss-O’Brien’s guidance by winning six of seven matches under her leadership. The 2004 team concluded the season with a 17-11 record, posting a 6-4 mark in BIG EAST play.

"Coach Strauss-O'Brien is one of the best young coaches in volleyball and has resurrected the UConn program with vision, energy, commitment and passion," said Associate Athletic Director and Program Administrator Vaughn Williams. “There is no doubt that this program is headed in the right direction.” Prior to Strauss-O’Brien’s arrival in Storrs, she served as a coach for the Triangle Volleyball Club 17s in Durham, N.C. where she led the team to a Regional Championship title. Strauss-O’Brien enjoyed an illustrious playing career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she helped put together a 115-22 (.839) record in her four seasons with the team. In that span, the Tar Heels went 32-4 in 2002 with a trip to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in addition to three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament titles and a pair of ACC regu-lar season crowns. Strauss-O’Brien was a two-time team captain and remains UNC’s career-leader in blocks per game (1.24 bbg), totaling 311 block assists to place her second on the all-time career list. In addition, Strauss-O'Brien posted the fifth-best single-season total with 36 solo blocks in 2001. She has twice etched her name on the season block assist record list with 128 in 2001 (fourth) and 24 in 2000 (fifth). She graduated from North Carolina with a bachelor’s degree in psychology

before receiving her master’s degree in kinesiology, sport management and sociology of sport at UConn in 2005. A native of Hamilton, Ontario, Strauss-O’Brien gained international playing experience as a member of the Canadian Junior National Team from 1996-98, making the All-Star team at the Cuba Invitational. She and Tim O’Brien were mar-ried on May 24, 2008 and they reside in Vernon, Conn.

Tim O’Brien returns to UConn volley-ball for his sixth season with the program and his third as the Associate Head Coach. O’Brien is the recruiting coordinator for the program, where he continues to make a direct and immediate impact on the pro-gram, bringing in outstanding student-ath-letes who continue to raise the competitive level of the team. The 2010 class will undoubtedly con-tinue a tradition of newcomers leaving their mark on the season after the first three recruiting classes have had a direct part in the Huskies' reaching the post season. With the guidance of O'Brien, Connecticut's Annie Luhrsen was named the 2008 BIG EAST Freshman of the year, marking the fourth-consecutive setter to receive an award from the conference. Luhrsen became the first major award winner for the Huskies since 1995 and was also selected to the all-conference first team, marking the fourth-consecutive season that a UConn setter has been selected to the All-BIG EAST First or Second Team. Bridget Denson-Dorman was named following both the 2006 and 2007 season while Jenny Neelands started the trend in 2005 with a spot on the All-BIG EAST Second Team. Each of his recruiting classes made an immediate impact with the first two, in 2006 and 2007, leading the Huskies to their first BIG EAST Tournament berth in four years. The 2009 class helped to continue that tradition with Samantha Arriaran continuing a tradition of strong setters and Mattison Quayle stepping in as one of the team's strongest attackers. There is little doubt that the 2010 rookie class will do anything other than raise the bar and increase UConn's presence in the BIG EAST.

In addition to the individual accolades student-athletes have received over the past five years, the team's consistent presence in the BIG EAST Tournament show the integral role O'Brien possess with the Connecticut volleyball program. O'Brien is active in organizing the offense as a technical trainer and teacher. He also works on editing video and analyz-ing statistics using the Data Volley program. "Tim immediately impacted our pro-gram when he came here four years ago," said Strauss-O'Brien. "He is an excellent recruiter, trainer and teacher of the game. Tim's successful volleyball background com-bined with his commitment and dedication to the University of Connecticut creates an influential force daily as we strive to achieve our aspired vision of UConn volley-ball." Prior to his arrival in Storrs, O'Brien spent three years at Loyola University in Chicago. As the head women's volleyball coach, O'Brien led Loyola to the NCAA Tournament. Prior to his promotion to head coach, he spent two seasons as an assistant with the women's program and then one as the head coach of the men's program. He guided the Ramblers to a 22-9 overall record, capturing the Horizon League Tournament title in 2004 to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. Under the direction of O'Brien, Loyola posted an impressive 67-28 (.705) record over his three-year tenure. He was instrumental in tutoring six differ-ent Loyola All-Horizon League players, one, Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and the school's first All-American since 1991. While at the helm of the Rambler's men's volleyball program in 2003, O'Brien achieved a 19-8 overall record. The squad came within one win of a berth to the NCAA Semifinals and finished 11th in the final national rankings. A 1999 graduate of Springfield, O'Brien began his coaching career at his alma mater as an assistant for two sea-sons. In those two years, the Pride posted a 57-20 (.740) record, including a 31-7

mark in 2001 en route to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship. O'Brien was a volunteer assistant coach for the Springfield men's volleyball team which won its second-consecutive Division III National Championship in the spring of 2002. At Springfield, O’Brien had a decorat-ed four-year career as a middle blocker/outside hitter. As a freshman, O’Brien was part of the Pride squad that claimed the No. 1 ranking in the final USA Today/Mizuno Division III Coaches’ Poll. He helped Springfield capture the Inaugural Molten Division III National Title as a sophomore, serving as team captain during the 1998 and 1999 seasons. A native of New Bedford, Mass., O’Brien graduated from Springfield College with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training in 1999 and received his master’s in athletic administration from Springfield in 2002. O’Brien and Holly Strauss-O’Brien were married May 24, 2008 and now reside in Vernon, Conn.

In his fourth season as the volleyball program administrator, Vaughn Williams has been an integral part of the program’s rebuilding mission and competitive drive. Williams, an Associate Director of Athletics, oversees the management of 11 athletic facilities at Connecticut as well as the event management services for all 24 varsity sports. He is the home game administra-tor for all football and men’s basketball games, as well as the program administra-tor for volleyball and baseball. During his tenure, Williams has over-seen the completion of The Burton Family

Football Complex and adjoining Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building on the UConn cam-pus. While at Boston College from 1998 to 2004 as an Assistant Athletic Director of Operations and Facilities, he led the event management responsibilities for football, men’s and women’s basketball, ice hockey, soccer, as well as volleyball, field hockey, baseball, softball and lacrosse. Williams spent two years at the University of Toledo as an Associate Athletic Director fulfilling the duties as the department’s Chief Financial Officer after spending four years with the University of Utah. While at Utah, Williams gained experience as the Assistant Director of Finance before assuming the role of Director in 1994.

A 1992 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Williams earned his bach-elor of science in sports management. In 2002, Williams obtained his master of arts in administrative studies from Boston College. He is a member of the BIG EAST Football Sportsmanship Committee, as well as an active member in several on campus committees at Connecticut. He is an active member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and has participated in the Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Institute twice during his career. Williams resides in Tolland, Conn. with his wife Eileen, son Aidan and twins, daughter Lacey and son Austin.

A former standout libero at Springfield College, Eddie Stawinski returns to the Uni-versity of Connecticut for his third season as an assistant with the volleyball program. "Eddie brings great balance, patience, energy and experience into our program," head coach Holly Strauss-O'Brien said. "His impact will be evident this season with our overall passing consistency and defensive mentality." Stawinski joined the coaching staff in 2008 after spending two seasons as an assistant coach with the men’s volleyball program at Springfield. He handled the

instruction of the team’s blocking strategies as well as opponent scouting and recruiting. Stawinski joined the coaching staff of his alma mater after a solid playing career with the Ramblers where he led Springfield to a pair of Division III National Champion-ship titles and was selected as a Division III First Team All-American in 2003-04 and 2004-05. He is the career record holder in digs (787) and digs per game (2.56) for the Springfield men’s program. In addition to Stawinski’s coaching experience at Springfield, he was the head coach for the East Longmeadow junior var-sity girls’ volleyball team and assisted with the varsity program as well. A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Stawinski received a bachelor's degree in business management in 2005 and a mas-ter's degree in physical education in 2008, both from Springfield College. He currently resides in Springfield, Mass.

2010 season oUtlook

The goals of the 2010 Connecticut volleyball team are to move beyond the accomplishments of four-consecutive BIG EAST Tournament berths and achieve a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Behind the return of eight letterwinners, a core of student-athletes whose contributions continue to lift the program to new heights, there is little doubt sur-rounding the dedication of this group of Huskies. "With a solid core of returning players, we have to be consistent in living and executing our standards and expectations everyday," head coach Holly Strauss-O'Brien said. "When our goal is to try to do our best, when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort- instead of numbers on the scoreboard- we will put ourselves in a winning position." In addition to a wealth of returning talent, those donning blue and white for the first time will be immediately relied upon to provide a spark in the gym. The four new members are set to add greater balance to the attack and provide valuable minutes throughout their respective rookie campaigns. Seniors Lauren Lamberti and Rebecca Murray will lead the tran-sition of old and new players through the 2010 season. Due to a back injury, Lamberti will continue to contribute to the program from the sidelines while Murray looks to continue to lead the Huskies from the floor in her final season. "Berti has been an offensive contributor for us throughout her career," Strauss-O'Brien said. "Unfortunately, she will no longer be able to get those kills for us this season. However, we do look for Berti to contribute to the team through her role as a student assis-tant." Murray, an All-BIG EAST Second Team Honoree in 2009, is coming off the best statistical season of her career. Her powerful presence on the court will be invalu-able as the Huskies look to fill gaps left by graduation. A stronger, more experienced team will take the floor in the fall after using a successful spring season to heal, learn and grow together as a group. With expectations and goals set high, the 2010 Huskies will need to hit the ground running to compete against a series of strong competitors both non-conference and in the BIG EAST.

middle Hitters Murray will mentor a youthful group of middle blockers and hitters while spending time on the outside in her senior season. Sophomore Cayla Broadwater and junior Allison Nickel will lead freshmen Colby Billhardt, Morgan Freeman and Jackie Wattles in the transition of playing at the collegiate level. Among the program's most successful blockers, Murray has a 0.94 block per set career average entering her final season. She totaled 115 in 2009, leading the Huskies in that category for the second-consecutive season. Broadwater stepped onto the floor for 20 matches while Nickel made significant leaps in her sophomore season, recording 89 kills and 69 blocks in 2009. Her experience will be instrumental to Connecticut's middle transition game. "Allie has a great volleyball IQ. She brings great court awareness to the floor and a calm intensity," Strauss-O'Brien said. "This season,

we need Allie to be a terminator." Broadwater will undoubtedly compete for more playing time with the experience and a solid spring season where she focused on pre-paring herself for the demands of BIG EAST volleyball. "Cayla made significant advancements in the weight room this past spring and on the volleyball court," Strauss-O'Brien said. "She has become a versatile attacker both in the middle and on the right pin. We look for Cayla to be a major terminator for us this season." While a wealth of experience in the middle is key, youthful exu-berance and willingness to learn and adapt, will certainly be part of the Huskies game this season. Both Billhardt and Freeman will challenge for playing time imme-diately upon arrival in Harry A. Gampel Pavilion with each bringing everything to the court. The lone native of Connecticut on the roster, Billhardt arrives in Storrs with high expectations as she is quite used to winning. She helped Darien to four-consecutive state championship titles and was a two-time All-Connecticut and All-Fairfield County herself. "Colby is a physical and athletic player," Strauss-O'Brien said.

"Her passion for the game and pride to be a UConn Husky is conta-gious to those around her." Freeman is also used to winning, playing an instrumental part in Cape Henry's back-to-back sweeps of regular season, confer-ence and state championship titles. A native of Virginia Beach, Va., Freeman captured the 2009 Division II State and TCIS Conference Player of Year honors. "Morgan is a dynamic athlete who can block and terminate, Strauss-O'Brien said. "Her physicality and talent combined with her athletic pedigree will allow her to immediately raise the level in the gym." Wattles, an All-Texas 3A Honorable Mention and two-time All-District First Team Selection, rounds out the newcomers to the middle positions. She was selected to the Stateman's All-Central Texas Team in her final season and looks to transition effortlessly to the collegiate level.

"Jackie is a physical middle who exudes toughness and relentless work ethic," Strauss-O'Brien said. "She is selfless, drives and hits a heavy ball."

Outside/Right Side Hitters Arguably the spot on the court where Connecticut possesses the most amount of both depth and experience, a trio of student-athletes will lead the Huskies' outside hitters through the 2010 campaign. With All-BIG EAST Second Team honors in tow, Murray will see significant time on the outside and will use a career 2.51 kill per set average to her advantage. "Becca has invested her heart, sweat, and tears into this program since her freshman year," Strauss-O'Brien. "She has developed a great overall game throughout the past few years and is hungry to take this program to a place it has never gone before, NCAA tourna-ment. Her versatility, playing experience, and leadership will be an integral part of our team's success this year." That overall game, led to a career-best three double-doubles throughout the 2009 season and a 1.36 dig per set clip. Jordan Kirk had a few double-double efforts of her own as a sophomore. Behind a wealth of playing experience, totaling 239 sets, Kirk will strive to maintain her post as a dependable offensive threat. "Jordan has become a more physical and cerebral player," Strauss-O'Brien said. "We believe her experience could help take us to the next level. We need Jordan to be consistently aggressive and relentless everyday."

Last season's Most Improved Player of the Year, Mattison Quayle returns to the Huskies for her second season after a spring-season torn meniscus has completely healed. Quayle made an immediate impact as a rookie, averaging 2.23 kills per set while contributing 1.59 digs per set. She made 30 starts, playing in all 31 games. “We are excited to see Matti healthy again and put her match experience to use this season," Strauss-O'Brien said. "She has devel-oped a solid overall game and we need her versatility as an attack-er, athleticism and persistent energy to help us battle our opponents." One of the Top 20 Canadian Prospects will take the floor as a rookie with Connecticut and compete for time on the floor as an outside hitter. Julia Hamer hails from the north where she was the 2009 Halton Female All-Star of the Year and placed fourth with the National Team in the Challenge Cup and in the 2008 Junior Olympics. "Julia is personality, determination and a lot of heart and that is evident in her style of play and her great potential," Strauss-O'Brien said.

setters Keeley Abram returns for her second season with the Huskies as both a setter and defensive specialist. Abram saw time at both play-ing positions a year ago and may see time at both again. "As a setter, Keeley delivers a smooth ball and has a good feel for the game," Strauss-O'Brien said. Angela Roidt, a transfer from Youngstown State University where she earned a spot on the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team, will direct the Connecticut offense. "Roidt leads through her work ethic and passion to compete," Strauss-O'Brien said. "Angie's athleticism combined with her instincts make her a reliable and steady setter for us this season." Her reliable play saw her average 9.78 assists per set at Youngstown and post an assist average that ranked 11th on the all-time list.

Defensive Specialist/Libero Expectations are high for Kelsey Maving with the graduation of Connecticut's career leader in digs, Jessica Isaac, the libero position is Maving's to control. "I think Kelsey is eager and ready to compete again. Kelsey is a tenacious and fiery competitor," Strauss-O'Brien said. "She will con-trol our serve receive and defense this season in the libero position. I believe Maves has the ability to be one of the best libero’s in the conference. We need Kelsey to stay healthy and take on a greater leadership role for us this season." Hampered by a knee injury for much of her rookie season, Maving averaged just under three digs per set as a defensive spe-cialist. She led the Huskies in digs for the first four matches of the sea-son, including a season-high 33 against UC Irvine. Maving's ability to lead and dictate the pace of play will be invaluable elements to the Connecticut defense in 2010. Abram will also be an important element at defensive specialist, as she will compete for playing time here as well, bringing an invalu-able playing experience to the court. "In addition to her setting, she is an asset from the service line, a steady defensive specialist and will compete for both of those posi-tions," Strauss-O'Brien said.

2009 SEASON REVIEW

For the fourth-consecutive season, the University of Connecticut volleyball team earned a berth in the BIG EAST Tournament after concluding the season with an even 7-7 mark in conference play. Rebecca Murray was named to the All-BIG EAST Second-Team for the first time in her career and extended the Huskies’ streak of post-season accolades. There has been a UConn player on the second-team for the past five seasons, making Murray the sixth student-athlete selected to either the first or second team with head coach Holly Strauss O’Brien at the helm of the program. Murray paced the Huskies with a 2.65 kill per set average and increased her presence among the UConn attack averaging over three-kills per set (3.02) in BIG EAST play. She also led the team with 115 total blocks, including a team-best 25 solo stops. Murray was productive from the service line as well, contributing a team-best 36 aces. An all-court player, Murray averaged 1.39 digs per set and recorded three double-doubles throughout the 2009 campaign. Joining her among the team’s leading attackers were Chauntay Mickens, Jordan Kirk and then-freshman Mattison Quayle. Each averaged above two-kills per set and were sig-nificant contributors to one of the most balanced attacks in the BIG EAST conference. Both Mickens and Murray finished the year with above .200 hitting-percentages in an offense directed by Samantha Arriaran. In her first season with the team, Arriaran averaged 9.06 assists per set while remaining a defensive option, averaging two-digs per set at season’s end. She recorded 10 double-doubles in her first season with the Huskies. In addition to her gritty defensive

work, she aided the offense with 29 service aces. Jessica Isaac maintained her defensive mindset in her final season as the team’s starting libero. She averaged 4.14 digs per set overall and was among the conference leaders with 5.31 digs per set in BIG EAST play. Just past the midway point of the sea-son, Isaac became the all-time career leader in digs surpassing the 1,000 dig plateau against Rhode Island at the Boston College Tournament in mid-November. Isaac concluded her four-year career with 2,064 digs, recording double-figures in digs in 26 of 31 matches as a senior. She was acknowledged as the team’s Defensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player of the Year at the team banquet in April. Although Isaac’s presence on the back row will be missed, Kelsey Maving had a rookie season that certainly laid the ground-work for a stellar sophomore campaign. Maving served as a defense specialist and posted a career-high of 33 digs early in the season. She averaged just under three digs (2.92) when the Huskies' season ended in a quarterfinal loss to Cincinnati in the BIG EAST Tournament. As the No. 7 seed, Connecticut denied the Bearcats a sweep in its 3-1 win over the Huskies. It was the first time the Huskies had won a set since their first trip to the BIG EAST Tournament during Strauss-O’Brien’s tenure. The bitter end to UConn’s 2009 campaign stays with the nine returners for the upcoming season. The road that led the team to its fourth-consecutive BIG EAST Tournament was a tumultuous one, starting the season on the west coast at the Nevada Marriott Courtyard/Fairfield Invitational. In three of the four matches played in late August to start the sea-son, the Huskies faced 2008 NCAA Tournament participants as well as squads ranked among the American Volleyball Coaches’ Associations’ Preseason Top 25. Twice the Huskies forced five-sets in losses to Nevada and UC Irvine. UConn opened the season with a 3-1 loss to St. Mary’s (Calif.) and ended the three-day tournament with a three-set loss at the hands of California. Although the results were not there, the Huskies played solidly and Murray was awarded a spot on the all-tournament team. After the west coast trip, the Huskies hosted their own UConn Toyota Classic, welcoming New Hampshire, Texas Christian and Long Island to Harry A. Gampel Pavilion. Isaac and Kirk both earned all-tournament honors at the end of the weekend, helping UConn to a second place finish after losing a five-set decision to TCU. Kirk set career-highs in kills with 20 against the Wildcats and digs with 15 against the Horned Frogs in the Classic finale. Isaac was second among the tournament field, averaging 4.75 digs per match while Arriaran paced all with 10 assists per match. UConn lost just a single set entering the final match, winning in three sets over Long Island and in four against New Hampshire. A break in tournament action led the Huskies to a 3-2 vic-tory over Ivy League foe Harvard led by a double-double from Kirk. She recorded 12 kills and 13 digs against the Crimson while Allison Nickel contributed a then-career-high in kills with nine.

2009 SEASON REVIEW

Murray had 10 block assists in the game while it was Mickens who led the offense with 15 kills. The Huskies went 2-1 at the Dayton Flyer Tournament, open-ing the trip to Ohio with a three-set loss to the hosts before bouncing back with a pair of wins on Sept. 12. UConn defeated

Creighton in five-sets and took Samford down in four. Mickens and Quayle garnered spots on the all-tournament team after Quayle led UConn in kills in both wins. UConn hosted its final non-conference opponent in a midweek tilt against Northeastern, battling to a 3-2 victory over the other Huskies. Arriaran contributed her fifth double-

double with a 43-assist and 18-dig effort at Gampel. Devon Farrell recorded four of her six total kills in the final set to aid the Huskies in the win. Isaac provided a highlight in a difficult trip to nearby Chestnut Hill, Mass. for the Boston College Tournament. The Huskies defeated Hartford, 3-1 in the final match of the tournament, fall-ing to Boston College and Rhode Island prior to earning the win over the Hawks. In a three-set loss to Rhode Island, Isaac became the program leader in career-digs after totaling 12 against the Rams. Kirk was the lone Husky to receive a spot on the all-tourna-

ment team before the squad returned to open BIG EAST action at Gampel. Following a 3-1 loss to Notre Dame to mark the start of con-ference action, the Huskies bounced back to win four-straight. They swept both DePaul at home and Georgetown on the road with a five-set comeback victory at South Florida in between. Quayle notched the first double-double of her career adding 14 kills to a then career-high 19 digs in Tampa. Arriaran recorded a double-double of her own with 44 assists and 12 digs while Murray pitched in 12 kills in the win. UConn split the following weekend at home with a win over Marquette in four prior to falling by the same margin to Syracuse. That loss resulted in a bit of a down turn in the Huskies’ season as they lost to Villanova and Fairfield on the road before winning 3-2 at St. John’s near the end of October. The team recorded 11 service aces in the win over the Red Storm, giving UConn its first win over St. John’s since the 2004 season. Arriaran’s eighth overall and fourth double-double in BIG EAST fueled a balanced Husky offense that saw seven UConn players record six or more kills at Carnesca Arena. Despite the momentum of another five-set victory, the Huskies fell in the next two BIG EAST matches, including a three-set loss to Pittsburgh on Senior Day. Wins in New Jersey over Rutgers and Seton Hall were instrumental in achieving a BIG EAST Tournament berth. UConn, as the seventh seed would return to Louisville less than a week after fall-ing to Cincinnati and the Cardinals in the final road trip of the 2009 season. The underclassmen of the 2009 team look to adequately fill the gaps left by the loss of three significant contributors in Farrell, Isaac and Mickens as the Huskies look ahead to their fifth-consecutive BIG EAST Tournament in 2010.

UConn’s doUble ThoUsands

Only six players in the history of Connecticut volleyball have collected both 1,000 kills and

1,000 digs during their Husky careers, including two members of the class of 1998. Kim Lobach was the first to accomplish such a feat when she collected 1,189 kills and 1,332 digs from 1990-93. Jennifer Halusek became the second member of the elite group after just three seasons at UConn, and upon finishing her four-year career, she totaled 1,165 kills and 1,393 digs from 1993-96. Heather Sokol joined the group in 1996, finishing a stellar career with 1,005 kills and 1,729 digs from 1993-96. Annette Rynn (1995-98) became the fourth Husky to reach the milestone, accomplishing the feat as a junior in 1997, and recorded 1,508 kills and 1,722 digs by graduation. Jenelle Koester (1995-98) became UConn’s all-time career kills leader as a junior, finishing her collegiate career with a total of 1,724, and joined this elite group when she completed her senior season with an even 1,000 digs. Most recently, Jamie Hadenfeldt (2001-04) joined the list her senior season, totaling 1,357 kills and 1,399 digs.

The University of Connecticut is com-mitted to each of its student-athletes as a total person. Participation in athlet-ics is important, but it represents only one aspect of an individual’s college experience. At the

University of Connecticut, academic achievement is a prime concern. Impressively, for the past five years, the Connecticut student-athlete aca-demic retention rate has been 99.0 percent. The University’s commitment to the student-athlete is a dual one. Athletic participation is not viewed as an obstacle to the attainment of one’s educational goals, rather it is seen as a complimentary activity. Each supports the other. Athletic excellence is stressed, but academic achievement is never compromised - indeed, it is given the utmost priority. For this reason, the University recognizes the need for a support program for intercol-legiate athletes. The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) assists the ath-letes in achieving their academic goals. The CPIA staff serves as liaison to the academic faculty and to the Division of Athletics. CPIA was established in 1986 to provide comprehensive academic support to all UConn student-athletes. CPIA’s staff includes a direc-tor, eight full-time counselors, three graduate assistants and a large complement of tutors. The program boasts its own Macintosh/IBM writing lab with access to the Internet, as well as refer-ence tools in the Homer Babbidge Library. Writing tutors are available each week-night in the CPIA office. CPIA also provides laptop computers for team use during travel to away games. Individual tutors in all subjects are readily available to student-athletes upon request.

The Department of Sports Medicine in the University of Connecticut Division of athletics works as an integrated mul-tidisciplinary team whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe environment for each of UConn's intercollegiate

student-athletes to train and participate in their respective sports. The staff takes great pride in the individual attention paid to each student-athlete. The sports medicine staff is devoted to preventing injury, rapidly diagnosing and treat-ing injury and maximizing athletic performance. The disciplines of athletic training, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, orthopedic sports medicine, optometry, nutrition, exercise physiol-ogy and psychology work in concert to provide comprehensive care for the student-athlete. Physician coverage is led by Dr. Jeffrey Anderson, the Director of Sports Medicine and Team Physician, Dr. Thomas Trojian. The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include: Dr. Michael Joyce of the Orthopedic Sports Specialists in Glastonbury; Dr. Robert Arciero, Dr. Thomas DeBerardino, and Dr. Augustus Mazzocca of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington. The Department of Sports Medicine works intimately with the Departments of Kinesiology and Nutritional Sciences on the University of Connecticut campus. This working relationship affords the student-athletes with the input of several nationally recognized exercise scientists. This cooperation also keeps the sports medicine staff on the cutting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports nutri-tion. Members of the sports medicine staff are actively engaged in research that directly ben-efits the care of each student-athlete. The UConn Sports Medicine team is housed in state-of-the-art facilities in the Hugh S. Greer Field House and the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, as well as a new and expanded sports medicine treatment center located in the UConn Football Facilities Building. The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut administers to the daily needs of 650 male and female intercol-legiate student-athletes, who are a part of 24 different varsity programs.

Strength & Conditioning The Strength and Conditioning staff, under the direction of Jerry Martin, provides services for all 24 of the University of Connecticut's intercollegiate sports. UConn volleyball players have the use of two different weight rooms in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and Hugh S. Greer Field House. In all, there are over 8,000 square feet of weight training facilities available to all UConn athletes. The weight room in Gampel is a free weight facility and supplies the team areas in which to perform their power and Olympic lifts. The facility in the Greer Field House is fitted with more free weights so that the UConn play-ers can incorporate circuit training, speed train-ing and heavy negative workouts into their total strength program. Each program can be manipulated in order to fulfill the specific needs of the indi-vidual athlete. Specific testing is done to each student-athlete to monitor progress in strength, power, body composition, anaerobic condition-ing and flexibility. These tests provide coaches and the medical staff with an accurate athletic program of each player.

The 2010-11 academic year will be the 32nd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2009-10 year was no different. Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Award as the nation’s top female student-athlete. She also was named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American of the Year for women’s basketball. Moore was the fifth BIG EAST women’s student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Award. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its second straight national championship and its seventh overall crown. The Villanova women’s cross country team also won the NCAA title. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup for the second straight year. The Syracuse women’s lacrosse squad reached the Final Four. On the men’s side, West Virginia’s basketball team became the BIG EAST’s 16th team to reach the NCAA Final Four and won the conference’s academic achievement award. The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA champion-ship game. Individually, three BIG EAST student-athletes won NCAA titles. Cincinnati’s Josh Schneider won the 50 freestyle in men’s swimming. In track, Louisville’s D’Ana McCarty repeated as the NCAA indoor winner in the weight throw. Louisville’s Matt Hughes won the 3,000 steeplechase. Another Cardinal, Austen Childs, was the national runner-up in men’s tennis singles. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Cincinnati won its second straight league championship in 2009 and compiled an undefeated regular season. The Bearcats finished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record. Rutgers, one of the bowl winners, also was recognized for having the nation’s highest NCAA APR rating, which measures academic success. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who are at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2009-10, 22 BIG EAST players from 10 schools were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams. Over 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began compet-ing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 28 national championships in six different sports and 128 student-athletes have won individual national titles. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 12 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 11 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport cham-pionships. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employ-ee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST had one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair and continued to steer the conference on its path of success. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in atten-dance for the past seven years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 575 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals.The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.
