SCOUTING ALABAMA• Alabama returns eight letterwinners from last season, including five starters, while

welcoming eight newcomers to the roster.• Alabama returns both of its AVCA All-Region honorees from last season in redshirt

senior Krystal Rivers and junior Kat Hutson. The honor was Hutson’s second accolade in as many seasons and Rivers’ third, making Rivers the first three-time All-Region honoree in Alabama volleyball history. This was the third straight season in which the Crimson Tide has had multiple All-Region award winners. Prior to 2013, Alabama had never posted multiple All-Region honorees in a single season.

• Ed Allen returns for his sixth season at the helm of the program in 2016. He has guided the Crimson Tide to four-straight winning seasons, including two NCAA Tournament berths (2013-14), setting single-season win records at Alabama in each of those two seasons.

RETURN TO TULSAThis weekend’s trip to Tulsa is the first in program history for Alabama but it marks a return visit for head coach Ed Allen, who spent five seasons (2006-10) leading the Golden Hurricane prior to his time in Tuscaloosa. There, he was twice named the Conference USA Coach of the Year, including AVCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year honors in 2010. Additionally, the trip reunites Allen with former Alabama assistant coach Ryan Willis, who is in his third season as the head coach at Tulsa.

KRYSTAL RIVERS NAMED PRESEASON ALL-SECThe Southeastern Conference released its volleyball preseason coaches’ poll and its preseason All-SEC team, with Alabama redshirt senior Krystal Rivers representing the Crimson Tide as one of nine athletes on the preseason team.

This marks Rivers’ third consecutive appearance on the Preseason All-SEC team for Rivers. Heading into her final season with the Crimson Tide, Rivers has earned AVCA All-South Region honors in each of the last three seasons, including Third Team All-America honors in 2014. Last season, she led Alabama with 410 kills (4.06/set) and a .300 hitting percentage and was second in the conference in kills-per-set. As a team, the Tide was selected sixth in the coaches’ poll with 90 points. Defending champion Texas A&M was selected to repeat with seven out of a possible 13 first-place votes.

THE ED ALLEN FILE

Ed Allen returns for his sixth season as the head women’s volleyball coach at the University of Alabama in 2016. Allen was named the head women’s volleyball coach at the Capstone on Jan. 10, 2011, after being named the 2010 Conference USA Coach of the Year and the 2010 AVCA Midwest Regional Coach of the Year at the University of Tulsa.

Allen, the fourth head coach in the history of the Alabama volleyball program, has led the Crimson Tide to a 96-67 overall record in his time at the Capstone. He has quickly built Alabama into a contender, earning the program’s first winning season in four years in 2012 with 18 wins, the most since 2005. He improved even further on that mark in his third season, guiding Alabama to a 24-10 record in 2013 and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007. The 24 wins were the most for the Tide since 1995. His stellar 2013 campaign helped earn him AVCA South Region Coach of the Year honors. In 2014, the Tide improved even further, totaling a school-record 26 wins, including the program’s first ever NCAA Tournament victory with a five-set win over Samford in the opening
