RAPID CITY —The South Dakota School of Mines recently announcedthe hiring of new Lady Hardrocker volleyball coach Tiffany Mastin-McCamp-bell, who joins the SD Mines athletic department after a two-year stint in St.Joseph, Mo., at NCAA Div. II Missouri Western State University.

"I've always wanted to coach kids that were at a very high level academi-cally minded as well as athletes that have great character," Mastin-McCamp-bell said."And that already goes with the philosophy of the kids that are here.They have a high academic standard and already have a great work ethic."

With all of her volleyball experience as a coach and a player, Mastin-Mc-Campbell recognizes the requirements to be an athlete as well as a studentat SDSM&T and is fully prepared to continue to bring the highest quality ofperson to the school.

"It's kind of a different recruiting base. It's going to be a little bit of a challenge," Mastin-McCampbell said."Itry to not only make them a well-rounded athlete, but also a well-rounded person and at a place like this you canactually do that."

Mastin-McCampbell wants to instill a winning tradition into her team and get them to enjoy the game andplay hard. It's that kind of team, Mastin-McCampbell says, that has the stability to get to the top."With the right team, (the style of play) would be a very fast tempo," Mastin-McCampbell added. "It would bephenomenal at this level, but it is just going to take time to build that."

As far as goals are concerned Mastin-McCampbell has her sights set on the very top and that's getting theHardrockers to a place they have not been in a number of years.

"Obviously winning a conference championship and getting to the national tournament is probably the big-gest goal in my mind," Mastin-McCampbell said."With kids like this and the caliber of athlete we have here, youcan start rebuilding this program to where it once had been. It's something where we can definitely compete andmake that a constant factor."

And 2006 offered Camargo a chance to experience volleyball from a whole new prospective, helping coachat NAU and bringing the Mavericks another national championship.

"I helped a lot with player workouts and recruiting," Camargo said."I was able to bring in three players thatare on the team now — good players. I also did other duties that an assistant has to attend to."Now apart of the Hardrocker program, Camargo hopes to project her love and talent for the game onto a newgeneration of volleyball players.

"I really like the game," Camargo said."I can't play anymore, but (coaching) is something I am excited to do.I get a chance to assist coach (McCampbell) and hopefully I get a chance to pass some of my experience on tothe (SDSMT) players. I am excited to be here."

SDM Netters Going Through Some Changes in 2009By Brad BlumeSports Information DirectorSouth Dakota School of Mines

RAPID CITY — "Change" is a pretty good word to describe the South Dakota School of Mines women'svolleyball team as they prepare for the 2009 season.

Not only do theHardrockers have a newcoach in Tiffany McCampbell,the SDM team is also adornedwith a number of new faces.The squad graduated five se-niors from the team, includingone of the best libero's in theconference in Jennie Hiykelas well as a Dakota AthleticConference All-Conference2nd team selection in AshleyKauffman. On top of that, theLady 'Rockers are installingnew offensive schemes andplays that just take time tolearn.The DAC preseason poll wasrecently released which hadthe Hardrockers predictedto finish seventh in the con-ference. McCampbell saidthat looks about right at firstglance.

"I think it's appropriatefor where we finished lastyear (7th)," McCampbell said."What they don't realize is that we actually return four or five starters from thatteam as well and they all have another year of experience.That will give us hope that will finish the season betterthen seventh.

"Our goal is to be in the top half of the conference."The Hardrockers welcome eight brand new players to the team. And with anything new, there is usually a

learning curve, but McCampbell said her new athletes are picking things up fairly quickly."For the most part they are adjusting well. We have a couple freshmen that are adapting very quickly," Mc-

Campbell said.As a whole, McCampbell described her freshmen as a solid, all-around group that is smaller but use their

quickness and intelligence to their advantage."It takes time with freshmen to get them acclimated to a faster paced offensive style with 14 other people,"

she said.But change is also happening for the veteran players as they have to adjust to not only a new coach and team-

mates, but a completely new offense."It's a lot faster and a lot quicker.We are trying to utilize the fact that we are undersized physically," McCamp-

bell said."These are intelligent kids and we are really trying to use the avenues that we are best at."The new scheme is considered a fast offense that uses three middle hitters instead of the traditional two.Once the offense is learned and executed properly, McCampbell feels her team will be able to compete with any

team that steps on the court, noting smarts, ability and more specifically blocking as the things the Hardrockersexcel at.

"We are a pretty athletic team and a very intelligent team," the coach said."lt's just a matter of trying to getthis group to figure out just what type of team we will be. Are we going to be a solid, all-around hard-workingteam? We need to figure out a team personality."

With eight new freshmen along with the returning athletes stepping into new roles it will take time, but theHardrockers have a good mix to complete the task.

SD Mines has just one senior this year in Katherine Hanson, a 6-foot-1-inch middle hitter from Sioux Falls,S.D. Hanson finished with a DAC All-Conference Honorable Mention after recording 221 kills, 17 aces, 312 digsand 71 blocks in 2008. She is already stepping into a leadership role for the 'Rockers and becoming the floorgeneral."Katherine brings so much more than she is given credit for to this team," McCampbell said."She is a very goodplayer fundamentally and athletically. She is going to be a huge key to this offense as to how fast we can go and

whether we can use her as a hitter or a decoy."Junior Paige Corcoran, a 6-0 middle hitter from

Pierre, S.D., is another veteran player that is a provenvolleyball player that is prepared to lead the squad. Shemissed some time in 2008 with injuries, but still man-aged to tally 90 kills, seven aces, 62 digs and 51 blocks.

"I am continuing to be impressed by Paige. Shehas a very good work ethic," McCampbell said."She isstill trying to come back from her knee injury and seewhere that knee can take her. She just keeps gettingbetter every day."Running a three-middle offense, keeping Corcoranhealthy is going to be another important factor in theHardrockers' success in 2009.

The third middle hitter has also been with the teamfor three seasons, but hasn't seen the court much. Kar-ma Garber, a 6-0 middle hitter from Torrington, Wyo.,redshirted her first season and was in a reserve spotlast year. McCampbell said as a sophomore, Garberwould see a considerable amount of action.

"The biggest things for Karina are going to be herexperience, strength and confidence," McCampbelladded."She's done very well in preseason. She's athleticand fundamentally sound, but we have to keep workingon her confidence."

The Hardrockers have a powerful weapon on the

outside with Madisen Lane, a 6-0 outside hitter from Fort Collins, Co. She returns with an incredible ability toterminate the volleyball. Lane also had some problems last year with injuries, but was able to play through thepain for a majority of the season. She finished 2008 with 154 kills, eight aces, 91 digs and 42 blocks.

"If we can keep Madisen Lane healthy this will hopefully be a breakout year for her," McCampbell said."Shecan play all the way around, she's a strong, athletic individual and Madi really wants to be a good leader to thisteam as well."

A lot of how Hardrockers fair hinges on Lane's progress through the early part of the season. She is strongand sound and is working on shot selection and other facets of the game.With the exit of the DAC Libero of the year, DAC's MVP senior of the year and holder of many records at SDM,the Hardrockers have replaced Hiykel with Reanna Roberson, a 5-4 sophomore from Windsor, Colo. Robersonwas listed as a setter last season.

"She has made that switch to libero easy. She looks like she is a lot more comfortable in the libero role

compared to her setting role last year,"McCampbell said."She is replacing one ofthe best lieberos ever, if not the best toplay (at SDSMT). Reanna has huge shoes tofill, but was able to get some mentoring fromJennie (last spring)."The setter position was an area of con-cern last season. The Hardrockers hadtwo freshmen in that role and as theyimproved, so did the team. This year, SDMines has some depth at the position,starting with Becky Keilholtz, a 5-5 soph-omore from Gwinn, Mich. She returns ayear older, more experience and has moreconfidence to set the ball up. Last year sheled the team with 516 assists, had 14 acesand 161 digs.

"Becky has matured mentally and hasgained a lot of confidence from the springuntil now. She has worked hard this falland is easily our No. I setter," McCamp-bell said.McCampbell added that the offense has been tweaked a little to run more scripted plays which should take pres-sure off of Keilholtz.

The Hardrockers No. 2 setter is 5-8 freshman Alex Mader, from Miles City, Mont."Alex has done a great job of coming in and being aggressive and has worked hard to learn everything she needsto know," McCampbell said."She fits well in our new system."

Fellow freshman Jesse Guthals (from Colorado Springs, Colo.) is a 5-8 left-handed right-side hitter that may alsosee time at the setter position.

"She's just a solid kid," McCampbell said of Guthals."She works very hard to compensate for her lack of height."Ashley Kemnitz (5-7, OH), a sophomore from Vivian, S.D., and Rachel Pakerak (5-8 OH/RS) a freshman from Plym-outh, Minn., should also contribute to the 2009 Hardrockers. Kemnitz is coming off a leg injury suffered last springduring track.

"Ashley will see some time on the outside. She's coming off a knee injury but has done a great job in preseason.She continues to get better every day," McCampbell said."Rachel can play all the way around as a freshman. She hasgreat ball control - offensively and passing. She is very quiet but she takes in everything around her."Fellow freshmen Kaynsa Bartsch (5-7 OH/DS) from Lubbock,Texas;Justine Sorensen (6-0, MH/RS) from Vermillion,S.D.; Cathene Malin (5-10 OH) from Hudson,Wis.; Brittney LaDue (5-9, OH/RS) from Meadow, S.D.; and LauretteBeal (5-9, RS) from Big Springs, Neb., will all have supporting roles in the Hardrockers quest this season.

"Kaynsa is a solid kid fundamentally and I see her pushing Reanna in that libero spot," McCampbell said."Ca-thene Malin has a very athletic body and we are working on technical training with her. She could see time at either(OH) or (RS).Justine is a freshman middle hitter that we are working to have her gain a lot of offensive experienceand add depth to our roster. Laurette and Brittney are new players for us this fall. Our goal is to get them volleyballexperience and as much technical training as we can."

Despite the change in the coaching staff and the change in personnel and the change in offensive philosophies,McCampbell hasn't lost sight of what she want her team to accomplish.

"The goal is always going to be to get to the national tournament.That's never happened (at SDSMT)," the coach said. "The main goalis to finish in the Top 4 in the conference with sites on the nationaltournament and really building a foundation for this program."

Looking at the conference, McCampbell feels that Black HillsState will the team to beat in the DAC and also thinks JamestownCollege, Dickinson State, Minot State and Mayville State along withthe Hardrockers will all be slugging it out each week with similarplayers and skills.

So with all the changes that are going on this season for theHardrockers, time will tell if they will be changes for the better. Mc-Campbell thinks so — and she lets her players know that every day.

"We are going to challenge them every day to get better. Wewill continue to tell them that this is going to be a great program— whether it's a month from now or two years from now — itremains to be seen."
