2013 ARKANSAS VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE


BARNHILL ARENA

The date of March 3, 1993, closed Barnhill’s career as a basketball facility with a gala party, complete with a coast-to-coast broadcast of the Arkansas-LSU men’s game on ESPN and closing ceremonies carried live statewide. As the home of Razorback volleyball, Barnhill underwent renovation of its playing surface to convert the then 19-year-old hardwood floor to a volleyball configuration. It was unveiled to the public during Arkansas’ summer camps, including the first-ever volleyball camp at the Fayetteville campus in 1994. In addition to the on-the-court renovation, the Razorback volleyball program was provided with a state-of-theart locker room. The locker room features a lounge area, team room with a large-screen television, computer area for studying and circularshaped locker area. (Pictures on next page) Barnhill again underwent face-lift to remain one of the best in the country in 2002. Changes included new paint on the court,

expanding the borders to 10 feet, and refinishing and lightening the surrounding wood surfaces. New lights, including specialized “show lights” with shutters that allow for instant “on-off” capabilities, and new seating were other changes. The Pulliza era began in 2008 with Arkansas competing under the second head coach in program history. Pulliza and his staff instituted some changes of their own updating the volleyball locker room and adorning the facility with new graphics. The southwest hallway leading to the court now features a game day mural and images of Arkansas’ seven All-Americans. The program’s story is also told in the north lobby with the addition of NCAA Tournament and All-SEC wall graphics, installed prior to the 2013 season. During the offseason prior to the 2011 campaign, the Razorback volleyball staff updated the media room where the team meets to watch film and postmatch interviews are conducted.

Is it the fans? Is it the facility itself? Is it the Hog Wild Band and Razorback Cheerleaders? It’s all of the above that make Barnhill Arena, the home of the Arkansas Volleyball, one of the toughest venues in the country. Renovated several times since its opening, Barnhill Arena officially closed its doors as one of the most feared basketball facilities in the country March 3, 1993. It was then re-configured into the largest volleyball-only arena in time for the inaugural season in 1994. The Barn underwent a second significant face lift prior to the 2002 season to also become the home of University of Arkansas gymnastics. Barnhill Arena was authorized in 1953 as the University’s new multipurpose arena. Named for athletic director John Barnhill, the Fieldhouse, as it was originally known, underwent a drastic renovation in 1976-78. The renovation created the seating arrangement that turned the facility into a basketball-only configuration.

THE HOGWILD BAND, CHEERLEADERS & MASCOT

Kids of all ages will enjoy the Hogwild Band, Arkansas cheerleaders and Big Red mascot at home events. Sing along as the Hogwild Band, under the direction of Ben Chamberlain, plays the fight song and other favorites. The Razorback cheerleaders and Big Red, under the direction of Jean Nail and Kraig Jimenez, will also be there. Ben Chamberlain Associate Director of Athletic Bands Chamberlain did his undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota and earned his Master of Music degree from LSU. He has also completed coursework for the Doctor of Music degree from Northwestern. In addition to his duties with the Hogwild Bands, Chamberlain’s responsibilities include directing the Concert Band, teaching courses in the Department of Music and assisting with the instruction of the Razorback Marching Band. Kraig Jimenez Cheer Coach Kraig Jimenez is in his 10th year as cheer coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks. He has been a head camp instructor for Universal Cheerleaders Association for 10 years. Jimenez is from Houston, Texas, and cheered four years at the University of Nebraska. Jean Nail Spirit Coordinator Jean Nail is in her 31st year as spirit group coordinator for the Razorbacks. She coordinates the selection and performance schedule of the Razorback Cheerleaders, Pom squad, RBI Girls and Mascots as well as handling spirit groups for Razorbacks events. Nail received her bachelor’s in 1986 and masters in 1987 in education from the University of Arkansas. Jean and husband Mike Nail have two daughters, Michelle (Mrs. Doug) Kehn and Elsa (Mrs. Scott) Salrin and are the proud grandparents of John Michael Kehn, 13 and Aubrey Anne Kehn, 10.

When Barnhill Arena is rocking, it’s due in large part to the atmosphere created by the Hog Wild Band and student section located in the east endzone of the facility.

In 2010 against No. 22 Tennessee, Arkansas hosted its first Razorback Dig for the Cure event benefitting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. The first 500 fans in attendance received pink “Dig for the Cure” wristbands and fans were able to pledge a dollar amount to the organization.

WHY ARKANSAS? HOME AWAY FROM HOME It’s never easy to move away from home, but the University of Arkansas and University Housing make sure our students have the comforts they need. There are 12 residence halls to choose from at Arkansas. They include Futrall, Gibson, Gregson, Holcombe, Humphreys, Maple Hill East, Maple Hill South, Maple Hill West, Northwest Quad, Pomfret Honors Quarters, Reid and Yocum. As has become the trend, the Razorback volleyball players are living in the Northwest Quad, or “The Quad” for short. The players reported to campus Aug. 11 for their first official day of the 2013 preseason. Day one featured meetings with the academics, compliance and Student Life staffs. The Razorbacks also took team pictures.

Approximately 600 students live in The Quad with backgrounds ranging from scholarship athletes, honors students, 15 resident assistants, one faculty in residence and one coordinator for residence eduction. The Quad rooms are “suite-style” with each resident having her own room. Residents share a bathroom with one other resident and four students share a living room space. High-speed internet access, a computer lab and free laundry facilities are just a few of the many amenities students enjoy. The Quad is located within walking distance from Barnhill Arena making them convenient for student-athletes. In addition, The Quad are easily accessible to classrooms, dining and the center of campus.

From the initial move-in at The Quads to your final Senior Walk, the University of Arkansas is a special place to call home.

SEC WESTERN DIVISION SUCCESS

FOLLOW US: @RAZORBACKVB

TEAM INFORMATION • THE RAZORBACKS • THE STAFF • 2012 REVIEW • RECORDS • HISTORY • 2013 OPPONENTS • UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

The Southeastern Conference welcomed the arrival of two new teams, Arkansas and South Carolina in 1992 with the Razorbacks adding volleyball for the 1994 season. The addition of Arkansas brought the SEC to 11 teams (Vanderbilt does not sponsor volleyball) and prompted the league to recognize an Eastern and Western Division. No one could have imagined the early success the Razorbacks would have as they surged to the top of the divisional standings in the program’s first year of existence. Since Arkansas’ addition, the Razorbacks have won a share of 11 SEC Western Division titles in 17 seasons. They have one SEC Tournament title in 1997 and have won numerous individual awards, including SEC Freshman of the Year accolades for Jasmine Norton in 2009. Arkansas reached the SEC Tournament finals in just the second year of the program in 1995. The Razorbacks reached eight SEC Tournament finals before the league dropped the tournament prior to the 2006 season. The Razorbacks won the 1997 SEC Tournament title in Athens, Ga., defeating fourth-ranked Florida in three sets, 15-7, 15-7, 17-15, avenging losses to the Gators in the previous two finals. Krystal Osborne earned tournament MVP honors. The Razorbacks swept through three matches without dropping a set in the tournament, defeating Tennessee in the opener and downing South Carolina in the semifinals. Arkansas hosted the SEC Tournament in 1998 and 2002 at Barnhill Arena, advancing to the championship match on both occasions. Arkansas has an impressive 149-47 record, good for a .760 winning percentage, against the six other members of the SEC West - Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Texas A&M. The Razorbacks own a winning record against each of their division mates except for Texas A&M; the teams met for the first time during the 2012 season. The SEC expanded prior to the start of the 2012-13 academic season with the additions of Texas A&M to the Western Division and Missouri to the Eastern Division.

NATIONAL TEAM EXPERIENCE Under the direction of head coach Robert Pulliza, the University of Arkansas volleyball program is reinventing itself. One of the elements important to Pulliza and his staff is how players represent themselves as Razorbacks, as student-athletes and within the community. Over the past few years, Arkansas has had an increased presence on the international stage. There is no greater honor or more significant way for a player to display their talents than to be selected to a national team program. Including Pulliza’s coaching accomplishments, the Razorbacks now have 14 members of their program’s history represent their respective countries. From that group, six are on the 2013 roster through the talents of Barbara Dapic (Croatia), Liz Fortado (USA), Emily Helm (USA), Ana Sofia Jusino (Puerto Rico), Raymariely Santos (Puerto Rico) and Ashley Vazquez (Puerto Rico). In past coaching selections, Pulliza has been on the sideles for both the United States and his native Puerto Rico. The first Razorback to earn USA recognition was all-time kills leader Krystal Osborne who was picked for the 1995 U.S. Olympic Festival Team. She was followed in 1998 by the duo of Jessica Field and Yarleen Santiago who represented the USA and Puerto Rico, respectively. Most recently, Arkansas was represented by the trio of Fortado, Helm and Jusino during the summer prior to the 2013 season. For the second conseuctive season, the Razorbacks were represented in the China-USA Challenge when Helm served as the libero for Team USA in Beijing and Shanghai. The travels continued for Arkansas Volleyball in 2013 with Fortado as a member of the USA Volleyball Women’s Junior A1 National Team that competed at the 9th Annual European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia. Fortado helped the team to a semifinal appearance at the global event.

Emily Helm (#1) was the libero for the USA/BIP Development Team during the 2013 China-USA Challenge in Beijing and Shanghai.

In February 2013, the Arkansas trio of (from left) Emily Helm, Liz Fortado and Summer Morgan attended the USA Volleyball Tryouts in Colorado.

As a member of the Puerto Rico Junior National Team, Jusino competed at the 2013 FIVB Under-20 World Championships in Brno, Czech Republic. During the two-week competition, Jusino tied for 75th in overall scoring and 33rd in blocks per set. “We didn’t expect games to be easy because in a World Championship, everyone is good and anybody can beat anybody. Hmmm, kind of like the SEC,” Jusino noted in a blog entry that recapped her trip. Past international experience on this year’s Razorback roster belongs to Santos and Vazquez who spent previous years as a member of the Puerto Rico Youth and Junior National Teams. Santos was also a member of the National Team that played at the Grand Prix in Brazil, Japan and Thailand. Freshman Barbara Dapic adds to Arkansas’ global reach and brings international experience as a member of the Croatian Junior National Team. Most recently, she played at the U-20 World Championships qualifier. At the head of the program, Pulliza came to the Razorbacks having served three stints with the US National programs. He was an assistant coach for the US Girls Youth National Team in 2000 and 2001 (see photos on opposite page). Pulliza’s 2000 team won the silver medal at the NORCECA Zonal Championship in the Dominican Republic. Pulliza’s international experience continued with the US National A2 Team in 2003. In February 2010, Pulliza served as an assistant coach for the Puerto Rico Junior National Team at the Summer Cup in Lima, Peru. He followed that experience with a trip to the NORCECA Girls’ Youth Continental Championship where Puerto Rico earned a bronze medal (left) and secured a spot in the 2011 FIVB Youth World Championship tournament. Most recently, Pulliza was the head coach of the USA/ BIP Development Team at the 2012 China-USA Challenge where he coached a team that included then-senior outside hitter Jasmine Norton, who was making her debut on the international stage.

RAZORBACKS IN THE COMMUNITY

14

Being a part of the Northwest Arkansas community is an important part of being a Razorback. This ranges from team visits to area nursing homes to volunteer work with Race for the Cure and Special Olympics. The Razorback volleyball team finished second among all of the university’s teams in the 2012 Lee Spencer Cup standings, a department initiative that awards Arkansas’ teams based on academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal and career development and service. But that’s just a small part of the Razorbacks community service. Players visit area schools to read to youngsters in the school library. Arkansas is a charter member of the “Bring a Girl to the Game” promotion for National Women’s and Girls in Sport Day. The regional Girl Scout troops are involved in several projects, including Girl Scout Day, for many team sports like basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis and softball.

For the second consecutive year in conjuction with their spring offseason schedule, the Razorbacks hosted a clinic at Barnhill Arena with Special Olympics Arkansas. More than 130 youth and adult players along with the Arkansas coaching staff and student-athletes were in attendance at the event. Arkansa also participated in the organization’s Area 3 Games in April. “We were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to host the Special Olympics event,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Since we have been at Arkansas, we’ve been trying to figure out a way to be involved with the organization and we are very thankful to Tonja McCone for helping make that possible.” The volleyball team also paired with national organization Feed My Starving Children to help pack meals for those in need, volunteered during the Walk for Love and takes visits to local veterans’ hospitals.

The image above is a group shot of Razorback Athletics, including Pulliza and the volleyball team, coming together April 27, 2013, for its annual Lift Up America. It was the sixth consecutive year that Arkansas has assisted in the program. During the morning event, more than 30,000 pounds of food were distributed to the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and its partner agencies.

HEAD COACH ROBERT PULLIZA

42

The University of Arkansas added one of the nation’s top recruiters to its athletic staff when Robert Pulliza was introduced as the head coach of Razorback Volleyball on July 11, 2008. Pulliza, one of just a handful of coaches in the country to play and coach in the Final Four, became the second head coach in program history. As a player, Pulliza was a two-year captain for the Ball State men’s volleyball team and helped lead the Cardinals to the NCAA Final Four in 1994 and 1995. Then as an assistant coach at Wisconsin, Pulliza helped guide the Badgers to the Final Four during the 2000 season. Through his five seasons at the helm of the Arkansas program, Pulliza has seen his student-athletes collect three AVCA All-America accolades, five AVCA All-South Region certificates and 11 All-SEC honors. Among those awards, Jasmine Norton was the 2009 Freshman of the Year for both the AVCA All-South Region and SEC, while Amanda Anderson capped her career as the 2012 SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. In his fifth season, Pulliza guided the Razorbacks to the NCAA Tournament and posted a 22-10 overall record with a 13-7 tally in Southeastern Conference play. Both win totals represent highs for the program under Pulliza’s watch. The 20win season is the first for Arkansas since the 2005 season, three years prior to Pulliza arriving in Fayetteville. The trip to the NCAA Tournament was the program’s first since the 2006 season. Pulliza’s effect on the Arkansas program can also be measured by the team’s reflection in the Rating Percentage Index (RPI). When he took over in 2008, the Razorbacks were ranked No. 140. In the first RPI release of the 2012 season, Arkansas was the top-ranked SEC team at No. 16. The team was a mainstay in the RPI top 30 throughout the 2012 campaign. In 2012, the Razorbacks added two AVCA All-America honors for Norton and Roslandy Acosta and four All-SEC accolades with selections for Acosta, Anderson, Norton and Liz Fortado. Anderson was named the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Acosta and Norton earned First- and Second-Team honors, respectively, and Fortado was voted to the All-Freshman Team. Under Pulliza’s watch, Norton became just the second player in program history be selected to the All-SEC Team all four years of her career and the first to be recognized with two AVCA All-America honors. She finished her career as the second-most prolific attacker in program history and No. 8 on the all-time SEC list with 1,799 career kills. Norton also became just the sixth Arkansas player with 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs. On the recruiting front, Pulliza has added five top-100 players to his roster in the past two seasons with Fortado (No. 75) and Ana Sofia Jusino (79) in 2011 and the trio of Breana Jones (52), Danielle Harbin (78) and Megan Mollett (97) in 2012. The past two recruiting seasons have produced top-30 PrepVolleyball rankings with the 2012 class earning the top spot among SEC teams and the No. 16 ranking in the country, the highest in program history. The development of Raymariely Santos as the Razorbacks’ setter has also been key to the program’s recent success. With Santos directing the offense, Arkansas’ hitting percentage was consistently ranked within the top 50 among the nation’s teams. Pulliza has also seen Santos move into third place on the program’s career assists list and just shy of 3,000 career assists entering her senior season. Using a fast-paced offense and building a competitive home schedule, Pulliza built a fan-friendly brand of volleyball that brought in the fans. Arkansas’ 2012 home attendance increased for the fourth consecutive season, setting a single-season record for total attendance at Barnhill Arena. Seven of the top-10 home crowds have come during the past three seasons,

During her first season in Cardinal and White, Norton became the sixth All-American in Razorback program history when she was selected as an Honorable Mention performer by the AVCA. In addition to her national recognition, Norton was named the SEC and South Region Freshman of the Year, earned a spot on the All-SEC Second Team and garnered All-South Region Honorable Mention accolades. During the season, the Rowlett, Texas, native set an SEC record by earning six league Freshman of the Week awards, all of which came during conference play. That initial group of recruits also included Anderson, the very first commitment for Pulliza as Arkansas’ head coach. Anderson and Norton were both named to the SEC All-Freshman Team, the seventh and eighth All-Freshman selections in program history. During the season, Anderson earned all-tournament honors at the TCU Invitational and Arkansas Invitational, the latter resulting in the 6-2 middle blocker being named the SEC Freshman of the Week. Pulliza’s first season with the Razorback Nation included a pair of SEC sweeps and his first foray into the SEC Coaches’ Beach Volleyball Championship. He also helped then-freshman Stipanovich earn a spot on the USA Junior A2 National Team that traveled to Europe during the summer of 2009. In addition to his success at the collegiate level, Pulliza has also gained international experience with the Puerto Rico and USA National Team programs. In 2000 and 2001, he was an assistant with the USA Youth National Team, with the 2000 team earning a silver medal at the NORCCA Zonal Championship. Pulliza went on to serve as an assistant coach with the USA National A2 team in the summer of 2003.

including a program-record 3,015 fans in attendance for the Razorbacks’ 2012 SEC opener against No. 13 Florida. Having completed his fourth season with the Razorbacks in 2011, Pulliza continued to guide his team toward joining the nation’s elite. At season’s end, Arkansas owned an 18-13 overall record and a 10-win SEC tally. At the time, the conference total was the most by the program since the league went to the double round-robin format. The Razorbacks finished second in the SEC Western Division and fifth overall, the team’s best conference finish since the 2005 season. As part of its non-conference schedule, Arkansas claimed a pair of tournament titles with victories at the Deacon Invitational in Winston-Salem, N.C., and the West Point Challenge in New York. The Razorbacks’ record to start SEC play (8-3) was the sixth-best in program history. Individually, Norton, a preseason All-SEC selection, and Stipanovich capped their respective seasons by earning All-SEC honors. Norton was named to the All-SEC First Team and Stipanovich, the fourth all-conference performer under Pulliza, was named to the All-SEC Second Team. For the first time since 2003, Arkansas had two players on either the league’s First- or Second-Team. Norton added to her collection of honors with a selection to COBRA Magazine’s Midsouth All-Region Team. In his third season at the helm of the Arkansas volleyball program, Pulliza guided the youthful 2010 Razorbacks to a fourth-place finish in the Western Division and a seventh-place overall conference finish. All six conference teams ahead of Arkansas advanced to the NCAA Tournament. With a roster that featured no seniors in 2010, Pulliza saw two of his underclassmen standouts recognized by the SEC coaches at the end of the season. Norton earned a spot on the All-SEC Second Team, the second such honor of her career, and Santos became the ninth player in Razorback history to earn SEC All-Freshman honors. She joined Anderson and Norton as the three all-freshman selections for Pulliza at that time; Fortado became the fourth in 2012. During the season, Norton led the SEC offensively with 3.83 kills per set. With the accomplishment, she became the first player in Arkansas volleyball history to lead the conference in kills per set over the course of an entire season. At her setter position, Santos earned two Freshman of the Week awards and one Defensive Player of the Week selection. Freshman Brooke Fournier was also selected to the USA Junior A2 National Team that competed in Europe during the summer of 2011. In 2009, on the talents of the youngest roster since the program’s inaugural season, the Razorback volleyball team took tremendous strides during Pulliza’s second year as head coach. Picked to finish 10th in the Southeastern Conference in the preseason coaches’ poll, the Razorbacks exceeded all expectations to post the sixth-best record in the league. As impressive as the team’s development, the emergence of Norton as Arkansas’ go-to player on the outside was instrumental to the team’s success. Norton was a member of Pulliza’s first recruiting class at Arkansas, which was ranked in the nation’s top 45 by PrepVolleyball.com.

Most recently, Pulliza continued his international outreach in July 2012 where he served as the head coach for the USA/BIP Development Team at the 2nd Annual China-USA Challenge. During the tour, Pulliza and his team, which included Norton, competed against the professional teams from Liaoning, Shanghai and Tianjin. In the spring of 2010 and with Pulliza on staff, the Puerto Rico Youth National Team won the bronze medal at the NORCECA Girls’ Youth Continental Championship. The top-three finish ensured a trip to the 2011 FIVB Youth World Championship in Turkey. In February 2010, Pulliza was part of the coaching staff that took the Puerto Rico Junior National Team to Lima, Peru, to compete in the Summer Cup. The team played Chile, the Dominican Republic and Peru, picking up a win against the Chilean team. As well as his assistant coach duties, Pulliza has also served as a consultant for Puerto Rico. Pulliza, who is in his third season as a member of the AVCA Postseason Awards Committee for the South Region, has also been actively involved in the community since arriving in Fayetteville. Along with his wife, he established the Robert and Jamie Pulliza Opportunity Scholarship in 2009. The scholarship was established for a non-athlete attending the University of Arkansas based on academic achievement, leadership and community engagement. Hayden Herrera was the first recipient of the scholarship and graduated from the University in 2012. In a further show of his dedication to the University and community, Pulliza is a member of the Athletic Director’s Council on Diversity. In 2012, El Latino, an Arkansas Times publication, named Pulliza to the Who’s Who list of the Latino Community in the state of Arkansas. Pulliza came to Fayetteville after stops in some of the nation’s best programs, including, most recently, the University of Kentucky where he served as the associate head coach. He was instrumental in re-energizing the Kentucky program upon his arrival in 2004. His recruiting prowess with the Wildcats was evident as his 2007 class was ranked No. 8 in the country. He followed with the 17th-ranked recruiting class in 2008. Pulliza’s class in 2006 was ranked 26th by PrepVolleyball. One of the standouts from Pulliza’s initial recruiting class at Kentucky, setter Sarah Rumely, went on to be voted the 2008 SEC Player of the Year and two-time All-American. During her first season, Rumely was twice named the SEC Freshman of the Week en route to being named the SEC Freshman of the Year. One member of the 2007 team, Queen Nzenwa, became the program’s first All-America selection since 1993 after finishing the year ranked eighth in the nation in blocks per game. Pulliza’s 2007 freshman class again led the SEC in first-year player success as the Wildcats brought home four SEC Freshman of the Week honors and a league-leading seven honors. Kentucky made three NCAA tournament appearances in Pulliza’s three seasons for the first time in school history. In addition, Pulliza helped guide the Wildcats to a 20-win season for the first time since 1993. Kentucky had three consecutive 17plus win seasons including back-to-back 19-win years and Pulliza coached nine All-SEC members and 10 All-SEC Academic honorees. Pulliza’s college coaching career began in 1996 as an assistant coach at James Madison University. The Dukes began the season with an RPI outside the top 200 but ended the year with a No. 61 RPI ranking. He moved on to Northern Illinois for the 1998-99 season helping the Huskies to the Mid-American Conference regular season title and second round of the NCAA Tournament in 1998. Pulliza’s next endeavor was in Madison, Wis., where he served as the recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator for the Badgers from 1999-2001. He is credited with recruiting

2012 SEASON REVIEW

50

The University of Arkansas volleyball program reached new heights under fifth-year head coach Robert Pulliza, capping its 2012 season with a trip to the NCAA Tournament. With the help of two All-Americans, a handful of All-SEC performers and several career milestones, the Razorbacks posted the program’s first 20-win campaign in seven seasons and were mentioned among the country’s best as part of the national rankings for the first time since 2004. “I’m very proud of this team,” Pulliza said following the season. “I’m very proud of the season we had. We had a great journey that I know our players and staff will always remember.” The Razorbacks racked up a 22-10 overall record and a 13-7 mark in SEC play. Arkansas’ 20-win season represented the program’s first since the 2005 season, and 10th in program history. The overall and SEC win totals are a program high under Pulliza. Arkansas finished in second place in the SEC Western Division and fifth in the overall conference standings. The Razorbacks had a No. 32 ranking in the final RPI ranking. Arkansas broke a six-year absence from the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship with its at-large selection into the field of 64. The Razorbacks were the No. 2 seed in the Lawrence sub-region that included No. 11 Kansas, Wichita State and Cleveland State. With its selection, the program made its 10th NCAA appearance and its first under Pulliza. “This is the dream we’ve had since being here,” senior captain Amanda Anderson said of the Razorbacks’ NCAA Tournament selection. “Four years I’ve been waiting for that moment. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited in my life. My heart stopped. I started crying. It’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.”

Individually, seniors Roslandy Acosta and Jasmine Norton made history as the second set of Arkansas volleyball teammates to earn AllAmerica honors in the same season. The Razorback outside attackers were recognized as AVCA Honorable Mention All-Americans for their standout efforts in 2012. Norton became the first player in program history to earn two All-America accolades during her career, while Acosta became the seventh All-American in program history. Along with the most recent honors, the list of Arkansas’ All-Americans also includes Jessica Field (1997), Kim Storey (1998), Sara Kincaid (2003), Robert Tarnauskaite (2003) and Denitza Koleva (2006). When all-conference awards were announced, the Razorbacks were well-represented with four selections. Acosta and Norton were named to the All-SEC First- and Second-Team, respectively; while Anderson was voted the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Liz Fortado earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team. Arkansas’ four SEC selections were the program’s largest single-season collection since 2003. The Razorbacks’ work in the classroom and community was also recognized with SEC academic and service honors. A total of five players—Anderson, Kasey Heckelman, Hayley Koop, Avery Lewis and Clarissa Pavey—were named to the 2012 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll. Koop was also the Razorbacks’ representative on the SEC Volleyball Community Service Team. Heckelman was also a Capital One Academic All-District VI honoree. Capping her four-year career in Cardinal and White with her first trip to the NCAA Tournament, Norton continued to post standout numbers during her senior season. In October, she became the sixth player in program history to join the 1,000-kill/1,000-dig club. Norton finished

her Razorback career with 1,799 kills, the eighth most by any player in SEC history. Acosta reached a milestone of her own when she collected her 500th career kill in a road match at Texas A&M. In two years at Arkansas, the Vargas, Venezuela, native totaled 591 kills. From her middle attacker position, senior Janeliss Torres-Lopez reached 500 career kills during the 2012 season. Junior Raymariely Santos moved into third place on the program’s all-time assists list and heads into her senior season with 2,915 career assists. During her senior season, Anderson posted career-best numbers in helping Arkansas to the postseason. In addition to eclipsing 700 kills in her career, she established a career-high .342 hitting percentage which ranked her eighth among all SEC attackers. She also had career-high conference numbers in kills, kills per set, hitting percentage and total blocks. The SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor for Anderson was the first in program history. For just the fifth time in program history, and first time since 1999, the Razorbacks wrapped their home schedule with 14 wins. Arkansas finished the year with a 14-4 record at Barnhill Arena. One of those wins was a come-from-behind victory over Kentucky in which the Razorbacks rallied from a 0-2 deficit for the first time since 2008. With the win, Arkansas also swept the season series against UK for the first time since 2003. The Razorbacks capped their home slate with a Senior Day win over Ole Miss. “More important than the win is the mark this senior class has left on Arkansas volleyball,” Pulliza said. “It’s a mark that will always be remembered and they have left a stamp of excellence on what Arkansas volleyball is all about.” In response to the play on the court, the Razorback fans turned out in record numbers during the 2012 season at Barnhill Arena. For the first time in program history, the total attendance figure eclipsed the 15,000 mark. In 18 home dates, Arkansas averaged 1,016 fans. The single-match record was also set during the year with a figure of 3,015 during the SEC opener against No. 13 Florida.

Throughout the season, the Razorbacks were on the receiving end of several awards. In addition to the team’s year-end awards, TorresLopez and junior libero Emily Helm each earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Through the pre-conference schedule, Acosta, Fortado, Helm, Norton, Santos and Torres-Lopez earned a handful of all-tournament selections. Following the season, a quartet of Razorbacks extended their volleyball careers by signing professional contracts with the Puerto Rico Superior League. Acosta signed on to play with Valencianas de Juncos while Norton and Torres-Lopez signed with Leonas de Ponce. Arkansas now has four players in the professional league with former Razorback Yarleen Santiago (1997-99) playing for Gigantes de Carolina. In May 2013, Anderson signed on with the Brondby Volleyball Klub out of Copenhagen, Denmark. During the 2013 spring semester, the Razorbacks’ recruiting class for the upcoming season was named the top-rated group among the SEC and No. 16 overall in the country. The ranking from PrepVolleyball builds upon Arkansas’ recruiting base that received a then-program best No. 26 mark prior to the 2012 season. The Razorbacks’ latest incoming class includes Barbara Dapic (Split, Croatia), Blakelee Dunagin (Rogers, Ark.), Danielle Harbin (Mobile, Ala.), Meredith Hays (Hereford, Texas), Breana Jones (Peachtree, Ga.), Megan Mollett (McKinney, Texas) and Savannah Voelzke (Longview, Texas). Dapic and Hays were not counted toward Arkansas’ recruiting rank due to their respective international and transfer status. Competition for a handful of Razorbacks reached into the summer months with the trio of Fortado, Helm and redshirt freshman Ana Sofia Jusino competing internationally for their respective countries. Fortado was selected as a member of the USA Volleyball Women’s Junior A1 National Team that finished fourth at the 9th Annual European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia. Helm spent two weeks representing the United States at the China-USA Challenge in Beijing and Shanghai. Jusino played with the Puerto Rico Junior National Team at the FIVB Under-20 World Championships in Brno, Czech Republic.

During her four-year career at Arkansas, Jasmine Norton amassed the second-highest kill total (1,799 kills) in program history and the No. 8 mark in SEC history.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team opened its 2012 season with a straight-set victory (25-16, 25-18, 25-19) over UT-Martin Friday evening at Barnhill Arena. Six players registered at least six kills against the Skyhawks, including a match-high 10 kills from senior Roslandy Acosta. The Razorbacks combined for a .348 hitting percentage and held their opponent to a .087 figure. Junior setter Raymariely Santos collected a double-double performance with 25 assists and a team-high 13 digs. She added seven kills to her output. Senior Janeliss Torres-Lopez finished the night with nine kills and four total blocks. Santos, Kasey Heckelman and Jasmine Norton each had seven kills against UT-Martin. Norton also had 10 digs. Freshman Liz Fortado had a match-high five total blocks in her collegiate debut. “It always feels good to start the season with a win,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We did some good things but at times we were a little sloppy and jittery. But that’s expected being the first match out. I liked our effort tonight and now we have to re-gather for a quick turnaround against Northwestern State in the morning.” The Razorbacks won the first four points of the match, and built a lead as large as nine on their way to a first-set win against UT-Martin. Fortado bookended the set with kills, helping Arkansas to the 25-16 win in the opener. In the first set, the Arkansas defense posted four total blocks and held the Skyhawks to a .030 hitting percentage. “We really went out there to dig everything,” junior libero Emily Helm said. “That’s something we’re really focusing on, digging as many balls as we can. That just frustrates the hitters on the other side so I think it helped us out in being fearless and doing our thing defensively.” In the second set, the offense dominated play with a .485 output. Five Razorbacks had at least two kills during the game, including six from Acosta. With the score tied at six, the home team reeled off seven consecutive points to seize control of the set. A kill from senior Jasmine Norton gave Arkansas its first nine-point lead of the game. On the team’s third set point, Acosta found the floor to send the Razorbacks to the halftime with a 25-18 win. The third set was the tightest of the night with Arkansas never gaining more than a threepoint lead through the first half of the game. Senior Janeliss Torres-Lopez had a kill to give the Razorbacks a 16-11 lead but the visitors won five of the next seven points to force Pulliza to call his first timeout of the match. Arkansas won the last three points of the match including the final kill from Santos.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Roslandy Acosta had a career-high 15 kills and Jasmine Norton posted a double-double performance as the University of Arkansas volleyball team beat Northwestern State in four sets (25-17, 22-25, 26-24, 25-20) Saturday at Barnhill Arena. The Razorbacks finished the match with 13.5 total blocks, including a match-high eight blocks from Janeliss Torres-Lopez. She also added 11 kills for Arkansas. “I think we came out ready for an early match,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We started out ready to play ball but then we got a little too relaxed. We knew Northwestern State was going to dig a ton of balls and not give the match away. After they won the second set, we were able to get back into a groove and were really tough down the stretch, which was nice to see. Then we did some good things in the fourth. We just have to keep working at being consistent.” After an even start to the first set, Arkansas (2-0) used a four-point spurt to take a 14-10 lead after back-to-back kills from Norton and Liz Fortado, respectively. Out of a Northwestern State (0-2) timeout, the home team started to pull away. Consecutive blocks—both featuring Torres-Lopez—gave the Razorbacks a 23-15 lead and on the team’s second set point, Norton found the floor with her fifth kill of the day to close out the opener in Arkansas’ favor, 25-17. The Razorback senior finished the match with 13 kills and 16 digs. The visitors won four of the first five points to establish control early in the second set. The Lady Demons eventually led, 13-9, after an Arkansas attack error to force a timeout from Pulliza. Trailing by three, the Razorbacks scored four points in a row to take their first lead of the match, 17-16. However, with the score tied at 20-all, Northwestern State won five of the last seven point to win the set, 25-22. With Ashley Vazquez at the service line early in the third set, the Razorbacks reeled off four points in a row to take a 13-6 lead. Vazquez capped the run with a service ace. Northwestern State responded by winning the next six points to get back into the set. With the score tied at 20all, the visitors won three of the next four points and arrived at set point after a kill from Stacey DiFrancesco. With its back to the wall, Arkansas won the last three points of the set including the game winner by Acosta, her seventh of the set. The Lady Demons jumped out to an early 7-3 lead in the fourth set but Arkansas recovered to even the score at nine-all after consecutive kills from Torres-Lopez. Vazquez served up her second ace to put the Razorbacks ahead by four, 19-15. Down the stretch, Northwestern State pulled to within a point twice but the home team maintained their lead. On the team’s first match point, Fortado and Amanda Anderson combined for a block to close out the match with a 25-20 set win. “I feel like this match will really help us tonight,” Norton said. “(Northwestern State) dug everything and made us step up with our defensive effort. So when we play Kansas later, we know we can get in there and really dig a lot of balls. That will give us a push when we go back out there against Kansas.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Down a set down and facing set points in the second and third sets, the University of Arkansas volleyball team rallied past Kansas in four sets (18-25, 27-25, 26-24, 2521) Saturday evening to win the 2012 Arkansas Invitational. Senior Roslandy Acosta was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by senior Jasmine Norton and junior Raymariely Santos. Acosta finished the match with 16 kills and nine digs. Norton completed a double-double performance with 16 digs and registered a .308 hitting percentage against the Jayhawks. From her setter position, Santos tallied 48 assists, six kills and six digs. Junior libero Emily Helm had a team-high 19 digs wearing the Cardinal jersey. “It was a great match tonight,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Kansas is a very good team. I’m a true believer that they will be an NCAA Tournament team. I’m really proud of our kids and the way they fought. I’m really proud of them for the way they kept their poise and finished the match. Once we found our fight, they were relentless whether in front or from behind.” During the second set, Norton moved into sole possession of fifth place on Arkansas’ alltime kills list. Norton finished with a match-high 20 kills and now has 1,390 kills in her career. After winning the opener, the visitors carried the momentum over into the second set and took an early 4-1 lead. Arkansas trailed by as much as four through the early stages of the set but fought back to tie the score at 18-all after back-to-back kills from Norton and Acosta. The Razorbacks grabbed their first lead of the set—22-21—after an attack error from Jarmoc. Kansas recovered and had set point at 24-23 but Acosta found the floor with a kill to keep the Razorbacks alive. The teams traded the next two points to remain even but Arkansas turned to its outside hitters to win the set. Norton had a kill out of the back row to give the home team set point and Acosta finished it off to send the Razorbacks into the locker room with a 27-25 win. The fourth set played out almost identical to the third. The Jayhawks took an early 10-6 lead to force Pulliza into a timeout. Their lead held steady and grew to five at 21-16 after another block. Arkansas responded by winning seven of the next nine points to pull even at 23-23. The Jayhawks were a point away from winning the set but wasted the opportunity with a service error. On Arkansas’ first set point, Acosta closed things out again, 26-24, with a kill. “Before the game, we talked about being ready because Kansas is a really good team,” Acosta said. “We had to fight all day long. Even with the scores so close, we just kept fighting and got the win. I just want to help my team win. That’s the first thing on my mind. Win, win, win and help my team.” Riding the momentum of their third-set comeback, the Razorbacks went out to a 6-2 lead and never trailed in the fourth game. Kills from Acosta and Janeliss Torres-Lopez forced an early timeout from Kansas with Arkansas ahead, 9-5. The Jayhawks pulled to within two later in the set but consecutive points in favor of the home team pushed the lead back to 19-15. On the team’s second match point, Norton posted her 20th and final kill of the night to secure the game, 25-21, and clinch the four-set win.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jasmine Norton and Roslandy Acosta had 14 and 10 kills, respectively, and the Razorback defense tallied 65 digs in a straight-set win (25-22, 25-22, 25-18) over Tulsa Tuesday evening at Barnhill Arena. Libero Emily Helm led the defensive charge with 22 digs—14 of those in the second set—against the Golden Hurricane, while three Razorbacks had at four total blocks. In the win, Norton and Raymariely Santos each posted a double-double performance. On a night when she reached 1,400 career kills, Norton added 11 digs for her third double-double of the season. Santos had 28 assists and 13 digs against Tulsa. Acosta registered a career-high .562 hitting percentage (10-1-16) in the match. “Tuesday matches are always tough coming off an emotional weekend,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “There’s always that possibility of a letdown on a Tuesday match but our players were ready in practice and with their preparation. They were ready when the whistle blew which I’m really proud of because there was no letdown. They are certainly hungry to keep getting better.” Trailing by five early in the first set, Arkansas (4-0) scored nine of the next 12 points and took a 12-11 lead on a kill out of the middle by Janeliss Torres-Lopez. The Razorbacks extended their advantage to 17-14 after a TU attack error which forced the visitors into their first timeout of the match. After back-to-back kills from Tulsa (2-2), the Arkansas lead was down to two, 22-20. Norton responded with a pair of kills, and on the team’s second set point, Kasey Heckelman found to floor on a slide attack to clinch the opener, 25-22. After the teams traded points early in the second set, the Razorbacks used a quick push to take a 9-6 lead on a kill by Acosta. Arkansas maintained its lead throughout the set but the Golden Hurricane pulled to within one at 19-18 after an attack error from the home team. The Razorbacks responded with a five-point streak to separate and arrive at set point. After four straight points from Tulsa, Norton ended the set with her sixth kill of the game. Arkansas went into the locker room with another 25-22 set win. In the third set, the score was tied four times through the opening stages of the game before the Razorbacks used a three-point run to take control of play. The push was capped by a tandem block from Torres-Lopez and Santos. A kill off the right side from Liz Fortado pushed the lead to 13-10 and forced a visitor’s timeout. The lead remained steady and reached five, 22-17, after consecutive TU hitting miscues. On the team’s first match point, Fortado and Torres-Lopez teamed up for a block to seal the set, 25-18, and close out the match. “I thought we played really well defensively,” Helm said. “It was a start to how we want to define ourselves as a team with our defense. Everyone contributed tonight and that helped us get the win.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team registered a season-high .380 hitting percentage in Friday’s straight-set win over UMBC (25-16, 25-20, 25-7) on day one of the adidas/Michigan Challenge at Cliff Keen Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich. Roslandy Acosta led all hitters with a match-high 13 kills and Jasmine Norton added 11 kills. Paced by libero Emily Helm, Arkansas’ defense held the Retrievers to a .098 hitting percentage and had six players with at least four digs. With just one attack error on 15 attempts, Acosta posted a .800 hitting percentage which ties her for the third-best single-match performance in school history. The Razorback senior has at least 10 kills in all five matches this season. With her sixth kill of the match—a shot down the line into the deep corner—Norton moved into fourth place on Arkansas’ all-time kills list. She currently has 1,415 kills in her career. From her setter position, Raymariely Santos totaled 33 assists, five kills and four digs. Janeliss Torres-Lopez added six kills, a .545 hitting percentage (6-0-11) and three total blocks out of the middle. With the score tied at four-all in the first, Arkansas (5-0) reeled off six straight points to take control of the game. The Razorbacks pushed their lead to 19-11 after a service ace from Avery Lewis and a kill from Santos, forcing a second timeout from UMBC (2-4). Consecutive kills from Acosta brought the team to set point and an attack error by the Retrievers handed Arkansas the first set, 25-16. “From an attacking standpoint, (Roslandy) did some really good things,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “The numbers speak for themselves. The thing that impresses me most about her is she’s always finding ways to better herself. She hit .800 and she’s continuing to ask some really good questions after the match. That’s why she’s been successful.” After trading points early in the second set, the Razorbacks scored five of six points to take a 14-9 lead after a kill from Torres-Lopez. Norton found the floor later in the set to give her team an 18-13 lead and force another UMBC timeout. The Retrievers pulled to within three late in the set but Hayley Koop closed out the set, 25-20, with a kill and solo block on consecutive points. Arkansas trailed by two early in the third set but used an eight-point scoring run with Norton at the service line to take a 10-4 lead. After UMBC broke that streak, Kasey Heckelman stepped to the line for 12 straight points. By the time she was done serving, the Razorbacks had a 22-5 advantage. Acosta and Norton both had three kills in the set but Amanda Anderson had the final kill of the match to close out the set, 25-7, and seal the Razorbacks’ fifth win of the season. “Being our first road match in a different environment, I’m certainly pleased with the outcome,” Pulliza said. “The score in the third set (25-7) indicates we got better as the match went on. We were sloppy at times but were able to manage ourselves to execute. We have to clean it up in our first match tomorrow against Central Michigan, a very good team.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – In its first of two matches Saturday, the University of Arkansas volleyball team knocked off Central Michigan in three sets (25-21, 25-16, 25-15) on day two of the adidas/ Michigan Challenge in Ann Arbor, Mich. Jasmine Norton tallied a match-high 12 kills to lead the Razorback offense that posted a .363 hitting percentage against Central Michigan. Roslandy Acosta and Liz Fortado both had seven kills against Central Michigan. The two Razorback attackers only had one hitting error between them. Acosta hit .429 (7-1-14) while Fortado posted a .700 mark (7-0-10). Kasey Heckelman added six kills and a .545 hitting percentage (6-0-11) in the middle. Arkansas’ defense held the Chippewas to a .067 efficiency during the final two sets of the match. Libero Emily Helm led the team with eight digs and Janeliss Torres-Lopez had a match-high three total blocks. “That was a very good win,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “(Central Michigan) is an NCAA Tournament team from last year and we did some good things to get a win, and now we’re in position to win a tournament title. We have to be ready for the quick turnaround for our next match against another very good team in Michigan.” Arkansas (6-0) jumped out to an 8-2 lead in the first set and led by eight, 15-7, after an attack error from Central Michigan (2-3). The Chippewas pulled to within three later in the set but after a CMU attack error and a kill from Acosta, the Razorbacks built their advantage to 19-14. Norton brought the team to set point and two plays later, Fortado closed out the opener, 25-21, with a kill on the right side. The two teams opened the second set by trading points, but with the score tied at eightall, Arkansas reeled off seven straight points to take a 15-8 lead. During that stretch of points, the Razorbacks took advantage of five Central Michigan errors. Back-to-back kills from Fortado pushed the lead to 19-11, and on the team’s third chance to win the set, Acosta found the floor to clinch the game, 25-16, and give Arkansas the 2-0 match lead. The third set followed a similar pattern with the Razorbacks using a four-point push to distance from Central Michigan and take a 13-8 lead. Arkansas won seven of the next 10 points to increase its advantage to 19-11 after a kill from Acosta. The Chippewas got no closer than seven points the rest of the way and, on match point, handed the set, 25-15, and win to Arkansas with a bad-set violation. Saturday’s match was the Razorbacks’ third this season with a hitting percentage of .300 or higher. The offense improved in each set, capping the match with a .429 figure in the third set. Central Michigan posted a .290 hitting percentage in the opening set, but the Arkansas defense limited the opponent to hitting marks of .065 and .069 in the second and third sets, respectively.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – In the championship match of the 2012 adidas/Michigan Challenge, the University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a five-set decision to No. 22 Michigan (25-17, 2125, 25-22, 21-25, 18-16) at Cliff Keen Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Razorbacks had two match points in the fifth set before the home team eventually rallied for the win. The loss is Arkansas’ first of the season and drops the team’s record to 6-1 through the first two weeks of the year. Jasmine Norton led all players with 19 kills and added a career-high 24 digs to complete her fourth double-double performance of the season. Roslandy Acosta had 15 kills and freshman Liz Fortado tallied a career-high 10 kills in the loss. From her setter position, Raymariely Santos posted her third double-double of the season with 48 assists and 10 digs. She also registered a career-high seven total blocks. For their respective efforts during the weekend, Norton and Acosta earned spots on the all-tournament team. Libero Emily Helm tied for the team lead with 24 digs of her own and had a season-high six assists. The fourth Razorback with double-figure digs was Christa Alvarez with 13 digs. At the net, Kasey Heckelman had a match-high eight total blocks. Despite the loss, the Razorback defense finished the match with more digs (83-79) and more total blocks (16.0-5.0) than Michigan. “We played a good match, just not good enough,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We did some good things against a very good Michigan team, but in the end, it wasn’t enough tonight. We still have work to do to keep getting better. It’s another quick turnaround to get ready for Oklahoma on Tuesday back in Fayetteville.” In the decisive fifth set, Arkansas carried the momentum of winning the fourth and jumped out to a 5-2 lead. The quick start was capped by a block from Heckelman and Santos. The Wolverines responded with a 5-2 run of their own to even the score at 7-all. From that point, the score was tied on nine occasions. Arkansas arrived at its first match point, 14-13, after a kill from Acosta, and its second match point, 15-14, on another Heckelman-Santos block. The Razorbacks saved a Michigan match point with another kill from Acosta. However, on their second chance to win the match, the Wolverines watched an Arkansas attack land wide for the tournament victory. After the teams split the first two sets, Michigan regained control of the match by winning the third set, 25-22. The game was tied as late as 17-17. The home team used a quick three-point run to go ahead. The Razorbacks pulled to within two points on a kill by Norton but on Michigan’s second set point, Jennifer Cross found to floor to put the Wolverines ahead in the match. The fourth set played out similar to the second set won by the Razorbacks. The teams played to an even start and Arkansas took a 14-12 lead after consecutive attack errors from its opponent. A surge by the home team switched the score back into their favor, 20-18, after a kill by Molly Toon. Like the second set, the Razorbacks controlled the end of the set, winning seven of the final eight points in the set. Norton had a hand in the final three points with a pair of kills and a block with Heckelman.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a four-set decision (25-19, 18-25, 27-25, 25-18) to Oklahoma Tuesday evening in front of 1,012 fans at Barnhill Arena. In the loss, Jasmine Norton matched her season high with 19 kills and added 12 digs for her fifth double-double effort of the season. Raymariely Santos tallied a double-double of her own with 43 assists and 11 digs. Defensively, the Razorbacks were paced by 14 digs from libero Emily Helm and five total blocks by Kasey Heckelman. “We’re looking for fight, hard work and a commitment to being great,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “You can’t teach that. At some point, it has to be something you want to be. We have to find that. We’ve been doing some good things but we got a little complacent today. When you do that against a good team like Oklahoma, you get in trouble fast.” The teams traded points early and were tied for the sixth time when Liz Fortado found the floor to even the score at 11-all. However, Oklahoma made a quick push to go ahead 17-14 and force a timeout from Pulliza. The visitors maintained their advantage through the remainder of the opener and arrived at set point with a service ace. Arkansas saved one set point but the Sooners went on to close out the game, 25-19. The Razorbacks responded in the second set to even the match. With the score tied at seven, Arkansas reeled off six points in a row to take a 13-7 lead. During that run, the home team picked up three kills from Norton and a pair of tandem blocks from Fortado and Heckelman. The Razorbacks’ largest lead of the set was eight—20-12—after a block from Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez. On the team’s second set point, Santos buried a second-touch kill to clinch the game, 25-18. Out of the break, Arkansas jumped out to an early lead in the third set and jumped out to a 13-8 lead after consecutive kills from Norton. The visitors called their first timeout of the game with the Razorbacks leading, 17-14. Oklahoma went on a 4-0 scoring run late in the set to even the score at 20-20, but Arkansas responded to win four of the next six points to arrive at set point. The Sooners saved both set points and on their second chance to win the game, took the match lead with a 27-25 win. Oklahoma carried the momentum into the fourth set and went out to an early 10-4 lead. Facing deficits as large as seven throughout the game, the Razorbacks chipped away but never got closer than four points. In one final push, Arkansas pulled to within four—Oklahoma leading, 19-15—to force a timeout from Oklahoma. But the visitors withstood the challenge and won the final three points of the set, ending the match with a service ace.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In its first match of the Razorback Invitational, the University of Arkansas volleyball team posted a three-set win over Houston Baptist (25-17, 25-16, 25-18) Friday evening at Barnhill Arena. Jasmine Norton had a match-high 13 kills, Liz Fortado and Hayley Koop each added nine kills and the Razorback offense posted a .336 hitting percentage. From her setter position, Raymariely Santos notched her fifth double-double of the season with 33 assists and 11 digs. “We came out ready and executed,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “You can tell by the numbers with a .336 hitting percentage and 55 digs. Those two numbers are pretty impressive on the offensive and defensive ends. I thought we had good balance throughout the night and did some good things.” With her seventh kill of the match, Norton moved into third place on the program’s all-time kills list, passing Kim Storey (1995-98, 1,471 kills) in the process. She now has 1,478 kills in her career and is 22 away from becoming the third player in Arkansas volleyball history to reach the 1,500 mark. Santos reached a career milestone of her own in Friday’s match against the Huskies. The junior setter is the fifth player in school history to eclipse 2,000 career assists. With Friday’s effort, Santos now has 2,031 assists in her Razorback career. Arkansas (7-2) controlled the opening set with a blistering .484 hitting percentage. Fortado registered the first three kills of the match for the Razorbacks and the home team led 11-7 after consecutive kills from Norton and Koop. The lead reached seven—17-10—after an HBU attack error. The visitors called their second timeout after a service ace by Monica Bollinger gave Arkansas a 22-14 lead. On the Razorbacks’ first set point, Norton found the floor to secure the opener, 25-17. In the second set, Arkansas won five of the first seven points to maintain its momentum. Houston Baptist (6-3) pulled to within two early but a quick three-point push gave the Razorbacks a 14-8 lead and forced a timeout from the Huskies. Later in the set, the home team took advantage of three HBU miscues in a four-point window to take a 19-10 lead. Fortado and Janeliss TorresLopez teamed up for a block to give Arkansas set point. Two points later, Koop clinched the set—25-16—with her second kill of the game. After a quick start by the Razorbacks to start the third, the visitors rallied to pull within one at 12-11. In the final decisive move of the match, Arkansas responded with four straight points to regain control of play. The Razorbacks reached 20 after back-to-back kills on the outside by Norton and Koop, respectively. Like she did to start the night, Fortado pounded consecutive kills to close out the third set—25-18—and the match. “We learned a lot from our last match,” Santos said. “We’ve been working the last few days on how we need to get ready for the next match, and how every match is important. I think we did a good job of that today. We handled the situation well, and now just need to get ready for two matches tomorrow.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team began day two of the Razorback Invitational with a straight-set victory over ULM (25-22, 25-15, 25-10) at Barnhill Arena. Freshman opposite Liz Fortado led all players with a career-high 12 kills and junior setter Raymariely Santos posted her sixth double-double of the season with 26 assists and a match-high 14 digs. The Razorbacks limited ULM to a .010 hitting percentage in Saturday’s match. “Any time you can win the 11 a.m. match, it’s a good start to the day,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “It can be tricky especially after playing the 7 p.m. match last night. We did a good job of getting prepared after the match last night and took care of business this morning.” The visitors jumped out to an early lead in the first set, winning seven of the first nine points of the match but Arkansas (8-2) began to chip away and pulled even at 13-all on a solo block by Kasey Heckelman. The block came in the middle of a six-point run that saw the Razorbacks take a 15-13 lead. After a quick push by ULM (3-4), the teams traded points until the score was tied again at 21-all. Arkansas won four of the final five points to win the set, 25-21, on a kill by Fortado. In the second set, the Razorback jumped out to a 6-1 lead and never trailed in the game. After a tandem block by Hayley Koop and Janeliss Torres-Lopez, the home team took a 13-5 lead to force a ULM timeout. Arkansas continued to build on its lead, which reached double figures—22-12—on an attack error by the Warhawks. Fortado once again found the floor on set point to give Arkansas the 2-0 match lead. The Razorbacks scored six of seven points to take a 10-5 lead after an even start to the third set. Arkansas used a 12-0 run later in the set to put the game and match out of reach. Seven of the 12 points during that run came by way of Warhawk errors. Back-to-back kills from Fortado brought the team to match point and fellow freshman Summer Morgan sealed the win with a kill out of the middle.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In its final match before the start of conference play, the University of Arkansas volleyball team defeated UTEP in four sets (28-26, 25-22, 16-25, 25-17) Saturday evening to win the Razorback Invitational title. Following the match, Raymariely Santos was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player and Emily Helm earned Outstanding Libero honors. Liz Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez were selected to the all-tournament team. Santos finished the match with 44 assists and 10 digs for her third double-double of the weekend and seventh of the season. She added four kills and four total blocks to her night’s work. Jasmine Norton had a team-high 14 kills while Torres-Lopez tallied 12 kills on a .632 hitting percentage against the Miners. Helm equaled the match high with 18 digs. “We had a good win tonight,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Three wins in one weekend is not easy, especially against a UTEP team that is doing really good things. I think they’re going to have a good year and feel fortunate to have gotten out with a win today. It was a great team effort today.” UTEP (4-5) jumped out to an early 5-1 lead in the first set but Arkansas (9-2) began to chip away and eventually tied the score at 13-all on a Miners’ attack error. In a set marked by sideouts and back-and-forth play, the opening game was tied 13 times. The Razorbacks fought off three set points, the last with an overpass kill by Hayley Koop. The final two kills of the set came off the hand of Norton to clinch the set, 28-26. Arkansas controlled the opening stages of play in the second set, using a tandem block from Norton and Torres-Lopez to take a 10-6 lead and force a UTEP timeout. The visitors pulled even at 14-all but the Razorbacks re-established their lead at 19-15 after an attack effort from UTEP. Arkansas maintained its advantage and on the team’s second chance to close out the set, Santos tallied a second-contact kill. In the third set, the home team won seven of the first 10 points but the Miners responded and evened the score at 12-all with a block from Xitlali Herrera and Malia Patterson. The block started a four-point spurt for UTEP in which they took the lead for good behind an overall 8-1 run. The Miners, who hit .455 in the third, went on to win the game, 25-16. The two teams exchanged points to begin the fourth set and were tied at 10-10 after a Razorback attack error. UTEP returned the favor with an error from the service line and Arkansas took the lead, 11-10. The home team never trailed after that point. Arkansas’ lead hit five—1914—after Fortado and Torres-Lopez teamed up for a block. The Razorbacks won the final three points of the match, clinching the win with another Miner miscue. “It’s good that we’re going into SEC play with a good win this weekend,” Santos said. “How we come out to practice Monday is going to be very important because that’s going to lead us into how we play next Friday against Florida. I feel like we’re in a really good position right now.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Playing in front of a school-record 3,015 fans at Barnhill Arena, the University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a five-set thriller to No. 13 Florida (23-25, 25-22, 25-22, 19-25, 15-13) Friday evening. The Razorbacks were paced by a double-double performance from Jasmine Norton, while Raymariely Santos dished out 54 assists and libero Emily Helm had a team-high 15 digs. Norton collected her seventh double-double of the season with a match-high 22 kills and 14 digs. She registered a .312 hitting percentage (22-7-48) against the Gators. Roslandy Acosta totaled 16 kills and Liz Fortado added 11 kills. In her first start of the season, Amanda Anderson had 13 kills on a .423 hitting percentage. Freshman Monica Bollinger tallied a season-high 12 digs. “I don’t think we played poor, (Florida) just played better,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “That was a championship-level match out there today. It didn’t go our way but I’m proud of our kids for the way they prepared and fought.” In the decisive fifth set, Florida (7-2, 1-0 SEC) won the first three points and led, 8-4, when the teams switched sides. Arkansas (9-3, 0-1 SEC) won the first two points after the switching, forcing a Gator timeout after a tandem block from Santos and Janeliss Torres-Lopez. The visitors increased their lead to five and eventually led, 13-9, after a kill from Tangerine Wiggs. With the record crowd on its feet, the Razorbacks reeled off three straight points and pulled to within one point off a UF attack error. Facing its first of two match points, Arkansas stayed alive with a kill off the hand of Anderson. However, the Gators got the final bounce to close out the set, 15-13, and the match off another kill from Wiggs. The Razorbacks opened the match with a .366 hitting percentage to win the first set, 2523. The score was tied late in the opener, but back-to-back kills from Fortado and Norton clinched the set win. With her first kill of the match, Norton recorded the 1,500th kill of her career, joining the program list that includes Denitza Koleva (1,595 kills) and all-time leader Krystal Osborne (2,185 kills).Florida responded to take a 2-1 match lead after identical 25-22 game scores. One set away from defeat, Arkansas used an eight-point surge to take a 15-9 lead in the fourth game. With Bollinger at the service line, the Razorbacks turned a two-point deficit into a six-point advantage. The home team was aided by three blocks during the stretch. Later in the set, Acosta found the floor to push the lead to nine, 24-15, and give Arkansas a handful of chances to even the match. On their fifth opportunity, the Razorbacks closed out the set, 25-19, on a kill out of the middle from Torres-Lopez. Friday’s crowd of 3,015 more than doubled the old school mark, previously established at 1,407 fans last year in the season opener against Colorado State. Three of the top 10 attendance figures in school history have been posted this season. After the match, the Razorback faithful held a pep rally for the Arkansas’ football game Saturday against No. 1 Alabama. “Our fans really showed the Hog pride tonight,” Anderson said. “You feel the love and the energy from them. We feel privileged to have that for our volleyball games. You can’t even describe how awesome it feels to play in front of a crowd like that.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – With a final kill out of the middle by Janeliss Torres-Lopez, the University of Arkansas volleyball sealed a four-set victory (25-21, 20-25, 25-17, 25-17) over No. 21 Tennessee Friday evening in Knoxville. The win is the Razorbacks’ first against UT since 2007. That season was also the last time Arkansas defeated a ranked team. Jasmine Norton paced the Razorbacks with 12 kills and 12 digs, good for her eighth doubledouble performance of the season. Raymariely Santos also posted her eighth double-double with 38 assists and 11 digs. Arkansas (10-3, 1-1 SEC) registered a .266 hitting percentage and had five players with at least seven kills. Defensively, the Razorbacks tallied 16.0 total blocks and limited Tennessee to a .150 hitting percentage. Junior libero Emily Helm led all players with 18 digs and Amanda Anderson tied her career high with eight total blocks. “It was certainly an exciting win tonight,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We did the right things and executed our match plan. I thought we stayed composed and played hard. We played like a team. We’re a powerful group when we play together. I’m proud of our kids and we’re proud of this win because we know we beat a quality team in Tennessee.” After an even start to the match with neither team gaining more than a two-point lead, the Lady Volunteers made a push to take a 15-12 lead. Arkansas responded with a four-point run to take the lead after a UT attack error. Tennessee (8-4, 1-2 SEC) put together a quick run of its own to take an 18-16 lead but the Razorbacks used their block to make the definitive move of the opener. During a six-point surge, Arkansas had four total blocks—all four involving Torres-Lopez. The Razorbacks led 22-18 at the end of the streak of points. The home team pulled to within two at 23-21 but Arkansas arrived at set point after an attack error from Kelsey Robinson. On the team’s first chance to clinch the opener, Norton found the floor to close out the set, 25-21. The home team responded and jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the second set. The Razorbacks pulled to within two points and trailed 11-9 after back-to-back kills from Norton and Roslandy Acosta. Tennessee re-established control with a four-point run and forced an Arkansas timeout. The Lady Volunteers carried the momentum to a 25-20 set win to even the match. Out of intermission, the Razorbacks won the first four points of the third set with kills from Norton and Liz Fortado and a pair of blocks featuring Anderson. Tennessee made a charge to pull to within one but Arkansas never relinquished the lead. After an attack error from UT, the Razorback advantage was 17-11 and the Lady Volunteers had to call a timeout. The visitors maintained their lead and on its first set point, Arkansas closed it out, 25-17, with a kill from Acosta. The Razorbacks had another quick start in the fourth set, jumping out to an 8-2 lead with the help of three blocks. After a timeout, Tennessee closed its deficit to two but Arkansas held steady to take a five-point lead at 15-10 after a kill from Fortado. Consecutive attack errors from the Lady Vols increased the lead to eight. Santos put away her fifth kill of the match to give the Razorbacks a handful of match points, 24-15. On the team’s third chance to seal the win, TorresLopez slammed her ninth kill of the match to close it out.

ATHENS, Ga. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team posted a straight-set win over Georgia (25-16, 25-23, 25-18) Sunday afternoon at the Ramsey Center in Athens, Ga. The Razorbacks were paced by a match-high 12 kills from Roslandy Acosta and held the Bulldogs to a .067 hitting percentage. With the win, Arkansas improved to 11-3 overall and 2-1 through the first two weekends of Southeastern Conference play. “It was a good win for us today,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Our players were focused all match and knew what needed to be done. It was a great match for them and I’m very proud of the way they played today against Georgia. We had great balance throughout the match. Raymariely did a great job running the show and our passers did a good job of working to make things happen.” Trailing by a point early in the first set, the Razorbacks reeled off seven points in a row to take a 9-3 lead. During the run, Acosta had three kills and Jasmine Norton collected a service ace. The Razorbacks maintained their advantage and increased the lead to double digits, 18-8, on a kill by Raymariely Santos. Acosta brought the team to set point with her seventh kill of the game. On the next point, Liz Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez teamed up for a block to close out the set. In the second set, the score was tied seven times early before Arkansas took a 13-12 lead off an Amanda Anderson kill. The Razorbacks held on to the lead for the remainder of the game. An ace by Ashley Vazquez and kill from Acosta extended the lead to 18-13, forcing a timeout from Georgia (8-5, 2-2 SEC). Norton and Torres-Lopez combined for a block to give Arkansas set point, 24-17. The Bulldogs won the next six points but Norton found the floor on the team’s seventh set point to end the threat and give her team a 2-0 match lead. The home team took an early 6-4 lead in the third set but Arkansas fought back to take an 8-7 lead after a block from Fortado and Torres-Lopez. As they did in the second, the Razorbacks maintained the lead for the rest of the way. Emily Helm had an ace to give her team a 21-16 lead and force Georgia into its final timeout of the match. Three of the next four points for the Razorbacks came on kills by Norton, including the match winner. After a slow start Sunday, the Razorback senior tallied seven of her nine kills in the third set. “If you want to win championships, you have to be able to win on the road,” Pulliza said. “That’s a reality for any team. We want to win a championship. That is something we’ve talked about. It’s one of our goals and we’re working hard to get there.” With the win, Arkansas improved to 4-1 in matches played away from Fayetteville. The team began the weekend with a four-set win against No. 21 Tennessee in Knoxville, the program’s first win on the Lady Volunteers’ home court since the 2007 season.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team posted a straight-set win over Auburn (25-22, 25-18, 25-17) Friday night in front of 1,027 fans at Barnhill Arena. In a balanced performance, six players had at least five kills and the Razorbacks registered 10.0 total team blocks. Roslandy Acosta led all players with 10 kills. Defensively, Jasmine Norton had a matchhigh 12 digs, while Liz Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez each tallied six total blocks. “Anytime you win, it’s a good thing in this league,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Our kids did a great job tonight of being a team. We were a great team today and have been talking about being there for each other. I’m very proud of them for that. We didn’t start out playing great volleyball but we were playing together and kept getting better as the match went on.” In addition to Acosta, the Razorbacks got eight kills from Amanda Anderson, seven from Torres-Lopez and Raymariely Santos, six from Norton and five from Fortado. Arkansas posted a collective .277 hitting percentage and limited the Tigers to a .118 efficiency. Arkansas (12-3, 3-1 SEC) opened the match with consecutive tandem blocks by Fortado and Torres-Lopez. The visitors responded to take a 7-5 lead but the teams traded the lead throughout the middle stages of the set. With Auburn (12-2, 3-2 SEC) leading 19-17, the Razorbacks took the lead with a three-point surge capped by an AU attack error. The home team went on to score the final three points of the set including another block, this time from Fortado and Anderson. Like the opener, the second set was an early back-and-forth affair that featured 10 ties until the Razorbacks took control with a four-point run to take a 20-16 lead. Acosta had a pair of kills during the run. The Arkansas block reared its head again with two blocks late in the set, both featuring Torres-Lopez. On the team’s first chance to close out the set, a serve from junior libero Emily Helm trickled over the net to secure a 2-0 match lead. The Razorbacks’ offense was the story of the third set with the team posting a .438 hitting percentage behind 11 assists from Santos. With the score tied at 4-all, Arkansas scored 10 of the next 11 points to take a 14-5 advantage. Auburn pulled to within three—Arkansas leading, 16-13—after a block to force a timeout out of Pulliza. The home team responded to take a 20-14 lead on a solo block from Anderson. On match point, Fortado found the floor to seal the set and the match sweep. “I feel like tonight we grew as a team,” Santos said. “We’ve been playing together as a team lately and been successful. We helped each other and found a way. It wasn’t always pretty. It was up-and-down sometimes but we were there for each other and that’s how we got the win.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team rallied to beat LSU in four sets Sunday afternoon in front of 1,038 fans at Barnhill Arena. The Razorbacks registered a .310 hitting percentage in the match with 15 kills each from Roslandy Acosta and Janeliss Torres-Lopez. With the victory, Arkansas improved to 13-3 overall and 4-1 in Southeastern Conference play. Running the show from her setter position, Raymariely Santos had her ninth double-double of the season with 47 assists and 14 digs. Amanda Anderson totaled a season-high 14 kills and added four total blocks. Defensively, Jasmine Norton led all players with 16 digs. “Different people keep stepping up at different times,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “I’m very proud of our team effort. As a unit, I thought we did some really good stuff, especially in sets three and four. Our collective effort got better which led to everything else getting better.” Arkansas held the early advantage in the opener, taking an 8-5 lead on a service ace from Santos. The visitors rallied to take a 17-13 lead after a four-point surge. LSU (6-9, 2-4 SEC) arrived at set point with its largest lead of the game, 24-18. The Razorbacks saved three set points to force a timeout but on the next point, LSU closed out the set, 25-21. The second set featured back-and-forth play with neither team gaining more than a threepoint lead—Arkansas at 12-9—and 11 ties. With the score tied at 21-all, the Razorbacks reeled off the final four points to even the match at one set each. During that stretch, Arkansas took advantage of two LSU errors including a ball-handling error on set point. The home team jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead in the third set after consecutive service aces from Christa Alvarez. The Tigers responded to tie the game at 7-all with an ace of their own. With the score tied at 8-8, Arkansas used a four-point push to force an LSU timeout. The Razorbacks’ lead reached six, 19-13, after a kill from Anderson. LSU pulled to within three on several occasions down the stretch but a kill from Torres-Lopez on set point gave Arkansas a 2-1 match lead. Despite an even start between the teams in the fourth set, the Razorbacks never trailed in the game. Another four-point surge by Arkansas pushed the lead to 14-9 after consecutive kills from Anderson and Santos. Out of an LSU timeout, the Razorbacks extended their advantage to seven—17-10—with the help of back-to-back kills from Acosta. On the team’s second chance to close out the match, Norton found the floor with her ninth kill to seal the four-set win. “We’ve really been practicing hard,” Acosta said. “We know LSU is a good team but when we are playing together, we’ve been doing great. So the key for us was to play together as a team. That is how we came in today to get the win.” After hitting .167 in the opener, Arkansas registered a .376 hitting percentage over the final three sets. Sunday’s match is the Razorbacks’ fifth offensive performance over .300, and first since hitting. .336 against Houston Baptist on Sept. 7.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a straight-set decision to No. 11 Florida (25-23, 25-18, 25-15) Friday evening at the O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Fla. With the loss, the Razorbacks drop to 13-4 overall and 4-2 in Southeastern Conference play. The Gators improve to 12-2 overall and 6-0 in league action. The Razorbacks were paced offensively by nine kills each from Amanda Anderson and Jasmine Norton. Roslandy Acosta and Liz Fortado each added eight kills to the Arkansas attack. Fortado had a team-high .312 hitting percentage against the Gators. Defensively, Norton led the team with 10 digs with libero Emily Helm tallying nine digs from her libero position. Anderson was the team’s top defender at the net with three total blocks. After an even start between the two teams, the Razorbacks took an early 13-9 lead off a Norton kill which forced a timeout from Florida head coach Mary Wise. Out of the timeout, the Gators won five of the next six points to even the score at 14-all. With the Razorbacks trailing by two, the team scored three straight points to take a 21-20 lead. Out of a timeout, the Gators responded with three points in a row to regain the lead. Facing two set points, Arkansas saved the first with a kill from Norton but Florida went on to close out the opener, 25-23. Back-to-back blocks for Arkansas and a kill on the slide from Anderson gave the Razorbacks an early 8-5 lead in the second set. After a handful of back-and-forth rallies, the home team pushed ahead 12-9 to force a timeout from head coach Robert Pulliza. Facing a five-point deficit later in the set, the Razorbacks pushed back to within one—Florida leading, 17-16—after a tip shot from Norton found the floor. However, the Gators regained control and won eight of the last 10 points of the set to take a 2-0 match lead. Looking for an early spark out of the locker room, the Razorbacks took an early 4-1 lead in the third set. As it had in the previous sets, Florida erased the early deficit to get back into the set. With the score tied at 8-all, the Gators won eight of the next 11 points to take a 16-11 lead. Pulliza called his second timeout of the set to try and stop the run. However, continued to build on its advantage and reached match point after a solo block. The Razorbacks saved one match point with a kill from Fortado before losing the game, 25-15, and match.

OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team capped its weekend road trip with a four-set win at Ole Miss (22-25, 25-16, 25-21, 25-13) Sunday afternoon at the Gillom Sports Center in Oxford, Miss. The Razorbacks had three players with double-digit kills, paced by a matchhigh 18 kills from Jasmine Norton and a career-high 16 kills from Amanda Anderson. Roslandy Acosta added 14 kills and libero Emily Helm led the defense with a match-high 16 digs. For the sixth time this season, Norton and Raymariely Santos posted double-double performances in the same match. Norton finished the match with 18 kills and 12 digs, while Santos dished out 52 assists and had 10 digs to complete her 10th double-double of the season. With her third kill of the match Sunday, Norton registered her 1,000th career kill in SEC play “This is a tough place to play, especially on a Sunday,” head coach Robert Pulliza. “We know Ole Miss is always going to fight and be very physical. I’m proud of the fact that our players got themselves ready to come and do the things they needed to do.” After trailing throughout the opening stages of the first set and falling behind by as many a three points, the Razorbacks pulled even at 17-17 with an overpass kill from Janeliss Torres-Lopez. Out of an Ole Miss timeout, the home team responded with two straight points to force a timeout out of Arkansas head coach Robert Pulliza. Arkansas came back to take its first lead of the match, 20-19, with a kill down the line from Liz Fortado. However, the Rebels won six of the final nine points of the set to take the opener, 25-22. Arkansas built an early three-point lead in the second set, but the home team rallied to take control of play and take a 13-10 lead. From that point, however, the set belonged to the Razorbacks. Arkansas won 15 of the last 18 points of the set to clinch the game, 25-16, with a kill on the outside by Acosta. Still looking to get the offense rolling, the Razorback defense played a big part in the outcome, limiting Ole Miss to just six kills and a -.065 hitting percentage in the set. The Razorbacks went ahead 13-8 in the third set after back-to-back kills in transition from Norton. She totaled eight kills in the set. Ole Miss was forced into its second timeout of the set after a back row kill from Norton put Arkansas ahead, 21-15. The Rebels pulled to within three late but on the team’s second set point, Anderson found the floor to close out the game, 25-21. Anderson and Norton combined for 14 of the Razorbacks 18 kills in the third. One set from a win, Arkansas jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the fourth set after a kill from Anderson. Later during the early set run, Acosta posted three consecutive kills to give Arkansas a 12-3 lead and force an Ole Miss timeout. The Rebels fought back to pull to within four points but the Razorbacks never allowed them to get closer. Holding a 17-13 advantage, Arkansas rattled off the final eight points of the match, capped by a service ace by Norton.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a five-set decision to Texas A&M (21-25, 25-15, 25-16, 23-25, 15-3) Friday evening in front of 942 fans at Barnhill Arena. In the loss, the Razorbacks had double-digit kill performances from Jasmine Norton, Amanda Anderson and Roslandy Acosta, but were held to a .087 hitting percentage as a team. “Texas A&M is a good team and a proven winner,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Tonight, we were inconsistent. When you’re inconsistent this happens. (Texas A&M) played hard all match, whether they were in front or behind. We played hard sometimes. When you play a very good team, you can’t be average.” With her 12th kill of the match, Norton moved into sole possession of second place on the program’s all-time list. She moved past Denitza Koleva (2003-06) who finished her Razorback career with 1,595 kills. Norton began the year in sixth place on the career list. With her performance Friday night against the Aggies, Norton currently has 1,601 career kills. The program record of 2,185 kills belongs to Krystal Osborne (1994-97). In the fifth and decisive set, Texas A&M (15-2, 7-1 SEC) scored the first five points of the game before Anderson registered a kill to break the Aggies’ run. However, the visitor remained in control and led 9-2 to force an Arkansas (14-5, 5-3 SEC) timeout. Texas A&M took advantage of eight Razorback attack errors in the final set to close out the match with a 15-3 game score. “Tonight was a very tough loss,” Anderson said. “It was our first time ever playing (Texas A&M) and to play like that is obviously not what we wanted. It just proves that we have to keep working hard. If we want any respect, we’re going to have to work hard and finish games.” After trading points to start the match, Arkansas broke a 5-all tie with three straight points to take the lead for good in the opening set. Liz Fortado found the floor with her fourth kill of the night to give the Razorbacks a 13-8 lead and force a Texas A&M timeout. The home team’s lead reached seven—18-11—after an Ashley Vazquez service ace. The visitors responded with a late charge and pulled to within two but Arkansas scored three of the final four points to clinch game one, 25-21. The Aggies controlled play in the second and third sets, jumping out to early leads in both games to seize momentum. In game two, Arkansas trailed by as many as 10 but clawed back to within four on two occasions. However, Texas A&M responded each time and took the sets to put the Razorbacks one game from a loss. Arkansas reversed its fortunes in the fourth set, building a 13-8 lead after consecutive attack errors by the Aggies. Later in the set, Norton extended the team’s lead to 19-12 with an overpass kill to force an A&M timeout. Like they did in the first set, the Aggies fought back and pulled to within one—23-22—before Norton had a kill on Arkansas’ second set point. “We just didn’t play together as a team,” libero Emily Helm said. “It was up and down and nobody was playing for each other. That’s not what we’re about. We’re a team and we thrive on our chemistry, but tonight we just didn’t bring it.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team closed out its weekend with a three-set loss to Tennessee (25-22, 25-22, 25-16) Sunday afternoon at Barnhill Arena. With the loss, the Razorbacks fall to 14-6 overall and 5-4 in Southeastern Conference play. Jasmine Norton finished the match with a team-high 13 kills, while Raymariely Santos registered her 11th double-double of the season with 33 assists and 12 digs. Junior libero Emily Helm led all players with 19 digs. “I felt like we were too up and down,” Santos said. “I’m not sure if we were still thinking about that loss Friday but we have to come out to practice and be ready to go hard because whenever we play together, we’re a great unit. I feel like that’s missing right now. We need to find that great unit that we know we are in order to be successful.” Acosta added 12 kills and six digs, while Norton tallied nine digs to go along with her offensive output. At the net, Torres-Lopez had a team-high four total blocks, her 13th match of the season with at least four blocks. Trailing by two early in the first set, Arkansas scored five in a row to take an 18-15 lead. The streak of points was capped by a tandem block from Liz Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez. Tennessee (13-5, 6-3 SEC) responded to even the score at 19-all but the Razorbacks scored two straight out of a timeout to take a late-set lead. However, with the score tied at 22-22, the visitors won the last three points to secure the opening game. Arkansas jumped out to an early lead in the second set, winning five of the first six points with the help of three Tennessee attack errors. The home team used another surge of points later in the set to take a 12-8 lead after a kill from Roslandy Acosta. With the score tied at 17-all, the Lady Vols scored seven of the next eight points. The Razorbacks saved four set points before Tennessee clinched the 25-22 set win and took a 2-0 match lead. In the third set, the Lady Vols never trailed after the score was tied at 4-4. Arkansas stayed within a point through the early stages of the game but another Tennessee surge—a seven-point run—made the difference. The visitors’ lead reached as high as nine points. Arkansas started to chip away after back-to-back kills from Acosta and Fortado. Tennessee maintained the momentum, however, and closed out the match with a 25-16 game.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Behind a .330 hitting percentage, the University of Arkansas volleyball team knocked off Kentucky in straight sets (25-23, 25-23, 25-20) Friday evening at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington. The Razorbacks’ win snapped a 10-match skid against Kentucky and was the program’s first win on the Wildcats’ home floor since the 2003 season. With the win, Arkansas improves to 15-6 overall and 6-4 in Southeastern Conference play. The Razorbacks were paced by a match-high 16 kills from Jasmine Norton and 14 kills from Roslandy Acosta. From her setter position, Raymariely Santos notched her 12th double-double of the season with 33 assists and a season-high 15 digs. The team also got eight kills from Amanda Anderson and seven from freshman Liz Fortado who did not commit an error in 13 attacks. Led by Santos’ defensive efforts, Arkansas had five players with at least four digs. “We were a great unit tonight,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We’ve talked about that being our strength: having strength in numbers, playing hard and playing together. We lost a little bit of that and got comfortable for about a week but the character of a team shows after a defeat. We showed tonight that we have great character.” The Razorbacks took the early lead and had a one-point advantage when Kentucky went on a four-point run to take a 19-16 lead. Out of a timeout by head coach Pulliza, Arkansas scored two quick points to close the deficit and eventually took the lead, 22-21, on a kill by Norton. The Wildcats evened the score at 23-all, but Arkansas tallied the final two kills of the set from Anderson and Acosta to clinch the opener. The Razorbacks registered a .371 hitting percentage in the first set. The second set played out almost exactly like the opener with the teams battling to a 13-13 tie. Kentucky jumped out to a 10-4 lead before the Razorbacks began to cut into their deficit and eventually pull even on a kill by Norton. From that point, the score was tied five times with the final occurrence coming at 23-all. Acosta gave Arkansas set point with another kill and a UK attack error on the next point sent the visitors into intermission with a 2-0 match lead. In the third set, Arkansas carried the momentum back onto the floor and jumped out to a five-point lead. Norton powered through the Wildcat block to give the Razorbacks an 11-6 lead and force a timeout from UK head coach Craig Skinner. Arkansas pushed its lead to 15-8 after a service ace from Monica Bollinger. Facing a seven-point deficit, Kentucky scored five in a row to pull to within two but the Razorbacks responded to regain a five-point advantage, 20-15. Fortado gave the team a handful of match points with her first career service ace. Kentucky saved the first with a kill out of the middle, but on the next play, Santos delivered the ball out to Norton who put the ball away to secure the road victory.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team posted its second win of the weekend with a straight-set performance (25-18, 25-10, 25-16) Sunday against Mississippi State at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville. The Razorbacks had three players—Roslandy Acosta, Liz Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez—with double-digit kills and libero Emily Helm matched her season high with 24 digs. “I’m proud of our players for a great weekend,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “It’s tough to win two in a weekend, especially on the road in the SEC. Overall, we did really well preparing ourselves to get ready to play against a Mississippi State team that is very hungry. We did some really good things today, so I’m proud of our performance.” With her 10th assist of the match—a delivery out to Jasmine Norton—Raymariely Santos registered her 2,500th career assists. The Ponce, Puerto Rico, native is the fifth setter in program history to reach the career milestone. Norton posted a milestone, as well, with her 1,000th career dig. She joins the list of 1,000 kill-1,000 dig performers in program history that already includes Krystal Osborne, Denitza Koleva, Kim Storey, Denise Baez and Yarleen Santiago. The Razorbacks jumped out to an early lead Sunday, winning five of the first six points in the match and taking a 13-7 lead on an overpass kill by Amanda Anderson to force a Mississippi State timeout. The visitors kept the pressure and built their lead to nine, 17-8, after back-to-back kills from Acosta. The Bulldogs pulled to within four later in the set but got no closer. On the team’s third chance to close out the set, Torres-Lopez found the floor to clinch the game, 25-18. The home team held the lead early in the second set, leading by as much as three before Hayley Koop checked in with a kill to even the score at 7-all. That play was at the start of a tenpoint streak that saw the Razorbacks take a 15-7 lead after a kill from Torres-Lopez. Another kill by the Razorback senior doubled up Mississippi State, 18-9, to force a timeout. Arkansas won the final seven points of the set, clinching the 2-0 match lead on a double-contact call on the MSU setter. The start of the third set featured back-and-forth play with five ties until the teams were tied at 9-9. From that point, the Razorbacks scored five in a row with Helm at the service line. During the scoring run, Fortado had two kills and Norton had three. Acosta found the floor with her final kill of the match to give Arkansas an 18-13 lead, forcing a Bulldog timeout. Fortado’s 11th kill brought the team to match point. The Razorbacks went on to secure the sweep by way of a Mississippi State service error. The Razorbacks’ win Sunday gave the program 33 victories against Mississippi State, the most against any Southeastern Conference opponent. The win also pushed Arkansas’ win streak against the Bulldogs to four in a row and marked the program’s 15th all-time win in Starkville.

Time is winding down and you have to enjoy every moment you have with each other being a Razorback. They stepped up (in the fifth set) and found a way to win. I’m very proud of this tough win.” With the match score tied at two sets apiece, the Arkansas offense posted a .400 hitting percentage in the decisive fifth set. Alabama (14-10, 3-9 SEC) won the first two points of the set before the Razorbacks responded with five of the next six points to take the lead. The teams switched sides with Arkansas leading, 8-5.

During the push, Arkansas got a kill and service ace from Norton. Later in the game, the visitors pulled to within two points with the Razorbacks still leading 18-16. Pulliza called a timeout to stop the Alabama run. Arkansas re-establish a five-point lead—23-18—after a consecutive second-contact kills by Santos. The Razorbacks won four of the final five points of the set to clinch the opener, using an Alabama service error on the second set point to close out the opener, 25-19. The home team registered a .423 hitting percentage in the first set. After trailing through the early stages of the second set, the Razorbacks evened the score at 10-all with a tandem block from Anderson and Fortado and a kill from Norton. Arkansas took a 15-12 lead after back-to-back kills from Acosta and Santos. Out of an Alabama timeout, Santos and Janeliss Torres-Lopez teamed up for a block. Another block, a solo swat by Anderson, pushed the Arkansas lead to 23-16 and forced a second timeout from Crimson Tide head coach. Norton gave the Razorbacks a handful of set points with a kill and on the next play, an Anderson-Santos block secured the set, 25-17, and gave Arkansas the 2-0 match lead.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team pushed its winning streak to four Sunday afternoon with a three-set win (25-23, 25-13, 25-15) over Missouri at Barnhill Arena. The Razorbacks registered a season-best .407 hitting percentage in the win. Roslandy Acota had 12 kills to lead a trio of double-digit performers. Defensively, libero Emily Helm had a match-high 10 digs and Janeliss Torres-Lopez led all players with six total blocks. “I thought we played really well today,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “Looking at the numbers, not only do they show we played well but it shows we played like a team. When you hit really high offensive numbers, in terms of kills and averages, it’s all a collective effort. I thought we were a great unit today. Down the stretch, every win is a good win. I have great respect for Missouri and what they do. I’m proud of our kids for showing up today and getting it done.” In her first career start with the Razorbacks, junior setter Ashley Vazquez dished out 38 assists to lead Arkansas (18-6, 9-4 SEC) to its season-best offensive performance. Sunday’s match was Arkansas’ eighth of the season with a .300 or higher hitting percentage; four of those have come during the conference season. The Razorbacks also tied their season best with seven service aces, including two each from Helm, Jasmine Norton and Amanda Anderson. In the first set, the two teams battled back-and-forth and were tied at 14-all—the 10th tie of the set—after a Missouri service error. The Razorbacks won eight of the next 10 points to take a 22-16 advantage. The run of points was capped by a Norton kill. The home team reached set point—24-21—on a kill by Anderson. The Tigers saved two set points but on the team’s third chance, Norton found the floor with another kill to clinch the opener, 25-23. Anderson and Norton each finished Sunday’s match with 10 kills. Helm opened the second set with consecutive service aces to give the Razorback an early lead. Arkansas turned a 4-3 score into a 12-4 advantage after back-to-back blocks featuring Torres-Lopez. Out of a Missouri timeout, the home team increased its lead to double-digits—155—with a kill on the right side by Liz Fortado. The cushion reached as high as 13 points. TorresLopez registered the final two kills of the set to give Arkansas a 25-13 win and 2-0 match lead. During the second set, the Razorbacks played error free on the offensive side. The team put down 16 kills on 27 swings, without an attack error. That added up to a .593 hitting percentage for Arkansas. With only 10 attack errors during the match, the Razorbacks also tied their season low for hitting miscues. With the help of a couple of Missouri miscues, the Razorbacks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third set. Arkansas went on to double up its opponent—10-5—with a block by Torres-Lopez and Vazquez. The home team forced a Missouri timeout after three straight kills pushed the lead to 20-12. Later in the set, Torres-Lopez found the floor to give the Razorbacks another 10-point lead at 23-13. On the team’s second match, Acosta notched her final kill to close out the set, 25-15, and the match.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – For the first time since the 2005 season, the University of Arkansas volleyball team won its 20th match of the season with a four-set victory over Georgia (25-18, 19-25, 25-16, 25-16) Friday evening at Barnhill Arena. In the win, the Razorbacks registered a .370 hitting percentage behind four double-digit kill performances and a 52-assist night from Raymariely Santos. “I thought we played three unbelievable sets and credit to Georgia in the second set,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “You cannot just sit back against a team like that because they will take advantage of those opportunities. Credit to our team for responding after that second set and understanding that we are on a journey and that we have to take care of business.” Jasmine Norton and Janeliss Torres-Lopez led all players with 15 kills each, while Amanda Anderson and Roslandy Acosta added 14 and 13 kills, respectively. In the middle, Torres-Lopez posted a .652 hitting percentage (15-0-23) and Anderson hit .600 (14-2-20). Norton completed her 14th double-double of the season with 13 digs. Libero Emily Helm had a team-high 15 digs and Monica Bollinger added 11 digs behind the block. With the win, Arkansas (20-8, 11-6 SEC) completed the season sweep of the Bulldogs and improved to 18-9 all-time against Georgia. The team’s 11 wins in Southeastern Conference play are a program high under Pulliza, surpassing the team’s 10 league wins last season. After an even start between the teams, the Razorbacks used a four-point surge to take a 1411 lead in the first set and force Georgia (13-14, 7-10 SEC) to call its first timeout of the match. The Bulldogs pulled to within two but out of a timeout, Arkansas re-established a four-point lead, 20-16, after a kill from Torres-Lopez. The home team won the last four points of the set and a kill Anderson closed out the opener in favor of the Razorbacks, 25-18. Torres-Lopez and Anderson combined for 12 kills in the first set. Having dropped game two, the Razorbacks jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the third set. Georgia fought back to within one but Arkansas reeled off three straight to secure a 10-6 lead and force a timeout from the visitors. The Razorbacks started to open their lead and with consecutive kills on the outside by Norton and Acosta, the home team took a 20-11 lead. Regaining her presence in the middle, Torres-Lopez put down the final three kills of the set. “It’s awesome to see the seniors step up to the plate and turn the match around to bring it home on their senior weekend,” Pulliza said. “We’re not just talking about a senior night. We’re talking about senior weekend and senior week, and taking advantage of every opportunity that we have to play in Barnhill Arena with the band and Razorback Nation. They embraced it when it counted today and got it done.” The Bulldogs won four of the first six points of the fourth set before Arkansas responded with a run of points to go ahead 12-9 following a kill out of the middle by Anderson. Later in the set, the Razorbacks turned a two-point advantage into a 21-14 lead following a tandem block by Norton and Torres-Lopez. Arkansas won nine of the final 11 points and behind a .643 hitting percentage, won the final set, 25-16.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – On a day of celebration for its six seniors, the University of Arkansas volleyball team knocked off Ole Miss in four sets (17-25, 25-16, 25-22, 25-22) Sunday afternoon at Barnhill Arena. Jasmine Norton led all players with 17 kills, while fellow senior Roslandy Acosta registered her fifth double-double of the season with 13 kills and 15 digs. With the win, the Razorbacks improved to 21-8 overall and 12-6 in Southeastern Conference play. Prior to Sunday’s match, the Razorbacks’ six seniors—Acosta, Amanda Anderson, Kasey Heckelman, Marci King, Norton and Janeliss Torres-Lopez—were recognized with an on-court presentation. During Sunday’s match, Norton moved into 10th place on the SEC all-time kills list with 1,750 career kills. She is the first player to join that group since 2006. Raymariely Santos finished the match with 45 assists and is now No. 4 on the program’s career assists list. “The win speaks for itself in terms of the team’s success,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “More important than the win is the mark this senior class has left on Arkansas volleyball. It’s a mark that will always be remembered and they have left a stamp of excellence on what Arkansas volleyball is about. I’m very proud of them and very proud of our team today.” Ole Miss (11-16, 5-13 SEC) never trailed in the first set, jumping out to 12-7 lead after a pair of service aces by Ty Laporte. Arkansas saved one set point with a kill by Torres-Lopez but Ole Miss went on to close out the game, 25-17. In the second set, the Razorbacks jumped out to a 5-2 lead after back-to-back kills from Raymariely Santos. Ole Miss pulled to within one but the home team rattled off six straight points— capped by a Norton kill—to take a 16-9 lead. The Rebels got as close as three late in set but Arkansas responded with consecutive kills by Acosta and Norton to regain momentum, and closed out the set, 25-16, by winning six of the last seven point. The Rebels opened up an early three-point lead and led 10-7 after an Arkansas service error. The Razorbacks responded with a six-point surge that featured two solo blocks and a kill by Anderson. Down the stretch, Ole Miss pulled to within one on three separate occasions but the home team withstood the charge. The team arrived at set point on an Ole Miss attack error, and two points later, Acosta found the floor with her sixth kill of the game to secure a 2-1 match lead. Needing to win the fourth to stay alive, the Rebels won five of the first seven points of the set. Kills by Norton and Liz Fortado pulled Arkansas even at 9-all but Ole Miss won the next three points to regain the lead. The visitors’ lead fluctuated between one and three before Pulliza called a timeout with his team trailing, 20-17. After the timeout, the Razorback seniors made a final stand on their home court and were responsible for six of the team’s last eight points, including the final three. Acosta and Torres-Lopez teamed up for a block to even the score at 22-all before Anderson stepped back to the service line and delivered an ace to give Arkansas its first lead of the set, 23-22. An Ole Miss attack error gave the Razorbacks match point, and on her final swing at Barnhill Arena, Norton found the back line to lift her team to the set and match win.

Norton finished the night with a match-high 15 kills and 10 digs, while Acosta totaled 11 kills and 12 digs. With the win, Arkansas improves to 22-8 overall and 13-6 in Southeastern Conference play.

Janeliss Torres-Lopez finished the match with seven kills on a .545 hitting percentage to go along with four total blocks. “We knew we would have to be on top of our game tonight against a very good LSU team,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We prepared ourselves with the quick turnaround from Sunday’s match and it paid off tonight. I’m excited about where our team is right now.” With the score tied at 4-all in the first set, the Razorbacks won six of the next seven points to double up LSU (12-17, 8-12 SEC), 10-5. Arkansas kept the advantage with another surge of points—this time a 5-0 run—to push its lead to 16-8.

The Tigers began to rally back, pulling to within three before Norton thumped a shot down the line to bring Arkansas to match point at 24-20. LSU won the next two points but on the team’s third chance to close out the set, Anderson and Norton combined for a block to clinch the opener, 25-22.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – On the final day of the regular season in the Southeastern Conference, the University of Arkansas volleyball team dropped a five-set decision to South Carolina (24-26, 25-18, 28-26, 19-25, 15-10) Friday afternoon in Columbia, S.C. Jasmine Norton finished the match with a team-high 18 kills while freshman Liz Fortado added a career-best 13 kills against the Gamecocks. With the loss, Arkansas closes out its 2012 regular season with a 22-9 overall record and a 13-7 mark in league play. The Razorbacks finished the match with four double-digit kill performances. In addition to Norton and Fortado, Roslandy Acosta and Amanda Anderson tallied 13 and 11 kills, respectively. Junior setter Raymariely Santos equaled her season high with 54 assists on her way to setting Arkansas to a .322 hitting percentage, its 10th match of the year with figure of .300 or higher. During Friday’s match, Santos moved into third place on the program’s all-time list with 2,868 career assists. With their respective efforts against South Carolina, Norton moved into eighth place on the SEC all-time kills list and Anderson moved into a tie for 19th on Arkansas’ career kills list. Now with 1,783 kills during her career, Norton moved past former SEC standouts Shonda Cole of South Carolina (2003-06) and Tamala Brightman of Tennessee (1990-93) into her current position. Anderson has amassed 780 career kills as a middle blocker. In the decisive fifth set, South Carolina (18-14, 6-14 SEC) jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Fortado put down the Razorbacks’ first kill. When the teams switched sides, the Gamecocks were ahead, 8-4. In an extended rally, Arkansas got an assist from a support beam that kept a ball in play during a point eventually won by the Razorbacks with a block from Fortado and Janeliss Torres-Lopez. From that play, however, the Gamecocks turned a three-point lead into a five-point advantage with a pair of kills from Jenna Allen. The home team arrived at set point with a 14-8 lead. Arkansas won the next two points by way of an SC service error and an Anderson-Norton block. On the team’s third match point, South Carolina sealed the five-set victory with a kill from Bethanie Thomas. With the match tied at 1-1, the tale of the third game unfolded with the home team holding a handful of set points at 24-20. Including a pair of Norton kills, Arkansas won the next four points to pull even on the scoreboard. On the next two set points for South Carolina, Santos pushed the ball out to Norton and the senior attacker responded with a pair of kills. However, on their seventh set point, the Gamecocks secured the game and took a 2-1 match lead with a kill. The Razorbacks extended the match with their best offensive set of the day in game four. Like the first set, the score was tied at 12-all when Arkansas made its first definitive move. With a couple of service aces off the hand of Ashley Vazquez and a kill by Acosta, the visitors carried a 15-12 lead. The Razorbacks increased the lead to five—20-15—to force a second South Carolina timeout. Anderson put away a Santos set to bring her team to set point. The two teams then traded service errors but the one by Thevenin handed Arkansas the set, 25-19.

LAWRENCE, Kan. – The University of Arkansas volleyball team closed out its season Friday evening with a five-set loss (16-25, 25-27, 25-17, 25-23, 15-10) to Wichita State in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Division I Championship. Roslandy Acosta led a trio of Razorbacks in double digits with a career-high 20 kills, and was joined by Jasmine Norton with 16 kills and Liz Fortado with 10. Arkansas wrapped its 2012 campaign with a 22-10 overall record and the program’s 10th NCAA appearance. Acosta completed her seventh double-double of the season with 12 digs to go along with her offensive output. Along with her 16 kills, Norton added 13 digs for her team-leading 16th doubledouble this season. She also tallied five total blocks. Norton closes out her Razorback career with 1,799 kills, the eighth-highest total in Southeastern Conference history. From the setter position, Raymariely Santos dished out 47 assists and had 14 digs for her 15th double-double performance. Junior libero Emily Helm led all players with 21 digs. “First, I want to congratulate Wichita State on a great season and a great match tonight,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “We knew we would have our hands full with them and we just saw the reason why. That said, I’m very proud of our team. I’m very proud of our season. I’ve had a great journey that I know our players and staff will always remember. We just had a tough one tonight that didn’t come our way.” In the fifth and decisive set, Arkansas won three of the first four points but the two teams continued its back-and-forth play that marked a majority of Friday’s match. Fortado found the floor with her final kill of the night to even the score at 10-10, the ninth tie of game five. However, Wichita State reeled off the final five points of the set to complete the comeback victory. With the score tied early in the first set, the Razorbacks rattled off seven points in a row to double up Wichita State on the scoreboard, 14-7. Later in the set, Arkansas used a run of four points and after back-to-back Shocker errors, the lead was 20-11. Amanda Anderson found the floor to give Arkansas set point and its first double-digit lead of the match, 24-14. Arkansas clinched the opener with a Shocker attack error. In the opening set, the Razorbacks’ offense was paced by 12 kills from its outside hitter. Acosta tallied seven kills in the first set, while Norton found the floor five times. Defensively, Arkansas held the Shockers to a -.032 hitting percentage in set one. Wichita State led early in the second set, taking a 7-4 lead after a kill from Sam Sanders. Like they did in the first, the Razorbacks used a 7-0 charge to go ahead with a 13-8 lead. Arkansas maintained a four or five point lead until a pair of attack errors brought the Shockers to within two at 21-19. Acosta registered a kill to give her team its first of three set points, 24-23. After a kill from Fortado, fellow freshman Monica Bollinger stepped to the service line and responded with an ace that clipped the top of the net and fell to the floor to secure a 2-0 match lead. Having fought back to win games three and four, the Shockers were led by a match-high 23 kills from Ashley Andrade and her .564 hitting percentage and five total blocks. Chelsey Feekin directed the Wichita State attack with 54 assists and added 16 digs.

2013 ARKANSAS VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE


1,000-KILL CLUB Having added the sport for the 1994 season, Arkansas volleyball is entering its 20th year of existence in 2013. In that time, 15 Razorbacks have tallied 1,000 or more kills. Here’s a look at those special players and their numbers. Two players, Krystal Osborne and Denise Baez, were members of the inaugural team in 1994. The most recent members, Jasmine Norton and Kelli Stipanovich, added their names to the list in 2011. All 15 players were named to the All-Southeastern Conference team at least once during their career. In addition, six members of the 1,000-kill club--Denise Baez, Denitza Koleva, Jasmine Norton, Krystal Osborne, Yarleen Santiago and Kim Storey--tallied at least 1,000 digs during their respective Razorback careers.

Lawrence needed two kills for 1,000 and finished with a Razorback-best nine. She hit .250 for Arkansas and had one dig while scoring nine points in the milestone match against the Gators.

Over the 19-year history of Razorback volleyball, only two setters have eclipsed 3,000 career assists. That distinction belongs to Tina Rico and Ning Zhao, the setters that directed the Arkansas offense for the first six years of the program. Rico is also a member of the 1,000-dig club and still owns the school record for service aces. Zhao ranks first in program history with 12.99 assists per set during her two years in Cardinal and White.

Ashley Miller set the Arkansas school record for career digs in game two against Kansas State at the Varney’s KSU Invitational Sept. 7, in Manhattan, Kan. The Vacaville, Calif., native finished the match with 1,693 career digs sliding by former Razorback Krystal Osborne (1994-97) who finished her career with 1,659. Miller’s successful season continued as she broke the Southeastern Conference career digs record several weeks later in a five-game come-frombehind win at Georgia. Miller entered the match with 2,033 and finished the contest with 25 erasing the SEC record formerly held by Kentucky’s Jenni Casper who had 2,037. Miller finished the year with a single-season record 570 digs and career record 2,126 - more than 467 career digs than the secondplace spot. In addition, she holds the career digs per game record with a 4.40 mark and the single match record with 36 set against Ole Miss in 2006.

NCAA Tournament - Lawrence, Kan. Nov. 30

vs. Wichita State

* SEC opponent

RAZORBACKS MAKE RETURN TRIP TO NCAA TOURNAMENT FAYETTEVILLE – Breaking a six-year postseason absence, the University of Arkansas volleyball has earned an at-large bid into the field of 64 of the 2012 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship. The Razorbacks will open tournament play Friday against Wichita State. The first-round match is scheduled for a 4 p.m. (CT) start at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. The Arkansas-Wichita State match is part of the sub-region which also includes No. 11 national seed Kansas and Cleveland State. “It’s an exciting day and exciting time for Arkansas volleyball,” head coach Robert Pulliza said. “It’s hard to describe. When you’ve worked so hard like these players have to make a dream come true, and then it comes true, it’s a great feeling. I’m very proud of this team. “There was a sense of joy and celebration. We’ve been working very hard and been waiting for that moment for a long time. We’ve talked about it and envisioned it, so it was pure joy. It’s a moment they will never forget in their lives and a moment I’ll never forget. It was great.” Sunday’s selection marks Arkansas first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since the 2006 season, and its first under Pulliza, who is in his fifth season in Fayetteville. Overall, Arkansas will be making its 10th NCAA appearance. The program owns a 7-9 overall record in the tournament, having advanced to a regional semifinal in 1998 and the second round on five other occasions (1996, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2005). The Razorbacks’ other appearances came in 2001, 2004 and 2006. The Razorbacks finished the 2012 regular season with a 22-9 overall record and a 13-7 tally in Southeastern Conference play. Both win totals are highs for the program under the direction of Pulliza. “Right now I’m still speechless,” senior captain Amanda Anderson said. “This is the dream we’ve had since being here. Four years I’ve been waiting for this moment and it’s here. I don’t’ think I’ve ever been that excited in my life. My heart stopped. I started crying. You don’t even know what you’re expecting and then it just hits you. It’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.”

2013 ARKANSAS VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE


ARKANSAS IN THE POSTSEASON

1997 The field expanded and Arkansas was again selected for the NCAA Tournament. But this time it was no surprise. The Razorbacks had done the impossible, knocking off No. 4 Florida in the Southeastern Conference Tournament finals, 15-7, 15-7, 17-15, in Athens, Ga., to receive the automatic bid. Again selected to host, Arkansas hardly broke a sweat downing in-state rival ArkansasLittle Rock in straight sets, 15-11, 15-3, 15-3, advancing to the second round. Notre Dame came to Fayetteville with upset on its mind and did just that, eliminating the Razorbacks in front of the home crowd in four games, 15-9, 7-15, 10-15, 14-16. 1998 Arkansas received its third consecutive invitation to the NCAA Tournament in 1998 and took its game to a new level. The Razorbacks were again selected to host first- and second-round matches, and with the bitter taste of the previous season’s loss to Notre Dame still fresh in their mouths, Arkansas rose to the challenge. The Razorbacks opened with a first-round win over New Hampshire, 15-3, 15-0, 15-13, in Barnhill Arena. The second round saw the Razorbacks crush Indiana, 15-8, 15-5, 15-4, sending them to Gainesville, Fla., where Arkansas faced a tough postseason team in Hawai’i. The Rainbow Wahine handed Arkansas a 3-0 loss but not before senior Kim Storey made a name for herself, earning East Regional AllTournament Team honors and becoming the second AVCA All-American in program history.

1999 Selected to the field of 64 in 1999, Arkansas faced their first-round match on the road for the first time in school history. TheRazorbacks found themselves in Long Beach, Calif., where they opened with a first-round victory over Georgetown, 15-3, 10-15, 15-1, 15-6. They had the unenviable task of facing the defending national champion in the second round for the second time in four trips, falling to host Long Beach State, 6-15, 6-15, 1115, to be eliminated. 2001 The 2001 season marked a return to NCAA postseason play for a young Razorback team. Arkansas struggled in the opening two weeks of the season with a particularly bad showing against Kansas State in the Wildcat Classic. The volleyball gods gave Arkansas a chance to redeem itself, sending the Razorbacks back to Manhattan, Kan., for a first-round matchup with Kansas State. Arkansas lost the match but not before gaining a new sense of respect from Kansas State and its fans as the Razorbacks pushed the host team to five games, narrowly missing the game-five win. 2003 It was back to the Dance for the Razorbacks in 2003 with a return trip to Manhattan, Kan., for first- and second-round action. Arkansas avenged an early season loss to No. 23 Southwest Missouri, downing the Bears in four games, but fell to host and sixth-ranked Wildcats in three games. Arkansas hit .232 behind 11 kills from freshmen Denitza Koleva and Kele Brewer. The Razorbacks added 11 team blocks in the loss. 2004 Selection to the 2004 NCAA Tournament may be one of the more rewarding bids in program history. The Razorbacks faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules and the team’s won-loss record reflected the challenges. But the gamble by head coach Chris Poole paid off as the team was selected to the field of 64 for its seventh NCAA Tournament appearance. Arkansas traveled to Columbia, Mo., to face No. 16 Missouri on the Tigers’ home court in the first round. The Razorbacks fell in four games, 28-30, 21-30, 30-25, 26-30, in a hardfought battle. Sophomore Kele Brewer tallied a team-leading 17 kills and freshman Ashley Miller added 24 digs in the setback.

2005 Arkansas made its third consecutive postseason appearance, once again traveling to Columbia, Mo., in December. Arkansas’ invitation was one of six extended to the Southeastern Conference, the most ever for the league. Also making NCAA Tournament appearances were Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee. The Lady Vols advanced to the national semfinals before being eliminated. The Razorbacks opened their tournament with St. Mary’s of California in a match that was nearly even on paper. Both teams were known as solid blocking programs and both had similar offensive numbers but Arkansas emerged as the night’s victor. The Razorbacks dominated the contest, outhitting St. Mary’s, .358-.111, and outblocking the Gaels, 14.0-5.0, in the three-game win. Senior Karla Crose hit a match-best .857 with six kills and no errors on seven attempts. She also led the match with 10 block assists in the win. Junior Amy Allison added a sevenkill, .538-hitting percentage effort while junior Denitza Koleva led Arkansas with 11 kills. The victory moved Arkansas into the second round where it faced host team and 10thranked Missouri for a second consecutive season. Missouri got the best of Arkansas, ending the careers of seniors Crose and Iva Docekalova. Kele Brewer paced the Razorbacks with 10 kills in the loss. 2006 Not only did Arkansas get into the NCAA Tournament in 2006, but the Razorbacks were selected as a surprise host after higher-seeded Oklahoma was unable to accommodate the tournament. Arkansas was eliminated in the first round by Missouri State, ending the careers of seniors Denitza Koleva, Kele Brewer and Amy Allison. The trio of Razorbacks were the first class in program history to attend the NCAA Tournament all four seasons they played at Arkansas. 2012 Snapping a six-year absence from the NCAA Tournament with its selection, Arkansas’ appearance in the 2012 national tournament was its first under fifth-year head coach Robert Pulliza and the program’s 10th overall. The Razorbacks traveled to Kansas where it was the No. 2 seed in the Lawrence subregion and played Wichita State in the first round. Despite a trio of double-double performance from Roslandy Acosta, Jasmine Norton and Raymariely Santos and a 21-dig showing form Emily Helm, Arkansas closed out its season with a 22-10 record after a five-set loss to the Shockers.

1996 “We’re in!! We’re in!!” was the cry in 1996 when a three-year old Arkansas volleyball team made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The young program was honored to have been selected to the field of 48 teams and was surprised to learn they would host the first round due to a scheduling conflict for their opponent. Rhode Island made the trip to Fayetteville and battled Arkansas valiantly before falling in a five-set battle, 15-12, 15-8, 12-15, 9-15, 1511. The victory sent Arkansas to Lincoln, Neb., where they faced defending national champion Nebraska in a four-game thriller. Arkansas lost the match, 15-8, 12-15, 15-7, 15-7, but not before they won the hearts of the volleyballsavvy Cornhuskers fan, players and coaching staff.

The YOU of A

The University of Arkansas provides a student-centered learning experience focused on research, innovation and outreach as a part of educating future leaders. Consistently ranked among the top public universities and best values in the U.S., the U of A is classified among the top two percent of institutions nationwide with the highest possible level of research activity. The university’s 25,000 students represent all 50 states and more than 120 countries. The U of A has 10 colleges and schools offering more than 210 academic programs — while maintaining a low student-to-faculty ratio that promotes personal attention and mentoring opportunities. Founded in 1871, the university is the oldest publicly supported institution in the state and is the flagship of the University of Arkansas System. The U of A campus features distinctive architecture, including its signature building, Old Main, finished in 1875. The iconic building now houses the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. The college is named in honor of former U of A President (and, later, U.S. Senator) J. William Fulbright, who helped create the prestigious international scholarship and fellowship programs that bear his name. The university promotes undergraduate research in virtually every discipline and has an outstanding national reputation in many areas, including agriculture, architecture, business, creative writing, engineering, high-density electronics and nanoscience, as well as stainability and environmental sciences. Programs such as Supply Chain Management, Rehabilitation Counseling, Industrial Engineering and Biological and Agricultural Engineering rank among the best in the country. The University of Arkansas offers a vibrant campus life that is culturally, intellectually and socially enriching. On our campus you’ll find more than 300 registered student organizations, from special interest to professional groups, as well as 33 Greek organizations, making it easy and rewarding to get involved. Every semester offers opportunities to attend musical performances, theater productions, art exhibits, concerts, free films, poetry readings, visiting speakers and hundreds of other varied events.

HISTORIC SENIOR WALK As you make your way around campus, you’re sure to notice something unique about many of the sidewalks. Historic Senior Walk showcases the names of more than 150,000 University of Arkansas graduates, grouped by year of graduation. Senior Walk is the university’s longest tradition in both length and years. It’s concrete proof of the university’s commitment to students. Senior Walk is also a perfect example of how the University of Arkansas celebrates its history and traditions while focusing on innovations for the future. When the costs involved in handetching names into concrete forced numerous other universities to give up, the U of A turned to its physical plant and engineering school grads to create a one-of-a-kind computerized sandblasting machine: the SandHog. Each summer, the SandHog roars across campus etching the names of new graduates into sidewalks.

Arkansas is a natural wonder of forests, mountains and lakes framed by picturesque rivers and streams. Some of the nation’s best outdoor amenities and most spectacular hiking trails are within a short drive of campus.

OLD MAIN

BEYOND CAMPUS Fayetteville is routinely considered among the country’s finest college towns and the surrounding Northwest Arkansas region is regularly ranked one of the best places to live in the U.S. You’ll find a number of attractions that will contribute to a rich college experience. Three of America’s largest corporations have their world headquarters in the region: Walmart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt Transportation, Inc. Their close proximity to the U of A campus, along with their executives’ and employees’ active involvement in university life, offers students and faculty exceptional opportunities for research partnerships, internships, and postgraduation employment.

One of the original buildings on Arkansas’ campus, Old Main symbolizes the strong connection to the past and the focus upon the future which come together in the present at the University of Arkansas. Completed in 1875, Old Main stood the test of time until the mid-1980s when age and modern building codes threatened to send it to the wrecking ball as had happened to its sister building at the University of Illinois. A major fund-raising campaign by alumni totally renovated Old Main. Reopening in 1992, the building maintains the feel of a Victorian-era building with high ceilings and elaborate wooden trim. Just below the surface of the period hardwood floors, Old Main is hard-wired to the internet and built to last well into its second century. Even with renovation, Old Main remained unfinished until 2005. One of the gifts during the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century specified the installation of a clock, originally planned for the blank faces of the south tower. As mentioned, Old Main was built from shared plans with its counterpart on the Illinois campus, with one important difference. The north tower of Arkansas’ Old Main is taller than the south tower. Legend says this was symbolic of the Civil War as the lead engineer was a northern veteran.

including extending Arkansas’ relationship with War Memorial Stadium and partnering with former Razorback Jerry Jones to develop the Southwest Classic, a football series with Texas A&M played at the spectacular Cowboys Stadium. Under Long’s leadership, the program has fortified its financial standing ensuring more support for the development of student-athletes. According to USA Today, Arkansas is one of only 23 financially selfsustaining Division I-A athletic programs in the nation. As economic indicators were beginning to point toward challenging economic times, Long signed Arkansas to a deal with IMG College to form Razorback Sports Properties that guarantees the Razorback program $73 million during the course of the decade-long agreement. Long also negotiated an extensive all sports apparel and footwear agreement with NIKE, Inc. that will outfit all 19 Razorback sports programs through the 2014-15 season. In December 2012, Forbes Magazine estimated the value of the Razorback Football program at $83 million, ranking the University of Arkansas in the top 10 nationally for the second consecutive year. In 2010, Long moved to help meet the growing financial needs of fielding a nationally competitive all sports program. The athletic department launched the “Answer the Call” campaign through the Razorback Foundation which resulted in more than 2,600 new members and helped generate more than $6.5 million in additional support for Razorback student-athletes. In 2012, Long guided the program to a record breaking fundraising year further bolstering Arkansas’ financial strength. With an eye towards the future, Long commissioned a comprehensive plan to assess the future facility needs of the program. Unveiled in October 2011, the Razorback Athletic Facilities Master Plan provided a vision and the road map for $320 million of facility renovations and additions that will help all 19 Razorback sports remain competitive in the Southeastern Conference and nationally over the next 30 years. The first major project from the master plan, the $40 million Fred W. Smith Football Center, opened in the summer of 2013. Three other facilities, a Student-Athlete Success Center, a basketball indoor practice facility and a baseball and track indoor training facility have all been approved and are moving forward to construction. As part of the next step in the plan, a market and cost analysis study is being conducted on a potential north end zone expansion to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. According to a recent economic impact study, Razorback Athletics will have an estimated economic impact of more than $1 billion in the next five years. The study estimated that Razorback Athletics generates $153.6 million annually to the region’s economy including the benefits of drawing more than a million fans annually to campus to cheer on the Razorbacks. Planned athletic construction during the course of the next five years will generate another $239.7 million. A veteran administrator with a track record of the highest commitment to the concept of “student-athlete,” Long has had more than two decades of experience in athletic administration at the Division I level including at the University of Pittsburgh, University of Oklahoma, University of Michigan, Virginia Tech University, Eastern Kentucky University and Rice University.
