t’s loud, it’s usually full for volleyball matches, and it contains some of the most knowledgeable fans in America. Juniata volleyball players love it; opposing players dread it.   The Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center has been the only home of Juniata volleyball since the program’s founding. With permanent seating for 950 and a total seating capacity of 1,350 with auxiliary seating, Kennedy is often filled with boisterous Juniata students and fans. The upper mezzanine allows fans to get different perspectives on play – perhaps contributing to the fact Juniata fans are some of the most volleyball savvy in NCAA Division III. The mezzanine also helps trap sound at floor level, intensifying the volume. All of this combines to give Juniata a huge home court advantage. Over the program’s entire history, Juniata has lost just 26 matches on the Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center court.   The court is just steps away from Juniata’s refurbished locker room, the athletic training room, and the Brumbaugh Fitness Center, making Kennedy the home-away-from-home for Juniata women’s volleyball student-athletes.

Head Coach

Heather Pavlik • Juniata ‘95 • Third season

ntering her third season as the head coach of the Juniata College women’s volleyball program, Heather Pavlik (‘95) has amassed an impressive 52-20 overall record. Since taking over the helm from mentor Larry Bock, Pavlik has extended the Eagles’ all-time winning streak against Landmark Conference opponents to 49-0. In 2012 the Eagles won the program’s sixth consecutive Landmark Conference title and made their 32nd NCAA tournament appearance. A three-time All-American as a player and long time assistant at Juniata, Pavlik’s second season as head coach continued the long established winning tradition of Eagles women’s volleyball. The Eagles finished the year 25-12 overall and reached the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament. Five members of the 2012 squad were named All-Landmark Conference team members, and two received Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) South All-Star team honors, including offensive standout Courtney Lydick (‘14) who was also awarded American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region accolades. The Eagles were 27-8 overall in Pavlik’s first season as head coach. Juniata continued its streak of being the only program to qualify for every Division III women’s volleyball championship. Under Pavlik’s tutelage, two Eagles earned All-America honors in 2011, including senior libero Libby Morrison, who was both the Landmark Conference Player of the Year and Specialist of the Year, and was a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree. “Heather was the obvious choice to continue the rich tradition of Juniata women’s volleyball, and build upon the program’s accomplishments under Larry Bock,” said Dean of Students Kris Clarkson, at the time of Pavlik’s hiring on January 19, 2011. “She has been a part of much of that success, as a student, as an athlete, and as a coach, and understands,

perhaps better than anyone, what it takes to be a successful student-athlete at Juniata College.” The 2010 campaign, Pavlik’s last season as an assistant, was her 15th on the bench with Juniata women’s volleyball and her eighth since being named associate head coach prior to the 2003 season. In her 15 seasons on the bench, the Eagles amassed a 493-63 record, and won the NCAA Division III national championships in 2004 and 2006. During her tenure with Juniata women’s volleyball, the Eagles have produced 41 All-Americans. Her work with the team’s setters produced six AllAmericans, including one Division III National Player of the Year setter, as well as three more of the same honor being given to two different outside hitters. Pavlik also served as an assistant coach with the Juniata men’s volleyball program from 1998 through 2001. The Eagles captured their first Molten Division III Invitational title in 1998 with Pavlik as an assistant coach, as well as the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Division III crown. Juniata captured its second EIVA Division III title in 1999, while placing fourth at the Molten Invitational. A 1995 graduate of Juniata College with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, Pavlik earned AVCA First-team All-America honors in 1992, 1993, and 1994. She is a 2005 inductee into the Juniata College Sports Hall of Fame, and was one of six former collegiate players named to the NCAA Division III Women’s Volleyball Silver Anniversary Team. Pavlik was also named to the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) All-Centruty team for her outstanding play as a student-athlete. She was formerly Heather Blough before marrying Mark Pavlik, the head coach of the Penn State men’s volleyball program, in June 1997. The couple live in McAlevy’s Fort, Pa., with their son, Jackson. She is a native of Johnstown, Pa., and a graduate of Richland High School.

She joined the coaching staff in May 2011, immediately upon her graduation from Juniata. “I am absolutely thrilled to have Steph on my staff,” said Pavlik. “Her intelligence, personality and work ethic are a perfect fit for the Juniata women’s volleyball program. She understands where the program has been and where we want to go, and is truly a student of the game. Steph will be a great mentor and teacher for the players and an exceptional colleague for me. Above all, she bleeds blue and gold.” Strauss, a native of Penn Hills, Pa., was a threetime American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-America team setter. She completed her career with 3,424 career assists, and stands sixth among Juniata’s all-time assist leaders.

Strauss tallied 1,054 assists during her senior year, averaging 9.94 per set, with 199 kills (1.88 per set) and 226 digs (2.13 per set) on her way to AVCA Second-team AllAmerica honors. She guided a Juniata offense that finished the season with a .266 hitting percentage, ranked 10th in Division III. Strauss was named to the ESPN Academic All-America First-team, becoming the 20th Academic All-American in Juniata history and just the sixth to gain first team honors. Off the court, Strauss was a three-time Landmark Academic Honor Roll selection and eight-time Dean’s List honoree at Juniata. She interned in both the Juniata College Sports Information and J-Club offices, and was president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In 2009, Strauss was the recipient of the NCAA “Elite 88” Award at the Division III Women’s Volleyball Championship, as the student-athlete with the highest grade point average of any participant at the championship site. Strauss was named the recipient of the Landmark’s Senior Scholar-Athlete Award for women’s volleyball, as voted upon by a committee of Landmark athletic directors, sports information directors, and conference officers. She graduated from Juniata with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sport marketing and management and recently earned her masters in sports management from California University of Pennsylvania.

She followed up with Honorable Mention All-America honors in 2008 as a senior, after averaging 5.30 assists per set in Juniata’s 6-2 offense.

Juniata College women’s volleyball returns a veteran squad eager for more post season success.

The last week of November the Eagles travel to Newport News, Virginia to challenge No.5 Christopher Newport at home as well as No. 13 WisconsinWhitewater. In between Landmark Conference weekends the women’s volleyball team will travel to Salisbury Maryland to face the No. 22 Salisbury Seagulls. Juniata will have a shot at revenge when they face the No. 8 Emory squad that ended the Eagles 2012 season. On the final day of the regular season, women’s volleyball will face their final ranked opponent, SUNYCortland, in Atlanta Georgia. Juniata women’s volleyball opens their season on August 30th at the Cortland Invitational in Cortland New York against the Rochester University. The home season opens Friday September 6th against St. Vincent as the Eagles host the Asics National Invitational at Memorial Gymnasium.

Starting the season ranked 20th in the first American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll, the Juniata College Women’s Volleyball team looks to improve on last season, returning with a veteran squad for 2013. “The coaching staff is really looking forward to this season and training the team,” said Head Coach Heather Pavlik. “They have worked very hard over the last year and have gained some much needed experience.” Top Returners Senior middle hitter Courtney Lydick (McKean, Pa./General Lean) is entering her final season for the Eagles coming off a FirstTeam All-Landmark Conference, Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) South All-Star, and AVCA Mid-Atlantic All-Region season. Lydick will be joined in the front row by junior outside hitter Amelia Kepler (Kane, Pa./Kane Area), who finished third on the team in total kills (282) and garnered first-team all-conference and ECAC All-Star honors. Junior Brittani Young (Columbia, Pa./ Hepfield Area) will once again anchor the Eagles defense. The libero and defensive specialist amassed a team leading 635 digs last season - third in the league for total digs and fifth in digs per set at 4.64. Top Newcomers Adding to the strength of the veteran roster will be a strong and promising first year class. “With the addition of five very talented freshman, this team should be poised to do some special things,” added Pavlik. The mixture of new talent and seasoned veterans has the Eagles geared up to make a run for their 33rd consecutive conference title (seventh Landmark title) and advance deep into the NCAA Division III national tournament. Schedule The women’s volleyball team battled hard through a highly competitive 2012 season with matches against nine ranked teams in the regular season alone. The 2013 season looks to be a similar battle with nine matches schedule against 10

ranked opponents based on the AVCA 2013 preseason poll. “We have quite a few returning players who now understand the demands of a competitive regular season and a playoff run,” said Pavlik. “This will be to our advantage as we start what will once again be a very competitive fall schedule.” Four of the ranked opponents the Eagles face in the 2013 season come from inside the top eight in the country. The first big test will be on September 13 when Juniata faces No.3 Wittenberg on their home court in the Wittenberg Fall Classic. The drama continues as the Eagles are slated to face No. 7 Washington-St. Louis the very next day. One week later Juniata and No. 16 Eastern University will square off in St. Davids, PA. Juniata holds a commanding lead in the all -time matchup. Juniata has only lost to Eastern on one occasion and won all 17 other contests between the two programs.

Junior outside hitter Amelia Kepler returns to the court after earning first-team all-conference and Eastern College Athletic Conference All-Star honor in 2012.

For the second year in a row, the Juniata College women’s volleyball team fell short of the NCAA Division III Elite 8, dropping the final match of the season to No. 4 Emory 3-1 (19-25, 28-26, 25-19, 25-18). The season was not without highs as the Eagles won their 6th consecutive Landmark Conference tournament and made their 32nd consecutive NCAA Division III tournament appearance. Continuing their winning ways, the Eagles maintained their perfect record in Landmark matches. The clean record included two wins over conference rival Susquehanna. On the opening weekend of Landmark Conference play the Eagles faced off against Susquehanna in a dramatic five set match. Senior Kelsey Fuller (Red Lion, Pa./Red Lion) passed the 1,000 dig milestone for her career during the match and earned her 1,000th kill just two weeks later against Catholic. Fuller finished her career with 1,242 digs placing her at ninth all time in the Juniata record books. The second bout with Susquehanna came in the first round of the Landmark Conference Tournament. While the Crusaders took the first set the Eagle came back in a hurry winning the last three sets handedly for the 3-1 victory (25-27, 25-12, 25-16, 25-11). Junior Sarah McCarthy (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) finished the match with a career-high 60 digs and Fuller also notched a career-high with 18 kills in a dominant all around showing by the Eagles. In the second match of the night, Juniata took down Catholic 3-0 in the title match. With the conference tournament win, Juniata advanced to the NCAA tournament to face Trinity (Texas). After knocking off the Tigers 3-0 in the first round, the Juniata came up against No. 4 ranked Emory and dropped the final match of the season 3-1. Five Eagles were named All-Landmark Conference team members, two were named to the Eastern Athletic Conference (ECAC) South All-Star team, and Junior Courtney Lydick (McKean, Pa./General McLane) was named American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region. Sophomore Brittani Young (Columbia, Pa./ Helpfield Area) finished with 647 digs on the year, which puts her 10th all-time in single season digs. The 2012 season marked the end of a career for just one senior. Kelsey Fuller (‘13) finished her career a Second-Team All-Landmark Conference member and team Most Valuable Player for the season. Fuller totaled 1,242 digs for her career, ninth all-time for Juniata women’s volleyball, and 1,100 kills while tallying 14 double-double performances in her senior season.

PROGRAM HISTORY PROGRAM

The Landmark Conference is a Division III athletics conference which was formed in the winter of 2005 in an effort to bring together colleges and universities from the midatlantic region with similar philosophies regarding the role of athletics as part of the overall collegiate experience. On November 30, 2006 it was announced that The Catholic University of America, Drew University, Goucher College, Juniata College, Moravian College, Susquehanna University and The United States Merchant Marine Academy had formed a soon-to-be-named Division III conference, with the University of Scranton becoming the eighth member in November of 2006. The conference began competition in September 2007.   The most literal inspiration for the Landmark Conference’s name comes from the many well-known physical landmarks of the Mid-Atlantic region encompassed by the conference. The name also reflects the significance of the institutions’ decision to align themselves with other colleges and universities of similar size, educational philosophies, and high academic standards. It highlights the Landmark Conference’s intention to stand out not only in athletics, but also in academics, emphasizing educational achievement and the important role played by athletics in the undergraduate experience.   Demonstrating the Landmark Conference’s dedication to helping studentathletes balance their obligations and excel across disciplines, conference leaders have already decided to hold long-distance games only on weekends, minimizing the time student-athletes will have to spend away from class. The conference institutions boast some of the best academic reputations in the region, and the eight programs have combined to produce numerous

Academic All-Americans and Academic All-District selections in recent years.   Juniata’s membership in the Landmark ended its nearly 80-year affiliation with the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Corporation and the Commonwealth Conference.   The conference sponsors championships in field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s cross country in the fall, men’s and women’s basketball, swimming and diving and men’s and women’s indoor track and field during the winter and baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s outdoor track in the spring. The Landmark features perennial national powers in nearly every sport including men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and will provide all student-athletes with high-level competition. The conference’s eight institutions are spread throughout the midatlantic region, stretching from King’s Point, N.Y. in the north to Washington, D.C. in the south. The geographic diversity creates even greater opportunity for growth for the Landmark’s student-athletes. When the conference begins competition in the Fall of 2007 it marks a new chapter in the history of each of the eight institutions as the programs grow together in their unique athletic and academic enterprise.

Juniata overcomes history, Bears to win national title From the Altoona Mirror, Nov. 28, 2004 ROCHESTER, Minn. – The looks on the faces of the Juniata College women’s volleyball team as well as the smile flashed by coach Larry Bock suggest that believe it or not, it was worth the wait.   The 24-year wait finally ended in Rochester, Minn., Saturday night as the Juniata College women’s volleyball team captured its first Division III National Championship on the strength of a 3-0 victory over Washington University (Mo.).   Juniata finished the season with a record of 37-3, while Washington finished 32-7. Juniata claimed the match by game scores of 30-27, 3027, and 30-28.   After years of heart-breaking defeats and near-misses, Juniata captured the elusive national title on its 19th trip to the national semifinals, and its fifth appearance in the national championship match. In typical fashion, Bock deflected the attention and was understated following the match.   “For 28 years I’ve come back to these press conferences and have had to come from a locker room with girls who were crying – this is much better,” Bock said. “I couldn’t feel better about the school I work for and for this team, which deserves all the credit. I also have to pass the credit to my assistant coach Heather Pavlik – I’ve been riding her shoulders for a number of years.”   As it has throughout the season, Juniata played well early and kept things tight. Juniata took the lead on the serving of Tournament MVP Carli Dale. Washington tied the score late at 27, but Juniata followed with kills from Katie Laucks and Lindsey Habel, then an ace from Laucks to seal the win.   “We wanted to get off to a good start and prove that we were going to be annoying and hard to get rid of,” Bock said. “We were able to do that, and then just kept serving and passing well. We did a good job with that.”   Game two was controlled by Juniata most of the way. Juniata led by as many as five, including a late 22-17 edge.  It was Washington that held the lead throughout much of the deciding game. A kill from Stephanie Kines tied the match at 14. The two teams then traded side outs, with a block from Kines finally swinging the lead to 22-20 in favor of Juniata. The Eagles kept the lead at two points down the stretch, until the Bears knotted the match at 25 with a kill from Emilie Walk. Katie Charles and Laucks followed with back-to-back kills, then Habel had a pair of finishes down the

stretch, including the match clincher.   “We wanted to contain their right side hitter (Whitney Smith) and we were able to do a pretty good job with that,” Bock said. “That’s a classy program at Washington, and it was nice to be able to get one against them. It felt right to have it be a Juniata-Washington match for the championship.”   “Juniata’s back court defense was the difference,” Washington Head Coach Rich Luenemann said. “They played defense at the best level of any Division III team. If there’s anyone in America that it was okay to lose to, it was Larry Bock.”  The match was the third time Juniata and Washington have matched up in the championship match. The Bears claimed victories in 1993 and 1996. But Juniata had claimed the last two meetings against Washington, including a

3-0 victory at Washington this year. Juniata ends the year having won 20 consecutive matches.   The victory capped an emotional season for Juniata which saw the team enjoy several program firsts, but also deal with the serious illness of teammate Erin Dodson of Altoona.   Dodson, who was stricken with brain cancer early in the year, made the trip to Rochester to be with her teammates. The Eagles were looking to earn that elusive title for themselves, but also for their legendary coach.   “We didn’t just do this for our team,” Kines said. “We did it for Larry and for every former Juniata volleyball player that has gone through the program.”

Eagles women’s volleyball claims second Division III national title

JUNIATA

By Joel Cookson, Juniata Sports Information Director SALEM, Va. – It took the Juniata College women’s volleyball team 24 trips to the NCAA Tournament before winning the program’s first national championship, which the Eagles accomplished in 2004. Championship number two came much more quickly as Juniata overcame a twogames-to-one deficit to claim a 3-2 win over Washington University (Mo.) in the NCAA Division III Championship match to claim the program’s second Division III national championship Saturday night in Salem, Va. Juniata finishes the season with a record of 41-1 while Washington ends the year 38-2.   After winning game one, the Eagles dropped games two and three behind an offensive assault from Washington. But the Eagles found the answers in games four and five, rallying late in game four and then pulling ahead early in game five to earn the win by scores of 30-27, 20-30, 2230, 30-27, 15-10.   “Washington is just a wonderful team,” Juniata College Head Coach Larry Bock said. “We’re very fortunate to have won a great match against a wonderful team.”  Juniata was led offensively by seniors Stephanie Kines and Rachael Schatz, along with sophomore Amber Thomas. Kines knocked out a career-high 26 kills in her final collegiate match while hitting .412. Her efforts earned her a spot on the NCAA Division III All-Tournament team. Thomas produced 25 kills for Juniata along with 14 digs, as was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Schatz knocked out 21 kills while adding 12 digs in her final contest.   Despite producing just four blocks as a team in the match, and getting outblocked 18-4 by the Bears, Juniata’s offense carried the day. The Eagles pounded out 90 kills in the contest to help overcome a efficient Washington offense that produced 73 kills and hit .312 as a team. Beth Kozak passed out a career-high 75 assists in the match and added 13 digs en route to earning AllTournament Team recognition.   Juniata turned the momentum of the match midway through game four, and carried that into the decisive fifth game. Trailing 24-20 in game four after a kill from Nikki Morrison, Juniata went on a 4-1 run to pull within one spurred by two kills from Schatz. Strong serving from Kozak sparked another run with a kill from Kines giving Juniata Juniata College 2013 Women’s Volleyball

its first lead of the game, 27-26, and then another kills from Kines and one from Schatz gave Juniata the 30-27 win.   Then in the decisive game five, the Eagles turned up the defense as an early double block from Thomas and Erin Albert and then a solo block from Kines followed by kills from Thomas and Schatz put Juniata up 8-6. Two more kills from Kines and Schatz followed by an ace from Kozak made it 13-8 before Washington responded with a kill from Emilie Walk and a double block from Walk and Haleigh Spencer to tighten the game. Kines then stepped up with a huge play as she posted her second block of the game, a solo stuff that moved Juniata to match point, and then Thomas closed the victory with her 25th kill.   Defensively for the Eagles, Megan Sollenberger
