A Legacy Unmatched If you walk into the USC Upstate media relations office, there are mementos of Dr. Joe Bowman’s 40 years in Spartanburg everywhere. Above a filing cabinet, a sewn Spartan Rifle logo in purple and gold from before the school changed its athletic colors to green and white. On top of the filing cabinet, several mementos - NAIA District Six directories from the 80s, USC Spartanburg directories from the 70s, an official Rifle rag from the 80s and several volleyball programs from the 80s. On a bookshelf lies a photo album from USC Spartanburg’s run to the NAIA National Volleyball Tournament in 1987, a scrapbook that documents Bowman’s time as head basketball coach from 1969-74 and a copy of Dr. Bowman’s history of the department, “An Athletic History: The First Twenty-Five Years,” written in 1992. When Dr. Bowman wrote that book 17 years ago, he was merely a Physical Education Professor, five years past his retirement as volleyball coach, so it may have been hard to foresee Dr. Bowman’s impact on the next 20 years of USC Upstate athletics after his solid indent on the period that was the subject of his book. Dr. Bowman has never been one to just walk out the door - and as he prepares to, the many articles of USC Upstate’s history he has gathered are now being handed over to be archived. After all, he’s never had to do it before because in one capacity or another, he’s never left USC Upstate, working for 40 years in either the athletic and/or physical education departments. In between the years 1969 and 2009, Bowman, a 6-4 high school tennis player from Alamogordo, N.M., left a legacy unmatched. --When Dr. Joe Bowman arrived in Spartanburg in 1969, he was a 28-year-old hired to teach in the health and physical education department and “assist with coaching” at the newly-founded regional campus.
in the midst of being built. The first home of the USC Spartanburg basketball team was Evans Junior High School, located in downtown Spartanburg, where former player Jim Smith said “one of the agility drills was chasing rats around the locker room.” Even though the campus of USC Spartanburg was being built three miles North, there was no gym ready. Bowman did the best he could in the precarious circumstances, taking a team that won three games the year before he took over the team to a team that won 10 in 1971-72, his third year with the team.
“Today, due in large part to his efforts and those of the faculty he helped recruit and lead, hundreds of USC Upstate graduates are implementing comprehensive programs of health, fitness and lifelong recreational skills which will improve the lives of thousands of students.” --Up until Bowman’s last year as athletic director in 1974-75, the school had no women’s athletic teams when the women’s basketball program was founded. Coach Bowman worked with the volleyball team as an assistant and a practice player through the first three years after the program was founded in 1975.
The first winning record in school history came in 1972-73, as the Spartan Rifles went 11-9. In 1973-74, in just its seventh year as an institution and Bowman’s fifth as basketball coach, the Rifles became a power in the Junior College Palmetto Athletic Conference.
“Joe would come in and practice some with the team,” Miriam Sheldon, the volleyball coach in 197677, recalled. “He definitely prepared the girls on the necessity of blocking as the consequences of a missed block could at times put a player on the floor.”
The Rifles finished the regular season 15-6 and 9-3 in the conference, good for second in the PAC, losing a chance at the conference title thanks to two regular-season losses to USC Aiken, so it was no surprise that the Rifles met Aiken in the conference tournament title game at the brand-new Hodge Center. This time, Bowman had the Rifles slow down the dangerous Aiken break. Bowman also kept the team motivated when a star forward was ejected from the game with 10 minutes left on a flagrant foul, as the team went on a 12-2 run in the next three minutes. Aiken fought back within a point, but key points lifted USC Spartanburg to a 68-63 win and its first of eight conference titles in the school’s history.
An avid volleyball player with clubs in Spartanburg, Bowman took over the program in 1978 and left perhaps his deepest mark on the USC Spartanburg athletics department in his role as head volleyball coach for the next decade.
Of course, multi-tasking was something Bowman was used to after coaching the College of Santa Fe’s soccer team and serving as both intramural director and as a professor in the health and physical education department.
Days after the season ended, Bowman’s career as a basketball coach also did, his first retirement. The school was in the midst of big changes, moving from a two-year school to a four-year University and with that came new responsibilities for Bowman, who built a curriculum for the physical education and recreation departments and stayed on as the Rifles’ athletic director. He spent the next year helping transform USC Spartanburg’s athletic department from a fledgling two-year program to a fledgling four-year NAIA program before handing the reins of Intercollegiate Athletics over to Paul Mack to focus on his duties as the head of the physical education department, which is where many, including Tom Davis, the school’s Director of Athletics from 197783, think Bowman left his largest mark.
Bowman, who was just seven years removed from a four-year tour of duty in the Navy, patrolling on a ship around the Pacific for much of that time, came to a school that was just two years old and was still
“When he arrived in 1969, the physical education in many of the schools in this area consisted of recess and a play period where the teacher rolled out the balls and told the students to go play,” Davis said.
“I didn’t know what to expect,” Bowman wrote in his athletic department history. “After arriving, I learned that the men’s basketball coach had resigned and that I was now the basketball coach.”
“Volleyball is really a neat sport,” Bowman said. “It’s a strong team sport. You could have the greatest player in the world and without the other five, she wouldn’t be able to win by herself. It’s so interdependent on the workings of everyone.” In his first year at the helm, the Lady Rifles won 20 matches. By 1980, the team won 30 matches and in 1983, not only did he lead the Rifles to a then-school record 42 wins, he also took them to the first of three straight NAIA District Six Tournament finals. His 1984 team set the school record with 45 wins. Dr. Bowman, having graduated from USC with his Ed.D. in 1977, coached 14 all-conference players and won the District Six Coach of the Year award twice, but Bowman is quick to point out that the success didn’t happen quickly, despite never having a losing record in his decade at the helm. “We started to have success and it started to build on itself,” Bowman said. “We gradually got some better kids and the program just grew. It took us a while but we got to the point where we were the best in NAIA District Six. It was a slow workmanlike progression.” That workmanlike progression finally paid off in 1987, Bowman’s 10th season at the helm. Having announced his retirement from the volleyball team, his
2009 USC Upstate Volleyball
Dr. Joe Bowman, 1969-2009 fourth retirement, in September, he helped the Lady Rifles to a 17-5 record before heading to Hawaii for a five-match swing. Although USC Spartanburg lost all the matches in Hawaii to some of the best teams in the country, the trip helped toughen the Rifles. Upon returning to South Carolina, the team finished the regular-season on a 12-2 run. Heading into the District Six Tournament, the Rifles were the No. 2 seed behind Presbyterian. Bowman coached the team to two straight two-set wins over Columbia (S.C.) and Francis Marion before dropping the first set of the winner’s bracket finals to Presbyterian, 12-15. That was all the Blue Hose could get though, as USC Spartanburg won the next two sets, 15-12 and 16-14. After the early match, the Rifles waited as Presbyterian won the loser’s bracket draw and came back for the championship match. The Rifles were ready, though, smashing the Blue Hose, 15-5 and 15-1 to take the title. A week later, the Rifles hosted and beat Nova Southeastern in the Bi-District Championship and Bowman’s retirement was delayed until late November, when the Rifles ended their season at the NAIA National Tournament. --In 1995, Dr. Joe Bowman began an unexpected second career in coaching. The Lady Rifles’ volleyball team had been through five coaches in the seven years since he stepped down in 1987. By 1995, even though the Rifles had won two straight Peach Belt Conference titles, the team was yet again without a coach after Chris Hawkins, the school’s current softball coach, decided not to take on the additional duties after serving as interim coach in 1994. Less than a month before the first serve, Hall, in just his second year as Director of Athletics at USCS, turned to Dr. Bowman to take over the team. With both his sons, Craig and Brian, now out of high school, Bowman took on the responsibilities, with a young student-assistant coach, Jennifer Calloway, by his side. It was a transition year for the Rifles, who had gone 72-12 combined in the previous two years, but under Bowman, the team ebbed and flowed, winning five straight matches in early October but dropping four straight heading into the Peach Belt Tournament. Just as in 1987, though, Bowman had the team ready for the tournament. With a first-round bye into the semifinals, the Rifles posted a four-set win over Augusta State and then, USCS added a straight-set win over UNC Pembroke to clinch the title, Bowman’s second as a volleyball coach. Led by three All-Peach Belt selections in Heather Abrams, Lindsay Richardson and Peach Belt Tournament MVP Michelle Graham, Bowman’s Lady Rifles finished the year 17-14,
his 11th and final winning season with the Rifles. At the end of the year, Bowman handed the team over, retirement No. 5, to the young student-assistant coach Calloway, who under his recommendation was hired by Hall at the tender age of 23. Calloway brought stability to the team and will begin her 14th year as head coach in 2009. --The next stage in Bowman’s career may seem like a bizarre one, but fits his role, as Wofford head volleyball coach Corey Helle said, as a man who will “do what must be done.” After his fifth retirement from coaching in 1995, he took two years off before he got a call from the small college in downtown Spartanburg. Wofford was in the midst of its transition to Division I and at first, the team needed an assistant coach. So Dr. Bowman helped out during the 1996 season. In 1998, he got another call. This time, the Terriers needed a head coach to build the volleyball program into a successful Division I team. Bowman agreed and stayed for four years. Ironically, when Bowman was inducted into USC Upstate Athletics Hall of Fame in the inaugural class in 1999, he was serving as Wofford’s volleyball coach. By his last year at Wofford in 2001, he had built the Terriers from a team that won six matches in his second year to one that went 17-15, the school’s only winning Division I campaign, in his final one. Once again, before retirement No. 6, he left the program in good shape, handing the team to his associate head coach, Corey Helle, who begins his eighth season with the Terriers in 2009. --In many ways, Dr. Bowman’s career at USC Upstate ran in reverse from most typical careers. After all, he started as the school’s Director of Athletics and Men’s Basketball coach. From there, he moved into jobs with non-revenue sports, from golf to bowling and finally, to volleyball. Even his career as a volleyball coach ran in reverse, from being the head coach for 10 years to serving as interim head coach for one year and then, finally, to serving as an assistant coach for the last five years, working for the coach he once hired in Calloway. Bowman, who retired (No. 8) as a full-time professor, came back to the USC Upstate athletic department in 2004 as the school was in the midst of yet more major changes. With the enrollment growing to more than 4,000 students, the school changed its name to USC Upstate from USC Spartanburg to incorporate the Upstate region of South Carolina. During his five years with the team, he helped lead
the Spartans to two 20-win seasons and once again helped a program transition into Division I. As a recruiter, Bowman helped the Spartans gain a national edge, with players coming from New Mexico, Missouri, California and Illinois amongst others. He was still active in practice, running blocking drills and even filling in during drills if needed. At the end of the 2009 season, Bowman announced one more retirement (No. 9), the final one, from athletics for many reasons. One, as he says, he wants to work on his golf game, but just as much, Bowman wanted to free up an opportunity for assistant coach Ashley Stathas to have the chance to be the top assistant for the Spartans. “Our volleyball program has been fortunate to have someone like Dr. Bowman on our staff,” Calloway said. “He is a true competitor and has such a caring, nurturing personality. Our teams, volleyball and across the athletic department, have benefitted from his honesty. He taught us by his example and showed us his unconditional support no matter his role.” --On the first day that Bill English, USC Upstate’s Assistant Athletic Director for Communications, came to work at the school in 2001, Bowman greeted him with a copy of his athletic department history, saying, “I wrote the history of the first 25 years, now you can write the next 25.” And when the time comes for the next 25 years to be written, there will still be plenty of space devoted to Joe Bowman. How many others, in the twilights of their careers, still won a conference title as head coach, then returned as an assistant coach to lead a program into the waters of Division I for the second time in his career? But, then again, it’s not really a surprise. His competitive spirit never could keep Dr. Bowman from the athletics arenas for very long. There’s no doubt he will still compete in retirement, after all, he said he wants to work on his golf game and he still plays soccer once a week. There’s also no doubt that Dr. Joe Bowman, after 40 years at USC Upstate will not become a stranger to either the Louis P. Howell Athletic Complex or the Hodge Center. As former USC Spartanburg men’s soccer coach Frank Kohlenstein said, “Joe definitely bleeds Upstate green.”

Anytime a volleyball team loses six players, it is a chance for a new direction. For USC Upstate, the team will look to head into a new direction, thanks to a strong four-member recruiting class, as well as the continued development of seven players with at least one year with solid starting experience under their belts.
Weiland, a 5-11 Georgia native, had a solid season for Georgia’s AAAA state runner-up, Marist High School, earning First Team All-State, Georgia Athletic Coaches’ Association Senior All-Star and Region 4-AAAA All-Area honors. Weiland averaged 3.27 kills, 0.77 aces and 2.02 digs per set for Marist.
Head coach Jennifer Calloway, heading into her 14th year at the helm of the Spartans, has led Upstate to two straight 11-win seasons as the team has made the transition to Division I. Now entering the third season in the four-year reclassification process, Calloway has a squad that has two established players in the middle, two on the outside and two-year starters at both the setter and libero positions. With four new players that can also blend into the Spartan system, Upstate may actually have more depth than ever at the Division I level.
“Paige comes from a great club volleyball and a strong high school program,” Calloway said. “She has a powerful swing and can really make a quick impact on our program. She is very consistent with her swing and has great ball control. She has the ability to do a lot of things well, whether it be get a dig, an ace, or get a kill.” The team could also look to sophomore Jane Hawryliw or junior Katie Downey to see time at the outside hitter position.
“We are continuing to grow and develop as we transition into Division I,” Calloway, the youngest coach in Division I with 200 career wins, said. “We have a balanced group of players that have experience in Division I and know what to expect and a new group of student-athletes who can contribute immediately at this level.”
The Middle Hitter Upstate returns two players with starting experience at the middle hitter position in junior Katie Downey and sophomore Morgan Thomas, as the pair has led the team in blocks in each of the last three years.
The Outside Hitters Even though the outside hitter position was possibly the hardest hit with the departure of the five graduates from the 2008 season, as the team’s top hitter was Jovana Lubura, the Spartans will benefit from the experience of sophomore Kelsie Queen, who posted 231 kills during her freshman year.
Downey, a 6-1 Belleville, Ill., native, is back after a redshirt season thanks to a broken finger suffered in practice after the first tournament of the season. A tall player with a strong vertical jump, Downey is one of the hardest hitters on the team and one of the best blockers. She averaged 2.85 kills and finished fourth in the A-Sun with an average of 1.03 blocks per game in 2007. Downey can be an allaround player, notching career-highs of 18 kills, nine blocks and 15 digs in 2006.
Queen, who earned a starting spot late in the season and ended up starting 13 matches, developed quickly during her freshman season, finishing the year with “If Katie is healthy, she can dominate plays for us,” Calloway said. “She can be an seven double-digit kill efforts and nine matches with five or more digs. impact player every time on the court. Her timing and jumping ability are aboveaverage and that is why she is able to get so many blocks.

Her strong serve helped her finish just outside the top 10 in the A-Sun in service aces. Healey, a 5-7 St. Louis, Mo., native, is an active, energetic presence on the court. Through two seasons, she had scooped up 737 digs, including leading the team “Jane has great fundamentals that make her a contributor,” Calloway said. “She with 357 digs in 125 sets as a sophomore. Also one of the team’s best servers, plays with finesse and is court smart.” Healey finished seventh in A-Sun play with an average of 0.43 aces per set.

We start the year with a long trip we can get the best results from Morgan and Emily.” and then, other than the A-Sun, we stay close to home with our non-conference schedule and play competitive Division I teams.” Bucciferro, who has started during portions of all three of her seasons at Upstate, saw action in 93 sets as a junior, posting a 4.27 assist-per-set average to go with Thanks to the busy 20-match A-Sun schedule, Upstate will only play three non1.14 digs.

Coaching Staff
Head Coach Jennifer Calloway 14th Year • 257-173 Overall • USC Upstate ’95 One of the youngest and most successful coaches in the NCAA Division I ranks, Jennifer Calloway is entering her 14th season at the helm of the USC Upstate volleyball program. In total, as a player and coach, Calloway has spent the last 16 years in Spartanburg, first as a player, then as an assistant coach before taking the helm as the youngest head volleyball coach in the NCAA in 1996.
Coach Calloway knows the game; she’s been around it most of her life. She’s smart, intuitive and she’s a competitor at heart. And she’s always there for her players, both on and off the court. She has all the elements of a great coach. She IS a great coach.
Calloway, 36, enters the season as the youngest NCAA Division I coach with 200 wins. That is just the beginning of the success that the twotime Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year has experienced in her career. During her 13 years with the Hunter Green, White and Black, Calloway has coached two conference players of the year, three freshmen of the year, two CoSIDA Academic All-District selections and 19 allconference performers.
- former player Becky Greiling Brown
A part of the USC Upstate community for more than a quarter of its 42 years, Calloway stabilized a volleyball program that had seven coaches in a nine-year period when she took over at age 23 in 1996. Since, she has led USC Upstate to a 257-173 (.598) record and two appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Spartans took nine trips to the Peach Belt Conference Tournament semifinals in 11 seasons at the Division II level with Calloway on the bench. In 2004, Calloway was at the helm of the volleyball program when the University changed its name from USC Spartanburg to USC Upstate and its athletic programs’ nickname from Rifles to Spartans. In 2007, she led Upstate athletics into the Division I era, coaching the Spartans in the first athletic event at the D-I level, a 3-0 sweep of Savannah State on Aug. 24. In 2008, Calloway guided the Spartans to an 11-23 overall record. The team recorded many memorable wins, including a 3-2 win over rival Presbyterian for Calloway’s 250th career win and the program’s 300th win at the Hodge Center in a 3-0 sweep of North Carolina Central. The Spartans also closed the year with a third-place finish at the Mr. Gatti’s Proviisional Invitational, beating North Florida for the first time since 1994 in their final match of the season. Two of Calloway’s players also earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week honors during the season. As usual, the team had several academic highlights, with eight studentathletes earning A-Sun All-Academic Team honors.

Calloway began her career at Belleville Area College, now Southwestern Illinois College, in her home state of Illinois. She played two seasons at the school and was named the Great Rivers Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player and All-Region in 1992. She holds the single-season school record for assists (1,509), which is the fifth-highest total ever recorded at a junior college. She also led the team in aces (98) and digs (370).

What They Are Saying About Coach Calloway... Jen Calloway knows the discipline, commitment and talent it takes to be successful in collegiate volleyball. While I played for Jen, she was more of the “quiet caretaker.” I never doubted she cared for us with everything in her; she just did so quietly. She gave us the tools we needed to be successful and expected greatness from us all of the time. Since I left her program in 2005, Jen and I have become good friends. It has been quite a rewarding experience to be her colleague and experience what a great mentor and friend she can be. I have no doubts she is going to succeed in Division I in the same manner she has done in her previous years, and I am lucky to have such an experienced member of the game in my corner. - Amber Glass Cornet Former Head Coach, Augusta State (2005-08); Former Upstate player (2002-04) I have nothing but the utmost respect for Coach Calloway’s program, coaching ethics and knowhow, and team structure. As one of her first recruited players, she taught me more about the game of volleyball than any previous coach, including how to be a team leader, push through diversity and truly excel on and off the court. As USC Upstate transitions into the world of D-I volleyball, I have no doubt that Coach Calloway will once again succeed at what she does best. Her ability to recruit solid all-around athletes, train and keep a team focused as well as motivate a winning spirit will help USC Upstate grow to become a well-respected team in their conference. - Nicolee Thompson, Former Head Coach, Newberry College (2002-04); Former Upstate player (1996-99) As an athlete at USC Upstate, I knew Coach Calloway was connected to my success on and off the volleyball court. She influenced me to work hard in all aspects of life. She taught me there is more to being a successful individual than dominance on the volleyball court and showed support and care for all aspects of my life including school, family, friends and faith. - Shannon Pallardy Former Assistant, South Carolina (2006-08); Former Upstate player (2002-05)
Coach Calloway has always expected a lot from her teams and it has really paid off. During the four years I played for her, we became a well-respected program and made it to the NCAA Tournament twice. She’s done a great job of recruiting wellCalloway, a native of Aviston, Ill., earned a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary rounded girls and has always been a D-I-level coach. Now she has the opportunity studies from USC Upstate in 1995. She and her husband, Brad, are the proud par- to be a part of it. - Kristin Zurlienne, ents of two sons, Joel and Nathan, and one daughter, Jenna. USC Upstate Hall of Fame member; Former Upstate player (1998-2001) Coach Calloway knows the game; she’s been around it most of her life. She’s smart, intuitive and she’s a competitor at heart. While she’s always pushing you, she never degrades you. And she’s always there for her players, both on and off the court. She has all the elements of a great coach. She IS a great coach. Jen makes it fun to be a volleyball player, even when you can’t catch your breath after doing numerous suicides. She’s honest and approachable, and she truly cares about you. She’s one of those people that makes you a better person and she’s also a person that years later, you can call a friend. The direction the University is headed as a D1 school is exciting – it holds a lot of possibilities; both for the University in general and in sports. With Jen as the head volleyball coach, you have someone that knows how to inspire a team, drive a team beyond their limits and take them to that next level. She adapts well to change and can see the big picture. - Becky Greiling Brown, Former Upstate player (1999-2000) 13

Ye a r Tw o I n D-I Campus Edge Fire Hits Close To Home An early-morning fire at the Campus Edge apartment complex destroyed one building at the complex and displaced 25 students on July 31. Less than a month before the volleyball season started, seven volleyball student-athletes were among the students who lost all of their possessions in the fire. However, with the tremendous response by Spartanburg-area firefighters and the help of sophomore Katie Downey, who knocked on several doors to warn people of the fire, everyone in the building escaped without injury. The campus and Spartanburg communities responded by donating money and items to help each student replace their possessions in an outpouring of support greatly appreciated by Upstate and its students.
Holly Mauldin earned her first career A-Sun Player of the Week honors in the last week of the regular season.
Freshman Morgan Thomas led the Spartans in blocks (0.72) and finished fourth on the team in kills.
Ahead of Her Time Head coach Jennifer Calloway became the youngest coach in the NCAA with 250 wins on Sept. 23 when the Spartans notched a 3-2 win over local rival Presbyterian. The 35-year-old’s reign as the youngest coach in the NCAA with 250 wins was short-lived, as Trinity (Conn.)’s Jennifer Bowman, 34, passed the milestone the next week. Calloway is still the youngest D-I coach with 250 career wins. Serbian Sensation Senior Jovana Lubura put together one of the most impressive streaks in the Spartans’ short Division I tenure, as the 6-2 Serbian strung together four straight double-doubles from Oct. 18 to Oct. 25. Lubura, who averaged 12.8 kills and 9.4 digs per match in the last 20 matches, started her run of consecutive double-doubles with 14 kills and 14 digs at Mercer. She followed that with 16 kills and 10 digs against The Citadel, 19 kills and 16 digs against Stetson and 12 kills and 11 digs against Florida Gulf Coast. The run ended on Oct. 31 at Jacksonville, as she managed just three kills and nine digs, but against North Florida the next night, Lubura posted 18 kills and 10 digs. She also added another doubledouble with 11 kills and 15 digs in a five-set match with ETSU on Nov. 11.
A Thousand Helping Hands Senior Holly Mauldin became the first player in the USC Upstate volleyball team’s Division I era to reach 1,000 assists on Nov. 8 against Belmont. Mauldin, who posted 1,211 assists at the Division I level and finished fifth in school history with 2,045 career assists, notched 18 assists and eight digs to lead the Spartans. She is the first player since Upstate moved to Division I in 2007 to reach the 1,000-assist mark and also has a Division-I-era best 18 career doubledoubles. D-I Firsts In back-to-back weeks, the Spartans were able to reach Division I milestones. Sophomore Sandra Campbell became the first player in Upstate’s Division I era to post back-to-back 50-block seasons thanks to three rejections at North Florida on Nov. 1. Sophomore Megan Healey joined Campbell in the D-I superlatives this week, as she become the first player in the Spartans’ D-I era to record back-toback 250-dig seasons with her second dig against Lipscomb on Nov. 7. Mauldin Leaves Her Mark Playing the final regular-season matches of her career, senior Holly Mauldin played some of her best volleyball, as the USC Upstate volleyball team’s setter set a career-high in assists on Nov. 11 against ETSU and followed that with a career-high in digs on Nov. 15 against Campbell. For her efforts, the Columbia, S.C., native was awarded the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week. It was the third ASun Player of the Week award for the Upstate volleyball program. Playing in the final A-Sun matches of her career, she posted a career-high 42 assists and 11 digs in a fiveset match with ETSU. She also notched two aces in the match. While playing in a 6-2 setting rotation for the whole match against Campbell, she had 28 assists and a career-high 19 digs as the Spartans capped their A-Sun season with a four-set win over Campbell. She also tied a career high with five kills

and Thomas notched 2.71 kills and 1.06 blocks per set. She hit .352 in the tournament.
The Four-Headed Monster At times this year, the Spartans saw promising play from senior Jovana Lubura, sophomore Sandra Campbell and freshmen Morgan Thomas and Kelsie Queen. Against ETSU and Campbell, the quartet all delivered at once, as they each notched at least 10 kills in both matches. Against ETSU on Nov. 11, Campbell posted 22 kills while Thomas had 12, Lubura 11 and Queen 10, marking the first time in the D-I era that four Spartans posted 10 kills in the same match. The next day, the Spartan foursome did it again against Campbell, with Lubura posting 14 kills, Queen and Sandra Campbell each adding 12 and Thomas notching 11.
In the third-place match, Upstate defeated one of its old Peach Belt nemesis in North Florida, 3-1. The win broke a 24-match losing streak to the Lady Ospreys that went back to the 1994 season when head coach Jennifer Calloway was still in uniform with the then-Lady Rifles.
Half Grand Senior Jovana Lubura became the 30th player in school history to reach 500 career kills when she notched her eighth of 15 kills against Winston-Salem State on Nov. 21. A two-year letterwinner, Lubura finished ninth in the A-Sun with an average of 2.75 kills per game.
Growing Up Fast The three Upstate freshman all had an immediate impact in 2008, with all three appearing in at least 105 of the team’s 125 sets. Jane Hawryliw averaged 0.91 kills per set and 1.58 digs per set. The Saskatchewan native posted a match-high 14 kills in Upstate’s 3-0 win over Hampton on Sept. 5. Morgan Thomas, a middle blocker, averaged 1.80 kills and a team-high 0.72 blocks per set. Thomas had a career-high 19 kills against North Florida on Nov. 22. Kelsie Queen added 1.97 kills and 0.85 digs per set. Queen posted three straight 15-kill matches from Oct. 21 to Oct. 25.
Provisional Milestones For the first time since the opening of the 1999 season, the USC Upstate volleyball team played three matches in one day, with the Spartans wrapping up their 2008 season with two wins in three matches to finish in third place at the Mr. Gatti’s Provisional Invitational at the Hodge Center. The Spartans defeated N.C. Central, 3-0 (25-22, 25-16, 25-14), in the quarterfinals before Presbyterian defeated Upstate, 3-1 (25-15, 25-17, 18-25, 25-21) in the semifinals. Upstate came back to defeat North Florida, 3-1 (27-25, 25-22, 21-25, 25-19), in the third-place match. Upstate earned two nods on the all-tournament team, with senior Jovana Lubura and freshman Morgan Thomas each were placed on the team. Lubura averaged 4.06 kills per set and hit a solid .329 with 1.88 digs per set during Upstate’s five matches

Home Court Advantage The Spartans started the tournament portion of the Provisional Invitational on Nov. 22 with a historic win over N.C. Central in the quarterfinals, as the program won its 300th match on the floor of the Hodge Center. In 33 seasons, the Spartans have posted a 301-100 (.751) in the building. Senior Jovana Lubura earned Provisional Invitational All-Tournament honors and led Upstate in kills.
Dig For The Cure Thanks to a five-set match that featured 72 USC Upstate kills, 77 digs and 67 assists against Stetson on Oct. 24 at the Hodge Center, the USC Upstate volleyball team was able to raise $1,123.80 for the Upstate South Carolina affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure, an organization that is dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. For the special match, the Spartans wore pink jerseys and several wore pink headbands during the match. Sophomore Megan Healey finished amongst the top 10 in the A-Sun in service aces for the second year in a row.

Spartan History
USC Upstate Athletic Hall of Fame Members Established in 1998, the USC Upstate Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have outstanding athletic accomplishments or who made significant contributions to USC Upstate athletics. Since 1998, eight players and coaches with significant ties to the volleyball program have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, third at the school to only men’s soccer and men’s basketball in the number of inductions.
Dr. Joe Bowman
Carla Gambrell
Sara Henrichs
Kristin Korte
Dr. Joe Bowman was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame in the class of 1999, one of the first three inductees. In 40 years at Upstate, he served as director of athletics, men’s basketball coach, bowling coach and golf coach, among other various duties at the school.
Carla Gambrell ‘91 was the second former Lady Rifle volleyball player to get inducted, when she was inducted in 2003. Gambrell, now Carla Pesce, was a dual sport student-athlete, playing volleyball and women’s basketball. She made her biggest impact on the volleyball team. A four-year starter, she helped the Lady Rifles to a 135-42 record during her four years. She was named NAIA District Six Player of the Year in 1987 and earned All-America honors in 1988. She led USCS to three appearances in the NAIA national championships.
Sara Henrichs ‘99 earned her induction into the Hall of Fame in 2005. Henrichs, now Sara Durham, was a member of the volleyball team for three seasons from 1996-98. In just three years, she set the all-time kills and attacks records at the time. Though those two marks have been surpassed, she still ranks third all-time with 1,367 kills and fourth with 2,969 attacks. She also ranks ninth all-time with 923 digs.
Kristin Korte Zurliene ‘02 was the sixth person affiliated with the volleyball program to be inducted into the USC Upstate Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007.
Class of 1999
Class of 2003
His biggest impact on a program, though, may be his impact on the volleyball program. He began coaching the team in 1978 and stayed for 10 years at the helm, compiling 333 wins and three 40-win seasons.
Class of 2005
Class of 2007
Zurliene was a standout on the volleyball team from 1998-2001. By the time she left the program, she held the all-time records for kills, kill attempts, aces and digs. She continues to top the all-time digs list with 1,688 and ranks second all-time with 1,407 kills and 196 aces.
Bowman stepped down in 1987 to focus on teaching, but when an emergency replacement was needed in 1995, he retook the helm and won a Peach Belt Conference Championship.
She had the best year of her career in 1988. She tallied a school-record 630 kills on 1,264 attempts for a 5.08 kills per game average.
Durham was the model of consistency throughout her three-year career at the University, leading the team in kills, hitting percentage, and blocks all three years. She also led the team in service aces in 1996. She earned Team Most Valuable Player honors all three years as well.
Michelle Graham
Heather Abrams
Lindsay Richardson
Kim Pitman
Michelle Graham ‘96 was the first volleyball player inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame, getting the call in 2002. Graham, who graduated cum laude in 1996, had just as impressive a career in academics as she did in athletics.
Heather Abrams ‘97 was the third player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004. She played on the women’s basketball team for four years and the volleyball squad in 1995 and 1997. One of the most accomplished players in the women’s basketball program’s history, Abrams also helped the volleyball team to a Peach Belt Conference Tournament Championship in 1995.
Lindsay Bright ‘98, formerly Lindsay Richardson, was the fifth volleyball player to be inducted into the USC Upstate Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.
Kim Pitman ‘01 was the seventh in the tradition of volleyball players earning Hall of Fame honors when she was inducted in 2008.
Bright was a member of the volleyball team for four seasons from 1994-97. She saw action in 138 matches and 452 games in her career. She finished her career with 1,093 kills, one of just six players in the history of the program to reach 1,000 kills. She also tallied 159 aces, 1,072 digs, and 119 total blocks. She led the team to a 96-45 record, including a 38-4 mark her freshman season when the squad finished the Peach Belt Conference with a perfect 10-0 record. She helped the team to a 30-12 conference record during her four years.
Pitman, a JuCo transfer, was a standout player on the volleyball team for two seasons. She helped lead USC Spartanburg to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament and 49 wins. She was a two-time all-conference selection and was named the 2001 Peach Belt Player of the Year.
Class of 2002
Class of 2004
Graham, now Michelle Boehringer, was named South Carolina’s NCAA Woman of the Year in 1996 and was also named USCS’ Female Student-Athlete of the Year. She earned Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll recognition four times and was a Chancellor’s List honoree twice. Named to the GTE Academic All-Region volleyball team, she was also an All-American Collegiate Scholar in 1994-95. She was named the Peach Belt Tournament Most Valuable Player in 1995.
33
In addition to her play on the courts, she also was an outstanding student, earning Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll honors all four years while also qualifying for the Dean’s List at USCS throughout her academic career.
Class of 2006
Zurliene was the driving force on the then-Rifles volleyball team that made its first NCAA Tournament berth in 2000. She led the team with 423 kills, 55 aces, and 455 digs en route to a 2411 record.
Class of 2008
Pitman had an outstanding year as a junior, finishing the season with 341 kills and 123 total blocks as a middle hitter. A dominant player in the middle, she led the team to a 24-11 record and the program’s first berth in the D-II Tourna-

Conference Championships Three NAIA District Six Titles Five Peach Belt Conference Titles 1987 Overall Record: 35-14 NAIA District Six Champions NAIA Bi-District XI Champions NAIA National Tournament, 1-3
Head coach Joe Bowman announced his retirement near the end of the season and the USC Spartanburg volleyball team took him on a wild ride, through the school’s first District Six title and all the way to the NAIA National Tournament in Milwaukee, Wis. The Lady Rifles were led by Carla Gambrell and All-District selection Diane Babington. The Spartans lost just one game during the District Six Tournament, winning the championship in a sweep over Presbyterian, 15-5, 15-1.
1988 Overall Record: 32-12 NAIA District Six Champions NAIA Bi-District XI Champions NAIA National Tournament, 0-4
The Lady Rifles had a new coach in Mark Cooke, but the results were the same, as they won their second straight District Six and Bi-District XI titles en route to the National Tournament in Topeka, Kan. With All-American Carla Gambrell and and All-District selections Angie Gambrell, Carla’s cousin, and Tonya Wright, the Lady Rifles fought back on championship Saturday at the district tournament, beating the College of Charleston in the finals, 16-14, 15-5, after dropping a match to the Cougars in their first shot at the title.
1989 Overall Record: 33-8 NAIA District Six Champions NAIA Bi-District XI Champions NAIA National Tournament, 0-4
Even with their third coach in three years in Nancy Cummings, the Lady Rifles cruised through another District Six Tournament and beat Nova Southeastern for the Bi-District XI Championship for the third straight year, earning a trip to the NAIA National Tournament in Hawaii. The Gambrell cousins and setter Monica Henderson led the way for the Rifles as seniors, who moved into Division II at the conclusion of the season.
1993 Overall Record: 34-6 Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Co-Champions Peach Belt Conference Tournament Champions
In his second year as head coach, Chris Sturgill assembled one of the finest squads in school history, as the Lady Rifles went 34-6 and posted a 41 record in the Peach Belt Conference. With three All-Conference performers in Dawn Troutman, Jan Chapman and Jennifer Jones in the Rifles’ arsenal, they won all three of their Peach Belt Tournament matches, downing USC Aiken in four games in the championship.
1994 Overall Record: 38-4 Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Champions Peach Belt Conference Tournament Champions
Chris Hawkins took over as the head coach just before the season began and led the Lady Rifles to the highest winning percentage in school history, as the Rifles posted a remarkable 38-4 record. With the Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year in Jennifer Jones, Academic All-District selection Michelle Graham and All-Peach Belt selections in Jolene Person and Heidi Ryan, the Rifles had a loaded lineup. The team won its first 27 matches and wrapped up the year with five straight wins.
1995 Overall Record: 17-14 Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Runner-Up Peach Belt Conference Tournament Champions
Joe Bowman returned to the sidelines in 1995 as Chris Hawkins focused on his duties as head softball coach. The Lady Rifles responded with their third straight Peach Belt Tournament title, as Bowman led the team to an 8-2 record in the Peach Belt and wins over Augusta State and UNC Pembroke in the tournament. Heather Abrams, Lindsay Richardson and Michelle Graham each earned All-Peach Belt honors. At the end of the season, Bowman stepped down as head coach, handing the squad to his assistant, Jennifer Calloway, who is still at the helm.

Spartan History
Postseason Tournaments Two NCAA Division II Tournament Appearances 2000 Overall Record: 24-11 Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Third Place Peach Belt Conference Tournament Quarterfinalist NCAA Division II South Region Participant
In her fifth season as head coach, Jennifer Calloway led the Lady Rifles to the NCAA Division II Tournament for the first time in school history. With a team led by two USC Upstate Hall of Famers in Kim Pitman and Kristin Korte, the Lady Rifles posted a 9-5 record in the Peach Belt Conference, good for a third place finish in the conference. The Lady Rifles started the season redhot, posting a 15-3 record out of the gate, including 3-1 marks at three tournaments and two five-game winning streaks. When the Rifles got into the Peach Belt regular season, they finished as hot as a team can, posting three straight wins to conclude the regular season, downing second-place Armstrong Atlantic State and third-place USC Aiken in the stretch. Although they lost in the Peach Belt Tournament Quarterfinals, the Rifles still earned a bid to the NCAA South Region, falling to Armstrong Atlantic State in the first round.
2001 Overall Record: 25-8 Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Runner-Up Peach Belt Conference Tournament Semifinalist NCAA Division II South Region Participant
Thanks to a second-place finish in the Peach Belt Conference and the most wins in the Calloway era, the 2001 Lady Rifles made a repeat trip to the NCAA Division II Championship. Led by Peach Belt Player of the Year Kim Pitman and All-Peach Belt Conference selections Kristin Korte, Erin Kopec and Kendall Harper, the Rifles posted their highest finish in the conference since 1995. Pitman had a season for the record books, as she hit a phenomenal .408 with 535 kills, which still stands as an Upstate NCAA record. She also posted 147 blocks on the season. Kopec was a welcome accomplice, as she set a school-record with 1,466 assists during the season. The Rifles started the season 3-3, but won 19 of their next 20 matches, claiming a tournament title at USC Aiken, to improve to 22-4 and a strong 9-1 in the conference. They dropped two more Peach Belt Conference matches, but won three matches in a row to close the regular season. After bowing out in the semifinals of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, the Rifles fell in the opening round of the Division II Tournament to Armstrong Atlantic State.

The father of Upstate volleyball, Joe Bowman nurtured the program from its infancy and turned the Lady Rifles into District Champions by the time he stepped down in 1987. He came back in 1995 for another go-round as head coach and led the team to a Peach Belt Tournament title. In 2004, he came back again for five seasons, this time as an assistant to Coach Calloway.

Athletics Association / Compliance A Brief Guide To NCAA Rules For Alumni, Faculty And Friends “Institutional control” of athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA legislation. As such, the USC Upstate is responsible for ensuring that members of the faculty and staff, coaches, student-athletes, alumni, donors, boosters and friends of the institution comply with all applicable NCAA rules. The information below is intended to provide a basic overview of NCAA rules governing USC Upstate alumni, faculty and friends. Because of the complexity of the rules, the following does not include all applicable situations and should not be relied upon exclusively. USC Upstate appreciates your interest and support but reminds you an inappropriate contact or action on your part can jeopardize the eligibility of a prospective or enrolled student-athlete and the university. If you have specific questions, please contact Upstate’s Compliance Office at (864) 503-5793. Compliance with NCAA rules is of the highest priority for our athletics program and institution. Even the best-intentioned action on your part may be a violation of NCAA rules. Please remember to ASK before you ACT.

This is the Atlantic Sun For more than 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas with a focus on the balance between the two for its student-athletes. The A-Sun boasts a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region, with all committed to the conference goal of Building Winners for Life. The experience for a student-athlete in the A-Sun is supported by the entire university community, from coaches to faculty, and from the CEO’s to the athletic and academic support staff. Atlantic Sun studentathletes compete in outstanding facilities throughout the conference and in some of top markets in the Southeast. Eight A-Sun schools compete in the top 10 media markets within the conference’s five-state footprint. With All-America selections, National All-Academic honorees, teams and individuals qualifying for and advancing in NCAA Championship play, A-Sun student-athletes achieve at the highest levels of collegiate athletics. ACADEMIC SUCCESS Continuing a tradition of academic achievement, more than 57 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status during the 2008-09 academic year. Fifteen student-athletes earned places on the 2008-09 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic AllDistrict Teams. Belmont led the impressive institutional totals in the race for the All-Academic Trophy for the seventh time in eight years with 66.5 percent of its the student-athletes achieving All-Academic status with grade point averages of a 3.00, or better. Belmont senior Andy Wicke, Jacksonville senior Jeremy Gillan, Lipscomb junior Kellie Sirus and Campbell senior Karlie Love earned spots on CoSIDA/ESPN the
Magazine Academic All-America teams. Lipscomb’s men and women track and field teams and the women’s cross country team ranked among the top 10 GPAs in NCAA Division I, in being recognized as All-Academic Scholar Teams from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The Belmont men’s cross country team posted the fifthhighest GPA, according to the USTFCCCA. Wicke, one of the Bruins’ most celebrated studentathletes, shared the conference’s male Scholar Athlete of the Year award and earned the conference’s Postgraduate Scholarship. Mercer’s Chereese Rowe earned the conference’s second Postgraduate Scholarship. Wicke earned national acclaim as he became one of just two men’s basketball players to receive an educational grant through the NCAA postgraduate scholarship program. For his dedicated academic success and community service, Wicke landed on the Lowe’s All-Senior All-America Second Team and was one of 10 finalists for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award. ATHLETIC SUCCESS For the second straight season, the A-Sun made early headlines on the hardwood as Mercer, under new head coach Bob Hoffman, went on the road and defeated Alabama and Auburn within a four-day span, shooting the Bears up to the top spot in the RPI. At the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Championship, ETSU ended Belmont’s three-year reign, winning its first A-Sun Tournament title and making the NCAA field for the eighth time. During the Championship, Courtney Pigram became just the second player in league history to reach the 2000- point plateau. Two players could reach that mark this season in Mercer’s James Florence and Campbell’s Jonathan Rodriguez. Florence and Campbell begin the season as the second- and third-highest active scorers in the nation. During the baseball season, three A-Sun hurlers, Lipscomb’s Rex Brothers and Kennesaw State’s duo of Chad Jenkins and Kyle Heckathorn moved up the draft boards of Major League teams with every
dominating performance. Brothers turned in one of the league’s top single-season strikeout performances; Jenkins posted a 41-inning scoreless streak and Heckathorn capped his season with a dominating 15-strikeout performance against UNF, earning National Player of the Week honors. On draft night, Jenkins became just the seventh A-Sun player to be a first-round selection, going to the Blue Jays. In the supplemental phase of the first round, the Rockies picked Rex Brothers and the Brewers tabbed Heckathorn. In softball, the conference turned in one of its finest seasons in history, especially during the non-conference season. Against out-of-conference opposition, A-Sun schools posted a .602 win percentage, the fifth-highest in the nation, trailing only the SEC, Pac10, ACC and Big 12. Five schools finished with win percentages better than .600 and FGCU and Mercer reached the 40-win mark. The Eagles established a league record for win percentage at .839 in posting a 47-9 record. For the second-consecutive May, Campbell emerged victorious at the A-Sun Championship, led by the dominating performance of MVP Brittany Stanley. She pitched all 31 innings, recorded two shutouts and struck out 26 against only two walks. One of the most dominating athletes in Atlantic Sun history closed out her career in Jacksonville’s Natasha Harvey. She led the Dolphins team titles in both Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field for a fourthstraight year and won the inaugural MVP honors at both meets as well as the Most Outstanding Field Performer award. During her four years, she won a combined 18 individual events, five Most Outstanding Performer awards, both Most Outstanding Freshman performers in addition to the two MVP honors. Off the track, she won the A-Sun’s Female Student-Athlete of the Year Award, was the A-Sun’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award and appeared on the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic team for a fourth-straight year.
