2009 SEASON OUTLOOK

WWW.UTMSPORTS.COM


2009 OUTLOOK The UT Martin volleyball program is coming off what many referred to as a “shocking” season last year. The Skyhawks however never saw it as a shock that they had success on the court, they treated last year like they were supposed to be contenders and the start of this year is no different. UT Martin is now looking to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke and they are true contenders not only to make it back to the conference tournament, but to also hoist a championship trophy at the end as well. During the offseason, Darrin McClure had the interim tag removed from his coaching title and officially became the sixth head coach in the program’s history. That along with the retention of graduate assistant coach Kristi Fiorillo created stability in the program, allowing them to bring in another heralded recruiting class that is expected to contribute right away. The newest Skyhawks will have to contribute immediately because during the offseason UT Martin also became one of the youngest teams in the country and the youngest in the OVC. The biggest loss came with the graduation of four seniors who each took a wealth of experience with them. UT Martin enters this season with no seniors on the roster and three juniors, two of which are transfers playing their first year in a Skyhawks uniform. Four sophomores return this year as well, along with the four new freshmen and one red shirt freshmen. NEWCOMERS The 2009 recruiting class is filled with championship experience ranging from the high school state championship level to club team national championships. The class is a balance of young talent with four high school newcomers to go along with a pair of junior college transfers, which include the 2007 Nevada Female Athlete of the Year and an AVCA All-American. “I feel very confident in this whole class and their abilities to contribute to our program early on,” said McClure. “This is a very unique group because of the varying levels of competition they all come from and many have the ability to make an immediate impact.” The new faces on the Skyhawks roster will have ample opportunity to contribute from the start because the Skyhawks enter the year not only as the youngest team in the Ohio Valley Conference but also one of the youngest in the nation. McClure added about the newcomers that “they are all going to come in and compete for playing time, the transfers and many of the freshmen know

6

they are good enough to come in and play right away so that will build a great sense of competition each day in practice.” RETURNING PLAYERS The Skyhawks lost a wealth of experience last year with the graduation of four, four-year seniors but at the same time will have a lot more experience on the floor than expected from a team with no seniors and only one three year junior. Lauren Montague will be looked upon as the natural leader of the team, being the eldest member of the squad. She gained an extra year of experience last season after an early knee injury forced her to the sideline and resulted in a red shirt season. Now that she has fully recovered and is back on the floor, the red shirt-junior also pulls from her experience on the sideline to act as an on-floor coach as well now. Last year’s freshman class of Ashley Doherty, Christen Clements and Britany Wilburn each saw considerable time on the floor in their first year and all enter their sophomore campaigns ready to build on the success they had as freshmen. Also coming back as a sophomore is Jenna Miller who opened her career as the starting setter for the Skyhawks before a mid-season back injury ended her year early. Another thing all the returners bring with them into 2009 is a chip on their shoulder. Despite finishing among the top six teams in the conference, not one Skyhawk was named to either the All-OVC First or Second Team. Standing at the conference awards ceremony seeing awards handed out to three players from teams that didn’t even qualify for the tournament, yet none from UT Martin left a hunger and a desire with the returning players that has been building since the end of last year. OUTSIDE HITTERS UT Martin is very deep at outside hitter this season. That depth will come in handy as it is faced with replacing a pair of seniors that were staples in the Skyhawks line up over the last few years; Taylor Noland who led the team in kills, and Breanne Carey. Leading the way this year will be Montague along with Katie Redman, who transferred to UT Martin from Feather River College in Quincy, Calif. Prior to Montague’s season-ending injury last year she appeared in seven matches and tallied 2.10 kills-per-set. “Lauren has come back this season in excellent

shape and will really do a lot for us this season,” said McClure. On the other side of Montague will be Redman, who from her outside hitter position helped lead Feather River College to a 36-16 record over two years, including a pair of appearances in the California state playoffs. In her two seasons at Feather River Redman was twice named the school’s Female Athlete of the Year. During the 2007 season she was named all-conference honorable mention; then followed that up in 2008 by making the first team allconference squad.

Britany Wilburn Preseason All-OVC Second Team Also emerging at the outside hitter spot during preseason practice is Christen Clements who was recruited as a middle blocker and saw a lot of time on back row defense as a freshman. Her versatility has allowed her to transition to any position on the court more easily. A pair of freshmen, Kelly Hogan and Kelsea Merriweather, also add valuable depth to the position and bring a great deal of successful experience with them from high school. During the 2007 season, Hogan recorded the Rosary High School singleseason record for service aces (65), only to break her own record in 2008 with 66, which also gave her the Rosary career record of 175 aces. She also tallied 66 blocks in 2008, which set the single-season blocks record as well.

Merriweather set a pair of records in high school as well at nearby Jackson Southside, becoming the school’s single-season kills leader with 1,019 last year. She also had a serving percentage of 92.4 and was crowned the district and region most valuable player as a junior and senior. MIDDLE BLOCKERS The Skyhawks also have a lot of depth and experience at middle blocker to anchor the front line. Returning from last year is Britany Wilburn who emerged in her freshman season as one of the top players in the Skyhawks lineup. The walk-on a earned a starting role from the first match then appeared in all 33 of the season. Wilburn, who was named to the preseason AllOVC Second Team, tallied 245 kills on 584 attempts and had the highest hitting percentage on the team at .281 last season. Wilburn also recorded 10 or more kills eight different times with a season-best 15 at home against Eastern Kentucky, while also turning away four or more blocks in a match 12 times on her way to a team leading total of 94. “We have a lot of talent at this position and it is really going to be an interesting battle to see who wins out,” said McClure. Also coming back from a very productive freshman season is Ashley Doherty. After missing the start of the year with an ankle injury, Doherty turned in a very productive season. On the year she tallied 201 kills on 523 attempts, averaging 1.99 kills per set, and hitting .250. She also turned away 69 blocks on the year and recorded four or more blocks seven times. Red shirt freshman Ellee Agee is available for the Skyhawks at middle blocker this year after being forced to miss last year with a shoulder injury. Also adding depth to the middle blocker spot and contending for playing time from day one will be transfer Jenna Kragt from Walla Walla Community College. During her two-year stay at Walla Walla Kragt helped lead the team to a two-year record of 70-21 while recording 679 kills and turning away 268 blocks in her career. Kragt helped lead her team to a first place finish in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College East Region standings and a berth in the NWAACC Championships, which cover Oregon and Washington, where they finished runner-up. Kragt also earned numerous individual accolades at Walla Walla, most notably of which was a selection to the 2008 AVCA All-American Second Team. McClure said about Kragt that, “Jenna has a ton of talent that will help her earn a spot on the floor this

2009 OUTLOOK year and the experience she picked up at Walla Walla will help make that transition a much smoother one.” SETTERS UT Martin returns sophomore Jenna Miller to the setter position this year after she was sidelined prematurely with a back injury only 15 matches into the season last year. Miller, who earned the opening weekend start as a true freshman, led the team with 5.57 per set at the time of her injury. She also picked

Ashley Doherty up 80 digs in her shortened season along with a pair of double-doubles in her first two collegiate matches. Joining Miller at the setter position will be freshman Kelsey Miles from St. Benedict at Auburndale in Memphis, Tenn. Miles brings a great deal of experience from her high school career, where she helped her team capture three regional and substate championships along with extensive play with her club team and the junior national team. Miles most recently captained the junior national team in 2008 and 2009. McClure commented that, “I am very confident in both setters this year. Despite Jenna coming off an injury, she really knows our players and if she comes back just the same as before she got hurt we will be in good shape.” McClure added that, “Kelsey will also contend for

playing time at setter because she has a great deal of talent and works very hard every day.” DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST “Before we even take the floor I feel that we are a better defensive team than we were last year,” said McClure. Helping McClure feel that way is the addition of Kasey Elswick to the roster. A prep standout at Assumption High School in Louisville, Ky., she helped her team win three consecutive Kentucky state championships from 2005-07. Elswick also helped Assumption pick up three consecutive regional championships, to go along with four straight district title crowns. Elswick also enjoyed great success away from her Assumption team, competing on a pair of AAU National Championship squads in 2005 and 2007 in addition to leading her squad to a second place finish in the AAU National Tournament in 2006. Elswick was also a member of the USA Volleyball Junior Olympic runner-up team in 2005 and most recently helped earn a bronze medal in the Junior Volleyball Director’s Association National Tournament. With a resume like that, the defensive specialist obviously comes to the Skyhawks with a wealth of talent and experience competing at the highest levels. Hogan can also move from her primary outside hitter spot to the defensive specialist role and provide quality depth at the position. SCHEDULE The Skyhawks will open the season with a two day trip, August 28-29, to Ruston, La., where they will participate in a tournament hosted by Louisiana Tech. UT Martin will square off with Centenary and the tournament-host Lady Techsters on the first day, before finishing with pair of matches against Arkansas Pine-Bluff and South Alabama. The Skyhawks will then travel to Bloomington, Ind., where they will face Indiana, Illinois-Chicago and Kentucky at the Indiana Adidas Classic. The Indiana Adidas Classic will allow McClure to gage early in the season where his team stands as they face some of the toughest competition of the season. UT Martin will open the tournament against host Indiana, who finished 17-15 in 2008 and was the first Big Ten conference member left out of the NCAA Tournament. UT Martin will then face Illinois-Chicago and Kentucky on day two of the tournament. Kentucky

finished 2008 ranked No. 20 in the Bison/AVCA Coaches Poll and will return a pair of All-SEC players to the lineup. September 8 will mark the home opener for UT Martin as they welcome Arkansas State of the Sun Belt Conference to the Fieldhouse before traveling to Evansville of the Missouri Valley Conference Sept. 14. UT Martin will begin the OVC portion of its schedule with three straight home matches, beginning with Eastern Kentucky Sept. 18. The first conference road trip will take UT Martin to the home of the reigning OVC champions, Tennessee Tech. UT Martin will step out of conference action for the last time Oct. 13 when it visits in-state rival Memphis of Conference USA before returning home to face Tennessee State on the 16th. The Oct. 16 Tennessee State match will also be the annual “Dig Pink” date where the Skyhawks will honor breast cancer survivors and again participate in fund raising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The final home weekend for the Skyhawks will see border-rival Murray State come to town Nov. 5, before OVC newcomer SIU Edwardsville makes its first visit to the Fieldhouse, Nov. 6. UT Martin will conclude regular season action on the road at Austin Peay and Tennessee State before the OVC Tournament which is scheduled for Nov. 19-21. The 2009 schedule features fewer games for UT Martin than the 2008 schedule did, but McClure explains that as by design. “As coaches we tend to push too much at times and forget the value of time off for a team. The travel schedule for our conference can be tough on a team without an appropriate amount of time off for recovery and since we struggled with injuries last season I wanted to do as much as I could to balance that out this year,” said McClure. Despite having fewer total games on the schedule, the number of home matches was increased to 11 this year. This will give Skyhawks fans ample opportunity to see their team play, which is something that excites McClure. “The Fieldhouse is a really fun atmosphere for college volleyball,” commented McClure. “The community really supports our program and the level of support is incredible, which helps make our home court advantage one of the best in the conference.”

COACHING STAFF DARRIN McCLURE Head Coach Second Season Career Record: 9-24 (.273)

McClure Coaching Philosophy “Excellence is achieved by the mastery of fundamentals.” -Vince Lombardi

Darrin McClure enters his second season at the helm of The University of Tennessee at Martin volleyball program. Having previously served as an assistant coach in 2005 and 2006 seasons, then guiding the program back to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament for the first time in six seasons as interim head coach for the 2008 campaign, McClure was officially named the program’s sixth head coach January 13, 2009. In his first season guiding the program on an interim basis, McClure was able to bring in a talented recruiting class that contributed from day one. That paired with a core group of returners helped him lead the Skyhawks to a 9-24 overall record but more impressively a 7-11 OVC mark, which matched the most conference wins for the program since winning the league in 2002 with a 15-1 OVC record. McClure also guided UT Martin back to the OVC Tournament, which hadn’t been done since the 2002 season. Prior to returning to his undergraduate alma mater in a head coaching capacity, McClure was a history teacher at Martin Middle School. At the same time he also directed the volleyball program at the University School of Jackson and guided them through the rebuilding process after graduating a wealth of talent from their district championship squad. With a majority of freshmen and sophomores on the floor, McClure guided USJ to a thirdplace showing in his first year at the helm. Additionally, McClure also coached the Jackson Juniors Club Team to a second-place finish in the region. The Jackson Juniors were formally known as the Gotcha Volleyball Club, which McClure was a cofounder of in 2004. McClure gained valuable playing experience prior to joining the UT Martin volleyball program. He played middle blocker and outside hitter for the Paducah Volleyball Club for five years from 1994-99 and guided them to a pair of tournament victories. McClure was also part of the Spike-It-Up Amateur Volleyball Tour that competed 2v2 competition throughout the Southeast and Midwest. McClure helped guide his Spike-It-Up team to its highest finish of third during a tour stop in Cincinnati, Ohio. During the off-season, prior to the start of the 2008 campaign, McClure attended the Gold Medal Squared Coaching Camp, an elite coaching clinic conducted by former US Olympic team coach Carl McGowan and twotime Olympic gold medal winning coach Marv Dumphy. McClure and some of the top collegiate coaches in the nation worked with the Olympic pair to learn from their proven coaching and motivational techniques. McClure is married to his wife Jennifer, who is also a graduate of UT Martin and the couple is expecting their first child. 10

“This quote helps shed light on my entire coaching philosophy. I believe that when we work hard and become diligent at the basics, the game as a whole, becomes easier. We spend a lot of time in practice working on fundamentals and I always challenge my players to see the real world application that can be learned through sports. While obviously, I want a team full of players who can produce on the volleyball court, I also want good people and good students. Very few college volleyball players will go on to compete professionally, so I stress the importance of earning a degree and getting a good education while they are at UT Martin. When a player finishes her career playing under me it is my desire that two things occur; they still have a love and passion for the game and they are more capable to function in the real world because of the experiences gained as a student- athlete in our program.”

SKYHAWKS COMMUNITY SERVICE The UT Martin volleyball team makes great strides to give back to the local community through awareness nights at home matches, camps throughout the west Tennessee and west Kentucky region along with participating in community service events like the annual canned food drive with the UT Martin Student-Athlete Advisory Council. Last season, the Skyhawks joined with teams around the Ohio Valley Conference and the NCAA for a second year of “Dig Pink� where the Skyhawks all donned pink warmups for a match and collected donations for every dig by a UT Martin player in that match. In addition to raising over $2,400 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the volleyball team also took time to recognize all the cancer survivors in the crowd that day. The volleyball team also visited nearby Martin Middle School where they spent a few days teaching the middle school students about the game of volleyball. The players worked with students during the physical education classes, teaching them not only about the fundamentals of the game but also the value of sportsmanship.

LOOKING BACK AT 2008

WWW.UTMSPORTS.COM


2008 IN REVIEW The 2009 UT Martin volleyball season ushered in a new era as Darrin McClure took over as the program’s sixth head coach. The team entered the year being overlooked and were predicted to finish in the cellar of the Ohio Valley Conference. That was quite contrary to what McClure and the Skyhawks had planned though as they exceeded all preseason expectations, matching the most OVC wins and returning to the OVC Tournament for the first time since 2002 when the Skyhawks claimed the conference crown. UT Martin opened the year at the Lady Govs Invitational and quickly picked up a pair of wins over Northwestern State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to start the season with back-to-back wins. In those two matches freshman setter Jenna Miller tallied a pair of season-high double-doubles, which helped her earn a spot on the Lady Govs Invitational All-Tournament Team. Freshman Britany Wilburn also exploded on the scene in her first match by hitting .550 against Northwestern State with 11 kills. That performance ended the year as one of the top five singlematch hitting performances all season. On the second day

Britany Wilburn began the 2008 season as a walk on player but quickly earned a starting role and registered a team high hitting percentage of .281 and led the Skyhawks with 94 blocks.

36

The freshmen class played well above its experience level in 2008. Despite two freshmen missing the entire season and one half the season because of injuries, the freshmen still accounted for 85 percent of the Skyhawks’ blocks, 36 percent of points scored, 20 percent of all assists and 19 percent of the digs in 2009.

of the Lady Govs Invitational UT Martin dropped a pair of non-conference matches to fellow OVC members SIU Edwardsville and Austin Peay. The Skyhawks then traveled to Arkansas State for a match with the Red Wolves. On that trip the team learned that junior outside hitter Lauren Montague would be lost for the season because of injury, but freshman Ashley Doherty would become cleared to play. UT Martin then continued its road show when it traveled to Chicago for the Loyola Invitational and Fayetteville, Ark., for the University of Arkansas Tournament. The Skyhawks finished up early season tournament play without a win in the two trips to Loyola and Arkansas but the young team gained valuable experience against some of the top teams in the country from the power conferences. That experience showed in their very next game after returning from the Arkansas Tournament. The Skyhawks made their home debut with the first conference match of the year by downing border-rival Murray State 3-1. The Skyhawks then dropped a pair of OVC matches before rebounding with a 3-2 win over Eastern Kentucky to finish the month of September 2-2 in conference play. In October UT Martin began the month in middle Tennessee, facing OVC foes Tennessee State and Austin Peay. After falling in both of those matches UT Martin closed out its non-conference schedule with a trip to Nashville and a date with Lipscomb. The Lipscomb match on Oct. 7 in

Allen Arena took place only two miles away from the second presidential debate that was also happening in Nashville at the same time. Despite taking Lipscomb to five sets, UT Martin fell 3-2 against the Bisons of the Atlantic Sun. The Skyhawks then returned to conference play by picking up the first-ever win in program history over recent powerhouse Jacksonville State. More impressively the straight set 3-0 win came on the road in Jacksonville State’s Pete Mathews Coliseum. UT Martin continued its momentum the next weekend with back-to-back wins at home over Eastern Illinois and Southeast Missouri, which vaulted them well into contention for a berth into the OVC Tournament. As the season began to wind down the Skyhawks picked up two more wins at Eastern Illinois and at Eastern Kentucky. Those wins allowed UT Martin to hang onto the sixth and final spot in the conference tournament, despite falling in the final three OVC matches of the season. UT Martin made its return to the conference tournament for the first time since 2002 as the No. 6 seed and again matched up with rival Murray State. The Racers bettered the Skyhawks 3-0 in the tournament but the young Skyhawks accomplished much more in the first season of the McClure era than anyone in the OVC had predicted. In the process they set the bar pretty high for the next years of UT Martin volleyball. 2009 UT MARTIN VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh fulltime Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the MidAmerican Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. Through the past 61 years, 14 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 20 outright or shared football crowns, including both the 2007 and 2008 championships, as they compiled a 15-1 league record over that time period. Only one other Football Championship Subdivision school (UMass) has won more Conference titles than the Colonels. Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with nine, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed four football crowns (including winning the title outright in 2005 and sharing the crown with UT Martin in 2006) while Jacksonville State, Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, UT Martin (which captured its first crown in 2006) and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece. Football wasn’t the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Among the coaching greats in men’s basketball have been Western Kentucky’s E.A. Diddle, who retired with 759 victories and 10 OVC titles; John Oldham, who was a member of the very first All-OVC squad and went on to win seven OVC crowns during his coaching tenure at Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky; Paul McBrayer, who guided Eastern Kentucky to 219 wins and three OVC crowns; and Cal Luther, who is the only person in Conference history to win men’s basketball Coach of the Year honors at two league schools - Murray State and UT Martin. Current Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos ended the 2008-09 season with 314 victories, the most all-time at Austin Peay and second most in OVC history (only four wins behind Luther). There have been an equal number of great players including Western Kentucky’s Clem Haskins, who is the only three-time OVC Player of the Year. Several players have won OVC Player of the Year honors twice: Western Kentucky’s Jim McDaniels (1969-70 and 1970-71), Murray State’s Les Taylor (1971-72, 197273), Jeff Martin (1987-88, 1988-89), Popeye Jones (1989-90, 1990-91) and Marcus Brown (1994-95, 1995-96),

Austin Peay’s Otis Howard (1976-77, 1977-78), Middle Tennessee’s Jerry Beck (1980-81, 1981-82), Akron’s Joe Jakubick (1982-83, 1983-84) and Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers (1992-93, 1993-94). The OVC also has the honor of being the only conference to boast the nation’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Tennessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg). In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 2008-09 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson became the first draft pick for the league since 2004 and only the third pick of the last decade for the OVC. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. Women’s basketball in the OVC has been dominated by Tennessee Tech, which has won or shared 16 regular-season titles and owns nine OVC Tournament crowns. In fact, the Golden Eagles have reached the championship game of the OVC Tournament 19 times in the past 28 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer, four other teams have won 12 of the last 16 OVC Tournaments. Murray State became the latest program to add its name to the list, capturing its first OVC Tournament title in 2008. Austin Peay leads the quartet with six crowns, including four straight from 2000-03 and the 2009 title, while Tennessee State, Eastern Kentucky and Southeast Missouri each have won titles during that span. The OVC’s first volleyball tournament was held in 1981, the same year Eastern Kentucky began a string of six straight tournament crowns. Former EKU skipper Dr. Geri Polvino compiled a 627-439 record in 32 seasons as head coach of the Colonels, earning OVC Coach of the Year honors eight times. More recently, former Austin Peay coach Cheryl Holt and former Southeast Missouri skipper Cindy Gannon also earned their peers’ recognition multiple times with four awards each. Throughout the last 26 years, 10 different teams have won an OVC regular-season or tournament volleyball crown. Since joining the league in 1991, Southeast Missouri has dominated the scene, winning seven of its eight regular-season titles during the 1990’s, including five straight from 1993-97. The Redhawks have also won five tournament crowns (1994, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000). Jacksonville State was won back-toback OVC Tournament Championships (2005, 2006) including going through the OVC undefeated (16-0) in 2006, while Tennessee State claimed its first volleyball tournament championship in 2008. Following the 2007 season, Jacksonville State’s Abbey Breit was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Year for the third straight season, becoming the first player in OVC history to accomplish that feat. Four other individuals - Eastern Kentucky’s Angela Boykins (1985-86), Morehead State’s Dayle Hammontree (1988-89), Southeast Missouri’s Tuba Meto (1996-97) and Morehead State’s Amy Almond (2001-02) – were back-to-back winners of the award. Over its 61 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and The University of Tennessee at Martin.

The 1970 volleyball squad featured a pair of future UT Martin Hall of Fame members. The now late head Coach Nadine Gearin was inducted in the class of 1988, while Pat Head Summitt (No. 55), who was told she had to play volleyball if she wanted to also play basketball for the university, was inducted as part of the inaugural Hall of Fame class in 1983. Summitt later went on to become an Olympian and the all-time winningest college basketball coach in history, guiding the Tennessee Lady Vols to eight National Championships.

2009 UT MARTIN VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE


DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Over nine years ago, Phil Dane requested the opportunity to assume the role of director of athletics when the previous director retired. After serving as Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance for 13 years he was looking for a new challenge and athletics had always been his secret passion. Phil Dane begins his tenth year as the director of athletics after serving as vice chancellor for business and finance at UT Martin for 13 years. He has overseen facility improvements, budget increases, and staffing changes which have resulted in Ohio Valley Conference championships in football, men’s basketball, volleyball, softball, and women’s tennis. Dane was successful in proposing a referendum to the Student Government Association in 2007 that generates over $600,000 annually. This funding has provided additional staff increases and budget increases for various administrative and sports programs as well as major facility improvements for baseball and softball. New grandstands were installed at both fields in 2008. New ighting was installed on both fields in 2009. Construction will begin on a $1,000,000 baseball/softball building in November, 2009 with the debt service being paid from referendum funds. Over 63 percent of the student body voted in favor of the referendum in April 2007. Dane oversaw the building and completion of the Bob Carroll Football Building, a $2.5 million project. Funding for the project came from private gifts. The 17,000-square-foot facility has office space for all football personnel, meeting rooms, a locker room, a training room and a magnificent multi-purpose room overlooking H.K. Grantham Field. With the momentum from of an OVC champhionship season in 2006, then Chancellor Nick Dunagan, provided institutional matching funds when Skyhawk fans donated $250,000 toward a new synthetic surface for Hardy M. Graham Stadium. That challenge was met and new FieldTurf surface was installed before the 2008 season. In 2006 a majoring seating renovation was completed in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. More than 1,200 chair back seats were installed on the east side of the arena replacing a combination of bleachers and chair back seats. Bleachers and a press box facility at the Skyhawk Soccer Field were also completed in the fall of 2006. WWW.UTMSPORTS.COM

Dane has guided the university through its most recent NCAA Division I Certification. In addition he is a peer reviewer in the NCAA Division I Certification Program. He has performed peer reviews at the University of Delaware, Western Kentucky University, Robert Morris University and Texas State University. Dane will serve as the chairman of the OVC Athletic Directors Council in 2010-2011. He also serves as the administrative liaison for the Ohio Valley Conference men’s golf coaches. Before he was named athletics director in 2000, Dane served as vice chancellor for business and finance from 1987-2000. In 1999, he chaired a commission to study the role and funding of intercollegiate athletics at UT Martin. The study commission developed a plan that allowed scholarship football to continue, and since 2000 Dane has worked with the university’s administration to restore funding for football scholarships to the same level as other OVC institutions. He has held various positions at UT Martin since 1979. He is an Air Force veteran and a three-year baseball letter winner at Tennessee Tech University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and worked for Price Waterhouse and Company before beginning his association with UT Martin. He earned his MBA from UT Martin in 1984. Dane is active in community and church organizations. He has served as commissioner of the Martin Girls Softball League and president of the Breakfast Optimist Club. He is currently a member of the Martin Rotary Club and is a deacon at the First Baptist Church of Martin. Dane and his wife, Debbie, a third-grade teacher at Martin Elementary School, are the parents of three daughters: Shelly obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees from UT Martin and teaches third grade at Dexter Elementary School in Cordova, Tenn.; Katie, teaches fifth grade at Martin Elementary School; and Abbey, also a UT Martin graduate, is marketing specialist with the Memphis Zoo.

NORTHWEST TENNESSEE Northwest Tennessee encompasses eight rural counties: Lake, Obion, Weakley, Henry, Dyer, Gibson, Carroll and Benton. From Lake and Dyer counties bordering the great Mississippi River to Benton and Henry counties bordering the Tennessee River, Northwest Tennessee abounds in outdoor recreational activity opportunities. Lake and Obion counties are home to Reelfoot Lake State Park and two national wildlife refuge areas. Reelfoot Lake is the only natural lake in Tennessee and popular history says the lake was formed when the region subsided after the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–1812, and that the Mississippi River flowed backward for 10-24 hours to fill it. Henry county is home to Paris Landing State Park located on the western shore of the Tennessee River which is dammed to form Kentucky Lake.

Northwest Tennessee is in the Central Time Zone. Memphis or Nashville can be reached from any county within approximately 3 hours. Interstate 40 borders the southern edge of this area and travels east and west and Interstate 55/155 is easily accessible from the western counties and travels north and south. St. Louis is a four- hour drive north. Six Flags at St. Louis is also approximately four hours away. Many industries are located in the Northwest Tennessee area. Goodyear has a plant in Obion County and is a major employer in the surrounding counties. Fed –Ex ground has a terminal in Weakley County, and Gibson County has announced that Fed-ex is greatly expanding their processing center located in that county.

...AND MARTIN Martin is located in the extreme northwest corner of Tennessee in Weakley County. The University of Tennessee at Martin is the only four-year public university outside of Memphis in West Tennessee. Martin is approximately 150 miles from Nashville and Memphis and one hour from the Jackson and Paducah, Ky. Martin is the home of the Tennessee Soybean Festival which is held the week after Labor Day in September each year. Martin also has multiple public parks, an excellent public library, a competitive school system and a community hospital. With a population over 10,000, Martin is a vibrant university town yet still maintains a rural, small-town ambience. In 1832, William Martin and his wife, Sarah Glass Martin moved to Weakley County where he settled his family. He became a leader in the tobacco industry and by his death in 1859 had secured the passage of an east-west railroad through his property in the county. When his family discovered the Mississippi Central Railroad planned a north-south line in the area in 1872 they offered the railroad free right-of-way across their property if they located the line on their property and offered to donate property for a park in what would be the center of Martin.

SKYHAWK TRADITIONS The Skyhawk Mascot IIn 1995 th the UT M Martin ti Sk Skyhawks h k ttook k fli flight ht ffor th the fi firstt ti time as the old Pacer nickname was replaced by a new moniker tim c forr the next century of UT Martin athletics. The first athletic contest under the new nickname was a rousing success for UT i as the h Skyhawks Sk h k defeated d f d Bethel B h l College C ll 97 7 in i the h first f Martin 97-7 game of the 1995 football season. While the Skyhawk nickname is relatively new, its origins can actually be traced back to the early 1900s and the predecessor of UT Martin, Hall-Moody Institute, founded in 1900. Athletic teams for the small Baptist teachers college were called Sky-Pilots, a 1920s slang reference to traveling Baptist preachers, the eventual career path taken by many Hall-Moody graduates at the time. UT Martin’s nickname is a unique combination of history and nature, paying homage to the past accomplishments of the Sky-Pilots while representing the soaring, skilled attributes of the hawk, a native of the marshes and plains of West Tennessee. Meanwhile, the aviator themed costume of the Skyhawk mascot represents UT Martin’s role as a training ground for aviators during World War II. Skyhawks is actually the fourth nickname used by UT Martin teams in its history since the founding of Hall-Moody. In 1927, the school became a junior college in the University of Tennessee system. Athletic teams were named the Junior Vols. In 1967, the college was renamed the University of Tennessee at Martin and, eventually, the nickname “Pacers” was selected to represent the “pace setting” university. In conjunction with UT Martin’s move to the Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Division 1-A status, a campus committee spearheaded the search for a new nickname. With the aid of a Nashville public-relations firm and input from students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans, the UT Martin committee researched, selected and implemented a new, distinctive, strong, gender-neutral nickname, eventually replacing all references to Pacers with Skyhawks.

Why Skyhawks? UT Martin’s official mascot became the Skyhawks in 1995 when a group of wise thinkers captured red UT Martin’s history in a three-fold manner: 1. The first educational institution on the site of UT Martin was Hall-Moody Bible Institute. The school’s athletic teams were called “sky pilots”, a frontier term for preachers in that day, but perhaps the students were thinking of the glamorous flying aces of World War I. 2. During World War II, UT Junior College contracted with the Naval War Training Service to help train pilots, who completed their flight training at an airport located on the current site of Westview High School. 3. Red-tail hawks are indigenous to the west Tennessee region. 80

The Skyhawk Logo The he University of Tennessee at Martin official ficial athletics logo was redesigned by Trevor Ruszkowski, from The University of Tennessee at Martin Office of University Relations in 2008. The original Skyhawks logo was created in 1995 by Dye, Van Mol & Lawrence Ad Agency after UT Martin moved to the Division I level of competition and changed the mascot from the Pacers.
