PLAYING DAYS Taylor University Middle Hitter Entering her fifth season as head coach, Brittany Smith is coming off a season in which she led her team to a 32 - 8 record, a second straight Mid-Central College Conference championship, an appearance in the conference tournament finals, and a top 25 finish in the national rankings. As a by-product of the team’s success on the court, for the second year in a row Smith was named the MCC Coach of the Year in 2008. In 2009 Smith will continue to build on lessons learned from previous seasons to continue to push the players to become the best they can be. “Each player in this program has been blessed with a gift, the gift of athletics and playing volleyball. As a coach, it is my call to help players reach their highest potential so they can glorify God by using His gift to them fully.”

7

When Smith felt called to return to her alma mater for the 2005 season, she felt that same responsibility in her own life. “I love to teach the game of volleyball. It is a God-given passion of mine. There is no greater joy for me than when I can pass knowledge and experience on

to a player which in turn enables her to become better. That to me is very exciting.” Smith also looks at volleyball as a platform for personal development. “I think the biggest challenge as a coach is to help players develop internal motivation to push themselves. Hebrews says that no discipline is pleasant at the time, but painful. However, later on it produces righteousness. Taylor players are developing lifelong skills for their careers, relationships with others and with God--skills that are based on selfmotivation; discipline; and, above all, passion and excellence. As a wife and mother, I daily see how those lessons learned through a simple game impact my life. It is a humbling privilege to share that process with our players, and to help them find their own path as they learn these lessons. It isn’t always easy, and if our program was only about winning, we might not take each of those lessons so seriously. But because we feel that through the game of volleyball, we are learning spiritual


TAYLOR UNIVERSITY TROJAN VOLLEYBALL and practical disciplines, we strive hard to incorporate those lessons as they arise in the game as well as in life.”

TUVB UNDER SMITH

Since arriving at Taylor in 2005, Smith’s teams have posted an overall record of 117-53. Over the last four seasons, she has coached nine First Team All-Conference players, three straight MCC Setters of the Year, one MCC Freshman of the Year, and two NAIA/AVCA All-Region selections. Smith has coached ten NAIA Scholar-Athletes and her teams have been named NAIA Scholar Teams each of the last three seasons. Since taking over the Trojan volleyball program, all players that played their final season under Coach Smith have graduated.

2 Mid-Central College Conference Championships • 2 MCC Coach of the Year Awards • Set new single-match Odle Arena attendance record • Ranked as high as #18 in the nation • 3 straight MCC Setters of the Year • MCC Freshman of the Year (Kelsey Pritchard, 2008) • 2 Setters: NAIA Honorable Mention All-American • 2 AVCA All-Region Selections (Betsy Brown, Kelsey Pritchard) • 9 First Team All-Conference Players • 10 NAIA Scholar-Athletes • 3 straight NAIA Scholar Teams

No stranger to the Taylor Volleyball tradition, Smith started four years (1996 - 1999) under then head coach Angie Fincannon. She was selected as a NAIA First Team All-American in 1998 and was a NAIA Second Team AllAmerican selection in 1999. Following her senior season in 1999, Smith was also named a NAIA Scholar-Athlete for her combined efforts on the court and in the classroom. To conclude her senior year, she was selected as the winner of the 1999 - 2000 Lady Trojan Award, emblematic of Taylor’s most outstanding female athlete. Prior to her return to Taylor, Smith had been involved in volleyball at a variety of levels. She has over seven years of club and high school experience in Michigan and Indiana. Her most recent position had been at Forest Hills Northern High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., where she helped lead the team to a runner-up finish in the Michigan Class A State Finals. During this time, Smith also worked at Bethany Christian Services National Office in quality management and accreditation. In addition to coaching responsibilities at Taylor, Smith also is the teaching coach at Taylor’s Momentum Club, a

USAV volleyball club for young women ages 12-18. She also has participated in volleyball clinics and camps for the last 12 years, most recently including the 2008 Ball State team camp, 2009 Bowling Green State University Team Camp, and as the Head Coach for several local high school summer camps. Smith oversaw and directed the inaugural Trojan Select Volleyball Camp, the first ever high school volleyball summer camp held on Taylor University’s campus in July 2009. Smith teaches volleyball in the Physical Education and Human Performance department at Taylor and Social Welfare Policy in the Social Work department. She is currently the Mid-Central College Conference volleyball chairperson, and also regularly works with other young women coaches through active mentorship, including the establishment of a Young Women Coaching Forum held in the spring of 2009. When not coaching, Smith likes to spend time at home with her family, including her 4-year-old son, Jack; her 2-year-old daughter, Audrey; and husband, Eric. 8

TAYLOR UNIVERSITY TROJAN VOLLEYBALL

2009 Season OUTLOOK After capturing its second consecutive regular season conference championship and becoming the first school in NAIA history to reach 1,000 all-time wins, the bar has been set high for the Taylor volleyball program. Returning to maintain that standard of excellence are five starters and a total of seven letter winners from a 2008 squad that compiled an overall record of 32-8, including a perfect 8-0 mark in the Mid-Central College Conference. Taylor received national recognition to begin the 2009 season as the 19thranked team in the NAIA Volleyball Top 25 Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Despite an exceptionally talented group of individuals returning this season, Taylor head coach Brittany Huyser Smith will continue to build the program’s success on a team-first foundation. “Taylor volleyball has always been about playing as a team for God’s glory,” Smith said. “We work very hard both on and off the court of developing singlemindedness that we play to win for Him. This impacts how we train, how we prepare, how we recruit, and how we view success. Having that one love was instrumental for us last year, and we are determined to build upon that legacy.” Among the group of returnees are four of the team’s top five kill leaders from last season. With nearly 80 percent of last year’s kill total returning to the court in ’09, the Trojans are expected to have one of the more lethal offensive units in the nation. Sophomore setter Betsy Brown returns to the court after missing the postseason conference tournament last season due to injury, and will orchestrate the offense as she returns to the form that earned her MCC Setter of the Year and a spot on the NAIA Honorable Mention All-American list as a freshman. Following the graduation of her starting libero and three defensive specialists, Smith struck gold on the recruiting trail with three highly-skilled defensive specialists. The trio will team with senior Molly Larkin to give the Trojans their quickest back row during Smith’s five-year tenure. “We see the building of a solid and quick defense as the next step in capitalizing on our offense,” Smith noted. “We know the more we keep the ball up and the play alive, the more opportunities our offense will have to make an impact and continue to get better. We plan on using

our defensive system to help make our offense faster and more impactful and will be excited to see how soon the impact will be felt.” With several underclassmen expected to see significant playing time throughout the season, the Trojans could face some early season inconsistency. However, the group of veterans are expected to bring along the youngsters into a highly competitive team expected to contend for its third straight MCC championship.

Setters Betsy Brown enters her sophomore season after being named MCC Setter of the Year following her freshman campaign. An injury kept Brown on the sidelines for the conference tournament last season, but she underwent a rigorous offseason rehabilitation program and has returned to full strength to direct the Trojans offense for the second straight year. The nation took notice of Brown a year ago following her freshman season in which she recorded 1,382 assists. The Michigan native had 71 blocks and 374 digs to go along with 59 kills in 37 matches. She was honored as an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American and was one of just three freshmen to be selected to the 72-player All-American Team. Backing up Brown will be Whitney Sweet, a freshman from Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis. Transitioning to the tempo of the college game and the Taylor offense will be her main challenge during preseason camp. “Our setters do an excellent job of setting the tone for how we play. Both work extremely hard, are very competitive, yet provide the constant encouragement and confidence for each member of our team,” Smith said. “Betsy will be continuing to elevate her game through her strategic choices and speeding up the offense. Whitney comes from a very successful program and has shown her ability to make great plays. I’m looking forward to seeing how they will complement each other and build up our team both on and off the court.”

Middle Blockers The middle blocker position has the most depth of any position in Smith’s lineup. Sophomore Bethany Beck returns to the starting lineup following a freshman

season that saw the Colorado product lead the team with 128 blocks. Last season’s other starter at middle blocker, Rachel Kizer, will continue to see time in the middle but also spent the preseason transitioning to play a role as an outside hitter when needed. Kizer finished 2008 with 267 kills and finished just behind Beck with 125 blocks. Colleen Nelis, a senior from Grand Haven, Mich., has battled injuries throughout most of her career but is poised to be a major contributor during her final season. Nelis has the potential to add a whole new

rachel KIZER

236 career blocks

dimension to an already potent Taylor offense. The newcomer of the group is junior Kristen VandeBunte, a power hitter playing her first season for the Trojans. A two-time MHSAA All-State selection from Grandville, Mich., she is expected to push for immediate playing time. “Our middles have demonstrated great versatility on the net through their hard work and desire to play,” commented Smith. “This should be one of our most competitive positions on the team outside of our defenders. And through the crosstraining we do in our program, we expect to see several of our middles making an impact throughout the year.”

game is going to be something to watch.”

Taylor’s top two offensive producers from last season return to the outside hitter position in 2009. MCC Freshman of the Year Kelsey Pritchard became just the third freshman in Taylor history to eclipse the 500-kill mark with 505. The Indianapolis native posted a .399 hitting percentage in conference play on her way to becoming one of the most dominant attackers in the conference. Pritchard will continue to be the focal point of opponents’ scouting reports. Junior Jackie Geile was second on the Trojans kill list with 345 a year ago. A powerful attacker from Muskegon, Mich., Geile can swing on the outside or right side, and can also fulfill backup setting duties. She was second on the team with 421 digs last season. Much like Pritchard, her presence in the lineup draws blockers away from her teammates which allows for more open hitting lanes. A pair of freshmen in Ali Swart and Elizabeth Luke were added to the roster in the offseason to provide depth on the outside. Swart, from Oostburg, Wisc., was a standout middle hitter in high school, but has been converted to the left side for the Trojans. Luke is from Yorktown, Ind., and will play exclusively on the right side. “We’ve been building our reserves on the outside, and the addition of Ali and Liz to our roster will continue to give us some significant options,” said Smith. “Between their ability to contact the ball over the block as well as the power both bring to the court, we’re excited about the additional competition within our outside hitting position. In addition, we will continue to look to Jackie and Kelsey to anchor our offense and are pleased with the work both have done throughout our off-season and over the summer. The maturation in their

One senior and three freshmen defensive specialists make up the youngest position group on the ’09 roster. Large holes were left in the back row when four senior defensive specialists completed their eligibility last spring. However, Smith brought to Upland a trio of talented defenders that will be called upon to contribute from day one. A fourth-year player from Excelsior, Minn., Molly Larkin returns as the veteran of the group after recording 170 digs as a junior. Larkin will provide vital leadership to the group of rookies both on and off the court as they learn the Taylor defensive system. Courtney Herschberger is slated to take over the libero position for departing senior Lindsey Bayle. From Goshen, Ind., Herschberger was First Team All-State as an outside hitter following her senior season at Fairfield High School. She was named the 2009 IHSAA Class 2A Mental Attitude award winner. Amanda Beebe is perhaps the quickest of the three freshmen. As a fouryear starter for Aurora (Ill.) Christian High School, she was an all-conference selection her final two years for the Eagles. Beebe is the daughter of former NFL star Don Beebe. Hope Knowling is from Crawfordsville, Ind., where she was named the Journal Review Volleyball Player of the Year following her senior season at North Montgomery High School. She was first team All-County, All-Conference, and AllArea both her junior and senior seasons. “What great fun we are going to have on defense this year! With the senior leadership we have in Molly, and the addition of

three outstanding young defenders, I’m very excited to work with this group on how they can impact our program and help us be successful,” Smith said. “I see the true attitude and hard work that it takes to be a successful defensive player in each one of them and am excited to see how that translates onto the court as they begin to get comfortable in our system.”

The Schedule The 2009 schedule reflects Coach Smith’s understanding of the importance of playing nationally-ranked competition to help prepare her young team for a postseason run. Not only that, but the national ratings committee has continually placed a greater emphasis on performances against Top 25 opponents. Of Taylor’s 36 scheduled opponents, 12 of them were ranked or receiving votes in the 2009 NAIA Volleyball Top 25 Preseason Coaches’ Poll. That includes matches against No. 6 Columbia (Mo.), No. 12 Madonna (Mich.), No. 14 Lindenwood (Mo.), No. 17 Indiana Tech, and two matches against No. 13 Olivet Nazarene (Ill.). Also factoring into the Trojans’ challenging 2009 schedule are two NCAA Division II opponents in Saint Joseph’s College (Ind.) and Div. II No. 13, University of Indianapolis. Taylor will again host the annual Trojan Challenge, a nine-team event to be held the weekend of October 30-31. The marquee matchup will feature Taylor against NAIA Preseason No. 6 Columbia (Mo.) College at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 30. The competitive regular season schedule culminates with the MCC Tournament scheduled for November 10, 12, and 14 at the home of the highest remaining seed. The winner of the tournament will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA Volleyball National Championships. “We’ve got another great schedule this year as we’ve allowed ourselves to build early and compete consistently throughout the season as a measuring stick of where we need to be and how we need to improve. I think the balance we have of travel with class time will prove invaluable as many of our players carry significant class loads in their pursuit of several degrees. It’s exciting to know the players on our team represent collegiate athletics so well.”

TAYLOR UNIVERSITY TROJAN VOLLEYBALL

TROJANS WIN SECOND STRAIGHT MCC CHAMPIONSHIP

Winning was the name of the game for the 2008 volleyball Trojans. Along with winning its second consecutive regular season conference championship, the team posted its third consecutive 30+ win season, a perfect 8-0 conference record, and the program’s 1,000th win. Taylor opened the season against Saint Xavier in the University of MichiganDearborn Tournament. The win over the Cougars was the first of five victories against opponents receiving recognition in the NAIA Top 25 polls. Taylor picked up three wins in the kickoff tournament jump-starting them to a 12-2 record including a sweep of the Taylor Trojan Challenge. In mid-September the Trojans hosted a stacked Taylor Invitational which featured two top-25 teams. Taylor recorded two wins during the weekend, one coming at the expense of No. 19 Campbellsville University. With a 16-6 record at the end of September, the Trojans lost only one match in the following month coming at the hands of 7th-ranked Madonna University. A pair of conference wins served up the month of October and ignited an 11-match winning streak. One of those wins came against 22nd-ranked Indiana Wesleyan on October 7. The short trip to the home of the cross-county and conference rival became a battleground as the Trojans toppled the Wildcats in a four-set grudge match. The win put Taylor in sole possession of first place, a slot they would not relinquish for the remainder of the season. Two weeks later, on October 21, the Trojans stamped their place in collegiate volleyball history when a 3-0 defeat of Bluffton University (Ohio) marked the program’s 1,000th win. The record made the Trojans the first NAIA volleyball program in the country to reach the milestone. Taylor joined five NCAA Division I volleyball programs – UCLA, Nebraska, Missouri State, BYU, and Long

Beach State – that have reached the 1,000win plateau. UCLA tops the list entering the 2009 season with a total of 1,074 all-time victories. The Trojans started the year with 1,008 wins. Taylor entered the conference tournament coming off a pair of league victories, a win on senior night over 15thranked Indiana Tech, and six weeks in the top 25 poll topping out at No. 18. With a perfect conference record the Trojans hosted first round and semifinal matches against Huntington and Goshen, respectively. A 3-1 victory over Huntington and a 3-0 sweep of Goshen set up a championship rematch against the Wildcats of IWU, this time in Odle Arena. However, playing without the services of injured starters, setter Betsy Brown and middle blocker Bethany Beck, Taylor fell to the Wildcats in a five-set thriller. Coming up just a win short of a national tournament appearance, the Trojans were not short of individual accolades. Leading the way was head coach Brittany Smith who was named MCC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season. Freshman setter Betsy Brown had a tremendous showing in her inaugural campaign. The Adrian, Mich., native led the conference with 1,382 assists on the season and ranked 23rd in the nation in assists per set, averaging 11.8 per set during conference play. For her efforts Brown was a six-time MCC Setter of the Week, honored as a First Team All-Conference selection and named MCC Setter of the Year. At the conclusion of the season, the NAIA selected her as an AllAmerican Honorable Mention, making her one of just three freshmen on the 72-player list. Joining Brown on the First Team All-MCC list was freshman outside hitter Kelsey Pritchard. The 6-0 outside hitter, who was also tabbed MCC Freshman of the Year, led the league with a .399 hitting percent-

age during conference action and became just the third freshman in Taylor’s volleyball history to reach the 500-kill milestone, with a team-leading total of 505 kills. Seniors Jenny Peterson and Lindsey Bayle snagged first and second team All-Conference, respectively. Peterson finished sixth in the MCC with a .251 hitting percentage to go along with 306 kills on the season. A team captain for the Trojans, Peterson was third on Taylor’s team with 92

blocks. Peterson ended her career ninth on Taylor’s all-time kills list with 1,449. During her four-year career, she accumulated 318 block assists to rank her fifth in the Taylor record books. The double major in business management and marketing systems also received recognition as an NAIA ScholarAthlete. Bayle tallied 621 digs on the season from the libero position to lead the Trojans. She was named MCC Libero of the Week five times and also finished tied for first on Taylor’s team with 43 service aces. A transfer from Grand Valley State University, Bayle played her final two seasons as a Trojan and finished her career as the all-time Taylor career leader with 4.82 digs per set. Molly Larkin, a triple major in history, political science, and Spanish; and Colleen Nelis, exercise science; joined Peterson on the NAIA Scholar-Athlete list.

TAYLOR UNIVERSITY TROJAN VOLLEYBALL

TAYLOR VOLLEYBALL FIRST IN NAIA TO REACH 1,000 WINS Tuesday October 21, 2008 UPLAND, Ind.--The 21st-ranked Taylor University volleyball team made history Tuesday by becoming the first NAIA volleyball program to record 1,000 all-time wins with a convincing 25-15, 25-18, 25-18 sweep of visiting Bluffton University (Ohio) in front of a packed crowd at Taylor’s Odle Arena. The Trojans, who have now won their last eight matches, improved to 24-6 on the year, 6-0 in the Mid-Central College Conference, and 1,000-406-1 since the program’s inception in 1971.

Bluffton took a quick 3-0 lead to start the final set, but Taylor gained the lead at 8-7 and never looked back. The remainder of the match featured a balanced Taylor attack, as six different Trojans recorded kills. Match point came with a 24-18 lead followed by a thundering kill by Pritchard to give Taylor their 1,000th victory. Taylor now joins five volleyball programsUCLA, Nebraska, Missouri State, BYU, and Long Beach State-at the NCAA Division I level who have reached the 1,000-win plateau. UCLA tops the list with a current total of 1,074 all-time victories.

Taylor hit at a clip of .274 in the match, led by 15 kills on .545 hitting from freshman outside hitter Kelsey Pritchard, and 12 digs from senior libero Lindsey Bayle. Freshman setter Betsy Brown ran the offense with 37 more assists.

Betsy Brown sets the ball to Bethany Beck against Bluffton University in Taylor’s 1,000th victory.

Freshman middle blocker Bethany Beck continued her strong play at the net, recording a match-high five blocks. The Trojan defense recorded ten blocks while holding the Beavers to an .042 hitting percentage. The Trojans hit an efficient .375 in set one, while limiting Bluffton to a .000 mark. Pritchard and Jenny Peterson combined for 10 kills on 15 swings as Taylor dominated throughout for a 25-15 win to ignite the Trojan crowd.

Following the milestone win, Taylor University’s President Dr. Eugene Habecker was presented the game ball by Taylor’s Athletic Director and former volleyball coach, Dr. Angie Fincannon.

State Representative P. Eric Turner presents the citation honoring Taylor volleyball from the Indiana General Assembly to Brittany Smith, Eugene Habecker and Angie Fincannon.

Set two was a much different story for Taylor as Bluffton stepped up their level of the play and tied the score at 16-16. From there, Taylor took control and scored 9 of the final 11 points to take a 2-0 lead with a 25-18 victory.

Taylor head coach Brittany Smith had a unique perspective on the milestone. “It’s such an honor to celebrate this win as a former player and now as a coach. This accomplishment is a tribute to the many women who have worn the Taylor volleyball jersey, as they have left a legacy of giving God the glory through their hard work and passion for the game.”

Joining in the postgame festivities on the court following the match were current and former players, representing over 200 volleyball alumnae who have worn the purple and gold in the program’s 38-year history.

A program with a rich tradition of success, Taylor volleyball boasts four NAIA National Tournament appearances, one NAIA National Tournament Elite 8 finish, nine MidCentral College Conference championships, a current streak of 21 straight winning seasons, 28 NAIA Scholar-Athletes, and 12 NAIA AllAmericans. That includes threetime All-American Natalie Steele, the all-time NAIA kills leader with 3,602 kills in her career. Head coach of the Trojans from 1992-2004, Fincannon is responsible for nearly half of the program’s wins. During her 13 seasons, she compiled a career record of 496-131 and qualified teams for the NAIA National Tournament four different times. “It’s humbling and truly exciting for Taylor to reach this milestone,” said Fincannon. “It reflects a great tradition of players who were tremendously dedicated to this program over the years. This celebration reflects the longstanding Taylor Volleyball motto, ‘For Him we play to win’.”

The Mid-Central COLLEGE Conference The Mid-Central College Conference, which enters its 51st season in 2009-10, is one of the oldest conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Founded in 1959, the conference currently consists of nine colleges and universities located in Indiana and Michigan. MCC member institutions are Bethel College (Mishawaka, Ind.); Goshen College (Goshen, Ind.); Grace College (Winona Lake, Ind.); Huntington University (Huntington, Ind.); Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion, Ind.); Marian University (Indianapolis, Ind.); University of Saint Francis (Fort Wayne, Ind.); Taylor University (Upland, Ind.); and its newest member, Spring Arbor University (Spring Arbor, MI). The purpose of the MidCentral College Conference is to promote intercollegiate athletics in a well-rounded athletic program, maintain high ideals, and to promote sportsmanship. The league

sponsors championships in the following men’s sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field. The

MCC also sponsors championships in the following women’s sports: basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Last year, 64 Mid-

Central College Conference athletes were named NAIA All-Americans. Also, 202 MCC student-athletes were named NAIA ScholarAthletes. MCC teams are frequently found in the NAIA National Polls in all sports. In addition to honoring outstanding achievement on the playing fields in all 14 sports, the conference also recognizes achievement in the classroom. Each year an Academic All-Mid-Central Conference Team is selected. Last year, over 250 athletes representing each of the nine member institutions were so honored. On June 1, 2008, J.D. Collins, a former Indiana business CEO and veteran NCAA college basketball referee, was named the first commissioner of the MCC. Collins is responsible for administering all aspects of the men’s and women’s athletic programs for the conference and will promote the MCC as an integral part of the NAIA.

Now in her 18th year at Taylor, former Trojan head women’s volleyball coach Dr. Angie Fincannon enters her second year directing Taylor’s intercollegiate athletic department as the dean of human performance and athletics. “As dean for human performance and athletics, I’m confident that Dr. Fincannon’s leadership will advance and strengthen Taylor’s athletic program,” said Dr. Stephen Bedi, Taylor’s provost. “She is recognized and respected by her peers as a colleague and winning coach who took the women’s volleyball program to a national level of prominence.” Administrative duties for Fincannon include overseeing the entire operation of the Trojans’ 15-sport intercollegiate athletic department. She is responsible for the budgeting, personnel evaluations, facilities management, representing the department at various organiza

Amy Stucky

Associate Athletic Director/ Director of Operations 15th Year 765.998.5314 amstucky@taylor.edu

Amy Stucky is serving Taylor Athletics for her 15th year. A 1992 Taylor graduate with a major in biology and a specialization in athletic training, she received her Master’s Degree from Ball State University in Higher Education Administration in 1998. Stucky worked for Fox Valley Orthopedics in Elgin, Ill., as an athletic trainer for two years before returning to her alma mater. While assisting in the administration of women’s athletics, Stucky has played a major role in progressively improving the Taylor athletic department. Stucky also serves as an assistant professor in the school’s physical education and human performance department. She begins her second year of service on the university assessment council. Amy is an active member of Hazlewood Christian Church in Muncie, Ind., where she also resides.

tional meetings, and the overall leadership of the department. A holder of three degrees from Ball State University, including a master’s (‘90) and doctorate (‘04) in educational administration, Fincannon has led the PHP department for the past four years and also served as the associate dean for special projects in Taylor’s office of academic affairs for the past two years. As PHP department chair, Fincannon oversees an academic department of 15 full-time professors and seven adjunct professors, which serves over 150 students in three distinct majors. Fincannon also served as Taylor’s Director of Summer School programs from 2005-2008. Fincannon began her time at Taylor in 1992 when she was hired as Taylor’s head volleyball coach and as an assistant professor of PHP. That was the beginning of a very successful 13-year coaching career for the 2006 Taylor University Athletic Hall of Fame inductee. During that span, Fincannon amassed a career record of 496-131 for a .791 winning percentage. Her teams won seven MidCentral Conference championships and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament four times (1995, 1997, 1999, 2001). The Dream Team of 1997 finished the season with a school record 48-3 mark and advanced to the Elite 8 of the national tournament. Fincannon was named MCC Coach of the Year five times, coached 10 All-Americans, and led her teams on three mission trips.

Student-Athlete Academic Support ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS GO HAND-IN-HAND AT TAYLOR

Taylor University’s athletic department maintains high academic and graduation goals for over 300 student athletes involved in its intercollegiate athletic program. To help achieve these goals, Taylor created the Student-Athlete Academic Support Program in 1998. Student achievement and performance has continued to improve ever since. After the spring 2008 semester, the cumulative grade point average for all student-athletes was 3.16. There were also 56 student-athletes who earned a spot on the Dean’s List during the spring semester with a 3.60 minimum grade point average. Ten of Taylor’s fifteen intercollegiate athletic teams were recognized by the NAIA as scholar teams for the 20072008 academic year. To be named a scholar team, the team’s average GPA must be 3.0 or above. Taylor student-athletes commit countless hours to practices, competitions, and training. The Student-Athlete Academic Support Program seeks to assist student-athletes in the effort to balance those hours with their academic demands. All incoming freshmen and transfer student-athletes attend seminars during the fall semester that discuss topics such as time and stress management, study skills, learning styles, test taking, and campus resources. The program also offers a monitored study table, tutor possibilities, and academic advising. Upon the request of their respective coaches, returning student-athletes also become involved in the program. Robin Lockridge enters her second year as the director of the Student-Athlete Academic Support Program. She oversees all details of the program and works in conjunction with the Academic Enrichment Center to connect student-athletes with the tutoring program and the writing center. In addition, she is also the staff mentor of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council which is comprised of one student-athlete from each varsity team. Their goal is to be a voice for student-athletes and to unify Taylor athletic teams while maintaining the Taylor University vision of reflecting Christ through their words and actions. The council also seeks out service opportunities for Taylor athletic teams to become involved in the community.
