Over the last four seasons, the Broncos have played games in Hawai’i, California, Florida and North Carolina, with a second trip to Hawai’i scheduled for 2009. The Broncos don’t duck any opponent with multiple matchups against nationally-ranked and NCAA Tournamentcaliber teams.
... An Experience
WMU VOLLEYBALL is ... Western Michigan volleyball student-athletes utilize the Ellis Athletic Academic Advising Center to work towards their degrees before, during and after each season.
Munson’s attention to detail in all areas of the studentathletes’ experience has helped the program’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) score, resulting in recognition from the NCAA during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons as being ranked in the top-10 percent of all Division I volleyball programs in graduating student-athletes.
The court is not the only arena Western Michigan volleyball has shown rising success during head coach Colleen Munson’s tenure. The Broncos are getting it done in the classroom as well. Over the past four years WMU volleyball student-athletes have posted a 3.0 GPA or higher in every semester, while earning the AVCA Team Academic Award in 2005 and 2008 for finishing the year with a 3.30+ GPA, including a 3.54 team GPA in 2008.
Over the last four seasons, Munson has coached five different players to seven Academic All-MAC spots, while Katie Eberling (left) has been named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District IV Volleyball Team in 2007 (third team) and 2008 (first team) and Ashley Vogl (above) was the 2009 MAC nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year.

The Western Michigan Volleyball program hosted its first Volleyball Cares match on Oct. 18, 2008, against Buffalo at University Arena to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The Broncos wore pink, along with most of the coaching staff, game staff, ushers and fans. The joint effort between WMU volleyball and the American Cancer Society included a trio of online auctions (two of which were for the signed jerseys pictured). Between the auctions and other fundraising efforts, the Broncos raised more than $3,800.
Throughout the season, the Broncos visited Bronson Children’s Hospital in Kalamazoo and then collected toys during the Holiday Inn West Bronco Thanksgiving Classic that the players later distributed to children at the hospital during the holidays, as one of just many volunteer efforts that the players are involved in both in and out of season.

2009 PREVIEW 17
Coming off one of the best seasons in school history with 28 wins and two NCAA Tournament wins to earn a berth in the regional semifinals against the nation’s top team and eventual national champion Penn State, the Western Michigan volleyball team is poised to build on that success and remain among the top teams in the country. “Once we finished the season, it was everyone’s assignment to enjoy what they had experienced and to get healthy, get rested and focus on this upcoming year,” head coach Colleen Munson said. “Throughout the season we faced multiple challenges which we were able to overcome. Our focus was our task at hand and the results have become our motivation for 2009. We now know what we are capable of and our players understand the sacrifices are well worth the effort and the thrill of being in the Sweet 16 is a memory that will carry us into the fall. “Our goals are no different than last season, but having been three rounds deep into the NCAA Tournament we aren’t just talking about it, we’ve experienced it. Our sights are set on winning the Mid-American Conference, winning the MAC Tournament and playing further into the NCAA Tournament.” The Broncos return all seven starters among eight returning letterwinners from last season’s MAC champions, a conference record ninth championship for the Brown & Gold. The returning core features AVCA All-Mideast Region Honorable Mention selection and MAC Setter of the Year Jillian Mitchell, two-time defending MAC Defensive Player of the Year libero Caitlin Strimel and two-time First Team All-MAC outside hitter Michelle Moore. The Broncos also anticipate added depth this season with a strong incoming freshmen class. “One of our immediate goals this season is to close the gap between the upperclassmen and the incoming players. We will begin by sharing our experiences, establishing relationships and articulating our vision. Our standards will become their standards and our vision will be their vision,” Munson said. After a season for the ages under their belt, the Broncos feel they can accomplish even more by building on 2008 and the improvement that has taken place during the spring and summer. “We had a very good spring season, one of the best springs we’ve had in a long time because we have a new sense of purpose. We’re not talking about playing hard all the time. That’s an expectation. We’re not talking about taking care of business in practice. That’s an expectation
when they walk in the door,” Munson said. “Last season we were survivors. We were a very good team, but we just scratched the surface of our potential. With an off-season to heal physically, we were able to hone in on strategic skills. “We enter this season knowing we have set the bar for our league and if we remain status quo our opponents will catch us. We need to raise the bar even higher with the national championship tournament in mind and the Elite Eight as a definite possibility now that we have been to the Sweet 16.” OUTSIDE HITTERS The Broncos return three all-conference starters at outside hitter in Moore, senior Katie Eberling and junior Allyson Doyle. Moore earned her second consecutive First Team All-MAC honor last season after finishing third in the MAC with 502 kills and 3.89 kills per set to become the all-time leader in career kills at WMU with 1,456. She also added defensive responsibilities in the back row last season and compiled nine double-doubles on her way to 288 digs. “Michelle’s taken her game to a level where she is able to get kills at will. In system, no one can stop her, but when she’s out of system is where her game has grown tremendously,” Munson said. “She’s become a very good blocker, a consistent and reliable passer and she’s scoring points with her serve. She’s developed an all-around game that she didn’t have early in her career.” While Moore is an offensive focal point, it’s Eberling and Doyle that balance out the team.
“Ebs and Ally are our pillars of strength on each antennae and we have grown to rely on their talent and gifts within our system. We don’t rely on one player to carry our team in the front row. Our system is based upon six players all contributing to the team’s success. Our setters deliver the ball to our hitters with speed and accuracy, our middles drive hard, our outside and rightside open up our offense and our defense is our offense. This is the way we play and Ebs and Ally are significant in making our system work,” Munson said. Eberling is WMU’s career leader with 46 double-doubles and is only the second player in the history of the program with more than 1,000 kills (1,168) and 1,000 digs (1,118). Last season, Eberling was named ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District IV and Academic All-MAC after finishing second in kills with 357, hit .270, notched 374 digs and holds a 3.95 GPA. “She is the glue that holds us together. She isn’t just a complete player, but also a leader by example on and off the court. Her off-the-court personality rivals her on-the-court consistency, energy and enthusiasm. She represents what we value in our program. She’s a straight-A student, terrific in the community and an unselfish teammate.” Opposite Eberling and Moore, Doyle held down the rightside antennae with 296 kills, 384 digs, 82 blocks and .264 attack percentage last season. “She came into our program with such a high volleyball IQ. She plays beyond her years with exceptional court vision,” Munson said. “We’ve asked her to go outside her comfort zone by working on various shots, angles and hitting the ball more aggressively.” The outside hitters will also have more depth with the addition of 6-1 freshman Kelly Griffin. The Mother McAuley (Ill.) product was first team all-state and earned national player of the week honors as a senior from ESPN RISE. MIDDLE BLOCKERS The middle of the court will be led by 2008 Second Team All-MAC junior Jaime Gotham and 2008 All-MAC Tournament junior Kate Corbett in a four-player rotation. “Jaime and Kate are competitive, they understand the importance of driving and getting up in the air every time the ball is on our side of the net. They know they will be utilized in and out of system. When our middles drive hard it makes it very difficult for our opponents to put up a double block on the outside and this allows our offense to open up. Their presence on the court and their ability to read our opponents defensively has had

SETTERS Mitchell returns after helping WMU finish the season nationally ranked 18th in kills per set (14.15), 19th in assists per set (13.12) and 35th
DEFENSE For the fourth season in a row, Strimel will command one of the best defenses in the country after earning First Team All-MAC accolades in 2008 as she led the MAC and ranked 17th in the country with 5.13 digs per set and the Broncos were 24th as a team with 16.88 digs per set. “Strimel has improved so much in her ability to play within herself and trust her teammates, which in turn has made our entire defense better and allowed her to reach all of her milestones,” Munson said. Strimel has blown away all previous dig records at Western Michigan and enters this season as the career leader with 2,041 and could break the MAC record this season. Strimel will receive additional support from junior Courtney Seiler and freshman Elizabeth Sweeney. Seiler compiled 57 digs last season, including 12 digs against Dayton in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. “Courtney realizes she is out there for a reason. Whenever she’s been called upon, she’s thrived in the enviroment and made great plays for
us when necessary, while Sweeney comes from a winning program at Mother McAuley and knows what it takes to win championships.” SCHEDULE The Broncos aren’t shying away from competition in 2009 with 13 teams that finished in the top 100 in the country, nine teams that reached the NCAA Tournament and four teams in the final Bison/AVCA Coaches Top 25. “We committed to an aggressive and competitive non-conference schedule to prepare for a no-holds-barred MAC season, as well as continually challenge our team to rise to new levels,” Munson said. The Broncos open the season at the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational in Honolulu against No. 7 Hawai’i, No. UCLA 8 and No. 25 Santa Clara before opening their home season the next weekend against Dayton (NCAA RPI 45), Wake Forest (73) and Illinois State (98). The Broncos also host No. 32 Cincinnati on Sept. 21 and Valparaiso (67) on Nov. 28. WMU will also head to Milwaukee to play Wisconsin-Milwaukee (69) and Ohio State and Bloomington, Ind., to play the Hoosiers (47) and NCAA Tournament team Alabama A&M. Conference play begins on the road against Toledo, Ball State and Northern Illinois before hosting Bowling Green on Oct. 3. The Broncos host MAC Tournament champion Ohio on Oct. 24 for Homecoming and travel to NCAA Tournament team Miami on Nov. 7 as part of three-straight road games leading into the conference tournament Nov. 17-22.
2009 PREVIEW
a tremendous impact on our back row defense,” Munson said. Gotham was second in the MAC last season with 123.0 blocks and 1.02 blocks per game, while ranking ninth in attack percentage at .296 with 264 kills. “Jaime was hurt for most of the 2008 season, but what she was able to do at 50 percent is a tribute to her competitive attitude and her will to succeed. If Jaime stays healthy, she is going to be unstoppable in the middle.” Munson said. Corbett stepped into the starting lineup after senior Ashley Vogl was injured in the fifth match of the season. Corbett responded with 219 kills and 95 blocks after missing the prior season rehabbing a shoulder injury. “Corbett played a big role in our success last season. She is comfortable in the middle and improved with every match she played. She has a focused intensity that is instrumental in us being victorious.” The middles will be bolstered by the return of sophomore Ashley Turnage after she had 20 kills and 13 blocks in limited action last season and freshman Jessica Brown. “Turnage is the most improved player in our program and we’re going to see her off-season repetitions pay off this fall, while Jess will give us an added dimension in the middle with her athleticism and championship experience.”
in attack percentage (0.25). She’ll also have help from sophomore Sam Viox after redshirting last season to rehab a knee injury and freshman Brandie Merren. Mitchell led the MAC and ranked 15th nationally with 11.40 assists per set and her 1,470 assists are the second-most in a season at WMU. “Jill has matured into a tremendous setter because she thrives under pressure and has grown to appreciate and utilize the talent on the floor around her. She has been able to take advantage of all of our strengths in the front row and back row by creating an offense that is very difficult to defend.” Munson said. Viox played in 30 matches as a freshman in 2007 and ranked fourth in the MAC with 11.74 assists per set and 986 total assists. “Sam is healthy and has raised her all-around game. Her improved play and understanding of our up-tempo offense makes us tremendously deep and diverse at setter. The combination of Jill and Sam’s skills and knowledge will be priceless to Brandie’s learning curve.”

MUNSON HEAD COACH Texas-Arlington ‘92 5th Yr WMU (90-43, .677) 10th Yr Overall (142-142, .500)
BRONCO BIOS
The Western Michigan volleyball program has had one of the best four-year runs in school history since Colleen Munson was named the seventh head coach in school history on Jan. 14, 2005. Munson is coming off the best season in more than 20 years for Western Michigan volleyball as she led the Broncos to a MidAmerican Conference record 10th NCAA Tournament and a berth in the regional semifinals for the first time since 1987. The 2008 Broncos defeated host Dayton, 3-1, in the opening round and No. 16 Tulane, 3-2, in the second round to earn two NCAA Tournament victories for only the second time in school history and the first time since 1983. With all of that success, WMU ended the year No. 25 in the country in the final NCAA Ratings Percentage Index and No. 26 in the final Bison/American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25. Overall, the Broncos finished the year 28-7, the most wins since 1987, and won their ninth Mid-American Conference championship with a 14-2 mark. The nine conference titles by WMU are more than any other school in the MAC. Not only did the Broncos have their best success on the court, but also off the court. The Broncos earned their second AVCA Team Academic Award (2005) under Munson with a ??? GPA. Munson has led the Broncos to a 90-43 record on her way to four consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since the Broncos ended their run of seven-straight 20-win campaigns in 1987 and her .677 winning percentage is the best in school history. Munson’s systems have created a team that is exciting both offensively and defensively as the Broncos finished 2008 ranked 18th nationally in kills per set (14.15), 19th in assists per set (13.12) and 35th in attack percentage (.250), while also ranking 24th in digs per set (16.88). In 2007, WMU was 29th in assists per set (15.09), 33rd in digs per set (18.88) and 45th in kills per set (16.14). In 2006, WMU ranked 10th in assists per set (15.61), 16th in kills per set (16.68) and 49th in attack percentage (.244).
31
Not only have the Broncos achieved team success under Munson’s tutelage, but she has helped mentor 12 different All-MAC performers, including six First Team All-MAC honorees and seven Academic All-MAC members, including two-time honorees Ashley Vogl and Katie Eberling. Junior Jillian Mitchell became the first MAC Setter of the Year in WMU history in 2008, while also earning First Team All-MAC and AVCA All-Mideast Region Honorable Mention honors. Junior Caitlin Strimel was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year for
the second season in a row, the first time that has ever happened in MAC history, in addition to being named First Team All-MAC with junior outside hitter Michelle Moore, only the 10th two-time first team selection in school history. Sophomore middle blocker Jaime Gotham was named Second Team All-MAC as the Broncos won three tournaments (Aquafina Invitational, Redbird Classic and Golden Dome Invitational) during the regular season. In 2007, the Broncos won their first Mid-American Conference West Division title since 2000 with a 12-4 conference mark and a 21-12 overall record. WMU was led by Strimel, the first MAC Defensive Player of the Year in school history, First Team All-MAC outside hitter Moore, Second Team All-MAC middle blocker Vogl and MAC All-Freshman Team outside hitter Allyson Doyle. The Broncos opened the year by splitting against two 2007 NCAA Tournament teams in Northern Iowa and Kentucky (W, 3-0) at the UNI Invitational and then closed the season against two more NCAA Tournament members to finish the season with six on the schedule (No. 15 Dayton, No. 20 Ohio, Xavier, Miami-Ohio). In 2006, Munson led the Broncos to a 21-15 campaign and a berth in the MAC Tournament semifinals. WMU featured five allconference performers, led by First Team All-MAC senior setter Jenifer Sulewski. Sulewski led the MAC with a WMU record 1,760 assists and the first two triple-doubles in school history. Senior outside hitter Kathryn Babcock and Vogl were both named Second Team All-MAC. Babcock was among the MAC leaders in kills and points and finished the year with 1,014 career kills to become only the 15th player in school history to achieve that feat. Vogl blossomed in her second season under Munson to become the second most efficient hitter in the MAC (.313 attack percentage). The Broncos also featured a talented freshmen class that earned WMU Prepvolleyball.com High Honorable Mention honors for its depth and quality. Three of those players made an immediate impact and two, Eberling and Strimel, were named to the MAC All-Freshman Team. Eberling delivered 460 kills in her rookie campaign, the seventh-best single season total in school history, while Strimel finished with a school-record 700 digs. The team continued to play a tough schedule that included five 2006 NCAA Tournament teams, three of which finished the season in the CSTV/AVCA Coaches Top 25 (No. 3 UCLA, No. 18 Purdue, No. 25 Ohio, Long Beach State and UC-Santa Barbara). In her first season as head coach, Munson led the Broncos to their best finish since 2000 (20-9, 11-5 MAC) and a bye into the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament. The Broncos started the season strong by winning the Indiana University TIS Invitational and the WMU Fall Kickoff Tournament and ended strong as Marquette Tournament champions. The team was also successful in the classroom and was awarded the AVCA Academic Award. Munson helped Shaylen Jackson and Sulewski earn All-MAC

Munson started her collegiate career at North Dakota State before transferring to Texas-Arlington for the 1990 season. She helped lead the Mavericks to the NCAA Tournament in 1990 and Southland Conference championships in 1990 and 1992. As a three-year starter, Munson ended her career fifth all-time at UTA with 4,089 assists.

With Munson’s help, four players earned all-conference honors (Traci Morin, Mandy Whitfield, Stefanie Rotunno, Jen Nowak) and two players were alternates and training squad members for the United States entry in the Pan Am games in 1999.
Prior to moving on to the college ranks, the Glen Ellyn, Ill., native was a player on the 1986 and 1987 Sports Performance back-toback national championship club teams. Munson and her husband, Matt, are the parents of a five-year old son, Jacob, and two-year old daughter, Bryn, and reside in Portage.
Munson spent five seasons as head coach at East Carolina (200004). During her first season, she became only the third coach in program history to post a first-year winning record in leading the Pirates to their first winning campaign since 1995. The team went 17-13 behind the play of two all-conference performers and finished third in the Colonial Athletic Association and ranked sixth regionally, the first regional ranking in school history. ECU made the move up in competition to Conference USA in 2001 and Munson guided the team to the Conference USA Tournament in her first season in the league. In 2003, Jaime Bevan made the CUSA All-Freshman Team to become the first Pirate volleyball player to earn all-conference honors since ECU joined the league. A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., Munson spent three years (1997-99) as an assistant at Western Michigan for head coach Cathy George. During her stint in Kalamazoo, the Broncos had a .619 winning percentage (57-35), including a 25-7 season in 1999 that saw the team go 15-3 in the MAC and advance to the MAC Tournament title match for the first time in a decade. With several players that Munson helped recruit, WMU went on to go 26-5 and advance to the NCAA Tournament in 2000.

10 NCAA TOURNAMENTS • www.wmubroncos.com • 5 NCAA TOURNAMENT REGIONAL SEMIFINALS • www.wmubroncos.com • 9 MAC CHAMPIO
FIRST TEAM ALL-MAC Michelle Moore was named First Team All-MAC for the second season in a row after ranking third in the MAC and 45th nationally with 3.89 kills per set and second in conference play with 4.24 kills per set. Her 502 kills this season is sixth in school history and she is the first Bronco ever to post 500 kills more than one season. She also broke the career kills record against No. 1 Penn State. Moore’s 1,456 kills are five more than Kim Lee’s school record of 1,451 kills set from 1989-92.
JUST LIKE OLD TIMES The 2008 NCAA Tournament marked the fifth time WMU has been among the final 16 teams remaining in the field. The Broncos’ previous trips were in 1983, 1984, 1986 and 1987, but back then you only needed to win one match to advance to the final 16. This is the first year since 1983 that WMU has won two NCAA Tournament matches. While WMU made its fifth appearance, only one other MAC team has ever reached the round of 16 (Ohio-2005).
SECOND TEAM ALL-MAC Jaime Gotham was named Second Team All-MAC after spending all season as one of the top middle blockers in the conference. She led the MAC with 1.17 blocks per set in conference play and was second overall with 1.02. She also ranked ninth in attack percentage (.296) on her way to a career-high 264 kills.
MAC CHAMPS For the first time since 2000 and ninth time in school history (‘82, ‘83, ‘84, ‘85, ‘86, ‘87, ‘88, ‘00, ‘08), WMU was MAC regular season champion, a conference record, two more than Ball State. MAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Caitlin Strimel was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year for the second season in a row, a first in conference history, and First Team All-MAC. She led the MAC and ranked 17th in the country with 5.13 digs per set and 5.86 digs per set in conference matches, while becoming the career leader at WMU with 2,041 digs, which is also sixth in MAC history. Strimel was the Broncos’ leader at the service line with a team-high 33 aces. She is seventh in school history with 119 career aces. She is just the third player (Katy Duffy, Liz Gunn) to notch 100 career aces and 1,000 career digs. MAC SETTER OF THE YEAR Jillian Mitchell is the first Bronco to ever win the MAC Setter of the Year award and she was also tabbed First Team All-MAC, All-MAC Tournament Team and AVCA AllMideast Honorable Mention. She led the MAC and ranked 15th nationally with 11.40 assists per set in all matches and 11.95 assists in conference matches. Her 1,470 assists this season in second in school history and she is ninth in a career with 2,135. Mitchell is also one of the top defenders in school history with 911 career digs, ninth all-time. This season, she had 10 assists-digs double-doubles and finished the year with 281 digs and second on the team with 29 aces. RARE COMPANY Jenifer Sulewski will need to make room in the TripleDouble Club. In the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, Mitchell recorded only the third triple-double in school history with 45 assists, 11 kills and 11 digs. She joins Sulewski, who had the only other two triple-doubles in school history in 2006, as the only members of this exclusive group.
ACADEMIC ALL-STAR Katie Eberling was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District IV First Team in 2008 for her outstanding achievements on and off the court after being named third team in 2007. Eberling holds the school record with 46 career kills-digs double-doubles and is only the second player in school history to have 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs. She is fifth in digs (1,118) and 11th in kills (1,168). Eberling and Mitchell were both named Academic AllMAC. 4-FOR-4 In her fourth season as head coach, Colleen Munson has reached 20 wins for the fourth year in a row. The Broncos’ 28 wins are the most since the 1987 team finished the year 28-6 and continues a path that produced 21 wins in 2007, 21 in 2006 and 20 in 2005. This continues the longest streak of 20-win seasons since WMU had seven from 1981-87. DUAL THREAT WMU had the best combination of offense and defense in the MAC, while posting the conference’s best winning percentage (.800). In all matches, the Broncos were tops in kills (14.15), assists (13.12) and attack percentage (.250), while also ranking first in opponent hitting percentage (.176) and digs (16.88) and third in blocks (1.98). ONE OF THE BEST In the final Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released by the NCAA, WMU was #25 in the country. The Broncos held wins over nine top 100 teams in #13 Tulane, #22 UAB, #23 Ohio, #45 Dayton, #49 Miami (Ohio), #59 Bowling Green, #81 Liberty, #83 Notre Dame and #98 Illinois State. The Broncos also received 67 points in the final Bison/ AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 to rank 26th in the country at the end of the season. No other MAC team received votes. RANKING AMONG THE NATION’S BEST In the final NCAA national rankings, WMU was 18th (out of 250) in kills per set, 19th in assists per set, 24th in digs per set and 35th in attack percentage.

Kathy Beauregard, the Director of Athletics at Western Michigan University, has been involved with the Broncos in several capacities over the course of the past 29 years. She is the second-longest serving athletic director in the Mid-American Conference.
KATHY BEAUREGARD
Beauregard arrived in Kalamazoo as a coach before moving into administration and is entering her 12th season as mentor of one of the top programs in the MAC.
Along with four MAC titles (men’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer and men’s tennis) in 2003-04, the Broncos also enjoyed an increased level of success in the classroom. WMU’s graduation rate of 83 percent in 2003 ranked eighth nationally and featured a program grade point average of nearly 3.00. On the playing field in 2002-03, the athletics campaign was highlighted by a pair of conference titles in women’s basketball and softball. The men’s basketball team also made a postseason appearance, competing in the National Invitation Tournament. Postseason appearances by the WMU football, volleyball and men’s tennis team highlighted the program’s 2000-01 athletic competition.
WMU athletic facilities have greatly improved under Beauregard’s leadership. The $8-million dollar Bill Brown Football Alumni Center and the $21-million Seelye Athletic Indoor Center have benefited numerous sports teams and provide top-notch facilities for Bronco student-athletes. The locker rooms at Lawson Ice Arena were renovated and completed over the past year and the department continues to raise funds for the Hyames Field Renovation Project. WMU is in the midst of building a two million dollar state-of-the-art facility and Field Turf was also installed at Waldo Stadium during the Summer of 2006.
The 1999-2000 campaign was highlighted by the football team’s West Division title and trip to the MAC Championship. The women’s tennis squad captured the MAC Tourney title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight year and the women’s basketball squad made its second-consecutive appearance in the WNIT.
Heavily involved in her profession, Beauregard assumed the chair position of the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee in 2001, a position which she held for two years. She represented WMU as a member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet and NCAA Football Bowl Certification Committee and currently serves on the NCAA Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
Previously the senior associate athletic director (1993-97), she supervised all revenue sports, the University’s compliance with NCAA rules, academic services, student-athlete welfare, and athletic marketing and communications.
The 2008-09 year saw the Bronco volleyball and men’s tennis programs capture regular season MAC crowns. The volleyball team advanced to the round of 16 at the NCAA Tournament, while the Bronco football team participated in its second bowl in three seasons and the men’s basketball team won yet another MAC West title.
In just her second year (1998-99), Beauregard provided support which helped the Bronco men’s athletic squads jump from 10th to first place in the Reese Cup standings, giving Western Michigan a share of its first all-sports trophy in 17 years.
Beauregard initially came to WMU in 1979 as head women’s gymnastics coach. In nine seasons (1980-88), she produced two MAC title teams and was twice named the conference’s coach of the year. Beauregard has been active in numerous community service organizations, including Kalamazoo Rotary, the American Heart Association, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Glowing Embers Girl Scouts Council.
The 2007-08 academic year saw success within the department, on the playing field and in the classroom. WMU Athletics announced the renovation of historic Hyames Field. Heading into the future, the facility will be known as Robert J. Bobb Stadium and will undergo $2.0 million of work over the next year. Renovations to Sorensen Courts, Fran Ebert Field and upcoming work to the men’s basketball locker rooms all highlight Beauregard’s dedication to moving WMU Athletics forward.
Honored by numerous organizations throughout her career, Beauregard was awarded both the Woman of Achievement Award (YWCA) and Athena Award (Kalamazoo Chamber of Commerce) in 2002.
Athletically, WMU’s tennis programs found success yet again with both winning a regular season MAC title and the men’s program capturing the tournament title to earn a berth in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Both Dave Morin and Besty Kuhle were named MAC Coaches of the Year for the second-straight season. The men’s basketball and women’s volleyball programs captured MAC West titles during the past athletic season. A pair of Bronco track student-athletes earned All-America honors with Becky Horn earning the nod during the indoor and outdoor seasons and finishing third in the 800m at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
In 2000, Beauregard received the Hope College Distinguished Alumni Award from her alma mater.
Beauregard is a native of Kalamazoo and graduate of Loy Norrix High School. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Hope College in 1979 and a master’s degree from WMU in 1981.
She and husband, Rick, have a 18-year-old son, Brad, who will attend WMU in 2009. Rick retired from Kalamazoo Public Schools after 32 years of service and began Beauregard Home Services in the Fall of 2006.
Beauregard ensured the longevity of WMU’s football and men’s basketball programs by restructuring Bill Cubit’s and Steve Hawkins’ contracts in 2007 and 2008, respectively. WMU Athletics also welcomed Tasha McDowell as the fifth head coach of WMU’s women’s basketball program in 2008. Academically, WMU boasted a pair of Academic All-Americans in Anthony Gebhart (first team) and Joe Reitz (second team). Gebhart was the first football representative since 1998. Volleyball, baseball and gymnastics finished in the top 10 among other like programs in the APR and WMU football had the highest APR score in the MAC for the 2006-07 campaign. Overall, 415 student-athletes finished 2007-08 with a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA. In 2006-07, men’s and women’s tennis not only repeated as MAC Tournament champions but captured regular season titles as well. Both Morin and Kuhle earned MAC Coach of the Year honors. The WMU football team participated in the program’s first postseason bowl game since 1988. The Broncos boasted three NCAA statistical champions in five categories — Ameer Ismail (FB - sacks and tackles for loss); Carrie Moore (WBB - points per game) and Mark Letestu (HOCKEY - freshman scoring and short-handed goals). Western Michigan continued to pursue excellence in the classroom in 2006-07 as 26 student-athletes in 14 sports earned Academic All-MAC status. WMU had five of its programs honored as being in the top-10 percent in their respective sport in the announcement for their excellence in the classroom over the years identified in the most recent APR; baseball, men’s basketball, gymnastics, women’s tennis and volleyball. The Broncos boasted five academic all-district selections and a pair of academic all-americans in Joe Reitz and Carrie Moore. Moore and Ismail earned All-America status in their respective sports with Moore receiving honorable mention for Kodak All-American and Ismail earning Second Team AP All-American.

In 2005-06, Beauregard oversaw a department that captured the Jacoby Cup Trophy, awarded to the top women’s program in the MAC based on sports standings. WMU has now won the Jacoby and Reese (men’s overall sports award) trophies during Beauregard’s tenure. The Broncos garnered three regular season titles — gymnastics, softball and women’s tennis and two MAC Tournament titles — gymnastics and women’s tennis. Under Beauregard’s direction, WMU also won its 100th MAC title all-time in 2005-06. The 2004-05 athletic campaign continued what has become common place at Western Michigan. Team and individual success began in the fall and continued through the spring, highlighted by a MAC Championship in women’s tennis. The strength of the women’s programs as a group allowed WMU to finish second in the Jacoby Cup.
