2009 SEASON OUTLOOKWith a roster dominated by upperclassmen and a freshmanclass that received national recognition, the Scarlet Knights areanxious to get the 2009 season underway.

Rutgers returns five starters and its libero. The remaining corewill be joined by a recruiting class that earned a High HonorableMention from PrepVolleyball.com in its annual recruiting rankings.

Second-year head coach CJ Werneke and his staff brings in theirfirst full recruiting class and it consists of four standout playersfrom across the country, including Under Armour Second TeamSenior All-American Stephanie Zielinski.

“All four newcomers have played volleyball at a high level sincethey were young,” said Werneke. “We won’t treat them as fresh-men but as volleyball players. We expect them to come in, con-tribute and help us get where we want to be with this program.They will lay a great foundation for the future.”

SettersKallie Pence led the team in assists (383) last year as a fresh-man and looks to be the frontrunner at the setter position thisseason. The coaching staff expects highly touted newcomerZielinski to also be in the mix. Zielinski comes to Rutgers afterstarting all four years at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft.Lauderdale, Fla. The setter was selected as the captain of herteam during her junior and senior seasons and was named the2008 Broward County Volleyball Player of the Year.

“We have high expectations for Kallie and Stephanie this year,”said Werneke. “We are looking for a challenge in that spot. Wehave two young talented setters and that is something we areexcited about this season.”

Outside HittersCoach Werneke expects a battle at the outside hitter positionbecause it is easily the most experienced spot for the ScarletKnights.

Seniors Kyra Thompson and Victoria Thomas along with juniorsEmma Chrystal, Katie Groff, Caitlin Saxton and Lauren Voss willgive the Scarlet Knights a variety of options at the outside hitter.

Chrystal ranked third on the team in kills (104), assists (23) andtotal blocks (27) last season. She is expected to play the rightside as she trained for that spot during the spring.

“Emma improved and did some great things during the spring,”said Werneke. “Her ability to play at multiple positions gives ussome versatility.”

Saxton put together an impressive campaign in her first year as aScarlet Knight in 2008. She was one of two Scarlet Knights,along with Jamie Godfrey, to compete in all 77 games. TheEncinitas, Calif. native led the team in kills with 209 posting aremarkable 2.71 kills per game average. Saxton served a team-best 16 aces.

Middle BlockersCoach Werneke was pleased with the progress at the middleblocker position. Werneke believes the players at the positionincreased their strength and became more familiar with the paceof the game.

Senior Sophie Cook, junior Katie Barends and sophomoreHannah Curtis will see action at the middle blocker position.

Barends was second on team in total blocks (43) last season andled the team with 11 solo swats.

Werneke is particularly intrigued by Curtis’ progress as hebelieves the “sky is the limit” with her potential.

“Hannah is only going to get better and better during her timehere,” Werneke said. “She will only add to the competition at theposition which is what we want.”

Alex Jones is also expected to see playing time at the middleblocker spot this season. She was a First Team All-District per-former in each of her last three years at Great Bridge HighSchool in Chesapeake, Va.

Libero/Defensive SpecialistsSenior Jamie Godfrey has been a staple at the libero position thepast three seasons for the Scarlet Knights. The Rahway, N.J.native competed in all 77 games last season and led the team indigs for the second straight year (222).

“Godfrey is the frontrunner at that position but any of the playerson the outside can play or win that spot,” Werneke said. “Theposition is wide open.”

Incomer Kelsey Ross will also see some time at that position. Sheplayed four years at Miramonte High School and was namedDFAL All-League in both 2007 and 2008.

A BRIEF HISTORYRutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-grantingdivisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are locat-ed in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, theeighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful offirst-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college waschanged to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featur-ing departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New JerseyAgricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture(now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also establishedduring this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (nowpart of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and aca-demic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College forWomen (later Douglass College and now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners whenUniversity College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GIBill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as TheState University of New Jersey.

A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. Anambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational resi-dential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, theGraduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and librarystudies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work.Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organizationcomprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sci-ences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve lifeboth in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions andstrengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jerseycounties. University-wide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university's goals for the future include the continuedprovision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.
