Washington, D.C.Washington, D.C.The National Mall is usually the center of every visitor’s trip to Washington DC. This tree-lined area of parkland stretches two and a half miles from the Potomac River to the United States Capitol on Capitol Hill and is adjoined by the White House. At one end of the National Mall, known as West Potomac Park, the Lincoln Memorial faces the Refl ecting Pool with a good view of Arlington Memorial Bridge, Constitution Gardens, the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Further towards Capitol Hill are a number of museums and galleries, among which are many of the Smithsonian Institution’s museums, including the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, and the Smithsonian Institution building.

AmericanAmericanUniversityUniversity

Situated within the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., American University’s traditional-style campus has much to offer students in the way of comfort, modern conveniences, and quick, easy access to city life.

Our 84-acre, tree-lined campus, which was designated as a National Arboretum, is located at the top of Embassy Row in one of the most attractive, safe, and residential areas of our nation’s capital.

The center of campus, also referred to as “the quad,” is a focal point of student life not only because our academic buildings line its grassy borders, but also because it’s a place to meet-and-greet with friends and student groups, catch an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee or take part in an after-class debrief with professors.

Another favorite spot on campus is the beach volleyball pit located between the athletics fi elds. The adjacent grassy hillside is also a well known hangout for students on game days.

9-Time Patriot League Champions9-Time Patriot League Champions1616

Barry Goldberg, the coach who has built a Patriot League dynasty by winning the league championship nine of the last ten years, didn’t begin his volleyball career with a bang. He was cut from his team as a freshman both in high

school and as a player at the University of Pittsburgh and before his senior season the program was dropped entirely by the Athletics Department. Luckily for American, Goldberg has always thrived on challenges.

The three-time Patriot League and three-time Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year’s record speaks for itself:

• 134-6 Patriot League record over 10 years• 545 career wins• .729 career winning percentage• 11 NCAA Tournaments in the last 14 years • 12 conference championships in 14 years

Indeed, in the past 10 years of league play, the Eagles have lost only six matches. Yet the man who has come to epitomize American volleyball was not recruited as a player out of Peabody High School in Pittsburgh, Pa. In college, he joined the team at Pitt as a walk-on, and after getting cut as a freshman, he thought his playing days were over. But a call from the coach, inviting him to join the team as its 10th man, brought him back to the court. Goldberg worked hard in practice but rode the bench until the season was nearly over. Then he got his chance. Faced with player absences because of fi nal exams, Goldberg’s coach had no choice. He was forced to use the 10th man.

Goldberg outplayed the other starters and earned a spot on the team. From then on he started at middle blocker for the Panthers. His junior year, the team he captained was ranked No. 13 in the nation. As it turned out, though, 13 was an unlucky number: At the end of the season, Pitt cut the varsity men’s volleyball program.

Undeterred, as a senior Goldberg worked as a player/coach for the club team. After graduating from Pitt with a BA in communication and rhetoric,

and while pursuing his master’s in counseling education, he became assistant coach for the Pitt women’s varsity team.

A History of Success The same determination that drove him to persevere at Pitt continues today. In 2010 he led the team to a perfect 14-0 record in the Patriot League, and a 29-3 overall record, earning him his third Coach of the Year honor. The Eagles held a 2-1 lead over No. 9 UCLA in the NCAA Tournament, but couldn’t hold on to the lead and fell 3-2 to the Bruins. All of Goldberg’s seniors earned awards during the season, with Angelina Waterman being named to the AVCA All-Region Team and Magdalena Tekiel earning Patriot League Player of the Year honors.

During the 2008 season, Goldberg led the Eagles to their eighth-consecutive Patriot League Championship and fi nished the year with a 24-9 overall record, 13-1 in conference play, and a 12-1 mark at home. American’s performance was so impressive throughout the year

that the team was honored with four PL major awards. Senior Rubena Sukaj ‘09 was named the Player of the Year for the third straight season while classmate Christina Nash ‘09 earned her second Setter of the Year honor, junior Ivana Cebakova ‘09 was named Defensive Player of the Year for the second time and freshman Rebecca Heath garnered Rookie of the Year plaudits.

In 2006, Goldberg coached his way to a second Patriot League Coach of the Year award and his team won its sixth-consecutive league regular season and tournament titles. Despite being a young squad, with just one senior and three juniors, the Eagles were heavy on talent and determination. Led by Sukaj, American recorded a 14-1 record at home in Bender Arena and a 14-0 record against conference opponents. The Eagles played so masterfully during the second half of the season that none of their opponents could manage to win more than one set in any match, a record that stood until they fell to top-ranked Nebraska, 3-1, in the NCAA Tournament.Because his teams have achieved so much

since his arrival, it’s hard to remember what American volleyball was like before

Goldberg. Since the day he came on as coach in 1989, the Eagles have accumulated a 233-43 (.844) record in Bender Arena. He has produced 41 All-Patriot League selections in 10 years and 16 PL Player of the Year recipients.

Throughout the years his players have excelled both on and off the court. Since 1995, Goldberg’s teams have averaged a 3.33 combined grade point average per semester. American volleyball has had fi ve Academic All-America selections, including most notably Karla Kucerkova’s ‘04 selection as the 2002 and 2003 CoSIDA Academic Volleyball Player of the Year. In 2003, American graduate Natalie Hand ‘04 was awarded a prestigous Marshall Scholarship, which pays for American students to study in Great Britain. 89 Eagles have earned an in-season GPA above 3.2 and been named to the All-Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in the team’s 10 years in the conference.

In 12 seasons in the Colonial Athletic Association, before American joined the Patriot League, Goldberg coached 36 players to All-CAA teams, including 20 All-CAA First Team selections, two CAA Tournament MVP accolades, and a CAA Rookie of the Year winner. Goldberg has also coached three American University Student-Athletes of the Year and seven District II Academic All-Americans.

A Tradition of Winning

A look back at the Goldberg era of American volleyball shows the same pattern of consistent success:

• In 2004, the Goldberg-led Eagles compiled a 24-7 overall record while staying undefeated in league competition. The Eagles made their fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, and junior Cutrina Biddulph ‘06 was named the Patriot League Co-Player of the Year and Honorable Mention All-America. Freshman Chelsa Brooks ‘08 was named the league’s Rookie of the Year. In addition, American was the best represented school on the All-Patriot League Team with six athletes selected.

• From 2001 to 2003, Karla Kucerkova ‘04 earned three straight Patriot League Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards. Nationally, she was named Academic All-America Player of

the Year twice. The team’s success was almost as brilliant, with victories in 48 straight league matches and trips to three straight NCAA Tournaments.

• In 2000, American competed in its fi nal season in the Colonial Athletic Association before moving to the Patriot League in 2001. Although the switch made the team ineligible for the NCAA Tournament, the Eagles fi nished 26-4 and had an 11-1 conference record. In its fi nal season in the CAA, the team received many honors, including Goldberg’s third CAA Coach of the Year award. Ajola Berisha ‘01, the CAA Player of the Year, was selected as an AVCA Regional All-American, and Judit Szekelyhidi ‘01 joined her on the CAA First Team.

• In 1999 the Eagles faced six NCAA Championship participants en route to a then American record .288 hitting percentage, placing the Eagles among the top-10 hitting teams in the country. American garnered fi ve postseason awards on its way to a third consecutive CAA Championship match appearance and fi nished the season ranked regionally for the fourth time in the previous fi ve seasons. The Eagles fi nished the regular season with a 14-match win streak and posted a school-record 14-1 CAA mark.

• In 1997 the Eagles went 30-4, earning the school’s fi rst NCAA Tournament berth.

• The 1994 season, when the Eagles compiled a 34-8 record that included an unprecedented 23-match winning streak, saw the team’s fi rst postseason competition, at the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. While in Kansas City, American commanded national attention by winning two of its four matches.

The Road to the Top

Such accomplishments would have seemed unlikely, to say the least, when Goldberg graduated from Pitt. He traveled next to Washington, where he coached the Capital Junior Volleyball Club in the District of Columbia and led the Under-18 team to a top-20 fi nish at the Junior National Championships.

All 10 of the players he coached that year went on to receive NCAA Division I scholarships. Seeing his success at that level, Georgetown University hired him as an assistant, where he coached until joining American University to take its program to the next level.

Along the way to the top, Goldberg has worked with several prestigious volleyball camps and committees. In 1997, he was the United States representative, along with the Tampa Bay Juniors Volleyball Club, at a four-nation international camp in Europe. Elite junior national teams from Switzerland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic hosted the camp. During his summers, Goldberg conducts individual and team volleyball camps at American and other locations in the Mid-Atlantic region. He has also held seminars in the National Mizuno Coaching Clinic Series. Goldberg now serves as a voting member of the national AVCA/USA Today Top-25 Coaches Poll and is also a voting member of the All-American committee.

Goldberg lives in Maryland with his wife, Bonnie. The two have three children, Arielle (21) and Jared (19) who both play volleyball at the University of the Pacifi c, and Mitchell (16).

Michael Rupp begins his second season as an assistant coach at American. Rupp brings over 13 years of combined coaching experience to American as well as professional playing experience from the U.S. National Team.

Most recently, Rupp served two years as a trainer and coach at Orange Coast College where he designed strength and conditioning programs as well as in-season and off-season training routines. From 1999-2010 Rupp served as a coach for the Balboa Bay Volleyball Club and the Orange County Volleyball Club. Rupp was also an assistant coach at the University of California at Irvine from 2003-2004 where he was primarily responsible for recruiting and scouting.

Rupp played professionally for Uniqa Salzburg in Austria and Club Fiaes in Portugal where he led both teams in points scored as an opposite and outside hitter. Rupp was also a member of the U.S. National Team from 1999-2001 after playing collegiately at U.C. Irvine where he was an All-Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation Honorable Mention selection in 1999. In 1995, he earned All-America honors at the Junior Olympics.

Ajola Berisha, the 2000 American University Student-Athlete of the Year, has returned to campus to begin her second season as an assistant coach.

Berisha brings a wealth of professional, collegiate and club level playing experience to American. Most recently, Berisha spent two years as a personal trainer for Equinox Fitness in Chicago, Ill. where she developed customized fi tness programs. Prior to that she spent seven years as a fi tness specialist for the World Bank. In 2007 she served as a coach for the Metro American Volleyball Club in Washington, D.C. where she was responsible

for creating player development programs and conducting skills clinics.

Berisha is a 2001 graduate of American University’s College of Arts and Sciences, helping to lead the Eagles to two CAA Championships (1998, 2000) and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1998. She was honored as a two-time All-Region selection, two-time CAA player of the year, and was a three-time All-CAA selection.

Berisha currently ranks third in American history in kills per game (4.01) and fourth in digs per game (2.61). At the time of her graduation she ranked fi rst and third, respectively. She was named the American University Student-Athlete of the Year in 2000 and was named to the CAA Volleyball Silver Anniversary Team in 2009. Prior to joining the Eagles, Berisha was a member of the Albanian National Team from 1995-97.

The American University volleyball team was unanimously chosen fi rst in the 2011 Patriot League Preseason Poll, placing the Eagles atop the poll for the 10th time in 11 seasons.

“We are honored that our peers in the Patriot League would recognize us as the top team heading into the season,” Head Coach Barry Goldberg stated. “We are bringing back a few key members from last year’s team and have added a great recruiting class. Our team has worked very hard this preseason and we are excited to get the season underway.”

American is coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history after capturing its ninth Patriot League Championship in 10 years and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the 11th time in 14 years. The Eagles rode a program-record 23-match winning streak to a 29-3 overall record, with their 29 wins ranking fourth in school annals. American also posted its sixth undefeated season against conference opponents in 2010 and was a perfect 14-0 in Bender Arena.

Five Eagles return from last year’s squad including seniors Rebecca Heath and Alexandra Hammer. Heath will be looking to bounce back from two injury-plagued seasons after being named the Patriot League Rookie of the Year in 2008. Hammer, meanwhile, led the team with 10.16 aps a year ago and added 1.74 dps.

American also returns sophomores Juliana Crum, Virginia Fitch and Alexandria Miller. Crum was twice named the Patriot League Rookie of the Week in 2010 and fi nished the year averaging 1.93 kps with a .265 hitting percentage. Fitch appeared in 22 matches for the Eagles and averaged 0.60 bps while Miller saw action in 16 matches as a defensive specialist.

American’s roster will be bolstered by the addition of nine new faces in 2011. The recruiting class includes Alaina Del Real (DS), Valeria Giberti (L), Morgan Hendrix (OPP/MB), Anna King (DS), Kelly McCaddin (MB/OPP), Sara Rishell (OH/MB), Megan Rosburg (OH/DS), Bree Scarbrough (MB/OPP) and Monika Smidova (S).

As Director of Athletics, Gill oversees the operations of all American University intercollegiate and intramural athletic programs, including more than 250 student-athletes participating in 16 varsity sports, the majority of which compete in the Patriot League Conference.

In just four years at American, Gill has helped to lead the athletics department to never before seen successes including back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. The wrestling team placed fi fth in the country at the 2011 NCAA Championships and since Gill’s arrival American has captured a total of 10 Patriot League team championships. Individually, American has crowned 20 All-Americans over the past four seasons.

The Eagles have fl ourished in the classroom as well under Gill’s guidance as American’s 16 teams have continued their streak of 21 consecutive semesters with a combined GPA over 3.0. In 2010-11, 169 student-athletes

were named to the university’s Dean’s List as the department posted a 3.36 combined GPA.

Prior to coming to American, Gill spent three years at the University of Oklahoma. He oversaw a major portion of OU athletics, including men’s basketball, women’s soccer and baseball, and the supervision of personnel, budgets, facilities, fundraising, student-athlete issues and the selection and evaluation of coaches for these sports. He worked with the AD and staff in overseeing the strategic and annual planning process for the department.

Gill was the director of membership services at the NCAA from 2000 to 2004. He developed and communicated policies related to Division I intercollegiate athletics, including governance, rules compliance, diversity, gender equity, academic integrity, student-athlete welfare, fi scal integrity, strategic planning, sportsmanship and legislation. He oversaw and ensured the effective operation of the athletics certifi cation program, and managed a staff of 35 who provided education and guidance to Division I institutions conducting their periodic self-studies. Previously, Gill worked at the NCAA from 1995 to 1999 as a membership services representative.

At Vanderbilt from 1999 to 2000, Gill was an assistant athletic director and worked with the AD to implement the annual planning process to help 16 athletics teams achieve their academic and competitive goals. He worked with the National Commodore Club, major gifts, media relations and marketing and supported the Vanderbilt Board of Trustees by working with the athletics committee.

A 1994 graduate of Duke University with a bachelor’s degree in history and sociology, the Orlando, Fla., native was a four-year letterman in football. In 2006 he earned a masters degree from the University of Oklahoma.
