Houck Field House is the home of the Southeast Missouri volleyball and women’s gymnastics teams.

The 40,000-square foot building features a 4-year old sports court as its playing surface. Houck Field House also

has the ability to fit two regulation-size volleyball courts. After the Show Me Center was completed, Houck Field House was renovated in 1987 and 1995 to better accommodate women’s volleyball and gymnastics competitions. Locker rooms for baseball, volleyball, soccer and softball, an indoor walking track, athletic training room, and offices for baseball, soccer, softball, volleyball and tennis are also housed in the facility.

Today, Houck Field House seats approximately 1,000 fans for numerous athletic events throughout the year.

T he Redhawk Success Center offers Southeast Missouri student-athletes a place to study

and develop as students and campus leaders. It is located in the Student Recreation Center, just south of Houck Stadium. The Redhawk Success Center offers a computer lab with 18 work terminals, study areas and rooms for group meetings. The area is under the guidance of Director of Academic Services Sharon Burgard, Assistant Coordinator Sandy Wiemers and Graduate Assistants Karley Evans and Bethany Pfeiffer. The beautiful facility has enhanced the outstanding work in the classroom already enjoyed by Southeast student-athletes. Last year, the Redhawks combined for a 3.17 cumulative grade point average in the fall and spring semesters. Over 60 percent of all student-athletes recorded a 3.0 or higher GPA. Thirteen of Southeast’s 15

intercollegiate athletic teams recorded a team GPA over 3.0. Additionally, Southeast student-athletes logged over 3,000 hours of community service over the 2013-14 academic year. Tutors are available for all student-athletes as needed. In addition, both attendance and academic progress is monitored through regular checks with faculty. A special course is required for all first time student-athletes at Southeast. The course, which offers three credit hours, is part of a comprehensive program developed to address study skills and life skills topics, and thus, enhance retention and academic success for student-athletes. Entering student-athletes are evaluated for academic preparedness and assigned to appropriate categories. Student-athletes can also receive individualized academic programs which include meeting with a mentor bi-weekly to discuss academic

progress. The Success Center staff works to get athletes involved in campus and community projects, as well. This is done to provide a support structure and greater opportunity for academic success. Through the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, the Success Center gives student-athletes personal and professional skills in order to facilitate successful and productive futures.

P revention. Treatment. Rehabilitation. Education. Those are the four primary phases

of athletic training, and the Southeast Missouri athletic training staff strives to fulfill all of those areas when working with student-athletes on a daily basis. Southeast student-athletes are offered the best care possible by the athletic training staff. The Sports Medicine department includes five full-time athletic trainers, six graduate assistants and several student assistants. The staff serves student-athletes around-the-clock at numerous facilities on campus. The athletic trainers begin treatments and rehabilitation starting as early as 6 a.m., and are available until the last student-athlete is through. There are currently four athletic training facilities on campus. The staff treats out of the Rosengarten Athletic Complex, where the primary training room is located. There are two other satellite athletic training

rooms, including one at Houck Field House and one at the Show Me Center. The Southeast athletic training rooms are equipped with stationary bikes, hand weights, therapeutic modalities and the latest physical therapy equipment. Each component is strategically designed to not only give the student-athlete the best care, but also to aid in returning to competition as quickly as possible. Southeast Athletic Training has strong working relationships with local physicians and two hospitals in Cape Girardeau. It is from these hospitals that the Athletic Training department is assisted by four orthopedic physicians. The Southeast Athletic Training program prides and commits itself to providing the best comprehensive, personalized and efficient healthcare to its student-athletes. Delivery of healthcare focuses on the prevention and management of athletic-related injuries or illnesses, while adhering to the National

Athletic Trainers’ Board of Certification Standards of Professional Practice. Our high quality of athletic healthcare is provided in combination with the education of athletic training students.

Southeast Missouri’s Strength and Conditioning program is committed to developing

the total student-athlete through their experiences within a competitive training environment. This will be accomplished by focusing on reducing the risk of injury and maximizing athletic potential through individual evaluation and program design. The Southeast Missouri Strength and Conditioning program is under the direction of Ryan Johnson. Redhawk student-athletes use various training facilities located inside the Student Recreation Center South.

Training Principles for Southeast Athletes:

1. Reduce the risk of injuries • If a student-athlete is injured, he/she will not be able to compete at practice or games.

2. Ensure the athletes are optimally prepared to compete • It is our responsibility to best manage all stressors that are placed on the student-athletes body in order to achieve the best results on the playing field. 3. Maximize athletic ability • We challenge each athlete, both physically and mentally, in order to achieve optimal results.

Exercises for Southeast Athletes are based on the following Principles:

1. Ground Based Movements • Athletes compete with their feet on the ground, and therefore, should train that way. The ability to produce force against the ground determines how fast athletes can run and how high they can jump. 2. Three-Dimensional Movements • Athletes must be able to stabalize themselves in all planes of movement. A fancy way of saying we use free weights (barbells/ dumbbells vs. machines).

3. Multi-Joint Movements • Very rarely in sport do athletes isolate one single joint at a time. Athletes can train more muscle mass at the same time.

Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins became the seventeenth president of Southeast Missouri State

University on July 1, 1999 after serving as the University’s Vice President of Finance and Administration from 1991 to 1993, and Executive Vice President from 1993 until his appointment as president. He previously held several positions in higher education administration at Kent State University in Ohio. During his tenure at Southeast, academ-ic programs have been enhanced including the establishment of the College of Sci-ence, Technology, and Agriculture and the Earl and Margie Holland School of Visual and Performing Arts which opened in fall 2007 on the new River Campus. A com-prehensive review of all academic and non-academic programs has been accomplished to maintain quality and minimize student fee increases in the face of significant state appropriation reductions. Southeast con-tinues to be recognized nationally for many

of its outstanding accredited academic programs. For the 11th year in a row, Princeton Review recognized the Master of Business Administration program on its list of “Best Business Schools.” GetEdu-cated.com listed Southeast #1 on the list of “Top 10 Ranked Best Values Online MBAs-AACSB-Accredited”; Southeast is recognized in the top tier of the Midwest best regional universities in U.S. News Best Colleges for 2014; and Southeast was again named among the “Best in the Midwest” by Princeton Review. Additionally, Mili-taryfriendlyschools.com lists Southeast among the top schools that embrace veter-ans as students, and recent freshmen survey data indicate that new students applied only to Southeast at a rate three times the national average. Enrollment has increased significantly since a 20-year-low in 1994 when approxi-mately 7,900 students attended Southeast. In fall 2005, enrollment topped 10,000 for the first time, and stood at more than

11,900 in 2013. Additionally, record enroll-ments in higher education have occurred in the University’s 25-county service region during his tenure due to the establishment of new regional campuses in Sikeston and Kennett and a higher education center at Perryville serving place-bound students in and near those rural communities. During Dr. Dobbins’ presidency more than $400 million in capital construction and building improvement projects have enhanced the University. The Seabaugh Polytechnic Building and the $58 million River Campus were constructed. In 2005, the Douglas C. Greene Center for Innova-tion and Entrepreneurship was opened, followed by the dedication of the state-of-the-art David M. Barton Agriculture Research Center in 2009, and the Uni-versity’s Autism Center for Diagnosis and Treatment in 2010.

More than $90 million in capital renovation proj-ects were completed in 2013, including the renovation of the historic 108-year-old Academic Hall, and the remodeling and upgrades to the Magill and Rhodes sciences complex. Ad-ditionally, the University will open the River Campus Center, a new academic and residence hall center, at the River Cam-pus in fall 2014. Dr. Dobbins has served a two-year term as president of the Missouri Council on Public Higher Education (COPHE), the organization for presidents and chancellors of Missouri’s public colleges and universities, and is the senior member of the organization. In 2007, he was selected to serve a three-year term on the American Asso-ciation of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) Board of Directors, an organization which represents over 420 U.S. public college and university members and more than 3.7 million students or 56 percent of the enrollment at all public four-year institutions. He was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the organization in 2008, chaired the organization in 2010-2011, and again serves on the AASCU Board. Also, for the past ten years, he has served as one of four faculty members for the week-long AASCU New Presidents’ Academy, and currently chairs the Finance Committee of the American Academic Leadership Institute. He previously served three years as president of the Ohio

Valley Conference and is cur-rently a member of the Confer-ence finance subcommittee. In addition, he is the vice presi-dent for membership on the executive board of the Greater St. Louis Council, Boy Scouts of America, and was elected by local council associates to serve on the National Council, Boy Scouts of America. In 2010, he was awarded the Silver Bea-ver Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a Boy Scout volunteer by a council. He earned his B.S. degree in accounting from the Univer-sity of Akron (Ohio) in 1971 and served as a commissioned officer and civilian executive in the U.S. Air Force for almost 10 years. He received the M.B.A. degree in 1979 from Old Do-minion University (Virginia) where he was awarded the 2001 Distinguished Alumni Award, and the Ph.D. in higher educa-tion administration in 1987 from Kent State, where in 2011, he was awarded the Alumni Leadership Award for the Col-lege of Education, Health and Human Services Annual Hall of Fame Awards. He is also a Certified Public Accountant in Ohio. Dr. Dobbins and his wife, Jeanine Larson Dobbins, Founder and Director Emeritus of the Missouri Statewide Early Literacy Intervention Program based at Southeast, have a son, Paul, and a daughter-in-law, Stacey, who are both Southeast graduates, and two grandsons, Lincoln Kenneth and Brady Larson Dobbins.

S outheast Missouri’s Department of Athletics is thriving under the leadership of Mark Alnutt.

Southeast Athletics operates on the three core values of its mission -- Academic Excellence, Social Development and Competitive Success. As a result, the Redhawks are soaring in all of those areas. Academically, Southeast student-athletes have combined for over a 3.1 cumulative grade point average in the fall and spring semesters each year with Alnutt at the helm. The 2013-14 campaign saw a total of 197 individuals achieve a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA accounting for 62.5 percent of the student-athlete population. That success led to the Department of Athletics securing a 3.17 GPA with 13 teams maintaining a 3.0 or better the entire year. Prior to that, the Redhawks accumulated a 3.12 GPA with 192 student-athletes getting a 3.0 or higher mark in 2012-13. In line with academics, Alnutt strongly

encourages coaches, administrators and student-athletes to be visible in the community. That being said, student-athletes have logged over 4,000 hours of community service in Alnutt’s term as Director of Athletics. Pink Up Cape, Feed My Starving Children, Project Homeless Connect, Cape Girardeau Adopt-A-Street, Read to Succeed and Special Olympics are among the many community service opportunities the Redhawks have actively participated in. Another valuable piece of Southeast’s growth in athletics has been Alnutt’s Redhawks Road Trip. The Redhawks Road Trip features a series of outreach events to give fans, alumni, supporters and community members the chance to meet select coaches, student-athletes and administration from Southeast Athletics. Last year, the Redhawks made 11 different stops along the “I-55 Corridor,” that stretch between St. Louis and Memphis which is so important from a branding,

recruiting and fundraising standpoint. Athletically, Southeast finished third in the Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Cup for the second-straight year in 2013-14. The Redhawks tallied 107.5 points, a +3.25 increase from the previous season. Those third-place finishes are the best in school history. Southeast nearly had a clean sweep of the OVC track & field championships, winning the men’s indoor and men’s and women’s outdoor crowns. The Redhawks also won the OVC baseball title and Midwest Independent Conference women’s gymnastics championship during the 2013-14 campaign. In all, Southeast teams have won six conference titles in Alnutt’s first two years as Director of Athletics. Alnutt was the driving force behind securing the first-ever NCAA football game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Longstanding regional-rivals Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois met in the DI

College Classic on Sept. 21, 2013. Alnutt has made some new coaching hires as well. He introduced Tom Matukewicz as the Redhawks head football coach on Dec. 18, 2013 and Mark Redburn as the school’s next head softball coach on June 26, 2014. Since Alnutt officially took over as Director of Athletics on April 19, 2012, total giving to athletics has increased by more than 12 percent. As a result, the department raised over $350,000 through various fundraising initiatives. Prior to accepting his first job as Director of Athletics, Alnutt served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director at the University of Missouri. Alnutt was the administrative liaison for football; supervised track and field, cross country, gymnastics and golf; spearheaded the department’s project management team; served as the primary point person for the Athletic Department, overseeing all aspects of facility project master planning, development, management and implementation; and was involved with external department operations, including development, game operations, marketing, media relations, Mizzou Sports Properties and ticket operations. Alnutt also managed postseason travel arrangements for each of the University of Missouri’s 20 intercollegiate sport programs. He oversaw Missouri’s Nike contract, the Big Wheels and Flying Tiger programs and the department’s relationship with Old Hawthorne Golf Club. In 2009, he managed a $5 million video board project through the University of Missouri Sports Complex with the centerpiece being a new board at Faurot Field. He also oversaw the design and construction of the new Golden Girls/Gymnastics practice facililty in the fall of 2011. Alnutt was actively involved in the solicitation and stewardship efforts of capital gift giving, as well. Alnutt spent six years at the University of Missouri as director of football

operations, adding an assistant athletic director title prior to the 2005-2006 season. In that role, his duties included coordinating the team’s travel plans, overseeing the football budget, handling compliance issues, scheduling of facilities, assisting with recruiting operations and managing the day-to-day operations of the football program. He coordinated public relations and community service events for football, and oversaw all organizational aspects for the University of Missouri’s trips to the 2003 and 2005 Independence Bowl games played in Shreveport, La. He also represented the football program as part of the design team that planned the $16 million expansion and renovation project which turned the Tom Taylor Building into the Missouri Athletics Training Complex. Alnutt was a three-year letterman for the University of Missouri as a linebacker and tight end from 1993-1995 and was voted the team’s champion of the year as a senior. He earned a degree in sociology in 1995 and went to work for Major Brands as a senior salesman in Kansas City from February 1996 to August 1997. He returned to the University of Missouri to pursue a master’s degree in public administration with an emphasis on sports psychology. He joined the Missouri football staff in 1998 as an administrative/video graduate assistant. Alnutt completed his master’s degree in May 2000 and took over as director of football operations that August. A native of Kansas City, Alnutt served as president of the board of directors for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Boone County and was selected to participate in the 2002-2003 NCAA Leadership Institute for Ethnic Minority Males. In June 2005, he was recognized by Columbia Business Times as one of the Columbia’s 40-Under-40 business leaders for his work in the community. He has participated in the Division

I-A Athletic Director’s Institute, attended the NACDA Mentoring Institute and chaired the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics committee. In 2010, he was the recipient of an Outstanding Chancellor’s Staff recognition and the Barbara S. Uehling Award for Administrative Excellence at the University of Missouri. Alnutt was selected to serve a four-year term on the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee, effective Sept. 1, 2013. The NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee (MOIC) was formed by the Association in January 1990 to review issues related to the interests of ethnic minorities and women. These issues focus on the education and welfare of minority student-athletes, as well as the enhancement of opportunities for ethnic minorities and women in coaching, athletics, administration, officiating and the NCAA governance structure. A year later, Alnutt was appointed to serve a four-year term on the NCAA Football Playing Rules Committee that will begin Sept. 1, 2014. The mission of the NCAA Football Rules Committee is to govern the playing rules of collegiate football by: Acknowledging the traditions of sport; Soliciting input from various college constituencies; Examining existing regulations and making necessary modifications to create safe, practical, concise and enforceable rules; and influencing the long term vision and direction of NCAA football. Alnutt and his wife, the former Kate Hankins, are the parents of four children, Jaren, Kinleigh, Mason and Aidan.

As the 2014 Southeast Missouri volleyball season is set to open,

head coach Julie Yankus recognizes some hurdles her team will have to overcome but is highly confident her young 2014 squad is up for the challenges facing them.

The end of the 2013 season saw the graduation of four seniors, all of which rewrote the Southeast Missouri record books during their time with the Redhawks.

Yankus began, “We are a very young team this year with six freshmen. In fact, 11 of our 15 players are within their first two years at Southeast. I look at that as a positive becuase these girls are very willing to learn, they have a lot of eagerness on the court, and they have so much energy.”

A common theme Yankus continued referring to was the

team’s ability to pass. “We have a lot of great ball

control this year. We brought in a lot of great passers; which is key because we need solid ball control to get the ball in play and get in system. Once we get that going, our offensive weapons will really be on display. We have some great middles and rightsides who can put the ball down and we need to be in system in order for them to terminate. The goal is to consistently be in system and make everyone on the court a threat.”Outside Hitters

The Redhawks lost a strong force on the outside last season in Colleen Yarber. Yarber became a member of the 1,000-kill club and she ranks sixth all-time in career attack attempts at Southeast.

Returning for her senior season is Andrea Baylin (Dublin, Ohio). Baylin is the Redhawks’ top-returning kills leader with 262 last season. Besides being a threat offensively, Baylin also tallied the second-most digs on the team a year ago with 410, or 3.13 digs/set.

“Baylin is coming off another strong season, especially in conference play. Her conference stats were pretty strong last year, especially her hitting percentage and her digs/set. She is just a good all-around player on the court. We look for her leadership on the floor. She’s a fifth-year senior so she has so much experience to help her lead this team. She has an especially

high volleyball I.Q. and that helps her put the ball away. Besides being a hitter, we look for her to contribute as well in the back court as a passer and defender.”

Fellow outside hitter and senior Alex Rohlfing (Waterloo, Ill.), returns for her second season in a Redhawk uniform. Rohlfing saw limited action a season ago but had some clutch moments when it counted most.

“We are excited to have Alex back another year. She has a powerful arm swing. Her arm is quick and it’s crazy some things she can do with it. She does a great job terminating the ball. That’s really her strength: her offense and ability to terminate on the outside. We know if there is a pressure situation, Alex will always go down swinging.”

outside hitters are both freshman but both will be expected to contribute in their first year as a Redhawk.

Krissa Gearring (Bollingbrook, Ill.) started and lettered four years at Bolingbrook High School and was named the Sun-Times Top 50 volleyball players in Illinois.

“Krissa has trained at a high-level club program so her all-around skills are great. She will be fighting for a position on the floor right away because her ball control is great and she has a great form for all volleyball skills. She is a very smart player and her technique is very sound.”

Carlie Cuffle (Spaulding, Ill.) comes to Southeast from Riverton High School where she was a four-year start and team captain her junior and senior seasons. A terrific athlete, Cuffle also was a standout

on the girl’s basketball team as well as the soccer team.

“Carlie is similar to Krissa in that she is a very skilled all-around player. She is a great passer as well as very quick. She and Krissa were constantly winning sprints this summer. Her quickness and her size will help her a lot. She is a little bigger so that allows her to take up more space and put up a bigger block in the front row. She also knows how to terminate and is a very smart player. Rightside Hitters

The Redhawks’ rightsides are the most experienced position on the court this season as all three are veterans of the squad. Coach Yankus anticipates a strong battle for a starting roll on the rightside as there is a lot of talent in the group.

Senior Kelsey Keeve (La Grange, Ill.) has seen the most time at rightside throughout her career. Keeve laid down 119 kills (1.01 kills/set) with a .152 hitting clip. She also put up 83 blocks (13 solo, 70 assisted) on the rightside; third-most on last year’s squad.

“Kelsey is back and is bringing a lot of experience with her. She has proven this preseason that she wants to be on the floor competing as much as possible. Her weapon has always been the slide; she has always been a terrific slide hitter and still is. We are working hard to get that connection with our setter because the slide only works

when the hitter and setter are on the same page. Besides being a great offensive player, she is equally as good defensively. She still puts up a great block and lines up well. Another great all-around player.”

Meredith Stranges (Dublin, Ohio) also returns for her senior season in 2014. Stranges brings a lot of experience with her as well as a very high volleyball I.Q.

“Meredith is by far one of the smartest players on this team. Her ability to see the court and find ways to score really trick the opposing defense and tends to throw them off. She just does a great job of seeing the court, finding ways to score, and also does all the little things well. She is working on improving her back row presence and being a tougher server. Another great all-around player for us.”

Madalyn Werths (Edwardsville, Ill.) is beginning her sophomore season as a Redhawk. As a freshman, Werths played 35 sets in 2013, a number she hopes to increase this year.

“Maddie has worked extremely hard this summer. One can tell that by just looking at her vertical jump. She already had a great vertical last year but she is really skying right now. She has worked really hard to get more in shape, become more mobile, and become more flexible and loose when she moves around on the court. Her blocking has always been great and that is something we haven’t really had to work on with Maddie this preseason.” Middle Blockers

2013 saw the end of Emily Coon’s career at Southeast. Coon was a consistent offensive

and defensive threat on the net throughout her career. Coon was inducted into the 1,000 kill club a season ago and ranks sixth all-time in block assists (372) and eighth all-time in total blocks (489).

However, Coach Yankus is very confident in this years crop of middle blockers as they bring big arm swings and a lot of size to the middle of the net for Southeast. She feels it will be interesting but very exciting to watch the middle blockers in 2014.

Leading the middle blockers this season is junior Taylor Masterson (Chesterfield, Mo.). Masterson was the top-blocker in the OVC last season with 139 total blocks (49 solo, 90 assisted), good for 1.09 blocks/set. Masterson was an OVC All-Newcomer her redshirt freshman year and has already been named Preseason All-OVC this season.

“I am very excited to have Taylor back. I joke that our opponents ask every season what year she is and can’t believe she is only a junior. She’s another one that has worked very hard during the summer to get where she is physically and it pays off on the court. Her blocking is amazing and we look for her to average over a block a set again this season. She is getting smarter and quicker. Offensively, we are seeing better connections between Taylor and out setters, which is great because we are going to try and get her the ball even more this season.”

Of Southeast’s three middle blockers, two are fresh to the team this year and both happen to be freshman.

Jessica McElderry (Hoover, Ala.) comes to Southeast after having a stellar high school career at Hoover High School.

“Jessica is doing a great job for us. She has come in and has shown us she is a quick learner and is eager to improve. She is also quick to make adjustments, which is very important in an athlete. As a freshman, we expect to see her on the floor at some point as well as Nzingha so it’ll be a battle in that position. Jessica is changing from a swing block to a static block but like I said, she’s a quick learner. She trusts and understands our system so that will help her tremendously.”

Nzingha Clarke (O’Fallon, Ill.) is another freshman who is

expected to make a big impact on the floor for the Redhawks right away.

“Nzingha is another one of those players that just goes up and absolutely crushes the ball on the 10-foot line. She too is doing a great job so far in preseason. Offensively, she smashes the ball so if we can get it to her, she will hit for a very high percentage because she touches the ball so high and swings aggressively all the time. Once she understands the blocking system, she will be terrific all around. Once again, she is trusting the system and learning it quickly.” Setters

Another senior from the 2013 team was star setter Julie Shives. Shives finished with 4,601 assists in her career, ranking fifth all-time. However, Coach Yankus feels the setters on 2014’s squad will be able

to pick up right where Shives left off and will be able to run the fast-paced offense that Southeast runs.

Sophomore Katarina Rotta (Walworth, Wis.) is back after a year of learning from and playing behind Shives. Rotta played in 29 sets as a true freshman.

“Kat has worked very hard this spring and summer to work on her leadership and establish that role as the returning setter and getting her hitters to trust in her. She has great hands and can throw the ball from one sideline to the other quite easily. She also drastically improved her decision making and who to go to with the ball. Her vision has also improved a lot in terms of seeing who to go to with those choices. Her confidence is a lot higher and she is well on her way to becoming the setter we all know she can be.”

Allie Henkelman (St. Charles, Mo.) joins the sqaud as a freshman after a highly successful setting career at Francis Howell High School.

“Overall as an athlete, Allie has come in and done a great job. She is smart defensively as well as smart in the front row as a setter and offensively. We are working on her connection with our hitters but her overall game has been great. She listens well and is always making adjustments to get hitters in good positions.”

LiberosThe fourth senior from the 2013

squad that graduated was Berkley Idel. Idel started at Libero much of her career. Her 1,500+ digs ranks fourth all-time at Southeast.

Sophomore Jade Mortimer (Bloomington, Ill.) played all last season as a defensive specialist. Mortimer saw the most playing time of any freshman last season as she played in 115 sets. Mortimer will most likely be taking over the starting libero position this season.

“Jade will really compete for the starting libero spot since it has become vacant. Her quickness has greatly improved and she has also worked a lot on her leadership and vocal presence on the court, more specifically, the back row. We are continuing to work on her assertiveness and passing while establishing that libero mentality.”

Haley Roberts (Farmington, Mo.) didn’t see much action in

KATARINA ROTTA

JADE MORTIMER

2013 but Coach Yankus expects her attitude to play a big part on the team this year.

“Haley has improved a ton. She has really gained her confidence back and has really become comfortable after her first year with us. Her passing has improved greatly from a year ago. Haley has always been great defensively by getting things up by throwing an arm out and getting a quality dig out of it. Her attitude is also so great. She will help our team out a lot just by her fun attitude and being a great teammate.”

The final piece to the puzzle for the Redhawks in 2014 is freshman defensive specialist Jessica Lambert (Columbia, Mo.).

“Jessica has done a great job of coming in, taking everything in, and trying to make adjustments where she needs to. She is a very,

very scrappy player. Her attitude on the court, her mentality, and her hustle shows she wants to be here and she is a great addition to the squad. Preseason Poll

After being picked to win the West Division in 2013, some feel the pressure got to them and the season ended less than spectacular. However, after the release of the 2014 OVC Preseason Poll, the Redhawks feel they are right where they want to be.

Southeast Missouri was picked seventh among the field of 12 teams in the league. The OVC will no longer use divisions for ranking purposes in 2014.

“I am not surprised about being picked seventh this year. We lost a lot of talent and a lot of starters but so did many of the other teams in the league. We plan to use this as motivation to keep pushing along and be the underdog; something we are fine with. We generally tend to be more comfortable in that roll. While others may not know anything about the player we have coming in, I know we have a great crop of new players and everyone is willing to step up and compete. We will be very exciting to watch this season. We play high-paced volleyball and we have a very deep bench this season. This is the first year we have a really deep bench and that is huge for us.”

Nikki Buchholz

Nikki Buchholz is in her fifth season as an assistant coach at Southeast Missouri. Buchholz coaches the middle blockers and

rightside hitters and is also in charge of team travel, tape exchange, and equipment. She also assists with scouting opponents, film breakdown, and daily practice planning. Buchholz is also heavily involved in the coordination of Redhawks volleyball camps and clinics. Redhawks clinics are designed to bring young players to Houck Field House during their off seasons and get them excited about playing the game of volleyball. Clinics are very low commitment but feature a great turnout each week. Redhawks Camps are designed to be more intensive as players work on all volleyball skills as well as teamwork, confidence building, and volleyball I.Q. In 2013, the Redhawks middle blockers proved to be impenetrable walls on the net. The Redhawks were the top-blockers in the league as they averaged 2.39 blocks per set. In all, Southeast posted 316 total blocks; 72.5 more than the second-most team, Eastern Illinois. The Redhawks’ 2.39 blocks/set mark was up from 2012 in which they averaged 2.21, which ranked second in the league. Both years are up dramatically from 2010 (her first season) when they averaged 1.66. Since joining the Southeast coaching staff, Buchholz has mentored four-time All-OVC honoree Emily Coon (2010-13). Coon garnered All-Newcomer honors as a freshman and was named to the All-OVC team all three seasons after. Coon was a top blocker in the league throughout her career.

Her 159 total blocks led the Northeast-10 Conference, as did her 1.26 blocks per game. She was also named team MVP that season. At the completion of her four-year career at Franklin Pierce, Buchholz guided the Ravens to four consecutive Northeast-10 Conference Championship appearances. She was also named conference player of the week five times and set the school career record for kills (1,271) and blocks (493). Buchholz also excelled in the classroom, as she graduated cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications with a minor in Creative Writing. She was a three-time First-Team Academic All-Conference selection. Buchholz is currently working towards her doctorate degree in Educational Leadership in Policy Analysis from the University of Missouri.

Coaching History

16 Years of Coaching Excellence

Cindy Gannon has been a part of the Southeast Missouri athletics staff for over 25 years, transitioning from a successful coaching career to Southeast’s Senior Associate Athletic Director/Senior

Woman’s Administrator. Before becoming Senior Associate Athletic Director, Gannon coached the Redhawks’ volleyball program for 16 seasons, winning a program-record 366 matches, eight Ohio Valley Conference regular season titles, and five OVC Tournament Championships. Gannon garnered OVC Coach of the Year four times throughout her career (1993, ‘95, ‘96, ‘99). Gannon mentored five OVC Players of the Year and one Freshman of the Year. In all, 51 of Gannon’s players earned All-OVC honors during her 16-year tenure. Academically, Southeast Missouri earned seven American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Academic Honors under Gannon. Individually, Southeast featured two CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and three Academic All-District honorees. Gannon moved to Southeast’s administration in 2005 and has served as the Redhawks Director of Athletics on an interim basis in 2007-08 and 2011-12. Today, Gannon serves as the sport administrator for the Southeast volleyball, soccer, softball, tennis, track, and gymnastics programs. She also oversees event management and sports information and is responsible for the athletic department’s equity and diversity programs and departmental policies and procedures. During her time at Southeast, Gannon founded and serves as director for the Annual Walk for Women’s Athletics, an event that provides scholarship funds for the Redhawks Legacy program.

DIG FORLIFE



92

Once again, the Southeast Missouri State volleyball team joined forces with

Saint Francis Medical Center and over 40 local businesses and 20 area schools to raise a record number of funds for the Dig For Life and Pink Up Cape campaigns in 2013.

The annual campaign runs during the month of October and coincides with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Members of the Southeast volleyball team secure pledges per dig that are tallied through October home matches at Houck Field House. The money raised is then allocated to Saint Francis Medical Center for the campaign’s purpose of educating women in the Southeast Missouri area about breast cancer awareness, providing early detection opportunities and improving prevention efforts. The Redhawks produced 266 digs in four home matches in October 2013. In 2012, they had a record 487 digs in seven October home matches that season.

The Dig for Life campaign was started in 2000 by former volleyball head coach and current Senior Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator Cindy Gannon and sponsored by Saint Francis Medical Center to help educate women about breast cancer. The campaign also raises money to provide mammograms for women.

Dig for Life has been able to provide mammograms to area women who could not receive this screening due to lack of adequate health insurance, high deductibles,

unemployment or inability to pay. Since its inception in 2000, the program has funded over 2,000 free mammograms to area women.

The university’s Athletics department continues to embrace the Dig for Life campaign as other sports have joined the volleyball team’s efforts during their respective seasons, including gymnastics, women’s soccer, women’s basketball, softball and baseball. Each season, these teams honor area breast cancer survivors to raise awareness of breast cancer and support the Dig For Life campaign.

“I am so thankful to Saint Francis Medical Center and the Southeast volleyball team for all their efforts in the Dig for Life campaign,” said Gannon. “This program began in memory of my mother and thanks to the hard work and generosity of so many people, her memory lives on and we are potentially saving the lives of many women. I feel very fortunate to be associated with such wonderful and caring individuals.”


Since its inception in 2000, the Dig for Life

campaign has raised money for area women to receive mammogram testing who could otherwise not afford

them.

THIS ISTHE OVC


96

Now in its 67th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I confer-ence. In May 2011 the Conference ex-panded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commis-sioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the com-missioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athlet-ics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics direc-tor at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segrega-tion, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to ac-cept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic oppor-

tunities to African-Americans. After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA be-gan sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to pro-vide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and vol-leyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the au-tomatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the govern-ing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998. Through the past 66 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns, which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with 10, and Murray State and former member Western Ken-tucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed seven football crowns and Jacksonville State has three, while More-head State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, Southeast Missouri, UT Martin and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning eight of them. Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky were also participants in the NCAA Division II playoffs in the early and mid-1970s prior to the NCAA’s reclassification of football programs into Division I-AA. The term “I-AA” lasted until the end of the 2006 season when it was changed to Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

The first Division I-AA/FCS football playoff was held in 1978 with only four teams, which is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. In 1979, four of the nation’s top teams were invited to the playoffs, and two of them - Eastern Kentucky and Murray State - were from the OVC. Murray dropped its semifi-nal game to Lehigh, but the Colonels nipped Nevada-Reno in double overtime and claimed the national championship a week later with a 30-7 victory over Lehigh. EKU was coached by former All-America quarterback Roy Kidd, who was in his 16th year at the helm of his alma mater and who skippered the Colonels to a second national title three years later. Following the 2002 season, Kidd retired after 39 years at EKU; upon retirement, he ranked sixth all-time among Division I coaches with 315 vic-tories, earning him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. EKU’s 20 FCS playoff appearances are the second for the most all-time (behind only Montana and tied with Appalachian State). In addition to Kidd, other coaching legends in the OVC include Charles “Bubber” Murphy, who coached at Middle Tennessee from 1947-1968, Western Kentucky’s Jimmy Feix (1968-83), Wilburn Tucker (1954-67) and Don Wade (1968-82) of Tennessee Tech, Bill Ferguson (1967-77) of Murray State, Guy Penny (1959-67) of Morehead State and Boots Donnelly (1977-78 at Austin Peay; 1979-1998 at Middle Tennessee). Following the 2011 season Eastern Illinois head coach Bob Spoo retired after 25 years at the school (the last 16 as members of the OVC). In his time as an OVC coach he compiled 92 total victories (fifth-most in league history) and 68 OVC wins (fourth-most in league history) and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2012. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Amer-icans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the profes-sional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo and Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Il-


linois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The 2007 season marked a return to scholarship football and the OVC for the Austin Peay Governors. Following the 1996 season the Governors dropped scholarship football and competed as both an independent (1997-00, 2006) and as a member of the Pioneer Football League (2001-05). The 2007 season also brought new vernacular to the Ohio Valley Confer-ence and the division formerly known as I-AA. Beginning with the 2006 National Championship game the term I-AA was changed to NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in a decision by the Division I Board of Directors. The new label was chosen to communicate in a positive and clear manner the unique differences between Division I football categories (chiefly, the post-season opportunity) while still defining them within the Division I experience. The FCS includes programs that compete in an effort to participate in the NCAA championship postsea-son structure (one of 89 NCAA na-tional championships) as opposed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) which competes in an effort to participate in the postseason bowl system (the 35 NCAA-licensed events which includes the Bowl Championship Series). In 2010 Southeast Missouri State, picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll, compiled a 7-1 Conference record on the way to its first OVC Champion-ship since joining the league in 1991. Overall the Redhawks were 9-2 during the regular season and earned a berth in the FCS Playoffs, its first playoff berth at any level in the program’s 104-year history. Southeast would lose to eventual national champion Eastern Washing-ton in the second round of the playoffs. Head coach Tony Samuel capped the year by winning the Sports Network’s Eddie Robinson Award, given to the National Coach of the Year. Samuel was the second OVC coach to win the award (joining Murray State’s Houston Nutt

who won the award in 1995). For only the second time in league history in 2011, three teams shared the OVC football championship, as Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State and Ten-nessee Tech finished with 6-2 records. The only other time in league history more than two champions were crowned at the end of the year was 1962 (when four teams shared the crown). In 2012 Eastern Illinois became just the fourth football team in OVC history to go from worst-to-first in winning the OVC Championship. The Panthers were led by head coach Dino Babers who became just the fourth first-year head coach to win an OVC Championship (joining Boots Donnelly in 1977, Jason Simpson in 2006 and Dean Hood in 2008). During the year Eastern Illinois junior wide receiver Erik Lora shattered the FCS single-season receptions record, hauling in 136 passes in 12 games; that mark was 13 more than the previous NCAA record and 44 more than the previous OVC mark. In 2013 Eastern Illinois repeated as OVC Champions behind Walter Payton Award winner Jimmy Garoppolo. The quarterback became just the second OVC player to earn the National Player of the Year Award, joining former EIU signal caller Tony Romo (2002). Garop-polo passed for 5,050 yards (second most in NCAA single-season history) and 53 touchdowns (fourth in NCAA history) in leading the Panthers to a 12-2 record and berth to the quarterfi-nals of the FCS Playoffs. Garoppolo was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, becoming just the fifth OVC player selected in that round and first OVC quarterback selected since 1998. The 2013 season saw the OVC snap a 19-game playoff losing streak dating back to the 2000 season. Tennessee State shutout Butler (marking the first OVC road playoff victory since 1986) to snap the streak while later that day Jackson-ville State smashed Samford in the first round. A week later Eastern Illinois beat Tennessee State while Jacksonville State won at McNeese State to each advance to the quarterfinals; that marked the first time the OVC put two times in the quarterfinals in the same season since 1991. Overall the four total playoff wins in the same season established a new

OVC record. Football wasn’t the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the presti-gious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tourna-ment, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime in the national semifinals. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the conso-lation game. Since that time, the OVC has record-ed some of the biggest upsets in the his-tory of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. The Racers’ M&M Boys - Jeff Martin and Don Mann - combined for 39 points in the win. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. A bank shot by Mann that would’ve given the Racers a one-point lead rolled off the rim with three seconds left. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men’s tournament action. More recently, Murray State has dominated the OVC Tournament, reaching the champion-


98

ship game every year in the 1990’s. The Racers’ 15 OVC Tournament Champi-onships are the most among all OVC schools. After former member Middle Ten-nessee State won a first round game in 1989, the league had a drought as no other OVC team won a NCAA Tourna-ment game for the next 19 years. But Morehead State, coming off a thrilling double overtime OVC Tournament vic-tory over Austin Peay, topped Alabama State 58-43 in the Opening Round game at University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The game was played in front of an Opening Round record crowd of 11,346; that crowd included many MSU fans who made the three-hour drive from Morehead for the game. In 2009-10, Murray State made OVC history by winning a record 31 games (31-5) on its way to the league’s regular season and tournament championships. In the first round of the NCAA Tourna-ment, the No. 13 seed Racers topped Vanderbilt in thrilling fashion when senior Danero Thomas hit a jumper as time expired to lift MSU to a 66-65 victory. It marked the first OVC team to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament since 1989, and snapped a skid of 71-straight loses to Southeastern Conference foes (dating back to 2000-01). In the second round the Racers pushed eventual national runner-up Butler to the brink before losing 54-52. In 2010-11 Morehead State would make it three NCAA Tournament wins in as many years for the league and got a bit of revenge for the 2009 tournament loss to Louisville in the process. After finishing second in the regular season and winning the OVC Tournament Championship, the No. 13 seeded Ea-gles were shipped to Denver to play the in-state foe Cardinals. MSU jumped out to a 15-2 advantage but were down four points (61-57) with just over a minute to play in regulation. After two free throws from two-time OVC Player of the Year Kenneth Faried, the Eagles held for one final shot attempt and senior Demonte Harper pulled up off a cross-over dribble to nail a 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left that gave Morehead State a 62-61 lead. UofL had one last attempt but Faried blocked the Cardinals last shot, giving MSU the win, its first over Louisville

since the 1956-57 season. In 2011-12 Murray State put together one of the greatest seasons in OVC history, beginning the year 23-0 (an all-time OVC best) and being ranked as high as No. 7 in the coaches poll on Feb. 6. The squad was the first OVC team to be nationally-ranked since Murray State was ranked in 1997-98; in addition the top 10 ranking was the first for an OVC team since the 1970-71 campaign (WKU). The Racers would top nation-ally-ranked Memphis and Saint Mary’s during the season and win the league’s regular season and tournament cham-pionships. MSU earned a No. 6 seed in NCAA Tournament, the highest-ever seed for an OVC team since the NCAA began seeding the field in 1979. The Racers would top Colorado State 58-41 in the second round before falling to Marquette in the third round. Murray State would win 31 games overall, tying the OVC all-time record the Racers set in 2009-10. After the Murray State win in 2011-12, the league had won NCAA Tourna-ment games in four-straight seasons, something that had never happened in league history (three-game winning streaks from 1960-62 and 1987-89 had been the previous best streaks). Over that time period (2009-12) the OVC was one of just nine conferences nation-ally to win a NCAA Tournament game in each season and one of only three non-BCS leagues (joining the Atlantic 10 and WCC) to do so. During the 2010-11 year Faried, the nation’s leading rebounder during the season, became the NCAA’s Modern Era (since 1973) career rebounding leader, totaling 1,673 rebounds which passed Tim Duncan for the record (he is 11th all-time in NCAA history). Faried also finished his career with 86 double-doubles, second all-time to only Duncan. He is one of only six players in NCAA history to finish with 2,000-plus career points (2,009) and 1,600-plus career rebounds. Faried was drafted 22nd overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2011 NBA Draft, becoming the first OVC player selected in the first round since Tennessee State’s Carlos Rogers 1994. Through its 66 years, 13 teams have won or shared the league’s regular season men’s basketball title. Murray

State heads the list with a Conference-record 23 outright or shared basketball crowns. Other past champions include former member Western Kentucky (19), Morehead State (9), Austin Peay (8), Eastern Kentucky (6), Tennessee Tech (5), former member Middle Tennessee (5), Tennessee State (2), former member East Tennessee State (2), Belmont (2 – including winning the titles in each of its first two years in the league), South-east Missouri State (1), UT Martin (1) and former member Akron (1). Among the coaching greats in men’s basketball have been Western Ken-tucky’s E.A. Diddle, who retired with 759 victories and 10 OVC titles; John Oldham, who was a member of the very first All-OVC squad and went on to win seven OVC crowns during his coaching tenure at Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky; Paul McBrayer, who guided Eastern Kentucky to 219 wins and three OVC crowns; and Cal Luther, who is the only person in Conference history to win men’s basketball Coach of the Year honors at two league schools - Murray State and UT Martin. Current Austin Peay head coach Dave Loos became the winningest coach in OVC history in 2009-10, netting his 319th victory and passing Luther on the all-time list. Loos enters the 2014-15 season with 383 victories. There have been an equal number of great players including Western Ken-tucky’s Clem Haskins, who is the only three-time OVC Player of the Year. Several players have won OVC Player of the Year honors twice: Western Ken-tucky’s Jim McDaniels (1969-70 and 1970-71), Murray State’s Les Taylor (1971-72, 1972-73), Jeff Martin (1987-88, 1988-89), Popeye Jones (1989-90, 1990-91) and Marcus Brown (1994-95, 1995-96), Austin Peay’s Otis Howard (1976-77, 1977-78), Middle Tennessee’s Jerry Beck (1980-81, 1981-82), Akron’s Joe Jakubick (1982-83, 1983-84), Ten-nessee State’s Carlos Rogers (1992-93, 1993-94), UT Martin’s Lester Hudson (2007-08, 2008-09), Morehead State’s Kenneth Faried (2009-10, 2010-11) and Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan (2011-12, 2012-13). The OVC also has the honor of being the only conference to boast the na-tion’s leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists all in one season. That feat was


accomplished in 1991-92 by Morehead State’s Brett Roberts (28.1 ppg), Murray State’s Popeye Jones (14.4 rpg) and Ten-nessee Tech’s Van Usher (8.8 apg). In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 2008-09 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a con-test. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Murray State guard Isaiah Canaan, a first-team All-American in 2011-12, capped his illustrious career in 2012-13 by becoming just the 17th player in OVC history to score 2,000 or more career points (and the third player in the past three years to do so). Canaan, who was a key part of Murray State NCAA Tournament victories in both 2010 and 2012, earned a pair of OVC Player of the Year honors (2012 and 2013) during his career as well as being named OVC Freshman of the Year (2010), OVC Tournament MVP (2010) and OVC Male Athlete of the Year (2012). Women’s basketball in the OVC has been dominated by Tennessee Tech, which has won or shared 18 regular-sea-son titles and owns nine OVC Tourna-ment crowns. In fact, the Golden Eagles have reached the championship game of the OVC Tournament 22 times in the past 32 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer, five other teams have won 14 of the last 21 OVC Tournaments. UT Martin became the latest program to add its name to the list, capturing its first OVC Tournament title in 2011 and also winning championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Skyhawks became just the fourth team in OVC history (and first since Austin Peay from 2000-03) to win four-straight tourna-ment titles. Several coaches have made their mark in the history of OVC women’s bas-ketball. Former Tennessee Tech coach

Marynell Meadors posted an amaz-ing 363-139 (72.3%) record at Tech, becoming the first woman in NCAA or AIAW history to win 300 games at the same institution, while former Tennes-see State skipper Teresa Phillips earned National Coach of the Year honors from USA Today in 1990 for turning around the Lady Tigers’ program before going on to lead TSU to the NCAA Tour-nament in 1994 and 1995. Tennessee Tech coach Bill Worrell capped a stellar 20-year career in 2005-06 and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2007; he compiled a 408-190 record while leading the Golden Eagles to an unprecedented 16 OVC regular-season titles and eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including five straight from 1989-93. Larry Joe Inman, who retired at the conclusion of the 2007-08 season and was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2009, won more than 100 games at both Middle Tennessee and Eastern Kentucky, and earned OVC Coach of the Year honors a record eight times - five times at EKU and three at MTSU. In 2012-13 Inman came out of retirement to take the Tennessee State job. Many great players have graced the hardwood over the years, including former OVC Players of the Year Brooke Armistead and Gerlonda Hardin from Austin Peay, Pam Chambers, Jerilynn Harper, Cheryl Taylor, Angela Moore-head, Roschelle Vaughn, Diane Seng, Janet Holt and Emily Christian from Tennessee Tech; Morehead State’s Donna Murphy, Priscilla Blackford and Chynna Bozeman; Eastern Kentucky’s Kim Mays; Southeast Missouri’s Gray C. Harris; Murray State’s Ashley Hayes; and UT Martin’s Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome. Morehead State center Brittany Pitt-man set new school, league and NCAA standards for blocked shots in 2008-09. Pittman swatted 164 shots during the season, setting a new NCAA single-season record (which has since been broken). During the campaign, only her second with the Eagles, she also set career block records for both Morehead State and the OVC (287). In 2012-13 the UT Martin duo of Jasmine Newsome and Heather Butler finished fifth and sixth nationally among NCAA scoring leaders. Newsome,

the 2012 and 2013 OVC Player of the Year, averaged 22.6 points per game on the way to All-American honors while Butler averaged 22.4 points per contest. Butler set a NCAA record during the season by connecting on a 3-pointer in her 80th-straight game. In 2013-14 Butler and Newsome capped their brilliant careers by ranking first and second in scoring in OVC his-tory. Butler, the 2013-14 OVC Female Athlete of the Year, finished her career with 2,865 points, which ranked first in OVC and 16th in NCAA history. She also finished her career with 392 career 3-pointers (tied for the most in NCAA history) and scored in double figures in all 129 career games which ranks fifth in NCAA history. Following the season Butler was signed by the WNBA’s San Antonio Stars where she became the first OVC player to make an active WNBA roster. Newsome capped her career with 2,566 points, second only to Butler in OVC history. The league also had another histori-cal moment in November 2008 when the NCAA awarded Nashville the 2014 NCAA Women’s Division I Final Four. The OVC served as the host of the pres-tigious event, which is one of the biggest sporting events the city of Nashville can host. The event was held April 6 & 8 at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nash-ville and was played in front of sold-out crowds for both the semifinals and championship as UConn topped Notre Dame in a battle of undefeated teams to win its ninth national title. Over its 66 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf. The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a mem-ber of the 2004 United States Olym-pic Rifle Team and Morehead State’s Brian Shimer who competed in five Winter Olympics in bobsled (winning a bronze medal in 2002) and coached the 2010 United States bobsled team to its first gold medal since 1948. Former Morehead State football and Eastern Kentucky track and field athlete Dal-las Robinson competed with the U.S. bobsled team during the 2014 Sochi


100

Winter Olympics. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Ham-ilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Ken-neth Faried (Morehead State), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players A.J. Ellis (Austin Peay) and Shawn Kelley (Austin Peay). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Cham-pionship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). The OVC’s first volleyball tourna-ment was held in 1981, the same year Eastern Kentucky began a string of six straight tournament crowns. Former EKU skipper Dr. Geri Polvino compiled a 627-439 record in 32 seasons as head coach of the Colonels, earning OVC Coach of the Year honors eight times. More recently, former Austin Peay coach Cheryl Holt and former Southeast Mis-souri skipper Cindy Gannon also earned their peers’ recognition multiple times with four awards each. Throughout the last 31 years, 11 different teams have won an OVC regular-season or tournament volleyball crown. Since joining the league in 1991, Southeast Missouri has dominated the scene, winning seven of its eight regular-season titles during the 1990’s, including five straight from 1993-97. The Red-hawks have also won five tournament crowns (1994, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000). Jacksonville State won back-to-back OVC Tournament Championships (2005, 2006) including going through the OVC undefeated (16-0) in 2006 and winning a NCAA Tournament match in 2010, the league’s first NCAA victory since 2000. Following the 2007 season, Jackson-ville State’s Abbey Breit was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Year for the third-straight season, becoming the first player in OVC history to accom-plish that feat. Four other individuals - Eastern Kentucky’s Angela Boykins (1985-86), Morehead State’s Dayle Hammontree (1988-89), Southeast Missouri’s Tuba Meto (1996-97) and

Morehead State’s Amy Almond (2001-02) – were back-to-back winners of the award. Morehead State won its fourth-straight OVC regular season champi-onship in 2013. Over that time period the Eagles have compiled an impressive 67-3 league record. In 2007, Eastern Kentucky’s Jacob Korir won his fourth-straight Confer-ence cross country title becoming just the third OVC student-athlete and 13th athlete nationally to accomplish that feat. Korir was a three-time All-Ameri-can in cross country, earning two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Cross Country Championship. The Nairobi, Kenya, native was also named a track and field All-American twice during his career, was selected as the OVC Male Athlete of the Year in 2006-07 and received the NCAA post graduate scholarship in 2008. In 2011 the Eastern Kentucky men’s cross country earned a national ranking in the USTFCCCA poll, climbing to as high as No. 17; the ranking was the highest for an OVC team since the polls began in the early 1980s. The EKU men would qualify for the NCAA Champi-onship, becoming the first OVC team to reach the national championship meet since 1980. Eastern Kentucky finished 26th overall at the event as junior Soufi-ane Bouchikhi was 47th in a field of 252 runners. On the women’s side Eastern Kentucky senior Lydia Kosgei became the first EKU woman to ever qualify for the NCAA Championship and went on to finish 37th at the national meet, marking the second-highest finish for a female in OVC history, and also earning All-American honors. A year later (2012) the EKU men’s cross country team was ranked as high as No. 11 nationally and finished 24th at the NCAA Championship. Wade Meddles led the team with a 38th place finish at the event while Bouchikhi was 40th. In 2013 Eastern Kentucky placed 15th at the NCAA Championship, the highest national finish for an OVC team since 1980. Soufiane Bouchikhi capped his career by winning his fourth-straight OVC Championship and earning National Runner of the Week honors during the season. Bouchikhi finished 26th at the NCAA Championship in 2013, earning All-American honors for

the second-straight season. In 2007 the Conference had two teams in the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament for the first time in league history, as former OVC member Sam-ford earned an at-large selection while Southeast Missouri was the Confer-ence’s automatic bid. In 2009 it was OVC softball that ac-complished several firsts as UT Martin (tournament champion) and Jacksonville State (at-large) were each selected for the NCAA Championship. Jacksonville State would take it a step farther by winning the Knoxville Regional (beat-ing No. 13 national seed Tennessee along the way) to become the first OVC softball program to advance to a Super Regional. Jax State would fall to No. 4 Alabama in that Super Regional but finished the season 43-16 (19-2 OVC) and ranked 21st nationally in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and 24th nation-ally in the USA Today/NFCA poll. The league’s baseball presence has continued to evolve since its inception. The OVC baseball tournament moved to a neutral site for the first time in 2001 with Paducah, Ky. and Brooks Sta-dium hosting the tournament in front of raucous crowds. The success of the tournament led to Jackson, Tenn. and The Ballpark at Jackson (the home of the Seattle Mariner’s Class AA affiliate) – hosting the event for the first time in 2010. The OVC also has made a statement in the NCAA Baseball Championship in recent years, with its teams involved in several memorable contests in the last decade. Tennessee Tech surprised Wake Forest in the opening round of the 2001 tournament and Southeast Missouri stunned host Alabama in the opening round of the 2002 championship. Five years later, Austin Peay captured the collegiate baseball world’s attention by taking Vanderbilt, the 2007 No. 1 overall seed, to extra innings. Eastern Illinois pushed host Nebraska to the limit in 2008 followed by Tennessee Tech’s memorable contest against host Clem-son in 2009. After not making the OVC Tour-nament field in either 2009 or 2010, Austin Peay, who was picked to fin-ish seventh in the 2011 preseason poll, won the regular season and tournament championships to garner its fourth


NCAA Tournament appearance. In the first game of NCAA Regional play the Govs knocked off host and No. 1 seed Georgia Tech 2-1. In 2012 Austin Peay completed a “repeat squared” (back-to-back regular season and tournament championships) for the first-time in OVC history. The Govs would go on to top Indiana State and Cal State Fullerton at the Eugene Regional, before falling to host Oregon in the regional final. In marked the first time since the 2000 season (Middle Tennessee) that an OVC team had won multiple NCAA Tournaments games in the same season. Austin Peay completed a “3-Peayt” by winning its third-straight OVC Tourna-ment crown in 2013. Along the way the Govs garnered the first nationally-rank-ing by an OVC team since 2009 (climb-ing to as high as 21st nationally) and tied the OVC single-season record with 47 victories. The Govs earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Bloomington Re-gional, becoming the first OVC team in the current regional format (since 1999) to earn anything other than a No. 4 seed. The squad topped Florida and Valparaiso to advance to the regional final for the second-straight season before losing to host Indiana. Govs senior closer Tyler Rogers was a big part of his team’s suc-cess during the year, setting the NCAA single-season record for saves (23 – a mark that was later eclipsed during the College World Series). After the 2014 baseball season OVC teams have won at least one game in the NCAA regional round in five of the last eight years. For the third-straight year 12 OVC players were selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Of those 12 selections five came in the first 10 rounds, setting a new record for most OVC players picked in the first 10 rounds (eclipsing the old mark of three set several times). The 12 selections were once again just one off the record of 13 selections in 2010; overall the OVC has had 58 players selected over the past five years (2010-14). A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Ken-tucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in

the same school year. A year later (2009) the league had a Major League Baseball First Round Compensation Round pick (Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Kehrer who was No. 48 overall) and NBA Second Round pick (UT Martin’s Lester Hudson) in the same season. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commis-sioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institu-tional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Direc-tors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 229 student-athletes honored with the award, includ-ing 50 over the last five years (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14). Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan be-havior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leader-ship role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind “Sportsmanship State-ment,” a policy which promotes princi-ples of fair play, ethical conduct and re-spect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually pres-ents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former More-head State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Confer-ence has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhib-

ited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demon-strated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institu-tions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basket-ball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addi-tion, the OVC also sponsors the com-bined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of com-petition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representa-tives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwards-ville, Tennessee State University, Ten-nessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. In addition Columbus State University serves as an affiliate member for the sport of rifle.
