The ASU Volleyball program has produced nine Verizon Academic All-Americans, ranking tied for fourth among all universities.

Dating to 1986, the Sun Devil Volleyball program leads all Pac-10 schools with 34 selections to the all-conference academic team. ASU had five more selections last year, including Kim Mehlhorn and Sarah Watkins earning first-team honors. Watkins was also named to the CoSida Academic All-District VIII second team with a 4.0 GPA.

Freshman setter Rachel Mittelstaedt is the only freshman student-athlete to be named a National Merit Scholar.

ASU is a Doctoral/Research-Extensive I Institution, the highest distinction 0f the prestigious Carnegie Foundation classification system.

ASU's Tempe campus offers more than 100 majors through eight colleges and schools, 94 bachelors degree programs, 92 masters degrees, a highly regarded law degree and 51 doctoral degrees.

For the 10th time in 10 years, ASU has had a student on USA Today’s list of the nation’s top 40 undergraduates. Since USA Today began naming the top undergraduates in 1991, ASU has been a leading university in the number of students chosen for the USA Today Academic First-Team honors (top 20 undergraduates), currently ranking second in the country behind Harvard.

The Barrett Honors College is at its largest enrollment (2,700). Almost 100 percent of students in the college who apply to medical and law school are accepted.

ASU ranks third among public universities in the U.S. in the number of freshman National Merit Scholars enrolling last year (173). There are currently 444 National Merit Scholars studying at ASU.

ASU students have impressive records for Congressional Goldwater Scholarships (mathematics, science and engineering), British Marshall Scholarships (academics and leadership), Truman Scholarships (careers in public service) and Udall Scholarships (environmental/Native American).

Last year's 10 Fulbright grants to ASU students put ASU at No. 7 among public universities for this award.

ASU students this year won more NSEP/David L Boren Scholarships for study overseas than any other university in the US.

ASU is known as a powerhouse in national scholarship circles. This year, a record 27 ASU students won national competitions for elite academic awards.

ASU’s strong academic programs, great campus life and prime location made it one of the “12 Hottest Colleges” in the 2003 “How to Get Info College” guide published by Kaplan and Newsweek.

OUTLOOKOUTLOOK

It may have only been a one-win improvement, but for a young team in the middle of a rebuilding pro-

cess, one win was a solid step in the right direction.With eight newcomers, the 2004 Arizona State

volleyball program finished 10-17 and tied for sev-enth in the Pac-10.

Under third-year head coach Brad Saindon, the goals for 2005 remain much the same. Keep improv-ing, be competitive and advance to the NCAA Tournament.

With all but one returning player from last season and the return of senior setter Giovana Melo from knee injury, Saindon believes he has all the pieces of the puzzle to turn ASU back into an annual tourna-ment contender.

“We have a good group of returning players and it seems as if we improve every time we step on the court,” said Saindon. “There is a lot of work to be done and the success isn’t going to come overnight, but we are confident we can continue to work towards our ultimate goal of contending for the NCAA Tournament every season.”

Saindon and his all-ASU coaching staff of Terri Spann (4th year) and Jami Coughlin (3rd year) are looking to build off a strong spring practice and are encouraged by the improvement of seven freshmen that are now sophomores.

“Last year they were freshmen and sometimes they played like freshmen,” said Saindon in regards to the recruiting class that was ranked in the top 12. “Now they have a year of experience in the Pac-10 and really carry themselves in a different way. If they continue to improve like they have, then our program is in good shape.”

The 2005 Sun Devils will take the court with two freshmen, seven sophomores, three juniors and two seniors on the roster. Only defensive specialist Stephanie Kohner does not return from the 2004 squad.

Saindon continues to advertise his exciting brand of volleyball that brings a lot more speed and quickness.

“The brand we bring to this program is unique and something that remains to be an experiment,” said Saindon. “We will continue to be quick, but I also think you will see us be a lot bigger and stronger.”

With a team laden with youthful talent, the Sun Devils will have their hands full heading into the 33rd year in program history. Despite the youth, ASU has its eyes locked on a goal to make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament and finish in the top six of the Pac-10.

“Like every program, we go into the season with goals of making the NCAA tournament,” said Saindon. “That is our number one goal, to make it to the Field of 64. They are pretty lofty goals, but you have to aim high.”

The Outside Hitters:A year ago the Devils were scrambling to find a

replacement for injured outside hitter Natalie Harris. While several stepped in for the one-time All-Pac-10 player, the season provided more of a stepping stone in terms of development.

Junior Nicole Morton (Fallbrook, Calif.) is com-ing off a strong season in which she led the team averaging 3.53 kills and recorded 18 matches with

double-digits in kills. Morton is slated to be ASU’s main offensive weapon on the outside and has improved drastically in each of her two seasons in the Maroon and Gold.

“I think Nicole is really ready to take off and be a star,” said Saindon. “She had a great spring and has really gotten stronger. I have high expectations for her and really think she is going to be the corner-stone of our team.”

Senior Sarah Watkins (Mishawaka, Ind.) is ASU’s most veteran player and is also slated to start on the outside. Averaging a career-high 2.97 kills and 2.14 digs per game last season, Watkins has played in 63 career matches and has shown steady progress in Saindon’s system.

“Sarah is our team leader, both on and off the court,” said Saindon. “She is a model student-ath-lete and has turned into a really solid player.”

In addition to Morton and Watkins, the Sun Devils have a strong supporting cast that can step right in and contend for a starting spot. Junior Nina Reeves (Gilbert, Ariz.) came on strong at the end of the season and finished averaging 1.91 kpg and 2.12 dpg. Reeves is a dynamic player with great leaping ability and bring an enormous amount of energy to the court.

Also in the mix is freshman Margie Giordano (Glendale, Ariz.), and sophomores Kristin Trayser (Crystal Lake, Ill.) and Danielle Fernandes (Santa Monica, Calif.). Giordano was the Arizona/Gatorade State Player of the Year out of Glendale’s Mountain Ridge High School in 2004 and has the ability to be an impact player right away.

In the Middle:Considered one of the most important posi-

tions in Saindon’s offensive system, the middle blocker position promises to be one of ASU’s strong points.

Sophomores Colette Meek (Sherwood Park, Alberta) and Staci Smith (Gresham, Ore.) will battle junior Tierra Burnley (Santa Clarita, Calif.) for the majority of playing time. Meek is coming off a solid campaign in which she was named to the All-Pac-10 Freshman team after setting the ASU freshman record with 1.20 blocks per game. She also aver-aged 2.26 kills per game and led ASU with a .296 hitting percentage.

“Colette had a phenomenal freshman season and really showed how good she can be,” said Saindon. “She has the ability at times to completely take over a match and she is going to be a big part of our success.”

Smith, who is one of ASU’s tallest players at 6-1, had a strong finish to her freshman season and is looking to build offer her late-season improvement. She averaged 2.19 kpg over her last seven matches and finished the year ranked fourth on the team with 0.65 blocks per game.

Burnley has seen her playing time increase in each of her two seasons at ASU and will push for a starting spot. She is coming off a solid season in which she averaged 1.74 kills per game and ranked second on the team in both hitting percentage (.284) and blocks per game (0.87) as a sophomore.

On the Setter Position:You won’t win many football games if you don’t

have a strong quarterback, and the same can be said

in volleyball if you don’t have a good setter. The Sun Devils have a pair of good setters heading into 2005 and the competition for the starting spot between sophomore Rachel Mittelstaedt (Phoenix, Ariz.) and redshirt senior Giovana Melo (Ribeirao Preto, Brazil) will most likely continue throughout the season.

Mittelstaedt started 25 of ASU’s 27 matches after Melo went down with a season-ending knee injury. She was named honorable mention All-Pac-10 Freshman after averaging 10.59 assists per game. After a solid freshman campaign and a summer training with the USA Volleyball Junior National Team, Mittelstaedt is likely the leading candidate for the starting spot.

“Rachel had her ups and downs as a freshman, but that is expected, and she held her own against a very tough schedule,” said Saindon.

Melo looked to have a lock on the starting posi-tion last season, averaging 10.60 assists per game and leading ASU to a pair of victories in the in the season-opening tournament. But, Melo tore her ACL the next week during practice and was lost for the season.

Also adding depth and likely sitting out the season as a redshirt candidate will be freshman Marina Mercer.

The Libero/Defensive Specialist:A hallmark of Saindon’s system is defense. The

defensive duo of sophomores Sydney Donahue and Alison Lund will combine to make the libero position one of ASU’s strongest.

Donahue rewrote the ASU freshman record books averaging 4.36 digs per game and was named to the Pac-10 All-Freshman team. She also set the freshman record with 30 digs in a match and recorded 14 matches with 10 or more digs.

“Sydney proved last year she was one of the best defensive players in the Pac-10,” added Saindon. “She will anchor our defense and provides a lot of energy.”

Lund saw action in 24 matches last season and averaged 1.14 digs per game.

Senior outside hitter Sarah Watkins has started 63 matches in her career and is coming off a solid junior season in which she averaged 2.97 kills per game.


Head Coach Brad SaindonHead Coach Brad Saindon

Br a d S a i n d o n

begins his third year as the head v o l l e y b a l l coach at Arizona State U n i v e r s i t y . Saindon has led the Sun Devils to a

19-35 record in his two seasons at the helm of the Sun Devils and is quickly rebuilding the program into an annual contender for the NCAA Tournament.

Absent from the college coaching ranks for six years prior to starting his tenure at ASU, Saindon brings a wealth of international and college coaching experience to the sidelines.

Saindon’s first two seasons in Tempe has had some memorable highlights, including Natalie Harris finishing fifth in the conference in kills per game (3.95) while earning All-Pac-10 honorable men-tion in 2003 and Colette Meek, Sydney Donahue and Rachel Mittelstaedt earn-ing All-Pac-10 Freshman honors last season. He also became only the sec-ond coach in ASU volleyball history to defeat rival Arizona in his first try. The landmark 3-2 victory over the Wildcats on Sept. 26, 2003 came in dramatic come-from-behind fashion after trailing 2-0 before prevailing 26-30, 23-30, 30-24, 36-34, 15-10.

Prior to starting at ASU, Saindon was an assistant coach with the USA Men’s National Volleyball Team under head coach Doug Beal for two years. He arrived at his second stint with USA Volleyball after serving as head coach of the Australian Women’s National and Olympic Volleyball Team for four years. Under Saindon’s direction the Australian women’s national team climbed from a world ranking of No. 40 in May 1997 to a world ranking of No. 14 after placing 9th at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Saindon also served as an assistant coach under head coach Bill Neville from 1989-1990

for USA Volleyball. His responsibilities with USA Volleyball included running and planning daily practices and over-seeing the daily strength and condi-tioning program at the USOC training facility in Colorado Springs, Colo. He has coached in over 350 international events in 27 countries, including various world championships, world cups, Asian Championships, the Goodwill Games and many others.

Saindon’s resume also includes a tre-mendously successful coaching career in the college ranks. He was the archi-tect for the women’s volleyball program at the University of Colorado, start-ing the program from scratch in April 1986. Under his direction the Lady Buffs posted a 181-112 record from 1986-97, qualified for the NCAA volleyball tournament six times (1991-1996), were Big Eight Conference Champions in 1993, were runners-up in the Big Eight Conference five times, and captured two Big Eight Conference tournament titles (1992 and 1993). Saindon was named Big Eight Conference Coach of the Year three times (1988, 1992, and 1993). In 14 seasons as a head coach at the collegiate level, Saindon owns an impressive 263-175 record for a .600 winning percentage.

Colorado became a perennial nation-al power under Saindon’s guidance, earning a national ranking 45 times during his tenure. The 1993 squad fin-ished with a 26-6 record, winning both the Big 8 regular season title and the conference tournament. The Buffalos advanced to the Sweet 16 and Saindon earned his third Big 8 Coach of the Year award.

Prior to his position with the University of Colorado, Saindon was the head volleyball coach at Regis College from 1984-86, posting a career 63-28 record. Previously he served as the assistant volleyball coach at the University of Oklahoma from 1980-84. A native of Colorado, Saindon gradu-ated from Wheat Ridge High School in Wheat Ridge, Colo., in 1972. He went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in

business administration from Arizona State University in 1976 and a master’s degree in the scientific basis of sport from the University of Oklahoma in 1984.

He also has extensive experience in the sport of volleyball as a player. Saindon played for the Arizona State volleyball club team from 1972-1976. He also played for elite club teams in the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States Volleyball Association (1977-1980 and 1985). He made the All-Region Team each of those years and was named Most Valuable Player in the Rocky Mountain Region in 1977, 1978, 1980, and 1985. He played three years professionally in the International Volleyball Association, playing for the Denver Comets in 1978 and 1980 and the Orange County Stars in 1979.

He has coached at virtually every level of volleyball, including grassroots development clubs, junior high and high school system, elite club level, col-legiate, national, and international and Olympic level. Throughout his career Saindon has been involved with USA Volleyball coaching and helping run numerous camps and clinics adminis-tered by USA Volleyball.

Third year head coach Brad Saindon has put together a young and exciting team for 2005. The Sun Devils return all but one player from last year’s squad.

Former Sun Devil volleyball stand-out Terri Spann begins her fourth

year as an assistant coach at Arizona State. Spann, who played for ASU from 1994-97 under her maiden last name of Cox, came to ASU in 2002 after spending a year as the assistant coach at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.

“It is great to be part of the pro-gram where I had such a great expe-rience as a student-athlete and have the opportunity help the program grow,” said Spann. “You always have a special bond with the school you played for and it has been a dream

come true for me to be back here in a coaching capacity.” Spann, a native of Long Beach, Calif., is a 1998 graduate of

ASU with a degree in English. She serves as ASU’s top assistant, heading up all recruiting duties and on-court skill development. She joins former Sun Devil outside hitter Jami Coughlin to com-plete the all-ASU coaching staff. Spann works specifically with the outside hitters and defense, both areas where she excelled as a player. Prior to coaching at Texas Tech, Spann was the head coach at Xavier Prep (Phoenix) High School and led the Gators to back-to-back appearances in the Class 5A Arizona High School State Championship, including winning the title in 2000.

“Terri is outgoing and personable and those attributes will help her in her relationship with both the current ASU players and

future recruits,” said ASU head coach Brad Saindon. “She still has the ability to get out on the court and teach by example. Terri also brings some great recruiting skills to the program as she is still networked in the high schools and club ranks in the Valley since her successful stint as head coach at Xavier Prep High School, but also in Southern California (hometown) and Texas, which are recruiting hotbeds.”

As a four-year starter at Arizona State (1994-97), Spann ranks in the top 10 in the ASU Volleyball record books in several catego-ries, finishing her career with 1,185 kills (9th) and 1,382 digs (3rd). She is only one of eight players in ASU volley-ball history to record 1,000 or more digs and kills in a career. Spann was an all-Pac-10 performer in 1996 when she recorded 441 kills (10th most in ASU single-season history) and 426 digs (7th most in ASU single-season history).

Spann has a seven-year-old daughter (Justine) and a newly-born son (Justice). She is married to former Sun Devil football player Creig Spann and resides in Gilbert.

Jami Coughlin begins her third year as part of the Arizona State Volleyball coaching staff. The former standout outside hitter

for the Sun Devils (1998-2001) was hired during Brad Saindon’s first season at ASU in 2003. Coughlin

joins Saindon (Arizona State, 1976) and Terri Spann (Arizona State, 1998) to round out a coaching staff consist-ing entirely of ASU graduates.

“We are very excited to have Jami as a part of our staff,” said Saindon. “She is a former student-athlete who excelled in both the classroom and on the court and is a great role model for our players. She was pretty new to coaching when she first came on our staff, but has really grown over the last few years.”

Coughlin’s vast responsibilities as an assistant coach include daily prac-tice organization, video breakdown

and recruiting. She also routinely practices with the outside hitters and helps coach defense.

Coughlin was a four-year standout for the Sun Devils from 1998-2001 and is a member of the ASU 30th Anniversary team. She graduated from Arizona State in 2002 with a perfect 4.0 GPA in special education. A three-time All-Pac-10 Academic selection and two-time Academic All-American, Coughlin begins her first stint as an assistant coach.

“This is a dream job for me to coach at Arizona State and con-tinue my love for the sport of volleyball,” said Coughlin. “To be honest, after I graduated I really never thought I would be coach-ing, but once I left I realized how much I loved the game and that is when things started to fall in place for me. I am excited to learn and to grow as a coach.”

During her four years on the court at ASU, Coughlin played in every match (108) and ranks second in ASU history with 1,528 digs and sixth with 1,360 kills. She is one of only eight Sun Devils to record 1,000 or more kills and digs in a career and ranks sixth all-time in Pac-10 volleyball his-tory with her dig total.

During her senior season in 2001, Coughlin led the Sun Devils averaging 3.56 kills per game and 3.98 digs per game. She led the Pac-10 in digs in two of her four years and recorded a double-double (kills/digs) in 84 of her 108 matches (77%). Coughlin is a native of Glendale, Ariz., and 1998 graduate of Moon Valley High School.

Terri Spann (Cox) played for the Sun Devils from 1994-97 and is one of only eight players in school history to record 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills in a career.

Coughlin ranks second in ASU history with 1,528 career digs from 1998-2001.

TThe Sun Devils fi nished the 2004 season with a 10-17 record and tied for seventh place in the Pac-10 with a

5-13 record... both records (overall and conference) were one-game improvements from 2003 under second-year head coach Brad Saindon... the Sun Devils featured a young team with eight newcomers, including seven freshmen... ASU also had two key knee injuries that sidelined senior setter Giovana Melo and outside hitter Natalie Harris for the entire season... Melo is expected to return for a fi fth year of eligibility in 2005... libero Sydney Donahue, middle blocker Colette Meek and setter Rachel Mittelstaedt were all named to the All-Pac-10 Freshman team... Donahue and Meek were fi rst-team selections, while Mittelstaedt earned honorable mention honors... junior outside hitter Sarah Watkins was named fi rst-team All-Pac-10 Academic for the second straight year and sophomore outside hitter Nicole Morton earned honorable mention academic honors... Watkins was also named fi rst-team Academic All-District VIII... ASU has 36 all-academic selections dating back to 1986, leading all Pac-10 schools... Morton led the team with 3.53 kills per game and 349.0 points (3.92 per game average)... she also led the team with 20 matches with double-digits in kills and seven double-doubles... Watkins fi nished second on the team with 2.97 kills per game and ranked second in the Pac-10 with 0.36 service aces per game (31 aces)... Watkins also had 12 matches with 10 or more kills, including a career-high 24 against Washington State (10/16)... Donahue set ASU freshman records with 4.36 digs per game and 375 total digs in her rookie season as the starting libero... she also broke the single-match freshman record with 30 digs against Oregon State (11/4)... she ranked fi fth in the Pac-10 in digs per game (4.36) and sixth in service aces per game (0.30)... she also led all Pac-10 freshman in both statistical categories... Donahue recorded 19 matches with 10 or more digs... Meek set the ASU freshman record with 1.20 blocks per game, ranking fi fth in the conference... she became the fi rst Sun Devil to average over 1.00 blocks per game since 1998... senior libero Stephanie Kohner

ended her career ranking second on the team with 2.36 digs per game... she came on strong near the end of the season recording double-digits in digs in her last three matches... ASU recorded seven or more blocks in 17 matches and the nine double-digit block matches are six more than the entire season output from 2003... the 17.0 blocks against Cal State Fullerton (9/18) were the most total blocks since 2002 (20.5 vs. California)... Meek’s 9.0 total blocks against CSF and Oregon State (10/9) are also the most by a single player since Amanda Burbridge and Michelle Mortensen also had nine in a single match in 2000... ASU’s tough schedule included 13 matches against ranked opponents... the competitive Pac-10 conference saw the six teams ahead of ASU earn fi nal top 25 rankings and three teams (USC, Stanford, Washington) advanced to the NCAA Final Four in Long Beach, Calif... with Stanford winning the NCAA title, the Pac-10 has now won four straight national championships.

ASU Volleyball HistoryASU Volleyball History

Arizona State University’s women’s volleyball program celebrates its

33rd anniversary in 2005 with the academic and athletic success that have taken many programs many decades to achieve on the national level. The Sun Devils initiated the program in fine style in 1973, when they captured the first-ever Intermountain Conference championship. ASU finished the season ranked 15th nationally under the guidance of head coach Mary Littlewood. At that time, Littlewood also handled head softball and basketball coaching duties. The following season saw the Sun Devils finish second in the conference en route to another top 20 national ranking (19th) in the final AIAW poll. Throughout the 1970s, Arizona State played solid, fundamental volleyball and finished among the upper division in the Intermountain Conference on a regular basis. Joanie Smith was ASU’s first volleyball star, as she garnered all-conference honors in 1976. The likes of Nancy Corea, Sheri Lobb and Donna Stuhr further helped ASU establish itself on the national scene during the ‘70s. Dale Flickinger, ASU’s second volleyball coach (1979-82), elevated the program and developed it into one of the nation’s up-and-coming programs. The 1979 season also marked the debut of a new conference for the Sun Devils — the Western Collegiate Athletic Association (WCAA). The 1980 campaign saw the entrance of Lisa Stuck and Terri Edison, and the tandem helped ASU to its initial 20-win season (24-17). Stuck became Arizona State’s first all-America performer due to her explosive and powerful offensive skills. She ranks among the career kill and service ace leaders, and still owns the school mark for most kills in a match (35). The Debbie Brown Era (1983-88) allowed the Sun Devils to move into the nation’s top 10 and produce such All-Americas as Tammy Webb, Regina Stahl and Christy Nore. Brown, a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team and assistant coach on the ‘88 U.S. Olympic squad, made stellar defensive skills commonplace in the Sun Devil program. Brown is currently the head coach at the University of Notre Dame. Excellence in the setter position has been synonymous with ASU volleyball

for most of the program’s life. Joan Oakley began the trend of solid passing technique and earned all-conference accolades as a freshman in 1978. Heather Forbes then followed Oakley as the Sun Devils’ playmaker. Regina Stahl ranked among the nation’s career assist leaders (5,180) when she graduated and guided the Sun Devils to three NCAA berths and eventually received All-America honors in 1986. Stahl’s replacement, Noelle Fridrich, continued the strong setting tradition at Arizona State to close out the 1980s. Jennifer Helfrich continued the tradition into the 90s. Sun Devil Tiffannie Johnson-Gates closed out her career by entering the ASU record books ranked fourth in career assists (2,698). Cheryl Anglin (2000-03) emerged as the No. 2 all-time setter in school history with 4,290 assists. Offensively, the names of Christine Garner, Webb, Nore, Valentina Vega, Amanda Burbridge, Tracey Barberie, Julia Leddy and Mindy Gowell (now Mindy Rich) are found throughout the record section. A valuable member on the ‘88, ‘92 and ‘96 U.S. Olympic teams, Webb, now Tammy Liley, was one of the most dominating figures on the collegiate scene. Her strength, leaping ability and general knowledge of the game allows her to remain a vital cog of the U.S. National team. Nore was perhaps the top ‘athlete’ to play volleyball at ASU, as quickness, power and precise passing made her a feared opponent. She led the country in

digs and ranked among the top 20 in kills in 1988, while tallying nearly 1,600 kills and digs during her tenure. Labeled as one of Arizona State’s first prized recruits, Vega finished her career with more than 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs, while playing in three NCAAs. Like Vega, Barberie provided the Sun Devils with a solid offensive and defensive threat throughout her four-year career. The outside hitter/middle blocker registered 1,032 kills and 1,104 digs, one of only seven players to surpass the 1,000 mark in both categories. During the 1990’s, Christine Garner set herself apart by becoming ASU’s all-time kills leader, pounding out an incredible 1,871 kills in her four years. Garner also notched over 1,000 digs and 100 service aces during her career . For her accomplishments, she was named a second-team AVCA All-America in ‘95. Garner also won a silver medal at the 1994 Goodwill Games. Amanda Burbridge (1997-2000) is the latest in the line of great Sun Devil volleyball players. Burbridge set the single-season record for kills with 599 in 2000 and was a second-team AVCA All-American. She finished her career with 1,597 career kills, ranking third in ASU history. In addition to being a second-team All-American in 2000, Burbridge was a two-time All-Pac-10 selection and was the AVCA National Player of the Week in 2000 after setting the school single-match record for kills (39) vs. Washington. In addition to the numerous on-court accolades, ASU has also made an impact with its academic success. Seven student-athletes (Burbridge, Jami Coughlin, Jennifer Helfrich, Mindy Gowell-Rich, Tracie Kisro, Noelle Fridrich) have earned academic All-American awards. Coughlin also ranks second in career digs with 1,528. In 2003, the Sun Devils named a 30th Anniversary team. The team honored the history of the program, both on the court and in the classroom. The 12-member team included Christine Garner, Amanda Burbridge, Christy Nore, Mindy Rich, Lisa Stuck, Jami Coughlin, Terri Cox, Tammy Webb, Regina Stahl, Valentina Vega, Leanne Schuster and Christine Everett. The Sun Devils head into the 2005 season under third-year head coach Brad Saindon and hope to make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2003.

Former Sun Devil All-American Christy Nore (1985-88) led the country in digs and ranked among the top 20 in kills in 1988. She was elected to the ASU Hall of Fame in 2002.

President/Athletic DirectorPresident/Athletic Director

On Saturday, April 23, 2005, Arizona

State University President Michael Crow se-

lected Lisa Love of the University of Southern

California to serve as the new Vice President

for University Athletics. She began in that

capacity July 1, 2005.

In June, prior to her ASU arrival, Love had

planned to climb 14,162-foot Mount Shasta

in northern California, adding yet another

accomplishment to an already impressive

personal resume. But the opportunity to

assume the athletic director’s chair at ASU

postponed those plans, perhaps to another

year. A trailblazer her entire career, Love is

now poised for the most challenging and fulfi lling climb of her profes-

sional life.

Love became ASU’s 21st athletic director (17th full-time) after taking

over for Christine Wilkinson, who is a senior vice president for the univer-

sity and had been serving as interim athletic director since April 8. Former

athletic director Gene Smith left the university April 8 for a similar post at

The Ohio State University.

Love moved part-time into administration in 1991, then full-time after

the 1998 season. She became a Senior Associate Athletic Director in

2002.

At USC she handled the day-to-day supervision of eight sports - in-

cluding women’s basketball, volleyball, tennis and men’s and women’s

swimming and diving - and monitored all women’s sports at the univer-

sity. She was active in the department’s strategic planning, gender equity,

civil rights and NCAA certifi cation issues and she served on the NCAA

Management Council. She also served two stints (1992 - 1993 and 2001

- 2002) as vice president of the Pacifi c-10 Conference.

As a coach, Love was a master teacher at the pinnacle of her profes-

sion. She compiled an impressive 404-171 as a college head coach for 17

seasons at Texas Arlington (199-78 from 1982-88) and USC (205-93 from

1989-98). At USC, she led the Trojans to nine NCAA tournament berths

and eight fi nishes in the national Top 15. She was selected as the Pac-10

Co-Coach of the Year in 1997. She was national Coach of the Year in

1988 when Arlington went 30-4 and fell one win shy of the Final Four.

A tremendous athlete as volleyball player in her own right, Love is also

a member of the Texas Tech University and Texas Arlington athletic Halls

of Fame. As a student-athlete, Love was a four-year volleyball starter and

an all-region performer at Texas Tech. She earned a bachelor’s degree

(1978) in physical education from Texas Tech and a master’s degree

(1985) in education administration from the University of North Texas.

Love also compiled a 79-40 record as head coach at Bowie High School

(1978-82) in Arlington, Texas.

Love also mentored some of the fi nest volleyball coaching talent in the

nation. Among her proteges are head volleyball coaches at Texas (Jer-

ritt Elliott), South Carolina (Nancy Somera), New Mexico (Kelley KcKee),

Indiana (Katie Weismiller) and Idaho (Debbie Buchanan).

ASU President Michael Crow said Love brings qualities and experience

that will carry ASU’s Athletic Department to championships and excel-

lence.

Love said her experience and President Crow’s vision for the university

will serve as her foundation as she steps into her new role at ASU.

Love plans to establish model programs at ASU by embracing the tra-

ditions of ASU and aggressively pursuing championships.
