Almost 40 years old, yet still impressive in its initial visual impact, stunning in its spacious yet simplistic structure and versatile in its myriad uses, the WVU Coliseum is one of the nation’s supreme showcases for college basketball, gymnastics, volleyball and wrestling. Whether it is during the day, when the sun shines down on the massive structure, or at night, when its golden lights make it an evening showcase, the Coliseum stands as one of the most striking facilities on the WVU campus and played a major role in the expansion of the area known as the Evansdale Campus. Many of West Virginia‘s past glories were accomplished without the benefit of adequate facilities. WVU identified the need to upgrade the infrastructure facilities of the 36-year-old Coliseum in order to be competitive in the BIG EAST Conference. The upgrades that took place in 2004 included: renovations to the basketball and volleyball locker rooms, construction of a basketball players’ lounge and team video theater, expansion of Coliseum strength and conditioning center, expansion of the

equipment room and training room and refurbishment of the Coliseum roof. Construction continued with a club seating area in the main arena, complete with private space for concessions, hospitality areas and rest rooms under the lower level seats. Starting in the 2008, new, state-of-the-art score/video boards, complete with high resolution video and expanded messaging capabilities, became part of the fan experience at the Coliseum. Panasonic, together with WVU, used the new video board systems as a showcase to feature the latest state-of-the-art video and audio technology. The video board features a four-sided, LED video replay system, providing replays and live event coverage, in-game scoring statistics, special messaging and sponsor advertisements. Two round LED halo boards are located above and below the new center-hung scoreboard, and two new LED auxiliary boards have been installed behind each basket. The system, valued at approximately $5 million, was made available to WVU in part through a generous commitment from alumnus Ben Statler and his wife Jo, and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. A new state-of-the-art directional sound system and lighting system was also installed in the Coliseum. The 14,000-seat domed arena has been the home of Mountaineer athletics for the past quarter of a century, but its many uses include commencement, concerts, conferences, floor shows and a host of educational and athletic events. The Coliseum ranks second only to the Mountainlair (WVU’s student union building) in everyday activity.Nearly 100 offices, 13 lecture and seminar rooms, a dance studio, safety lab, racquetball and squash courts, steam rooms and the Jerry West Mountaineer Room are included in the structure’s 10.5 million cubic feet of space. There are also more than 1,000 locker units in various dressing rooms located adjacent to the playing floor. It is added accessories like these that make the building so special, able to host an endless array of events.

Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University volleyball team. But becoming successful and positive role models on and off the court is just as significant to them. The Mountaineers give back to the Morgantown and surrounding communities every chance they get. “I think it is important that the girls give back as much as they can,” said coach Jill Kramer of her Mountaineers. “We are going to start the year off with a free kid’s clinic and that is the best way for them to give back. They can go in the gym and say ‘ten years ago, I was standing exactly where you are now,’ or ‘these are the things you need to do to get where I am and I am here if you need anything.’ That is the message that they are going to send to these kids and we have a great group of girls who are going to be great role models. We would really like to get involved with all of the youth in the community.” The team regularly donates its time and volleyball knowledge by hosting and teaching free clinics for local children to learn the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ volleyball skills they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work. The Mountaineers are frequent visitors to the Children’s Hospital and has sent Valentines Day cards to the troops in Iraq the last few years. Coach Kramer’s players can also be found reading to children at elementary schools in the “Read Aloud” program. During their visit, the student-athletes read to students in several classrooms and encouraged the school’s older students to apply themselves to their studies. Mountaineer coaches and players also take part in Relay For Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at WVU’s outdoor track and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand at West Virginia University. WVU’s strength and conditioning staff ensures all student-athletes are on year-long programs designed to continue improving the fitness capabilities needed in their sports To keep athletes in peak physical condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and an array of strength programs designed to increase performance. All student-athletes will also have their own program individually calculated and updated throughout the year. Equipped with excellent amenities and staffed by some of the finest strength coaches in the nation, athletes who come to West Virginia know that they are in good hands when it comes to their athletic capacity.

VOLLEYBALL’S PRIMARY TRAINING CONCENTRATIONS The main training area focuses for the volleyball team are anaerobic conditioning, aerobic conditioning, total body power and explosiveness, agility and quickness, speed, core strength, neural recruitment, balance and proprioception.

WEIGHT LIFTING The lifting portion of the volleyball routine is used to improve overall strength, power and explosion. This is accomplished through cycled periodization of Olympic lifts, conventional weight lifting techniques, plyometrics, core, injury prevention exercises, agility and speed work. Athletes are also advised on proper nutrition.

BEING FLEXIBLE An increase in stride length, frequency and range of motion in joint to tendon relationships is directly correlated to speed, agility and injury prevention. Therefore it is important to make flexibility an area of emphasis. Good flexibility helps to improve speed, agility and reduces the risk of injury. Each workout is preceded with a dynamic flexibility routine with regular stretching and followed by a post-flexibility routine at the end of every workout.

PROPER NUTRITION Each athlete is educated on correct dietary habits and essential vitamins and minerals necessary to be an elite athlete. The athletes have the opportunity to meet with nutritionists, go on guided grocery store tours and receive diets designed specifically for them.

CORE TRAINING For volleyball players, the abdominal and low back regions are the units that tie the upper and lower extremities’ power together. In order to have excellent maneuverability and transfer of power, an athlete must have superior balance and strength in this core region. Training of the core region occurs three times per week using balance balls, medicine balls and other volleyball specific drills.

CONDITIONING Rigorous conditioning designed to elicit physiological changes in the body’s bioenergetics systems occurs 3-4 days a week with an emphasis on volleyball-specific anaerobic and aerobic conditioning.

THE WEIGHT ROOMS Accomplishing those conditioning requirements occurs in several campus weight rooms. Housing almost 15 tons of total weight, the Mountaineer weight room is located in the Puskar Center at Mountaineer Field. The 22,000-square foot weight room features a three-lane track for conditioning and 40 times, one of only two collegiate weight rooms to have such a track. Seven power platforms and 40 pieces of Hammer Strength weight equipment make the facility the envy of all opponents. Weight rooms also exist in the WVU Coliseum and Shell Building facilities. These weight rooms are located directly beside the volleyball playing and practice fields, allowing for workouts to be scheduled as needed around practices throughout the year. These weight rooms are also located near the outdoor and indoor tracks, providing year-round surfaces for volleyball conditioning.

WVU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PHILOSOPHY The WVU strength and conditioning staff is dedicated to developing the athlete and more specifically the person. Their primary goals are to improve athletic performance, injury prevention, promote self image and confidence and develop mental toughness. The training cycles transcend all aspects of physiological development. Athletes are trained in areas of speed, agility, quickness, explosive training, Olympic weight lifting, conventional weight lifting, band training, injury prevention movements, plyometrics, core, balance, functional training, bioenergetics related to individual sport, nutrition, flexibility, medicine ball training, proprioception, balance ball training and various other practices. Through the use of those tactics, speed, agility, strength, power, force, acceleration, deceleration, mobility, top speed, explosiveness, reaction, conditioning, balance, core stability, confidence, mental toughness, good nutrition habits, kinesthetic awareness and proprioception are focused upon. All of theses dimensions of training are adapted and phased regularly for the individual athlete’s needs and the demands of his specific sport. This is accomplished through the use of periodization. It is the belief of the strength staff that providing an all-encompassing, sport specific, individualized program will enable athletes to reach their physiological potential. With positive reinforcement and a structured, disciplined atmosphere, athletes will elicit confidence and mental strength to ensure success in all of life’s endeavors.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING MISSION STATEMENT To provide athletes with the knowledge, character, extrinsic motivation, discipline and training to reach their potential

both personally and athletically. Student-athletes are offered the opportunity to train in some of the nation’s best facilities and with one of the nation’s best staffs. Physical development and dominance have been and continue to be traits that are equated with WVU. The athlete’s self confidence and unwavering dedication have driven him into the nation’s spotlight. This is made possible through

the give-and-take relationships between the athletes and staff. The WVU strength and conditioning staff is committed to enabling athletes to achieve their dreams.

With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 academic year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. A year ago, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

2010 BIG EAST VOLLEYBALL

Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair and completed a successful first year in charge in 2009-10. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

WVU’S ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDES

ðTeam educational counselors

ðTutoring and mentoring services

ðPriority registration for student-athletes

ðPost-eligibility assistance

The WVU student services staff, headed by Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Garrett Ford and his assistants Sandy Cole-DeMent, Erica Wycherley, Paul Downey, Mark Hanselman and Donnie Tucker, makes sure that every student-athlete has the best possible opportunity to obtain a college degree. This process begins as soon as a recruit signs a letter-of-intent to play for the Mountaineers. “We know everything about incoming freshmen academically before they arrive in the fall,” said Ford. “We know which students are ahead of others and which will require more assistance.” Besides keeping in touch with freshmen, incoming student-athletes are encouraged to attend orientation sessions offered for all West Virginia University students during the summer prior to their arrival on campus. This is where new students can learn more about the Morgantown campus and, most importantly, register for classes. During the second week of classes, freshmen are enrolled in mandatory study halls, monitored by Ford and his staff. Those who do well during the first semester are given the option of attending study hall, but if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they must return to the mandatory sessions. During the semester, department officials keep a careful record of each student-athlete’s academic progress. Class and study hall attendance are checked regularly, periodic grade reports are obtained from instructors, and parents, coaches and players are kept up-to-date on their academic progress.

During priority registration, all student-athletes, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, get advice in scheduling the courses to keep them on track in their degree programs. These measures are succeeding in a noticeable way. Last year, 379 student-athletes earned a place on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll with at least a 3.0 grade-point average.

TUTORING SERVICE FACTS

ðOver 75 tutors provide student-athletes with assistance in their classes.

ðUpperclassmen, graduate students and community members serve as tutors in their area of specialty.

ðTutoring services are provided for all student-athletes regardless of scholarship status.

The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to the promotion of the academic achievement of student-athletes as well as their athletic accomplishment and their personal and career development. In support of this position, West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include having 11 student-athletes being named first team Academic All-Americans in seven of the last nine years and nearly 800 different student-athletes earning a 3.0 GPA during the 2008 and 2009 academic years. To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Coliseum Academic Performance Center.

MENTORING SERVICE FACTS Experienced educators from the local community serve as mentors for student-athletes who need additional guidance with adjusting to the academic rigors of the college environment.Mentors help incoming student-athletes improve accountability through time management, study skills and organizational skills related to their classes. In another program, former Mountaineer athletes are returning to school to complete work on their degrees, some after as many as 10 years away from Morgantown.But for those who don’t graduate with their class, there’s still hope. A continuing-eligibility program was created in 1989 to give those student-athletes who are close to graduating an opportunity to come back to school to complete their degrees. Since its creation, dozens of students have participated, with a success rate of better than 80 percent. More than 25 student-athletes from all sports participated in the post-eligibility program last year. In 1992, under the direction of associate Ford, WVU joined the growing list of schools that are a part of an NCAA-sponsored consortium. Similar to the post-eligibility program in providing former student-athletes a chance to continue work toward their degrees, the closely screened consortium requires participants to be more involved in community-related activities. The consortium students are often much older athletes, who left the University to pursue professional sports or business careers, but now wish to return to complete their degrees.

NCAA CERTIFICATION West Virginia University received unconditional recertification in April 2010 from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, recognizing that the University’s athletic program is in “substantial conformity with operating principles” adopted by Division I schools. The purpose of athletics certification is to ensure integrity in the institution’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments, the NCAA said. WVU was one of the first schools to volunteer for the NCAA’s pilot certification program in 1991, and was one of five schools originally certified. WVU’s program was recertified by the NCAA in 1996 and then again in 2001. The most recent round of recertification began in 2008 with a self-study of governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, as well as gender and diversity and student-athlete well-being. The Division I Committee on Athletics Certification preliminarily reviews an institution’s certification materials and provides a list of issues identified during the evaluation. The university then hosts a visit by peer reviewers who file a report regarding the institution’s resolution of those issues before a final certification decision is rendered. An institution’s failure to satisfactorily respond to the committee may negatively affect certification status. All 335 active Division I members participate in the certification process.

GRADUATION RATES West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 2002-03.

APR The West Virginia University men’s basketball team, women’s cross country team and women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2010 by the NCAA for their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads their respective sports. Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.

STUDENT ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to improve WVU athletic programs. They disseminate information important to student-athletes to share with their teams. Two representatives from each varsity team at West Virginia University are either elected by their teammates or selected by the members of their coaching staff. Under the guidance of SAAC advisor Terri Howes, the SAAC meets regularly to discuss current issues and concerns of WVU’s student-athletes. SAAC leaders attend BIG EAST Conference SAAC meetings to exchange ideas with other student-athletes from BIG EAST schools regarding student-athlete’s collegiate experience.

WHAT IS SAAC? The West Virginia University Student Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

ITS PURPOSEThe purpose of West Virginia University SAAC is: 1. To generate a student-athlete voice within WVU, the Big East and

NCAA structure. 2. Solicit student-athlete response to proposed WVU, Big East and

NCAA legislation. 3. Recommend potential WVU, Big East and NCAA legislation. 4. Review, react and comment to the governance structure on

legislation, activities and subjects of interest. 5. Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics

programs and the NCAA. 6. Promote a positive student-athlete image.

The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence and 5) community service.

COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The purpose of this area is to support the academic progress of student-athletes toward intellectual development and timely graduation. Services provided in this component include tutoring, academic counseling and advising, mentoring, U101 equivalent freshman orientation classes (SEP 170) and structured study sessions.

COMMITMENT TO ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE The purpose of this area is to offer athletic programs that are broad-based, equitable, and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete. Overall, WVUIA administration program supports and encourages a broad program of sports. CHAMPS/Life Skills acts as a performance psychology professional resource for the coaching and support staff of the athletic programs. COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging and supporting emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills. CHAMPS/Life Skills services provided within this component include personal counseling, health presentations, improving communication skills, and presentations on social development and fiscal responsibility. A satellite office of the WVU Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services and Well WVU is located in the Coliseum to support this commitment area.

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE The purpose of this component is to engage interested student-athletes in service to his or her campus and surrounding communities. Activities for student-athletes within this component include peer education, guest speaking at campus and community events and mentoring local children.

COMMITMENT TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to encourage student-athletes to develop and pursue career and life goals in a timely manner. The CHAMPS/Life Skills program fulfills this purpose by offering career development presentations, sport career retirement programs, transitions from college class in the spring semester (SEP 493), and by working in conjunction with the WVU Carruth Center and the WVU Career Services Center on identifying an individual’s interests, career goals, crafting resumes and facilitating job search process. For more information, contact WVUIA psychologist Dr. Ed Etzel in Room 275a in the Coliseum at (304) 293-7062 or visit GTA Michelle McAlarnen in Room 288 of the Coliseum.

Q & A WITH COACH JILL KRAMER

In your first season as a head coach, and your first season with the Mountaineer program, what changes have you made in how the program is going to be run? Wewanttofocusonthethingsthatwecancontrolandthosearethethingsthatourstaffisreallyworkingon.Wewanttostayreallyfocusedonhowhardweareworkingandthetypeofeffortthatwearegivingbothmentallyandphysically.Wealsoarefocusingourenthusiasminthegymandarewedoingeverythingwithallofourheart.

This season I have noticed that there is music played throughout practice. Is this to help the girl’s energy level or is it to help them learn to deal with distractions during matches? Itisalittlebitofboth.Wehavetolearntodealwiththosetypesofthingsallofthetimeduringmatches,soIdon’tseewhyitwouldbeanydifferentinpractice.Forthemostpart,Ireallylikelisteningtoupbeatmusicormusicthatjustmakesyoufeelgood–Iwantthemtofeelgood.

There seems to be a lot of hype building around the sport of volleyball here at WVU. How important is it to you that you have so much support from President James P. Clements and Director of Athletics Oliver Luck? PresidentClementsactuallysentmeane-mailthedaythatIacceptedtheposition,whichIthoughtwasfabulous.Iamexcitedaboutthatandwearetryingtobuildthefanbase.Ijustheardthatwehaveafriendthatisinvolvedwithmiddleschoolvolleyballintheareaandthattherewerearound80kidsthattriedoutthisyear.Wearetryingtogetallofthosekidsoutthisseasonandkeeptheminvolved.

SEASON REVIEW

It was more than just a good season for the West Virginia University volleyball team in 2009 – it was one of the best showings the Mountaineers have posted in the past few years and a taste of what is to come in 2010. WVU finished with a 17-13 overall mark and a 6-8 BIG EAST record, and fell just one match short of making the conference tournament. The Mountaineers also won five of six five-game matches, including outings against George Mason and Georgetown. Coach Veronica Hammersmith was pleased with the season and her team’s performance throughout the year. The 35-year veteran moved her all-time record to 580-574 (.503), while her team inched toward the

conference tournament with several good wins. “I thought we accomplished some goals that we set last season,” Hammersmith said. “We almost made it to the BIG EAST tournament, which was one of our goals. We tied for eighth place in the conference, but through tie-breakers, we didn’t get to go to the tournament. However, that was a step and an immense improvement from the year before. I feel like we established a stepping stone for next season.” As a team, the Mountaineers finished ranked third in digs (1,641), fourth in service aces (160) and seventh in blocks (237) in the BIG EAST, showing they were contenders throughout the season. Leading the Mountaineers was junior transfer Lauren Evans, a middle

SEASON REVIEW

hitter from Concordia-Irvine, who ended the season with 270 kills, 37 service aces, 68 digs and 121 total blocks. At the season’s end, Evans was named all-BIG EAST second team, marking the first time a Mountaineer had earned honors since Julie Hockenson in 2005. Sophomore setter Kari Post also had a good showing in her first full season in the starting role. The Yuba City, Calif., native posted 1,034 assists, which tied her for 10th place on WVU’s single season list. Combined with her first season, Post has 1,598 assists in her career, which also puts her 10th on WVU’s all-time assists list. “This season was a little bit easier for Kari because she got a full year under her belt,” coach Hammersmith said. “She struggled as a freshman because it is hard for freshmen to go in and run the plays we do and figure out how our offense works. This year was easier because she was familiar with the plays and how to utilize some of the hitters that we had, so that they could be most effective. I think it was a step up for Kari.” Also making her mark on the record books was junior libero Bonnie West. A Wildomar, Calif., native, West continued her streak of starting every match since her freshman season, as she posted 492 digs to put her fourth on the list for most digs in a single season at WVU. After just three seasons, she is third on WVU’s list for most digs in a career with 1,450, behind Michelle Domas (1,630). WVU’s season began with a second-place finish at the WVU Classic in which the Mountaineers defeated Towson (3-0), Oakland (3-0) and Saint Francis, Pa. (3-0) after falling to Oakland (3-0) in the opening match.

For their efforts in the WVU Classic, senior Abby Raines and junior Abby Norman were awarded with all-tournament team honors, as Raines recorded a total of 33 kills and 33 digs, with two double-doubles on the weekend, while Norman landed 23 kills and nine total blocks. Next, the Mountaineers traveled cross country to Denver, Colo., where they powered through Eastern Illinois (3-0), Air Force (3-0) and Southern Utah (3-0), before falling to tournament-host Denver in a close 3-2 match. The weekend was highlighted with Evans and Norman being named to the all-tournament team. Evans posted 36 kills with a .265 hitting percentage, while also adding a team-high 17 blocks. Norman recorded a team-high hitting percentage with 28 kills for a .321 average. The Mountaineers went on to post several tough wins including victories over conference foes Connecticut, Marquette and Villanova, all of which led to an opportunity to make the BIG EAST tournament. Tied for eighth place in the conference with Seton Hall, the Mountaineers headed into the last match of the season with the Pirates to fight for a bid to the tournament. However, despite their efforts, the Mountaineers fell to SHU in a 3-1 match. Even though the team fell just short of its goal of a conference championship appearance, the Mountaineers made steps toward improvement and to where they want to be. Next season, WVU will boast a squad of talented veterans who are looking to improve even more. Look for the WVU volleyball team to return in 2010 with vengeance, as it makes even bigger strides toward the BIG EAST Tournament.

ðWVU students receive $317 million annually in grants, loans, work study, fee waivers and scholarships.

ðWVU’s campus offers one of the nation’s safest college environments — Reader’s Digest ranked it 18th among 135 U.S. colleges and universities and gave WVU an A for its strong commitment to safety. A Farmer’s Insurance study ranked Morgantown as the 8th most secure place to live among U.S. towns with populations less than 150,000.

ðMorgantown was named the No. 1 small city in America by BizJournals.com and as the best small city in the East by Prometheus Publications. The American institute for Economic Research named Morgantown one of America’s “Best College Towns.” Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine listed the city 29th among “50 Smart Places to Live.” Recreational and job opportunities were among the factors Men’s Journal magazine cited in naming Morgantown the nation’s third-best small city. The Wellness Councils of America named Morgantown an elite “Well City,” and Sporting News named Morgantown one of its “Best Sports Cities.”

ðNational media outlets such as CNBC spotlighted Morgantown as an oasis of economic strength in the midst of a global recession, and Careerbuilder.com ranked the city as one of the “25 Best Cities to Find a Job.” A report by Fortune Small Business ranked Morgantown the 7th best small city to launch a small business.

ðWVU’s main Morgantown location includes three distinct campuses—Downtown, Evansdale and the Health Sciences campus .The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system — named top people-mover in the nation - has shuttled people among the campuses since the U.S. Department of Transportation built it 30 years ago.

ðThe Student Recreation Center offers a six-lane lap pool and a leisure pool; a 20-person whirlpool; seven courts for basketball, volleyball, and badminton; fitness machines and free weights covering 17,000 square feet; and a 50-foot climbing wall.

ðWVU has produced 25 Rhodes Scholars, more than any other school in the BIG EAST Conference.

JAMES P. CLEMENTS

James P. Clements has said that no university in the country means as much to its state as West Virginia University means to West Virginia. Since becoming WVU’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has shown a strong dedication to expanding the University’s role as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing superior academic programs, expanding a wellness initiative for students, technologically advancing research for use around the globe and strengthening service and health-care initiatives for the community. Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of this commitment, including: adding100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating capital funds to expand outdoor recreational space for students; creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; and increasing research to strengthen the University’s position as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences. Additional priorities have been to continue offering world-class health care and – through WVU’s Top-10 ranked Rural Health Program – remain committed to increasing state outreach in the health sciences. Other goals include finding more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, increasing the diversity of WVU’s learning community and developing an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities. He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds. In 2009-10, private giving to the University increased, external and competitive funding for research grew, and student applications increased, keeping enrollment strong. A major strategic planning process was launched, several new facilities opened and ground was broken on a project to house WVU’s nationally acclaimed Physics Program. Recently, Dr. Clements was appointed to the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Women in Higher Education and was appointed to serve as the Outreach Liaison for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), representing the Mid-Atlantic Region. Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to help achieve these objectives and guide WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second-largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the university.

With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. His project management textbook, in its fourth edition, is used in more than 20 countries and is published in four languages. At WVU, Dr. Clements is a tenured professor in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category. Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, and the WVU Hospitals. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards. He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.

OLIVER LUCK

Oliver Luck is the right man at the right time for West Virginia University. President James P. Clements appointed the former Mountaineer quarterback Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010, making him the 11th person to hold that title at WVU. “Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.” “It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU. “WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel

Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the National Football League and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the National Football League before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair

of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck was in the midst of securing the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed by Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relinquished in June 2010, to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated from WVU magna cum laude in 1982 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also earned a law degree from the University of Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame. He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, the starting quarterback and a Heisman Trophy candidate at Stanford; Mary Ellen, an incoming freshman volleyball player at Stanford; Emily and Addison.

ATHLETICS YEAR IN REVIEW The more things change, the more they stay the same. That certainly held true for West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. What stayed the same? Simply, it was WVU flexing its collective athletic muscles in the BIG EAST and on the national scene, yet again, in what continues to be the contemporary Golden Era. What changed? Simply, it was just changing the calendar to another year. Leading the way in what was yet another banner season for the department was the men’s basketball team’s school-record 31 wins, which saw the squad reach the NCAA Final Four for the second time in school history and win its first-ever BIG EAST championship. The team finished the year No. 3 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll, defeated seven ranked teams, reached the “Sweet 16” for the fifth time in the last six NCAA Tournament appearances, and coach Bob Huggins won his 670th career game in the Elite 8 victory over Kentucky. Individually, Da’Sean Butler led the way for WVU, garnering John Wooden, Basketball Times and Associated Press All-America honors and was named the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award winner. Devin Ebanks, Kevin Jones and Joe Mazzulla also garnered postseason honors. Football posted a 9-4 record and a 5-2 BIG EAST mark, tying for second in the league. WVU posted its fifth-straight season of nine wins or more, played in its eighth-straight bowl game and sixth New Year’s Day Bowl in the decade when it played Florida State in the Gator Bowl. WVU finished No. 22/25 in the final polls, marking the fifth- straight season WVU has finished in the Associated Press’ Top 25. Quarterback Jarrett Brown became the first 2,000-yard passer since 1998, and Noel Devine rushed for 1,465 yards, marking the 13th season out of the last 14 years where a Mountaineer eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. Ten Mountaineers earned all-BIG EAST honors, while Reed Williams, a two-time Academic All-American, was named the BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year and a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. West Virginia is the only school in the country during the last six years to win two BCS Bowl Games in football and make four Sweet 16 appearances in men’s basketball. Women’s basketball, also set a school record for most wins in a season (29), finished second in the BIG EAST with 13 wins and was the BIG EAST Championship runner-up for the second time in school history. WVU reached as high as No. 7 in both major polls, marking its highest ranking in school history, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s second round for the third time in the last four years. Liz Repella was named an ESPN

The Magazine/CoSIDA first team Academic All-American while Repella, Sarah Miles, Asya Bussie and Korinne Campbell were named all-BIG EAST. Coach Mike Carey was named BIG EAST co-Coach of the Year. Cross Country finished sixth at the NCAA Championships, marking the third-straight Top 10 national finish for the Mountaineers. Seniors Marie-Louise Asselin, Keri Bland and Clara Grandt earned All-America and all-BIG EAST honors and the squad was named an all-academic team by the USTFCCCA by showing the ninth-highest team GPA in the country, which also marked the highest GPA of any of the Top 25 teams at nationals. The cross country success carried over to the indoor track

season as the team posted a program-best fourth-place finish at the BIG EAST Championships and school-best 10th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Junior Chelsea Carrier and Asselin won conference titles in the pentathlon and 5,000-meter race, respectively, while seven student-athletes were named All-Americans, headlined by Carrier, Asselin, Bland, Grandt, Kaylyn Christopher, Jessica O’Connell and April Rotilio. Outdoor track finished 16th at the NCAA Championships, marking the highest finish in program history.
