Notre Dame has enjoyed 30 seasons of collegiate volleyball competi-tion highlighted by 21 academic and athletic All-Americans. With 629 all-time wins and 17 trips to the NCAA Tournament, Notre Dame has established itself as one of the premiere programs in the nation.

All About The IrishNotre Dame player to be named All-American was outside hitter Christy Peters, who earned third-team accolades from Volleyball Magazine in 1993 and 1994. Three others have been honorable mention All-Americans: middle blocker Jessica Fiebelkorn (1992), outside hitter Jaimie Lee (1997) and setter Denise Boylan (2000).

ALL-TIME GREAT – In May of 1995, USA Volleyball named Irish head coach Debbie Brown an “All-Time Great Volleyball Player,” the highest honor given by the organization. Her photo and records were added to the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass. Established in 1954, the All-Time Great designation honors players with Olympic or national team experience, All-America honors, U.S. Open Championships, and overall dominance during an era. As an outside hitter at USC, Brown helped the Women of Troy to a 72-1 record and a pair of national championships (1976 and 1977) before leaving to train full-time with the U.S. National Team. As a collegian, Brown was twice named a first-team All-American, while being honored with the Mikasa Award in both 1976 and 1977 as the nation’s best all-around player. Brown then served as captain of the national team in the 1978 World Championships, leading the U.S. to a fifth-place finish, and was tabbed a co-captain of the 1980 Olympic team that did not compete due to the United States boycott.

ATTENDANCE – Fan interest in the Irish volleyball program has exploded in the last decade, as crowds of more than 1,000 have taken in Notre Dame matches on 57 occasions since 2000. In 2003, the Notre Dame-Virginia Tech volleyball match, which ended with a thrilling five-game Irish victory, was played before a record crowd of 8,643

That season also featured the largest-ever crowd for a match not played before a football pep rally, as 2,715 witnessed Notre Dame beat Miami in three

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS – The University of Notre Dame ranks second all-time in the number of CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) Academic All-Americans produced in all sports since the distinction first debuted in 1952. Entering the 2011-12 school year, 223 student-athletes at the University have earned Academic All-America recognition. In 1992, Jessica Fiebelkorn (1989-92) became the first Irish volleyball player to earn Academic All-America honors. Jaimie Lee (1994-97) was the second player tagged with the honor (1997), while Lauren Brewster became the first Irish volleyball player to be both an athletic and academic All-American, gaining both accolades in 2005.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE – The Irish volleyball team has experienced unprecedented success in the classroom, registered 19 consecutive semesters with a 3.20+ team grade-point average, highlighted by a 3.448 in the 2002 spring semester, which stands as the highest mark on record (since 1992) by the squad. Eight times in the last 10 years (including 2007-08 when the team posted a program-best 3.443 GPA), Notre Dame has been honored with the AVCA Team Academic Award, which honors squads that have displayed excellence in the classroom by maintaining at least a 3.30 grade-point average during the school year.

ACADEMIC HONORS PROGRAM – Notre Dame’s Academic Honors Program, which completed its first decade in 2006-07, pairs top student-athletes at the University who excel at the highest level in athletics and academics with faculty mentors within the student-athletes’ academic areas of interest. Conducted under the auspices of the Notre Dame Student Development program and Academic Services for Student-Athletes, the program identifies high achievers and offers assistance in order that the students can achieve their fullest potential while attending the University. Five Irish volleyball players – Keara Coughlin (’03), Kim Fletcher (’04), Justine Stremick (’09) and Tara Enzweiler (’10) – have taken part in the honors program.

ALL-AMERICANS – Notre Dame has been represented more than ever in the annual All-America awards over the past few seasons. Most recently, rightside hitter Serinity Phillips was named a third team All-American by the AVCA in 2009, the same season Jamel Nicholas and Christina Kaelin copped honorable mention nods. The 2004 campaign saw middle blocker Lauren Brewster tabbed a third-team All-American by the AVCA – marking the first time in program history that an Irish player was listed on one of those teams – and then moved up to the second team in 2005 (when she was a first-team selection by Collegiate Volleyball Update). She also was the first Tennessee native from any four-year school (Divisions I, II, III, NAIA) to be named an AVCA All-American. In 2003, Brewster was joined by three of her teammates - setter Kristen Kinder, outside hitter Emily Loomis and middle blocker Lauren Kelbley - in claiming honorable mention All-America honors. Kelbley, an outside hitter in her final two seasons, earned that honor again in 2004 then was joined on that list by Adrianna Stasiuk in 2005. Prior to Brewster, the only

BIG EAST – Notre Dame took a landmark step in July of 1995 when the Irish officially became a member of the BIG EAST Conference after previously competing in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. Since becoming a conference member, Notre Dame has won a total of 107 league championships, more than any other school. The Irish volleyball team has been particularly dominant, posting a 162-21 (.885) regular-season mark en route to 11 regular season titles. In BIG EAST Tournament action, Notre Dame has a 28-6 (.823) record, highlighted by 13 trips to the final match and nine championships.

BIG EAST AWARDS – Since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 1995, Notre Dame has regularly earned some of the leagues top honors. Head coach Debbie Brown has been tabbed coach of the year six times, making her the only coach in conference history to claim the honor. Irish student-athletes were named player of the year six times in the first seven years of conference membership. In addition to a pair of setter-of-the-year awards (which was only given out three times by the league) and a rookie of the year award, Notre Dame has had nine players earn tournament MVP accolades (most recently Adrianna Stasiuk in 2005). In the 16-year span of league membership, Irish student-athletes have earned all-conference honors on 56 occasions, including 30 first-team accolades. Through the first 12 seasons with the BIG EAST, Notre Dame players accounted for exactly one-third of the total first-team selections during that span. Additionally, Notre Dame gained seven selections to the all-rookie team before it was dissolved and has had two honorable mention all-conference picks. The Irish have garnered 63 weekly honors, winning player of the week 43 times and rookie of the week on 20 occasions. In 2005, Notre Dame had a conference record of five players earn all-league accolades, with Lauren Kelbley becoming just the third player in conference history to be listed on the all-BIG EAST team on four occasions.

BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP – All but three of the 16 years of membership in the league have seen Notre Dame advance to the title match of the BIG EAST Championship, with the Irish claiming titles all but six times. The Irish won their first four BIG EAST tournaments (1995-98) and then took three straight from 2000-02 before claiming the 2004 and 2005 crowns. Notre Dame holds a 29-7 (.806) record in the event, sporting a 80-31 (.733) advantage in sets won. The Irish have seen nine different players named the tournament MVP, while the Joyce Center has played host to the BIG EAST Championship three times (1995, 2000 and 2003).

BOYLAN, DENISE – Arguably the best setter in Notre Dame history, Boylan ended her career in 2000 sitting in first in career assist average (12.37/set), second in total assists (4,687) and went on to play professionally for the United States Pro Volleyball league’s Minnesota Chill in 2002. Boylan became the first player to sweep the BIG EAST’s player-of-the-year, setter-of-the-year and championship most-outstanding-player awards in 2000.

games in a nationally-televised match. Notre Dame attracted the second-highest total (7,523) in program history during a BIG EAST battle with Cincinnati in 2007.

Debbie Brown was honored for her 500th career win in front of 5,743 fans against Marquette in 2006. In 2005, Notre Dame set program records for total season attendance (24,783) and average attendance (1,549). After never previously doing so, the Irish have been among the top 30 in Division I in attendance in six of the last eight seasons. The best finish was 16th in 2003 with an average of 1,543 per match, while Notre Dame was 25th in 2002 (1,064 average), 17th in 2004 (1,513), 20th in 2005 (1,549), 27th in 2006 (1,348) and 30th in 2007 (1,216).

AVCA POLL HISTORY – The 2005 campaign was noteworthy for the Irish as they not only achieved several program bests on the court, but made AVCA poll history as well. Notre Dame reached an all-time high of fifth in the poll on Oct. 31, 2005, becoming the first school ever to crack the AVCA’s top five after being unranked in the preseason. Also that season, Notre Dame tied the AVCA record for largest poll-to-poll jump, moving 11 spots from 19th to eighth on Sept. 12 (BYU also moved up 11 spots in the final poll in 1996) and broke the AVCA record for the largest two-poll jump, rising more than 17 spots from the preseason until Sept. 12 (the previous AVCA record saw Oral Roberts move from unranked to 10th in the final two polls in 1995). The Irish also spent a program-record 11 polls in the top 10 of the AVCA listing in 2005.

Since Debbie Brown took over the program in 1991, Notre Dame has frequented the AVCA poll on countless occasions. Notre Dame’s first ranking came in the 1992 preseason poll, and the Irish have been ranked at some point in the AVCA poll in every season but three since then (unranked in 1999 and 2008, received votes in the first four polls of the 2007 season). Most recently the Irish were ranked in the top 25 for three weeks of the 2009 campaign. In all, Notre Dame has been ranked in 137 polls since 1992. Only 19 schools have been ranked on more occasions than the Irish since the AVCA rankings debuted in 1982, and just 16 have been in more polls since the commencement of the 1992 campaign. The Irish have also enjoyed 19 weeks in the poll’s top 10.

BENNETT, ZANETTE – One of the first dominant Notre Dame volleyball players, Zanette Bennett came to Notre Dame as a member of the “Fab Four” recruiting class in 1985. Referring to her stellar volleyball play as a “past-time” while studying to be a doctor, Bennett established numerous Irish career records in her time as an outside hitter and middle blocker. The first Irish player to register 1,000 career kills, she still ranks fourth all-time in that category (1,471). Bennett still holds the Irish record for kills in a season with 548 set in 1987. She was a crowd favorite in the Joyce Center, as fans established the “Z Corner” similar to that of baseball pitcher Dwight Gooden’s “K Corner.” Each time “Z,” as her fans and the public-address announcer called her, recorded a kill, the fans would hang signs emblazoned with the letter “Z” from the bleachers.

“FAB FOUR” – Nickname assigned to the recruiting class of 1985: Zanette Bennett, Maureen Shea, Mary Kay Waller and Whitney Shewman. Serving as the nucleus of the emerging Irish volleyball program, these four players led the team to its first NCAA Tournament berth in 1988 and a school-record 17-match winning streak in 1986.

FIGHTING IRISH – Exactly where and how Notre Dame’s athletic nickname “Fighting Irish” came to origination never has been perfectly explained. One story suggests the moniker was born in 1899 with Notre Dame leading Northwestern 5-0 at halftime of a football game in Evanston, Ill. The Wildcat fans supposedly began to chant, “Kill the Fighting Irish, kill the Fighting Irish,” as the second half opened. Another tale has the nickname originating at halftime of the Notre Dame-Michigan football game in 1909. With his team trailing, one Notre Dame player yelled to his

Kristen Kinder (2002-03), Meg Henican (2004-05), Adrianna Stasiuk (2006-07), Mallorie Croal (2007-08) and Jamel Nicholas (2008-09). Notre Dame once had tri-captains when Kinder, Coughlin and Janie Alderete shared the duties in 2002.

CHEERLEADERS – The Notre Dame cheerleaders, which consist of students from Notre Dame and neighboring Saint Mary’s College, are a regular part of volleyball matches in the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center along with the famed Leprechaun mascot.

CLUB EXCELLENCE – Notre Dame has a long history of student-athletes who excelled in club volleyball before their time with the Irish. Adrianna Stasiuk (Sports Performance) played on six teams that won national championships, gaining All-America accolades four times including being named AAU MVP in 2002. Ashley Tarutis (Golden West) was a first-team All-American in both of her final two years, helping her team to a bronze medal in 2004. Christina Kaelin and Megan Fesl are also club All-Americans that have played for Notre Dame.

COMMISSIONER’S TROPHY – The BIG EAST Conference Commissioner’s Trophy, which was discontinued after the 2002-03 season, was awarded to the school with the top across-the-board athletic performance in conference sports. Notre Dame won the men’s Commissioner’s Trophy in each of the eight years in which it was eligible, while also capturing the women’s trophy seven straight times after placing second in 1995-96. Both streaks stand as conference records.

CONFERENCE DOMINANCE – As a member of the North Star conference beginning in 1983, Notre Dame had unprecedented success a member of a league (NSC: 1983-87, Midwestern Collegiate Conference: 1990-94 and the BIG EAST Conference: 1995-present). In 25 years of conference membership, Notre Dame has compiled a 229-38 (.858) record and won 16 regular-season championships and 15 tournament titles. Further, the Irish went just 4-7 in the North Star Conference in 1983, giving them a 201-27 (.882) mark since 1984, highlighted by a 79-match winning streak in regular-season and tournament play from 1990-98, which is the third-longest in Division I volleyball history. Upon becoming a BIG EAST member, the Irish won 41-in-a-row before falling for the first time to a conference team.

DIRECTORS’ CUP – In 2004 and 2005, outstanding fall campaigns (including points from the volleyball team’s NCAA runs) put Notre Dame atop the standings heading into the winter. Notre Dame has ended up in the top 25 of the standings 11 times in the 15 years since the contest debuted in 1993-94.

EARLY BEGINNINGS – The Notre Dame women’s volleyball program originated as a club sport in 1977. It became the University’s fifth women’s varsity sport in 1980 while experiencing a modest beginning at the Division II level. The Irish posted a 3-19 record in 1980 and a 14-22 mark in 1981 before making the jump to the Division I level in 1982.

BREWSTER, LAUREN – One of the top players in program history, Brewster concluded her career in 2005 as a two-time AVCA All-American (after no previous Irish player ever had earned mention on an AVCA All-America team). She was a CoSIDA Academic All-American in her final season, making her the first student-athlete in program history to be both an athletic and academic All-American. Brewster was three times a first-team all-BIG EAST selection (just the sixth in conference history, and first since 1997) and the MVP of the 2004 league tournament. A co-captain on the record-setting 2005 squad that was 30-4 and peaked at fifth in the AVCA poll, she graduated as the all-time Irish leader in career blocks (734). As a sophomore in 2003, she led NCAA Division I in blocking (1.78/gm) and helped the Irish take first in the team category (3.72/gm), with both of those crowns marking program firsts. Brewster was a member of the Irish coaching staff during the 2007 season.

BROWN, DEBBIE – The current Irish head volleyball coach took over a program in 1991 that had previously managed just five winning seasons in 12 years of varsity volleyball and has led the squad to 20 consecutive winning seasons (15 with 20+ victories) and 15 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths from 1992-2006. During the Brown era, Notre Dame has recorded a 463-183 (.717) record, including 228-49 (.823) in the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. Under Brown the Irish have won 15 regular-season conference championship as well as 13 tournament titles. Brown’s playing resumé is virtually unparalleled among Division I coaches, as she was a two-time winner of the Mikasa Award as the nation’s top all-around player, as well as a co-captain of the 1980 United States Olympic team.

CAPTAINS – In the 31-year history of varsity Irish volleyball, a total of 37 different student-athletes have served as Notre Dame team captains. Among the 12 multiple-year captains were Mary Jo Hensler and Josie Maternowski, who led the Irish for three years from 1982-84. The 11 two-time captains were Kathy Dages (1980-81), Kathleen Morin (1986-87), Alicia Turner (1991-92), Jenny Birkner (1995-96), Denise Boylan (1999-2000), Keara Coughlin (2001-02),

Lauren Brewster, the 2003 NCAA blocking champion, became the first player in program history to be both an athletic and academic All-American, being named to the second team in both cases in 2005.

opponent ace averages in her final three seasons (0.94 per game in 2003; 0.96 in 2004; 0.80 in 2005). As a senior, she took more than half of opposing serves while fielding a 97.4% reception percentage. Henican, a two-time captain who finished her career having played in an Irish-record 363 consecutive games, led Notre Dame to an outstanding 2005 season, which featured a 30-4 record (5-1 vs. top-15 teams) and a No. 5 ranking AVCA polls.

HOME COURT STREAKS – Coming into the 2010 season, Notre Dame is on a nine-match home winning streak. The Irish won 11 of 12 in the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center last season, falling to LSU (Aug. 29) in the third game of the season. In addition to posting some impressive conference winning streaks, Notre Dame has had a variety of dominating runs in the Purcell Pavilion. The Irish have had five home winning streaks of 14 or more matches, highlighted by a school-record stretch of 36 straight home wins from 2000-02 and a 27-match streak from 1993-95. The Irish have had a winning home record in each of the 19 seasons under head coach Debbie Brown and won 74 in-a-row at home against conference foes during regular-season play from 1991-2004. Notre Dame also won 52 straight against unranked teams in the Purcell Pavilion from 1998-2002.

IRISH IN THE PROS – Professional volleyball has been the next step for several Irish volleyball players who have played for current head coach Debbie Brown. Angie (Harris) Akers, a 1998 graduate, remains

GOLDEN DOME – The Main Building, surmounted by a statue of Our Lady atop the world-famous Golden Dome, at one time comprised the entire University infrastructure, and in 1879 was rebuilt in five months after a devastating fire. Its gold leaf exterior is periodically replaced, most recently in 2005. The 12 Columbus murals in the main corridor were painted by Luigi Gregori, an Italian artist who spent 17 years at Notre Dame in the latter part of the 1800s. The building contains the primary administrative offices, including that of Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., who took over in June of 2005 as Notre Dame’s 17th president. The exterior of the building was renovated and cleaned in 1996 and the interior of the building was renovated and reopened in August of 1999, after being closed the previous two academic years.

HENICAN, MEG – One of the top defensive players ever to wear a Notre Dame uniform and the first prolific Irish libero, Meg Henican concluded her career in 2005 holding 22 of the 25 Irish dig records, including every major mark: digs in a match (43), season (628) and career (1,783), and dig average in a season (5.06) and career (4.18). After coming to Notre Dame as a “Fab 50” outside hitter, she played primarily at the libero spot throughout her career, leading the Irish in digs on 69 occasions during her four years and posting double digits in that category a school-record 96 times (she had 20+ digs 29 times). She was an exceptional passer and serve receiver, and was instrumental in Notre Dame posting its three lowest

teammates – who happened to have names like Dolan, Kelly, Glynn, Duffy and Ryan – “What’s the matter with you guys? You’re all Irish and you’re not fighting worth a lick.” Notre Dame came back to win the game and the press, after overhearing the remark, reported the game as a victory for the “Fighting Irish.” The most generally accepted explanation is that the press coined the nickname as a characterization of all Notre Dame athletic teams, their never-say-die fighting spirit and the Irish qualities of grit, determination and tenacity. The term likely began as an abusive expression tauntingly directed toward the athletes from the small, private, Catholic institution. Notre Dame alumnus Francis Wallace popularized it in his New York Daily News columns in the 1920s. The Notre Dame Scholastic, in a 1929 edition, printed its own version of the story: “The term ‘Fighting Irish’ has been applied to Notre Dame teams for years. It first attached itself years ago when the school, comparatively unknown, sent its athletic teams away to play in another city ... At that time the title ‘Fighting Irish’ held no glory or prestige … The years passed swiftly and the school began to take a place in the sports world ... ‘Fighting Irish’ took on a new meaning. The unknown of a few years past has boldly taken a place among the leaders. The unkind appellation became symbolic of the struggle for supremacy of the field ... the term, while given in irony, has become our heritage … So truly does it represent us that we are unwilling to part with it.” Notre Dame competed under the nickname “Catholics” during the 1800s and became more widely known as the “Ramblers” during the early 1920s in the days of the Four Horsemen. University president Rev. Matthew Walsh, C.S.C., officially adopted “Fighting Irish” as the Notre Dame nickname in 1927.

FINAL EIGHT – Led by All-American Christy Peters, Molly Stark and Janelle Karlan, the 1993 Notre Dame volleyball team made its deepest run in the NCAA Championship, reaching the final eight. The 17th-ranked Irish upset No. 8 Nebraska in three games in the opening round (after topping then-No. 3 Nebraska, 3-1, during the regular season). Stark, Peters, and Nicole Coates all notched double-digit kill matches, with Coates hitting a blazing .545. Notre Dame then traveled to Minneapolis, Minn., for a round-of-16 matchup against Minnesota. Facing the Golden Gophers in their home arena the Irish were put to the test, finally winning 15-13 in the fifth game of a thrilling match. Peters led Notre Dame with a stellar 26 kills and 21 digs. Coates, Stark, Jenny Birkner and Julie Harris also had double-digit kills in the win. The Irish faced a familiar foe in the regional finals, as Penn State had knocked Notre Dame out of the NCAA Tournament in 1992. The seventh-ranked Nittany Lions duplicated the feat despite a 14-kill and 19-dig performance from Peters.

GOLD AND BLUE – The origin of Notre Dame’s school colors can be traced back to the founding of the University in 1842. At that time, Notre Dame’s original school colors were yellow and blue; yellow symbolized the light and blue the truth. However, sometime after the Dome and Statue of Mary atop the Main Building was gilded, gold and blue became the official colors of the University.

All About The Irishcontinues with regional action from Dec. 10-13 and concludes with the Final Four Dec. 16-18 at the Spring Center in Kansas City, Mo. Purcell Pavilion Joyce Center has played host to NCAA action on seven occasions, including the first two rounds in 2005.

NORTHEAST REGION – The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has shifted Notre Dame into four different regions (or districts) over the past 20 years. After starting out in the North Central region, the Irish became a member of the Mideast Region (1992-94), then moved to District I (1995-99) before ending up in the Northeast Region in 2000. In all, Irish personnel have earned 56 all-region/district honors, including five coach-of-the-year accolades for Debbie Brown and 43 all-region team selections. Three Notre Dame players – Lauren Kelbley (the 2002 Northeast Region Rookie of the Year), Lauren Brewster, and Adrianna Stasiuk – earned all-Northeast Region honors in 2005. Kelbley was one of just two Division I players in the country to have been an all-region selection each year from 2002-05. Kellie Sciacca was tabbed the region’s top freshman following the 2007 campaign as Andrea McHugh copped the same honor in 2010.

NOTRE DAME FAMILY – For years this term has been used to describe all current and former Notre Dame students, employees and supporters in an attempt to capture the family-like atmosphere of the University.

O’CONNOR AWARD – Justine Stremick (’09) and Megan Fesl (’10) are the first to volleyball recipients of the Francis Patrick O’Connor Award, which honors male and female student-athletes who best display the total embodiment of the true spirit of Notre Dame as exemplified by their contributions and inspirations to their respective teams. To be considered, student-athletes must possess those qualities attributed to Pat O’Connor: caring, courage, confidence, encouragement, humility, honesty, humor, kindness and patience. Since 1993, the University has presented this award in the name of O’Connor, a former student-athlete who died in 1973 following his freshman year at Notre Dame. Pat was the son of William “Bucky” O’Connor, who played guard for the Notre Dame football team in the 1940s.

OLYMPIC TORCH RUN – Irish head coach Debbie Brown took part in the Winter Olympic Torch Relay, carrying the flaming torch in South Bend on Jan 4, 2002. A co-captain of the 1980 U.S. Olympic volleyball team that missed out on the Moscow games due to the United States boycott, Brown also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. National Team during its 1988 Olympic effort. Brown was chosen as a torchbearer due to her embodiment of the inspirational spirit of the Olympics, shown by serving and motivating the community.

PERFECTION – Even as the Irish volleyball team strives for perfection on the court, a number of Notre Dame players have achieved it in the classroom over the last several years. Three 2004 graduates – Kim Fletcher, Kristen Kinder and Katie Neff – combined for seven 4.00 grade point average semesters during their careers, while 2003 graduate Keara Coughlin posted a

LAMBERT, ART – The second of four coaches to lead the Notre Dame volleyball program, Lambert headed the Irish team through its first taste of national prominence (1984-90). Lambert came to Notre Dame from Stanford and had an immediate impact on the Irish program. With a flair for recruiting and an emphasis on developing a national schedule, Lambert guided Notre Dame to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988.

MIKASA AWARD – Irish head coach Debbie Brown won the Mikasa Award as a collegian in 1976 and 1977. She earned the honor, which is presented to the nation’s best all-around player, while helping USC to a combined 72-1 record and two national championships.

MONOGRAM – While other universities have letterwinners, Notre Dame student-athletes earn monograms and take their place in the Notre Dame Monogram Club. A first-year winner receives the monogram ‘ND’ letters. The second year a jacket (or blanket) is awarded, followed by a third-year ring and fourth-year watch.

MONOGRAM CLUB – All former Notre Dame student-athletes who have earned monograms are eligible to become members of the Notre Dame Monogram Club, which provides scholarships and other support to current students and student-athletes. Various volleyball players have held leadership posts in the Monogram Club, including Julie (Pierson) Doyle (earned monograms in 1981 and ’82), who became the organization’s first-ever woman president in 2005. Katie Neff, a 2004 graduate, was elected to the Monogram Club board of directors in 2005 serving until her term ended in 2009.Mallorie Croal was awarded the inaugural Notre Dame Monogram Club post-graduate scholarship in 2008-09.

NCAA BLOCKING CHAMPS – After a series of near misses, Notre Dame claimed its first two NCAA statistical crowns in 2003 by leading all Division I teams in blocking (3.72/set average with second-place Cornell coming in at 3.52), while sophomore Lauren Brewster was tops in individual blocking (1.78/set). The Irish finished fifth in team blocking in 2001 and were second to Nebraska in 2002, while Brewster ended her rookie season fourth in the individual category. Notre Dame broke the single-season blocking average record in 2002 and against in 2003. The previous record stood since 1988. Additionally, no Irish team had ever featured four different players registering 100+ blocks in the same season. Brewster, Katie Neff, Emily Loomis and Lauren Kelbley accomplished the feat in both 2002 and 2003. Each Irish player ranked among the top eight blockers in the BIG EAST Conference in the latter campaign.

NCAA TOURNAMENT – The Irish have made 17 trips to the NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship, and are one of just seven schools to gain invitations in 15 consecutive tournaments from 1992-2006. They have advanced to the round of 16 on six occasions (1988, 1993-95, 1997 and 2005) highlighted by a trip to the national quarterfinals in 1993. This season’s NCAA Tournament begins at campus sites Dec. 2-5,

active on the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) beach tour. The 2002 AVP Rookie of the Year, she finished among the top 20 individuals on tour in each of her first four seasons as a professional (2002 – 20th, 2003 – 17th, 2004 – 13th, 2005 – 14th). Another 1998 graduate, Jaimie Lee, was the 2003 AVP Rookie of the Year, and she finished 32nd in the individual standings in both 2003 and 2005 (and 19th and 18th in team standings, respectively). Twins Kristen and Jessica Kinder, who graduated in 2004, played in one AVP event shortly after leaving Notre Dame and Lauren Brewster reached the semifinals of the 2005 CSTV Beach Nationals, which sent its champion straight to the AVP (2005 grad Lauren Kelbley also took part in the event). The United States Professional Volleyball (USPV) league staged its only season in 2002 with three former Irish players on its rosters: Molly Stark (1994), Denise Boylan (2000) and Kristy Kreher (2002). Stark, a seasoned veteran with eight professional seasons under her belt, played for the St. Louis Quest. Boylan and Kreher suited up for the Minnesota Chill.

IRISH SPIKERS – Irish fans under the age of 14 have the opportunity to join the Irish Spikers, an official club sponsored by the Notre Dame volleyball team. Spikers get to join the team on the court for match introductions, receive an official membership card and t-shirt, gain free admission to all regular-season home matches (with special seating for club members), participate in free volleyball clinics and take part in post-match autograph sessions. All clinics are held immediately after Notre Dame’s home matches. A $15 annual membership fee is required. Contact the Notre Dame Sports Promotions Department at 574.631.9910 for more information.

KANALEY AWARD – The Byron V. Kanaley Award is the most prestigious honor awarded to Notre Dame student-athletes. The award has been presented each year since 1927 to senior monogram winners who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. Eight Irish volleyball players have earned the award: Terese Henken (1984), Alicia Turner (1993), Julie Harris (1994), Jaimie Lee (1998), Keara Coughlin (2003), Kristen Kinder (2004), Emily Loomis (2005) and Adrianna Stasiuk (2008).

2000-03, serving as co-captains in 2003. They became just the third set of twin sisters to earn monograms in the same sport at Notre Dame. Megan Fesl battled her sister, Annie (a setter at Cincinnati), twice during the 2007 season with the Irish coming out on top of each contest. Rich Fesl, Megan and Annie’s father, sang the national anthem before the home contest between the Irish and Bearcats that season.

STASIUK, ADRIANNA – One of the best all-around and versatile players in Irish history, Adrianna Stasiuk was named an honorable mention All-American in 2005, the same season in which she won the BIG EAST Conference Tournament Most Oustanding Player. She was one of two players in Irish history to be named CVU.com’s National Player of the Week, picking up the honor in 2005 just one week after teammate Lauren Brewster earned the title. With a powerful jump serve and explosive power around the net, Stasiuk was a three-time all-league choice and was twice named to the all-district academic team. She became only the seventh Notre Dame player ever to register 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a career and was the first to ever pace the team in 10 major statistical categories when she did so in 2007: attacks (1,012), kills (361), kills/set (3.28), aces (33), aces/set (.300), digs (3.77), digs/set (3.43), points (425.5), receptions (1,146) and receiving percentage (.976). Her 62 career double-doubles ranks second all-time and she is third all-time in digs (with the second-highest total of any non-libero).

T.V. STARS – Notre Dame volleyball is in the midst of a stretch of unparalleled television exposure. After having been televised only sporadically during the 80’s and 90’s, the Irish have appeared in 21 televised matches over the past six campaigns and are one of just 10 schools to featured in CBS College Sports

football pep rally for Notre Dame’s game with Boston College and drew 3,351 fans. A 2003 match that pitted (then) conference foes Notre Dame and Virginia Tech prior to the Navy pep rally ended in a five-game decision that favored the Irish. In fact, former Notre Dame assistant coach Greg Smith was the Hokies’ head coach at the time while shouldering the defeat in front of a school-record crowd of 8,643. In 2004, a showdown between the two defending BIG EAST co-champions Notre Dame and Pittsburgh ended in a three-set sweep in favor of the Irish before a crowd of 4,773. Notre Dame and Pittsburgh battled each other in football on the following day. The Irish dominated USF in the first-ever meeting between the two schools in front of a crowd of 5,541 in 2005.

PURCELL PAVILION AT THE JOYCE CENTER – Notre Dame’s double-domed home for volleyball, basketball, hockey and other sports was named the Edmund P. Joyce Athletic and Convocation Center (now the Joyce Center) by vote of the Board of Trustees in May of 1987. Father Joyce, former executive vice president and chairman of the Faculty Board on Athletics, retired in 1987 following 35 years in that position. He passed away on May 2, 2004. Father Joyce was an active voice in the NCAA while pushing for higher standards and greater integrity in the intercollegiate arena. The Joyce Center, which houses Notre Dame’s athletics offices, opened in the fall of 1968. The south dome was renovated prior to the 2009 season and is now tabbed the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center.

SISTERS – Notre Dame has had two sets of sisters play on its volleyball team. Maureen (1980-82) and Kathleen (1984-86) Morin were the first, helping to shape the program in its infancy. More recently, twins Jessica and Kristen Kinder played for the Irish from

4.000 in the fall of her final year. Fletcher finished her collegiate days with four consecutive 4.00 GPAs, while Kinder notched two perfect semesters during her time at Notre Dame. Leah Nedderman turned in a 4.00 in her final collegiate semester before graduating in 2005, and Justine Stremick accomplished the feat in the spring of 2008.

PETERS, CHRISTY – One of the top volleyball players ever to don a Notre Dame uniform, Peters became the first Irish All-American in 1993 then repeated the feat in 1994 with another third-team selection. Peters – the only player in program history to register 1,500 kills and 1,500 digs – still ranks first in the Irish career record books in a number of categories including kills (1,683), matches with team-high kills (70), 20-plus kill matches (19), double-doubles (64), digs (1,640) and dig average (3.72) by a non-libero.

PRE-PEP RALLY PERFORMANCES – Over the past several seasons, the Notre Dame volleyball program has developed a tradition of playing before the highly-attended football pep rallies held in Purcell Pavilion on Friday evenings before home games. Notre Dame is one of few schools in the country to host football pep rallies for every home game, and the Irish volleyball team has played before various record-setting crowds just hours before the event, giving it virtually unparalleled exposure. Most recently, 7,523 fans witnessed an Irish win over Cincinnati in 2007. During the 2000 season, Notre Dame played host to Nebraska in volleyball prior to the pep rally in anticipation of the meeting between the two schools on the gridiron. More than 3,000 fans jammed the Purcell Pavilion for the volleyball match and then remained in their seats for the football pep rally. In 2002, Notre Dame entertained Providence before the

MEG HENICAN LOCKER ROOM – The Irish volleyball team received a facility facelift with the opening of the Meg Henican Locker Room located in the Joyce Center in the summer of 2005. Among the highlights are 17 spacious wooden player lockers, team lounge with wrap-around couches, big-screen television, state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment. The locker room also features multiple dry-erase boards for strategy sessions and a team computer with a sound system that pumps music throughout the three areas. The facility is decorated with action photos and graphics on the lockers and walls, including a volleyball version of the famed “Play Like a Champion Today” sign. The locker room was made possible by the generosity of Marge and Joe Henican, whose daughter Meg (2002-05) was a standout libero for the Irish.

WEB SITE – Notre Dame athletics maintains its presence in cyberspace with its own internet site, UND.com, operated in conjunction with CBS College Sports based in Carlsbad, Calif. The site features media guide material, frequent press releases, match and statistical information, links to live broadcasts and live “in-match” statistics and pictures of all 26 of Notre Dame’s varsity teams. In September of 2002, the site became the first in CBS College Sports history to attract more than five million page views in a month. It then plowed over six million hits in November 2003 and hit the seven million mark in a month for the first time in September 2004. From July 2006-June 2007, over 48.6 million visitors browsed UND.com, an average of over four million per month. A record 7.9 million visitors hit UND.com in September of 2006, the highest mark in the site’s history.

was an All-American in 2006 after tying for eighth in the NCAA meet, as well as a four-time all-BIG EAST selection and the 2003 outdoor high jump champion.

VANSLAGER, SANDY – The first of four coaches to lead the Notre Dame volleyball program, Vanslager administered the transition from club to varsity status and the jump from Division II to Division I during her tenure (1980-83). Vanslager’s best season came in the Notre Dame’s first year as a Division I affiliate, when the Irish won 15 of their final 17 matches to finish 25-9 in 1982.

VICTORY MARCH – The most recognizable collegiate fight song in the nation, the “Notre Dame Victory March” was written in the early 1900s by two brothers who were University of Notre Dame graduates. Michael Shea, a 1905 graduate, composed the music while his brother, John Shea, who earned degrees in 1906 and 1908, provided the corresponding lyrics. The song was copyrighted in 1908 and a piano version, complete with lyrics, was published that year. Michael, who became a priest in Ossining, N.Y., collaborated on the project with John, who lived in Holyoke, Mass.. The song’s public debut came in the winter of 1908 when Michael played it on the organ of the Second Congregational Church in Holyoke. The “Notre Dame Victory March” was later presented by the Shea brothers to the University, and it first appeared under the copyright of the University of Notre Dame in 1928. The copyright for the beginning of the song is still in effect. The more well-known second verse, which begins with the words “Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame,” is now in the public domain in the United States (for both the music and lyrics) – but the second verse remains protected in all territories outside of the country. Notre Dame’s fight song first was performed at Notre Dame on Easter Sunday in 1909 in the rotunda of the Main Building. The Notre Dame band performed the Victory March as part of its traditional Easter morning concert. It was first heard at a Notre Dame athletic event 10 years later. In 1969, as college football celebrated its centennial anniversary, the “Notre Dame Victory March” was honored as the “greatest of all fight songs.” Michael Shea was pastor of St. Augustine’s Church in Ossining until his death in 1938. John Shea, a baseball monogram winner at Notre Dame, became a Massachusetts state senator and lived in Holyoke until his death in 1965.

The original lyrics (below), written when all athletes at Notre Dame were male, refer to “sons,” but in recognition of the fact that the Victory March is now played for athletic teams composed of men and women, many modify the words accordingly. The “Victory March” earned a number-one ranking in ratings compiled a 1998 book titled, “College Fight Songs: An Annotated Anthology.” The “Victory March” was also the No. 1-ranked fight song in a survey in 1990 by Bill Studwell, a librarian at Northern Illinois University.

Television’s (CSTV) Sunday Night Spikes national match-of-the-week series in each of its three years of existence. Notre Dame beat then league-rival Miami in three games in front of a crowd of 2,715 in the Joyce Center late in 2003 CSTV’s initial year of broadcasting college volleyball. The Irish were then televised three times in just over a month in 2004, dropping road matches against South Carolina (CSTV), Michigan (Comcast) and Brigham Young (BYU Television). The 2005 campaign continued this trend, as the Irish were televised a record four times, beating No. 11 Texas (CSTV) and Cincinnati (ESPNU) in the regular season, then prevailing at No. 7 Louisville in the final of the BIG EAST tournament (CSTV) and falling in five games to eventual NCAA semifinalist Tennessee (Comcast) to end the regular season.

On Senior Day in 2007, the final home contest for Adrianna Stasiuk and Ashley Tarutis, Notre Dame downed No. 17 Louisville on ESPNU to spoil the Cardinals’ perfect regular-season record. The 2009 season saw Notre Dame play two televised games: Louisville (Oct.11) on ESPNU and Marquette (Nov. 6) on a local Milwaukee station.

TWO-SPORT STANDOUT – Emily Loomis (2001-04) holds the distinction of being the only Notre Dame student-athlete to earn all-BIG EAST or All-America honors in two distinctly different sports. As a volleyball player, she was a four-year starter and three-time all-league honoree (first team in 2002, second team in 2003, honorable mention in 2004), while being honorable mention All-America in 2003. As a high jumper for the Irish track and field team, she

Angie (Harris) Akers, a 1998 Notre Dame graduate, was the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) Rookie of the Year in 2002 and finished among the tour’s top 20 players in her first four pro seasons.

Season Outlook

“The freshmen coming in add tremendous balance to this roster,” Brown says. “They all bring a high level of volleyball to the court and they’re able to push everyone each day in practice.

“You’ll see a tremendous amount of improvement in this team from the opening to closing days of the regular season, and once it hits its peak we hope to keep rolling.”

Brown calls the improvement of the sophomore class “substantial” since 2010 while noting a large part of that progress was the individual commitment it showed to better its skills on the court while progressing in the weight room.

“When we had a six-person senior class in 2009, we didn’t have to do much teaching in terms of our system, as they were familiar with those things,” Brown says. “It was nice to walk into the gym knowing you had a team with that kind of a core, and that’s what we’re seeing in the team right now.”

Notre Dame got back to basics last season while grooming the then-freshmen class, and in doing so, sharpened the skills of its upperclassmen. That included this year’s senior co-captains in Frenchy Silva and Kristen Dealy, two of the league’s most experienced players in terms of playing time.

“Frenchy and Kristen both lead in different ways,” Brown says. “They can assist and feed off of each other, and both are respected by their teammates and the coaching staff. They set an incredible example and are very dedicated to this team. I really trust them and their leadership.”

That trust embedded in the co-captains has also been bestowed upon a pair of floor captains in sophomores Sammie Brown and Maggie Brindock. Not once in Debbie Brown’s 21 seasons at the helm of the program have the two lone setters on the roster been in the same academic class. Often times the setters are staggered by class, giving way for the elder to groom the apprentice.

“The staff has taken more of a mentoring role with the setters, which is not a bad thing,” Brown says. “We’ve spent more time with them than we have with previous setters to make sure they understand the concepts of the program. As incoming freshmen, they were in a tough situation having to be a vocal and confidant presence on the court. Both of them were up to the task during their first go-around, and we expect them to be even better this year.

“I give both Maggie and Sammie so much credit, as neither had someone they could look up to and learn from by example. I give a lot of credit to them for the level at which they have their game right now in terms of understanding offensive strategies and team strengths. They will continue to compete with each other while supporting each other the whole way.”

Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference prior to the 1995 season and proceeded to win four straight league tournament titles. Five more crowns would follow.

Since it last hoisted the hardware in 2005, Notre Dame has been unsuccessful in claiming the conference title in each of the last four seasons, the longest stretch in program history.

But that could all come to a screeching halt in 2011 for an Irish squad picked second in the BIG EAST preseason coaches poll behind defending champion Louisville.

“We have a great nucleus returning from last year with great experience to boot,” Irish head coach Debbie Brown says. “Even though we reloaded the roster with a six-person freshmen class last season, they all played and made significant contributions. That will be a key factor in our success this year. We may be bottom-heavy in terms of players, but we’ve got the talent to get us back to where we want to be.”

Yes, the Irish want to be back on top of the BIG EAST, and yes, the Irish want to become a player on the national scene. Having missed out on the NCAA Tournament in 2010 with a squad that had to deal with the loss of six graduating seniors – including three All-American honorees – from 2009, the balance of experience, depth and youth provides plenty of smiles under the Irish eyes.

Both Brindock and Brown are very accomplished, yet different in their strengths. And when you look at the players to which they’ll be dishing the rock, the same could be said as well.

Patrolling the pipes will be returning starters Andrea McHugh, who was named BIG EAST and AVCA Northeast Region Freshman of the Year in 2010, and a three-time BIG EAST all-Tournament Team honoree in Dealy. Both of those dominant sluggers are money in the bank from the right side, and may share those duties with newcomers Meg Vonderhaar, Toni Alugbue and Jeni Houser. Even more, junior Marie Roof and sophomore Nicole Smith have shown they’re capable of putting up big numbers when called up.

“We basically have seven players that could play on the left or right side for us depending on how things shake out,” Brown says. “Andrea had a great freshman season and those numbers speak for themselves. Kristen has battled some injuries but is capable of taking over a match when the occasion calls for such. With so many options and so many athletes at the outside, this offense will be fun to watch.”

There is plenty of flexibility in the middle with junior Hilary Eppink and sophomores Andie Olsen and Sam Brown. Alugbue and Houser make for an interchangeable mix of five players who will vie for time in the heart of the court.

“Hilary played a lot of rightside and we’ve got the liberty to move many of our players around as needed,” says Brown. “All of our middles can hit a high ball, a quick set and a number of shots. We’re extremely versatile in that spot considering the

Puzzle Pieces In Place for Postseason RunCombination of talent and experience bodes well for Notre Dame in 2011.

Senior co-captain Frenchy Silva not only benefits the Irish squad with her outstanding play and hustle, but also with her spirit and energy on the court.

A veteran on the hardwood, four-year starter Kristen Dealy knows what it takes to get the Irish to the BIG EAST Tournament finals and the NCAA Tournament.

11-16Preview.indd 12 8/25/11 4:40 PM

blocking schemes and systems we use. Three of the five have significant time in that role which will help us a lot.”

A proven winner and competitor, Silva will be accompanied in the back row by freshman Kathleen Severyn. Silva, who gained national exposure by playing with the U.S. A2 program this past summer, has been a cog in her role as libero and defensive specialist since joining the Irish squad in 2008.

“Frenchy and Kathleen have both done a great job in practice, and it’s nice having someone of their caliber on each side of the net when we’re scrimmaging. They bring consistent passing skills and a spark on defense. Both do a great job of reading the court and taking charge of things. Kathleen has fit in nicely and she’s been able to step right in and not miss a beat.”

That beat will take its tune Aug. 26 when Notre Dame starts off the season by playing host to Eastern Michigan, Idaho and Butler during its annual home-opening Shamrock Invitational.

Butler is one of seven teams from the 2010 NCAA Tournament that litter this season’s schedule, including Louisville, Cincinnati, Hawaii, Dayton, Lipscomb and national quarterfinalist Stanford.

The first of two westward trips comes one week later at the Stanford Invitational (Sept. 2-3), where the Irish are slated to face the host Cardinal and St. Mary’s.

A second home tournament, the Golden Dome Invitational, will see Lipscomb, Portland and Valparaiso hit Notre Dame’s home floor from Sept. 9-11.

Before starting league play the Irish will travel to Wisconsin for the InnTower Invitational (Sept. 16-17) while facing the Badgers and Western Michigan.

Four straight home league matches features a lineup of Georgetown (Sept. 24), Villanova (Sept. 25), Cincinnati (Oct. 1) and defending BIG EAST Conference Tournament champions Louisville (Oct. 2).

That stretch comes before a five-match roadswing capped off with a double dip at Hawaii (Oct. 17-18).

“The opportunity to play at Hawaii is one you don’t want to pass up, because they’re always a very strong team,” Brown says. “Especially in the midseason, it’s important to take advantage of those opportunities. Not only is the team very good but also the environment is one of the best in the nation. It’s a fan base that really appreciates volleyball and good play. It’s not always necessarily hostile, as good play from both teams will be applauded. It’s a great experience to play in front of that many people and at that level of volleyball.

“Fall break is a good time for us to get away and spend some extended time together. It will be a trip that pulls the team together and makes us stronger. In every aspect, it will be a great opportunity for us. To be on the islands, see the sights and enjoy the beauty will be a welcomed opportunity.”

The Irish will also play home matches against USF (Oct. 23), Seton Hall (Nov. 5) and Rutgers (Nov. 6).

The 2011 BIG EAST Tournament (Nov. 18-20) is set to take place in Milwaukee, Wis., on Marquette’s home floor.

“I really think the conference is definitely moving in the right direction,” says Brown. “The more competitive it becomes, the better it is for all of us. We are getting in a position where we could have as many as four or five teams in the tournament each year. The non-conference scheduling is an aspect of that, so when conference season comes around the teams are battling really well against each other. It will be a tough conference to go through the season undefeated because of the top-to-bottom strength.”

Sandwiched between the BIG EAST and NCAA tournaments will be a Nov. 25 meeting at Dayton.

San Antonio’s Alamodome will be the final destination for the NCAA Championship (Dec. 15-17). Opening rounds of the tournament will be played at campus sites and predetermined regional institutions.

Getting through what is always one of the most competitive and ambitious schedules in the nation will rely not only heavily on the players, it will also hinge on the cohesiveness of a revamped Irish staff.

Brown promoted Robin Davis to associate head coach while adding Christy Pfeffenberger as an assistant coach to replace a departing Matt Botsford.

“I’m really looking forward to working with this staff,” says Brown. “In the short time we’ve had to prepare together, we’re working together very well. I’ve known Robin for a number of years and that stability is really important for the players as they know there is strong continuity in the staff.

“Christy is exactly what we needed in terms of someone who has a tremendous passion for the game. She was a strong defensive player in college and still has that defensive mindset. Christy can give everyone tremendous insight in how to take advantage of what the defense gives you.”

Solidifying the staff is the promotion of Alisha Ewing to operations specialist.

“Having Alisha on staff as a full-time employee is huge,” Brown says. “She’s been our primary go-to when it comes to film, camps, practices and travel. She allows us to coach more, and she was very deserving of her promotion.”

The pieces are all in place. Now it’s time to put the puzzle together.

Sophomore Maggie Brindock will share setting duties with classmate Sammie Brown throughout the 2011 season.

Junior Hilary Eppink continues to emerge as a significant contributor and is one of the most talented frontrow players in the BIG EAST Conference.

Now in her 21st season at Notre Dame, head coach Debbie Brown has her team in a great position to contend for the 2011 BIG EAST title.

Q&A with Debbie BrownWhat does being a coach at Notre Dame

mean to you?In coaching at Notre Dame, the number one priority

for me is to offer a great experience to our student-athletes.

That certainly is going to include winning and doing well on the court, as well as in the classroom. We want to be a nationally competitive program, and that is certainly the core of my philosophy. I need to be sensitive to the academic demands here at the University. That being said, we’re confident that our student-athletes are going to be prepared for anything beyond college, have great job offers or multiple choices for graduate school. I want them to be able to look back on their time here and say, “that was a great experience.”

Notre Dame offers so much in terms of campus life, spirituality, academic excellence and athletic traditions. It’s truly a blessing to be able to work here and to be able to offer a great experience to our student-athletes.

You’ve taken your teams to foreign countries and dozens of states. At each stop, you make it a point to visit a hospital, take in a Broadway show or attend a local sporting event, just to name a few activities. Why is this important to you?

Taking in the culture of an area and experiencing everything it has to offer has always been something very important to me. Part of that stems from the fact that when I was younger, volleyball afforded me to travel the world as a player and see things not everyone has a chance to see.

However, we didn’t always have the opportunity to take in the sights and learn as much about them as I had wished. I understood that at times it was not possible given the nature of our trips, but you lose so much if you don’t try to take advantage of those things. It’s all part of the education. Now, every time we travel we look for opportunities to do those things and expose our program to what the world has to offer. Even something like avoiding chain restaurants and eating at local spots are all a part of experiencing new things. But we never let the extracurricular activities take away from the competition aspect of the trip.

What were some of your first impressions of Notre Dame, and how have you changed since arriving on campus?

When I had the opportunity to come here and interview for the head coaching job, I didn’t know much about the University. I tried to learn as much as I could before the interview, as I only knew that Notre Dame had a great reputation across the country with a lot of tradition. I knew that it’d be a place where you could build a nationally competitive program. Everything I

saw and experienced when I came on my interview led me to believe that was true. And everyday I’ve been here, that’s been one of the constants.

I’m truly blessed to be here, and believe so much in all that Notre Dame has to offer. I believe that the spirituality of Notre Dame is a really important thing. I love being at a faith-based institution and love that we strive for excellence here. That’s a life lesson for the student-athletes we get to work with each day.

But the most important thing – and this stuck with me when I left from my interview – was how impressed I was with the people at Notre Dame. I still truly believe that it’s the people that make Notre Dame so special. The people care about each other; they’re selfless and they live the Christian life everyday. That is an environment I want to be a part of.

It wasn’t like I was planning on coaching here for a few years with the intent of going somewhere else. On my first visit, I watched a men’s basketball game between two great teams in Notre Dame and Indiana and two great coaches in Digger Phelps and Bobby Knight. The energy in the Joyce Center was simply amazing. It was such a great atmosphere. There is a tremendous amount of energy here at Notre Dame in everything the University does.

What is Debbie Brown like off the court?I love to read. I love crossword puzzles – and oddly

enough, my teenage sons make fun of me all the time for that. I love being outside, no matter what I’m doing. I don’t do it enough, but I love to walk across campus on a nice day. I enjoy being active and exercising. I love riding bikes, skateboarding, being adventurous and I love eating ice cream.

Almost more than anything, I love to compete. Whether it’s playing spoons, cards or board games, I have a lot of fun but I really want to win. Not always at any costs, but I do enjoy winning. I’ve always been like that. My siblings tell stories – that aren’t at all flattering – about when we’d play when we were younger. If I lost, things would fly across the room.

What are some things you have in common with your players?

It’s been great to see Andrea McHugh experience international play with the U.S. Junior National Team.

As a former player within the U.S. program, I can certainly relate to that and we’ve shared similar stories about our experiences.

Andrea was able to play volleyball throughout this past spring and summer in an environment where she was pushed everyday by some of the best players in her age group. After her team returned from its competition in Peru, we were able to chat about the Peruvian culture. I had a particular trip with the national team when we went to Peru, which was memorable for us because of the number of unique things that happened.

The Peruvians love volleyball, and they come out in hoards for each match. It’s an incredibly loud atmosphere and at times, you can’t even hear your teammates next to you on the court.

Over 30 years ago when I was there, we were playing in a packed gym among a very passionate crowd. And suddenly, there was a complete blackout in the gym – no electricity or sign of light anywhere. It was really scary because you didn’t know what was going to happen next. And 30 years later, the exact same thing happened to Andrea and her team. We had a good laugh about that one.

Growing up in the same area and attending the same high school as Toni Alugbue, we talked about our days in El Segundo (Calif.) at a team dinner. Jokingly, I asked if we had any of the same teachers. And what would you know – she knew my history teacher! She didn’t mention who was the better student, Toni or myself, but I’m pretty sure it’d be Toni.

How has the game of volleyball changed over the years? What changes might be in store?

The game has evolved a great deal from when I played. The main thing is the height at which the game is played above the net. The athletes today are bigger, faster and stronger. The power of the game is different now than before. That has created different angles and strategies.

We did not play with a libero and substitutions were very limited at the international level. Because of that, players were more well-rounded in their skills. You had to be good in the front and back rows.

A lot of things from the men’s game have trickled down from the women’s game, with the exception of hitting on the slide. There’s not as much of that in the

men’s game, but the women have adopted things like jump serving and hitting from the back row.

The scoring system has changed from the side-out to rally format. The point-per-serve

has helped the game become more fan-friendly. You may continue to see changes in the rules pertaining to the number of permitted substitutes.

You’ll see some more tweaking of the rules, but I don’t believe anything as radical as rally scoring will ever be implemented into the

college game.

Irish head coach Debbie Brown has shelved over 400 wins with Notre Dame and won six BIG EAST Conference Coach of the Year awards since joining the league in 1995. The 2011 season is her 21st at the helm of the Fighting Irish program.

33-40CoachingStaff.indd 33 8/25/11 4:42 PM


Brown was recognized as the 2005 BIG EAST Volleyball Coach of the Year - the league’s first five-time winner of the award - and named the top coach in the AVCA’s Northeast Region while becoming a finalist for the AVCA’s national award.

She has helped Notre Dame to a variety of dominating performances, including a 199-25 (.888) record in regular season action against conference teams (27-0 vs. Midwestern Collegiate Conference, 162-21 vs. BIG EAST Conference). That includes a 107-8 (.930) record at home and, at one point, a 79-match winning streak against conference foes (regular season and postseason) that ranks as the third-longest conference winning streak in Division I volley-ball history (AIAW or NCAA). The longest losing streak suffered by any Irish squad under Brown stands at four matches, which happened only twice over the past 19 seasons.

Overall, the Irish are 228-49 (.823) in the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center under Brown, including winning streaks of 36 and 27 matches. Against unranked teams at home, Notre Dame holds a 213-22 (.906) record in the Brown era. Since becoming a member of the BIG EAST Conference in 1995, Notre Dame has opened league play with an 11-0 run in all but five seasons (with 11+ matches on the league schedule), going on to win 11 regular-season titles and nine tournament championships. The Irish have won 45 team BIG EAST statistical crowns, as well as 27 individual statistical cham-pionships. The league’s player of the year has been from Notre Dame six times, while Irish student-athletes have garnered 56 all-confer-ence accolades, including 30 first-team honors.

Brown has seen her Irish players gain All-America accolades on 16 occasions, with Brewster becoming the first Notre Dame player to be selected as an AVCA All-American (third team in 2004 and second team in 2005). In 2009, two of Brown’s players were named All-Americans. Serinity Phillips was named a third

Debbie Brown is one of only a handful of coaches in the volleyball ranks that has been able to parlay a dominating playing career with an equally impressive coaching resume.

A two-time winner of the Mikasa Award as college volleyball’s best all-around player, Brown notched her 500th career win as a head coach during the 2006 campaign, and her 580 win total ranks her 20th in that category among active coaches. In fact, only three active coaches have more wins in as many seasons than the co-captain of the 1980 United States Olympic team.

While her credentials are virtually unmatched among collegiate coaches and play-ers across the country, Brown - who signed a multi-year contract extension in the summer of 2006 - has turned into one of the nation’s elite mentors, leading her teams to 24 consecutive winning seasons, 13 finishes in the top 25 of the AVCA national rankings and 21 invitations to the NCAA Championship (including a streak of 15 consecutive bids from 1992-2006).

Now in her 21st season at Notre Dame and 27th overall as a collegiate head coach, Brown has compiled a 580-266 (.686) career record including a 463-183 (.717) mark with the Irish. Her squads have made the round of

16 in the NCAA Championship six times, highlighted by a trip to the 1993 quarterfinals.

Fifteen regular-season conference champion-ships and 13 league tournament titles are among the accomplishments of Brown-led teams, which have won 20 or more matches 17 times in the last 24 seasons.

When taking over the reigns at Notre Dame, Brown inherited a program that had just five winning seasons in its first 11 years of varsity volleyball action but has since turned it into a perennial BIG EAST Conference powerhouse. Nine of her teams have been ranked in the AVCA’s final poll. During regular season play, the Irish have cracked the top 10 in consecutive campaigns under Brown, while peaking at an all-time best fifth in 1995 and sixth in 1996 in the Volleyball Magazine rankings. In 2005, her squad achieved its highest ever listing in the AVCA poll, moving up to fifth after entering the season unranked (it was the first time any school had ever cracked the AVCA top five after being unranked in the preseason).

That same 2005 version of the Irish put together one of the best campaigns in program history by posting the school’s first 30-win sea-son since 1994. All four of the team’s defeats came in five-set matches. Notre Dame went 5-1 against top-15 teams and earned an all-time Irish high No. 6 seed in the NCAA Championship. Notre Dame played host to the first two rounds and advanced to the round of 16 for the first time since 1997 before falling in five sets to Wisconsin. The Irish - which rattled off a 15-match winning streak and spent a program-record 11 weeks in the AVCA’s top 10 - went 13-1 while winning their 10th regular season BIG EAST Championship in 11 years of league mem-bership. In a clash between two top-10 teams, Notre Dame handed Louisville a five-set defeat in the conference tournament finale to give Brown her ninth BIG EAST Tournament title.

The 2005 squad also featured the first player in program history - 2006 graduate Lauren Brewster - to earn both athletic and academic All-American accolades.

team All-American while Christina Kaelin and Jamel Nicholas earned honorable mention acco-lades.

Additionally, Brown’s players have earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America hon-ors three times, while they have won the confer-ence player-of-the-year award nine times and been named the top player in the league tour-nament on 12 occasions. In all, Brown-era Irish players have combined for 68 all-conference honors, including 38 first-team selections. Also, Notre Dame student-athletes have garnered all-region or all-district recognition from the AVCA 47 times since Brown’s arrival.

Under her tutelage, Irish student-athletes have earned three invitations to join the U.S. National Team program and have made four trips to the U.S. Olympic Festival.

Brown has turned Notre Dame into one of the popular choices for top recruits in the coun-try. Since Volleyball Magazine began compiling

its “Fab 50” list in 1990, 30 honorees have joined the Irish program, which ranks tied for 14th among national programs. In the seven years that Volleyball Magazine has ranked incoming recruiting classes, the Irish have been men-tioned eight times, including the third-best squad in 2006, fifth in 2002 and ninth in 2000. PrepVolleyball.com recognized the 2006 incom-ing class fifth in the nation while the 2008, 2010 and 2011 classes copped top-20 honors.

Since the NCAA began keeping official national statistics in 1994, Brown’s Irish teams have been mentioned in the final listings 20 times and individuals have made 17 cameos. Among the 22 combined top-15 finishes were Notre Dame’s first two national statistical crowns which both came in 2003. The Irish led Division I with a team blocking average of 3.72/set (Cornell was second with 3.52), while Brewster was tops in individual blocking with a 1.78/set mark.

beach. Akers - who finished in the top 20 of the AVP standings in her first four seasons on tour - was the 2002 AVP Rookie of the Year, an honor Lee earned one year later. Three former Notre Dame competitors were active in the United States Professional Volleyball league in 2002 - Boylan and Kreher were members of the Minnesota Chill and Molly Stark played for the St. Louis Quest.

Seven of Brown’s former Irish assistants have gone on to become head coaches: Robin Davis (Boise State), Andria Harshmann (Grace College) Devin Scruggs (Nevada), Steve Schlick (Cal Poly), Sue Woodstra (Pittsburgh, California, Humboldt State), Leah Johnson (SIU-Edwardsville) and 2004 AVCA National Coach of the Year Jim McLaughlin (Washington) who led the Huskies to the 2005 NCAA title.

Brown also coached several premier players at Arizona State, including three-time Olympian Tammy (Webb) Liebl (1988-96) and All-Americans Christy Nore and Regina Stahl. The Sun Devils were ranked among the top pro-grams in the nation for six seasons, and in 1986 Brown led the Sun Devils to a 27-7 record and was named Pacific- 10 Conference Coach of the Year. She compiled a 117-83 record en route to five NCAA Tournament berths while at Arizona State.

After serving as a program consultant since 1986, Brown took a leave of absence in 1988 to serve as an assistant coach for the United States National Team before accepting a full-time national team position in 1989. Brown’s duties centered on helping improve the national team’s defense and her efforts played a role in a United States bronze medal finish at the 1990 World Championship in China. She also coached national teams in the 1985 and 1991 Olympic Festivals.

Since picking up the sport late in her high school days, Brown has become one of the most respected and accomplished individuals in all of

The Irish record books have steadily been under construction since Brown stepped on campus, as all-time best marks in over 120 team and individual categories have been eclipsed. A testament to her recruiting and coaching prow-ess is the fact that nearly all of the top players in the Notre Dame career record book have played for Brown. That group includes 13 of the 16 players to have registered 1,000 career kills, all six who notched both 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs, the top eight competitors on the career hitting percentage list, six of the top seven on both the assists and service aces lists, and each of the top 10 student-athletes in career digs.

Christy Peters, one of the top players in Irish volleyball history, played at Notre Dame during Brown’s first four seasons and was tabbed a third team All-American in both 1993 and 1994. She still stands as the program’s career leader in kills (1,683) and her digs mark stood 11 years before broken by 2006 graduate Meg Henican, who ended her career with 22 of the 25 Irish dig records from the libero position. Among the other standouts coached by Brown have been Jessica Fiebelkorn (1992), two-time BIG EAST Player-of-the-Year Jaimie Lee (1997), Denise Boylan (2000), Kristen Kinder (2003), Emily Loomis (2003), Lauren Kelbley (2003-05), and Adrianna Stasiuk (2005) - all of whom have earned honorable mention All-America status. Lee and Boylan were invited to train with the United States National Team program during the summer of 1998, while the former earned a spot on the 1997 World University Games team. Kristy Kreher (1998-2001) also was one of just 20 players named to the USA Junior National Team in 2000.

Seven of Brown’s former Irish players have gone on to play professionally. Angie (Harris) Akers is currently active in the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), while Lee com-peted in the league until 2005. Jessica and Kristen Kinder (2004) also played briefly on the

volleyball. She grew up in the Los Angeles sub-urb of El Segundo and became one of the nation’s top prep players. She competed as a 17-year old for the United States at the 1974 World Championship in Mexico City and a year later played on the adidas team that won the USVBA title.

After graduating from El Segundo High School, she captained the University of Southern California to a 72-1 two-year record and national titles in both 1976 and 1977, including a 38-0 run in 1977 that, until 1998, was the only unbeaten season in Division I women’s volley-ball history. Her 1977 squad is still considered one of the all-time greatest at any level of vol-leyball. Brown (then Debbie Landreth) twice was named a collegiate All-American and received the Mikasa Award as the “nation’s best all-around player” in 1976 and 1977.

USC paid tribute to Brown during the 2008 season by naming her a program “All-Time Great”, an honor shared with Trojan teammate Sue Woodstra. A permanent banner with Brown’s name and jersey number now hangs from the rafters of USC’s Galen Center.

The 5-foot-8 outside hitter left USC prior to her junior year, accepting an invitation to train full-time with the U.S. National Team. She co- captained the team to a fifth-place finish at the 1978 World Championships. A year later, she and her teammates - including all-time greats Debbie Green, Flo Hyman, Rita Crockett and Woodstra - qualified for the Olympics in Moscow and were considered serious medal contenders before the United States elected to boycott the games. Four of Brown’s former United States teammates went on to become college head coaches, while Debbie Green served as an assis-tant at Long Beach State for over 20 seasons, and Diane (McCormick) French helped direct the U.S. squad to a silver medal at the 2008 Olympics.

After serving as co-captain of the 1980 Olympic team, Brown completed her degree in physical education at Arizona State in 1982. As an undergraduate she began her coaching career as an assistant under Dale Flickinger at Arizona State, filling that role from 1980-82 before serving in the same capacity at Central Arizona College during the 1982 season. She returned to Arizona State as head coach in 1983.

Her international experience and travels has afforded her the opportunity to coach and play in 22 countries across the world. In honor of her work, Brown was selected as an Olympic Torchbearer for the 2002 Winter Olympic Torch Relay when it traveled through the Northern Indiana area.

In May of 1995, USA Volleyball named Brown an “All-Time Great Volleyball Player,” the highest honor given by the organization. Brown and fellow honoree Karch Kiraly, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and beach volleyball legend, were recognized at the U.S. Open Championships in Springfield, Mass., and had their photos and records added to the Volleyball

Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass. Established in 1954, the “All-Time Great” designation honors players with Olympic, national team or All-America honors, U.S. Open Championships, and overall dominance during a particular era. Among the 51 previous winners before Brown were Hyman, Woodstra, Green, Crockett, and Laurel Brassey - all former teammates.

Brown earned USVBA All-America honors eight times and won the USVBA’s Kilgore Sportsmanship Award in 1983. A six-time USVBA first team All-American, Brown was a member of the USVBA Board of Directors and the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Athlete Advisory Council. She served a two-year term (1995-96) as president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association and was a member of its All-America selection committee.

In 2003, Brown was recognized for her out-standing career by the NCAA with the Silver Anniversary Award, which annually recognizes six distinguished student-athletes for accom-plishments since concluding their collegiate playing days 25 years earlier.

Brown played for the 1975, 1985 and 1986 USVBA national championship teams. In 1992, she joined several of her former Olympic squad teammates to capture the USVBA senior division national title in Reno, Nev.

Brown has been actively involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Young Life, serving as a motivational speaker and coach at local and national banquets and camps. She has also volunteered for Rebuilding Together, a home-rehabilitation program in South Bend.

Debbie Brown’s Olympic career reached another milestone on Jan. 4, 2002, when she participated in the Winter Olympic Torch Relay, carrying the famous torch in South Bend.

A co-captain of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team that missed out on the Moscow games due to the United States boycott, Brown also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. national team during its 1988 Olympic effort.

In frigid temperatures, she stepped off the torch runners’ bus just a few steps from the Joyce Center, where she has coached the Fighting Irish volleyball team for 16 seasons. She was handed the torch by local news personality Maureen McFadden and took off down Eddy Street toward downtown South Bend (where the torch was housed for 30 minutes at the Century Center before continuing on its path to Salt Lake City for the opening ceremony).

Even though she missed out on Olympic competition during the 1980 boy-cott, Brown still remembers her national-team experience fondly: “Nothing is going to make up for the disappointment of 1980. I am happy, though, that I can still be connected to the Games. I never ever felt like I wasted four years of my life. That was a special time.”

Brown was chosen as a torchbearer due to her embodiment of the inspira-tional spirit of the Olympics, shown by serving and motivating the community.



Associate Head Coach

was bettered by only one Division I team (Nebraska). That season also saw Brewster, Kelbley, Emily Loomis and Katie Neff each finish with 1.00 blocks/set on the season, a feat they would duplicate in 2003 after it had never been done before in Irish history.

Prior to coming to Notre Dame, Davis spent two seasons at Northern Arizona, helping it qualify for the NCAA Tournament in 1999 for the first time in school history. Northern Arizona also captured a share of the Big Sky Conference title in 2000, another program first. Davis served as Northern Arizona’s recruiting coordinator and was heavily involved in on-court coaching, focusing on the middle blockers and helping with advanced scouting.

Davis led Biola to the NAIA national semifi-nals twice, including a loss in the title match in 1997. His Biola squads posted 20 wins six times, advanced to the regional semifinals seven times, and captured two league titles. In ’97, Biola earned the national sportsmanship award. Davis left Biola as the winningest coach in the history of the school, accruing 221 wins and a .734 winning percentage.

A 1979 graduate of Northern Arizona with a degree in physical education, Davis also served as athletics director at Brethren Christian High School in Cypress, Calif., spending nine years coaching volleyball, basketball and baseball. While at Brethren Christian, he also had assis-tant principal duties.

As a player, Davis was a member of the NAU men’s volleyball club team while in college and spent time on the USVBA indoor tour (1979-85), the beach volleyball circuit (1982-87), and the AVP tour (1986-87). When he left California, Davis held an AAA rating as an open beach player. Davis is also an accomplished golfer.

Named assistant volleyball coach at the Notre Dame in June 2009, Robin Davis was pro-moted to associate head coach prior to the 2011 season. Davis, who spent the three seasons as the head coach at Boise State, rejoined the Irish after spending five seasons with the Notre Dame program from 2001-2005.

Since returning to the Irish, Davis has had an integral part in developing some of Notre Dame’s finest players, including 2010 All-Americans Serinity Phillips and Christina Kaelin. A tireless advocate of all things Fighting Irish, Davis helped attract BIG EAST Conference and AVCA Northeast Region Freshman of the Year Andrea McHugh to Notre Dame along with a pair of top-15 recruiting classes in the first two seasons of his second tenure under the Golden Dome.

With the arrival of Davis as its head coach 2006, Boise State got an immediate boost to its program. In his first season, Davis posted the largest win increase for a first-year coach in Bronco history in leading the squad to 13 wins, five more than the 2005 edition of the Broncos. Davis’ 2006 total eclipsed that of Darlene Bailey, the winningest head coach in Boise State history (342 victories), who led the Broncos to a four-match turnaround in 1979.

For the first time since joining the Western Athletic Conference in 2001, Boise State swept two of its conference opponents (Louisiana Tech and Fresno State) during the ‘06 campaign. The Broncos also defeated Nevada for the first time since 1997, ending the longest losing streak against a single team in school history.

As an assistant coach with Notre Dame for four seasons during his first stint in South Bend, and as an associate head coach for one season, Davis helped lead the Fighting Irish to five con-secutive BIG EAST Conference regular-season championships and appearances at the NCAA Tournament, reaching the round of 16 in 2005. Notre Dame also finished that year with its highest-ever final national ranking - No. 12 in the AVCA poll and No. 11 in the Volleyball Magazine poll.

Notre Dame led the BIG EAST and ranked among the top five nationally in NCAA Division I in blocking in each of the five seasons following Davis’ arrival - after the program had never pre-viously cracked the national top 10. The 2003

squad led the nation in blocking (3.72/set) and broke the school record for the second year in a row (after the previous mark had stood since 1988). Additionally, then-sophomore Lauren Brewster was tops in Division I in individual blocking (1.78/set) in 2003 after finishing fourth as a rookie. Those marked the first two NCAA statistical crowns in Notre Dame history.

Davis was instrumental in the development of Brewster, as well as two of her classmates, Lauren Kelbley and Carolyn Cooper. In 2004, Brewster became the first Notre Dame player ever to be named an AVCA All-American. Kelbley, who was a middle blocker during the first half of her career before moving to outside hitter, was three times tabbed honorable men-tion All-America after being the rookie of the year for both the BIG EAST Conference and the AVCA’s Northeast Region in 2002.

In his first five years at Notre Dame, Davis helped Brewster, Kelbley, and 2001 graduate Malinda Goralski accounted for three of the top eight individual seasons by Irish players in hit-ting percentage and four of the top nine in blocking. Brewster set a Notre Dame freshman record for both blocks (175) and block average (1.68) in 2002, while her 161 block assists were the most-ever for an Irish player in a season.

In Davis’ first season, Goralski led the BIG EAST Conference in blocking (1.66) and finished sixth in Division I, while the team’s average of 3.42 was good for fifth nationally and the top mark by a Notre Dame squad since 1988. The average was 0.49 higher than Notre Dame’s mark in 2000. Goralski, the BIG EAST Player of the Year, was also second in the conference with a .379 hitting percentage that was the second-highest by an Irish player in school history.

In 2002, the Irish broke the 14-year-old school record with a block average of 3.66 that

A standout prep athlete in the Hoosier State, Pfeffenberger led Roncalli High School to a trio of state titles (two in softball, one in volleyball) while four times being named all-state and all-city (Indianapolis). She was the state’s volleyball player of the year in 2000.

The former Christy Utnage was married to Nick Pfeffenberger during the summer of 2010.

Christy Pfeffenberger was named assistant volleyball coach in July of 2011. The hiring came after Pfeffenberger, an Indianapolis native who spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Xavier and was promoted to associate head coach following the 2010 campaign, led the Musketeers to a 56-36 overall record and a 31-12 mark in Atlantic 10 Conference during her tenure with the program.

“Christy is going to be a wonderful addition to our staff,” Irish head coach Debbie Brown said. “She has had great success as a player and coach at the Division I level. She has a strong competi-tive spirit and will have an immediate positive impact on the atmosphere in the gym. I’m eager to have her work directly with our outside hit-ters and to influence the defensive mindset of the team. I’m most excited about the fiery per-sonality she has and how it will benefit our players both individually and collectively.”

Alisha Ewing joined the Irish volleyball staff in the summer of 2008 as the program’s opera-tions intern after a three-year collegiate coach-ing stint and was promoted to operations specialist in 2011. She handles video filming and editing, team travel and administrative duties.

A native of Rochester, Ind., Ewing graduated from Rochester High School after earning four letters in volleyball, basketball, and track & field. She earned all-conference honors in each of those three sports during her final three prep campaigns. Rochester’s volleyball and basket-ball squads earned the sectional championship

Pfeffenberger made her mark on every aspect of the Musketeer program, and in 2009 was part of the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s (AVCA) Thirty Under 30, which showcased up-and-coming professionals in vol-leyball.

Pfeffenberger went to Xavier after spending two seasons as an assistant under Joe Bonner at Youngstown State. She worked with all aspects of the team including managing the outside attackers, breaking down film, recruiting, aca-demics, travel plans and several other aspects as well.

Before her time at Youngstown State, Pfeffenberger served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Dayton, under former head coach Tim Horsman. She was a part of the Dayton staff for the 2005 season and helped with recruiting, scouting, academics and practice plans in addi-tion to assisting with summer camps (an endeavor she also headed at Xavier).

Pfeffenberger has also served in several other capacities within the volleyball commu-nity as a summer and winter camp coach, indi-vidual instructor, certified junior national referee and a Junior Olympic coach.

During her playing days at Dayton, Pfeffenberger garnered several Atlantic 10 and national accolades in addition to participating on two NCAA Tournament teams. She was named the A-10 Player of the Year in 2004 and earned AVCA All-American honors that year as well.

when Ewing was a senior. Ewing also edged out former Irish volleyball and track & field All-American Emily Loomis in Indiana’s prep high jump.

Ewing enjoyed a successful collegiate career as she stared for Bethel College (Ind.) in volley-ball and track. She was the NCCAA indoor and outdoor high jump champion in 2003-04 and an NAIA All-American in the event from 2002-05. The dual-sport athlete garnered all-conference honors in volleyball from 2002-04 and in track & field from 2002-05.

Ewing graduated from Bethel in 2005 with a degree in sports management and then coached for one season at Trinity Christian High School (Ind.).

Notre Dame began the 2010 campaign with a 7-2 record - one of the hottest starts ever by an Irish squad - as Andrea McHugh was named the 2011 AVCA Northeast Region and BIG EAST Conference Freshman of the Year after a standout first season with the Fighting Irish.

41-54SeasonInReview.indd 41 8/25/11 4:44 PM


Season In Review

Looking Back at 2010 ...The Irish volleyball squad posted an 18-13 overall record while going 10-4 in BIG EAST Conference play to secure the program’s 26th overall – and 20th consecutive – winning season. Notre Dame’s 7-2 record through the first nine matches was the program’s best start to a season since 2005.

McHUGE ...Andrea McHugh was named the AVCA’s Northeast Region Freshman of Year on the heels of being honored as the BIG EAST Conference Freshman of the Year ... McHugh is the latest of three Notre Dame players to earn the region’s top honor for a freshman after leading the Irish with 386 kills (3.48/set) and 32 aces (0.29/set) ... McHugh, who was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week five times to set a Notre Dame record, was also a first team all-BIG EAST selection (and the only rookie on the first team).

Dealy Captures Final BIG EAST Volleyball Weekly Award ...Kristen Dealy was named the BIG EAST Volleyball Player of the Week on Nov. 15 ... the honor was the second of Dealy’s career, as she was one of four Irish players to win the award during the 2009 campaign ... she was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week on Nov. 17, 2008 (also the last week of the regular season) and has been named to the BIG EAST all-tournament team in each of the last three seasons ... Dealy steered the Irish to a pair of wins (Nov. 13-14) and led the conference with 5.17 kills/set while ranking ninth with 4.00 digs/set over that stretch ... she notched 11 kills and nine digs in a 3-0 win over Rutgers (Nov. 13) and followed that with a 20-kill, 15-dig performance - including nine kills and 10 digs in the first set - at Seton Hall (Nov. 14) ... it was Dealy’s fourth career 20+ kill output and 28th double-double ... she is one of just a handful of Irish players to knock down 20+ kills in a three-set match and the first since 2006.

Irish Dealt a Good Hand From Dealy ...Kristen Dealy was her stellar self with 12 kills and a career-high 34 digs at Villanova (Nov. 5), the most by an Irish player since 2006 ... the effort made her the third player in program history with at least 12 kills and 34 digs in a match (Christy Peters - 14 kills, 36 digs in 1992; Jessica Fiebelkorn - 12 kills, 35 digs in 1992) ... the dig total put her in a three-way tie for fifth on the list for digs in match ... she also posted 14 kills with 11 digs and three blocks - two solo - versus No. 13 Northern Iowa (Nov. 7) ... Dealy’s two-match outbreak yielded an average of 3.71 kills/set and an eye-popping 6.43 digs/set, team-high marks in both categories for the Irish.

Hello, Hilary ...Hilary Eppink had eight kills to go along with eight blocks against St. John’s (Oct. 30), and came back one day later with a career-high 15 kills on a .520 hitting clip in a four-set affair with Connecticut (Oct. 31).It’s a Freshman Thing ...First-year setter Sammie Brown became the second Irish player in 2010 to record five aces in a match when she did so against Connecticut (Oct. 31) ... classmate Andrea McHugh dropped five aces at USF (Oct. 1).

Kill, Block, Kill, Block ...Kellie Sciacca, who recorded her 1,000th career kill against DePaul (Oct. 15), reached the 400-block plateau with her first rejection in an Oct. 30 match versus St. John’s ... Sciacca is the ninth player in program history with at least 1,000 kills and 400 blocks.

If They Could All Be Like October ...The Irish went 4-1 on their home floor in the month of October ... Notre Dame has lost just seven times on its home floor in the month of October since 1991 and only three times since 2000.

Hitting Fire During a Five-Setter ...The Irish posted a .274 hitting percentage in the five-set loss to Marquette (Oct. 24), marking the highest hitting percentage for Notre Dame in a five-set match since 2009 ... it was the fifth five-set match on the season for Notre Dame.

No Errors, No Problems ... Notre Dame lasted the entire Oct. 15 match with DePaul without committing a single service error to set a program record ... only three times in school history had the Irish finished a match with one service error (last at Florida in 1998).

Lucky Strike ...Kellie Sciacca recorded her 1,000th career kill as Notre Dame pulled out a 3-1 win over DePaul (Oct. 15) ... Sciacca, who finished the night with eight kills and seven blocks, delivered kill No. 1,000 in the second set to become the 19th player in Irish history to reach the milestone ... she later ended the frame with one of her two solo blocks on set point.

Here’s the Scoop ...Frenchy Silva scooped a career-high 29 shots at Western Michigan (Oct. 19) to tie the 14th-best single-match performance in school history ... it was the second straight 20+ dig performance for Silva and her third of the season.

Streak Comes To An End ...Notre Dame once sported the nation’s sixth-best regular-season conference winning streak, which was snapped at 19 matches after a loss at Louisville (Oct. 9) ... the Irish had won their last BIG EAST contest of the 2008 season, went 14-0 in 2009, and swept their first four league matches in 2010 ... the program is accustomed to such winning streaks in BIG EAST action, having once won 45 (Oct. 1, 1999-Nov. 9, 2002) and 35 (Sept. 30, 1995-Oct. 4, 1995) straight league matches.

First Four ... Each of Notre Dame’s first four BIG EAST wins were 3-0 sweeps ... it was the first time the program won its first four league matches by a 3-0 count since 1999.

Advantage, Irish ... The Irish were not out-hit in 21 straight regular-season league matches until Louisville did so on Oct. 9 ... previously, Marquette was the last team to out-hit the Irish, which happened during the 2008 campaign (the Golden Eagles won the battle of attack percentages, .251 to .191).

The Sun Helps ...Notre Dame’s 11 aces at USF (Oct. 1) marked the second time in school history the Irish had at least 11 serves drop for scores in a three-set affair (Notre Dame recorded 17 during a 3-0 win at Valparaiso on Sept. 12, 1984) ... Andrea McHugh had a career-high five aces against

the Bulls, becoming the first player to do so since 2007 (Kim Kristoff accomplished the feat against DePaul on Oct. 19, 2007).

It’s Been a Grand ... Notre Dame played in the 1,000th match in program history when it took the court at USF (Oct. 1), and won the contest in three sets.

Beginning the BIG EAST ... With wins over West Virginia (Sept. 24) and Pittsburgh (Sept. 26), Notre Dame went 2-0 on the opening weekend of BIG EAST Conference play for the third straight year and 15th time in 16 seasons since joining the league in 1995 ... the Irish are 15-1 in BIG EAST openers, with the lone loss coming at Pittsburgh in 2007 ... the win over the Panthers was also the first sweep against Pittsburgh for the Irish since 2004.

Start It Up ...Notre Dame’s 7-2 record through the first nine matches was the team’s best start since 2005 ... that season, the Irish won their first seven contests before falling to LSU at the Nokia Sugar Bowl Classic in College Station, Texas, before winning the next 15 matches on the slate.

Hit ‘Em Hard ...Notre Dame posted a .488 hitting pct. in a 3-0 sweep of Denver (Sept. 12), the program’s best single-match average since Nov. 4, 2001 (when the Irish hit .495 in a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh).

Francis Patrick O’Connor Award

Byron V. Kanaley Award

The Francis Patrick O’Connor Award honors male and female student-athletes who best display the total embodiment of the true spirit of Notre Dame as exemplified by their contributions and inspirations to their respective teams. To be considered, student-athletes must possess those qualities attributed to Pat O’Connor: caring, courage, confidence, encouragement, humility, honesty, humor, kindness and patience. Since 1993, the University has presented this award in the name of O’Connor, a former student-athlete who died in 1973 following his freshman year at Notre Dame. Pat was the son of William “Bucky” O’Connor, who played guard for the Notre Dame football team in the 1940s.

The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders.

The award, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, is named in honor of a 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

The Notre Dame volleyball team has had eight of its players honored with the Kanaley Award, which is presented at the spring athletic department awards dinner: Terese Henken (1984), Alicia Turner (1993), Julie Harris (1994), Jaimie Lee (1998), Keara Coughlin (2003), Kristen Kinder (2004), Emily Loomis (2005) and Adrianna Stasiuk (2007).

Irish in the BIG EASTThough all 16 members of the BIG EAST Conference

field women’s volleyball teams, Providence College ceased its league participation in the sport after the 2002 season. The other 15 schools take part in round-robin play during the regular season, and the top eight teams then participate in the BIG EAST Championship, a single-elimination tournament with the winner re-ceiving the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. This championship format is a departure from the traditional four-team event that had been in place since the Irish joined the league (with the excep-tion of 1999, when the league experimented with an expanded three-day, six-team event).

Notre Dame has experienced unprecedented suc-cess in the 16 years since joining the league in 1995. The Irish have compiled a 172-25 (.873) regular-season mark, highlighted by nine tournament titles and win-ning streaks of 45, 35 and 19 consecutive matches. Notre Dame once earned 58-straight victories at home in BIG EAST regular-season play. Irish volleyball squads carried a home conference winning streak of 74 straight matches from 1991 to 2004, which includes wins over both Midwestern Conference and BIG EAST opponents. Notre Dame has streaked through the BIG EAST regular season slate seven times without a loss (most recently in 2009 after going 14-0) while becom-ing just the second team to go undefeated since the leage adopted the 14-match format in 2005.

The Irish have won nine BIG EAST Tournament cham-pionships, posting a 29-7 (.806) mark in the event while reaching the final match in its first 12 tourna-ments. After taking a one-year hiatus from the finals, the Irish returned in 2008 before falling to Louisville.

Notre Dame has also dominated the league’s post-season awards, winning both player-of-the-year and coach-of-the-year awards on six occasions. On nine occasions, Irish players have been named the league tournament’s most outstanding player. Notre Dame student-athletes have garnered 56 all-conference ac-colades - including 30 first-team honors.

Prior to joining the BIG EAST, Notre Dame was a member of the North Star Conference from 1983-87 and the Midwestern Collegiate Conference from 1990-94. The Irish won regular-season and tournament titles in the NSC in 1986 and 1987, then captured both the regular-season and tournament championships in the MCC from 1991-1994.

In 25 years of conference participation, Notre Dame has won 17 regular-season crowns and 15 league tournaments while compiling a 229-38 (.858) mark in regular-season conference matches.

The BIG EAST ConferenceThe 2011-12 academic year is the 33rd in the

history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2011-12 year marks the conference’s seventh straight with the same 16-member group, making for the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2010-11 year was no different.

Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners, while 22 earned Capital One Academic All-America recognition. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Cup as the nation’s top female student-athlete and was chosen as the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut men’s basketball team won its third national championship, completing a magical run through five games of the BIG EAST Championship and six wins in the NCAA tournament. The Villanova women’s cross country team won the NCAA title for the second straight year and the ninth time overall. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team won its third NCAA title, while BIG EAST teams reached national championship games in women’s basketball (Notre Dame) and men’s soccer (Louisville).

The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the second time in the last three years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Indianapolis, capping a season in which the Huskies extended their NCAA-record winning streak to 90 games.

Individually, BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships, including an unprecedented four by Villanova’s Sheila Reid. Reid was the 2010 individual cross country champion, a member of the Wildcats’ winning indoor distance medley relay team and won the 5,000- and 1,500-meter titles in outdoor track & field. Louisville’s Matt Hughes, meanwhile, repeated as the NCAA champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA outdoor meet.

Moore and Reid joined Notre Dame soccer standout Melissa Henderson as winners of Honda Sports Awards as the top performers in their respective sports. Moore also became the first three-time winner of the Wade Trophy as the nation’s top women’s basketball player and joined Villanova lacrosse player Brian Karalunas as winners of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Connecticut claimed the league’s Bowl Championship Series bid for the first time as the Huskies shared the conference title with Pittsburgh and West Virginia. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record for the second straight year.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new

members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. When Texas Christian University joins the conference in the 2012-13 academic year, the conference will have a footprint in 30 percent of the nation’s television households.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 31 national championships in six different sports and 133 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won four of the last 13 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 12 NCAA titles.

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. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports.

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.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair in 2009 and has continued to steer the conference on its path of success.

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 longstanding 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 eight 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 student-athletes.

NCAA Tournament Match Breakdown

The University of Notre Dame has become a staple in the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship under the watch of head coach Debbie Brown after making just one visit to the tournament before her arrival. The Irish earned 15 consecutive bids to the NCAAs from 1992-2006 to become just one of eight schools that appeared in each of the 15 NCAA tournaments over that stretch (along with Stanford, Penn State, UC Santa Barbara, Nebraska, Long Beach State, USC, and Florida). The Irish have an all-time record of 14-17 (.452) in NCAA Champion-ship play, highlighted by six trips to the round of 16 and a finish in the 1993 quarterfinal.

The Irish made the most of their first-ever NCAA berth in 1988 by upsetting No. 20 Penn State in the opening round. Notre Dame then traveled to No. 4 Illinois and took the Illini to the wire before falling in five games. The 1993 squad put together the school’s deepest postsea-son run compliments to wins over No. 8 Nebraska at home in three games and a five-game win at Minnesota to reach the quarterfinals. That team’s run ended at the hands of No. 7 Penn State. The Irish also were among the final 16 in each of the next two seasons (1994-95) and completed a stretch of four round-of-16 appearances in five years with a second-round win over No. 18 Arkansas in 1997. Notre Dame returned to the final 16 in 2005, beating Dayton and Northwestern at home before losing in five games to No. 12 Wisconsin.

Notre Dame has played host to NCAA Tournament action on seven occasions, going 8-2 on its home court. The Irish stayed at home for first-round play in 1988 and 1993-1995 before hosting first- and second-round action in 1996, 2002 and 2005.

The NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship began in 1981 with a 20-team field. From 1982-85, 28 teams earned invitations until the field expanded to 32 teams in 1986. In 1993, the invitation list was enlarged to 48 with 16 teams gaining first-round byes. After one year of experimentation with a 56-squad event (1997), with the top eight seeds receiv-ing opening byes, the current 64-team format was adopted in 1998. First- and second-round action takes place at 16 campus sites, with the winners advancing to four pre-determined regional sites.

By the end of the 2011 season, the Notre Dame volleyball team will have traveled to 38 states, the District of Columbia and six foreign countries (Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovenia). Notre Dame's widespread travel is befitting of a student body and volleyball roster which draws from all corners of the country, as the program has included players from 27 states.

Purcell Pavillion at the Joyce CenterNotre Dame’s Purcell Pavilion at the

Joyce Center, the home of Irish volleyball since the establishment of the varsity pro-gram in 1980, has become one of the most difficult sites in the nation for road teams to win, especially since the arrival of head coach Debbie Brown in 1991.

Over the last 18 years, Notre Dame has posted a 217-48 home record for an impressive .819 winning percentage, including perfect marks of 17-0 and 12-0 during the 1994 and 2001 campaigns, respectively.

The Irish have pieced together a variety of impressive winning streaks on their home floor. Notre Dame has won 14 or more matches in a row at home on five different occa-sions, highlighted by a streak of 27 straight home wins from 1993-95 and a program-best 36-match winning streak from 2000-02.

The Joyce Center may not be a favorite venue for league opponents, as Notre Dame won 74 consecu-tive regular-season c o n f e r e n c e matches in the Joyce Center from Brown’s arrival in 1991 through the 2004 campaign. Upon joining the BIG EAST Conference in 1995, the first 61 league teams to play in the Joyce Center were defeated before Pittsburgh upset the Irish in the 2003 BIG EAST Championship finale.

On 16 occasions, Notre Dame has downed ranked teams in the Joyce Center, including six wins over top-10 opponents. In 1993, the Irish downed national power Nebraska twice at home, first defeating the third-ranked Cornhuskers in four sets in the Golden Dome Invitational in September and then winning in three games in the second round of the NCAA Championship when Nebraska was No. 8 in the nation. Other notable wins in the Joyce Center include a set triumph over No. 9 USC in 1995, and a five-set marathon victory vs. No. 10 Pepperdine in the 2002 Golden Dome Invitational. In 2005, the Irish

boasted home wins over both No. 11 Texas and No. 6 Louisville.

Most recently, Notre Dame toppled No. 5 Stanford with a 3-0 sweep in the opening weekend of the 2009 campaign.

In 31 seasons of volleyball action, Notre Dame holds a 297-94 (.760) mark in the Joyce Center, which celebrated its 35th year of service to the University in 2003. The facility also serves as a multipurpose sports complex, theatre and concert hall, conven-tion center, and office building.

The first-ever volleyball match played in the north dorm of the facility (also known as “the Field House”) was in 2007, when No. 7 Florida handed the Irish a 3-1

defeat. The Irish returned to the Field House for the bulk of the 2009 season as the main arena under-went renovations.

Notre Dame volleyball played its matches in “the Pit,” an intimate gymnasium in the basement of the Joyce Center, from 1980-83 until increased atten-dance served as the impetus for a move to the bas-ketball arena. The Irish played in “the Pit” again in 1986

due to renovation, but other than that, have had their home matches in the south arena since 1984. In 1999, a new Sport Court volleyball-only playing surface debuted in the Joyce Center, completing the facility’s evolution into one of the top volleyball venues in the country.

Interest in the Irish volleyball program has steadily increased over the past several of seasons, as crowds of more than 1,000 have taken in Notre Dame matches on 58 occasions since 2000. The six largest gath-erings – all over 3,000 fans – came for matches preceding football pep rallies, held in the Joyce Center on Fridays before home games. In 2003, the Notre Dame-Virginia Tech matchup that ended with a thrilling five-set Irish victory was played before a record crowd of 8,643. That season also featured the largest-ever non-pep rally crowd for volleyball, as 2,715 wit-

nessed Notre Dame beat rival Miami in three games in a match televised live by College Sports Television (CSTV). Over 1,500 fans were in attendance when the Irish downed No. 17 Louisville, 3-1, in the 2007 Senior Day match televised by ESPNU.

The facility underwent a major facelift which wrapped up in 2009. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Purcell Pavilion, including the Joyce Center arena addition and renovation, were held in September 2008.

The first phase of the project involved construction of a new three-story structure at the south end of the arena. That struc-ture includes a new three-story lobby, the Notre Dame ticket operations and a varsity shop to sell apparel and souvenirs, in addi-tion to a new club seating and hospitality area.

Replacement of the existing Joyce Center arena seating, including installation of chair-back seating throughout the

The University announced in October 2007 that this $26.3 million project had received a $12.5 million leadership gift from Notre Dame alumnus and Trustee Philip J. Purcell III, the retired chairman and chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley.

The arena is the home for Notre Dame teams in men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball - as well as Commencement, concerts, Masses and other events.

Originally opened in December 1968 as the Athletic and Convocation Center, the Irish facility in 1987 was renamed the Edmund P. Joyce Center after former long-time University executive vice president Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C.

Among those notables who have appeared at the Joyce Center are six presi-dents - Jimmy Carter, George H. Bush, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan (twice), George W. Bush (twice) and Barack Obama -- as well as entertainment legends Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John and U-2.

University of Notre Dame

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing

educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great uni-versity, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics.

The University has also stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in the school’s 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly interna-tional student body, coming from over 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Fr. Sorin.

Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletics

programs. The University ranks first among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the 2011 Times Higher Education survey and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to BusinessWeek magazine.



University Leadership

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time –

an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excel-lence in undergraduate education.

During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering.

His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initia-tives that have examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration and energy.

The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and exec-utive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his fourth year as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are meeting the perfor-mance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division, reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing emerging digital technologies to deliver bet-ter information on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded production and distribu-tion of programming, and restruc-turing Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through assignment of a unique adminis-trator to each of the 26 Irish sports.

Notre Dame ranked num-ber one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the three most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys – in 2010 and 2009 with 99 scores (including in ‘09 a 97 score and ’10 a 96 in football that both also ranked number one). The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more per-fect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution. The 2010 Notre Dame APR report featured eight perfect 1,000 scores.

The past three years combined in Notre Dame athletics have featured 94 All-Americans, 19 Academic All-America selec-tions and five NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship winners; record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes; NCAA titles in 2011 in men’s and women’s fencing (a combined championship) and in 2010 in women’s soccer (with Randy Waldrum named coach of the year); NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2011 women’s basketball, 2010 men’s lacrosse, 2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifinal appearances in 2011 hockey, 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a 2010 third-place fencing finish; a men’s basket-ball modern program record 27 victories and a number-two NCAA seed (its highest in 30 years) in 2010-11 (resulting in national coach of the year awards for Mike Brey); the hiring of new Irish head football coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; construction of a new, freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12 season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse – as well

as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center.

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of the city’s suc-cessful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee to the Big Ten Conference. His lead-ership efforts resulted in the city earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association national head-quarters in 1999; hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship compe-titions and an array of national and world championships in Olympic sports.

At Baker & Daniels, Swarbrick served as general counsel for numerous national gov-erning bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a con-sultant to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and chal-

lenges in the sport, and developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a sophomore at TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame freshman.
