PAC-12 PLAYERS OF THE WEEKOFFENSIVE: Karsta Lowe, UCLA
SAN FRANCISCO - The Pac-12 Conference office announced today the Pac-12 Volleyball Players of the Week for the week of Sept. 1-7. UCLA’s Karsta Lowe was named the Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week, while STANFORD’s Inky Ajanaku was voted Defensive Player of the Week for the second-straight week and OREGON’s Frankie Shebby was tabbed as the league’s Freshman of the Week. Karsta Lowe (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.) had 49 kills in only six sets last weekend at the Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge, helping the Bruins to an upset-sweep over then-ninth-ranked Illinois on Friday before falling to then-No. 1 Penn State. Lowe combined to hit .344, while adding 13 digs, four aces and three blocks over the two matches en route to earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team. Lowe reached 20 kills in both matches, setting a career high with 29 versus the Fighting Illini. To go with her new career high in kills, Lowe also recorded 10 digs for her third-career double-double, had two aces and hit at a .426 clip. Against the Nittany Lions, Lowe had 20 kills, two aces and three digs. Inky Ajanaku (Tulsa, Okla.) led Stanford to five-set wins over top-10 ranked Big Ten opponents, including then-No. 1 Penn State and then-No. 9 Illinois last week in the Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge. The tournament’s Most Valuable Player, Ajanaku posted a.442 hitting percentage over the two matches while averaging 3.50 points, 3.00 kills and 1.00 blocks per set. Against the then-top ranked Nittany Lions, she hit a team-best .385, totaling 14 kills, including the 600th of her career, and four blocks for 16.0 points. Against the then-No. 9 Illini, the Tulsa, Okla., native notched 16 kills, one shy of her career high, on a .500 hitting percentage to go with six blocks as the Cardinal fought back from a 2-1 deficit to remain undefeated on the year. Ajanaku now leads the Pac-12 with a .474 hitting percentage on the season. Frankie Shebby (La Mirada, Calif.) made her collegiate debut at the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Vol-leyball Classic, helping the Ducks to a 3-0 weekend, including an upset of then-No. 20 Hawai’i. She averaged 2.62 kills on a .202 hitting percentage, posting double-digit kills in each of the three matches. In her first match as a Duck against St. John’s, Shebby led the team offensively, finishing with 14 kills, three blocks and a .310 hitting percentage. She then had 10 kills each in the five-set thriller against the host-Wahine and the 3-1 victory over New Mexico, and was named to the all-tournament team. It is Lowe’s third-career Conference weekly nod, and second offensive weekly award. It is UCLA’s 71st all-time. Ajanaku’s honor marks the third-career weekly honor and second-straight defensive nod. She was also voted the offensive honoree last year. It is Stanford’s 90th all-time weekly recognition. Shebby earns Oregon’s third all-time freshman nod. Weekly awards have been selected every week of the season since the Conference began sponsoring women’s volleyball in 1986. It is the third year the Pac-12 has announced an offensive, defensive and rookie honoree. Freshman of the week honors are not included in the all-time totals for each institution.

• Pac-12 coaches reach milestones ... Pac-12 volleyball coaches are amongst the most respected in the country, with the group having combined to win over 5,000 matches heading into the season, won six NCAA titles and reached the NCAA semifinals 21 times. Their successful careers within the Pac-12 and outside the conference has led the following to celebrate milestone seasons: Jason Watson, ARIZONA STATE is celebrating 10 years as a Division I head coach.

• Pac-12 teams have traditionally gotten off to a fast start to start the season; for example, league teams went 28-3 (.903) to open the 2013 season, including going 19-1 (.950) in three set matches. The 2014 campaign has gotten off to a dominating start, as well. The Pac-12 went 32-3 (.914) in the opening weekend, posting three-set sweeps in 20 of those matches. Two of those wins also came against home teams ranked in the AVCA Preseason Top 25, including a 3-0 upset of then-No. 17 Hawai’i at the hands of then-No. 25 ARIZONA STATE in Honolulu. Then-No. 3 STANFORD easily handled then-No. 7 Nebraska in straight sets.
• Eight Pac-12 players have been named AVCA National Player of the Year since 2001, including the last four-straight years. In all, a league player has earned the national honor 13 times. Washington’s Krista Vansant was the most recent honoree, leading the Huskies to their first NCAA semifinal appearance in 2005. She became the first junior to earn the honor since former Stanford standout Foluke Akinradewo in 2007.
• Thirteen AVCA All-Americans return to action in the Pac-12...

• Fear the Underclassmen... The underclassmen in the Pac-12 are the majority again this year, outnum-bering the upperclassmen, 110-83, accounting for nearly 57 percent of combined Pac-12 rosters. The freshman class is the biggest in the Conference with 57 rostered players with no collegiate experience, edging out the sophomore class by four. The junior class is the smallest with just 39 players with two years of playing experience remaining. CALIFORNIA has the most freshmen with eight, followed by UTAH and WASHINGTON who both have seven each. The Golden Bears have the most underclassmen with 13 com-bined freshmen and sophomores. Cal, STANFORD and the Huskies each have a mere two seniors on this year’s roster for the smallest senior classes in the league. Class designations are based on playing eligibility.
• FAB Freshmen... Pac-12 volleyball continues to recruit marquee student-athletes. Six Pac-12 institu-tions landed at least one Volleyball Magazine FAB 50 recruit. Here’s a list of those freshmen who should make significant contributions to Pac-12 volleyball:

• Pac-12 teams work fast... Last season, Pac-12 teams were 110-22 (.833) against non-conference opponents. Of those 132 matches, 79 lasted just three sets where the Pac-12 posted an impressive 73-6 record (.924).
• Bring it on... In order to prepare for the rigors of the Pac-12, league teams schedule tough non-confer-ence matches. Of the 134 non-conference tilts on the 2014 docket, 40 are against teams that competed in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING...• The Pac-12 has captured six of the last 13 NCAA crowns (2011 - UCLA, 2005 - Washington, 2004 - Stanford, 2003 - USC, 2002 - USC, 2001 - Stanford) and 14 NCAA titles overall.
• The Pac-12 has had 10 or more All-Americans selections in seven of the last nine years. Last year, 11 were named to the AVCA All-America squad, the most since 13 were selected in 2009. First team selec-tions in 2013 were Inky Ajanaku (STAN), Natalie Hagglund (USC), Ebony Nwanebu (USC), Krista Vansant (WASH) and Carly Wopat (STAN). It marked the fourth-straight year at least four players were named to the first team. Second team selections were Liz Brenner (ORE), Samantha Bricio (USC), Madi Bugg (STAN) and Christina Higgins (CAL), while Kaleigh Nelson (WASH) and Alexis Olgard (USC) were named to the third team. Ten former Pac-12 players have earned All-America honors four times, while another 17 play-ers in all have earned All-American honors three times. Since 1990, Pac-12 players garnered AVCA Player of the Year honors 13 times, including the last four years - CAL’s Carli Lloyd (2010), USC’s Alex Jupiter (2011), ORE’s Alaina Bergsma (2012) and WASH’s Krista Vansant (2013). The NCAA Honda Sports Award honor has been bestowed upon a Pac-12 volleyball player 13 times, including Vansant in 2013.
• The current group of Pac-12 volleyball coaches enters the 2014 season with over 5,000 Division I victories to its credit, having compiled 5,009 wins in a combined 204 years of head coaching experience. That averages out to nearly 25 wins a season for each coach per season.
In addition, these coaches have guided NCAA Division I teams to 37 NCAA semifinal appearances and eight NCAA titles. In the last 12 years, seven different coaches have been named the ASICS/Volleyball Magazine Coach of the Year and/or the AVCA Coach of the Year - Arizona’s David Rubio (2001 ASICS), Cali-fornia’s Rich Feller (2007 ASICS, 2010 ASICS and AVCA), Stanford’s John Dunning (2001 AVCA), UCLA’s Mike Sealy (2011 AVCA), USC’s Mick Haley (2003 AVCA), Washington’s Jim McLaughlin (2004 ASICS and AVCA), and UCLA’s Andy Banachowski (2006 ASICS and AVCA).
PAC-12 VOLLEYBALL AT THE LONDON OLYMPICS
The Pac-12 has had a long and storied history at the Olympics, and the 2012 London Games was no exception. The Conference was well represented in London, sending over 250 athletes, delegates and officials with Pac-12 ties. In the sport of volleyball, the Conference’s influence could be seen in the indoor competition and on the sand. In the indoor competition, five former Pac-12 players were named to the Team USA squad and two on the coaching staff also had Conference affiliations with the league. In addition, former Husky Janine Sandell represented host-nation Great Britain. The USA team went on to win the silver medal. The Conference’s ties on the sand could not be overlooked. Both of Team USA’s sand women’s teams had Pac-12 ties. Three of the four players in the “All-American Final” were Pac-12 alumni, as the Conference added a gold and silver medal to its total medal count. Pac-12 athletes claimed 45 total medals at the London Olympic games - 19 gold, 14 silver and 12 bronze. If the Conference was a nation, it would have ranked fifth in overall medals and in gold medals.

PAC-12 WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL WEEKLY RELEASE // September 1, 2014 7
PAC-12 COACHES PICK STANFORD AS 2014 FAVORITE
SAN FRANCISCO -- In a polling of the Pac-12 Confer-ence’s 12 women’s volleyball coaches, STANFORD was voted the favorite to win the 2014 regular season, the Conference office announced today. The Cardinal, who finished second last season, nabbed the top spot with 114 points, just one point more than USC. In addition to the annual coaches poll, the Pac-12 announced the Preseason All-Pac-12 team, as voted on by the league coaches. 10 of the 14 all-Conference honorees from a year ago appear on the 15-player pre-season squad (there was a tie for last place), including seven first-, second- or third-team AVCA All-Americans. Both Stanford and USC had five first-place votes each, with defending champion WASHINGTON receiv-ing the last two and 106 points to place third. The Cardinal return a lineup that includes four All-Americans and a pair of all-conference picks. Led by Hall of Fame coach John Dunning, Stanford will be seeking its Conference-record 16th crown this season. Stanford has five starters returning from last year’s team that finished second in the Pac-12 standings, including four preseason all-Conference selections as well as the 2013 Pac-12 Setter of the Year Madi Bugg. USC has a packed lineup this season, led by the last two Pac-12’s Freshman of the Year and Vol-leyball Magazine’s National Freshmen of the Year in junior Samantha Bricio (2012), also an AVCA All-American in 2013, and Ebony Nwanebu (2013). Defending Pac-12 Champion WASHINGTON is third in the poll and will look to the 2013 Pac-12 Player of the Year Krista Vansant to lead the team in defense of its title, its first since 2005 and third overall. The Huskies are also coming off a trip to the national semifinals last year, the first 2006 and second since winning the NCAA title in 2005. ARIZONA STATE was fourth in the polling with 73 points, the team’s highest since being picked to finish that high in 1999. The Sun Devils are coming off back-to-back seasons with NCAA Tournament ap-pearances. Both CALIFORNIA and OREGON collected 70 points each to tie for fifth in the polling. Both teams have made recent trips to the NCAA title match, with the Golden Bears advancing that far in 2010, while the Ducks did so in 2012. Predicted to finish seventh this season is COLORADO with 62 points. The Buffs are coming off a season where they earned an NCAA Tournament bid, the team’s first since 2006. UCLA, the 2011 NCAA Champion, was eighth with 58 points, followed by ARIZONA with 51 points. The Wildcats won its first-round match for the firs time since 2005. UTAH also had a standout season earning its first NCAA Tourna-ment bid last year since 2008. With 25 points, WASHINGTON STATE is 11th in the poll, with OREGON STATE placing 12th with 11 points. Pac-12 volleyball is coming off a historic season with a league-record nine teams earning NCAA Tournament bids in 2013. UW’s appearance in the national semifinals marked the fourth-consecutive year a Conference team has advanced that far. Four teams ended the season ranked in the final AVCA Coaches Poll, including three in the top 10, as eight different Pac-12 teams earned top-25 rankings at some point during the 2013 season.
