LSU Volleyball Preview Part 2: Outside Hitters

<LSU Volleyball Preview Part 2: Outside Hitters
 
BATON ROUGE – LSU volleyball has racked up a 115-38 record to go along with the nation’s 11th best winning percentage and is one of only 20 programs nationally to collect five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances since 2005.
 
Under the direction of reigning SEC and AVCA South Coach of the Year Fran Flory, the Tigers took their championship tradition to the next level in 2009, not only claiming the program’s fifth straight SEC Western Division crown but LSU’s first overall SEC title since 1991.
 
Second in a four-part series previewing the upcoming season breaks down what LSU fans can expect from the Tigers’ outside hitters this fall.
 
One of the most intriguing situations heading into the 2010 campaign is LSU’s front row hitting corps. The Tigers will have a youthful group ready to take charge following the graduation of All-SEC First-Team and AVCA All-America Honorable Mention pick Marina Skender. 
 
LSU doesn’t lack a shortage of candidates as senior Angela Bensend joined by sophomore Madie Jones can succeed at either the outside or right side hitting positions. Brittney Johnson and Tania Schatow are additional candidates that can see time when not playing their traditional positions, while freshmen Avery Striebel and Nicole Willis, a pair of Tar Heel state standouts, also will be in the mix. 
 
Bensend has compiled 79 starts and the Tigers have won 14 of 15 matches when she reaches double-digit kills over the previous three seasons. She was one of four players to average over 1.75 kills per set and popped 90 of her 176 spikes during LSU’s last 12 matches.
 
Jones saw action in 20 matches and performed at a high level primarily off the bench. She slapped six or more kills on five occasions; all against 2009 NCAA Tournament teams Nebraska, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee and Tulane. 
 
“Our hitters have a tremendous amount of talent, and we feel great about the progress that they continue to make,” Flory said. “We’re very pleased with Angela and Madie’s development. I’m confident they’re ready to step forward and rise to the challenges that are ahead.”
 
Striebel collected 2009 Carolina 3A Conference Player of the Year for Cardinal Gibbons High School in North Carolina. Her team finished with an impressive 114-8 mark during her four-year career and claimed three state championships in 2006, 2007 and 2009. 
 
Willis, a southpaw, expects to make an impact on the right side. She secured three CAP All-Conference First-Team selections after finishing among her school’s top 5 in kills, digs, blocks and aces at Needham Broughton High School in North Carolina. She also was a five-year player in the Junior Olympics.
 
“Both Avery and Nicole are athletes who have all the attributes, we, as coaches, look for in recruits,” Flory said. “Avery knows how to win and succeed after having played for one of the top high school teams in the country. At the same time, Nicole’s versatility and ability to play above the net on both sides of the ball will definitely impact our team.”
 
LSU opens the 2010 season against Pacific, Siena and Texas A&M as part of the Texas A&M Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Season tickets for the defending SEC champions are on-sale now at www.lsutix.net starting at $40 for adults and $25 for youth ages 3-12.

Southern Illinois Volleyball Tops Hatters in Three Sets at Stetson Invitational, Berwanger Has Third Double-Double




Southern Illinois Volleyball Tops Hatters in Three Sets at Stetson Invitational, Berwanger Has Third Double-Double

Jennifer Berwanger recorded her third double-double of the season.

DE LAND, Fla. - The Southern Illinois volleyball team held Stetson to just 25 kills, sweeping the Hatters in the opening match of the Stetson Holiday Inn Invitational 25-21, 25-17, 25-12.

The Salukis started the season 5-0 for the first time since 2002.

"Rachael Brown and Chandra Roberson, Marina Medic along with Alysia Mayes really connected today and ran some great offense in the middle," Saluki head coach Brenda Winkeler said. "In return, (Stetson) couldn't get much offense going off of our offense and that really helped us. We finally got used to the match tempo and came back in the third set and played better."

Roberson contributed 13 kills, one solo and two block assists, while Medic hit .833 with five kills and no errors and Mayes posted two kills and two solo blocks in the win.

Brown paced the Salukis with a match-high 39 assists, two service aces, one solo and three block assists. Lauren Blumhorst also pitched in 10 digs for the defense.

Jennifer Berwanger posted her third double-double in four matches with a match-high 14 kills and 15 digs.

"Ball control was really an issue for us today," Winkeler added. "We had too many receiving errors and that allowed (Stetson) to stay in it."

SIU recorded an uncharacteristic seven receiving errors in the match.

The Salukis wrap up play at the Stetson Invitational Saturday, taking on Florida A&M at 12 p.m. and then facing Stetson in a rematch at 6 p.m.

The second set was an improvement for the Jayhawks as they took the lead early.  The Jayhawks went on an 8-0 run in the middle of the contest and won 25-14. Lispcomb swung a .000 attack percentage, while the Jayhawks recorded a match-high .345 hitting efficiency.



In set three, the Jayhawks took over a lead at 15-14. The Lady Bison were stayed within one to two points for the remainder of the set, but KU held on for the 25-23 win. Mayfield led the team with six kills in the set.

LSU Volleyball Season Preview Part 2: Outside Hitters

Volleyball Season Preview Part 2: Outside Hitters

 

BATON ROUGE – LSU volleyball has dominated the SEC Western Division by racking up four consecutive division championships. The Tigers are 28-2 against its fellow division foes since 2006, including 20 straight wins. 

LSU also has accumulated four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and posted an impressive 90-31 record during its four-year run. The Tigers .743 winning percentage ranks 14th nationally. With a core of seasoned veterans and a crop of talented newcomers, LSU is more than capable of building on its championship tradition during the 2009 season.

Second in a four-part series previewing the upcoming season breaks down what LSU fans can expect from the Tiger outside hitters this fall.

LSU has no shortage of options as Marina Skender, Angela Bensend and Madie Jones can succeed at either the outside or right side hitting positions. The trio is joined by Brittney Johnson, Ally Judkins, Tania Schatow and Michele Williams, who are additional candidates that could see time on the outside when not in their traditional positions. 

A dangerous server, powerful hitter and consistent passer, Skender’s versatility combined with her experience, makes her one of the most complete players in the SEC. She enters 2009 after racking up 1,097 kills, 954 digs, 247 blocks and 165 aces over her first three seasons before sitting out 2008 with a medical redshirt. 

Bensend had a strong finish to the 2008 season, connecting on 108 of her 151 kills against SEC opponents. Her steady passing also will be important as she looks to return to her form that brought her 2007 All-SEC Freshmen Team accolades.   

“The 2009 team is filled with tremendous flexibility and firepower,” head coach Fran Flory said. “It’s very rare to finish the spring not knowing where the pieces are going to fit together in the fall. Marina and Angela give a solid foundation to our steady arsenal.”

Madie Jones is physical opposing player who played both outside and right side hitter in high school. She was chosen as one of PrepVolleyball.com’s Class of 2009 Top 50 recruits and tallied a second-place finish at the 2008 USA Volleyball Junior Championships with her club team taking home All-America honors.  

The Fall Sports Pass which costs $50 for adults, $25 for youth also is now on-sale at www.LSUSports.net, the official Web site of LSU Athletics. Tickets also can be purchased at the ticket office or by calling (225) 578-2184 or (800) 960-8587. LSU students, faculty and staff are admitted free with a LSU ID.

The pass features 21 action packed events and results in a 66 percent savings off regular season ticket prices between the volleyball and soccer programs. Fans who purchase aFall Sports Pass receive an LSU T-Shirt, Visor and Frisbee.

Meet the Nicholls State Colonels Volleyball Team: Outside Hitters

Meet the Nicholls State Colonels Volleyball Team: Outside Hitters

THIBODAUX – After last season’s Southland Conference Tournament run,
Nicholls State University head volleyball coach Chris Laird knows what
his team does well.  In 2008, the Colonels surprised the conference with
improved ball control and a quick-hit attack that kept opponents off
balance.  In 2009, Laird says the Colonels can expect to do more of the
same.

“We spend a lot of time talking about timing and looking ahead to
adjusting to what the other team is going to do,” Laird said.  “That’s
not too different from a lot of these smaller school volleyball
programs, but for us it’s more of a laundry list of things.  We don’t
just toss the ball out there and see what happens.  We say that if event
‘A’ happens, then we have to make sure event ‘B’ is how it plays out.”

According to Laird, one key to the Colonel attack will be the continued
progress of the Nicholls’ corps of outside hitters.  Also according to
Laird, the title of ‘outside hitter’ may be a bit of a misnomer on this
squad.

“Our hitters are also our passers,” Laird said.  “Our passers make it
happen, so our hitters have to have the understanding that they are
going to be expected to hit anywhere from the middle of the court all
the way to the outside antenna.  They need to pass consistently to be in
the position to do that.  We need some well-rounded hitters that are
good in every facet of the game.”

Laird believes he has the right set of hitters for the job, as the
Colonel outside hitters will be led by a pair of seniors in Manieka
Golden and Rachel Spreen.

Golden returns as the team’s most prolific scorer at outside hitter last
season.  The Porter, Texas native recorded a team-high 229 kills in her
first season after transferring in from Galveston Community College in
2008.

Spreen also returns for her final season after a productive junior
campaign.  The Houston native turned in 163 kills in just 87 sets.

Sophomore Elise King will be looking to break through in her sophomore
season.  The New Orleans native and Edna Karr product saw time in 21
matches (57 sets) and will look to contribute even more in 2009.

Also joining the Colonel attack will be freshmen Jennifer Brandt and
Jennifer Dunn.  Brandt, a native of Wallis, Texas arrives in Thibodaux
after leading Brazos HS to a state runner-up finish and earning
all-state honors as a senior.  Dunn also brings a championship pedigree
after leading Sandy Creek HS to a Georgia State High School
championship.

“Manieka and Rachel really are comfortable with our style of play,”
Laird said.  “Brandt has really stepped up in her first preseason camp
and is starting to make a name for herself.  Dunn is coming along and
she can help us mostly in the back row, and Elise is also another girl
that, if we need to go to her for a specific set, we can go to her for
that.”
