SEAWOLF VOLLEYBALLOn the RiseA proven winner as both a player and coach on the collegiate level, Michelle Earl brings an intense approach and an up-tempo style of play that should have the Seawolf program on the upswing in 2007. At UAA, Earl is beginning to put her imprint on the program, building around a solid group of returners with a tremendous recruiting class. “We’re still youthful overall,” said Earl. “But with the steady improvement that we have seen in our return-ing players, plus the confi-dence that we have in the newcomers, I feel like the future holds great things for Seawolf Volleyball.” One thing that will stay the same, however, is the Seawolves’ strong fan base in volleyball-mad Anchorage. For six of the past 10 years, UAA has ranked among the top 10 in Division II attendance, and with excite-ment about the new era, those figures are sure to grow.

The fifth volleyball coach in UAA history, Earl came to UAA in 2005 from Georgia Southwestern State, where she compiled a 212-191 record over 10 seasons. At GSW, Earl started the program from scratch in 1995 and eventually led the Hurricanes to four conference titles in five years (1998-2002) and a berth in the 1999 NAIA National Tournament. Earl was recognized as Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2003, and was the NAIA Region XIII Coach of the Year in 2000 as well. Earl was a junior college All-America outside hitter at Mesa (Ariz.) Community College (1989-91) before going on to star for the University of Iowa from 1991-92. She earned a bachelor of science in Health Promotion from Iowa in 1994, and went on to earn her masters degree in Physical Education from Georgia Southwestern in 1996. Earl’s coaching career began at her alma mater as a graduate assistant in 1993, and a year later she took over as head coach at Iowa Wesleyan College, helping that team improve its record from 6-24 to 16-28.

Founded in 2001, the GNAC features 10 schools — UAA, Alaska Fairbanks, Central Washington, Montana State Billings, Northwest Nazarene, Saint Martin’s, Seattle, Seattle Pacific, Western Oregon and Western Washington. MSU Billings joins the league as the newest member for the 2007-08 campaign.
