NATIONALLYRECOGNIZED PROGRAM

NCAATOURNAMENT HOST

Flyer Volleyball fi rst vaulted itself into the

national spotlight with a 33-2 record in 2007.

UD was nationally ranked for the fi rst time in

school history and was included in the AVCA

Top 25 Coaches Poll for the fi nal 15 of 17

weeks. Dayton continued its success in 2008

earning the school’s fi rst-ever at-large bid

into the NCAA Volleyball Championships.

The University of Dayton’s Frericks Center has

been selected as a host site for the First and

Second Rounds of the NCAA Tournament for

the last two seasons. Over 1,000 fans have

packed into the Frericks Center to watch

the Flyers compete on the national stage.

Over 1,600 of the Flyer Faithful packed the

house for UD’s First Round match against the

Western Michigan Broncos in 2008.

In the Summer of 2009, the Frericks Center,

received a major overhaul to its playing surface

and crowd environment. The University of

Dayton invested $300,000 dollars to install a

Robbins Bio-Channel hardwood fl oor in place

of the former Sport Court. The multi-layered

surface helps to reduce the wear and tear on a

player’s body during the course of a season.

The Flyer Faithful have also been rewarded for

their dedication to a championship program.

The Frericks Center’s roof was replaced, along

with the ceilings being cleared of clutter and

painted white to give fans a better view of the

action all season long.

FLYERFAITHFUL

Whether at home or on the road, the

Flyer Faithful support the volleyball

program at the University of Dayton.

UD traditionally ranks among the Top 40

teams in the nation in attendance and

averaged over 1,000 fans per match

during its magical 2007 when it fi nished

with a 33-2 overall record and a berth in

the NCAA Second Round.

“In recent history, Dayton volleyball has

lifted its play to become a Top 25 program

on the court,” Head Coach Kelly Sheffi eld

said. “Now we are in the process of

becoming a Top 25 program in the stands

as well and are looking to surpass 1,500

fans per match at the Frericks Center.”

Included in the contingent of fans is the “Red Scare”, UD’s student fan club, which

traditionally fi lls each end zone of the Frericks Center court. The support of Dayton’s student

body has given the Flyers a home court advantage that has developed into 62-15 (.805)

home record since 2004 including a 22-5 record in the last two seasons.

After the Flyers earned their fi fth trip to the Big Dance in the last six years. The Flyer

Faithful responded by pouring into the Frericks Center to watch their hometown team host

the First Round for the second consecutve season. 1, 674 fans attended the match against

Western Michigan. It was the fourth largest crowd in Frericks Center history.

TOP TIER NATIONAL CATHOLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON, WE BELIEVE IN ASKING BIG QUESTIONS.

OUR BIGGEST ONE: WHAT’S NEXT?

The answer springs out of our Catholic,

Marianist philosophy of education. For more

than 150 years, we have remained faithful to

our mission. We educate for transformation.

Students are called to use their knowledge and faith to

change the world. Six civil engineering students recently

combined their technical know-how and community-

building skills to work with the people of Barombi,

Cameroon, to build a pipeline and fi lter system, bringing

the West African village safe drinking water for

the fi rst time.

THAT’S TRANSFORMATIVE.

Today, we are fast-tracking the development of alternative

and renewable energy. We offer the state’s fi rst master’s

degree in renewable energy. The program builds upon

interest among students in wind power, solar power and

other renewable energy technologies. The University

of Dayton Research Institute is partnering with the Air

Force Research Laboratory to construct and operate the

country’s fi rst federal research facility that will create jet

fuel from coal and biomass. We’re leading a statewide

collaboration of 15 universities dedicated to clean energy

research and development.

THAT’S CHANGE THE WORLD NEEDS.

The University of Dayton attracted more than 12,000

applications for its fi rst-year class, another new record. It

is the most academically prepared class, as measured

by college entrance test scores, in school history. Our

95 rating in the latest NCAA Graduation Success

Report is best in the A-10 and in the top 5 percent of

Division schools. Our annual sponsored research volume

hit another record mark at approximately $94 million,

solidifying our rank as the top Catholic university for

engineering research. In the state, we won Ohio

Research Scholar funds to recruit world-class scholars

for endowed professorships in the promising, high-tech

fi elds of alternative fuels, layered sensing and advanced

materials. We are the only private university in Ohio

tapped to lead one of the research endeavors.

THAT’S WHERE OUR FUTURE LIES.

Students are called to use their knowledge and faith to

The University of Dayton remains on solid fi nancial

footing despite the global fi nancial crisis. An anonymous

donor showed his faith in our future with a $10 million

gift for need-based scholarships — the largest gift for

scholarships in our history.

That’s transformative for another generation of University

of Dayton students committed to changing the world.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The University of Dayton reads the signs of the times

and acts. That’s always been our greatest strength. That’s

how we became a top-tier national research university

known globally for scholarship and research that improve

the human condition.

By every measure — from enrollment and research

dollars to rankings and private support — this is a

university on the rise. We are positioned for a future

of extraordinary promise.

WHAT IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE/”PROSPECT”?A prospect is any student who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade, any student who receives fi nancial assistance or other benefi ts from UD and/or its athletics representative that are not normally provided to prospective students generally.

You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach or representative of the college’s athletics interests (booster or representative) approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches or boosters that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are:• Providing you with an offi cial visit*• Placing more than one telephone call to you or any

other member of your family• Visiting you or any other member of your family

anywhere other than the college campus* You may take a maximum of fi ve “offi cial visits” with no more

than one to any single institution

NCAA COMPLIANCE -THE NCAA AND YOUThe University of Dayton is committed to the principle of institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of NCAA, conference and university rules and regulations. The University’s commitment is to maintain control of its athletics programs through cooperation between responsible administrators, coaches, faculty, all institutional staff members, student-athletes and representatives of the University’s athletics interests.

A MESSAGE TO PROSPECTS...To participate in varsity athletics, student-athletes must receive “qualifi er” status determined by the NCAA Clearinghouse. Please visit NCAAClearinghouse.net for further information.

It is never too early for student-athletes to start planning for college. Call the NCAA’s “Wanna Play? Know the Rule” hotline at 1-800-638-3731 to hear recorded information and order your free copy of the NCAA Guide for the College Bound Student-Athlete.

ASK BEFORE YOU ACTThe importance of following all NCAA rules and regulations is imperative to maintaining the integrity of the University of Dayton. We ask all alumni, current student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, their families and friends to help the University protect the athletic eligibility of our student-athletes and the reputation of the University by adhering to the rules and regulations of the NCAA and by contacting the UD Compliance Offi ce or the NCAA with all questions.

With questions regarding the information above, contact Matt Tanney, Coordinator for Compliance, in the UD Compliance Offi ce at (937)-229-1285 or [email protected].

SPORTS MEDICINE

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

SPORTS MEDICINE STAFFAt the University of Dayton, the health and well being of our student-athletes is a primary concern. We strive to prevent injuries through pre-participation physical examinations, well-designed conditioning programs, warm-ups, proper practice planning, and appropriate equipment selection. When an athletic injury occurs, our goal is to provide the best medical care possible from the initial fi rst-aid to the follow-up care and rehabilitation.

FACILITIESThere are two Athletic Training Rooms in operation at the University of Dayton. The Arena Training Room is located in the Donoher Basketball Center and utilized by Arena Complex teams for practices and games. The Frericks Center training room is open year round and is utilized for treatment and rehabilitation to all sports in the mornings and serves those sports that operate out of the Frericks Center in the afternoon.

STAFFThe University of Dayton Sports Medicine Staff consists of a team of Family Practice Physicians and Orthopedic Consultants and four full-time and two graduate assistant certifi ed and licensed Athletic Trainers. In particular instances the Head Team Physician may refer athletes to other physicians or specialists. However, the Head Team Physician supervises the status of all athletes referred to other physicians or specialists and has the fi nal authority with regard to all medical disqualifi cations, treatment, and return to play. Referrals to specialists will be made through the Team Physicians or Athletic Trainers only.

Trained personnel are present at all athletic contests and, where possible, at all practices to insure prompt medical attention.

Dr. Sean Convery is in his ninth year heading up Dayton’s medical staff. Convery’s primary full-time position is serving as the medical director of The Sports Medicine Center at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. In addition, he is a

faculty member in the Family Practice Residency Program at Miami Valley Hospital; associate clinical professor in the Department of Family Practice at Wright State University School of Medicine; school physician for the Kettering City School District; and team physician at Kettering Fairmont High School.

The Sports Medicine Staff works closely with the coaching staff to keep them informed regarding the medical status of the athletes.

Former Flyer football standout Dr. Tim Quinn serves his alma mater as the orthopedic consultant for UD Athletics. A 1973 graduate, Quinn has been associated with the Flyers in this capacity since 1988. He was a two-time

First Team Academic All-America, and was chosen a National Football Foundation /College Football Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete in 1972. A versatile player, he was a starter at linebacker and on the defensive line in his career. He is also a two-time winner of UD’s John L. Macbeth Memorial Scholar-Athlete Award.

State-of-the-art conditioning centers, fully-equipped training rooms and full-time professionals combine to create a program for student-athletes that gives them a physical edge over the competition. Each UD team has a plan designed and administered by qualifi ed professionals to meet the specifi c needs of their sport and style of play. All student-athletes perform basic strength training with a general emphasis on explosive lifts that involve as much of the body as possible. Conditioning programs are designed to prepare student-athletes for the specifi c metabolic demands of their sport. Core training, agility work and sport specifi c exercises are then incorporated into each program to prepare each student-athlete for competitive success.

The UD strength & conditioning coaches work with out sports medicine staff to help reduce the risk of injuries and to effi ciently return student-athletes to competition as quickly and as safely as possible following injury. With four staff members holding the Certifi ed Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential, UD stays current on the latest research to insure that our programs are among the best in the country. In addition, the UD strength and conditioning staff can provide assistance in eating strategies that will improve health and competitiveness of UD student-athletes. The University of Dayton athletic conditioning centers, located both in the Frericks Center and the Donoher Basketball Center, house the very latest treadmills, Nautilus equipment, and free weights.

ADMINISTRATION

Daniel J. Curran is president of the University of Dayton, recognized as a top-tier national research university and one of the 10 best Catholic universities in the country. The Philadelphia native became the University of Dayton’s 18th president and fi rst lay leader on July 1, 2002.

By almost every measure — from enrollment to research dollars to rankings — the University of Dayton has grown in stature during his presidency. Since 2002, the University of Dayton has established centers of excellence in nanotechnology; fuels and combustion; ladar and optical communications; and advanced sensor technology. The University launched the nation’s fi rst accelerated law curriculum, started a doctor of physical therapy program and introduced one of the nation’s fi rst bachelor’s degrees in human rights studies.

The University also constructed an Innovation Center in the School of Engineering; built a sports complex; and opened the Dayton Early College Academy, a charter school on campus that prepares fi rst-generation college students to earn a high school diploma and college credits at the same time. In the residential arena, the University built two facilities that combine living and learning — Marianist Hall, a residence hall with learning spaces, and ArtStreet, an imaginative housing and arts education complex in the University neighborhood. RecPlex, an ultramodern fi tness and recreation complex, opened in 2006.

Curran’s forward-thinking, innovative approach also translates to the playing fi elds. As a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division I board of directors from 2004-2008, Dr. Curran helped shape academic reforms designed to improve the graduation rate of student-athletes. He also has served on the executive committee and Division I-AA/I-AAA Presidential Advisory Group and the Higher Learning Commission.

A sociologist by training, he is passionate about issues of social justice. In 2007, he received the Joseph E. Lowery Human Rights Legacy Award from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as well as the Humanitarian Award from the National Conference for Community and Justice of Greater Dayton for his “personal advocacy and energy toward building a more inclusive community.”

In 2005, Dr. Curran joined University of Dayton students on a relief trip to hurricane-stricken Mississippi. In 2002, he received the Eternal Flame Award, an international award given for “exceptional contribution to the fi eld of Holocaust education.”

Dr. Curran spent 23 years in various administrative and faculty positions at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, most recently as executive vice president and vice president for academic affairs.

Dr. Curran and his wife, Claire, have two sons, Sean and Aidan.

Daniel J. Curran is president of the University of Dayton, recognized as a top-tier national research university and one of the 10 best Catholic universities in the country. The Philadelphia native became the University of Dayton’s 18th president and fi rst lay leader on July 1, 2002.

By almost every measure — from enrollment to research dollars to rankings — the University of Dayton

A former Flyer student-athlete himself, Tim Wabler is the seventh man to serve as the University of Dayton’s Director of Athletics. As UD’s Vice-President and Director of Athletics, Wabler is responsible for the oversight of 17 intercollegiate athletics programs, on-campus athletic facilities including Baujan Field

and the Frericks Center, and the University of Dayton Arena with the surrounding Arena Sports Complex.

Wabler fi rst returned to the University’s Athletics Division as an administrator in 1993 as Associate Director Athletics. As Associate AD, Wabler worked in every area of athletics administration -- overseeing UD’s sports programs, student-athlete support services, development and major facility projects.

Since Wabler has been part of the Dayton Athletics Division, the Flyers have experienced signifi cantly improved competitive success. Since 1998, UD has had 26 conference championships and had 20 teams reach the post-season. In the nine years prior to 1998, the Flyers had only seven conference championships and one tournament appearance.

In the last two years, Dayton athletics has reached even higher heights. Flyer teams have combined to have their best winning percentage than any other period in school history and set milestones in several sports while still maintaining graduation rates that are among the highest in the country.

The highlights include the following: Women’s soccer has earned fi ve NCAA tournament appearances (including a berth in the “Sweet Sixteen” in 2001) and has won eight of the last 11 A-10 regular season championships. Women’s volleyball has earned four NCAA tournament appearances and has won nine A-10 titles (regular season and/or tournament). Men’s soccer has won fi ve A-10 titles and played in the 2008 NCAA tournament. The baseball team’s record for wins in a season was 25 after the 2000 campaign -- since then UD has won at least 30 games six times and won the A-10 regular season championship in 2009. And the Flyer football team has won the Pioneer Football League Championship nine times in the 16-year history of the league, and has taken home the 2002 and 2007 NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major National Championships.

As success on the fi eld has improved, UD student-athletes have also performed in the classroom. The Flyers’ combined cumulative grade point average has risen to a school-record 3.235. UD has had 34 Academic All-Americans in the last nine years. Only Nebraska, Rensselaer Poly and Rice had more. The Flyers had three Arthur Ashe Scholar-Athletes in 2005-06, the most in school history. Dayton is consistently among the league leaders in placing student-athletes on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, even though the Flyers participate in fewer A-10 sports than all but one school. UD had the most players on the PFL Academic Honor Roll for the ninth consecutive year in 2008.

Wabler is also the administrator who oversees UD’s athletic fund-raising efforts and long-term fi nances. Radio and television agreements have been expanded to increase exposure for Flyer athletics.

Wabler has been actively involved in numerous A-10 Conference committees, including the Championships Review Committee, Baseball Committee and Soccer Committee. His committee work also extends to service to the University community. He currently serves on UD’s Campus Master Planning Committee, and has been a past member of UD’s Committee on Diversity in Community and Resource Allocation Steering Committee. Wabler is also an NCAA Peer Reviewer and a member of the Greater Dayton YMCA’s Board of Trustees.

A 1974 graduate of UD’s School of Business Administration, Wabler has also completed the Sports Management Institute Executive Program. A former member of UD’s Athletic Board, Wabler was a four-year letterwinner and three-time Pitcher of the Year for UD. He served as team captain as a senior. A 1970 graduate of Chaminade High School in Dayton, Wabler is the fi rst Dayton native to serve as the University’s Director of Athletics. Tim and his wife Arlene have two daughters, Sarah and Leigh Anne.

A former Flyer student-athlete himself, Tim Wabler is the seventh man to serve as the University of Dayton’s Director of Athletics. As UD’s Vice-President and Director of Athletics, Wabler is responsible for the oversight of 17 intercollegiate athletics programs, on-campus athletic facilities including Baujan Field

HEAD COACHSECOND SEASON AT UD, EIGHTH SEASON OVERALLBALL STATE

KELLYSHEFFIELD

Just the seventh head coach in University of Dayton volleyball history, Kelly Sheffi eld has Flyer volleyball on course to remain one of the nation’s elite Division I programs.

In his fi rst season with the Red and Blue, Sheffi eld guided his program to a 21-13 record that included its sixth trip to the Atlantic 10 Championship match, and Dayton’s fi fth trip to the NCAA Tournament. 2008 marked the fi rst at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament in school history.

Wins over a nationally-ranked Illinois squad and momentous fi ve-set wins at the Frericks Center over Louisville and Northwestern set the stage for a run to the Atlantic 10 Championship Match in St. Louis. The Flyers capitalized on their out-of-conference wins, and a late 9-3 run heading into to the A-10 Tournament to solidify their spot in the Big Dance.

For the second time in as many years, the venerable Frericks Center played host to the opening round of the NCAA Championships. 1,674 of the Flyer Faithful passed through the turnstile to cheer on UD as they hosted Western Michigan.

In addition, Sheffi eld helped guide Dayton middle blocker Lindsay Fletemier to an American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-American Award in 2008 as well as a selection to the U.S. A2 Development Team.

He was appointed to the AVCA’s Board of Directors in 2009. Sheffi eld is currently serving a three-year term on the board overseeing the selection of all AVCA awards, Division I All-American meetings. He also communicates relative rules and regulation for the association’s awards and reviews proposals for new awards programs.

Determined to make the University of Dayton one of the NCAA’s most prominent volleyball programs, Sheffi eld has helped breathe new life into the historic Frericks Center. Following the 2008 season a $300,000 investment was made to give Frericks a major facelift. Among the biggest changes, a state-of-the-art Robbins Bio-Channel hardwood fl oor was installed and the rafters were cleared making for a brighter and more enjoyable environment for the fans.

“This is a big-time commitment to our program and to the players. Frericks now has one of the best fl oors in Division I volleyball. It will change the way we train and the recovery time should be much quicker for our team,” said UD volleyball head coach Kelly Sheffi eld. “From a recruiting standpoint, it is huge. When you walk in, you see only volleyball courts. There are not very many facilities in the country that you can say that about. Without question, it shows that volleyball at the University of Dayton is taken seriously.”

Sheffi eld, a native of Muncie, Ind., came to UD after seven seasons as the head coach at Albany. A two-time America East Conference Coach of the Year, Sheffi eld led the Great Danes to three trips to the NCAA Tournament including a berth in the second round in 2007. Albany won back-to-back Conference Tournament Championships under Sheffi eld and three titles in his last four years. Albany volleyball won 20 matches or more in four out of fi ve seasons.

Sheffi eld was a great developer of talent at Albany as he mentored the fi rst player in NCAA history to win a conference Player of the Year and Setter of the Year award in three consecutive seasons. That talent helped his 2006 squad to become the fi rst team in school history in any sport to host an NCAA Tournament contest when Minnesota, Saint John’s and Siena visited Albany for the First and Second Rounds.

Sheffi eld’s Great Danes were one of just two teams at the Division 1 level to continuously improve their RPI rating from 2000 to 2005, moving to number 40 in 2005 after occupying the 295-spot in 2000. Albany’s 2005 ranking represents the best in America East Conference volleyball history. The team also posted the best-ever winning percentage (.875) in the league.

Sheffi eld also spent time as the top assistant at Clemson University, where he handled the team’s ball control, defense and middle hitters. He served as scouting and recruiting coordinator at Clemson as well.

From 1998-2000, Sheffi eld was a fi rst assistant coach at the University of Virginia. He was responsible for scouting and game plans, assisted with recruiting and practice, and directed team travel. During his two-year stay at Virginia, the program earned its fi rst two appearances in the NCAA Tournament. In 1998, the Cavaliers fi nished with a 26-8 record, the second-highest victory total in the program’s history. Virginia ended the season ranked 23rd in the national RPI rankings. In his fi nal year, Virginia’s recruiting class was ranked sixth nationally by Volleyball Magazine.

Prior to his arrival at Virginia, Sheffi eld served as an assistant at the University of Houston in 1997. The Cougars captured their seventh consecutive NCAA berth and won the Conference USA Tournament.

In addition, he has extensive experience coaching junior volleyball teams. Sheffi eld was the head coach of the Houston Juniors from 1997-98 and Munciana (Ind.) Volleyball Club from 1989-97.

Sheffi eld began his coaching career at Muncie Burris High School, where he was a varsity assistant for a squad that won two state championships and a national championship. He also was an assistant at New Castle High School, a team that achieved a top-10 state ranking in the 1990s.

Sheffi eld was one of nine members of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Rules Committee from 2004-2007, and was chair of the committee in 2006-2007. He also represented the America East Conference on the Division I Head Coaches’ Committee. That group advises the AVCA on matters relating to Division I NCAA volleyball, such as legislation, recruiting, and ethics and conduct.

Sheffi eld earned his bachelor’s degree in general studies from Ball State University. He has also worked as an evaluator and court coach for USA Volleyball Junior National Team Tryouts.

Sheffi eld and his wife, Cathy, reside in Oakwood.

ASSISTANT COACHSECOND SEASON AT UDINDIANA STATE 2002

MATTAFFOLDER

Q&A WITHSHEFFIELD

Matt Affolder begins his second season as an assistant coach with the University of Dayton Flyers after helping the team to a 21-13 fi nish and its fi fth trip to the NCAA Tournament.

“I am glad to have Matt complete the Dayton volleyball staff,” Sheffi eld said. “He is a tireless worker with a tremendous enthusiasm for the sport. He is a very good teacher and trainer while bringing very strong technical and tactical knowledge of the game.”

Affolder’s responsibilities include opposition scouting, video editing and breakdown, statistical analysis, team travel and coordinating the Dayton Volleyball camps.

Affolder spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana University from 2004-2006. While serving as recruiting coordinator and coach of the outside hitters with the Hoosiers several IU individual program records were broken including career kills, freshman single-season kill record and single-season hitting percentage.

“I would fi rst like to thank Kelly (Sheffi eld) and the University of Dayton for this tremendous opportunity,” Affolder said. “It has always been a goal of mine to work alongside someone with passion and determination that Kelly has shown throughout his coaching career. It has also been a selfi sh goal of mine to work alongside one of my very best friends.”

Affolder also spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Illinois where he handled all aspects of recruiting while assisting with individual and team defense. The Salukis advanced to their fi rst-ever Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Final in his initial season on campus in 2002. The team also fashioned a 23-10 overall record that stood as the team’s best record in 17 years and was one win shy of the combined total of the previous three seasons (24-62). He also mentored the SIU single-season and career record holder in kills, attack attempts and digs while coaching one CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American and three MVC All-Conference selections.

“Matt has built solid relationships with the club and high school programs within the region and will be another strong recruiter on our staff,” Sheffi eld said. “He is also very skilled at scouting as well as video and statistical analysis. I have known Matt for more than 15 years and am pleased with the kind of person and coach we are adding at Dayton.”

A native of Decatur, Ind., Affolder spent three seasons as a volunteer coach at Indiana State working primarily with middle blockers and right side hitters. He trained fi ve MVC All-Conference selections and three MVC All-Newcomer picks at ISU. The Sycamores also earned three consecutive berths to the MVC Tournament during his time in Terre Haute.

Prior to Indiana State, Affolder spent three years as the head coach at Wapahani High School in Selma, Ind., from 1996-98. He posted a 73-36 record, including three sectional titles, two regional appearances, a Class A Elite Eight appearance in 1997 and a Final Four appearance in 1998. In 1998, he was tabbed as Class A North Coach of the Year

Affolder served as an assistant varsity coach at Muncie Central High School in Muncie, Ind., from 1993-95. He also served as the head freshman coach, leading his team to a 23-1 record in two years. While at Muncie Central, the varsity squad fi nished an impressive 101-10 and reached the Indiana High School Athletic Association Final Four in 1995.

Additionally, Affolder served as a coach for the Munciana (Muncie) Volleyball Club for seven years (1993-99). Under his watch, the team captured the 1998 USA Volleyball National Championship for the 16 & Under Club Division. He coached two additional Munciana teams to top 10 fi nishes nationally and trained 10 USA Volleyball All-Americans.

During his time as a high school coach, Affolder trained 20 Indiana All-State honorees and 10 high school All-Americans.

The Decatur native graduated from Bellmont High School and is a 2002 graduate of Indiana State University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He and his wife, Nicole, have two sons, Joshua and Tyler. The Affolder family resides in Centerville.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS SEASON AFTER EARNING THE PROGRAM’S FIFTH TRIP TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT?

With a new season, you want to try and indoctrinate the newcomers into the culture that we have here at the University of Dayton. We have incoming freshmen, transfers and players that were out last season with injuries so what we want to do immediately is to get everyone on the same page. It has been a little easier since everyone has been on campus over the summer, but I think that is something that we have to be able to do.

After that we have to try to improve every day. It is very cliché, but this is a team that has talent, but will be new to each other. It may take some time to get things worked out. However, our ultimate goal remains the same, to win Atlantic 10 championships and to advance to the NCAA Tournament and make a run. That has always been a goal of this program, and it will continue to be in the future.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE NEW ADDITIONS TO IMPACT THIS YEAR’S TEAM?

Amanda Cowdrey, our transfer from Albany, makes the game easier for people that are around her. She is a very complete player. She is good at every skill and has a complete game. I don’t know where she will be at on the court, but I am sure she will have a role somewhere. She has had a lot of success and has played as much volleyball as anyone around her. She has a great spirit about her and great competitiveness. She brings a lot to us, there are a lot of different roles she could fi ll for us.

Shayne Brown gives us a lot of depth in the middle. She’s very quick, she’s smaller than our other middles but she is quicker than anyone else in that position. She has a tremendous competitive spirit about her as well. She ups the competitiveness in our gym from the second she walks in there.

Paige Vargas helps our ball control immensely. We have a lot of people in the back court that are very good. She has played in a lot of high-level matches for her age. She will help our ball control and help get us get into our offense.

Hannah Clancy is another freshman that has played in a lot of big matches for her high school and her club. She has been working with our hitters on campus and I think she has a chance to be a very good player. She has a very high volleyball IQ and it makes the hitter’s jobs a lot easier. Offenses fl ow pretty well when she’s playing. She usually makes good decisions and her location is really, really good.

Frankly, our other newcomers include those who weren’t available to us last year either because of injury or being redshirted. Yvonne Marten, who was out the entire year rehabbing an injury and Rachel Krabacher, a redshirt last year, are two potential big time players for us this season. Yvonne is as competitive as it gets and she has to be driven after coming back from three ACL surgeries. She has that in her rearview mirror and she’s not paying attention to any of that. She is focused on getting out on the court and playing a big role for us. I think she is going to have a great season.

Rachel had all of 2008 to learn a lot and I think she could be as big of an impact as anybody on our team. She has really worked hard this summer and she is going to see a lot of sets this year for the Flyers.

THERE ARE A LOT OF VETERANS ON THE TEAM WITH EXPERIENCE IN BIG MATCHES AND POSTSEASON PLAY. WHO ARE YOUR LEADERS?

Chelsy Christoff is our lone senior, and obviously she has been around for a lot of years. She is going to be our organizer, she will help keep the team together and she is really good at that. She has played a lot of matches for us and has been infl uenced by a number of strong leaders in the past. She knows what it takes and the work ethic it takes to be a contender.

Our other two captains are Yvonne Marten and Rachael Broerman this season. Rachael has a bring it attitude and is a tough little cookie. She will not get cheated out of anything. She will go as hard as she can at whatever is in front of her. There is a certain spirit about her that her teammates feed off of.

Yvonne is the hammer. She drives and pushes and is a great example of that. Those are our three captains, but when I watch our team work, we have a lot of leaders in many different ways. Tiffany Gaerke is not a captain, but she is a leader in how she approaches everything. The same can be said for Becky Novacek and on down the line with players like Lindsay Fletemier. We have a lot of people that I would consider leaders even if they aren’t captains.

This team has a lot of drive. I see a team that most of them are accountable of themselves and I think that takes a certain amount of leadership.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR PLAYERS LIKE LINDSAY FLETEMIER, WHO COMPETED WITH THE US A2 TEAM IN THE SPRING, AND RACHEL KRABACHER, WHO COMPETED INTERNATIONALLY IN THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE IN CROATIA?

Lindsay has gotten a lot better each year that she has played. She went into the spring of 2008 and had surgery on her arm and stress fractures on her legs. Because of that she wasn’t able to train that spring or summer and went into the season and was still hurting. The goal of the season was to make it through the year in one piece for her.

Even with the obstacles she had a great season as an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American and an A-10 All-Conference selection. When she went to the A2 tryouts, I saw somebody that came back with a lot of enthusiasm and passion to a level she hasn’t had before. It is really critical, because she is a player that other teams tend to pay a lot of attention to. When that type of athlete is driven and is as motivated as she is right now, then it reverberates throughout the rest of the team.

At the tournament, she competed against some of the best competition in the country and improved every day. I think she is going to have a huge year. She has a lot of things still to learn, but she is very willing to take her game to the next level. That is exciting for everybody and I know she is as excited to play volleyball as she has ever been.

Rachel Krabacher keeps taking necessary steps to raise her game to the next level. She has gone out and looked for tougher competition. She traveled to Croatia this summer and played against different styles, which will only help her improve as a player. She had a great summer and she is capable of really big things.

It is neat to see players make decisions to dedicate their summer to improving on campus and seeking out new competition, and then going to Europe or trying out for the US National Team like three of our players (Fletemier, Gaerke and Krabacher)did. Great athletes in any sport seek out their competition and it is good to have a lot of players here that have that mindset.

TALK ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULING THIS SEASON. YOU ARE FACING A NUMBER OF TEAMS THAT ADVANCED TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT LAST FALL, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR WHEN SEARCHING FOR AN OPPONENT?

When we go into any season we try to schedule our games in a way that will help us achieve our goals. We wanted to get teams on our schedule that help us reach our goal of the NCAA Tournament and also have a strong enough slate to remain an at-large candidate.

We have a few teams scheduled that made it to the second weekend of the tournament last year. Also, almost everyone on our schedule should be better than they were last year. The majority of our competition returns a large amount of their team. Not only are there perennial teams, but there are also teams that will be exceptionally good this season.

We are going to get pushed and challenged right out of the gate. Every single tournament we play in will have stiff competition. There will not be a tournament that we won’t have to work to win. That is what we’re wanting, to take the court and play against really good teams.

With that said, I think we are capable of winning our games and it is a schedule that I am excited about and it will provide a variety of tests for our team. I am certainly looking forward to it.

Our conference schedule will be a little different since we will be playing more teams. The exciting part of our A-10 matches will be the level of competition. From top to bottom and this conference returns a number of their best players. We were probably hit the worst with as many seniors as we had, but every other team brings a lot of its players back. Last year was exciting for our conference, but this year will be even more so, because there are so many teams that will be better than what they were a year ago and it will be a great year for the A-10.

ASSISTANT COACHFIRST SEASON AT UDPURDUE 2007

VOLUNTEER ASSISTANTFIRST SEASON AT UD

DUKE 2007

BRITTANY DILDINE

CARRIE DE MANGE

University of Dayton volleyball head coach Kelly Sheffi eld announced the addition of Brittany Dildine to his coaching staff in the summer of 2009. Dildine [pronounced dill-DINE] serves as an assistant coach and also heads up recruiting efforts for the Flyers.

“We are very excited to bring Brittany into our program and as a member of our coaching staff. She brings with her the unique experience of competing at a very high level in two sports,” said Sheffi eld. “She has a very strong will to win, is passionate about the game of volleyball, and will be a great resource for our players in helping them get to the next level.”

Dildine was a two-sport athlete at Purdue University from 2003-2008 as member of the Boilermakers volleyball and women’s basketball teams. During her time as a volleyball player she helped Purdue to three NCAA Tournament appearances and two Sweet Sixteen visits. With the Boilermaker women’s basketball team, Dildine advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in the 2006-2007 season and the NCAA Second Round in 2007-2008.

“It feels wonderful to be a Dayton Flyer. This is a wonderful opportunity and I plan on embracing it to the fullest,” said Dildine. “Coach Sheffi eld and Coach Affolder are phenomenal coaches. I consider myself fortunate to be able to work alongside both of these established coaches. They have the team ready to achieve success.”

Dildine served as a volunteer assistant coach for the Gold and Black during the 2008 season, where she helped head coach Dave Shondell’s staff in scouting, training and practice. She also coached for the Performance Point Volleyball Club and Harrison High School Volleyball Club.

As a player, Dildine became the 10th Boilermaker in program history to reach 1,000 digs and ranks fi fth in all-time career digs with 1,243. She averaged 2.67 digs per set in her career, and tallied 142 aces and 226 kills. Dildine also notched double-digit dig tallies 60 times in her career, including 20-plus digs on eight occasions for the Boilers.

In the classroom, she excelled earning a pair of undergraduate degrees from Purdue. In 2007, she earned a bachelor of science in Organizational Leadership and Supervision and was one of three in her graduating class to earned the Outstanding Achievement Award from the OLS Department on campus.

University of Dayton volleyball head coach Kelly Sheffi eld welcomed Carrie DeMange (de-May-nge) to the staff in 2009. The 2007 ACC Player of the Year and Dayton native joined the Flyer volleyball program as a volunteer assistant coach.

“I am really excited that Carrie has decided to come back home to Dayton to join our staff. She had a great playing career and accomplished a lot. Carrie worked our summer camps and is a really good teacher of the game,” said Sheffi eld. “She is extremely passionate about the game and is really excited about beginning her career in coaching. I think she’ll be a great addition to the Flyer program.”

DeMange, a 2007 graduate of Duke University, joins the Flyers after serving as Director of Volleyball Operations for the Duke Blue Devils last season. She will serve as an assistant during home matches and practice while helping with community relations for the program.

DeMange played four seasons for the Blue Devils, including a remarkable senior campaign. In 2007, she captured ACC Player of the Year honors while setting a school-record 606 kills. DeMange led Duke to a 25-7 fi nish and a 19-3 mark in conference play as the Blue Devils made their third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

She fi nished her playing career as the ACC’s and Duke’s all-time career kills record holder with 1,976. She was equally effective on the defensive side of the ball tallying 415 digs and 97 blocks in her fi nal season. In addition, DeMange was a three-time Honorable Mention AVCA All-American and a three-time All-ACC selection.

A 2004 graduate of Alter High School, DeMange played with current Flyer Kacie Hausfeld’s sister Ali at Alter and Duke. DeMange holds Alter’s records for kills in a season (396) and kills in a career (1,264). Her career mark is also an Ohio High School Athletic Association record.

DeMange currently resides in Dayton, Ohio and also serves as a Graduate Assistant in the Markets and Management department at the University of Dayton while working towards her Masters in Business Administration.

2008YEAR IN REVIEW

Under the direction of fi rst year head coach Kelly Sheffi eld, the University of Dayton Flyers sought to defend their crown in 2008 as Atlantic 10 champions.

Dayton opened up the season with a three-game road tournament at Arizona State. The waiting did not take long as Sheffi eld earned his fi rst win as a Flyer in UD’s opening match against UNLV in which the Flyers downed the Rebels 3-1 (23-25, 25-18, 25-21, 26-24). 2008 Honorable Mention All-American Lindsay Fletemier hit a .684 clip in the match as Dayton sailed to a victory.

UD dropped the next two matches in the ASU Sheraton Classic, suffering defeats from South Carolina and Arizona State.

The friendly confi nes of the Frericks Center soon took over as the Red and Blue captured the Dayton Flyer Invitational after sweeping the tournament fi eld (Cleveland State, Towson and Northwestern). Erin Schroeder and Fletemier garnered all-tournament honors while senior middle blocker Bethany Akerhielm earned the Dayton Flyer Invitational MVP Award.

Akerhielm’s efforts on the weekend included a .385 hitting effi ciency, while averaging 2.29 kills per set. She posted one block solo and six block assists for the Flyers.

The previous weekend’s wins ignited Dayton’s offense in the Lady Vol Classic hosted by the University of Tennessee. In a momentous fi ve-set win over then No. 17 Illinois, the Flyers’ Fletemier notched 16 kills while Nicole Bateman picked up her third double-double of the season.

UD kept their sights trained on the competition, dispatching the Gardner Webb Bulldogs 3-0 before losing to the Tennessee Volunteers on the fi nal day in a 3-2 loss. Setter Erin Schroeder set a triple-double in the loss against the Lady Vols adding 10 kills, 55 assists and 22 digs. For the second consecutive weekend, Bethany Akerhielm was named tournament MVP.

Dayton returned to the familiar waters back home to host its second tournament of the season. The Flyers ushered in the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers, who were looking for vengeance after being defeated by the Red and Blue on their home court in 2007.

The match was a see-saw battle with the Flyers taking an early 2-1 edge in the match, however, the Boilermakers clawed back to win the match in the fi fth set (17-25, 26-24, 25-8, 23-25, 11-15). The loss, albeit a close one, would test the mettle of the Flyers for the entire weekend.

UD responded to the loss by dominating Miami (Ohio) 3-0 early on Saturday. That night, the Flyers completed the rebound, dispatching the Louisville Cardinals in a fi ve-set thriller to propel them to an 8-4 record in the non-conference play.

Nicole Bateman received all-tournament honors after posting her sixth double-double of the season against the Cardinals (23 kills, 16 digs) while Bethany Akerhielm picked got the nod for her performance notching 16 kills.

Momentum kept churning for Dayton as they knocked off Long Island University in three sets at the UAlbany Invitational. However, a devastating ACL injury to AVCA All-American Setter Erin Schroeder during the Yale match changed the course of the season in the blink of an eye.

2008YEAR IN REVIEW

With Schroeder sidelined for the remainder of the season, it was up to Kacie Hausfeld to take over the reins of the Flyer offense.

UD fell in the fi nal two matches of the UAlbany Invitational as the hitters became more comfortable with Hausfeld’s ball placement. The opening weekend of Atlantic 10 play for the Flyers was a strong test of will and determination in the face of adversity. Opening the season on the road, UD dispatched the George Washington Colonials in four sets and repeated the effort again at Charlotte on October 23.

Momentum was restored as Dayton went 6-2 with Hausfeld setting, before a pivotal showdown in St. Louis against the Saint Louis Billikens. UD was swept three sets to none in the match, but their relentlessness showed after beating the Xavier Musketeers 3-0 on the road.

Following the fi rst SLU showdown, Dayton went on a 5-2 run to fi nish second in the A-10West Division earning a berth in the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

After earning a bye out of the fi rst round of the tournament, the Flyers were slated in a rematch against the GW Colonials. Powered behind four service aces from Chelsy Christoff, UD made short order of the Colonials with a 3-0 win to advance to the championship match for the sixth straight season.

A-10 gold would not be in Dayton’s future despite a gritty effort from the Flyers’ in the fi nal match of the tournament as they fell in a three set loss at Chaifetz Pavilion in St. Louis.

Despite dropping their fi nal match to the Ohio Bobcats, the Flyers’ quality of wins and strength of schedule slated them as tournament host of the 2008 NCAA Volleyball Championship against the Western Michigan Broncos.

An attendance of 1,647 fans, the fourth largest in Frericks history, piled in for the contest for Dayton’s fi fth berth into the Big Dance and their fi rst at-large bid in program history. Despite a fi ery performance from the Flyers, UD fell 3-1 (25-21, 24-26, 23-25, 18-25) to fi nish the year with a 21-13 record.

L 2007A YEAR TO REMEMBER

Every successful program has a season that it will remember as its best ever. For some teams it is a once in a lifetime occurrence. For others it is the springboard to further success. The University of Dayton made the leap from conference champion to national power in 2007 with its best season in modern history in 2007.

UD posted a 33-2 overall record culminating with a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Flyers were ranked in the AVCA Top 25 Coaches Poll for the fi rst time ever and reached as high as 12th in the Poll at one point. Dayton won its fourth straight Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship and took home the Atlantic 10 Tournament Title for the fourth time in fi ve years. The Flyers also hosted NCAA First and Second Round matches for the fi rst time ever in front of sold-out crowds at Frericks Center.

Dayton started the season with wins over IPFW and Bowling Green before taking on Illinois for the championship of the season-opening Flyer Classic at the Frericks Center. The Flyers gave a crowd of 1,130 fans plenty to cheer about late in a thrilling come-from-behind win, 3-2 (30-28, 21-30, 23-30, 31-29, 15-7) over the Fighting Illini. UD fought off match point in the fourth game and won four straight rallies to force the deciding fi fth game. Despite being out hit .236 to .152 on the night overall, UD dominated when it counted with a .400 to -.353 margin in hitting percentage during the fi fth game.

Dayton Flyer Classic MVP Erin Schroeder dished out 42 assists to go along with 10 digs while helping to pull Dayton from defeat to a stunning victory over a Big Ten opponent. Redshirt freshmen Lindsay Fletemier and senior Jamie-Lee Richards each earned All-Tournament honors after fi nishing with 11 kills each. Fletemier added a team-best eight blocks on the night including fi ve in the deciding game. Richards added four service aces with two serving as the exclamation point to a Flyer comeback in game four.

After earning two votes in the AVCA Top 25 Coaches Poll, Dayton headed to West Lafayette, IN for one of the top non-conference tournaments in the nation, the Mortar Board Premier. UD proceeded to sweep host Purdue to mark the fi rst time in school history that the Flyers had defeated back-to-back opponents from the Big Ten Conference. The17th-ranked Boilermakers were also highest ranked team ever defeated in program history.

UD followed by outlasting Utah, which was receiving votes in the AVCA Top 25 Poll, and North Carolina in fi ve-game matches the following day behind solid weekends from MVP Bethany Akerhielm and All-Mortar Board Premier selections Erin Schroeder and Kortney Norris. The wins also lifted Dayton’s record to 6-0 and moved it into the Top 25 for the fi rst time ever.

UD would use a 10-1 run to pull within a point at 17-18 before XU responded with a kill. Barhorst answered for UD and the Flyers followed with a service ace courtesy of Pressler to knot the score at 19-all.

After Dayton took a 21-19 lead, XU rattled off fi ve consecutive points capped by a service ace to post a 24-21 lead. The Flyers once again showed their resilience and tied the score at 25-25 with a service ace of its own by Schott. The teams would trade the next fi ve points before Barhorst ripped a kill down the middle to knot the score for the fi nal time at 28-all. Pressler followed with a kill of her own to give the Flyers Championship Point for the second consecutive season. Barhorst closed out the match at 30-28 with a solo block as UD claimed its second Atlantic 10 Title in school history and became the fi rst team since 1999 to successfully defend the A-10 Title. Although it took a team effort to win an emotional Championship, Utnage was named the Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Tournament and was joined on the All-Tourney Team by Barhorst and Robynne Green. The win also made Horsmon 12-0 all-time in conference tournament play with six titles in six career appearances.

After a non-conference match with Cincinnati one week later, the Flyers gathered to watch the NCAA selection show to fi nd that they would face seventh-ranked Ohio State in their second ever NCAA Tournament appearance in Columbus along with 25th-ranked Ohio and Pittsburgh.

Looking to continue its season of repeats, Dayton could not beat a Big Ten team on its home fl oor for the second straight season as it fell to the Buckeyes in three games. Utnage completed her collegiate career with 16 kills, 13 digs and two blocks. Overall, the Flyers had 48 kills behind a 40-assist effort by Schott. Robynne Green made an impact in her fi rst NCAA Tournament match as the A-10 All-Rookie Team selection hit .348 with 10 kills and three blocks to go along with four digs.

The Flyers ended the season with a 23-9 record for its 10th consecutive winning season and fourth straight 20-win campaign. Dayton has won more matches in the past two seasons (49) than any other two-year period since 1987-88.

Utnage also secured a number of individual accolades as she won A-10 Player of the Year and AVCA Honorable Mention All-America honors. She was also named to the A-10 All-Academic Team and the CoSIDA Academic All-District Third Team

along with fellow senior Pressler. Utnage closed out her UD career as just the fi fth Flyer to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs with 21 double-doubles in her fi nal season.

Barhorst was also selected to the AVCA Honorable Mention All-America and the A-10 All-Conference teams after hitting .377 as a sophomore, which was the second best single-season mark in program history and ranked 28th in the nation. She also ranked 28th nationally in blocks with 1.47 per game while recording 46 solo blocks (4th best at UD) and 113 block assists (6th best at UD).

Robynne Green was named to the A-10 All-Rookie Team after beginning her career with 204 kills, 126 digs and 84 blocks on the year. She also ranked second on the team in service aces with 28.

Schott wrapped up the year with a career-high 1,239 assists which ranks ninth in school history. She already ranks third in program history in career assists at 3,013 after 26 matches with at least 30 assists in 2004. She also had 12 double-digit dig performances.

Treadway led the Flyers in kills posting 19, including her 1,000th career kill at UD in just three seasons. Treadway had eight of her 19 kills in game three with no errors and Kelly Scott served nine straight points to end the match with a 30-15 win.

To continue their winning streak the Flyers defeated Fordham, 3-0, and Barhorst earned Rookie of the Week honors for the second-consecutive week, her fourth for the season. The momentum was high around the Flyer locker room as UD swept Xavier 3-0. Snider recorded her 1,000th career dig as teammates Treadway and Utnage posted double-doubles while Barhorst added eight kills and nine blocks to record her third Rookie of the Week honor. Treadway received her third co-Player of the week award.

The win streak was snapped at seven by Temple on October 22 as the Owls took a 3-2 decision.

hitting percentage in game two and .000 in game three. Treadway also posted her 15th career double-double. Barhorst was named Rookie of the Week for the sixth time while holding the league-lead in blocks.

Dayton dropped a road match at Xavier before the Flyers rebounded with wins over Fordham and Rhode Island to close out the regular season at 12-2 in Atlantic 10 play and 23-9 overall. The Flyers fi nished second in the conference, one game behind fi rst-place Temple and drew George Washington in the semifi nal of the Atlantic 10 Volleyball Championship.

The Flyers entered the tournament the league’s most successful regular-season program, having made the Atlantic 10 Tournament fi eld in six of the previous eight years, but never winning it all. But 2003 would be different as the Flyers disposed of the third-seeded Colonials, 3-0, at McGonigle Hall. Treadway had a match-high 13 kills while Shanna Pressler had 11 and a .375 hitting percentage to lead all players. The Flyers fell behind to the Colonials early in the fi rst game, 10-5 and trailed 26-23 when Horsmon called timeout. Dayton regrouped and outscored the Colonials 7-2 the rest of the game to take it 30-28. In game two, the Flyers jumped out to a 6-1 lead before George Washington trimmed the lead to 20-18. But the Flyers reeled off four-straight points and coasted to a 30-20 win. Game three was all Dayton as the Flyers opened up to a 12-6 lead and polished off the Colonials, 30-20. The following night, the Flyers claimed their fi rst-ever Atlantic 10 Tournament Championship sweeping Temple, 3-0. Treadway was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament with 16 kills in the Championship match. Joining her on the All-Championship Team were Utnage and Barhorst. In game one, UD opened up a 19-14 lead and held the Owls at bay to take game one, 30-23. UD fell behind 8-2 in the second game, before regrouping to pull within one at 9-8. The two teams traded points fi ve times before UD reeled off three straight to take a 15-14 lead. Dayton established a 29-27 lead, but three-straight points by the Owls gave the top-seed the advantage. Treadway took over from there, with an assisted block sandwiched around two kills, including the game-winner as the Flyers won the second frame 33-31. The Owls controlled the third game, leading by as many as four on four different occasions. The Flyers rallied to tie the match at 22-22 and held a two-point lead at 27-25. The Owls would not go quietly, with two straight to tie before Treadway killed the Owls’ rally and a block by Christy Utnage gave the Flyers the victory. The win gave Dayton the Atlantic 10’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament, the fi rst trip to the Dance in UD’s history. Their op-ponent was Michigan State, a 19-11 at-large team out of the Big Ten. The Flyers

stunned the Spartans in the NCAA First Round by winning the fi rst two games and holding on for a 3-2 win at Jenison Field House. Pressler led UD with 20 kills while Treadway posted 16 kills and 11 digs. In the fi rst game, a 4-0 run gave Dayton an 18-17 lead, and UD extended it to 28-25 before putting the Spartans away, 30-26. Dayton opened to a 9-5 lead in the second game, before Michigan State regrouped to tie it at 9-9. The two teams traded points until a run by the Spartans established an 18-14 lead. State felt they weathered the storm and were on the verge of putting away the pesky Flyers with a 24-20 lead, but Dayton went on a 7-0 run to take a 27-24 lead and stun the crowd of 2,072. Gardner had two kills and Utnage recorded a block as the Flyers headed into the locker room with a 2-0 lead after another 30-26 win.

MSU refocused at the break and tied game three 9-9. Dayton used a 6-1 run to take a 15-10 lead. But State refused to let their season slip away, pulling within two at 17-15. An ace by Schott pushed the Flyers’ lead back out to four at 20-16, but again the Spartans rallied. MSU tied it at 26-26 and took their fi rst lead since 3-2 at 27-26, and held on for the 30-27 win. In game four, the Spartans led 10-7, before Dayton settled down and tied the game at 11-11. MSU surged ahead to lead 20-14. Utnage led the Flyers back with four kills and two aces to trail by a pair at 26-24. But the Spartans held on to force game fi ve, 30-25. Game fi ve was tied 4-4 before Gardner had three kills to put the Flyers up 9-5. A kill by Pressler gave UD a 12-6 lead forcing MSU to call a time out. With a 13-8 lead, Barhorst and Gardner posted back-to-back kills to give the Flyers their fi rst NCAA Tournament win.

Dayton didn’t have another upset in them, falling the following night to No. 9 Nebraska in the Second Round, 3-0. The Cornhuskers, who had participated in 22 of the 23 NCAA Tournaments for volleyball, proved to be too formidable opponent, sweeping UD out of the tournament.

The Flyers ended the season with a 26-10 record, the most wins for UD since 1996, and earned seven votes in the Final American Volleyball Coaches Associa-tion Top 25 Poll.

Individually Erin Treadway took home an armful of accolades, becoming the fi rst ever Atlantic 10 student-athlete in any sport to win the conference’s Player of the Year award, Most Outstanding Player award for the A-10 tournament, and A-10 Student-Athlete of the Year award. The AVCA named her First Team All-Region and All-America Honorable Mention. Faye Barhorst picked up AVCA All-Region honors and was named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year.
