RED RAIDERS IN SEASON OPENERSDespite losses to start the past three seasons, Texas Tech has traditionally fared well in season openers as the Red Raiders are 28-12 all-time. Tech fell 3-1 in its 2011 opener at TCU that marked the first match of the Don Flora era. The Red Raiders have posted only one season-opening victory since 2005 which came in 2008 when Tech topped North Texas, 3-0, in the Mean Green Classic.

THE SERIESOf the four teams in this weekend’s Boston College Invitational, Texas Tech has faced only Fordham previ-ously in school history. The Red Raiders swept the Rams, 3-0, in the only meeting between the two schools which took place Sept. 7, 2007 to start the Syracuse Tournament.
UPCOMING SCHEDULEThe Red Raiders open their 2012 home schedule next weekend when they host the Lonestar Showdown presented by Under Armour. The two-day tournament will match Tech against Texas-Pan American, San Jose State, and Northwestern State. After concluding the tournament on Sept. 1, the Red Raiders will turn around two days later to face North Texas to conclude a four-match homestand.
RED RAIDERS MAKE FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTHEAST SINCE 2007This weekend’s season-opening trip to the Boston area is believed to be the first time Texas Tech has ever played in the state of Massachusetts. It also marks the first time the Red Raiders had traveled to the northeast since participating in the Syracuse Tournament in 2007. Tech went 2-1 with wins over both Fordham and Princeton before falling to the host Orange in four sets to conclude the tournament.
TEXAS TECH HITS THE COURT FIRST AMONG BIG 12 SCHOOLSTexas Tech will be the first Big 12 Conference school to open the 2012 season Friday when the Red Raiders battle Fordham at 9 a.m. CT in the first of 10 matches among league members scheduled throughout the day. Only new conference member West Virginia will have played a match prior to the Red Raiders returning to the court later in the afternoon to face Binghamton at 4 p.m. CT.
RED RAIDERS LOOK TO CONTINUE NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS UNDER FLORAIn only his first season, Don Flora was able to lead the Red Raiders to their best start to a season since 2000 when Tech went 13-1 over the first month with the only loss coming in the opener at TCU. The Red Raiders rolled off 13-straight victories from that point, marking the school’s longest winning streak since 1996. Tech will once again be looking for a similar performance against the non-conference slate this season after the Red Raiders combined to go 14-2 outside of league play a year ago. The Red Raiders finished just one win shy of .500 with a 15-17 record that marked the program’s most victories since 2001.
CAVE NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 TEAMMiara Cave was Texas Tech’s only honoree on the Big 12 Preseason Team that was announced prior to the season. The senior was one of 15 conference players honored in a vote by the league coaches after totaling 298 kills a year ago to go along with a .231 hitting percentage. The selection marked the third-straight season a Red Raider has been represented on the preseason team after Amanda Dowdy garnered the accolade the past two years.

NEW FACES HIGHLIGHT 2012 ROSTERPossibly the most noticeable feature of the 2012 version of the Red Raiders will be the amount of newcom-ers spread throughout the roster. Don Flora and his staff added nine freshmen to the roster in the offseason, not including redshirt freshman Tori Jobe, who transferred to Tech last winter from Long Beach State. Rachel Brummitt and Ciara Gibson round out a group of 12 newcomers after Brummitt transferred from Radford University while Gibson redshirted the 2011 season after transferring from Kentucky State. This marks the second-straight season Flora has used a large recruiting class after having 12 newcomers a year ago.
CAVE, VAUGHAN RETURN FOR SENIOR SEASONTexas Tech seniors Miara Cave and Tory Vaughan will look to wrap their respective careers on a winning note in 2012. The two San Antonio natives have both been regulars in the Tech rotation since stepping foot on campus as freshmen in 2009. Since then, Cave has turned into one of the top right-sides in the Big 12 while Vaughan has played an important role as Tech’s libero over two seasons. Out of Tech’s 21-player roster, only Cave and Vaughan, along with junior Aubree Piper, have lettered more than one season.
O’CANADAFor the first time since 2007, Texas Tech will boast a player from north of the border in freshman setter Emily Ruetter. One of the top setters throughout Canada the past four years, Ruetter arrives at Tech after lettering at Nelson High School all four seasons while also playing for several of the top club programs in the coun-try. The Burlington, Ontario native was a member of the 17-under Canada Selects team that won the 2011 national title before playing up on the 18-under division at the Ontario Provincials (equivalent to a state championship) where she was named the tournament MVP. Ruetter, who is expected to compete for Tech’s starting setter job, is the first Canadian-born player for Tech since current director of operations Amy Gandy in 2004-07.
RED RAIDERS ADD TWO TRANSFERS IN BRUMMITT AND JOBEDon Flora added immediate depth to his roster last winter when Tori Jobe (Amarillo, Texas/Long Beach State) and Rachel Brummitt (Plano, Texas/Radford) chose to transfer to Tech. With the departure of Karlyn Meyers to graduation, Jobe quickly entered the setter picture throughout the spring while Brummitt, a first team All-Big South Conference pick as a freshman at Radford University, stepped in to compete with returning starter Tory Vaughan at the libero position. Jobe will have four years of eligibility remaining after redshirting her freshman season at Long Beach State, while Brummitt still has three years remaining.
TEXAS TECH SPORTS NEW LOOK IN 2012For the first time in recent memory, Texas Tech will sport a new look in 2012 as the Red Raiders will switch to long-sleeve uniforms. The Red Raiders will continue to have three color options in black, red, and white with all three made by Texas Tech’s official uniform provider, Under Armour. One other change to the uniform is across the front where the usual Double T logo has been replaced by the spelling of “Texas Tech.”
FLORA HAS RED RAIDERS MOVING UP AFTER ONLY ONE YEARDon Flora’s presence on the South Plains was quickly noticed a year ago when he led the Red Raiders, who were 4-25 overall in 2010, to a 15-17 record that marked the program’s most victories since 2001. Not a bad start for the first-year head coach. Tech’s 11-match win differential between the two seasons ranked third overall in the nation last year, falling only behind Samford (+15) and Tennessee-Martin (+13). Prior to his ar-rival, the Red Raiders had combined to win just 11 matches over the previous three seasons.
BIG 12 COMING OFF BANNER YEARThe Big 12 Conference is coming off possibly its best season in league history after sending seven teams to the postseason in 2011 and recording the nation’s top RPI (ratings percentage index). The conference fin-ished with five teams ranked in the top 30 of the RPI, including two in the top three with Texas ranked second and Iowa State a spot below. The league’s seven postseason selections marked the Big 12’s most since 2005 and the second-most nationally.

TEXAS TECH RECORD WHEN...RED RAIDERS PICKED EIGHTH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLIn order to advance to the postseason for the first time since 2001, Texas Tech will have to do better than its preseason poll prediction as the Red Raiders were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team Big 12 Conference in a vote by the league coaches. Texas, which has won the conference title in four of the past five seasons, was a unanimous selection to defend its Big 12 crown from a year ago with Iowa State and Kansas State be-ing picked second and third, respectively. Oklahoma, Baylor, Kansas, and TCU rounded out the picks in front of Tech, while new league member West Virginia was the only school picked behind the Red Raiders in a unanimous selection.

Don FloraHead Coach 2nd Season
University of La Verne ‘90, ‘00Career Record: 284-76 (12) At Tech: 15-17 (1)
@CoachFloraTTU
In only one season as the head volleyball coach at Texas Tech, Don Flora has already revitalized a once storied program.
Flora was named the eighth volleyball coach in school history on Jan. 7, 2011, and immediately hit the ground running, leading the Red Raiders to a 15-17 record, the program’s most victories since 2001. It also marked the third-largest win differential in the country (+11) from the 2010 to 2011 season after inheriting a program that was just 4-25 the year before.
Not bad for a first-year head coach who inherited a program that had only won 11 matches over its previous three seasons combined. Flora led the Red Raiders to that total in only his second month.
Flora is 284-76 in 12 total seasons as a collegiate head coach as he remains one of the winningest active coaches with 10 years of experience at any level of NCAA play.
In his 12 seasons as a head coach, Flora’s only other losing season came during his inaugural campaign at the University of La Verne (Calif.) when the Leopards similarly finished just two matches below .500 with a 12-14 mark. Flora led La Verne to 20 or more wins in nine of his next 10 seasons.
The California native will look to do the same at Texas Tech as he enters the 2012 season, his second on the South Plains, with a young roster composed of 11 newcomers coming mainly from his first true recruiting class that spanned the Western Hemisphere as well as the state of Texas.
Flora and his staff traveled to Canada to sign setter Emily Ruetter and then reached the Midwest with the ad-dition of Brianna Grant out of Illinois and Meghan Stacy from Missouri. He also stayed close to home with the signing of Emily Ehrle from Crowley, Texas, who was the first of five other true freshmen to join the program.
Red Raider fans took notice in only his first year as Tech averaged more than 800 fans in 2011, around a 15 percent increase from the year before. Tech broke the 1,000 fan mark three times, including a season high 1,413 on Nov. 9 against No. 8 Texas that was the largest announced attendance since 1,468 fans saw the Red Raiders face top-ranked Nebraska.
Flora came to Tech following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at New Mexico State where the Aggies, consistently one of the top programs nationally, compiled a 38-22 record. Flora was responsible for recruiting activities, practice instruction and game strategy and was involved in the daily development of the overall program under head coach Mike Jordan.
La Verne posted at least 20 wins in nine-straight seasons beginning in 2000 as the Leopards claimed nine-straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) titles. During Flora’s tenure, the Leopards were 140-10 in SCIAC matches, boasting an impressive .933 winning percentage helped in part by five undefeated 14-0 campaigns in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008.
As the success kept building early in Flora’s tenure, so did the achievements at the national level. In only Flora’s fourth season, the Leopards wrapped a near-perfect 27-1 season with the 2001 NCAA Division III National Title, the second in school history.
The title run earned Flora the Division III National Coach of the Year honor by both the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and Volleyball Magazine. He was also named the AVCA West Region Coach of the Year, an award he was presented three more times following the 2003, 2005, and 2008 seasons.
With a national title under his belt, Flora’s success kept rolling as the Leopards eventually posted their first 30-win season in 2003, which began a streak of three-straight seasons where La Verne advanced to the NCAA Final Four. The Leopards posted a school-record 33 wins a season later.
The Leopards posted 27 wins in each of Flora’s final three seasons at the school, which culminated in another national title match appearance in 2008. Unlike 2001, however, La Verne was topped in the championship, falling to Emory in four sets.
Flora graduated with a degree in social sciences from La Verne in 1990 before later returning to the classroom to earn his masters in the Leadership and Management curriculum in 2000. Flora, a native of Covina, Calif., and his wife, Jeanne, currently reside in Lubbock with their two daughters, Annika and Alexis.
