TEXAS TECH LOOKS FOR REPEAT PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE MOUNTAINEERSAfter picking up their first Big 12 win of the season earlier this year at West Virginia, the Red Raiders will be looking for a similar performance Saturday when the Mountaineers make their first ever trip to Lubbock. The Red Raiders overcame a first-set deficit on Oct. 13 to defeat West Virginia, 3-1, in what was Tech’s first confer-ence road victory since topping Colorado on Nov. 20, 2010 in Boulder. Tech will be looking to sweep the season series with a Big 12 opponent for the first time since 2006 when the Red Raiders downed both Kansas and Texas A&M. A complete box score and recap of match can be found on page eight of the match notes.

UPCOMING SCHEDULEThe Red Raiders return to the road next week for a pair of matches at Oklahoma on Wednesday evening and then No. 22 Iowa State the following Saturday. Texas Tech closes the year with three of its final five matches at the United Spirit Arena, beginning Nov. 7 with TCU. The Red Raiders will also host Kansas State on Nov. 17 and Baylor on Nov. 21 to close out the home schedule.

RED RAIDERS FALL JUST SHORT OF UPSET BID OF NO. 14 KANSAS STATEA two-set deficit did not derail Texas Tech from nearly upsetting 14th-ranked Kansas State last Saturday in Manhattan. The Red Raiders, who dropped each of the first two sets, rallied with wins in the third and fourth to force a pivotal fifth set where the two teams were tied at 9-9 midway through the frame. Kansas State won the final six points, however, to escape with the victory. The Red Raiders advanced to a fifth set against a ranked opponent on the road for the first time since traveling to Oklahoma on Sept. 27, 2008. Tech was look-ing for its first win over a top-25 team since facing the Wildcats on Nov. 20, 2004, in Manhattan.

BRUMMITT ENTERS TOP 10 IN SINGLE-SEASON DIGSAfter transferring to Texas Tech last winter, Rachel Brummitt has already made quite the impact for the Red Raiders on the back row. The Plano, Texas native moved into the top 10 in single-season history at Kansas State as her 21 digs in the match moved her to 406 on the year which ranks eighth all-time. Brummitt passed Lisa Hilgers (1995), Sabrina Zenon (1989), and Sheila Solomon (1990) against the Wildcats. She now trails teammate Tory Vaughan by just three digs for seventh entering this weekend and is on pace to potentially snap the Tech record that was set in 2000 when Melissa McGehee recorded 448 total digs.

BRIEFLY … • Texas Tech announced last week that its originally-scheduled Nov. 9 non-conference match with New Mex-ico has been canceled. The Lobos will instead travel to Lubbock during the 2013 season. • The Big 12 Conference has five teams ranked in the top 25 or receiving votes in this week’s AVCA poll which marks the most for the league four season. No. 8 Texas leads the group that also includes No. 16 Kansas State, No. 17 Kansas, and No. 22 Iowa State. Oklahoma had also been receiving votes over the past six weeks before dropping completely out of the poll this week.• The Red Raiders are No. 87 in this week’s ratings percentage index (RPI) poll that is released every Monday leading up to NCAA postseason selections. Tech came in at No. 75 nationally in the first set of rankings that were released two weeks ago, marking a significant improvement in Don Flora’s first season where the Red Raiders were No. 93 in the opening rankings. • Texas Tech boasts one of the youngest rosters in the Big 12 as 15 of 18 Red Raiders who have appeared in a conference match so far are classified as either a freshman or sophomore.

The two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week has also recorded the second-highest dig total in the Big 12 this season after finishing with 34 against Houston Baptist in the Rice Invitational opener. • Tory Vaughan enters this week among the leaders in digs among active Big 12 players as the senior has totaled 849 over her four seasons which ranks sixth in the conference. • Emily Ruetter’s 71 assists against Houston Baptist during the Rice Invitational ranks as the most for a Big 12 player this season as Erin Mcnorton (Kansas) and Hannah Allison (Texas) are the only other setters to register 60 or more assists in a match.• Ruetter enters this weekend ranked fifth in the Big 12 with a 10.02 assists per set average. She is the confer-ence leader among freshman setters as Oklahoma’s Julia Doyle is averaging 9.75 assists per set while West Virginia’s Brittany Sample has recorded a 9.38 per frame average.

MILLS BECOMING A FORCE IN THE MIDDLEMikia Mills headed into the Kansas State match coming off two of her best performances of the season as the sophomore has totaled 15 kills and 11 blocks during the previous week. She matched her career high with eight kills at West Virginia and then came close to matching it again when she finished with seven against Oklahoma. In addition to her offensive numbers, Mills has also been instrumental at the net as she recorded seven blocks against the Mountaineers and four against Oklahoma. Mills’ emergence has helped play a key role for the Red Raiders, who have been without junior middle blocker Aubree Piper for the last five matches.

EHRLE BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER TO REACH 200-KILL MARKWith her six kills at West Virginia, Emily Ehrle became the first Red Raider to reach the 200-kill mark this year as she has totaled 208 entering this weekend. The Crowley, Texas native is the sixth Red Raider since 2000 to record at least 200 kills as a freshman, joining Kelly Johnson (2001), Kiley Lyons (2003), Amy Gandy (2004), Amanda Dowdy (2008), and Breeann David (2011). Fellow freshmen Lydia McKay and Meghan Stacy have a chance to join Ehrle as they have recorded 156 and 160 kills, respectively.

HRAGYIL, STACY COME OFF THE BENCH TO SPARK RED RAIDERS IN WINPart of Texas Tech’s success at West Virginia stemmed from the play of its bench, specifically Nicole Hragyil and Meghan Stacy. Hragyil moved from a back row substitute to setter to start the second set while Stacy was inserted on the outside as an offensive boost. Both delivered as Hragyil recorded her first career double-double with 30 assists and 10 digs while Stacy connected on 10 kills to go along with a .296 hitting percent-age. Stacy’s 10 kills marked her most during Big 12 play this year as she reached double digits for the first time since dropping a season-high 16 on Sept. 14 against Houston Baptist. Hragyil, meanwhile, posted sea-son highs in both categories as she reached double digits in digs for the third time in her career. Both players were in the starting lineup Wednesday evening when Tech fell in straight sets to Oklahoma.

RED RAIDERS BOAST BALANCED ATTACKWith her five kills at Baylor, Breeann David became the sixth Red Raider to reach the 100-kill mark this sea-son, joining freshmen Emily Ehrle, Lydia McKay, and Meghan Stacy along with junior Aubree Piper and senior Miara Cave. Texas Tech has not previously had six or more players reach 100 kills in a season since 2001 when seven players did so en route to the school’s most recent NCAA Tournament appearance. Ehrle leads the balanced attack with a team-high 208 kills followed by Cave with 180 and Stacy with 160. McKay and Piper round out the group with 156 and 148 kills so far while David now has 123 on the year after con-necting on 12 kills last weekend at Kansas State.

STEPPING UP THE MIDDLEPrior to this season, one of the main aspects Don Flora wanted to improve in the Texas Tech attack was the play in the middle. The Red Raiders attacked primarily from the outside during his inaugural campaign on the Tech bench but have looked more to the middle this season with returning junior Aubree Piper and emerging freshman Lydia McKay. The two middles enter this week ranked among the top 10 in the Big 12 for hitting percentage with Piper recording a .309 average and McKay trailing slightly with a .295 percent-age. The two, along with fellow middle blocker Mikia Mills, have combined for 351 kills so far this season, 33 percent of Tech’s team total which is vast improvement from a year ago where Tech received only 20 percent of its kills from the middle. Tech has not had two or more middle blockers post 100 or more kills in a season since Piper and Barbara Conceicao combined for 255 in 2010.

DAVID SEES FIRST FULL ACTION BACK AGAINST KANSASDespite having played briefly in two matches since returning from injury, Breeann David made her full re-turn to the court against Texas as the sophomore connected on 10 kills over three sets. David was Texas Tech’s leader in kills prior to suffering an ankle injury early in the first set against Towson on Sept. 7. Since then, she has played just a few points in Tech’s first two Big 12 matches against Kansas and TCU. The Denver City, Texas native has primarily played three rotations since returning from injury.

TEXAS TECH RECORD WHEN...RED RAIDERS RECEIVING MORE ATTENTION UNDER FLORADon Flora’s hiring at Texas Tech has not only resulted in more wins for the Red Raiders but it has also brought more recognition to the program as well. In the 15 seasons prior to his arrival, Texas Tech had only been honored with a Big 12 weekly recipient 12 times with the most recent being Amanda Dowdy in 2008. That all changed in 2011, though, as the Red Raiders picked up three conference weekly awards en route to a 15-17 season that marked the most wins since 2001. Tech has picked up right where last season left off as well as the Red Raiders are 11-3 and have already received four weekly accolades from the league, giving Flora seven in a little over a season.

EHRLE BECOMES LATEST RED RAIDER TO EARN A BIG 12 WEEKLY AWARDEmily Ehrle joined Rachel Brummitt and Emily Ruetter as Big 12 weekly award recipients on Sept. 10 as she was named the conference Rookie of the Week for her play at the Montana Tournament. The freshman to-taled 46 kills over four matches, including double digit totals over the final two contests against Furman and Montana. She hit .293 over 14 sets, including a .432 mark against Furman where she connected on a career-high 23 kills. The performance marked the first time a Tech player had reached the 20-kill mark this season and was also the most kills since Amanda Dowdy recorded 26 on Sept. 26 last year at New Mexico. The selec-tion marked the third-straight week a Red Raider had earned a conference award, a first in school history.

TOWSON SNAPS TEXAS TECH’S SEASON-OPENING WINNING STREAKTexas Tech’s loss to Towson to start the Montana tournament snapped an eight-match winning streak to start the season for the Red Raiders, who were off to their best start since 2003. The Red Raiders had started a season with eight-straight victories only seven times previously in school history. Tech also opened the 2011 season with a solid start as the Red Raiders were 13-1 with the only loss coming in the season opener at TCU.

BRUMMITT REPEATS AT BIG 12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKRachel Brummitt became the first Tech player to earn a Big 12 weekly in consecutive weeks on Sept. 4 when the sophomore was named the conference Defensive Player of the Week. Brummitt, who took the award after the opening weekend of the season as well, snapped the Tech school record for most digs in a three-set match against San Jose State as she finished with 27, topping the previous record of 24 that was set by Sheila Solomon on Nov. 16, 1990, against Houston. The Plano, Texas native was named to last weekend’s Lonestar Showdown all-tournament team as she finished with a team-high 60 digs to go along with four aces.

RUETTER ALSO HONORED AS CONFERENCE ROOKIE OF THE WEEKJust like Rachel Brummitt, freshman Emily Ruetter was also honored by the Big 12 on Sept. 4 as she was named the conference Rookie of the Week. Since taking over the setter role at the beginning of the season, Ruetter has led a balanced Tech attack as she is sixth in the Big 12 with a 9.60 assists per set average that also ranks second in the league among freshman setters. She finished with 111 assists to go along with 21 digs and seven blocks during the Lonestar Showdown en route to becoming the first Tech setter to earn a confer-ence weekly award since Lisa Hilgers on Nov. 16, 1998.

RED RAIDERS WIN LONESTAR SHOWDOWN CROWNTexas Tech’s success in tournament formats continued this past weekend as the Red Raiders defended their home floor to win the Lonestar Showdown title after sweeping both Texas-Pan American and San Jose State before holding off Northwestern State with a 3-1 victory in the finale. The Red Raiders are 38-9 during the Big 12 in home tournaments and 6-0 under head coach Don Flora, who has led Tech to its five tournament titles already in his two-year tenure. Tech is 21-4 when playing in a tournament setting under Flora.

DAVID SHINES IN FRONT OF HOME CROWDBreeann David led the Red Raiders with 31 kills and 18 blocks en route to earning MVP honors of the Lon-estar Showdown. The sophomore also totaled a pair of aces and 29 digs as she posted her first double-double of the season and second of her career with 14 kills and 12 digs in the finale against Northwestern State. David also recorded a career-high seven blocks against the Lady Demons and hit a season-high .375 as well. She followed up the performance with another double-double Monday against North Texas where the Denver City native recorded 16 kills and 16 digs to help the Red Raiders overcome an early deficit and take a 3-1 victory.

BRUMMITT EARNS BIG 12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK AFTER IMPRESSIVE DEBUTRachel Brummitt was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Aug. 27 after earning MVP honors at the Boston College Invitational. The sophomore totaled 68 digs and eight aces from the libero position, which was the most among Big 12 players that weekend in both categories. The Plano, Texas native was the first Tech player to receive a conference weekly award since Tory Vaughan was also honored as the defensive player of the week on Oct. 31 last year.

PIPER, RUETTER NAMED TO BOSTON COLLEGE INVITATIONAL ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMAubree Piper and Emily Ruetter were both named to the Boston College Invitational all-tournament team after helping lead the Red Raiders to their first 4-0 start to a season since 2003. Piper was a dominating pres-ence for the Red Raiders in the middle, finishing with 30 kills along with a team-high .397 hitting percentage to go along with 18 blocks. Ruetter, meanwhile, was Tech’s primary setter throughout the weekend, totaling 141 assists (8.81 per set) and two double-doubles after recording 32 digs.

FLORA GOES WITH YOUNG LINEUP IN BOSTONDon Flora certainly was not kidding when he said prior to the season that the Red Raiders would likely use a rotation composed primarily of freshmen and sophomores. The second-year head coach proved his point at the Boston College Invitational as the Red Raiders started at least four newcomers in every match, with

TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALL

the Binghamton and Boston College lineups including four freshmen and a pair of sophomores.

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 newcomers spread throughout the roster. Don Flora and his staff added nine freshmen to the roster in the offseason to go along with trans-fers Rachel Brummitt and Ciara Gibson. Brummitt transferred from Radford University while Gibson redshirted the 2011 season after playing her first two seasons at 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 respec-tive 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 bor-der 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 Defensa Volleyball Club, one of the top club programs in the country. The Burlington, Ontario native was a member of the 17-under Canada Selects team that won the 2011 national title before play-ing 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 ex-pected to compete for Tech’s starting setter job, is the first Canadian-born player for Tech since current director of operations Amy Gandy .

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 con-tinue 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 Ten-nessee-Martin (+13). Prior to his arrival, 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 finished 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.

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 being 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.

Don FloraHead Coach 2nd Season

University of La Verne ‘90, ‘00Career Record: 296-88 (13) At Tech: 27-29 (2)

@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 296-88 in 12-plus 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 10 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.

TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALL

LAST MEETING WITH WEST VIRGINIAMORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Texas Tech scored its first Big 12 win of the season Saturday as the Red Raid-ers overcame an early first-set deficit to defeat West Virginia, 3-1 (19-25, 25-10, 25-22, 26-24), at the WVU Coliseum.

The win snapped a nine-match losing streak for the Red Raiders (12-10; 1-5), who also recorded their first Big 12 win on the road since topping Colorado on Nov. 20, 2010, in Boulder.

“This is a very important step for us,” Tech head coach Don Flora said. “To look at the team and say `this is how we are going to go about this’ and for them to stick with it was huge. After losing that first game, for us to come back and win in four was a re-ally good win for us.”

After struggling with attacking errors through the early part of league play, the Red Raiders totaled just 20 against the Mountaineers (8-13; 0-7) en route to finishing with a .236 hitting percentage, Tech’s high-est average in a conference match since hitting .294 in a 3-2 loss against Colorado on Oct. 13, 2010.

Miara Cave led the Red Raiders with 15 kills on the right side as the senior totaled a .303 hitting percent-age after recording just five errors off 33 attempts. She also notched six digs and a pair of blocks as well.

Following the first set loss, Flora turned to his bench for a lift and both Meghan Stacy and Nicole Hragyil delivered. Stacy connected on 10 kills, her most in Big 12 play this year, while Hragyil recorded her first career double-double with 30 assists and 10 digs.

“We’re in that midseason lull with some people physically,” Flora added. “We talk about the emotion-al balance and who is going to add a positive spark. Some people came in and gave us a nice lift and it was nice to see Meghan Stacy and Nicole Hragyil do that.”

Mikia Mills also added a career-high eight kills to go along with seven blocks while Lydia McKay also chipped in seven kills from the middle as she hit .316 overall with just one error off 19 attempts.

Tech out-blocked the Mountaineers, 10-7, in the match as Stacy also added four stuffs for the Red Raiders while McKay recorded three as well. Ra-chel Brummitt anchored the back row with 20 digs, marking the seventh time this year she has reached the 20-dig plateau.

West Virginia wrapped the match with a .145 hitting percentage, the lowest for a Big 12 opponent under Flora. Elzbieta Klein led the Mountaineers with 14 kills while Hannah Sackett and Nikki Attea added 13 and 11 each, respectively.

Tech was previously 3-7 this year and 4-21 under Flora when losing the opening set. It also marked the first time Tech had overcome a first-set deficit in league play under Flora.
