In the 2001 season the Mastodons struggled going 9-15 overall and 8-8 in the MIVA.“Last season we had no senior leadership and with the move to Division I it is hard to

reload year after year,” Coach Arnie Ball said. A lot will depend on experience andleadership to guide the Mastodons to a successful 2002 season.

Over the years, IPFW men’s volleyball teams always have had talent throughouttheir rosters. The 2002 Mastodons feature two ingredients that have been in shortsupply in the past: depth and height. “Every year we learn a lot. This past summer weset a goal for our players. Some have reached the goal quickly while others still need

to work more,” Ball said.Once again, the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship has eluded Ball in 2001.

IPFW has never won the NCAA championships, but have finished third twice and wasfourth twice. The Mastodons haven’t been to the Final Four since 1999. Ball will relyon a mix of veterans and newcomers in its quest to get to the 2002 NCAA

Championship at Penn State University. Many of the returnees have been moved to new positions.

Here is a position-by-position look at 2002 IPFW men’s volleyball:Setter

IPFW has a new setter from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in Dennis Santiago. Santiago has been setting for only a few years and hasgreat ball control and a passion to win. Ball said, “He is a pleasure to coach and his block ranks up there with one of our middles,Arcangel Ruiz. He is very quick and aggressive while enjoying every minute he is on the court. He will be a very exciting player towatch and coach for years to come.”

Middle BlockerThis year the Mastodons have two solid middles in senior Josh Sanders and junior Arcangel Ruiz. These two will be key leaders in

this young team. Sanders saw action in 24 matches in 2001 and averaged 1.27 blocks per game to complement a .301 hittingpercentage. Ruiz appeared in 24 matches and was second on the team with 254 kills and 102 blocks.

According to Ball, “The middle is the position that concerns us the most in terms of depth. Both Sanders and Ruiz will have to bework horses on this year’s team, since we have no back-ups.”

Jason Morgan who is a freshman from Plymouth, Minn., has played a lot of middle in the past but could see action at the outsidehitter position. Freshman Mike Semrad, a 6-10 middle hitter, will be red-shirted this season to help on his hitting and blocking skills.

Outside HitterJeff Ptak and Matt Zbyszewski both look to build on last year’s success. Ptak, a first-team All-MIVA, finished 2001 with 482 kills

and a team-leading 1,044 total attacks in 24 matches. He proved to be a true all-around player, finishing third on the team in blocks(63) and service aces (21) while ranking in the top for kills/game with 5.88. Ball said, “Ptak is one of our most experienced players.He is a good ball-control player, passes well, and plays good defense.” He also helps keep the group loose when it’s needed.”

At 6-4, Zbyszewski is the shortest at the outside position. Zbyszewski emerged as a consistent player, as the only freshman to startat the outside position last season. He also provided 55 blocks and 251 kills. “Technically, Matt is solid and probably the mostconsistent player for us this season,” Ball said. “His passing is outstanding, but this fall he had a setback injuring his knee. I look forsilent leadership from him.”

Matt McCarter is also a nice addition to the volleyball program. “Even though he has a lot of potential, McCarter will send timeimproving his passing and hitting,” Ball said.

Opposite HittersFreshman Mitch Dreisbach will be looked upon to provide the team with depth. Known for football, Dreisbach will see a lot of

playing time this season to help improve his ball-handling skills and defensive blocking for the Mastodons. Ball said, “Dreisbach hasbeen a pleasant surprise and, with a great work ethic toward the game of volleyball, should be a nice addition.”

LiberoThis year we have four players who will battle for the libero position. Senior Aris Eracleous, junior Rhyen Staley, sophomore

Dustin Sherman, and freshman Nick Belman could all see lots of playing time. Last year Staley was IPFW’s starting setter and willstill be the back-up to Dennis Santiago. The work ethic of these four will determine who will play an important part, both offensivelyand defensively.

IPFW will have a tough test early, opening at home against Long Beach State. The Mastodons will then play six matches at homeagainst MIVA Conference opponents in a crucial stretch that could make or break the team. “The schedule starts out tough and doesnot get any easier because no teams are weak,” Ball said. “You can’t just show up and expect to win without trying. Every singlematch we play will be a challenge. Everybody wants to win, but if we just focus on the things we have to do day-to-day, everythingelse will fall into place.”

2001 SeasonEracleous saw some playing time last year and is expected to be see more in the upcoming season. His bestgame last year was against Quincy with 4 blocks and 4 digs. With his ability to think quickly on his feetand to see the whole court, Eracleous will bring some significant leadership to the team.

2000 SeasonEracleous will be called on to set up his game to the next level with a very young volleyball team. Lastyear, Eracleous saw limited playing time because he had to sit out for three to four weeks with a brokenknuckle. When he was in the game, he contributed in all aspects of the game. Eracleous had his best gameagainst Clarke College when he had 12 kills, 4 digs, and 2 block assists. With his powerful swing,Eracleous will have to help out Ptak and Zbyszewski on the outsides.

2001 SeasonSanders is part of the “duo in the middle” with Arcangel Ruiz that was able open things for Jeff Ptak on theoutside last year. With his ability to fool blockers and put the ball away on a quick ball, Sanders was a bigforce in the offense. His big game came against Clarke College on April 7 with 15 kills, 5 blocks, and anattack percentage of .619. Sanders finished the MIVA conference season fifth in blocks per a game with a1.41 average and 19th in hitting percentage with .294 average. With his court sense improving more everyyear, expect good things from him in his senior year.

2000 SeasonSanders shared time at the middle hitter position last year with Arcangel Ruiz. This season you will seeSanders and Ruiz running the show in the middle. Sanders will be called upon to help make the Mastodonsmore diverse in the middle. In 2000, he had his game against Rutgers-Newark delivering 14 kills, 2 digs,and 1 assist. This year, he will have to play big in the middle to capture the starting spot.

1999 SeasonSanders appeared in 16 games during his freshman season. He had a hitting percentage of .355 and a matchhigh of five kills in a game against George Mason. A back-up middle hitter, he was one of the best athleteson IPFW’s team this season. A great shot maker, he quickly learned Coach Ball’s system and was a keyplayer for IPFW off the bench.

Freshman PreviewSanders, a true freshman, was selected All-Conference and All-County in his senior year of high school. Hewas also chosen to the All-Conference All-Academic Team throughout high school. He led his club team toa third-place finish at the United States Junior National Championship Tournament in 1998.

2001 SeasonRuiz is part of the “duo in the middle” — with Josh Sanders — that contributed to the success of last year’sseason. As a sophomore, Ruiz had a court sense that most players don’t acquire until their senior year. Thatenabled him to make many great saves out of broken plays and put the ball away. Ruiz had a team high of12 blocks in the game against Ohio State. His best game was on March 9 against University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara where he had a total of 22 kills, 10 digs, and a .436 hitting percentage. Ruiz finished theMIVA season with an 18 standing in hitting percentage at .297 and eighth in blocks per a game with 1.31average.

2000 SeasonRuiz saw lots of playing time as a freshman in the middle hitter position. He was the key person to go to ifthe outside hitters were being stopped and could finish with raw power. Ruiz is very athletic and can playnearly every position on the court. When you hear the term “man in the middle,” Ruiz comes to mind.Having had 101 block assists and 17 block solos he is a true man in the middle. Ruiz had one of his bestblocking games on Feb. 25, 2000, against Ball State, where he put on a display with 11 total blocks. Hisgame high for kills came against Clarke College when he put down 15 kills.

Freshman PreviewRuiz is a true freshman who played volleyball at Colegio San Augustin High School in Puerto Rico. Ruizwas three-time All-Team and captain for two years in high school. While playing volleyball, Ruiz alsocompeted in baseball and basketball. Ruiz hopes to eventually play volleyball professionally after hisintercollegiate career at IPFW.

He was able to step up to the plate and deliver way beyond what everyone projected. Staley hada season high of 71 assists vs. Lewis University on Feb. 10. He achieved game highs in both Findlay andClarke College matches with 10 total digs.

2001 SeasonZbyszewski saw a great deal of playing time as a freshman in the outside position. He was able to learn theoffense quickly under Coach Ball’s guidance and patience. Recovering from off-season ACL surgery,Zbyszewski worked hard in rehab and will be in top form for the first game of the season. With his driveand love for the game, he will become one of the go-to players this year. His best game last year was onMarch 3 vs. Loyola-Chicago where he had 25 kills, 7 digs and a .319 hitting percentage. With a total of 251kills as a freshman, Zbyszewski will ensure that number goes up and up with each year.

2001 SeasonSherman saw very little playing time last year but when he did get into the game, he made his presenceknown. In his second match of his college career, Coach Ball sent him in to serve. He went back there andserved a tough low serve that the player on the other side shanked. He started jumping up and down and, inno time at all, was enveloped by fellow players in a massive hug. Sherman disappeared within the otherplayers and the scene looked like one that occurs after a championship victory. Another play took placeduring the Loyola-Chicago game on March 3. The team was down two games and was able to come backand win the next two.

Since its inception in 1961, the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Associationhas undergone numerous changes. In spring 1961, 10 schools met in East Lansing,Mich., and formed the MIVA. The original schools were Ball State University,Earlham College, Michigan State University, Lansing College, Ohio StateUniversity, Wittenberg College, George Williams College, and the Detroit Instituteof Technology. The MIVA was the first organization of its kind in the Midwest, andits primary function was the organization and promotion of collegiate volleyball.More than 40 schools have since competed in the MIVA, either on the varsity orclub level.The MIVA currently has eight varsity members: IPFW, Ball State, OhioState, Lewis, Quincy, Loyola, Mercyhurst, and Clarke. Each school is required toplay the other MIVA members twice during regular season play. There are norequirements for interleague competition.
