HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of “dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of higher learning in the nation. Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to offer one of the top academic experiences in the world.

First Year of StudiesThe First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate col-leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete SuccessNotre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

14Programs honored by the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores in 2009, more than any other of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision uni-versities. The APR measures multi-year academic success by team members.

9Irish teams which recorded a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s 2009 Academic Progress Rate report, more than any other Football Bowl Subdivision institution. Notre Dame also had 11 additional programs with scores of 990 or bet-ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA standards.

19Programs which achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-ation Success Rate, second most among Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

100Federal graduation rate percent achieved by nine Irish teams, according to the latest NCAA figures. Notre Dame had 11 teams ranked first in their respective sport.

.863

Percentage of Irish varsity sports (19 of 22) to achieve a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate. Notre Dame was one of only 10 institutions with more than half its programs achieving a 100 percent graduation rate and no other school saw more than 80 percent of its programs achieve a perfect score.

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-ly 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-dics to provide first-class care.

14Total sports medicine staff members. Head ath-letic trainer Jim Russ leads three associate train-ers, eight assistant trainers and two physical therapists.

The task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the strength & conditioning staff. The strength and conditioning staff knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition. From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

10Full-time employees working with Irish varsity athletes. The strength and conditioning staff in-cludes director Ruben Mendoza, eight coaches, one nutritionist and one intern.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent, national Catholic university adjacent to South Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

An associate professor of philosophy and member of Notre Dame’s faculty since 1990, Father Jenkins had served as a vice president and associate provost at the University from July 2000 until becoming president.

Prior to his service in the provost’s office, Father Jenkins had been religious superior of the Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame for three years. As religious superior, he was a Fellow and Trustee of the University.

Father Jenkins specializes in the areas of ancient philosophy, medieval phi-losophy and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas, published by Cam-bridge University Press in 1997.

Father Jenkins earned degrees in phi-losophy from Oxford University in 1987 and 1989. He earned his master of divin-ity degree and licentiate in sacred theol-ogy from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., in 1988. Prior to entering the Congregation of Holy Cross, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philoso-phy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, re-spectively.

Father Jenkins was ordained a priest in Notre Dame’s Basilica of the Sacred Heart in 1983. He served as director of the Old College program for Notre Dame undergraduate candidates for the Congregation of Holy Cross from 1991 to 1993.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and ex-ecutive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater.

His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA post-graduate Scholarship winners.

Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title.

Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution.

Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Su-per Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gym-nastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports.

He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for nu-merous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

3New athletics facilities which will open on cam-pus during the 2009-10 year. Alumni Stadium will be the new home for men’s and women’s soccer; Purcell Pavilion renovation and expansion of the Joyce Center arena will be completed; and Arlot-ta Family Stadium will open as the new home for the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team).

26.3Million dollars being spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center will feature a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

4Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The track and field teams, the hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

In addition to academic success, Notre Dame emphasizes giving back to the community as well. Notre Dame athletes have participated in countless service projects through the years, benefiting the Notre Dame and South Bend communities and beyond. Team and individual projects have allowed Irish athletes to see the positive impact they have in the lives of others and learn how to use their talents to benefit those in their communities.

5,500Hours of community service completed by Notre Dame student-athletes during the 2008-09 school year.

Located adjacent to South Bend, Ind., the University of Notre Dame has always acknowledged its place in a greater community. Sitting be-tween South Bend and Mishawaka in northern Indiana, Notre Dame has benefited the area in ways unimaginable, especially when it comes to Notre Dame football weekends. It is estimated that the average football weekend brings approximately $6.2 million dollars to the sur-rounding community. In addition to the financial aspect, Notre Dame feels truly invested in the surrounding community, with students par-ticipating in countless service projects to benefit the greater South Bend area.

a pair of national championships (1976 and1977) before leaving to train full-time with theU.S. National Team. As a collegian, Brown wastwice named a first-team All-American, whilebeing honored with the Mikasa Award in both1976 and 1977 as the nation’s best all-aroundplayer. Brown then served as captain of thenational team in the 1978 WorldChampionships, leading the U.S. to a fifth-placefinish, and was tabbed a co-captain of the 1980Olympic team that did not compete due to theUnited States boycott.

APR –The NCAA introduced the AcademicProgress Rate (APR) in 2004 as its latest stan-dard for measuring academic achievement bycollegiate athletic programs. In 2008, all 26 ath-letics programs at Notre Dame exceeded theacademic performance standard, with nineteams checking in with perfect scores of 1,000.The NCAA presented public recognition awardsboth to the top 10 percent of teams by schooland to the top 10 percent of teams by sport -with those same 14 Notre Dame teams thatearned 1,000 scores all honored in both cate-gories. No other NCAA Division I-A institutionhad more programs honored in the by-institu-tion category than Notre Dame with its 14. TheAPR uses a series of formulas related to stu-dent-athlete retention and eligibility to measurethe academic performance of all participantswho receive grants-in-aid on every team atevery NCAA Division I college and university.It replaced the annual graduation rates reportthat previously was issued by the NCAA.Programs that fail to earn an APR score of 925or better are barred from replacing a scholarshipathlete who leaves the institution while aca-demically ineligible. Programs with chronicallypoor academic records based upon a rollingfour-year rate ultimately will be barred frompostseason competition, in addition to losingscholarships.

ATTENDANCE – Fan interest in the Irishvolleyball program has exploded in the lastdecade, as crowds of more than 1,000 havetaken in Notre Dame matches on 54 occasionssince 2000. In 2003, the Notre Dame-VirginiaTech volleyball match, which ended with athrilling five-set Irish victory, was played beforea record crowd of 8,643. That season also fea-tured the largest-ever crowd for a match notplayed before a football pep rally, as 2,715 wit-nessed Notre Dame beat Miami in three sets ina nationally-televised match. In 2007, Notre Dame attracted the second-

highest total (7,523) in program history duringa BIG EAST battle with Cincinnati. In fact, fourof the top 20 Joyce Center crowds passedthrough the turnstiles in 2007. Debbie Brownwas honored for her 500th career win in frontof 5,743 fans against Marquette in 2006. In2005, Notre Dame set program records for totalseason attendance (24,783) and average atten-dance (1,549).

The 2003 season saw an average of 1,543fans per match (16th in nation), 1,064 in 2002(25th), 1,514 in 2004 (17th), 1,549 in 2005(20th), 1,348 in 2006 (27th), 1,216 in 2007(30th) and 1,215 in 2008 (33rd).

AVCA POLL HISTORY – The 2005 cam-paign was noteworthy for the Irish as they notonly achieved several program bests on thecourt, but made American Volleyball CoachesAssociation (AVCA) poll history as well. NotreDame reached an all-time high of fifth in thepoll on Oct. 31, 2005, becoming the first schoolever to crack the AVCA’s top five after beingunranked in the preseason. Also that season,Notre Dame tied the AVCA record for largestpoll-to-poll jump, moving 11 spots from 19th toeighth on Sept. 12 (BYU also moved up 11spots in the final poll in 1996) and broke theAVCA record for the largest two-poll jump, ris-ing more than 17 spots from the preseason untilSept. 12 (the previous AVCA record saw OralRoberts move from unranked to 10th in thefinal two polls in 1995). The Irish also spent aprogram-record 11 polls in the top 10 of theAVCA listing in 2005.Since Debbie Brown took over the program

in 1991, Notre Dame has frequented the AVCApoll on countless occasions. Notre Dame’s firstranking came in the 1992 preseason poll, andthe Irish have been ranked at some point in theAVCA poll in every season but three since thensince then (unranked in 1999 and receivedvotes in the first four polls of the 2007 season).Most recently the Irish were ranked No. 21 forthe first two weeks of the 2006 campaign. In all,Notre Dame has been ranked in 137 polls since1992. Only 19 schools have been ranked onmore occasions than the Irish since the AVCArankings debuted in 1982, and just 16 have beenin more polls since the commencement of the1992 campaign. The Irish have also enjoyed 19weeks in the poll’s top 10.

BENNETT, ZANETTE – One of the firstdominant Notre Dame volleyball players,Zanette Bennett came to Notre Dame as amember of the “Fab Four” recruiting class in1985. Referring to her stellar volleyball play asa “past-time” while studying to be a doctor,Bennett established numerous Irish careerrecords in her time as an outside hitter and mid-dle blocker. The first Irish player to register1,000 career kills, she still ranks fourth all-timein that category (1,471). Bennett holds the Irishrecord for kills in a season with 548 set in 1987.She was a crowd favorite in the Joyce Center,as fans established the “Z Corner” similar tothat of baseball pitcher Dwight Gooden’s “KCorner.” Each time “Z,” as her fans and thepublic-address announcer called her, recorded akill, the fans would hang signs emblazoned withthe letter “Z” from the bleachers.

A co-captain onthe record-setting 2005 squad that was 30-4and peaked at fifth in the AVCA poll, she grad-uated as the all-time Irish leader in careerblocks (734). As a sophomore in 2003, she ledNCAA Division I in blocking (1.78/set) andhelped the Irish take first in the team category(3.72/set), with both of those crowns markingprogram firsts. Brewster was a member of theIrish coaching staff during the 2007 season.

“FAB FOUR” –Nickname assignedto the recruiting classof 1985: ZanetteBennett, MaureenShea, Mary KayWaller and WhitneyShewman. Serving asthe nucleus of theemerging Irish vol-leyball program,these four playersled the team to its

first NCAA Tournament berth in 1988 and aschool-record 17-match winning streak in1986.

FIGHTING IRISH – Exactly where andhow Notre Dame’s athletic nickname “FightingIrish” came to origination never has been per-fectly explained. One story suggests themoniker was born in 1899 with Notre Dameleading Northwestern 5-0 at halftime of a foot-ball game in Evanston, Ill. The Wildcat fans sup-posedly began to chant, “Kill the Fighting Irish,kill the Fighting Irish,” as the second halfopened. Another tale has the nickname origi-nating at halftime of the Notre Dame-Michiganfootball game in 1909. With his team trailing,one Notre Dame player yelled to his teammates– who happened to have names like Dolan,Kelly, Glynn, Duffy and Ryan – “What’s thematter with you guys? You’re all Irish and you’renot fighting worth a lick.” Notre Dame cameback to win the game and the press, after over-hearing the remark, reported the game as a vic-tory for the “Fighting Irish.” The most generallyaccepted explanation is that the press coinedthe nickname as a characterization of all NotreDame athletic teams, their never-say-die fight-ing spirit and the Irish qualities of grit, deter-mination and tenacity. The term likely began asan abusive expression tauntingly directedtoward the athletes from the small, private,Catholic institution. Notre Dame alumnusFrancis Wallace popularized it in his New YorkDaily News columns in the 1920s. The NotreDame Scholastic, in a 1929 edition, printed itsown version of the story: “The term ‘FightingIrish’ has been applied to Notre Dame teamsfor years. It first attached itself years ago whenthe school, comparatively unknown, sent itsathletic teams away to play in another city ... Atthat time the title ‘Fighting Irish’ held no gloryor prestige … The years passed swiftly and theschool began to take a place in the sports world... ‘Fighting Irish’ took on a new meaning. Theunknown of a few years past has boldly taken a

The 2008 campaign marked the second timein as many years that Notre Dame exceededthe $6,000 mark, aided largely by a season-highattendance total of 1,609 fans at the Oct. 12match. Money was raised through a silent auc-tion of volleyball memorabilia and commemo-rative pink game-worn jerseys (one of whichyielded $225), and donations based on thenumber of digs collected by the Notre Damedefense throughout the match.

DIRECTORS’ CUP – Notre Dame is oneof just a dozen Division I schools to have fin-ished in the top 20 in the Sports AcademyDirectors’ Cup all-sports competition presentedby the National Association of CollegiateDirectors of Athletics (NACDA) in each of thelast seven years. In 2004 and 2005, outstandingfall campaigns (including points from the vol-leyball team’s NCAA runs) put Notre Dameatop the standings heading into the winter.Notre Dame has ended up in the top 25 of thestandings 11 times in the 15 years since thecontest debuted in 1993-94.

EARLY BEGINNINGS – The Notre Damewomen’s volleyball program originated as aclub sport in 1977. It became the University’sfifth women’s varsity sport in 1980 while expe-riencing a modest beginning at the Division IIlevel. The Irish posted a 3-19 record in 1980and a 14-22 mark in 1981 before making thejump to the Division I level in 1982.

The unkind appellationbecame symbolic of the struggle for supremacyof the field ... the term, while given in irony, hasbecome our heritage … So truly does it repre-sent us that we are unwilling to part with it. ”Notre Dame competed under the nickname“Catholics” during the 1800s and became morewidely known as the “Ramblers” during theearly 1920s in the days of the Four Horsemen.University president Rev. Matthew Walsh,C.S.C., officially adopted “Fighting Irish” as theNotre Dame nickname in 1927.

FINAL EIGHT – Led by All-AmericanChristy Peters, Molly Stark and Janelle Karlan,the 1993 Notre Dame volleyball team made itsdeepest run in the NCAA Championship,reaching the final eight.

Facing the Golden Gophers in theirhome arena the Irish were put to the test, finallywinning 15-13 in the fifth set of an epic match.Peters led Notre Dame with a stellar 26 killsand 21 digs. Coates, Stark, Jenny Birkner andJulie Harris also had double-digit kills in thewin. The Irish faced a familiar foe in theregional finals, as Penn State had knockedNotre Dame out of the NCAA Tournament in1992. The seventh-ranked Nittany Lions dupli-cated the feat despite a 14-kill and 19-dig per-formance from Peters.

GOLD AND BLUE – The origin of NotreDame’s school colors can be traced back to thefounding of the University in 1842. At thattime, Notre Dame’s original school colors wereyellow and blue; yellow symbolized the lightand blue the truth. However, sometime after theDome and Statue of Mary atop the MainBuilding was gilded, gold and blue became theofficial colors of the University.

GOLDEN DOME – The Main Building,surmounted by a statue of Our Lady atop theworld-famous Golden Dome, at one time com-prised the entire University infrastructure, andin 1879 was rebuilt in five months after a dev-astating fire. Its gold leaf exterior is periodicallyreplaced, most recently in 2005.

Unlike substi-tutions that are administered by the referee, thelibero replacement can enter the court anytimethere is a dead ball. Since the libero is a defen-sive player, certain restrictions have been estab-lished on the player’s offensive capability. Alibero plays only in the back row and cannot

Notre Dame beat then league-rivalMiami in three sets in front of a crowd of 2,715in the Joyce Center late in 2003, CSTV’s initialyear of broadcasting college volleyball. TheIrish were then televised three times in justover a month in 2004, dropping road matchesagainst South Carolina (CSTV), Michigan(Comcast) and Brigham Young (BYU

As a volleyballplayer, she was a four-year starter and three-time all-league honoree (first team in 2002,second team in 2003, honorable mention in2004), while being honorable mention All-America in 2003. As a high jumper for the Irishtrack and field team, she was an All-American

RULE CHANGES – In 2008 the NCAAdeemed that the term “game” be changed to“set”. Furthermore, the number of pointsrequired to win sets one through four is 25. Theintention of this rule change is to increase fanand player focus and fan excitement. The num-ber of points required to win the fifth setremains at 15. Collegiate women’s volleyballtransitioned to rally scoring in the 2001 season.Instead of side-out rules and games played to15 points, this format awards a point each timethe ball touches the ground and games wereoriginally played to 30 points. The maximumnumber of substitutions for each team is 12 perset.

SISTERS – Notre Dame has had two sets ofsisters play on its volleyball team. Maureen(1980-82) and Kathleen (1984-86) Morin werethe first, helping to shape the program in itsinfancy. More recently, twins Jessica and KristenKinder played for the Irish from 2000-03, serv-ing as co-captains in 2003. They became just thethird set of twin sisters to earn monograms inthe same sport at Notre Dame. Megan Fesl bat-tled her sister, Annie (a setter at Cincinnati),twice during the 2007 and 2008 seasons withthe Irish posting a 2-1 record. Rich Fesl, Meganand Annie’s father, sang the national anthembefore a pair of those contests. Justine Stremick(’09), a three-time ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-District selection, was joined onthe publication’s first team in 2008 by her twinsister, Briana, an outside hitter at Army.

STASIUK, ADRIANNA – One of the bestall-around and versatile players in Irish history,Adrianna Stasiuk was named an honorablemention All-American in 2005, the same seasonin which she won the BIG EAST ConferenceChampionship’s Most Outstanding Player. Shewas one of two players in Irish history to benamed CVU.com’s National Player of theWeek, picking up the honor in 2005 just oneweek after teammate Lauren Brewster earnedthe title. With a powerful jump serve andexplosive power around the net, Stasiuk was athree-time all-league choice and was twicenamed to the all-district academic team. Shebecame only the seventh Notre Dame playerever to register 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in acareer but was the first to ever pace the team ineach the seven major statistical categories whenshe did so in 2007: attacks (1,012), kills (361),

VANSLAGER, SANDY – The first of fourcoaches to lead the Notre Dame volleyballprogram, Vanslager administered the transitionfrom club to varsity status and the jump fromDivision II to Division I during her tenure(1980-83). Vanslager’s best season came in theNotre Dame’s first year as a Division I affiliate,when the Irish won 15 of their final 17matches to finish 25-9 in 1982.

VICTORY MARCH –The most recogniz-able collegiate fight song in the nation, the“Notre Dame Victory March” was written inthe early 1900s by two brothers who wereUniversity of Notre Dame graduates. MichaelShea, a 1905 graduate, composed the musicwhile his brother, John Shea, who earneddegrees in 1906 and 1908, provided the corre-sponding lyrics. The song was copyrighted in1908 and a piano version, complete with lyrics,was published that year. Michael, who becamea priest in Ossining, N.Y., collaborated on the

project with John, who lived in Holyoke, Mass.The song’s public debut came in the winter

of 1908 when Michael played it on the organof the Second Congregational Church inHolyoke. The “Notre Dame Victory March”was later presented by the Shea brothers to theUniversity, and it first appeared under the copy-right of the University of Notre Dame in 1928.The copyright for the beginning of the song isstill in effect. The more well-known secondverse, which begins with the words “Cheer,cheer for Old Notre Dame,” is now in the pub-lic domain in the United States (for both themusic and lyrics) – but the second verseremains protected in all territories outside ofthe country. Notre Dame’s fight song first wasperformed at Notre Dame on Easter Sunday in1909 in the rotunda of the Main Building. TheNotre Dame band performed the “VictoryMarch” as part of its traditional Easter morningconcert. It was first heard at a Notre Dame ath-letic event 10 years later. In 1969, as collegefootball celebrated its centennial anniversary,the “Notre Dame Victory March” was honoredas the “greatest of all fight songs.” MichaelShea was pastor of St. Augustine’s Church inOssining until his death in 1938. John Shea, a

athletes at Notre Dame were male, refer to“sons,” but in recognition of the fact that theVictory March is now played for athletic teamscomposed of men and women, many modifythe words accordingly. The “Victory March”earned a number-one ranking in ratings com-piled a 1998 book titled, “College Fight Songs:An Annotated Anthology.” The “VictoryMarch” was also the No. 1-ranked fight song ina survey in 1990 by Bill Studwell, a librarian atNorthern Illinois University.

Rally sons of Notre Dame:Sing her glory and sound her fame,Raise her Gold and BlueAnd cheer with voices true:Rah, rah, for Notre Dame

We will fight in ev-ry game,Strong of heart and true to her nameWe will ne’er forget herAnd will cheer her everLoyal to Notre Dame

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,Wake up the echoes cheering her name,Send a volley cheer on high,Shake down the thunder from the sky.What though the odds be great or smallOld Notre Dame will win over all,While her loyal sons are marchingOnward to victory.

Irish Ready for the SpotlightAbundance of talent, league’s top returning players, give Notre Dame hope for NCAA Tournament run

SeasonOutlook

With the addition of three nationally-regarded freshmen, the 2009 Irish volleyballteam looks to make its name on the nationalstage after falling just short of an NCAA bidthe last two seasons. The Irish return sixseniors – including all-BIG EAST performersChristina Kaelin and Serinity Phillips – to goalong with fellow all-league choice KellieSciacca. In addition, seniors Kim Kristoff,Megan Fesl, Jamel Nicholas and Tara Enzweilerare also set to be the cornerstones of this year’ssquad while they make their push for their firstBIG EAST regular-season title since 2005.With the loss of two-time captain Mallorie

Croal and Justine Stremick (1.11 blocks/set in2008) to graduation, head coach Debbie Brownand the Irish turn to their talented group ofplayers to fill in the holes left by these twofour-year monogram recipients.

The Team The six-person senior class, considered one

of the most decorated recruiting classes inNotre Dame’s 30-year history, looks to captheir Irish careers in style and will be the key

component to the squad’s run to secure a bidto the NCAA Tournament.Kaelin, who still has one year of eligibility

remaining after sitting out as a sophomore dueto injury, bounced back as a junior in 2008 toearn all-league (second team) and All-America(honorable mention) accolades. Her uncannyability to find open spots in the opposing team’sdefense is evident by her 3.25 kills/set last yearalong with a .258 hitting percentage and ateam-best 392.0 points.“After having to sit out her sophomore year

due to surgery, she learned an awful lot frombeing on the sidelines,” Brown said. “When shecame back last year it allowed her to be a muchmore efficient hitter. She has become a muchsmarter hitter and doesn’t rely on power alone,so she is able to mix her shots. Christina wascertainly was a go-to player for us last year andevery expectation will be the same this year.”Patrolling the net alongside Kaelin, Phillips

and her on-court instincts should help the two-time all-BIG EAST player improve upon her2.73 kills/set and 2.30 digs/set as a junior.Phillips is also one of the better blockingoutsides in the league (0.74 blocks/s), which

allows an ample amount offlexibility in the Irish lineup.This year’s edition of the Irish

continues the great lineage ofsetters that have gone through theNotre Dame program. After beingmentored by Ashley Tarutis (’08),Nicholas has developed a greatsetting technique to go along withher already natural leadership, asevident by her role as a teamcaptain for the second consecutiveseason. Nicholas was plagued byinjuries during the latter stages ofher junior season but managed tolead the team in assists (9.54assists/set).Fesl, Enzweiler and Kristoff have

each seen plenty of valuableminutes on the floor for the Irishover the past three years. Fesl canplay around the court andEnzweiler should continue to beone of the team’s mostfundamentally sound and efficientblockers. Kristoff will also be calledupon to deliver key blocks andsituational serves.“The thing that’s great about this

class is that all of our seniors havehad significant roles in one way or

another throughout their careers,” Brown said.“They all have been significant parts of oursuccess the past three years. Collectively, Iwould say with that they are not just a bigsenior class; it’s a senior class with really goodexperience in all kinds of situations andchampionship matches. It’s a big reason why wehave such optimism heading into this season.“We have an incredible senior class – they’re

physically talented, hungry to win and ready totake this program to new heights. But this can’tbe done with just seniors. Everyone is lookingforward to the season and we all have boughtinto the fact that this is going to be a great yearfor us.”The four-player junior class brings plenty of

firepower to the floor as well. Sciacca lived upto her billing as the AVCA’s Northeast RegionFreshman of the Year in 2007 with asophomore campaign that saw her cop all-region honors once again. Already theprogram’s second-best striker in career hittingpercentage (.337), Sciacca also led the teamwith 104 blocks (0.89 blocks/set) in 2008. Thecenterpieces of the Irish defense, Megan Dunneand Angela Puente, have each made great

Christina Kaelin is one of six seniors expected to play a key role inleading the Irish back to the NCAA Tournament in 2009.

strides during their two years on campus.Dunne’s improved passing helped her to nearlydouble her playing time from her freshman tosophomore seasons, and Puente’s athleticismhas translated into a bulk of tremendousdefensive efforts for the Irish. At the outsidehitter position, Stephanie Slatt has shown agreat knack for coming up big in pressuresituations, especially when she has the ball inher hand behind the service line.Sophomore Kristen Dealy will look to

improve on her award-winning freshmencampaign with a breakout sophomore seasonfrom the outside. Last season, Dealy led theteam in digs (325), total attempts (780) andservice aces (30) while carrying a tremendouspassing load. Dealy, who was named the BIGEAST Freshmen of the Week (Nov. 17) andfound a spot on the BIG EAST All-Tournament team in 2008, has yet to tap all ofher potential in an Irish uniform. Versatile middle blocker Megan Barnicle

could break into the lineup and Frenchy Silva,one of the most athletic players on the roster,will certainly see her fair share of action at thelibero and defensive specialist spots. Silva was amainstay on the court for the Irish in 2008 byparticipating in 94 sets.Three new players will be suiting up for

Notre Dame this fall: middle blocker HilaryEppink, outside hitter Marie Roof and liberoChristina Theofilos.Eppink emerged as one of the nation’s best

high school players last year after finishing aspectacular senior campaign in which sherecorded 400 kills, 140 blocks and 42 aces. Shewill look to make a smooth transition to the

college game with her great blockingskills.A two-sport star in high school, Roof

looks to continue her dominance throughto a higher level after nearly missing outon the state of Michigan’s Miss Volleyballaward. Roof has been regarded for hergreat natural instincts and excellent abilityto play a number of positions on the courtfor the Irish.Rounding out the recruiting class,

Theofilos, a PrepVolleyball.com All-American, will look to break into thelineup at the libero position but could alsoearn nods as a setter. Known for hercompetitive fire and enthusiasm on thecourt, Theofilos may find herself on thecourt as early as the first week of theseason.

The CaptainsNicholas and Kaelin will serves as co-

captains for this year’s team.“It was a fun process selecting the

captains this year,” Brown noted. “I alwayssolicit feedback from the players, but itwas pretty obvious that Jamel andChristina had the complete support fromtheir teammates. Their strengths in leadingthe team are in different areas so I thinkthey are going to compliment each otherreally well. I know they are both lookingforward to leading the team forward intoa great season, and I think that theirpersonalities and their relationships with theirteammates are going to enable great things tohappen.”

The StaffBrown enters her 19th season at Notre

Dame with a 424-163 (.722) record with theIrish. Joining her on the sidelines will besecond-year assistant coach Matt Botsford andRobin Davis, who rejoins the staff after a three-year stint as head coach at Boise State. AdriannaStasiuk, a 2008 graduate and volleyball All-American, will serve as a volunteer assistantcoach.

The ScheduleThe 2009 slate includes eight NCAA

Tournament teams from 2008 includingnational runner-up Stanford. Three squads (No.2 Stanford, No. 10 Florida and No. 17Michigan) ended last season nationally ranked."This is a very challenging schedule but we

have a strong core returning along with a verytalented senior class," Brown said. "We wantto schedule the best opponents year in and yearout. This will give the program the bestopportunity to play at the highest level, andwe're looking forward to accepting thechallenges presented to us this season."Notre Dame begins the season at home by

hosting the Shamrock Invitational from Aug.28-30. Denver, Stanford and LSU will be thevisiting teams.Xavier will host the Irish along with

Tennessee and Michigan one week later (Sept.

4-6) for the Xavier Invitational in Cincinnati,Ohio. The Irish then return home to host theadidas/Notre Dame Invitational while rollingout the carpet for Wisconsin and New MexicoState.A tri-meet in Tallahassee, Fla., will feature

Notre Dame going head-to-head against bothMiami (Sept. 19) and Florida State (Sept. 20).BIG EAST Conference play begins with trips

to Connecticut (Sept. 25) and St. John's (Sept.27). Notre Dame will stay at home for the nexttwo weeks with matches against Villanova(Oct. 4), Cincinnati (Oct. 10) and Louisville(Oct. 11).Three road matches at Pittsburgh (Oct. 17),

West Virginia (Oct. 18) and DePaul (Oct. 23)come before a home Halloween weekenddoubleheader with Seton Hall (Oct. 31) andRutgers (Nov. 1).The Irish travel to Marquette (Nov. 6) and

Syracuse (Nov. 8) before ending the regularseason at home versus Georgetown (Nov. 13)and USF (Nov. 15).The 2009 BIG EAST Conference

Championship will be hosted by Louisvillefrom Nov. 20-22. Trailing the tournament willbe a single match at Florida on Nov. 28.The NCAA Tournament begins Dec. 3 at

selected campus sites with the finals set to beplayed in Tampa, Fla., Dec. 17-19.Notre Dame will play the bulk of its home

matches in the Joyce Center Fieldhouse asconstruction in the south dome of the JoyceCenter continues throughout the fall.

Junior middle blocker Kellie Sciacca has shown steadyimprovements in each of her last two seasons, and is alreadysecond on the school’s career hitting percentage list.

The versatile Serinity Phillips has two all-BIG EASTcitations to her name and is one of the most dynamicathletes on the Irish roster.

HeadCoach

Debbie Brown is one of only a handful ofcoaches in the volleyball ranks that has been ableto parlay a dominating playing career with anequally impressive coaching resume.A two-time winner of the Mikasa Award as

college volleyball's best all-around player, Brownnotched her 500th career win as a head coachduring the 2006 campaign, and her 541 win totalranks her 27th in that category among activecoaches. In fact, only two active coaches havemore wins in as many seasons than the co-captainof the 1980 United States Olympic team. While her credentials are virtually unmatched

among collegiate coaches and players across thecountry, Brown - who signed a multi-year con-tract extension in the summer of 2006 - hasturned into one of the nation's elite mentors,leading her teams to 22 consecutive winningrecords, 13 finishes in the top 25 of the AVCAnational rankings, and 20 invitations to the

while becoming a finalist for the AVCA's nationalaward.She has helped Notre Dame to a variety of

dominating performances, including a 175-21(.893) record in regular season action againstconference teams (27-0 vs. MidwesternCollegiate Conference, 148-21 vs. BIG EASTConference). That includes a 94-7 (.931) recordat home and, at one point, a 79-match winningstreak against conference foes (regular season andpostseason) which ranks as the third-longest con-ference winning streak in Division I volleyballhistory (AIAW or NCAA). The longest losingstreak suffered by any Irish squad under Brownstands at four matches, which happened onlytwice over the past 18 seasons. Overall, the Irish are 209-42 (.839) in the

Joyce Center under Brown, including winningstreaks of 36 and 27 matches. Against unrankedteams at home, Notre Dame holds a 195-18(.916) record in the Brown era. Since becominga member of the BIG EAST Conference in 1995,Notre Dame has opened league play with an 11-0 run in all but four seasons (with 11+ matcheson the league schedule), going on to win 10 reg-ular-season titles and nine tournament champi-onships. The Irish have won 45 team BIG EASTstatistical crowns, as well as 27 individual statisti-cal championships. The league's player of the yearhas been from Notre Dame six times, while Irishstudent-athletes have garnered 50 all-conferenceaccolades, including 26 first-team honors. Brown has seen her Irish players gain All-

America accolades on 13 occasions, withBrewster becoming the first Notre Dame playerto be selected as an AVCA All-American (thirdteam in 2004 and second team in 2005). ChristinaKaelin earned the program’s most recent All-America citation by claiming a spot on theAVCA’s Honorable Mention squad in 2008.Additionally, Brown's players have earned

ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America hon-ors three times, while they have won the confer-ence player-of-the-year award nine times and

NCAA Championship(including a streak of 15consecutive bids from1992-2006).Now in her 19th sea-

son at Notre Dame and25th overall as a colle-giate head coach, Brownhas compiled a 541-246(.687) career recordincluding a 424-163(.722) mark with theIrish. Her squads havemade the round of16 in the NCAAChampionship six times,highlighted by a trip tothe 1993 quarterfinals.Fourteen regular-seasonconference champi-onships and 13 leaguetournament titles areamong the accomplish-ments of Brown-ledteams, which have won 20 or more matches 17times in the last 22 seasons.When taking over the reigns at Notre Dame,

Brown inherited a program that had just fivewinning seasons in its first 11 years of varsity vol-leyball action but has since turned it into a peren-nial BIG EAST Conference powerhouse. Nine ofher teams have been ranked in the AVCA's finalpoll. During regular season play, the Irish havecracked the top 10 in consecutive campaignsunder Brown, while peaking at an all-time bestfifth in 1995 and sixth in 1996 in the VolleyballMagazine rankings. In 2005, her squad achieved itshighest ever listing in the AVCA poll, moving upto fifth after entering the season unranked (it wasthe first time any school had ever cracked theAVCA top five after being unranked in the pre-season).That same 2005 version of the Irish put

together one of the best campaigns in programhistory by posting the school's first 30-win sea-son since 1994. All four of the team's defeatscame in five-set matches. Notre Dame went 5-1against top-15 teams and earned an all-time Irishhigh No. 6 seed in the NCAA Championship.Notre Dame played host to the first two roundsand advanced to the round of 16 for the first timesince 1997 before falling in five sets toWisconsin. The Irish - which rattled off a 15-match winning streak and spent a program-record 11 weeks in the AVCA's top 10 - went13-1 while winning their 10th regular seasonBIG EAST Championship in 11 years of leaguemembership. In a clash between two top-10teams, Notre Dame handed Louisville a five-setdefeat in the conference tournament finale togive Brown her ninth BIG EAST Tournamenttitle.The 2005 squad also featured the first player in

program history - 2006 graduate LaurenBrewster - to earn both athletic and academicAll-American accolades.Brown was recognized as the 2005 BIG EAST

Volleyball Coach of the Year - the league's firstfive-time winner of the award - and named thetop coach in the AVCA's Northeast Region

both came in 2003. The Irish ledDivision I with a team blocking averageof 3.72/set (Cornell was second with3.52), while Brewster was tops in indi-vidual blocking with a 1.78/set mark. The Irish record books have steadily

been under construction since Brownstepped on campus, as all-time bestmarks in over 120 team and individualcategories have been eclipsed. A testa-ment to her recruiting and coachingprowess is the fact that nearly all of thetop players in the Notre Dame careerrecord book have played for Brown.That group includes 13 of the 16 play-ers to have registered 1,000 career kills,all six who notched both 1,000 kills and1,000 digs, the top eight competitors onthe career hitting percentage list, six ofthe top seven on both the assists andservice aces lists, and each of the top 10student-athletes in career digs. Christy Peters, one of the top players

in Irish volleyball history, played atNotre Dame during Brown's first fourseasons and was tabbed a third team All-American in both 1993 and 1994. Shestill stands as the program's careerleader in kills (1,683) and her digs markstood 11 years before broken by 2006

Among the other standoutscoached by Brown have been Jessica Fiebelkorn(1992), two-time BIG EAST Player-of-the-YearJaimie Lee (1997), Denise Boylan (2000), KristenKinder (2003), Emily Loomis (2003), LaurenKelbley (2003-05), and Adrianna Stasiuk (2005) -all of whom have earned honorable mention All-America status. Lee and Boylan were invited totrain with the United States National Team pro-gram during the summer of 1998, while the for-mer earned a spot on the 1997 World UniversityGames team. Kristy Kreher (1998-2001) also wasone of just 20 players named to the USA JuniorNational Team in 2000. Seven of Brown's former Irish players have

gone on to play professionally. Angie (Harris)Akers is currently active in the Association ofVolleyball Professionals (AVP), while Lee com-peted in the league until 2005. Jessica and KristenKinder (2004) also played briefly on the beach.Akers - who finished in the top 20 of the AVPstandings in her first four seasons on tour - wasthe 2002 AVP Rookie of the Year, an honor Leeearned one year later. Three former Notre Damecompetitors were active in the United StatesProfessional Volleyball league in 2002 - Boylanand Kreher were members of the MinnesotaChill and Molly Stark played for the St. LouisQuest. Six of Brown's former Irish assistants have

gone on to become head coaches: Robin Davis(Boise State), Andria Harshmann (Grace College)Devin Scruggs (Nevada), Steve Schlick (CalPoly), Sue Woodstra (Pittsburgh, California,Humboldt State), and 2004 AVCA NationalCoach of the Year Jim McLaughlin (Washington)who led the Huskies to the 2005 NCAA title. Brown also coached several premier players at

Arizona State, including three-time OlympianTammy (Webb) Liebl (1988-96) and All-Americans Christy Nore and Regina Stahl. TheSun Devils were ranked among the top programsin the nation for six seasons, and in 1986 Brownled the Sun Devils to a 27-7 record and wasnamed Pacific- 10 Conference Coach of the Year.She compiled a 117-83 record en route to fiveNCAA Tournament berths while at ArizonaState.

After serving as a pro-gram consultant since1986, Brown took aleave of absence in 1988to serve as an assistantcoach for the UnitedStates National Teambefore accepting a full-time national team posi-tion in 1989. Brown'sduties centered on help-ing improve the nationalteam's defense and herefforts played a role in aUnited States bronzemedal finish at the 1990World Championship inChina. She also coachednational teams in the

1985 and 1991 Olympic Festivals. Since picking up the sport late in her high

school days, Brown has become one of the mostrespected and accomplished individuals in all ofvolleyball. She grew up in the Los Angeles sub-urb of El Segundo and became one of thenation's top prep players. She competed as a 17-year old for the United States at the 1974 WorldChampionship in Mexico City and a year laterplayed on the adidas team that won the USVBAtitle. After graduating from El Segundo High

School, she captained the University of SouthernCalifornia to a 72-1 two-year record and nationaltitles in both 1976 and 1977, including a 38-0run in 1977 that, until 1998, was the onlyunbeaten season in Division I women's volleyballhistory. Her 1977 squad is still considered one ofthe all-time greatest at any level of volleyball.Brown (then Debbie Landreth) twice was nameda collegiate All-American and received theMikasa Award as the "nation's best all-aroundplayer" in 1976 and 1977. USC paid tribute to Brown during the 2008

season by naming her a program “All-TimeGreat”, an honor shared with Trojan teammateSue Woodstra. A permanent banner with Brown’sname and jersey number now hangs from therafters of USC’s Galen Center.The 5-foot-8 outside hitter left USC prior to

Brown by the Numbers

Debbie Brown’s Olympic career reached another milestoneon Jan. 4, 2002, when she participated in the Winter OlympicTorch Relay, carrying the famous torch in South Bend. A co-captain of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team that missed

out on the Moscow games due to the United States boycott,Brown also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. nationalteam during its 1988 Olympic effort.In frigid temperatures, she stepped off the torch runners’

bus just a few steps from the Joyce Center, where she hascoached the Fighting Irish volleyball team for 16 seasons. Shewas handed the torch by local news personality MaureenMcFadden and took off down Eddy Street toward downtownSouth Bend (where the torch was housed for 30 minutes atthe Century Center before continuing on its path to SaltLake City for the opening ceremony).Even though she missed out on Olympic competition dur-

ing the 1980 boycott, Brown still remembers her national-teamexperience fondly: “Nothing is going to make up for the dis-appointment of 1980. I am happy, though, that I can still beconnected to the Games. I never ever felt like I wasted fouryears of my life. That was a special time.”Brown was chosen as a torchbearer due to her embodiment

of the inspirational spirit of the Olympics, shown by servingand motivating the community.

AssistantCoach

Notre Dame led the BIG EAST and rankedamong the top five nationally in NCAA DivisionI in blocking in each of the five seasons followingDavis' arrival - after the program had never pre-viously cracked the national top 10. The 2003squad led the nation in blocking (3.72/set) andbroke the school record for the second year in arow (after the previous mark had stood since1988). Additionally, then-sophomore LaurenBrewster was tops in Division I in individualblocking (1.78/set) in 2003 after finishing fourthas a rookie. Those marked the first two NCAAstatistical crowns in Notre Dame history.Davis was instrumental in the development of

Brewster, as well as two of her classmates, LaurenKelbley and Carolyn Cooper. In 2004, Brewsterbecame the first Notre Dame player ever to benamed an AVCA All-American. Kelbley, who wasa middle blocker during the first half of her careerbefore moving to outside hitter, was three timestabbed honorable mention All-America afterbeing the rookie of the year for both the BIGEAST Conference and the AVCA's NortheastRegion in 2002.In his first five years at Notre Dame, Davis

helped Brewster, Kelbley, and 2001 graduateMalinda Goralski account for three of the top

eight individual seasons by Irish play-ers in hitting percentage and four ofthe top nine in blocking. Brewster seta Notre Dame freshman record forboth blocks (175) and block average(1.68) in 2002, while her 161 blockassists were the most-ever for an Irishplayer in a season.In Davis' first season, Goralski led

the BIG EAST Conference in block-ing (1.66) and finished sixth inDivision I, while the team's averageof 3.42 was good for fifth nationallyand the top mark by a Notre Damesquad since 1988. The average was0.49 higher than Notre Dame's markin 2000. Goralski, the BIG EASTPlayer of the Year, also was second inthe conference with a .379 hittingpercentage that was the second-high-est by an Irish player in school his-tory.In 2002, the Irish broke the 14-

year-old school record with a blockaverage of 3.66 that was bettered byonly one Division I team (Nebraska).That season also saw Brewster,Kelbley, Emily Loomis and Katie Neffeach finish with 1.00 blocks/set onthe season, a feat they would dupli-cate in 2003 after it had never beendone before in Irish history.Prior to coming to Notre Dame,

Davis spent two seasons at NorthernArizona, helping it qualify for theNCAA Tournament in 1999 for thefirst time in school history. NorthernArizona also captured a share of theBig Sky Conference title in 2000,another program first. Davis served as

Northern Arizona's recruiting coordinator andwas heavily involved in on-court coaching, focus-ing on the middle blockers and helping withadvanced scouting.Davis led Biola to the NAIA national semifinals

twice, including a loss in the title match in 1997.His Biola squads posted 20 wins six times,advanced to the regional semifinals seven times,and captured two league titles. In `97, Biolaearned the national sportsmanship award. Davisleft Biola as the winningest coach in the historyof the school, accruing 221 wins and a .734 win-ning percentage.A 1979 graduate of Northern Arizona with a

degree in physical education, Davis also served asathletics director at Brethren Christian HighSchool in Cypress, Calif., spending nine yearscoaching volleyball, basketball and baseball. Whileat Brethren Christian, he also had assistant princi-pal duties.As a player, Davis was a member of the NAU

men's volleyball club team while in college andspent time on the USVBA indoor tour (1979-85),the beach volleyball circuit (1982-87), and theAVP tour (1986-87). When he left California,Davis held an AAA rating as an open beachplayer.

Robin Davis was named assistant volleyballcoach at the Notre Dame in June 2009. Davis,who spent the three seasons as the head coach atBoise State, rejoined the Irish after spending fiveseasons with the Notre Dame program from2001-2005. "I'm really excited to have Robin back on

staff," head coach Debbie Brown said. "He bringsa wealth of knowledge to our staff and I believehe will nicely compliment what we have in place.He had a vital role in helping our team achievethe highest national ranking in the history of ourprogram (when Notre Dame was ranked fifth bythe AVCA in 2005) and I'm confident he will helpget us there again."With the arrival of Davis in 2006 Boise State

got an immediate boost to its program. In his firstseason with the program, Davis posted the largestwin increase for a first-year coach in Bronco his-tory in leading the squad to 13 wins, five morethan the 2005 edition of the Broncos. Davis' 2006total eclipsed that of Darlene Bailey, the win-ningest head coach in Boise State history (342victories), who led the Broncos to a four-matchturnaround in 1979.For the first time since joining the Western

Athletic Conference in 2001, Boise State swepttwo of its conference opponents (Louisiana Techand Fresno State) during the '06 campaign. TheBroncos also defeated Nevada for the first timesince 1997, ending the longest losing streakagainst a single team in school history.As an assistant coach with Notre Dame for four

seasons, and as an associate head coach for oneseason, Davis helped lead the Fighting Irish to fiveconsecutive BIG EAST Conference regular-sea-son championships and appearances at the NCAATournament, reaching the round of 16 in 2005.Notre Dame also finished that year with its high-est-ever final national ranking - No. 12 in theAVCA poll and No. 11 in the Volleyball Magazinepoll.

Fiesta onSiesta Key

Eight members of the Notre Dame volleyball teamtraveled to Florida in late April and came back tocampus with the team title after winning theCollegiate Beach Volleyball Challenge at Fiesta OnSiesta Key. The four two-person tandems of MeganFesl and Angela Puente, Kellie Sciacca and FrenchySilva, Kristen Dealy and Serinity Phillips, andChristina Kaelin and Beth Wildermuth totaledenough points in both pool and championship play toearn the distinction for the Irish.

"This [playing in a sandvolleyball tournament] wassomething we really wanted todo and I could not be morepleased with the results afterour first tournament," Irishhead coach Debbie Brown said.

After wrapping up the springindoor season with an informalmatch against Michigan andtournaments in Nashville andLouisville, the Irish had just ahandful of practices at theOutpost Sports sand courts inMishawaka, Ind.

"When the weathercooperated we were able to getseveral practices in, and it wasreally fun to see the enthusiasm of the players to learna new game" Brown said.

"Obviously, the same skills apply but as far aslearning different shots and new strategies, the playerswere so coachable and made huge strides from dayone. I think there's no question in my mind that thisis going to help us on the indoor game because itforces you to look at things a little bit differently, tosee the court differently and it was fun to see theexcitement they had to learn and try something new.”

The Fiesta On Siesta Key tournament featured 48two-person teams. The initial stage of the tournamenthad teams broken into 12 pools. At the conclusion ofpool play, the top 16 overall teams moved into theGold bracket, the next 16 to the Silver bracket and thefinal 16 to the Bronze bracket. All four of NotreDame's teams won or came insecond within their respectivegroupings during pool play.

Three Irish squads competedin the Gold bracket - makingNotre Dame the only schoolwith such a total in the topevent - with the fourthnarrowly missing out on asimilar opportunity. Phillips andDealy made it to the semifinalsof the Gold bracket along withFesl and Puente as Kaelin andWildermuth bowed out of thefirst round of Gold bracket play.Sciacca and Silva advanced tothe semifinals of the Silverbracket. In fact, Phillips andDealy knocked out the tourna-ment's top-seeded doubles team from Miami in theopening round of the Gold bracket.

"For most of the players, they had neverplayed in any kind of a beach tournament atall so it was relatively new for most ofthem," Brown added. "I think it was a funway to have that be your last competition ofthe spring."

Assistant coach Matt Botsford oversaw theteam while in Florida for the competition."As far as my expectations and the team'sexpectations going in, I felt pretty confidentafter seeing them out on the sand for the firstcouple of times," Botsford said. "They werebetter than I anticipated and they caughtonto some of the concepts we were workingon faster than we expected. There is quite asignificant difference being on the sandversus the hard court, and to see that theycould make that transition as fast as they didwas very encouraging.

"I think the biggest key was the depth ofour four teams. We felt that each one ofthose teams could do some damage and winsome matches; every one of them had theability to beat some pretty solid teams. Whenit was all said and done, they performedextremely well. They were competitive in all

of their matches, and I think the big key thatsurprised some people was that the team from thefarthest distance and the coldest climate, the ones thatprobably didn't anticipate spending much time out onthe sand, did so well."

The tournament title could not come at a bettertime for Notre Dame and the college volleyball worldas a whole. The Division I Legislative Council addedsand volleyball to the list of emerging sports forwomen, clearing the way for schools to use the sporttoward minimum sponsorship requirements andminimum financial aid awards. The sport is expectedto create additional athletics opportunities for femalestudent-athletes, though some administrators andcoaches worry that it may simply provide additionalopportunities for current indoor volleyball players.

Irish inItalyThe Notre Dame volleyball team spent nearly two weeks in Italy this

past summer while posting a 6-1 record against the nation’s finest clubteams on top of splitting a pair of matches against the Italian JuniorNational Team. Notre Dame hoisted the championship trophy aftersweeping through four matches unscathed at the Margie HimmelbergMemorial Tournament in Modica, Italy.Exerpts from the team’s travel blog are shared here, but check out the

volleyball page at UND.com for the complete blog, match recaps, releasesand photo galleries.

Tuesday, May 19 - Modica, Sicily�Justine Stremick - Langdon, N.D.It's been a busy few days. I thought that I would have a lot of

free time during senior week and graduation weekend to pack forEurope and move out of my house. Unfortunately I was wrongand I spent my last few days in South Bend running around tryingto get everything done. My family was in town so my time wassplit between them and saying goodbye to the friends I had madeduring my time at Notre Dame.Graduation itself was bittersweet. The commencement mass

and graduation ceremony were both exciting and eventful. Weheard from Bishop D’Arcy, Fr. Jenkins, our valedictorian BrennanBolman and of course, President Obama.After the ceremony my friends and I headed over to the main

building for one last picture shoot. I did not get a chance to saygoodbye to everyone I would have wanted to but it was almosteasier that way. It's hard to believe we won't all be together againand that although we will most likely all return to Notre Dame atsome point, it will be for short visits and as alumni.I spent Sunday night packing up the rest of my room and

going over and over my packing list for the next month I wouldspend in Europe. The first two weeks in Italy with my teammatesand the next two weeks with my twin sister, Briana, seeing Austria,Germany, France and Ireland. I managed to squeeze in a few hoursof sleep before heading to campus to board the bus.The one rule about traveling abroad is that nothing will go as

planned. The best way to deal with this is to be flexible and just gowith it. Our first flight was delayed by an hour and a half but mostof us were able to get some sleep on the nine and a half hour flight.After a short layover in Rome we flew to Palermo to meet withour translators. Unfortunately, they were at another airport (theone we were supposed to fly into). After a two hour bus ride wherewe were not allowed to sleep - because we were just notified thatwe'd be playing a match later in the evening - and after a short stopfor lunch at a gas station (best gas station sandwiches I've ever had!)we finally met up with our translators and guides, Tim and Jo.After one more hour on the bus we arrived in Modica. They had

scheduled a practice to get us moving after the long hours of travel and tohelp us adjust to the time change, but instead of practice they decided tohave us play a match. After 24 hours of travel. Needless to say were a littletired but we played well and won our first match, 3-0. As a celebration westopped for gelato before heading back to the hotel for a well-deservedshower and night of sleep.We will be staying in Modica for four nights, which should give us

plenty of time to explore the area. Tomorrow we head to the beach beforeplaying our second match. Well my converter just exploded and it's timefor me to get some sleep.

Friday, May 22 - Modica, Sicily�Kim Kristoff - Carmel, Ind.Day four across the big pond was our last day in Modica. We started

off the day sleeping in until 3:00 a.m. ... South Bend time! So it was only9:00 a.m. in Italy, but the wonderful complimentary Nutella breakfastmade our morning. Gotta love the way the Europeans do the mostimportant meal of the day. I mean there is Nutella everywhere. That stuffis like water here. Great success.We then got some time to explore the lovely town of Modica. Most

of the girls walked around the shops and churches in the city, while somepeople walked up numerous stairs and hills to get to the top of the cityand embrace the view.After a few hours of walking around the city, the entire team packed

up for the day and headed to the beach. All of this beach time has beenan awesome surprise and everyone is really enjoying working on their tan.So far, Barni (Megan Barnicle) and I are winning - great success!While basking in the Italian sun, Jam (Jamel Nicholas), the mother and

captain of us all, decided to check if the sea was safe when she found ajellyfish! She quickly alerted the troops and found a stick to bring it toshore to make sure no one was stung - she is so nurturing, like MotherGoose. When the shoreline passed Jam's inspection we swam a little thenwent to the beach hut for lunch.

When arriving to the table, everyone started to get warm and fuzzyinside because we spotted one of America's most treasured condiments -ketchup. This meant that we would be getting more than pasta ... everyonehoped for the best and the waitress brought out two huge platters ofFrench fries! They had the perfect balance of a mushy center while havingthat lightly battered crispy outer coating. We were in a glorious state andate about 30 pounds of potatoes. After our bellies were full, we went backto the beach for the rest of the afternoon.En route to the match, we stopped in a little town to enjoy some

gelato. I went with the dark chocolate, which was a perfect choice for thechocolate dipped cone. Assistant coach Matt Botsford got his ice creamsandwich he was hoping for, even though he could not pronounce it.Everyone was happy as clams. We then switched into volleyball mode andboarded the bus to head to the Modica gym to play in the championshipmatch of the tournament.

The game was a nail biter with Club Modica taking game one. Wethen rallied back, and took game two from them. Fighting through gamethree was tough and the set went the way of Modica. The crowd wasenthralled. Although we were down, we kept fighting and took gamesfour and five to clinch the tournament title - our first of this season. Wewent nuts. After shaking hands with the refs and the other team, we waitedfor the awards ceremony. I clapped when I heard clapping because I didn'tknow anything that was being said - I am not too fluent in Italian.Thankfully, Giorgio (the only name to which sports information directorAlan George will respond) was translating for me. But they handed outtrophies and fanny packs. The trophy was this enormous silver cup, andKellie Sciacca has to lug it around (a la the Stanley Cup). The entire teamwas stoked about the fanny packs. They have come in handy so far - weare on the bus to the airport and they are extremely convenient forputting in items that need to be easily accessed: passports, cameras, gum,phones, etc. Since head coach Debbie Brown is holding all of ourpassports, her fanny pack is stuffed.Today we are en route to Venice. We have a long day of bussing, flying,

flying and more bussing. I am going to wrap this up because I am sittingsideways and am getting carsick. Signing off for now ... ciao bella!(translation - goodbye, bella!)

Friday, May 29 - Rome, Italy�Serinity Phillips - Valley Center, Calif.Good morning, Roma! Well, I guess a plain "ciao" will do.Lucky for you, I (Serinity "Johnson" Phillips) get to report on our

second eventful day in Rome. Let's start from the beginning.3:30 a.m. - The hotel air conditioning shuts down. Result: The hottest

and worst night of sleeping ever.7:30 a.m. - Early breakfast. �Result: Team looks like an ancient ruin.8:15 a.m. - Hopped on the metro to the Coliseum. Result: Angela

Puente falls face first on a sly attempt to make it on the metro before thedoors close. I'm still laughing.8:45 a.m. - We arrive at the Coliseum. Result: A billion sweet pictures

of the team in awkward, yet hysterical gladiator poses. Megan Dunne andI slipped in a few Spiderman poses. Besides Angela's fall, the Coliseum hasso far been the best part of the day.9:30 a.m. - The team walks to the Forum. Result: More sweet pics.10:00 a.m. - The team attempts to find the Knights of Malta Keyhole.

Result: We get lost. Having walked for over an hour around downtownRome we decided that the keyhole didn't exist ... we were wrong.11:00 a.m. - Team jumps on the metro to the Spanish Steps. Result:

Had the best gelato of the trip ... we went back for seconds.11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. - The team splits and regroups for lunch a few

blocks from the hotel. Result: Best. Lunch. Ever. Growing weary of pizzaand pasta (never thought that was possible two weeks ago!) we werepleasantly surprised to have caprese salad, potatoes, red peppers, and bestof all - chicken.4:00 p.m. - Team hops on the metro to play the Italian Junior NationalTeam. Result: Assistant coach Matt Botsford regrets not buyingdesigner purse for sister from street vendor.

5:15 p.m. - We arrive at the playing facility. Result:Construction prevents us from taking the shortcut, forcing us toonce again walk aimlessly in hopes of finding an entry.6:00 p.m. - The match begins. Result: We win in five sets.

With Kim Kristoff setting a `three' to the outside after Iricocheted a ball directly into Kristen Dealy's face, the game wasmore than eventful.8:00 p.m. - Team eats dinner with the Italian players. Result:

Awkward silence due to the language barrier. O.K., so maybe I'mexaggerating. For the most part dinner went well. After learningthat one of the players was from Argentina I decided to sharpenup on my Spanish in hopes of preventing the awkward silence ...it didn't work.10:30 p.m. - Arrive back at the hotel. Result: This blog.

Monday, June 1 - Notre Dame, Ind.�Head coach Debbie BrownWOW! As I think back over the last two weeks I'm amazed

at all we were able to experience. In every way imaginable thetrip was a huge success. We were able to stay in big cities and insmall communities. We enjoyed the beach as well as themountains and hills. We traveled by bus, train, metro and plane ...and some of us even snuck in a ride on a gondola. And, we wereable to play some great volleyball. My personal favorite was ourtime on the island of Sicily.Flying into Palermo allowed us to see the beautiful coastline

and beaches of that city. And on the way to the opposite side ofthe island we were able to see vast farmlands, beautifulmountains and hills, and even a great view of the mighty Mt.Etna. From our home base in the city of Modica (which is anarchitectural wonder) we were able to take day trips to the citiesof Agrigento, Ragusa, as well as a couple different small beachcities. The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento was simplyamazing. In America we think something is old when it's beenaround for more than 100 years, and we were seeing things thatwere two thousand years old!The organizers of the tournament in Modica were wonderful

hosts. They were eager for us to experience all that the island had tooffer in addition to enjoying some good volleyball. They even made surewe had an ample supply of chocolate before each game (they are famousfor their chocolates!) We were fired up to win the tournament, as we hadto work hard to beat the host club for the championship.Our goal going into this trip was to see all that we could; to learn

firsthand about the history and culture of each of the cities we visited. Wewanted to take in as much as we possibly could. In addition, we wantedto take advantage of competing again. We wanted to be competitive inevery match we played. The volleyball in Italy is very good, and we didn'tknow how we would stack up against some of the teams. In most cases,we were forced to play at a high level. I was particularly pleased with howthe team responded in our last two matches against the Italian JuniorNational Team. Not only was this the best team we had played throughoutthe tour, the matches also came at the very end, when we were mostfatigued. The effort the team put forward was truly remarkable.I think back to our last night there. We were having our last gelato

together at the Trevi fountain. We had just lost our last competition in ahard fought five-set match. The word that best describes how I felt is"saturated". I'm not sure how many miles we walked throughout the 12days we were there ... but I know it's a significant number. We played sevenmatches and had one practice throughout those 12 days. The days wedidn't play were usually spent traveling. We didn't cut back on oursightseeing on match days, and in fact sometimes went straight to thematch from wherever we might have been visiting. We saw all that wecould see, we ate as much gelato as we could, we enjoyed every facet ofthe Italian culture, and we were ready to go home. Yes, we were saturated,but it was a great feeling.We owe a huge thank you to Bring It Promotions for organizing a

fantastic tour. This is the third time we've used this company to organizea tour for our program, and each time I think it can't get any better, butit does. Tim Kelly and Joanna Fielder were absolutely awesomehosts/guides for us. Thanks, Tim and Jo, for a wonderful experience.

Irish in theBIG EAST

Though all 16 members of the BIG EASTConference field women’s volleyball teams,Providence College ceased its league participation

in the sport after the 2002 season. The other 15 schools takepart in round-robin play during the regular season, and thetop eight teams then participate in the BIG EASTChampionship, a single-elimination tournament with thewinner receiving the conference’s automatic berth to theNCAA Tournament. This championship format is a departurefrom the traditional four-team event that had been in placesince the Irish joined the league (with the exception of 1999,when the league experimented with an expanded three-day,six-team event). Notre Dame has experienced unprecedented success in

the 14 years since joining the league in 1995. The Irish havecompiled a 148-21 (.878) regular-season mark, highlighted bynine tournament titles and winning streaks of 45 and 35 con-secutive matches. Notre Dame once earned 58-straight victo-ries at home in BIG EAST regular-season play. Irish volleyballsquads carried a home conference winning streak of 74straight matches from 1991 to 2004, which includes winsover both Midwestern Conference and BIG EAST oppo-nents. The Irish have won nine BIG EAST Tournament champi-

onships, posting a 27-5 (.844) mark in the event while reach-ing the final match in its first 12 tournaments. After taking aone-year hiatus from the finals, the Irish returned in 2008before falling to Louisville. Notre Dame has also dominatedthe league’s postseason awards, winning player-of-the-yearhonors six times and coach-of-the-year award on five occa-sions. On nine occasions, Irish players have been named theleague tournament’s most outstanding player. Notre Damestudent-athletes have garnered 50 all-conference accolades -including 26 first-team honors - which accounted for nearlyone-third of the total first-team honors handed out duringthe span.Prior to joining the BIG EAST, Notre Dame was a mem-

ber of the North Star Conference from 1983-87 and theMidwestern Collegiate Conference from 1990-94. The Irishwon regular-season and tournament titles in the NSC in 1986and 1987, then captured both the regular-season and tourna-ment championships in the MCC from 1991-1994. In 23years of conference participation, Notre Dame has won 16regular-season crowns and 15 league tournaments whilecompiling a 205-34 (.858) mark in regular-season conferencematches.

The BIG EASTConferenceWith 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST

Conference continues on a path of success in and outof the athletic arena. The goals have always been thesame. The league wants and expects to compete at thehighest level and does so with integrity and sportsman-ship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of theleague’s proud tradition of success.The BIG EAST has gone through membership

changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic yearwill mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-Aconference.In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again suc-

ceeded on the national stage. The Connecticutwomen’s basketball team won its sixth national cham-pionship by defeating conference foe Louisville in anall-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Damewomen’s soccer team reached the NCAA champi-onship game and the Syracuse field hockey squadadvanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EASTwomen’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 atthe NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourthfollowed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown inninth.Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s

Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAAOutdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’sMaya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of theWade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball.Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy,the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova

The 2008-09campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball seasonin the history of the BIG EAST with the league settingNCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds,four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five inthe Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the

NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semi-finals.BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile

and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of theleague’s eight squads were nationally ranked orreceived votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnatiwas the league champion. The BIG EAST, a chartermember of the Bowl Championship Series, has wonthree of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia,Louisville and Connecticut also have won or sharedleague crowns over the past four seasons.The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-

athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and aca-demic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST playerswere chosen to their respective ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes haveearned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division

I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new membersbegan competing. The new schools were: University ofCincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville,Marquette University and the University of SouthFlorida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s

top 34 largest media markets, including New York,Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa,

Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Withits newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almostone fourth of all television households in the U.S.Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won

26 national championships in six different sports and126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball

success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIGEAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams inmen’s and women’s basketball. It was only the secondtime in NCAA history that one conference placed thatmany Final Four teams in the same season.In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in

NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAAbasketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIGEAST became the first conference in NCAA history towin the men’s and women’s titles in the same yearwhen the Syracuse men and the Connecticut womencaptured their respective national championships. Inmen’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three ofthe last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’steams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.Proactive movement has been a signature strategy

for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIGEAST continually turns challenges into opportunitiesto become stronger.In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse

to its growing list of sports, which will increase its totalto 24 sport championships. The first women’s golfchampionship was held in the spring of 2003.Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979,

following a meeting of athletic directors fromProvidence College, St. John’s, Georgetown andSyracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut andBoston College completed the original seven schoolalliance. While the membership has both increased and

changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.

The conference reflects a tradition of broad based pro-grams, led by administrators and coaches who place aconstant emphasis on academic integrity. Its studentathletes own significantly high graduation rates andtheir record of scholastic achievement notably show abalance between intercollegiate athletics and academ-ics.Any successful organization has been fortunate to

have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, theleague’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years theassociate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in1990. In his first year, he administered the formationof The BIG EAST Football Conference.For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one sig-

nificant change. Tranghese stepped down from his posi-tion on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has servedas senior associate commissioner, has moved into theCommissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in

innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, partic-ularly regarding television. Those efforts have resultedin unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-ath-letes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing rela-tionships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sell-

outs at campus and major public arenas, including theannual men’s BIG EAST Championship in MadisonSquare Garden.

The University of Notre Dame has become astaple in the NCAA Division I Women’s

Volleyball Championship under the watch of headcoach Debbie Brown after making just one visit tothe tournament before her arrival. The Irish earned15 consecutive bids to the NCAAs from 1992-2006to become just one of eight schools that appearedin each of the 15 NCAA tournaments over thatstretch (along with Stanford, Penn State, UC SantaBarbara, Nebraska, Long Beach State, USC, andFlorida). The Irish have an all-time record of 14-16in NCAA Championship play, highlighted by sixtrips to the round of 16 and a finish in the 1993quarterfinal.The Irish made the most of their first-ever

NCAA berth in 1988 by upsetting No. 20 PennState in the opening round. Notre Dame then trav-eled to No. 4 Illinois and took the Illini to the wirebefore falling in five games. The 1993 squad puttogether the school’s deepest postseason run com-pliments to wins over No. 8 Nebraska at home inthree games and a five-game win at Minnesota toreach the quarterfinals. That team’s run ended atthe hands of No. 7 Penn State. The Irish also wereamong the final 16 in each of the next two seasons

(1994-95) and completed a stretch of four round-of-16 appearances in five years with a second-round win over No. 18 Arkansas in 1997. NotreDame returned to the final 16 in 2005, beatingDayton and Northwestern at home before losing infive games to No. 12 Wisconsin.Notre Dame has played host to NCAA

Tournament action on seven occasions, going 8-2on its home court. The Irish stayed at home forfirst-round play in 1988 and 1993-1995 beforehosting first- and second-round action in 1996,2002 and 2005.The NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball

Championship began in 1981 with a 20-team field.From 1982-85, 28 teams earned invitations untilthe field expanded to 32 teams in 1986. In 1993,the invitation list was enlarged to 48 with 16 teamsgaining first-round byes. After one year of experi-mentation with a 56-squad event (1997), with thetop eight seeds receiving opening byes, the current64-team format was adopted in 1998.

• 206-42 (.831)under head coach Debbie Brown

Notre Dame’s Joyce Center, the home of Irish vol-leyball since the establishment of the varsity programin 1980, has become one of the most difficult sites inthe nation for road teams to win, especially since thearrival of head coach Debbie Brown in 1991. Over the last 16 years, Notre Dame has posted a

198-41 home record for an impressive .829 winningpercentage, including perfect marks of 17-0 and 12-0during the 1994 and 2001 campaigns, respectively.The Irish have pieced together a variety of impres-

sive winning streaks on their home floor. Notre Damehas won 14 or more matches in a row at home on fivedifferent occasions, highlighted by a streak of 27straight home wins from 1993-95 and a program-best36-match winning streak from 2000-02.The Joyce Center may not be a favorite venue for

league opponents, as Notre Dame won 74 consecutiveregular-season conference matches in the Joyce Centerfrom Brown’s arrival in 1991 through the 2004 cam-paign. Upon joining the BIG EAST Conference in1995, the first 61 league teams to play in the JoyceCenter were defeated before Pittsburgh upset the Irishin the 2003 BIG EAST Championship finale. On 15 occasions, Notre Dame has topped ranked

teams in the Joyce Center, including five wins over top-10 opponents. In 1993, the Irish downed nationalpower Nebraska twice at home, first defeating the

third-ranked Cornhuskers in four sets in the GoldenDome Invitational in September and then winning inthree games in the second round of the NCAAChampionship when Nebraska was No. 8 in thenation. Other notable wins in the Joyce Center includea set triumph over No. 9 USC in 1995, and a five-setmarathon victory vs. No. 10 Pepperdine in the 2002Golden Dome Invitational. In 2005, the Irish boastedhome wins over both No. 11 Texas and No. 6Louisville.In 29 seasons of volleyball action, Notre Dame

holds a 278-87 (.762) mark in the Joyce Center, whichcelebrated its 35th year of service to the University in2003. The facility also serves as a multipurpose sportscomplex, a theatre and concert hall, a convention cen-ter, and an office building.The first-ever volleyball match played in the north

dorm of the facility (also known as “the FieldHouse”) was in 2007, when No. 7 Florida handed theIrish a 3-1 defeat. The Irish will return to the FieldHouse for the bulk of the 2009 season as the JoyceCenter will be renovated throughout the year.The building was renamed in 1987 to honor Rev.

Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s executive vicepresident from 1952 until his retirement in 1987.Formerly known as the Athletic and ConvocationCenter (ACC), the structure is now referred to as theJoyce Center.Notre Dame volleyball played its matches in “the

Pit,” an intimate gymnasium in the basement of theJoyce Center, from 1980-83 until increased attendanceserved as the impetus for a move to the basketballarena. The Irish played in “the Pit” again in 1986 dueto renovation, but other than that, have had theirhome matches in the south arena since 1984. In 1999,a new Sport Court volleyball-only playing surfacedebuted in the Joyce Center, completing the facility’sevolution into one of the top volleyball venues in thecountry.Interest in the Irish volleyball program has steadily

increased over the past several of seasons, as crowds ofmore than 1,000 have taken in Notre Dame matcheson 51 occasions since 2000. The six largest gatherings– all over 3,000 fans – came for matches precedingfootball pep rallies, held in the Joyce Center on Fridaysbefore home games. In 2003, the Notre Dame-VirginiaTech match-up that ended with a thrilling five-set Irishvictory was played before a record crowd of 8,643. Thatseason also featured the largest-ever non-pep rallycrowd for volleyball, as 2,715 witnessed Notre Damebeat rival Miami in three games in a match televisedlive by College Sports Television (CSTV). Over 1,500fans were in attendance when the Irish downed No. 17Louisville, 3-1, in the 2007 Senior Day match televisedby ESPNU.

WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)You are, if:

you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.•

you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization • promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.)

you have ever made financial contributions to the University of • Notre Dame athletics department.

you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any • benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport.•

you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of • Notre Dame.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETEA student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a

varsity athletics team.NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those student-

athletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship.

*Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.

DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)DOYou may:

contact a current student-athlete regarding employment • opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office.

provide a student-athlete, not their family and friends, an • occasional (once a semester) meal at your home.

DON’TYou may not:

provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends • any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office. pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of • transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends.entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: • NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.)use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete • to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office.provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a • student-athlete to return home or to any other location.provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All • awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations. provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking • engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office.allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your • telephone to make free calls.

NCAA COMPLIANCEREGULATIONS

Thank you for your tremendous support of our entire athletics program. Our 800+ student-athletes, our coaches and administrative staff are very appreciative of your spirit and affinity for Notre Dame, in particular intercollegiate athletics.

Our Compliance Office staff stands prepared to assist you with your

questions and concerns regarding NCAA regulations. Please contact us immediately should you have concern regarding any situation. Your attention to these matters will ensure that the eligibility of both prospective student-athletes (“recruits”) and enrolled student-athletes is protected and maintained. Again, many thanks for your cooperation in this matter and your ongoing support.

provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a student-• athlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETEA prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes

for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes.

* Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE:(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

DOforward • information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff.have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible pre-• enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent. have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect • initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided • you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. • Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.

DON’TYou may not:

write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her • parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame.become involved in making arrangements to provide money, • financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends.make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her • parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit.contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National • Letter of Intent to attend the University.transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for • a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for • a prospect.provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends • without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated. We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University.

To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics. Please remember to ask before you act!

HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of “dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.
