With eight returners, seven se-niors, an outsider looking at the surface of the Park University

women’s volleyball program would see a team that should have it all sewn up and figured out heading into a new year. Mix in a new coach, four newcomers and a program coming off of one of col-legiate volleyball’s best year-to-year turn-arounds, and it grabs your attention, but in a good way. Mike Talamantes, who is no stranger to nationally acclaimed program turn-arounds, comes to Park after winning 25 matches last season at Occidental Col-lege in California, an NCAA Division III school that, before Talamantes’ arrival, had struggled on the volleyball court. At Park, Talamantes inherits a first-year coach’s dream and a first-year re-cruiter’s nightmare, with seven seniors and a talented junior class in waiting. Tala-mantes has his work cut out for him on the recruiting trail for 2012, but for now, he’s focused on the potential the 2011 group brings to the table.

“We have eight returners from the 2010 squad, with seven of them seniors, so honestly from a motivation standpoint I really haven’t had to do much,” Talaman-tes said. “Most of the group was together when the team won a total of 7 matches before coming back and winning 19 last year, so having felt both types of seasons, they are extremely motivated to finish with a winning season.” Mariana Vogado, a senior from Brasil-ia, Brazil, is one of those seniors who has witnessed, first-hand, the ups and downs the program has experienced in the last three years. Vogado will play for her third coach in four seasons as a Pirate. It’s tough, because every coach has a new philosophy, but every coach also wants the same thing – to win,” Vogado said. “That can be a tough process, be-cause we have to learn about each other in the beginning, but we all have the same goals in mind and there’s a lot of maturity with seven seniors and a coach who has been through some of the same things we have in the last couple of years.”

One area that needed immediate at-tention from new faces was the setting po-sition, where Park is without one of its best all-time setters, statistically, losing Crystal Cole, who wrapped up her four-year ca-reer by joining the 1,000-assist club on senior night against William Woods. To fill Cole’s shoes, a pair of local newcom-ers are in the program, including a Bobbi Jones, a freshman from Cole’s home town (Kearney, Mo.), and Kathryn Partdridge, an incoming junior from Liberty, Mo., who played at MCC-Longview in 2010. “We are changing our system and one of the keys to our success will be how fast both of our new setters adapt,” Tala-mantes said. “Both Kat and Bobbi have worked extremely hard in camp and I feel both bring different things to the court, so it will be interesting to see who gets the start on Aug. 26.” Park also added a pair of offensive threats on the outside, including Patricia Souza, who could turn heads early in the American Midwest Conference. Souza is one of four Brazilian-born players on the

Mariana Vogado (left), Gabriela Garcia (middle) and Ashley Robinson (right) are three of Park’s seven seniors in the 2011 season. Vogado and Robinson were both first-team all-conference performers in the American Midwest Conference, and Garcia was an honorable mention All-AMC honoree in the 2009 season. Vanessa Lawrenz (facing page), also a senior, was an honorable mention all-conference selection last season after leading Park’s defense at nearly five digs per set.

roster, joining Vogado, Gabriela Garcia and Rafaella Chaves. Janell Jordan, a freshman from Kansas City’s O’Hara High School, will also battle for outside hitting time, pushing Vogado, who averaged a team-high 3.27 kills per set, and Kristin Beck, another senior that averaged 1.27 kills a year ago. “We’ve rounded out our roster with some significant additions, most nota-bly Patricia, who will be one of the fo-cal points of our offense,” Talamantes said. “You always want a balanced attack, but Patricia has something special, and I could see her being someone we look to late in matches, not only because of her power and athleticism, but also because of how she’s already slid into a leadership role. She carries herself very professionally and has done so throughout our pre-season activities.” Park also returns its top blocker from a year ago, getting 80 blocks, including 26 solo stuffs, from Ashley Robinson, Rachel Stagg, a junior from Independence, will provide depth at the middle-blocking position. Defensively, the Pirates return last season’s libero, Vanessa Lawrenz, who averaged more than four digs per set as a newcomer in 2010, transfer-ring to Park for her junior season from Rochester Community Technical College. Lawrenz has also developed into a leader, for the Pirates, after an adjustment as a junior. “This year I know what to expect, I think,” Lawrenz said. “Now I know what kind of competition is ahead of us, and as a team, we’re used to playing with each other and being around each other as a group.” Chavez and an-other senior defensive specialist, Ashley Reinert, will add to the Pirates’ back line, which helped hold opponents to a .043 hitting percentage in 2010. “There’s a lot of maturity on this team, and we expect to go far,” Lawrenz said. “The way last year ended was a disappointment, but I expect growth from that physically, mentally and emotionally. I think that will make us a better team by the end of the year. Coach (Talamantes) is a lot like us (the seniors). He pulls every-thing possible from us every time we go out there and he expects us to leave it all on the court.” Lawrenz and Garcia, who averaged

nearly two kills per game and 1.36 digs, have been integral parts of Talamantes’ adjustment as a first-year coach, talking with Talamantes on a regular basis since he first became a part of the Park Univer-sity family in July. “The adjustment period has been pretty seamless, to tell the truth,” Tala-

mantes said. “During my interview, I spent a lot of time talking to Gabi and Vanessa about some of the things I would want to do and when we started

fall camp, they were able to

help me put some of those things in mo-tion. That helped a lot. I like player-led teams, and right now, this group has been giving me everything they have. I like our chances on continuing the improvement this program has already had.” Vogado agreed, adding high expecta-tions for 2011. “I expect a lot, and my teammates know that,” she said. “I think we are a tal-ented team and we know what works after playing together, for some of us, for four years. We are mentally prepared to get the results we want, I think, and I have my standards set high. It’s going to be a good year. This team seems to be on the same page, and we’re committed to making this our best year, for the seniors, that we’ve had since coming to Park.”

Park University is a third-year mem-ber in the American Midwest Confer-ence, joining in the 2009-10 school

year, rejoining the league after nine years of membership in the MCAC and as an NAIA Independent in basketball. Park previously held membership in the AMC from 1993 to 2000, exiting the league following the spring semester in 2000. Park is one of nine AMC member in-stitutions, joining Columbia College, Han-nibal-LaGrange College, Harris-Stowe State University, Missouri Baptist Univer-sity, Stephens College, William Woods University and Williams Baptist College as returning members. New in 2011-12, Benedictine University at Springfield joins the American Midwest Conference, re-placing McKendree University, which left at the end of the 2010-11 academic year. The AMC sponsors championships in 13 different sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s track and field, and volleyball. The purpose of the American Mid-west Conference is to promote the posi-tive ideals and objectives of athletics, to provide an organization of colleges and universities with similar foundations to en-gage in athletic contests on an equal ba-sis, to serve as a forum to formulate and solve common problems, to enhance and preserve athletics in their true perspective and to promote athletics in an academic environment. The American Midwest Con-ference also compiles a Presidents Cup, where schools earn points for conference finishes in all sports. McKendree captured the 2009-10 President’s Cup. Park fin-ished fourth in the 2009-10 standings.

MIKE TALAMANTESHead Women’s Volleyball Coach (1st Season) • 48-33 Overall

Mike Talamantes begins his first year at the helm of Park University’s volleyball programs in 2011-12, becoming the sixth head coach in the history of the men’s vol-

leyball program, and the seventh head coach in the history of the women’s program at Park University. Talamantes comes to Park after his most recent stop as the head women’s volleyball coach at Occi-dental College, an NCAA Division III institution in Los Angeles, Calif., where he coached the Tigers for three seasons, from 2008 to 2010. In 2008, Talamantes overhauled an Occidental program that had averaged four wins per year in the pre-vious five seasons. He led Occidental to a 5-5 finish in its last 10 matches of the 2008 season, and the Tigers won more matches than any Occidental squad in eight years despite going without a senior, put-ting a starting lineup on the floor that included just three student-athletes with prior collegiate playing experience. The 2009 season brought more change to the Occidental volleyball program under Tala-mantes’ tutelage, when the Tigers completed their best season since 2001, posting 15 wins and the program’s best conference finish in nine seasons. On the heels of a nine-player fresh-man class, Occidental won the Tiger Fall Classic tournament championship, and the team had its first all-conference player since 2002. Occidental also beat a region-ally ranked program, defeating Pomona Pitzer, helping the team finish 7-2 over its final nine matches, missing the con-ference tournament by one spot. In 2010, Talamantes put his finish-ing stamp on the Occidental women’s volleyball program, leading the Tigers to a 25-8 record, one of the most successful seasons in school history. His Tigers posted a school-record 12-match winning streak, only after a 10-match winning streak earlier in the season, helping the team reach as high as No. 3 in its regional rankings, earning a spot in the NCAA Division III national poll. Occidental beat its first nationally ranked opponent since the 2001 season, using four sets to knock off Redlands in September, and the team secured its first postseason appearance since 1983, finishing sec-ond in the SCIAC, its best showing in the conference since 1992. Talamantes coached an All-American in 2010, as sophomore outside hitter Logan Boyer-Hayse was an AVCA All-American at season’s end, af-ter earning MVP honors at the Tiger Fall Classic,

All-Tournament at Colorado College’s Marriott Spike It Up Clas-sic, First-Team All-SCIAC and First-Team All-West Region. Tala-mantes also coached a pair of freshmen who earned individual accolades, including Jessie Altman’s all-tournament awards at

Colorado College and Stephanie Gann’s all-conference and all-region honors at season’s end. Gann was also the first student-athlete in Occidental’s volleyball program history to be named SCIAC’s Freshman of the Year. Prior to Talamantes’ three-year stint at Occidental, he was a successful boys’ and girls’ high school coach in California, coaching the girls at Rosary High School in

Orange County, helping transform a program that had not qualified for the playoffs in its previous

six seasons, leading Rosary to four-straight playoff appearances and helping the pro-gram to top 10 recognition in Division One and in Orange County. His girls’ teams battled some of the top high school programs in California, including Mater Dei, Orange Lutheran and Santa Margarita, members of the rugged Trinity League. In his final three seasons at Rosary, Talamantes led the Royals to a semifinal appearance in 2005, followed by back-to-back ap-pearances in the round of 16. In addition to his girls’ coaching duties at Rosary, Talamantes also coached the boys’ volleyball team at Viewpoint High School in the San Fernando Val-ley. He led Viewpoint boys’ volleyball to new heights, winning four consecutive CIF championships, putting together three-straight 30-win seasons and

a finish in the top 10 in the Daily News final poll in three of his final four seasons. Through his prep career, Ta-lamantes trained players that went on to play at Cal, UC-Santa Bar-

bara, Loyola Marymount, USC, Le Moyne College, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Dominguez Hills, St. Peter’s, Newbury College, Florida International, San Diego State, UCLA, Army, Regis, Occidental and Embry-Riddle.

RECAPPING THE 2010 SEASON

• Park began the season with a tough stretch at the Grand View Invitational, winning the season opener over Missouri Valley before falling three times, consecu-tively. Park rebounded in its own triangular to begin the month of September, though, beating the University of Saint Mary and Avila University, needing just seven sets to claim the triangular championship.

• The Pirates’ season truly took shape in the Graceland Pizza Shack Invitational Sept. 10-11 in Lamoni, Iowa, when the team rebounded from a five-set loss to the University of Saint Francis by beating Culver-Stockton College, Mount Mercy and Mayville State University to begin a four-game winning streak that also includ-ed a win over MidAmerica Nazarene that snapped a three-year long losing skid to the Pioneers.

• Park dropped its conference opener at Missouri Baptist University but won twice at Williams Baptist College, and after back-to-back wins over Harris-Stowe State Uni-versity and Stephens College, Park found itself with a 4-2 record in the American Midwest Conference. The Pirates also got another nonconference win, beating Avila for a second time to improve to 13-6.

• The Pirates hit a rough stretch of confer-ence matches at home to begin October, falling in straight-sets to McKendree and Columbia, and in five sets to Hannibal-LaGrange, but another winning streak started on Oct. 7 when the Pirates cruised past Haskell Indian Nations University in a nonconference match before also beat-ing Missouri Valley, Missouri Baptist and

Hannibal-LaGrange to record a four-game winning streak.

• The streak also netted Park its first con-ference player of the week in the AMC, as Ashley Robinson earned the award after the wins over Missouri Valley and Missouri Baptist. She later went on to be joined by Mariana Vogado on the American Mid-west Conference’s first team, followed by Crystal Cole and Vanessa Lawrenz, who were honorable mention all-conference honorees. Park also had seven academic all-conference honorees.

• McKendree and Columbia handed Park back-to-back road league losses on Oct. 23 and Oct. 26 before the regular season concluded at home with a 2-1 record on a three-match homestand, winning games

against Stephens and Harris-Stowe before a loss on senior night to William Woods University. In the senior night match, set-ter Crystal Cole became the newest mem-ber of the 1,000-assist club at Park, finish-ing her career with 1,038 assists from the setting position.

• Park’s season ended in the first round of the American Midwest Conference tour-nament at McKendree, a three-set loss to the Bearcats that pulled the plug on Park’s bid for 20 wins.

• Park had a pair of Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes at season’s end, as Bethany Buehler (above) and Crystal Cole (below), Park’s only two seniors, earned the NAIA’s highest academic honor at the end of the regular season.

The 2010 women’s volleyball season was one of the most remarkable in Park University volleyball history, turning the tables on a seven-win season in 2009 by winning 12 more matches, marking one of collegiate volleyball’s top year-to-year turn-arounds in the 2010 season and producing the school’s first .500 conference record since the 2008 campaign.

niversity

Park University calls Parkville, Mo., and the Greater Kansas

City area home, offering students the features of both small-town life and the flashing lights of a big city. With a population of more than 4,000, Parkville allows students the small-town lifestyle and tightly knit community often times as-sociated with small college athletics and the NAIA. Originally a trading post on the Missouri River, Parkville grew as Kansas City boomed in the late 1800s, which included the founding of Park Univer-sity. Both the University and the city get their names from Col. George S. Park, who played a key role in the early de-velopment of the area. Today, Parkville’s historic downtown district, coupled with new shopping areas to the north and east, gives Park University students multiple entertainment opportunities within the area. Parkville sits within the Northland area of metropolitan Kansas City, which encompasses 15 counties, nine of which are in Missouri and six across the state line in Kansas. The Northland is locally re-ferred to as “north of the river.” Contained wholly within Missouri, it encompasses portions of Platte and Clay counties, in-cluding the northern half of Kansas City, Mo., and the cities of Parkville, Gladstone, Liberty and North Kansas City. Kansas City is situated at the conflu-ence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers, often referred to as Kaw Point, straddling the border between the two states.

The Kansas City Metropolitan Statisti-cal Area, anchored by Kansas City, Mo., is the 29th largest in the United States, with an estimated population just over 2 mil-lion. A tradition-rich city known for its bar-becue and storied sports history, Kansas City is currently home to Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals, the Kan-sas City Chiefs of the National Football League, Major League Soccer’s Sport-ing Kansas City and the Kansas Speed-way, which hosts multiple NASCAR and IRL events throughout the year, including two Sprint Cup Series event in the spring and fall. Kansas City is also home to the Kansas City T-Bones independent league baseball franchise and the Kansas City Explorers of World TeamTennis. The Sprint Center and the Power & Light District in the downtown area is one of the region’s top entertainment areas. The Sprint Center also houses the College Basketball Experience, which includes the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. A few blocks away sits historic Mu-

nicipal Auditorium, home to the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. In 2011, Park University made its third appearance in five sea-sons, and its fifth overall, in the national tournament. Additionally, the National Association of Intercolle-giate Athletics moved its offices downtown in 2007. Kansas City is also known for its historic shop-ping districts, including Westport and the Country Club Plaza, which is one of the world’s largest outdoor shopping areas designed for motor-vehicle traffic.

Commonly referred to as “The Plaza,” it is home to one of the nation’s largest holiday light displays between Thanksgiving and January. In the Northland, Zona Rosa has become a popular shopping district, while Leawood Town Center and The Legends at Village West in Kansas City, Kan., keep shoppers occupied in Kansas.

BEST VALUE, nATIOnWIDEPark continues to increase access to higher education by offering the quality undergraduate and graduate degrees stu-dents desire at locations, times and deliv-ery formats that best serve their needs. In 2010, the University was ranked as the No. 1 value among private colleges and universities by Parents & Colleges, an on-line resource for parents of college-bound students. According to Parents & Colleges, in-stitutions included on this list offer a diver-sity of degrees, have affordable tuitions and/or offer generous financial aid, and

report the highest SAT or ACT scores for the incom-ing class. Park was cited as offering “both proximity to big-city excitement and the safe, relaxed atmosphere of a small town… the stu-dent body represents 50 states and 100 countries, and the school prides itself on its diversity and global outlook. Tuition for full-time undergraduates is a frac-tion of other private insti-tutions, and average class size and student-to-faculty ratio are low.”

FOUNDEDFounded in 1875 in Parkville, Mo., Park University has devel-oped into a comprehensive, independent institution that is a national leader in high-er education. In 2000, Park achieved uni-versity status and now serves more than 24,000 students annually at 40 campus centers in 21 states and online. Serving an ethnically diverse student population and non-traditional adult learn-ers has, for many years, been central to Park’s educational mission. Even in its first year, Park University enrolled women stu-dents as well as men, something that was unusual at the time; and two of the original 17 students were Native Americans. Park was also an early integrator when it wel-comed African-American students to live in Park’s residence halls in the 1950s.

PRESENTProviding such access has developed considerable diversity among the student population, with more than 650 interna-tional students from 110 countries, and a 42 percent student representation from racial, ethnic and cultural groups typi-cally underrepresented in colleges and universities. The University has repeat-edly been recognized as one of the top 100 American colleges/universities in the nation graduating Hispanic, Afri-can-American and American-Indian students. In addition, extracurricu-lar activities and championship-caliber athletic programs comple-ment Park’s outstanding scholastic programs. Park offers numerous degree programs online, and it maintains a long-standing relationship with the U.S. military for which it has been recognized as one of the largest providers of online undergradu-ate education to military learners worldwide. Park has received inter-

national recognition by Military Advanced Education magazine as one of its “Top 20 Military-Friendly Colleges and Universi-ties,” citing Park’s “innovative academic degree programs steeped in excellence.”

LOCATIONThe flagship campus of Park University is located on a historic site in Parkville, Mo., situated on a bluff above the scenic Mis-souri River. The Parkville Campus is 10 minutes from downtown Kansas City, 15 minutes from Kansas City International Airport, and is part of the KCI Business Corridor. In addition, Park Distance Learn-ing has established campus centers on military installations across the U.S. and online. Park’s School of Graduate and Pro-fessional Studies is located at our down-town Kansas City, Mo., Campus Center. Park also serves the Kansas City metro-politan area with campuses in Indepen-dence and Lexington, Mo. In addition to our military campus centers throughout the country, Park also has a campus in Austin, Texas.

The 2011-12 academic year will add to the list of facil-ity improvements under English’s watch, when the Park University cross country and track and field squads will begin the season with a new track adjacent to Julian Field, a 1,500-seat soccer stadium also built under English’s watch in 2001. Breckon Sports Center, home to Park’s volleyball and basketball programs, as well as the baseball and softball com-plexes, have continued to see playing-surface and aesthetic upgrades in Eng-lish’s 15 years as Athletics Director. In 2010-11, English was honored for his service as an athletics administra-tor by being inducted into the McLendon Minority Athletics Administrators Hall of Fame, June 23, 2010, in Anaheim, Calif., representing the NAIA in a group of seven individuals honored by the John McLen-don Minority Scholarship Foundation.

English began his affiliation with Park University in the 1992-93 men’s basketball season, coaching the Pirates through the end of the 2004-05 cam-paign. For his final 10 sea-sons at the helm of the Park

men’s basketball program, Eng-lish also assumed the duties of Director of Athletics, a position he will continue into his 15th year in the 2011-12 academic year. English is the winningest coach in Park Univer-sity men’s bas-ketball history, compiling 182 wins to push his overall win total to 227. From 1981 to 1984, English was the head men’s basketball coach at his alma mater, Rhode Island, where he was named Atlantic-10 Conference Coach of the Year in the 1981-82 season. His coaching tenure at Park was highlighted by the Pirates’ run to the NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament semifinal round in 1997-98, which ended with a school-record mark of 27-8.

tion Championship with the Capitals. He was a three-year captain at Hartford. As Director of Athletics at Park, the Pirates have captured 50 conference

championships, and in each of his 15 previous seasons as athletics di-

rector, at least one Park pro-gram has advanced to NAIA postseason play each year. Also during his run as Direc-tor of Athletics, 86 student-athletes have been named NAIA All-Ameri-cans, including a track and field national cham-pion in the NAIA

marathon, and 179 student-athletes

have earned Daktron-ics-NAIA Scholar Athlete

honors. In 2008-09, Park Uni-versity’s department of athletics carried an overall grade point average better than 3.0, and the Pirates

earned a school record seven NAIA scholar teams, marking more than half of the department’s programs posting a team GPA of 3.0 or better. In 2010-11, Park narrowly missed its school record for scholar teams, landing six on the list, in-cluding first-time honorees as the baseball and men’s basketball teams achieved better than 3.0 team GPAs.
