In 2004, Stanford reached the title match of the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years, and once again with Dunning at the helm, captured the NCAA crown with a three-game sweep over Minnesota. His overall record of (.857) on The Farm is equally as impressive. In 20 years as a head coach at Pacific ( ) and Stanford (2001-), Dunning has chalked up an impressive record of (.820) and his winning percentage (.820) ranks among the top five winningest active coaches in NCAA history (Division I). In 2005, Dunning was named recipient (along with Penn State s Russ Rose) of the USA Volleyball All-Time Great Coach Awards.

Dunning had two athletes named AVCA All-Americans including National Player of the Year Logan Tom. Three players garnered first-team All-Pac-10 honors while one, Ogonna Nnamani, was tabbed Conference Freshman of the Year as well as ASICS/Volleyball Magazine National Freshman of the Year. Dunning, who spent 16 seasons at Pacific before coming to Stanford, compiled an impressive (.811) record during his tenure in Stockton. He led the Tigers to two NCAA Championships, an NCAA runner-up finish, five Big West Conference titles and 16 consecutive NCAA postseason tournament bids. In 2000, Dunning earned Big West Coach of the Year honors for a second straight season, as the Tigers won a second consecutive Big West title. His squad posted a 28-4 overall record and a 15-1 mark in league play. Pacific lost to UCLA in an NCAA Regional Semifinal and had two players earn All- American status (one first-team and one second-team selection). In addition, Dunning had four players garner first-team All-Big West accolades. In addition to back-to-back national titles in 1985 and 1986, Dunning led his teams to a combined record of in postseason action - an unmatched 10-1 record in Big West Conference Tournament play and a stellar mark in the NCAA Tournament. Of the 16 squads coached by Dunning, 14 reached the NCAA Regionals, or Sweet 16, advancing to the regional championship match seven times and the NCAA Final Four on four occasions, including He also earned Volleyball Monthly National Coach of the Year kudos in 1985, his first season at UOP.

In his 16 years as Pacific s head coach, 16 of his athletes garnered a total of 29 All-America awards. Nine of the 16 honorees earned All- America selections in at least two seasons. Dunning can also make another claim: he is one of only two coaches to have captured national titles on three different levels.

His teams were among the top five in the state each of his last six years, also capturing eight league titles and six sectional crowns. Dunning has also been considered one of the top coaches on a national level, as he was selected to coach the North squad at the 1995 U.S. Olympic Festival. He promptly led the team to a gold medal. From 1993 to 1994, Dunning served as President of the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

12 2005 Stanford Volleyball Outlook The 2005 roster features an exciting blend of veterans and young players. Stanford head volleyball coach John Dunning looks intently at the 2005 Stanford roster and he definitely likes what he sees. It s a roster that features talent, dedicated student-athletes, and a nice blend of veterans and young players. With continued hard work and defined team goals, the pieces are there to make another attempt at winning an NCAA Championship. We are in some ways young and in other ways very mature, said Dunning who has coached Stanford to two NCAA titles in four seasons at Stanford. We may not know until later in the season just where we are headed. But one thing is for sure; it will be exciting. Stanford lost one of its all-time great players to graduation, Ogonna Nnamani, who won numerous athletic and academic awards last year including AVCA Player of the Year, and Collegiate Woman of the Year (Honda/Broderick Award). Nnamani was a dominant, intimidating player for Stanford opponents, and her presence on the court will be difficult to match. There is no way to replace Ogonna, said Dunning. Kills, blocks, intimidation, team attitude, maturity, Olympic determination and leadership were all a part of Ogonna s personality. Stanford also graduated a second starter, Jen Hucke, who was a steady influence in terms of blocks and kills. Ogonna and Jen both had such great senior years, said Dunning. Leahi Hall was another Stanford senior who graduated. Hall, a defensive specialist/libero, brought excellent defensive skills and a strong work ethic to the court each day. Stanford returns a strong group of players, including five starters. The list includes two-time All Pac-10 selection Kristin Richards, starting setter Bryn Kehoe, middle blocker Lizzie Suiter, outside hitter/middle blocker Franci Girard and libero Courtney Schultz. Richards, a two-year starter and an All Pac-10 selection in 2004, set a school record last year with 502 digs and was second in kills (486). Kehoe etched her name into the Cardinal record book with a school record 1,637 assists as the team s starting setter as a freshman. Suiter dominated at middle blocker with 198 total blocks, second-best in school history. Girard started as a freshman last year and recorded 234 kills, third-best on the team. Schultz averaged 2.61 digs per game as the team s starting libero. Stanford also returns excellent depth with the likes of senior setter Katie Goldhahn, sophomore defensive specialist Kirsten Hornbeak, junior outside hitter Nji Nnamani, and junior middle blockers Michelle Mellard and Jennifer Wilson. We have ten returning players who have worked very hard, said Dunning. All of them are fighting for their chance to help the team. Our late season run to the NCAA title gave us valuable experience as we now head to the 2005 campaign. The Stanford freshman class is nothing short of outstanding. Five new players are entering the Cardinal program, and their S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l

13 2005 Stanford Volleyball Outlook talent and work ethic will help continue Stanford s strong tradition in women s volleyball. The list of newcomers includes Foluke Akinradewo, Cynthia Barboza, Jessica Fishburn, Alex Fisher and Erin Waller. Akinradewo was an outstanding threesport athlete in high school. Akinradewo has been a member of the United States Junior National Team the past three years. Barboza is a very gifted athlete who despite being in high school served as an alternate on the 2004 United States Olympic Team. Barboza s talent is limitless. Fishburn played outside hitter while in high school, but her marvelous ball control skills and her passion for playing defense means that she will probably make the change to defensive specialist and libero at Stanford. Fisher, according to the Cardinal coaching staff, has the talent to make a contribution immediately at the outside hitter position or at the opposite position. Waller has gained experience playing on some of the best club and high school teams in the nation. Waller was named Prep Volleyball Player of the Year. We are excited with the talents and the experience level of our five freshmen, said Dunning. Stanford s 2005 schedule will be challenging, but the Cardinal is ready to face the nation s top teams. The Cardinal will open the year August at the AVCA/NACWAA Showcase in Omaha, Ne. The tournament includes national powers Hawaii, Nebraska and Penn State. We will have to develop quickly as a team, said Dunning. This is hard work and may take time. If we are committed to this and it comes quickly, we could become very good. The Cardinal returns to renovated Maples Pavilion for its home opener at the Stanford Invitational (Sept ). The Cardinal played at Burnham Pavilion last year while Maples Pavilion underwent a $25 million renovation. A total of 12 home matches are slated including a tough Pac-10 schedule that includes national powers Washington, USC and UCLA. We will have lots of competition within the team to see who plays, said Dunning. I think we can become a great defensive team and we have the ability to be a very effective serving team NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN S VOLLEYBALL PALO ALTO REGIONAL Friday-Saturday, December 9-10, 2005 Maples Pavilion, Stanford University The excitement of NCAA Women s Volleyball returns to Maples Pavilion.

39 Friends of Stanford Volleyball Over the last several years, the Stanford women s volleyball program has grown into one of the most successful in the nation. The many outstanding players who have worn the Cardinal and White have made this possible, but outstanding athletes are not the only requirement for a successful program. Fortunately, the Stanford Athletic Department has helped the program by increasing the funding for volleyball as the team s stature has grown. But with the budget concerns now confronting the University, and the difficulties experienced by collegiate athletic programs all across the nation, the Cardinal women s volleyball program is seeking to become more financially self-sufficient. Only in this way can we ensure that Stanford will remain atop the world of collegiate volleyball. This section will hopefully answer some of the most common questions regarding the fund raising campaign. The Quick Set Booster Club offers Stanford women s volleyball fans bus trips to away matches, barbecues and post-match gatherings with the players, among other activities. Any amount given to the club is greatly appreciated and is classified as a general tax-deductible gift to the University as are all gifts to the program. These donations are not used for scholarships, which are funded separately through the Athletic Department s endowed scholarships and the Buck/Cardinal Club, but instead go into the operating budget. That budget includes salaries, travel, equipment, recruiting, administration and every other expense i.e., everything it takes to run the program on a day-to-day and year-to-year basis. Ideally, we would like to raise enough to support the program on the interest that our funds draw. Additionally, that would provide some security in the event the Buck/Cardinal Club comes up short in its fund raising goal. In that instance, money from the volleyball operating budget might be used for scholarships. In addition to personal contributions, you can help the women s volleyball program in other ways. You can assist in fund raising by contacting other people or groups that might be interested in helping or sponsoring the team. More information is available by contacting Cobey Shoji in the Stanford women s volleyball office.

40 Stanford Volleyball Legacy Stanford Volleyball Boasting A Rich Volleyball Legacy Kristin Folkl Steve Lacey photo Since women s volleyball became a varsity sport at Stanford in 1976, the Cardinal has enjoyed a reputation as one of the nation s top programs, in every sense of the word. Not only does Stanford give talented and dedicated student-athletes a chance to get one of the best educations in the world, but Cardinal players have met with nearly unequaled success on national and international courts, both as individuals and as teams. Stanford established itself as the best team in the country in the 1990s winning four of the last eight national titles (1992, 1994, 1996 and 1997). The Cardinal continued the trend in the 2000 s with their unprecedented fifth and sixth national championships in 2001 and Stanford has posted a record 76 NCAA Tournament wins, and is one of only four teams to participate in the NCAA tournament in each of the 24 years since the tournament began. This includes a 15-7, 15-3, 15-5 triumph over Hawaii in the 1996 National Championship match that was the most lopsided final in NCAA history. Stanford has also reached the Final Four 14 times in the last 24 seasons, and produced 49 All-American honors in the last 22 years. Stanford has amassed an amazing all-time record since 1976 (.800 winning percentage), and has finished in the top 10 nationally in 23 of the last 24 seasons. The Cardinal s dominance has been even more apparent as of late. Stanford has lost five or more matches in a season just five times in the last 14 years, and is (.869) in the last nine years alone. The numbers are even more impressive in conference play as Stanford has gone no worse than 17-1 in Pac-10 play only four times since 1994, and has accumulated a (.883) conference mark over the last eleven seasons. The Cardinal has also left its mark internationally as witnessed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics and the 2004 Athens Olympics. Kerri Walsh and Logan Tom, both All-Americans on the 1999 Stanford team that finished as NCAA runner-up, played on the USA National Team in 2000 that finished a surprising fourth. Four of Stanford s former players competed in Atlanta, including Kristin Klein and Bev Oden on the national team, as well as Barbara Fontana and Nancy Reno in beach competition. Kristin Folkl was also selected as the first alternate on the indoor team. In 2004, Logan Tom and Ogonna Nnamani were members of the United States Olympic team in Greece. A look through the all-time Stanford roster will find some of the greatest players to play NCAA women s volleyball, headlined by Kim Oden, class of 86 and the AVCA s Division I Women s Volleyball Player of the Decade for the 1980 s. Oden was a three-time conference Player of the Year and was twice named the nation s top player. She started on the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team and was named Best Hitter after posting the best hitting percentage over the entire Olympic Tournament. Oden, who was also named Best Blocker at the 1990 World Championships, where the U.S. won the bronze medal, was once again a starter on the 1992 U.S. squad that played in Barcelona. She served as the captain of the U.S. squad until her retirement in She returned to the Red, White & Blue to compete in the 1994 Goodwill Games where she was joined there by younger sister Bev (a National Team player from ), Cary Wendell and Kristin Folkl. Folkl, also one of the top collegiate volleyball players of all time and played in the WNBA was a part of the best class in NCAA women s volleyball history. Folkl, Barbara Ifejika, Debbie Lambert, Paula McNamee and Lisa Sharpley combined to go from The group became the first class to ever win three women s volleyball national titles in four years (1994, 1996 and 1997). The group also went 70-2 in the Pac-10 en route to four consecutive conference titles and was an incredible 64-1 at Maples Pavilion. Stanford alums Bobbi Broer, Amy Cooper, Folkl, Nancy Reno, Sharpley, Teresa Smith Richardson, Wendy Rush Humphreys and Walsh have also spent time in the U.S. National Team program along with recent graduates Logan Tom and Ogonna Nnamani. Broer, Rush and Smith have retired but Reno and Walsh are still active and members of the AVP s women s professional beach volleyball tour. Tom, a two-time AVCA National Player of the Year and four-time first-team All-American, is playing professionally overseas as well as continuing her role as a starter with the U.S. National Team that will competd in the 2004 Summer Olympics. Nnamani is the Pac-10 s all-time career kills leader, and is currently playing on the United States National Team. Nnamani was a four-time All- American ( ) at Stanford is among the school s all-time great players. Barbara Fontana is a prime example of what can be done with Stanford s combination of athletics and academics. She and her partner were named the pro beach tour s Newcomers of the Year after the 1991 season and Fontana has continued to excel on the tour. The President of the WPVA in 1995, her teams have consistently been at or near the top of the WPVA. Fontana, who recently passed the California Bar Exam, was also a bronze medalist at the 1994 Goodwill Games NCAA Championship team celebrates after capturing its second title in three years. Stanford won four NCAA titles during the 1990s, and added a fifth title in Several former Cardinal players, including Laura Olesen and Cooper, have also played professional volleyball indoors.

When I decided on Stanford, I realized that I was going to be a part of arguably the best athletic department in the country, a national championship volleyball program, and a university that is known world wide for its academic excellence. However, what I cherish the most about Stanford are the things I did not expect to experience when I decided to attend this university. I did not expect to have such a love for the campus, to be a part of such a supportive and fun studentathlete community, or to be continually surprised and awed by the achievements of my peers. But most of all, I did not expect to be a part of a team that consists of such wonderful women that I now consider my lifelong friends. The experiences and bonds with my teammates are what I will remember most about my Stanford experience." Courtney Schultz S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l 45

I have heard some complain about lack of time, but this is what we signed up to do, and it is worth every second. We get more than just great equipment and gear; we get to experience a life that very few people are lucky enough to encounter. We get to travel everywhere, play in great arenas, be on television, and meet a lot of interesting people. The lack of time also forces procrastinators like myself to get things done on time. Competing in a championship program makes me a very proud participant. I get excited butterflies every time someone asks me, 'How did you guys do this year?' It also makes us a target to our future competitors, so we will have to work that much harder to defend our title. My education at Stanford has been one of the most influential components of my thinking of life in general. We have such rare and excellent professors that everything I learn I feel like I can apply to some aspect of my life. I am lucky to be here."

56 1992 NCAA Championship Team Expectations were once again high for Don Shaw s Stanford club as it entered the 1992 season. After all, the Cardinal was coming off its best season ever, a 30-2 campaign that included a Pac-10 title and an 18-0 conference record. But the graduation loss of three players Nicole Appleman, Amy Cooper and Kristin Klein who had a combined eight seasons of starting experience, meant that the 1992 squad would not have it easy. Easy it wasn t, but the Cardinal still achieved its ultimate goal winning its first-ever NCAA title. The Cardinal (31-2 overall) did it by upsetting previously unbeaten UCLA 15-8, 15-9, 6-15, in the championship match in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Stanford won the crown behind seniors Carrie Feldman, Bev Oden and Jennifer Jackson and freshman Cary Wendell. Oden finished the season with a.372 hitting percentage, 478 kills, 257 digs, 101 block assists, 37 block solos and 24 aces, while Jackson had 262 kills, 223 digs and 18 aces. Wendell, the National Freshman of the Year, had 353 kills and 323 digs and Feldman had 1248 assists, 206 digs and 55 block assists. The road to Albuquerque was definitely not an easy one. Stanford opened the season with a grueling eight-match road trip, but came home 8-0, including wins at #2 Long Beach State, #5 Illinois and #13 Brigham Young. When the Cardinal returned home, #6 USC and #1 UCLA were waiting. Stanford beat USC in four games, but lost to the Bruins the next night when they dropped the fifth game Stanford then reeled off eight straight wins after the loss to the Bruins, losing just two games in the process. UCLA then handed Stanford its second loss of the season, winning in Los Angeles in three games. But the Cardinal would not lose again. Stanford won nine in a row to close the regular season, including wins over #13 UC Santa Barbara and #4 Pacific en route to the tournament title at the Bankers Classic in Stockton. Stanford entered the The 1992 NCAA Championship Team. Back (l to r):mgr. Keith Marrack, Trainer Dava Reeder, Asst.

NCAA Tournament having won 27 of its last 28 games, and got another break when the seeds were announced. Because Stanford was ranked second nationally behind UCLA, it was moved out of the West Regional and into the Mideast. This assured that the Bruins and Cardinal would not have to meet until the championship match. That s exactly what happened. After sweeping Pittsburgh at home, the Cardinal captured the Mideast Regional crown by beating #9 Penn State in three and winning at #6 Illinois in four. The Cardinal then took advantage of its first Final Four appearance in five years by easing past Long Beach State 15-10, 15-12, 6-15, 15-9 behind 21 kills apiece from Oden and Wendell. The third time then turned out to be a charm when the Bruins and Cardinal met in the title match. Behind all-tournament selections Feldman, Oden and Wendell, the Cardinal avenged its previous two losses to the Bruins with a four-game win to claim its first NCAA title.

After dispatching of three Pac-10 foes and #4 Ohio State to reach the NCAA Finals, it was only fitting that UCLA was on the other side of the net for the championship match. The Cardinal and Bruins had already met twice previously in the title match, including Stanford s 1992 National Championship season, and the Bruins also handed Stanford its only loss during the 1994 regular season. And like 1992, Stanford came out on top, defeating its California rival 15-10, 5-15, 16-14, The win helped the Cardinal claim its second NCAA title in three years, and conclude its best season ever. The Cardinal finished with a 32-1 record, its third straight Pac-10 title and a 12-match winning streak. Stanford had also won 24 consecutive games before dropping the second game of the championship match to UCLA. For the second straight season, Stanford entered the 1994 campaign ranked No. 1 in the country. With a young team in 1993, the Cardinal went 22-7 and lost in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. And with three freshmen in the starting lineup, the 1994 team was even younger. Stanford had no trouble living up to the ranking, however, by winning its first 20 matches. The Cardinal lost just four games during that stretch, which included wins over arch-rival UCLA and eight other ranked opponents. Stanford caught fire thanks to an old reliable junior Cary Wendell and a promising newcomer freshman Kristin Folkl. Wendell was named the NCAA Player of the Year by Volleyball Magazine, while Folkl was a First Team All-American. Junior Marnie Triefenbach earned Second Team All- American honors, while Folkl and Lisa Sharpley were named to the National All-Freshman Team. The Cardinal finished the regular season with a 27-1 record, including a 17-1 mark and first-place finish in the Pac-10. The only blemish on the record was a five-game loss at UCLA, though the Cardinal bounced back with a five-game win at then-no. 13 USC the next night. The first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament then had a decidedly familiar feeling to them. In those matches, the Cardinal posted three-game sweeps against conference rivals Washington, Arizona State and USC to advance to the Final Four in Austin, Texas. In the NCAA semifinal match, Stanford shut down Ohio State s highly touted offense in a 15-11, 15-9, 15-7 win. The Buckeyes were second in the nation in hitting percentage coming into the match, but hit just.079 against Don Shaw s club. Folkl hit.423 with 15 kills to lead the winners, while Wendell hit.444 with 19 assists, 10 digs and eight kills. Two nights later against UCLA, the Cardinal was down in the third game with the match tied at a game apiece. But Stanford saved six game points to pull out a win. The Bruins jumped out to a lead in the fourth game, but Stanford reeled off the next five points, culminated by Eileen Murfee s block, to clinch the national title. Folkl had a career-high 25 kills and 10 digs to pace the champions, while Triefenbach had a season-high 23 kills and 17 digs and Sharpley 52 assists, 21 digs and eight blocks to cap a season that will be remembered as one of Stanford s best ever in any sport.

Stanford University did more than just win its third NCAA Women s Volleyball Championship on December 21, It turned in one of the most dominating performances in collegiate women s volleyball history. In that championship match, Stanford defeated Hawaii 15-3, 15-7, 15-5 in just 91 minutes before a national television audience. The 15 points scored by the Rainbow Wahine was the lowest in championship match history (old record 18 Long Beach State d. Nebraska 15-12, 15-0, 15-6, 1989) and the second lowest in Final Four history (record 12 UCLA d. San Jose State 15-6, 15-2, 15-4, 1984). I ve said all along that if this team plays to its potential it can be scary, Stanford head coach Don Shaw said after the match. We just put it all together tonight. I ve told my team many times, my goal is to just sit back and watch. Tonight, I just sat back and watched them go. Ironically, the turning point of Stanford s season came on November 2, also against Hawaii. The Cardinal had fallen at Pac-10 rival Washington State just six days earlier, and headed to Honolulu to take on top-ranked Hawaii before a sold-out crowd of 10, 225 at the Special Events Arena. The Rainbow Wahine needed just 21 minutes to defeat Stanford 15-5 in game one. But the Cardinal quickly bounced back in grand fashion sweeping through the next three games 15-11, 15-6, 15-9 to pull off the upset. Hawaii native Debbie Lambert put on a show for the hometown crowd by hitting.375 with 12 kills, as Stanford outhit Hawaii over the final three games. Stanford was untouchable the rest of the season. The Cardinal won its final 12 matches following the victory at Hawaii and lost just two games during that stretch, which included eight wins over ranked opponents. The Cardinal went on to finish 17-1 in the Pac-10 en route to a three-game advantage over Washington State and its third straight conference title. The NCAA Tournament featured more of the same. Stanford lost just one game in its five postseason matches, and only one match lasted more than two hours (Nebraska). The Cardinal opened NCAA play with a sweep of Colorado State in the second round, and later extended its homecourt winning streak to 49 with 3-0 Pacific Regional wins over USC and Washington State. Defending champion Nebraska was next on the Cardinal s list. The Cornhuskers defeated Stanford 15-9 in game one in the first and only game the Cardinal lost in the postseason. Stanford stormed back, however, to take a 13-0 lead in game two en route to winning the final three games 15-7, 15-9, Then came the highly anticipated rematch with Hawaii. It was no contest. Stanford held National Player of the Year Anjelica Ljungquist to seven kills and a.111 hitting percentage, and never looked back. Hawaii s only lead of the match was 1-0 in the third and final game. National Freshman of the Year and Final Four MVP Kerri Walsh ended matters with a cross-court kill to clinch Stanford s third NCAA title in five years. First Team All-American setter Lisa Sharpley led Stanford to a.350 hitting percentage with 37 assists, while Second Team All-American Kristin Folkl hit.406 with 16 kills, nine digs and six blocks.

59 1997 NCAA Championship Team The Stanford women s volleyball class of 1998 turned in numerous showstopping performances over the course of its four-year run atop the collegiate world, but saved its most memorable performance for last. Kristin Folkl, Barbara Ifejika, Debbie Lambert, Paula McNamee and Lisa Sharpley made their 125th and final win one for the ages as they outlasted Penn State in five games in one of the most thrilling NCAA Championship matches ever. The fivesome further etched its name into the national record book by becoming the first class to ever win three women s volleyball national titles in four seasons. The win over Penn State was the climax to four incredible seasons on The Farm. During the fivesome s run from , Stanford: Went (.940) overall, and never lost more than three games in a single season. Was 64-1 at home matches in Maples Pavilion, including a 50-match win streak. Went 19-1 in the NCAA Tournament, and qualified for the Final Four on all four possible occasions. Went 70-2 in the Pac-10 en route to four consecutive conference titles. Every other Pac-10 school had at least 20 conference losses during that span. Stanford started the season 5-2, but would not lose again. In fact, the Cardinal would lose just six games the rest of the way en route to a 28-match winning streak. The Cardinal dominated the Pac-10, winning by a commanding five games. Sixteen of Stanford s 18 Pac-10 wins came in three games, while the other two came in four. In nine Pac-10 road matches, Stanford did not lose a game. The Cardinal s domination continued in the postseason. Stanford was awarded the top seed in the NCAA Mountain Regional, and proceeded to defeat Oklahoma and Colorado to move within one step of the Final Four. The Cardinal then advanced to Spokane with a 15-12, 15-12, 15-3 win over No. 5 UC Santa Barbara. The 1997 NCAA Championship Team.

Stanford was the third seed in Spokane, and faced off against second-seeded and top-ranked Long Beach State in the semifinals. The Cardinal dropped game one 15-9, but Stanford quickly responded by winning the next two games 15-10, The Cardinal then jumped out to a commanding 12-3 lead in game four, but the 49ers reeled 12 of the next 14 points to reach game point. Stanford then survived the game point, and reeled off three of its own, including a block by freshman Jennifer Detmer on match point, to put the 49ers away. All that now stood between Stanford and back-toback national titles was old nemesis Penn State. After Stanford rolled through the first two games at and 15-6, Penn State won game three Game four featured an amazing 58 sideouts and lasted 44 minutes. But the Nittany Lions reeled off two consecutive points at to send the match to five games. Stanford took immediate control in the rally-scoring fifth game by scoring six of the first eight points. The Nittany Lions got within 13-9 before the Cardinal put the match away in fitting fashion. Folkl wrapped up her brilliant collegiate career with backto-back kills that gave Stanford its fourth national title. Not surprisingly, it was again the vaunted class of 1998 that put the Cardinal over the top. Paula McNamee, who had spent most of her career on The Farm in the shadow of her classmates, picked the perfect time to have the match of her collegiate career. McNamee hit.372 with career-highs of 20 kills and 10 blocks to earn All-Tournament honors. In addition, both Sharpley and Walsh set the Stanford single match record with 30 digs in the title contest.

60 2001 NCAA Championship Team No one was quite sure what to expect of the 2001 edition of the Stanford women s volleyball team not even new head coach John Dunning. But as the season progressed, everyone could sense something magical happening. The Cardinal played its first 11 matches on the road to open the season, going 10-1 their only loss to Long Beach State in the Pyramid. Stanford would encounter its next roadblock in conference play in Los Angeles. After a come-from-behind 3-2 win over UCLA the night before, the Cardinal fell to USC, 1-3. That loss would prove to be the last for Stanford in What happened next was a string of 10 consecutive wins some easy, some hard and all that built character. The true turning point of the second half of the season was perhaps the match at Arizona. Stanford had edged Arizona, 3-2, at home earlier in the season and this match could decide who would win the conference championship. The Cardinal fell behind 0-2 before rallying to win the final three games to take the match. This team knew they could win. Stanford went 17-1 in league play to win its fourth Pac-10 title in the last five years. The Cardinal went a perfect 16-0 at home on the Farm in Stanford breezed through the postseason first and second rounds and regionals to set up a meeting with defending national champion and second-ranked Nebraska in a NCAA Semifinal match. It was a match of brawn against brawn two of the tallest teams in the nation both of whom ranked in the top five nationally in blocking and featured deadly hitters in Logan Tom and Nancy Metcalf. Tough serving, some great digs and timely blocking gave Stanford the advantage in the match. Game one remained close between the two teams. With the game tied at 24-all, Nebraska went on a four point run to go up A block solo by Tara Conrad closed the gap to but on the next play, Nancy Metcalf s kill put Nebraska at game point. Stanford would hold off four game points to tie the game up at 29-all and reached game point on a Husker miscue. A kill by Ogonna Nnamani gave the Cardinal the win. Stanford rallied off six consecutive points at the 2001 NCAA Championship Team: (l to r) Top Row: Assistant Coach Kim Oden, Head Coach John Dunning, Leahi Hall, Emily Lawrence, Michelle Chambers, Jen Hucke, Ashley Ivy, Robyn Lewis, Associate Head Coach Denise Corlett, Assistant Coach David Johnson.

The victory in game one would provide momentum to Stanford and create doubt on the other side of the net. The Cardinal would win the next two games to catapult themselves into the national championship match. And so it came down to this Stanford would face No. 1 ranked and undefeated Long Beach State for the championship. The same team the Cardinal had lost to early in the season. But this wasn t the same team that faced the 49er s in late September. For Stanford s five seniors, this was the final chance to win a national championship only one fifthyear senior Robyn Lewis had ever won a title. And they would lay everything on the line to take home the prize. The championship match began eerily like the semifinal match with Nebraska. A Stanford service error gave LBSU game point at The Cardinal held off two game points to tie the game at 29-all on a kill by Logan Tom and reached game point on a 49er hitting error. A Logan Tom kill gave Stanford the come-from-behind win. Logan Tom had 10 kills in game one for the Cardinal. The game one loss marked the first time Long Beach dropped a game one during the 2001 season. After winning a close second game, Stanford closed in for the win in game three on an Ogonna Nnamani kill, forcing a Long Beach State timeout. A Tom kill put Stanford at game and match point at The Cardinal block (Tom and Conrad) came up big to close out the game and match at Stanford had won an unprecedented fifth national championship. National Player of the Year Logan Tom was tabbed MVP of the Final Four while teammates Ashley Ivy, Ogonna Nnamani and Robyn Lewis earned all-tournament honors. All-American Tom recorded her 134th service ace during the match to tie with Barbra Fontana ( ) for second all-time in the Cardinal record books. Tom also ended the season with 621 kills a single season Stanford record. The 33 wins for the Cardinal tied the school record for most wins in a season (1980, 97 and 01).

62 About the University On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusiastically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adventure. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, Hope was in every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly. For the Stanford s on that day, the university was the realization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation s center of culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus. students from all over the country: many from California; some who followed professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many difficulties during the first months housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East the first year foretold greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, Even our fondest hopes have been realized. Stanford University The University at a Glance S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l

63 About the University Ideas of Practical Education Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of modest means and had built their way up through a life of hard work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were to establish an institution where young men and women could grapple successfully with the practicalities of life. As their thoughts matured, these ideas of practical education enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful citizens who were well-prepared for professional success. More than one hundred years later, the university still enjoys the original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords generous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of long corridors with their stately pillars at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher William James said, during his stint as a visiting professor, that the climate is so friendly... that every morning wakes one fresh for new amounts of work. Current Perspectives In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its way to recognition as one of the world s great universities. At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is an hour s drive south of San Francisco and just a few miles north of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology firms largely spawned by the university s faculty and graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities, and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces from the Stanford Museum s extensive collection of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of evolution, human development, and ecological systems. The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and research laboratories including the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth where faculty from a wide range of fields bring different perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford s Overseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Paris, Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, and Moscow. Stanford People By any measure, Stanford s faculty which numbers approximately 1,700 is one of the most distinguished in the nation. It includes 16 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prize winners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 132 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 223 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 80 members of the National Academy of Engineering, and 23 members of the National Academy of Education. Yet beyond their array of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars. Currently 13,900 students, of which 6,500 are undergraduates, live and study on campus. About 40 percent come from California, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent are African American, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class. Eighty-four Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 66 have been named Marshall Scholars, and 48 have been named Truman Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the classroom from student government to music, theater, and journalism. Through the Haas Center for Public Service, students participate in dozens of community service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic. In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 34 Division I varsity sports equally divided between men s and women s teams. Of Stanford s 101 national team titles, 51 have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation. Thirty-eight of Stanford s athletes and coaches participated in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta at the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000 Games in Sydney by far the most of any university in the nation and 42 Stanford athletes competed at the 2004 Games in Athens. Intramural and club sports are also popular; over 1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while participation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, with many students active in more than one sport. Looking Ahead In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, Jane Stanford said,... Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughts and ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of the work under our care. Her thoughts echo in the words of former Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, The true university must reinvent itself every day... At Stanford, these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support for our fundamental tasks teaching, learning, and research. Stanford University still enjoys the original 8,100 acres of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords generous legacy S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l 61

There are so many accomplished athletes and students to learn from. Stanford is so different from any school because it is not a competition between students or athletes. Everyone wants to help each other succeed. Being at Stanford has helped me to mature as a person and player. Both professors and students were eager to help me adjust to the work load and time demands of being a student-athlete. Coach Dunning has done a great job of teaching me not only how to improve my physical game but especially the mental aspect. Playing in the national championship was the most amazing thing that has happened so far in my volleyball career. It was so neat because not only were the people at Stanford cheering for us but also my family and friends back home were watching and cheering for us. It was really exciting to go home and hear about people who had watched the championship match on ESPN. It was such a great personal experience but also a great team experience that will carry over to next season." Bryn Kehoe Michael Robertson won the 2005 NCAA discus title.
