3 2013 MATCH NOTES 3 THE MATCHUP SCOUTING THE BEARS Despite losing its setter and two of its top offensive threats, the Northern Colorado Bears were picked to finish third in the Big Sky preseason poll, and are hopeful for a fourth NCAA tournament appearance in the past five years. Like the Rams, Northern Colorado also faced Cal Poly and Baylor over the weekend, sweeping the Bears and beating the Mustangs in four sets to begin the year 2-0. Leading the charge this year will be junior Andrea Spaustat, who is the top returner in several statistical categories, including kills, blocks and points. She was named the Big Sky Conference Championship Tournament MVP last fall after helping No. 4 seed UNC win the tournament championship. She will be joined by fellow junior middle blocker Brianna Strong. The duo could be one of the most-feared middle-blocking cores in the league, as they combined for 565 kills and 225 blocks a year ago. Spaustat s 123 stuffs was a program record. Also returning for the Bears is senior libero Merideth Johnson, who led the team in digs and aces in SERIES VS. NORTHERN COLORADO The Rams are currently riding a 12-match winning streak against Northern Colorado, last falling to the Bears in All-time, CSU is 17-6 against Northern Colorado, including an 8-1 mark inside Moby Arena.

4 2013 MATCH NOTES 4 MOBY ARENA THE GREATEST VOLLEYBALL VENUE IN AMERICA Head Coach Tom Hilbert doesn t shy away when talking about Moby Arena, the home court for the Colorado State volleyball program, calling it the greatest volleyball venue in America. It is one of the most distinctive and effective home-court playing facilities in the nation. Thanks to its dedicated fans, Moby Arena is home to crowds and winning percentages matched by few programs across the country. HOME COOKING The Rams have had a tremendous amount of success at Moby Arena, winning nearly 90 percent of their matches under Hilbert. Since 1997, Hilbert s first season in Fort Collins, CSU has gone (.891). Looking back even further, to 1995, CSU has won at least 10 home matches each season, including 15 of 16 in Its.938 winning percentage tied for sixth in program history, and the best since The Rams only loss in 2012 was a five-set thriller to No. 2 UCLA, the 2011 national champions. STREAKING AT HOME Between September 1998 and November 2000, CSU won an impressive 44 consecutive home matches, a Moby Arena record. Since then, the Rams have pieced together streaks of 21, 20 and 16, which spanned a calendar year through the beginning of the 2012 season (fifthlongest in program history). Best Home Winning Percentages (18-0) (15-0) (14-0) (14-0) (18-1) (15-1) (15-1) (15-1) (14-1) (11-1) 2011 Most Consecutive Home Wins /18/98-11/18/00 9/27/07-11/16/08 12/1/00-9/5/02 9/11/85-9/13/86 9/10/11-9/912 After two wins during the 2013 season s opening weekend, CSU has now won 26 of its last 27 home matches, including 10 straight. MOBY WAS ROCKIN On Sept. 15, the Rams welcomed UCLA the No. 2 team in the country to Fort Collins, and came within a few points of the biggest win in Moby Arena history. A total of 5,641 fans witnessed the near-upset, which ranked as the fourth-largest crowd in program history. Just three schools (Hawai I, Nebraska and Wichita State) had larger single-match crowds in In all, three of CSU s top-four single-match attendance figures have occurred in the last three years. On Sept. 2, 2011, a MW-record 6,750 fans watched CSU come from behind to knock off No. 5 Nebraska. The conference s previous record was also held by CSU, when the Rams beat the Duke Blue Devils Aug. 26, 2010 in front of 6,333 fans. MOBY MADNESS CSU has ranked high in annual attendance figures year-in and year-out. In fact, the Rams have been ranked in the top-25 for attendance each season since the NCAA began calculating figures in 1986, including the top-10 on seven occasions and No. 1 in Opponent Nebraska Duke BYU UCLA BYU Wyoming BYU BYU Nebraska Stanford Top 10 Home Crowds Attendance 6,750 6,333 6,260 5,641 5,486 5,389 5,317 5,307 5,087 4,329 year result W, 3-2 W, 3-1 L, 0-3 L, 2-3 W, 3-0 W, 3-1 W, 3-1 w, 3-0 W, 3-1 L, 1-3 In 2012, CSU averaged 2,159 fans per contest, which ranked 17th-best in the nation. Just three schools had larger single-match crowds than CSU s mark of 5,641 on Sept. 15 vs. UCLA. Through two matches in 2013, CSU is averaging 2,978 fans per contest. TAKING DOWN THE BEST With large crowds come big wins. At home since 1987, the Rams have defeated nine teams ranked in the top 10, plus dozens of other wins against ranked opponents. During Hilbert s tenure, the Rams have hosted 37 nationally ranked opponents, coming away with victories in 25 of those contests, including seven of the last nine dating back to CSU s most recent win over a ranked foe at Moby Arena was on Sept. 7, 2012, when CSU upset No. 12 Pepperdine in straight sets. MOUNTAIN WEST DOMINATION The Rams have dominated the Mountain West since its inception, at home and on the road. One of the most impressive stats, however, is CSU s home winning streak against current members of the MW, which dates back to Nov. 4, 2005, a span of 45 straight matches. CSU will look to extend that streak in its MW opener vs. Wyoming on Sept. 18 THE BIG STAGE Because of the environment Moby Arena s fans create, CSU has been an NCAA tournament host 11 seasons, most recently in Included in that figure is 2008, when CSU was a Regional Finals host. Being selected to play in front of its home crowd is important to CSU; the Rams are 13-2 in NCAA tournament matches at Moby Arena.

5 2013 MATCH NOTES 5 PERFECT IN COLORADO The Rams won t only be trying to remain perfect on the season Tuesday vs. Northern Colorado. They will also look to maintain their undefeated mark at home against teams from the state of Colorado. CSU went 4-0 against teams from the state of Colorado in 2012, and all-time the Rams have mastered the state. During Head Coach Tom Hilbert s tenure, CSU is a perfect 39-0 at home against the other Division I teams from the Centennial State Air Force, Colorado, Denver and Northern Colorado. CSU s last home loss to a team from Colorado came in 1995 against the Colorado Buffaloes. Team record Home record Hilbert (Home) Air Force (18-0) Colorado (9-0) Denver (9-0) No. Colorado (3-0) In all, CSU has taken 91 of its 111 (.820) all-time matches against teams from its own state, including a 51-5 record (.911) at home. HOW SWEEP IT IS CSU will look to improve to 3-0 on the season with a victory Tuesday vs. Northern Colorado. A win in any fashion would be great, however if it can come in straight sets, it would mark the third consecutive season that CSU has won its first nine sets to start the year. Prior to 2011, CSU hadn t accomplished the feat since 1997, and just three times in its history. Consecutive Sets Won to Start Season Sets year GETTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT With a resounding home-opening win vs. Baylor last Friday, CSU improved to 13-4 under Hilbert in home openers, including winners of six of the last seven. It marked the fourth-straight year that the season opener regardless of location has come via a sweep. HOME TOURNAMENT SUCCESS Tuesday caps the opening week of play after CSU and Northern Colorado each hosted Baylor and Cal Poly over the weekend, with the local teams both going 2-0. While not officially considered a tournament, the Rams are hoping for the same success they ve had in home tourneys over the years. Since 2009, CSU has won six straight regular-season home tournaments, and all-time under Hilbert, the Rams are ANSWERING THE OUTSIDE QUESTIONS The biggest question entering fall camp and even after it was who would step up on the outside. Hilbert may have found his answer after just one match, with junior Marlee Reynolds locking in the O1 spot, and true freshman Michelle Lawrence coming in off the bench to have a marquee debut. Reynolds finished with a team-high 13 kills on.524 hitting, while Lawrence had eight kills on.438 efficiency. Between the two attackers, they committed just three errors on 37 swings. After the match, Hilbert commented, I m really happy about this young lady right here (Reynolds), because she asserted herself physically today, played with a lot of presence on the court. About Lawrence, Hilbert said, She is physical. She is Dana (Cranston) in terms of her ability and stature. She just has to become a better player in terms of experience. Both showed signs of inconsistency the following night, vs. Cal Poly, but they finished strong to put up respectable numbers. FILLING OUT THE STARTING LINEUP Entering Friday s season opener, Hilbert commented that only Jaime Colaizzi, Adrianna Culbert, Deedra Foss and Samantha Peters had locked up starting positions. That left the main outside hitter, a middle blocker and a defensive specialist spot up for grabs. Those spots were filled by Marlee Reynolds, Kelsey Snider and Michelle Smith, respectively, and each showed why they earned their spots. Also seeing significant time over the weekend was outside hitter Michelle Lawrence and defensive specialist Kaitlind Bestgen. Sophomore Kaila Thomas played in two sets vs. Cal Poly, while Acacia Andrews and Cassidy Denny each made their collegiate debuts against Baylor, playing in one set apiece. WEEKEND REWIND Entering Friday s season opener, Hilbert commented that only Jaime Colaizzi, Adrianna Culbert, Deedra Foss and Samantha Peters had locked up starting position BAyLOr: In what many have been calling a rebuilding year for CSU s volleyball program, the Rams kicked of the 2013 campaign in emphatic fashion, sweeping the Baylor Bears. The first match of the year with a team as inexperienced as this one is, you couldn t have asked for a better overall performance, Hilbert said. We stayed playing at a high level throughout all three sets, and that is a mark of a very good team. The Bears had no match for the Rams outside hitters as CSU racked up 53 kills on.529 hitting, the fifth-best hitting percentage in program history, and highest since The Rams committed just seven attack errors, the fewest in four seasons. Junior outside hitter Marlee Reynolds, who has stepped in to the left-side outside hitter role left vacated by graduate Dana Cranston, led the way for the Rams with 13 kills on.524 hitting. Also in double figures for the Rams was sophomore right-side attacker Adrianna Culbert (11 kills) and junior middle blocker Kelsey Snider (10). Junior setter Deedra Foss recorded a double-double with 39 assists and 10 digs. CAL POLy: CSU improved to 2-0 on the season with a straight-sets sweep over the Cal Poly Mustangs. Junior middle blocker Kelsey Snider helped pave the way for the Rams with 13 kills on.571 hitting. The match marked the second consecutive match that the new middle blocker hit above.500 with double-digit kills. Sophomore right-side hitter Adrianna Culbert provided a nice secondary punch for the Rams with 11 kills and six digs on.474 hitting, while junior Deedra Foss had 34 assists and nine digs. I m very pleased with where this team is right now, Hilbert said. We are better defensively than we ve been in a while, and we are a great serving team. We re getting to be really solid on the outside at times. SECOND IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST Despite losing four seniors from last year s Mountain West championship squad, the Rams were still picked to finish second in the MW in CSU earned 90 total points, only behind preseason favorite San Diego State (99). The Aztecs earned nine of the 11 first-place votes, while CSU earned the two others. The full preseason poll can be found on Page 3. It marks the first time since 2009 that CSU has not been the favorite to win the league. Hilbert, though, doesn t believe the expectations on his team will be any less. With our history, we bring out the best in every team, and it may be even more so this year because they re going to see our vulnerabilities, Hilbert said. Our team has to step up and, I think, win our home games and at least half of our road games if we re going to win the conference. That will be challenging. The Rams remain confident they can reach their goal of a fifth-straight conference title, however, and history backs them up. Of the eight times CSU has not been the favorite to win the league, the team has ended up being crowned champions five times. In 15 years, CSU has never been picked to finish lower than third, and each season, the Rams have earned at least one first-place vote. Additionally, junior Deedra Foss was one of seven players named to the All-MW Preseason Team. The setter was an All-MW selection a year ago after leading the conference in assists per set in conference action. GAINING NATIONAL RECOGNITION CSU has earned the respect of its peers over the years, and that was evident in early August when the Rams received 15 points in the AVCA Division I Coaches 2013 Preseason Poll, despite losing the majority of its production from last year. The 15 points was good for 38th in the nation. Since Hilbert s arrival in Fort Collins in 1997, CSU has been ranked or receiving votes in the preseason poll every season. After two opening-weekend victories, the Rams moved up seven spots, earning 50 total points. Texas A&M (39th) and Pepperdine (40th) also were receiving votes. San Diego State dropped out after receiving six votes in the preseason poll. The Rams have also been ranked in the final season s poll 15 times in 31 years (tied for 15th in the NCAA), in addition to being ranked in 235 of the 447 all-time weekly polls (15th).

In all, four teams played in last year s NCAA tournament, including Northern Colorado (Tuesday) Pepperdine (Sept. 7), Texas A&M (Sept. 21) and San Diego State (Oct. 19 and Nov. 27). Of CSU s 19 opponents, 10 ranked in the top-100 RPI last season, including five of the Rams 10 Mountain West opponents, which they will each play twice. CSU finished 2012 No. 35 in the RPI, which is based off of three categories: a team s winning percentage (25 percent), its opponents winning percentages (50 percent) and the winning percentage of its opponents opponents (25 percent). The Rams are one of eight teams nationally to be ranked in the top-50 RPI every season since the index was created in SETTING THE WAY All-MW Preseason Team selection Deedra Foss returns to help pace the Rams offense after two stellar seasons already under her belt. The junior setter from McKenna, Wash., averaged assists per set, while also helping pace the defense with 2.20 digs and 0.86 blocks per set in Posting those numbers, she ranked in the top three on the team in each category, becoming just the fifth player in CSU history to finish a season in the top three in assists, digs and blocks. After being named the Mountain West Newcomer of the Year in 2011, Foss was selected to the All-MW team as a sophomore. She already ranks ninth in school history with 2,331 career assists, and is on pace to move up to sixth all-time by the end of the 2013 campaign. Foss is also just the eighth player in program history to register at least 1,100 assists in back-to-back seasons. Furthermore, she is one of six players to record at least 1,100 assists, 225 digs and 145 points in a single season. If she can accomplish this again, she will join Analisa Saylor as the only two players to do this in three different seasons. In her first two seasons, Foss has averaged at least assists, 2.10 digs and 0.85 blocks per set, putting her in rare company. Ashley Fornstrom is the only other player to accomplish this feat, and if Foss is able to reach these numbers again, it will be a program first. EYEING A FIVE-PEAT Colorado State closed 2012 by winning its final eight regular-season matches, and on the last night of the season, in front of a home crowd, CSU defeated New Mexico to earn a share of the Mountain West regular-season title. CSU earned the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after winning the tiebreaker over San Diego State, which also finished 13-3 in league play in It marked the fourth consecutive season that CSU has won the MW title. The Rams will look to embark upon uncharted territories in Just one other time ( ) has CSU won at least five consecutive regularseason titles. Entering 2013, just three other schools have won their respective conference title in four or more straight seasons (Albany, 5, America East; Dayton, 4, Atlantic 10; and Hawai i, 18, Big West in 1995 and 2012, WAC from ). ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN In 14 seasons with the Mountain West, CSU has led the charge by a large margin, winning 10 regular-season conference championships in addition to five MW tournament titles in nine seasons. CSU has finished first in the regular-season standings each of the past four years, leading wire-to-wire from All-time, the Rams have won more than 85 percent of their MW matches (179-31,.852 winning percentage), far greater than any current or former opponent. They hold impressive numbers both at home (98-7,.933 winning percentage) and on the road (81-24,.771) TOP-100 rpi 17. Texas A&M 38. Pepperdine 35. COLOrADO STATE 43. San Diego State 58.

7 2013 MATCH NOTES 7 ELITE EIGHTEEN Since the Mountain West formed in 1999, the Rams have won 10 regular-season championships, in addition to five tournament crowns in nine years. The figure is more than all other MW teams past and current combined. The Rams are (.854) all-time against MW opponents. They also won two HCAC championships in the 1980s, plus the WAC Mountain Division title in 1998, giving them 18 overall conference championships to their credit, more than any other sport at CSU. INTERNATIONAL FLAIR Just one year after the entire team took a foreign tour to Italy and France, CSU volleyball has continued its trend of playing internationally. Over the summer, Kelsey Snider played on the USA/BIP Global Challenge team, which traveled to China to compete in six international matches. Samantha Peters was also on the roster, but was forced to opt out after a back injury the day before departing from California. In May, Deedra Foss was selected to the USA Volleyball Women s National Team A2 program, and midway through the summer, she competed in Dallas, Texas, earning a silver medal. She was coached by Andy Banachowski, a six-time national champion and the winningest coach in NCAA history. What s more, three 2012 seniors are now playing professionally Dana Cranston (Canadian National Team, professionally in France), Brieon Paige (Romania) and Megan Plourde (Croatia, Switzerland) in addition to 2001 senior Soraya Santos, who is beginning her 12th season of professional volleyball, this fall in Spain. TRENDING The Rams saw several trends in 2012, and while the lineup on the court will look significantly different this fall, here are a couple stats to watch for: The Rams knew if they could jump out to an early lead they were in good shape. In fact, CSU was 17-2 when winning the first set, and 16-1 when entering the intermission up 2-0. Under Hilbert, CSU is (.913) when winning the initial set, and (.988) when leading 2-0. CSU outblocked its opponents in 23 of its 29 matches in 2012, going 19-4 in those contests. As a team, the Rams ranked No. 15 nationally with 2.85 blocks per set. The Rams have been ranked in the top-15 in blocking each year since The Rams hit.294 in MW action in 2012, which led the league. The team s.266 overall hitting percentage was good for 17th in the country. While the Rams led the league in hitting, they also ranked high in opponent hitting percentage (.155; second in MW action). In six of the team s final nine MW victories, its opponents hit under.140, including a season-best against Wyoming. AVOIDING THE SWEEP CSU played 28 regular-season matches in In those contests, the Rams swept their opponents 15 times, but were never swept. It marked the second time (also 1999) that the Rams have gone through the entire regular season without being swept. After two more sweeps over the weekend, CSU has now gone 51 regular-season contests without being swept, second-longest in program history.

For a more detailed look at Hilbert s career in Fort Collins, see Page 15. Record at CSU: (.795) - winningest coach in any sport at CSU. Career record: th among active coaches in wins. Career winning percentage: th among active coaches; 15th among all coaches all-time. 16 NCAA tournaments in 16 years in Fort Collins (.889) record at Moby Arena, including against nationally ranked opponents. 40 total wins against top-25 teams at CSU, including No. 1 UCLA in conference coach-of-the-year awards, in addition to three AVCA region coach-of-the-year-honors SAYING FAREWELL The Rams lost four valuable seniors from their 2012 squad. The quartet left as some of the most accomplished athletes in program history, becoming four of just seven athletes in Colorado State athletics history to win four consecutive conference championships. The group included: Dana Cranston - AVCA All-American, MW Player of the Year, Capital One Academic All-American izzy Gaulia - fourth in CSU history with 1,164 career digs Brieon Paige - AVCA All-America Honorable Mention, All-MW, first in MW matches with.391 hitting percentage Megan Plourde - AVCA All-America Honorable Mention, four-time All-MW, second in CSU history for career blocks Additionally, CSU lost Anastassia Koutchouk, who played sparingly as a server in Koutchouk opted to move back to her native country of France HIGHLIGHTS Losing just two starters from the 2011 team which advanced to the NCAA Regional Quarterfinals, CSU brought back an experienced and senior-laden team for its 2012 campaign. The four seniors helped lead the Rams to 21 wins the program s 18thconsecutive 20-win season and a fourth straight Mountain West championship. The Rams then advanced to their 18th straight NCAA tournament, getting key production from freshmen returners Jaime Colaizzi and Adrianna Culbert. Other season notables: The Rams earned two tournament championships (Rocky Mountain Invite and Rams Volleyball Classic), CSU s fifth and sixth consecutive home tournament titles. CSU swept No. 12 Pepperdine on Sept. 7 at Moby Arena. The program s fourth-largest crowd (5,641) was on hand to witness CSU battle against No. 2 UCLA, the defending national champions. CSU played one of the most challenging schedules in the country, with eight of its non-conference opponents advancing to the NCAA tournament, in addition to MW foe San Diego State. CSU s final RPI was No. 35. The Rams began the season ranked No. 25 nationally, and moved up to No. 24 after the opening week. On Nov. 13, Head Coach Tom Hilbert won his 400th career match at CSU, expanding on his program record. HILBERT S HAPPY HOUR For an even deeper look inside CSU volleyball, fans are encouraged to attend Hilbert s Happy Hour, a weekly show in the upstairs room of C.B. & Potts (1415 West Elizabeth), from 5-6 each Tuesday. The hour-long get-together allows the veteran coach to review the week prior, preview the week ahead, answer questions and give a brief chalk talk where he explains a certain aspect of the sport of volleyball to his fans. Each week, Hilbert also brings a player guest with him. Food and drink specials are also available. Hilbert s group will not meet this Tuesday (Sept. 3) or next (Sept. 10) because the Rams have matches. It will resume on Sept. 17. MOUNTAIN WEST NETWORK For several years, fans of Rams volleyball have been able to follow along near and far through an All-Access subscription. Even better this year, through the brand-new Mountain West Network, fans will now be able to watch the Rams worldwide for free. Every home match will be streamed through the Network, in addition to all conference road matches. Streaming links can be found on the volleyball schedule page on For home matches, the streams will include multiple camera angles, instant replay, an audio feed to the radio commentary and more. UP NEXT CSU will begin a four-match road trip, including a weekend tournament in Malibu, Calif., facing Virginia, UC Santa Barbara and Pepperdine (9/6-7), before facing Denver (9/10).

8 2013 MATCH NOTES 8 to the middle for the upcoming season, showed hints of greatness last year (15 kills vs. No. 2 UCLA), but was inconsistent, averaging 1.76 kills and 2.05 point per set on the season. Over the summer, she traveled to China to compete in the BIP/USA Global Challenge. NEW FACES A trio of three freshmen, ranked by as an honorable mention, will join the Rams lineup this fall. Additionally, CSU adds transfer Cayla Broadwater. Jaliyah Bolden A three-year letterwinner at Sachse High School, Bolden helped lead her team to an Elite Eight appearance in the Texas state tournament; is expected to redshirt. Cayla Broadwater - three-year letterwinner at Connecticut, starting 22 matches over three seasons and averaging 1.49 kills and 0.55 blocks per set. Transferred to CSU and competed on the Rams track team in the high jump in Cassidy Denny A three-year letterwinner at El Camino Fundamental High School, Denny earned All-Capital Athletic League honors all three years and was named team MVP during as a senior. Michelle Lawrence Was a three-year letterwinner at Northgate High School, where she was a three-time first-team All-Diablo Valley Athletic League selection. She was named league MVP as a junior and senior; is expected to see time on the left side. Though Tom Hilbert and the Colorado State women s volleyball team are going through one of the most formidable roster transitions in recent memory, the veteran head coach doesn t expect much to change both from internal expectations and from those externally. While the Rams were picked to finish second to San Diego State in the annual Mountain West preseason poll a league they ve dominated since its inception, winning 10 regular-season titles in 14 years and more than 85 percent of their all-time matches Hilbert expects the bull s eye to remain on the Rams backs. Because of our history and tradition, every time we play someone we will still get their A game every time, he said. They ll probably be salivating even more, knowing they might have a chance to beat us. The Rams have won four consecutive MW titles, and last year went 21-8 en route to the program s 18th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, a streak that ranks seventh nationally. However, the team graduated four senior starters which made up the bulk of the offense, defense and leadership. Because of this, some new faces will be forced to step up, led by junior Deedra Foss and senior Samantha Peters, as well as sophomores Jaime Colaizzi and Adrianna Culbert. Foss has the pedigree, earning MW Newcomer of the Year honors in 2011 before becoming an All-MW member a year ago and an All-MW Preseason Team selection this fall. She already ranks ninth in CSU history for career assists, and over the summer earned a silver medal with the USA Volleyball A2 program, coached by the winningest coach in NCAA women s volleyball history, Andy Banachowski. The others, on the other hand, are more of an unknown commodity. Deedra is great, Hilbert said prior to fall camp. She s been great these past two years, but getting to see her play with the A2 program in Dallas, I realized how much of a leader she can be. Jaime is also very good. I see absolutely no issues with her sliding into the libero spot, and allowing that to be a strength of ours. FiLLiNG THE HOLES While Hilbert feels good about the setter and libero positions, there remains plenty of unanswered questions. We have to find out who s going to play on the right, who s going to play on the left, he said. There s been a ton of competition in camp, which always makes better players, but in order for us to be successful this season, we need a couple impact players to emerge. After a strong fall camp, Hilbert says Culbert will start at some place on the court because of her versatility, preferably on the right side. Marlee Reynolds, Kaila Thomas and freshman Michelle Lawrence have been battling on the left side, with each showing strengths. Reynolds emerged late as the favorite, but prior to the first match, Hilbert wasn t ready to annoint her the team s starting outside hitter. CSU will look to a trio of players in Peters, Snider and redshirt freshman Acacia Andrews to play in the middle, filling the void of graduating seniors Brieon Paige and Megan Plourde both are now playing professionally in Europe one of the most recognizable middle-blocking combinations in the nation. Peters made a strong statement during spring camp, stepping up as a team leader and one of the top players on the squad, unofficially hitting better than.400 in three spring tournaments. She was hampered by an ongoing back injury last season, playing in just 13 matches, but Hilbert has confidence that she will make big things out of her senior season. Additionally, Snider, who moved from the outside returning TO THE COUrT While somewhat inexperienced, CSU has a talented group of returning players in 2013, including three starters from last year s 21-win team. Additionally, CSU will return several players who played significant roles in the rotation a year ago. Kaitlind Bestgen Appeared in 13 matches, used primarily as a server. She recorded four aces, including back-to-back aces against New Mexico on Nov. 23. Jaime Colaizzi Started every match she appeared in as a true freshman, ranking fifth on the team with 1.99 digs per set and tallying nine service aces. Adrianna Culbert As a true freshman, appeared in 91 of the Rams 104 sets, starting 25 matches. She finished the year with 2.41 digs per set, ranking third all-time among freshmen in CSU history. Deedra Foss Named to the All-Mountain West team after finishing first in MW matches with assists per set. She currently ranks ninth all-time in CSU history for career assists. Samantha Peters Averaged 0.64 digs and 0.56 points per set in 13 matches, missing significant time with a recurring back injury. She recorded four kills on eight attacks against FIU (Sept. 8). Marlee reynolds Saw action in 20 matches, averaging 0.46 kills and 0.69 points per set. In the season opener against Virginia (Aug. 24), she led all Rams with seven kills on.600 hitting. Michelle Smith Appeared in 43 sets, including two starts. She averaged 1.00 digs per set, including 11 vs. Oklahoma (Sept. 2). Kelsey Snider Saw action in 80 sets for the Rams, averaging 1.76 kills and 2.05 points per set, including a career-most 15 vs. No. 2 UCLA (Sept. 15). She will move from outside hitter to middle blocker this fall. Kaila Thomas Appeared in 54 sets for the Rams, registering 1.46 kills and 1.69 points per set. During a four-match winning streak (Oct. 27-Nov. 10), she averaged 8.0 kills on.275 hitting.

9 2013 MATCH NOTES 9 THIS IS CSU VOLLEYBALL NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY The Colorado State volleyball program began in 1976, and since has been synonymous with winning and success, averaging nearly 21 wins per season and posting an all-time record of (.671 winning percentage). The Rams have won 18 conference titles, which is more than any other sport at CSU. The program s success is seen on a national level, and can be broken down into three main categories: NCAA TOUrNAMENTS CSU has been to 24 NCAA tournaments, including 18 straight dating back to Just 10 Division I teams have earned more overall tournament berths, and the Rams stretch of 18 consecutive appearances is the seventh-longest active streak in the country. TOP-25 rankings The Rams have appeared in the final top-25 poll in 15 of 31 seasons since the AVCA began ranking teams in 1982, including four years in a row from Overall, CSU has been ranked in 235 of the 447 all-time weekly polls, which is the 15th-most in the NCAA.

ALL-AMEriCANS With another All-America selection in 2012, the Rams have now had 11 players earn a total of 13 AVCA All- America awards in their history. Just 16 teams across the nation have more All-Americans than CSU.

15 2013 MATCH NOTES 15 The Colorado State women s volleyball program has become synonymous with consistent winning under the guidance and tutelage of Head Coach Tom Hilbert, who is in his 17th season with the Rams and his 25th overall as a collegiate head coach. With eight Mountain West Coach of the Year awards to his credit in the league s 14-year existence, it is clear why Hilbert s program has risen to the top of the MW and has become a stalwart on the national stage as a perennial top-25 team. Under Hilbert, who was inducted into the CSU Athletics Hall of Fame as the Hall of Honor recipient in 2006, the Rams have developed into one of the top programs in the nation, qualifying for the NCAA tournament all 16 seasons. Overall, CSU has played in 18 straight tournaments, which ranks seventh nationally among active streaks entering the 2013 season. The stretch also includes five Sweet 16 appearances and 13 first-round wins. Hilbert ranks 10th among active Division I head coaches (15th all-time) in winning percentage (.767), and 19th in total wins (579). Of those ranked in the top 20, Hilbert has coached the fewest total matches. He owns a career record of Just seven active coaches have recorded more than 500 victories while holding a winning percentage above.750, with Hilbert being one of them. On Nov. 4, 2010, he became the winningest coach in any sport in CSU history, earning a victory over UNLV, his 353rd in Fort Collins. The win surpassed former men s basketball coach Jim Williams mark of 352 victories. A year prior, Hilbert eclipsed the 500-win mark for his career. At the time, he was one of just two active coaches with more HiLBErT AT A GLANCE than 500 victories and fewer than 22 years of head coaching experience.
