Coach Tanya Allen will first send her squad against New Mexico Highlands on Friday at 10 a.m., followed by a 2 p.m. clash with Arkansas Fort-Smith. Saturday s slate begins with an 8 a.m. tilt versus St. Mary s and concludes when the Javs take on East Central University at 4 p.m. I m excited to get [the team] on the court, said Allen. We have a lot of new players and I think we have a lot of flexibility with our lineups. I m excited to get them out there and competing so we can find the best way to put them together to win games. Of the 16 student-athletes who ve earned roster spots for TAMUK, 12 will be experiencing their first goround in Kingsville and half are freshman. More than 90 percent of last year s production in assists, aces and digs are gone, largely due to the graduations of Casey Klobedans and Krystal Faison, but two of the team s most important contributors are back for one last campaign. Senior right side Madison Brabham took a huge step forward in 2017, as she evolved into one of the top hitters in the Lone Star Conference. Her stat line included 336 kills and an average of 2.85 kills per set, both top 10 marks in the LSC. The Kingwood, Texas native also contributed 70 total blocks, TAMUK s third-highest total. After finishing her junior season on the all-conference first-team, Brabham was recognized as the LSC s 2018 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. I think with her pressure is a good thing, said Allen, and that will push her to be better. I think the award gave her a lot of confidence and it made her feel good. That s obviously a positive, but there s always pressure to succeed and now she knows she has something she s striving for that will reward her for her hard work. Fellow fourth-year Javelina Haley Hutchinson (Georgetown, Texas) will return to her customary spot in the middle, where she accumulated a team-high 120 rejections a year ago. Her career tally of 379 total blocks has her in third place in program history and within striking distance of Ada Ihemelu s career school record of 483. Among the program s new additions are 10 players who were named all-district or all-region while at their previous institutions and three who helped lead their teams to championships. The roster also includes junior Loren Washington (Austin, Texas), who was a member of TAMUK s national championship beach volleyball team in the spring LSC Preseason Poll School (First Place Votes) Points Angelo State (8) 304 West Texas A&M (10) 282 Tarleton State (7) 277 Texas A&M-Commerce (4) 263 Texas Woman s 197 Texas A&M-Kingsville 191 Eastern New Mexico 133 Midwestern State 100 Western New Mexico 98 Cameron 80 UT Permian Basin (1) Lone Star Conference Standings School LSC Overall Tarleton State Texas A&M-Commerce Angelo State Texas A&M-Kingsville West Texas A&M Texas Woman s Eastern New Mexico Western New Mexico Midwestern State Cameron UT Permian Basin JavelinaAthletics.com #GottaJavIt - 1 -
