3 Women s Volleyball Notes at the NCAA Tournament (December 3 & 4, 2004) Scouting Towson The Tigers have a 25-8 overall record and earned an automatic NCAA Tournament berth by winning their first-ever Colonial Athletic Association title. Towson is making its first-ever tournament appearance. Towson is led by Sarah Miller with 340 kills on the year (3.24 per game) and April Hoffman with 338 kills (3.13 per game). Liz Goubeaux leads the team in blocking by averaging 1.29 per game while also contributing over three kills per game. Maryland leads the all-time series with Towson, 22-1, including a 3-0 victory on Sept. 15 in Comcast Center Pavilion. The series dates back to 1972, and Towson s only win over the Terps came on Oct. 29, a 2-1 (7-15, 15-5, 15-13) victory in Salisbury, Md. Terps head coach Janice Kruger is 4-0 all-time vs. the Tigers, with victories in the 1994, 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons. In the teams last meeting, Terrapin Sarah Treadwell led all players with 18 kills and Maria DiLivio registered the only double-double of the match as Maryland topped Towson, 3-0 (30-26, 33-31, 30-22). Towson head coach Chris Riley is in his fifth season as the head coach of Towson. Since becoming the Tigers coach in 2000, he has led the Tigers to a pair of conference regular season championships, a tournament title in 2004 and four-straight 20- win seasons. A Look At Penn State and American Penn State is making its 24th-consecutive NCAA appearance and was selected as the No. 2 seed in this year s tournament after finishing the year with a 27-2 overall record and winning the Big Ten Conference. The Nittany Lions only losses were at the hands of then-no. 1 Minnesota and then-no. 7 Ohio State. PSU is currently on an 11-match win streak and compiled a 14-2 mark in Rec Hall this season. Ashley Pederson leads the Nittany Lions with 3.80 kills per game, while Kim Holm and Melissa Walbridge average over a block a game. Penn State is coached by Russ Rose, who is in his 26th season. Penn State won the national championship in American earned an automatic berth to the tournament by winning its fourthconsecutive Patriot League title. The Eagles have a 24-6 record in American is making its sixth overall appearance at the NCAA Tournament and is seeking its first-ever tournament win. The Terrapins ousted the Eagles from the tournament in 2003, defeating them 3-0 in College Park. Terps In The ACC and National Rankings Maryland leads the ACC and is ranked 13th nationally in blocks, as the Terps average 3.12 per game. Leading the way is Stephanie Smith, Rachel Wagener and Jennifer Dewalt, who each average at least one block per game for the Terps. Smith, with 1.42 bpg, ranks third in the conference, while Wagner is right behind her (1.37 bpg, fourth in the ACC). Wagener also leads the Terps and is fifth in the conference in hitting percentage (.322), while setter Aimee Huddleston ranks seventh for assists with per game. Wagener and Brown: All-ACC Rachel Wagener is a second-team All-ACC honoree and Jade Brown is a member of the ACC all-freshman squad, the conference announced at the annual tournament banquet. Wagener, a two-time second team member, has led the Terps block all season while also contributing offensive firepower. Already the school record-holder for blocks in a season (200 in 2003), block assists in a season (177 in 2003, also an ACC record) and career block assists (390), the junior also recently set the career mark for total blocks, previously 417 set by Kelli Myers from With 445 rejections in just her third season, Wagener surpassed Myers mark to become the most prolific blocker in Terrapin history. Brown, who recorded her first-career kill on Oct. 2 at North Carolina, has exploded onto the conference scene by averaging over three kills per game and notching 200 kills so far this season. The Atlanta, Ga., native has reached double-digits in kills nine times, highlighted by a 24-kill performance vs. Wake Forest on Oct. 22. Head Coach Janice Kruger 2003 ACC Coach of the Year 2003 AVCA Region Coach of the Year After 16 seasons at the helm of Maryland volleyball, Janice Kruger s accomplishments speak for themselves: four ACC titles, six trips to the NCAA Tournament, four ACC and AVCA Region Coach of the Year honors and the top spot among the all-time winningest coaches in ACC volleyball history. Even more impressive is the fact that she and her team accomplished every one of these feats in a single season: Last year s team not only brought the ACC Championship back to College Park for the first time since 1996, it also returned to the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round. Kruger, for her part, was the 2003 Atlantic Coast Conference and AVCA East Region Coach of the Year and became the ACC s all-time winningest coach with a win over Clemson on November 22. Heading into the 2004 season, Kruger s 304 victories at Maryland ranked first in conference history. After nearly two decades as one of the top coaches in the ACC, Kruger is set to embark on her 17 th season as head coach of the Terrapins. Kruger has built a powerful program in College Park that includes ACC titles in 1990, 1996 and 2003 and trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997 and Kruger s success has not gone without notice, as she has been named both the ACC and AVCA District/Region Coach of the Year in 1990, 1996, 1997 and During her coaching career, Kruger has amassed an amazing mark including a record in College Park. With an impressive track record at both Maryland and her previous school, Nebraska-Omaha, Kruger is considered one of the elite coaches in the country. Milestones have been a big part of Kruger s tenure at Maryland, especially over the past few years. In 2003, Kruger earned her 300 th victory at Maryland with a 3-2 win at Florida State on November 14. In 2002, Kruger guided the Terps to an 11-0 start, the longest win streak to begin a season in Maryland history. In 2001, she led Maryland to its 700 th win as a volleyball program on Oct. 7 in a 3-1 victory over NC State at Ritchie Coliseum. In 31 seasons of volleyball at Maryland, just two coaches, Kruger and Barb Drum, have guided the Terps to a remarkable record of In 1996, Kruger s Terps became the first ACC team to finish a conference schedule Maryland closed out that magical season by winning the ACC title for the first time in six years. One year later, Kruger led Maryland to an even more impressive feat, as the Terps completed the 1997 regular season with an overall record of In the process, Maryland became just the eighth team in the nation to roll through a regular season without a defeat. The Terps closed out that historic year by reaching the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year. In 2003, three Terrapins garnered All-ACC honors (Aimee Huddleston, first team; Lynnsy Jones, second team; Rachel Wagener, second team). Huddleston and Jones were also honored as AVCA All-Region selections and honorable mention AVCA All-Americans. Since Kruger came to Maryland in 1988, the Terps have had 25 All-ACC selections and 14 All- District/Region selections. Kruger earned her bachelor s degree in 1977 from the University of Nebraska, where she was a four-year letterwinner and captain on the Husker volleyball team. The following year, she earned her master s degree in athletic administration from Nebraska.

4 Women s Volleyball Notes at the NCAATournament (December 3 & 4, 2004) Record-Breaking Tournament Three Terrapins were awarded all-tournament honors at this year s ACC Championship. Sarah Treadwell earned Most Valuable Player, while Aimee Huddleston and Jennifer Dewalt were named to the all-tournament team. For Treadwell, it was her second time earning all-tournament honors but her first MVP award, while Huddleston is a two-time all-tournament selection and Dewalt garnered the honor for the first time in her career. Treadwell s four-day total of 70 kills tied an ACC Tournament record. Huddleston s 228 assists in four matches was also a tournament record, along with Stephanie Smith s 30 blocks. Freshman Beth Gillming, who has played in all but one game and every match for the Terrapins, also set a new tournament record for digs with 87. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native has reached the 30-dig plateau twice this season and is the only current Terp to do so. Record Watch Sarah Treadwell notched her 1,000th-career dig on Sept. 25 at Wake Forest. The senior headed into the match needing nine to hit the milestone and recorded 11 on the night. Treadwell now has 1,266 for her career and sits in fourth place on Maryland s career charts. She is 63 digs away from Carey Brennan s four-year total and thirdplace mark, 1,329. Senior Maria DiLivio became the seventh Terrapin to reach 1,000 career kills on Nov. 27 vs. Miami (Ohio). With 998 going into the match, DiLivio posted 15 kills on the night and now has 1,013 for her career. She is seventh on Maryland s career charts and 40 away from Daune Koester s total of 1,053. The outside hitter also has a chance to join the elite club of Maryland players to tally both 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs. She needs 22 to be the second Terp ever to accomplish the feat. Steady Hand One of the Terrapins co-captains, now in her second season orchestrating the Maryland offense, is setter Aimee Huddleston. Huddleston has been rock solid for the Terps, as she is averaging over 12 assists per game and recently recorded her 3,000th-career assist. With 3,479 assists throughout her four years on the Terrapin roster, Huddleston currently sits in fourth place on Maryland s all-time charts for the category, and is just the fourth Terrapin to reach the 3,000 career assist mark (Eden Kroeger, Lindsay Davey and Nicole Lantagne are the others). Also important to note is Huddleston s versatility, a characteristic she has become known for throughout her career. She is also averaging over two digs and nearly one block per game for the Terps, and has also notched 103 kills in Maryland Picked To Finish Second In ACC The University of Maryland volleyball team was selected to finish second in the ACC Preseason Coaches Poll. The Terrapins, who earned the school s third ACC title a season ago, earned 112 points and finished just behind Georgia Tech with 116 points.
