6 Kathy Litzau Head Coach 14th Season Overall Record: Notre Dame 90 Now well into her second decade as the head coach at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kathy Litzau is making sure success is always a part of the Panther volleyball program Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide Entering her 14th season in charge of a program that won just three matches the year before she was hired, Litzau s resume is now full of successful notes. She has been named the Horizon League Coach of the Year six times while leading the Panthers to seven Horizon League regular season titles. UWM has also won at least 20 matches eight times under Litzau and advanced to the NCAA Tournament five times. Plus, her 118 Horizon League victories are by far the most of any active league coach. Litzau s teams have even found a way to increase their level of success in recent seasons. Over the last nine campaigns, Litzau has directed her team to a remarkable record in league matches, which adds up to an astounding.890 winning percentage. UWM has lost just four league regular season matches over the last three seasons. And, the Panthers have won 95 of their last 106 home matches and have seen only two league teams (Loyola and UW-Green Bay) beat them at the Klotsche Center since The 2005 season produced more of the for Litzau and the Panthers. UWM won its third-straight Horizon League regular season crown, becoming the first league school since Notre Dame to accomplish that feat. Steady improvement was the story of the season for the Panthers, who dropped their first two league contests before rattling off 12-straight league wins. Perhaps even more impressive was that UWM finished the regular season with five-straight league matches on the road, and won all five matches by identical 3-0 scores. The season also saw UWM excel against a difficult non-league schedule. The Panthers won matches at Virginia Tech (ACC) and Charlotte (Atlantic 10) while also winning neutral site matches over Georgetown (Big East) and George Washington (Atlantic 10). Among its non-league losses, UWM dropped two matches to SEC foes and two matches to Big East teams in facing the toughest non-league slate in the Horizon League. A number of Panthers were again honored in 2005, adding to a long list of Litzau players who have received personal accolades. Cheryl Hegemann and Melissa Lange earned All-Horizon League honors while Becky Peters was named the Horizon League s Co-Newcomer of the Year. Plus, Sarah Moore earned American Volleyball Coaches Association honorable mention all-region honors. But, as her career numbers show, the success in 2005 was nothing new for Litzau and the Panthers. In 2004, UWM lost only one regular season match after Sept. 21 and rode an 11-match winning streak to a league title. Standout Karen Fruit won Horizon League Player of the Year honors - the fifth Panther to win the award under Litzau - while Leanne Felsing was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year. The 2003 season saw UWM win 25 matches and claim the regular season Horizon League championship. The 25 wins tied a school record for victories - something accomplished four times under Litzau. The individual honors also rolled in, as Litzau was named the league s coach of the year and Lindsey Spoden won league player of the year honors. During that season, Litzau became just the second UWM coach to claim 200 wins exclusively in Division I (baseball coach Jerry Augustine is the other). 4 Coaching Staff

7 Litzau s success at UWM has come in nearly every way imaginable. The 2002 season marked one of Litzau s finest coaching jobs. She took a team that started 1-7 and was slowed by injuries all season long and led it to a mark and an NCAA Tournament berth. In fact, the Panthers won 18 of their final 23 matches. Tari Boutin wound up being named the league s player of the year despite being sidelined early by an injury and Spoden won league tournament MVP honors. Under Litzau, the Panthers have also won the league tournament title on their home floor (2001), set a school record for a winning streak of 14 matches (2000) and claimed at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament (1999 and 2000), the only Horizon League school ever to do so in volleyball. Plus, UWM has lost back-to-back league matches just once since 1995 and has had a winning streak of at least 10 matches in three-straight seasons and a streak of sevenstraight wins in each of the last nine campaigns. UWM has also not finished below second place in the league since The Panthers have also had the chance to play in some of the best volleyball environments in For The Record 2005 UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM UWM 6-27 TOTAL the country, including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Iowa. And, Litzau has led her team across the country, playing in tournament and post-season play from coast-to-coast. UWM s schedule has also consistently boasted some of the top names in volleyball. In 2004, the Panthers faced Washington, ranked #1 in the country much of the season. Last season UWM played in tournaments at both Virginia Tech (ACC) and Cincinnati (Big East). This season s schedule is also challenging, as UWM will host Wisconsin while also playing at Louisville, Alabama and Illinois. Litzau has coached plenty of other players to league and regional honors. Two other Panthers have been named League Players of the Year - Laura Dallenbach in 2000 and Sue Raschka in And, both Spoden and Fruit have earned honorable mention All- America honors. Litzau s recruiting classes have paid dividends, as she has coached six league newcomers of the year and 14 players on the league s all-newcomer team. In addition to Peters being named the league newcomer of the year last year and Felsing earning the award in 2004, Lindsey Spoden was the region freshman of the year in The Litzau File career record Eight 20-win seasons Five NCAA Tournament berths Seven regular-season league titles Three league tournament titles League coach of the year six times AVCA District VI Coach of the Year in record in Horizon League matches over the last nine seasons at home the last nine seasons Defeated ninth-ranked Wisconsin in 1999 Number-one regional ranking in 1999 Won a school-record 25 matches four times Coached five league players of the year Sue Raschka Laura Dallenbach Tari Boutin Lindsey Spoden Karen Fruit Coached six league newcomers of the year Ericka Malterer Keelyn Krill Laura Dallenbach Lindsey Spoden Leanne Felsing Becky Peters Coached 2000 Midwest Region Freshman of the Year Lindsey Spoden Coached 2001 Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Laura Dallenbach 5-Time NCAA Tournament Participants 7-Time League Champions Litzau has been honored regularly for her efforts, with the first of her six League Coach of the Year honors coming in She was also named the American Volleyball Coaches Association District VI Coach of the Year in Players named to all-league team 31 times 34 league players of the week Coaching Staff 5

8 Kathy Litzau and husband, Steve, with the four children (L-R) - Danielle, Nicholas, Lauren and Kayce. The family is posing at Lauren s First Communion Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide Litzau s UWM career started in 1993, when she took over a program that had won just three matches the season before. She proceeded to increase the number of wins every season until UWM set a Division I school record by winning 25 matches in UWM has now won an average of more than 22 matches over the past nine seasons. In the process, Litzau has increased the excitement level surrounding the program. Crowds at the Klotsche Center are usually among the largest in the league and the quality of the Panthers schedule has increased every year. Under Litzau s leadership, UWM put its best foot forward in hosting the 2001 Horizon League Volleyball Championship, which produced some of the strongest attendance figures ever for the event. Plus, this past winter, the program debuted its Dig n Dazzle fashion show, a highly-successful fundraiser that is again scheduled for this coming spring. She has also built a very successful volleyball summer camp program at UWM, regularly filling sessions held at the Klotsche Center. Throughout the course of her career, Litzau has also been involved in the sport of volleyball in a number of other ways. She has served as a color analyst for television broadcasts of the league tournament and NCAA regionals. She has also served on a number of committees within the AVCA. Litzau came to UWM after an impressive start as a player and assistant coach. As a player at Notre Dame, Litzau was a four-year letterwinner. She was a captain and was named the team s most valuable player as a senior. She led the Fighting Irish to an NCAA Tournament appearance as a junior. During her sophomore year, she represented the West at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival. After graduation, Litzau was named an All-American, a member of the all-rookie team and a 1992 USVBA National Champion. Litzau then got her coaching career rolling as an assistant coach 6 Coaching Staff The Litzau Coaching Tree Former Assistants Erik Olson head coach Central Michigan Ryan Theis assistant coach University of Florida Matt Houk assistant coach University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Former Players Lindsey Spoden Director of Volleyball Operations UW-Milwaukee Trudy VandeBerg assistant coach Duke University Julie Yankus assistant coach Southern Illinois University at Illinois in While with the Illini, she received her master s degree in kinesiology.

The couple has three daughters - Lauren (8), Danielle (7) and Kayce (5) - and a son - Nicholas (3), all of whom are regulars at UWM s home matches.

9 Susie Johnson Associate Head Coach 10th Season Idaho State 93 Susie Johnson has been a part of nothing but success since joining the UWM volleyball program nine years ago. In fact, the Panthers have won either the regular season or tournament championship in league play in all nine seasons Johnson has been on the staff. Five of the last eight Panther squads have qualified for the NCAA Tournament and eight of nine of Johnson s teams have won at least 20 matches. At UWM, Johnson works closely with Kathy Litzau in nearly every facet of the program. Susie and I really make a lot of shared decisions in the program, including things like recruiting, practice planning, scheduling and game preparations, Litzau said. She s valuable to this program and obviously we ve had nothing but success since she joined the program. In particular, Johnson works closely with the setters on the team, helping Lindsey Spoden to 2000 Midwest Region Freshman of the Year honors and 2003 Horizon League Player of the Year honors, while pushing Melissa Lange to all-league honors in 2004 and Her efforts on the recruiting trail have led to five League Newcomer of the Year honors for UWM players and a total of 13 players on the All-Newcomer team since The 2004 recruiting class included four of the top players from Wisconsin, with two earning all-newcomer honors after their freshman season. Then, 2005 s lone recruit - Becky Peters - was named the league s co-newcomer of the year. The 2006 class again includes four Wisconsin standouts. Susie and C.J. with children (L-R) Brody, Ty and Josie A native of Racine, Wis., Johnson joined the Panther staff after serving as an assistant coach at Indiana State for two seasons. While at Indiana State, she handled recruiting, monitored NCAA compliance, assisted with team academic affairs and coordinated travel. Prior to working at Indiana State, Johnson served as the head coach at Division II UW-Parkside. She also coached at Idaho State, her alma mater, and served as a camp coach at Wisconsin and Illinois. Johnson was a four-year starter at Idaho State. A setter, she served as the team captain for three seasons and played in the 1990 NCAA Tournament. During that season, she received Big Sky Conference and Big Sky Tournament MVP honors, as well as Northwest Region first-team accolades. She also made the Big Sky All-Academic team twice.

10 2006 Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide Rocky Koenig is starting his second season as an assistant coach for the UWM volleyball program. Koenig has brought a wealth of volleyball experience to the Panthers, having coached on both the high school and club levels while playing on the collegiate level. Along with participating in all on-court coaching activities, Koenig is heavily involved with the program s video editing equipment, creating scouting reports on all of UWM s opponents while breaking down match video. Koenig is also currently with the highly-regarded Milwaukee Sting Lindsey Spoden is beginning her second season as the Director of Volleyball Operations for the Panther program. Spoden has returned to UWM after a stellar career with the Panthers as one of the best setters in school history. Rocky Koenig Assistant Coach 2nd Season Lakeland 05 volleyball club. His club coaching experience also includes stints with the N.E.W. Rock Stars and the Kill Shot Volleyball Club. Koenig has also been active in the high school ranks. He started coaching in 1998 and was the head varsity coach at Ashwaubenon High School in He has also played on the collegiate club level, earning First Team All-America honors and Wisconsin Volleyball Conference honors as a libero at Lakeland College, which was the NIRSA Division II national runner-up. Koenig, who served in the Air Force for six years, graduated from Lakeland in the spring of 2005 Rocky is a very high-energy person and he has brought a great deal of enthusiasm and expertise to our program, head coach Kathy Litzau said. He is very versatile and has been able to help our program in a number of ways. He has made an impact on our defense and passing. He is committed to a career in collegiate coaching and we are happy to keep him on our staff. Koenig and his wife, Anita, were married in July. Lindsey Spoden Director of Volleyball Operations 2nd Season UWM 04 A four-time All-Horizon League honoree, Spoden was the American Volleyball Coaches Association Midwest Region Freshman of the Year in 2000 and an honorable mention AVCA All-American in She also earned all-region honors twice and was the co-player of the year in the Horizon League in Spoden is second in school history in both digs and assists and she helped the Panthers to three NCAA Tournament berths and a pair of league titles during her stellar four-year career. Spoden has remained active in volleyball, coaching for the Milwaukee Sting Volleyball Club over the last three years. In her role as the director of volleyball operations at UWM, Spoden handles many of the administrative functions of the program, including coordinating team travel and serving as an alumni liason while helping with fundraising. This past year, she was instrumental in the program s Dig n Dazzle fashion show. It is very exciting to have an alum want to continue to be associated with the program and to be so willing to bring her experiences to our current team, head coach Kathy Litzau said. While she is not involved in on-court coaching, she certainly has developed an excellent relationship with our players because of the deep respect they have for her. It has also been a great opportunity for her to get involved in collegiate coaching and to get involved in all of the off-court aspects of the program. Michael Poll Team Manager One of the most well-known faces around Panther athletics is Michael Poll. He helps with many of the UWM athletic teams and is a presence at most volleyball practices and matches. Poll is also involved with most other UWM teams, including both basketball teams and the baseball team. 8 Coaching Staff

11 2006 Outlook With 10 letterwinners and five starters returning from last year s team, the Panthers have high hopes in 2006

12 Panthers Have High Hopes Again In 2006 UWM looks to make mark in region and nation, return to NCAAs The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women s volleyball team knows it will once again have a big target on its back when the 2006 Horizon League season begins in September. After all, the Panthers have won the last three Horizon League regular season titles and have posted a record in regular season league matches since Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide But, UWM seems ready to do all it can in living up to, and even exceeding, those expectations. In each of the last three seasons, the Panthers have entered the league tournament as the top seed before bowing out and missing the NCAA Tournament. So, while not at all taking a league title for granted, the Panthers have even bigger things on their minds in I think our team knows that they should do well in the Horizon League, but I think they are hoping to look beyond the league, UWM head coach Kathy Litzau said. This group wants to be one of the best teams in the region and then compete against the best teams in the country. I think this spring helped give us the vision that it is possible. Spring Season Serves As Springboard UWM s spring season was a successful one, as the 10 returning players on the roster faced a highly-competitive schedule and showed great improvement over the month-plus they played together. The two biggest spring highlights came on the final two weekends of the schedule. In their own tournament, the Panthers beat Northwestern, UIC, UW-Green Bay and a team of UWM alums to claim the unofficial tournament title. Then, the next weekend in Aurora, Ill., UWM knocked off Dayton, Marquette and Iowa while falling in tight matches to Big Ten powers Minnesota and Purdue. Plus, before those two tournaments, the Panthers pushed Wisconsin to four games on its home floor. It was a defining time over the last two weeks of the spring, and we were extremely successful, Litzau said. A lot of the matches were very competitive and we came up big down the stretch. And, in the matches we lost to Purdue and Minnesota, they had to step up and win those matches we did not back down. It is always nice to beat conference opponents and rivals, but we also got the chance to show we could compete against the best teams in the Big Ten. A lot of people will say it is just the spring, but everyone is still competing and we fared very well. Veteran Middles Show The Way Senior Cheryl Hegemann returns to the Panthers after earning All-Horizon League honors a season ago. much of the season. All-Horizon League honoree Cheryl Hegemann and AVCA honorable mention all-region performer Sarah Moore both return after starting all of last season in the middle. Hegemann starts the season on pace to become UWM s all-time leader in blocks while also looking to pass 1,000 career kills. She also emerged as a stellar back-row player a season ago, tallying a career-best 281 digs and 12 double-doubles. Hegemann is also one of the most experienced players in the Horizon League, having played in 84 matches over the first three seasons of her career. Moore, meanwhile, set career bests for kills (296), blocks (131) and hitting percentage (.285) in She emerged as one of UWM s most consistent offensive performers, reaching double figures in kills 15 times. Moore should also crack the top three on UWM s all-time blocks list by the end of the season. While there will be plenty of competition for playing time in 2006, two of UWM s most veteran players seem likely to be on the court Outlook We re really in good shape with Cheryl and Sarah in the middle, Litzau said. Cheryl has been playing since her freshman year and

13 Sarah has played in nearly every match over the last two years, so they have plenty of experience. This will be the fastest our middles have ever been and that will be a great benefit to our offensive attack. They have also worked a lot on their block and it has really gotten to be very good. Depth Leaves Litzau With Plenty Of Options There figures to be some intense battles for playing time on the outside during preseason practice and the non-league slate. Melissa David, Monica Ferguson and Kelley Olson lead the list of candidates for one outside spot, while Jamie Gabrielsen and Nicole Vilter both shined on the right side in the spring season. Things have definitely gotten very competitive and a lot of people are stepping up, Litzau said. We have a lot of options on the outside, and all of those options have improved from last fall until now. It was a really good spring for everyone. I ve always thought of the spring as a chance to train in position, but also step in to other spots. It helps everyone s experience and we really get the chance to see people blossom. David might have the inside track for a starting spot, having played the best volleyball of her career down the stretch in She played in all but one match last year, tallying career bests in kills (225) and blocks (48). She collected 138 of her 225 kills in league play, including a 21-kill outing in a win at Wright State in October. Gabrielsen, meanwhile, excelled as a libero during her freshman season before moving outside as a sophomore. She has battled knee troubles throughout her career and missed 11 matches last season because of the injury. Ferguson, the fourth senior on this year s team, set career-bests last season for kills (59) and digs (22) while starting three matches. Felsing Sets The Table Senior Melissa David emerged down the stretch last season. Junior Leanne Felsing appears to be the odds-on favorite to take over the setter role from Melissa Lange, who graduated after earning All-Horizon League honors in each of the past two seasons. Felsing was UWM s main setter during the spring campaign and excelled in that role. Last fall, Felsing split setting duties with Lange during non-league play before playing exclusively on the outside during league com- Breaking Down The Non-League Schedule State Farm Illini Champaign, Ill.

14 petition. She had 395 assists and set a school record with six tripledoubles. Felsing is the definition of an all-around player, with the junior on pace to finish in the school s top 10 for kills, digs and assists by the end of her career. Freshman Kellye Zaporski, a highly-touted high school prospect, should provide competition for Felsing this fall and looks to be in line to take over the setting duties in future seasons. Leanne did a very nice job this spring, Litzau said. She is very athletic, she has good size and she has excellent court awareness. She really has a lot of potential in the setting position. Kellye is one of the best setter recruits we have ever signed. She is not as big as Leanne but she has a lot of the skills and I think her abilities will create some competition at that position. Back Row Defense In Good Hands 2006 Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide UWM also finds itself loaded in the back row, with reigning Horizon League Co-Newcomer of the Year Becky Peters leading the list of defensive specialists. Peters set a single-season UWM record for digs last season. She is joined by junior Breit Nelson, who has played in a defensive specialist role for the past two seasons. Plus, UWM will add freshman Lauren Felsing for the fall, giving Litzau plenty of options in the back row. Our backcourt defense should be very good. Becky obviously proved herself and it is her position to lose. But Lauren Felsing is a great defensive player. Plus, Breit played well this spring, Litzau said. I can definitely see us having two or three defensive specialists see time on the floor. I am really excited about how good we can be defensively, and that in turn will help our passing and our offense. Peters 2005 season was one for the record books, as she tallied a school record 517 digs. She reached double figures in digs in every match of the year and collected 41 digs in a five-game win over George Washington in September. One Other Fresh Face The other new addition to the roster this fall will be freshman middle hitter Maddie Sueppel. With Hegemann and Moore ahead of Sueppel on the list of middles, it would seem unlikely she would crack the rotation this season. But, Litzau seems to think she ll find a way to get Sueppel - a standout on the club Senior Sarah Moore was one of UWM s most consistent contributors last season. scene who missed her senior season of high school with a knee injury - on the floor. Junior Leanne Felsing will likely be the full-time setter this season. She tallied a school-record six triple-doubles a season ago. Maddie is the one true hitter in our recruiting class, but she is a middle where it would seem like we are set, Litzau said. Yet, she is one of the best middles we have ever recruited. I ve always had the philosophy of putting our best six or seven players on the floor, and there will be a lot of competition in the battle for getting on the floor regularly. No Shortage Of Challenges A home match with Wisconsin and six contests against NCAA Tournament teams highlight the 2006 schedule. In addition to Wisconsin, which reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and finished 10th in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, the Panthers will also play at Louisville, which won 31 matches, reached the Sweet 16 and finished 11th in the final AVCA poll. Plus, UWM will participate in tournaments hosted by Illinois of the Big Ten and Alabama of the SEC, while also squaring off with mid-major volleyball standouts Winthrop (28-6 in 2005), Ball State (21-10) and Oral Roberts (22-11). The contest with Wisconsin is Saturday, Sept. 9, in the final match of the Panther Invitational. We can really make a mark with the schedule we have assembled this year, Litzau said. A lot of times you do the scheduling in advance, and you are kind of projecting what your team is going to be like. I was a little nervous in making this schedule, but this team can handle it. In fact, after watching us play this spring, I think it is a perfect schedule for this team. We will be challenged at every turn, and that will help make this team better Outlook

48 2006 Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide The Horizon League will add a 10th member in time for the season. Valparaiso University will join the league in July of The Crusaders will compete in a total of 17 sports, sponsoring nine sports for men (cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, tennis, outdoor track and field, and baseball plus football in the Pioneer Football League) and nine for women (cross country, volleyball, soccer, basketball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, tennis, outdoor track and field, and softball). The addition was welcomed by UWM officials, who see Valpo as a strong fit for the league in a number of ways. The addition of Valpo will also restart a number of rivalries between the Panthers and Crusaders. Adding a 10th member to our league has been a priority, and we have made a Friday, October 6 Milwaukee at Loyola Cleveland State at Butler Youngstown State at Wright State UW-Green Bay at UIC Saturday, October 7 Milwaukee at UIC Cleveland State at Wright State Youngstown State at Butler UW-Green Bay at Loyola Tuesday, October 10 Bradley at UIC Valpo Set To Join Horizon League In July 2007 fine choice in Valparaiso, UWM Athletics Director Bud Haidet said. It is a strong fit both geographically and athletically, and I think it is a move that will please many of our alums and supporters. Obviously, many people will immediately look toward the impact this will have on basketball, and it clearly will help our league s strength on both the men s and women s side. It will help with scheduling and Valpo should be a strong draw when they come to Milwaukee. But Valpo has also had success in a number of other sports, and this should have a positive impact on every sport the League offers. This is a wonderful addition for volleyball in the Horizon League, UWM head coach Kathy Litzau said. Valpo has had a great program, winning quite a few Mid-Con titles and building itself into a power regionally. This will clearly help the league s RPI in volleyball. Plus, we benefit from having another opponent that is very close to us geographically. Friday, October 20 Milwaukee at Cleveland State Loyola at Butler UIC at Wright State UW-Green Bay at Youngstown State Saturday, October 21 Milwaukee at Youngstown State Loyola at Wright State UIC at Butler UW-Green Bay at Cleveland State Tuesday, October 24 UW-Green Bay at Marquette The addition of Valparaiso University as our 10th member marks a very exciting time for the Horizon League, Commissioner Jon LeCrone said. As the fourth private school member, Valpo is an extraordinary fit for the League. They share our core values of academic achievement, community service and personal responsibility, and their location in the middle of our League s Midwest footprint in addition to their highly competitive athletic program enhance the profile of the Horizon League. The decision to add Valparaiso was enthusiastically and unanimously approved by our Board of Directors. This promises to be a long and successful relationship. Valparaiso possesses a strong tradition in women s volleyball. In fact, the Crusaders have qualified for the last three NCAA Tournaments.

49 2005 In Review Two-time All-Horizon League performer Melissa Lange helped the Panthers to their third-straight Horizon League regular season title

50 Taking The Crown On the strength of 12-straight league wins, UWM won its third-straight regular season league title. The title was the seventh regular season crown for UWM under Kathy Litzau and marked the first time a league school has won three-straight outright titles since Notre Dame won four-straight from 1991 to UWM has also won outright titles in 1998 and 1999 and shared the crown with Butler in 1997 and Loyola in A Turnaround To Remember When UWM started league play 0-2, it looked like the Panthers would have a hard time living up to their preseason billing as the league favorite. Instead, the Panthers responded like champions, claiming 12-straight league wins. The 12-match streak included eight 3-0 wins and UWM had to go to five games in just one match in the streak. Overall, UWM won 13 of its last 15 matches, with a 10-match overall winning streak snapped Nov. 1 against Marquette. The Panthers have now had a winning streak of at least seven matches in each of the last nine seasons and UWM has had a winning streak of at least 10 matches in three-straight campaigns. A number of Panthers earned postseason honors following a successful 2005 campaign. Melissa Lange earned All-Horizon League honors for the second-straight season, while Cheryl Hegemann earned all-league honors for the first time. Plus, freshman libero Becky Peters earned Horizon League Co-Newcomer of the Year honors. Sarah Moore also earned recognition, being named honorable mention all-region by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The Panthers were honored for their success in the classroom, as well. Lange, Hegemann and Moore all were named to the Horizon League All-Academic team. Plus, Hegemann was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District second team. The team is coordinated by the College Sports Information Directors Association of America. Hegemann, an education major, has a 3.83 grade-point average and is a regular on both the Horizon League Honor Roll and UWM s Dean s List. Checking Out The Offense UWM posted some stellar offensive efforts last season. The final accomplishment of note was a nearly-flawless six-error performance at Youngstown Nov. 4. UWM hit.390 in the match, its best performance in a league contest since hitting.404 against Cleveland State in Also, the six errors were the fewest since UWM had six against Chicago State in It was also the first single-digit error match since UWM committed just seven at Valpo in Earlier in the season, the Panthers hit.416 at DePaul, its best performance since the 2000 season. And, when UWM hit.348 at Wright State Oct. 29, the performance included a gametwo victory where the Panthers didn t rely on a Raider error for a single point. The Panthers recorded 27 kills and three service aces in tallying their 30 points. Balance Is The Key 2006 Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide Doing It On The Road UWM knew it would have to finish strong on the road in order to claim its third-straight regular season league title, and the Panthers came through. After winning seven-straight league matches at home, the Panthers finished the season by winning five-straight league matches on the road. UWM didn t even drop a game in those five matches. The Panthers have found the road to be a friendly place in league play in recent seasons. UWM has now won 25 of its last 28 and 35 of its last 41 Horizon League regular season road contests. Overall last season, UWM was 12-6 in matches outside of Milwaukee, including an 8-4 mark in true road contests. Continuing The Tradition A 12-2 record and a third-straight regular season title has added to Milwaukee s status as the top volleyball program in the Horizon League over the last few seasons. Since 1997, UWM is in league play - easily the best mark among league teams. The Panthers have not finished below second place in the league or lost more than three league matches since UWM has also now won seven regular season league crowns under Kathy Litzau. A 20-Win Celebration Another big key to UWM s offensive success last season was the balance of its attack. That showed up most in the Panthers league-only numbers from a year ago, with four players averaging at least three kills per game and another averaging 2.9. Sept. 30 against Wright State, five Panthers reached double figures in kills in the win, led by 14 from Cheryl Hegemann. It was the only time last season five Panthers reached double figures in kills, and the first time it had happened since an Oct. 15, 2004, win at Cleveland State. Stepping Up When It Counts Outgoing senior Rachel Kuebbing picked a great time to display some of the most consistent play of her career. She reached double figures in kills in the final eight matches of her career, including team-leading efforts in each of the Panthers final four outings. She had 21 kills in the three-game win at UW-Green Bay to wrap up the regular season, earning her first career nod as the Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week. The 21 kills tied for the fifth-most in a three-game match in UWM s Division I history. Kuebbing finished the season with 340 kills, the best single-season tally of her career. And, she finished her career with 910 kills, the eighthbest tally in school history. Diggin Becky UWM s win Nov. 11 at UW-Green Bay gave the Panthers 20 wins for the season, the eighth time in the last nine years Milwaukee reached that milestone. In 2004, the Panthers saw a streak of seven-straight 20-win seasons snapped when they won 19 matches. UWM has averaged more than 22 wins per season since 1997 and has won 25 matches three times. Collecting Some Awards Review Becky Peters was on pace to set a new single-season record for digs after just the first weekend of last season, and she never let up on that pace. She finished the year with 517 digs and reached double figures in digs in all 29 matches. Peters contributions were noticed across the league throughout the season, as she earned Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week honors three times. Plus, her final dig tally placed her sixth in the Horizon League single-season record book for digs. Peters posted another entry in the record books early last season. Against George Washington Sept. 15, Peters collected 41 digs, a school record and the most by a league player in more than 16 years. Home Sweet Home The Panthers again posted a successful home record in 2005, going 8-3 overall, including a 7-0 mark in league play. UWM has now won 95 of its last 106 home matches and the Panthers are all-time at home under Kathy Litzau. UWM has also lost just seven home non-league matches in the last nine-plus seasons, and no league team outside of Loyola or UW- Green Bay has beaten the Panthers in Milwaukee since 1996.

61 The History Of UWM Volleyball Laura Dallenbach was a three-time all-league performer and was named the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Player of the Year in 2000

62 A History Of Milwaukee Women s Volleyball The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women s volleyball program has been a part of the athletics department for more than 30 years. From its officially-recorded inception in 1973 to its recent dominant run in the Horizon League, much of the history of volleyball at UWM has been highlighted by great success. The 1982 season started a run of national tournament appearances for the Panthers. UWM rolled through most of the regular season, winning 17-straight matches at one point. The Panthers earned the national tournament berth by winning their first District 14 crown and then UWM went 1-2 in its first national tournament appearance Milwaukee Volleyball Media Guide In fact, of the 32 seasons of volleyball at the school, the team has finished at or above.500 in 24 of those years. In its days as an NAIA school with some 60-plus matches per season on the slate, UWM won at least 40 matches nine times and at least 50 matches five times. In Division I play, UWM has won at least 20 matches eight times. The first year on record for volleyball at UWM was 1973, when Tony Vick led the team to an record. The first match on record came Oct. 10 at Carthage, when the Panthers dropped a 2-0 decision. Vick also coached the team in 1974 before Beth Norton coached the team for a single season in That season, UWM claimed a win over crosstown rival Marquette and posted a six-match winning streak in tallying a record. Nancy Schley took over as head coach for the next two seasons and the highlight of those years came in 1977, when the Klotsche Center opened. The volleyball team played the first-ever intercollegiate event at the Klotsche Center. With more than 200 people in attendance, the Panthers dropped matches to both Carthage and Carroll. Tom Pleyte took over as head coach in 1978 and the Panthers began to move toward prominence in the state and in NAIA competition. UWM s first 40-plus win season came in 1980, when the Panthers went Playing against mainly in-state competition, UWM posted winning streaks of 11, 10 and seven matches. The Panthers also claimed their first of four-straight Wisconsin Women s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles. UWM followed a similar path in 1981, winning 43 matches and dominating its instate competition. UWM posted winning streaks of 15 and 12 matches and advanced back to AIAW regional competition by winning the WWIAC regular season and tournament crowns. But, the season ended when UWM dropped three matches at the regional level. UWM would reach an even greater level of success over the next four seasons, as the Panthers regularly dominated most of their regular-season competition and set their sights on improving their national finish. In 1983, UWM won a total of 52 matches and stood 2-1 after the first day of competition at nationals. A loss to St. Mary s the next day dashed the hopes of a crown, but UWM split its final two tourney matches and claimed a fifth-place national finish. In 1984, UWM lost just two of its 57 matches prior to nationals. In fact, the Panthers carried a 33-match winning streak into the national tournament. That streak grew to 38-straight wins after UWM opened tournament play with five-straight victories. But, standing in the way of the Panthers and a national title were two traditionally-dominant schools from Hawai i. UWM dropped a hard-fought 2-1 decision to Hawai i-hilo and then fell 2-0 to BYU Hawai i in settling for a best-ever third-place national finish. Not to be outdone, the 1985 squad won 68 matches and posted a 40-match winning streak in returning to the national tournament for the fourth-straight year. UWM almost didn t get back to the national tournament, though, losing to UW-Parkside in early district play. But the Panthers then beat Parkside twice later in the competition to advance. This time, the tournament came to the Klotsche Center and the Panthers did all they could to take advantage of their home-court edge. UWM won six national tournament matches, setting a school record and earning a fourth-place national finish. UWM was competitive nationally in the final three years it was eligible for NAIA competition. In 1986, the Panthers won 29-straight matches in the regular season and then went 2-2 in the national tournament, earning a ninth-place finish. In 1987, UWM again almost didn t return to national competition, having to survive a five-game match with Bemidji State in the NAIA Bi- District Championship. Once at nationals, the Panthers split their first four matches Maureen Pitrof (top) and Sandy Festge before winning a pair of one-game playoffs to stay alive in the competition. But, UWM lost its next two and had to settle for a seventh-place finish. Milwaukee s final national tournament appearance came in 1988, as the Panthers won 52 matches during the regular season. UWM won its first three matches in the national tournament but again ran into a roadblock from Hawai i in its quest to advance deeper. Hawai i-hilo claimed a pair of wins over UWM and the Panthers settled for a seventh-place finish. This era of great success on the national stage was also highlighted by the national recognition a number of Panther players received. Jaci Clark became UWM s first volleyball All-American when she earned honorable mention honors from the NAIA in Then, in 1984, Maureen Pitrof and Carol Busche each earned All-America honors, with Pitrof repeating the feat in Darla Wack and Sandy Festge (honorable mention) also were named All-Americans in UWM s success in the national tournament also led to a number of individuals being recognized, including Pitrof earning most valuable player honors for the 1984 tournament. UWM s move into Division I competition in 60 History

63 Coaches Through The Years Coach Years W L Pct. Tony Vick Beth Norton Nancy Schley Tom Pleyte Kathy Litzau brought new challenges for the Panther volleyball program. The team struggled in the early 1990 s before a coaching change led the program into Division I prominence. The Kathy Litzau era in Milwaukee began in 1993, as the former Notre Dame standout took over a program that won just three games in 1992 and had the team at.500 by the 1995 season. The breakthrough year in Division I competition then came in 1997, when the Panthers won a school-record 25 matches and tied Butler for the Midwestern Collegiate Conference title. UWM won 14- straight matches before falling to Loyola in the league tournament and missing out on an NCAA Tournament berth. The script was similar in 1998, as UWM tied the school record with 25 more wins and won its second-straight regular season league crown. But, this time around, the Panthers came through in the league tournament, claiming a 3-2 win over Loyola in the title match to earn the school s first-ever berth in the NCAA Division I Volleyball Tournament. The Panthers entered postseason with wins in 18 of its last 19 matches before falling to Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. UWM wasted little time in making its mark in 1999, opening its home schedule with an upset win over ninth-ranked Wisconsin. That win would come in handy later in the season when, after again winning the regular season MCC title, the Panthers were upset by Loyola in the league tournament. But, UWM earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament, where it fell to Illinois, 3-1, in Gainesville, Fla. UWM again earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in The Panthers won 14-straight matches before being upset by Butler in the league tournament. But, 23 wins were enough to send UWM into a first-round tournament matchup with Michigan State, where the Panthers fell, 3-1. The most recent seasons of volleyball have seen the Panthers continue their dominance over the Horizon League. In 2001, UWM dropped five of its first nine matches against UWM s Post-Season History UWM s volleyball history has included a total of 12 national tournament appearances. The first seven came when the school was a part of NAIA competition, while the last five have come in the NCAA Division I Tournament. UWM s best-ever national finish was third in the NAIA National Championship in NAIA National Tournament 1-2; Tie - 12th 1983 NAIA National Tournament 3-3; 5th 1984 NAIA National Tournament 5-2; 3rd 1985 NAIA National Tournament 6-2; 4th 1986 NAIA National Tournament 2-2; Tie - 9th 1987 NAIA National Tournament 3-3; Tie - 7th 1988 NAIA National Tournament 3-3; Tie - 7th 1998 NCAA Austin, Texas 12/4 - lost vs. Texas, NCAA Gainsville, Fla. 12/4 - lost vs. Illinois, NCAA Los Angeles, Calif. 12/2 - lost vs. Michigan State, NCAA Madison, Wis. 12/1 - Wisconsin, NCAA Cedar Falls, Iowa 12/6 - Northern Iowa, 3-1 UWM s League Championship History UWM has been a part of three conferences in its volleyball history. During its time as an NAIA school, the Panthers played in the Wisconsin Women s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference before playing as an independent. In Division I play, UWM played one season in the Mid-Continent Conference before joining the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (MCC). The MCC became the Horizon League in WWIAC MCC/Horizon League 1980 Regular Season 1997 Regular Season (tie with Butler) 1998 Regular Season 1981 Regular Season 1998 Tournament 1981 Tournament 1999 Regular Season 2000 Regular Season (tie with Loyola) 1982 Regular Season 2001 Tournament 1982 Tournament 2002 Tournament 1983 Regular Season 2003 Regular Season 2004 Regular Season 1983 Tournament 2005 Regular Season a tough schedule but then lost just two matches in the rest of the regular season. As the #2 seed in the league tournament and playing on their home floor, the Panthers swept through the Horizon League Tournament to earn a trip to Madison for the NCAA Tournament. Once there, the Panthers fell to the host Badgers but still finished the season with 20 wins. The next season, UWM again struggled with a tough schedule early but rounded into form just in time. Again holding the second seed in the league tournament, UWM won threestraight matches - including a five-game win over Loyola in the title match - to earn the crown and another NCAA Tournament berth. In the tourney, the Panthers faced off with Northern Iowa and nearly pulled off the upset before falling, 3-1. In each of the last three seasons, UWM has been close to unbeatable in Horizon League regular season play, having won 38 of its 42 matches. But, the Panthers have been upset victims in the league tournament in all three years, keeping them out of the NCAA Tournament. UWM has won at least 20 matches in two of those three seasons, though, and posted a winning streak of at least 10 matches in each of the three years. 5-Time NCAA Tournament Participants 7-Time League Champions History 61

91 The Pavilion The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee s newest on-campus building is the Pavilion, which is the home of UWM Athletics. The Pavilion officially opened its doors to the public in January, though some work on the structure and the adjacent grounds has continued into the summer. The building was officially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2. Among the new athletics facilities in the building are offices for coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new locker rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for men s basketball, women s basketball and women s volleyball. UWM student-athletes are also benefitting from the brand-new sports medicine center in the Pavilion, which more than triples the previous space available for UWM s athletic trainers. The facility also includes a 2,800-square-foot academic assistance center to help student-athletes in the classroom. The new academic center includes a computer lab along with group and individual study and tutoring rooms. A 618-space indoor parking garage is also part of the facility. UWM s general student population is also benefitting tremendously from the new facility. A new fitness center has expansive rooms for cardio workouts, as well as a weight room. The stateof-the-art area is the most visible from the outside of the facility, as it features two levels of windows. The new recreation center has two expansive levels and houses four sport courts surrounded by a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is utilized by individuals seeking open gym space, run and walk space on the track, and the University s intramural programs. The building also includes academic facilities for the College of Health Sciences along with accommodations for the new Physical Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs. The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003, came in below budget due to a favorable bidding climate. Half of the funding is coming from UWM parking fees, while the other half is from state funds and student segregated fees. The athletic department has also undertaken a variety of fundraising efforts for even greater enhancements within its space in the facility. The most distinctive feature of the 135,000-gross-square-foot Pavilion is the extensive use of glass walls, creating a feeling of openness and allowing expansive views of nearby Downer Woods and the campus.
