The earliest a team reached 20 victories in the Big Ten era was in 1995, when MSU won it s 20th match at Ohio State on Oct. 20. In the pre-big Ten era, MSU secured its 20th win on Oct. 11 vs. Eastern Kentucky - but for those teams, it was customary to play four or five matches in a weekend day. This is the fifth season with 20+ victories under current head coach Cathy George, who is now in her 12th season. MSU had seven 20-victory seasons under Chuck Erbe, and six combined among the first three MSU coaches. George currently has 593 victories with six regular-season matches left to play.

The Spartans lead the all-time series by a margin, but the teams have split the regular-season meetings between the teams in each of the last six seasons. MSU has shared or won outright the State Pride Flag in each of the last six seasons. Michigan last won the State Pride flag outright in In 2014, the teams shared the Flag, as the teams were tied in all criteria (head-tohead, sets won, points won).

MSU sits at No. 15 this week in the RPI, and was as high as ninth. The Spartans are also one of seven programs from the Big Ten in the RPI top 25. In all, 11 Big Ten teams and five of MSU s non-conference opponents are in the RPI top 64. The Spartans rank ninth in the Big Ten with 2.36 blocks per set. MSU has 16 matches with seven team blocks or more, including 10 double-digit blocking efforts. MSU established its season high with 15 in the Oct. 15 match vs. Minnesota, and most recently had 14 vs. Illinois. MSU s team total of 26 block assists vs. Illinois was tied for the fourth-most in a three-set match in school history.

MSU has six service aces or more in 16 of 26 matches. MSU s 181 aces is the most since the 2013 team recorded 184 (the 2012 team had 204). The current Spartan output is 15th all-time in a single season, and its 2.08 per set would rank fourth - the program s highest per-set average since MSU dropped its only back-to-back matches this season with losses to No. 1 Nebraska (Sept. 24) and No. 16 Penn State (Sept. 30.) MSU s longest winning streak was eight matches, its longest stretch since the 2013 season when the Spartans won 15 straight.

On the year, MSU is hitting.265, which would fall in a tie for fifth all-time in the Spartan record book. MSU s hitting percentage is sixth in the Big Ten and 22nd nationally.

The B1G was ahead of the Pac-12 (95-31,.753) and the SEC (108-49,.688). MSU is one of four programs in the Big Ten to finish.500 or better in Big Ten play over the last five seasons. Penn State, Nebraska, and Purdue are the other three.

5 PLAYER NOTES On Monday, the Spartans had two players earn weekly Big Ten honors. Autumn Bailey was the Big Ten Player of the Week, while Alyssa Garvelink shared the Defensive Player of the Week honors with Nebraska s Amber Rolfzen. With her 10 block assists vs. Illinois, Alyssa Garvelink tied the school mark for block assists in a three-set match, which was last accomplished by Alexis Mathews vs. Michigan on Nov. 24, The 10 block assists were a career best for Garvelink as well, and her 10 blocks was tied for the fifth-most overall in a three-set affair. It was the second consecutive Saturday that an MSU player established a school record: a week prior, Brooke Kranda set the mark for service aces in a four -set match (9). Garvelink s 10 blocks is tied for the most in a Big Ten conference game this season - Illinois Ali Bastianelli had 10 against Northwestern, and on the same night as Garvelink s 10, Penn State s Haleigh Washington put up 10 vs. Iowa. Garvelink ranks seventh in the Big Ten and 32nd nationally in hitting percentage (.377), while ranking fifth in the B1G blocks (1.31/s), which is 36th among national leaders. She currently averages 2.44 kills per set. In Big Ten play only, Garvelink is third in blocks (1.44 per set) and third in hitting percentage (.376). Garvelink surpassed 300 career blocks with her three against Penn State (Sept. 30) while fellow middle Allyssah Fitterer secured her 300th career block vs. No. 1 Nebraska the previous Saturday. To move into the MSU all-time top 10, they need to surpass Jenilee Rathje s 366 ( ); Garvelink currently has 356, and Fitterer 330. Garvelink s 319 career block assists is also just outside MSU s career top 10. Erin Hartley ( ) sits in 10th place with 321. Fitterer has 298 block assists. Garvelink s current 1.12 career blocks per set average ranks seventh in the MSU career annals. Her 1.31 blocks per set on the season would tie for ninth with Dana Cooke in 1994 in the single-season record book. Garvelink s.377 hitting percentage and 1.31 blocks per set are her career bests. In her first two collegiate seasons, Garvelink hit.244 and averaged 2.15 kills and 1.05 blocks per frame. Allyssah Fitterer is hitting an impressive.405 on the season, averaging 2.10 kills per frame and 0.67 blocks per set. She is second in the Big Ten (and 15th nationally) in hitting percentage, and in Big Ten games only, she is hitting good for third. Fitterer has 966 career kills with six regular-season matches left to play, leaving her within striking distance of becoming the 22nd Spartan to accomplish 1,000 in her career. Chloe Reinig accomplished the feat earlier this season against Morgan State, and was the first Spartan to 1,000 kills since Lauren Wicinski in Fitterer s junior season saw her hit a career-best.301, but through the first 26 matches of the season, she is 15th in the nation with a.405 hitting percentage. Fitterer s career hitting percentage was.277 entering her final collegiate campaign. Both Fitterer and Garvelink have hitting percentages that would rank among MSU s top single-season performances. Fitterer s.405 would rank third, and Garvelink s.377 would be sixth. Only one time in school history has a pair of teammates had top-10 single-season hitting performances in the same season - in 2001, both Erin Hartley and Angela Morely hit.337, which is tied for 10th in a single season in the MSU annals. MSU has not had a.400 hitter in a season since 2000 (Jessica Sanborn,.417). Chloe Reinig had a match-best 11 kills and tied her season high with six blocks against Illinois, and had nine kills and a pair of blocks vs. Northwestern. Reinig is averaging 2.78 kills and 0.86 blocks per set, which is second on the team in both categories. She is also contributing 0.66 digs. Autumn Bailey leads MSU with 3.25 kills per set, which is 10th among Big Ten leaders. She is hitting.232, and owns six double-doubles, her most recent a 13-kill, 15-dig performance Friday vs. Northwestern, where she also had a season-high five service aces. She has been MSU s top kill producer in 13 of 26 matches this season. Bailey ranks second on the team with 2.51 digs per set, only behind libero Abby Monson. She is also eighth in the Big Ten with 0.33 service aces per set, and averages 0.37 blocks per frame. Rachel Minarick has averaged assists per set over the first 12 Big Ten matches, which puts her eighth in Conference games. She is averaging assists per set overall, which ranks ninth. Minarick posted a double-double at Purdue (Oct. 29) with 38 assists and 12 digs, her fourth double-double of the season and 21st of her career. Three of her four double-doubles this season have come on the road. Minarick is the seventh setter in school history to surpass 3,000 career assists. Her current total of 3,087 career assists ranks sixth all-time in the MSU record book, moving her ahead of current assistant coach Kristen Kelsay ranks sixth with 3,040. Minarick s career average of 9.83 assists per frame is currently eighth in the Spartan record book. Minarick is one of six athletes to be named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District team. Minarick s honor is the 16th Academic All-District honor for the Spartan volleyball program, and she is just the fifth in program history to be named to the First Team. She joins Dana Cooke (1995, 1996), Val Sterk (1996), Michelle Kopka (2003) and current assistant coach Kristen Kelsay (2013) to take First Team honors and advance to the national ballot. Cooke, Sterk, Jenilee Rathje (2011) and Kelsay all earned spots on the Academic All-America team. Minarick, a 2014 Honorable Mention AVCA All-America selection and 2015 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, holds a 3.95 cumulative grade point average as a kinesiology major. She and the five other District V honorees (from schools in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio) now advance to the national ballot, with the Academic All-America team scheduled for release on Dec. 5. Candidates must have a 3.3 cumulative GPA or higher and be a starter or significant reserve to be considered. Michigan State has four athletes ranked among the top 15 in the Big Ten in service aces per set: Kranda (0.66, first), Holly Toliver and Rachel Minarick (T-second, 0.37), and Autumn Bailey (eighth, 0.33); Kranda is third nationally. Brooke Kranda broke a 30-year old school record with nine service aces against Purdue on Oct. 29, a new MSU best in a four-set match. It was the second-most service aces in a Big Ten match all-time, and the first time since 1992 (and the fourth time overall) that a player recorded nine aces in a B1G contest. It is also the second-most service aces in a match this season in Division I volleyball. The last player to post nine aces in a Big Ten match was Indiana s Jill Kerkhoff, who accomplished the feat vs. MSU on Nov. 12, The other two instances were both by Spartan players, and in the same match: On Oct. 7, 1983 against Minnesota, Michelle Kasper had nine aces, and Gina Conroy set the Big Ten and MSU record with 10 in a Conference match. Holly Toliver had her third double-double of the season, hitting a career-best.625 ( ) and sharing the team lead of 15 digs, (also a career best) vs. Northwestern, her second-straight double-digit kill match. Toliver earned a start on Saturday, and had six kills, seven digs, four blocks, and two each aces and assists. Her four blocks tied her season best. Toliver ranks in a tie for second in the Big Ten in service aces per set (0.37) and averages 1.49 kills and 0.29 blocks per frame. She averages 2.05 digs per set, third behind libero Abby Monson and Autumn Bailey. Her 2.05 digs per set is nearly double her career best coming into the season. Toliver, who dealt with several injuries in her first two seasons that limited her court time, is now one of two players to appear in 86 of 87 sets, sharing the team lead with libero Abby Monson. Abby Monson has started all 26 matches at libero this season, and is averaging 3.10 digs per frame, good for 12th in the Big Ten. She had 11 digs in the win over Northwestern - one of three Spartan players in double-digits - and shared the team lead with nine vs. Illinois. In Big Ten games only, her 3.08 digs per set ranks 11th. facebook.com/michiganstatevb MichStVB 5

7 HEAD COACH CATHY GEORGE Head Coach 12th season at MSU (30th overall) Illinois State 85 Before arriving at Michigan State, Cathy George had already established herself as one of the more well-respected coaches in the sport. Her 11-year tenure on the Spartan sideline has seen the Spartans ascend to one of the elite programs in the country. With five straight NCAA first-round victories under her belt (including two trips to the Sweet 16), three All-Americans, and back-to-back top- 10 recruiting classes dotting her current roster, George is positioning MSU for another strong run in George currently boasts a career record of and is while at MSU. She ranks 29th among active coaches for total wins in NCAA Division I volleyball, and ranks among the top 80 coaches all-time with a career.603 winning percentage. MSU maintained its fifth consecutive season of.500 or better in the Big Ten (one of just four programs that have maintained that consistency), going and in Conference play in 2015 despite a spate of injuries. A fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament first-round win over No. 24 Arkansas State, a 3-0 sweep, gave MSU a secondround date with No. 1 Washington, where the Spartans fell in four sets. MSU s streak of five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances is the third-longest active streak in the Big Ten, behind Penn State and Nebraska; in addition, only four Big Ten schools have finished.500 or better in conference play in each of the last five seasons. In addition to team success, the Spartans also had highachieving individual efforts. Both Chloe Reinig and Allyssah Fitterer were AVCA All-North selections, with Reinig also earning an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten nod. The Spartans also maintained their high standards in the classroom, with seven Academic All-Big Ten selections and three Big Ten Distinguished Scholars. George won her 200th match at Michigan State on Oct. 14, 2015, when the Spartans downed visiting Maryland at Jenison Field House. Every season, George s teams have attracted rapidlygrowing crowds to Jenison Field House, ranking in the top-25 in Division I attendance in each of the last 20 years. The Spartans ranked eighth nationally in average attendance, (2,872), as 37,333 fans took in a volleyball match at Jenison Field House in 2015, the 11th highest total among Division I programs. While the on-court success has continued to climb, the program has maintained its tradition of excellence in the classroom and community as well. George s players include 61 Academic All-Big Ten selections and 13 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars over 11 seasons. In 2016, senior Maggie Halloran earned a Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship - she was the top female GPA recipient at the Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) Academic Gala and maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA over her four seasons. Cathy George Year-by-Year Coaching Record A 1985 graduate of Illinois State and four-year letterwinner in the volleyball program, George helped the Redbirds win three consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles and NCAA Tournament appearances. A team captain and crafty outside attacker, she was a three-time All-MVC selection who earned all-region honors. George, who earned her master s degree in education from Central Michigan in 1987, resides in Okemos, Mich., with her husband Jerry. The couple who has two sons: T.J. is an MSU graduate, while Conner is a redshirt freshman on the Spartan men s basketball team. Overall Conf. Conf. NCAA Year, School Record Pct. Record Pct.
