8 nebraska coliseum 2007 HUSKERS ITRODUCTIO The Wall of Honor was unveiled in 2003 to permanently honor the greatest players in ebraska volleyball history. OPPOETS COACHES & STAFF One of the foundations for ebraska s athletic success is its outstanding facilities, and few home courts are as tradition-rich as the ebraska Coliseum, the home of the Husker volleyball program. Over the years, the 4,030-seat U Coliseum has provided the ebraska volleyball program with an unmatched home-court advantage. Winston Churchill said in the beginning, we build buildings. In the end, we are shaped by the buildings we live in. I think the Coliseum shapes ebraska volleyball, Former ebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit said. It s an environment that creates intimacy. It s a classic structure and in a lot of ways reflects what the ebraska program is all about. The Coliseum, which sits nestled on the University campus, is a beautiful display of architecture highlighted by its powerful Roman columns gracing the front steps. But while it s beauty is appreciated by Husker players, coaches and fans, it is one of the mostdreaded places for opponents to play in the sport of volleyball, and arguably one of the toughest places to play in college athletics. During the Terry Pettit/John Cook era, the Huskers have qualified for 25 consecutive CAA Tournaments, and the Coliseum crowd has willed the Huskers to many victories in the historic building. Cook credited the U Coliseum crowd with willing the Huskers to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win over South Carolina in the 2000 CAA second round that kept the Huskers national championship season alive. ebraska volleyball has had unmatched success in the confines of the cozy Coliseum, posting 14 undefeated seasons and compiling an all-time record of (.938) under its roof. The Huskers are (.927) since 1990 in the building, including nine undefeated seasons in that span. While these numbers are impressive, Big 12 and Year-by-Year Home Record former Big Eight members managed even fewer wins. Year Record 19-0 That s because ebraska doesn t lose to conference opponents in the Coliseum Only three times in 30 years of regular-season Big Eight/Big 12 play has a conference opponent ever won on the Coliseum floor. In fact, during that time, only three conference opponents have managed to win in Lincoln. ebraska suffered its first-ever regular season loss to a conference foe in 1999, falling to Kansas State to snap a streak of 101 consecutive wins against regular-season conference opponents. Under John Cook, the Huskers have dropped only two Big home matches at the Coliseum over the last seven years and none since the start of Pettit said the home-court advantage is most * 13-2 valuable during its long, hard-fought battles The home crowd was a big advantage when we were fatigued or drained in the middle of a four- or five-game match, Pettit said. The players used the energy and electricity from the fans to pull them through difficult stretches. I don t think that it s as big an advantage against the elite teams, but it definitely makes a difference ebraska has used that success at home to propel it through the CAA Tournament The Huskers have hosted an CAA Tournament match every season since 1984 and have capitalized on each opportunity by compiling a 43-3 playoff record in the stoic building. And ebraska fans have been rewarded by seeing eight of the Huskers 10 CAA 1975 *-The 1991 season was played at the regional championships won on their home court. Bob Devaney Sports Center. ebraska carried a 65-match Coliseum win streak into the 1999 season, but suffered a loss to o. 6 Pacific in the State Farm/ACWAA Classic semifinal. In 2002, the Huskers carried a 63-match home winning streak into its CAA regional final match against Hawaii, but fell, 3-1. ebraska begins the 2007 season with a 48-match home winning streak in the ebraska Coliseum dating back nearly three seasons. RECORDS ebraska has sold out its last 90 matches at the U Coliseum dating back to the 2001 season - the longest streak in CAA volleyball history.

The U Coliseum was the home of the ebraka's men's basketball team until the Bob Devaney Sports Center opened in the mid-1970s. OPPOETS RECORDS The win streaks are a direct result of ebraska s frenzied crowds that routinely jam the building s bleachers. The Huskers finished second nationally in attendance in 2006 with a Coliseum average attendance of 4,137, a total that is 102 percent of the Coliseum's listed capacity. To appreciate the athleticism and the speed of the game, you have to be down close and the Coliseum provides that intimate setting," Cook said about the atmosphere of the Coliseum. Fans have been known to line up as much as four to five hours in advance to see their Husker volleyball team in action. During the 2000 season, fans set an CAA regularseason attendance mark of 12,504 for a match against Colorado in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. ebraska has averaged more than 3,000 fans for 13 of the past 15 seasons. The Coliseum s roots go back to the 1920s when it was the home for the Husker basketball team. U s cagers played on its hardwood floors from 1926 to 1977, when the construction on the Bob Devaney Sports Center was completed. Since then, the volleyball team has been its lone tenant. In 1991, the Huskers had a one-year hiatus from the Coliseum while the building was being renovated and tailored for volleyball. The renovation provided a more comfortable atmosphere for players, coaches and fans. Among the additions were a new sound system, scoreboard, overhead lights and a new floor. Offices for coaches and administrators, as well as a conference/media room, were constructed for a better working environment. Over the years, the building has seen numerous additions to add to the comfort of both players and fans, while keeping the tradition of the building and the Husker volleyball program. In 1997, the Husker locker room and ready room underwent a complete face lift. Then, before the 2001 season, HuskerVision replay screens and Daktronics statistics boards were added at both ends of the court. In 2003, the floor was resurfaced and murals of the four Husker retired jerseys were placed in the rafters, and in 2004, when a ring of honor was added to celebrate the program s nation-leading All-Americans. ebraska became one of the first college volleyball programs to have premium end line seats in 2005, with more than 60 seats added to give Husker fans an up close view of courtside action at the U Coliseum. This year, the coaching and administrative offices were renovated, along with the Huskers athletic training area. The Husker Courtside Club was established in 2005, providing fans an up-close view of Husker volleyball.

The Cornhusker Legend Before 1900, ebraska football teams were known by such names as the Old Gold Knights, Antelopes, Rattlesnake Boys and the Bugeaters. In its first two seasons ( ), ebraska competed as the Old Gold Knights, but beginning in 1892, ebraska adopted Scarlet and Cream as its colors and accepted the Bugeaters as its most popular nickname until the turn of the century. amed after the insect-devouring bull bats that hovered over the plains, the Bugeaters also found their prey in the Midwest, enjoying winning campaigns in every year of the 1890s until a disappointing season in After its first losing season in a decade, it must have seemed only fitting that ebraska move in a new direction, and Lincoln sportswriter Charles S. (Cy) Sherman, who was to gain national renown as the sports editor of the Lincoln Star and help to originate the Associated Press poll, provided the nickname that has gained fame for more than a century. Sherman tired of referring to the ebraska teams with such an unglamorous term as Bugeaters. Iowa had, from time to time, been called the Cornhuskers, and the name appealed to Sherman. Iowa partisans seemed to prefer Hawkeyes, so Sherman started referring to the ebraska team as Cornhuskers, and the 1900 team was first to bear that label. Of course, the name caught on and became a ebraska byword, eventually becoming the official nickname for the state. There was no official symbol of a Cornhusker, and various cartoonists have caricatured the mystical something that typifies ebraska football some winning fan approval and others arousing fan ire. The cartoon character, Herbie Husker, evolved out of ebraska s trip to the 1974 Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Artist Dirk West of Lubbock, Texas, designed a Cornhusker cartoon for the Cotton Bowl press headquarters that caught the eye of former Husker SID Don Bryant. Later, Bryant contacted West for permission to use the cartoon, and West expressed a desire to refine his original cartoon and improve some of the character s features. As a result, West was commissioned to draw an original Cornhusker cartoon character that served as a mascot for all Husker athletic teams. Herbie is the registered logo of the Cornhusker Athletic Department, which controls its use. West s concept of ebraska football is appropriate a burly, rugged and confident fellow who is proud of both the athletic and the agricultural traditions of the University of ebraska. In 2003, Herbie enjoyed a resurgence in the spotlight as he underwent a makeover, helping him better portray ebraska's "image of strength and power," according to Athletic Director Steve Pederson. A new and improved Herbie was unveiled Aug. 30, Along with Herbie, the athletic department unveiled Lil Red, the Cornhuskers contemporary mascot, in Lil Red has been commonly seen on the sideline of all ebraska athletic teams in recent years and remains U s official mascot along with Herbie.

12 COACHES & STAFF 2007 HUSKERS ITRODUCTIO RECORDS OPPOETS CAA Rules for Boosters The University of ebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the ational Collegiate Athletic Association (CAA) and the Big 12 Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters. CAA Principles Institutional Control It is the responsibility of the University of ebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the CAA. Responsibility The University of ebraska s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution. Compliance The University of ebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the CAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated CAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the CAA. CAA Definitions Athletic Representative/Booster You are considered to be a University of ebraska athletic representative if you: Are a present or past member of a University of ebraska booster club or agency that promotes the Huskers' intercollegiate athletic program; Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster organization of the University of ebraska; Are, or have been, providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs, meals etc.) to enrolled student-athletes, their family members or friends; Are, or have been involved in any manner of promoting the University of ebraska intercollegiate athletic program. Please note: Once an individual is identified as an athletic representative, that person retains that identity indefinitely. The University of ebraska is ultimately responsible for the acts of all representatives of athletic interests in relation to CAA rules and regulations. Prospective Student-Athlete A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a ebraska booster provides the individual or the individual s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDETS as prospects. Student-Athlete A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the ebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Contact A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect s parent or legal guardian, and a ebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Recruiting Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect s enrollment and ultimate participation in ebraska s intercollegiate athletic program. Guidelines and Reminders for Boosters A booster may not contact the prospect, prospect s coach, principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate or recruit the prospect. A booster may not expend funds to entertain or provide transportation for a prospective student-athlete, the prospect's family members or friends. A booster may not become directly or indirectly involved in making arrangements for a prospect, or the prospect s relative or friends to receive money or financial aid of any kind. A booster may not contact a prospective student-athlete through letter writing, , telephone calling, text messaging, other forms of communication, etc. However, here are a few ways that a Husker booster may be involved: You may discuss summer employment opportunities with a prospect after he/she has signed a ational Letter of Intent with the University of ebraska. You may attend high school athletic events without contacting prospective studentathletes. You may continue existing friendships with families and friends of prospective student-athletes. You may send recommendation letters, newspaper clippings or similar information about prospective student-athletes to Husker coaches. Extra Benefit Guidelines and Reminders for Boosters Extra Benefit An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a ebraska employee or an athletic representative to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by CAA legislation. Boosters may not provide any special arrangement considered to be an extra benefit by CAA definition. Examples of extra benefits include but are not limited to: Providing cash or loans of any amount; Signing or co-signing for a loan or other forms of financial assistance; Providing use of a telephone or calling card to make local or long distance calls; Transporting a student-athlete or providing the use of a vehicle; Providing free or reduced rent housing; Giving gifts of any kind (i.e. birthday, Christmas, Valentine s Day); Promising a student-athlete postgraduate education or employment; Offering free services (i.e. clothing, airline tickets, laundry, car repair, haircuts, restaurant meals); Providing payment to a student-athlete for a booster club speaking engagement; Providing employment for a prospect's relatives or friends. Here are a few ways that a Husker booster may help: Do invite a student-athlete to participate in non-profit, charitable or educational events, but make sure to contact the compliance office for approval before the event; Do invite a student-athlete into your home for an occasional meal; Do pay a student-athlete the commensurate rate for actual and legitimate employment. If you choose to assist in any of the ways described above, please contact the compliance office to receive prior approval.

14 Huskers Make Bid for CAA in 2007 COACHES & STAFF 2007 HUSKERS ITRODUCTIO RECORDS OPPOETS Tracy Stalls led the Big 12 in hitting percentage, becoming only the sixth Husker to hit.400 in a season in Looking Back and Looking Ahead Shortly after the end of last season s national championship, ebraska Head Coach John Cook was already looking for the next challenge for the Husker volleyball program. The Huskers had accomplished a lot en route to going 33-1 and winning the school s third national title in A journey began with the search to replace two All-Americans, as well as the season-ending injury to Christina Houghtelling in the preseason. The Huskers banded together to become the first squad in school history to win a regional title on the road, and then handled the burden of being the favorite in front of the largest crowds in college volleyball history. When the ride was over, the Huskers had the opportunity to celebrate a national title in their own backyard, defeating two of the sports most legendary programs in UCLA and Stanford to etch their illustrious place in program history. The 2007 season provides a major challenge for Cook and the Huskers. ot only do they know that they have a bulls-eye on them after last season s title, but also know that they will be on the road for both regionals and nationals. Every year, we seek out accomplishments that have never been done before by a ebraska team and try to raise the bar in this program. This season provides us the opportunity to be the first ebraska team to go on the road for regionals and a Final Four. There is a great opportunity for us to find that mental toughness and meet those expectations to get to Sacramento, Cook said. Our team will be motivated and I think they are ready to embrace that challenge. While the task is daunting, the Huskers also have the personnel to meet the challenge. ebraska returns the bulk of last season s national title team, including AVCA ational Player of the Year Sarah Pavan and All-Americans Jordan Rachel Holloway earned All-America honors as a freshman, averaging assists per game. Larson, Tracy Stalls and Rachel Holloway. If that wasn t enough, ebraska also welcomes back Houghtelling, the 2005 AVCA ational Player of the Year, and a freshman class that is ranked in the top five nationally. Cook believes that while the Huskers talent and depth puts them in a position of strength, it is the intangibles such as chemistry and leadership that will ultimately determine the team s success. The most important thing is will this team find a way to max out like last year s team? Cook said. We know we have the talent, now what are they going to do with that? Middle Blockers One area the Huskers have ample depth is at the middle blocker position. ebraska returns three players with starting experience, including All-American Tracy Stalls, along with Amanda Gates and Kori Cooper. In addition, the Huskers also welcome freshmen Brooke Delano and Jordan Wilberger to the fold. We feel that our middle blocker position is a deep and experienced position, Cook said. Tracy, Amanda, Kori and Brooke are all capable of starting for us. Stalls flourished at the middle blocker position, averaging 2.67 kills and 1.41 blocks per game en route to collecting second-team AVCA All-America accolades. After two injuryplagued campaigns, she was healthy in 2006 and led the Big 12 with a.400 hitting percentage. Stalls reached double figures in kills 13 times and punctuated a strong season with a career-high 17 kills against UCLA. She continued that progress with the U.S. ational Team over the summer, averaging 2.25 kills per game on.615 hitting before suffering a slight knee injury at the Pan American Cup. Tracy is one of the premier middle blockers in the country and was playing at a really high level with Team USA this summer before her injury, Cook said. She emerged as one Jordan Larson led the Huskers with 22 double-doubles in earning first-team AVCA All-America honors in of our leaders last season and pushes her teammates to reach their potential. Cooper earned the starting job midway through the 2006 season and turned in a solid freshman campaign. The Amarillo, Texas, native averaged 1.67 kills and 0.95 blocks per game in 30 matches, ranking fourth in the Big 12 with a.344 hitting percentage. Cooper s improved blocking showed during the CAA Tournament, as she led U in blocks in both the regional semifinal win over San Diego and the national semifinal victory over UCLA. Gates provides the Huskers with an experienced performer who has seen time in the lineup during her first two years at U. She appeared in 23 matches last season, averaging 1.27 kills and 1.18 blocks per game to finish second on the team in blocks per game. Gates totaled a career-high 10 blocks against San Diego and came off the bench for three big blocks to spark the Huskers national title match victory over Stanford. Delano comes to ebraska after leading Bellevue West High School to a record and four consecutive Class A state titles. A two-time Super-State and All-ebraska selection, Delano was rated as the o. 25 player in the country by Prepvolleyball.com and was a Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 selection. Wilberger also brings an intriguing background to the Husker program. The 6-foot-1 middle blocker earned secondteam all-state honors as a senior. A three-sport athlete at Scottsbluff High School, she will likely redshirt this fall, but has the potential to blossom in the Husker program. Right Side/Opposite With the return of AVCA ational Player of the Year Sarah Pavan and freshman Lindsey Licht, the Huskers are well stocked on the right side. Both players are 6-foot-5 lefties who create all types of matchup dilemmas. 14

15 It is rare to have one 6-5 lefty, but to have two on the roster provides us with some options if we choose to, Cook said. There may be times we use both players on the court in order to maximize their talents. Pavan begins her final season looking to leave a legacy among the sport s greatest players. A three-time first-team All-American, she averaged 5.10 kills, 1.50 digs and 1.00 blocks per game last season en route to sweeping every major national player-of-the-year award. She could become only the fourth player in CAA volleyball history to be a four-time, first-team All-American and looks to become the first player to repeat as AVCA ational Player of the Year since Logan Tom in 2001 and Pavan had 10 matches with at least 20 kills, including 22 kills in the national championship victory over Stanford. While many players would rest on their laurels, Pavan spent the summer working on improving every facet of her game. The natural instinct for someone who has had the year she has is to go on cruise control and let up, but that is not in Sarah s nature, Cook said. She is driven in what she needs to work on to get better and goes out and accomplishes it. Sarah has pushed herself to be the best player she can be and is anxious to begin her senior year. Licht enrolled at U in January and got the jump on the rest of the Husker freshmen, as she participated in spring drills. A three-time All-Colorado selection, Licht was a Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 recruit and totaled 1,199 kills and 335 blocks in four seasons. She was the Colorado Player of the Year in 2005 and helped her team to back-to-back state crowns. Outside Hitters The Huskers lost senior Dani Mancuso to graduation, but welcome the return of 2005 AVCA ational Player of the Year Christina Houghtelling, who missed last season with shoulder surgery. She teams with fellow first-team All-American Jordan Larson to provide unsurpassed firepower on the outside. In addition, the Huskers also welcome freshman Tara Mueller, who is one of the nation s top recruits, to the fold. We have the potential to have a great left side attack, Rachel Schwartz reached double figures in digs 13 times in Cook said. The special thing about all three players is they can all pass, block, hit and play defense. It s hard to find one who possesses those skills. Houghtelling started on the Huskers 2005 CAA runner-up squad, averaging 3.69 kills, 2.49 digs and 1.03 blocks per game. She ranked among the Big 12 leaders in both kills and hitting percentage (.364) and tied for the team lead with six double-doubles as a junior. Houghtelling, who was one of the Huskers best passers and blockers, also had a knack for clutch performances, earning MVP honors at the AVCA Showcase and at the CAA Omaha Regional. She had surgery in July of 2006 and has worked diligently to get back to 100 percent for her final year. Christina has been diligent in her rehab, and (strength coach) Laura (Pilakowski) says that she was the best athlete on our team in summer conditioning, Cook said. Her testing scores are at the same levels she was two years ago. We have to be patient and realize that it will take time for her to get back at the level she was used to before her injury. Larson more than filled the offensive void left by Houghtelling, garnering first-team AVCA All-America honors. One of the nation s top all-around performers, Larson averaged 4.13 kills, 3.50 digs and 0.46 service aces per game as a sophomore, ranking among the Big 12 leaders in all three categories. She led U with 22 double-doubles and also totaled 31 solo blocks - the most ever by a Husker outside hitter. Larson has the ability to affect a match in a number of ways, and is primed for a big junior season. Jordan has taken her game to another level and it was something that we saw during the spring, Cook said. She has had the full year of working in our strength and conditioning program, and her progress is similar to what Christina s was two years ago and Sarah s last season. Jordan is already a great all-around player, but I think we are just starting to see Jordan s potential. Mueller comes to ebraska with impressive credentials after earning Arizona Player-of-the-Year Honors in both 2005 and She was rated as the o. 12 player in the country by Prepvolleyball.com and totaled 304 kills, 218 digs, 46 blocks and 45 aces despite missing half of her senior year. Mueller spent the summer competing with the U.S. Junior ational Team, helping the squad to a fourth-place finish at the Under-20 World Championships. Setter Entering last fall, all eyes were on the setter s position, as injuries forced the Huskers to run a 5-1 offense. This season, ebraska has improved its depth across the board, allowing for a potential return to the 6-2. o matter which way the Huskers turn, setters Rachel Holloway and Maggie Griffin will be ready for the challenge. We re fortunate to have two great setters in the program who both have set in national championship matches, Cook said. There is great competition in the gym and it makes both players better. Holloway earned third-team All-America honors, while becoming just the second freshmen setter in CAA history to lead their team to a national title. She piloted an offense that led the country in kills per game (17.40) and ranked second in hitting percentage, while breaking in four first-year starters. Holloway totaled 13 double-doubles and finished her season by averaging assists - an average that was 11th nationally - and 2.49 digs per game. She totaled a season-high 65 assists in U s comeback win over Minnesota in the regional final and had 58 assists and a career-high five blocks in the CAA Finals victory over Stanford. Holloway took the summer off in order to prepare for this season. Rachel had an opportunity to train with the USA Program over the summer, but decided to take the summer off and focus on physically and mentally preparing herself for this fall, Cook said. It was a great move for her because it is the first time she has had an opportunity to prepare for a season. I think we will see a motivated and inspired Rachel on the court. Griffin, who shared time in the Huskers 6-2 offense in 2005, backed up Holloway last season, averaging 2.05 assists and 0.60 digs per game. Griffin was also used as U s serving specialist, putting up a 5-to-1 ace-to-error ratio over 21 matches. Two years ago, Griffin averaged 7.49 assists and 1.59 digs per game to help U hit.322 as a team, equaling its highest percentage since Maggie comes off a great spring season and has worked harder this offseason than in her two previous years, Cook said. That work has put her in a position to have a strong senior year. Libero One spot where the Huskers will be guaranteed a new starter is at libero, where Dani Busboom earned Big 12 Co- Libero-of-the-Year honors and averaged a school record 5.04 digs per game. Junior Rachel Schwartz, who served as U s defensive specialist in 2006, and freshman Kayla Banwarth are bidding for the starting job. I m not sure you can just replace a Dani Busboom, who was probably one of the greatest athletes we have had in this program, Cook said. This year, we have more depth to work with. We ve never had two liberos of this skill level competing for playing time and it will be great watching them push each other in practice. Schwartz made 29 starts at defensive specialist, averaging 2.41 digs and 0.23 aces per game. She reached double figures in digs in 13 matches, including a careerhigh 15 digs in a five-game win at o. 9 Texas. Cook said that Schwartz was the Huskers most improved player since the end of last season and played at a high level in the spring. One of the interesting things to watch in the fall is how Rachel will develop in a full-time role and how she takes charge on the court, Cook said. She played at a high level last year, and one of the things I ve always noticed about Rachel is she enjoys the big matches. Banwarth brings sterling credentials to the Husker program after leading Wahlert Catholic High School to three state titles. She was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Iowa and a Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 pick, averaging 4.00 kills, 3.70 digs and 1.43 aces per game as a senior. She could also see time as the Huskers defensive specialist Schedule Once again, the Huskers will be tested by one of the nation s top schedules. ebraska will play 16 matches against CAA Tournament teams from a year ago. In preparation for the Big 12 slate, Cook has put together a challenging non-conference schedule. U opens the year at the AVCA Showcase in Omaha where they will face Tennessee and either UCLA or Utah the following night. In all, seven of the Huskers eight non-conference battles are against CAA Tournament qualifiers, including regional finalists Penn State and Hawaii. Our focus will be on winning the Big 12 Championship, Cook said. It is very important to us and is a main focus of our season. Our conference continues to get better, and if you can win a Big 12 title, you have accomplished a great feat. The Big 12 will be up a notch. The Huskers will be tested in conference play, as all six Big 12 teams that qualified for the CAA Tournament advanced to the second round, including Texas and Oklahoma, which both advanced to regionals in ITRODUCTIO 2007 HUSKERS COACHES & STAFF OPPOETS RECORDS 15

Pavan and Houghtelling will look to become only the fifth player in college volleyball history to win the AVCA honor more than once, joining Logan Tom (Stanford, ); Misty May (Long Beach State, ), Tara Cross (Long Beach State, ) and Teee Williams (Hawaii, ). Huskers Continue Big 12 Dominance ebraska s Big 12 title in 2006 continues one of the most successful runs in CAA history. The Huskers have won nine Big 12 titles in the last 11 years and 28 Big Eight/Big 12 crowns in 31 years. Over the last decade, ebraska is in Big 12 matches, including under Head Coach John Cook. ebraska: All-American U ebraska continued its string of All-America success in 2006 with four Huskers earning AVCA All-America accolades. Rachel Holloway, Jordan Larson, Sarah Pavan and Tracy Stalls were all selected, upping ebraska's CAA-leading totals to 29 players and 57 certificates, respectively. ebraska has had at least one All-American every season since 1983, a total of 25 straight seasons, including 22 in Cook s seven seasons.

All 14 losses have come against teams that advanced to the CAA Tournament, including the eventual CAA champion in 2001 (Stanford), 2002 (USC) and 2005 (Washington). A two-time AVCA ational Coach of the Year, Cook has enjoyed greater success in the Big 12, going in conference play in his seven years at ebraska. The Huskers have won six Big 12 titles over the last seven seasons ( , ) and have dropped just 49 of the 463 conference games they have played over the past six years, good for an.894 winning percentage. Home-Court Advantage ebraska posted a 19-0 record in the U Coliseum in 2006, continuing the building s tradition as one of the most feared places to play in college volleyball. ebraska has posted 14 undefeated seasons at home in school history, including eight in the past 13 years. The Huskers have won their last 54 home matches, a streak that ranks eighth in CAA history. Rank and File ebraska is one of two teams to be ranked in the USA Today/AVCA Coaches poll for all 361 weeks of its existence following the 2006 season. The Huskers have been ranked in the top 10 for 317 of the 335 weeks, which ranks second behind Stanford s 321.
