Head Coach Sharon Dingman Sharon Dingman was named the eighth coach in the history of University of Iowa volleyball March 21, 2008. In five seasons at the helm of the volleyball program, she has imposed a winning attitude. The Hawkeyes faced another challenging slate in 2012, facing 16 eventual NCAA tournament teams, after taking on 18 in 2011. Dingman led a young Iowa team -- with only one senior -- to eight nonconference victories. Five Hawkeyes garnered alltournament honors. She led Iowa to conference wins at Indiana on Oct. 5 (3-1) and at 12th-ranked Purdue on Oct. 6 (3-0). The victory in West Lafayette, Ind., marked Iowa s first win at Purdue and first sweep of the Boilermakers since Nov. 10, 2000. It also marked the fourth win over a ranked foe for Dingman, and her first victory over a ranked team on the road. No. 12 Purdue is the highest-ranked team the Hawkeyes have defeated during her tenure and the program s highest since defeating No. 11 Michigan at home in 2007 (Sept. 28). It also marked the first time Iowa won two-straight league contests since 2008 and consecutive league road matches since 2005. Purdue was one of seven Big Ten teams selected to the NCAA Tournament. Six league foes advanced to the Sweet 16 and two (Michigan, Penn State) represented the conference in the NCAA Final Four. Dingman coached sophomore Alex Lovell to Big Ten Player of the Week honors on Oct. 8 for her efforts in the back-to-back league road victories. It marked Iowa s first Player of the Week honor since Sept. 18, 2006, when Melanie Meister received the recognition. It was also the Hawkeyes first weekly honor since Christina Meister was tabbed Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 7, 2009. The Leonard, Mich., native equaled junior Rachael Bedell with a team-best 37 kills in the two wins. Lovell finished the year with a team-high 382 kills, the most in a single season since Catherine Smale posted 441 in 2005. Junior Bethany Yeager totaled a career-best 533 digs in 2012 -- the most in a season since 2006, when Emily Hiza registered 545. Yeager became the 14th Hawkeye in program history to surpass 1,000 career digs in Iowa s season-opening sweep of Chicago State. She is fifth in program history with 1,522 career digs, moving up nine spots on the all-time list during the season. In 2011, the Hawkeyes used their second of consecutive nationally recognized recruiting classes to continue building a program that will, in time, ascend up the Big Ten standings. Four Hawkeye freshmen combined to start 59 matches, and those four freshmen combined with four sophomores to total 62-percent of Iowa s starting lineup. The Hawkeyes youth flourished in the nonconference season, racing to a 10-3 record and a pair of tournament championships. In 2010, Iowa s four freshmen combined for 67 starts. The Hawkeyes started their freshman quartet four times, more than any other Big Ten school. Iowa kicked off the season with consecutive tournament championships and made program history by starting the season 3-0 for the second consecutive year. Iowa knocked off No. 16 Michigan in Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Nov. 12, marking the third time in as many seasons Dingman and the Hawkeyes defeated a top 25 opponent. In 2009, Dingman helped Iowa match the best start in program history by guiding the Hawkeyes to a 6-0 start. Iowa eventually became the first team in school history to start the season 7-0 on the road. The Hawkeyes captured five conference wins in 2009, raising Dingman s two-year Big Ten win total to 11, the highest twoyear stretch for an Iowa volleyball team since 2000-01. Dingman led the Hawkeyes to their most successful campaign in recent memory in her first season at the helm. Iowa s 14 wins in 2008 were tied for the most since 2000, and its six conference victories are the most since 2000. Dingman guided the Hawkeyes to a ninth place finish in the competitive Big Ten Conference, which was the highest finish for a Hawkeye squad since 2000. Dingman s team set or snapped many streaks in a successful first season. Iowa won seven-straight matches, tying the fourth-longest winning streak in school history. The Hawkeyes also swept every opponent during the winning streak and won 15-straight sets. That was the longest set-winning streak since 1990. Iowa opened the conference season with wins over No. 18 Wisconsin and Northwestern, marking only the fifth time in school history that a Hawkeye team started 2-0 in Big Ten play. The Hawkeyes also had a winning record inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the first time since 1998. The Hawkeyes also snapped conference losing streaks in Dingman s first season. Iowa defeated Ohio State for the first time in 39 tries, dating back to 1988. That win also broke an 18-match losing skid on the road in Big Ten play. Iowa s upset win over No. 18 Wisconsin snapped a 26-match losing streak against the Badgers, which dated back to 1994. Dingman set a personal milestone at Northwestern on Nov. 14 when she recorded her 350th career win in Iowa s five-set victory. Her career record stands at 391-316 in 22 seasons as a head coach. Iowa s match at Michigan State on Nov. 2, 2012, marked Dingman s 700th as a head coach. ALL-TOURNAMENT Junior middle Alessandra Dietz garnered her second all-tournament team honor of the season at the Valpo Popcorn Classic. She was also named to the Chanticleer Invitational All-Tournament team and earned MVP honors opening weekend. Fellow junior Alex Lovell was named to the Valpo Popcorn Classic All-Tournament team after leading the Hawkeyes in kills in each match. YEAGER S HARDWARE Senior libero Bethany Yeager earned the first Big Ten weekly honor of her career when she was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, Sept. 2. She helped the Hawkeyes accomplish a 3-0 mark and Chanticleer Invitational championship opening weekend. Yeager paced the team in digs in each match tallying 26 against Wofford, 30 against Youngstown State, and 23 against Coastal Carolina. Her 79 digs and 5.64 digs per set average top the Big Ten following week one. Yeager s award marks Iowa s first Defensive Player of the Week honor since Christina Meister received the nod in 2009. BIG TEN = NATIONAL POWER The Big Ten continues to boast several ranked teams in the AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll. In the most recent release, eight teams were represented. Penn State has a conference high No. 3 ranking followed by No. 7 Michigan. Others in the poll include: No. 12 Nebraska, No. 13 Ohio State, No. 14 Illinois, No. 15 Michigan State, No. 22 Purdue and No. 25 Wisconsin. GIANT SLAYERS The Hawkeyes have defeated a ranked team in four of Dingman s five seasons. Iowa will have plenty of opportunities to continue that trend, as nine of its 2013 opponents appear in the AVCA Top 25 poll. Iowa s top 25 victories since 2008 include: vs. No. 18 Wisconsin (3-0, 2008); vs. No. 18 Michigan State (3-0, 2009); vs. No. 16 Michigan (3-1, 2010); at No. 12 Purdue (3-0, 2012). 2013 Season Bests KILLS Team: 68 vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Player: 26, Alex Lovell vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Opponent: 58 at Valparaiso (9/7) ATTACK PERCENTAGE Team:.292 vs. Rhode Island (9/6) Player:.500, Alessandra Dietz vs. Wofford (8/30) Opponent:.227 at Valparaiso (9/7) ASSISTS Team: 65 vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Player: 37, Nikki Dailey vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Opponent: 58 at Valparaiso (9/7) SERVICE ACES Team: 8 vs. Eastern Michigan (9/7) Player: 3, four times, last vs. Eastern Michigan (9/7) Opponent: 8 vs. Wofford (8/30) DIGS Team: 97 vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Player: 30, Bethany Yeager vs. Youngstown State (8/31) Opponent: 81, at Coastal Carolina (8/31) TOTAL BLOCKS Team: 10, twice, last at Valparaiso (9/7) Player: 7, Alessandra Dietz, at Coastal Carolina (8/31) Opponent: 10 vs. Youngstown State (8/31)
