TAYLOR MOTT HEAD COACH Fifth Season 358-237 career record Mississippi, 1996 Taylor Mott, who has more than 15 years of head coaching experience, begins her fifth season as Austin Peay s head volleyball coach. In her first season at Austin Peay, Mott led the Governors to a four-game improvement over the previous season. After opening the campaign with a 2-8 record, the Governors won 17 of their final 24 during the regular season. That included a 10-6 mark in OVC play, good for second place in the West Division, and a stretch of seven consecutive home wins. A balanced offensive attack saw two players record 400 kills in the same season (Nikki Doyle and Jada Stotts with 429 and 419 kills, respectively) for the first time since the 1999 campaign. Injuries dominated Mott s second season at Austin Peay as three players who were in the starting rotation on Day 1 outside hitter Jada Stotts, setter Cami Fields and outside hitter Calyn Hull missed significant time due to injuries. Those injuries led to another slow start in nonconference action (a 4-15 record), but Stotts and Fields returned in time to lead Austin Peay to a 9-7 OVC record and a secondstraight second-place finish in its division. The Governors advanced to the OVC tournament semifinals where they were up two sets on regular-season champion Morehead State before falling in five sets. Austin Peay got off to a better start in her third season, posting six wins in nonconference play. Included in that opening run was the Governors first-ever win against Tennessee a three-set sweep in Knoxville, Sept. 18. Austin Peay then got off to a quick start in OVC play, winning four straight to level their season mark. Yet injuries and inconsistent play ruled the season s remainder as only three studentathletes saw action in 100 or more sets. The Governors qualified for the OVC s postseason tournament for a third consecutive season but fell in the opening-round match. The 2015 season did not develop as planned and Mott was forced to utilize several lineups throughout the season ultimately nine different players started at least 10 matches and only two of those starting 30 matches or more. However, Austin Peay closed the season in impressive fashion, winning four of their final five matches, including two wins against OVC squads that reached post season play. Mott spent her previous 13 seasons at Flagler where she posted a 304-158 career mark, including 11 consecutive 20-win seasons and led the Saints to two NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances. She also helped lead the Flagler athletic department and through the transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II competition, serving as the assistant athletics director from 2004-06 and then as associate athletics director/senior woman administrator from 2006-11. While her six all-time conference Coach of the Year citations are impressive it is the honors her student-athletes obtained during her career that are staggering. She coached six All-Americans and 24 All-Region selections during her tenure at Flagler. In addition, Mott saw 37 players named to their respective all-conference teams with seven earning a major award from their conference. In the classroom, Mott had five players named NAIA Scholar-Athletes. In addition, 11 players received academic all-conference honors. Mott wrapped her Flagler career by putting her team through one of the program s toughest schedules with five nationally ranked teams dotting the regular-season schedule. Still the Saints posted a 31-7 record against that slate and clinched a share of their third consecutive regular-season title. Flagler rolled in the Peach Belt tournament, losing its only set in three matches in a championship-clinching victory against nationally-ranked Armstrong Atlantic.

After opening the campaign with four straight losses, the Saints went 36-5 the rest of the way, winning both the Peach Belt Conference regular-season and tournament titles, grabbing the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional title and reaching the Division II Final Four. Mott also coached outside hitter Katie Beale who was named an honorable mention selection to the Division II All-America team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Mott s 2010 Flagler squad showed that first foray into Division II competition wasn t a mirage, posting a 29-9 overall mark, winning both the Peach Belt Conference s regular-season and tournament titles again and reaching the Southeast Region s title game before bowing out of the Division II tournament. The Saints had another honorable mention AVCA All-American in middle blocker Meg Weathersby. Mott began her collegiate coaching career at Flagler in 1999 and three season s later led the team to a 26-17 record in 2001, earning her first Coach of the Year citation from the Florida Sun Conference. She followed that with a 22-12 campaign that saw the Saints finish third in the Florida Sun regular-season race. The Saints climb to the top of the Florida Sun ranks was completed with back-to-back titles in 2002 and 2003 with Mott earning Coach of the Year recognition each season. In their final season as an NAIA member, Mott led Flagler to a second place finish in the league race while posting a fifth consecutive 20-win season. Mott led Flagler through three nomadic seasons during the transition to the Division II level with her teams continuing their string of 20-win seasons against largely Division II schedules.
