The nine members of the Western Athletic Conference are committed to growing their athletic programs from good to great and from great to exemplary. In no time since the WAC’s founding in 1962, has the membership been so supportive of a league direction or idea.

On each campus, WAC schools are making great strides to improve both athletically and academi-cally. Whether that means better facilities, better academic support, or more financial and person-nel resources, all WAC schools are making new commitments to their athletic departments. What this means for prospective and current student-athletes is a concerted effort to make their college athletic experience more rewarding and fulfilling.

Play Up is not a slogan. It is a reminder and a promise to do the little things to get better each day. Whether that is working towards a personal goal, a team goal, or an institutional goal, Play Up is a league-wide commitment to get better. For some schools, the starting point of this improvement is higher than for other schools. Regardless of the starting point, each school is improving both academically and athletically.

As for the WAC staff, it is committed to cultivating success among its members, while also increas-ing exposure and revenue. Concurrently, it is also upgrading the college athletic experience for all of its student-athletes.

ACADEMIC: Boise State is the largest university in Idaho with over 19,000 students. As a metropolitan research university, more than 200 academic programs are offered within the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Social Sciences and Public Affairs. A Boise State educator has been named as the Idaho Professor of the Year 11 times since 1990 by the Carnegie Foundation.

ATHLETIC: Just B is a new branding campaign initiated this year by Boise State Athletics. The concept is based on promoting the core values of the entire athletic department, and ties in graphically with the Bronco font style of the letter “B”. Everything it means to be a Bronco is defined through the Just B campaign, with key phrases like B Proud, B True, B Committed, B Positive, B Champions inter-mixed with broadband, print, video and community related projects. The campaign also involves fan connection with a B There phase that encour-ages attendance and support at all Boise State events.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Soccer, Softball, Swimming & Diving, Tennis, Indoor/Outdoor Track & Field, Volleyball

ACADEMIC: Fresno State has gained positive regional, national and international attention for its commit-ment to growth and progress as it transforms itself into one of the nation’s premier regional public universi-ties. The most visible evidence on campus of Fresno State’s dynamic change is the renovation of the Henry Madden Library, already the academic cornerstone of the campus and the largest academic library between Sacramento and Los Angeles. Improvements will greatly expand the library’s ability to serve students, scholars and the general public and make room for more special collections.

ATHLETIC: Fresno State has won consecutive WAC Commissioner’s Cups thanks to excellent broad-based programs, five of which won WAC Championships in 2008-09: women’s soccer, women’s basketball, women’s tennis, softball and baseball. The Bulldog women’s tennis team won its eighth consecutive WAC title and ad-vanced to the NCAA sweet 16 for the third straight year. The Bulldog football team reached a bowl game for the ninth time in the last 10 years, making its first appearance in the New Mexico Bowl. Among the outstanding accomplishments of its student-athletes, baseball player Tom Mendonca was named an All-American, finalist for national player of the year and WAC Player of the Year. Two track and field athletes (Sharon Ayala and La-trisha Jordan) won All-America honors at the NCAA championships and Fresno State’s women’s doubles team of Renata Kucerkova and Anastasia Petukova were named the International Tennis Association (ITA) National Doubles Team of the Year.

Idaho ranks second among regional peers for enrolling new National Merit Scholars. Fall 2008 enrollment included 26 new National Merit Finalist Scholars – the top 1 percent of the nation’s high-school graduates – in the freshman class. More than 1,900 Idaho students enrolled in 87 service-learning courses and provided more than 100,000 hours of service during the 2008-09 academic year. That led to Idaho being named to the President’s Higher Education Com-munity Service Honor Roll for exemplary service efforts for the third year in a row.

ATHLETIC: The face of Vandal Athletics changes this fall with the replacement of the solid west wall of the landmark Kibbie Dome with translucent glass panels – the first of a phased remodel of the 35-year-old facility.

Conley and cross country/track and field athletes Allix Lee-Painter and Jonathan Marler earned the national recognition. Idaho women’s basketball coach Jon Newlee was chosen 2009 WAC Coach of the Year after lead-ing the Vandal women to the NCAA’s fifth-best turnaround last season.

SINCE 1962 In its 48th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions.

CONTINUED SUCCESS The WAC has experienced tremendous success. The WAC has sent a total of 27 teams to bowl games since 2001, including more than half of its teams in 2008 with a record-tying five teams. Boise State has won 88 football games since joining the conference, the second most in the nation during that time span (2001-08). The conference sent teams to back-to-back BCS games as Hawai‘i earned a bid to the 2008 Sugar Bowl following Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 26 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003 including Fresno State’s College World Series victory in 2008. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but three. Current WAC alums have made their presence felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship in 2003. In 2004, the United States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal with former Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung. Jeff Weaver (Fresno State) earned the win in the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series clinching victory in 2006. Quarterback Colt Brennan (Hawai‘i) finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, and in 2008, Natasha Kai (Hawai‘i) helped the United States to a gold medal in soccer at the Olympics in Beijing.

TELEVISION PRESENCE In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. An extension was signed in 2008 that guarantees over 300 regular season WAC contests and 45 championship events will be aired on the ESPN networks through the spring of 2017. The WAC also officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, gymnastics, softball and baseball.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A confer-ences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.

Since the WAC’s inception, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Loui-siana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew. The WAC has had just five commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present).

WAC CHAMPIONS Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are champion-ships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball.

The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the confer-ence’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

KARL BENSON

When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position. Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with the invitations of New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho a few years ago. Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA

Commissioner

Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl and New Mexico Bowl. In the summer of 2005, he implemented “Play Up” a new marketing campaign to improve the public and private perceptions of the WAC and its members through national, local and regional touch points. The conference officially added WAC.tv prior to the 2006-07 season, giving fans streaming video access to many of the postseason championships of the sports offered by the WAC. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecast of its basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the first in conference history. In 2008, Benson negotiated an extension with ESPN that gives the WAC over 300 regular season contests and 45 championship events that will be aired through the 2016-17 season.

WAC SAAC

THE VOICE OF THE STUDENT ATHLETE

How does the WAC generate feedback from its most valuable product, its student-athletes? Through the Western Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (also known as the WAC SAAC) which was established in 1998.

Since its implementation, the WAC SAAC has been an essential component in the conference’s governance structure as well as a strong voice for student-athletes’ well-being at all levels (e.g., institutional, conference and national). It provides recommendations and positions on specific conference and NCAA proposed legislation, and it addresses national issues that may have an effect on the well-being of all student-athletes. In addition, its members provide recommendations for the eighteen WAC championships in order to enhance the student-athlete experience for all sports. Another objective which the committee constantly strives to obtain is to help strengthen and improve the communication and relationships among athletes, campus administrators and coaches.

On the national stage, the WAC SAAC selects one of its committee members to serve as its representative on the NCAA SAAC, which includes all of the Division I conferences.

The WAC SAAC is a proactive committee and is making a very positive impact within the WAC membership. Annually, each member institution appoints two student-athletes from its own campus SAAC to serve on the conference committee. To conduct business, the committee has two in-person meetings during the year and schedules monthly teleconference calls during the academic year.

As part of the WAC SAAC Spring meeting, the committee conducts a community service outreach project within the host member institution’s local area. Past projects have included the following: sports camp and clinic for underprivileged children, visiting local Boys and Girls Clubs, visiting Children’s Hospitals and homeless shelters and neighborhood house painting. Taking a leadership role in conducting community projects is part of the WAC SAAC’s goals and objectives.

If you have any questions relative to the WAC SAAC or its activities, please contact Anthony Archbald in the conference office.

VOLLEYBALL NOTES

2009 MAJOR RULES CHANGES

Warm-Up AreaThe location of the warm-up area will be changed to 1.75 meters (70 inches) from the court and service area. Rationale: The previous language required the warm-up area to be 2 meters from the court and service area. The extension of the attack line ends 1.75 meters from the court, providing a standard visible mark that substitutes and referees can use to determine the limit of the warm-up area. The same measure is used to designate the area where coaches may stand during play, giving a consistent limit to non-playing team members.

CoachesCoaches may make requests for substitutions, timeouts, or lineup checks from anywhere in the bench area, including the warm-up area. It re-mains the coach’s responsibility to communicate the request clearly to the second referee, regardless of the coach’s location at the time of the request. Rationale: The previous rule language required the coach to be near the substitution zone to make requests. Coaches are frequently communicating with players or other coaches on the bench or in the warm-up area when a request is made. As long as the coach’s request is clearly communicated to the referees, it should be honored.

TimeoutBy agreement of both coaches, the length of all timeouts in a non-broad-cast match may be extended from the 60-second default length to the length of a media timeout (75 seconds to 90 seconds). If both coaches do not agree to an extended length, the default of 60 seconds will be used. Rationale: Teams may opt for consistency in timeout length for all matches, both broadcast and non-broadcast.

Protest ProcedureAdditional resources may be used if needed by the referees or tourna-ment protest committee in the case of a score discrepancy that results in a protest. In addition to a review of the scoresheet for errors and consultation with all assigned referees and scorekeepers (including the alternate official if one has been assigned), the referees or protest committee may also review information available from an official stat-istician if an electronic play-by-play system is in use. If that resource is not available, the referees may use information from the teams’ bench statisticians or scorekeepers, provided both are in agreement as to the score and/or sequence of events. Rationale: The previous rule language stated that the only information available to the referees in resolving a score discrepancy was the scoresheet itself and first-hand knowledge of the officials. In many cases, current technology provides quick access to accurate information that may assist the officials get the correct score recorded without significant delay.

Tracking the LiberoThe assistant scorekeeper’s (libero tracker’s) duties will be expanded to include tracking the number of substitutions and the player positions.

LOOKING BACK AT 2008

FIVE WAC PLAYERS EARN ALL-AMERICA HONORS Five WAC volleyball players earned All-America honors by the Ameri-can Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Hawai‘i outside hitter Jamie Houston was a second-team honoree, while teammate Kanani Daniel-son was a third-team selection. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Wahine’s Aneli Cubi-Otineru and Dani Mafua, and New Mexico State’s Krystal Torres were honorable mention honorees.

Houston earns second-team honors after leading her team to the NCAA Regional Finals. She averaged 4.05 kills, 1.78 digs and 0.75 blocks per set and posted 10 or more kills in 25 matches this season. She posted five double-doubles on the season, was named to three all-tournament teams and was MVP of two. This is Houston’s second time to be honored as an All-American, as she was a third-team selection as a sophomore.

One of just two freshmen on the All-America teams, Danielson averaged 3.02 kills and 2.91 digs per set. The West Region Freshman of the Year, she ranked seventh in the WAC in both hitting percentage and kills, and ninth in digs. Danielson had a team-best eight double-doubles and was named to three all-tournament teams during her rookie campaign.

Cubi-Otineru averaged 2.41 kills and 2.27 digs per set. She ranked sec-ond in the WAC with 0.32 service aces per set and 10th with a .268 hit-ting percentage. She had five double-doubles on the season.

Mafua led the WAC with 11.20 assists per set and guided the Rainbow Wahine to a .283 hitting percentage on the season. She had 30 or more assists in 21 matches this season, 40 or more assists in 12 matches and 50 or more assists in six matches.

Torres led the Aggies to their first-ever NCAA Tournament win with 4.41 digs per set. She had 10 or more digs in 32 of 34 matches and had 20 or more digs seven times.

NINE WAC PLAYERS EARN ALL-REGION HONORSHawai‘i’s Aneli Cubi-Otineru, Jamie Houston and Dani Mafua, and New Mexico State’s Krystal Torres were named to the American Vol-leyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-West Region team. In addition, Hawai‘i’s Kanani Danielson was named West Region Freshman of the Year and was an All-West Region honorable mention honoree. Joining her as honorable mention selections were Amber Kaufman of Hawai‘i, and Amber Simpson and Lindsey Yon of New Mexico State.

HAWAI‘I FALLS IN NCAA REGIONAL FINALAfter defeating Purdue in the Sweet 16, the Rainbow Wahine advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals, where they fell to No. 2 Stanford in three sets.

n The Broncos will be led by first-year head coach Shawn Garus, who came to Boise State from UNC-Greensboro.

n The top two hitters for the Broncos from the 2008 season - Sadie Maughan and Alisha King - return as juniors. Maughan tallied 215 kills in 2008, while King had 211.

n King and Lauren Hamm, the team’s top servers in 2008, return for the 2009 season. Each racked up 24 aces last season.

n Maughan is the top returner in blocks, notching 104 total blocks last season.

n Hamm returns as the team’s top digs recorder, tallying 356 last season.

n Setters Breann Nesselhuf and Kirsten Duren will likely share time in the setters position.

n The Broncos said goodbye to seven players from last year’s roster, welcome four additions in transfers and freshmen, and could had a few more in walk-ons, producing a nearly new roster.

LOUISIANA TECH COACHING STAFF

nMatt Sonnichsen enters his second season as Louisiana Tech’s head coach.

n Before arriving at Tech, Sonnichsen recorded a 19-9 record in his first and only season at Newberry, compiling a 7-7 record in the South Atlantic Conference. The previous year, the Indians went 4-30.

n Prior to Newberry, he was an assistant at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, where he coached the 2006 season under his father, Tom.

n Sonnichsen was also the top assistant at UC Santa Barbara, where he was responsible for team training, international student-athlete recruitment and team travel.

n Sonnichsen’s longest tenure as head coach came during his eight seasons at Tulsa, where the team had its first winning season in more than 20 years in 2000 and finished with 20 or more wins three times during his stay. His team finished in second place in the WAC Eastern Division in 2004 and earned a third-place finish in Conference USA in 2005.

n In the winter of 2006, Sonnichsen was the first coach from the USA to coach a team in the Puerto Rican Women’s Professional Volleyball League.

n Sonnichsen earned a bachelor of science degree in economics from UCLA in 1994. While there, he was a member of two national champion teams, playing from 1986-89. He was a three-time All-American and was a NCAA all-tournament selection from 1987-89.

n As a professional volleyball player, he played for the USA National Team from 1990-91, playing in the Goodwill Games in Seattle, Wash. Sonnichsen also played in the Swiss Professional League with two different clubs, LUC Lausanne and MTV Nafels.

n Last season, New Mexico State made it to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season and the fifth time in six years. The Aggies picked up their first-ever NCAA Tourna-ment win, defeating Saint Mary’s in four sets (22-25, 25-16, 25-21-25-15).

n The Aggies earned a share of the WAC regular-season title after finishing with a 15-1 mark in conference play. It was the first WAC title for the team since joining the WAC in 2005. NM State was the only WAC team to defeat Hawai’i in 2008, as the Aggies swept then-No. 6 Hawai’i in Honolulu at the Stan Sherriff Center on Oct. 12.

n NMSU placed five players on the all-WAC teams in 2008. Krista Altermatt, Krystal Torres, Amber Simpson and Lindsey Yon earned first team all-WAC honors, while freshman Jennah DeVries earned all-freshman honors. Mike Jordan was named 2008 WAC Coach of the Year.

n NM State led the WAC in opponent hitting percentage (.134), and was second in hitting percentage (.216) assists (12.43), kills (13.38), blocks (2.61), digs (14.31) and service aces (1.31).

n It was the seventh-straight year for New Mexico State to get at least 20 wins in a season after registering 26 wins last year. The Aggies have not had a losing season since 2000.

n The Aggies ranked 15th in the nation for attendance last season with an average home attendance of 1,634 over 14 matches.

NEW MEXICO STATE STATE COACHING STAFF

nMike Jordan earned WAC Coach of the Year honors in 2005, 2006 and 2008. He also earned two conference Coach of the Year awards with the Sun Belt Conference (2003 and 2004).

n He ranks No. 29 among active Division I coaches nationally in win-ning percentage at .700 (247-106).

n Jordan is the only Aggie head coach to coach AVCA all-Americans, with five different players earning the honor.

n He is the only NM State head coach to lead his team to the NCAA tournament, which he has done five times (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008). The Aggies won their first ever NCAA Tournament match Dec. 5, 2008 over St. Mary’s College in Berkley, Calif.

n NM State has had 15 first-team all-WAC selections, five second-team selections, two all-freshman team selections and a WAC Freshman of the Year. He also has had 11 all-tournament selections since the Aggies began playing in the WAC in 2005.

n Jordan has the most wins of any Aggie head coach with 247. Just three shy of 250, he picked up win No. 200 when the Aggies de-feated Houston 3-1 at the Houston Tournament in Houston, Texas on Sept. 2, 2007.

n He is the only Aggie head coach to ever lead his team to a confer-ence title as he has won titles in both the Sun Belt Conference and WAC. NM State is the first team to either share or hold the WAC title since BYU and Hawai‘i shared the Pacific Division title in 1998.

n Jordan guided the Aggies to their first-ever win over nationally-ranked Hawai’i on Oct. 2, 2007, which snapped the Rainbow Wa-hine’s 114-match conference win streak.

n Head coach Oscar Crespo returns for his third season at the helm of the Spartans.

n Junior outside hitter Brianna Amian returns after receiving second team all-WAC honors last year. She averaged 2.45 kills, 1.57 digs and 0.51 blocks per set.

n Senior Kristal Tsukano is only the sixth Spartan in school history to record 1,000 or more career digs. She enters the season with 1,037 digs and needs just two to move into fifth place and 15 to move into third place on the San Jose State career dig list.

n Tsukano was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VIII third team last fall. She is a biological science major and a three-time Academic all-WAC selection.

n The Spartans have eight newcomers this year, including high school teammates for the second consecutive season.
