TEXAS TECH OPENS HOME SCHEDULE WITH LONESTAR SHOWDOWNAfter a 4-0 start to its season, Texas Tech opens its home schedule this weekend with the Lonestar Showdown as Texas-Pan American, San Jose State, and Northwestern State will all travel to Lubbock for the two-day tournament that begins Friday at the United Spirit Arena.

RED RAIDERS OFF TO BEST START SINCE 2003Texas Tech’s 4-0 performance last weekend at the Boston College Invitational marked the best start to a season since the Red Raiders opened with eight-straight victories in 2003. Tech’s longest winning streak to start a season in the NCAA era (1982-present) came in 1996 when the Red Raiders rolled off 15-straight victories en route to finishing 25-9 and earning a postseason selection. The Red Raiders started the 2011 campaign 13-1 overall with their only loss coming in the season opener at TCU.

RED RAIDERS IN HOME OPENERSTexas Tech has traditionally fared well in home openers, compiling a 29-7 record since 1975, including a 11-5 mark during the Big 12 era. The Red Raiders won their first season opener in three years in 2011, sweeping Central Arkansas in straight sets to open the Texas Tech Invitational. Tech last opened the home schedule against Texas-Pan American in 2004, topping the Broncs, 3-1, to start the Red Raider Classic.

TEXAS TECH IN HOME TOURNAMENTSIn addition to their success in home openers, the Red Raiders have also defended their home court well when hosting tournaments. Texas Tech, which hosted the Texas Tech Invitational last year for the first time since 2008, is 35-9 all-time during the Big 12 era in home tournaments at the United Spirit Arena. The Red Raiders swept through last year’s Texas Tech Invitational, defeating Central Arkansas (3-0), Northwestern State (3-0), and Morehead State (3-1).

THE TEXAS-PAN AMERICAN SERIESThe Red Raiders are 5-0 all-time against the Broncs after topping UTPA in straight sets during last year’s con-test in Edinburg. Texas Tech is 2-0 all-time when playing UTPA in Lubbock as the two teams have not played on the South Plains since the 2004 home opener where the Red Raiders took a 3-1 victory. The Red Raiders also swept UTPA in straight sets in the first-ever meeting between two schools on Sept. 5, 1999, in Lubbock.

THE SAN JOSE STATE SERIESTexas Tech is 0-2 all-time against the Spartans after falling in five sets on Nov. 15 last year in San Jose. The Red Raiders had previously lost to San Jose State, 3-1, on Sept. 2, 1998, in a neutral-site contest held at the Utah Tournament. This will mark the Spartans’ first-ever trip to Lubbock.

THE NORTHWESTERN STATE SERIESNorthwestern State is traveling to Lubbock for the second-straight season this weekend as the Demons were part of the Texas Tech Invitational a year ago. The Red Raiders, who were facing Northwestern State for the first time in school history, swept the Demons in straight sets in the Friday night contest.

UPCOMING SCHEDULEThe Red Raiders will close out a four-match homestand Monday with a 2 p.m. match against North Texas at the United Spirit Arena. From there, Tech will return to the road for its next seven matches with trips to the Montana Tournament (Sept. 7-8), Rice Invitational (Sept. 14-15), and a non-conference contest at Nevada (Sept. 19). The Red Raiders return to the United Spirit Arena Sept. 22 for their Big 12 opener against Kansas.

BRUMMITT EARNS BIG 12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK AFTER IMPRESSIVE DEBUTRachel Brummitt was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week Monday afternoon after earning MVP honors last weekend at the Boston College Invitational. The sophomore totaled 68 digs and eight aces from the libero position, which was the most among Big 12 players last weekend in both categories. The Plano, Texas native is the first Tech player to receive a conference weekly award since Tory Vaughan was also hon-ored as the defensive player of the week on Oct. 31 last year. Tech has now garnered four weekly awards under second-year head coach Don Flora.

PIPER, RUETTER NAMED TO BOSTON COLLEGE INVITATIONAL ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMAubree Piper and Emily Ruetter were both named to the Boston College Invitational all-tournament team last weekend after helping lead the Red Raiders to their first 4-0 start to a season since 2003. Piper was a dominating presence for the Red Raiders in the middle, finishing with 30 kills along with a team-high .397 hitting percentage to go along with 18 blocks. Ruetter, meanwhile, was Tech’s primary setter throughout the weekend, totaling 141 assists (8.81 per set) and two double-doubles after recording 32 digs.

RUETTER, STACY SEEING DOUBLEFreshmen Emily Ruetter and Meghan Stacy started their Texas Tech careers off on a good note last weekend, totaling two double-doubles each. Ruetter opened the weekend with 43 assists and 10 digs against Ford-ham before closing the tournament with a 37-assist and 11 dig performance against Boston College. Stacy was equally as impressive over the final two matches, totaling 14 kills and 16 digs against Siena and then 11 kills and 11 digs against Boston College. The two performances already mark the first time a Tech freshman has recorded a double-double since Breeann David did so on Sept. 26 last year at New Mexico.

FLORA GOES WITH YOUNG LINEUP IN BOSTONDon Flora certainly was not kidding when he said prior to the season that the Red Raiders would likely use a rotation composed primarily of freshmen and sophomores. The second-year head coach proved his point last weekend at the Boston College Invitational as the Red Raiders started at least four newcomers in every match, with the Binghamton and Boston College lineups including four freshmen and a pair of sophomores.

RED RAIDERS LOOK TO CONTINUE NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS UNDER FLORAIn only his first season, Don Flora was able to lead the Red Raiders to their best start to a season since 2000 when Tech went 13-1 over the first month with the only loss coming in the opener at TCU. The Red Raiders rolled off 13-straight victories from that point, marking the school’s longest winning streak since 1996. Tech will once again be looking for a similar performance against the non-conference slate this season after the Red Raiders combined to go 14-2 outside of league play a year ago. The Red Raiders finished just one win shy of .500 with a 15-17 record that marked the program’s most victories since 2001.

CAVE NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 TEAMMiara Cave was Texas Tech’s only honoree on the Big 12 Preseason Team that was announced prior to the season. The senior was one of 15 conference players honored in a vote by the league coaches after totaling 298 kills a year ago to go along with a .231 hitting percentage. The selection marked the third-straight season a Red Raider has been represented on the preseason team after Amanda Dowdy garnered the accolade the past two years.

NEW FACES HIGHLIGHT 2012 ROSTERPossibly the most noticeable feature of the 2012 version of the Red Raiders will be the amount of newcom-ers spread throughout the roster. Don Flora and his staff added nine freshmen to the roster in the offseason to go along with transfers Rachel Brummitt and Ciara Gibson. Brummitt transferred from Radford University while Gibson redshirted the 2011 season after playing her first two seasons at Kentucky State. This marks the second-straight season Flora has used a large recruiting class after having 12 newcomers a year ago.

CAVE, VAUGHAN RETURN FOR SENIOR SEASONTexas Tech seniors Miara Cave and Tory Vaughan will look to wrap their respective careers on a winning note in 2012. The two San Antonio natives have both been regulars in the Tech rotation since stepping foot on campus as freshmen in 2009. Since then, Cave has turned into one of the top right-sides in the Big 12 while Vaughan has played an important role as Tech’s libero over two seasons. Out of Tech’s 21-player roster, only Cave and Vaughan, along with junior Aubree Piper, have lettered more than one season.

TEXAS TECH RECORD WHEN...O’CANADAFor the first time since 2007, Texas Tech will boast a player from north of the border in freshman setter Emily Ruetter. One of the top setters throughout Canada the past four years, Ruetter arrives at Tech after lettering at Nelson High School all four seasons while also playing for several of the top club programs in the coun-try. The Burlington, Ontario native was a member of the 17-under Canada Selects team that won the 2011 national title before playing up on the 18-under division at the Ontario Provincials (equivalent to a state championship) where she was named the tournament MVP. Ruetter, who is expected to compete for Tech’s starting setter job, is the first Canadian-born player for Tech since current director of operations Amy Gandy in 2004-07.

TEXAS TECH SPORTS NEW LOOK IN 2012For the first time in recent memory, Texas Tech will sport a new look in 2012 as the Red Raiders will switch to long-sleeve uniforms. The Red Raiders will continue to have three color options in black, red, and white with all three made by Texas Tech’s official uniform provider, Under Armour. One other change to the uniform is across the front where the usual Double T logo has been replaced by the spelling of “Texas Tech.”

FLORA HAS RED RAIDERS MOVING UP AFTER ONLY ONE YEARDon Flora’s presence on the South Plains was quickly noticed a year ago when he led the Red Raiders, who were 4-25 overall in 2010, to a 15-17 record that marked the program’s most victories since 2001. Not a bad start for the first-year head coach. Tech’s 11-match win differential between the two seasons ranked third overall in the nation last year, falling only behind Samford (+15) and Tennessee-Martin (+13). Prior to his ar-rival, the Red Raiders had combined to win just 11 matches over the previous three seasons.

BIG 12 COMING OFF BANNER YEARThe Big 12 Conference is coming off possibly its best season in league history after sending seven teams to the postseason in 2011 and recording the nation’s top RPI (ratings percentage index). The conference fin-ished with five teams ranked in the top 30 of the RPI, including two in the top three with Texas ranked second and Iowa State a spot below. The league’s seven postseason selections marked the Big 12’s most since 2005 and the second-most nationally.

RED RAIDERS PICKED EIGHTH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLIn order to advance to the postseason for the first time since 2001, Texas Tech will have to do better than its preseason poll prediction as the Red Raiders were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team Big 12 Conference in a vote by the league coaches. Texas, which has won the conference title in four of the past five seasons, was a unanimous selection to defend its Big 12 crown from a year ago with Iowa State and Kansas State be-ing picked second and third, respectively. Oklahoma, Baylor, Kansas, and TCU rounded out the picks in front of Tech, while new league member West Virginia was the only school picked behind the Red Raiders in a unanimous selection.

Don FloraHead Coach 2nd Season

University of La Verne ‘90, ‘00Career Record: 288-76 (12) At Tech: 19-17 (2)

@CoachFloraTTU

In only one season as the head volleyball coach at Texas Tech, Don Flora has already revitalized a once storied program.

Flora was named the eighth volleyball coach in school history on Jan. 7, 2011, and immediately hit the ground running, leading the Red Raiders to a 15-17 record, the program’s most victories since 2001. It also marked the third-largest win differential in the country (+11) from the 2010 to 2011 season after inheriting a program that was just 4-25 the year before.

Not bad for a first-year head coach who inherited a program that had only won 11 matches over its previous three seasons combined. Flora led the Red Raiders to that total in only his second month.

Flora is 288-76 in 12-plus total seasons as a collegiate head coach as he remains one of the winningest active coaches with 10 years of experience at any level of NCAA play.

In his 12 seasons as a head coach, Flora’s only other losing season came during his inaugural campaign at the University of La Verne (Calif.) when the Leopards similarly finished just two matches below .500 with a 12-14 mark. Flora led La Verne to 20 or more wins in nine of his next 10 seasons.

The California native will look to do the same at Texas Tech as he enters the 2012 season, his second on the South Plains, with a young roster composed of 11 newcomers coming mainly from his first true recruiting class that spanned the Western Hemisphere as well as the state of Texas.

Flora and his staff traveled to Canada to sign setter Emily Ruetter and then reached the Midwest with the ad-dition of Brianna Grant out of Illinois and Meghan Stacy from Missouri. He also stayed close to home with the signing of Emily Ehrle from Crowley, Texas, who was the first of five other true freshmen to join the program.

Red Raider fans took notice in only his first year as Tech averaged more than 800 fans in 2011, around a 15 percent increase from the year before. Tech broke the 1,000 fan mark three times, including a season high 1,413 on Nov. 9 against No. 8 Texas that was the largest announced attendance since 1,468 fans saw the Red Raiders face top-ranked Nebraska.

Flora came to Tech following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at New Mexico State where the Aggies, consistently one of the top programs nationally, compiled a 38-22 record. Flora was responsible for recruiting activities, practice instruction and game strategy and was involved in the daily development of the overall program under head coach Mike Jordan.

La Verne posted at least 20 wins in nine-straight seasons beginning in 2000 as the Leopards claimed nine-straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) titles. During Flora’s tenure, the Leopards were 140-10 in SCIAC matches, boasting an impressive .933 winning percentage helped in part by five undefeated 14-0 campaigns in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008.

As the success kept building early in Flora’s tenure, so did the achievements at the national level. In only Flora’s fourth season, the Leopards wrapped a near-perfect 27-1 season with the 2001 NCAA Division III National Title, the second in school history.

The title run earned Flora the Division III National Coach of the Year honor by both the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and Volleyball Magazine. He was also named the AVCA West Region Coach of the Year, an award he was presented three more times following the 2003, 2005, and 2008 seasons.

With a national title under his belt, Flora’s success kept rolling as the Leopards eventually posted their first 30-win season in 2003, which began a streak of three-straight seasons where La Verne advanced to the NCAA Final Four. The Leopards posted a school-record 33 wins a season later.

The Leopards posted 27 wins in each of Flora’s final three seasons at the school, which culminated in another national title match appearance in 2008. Unlike 2001, however, La Verne was topped in the championship, falling to Emory in four sets.

Flora graduated with a degree in social sciences from La Verne in 1990 before later returning to the classroom to earn his masters in the Leadership and Management curriculum in 2000. Flora, a native of Covina, Calif., and his wife, Jeanne, currently reside in Lubbock with their two daughters, Annika and Alexis.
