2011 MADONNA VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE4

For Madonna University Head VolleyballCoach Jerry Abraham, the 25th season ofCrusaders volleyball could go from being“Silver” into "Gold" one as the NAIA andMadonna Athletics Hall of Fame member hasa bright outlook for 2011.

"I just think we're confident and have the abil-ity to fill some spots that we lost,'' Abrahamsaid. "It all depends on us bringing in the newkids, having them mesh fast and blending inwith the veterans and get this thing goingright away. But the thing I like about it is thatwe have excellent depth defensively. We havea good blend of veteran returners, along witha talented group of newcomers. I thinkthey've mesh in short preseason that we'vehad so far and you can see the veteran kidsare bringing the younger ones along. We hada great spring and a great summer condition-ing program.''

Abraham will lean on his three senior captains- Karie Altman, Megan Fricke and AmandaKoszela - to lead the the Crusaders back to thetop of the Wolverine-Hoosier AthleticConference and the NAIA NationalTournament.

Altman returns after earning All-WHAC firstteam and honorable mention All-Americahonors on the court and Academic All-America honors in the classroom. The St.Frances Cabrini product led the Crusaderswith 488 kills and 126 total blocks in what

proved to be a breakout season for the 6-0middle hitter who will be the Crusaders' "goto player" according to Abraham.

Fricke - a selection to the WHAC's Champions of Character team as a junior - returns afterposting 436 kills a year ago, the third most onthe squad while also ranking third on theteam with 416 digs. The 5-9 outside hitter iscoming off of a knee injury suffered duringthe spring season but has returned to herform early in preseason practice and will onceagain be a factor for MU on both sides of theball.

Rounding out the senior class is the lone fifth-year senior on the squad in Koszela. MU'sstarting Libero in each of the last two seasons,Koszela earned All-WHAC first team honors in2010 after posting a team-best 586 digs.Abraham will look to Koszela to run theCrusader defense again this season.

Fricke is not the only player dealing with aknee injury as redshirt sophomore NastijaSeremetjeva was lost for the season after justfour matches with a torn anterior cruciate lig-ament suffered in the Michigan-DearbornEarly Bird Classic. In her four matches a yearago Seremetjeva posted 50 kills to go alongwith three blocks in earning all-tournamentteam honors.

"I think the key to this season is an old cliché,''Abraham said. "We have to stay healthy in acouple of spots. Megan hurt her knee in thespring and Nastija is also coming off a kneeinjury, but both are strong. She (Seremetjeva)is a powerful outside-hitter who we trulymissed last year. She was instrumental in ouroffensive plans last year and is a terminatingtype of attack player. She hits hard.''

The Crusaders' other Latvian import alsoreturns as junior Nastija Baranovska is backafter a sophomore campaign that saw the 6-0middle hitter post 210 kills to go along with 68total blocks and 18 service aces.

Also back in the fold this season are a trio of sophomores in Emilie Freeman, Lauren Moraand Miranda Sechler. Sechler saw time as astarter last season and led her classmates with115 kills and 43 total blocks, landing a spot onthe WHAC's all-freshman team.

The 6-3 Freeman may have the biggest impactthis season according to Abraham.

"She's made tremendous progress and wehope she's an impact player on the block orattack,'' Abraham said. "We're counting onEmilie for a big second year. She hits hard, andwith her size, provides a big block up front.''

Quarterbacking the Crusaders' offense in 2011will be redshirt sophomore Evia Prieditis. As a

freshman last season Prieditis earned theWHAC's Setter of the Year and Freshman of theYear trophies after leading the league andranking fourth nationally with 11.47 assistsper set.

Abraham brought in six newcomers for 2011to add both depth and talent , led by 5-10 out-side hitter Samantha Geile who took herFruitport High School side to the MHSAA statetitle last fall.

"She's a strong kid who can play anywhere onthe front row,'' Abraham said. "Samantha has agood chance to compete as a starter. She hitsthe ball and is a feisty performer. She's a bluecollar player.''

Joining Geile up front is fellow freshman KaylaVogel, a 5-11 outside and middle hitter fromHastings and junior college transfer TaylorDziewit who earned All-Region XII honors atSt. Clair Country Community College the lasttwo seasons.

"Taylor can play the left or the right side,''Abraham said. "She has a fabulous jump, greatarm swing with a big attack. She can play allthe way around and has the ability to start.She also has that two years (of college) experi-ence.''

The back row also saw a trio of new faces withthe additions of defensive specialists CassieCastro from Saline High School, Roxy Duzeyfrom Sterling Heights High School andAmanda Obrycki from St. Frances Cabrini.

"They're all around 5-4 or 5-5, all fast and tal-ented,'' the MU coach said. "They were themost valuable players on their high schoolteams and all have the ability to play defen-sively. We have more depth on defense, nodoubt.''

MU will try and unseat Indiana Tech as thedefending WHAC playoff champion under anew scheduling format.

"Last year was probably the best conferencefrom top-to-bottom since I've been here as faras overall talent,'' Abraham said. "It shouldeven be better this year honestly. It's going tobe really competitive. We only play everybodyone time. The new format I'm not in favor of -I'm here to say. We're playing Indiana Tech onthe road and don't get a chance to play themat home. We had to pick up more non-confer-ence games and add one more tournament.We beefed up our schedule and it's going tobe more competitive. It's lots of volleyball, butI think we'll be ready for it.''

Eight teams the Crusaders will play this seasonadvanced the NAIA National Tournament lastseason.

Following the home opener on August 24against St. Francis, the Crusaders travel back-to-back weekends for the Michigan-DearbornEarly Bird Classic before heading to DaytonaBeach, Fla., for the Embry-Riddle Labor DayClassic.

The Crusaders once again host a pair of hometournaments including the 12th annual JulieMartin Memorial Classic the first weekend ofclasses, Sept. 9-10. The two-day event - whichis named in honor of the former Crusader All-American who succumbed to cancer shortlyafter graduating from the University - featuresa matchup of coach and player as new IllinoisTech coach and former MU All-AmericanJacqui Gatt takes on her former coach inAbraham and her alma mater in Madonna toclose night one of the event that also featuresDaemen, Rochester and Walsh.

October 21 and 22 welcomes the annualCrusader Classic which brings Bellevue,Davenport, Malone and SCAD Savannah tothe Activities Center. The Crusaders close theregular season at Indiana Tech on Nov. 2before the annual WHAC Championshipbegins on campus sites November 4.

n 2002 MadonnaUniversity established theJulie Martin MemorialScholarship to honor thememory of former

Madonna volleyball student-athlete andgraduate, Julie Martin. Unfortunately,Julie was taken from us in late August,2000, a victim of cancer. The scholarship isannually awarded to a MadonnaUniversity student-athlete who bestexemplifies the characteristics that Juliedid: Selflessness, dedication to your teamand academics.

At this point in time, the fund is able to provide a partial scholarship to astudent-athlete, however, the ultimate goal is to provide a deserving stu-dent-athlete with a full scholarship to attend Madonna University.Therefore, our fund raising efforts are ongoing!

Julie was a star in every sense of the word. She came to Madonna a shy,introverted freshman and left a well established, confident woman. Alongthe way, she also made her mark on Madonna University and, especially, onher teammates and friends.

As a player, Julie was second to none. She dominated the net in a way notmany players can at the collegiate level. She worked hard in every facet ofthe game to develop her conditioning, her blocking and her hitting. Herwork helped Madonna to three NAIA National Tournaments in her four yearcareer. In 1996 she was named a second team All-American.

While her volleyball accomplishments are impressive, they pale comparedto the person and friend she was. Every one of us who had the pleasure toknow Julie remembers a wonderful human being. She was, quite simply, asnice and as good as they come. No fancy words are needed to describe her.She was who she was. She put on no false fronts-no phoniness. Julie wasJulie. She affected more lives in her short stay with us than most do in a life-time. Though her physical presence may no longer be in the gym, JulieMartin will always be there. Every time we enter the gym, Julie is in ourhearts and assuredly in someone's thoughts. Madonna volleyball has neverhad a better member to its family.

The memorial scholarship fund continues to remind all of us that life isshort. More importantly, hopefully it will force us to live life like Julie Martin.She was the perfect role model for living life. Simple. Sweet. Honest.Sincere. It was so simple for her to be that way. At least she sure made itseem simple. This is, perhaps, the lesson we all should learn from our friend.

Julie will be missed. But, she will be forever in the hearts of MadonnaUniversity and Madonna volleyball.

HEAD COACH JERRY ABRAHAM

Jerry Abraham has set the absolute standard for how to build a women's volley-ball program from scratch. The 2005 American Volleyball Coaches AssociationNational Coach of the Year and 2004 National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics Hall of Fame inductee has led the Crusaders to 12 Wolverine-HoosierAthletic Conference titles in the last 14 years, 11 national tournament appear-ances, including a pair of national semi-final appearances in 2002 and 2005. Theonly head coach Madonna University has had, Abraham brings a 940-244 recordinto his and the program's 25th season in 2011.

Abraham has built the program literally from the ground up. In his 24 years atthe helm the Crusaders have become the perennial Wolverine-Hoosier AthleticConference favorite and a national power. Abraham currently sits second all-time in the NAIA in wins with his 940, just 60 triumphs away from becoming amember of the ultra-exclusive 1,000-win club.

Abraham's success can be summed up by the events of 2004 when he wasinducted into two separate Halls of Fame in the same year. In September 2004,Abraham became the lone member inducted into the inaugural class of thenewly established Madonna Athletics Hall of Fame. As part of a surprise ceremo-ny at the annual student-athlete convocation held at Madonna, Abraham waspresented with the honor.

The athletic department at Madonna inducted Abraham on short notice to coin-cide with his induction into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics(NAIA) Hall of Fame in December. Abraham was recognized by the NAIA in theCoaches Category as the then-third winningest NAIA volleyball coach all-time.He was inducted as part of the 2004 National Championship banquet held justprior to the National Tournament in San Diego, California.

Abraham directs the Madonna University volleyball program with a quiet yetreassuring confidence that is the unmistakable life blood of one of the nation'smost successful programs. It is a confidence not gleaned from the shine ofnumerous trophies and accolades bestowed upon the coach and the program,though no one would question if it was. In 24 seasons at Madonna Abraham hascollected wins at a staggering pace.

Never having posted less than 29 wins in a season, he earned his 900th careervictory October 9, 2009, with a win against Pikeville (becoming only the secondNAIA coach to reach the milestone) and has firmly entrenched the Crusadersamong the elite programs in the nation.

Abraham does not reflect on past successes. "Fans can get spoiled very quicklyin athletics and that's a problem," Abraham said. "It's not easy to be successful inanything when people get accustomed to specific results, it sometimes loses itseffect on the players and they forget what it really takes to succeed and howimportant the journey really should be to their development."

Instead, Abraham addresses each new team and season on its own terms andhis confidence lies in the ability and work ethic of his current players and coach-ing staff.

"I'm not much of a believer in predicting a team's level of success," said Abraham.

"I can only state that we're going to do our best. If we're good enough to winmatches then we're going to win matches, but if we lose it's not going to bebecause we didn't work hard and it's not going to be because we rested on ourprogram's previous laurels."

For a good example of this statement, look no further than the 2003 season.Following the 2002 run to the "Final Four" the Crusaders had to deal with theloss of a pair of All-Americans, only to return to San Diego and a spot in theNational Quarterfinals. The 2003 season saw Madonna capture its second-con-secutive perfect WHAC regular season (and seventh straight conference title),becoming the first team in conference history to pull off the feat. In addition, the2003 Crusaders extended their home winning streak to 33 straight games(before falling to Cornerstone in the WHAC tournament), eclipsing the previousstandard set from 1991-92.

During the first 24 seasons of Madonna volleyball the team has never finishedbelow .500 and has averaged nearly 43 wins per year. Abraham has amassed 940wins and a .795 career winning percentage. Under his watch 11 Crusader squads('93, '95, '96, '00, '02, '03, '04, '05 ,'06, '07 and '08) have advanced to the NAIANational Championship Tournament. Additionally, Madonna has been ranked inthe NAIA Top 25 at some point during every season since 1993.

While the team's goals are the most important to Abraham and his staff, histeams have seen their fare share of individual accolades as a result of success.Abraham's teams have produced 12 NAIA first team All-Americans, 13 secondteam All-Americans, five third team All-Americans and 15 honorable mentionAll-Americans. Also, Crusader volleyball players have been named NAIA All-America Scholar-Athletes 35 times in Abraham's career. In addition, two ofAbraham's student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-American hon-ors, the highest academic and athletic honor a student-athlete can earn.

Abraham's philosophy of a Madonna Volleyball family is readily apparent in thecontinued involvement of former players. Coach Abraham has built a solid pro-gram both on and off the court.

Madonna joined the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) in 1997and Abraham promptly guided his squad to both the conference regular seasonand playoff championships in 1997 and 1998.

The Crusaders again won the regular season championship in 1999 before drop-ping their first-ever WHAC postseason match. Responding to this adversity, theCrusaders rebounded to win both the WHAC regular-season and tournamenttitles again in 2000. The next season saw the Crusaders take the regular seasontitle before capturing the regular season and tournament titles in 2002 en routeto the program's first ever NAIA Final Four berth.

2011 MADONNA VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE 9

The most successful season yet came in 2005 when Abraham guided his team toa 48-2 record and another berth in the NAIA Final Four. The Crusaders advancedto the NAIA national semi-finals, falling to eventual National ChampionCalifornia Baptist in five games, but finished the season as the third best team inthe country. The 2005 sweep of the regular season and WHAC tournament titleswas the second in a streak of five straight seasons that MU has won both the reg-ular season and tournament crowns.

In 12 of the first 14 seasons the Crusaders have been WHAC members, Abrahamguided his troops to an outright or shared conference championship. TheCrusaders are 159-14 in regular season WHAC play and have dropped just fourconference postseason matches. In 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006, Abraham'stroops pulled off one of the most impressive runs in WHAC history, not losing asingle set en route to perfect conference seasons.

Abraham has been named NAIA District 23 Coach-of-the-Year three times, GreatLakes Sectional Coach-of-the-Year twice, WHAC Coach-of-the-Year four andGreat Lakes Region Coach-of-the-Year twice and has added NAIA Region VIIICoach-of-the-Year honors five times as well. Additionally, in 1994 Abraham tookover the softball program at Madonna and led the Crusaders to the NAIA WorldSeries - meaning he took two separate teams to the NAIA National Tournamentduring the same academic year.

Prior to his days at Madonna, Abraham compiled a 270-70 record at BishopBorgess High School in Redford, Michigan. His Borgess teams won five districttitles, three regional crowns, three Catholic League championships and finishedClass A state runner-up in 1986 and Class B state runner-up in 1988. He has beennamed to the Borgess High School Hall of Fame as well as the Detroit CatholicLeague Hall of Fame.

Abraham earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Eastern Michigan University(1976) with a major in Physical Education, a minor in English and Health Scienceand an Elementary Teaching Certificate. He went on to earn his master's degreein Guidance and Counseling, also from EMU. Currently, Abraham is a high schoolguidance counselor at Truman High in Taylor.

Jacqui Gatt - Former MU All-American and current Illinois Tech Head Coach“Coach’s passion and love for the game is contagious. There is a reason why his teamsare always so successful. He promotes not only winning and being competitive, but healso shows you the fun and enjoyment in sports. After playing four years for him nowI’m a head coach myself. I constantly catch myself saying and doing things the way heused to do them. I guess you can say that I’ve had the opportunity to learn from thebest and I’m taking full advantage of it.”

Ed Tolentino - Former MU Assistant and current Georgia Tech Assistant Coach"Coach Abraham is a person of high quality and has a unique ability to inspire the bestout of his athletes that allow him to. He is a staple in the volleyball community and hascreated a culture at Madonna that other coaches work to recreate for their own pro-grams. Coach Abraham has established a high standard that elite programs envy andhas always taught his teams to respect the legacy that his prior teams have set and con-tinues to push his new players to raise the bar. A true sign of excellence. I am proud tosay that I have worked for Coach Abraham and I wish him continued success."

Candace Moats - Indiana Wesleyan University"As a rival coach, I have faced Coach Abraham many times across the court, and,whether my team has beaten his, or his team has emerged victorious (which is mostoften the case), my opinion of Coach Abraham has remained the same, he has been andcontinues to be a professional of the highest caliber, a man of honor, and an excellentcoach. When you play against Coach Abraham, you know three things: You will be fac-ing a well-trained, cohesive unit; you will be facing a team that is fired-up with enthusi-asm and the will to win; and, you will be facing a team that plays hard, but plays withfairness, integrity, and sportsmanship. These are the characteristics of any team thatCoach Abraham coaches, and they are the marks of the man himself. It is an honor tocall him one of my peers.

Dave Moody - Dickinson State University"Jerry and his devoted staff gets talented area kids to figure out where Livonia,Michigan, is actually located. The rest (as history details) takes care of itself."

Hall of Fame Coach - Stew McDole"Professional, thoughtful, intense and all with a ready smile. Jerry has out traveled andoutplayed most of the NAIA and done so consistently over a 20-year span. His commit-ment to our game and his institution are consistently revealed through the quality of histeams and their penchant for success. Jerry is a true "Hall of Famer" who brings creditto us all."

Brenda Williams - Olivet Nazarene University“You always know when you go up against Jerry's teams you are going up against a verystrong, athletic team with great volleyball skills that are coming at you on all cylinders.You not only have to prepare for his team but also Jerry's ability to motivate his playersto pick it up a notch when they need it most."

Susan Clements - NCAA Division I Niagara/Formerly of Georgetown College“Jerry is truly a great competitor. You know his team is always well prepared and readyto compete. He has built that program into a national power house and we enjoymatching up with them every year. It has become a rivalry for our girls. Jerry representseverything a coach stands for! He has integrity, character, and morals which is hard tofind today."

2011 MADONNA VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE10

Jerry Abraham has taken Madonna from the region-ally competitive level to that of an NAIA power sincebecoming the program’s first coach in 1987. Thedevelopment has been complete and successfulbecause of excellent talent and an equally soundmethod.

Following is “The Abraham Coaching Philosophy:”

The Coach’s Role

“I believe the coach has numerous roles that requireconstant review and attention, especially at thesmall college level.”

“First, and foremost, is the recruitment of qualitystudent-athletes.

With effective coaching, student-athletes becomethe real key to a team’s success.”

“Secondly, we as a staff have to relate to the playerswhat we feel is important for their growth and suc-cess. All the knowledge in the world will be uselessif we can’t prepare our team for competition. We’veshown this to be one of our strengths. I have greatconfidence in our staff to do whatever it takes tohelp the players improve and pursue their dreams.”

“Third, we have to prepare the team both physicallyand mentally. The physical preparation is easy, asthe entire Madonna environment encourages thepursuit of excellence both on and off the court. Themental aspect of our players’ development is one ofthe areas that I believe we are very strong in.”

“Certainly our time in the WHAC has demonstratedto us the importance of making sure that the play-ers are aware of what is going to be expected in aconference this strong. It’s been one of thestrongest conference’s and region for some time,and they have to be prepared to deal with that.”

“I contend the best way to see where our team isand where we aspire to be, is to play the nation’sbest teams. Our administration has allowed us totruly compete annually for the national champi-onship.”

“I think our role here is to attract the type of playerthat wants to be at Madonna, understands what weare about and knows what it will take to fit into ourprogram. I don’t want to be in the position wherewe are going to have to be saying one thing to geta player interested in Madonna and then changeour story once the athlete arrives on campus. I aminterested in people who are willing to be up frontin what they see in their development and what wecan do to help them succeed.”

Recruiting

“Recruiting seems so intense now and so difficultbecause of money issues and other schools that aregoing after the same players. We are competingagainst Division I teams, not to mention the DivisionII, III and other NAIA schools. We look for kids thatare going to stay for four years. We look for wellrounded student-athletes that are going to get bet-ter in their time here and want to work at gettingbetter. You have to try to bring in talented players,

but you have to consider character and bring ingood kids in the process.”

Fundamentals

“Fundamentals are key. I think it’s a tedious process,but you need to spend a lot of time on them. We tryto recruit student-athletes that are great volleyballplayers but the game always comes down to funda-mentals. I will not sacrifice the time necessary todevelop a strong foundation. This is where a team'sdiscipline and confidence is first introduced anddeveloped. Our commitment to each team is forevery one of our players to be challenged tobecome the best they can be every day. I know ourplayers are constantly improving their game here.We constantly drive it into our players during thepreseason. Volleyball is a six-faceted game andeach facet starts with fundamentals.”

Team Play

“Team play really deals with volleyball being theultimate team sport. The greatest thing you can talkabout is the opportunity for a team to compete fora national championship. You must communicateand sacrifice to be successful. All the players mustpossess a wide variety of skills and be willing andable to play together. My approach is to select thebest combination of players who will play togetherand at the same time seek to fulfill their own rolesand goals.”

“The team that is willing to emphasize the pursuit ofexcellence at its own personal expense is the teamthat most often succeeds. Our success over theyears, where we have won our conference andadvanced to the national quarterfinal and semifinalmatches, continues to reinforce those beliefs.”

Team Defense

“Team defense is one of the aspects of coachingthat I really enjoy. It has always been one of the sta-ples of our program. The pursuit of the ball in agame can only occur through preparation and rep-etition. I believe that everyone in the program hasto rally around certain concepts. At Madonna, weplay hard, controlled defense, which means everyplayer pursues every ball or they are taken out. Ibelieve if you train hard, then the game itself beginsto be easy. If a player starts making decisions onwhat ball they think they can get and what theythink is somebody else’s ball, that’s when we try tomake some adjustment and get someone elseinvolved in the play. If you don’t have defense youdon't have a good pass. If you don’t have a goodpass, you don’t have a good set. If you don’t have agood set, you don’t have a good shot. Defensestarts it all.”

The Student Athlete

“The term student-athlete is a very valid one here atMadonna and in the WHAC. We recruit not onlyquality athletes, but quality students as well. Thereis no question in my mind that the well roundedindividual will be better prepared to deal with thenumerous challenges faced in life. The programsavailable at Madonna are geared for success. Theopportunity to pursue your potential, both academ-ically and athletically, is in place and working wellhere.”

“Our cumulative GPA has always been high, one ofthe best on campus. I think if you are looking forresponsible athletes, people you can rely on for thelong term, you have to go after the best student-athlete you can, simple as that.”

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference

“The WHAC is a conference that is totally committedto the pursuit of excellence. The opportunity toplay in the WHAC truly enhances our program. It’s agreat environment in which to compete. The over-all competition of the league has increased expo-nentially in the time we have been a member and Iam looking forward to watching it grow more andmore.”

Madonna University

“I think it speaks for itself that I am starting my 25thyear here and I probably wouldn’t have lasted morethan two or three of those if I didn’t believe inMadonna and the mission of this University andwhat we are all doing here as a coaching staff, ath-letic and academic administration.”

The Fans

“I think they are the best in the WHAC. It is a veryloyal group, as evidenced by the pictures you cansee in my office. You will notice the same faces inthe stands at those games as you see today. This istruly a family atmosphere. Many of our former play-ers, not to mention their families are still here. Wedon’t always have the largest numbers, but the peo-ple that are involved are consistent and passionate.It is a very intimate group, which I like.”

The Staff

“I feel positive about the staff. I think it’s great tohave Tim (DiBeliso), Tera (Woodruff ) and Brian(McClain). I respect what they have to say and theplayers can turn to them and get good feed backand not be dependent on having to interact withme all of the time. An additional benefit that I thinkis important in our philosophy is that we try andlook at the strengths of the players and thestrengths of what’s available.”

“Our staff has been very consistent, very solid overthe years. We break up the responsibilities whichworks well for us. Brian handles the majority of ourplanning because frankly he is phenomenal at itand loves to do it. Tim is a master tactician withdrill-work and game day preparation. Tera has beenin the players’ shoes and she has really broughtsomething new to the table that can elevate ourprogram. I have to also mention Trevor McClain, ourteam manager who we also rely on heavily.Everyone on staff contributes equally and I am verygrateful for them.”

Long time assistant coach Tim DeBeliso returns for his 15th season on thebench at Madonna University.

DeBeliso has built a reputation as one of the top assistant coaches in the coun-try. His impact on the Crusaders' success during his first 14 seasons is most evi-dent in the accomplishments of MU's setters, whom he has the responsibilityof training and teaching.

Among DeBeliso’s pupils have been three Wolverine-Hoosier AthleticConference Setters of the Year – Ashley Frost, Inta Grinvalds and 2010 winnerEvia Prieditis. Grinvalds and Frost sit in the top two spots all-time in assists atMU and both earned All-America honors under DeBeliso’s guidance with Frostbeing a three-time selection.

DeBeliso focuses on all aspects of the game with the players. This includesworking on techniques and styles for each position. His commitment to the

success of the program is evidenced by the many hours he logs, as well as theextra work he does to help improve each individual. He can be seen workingwith individual players after regular practice hours many nights.

Coach DeBeliso completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at Eastern MichiganUniversity and is currently a Claims Manager for AAA Michigan. He resides inLivonia with his wife Carol.

In his 22nd season, Brian McClain continues to work hand-in-hand with JerryAbraham while overseeing many of the logistics of the Madonna Volleyballprogram. In addition to his role as an assistant coach, McClain serves as theDirector of Volleyball Operations, handling all aspects of travel for theCrusaders. When it comes to plane tickets, hotel reservations and tour guides,Brian plays an integral role.

In addition to his duties with Madonna, Brian has acted as the NAIA SectionalCoordinator and Regional rater the past several seasons and will continue hisrole as conference and national rater in 2011.

McClain is also a co-director of the Madonna AAU program. The CrusaderJuniors Volleyball program has proven to be an enormous asset to manyyoung athletes in and around the area for many years. This program hasallowed many players the additional opportunity to demonstrate their skill andtalent to college coaches across the country.

With a number of former players now attending universities across the countryon volleyball scholarships, Crusader Juniors has become one of the most rec-ognized junior programs in the country. Most importantly, it has given manyyoung women the opportunity to continue in the fun of competitive volley-ball.

When not helping run one of the top teams in the nation, Brian is the owner ofBLT Sportswear and Apparel of Livonia. McClain and his wife Lynn have oneson, Trevor - a junior at MU this fall - and the family resides in Livonia.

WE WIN … IT'S JUST WHAT WE DO

For the 24th straight season (every yearthere has been a program), the Madonnavolleyball team won at least 29 matches.2010's nine losses marked the 11th timein the 24 year history of the programthat MU has suffered less than 10defeats.

WHAT'S WHAC ABOUT THAT?

NOTHING.

A total of seven Madonna University vol-leyball student-athletes were named tothe various Wolverine-Hoosier AthleticConference award teams at season's end,led by WHAC Freshman and WHAC Setterof the Year Evia Prieditis.

A trio of Crusaders were named to theAll-WHAC first team in senior LizDempsey along with juniors KarieAltman and Amanda Koszela.

Altman led the WHAC with 488 kills anda .360 attack percentage to go alongwith a league-best 3.6 kills per set. The 6-0 middle hitter also led MU with 126total blocks, including 12 solos. Dempseywas second on the team with 468 killswhile leading the WHAC in service aces(64) and aces per set (0.5). Her ace totalplaces her 17th in the nation as well.Dempsey also ranked second in the loopwith a 3.5 kill per set average and record-ed 488 digs this season. Koszela led theCrusaders and ranked third in the leaguewith 586 digs and posted a .954 servereception percentage.

Prieditis - who took home two of theleague's highest honors - ranked first inthe league and fifth in the nation in totalassists (1,549) while also adding 289digs, 72 kills, 36 service aces and 68 totalblocks in her first active season as aCrusader. Her 11.6 assists per set placesher third in the country.

Freshman Miranda Sechler joinedPrieditis on the all-freshmen team.Sechler posted 115 kills and 43 totalblocks in her first season in the RoyalBlue and Gold.

Four Crusaders - Altman (biology),Dempsey (dietetics), Koszela (math for

elementary education) and Anna Gatt, agraphic design and computer technolo-gy double major - were named to theAcademic All-WHAC team. To be selectedto the academic team, a student-athletemust have a 3.25 cumulative grade pointaverage or higher and be a junior or sen-ior.

Rounding out the Crusader award win-ners was junior Megan Fricke who wasselected to the WHAC's Champions ofCharacter Team as the student-athletewho best displays the NAIA's Five CoreValues of respect, responsibility, integri-ty, servant leadership and sportsman-ship. Fricke ranked third on the squadwith 436 kills and 416 digs to go alongwith 37 service aces.

THE WHOLE TEAM IS SMART

For the second time in the last three sea-sons, the Madonna University volleyballteam was selected for the AmericanVolleyball Coaches Association's (AVCA)Team Academic Award. The Crusadersposted a team grade point average of3.60 for the 2010-11 school year.

The award, which was initiated in the1992-93 academic year, honors colle-giate and high school volleyball teamsthat displayed excellence in the class-room during the school year by main-taining at least a 3.30 cumulative teamgrade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.

This award came on the heels of theNAIA announcing the Crusaders as oneof its Scholar Teams. MU ranked 44thoverall nationally in GPA and was theeighth highest rated volleyball program.

ALTMAN NAMED TO ESPN ACADEMIC

ALL-AMERICA TEAM

Junior Karie Altman was named to the2010 ESPN Academic All-AmericaVolleyball Team as selected by the mem-bers of the College Sports InformationDirectors of America.

A biology major with a 3.98 grade pointaverage, Altman was named to theCollege Division Third Team and was oneof just two NAIA student-athletes select-

ed among the 18 honorees nation wide.The College Division consists of NCAADivision II, NCAA Division III and NAIAmember institutions in both the UnitedStates and Canada.

WE'RE GOING STREAKING

The Crusaders saw two signifigantstreaks in 2010. The first came in theform of a five-match losing streak, thelongest since the 1991 season. The sec-ond streak was one to remember as theCrusaders - following a five set loss toNo. 15-ranked Indiana Tech - ran off 17straight wins from September 16 tillOctober 22. A loss to No. 6-rankedColumbia snapped the streak but MUthen won five of its final seven matchesof the season to end the year winners of22 of its final 24 matches.

UPSET AT TECH

The highlight of the 2010 season mayhave come on October 14 whenMadonna upset No. 12-ranked IndianaTech 3-1 (19-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25-21).After dropping the first set the Crusaderswon the next three sets to snap a four-match losing streak to the Warriors andpull into a tie for first place in the WHACrace.

Madonna University'sfirst-year philosophycreates the best experi-ence possible for stu-dents entering college.We do this through a learner-centered pro-gram that promotesacademic excellencecoupled with com-munity service.

The University's community involvementwas recognized when the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement of Teaching selectedMadonna as one of two Michigan schools to receive itsnew Community Engagement Classification. A total of 76colleges and universities were selected nationwide.

Madonna University proved committed to curricularengagement as well as community outreach and partner-ships. To be chosen for this new classification, Madonnahad to provide descriptions and examples of theUniversity's practices of community engagement and howthey aligned with its mission, culture, leadership, resourcesand practices.

In recognition of Madonna's commitment to servingothers, the University was awarded the 2007 Jimmy andRosalynn Carter Partnership Award for its collaborativepartnership with the All Saints Neighborhood Center inDetroit. The award honored how the two organizationsworked together in exceptional ways to improve people'slives and help college students learn the value of commu-nity service in the process.

SISTER ROSE MARIE KUJAWA, UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

The Board of Trustees at Madonna University appointed Sister RoseMarieKujawa, a ‘66 graduate and mathematics major of Madonna University, to theposition of president of Madonna University, effective July 1, 2001. Sister RoseMarie also completed graduate work at Drew University and the University ofGeorgia, and holds master’s and doctoral degrees from Wayne StateUniversity.A native of Detroit and a member of St. John Cantius parish, SisterRoseMarie is the daughter of Anna and Francis Kujawa. After graduating fromFelician Academy in 1960, she entered the Felician Sisters in Livonia and begancollege studies at Madonna. She pronounced perpetual vows in 1968. Her ear-liest ministries included teaching at St. Valentine school (Redford Township),Bishop Borgess High School, and Ladywood High School where she also servedas assistant principal.

To prepare her for the presidency of Madonna University, Sister Rose Mariebrings a host of experiences associated with her 20-year plus tenure atMadonna University. During her first appointment in Madonna’s mathematicsdepartment in 1975, Sister Rose Marie organized and taught the first computercourses offered at Madonna. This was followed by responsibilities in the Collegeplanning and development office. Appointed academic dean in 1979, SisterRose Marie organized the first graduate program in 1982, a joint venture of thenursing and business departments. Approval by the regional accrediting bodyprepared the way for the export of Madonna’s graduate program to Taiwan, astep which confirmed the University’s direction in international studies.

During Sister Rose Marie’s 17-year term as academic vice president, the sab-batical policy was developed and implemented, the faculty teaching load wasbrought in line with national standards, and the size of the faculty and the per-centage of faculty members holding doctorates doubled.

Concurrently, departments and programs were encouraged to seek profes-sional accreditation and approvals. In addition to nursing and education which

were already accredited by their respective organizations, social work, dietetics,and the legal assistant program sought and received the coveted approvals.New undergraduate programs were also introduced: applied science, biochem-istry, computer science, hospice education,hospitality management, interna-tional studies, Japanese, long-term care administration, merchandising man-agement, church music, music management, pastoral ministry, professionaland technical writing, psychology, and television and video communications.“Madonna Magazine,” a regionally syndicated public service program, became apermanent fixture in Madonna’s long list of opportunities for students toenhance their understanding of the world and to improve it through an everwidening circle of communications. “Writing across the Curriculum” was estab-lished as a norm at Madonna as was a computer course requirement for everystudent graduating from the University.

Sister Rose Marie claims the highlight of her academic career was the transi-tion of Madonna College to Madonna University. As chairperson of the“University Study” committee, Sister Rose Marie compared the academic quali-ty and support structures of Madonna with thirteen other private universitiesand discovered that Madonna compared favorably with all of them. The region-al accrediting body and the State of Michigan department of education agreed,thus ushering in Madonna University in 1991.

Besides her work at Madonna, Sister Rose Marie has served on the boards ofSt. Mary Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph Home (Jackson), SS. Cyril and MethodiusSeminary, the Orchard Lake Schools, Angela Hospice (advisory), MarywoodNursing Care Center and Marybrook Manor, and Maryville Center (Holly). Shewas elected to the leadership team of the Felician Sisters of the Livonia province(1994 - 2000) where she served as Provincial Secretary and coordinated themajor meeting (chapter) of the province in 1999.

Her travels have included fifteen trips abroad and visits to 23 countries.Outgrowths of these international meetings reaped several benefits forMadonna University: a professor from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, anexchange program with Nagoya Gakuin University in Tokyo, as well as an ongo-ing relationship with Edgehill College near Manchester, England which provid-ed internships for nursing and teacher education students.

The Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference was formed in 1992 out ofthe old NAIA District 23. As then Conference Commissioner, and formerConcordia Athletic Director, Dr. T. Alan Twietmeyer recalls, shiftingnational allegiances and new NAIA playoff guidelines were cause foraction.

"...Northwood, Hillsdale, and SVSU were about to, or had just, goneNCAA II and with some new rules and strategies on the horizon weneeded to form a con-ference for playoff mat-ters, political clout, etc.The ramrod of theseearly meetings was GlenDonahue of OrchardLake St. Mary's. We musthave met six or eighttimes with very littleprogress. A major hur-dle was that OLSM onlyhad men's basketball. Asthe NAIA establishedaffiliated conferences itmandated a conferencesize (at least six schools)and each school was tohave at least six sports. Itis ironic that the impe-tus for the conferencecame from an institution that is not in the league. About this time ButchPerchan, former AD at Tri-State University, got involved and was inter-ested in joining. He pulled TSU out of their district and joined theWHAC. Butch was the first WHAC President and did much to set up theconference, establish fees, move paperwork, etc."

The Conference's six charter members were, Aquinas College,Concordia College, Cornerstone University, Siena Heights University,Spring Arbor College, and Tri-State University.

Madonna University joined the conference in 1997, with Indiana

Institute of Technology joining a year later in 1998. More change cameto the conference at the conclusion of the 2003 year when Tri-State leftthe WHAC to apply for NCAA status. The conference also lost SpringArbor following the 2004 campaign as the Cougars joined the MCC.

The WHAC Executive Council voted in University of Michigan Dearbornas a member on July 1, 2004 to replace Spring Arbor, again giving theWHAC seven teams. The conference regained it's eighth member in

2005 when DavenportUniversity joined Dearborn asan associate member in thesports of men's and women'sbasketball and men's andwomen’s soccer and golf. ThePanthers added baseball andsoftball for the 2009 season.

The University of NorthwesternOhio joined in baseball, basket-ball, golf, tennis and volleyballfor the 2010-11 school year andLourdes University joins for2011-12, giving the WHAC afootprint in three states now.

In its 18 years the WHAC hasbecome well respected notonly regionally, but nationally.

Conference schools have secured National Championships in severalsports, both in the NAIA and the NCCAA. The Wolverine HoosierAthletic Conference has come a long way since its inception, and welook forward to even greater heights of both academic and athleticexcellence!

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference offices are located on thecampus of Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, situatedin the back yard of three conference schools.
