BIG 12 CONFERENCE STANDINGS

BURGESS, PIPER FACE FAMILIAR FOESSophomores Sheridan Burgess and Aubree Piper will see several familiar faces across the net Satur-day as Oklahoma’s Brianne Barker, Eden Williams, Caitlin Higgins all hail from Amarillo. Barker and Williams joined Burgess at Amarillo High School while Higgins attended Tascosa and Piper went to nearby Canyon Randall.

RED RAIDERS SCORE COME-FROM-BEHIND WINTech’s come-from-behind win over New Mexico earlier this week marked the second time this sea-son the Red Raiders had overcome a deficit on the road. After winning the first set, Tech dropped the next two games before rallying to win the final two in the Red Raiders’ first five-set match of the year. Tech had previously overcome an early one-set deficit to defeat North Texas on Sept. 19 in Denton.

RANGEL STEPS UP AT NEW MEXICODravon Rangel not only moved back into the start-ing lineup at New Mexico, but she also played a huge part in Tech’s 3-2 victory. The sophomore, who was starting in place of Aubree Piper, deliv-ered a school-record 14 block assists in the match, breaking the previous single-match record of 11 that was last set by current director of operations Amy Gandy on Nov. 15, 2006 against Iowa State.

RED RAIDERS BREAK BLOCKING MILESTONETech snapped a 19-year-old school record at New Mexico with 37 block assists against the Lobos, sur-passing the previous milestone of 36 that was set against Utah State on Sept. 10, 1982. The Red Raid-ers finished with a season-high 19.5 blocks in the match as opposed to New Mexico’s six total.

DOWDY CREEPING UP RECORD BOOKAmanda Dowdy made another step up the Tech re-cord book against Iowa State as the senior moved to second all-time in career attempts, passing Me-lissa McGehee (1999-02). Dowdy now has 3,396 swings during her four seasons and trails McGehee by only 82 kills for second all-time in that category as well. Kelly Johnson is the school’s all-time leader in both categories as she totaled 1,925 career kills and 5,142 attempts during her four seasons from 2001-04.

MEYERS MOVING UP RECORD BOOK TOOLike Dowdy, Karlyn Meyers faces the possibility of moving up the school’s record book as the senior setter recently became just the eighth player in school history to reach 2,000 assists over a career. Meyers enters this weekend trailing Mary Loescher for seventh all-time with 2,312 career assists, seven shy of Loescher’s mark that was set over the 1985-87 seasons.

NOTABLESu Texas Tech's 14 wins this year marks the school's most in a single-season since going 14-15 during the 2002 season. u The Red Raiders' win over New Mexico was Tech's 14th-straight over a non-conference opponent, the school's longest such run since winning 22-straight over the course of the 1996-97 seasons. u Tech is 11-1 in games away from Lubbock this season. The Red Raiders had not won at least 11 away or neutral site since 2000 when Tech finished with 12 wins away from Lubbock. u Tech trailed in kills and hitting percentage for the first time all season against Iowa State as the Red Raiders notched only 28 kills and a .049 hitting percentage, both season lows.u Tech had not previously been swept in any match this season prior to facing Iowa State. The last time the Red Raiders suffered a 3-0 loss was against Nebraska on Nov. 6, 2010. u The Red Raiders have held their opponents to a combined .082 hitting percentage so far this season, which is the lowest in the Big 12. Iowa State current-ly ranks second as its opponents are hitting .154 on the year followed by Oklahoma at .155. u The North Texas match snapped a seven-match streak where the Red Raiders had claimed a 3-0 sweep. The run was Tech’s longest since opening the 1998 season with eight-straight sweeps. u Texas Tech’s win over UT-Arlington marked the program’s third tournament title of the season, a feat that had not been previously accomplished since the 2000 season. u Tech has already surpassed its win total from the 2008-10 seasons combined as the Red Raiders won 11 games during those three years.u The Red Raiders have broken the 10-win barrier for the first time since the 2006 season when Tech finished 12-17 under Nancy Todd. u Tech has held its opponent to a hitting percent-age below .100 in seven of its last 10 matches. Only UConn and Iowa State have posted a hitting per-centage over .200 against the Red Raiders this year. u Tech has also held four of its opponents to a neg-ative hitting percentage, which prior to the year had not been accomplished since facing Northwestern State on Sept. 2, 2010. u The Red Raiders, meanwhile, have hit over .200 in all but three matches this season. Tech has been over .300 in five matches as well.

IOWA STATE SNAPS TECH’S WINNING STREAKIowa State snapped the Red Raiders’ 13-match win-ning streak with a 3-0 victory in Tech’s Big 12 opener. The loss ended Tech’s longest run since the 1996 season where the Red Raiders got off to a 15-0 start. Tech, which had not lost a match since the season opener at TCU, dropped its fourth-straight Big 12 opener, falling to 6-10 in conference openers.

TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALL

Senior Amanda Dowdy will not only be looking to end her Texas Tech career off on a high note this year, but she will also be chasing several program records.

The Lexington, Texas native entered the year fifth all-time in career kills and sixth in career attacks. Dowdy is only the eighth player in school history to reach 1,000 kills over a career as she has recorded 1,041 over three seasons.

Dowdy also joined the top 10 last year on the sin-gle-season charts as her 424 kills ranked 10th all-time and her 1,286 attempts was sixth all-time. She also set the single-match record for kills a year ago as she finished with 37 against Colorado on Oct. 13 before nearing the feat again against the Buffaloes,

MATCH NOTES

RED RAIDERS OPEN CONFERENCE ATOP THE BIG 12 STANDINGSAfter a successful start to the season, Tech began Big 12 action last week atop the conference stand-ings for the first time since 1997 with a 13-1 record. The Red Raiders, who were also 13-1 at that point, finished the 1997 season 23-11 overall, barely miss-ing out on the NCAA Tournament.

TECH CREATING HAVOC ON THE BLOCKThrough matches played last weekend, the Red Raiders had become one of the country’s top blocking teams, posting a 3.20 blocks per set aver-age which is tied for second nationally with Utah State. Mikia Mills leads the way with a 1.31 aver-age which is tied for 27th nationally. Aubree Piper, meanwhile, slightly trails with a 1.30 blocks per set mark, which is tied for 30th nationally. Syracuse leads the country with a 3.22 blocks per set aveage.

FLORA JOINS ELITE COMPANY IN RECORD BOOK When then athletics director Gerald Meyers hired Don Flora last January, he knew he was getting a proven head coach with an impressive record. Flo-ra has proved Meyers’ pick to be a solid choice as Tech is 13-1 on the year, the best record through 14 matches for a first-year head coach in school histo-ry. The California native passed Donna Martin, who led Tech to a 12-2 start in 1985 as the Red Raiders eventually ended the year 19-9 overall. Flora en-tered the year as one of the winningest coaches all-time in NCAA history after compiling a 269-59 record over 11 seasons at the University of La Verne in California.

SENIORS ENJOYING FINAL SEASON AT TECHSeniors Amanda Dowdy and Karlyn Meyers have to be enjoying their final season in a Texas Tech uniform. The duo won a combined 11 games over their first three seasons, one less than Tech’s total so far this year. Don Flora marked the fourth head coach to lead the duo as the co-captains started their careers under Nancy Todd in 2008. Now, Dowdy and Meyers are off to one of the best sea-sons in school history while both are also climbing the Tech record book in several categories.

ROAD TRIP MEANS NOTHING TO TECHPossibly the most important factor in Tech’s trans-formation under Don Flora has been its ability to

RECORD WATCH: DOWDY CHASING SEVERAL MILESTONES IN 2011

score wins on the road. The Red Raiders had tra-ditionally struggled away from Lubbock in recent years but have posted a 10-1 record in road or neu-tral site contests so far. That’s impressive for a pro-gram that entered the year with only 14 wins away from Lubbock since 2007.

TEXAS TECH BOOSTS OFFENSE WITH SERVEOne of Don Flora’s areas of improvement early in the season was Tech’s serving ability after the Red Raiders posted double-digit error numbers twice in their first three matches. Tech has used the serve to its advantage lately as the Red Raiders have totaled 79 aces so far, six more than the 2010 season. Nicole Hragyil and Amanda Dowdy lead the squad with 13 aces, while Tory Vaughan has added 12 of her own as well. Hragyil currently ranks ninth in the Big 12, averaging 0.31 aces per set.

TEXAS TECH INVITATIONAL MARKS A FIRSTThe Red Raiders’ tournament win last weekend at the Texas Tech Invitational was the program’s first since it claimed the North Texas Tournament to start the 2008 season. Tech had also not won its own home tournament since 2004 when the Red Raiders defeated UTPA, UTEP, and North Texas as part of the Red Raider Classic.

DAVID ADDS TO WEEKLY AWARD WINNERSBreeann David became the second Texas Tech player to earn a Big 12 weekly award this week as she was named the conference Rookie of the Week on Mon-day. David joins teammate Aubree Piper as a weekly award winner after Piper earned Defensive Player of the Week honors a week ago. It marked the first time in school history that two different players had been honored in the same season.

PIPER HONORED ON BIG 12 WEEKLY AWARDSPrior to Tuesday night’s match at Texas-Pan Ameri-can, sophomore Aubree Piper was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week for her performance during the Texas Tech Invitational. Piper finished with 21 blocks to go along with 15 kills on the weekend, matching her single-game highs for total blocks and block assists in the pro-cess. No Tech player had been previously honored with a Big 12 weekly award since Amanda Dowdy was named the conference Rookie of the Week on Sept. 15, 2008.

TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALLDOWDY LEADS TRIO OF PLAYERS ON ALL-TOUR-NAMENT TEAMAmanda Dowdy was one of three Red Raiders named to the Texas Tech Invitational all-tourna-ment team as the senior picked up most valuable player honors. Fellow senior Karlyn Meyers and junior Miara Cave were also honored as the Red Raiders claimed the tournament title following a 3-0 weekend.

VAUGHAN SNAPS CAREER HIGHAfter already matching her career high for digs twice this season, Tory Vaughan broke the 20 dig milestone in the tournament finale against More-head State as the junior finished with 21 digs in the match. Her previous high had been 13 which she originally set against Texas State in 2009.

DOWDY, CAVE MAKE ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMTexas Tech senior Amanda Dowdy and junior Miara Cave were both named to the TCU Invitational All-Tournament team after leading the Red Raiders to a second-place showing.

MORE BALANCE, BETTER RESULTSIf there was one consistent variable in Tech’s open-ing weekend, it would be that the Red Raiders have more balance on offense. The trio of Amanda Dowdy, Miara Cave, and Breeann David all had at least 10 kills each in both of the first two matches. In the process, Tech’s hitting percentage rose to a .256 average over three matches, including a .388 mark against UConn, the Red Raiders’ highest at-tacking percentage since defeating South Florida in three sets on Sept. 9, 2006.

DAVID JOINS ELITE COMPANYSince the Red Raiders joined the Big 12 in 1996, no Tech freshman has begun her career with double-digit kill figures in back-to-back matches. That is until Breeann David. The Denver City product fin-ished with 11 kills against TCU and followed with 14 the following day against UConn. David finished with a .500 hitting percentage against UConn as she was 14-for-24 on the attack en route to post-ing Tech’s highest individual hitting percentage since Barbara Conceicao recorded a .526 average on Sept. 11, 2009 against Gonzaga.

FRESHMAN GET VALUABLE TIME AT TCUOne thing Don Flora wanted to see while at TCU was how his young team of mainly freshmen and sophomores would respond in a competitive at-mosphere. After Tech easily defeated Grambling State in the opening set, Flora went with a lineup to start the second frame that consisted of all freshmen. Tory Vaughan was the only Red Raider junior or senior to see action over the match’s final two sets as Tech played all 17 players that traveled that weekend.

DOWDY NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 Senior Amanda Dowdy was recognized prior to the season as Tech’s only selection on the Preseason All-Big 12 team. Dowdy was among the top offen-sive players in the conference a year ago en route to be selected to the All-Big 12 first team following the season. This marks the second-straight season Dowdy has been honored on the preseason and first as a unanimous selection.

MEYERS ADDS EXPERIENCE AT SETTERWith such a young roster, the Red Raiders will rely on senior setter Karlyn Meyers at the setter posi-

AVCA TOP 25 POLL (Sept. 26)tion. A two-year starter, Meyers is one of the most-accomplished setters in school history as she is al-ready among the top 10 all-time in career assists and assists per set average.

RED RAIDERS WILL BE YOUNGTexas Tech will be one of the younger teams in the country as 15 of the program’s 21 players are listed as either a freshman or sophomore. Two of the squad’s six upperclassmen, juniors Ciara Gibson and Kelly Chiffer, will both redshirt this season, giv-ing the Red Raiders only four upperclassmen on the court - seniors Amanda Dowdy and Karlyn Meyers and juniors Miara Cave and Tory Vaughan.

FLORA ADDS VETERAN ASSISTANT IN CORONELOne of the first things Don Flora said he wanted once he arrived at Texas Tech was to hire another proven assistant. He got his wish when Jojit Coronel compiled the Tech staff. Coronel, the head coach at George Washington the previous 10 seasons, joins fellow assistant Beth Falls and director of operations Amy Gandy.

CAVE PRIMED FOR STELLAR JUNIOR SEASONWhen asked who his most improved player was at the end of spring, Don Flora did not have to hesitate to say Miara Cave. Flora’s has described Cave’s spring as “going back to the basics” as the junior primarily worked on her footwork. The result has been a new-found confidence for Cave, who will be looking to improve on last season’s numbers where she was second on the team with 176 kills.

DAVID LOOKS TO FOLLOW FAMILY LEGACYBreeann David’s commitment to Texas Tech last spring not only gave the program one of the top recruits in the country, but it continued a family leg-acy. David’s mother, the former Megan McGuire, was a standout volleyball athlete for Tech in the 1980s while her father, Stan David, starred on the football team during the same time before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 1984 NFL Draft. Both her mother and aunt, Susan Kelly McGuire, are still among the top 10 in school history of every block-ing category. David’s older sister, Leah David, is also the team’s student manager.

VAUGHAN RETURNS TO LIBERO POSITIONTory Vaughan will return to the libero position this season for the first time since she was a freshman. The now-junior spent the 2010 as a defensive spe-cialist, playing in all 29 matches while finishing fourth on the team with 147 digs. Vaughan played in all but two matches as a freshman, totaling 143 digs in the process, third-highest on the team.

RED RAIDERS BOAST 12 NEWCOMERSSoon after his hire, Don Flora immediately hit the re-cruiting trail, traveling all over the country trying to build the Tech roster. The hard work paid off as the Red Raiders boast 12 newcomers to this year’s roster, including nine high school prospects.

RANGEL BACK IN ACTION AFTER INJURYDravon Rangel will be back in action for the first time in almost a year this week as the redshirt soph-omore missed almost all of last season with a knee injury. Rangel played in two matches of the season-opening Rice Tournament before receiving a medi-cal redshirt at the conclusion of the season. Rangel will be making her return nearly 15 minutes from her hometown of Grand Prairie.
