Memphis Volleyball • Weekly Release #10 • Oct. 24-31

TULSA2011 NOTESAfter dropping a 3-1 decision to SMU on Oct. 5, Tulsa has rattled of six consecutive wins to improve to 19-5 overall and a league-best 10-1 in C-USA play. The Golden Hurricane is led by Tyler Henderson, who was voted as the C-USA Preseason Player of the Year. Henderson has totaled a conference-best 411 kills (4.89 k/s) this sea-son while playing in every set for Tulsa.

LAST OUTING vs. Memphis (Oct. 16, 2011)MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis women’s volleyball ran into a buzz saw Sunday as the Tulsa Golden Hurricane swept the Tigers, 25-22, 25-19, 25-11, to record their eighth C-USA victory. Memphis (15-7, 4-5 C-USA) was led by 11 kills from Altrese Hawkins and 12 digs from Alexsandra Petronijevic.“Tulsa is a very good team, and there is a reason they are first in the league,” Head coach April Jauregui said. “They play a low error game.”

Tulsa established an early 8-4 lead in set one after three straight Tiger attack errors. Memphis fought back with a 4-1 spurt to cut the deficit to just one point at 13-12 but was thwarted in the comeback attempt by a kill from Tulsa’s Tyler Henderson. However, the Tigers stayed close and got another chance at 16-18 when a Tulsa service error followed by an attack error allowed Memphis to knot the score. The two teams then traded 3-0 spurts to set up a showdown at 21-21. Tulsa ultimately won the four-point battle with back-to-back blocks to take the set 25-22.

In the second set, it was Memphis who took an early lead at 5-3 but saw the advantage quickly evaporate on the strength of a 5-0 Tulsa run. Lauren Hawkins finally got a score for the Tigers with a kill down the line, but the Golden Hurricane forged ahead to go up 15-8. After trading scores, Memphis responded with a 6-0 streak of its own to get within one point, but a timely Tulsa block left the Tigers still trailing. From there, the Golden Hurricane sprinted to a 25-19 win.

“We had our chances in the first two sets and kept it close, but our unforced errors cost us,” Jauregui said. “We need to cross the hurdle of thinking we can be good to believing that we are. We will be ready to play Rice on Friday.”

The Tigers once again started fast in set three only to see Tulsa roar back with nine straight points to go up 11-4. Hawkins finally broke through with a kill to get Memphis back on the board, but the damage had already been done as the Golden Hurricane rode the momentum to a 25-11 victory.

SMU2011 NOTESSMU brings a 9-14 overall record, including 5-6 in C-USA play into this weekend’s competition. Marshall upended SMU in a five-set battle in the Mustangs’ last game. SMU is led by two powerful attackers in Jessica Oliver and Dana Powell. Oliver leads the team with 275 kills, while Powell has 254 kills of her own. Kelli Becerra is the main setter for SMU and averages 8.01 assists per set.

LAST OUTING - Oct. 14, 2011MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Tigers went down to the wire before pulling out a five-set victory over SMU Friday night, defeating the Mustangs 25-18, 16-25, 15-25, 25-17, 15-13.

The Tigers started strong in set one, jumping out to an 8-4 lead on strong play from Altrese Hawkins and Lauren Hawkins. SMU quickly recovered and had a chance to tie at 10-9 but were stymied by a block from the Hawkins duo. Altrese Hawkins continued to dominate of-fensively, hammering home kills all over the court to keep the Tigers in front. Trailing 19-13, the Mustangs called timeout and regrouped to reel off four straight points, forcing Memphis to talk things over. The Tigers cleaned up out of the break, scoring six of the final seven points of the set to record a 25-18 win. Altrese Hawkins finished with seven kills on .500 hitting in the frame.

Despite two early kills from Altrese Hawkins in set two, SMU managed to pull out a 7-4 lead. The two teams traded points from there as neither team was able to fully claim momentum. The Mustangs were finally able to string together three straight points to build a commanding 17-11 advantage and rode the wave in, taking the set 25-16. SMU hit an impressive .478 in the set while holding the Tigers to just .094.

Set three was tight early on until an 11-2 Mustang run established a 15-7 SMU lead. The Tigers called timeout in an attempt to right the ship but were too mistake-prone to make any dent in the deficit. Memphis did manage to cut the lead to five at one point but would come no closer as the Mustangs posted a 25-15 victory. SMU put up six blocks in the third set while holding Memphis to -.276 hitting.

The Tigers came out with a vengeance in set four, scoring the first six points before the Mus-tangs could even sniff the scoreboard. A combination of timely hitting from Altrese Hawkins and SMU attack errors contributed to the lead. The Mustangs slowly climbed back into the set, coming within three points, but were continually held at bay. With strong offensive play, Mem-phis eventually took the must-win set, 25-17, to force a decisive fifth game.

The Tigers took it home in the fifth set, 15-12.

Memphis was led by tournament MVP Altrese Hawkins, who downed 39 kills and held a .381 hitting percentage during the three games. Marija Jovanovic and Vesna Jelic were also named to the all-tournament teams. Jovanovic was named to the all-tournament team in all four preseason events.

Preseason PowerThe Tigers went 11-2 this preseason and claimed tournament titles at the Memphis Invitational, SIU Saluki Invitational and UNCG Spartan Spiketacular, tying the mark from last season.

Great StartsThe Tigers’ 11-2 start during the preseason is the program’s best since 2006, when Memphis started the season 13-1.

Molnar registered 118 assists in the three matches and netted a tournament-best 49 assists in the victory over Radford.

All-Tournament PerformanceMarija Jovanovic was named to the USF Asics/Powerade All-Tournament team after turning in a double-double of 20 kills and 10 digs in the Tigers’ five-set loss to San Francisco in the event’s championship match. This is the second all-tournament honor this season for Jovanovic, who was also selected to the Memphis Invitational All-Tournament squad.She continued her strong play at the Saluki Invitational, totaling 35 kills, including a double-double of 14 kills and 14 digs against Southern Illinos, en route to being named tournament MVP. She continued her preseason dominance with another all-tournament performance at the Spartan Spiketacular. Jovanovic totaled 34 kills and 24 digs while leading Memphis to three-straight vic-tories and another tournament titles.

Players of the Week (Aug. 29)After a successful first weekend, Altrese Hawkins and Hajnalka Molnar were eached honored by Conference USA as the Offensive Player of the Week and Setter of the Week, respectively.

• Hawkins was named the Memphis Invitational Most Valuable Player after leading the Tigers to four-straight victories. She averaged 4.27 kills per set, including hit-ting .630 against SEMO en route to leading the Tigers to their 800th program win. For the weekend, she was credited with a .383 hitting efficiency (64K, 13E, 133TA). Hawkins collects her third career Offensive Player of the Week honor.

• Molnar averaged a league-best 13.27 assists per set and posted 35 digs in four matches. The junior played every point in the Tigers’ four-straight victories in the Memphis Invitational, leading them to their 800th program win over Southeast Missouri on Friday. This is Molnar’s first career Setter of the Week honor.

Freshman SpecialistRedshirt-freshman libero Aleksandra Petronijevic recorded 29 digs against Georgia State in the final match of the Memphis Invitational. The 29 digs in a single match ties Christine Bach and Christen Clayton’s mark for ninth all-time in the Memphis record books. Petronijevic was named to the all-tournament team for her perfor-mance.

From Serbia with LoveThe 2011 Tigers, much like the 2010 team, will have a very European feel.

The redshirt junior recorded 199 total assists, includ-ing 61 in the championship match against Georgia State to lead the Tigers to four-straight victories. Molnar picked up more accolades at the Saluki Invitational, as the setter was named to the all-tournament team after leading Memphis to three-straight 3-0 victories over Green Bay, Murray State and Southern Illinois. Molnar earned her third C-USA Setter of the Week honors for the week of Oct. 3 after posting back-to-back double-doubles against Southern Miss and Tulane.

• Kostic posted nine kills and 35 digs while seeing time in 13 sets throughout the Memphis Invitational. She also recorded eight service aces.

2010 in ReviewCoach Jauregui and the Tigers welcomed in nine newcomers from across the globe in 2010 and had a successful campaign while getting everyone adjusted to the Memphis way of doing things. The Tigers posted a 16-16 record, including a 9-3 non-confer-ence mark and won both the Memphis Tiger Invitational and Belmont Invitational pre-season tournaments. Altrese Hawkins was named to Conference USA’s All-First Team in addition to being a second-team performer in COBRA Magazine’s 2010 postsea-son awards. Senior Christine Bach accompanied Hawkins on the C-USA All-Academic Team (the second-straight selection for Hawkins and fourth-straight for Bach), while the Tigers earned AVCA’s Academic Team Award for the eighth consecutive season. Bach was also named to ESPN’s All-Academic District IV First Team, while Hawkins earned AVCA Honorable Mention All-America honors.

Like a HawkAltrese Hawkins continues to rake in the honors, as the redshirt-junior was named to Conference USA’s All-Preseason team. The selection comes after her selection to C-USA’s All-Conference First Team following the completion of the 2010 season. Hawkins also earned All-Freshman honors after her first season in 2009. Hawkins was selected to COBRA Magazine’s All-Preseason First Team. She earns the award after a stellar sophomore season in which she downed 483 kills and held a team-best hitting percentage of .305. She was one of only two Tigers to compete in all 122 sets during the 2010 campaign, highlighted by a 29-kill performance against Southern Miss on Oct. 29. The 29-kill showing ranks eighth in the Memphis record book for the most kills in a single match. Hawkins lived up to the hype, as she was named the Memphis Invitational’s MVP and also tabbed C-USA’s Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Aug. 29.

800-win MilestoneThe University of Memphis Volleyball program, entering its 40th year in 2011, col-lected its 800th program victory with a 3-1 victory over SEMO on August 26. The Tigers are currently 28thon the all-time NCAA Volleyball wins list.

This is Your Captain SpeakingAltrese Hawkins and Hajnalka Molnar have been anointed the 2011 captains for Tiger Volleyball. Each returns after standout campaigns in 2011. Hawkins was named a member of the 2011 C-USA All-Preseason Team in addition to being tabbed a First Team performer by COBRA Magazine. The junior downed 483 kills and had a team-best .305 hitting percentage in 2010.

Fresh FacesThe Tigers welcome Lauren Hawkins (Rowlett, Texas), Alexis Wesley (Silverdale, Wash.) and Veronica Zimmerman (Toledo, Ohio) to the program this season.

Juniors RuleWith no seniors of the 2011 roster, the Tigers will rely heavily on their talented junior class of Altrese Hawkins, Cassidy Hawkins, Vesna Jelic, Marija Jovanovic, Maja Kostic, and Hajnalka Molnar, which includes five starters from last year’s squad.

Tiger Volleyball Dropped at Rice, 3-0HOUSTON, Texas. - The University of Memphis volleyball team (15-8; 4-6) dropped its second-straight Conference USA game as the Tigers fell 3-0 (19-25; 17-25; 14-25) to the Rice Owls (12-9; 7-3) Friday night at Tudor Fieldhouse.

Altrese Hawkins led the Memphis attack with 10 kills, while Vesna Jelic (11) and Aleksandra Petronijevic (13) each finished with double-digit digs. Marija Jovanovic registered seven kills, while Hajnalka Molnar finished with 28 assists and eight digs.

Each team came out fighting in the first set and kept it close for the first few points, but three-straight errors by the Tigers allowed the Owls to take a 10-6 advantage. Two more errors by Memphis and kill by Laurie McNamara pushed the Rice lead to 17-10, forcing Memphis to call a timeout. Back-to-back blocks capped a 4-0 run by Memphis that made it 21-16 and forced Rice to call a timeout, but the Owls responded out of the break and closed out the set 25-19.

Rice sprinted out to a 6-2 lead in the second set behind two kills by Nancy Cole and two service aces by McNamara. A service error by Vesna Jelic coupled with a solo block by Jillian Humphrey extended the Owls’ lead to 10-5, forcing the Tigers to take a timeout. Rice came out of the timeout on a 7-1 run to take a command-ing 17-10 lead and never looked back as the Owls closed the set, 25-17.

Cole and McNamara combined for four of Rice’s first five points in the third set as the Owls jumped out to a 5-0 advantage and forced Memphis to take a timeout. A kill by Altrese Hawkins and an ace from Maja Kostic out of the timeout cut the Rice lead to 5-3, but the Owls responded with an 8-2 run to make it 13-5 and force the Tigers to call another timeout.

2011 MEMPHIS RECORD ...


CONFERENCE USA

After marking its 15-year milestone during the 2009-10 season, Confer-ence USA is still going strong. From the beginning, dedication to excel-lence has been the league’s guid-ing principle and remains today a common thread for a promising fu-ture. C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leader-ship in athletics, academics and in our communities. All C-USA institutions sponsor Divi-sion I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic pro-grams, many of which compete regu-larly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (bas-ketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Com-missioner’s Honor Roll and the Com-missioner’s Academic Medal, indica-tive of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 post-graduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institu-tional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing stu-dent-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic stand-ing and participation in their elected sport.
