MISSION STATEMENTWayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and

wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education.

A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University.

Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

Allan D. Gilmour was unanimously elected by the Board of Governors on January 18, 2011 to serve as Wayne State University’s 11th President.

President Gilmour, a graduate of Harvard University and the University of Michigan, spent most of his career at Ford Motor Company, from which he retired in 1995 as vice chairman. He rejoined the company as vice chairman in 2002, and retired again in 2005.

Mr. Gilmour is chairman of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and serves on the boards of the Detroit Regional Chamber, Business

Leaders for Michigan, Downtown Detroit Partnership, the Detroit Zoo, Citizens Research Council, Detroit Economic Club, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Midtown Detroit and New Detroit.

Previously, he was a member of the boards of Ford Motor Co., DTE Energy Company, US West, MediaOne Group, Prudential Financial, Dow Chemical, Whirlpool and Universal Technical Institute. He also was chairman and a trustee of Henry Ford Health System and its foundation and a trustee of the University of Detroit Mercy, the Detroit Institute of Arts, St. Johnsbury (Vt.) Academy, and the Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan.

Born on June 17, 1934, Mr. Gilmour was raised on his family’s dairy farm in Barnet, Vermont. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Harvard University and a master of business administration from the University of Michigan. While working toward a doctoral degree at the University of Michigan, Mr. Gilmour was a teaching fellow in finance.

was 3.03. Eleven (11) of WSU’s fifteen (15) athletic programs had cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00.

In addition, in only nine months, WSU student-athletes contributed an exemplary 7,432 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. In the past four years alone, student-athletes have committed nearly 29,000 community service hours with such programs as St. Leo’s and St. Aloysius soup kitchens, Motor City Makeover, Make-A-Wish, Relay for Life, canned food drives, Boys and Girls Club, Toys-for-Tots, Genesis House, Focus Hope, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Wayne Cares Basic Needs Drive.

The rise in both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 26 percent higher than the comparable campus population. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001 and combines a salute to the University’s faculty.

Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes. In his 12 years, he has secured $10,598,946 in revenue excluding an additional 1.374 million in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball locker room and coaches offices, along with a grandstand, walkwayandpressbox;aBostonGarden-likeparquetfloorfor

basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf football field; a new outdoor track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment areas; and new USTA outdoor tennis courts with scoreboard. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well.

Fournier added a radio and statewide television package to WSU media outreach. He also added the athletic department’s first website, a quarterly magazine (Warrior Within) and a weekly coach’s show (Winters on Wednesdays). He also

Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University on 1 September 2000, a lot has changed. In those 12 years, the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, community outreach initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic campus has seen a significant transformation. That development has followed a strategic plan that models business forecasting and has realized defined goals/objectives. The results are well-documented.

That competitive success is evident in WSU’s national standing against all Division II institutions. WSU’s 11 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 11 years including the two highest marks ever in the past four years – 11th in 2009 and 21st in 2010. Those respective finishes secured an unprecedented top four and top seven percent ranking among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Seven of 15 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In the past 11 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings.

Additionally, in those 12 years, 35 WSU coaches have been named Conference Coach of the Year while four have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. Last year the women’s swimming and diving program won the first national title since women’s fencing in 1989. Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the Division II national championship game.

For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008.

Last year WSU had thirty-two (32) All-Americans, which compliments the 37 in 2008-09 and 35 in 2006-07. In the last six years, 195 WSU student-athletes have been recognized with this singular honor. In the past 10 years, 245 Warriors have been named All-Americans, the most in any decade. In the 95 years of WSU Athletics, 264 of the 485 all-time All-Americans have been so honored since 2000.

Another strategic measurement continues to be noteworthy. The 2011-12 academic year continued both academic achievement and community volunteerism. The Winter (2012) term’s cumulative grade-point average for all student-athletes

directs and oversees the University’s intramural and club sport programs and the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center.

Furthermore, Wayne State is the only school in the country to designate a week of activities to promote Women’s Athletics as “W” Week will be having its fourth annual celebration in April 2013 highlighted by “W” Day.

In addition, Wayne State has added women’s indoor and outdoor track during his tenure.

Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. He also spent three seasons on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He

currently serves as a member of the GLIAC Finance Committee, while also serving on the infractions committee, scheduling committee and long range budget planning committee. He also chairs the championship committee.

Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament.

He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest post-season Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over 350 infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control. He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999.

A licensed attorney, he received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice.

Phil Nickel was named the 12th head coach in the history of the Wayne State University women’s volleyball program on March 3, 2008, by WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier.

The Warriors have qualified for the GLIAC Tournament in all four years of Nickel’s tenure. In 2011, Wayne State finished 14-14 overall, its fourth straight season with a .500 or better record.

Wayne State went 15-12 in 2010 including a 13-6 conference record, WSU’s highest GLIAC win total since the 1998 squad went 15-4. The team also earned home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.

In his first season at the helm, Nickel led the Warriors to the GLIAC Tournament for the first time since 2005. Wayne State advanced past the opening round for the first time since 1997 by defeating Hillsdale in the quarterfinal in Detroit. The Warriors were defeated by Grand Valley State in the semifinals, but finished the season 17-12 including a 9-7 mark in conference play.

The following year, Nickel’s squad went 19-9 to post the highest win total since 1998 and the highest winning percentage since 1997. The Warriors again qualified for the conference tournament, losing 3-1 at Ashland in the quarterfinals.“In Phil we have the person that reflects well on

the long and comprehensive national search process we undertook,” said Fournier. “He brings leadership, a strong recruiting background and knows what it takes to build and sustain a winning program. His positive reception during the interview process by student-athletes, staff and other coaches underscores those intangible attributes that are so necessary to work with divergent groups and achieve success. I look forward to the energy, focused approach and work habits that have been a trademark of his career.”

Nickel came to Wayne State after serving as the assistant coach at the University of Houston for the last six seasons (2002-07). His responsibilities at Houston included recruiting, personnel development and

assisting with on-court coaching. During his tenure with the Cougars, Nickel helped coach eight athletes to 12 All-Conference honors, including the 2004 and 2005 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year Jaci Gonzalez.

“First of all, I would like to thank Rob Fournier for the opportunity to lead the Wayne State volleyball program,” commented Nickel. “This gives me the chance to bring my family back to the Midwest, and to build a championship volleyball program. Rob has made a commitment to the volleyball program, and I look forward to working with him to reach the goals we have set.”

His other NCAA Division I volleyball experience includes assistant coaching positions at Illinois State (2000-01) and Wright State (1998-99). Nickel was also the head coach at Division III Thomas More College for two years (1996-97). He compiled a 34-43 mark in his two seasons with the Saints, leading them to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and a #4 ranking in the South Region in 1997. TMC finished the year with a 20-17 record.

Nickel has served as a committee member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, which

represents the interests of collegiate assistant volleyball coaches, and was also the Chair of the Professional Development Sub-Committee.

He led the Houston Juniors 17 national team to the Silver Championship at the 2006 USA Volleyball Junior Olympic Championships as well as coaching the U17 Black Team for Illinois Juniors Volleyball Club to fifth-place finishes in 2001 and 2002 and had four players named to the All-Tournament Team at USA Nationals. He has also coached the Dayton Juniors and Western Buckeye Volleyball Club.

Nickel attended Ohio Northern for two years, where he played football and baseball. He then transferred to the University of Cincinnati where he played volleyball on the men’s club team from 1992-95. He served as a captain and president from 1994-95 and earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1995. Nickel furthered his education at Wright State University, where he was involved in the Athletics Administration Masters Program.

A native of Richwood, Ohio, he and his wife, Michelle, have two sons, Trey and Zackary, along with a daughter Kaia.

In each of the four years of head coach Phil Nickel’s tenure,

the Wayne State University volleyball team has qualified for

the GLIAC Tournament. With 12 returning letterwinners

from last year’s team, Nickel hopes the 2012 squad is ready

to take the next step.

“We have a number of veterans who have been through

the program,” said Nickel. “They know what I expect and

what the expectations of the program are, and they have

really helped lead the way in raising the bar. While making

the GLIAC Tournament is a good accomplishment, we have

definitely set our sights higher.”

The leadership effort begins with the team’s four co-

captains, including senior setter Cydney Biessel and

redshirt junior Katarzyna Sak, who are each serving their

second year in that role.

One of three players in WSU history with over 3,000

career assists, Biessel was an Honorable Mention All-GLIAC

selection who finished with a career-best 1,042 assists last

season.

“She has come in this year very focused and has done a

really nice job,” said Nickel. “I’m really excited about the

year that I think Cydney is going to have.”

Sak, who missed all of last season with an injury, was

an All-American in 2010 after becoming the first WSU

player since 1992 to finish with over 400 kills and a hitting

percentage above .330.

Senior Lindsey Graciak, who Nickel believes is, “one

of the best liberos in the conference,” and junior middle

blocker Nicole Arends will also function as co-captains

this year. Graciak, the 2011 GLIAC co-leader in digs (513),

is statistically among the top 10 most productive defensive

specialists in program history. Arends led the Warriors in

hitting (.274) and blocking (93) a year ago.

Junior outside hitter Kristen Bulkieiwicz was an All-

GLIAC First Team and AVCA All-Region pick who paced the

WSU offense with 402 kills, the most in a single season

in 15 years. She also finished second on the team in digs

(294) and blocks (74), and Nickel is excited at the prospect

KATARZYNA SAK

CYDNEY BIESSEL

SEASON PREVIEW



of having Bulkiewicz and Sak playing together this season.

“We have really focused a lot on trying to spread things

out so that we don’t rely on one player so much. Obviously

having two players with those credentials really helps us

out, and we’re excited to have them both on the court at

the same time.”

Nickel is encouraged by the preseason play of two other

outside hitters – senior Madie Kent and sophomore

Candice Ottey. Kent achieved career-highs in kills (263),

service aces (38) and digs (281) last year, while Ottey

finished second on the team in hitting percentage (.185) in

her rookie season.

Middle blockers Jen Finkbeiner, who ended her

sophomore season as WSU’s third-leading blocker (73), and

senior Julie Sanders are back in 2012. Others returning

include junior setter Jessica DeLeeuw, and sophomore

defensive specialists Carlee Hunt and Jamie Goryca.

Rounding out the 2012 roster is a four-member freshman

class – middle blockers Kelsey Bonewits and Essence

Jackson-Jones, outside hitter Heather Weiss and setter

Madison Reeves.

“All four are very talented and are going to contribute this

year and down the road,” said Nickel. “I’m excited about the

future with them.”

Wayne State begins its 38th season of volleyball Aug. 31

at the Nova Southeastern University Sharks Classic in Fort

Lauderdale, Fla. Of Wayne State’s 22 scheduled opponents

this season, six qualified for the 2011 NCAA Tournament

including three of its fellow members of the Great Lakes

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

“I think this could be one of the most competitive years,

from top to bottom, that we’ve had in a while (in the

GLIAC),” said Nickel.

The 18-match conference schedule, split in half by the

annual GLIAC/GLVC Crossover in mid-October, will lead into

the GLIAC Tournament starting Nov. 15. Nickel and the

Warriors certainly have a goal to be there, and beyond, in

2012.

WHEELING JESUIT



The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), founded in 1972, has been a leader in the advancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics for men and women for 40 years. The conference has grown to offering championships in 21 sports (11 men’s and 10 women’s) while rising to prominence on the national level as GLIAC teams and student-athletes have achieved success both in the classroom and on the fields of play.

The charter members of the GLIAC were Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Northwood University, and Saginaw Valley State University.

Expansion of the GLIAC began immediately with the addition of Oakland University in 1974. Hillsdale College, Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State University were accepted as members in 1975. In 1977, the conference lost its first member when Northern Michigan withdrew. Michigan Technological University filled the vacancy when it became a member in 1980.

After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992.

After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsored sport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined the members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990.

After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the merger, the University of Indianapolis became an associate member as a football-only school.

Prior to 1995-96, all member institutions of the GLIAC were located in the state of Michigan. On December 14, 1994, membership was offered to three schools located in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The expansion members were Ashland University of Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and

Mercyhurst College, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three schools began their membership July 1, 1995.

On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The University of Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University, which withdrew after the 1996-97 season as it moved to NCAA Division I status.

Westminster College, located in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, became the 14th member of the GLIAC when it accepted its expansion offer in May of 1997. On June 30, 2000 Westminster left the conference as it changed its affiliation to NCAA Division III.

The GLIAC membership changed again when Tiffin University of Ohio joined the conference in the 2008-09 academic year. Tiffin was offered membership on June 20, 2007, leaving the GLIAC with 12 full members as Gannon and Mercyhurst moved to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for the 2008-09 academic year.

The GLIAC moved on under new leadership during the 2009-10 academic year. Commissioner Tom Brown, who had presided over the league for 17 years, retried on June 30, 2009. The longest serving commissioner in the history of the GLIAC, Brown expanded the conference from 10 full members to 14 full members and two associate members.

On July 1, 2010, Lake Erie College of Painesville, Ohio, and Ohio Dominican University, located in Columbus, entered the GLIAC. Two years later, a pair of schools located in the Canton, Ohio area - Malone University and Walsh University - joined the conference.

The policy-making body of the GLIAC is the Management Council, which is comprised of three representatives from each member institution – its director of athletics, faculty athletics representative and senior woman administrator.

The presidency of the GLIAC is rotated alphabetically by school, with Suzanne Sanregret, Director of Athletics at Michigan Technological University, serving as GLIAC President in 2012-13. Dr. Glenn Mroz, President of Michigan Technological University, will serve as the chairperson of the GLIAC Presidents Council this year.

The GLIAC made history in 2009 when it hired Dell Robinson as Commissioner. Robinson became the first ethnic minority to serve as D-II commissioner of a non-historically black college or university conference when he began his duties on July 1, 2009.

Assisting Robinson are: Penny Cook, Asst. Commissioner for Compliance/SWA, Jeff Ligney, Asst. Commissioner for Media Relations; Denise Gross, Assistant to the Commissioner; Mike McCann, Supervisor of Football Officials; Kim Vieira, Supervisor of Soccer Officials; Jeanne Skinner, Supervisor of Volleyball Officials; Rob Doss, Supervisor of Women’s Basketball Officials; Bill Ek, Supervisor of Men’s Basketball Officials; and Rich Fetchiet, Assignor of Baseball Umpires.

2011 GLIAC RESULTS

The 2012 season will mark the 38th year of varsity women’s volleyball at Wayne State University. Since the program’s inception in 1975, under the direction of head coach Gloria Soluk, WSU has won 644 matches, claimed three conference championships as well as three GLIAC South Division titles, and made two appearances at the NCAA Regional tournament.

After posting a combined record of 30-80 over the first four seasons, the 1979 Tartars went 33-15, including an 8-2 conference mark, and won their first of three consecutive GLIAC championships (sharing the 1979 title with Oakland).

Kathy Higgins, the program’s all-time leader in career winning percentage (.786), led the 1981 squad to a 34-9 record, which remains the single-season record for victories, and was named GLIAC Coach of the Year.

The Tartars went 32-9 the following season but were edged out by Ferris State for the GLIAC title, as the Bulldogs were a perfect 8-0 in league play compared to WSU’s 7-1 mark.

Wayne State’s program continued to build through the 1980s as Matt Peck began his 11-year tenure – longest in school history – in 1984. Peck’s teams finished with a winning record eight times, including the 32-6 record of 1986 which remains WSU’s highest single-season winning percentage (.842).

In 1987, the Tartars finished 27-7 and qualified for the NCAA Great Lakes Regional for the first time ever, falling to conference champion Ferris State in a five-set opening round battle. Nonetheless, Peck

was named GLIAC Coach of the Year, and Wayne State had its first volleyball All-American crowned in senior Rachel Parham.

Parham, Wayne State’s all-time leader in kills, blocks, hitting percentage and aces who was inducted into the WSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999, was also selected as the GLIAC Player of the Year in 1987, the only volleyball player in school history to earn the award.

As the program rolled on into the 1990s, Wayne State eclipsed the 20-win mark three more times under Peck, including the 1994 season, Peck’s final year at WSU.

Behind top hitter Demitria Brooks, who led the team with 501 kills and a then-school record 559 digs her senior year and joined Parham as the only players in school history to reach the 500-kill mark in a single season, the Tartars went 26-10 and qualified for the NCAA Regional tournament for the second time, losing a first-round match at Northern Michigan.

Tim Bearden took over as head coach in 1995 and, as the GLIAC split into two divisions, led Wayne State to three consecutive South Division championships from 1996-98. One season after reaching the consolation final of the GLIAC Tournament in 1997, the team posted a program-best 15-4 league record in 1998. Wayne State finished 21-13 overall that season, but would subsequently endure six straight losing seasons as the program struggled heading into the new millennium.

Wayne State was ousted from the 1999 GLIAC

Tournament by Grand Valley State in straight sets, and would not return until 2005 in Ernie Gilbert’s second year as head coach. Elisa Joris, a 2012 WSU Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, was the standout on that squad, becoming the second All-American in program history her senior year. She led the nation with a 1.79 blocks/game average, second-best at WSU behind Parham’s 1.88 average in 1987.

In 2008, the first season under Phil Nickel’s direction, the Warriors went 17-12, their best record in a decade, and advanced past the first round of the GLIAC Tournament for the first time since 1997. Lauren Mallast led the nation in blocking average (1.51), and Sarha Gosselin was selected as an All-American after finishing with 401 kills, a league-best 3.86 kills/set average, and 259 digs.

In 2009, Wayne State went 19-9 to post the highest win total since 1998 and the highest winning percentage since 1997.

The Warriors finished in second place in the South Division in 2010 and hosted Ferris State in the quarterfinals of the GLIAC Tournament. Sophomore All-American Katarzyna Sak became the first WSU player since 1992 to finish with over 400 kills and a hitting percentage above .330.

Including a 14-14 record last season, Nickel’s squads have finished .500 or better overall and qualified for the conference tournament in each of the first four years of his tenure.
