BIG WIN IN THE LITTLE APPLE Arkansas’ fi ve-set win over Kansas State (Aug. 31) was the program’s fi rst ever in Manhattan. The Razorbacks had lost the previous fi ve meetings on the Wildcats’ home fl oor and picked up the program’s third win in the series.

ALL-TOURNAMENT IN THE LITTLE APPLE In recognition of their standout showing, Pilar Victoria and Elizabeth Pamphile were named to the K-State Invitational All-Tournament Team. Victoria averaged 6.73 kills per set while hitting .381 while Pamphile tallied 2.09 kills per set and a .340 hitting percentage in the tournament.

RIPPEE GARNERS SEC ACCOLADES Averaging 11.80 assists per set and directing the offense to a .274 hitting percentage during the Arkansas Classic, Rachel Rippee was named the SEC Setter of the Week. She is the second Razorback (Adrien Wohlschlaeger) to win the award since its inception in 2015.

TOP-10 OUTBURST Arkansas beat Utah State (Aug. 26) behind its .422 team hitting percentage, the 10th-highest single-match fi gure in program history. After committing seven attack errors in the opening set, the Razorbacks had just three combined errors in the next two sets.

WELCOME BACK, PILAR Redshirt senior Pilar Victoria made the most of her return, averaging 6.80 kills per set while hitting .406 during the Arkansas Classic. She had at least 19 kills in each match, including a 26-kill showing against Utah State (Aug. 26).

AYE AYE, CAPTAIN By way of a team vote, seniors Kori Ortiz and Pilar Victoria

will serve as the Razorbacks’ team captains. Ortiz enters the season with 600 career digs while Victoria returns to the fl oor after a redshirt season in 2016.

FRESH(MAN) FACES Arkansas heads into the 2017 season with nine freshmen on the roster, the most in program history. Previously, the high was six freshmen on fi ve other occasions, most re-cently in 2014. The latest incoming class earned Highest Honorable Mention accolades from PrepVolleyball.com.

ACROSS THE NET As part of their 2017 slate, the Razorbacks are scheduled to play 10 matches against eight teams that advanced to last year’s NCAA Tournament. Arkansas will also face eight teams that appear in the AVCA preseason poll. The team’s SEC schedule begins Sept. 20 against Tennessee.

WHAT SAY YOU, COACHES? For a second-consecutive year, redshirt senior Pilar Victo-ria was named to the All-SEC Preseason Team. She tallied 525 kills in 2015 but missed last season with an injury. In the SEC preseason coaches poll, Arkansas was picked to fi nish eighth in the league.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS For the second time in program history, Arkansas earned an AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2016-17 academic year. To be recognized, teams had to maintain a collective 3.30 or higher cumulative GPA. The team was previously honored for the 2014-15 academic year.

ANOTHER SUMMER ABROAD Associate head coach Jon Newman-Gonchar served as a consultant coach for the U.S. Women’s National Team this summer. During that time, Team USA won gold at the Pan Am Cup in June and advanced to the fi nal round of the FIVB Grand Prix in China.

HEAD COACH JASON WATSON | 2ND YEAR AT ARKANSAS (13TH OVERALL)

Jason Watson was named the head coach of the University of Arkansas volleyball team on January 7, 2016, to become the third head coach in program history. In 11 prior seasons as a head coach at BYU (2005-07) and Arizona State (2008-15), Watson enters the 2017 season with a 209-169 (.553) record and has guided his teams to seven NCAA Tournament selections. The Razorbacks matched their SEC output from the previous season with a 7-11 mark in league play during Watson’s fi rst year including six wins in their last nine matches of the year. Individu-ally, senior Danielle Harbin emerged to fi nish third in the SEC with 4.22 kills per set on her way to AVCA All-South Region honors. In eight years in Tempe, Ariz., Watson transformed ASU Volley-ball from a perennial sub-.500 program into a postseason regular. In his last four seasons, the Sun Devils averaged more than 19 wins per season with four-consecutive bids to the NCAA Tournament. Watson also coached a pair of All-America performers, one in each of the past two seasons, for ASU’s fi rst national honorees since 2000. Arizona State began the 2015 campaign with a 15-0 record and reached as high as No. 5 in the AVCA Top 25 poll. The Sun Dev-ils also opened conference play with their best start in the Pac-10/12 era with four wins including the program’s fi rst win over Stanford in 15 years. In 2014, ASU opened the season with six straight wins on the way to a 20-14 record. The Sun Devils were ranked in each AVCA regular season poll. Making its third straight trip to the NCAA Tour-nament, ASU defeated Texas A&M 3-1 to advance to the second round of the Tournament for the fi rst time since 2006. Watson led ASU to a 19-13 overall record in 2013 including a 3-0 upset of then-NCAA defending champion Texas. The Sun Dev-ils started the season without dropping a set in their fi rst seven matches. Making its second consecutive NCAA Tournament appear-ance, ASU dropped a fi ve-set match to BYU in the fi rst round. In 2012, the Sun Devil squad opened with an 11-2 record, the best start since 1992. The Sun Devils fi nished with 20 wins — the most in a single season at ASU since 1993. The nine conference wins equaled the most since 2000. ASU made the program’s 16th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and Watson became just the fi fth coach from ASU to guide the Sun Devils to a NCAA postseason berth. Watson arrived as the head coach at ASU in 2008. In 2013, he was also named head coach of the sand volleyball team when the sport was added to the athletics program. In June 2015, Watson was selected by USA Volleyball to serve as the head coach of the U.S. Collegiate National Team on a six-match tour of China. In his three seasons at the helm of the BYU program, Watson compiled a 74-18 (.804) overall record while leading BYU to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances. During his fi rst season as head coach, Watson was named Mountain West Confer-ence Coach of the Year after leading his team to a 25-4 record, the program’s best mark since 1998. In addition to leading BYU to the MWC regular-season title, Watson also helped lead the Cougars back to the NCAA Tournament.

In 2007, he led the Cougars to a 24-8 overall record and an Elite 8 fi nish in the NCAA Regional Final. His team also fi nished the year ranked 12th nationally, and at one point through the season, the Cougars held a rank as high as ninth in the country. No stranger to the best competition, Watson’s teams have been ranked as high as eighth on RPI, showing the character and strength of the teams he builds. Never backing down from challenges are also another hallmark trait of Watson-led teams. Prior to his head-coaching debut, Watson had amassed 11 years as an assistant coach at four universities. After an All-Amer-ican playing career at BYU, Watson coached for two years under his former coach, Carl McGown, before beginning his career in women’s volleyball with extremely successful stints at Kansas State, Arkan-sas State, and Montana State. Watson had an All-American playing career at BYU from 1990-1994, where he was a four-year starter and two-time captain. He graduated from BYU in 1995 with a degree in physical education and sports business management after leaving his native home of Homebush, Australia. He and his wife, Larissa, have two sons and a daughter.
