THIS WEEK IN NORSE VOLLEYBALL: Northern Kentucky volleyball hosts Green Bay in the regular-season finale on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 4 p.m. ET. Prior to the match, NKU will honor its four seniors as part of its Senior Day festivities: Kaitlyn Bowen, Georgia Childers, Drew Hendricks and McKenzie Eskridge.

LAST TIME OUT: NKU took on the top-ranked team in the Horizon League and gave it a good fight, but dropped a four-setter to Cleveland State. The Norse took the third set in a decisive 25-18 victory, and nearly pushed a fifth set before falling 25-23 in the fourth. Haley Libs, Laura Crawford and Shelby Olsen all recorded double-doubles in the setback, with Libs posting 15 kills and 16 digs, Crawford adding 14 kills and 14 digs, and Olsen dishing out 50 assists to go with 13 digs. McKenzie Eskridge had the third 20-dig match of her career with 21 scoops to lead the team in the back row.

POSTSEASON PROGNOSTICATIONS: The final days of the regular season will prove to be vital to NKU’s postseason possibilities. The Norse currently sit at sixth place in the Horizon League standings, which is the final seeding spot for the Horizon League Championship. NKU is two matches ahead of Milwaukee, but not completely in the clear. If the Panthers win out and the Norse lose the final match, Milwaukee would have the advantage over NKU based on highest seeded common opponent wins after the Panthers took two matches against Oakland. A win tomorrow would clinch tournament entry for the Norse. Likewise, should Milwaukee drop either of its final two matches against Wright State or Youngstown State, NKU will secure at least the No. 6 seed.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: On Oct. 27, junior outside hitter Haley Libs recorded her 1,000th career kill, finishing the night with 17 kills and 13 digs for her seventh-straight double-doubles. Libs became the 19th member of NKU’s 1,000-kill club, currently with 1,051 career kills, and is well on her way to joining the 1,000-dig club by the close of her four years at NKU with 788 career digs.

WINNING WAYS: NKU hit a major milestone as a program on Oct. 2, as the Norse posted their 1,000th win in the 42-year team history with a 3-1 win over Youngstown State. The Penguins claimed the opening set, but NKU rattled off the next three sets to remain undefeated in the series history with YSU. Haley Libs led the team with 21 kills and 15 digs, connecting at a .395 clip, while freshman Kaelin Gentile had a career night with 11 kills at a .346 clip. Drew Hendricks had a strong showing with a career-best 13 kills from the left pin.

DOUBLE THE DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE: Both Haley Libs and Laura Crawford are averaging double-doubles on the season, with 13.42 kills/13.50 digs and 10.96 kills/12.25 digs per match, respectively. The duo recorded back-to-back double-doubles in the first two matches of the season against Robert Morris and Duquesne, and again versus Seattle and Sacramento State and later against Wright State and IUPUI.

The Robert Morris match marked a feat that had not been accomplished in nearly a decade. Two players with a double-double in a sweep is a feat in and of itself, but the rarity is even more so when the two players are both attackers. The last time a pair of Norse attackers registered double-doubles in a sweep was on Oct. 21, 2007 against Mount St. Joseph, when current head coach Liz Hart (née Holmes) had 16 kills and 10 digs in the three-set victory while Tristen Dye added 15 kills and 14 digs. The last time two attackers had double-doubles in a victory of any kind was on Nov. 14, 2015 against Cleveland State, courtesy of Libs (17 kills, 13 digs) and Jayden Julian (10 kills, 17 digs).

AND SETTER MAKES THREE: Shelby Olsen has also entered the fold as a double-double machine, averaging 41.17 assists and 12.04 digs per match. Olsen recorded the first double-double of her career against Seattle and went off for three-straight double-doubles throughout the entirety of the NKU Invitational, culminating in career bests of 53 assists and 17 digs (which was bested by 20 digs against Florida A&M on Sept. 16) against Bowling Green.

BACK LINE OF DEFENSE: Northern Kentucky’s defense has become a mainstay of its success, and the Norse are keeping up with the trend of being one of the top defensive teams in the Horizon League. NKU is not only leading the Horizon League in digs per set (17.84), but that number is good for 14th nationally.

SCOUTING GREEN BAY: Green Bay received favor in the preseason as one of the League’s top contenders, sitting second in the preseason poll just two points behind reigning champion Cleveland State, but the Phoenix have not met expectations as they sit at 8-6 in a two-way tie for fourth with UIC. Green Bay’s offense has been led by senior middle blocker Lydia DeWeese and freshman Taylor Wolf. Although listed as a setter, Wolf has taken on the task of being an attacker in her rookie campaign while returner Maddie Yoss dishes out the assists, and has been successful with 3.14 kills per set at a .274 clip while DeWeese leads the team with 3.26 kps at .349. Since entering League play, while Wolf is posting 3.25 kps at a .303 clip, both ranking in the top-10 in both kills and hitting percentage, while DeWeese also sits in the top-10 in both categories at 3.20 kps at .332, making the duo the only two players from the same institution to rank in the League’s top-10 in the two statistics. Additionally, Yoss is one of the most successful offense distributors in the League, averaging 11.58 assists per set. In the all-time series, NKU holds a 6-3 advantage, with the three losses coming in the past two seasons. Green Bay took a 3-1 victory over the Norse earlier this year when NKU took on the Phoenix in Green Bay on Oct. 14.

BIG WEEK FOR GENTILE: Freshman middle blocker Kaelin Gentile was honored as the #HLVB Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 30 after hitting .515 over the weekend against Oakland and Youngstown State. Gentile was practically unstoppable against the Penguins, leading the Norse with 15 kills on 20 swings and no errors, which tied Keely Creamer’s Division I-era record for single-match hitting percentage at .750. Gentile also added eight blocks over the weekend to get it done on the defensive end as well.

BUST OUT THE BROOMS: NKU swept the Horizon League weekly honors on Sept. 4 following its first tournament, as Laura Crawford was named the Offensive Player of the Week and Ashton Terrill was named the Defensive Player of the Week.

NEW YEAR, NEW NORSE: Northern Kentucky’s 14-player roster features six new faces, including five freshmen. The Norse continued to add height to the front line with 6-0 middle blocker Peytton Bagwell, 6-1 middle blocker Bailey Western, 6-0 middle blocker/right side hitter Kaelin Gentile and 5-11 outside hitter Maddy Weber. NKU also adds two defensive specialists in Ashton Terrill, a 5-8 freshman, and Raven Barleston, a 5-5 sophomore transfer from Ohio Dominican.

MATCH 25 // GREEN BAY

Entering her eighth season at the helm of Northern Kentucky University volleyball, Liz Hart coaches a volleyball team that is on the rise.

Since the program’s move to Division I, Hart has orchestrated one of the most successful starts for a transitioning team in NCAA history. The Norse have posted a .500 winning percentage over the last since transitioning, including a 25-7 mark in 2012, the best record for a reclassifying school in NCAA history. Hart enters this season with a 129-80 coaching record.

In 2013, NKU picked up marquee wins against Syracuse, Cincinnati and Navy before the team found itself eligible for conference postseason play in 2014. The Norse advanced to the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and finished the season ranked No. 110 in the RPI among 334 Division I institutions.

2014 marked the first year that the Norse competed in a conference tournament, advancing to the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Championship. NKU finished with a 19-11 overall record and went 7-7 in the A-Sun, while three Norse were named All-A-Sun performers. Jenna Ruble was named to the A-Sun First Team, and both Taylor Snyder and Keely Creamer picked up second-team honors.

The 2015 saw another landmark, as the Norse were honored with the first conference individual honor of the Division I era when Haley Libs was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Year. After moving from the A-Sun to the Horizon League, the Norse went 14-16 on the season, including 8-8 in League play.

Hart’s squad had its highest finish in a Division I conference, with the Norse going 11-5 to finish third in the Horizon League. Keely Creamer, Haley Libs and Taylor Snyder were named to the All-League Team, while Laura Crawford was honored on the All-Freshman squad.

As the Norse are in the third year of Horizon League competition and the first year of full Division I postseason Eligibility, Hart looks to push the Norse even further.

“We use the competitive cauldron to increase competition level amongst the players and get them competing at their highest level every practice,” says Hart. The cauldron ranks each player on a variety of axes each practice, forcing each player to be at her best every moment in practice and on the game court.

The expectation of excellence continues not only on the court, but off as well. NKU’s volleyball teams have maintained abvoe a 3.50 grade point average over the last four years and have earned the AVCA’s Team Academic Award in three reecent seasons.

Hart’s players log numerous community service hours, aiding local elementary schools and retirement homes, as well as the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition, Norse volleyball players represent the program and the university on leadership boards of university, local, conference, regional and national scope.

“We want our players to graduate and leave our program with self-confidence and have the leadership skills to tackle the next part of their lives,” added Hart. “We’re bringing in student-athletes who are driven, believe in our vision and will help to build on the success of our alumnae.”

Hart herself is one of those alumnae, having spent her playing career representing the Black and Gold. During her playing career, Hart was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in 2004, and in 2008 was named an NCAA Top 30 Woman of the Year recipient as well as the GLVC Player of the Year, Great Lakes Region Player of the Year, GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a First Team All-America selection from the AVCA. In addition, Hart was twice named an honorable mention All-American during her sophomore and junior years.

She stands as NKU’s all-time kills leader with 1,850, ranks seventh at NKU with 1,191 career digs and second in block assists with 291.

Hart resides in Cincinnati with her husband, A.J., and their son, James, and daughter, Ellie.
