2009 OVC Championship – Nov. 21 – Jacksonville, Ala.

JSU 3, Morehead State 0JACKSONVILLE - The Jacksonville State volleyball team rolled over Morehead State in the championship match of the 2009 Ohio Valley Conference Volleyball Tournament, earning its third trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last five seasons.

The top-seeded Gamecocks (26-6) used a dominant effort to hand the third-seeded Eagles (21-11) a convinc-ing 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-13) defeat and claim their third OVC Tournament Title since 2005. The win also gives JSU a Division I school record 26 wins and closes a perfect 12-0 record in Pete Mathews Coliseum this season.

Junior Caitlin Vorbeck was named the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player to headline three JSU selections on the All-Tournament Team. The Raytown, Mo., native knocked down 11 kills in the win to finish the tourney with 25 kills on a.309 attack percentage. Joining her on the All-Tourney Team were senior Brittney Whitten and sophomore Lauren Harkins.

Whitten, an outside hitter from Boonville, Ind., recorded a match-high 14 kills on a .281 attack percentage and picked up 12 digs in the final match. The effort was her 25th double-double of the season and helped extend what has been a decorated career. She wrapped up the weekend with 3.86 kills and 4.14 digs per set.

Harkins, a Louisville, Ky., native, picked up a match-high 16 digs in

Saturday’s win, following a semifinal match on Friday that saw her grab 31 digs. She wrapped up the weekend averaging 6.71 digs per set and stretched her school record for digs in a season to 625, 99 more than the

previous record set by Kisha West in 2005, JSU’s first NCAA Tournament season.

Freshman Jen Meyer also capped an impressive tournament with nine kill son a .615 attack percentage in the final. The Maineville, Ohio, native hit. 516 over the two tourney matches, averaging 2.71 kills per set. Junior Brooke Schumacher dished 36 of the Gamecocks’ 44 assists in the champi-onship match, finishing the tourney with an average of 10.5 assists per set.

With the win, the Gamecocks earned a pre-tournament matchup with Louisville, a match set up for the OVC Champion that serves as a tune up for the NCAA Tournament. They were selected as the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tallahassee, Fla., Regional, where they

were paired with Florida A&M in the first round.

Faced with a 2-1 deficit against the Rattlers, JSU rallied to win the final two sets and claim the Gamecocks’ first-ever NCAA Tournament win in the form of a 3-2 defeat of FAMU, their 12th-straight win in five-set matches. They would fall in the second round to No. 3 Florida State.

2006 OVC Championship-Nov. 18- Jacksonville, Ala.

JSU 3, Southeast Missouri 0The Jacksonville State volleyball team claimed its second-straight O’Reilly Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title, thanks to a 3-0 sweep of Southeast Missouri in the finals at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

The top-seeded Gamecocks (24-4) used their school-record 19th-straight win and their 21st sweep of the season to earn their second trip to the NCAA Tournament in as many seasons. They claimed a 3-0 (30-25, 31-29, 30-24) win over the sixth-seeded Redhawks (16-18) to take the OVC Tourney title on their home floor.

“This one is special in a different way because it is at home and in front of our home crowd,” JSU head coach and 2006 OVC Coach of the Year Rick Nold said. “It is totally different than last year in that we came in here as the favorite. It says a lot about our team, coming in on the winning streak and being able to stay focused and take care of business.”

Senior setter Emily Withers was named the tournament MVP to lead three Gamecocks on the all-tournament team. The team’s captain, Withers capped a senior season that saw the Cincinnati native break the school’s all-time assists record. She was joined on the all-tourna-ment team by juniors Joi Watts and Abbey Breit.

“Everybody knows that we are extremely close off of the court, and that definitely helps us on the floor,” Withers said. “It really hasn’t sunk

in yet. It’s hard to believe its my last year, and I couldn’t think of a bet-ter way to go out.”

In a hard fought match, the Gamecocks never led by more than seven in any game. They held the Redhawks to an .059 attack percentage on a day where JSU’s high-powered offense was limited to a .193 attack

percentage.

“We knew that they would make us work on defense with the way they move the ball around,” Nold added. “I thought we did a good job of being patient and taking advantage of our opportunities. Abbey Vierling and Jessica Starck did a great job on the back row for us, and Abbey Breit and Joi really stepped up for us from throughout the tournament.”

Five Gamecocks had 10 or more digs in the match to out-dig the Redhawks, 77-60. Freshman Brittney Whitten led all players with 18 digs, while junior Abbey Vierling added 16. Senior Jessica Starck had 15 digs, while Withers and Breit added 12 and 11, respectively.

Breit led all players with 19 kills, while Watts was the only other player on the floor with double-digit kills with 10.

2005 OVC Championship-Nov. 20- Charleston, Ill.

JSU 3, Eastern Kentucky 2 (ESPNU)The Jacksonville State volleyball team put its best effort on the floor when it mattered most, setting or tying 10 season highs in a 3-2 defeat of top-seeded Eastern Kentucky to earn the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title and its first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The third-seeded Gamecocks (18-10, 13-3 OVC) set season highs in kills (99), assists (97) and digs (132) to upend the Colonels (23-7, 14-2 OVC) in front of a national television audience on ESPNU, just one day after knocking off No. 2 Tennessee State in the tournament semi-finals.

“I don’t know if you could have asked for a better championship match,” JSU head coach Rick Nold said. “It was a match of two very good teams that were both play-ing well. It was just a matter of who was going to make the final run, and I’m just glad it was us.”

Senior outside hitter Suzi Terrell knocked down a career-high 35 kills on a .315 attack percentage en route to earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors, while junior Emily Withers dished out a school and OVC record 88 assists, 22 better than her previous career high to lead the offense.

Senior Kisha West joined Terrell on the All-Tournament team. The school’s all-time digs leader, topped the 30-dig plateau for the first time in her career with 39, one of five Gamecocks with double-digit digs.

The Gamecocks’ other senior, Kim Halbach contributed five kills, seven digs and five assists to extend her JSU career.

“I can’t say enough about the character of our three seniors,” Nold said. “ Thay all came out and gave us the best volleyball of their careers when it mattered most, and that says a lot about the type of competitors they are.”

Sophomore Abbey Breit, the Gamecocks’ other All-Tournament team member, recorded 23 kills, while sophomores Rebekah Nichols and Katie Moyers set career highs with 18 and 17 kills, respectively.

In the first game, the Gamecocks built an early five-point lead and main-tained it. The Colonels cut the lead to three at 22-19, but JSU answered

with seven unanswered points to help claim the 30-20 win. JSU recorded 30 team digs in the game, while Breit picked up seven kills on just 11 attacks for a .636 per-centage, while Terrell added six.

In game two, EKU took its first lead of the afternoon with a 7-6 advantage, and nine lead changes and 10 ties later they pulled out a 30-27 win to even the match at one. JSU recorded 24 kills in the game, five more than in the first, but 28 EKU digs paced the effort. Withers set the JSU attack, recording 22 assists.

A late rally and 25 kills that were set up by 23 more Withers assists led JSU to a 30-27 win in game three, moving the Gamecocks one game away from the title. Terrell put down nine kills in the game to lead a JSU attack that hit a collective .300 in the game.

EKU answered in game four on the back of a .241 team attack percentage and 18 kills to win 30-25 and tie the match at two games, apiece. Terrell added seven more kills for JSU, while West picked up eight more digs to pass the 30-dig plateau for the first time in her career.

In the final game, JSU jumped out to a 5-2 lead, but five consecutive Colonel points put JSU behind by two. The Gamecocks clawed back to reclaim the lead at 12-11 and held on to claim the final game and the tourney title with a 15-12 win.

The Gamecocks, who extended their win streak to 10, the second longest in school history, traveled to Knoxville, Tenn., for the NCAA Regional.

On July 7, 2011, Jacksonville State athletics director Warren Koegel announced University of Wisconsin-Green Bay assistant Joseph Goodson as Jacksonville State’s next head volleyball coach.

Goodson, who has spent the past four seasons at Green Bay, becomes just the Gamecocks’ fifth head coach in program history. He replaces Rick Nold, who spent nine seasons at the helm before leaving in the spring to take the head coaching ob at Auburn.

“We are very excited to have Coach Goodson join the JSU family and take over our volley-ball program,” Koegel said. “His passion for the game and experience in teaching the game should make him the perfect fit to continue the success that our volleyball program has come to expect each season, both on and off the floor.”

A 1986 graduate of Berry College in Mount Berry, Ga., Goodson has made several stops at different Division I programs while also continuing to work on the club circuit. While work-ing for head coach Debbie Kirch at Green Bay, Goodson was hands-on in all facets of the organization and administration of the Phoenix’ program. He was in charge of working with the Phoenix defense and outside hitters, as well as opponent scouting and recruiting.

“I would like to first thank President Meehan and Coach Koegel for this tremendous oppor-tunity and entrusting me with the future direction and leadership of the JSU Volleyball program,” Goodson said. “I am one of the truly fortunate people who get to do what they truly love, and are meant to do, for a living. I am looking forward to not only becoming an active member of the JSU family and Jacksonville community, but also continuing the rich tradition of academic and athletic success begun by Coach Nold and Coach Beam before me. Success in the classroom and on the court will continue to be the Gamecock Volleyball standard. We will work hard, play hard, and have a ton of fun!”

Most recently in 2010, he helped the Phoenix to eight Horizon League wins, the second-

most in program history. Also in 2010, Goodson coached at least one All-Horizon League player and one All-Newcomer honoree in each of the past three seasons. While with the Phoenix, he has also served as the head coach of the Fox Cities Elite Volleyball Club in Appleton, Wis., a club he guided to qualification for the USA Volleyball National Championships in each of the past three years.

Prior to his stint at Green Bay, Goodson served as a volunteer assistant at Georgia Tech for one season, a position he previously held at the University of Georgia. During his time in the Peach State, Goodson was very involved in the club volleyball scene. He was a coach for the Atlanta Juniors Volleyball Club from November of 2000 until April of 2006, a span in which he over-saw individual technical training and training of all outside hitters. He also helped guide the club to the 2004 USA Junior Olympic volleyball National Championships.

His roots in the Atlanta area date back to 1996, when he served on commit-tees for both the Atlanta Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. One year later, he served as the head coach and faculty advisor for the men’s volleyball club at Emory University.

A native of Randolph, N.J., Goodson received his bachelor’s degree in biol-ogy, psychology and physical education from Berry before moving on to the United State Sports Academy, where he earned his master’s in sports medicine in 1989.

He served as an assistant athletic trainer at Emory University for over six years before serving one season as a clinical athletic trainer at Georgia. He then moved to Morehouse College, where he was the head athletic trainer for almost six years.

Morgan Salow begins her first season at Jacksonville State after becoming head coach Joseph Goodson’s first hire on August 1, 2011.

Salow, a former standout at Wisconsin from 2005-08, gets her Division I coaching career started with the Gamecocks after serving as a head and assistant coach at the club level for the Capital Volleyball Academy in Madison and Stoughton, Wis.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to join the JSU coaching staff,” Salow said. “I feel fortu-nate to be able to start my career with such a great coach and person in Coach Goodson and I look forward to continu-ing the success of the JSU program together with this great group of girls.”

A native of Manchester, Iowa, Salow replaces for-mer assistant Abby Beam, who left the JSU program after the summer, and joins Goodson for his

first season as the fifth head coach in the program’s history. Her relationship with Goodson dates back to their club volleyball experience, as well as their time orchestrating several volleyball camps across the country.

“We are fortunate to have someone with Morgan’s playing experience on our staff,” Goodson said. “She is a very enthusiastic, young coach that has a variety of experience to offer us. She played all three front row positions in the Big Ten, and her background will really help up with recruiting in the Midwest.”

She comes to JSU after a three-year stint with the Capital Volleyball Academy, for whom she most recently served as the Capital 15 Navy Head Coach. Salow led that team to a top-five finish in the AAU National Championships and a top finish in the Badger Region. She served one season as the head

coach of the Capital 17 Elite squad and under Salow’s guidance, the 17 Elite squad landed a Top 15 fin-ish at the AAU National Championships, as well as a third-place finish at the Junior Volleyball Directors Association National Championships. She also served two seasons as an assistant coach within the Academy.

Salow has worked as a coach and counselor at several camps, including those at the University of Wisconsin and at Marquette University. She also worked Summer Team Camps for the Fusion Volleyball Club and Sports Performance Volleyball.

During her playing career with the Badgers, Salow played on three NCAA Tournament teams. She made and immediate impact as a freshman in 2005 and guided UW to the Elite 8. As a sophomore in 2006, she helped the Badgers to the Sweet 16 and then, in 2007, her junior season saw them host a regional after being ranked as high as No. 5 in the nation. Her first three seasons in Madison saw the Badgers win 26 matches in each campaign and post a combined 48-12 record in Big Ten play.

Salow received her bachelor’s degree from Wisconsin-Madison in 2010, where she majored in community leadership and family, consumer and community education.

She is a graduate of West Delaware High School in Manchester, Iowa, where she was an all-state volley-ball player that set the Hawks single-season records for kills and aces.

Former Gamecock outside hitter and middle blocker Joi Watts returns to the JSU volleyball program in 2011 to begin her first season as the team’s graduate assistant coach.

Watts, a native of Montevallo, Ala., graduated from JSU with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and wellness in 2007, the same year she finished her five-year career on the floor. She is currently pursuing her master’s in physical edu-cation, which she plans to finish in the spring of 2012.

She enjoyed a decorated career with the Gamecocks, helping them to two Ohio Valley Conference regular season crowns, two OVC Tournament titles and the school’s first two berths in the NCAA Tournament. In her career, Watts played in 83 matches and guided the Gamecocks to a combined 82-35 record and a 54-14 mark in conference play.

After redshirting her first season at JSU in 2003, Watts playing career began in 2004 by seeing time as a reserve. In 2005, she was a main reserve on the Gamecocks’ first OVC Tournament Championship team that advanced to face Tennessee in the school’s first NCAA Tournament.

As a junior in 2006, Watts and the Gamecocks went 24-5 and 16-0 in conference play, a run that saw them win an unprecedented 49 con-secutive sets. They would also win the league’s tournament, one that saw Watts earn All-Tournament Team honors after averaging 10.5 kills per match, and move on to face San Diego in the NCAA Tournament.

She won her final ring as a senior, when she helped JSU to an 18-10 record and a 15-5 OVC mark that won the Gamecocks’ second-straight regular-season title.

Watts has spent the past two years running vol-leyball camps at Montevallo High School in her hometown.

She is engaged to Garland Wilson and the couple has a son, Caileb.

Entering its 61st year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I confer-ence. In 2008, for only the second time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member. The move expanded the OVC’s geographi-cal footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003.

The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actu-ally planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athlet-ics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations direc-tor at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in

regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.

The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and vol-leyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble begin-nings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representa-tives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Dr. William A. Meehan begins his 12th year as President at Jacksonville State University, but his association with the University dates back to

when he enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968.

Dr. Meehan completed the Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1972 and began a career in education that same year. He earned the Master’s of Science degree in Biology at Jacksonville State University in December of 1976 and returned in January 1977 to serve as an instructor in the Department of Biology.

Dr. Meehan is well aware of the benefits of college athletics and what athletics adds to the college experience.

“I’m very proud of the fact that we have won 42 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and two Women’s All-Sports Trophy since joining the Conference in 2003,” said Meehan. “We have claimed conference titles in football, rifle, volley-ball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s golf , women’s golf, softball and baseball. We have enjoyed post-season competi-tion in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University. As a matter of fact, we have won 12 more OVC titles than any other school in the Conference since 2003.

“Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of compe-tition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher.”

In 2011 and beyond, Dr. Meehan hopes to more accurately accomplish the institution’s mission, which means integrat-ing traditional academic programs with career-oriented pro-grams for the students of Alabama. His vision for the future

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facili-ties and equip-ment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957 when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present).Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 392-acre campus with 63 buildings. In addition, the University operates an off-campus center in Gadsden and videoconferencing sites throughout Alabama and Northwest Georgia. Through its programs of teaching, research, and service, Jacksonville State University has served the region and state for more than 100 years.Academic Affairs JSU seeks to be recognized as the premier regional, comprehensive institution of higher learning in the Southeast. We aspire to be noted primarily for our focus on students, the provision of selected academic and professional programs recognized for their excellence, and a geographic and culturally diverse faculty and student body. Our educational programs are designed to prepare students for the marketplace of the future and citizenship in a world economy.
