LADY TOPPERS DANCING FOR FIFTH TIME IN LAST SIX SEASONSWKU has earned a spot in the NCAA Tournment for the second consecutive year and for the ! fth time in the last six seasons. 2015 is the program’s ninth overall appearance in program history. WKU’s ! rst appearance came in 2002 and the Lady Toppers hold a 1-8 record in NCAA postseason action. WKU advanced to the second round for the ! rst time in school history in 2012 with a sweep of Loyola Marymount in California.

TOURNAMENT TESTEDSo far this season, WKU has faced eight teams that made the NCAA tournament and have ! nished with a 6-2 record against them. The Lady Toppers earned victories over WIsconsin, Southern Illinois, Furman, Lipscomb, Belmont, Northern Iowa and fell to both Missouri State and Dayton.

SERIES HISTORYFriday’s meeting will be the ! rst-ever meeting between WKU and Arizona (19-13, 8-11 PAC-12). The Lady Toppers hold a 1-3 record against current PAC-12 schools with the lone victory coming over Arizona State in 2008. If WKU advances, the team could face either host and 13th-seeded BYU (26-3, 16-2 WCC) or MAchampions Ohio (25-7, 13-3 MAC) in the second round. WKU has never played BYU while Ohio holds a slim, 3-2 edge over the Lady Toppers in the series. The two teams last met in 2013 as Ohio earned a 3-0 victory over the Lady Toppers.

EIGHT IS GREATWKU enters the NCAA Tournament on a eight-match winning streak. Six of those victories have come in straight-sets with the other two lasting four sets. WKU is no stranger to long winning streaks as the Lady Toppers captured 17 consecutive matches beginning with a sweep over Big Ten foe Northwestern on Sept. 11 and ending with a ! ve-set loss to Rice on Saturday, Oct. 31. The Lady Toppers have not dropped a match since the setback to the Owls.

WKU CLAIMS C-USA REGULAR-SEASON AND TOURNAMENT TITLESIn its second year in the leage, WKU secured its ! rst outright C-USA Regular Season Championships by sweeping its ! nal ! ve matches of the regular season. Including its time in the Sun Belt Conference, the WKU volleyball program has 13 regular-season titles, as 10 SBC championships plus the back-to-back C-USA titles (2014,15) have come under head coach Travis Hudson. The team has taken the regular-season crown ! ve-straight years and 12 times in the last 15 years. After sharing the championship with UTSA in 2014, WKU earned the outright title in 2015 with a 15-1 regular season conference record.

WKU claimed its second consecutive C-USA Tournament title with a 3-1 victory over host UTSA in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday Nov. 22. WKU sophomore setter Jessica Lucas earned tournament MVP honors after leading the charge for the Lady Toppers all weekend. Senior Noelle Langenkamp and sophomore Sydney Engle were both named to the all-tournament team after strong play all weekend.

LEAGUE-BEST SIX LADY TOPPERS NAMED ALL-CONFERENCE, ALL-FRESHMANWKU had six selections to the C-USA All-Conference and All-Freshman teams, as Noelle Langenkamp, Alyssa Cavanaugh and Jessica Lucas were named to the ! rst team while Haley Bodway and Sydney Engle were named to the second team. Rookie Rachel Anderson earned a spot on the All-Freshman team.Since 2010, WKU has had no less than four Lady Toppers named All-Conference selections, as WKU’s six honorees leads all other C-USA teams. WKU leads all other conference teams with three-! rst team selections while Rice was the ony other team with multiple selections with two. Rice is second to WKU with ! ve All-Conference selections.

LUCAS NAMED SETTER OF THE YEARWKU’s Jessica Lucas was awarded with her ! rst Conference USA Setter of the Year honor as the sophomore helped guide WKU to a league-leading .315 team hitting percentage in conference matches. A three-time C-USA Setter of the Week honoree, Lucas ! nished second in the conference in both assists per set (11.06) and total assists (1,195). An all-around performer for WKU, Lucas leads the Lady Toppers with 13 double-doubles, including seven in conference play. Lucas had a pair of 50+ assist outings, ! nishing with 53 assists and 13 digs against UTSA and totaling a career-high 56 assists and 11 digs vs. North Texas.

ANDERSON NAMED TOP FRESHMANFor the second consecutive year a WKU player took home Conference USA Freshman of the Year honors as Lady Topper rookie sensation Rachel Anderson took home the award following an excellent freshman campaign on The Hill. A starter in all 56 sets in conference play, Anderson ranked ! fth on the team with 111 kills (1.98/set) and second with 43 total blocks (0.77/set). The middle hitter was awarded as the league’s Freshman of the Week on September 28 after ! nishing with 11 kills on .375 hitting against Marshall and tallying a .615 hitting percentage against LA Tech.

Hope for Harlie

Harlie Bryant has not lived a typical eight-years-old’s life. Though she is active and lively, Harlie has been through a lot after being diagnosed with a brain tumor behind her eyes in the spring of 2011. Since then, Harlie has had CT scans, MRIs, surgeries, chemotherapy and more. With everything going on in her life, though, Harlie has kept a positive spirit.

Harlie’s positive spirit is now being spread throughout the WKU Volleyball program after the Lady Toppers and Harlie were joined by the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ), a charitable, non-pro� t organization that strives to enhance and strengthen the support system built around children with pediatric brain tumors. Through the program, adopted children become part of the team and build unique friendships. Children also gain an incredible group of caring role models to look up to when they need the extra support.

Harlie is now a Lady Topper. At every home game, she is with the team in the huddle and at introductions while she cheers with her family from the sidelines during the game. The team’s secret weapon, she is a constant reminder to the WKU student-athletes and coaching sta� to keep � ghting no matter what stands in the way.

For more information about Harlie and her journey, visit HopeForHarlie.org and follow on Twitter via @HopeforHarlie.

Friends of Jaclyn Foundation

In 2004, nine-year-old Jaclyn Murphy was diagnosed with a medullo-blastoma, a malignant brain tumor. While undergoing treatment, she was inspired by a large framed photo on the hospital wall of a joyful, young woman lacrosse player celebrating her team’s NCAA championship.

In 2005, two unrelated friends of the Murphy family told Northwestern University’s Lacrosse coach about Jaclyn’s story and asked them if they could help. The team promptly adopted Jaclyn as an honorary member. Jaclyn’s strength, courage, relentless spirit and joy for life inspired everyone. The team began to play for Jaclyn and achieved a magical “perfect season,” winning Northwestern’s � rst NCAA championship in 64 years. Just three years after the program started, Jaclyn even predicted the � nal score, 13-10, in the championship � nal.

When Jaclyn was in the middle of the team’s celebration, her parents realized that Jaclyn’s relationship with the players - her adopted sisters - had a positive e� ect on her happiness and health. The Northwestern players knew that their relationship with Jaclyn had opened their eyes and hearts to a deeper appreciation for life.

Soon afterward, Jaclyn shared a big dream with her father. She wanted other children with pediatric brain tumors to have similar experiences of being honorary team members. The Murphys understood that it is ultimately the love and support of others that gives people the inspiration and courage to get through this challenging journey.

In 2005, Denis and Lynda Murphy started The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ) to improve the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors and their families by pairing them with college and high school athletic teams. The FOJ program has grown incredibly to over 300 children who have been adopted by high school and college teams across the country.

HUDSON EARNS SIXTH COACH OF THE YEAR HONOROn the heels of guiding WKU to the program’s sixth consecutive 27+ win season and � fth-straight regular season conference championship, WKU head coach Travis Hudson captured his sixth conference coach of the year award of his career. The honor is Hudson’s � rst since WKU joined Conference USA in 2014 as he previously took home the award � ve times when the Lady Toppers were a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

PASSING THE 500TH WIN MILESTONEOverall, the 2015 C-USA Championship is Hudson’s 12th regular season title since 2000. The program’s all-time winningest coach, Hudson earned his 500th career victory in WKU sweep of Colgate earlier this year. Now in his 21st year at WKU, Hudson holds an impressive .729 winning percentage with an overall record of 528-195.

BACK-TO-BACK FIRST TEAM SELECTIONS FOR SOPHOMORE DUOSophomores Alyssa Cavanaugh and Jessica Lucas earned First-Team All-C-USA honors for the second time in their relatively short college careers. Cavanaugh has proven to be one of WKU’s most potent o! ensive weapons as the outside hitter leads WKU in total kills (383) and kills per set (3.30). In league action, Cavanaugh has recorded 175 total kills and a 3.12 kill per set average. A three-time C-USA Setter of the Week honoree this season, Lucas has been a steady force all year long for the Lady Toppers. The Seymour, Indiana, native leads WKU and ranks � rst in C-USA with an 11.20 assists per set average.

HALEY ‘THE HAMMER’ COMING UP BIG FOR THE LADY TOPSSenior Haley Bodway was named to the C-USA Second Team for the � rst time in her carer. Bodway joined Langenkamp in WKU’s 1,000-kill club in WKU’s three-set victory at UTEP earlier this season. The veteran ranks fourth on the team in C-USA action with 234 kills (2.25/set) and led the Lady Toppers with 15 solo blocks in conference play. A season-highlight for the outside hitter came when she produced a season-high 15 kills to lead WKU past UTSA in four sets.

ENGLE SHINES Sydney Engle has emerged as one of WKU’s most e! ective hitters as the sophomore was named to the All-C-USA Second Team for the � rst time in her career. Engle ranks third on the team with 245 total kills. The Floyds Knobs, Indiana, native had a great e! orts against Rice and Southern Miss, � nishing with 12 kills against the Owls and a .611 hitting percentage (11 kills on 18 swings) against USM. Engle shined in the C-USA Tournament as she led WKU with 35 kills on the weekend and recorded her � rst double-double of her career with 15 kills and a career-high 10 digs against UTSA in the title match.

NATIONAL RECOGNITIONThe Lady Toppers moved up to 20th in the most recent AVCA Coaches Top 25 released this past Monday. It marks the eighth consecutive week the Lady Topper have been ranked. Earlier this season, WKU also owned the No. 20 spot after defeating then-� fth-ranked Wisconsin and capturing the 2015 HotelRED Invitational. The program’s highest ranking came in 2013 when the Lady Toppers were slotted at No. 15. WKU’s RPI improved to No. 13 in the NCAA’s most recent RPI rankings.

TOP 10 IN THE NATION IN BOTH HITTING PERCENTAGE, OPPONENT HITTINGWKU comes into NCAA play ranking in the top 10 in the nation in both hitting percentage and opponent hitting. The Lady Toppers rank 5th with a .296 team-hitting clip and rank 8th after allowing its opponents a .149 clip.

ACCURATE LANGENKAMP CONTINUES BLOCK PARTYFirst-Team All-C-USA selection Noelle Langenkamp has been WKU’s most accurate o! ensive weapon so far this season as the veteran leads the Lady Toppers with a .387 hitting clip. Langenkamp ranks third in Conference USA and 34th nationally. Her .387 hitting clip currently ranks seventh in single season program history. For her career, the senior ranks fourth in program history in both hitting percentage (.357) and total blocks (396). She is tied for third with 306 block assists and is in � fth place with 90 solo blocks. Langenkamp is currently in seventh place with an average of 0.87 blocks per game.

STATEMENT VICTORIESWKU opened the 2015 season by earning a four-set victory at then-� fth ranked Wisconsin in front of 4,000+ fans in the UW Fieldhouse. UW � nished the seasoan 26-4 and is the No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. WKU � nished 3-0 on the year against teams from the Big Ten and SEC after victory over the Badgers and sweeps of both Northwestern and Alabama. 2015 marks the second straight year a WKU beat a ranked foe as the Lady Tops defeated then No. 16 Purdue in 2014.
