Quote"I am pleased to join the Hardrocker volleyball and track and field programs at the School of Mines.Working with student-athletes and being able to coach has always been a dream of mine. I look forwardto assisting coach Tabbert and coach Schafer in building strong programs."

Coach Tabbert's Quote"I'm delighted that Beth will be joining our volleyball coaching staff. She played in one of the nation's trulyelite Division II programs and was an important member of a team that went 26-1 her junior year andadvanced to the Elite Eight her senior year. In addition, she was a head high school coach for six years,so she has had substantial experience as both a player and a coach. College coaching is her careerfocus, so I think she will be a true asset for both our volleyball program and our track and field program."

SDTech 2006 season preview

Coach Doug Tabbert's commentsabout the upcoming season:The 2006 season has the potential to be a solid season for us. We return virtually everyone from

last year's squad, so our level of experience this year compared to last year is substantially high-er. In addition, we have some newcomers that bolster our overall talent level significantly. Thisseason is truly a chance for us to improve our level of competitiveness in the DAC, and we needto step up and do that.

The biggest key to our success will be improved play at the net. With the exception of JennieMalone, who led the conference in hitting percentage in 2005 as a sophomore, we struggled to ter-minate offensively last season. That has to change this year if we are to compete in our confer-ence. Fortunately, we see signs of significant improvement in that aspect of our play. Junior trans-fer Agnieszka Koperek gives us an experienced outside hitter while sophomore Stephanie Carpiocontinues to emerge at that position. Freshman Katherine Hanson, who was a stand-out middle inhigh school, joins Malone and sophomore Amanda Cammack as the other leading offensive play-ers on our squad.

Our ball control should be solid this season. Jenny Hiykel was an impact player at libero for uslast year as a freshman, and she should be one of the premier defensive players in the DAC thisyear. Junior Quana Higgins gives us another solid defensive specialist after playing both setter andoutside hitter the past two years. Setter play is arguably our biggest strength going into the sea-son. Sophomore Tessa Howe and junior Jen Markoff both have starting experience, so I feel thatwe have both quality and depth at that position.

The DAC race is hard to call thus far. Dickinson State had a tremendous recruiting class, so theyshould be the clear favorite. After that, things are up in the air. Minot State and Dakota State, whofinished second and third respectively last year, both experienced substantial personnel losseswhile Valley City State and Mayville State both have new coaches. It could really be competitivefrom the second place spot on down.
