RED RAIDERS LOOK FOR FIRST WIN AT KANSAS Texas Tech will look to wrap the first half of Big 12 play with a win Saturday evening when the Red Raiders travel to Lawrence, Kan. to face the Kansas Jayhawks at 6:30 p.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

THE SERIESSaturday’s match will be the 32nd all-time between the two schools with Tech holding a slight 16-15 advan-tage in the series. Kansas has won seven of the last eight meetings, though, with Tech’s lone victory coming on Oct. 2 last year when the Red Raiders snapped a 64-straight conference losing streak with a 3-2 win in Lubbock. Tech is just 7-9 all-time when playing in Lawrence with its last victory coming on Sept. 26, 2006.

LOOKING AHEADThe Red Raiders return to the United Spirit Arena next Wednesday night to battle the Baylor Bears in a 6:30 p.m. match. Tech will then take the following Saturday (Oct. 29) off before traveling to face Texas A&M on Nov. 2 in College Station.

FLORA ALREADY SUCCESSFUL IN LAWRENCEDespite having never coached a match in Lawrence, Kan., Tech head coach Don Flora has already found quite a bit of success in the Sunflower State. Flora met his wife, Jeanne, in Lawrence while she was a graduate student at the University of Kansas. Jeanne Flora is now a highly-regarded professor in the field of Family and Interpersonal Communications as she teaches online for New Mexico State University.

DOWDY MOVES TO SECOND ALL-TIME IN KILLSAmanda Dowdy took one more step up the Texas Tech record book against Texas A&M, moving to second all-time in career kills early into the second set. The senior finished with 22 kills in the match, giving her 1,350 over her career. She passed Melissa McGehee, who totaled 1,333 kills from 1999-2002. After starting the year ranked fifth in kills, Dowdy is now second in the category as well as career attempts. Only Kelly Johnson stands in her way of moving even further up the school charts as Johnson notched 1,925 career kills and 5,142 attempts during the 2001-04 seasons.

RED RAIDERS THREE WINS SHY OF FIRST WINNING SEASON SINCE 2001Tech’s magic number to ensure a winning season is at three entering Wednesday night’s match at Texas. Tech still has nine conference matches left and one non-conference matchup remaining at San Jose State. The Red Raiders’ last winning season came in 2001 when Tech finished 18-14 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE STANDINGS

BREAKING ANOTHER STREAKFor the second-straight season, the Red Raid-ers will be trying to snap a losing streak against the Jayhawks as Tech entered last year’s opening match in Lubbock riding a 64-straight conference losing streak. Tech defeated the Jayhawks that night to break the streak but later fell in three sets when the Red Raiders traveled to Lawrence. The Red Raiders’ losing streak this year is significantly lower, though, as Tech has dropped six-straight and seven-straight in Big 12 play.

TECH DROPS ANOTHER HEARTBREAKERThe Red Raiders dropped their second five-set match during Big 12 play Wednesday night as Texas A&M escaped with a 15-13 victory in the final frame to keep Tech winless in league action. Tech came close to defeating 22nd-ranked Okla-homa in Lubbock on Oct. 1 but could not convert two match points, allowing the Sooners rally and earn the victory. The Red Raiders are 1-2 in five-set matches this year with their lone win coming at New Mexico.

PASS AND SERVE, PASS AND SERVEAfter totaling just two aces in its last three matches prior to facing Missouri, Tech has recorded 10 in its last two contests against Missouri and Texas A&M. The Red Raiders notched seven against the Tigers, its third-highest total this season, before drop-ping three against the Aggies. Tech had struggled, though, giving up aces of its own, surrendering 10 to Missouri and three to A&M. The Red Raiders also recorded nine service errors in both matches, giv-ing both squads additional points in close sets.

RANGEL MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE BLOCKDravon Rangel has provided some relief to a Tech front row during the absence of Aubree Piper as the sophomore has 36 blocks during Big 12 play for a 1.44 per set average that is ranked second in the league. Rangel has posted six blocks each in four of Tech’s last five matches with the lone exception being at Texas last week. The Grand Prairie, Texas native is averaging 1.59 blocks per set this season which is easily the highest ratio in the conference.

TECH AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS IN BLOCKSThe Red Raiders enter this week’s matches current-ly ranked fifth nationally in blocks per set as Tech had a 3.07 average prior to the A&M match. Tech has been ranked as high as second this year, while middle blocker Mikia Mills is currently tied for 73rd overall with a 1.13 per set average and right-side Miara Cave is a spot below in a tie for 80th with a 1.12 ratio. Fellow middle blocker Dravon Rangel has not currently played in enough matches to ap-pear in the rankings.

GETTING THE SWAGGER BACKPart of head coach Don Flora’s message to the Red Raiders this week has been to stick with the plan and get back to the confidence Tech showed during the non-conference schedule. Tech has already defeat-ed two squads ranked in the top 100 of this week’s RPI rankings (New Mexico and Morehead State) and came close to knocking off 22nd-ranked Oklahoma a few week back in Lubbock.

DAVID COMING ALONG AS OF LATEDespite being one of Tech’s regular go-to options on the attack, Breeann David has stepped up her productivity over the last seven matches, finishing in double-digits in five of those. The freshman is av-eraging right at 11 kills per match during that span after dropping 13 last weekend at Missouri and 11 on Wednesday against Texas A&M.

DOWDY NOT JUST AN OFFENSIVE PLAYERIf Amanda Dowdy has proved one thing this season, it would be that her impact isn’t only felt on the at-tack. The senior is Tech’s leader in kills and trails Tory Vaughan by 15 digs for the team high in that statistic as well. One of the Big 12’s top performers in both categories, Dowdy has posted a double-double in 16 of Tech’s 22 matches so far, giving her 30 for her career. She is currently ranked third in the confer-ence with 4.18 kills per set and then ninth with a 3.47 digs per set average. Vaughan ranks seventh in the league with 3.63 digs per set.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKESTo say that all facets of Tech’s game have improved under head coach Don Flora might be an under-statement. The Red Raiders have drastically im-proved their numbers from a year and are on pace to surpass those totals by the end of the season. Here’s a breakdown at Tech’s statistical comparison through 21 matches from last year to this season: 2010 2011Kills 848 975Assists 788 907Aces 45 98Digs 914 1,079Blocks 166.5 237.0Points 1,059.5 1,310.0

MEYERS MOVING UP RECORD BOOK TOOKarlyn Meyers moved into sole possession of sixth on the school’s career assists chart during the Texas match. Only the eighth player in school history to reach 2,000 assists in a career, Meyers passed Emily Ziegler (2004-07) as she has now dished 2,552 as-sists during her four seasons. There is a significant gap between Meyers and Sheila Solomon (1987-90) for fifth all-time as Solomon totaled 3,307 assists during the sideout scoring era.

THIS WEEK IN THE BIG 12MATCH NOTES

BIG 12 WEEKLY AWARDS



Senior Amanda Dowdy will not only be looking to end her Texas Tech career off on a high note this year, but she will also be chasing several program records.

The Lexington, Texas native entered the year fifth all-time in career kills and sixth in career attacks. Dowdy is only the eighth player in school history to reach 1,000 kills over a career as she recorded 1,041 over her first three seasons.

Dowdy also joined the top 10 last year on the sin-gle-season charts as her 424 kills ranked 10th all-time and her 1,286 attempts was sixth all-time. She also set the single-match record for kills a year ago as she finished with 37 against Colorado on Oct. 13 before nearing the feat again against the Buffaloes,

MATCH NOTES

TECH AMONG TOP 100 IN FIRST RPI POLLTech was among the top 100 schools listed in the inaugural ratings percentage index poll released by the NCAA. The Red Raiders were picked 93rd overall, a step up from previous seasons when Tech would not have been among the top 100 ranked.

NOTABLESu Texas Tech’s 14 wins this year marks the school’s most in a single-season since going 14-15 during the 2002 season. u Tech has already surpassed its win total from the 2008-10 seasons combined as the Red Raiders won 11 games during those three years.u The Red Raiders have broken the 10-win barrier for the first time since the 2006 season when Tech finished 12-17 under Nancy Todd. u Tech is 11-5 in games away from Lubbock this season. The Red Raiders had not won at least 11 away or neutral site contests since 2000 when Tech finished with 12 wins away from Lubbock. u The Oklahoma match marked the first time Tech had taken a ranked opponent to five sets since falling to the Sooners, 3-2, on Oct. 11, 2006 at home. u The Red Raiders’ win over New Mexico was Tech’s 14th-straight over a non-conference oppo-nent, the school’s longest such run since winning 22-straight over the course of the 1996-97 seasons. Tech still has one non-conference match remaining Nov. 15 at San Jose State. u The Red Raiders have held their opponents to a combined .130 hitting percentage so far this sea-son, which is the lowest in the Big 12. Iowa State currently ranks second as its opponents are hitting .154 followed by Oklahoma at .168. u The North Texas match snapped a seven-match streak where the Red Raiders had claimed a 3-0 sweep. The run was Tech’s longest since opening the 1998 season with eight-straight sweeps. u Texas Tech’s win over UT-Arlington marked the program’s third tournament title of the season, a feat that had not been previously accomplished since the 2000 season. u Tech has also held four of its opponents to a negative hitting percentage, which prior to the year had not been accomplished since facing Northwestern State on Sept. 2, 2010.

RECORD WATCH: DOWDY CHASING SEVERAL MILESTONES IN 2011

FLORA MAKING QUICK CHANGES TO TECHPrior to his arrival, Texas Tech had only 11 wins over its last three seasons. Don Flora surpassed that total in mid-September. Now, the first-year head coach is aiming to put Tech in the midst of the Big 12 race as the Red Raiders have only won three conference matches during the past three years.

LESS ERRORS, BETTER RESULTSTech will be aiming to post a higher hitting percent-age this week than it has in its five Big 12 matches thus far as the Red Raiders are only hitting .155 in league action as opposed to its .221 average this season. Tech had 40 errors combined in its two loss-es against Kansas State and Texas and totaled 25 last weekend at Missouri and 27 against Texas A&M.

OPENING SET A KEY FOR TECHThe Red Raiders have found success this season when opening the match with a first-set victory as Tech is 13-1 when doing so. Where Tech has strug-gled is overcoming an early deficit as the Red Raid-ers are only 1-7 when dropping the opening set.

TECH SELECTED FOR TWO TV APPEARANCESTwo of Tech’s home matches will be broadcast lo-cally by Ramar Communications. The Red Raiders’ matches against Texas A&M (Oct. 19) and Texas (Nov. 9) will be aired on Fox News Now, which is channel No. 9 on Suddenlink in the Lubbock area.

TECH FACES TOUGH START TO BIG 12 PLAYThe Red Raiders had a rough start to Big 12 play over the last few weeks as Tech fell to 16th-ranked Iowa State on Sept. 24 and then No. 25 Oklahoma on Oct. 1. Tech was a point away from defeating the Sooners as the Red Raiders failed to convert on two match points, allowing OU to eventually make a comeback and escape with the win. Baylor and Kansas State kept Tech’s struggles going as the Red Raiders were swept in both matches.

VAUGHAN SNAPS CAREER HIGHTory Vaughan snapped her career high in digs for the second time this season against Oklahoma, to-taling 26 over five sets. Her previous high had been the 21 digs she notched against Morehead State in the finale of the Texas Tech Invitational. It marked the third time Vaughan had broken the 20-dig bar-rier this season.


TEXAS TECH VOLLEYBALLRED RAIDERS SCORE COME-FROM-BEHIND WINTech’s come-from-behind win over New Mexico marked the second time this season the Red Raiders had overcome a deficit on the road. After winning the first set, Tech dropped the next two games before rallying to win the final two in the Red Raiders’ first five-set match of the year. Tech had previously overcome an early one-set deficit to defeat North Texas on Sept. 19 in Denton.

NEW MEXICO WIN BOOSTS TECH’S RKPITech’s win over New Mexico moved the Red Raid-ers up 13 spots in the Richard Kern Percentage Index (RKPI), which is similar to the RPI used by the NCAA. The Red Raiders came into the match ranked 108 out of 327 schools. The win was Tech’s second over a top 100 opponent as Morehead State came into the week ranked 83rd, 10 spots behind New Mexico.

RANGEL STEPS UP AT NEW MEXICODravon Rangel not only moved back into the start-ing lineup at New Mexico, but she also played a huge part in Tech’s 3-2 victory. The sophomore, who was starting in place of Aubree Piper, deliv-ered a school-record 14 block assists in the match, breaking the previous single-match record of 11 that was last set by current director of operations Amy Gandy on Nov. 15, 2006 against Iowa State.

RED RAIDERS BREAK BLOCKING MILESTONETech snapped a 19-year-old school record at New Mexico with 37 block assists against the Lobos, sur-passing the previous milestone of 36 that was set against Utah State on Sept. 10, 1982. The Red Raid-ers finished with a season-high 19.5 blocks in the match as opposed to New Mexico’s six total.

IOWA STATE SNAPS TECH’S WINNING STREAKIowa State snapped the Red Raiders’ 13-match win-ning streak with a 3-0 victory in Tech’s Big 12 open-er. The loss ended Tech’s longest run since the 1996 season where the Red Raiders got off to a 15-0 start. Tech, which had not lost a match since the season opener at TCU, dropped its fourth-straight Big 12 opener, falling to 6-10 in conference open-ers.

TECH OPENS CONFERENCE ATOP STANDINGSAfter a successful start to the season, Tech began Big 12 action atop the conference standings for the first time since 1997 with a 13-1 record. The Red Raiders, who were also 13-1 at that point, finished the 1997 season 23-11 overall, barely missing out on the NCAA Tournament.

FLORA JOINS ELITE COMPANY IN RECORD BOOK When then athletics director Gerald Meyers hired Don Flora last January, he knew he was getting a proven head coach with an impressive record. Flora has proved Meyers’ pick to be a solid choice as Tech is 13-1 on the year, the best record through 14 matches for a first-year head coach in school history. The California native passed Donna Mar-tin, who led Tech to a 12-2 start in 1985 as the Red Raiders eventually ended the year 19-9 overall. Flora entered the year as one of the winningest coaches all-time in NCAA history after compiling a 269-59 record over 11 seasons at the University of La Verne in California.

AVCA TOP 25 POLLform. The duo won a combined 11 games over their first three seasons, one less than Tech’s total so far this year. Don Flora marked the fourth head coach to lead the duo as the co-captains started their careers under Nancy Todd in 2008. Now, Dowdy and Meyers are off to one of the best seasons in school history while both are also climbing the Tech record book in several categories.

TEXAS TECH BOOSTS OFFENSE WITH SERVEOne of Don Flora’s areas of improvement early in the season was Tech’s serving ability after the Red Raid-ers posted double-digit error numbers twice in their first three matches. Tech has used the serve to its advantage as the Red Raiders have totaled 98 aces so far, nearly twice as more than the 2010 season.

TEXAS TECH INVITATIONAL MARKS A FIRSTThe Red Raiders’ tournament win last weekend at the Texas Tech Invitational was the program’s first since it claimed the North Texas Tournament to start the 2008 season. Tech had also not won its own home tournament since 2004 when the Red Raiders defeated UTPA, UTEP, and North Texas as part of the Red Raider Classic.

DAVID ADDS TO WEEKLY AWARD WINNERSBreeann David became the second Texas Tech player to earn a Big 12 weekly award this week as she was named the conference Rookie of the Week on Mon-day. David joins teammate Aubree Piper as a weekly award winner after Piper earned Defensive Player of the Week honors a week ago. It marked the first time in school history that two different players had been honored in the same season.

PIPER HONORED ON BIG 12 WEEKLY AWARDSPrior to Tuesday night’s match at Texas-Pan Ameri-can, sophomore Aubree Piper was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week for her performance during the Texas Tech Invitational. Piper finished with 21 blocks to go along with 15 kills on the weekend, matching her single-game highs for total blocks and block assists in the pro-cess. No Tech player had been previously honored with a Big 12 weekly award since Amanda Dowdy was named the conference Rookie of the Week on Sept. 15, 2008.

DOWDY LEADS TECH ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMAmanda Dowdy was one of three Red Raiders named to the Texas Tech Invitational all-tournament team as the senior picked up most valuable player honors. Fellow senior Karlyn Meyers and junior Miara Cave were also honored as the Red Raiders claimed the tournament title following a 3-0 weekend.

DOWDY, CAVE MAKE ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAMTexas Tech senior Amanda Dowdy and junior Miara Cave were both named to the TCU Invitational All-Tournament team after leading the Red Raiders to a second-place showing.

MORE BALANCE, BETTER RESULTSIf there was one consistent variable in Tech’s open-ing weekend, it would be that the Red Raiders have more balance on offense. The trio of Amanda Dowdy, Miara Cave, and Breeann David all had at least 10 kills each in both of the first two matches. In the process, Tech’s hitting percentage rose to a .256 average over three matches, including a .388 mark against UConn, the Red Raiders’ highest attacking percentage since defeating South Florida in three sets on Sept. 9, 2006.

BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL

TECH IN NCAA STATS



DAVID JOINS ELITE COMPANYSince the Red Raiders joined the Big 12 in 1996, no Tech freshman has begun her career with double-digit kill figures in back-to-back matches. That is until Breeann David. The Denver City product fin-ished with 11 kills against TCU and followed with 14 the following day against UConn. David finished with a .500 hitting percentage against UConn as she was 14-for-24 on the attack en route to posting Tech’s highest individual hitting percentage since Barbara Conceicao recorded a .526 average on Sept. 11, 2009 against Gonzaga.

FRESHMAN GET VALUABLE TIME AT TCUOne thing Don Flora wanted to see while at TCU was how his young team of mainly freshmen and sophomores would respond in a competitive at-mosphere. After Tech easily defeated Grambling State in the opening set, Flora went with a lineup to start the second frame that consisted of all fresh-men. Tory Vaughan was the only Red Raider junior or senior to see action over the match’s final two sets as Tech played all 17 players that traveled that weekend.

DOWDY NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 Senior Amanda Dowdy was recognized prior to the season as Tech’s only selection on the Preseason All-Big 12 team. Dowdy was among the top offen-sive players in the conference a year ago en route to be selected to the All-Big 12 first team following the season. This marks the second-straight season Dowdy has been honored on the preseason and first as a unanimous selection.

MEYERS ADDS EXPERIENCE AT SETTERWith such a young roster, the Red Raiders will rely on senior setter Karlyn Meyers at the setter posi-tion. A two-year starter, Meyers is one of the most-accomplished setters in school history as she is already among the top 10 all-time in career assists and assists per set average.

RED RAIDERS WILL BE YOUNGTexas Tech will be one of the younger teams in the country as 15 of the program’s 21 players are listed as either a freshman or sophomore. Two of the squad’s six upperclassmen, juniors Ciara Gibson and Kelly Chiffer, will both redshirt this season, giv-ing the Red Raiders only four upperclassmen on the court - seniors Amanda Dowdy and Karlyn Meyers and juniors Miara Cave and Tory Vaughan.

FLORA ADDS VETERAN ASSISTANT IN CORONELOne of the first things Don Flora said he wanted once he arrived at Texas Tech was to hire another proven assistant. He got his wish when Jojit Coronel compiled the Tech staff. Coronel, the head coach at George Washington the previous 10 seasons, joins fellow assistant Beth Falls and director of operations Amy Gandy.

CAVE PRIMED FOR STELLAR JUNIOR SEASONWhen asked who his most improved player was at the end of spring, Don Flora did not have to hesitate to say Miara Cave. Flora’s has described Cave’s spring as “going back to the basics” as the junior primarily worked on her footwork. The result has been a new-found confidence for Cave, who will be looking to improve on last season’s numbers where she was second on the team with 176 kills.

DAVID LOOKS TO FOLLOW FAMILY LEGACYBreeann David’s commitment to Texas Tech last spring not only gave the program one of the top recruits in the country, but it continued a family leg-acy. David’s mother, the former Megan McGuire, was a standout volleyball athlete for Tech in the 1980s while her father, Stan David, starred on the football team during the same time before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 1984 NFL Draft. Both her mother and aunt, Susan Kelly McGuire, are still among the top 10 in school history of every block-ing category. David’s older sister, Leah David, is also the team’s student manager.

VAUGHAN RETURNS TO LIBERO POSITIONTory Vaughan will return to the libero position this season for the first time since she was a freshman. The now-junior spent the 2010 as a defensive spe-cialist, playing in all 29 matches while finishing fourth on the team with 147 digs. Vaughan played in all but two matches as a freshman, totaling 143 digs in the process, third-highest on the team.

RED RAIDERS BOAST 12 NEWCOMERSSoon after his hire, Don Flora immediately hit the recruiting trail, traveling all over the country trying to build the Tech roster. The hard work paid off as the Red Raiders boast 12 newcomers to this year’s roster, including nine high school prospects.

RANGEL BACK IN ACTION AFTER INJURYDravon Rangel will be back in action for the first time in almost a year this week as the redshirt sophomore missed almost all of last season with a knee injury. Rangel played in two matches of the season-opening Rice Tournament before receiving a medical redshirt at the conclusion of the season. Rangel will be making her return nearly 15 minutes from her hometown of Grand Prairie.

RED RAIDERS ADD SETTER TRANSFER, HRAGYILTech added depth to the setter position last spring as Nicole Hragyil became the first commitment of the Don Flora era, joining the program at midterm just in time to participate in spring drills. Hragyil adds depth for the Red Raiders as she will join Brandy Huskey as a backup to Karlyn Meyers. Both Hragyil and Huskey will also see time as a back row specialist.

TECH PICKED TO FINISH NINTH IN BIG 12 PLAYThe Red Raiders did not receive the preseason vote of confidence they hoped for as Tech was picked to finish last in the nine-team Big 12 Conference. Texas was picked to win the conference champi-onship in a vote of the league coaches. Iowa State and Oklahoma followed in a tie for second.

MATCH NOTES



DONFLORA

Head CoachFirst Season • University of La Verne ‘90

Through 11 years as a head coach, Don Flora has become one of the winningest coaches in

NCAA history. He hopes to continue that tradition in his first season at Texas Tech after being named the eighth volleyball coach in school history on Jan. 7, 2011.

One of the top coaching prospects in the country following the 2010 season, Flora arrives at Tech with a 269-59 career record during his 11 seasons as the head coach at the University of La Verne in California.

Entering the 2011 season, Flora currently ranks as the 12th winningest coach all-time among those with 10 years of experience at any level of NCAA play. His .820 career winning percentage is 15th among active coaches with five years of experi-ence and third all-time at the Division III level.

The California native comes to Tech following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at New Mexico State where the Aggies, consistently one of the top programs nationally, compiled a 38-22 record. Flo-ra was responsible for recruiting activities, practice instruction and game strategy and was involved in the daily development of the overall program un-der head coach Mike Jordan.

The desire to eventually become a head coach at the Division I level was enticing enough for Flora to leave his alma mater at La Verne following the 2008 season. Already the winningest coach in school his-

tory, Flora established a winning culture unmatched by many as the Leopards recorded only one losing season during his tenure - his first season in 1998.

La Verne posted at least 20 wins in nine-straight seasons beginning in 2000 as the Leopards claimed nine-straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles. During Flora’s tenure, the Leopards were 140-10 in SCIAC matches, boasting an impressive .933 winning percentage. La Verne posted undefeated 14-0 campaigns in league play five times in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008.

As the success kept building early in Flora’s tenure, so did the achievements at the national level. In only Flora’s fourth season, the Leopards wrapped a near-perfect 27-1 season with the 2001 NCAA Division III National Title, the second in school history.

The title run earned Flora the Division III National Coach of the Year honor by both the American Vol-leyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and Volleyball Magazine. He was also named the AVCA West Re-gion Coach of the Year, an award he was presented three more times in his tenure following the 2003, 2005, and 2008 seasons.

With a national title under his belt, Flora’s success kept rolling as the Leopards eventually posted their first 30-win season in 2003, which began a streak of three-straight seasons where La Verne advanced to the NCAA Final Four. The Leopards posted a school-record 33 wins a season later.

The Leopards posted 27 wins in each of Flora’s final three seasons at the school, which culminated in another national title match appearance in 2008. Unlike 2001, however, La Verne was topped in the championship, falling to Emory in four sets.

The match ended up to being Flora’s final one with the Leopards, wrapping a successful tenure that in-cluded a 25-8 mark in NCAA Tournament matches. La Verne wrapped the year ranked in the top 10 na-tionally for the ninth-consecutive season which had only been done by two other programs during that span.

During his tenure, Flora coached two national play-ers of the year in Ryan Winn (2001) and Amy Smith (2003) along with seven SCIAC Players of the Year and numerous AVCA All-America selections.

Flora actually got his start in coaching with the La Verne men’s program in 1993, leading the squad for five seasons while also assisting with the women’s program that was under renowned coach Jim Pas-chal at that time. He would take over as the head coach of the women’s team prior to the 1998 season. As if coaching was not enough, Flora was also in-volved with another significant arm of the athletics department – fundraising. He was named the Assis-tant Athletics Director in charge of Development in 1994, a position he would hold until 2007.

Flora graduated with a degree in social sciences from La Verne in 1990 before later returning to the classroom to earn his masters in the Leadership and Management curriculum.

While volleyball is his main focus now, Flora chose to be a three-sport athlete while in school, competing on the football, tennis and volleyball squads where he was a two-time all-conference setter.

In his spare time, Flora is heavily involved the USA High Performance along with various club circuits and junior development programs in the south-west region and across the nation. His multi-fac-eted summer camps are among the nation’s finest youth programs and have become a popular event in Lubbock since his arrival.

Flora, a native of Covina, Calif., and his wife, Jeanne, currently reside in Lubbock with their two daugh-ters, Annika and Alexis.

Jeanne Flora is a highly-regarded professor in the field of Family and Interpersonal Communications. She will continue to teach via video teleconference for New Mexico State where she has worked the past two years.
