» Fleming was named Setter of the Year, the second in the history of the award that was started in the 2018 season. The senior led the conference in assists with 10.18 per set, a number that was also 42nd nationally. She led the Wolves to a .215 hitting percentage on the year, good for second in the conference. » White became the fourth UWG player to be named GSC Freshman of the Year, with West Georgia

winning the award in 2004, 2005, and 2006. She led the conference in hitting percentage at .390 and is currently 11th in the nation in that category.

2019 UWG Volleyball 2

HEAD COACH JON MOSELEYAfter a successfull opening campaign in Carrollton, Jon Moseley returns for his second year as the head coach of UWG volleyball in the fall of 2019.

Moseley joined the West Georgia family in 2018 following 12 years as the head coach at Shorter University in Rome, Ga., where he amassed a record of 85-25 against Gulf South Conference competi-tion over the past six seasons. He has compiled a 289-131 record during his 13-year tenure at Shorter and West Georgia, and he is the winningest coach in Shorter volleyball history. His team was the regular season GSC Champion in 2014 and 2016, and he was voted GSC Coach of the Year in 2016. In 2014, the Hawks reached the NCAA tournament in their first year of eligibility. Moseley’s first season at the helm of the UWG program was a massive step in the right direction for West Georgia volleyball. After four seasons of less than double-digit wins on the court at UWG, the Wolves won 11 matches, including a 5-11 mark against Gulf South Conference competition. The new-look Wolves announced their arrival with authority at the UAH Classic in Huntsville, Ala., beating LeM-oyne-Owen 3-0 in the season opener for Moseley’s first victory as the head coach at UWG. The Wolves did one better that evening, besting GSC foe and tournament host Alabama Huntsville in a non-confer-ence match, 3-1 to move to 2-0 on the year. In ad-dition, the 2018 West Georgia squad did something that no other UWG team has done, winning a match at the GSC-SSC Crossover. The Wolves beat Nova Southeastern 3-1 on the first day of competition, the first-ever win for UWG at that event.

In his tenure as a Division II volleyball coach, Moseley has defeated five teams ranked in the AVCA NCAA Division II Top-25 Coaches’ Poll, coached two NCAA All-Americans, 10 All-GSC performers, four Academ-ic All-GSC performers and had 87 GSC Academic

Honor Roll selections. The Honor Roll selections were the most of any league school during that period (2012-16). In 2012, Shorter’s volleyball team won the NCCAA South Region title, and took runner-up honors at the national tournament. In his first season as head coach in 2006, Moseley led the Lady Hawks to a 22-8 record, which at the time was the best mark in program history. For his efforts that year, Moseley was named the SSAC Coach of the Year.

In 2007, Moseley’s fifth-seeded Lady Hawks captured the program’s first SSAC Tournament championship and advanced to the NAIA Volleyball National Championship.

Prior to his collegiate experience at Shorter, Moseley was the head volleyball coach at Guntersville High School in Guntersville, Ala. At Guntersville, he coached his teams to back-to-back Alabama Group AAAA state championships in 2004 and 2005. Prior to his time in Guntersville, Moseley served as the head volleyball coach at Cherokee County High School in Centre, Ala. There, Moseley’s teams advanced to the Elite Eight six times, including Final Four appearances in 1998 and 2003, with trips to the state championship game in 1999, 2001 and 2002. He was named the Gadsden Times Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005 and the Marshall County Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2005.

Moseley graduated cum laude from Vanderbilt Uni-versity in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and a minor in Latin American Studies. He earned his Master of Education degree in Second-ary Education from Vanderbilt in 1998.

Moseley married the former Ana Oliver in the summer of 2011. In 2013, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ada Caroline and their second child, James Daniel, arrived in December of 2015.

Returning for her second season with the UWG program is assistant coach Anna Graham. Graham is a vital member of the team, coaching the middles and spend-ing time recruiting. Graham was a graduate assistant for Shorter

after her playing days, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychlogy in the fall of 2015. She then worked to obtain a Master’s Degree in Business Management. Following her graduation from Shorter’s business school, Anna went on to work at Gadsden City High School while main-taining a connection with volleyball by coaching several travel ball teams and doing camps across Alabama and

ASSISTANT COACH ANNA GRAHAM

Head coach Jon Moseley didn’t need to go far for an ad-dition to his staff for the fall of 2019, as he added a talented and experienced former player to joining the UWG Coaching staff for the 2019 volleyball season. Anna Metzler played collegiately at Dalton State College for three seasons before transferring to West Georgia to play in the fall of 2018. She played mostly as a libero last year as a senior for the Wolves.

GRADUATE ASSISTANT ANNA METZLER

Georgia throughout the summers. Graham is no stranger to Gulf South Confer-ence volleyball, as she was part of the transition from NAIA to NCAA play, and a member of a team that finished second in the Gulf South Conference twice in the regular season before being eligible for postseason play. In those two seasons, Shorter played in the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) national tournament, reaching the national finals in Graham’s sophomore year and the semifinals in her junior campaign. As a sophomore, Graham had 377 kills on the year, which ranked fifth in Shorter volleyball history. As a junior, she was a strong player on the front line for Moseley, leading the team in blocks and earning NCCAA All-Region honors. As a senior, Graham was finally eligible for postseason honors with the Gulf South Conference, earning All-GSC honors in leading the Hawks to win the regular season title in the first full year of eligibility and reaching the NCAA National Tournament.

GAME NOTES: POSTSEASON

2019 SEASON FACTS

RECORD BOOK WATCHSenior Madi Fleming is on the verge of moving into third place in the UWG career record books for assists. Earlier this season, she became the 10th setter in school history with 1,000 assists in a single season. She is 71 assists away from 3,000, and she is 76 assists from third place in the career record books. Wharton’s 62 aces are the most for a UWG player in the 25-point era and the sixth-most in school history regardless of era.

WHITE AND TERRELL ON THE BLOCKThe two freshman middles have been a major part of the return of West Georgia to the GSC tournament. White set a new single-match and single-season re-cord for blocks this season. She had 10 blocks against Shorter in the 2019 Gulf South Conference opener, setting a match record. She also had 116 blocks on the season, also setting a school record. Terrell tied the former record with 103 blocks, earning second team All-Conference honors.

REGION RANKINGSThe Wolves are very much in the mix for a potential spot in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, as West Geor-gia moved up to ninth in the most recent regional poll. That poll is used to determine the top eight teams for the South Region Tournament that will begin next week. The Wolves were 10th in the first two polls, moving up in the final regular season poll. West Georgia has been to the national tournament once, reaching that point in the 2007 season after winning the GSC Championship.

WHARTON SENIOR SEASONSenior outside hitter McKenna Wharton did not earn All-Conference honors, but it wasn’t for lack of effort. The Memphis native was among the UWG leaders in kills and digs, and she comes into the GSC Tour-nament tied for the lead nationally in service aces. No West Georgia player has ever finished a season leading the nation in a single category.
