Home Cooking
The starting line and potential finish line for the Cardinals’
2012 NCAA Tournament journey both happen to be Louisville.
Louisville will host the first and second round in the KFC Yum!
Center from Nov. 29-30. Should Louisville advance all of the way
to the Final Four, the Cardinals will return back to the KFC Yum!
Center which is the site for this year’s championship.
Hosting Early Rounds Lead to Regionals
This week will mark the 10th time in program history Louisville
has hosted the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals sport a 7-5
record when hosting. In addition, three of the Cardinals’ four
Sweet Sixteen appearances (‘96, ‘98, ‘05) have came in years when
Louisville hosted the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
Louisville Looks to Improve NCAA Mark
Louisville enters this season’s tournament with a 14-22 mark all-
time. The Cardinals have advanced past the first round 10 times
including five straight from 2001-05 and in each of the past two
seasons.
Three BIG EAST Teams Make NCAA Tournament
The BIG EAST Conference will be making a strong presence in
the NCAA Tournament. Three teams from the conference made
the NCAA Tournament in Louisville, Marquette and Notre Dame.
The three berths ties the conference record for most teams selec-
tion to participate in the NCAA Tournament. Three BIG EAST
teams made the NCAA Tournament in 2006, 2009 and 2011. No
BIG EAST team has advanced past the third round in the current
64-team format.
Frequent Members
Louisville is one of 19 programs with at least 20 NCAA Appear-
ances. Texas A&M earned their 20th berth this season after both
Illinois and Ohio State earned their 20th NCAA berth last season.
In addition, Louisville is making its 15th straight NCAA tourna-
ment appearance which is the ninth-longest active streak.
Anne Kordes Notches Another Milestone
Head coach Anne Kordes became the first U of L volleyball coach
to lead the squad to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances
in her first two years as a head coach. Last season she became just
the second head volleyball coach at Louisville to make an NCAA
appearance in her inaugural season.
Thursday’s a Rarity
Louisville will be playing its first Thursday match since 2002. Louis-
ville swept Arkansas in its last Thursday match.
Back-to-Back
Belmont becomes Louisville’s third opponent in program history to
square off against the Cardinals in back-to-back matches. Louisville
faced Cincinnati twice on Oct. 3, 1981 before taking on Florida
State twice on Nov. 23, 1982.
Rucker Named CVU.com National Player of the Week
The Collegiate Volleyball Update named Gwen Rucker its National
Player of the Week on Tuesday for her performance in leading
Louisville to the BIG EAST Championship. She became Louisville’s
second player to earn this honor after Lena Ustymenko won in
2005.
Closing in on 30
Louisville enters the week with 29 wins and is seeking its first 30-
win season since 2005. The Cardinals only have four 30-win seasons
in program history. The record for most wins in a season is 39 set in
1982.
Rucker Erupts at BIG EAST Championship
After recording 13 kills on 15 swings on Friday in the quarterfinals
of the BIG EAST Championship, Rucker had just as impressive of a
match on Saturday against Cincinnati in the semifinals. Against the
Bearcats, Rucker exploded for 15 kills on 17 swings with just two
errors. It was good for a .765 hitting percentage. On Sunday, Rucker
set a career-high with six digs and also hit .400 on the day.
For her performance, Rucker was named the MVP of the BIG EAST
Championship. For the three-day tilt, Rucker had 38 kills on 52
swings with just four errors. She hit .654 for the weekend.
Trio Named to All-Tournament Team at BIG EAST
Championship
Gwen Rucker was named the MVP and Lola Arslanbekova and
Cailtin Welch joined Rucker on the All-Tournament team at the
conclusion of the BIG EAST Championship.
Louisville Wins BIG EAST Championship
For the first time as a member of the BIG EAST Conference,
Louisville won both the regular season and tournament titles.
Louisville became the first team to accomplish this since St.
John’s in 2007. It marked the 15th time a BIG EAST school won
both the regular season and tournament. It also gave Louisville
its 25th conference title between regular season and tournament
accolades.
BIG EAST Record Falls
Louisville’s Gwen Rucker smoked St. John’s for 13 kills on 15 swings
with no errors for an astounding .867 hitting percentage. The mark
set a new BIG EAST record. Georgetown’s Sara Albert held the mark
since the adoption of rally scoring in 2001. Albert hit .812 against
Seton Hall on Nov. 17, 2002 a record that stood for nearly 10 years.
Digging In
Junior libero Caitlin Welch set the all-time school record for most
digs against Cincinnati on Nov. 11. Six days later, also against
Cincinnati, Welch set the all-time single season record in digs.
Welch finished with 12 digs in the match after only needing 11 to
pass director of operations Sarah Drury Petkovic who had 534 digs
in 2002.

Blocking Machine
Louisville tied its season-high with 15 blocks against St. John’s on
Friday. Previously, Louisville had 15 blocks at Connecticut on Oct.
14.
Firing on All Cylinders
Louisville recorded its second straight match with a hitting
percentage over .400. Louisville hit .407 against the Red Storm after
a .429 outing against Cincinnati on Nov. 11. Louisville also hit above
.400 against Georgetown on Nov. 4, finishing at a season-best .430.
Volleyball Honored With Major Awards
Multiple Cardinals received awards at the BIG EAST banquet
held in Milwaukee prior to the BIG EAST Championship. Senior
Lola Arslanbekova was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year.
Arslanbekova became the first recipient of the award in back-to-
back years since Notre Dame’s Jaimie Lee won in consecutive years
from 1996-97. In addition, Arslanbekova was the first four-time
All-BIG EAST First Team member since Marcela Gurgel from USF
who was a recipient from 2006-09. Arslanbekova was one of three
unanimous selections to the All-BIG EAST First Team.
Anne Kordes was honored as the co-BIG EAST Coach of the Year.
It marked the fourth time Kordes was honored as coach of the year
with the previous three coming at St. Louis.
Senior Gwen Rucker joined Arslanbekova on the All-BIG EAST
First Team while juniors Brooke Mattingly and Caitlin Welch were
honored on the All-BIG EAST Second Team.
Nine and Counting
Since becoming a member of the BIG EAST Conference in 2005,
Louisville has won nine conference championships. Below is a
year-by-year look at how Louisville has fared in the BIG EAST:

2006: Tournament Champion
2007: Co-Regular Season Champion
2008: Tournament Champion
2009: Tournament Champion
2010: Tournament Champion
2011: Regular Season Champion
2012: Regular Season Champion & Tournament Champion
Louisville Wins Regular Season Title
The Cardinals lived up to expectations this season by capturing
solo possession of the BIG EAST regular season title after
sweeping Cincinnati and getting help with a Marquette sweep over
Notre Dame on Sunday. Louisville was picked to win the regular
season crown by the coaches in the pre-season coaches’ poll.
Preseason Favorite Fares Well at BIG EAST Championship
The preseason favorite has had success in the BIG EAST
Championship since the inception of round-robin play in 1990.
Over the past 23 seasons, the preseason favorite has advanced
to the finals of the BIG EAST Championship 21 times after
Louisville’s sweep over Cincinnati.
Cardinals Rank Third in BIG EAST Championships
The Cardinals have captured five BIG EAST Championship titles
since joining the conference in 2005. Despite being relatively
new to the conference, Louisville ranks third all-time behind
Pittsburgh who has 11 and Notre Dame who has nine.
Cards Post Fourth 14-1 Finish in Conference Play
With Louisville’s sweep over Cincinnati on Sunday, the Cardinals
finished 14-1 in the BIG EAST regular season. It marked the fifth
time Louisville only dropped one match in conference play as a
member of the BIG EAST Conference. The Cardinals previously
finished 13-1 in conference play from 2005-07 and in 2011.
The Elite 2,000/1,000 Club
Lola Arslanbekova is only the 16th NCAA Division I volleyball
player since 2004 to record over 2,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a
career. She is also the only active player to hold this distinction and
the first to reach this milestone since Alix Klineman. Klineman
played at Stanford from 2007-10 and snuck in with 2,008 kills and
1,125 digs. Eastern Michigan’s Rachel Iaquaniello is the closest active
player having 1,949 kills and 1,282 digs through Nov. 19.

Louisville Enters Week at No. 9 in AVCA Coaches Poll
The Cardinals moved up a spot once again in this week’s poll to
No. 9. It is the third time the Cardinals have been ranked in the
top 10 this season.
The Cardinals received 28 points in the Division I AVCA Coaches
Preseason Poll released on August 13th.
After a dominating demolition of then-No. 10 Kentucky and the
Cardinal Classic title, the University of Louisville volleyball team
cracked the top 25 for the first time this season. Louisville checked
in at No. 24 on Sept. 3 -- the first time Louisville has been in the
AVCA Top 25 since the 2007 season.
After convincing wins over then-No. 11 Purdue and then-No.
20 Illinois in the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge, the Cardinals
solidified their spot in the top 25 and jumped from No. 24 to No.
12 in the rankings on Sept. 10. The No. 12 ranking is the highest
in program history since the Cards were ranked No. 12 during
the 2006 season. The 12-spot increase is the highest increase this
season in the AVCA Coaches Poll.
Louisville jumped two spots to enter the top 10 in the Sept. 17
AVCA Coaches Poll. The No. 10 ranking marks the first time since
the Cards were ranked in the top 10 since being ranked No. 9 on
Dec. 5, 2005. In addition, it marks the 14th time overall the Cards
have been in the top 10. The previous 13 came during the 2005

Cards Amongst Nation’s Consistent Programs
Louisville has built its volleyball program into one of the most
consistent programs in the nation. Louisville has had a winning
record every year since 1988, a mark good for the ninth most
consecutive winning seasons since 1981. Below is a look at how
the Cards stack up (streak through 2011 season):
No. Team Years
1. 31 Hawai’i 1981-current

A New Record Holder
Senior outside hitter Lola Arslanbekova entered the season with
1,553 career kills, a mark good for third all-time in program
history. This season, Arslanbekova has already notched 559
kills to give her 2,112 for her career. The senior surpassed Lena
Ustymenko for the all-time program leader in kills against Rutgers
on Oct. 7. In order for Arslanbekova to break into the top 25
all-time in the NCAA she needs to reach 2,241. Svetlana Vtyurina
holds the all-time NCAA record of 3,043. Vtyurina played for

Just the sixth coach in Cardinal history, Louisville native and former
Cardinal volleyball star, Anne Kordes, embarks on her second season
as the head volleyball coach at her alma mater, the University of Lou-
isville. As the current president of the American Volleyball Coaches
Association, she will bring the sport back to her hometown when
Louisville hosts the NCAA National Volleyball Final Four.
“We were so thrilled to welcome one of our own back,” said U of L
Vice President for Athletics Tom Jurich. “She has an excellent coach-
ing pedigree and is well-known as a tireless recruiter. She took us to
a conference championship and the Sweet Sixteen as our setter, she
began her coaching career as an assistant in the Big Ten, and has taken
Saint Louis to record heights as their head coach. I’m always looking
for a good fit with any additions to our staff and this one’s a natural.”
In her first season at the helm, Kordes coached the Cardinals to a
24-9 record and the BIG EAST Regular Season Championship led by
conference Player of the Year, Lola Arslanbekova. The Cardinals made
their 22nd appearance in the NCAA and then saw Arslanbekova join
the nation’s elite as an AVCA Third Team All-American.
In seven seasons at Saint Louis, Kordes led the Billiken volleyball
program to unparalleled success, including three NCAA Tournament
appearances. Her squad was selected as the “All-Sports Trophy Cham-
pion” as the top I-AAA women’s volleyball program in the country by
the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association in 2008. Individu-
ally, she is a three-time Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year,
and in 2008 she garnered CVU.com (Collegiate Volleyball Update)
National and AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year plaudits.
“I would like to thank Tom Jurich and Julie Hermann for this oppor-
tunity to head one of the best volleyball programs in the country,” said
Kordes. “ I would like to thank Coach Yelin for his years of hard work
and dedication to Cardinal volleyball that has positioned the program
to take a shot at a national championship, which is my dream. The fact
that my dream job is in my hometown is just icing on the cake, because
we have top notch facilities, great administrative leadership located

HEAD COACH ANNE KORDES
in a vibrant volleyball community that is incredibly supportive of our
team.”
In all, she has coached 14 All-Conference first team honorees, 13
AVCA All-Region picks, 13 A-10 All-Touranment designees, seven
conference All-Rookie selections, six Academic All-Conference hon-
orees, two A-10 Rookie of the Year picks and two A-10 Championship
Most Outstanding Player recipients. Her teams had a combined 59-10
league record over her last five seasons at SLU. In the BIG EAST, she
had three All-Conference first team honorees, two AVCA All-Region
Picks, one AVCA All-American, one All-BIG EAST Tournament mem-
bers and the BIG EAST Player of the Year.
Kordes ranks among the elite coaches in the game. With a career
record of 170-84 (.670), she is 41st on the Division I volleyball win-
ningest active coaches list. Kordes, the only coach in SLU’s program to
lead her teams to four straight 20-win seasons, was the 2009 recipi-
ent of the Missouri Athletic Club’s Carl O. Bauer Award. The award is
presented annually to the top amateur sports figure in the St. Louis city
area.
Kordes’ teams have annually played some of the strongest sched-
ules in the country. SLU finished the 2008 season No. 8 on the NCAA
Women’s Volleyball RPI, playing seven teams that finished among the
RPI’s top 25. The 2009 campaign saw the Billikens finish 27th in the
RPI.
In her final season at SLU, Billikens had a 19-win campaign in 2010
with signature wins against Wake Forest, Xavier and Utah. In 2009,
SLU earned an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA)
preseason ranking (No. 20) for the first time ever. In the 2009 season’s
opening weekend, a school-record 6,106 fans turned out for SLU’s Ac-
tive Ankle Challenge finale versus top-ranked and defending national
champion Penn State. Over the next two weeks, the senior-laden
Billikens battled four more teams ranked among the AVCA top 15,
collecting a win over No. 10 California. Saint Louis earned the highest
ranking in program history the following week, coming in at No. 16 on

Sept. 7.
SLU rolled through its 2009 regular-season conference slate, amass-
ing a 14-1 record to earn a share of the A-10 crown. The Billikens
finished 24-8 overall, made its third NCAA Tournament appearance
in four seasons after being awarded the program’s first at-large bid in
2009. Kordes, Sammi McCloud and Whitney Roth swept A-10 Coach,
Player and Setter of the Year laurels, respectively, for a second straight
season.
Kordes’ 2008 team finished 29-5 overall and enjoyed a historic cam-
paign. Early in the season SLU upset No. 3 Stanford 3-1 and then broke
into the Top 25 for the first time in program history on Oct. 20 in the
25th spot. The Bills remained in the Top 25 for the rest of the season,
finishing at No. 21. Saint Louis put together a program-best 21-match
winning streak that featured a 13-0 finish in the A-10 regular-season
race and went on to capture the A-10 Championship and their second
NCAA Tournament bid in three seasons. Thirteenth-seeded Saint
Louis earned the first NCAA Tournament victory in program history, a
3-0 first-round win over Alabama A&M in Lexington, Ky.
In addition to their 2008 team successes, Kordes’ players garnered
numerous kudos. Topping the list of individual honors was the selec-
tion of four Billikens to the 2008 AVCA All-America teams and Kordes
was named Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons.
Roth picked up her second straight Setter of the Year accolade and Mc-
Cloud became the first Billiken volleyball student-athlete to be selected
Player of the Year. SLU had a league-record four players named to the
A-10 first team.
In 2007, Sutton Lasater, McCloud and Roth were named to the All-
Conference first team. Roth went on to garner A-10 Setter of the Year
accolades.
The 2006 campaign featured a number of firsts as Kordes led the Bil-
likens to a share of the A-10 regular-season crown, the program’s first
A-10 Championship title and SLU’s first berth in the NCAA Tourna-
ment. Her peers recognized her performance by selecting her as the
A-10 Coach of the Year.
In her first season at the helm of the Billiken program in 2004, the
Bills finished with 15 wins, with one of the season’s highlights occur-
ring when the Billikens ended Cincinnati’s 23-match home winning
streak. Kordes also coached the first All-American in program history
as Aida Antanaviciute earned AVCA honorable mention laurels.
Kordes began her coaching career in 1999 when Indiana hired her
as an assistant coach. However, her stay in Bloomington was short-
lived as she had an opportunity to take the recruiting position at the
University of Illinois under former U of L head coach Don Hardin.
Kordes then spent the next six seasons with the Fighting Illini, serving
as the top assistant from 1999-2003 and coaching two All-Americans.
During her stint, the Illini qualified for the NCAA Tournament three
times and posted a 90-61 record. In 2003, Kordes helped them to a
26-7 record, the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and a No. 15 final
ranking.
Kordes has exhibited leadership within the AVCA, where she is pres-
ident-elect. She will be president for the 2012 season that will culmi-
nate at the Final Four which will be held in Louisville at the KFC Yum!
Center. From 2006-08, she was a member of the Northeast Region
Ranking Committee and the region’s All-America Committee. Kordes
was named chair of the Northeast Region All-America Committee in
2009 and since then has been a member of the national All-America
Committee. She is also a member of the newly formed AVCA Coaches
for Coaches Committee.
Kordes has been visible on the national coaching scene, serving as a
coach for USA Volleyball summer programs. In 2010, she was tabbed
lead head coach for the U.S. Girls’ Select A1 National Team, which
competed at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships.
She was an assistant coach for the USA Volleyball Girls’ Youth National
Team, which competed at the 2007 FIVB Girls’ Youth National Cham-
pionships in Baja California, Mexico.
In 2000, she was the assistant coach for the Youth National Team,
and in 2001 she was an assistant for the Junior National Team. Kordes
served as an assistant in 2002 and 2003 for the National A2 Collegiate
Program. During the summer of 2003, she served as the assistant coach
for the High Performance #2 team, the head coach for the High Perfor-
mance #3 team and the head coach for the Youth National A3 team.
Kordes was the only college coach named as an assistant for the USA
Junior National Team in 2004. She had an opportunity to coach some
of the nation’s best young players and accompanied the squad to an
international tournament played in Ankara, Turkey, in 2005. Kordes
was also tabbed an assistant coach in 2006 and 2009 for the USA Select
Team. She helped with the team’s training and competition at the USA
High Performance Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Kordes’ pursuit of coaching was influenced by her father, Ron,
who has coached at the grade school, high school and club levels in
Louisville. He coached his daughter at Assumption High School before
she moved on to the University of Cincinnati. Kordes was named the
1994 Great Midwest Conference Newcomer of the Year, set the league
record for assists by a sophomore with 1,575 and was named second-
team All-Conference USA. After a two-year stint with the Bearcats, she
transferred to the University of Louisville.
As a senior, Kordes led Louisville to the C-USA Tournament cham-
pionship and the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals
were ranked as high as No. 21 and finished with a 29-5 slate. She closed
her career with 4,874 assists, 886 digs and 128 service aces and was a
three-time All-Conference USA selection.
Not only was Kordes a standout athlete, but she also excelled in
the classroom. She was a member of the Louisville Athletic Director’s
Honor Roll every semester and was a Red and Black Scholar-Athlete.
Kordes was twice selected to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
Kordes received her bachelor’s degree in athletic administration from
Louisville in 1998, and she earned a master’s degree in athletic admin-
istration from Louisville in 2001.

SID: KEVIN SMITH | GOCARDS.COM | @UOFLVOLLEYBALL Home Cooking The starting line and potential finish line for the Cardinals’ 2012 NCAA Tournament journey both happen to be Louisville. Louisville will host the first and second round in the KFC Yum! Center from Nov. 29-30. Should Louisville advance all of the way to the Final Four, the Cardinals will return back to the KFC Yum! Center which is the site for this year’s championship. Hosting Early Rounds Lead to Regionals This week will mark the 10th time in program history Louisville has hosted the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals sport a 7-5 record when hosting. In addition, three of the Cardinals’ four Sweet Sixteen appearances (‘96, ‘98, ‘05) have came in years when Louisville hosted the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Louisville Looks to Improve NCAA Mark Louisville enters this season’s tournament with a 14-22 mark all- time. The Cardinals have advanced past the first round 10 times including five straight from 2001-05 and in each of the past two seasons. Three BIG EAST Teams Make NCAA Tournament The BIG EAST Conference will be making a strong presence in the NCAA Tournament. Three teams from the conference made the NCAA Tournament in Louisville, Marquette and Notre Dame. The three berths ties the conference record for most teams selec- tion to participate in the NCAA Tournament. Three BIG EAST teams made the NCAA Tournament in 2006, 2009 and 2011. No BIG EAST team has advanced past the third round in the current 64-team format. Frequent Members Louisville is one of 19 programs with at least 20 NCAA Appear- ances. Texas A&M earned their 20th berth this season after both Illinois and Ohio State earned their 20th NCAA berth last season. In addition, Louisville is making its 15th straight NCAA tourna- ment appearance which is the ninth-longest active streak. Anne Kordes Notches Another Milestone Head coach Anne Kordes became the first U of L volleyball coach to lead the squad to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in her first two years as a head coach. Last season she became just the second head volleyball coach at Louisville to make an NCAA appearance in her inaugural season. Thursday’s a Rarity Louisville will be playing its first Thursday match since 2002. Louis- ville swept Arkansas in its last Thursday match. Back-to-Back Belmont becomes Louisville’s third opponent in program history to square off against the Cardinals in back-to-back matches. Louisville faced Cincinnati twice on Oct. 3, 1981 before taking on Florida State twice on Nov. 23, 1982. Rucker Named CVU.com National Player of the Week The Collegiate Volleyball Update named Gwen Rucker its National Player of the Week on Tuesday for her performance in leading Louisville to the BIG EAST Championship. She became Louisville’s second player to earn this honor after Lena Ustymenko won in 2005. Closing in on 30 Louisville enters the week with 29 wins and is seeking its first 30- win season since 2005. The Cardinals only have four 30-win seasons in program history. The record for most wins in a season is 39 set in 1982. Rucker Erupts at BIG EAST Championship After recording 13 kills on 15 swings on Friday in the quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Championship, Rucker had just as impressive of a match on Saturday against Cincinnati in the semifinals. Against the Bearcats, Rucker exploded for 15 kills on 17 swings with just two errors. It was good for a .765 hitting percentage. On Sunday, Rucker set a career-high with six digs and also hit .400 on the day. For her performance, Rucker was named the MVP of the BIG EAST Championship. For the three-day tilt, Rucker had 38 kills on 52 swings with just four errors. She hit .654 for the weekend. Trio Named to All-Tournament Team at BIG EAST Championship Gwen Rucker was named the MVP and Lola Arslanbekova and Cailtin Welch joined Rucker on the All-Tournament team at the conclusion of the BIG EAST Championship. Louisville Wins BIG EAST Championship For the first time as a member of the BIG EAST Conference, Louisville won both the regular season and tournament titles. Louisville became the first team to accomplish this since St. John’s in 2007. It marked the 15th time a BIG EAST school won both the regular season and tournament. It also gave Louisville its 25th conference title between regular season and tournament accolades. BIG EAST Record Falls Louisville’s Gwen Rucker smoked St. John’s for 13 kills on 15 swings with no errors for an astounding .867 hitting percentage. The mark set a new BIG EAST record. Georgetown’s Sara Albert held the mark since the adoption of rally scoring in 2001. Albert hit .812 against Seton Hall on Nov. 17, 2002 a record that stood for nearly 10 years. Digging In Junior libero Caitlin Welch set the all-time school record for most digs against Cincinnati on Nov. 11. Six days later, also against Cincinnati, Welch set the all-time single season record in digs. Welch finished with 12 digs in the match after only needing 11 to pass director of operations Sarah Drury Petkovic who had 534 digs in 2002.

It marked the first time a Cardinal had 30 or more digs in a single match since director of operations Sarah Drury Petkovic had 35 against USF on Nov. 16, 2002. Common Occurence The five-set heartbreak loss to Notre Dame left Louisville with a 1-1 mark in BIG EAST play after the opening weekend. However, it followed the Cards’ pattern. It marked the third time Louisville started off conference play with a 1-1 mark. The Cardinals beat Connecticut before falling to St. John’s in 2008 and swept Rutgers before losing to Seton Hall in 2010. Unbeatable Louisville has not dropped a conference opener as a member of the BIG EAST Conference. Tanya Lukyanenko Named to BIG EAST Honor Roll - Sept. 17 Senior Tanya Lukyanenko was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Sept. 17 for her roll in leading Louisville to the Louisville Invitational title. Lukyanenko averaged 2.36 kills per set and hit an astonishing .481 (26 kills, 1 error, 52 total attacks) on the week. She also led the Cards with 1.09 blocks per set.

SID: KEVIN SMITH | GOCARDS.COM | @UOFLVOLLEYBALL The Train is Rolling Louisville had its 10 match win streak snapped by Notre Dame on Sept. 23. It was the longest win streak in the Anne Kordes era of Louisville volleyball. Previously Louisville won seven straight matches to open up BIG EAST play last season. Louisville’s last win streak of nine or more matches occurred in 2008 when the Cards rattled off 11 straight wins between Oct. 24 - Nov. 29. Starting the Weekend Off Right Louisville has made a habit of starting the weekend off on the right track this season. In 12 Friday matches, the Cards have notched nine sweeps and have only dropped four sets. Double-Edged Sword Traditionally, Lola Arslanbekova is more well-known for amassing kills in bunches. However, the senior’s defensive skills have improved dramatically during her tenure at Louisville. Throughout her career, Arslanbekova has five matches in which she had more digs than kills. Below are Arslanbekova’s matches in which she has more digs than kills: Opponent Date Digs Kills Kentucky 9/7/11 13 5 Pittsburgh 11/18/11 20 16 Purdue 12/3/11 11 10 Middle Tennessee 9/14/12 15 11 UNLV 9/15/12 17 15 Trio Honored at End of Louisville Invitational Senior Lola Arslanbekova was named the MVP of the Louisville Invitational while senior Kaitlynn James and junior Brooke Mattingly also earned all-tournament accolades.

The reigning BIG EAST Player of the Year averaged 5.25 kills and 4.0 digs per set during the week en route to two double-doubles. Friendly Confines Louisville played its first “true” road matches of the season at USF and Pittsburgh. Twelve of Louisville’s first 14 matches this season were played in the KFC Yum! Center with the other two being held at neutral sites. Louisville Having Best Year Since 2005 The Cardinals enter the week at 29-3 which is the best mark in program history since the 2005 squad finished 31-3. Duo Accumulate Honors at BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge Lola Arslanbekova and Cailtin Welch were named to the All- Tournament team at the conclusion of the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge. In addition, Arslanbekova was named the tournament’s most valuable player. Arslanbekova tallied 42 kills and 32 digs in wins over Purdue and Illinois while Welch added 39 digs. Louisville Devours Big Ten The University of Louisville volleyball team took down then-No. 11 Purdue and then-No. 20 Illinois in the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge in Cincinnati giving Louisville three wins over ranked opponents this season. The Cardinals became the first BIG EAST team to win the challenge since the Bearcats in 2010. Over the Hump Louisville crushed then-No. 11 Purdue on Sept. 7 in the opener of the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge to claim its first win over the Boilermakers in 11 tries.

Arslanbekova notched two double-doubles during the Cardinal Classic while averaging 4.8 kills per set and 3.4 digs per set. Mattingly averaged 1.5 kills per set while hitting .467. Rucker added 2.3 kills per set, 1.3 blocks per set and had five aces. Third Set Woes Last season, the University of Louisville volleyball team posted a 1-8 record when dropping the third set.

However, Louisville has fallen in the third set in two of its three losses this season. 175 and Counting University of Louisville head volleyball coach Anne Kordes notched her 175th career win during the Cards’ sweep over Marshall on Sept. 1. Currently, Kordes has 199 career wins.

In addition, Louisville held Marshall to a -.058 mark on Sept. 1, Rutgers to a .000 mark on Oct. 7 and Villanova to a .000 mark on Nov. 2. Single Digit Sets Louisville held Marshall to nine points in the first set of their win on Sept. 1.

Not Shying Away The University of Louisville volleyball team has seen some top- quality opponents over the past three years. The match against No. 3 Penn State marked the third straight year the Cardinals have faced a top five opponent. Previously, Louisville faced then-No. 5 Illinois in 2010 and then-No. 3 Illinois is 2011. Both matches against Illinois came in the BIG EAST/Big 10 Challenge. No. 9 Texas marked Louisville’s third top 10 opponent this season. Fresh Faces For 10 of the past 11 years, the Cardinals have had a freshman in their opening day line-up.

As the current president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, she will bring the sport back to her hometown when Louisville hosts the NCAA National Volleyball Final Four. “We were so thrilled to welcome one of our own back,” said U of L Vice President for Athletics Tom Jurich. “She has an excellent coach- ing pedigree and is well-known as a tireless recruiter. She took us to a conference championship and the Sweet Sixteen as our setter, she began her coaching career as an assistant in the Big Ten, and has taken Saint Louis to record heights as their head coach. I’m always looking for a good fit with any additions to our staff and this one’s a natural.” In her first season at the helm, Kordes coached the Cardinals to a 24-9 record and the BIG EAST Regular Season Championship led by conference Player of the Year, Lola Arslanbekova. The Cardinals made their 22nd appearance in the NCAA and then saw Arslanbekova join the nation’s elite as an AVCA Third Team All-American. In seven seasons at Saint Louis, Kordes led the Billiken volleyball program to unparalleled success, including three NCAA Tournament appearances. Her squad was selected as the “All-Sports Trophy Cham- pion” as the top I-AAA women’s volleyball program in the country by the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association in 2008.

Kordes, Sammi McCloud and Whitney Roth swept A-10 Coach, Player and Setter of the Year laurels, respectively, for a second straight season. Kordes’ 2008 team finished 29-5 overall and enjoyed a historic cam- paign. Early in the season SLU upset No. 3 Stanford 3-1 and then broke into the Top 25 for the first time in program history on Oct. 20 in the 25th spot. The Bills remained in the Top 25 for the rest of the season, finishing at No. 21. Saint Louis put together a program-best 21-match winning streak that featured a 13-0 finish in the A-10 regular-season race and went on to capture the A-10 Championship and their second NCAA Tournament bid in three seasons. Thirteenth-seeded Saint Louis earned the first NCAA Tournament victory in program history, a 3-0 first-round win over Alabama A&M in Lexington, Ky. In addition to their 2008 team successes, Kordes’ players garnered numerous kudos. Topping the list of individual honors was the selec- tion of four Billikens to the 2008 AVCA All-America teams and Kordes was named Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons. Roth picked up her second straight Setter of the Year accolade and Mc- Cloud became the first Billiken volleyball student-athlete to be selected Player of the Year. SLU had a league-record four players named to the A-10 first team. In 2007, Sutton Lasater, McCloud and Roth were named to the All- Conference first team. Roth went on to garner A-10 Setter of the Year accolades. The 2006 campaign featured a number of firsts as Kordes led the Bil- likens to a share of the A-10 regular-season crown, the program’s first A-10 Championship title and SLU’s first berth in the NCAA Tourna- ment. Her peers recognized her performance by selecting her as the A-10 Coach of the Year. In her first season at the helm of the Billiken program in 2004, the Bills finished with 15 wins, with one of the season’s highlights occur- ring when the Billikens ended Cincinnati’s 23-match home winning streak. Kordes also coached the first All-American in program history as Aida Antanaviciute earned AVCA honorable mention laurels. Kordes began her coaching career in 1999 when Indiana hired her as an assistant coach. However, her stay in Bloomington was short- lived as she had an opportunity to take the recruiting position at the University of Illinois under former U of L head coach Don Hardin. Kordes then spent the next six seasons with the Fighting Illini, serving as the top assistant from 1999-2003 and coaching two All-Americans. During her stint, the Illini qualified for the NCAA Tournament three times and posted a 90-61 record. In 2003, Kordes helped them to a 26-7 record, the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and a No. 15 final ranking. Kordes has exhibited leadership within the AVCA, where she is pres- ident-elect. She will be president for the 2012 season that will culmi- nate at the Final Four which will be held in Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center. From 2006-08, she was a member of the Northeast Region Ranking Committee and the region’s All-America Committee. Kordes was named chair of the Northeast Region All-America Committee in 2009 and since then has been a member of the national All-America Committee. She is also a member of the newly formed AVCA Coaches for Coaches Committee. Kordes has been visible on the national coaching scene, serving as a coach for USA Volleyball summer programs. In 2010, she was tabbed lead head coach for the U.S. Girls’ Select A1 National Team, which competed at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships. She was an assistant coach for the USA Volleyball Girls’ Youth National Team, which competed at the 2007 FIVB Girls’ Youth National Cham- pionships in Baja California, Mexico. In 2000, she was the assistant coach for the Youth National Team, and in 2001 she was an assistant for the Junior National Team. Kordes served as an assistant in 2002 and 2003 for the National A2 Collegiate Program. During the summer of 2003, she served as the assistant coach for the High Performance #2 team, the head coach for the High Perfor- mance #3 team and the head coach for the Youth National A3 team. Kordes was the only college coach named as an assistant for the USA Junior National Team in 2004. She had an opportunity to coach some of the nation’s best young players and accompanied the squad to an international tournament played in Ankara, Turkey, in 2005. Kordes was also tabbed an assistant coach in 2006 and 2009 for the USA Select Team. She helped with the team’s training and competition at the USA High Performance Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Kordes’ pursuit of coaching was influenced by her father, Ron, who has coached at the grade school, high school and club levels in Louisville. He coached his daughter at Assumption High School before she moved on to the University of Cincinnati. Kordes was named the 1994 Great Midwest Conference Newcomer of the Year, set the league record for assists by a sophomore with 1,575 and was named second- team All-Conference USA. After a two-year stint with the Bearcats, she transferred to the University of Louisville. As a senior, Kordes led Louisville to the C-USA Tournament cham- pionship and the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals were ranked as high as No. 21 and finished with a 29-5 slate. She closed her career with 4,874 assists, 886 digs and 128 service aces and was a three-time All-Conference USA selection.
