Gators Among Volleyball’s Elite (through matches prior to 12/14/17)

Gators Are Back Where They Belong• The Gators are making their eighth NCAA Semifinals appearance in program his-

tory and their first since 2003, when they reached the NCAA Championship

• Florida appeared in seven NCAA Semifinals from 1991-2003, and its eight berths since 1991 are the fifth-most in Division I volleyball during that span

• UF was the only team which had to face two national seeds en route to the NCAA Semifinals (i.e. - 15th-seeded UCLA, 10th-seeded USC)

• The Gators erased a 21-18 deficit in a do-or-die fourth set, staved off a match point with three straight points of their own, and climbed out of a 9-5 hole in the fifth set to triumph over USC in the Gainesville Regional Championship

• Florida is 2-1 this season in matches in which it trailed 2-1, but it was 0-2 in such matches last year, had lost four such matches in a row prior to this season, and were 4-14 in such matches since 2011

Florida’s NCAA Tournament History• 70-27 all-time record, 69-26 record under head coach Mary Wise

• Florida is 23-6 as an overall top-4 seed, and this is the fifth time UF has reached the NCAA Semifinals as an overall top-4 seed (1992, 1996, 1998, 2003)

• Florida is an overall top-4 seed for the seventh time in program history and first time since 2010

Gators’ Stats Compared Against The Nation• Florida’s five AVCA All-Region selections trailed only Texas (six), and were tied

with Kentucky, Penn State, and Stanford for the second-most nationally

• One of two teams (VCU) ranked in the top 10 nationally in blocks per set (6th; 3.01) and opponent hitting percentage (2nd; .136)

• One of three teams (Nebraska, Wichita St.) ranked in the national top 15 in both hitting percentage (12th; .286) and opponent hitting percentage

• One of two teams (Kentucky) in the country with two players in the national top 15 in hitting percentage (Rachael Kramer, 7th .429; Rhamat Alhassan, 15th, .399), and the only team with three in the top 100 (Shainah Joseph, t-51st, .366)

MATCH 31 & 32

Mary Wise, the architect of one of the most storied programs in NCAA history enters her 27th season at the helm of Florida volleyball. Wise’s achievements since joining the Gators in 1991 are nothing short of unprecedented.

There are 23 SEC titles, including 18 straight from 1991-2008 -- the Division I record for most consecutive conference titles by a single program. There are 27 straight NCAA Tournament bids, eight NCAA Semifinals, a trip to the 2003 NCAA Championship match, and 15 SEC Coach of the Year honors.

Wise has coached all 37 All-Americans in school history, with those student-athletes amassing 97 All-America honors. Additionally, 13 Gators have combined for 19 SEC Athlete of the Year awards since 1992, including Angie McGinnis in 2006 and 2007, when she became the first setter in history to claim the honor and one of only five multi-time winners.

She also coached three Olympians (2 indoor, 1 beach doubles), most recently Kelly Murphy (United States) and Aury Cruz (Puerto Rico) in 2016.

Moreover, Wise and the Gatrors became the first program in NCAA history to win 100 consecutive sets, as well as the first to win 130 consecutive regular-season conference matches.

In addition to the being the most successful female head coach in Division I history (the evidence of which you can see on both these pages), Wise is the only coach in history to amass a .900-plus winning percentage in the first 20 seasons at one school, posting a record of 632-69 (.902) from 1991-2010.

Florida and Coach Wise paired their national success with a dominance of the SEC, logging a .942 winning percentage and 422-26 record in SEC matches.

The Gators draw their success from Wise’s exciting, high-powered offense, which ranks among the nation’s best seemingly every year.

Florida boasts two of the top five all-time hitting percentage leaders in Division I history, including Chloe Mann’s (2010-13) record clip of .476--which ranks all-time across all divisions. Heather Wright (1997-2000) finished with a .424 clip, ranking her fifth in Division I history.

On that same note, Florida is the only program to have more than two individuals lead the nation in hitting percentage since the NCAA began tracking the statistic in 1994, with Wright doing so in 1999 (.451), Mann doing so in 2012 (.444) and 2013 (.506), and Rhamat Alhassan doing so as a freshman in 2014 (.458).

As a team, the Gators are one of two Division I programs to lead the nation in hitting percentage more than twice since the NCAA began tracking the stat in 1994. Florida’s led the nation each of the last two seasons (.313 in 2015, .338 in 2016) and did so in 2011 (.309).

CONSISTENTLY STIFLING DEFENSE• The Gators have finished in the top 25 nationally in opponent hitting percentage the last two

seasons, but they rank second nationally this year (.136) and are on pace to finish with an opponent clip below .140 for the first time since 2004.

• Florida’s lowest opponent hitting percentage season averages since 1997:

◊ 2001 Gators: .103 ◊ 2002 Gators: .104 ◊ 2003 Gators: .104 ◊ 2000 Gators: .130 ◊ 2017 Gators: .136 ◊ 2004 Gators: .137 ◊ Three times (1999, 2006, 2007): .148

• Florida has held three top-10 opponents at or below a .170 hitting percentage--#1 Texas (.156); #5 Nebraska (.155); #6 Kentucky (.170)--something no Gator team has done accord-ing to statistical records dating back to 1997.

◊ From 1997-2016, Florida held a total of eight top-10 opponents at or below a .170 hitting percentage.

• The Gators held #6 Kentucky to a .170 hitting percentage in their Nov. 1 road sweep, marking the first time since Sept. 1, 2006 (Hawaii, .096) they held a top-10 opponent at or below a .170 clip in a road match.

• Florida has held its opponent below a .100 clip in 40 of 107 sets its played this year (37.4%).

• Florida has held five top-20 opponents under a .160 hitting percentage for the second time since 1998, with the only other squad being the 2003 Gators. Prior to this year, Florida held a total of three top-20 opponents under a .160 clip from 2008-16.

• The Gators held both #1 Texas (.156) and #5 Nebraska (.155) below a .160 clip. Prior to this year, UF accomplished that against top-5 opponents twice altogether since 1998.

• Only Auburn (.199), Missouri (.207), Miami (.208), USC (.226), Arkansas (.253) and Kentucky (.309) hit higher than .185 against the Gators this year.

• Florida ranks 88th nationally in digs per set (16.03). Last year, the Gators ranked 208th in the country (14.24). On Nov. 10 against Arkansas, Florida logged 80 digs in four sets, which was its highest total in a four-setter since Dec. 2, 2011 (against Missouri).

BRINGING THE ROOF DOWN • Florida ranked 25th nationally in blocks per set (2.62) last season, but it ranks sixth this year

(3.01) and is on pace to post one of the best averages in school history.

• The Gators have not averaged more than 2.84 blocks per set since 2007, when they aver-aged 3.05.

• Florida racked up 18 team total blocks in a win over Arkansas (Nov. 10), tying its third-highest single-match output in the rally scoring era. Moreover, three different Gators finished with eight blocks for the first time since Oct. 22, 2004 (at Tennessee).

WHAT MAKES THESE GATORS DIFFERENT?• Prior to this season, the Gators were 2-8 in their last 10 five-set matches (dating back to the

2014 NCAA Regional Semifinals), but are 3-0 in five-setters this year.

• The Gators were 1-3 against ranked opponents last season, but are 7-1 in 2017.

• Florida defeated three top-10 teams in the regular season for only the third time in pro-gram history, joining the 1997 and 2010 Gators as the only other groups to do so.

2017 SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR - RHAMAT ALHASSAN• Rhamat Alhassan became the 13th Gator to be named SEC Player of the Year, and it’s the

19th time a Gator has won the award.

• Alhassan’s nation-leading 1.75 blocks per set average is the eighth-highest single-season average by an NCAA player in the 25-point scoring era (2008-present).

• Alhassan is nearly on pace to break Florida’s single-season blocks per set record of 1.79, which was set by Jenni Patterson in 1989.

• Alhassan (1.62 - 2015), Kelsey Bowers (1.63 - 2006), and Benavia Jenkins (1.63 - 2000) are the only other Gators in school history to finish a season with at least 1.60 blocks per set.

• Should Alhassan finish her career with a hitting percentage of .420 or better (she currently hits .423) she will be the third player in Division I history with 1,150 kills, 605 blocks and a clip of .420 or higher.

◊ Virag Domokos, George Mason, 1993-96 (1,562 kills / 703 blocks / .423 hitting %) ◊ Christa Harmotto, Penn State, 2005-08 (1,244 kills / 682 blocks / .433 hitting %) ◊ Rhamat Alhassan, Florida, 2014-Present (1,254 kills / 664 blocks / .423 hitting %)

• Alhassan is only player in the nation averaging at least 1.70 blocks per set and a .355 hit-ting percentage this season. Only one player since 2010 (Haley Warner, BYU, 2012) finished a season with such averages.

◊ Haley Warner, BYU, 2012 (.423 / 1.80) ◊ Rhamat Alhassan, Florida, 2017 (.399 / 1.75)

• Alhassan broke Benavia Jenkins’ (2000-03) school record for career total blocks (601) in a road sweep of Tennessee (Nov. 5).

• Alhassan tallied 20 kills and no errors on 26 attempts in a sweep at Ole Miss, making her the only Division I player to log at least 20 kills and finish errorless this year. Her .769 clip from that match ranks seventh nationally (min. 20 attempts).

JOSEPH RIDES LATE-SEASON TEAR TO POSTSEASON HONORS• Shainah Joseph earned her first-ever All-SEC and AVCA All-Southeast Region honors fol-

lowing her late-season tear.

• Joseph is hitting .415 with 168 kills and 25 errors on 344 attempts in Florida’s last 14 match-es (51 sets).

• Joseph’s hot streak includes a combined 39 kills and .473 clip two wins over Missouri, along with a 12-kill outing at #6 Kentucky in which she hit .476, and a monstrous 19-kill and .515-clip performance in a four-set win over Miami in the NCAA Second Round.

• Joseph tallied 25 kills on 61 swings and hit .344, in addition to nine digs and five blocks in wins over UCLA and USC to earn Most Valuable Player honors in the Gainesville Regional.

ALL-AROUND SNYDER• Carli Snyder is the only player in the nation averaging at least 0.40 service aces per set

(0.50), 4.20 points per set (4.20), and 3.25 digs per set (3.31). In fact, only Snyder and Houston Baptist’s Bailey Banks average at least 0.40 aces, 4.20 points, and at least 3.00 digs per set.

• By way of her hammer of a jump serve, Snyder ranks sixth nationally in service aces per set (0.50). No Gator ranked inside the top 250 nationally last season.

• Snyder logged six service aces (her second time doing so this year) in a win over Arkansas, become the first Gator since Puerto Rican Olympian Aury Cruz (2003) to post six service aces more than once in the same season.

• Snyder ended that Arkansas match on a 13-point service run which featured four aces.

• Since 2010, only four Gators finished a season higher than 110th nationally, and only Mack-enzie Dagostino (2014) ranked higher than 25th. Her 0.41 aces per set ranked 23rd that year.

• In the season-opening 3-1 win over Texas, Snyder became the only Gator since at least 1998 to post 20 digs and six aces in a match. She also totaled 20.5 points (14 kills, 1 block assist).

• Snyder had two of the best performances of her career in November: 15 kills, zero errors and a .517 hitting percentage in a road sweep of #6 Kentucky (Nov. 1), followed by 21 kills, two errors and a .432 hitting percentage in a four-set win over Auburn (Nov. 22).

KRAMER TERMINATING WITH EFFICIENCY• Rachael Kramer ranks seventh nationally in hitting efficiency (.429), a year after she would

have led the nation with a .537 clip had she averaged another 0.11 attacks per set to qualify.

• Kramer already has 16 matches with double-digit kills and nine with five-plus blocks this season. Last year she only had five matches with 10-plus kills, and six with five-plus blocks.

• Kramer logged a career-high 20 kills and had just one error, hitting an absurd .679 in UF’s win over Nebraska. Kramer joined Chloe Mann (2012) and Alhassan (this year at Ole Miss) as the only other Gator since 1998 to hit better than .675 and total at least 20 kills in a match.

• Kramer is one of four players in the nation with such a stat line in a match this year (Sigourney Kame, Florida Atlantic; Milica Kubura, Florida State; Alhassan).

WISE REACHES 900-WIN PLATEAU• Mary Wise earned her 900th career win at Missouri, making her the third female head

coach in NCAA history to reach the 900-win plateau. Peggy Martin, who won 1,064 match-es in 33 seasons at Central Missouri, and Julie Jenkins, who has won 910 matches in 33-plus years at VCU and Trinity (Texas), are the only others to do so.

• Wise’s 823 career wins at Florida are eighth-most wins by a coach at one school in NCAA volleyball history (all three divisions - first season in 1981).

• Most career wins at the same Division I school since 1981 (first season of NCAA volleyball):

◊ Russ Rose, Penn State (1981-Present) - 1,180 ◊ Dave Shoji, Hawaii (1981-2016) - 1,052 ◊ Brian Gimmillaro, Long Beach State (1985-2016) - 835 ◊ Mary Wise, Florida (1991-Present) - 823

HISTORIC OPENING WEEKEND• Only three other teams since 1996 defeated consecutive AVCA top-5 opponents to open

a season--and two of the three went on the win the national title:

◊ Florida, 2017 - #1 Texas (3-1); #5 Nebraska (3-2) - TBD

◊ Penn State, 2007 - #4 Texas (3-1); #4 Texas (3-1) - Won NCAA title ◊ Nebraska, 2005 - #4 Hawaii (3-0); #3 Stanford (3-0) - NCAA finalist ◊ USC, 2003 - #3 Florida (3-0); at #2 Hawaii (3-0) - Won NCAA title

Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Free Spirit: Carli Snyder’s Unique, Refreshing Worldview Endears Her to Fans and Teammates Author: Zach Dirlam Link: https://spark.adobe.com/page/Foc4ubreTK3bW/ GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Carli Snyder loves impulsive decisions. Anytime life starts feeling consistent, she instinctively shakes things up. “I can’t stand when I know how my day is going to start and end every day, or that there’s not going to be anything new,” Snyder said. “Just the tiniest mix up in my day, meeting someone who changes your outlook on a certain subject, or reading a new book, just getting a new idea in your head can fulfill that need of constant motion.” Those subtle changes usually do the trick. Except this past May, when Snyder, bored and perusing Craigslist, gazed wondrously at the empty backyard of the house she rented in downtown Gainesville and thought, I could totally have a dog here. A couple clicks later she stumbled onto the perfect listing. Snyder acted immediately. There was no time for second thoughts. This was far from logical, and not at all practical. She knew it. Which was exactly why she replied to the ad, hopped in her Volkswagen Beetle and drove over an hour through rural Florida to pick up Ophie, a three-year-old Great Dane. None of her family, friends, or teammates found out until Snyder sent them all Snapchats of Ophie in the backseat. “Lots of college co-eds want a dog. But who goes and buys a Great Dane?” Florida volleyball head coach Mary Wise said. “That would be Carli.” Almost anyone who spends time with Snyder usually comes away with a similarly hilarious story. Those closest to her laugh about how there are too many to recall. “Carli is just so different from anyone I’ve ever met,” redshirt sophomore Allie Monserez said. “Every day she surprises me in a different way … she just has such a positive and unique outlook on life. She’ll always tell me about her different theories and different things she stayed up all night thinking about. “The other day she told me about what she thought it meant to be human, and just went on for a 20-minute car ride with her different ideas about it. Sometimes I just sit there in silence and go, what is she even saying to me?” Such conversations with Snyder are wildly entertaining, and her free-spirited personality, incisive worldview, and acute sense of self make them incredibly refreshing. Snyder has always been unapologetically different. Well before thrift shopping became trendy, Snyder and her grandmother bonded over it. Thrifting was where her affinity for ugly, baggy men’s sweaters or just about anything else crazy and out of style came from. Her fondness for wearing mismatched socks drove her mother, Sheila, crazy on laundry days. An avid reader, Snyder cannot stand to finish a good book. Her solution: put it off by reading four at a time. She reads anything she can get her hands on, and she admits to spending an “uncomfortable amount” of money at the local bookstore, where the staff know her by name. She reads with such frequency she has to be told to put down books in order to keep up with her studies. “I read the top books right away,” Snyder said. “I’m resorting to the classics until the new books of 2017 come out—George Orwell’s ‘1984’, I’m re-reading ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘The Sun Also Rises’, by Earnest Hemingway. I don’t necessarily need one genre. I just love a good book. “Mysteries were giving me nightmares though. I was really on murder mysteries and could not sleep. I’d wake up in panic and had four dreams where CK (teammate and roommate Caroline Knop) died, and she went, ‘Can you stop reading these books?’” Snyder has a fascination for art. The Detroit Institute of Art, just outside her hometown of Macomb, Mich., is one of her favorite places to go. She does not have a favorite piece, feeling she becomes obsessed with things too easily to fixate on one. Example: the day she discovered Frida Kahlo, a self-taught self-portrait artist from the early 1900s. “I became obsessed with Frida because I saw a quote by her, and then I watched a documentary on her, bought a book on her, and loved her,” Snyder said. “This was in a span of four hours. CK came home and was like, ‘What happened?’”

Then there is Snyder’s hair. She has given up conforming to societal norms and expectations for hair styling, allowing her golden locks to fall

wherever they please in all their frizzy glory. No matter the occasion, whether it be a volleyball match or a formal event, her hair remains relatively untouched. “I spent so much of my life straightening it or trying to make it look different, and I didn’t realize how well it represented me as a person: everywhere, very care-free, and having a mind of its own,” Snyder said. “I like for it to go everywhere. I don’t think I’ll ever cut or change it.” While Snyder worries very little about her outward appearance, she takes great care of her psyche. A heralded recruit coming out of Dakota High School, Snyder played well in her freshman season with the Gators but struggled with the pressures of Division I volleyball. She loved the sport, but it no longer brought her the sense of confidence, peace, or fulfillment it once did. So, as only Carli Snyder could, she mixed things up. “It turns out I needed so much more than volleyball to be happy,” Synder said. “That’s one part of your world in college. I was so focused on that one part that I felt empty in other areas. I just needed to find something else to have that was mine. I started going out on nature walks and exploring the area more, coming to coffee shops alone. “There were so many different types of people I got to talk to that didn’t ask one question about volleyball, didn’t ask one question about school. It was just talking to people and hearing their experiences. I’m a big believer everyone has something for you to hear … something that can help you.” Taking up mediation and yoga also alleviated the stress of balancing college coursework and volleyball. Those exercises allowed her to, as she once wrote on her personal blog, completely be one with the universe. “I just feel really connected with the Earth around me, connected to the ground my feet are on, and being where the ground is,” Snyder said. “Wherever my feet are, I’m trying to be there. I’m not trying to have my mind drift to what I’m doing later in the day or what I’m worried about. I just want to be right where my feet are, feeling really connected to my surroundings at that moment.” Discovering a calling beyond volleyball over the past year has also given Snyder an even greater sense of clarity and purpose. International studies with a focus on Africa, her fourth major in three years, is where her heart truly lies. She cannot read enough about Africa. And the idea of making a difference there, being part of something bigger than herself, is all about answering the central question of what she hopes to achieve in her life. “Can I bring peace to others and those around me?” Snyder asked rhetorically. Snyder brings a certain peace to the Gators. Teammates gravitate toward her rejuvenated passion for volleyball and ceaseless adoration for life. More often than not, Snyder’s daily activities force her teammates out of their comfort zones. They are nearly always thankful for those experiences. Monserez went as far as to say her everyday adventures with Snyder have “helped (her) grow as a person.” Snyder’s game on the volleyball court has evolved as well. The Gators ask a lot of Snyder, an outside hitter who led the team in attempts 20 times in 29 matches this year. According to Coach Wise, Snyder, who earned the first All-SEC honor of her career this season, could not have carried such a significant burden and still performed at this level a year ago. Everything from her strength and conditioning to her focus is continually reaching new heights. While Carli’s play, along with her kind-hearted soul, draws praise from fans and parents, one of those things means much more than the other to Snyder’s mother. “I think she’s a better person than she is a volleyball player, and that’s what I’m most proud of,” Sheila said. “I learned a long time ago that everybody is unique in their own way, and I wanted her to embrace that. Not a lot of people have enough confidence, without being cocky, to do the things she does.” Snyder will have to fall into somewhat of a routine the next couple of weeks, as the Gators chase their first Final Four appearance since 2003. Once volleyball season comes to a close, though, what exactly Carli Snyder will be up to until the start of her senior campaign is anyone’s guess. Because as her mom says, “One never knows in our family what the next day will be in the life of Carli.”

Publication: The Gainesville Sun Title: Alhassan’s Journey Enters Final Season Author: Pat Dooley Link: http://www.gainesville.com/sports/20170820/alhassans-journey-enters-final-season When the phone rang, she knew it was something odd, something different, something ominous. Who calls at 2 a.m. with good news? But she answered it anyway. The voice on the other end of the phone from another continent told her to get her mother. Rhamat Alhassan was 13 years old and about to grow up in a hurry the way no kid ever wants to mature. It would be three days later before her mother gave her the news. She had a feeling. So many people coming to the house, speaking in whispers. Her father, who had returned to his native Ghana on business, had passed away. A stomach ulcer. To this day she feels if he was back in the United States he’d still be with her, proudly beaming in the stands as she dominated the net. But he’s gone. “I’d love my dad to be able to see me doing this,” she said. Alhassan has become one of college volleyball’s best players, an All-American and three-time All-SEC honoree. She’ll be in the mix, says UF coach Mary Wise, for national player of the year in this, her senior year. Her journey has been an improbable one punctuated by the pain of losing her dad at such a young age. That forced her to take on a role that didn’t allow for lengthy grieving. Her mom became the breadwinner and Alhassan became the mom. She paid the bills, looked out for her sister Musha and took care of the little things around the house in suburban Washington, D.C. Oh, and she switched sports. The 6-foot-4 Alhassan was a basketball player until a friend talked her into volleyball. Word spread quickly that there was a young girl with a wingspan to die for who had the potential to be something special. When Wise asked an assistant who was out scouting about Alhassan she was told in no uncertain terms, “She’s awful. But she’s going to be great.” “Great” didn’t come right away. “I was horrible,” Alhassan said. “Horrible doesn’t describe how bad I was. After the first year of club (volleyball), I knew I could do more. “I like to be good at things.” But this wasn’t a young lady with the luxury of having parents driving her from match to match or making sure she had orange slices. She took public transportation to get where she had to go for practices. Still, she blossomed. The big volleyball programs were all over her. Wise won the battle. What she got was more than a budding star. “When that talented a player is the team role model, that’s a coach’s dream,” Wise said. Her teammates call Alhassan “grandma”. Last year on the team bus, she was teaching the freshmen how to knit. The experiences she dealt with as a young girl coping with having a single parent have put Alhassan in a different place. “She’s an old soul,” Wise said. Not that she asked to be. “I had to learn how to do everything myself,” Alhassan said, “I was always very independent. I think about small things. ’Oh, I’m doing this. I would have done this with my dad. Like WWE (wrestling). We used to watch it all the time. Just memories like that.”

Each year has brought a different level of improvement on the volleyball court. Because she started the sport so late in life (10th grade), there were no bad habits to overcome.

“She’s a great learner and she’s so driven,” Wise said. On Friday night, she will play in the first match of her final season at Florida. The Gators finally get into the new arena after a year of playing games in the Lemerand Center and nobody is looking forward to it more than the athlete in the middle with her long arms, high volleyball IQ and infectious personality. “I can’t believe this is my last preseason ever,” Alhassan said. “I feel like I just got here as a freshman. I didn’t see this coming.” Who could have? Who could see this road? Who could see her becoming one of the game’s top players? Who could see her guiding her sister through the recruiting process last year (Musha is now on the Hartford basketball team)? Who could have expected such greatness? Perhaps, well, her father did.



Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Sweet Sweep: A Fun Friday Night for Gators Author: Scott Carter Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/8/25/scott-carter-sweet-sweep-a-fun-friday-night-for-gators.aspx The SEC Network is difficult to access back in Salvador, Brazil, the hometown of Gators junior soccer player Lais Araujo. Araujo doubted her family was able to watch Florida's win over No. 1-ranked Stanford on Friday night. Still, whenever they eventually watch the clip of Araujo's game-winning goal in the 81st minute, they will probably watch it over and over and over. Araujo took a pass from teammate Melanie Monteagudo in stride as she cut toward the goal, then faked Stanford defender Michelle Xiao inside the box. Araujo, still in control of the ball, next bent a shot into the upper right-hand corner of the net, just out of the reach of Cardinal goalkeeper Alison Jahansouz for the game-winner. Pure joy then took over after Araujo's first goal for the Gators. She raced to the sideline to celebrate, her smile as wide as the Gulf of Mexico. "I loved the fact she shared that moment with our bench,'' Gators head coach Becky Burleigh said. "That's ridiculous composure inside the six-yard box. It's really hard to keep that calmness. She brings that." The first junior college transfer in the program's history, Araujo arrived at UF after playing two seasons at ASA College in Brooklyn, N.Y. Her background is impressive, which includes serving as captain for the Brazil Under-20 World Cup team in 2016. Friday was just her third game in a Florida uniform. She won't forget it as the No. 8-ranked Gators defeated Stanford for the first time in six all-time meetings and won its second all-time home match against a No. 1-ranked team (Florida State in 2015 was the first). "Everyone knew it was going to be a big challenge for us,'' Araujo said. "I just kept the focus … and Melanie gave me a great pass. It was a special moment because it was my first goal and it got to be in a home game." The Gators ran players in and out to keep constant pressure on the Cardinal. The plan worked as Stanford eventually wore down and the Gators capitalized with a pair of goals in the final 12 minutes. "In the end, this is just one game and the result doesn't define us,'' Burleigh said. "But the things we take from it, like our resilience, those are things that do continue to define us." She might be new to UF, but Araujo is apparently a quick learner. Pressed for more on the team's comeback and what the win means, Araujo said words you would expect Steve Spurrier to say, not necessarily a kid who spent last summer with the Brazil World Cup team playing in Papua, New Guinea. "It was a great night for the Gators,'' she said. That was around 7:30. By 10 p.m., it was a momentous night for the Gators. The No. 12-ranked Gators volleyball team hosted No. 1 Texas on Friday night in its first match in the revamped Exactech Arena/O'Connell Center. A year ago, the Gators played in the Lemerand Center as the O'Dome was under construction. While the soccer team needed a second-half comeback to beat Stanford, the volleyball team jumped ahead of the Longhorns by winning the first two sets in front of a rabid crowd of 7,523, the second-largest crowd in program history. The Gators delivered with a 3-1 victory, starting the season in memorable fashion by taking down the No. 1 team in the country for the third time in school history. "I don't think you can ever talk about this match without talking about the crowd,'' Gators head coach Mary Wise said. Immediately after the upset win, senior Rhamat Alhassan could barely contain her excitement during a live interview on the SEC Network. How did they do it? "We want to be the best team in the country,'' Alhassan said. "We know how to win." Sideline reporter Holly Rowe, who will be at AT&T Stadium for the Florida-Michigan football game next weekend, wasn't going to let Alhassan depart without getting her thoughts on Florida's sweet sweep Friday. Two No. 1 teams in town, two No. 1 teams go down. "Gator Nation. That's all I can say,'' said Alhassan. On this Friday night, Gator Nation had a lot of fun.

Publication: The Gainesville Sun Title: Florida Knocks Off Second Top-5 Volleyball Team in 24 Hours Author: Jim Harvin Link: http://www.gatorsports.com/2017/08/florida-knocks-off-second-top-5-volleyball-team-24-hours/ GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With Saturday’s VERT Challenge match between No. 5 Nebraska and No. 12 Florida tied at two sets apiece, UF coach Mary Wise had a brief but serious talk with her team. “I wanted to remind them that nothing that happened previously matters in a fifth set in terms of predicting the outcome,” Wise said. “It’s one set to 15 points. We asked them to be who they want to be, know their identity, and know their game.” The Gators (2-0) responded by scoring the first five points of set five and never looked back in claiming a 15-11 win to take a 3-2 victory over the Huskers (0-2) before an Exactech Arena crowd of 3,812 and a night after stunning No. 1 Texas. Sophomore middle blocker Rachael Kramer led UF with a career-high 20 kills and a team-high .679 hitting percentage en route to a career-high 21.5 points. “Another amazing match,” Kramer said. “We said we needed to turn the page. It was a slow start, but we finally got there. “I’ve got to give credit to our back row and Allie Monserez. The back row was passing some great balls and Allie was putting up great sets for me to kill.” Redshirt senior right-side hitter Shainah Joseph added 11 kills and a solid .310 hitting mark, finishing with 12 points, while Monserez, a redshirt junior, put up a double-double with 41 assists and 20 digs. “It was all about focusing in tonight,” Joseph said. “We came off a really big win yesterday. I was really focused on my teammates and giving a lot of energy to my team. It kind of just came along that I was having a good night, too.” UF came out slow and lost set one 25-19, but rebounded to win set two, 25-18, to tie the match heading into intermission. Nebraska took set three, 25-17, to put UF in a 2-1 hole, but the Gators bounced back with a 25-18 win in set four to set the stage for the fifth and pivotal set. While Snyder and Alhassan struggled offensively, they both found other ways to contribute. Snyder had a match-high 27 digs that set a career high, while Alhassan posted a match-high eight block assists en route to scoring 12 points. “The coolest thing on this team is it can be anyone’s night on any given night,” Snyder said. “Tonight our offense was fueled by Rachael and Shainah. They did such a good job. It’s one of those things where you’ve got to let them go off, set the hot hand, and whatever role I (could) find on the court and help them get the ball was what I wanted to do.” The Huskers were led by double-doubles from Mikaela Foecke (18 kills, 16 digs) and Annika Albrecht (11 kills, 16 digs) while Jazz Sweet added 16 kills. “Florida, they’re a great team,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “They hit us with some tough serves; we couldn’t pass; we just completely got out of rhythm. They were making us pay. They did a great job.” The victory marked the first time UF has won back-to-back matches against top-five opponents in program history. “It was such a great learning experience, and often times you don’t learn as much in a win as you do in a loss,” Wise noted. “In this match, we learned more about our team than we did last night.”

Publication: The Alligator Title: Rachael Kramer ‘Flourishing’ in a Larger Role Author: Justin Ahlum Link: http://www.alligator.org/sports/volleyball/article_3ed00606-8bb1-11e7-ae8c-2f08e85fb500.html For the first time in program history, the Florida Gators beat two top-five opponents in back-to-back nights after defeating No. 1 Texas in four sets Friday and No. 5 Nebraska in a five-set thriller on Saturday. As she praised Nebraska’s efforts after the game, coach Mary Wise appreciated the unlikelihood of the result. “Lots of things working against us,” Wise said. “If you had said we could win a five-set match against the talent of Nebraska, with Rhamat (Alhassan) and Carli (Snyder) only getting eight kills, I’m not sure I would’ve believed you.” While senior leaders Alhassan and Snyder had just a combined 16 kills against the Cornhuskers, their presence was still felt on the court. Alhassan, a three-time All-American, had eight blocks up front, while Snyder topped her career-high in digs with 27. In addition to the contributions from Alhassan and Snyder, sophomore Rachael Kramer shined in her first two games of the season, providing another spark in the middle for the Gators. Kramer dominated in her opportunities on the court and combined for 31 kills with a hitting percentage slightly below 55 percent over the weekend. Despite her break-out performance against two top-five opponents, Kramer gave the credit to the back line and redshirt junior setter Allie Monserez. “Back row was passing some great balls and Allie was putting up great sets for me to kill,” Kramer, a Phoenix native, said. Many of Kramer’s teammates noticed her emergence as well, as Snyder talked about Kramer’s dedication to getting better and working hard in the gym. “She is someone who always wants to learn,” Snyder, a middle blocker, said. “That’s the coolest thing, as an upperclassman, to have is someone who’s always taking feedback… She’s accepted a bigger role and is clearly flourishing in it.”

Publication: The Alligator Title: Freshman Paige Hammons Thriving in All-Around Role Author: Justin Ahlum Link: http://www.alligator.org/sports/volleyball/article_2015e44e-9c30-11e7-9241-a79da06ea0d2.html GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Her list of high school accolades takes up a whole laptop screen, and her talent and volleyball IQ takes up the whole court on gameday. For the Gators, freshman Paige Hammons’ production since coming to Gainesville has boosted her into the starting lineup and bolstered an already stacked rotation featuring the likes of All-American Rhamat Alhassan and senior Carli Snyder. When asked about Hammons’ impact for Florida since her arrival, Snyder credited her ability to take advice from everyone on the team. “She came in with such a good work ethic and such a will to learn,” Snyder said. “And I think that’s exactly what she’s done over the past month or so is just really, learn so much about our system and take all information with such an open mind.” Hammons, a Louisville, Kentucky, native, found herself in the starting lineup on Saturday night for the second time this season, playing her best game in the process. By the end of the match, the freshman finished with 14 digs, tied for the most on the team. In an interview after UF’s match against Lipscomb on Saturday night, Hammons credited many of the seniors on the team in helping her improve her game. “Rhamat (Alhassan) is (who) I look to for blocking,” Hammons said. “Carli (Snyder) is mainly what I look to for outside hitting and CK’s (Caroline Knop) my go-to for serving and defense.” The 2016 Miss Kentucky Volleyball has seen improvement in every game so far, ranging from her hitting to her defensive play. In addition to her 14 digs against the Bisons, Hammons was able to amass a season high in kills, totalling six kills on 19 total attacks. But her early success shouldn’t come as a surprise. Before taking her talents to Florida, Hammons played for the USA’s junior national team from 2016 to 2017, winning a gold medal at the U20 Pan American Championships and a silver medal at the NORCECA Championships, a competition for national teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean, as well. As Hammons continues to grow at UF, her potential begins to show as well, making it clear why she was named a high school All-American and FloVolleyball’s 2016 High School National Player of the Year. For the Gators, Hammons is a welcome addition to a senior-heavy team, as one of her teammates put it. “She’s taking on a huge role and doing it so nicely,” Snyder said. “I give her a lot of credit. That’s something I could not do my freshman year.”

Publication: espnW Title: Time and Time Again, Caroline Knop Has the Gators’ Backs Author: Mirin Fader Link: http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/20766242/florida-gators-senior-volleyball-star-caroline-knop-gators-backs The Florida volleyball team has a saying: "control the controllables." You can control how much effort you give offensively or defensively. You can control how early you arrive to practice. You can control how kind you are to a teammate who fumbles a pass. But Hurricane Irma, sustaining blistering winds around 185 mph? That's not something anyone could have controlled. While dealing with game cancellations and rescheduling, the No. 3 undefeated Gators channeled fear into fun. Seniors like starting libero Caroline Knop, who lives off campus, huddled the team together and took refuge in the dorms to play board games such as Life and Monopoly for hours. One game lasted until 2 a.m. Another was so intense it resumed the following day. Knop -- the 5-foot-8 firecracker known as "CK," who oozes determination, who is rarely seen without her orange and blue bandana that says "GO GATORS!" -- was probably the most competitive of the bunch during the board games. She doesn't just want to win -- she wants to make those around her better. She leads Florida (8-0) with 137 digs and 4.89 digs per set. Knop is always thinking about the teammate next to her. She knows every position and where each player is supposed to be at any given moment. Naturally, she aspires to be a coach once her playing career is over. "She may have the highest volleyball IQ of any player we've coached. She just sees the game so well," said Florida coach Mary Wise, who became the fourth NCAA Division I coach to record 800 wins at a single school after beating Northern Kentucky on Sept. 15. "She may be more prepared to go into coaching than really any player I've coached at that age," Wise said. Players usually have offseason individual position training sessions, during which two or three players of the same position work for about an hour on position-specific skills. Knop could have been satisfied with her own training session, where she hustled through passing and defensive drills. She could have headed to the locker room, taken a shower and gone home, like all the other players. But she didn't. She stuck around for the session for middles. Plopping down in the stands, Knop was doing more than watching. She was studying, strategizing her teammates, learning their strengths, their weaknesses, their thought processes, their tasks. She continued to sit in on other position sessions as the offseason progressed, figuring, how could she be a true teammate to All-American senior middle Rhamat Alhassan, for example, if she didn't know what Alhassan has been working on? How could she help Alhassan if she didn't truly understand how hard she works on a daily basis? "I'm continuing to try and find ways to get better and to build a connection with every one of my teammates and get them to truly believe I am there for them, that I will have their back, no matter what," Knop said. The first step? Holding herself accountable. The Gators have to run if they aren't vocal during serve/receive drills. Knop is the first to halt practice and yell for everyone to get on the line if she isn't speaking up. She holds others to the same standard. "People have to have faith that you're going to come in every day and do your job and simply be good at what you do and then help others," Knop said. "If you're not stable in your own game and confident in your own game, it's really difficult to lead others." Knop is the type of player who will go wherever you ask her to. When she played for Michigan her first two years, she competed against 6-footers in the Big Ten as Michigan's 5-foot-8 starting outside hitter. Even growing up, she never limited herself to one sport. She played volleyball, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball and golf, eventually earning 16 letters in four years at La Salle High School in Pasadena, California (volleyball, basketball, softball and golf). Her freshman year, the volleyball team was stacked with talented upperclassmen. Her coach gave her a choice: ride the bench on varsity, but observe and learn and get reps in practice; or join JV and play much more. Knop chose varsity. If she wasn't going to be on the floor, she'd like to be closest to it, taking advantage of the front-row seat that promised all the action. She spent the year learning from her teammates, dissecting plays and analyzing her own shortcomings. "I think it was one of the hardest choices in sports she had to make at that point," said Kurt, her father. Eventually, she became the glue for the squad, which won four straight league championships and a CIF Southern Section Division 1A championship in her junior and senior seasons.

http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/20766242/florida-gators-senior-volleyball-star-caroline-knop-gators-backs


"She began to see things through a coach's prism," Kurt said. Years of studying the game has paid off. Knop morphed into a 2016 AVCA All-America Honorable Mention selection,

totaling a team-high 459 digs last season, good for the 10th-highest single-season total in school history. She has already had big games this season against Texas (22 digs) and Northern Kentucky (18 digs) as the Gators head into SEC play against Arkansas on Sunday. Knop continues to challenge her teammates, including her best friend and roommate, senior outside Carli Snyder. Snyder had a season-high 19 kills Sunday against Lipscomb, tying the second-highest total of her career. Dave Boos, Florida's associate head coach, recently came up to Snyder and told her she's passing much better than the previous season. Snyder tried to figure out why, thinking to herself that she isn't doing anything different technically. Then she realized: CK. "It's not that I wasn't confident before," Snyder said, "but sometimes you need to have someone who has that confidence in you and gives you room to believe in yourself."

The Gators, who were ranked No. 3 before an array of upsets last weekend, were last ranked No. 1 in 2010, and also garnered the nation's top ranking in 1996. This is the 14th all-time No. 1 ranking in program history. It is also the earliest Florida has ever risen to No. 1. The Gators boast a 27-2 all-time record as the No. 1-ranked team. Back in 2010, the Gators climbed to the top spot on Oct. 11. They held that ranking for eight polls and won 15 consecutive matches before falling to Purdue in the NCAA Regional Semifinal, held in Austin, Texas. In 1996, Florida nabbed the No. 1 ranking on Nov. 5 and held it for the next four polls. The team went on to win their next 12 matches and reached the NCAA Semifinals, where Hawaii ended the streak. These Gators are undefeated and off to their first 9-0 start since 2007, when they opened the year with 16 consecutive victories.

Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Gators’ Trip to Top is Impressive; They Want More, Much More Author: Scott Carter Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/9/29/scott-carter-gators-volleyball-opening-eyes.aspx GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The climb to the penthouse has been swift and ruthless. In its first game of the season, the Florida volleyball team disposed of No. 1-ranked Texas in the program's debut at revamped Exactech Arena/O'Connell Center. The Gators have beaten three other ranked teams since, taking their place at No. 1 earlier this week. They started No. 12 and have steadily moved up, up, up. From the outside looking in, life is good for UF veteran coach Mary Wise, whose program is atop the national poll for the third time in school history and first since 2010. The undefeated Gators (9-0) are winning with offense, a grittier defense, resiliency and attitude. They open a four-game homestand Friday night against Tennessee. LSU visits on Sunday afternoon. Florida is coming off a five-set victory at Arkansas last weekend in the Southeastern Conference opener. At a video session on Tuesday, Wise, in her 27th season, lived a coach's dream. "The perfect situation is to win and still have a lot to learn from,'' Wise said. "That's pretty special." Florida trailed the Razorbacks 4-1 at the start of the fifth set. Wise called a timeout to regroup. She saw players trying to extend their roles when they didn't need to. She sensed it was time to remind them of what got them here and what will get them to where they want to go. They all have the same destination in mind. "We did have a gut check,'' senior outside hitter Carli Snyder said. "She is so good at firing us up." Wise and assistant Dave Boos worked their magic during the timeout. The Gators stormed back to win the fifth set and book win No. 9. "At that moment, there were a lot of things going in Arkansas' favor,'' Wise said. "From that point on, we asked each of the players not to do anything more than they are cable of doing, but to do what they are capable of doing." The Gators had the look of a contender prior to the season. The team returned five seniors – matching the largest senior class in program history – anchored by Snyder, the spirited Shainah Joseph, and All-American middle blocker Rhamat Alhassan, who posted a career-high 20 kills in the victory at Arkansas. The senior class steers the bus the Gators hope leads them to the Final Four and the program's first national championship. No. 1 is nice, but not nice enough. "We just don't want to get through games, we want to thrive in them,'' Snyder said. "We don't just want to know the scouting report, we want to thrive. We want to be really sure of what we're doing. That's something we are still working on now." Alhassan backed up Snyder loud and clear. "We don't think we're 1. We don't think we've capped yet. We're not done getting better,'' she said. "Yeah, we're ranked 1 now, but we want to be ranked 1 at the end of the season. That's what really means something to us." The Gators have opened eyes with their quick start. More than 7,000 fans turned out for the season-opening win over the Longhorns, a longtime nemesis. They followed up that win with one against fifth-ranked Nebraska. The Gators have also defeated No. 16 North Carolina, and No. 19 Florida State. The victory over the Seminoles, who upset Florida in the second round of last year's NCAA Tournament, was one of several confidence boosts in the short season thus far. It also was a step on the way to the top. "This is a team that is always looking to improve the next practice,'' Snyder said. "I don't think the coaches are too worried about us resting on a No 1-ranking in September." Wise is certain to give that mindset a like. Same goes for what Alhassan said when asked why she believes this is a team built for the

http://floridagators.com/news/2017/9/29/scott-carter-gators-volleyball-opening-eyes.aspx


long haul and not just a September champion. "The biggest thing for us is that we haven't necessarily been up in every set,'' Alhassan said. "We've been one

collective unit, working hard, just sticking together and being us and not necessarily worrying about the outside forces, not necessarily worrying about what's going on on the other side of the net, but focusing on us and what we do best." Wise is a like a taxi cab driver in New York City when it comes to perspective in the sport – she has seen it all. The good, bad, ugly and everything in between. She's always built top-tier teams, a few great ones, and now this one. They are all unique. This one perhaps more than usual. "This team is a lot of fun to be around. Every team is a reflection of their senior class," Wise said. "You tell me how many All-American middles play the violin. And Carli swears she was born in the '60s and is a hippie. They have a youthfulness to them in just their joy of living. That transcends to the court." It shows.

Publication: The Gainesville Sun Title: Snyder ‘Heart and Soul’ of UF Volleyball Author: Jim Harvin Link: http://www.gatorsports.com/2017/10/snyder-heart-soul-uf-volleyball/ Florida senior outside hitter Carli Snyder remembers the first time coach Mary Wise came to Dakota High School in Macomb, Mich., to see her. “I was a freshman and was like this really skinny kid,” Snyder said. “Mary kind of looked around and then asked my coach ‘Which one is she again?’ But then she watched some practice and said, ‘Wow, that kid can really hit the ball.’” After a stellar prep career that included setting school records for kills (2,703), digs (1,851) and service aces (491), Snyder made the long trek to Gainesville. UF strength and conditioning coach Matt DeLancey was waiting – with a broomstick. “Here I was working with a broomstick because the bar was too heavy,” Snyder said. “I was so thin and I had never lifted a weight. I don’t think I had ever even done a pushup. I was just a volleyball player.” That was 2014. Fast forward to 2017 and Snyder is an All-American and a six-rotation player who can still really hit the ball. Only now she also possesses a jaw-dropping hammer of a jump serve. A year after setting single-season career highs for kills (371), aces (21), digs (277) and points scored (411.5), Snyder heads into Sunday’s match at Auburn leading fourth-ranked UF (15-1) in points (238), kills (194), and attacks (584) while adding a personal-best 28 aces. She also has 186 digs, second only to senior libero Caroline “CK” Knop’s team-leading 263. “She is unbelievable,” Knop said. “Carli truly can do it all, and I think she is absolutely invincible. She hits the ball hard, she passes well, and she is a huge leader for us on the court. She’s easy to play next to, and I think that’s one of the best compliments that you can give to somebody.” Associate head coach Dave Boos agreed. “The biggest thing is she has a mental load that she has to carry for our team,” Boos said. “The best is still in front of Carli. This year, she’s really gaining momentum, and we’re looking forward to seeing what she does in December.” Snyder would like to play overseas following graduation, but already has some ideas on her post-volleyball life. “I would really love to work in East Africa and possibly help women in a refugee crisis,” she said. “I love to think of myself as someone who could empower women one day. That would be one of my life-long goals.” Sometimes it just comes down to destiny. “My Mom is a tennis coach and she came with me on my first visit to UF,” Snyder said. “We flew into Atlanta and then drove to Gainesville. On the way back to Atlanta, my Mom started tearing up, and when I asked her why, she said ‘I just know you’re going to go to Florida. That’s the place you are meant to be.’ “I think I’ve always kind of felt that way, and I’ve always been happy with my decision.” So has her head coach. “Carli is really the heart and soul of our team,” Wise said. “Seeing her emerge into the senior that she is with everything in life, not just volleyball, is what makes coaching so rewarding.”

Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Kramer Embraces Height as Humorous Photo Catches Fire on Twitter Author: Zach Dirlam Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/10/26/volleyball-kramer-embraces-height-as-humorous-photo-catches-fire-on-twitter.aspx GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Rachael Kramer is used to taking plenty of photos after volleyball matches. Such is life for an All-America candidate on one of the nation's best teams. The fact Kramer stands 6-foot-8 makes her even more of a fan favorite when it comes to photo ops. Isabella Donahue, a 4-foot-8 (and a quarter) Alabama cheerleader, thought a photo alongside Kramer would draw a few laughs on social media. The Twitterverse had other ideas. "I posted it, not thinking anything of it," Donahue said. "I thought some people would think it's funny, but not get all the attention it did." Several users replied with similarly disproportionate photos of themselves and their friends. One posted a photo of 7-foot-7 Manute Bol, the tallest player in NBA history, alongside 5-foot-3 Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history. (The two were teammates with the Washington Bullets in the late 1980s.) Another posted a photo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Hart together. Others wanted to know how tall Kramer is. "It was super funny to see the comments and people going, 'It's Photoshopped!'" Kramer said. "That's how I look in every photo. I think it's super cool." The responses were hilarious to Donahue and Kramer, as both embrace their unique statures. "I swear, people think I'm crazy when I say it, but I don't even realize my height," Donahue said. "I see pictures and go, 'Oh, I guess I am short.' But I never feel like I'm short, or feel weird. It was, I guess, weird to stand next to (Rachael) because she's so tall and I'm on the way shorter side, but not very strange." Kramer guessed she reached the 4-foot-8 mark in her early elementary school years. By the time she reached sixth grade, Kramer was 5-foot-11. Today, seemingly everywhere she goes, people tend to stare or do a double-take when Kramer walks by. She usually just smiles and laughs. Tall and proud. "I never noticed it as a kid. It was just always something where I was always taller than all the other kids," said Kramer, whose dad is 6-foot-8 and mother is 6-foot. "I never thought anything different of it, because my parents never made it special. My dad is super tall and he embraces it to the max. Whenever he's out in public he's always polite to people asking about his height. I just fed off that. "There's no reason for me to be ashamed of being tall, or think I'm different because I'm tall. It was always something to embrace and celebrate." There was one thing that did bother Kramer about the tweet though… "I'm a little disappointed she didn't tag me in the photo," Kramer joked. "She's gained about 1,000 followers, and I've gained, like, 100. It's a little disappointing there."

Publication: The Alligator Title: Fight of Their Lives: How Cancer Has Affected the Family of UF Volleyball Player Lindsey Rogers Author: Andrew Huang Link: http://www.alligator.org/sports/article_9ddcd7dc-bae6-11e7-89e3-dfb05889a6b8.html Shock is all Steve Rogers felt when he heard the news, as he was lying in his hospital bed, recovering from surgery on his ruptured pancreas. The doctors were supposed to say something along the lines of, ‘the surgery went well and you should be back on your feet soon.’ Instead, they told him he had cancer. They found it while he was on the operating table. Sixteen years ago, Steve’s life was turned upside down. He was an account executive at IBM when it happened. His wife, Wendy, was a stay at home mom, helping to raise their three kids — all under 10 years old — Christopher, Preston and Lindsey, who currently wears No. 25 for the Gators volleyball team. “I think that when they were growing up, the C-word, cancer, just meant that your dad or your mom was going to die,” Steve said. “I mean, that’s what everybody just expected from cancer, so tough on the kids because — you know, just wondering when their mom or dad is going to die.” Luckily for Steve, the doctors found the pancreatic cancer early, when it was still Stage 1. They operated, removed it and ordered up some chemotherapy to be safe. Case closed. But then, in 2003 — just a couple years after Steve fought off pancreatic cancer — the disease hit the family again. Wendy was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. She was in chemotherapy for about six months and on radiation treatments for six weeks. Hormonal therapy stuck with her for 10 years, though. Ultimately, both Steve and Wendy pushed through and saw their cancers go into remission. One of the deadliest diseases in the world picked a fight with the Rogers family, twice. And both times, it lost.

*** Faith has always been a big part of the Rogers’ family life. The family went to church together, and Christopher, Preston and Lindsey all attended Holy Comforter Episcopal School in Tallahassee. If you ask them, they’ll tell you exactly when they saw their faith in action. “(Steve) was out on a canoe trip,” Lindsey started. “He was on a rope swing and his hands were muddy and he slipped off the rope swing, and when he did that he did a belly flop and that ended up rupturing his pancreas, which caused him to go to the emergency room.” Steve doesn’t think it was an accident. “If I didn’t fall off that rope swing,” Steve said, “... they wouldn’t have found the cancer so early.” Finding it early may have been the key to saving his life. “One of the other dads on the canoe trip said ‘Steve, I saw an angel pull you off the rope swing,’” Lindsey said. “So my family is very big in just trusting in the Lord’s plan and where he leads us.” In the 1980s, that plan led Steve and Wendy to roster spots on a couple of Division I sports teams. Steve spent a year on the Florida football team, and Wendy won the 1982 national championship with the Florida State softball team. “I was there for a short time, but I decided it was time to study,” Steve said. “Wendy was on the team and was a contributor for all four years, including during the national championship season.” Christopher and Preston played golf through high school, and Lindsey took part in a number of sports growing up. She played competitive volleyball and softball until high school, when she chose to focus solely on volleyball. “I was a hitter in high school so I played front row and back row, all the way around,” Lindsey said. Her abilities on the court garnered attention from scouts trying to sign the Lawton Chiles High School star. Ultimately, she passed up opportunities to hit at smaller Division I schools to sign as a defensive specialist with a national powerhouse in Florida, led by legendary coach Mary Wise.

http://www.alligator.org/sports/article_9ddcd7dc-bae6-11e7-89e3-dfb05889a6b8.html


Since Wise took over in 1991 the Gators have owned the SEC, winning the conference 18-straight years at one point. Florida has never missed the NCAA Tournament under Wise, either. Lindsey, 22, is now in her final season with the Gators.

“It’s been a really good ride,” she said. “It’s gone by super fast, but I’ve enjoyed all of it.”

*** Steve’s checkup in December 2016 was supposed to be routine. He made the familiar trip to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, where he had always gone for his cancer treatments. Once again a procedure involving one injury exposed a more sinister problem — in this case, a simple X-ray led doctors to find lung cancer. Steve was more shocked with this news than he was the first time he was told he had cancer. He hadn’t smoked a day in his life — although he said his mother did while he was growing up. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, though. “It was Stage 1 and they removed it,” he recalled. “No chemo, no radiation. The protocol in the staging of the cancer didn’t require it, so I just recovered from the surgery and went back to work and back to leading my life.” Steve was discharged from the hospital on Christmas Eve. Lindsey called it the best Christmas present anyone in the family could ask for. A follow-up appointment in April 2017 provided more good news. “They did scans again and everything looked good,” Steve said. With some peace of mind, Lindsey headed to California. The rising senior spent the summer out west after securing an internship with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Her return home in August was marred by another wave of bad news, however. “When I came back, mom and dad said that he had had a mass on his head,” Lindsey said. But it wasn’t just her dad’s head that needed attention. After enduring another round of tests and scans, Steve was told his lung cancer was back, and worse than before. Not only was it Stage 4, but it had spread to his shoulder, hip, spine and sternum as well. The cancer had camped out in his lungs, bones and tissues — and this time it was too late for surgery. “It’s just chemicals versus cancer at this point,” Steve said.

*** So, once again, Lindsey watched her father travel to Jacksonville for treatments at the Mayo Clinic. “They got him in really quickly,” Lindsey said. “Mayo (Clinic) has done a commercial on my family, so I swear they know everyone in it. Like, you walk in there and everyone’s like ‘Hello Mr. Rogers!’” It’s still tough on Steve, though, as he deals with the rigors of cancer treatment. He was put on chemotherapy and radiation therapy immediately after the doctors’ most recent diagnosis. It’s hard to go from Tallahassee to Jacksonville every three weeks, but he tries not to let it bring him down. The doctors say he might need treatments the rest of his life. While he admits that scenario can be demoralizing, he says he’s OK with it — but there’s another thing that bothers him. “I think the misconception about (chemotherapy) treatment is that your hair falls out and you look really sick,” he said. “That doesn’t always happen.” Steve didn’t lose any hair, but he did gain perspective. He came to learn that cancer is a whole-body sickness. He learned that the mental and physical strain it puts on your body feels like a case of the flu that won’t go away. But most importantly, he learned that it’s not an individual disease. “Everybody that’s around you is affected,” he said. “Your wife, your kids, your friends, your coworkers, because they feel so bad for you.” That’s why when people tell Steve he’s in their thoughts and prayers he thanks them, but asks that they include Wendy, Christopher, Preston and Lindsey — because it’s not just his burden. Steve and Wendy are kept busy with their regular trips to Jacksonville, but they still find a way to come to Lindsey’s volleyball matches. Lindsey said they’re doing more than just supporting her and her team in the stands, though. “After all the games (Steve) goes around and says hi to everyone and is always making sure he puts a smile on people’s faces,” she said. She also said that her dad’s responding to his current regimen of treatments over at Mayo Clinic. “His spirit makes such an impact,” Lindsey said. “His fighting spirit.”

Publication: espnW Title: Florida Senior Carli Snyder is Good in Our Book Author: Vicki L. Friedman Link: http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/21327971/florida-gators-senior-carli-snyder-named-espnw-volleyball-player-week Hard to tell what's more versatile. Is it Carli Snyder's stat line during a volleyball match or her taste in reading? Consider the Florida senior packed "Gone with the Wind" for the team's weekend trip to Tennessee, and bought Stephen King's "It" in the airport. Those are two of the four books the outside hitter is currently reading. Usually her backpack carries a stash as impressive as her numbers: Snyder notched 15 kills and zero errors on 29 attempts, a .517 hitting percentage, in Florida's sweep of Kentucky last week. The Wildcats had beat the Gators 3-1 just 17 days before in Gainesville. The two teams sit tied atop the SEC. On Sunday, Snyder's double-double (12 kills and 13 digs) along with four blocks led the Gators past Tennessee. The pair of performances earned espnW national volleyball player of the week honors for the Macomb, Michigan, native. Snyder leads the Gators in service aces and kills and is second to libero Caroline Knop in digs. In between reads, we chatted with her about: "Gone with the Wind" and "It": "They're very different. I don't think I'm going to get them confused." Avenging the loss to Kentucky: "That was one of my favorite wins of my career. We played so high-IQ, and that's something our team puts a huge weight on -- how can we play smart volleyball." Playing clean: "My error percentage for the year is usually pretty low and that's something I think of -- not making an error in a bad situation. But there are times you have to go for it. It's about finding that balance." Her versatility on court: "I take the different skills I am doing and play one point at a time. That's been a huge change for me this season, playing super mindful in whatever I'm doing. So if I'm in serve-receive, I'm going to think just on serve-receive and do the best I can do with that. If I'm in first-ball attack, I'm going to make a smart play and do the best I can do. Controlling the chaos on the court is how I see my role as a senior." Fun facts: "I speak Swahili. I enjoy meditation. I love going to get coffee in different parts of Gainesville." Her major (international studies -- Africa): "I'm hoping to empower women in some way and work with refugees as far as education. I have this passion for empowering women, probably from [Florida coach] Mary Wise, because I think she's one of the most empowered women I've ever met, and so is my own mother." Vision for the Gators: "I feel really good about where we are physically and mentally. We have a really good idea of what we need to get better at by the first week of December."

"Seventeen days," senior libero Caroline Knop said. "We talked about a 17-day segment." That's because 17 days later, UF had a rematch with UK on the road. So in those 17 days, Coach Mary Wise put extra emphasis, among other things, on defending the right side and blocking the left side, all the while navigating victoriously through four league matches before making the trip to Lexington. Florida went to Kentucky and swept the Wildcats 3-0 on Nov. 1, as the Gators played one of their most complete matches of the season against a top-10 opponent. The outcome pulled UF back into a tie with UK at the top of the SEC standings. Just as pivotal, it gave the Gators some high-end brownie points as far as the Ratings Percentage Index numbers used to seed the NCAA Tournament, with the hope of, in time, earning one of the field's four No. 1 seeds and the right to play the first four rounds at home. "We want to play in front of our fans at the O'Dome. We feel like we owe them that and want to give them that," senior middle blocker Rhamat Alhassan said. "For me, I know how much I step outside myself and look into the stands and really appreciate that they're there and supporting us." The feeling is mutual, of course, and figures to be reciprocated at an even higher level this weekend. The fourth-ranked Gators (20-1, 12-1) are home Friday night against Arkansas (17-8, 7-6), then back on the O'Dome floor Sunday afternoon against Missouri (17-9, 10-3) for a senior day celebration that will honor Alhassan, Knop, outside hitters Carli Snyder and Shainah Joseph, as well as defensive specialist Lindsey Rogers. Each has their own individual story, of course, but uniquely all five hail from different states (or in Joseph's case, a different Canadian province). For each, though, the time surely has flown by. Their coach will vouch for that. "The best part is seeing the girls that arrive here mature and become the adult women they'll be the rest of their lives," Wise said. "We get to witness that change … and hopefully play a part in it." Especially when it comes to making memories. Additionally, the 2017 Gators, one of the best teams of Wise's wildly successful 27 seasons, have a chance to make history. The goal is to raise the biggest trophy of all at the end of the season, and a focused run through the final five matches of the regular season will give Florida the best chance to do that. Florida wants to be home throughout NCAA play, so stacking wins (and RPI points) is paramount, especially given that the Big Ten occupied the top three spots in the NCAA volleyball selection committee's ranking on Nov. 1 — Penn State, Minnesota and Nebraska are 1-3, respectively — with No. 4 Stanford and No. 7 Texas also in contention for a top-four seed, pending results down the stretch. To date, UF has done its part in both won-loss record and resume. The Gators took on an ambitious non-league schedule this season, beating Texas and Nebraska in their first two matches of the year, then tallied wins over ranked foes North Carolina (No. 16 at the time), Florida State (19), and Kentucky (6). A match with Michigan State (ranked No. 21 at the time, but now up to No. 8) was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma. That one, regardless of the outcome, would have padded UF's postseason profile. "They take injuries into consideration when seeding the tournament, so I hope they'll take hurricanes into consideration, as well," Wise said. "There's no guarantee we'd have beaten Michigan State, but we did schedule them." Wise, though, is far more locked in on what the Gators can control; as in what remains on her schedule. After the Razorbacks and Tigers come calling, UF is at Texas A&M on Wednesday, home one week later to Auburn, then wraps the regular season Nov. 25 at Mizzou. The NCAA Tournament begins Nov. 30 After Senior Day, the Gators will have 17 days to get where they want to be. Sound familiar? "That last 17-day segment [after Kentucky], we got exponentially better," Knop said. "How do we get better and accomplish what we

need without playing a team the caliber of Kentucky along the way? That's hard in the SEC, whereas in the Big Ten and Pac-12 they're playing Sweet 16- and Elite Eight-caliber teams every weekend. We don't have that luxury."

Knop pointed to the practice court. "So we'll create that environment in here. If we channel that focus on us, the way we all know we can, we'll be a really tough out in the postseason."



Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Gators Strive for Final Flourish at Home Author: Scott Carter Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/12/3/volleyball-gators-strive-for-final-flourish-at-home.aspx GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Following Florida's win over Miami on Friday night, a 3-1 victory that earned the Gators volleyball team a spot in the Sweet 16, fifth-year senior Shainah Joseph tried to get up from her seat at the postgame press conference. Settled in a tight spot between Gators head coach Mary Wise and teammate Carli Snyder, the 6-foot-1 Joseph got tangled up. "I've got long legs,'' she said. Joseph eventually escaped her chair and exited unscathed. The Gators did the same against the Hurricanes in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, a place they tripped a year ago in a five-set loss to Florida State. The loss to the Seminoles stung and provides a daily reminder to seniors such as Joseph, Snyder and Rhamat Alhassan, the 2017 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, how quickly a season can end this time of year. "You're not going to win any of these NCAA matches super easily,'' Snyder said. The Gators do have an extra teammate as they try to advance to the Final Four for the first time in 14 years. They are home at the O'Dome, hosting an NCAA Regional this week for the first time since 2011. The field was finalized on Saturday when Minnesota, Southern Cal and UCLA advanced. Florida faces UCLA and the winner faces the Minnesota-USC winner for a berth in the Final Four in Kansas City. As the No. 2 overall seed, the Gators (27-1) took care of Alabama State in 65 minutes on Thursday and then overcame a 16-12 deficit in the fourth set Friday against Miami to rally for a 25-23, game-clinching win. "That was another epic, second-round match that our program has been very fortunate to be a part of,'' Wise said. "We don't win this match without playing as well as we did. The margin of error is so thin. It took our best shot." The Gators have won 13 consecutive matches since suffering their only loss of the season on Oct. 15 against Kentucky. The Gators avenged that loss with a sweep of the Wildcats on the road two weeks later. This is a team that has talked all season about the ultimate goal: winning the program's first national title. The Gators have two wins down, four to go. The luxury of hosting a regional final is not lost on Wise, one of the college game's most visible ambassadors. You have to earn it on the court, first, and then have other factors beyond your control fall into place such as the building's availability.

"Only four teams in the country have that opportunity. All the stars lined up. If this was a year ago, we wouldn't be hosting. But we earned that right." You may recall a year ago when the Gators lost to FSU, the match took place in the Lemerand Center's gym, which served as the Gators' home in 2016 due to the renovation of Exactech Arena/O'Connell Center. It served its purpose, but that setting can't match that of the revamped O'Dome. "There's no fan base better to play in front of than Gator Nation,'' Snyder said. "We are so excited for that opportunity." In Friday night's win over Miami, a boisterous crowd turned out as the Gators knocked off the Hurricanes in only the second match between the schools. Hurricanes senior outside hitter Olga Strantzali finished with a game-high 20 kills and nearly single-handedly kept the Gators off-balance. Wise said if it hadn't been for the fact Strantzali was trying to beat the Gators, she would have enjoyed just watching her play. With the win over Miami, Florida improved to 19-1 all-time in the NCAA Tournament at home as a top-4 overall seed. The Gators seek to add two more wins to that impressive mark, starting against UCLA. Joseph, before her difficultly exiting the building on Friday, is optimistic the Gators have what it takes. They have won 27 of 28 matches, but they are not where they can be in her view.

"That is a very big opportunity for us. We haven't peaked," Joseph said. "We have so many things to work on. We are going to take advantage of the rest and then we will go back into the gym."

With that, Joseph brought a smile to Wise's face. "What has made this team unique, they have learned how to get better even after wins,'' she said. "It's a testament to the seniors, their drive to be great."



Publication: espnW Title: Already a champion for volleyball, Mary Wise in position to become NCAA volleyball champion Author: Mechelle Voepel Link: http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/21688023/florida-gators-volleyball-coach-mary-wise-already-trailblazer-now-position-ncaa-champion?addata=espn:ncaa:index Mary Wise isn't going to like this. A story about her? She practically cringes, and suggests you write instead about almost anything else. How about her players? She's had a lot of great teams in her 27 years as Florida's volleyball coach, and this season's team is one of her favorites. "Magical -- such a special group to be around," Wise said of the Gators, the No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, who host No. 15 seed UCLA in the regional semifinals on Friday. "They're funny, hard-working. You want to bottle it: This is the high you get from coaching." Or how about the progress of the SEC? The conference had two of the top four NCAA tournament seeds. The other is No. 4 Kentucky, also hosting a regional. And a third team, Missouri, will play No. 1 seed Penn State. Or how about volleyball in general? The sport continues to grow, Wise said, and is now shown on television more than ever. "Don't make it just about me," Wise pleads, and this isn't false modesty. This truly is Wise: always thinking about the big picture in regard to both her sport and the players she coaches. "When I got here, I thought volleyball was the most important thing, and if I wasn't playing well, it was the end of the world," Florida senior hitter Shainah Joseph said. "She told me, 'It's OK -- you're a person outside of volleyball.' She pushed me to explore academics, social life and figure out more about myself." As another Gators senior hitter, Carli Snyder, said of Wise, "I almost forget sometimes that she's someone who is that competitive, because she's also so empathetic. It shows that you can get the success that you want, while still having those personality traits." Florida's Mary Wise, one of the most accomplished volleyball coaches ever, is looking for her first national title. Wise got her 900th career victory in the Gators' regular-season finale at Missouri, a win that also secured a share of her 23rd SEC title and essentially locked up the NCAA No. 2 seed. In all divisions, only two other women at the NCAA level have reached at least 900 victories in coaching volleyball: Peggy Martin at Division II Central Missouri (1,064) and Julie Jenkins, who's spent most of her career at Division III Trinity (910). All of Wise's wins -- now 902 -- have been at the Division I level, where she is the winningest female coach and has the sixth-most victories among all coaches. Women remain a minority among women's volleyball head coaches -- just 36 percent in Division I. Of the 16 teams remaining in this year's NCAA tournament, four are coached by women: Michigan State's Cathy George, Utah's Beth Launiere, BYU's Heather Olmstead and Wise. A big part of this is that there are so few college men's volleyball programs, thus the vast majority of coaching jobs for both men and women are for women's teams. Wise, whose teams have advanced to the Final Four seven times, has been a beacon for female coaches in volleyball, especially those who also hope to raise families. Wise and her husband, Mark, have two sons. Wise says younger coaches -- men and women -- sometimes find the demands too taxing. And if they have small children, women especially may opt to leave the profession. "It breaks my heart when they get out," she said. "Just this year, I had a former assistant and a former player get out of coaching. If I was starting now, could I do it this long? It's hard. The truth is, it got much easier after both our sons went off to college." But the fact that Wise has done it so well for so many years is an inspiration to others. "I think she is a great role model," said Washington State coach Jen Greeny, who has two daughters with her husband and assistant coach, Burdette Greeny. "Mary's the first person who comes to mind when you need advice; she's someone who'll be honest with you. When you see she's got 900 wins, it makes you say, 'OK, I can stay in this for the long haul.'" So, of course, it really does makes sense, despite her protestations, to write about Wise, and everything she's meant to women's college volleyball. Because that's the thing: To tell the sport's story, you really are telling her story. Born to coach Mary Wise credits great mentors, supportive colleagues and fertile recruiting soil for her success.




In 1977, Wise -- then Mary Fischl -- was in the first group of recruited scholarship athletes to Purdue's volleyball program, which had started in 1975. She was from the Chicago suburb of Evanston, the daughter of a dentist in a family of six children, and she played multiple sports throughout grade school and high school.

Wise, in typical self-deprecating fashion, says the only reason she got her scholarship to Purdue is because a better standout -- who was also from Illinois -- chose USC instead. "Sometimes," Wise said, "you just have to be in the right place at the right time." Mary Wise is looking to book her eighth trip to the final four this weekend. In fact, though, Wise was a very successful setter at Purdue. The Boilermakers won two Big Ten titles and went to the AIAW national tournament twice, but fell in the regionals her senior year of 1980. "Still not over that loss," Wise said with a little smile. That was at the end of the AIAW era; the first NCAA volleyball tournament would be in 1981. Wise had been sure since she was in high school that she wanted to coach. And upon graduating from Purdue, she was hired as head coach at Iowa State at just 21 years old. Wise gives credit to her coach at Purdue, Carol Dewey, with teaching her and then advocating for her to get the job. And to former Iowa State assistant athletic director Elaine Hieber for taking the chance in hiring her. "Carol was ahead of the curve on so many things -- how to promote women's sports, how to get people interested," Wise said. "From Carol, I learned coaching is not just the X's and O's. It's how you deal with people, and your organizational skills. "I was very fortunate. I was so young and naïve, I didn't know what I didn't know. But I always point out that I actually did turn 22 before the first match." Still, she had players about the same age as she was, and she had a lot to figure out. Including directions. Wise had to drive one of the team vans to matches. "I was from the city where we usually took public transportation. Believe me, I had no business driving out in the cornfields," Wise said. "The first time we played at Northern Iowa, I got the vans lost. It's only, like, one turn, but I missed it. And the players that knew better were too afraid to say anything. I was almost to Minnesota." The Cyclones did finally make it to Cedar Falls ... and won the match in five sets. I'm thrilled with how far volleyball's come: how many girls are playing now, how athletic this game is, how many times we're on television, the crowds we're drawing. After four seasons at Iowa State, though, Wise had to make a decision. She had met Mark Wise while both were at Purdue; then she went to coach at Iowa State and he went to coach basketball at South Florida. "We decided if we were ever going to be together, one of us had to go where the other was," Wise said. Mark left Florida to take over an NAIA program in Kentucky, his home state. Mary decided to join him there, but couldn't find a coaching job. She even offered to be a volunteer assistant at Western Kentucky, but they already had one. "I had to laugh about it; I couldn't even get hired as a volunteer coach," Wise said. "So I went one year out of the sport." What did she do during that time? "Tried to keep myself from going crazy," she said. "Actually, I started my master's at Western Kentucky. And we met some of our dearest friends there, who were the godparents of our first child. Things have a way of working out." The next year, she was hired as an assistant at Kentucky by a woman she calls another great mentor, Kathy DeBoer, who is now executive director of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Wise stayed there five years, then saw an opportunity to become a head coach again in 1991 when there was an opening at Florida. "There were two high-profile, successful coaches that interviewed there, too," Wise said. "But again, it was a situation where someone decided to take a chance on me. "That's really the story for me: the people who took chances on me." Perfect fit for Gators Carli Snyder says coach Mary Wise has been instrumental in her development on the court and off.


Wise said she never set out to be a standard-bearer. She points to many things aligning for her success with the Gators. Club volleyball was just beginning to grow in the early 1990s, and there was talent in the state. Florida, a good destination school to draw recruits, had made the sweet 16 the year before she arrived.

And she felt a lot of camaraderie and support throughout the athletic department. Mark opted to leave coaching and get into broadcasting; he is a radio analyst for Florida men's basketball. "We found out that both of us coaching was tough," Wise said, "and it worked out great for him to stay involved with basketball, but not have to recruit anymore." Still, the balancing act wasn't easy. "Back then, there weren't many who had done [head coaching] as a mom with kids," she said. "The most important thing was 'the village,' the support system ... my husband, the friends we made, the grandparents who came down during busy times of the year." The Gators were 35-5 her first season -- and the success has never stopped. Florida's mastery of the SEC is dynastic: Her first 13 years, the Gators lost just two SEC matches. That included a stretch of nine consecutive years of perfect SEC records. Only four times in 27 years has Wise not won or shared the SEC title. She's never had a losing record as a head coach. "I'm not sure younger coaches really understand how difficult it is to sustain something like Mary has with Florida for that long of a time," Missouri coach Wayne Kreklow said. "It's really remarkable." Thus far, 37 Gators have won All-American honors playing for Wise, including 2016 Olympians Kelly Murphy and Aury Cruz. Wise's .847 winning percentage is third-highest among active women's volleyball coaches (in all NCAA divisions) who have at least 20 seasons of experience. Only Penn State's Russ Rose (.863) has a better percentage in Division I. She's the only woman to have coached in a Division I national championship match. That was in 2003, when Florida fell to a USC team that went unbeaten that year. So the only thing that's eluded Wise is a national championship. She'd love to get that, but she doesn't dwell on it. Her goal is to put the Gators in position each season to at least have a chance, and she's done it again this year. The Gators are 27-1, their only loss coming against Kentucky, 3-1 in Gainesville, Florida, on Oct 15. Then Florida avenged that with a 3-0 victory in Lexington, Kentucky, on Nov. 1. Rhamat Alhassan, a senior middle blocker who is Florida's career leader in blocks, was SEC player of the year. Four other Gators, including Joseph and Snyder, earned all-SEC honors. Now that's who Wise really wants you to focus on: Her players, especially the seniors. Joseph, a native of Canada, has been through many difficulties at Florida, including the death of her father, injuries, and fears that she would never reach her potential. But this year, her fifth at Florida, it's all come together. She's averaging 2.53 kills per set and is hitting .368. Earlier in her career, Joseph got so frustrated at times she thought perhaps she should transfer. Wise kept talking her through the hardest moments. I never want to leave. Mary has done such a good job of making this home. Now that it really is nearing time for her to go -- Joseph graduates in December -- she says, "I never want to leave. Mary has done such a good job of making this home. She is so many things to me. And she will keep being so many things, even after I leave here." Snyder leads the team in kills (339) and is second in digs (321). As multi-dimensional as she is on court, Snyder is the same off court: Full of energy and determined to make a difference. "I've changed my major like five times," said Snyder, who settled on international studies-Africa and wants to work with refugees and empowering women. "Mary's door was always open; I could always go talk to her about not just volleyball, but what I wanted to do with my life." Snyder describes her taste in clothes as eccentric, but says Wise has always encouraged her to feel comfortable with that, too. "You see some teams where everyone kind of looks like a cookie-cutter version of each other," Snyder said. "Here, our coaching staff wants people to be themselves. They'll say, 'What's your super power?' When Mary asked me that, I said, 'I think it's creativity.' And she said, 'That's exactly right. You know this about yourself. Own it. Be proud of it." Wise said seeing players blossom, watching who they are when they leave compared to when they came in, continues to make her job fulfilling. As for there still not being enough women in coaching, Wise stays optimistic. She has the same mindset in regard to volleyball's growth in general. "I think what you try to do is have perspective of how far we've come," Wise said. "It's like when you coach -- you want to coach to what your players are, not what they are not.


"I'm thrilled with how far volleyball's come: how many girls are playing now, how athletic this game is, how many times we're on television, the crowds we're drawing. We've done it by the hard work of volleyball folks."

Including, of course, Wise. "We'll be in practice when someone comes in," Snyder said of former players visiting. "It's amazing to see how proud these women are to introduce their families and to share a piece of Florida volleyball. So many people have credited a lot of their strength and confidence in life to playing for Mary. I think that would be the best feeling in the world, to have such a strong line of women following you."



Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: Goofy and Talented: Shainah Joseph Blossoms for Gators Author: Scott Carter Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/12/7/volleyball-joseph-blossoms-for-gators-volleyball.aspx GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Her career has evolved through various stages in five seasons at UF. Ups and downs, twists and turns. Nothing rare about that, even for a talent such as Gators right-side hitter Shainah Joseph. The transition from prep sensation to college freshman can be difficult, and for Joseph, a 6-foot-1 hitting machine from Ottawa, Canada, that meant playing in only four matches as a freshman. As a sophomore, Joseph started to play more, appearing in 17 matches. Still, she needed time to develop and find her place in a Florida program that ranks annually as one of the nation's best. Joseph redshirted her third season on campus. Through it all, one constant remained. "It's really fun to come to practice with someone who brings that energy daily,'' teammate Carli Snyder said. Yes, that energy. Any story about Joseph requires mention of her big personality. If you have watched Florida play, or perhaps seen her in team videos or on social media, you know Joseph is the beat that often drives the Gators' moves. On the court, Joseph can nearly jump into the rafters with a 40.5-inch vertical. Off it, she is equally full of zest. "She has always been like that. Very high-energy, very sociable,'' said Yoline Joseph, who along with her husband, Terry, raised Shainah. "She can be with kids or older people and feel very comfortable." Growing up, Shainah sprouted into what Yoline called "the goof" at boisterous family functions and the teams she played for through the years. Any time the Joseph family gets together, it's usually a "high-octane" affair according to Terry. They dance. They sing. They laugh. Shainah is the life of the party, much the way she is with the Gators. "When I'm with my family, you should see us,'' Shainah said. "I love to entertain people. We are just a crazy bunch. Every single one of my family members dance Salsa. When we are together, we always have a good time." The good times have extended to the court for Shainah as a fifth-year senior. The Gators (27-1) host UCLA (21-10) in the Sweet 16 and Joseph is a big reason why. She played one of the best matches of her career in a victory over Miami in the second round, registering 19 kills and just two errors. "She found kills in less than perfect situations,'' Gators head coach Mary Wise said. "There were a lot of transition balls that Shainah made happen." Joseph always had the height, leaping ability and raw power to dominate a match at the net. What she lacked was a deep understanding of the game, which caused her to watch more than play her first three years at UF. While training with the Canadian National Team in Vancouver last summer, Joseph faced a similar situation as to when she arrived at Florida. She had to find her place. Canada's new head coach, Marcello Abbondanza, told Joseph she was a good player with potential to help the team as it works toward the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. To make it happen, though, Joseph had work harder than some of the other players. "He is so big on mistakes,'' Joseph said. "I was a high-error athlete. I had to figure out a way I could get on the court. I had to find a way to be low-error." When Joseph returned to the Gators to prepare for her final season, she approached the season with a fresh mindset. She had already learned so much about the game from Wise to make her a much better player, but she wanted more. She sought moments like her performance against Miami. "You always want to finish your career really well,'' Joseph said. "Because of my whole career journey, I had no expectations. I think that was the best way for me to play the best that I am playing right now. I still have no expectations. If my coaches told me tomorrow that I'm not starting, I'd be like, 'OK.' It was the best way for me.

http://floridagators.com/news/2017/12/7/volleyball-joseph-blossoms-for-gators-volleyball.aspx


"I want to play volleyball after I'm done here. I want to play professionally and play for my national team and go to the Olympics, so my goal every day I step onto the court, I'm trying to get better as an athlete. I'm trying to learn as much

as I can so I can be the best athlete I can be. The rest will fall into place." Joseph's fresh outlook has helped her produce for the Gators, who are seeking their first trip to the Final Four since 2003. She has 248 kills and a .368 hitting percentage, reducing her errors from 62 to 48 with significantly more playing time than a year ago and more opportunities from setter Allie Monserez. Joseph said in the win over Miami, Monserez set her up for shots that she would have passed to someone else in past years. Yoline and Terry, who watch Florida's matches on delayed internet streams back home, can see the confidence Shainah is playing with in her face and body language. "Volleyball has always been a passion for Shainah,'' Yoline said. "She is really giving the best that she ever could to the Gators. I can see Shainah just blooming. She is not stressed at all when she is on the court. She is just playing and having fun." "We've always tried to instill a certain amount of being grateful, thankful and humble,'' Terry added. "It's pretty hard for us to be humble when we watch her play." Joseph's focus is to help the Gators get as far as they can. If they defeat UCLA on Friday, they face the Minnesota-Southern Cal winner on Saturday night at the O'Dome for a berth in the Final Four. Her famous energy is on overdrive. "You can only imagine,'' Snyder said. "It really does spread off onto the whole group." Joseph has tried to share her renewed outlook, too. She is a much different player and person than in the fall of 2013 when she got to UF. She plays much smarter. She tries to learn and teach. As her journey nears a finish, Shainah, perhaps as Yoline said, in full bloom. "I'm the oldest one here. I've been in different situations,'' she said. "I've been on the bench. I've been on the court. I've been on the court and on the bench. And now, I've been starting every game. I think that gives [my teammates] a lot of trust and respect." She is, of course, still the team's goof.



Publication: FloridaGators.com Title: The Long Wait is Over For Gators Author: Scott Carter Link: http://floridagators.com/news/2017/12/10/scott-carter-gators-win-one-for-ages.aspx GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The drama unfolded in stages, each shifting the heart-pounding tone from set to set. The UF volleyball team, playing at home as the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and with an opportunity to clinch the program's first trip to the Final Four in 14 years, won a taut first set against Southern Cal on Saturday night at the O'Dome. Would the Gators cruise past the Trojans the same way they did on Friday night against UCLA, Southern Cal's cross-town rival in Los Angeles, after losing the first set to the Bruins? In a word: No. The Trojans evened the match in the second set, and following a dominant effort in the third frame, caused plenty of squirming among the nearly 4,000 fans hoping to see the Gators advance and deliver head coach Mary Wise her eighth trip to the Final Four and another chance to claim the program's first national title. The fourth set didn't get any easier for Florida. When Niki Withers drilled a kill for a 24-23 USC lead, the Gators were on the brink of elimination. What followed was gutsy stuff. The stuff winning programs are built on. "That is what we have been working on since last year when our season ended,'' senior Carli Snyder told ESPN afterward. "We are not going to crumble when it gets tough. When someone pushes us, we are going to push back." Shainah Joseph's kill tied the score, Florida went up on Rhamat Alhassan's block, and then Joseph finished off the comeback with a kill. The match was 2-all and a fifth set loomed. The O'Dome felt like a tea kettle about to blow its top. "They didn't back off at all,'' USC coach Mick Haley said. Between the fourth and fifth sets, Joseph, a fifth-year senior who had to wait four years to play her natural position of right-side hitter, took control. As the Gators sat on the bench after getting instructions from the coaching staff, an animated Joseph paced in front of her seated teammates and barked her own orders. Joseph's adrenaline flowed like the Mississippi. What did she say? "I don't know. I kind of blacked out," she said. "At that point, you are just trying to get everybody on the same page." Joseph did recall part of the message was for setters Allie Monserez and Cheyenne Huskey, in a match USC's quick-tempo offense controlled for much of the night and made it difficult for UF's offense to stay in rhythm, to just get the ball high at the net and let the Florida's hitters get good looks. Instead, USC's dynamic sophomore Khalia Lanier (match-high 26 kills) opened the fifth with back-to-back kills as the Trojans grabbed a 3-0 lead and forced Wise to call a timeout. The Trojans' lead grew to 9-5 and for Florida's senior class, playing in its third region final in four years, the story appeared on the way to a familiar ending. Not so fast. The Gators refused to go away, reeling off six consecutive points to send the crowd into a frenzy. "We have been a part of some pretty amazing regional finals, and this one will go up with all of them,'' Wise said. Still, this one was far from over. The Trojans tied it 11-all and you wondered if they had packed a Hollywood script with them for the trip to Gainesville. And then a finish Florida fans will cherish for a long, long time. It started with Rachael Kramer's block for a 12-11 lead. At that point, Snyder, held relatively in check for much of the match, delivered at the biggest moment. USC senior Jordan Dunn, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker, said the scouting report on Snyder was clear as a sunny day. "All sharp or line,'' said Dunn.

A senior from Macomb, Mich., Snyder forced a bad set by USC's Victoria Garrick with a nasty shot that put Florida up 13-11. She followed that serve with an ace and 14-11 lead.

"She went for it at the end,'' Haley said. "A top-spin serve is a hit-or-miss proposition when you really rip it. She was able to rip it in-bounds and scored." Finally, with the crowd on its feet and a trip to Kansas City at stake, Joseph closed out the victory the same way she did in Friday's win over UCLA, with a game-clinching kill. Florida's Final Four drought was over. "It was magical to experience that," said Wise, in her 27th season. "The Gator Nation came through for us in a big way." The final score: 25-23, 20-25, 18-25, 26-24, 15-11. Pandemonium ensued when Joseph's shot hit the floor. Wise and her staff embraced in a group hug. The crowd roared loud enough to perhaps wake up a few folks in Micanopy. The players tumbled onto the ground in exhilaration. As winning moments go, the Gators delivered one to remember. "For us to win this match, it's probably the best feeling I think I've ever had,'' Snyder said. "We want to bring our best to Kansas City and we are so excited to be going there." In the end, the Gators had too many weapons and too much resiliency. Seniors Alhassan (17 points), Snyder (14.5) and Joseph (16.5) led the way. Sophomore Kramer added 14.5 points, Monserez 34 assists and the bench came through repeatedly. Haley, no stranger to facing Wise in the postseason – he was in his third season at USC when the Trojans defeated the Gators for the national title in 2003 – said this could be Wise's best team. "She's got a chance to win," he said. "The reason is because she's got so many scoring opportunities." The Gators (29-1) take a 15-game win streak to Kansas City for their national semifinal against Stanford on Thursday. The Cardinal advanced with a victory over Texas late Saturday. Four down, two to go for the Gators on their quest for that elusive national title. Whatever happens at the Final Four, on the way there, the Gators showed Saturday night why they are real contenders. They have chased this opportunity since that stunning home loss in the second round to Florida State a year ago. "We were tired, it was scary, but we were so resilient,'' Joseph said. "It was amazing." Yes, it was.
