HEAD COACH SUSAN ROBERTSSusan Roberts enters her 22nd season as the head

volleyball coach at Grove City College.During her tenure at Grove City, Roberts has con-

structed one of the region’s premier programs.Since taking over as head coach in 1985, Roberts

has directed Grove City to nine Presidents’ AthleticConference (PAC) championships along with threeEastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) SouthernChampionships.

In 2005, Roberts directed an extremely young GroveCity squad to a 15-15 record along with the champion-

ship at the season-opening Oberlin Invitational.On Sept. 30, 2004, Roberts became the 14th active Division III women’s

volleyball coach to reach the 500-win mark as Grove City swept Thiel, 3-0. Over-all, Roberts has a 521-31 career record in 23 years as a head volleyball coach. In21 years at Grove City, Roberts is 469-272.

Roberts made an immediate impact on the Grove City program, leadingGrove City to a 41-1 record in 1985, including the program’s first PAC title anda berth in the NCAA Championship Tournament.

Roberts earned the Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association’s Division IIICoach of the Year award following the 1985 season. Grove City finished theregular season ranked No. 1 nationally in the AVCA poll in 1985.

Grove City closed the 1980s as the PAC’s dominant program, winningconference titles in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1989. That dominance continued intothe 1990s as the Wolverines won PAC crowns in 1992, 1993 and 1995.

The 1994 team became the first College team to earn an ECAC title as theWolverines swept Washington and Jefferson and Rutgers-Newark for the ECACSouthern Championship crown. Grove City repeated as ECAC champion in1995.

Grove City returned to the top of the PAC in 2000, capturing the program’seighth conference title under Roberts’ guidance. Grove City advanced to theECAC Southern Championship Tournament semifinals before falling to top-seeded Carnegie Mellon.

The following year, the Wolver-ines stormed to their ninth PAC titleand returned to the ECAC Tourna-ment. Entering as the sixth seed inthe six-team tournament, the Wol-verines upset Johns Hopkins,Franklin and Marshall and hostMoravian to clinch their third ECACtitle in seven years.

A native of Ontario, Ohio, Rob-erts added the title of Associate Di-rector of Athletics prior to the startof the 1998 season. From 1985-93,Roberts coached Grove City’swomen’s basketball team and thencoached the softball program from1994-98.

She earned her undergraduate degree in physical education from OhioUniversity in 1975 and then earned her master’s degree in biomechanics fromthe University of Arizona.

VOLLEYBALL 20063

2006 SEASON PREVIEWWith eight returning upperclassmen in its projected

lineup, the Grove City College volleyball team featuresplenty of depth and experience in preparation for the2006 season.

Grove City returns its entire starting lineup fromlast season as the 2005 roster featured no seniors.

The Wolverines will rely on three senior tri-captainsin their drive towards a Presidents’ Athletic Conferencetitle. Senior middle hitter Carlie Roberts is a three-yearstarter while senior libero Emily Rossol and senior out-side hitter Allison Cummings are both two-year fixturesin the Wolverine rotation.

Roberts earned First Team All-PAC honors follow-ing the 2005 season after leading Grove City in kills,hitting percentage, aces and blocks. She led the PAC inhitting percentage and blocks.

Rossol led Grove City in digs after moving into thestarting libero position during the preseason.Cummings, meanwhile, ranked second on the team inassists, third in blocks and fourth in hitting percentagelast year. Cummings, Roberts and Rossol all played in all107 games last season.

Grove City will also count on a talented quintet ofjuniors this season. Kim Walsh enters her third seasonas the Wolverines’ starting setter.

She averaged 10.50 assists per game last year, fourthin the PAC.

Juniors Brittany Anderson and Katie Skinner alsoreturn for their third season. Like Walsh, Andersonplayed in all 107 games last year. Anderson finishedsecond on the team in blocks from her middle hitterpost.

Carlie Roberts (left) and Natalie Liberati rankedfirst and second, respectively, in hitting percentagein the PAC during conference play.

Skinner is looking to move into the starting lineupon a full-time basis this year after injuries sidelined herfor a significant portion of 2005.

Grove City also returns a pair of second-year play-ers in juniors Heather Fraiz and Brooke Mincey. Fraizfinished second to Rossol in digs last year. Fraiz playedin all 30 matches in her first season as a member of theWolverine program.

Mincey played in 89 total games as a defensive spe-cialist and will again likely be a key contributor to GroveCity’s defense.

Grove City also returns a pair of sophomoreletterwinners in middle hitter Natalie Liberati and out-side hitter Meghan Glenn. Liberati emerged as her fresh-man season progressed and ultimately finished secondon the team in kills and hitting percentage.

Glenn appeared in eight matches as a rookie in2005 and will compete for a spot in the Wolverine rota-tion this fall.

Junior middle hitter Brittany Anderson is a two-year letterwinner for Grove City.

Senior Emily Rossol is entering her second year asGrove City’s starting libero.

While the College haschanged to meet the needs of thesociety it serves, its basic philoso-phy has remained unchangedsince its founding in 1876. It is aChristian, liberal arts institution,dedicated to the principle of pro-viding the highest quality educa-tion at the lowest possible cost.

Wishing to remain truly inde-pendent and to retain its distinc-tive qualities as a private schoolgoverned by private citizens (trust-ees), it is one of few colleges in thecountry that does not accept fed-eral monies.

Affiliated with the Presbyte-rian Church (U.S.A.), but not nar-rowly denominational, the Col-lege believes that to be well-edu-cated a student should be exposedto the central ideas of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
