2 0 0 8 V o l l e y b a l lS e a s o n O u t l o o kA N e w E r aThe 2008 Newberry College volleyball season is aboutto begin. Last season’s team rewrote the record books,but this year the team plans on crushing everyone’s expectationsyet again.They may have lost a few starters and last year’s headcoach, but this team has a new coach with big expectationsand an offense that could go down as the best inNewberry history.New coach David Nicholson and his team are gunningfor the SAC title and plan on setting a new standardfor Newberry volleyball. Coach Nicholson is very confidentand has no worries about the team adjusting to hiscoaching style.“I think the transition will be relatively easy because MattSonnichsen and I have pretty similar styles,” says Nicholson.“Not a lot of yelling and screaming, but a lot ofdirection.”8/29 vs. Armstrong Atlantic State^ 4 p.m.8/30 vs. North Greenville^ 11 a.m.8/30 at Anderson^ 5 p.m.9/2 USC Aiken 7 p.m.9/4 at Belmont Abbey 7 p.m.9/9 Lander 7 p.m.9/12 vs. St. Andrews Presbyterian^^ 4:30 p.m.9/12 at USC Aiken^^ 7 p.m.9/13 vs. Valdosta State^^ 10 a.m.9/13 vs. Charleston (W.

Priscila Sales (Belo Horizonte,Brazil) will start her senior season and second season at Newberry. Last season Sales was Newberry’s most productiveplayer on offense. She shattered school records and now owns the title of most kills in a single season with 403. Sales finishedlast season on the all-SAC first team and enters this season on the preseason all-SAC first team as well.Lorena Maia (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) will also be returning to the roster this season. Last year Maia was a force to be reckonedwith 225 kills and 0.58 services aces per game. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Maia has a legitimate chance ofbecoming the all-time career leader in kills and service aces at Newberry College.The list of talented outside hitters does not stop with Maia and Sales. Kara Harris (Grandview, Texas) and Kember Lichtie(Amarillo, Texas) will also try to make a significant offensive impact this season. Harris averaged 1.36 kills a game last seasonwhile Lichtie missed most of 2007 due to a knee surgery.2 0 0 8 V o l l e y b a l l M e d i a G u i d e


2 0 0 8 V o l l e y b a l lS e a s o n O u t l o o kM i d d l e B l o c k e rNewberry may be losing two of its top players at this position,but the team believes it has enough depth to still be aforce along the net. Niki and Dani Hroblak (Lake Wylie, S.C.)will be looking to have breakout seasons in 2008. These twoplayers were reserves last season, but the time is now forthem to help Newberry achieve its goal of winning the SouthAtlantic Conference.S e t t e rLast season’s freshman sensation Brianna Blakely (Houston,Texas) is returning to Newberry. Blakely put up historic numberslast year racking up 9.6 assists per game. After one seasonof collegiate volleyball she is already 10th all time amongthe career assists leaders at Newberry.S c h e d u l eCoach Nicholson believes the schedule is favorable and a runat the conference championship is the ultimate goal. The teamwill start the season off at the Anderson University Invitational,a tournament in which the team will face strong opponents outsidetheir conference and give Newberry fans a glimpse into howgood this team can be.Newberry’s home opener will be September 2 against USC Aiken.The conference schedule begins on September 19 at MarsHill. On October 7, the team will play at Wingate for what may bethe most crucial match of the season. Wingate defeated Newberrythree times last season on their way to winning the SACchampionship. An early win against them will be a big boost forthe scarlet and gray.Backing up Blakely is freshman setter Lindsey Hollingsworthfrom Charleston S.C. Hollingsworth played high school volleyballat Bishop England High School where she won the highschool state championship three times. Her championship experiencewill help this team on and off the court.Defensive Specialist/LiberoNewberry’s defense will be anchored in the back row by returninglibero Nadia Andrade (Belo Horizonte, Brazil). In herfreshman season she was Newberry’s best defensive weaponin the back court. She led the team in total digs and averaged3.09 digs per game, which is seventh in the Newberry singleseason record book.Andrade will have some help in the back this year from incomingdefensive specialist Brittany Wood (Pendleton, S.C.).Wood played high school volleyball at Pendleton HS andreceived all region honors twice. Wood, along with Hollingsworth,will have the opportunity to have an immediate impactin her freshman season.Last season’s overall record of 19-9 was the best in Newberryhistory, but those accomplishments are now in the past. Lichtieknows that this team can do better and hopes that Newberry fanswill come out and cheer them on all season.“I hope everyone can come out and support us and we promiseto bring some great entertainment and competition.”B r i a n n a B l a k e l y“Their participation will force competition for playing time andthat will drive all of us to be better, plus our practice reps willbe at a higher level,” Kember Lichtie says.N e w b e r r y A t h l e t i c S i t e . c o m

Upon receiving his undergraduate degree fromthe NAIA institution, he began his career as an admissions recruiterand assistant baseball coach while working on his master’s ofbusiness administration at Lindenwood University. His degreecompletion led him to a faculty position as an Instructor of BusinessAdministration and Economics at Missouri Baptist, while at the sametime serving the school as head baseball coach.Carter took over as baseball coach in 1991 and during hisnine seasons at the helm won seven consecutive conference championships. Seven yearsinto a successful coaching career, he also took over as Missouri Baptist’s athletic director. Heserved in both roles for two years before leaving coaching in order to devote all his attentionto administrative duties.Almost immediately upon his arrival at Newberry, Carter presented the Board of Trusteeswith the “Newberry College Athletic Initiative”, a long-term plan to secure future athletic success,while maintaining Newberry’s excellent academic record for its athletics teams. Newberry hasundergone an overhaul of its athletic program, instituting a stringent evaluation process for allvarsity sports.The results were almost immediate, as the athletic program nearly doubled SouthAtlantic Conference victories in consecutive years under Carter’s reign. Also, for the first timesince 1999, Newberry enhanced its offering of varsity sports, adding wrestling and competitivecheerleading.Academic achievement and student development are the cornerstones of the department.A growing student-athlete population (222 in 2002-03 up to 500 in 2007-08) have set thestandard in the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) by winning four of the past five GPA titles andhave achieved a cumulative GPA as high as 3.01 (2007-2008). The College’s commitment, asevidenced by the implementation of our Mentoring Skills program, is to maintain this successfor the future.The student-athlete experience directly correlates to the relationship they have with theirhead coach. Annual evaluations and emphasis on desired results produced by the head coachesin the department aided in staff hiring and the development process. The success in hiring anddeveloping all departmental staff (Coaches, administration, and staff) is directly correlated tothe commitment shown by the College.The tenure of our head coaches, each program’s win-loss records, and the quality of eachincoming recruiting class provide a window of the varied levels of success that will continueblessing the College for years to come.Facility enhancement has also been a major focal point for this administration. In thesummer of 2006 a new Astro Turf football field was installed. This provided a state of the art fieldfor practice and competition. The team responded by winning all 9 games played at Setzler Field,including our first ever NCAA DII post-season victory. Through the fall 2007 season, Newberryfootball has produced a 15-0 home record on the new turf.The 2007-2008 academic year brought the Phase I completion of the first of three newfacilities at the Smith Road Athletic Complex with the completion of the Baseball facility. Thisfacility will be the proud home for Newberry baseball for years to come and will provide a greatopportunity to engage our community. The other facilities slated for the Smith Road Complexare new Softball and Soccer facilities. Also, the Newberry basketball and volleyball teamsbegan playing last season on a new finished gym floor, powered by a brand new, state-of-theart lighting system.Future plans include new facilities for the men’s and women’s tennis teams, a practicefacility for the Wrestling program, and determining the best course of action to give the footballfacilities at Setzler Field its first facelift in almost 20 years.Success on the fields, courts, and fairways has come as the result of great processes.Our coaches have taught their student-athletes that we must win every day; in the classroom andon the fields, courts, and fairways. During the 2002-03 year we won 19% of SAC competitions.The progress has been steady and reached 53% in 2006-2007. This marked the first time thedepartment ever eclipsed the 50% winning percentage since becoming a DII SAC member.Other competitive successes have come in the All-Sports competition. In 2002-03, we scored21 points across the 14 representative sport programs. This placed Newbery last in the SACstandings, a place they have finished each year. Once again, the rise has been steady as wescored successively more points each year leading up to the 2006-07 year when we scored 76points and finished third in the standings, only 6 points out of first place.As the Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, he serves on the Newberry President’sCabinet, under Dr. Mitchell Zais. He also is member of the National Association of Collegiate Directorsof Athletics and serves as a Board Member for the D2 Athletics Director’s Association.Carter is married to his wife of 23 years, Rena.
