Angelo State Volleyball

The standard for the Angelo State volleyball program has been restored and

continues to be built upon. The tradition of excellence was established with

five Lone Star Conference championships in the 1980s and two in the 1990s.

The 2012 Belles returned the program to that level, winning the LSC regular-

season championship and advancing to the program's first NCAA DII regional

finals match. The Belles are 118-53 in the last five years and have made the LSC

tournament's championship game the last three seasons. Now it's time for more.

A Tradition EstablishedWe are a program that is approaching the level where we will be competing for national championships very soon. We want to start moving up the national ladder and become a consistent program that is always in the top-10 and competing for that top spot.

Passionate fans and the Angelo State vol-leyball team share the Junell Center in the fall, coming together for matches that are both exciting and most oft en victorious for the Belles.

Visiting teams and their fans also enjoy the comforts and amenities that the Junell Center off ers, but they also fear the Belles on their home court. And for very good reason.

Angelo State is 62-13 in the last six seasons at home, including recording a dominant 11-0 mark in the regular season in 2012 and 13-1 records on the Stephens Arena court in 2013 and 2011. A total of 7,468 packed the gym in 2012 to put Angelo State third in attendance in the entire nation. ASU earned the right to host the Lone Star Conference tourna-ment in 2012 aft er winning the conference's regular-season title and securing its fi rst undefeated regular-season record in pro-gram history. In fact, only three of the 11 home matches in the regular season went beyond three sets and none went fi ve.

Th e fi nal match of the LSC tournament saw 1,314 fans cheering on the action by clinging

to their seats during dramatic moments and jumping out of the seats during winning points. Th e Belles swept Incarnate Word to open the tournament behind 1,246 fans on the fi rst day before taking a 3-2 heart-pumping win over Texas Woman’s in

the semifi nals with 1,304 fans in the stands. Th e combination of strong play from the

team and relentless passion from the fans makes the Junell Center one of the best environments for volleyball in the nation. Addicting for fans, the fast-paced dominance the Belles display throughout the season brings them back to cheer on their favorite players and push the team to greatness. Home court advantage for the Belles goes far beyond not having to travel and it is something that players and coaches from throughout the country wish they had at their school.

Angelo State volleyball is special and is on center stage every match it plays at the Junell Center. At ASU, it’s not simply a cliché to say that the best play in front of the best. It's what we live every match we play.

WaddingtonChuck Waddington and the

Angelo State Belles have put the volleyball nation on notice.

Waddington, who is in his seventh sea-son in 2014, has guided the Belles to the NCAA Division II South Central Regional Championships fi nals for the fi rst time in school history and to their fi rst Lone Star Conference regular-season title since 1992. He was named the conference's 2012 Coach of the Year and helped Alex Woolsey, Maddie Huth, Maggi Jo Keff ury and Shelbi Goode towards earning All-America honors. He has accumulated 143 overall wins, 76 Lone Star Conference victories, four straight LSC Tournament championship game ap-pearances and the program’s fi rst NCAA Division II postseason victories in 20 years.

Waddington and the Belles hosted the LSC Championship in 2012 and advanced to the NCAA DII South Central Regional Championships for the second straight season where they beat Adams State and Regis University to advance to the fi nals. ASU followed the historic season by returning to the regional fi nals in 2013 after beating Texas Woman's and No. 16 Colorado School of Mines. The 2012 Belles went 18-2 in conference play and had Woolsey earn the conference's Setter of the Year, Shelby Wilt taking Libero of the Year, Goode tabbed as Newcomer of the Year along with Huth, Woolsey, Wilt and Goode being tabbed as First-Team mem-bers. Kaelen Valdez earned Second-Team honors and Chelsea Gibson was an honor-able mention selection. Wilt, Huth, Goode and Woolsey were also recognized on the AVCA South Central Regional Team.

Waddington arrived at Angelo State after fi ve years as the assistant coach at Florida Southern College where he helped guide the Moccasins to fi ve straight NCAA Division II National Tournament appearances. ASU is 118-53 under Waddington’s leadership and reached the NCAA Tournament in 2011 – an accomplishment that the program had not experienced in 19 seasons. The Belles beat St. Edward’s at the South Central Regional (in Warrensburg, Missouri) for its fi rst national tournament win in 20 sea-sons and advanced to the LSC tournament every year since his arrival in San Angelo.

He has coached three All-Americans at Angelo State, 17 players who have been honored by the LSC for their play in the regular season (fi ve two-time winners), 12 All-LSC Tournament selections and fi ve AVCA All-South Central Region selections.

Waddington began his coaching career with a one-year stint at Fulton-Montgomery Community College in Johnstown, New York, before serving six years as the head coach at Bishop Verot High School in Fort Myers, Florida. During his tenure at BVHS, the volleyball team went 127-58, claimed fi ve district titles, advanced to the Class 3A semifi nals and he earned the district’s coach of the year all six seasons.

It was from Bishop Verot that Waddington took his coaching passion to Florida Southern as an assistant. The Moccasins were 136-44 during the fi ve years the Belles’ head coach was there. He mentored 20 All-Sunshine State Conference honorees, 15 all-region selections, 10 All-Americans and six academic all-district performers.

A native of Johnstown, New York, Waddington earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (N.Y.) in 1993. He added his master’s degree in education from Florida Southern in 2006.

Waddington and his wife, Mandi, have two daughters, Bailey (15) and Riley (1), and a son, Jaxsen (8).

Chuck Waddington has led the Belles to the NCAA DII Championships three straight years.

The Belles got off to a strong start to the Waddington era in 2008 by going 20-14 overall and 8-5 in Lone Star Conference play. ASU advanced to the conference tournament after fi nishing the regular season on a three-match winning streak and played tough against four nation-ally ranked opponents. Kimber Duncan (Prinville, Ore.) led ASU with 324 kills and Tess Brindock had 1,181 assists. The team’s success brought out the fans to the Junell Center, tripling the attendance total from the previous season.

ASU won its fi rst round game of the LSC tournament in Waddington’s second season by defeating Texas Woman’s in a hard-fought fi ve-set match. The Belles fi nished the 2009 season with a 10-3 confer-ence record and dominated in the Junell Center with a 9-2 record. Alaina Sivells (Marble Falls) led ASU with 319 kills during the season while Alex Woolsey (Plano) recorded 998 assists in her freshman season. The Belles started the 2009 season by winning eight of their fi rst 10 matches.

Waddington led the Belles to the LSC tournament’s championship match for the fi rst time since 1992 in his third season as head coach. ASU fi nished the season with a 12-2 conference record and beat Central Oklahoma (3-0) and No. 22 Abilene Christian (3-0) en route to the title match. Chelsea Gibson (Spring Branch) led the Belles with 310 kills during her sopho-more season while Woolsey recorded 1,135 assists.

ASU advanced to the NCAA DII postseason, were 17-3 in conference play, 13-1 at the Junell Center and advanced to the LSC title match for the second straight season in Waddington’s fourth season. The Belles won 18 matches in straight sets and had their fi rst 30-win season since 1992. ASU fi nished the sea-son with a 31-6 record, includ-ing beating St. Edward’s in the fi rst round of the NCAA DII South Central regional in Warrensburg, Mo. The Belles won the fi rst set against the region’s top-seed Central Missouri in the second round of the tour-nament before seeing the his-toric season end in a four-set loss.

ASU’s season that featured a 29-6 record and the Belles’ fi rst Lone Star Conference regular-season championship since 1992 ended one win away from their fi rst-ever trip to the NCAA national tourna-ment, but not before the 2012 team established itself as the most deco-rated group in program history along with Chuck Waddington being named the conference's Coach of the Year. The accolades came through-out the season with 14 LSC Player of the Week honors, six players earn-ing All-LSC recognition and three players being named All-Americans.

The Belles were nationally ranked in the top-10 throughout most of the season, and advanced farther in the regional tournament than any team in ASU his-tory. Waddington and the Belles fi nished the year with a 29-6 record and at No. 10 in the AVCA's fi nal poll of the season.

’13Angelo State returned

to the NCAA DII South Central Championships for the third straight season and advanced to the regional fi nals for the second straight year in 2013. In Waddington's sixth season, the Belles went 13-1 at home and reached the LSC tourna-ment fi nals for the fourth straight season. Under his leadership, Maddie Huth and Maggi Jo Keff ury were named AVCA All-Americans and Shelby Wilt joined Huth and Keff ury as all-region selections.


A veteran coach with experience throughout all levels of college volleyball, Brett Sikora is entering his fi rst season as an assistant volleyball coach at Angelo State where he will join a program which has advanced to the past three NCAA Division II South Central Championships and the past two regional fi nals.

Sikora, who is a Battle Creek, Michigan native and most recently coached last season at Hendrix College, takes over the position from former ASU assistant coach Qi Wang who was named the head coach at Cameron University in January.

“I am very excited to add Brett to our staff ,” ASU head coach Chuck Waddington said. “He comes with a great deal of experience at a number of diff erent levels including a top-5 Division II program and a top-25 Division I program. His energy and initiative should help us both in the gym and on the recruit-ing trail. He has a strong understanding of what it takes for a program to compete at the highest level and should fi t in well here.”

Along with coaching at Hendrix College, Sikora has also gained coaching experience at Middle Tennessee State, Arkansas Tech, Grand Valley State and Western Michigan University. During his career, he has helped the accumulated programs to a 186-65 overall record and has assisted in guiding teams to four conference championships, three regional tournaments and has experi-enced two NCAA Division II Championships when Grand Valley State reached the 2007 Elite Eight and the 2008 Final Four.

“I’m really look forward to learning from coach Waddington and helping the program improve on the success it has had,” Sikora said. “There is a strong group of returners and tal-ented newcomers that are going to be capable of doing big things this year. That’s exciting for me to be coming into such a great opportunity.”

Sikora comes to Angelo State after helping guide Hendrix College to its best season in pro-gram history last season. The Warriors went 20-12 and saw four players earn all-conference honors along with the freshman of the year. At HC, he served as the recruiting coordinator and assisted with practice planning along with scouting and off ensive game plan strategizing.

“I emphasize team work, competition and fi nding a way to be successful,” Sikora said. “I want to help our players to be prepared to face all kinds of situations.”

Sikora broke into coaching volleyball at Western Michigan University where he served as a volunteer assistant coach while pursuing his bachelor’s degree. While work-ing with the Division I program, he focused on training and developing the middle blockers and outside hitters. The team saw three players earn all-conference honors. Sikora earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education at Western Michigan.

The next step in his coaching journey took him to Grand Valley State where he worked two seasons as the program’s graduate assistant coach. The team went 66-8 dur-ing his time there and won two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference championships and advanced to the DII Elite Eight both seasons by winning the NCAA DII Midwest Regional Championship. In his fi nal year at GVSU, the Lakers made the 2008 Final Four and the program produced four AVCA All-Americans and 12 all-conference players.

Sikora’s fi rst full-time position came at Arkansas Tech where he worked with the Golden Suns during the 2009-11 seasons. ATU had a 90-22 overall record and a 35-5 Great American Conference mark during his tenure. The team won the 2011 GAC regular season and tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA DII South Central Championships in Warrensburg, Mo. along with the Belles. ASU and Arkansas Tech did not meet in the tournament. During his time at ATU, Sikora coached 13 all-conference players and two AVCA All-Americans. He earned a Masters of Education, Secondary Physical Education from Arkansas Tech.

Our All-AmericansThe All-America list for the Angelo

State volleyball program more than doubled since the 2012 season with Shelbi Goode, Maddie Huth, Maggi Jo Keff ury and Alex Woolsey being named American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Division II All-Americans. Goode, Huth and Woolsey were tabbed AVCA All-Americans in 2012, while Huth followed with an AVCA All-America honorable mention selection in 2013 along with setter Keff ury.

Woolsey and Huth became the fi rst Belles in history to be named AVCA First-Team All-America, while Goode was named to the AVCA Third-Team after the 2012 season when ASU won the Lone Star Conference Championship. Huth’s selection in 2013 made her the fi rst two-time All-American in program history.

Huth continued her evolution into one of the most feared players in the nation with a tremendous junior season. The Colony native had 387 kills this season and fi nished the year with a .355 hitting percentage. She also led the Belles with 131 blocks and was named to the NCAA DII South Central All-Tournament team, the AVCA South Central All-Region Team, to the LSC fi rst-team and was a two-time LSC Off ensive Player of the Week. She will enter her senior season next year with 757 career kills and 272 blocks. She

ranks seventh in program history in kills and third all-time in blocks. Huth led the Belles in blocks the past three sea-sons and fi nished her senior season with 23 double-digit kill performances and nine matches with fi ve or more blocks.

“It’s really rewarding because we all worked extremely hard this season as a team and as individuals,” Huth said. “We were all out there trying our best to improve to make this a great season and it paid off . It’s a very humbling award.”

Woolsey is the all-time career leader in assists with 5,175 and fi nished her senior season with 1,484 assists. Along with being named an All-American, she was also named to the NCAA DII South Central All-Tournament team, the AVCA South Central All-Region Team, the LSC Setter of the Year, to the LSC fi rst-team, to the LSC All-Tournament team and she was a four-time LSC Setter of the Week selection.

“I’d be lying if I said becom-ing an All-American wasn’t a goal of mine,” Woolsey said. “As a set-ter, I don’t get this award unless the rest of the team is performing and they all did that the entire year.”

Goode led the Belles this season with 448 kills and added 69 blocks. The junior from Georgetown trans-ferred into Angelo State this year after playing two seasons at the University of Alabama and provided the Belles

with an off ensive threat that stifl ed opponents throughout the year. Goode was named the LSC’s Newcomer of the Year, to the AVCA South Central All-Region Team, to the NCAA DII South Central All-Tournament team and was a three-time LSC Off ensive Player of the Week selection.

Keff ury earns the honorable men-tion selection after being named to the AVCA South Central fi rst-team in her fi rst season at Angelo State. A fi ve-time LSC Setter of the Week, Keff ury was named to the LSC fi rst-team this season after providing 1,453 assists and 356 digs in her junior season.

“I’m just really grateful for the opportunity to be here at Angelo State,” Keff ury said. “None of these awards would have happened for me without the great teammates and coaches that are here. My team-mates are the ones who get me the passes and the hitters get the kills.”

Keff ury’s assist total this season is the fourth most for a single sea-son in program history. Keff ury had 32 matches with 30 or more assists, 18 matches with 40 or more assists and eight matches with 50 or more assists. The Arroyo Grande, Calif. native established a career-high with 59 assists in the LSC Championship Finals against West Texas A&M.

Prior to 2012, two ASU Belles had achieved the highest honor in volleyball – being named an All-American. Middle blocker Brenda Virjan was the fi rst to be awarded that honor, being named a second team selection for ASU by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) as a junior in 1980. She helped the Belles to a 35-20-1 record and a berth in the state AIAW fi nals. The winner of the 1981 Nathan’s Award for volleyball, Virjan is currently a physical education teacher at San Antonio’s Hirsch Elementary School. Middle Blocker Rose Molinar was a second team selection by the American Volleyball Coaches Association as a senior in 1992. She averaged 4.4 kills per set and 1.9 blocks per match, helping the Belles to a 33-8 record, the LSC Tournament Championship and a berth in the NCAA Division II National Tournament.

ANGELO STATE ATHLETIC HALL OF HONOR

KIRBY JAMESON

ALL-AMERICANS

Kirby Jameson became the fi rst Belle to be inducted into the Angelo State Athletic Hall of Honor. She was part of the inaugural class that included football standout Pierce Holt and former ASU basketball coach Phil George. A setter and outside hitter, Jameson was an All-Lone Star Conference player in volleyball, earning the honor in 1982 and 1983. She was also twice honored on All-LSC Tournament Teams, in addition to Academic All-LSC laurels in 1982 and 1983.

ASU volleyball has a reputation for fi erce competition on the court, academic accomplishment, and success after graduation. I am proud to have been a part of that and salute the ASU players...past and present.

Kathleen Brasfi eldFormer ASU head coach (1978-2004)

The Junell Center is one of the most recognizable buildings on the Angelo State University campus and is home to one of the fi nest playing courts in ncaa Division II—the Stephens Arena.

The facility provides a fi rst-class setting for educational, cul-tural, social and athletic events. Accommodating audiences up to 5,600, the Junell Center has allowed the university to bring commencement activities, previously staged in the city’s coliseum, home to the campus. The Junell Center also serves as home to asu’s athletic staff , off ering a support complex with offi ces, conference rooms and classrooms—many of which are designed to serve multiple uses.

Adjacent to the arena fl oor are the dressing rooms for the Rams and Rambelles athletic teams. These are supported

by a sports medicine center, equipment rooms, storage facilities and a laundry room. Two weight rooms look out over the track complex through gleaming glass walls.

A specially appointed vip Lounge is housed in the Junell Center, overlooking the Stephens Arena fl oor. The lounge is the site for dinners, receptions and other programs requiring that extra touch of class. The Angelo State Athletic Hall of Honor on the Junell Center concourse heralds the accomplishments of asu athletes through the ages.

Speaking engagements, distinguished lecture series, cultural programs, exhibitions and concerts are just a few of the community activities that are staged in the facility. The Junell Center was made

possible by funding from the Texas State Legislature in a $30 million package made avail-able for the construction of the new special events center and renovation of the existing Houston Harte University Center.

The university’s Board of Regents approved the plans for the new center at an estimated cost of $20 million. Groundbreaking ceremonies The fi rst athletic contest to be held in the facility was on Jan. 17, 2002, as the Rams and Rambelles hosted Texas a m University-Kingsville in a basketball doubleheader.

The center is on university-owned property on Varsity Drive, just off of Jackson Street and north of the LeGrand Sports Complex.

DominicminicA purebred Rambouillet ram, Dominic stands as a proud symbol of Angelo State University and the institution s ties to the region and its people.

A domesticated breed originating in Spain over two centuries ago, the Rambouillet are compact, white-wooled sheep with rams that proudly carry long, curving horns.

The fi rst Rambouillet ram “Shorty” was donated to the college in 1940 by area rancher D.T. Jones, who had two daughters attending the school. Jones generosity typifi ed the West Texas spirit and the support ASU has had throughout its history from the people of San Angelo and the surrounding area.

ATHLETIC STUDY CENTER

The goal of the Athletic Study Center is to act as the primary academic support contact for student-athletes. The center holds the offi ce of the Athletic Academic Coordinator (acc) for easy visibility and reach. The center houses laptop computers, printers, and individual and collaborative work stations.

ADVISING

All academic advising is provided through the individual colleges and academic departments.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

During each semester, the acc surveys the professors of each student-athlete three times. In each grade check, professors are asked to provide academic progress information such as attendance, current grade, at-risk or not, and any additional comments.

MENTORSHIP

The acc provides weekly sessions with mentors for student-athletes identifi ed as “at-risk” based on acc and coach recommendations. Dur-ing the sessions, grade updates and upcoming assignments are discussed. Assignments are reviewed and study plans are implemented if necessary.

TUTORING

Free tutoring is available for student-athletes in Angelo State University’s Tutor Center. In addition to having tutors avail-able for nearly every general education class as well as many upper-level classes, specialized tutoring units include the Math lab, Writing Center, Modern Language tutoring, Accounting lab and Supplemental Instruc-tion (si). The si program off ers extracurricular peer tutor-ing groups for traditionally tough classes. Study sessions are led by students who have completed and earned high grades in the courses. si ses-sions are conducted multiple times throughout the week.

AcademicsHelping our student-athletes achieve academic success is essential for our program. In addition to having academic resources within the Athletics Department, our athletes also receive assistance from other programs available to all ASU students.


The Angelo State Athletic Foundation is a non-profi t 501-c3 organization whose sole mission is to provide support to Angelo State Athletics. A priority for the Athletic Foundation is scholarship funding above what the University provides to ensure asu reaches the maximum equivalencies allowed by

ncaa rules. The Athletic Foundation also provides funding in support of recruiting the next generation of Rams and ’Belles, life skills programming for student-athletes, academic support for student-ath-letes, and other initiatives important to the welfare of student-athletes and the success of athletic teams.
