MOCS LOOK TO SNAP FOUR-MATCH SKIDChattanooga (4-6, 0-0 SoCon) has its eyes on snapping a current four-match skid with Wednesday’s non-conference showdown with in-state foe MTSU (3-6, 0-0 C-USA). After taking the Chattanooga Classic title over the Labor Day weekend, UTC has dropped its last four, three of which were to 2017 NCAA Tournament participants (WKU, Miami (OH) & Notre Dame) at the WKU Invitational.

PLUMLEE EARNS ALL-TOURNAMENT HONOR AT WKUSenior Emily Plumlee was named to the WKU Invitational All-Tournament team for her play over the weekend. Plumlee finished with 14 kills at a team-high .455 hitting percentage while picking up six block assists. She posted six kills at .857 in Friday’s match against Miami (OH).

FILAR CLOSING IN ON MILESTONEHead coach Travis Filar sits only two wins shy of 100. Currently in his 8th season at UTC, Filar has totaled 98 wins & captured the ‘15 SoCon Regular season title.

Playing all 36 sets, Szczepanski leads the team in kills (81), total blocks (21) and service aces (11). She was named the Chattanooga Classic ‘Most Outstanding Player’ as well as the SoCon Player of the Week (Sept. 3).

LANGHAIM SHOWING OFF VERSATILITYFreshman setter Jaquelyn Langhaim has shown she can do it all for UTC this season. She currently leads the team with 203 assists and ranks 3rd with 59 kills. Langhaim totaled 17 kills & 26 assists last weekend against UNA, posting the first kill-assist double-double since 1999.

Over the last seven years, Travis Filar has worked tirelessly to bring new life to the Uni-versity of Tennessee at Chattanooga volleyball program. Since becoming the program’s sixth head coach on Feb. 17, 2011, he has stuck to a process that led to the 2015 Southern Confer-ence Championship.

Chattanooga has appeared in two title matches during Filar’s tenure, claiming spots in the fi-nals in back-to-back years in 2015 and 2016.

UTC racked up the most wins as a program dur-ing that two-year stretch (‘15 and ‘16) in nearly 20 years. The Mocs finished 45-19 over the span and earned wins over Virginia Tech (2015) and Xavier (2016). They would add 13 wins in 2017 to complete a very successful three-year run.

The Mocs finished 2015’s historical run with a 26-6 record, winning its first regular season So-Con trophy since 1998 with a 13-3 league mark. Filar was named the SoCon Coach of the Year, only the second UTC coach to receive this honor.

Chattanooga got off to its best start in school history, racing out to a 15-2 record that includ-ed an 11-match winning streak. Included in that run was a 3-2 win at Virginia Tech on Oct. 2. The five-set victory was UTC’s first against a “Power 5” school since Sept. 18, 2004.

The 2015 senior class was a pivotal group, Fi-lar’s first full recruiting class.

Additionally, Chattanooga’s 2015 signing class was ranked among the top-100 by PrepVolley-ball.com and was one of only 44 programs in the nation to achieve honorable mention by the premier volleyball site. It was the second time in Filar’s UTC career that the Mocs were recog-nized by PrepVolleyball.com. The 2013 signing class was also ranked among the top-100.

During the 2014 season, Filar led the Mocs to 13 wins and an appearance at the Southern Conference Tournament. He also guided Allie Davenport to rank eighth in the nation in ser-vice aces per set (.48), while coaching Chatta-nooga to a 53rd ranking in the NCAA with 168 team service aces.

In 2012, Filar directed the Mocs to their first Southern Conference Tournament appearance in four seasons and posted a fifth-best win improvement among 330 NCAA Division I vol-leyball programs in 2012.

Filar came to Chattanooga after spending four seasons as an assistant coach at North Carolina. There he helped guide the Tar Heels to a 25-10 record in 2010, including a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

As a member of the Tar Heel staff, he primarily worked with the middle blockers, liberos, de-fensive specialists and coordinated the team’s defensive and blocking systems, while coach-ing three players to American Volleyball Coach-es Association (AVCA) All-American honors.

In 2008, he guided a defense that ranked sec-ond in the nation in digs per set. The Tar Heels were also first in the ACC in opponent hitting percentage and second in the league in blocks per set. UNC won the ACC title that season, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Before coming to North Carolina, Filar was on the coaching staff at Memphis beginning in 2005. His responsibilities were with the middle blockers and team defensive systems.

During his two seasons with the Tigers, he coached two AVCA All-Americans, three AVCA All-Midwest Region players and three Confer-ence USA all-league performers. Memphis fin-ished with a 27-8 record in 2006 and was one win from the C-USA title.

Filar worked two seasons as a volunteer as-sistant at Kentucky. While working with the Wildcats, he was involved in the community by coaching the boys & girls basketball teams at Trinity Christian Academy in Lexington, Ky.

Prior to starting his coaching career, Filar played two seasons of men’s club volleyball at Furman. He graduated with a degree in Health and Exercise Science in 2000.

He spent two years at his alma mater as an assistant coach and assistant camp director from 2001-03. Additionally, he has worked as an assistant volleyball clinician at the Fellow-ship of Christian Athletes Girls Sports Camp at Gardner-Webb University. He also served as a court coach at volleyball camps at Charlotte and Davidson.

Filar is married to the former Natalie Muro, a four-year women’s soccer letter winner at Fur-man. The couple resides in Chattanooga with their two daughters, Savanna Grace and Kath-ryn, and son, Luke.
