Fielder hit.412 against Texas Southern and.364 against MVSU. Junior Libero Erin Neeley (Jonesboro, Ark.) was named as the tournament s outstanding defensive specialist after recording 56 digs in three matches. We are awfully proud of Konae, Cayla and Erin for being recognized all-tournament for the efforts they Erin Neeley put forth during the Texas Southern Tournament representing the Red Wolves, said ASU Head Coach Craig Cummings. I think you could also throw in Christin Baker who had a phenomenally steady tournament. Heather Bowman was solid for us as well, passing and playing defense. Laurel England had a great match against The Citadel. Laura Bennett ran our offense for the most part and Brittany Crislip did a nice job as well when she had the opportunity. It was a full team effort, added Cummings. Any success is a team effort, and my hat is off to these young ladies for getting us off to a great start. MORE HONORS: Freshman Cayla Fielder was named to the All-Tournament team following the Sept. 5-6 Kangaroo Klassic at UMKC. Fielder recorded 25 kills with a hitting percentage of.500 in ASU s three matches at the tournament.

Purcell added 34 Cayla Fielder Konae Purcell digs, two blocks and a service ace on the weekend. RULE CHANGES FOR 2008: Volleyball games have a new name. The term game has now been changed to set. The number of points required to win a set has been changed as well. The number of points required to win sets one through four is now 25, with the fifth set still being played to 15 points. The maximum number of substitutions for each team is now 12 per set. NEW ERA AT ASU: The 2008 season is the first season in which Arkansas State University will compete as the Red Wolves. After 77 years of competition as the Indians, the Red Wolves mascot was adopted in January 2008 after many hours of work by the University s Mascot Selection Steering Committee. The job of the committee was to make a new mascot recommendation to Chancellor Dr. Robert L. Potts and the University administration. The committee recommended Wolves at a Jan. 31 meeting, and the Red Wolves mascot evolved from that point. HEAD COACH CRAIG CUMMINGS: Craig Cummings is entering his 13th season as head coach of the Red Wolves volleyball program, making him the longest tenured coach in ASU volleyball history. During his 12 seasons at Arkansas State, Cummings has compiled an impressive 224-161 record, picking up three Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year honors along the way. During the 2006 campaign, he became just the third coach in ASU volleyball history to eclipse 200 victories, and last year moved into second place on the ASU all-time wins list. Cummings reached another milestone in 2007 as well when he topped the 300 career victories mark and he now stands at 305-271 through 18 seasons as a head coach. Hampered by injuries throughout the season, Arkansas State finished 12-19 a year ago, including an 8-10 mark in the Sun Belt Conference. Although ASU finished the year below.500, the season did produce several memorable Craig Cummings moments. Arkansas State finished the regular season on a high note, winning three straight matches on the road in Louisiana. ASU began the late season surge with a 3-0 win at Louisiana-Monroe, followed by a 3-1 victory at Louisiana-Lafayette. Arkansas State completed the sweep through Louisiana when they defeated New Orleans 3-0 to close out the regular season, earning a berth in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in the process. The 2007 season also was highlighted by senior middle blocker Robin Aaron being named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team for the third consecutive year, and senior Katie Peil s ascent to the top of the career assists chart. Peil finished her career with 5,048 assists, becoming the only player in ASU history to top the 5,000- assist mark. During his tenure at Arkansas State, Cummings has guided the Red Wolves program to four Sun Belt Conference regular season championships, and one appearance in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament. His most recent championship came in 2004 when ASU took home the SBC East Division title, posting an 11-3 mark in Sun Belt play, and a 25-8 overall record on the season. In 2004, the then-lady Indians closed out the regular season by picking up victories in 13 of their last 14 matches on their way to the title. The Tribe also posted an undefeated record at home with a 14-0 mark at the Convocation Center. Also under Cummings' tutelage, outside hitter Giedre Tarnauskaite was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and setter Katie Peil picked up SBC Freshman of the Year accolades. Cummings' crowning achievement so far was a three-game victory over Arkansas- Little Rock in Little Rock, Ark., on Nov. 21, 1999, that gave him his first SBC Tournament championship and ASU's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1995. In 1999, Cummings guided the Lady Indians to a 21-11 record on the season. The 21 wins were the most for ASU since the 1999 campaign and returned ASU to the upper echelon in the Sun Belt Conference. ASU won another Sun Belt Conference title in 1999 when the Lady Indians finished with a 28-7 record, including a stellar 14-2 mark in conference action. The Lady Indians finished atop the league standings and went on to win the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and gain the NCAA Tournament appearance.

1993 season in which ASU picked up 32 victories. Eight of Cummings' teams have won 20- or-more games-after a 24-win campaign in Cummings' first season in 1996, ASU had a 21-12 record in 1997, a 23-11 record in 1998, a 28-7 mark in 1999, a 20-11 record in 2000, a 21-11 mark in 2003, 2005's 25-8 record and last season s 21-14 mark. Cummings was named the head volleyball coach at Arkansas State in May of 1996. He is the fifth coach in the program's 29-year history. He had spent the previous six seasons as head coach at his alma mater, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, in San Luis Obispo, Calif. As a player, Cummings played three seasons for the Cal Poly men's program from 1978-80. A member of the Western Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, the Cal Poly men played against some of the top collegiate men's teams ever to step foot on a floor. Cummings began his coaching career in 1981 as the head coach of the Cal Poly-SLO men's program, posting a record of 23-10. Cal Poly discontinued its men program the following year and Cummings went to work as an assistant coach of the women's team and remained there until 1989. During his term as an assistant coach, Cal Poly participated in eight straight NCAA Tournaments from 1982-89, a run that included three Elite Eight appearances (1982, 1983, 1985). The Cal Poly coaching staff was named Coaching Staff of the Year in the Big West Conference in 1985 and 1989. In 1990, Cummings began his career as a head coach by taking over the Mustang program. In 1992, his Mustangs posted a 22-11 record and were ranked fourth in the Northwest Region. That same year he was named Northwest Region Coach of the Year by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. During his time at Cal Poly-SLO, Cummings coached 19 All-Americans. In recognition of his coaching excellence at Cal Poly, Cummings was named to the coaching staffs at three straight U.S. Olympic Festivals (1993-95). As an assistant for the South squad in 1993, Cummings earned a gold medal for his efforts. In 1994 and 1995, Cummings served as head coach of the West squads, finishing second and fourth. He has been a member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association since 1983 and a member of USA Volleyball since 1980. In addition to his work with the U.S. Olympic Festivals, he has served on the Board of Directors and Selection Committee of the National Invitational Volleyball Championships. He has been a member of the NCAA Division I Northwest Region Advisory Committee and the AVCA Northwest Region Division I All-American Committee. Cummings has been a clinic speaker for West Coast Clinics in Palo Alto, Calif., and at the 1990 and 1996 National (Junior )Volleyball Festival. Cummings was also instrumental in the development of the San Luis Obispo Juniors Volleyball Club, serving on its Board of Directors. Cummings was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, on March 28, 1957. He and his wife Carol have two children, Drew (18) and Alex (16). Cummings, a 1982 graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo with a degree in Physical Education, earned a master's degree in Physical Education in 1987 from Cal Poly- SLO. ASSISTANT COACH JULIE ALLEN: Julie Allen joined the Arkansas State volleyball staff as an assistant coach on April 1, 2008, after two seasons at Georgetown. Allen joined the Georgetown program in August 2006 after spending nearly two years at California State University at Chico as the assistant women s volleyball coach and head men s club coach. I am truly excited that Julie agreed to come to Arkansas State and our volleyball program, ASU Head Coach Craig Cummings said. She brings with her a wealth of experience from the Big East Conference, training the setters and coordinating the offense at Georgetown University Asst. Coach Julie Allen during the last couple of seasons. With some very talented candidates in the pool, Julie stood out as the best, allowing our program to take advantage of her experience and expertise and help us climb back to the top of the Sun Belt Conference. After graduating from the University of Portland in 2002, Allen was the head volleyball coach at Tualatin High School in Tualatin, Ore. until 2003. She was a lead coach for the Empire Volleyball Club in Santa 2008 Sun Belt Standings West Division Conf. Overall W-L Pct. W-L Pct.

Julie is a bright young lady with a lot of energy and has an outside-the-box mentality towards developing new ways to train the team, Cummings said.
