The Final Countdown The Middle Tennessee volleyball team (17-10, 8-4 C-USA) closes out the 2013 regular season on the road with matches at Marshall and Tulane. The Blue Raiders enter the weekend still in contention for a top-four seed and firstround bye for the Conference USA Volleyball Championship. MT can finish as high as third and as low as eighth entering the weekend. Scouting the Marshall Thundering Herd Marshall dropped two matches over the weekend at Southern Miss and Tulsa, leaving itself in a precarious position in trying to grab a top-four seed and first-round bye for the Conference USA Volleyball Championship. The Herd dropped both road matches in four sets, now needing a win over MT and a pair of losses from both the Blue Raiders and North Texas. Scouting the Tulane Green Wave Tulane enters the weekend still in contention for the No. 1 seed, and in the driver’s seat for a first-round bye. The Green Wave finishes first with a pair of wins and a Tulsa victory over UTSA on Sunday, with Tulane holding the headto-head tiebreaker over the Golden Hurricane courtesy of a three-set victory at Tulsa on Nov. 8. Tulane will finish in the top four unless the Green Wave are swept this weekend, and MT and North Texas both win out. In that scenario, the Mean Green would get the No. 3 seed by virtue of a 2-0 record vs. Tulane and MT, the Blue Raiders would have the No. 4 seed with a 1-1, and the Green Wave would fall to No. 5 with an 0-2 record between the teams. Bye, Bye, Bye Middle Tennessee enters the weekend still playing for a top-four seed and first-round bye in the Conference USA Volleyball Championship next weekend at Alumni Memorial Gym. The Blue Raiders capture the No. 4 seed with two wins and a North Texas loss at FIU or Florida Atlantic, or with a split of the weekend and two Mean Green losses. Middle Tennessee finishes third with a sweep of the weekend, a Tulane loss to Louisiana Tech, and a North Texas loss.

MATT PECK
Peck also helped Izabela Kozon, who is regarded as one of the best players in school history, take home a Sun Belt record-tying five SBC Player of the Week awards on the way to winning Sun Belt Player of the Year and Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She also garnered AVCA All-American Honorable Mention, marking the fifth consecutive season a Blue Raider has been so honored.
MT earned the outright Sun Belt regular season championship, also a first for the school, and took home the tournament title to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Louisville subregional. After knocking off host Louisville in five sets in the opener, the Blue Raiders earned a trip to the Sweet 16 with a 3-1 decision over ninth-ranked Hawaii to punch their ticket to the Penn State Regional in State College, Pa., where they ultimately fell to BYU.
Entering his 10th season at the helm of the Middle Tennessee volleyball program, Matt Peck has garnered a reputation as one of the best coaches in the region and has built the Blue Raiders into a perennial contender.
In fact, Middle Tennessee had two players earn All-American Honorable Mention as Second Team All-Sun Belt member Oyinlola Oladinni earned the recognition for the second consecutive season.
Joining Middle Tennessee after nine seasons of building North Alabama into a Division II powerhouse, Peck has experienced enormous success in Murfreesboro, leading Middle Tennessee to their most successful run in school history. The Blue Raiders have gone to six consecutive NCAA Tournaments and have won four Sun Belt Tournament Championships and two Sun Belt regular season titles.
Maria Szivos and Ashley N. Adams rounded out the individual accolades for the Blue Raiders in 2010, each earning a place on the All-Sun Belt First Team, giving Middle Tennessee four All-SBC performers for just the second time in school history.
Peck coached Ashley E. Adams to one of the best individual seasons in MT history, earning the program’s first ever Sun Belt Player of the Year honor to go along with her second consecutive SBC Tournament Most Outstanding Player award. The junior also grabbed her second straight All-American Honorable Mention accolade.
Head Coach
Peck’s mark on the program can be seen throughout the record books. The winningest coach in school history, Peck holds an overall 174-88 mark at Middle Tennessee. Since taking over in 2004, Peck has coached each of MT’s individual statistical leaders in kills (KeKe Deckard), assists (Leslie Clark) and digs (Alicia Lemau’u). Under Peck’s tutelage, a Blue Raider has been named to either the All-Sun Belt First or Second Team a remarkable 25 times, with nine going on to take home All-America Honorable Mention accolades from the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Peck has also coached four Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Players, two Sun Belt Players of the Year and one Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year. Buoyed by the combination of the winningest senior class in school history and a number of impressive young players, Peck and the Blue Raiders turned in one of the most successful seasons in school history in 2010. Middle Tennessee posted a 15-1 conference mark en route to running up a 29-6 record and ending the season with an outright Sun Belt regular season championship and becoming the first conference team to win the tournament title on their home floor since 1999. Following the season, Peck earned his second Sun Belt Coach of the Year Award.
Peck guided the Blue Raiders to a conference tournament title in 2009. Led by the outstanding play of Sun Belt First Teamers Kozon and Clark and Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player Ashley Mead, Middle Tennessee ran up a 25-10 record and knocked off SBC regular season champion FIU in four sets in the title match, the only loss FIU suffered to a conference opponent all season. In addition to Kozon and Clark, Mead and Oladinni picked up Second Team honors, the latter of which was awarded All-American Honorable Mention by the AVCA. Janay Yancey and Clark were also named to the AllTournament squad. In 2008, Peck directed the Middle Tennessee volleyball squad to a new plateau, earning the school’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. After opening the season with nine consecutive victories, the Blue Raiders finished with a remarkable 27-8 record, winning a five-set thriller over Miami (Ohio) in the NCAAs before falling to host Purdue in similar fashion. Clark and Ashley Asberry keyed the Blue Raiders individually, earning both First Team All-Sun Belt First Team and AVCA All-American Honorable Mention honors. Kozon was named to the All-SBC Second Team. The 2007 season marked one of the best seasons by any Sun Belt team in any sport as the Blue Raiders posted a school record 35-3 record and made it to the Penn State Regional in the NCAA Tournament. Middle Tennessee opened up with a ten-match winning streak, and posted three double-digit win streaks over the course of the season, including setting a school record with 14 straight.
Aside from Adams, Asberry also took home All-American Honorable Mention and First Team All-Sun Belt honors. Clark rounded out the honors with placement on the First Team as well. Peck led the Blue Raiders to their first NCAA Tournament since 1995, taking home a share of the Sun Belt’s regular season title and winning the conference tournament. The Blue Raiders posted a 27-8 record and knocked off host Louisville in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to 18thranked Ohio State. Adams was recognized as an All-America Honorable Mention and became the first-ever Blue Raider to win the Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player award. She joined teammates Asberry and Quanshell Scott on the All-SBC First Team, marking the first time that three MT players had earned the honors in a single season. Scott and Jessica Robinson were named to the All-Tournament squad. Peck guided Middle Tennessee to the second most wins in program history in 2005, going 28-4 and making it to the Sun Belt title match for the first time in history. Under Peck’s direction, Lemau’u was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team and became the first Blue Raider to take home SBC Defensive Player of the Year honors. In just his first year at the helm of the MT volleyball program, Peck led Middle Tennessee to a 17-14 record and a 9-5 mark in Sun Belt play, marking the first time that the Blue Raiders posted a winning conference record since 1995. Under Peck’s guidance, Deckard and Dara McLean became the first All-Sun Belt First Team performers since the 2000 season.
Peck was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year, a first for the Middle Tennessee program.

The Final Countdown The Middle Tennessee volleyball team (17-10, 8-4 C-USA) closes out the 2013 regular season on the road with matches at Marshall and Tulane. The Blue Raiders enter the weekend still in contention for a top-four seed and firstround bye for the Conference USA Volleyball Championship. MT can finish as high as third and as low as eighth entering the weekend. Scouting the Marshall Thundering Herd Marshall dropped two matches over the weekend at Southern Miss and Tulsa, leaving itself in a precarious position in trying to grab a top-four seed and first-round bye for the Conference USA Volleyball Championship. The Herd dropped both road matches in four sets, now needing a win over MT and a pair of losses from both the Blue Raiders and North Texas. Scouting the Tulane Green Wave Tulane enters the weekend still in contention for the No. 1 seed, and in the driver’s seat for a first-round bye. The Green Wave finishes first with a pair of wins and a Tulsa victory over UTSA on Sunday, with Tulane holding the headto-head tiebreaker over the Golden Hurricane courtesy of a three-set victory at Tulsa on Nov. 8. Tulane will finish in the top four unless the Green Wave are swept this weekend, and MT and North Texas both win out. In that scenario, the Mean Green would get the No. 3 seed by virtue of a 2-0 record vs. Tulane and MT, the Blue Raiders would have the No. 4 seed with a 1-1, and the Green Wave would fall to No. 5 with an 0-2 record between the teams.

MATT PECK
Peck also helped Izabela Kozon, who is regarded as one of the best players in school history, take home a Sun Belt record-tying five SBC Player of the Week awards on the way to winning Sun Belt Player of the Year and Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She also garnered AVCA All-American Honorable Mention, marking the fifth consecutive season a Blue Raider has been so honored.
MT earned the outright Sun Belt regular season championship, also a first for the school, and took home the tournament title to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Louisville subregional. After knocking off host Louisville in five sets in the opener, the Blue Raiders earned a trip to the Sweet 16 with a 3-1 decision over ninth-ranked Hawaii to punch their ticket to the Penn State Regional in State College, Pa., where they ultimately fell to BYU.
Entering his 10th season at the helm of the Middle Tennessee volleyball program, Matt Peck has garnered a reputation as one of the best coaches in the region and has built the Blue Raiders into a perennial contender.
In fact, Middle Tennessee had two players earn All-American Honorable Mention as Second Team All-Sun Belt member Oyinlola Oladinni earned the recognition for the second consecutive season.
Joining Middle Tennessee after nine seasons of building North Alabama into a Division II powerhouse, Peck has experienced enormous success in Murfreesboro, leading Middle Tennessee to their most successful run in school history. The Blue Raiders have gone to six consecutive NCAA Tournaments and have won four Sun Belt Tournament Championships and two Sun Belt regular season titles.
Maria Szivos and Ashley N. Adams rounded out the individual accolades for the Blue Raiders in 2010, each earning a place on the All-Sun Belt First Team, giving Middle Tennessee four All-SBC performers for just the second time in school history.
Peck coached Ashley E. Adams to one of the best individual seasons in MT history, earning the program’s first ever Sun Belt Player of the Year honor to go along with her second consecutive SBC Tournament Most Outstanding Player award. The junior also grabbed her second straight All-American Honorable Mention accolade.
Head Coach
Peck’s mark on the program can be seen throughout the record books. The winningest coach in school history, Peck holds an overall 174-88 mark at Middle Tennessee. Since taking over in 2004, Peck has coached each of MT’s individual statistical leaders in kills (KeKe Deckard), assists (Leslie Clark) and digs (Alicia Lemau’u). Under Peck’s tutelage, a Blue Raider has been named to either the All-Sun Belt First or Second Team a remarkable 25 times, with nine going on to take home All-America Honorable Mention accolades from the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Peck has also coached four Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Players, two Sun Belt Players of the Year and one Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year. Buoyed by the combination of the winningest senior class in school history and a number of impressive young players, Peck and the Blue Raiders turned in one of the most successful seasons in school history in 2010. Middle Tennessee posted a 15-1 conference mark en route to running up a 29-6 record and ending the season with an outright Sun Belt regular season championship and becoming the first conference team to win the tournament title on their home floor since 1999. Following the season, Peck earned his second Sun Belt Coach of the Year Award.
Peck guided the Blue Raiders to a conference tournament title in 2009. Led by the outstanding play of Sun Belt First Teamers Kozon and Clark and Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player Ashley Mead, Middle Tennessee ran up a 25-10 record and knocked off SBC regular season champion FIU in four sets in the title match, the only loss FIU suffered to a conference opponent all season. In addition to Kozon and Clark, Mead and Oladinni picked up Second Team honors, the latter of which was awarded All-American Honorable Mention by the AVCA. Janay Yancey and Clark were also named to the AllTournament squad. In 2008, Peck directed the Middle Tennessee volleyball squad to a new plateau, earning the school’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. After opening the season with nine consecutive victories, the Blue Raiders finished with a remarkable 27-8 record, winning a five-set thriller over Miami (Ohio) in the NCAAs before falling to host Purdue in similar fashion. Clark and Ashley Asberry keyed the Blue Raiders individually, earning both First Team All-Sun Belt First Team and AVCA All-American Honorable Mention honors. Kozon was named to the All-SBC Second Team. The 2007 season marked one of the best seasons by any Sun Belt team in any sport as the Blue Raiders posted a school record 35-3 record and made it to the Penn State Regional in the NCAA Tournament. Middle Tennessee opened up with a ten-match winning streak, and posted three double-digit win streaks over the course of the season, including setting a school record with 14 straight.
Aside from Adams, Asberry also took home All-American Honorable Mention and First Team All-Sun Belt honors. Clark rounded out the honors with placement on the First Team as well. Peck led the Blue Raiders to their first NCAA Tournament since 1995, taking home a share of the Sun Belt’s regular season title and winning the conference tournament. The Blue Raiders posted a 27-8 record and knocked off host Louisville in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to 18thranked Ohio State. Adams was recognized as an All-America Honorable Mention and became the first-ever Blue Raider to win the Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player award. She joined teammates Asberry and Quanshell Scott on the All-SBC First Team, marking the first time that three MT players had earned the honors in a single season. Scott and Jessica Robinson were named to the All-Tournament squad. Peck guided Middle Tennessee to the second most wins in program history in 2005, going 28-4 and making it to the Sun Belt title match for the first time in history. Under Peck’s direction, Lemau’u was named to the All-Sun Belt First Team and became the first Blue Raider to take home SBC Defensive Player of the Year honors. In just his first year at the helm of the MT volleyball program, Peck led Middle Tennessee to a 17-14 record and a 9-5 mark in Sun Belt play, marking the first time that the Blue Raiders posted a winning conference record since 1995. Under Peck’s guidance, Deckard and Dara McLean became the first All-Sun Belt First Team performers since the 2000 season.
Peck was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year, a first for the Middle Tennessee program.
