HEAD COACH SHARON CLARK Sharon Clark is entering her 17th season as the head coach of the Butler women’s volleyball program. Clark reached her highest win total with the program in 2013 when she guided the team to a 24-8 overall record. During her coaching tenure, Clark has delivered ten winning seasons, reaching the 20-win plateau five times.
LOGAN REMAINS DOMINANT AGAINST WESTERN ILLINOIS Anna Logan’s great start to the 2016 season continued last weekend vs. Western Illinois when the sophomore posted a season-high attack percentage in the 3-0 sweep over the Leathernecks. Logan connected on 21 of her 31 attempts to post a team-high .613 attack percentage. Her 4.73 kills per set average is on pace to break the school record (4.57 - Kali Carter, 2004).
TAKEDA WITH THE ACE The Bulldogs limited their service errors during the final two matches of the Hawkeye Classic to pick up a pair of 3-0 victories against Iowa and WIU. Service aces would tell the story in BU’s last game as Butler posted a season-high 11 service aces in the 3-0 sweep at Ball State. Taylor Takeda finished the match with seven aces, just two shy of tying the school record. The last Bulldog to post seven service aces in a single-match was Lynn Hardin vs. Baylor in a five-set match back during the 1993 season. The school record of nine belongs to Laura Baire who played at Butler from 1992-1995. Baire dominated the match against Wright State during the 1995 campaign to collect her nine aces in a three-set win.

BUTLER WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL 2016 Game Notes
Butler Classic I Indianapolis, Indiana I Hinkle Fieldhouse I September 9-10
BUTLER OFFENSE GAINING MOMENTUM The Bulldogs have posted three-straight 3-0 victories after sweeping Ball State on Wednesday night. The offense hit their groove in Iowa City last weekend to post a .331 team attack percentage in the victory against the Hawkeyes. They followed that effort by posting a season-high .354 attack percentage against the Leathernecks. BU recorded 45 kills on 96 swings and only committed 11 errors.
FERGUSON MAKING AN IMPACT IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES Makayla Ferguson is a talented setter that is able to impact the team in various ways. Ferguson is averaging 9.58 assists per set, but also has recorded at least two kills in each game this year. Defensively she ranks third on the team in digs (66) and six on the team in blocks (10). The junior has two double-doubles on the young season and is also a threat to score points with her serve. She came up with a season-high six service aces vs. Oakland pushing her season total to 11.
OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE The tournament schedule for this weekend’s Butler Classic is unique with only two games scheduled for Saturday (9/10). Tennessee State and Murray State are both active members of the Ohio Valley Conference therefore the two programs will not square off inside Hinkle Fieldhouse this weekend.
ROLLERCOASTER SEASONS The tournament field for the 2016 Butler Classic have already hit some highs and lows this season in the win-loss column. Tennessee State won four-straight at the start of the season, but have lost three-straight heading into their match with Butler. Murray State also started off strong by winning their first three matches of the year, but after a loss on Tuesday, the Racers have now dropped four-straight. Wright State however heads into the weekend having won two-straight matches after dropping their first five contests of the 2016 season.
LOGAN LANDS ON BIG EAST WEEKLY HONOR ROLL In a 2-2 week for Butler, Logan boasted two double-doubles and two 20+ kill matches. She was second in the league in points per set (5.12), while adding 4.56 kills/set, 2.69 digs/set and a .291 attack percentage. Among BIG EAST players this week, she posted a match highs of 21 kills in three sets (Sept. 3 vs. Western Ill.), 22.0 points in three sets (Sept. 3 vs. Western Ill.) and 28.0 points in five sets (Aug. 30 vs. Eastern Ill.).
UP NEXT The Bulldogs will host Indiana State next Tuesday (9/13) at 6 PM. The contest will feature free admission to all fans courtesy of PPG Paints. The Butler Invitational will follow that weekend (Sept. 16-17). Butler will host Northern Kentucky, Loyola and Arizona in the two-day tournament. The Bulldogs will play at 11 AM and 6 PM on Friday against Northern Kentucky and Loyola. The round robin tournament will come to a close on Saturday with BU hosting Arizona at 6 PM.

BUTLER WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL 2016 Game Notes
Butler Classic I Indianapolis, Indiana I Hinkle Fieldhouse I September 9-10
BUTLER OFFENSE GAINING MOMENTUM The Bulldogs have posted three-straight 3-0 victories after sweeping Ball State on Wednesday night. The offense hit their groove in Iowa City last weekend to post a .331 team attack percentage in the victory against the Hawkeyes. They followed that effort by posting a season-high .354 attack percentage against the Leathernecks. BU recorded 45 kills on 96 swings and only committed 11 errors.
FERGUSON MAKING AN IMPACT IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES Makayla Ferguson is a talented setter that is able to impact the team in various ways. Ferguson is averaging 9.58 assists per set, but also has recorded at least two kills in each game this year. Defensively she ranks third on the team in digs (66) and six on the team in blocks (10). The junior has two double-doubles on the young season and is also a threat to score points with her serve. She came up with a season-high six service aces vs. Oakland pushing her season total to 11.
OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE The tournament schedule for this weekend’s Butler Classic is unique with only two games scheduled for Saturday (9/10). Tennessee State and Murray State are both active members of the Ohio Valley Conference therefore the two programs will not square off inside Hinkle Fieldhouse this weekend.
ROLLERCOASTER SEASONS The tournament field for the 2016 Butler Classic have already hit some highs and lows this season in the win-loss column. Tennessee State won four-straight at the start of the season, but have lost three-straight heading into their match with Butler. Murray State also started off strong by winning their first three matches of the year, but after a loss on Tuesday, the Racers have now dropped four-straight. Wright State however heads into the weekend having won two-straight matches after dropping their first five contests of the 2016 season.
LOGAN LANDS ON BIG EAST WEEKLY HONOR ROLL In a 2-2 week for Butler, Logan boasted two double-doubles and two 20+ kill matches. She was second in the league in points per set (5.12), while adding 4.56 kills/set, 2.69 digs/set and a .291 attack percentage. Among BIG EAST players this week, she posted a match highs of 21 kills in three sets (Sept. 3 vs. Western Ill.), 22.0 points in three sets (Sept. 3 vs. Western Ill.) and 28.0 points in five sets (Aug. 30 vs. Eastern Ill.).
UP NEXT The Bulldogs will host Indiana State next Tuesday (9/13) at 6 PM. The contest will feature free admission to all fans courtesy of PPG Paints. The Butler Invitational will follow that weekend (Sept. 16-17). Butler will host Northern Kentucky, Loyola and Arizona in the two-day tournament. The Bulldogs will play at 11 AM and 6 PM on Friday against Northern Kentucky and Loyola. The round robin tournament will come to a close on Saturday with BU hosting Arizona at 6 PM.
