Mississippi State Bulldogs Volleyball has had relatively little impact in college volleyball since the program started in 1975. They have no SEC Volleyball championships or significant NCAA tournament accomplishments. Head coach Tina Seals, who is starting her fourth season with the Dogs, was able to tie former coach Samye Johnson for the third most wins in MSU volleyball history and is hoping to finally lead the team to a truly successful season in 2007.

The Lady Bulldogs are actually coming off one of their best years ever. MSU had a 17-13 record in 2006, recording their highest number of wins in ten years. They ranked fifth in the SEC West with an 8-12 conference record.


The team benefited from great plays from Martina Gregusova, who earned SEC Freshman of the Week three times and was named to the SEC Volleyball All-Freshman Team (the first MSU player to ever receive that honor).

Rising junior Eva Kriegel had fifty-seven aces and over 1,100 assists as starting setter. Kriegel is expected to switch off with fellow setter Andrea Mead this year. Junior Megan Lukasek will be back on defense this year after battling a back injury for much of the 2006 season. Another key player on defense is Erin Seago, who led MSU with solo blocks and assisted blocks last year.

MSU has been making noise off the court this year with five team members being named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, including rising sophomores Ioana Demian, Dorey Gray, and Jennifer Hauskey.
Coach Seals recently requested the hiring of Don Perkins for the assistant coach position, to replace Jozsef Forman who left in June for a head coaching position at the University of New Orleans. Perkins, who spent three years as head coach for the North Country Albany Junior Volleyball Club, will begin coaching in the 2007 season after the University’s Board of Trustees accepts him.

Despite this solid talent, the Lady Dogs have some tough competition in the SEC this year. We think Mississippi State Bulldogs Volleyball will battle with Auburn for last place in the SEC West.
