Ole Miss Rebels Volleyball is led by Joe Getzin, who was named the SEC Volleyball Coach of the Year for 2006. Getzin is the first coach in Ole Miss history to receive the award, which was rightfully earned after leading the Lady Rebels to their first winning season in ten years. Getzin was also able to lead the ladies to their first NCAA Tournament in the school’s history and is slowly putting Ole Miss volleyball on the nation’s list of teams to watch in the future.

The Lady Rebs had a good season last year with a 19-13 record. They finished third in the SEC West and fifth in the SEC overall. The Lady Rebs were able to make it to the NCAA Tournament but found themselves a little out of their element, losing to fifth-seeded Southern California 3-0 in the first round.

After making their first appearance ever in the NCAA tournament, the Lady Rebs are looking to continue their strong momentum in 2007. With eleven players returning to the team, including the powerful trio of Katie Kramer, Lauren Moffett, and Tara Langley, the Lady Rebs are lined up for another stellar season.

Kramer recorded 438 kills last season, the highest on the team, and was named MVP at the Nike/LaQuinta Challenge. Langley, who finished second on the team for digs, will reprise her role as defensive specialist. Langley was also ranked seventh in the SEC for digs and helped earn thirteen digs and a service ace in the NCAA Tournament last year.

Moffett, who led her team in blocks and was ranked eighth in the SEC for service aces last year, is expected to excel at middle blocker in her final season with Ole Miss. Rachel Kiekchaefer, who was recently deemed “quarterback on the floor” by Coach Getzin, has been steadily showing improvement as setter.

The Lady Rebs are also excelling off the court and were awarded the Gameplan/ AVCA Team Academic Award for achieving a 3.30 or higher grade point average. This accomplishment followed the receipt of the Chancellor’s Cup in 2006 for highest GPA of any sports team at Ole Miss.

After appearing in four tournaments and hosting one in the spring, the Rebels worked hard over the summer to remedy their weaknesses and create a stronger team. The ladies spent their off-time focusing on conditioning and are working diligently to prepare for the 2007 season.

We think Ole Miss Rebels Volleyball looks strong for the upcoming season. They have solid talent and will benefit from their experience in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament last season. Old Miss should place in the top three in the SEC West in 2007 and make it to the NCAA Tournament again.
