28. don’t know if you could say she ‘led’ them to the title, although Shoji will tell you that she was his first big-time recruit. Waynette Mitchell, Terry Malterre and Angie Andrade named to the all-tournament team, as was Sebastian. The list I have doesn’t have an MVP.

28. it’s not just money or scholarships. there are also gender equity numbers to be considered. simply put … athletic opportunities.

Sebastian is here. I’ll ask her but I don’t think she did.
Corlett an amazing athlete at UCLA. played 4 sports plus was the U.S. junior national badminton champ.

I’ll try this again…the abbreviated version.

I did not know about being “nixed by the AD” over at BYUH. &Yes I’m certain it’s all about money, but Div.III teams/universities don’t have to pay for schollies which are good portion of costs. They’d have to pay for coach’s salaries and travel costs, but the local boys would be thrilled to have the opportunity to mere play/travel sans school tuition. I’d say that some to-the-point would take out their own private loans in meeting obligations.

I did know about Cal Baptist, Grand Canyon, the PacWest, etc. yet
Div.I and II get lumped together and Div.III is their own separate entity, okay, but

The NCAA with its divisions does have variances within (i.e. university-xyz with its FB team playing Div.I and the rest of its athletics playing Div.II, theoretically)

And to the point.. 😉

Denise Corlett–1978
I still say Sebastian–1979 (she led them to their title, SO Elaina Oden won it in 1986)
Linda Robertson–1980 (I remember her during the blossoming/plunge of the WPVA..the girl could HIT&DIG) 🙂

25. the lists I’ve seen haven’t shown a POY for the AIAW. Doubt that Sebastian would have been it in 1979. she was a sophomore and UH would have listed it in their archives.
As for UHH MVB, there has been major discussion but they don’t have the money.
UHH and BYUH would go DII, not DIII. BYUH nearly revived MVB a while back but it was nixed by the AD.
There was also discussion by the PacWest about MVB. IF Grand Canyon had stayed in the league, I think it would have gained some momentum. IF the PacWest sponsors sand VB, I think that the gender equity numbers then allow for the addition of men’s volleyball.
I know that if Rockne Freitas has his way and gets the money, UH-WO will have MVB, and they’d be in the PacWest as a DII program.
There are only two NCAA divisions for MVB, it’s a combined Di-II and DIII.

My thought is that UHH and BYUH should propose Div.III *RATHER THAN* Div.II.

& What’s up with Coach Kabalis and the Silverswords?? ..Beach ball?

It’s been eight hours now, I forgot already. 😉

UCLA had those POY’s from 1974-1978.
LBSU early 70s.
(Sharon Peterson was a multi-AA there, Olympian/National Team member, 2x AIAW COY?)

Do you know what’s going on in the legislature regarding UHH MVB??

It has to be personality driven in order to move the ratings. 😉
