The Northwest Missouri State University volleyball has risen to the upper echelon of the MIAA and the program took another step toward elite status with the release of the league’s 2018 all-conference squads.

Senior Maddy Bruder was named the MIAA Player of the Year and head coach Amy Woerth was tabbed the league’s Coach of the Year. It marks the first time since 1984 that the Bearcats captured both the player and coach of the year awards when Mary Beth Bishop was the MIAA MVP and Susie Homan was the MIAA’s best coach.

Bruder becomes the third Bearcat volleyball player to be named the MIAA’s Player of the Year. Mary Beth Bishop (1984) and Jill Quast (2000) are the only other previous Bearcats to be honored as the league’s top player.

Woerth guided the Bearcats to a program best 14 MIAA wins in 2018. The previous record of 11 MIAA wins was set in 2017. The Bearcats tied for third in the final MIAA standings and hosted a first-round match in the league tournament. Woerth saw the Bearcats reach 22 wins – the second 20-win season since 1999 – and 15th overall 20-win season in program history. Northwest registered eight road victories, which ranks as the third-best total in the school’s record book. Overall, Northwest went 22-8 on the season.

Not only did Northwest land two of the specialty awards, the Bearcats had three players on the MIAA’s First Team and two more players honored on the MIAA’s Second Team. Bruder (Firth, Nebraska) was joined on the first team by senior middle hitter Sofia Schleppenbach (Dallas, Texas) and sophomore setter Maddy Ahrens (Appleton, Wisconsin). Senior libero Olivia Nowakowski (Kansas City, Missouri) and sophomore outside hitter Hallie Sidney (Chesterfield, Missouri) secured second-team all-MIAA honors.

Bruder becomes the first Northwest player to be a four-time first-team all-MIAA performer. Jill Quast (1998-2000) and Kelly Greenlee (1983-1985) had been the only other previous three-time first-team all-MIAA honorees before Bruder bested them with her fourth straight first-team tag in 2018.

Bruder led the MIAA in kills (4.26 per set) and ranked No. 17 in the nation in that category. Bruder blew away the competition in MIAA matches by averaging 4.30 kills per set with 275 kills in 64 sets. Bruder notched a team-best 17 double-doubles, including 12 in MIAA play.

Schleppenbach was Northwest’s leader in service aces (35), solo blocks (8), block assists (80), total blocks (80) and hitting percentage (.343). Her .342 hitting percentage in league matches ranked second in the MIAA. Schleppenbach has 12 double-figure kill matches, including a season-high 16 kills at Central Missouri (10/20). Schleppenbach earned honorable mention all-MIAA honors in 2017.

Ahrens led the MIAA in assists (11.48 overall; 12.20 MIAA only). Ahrens’s MIAA total of 12.20 assists per set is nearly a full point higher than second place Ally Offerdahl (Central Missouri), who posted 11.22 assists per set in MIAA matches. Ahrens set a pair of career highs with 67 assists and 20 digs in a five-set match at No. 3-Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 3. Ahrens ranks second on the team in service aces (33) and double-doubles (15). Ahrens is the fifth sophomore in school history to post 1,000 or more assists in a season with 1,171 this year.

Nowakowski earned second team all-MIAA after previously being named to honorable mention status in 2016 and 2017. Nowakowski led the Bearcats in digs (503 – 4.75 digs/set). She posted seven matches of 20 or more digs and four matches of 30 or more digs in 2018. Nowakowski notched a season-high 40 digs at No. 3 Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 3. She ranked third on the team with 29 service aces. Nowakowski finished her career ranked No. 3 on Northwest’s all-time digs list with 1,763.

Sidney ranked second in the MIAA in kills per set in conference matches only (3.53 kills/set). Sidney had seven double-doubles this season, including a 19-kill, 17-dig performance at No. 3-Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 3. Sidney registered a season-high 27 kills against Nebraska-Kearney in Bearcat Arena on Sept. 29. She also posted 24 kills and 18 digs in a five-set match vs. Central Oklahoma on Oct. 5. Sidney has produced 16 double-figure kill matches in 2018. She ranked second on the team in kills (335 – 3.16 kills/set).

NOTES: The five players named to the first and second teams represents the most Northwest players named to the all-MIAA volleyball teams in the history of Bearcat volleyball … the previous best of four was set in 1984, 1985 and 2015 … it’s the first time since 1984 that Northwest has had three players named to the MIAA’s First Team.

When the final results were tallied, the Jennies posted their second win over the Bearcats this season.

UCM quieted a raucous white-out crowd in Bearcat Arena by taking a two-set lead over the home squad. Northwest refused to give in and took an 18-12 lead in the third set. However, UCM battled back to knot the set at 18-18. The Jennies scored a miraculous kick-save for a kill to even the set at 21-21. UCM would take a 24-22 lead and have two match points only to see the Bearcats even it up at 24-24 on a kill by Hallie Sidney and an attack error by UCM’s Aubree Bell. The Bearcats siezed the opportunity and Sidney put down another ball for a kill to give Northwest a set point. The Bearcats closed out the third set when Bell’s attack went awry, 26-24.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State men’s basketball is ranked No. 5 in the NABC/Division II preseason coaches top 25 poll.

The Bearcats picked up a first-place vote and will open the 2018-19 season this Saturday and Sunday in St. Joseph, Missouri, at the Small College Basketball Hall of Fame Classic. Northwest will match up against Northern State on Saturday at 7:45 p.m., followed by a Sunday tilt against No. 13 Ferris State on Sunday at 5:45 p.m. Both games will played at the Civic Arena.

Bellarmine, who has made three Elite Eight appearances since winning the NCAA Division II title in 2011, picked up the bulk of the first place votes and heads the pre-season rankings. The Knights are followed by West Liberty, who reached five Elite Eights in a six-year span beginning in 2011 and Lincoln Memorial, who played in the 2016 national championship game in the first of back-to-back appearances.

The next two teams in the poll are West Texas A&M, who was a national semifinalist a year ago and Northwest Missouri State, won the 2017 national title.

After Northwest is Saint Anselm, followed by Queens (N.C.), who also reached last year’s national semifinal round and Indiana (Pa.), who played in the national title game in 2015. Cal Poly Pomona, who was the first national champion of the 2010s, is ranked ninth in the pre-season.

Southern Nazarene rounds out the top 10 following its best season as a member of NCAA Division II and the same can be said for West Florida, a 28-win team a year ago that was ranked one spot in back of fellow Gulf South Conference foe Valdosta State.

Defending national champion Ferris State appears in the poll at No. 13, while Western Washington is ranked 14th and another 2018 Elite Eight entry, East Stroudsburg, was picked 15th.

The pre-season top 20 is completed by Virginia State, Morehouse, St. Cloud State, Regis and Southwest Minnesota State; three of those teams either won a regular season or conference tournament title last year.

The final five teams in the poll are Dallas Baptist, Florida Southern, Findlay, UC San Diego and Missouri Southern.

Two pre-season events kick off the 2017-18 season this weekend, beginning with the D2CCA Tip-Off Classic in Anaheim, Calif., which starts Friday. The field includes No. 4 West Texas A&M and two others that received votes, Azusa Pacific and Drury.

The other event takes place in St. Joseph, Mo., with the Hall of Fame Classic, which includes the two teams that faced off in the national title game, Ferris State and Northern State, in a field that also has Queens (N.C) and Northwest Missouri State.
