Coaching Staff

lead the Panthers into the 2006 season
Kathy Litzau
Head Coach • 14th Season • Overall Record: 247-146 • Notre Dame ‘90
Now well into her second decade as the head coach at the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kathy Litzau is making sure success is
always a part of the Panther volleyball program.
Entering her 14th season in charge of a program that won just
three matches the year before
she was hired, Litzau’s resume
is now full of successful notes.
She has been named the Horizon League Coach of the
Year six times while leading
the Panthers to seven Horizon
League regular season titles.
UWM has also won at least
20 matches eight times under
Litzau and advanced to the
NCAA Tournament five times.
Plus, her 118 Horizon League
victories are by far the most of
any active league coach.
Litzau’s teams have even found a way to increase their level of success
in recent seasons. Over the last nine campaigns, Litzau has directed
her team to a remarkable 105-13 record in league matches, which
adds up to an astounding .890 winning percentage. UWM has lost
just four league regular season matches over the last three seasons.
And, the Panthers have won 95 of their last 106 home matches and
have seen only two league teams (Loyola and UW-Green Bay) beat
them at the Klotsche Center since 1996.
The 2005 season produced more of the same for Litzau and the
Panthers. UWM won its third-straight Horizon League regular
season crown, becoming the first league school since Notre Dame
to accomplish that feat. Steady improvement was the story of
the season for the Panthers, who dropped their first two league
contests before rattling off 12-straight league wins. Perhaps even
more impressive was that UWM finished the regular season with
five-straight league matches on the road, and won all five matches
by identical 3-0 scores.
The season also saw UWM excel against a difficult non-league
schedule. The Panthers won matches at Virginia Tech (ACC) and
Charlotte (Atlantic 10) while also winning neutral site matches
over Georgetown (Big East) and George Washington (Atlantic
10). Among its non-league losses, UWM dropped two matches to
SEC foes and two matches to Big East teams in facing the toughest
non-league slate in the Horizon League.
A number of Panthers were again honored in 2005, adding to a long
list of Litzau players who have received personal accolades. Cheryl
Hegemann and Melissa Lange earned All-Horizon League honors
while Becky Peters was named the Horizon League’s Co-Newcomer
4 • Coaching Staff
of the Year. Plus, Sarah Moore earned American Volleyball Coaches’
Association honorable mention all-region honors.
But, as her career numbers show, the success in 2005 was nothing
new for Litzau and the Panthers.
In 2004, UWM lost only one regular season match after Sept. 21
and rode an 11-match winning streak to a league title. Standout
Karen Fruit won Horizon League Player of the Year honors - the
fifth Panther to win the award under Litzau - while Leanne Felsing
was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year.
The 2003 season saw UWM win 25 matches and claim the regular
season Horizon League championship. The 25 wins tied a school
record for victories - something accomplished four times under
Litzau. The individual honors also rolled in, as Litzau was named the
league’s coach of the year and Lindsey Spoden won league player of
the year honors. During that season, Litzau became just the second
UWM coach to claim 200 wins exclusively in Division I (baseball
coach Jerry Augustine is the other).
Litzau’s success at UWM has come in nearly every way imaginable.
The 2002 season marked one of Litzau’s finest coaching jobs. She
took a team that started 1-7 and was slowed by injuries all season
long and led it to a 20-14 mark and an NCAA Tournament berth.
In fact, the Panthers won 18 of their final 23 matches. Tari Boutin
wound up being named the league’s player of the year despite being
sidelined early by an injury and Spoden won league tournament
MVP honors.
1993 UWM 6-27
The Panthers have also had the
247-146
chance to play in some of the TOTAL
best volleyball environments in
the country, including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Iowa.
And, Litzau has led her team across the country, playing in tournament and post-season play from coast-to-coast. UWM’s schedule
has also consistently boasted some of the top names in volleyball.
In 2004, the Panthers faced Washington, ranked #1 in the country
much of the season. Last season UWM played in tournaments at
both Virginia Tech (ACC) and Cincinnati (Big East). This season’s
schedule is also challenging, as UWM will host Wisconsin while
also playing at Louisville, Alabama and Illinois.
Litzau has coached plenty of other players to league and regional
honors. Two other Panthers have been named League Players of
the Year - Laura Dallenbach in 2000 and Sue Raschka in 1999.
And, both Spoden and Fruit have earned honorable mention AllAmerica honors.
Litzau’s recruiting classes have paid dividends, as she has coached six
league newcomers of the year and 14 players on the league’s all-newcomer team. In addition to Peters being named the league newcomer
of the year last year and Felsing earning the award in 2004, Lindsey
Spoden was the region freshman of the year in 2000.
Litzau has been honored regularly for her efforts, with the first of
her six League Coach of the Year honors coming in 1997. She was
also named the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association District
VI Coach of the Year in 1999.

Lauren and Kayce. The family is posing at Lauren’s First
Communion.
Litzau’s UWM career started in 1993, when she took over a program
that had won just three matches the season before. She proceeded to
increase the number of wins every season until UWM set a Division
I school record by winning 25 matches in 1997. UWM has now won
an average of more than 22 matches over the past nine seasons.
In the process, Litzau has increased the excitement level surrounding the program. Crowds at the Klotsche Center are usually among
the largest in the league and the quality of the Panthers’ schedule
has increased every year. Under Litzau’s leadership, UWM put its
best foot forward in hosting the 2001 Horizon League Volleyball
Championship, which produced some of the strongest attendance
figures ever for the event.
Plus, this past winter, the program debuted its “Dig n’ Dazzle” fashion show, a highly-successful fundraiser that is again scheduled for
this coming spring. She has also built a very successful volleyball
summer camp program at UWM, regularly filling sessions held at
the Klotsche Center.
Throughout the course of her career, Litzau has also been involved
in the sport of volleyball in a number of other ways. She has served
as a color analyst for television broadcasts of the league tournament
and NCAA regionals. She has also served on a number of committees within the AVCA.
Litzau came to UWM after an impressive start as a player and assistant coach. As a player at Notre Dame, Litzau was a four-year
letterwinner. She was a captain and was named the team’s most
valuable player as a senior. She led the Fighting Irish to an NCAA
Tournament appearance as a junior. During her sophomore year,
she represented the West at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival. After
graduation, Litzau was named an All-American, a member of the
all-rookie team and a 1992 USVBA National Champion.
Litzau then got her coaching career rolling as an assistant coach

at Illinois in 1990. While with the Illini, she received her master’s
degree in kinesiology. She also served as an assistant at Wisconsin
in 1992 and at Michigan State in the spring of 1993 before being
named the head coach at UWM.
A native of Naperville, Ill., Litzau attended Naperville Central
High School, where she lettered in three sports. She was married
in May, 1996, and she and her husband, Steve, make their home in
Greendale. The couple has three daughters - Lauren (8), Danielle (7)
and Kayce (5) - and a son - Nicholas (3), all of whom are regulars
at UWM’s home matches.
Susie Johnson
Associate Head Coach • 10th Season • Idaho State ‘93
Susie Johnson has been a part of nothing but success since joining
the UWM volleyball program nine years ago.
“Susie and I really make a lot of shared decisions in the program,
including things like recruiting, practice planning, scheduling and
game preparations,” Litzau said. “She’s valuable to this program
and obviously we’ve had nothing but success since she joined the
program.”
In particular, Johnson works closely with the setters on the team,
helping Lindsey Spoden to 2000 Midwest Region Freshman of the
Year honors and 2003 Horizon League Player of the Year honors,
while pushing Melissa Lange to all-league honors in 2004 and
2005.
Her efforts on the recruiting trail have led to five League Newcomer
of the Year honors for UWM players and a total of 13 players on the
All-Newcomer team since 1996. The 2004 recruiting class included
four of the top players from Wisconsin, with two earning all-newcomer honors after their freshman season. Then, 2005’s lone recruit
- Becky Peters - was named the league’s co-newcomer of the year.
The 2006 class again includes four Wisconsin standouts.
A native of Racine, Wis., Johnson joined the Panther staff after
serving as an assistant coach at Indiana State for two seasons.
While at Indiana State, she handled recruiting, monitored NCAA
compliance, assisted with team academic affairs and coordinated
travel. Prior to working at Indiana State, Johnson served as the
head coach at Division II UW-Parkside. She also coached at Idaho
State, her alma mater, and served as a camp coach at Wisconsin
and Illinois.
Johnson was a four-year starter at Idaho State. A setter, she served
as the team captain for three seasons and played in the 1990 NCAA
Tournament. During that season, she received Big Sky Conference
and Big Sky Tournament MVP honors, as well as Northwest Region
first-team accolades. She also made the Big Sky All-Academic team
twice. In September of 2003, Johnson was inducted into the Idaho
State Athletic Hall of Fame.
Johnson earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, physical education, and health from Idaho State. She also completed her
master’s degree in physical education-adult fitness from Indiana
State in December of 1999. Johnson, a Racine native, lives in Racine
with her husband, C.J., son Ty, daughter Josie and stepson Brody.

In fact, the Panthers have won
either the regular season or
tournament championship in
league play in all nine seasons
Johnson has been on the staff.
Five of the last eight Panther
squads have qualified for the
NCAA Tournament and eight
of nine of Johnson’s teams have
won at least 20 matches. At
UWM, Johnson works closely
with Kathy Litzau in nearly
every facet of the program.
Rocky Koenig
Assistant Coach • 2nd Season • Lakeland ‘05
Rocky Koenig is starting his
second season as an assistant
coach for the UWM volleyball
program.
Koenig has brought a wealth
of volleyball experience to the
Panthers, having coached on
both the high school and club
levels while playing on the
collegiate level. Along with
participating in all on-court
coaching activities, Koenig is
heavily involved with the program’s video editing equipment, creating scouting reports on all of UWM’s opponents while breaking
down match video.
Koenig is also currently with the highly-regarded Milwaukee Sting
volleyball club. His club coaching experience also includes stints
with the N.E.W. Rock Stars and the Kill Shot Volleyball Club. Koenig
has also been active in the high school ranks. He started coaching in
1998 and was the head varsity coach at Ashwaubenon High School
in 2003. He has also played on the collegiate club level, earning First
Team All-America honors and Wisconsin Volleyball Conference
honors as a libero at Lakeland College, which was the NIRSA Division II national runner-up. Koenig, who served in the Air Force for
six years, graduated from Lakeland in the spring of 2005
“Rocky is a very high-energy person and he has brought a great deal
of enthusiasm and expertise to our program,” head coach Kathy Litzau said. “He is very versatile and has been able to help our program
in a number of ways. He has made an impact on our defense and
passing. He is committed to a career in collegiate coaching and we
are happy to keep him on our staff.”
Koenig and his wife, Anita, were married in July.
Lindsey Spoden
Director of Volleyball Operations • 2nd Season • UWM ‘04
Lindsey Spoden is beginning
her second season as the Director of Volleyball Operations for
the Panther program. Spoden
has returned to UWM after a
stellar career with the Panthers
as one of the best setters in
school history.
A four-time All-Horizon
League honoree, Spoden was
the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association Midwest Region
Freshman of the Year in 2000 and an honorable mention AVCA
All-American in 2003. She also earned all-region honors twice
and was the co-player of the year in the Horizon League in 2003.
Spoden is second in school history in both digs and assists and she
helped the Panthers to three NCAA Tournament berths and a pair
Michael Poll
Team Manager
of league titles during her stellar four-year career.
Spoden has remained active in volleyball, coaching for the Milwaukee Sting Volleyball Club over the last three years. In her role as the
director of volleyball operations at UWM, Spoden handles many of
the administrative functions of the program, including coordinating team travel and serving as an alumni liason while helping with
fundraising. This past year, she was instrumental in the program’s
“Dig n’ Dazzle” fashion show.
“It is very exciting to have an alum want to continue to be associated with the program and to be so willing to bring her experiences
to our current team,” head coach Kathy Litzau said. “While she is
not involved in on-court coaching, she certainly has developed an
excellent relationship with our players because of the deep respect
they have for her. It has also been a great opportunity for her to
get involved in collegiate coaching and to get involved in all of the
off-court aspects of the program.”
One of the most well-known faces around Panther
athletics is Michael Poll. He helps with many of the
UWM athletic teams and is a presence at most volleyball practices and matches. Poll is also involved
with most other UWM teams, including both
basketball teams and the baseball team.
2006 Outlook

2006 Horizon League season begins in September.
After all, the Panthers have won the last three Horizon League
regular season titles and have posted a 105-13 record in regular
season league matches since 1997.
But, UWM seems ready to do all it can in living up to, and even
exceeding, those expectations. In each of the last three seasons,
the Panthers have entered the league tournament as the top seed
before bowing out and missing the NCAA Tournament. So, while
not at all taking a league title for granted, the Panthers have even
bigger things on their minds in 2006.
“I think our team knows that they should do well in the Horizon
League, but I think they are hoping to look beyond the league,”
UWM head coach Kathy Litzau said. “This group wants to be one
of the best teams in the region and then compete against the best
teams in the country. I think this spring helped give us the vision
that it is possible.
Spring Season Serves As Springboard
UWM’s spring season was a successful one, as the 10 returning
players on the roster faced a highly-competitive schedule and
showed great improvement over the month-plus they played together.
The two biggest spring highlights came on the final two weekends of the schedule. In their own tournament, the Panthers beat
Northwestern, UIC, UW-Green Bay and a team of UWM alums
to claim the unofficial tournament title. Then, the next weekend
in Aurora, Ill., UWM knocked off Dayton, Marquette and Iowa
while falling in tight matches to Big Ten powers Minnesota and
Purdue. Plus, before those two tournaments, the Panthers pushed
Wisconsin to four games on its home floor.
“It was a defining time over the last two weeks of the spring, and
we were extremely successful,” Litzau said. “A lot of the matches
were very competitive and we came up big down the stretch. And,
in the matches we lost to Purdue and Minnesota, they had to step
up and win those matches – we did not back down. It is always
nice to beat conference opponents and rivals, but we also got the
chance to show we could compete against the best teams in the Big
Ten. A lot of people will say it is just the spring, but everyone is still
competing and we fared very well.”
Senior Cheryl Hegemann returns to the Panthers after earning
All-Horizon League honors a season ago.
much of the season. All-Horizon League honoree Cheryl Hegemann and AVCA honorable mention all-region performer Sarah
Moore both return after starting all of last season in the middle.
Hegemann starts the season on pace to become UWM’s all-time
leader in blocks while also looking to pass 1,000 career kills. She
also emerged as a stellar back-row player a season ago, tallying a
career-best 281 digs and 12 double-doubles. Hegemann is also one
of the most experienced players in the Horizon League, having
played in 84 matches over the first three seasons of her career.
Veteran Middles Show The Way
Moore, meanwhile, set career bests for kills (296), blocks (131) and
hitting percentage (.285) in 2005. She emerged as one of UWM’s
most consistent offensive performers, reaching double figures in
kills 15 times. Moore should also crack the top three on UWM’s
all-time blocks list by the end of the season.
While there will be plenty of competition for playing time in 2006,
two of UWM’s most veteran players seem likely to be on the court
“We’re really in good shape with Cheryl and Sarah in the middle,”
Litzau said. “Cheryl has been playing since her freshman year and
10 • 2006 Outlook
Sarah has played in nearly every match over the last two years, so
they have plenty of experience. This will be the fastest our middles
have ever been and that will be a great benefit to our offensive attack. They have also worked a lot on their block and it has really
gotten to be very good.”
Depth Leaves Litzau With Plenty Of Options
There figures to be some intense battles for playing time on the
outside during preseason practice and the non-league slate.
“Things have definitely gotten
very competitive and a lot of
people are stepping up,” Litzau
said. “We have a lot of options
on the outside, and all of those
options have improved from
last fall until now. It was a really good spring for everyone.
I’ve always thought of the spring
as a chance to train in position,
but also step in to other spots. It
helps everyone’s experience and Senior Melissa David emerged
down the stretch last season.
we really get the chance to see
people blossom.”
David might have the inside track for a starting spot, having
played the best volleyball of her career down the stretch in 2005.
She played in all but one match last year, tallying career bests in
kills (225) and blocks (48). She collected 138 of her 225 kills in
league play, including a 21-kill outing in a win at Wright State in
October.
Gabrielsen, meanwhile, excelled as a libero during her freshman
season before moving outside as a sophomore. She has battled
knee troubles throughout her career and missed 11 matches last
season because of the injury. Ferguson, the fourth senior on this
year’s team, set career-bests last season for kills (59) and digs (22)
while starting three matches.
Felsing Sets The Table
Junior Leanne Felsing appears to be the odds-on favorite to take
over the setter role from Melissa Lange, who graduated after earning All-Horizon League honors in each of the past two seasons.
Felsing was UWM’s main setter during the spring campaign and
excelled in that role.
Last fall, Felsing split setting duties with Lange during non-league
play before playing exclusively on the outside during league com-

Melissa David, Monica Ferguson
and Kelley Olson lead the list of
candidates for one outside spot,
while Jamie Gabrielsen and Nicole Vilter both shined on the
right side in the spring season.
Breaking Down The Non-League Schedule
petition. She had 395 assists and set a school record with six tripledoubles. Felsing is the definition of an all-around player, with the
junior on pace to finish in the school’s top 10 for kills, digs and
assists by the end of her career.
Freshman Kellye Zaporski, a highly-touted high school prospect,
should provide competition for Felsing this fall and looks to be in
line to take over the setting duties in future seasons.
“Leanne did a very nice job this spring,” Litzau said. “She is very
athletic, she has good size and she has excellent court awareness.
She really has a lot of potential in the setting position. Kellye is one
of the best setter recruits we have ever signed. She is not as big as
Leanne but she has a lot of the same skills and I think her abilities
will create some competition at that position.”
Back Row Defense In Good Hands
UWM also finds itself loaded in the back row, with reigning Horizon League Co-Newcomer of the Year Becky Peters leading the
list of defensive specialists. Peters set a single-season UWM record
for digs last season. She is joined by junior Breit Nelson, who has
played in a defensive specialist role for the past two seasons. Plus,
UWM will add freshman Lauren Felsing for the fall, giving Litzau
plenty of options in the back row.
“Our backcourt defense should be very good. Becky obviously
proved herself and it is her position to lose. But Lauren Felsing is
a great defensive player. Plus, Breit played well this spring,” Litzau
said. “I can definitely see us having two or three defensive specialists see time on the floor. I am really excited about how good we
can be defensively, and that in turn will help our passing and our
offense.”
Peters’ 2005 season was one for
the record books, as she tallied
a school record 517 digs. She
reached double figures in digs
in every match of the year and
collected 41 digs in a five-game
win over George Washington in
September.
One Other Fresh Face
The other new addition to the
roster this fall will be freshman
middle hitter Maddie Sueppel.
With Hegemann and Moore
ahead of Sueppel on the list of
middles, it would seem unlikely
she would crack the rotation Senior Sarah Moore was one of
this season. But, Litzau seems
UWM’s most consistent
contributors last season.
to think she’ll find a way to get
Sueppel - a standout on the club
scene who missed her senior season of high school with a knee
injury - on the floor.
12 • 2006 Outlook
Junior Leanne Felsing will likely be the full-time setter this season.
She tallied a school-record six triple-doubles a season ago.
“Maddie is the one true hitter in our recruiting class, but she is a
middle where it would seem like we are set,” Litzau said. “Yet, she
is one of the best middles we have ever recruited. I’ve always had
the philosophy of putting our best six or seven players on the floor,
and there will be a lot of competition in the battle for getting on
the floor regularly.”
No Shortage Of Challenges
A home match with Wisconsin and six contests against NCAA
Tournament teams highlight the 2006 schedule. In addition to
Wisconsin, which reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and finished 10th in the final American Volleyball Coaches’
Association poll, the Panthers will also play at Louisville, which
won 31 matches, reached the Sweet 16 and finished 11th in the
final AVCA poll.
Plus, UWM will participate in tournaments hosted by Illinois of
the Big Ten and Alabama of the SEC, while also squaring off with
mid-major volleyball standouts Winthrop (28-6 in 2005), Ball State
(21-10) and Oral Roberts (22-11). The contest with Wisconsin is
Saturday, Sept. 9, in the final match of the Panther Invitational.
“We can really make a mark with the schedule we have assembled
this year,” Litzau said. “A lot of times you do the scheduling in advance, and you are kind of projecting what your team is going to
be like. I was a little nervous in making this schedule, but this team
can handle it. In fact, after watching us play this spring, I think it
is a perfect schedule for this team. We will be challenged at every
turn, and that will help make this team better.”

Senior Cheryl Hegemann will look to lead UWM back to the NCAA Tournament in 2006.

Valpo Set To Join Horizon League In July 2007
The Horizon League will add a 10th member in time for the 2007-2008 season.
Valparaiso University will join the league
in July of 2007. The Crusaders will compete in a total of 17 sports, sponsoring
nine sports for men (cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, tennis, outdoor track
and field, and baseball plus football in the
Pioneer Football League) and nine for
women (cross country, volleyball, soccer,
basketball, swimming and diving, indoor
track and field, tennis, outdoor track and
field, and softball).
The addition was welcomed by UWM officials, who see Valpo as a strong fit for the
league in a number of ways. The addition
of Valpo will also restart a number of rivalries between the Panthers and Crusaders.
“Adding a 10th member to our league
has been a priority, and we have made a
fine choice in Valparaiso,” UWM Athletics
Director Bud Haidet said. “It is a strong fit
both geographically and athletically, and
I think it is a move that will please many
of our alums and supporters. Obviously,
many people will immediately look toward
the impact this will have on basketball, and
it clearly will help our league’s strength on
both the men’s and women’s side. It will
help with scheduling and Valpo should
be a strong draw when they come to Milwaukee. But Valpo has also had success in
a number of other sports, and this should
have a positive impact on every sport the
League offers.”
“This is a wonderful addition for volleyball
in the Horizon League,” UWM head coach
Kathy Litzau said. “Valpo has had a great
program, winning quite a few Mid-Con titles and building itself into a power regionally. This will clearly help the league’s RPI
in volleyball. Plus, we benefit from having
another opponent that is very close to us
geographically.”
“The addition of Valparaiso University as
our 10th member marks a very exciting
time for the Horizon League,” Commissioner Jon LeCrone said. “As the fourth
private school member, Valpo is an extraordinary fit for the League. They share
our core values of academic achievement,
community service and personal responsibility, and their location in the middle
of our League’s Midwest footprint in addition to their highly competitive athletic
program enhance the profile of the Horizon League. The decision to add Valparaiso was enthusiastically and unanimously
approved by our Board of Directors. This
promises to be a long and successful relationship.”
Valparaiso possesses a strong tradition
in women’s volleyball. In fact, the Crusaders have qualified for the last three
NCAA Tournaments. Valpo holds a 9-8
all-time advantage on UWM in volleyball
matches, with the most recent meeting a
3-0 UWM victory in 2001.

Horizon League Championship
(hosted by Wright State, Dayton, Ohio)
2005 In Review
Two-time All-Horizon League performer Melissa Lange helped the Panthers
to their third-straight Horizon League regular season title
• Taking The Crown
On the strength of 12-straight league wins, UWM won its third-straight
regular season league title. The title was the seventh regular season crown
for UWM under Kathy Litzau and marked the first time a league school
has won three-straight outright titles since Notre Dame won four-straight
from 1991 to 1994. UWM has also won outright titles in 1998 and 1999
and shared the crown with Butler in 1997 and Loyola in 2000.
• A Turnaround To Remember
When UWM started league play 0-2, it looked like the Panthers would
have a hard time living up to their preseason billing as the league favorite.
Instead, the Panthers responded like champions, claiming 12-straight
league wins. The 12-match streak included eight 3-0 wins and UWM had
to go to five games in just one match in the streak. Overall, UWM won
13 of its last 15 matches, with a 10-match overall winning streak snapped
Nov. 1 against Marquette. The Panthers have now had a winning streak of
at least seven matches in each of the last nine seasons and UWM has had
a winning streak of at least 10 matches in three-straight campaigns.
• Doing It On The Road
UWM knew it would have to finish strong on the road in order to claim its
third-straight regular season league title, and the Panthers came through.
After winning seven-straight league matches at home, the Panthers finished
the season by winning five-straight league matches on the road. UWM
didn’t even drop a game in those five matches. The Panthers have found the
road to be a friendly place in league play in recent seasons. UWM has now
won 25 of its last 28 and 35 of its last 41 Horizon League regular season
road contests. Overall last season, UWM was 12-6 in matches outside of
Milwaukee, including an 8-4 mark in true road contests.
tors Association of America. Hegemann, an education major, has a 3.83
grade-point average and is a regular on both the Horizon League Honor
Roll and UWM’s Dean’s List.
• Checking Out The Offense
UWM posted some stellar offensive efforts last season. The final accomplishment of note was a nearly-flawless six-error performance at
Youngstown Nov. 4. UWM hit .390 in the match, its best performance in
a league contest since hitting .404 against Cleveland State in 1999. Also,
the six errors were the fewest since UWM had six against Chicago State
in 1997. It was also the first single-digit error match since UWM committed just seven at Valpo in 2001. Earlier in the season, the Panthers hit
.416 at DePaul, its best performance since the 2000 season. And, when
UWM hit .348 at Wright State Oct. 29, the performance included a gametwo victory where the Panthers didn’t rely on a Raider error for a single
point. The Panthers recorded 27 kills and three service aces in tallying
their 30 points.
• Balance Is The Key
Another big key to UWM’s offensive success last season was the balance
of its attack. That showed up most in the Panthers’ league-only numbers
from a year ago, with four players averaging at least three kills per game
and another averaging 2.9. Sept. 30 against Wright State, five Panthers
reached double figures in kills in the win, led by 14 from Cheryl Hegemann. It was the only time last season five Panthers reached double figures
in kills, and the first time it had happened since an Oct. 15, 2004, win at
Cleveland State.
• Stepping Up When It Counts
A 12-2 record and a third-straight regular season title has added to
Milwaukee’s status as the top volleyball program in the Horizon League
over the last few seasons. Since 1997, UWM is 105-13 in league play easily the best mark among league teams. The Panthers have not finished
below second place in the league or lost more than three league matches
since 1996. UWM has also now won seven regular season league crowns
under Kathy Litzau.
Outgoing senior Rachel Kuebbing picked a great time to display some of
the most consistent play of her career. She reached double figures in kills
in the final eight matches of her career, including team-leading efforts in
each of the Panthers’ final four outings. She had 21 kills in the three-game
win at UW-Green Bay to wrap up the regular season, earning her first
career nod as the Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week. The 21
kills tied for the fifth-most in a three-game match in UWM’s Division I
history. Kuebbing finished the season with 340 kills, the best single-season
tally of her career. And, she finished her career with 910 kills, the eighthbest tally in school history.
• A 20-Win Celebration
• Diggin’ Becky
UWM’s win Nov. 11 at UW-Green Bay gave the Panthers 20 wins for the
season, the eighth time in the last nine years Milwaukee reached that milestone. In 2004, the Panthers saw a streak of seven-straight 20-win seasons
snapped when they won 19 matches. UWM has averaged more than 22
wins per season since 1997 and has won 25 matches three times.
Becky Peters was on pace to set a new single-season record for digs after
just the first weekend of last season, and she never let up on that pace. She
finished the year with 517 digs and reached double figures in digs in all 29
matches. Peters’ contributions were noticed across the league throughout
the season, as she earned Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week
honors three times. Plus, her final dig tally placed her sixth in the Horizon
League single-season record book for digs. Peters posted another entry in
the record books early last season. Against George Washington Sept. 15,
Peters collected 41 digs, a school record and the most by a league player
in more than 16 years.
• Continuing The Tradition
• Collecting Some Awards
A number of Panthers earned postseason honors following a successful
2005 campaign. Melissa Lange earned All-Horizon League honors for
the second-straight season, while Cheryl Hegemann earned all-league
honors for the first time. Plus, freshman libero Becky Peters earned
Horizon League Co-Newcomer of the Year honors. Sarah Moore also
earned recognition, being named honorable mention all-region by the
American Volleyball Coaches’ Association. The Panthers were honored
for their success in the classroom, as well. Lange, Hegemann and Moore all
were named to the Horizon League All-Academic team. Plus, Hegemann
was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District second
team. The team is coordinated by the College Sports Information Direc-
48 • 2005 Review
• Home Sweet Home
The Panthers again posted a successful home record in 2005, going 8-3
overall, including a 7-0 mark in league play. UWM has now won 95 of its
last 106 home matches and the Panthers are 120-34 all-time at home under
Kathy Litzau. UWM has also lost just seven home non-league matches in
the last nine-plus seasons, and no league team outside of Loyola or UWGreen Bay has beaten the Panthers in Milwaukee since 1996.

The History Of UWM Volleyball
Laura Dallenbach was a three-time all-league performer and was named the
Midwestern Collegiate Conference Player of the Year in 2000
A History Of Milwaukee Women’s Volleyball
women’s volleyball program has been a
part of the athletics department for more
than 30 years. From its officially-recorded
inception in 1973 to its recent dominant run
in the Horizon League, much of the history
of volleyball at UWM has been highlighted
by great success.
The 1982 season started a run of national
tournament appearances for the Panthers.
UWM rolled through most of the regular
season, winning 17-straight matches at one
point. The Panthers earned the national
tournament berth by winning their first District 14 crown and then UWM went 1-2 in
its first national tournament appearance.
In fact, of the 32 seasons of volleyball at the
school, the team has finished at or above
.500 in 24 of those years. In its days as an
NAIA school with some 60-plus matches per
season on the slate, UWM won at least 40
matches nine times and at least 50 matches
five times. In Division I play, UWM has won
at least 20 matches eight times.
UWM would reach an even greater level of
success over the next four seasons, as the
Panthers regularly dominated most of their
regular-season competition and set their
sights on improving their national finish. In
1983, UWM won a total of 52 matches and
stood 2-1 after the first day of competition
at nationals. A loss to St. Mary’s the next day
dashed the hopes of a crown, but UWM split
its final two tourney matches and claimed a
fifth-place national finish.
The first year on record for volleyball at
UWM was 1973, when Tony Vick led the
team to an 11-10 record. The first match
on record came Oct. 10 at Carthage, when
the Panthers dropped a 2-0 decision. Vick
also coached the team in 1974 before Beth
Norton coached the team for a single season
in 1975. That season, UWM claimed a win
over crosstown rival Marquette and posted
a six-match winning streak in tallying a
22-13 record.
Nancy Schley took over as head coach for
the next two seasons and the highlight of
those years came in 1977, when the Klotsche
Center opened. The volleyball team played
the first-ever intercollegiate event at the
Klotsche Center. With more than 200
people in attendance, the Panthers dropped
matches to both Carthage and Carroll.
Tom Pleyte took over as head coach in 1978
and the Panthers began to move toward
prominence in the state and in NAIA competition. UWM’s first 40-plus win season
came in 1980, when the Panthers went
41-12-2. Playing against mainly in-state
competition, UWM posted winning streaks
of 11, 10 and seven matches. The Panthers
also claimed their first of four-straight
Wisconsin Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference titles.
UWM followed a similar path in 1981,
winning 43 matches and dominating its instate competition. UWM posted winning
streaks of 15 and 12 matches and advanced
back to AIAW regional competition by
winning the WWIAC regular season and
tournament crowns. But, the season ended
when UWM dropped three matches at the
regional level.
60 • History
In 1984, UWM lost just two of its 57 matches
prior to nationals. In fact, the Panthers
carried a 33-match winning streak into the
national tournament. That streak grew to
38-straight wins after UWM opened tournament play with five-straight victories. But,
standing in the way of the Panthers and a
national title were two traditionally-dominant schools from Hawai’i. UWM dropped
a hard-fought 2-1 decision to Hawai’i-Hilo
and then fell 2-0 to BYU Hawai’i in settling
for a best-ever third-place national finish.
Not to be outdone, the 1985 squad won 68
matches and posted a 40-match winning
streak in returning to the national tournament for the fourth-straight year. UWM
almost didn’t get back to the national tournament, though, losing to UW-Parkside in
early district play. But the Panthers then beat
Parkside twice later in the competition to
advance. This time, the tournament came
to the Klotsche Center and the Panthers
did all they could to take advantage of their
home-court edge. UWM won six national
tournament matches, setting a school record
and earning a fourth-place national finish.
UWM was competitive nationally in the
final three years it was eligible for NAIA
competition. In 1986, the Panthers won
29-straight matches in the regular season
and then went 2-2 in the national tournament, earning a ninth-place finish. In 1987,
UWM again almost didn’t return to national
competition, having to survive a five-game
match with Bemidji State in the NAIA BiDistrict Championship. Once at nationals,
the Panthers split their first four matches
Maureen Pitrof (top) and Sandy Festge
before winning a pair of one-game playoffs
to stay alive in the competition. But, UWM
lost its next two and had to settle for a seventh-place finish. Milwaukee’s final national
tournament appearance came in 1988, as the
Panthers won 52 matches during the regular
season. UWM won its first three matches
in the national tournament but again ran
into a roadblock from Hawai’i in its quest
to advance deeper. Hawai’i-Hilo claimed a
pair of wins over UWM and the Panthers
settled for a seventh-place finish.
This era of great success on the national
stage was also highlighted by the national
recognition a number of Panther players
received. Jaci Clark became UWM’s first
volleyball All-American when she earned
honorable mention honors from the NAIA
in 1982. Then, in 1984, Maureen Pitrof and
Carol Busche each earned All-America honors, with Pitrof repeating the feat in 1985.
Darla Wack and Sandy Festge (honorable
mention) also were named All-Americans in
1985. UWM’s success in the national tournament also led to a number of individuals
being recognized, including Pitrof earning
most valuable player honors for the 1984
tournament.

The Kathy Litzau era in Milwaukee began in
1993, as the former Notre Dame standout
took over a program that won just three
games in 1992 and had the team at .500 by
the 1995 season. The breakthrough year in
Division I competition then came in 1997,
when the Panthers won a school-record 25
matches and tied Butler for the Midwestern
Collegiate Conference title. UWM won 14straight matches before falling to Loyola in
the league tournament and missing out on
an NCAA Tournament berth.
The script was similar in 1998, as UWM
tied the school record with 25 more wins
and won its second-straight regular season
league crown. But, this time around, the
Panthers came through in the league tournament, claiming a 3-2 win over Loyola in
the title match to earn the school’s first-ever
berth in the NCAA Division I Volleyball
Tournament. The Panthers entered postseason with wins in 18 of its last 19 matches
before falling to Texas in the first round of
the NCAA Tournament.
UWM wasted little time in making its mark
in 1999, opening its home schedule with an
upset win over ninth-ranked Wisconsin.
That win would come in handy later in the
season when, after again winning the regular
season MCC title, the Panthers were upset
by Loyola in the league tournament. But,
UWM earned an at-large berth into the
NCAA Tournament, where it fell to Illinois,
3-1, in Gainesville, Fla. UWM again earned
an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in 2000. The Panthers won 14-straight
matches before being upset by Butler in
the league tournament. But, 23 wins were
enough to send UWM into a first-round
tournament matchup with Michigan State,
where the Panthers fell, 3-1.
The most recent seasons of volleyball have
seen the Panthers continue their dominance
over the Horizon League. In 2001, UWM
dropped five of its first nine matches against

UWM’s League Championship History
UWM has been a part of three conferences in its volleyball history. During its time as
an NAIA school, the Panthers played in the Wisconsin Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference before playing as an independent. In Division I play, UWM played one
season in the Mid-Continent Conference before joining the Midwestern Collegiate
Conference (MCC). The MCC became the Horizon League in 2001.

a tough schedule but then lost just two
matches in the rest of the regular season.
As the #2 seed in the league tournament
and playing on their home floor, the Panthers swept through the Horizon League
Tournament to earn a trip to Madison for
the NCAA Tournament. Once there, the
Panthers fell to the host Badgers but still
finished the season with 20 wins. The next
season, UWM again struggled with a tough
schedule early but rounded into form just
in time. Again holding the second seed in
the league tournament, UWM won threestraight matches - including a five-game
win over Loyola in the title match - to earn
the crown and another NCAA Tournament
berth. In the tourney, the Panthers faced off
with Northern Iowa and nearly pulled off the
upset before falling, 3-1.
In each of the last three seasons, UWM has
been close to unbeatable in Horizon League
regular season play, having won 38 of its 42
matches. But, the Panthers have been upset
victims in the league tournament in all three
years, keeping them out of the NCAA Tournament. UWM has won at least 20 matches
in two of those three seasons, though,
and posted a winning streak of at least 10
matches in each of the three years.

1990 brought new challenges for the Panther
volleyball program. The team struggled in
the early 1990’s before a coaching change led
the program into Division I prominence.
UWM’s Post-Season History
UWM’s volleyball history has included a total of 12 national tournament appearances.
The first seven came when the school was a part of NAIA competition, while the last
five have come in the NCAA Division I Tournament. UWM’s best-ever national finish
was third in the NAIA National Championship in 1984.

UWM and the Athletics Department
The UWM Union is located on the south end of campus and is often the first stop
on campus for students who live in the nearby neighborhoods
Location/Environment
UWM’s 93-acre campus is located on
Milwaukee’s upper East Side, one of the
city’s most attractive residential areas and
home to many faculty, staff and students.
The campus lies just five blocks from the
beautiful shoreline of Lake Michigan.
Its location in the business, financial, cultural and industrial heart of the state gives
students an edge in getting professional
experience while still in school.
The compact campus is situated along
residential tree-lined streets and stately
homes 10 minutes from downtown. UWM
is ranked as the second-safest campus in
Wisconsin.
History
Originally founded in 1885 as the Milwaukee State Normal School, the school
expanded its curriculum in 1927 to become
the Milwaukee State Teachers College. In
1951, it became Wisconsin State CollegeMilwaukee, and in 1956, UW-Milwaukee
was created with a merger of the State
College and the University of Wisconsin
Extension Center in Milwaukee
UWM Today
UWM has seen its enrollment grow to
28,000 students, the second largest number
in the state. The university boasts 120 undergraduate majors and submajors, 48 masters
and 18 doctoral degree programs. They are
separated into the following schools and
colleges:
• Allied Health Professions

public institutions in the nation in research
and development expenditures. UWM’s individual schools and colleges have achieved
national recognition, as well as top accreditation, by their review groups.

Among The Best
UWM is one of 148 U.S. colleges and universities (from a total of 3,600) ranked by
the Carnegie Foundation in the top group
called Doctoral/Research Universities Extensive.
Alumni
65 percent of alumni remain in Southeastern
Wisconsin, and include many of Milwaukee’s
business, cultural and community leaders.
More than 100,000 UWM grads live in all
50 states and abroad.
Among UWM’s many distinguished graduates are Golda Meir (Education ‘17), the
former prime minister of Israel, for whom
the UWM library is named.
Notable graduates in the sports world
include the late NASCAR champion Alan
Kulwicki (Mechanical Engineering ‘77) and
former NFL All-Pro defensive back Mike
Reinfeldt (Business ‘75), vice president and
chief financial officer of the Seattle Seahawks
of the National Football League. NFL referee
Bill Carollo, who officiated the 2003 Super
Bowl, is also a UWM grad. U.S. World Cup
standout Tony Sanneh also attended UWM,
as did Illinois men’s basketball coach Bruce
Weber.
Heralded as “The City of Festivals,” Milwaukee hosts more than 15 annual festivals,
including the world’s largest music festival,
Summerfest, and over a dozen ethnic festivals all held along Milwaukee’s spectacular
lakefront.
The RiverWalk, which meanders through
the heart of downtown, continues its development to the north and south. Fine food,
cultural venues, eclectic shops, exciting
nightlife and a wide array of distinctive
sports bars are located along the RiverWalk. Also prevalent along the RiverWalk
are many brewpubs and microbreweries.
One of the many highlights of downtown Milwaukee is the scenic RiverWalk, which extends
from the north end of downtown through the Third Ward.
Gondolas and water taxies frequently travel
Milwaukee’s scenic RiverWalk area.
The Historic Third Ward is quickly becoming the “off-Broadway” of Milwaukee’s arts
scene. It is home to the new Broadway
Theatre Center as well as another, smaller,
experimental theatre. In addition, this restored warehouse district features a number
of art galleries, the well-regarded Milwaukee
Institute of Art and Design, coffee houses,
cafes and antique stores. An abundance of
new housing in the form of loft-style apartments and condominiums are also becoming a part of the landscape in the area.
Milwaukee’s museum scene is also active.
The Milwaukee Art Museum wrapped up
a $100 million expansion a few years ago,
featuring a dramatic wing-like sculpture
rising high above Milwaukee’s lakefront.
The Milwaukee Public Museum includes a
number of nationally-reknowned exhibits
and an IMAX Theater. Plus, the Milwaukee
County Zoo is well-known as one of the
finest in the nation.
Summerfest is one of many annual festivals
held along Milwaukee’s lakefront
during the summer months.
Milwaukee also loves its sports. The city put
its stamp on Major League Baseball with the
arrival of Miller Park in the spring of 2001.
The $400 million, one-of-a-kind ballpark
features a convertible roof and natural grass.
Offering the finest in ballpark amenities,
Miller Park is a park within a park - that
is, it includes places to tailgate along the
Menomonee River, a sports-themed restaurant, and an elegantly finished restaurant,
the .300 Club. Miller Park also played host
to the Major League All-Star Game in 2002
and has hosted concerts and other special
events.
Two of the city’s other professional sports
teams, including the NBA’s Milwaukee
Bucks, play at the downtown Bradley Center. In addition, the U.S. Cellular Arena
downtown is the home of the UWM men’s
basketball team, as well as the Milwaukee
Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League.
The arena has undergone major renovations
and also hosts a number of concerts and
other special events.
The Milwaukee Mile, an auto racing track
located at State Fair Park, is home to a
NASCAR Busch Series and an Indy Racing
League event. Plus, the sports landscape also
includes one of the best county park systems
in the nation and an annual PGA Tour event
in suburban Brown Deer. Last year’s PGA
Championship was held in Kohler, just one
hour north of Milwaukee. Next year’s Senior
PGA Championship will also be in Kohler.
Milwaukee is also a tourist and business
destination for travelers around the state
and nation. The Midwest Express Center
downtown serves as the city’s main convention center and draws groups from around
the world to host their annual activities in
Milwaukee. Milwaukee is also easy to get to,
located at the intersections of interstates 94
and 43. Milwaukee’s Mitchell International
Airport has nearly 20 airlines, over 500 daily
departures and arrivals and features a newly
reconstructed public area.
This Is UWM • 81
Milwaukee, The Genuine American City,
is steeped in tradition and history, alive
in growth and development. From the
sparkling clean water of Lake Michigan, to
the rich heritage of our ethnic neighborhoods, Milwaukee invites you to discover
its unique, diverse community.

Santiago is UWM’s seventh Chancellor. In
this position, he is the chief administrative
officer of the university and a partner with
a great number of constituents on and off
campus.
Chancellor Santiago also holds the academic
rank of Professor of Economics at UWM. As
a labor economist, he has regional expertise
in the Caribbean and Central America, with
special emphasis on Puerto Rico.
His research interests include labor market
issues, problems of structural adjustment

“Universities must focus on creating the
scholar-athlete,” Chancellor Santiago said.
“Winning is nice, but first and foremost
you have to focus on the academics. UWM
clearly has that mindset, as shown by last
year’s outstanding performance both in the
classroom and on the playing field. I will
be a strong supporter of this unbeatable
approach to academics and athletics.”
Dr. Santiago is the author or co-author of
five books focusing on Puerto Rican society and economy, with the latest being the

Chancellor Santiago has a Ph.D. in economics from Cornell University (1982) and
M.A. degrees in economics from Cornell
University (1979) and the University of
Puerto Rico (1975).
Like most other boys growing up in Puerto

to Major League Baseball. Dr. Santiago
played third base throughout high school
and earned a place on his division’s all-star
team. In recent years, his sporting interests
have included golf, tennis, downhill skiing,
walking and jogging. He also helped coach
softball teams for his daughters.
UWM Athletic Board
Athletic Board plays a role in connecting
the athletic department to the rest of the
campus community. Made up of a variety
of staff and faculty members, students and
alumni, the board meets monthly and gets
involved in a number of the activities of the
athletic department.
The board’s stated mission includes fostering an environment in which a diversified
UWM athletic, intramural and recreation
program can be competitively and finan82 • This Is UWM
cially successful. The board is also dedicated
to integrating a well-rounded athletic, intramural and recreation program into the life of
the university, while also ensuring that the
UWM athletic, intramural and recreation
program operates in a manner that meets
the highest ethical and regulatory standards.

Bud Haidet
Director of Athletics
Athletics has been a way of life for UWM
Director of Athletics Bud Haidet, and Haidet
is busy making success a way of life for the
UWM Athletics Department.
The biggest highlight of last year came after
the Horizon League basketball season was
completed. The Panther men again made
their mark in the NCAA Tournament, beating Big 12 power Oklahoma before falling
to eventual national champion Florida. At
the same time, the Panther women were
battling with Michigan State in the NCAA
Tournament, only to fall in the contest.
Those basketball accomplishments came
on the heels of a 2005 post-season run that
saw the Panther men advance to the Sweet
16 and garner national recognition.
Basketball is far from the only sport where
UWM has experienced tremendous success.
In fact, both the men’s and women’s soccer
teams advanced to the second round of the
NCAA Tournament this past year. The men
knocked off Bradley before falling in overtime to national runner-up New Mexico,
while the women beat Purdue before falling
to Marquette on a last-second goal.
The success at UWM actually started long
ago. UWM finished second in the McCafferty Trophy standings during the 1997-98
school year and during the 1999-2000
school year. In fact, following the 1999-2000
season, UWM finished just one point out of
first place and won the MCC men’s all-sports
championship. The Panthers then won the
league’s all-sports trophy for the first time
after the 2000-01 season, and then won it
again after the 2003-04 campaign.
Many of UWM’s teams have also gained
national recognition under Haidet. The
great success of the men’s basketball team
also includes an NCAA berth in 2003 and a
National Invitation Tournament appearance
in 2004. The men’s soccer team has qualified
for the last five NCAA Tournaments and has
been ranked as high as eighth in the nation.
The women’s volleyball team has qualified
for five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments.
The women’s basketball team also made the
NCAA Tournament in 2001 and teams in
women’s soccer and baseball have also been
regulars in the NCAA Tournament. UWM
has also earned the reputation for hosting
successful Horizon League Championships.
The men’s basketball tournament has regularly set attendance records in Milwaukee
while tournaments for women’s basketball,
men’s and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball have all drawn accolades.
In the classroom, 67 UWM student-athletes
were named to the Academic Honor Roll
this past spring, the highest number in the
league. Numerous Panthers have also won
league and national academic awards. And,
the current cumulative grade point average
of all student-athletes is above 3.0.
Haidet has also directed an upgrade in facilities for all of UWM athletics. The recentlycompleted Klotsche Center renovation - the
Pavilion - has vastly improved the office and
training space for the athletic department.
Haidet has also led the extremely successful
move by the men’s basketball team to the U.S.
Cellular Arena in downtown Milwaukee and
shown the way for improvements at Henry
Aaron Field and Engelmann Field, which
will have lights beginning this season.
Over Haidet’s tenure, athletics at UWM has
moved from NAIA Division II to NCAA Division I status, and from independent status
to membership in two athletic conferences,
raising the bar of competition each time.
Haidet notes that the strong commitment
to athletics by the institution and student
association has greatly contributed to the
rapid and successful growth of the program.
He also feels past student-athletes, coaches
and administrators helped set in motion the
success UWM enjoys.
Haidet is active in numerous NCAA activities. He has completed Level I-III NCAA
Athletics Management courses and was
a member of two NCAA Division I Peer
Review Certification teams and two NCAA
committees. He was also recently the chair
of the Horizon League’s Executive Council
and is active in all of the league’s activities.
Prior to coming to UWM, Haidet was an
athletics administrator at Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio, where he earned both his
bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He was
inducted into the Miami Athletics Hall of
Fame last fall. A former captain in the marine corps, Haidet enjoys weight training,
hiking and fishing, and spending time with
his wife, Beth, stepson, Drew, four children
and 13 grandchildren.
This Is UWM • 83
In fact, the department has experienced unprecedented success on and off the playing
surface under Haidet. This past year, UWM
won the McCafferty Trophy, the Horizon
League’s All-Sports Trophy, for the fourth
time in six years. UWM won 10 league titles
and claimed a third-straight regular season
league title in men’s basketball. UWM has
also won the women’s all-sports award in five
of the last six years and the men’s all-sports
award for two-straight years.
Chuck Lang
Deanna D’Abbraccio
Associate Athletics Director
Chuck Lang joined the UWM athletics department in the fall of
2002 as an associate athletics director.
As the associate director of external
affairs, Lang’s duties include supervising the assistant director of external
operations, the athletic business office
and the fundraising coordinator.
Deanna D’Abbraccio has been a member of the UWM staff in a variety of positions since 1990. She started
as the NCAA compliance coordinator
and academic advisor for the school
before becoming an Assistant Athletics
Director and Senior Woman Administrator in 1996. She was promoted to
Associate Athletics Director in 2000.
Most importantly, he serves as the chief
financial administrator. This includes
overseeing policy development, public
relations and negotiation and construction of all major contracts.
Lang is also in charge of the men’s and women’s soccer programs at
UWM and has helped to oversee the Panther men’s basketball team’s
transition to the U.S. Cellular Arena in 2003. He has also played
an integral role in the expanded radio and television coverage for
UWM basketball and has taken the lead for the department on
developing an integrated marketing plan for all of UWM’s sports.
Her areas of responsibilities include
the academic enhancement, CHAMPS/
LifeSkills, strength and conditioning
and sports medicine programs, as well as oversight of some of
UWM’s sports. Also, over the past eight years, she has coordinated
the Klotsche Center addition project, which opened as the Pavilion
in January of 2006.
D’Abbraccio is actively involved in campus committees, including
the University Relations Committee, the Physical Environment
Committee, and the Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Task Force.
The expansion of UWM’s marketing efforts have included an extensive deal with Clear Channel for radio coverage and advertising, a
deal with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for increased advertising
and an agreement for extensive television coverage on CBS-58 and
WMLW in Milwaukee. UWM has also experienced a steady rise in
season-ticket sales over the last five years.
Within the Horizon League, she serves on the Executive Council,
acts as an administrative liaison for various sports committees,
and has been a member of the finance committee. When UWM
is called on to host Horizon League Championships, D’Abbraccio
often serves as the tournament director, with the school hosting a
number of highly successful league events.

its third-straight regular season Horizon
League title, won the league tournament
and advanced to the second round of the
NCAA Tournament. The appearance in

meeting and exceeding everything being asked of them.”
“The Game Plan/AVCA Team Academic Award is what being a
student-athlete is all about. The AVCA is privileged to once again
be able to award these schools for their excellence in the classroom,”

and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational
program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student
body. With this in mind, the UWM program, “SUCCESS,” was
created to support student-athlete development and to enhance
the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting.

student-athletes can take advantage of many of these medicinal
services on-campus at the Norris Health Center. There is also access
to other specialized professionals to assist in peak performance.
In addition to teaching the undergraduate athletic training students,
the staff provides care on a daily basis to UWM’s 295 student athletes. Each year the facilities, equipment, supplies and knowledge
are upgraded to progress sports medicine care to UWM’s studentathletes. The athletic training staff moved into its new working space
in the Pavilion this past January. The state-of-the-art 5,500-square
foot athletic training facility added a SwimEx hydrotherapy unit to
a more recent progressive equipment addition, an isokinetic testing
and strengthening Biodex unit.

is spearheaded by curriculum director Dr. Kyle Ebersole. These undergraduate students assist the certified athletic training staff in the
day-to-day care of the student-athlete’s sports medicine needs.
Klotsche Center:
The home of
UWM Volleyball
The J. Martin Klotsche Center is the home
of Panther volleyball.
The Klotsche Center, originally erected
in 1977, has a new look after an extensive
renovation and addition project wrapped
up this past spring. Along with work that
created the brand-new Pavilion, adjacent to
the Klotsche Center, the existing arena now
has air conditioning, a new sound system
and new concession areas. Fans attending
matches at the Klotsche Center can park in
the Pavilion parking garage and enter the
building without ever going outside.
This latest project is the most recent piece of
work done to upgrade the home of Panther
athletics. The arena area was also renovated
prior to the 1998-99 school year. The $2 million project included the addition of comfort
and chairback seating. In 1996, new wood
flooring and a new indoor track were added
to the Klotsche Center. The floor has been
renovated a number of times, most recently
five years ago when the new Horizon League
logo was added to the playing floor.
The Klotsche Center can hold as many as
5,000 spectators for a sporting event, and
the volleyball capacity is approximately
2,500. The largest crowd to ever see a sporting event at the Klotsche Center is 5,015,
present when the UWM men’s basketball
team faced Butler in 2002. The record for
a volleyball crowd at the Klotsche Center
is 1,012, set when UWM defeated ninthranked Wisconsin Sept. 1, 1999. The Panthers have also drawn more than 3,000 fans
for women’s basketball battles with in-state
rival UW-Green Bay
The UWM volleyball team has experienced
nothing but success at the Klotsche Center
under Kathy Litzau. UWM is 120-34 at
home under Litzau and the Panthers have
won 95 of their last 106 home matches. The
Panthers also compiled a school-record 33match home winning streak from 1996-1999
and have recorded three unbeaten home
campaigns under Litzau.
The 3-1 win over ninth-ranked Wisconsin
Sept. 1, 1999, stands as one of the major
highlights of the Litzau era. In 2004, the
Panthers went 12-1 at home, including wins

won eight more home matches, including
a perfect 7-0 mark in league matches. The
arena played host to the Horizon League
Volleyball Championship in 2001, when
the Panthers rolled through the event with
three-straight three-game sweeps. Fans
also turned out for the event, with the
tournament posting some of the strongest
attendance numbers ever.
The Klotsche Center is used as a practice facility for most of UWM’s varsity sports while
serving as the homecourt for volleyball and
women’s basketball. A four-lane indoor
track, added in 1996, is home to the UWM
men’s and women’s track and field teams,
Getting To The Klotsche Center
The Klotsche Center is located at 3409 N.
Downer Ave. Fans can park in the new Pavilion parking garage, which can be accessed via
driveway off of both Edgewood and Downer.
Fans are reminded that, due to the ongoing
Marquette Interchange project in downtown
Milwaukee, detours may be posted in that
area. The latest information is available online
at mchange.org.

and the Klotsche Center pool, located on the
lower level, is home to the UWM swimming
and diving teams.
The Klotsche Center has been home to a
number of league championship events,
including last March’s Horizon League
Women’s Basketball Championship. The
arena has also been home to a number of
area high school playoff events. In August
of 2002, the Klotsche Center played host to
a game involving the Yugoslavian National
Basketball team and NBA superstar Vlade
Divac. The team wound up winning the
World Basketball Championships the next
month. The arena also played host to an
appearance by President George W. Bush
in August of 2002.
The Pavilion
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus
building is the Pavilion, which is the home of UWM Athletics.
The Pavilion officially opened its doors to the public in January,
though some work on the structure and the adjacent grounds has
continued into the summer. The building was officially dedicated
by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM Chancellor Carlos
Santiago on May 2.
A view of the exterior of the new Pavilion
UWM student-athletes are also benefitting from the brand-new
sports medicine center in the Pavilion, which more than triples
the previous space available for UWM’s athletic trainers. The facility also includes a 2,800-square-foot academic assistance center to
help student-athletes in the classroom. The new academic center
includes a computer lab along with group and individual study
and tutoring rooms. A 618-space indoor parking garage is also
part of the facility.
UWM’s general student population is also benefitting tremendously from the new facility. A new fitness center has expansive
rooms for cardio workouts, as well as a weight room. The stateof-the-art area is the most visible from the outside of the facility,
as it features two levels of windows. The new recreation center has
two expansive levels and houses four sport courts surrounded by
a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is utilized by individuals
seeking open gym space, run and walk space on the track, and the
University’s intramural programs.
The new volleyball locker room, outfitted with beautiful wooden
lockers. The new volleyball facilities also include a team room,
adjancent to the locker room
The building also includes academic facilities for the College of
Health Sciences along with accommodations for the new Physical
Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs.
The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003,
came in below budget due to a favorable bidding climate. Half of
the funding is coming from UWM parking fees, while the other
half is from state funds and student segregated fees. The athletic
department has also undertaken a variety of fundraising efforts for
even greater enhancements within its space in the facility.
The new auxiliary gymnasium and elevated track
The most distinctive feature of the 135,000-gross-square-foot
Pavilion is the extensive use of glass “walls,” creating a feeling of
openness and allowing expansive views of nearby Downer Woods
and the campus.
Architects for the project were Venture Architects of Milwaukee,
a joint venture of Kahler Slater Architects and the Zimmerman
Design Group. They emphasize that placement and tinting of windows, called “cool daylighting,” not only allows a wash of daylight
inside while reducing energy needs.

Among the new athletics facilities in the building are offices for
coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new locker
rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.

In its 28th year, the Horizon League continues to aspire toward its
goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics conferences while
being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes
as leaders and role models.
The Horizon League membership features nine public and private
institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied
tradition of broad-based athletic programs. Current membership
includes Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola
University Chicago, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and
Youngstown State University. Valparaiso University will officially
join on July 1, 2007, expanding the League to 10 members and
enhancing the conference’s academic and athletic tradition.
The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the
educational experience through its four platforms of athletic
performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and
personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief
that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used
to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon
League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience
for the student-athlete, to create an affiliation of institutions with
similar athletic goals and to adhere to the principals of integrity,
diversity, excellence and growth.
The Horizon League, headquartered in Indianapolis, sponsors
competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross
country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field,
outdoor track and field and tennis) and 10 for women (basketball,
cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, indoor
track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and volleyball). The
League receives automatic bids to NCAA championships in baseball,
men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer,
softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.
Founded in 1979 as the Midwestern City Conference with six charter
members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87
academic year. Charter members of the conference included current
members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville,
Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier
University. Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980
and Cleveland State, UIC, UW-Green Bay, UW-Milwaukee and
Wright State came aboard in 1994 (along with Northern Illinois
University) in the largest non-merger conference expansion in
history, and Youngstown State joining in 2001.
In the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by two Sweet Sixteen
appearances (Butler 2003, UW-Milwaukee 2005) and five wins in
the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past four seasons,
including Milwaukee’s victory over Oklahoma this past March.
In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their
respective NCAA Championships each of the last four seasons in
