POST PIONEERS 2011 WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL SHELLANE OGOSHI Head Coach • Third Season • Hofstra ‘07 HEAD COACH SHELLANE OGOSHI Coach Shellane Ogoshi enters her third season as the head coach of the women’s voll leyball squad. The 2010 season was even better than the first season of 2009 for Ogoshi, aas the Pioneers earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament with 20-13 overall record for tthe year. A combination of leadership and youth helped propel C.W. Post to the big dance w with senior Marilena Guadagnini and freshman Makamae Namahoe earning All-Confereence nods. At the conclusion of the 2010 season, Coach Ogoshi was named a Thirty Under 30 R Recipient. The award was featured in the 210 April/ May edition of Coaching Volleyball m magazine. Shellane was one of three NCAA Division II coaches recognized for the award. The 2009 season was a productive year for Ogoshi, as the Pioneers finished with a record o of 14 wins and 14 losses, earning her Coach of the Year honors within the Conference. A Also, two Pioneer players were named All-Conference Selections. Senior middle blocker Kerry Heitner and Freshman middle blocker Kirsten Taylor represented the Pioneers. Ogoshi spent one season as an assistant coach at her alma mater Hofstra University, where she assisted with all facets of the program.

Ogoshi played in 118 matches during her career and tallied 4,597 assists and 1,660 digs. She was a two-time Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Setter of the Year (2005 and 2006) and also earned 2005 CAA Player of the Year accolades.

POST PIONEERS 2011 WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL saw her accumulate 44 blocks, including 21 solo blocks. She will not only be counted as a top middle player for the Pioneers at the net, but also try to fill the void of a vocal leader and communicator left by the 2010 senior class. Incoming athletes include a pair of transfers, as well as a pair of freshman. Junior transfer Emily Hoehn (Kearney, Neb.) comes to C.W. Post after winning a NJCCA Championship at Western Nebraska. Hoehn is looking to come in a fill the libero spot for the Pioneers. Her hard work and intensity bring needed variables, as well as her good court discipline and strong personality. She also brings experience to a generally young Pioneer squad, which will create chemistry and show her strength as a team player. Fellow transfer, sophomore Stephanie Schwarz (Hoffman Estates, Ill.), will also look to figure into the Pioneer rotation at the setter position. Schwarz comes into C.W. Post after redshirting at Easter New Mexico University. She also comes from a strong club team out of Illinois, Club Fusion, which she was a part of for three years. Her quick offense along with consistency will be looked at as a strong point of the Pioneer offense. Freshman Heather Adams (Centerville, Ohio) comes in adding good height at the net in the middle. Like Schwarz, Adams comes from a good club team and is already demonstrating solid potential. Kaiulani Kaalekahi (Waimanaio, Hawaii) also comes to the Pioneers as a freshman, looking to add depth to the setter and libero positions. Her position flexibility and playmaking abilities should work well for the Pioneers. The Pioneers come into 2011 with no really weakness, establishing a solid core and adding variables that should blend and create a good on court chemistry. Having depth and options at many positions will allow Coach Ogoshi to juggle things around and find the best fit for various situations. The schedule for 2011 should prove to be another competitive year for the Pioneers, as the season will begin in tournament play at both Kutztown and West Chester with an ECC and home opener game put in between on Sept. 7 against Dowling. The 33 game schedule includes 14 conference matches to go along with 19 non-conference matches, including a rematch from last year’s NCAA East Regional at Adelphi on Sept. 27. 2011 Women’s VOLLEYBALL Media Guide 9 2011 SEASON OUTLOOK Coming off a 2010 season that resulted in a NCAA Tournament appearance, the Pioneer volleyball team is looking for much of the same success in 2011. After completing the regular season 20-11 and a fourth place finish in the ECC standings, the Pioneers earned a fifth seed in the NCAA East Region Tournament and two players being named to the ECC All-Conference Teams. The team ended up losing the opening round match of the NCAA Tournament to Adelphi in five sets, however, the Pioneers showed some promise for 2011 with some young talent despite the departure of four seniors from the 2010 squad. Makamae Namahoe (Hilo, Hawaii) was one of the two Pioneers named to an ECC All-Conference Team, as she earned a spot on the Second Team after a solid freshman year season. Receiving Rookie of the Week honors twice during the season, Namahoe completed the season second on the team in kills with 292 and first with her 60 blocks. The sophomore will be looked upon to become another top performer on the court, as she will be used in many position changes and rotate along the hitter positions. Fellow returning sophomores, Shayla Hixson (Honolulu, Hawaii) and Jordan Schroer (Kailua, Hawaii), are also going to be looked at as the core of the Pioneer squad that led to success of last year and help capture that success once again this year. Hixson is coming into 2011 with an increase in explosiveness, as well as her vertical that, which will help her make the move to the outside. Schroer will rotate to the middle, offering a good blocking set that saw increased improvement during offseason training. The trio of Namahoe, Hixson, and Schroer are expected to move around on the court, as they count as the top attackers returning from last year. Last year’s team also returns three upperclassmen, with seniors Andrea Nolan (Ridgefield, N.J.) and Laura Garbarino (Nutley, N.J.) along with junior Lisa Delfs (Canandaigua, N.Y.) returning for their second years in Pioneer uniforms. Nolan, however, will most likely miss the 2011 campaign due to an injury. Garbarino is going to be counted on for her excellent work ethic and dedication, looking to fill in wherever the team may need her. Her main position will be in the middle, looking to add depth behind Delfs but also adding a utility type to various positions on the court. Delfs comes into 2011 in good shape after a solid offseason after adding depth to the 2010 season that C.W.

His first book, “Philippine Collaboration in World War II,” won the University Press Award in 1969. “The Philippines: A Singular and a Plural Place,” now in its third edition, was described by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Nicholas Platt as “the best single-volume guide to understanding the Philippines, past and present.” He also edited and co-authored both editions of “In Search of Southeast Asia,” one of the major textbooks on the area. Dr. Steinberg recently collaborated with top scholars from around the world to co-author “The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia,” a new and multifaceted history of this complex region. In addition, he is a co-author of “Religion and Religiosity in the Philippines and Indonesia: Essays on State, Society and Public Creeds,” which was published in 2005. Dr. Steinberg was a member of the international observer team that monitored the Philippine presidential elections when Corazon Aquino defeated Ferdinand Marcos.
