MEN’S VOLLEYBALL
2008 SEASON PREVIEW
Cardinals Looking For Continued Success in 2008
by Ryne Hillenberg - Athletics Communications & Marketing Student Assistant
Joel Walton, who enters his 10th season as head coach
of the Ball State men’s volleyball team, is poised to return
the program to championship form with 12 letterwinners
returning from last year’s squad, including four starters and
libero.
The Cardinals finished the 2007 season ranked 13th in
the nation with an 18-12 overall record, including an 8-4
Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association mark.
Leading the way for Ball State in 2008 will be seniors
Ian Peckler, Patrick Durbin and Justin Orr.
Peckler, a Second-Team All-America selection last season
as voted by the American Volleyball Coaches Association
and Volleyball Magazine, will return for his fifth year with
the program. He has amassed 750 digs over his career and
currently holds the career record for digs-per-game average
at 2.53. Peckler needs 297 digs this season to become Ball
State’s all-time career leader in the category.
“Ian will be our defensive anchor,” Walton said. “I expect
him to lead our conference in quality passes and digs.”
Durbin, who redshirted a year ago, will be a formidable
attacker and blocker for BSU this year. As a junior in 2006,
Durbin earned All-MIVA Second Team accolades after posting 269 kills, 159 digs and 50 blocks.
“Pat is another senior we will be relying on,” Walton
said. “He has ability to not only be our team’s top attacker,
but also a match-up blocker that can disrupt our opponents’
best attackers.”
Orr, a transfer from Missouri, enters his second and final
year with the team, will continue to be a force at the net
for Ball State. In 2007, Orr totaled 48 kills and 49 blocks.
“Justin, who will continue his academic work in dentistry
at another institution next year, will play a huge roll at the
net for us this season,” Walton said. “We will rely on him
for offense and blocking.”
Behind the seniors, BSU boasts a full cast of juniors and
sophomores who have valuable playing experience.
Starting with juniors, Ball State has four letterwinners
that will see playing time this season, including BSU’s top
returning point scorer, Matt McCarthy.
McCarthy, an All-MIVA Second Team selection last season,
led BSU with 104 total blocks and ranked ninth in the nation
with a .448 attack percentage. He was also second on the
team in kills, with 255, trailing only 2007 graduate Nick
Meyer.
“Matt is our team’s top middle,” Walton said. “He has
strong blocking and attacking skills, plus a personality that
gives our team a lot of energy.”
Todd Chamberlain had a successful sophomore campaign
in 2007, scoring 219 kills and a 2.88 kills-per-game average.
Chamberlain also totaled 138 digs and 20 aces.
“Todd continues to be our team’s most athletic player,”
Walton said. “He provides a huge offensive boost to our
team and his consistency continues to improve.”
Ryan Clarke returns for his junior season after battling
knee injuries which have hampered him since his freshman
year. Clarke finished the 2007 season with 82 blocks and
101 kills.
“Ryan is a wild card we hope to have ready by mid season,”
Walton said. “He is recovering from his second consecutive
summer of knee surgeries. He will hopefully challenge for a
starting role in the latter half of our season.”
The final junior, Mark Termion, totaled 48 kills and 33
digs last season coming off the bench. Termion, who shares
Ball State’s record for aces in a match at 11 with McCarthy,
also logged 10 blocks last season.
“Mark is one of our team’s better ball control players,”
said Walton. “He also has the ability to provided our team
with an offensive spark in the front row.”
BSU’s returning second-year players include two setters, a
pair of outside attackers, a middle attacker and a libero.
Jeff Schmitz and Ethan Pheister return for their second
season as BSU’s setters. Last year, the pair were used
interchangeably depending on the style of offense the match
required. Despite splitting playing time, Schmitz was named
the 2007 MIVA Freshman of the Year, an award he shared
with IPFW’s Matt Pliski.
Pheister also played an important roll for BSU, setting the
offense to wins over No. 6 Ohio State and No. 9 Pacific. He
also earned MIVA Player of the Week accolades.
“I’m glad we have a pair of setters with college experience,”
Walton said. “Both are capable of running our team’s offense.
While we have yet to find a clear cut winner in the setter
position, we are using both Jeff and Ethan a great deal
according to our designed match-ups.
“Both have showed the ability to be our team’s starter,
and I am pleased with how they have progressed. I also like
the fact they run our offense differently. They each have
strengths which help our team in different ways.”
BSU’s two sophomore outside attackers, Matt Sprague and
Eric Schulte, tallied 77 and 54 kills, respectively, last year.
“Matt is one of our team’s best passers and is an
experienced volleyball player who maximizes his athletic
ability,” Walton said. “He is a great competitor who was
instrumental in some of our biggest wins last season.
“Eric has one of our team’s best arms and we are working with him to improve his consistency. He also has a fiery
personality which gives our team a big emotional boost.”
Middle attacker Ben Irwin, who enters his redshirt sophomore season as the team’s tallest player, will be a blocking
factor in the front row for the Cardinals. Last year Irwin
totaled 10 kills and nine blocks in limited action.
“Ben is one of our most dominate middle attackers,”
Walton said. “His progress has been steady since joining our
program in 2006. We look for him to play an increasingly
2008 BALL STATE
2
important role this season.”
Libero Billy Ebel, who is training to take over for fifthyear senior Ian Peckler, was mainly a serving specialist for
the Cardinals last season, racking up five aces and 14 digs.
“We have seen great improvement in Billy’s passing and
defense this fall,” Walton said. “He will continue to be a
serving and defensive substitute for us and could push Ian
for some playing time as our starting libero, which is high
praise since Ian was an All-American last year.”
The Cardinals also have an array of talented freshman
who should contribute immediately. Redshirt freshman
Marcus Imwalle, as well as true freshmen James Emming,
Ted Garard, J.D. Gasparovic and Lee Meyer will all see
playing time.
Dominic Spadavecchio and Daniel Penrod are expected
to redshirt this season.
“Overall, I think we’ve got a good mix of returning
veterans and talented, young players,” Walton said. “They
have me excited about the season.”
The Cardinals open the 2008 season in sunny Honolulu
for the Outrigger Hotels Invitational. Ball State will play on
three consecutive days starting Jan. 3 against UCLA. BSU
will also face Hawaii and Penn State in the event.
Ball State opens a four-match home stand Jan. 18 versus
Penn State. After a four-match road swing which takes the
Cardinals coast-to-coast, BSU will host Ohio State Feb. 15 to
open a six-match home stand which ends with back-to-back
matches versus UCLA.
BSU hosts IPFW March 21 and ends the regular season
with matches at Ohio State (April 11) and Lewis (April 12).
The 2008 MIVA Tournament gets underway April 19, with the
championship match being played April 26. The 2008 NCAA
Championship dates are May 1 and 3.
“Overall, our schedule is really strong this year,” Walton
said. “We are playing tough competition within our conference
and we are playing a number of tough east and west coast
teams.
“With the challenges our schedule provides, and the
fact we are playing a number of tough matches early in the
year, we have had to step up our training this fall.
“The strength of our schedule will be great preparation
for our team’s most important matches in April and May.”

Joel Walton enters his 10th season as Ball State’s head
coach looking to guide the program to its 16th appearance
in the NCAA Tournament.
In his previous nine seasons, Walton has led the Cardinals to a 172-94 (.647) overall record. In MIVA action,
his teams boast an 89-43 (.674) mark. Overall, Walton has
guided the program to five 20-plus win seasons.
In 2002, Walton coached the Cardinals to MIVA regular
season and tournament titles, plus led the team to the
NCAA Tournament, where it lost to No. 1 Pepperdine in
the national semifinal match.
The 2001 MIVA Coach of the Year, Walton has had BSU
ranked in the final USA Today/AVCA Coaches Top-15 Poll
in eight of his previous nine seasons. The Cardinals have
been ranked in 112 of a possible 159 polls since Walton
took over as head coach, including 25 Top-10 rankings.
During the 2003 season, the Cardinals were ranked
sixth in two-straight polls, marking the highest ranking
under Walton, and the program’s best ranking since the
1995 final poll had the team fifth.
Along with the team accolades, Walton has coached
three All-Americans over the last nine seasons, including
2002 AVCA All-America First Team selection Paul Fasshauer.
Fasshauer earned the honor after posting an NCAA-best
.536 hitting percentage during the 2002 season.

The 2007 season also saw Walton coach freshman Jeff

honor. Walton has guided his athletes to All-MIVA honors
26 times, including 11 first team selections, 13 second

Academically, Nick Meyer was the latest player to earn
academic all-district accolades, when he was named to the
2006 CoSIDA Academic All-District V At-Large Team. BSU’s
players have also earned numerous academic all-conference
awards under Walton, with seven making the 2002 list.
A former four-year letterwinner for the Cardinals, Walton
became the third head coach in program history when he
accepted the position in June of 1998. Walton had spent
the previous eight seasons as an assistant coach under Don
Shondell and helped led Ball State to three MIVA Championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Walton’s primary responsibility during his eight seasons
on Shondell’s staff was recruiting coordinator. Over that
period, he signed student-athletes who received All-America
honors on eight occasions and All-MIVA recognition 13
times. Walton also had two recruits -- Eduardo Ferraz (1994)
and Doug Market (1998) -- named to the Asics/Volleyball
All-Freshman Team. In addition, two of his recruits - - Phil
Eatherton and Greg Romano - - played for the U.S. National
Team, with Eatherton still on the active roster.
BSU’s assistant job was not the first coaching stint for
Walton, who guided Munciana’s 13-and-under boys team
to second place at the 1986 Amateur Athletic Union Junior
Olympics. One year later, he led the squad to a first-place
finish. Walton also coached Muncie Burris High School’s
junior varsity girls team in 1986 and 1987. The 1987 team
went undefeated.
During his four-year playing career, Walton helped Ball
State to two league titles and a pair of NCAA Tournament
appearances. As a senior, he captained BSU and led the
Cardinals in digs (285), while ranking second in kills (426).
The dig total ranks seventh in school history, while the kill
total is 19th.
Walton held the BSU single-match record for digs until
the 2006 season, scoring 25 in a 3-1 victory at Ohio State
April 1, 1987. For his career, he ranks third on BSU’s lists
for digs-per-game average (2.20). He is eighth in digs (710),
11th in matches with double-figure digs (23), 11th in service
aces-per-game average (0.22), tied for 12th in matches with
double-figure kills (42) and 16th in kills (897). In all, his
name can be found in BSU’s record book in 27 of the 51
statistical categories.
In 1986, Walton was named the Indiana AAU Player of
the Year and was selected to compete in the U.S. Olympic
Festival for a second straight year. He helped the West
Team to third place.
Joel and his wife, the former Jennifer Wright, are the
parents of a daughter, Kaitlin (16), and a son, Bailey
(12).

Kevin Furnish, a former three-year letterwinner for the
Ball State University men’s volleyball team, is in his ninth
season as his alma mater’s assistant coach.
In his previous eight seasons, the Cardinals have compiled a 159-80 overall record, including an 81-37 mark in
MIVA action.
During the 2002 season, Furnish helped guide BSU to
MIVA regular season and tournament titles, plus helped
lead the team to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost to
No. 1 Pepperdine in the national semifinal match.
With Furnish’s assistance, BSU has been ranked in the
final USA Today/AVCA Coaches Top-15 Poll in seven of the
last eight seasons. Overall, the Cardinals have been ranked
in 108 of a possible 142 polls since Furnish joined the
staff, including 25 Top-10 rankings.
During the 2003 season, the Cardinals were ranked
sixth in two-straight polls, marking the program’s highest
ranking since the 1995 final poll had the team fifth.
Along with the team accolades, Furnish has helped guide
three Cardinals to All-America honors. Paul Fasshauer was
a 2002 AVCA All-America First Team selection, while Ian
Peckler earned All-America Second Team status on both the
AVCA and Volleyball Magazine list in 2007, plus Keith Schunzel
was a 2004 AVCA All-America Second Team honoree.
The 2007 season also saw Furnish help coach freshman
Jeff Schmitz to the program’s first MIVA Freshman of the
Year honor. Overall, BSU’s student-athletes have earned
All-MIVA honors 25 times since Furnish joined the staff,
including 11 first team selections, 12 second team honorees
and two third team choices.
Academically, Nick Meyer was the latest player to earn
academic all-district accolades, when he was named to the
2006 CoSIDA Academic All-District V At-Large Team. BSU’s
players have earned numerous academic all-conference awards
with Furnish’s guidance, with seven making the 2007 list.
Prior to returning to Ball State as an assistant, Furnish
spent four years as the head coach of the St. Joseph’s
(Ind.) College women’s volleyball team after spending the
1995 campaign as an assistant. From 1996-2000, he led
the Lady Pumas with the highlight of his four-year career
being the 1999 season.
In 1999, he guided the Lady Pumas to a 19-11 record
and the school’s second straight appearance in the Great
Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.
Furnish began his coaching career in 1990, when he
became the head coach of the girls varsity team at Shenandoah High School. He held that position until becoming
head coach of the boys club team at the school in 1994.
In addition to those positions, Furnish has gained coaching experience at the club and camp level. He began a
two-year stint on the staff of the Munciana Volleyball Club
in 1990 and later served as director of the Cool Volleyball
Club in 1993 and 1994.
Furnish coached with the Reebok Vision Volleyball Club
in 1995. He was also an instructor for the Ball State Volleyball Camps from 1989-91, the University of Wisconsin
Volleyball Camps in 1995 and 1996 and the Epicenter
Volleyball Camps in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1997.
As a collegiate student-athlete at Ball State, Furnish
led the nation and totaled the then-second-highest hitting
percentage in school history when he hit .430 during the
1989 season to help the Cardinals to an MIVA Championship
and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Tournament.
He earned the first of two straight All-MIVA First-Team
selections the following season after helping BSU
to a second straight league title and a third-place
showing in the national tourney. Furnish ranked
fifth nationally with a .383 hitting percentage and
placed second on the Cardinals with 153 total
blocks -- the then-fourth-highest single-season
total in school history.
Despite missing much of the 1991 season with
various ailments, Furnish was selected as BSU’s
Most Valuable Player after hitting a team-high
.339 with a squad-best 4.70 kills per game.
Furnish currently ranks seventh in team history
with a .378 hitting percentage. He ranks eighth
in solo blocks (114), 10th in career kills-per-game
average (3.19), 11th in matches with double-figure
kills (44), tied for 13th in matches with 20-or-more
kills (6), 20th in total blocks (314) and tied for
20th in career kills (839).
Furnish graduated from Ball State in 1993
with a bachelor of science degree in business
education.
He and his wife, Ramey, have two sons, Max
(8) and Jackson (3).

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL
THE MIVA
With an expressed intent of “promoting volleyball in
colleges and regulating by wise and prudent measures
the college volleyball competition in the area,” the
Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Conference was
formed in 1961. It was the first league of its kind
in the United States designed to organize collegiate
volleyball competition.
The conference, which later became the Midwestern
Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, sponsors champions at the NCAA and NAIA levels.
For the 2008 season, the NCAA portion of the league is comprised of seven schools
which make up the Shondell/Dunlap Division.
The Shondell/Dunlap Division is comprised of Ball State (1961), IPFW (1981), Lewis
(1994), Loyola (1996), Mercyhurst (1997), Ohio State (1961) and Quincy (1994).
The 2008 MIVA schedule for the Shondell/Dunlap Division includes 12 matches
in which all schools play each other twice, once at home and once on the road. The
winner of the regular season title will earn the No. 1 seed in the 2008 MIVA Tournament.
The rest of the seeds (2 to 7) will be determined by regular season record.
The winner of the 2008 MIVA Tournament will earn the league’s automatic bid into
the NCAA Tournament.
After the 2007 season, the four members of the Coleman Division left the league.
Carthage and the Milwaukee School of Engineering joined the Midwest-III Volleyball
Conference, while Clarke moved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
and Central State dropped its program.

ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION & COMMUNICATIONS
Director of Athletics
Tom Collins
Ball State University selected Tom Collins as its director
of intercollegiate athletics Jan. 9, 2006.
In his short tenure at Ball State, Collins has directed
the completion of the Scheumann Stadium renovation, put
in place a new five-year gender equity plan and served as
a significant member of the university’s senior staff.
“It’s clear my predecessors at Ball State and the
administration have staked out a commitment to the true
scholar-athlete model of intercollegiate athletics, which is
one aspect of this program I found tremendously appealing,”
Collins says. “Couple that with the university’s and the community’s commitment to providing the
student-athletes with outstanding facilities and a supportive atmosphere, and it becomes clear why
Ball State has a proud academic and athletic tradition — one I’m looking forward to continuing
and enhancing.”
Collins inherited a Ball State 19-sport intercollegiate athletics program with a rich tradition in
academic and athletic success. The tradition has continued under Collins guidance. The baseball
team won the 2006 MAC Tournament and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament
since 1969. The women’s soccer team won its first-ever MAC Regular-Season Championship, while
the women’s basketball team advance to the WNIT and hosted Kentucky in a first-round game.
Academically, Ball State had 17 of its 19 teams with scores above the national average in the
NCAA Division I Academic Progress Report, with the men’s tennis team scoring a perfect 1,000.
Ball State’s football team was second in the MAC with a 942 score, while the men’s basketball
team placed fourth among league schools with a 949. Ball State’s women’s basketball program
earned a score of 987 to place first among public schools in the state of Indiana and third in the
league.
Collins involvement in the MAC includes sitting on the league’s finance committee and serving
as the men’s golf coaches liasion to the MAC office.
Prior to taking the position at Ball State, Collins served the previous 20 years in several
capacities in the athletics department at Arizona State University, including the last five in the
department’s number two position as the senior associate athletic director.
Collins’ resume includes working for some of the most recognizable names in intercollegiate
athletics. While at Arizona State, he worked with athletic directors Dick Tamburo, Kevin White
(currently the A.D. at Notre Dame) and Gene Smith (currently the A.D. at Ohio State). Collins also
worked with athletic director Sam Jankovich, while at the University of Miami, and his colleagues
through the years include current A.D.’s Bill Moos (Oregon), Jim Livengood (Arizona), Herman
Frazier (Hawaii), Michael Alden (Missouri), Sandy Hatfield Clubb (Drake) and Vic Cegles (Long
Beach State).
During his tenure at Arizona State, he oversaw seven nationally ranked Division I-A programs,
helped direct a collegiate licensing program that generated annual revenues in excess of $450,000,
and created the department’s Addy Award-winning “Playing with Fire” marketing slogan.
Prior to being named to his senior associate A.D. position at Arizona State, Collins served as
the university’s associate athletic director, overseeing corporate and community affairs, and as
assistant athletic director. He also worked as assistant athletic director at the University of Miami
and as the ticket manager at Washington State.
