Volleyball Team<br />
Express Website<br />
Since joining <strong>Owens</strong> <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> in late 2011, Athletic Director<br />
Rudy Yovich has made a point not just to<br />
maintain the <strong>Owens</strong> Express tradition<br />
of athletic excellence, but to build on it.<br />
This pursuit of excellence led Yovich<br />
and his staff to design and develop a<br />
new Express athletics website - www.<br />
owensexpress.com. The website<br />
features game scores, video highlights,<br />
up-to-date season statistics, an athletic<br />
apparel store, links to <strong>Owens</strong> Express<br />
social media sites and more. The<br />
website is a collaborative effort between<br />
<strong>Owens</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> and Presto<br />
Sports of Rockville, Md.<br />
“<strong>Owens</strong> has a great story to tell and this<br />
is just another way to communicate that<br />
message. The new website featuring<br />
real-time information has provided<br />
much more exposure for the <strong>Owens</strong><br />
Express, with more than one million hits<br />
in October 2012 alone,” said Yovich.<br />
Among the many achievements of the<br />
<strong>Owens</strong> Express in 2012, the Women’s<br />
Volleyball team’s exceptional fall<br />
season must be considered a highlight.<br />
The team finished with a sparkling<br />
record of 37-11 overall, capturing its<br />
12th Ohio <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />
Conference (OCCAC) regular season<br />
championship in the last 13 years.<br />
Coach Sonny Lewis’ squad finished 12-0<br />
in OCCAC regular season standings<br />
and was ranked No. 17 in the NJCAA<br />
Division II national volleyball regular<br />
season poll.<br />
Moving on to the post-season, <strong>Owens</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> hosted the NJCAA Division<br />
II National Championship tournament, during<br />
which the Express finished fourth among sixteen<br />
teams, their best Division II result ever. The<br />
team’s extraordinary year was highlighted at<br />
the December 2012 <strong>Owens</strong> Board of Trustees<br />
meeting, at which the team was recognized for<br />
exhibiting leadership, teamwork and excellence<br />
during their outstanding 2012 season.<br />
“Our student-athletes would not be able to<br />
realize their full potential, both in competition<br />
and in the classroom, if not for the support of<br />
our Board of Trustees and our outstanding<br />
administration. For that, we are truly grateful,”<br />
said Yovich.<br />
