St. Paul’s notified West Virginia Wesleyan that the helmets and pads the school had ordered for the season had not arrived. The game will not be rescheduled and St. Paul’s will be responsible for the cancelation fee spelled out in the contract. A West Virginia Wesleyan official said, “In my nearly 20 years of work in collegiate athletics, I have never experienced anything like this. We are extremely disappointed for our student-athletes and coaches who have been working so hard in anticipation of this game. I know our coaches and players will make the best of this difficult situation and turn their attention to our ‘new’ opener Sept. 5…” …..Three Division II conferences have announced agreements that give more exposure to their schools. The Great Northwest Athletic Conference has signed with Penn Atlantic Inc. to videostream conference events in 2009-10.

Selected other contests including men’s and women’s soccer games and home football games at Central Washington and Western Oregon will be streamed.

Rolf, right, returned to campus for the Javelina opening football game. Center is Elaine Rolf. Gilbert and Rolf played for the Javelinas in the mid-1960s. LSC Volleyball Prospectus Series (Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of articles on the Lone Star Conference volleyball teams. The articles were written by Nick Eatman of the LSC office). Texas A&M-Commerce Second-year coach Mark Pryor helped turn things around last season for the Lions, who finished with a winning record (15-12) and advanced to the postseason tournament for the first time since 2002. And Pryor did so with a shorthanded group, finishing the year with just seven players. But the Lions will welcome the return to three second-team All-LSC performers, including senior libero Lauren Flynn, one of the best at her position in the conference. Flynn, the LSC co-libero of the year in 2008, led the conference in digs with 5.79 average. Junior setter Perla Faudoa carried over her success from the junior college level to a solid first year at Commerce. Another second-team all-conference pick, Faudoa ranked fourth in the LSC, averaging 9.58 assists a game. Junior middle blocker Morgan Ballard ranked second in the conference with a .327 hitting percentage. The Lions were 8-3 in the 11 games in which Ballard had at least 10 kills. Other Lions expected to contribute this year include junior middle blocker Terra Ousley and junior setter Rachael Shelton. West Texas A&M Despite having a new head coach, the Lady Buffs have no intentions of changing anything else in regards to WTAM’s recent dominance in the Lone Star Conference. Jason Skoch takes over a team that not only hasn’t lost a conference match since 2005, but has won three straight championship tournaments as well. If that’s not enough, the Lady Buffs return three NCAA All-America candidates, including senior Laura Prinsen, the LSC’s offensive player of the year. Prinsen led the league with 506 kills last year. Senior Katie Rickwartz, the LSC’s setter of the year and MVP in the championship tournament, returns after leading the conference in assists with 1,386. And senior middle blocker Melissa Harper was a first-team All-LSC selection and a South Central all-region pick. Harper led the LSC with a .333 hitting percentage and was fifth in kills with 354. Prinsen, Rickwartz and Harper have plenty of experience, having played in two consecutive NCAA national semifinal matches in 2006 and 2007 before last year’s exit in the regional semifinals. “It’s always great to inherit a team like this in your first year,” said Skoch, who had a 137-22 record at Truman (Mo.) State before arriving in Canyon. “It’s a lot better to come and know that these girls understand what championship ball is all about.” Other key returners for the Lady Buffs include senior middle blocker Ashley Dyer, junior outside hitter Lauren Thedford and senior outside hitter Natalie Johnson.
