The 2006 Bulldog volleyball program has the rare advantage of having experience and youth on their side. The team has the leadership of three seniors - Crystal Bessler, Kim Cooper and Samantha Parisi - while a bevy of freshmen and sophomores round out the roster. Sophomore setter Emily Hill has a year of experience under her belt and is ready to guide the team both on and off the court in 2006. After stepping into the set-ter’s role her knob year, she now has a better feel for the confer-ence as a whole and how to lead the team on the court. Rachel Sanders and Ashley Winter both made huge impacts as freshmen in 2005 and look to do the same as sophomores in 2006. Both Sanders and Win-ter etched their names into the record books last season and could continue their record-set-ting ways this season. Two knobs join the program this fall. Tiffany Edwards and Taylor Stanke have the opportu-nity to step into key roles in their first year of collegiate volleyball. First year head coach Caro-lyn Geiger brings a fresh and en-ergetic face to the program and brings along with her assistant coach Amir Khaledi, a former coach at Charleston Southern. Both Geiger and Khaledi have the experience and the knowl-edge to build a successful Divi-sion I volleyball program.

CaRolyn GeiGeRhead Coach l First season

unC asheville (1999)

Taking the reigns of the oldest women’s team sport at one of the most storied institutions in the country, Carolyn Geiger enters her first year as the head coach of The Citadel’s volleyball program in 2006. Geiger becomes the third coach in the program’s history. Geiger is no stranger to the volleyball program at The Military College of South Carolina, having served as the program’s official scorer for the past couple years.

Prior to first entering the majestic gates of The Citadel, Geiger served as an assistant coach at the College of Charleston, helping to build that program into a dominating power in the Southern Confer-ence.

In 2002, the Geiger-taught Cougars were champions of both the Southern Conference regular sea-son and post-season tournament and earned the school’s first bid to the NCAA Tournament in any women’s sport. The Cougars posted the nation’s third-longest winning streak that season with 22 consecutive victories that shattered the previous school and SoCon records.

The 2002 CofC squad also saw five members named All-Conference and three were named All-Tour-nament in the Southern Conference Tournament, including the tournament’s most valuable player.

Geiger also was a vital part of the 2001 College of Charleston team that won the first SoCon regular season championship in the school’s history and posted a then-record 20-match winning streak. The Cougars finished 2001 with a dominating 30-3 record, going 19-1 in SoCon play. Geiger helped coach that squad to a No. 6 national ranking in winning percentage that season (.909), as well as a No. 7 national ranking in digs per game (18.52) and No. 13 national ranking in hitting percentage (.287).

That 2001 Cougar squad recorded a team grade point average of 3.31, which resulted in their sec-ond AVCA/Molten Team Academic Award.

Geiger first came on the CofC scene as an assistant coach for the 2000 season, when the Cougars led the Southern Conference in hitting percentage (.209), kills per game (16.11) and assists per game (13.72). That team finished the year ranked fifth nationally in digs per game (20.18) and had 10 athletes earn Academic Honor Roll distinction with an overall team grade point average of 3.48 for the year.

Geiger joined the Cougar coaching staff after spending four years as a standout Division I volleyball player at UNC Asheville. A three-time member of the All-Big South Conference Team, Geiger still holds the school record for career service aces (198) and is second in the all-time charts in kills (1,761) and block assists (421).

Geiger broke into the record books early on, recording a school record 32 kills in a match her sopho-more year against Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC). She still holds the single match school re-cord for best attack percentage, swinging a powerful .520 (14 kills, 1 error, 25 total attempts) against Charleston Southern also during her sophomore year.

Geiger was named Most Outstanding Player in 1999 at UNCA and the Pennsylvania native was also named Most Valuable Player of the 1998 College of Charleston Invitational. She earned her bache-lor’s of science degree in environmental science from UNC Asheville in 1999. Geiger also served as assistant coach of the Biltmore Volleyball Club in 1995 and assisted with practices for the Biltmore Blaze Jr. Volleyball Club in 1999.

Geiger hails from Lancaster, Pa., where she was an All-State volleyball honoree at Hempfield High School.

Kelly Simpson enters her third year as the Senior Woman Administrator for The Citadel athletics department and her sixth on The Citadel campus. As the SWA, she oversees The Citadel’s seven women’s sports programs in the areas of game management, academic ad-vising and compliance. She also represents The Citadel at Southern Conference and NCAA Meetings. She is an active member of the SoCon Cross Country and Track and Field Com-mittee and the SoCon Graduate Scholarship Committee and also serves on various campus committees. Prior to coming to the athletics department, Simpson spent one year as an admissions counselor in The Citadel’s office of admissions. Before that, she spent a year and a half in the Department of Health Exercise and Sport Science where she served as Director of Intramurals and a facility manager for Deas Hall. The past five years, Simpson has also served as an ad-juct professor in the HESS Department. A native of Weaverville, N.C., Simpson graduated from North Buncombe High School in 1995 before attending Clemson University where she earned her bachelor’s degree in sport management in 1999.

While at Clemson, Simpson ran on the cross country and track teams and was a member of the Ti-gers’ 1999 ACC Championship Outdoor Track team. Simpson is married to The Citadel’s men’s head tennis coach, Toby Simpson.

Amir Khaledi enters his first year with The Citadel volleyball program this fall, joining the program under the direction of head coach Carolyn Geiger. Khaledi joins the program after helping direct the Charleston Southern program as both a head and assistant coach. Khaledi was named the head coach of Charleston Southern in 1986 and served in that capacity for nine years before handing the reigns over to former player Danyel Bellush. During his tenure as head coach, Khaledi directed Charleston Southern during the most successful run in the program’s history. Khaledi is the most successful coach in Charleston Southern volleyball history and has more than 200 victories to his credit. A three-time Big South Coach of the Year honoree, Khaledi was inducted into the Charleston Southern Hall of Fame in 2002. Khaledi led the Buccaneers to four Big South Champion-ships during his tenure. Khaledi is also a standout coach on the club level as well, having been involved with Charleston’s Junior Olympic volleyball program since 1997. He coached the Charleston elite team to three national championship tournament appearances and led the team to a seventh place finish at the AAU national tournament in 2001, the highest ranking ever achieved by a South Carolina team to date. Not just a success story on the sidelines, Khaledi was a three-year all-star collegiate player at Nor-wich (Vt.) University, garnering All-Conference and All-Region honors, before transferring to Charleston Southern. Khaledi earned his bachelor’s degree from Charleston Southern in 1984. Khaledi and his wife, Pam, have a five-year old son, Cyrus.

les Robinsonathletics director l seventh season

north Carolina state (1965) At a school where leadership is taught and duty is part of the curriculum, The Citadel has the right person to lead its Depart-ment of Athletics in Les Robinson. A virtual Who’s Who in intercollegiate athletics and one of the region’s most sought-after speak-ers, Robinson is in his seventh year as the Bulldogs’ Director of Athletics. Possessing more than four decades of college athletic experience to his credit, Robinson, who also served as athletics direc-tor and basketball coach at North Carolina State and East Tennessee State, is only the fifth athletics director in Citadel history. He served as the Bulldogs’ basketball coach from 1974-85, having spent the five previous seasons as an assistant coach. During the past four years, the school witnessed the opening of the Altman Athletic Center at Johnson Hagood Stadium and the addition to McAlister Field House for women’s athletics. He hired the school’s first senior woman administrator, taken mea-sures to totally revamp the department’s weight room, and is personally spearheading the football stadium project. The Citadel, under Robinson’s guidance, has hosted the Southern Conference cross-country championships, the first two rounds of the women’s basketball championships, the men and women’s tennis championships and the baseball tournament. A 1965 graduate of N.C. State, Robinson served five years as a Bulldog assistant coach under Dick Campbell and George Hill, and eventually spent 11 seasons as The Citadel’s head basketball coach from 1974-85. He directed the 1978-79 and 1984-85 teams to 20 and 18 victories, respectively. Robinson was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year in 1979 and was tabbed South Carolina’s Coach of the Year in 1979 and 1985. The West Virginia native remains the only coach in Southern Conference men’s basketball history to earn league coach of the year honors at two different schools, and he ranks fifth on the conference’s list of basketball wins. Robinson returned to Raleigh and his alma mater prior to the 1990-91 basketball campaign to coach the Wolfpack and re-placed Jim Valvano. Robinson promptly guided N.C. State to a 20-11 record and NCAA Tournament appearance while earning the NABC’s District Coach of the Year honor in his first season atop the Wolfpack program. His teams also enjoyed commendable academic success during the decade while graduation rates and grade point averages increased and the academic qualifications of incoming freshmen improved. He also posted the best career winning percentage against North Carolina of any ACC coach during his tenure. As athletic director at N.C. State from 1996-2000, Robinson oversaw a department with an operating budget of $25 million and sent 11 teams to postseason play. During his final year, the department witnessed a $1.1 million surplus. Robinson earned a bachelor of science degree in education and recreation from N.C. State in 1965. The Robinson’s, who have maintained a home on Sullivan’s Island since coaching at The Citadel, have four children: Greg, Robby, Kelly and Bar-bara; and eight grandchildren: L.G. Robinson, Savannah Graves, Lily Graves, James Graham Boyd, Hugh Bissell Graves, Mary Emma Graves, Charles Simon Boyd and Samuel Robinson Boyd.

The Citadel President Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa was born in Springfield, Ill., Sept. 28, 1951. After graduating high school in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1969, he was recruited to play football at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. While at The Citadel, Rosa was the starting Bulldog quarterback in 1970 and went on to earn three varsity letters in football. He graduated from The Citadel in 1973 with a degree in business administration and was awarded a commission in the Air Force. A command fighter pilot with more than 3,600 flying hours, Rosa enjoyed an illustrious 32-year career in the Air Force. Among his career highlights, he was stationed in Lossiemouth, Scotland, as an American exchange officer flying the Jaguar for the Royal Air Force. He has commanded at squadron, group and wing levels at air bases in South Korea, Idaho, South Carolina, New Mexico and Georgia. He served as inspector general for Pacific Air Forces at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii and commandant of The Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. As deputy director for operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., he was in charge of the National Military Command Center and served as the military spokesman for the Pentagon when U.S. troops were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq in 2002. In July 2003, he was named superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., and in September of that year, he was promoted to lieutenant general. Rosa holds a master’s degree in public administration from Golden Gate University. He is a graduate of the Air Force Com-mand and Staff College, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and the U.S. Army War College. He has also studied at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His awards include the Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, the Meritorious Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal and the Combat Readiness Medal with two oak leaf clusters. He has flown the A-7, A-10, Hunter and Jaguar aircraft, F-16, F-117A, HH-60G and HC-130. On Jan. 3, 2006, Rosa returned to The Citadel where he serves as 19th president. He is married to Donna Kangeter, a Charleston native. They have two sons, Jonathan and Brad (‘03), and a grandson, Michael Bradley, who is the son of Jonathan and his wife, Elisha.

southern Conference Quick Facts

2006-2007The Citadel Celebrates 70 years of southern Conference Tradition

as the conference’s oldest member

The Southern Conference, which enters its 85th season of in-tercollegiate competition in 2005, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Divi-sion I-AA football conference since earning that classification in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Di-vision I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college bas-ketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Golf legend Arnold Palmer won the 1949 and 1950 NCAA In-dividual medal as a member of the Southern Conference. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and dis-trict teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, SC. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spa-cious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

�4 The Citadel

Page 27: 2006 Volleyball Media Guide

The CitadelThe Citadel, The military College of South Carolina, is a unique public institution with the mission of educating principled lead-ers through its Corps of Cadets and Col-lege of Graduate and Professional Studies program.

located in historic Charleston, S.C., The Citadel offers undergraduate and gradu-ate degrees in the humanities, business, math, science, engineering and education. The Citadel’s reputation for academic ex-cellence is reinforced by annual rankings from U.S.News&WorldReport that place The Citadel as number two in public col-leges granting master’s degrees in the South. The engineering school is nation-ally ranked at number 27.

With an enrollment of more than 1,900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest military college program outside the ser-vice academies. All cadets are educated within a classic military system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates attend graduate school or enter the job market.

The College of Graduate and Professional Studies, which is noted for Citadel excel-lence in a civilian environment, serves about 1,200 residents of South Carolina’s lowcountry.
