Lady Rebels hope to bounce back from 11-win season
It’s never easy attempting to replace a player of Regina Thomas’ caliber and actually see improved results, but that’s exactly what the Ole Miss volleyball team will attempt to do in 2012. (more…) (August 9, 2012, Page 2B)

Getzin looking for more this season
Tournament berth No. 4 won’t be enough for the Ole Miss volleyball this season.
Coming off of three one-and-done appearances in the NCAA Tournament in the last five years (North Carolina defeated Ole Miss last year 3-1 in Berkeley, Calif.), the Lady Rebels have grander goals for the upcoming season. (August 12, 2011, Page 6A)
Ole Miss women return to NCAA Tournament
The Ole Miss women’s volleyball team will be making its third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history — and third in the past five seasons — when Ole Miss takes on North Carolina in the first round at California-Berkley.
The first-round matchup will take place on Friday. The winner of the match will face the winner of Cal-Berkley and Utah State in the second round on Saturday. North Carolina enters with a 24-9 overall mark and a 15-5 mark in the ACC. (November 29, 2010, Page 4B)
Tennessee tops Lady Rebels to end regular season
Inconsistency and unforced errors ended up being the difference on Sunday in the Ole Miss volleyball team’s 3-1 (15-25, 25-13, 20-25, 20-25) loss to No. 21 Tennessee at the Gillom Sports Complex.
After being tied through two sets, the Lady Vols strung together two-straight sets to claim the match. (November 22, 2010, Page 5B)
No transition season needed by Lady Rebels
The 2010 season was supposed to be a year of transition for Ole Miss women’s volleyball team.
That sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth, and it was blatantly evident on Sunday when Ole Miss dismantled Georgia 3-0 (25-13, 25-14, 25-19) at the Gillom Sports Complex.
Transitioning from a 10-20 overall record a year ago had the potential to make this season a long and difficult one.
That hasn’t been the case, however, as the Lady Rebels have already secured an improved Southeastern Conference record (6-2) and are looking to finish in the top half of the SEC for the first time since the 2007 season. (October 11, 2010, Page 4B)
Lady Rebels take Magnolia Invitational
After going to five sets against both Southern Miss and Louisiana-Lafayette, the Ole Miss Lady Rebels made quick work of the Samford Lady Bulldogs on Saturday night, claiming their fourth consecutive Magnolia Invitational with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-20) victory.
Head coach Joe Getzin said the key to the match was the team’s ability to clean up its play on its own side of the court.
In the three sets against Samford, Ole Miss had just 14 attack errors, compared to Samford’s 24. (September 13, 2010, Page 5B)
