A
Little Bit of History
 The
Women's Volleyball Program has come a long way since
the head coach of the BRAHMAS, Nabil Mardini, took over
the helm. In 2001, his second season as the head coach,
he took his team to a new level of competitiveness by
going from LAST PLACE in the conference the previous
season to an amazing FIRST PLACE finish in the Western
State Conference and the program never looked back….
In
2002, his squad went undefeated (10-0) and won the conference
for the SECOND year in a row and finished with a record
of 15-3. This was the best finish in Pierce College
history since 1980.
In
2003, the program made history again by going 16-4 overall
and 9-1 in the conference and clinched the Western State
Conference Championship for the THIRD straight year.
They finished the season ranked 8th in the State of
California.
In
2004, the program reached another milestone by going
18-4 overall and 9-1 in the conference and clinched
the Western State Conference Championship for the FOURTH
straight year. The team made it to the Elite Eight Tournament
for the FIRST TIME in the program history. The team
finished the season ranked 5th in the State of California.
Once again, this is the best finish in Pierce College
history.
 In
2005, the Women's Volleyball Team finished with
a record of 23-4. The team was the only team from the
South to make it to the Elite Eight for the second year
in a row. The team won the Western State Conference
for the FIFTH straight year and finished ranked FOURTH
in the State of California.
In
2006, THE BRAHMAS FINISHED THE YEAR WITH AN IMPRESSIVE
RECORD OF 27-5 (9-1 IN CONFERENCE).
The Brahmas were the only
team from the South to make it to the Elite Eight for
the 3rd year in a row. They also
won the Western State Conference for the SIXTH
straight year and finished ranked SECOND in the State of
California. The 2006 squad had the MOST WINS of
any team in the State of California.
 Our
recent graduating sophomores, in the past
4 years, received scholarships to play at different universities
such as University of California Irvine, Concordia,
Northern Arizona, Cal. State LA, UC San Diego, Washington
State, Cal Poly Pomona, Fresno
State, and most recently Long Beach State, University of
Idaho, Florida State, San Jose State, Truman State, and
University of San Francisco. More importantly, in
the past SEVEN years
the team holds a record of 143
wins to 30 losses. That is more than
80%
winning percentage.
