release
Monastiere was the Midwest Region winner of the AVCA's Grant
Burger Media Award. Only eight such sports information directors
throughout all of Division II received this award. Monastiere
previously won this award following the 2007-08 athletic school
year.
The AVCA Grant Burger Media Award is an honor intended to
recognize members of the media who have been involved in the
advancement of the sport of volleyball, whether it be through
consistent coverage in all mediums (sports information, print,
broadcasting and web content), production of volleyball-specific
publications or extensive radio and/or television exposure. It is
named in honor of Grant Burger, former Director of Sports
Information and Associate Director of the AVCA (1988-92), whose
hard work, innovative mind, knowledge and enthusiasm took the areas
of media relations and publications at the AVCA to a higher level
and increased awareness of the sport of volleyball nationwide.
Monastiere has just completed his seventh year at Hillsdale
College, filling the role of SID before his job title was changed
to assistant AD in July 2011.
On the court, the Chargers enjoyed their finest season in program
history in 2011, going 31-3 while capturing the GLIAC and Midwest
Regional championships. Hillsdale advanced to the NCAA Division II
Final Four in California back in December.
