The UNC Asheville women’s basketball program showed improvement last year and the Bulldogs are looking to build on that foundation this season.

And they’ll try to achieve that improvement in a new arena. Asheville basketball will now play its home games in the state-of-the-art Kimmel Arena this year. The 3,200-seat facility is a big upgrade for the Bulldog program. Asheville coach Betsy Blose is looking for-ward to playing home games in Kimmel.

“Playing our games in our new arena has every-one excited,” declared Blose. “We want to establish some new traditions playing at Kimmel. There’s a real sense of pride in our program right now, and we’re anxious to play some games here.”

Last season, the Bulldogs were coming off an 8-22 campaign and not much was expected from Asheville going into the 2010-11 season. Blose’s club surprised a lot of people with a 12-win season and sixth-place fi nish in Big South Conference play. The Bulldogs were road warriors last season with seven wins, while going 4-4 in BSC road games. However, Asheville struggled at home with a 1-7 mark.

“We want to build on what we accomplished last year,” Blose admitted. “Our team made strides and showed a lot of improvement from where we were the previous year.

“However, we’re not where we want to be,” added Blose. “We know we can score, but we’ve got to improve on our defense. We’re going back to basics to get our defense better.”

Blose likes what she sees so far from the 2011-12 Bulldog team.

“We’re in a lot better shape at this time of the year than we’ve been in the past,” explained Blose. “First and foremost, all 13 of our players are healthy. We’re not rehabbing or hoping to get someone ready by the fi rst week of the season. All of our players are working hard in the preseason and are healthy.

“The chemistry of this team has just been great so far,” Blose said. “Hopefully, we can keep it that way, but everyone has bought into what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. We’re all on the same page.”

The Bulldogs do have some holes to fi ll. Asheville graduated two starters who were both 1,000-point career scorers in guard Kendall Shepard and forward Lindsey Montgomery.

Lindsey Thompson

“We have some scoring and rebounding to re-place and that won’t be easy,” said Blose. “But I really like the newcomers we’ve brought into the program. They’re really working well with the veterans and ev-eryone is determined to get better each day. “This team’s work ethic is quite good,” added Blose. “They are a very determined team.”

GUARDS

Lindsey Thompson is the Bulldogs’ only senior on this year’s roster. She enjoyed a solid junior cam-paign and fi nished the year with a 10.8 scoring average, while leading the team in three-pointers made with 62.

“Lindsey is our only senior, and we’re looking for her to have a big year,” stated Blose. “She’s one of the best three-point shooters in the conference and is a threat to score from anywhere. Lindsey has worked hard on her mid-range game and defense.”

Junior Grace Blaylock continues to show im-provement with each season. Blaylock has incredible shooting range and knocked down 59 treys a year ago as she averaged 7.2 points per game.

Kelli Riles

“If you think Grace had range her fi rst two years, wait until you see her this season,” commented Blose. “She’s one of our best defenders and a real lead-er on the team, as well. Grace has worked to get bet-ter with her mid-range game. She doesn’t want to be just a three-point shooter but wants to score in other ways, as well.”

Junior Breaira Barksdale made signifi cant im-provement from her freshman to sophomore season. She earned a starting spot 21 times as she averaged 6.7 points per game. Barkdale was second on the club in assists with 102 and led in steals with 50.

“Breaira improved a lot last season and we ex-pect that to continue this year,” explained Blose. “She’s very talented and earned a great deal of experience a year ago. We need her to run the team and make good decisions on offense.”

Tacey Trammell is a freshman from Robbinsville, N.C. The 5-2 guard enjoyed an excellent prep career for Robbinsville High School. She committed to the Bulldog program early, and Blose is glad to have her.

“Tacey has the heart of a champion. She is the most conditioned player I’ve ever coached,” declared Blose. “She’s small but plays big. Tacey will do a great job of getting people the basketball as she’s player who thinks pass fi rst. She’s also an excellent defensive player. Our fans are really going to enjoy watching her play.”

Another local product is Shonese Jones from Brevard. The freshman guard is also 5-2 like Trammell but enjoyed a spectacular prep career for the Blue Devil program as she scored more than 2,000 points.

“We like local players and are delighted to have Shonese as a part of our program,” stated Blose. “She can fl at-out score. Shonese can score from anywhere on the court, including making three-pointers. We be-lieve she has the potential to be a great defender.”

Brittany Gwyn will join the Asheville program from High Point Central. The prep program is one of the best in the state. Gwyn is a 5-7 athlete who could help the Bulldog program right away.

“We’re delighted to get another player from a great high school program like High Point Central,” said Blose. “I project Brittany to be one of our best defenders. She’s very seasoned and court-savvy. Brit-tany has a lot going for her, and she’ll make a real con-tribution this season.”

FORWARDS

Asheville will be led in the front court this sea-son by 6-1 junior Kelli Riles. Riles really came into her own last season as she led the Bulldogs in rebounding and was second in the Big South with a 10.3 average. She was third in scoring (11.1) and led Asheville in fi eld goal percentage at .555.

“Kelli really did a great job for us in the post last season, and hopefully we’ll get even more from her this year,” stated Blose. “She’s our go-to player inside, and I think she likes that responsibility. Kelli is strong and runs the fl oor quite well. We need her to fi nish shots a little better this year and to stay healthy.”

6-1 sophomore Blake Cokes earned some play-ing time last season and showed some promise.

“We really like the way Blake improved over the year. She has a strong body and is not afraid to mix things up inside,” commented Blose. “We need her to be a little more polished on offense but we really like her toughness. She’ll create some problems for oppo-

LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK

nents this season.”

Junior Gentry Manley walked on to the Bulldogs last year and impressed everyone with her hustle and desire. Manley played in 12 games a year ago, but that fi gure could go up this season.

“Gentry is a player who is going to fi nd a way to play. She plays hard all the time and fi ts into what we’re doing,” explained Blose. “Gentry brings us some toughness and somehow you’ll see her on the fl oor this season.”

Freshman Jeannie Buckner is home-school prod-uct from Johns Island, S.C. She committed to the Bulldog program last year, and Blose believes the 6-0 rookie can be a factor right off the bat.

“Jeannie is the most prepared player I’ve ever coached,” explained Blose. “She’s physically ready to play. Jeannie will have to adjust to the college game a little bit but we’re excited to have her. She can shoot the three and can give us some size on the perim-eter.”

Leah Wormack is a 6-1 freshman forward from Cumberland, Md. She played at Allegany High School and enjoyed a top prep career.

“Leah played at a great high school program in Maryland,” stated Blose. “She is long and athletic. Leah will be a big target inside and she can run the fl oor quite well.”

CENTERS

6-3 junior Katie Wise is fi nally healthy for the Bulldogs. Wise has been plagued by knee injuries dur-ing her career. She seems to be in good shape and that will be a big help for Asheville this year.

“Katie has battled injuries but appears to be healthy,” said Blose. “What we like about Katie is that she’s a good post passer and understands what we want to do on defense. She can shoot the three-point-er, as well. We just need her to stay healthy.”

Sophomore Abra Sickles learned a lot as a fresh-man. Blose looks for more from the 6-4 center this season.

“Abra is getting better and better,” commented Blose. “She can defend and rebound. We need her to keep improving and she’ll be a real force for us in-side.”

Katie Wise

BIG SOUTH

Blose looks for Big South Conference kingpin Liberty to be the favorite this season. The Lady Flames captured the league regular-season crown before being upset by Gardner-Webb in the championship game.

“Liberty returns a lot of key players, and I look for them to be the team to beat this season,” explained Blose.“I believe the rest of the league is a lot like us. We’ve all graduated some key starters from last year and are expecting freshmen to make an impact right away,” stated Blose.

“We have some new coaches in the league, which will make things exciting. It should be a fun year, and I’m looking forward to the season.”

She guided the Bulldogs to 12 victories and a sixth-place fi nish in the Big South Conference after being picked to fi nish in eighth place. Blose coached two players, who scored their 1,000th career points in Kendall Shepard and Lindsey Mont-gomery.

In the 2008-09 season, the Bulldogs struggled through a 10-20 record as Asheville was hit hard with the injury bug. However, her team still managed to earn a win over Southern Conference champion Western Carolina and produced seven Big South Con-ference wins, just a game out of third place.

In the 2007-08 season, she watched a young team battle through an injury-riddled season. The Bulldogs fi nished with seven healthy players but still managed to take second-seeded Radford into double overtime in the Big South Tournament.

The 2006-07 season was a special season as Asheville won its fi rst ever Big South Women’s Basketball Championship.. The Dogs ran off six-straight victories, including the fi rst victory at Liberty since the 1989-90 season. Asheville also picked up its fi rst victory over an ACC school with a 58-53 win at Wake Forest. Asheville not only set a school record for wins but also set records for most points, most free throws made and attempted, most three-pointers made and attempted, and most blocked shots in a sea-son.

The Bulldogs fi nished 2005-06 with a 15-13 overall record, marking the third straight winning season. It is the fi rst time that’s been accomplished at UNC Asheville in more than 20 years.

In the 2004-05 season, the Bulldogs reached the Big South Conference championship game for just the second time in school history before falling to eventual “Sweet 16” participant Liberty. UNC Asheville fi nished with an 18-12 overall record and third place fi nish in the league with an 8-6 mark. The 18 wins was the second highest since the school went Division I.

The 2003-04 season was one of the best stories in college basketball. UNC Asheville fi nished with a 19-9 overall record and posted an amazing 16-game improvement over the previous sea-son’s 3-25 mark. The Bulldogs were the most improved team in the nation and their turnaround was the third best in Division I history. In addition, Asheville fi nished in second place in the Big

South Conference with a 9-5 mark; easily the best fi nish ever for the Bulldogs and the nine league wins also set a school record. Not bad for a club picked to fi nish in last place in Big South Pre-season Polls.

Blose has preached defense and rebounding everywhere she has coached and that dedication became evident during the 2003-04 season as the Bulldogs fi nished number one in the Big South and ranked seventh nationally in points allowed on defense as their stingy defense allowed opponents to score just 54.8 points per game. The Bulldogs were second in the Big South in rebound-ing margin grabbing 4.8 more rebounds than their opponents.

Prior to coming to Asheville, Blose did an outstanding job at Shepherd University, located in Shepherdstown, W.Va. where she inherited a program in the fall of 1995 that hadn’t had a winning season in eight years. It took her just three seasons to post a win-ning record as the Rams compiled a 93-48 (.660) overall record in her fi nal fi ve seasons. She had a career record of 114-77 at Shepherd in seven seasons. The James Madison graduate led the Rams to the school’s fi rst-ever West Virginia Intercollegiate Ath-letic Conference title during the 1998-99 season. In the 2000-01 season, she guided the Rams to a school record 20-7 mark as her team led the league in scoring defense (58.7 ppg) and in rebound margin (+8.6). She earned her 100th career coaching victory on December 28, 2001 and her team won the Sam Marchio Team Sportsmanship award three times during her tenure. The Har-risonburg, Va. native was inducted into the Shepherd Hall of Fame in 2006.

Blose began her college coaching career at her alma mater, James Madison University in 1987 where she served as an assis-tant coach with the Dukes program for eight seasons. She helped lead the school to three trips to the NCAA tournament and three Colonial Conference championships. Blose was on the staff in 1988 and 1991 when James Madison advanced to the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA tournament

Blose coached at Altavista (Va.) High School in 1984 and led the school to an amazing 69-5 record in three seasons. Blose led Altavista to Seminole District Championships for three straight years and was the District Coach of the Year twice. In 1987, she was named as a Virginia High School League All-Star coach.

This past summer, Blose was one of 28 coaches to take part in the Center for Coaching Excellence that was held at Columbia University. Later in the summer, she was allowed to take part in a mock bracketing seminar hosted by the NCAA in Indianapolis.

Blose earned two awards in 2005 as she was honored by the YWCA as a TWIN honoree for her leadership in the Asheville community. She was also honored by her Alma Mater, James Madison, as the Outstanding Alumni from the Kinesiology De-partment.

A 1984 graduate of James Madison, Blose was a four-year let-terwinner in women’s basketball from 1980 to 1984. She was the program’s team captain during her junior and senior seasons. Blose graduated magna cum laude in 1984 and was awarded the Johnston Senior Award for Excellence in Kinesiology.

Game OneUNC Asheville 78, Montreat 65 Justice Center - Asheville, N.C.

Bulldogs Open Season With Victory Over Montreat

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Guards Kendall Shepard, Lindsey Thompson and Breaira Barksdale each tallied career highs in points while forward Kelli Riles pulled down a career-best 14 rebounds as the Bulldogs defeated Montreat College 78-65 in the season opener for UNC Asheville at the Justice Center on Saturday afternoon.

“It’s a good win at home,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “We would build a couple of good leads but Montreat wouldn’t go away. We had some breakdowns defensively but overall we weathered the storm and that’s what young teams have to do.”

Shepard posted 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting while converting 7-of-11 free throws. Thompson converted 9-of-15 fi eld goal attempts including 3-of-5 from behind the 3-point arc to earn a career-best 21 points while Barksdale scored 13 to add to the Bulldogs’ total.

The Cavaliers were led on offense by Chaecie Bullock who scored 20 points, con-verting fi ve 3-pointers in the process. Kaitlyn Clontz scored 16 while Alicia Wallace pulled down a team-high eight rebounds. Myhkiea Russell led all players with seven assists and Bullock chipped in three steals on defense.

Shepard recorded four assists for the Blue & White with Thompson and Grace Blay-lock posting three assists each.

Asheville took an early advantage in the fi rst half and pushed its lead out as much as 18 points before fi nally taking a 39-28 lead into halftime. The Cavaliers did a better job of staying with the Bulldogs in the second half and cut the lead to eight points at 71-63 with 2:58 remaining in the game.

However, Asheville was able to keep Montreat at arm’s length the rest of the way to earn the 78-65 victory, holding the Cavaliers to only two points over the fi nal three minutes.

Game TwoWestern Carolina 78, UNC Asheville 59

Justice Center - Asheville, N.C.

Women’s Basketball Falls to Western Carolina

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Emily Clarke came off the bench to score 22 points to lead Western Carolina to a 78-59 win over homestanding UNC Asheville Wednesday night at Justice Center.

The Bulldogs (1-1) were led by a trio of players in double fi gures. Kendall Shepard led the home teams with 17 points. Lindsey Thompson added 12 points, while Kelli Riles produced a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Grace Blaylock knocked down three long 3-pointers to fi nish with nine points.

The Lady Catamounts (1-2) had Caitlin Hollifi eld with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Rena Wakama had 12 points. Kendra Carroll contributed 11 points. Clarke went 5-of-6 from beyond the arc on the evening.

“We just couldn’t put it all together tonight at the right time,” explained Asheville coach Betsy Blose. “We would get stops and then we’d turn it over. We made some good runs to get back in the game but then to Western Carolina’s credit they would get a big bucket to stop our momentum.”

“We fought hard and competed and we’re getting better,” added Blose. “But we just weren’t good enough tonight to beat a good team like Western Carolina.”

Wisconsin native Dana Wagner scored seven points and pulled down four rebounds in front of family and friends who made the trip from her hometown of Sun Prairie. It was her fi rst game in her home state since coming to Asheville.

Asheville was out-rebounded 42-34 by the Golden Eagles while also committing 25 turnovers on offense. Marquette picked up 15 steals in the contest.

Riles’ Layup Lifts Bulldogs Over Mercer, 76-73

MACON, Ga. – Sophomore forward Kelli Riles scored 22 points including the go-ahead layup with 27 seconds left in the game to help lead the UNC Asheville wom-en’s basketball team past Mercer on Wednesday afternoon, as the Bulldogs earned a 76-73 victory over the home-standing Bears.

“A year ago we wouldn’t have won this game,” said head coach Betsy Blose. “We showed a lot of toughness and tenacity in the second half and we were able to come out with a big win on the road.”

The Bulldogs (6-4) also got 20 points off the bench from Lindsey Montgomery and another 18 from Grace Blaylock. The 22 points by Riles tied a career-high and Blaylock’s 18 set a new career-high. Mercer’s Kendra Grant scored a team-high 18 points as the Bears fell to 1-9 on the year.

Asheville struggled early in the fi rst half, turning the ball over nine times in the fi rst half including six in the fi rst 10 minutes of the game. The Bears led by as much as 12 in the fi rst half before taking a 37-29 lead into halftime.

In the second half the Bulldogs came out fi ring, closing the gap to 42-40 on a 3-pointer by Blaylock. Mercer was able to extend its lead to as much as nine points three times over the fi nal 10 minutes before the Bulldogs were able to claw their way back into the game.

Another trey by Blaylock at the 3:46 mark pulled Asheville within a point of the Bears at 67-66 before Montgomery gave the Bulldogs their fi rst lead just 30 seconds later when she hit a layup in the paint. The two teams traded the lead back and forth over the fi nal three minutes before Mercer went up 73-72 on a Briana Williams layup with 37 seconds to go.

Riles would get the ball on the low post and hit the go-ahead layup with 27 seconds left in the game off of a pass from Montgomery. On the next possession by Mercer Breaira Barksdale forced a Bears turnover with 16 seconds left to give the Bulldogs possession. Mercer was forced to foul and Lindsey Thompson converted two free throws to push Asheville’s lead to 76-73.

Williams attempted a desperation three that went for naught and UNC Asheville would pick up its sixth win of the season.

Riles pulled down a game-high nine rebounds and Barksdale dished out a season-high seven assists. She also recorded a game-high four steals. Asheville is now 3-0 against members of the Atlantic Sun Conference this season, having defeated Campbell and USC Upstate earlier this season. The Bulldogs are also now 2-2 on the road.

Thompson’s Double-Double Leads Asheville Past Eagles

DURHAM,N.C. – Four Bulldogs scored in double fi gures with junior guard Lindsey Thompson scoring a game-high 21 points as the UNC Asheville women’s basketball team earned a 67-56 victory over North Carolina Central on Wednesday evening at McDougald-McLendon Gym on the campus of the Lady Eagles.

“We’re still learning how to win on the road and this was a good victory for us,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “We let them get back into the game after build-ing a big lead so we’ve got to learn how to put teams away.”

Lindsey Montgomery and Kendall Shepard each scored 15 for the Blue & White with Kelli Riles chipping in 12 to the Bulldogs’ total. Thompson also led the team in rebounds with 10, giving the Copper Hill, Va. native her fi rst career double-double. It was also Thompson’s fi fth 20-point game of the season.

The Bulldogs improve to 7-4 on the season with the win and are now 3-2 on the road.

NC Central got a team-high 19 points from Jori Nwachukwu who also posted a team-high 10 rebounds. Chasidy Williams scored 12 for the Lady Eagles who fall to 2-10 this season.

For the second consecutive game, Asheville’s Riles fi nished one rebound short of her sixth double-double of the season as the sophomore secured nine boards for the Bulldogs, including eight in the fi rst half.

The fi rst half saw the two teams struggle early before each offense was able to settle down. The Bulldogs took a 40-29 lead into halftime against NCCU on the strength of 16 fi rst half points by Thompson. Thompson connected on four 3-pointers and combined with Montgomery (13 points) for 29 of Asheville’s fi rst half points.

The Lady Eagles were able to contain Montgomery and Thompson in second half as the two combined to score only seven points. In contrast Shepard scored 12 of her 15 points in the second period in helping lead the Bulldogs to the 11-point win.

“Fortunately for us there’s not one player you can key on,” added Blose. “If it’s not Lindsey Thompson then it’s Kendall (Shepard) or somebody else stepping up. It shows how much balance we have this year.”

Asheville is now 3-1 lifetime against NCCU.

Hot-Shooting Radford Downs UNC Asheville 81-69

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Kayln Crosier scored a career-high 20 points as Radford led from start to fi nish and defeated homestanding UNC Asheville 81-69 in the Big South Conference opener at Justice Center.

Crosier went 9-of-14 from the fi eld and a perfect 2-of-2 from beyond the arc to help the Highlanders (4-10, 1-0 BSC) break a fi ve-game losing streak.

The Bulldogs (7-5, 0-1 BSC) were led by Kelli Riles with 20 points and 12 rebounds. The sophomore forward earned her seventh double-double of the season and went 8-of-10 from the fi eld. Kendall Shepard fi nished with 12 points and six assists. Lind-sey Montgomery added 11 points before fouling out with four minutes left.

Radford had Brooke McElroy with 14 points and eight rebounds. Erica Rivera came off the bench to score 11 points. Denay Wood chipped in 10 points.

The Highlanders were red-hot from the fi eld the entire night as they shot 53 percent (34-of-64) from the fi eld and 45 percent (5-of-11) from the three-point line.

“You have to give Radford all the credit in the world tonight,” explained Asheville coach Betsy Blose. “They moved the ball around very well, got good shots and made them throughout the evening.

“We’ve got to start playing better defense,” added Blose. “You can’t let your oppo-nent shoot better than 50 percent from the fi eld, give up 81 points and expect to win too many games. We’ll learn from this and get better.”

Radford took the game over midway through the fi rst half when it went on a 13-3 run to build a 25-12 lead. Crozier had eight points during the run.

The lead ballooned to 34-16 on Crozier’s trey with 5:34 left to go in the half before the Bulldogs made a late run to get back in the game. Asheville scored eight straight points to get to 38-30 on a lay-up from Shepard. Radford led 43-34 at halftime.

In the second half, the Highlanders slowly built on the lead and got the margin up to 21 points on a trey from Wood at the 10:36 mark. The Bulldogs would get no closer than the fi nal margin.

Game 13*High Point 94, UNC Asheville 75Justice Center - Asheville, N.C.

High Point Downs UNC Asheville, 94-75

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Leading by seven at halftime, the Panthers of High Point opened the second half on a 28-to-8 run to pull away from the UNC Asheville Bull-dogs en route to a 94-75 HPU victory on Saturday afternoon at the Justice Center in Big South Conference women’s basketball action.

Shamia Brown and Amy Dodd led the Panthers on offense with 18 points apiece with Jurica Hargraves chipping in 17 to the High Point total. Hargraves also dished out seven assists as the Panthers improved to 7-8 overall with a 1-1 mark in the Big South.

Asheville was led on offense by Breaira Barksdale who scored 16 points while tal-lying a team-high four assists. However, the Bulldogs’ defense could not slow down the high-powered Panthers as the Blue & White gave up its second highest point total to an opponent this season.

“It’s frustrating because we’ve really been working hard on our defense in practice and it’s just not showing,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “We may need to try some different things to shake things up, in practice and in games.”

The Bulldogs fall to 7-6 on the season with a 0-2 record in league play.

Grace Blaylock, Lindsey Montgomery, Kelli Riles and Kendall Shepard each scored 10 points for the Bulldogs with Montgomery and Riles earning nine rebounds apiece. Montgomery also came away with a season-high three steals in the contest.

LaTeisha Dean also scored in double fi gures for the Panthers, adding 16 to the High Point total. As good as the offense was for the Panthers it was the defense that put the game out of reach. High Point tallied 11 blocks as a team with Cheyenne Parker recording a game-high six rejections coming off the bench.

The Bulldogs started the game hitting on all cylinders, jumping out to a 24-19 lead over the fi rst nine minutes of the game. Minutes later a 3-pointer by Hargraves gave the Panthers a 26-24 lead and High Point would never trail the rest of the way.

HPU built its lead to as much as 11 in the fi rst half before Asheville was able to close the advantage to only seven points heading into the break, trailing 48-41.

Asheville Earns 65-53 Victory Over Coastal Carolina For First Big South Win

CONWAY, S.C. – UNC Asheville’s Lindsey Montgomery and Kelli Riles each re-corded double-doubles against Coastal Carolina on Saturday afternoon at the Kim-bel Arena as the Bulldogs picked up their fi rst Big South Conference victory of the season with a 65-53 decision over the Chanticleers in women’s basketball action.

The win for the Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing skid and was the fi rst victory for the Blue & White in Conway, S.C. since the 2006-07 season. Asheville also matches its win total from last season with the 12-point win.

Montgomery and fellow senior Kendall Shepard each scored a game-high 13 points with Riles chipping 12 to the Asheville total. Lindsey Thompson scored 11 points for the Bulldogs who improve to 8-7 overall and 1-3 in the Big South.

“This was a great win for us on the road,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “We played a more consistent 40 minutes, and we showed good balance. We didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but our defense did a good job of getting us the lead.”

Asheville held Coastal to 29.2 percent shooting from the fl oor, including 26.5 per-cent in the second half.

The Chanticleers were led on offense by Sydnei Moss who scored 10 points in 29 minutes of action. Shanika Maddox pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and Katie White posted four blocks for CCU. Coastal falls to 6-9 on the season and 0-3 in conference play.

Montgomery and Riles each pulled down 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs with Thomp-son contributing seven. It was Riles’ seventh double-double of the season and the third for Montgomery.

The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead in the fi rst half and led 18-11 with 9:58 to go in the frame. Asheville would keep the Chanticleers at arm’s length the rest of the half and took a 33-25 lead into the break.

The two teams traded points back-and-forth over the fi rst fi ve minutes before a Shep-ard 3-pointer put the Bulldogs up by 10 at 40-30 with 14:55 to go. Asheville would push its lead to as much as 15 before eventually earning the 12-point victory.

Game 16*Charleston Southern 85, UNC Asheville 74Buccaneer Fieldhouse - Charleston, S.C.

Women’s Basketball Falls at Charleston Southern, 85-74

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - Katie Tull scored 27 points, while Helen Terry added 23 points to lead Charleston Southern to an 85-74 Big South Conference vic-tory over visiting UNC Asheville Monday night at the CSU Fieldhouse.

The Bulldogs (8-8, 1-4 BSC) trailed by 25 points in the fi rst half but rallied to close to nine midway through the second half but just couldn’t get any closer.

Asheville was led by Kelli Riles with her ninth double-double of the season as she scored 19 points and had 13 rebounds. Kendall Shepard fi nished with 16 points. Lindsey Montgomery scored all 13 of her points in the second half. Lindsey Thomp-son added 12 points on four 3-pointers.

“We did a nice job coming back in the second half but you can’t spot a team like Charleston Southern a 25-point lead and expect to come back,” commented Bulldog coach Betsy Blose. “We didn’t do a good job defending in the fi rst half, and we let Katie Tull and Helen Terry get going on offense and that put us in a big hole. Charleston Southern was also quite physical with us in the fi rst half, and we just didn’t match that.”

CSU (9-9, 3-2 BSC) led from start to fi nish. Terry scored 13 points in the fi rst 10 minutes to help get the Lady Bucs going. Her 14 points helped the home team jump in front 24-16 midway through the half.

Then Tull got hot. She scored 17 of CSU’s next 19 points as the Lady Bucs stormed to a 43-18 lead. The senior guard knocked down three straight 3-pointers and then scored on a three-point play on the next possession. Tull ended the run with a long trey as Lady Bucs led by 25 with 4:42 left in the half.

The Bulldogs got six points from freshman Brittney Bowser in the fi nal three min-utes as Asheville crept to 49-30 at halftime.

Asheville stormed back in the second half. The Bulldogs trailed 59-35 after a trey by Tull before the visitors went on a 17-2 run to close to 61-52 on a Montgomery lay-up at the 12-minute mark. Montgomery had eight points during the run and was just relentless inside. Asheville also forced six CSU turnovers during the run.

The Bulldogs were within 64-55 at the 11-minute mark but CSU was very effi cient on offense over the next fi ve minutes. The Lady Bucs went on an 18-10 run as they got points from fi ve different players to build an 81-62 lead.

Asheville would get no closer than the fi nal margin.

Presbyterian Survives Slugfest With Asheville, 53-51

CLINTON, S.C. - The UNC Asheville women’s basketball team dropped a 53-51 decision to Big South Conference foe Presbyterian College on Monday evening as the Bulldogs could never get their offense on track against the stingy Blue Hose defense.

Grace Blaylock led the team in scoring with 12 points after connecting on 4-of-8 three-pointers on the night. Kendall Shepard also scored in double fi gures posting 11 points while Lindsey Montgomery posted a game-high nine rebounds. The Bulldogs fall to 9-11 overall on the year with a 2-6 mark in the Big South.

“We had some opportunities to tie the game or take the lead, but we just didn’t get the job done,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “This is a game we really needed to get. We weren’t executing our offense early on – we just have to be more disciplined on offense.”

The Blue Hose were led offensively by Mariah Pietrowski who scored a game-high 13 points. Amanda Mills scored nine points for PC including two 3-pointers with under two minutes to play to help secure the victory. Presbyterian improves to 6-14 while moving to 3-5 in conference play.

The Bulldogs got off to a sluggish start in the fi rst half, connecting on only 6-of-23 fi eld goal attempts. Blaylock led the team in scoring with a pair of trey’s, fi nishing the frame with six points. The Blue Hose didn’t fair much better, connecting on only 9-of-27 shot attempts. Pietrowski led PC in scoring in the fi rst half with nine points.

In the second half, the Blue & White showed improvement shooting the ball, con-necting on 55 percent of their shots. Asheville just couldn’t close the gap on the Blue Hose over the fi nal frame as the Bulldogs dropped their 11th game of the season.

The second half saw the Blue & White push its lead out to as much as 15 over the fi rst fi ve minutes of the frame. However, the Highlanders would keep chipping away at the Bulldogs’ lead until they were able to tie the game at 56-56 with 2:22 remaining.

Game 22Longwood 77, UNC Asheville 73

Willett Hall - Farmville, Va.

Longwood Sweeps Season Series With Asheville

FARMVILLE, Va. – In a back and forth game that 16 lead changes and nine tie scores, the UNC Asheville women’s basketball team dropped a 77-73 decision to Longwood University on Tuesday evening at Willett Hall on the campus of the Lancers.

“We had our chances in the game but in the end we just couldn’t convert some op-portunities down the stretch,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “We took a late lead but just couldn’t hold onto it. You’ve got to give Longwood credit, they made the shots when it mattered.”

The Bulldogs were paced on offense by senior forward Lindsey Montgomery, who scored 24 points on the night. She also pulled down 11 rebounds en route to her sev-enth double-double of the season. Sophomore guard Grace Blaylock tied her own school record for 3-pointers in a game fi nishing with 18 points on six made treys.

Kendall Shepard scored 15 for the Blue & White, who fall to 10-12 on the season. This contest was also a rematch from a game earlier this season, a game in which the Lancers won 76-66 at the Justice Center. Asheville is now 1-3 lifetime against Longwood.

Longwood was led on offense by Brittanni Billups who posted 15 points and 14 boards for the Lancers. Crystal Smith contributed 14 to the Lancers’ total with team-mate Chelsea Coward adding 11. Krystel Garrison and Mina Jovanovic each scored 10 to help Longwood improve to 6-16 on the year.

In the fi rst half the Bulldogs fell behind early but were able to make up ground and went into the break tied at 32 with the Lancers. Asheville struggled in the front court defending a bigger Longwood lineup after reigning Big South Conference Player of the Week Kelli Riles had to leave the game with a broken nose three minutes into the contest.

Longwood started the second half on a 12-2 run before Asheville was able to once again chip away at the lead. The Bulldogs retook the lead at the 8:11 mark when Montgomery hit a pair of free throws to give Asheville a 57-56 advantage.

From that point on the two teams traded the lead back and forth until Asheville was able to pull ahead 71-70 on a reverse layup by Shepard with 2:15 remaining. How-ever, Asheville’s lead would be short-lived as Smith hit a jumper 20 seconds later.

The Bulldogs turned the ball over on their next possession and were forced to foul to try and conserve time. The Lancers were able to convert enough free throws down the stretch to put the game out of reach.

Winthrop Coliseum - Asheville, N.C.

Asheville Survives Late Scare From Winthrop

ROCK HILL, S.C. – The UNC Asheville women’s basketball picked up another Big South Conference victory on Monday evening as they defeated the Winthrop Lady Eagles 66-61 at Winthrop Coliseum. The Bulldogs led the entire way but had to withstand a furious comeback attempt by the Lady Eagles who fi nished the game on a 20-to-6 run.

Asheville (12-15, 5-9 BSC) shot the ball well in the fi rst half converting 11-of-22 fi eld goals including going 4-of-8 from behind the 3-point arc. The Blue & White took a 34-21 lead into halftime and pushed its lead to 19 heading into the fi nal media timeout of the game.

Winthrop (12-15, 5-9 BSC) trailed 60-41 with 3:51 remaining, only to hold the Bull-dogs without a fi eld goal over the fi nal four minutes. The Lady Eagles scored 20 points over that time frame, but were forced to foul to conserve time. Asheville was able to convert its free throws to hold on for the fi ve-point victory.

“We played great for 35 minutes but over the last fi ve minutes of the game we panicked against Winthrop’s press defense,” said Asheville head coach Betsy Blose. “But I’m really proud of how we were able to regain our composure and pull out the win. It wasn’t pretty at the end, but a win on the road is huge for us.”

Senior forward Lindsey Montgomery continued her quest for 1,000 career points, as she posted a team-high 15 points en route to her ninth double-double of the season (11 rebounds). Fellow senior Kendall Shepard, already a member of the 1,000 point club, scored 14 for the Bulldogs while Lindsey Thompson chipped in 12 points.

Shepard also recorded seven assists to just one turnover in 30 minutes of action.

Winthrop was led on offense by Dequesha McClannahan who scored a game-high 20 points. McClannahan posted six assists as well but also turned the ball over fi ve times. TaQuoia Hammick also had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds with Lacey Lyons contributing 14 points to the Lady Eagles’ total.

The win for the Bulldogs avenges a 71-64 loss to Winthrop on Jan. 22 at the Justice Center. The Bulldogs led by as much as 15 in the second half before the Lady Eagles came from behind for the seven-point win.

The Bulldogs will next be in action on Friday evening when they travel to Lynch-burg, Va., to take on Big South Conference regular season champion Liberty in a contest set for 7 p.m. The Lady Flames earned a 61-44 win over Asheville on Jan. 10 at Justice in the fi rst meeting between the two schools.

She is also the fi fth Bulldog overall to reach a thousand this season as John Williams, Matt Dickey and J.P. Primm reached that mark on the men’s side.

Devon Brown led the way for Liberty (19-9, 13-2 BSC) with a game-high 27 points with fellow Lady Flame Avery Warley recording a double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds. The Lady Flames took it to the Bulldogs inside as Liberty out-rebounded Asheville 47-26 while also outscoring them 38-12 in the paint.

The Bulldogs took an early lead in the game running out to a 15-8 lead over the fi rst six minutes of the contest. The Lady Flames would then go on a 19-2 run over the next eight minutes to take a 27-17 lead with 5:32 remaining in the fi rst half.

Liberty would take a 33-25 into halftime as the Bulldogs cut the lead to eight with a Shepard 3-pointer to end the half.

In the second half, the Lady Flames kept the Bulldogs at arm’s length until Asheville pulled to within fi ve at 55-50 on a Grace Blaylock trey with 5:49 remaining. How-ever, Liberty would outscore the Bulldogs 17-8 over the fi nal fi ve minutes to earn the win.

With the win the Lady Flames sweep the season series with the Blue & White while also clinching the No. 1 seed in the Big South Conference Tournament beginning next week.

The 1983-84 women’s basketball season will always have a special place in the hearts of all UNC Asheville fans. In 1984, the women’s basketball team fi nished on top by winning a national championship. The Bulldogs with just 10 players, a coach retiring and a team with a lot of heart claimed the 1984 NAIA national championship in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with four thrilling victories.

UNCA began the 1983-84 season with a great deal of optimism as head coach Helen Carroll welcomed back all fi ve starters from a team that went 22-9 the previous year. Included in the mix was center Sheila Ford, who would become the fi rst player in college basketball history to score more than 2,000 points and grab 2,000 rebounds. UNCA also had talented starters back in Kim Duncan and Trish Wyatt. Duncan completed her career as the school’s second all-time leading scorer, while Wyatt would fi nish as the fourth leading scorer. Point guard Julie Thompson would do a great job running the offense.

The Bulldogs enjoyed an excellent regular season and was ready for the District 26 playoffs. They routed Atlantic Christian, 94-62 in the opening round of the playoffs and then stunned UNC Wilmington, 78-66 in the semifi nals. The District 26 championship game would mean a trip to heavily favored Pembroke State.

However, the Bulldogs and Ford would prove to be too tough for Pembroke. UNCA shocked the home team, 62-56 as Ford had 26 rebounds, outrebounding the entire Pembroke team that fi nished with just 24. Carroll’s club hit clutch shot after clutch shot to claim the program’s fi rst ever district championship.

To get to the NAIA national tournament, the Bulldogs would have to win a home game against Spring Garden in the NAIA Bi-District Playoff game. Asheville won easily, 87-59 and it was on to Iowa.

The Bulldogs came to Cedar Rapids unranked in the Top 20 polls and were lightly regarded. UNCA then played four of the most exciting games in tournament history.

In the opening game, the Bulldogs trailed by eight points late in the contest. However, Asheville roared back to win the game, 62-61. Ford had 21 points, while Duncan and Wyatt combined for 35 points.

The next night would be a pretty big test. Two-time defending NAIA national champion Southwest Oklahoma entered the quarterfi nals with a 47-game winning streak. They had been featured in Sports Illustrated, and the Bulldogs were supposed to be nothing but a warm-up game. However, Asheville stayed close the whole game and took the lead late. Ford fi nished with 23 points, and Thompson sank two free throws with three seconds left to seal the stunning upset, 57-54.

In the semifi nals, the Bulldogs would meet Dillard (La.). Dillard had routed UNCA earlier in the season at home, 70-56. Things were much different this time around. Ford was simply unstoppable with 41 points and 19 rebounds. Off the bench, reserve forward Dawn Snyder came off the bench to score seven crucial points as UNCA roared into the championship game, 81-64.

The championship game would be a classic as the Bulldogs would take on a strong Portland squad. There were numerous lead changes before Portland took a 65-63 late in the game. However, Duncan would score with seven seconds remaining to tie the game at 65-65 and send the game into overtime.

In overtime, the Bulldogs scored the fi rst fi ve points to grab a 70-65 lead. Portland countered with fi ve straight points to knot the game at 70-70. UNCA decided to hold for a last shot and with three seconds left, Wyatt nailed a jumper from the left of the lane to give the Bulldogs a 72-70 lead. Portland’s last shot missed and the Bulldogs were the 1984 NAIA national champions.

Ford led all scorers with 26 points and 21 rebounds. She fi nished the tournament with 111 points and 66 rebounds. Ford earned MVP honors, while Duncan earned all-tournament honors.

The Bulldogs fi nished the season with a 32-5 overall record and produced the perfect send-off for Carroll, who retired at the end of the season.

The championship was more than 20 years ago but will never be forgotten by Bulldog fans.

The name Sheila Ford will always have a special place in UNC Asheville Athletics history. Never before and probably never again will a player distinguish herself the way Ford did during her sensational career at UNCA from 1980-1984.

One only needs to glance at Ford’s career’s statistics and honors to realize the magnitude of her accomplishments. The phrase weathers with age, but she will never be less than “The Franchise” as she led the Bulldog program to national recognition.

The 1984 NAIA national tournament was a career in miniature for Ford. She averaged an amazing 27.8 points and 16.5 rebounds to lead UNC Asheville to its fi rst and only national championship. Her amazing accomplishments earned her fi rst team All-American honors and she was also named as the Most Valuable Player for the NAIA Tournament that was played in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Ford was the fi rst player in the history of women’s collegiate basketball to collect over 2,000 points and 2,000 rebounds. More than 20 years later, she still holds 18 records at UNC Asheville. Her 2,200 rebounds are the most of any collegiate player on any level at this time.

Her dedication and hard work to improve are an example to all players. The Clarkton native was lightly recruited out of high school, but once she arrived at UNC Asheville in the fall of 1980, Ford set her goals high and never lost sight of them.

In the fall of 2003, Sheila was part of the UNC Asheville Athletics Hall of Fame inaugaral class. She and her family live in Bowling Green, Ky., where she is an instructor at Western Kentucky University.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the fi eld of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s fi rst Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an offi cial conference. The Big South’s fi rst year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fl edged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its fi rst automatic bid -- receiving an automatic qualifi er to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its fi rst-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the fi nest teams in the nation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 15 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the fi rst time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its fi rst long-range strategic plan, re-affi rming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & fi eld in 1997. The Conference’s 19th championship sport -- women’s lacrosse, will begin play in 2012-13 with seven members. At the same time, Kallander has solidifi ed Conference membership, as an all-time high 11 member institutions comprise the 28-year League in 2011-12. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian College, plus the return of charter member Campbell University this year. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its fi rst live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 700 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had an individual National Champion six times, more than 240 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & fi eld, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship six times in addition to the fi rst men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the fi rst women’s golf program advance to the national fi nals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team fi ve consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, has had four NFL Draft picks, and had an institution fi nish fi fth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships - the Conference’s highest-ever team fi nish in an NCAA event.

In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four out of the last seven years - including a national seed for the fi rst time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fi fth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run), Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reach the postseason for the fi rst time in Conference history. Last season, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its fi rst automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the fi rst in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team - one of fi ve former Big South athletes to compete in the Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won four PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007 and tied for runner-up at the 2011 Open Championship.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s fi rst 25 years. The Conference’s on-fi eld accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its 27 years of existence. Furthermore, the Big South has a record number of NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last two years.

BULLDOGS IN THE BIG SOUTH

7777

UNC Asheville 67, Radford 57Big South Championship GameMarch 10, 2007 -- Asheville, N.C.

The Bulldogs picked up their fi rst ever Big South Conference championship with an exciting 67-57 title-game victory over second-seeded Radford before a packed crowd of 1,381 fans at Justice Center

The win was Asheville’s sixth straight and raised its record to 21-11, the most wins by a Bulldog team since the 1983-84 season.

UNC Asheville was led by Big South Tournament MVP Amanda Elder. The senior forward scored 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out four assists. She scored 14 of her 16 points in the second half as the Bulldogs rallied from a 27-24 halftime defi cit.

Also making the all-tournament team was senior guard Brittany Hendley who scored nine points and had three steals. She was 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Freshman guard and Big South Rookie of the Year Kyla Jones added 11 points, 11 rebounds and four steals. Saturday’s championship culminated a spectacular turnaround for UNC Asheville under fi fth-year head coach Betsy Blose. Blose came to Asheville in spring of 2002 and inherited a team that went 1-27 the previous year. The Bulldogs fi nished 3-25 in her fi rst season but have had four straight winning seasons since then. The game was close the whole way. Asheville struggled with its offense in the fi rst half as it had 12 turnovers and struggled from the free throw line, going just 6-of-11. Radford struggled as well with 10 turnovers but got eight points from Kelli Darden to lead 27-24 at halftime. In the second half, both teams took turns taking the lead with no one leading by more than four in the fi rst 15 minutes of the half. Finally, the Bulldogs took charge in the fi nal fi ve minutes. Leading 52-51, the Bulldogs got a jumper from Ana Baker to push the lead to 54-51. Jones then got a steal and Elder knocked down a trey off a pass from Baker to get Asheville in front, 57-51. Radford got to 59-55 with 1:15 left on a jumper from Shavon Earp. Elder then knocked down a foul-line jumper with 58 seconds

left to get the lead to 61-55. She knocked down three more free throws and picked up two rebounds in the fi nal 50 seconds to seal Asheville’s fi rst ever trip to the NCAA Tournament. “I thought our defense was just tremendous the entire tournament,” stated Blose. “We never got on track the way we wanted to on offense, but our rebounding and defense was just great the whole time, especially today.

“We were fi nally able to get a little lead late in the game, and I just looked into the eyes of our players and just believed we were going to win,” added Blose. “We’re very excited to represent the Big South Conference into the NCAA Tournament. This is a great day for our team but it’s also a great day for UNC Asheville and our administration. Our administration did a great job getting the Big South Conference Tournament to come to Asheville and allowing us to play in front of a super atmosphere today.”

Asheville dominated the boards as it out-rebounded Radford, 44-27. The Bulldogs’ bench outscored the Highlanders, 24-13. Asheville shot 50 percent from the fi eld (13-of-26) in the second half and was a red-hot 71 percent (5-of-7) from beyond the arc.

The biggest key to the game was free throw shooting as the Bulldogs got to the line 30 times. Asheville was 18-of-30 from the charity stripe, while Radford was just 5-of-8.

UNC Asheville Featured in Princeton Review’s “The Best 376 Colleges”

UNC Asheville is featured in the Princeton Review’s “The Best 376 Colleges – 2012 Edition,” and also included on several “best of” lists within the annual guidebook released today. The Princeton Review ranked the top 15 percent of colleges and universities, based on a survey of 122,000 students who provide candid assessments of their institutions.

The Princeton Review praised UNC Asheville as offering a “top-notch academic experience,” citing the liberal arts curriculum, challenging course material, and professors who are devoted and passionate about their fi elds of study. “The professors’ enthusiasm for each course is contagious,” said a student quoted in the guide. An environmental studies major added, “The classes are small enough that the professors know you by name and seem to care if you do well … tutoring sessions are free and plentiful.”

UNC Asheville also received a high “quality of life” ranking of 92 (scale maximum is 99). Students told the Princeton Review that they love living and eating in Asheville and the guide lists UNC Asheville as #16 on its national “best of” lists for the categories “Town-Gown Relations are Great,” and “Great College Towns.” Residence life, outdoor recreation, athletics and opportunities for relaxing in downtown Asheville were among the features commended for rounding out the college experience at UNC Asheville.

Fiske Guide Gives High Marks to UNC Asheville and its Environmental Studies Program

UNC Asheville is once again ranked among the nation’s top colleges in the 2012 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” published in July. The Fiske Guide calls UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.”

“This public liberal arts university offers all the perks that are generally associated with pricier private institutions: rigorous academics, small classes, and a beautiful setting,” says the Fiske Guide, noting that UNC Asheville provides all this for a fraction of the cost of a private college. “I have been astounded by the quality of the teaching,” said a senior quoted in the guide. “There are no teaching assistants, only professors, and a large majority of them have the highest degree in their fi eld.”

In addition, for the eighth consecutive year, UNC Asheville’s Environmental Studies Program was named to the Fiske Guide’s list of pre-professional programs with unusual strength in preparing students for careers. Students in UNC Asheville’s program learn to address environmental issues through a multidisciplinary approach that includes biology, ecology, geology, chemistry, physics, economics, public policy, and other natural and social sciences. Undergraduate research is an important feature of the curriculum, and the Environmental Studies Department stresses on-the-job internships in organizations involved with environmental issues.

Earlier this year, UNC Asheville was named one of America’s “10 Best Colleges for the Money” by bankrate.com. The university was ranked among the nation’s 50 “2011 Best Value Colleges” by the Princeton Review, and listed among the top 100 public colleges by Kiplinger Personal Finance. The most recent edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” praised UNC Asheville’s faculty for its “unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching,” and ranked UNC Asheville 5th in the nation on the “Up-and-Comers” list of liberal arts colleges.

Janet R. ConeDirector of AthleticsSenior Administrator for University Enterprises

Janet R. Cone is in her eighth year as Director of Athletics at UNC Asheville. She also serves as the school as Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. Last year, Cone saw the UNC Asheville men’s basketball team win the Big South Conference championship and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In addition, the Bulldog women’s indoor track and fi eld squad fi nished in third place, the highest fi nish in school history. Senior sprinter Natalie Pearson made her second appearance in the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field meet.

Two years ago, Chancellor Anne Ponder appointed Cone to the newly-created position of Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. In this position, Cone oversees the Wilma Sherrill Center, manage specifi c community relationships and serve as a member of UNC Asheville’s fundraising team. She continues as a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Staff and assists Chancellor Ponder in more closely aligning the university with the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement.

In 2009, Cone created the Asheville Sports Commission to help bring athletic events to the Asheville area. Her leadership helped land the Southern Conference

men’s and women’s basketball tournament to return to Asheville starting in 2012.

Student-Athletes have excelled in the classroom under Cone’s leadership. In 2004, she created the Athletic Director’s 3.0 + Club that recognizes all student-athletes who make a 3.0 or better grade point average each semester. More than 700 student-athletes have made the club during Cone’s six years, and in 2009-10, a record number of student-athletes earned that distinction.

During that same time period, more than 600 student-athletes have been named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll, and in 2009-10 more than 60 percent of UNC Asheville’s student-athletes have earned this impressive academic distinction. The Department of Athletics has also successfully hosted two Big South Conference Tournaments that produced revenue for the school.

Cone has overseen construction projects that has dramatically improved the facilities in which UNC Asheville’s Bulldog student-athletes compete and train. (1) The Wilma Sherrill Center for Health and Wellness/Kimmel Arena was fi nished last spring and is being used this semester. Funded partly through a $35 million state appropriation, Cone helped raise more than seven million dollars in private funds to construct the Kimmel Arena, a major convocation space that will accommodate larger group events than the campus has been able to host before. Among other things, this will allow the university to host its own graduation on campus, attract major venue speakers and performances, and will secure a future home for men’s and women’s basketball teams.

The inaugural game in Kimmel Arena will be against UNC Chapel Hill on Nov. 13 and that game will be nationally televised by ESPNU. (2) Renovation and repairs to the Karl Straus Track began in the spring of 2009. Cone helped raised more than one million dollars in private funding for the track project. (3) Cone negotiated a partnership with Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort for construction of a new Bulldog tennis facility which has indoor courts, composition courts and six hard courts that was completed n the fall of 2009. The facility has been the home of Bulldog men’s and women’s tennis for the past two seasons and this spring will host the Big South Conference men’s and women’s tennis tournaments for the fi rst time in school history.

Highlights of the 2007-08 year included the men’s basketball team being co-regular season champions of the Big South Conference and earning a bid to the National Invitational Tournament, making UNC Asheville the fi rst men’s basketball team in Big South history to receive a bid to the NIT. Cone helped the department successfully host the Big South Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament and Women’s Basketball Tournament in back-to-back weekends.

In October of 2007, Cone was named the 2007 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators. UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder was delighted to see Cone receive the award. “Janet Cone’s inspirational leadership has set a very high standard for our student-athletes and our coaches, all of whom continue to be winners both on and off the fi eld,” stated Ponder. “We are thrilled that she is being recognized in this way for her vision, her energy, and her tenacity, qualities our University benefi ts from each and every day.”

In 2006-07, three different teams UNC Asheville teams won Big South Conference championships and advance to the NCAA Tournament. In May of 2006, the Bulldog baseball team completed an amazing run with their fi rst ever championship and a trip to Clemson for the NCAA Regional. In the fall of 2006, the women’s soccer team became the fi rst women’s team in school history to qualify for the NCAA Tournament when the Bulldogs won the league title and earned a spot against top-seed UNC Chapel Hill in the College Cup. In March of 2007, the UNC Asheville women’s basketball team won its fi rst ever Big South Conference championship. Asheville advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time where it took on Final Four-bound LSU.

The South Carolina native has promulgated a signifi cant increase in corporate sponsorships and Bulldog Athletic Association donations, critical to an organization that is not allowed to receive state funds of any kind. She has also overseen a new partnership with the Asheville City and Buncombe County Parks and Recreation Departments, an improved Athletics web-site, and the implementation of internet broadcasts and video-streaming for six different sports.

Cone has been tapped by the NCAA and the Big South Conference to serve on several key committees. In the Big South, she is on the committees for Budget, Compliance, Ad Hoc Committee on Publicity and Promotions, Baseball, Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Men’s Soccer and Tennis.

In July of 2006, the Summerville, S.C. native was one of just 14 female athletic administrators to be picked by the NCAA/NACWAA to attend The Institute of Athletics Executives in Denver. In September of 2008, she began a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council.

Other highlights of Cone’s tenure include the development of a new Athletics Logo and a partnership with the Asheville City and Buncombe County Parks and Recreation Departments.

She graduated magna cum laude from Furman University in 1978 and was named Physical Education Student of the Year while lettering in basketball and fi eld hockey as an undergraduate. While earning her Master’s from the University of South Carolina in 1986, she completed her studies with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

A life-long learner, Cone is a 2003 graduate of the NACWAA/HERS Institute of Administrative Advancement. She is a member of NACDA, NACWAA, NCAA Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association, Women’s Sports Foundation, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Since UNC Asheville fi rst fi elded athletics teams in the 1930s (then known as Biltmore College), the bulldog has been its mascot. Early students chose the bulldog for its fi erce and tenacious reputation. In the decades that have followed, the bulldog has become a beloved symbol of our University.

In 1948, “Puck,” arrived on campus and began a tradition of live bulldog mascots that lasted into the 1980s. Puck, named after the character in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was followed by Puck II and in the 1960s by Chug-a-lug. In the 1980s the campus welcomed Winston, named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, both for his bulldogged resolve as well as his appearance. Winston appeared for only a year and the tradition of a live mascot fell out of use. In 2009 thanks to a group of student organizers, UNC Asheville welcomed a new bulldog mascot to the University community. “Rocky I” made his fi rst public appearance at halftime of UNC Asheville’s homecoming basketball game on Feb. 21, 2009. Alumni couple, Alexis Johnson (’97) and Ed Johnson (’96), also a member of the math faculty, are his keepers.

The name “Rocky” was suggested by staff member Nancy Williams during a naming contest sponsored by the Athletics Department in 1995. Though the rumor has often been that the name came from Sylvester Stallone’s famous character, Rocky Balboa, which is based on the American prize fi ghter Rocky Marciano, the name was chosen because it means steadfast, much like the mountains that surround campus. Ironically, the name “Rocky,” which is of English origin, is a derivation of the name “Roch” (also Rocco and Roque) after St. Roch, the Patron Saint of Dogs.

In addition to the live bulldogs, the UNC Asheville mascot has also been depicted by an army of costumed students. Since the 1960s, students dressed as the bulldog have rallied the fans at thousands of games in support of Bulldog Athletics. The present incarnation of Rocky was introduced during the 2006-2007 season and is the fi rst to accurately refl ect the logo image of the bulldog used on signs and in print publications. That image, introduced during the 2004-05 season is the fi fth offi cial incarnation of the UNC Asheville bulldog logo.

In the late 1990s, the image of the bulldog, or “Rocky,” was immortalized in aluminum through a gift by the Class of 1998. Sculpted by Matt West (‘00) and modeled after a canine friend of the University, Pete “Bubba” McGill, the statue of Rocky stands in front of the Justice Center as a sentinel over campus. Careful observers will note a chipped tooth and a torn ear, signs of his ferocity. Despite his tough outward appearance, the statue of Rocky is beloved by fans. Continuing a tradition begun by the Class of 1998, each year, during convocation and commencement, freshman and seniors rub his head for good luck before going to the ceremonies. Seniors are also often spotted getting their picture made riding Rocky in the days leading up to graduation.

Important NCAA Terms

A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade be-comes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any fi nancial assistance or other benefi ts that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally. An indi-vidual remains a prospective student-athlete until one of the following occurs (whichever is earlier):

(a) The individual offi cially registers and enrolls in a minimum full-time program of studies and attends classes in any term of a four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or(b) The individual participates in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (Revised: 1/11/89, 1/10/90)(c) The individual offi cially registers and enrolls and attends classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment. (Adopted: 4/28/05, Revised: 1/17/09)

Contact: A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians and an institutional staff member or athletics representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. Any such face-to-face encounter that is prearranged (e.g., staff member positions himself or herself in a location where contact is possible) or that takes place on the grounds of the prospective student-athlete’s educational institution or at the site of organized competition or practice involving the prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s high school, preparatory school, two-year college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of whether any conversation occurs. How-ever, an institutional staff member or athletics representative who is approached by a prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians at any location shall not use a contact, provided the encounter was not prearranged and the staff member or athletics representative does not engage in any dialogue in excess of a greeting and takes appropriate steps to immediately terminate the encounter.

Contact Period: A contact period is that period of time when it is permissible for authorized athletics department staff members to make in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations.

Evaluation: Evaluation is any off-campus activity designed to assess the academic qualifi ca-tions or athletics ability of a prospective student-athlete, including any visit to a prospective student-athlete’s educational institution (during which no contact occurs) or the observation of a prospective student-athlete participating in any practice or competition at any site.

Evaluation Period:An evaluation period is a period of time when it is permissible for authorized ath-letics department staff members to be involved in off-campus activities designed to assess the academic qualifi cations and playing ability of prospective student-athletes. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts shall be made with the prospective student-athlete during an evaluation period.

Quiet Period: A quiet period is a period of time when it is permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts only on the institution’s campus. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts or evaluations may be made during the quiet period.

Dead period: A dead period is a period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the institution’s campus or to per-mit offi cial or unoffi cial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s campus. The provision of complimentary admissions to a prospective student-athlete during a dead period is prohibited, except as provided in Bylaw 13.7.2.5 for a prospective student-athlete who visits an institution as part of a group. During a dead period, a coaching staff member may not serve as a speaker at or attend a meeting or banquet at which prospective student-athletes are in at-tendance, except as provided in Bylaw 13.1.8.1, and may not visit a prospective student-athlete’s educational institution. It remains permissible, however, for an institutional staff member to write or telephone a prospective student-athlete during a dead period.

Initial Eligibility: A student-athlete who enrolls in a member institution as an entering freshman with no previous full-time college attendance shall meet specifi c NCAA academic requirements, as certifi ed by the NCAA Eligibility Center, as approved by the Executive Committee, and any applicable institutional and conference regulations, to be considered a qualifi er and thus be eligible for fi nancial aid, practice and competition during the fi rst academic year in residence.

“The athletics scholarship I received from UNC Asheville allowed me to focus solely on my academics and soccer, without being concerned about how to pay for school. I donate to the Bulldog Athletics Club now so that current and future student-athletes can enjoy the same experience I did. Being a student-athlete at UNC Asheville was one of the best experiences of my life and the values and lessons I learned have helped me in my professional career and my personal life. Go Bulldogs!”
