2011 SEASON PREVIEW


2011 LADY HORNETS SEASON PREVIEWAlabama State University is coming off its’ most successful soc-cer season in the short seven-season history of the program. While the Lady Hornets 6-12 overall record may not sound good, for ASU it represents the most wins in the school’s histo-ry and an appearance in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Tournament, where ASU picked up their first-ever tournament victory. ASU also finished with a 4-3 mark against conference members, which was not only the most conference wins in school history, it was also the first time ASU finished a season with a winning record against conference teams.

With seven starters and 12 returners coming back for the 2011 season, even better things could be in store for the Lady Hor-nets. This season the ASU coaching staff has added five talented newcomers to team with the returning team members.

ASU will have seven starters returning led by Lenna Lamas (Torrence, Calif.) who returns for her junior season. She was named to the SWAC All-Tournament team following the Lady Hornets run into the semifinals.

Jasmine Wilson (Austell, Ga.) will be the lone senior on the team. She has started several matches over the course of her career and will be counted on to be a team leader.

Jordan Creel (Brunswick, Ga.) returns to her defender position and joins sophomore Melissa Douglas (Port of Spain, Trini-dad) and Stephanie Howard (Wetumpka, Ala.) on the ASU back row of defense.

ASU should be plenty strong in the midfield position with start-ers Alexander Ayers (Snellville, Ga.) and Samantha Bruno (Hamilton, Ontario) returning.

Another returning sophomore is Helma Van Zadow (Potts-dam, Germany). She started 11 matches last season and can play as a forward or midfielder. Junior Dominique Humphrey (College Park, Ga.) has also seen action as a starter at midfield. Junior Franka Schauss (Pottsdam, Germany) will play at a mid-field position and has also seen action as a defender during her career.

Junior Maressa Gordon (Greenville, Miss.) has played at both the forward position and in the goal over the course of her ca-reer. She will provide solid depth at both positions.

Among the five newcomers are two defenders and two forwards along with one midfielder and a goal keeper.

Kyla Neale (Phoenix, Ariz.) comes to ASU with an impressive background at the forward position. With that position being one of the low number spots for ASU, she could work her way into the starting lineup when August 11th rolls around.

Katherine McCleary (Coolangatta, Ontario, Australia) is a de-fender and has picked up plenty of international experience.

Kylee Hathaway (Pomona, Calif.) is one player the coaching staff is very high on. She is a talented and athletic goal keeper and will have the opportunity to be the starter in goal on open-ing day.

The final newcomers are Iita Pienimaki (Jyvaskyla, Finland) who will also play in the midfield and will be a strong addition to the team and Melinda Smith, from nearby Stone Mountain, Ga., who will add depth to the position as well.

2010 SEASON IN REVIEW


LADY HORNETS SEASON IN REVIEWThe 2010 Alabama State University soccer season saw several “firsts” in program history. ASU won a pro-gram-high six matches which includ-ed a 4-4 record against Southwestern Athletic Conference schools. It was the first non-losing conference season in the seven-year history of the pro-gram and the most wins against con-ference competition.

The Lady Hornets (6-12-0) finished tied for second in the Eastern Divi-sion for the first time and received a second-seed coming out of the East-ern Division heading into the SWAC tournament. It was the highest seed as well for ASU entering the conference tournament.

The Lady Hornets reached two more first’s once they got into the tourna-ment. The first was 2-1 win, which was the first tournament win, and they received another first by moving into the semifinals of the conference tournament for the first time in program history.

The season did not start well as ASU played six of their first 10 games on the road against solid competition. That start resulted in

a 1-9 start, including dropping their first two conference matches.

The turn-around began with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over rival Alabama A&M and building on that success, the Lady Hornets de-feated Grambling State by the same score.

After a close 1-0 road loss at Jackson State the Lady Hornets re-bounded two days later with a 4-1 road win over Southern Uni-versity.

Looking to keep the momentum alive, the Lady Hornets returned home to face Mississippi Valley State in a key East Division match-up. The Lady Devils were able to push in a single goal in the 55th minute for the 1-0 win.

The loss did not keep ASU down as they qualified for the SWAC Tournament with a 2-0 win over Alcorn State.

ASU made their trip into the tournament one to remember as Len-na Lemas scored in the 118th minute of overtime giving ASU a 2-1 victory over Texas Southern.

The season would come to an end in the semifinals as Jackson State won a 3-0 decision. JSU would go on to win the SWAC Tourna-ment and represent the conference in the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Hornets ended the season winning five of their final eight matches.

Senior Monique Sylvester was the Lady Hornets leading scorer and was voted to the All-SWAC Second Team while Lemas and Nash were named to the All-Tournament team.

In 1920, eight men representing six colleges from the state of Texas met in Houston to discuss collegiate athletics and the many challenges facing their respective institutions.

By the time the session concluded, they had founded an athletic league that went on to become one of the leading sports associations in the world of col-legiate athletics, the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

The Southwestern Athletic Conference’s current members include: Alabama A&M University (Huntsville, Ala.), Alabama State University (Montgomery, Ala.), Alcorn State University (Alcorn State, Miss.), Grambling State Univer-sity (Grambling, La.), Jackson State University (Jackson, Miss.), Mississippi Valley State University (Itta Bena, Miss.), Prairie View A&M University (Prai-rie View, Texas), Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, La.), Texas Southern University (Houston, Texas) and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (Pine Bluff, Ark.).

Former members of the SWAC include Bishop College (1920-56), Paul Quinn College (1920-29), Sam Houston College (1920-59), Texas College (1920-68), Wiley College (1920-68), Langston University (1931-57) and Arkansas AM&N (1936-70).

The founding fathers of the original “Super Six” were C.H. Fuller of Bishop College; Red Randolph and C.H. Patterson of Paul Quinn; E.G. Evans, H.J. Evans and H.J. Starns of Prairie View A&M; D.C. Fuller of Texas College and G. Whitte Jordan of Wiley College.

Paul Quinn became the first of the original members to withdraw from the league in 1929. When Langston University of Oklahoma was admitted into the conference two years later, it began the migration of state-supported in-stitutions into the SWAC. Southern University entered the ranks in 1934, fol-lowed by Arkansas AM&N in 1936 and Texas Southern in 1954.

Rapid growth in enrollment of the state-supported schools made it difficult for the church-supported schools to finance their athletics programs, and one by one they fell victim to the growing prowess of the tax-supported colleges.

Bishop withdrew from the conference in 1956, Langston in 1957 and Sam Houston in 1959, one year after the admittance of two more state-supported schools – Grambling College and Jackson College.

The enter-exit cycle continued in 1961 when Texas College withdrew, fol-lowed by the admittance of Alcorn A&M in 1962. Wiley left in 1968, the same year Mississippi Valley State entered. Arkansas AM&N exited in 1970 and Alabama State entered in 1982. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (formerly Arkansas AM&N) rejoined the SWAC on July 1, 1997, regaining full-member status one year later. Alabama A&M became the conference’s 10th member when it became a full member in September 1999 after a one-year period as an affiliate SWAC member.

Today, the SWAC ranks among the elite in the nation in terms of alumni play-ing with professional sports teams, particularly in the sport of football. On the gridiron, the conference as been the biggest draw on the Division I-AA level of the NCAA, leading the nation in average home attendance for 19 of the 20 years the I-AA division has been in existence. In fact, in 1994, the SWAC fell

just 40,000 fans short of becoming the first non-Division I-A conference to attract one million fans to its home games.

The SWAC’s ledger of alumni reads like a who’s who in college sports listings. Representing the SWAC in pro halls of fame are football stars Lem Barney (Jackson State/Detroit Lions), Mel Blount (Southern University/Pittsburgh Steelers), Willie Brown (Grambling State/Oakland Raiders), Buck Buchanan (Grambling State/Kansas City Chiefs), Willie Davis (GramblingState/Cleve-land Browns and Green Bay Packers), Ken Houston (Prairie View A&M/Houston Oilers and Washington Redskins), David “Deacon” Jones (Missis-sippi Valley/Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers and Washington Red-skins), Walter Payton (Jackson State/Chicago Bears), Jackie Slater (Jackson State/Los Angeles and St. Louis Rams) and Charlie Joiner (Grambling State/Houston Oilers, Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers); baseball stars Lou Brock (Southern University/St. Louis Cardinals) and Bill Foster (Alcorn State/Negro Leagues); and basketball star Willis Reed (Grambling State/New York Knicks).

Current championship competition offered by the SWAC includes races for men in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track, out-door track and field and tennis. Women’s competition is offered in basketball, bowling, cross country, golf indoor track, outdoor track and field, soccer, ten-nis and volleyball.

Alabama State University, founded in 1867, is a comprehensive regional university offering students from throughout the region, state and nation a world-class education by providing learning experiences designed to develop intel-lectual abilities, as well as social, moral, cultural and ethical values. In so doing, the university is equipping its students with the skills, in-sights, attitudes and practical experiences that will enable them to become well-rounded and discerning citizens, fully qualified for their chosen professions in the workplace and service to humanity.

YESTERDAY Alabama State University was founded in 1867 as the Lincoln School of Marion in Marion, Ala., a private institution for blacks, by nine former slaves. The founders and original trustees of our great institution were: Joey P. Pinch, Thomas Speed, Nicholas Dale, James Childs, Thomas Lee, John Freeman, Nathan Levert, David Harris and Alexander H. Curtis. The Lincoln School was incorporated on July 18, 1867, and opened Nov. 13, 1867, with 113 students. In 1868, the Alabama State Board of Education designated the school a Normal School and it became known as Lincoln Normal School. In Decem-ber 1873, the state board accepted the transfer of title to the school after a legislative act was passed authorizing the state to fund a Normal School, and George N. Card was named president. Thus, in 1874, this predecessor of Alabama State University became the first state sup-ported educational institution for blacks. This began ASU’s rich history as a “Teachers College.”

In 1878, the second president, William Burns Paterson, was appointed. He is honored as a founder of Alabama State University and was the president for 37 of the first 48 years of its existence. Paterson was instrumental in the move from Marion to Montgomery in 1887. In the decades that followed, Lincoln Normal School became a junior college and in 1928 became a full four-year institution. In 1929 it became Teachers College at Montgomery, Alabama State College for Negroes in 1948 and Alabama State College in 1954. In 1969 the state Board of Education, then the governing body of the university, approved a name change to Alabama State University. The 1995 Knight v. the State of Alabama Remedial Decree transformed ASU into a comprehensive regional institution, paving the way for two undergraduate programs, four graduate programs, diversity scholarship funding and endowment, funding to build a state-of-the art health sciences facility and a facility renewal allocation to refurbish three existing buildings.

TODAYASU proudly welcomed back noted historian Dr. William H. Harris as the university’s president in June 2008. Harris served as the university’s 10th president from June 1, 1994, to Sept. 30, 2000. Harris, during his first tenure as president, was instrumental in the Knight v. the State of Alabama Remedial Decree, which resulted in the launch of the occupational therapy program and its initial accreditation, the health information management and social work programs’ ac-creditation, and the completion of the proposals for doctoral programs in Educational Leadership, Policy and Law, and Microbiology. Also under Harris’ leadership, the university experienced a 100 percent increase in the number of academic and presidential scholars and became the comprehensive regional institution it is today.

Alabama State University today boasts an enrollment of more than 5,000 students from 42 states and seven countries. One-third of its stu-dents are non-Alabama residents and 11 percent are minorities. With a student-faculty ratio of 18 to 1, instructors are able to work closely with students, encourage ambition and challenge students to meet their academic success.

Alabama State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The university also is accredited by the following organizations and associations: the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the National Association of Schools of Music, the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy (ACOTE), Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, and the Council in Social Work Education.

In 2004, ASU was the nation’s number one producer of black teachers. ASU offers 48 degree programs, including 31 bachelor’s, 11 master’s, two education specialists and three doctoral courses of study. Since the remedial decree, the university has added a Master of Accountancy


degree program, an occupational therapy program, a health informa-tion program, a clinical doctorate in physical therapy and a doctorate in microbiology.

ASU is an aesthetically beautiful campus. Its eclectic mix of Geor-gian-style red-brick classroom buildings and architecturally con-temporary structures are unparalleled to other institutions of higher learning. ASU is home to the state-of-the-art 7,400-seat Dunn-Oliver Acadome, an academic and sports facility; the Levi Watkins Learn-ing Center, a five-story brick structure with more than 267,000 volumes; the state-of-the-art John L. Buskey Health Sciences Center, which is an 80,000 square-feet facility that houses classrooms, of-fices, an interdisciplinary clinic, three therapeutic rehabilitation labs, state-of-the-art Gross Anatomy Lab, Laboratory for the Analysis of Human Motion (LAHM), a women’s health/cardiopulmonary lab, and a health sciences computer lab; and WVAS-FM90.7, the 80,000-watt, university-operated public radio station.

Alabama State University charters more than 70 student organiza-tions, including nine Greek organizations, a full range of men’s and women’s sports and 17 honors organizations. In addition to social, cultural and religious groups, there are musical opportunities, such as the Marching Hornets and the University Choir, and departmental organizations for most majors. Men’s intercollegiate athletic pro-grams include baseball, basketball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, football, cross country and golf. The women’s intercol-legiate programs include volleyball, softball, golf, bowling, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, soccer and tennis. The ASU Hornets are members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and compete at the NCAA Division I level.

TOMORROW ASU is in the midst of an extensive construction program that, in ad-dition to the state-of-the-art Forensic Sciences facility and Fred Shut-tlesworth Dining Hall, includes the newly opened $30 million Ralph D. Abernathy College of Education building and the $26.7 million Life Science building that houses the Ph.D. program in microbiology. The university also recently completed the first of three phases of dormitory renovations, transforming six residence halls into suite-style living quarters. An expansion to the university’s library as well as the construction of a new student life center are planned.

ASU has a new on-campus baseball field and the new football com-plex is nearing its completion. ASU also has broken ground for a new on-campus softball facility as well as a new on-campus football stadium the Hornets will begin to use during the 2012 season.

Alabama State University has come far from the early days in its distinguished history as a teacher training institution and continues to build upon its proud legacy. For faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters, that “Ole Bama State Spirit” is alive and well -- and if the current growth and progress are any indication, that spirit will live on for generations to come.


Academic OfferingsAlabama State University’s academic offerings are as rich as they are varied: from four-year baccalaureates to master’s to doctoral degrees. Freshmen students first enroll in University College for a back-ground in general education. After completing the courses, a student must decide on a field of specialization and transfer to one of the university’s degree-granting colleges, schools or divisions. Students then devote their time to a specific field of study which will lead to a bachelor’s degree.

The Alabama State University Athletic Department in conjunction with the ASU Compliance office strive for honor and dignity of fair play and the highest standards associated with intercollegiate athletic programs. “Representatives of Athletics Interests,” which include alumni, boosters and friends of Alabama State University, all have a key role in maintaining our standards under the guidelines of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

The information on this page was prepared by the Alabama State Athletic Compliance office and is presented to you as a guide to assist you with any questions you may have. There are many more NCAA rules and regulations that are not contained here. If you are ever unsure regarding your involvement with our prospects or cur-rent student athletes, please contact the ASU Compliance office.

NCAA rules and regulations for“Representatives of Athletics Interests”

Relationships are easily formed with ASU student athletes as fans watch and cheer them on in their competitions. Building these types of relationships is not only exciting for the fans but also important in the lives of the student athletes. In an effort to ensure the eligibility of every student athlete is not harmed, ASU’s Compliance office shares these guidelines for what can and cannot be provided to our stu-dent athletes ...

DO’s• Provide an occasional meal in your home to a student athlete or an entire team. You also can provide transportation to your home for the occasional meal• Provide summer employment to a student athlete, provided he/she is paid the going rate and only for work actually performed

DONT’s (among other things)• Give a gift of equipment or clothing• Arrange employment for a prospect’s relatives• Give cash or co-sign on loans• Provide free or reduced-cost housing• Free or reduced-cost services, rentals or pur-chases of any type• Use of an automobile• Provide or arrange any special discounts,credits, or special payment arrangements (i.e. airline tickets, restaurant meals, cash)• Provide the parents, family or friends of astudent athlete with a free admission to an Ala-bama State University or booster club recogni-tion banquet.• Provide tickets to an athletics, institutional or community event

Intro to NCAA Compliance:Some Helpful FactsONLY coaches and athletic department staff members are permitted to be in-volved in the recruiting process

>Alumni, friends and “other representatives of athletics interest” (boosters) who are not employed by the university are not permitted to contact a prospect or members of the prospect’s family by letter, telephone or in-person for the purpose of soliciting their participation in the athletic program. Alabama State faculty mem-bers are allowed to have contact with prospects, but only while on the campus during unofficial or official visits.

A student athlete becomes a prospect ...>When the student athlete begins ninth-grade classes. Before the ninth grade, a student athlete becomes a prospect if a college provides any financial aid or other benefits to the student athlete (or their relatives or friends) that the college does not provide to all prospective students.

>A student athlete is considered a “recruited” prospect at a particular college if any coach or representative of the school’s athletics inter-est (booster or representative) approaches a student athlete or any member of their family about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches or boostersthat cause a student athlete to become arecruited prospect are:

- Providing the student athlete with an official visit- Placing more than one telephone call to the student athlete or any other member of their family- Visiting the student athlete or any other mem-ber of their family anywhere other than on the college’s campus

Alabama State University’s Athletics Compli-ance office monitors and verifies compliance with all NCAA, SWAC and university require-ments. The office educates not only the athleticsstaff, administration and student athletes,but also university faculty, staff and administra-tion as well as other individuals and entities with athletic interests.
