UNC Asheville is a selective, public liberal arts institution. UNC Asheville’s Intercollegiate Athletics Program refl ects the attitudes and values underlying the University’s overall mission: academic excellence, diversity, equity, integrity, service, and accomplishment. The UNC Asheville athletics program contributes to this liberal arts culture in two ways. First, athletics programs foster a sense of community and pride by fi elding NCAA Division I teams and developing talented student-athletes who successfully represent UNC Asheville in competition and refl ect the University’s commitment to overall excellence. Accordingly, the athletics program encourages an atmosphere of respect for self and others through the development of ethical conduct, sportsmanship, leadership, and citizenship and provides equitable opportunities for all students and staff, including women, minorities and indivduals of all sexual identities. Second, the program provides an additional campus experience for capable students to grow and develop academically, personally, socially, and athletically. This experience promotes institutional commitment and pride on the part of students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

The 2010 UNC Asheville women’s soccer season was not one for the record book as the Bulldogs fi nished with a 1-16 record and a last-place fi nish in the Big South Conference.

However, for fi rst-year coach Michelle Demko, last year’s tough campaign was the beginning of a new era for Asheville soccer.Demko installed a whole new attacking style of soccer and dealt with a rash of injuries that saw the Bulldogs limited to one or two substitutes in many matches. Asheville added players throughout the season just to make sure the squad had enough to fi nish the campaign.

Yet Demko’s club battled through all the adversity. It played hard in every match and showed improvement throughout the season. In the fi nal match of the year, the Bulldogs played at eventual Big South champi-on High Point. It was a match the Panthers had to win to move up in the league standings. Asheville, with nothing to play for, played High Point to a standstill for most of the match before falling 2-1 in overtime.

“I was really proud of our team last year,” stated Demko. “We in-stalled a whole new style of play and training and our players never wavered. They fought hard through every match and set a foundation for the future of our program.

“I think the disappointing part of the High Point match was that it was the last match for us,” added Demko. “Our players were wishing for six or seven more matches after playing High Point. “

“And that momentum carried over to the spring,” Demko said. “We worked hard and really accomplished a great deal. We have a lot more work to do, but the foundation is set in what we’re trying to ac-complish with our program.”

GOALKEEPER

UNC Asheville will go with a freshman in goal this season in Heath-er Muller. She comes to the mountains from Cary where she excelled at Apex HS and in club soccer.

“We have high expectations for Heather as she’s coming into to be our starting goalkeeper as a freshman,” declared Demko. “She’s an excel-lent athlete who has good height and has all the attributes to be a good goalkeeper. I know that Mary Casey (Demko’s assistant coach) can’t wait to work with her.”

Sophomore Kristen Lawson, who will play in the fi eld most of the time, will serve as Muller’s back-up. She played some in goal as a fresh-man in 2010.

DEFENSE

Asheville’s defense will be led by its upper-classmen. Senior Carolyn O’Brien and Mary Kate Tucker will headline the backline for the Bull-dogs.

O’Brien has been a three-year starter for Asheville, while Tucker is coming off a knee injury. Both will be key players for the Bulldogs this season.

“Carolyn has turned into a versatile player who can play anywhere on the fi eld,” explained Demko. “She’s hungry to have a winning senior season. Carolyn will be one of our leaders this year both on and off the fi eld.”

Tucker was injured in the fi nal match of the 2009 season and didn’t play last season. She was a second team All-Conference selection that year and earned Big South All-Rookie honors the previous season. Dem-ko is glad to have her back.

Carolyn O’Brien

“Mary Kate is a fantastic example of what we want this program to be,” stated Demko. “She is such a hard worker and will sacrifi ce and do anything to turn the program around. We’re glad we will have Mary Kate on the fi eld in 2011.”

Senior Frances Staelin walked on to the Bulldog team right before practice started and ended up being an important player for Asheville.

“Frances joined our program and then caught on quite quickly on what we were trying to accomplish,” admitted Demko. “She’s a good tackler and is vocal, which you need in the back.”

Sophomore Erin Ryan stepped in as a freshman and had a lot of positive moments for the Bulldogs.

“Erin did a tremendous job for us last year. She played just about every minute of every match,” stated Demko. “She will be a real anchor for our defense. Erin is strong and quite confi dent going forward.”

Gina Beer was another walk-on who ended up playing a great deal in 2010 in the back.

“Gina really played hard for us last year and gave us some good minutes,” commented Demko. “She’ll give us more of the same this year and provide depth in the both the back and midfi eld.”

Freshman Margo Flewelling joins the Asheville program after a successful prep and club career in Chapel Hill. She played in the East-West All-Star Game this past summer and scored a goal in the match.

“Margo comes from a great club program, so I know she knows the game very well,” explained Demko. “I know she’ll be a quick study and compete for playing time.”

2011 ASHEVILLE WOMEN’S SOCCER:

55

Leilani Halkiotis

MIDFIELD

Senior Leilani Halkiotis has been starter at midfi eld for the Bulldogs her entire career. She was Asheville’s leading scorer last season with four goals and 11 points.

“Leilani will be a huge part of our attack this year,” said Demko. “She’s very determined to make her senior season a successful one. Lei-lani has been a leader by example and has been extremely coachable.”

Junior Hannah Jeske is one of Asheville’s most versatile players.

“We can put Hannah anywhere on the fi eld and know we’re in good shape,” stated Demko. “She has a tremendous competitive spirit and will make sacrifi ces in order for us to win.”

Junior Ferris Roberts played as an outside midfi elder last season and made some solid contributions as she scored two goals during the year.

“Ferris has a nice pace and is a good server into the box,” said Demko. “She has an enormous fi tness rate and is always ready when called upon.”

Tarrah Tate, a sophomore, from Castle Rock, Colo., started in the last seven matches of the year and showed a great deal of promise.

“Tarrah likes to get forward and is deceptive with the ball,” stated Demko. “She is quite gifted technically and is strong one-on-one play-er.”

Kristen Lawson played both in goal and was a fi eld player in 2010. She’ll mostly be a midfi elder this year but will serve as a back-up goal-keeper to Heather Muller.

“Kristen does a good job serving long balls and is a solid player with her 1-2 touch,” admitted Demko. “She knows how to keep the game simple. We plan to use her in the fi eld this season but she’ll be ready to be in goal if we need her to be.”

Freshman Megan Foster joins the Asheville program from Gaines-ville, Fla. She is a versatile player who Demko is very high on.

“We believe Megan is a big piece of the puzzle to turning our pro-gram around,” explained Demko. “She can play anywhere, and we will use her wherever we need her. Megan is a player who does a great job when she possesses the ball. “

FORWARD

The Bulldogs have an interesting mixture up front of veterans and extremely talented newcomers.

The returnees include junior Mary Beale. She had not played much in her career but turned into a valuable contributor up front for Asheville in 2010. Beale scored two goals and gave the Bulldogs some toughness and energy.

“Mary is a player who strives to be better. She has an enormously positive attitude and is a real hard worker,” declared Demko. “Mary was such a pleasant surprise for us last season, and she’ll only be better this year with the experience she gained last season.”

Sophomore Amanda Knapp was Asheville’s second leading scorer in 2010 with three goals, two assists for eight points. She is just begin-ning to realize her potential.

“I have big expectations for Amanda,” stated Demko. “I think Aman-da is ready to prove to people that she can be a very dangerous striker and help us win games by scoring goals.”

Sophomore Emma Sell-Goodhand joined the Asheville program in the middle of the season. She jumped and really gave the Bulldogs a spark when she was playing.

“Emma did a nice job of buzzing around the top and giving us some energy,” commented Demko. “She’s a good combination player and has excellent speed.”

Freshman Amanda Dailor and Kaitlyn Eckert are highly touted rookies who could make an immediate impact on this year’s Bulldog squad.

Eckert has actually been at UNC Asheville since January. She gradu-ated early from Knightdale (N.C.) HS and enrolled last winter. Eckert got to play in the spring for the Bulldogs. She had an amazing prep career with 105 goals at Knightdale, including 63 in her junior year in 2010.

“Kaitlyn is one of the most powerful strikers I’ve ever seen,” ex-plained Demko. “She can score from a lot of different places on the fi eld. It was great to have her in the spring as she earned her teammates re-spect with her play. Kaitlyn has a great understanding of the game. We’re looking for big things from her.”

Dailor comes to Asheville from Castiac, Calif., where she had a solid prep and club career.

“Amanda will give us good energy and a fantastic technical pres-ence right away,” stated Demko. “She adds another dimension of being dangerous in front of the goal. There is so much potential to Amanda, I look forward to watching this program grow with her immediate im-pact.”

MICHELLE DEMKOHEAD COACH • SECOND SEASON • MARYLAND, 1996

Michele Demko is in her second year as head coch of the UNC Asheville women’s soccer program.

Demko, a former standout at the University of Mary-land, came to Asheville after working at the University of Nebraska as an assisant coach.

She replaced Michele Cornish, the Big South’s and UNC Asheville’s all-time winningest coach.

“When we began to look at the applicants for this posi-tion, we were determined to fi nd a Champion in Athletics and a Leader in Life,” declared Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone. “Michelle fi t our vision perfectly. She has been a champion on the fi eld both collegiately and professionally. Michelle has also coached at two outstanding universities. We believe she will do an exemplary job leading our wom-en’s soccer program.”

Demko has been at Nebraska for three years and served as the Huskers recruiting coordinator. Nebraska has posted three straight winning seasons and improved its win total each year.

Before coming to Nebraska, Demko spent four years with North Carolina State, helping to improve the Pack from a record of 9-9-1 in 2003 to a record of 11-9-1 in 2006.

Before her stint at N.C. State, Demko played professionally with the Philadelphia Charge. She was selected in the eighth round (63rd overall) by the Charge and

played two seasons in the WUSA, leading Philadelphia into the WUSA Founders Cup semifi nals twice.

Demko also had a successful professional career over-seas, spending three years in Germany in the competitive Frauen Bundesliga for the SC Klinge Seckah, FSV Frankfurt and Bayern Munich.

She was a starter for all three teams and led Bayern Munich to a league championship. In addition, Demko cap-tured a national title, while playing with the W-League’s Maryland Pride from 1994 to 1996.

Demko, who played soccer at the University of Mary-land under former U.S. National Team Coach April Hein-richs, was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 50th Anniversary Women’s Soccer Team. While playing at Mary-land, she served as a two-year captain and was voted MVP by her team. She also earned fi rst-team All-ACC honors.

Demko played in three Olympic Festivals (1994-96), as well as being called into national team training camps in 1995, 1996 and 1997. Demko also owns a cap with the U.S. Women’s National Team while playing against Germany in 1997.

A native of Largo, Fla., Demko received a bachelor’s de-gree of science-kinesiology from Maryland in 1996. Prior to her arrival at Maryland, she played soccer at Barry Univer-sity in Miami Shores, Fla. She helped lead Barry to the 1992 NCAA Division II national title as she scored in the champi-onship match against Adelphi.

What People Are Saying About Michelle Demko

“Michelle Demko is one of the brightest and best female head coaches I have observed coaching. She is passionate about the game, cares about her players and is a fabulous role model for all. Student-Athletes will push themselves and each other while playing for Michelle at UNC Ashville.”

April Heinrichs, Former Head Coach at Maryland/Former United States National Team Coach

“Michelle will do a terrifi c job at UNC Asheville. She brings incredible experience as a former professional player and during her tenure at Nebraska. She proved herself to be an excellent recruiter, a creative and disciplined coach, and most of all, she brings her outstanding character and passion which will become the foundation of her program at UNC Asheville. We will miss her at Nebraska but we are excited to follow her progress with her new program.”

“I am more than excited to have Mary join the staff,” said Demko. “She was among the best players in the ACC and was a huge reason for Maryland’s success. Her work ethic sets her apart on and off the fi eld and brings immedi-ate credibility with the players having played profession-ally.”

Casey played both defender and goalkeeper during her playing career and was an All-ACC fi rst team selection in 2008. She was named a team captain at Maryland her se-nior season and helped lead the Terrapins to an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the 2009 NCAA Tournament.

The 1995 UNC Asheville team won the Big South Conference championship and set a school record for wins with 16. The Bulldogs won the title by upsetting nationally-ranked UNC Greensboro, 1-0 in the championship match.

3333

When the 2006 season started for the UNC Asheville women’s soccer team, Michele Cornish’s club would not carry the role of favorite for the fi rst time in two seasons.

The Bulldogs were coming off back-to-back regular season championships in 2006. The 2004 and 2005 teams had been expected to be good and accomplished a great deal with their titles. Only one thing was missing from those teams and that was a Big South Conference tournament championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

There wasn’t much hope that the Bulldogs would be able to get that tournament title and trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2006. UNC Asheville was a preseason pick to fi nish in fi fth place and had graduated the core of its championship teams. There were some key players returning but a lot of younger players were going to have to step up for the Bulldogs to have a winning season.

Asheville entered the Big South Conference Tournament as the fi fth seed and without the pressure of being the top seed from the previous two seasons. The Bulldogs were 8-6-2 and had a nice year considering they lost their starting goalkeeper early in the season and at times were struggling to score goals.

The fi rst game in the tournament would be a tough one as fourth-seeded Birmingham-Southern would be the opponent. The Panthers were in their fi nal year of Division I and wanted to go out a winner. They had beaten the Bulldogs, 1-0 early in the season at Greenwood Field.

A strong Asheville defense led by senior Sara Pahl and junior Kate Barrow kept the Panthers at bay. But the Panthers’ defense was tough as well and kept the Bulldogs off the scoreboard. The match moved into a second overtime period and it looked like penalty kicks would decide the match. However, Robyn Busha had other ideas. She took a pass from Juliana Duncan and headed the ball into the back of the goal in the 107th minute to send the Bulldogs to the semifi nals for the fi fth straight year.

The semifi nals would be a match with top-seeded Winthrop. The Lady Eagles were gunning for revenge against Asheville. The Bulldogs had ended Winthrop’s season the past three years and it had never beaten UNC Asheville. The regular-season champs scored early and began to dominate the match in the fi rst half before settling for a 1-0 lead.

But again Asheville’s defense would tighten up and keep Winthrop off the scoreboard. The Bulldogs began to play better and then got a big break to tie the game early in the second half. On a corner kick, the ball was knocked into the goal by an Eagle player to knot the match at 1-1.

The Bulldogs were then able to strike again late. Busha sent a perfect pass to Joy Haynes. The junior forward used her speed to get loose for a breakaway. She was able to push the ball into the back of the net and suddenly the Bulldogs led 2-1 with four minutes left. Asheville was able to hold off one more Winthrop charge and the Bulldogs were in the title game for the second straight year and fourth time in the last fi ve seasons.

The Big South Championship match had been a real source of frustration for Cornish and the Bulldog program. This was the sixth time Asheville had advanced to the title game and only had one victory to show. The Bulldogs would face Liberty once again for the title and once again Asheville’s defense was up to the task. The Flames would control play but could not get a shot past Lazar. The match would go through regulation tied at 0-0 before heading to overtime.

It would stay scoreless as each team’s defense would not allow a goal. The Bulldogs’ dream of a trip to the NCAA Tournament would come down to Penalty Kicks.

Lazar stopped two of the Flames tries, while Duncan, Carter and Busha gave Asheville a 3-2 lead. The freshman goalkeeper stopped one more Liberty attempt and now the Bulldogs were one made PK away from a championship. Freshman Meagan Bradham would be the Asheville player to take the kick. She buried it into the back of the goal for a 4-2 PK win and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The MVP of the tournament was midfi elder Ashleigh Carter. She was the heart and soul of the Bulldogs. Carter had a solid freshman year but had been sidelined for much of the next two years with injuries. She was never close to 100 percent during her senior season but played on and helped get the Bulldogs a championship.

Also making the all-tournament team were defenders Sara Pahl and Kate Barrow plus midfi elder Juliana Duncan. The Bulldogs’ defense allowed just one goal in 307 minutes of play in the tournament.

Asheville then wondered who it would play in its fi rst NCAA Tournament appearance. The Bulldogs found out the next day that they would take on eventual national champion and national power UNC Chapel Hill later in the week.

2006 BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS

The 2006 Big South Conference Champions

3434

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.

UNC Asheville Ranked Among Nation’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report UNC UNC Asheville received high marks in the 2011 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” rankings released on August 17. UNC Asheville ranked fi fth among National Liberal Arts Colleges in “The 2011 Up-and-Comers” list, which highlights schools with “the most promising and innovative changes.” This select list leads the overall rankings in the 2011 edition of the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” guidebook, which will be available on-line August 17 and on newsstands August 24. UNC Asheville was also one of only 25 universities in the nation to make the U.S. News & World Report list of “stellar” schools for undergraduate research/creative projects. UNC Asheville, Duke, and UNC-Chapel Hill are the lone North Carolina representatives on this list. UNC Asheville, which founded the National Council for Undergraduate Research more than 20 years ago, has made this roster annually since it began nine years ago. In addition, UNC Asheville was included on the list of 39 National Liberal Arts Colleges with the strongest commitment to undergraduate teaching. U.S. News & World Report’s overall rankings include a number of factors, including fi nancial support from alumni, grades and test scores of incoming freshmen and admissions selectivity along with the quality of instruction and curriculum. UNC Asheville was ranked sixth among public institutions in the National Liberal Arts Colleges category and number 158 in the category overall. Again this year, UNC Asheville was recognized by U.S. News & World Report for affordability as measured by student debt. The university ranked 14th among National Liberal Arts Colleges for least debt among graduating students. This is consistent with fi ndings from other leading college rankings services. The 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges,” issued in July, called UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” In January, Princeton Review named UNC Asheville to its “Best College Values for 2010” list.

UNC Asheville Named One of the 50 “Best Value” Public Colleges in the U.S. by Princeton Review

Rising costs in today’s challenging economy has pushed up the price of everything from gas to groceries. But there are still great values to be found in higher education, according to “Best Value Colleges for 2010” ranking released today from the Princeton Review. UNC Asheville was among just 50 institutions nationwide named to the “Best Value” Public Colleges list. The Princeton Review also published a 50 “Best Value” Private Colleges list, for a total of 100 colleges in all. UNC Asheville was the only college or university in Western North Carolina to make the list. This is the fourth year that UNC Asheville has been selected by the Princeton Review as one of the 50 best value public colleges in the country. According to the Princeton Review, the schools that made the “Best Value” list are “fi rst-rate institutions offering outstanding academics at a relatively low cost of attendance and/or generous fi nancial aid.” The Princeton Review praised UNC Asheville’s growing national academic reputation, noting that the University provides “students a private school experience at a public school cost.” It also favorably notes the University’s numerous academic options, small class size and strong focus on the liberal arts. The ranking applauds UNC Asheville’s accessible faculty and the diverse offering of student activities both on and off campus. The Princeton Review selected the top 100 institutions as its “Best Value” choices for 2010 based on its surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private colleges and universities. The selection criteria covered more than 30 factors in three areas: academics, costs of attendance, and fi nancial aid, using the most recently reported data from each institution for the 2008-09 academic year.

UNC Asheville consistently ranks as one of the nation’s best values in higher education. It has made the Fiske Guide to Colleges’ “Best Buy” list for the past 16 years and is among the Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s 100 best value public colleges and universities. And according to U.S. News & World Report’s current college rankings, UNC Asheville is among the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation whose students graduated with the least debt in 2008.

Dr. Anne Ponder became the sixth Chancellor of the University of North Caro-lina Asheville in October 2005.

Chancellor Ponder is a native of Asheville and a lifelong educator. She earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She began her academic career at Elon College (now Elon University) in North Carolina, where she was the fi rst woman and fi rst pre-tenure professor to receive the Daniels-Danieley Award for Excellence in Teaching. During her nine years at Elon, she taught English and communications, and founded the college’s Honors Program.

She later joined Guilford College in North Carolina, where she was an associate professor of English and interdisciplinary studies and served as associate academic dean. At Kenyon College in Ohio, she served as professor of English and drama, academic dean, adding ‘vice president for information technology’ to her portfolio.

In 1995, she was selected to become president at Colby-Sawyer College, a private liberal arts college in New London, N.H., where she would serve for ten years.

At UNC Asheville, Chancellor Ponder has led a campuswide collaboration resulting in a fi ve-year Strategic Plan and then imple-mented an administrative reorganization that focuses University resources on the Strategic Plan’s highest priorities. As part of that strategy, the UNC Asheville campus now serves as the new na-tional headquarters for the Council of Public Liberal Arts Col-leges.

Chancellor Ponder is a nationally known expert on institu-tional effectiveness, strategic planning, and fundraising and re-source development. She has been a frequent faculty member of Harvard University’s Institutes for Higher Education, and has writ-ten a chapter on strategic planning for the book “Leading Ameri-ca’s Branch Campuses,” edited by Samuel Schuman and published by the American Council on Education.

In addition to serving the University, Chancellor Ponder is a member of the Mission Hospitals Audit Committee and the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. She also serves as a member of the Asheville Community and Eco-nomic Development Alliance.

Janet R. Cone is in her eighth year as Director of Athletics at UNC Asheville. Since arriving in 2004, she has led the Department of Athletics through a fi ve-year strategic plan that has resulted in improvements in the student-athlete experience, resources for coaches and staff, facilities, competition levels and increased community support.

Last year, Chancellor Anne Ponder appointed Cone to the newly-created position of Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. In this position, Cone will oversee the North Carolina Center for Health and Wellness, manage specifi c community relationships and serve as a member of UNC Asheville’s fundraising team. She will continue as a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Staff and assist Chancellor Ponder in more closely aligning the university with the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement.

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 600 student-athletes have made the club during Cone’s seven 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 will dramatically improve the facilities in which UNC Asheville’s Bulldog student-athletes compete and train. (1) 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. (2) Renovation and repairs to the Karl Straus Track began in the spring of 2009 and should be completed in the next year. Cone helped raised more than one million dollars in private funding for the track project. (3) Cone negotiated a partnership with the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort for construction of a new Bulldog tennis facility which has indoor courts, composition courts and six hard courts that each Bulldog team played in the past two seasons.

She has also been a leader in the Asheville community. Last year, Cone helped create the Asheville Sports Commission which helps bring athletic events to Buncombe County. She worked closely with the commission to help bring the Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament back to Asheville starting in March of 2012 with some of the games being played at Kimmel Arena.

The 2007-08 year was another outstanding year for Cone and the Department of Athletics. The men’s basketball team was co-regular season champions of the Big South Conference and earned 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.”

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.

UNC Asheville is proud of its bulldog heritage. Today, Rocky, in all of his forms serves as a rallying point for fans far and wide.

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.

What is the difference between an offi cial visit and unoffi cial visit?After opening day of classes of the prospect’s senior year, the prospect may take fi ve offi cial visits to different Division I or II schools. Before the visit, the prospect must present a high school transcript, proof of SAT, ACT, PACT, PSAT test to UNC Asheville, register with the NCAA Eligibility Center, and be placed on the Institution’s IRL. An offi cial visit may not occur if the prospect is not registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Offi cial visits are paid in part and extended by UNC Asheville coaches only. All visits must be comparable to normal student life.

Prospects may make unlimited number of unoffi cial visits and may visit UNC Asheville anytime except during a dead period. Prospects are solely responsible for all expenses of unoffi cial visits. However, prospects may receive three com-plimentary admissions to any home athletic contest, excluding Big South Confer-ence Post Season Tournaments.

What is the NCAA Eligibility Center?It is the agency that certifi es both a prospect’s academic and amateur eligibility for Division I and II. A prospect should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at the beginning of their senior year in high school. Visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website for registration information.

“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!”
