ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The UNC Asheville baseball team is a preseason pick to fi nish in fi fth place in the Big South Conference’s South Divi-sion. The poll was announced by the league offi ce on Wednesday.

Defending Big South Champion Coastal Carolina was a unani-mous selection to win the South Division as it received all 12 fi rst-place votes and 72 points. Gardner-Webb placed second with 48 points, ahead of Charleston Southern who picked up 42 points. In fourth was Winthrop with 36 points and in the No. 5 slot was UNC Asheville with 28 points. Presbyterian College closed out the voting for the South Division with 26 points.

With a record 12 members in 2013, the Big South has added di-visional play in baseball for the fi rst time since 1985-87. Liberty is the preseason favorite to win the North Division with Coastal Carolina earning the plaudit for the South Division.

The Flames received seven top votes and 67 points to take the top spot, followed by Campbell who notched one top bid and 55 points. High Point’s four No. 1 votes and 53 points rounded out the top three in the North Division. Radford found itself at the No. 4 spot with 39 points, while VMI fi nished fi fth with 22 points. New Big South member Longwood rounded out the list for the North Divi-sion with 16 Points.

The Big South baseball season begins on Friday, Feb. 15 with 11 teams in action. The 2013 Big South Baseball Championship is slated for Tuesday, May 21-15 at the Liberty Baseball stadium in Lynchburg, Va.

Asheville is coming off a 25-30 season in 2012. The 25 wins are the most for the Bulldog program since the 2006 Big South-champi-onship season. Tom Smith’s club went 12-12 in Big South Conference play and fi nished in a tie for fourth place in the league standings de-spite being picked to fi nish in last place.

“We proved the pollsters wrong last year, and we’re looking for-ward to trying to do it again this year,” stated Smith. “I really like the team we have coming back this season and have added some depth that should help us compete better this season.

“We’ve got a solid nucleus returning,” added Smith. “I like the experience we have back and these guys have worked very hard in the off-season and in the fall. We’re looking quite forward to the 2013 season beginning.”

The Bulldogs return 17 letterwinners from last year’s club, in-cluding fi ve starters and two of its weekend starters on the mound.

Asheville opens the 2013 season on Feb. 15 when the Bulldogs take on #11 Kentucky in the USC Upstate/Wofford Invitational at USC Upstate.

The 2013 season will be Hall of Fame coach Tom Smith’s fourth year as head of the UNC Asheville baseball program.

In 2012, Smith directed the Asheville program to 25 victories and a fourth-place fi nish in the Big South Conference. The Bulldogs were a preseason pick to fi nish in last place but recorded 12 league victories, the second highest in the program’s history. Asheville recorded two wins at NCAA participant College of Charleston plus an exciting 12-inning win over Western Carolina to highlight the season.

The 2011 campaign saw Smith guide the Bulldogs to 15 victories and won a Big South Conference series from league champion Coastal Carolina for the fi rst time in eight years. Asheville also picked up its fi rst ever sweep of mountain rival Western Carolina.

In his fi rst year, the Bulldogs moved from nine wins to 17 victories. Asheville was a preseason pick to fi nish in last place in the Big South Conference. The Bulldogs used a late-season surge to fi nish in seventh place and qualify for the Big South Tournament. Smith’s club won fi ve straight conference games to move from 10th place to the seventh spot. Other highlights included an impressive non-conference victory over Southern Conference champion College of Charleston plus win-ning conference series from Liberty and Charleston Southern.

He has served as a volunteer assistant coach at Asheville in 2008 and a part-time assistant in 2009 before being named head coach.

Before coming to UNC Asheville, Smith was one of the top high school coaches in the nation at T.C. Roberson HS in Asheville. He coached the Rams program for 28 years and led the school to three 3-A state titles in 1983, 2000 and 2002. The Rams won 14 conference titles during his tenure.

“Tom Smith is a proven leader with tremendous desire who will di-rect our baseball program forward,” stated Director of Athletics Janet R Cone upon Smith’s hiring. “He has the knowledge of the game of baseball and is a proven recruiter.

“We are confi dent that Tom Smith will get the job done with our baseball program in the classroom and the community,” stated Cone. “We are equally as confi dent he will lead our program to being just as competitive on the fi eld.

Smith had 20 players drafted by major league teams during his time at Roberson. The list includes pitcher Darren Holmes who went to pitch 17 years in the major leagues, current left-hander pitcher Chris Narveson of the Milwaukee Brewers and outfi elder Cameron Maybin of the San Diego Padres, who was drafted in the fi rst round in 2005. In January of 2010, January Smith was inducted into the North Caro-lina Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The Association is made up of coaches of amateur baseball throughout the state. Smith was honored by Roberson in May of 2012 when he was named to the school’s Ring of Honor. Tom and his wife Karen have two children, Kenny and Katie. Kenny enjoyed a standout collegiate career at UNC Wilmington and West-ern Carolina. He served as a volunteer assistant for two years at Asheville before being hired by MEAC power Bethune-Cookman in the fall of 2011.

Former Ball State assistant coach and former Winthrop standout Jeremy Plexico joined Tom Smith’s coaching staff in July 2012. He re-places Aaron Rembert, who left in June to take the head coaching position at Mars Hill College.

“We’re delighted to have Jeremy Plexico as a part of our program,” stated Smith. “Jeremy enjoyed an outstanding career as a player both in college and in pro ball. He’s picked up a lot of experience in coach-ing and is going to help our program in a lot of different ways. We’re glad that Jeremy’s a Bulldog.”

Plexico, a native of Chapin, S.C., had been at Ball State the past two years. In 2011, he helped the Cardinals post an 11-15 record in Mid-American Conference play. Under his guidance, junior right-hander Cal Bowling posted a career-high four complete games, which led the MAC in 2011. Bowling’s 89.2 innings worked ranked eighth in the MAC.

Plexico spent the 2010 season as the pitching coach at Young Harris College (Ga.) where he helped the Mountain Lions to a 39-17 over-all record. Under his tutelage, freshman left-hander Mitchell Knox earned All-Conference honors while posting an 8-3 record with 48 strikeouts compared to just 20 walks.

Plexico was a left-handed standout at Winthrop where he earned Third Team All-America honors as a senior in 2003 after leading the Big South Conference with an 11-3 record. He appeared in 17 games and posted a league-high fi ve complete games while logging a 2.90 ERA in 108.2 innings pitched. As a junior, he had a 9-5 record with a 4.38 ERA in 109 innings of work. He had transferred to Winthrop from the University of South Carolina.

Plexico excelled not only on the playing fi eld at Winthrop but in the classroom as well. As a senior, he was voted by the Big South Con-ference’s sports information directors as the league’s Male Scholar Athlete of the Year. Also, he earned the Winthrop Senior Academic Award for the highest GPA for a senior male and Big South Presiden-tial Scholar accolades.

Plexico was drafted out of Winthrop in the 19th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Montreal Expos. In his fi rst professional stop, he tied for the Vermont Expos’ team lead in victories in the short-season New York-Penn League in 2003.

In 2004, he had one of his best years posting an (8-5) record with six saves and a 2.63 ERA. He also struck out 102 batters in 82 innings while holding opponents to a .195 batting average. After having shoulder surgery in December 2004, Plexico started an impressive 2006 season with Potomac of the Carolina League, posting a 3-0 record and a 1.93 ERA out of the bullpen before being promot-ed to Double-A Harrisburg. He made 34 appearances for Harrisburg and posted a 4-3 record with a 4.00 ERA. He also made 43 appear-ances, including 40 out of the bullpen, in 2007 for the Senators. Plexico returned to his role as a starter in 2008 when he joined the Gary Southshore Railcats of the Northern League. He posted a 10-3 record with a 2.79 ERA while being named the Northern League Pitcher of the Year. He held opponents to a .250 batting average while striking out 68 batters and walking just 32. His 135.1 innings pitched led the league, while his 2.79 ERA was third. He was also the winning pitcher for the Northern League All-Star Game and was named to Baseball America’s All-Independent League Second Team. Plexico received his bachelor’s degree in history in 2002 and his mas-ter’s degree in teaching (social studies) in 2008 from Winthrop.

“The team and I are quite excited having Coach Walsh as a part of our pro-gram,” stated Smith. “His energy and knowledge of the game have made prac-tices and scrimmages much more challenging. He’s doing a great job working with our infi elders and hitters and I can already see a big difference in our execution and production.

“Coach Walsh was part of a great program at College of Charleston,” added Smith. “His experience is a real asset to our program.”

Walsh coached at the College of Charleston for four seasons. He served as the infi elders coach and assisted with the hitters. He also coached third base during his tenure. The Cougars won 156 games during Walsh’s time in

Charleston and received at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2012.

Walsh started coaching as an assistant at Richland Northeast High School, and the Cavaliers won two South Carolina 4A Lower state titles, a 4A State Title and numerous region titles during his tenure. Before coaching at the College of Charleston, Walsh served as the head coach at Ben Lippen HS in Columbia, S.C. where he led the Falcons to two state championship series and one state title in his three years in charge. In the summer and fall, he has served four years as a head coach for the prestigious fi ve-time national champion South Carolina Diamond Devils pro-gram. He and his wife Jennifer and had their fi rst child, Gideon, in May 2012.

BRENT WALSHASSISTANT COACH - FIRST SEASON

Former Bulldog second baseman Jordie Lurie is helping the UNC Asheville program this year as a student assistant.

Lurie was a valuable player for the Bulldogs during his career. His best season was his junior year as Jordan led Asheville in total bases (91), at bats (229), runs scored (34) and hits (75). He was second in hitting with a .339 average. The Ohio native was the only Asheville player to play in all 52 games, earning 51 starts. He started and played in 49 games last year and hit .294 with 10

doubles and helped lead the Bulldogs to a fourth-place fi nish in the Big South Conference. “We’re delighted Jordan is with us this year,” said Bulldog head coach Tom Smith. “He was a hard-worker who played hard every day he wore an Asheville uniform.”

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.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY As the University of North Carolina at Asheville celebrates eighty years of excellence in higher education, the campus community welcomes new challenges and greater successes as one of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges. From its beginnings as Buncombe County Junior College, where 86 students enrolled in 1927 to further their educations beyond high school, the University has valued liberal arts ideals and community engagement. Its special commitment to student learning and undergraduate education was reaffi rmed when it joined the University of North Carolina system in 1969 as the University of North Carolina at Asheville. The University maintains its liberal arts imperative, as the designated undergraduate liberal arts University of the 17-campus University of North Carolina system.

Vision

UNC Asheville students, within a diverse and inclusive community, experience liberal arts education at its best.

Mission

UNC Asheville is distinctive in the UNC system as its designated liberal arts university. Our practice of the liberal arts emphasizes the centrality of learning and discovery through exemplary teaching, innovative scholarship, creative expression, co-curricular activities, undergraduate research, engaged service, and practical experience. Primarily undergraduate, UNC Asheville offers a liberal arts education characterized by high quality faculty-student interaction. We offer this challenging educational experience to all promising students who are committed to liberal learning and personal growth.

Our liberal arts educational approach emphasizes life skills including critical thinking, clear and thoughtful expression, and honest open inquiry. Students undertake concentrated study in one area while simultaneously developing an understanding of the connections among disciplines. We encourage students to clarify, develop and live their own values while respecting the views and beliefs of others. In addition, we cultivate an understanding of the dimensions of human diversity while recognizing the common humanity of all. We believe a quality liberal arts education enables our graduates to be lifelong learners and to lead successful, fl ourishing lives as leaders and contributors to their communities.

At UNC Asheville, we respond to the conditions and concerns of the contemporary world both as individuals and as a university. We incorporate economic, social and environmental sustainability into our institutional practices and curriculum. With a range of associated centers, partnerships, and initiatives, we fulfi ll our public responsibility to address the needs of our community through a continuum of learning. We develop a commitment to continuing service characterized by an informed, responsible, and creative engagement with the Asheville area, the southern Appalachian region, the state of North Carolina, and a diverse and increasingly connected world.

Alma Mater

In 2000 the university community set about the task of writing a new Alma Mater—the offi cial anthem of UNC Asheville, sung at all ceremonial events—to replace the one from the 1960s. In Latin, alma mater means “nourishing mother,” and it also refers to the school one attended.

Hail Our Alma Mater, Hail UNCA.

Learning be your watchword,Greatness be your way.

High upon the mountains,In the Land of Sky,

Stands our Alma Mater,Lift your voices high.

Noble Alma Mater,Hear our words of praise.

May we love and honor you,Until the end of days.

Dr. Anne Ponder became the sixth Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Asheville in October 2005. She began her tenure by leading a campuswide collaboration to create a dynamic and viable fi ve- to seven-year strategic plan and revised mission statement.

With this focus, UNC Asheville has made major strides as a national leader in the liberal arts and has become a one of the top choices for students seeking a rigorous and multi-faceted educational experience.

During her tenure, the university was chosen as the fi rst national headquarters for the Council of Public Liberal Arts Col-leges and several majors in Religious Studies and Anthropology have been added to the curriculum. Dr. Ponder has encouraged innovative collaboration that resulted in a UNC-Chapel Hill satellite pharmacy education program. Building new partnerships with local governments, scientifi c agencies and non-profi t organizations have resulted in agreements with Mission Hospital Sys-tems, the City of Asheville, the Renaissance Computing Institute and others for enhanced learning and research opportunities for students and faculty. This emphasis on collaboration, one of Chancellor Ponder’s hallmark traits, also led to the cultivation, with other campus and community leaders, of some of the largest multi-million donations in the university’s history.

Chancellor Ponder oversaw the largest building projects in UNC Asheville’s history, including New Hall classroom building; Sam Millar Facilities Management Complex; Zeis Science and Multimedia Building; and the Wilma M. Sherrill Center, which houses the North Carolina Center for Health & Wellness and the Kimmel Arena. In each of these projects, environmental sustainability has been a key feature, as dictated by the university’s strategic plan. These green efforts – combined with countless others across campus – have earned the university a host of awards, including repeated recognition as one of the lowest energy consuming agencies in the state.

A strong advocate for community service, Dr. Ponder is a member of the Mission Hospitals Audit Committee, the Asheville Community and Economic Development Alliance, the Children’s Welfare League and the WNC Community Foundation’s Women for Women. She also is a board member for the non-profi t Kendal Corporation.

Before becoming Chancellor at UNC Asheville, Dr. Ponder served for 10 years as president of Colby-Sawyer College, a private liberal arts col-lege in New Hampshire. Prior to that appointment, she held teaching and administrative posts at Elon College (now Elon University), Guilford Col-lege and Kenyon College.

Chancellor Ponder, who holds a doctorate in English from UNC-Cha-pel Hill, is a nationally known expert on institutional effectiveness, stra-tegic planning, and fundraising and resource development. She has been a frequent faculty member of Harvard University’s Institutes for Higher Education and wrote the chapter on strategic planning in the American Council on Education’s book “Leading America’s Branch Campuses.”

A native of Asheville, Chancellor Ponder is the daughter of the late Eleanor and Herschel Ponder, both of whom trace their Asheville family roots to the 1780s. She is married to award-winning writer and publisher Christopher Brookhouse.

Janet R. Cone is in her ninth year as Director of Athletics at UNC Asheville. She also serves the school as Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. This past year was highlighted by the men’s basketball team’s winning the Big South Conference championship for the second year in a row. The Bulldogs set a school record for conference and overall wins. Asheville advanced to the NCAA Tournament where it nearly pulled off one of the greatest upsets in NCAA history when the 16th-seeded Bulldogs lost a close game to top-seeded Syracuse. In addition, the school successfully hosted the Big South Conference men’s basketball tournament with a national television audience and sellout crowd watching the championship game in the school’s brand-new Kimmel Arena. Cone oversaw the successful opening of the Wilma Sherrill Center which houses the Kimmel Arena. She worked to bring the top-ranked UNC Chapel Hill men’s basketball team to open Kimmel against the Bulldogs in a game that was nationally televised. That game was also sold out. The Sherrill Center had more than 100,000 visitors the past year as its hosted various events

from concerts to graduation.

Other successes included the men’s tennis team’s fi nishing in second place in the Big South Conference, its highest league fi nish ever, the volleyball team’s advancing to the semifi nals of the Big South Tournament for the eighth time in the last nine years, and the women’s tennis, men’s tennis and women’s track and fi eld teams being honored for their work in the classroom.

Cone guided the athletic department through a successful certifi cation process by the NCAA. In addition, she brought back women’s swimming as a varsity sport for the fi rst time in more than 35 years.

In the 2010-11 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.

Three years ago, Chancellor Anne Ponder appointed Cone to the position of Senior Administrator for University Enterprises. In this position, Cone oversees the Sherrill Center, manages specifi c community relationships and serves as a member of UNC Asheville’s major gifts team. She is a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Staff.

In 2009, Cone helped to create the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission to bring athletic events to the Asheville area. Her leadership helped secure the return of the Southern Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournament to Asheville in March 2012.

Student-Athletes have excelled in the classroom under Cone’s leadership. In 2004, she created the Athletic Director’s 3.0 + Club which recognizes student-athletes who make a 3.0 or better grade point average each semester. More than 900 student-athletes have made the club during Cone’s nine years, and in 2009-10, a record number of student-athletes earned that distinction.

During that same time period, more than 800 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 earned this impressive academic distinction.

Cone has overseen construction projects that have dramatically improved the facilities in which UNC Asheville’s Bulldog student-athletes compete and train. (1) The Wilma Sherrill Center/Kimmel Arena was completed in the spring of 2011. Funded partly through a $35 million state appropriation, Cone helped raise more than $ 7 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, attract major speakers and performances, and have a new home for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. (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 were completed in the fall of 2009. The facility has been the home of Bulldog men’s and women’s tennis for the past three seasons, and this past spring hosted the Big South Conference men’s and women’s tennis championships 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. 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 t from each and every day.”

In 2006-07, three different UNC Asheville teams won Big South Conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. In May 2006, the baseball team completed an amazing run with its 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 topseed UNC Chapel Hill in the College Cup. In March 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 website, 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 the spring of 2006, Cone was named to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Issues Committee. In September of 2008, she began a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. In July 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 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.

In the spring of 2006, she was named as an Outstanding Executive Manager by the Asheville-Buncombe Excellence in Public Service.

Cone is extremely active in the community, and in the summer of the 2006, she helped lead a group of community leaders to bring the Big South Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament to UNC Asheville’s Justice Center in 2007 and 2008. Cone also initiated the “Our Turn to Play” women’s luncheon for local business, civic, and community leaders the past two years. In addition, Cone was recognized as one of 10 Women to Know in Western North Carolina.

Cone came to Asheville from Samford University where she served as the fi rst head women’s basketball coach beginning in 1996. She coached the Bulldogs for fi ve seasons and, in 1999-2000, the team posted a 19-10 record. Cone was named Assistant Athletics Director before being promoted to Associate Athletics Director in 2003.

Prior to Samford, Cone served as the fi rst full-time Assistant Athletics Director, and the head women’s basketball and volleyball coach at Saint Leo University in Florida. She also directed basketball programs at Western Carolina University and Mars Hill College. Cone began her career as a teacher and coach in Gilbert, South Carolina. She coached against UNC Asheville eight times in her career and had a 5-3 record against the Bulldogs.

Cone was born and raised in Summerville, S.C. She was a four-year letterwinner on the basketball team and was an all-conference performer at Summerville HS for two years. Cone was inducted into that school’s Hall of Fame in 2007. 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.

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.

“UNC Asheville is a point of pride for this community, as an alumnus and business owner. We are proud to support the athletics department and student-athletes as they represent our community and bring attention to WNC.”

--Rich Davis ’93, Jan Davis Tire Store

“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!”

--Pat Britz ’90; former men’s soccer player
