A new era for the UNC Asheville women’s basketball program begins with the 2012-2013 season.

Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick, a standout player at Wake Forest and an assistant coach at successful programs such as Charlotte, Jacksonville, Georgia Tech and the University of Florida, became the program’s new head coach on May 7, 2012.

The head coaching position at Asheville is also a homecoming for Kirkpatrick. She’s a native of nearby Waynesville and enjoyed a stellar prep career at Tuscola HS as she was named Region Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons.

“I’m delighted to be at UNC Asheville,” stated Kirkpatrick. “It’s nice to be back in the mountains and so close to friends and family.”

Kirkpatrick is looking forward to the challenge of returning the Bull-dog program to the top of the Big South Conference. Asheville fi n-ished last season with a 7-23 record and 3-15 mark in the league. In the history of the Big South, only four schools have won league titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs program ac-complished that in 2007.

“I want to return Asheville women’s basketball to the top of the Big South, while making this program something this university, our ath-letic department and the entire city of Asheville will be very proud of,” stated Kirkpatrick. “It won’t be easy, but we have a lot of things going for us at UNC Asheville that will make it a little easier.

“We have a great school and athletic department that graduate our student-athletes at a high rate and prepare them for the next step in life after their athletic careers are completed,” she added.

The Bulldogs return most of their team from last season that strug-gled with some key injuries throughout last season. Asheville has four starters and 10 letterwinners back, including center Kelli Riles, who fi nished 12th in the nation in rebounding; sophomore guard Shonese Jones who earned Big South Freshman of the Year honors; and sopho-more forward Leah Wormack, who made the Big South All-Rookie team.

“I’m really pleased with the effort of our team,” stated Kirkpatrick. “Everyone has bought into what we want to do and what we’re trying to accomplish.”The fi rst-year coach sees some potential strength in the post.

“We have some post depth and have some size,” admitted Kirkpat-rick. “We have some players up front who opponents are going to have to worry about, and that should help our perimeter game.”

A big concern for the Bulldogs in the early part of the season is inju-ries, especially in the backcourt.

“We’ve got to get healthy,” explained Kirkpatrick. “We have Grace Blaylock and Brittany Gwyn out at the start of practice, and that really hurts our perimeter presence. Hopefully, we can get both of them healthy once the season starts, and that will make a difference.”

Kirkpatrick would like to see her team play an up-tempo style this

season, but the Bulldogs must adopt an aggressive style on both of-fense and defense.

“We’re going to need to play better defense than we did last season,” said Kirkpatrick. “A big key to our defensive improvement is we need to have an aggressive tone. We need everyone to be aggressive on defense and that will get our offense going. We’ll be able to create of-fensive opportunities off that and play the way we want to play.”

Kirkpatrick is excited about her fi rst year in Asheville.

“I’m really looking forward to the season,” declared Kirkpatrick. “I’m enjoying the UNC Asheville experience, and everyone here has been a big help to our program.

“I believe we’ve hired a great coaching staff that shares the same vi-sion that I do, and all of us are working hard to make that vision come through,” added Kirkpatrick.

Grace Blaylock is one of the top three-point shooters in the Big South

GUARDS

As mentioned above, the Bulldogs need to get healthy in the back-court. Senior guard Grace Blaylock was hurt for the last half of the 2011-12 season but played through the pain. She’s been sidelined with a knee injury as practice began, but the Bulldogs are hopeful she will return once the season starts.Blaylock is one of the best three-point shooters in the Big South. She knocked down 46 last year, including a school-record seven at Win-throp. Blaylock averaged 5.1 points per game and had 50 assists plus 31 steals. She’ll also be one of the leaders of this year’s club.

5/// F E A R T H E D O G ///

“Grace has a high basketball IQ. She understands the game, and we’re going to need her out there this year,” stated Kirkpatrick. “Grace has phenomenal range on her outside shot and is a good passer. We’re go-ing to want to put her in situations this season where she can stretch the defense with her range. She’s also very vocal on defense and holds her teammate accountable.”

Sophomore Brittany Gwyn just never could get healthy last year. She missed the fi rst six games of the season with a mouth injury. Gwyn was able to play in December and gave the Bulldogs an immediate lift with her play. She averaged 8.5 points per game and was shooting .476 (10-of-21) from beyond the arc. Gwyn injured her knee in January and missed the fi nal 13 games of the season. Asheville could only win one more game without her the rest of the year.

Shonese Jones was the Big South Freshman of the Year last season

“We’d really like to get Brittany healthy and in the lineup this season,” admitted Kirkpatrick. “She can play either guard spot and contribute on the wing. Brittany is an excellent passer along with being one of our better defenders. She’s a player her teammates will rely on to make plays.”

The Bulldogs are excited to have sophomore guard Shonese Jones returning. The former Brevard HS standout shook off a slow start to her freshman season and became Asheville’s leading scorer with a 15.6 average. She also led the team in three-pointers made (53) and steals (40). The Big South honored her as its Freshman of the Year.

“Shonese is an aggressive scorer who is a triple threat to score from the perimeter spot,” stated Kirkpatrick. “She’s embracing our defen-sive philosophy and is working hard on her defense. Shonese knows

she needs to play both ends of the fl oor. What’s great about her is that when the game is on the line, she wants the ball in her hands and wants to take the last shot of the game. We’re expecting a lot out of Shonese this season and are confi dent she’s ready to deliver.”

Sophomore Tacey Trammell gave the Bulldogs a lift at times last sea-son. She averaged 3.9 points per game and was second in assists with 61.

“Tacey is embracing her role as a fl oor leader. She’s learning that the point guard is an extension of her coach,” commented Kirkpatrick. “Tacey’s working hard to improve her ball-handling skills and being more consistent from the three-point line. She has an outstanding work ethic and is getting better with each day.”

Asheville has two freshmen competing for playing time in the back-court this year. Start with 5-8 rookie Paige Love from Wilkes Central HS in North Wilkesboro.

“Paige has already established herself as one of the hardest workers in our program,” said Kirkpatrick. “She’s one of our better guards defensively and fi ts into our aggressive style of play. We’re glad to have her on our team.”The other freshman in the backcourt is 5-11 guard Marissa Riles from Lake Norman HS in Mooresville.

“Marissa brings us some size on the perimeter,” explained Kirkpatrick. “She’ll help us rebounding and give us some depth in the backcourt.”

FORWARDS

One of Asheville’s three seniors is 5-10 forward Gentry Manley. The Asheville native is a walk-on who has steadily improved during her career and became a key inside player for the Bulldogs last season. Manley played in all 30 games and earned six starts. She averaged 5.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game and shot .485 (64-of-132) from the fi eld.

“Gentry has a phenomenal work ethic,” commented Kirkpatrick. “She’s one of the toughest players we have on our roster. In addition, she’s a great leader who works well with her teammates. We look for Gentry to play inside at the strong forward spot. We’re confi dent that she’ll make plays inside and help us rebound.”

Sophomore Jeannie Buckner could play on the wing this season as her size (6-0) could help the Bulldogs out there.

“Jeannie is another hard worker who we hope to put in situations to be successful this year,” stated Kirkpatrick. “We think she has the ability to make three-pointers that will help spread the fl oor and help our inside game.”

Blake Cokes, a 6-1 junior, played in 19 games last season and showed some promise. However, she is another Bulldog battling a preseason injury.

“Blake is one of our strongest players,” admitted Kirkpatrick. “How-ever, she’s battling through a hip injury right now. Blake will give us some defense in the paint and provide depth to our inside game.”

Gentry Manley gave the Bulldogs a real lift inside last year

Tyler Smith is a 5-11 freshman forward from St. Mary’s Ryken in Port Tobacco, Md.

“Tyler is a mobile post player who is not afraid to mix it up,” said Kirkpatrick. “She has a nice shot and some range with her shooting. We could use her to knock down some outside shots for us this year.”

Kelli Riles led the nation in rebounding early in the season

CENTER

The Bulldogs have a chance to be pretty good in the pivot spot this season with some talent returning.

Senior Kelli Riles led the nation in rebounding for much of the fi rst part of the season and set a Big South record with 28 rebounds against USC Upstate last December. She also had 24 rebounds in the opening game against Winston-Salem State. Riles fi nished the year averaging 8.3 points and 10.6 per game. She shot .506 from the fi eld (87-of-172) for the season.

“Kelli has embraced her leadership with this team and she under-stands that this is her senior season,” explained Kirkpatrick. “She is one of the most talented rebounders I’ve ever seen. Kelli also does a great job attacking the basket and drawing fouls. We need her to be more consistent this season and to be a lock-down defender.”

Sophomore Leah Wormack showed a lot of promise last season. She started in 23 straight games and was named Big South Freshman of

the Week three times. Wormack was Asheville’s third leading scorer with a 10.6 mark and second in rebounding at 5.3. She missed the fi nal six games of the year with an injury but is healthy for the upcoming campaign.

“It’s obvious that Leah is a good low-block scorer. We want her be at the free throw line more this year and be a little more consistent overall,” stated Kirkpatrick. “She’s a player who will give us great en-ergy and will be a force our opponents will be worried about. Leah’s play will open things up for our perimeter game.”

Abra Sickles, a 6-4 junior, has worked hard in the off-season, and that has paid off, according to Kirkpatrick.

“Abra is one of the most improved players we have in our program,” commented Kirkpatrick. “She’ll present match-up problems for our opponents. We need her to be a great rebounder this season and play good defense. She’s going to get an opportunity to play this year.”

Freshman Rachel McGirt comes to Asheville via Jordan HS in Dur-ham. The 6-1 rookie center will provide depth in the post.

“Rachel brings size, energy and a great work ethic,” declared Kirkpat-rick. “She’s a good teammate who is working hard on her defense and giving us a presence on the boards.”

Leah Wormack was Asheville’s third leading scorer in 2011-12

BRENDA MOCK KIRKPATRICKHEAD COACH • FIRST SEASON • WAKE FOREST

Waynesville native and former Florida assistant coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick is the new head coach of the UNC Asheville wom-en’s basketball program.

Kirkpatrick joins the Bulldog program after serving as an assis-tant to Amanda Butler at the University of Florida for the past fi ve years. She has helped lead the Gator program to fi ve consecutive post-season berths, including two trips to the NCAA Tournament.

The former Tuscola HS standout succeeds Betsy Blose, who was reassigned following the Bulldogs’ 7-23 season last year.

“I am extremely excited to welcome back Brenda Mock Kirk-patrick to Western North Carolina,” declared Director of Athletics Janet Cone upon Kirkpatrick’s hire. “We believe Brenda is the perfect choice to lead the women’s basketball program at UNC Asheville.

“When we began to look at the applicants for this position, we were determined to fi nd a Champion in Athletics and a Leader in Life,” added Cone. “Brenda fi ts our vision perfectly. She has been a champion both as a player and a coach and has coached at four out-standing institutions.”

“Being entrusted with the head women’s basketball position at UNC Asheville with the combination of stellar academics and suc-cessful athletics is such an honor. I am so grateful to Chancellor Pon-der and Janet Cone for choosing me as the next leader of this pro-gram,” stated Kirkpatrick. “I am also grateful to head coach Amanda Butler and my entire Florida family for helping me prepare for the work ahead.”

“Returning to Western North Carolina after being away for 16 years is a very special moment for me,” Kirkpatrick added. “Under Janet Cone’s leadership and inspired by her energy, Asheville con-tinues to make strides in all facets of its athletics programs. I am particularly impressed by the high quality of student-athletes that call UNC Asheville home and their outstanding graduation rate. It dem-onstrates a high level of commitment from the athletic department as well as the university to prepare our student-athletes for the next step in life after their athletic careers are completed.

“The city of Asheville is one of the most beautiful and unique places on the East Coast, and I cannot wait to be a part of this com-munity,” she also said. “I look forward to working hard to return Asheville women’s basketball to the top of the Big South, while mak-ing this program something this university, our athletic department and the entire city of Asheville will be very proud of.” Before going to Florida, Kirkpatrick worked at Charlotte for two years when Butler was the head coach of the program. During their two years together in Charlotte, the 49ers compiled 40 wins, cap-tured a share of the 2006 Atlantic 10 regular-season championship and earned a pair of postseason berths. Kirkpatrick broke into the coaching ranks for the 2002-03 sea-son at Georgia Tech under then-head coach Agnus Berenato, help-ing the Yellow Jackets win 20 games and earn a bid into the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in program history. Berenato departed following that record-setting campaign for the University of Pittsburgh, while Kirkpatrick remained on staff in Atlanta for 2003-04 before heading to Jacksonville. A successful collegiate playing tenure afforded Kirkpatrick the opportunity to play professionally in France for Nantes-Reze 44 dur-ing the 2001-02 season before launching her coaching career. Kirkpatrick earned a bachelor’s of arts in history and sociology in 2000 and a master’s of arts in education in 2001 from Wake For-est University. She enjoyed an outstanding career in Winston-Salem, where the two-time captain averaged 7.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest during her four-year career. As a senior in 2000-01, the six-foot forward garnered honorable mention All-ACC honors after contributing 10 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. During her time as a Demon Deacon, Kirkpatrick was a fi rst-team academic all-dis-trict selection and a four-year member of the ACC Student-Athlete Honor Roll. Despite having to take a medical redshirt (ACL) for the 1996-97 season that delayed her collegiate debut, Kirkpatrick did not miss a game during her four-year career, appearing in all 111 contests and earning 57 starts.


31/// F E A R T H E D O G ///

The daughter of Weaver and Brenda Kirkpatrick, she is most of-ten referred to as ‘Coach Mock’ or ‘Mock,’ which is her middle name, and also her mother’s maiden name.

A native of Waynesville, Mock graduated from Tuscola High School in 1996 as a decorated student and athlete. While maintaining a 4.2 grade-point average, she lettered in softball and volleyball in ad-dition to her stellar hoops career, where she was an honorable men-tion All-America selection by Street & Smith and USA Today in 1995 and 1996, while setting two state records for free throws: most in a game (25-of-25) and most consecutive (39), totaling 51 points in the game she hit 25 free throws. Kirkpatrick was the Asheville Citizen-Times Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons. She played for John Best at Tuscola in basketball.

What People Are Saying About Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick

“I’m so excited and proud for Brenda to have received this op-portunity, she’s earned it. For me personally, she added to my value as a head coach to have had an assistant like her. She worked very, very hard to recruit the type of student-athlete that Jeremy Foley and all of Gator Nation expects and did a fantastic job of developing those people into the type of players who compete and win at the highest level while doing so with a really high level of energy and integrity. I’m happy that her work has been noticed. UNC Asheville is getting a good one in Brenda.”

Amanda ButlerHead Coach, University of Florida

“Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick is one of the top recruiters in the Southeast! She is a tireless worker and a winner! Brenda is a bright young star in this profession and will be a great head coach.” Machelle JosephHead Coach, Georgia Tech “Intelligent, loyal, passionate, a motivator, a leader, a teacher, sin-cere, honest, team-oriented, and a tireless worker - these are just a few of the qualities the UNC Asheville community will come to know about their new women’s basketball coach, Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick. She had all those qualities, and more, as a student-athlete at Wake Forest University. Brenda is the right coach at the right time for UNC Asheville.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The championship was almost 30 years ago but will never be forgotten by Bulldog fans.

1984 NAIA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS


55/// F E A R T H E D O G ///

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BULLDOGS IN THE BIG SOUTH


63/// F E A R T H E D O G ///

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

The Bulldogs picked up their fi rst ever Big South Conference championship with an exciting 67-57 title-game victory over second-seeded Radford before a packed crowd of 1,281 fans at Justice Center

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

--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!”
