HEAD COACH
Derek Pittman
Coaches
Arkansas State Head Coach Derek Pittman begins his third season with the ASU soccer program after coming to Arkansas State prior to the 2007 season. Pittman, an assistant coach for the University of Missouri’s women’s soccer program for the three years prior to coming to Jonesboro, worked primarily with goalkeepers and defense at Missouri. He assumed his duties at ASU Jan. 4, 2007. One of the first things Derek Pittman had on his agenda when he arrived at Arkansas State University was to install a rallying cry for the Red Wolves soccer program - “Building A Winning Tradition”. Pittman hit the ground running when he arrived at ASU, immediately installing a strong offseason conditioning program and setting up a competitive spring workout schedule which pitted ASU against both in-state and out-of-state opponents. Pittman has posted an 8-24-4 record while at the helm of the ASU program including posting ASU’s first win over Middle Tennessee State, which was also the program’s first win over a conference foe in four years. Also during the 2008 season the ASU program set nine records individually and as a squad. Along with the player’s accomplishments

Coaches
The 35-year-old Pittman joined the Missouri staff in 2004 after spending the 2003 season at the University of Georgia. He was responsible for coaching the Tigers’ goalkeeper to career bests in shutouts and saves as well as the team to season bests in shutouts and fewest goals allowed. At Georgia, he was responsible for the Bulldogs’ recruiting in addition to his coaching duties. While there he coached the goalkeeper to career bests in wins, shutouts, and goals against average. In 2003, the Bulldogs finished 13-10-0 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. A 1998 graduate of Tulsa, Pittman also served as a graduate assistant coach for the school’s men’s soccer program from 2001-03. Under his direction, Tulsa’s goalkeepers had career bests in saves, shutouts and goals against average in a season. During the 2002 season, the Hurricanes were ranked 12th nationally and fifth in the Midwest Region. Pittman, who is licensed by the United States Soccer Federation with a USSF "B" coaching license, has also coached on the club level including stints with the Pride Soccer Club of Missouri, the Tulsa Soccer Club of Oklahoma and the Little Rock Futbol Club of Arkansas. As a four-year letterman, he was the starting goalkeeper at the University of Tulsa from 1993-96 and was a second-team Missouri Valley All-Conference pick in 1995. As a senior, the Hurricanes were ranked in the top 25. Professionally, Pittman played for the Barrow Amateur Football Club in England while studying at Lancaster University. After training with the Division I Sheffield United and Burnley Football Club, he returned to the United States and played with the Columbus Comets and the Savannah RugRatz in the Eastern Indoor Soccer League. Pittman, originally from Owasso, Okla., received his bachelor’s of science degree in business administration from Tulsa and has done graduate work in education toward his masters degree. He is married to former Amber Swinehart, who was an All-Big XII player at Missouri. Pittman and his wife Amber have a daughter, Emma, who is five months old.

ASSISTANT COACH
LISA BERG Beginning her second season with the ASU Soccer program, Lisa Berg was named assistant soccer coach at Arkansas State University Aug. 9, 2008. Berg comes to ASU from Minnesota, where she served as a volunteer assistant for the last two years with the Golden Gopher soccer program. Berg was an Academic All-Big 10 player for the Golden Gophers from 2003-05 and helped rebuild the Minnesota soccer program during her time as a player and assistant coach. While at Minnesota, Berg helped lift the Gopher program from the bottom of the Big 10 to a consistent qualifier for the conference tournament in a league that annually sends multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament. “I am very excited to have Lisa on board here at Arkansas State,” said Pittman. “She brings a ton of energy and enthusiasm. She also brings a great amount of experience to ASU after being involved with a top program at Minnesota. I think that having that big-school mentality will help our players realize what it takes to continue to raise our program to the next level.” “Lisa is fantastic at community service,” added Pittman. “She continues to find ways to get our kids out in the community and help raise the awareness of soccer in the Jonesboro area.” She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2006 after majoring in Kinesiology/Pre Physical Therapy, with minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Berg currently holds a USSF National C Coaching License and while in Minnesota worked with the St. Croix Soccer Club, the North Suburban Soccer Club and the East Select Soccer Club. She also worked with the Minnesota Olympic Development Program. “My experience with helping to rebuild the program at Minnesota and seeing the processes involved with that will really fit well with Arkansas State,” said Berg. “There is so much potential here with the facilities, staff and community support. The players have bought into wanting to build a really solid program as well. Coach Pittman and I work well together, have similar ideas, and will complement each other as a staff.”

COACH PITTMAN SAYS: “Mallory is a simple player that does the fundamentals of the game very well like dribble, pass, shoot, which often times can be underestimated but are important qualities that she offers our team. The biggest thing I love about Mal is the fact that she rarely gives the ball away and in soccer that is very important. She isn’t flashy or tricky but when playing in the midfield you need someone like her that can simply be a link from the defense to the offense.

ASHLEY MCMURTRY
EMILY MIZELL
COACH PITTMAN SAYS: “Ashley Mac is a dynamic individual that will add some much needed depth and athletic ability to our forward line next season. She has the speed, skill, and scoring ability that will earn her playing time right away. She has the ability to not only score but also the vision to set her teammates up with the perfect pass or cross for an assist. That soccer awareness and versatility will give us the opportunity to play her up front in an attacking role or even in the midfield if needed. Ash is going to be a fun player to coach and is a great addition to our team.”
COACH PITTMAN SAYS: “Versatility and quickness come to mind when I talk about Emily and what she will be able to do for our team next fall. Originally, we recruited her to come in and play as an outside back, but we know that she has the tools to possibly play as a wide midfielder or even a wing attacker. She is an extremely intelligent individual on and off the field, and is constantly finding ways to improve her game. We fully expect her to come in and be a spark in whatever role we ask her to fit into. Emily will be an exciting player to watch next fall.”

Inside Season Outlook ........................................................46
2009 Season Outlook
In their 10th season the Arkansas State soccer team will look quite a bit different when they take the field for the 2009 season with nine newcomers joining the pack. Adding to an already talented group of returners ASU will have a very young group, with only five upperclassmen on the roster. The primary goals for third-year head coach Derek Pittman is to raise the level of expectation of the Red Wolves soccer program. Incorporating so much young talent may look like an issue to some coaches, but, for ASU the challenge of incorporating the youngsters is a blessing in disguise. With the high-energy pressing offense that ASU plans to run they will need the athleticism, durability and depth that the new players add. With so many players in their rotation it will allow them some anonymity and allow them to keep opponents off guard. ASU also set an attendance record for the second straight year last season and there is a buzz around the Jonesboro Area about the Red Wolves soccer program. “We definitely have raised the level of expectation and will be trying to get more from this team than we have from teams in the past. We feel this team is going to be a group of kids that can put not only more wins on our overall record but can help us to compete at a much higher level within our conference,” said ASU head coach Derek Pittman. “I think the goal for us this year is to do the best we can to mesh our younger kids with our older players. We have a great crop of sophomores and juniors that are returning. We needed to improve our overall athleticism, durability and increase our depth so that we have the opportunity to use as many players as possible to play the style of soccer we want to. We hope to force our opponents to adjust to us, as opposed to us adjusting to them as we have in the past. One of our main goals is to score more goals than we have in the past and
Erin McKenna
keep opponents off balance more so than what we have been able to in years past. Our team goal is to make the conference tournament, as it has been since we have been here, I feel we have a group of kids that will allow us to do that.” The Red Wolves were picked to finish in 10th place by the other Sun Belt Conference coaches in the SBC preseason coaches’ poll. ASU plans to improve on that prediction and make the Sun Belt Conference tournament for the first time since the 2004 season. Although last season wasn’t what the ASU program expected as far as winning percentage, the team showed lots of improvement statistically in their first year playing under the Red Wolves banner. NEWCOMERS ASU welcomes nine newcomers to the squad who will add a competitive spirit to the team. This crew is full of confident, skillful athletes so expectations will be high. Goalkeeper Susan Brown will push immediately for playing time while Chelsea Fricke is a fast, athletic player that will also vie for a starting position. Jill Fuerman, Mallory McGilvray and transfer Karly Kuranda will add some attacking flair to the ASU midfield. Ashley McMurtry, Lucy Brient and Tory Pitts will also add to the rotation up front for the Red Wolves. Emily Mizell will also push for time in the back line of the ASU defense. “In a lot of ways this group of freshman brings a level of competitiveness and expectation that we haven’t had in the past, they are very confident, skilled and athletic,” said Pittman. “Being able to add them to an already strong core of kids is very exciting to us and I feel it gives us the opportunity to put players in spots where they can be successful. I think that if you look at these

GOALKEEPERS Megan Stoltzfus returns for her sophomore campaign after
Megan Stoltzfus
turning in 13 appearances with a 3-7-2 record in 2008. Stoltzfus posted a 1.71 goals against average which placed her second on the ASU single-season chart and made 74 saves with a shutout for ASU. Brown will be added to the mix and will challenge for playing time in goal with Stoltzfus. “We are excited to have Stoltzfus back this year,” added Pittman. “She worked very hard in the spring to work on her mobility and her overall decision making in goal. She is a great shot stopper, communicator and really organizes our players well from the back line moving forward. Her ability to make big saves and come up with big time shot stops helps our team. Her and Susan Brown will definitely battle it out for our starting spot.”
2009 Season Outlook
kids as individuals Susan Brown is a great goalkeeper and is going to come in and compete with Megan Stoltzfus immediately for the starting spot. Her experience with the Canadian NTC program as well as her club experience she will help us develop some solid play at the goalkeeper position. Looking at Chelsea Fricke who is very fast and very athletic she is going to be a great addition to any number of slots across our defensive group. Emily Mizell will help us add depth. We look for Jill Fuerman and Mallory McGilvray to add our center midfielders and our transfer Karly Kuranda will really help us as a player and add vision to our midfield as we try to connect passes.” “We are looking to press as much as possible but once we win the ball we also want our midfielders to be able to keep control of the ball and connect four or five passes so we can take advantage offensively. Up front, Ashley McMurtry, Tory Pitts and Lucy Brient are going to do a great job for us to keep teams under pressure. Brient is a very skillful kid who likes to dribble towards people but is also very strong in the air and can score goals off corners and set plays. Pitts is just a tremendous work horse. We are excited to see how she wears down opponents as she works hard to score goals, she is just a difficult player to play against. McMurtry is a player that will come on and give us great depth. She can play centrally or out wide and she is very good passer and has a solid amount of pace so that she can use to run at defenders and score goals. Overall we are excited about this freshman class, certainly one of the more talented ones that we have brought in from top to bottom; we expect all of them to contribute immediately.”
DEFENDERS Lots of ASU’s leadership will come from their back line where they have captains’ Mary Geels, Erin McKenna and midfield convert Stasha Siers directing the teams efforts. With the three captains junior Miranda Wiley and speedy sophomore Lizzy Niles return to the back line. Niles had a successful summer playing with her club team and was also invited to the Region II Olympic Development Program. With the addition of Chelsea Fricke, sophomore Lindsey Moore and freshman Emily Mizell the ASU defense will be deeper than it has been in a few years. “We have a great group of defenders returning for us. Mary Geels, Erin McKenna and Miranda Wiley return from our starting group last year and will offer us some stability. Stasha Siers will also make a move to the center back position,” added Pittman. “Geels is a very mature player, she works extremely hard from the back and if we don’t hear her we know we are missing something. Wiley had a great year for us last year stepping in after

Lizzy Niles

2009 Season Outlook
she transferred. We are hoping that she comes back and has a great season. McKenna led our team last year in minutes played is going to be another solid player for us.” “Lizzy Niles will also return for us at the right back position. She had a great summer playing for her club team and went on to regional camp and is competeing to make the Region II ODP team. She is continuing to develop every day. She is a kid that we originally scouted as a forward but we have turned into a defender and it has been exciting because within our system and the formation that we play is designed so that our outside backs are expected to attack. They have to be able to provide us width and help us move forward and Lizzy has the engine, speed, quickness and skillfulness to help us in attack. Along with Stasha Siers, Chelsea Ficke, Lindsey Moore and Emily Mizell, we have a lot of depth with eight kids competing for those four starting spots across our back line so it definitely helps having that number of players training every day to help us get through the season.” MIDFIELDERS ASU will get some much needed experience from its midfield in senior Amy Koss and sophomores Megan Mace and Lyndsey Patterson who both saw extensive experience as freshman. Adding to the mix will be Jill Fuerman Mallory McGilvray and Karly Kuranda who will each add some attacking flair and some good defending abilities to the ASU midfield. In their standard 43-3 scheme ASU will need to have their midfielders be able to attack for goals while also helping shore up their defense. “Playing our 4-3-3 we have got a couple players, three in particular returning, Amy Koss, Meghan Mace and Lyndsey Patterson, bring a lot of experience. Mace and Patterson played a significant role last season and we look for them to improve even more this season, we are excited to see what they bring. They played all summer with their club teams and came in very fit,” commented Pittman. “We hope that they will be able to come in and give us a good defensive presence while also helping us in the attack to try to posess the ball and get into the offense. Players that will come in and challenge at midfield are Jill Fuerman, Mallory McGilvray and Karly Kuranda. We have a good rotation of six players at the midfield so that will help us keep players fresh as well as give opponents different looks depending on how our team is playing that day.”
FORWARDS ASU will be returning four of its top six scorers up top from last season in junior Anna Kaloghirou, and sophomores Kara Nitti, Michele Clark and Kai Gear. Kaloghirou is ASU’s most experienced attacker owning eight career goals. Kara Nitti will return to top form this season after missing seven games with a knee injury. Although she missed part of the season Nitti returns as the top goal scorer from last season with six goals. Kai Gear also returns for ASU having ranked no. 2 last season in goals scored with five. Add sophomore Michele Clark to that list who scored two goals and led the team with three assists during her freshman campaign and ASU has a wealth of attacking players back in the hunt for a conference tournament berth. Sophomore Tracy Powell will have an expanded roll this season with freshmen Lucy Brient Tory Pitts and Ashley McMurtry also in the mix for ASU up top. “Up front, we are returning four players from last years team, in particular Michele Clark and Anna Kaloghirou have a lot of experience. Kaloghirou is a great player who has a great engine and works hard to get in position and uses her athleticism to try and score goals and set up assists,” added Pittman. “ We need her to be more hungry and confident in front of the goal and if she does that there isn’t any reason why she won’t score five or six goals for our team this year. Michele Clark is a very creative player who loves to serve crosses as well as get on the ball and finish in and around the box. Someone we are very excited to have back is Kara Nitti who led us in scoring last year before going down with an injury. She is back 100-percent and we expect her to have another great year. Tracy Powell is a kid that came off the bench for us last year and we expect her to have a bigger role this year in our offense as long as we can keep her healthy through the season. In addition we have Tory Pitts, Ashley McMurtry and Lucy Brient adding to that roster of kids up front who we expect to rotate all six or seven of these players in every game. We are hoping with our high-pressure style and the attacking mentality we expect each one of these kids to see playing time in every game. It won’t be surprising for us to put 18 or 19 players in every game.”

2008 Statistics
INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS
At first glance, the 4-12-2 record that the ASU women’s soccer team posted during the 2008 season may look like a sub-par year. What is lost in the worksheet is the competitiveness of the players, effort that was left on the field, and the fact that ASU improved its overall competition against some of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference.
2008 In Review
With the exception of two games, ASU was within only one or two goals of every loss and played every opponent very well, including earning a win at home in SBC competition against eventual third-place league finisher Middle Tennessee (2-1), while earning ties against UALR and Louisiana-Monroe.
It’s great to know that we have the type of players that have that attacking mentality, now it is just a matter of finding the right system and style of play to put those players in an environment where they can showcase all of their abilities and be successful and flourish in every game.” Michele Clark stepped up in at the midfield position and solidified the play of the ASU front line by leading the team with three assists, while also notching a pair of goals for the Red Wolves, including the game-winner against MTSU.
“Looking back on the 2007 season, we were coming in here trying to get the kids to believe in themselves and trying to change their culture,” added head coach Derek Pittman. “In 2007, we had several losses that were 5-0, 6-0, but this year, we weren’t out of any games, with only a few exceptions. We were much more competitive and were definitely able to disrupt the flow of our opponents with our style, which is something we weren’t able to do before.”
“I feel like we were much more competitive and much more prepared to give ourselves the opportunity to be successful against any given opponent,” said ASU head coach Derek Pittman. “Looking back at the year, we were much more talented across the board not just athletically but skillfully,” said Pittman. “Even our tactical understanding of what we were trying to accomplish was much better. It is definitely encouraging that we were able to start five or six freshman in every game, knowing that those kids are going to be coming back with a year of growth underneath their belts and will be able to continue to move this program in the right direction.” On an individual level the Red Wolves saw four players score over four goals, which is much improved from the 2007 squad which had only one player achieve that mark. Freshmen Kara Nitti and Sofia Turesson scored six goals to lead ASU in the category while freshman Kai Gear had five goals scored and local sophomore Anna Kaloghriou, for the second straight year, had four goals. “We knew that one of the things that we needed to address after 2007 was that we needed players that could score goals,” said Pittman. “It is encouraging that we were able to address those needs through our recruiting.
“Lizzy Niles at right midfield or right back continues to be an athletic, fun, entertaining player to watch. Kara Nitti scoring the goals that she did this season, we expect great things from her as she comes back from injury. Other players like Kai Gear and Megan Stotlzfus both stepped up and did a great job in their respective positions. We need to get Kai healthy and once we do that she will be able to contribute on a more consistent basis because she is going to be a very dangerous player on our team. And Stoltzfus coming in as a freshman and taking all those responsibilities in goal she did a very good job for us and will improve as her years go on.” One of ASU’s goals through an overall program is to change the players’ mentality, building a winning-mentality and trying to develop an environment of excellence. As ASU moves into its off-season the Red Wolves have already started looking to the 2009 season in its post season development and have taken on a “Training for November” mentality, according to Pittman. They are looking to 2009 to challenge for the SBC Championship and training for the ability to be a factor in November.
ASU set a number of records during the 2008 season and moved in a positive direction for a young squad that is still looking for its niche in the competitive world of Division I women’s soccer. The Red Wolves set records in total points (84), points per game (4.67), assists (28), assists per game (1.56), shot attempts (228), shots per game (12.8), goals allowed (38) and attendance, averaging 249 fans per home date which is an average of 68 more fans than the previous record set in 2007.
dependable, solid person in our center midfield. It is a role that she is adjusting to, but her ball winning in the air and on tackles has been very helpful. I think as she settles in and becomes more comfortable she will be a bigtime player for years to come here.
Eleven ASU players notched multiple assists on the season, which was a vast improvement from the 2007 squad which saw only three players record more than one assist and six total players record a stat in that category. Senior captain Chelsea Hopkins made the move to left back in defense for the Red Wolves after playing mostly at the midfield position. Hopkins led the team in minutes played at her new position and continued to improve with every game she played. Junior captain Mary Geels made a move to center-back after playing at right back her entire career and according to coach Pittman “solidified the back line and worked very hard to understand playing the center back position and was a leader on and off the field.” “As far as the future of our team, we know players like Anna Kaloghriou and Erin McKenna will continue to develop and learn how to become more tactical players, rather than just relying on their raw athletic ability to solve problems.” “Out of the rising freshmen who will be sophomores next year I feel like Stasha Siers is someone that is doing extremely well for us. We originally recruited her to be a forward and she has come in and been a fantastic,

“The teams that are playing in November are those teams that are challenging for conference championships and NCAA bids,” said Pittman. “That’s what we are working towards.” “We scheduled a fairly difficult spring season, because I think it is time for our players to step up and play against better competition. We want to continue to have success winning, but we also want to measure ourselves against the teams that we want to play against. It’s not going to help us to go out and beat someone 7-0, we need to go out and continue playing against teams that are going to challenge us and push us to be a better program.” “Assistant coach Lisa Berg and I are very excited about the direction this program is headed,” concluded Pittman. “We feel like we have in place the players and the personnel to be competitive in this conference. I think that as long as we continue working hard and training hard that there is no reason why we can’t accomplish our goals which are to make the conference tournament and be more competitive in our conference. We hope to finish in the top eight of the SBC next year and after that continue to build on that by moving up the standings each year. I think we are headed in the right direction, we saw that in the competitiveness of our team and our ability to score goals against some of the better teams in our conference. We will to get better in 2009 and expect that it will be a breakout year for the Red Wolves soccer program.”

welcome to arkansas state university
Those who have not visited the campus of Arkansas State University in the last five or 10 years would be shocked at the school’s appearance today. So much on campus is tied to athletics. ASU Stadium is the gathering site for Saturdays and excitement surrounding each game can be felt for miles. The sights, the smells, the sounds of football. There is so much construction and new projects on campus. The school looks . . . and is . . . a modern educational institution that has kept up with technology and student needs as much, if not more, than most schools in the nation. A student center addition anchors the campus and a new student recreation and wellness center is on the way. New campus housing has recently been completed, including a “Collegiate Park” apartment complex, coastal-type soft-colored housing throughout campus, and a new dorm. There is a new Alumni Center and construction of a new overpass connecting the campus to local businesses is about to become a reality. It’s a new-look campus that is growing and improving each day. Arkansas State University is an extremely valuable part of Northeast Arkansas and surrounding areas. On the following pages are portraits of the campus, of the people and areas which strengthen the university and those who are involved with its growth. Welcome to Arkansas State!

The College of Business is the home of the Delta Center for Economic Development. The Center will coordinate the economic development outreach services of the university and provide a coordinated and comprehensive approach to serving the businesses, governments and citizens of the Arkansas Delta. The opportunity to create the new center came when a $1,000,000 grant from the Economic Development of Arkansas Fund Commission was received.
Beautiful apartment housing constructed in the coastal style of the Gulf Coast or tropical islands cover the east side of campus.

Arkansas State University continues to thrive and expand. The University is constantly undergoing changes in its look, its increased enrollment and its expanding academic programs. The last few years have seen extensive physical changes, including more housing, a parking garage, a new and refurbished student center, and there are more changes on the books for the near future. ASU is emerging as one of the leading universities in the South when it comes to preparing its graduates for the world’s challenges.
Located next to the pond that lies close to the Pavilion, and just southwest of ASU Stadium, ASU’s new alumni center recently opened. It’s presence adds another dimension to football game day. Arkansas State’s alums will be able to incorporate game-day activities in a centralized area.

Arkansas State University was established April 1, 1909, as a “public school of agriculture” by Act 100 of the Arkansas General Assembly. It was located at Jonesboro because citizens of the city bid $40,000 to the state and pledged 200 acres of land as a site. After a century of growth, ASU-Jonesboro now has an annual budget of some $122.6 million, owns more than 3,000 acres of land in five different counties, has a physical plant valued at almost $200 million, and has an alumni roll exceeding 53,000. ASU’s rapid development over the years has been typical of other major universities in an emerging modern South. From an agricultural high school in 1909, to a junior college in 1918, to a fouryear degree-granting institution in 1930, to a university in 1967, ASU has become regionally respected and nationally recognized for its qualities of teaching, research and service. The ASU system includes campuses at
Beebe (White County), Mountain Home (Baxter County), and Newport (Jackson County) where associate degree programs are offered, and at Marked Tree, Searcy and Heber Springs. A new campus is being built for ASU-Heber Springs. An instructional site is located at Paragould. The Jonesboro campus, which occupies 942 acres amid the gentle slopes of Crowley’s Ridge in east Jonesboro, is located between the vast and fertile Mississippi River Valley and the cultural and scenic richness of the Ozark Mountains. More than 10,000 students annually work toward degrees in 141 areas of specialization at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Fifteen undergraduate degrees are offered through the Colleges of Agriculture, Business, Communications, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Nursing and Health Professions, Sciences and Mathematics, and the University College. The Honors College was instituted July 1, 2004, evolving from the Honors Program.
The Arkansas Biosciences Institute opened in 2004. The $20 million facility is dedicated to multi-disciplinary research to fulfill purposes outlined in the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement.

Since its opening in January 2001, the Fowler Center has quickly become the region’s home for performance and visual arts presentations of the highest caliber, as well as for special civic and community events. Its location is just south of the Convocation Center.

Fifteen master’s and two specialist degrees are offered, as well as doctoral degrees in educational leadership, environmental sciences, and heritage studies. Pre-professional programs are offered in nine areas. The bachelor’s degree programs with the most graduates are early childhood education, business administration, management information systems, accounting, nursing, agricultural business, and finance. The top graduate programs, based on number of degrees awarded, are business administration, education administration-elementary principalship, reading education, educational administration-secondary principalship, communication disorders, nursing and physical therapy. New academic programs are introduced as needed to respond to the rapid changes in our society. For instance, the athletic training program is the only such accredited program in the state. Academic strength has been enhanced with the Distance Learning Program which extends ASU’s educational influence across the nation. Also, ASU offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and upper level courses at ASU-Beebe, ASU-Mountain Home, and ASU degree centers in three Arkansas cities—Blytheville, Forrest City, and West Memphis—where partnership agreements have been established in cooperation with the community colleges in those cities.

ASU offers challenging, fully-accredited programs and a prestigious 600-member faculty with a vast number holding doctorates from other major institutions. Some faculty are nationally known for teaching, research and service in the sciences, humanities and professional fields. Arkansas State University’s commitment to excellence in higher education is demonstrated by its accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, as well as 18 specialized accrediting organizations. ASU’s reputation toward excellence has been established in part by student performance in national competition, such as a nationally ranked debate team, and by the success of its graduates. The underlying principle of learning at Arkansas State University is its tradition of changing to meet the needs of its students and the society in which they live and work. Arkansas State University continues to grow and prosper because the university plans ahead for the needs of students. A recent example is the Horizon Institute of Technology, created in the College of Business with a major gift from alumna Dr. Kathy Brittain White. The institute will provide opportunities for students, faculty, community and business leaders to expand their capabilities for providing solutions and increasing productivity with technology.

ASU in Jonesboro has received the largest single donation in its history, a charitable gift of $14,508,342 from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The gift was utilized to construct a three-story health sciences building (left) just northeast of the Student Union/Reng Student Services Center that will open in September. The Donald W. Reynolds Center covers over 50,000 square feet and will house the Speech and Hearing Clinic, nursing and nurse anesthesia skills laboratories, large and small classrooms, computer lab, dedicated research spaces and special project rooms.
Arkansas State’s new student union is identified by a new fountain. The fountain was provided by Chi Omega Sorority and serves as a beautiful landmark to enter the building.

Following the success of Collegiate Park, a 336bed luxury apartment complex on the north side of campus, ASU also erected Indian Village Apartments, which accommodates up to 100 families. The new $29 million Student Union has taken prominent place in the center of campus, with the first portions opening in the spring of 2004. The second phase of the project was complete renovation of the existing Reng Center. Students and visitors enjoy a new dining hall, meeting facilities, student leadership offices, bookstore, computer labs, a food court and many other features. A new track and field complex has been completed on the south side of the campus. The $2.7 million facility features a 400-meter track facility, including venues for NCAA track and field events. The academic enterprise at ASU was enhanced with the addition of the $20 million Biosciences/Biotechnology Building. This facility was dedicated to multi-disciplinary research to fulfill purposes outlined in the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement. Several other projects which involve new construction or improved facilities are in various stages of planning and development, including a liberal arts classroom building in the heart of the campus and the recently completed Cooper Alumni Center. A groundbreaking ceremony for a new student recreation and wellness center was also held this past spring.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the $18 million ASU Student Recreation and Wellness Center (above) was held April 4, 2008. The facility is designed as a 74,000square-foot structure that will house multiple amenities for students. This new recreation facility will have two levels and will be equipped to outfit an aquatics center in the future. The lower level will house approximately 17,000 square feet of cardiovascular and strength training equipment, three basketball/volleyball courts, one multipurpose activity court, office space, locker rooms, and wellness assessment rooms. The upper level will house a three-lane walking/running track, as well as meeting rooms and exercise classroom space. The Student Recreation and Wellness Center will be able to increase the number of fitness classes currently offered, as well as adding additional wellness and nutritional programming options.
Life at Arkansas State University is exciting, youthful and vibrant. There is something always happening—with the students' best interests at heart. Not only do all kinds of student events center around football and other sports, but nearly every academic discipline on campus offers societies or organizations to help spark interest. More than 160 different organizations, including social and religious organizations, are available to promote personal growth of the individual. On-campus concerts are regular events, as are cultural exhibits, plays, specialty shows and seminars. Competition is available through a challenging intramural program, and club sports are available.

Arkansas State University’s athletic programs compete in top-of-the line facilities. ASU Stadium, which opened in 1974, has evolved into a beautiful stadium which seats 30,406 fans. That includes a cluster of exclusive suites in the south end zone atop the football office complex. A million dollar video/scoreboard is the focal point in the stadium. Coaches and student-athletes moved into a new $2.7 million track and field complex in spring 2004. It contains an eight-lane 400-meter track and can be set up for two NCAA venues. Three local country clubs graciously allow ASU’s men’s and women’s golf programs to utilize their facilities for practice and play. J.A. “Ike” Tomlinson Stadium-Kell Field serves as home to Red Wolves baseball. Built in 1993, the stadium received complete lighting in 1996 and, most recently, 206 field level seats were added for the 2008 season. ASU’s newest women’s program, bowling, competes in the Jonesboro Bowling Center, a 40-lane state-of-the-art facility.
RidgePointe Country Club hosts the annual ASU Red Wolves Golf Classic
The ASU Soccer Park opened in 2001, one year after the program was installed. It is located at the north end of ASU Stadium and accommodates seating for 500. The complex also is the office headquarters for the program. The Convocation Center seats 10,038 for basketball and is the home of ASU’s men’s and women’s teams. It also is the site for women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s indoor track and field.

dr. robert potts, university campus chancellor
Robert L. Potts was appointed as the first chancellor of Arkansas State University-Jonesboro in November 2006. During his tenure, the university has recorded steady enrollment growth, reinvigorated its International Program, expanded distance learning opportunities and placed new emphasis on the institution's research mission. Recent campus construction projects include the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Health Sciences, which was made possible by the largest single gift in ASU history, the Delta Center for Economic Development, and a new 80,112 sq. ft. Student Recreation Center. Fall semester enrollment in 2008 was 11,490, and ASU-Jonesboro has more than 60,000 living alumni. Chancellor Potts' current professional leadership activities include the board of directors of the Arkansas Research Alliance; the Commission on Lifelong Learning of the American Council on Education; the board of directors of Economics Arkansas; the executive council of the President’s Council of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education; Arkansas Yellow Ribbon Task Force; and member of the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship Advisory Council. Potts has had a distinguished career in higher education, serving as the chancellor of the North Dakota University System before moving to Jonesboro. Previously, he served as president of the University of North Alabama. Earlier in his career, he served as general counsel for the University of Alabama System. Potts attended Newbold College, Bracknell, Berkshire, England, and graduated cum laude from Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, Tenn., with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He thereafter graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree, and served as an editor of the Alabama Law Review. He later graduated from Harvard University with a Master of Laws degree. Robert Potts met his wife, Irene Elisabeth Johansson, a native of Sweden, while they were students in England. They are the parents of two adult children. Julie Anna Potts and her husband Parks Shackelford live in the Washington, D.C. area, where Julie Anna is general counsel for the American Farm Bureau Federation and Parks, a native of Jones, La., currently works for Florida Crystals, a sugar cane company. The couple are the parents of twin daughters, Ella and Olivia, and one son, Duke. Robert Leslie Potts, Jr. is employed as a financial analyst by Mississippi State University. Les Potts and his wife Holly are the parents of two daughters, Claire Elisabeth and Anna Leslie, and reside in Starkville, Mississippi.
dr. dean lee, director of athletics
The Lee Family (from left) Anna Pearl, Reba, Dean and Diamond
When the Arkansas State University athletics program reaches its 100th birthday this year, Dean Lee's name will figure prominently in the celebration. ASU athletics is entering its 100th year and Lee still has a little more time to continue restoring the old and building new tradition for Arkansas State. Under Lee’s direction, the ASU athletic department enjoyed another significant year in 2008-09. Not only did ASU enjoy some of the most exciting moments ever on the fields, courts, and tracks, but also in the arenas of academics, donor and alumni involvement, community service and achievement. The 2008 AAFF’s Outstanding Athletic Director, Lee serves on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee, the BCS Athletic Directors Advisory Committee and the Division 1A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees. He has guided the athletic department to annual success academically and competitively, but last year ASU athletics once again enjoyed growth through a number of unique accomplishments and projects as well. For instance, the ASU Athletic Department received the largest single donation in its history, a $400,000 gift from Charles Luter that will be used to enhance the athletic academic facility. ASU secured an unprecedented $1 million contract for its Sept. 4, 2010 football game at Auburn, the Red Wolves set a school-record in football attendance, festivities such as Jazz in Jonesboro continued to grow and improve, the bowling team made its second straight appearance in the NCAA National Championships and two student-athletes were named Academic All-America as well. His vision for ASU Athletics was revealed in a video called “Inside A-State Athletics, which focuses on the Red Wolves athletic programs and how the athletic department plans to meet challenges in the future. As recent as 2008, 206 field-level seats and new party boxes available for corporate events were added to Tomlinson Stadium, the Convocation Center weight room underwent major renovations that included new weights and cardio equipment and Lee was instrumental in the recruitment and hiring of John Brady, who was just two years removed from an NCAA Final Four appearance, as the Red Wolves new men’s basketball coach. Those are just a few of the many ways the ASU athletic department has continued to develop under Lee, who is always looking for new and creative ways to take the Red Wolves athletic program to the next level while maintaining its main focus on academics, competitive performance and a well-rounded environment for student-athletes. Entering his eighth year as Director of Athletics, Lee is even hungrier for ASU to have continued success in all areas. He has already made great strides in enabling Arkansas State's Department of Athletics to become one of the most respected programs around. Dr. Lee became ASU's 10th Director of Athletics July 9, 2002. It wasn't long before the department began to experience important and progressive changes which were capped by an unprecedented “State of A-State” address in the spring of 2004. When he concluded the address to a packed house, there was no mistaking that he is committed to building a successful program at ASU. In a very short time, he has orchestrated sellout and capacity crowds, overseen the expansion and growth of ASU's athletic facilities, and provided sound leadership to both the athletic staff and population of student-athletes. Lee came to ASU from Oklahoma State University, where he was the Associate Director of Athletics for External Operations. His administrative experience at two NCAA Division I-A universities, OSU and the University of Arkansas, and his achievements in mobilizing financial support make him wellsuited for Arkansas State University and Northeast Arkansas. While at the University of Arkansas, Lee served as the Vice President of the Razorback Foundation. In addition, Dr. Lee's experience as athletic director at Arkansas Tech University and his familiarity with ASU and the state of Arkansas help him feel right at home. He earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 and master's in education at Henderson State University, then completed his doctor of education degree at the University of Arkansas in 1989. Although born in Tulsa, Okla., Lee competed in high school sports in Berryville, Arkansas, and was selected to play in the all-Star basketball and football games in 1975. He also played basketball, baseball and tennis at Henderson State, where he later served as an assistant coach. He played in two national championship games as a member of Henderson State’s basketball team. He was head basketball coach at Malvern High School early in his career. Dean and wife Reba are the parents of two daughters, Diamond Olivia (14) and Anna Pearl (12).

this is the sun belt conference
While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 13 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. The Sun Belt Conference enters its 34th season in 2009-10 with a proud history of athletic and academic success. The conference sponsors 10 women’s sports basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball; and nine men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduating its student-athletes at a rate higher than its respective school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansions are taking place on every campus. During the 2008-09 academic year alone, the Sun Belt Conference accomplished numerous feats. In the fall of 2008 Middle Tennessee, FIU and Western Kentucky University all represented the league in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament – the first time the Sun Belt has sent three teams to the NCAA Tournament in volleyball and the second straight year the conference has sent multiple teams. Middle Tennessee advanced to the second round of the tournament, while WKU and FIU put forth strong and hard-fought efforts in the first round. The Sun Belt momentum continued in the sport of football as Florida Atlantic and Troy both earned bowl bids after impressive regular-season performances. It marked the third time in the league’s eight-year football history that two teams have received postseason nods. FAU marked its place in the history books when the Owls defeated Central Michigan in the Motor City Bowl, becoming the first SBC team to win back-to-back bowl games. In men’s basketball, WKU received its second straight bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after winning the Sun Belt Conference Championship. The Hilltoppers secured a trip to the second round with a 76-72 win over fifth-seeded Illinois and battled to the end in a heartbreaking two-point loss to Gonzaga. It was the second year in a row that WKU defeated a higher-seeded team to advance past the tournament’s opening round. On the women’s side, Middle Tennessee captured national attention with the help of standout junior Alysha Clark. The Blue Raiders spent time in the coaches’ poll top 25. The squad earned a spot in the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament as Sun Belt Conference champions and finished the season with an impressive 28-6 record. Clark’s consistent performances earned her the title of the nation’s leading scorer as she averaged 27.5 points per game. The Blue Raiders will look to continue their success in the 2009-10 season, and with every studentathlete returning, they will be poised to make another strong showing. There was no shortage of success in the Sun Belt’s spring sports in 2009, either. Three tennis teams represented the league in the NCAA Tennis Tournaments. The Middle Tennessee men’s team and FIU women’s team both earned their places in the national competition by winning their respective Sun Belt Conference championships. The Denver women’s squad received an at-large bid after building a 16-5 regular season record, marking their second straight appearance at the event. FIU advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament following a 4-3 win over Princeton in the first round. The 2009 Sun Belt Conference golf teams picked up right where they left off after an impressive 2008 season that saw two squads advance to the NCAA National Championship after top-10 finishes at their respective regional sites. The Sun Belt followed up the strong 2008 showing by sending three teams to the NCAA Regionals. Middle Tennessee and Denver were both selected to compete at the regional events, marking the 10th consecutive year that the conference has sent two men’s teams to the postseason. The Denver women also received an automatic bid to the regionals after taking home its sixth consecutive Sun Belt crown. The Pioneer women held a national ranking throughout the entire season and capped the year with its first-ever regional championship, winning the NCAA East Regional at the Mark Bostick Golf Course in Gainesville, Fla. Denver came away with a top-five finish in the national competition, taking fifth place at the 2009 NCAA National Championship. It marked the highest finish in the program’s history and the third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championship for the Pioneers. A year after Louisiana-Lafayette reached the pinnacle of collegiate softball by advancing to the Women’s College World Series, the high level of competition within the conference during the 2009 softball season was clear evidence of the
league’s increasing parity. Louisiana-Lafayette’s Ragin’ Cajuns took home their ninth Sun Belt Conference crown in 10 years, but they faced heavy opposition in the regular season and throughout the conference tournament. Louisiana-Lafayette fell to host Baylor University in the first game of the Waco Regional, but fought off elimination by winning its next two contests against No. 13 Northwestern and Texas State. The Cajuns’ postseason run came to an end with a second loss to Baylor. But with their entire pitching staff returning, including Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year Donna Bourgeois, the Cajuns have plenty of reason to look forward to the 2010 season. In baseball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 21-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). Both WKU and Middle Tennessee represented the league in the NCAA Baseball Championships in 2009. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivsion coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 17-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in January of 2009 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 29th straight season in 2009, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The Sun Belt Conference has also partnered with JumpTV Sports, Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events. Fans in five different countries viewed the conference’s most recent soccer championship. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas), Florida Marlins All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), Boston Red Sox baseball player Mike Lowell (MLB All-Star and 2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe), and actor Andy Garcia (FIU). The conference’s first 33 years have also produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985 (one of eight women’s Final Four appearances by Sun Belt schools: Old Dominion - 1983, 1985; WKU – 1985, 1986, 1992; Louisiana Tech – 1994, 1998, 1999). Sun Belt teams have also participated in the men’s NCAA Final Four (Charlotte 1977), the College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette 2000), the women’s College World Series (Louisiana-Lafayette 1993, 1995, 1996, 2003, 2008), and have had 11 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. The Sun Belt Conference is led by Commissioner Wright Waters, who is in his 10th full year as commissioner. He was named the conference’s fourth commissioner in February of 1999 following the tenures of Vic Bubas (1976-1990), Jim Lessig (1990-1991), and Craig Thompson (1991-1998). The league’s annual all sports champion is awarded the Vic Bubas Cup, named after the conference’s first commissioner. The conference office has been headquartered in downtown New Orleans since 2000 after moving from suburban Metairie, La., where it had been based since 1991. Prior to moving to the “Big Easy,” the league was based in Tampa, Fla., from 19771991. The original conference office was located in Charlotte, N. C., from 1976-77.
