SEASON PREVIEW
2009 PREVIEW In 2009, Belmont softball will have a new look as Head Coach Amy Tudor adds 10 newcomers to a roster with only two seniors. Despite their youth, the Bruins will benefit from a depth at every position and championship experience as they pursue the next stepping stone for the young program: an Atlantic Sun Tournament bid. "We have more depth than we have ever had before at each position but especially in the circle," said Tudor. "That depth has created a competitive atmosphere at practice, in the weight room and even in the classroom. We want to take that competitive attitude to our opponents."
THE SCHEDULE The Bruins' competitive attitude will be put to the test as they begin the season with three tournaments before playing a single game at home. Their 2009 slate features 11 teams that finished in the top-100 in last season's NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI) -- six of those teams in the Atlantic Sun - and nine teams that Belmont will face for the first time in program history. "I think our schedule is well balanced," said Tudor. "We will be challenged by several opponents this season which should make us stronger for our conference schedule. Our conference is ranked 11th nationally, so we have to play good competition in order to be prepared. We will need to put some wins in our column early; we need a fast start."
Coach's poll. Cheyenne Jenks of FGCU was named the Preseason Player of the Year, with Morgan Childers of USC Upstate was listed as the Preseason Pitcher of the Year. Stetson, picked to finish third, slipped in as the favorite to win the postseason tournament in May. Defending tournament champion Campbell was picked to finish seventh in the poll. With a young, unproven roster, Belmont was tabbed to finish 11th in the conference.
PITCHERS Sammi Parks (RHP, Senior, 5-9) Julie Harmon (RHP, Sophomore, 5-7) Ashley Byers (RHP, Freshman, 6-0) Devon Schmidt (RHP, Freshman, 5-6) Belmont features a pitching staff that will be one of the deepest positions on the field this season as senior Sammi Parks returns as an established starter in the Atlantic Sun. By adding the talents of freshmen Ashley Byers and Devon Schmidt, and maintaining the relief of sophomore Julie Harmon, the Bruins will be poised for a deep run in the season with fresh, talented arms. Parks finished last season with credit for 12 of Belmont's 14 overall wins and a 3.40 earned run average while holding opponents to a .256 batting average. "Sammi has been the most consistent pitcher since I have been in the program," said Tudor. "We relied heavily on her last year and will do the same this season. She will be even better this season because she will have some help, while helping the young pitchers throughout the season." Freshman Devon Schmidt, a four-time state champion at Goodpasture High School in Greenbrier, Tenn., brings winning expectations to the 2009 squad as she will have bountiful of opportunities to prove herself at the Division I level. "Devon should be seeing a lot of time in the circle," Coach Tudor said. "She throws the ball well and if healthy, she could be a huge impact for our program.� (Continued on page 4)
The Bruins will travel to Hammond, La., for the Lion Classic, hosted by Southeastern Louisiana on Feb. 13 through the 15, to kick off the season against Alabama State. Next, they proceed to the Holiday Inn Eagle Classic in Statesboro, Ga., from Feb. 20 to the 22, hosted by Georgia Southern. Before heading to the Blues City Classic in Memphis, the Bruins play at cross-town rival Tennessee State, a series that Belmont leads, 13-7. Before wrapping up the non-conference tournament season at the Winthrop/Adidas Invitational, Belmont will host their first weekend of home games against Alabama State and Boston College in early March. After their two-game home-stand, the Bruins travel to Knoxville to try and end a 13-game losing streak against preseason No. 12 Tennessee. Eleven of the next 12 games from mid-March to mid-April will be played in the state of Tennessee. During that stretch, Belmont will host the defending Atlantic Sun Tournament Champion Campbell at Aquinas Field on April 3. The Bruins will close the regular season with a Battle of the Boulevard double header at Lipscomb. The Atlantic Sun Tournament will begin on May 7 in DeLand, Fla.

(Pitchers, cont.) Sophomore Julie Harmon and freshman Ashley Byers round out the pitching staff in relief roles. Harmon, a finesse pitcher, saw action in 19 innings through 12 appearances with eight strikeouts and one win as a freshman. Byers will provide power to the relief effort as she looks to have an immediate impact after a fruitful high school career.
INFIELDERS Sara Bentley (SS/U, Junior, 5-8) Cassie Bollin (2B/SS, Freshman, 5-4) Sammi Parks (P/SS/3B, Senior, 5-9) Dawn Thoni (2B/SS, Junior 5-6) Hannah Irwin (C/3B, Freshman, 5-4) Hannah Brenzie (3B, Freshman, 5-7) The Bruins' new-look infield is anchored by returning starters Sara Bentley and Sammi Parks. As a sophomore, Bentley started in 39 games while proving to be a significant force from third base, finishing second on the team in assists (61). This season, Bentley will transition to first base and shortstop. Parks will split time between pitching and shotstop and thridbase as she looks to build on a consistent career as a Bruin. Throughout her career Parks has started in 116 of the 119 games while steadily improving her offensive numbers. Four newcomers will have a chance to make an immediate impact on the Bruins' infield to fill the spots that graduating seniors Angie Helseth and Mandy Stanley left after the 2008 season. Cassie Bollin, Hannah Irwin, Hannah Brenzie, and Dawn Thoni will all compete for a starting posi-
tion with an emphasis on situational placement. "We will have almost an entirely new infield," said Tudor. "A few positions will change depending on who is pitching and who is hitting."
OUTFIELDERS Brooke Babington (Junior, 5-5) Elly Bennett (Senior, 5-2) Amanda Buntin (Freshman, 5-10) Kelley Cash (Sophomore, 5-4) Erin Gier (Junior, 5-7) Laura Whitehead (Freshman, 5-7) Belmont's outfield begins the 2009 campaign as one of the most experienced units in the Bruins' defensive effort. Junior Erin Gier will take a more permanent role in the outfield after splitting time between first base and outfield last season. Gier led the Bruins in fielding percentage (.981) while participating in every game last season. Senior Elly Bennett returns after starting in 26 contests last season and sophomore Kelly Cash will vie for starting spot after posting a .966 fielding percentage in 33 games last season. "The outfield is up for grabs," Tudor said. "We have a lot of people competing for positions and each and every one of them brings something a little different to the line-up. I will be excited to see who wins the starting role." Junior Brooke Babington, and freshmen Amanda Buntin and Laura Whitehead represent a new class of outfielders this season. Babington comes to Belmont after hitting .448 for John A. Logan College last season. Buntin brings a winning pedigree at Brentwood High, including a 2007 season in which she hit .352 to help the BHS to a No. 12 national ranking. Whitehead arrives from Evansville, Ind., where she holds five records at Central High School and finished her senior year with a .429 batting average with 39 hits.
CATCHERS Hannah Irwin (Freshman, 5-4) Stayci Cook (Freshman, 5-9) The Bruins will have two young catchers competing for a starting spot that Jess McMillian left after starting 141 games the last three seasons.

"We have two young catchers this year," Tudor said. "They both are competitive and but both different. They both will see time behind the plate and Irwin will see time possibly in both the infield and outfield."

During her first season leading the Bruins, Tudor yielded a two-game improvement conference wins while coaching two All-Atlantic Sun Second Team members, Sammi Parks and Erin Mullen. Under her leadership Sarah Vaughn became just the second player in Belmont softball history to garner the A-Sun Player of the Week recognition. Off there field, five Bruins were named to the Atlantic Sun All-Academic team. Last season, with five seniors, Tudor oversaw a pair of three-game winning streaks for the first time since the 2004 season. Senior Angie Helseth was named the A-Sun Player of the Week in the last week of March and senior Meghan Pipkin led the conference in stolen bases en route to being named All-Conference Second Team. Prior to taking the reigns at Belmont, Tudor spent two years at Ohio Wesleyan where she guided the Battling Bishops to their second straight North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) regular season title in 2005. Tudor managed back-to-back second-place finishes in the NCAC tournament, developed OWU's first-ever NCAC Pitcher of the Year (2005) and Player of the Year (2006) and coached two players who broke the school's homerun record. Tudor finished with a 45-33 overall record at OWU. Before her first head coaching position at Ohio Wesleyan, Tudor served as a graduate assistant at the University of North Alabama for two years while earning a Master of Arts degree in counseling. Her primary responsibilities included working with the pitching staff while assisting with the general operation of the program. Tudor graduated from Western Kentucky in 2002, where she served as a team captain for three years and was a member of WKU's inaugural softball team. As a catcher, Tudor set a school record in 2002 by throwing out 23 runners attempting to steal. Her 216 putouts that year still ranks eighth on the WKU season record list. Over her career as a Hilltopper, she threw out 28 runners, second-best all-time with the program, and she still ranks third with a career .967 fielding percentage. Tudor excelled off the field as well, being named as an All-American Scholar, recipient of the Commissioner's List Award, member of the Golden Key Honor Society and listed on the Dean's List six times at WKU. Tudor was a two-sport athlete at Motlow State Community College in softball and basketball before transfering to Western Kentucky. A native of Petersburg, Tenn., Tudor's No. 9 jersey was the first softball jersey retired at Cornerville High in 1998 after an illustrious high school career.

Belmont University
“FROM HERE TO ANYWHERE”
BELMONT UNIVERSITY BELMONT HISTORY Belmont University sits on 75 historic acres two miles southwest of downtown Nashville, Tenn., a thriving metropolis known worldwide as Music City USA. In the mid-1800s, the land the university now occupies was known as the Belle Monte estate, the Victorian home of one of Tennessee’s wealthiest couples, Joseph and Adelicia Acklen. Their antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century.
Africa and Spain, among other foreign nations. Also, Belmont serves as a regional site for the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies. CAMPUS GROWTH As Belmont’s academic program offerings grow, so too does the physical campus. Recent additions include the 2003 opening of a $52 million entertainment and student life complex which houses the Curb Event Center arena, the Beaman Student Life Center and the Maddox Grand Atrium. In 2005, Belmont opened the first university-based electronic financial trading center, which includes a digital stock ticker, data wall, TV monitors and workstations.
The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, with the support of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, the school became the coed Belmont College. Since becoming Belmont University in 1991, Belmont has grown not only in size but in quality. The mansions, gardens and statues of Belmont's historic past now sit side-by-side with state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the best technology and teachers to train today's students with the right tools for real world success.
The Gordon E. Inman Center opened in 2006, providing a state-of-the-art $22.5 million facility that houses Belmont’s nursing, social work, occupational therapy and physical therapy programs and will be the temporary home for the new School of Pharmacy. The School of Nursing was recognized earlier this year by Laerdal Medical Corporation as a Center of Educational Excellence in part due to the advanced training the school’s multiple simulation models offer to its students. Fall 2008 finds the university opening a new residence hall in the middle of campus to accommodate 190 freshmen students. The building represents the cornerstone of a larger vision that will entail at least three residential structures in the center of campus, which will provide an ideal learning community for incoming classes.
Belmont University is among the fastest growing Christian universities in the nation with nearly 4,800 students hailing from almost every state and more than 25 countries. Since 2000, enrollment has risen from just under 3,000 to 4,756 students for the 2007-08 school year, marking an increase of more than 60 percent. As enrollment steadily increases, so does the quality and diversity of each new class. Incoming 2007-08 freshmen represented 43 states and seven foreign countries and scored an average of 26 on the ACT.
A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY OF LEARNING AND SERVICE In 2007, the university’s formal relationship with the Tennessee Baptist Convention ended. In recent years, Belmont broadened its mission and can now include on its Board of Trustees members of all Christian denominations. In addition, Belmont joined the Lilly Fellows Program’s National Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities, a collective that also includes Baylor University, Boston College, Villanova and Notre Dame, among others.
ACADEMICS In addition, Belmont continues to excel academically and was ranked 11th on the U.S News & World Report listing of “Best Universities” in the South in the master’s category for their 2008 edition of America’s Best Colleges, making Belmont the highest-ranked university in Tennessee in this category. Both Rolling Stone and Time magazines have hailed Belmont's Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business as one of the best music business programs in the country. The Jack C. Massey Graduate School of Business has been named the best MBA program in the region, while Belmont’s business administration and accounting programs have been accredited by AACSB International, the premier accrediting agency in that arena.
Belmont is a student-focused, Christian community of learning and service where students hear from their first visit to campus until the day they graduate that they are created for a purpose in life. The Belmont faculty and staff dedicate themselves to preparing and empowering students to find their passion and use it to change the world. The university seeks to show every student how the love of Christ can compel them to lead lives of disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith.
Located in the heart of Music City USA (Nashville, Tenn.), one of Belmont’s consistent success stories is its world-renowned music and music business programs. Several big names in the music industry started their careers at Belmont including “American Idol” finalist Melinda Doolittle, Christian recording artists Ginny Owens and Steven Curtis Chapman, and country stars Trisha Yearwood, Lee Ann Womack, Brad Paisley and Josh Turner. The annual “Christmas at Belmont” concert showcases performing ensembles from many different genres and has been broadcast nationwide on PBS four years in a row. The University recently added a songwriting major to its offerings, one of only a few such programs in the country. Belmont's boundaries extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business' Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South
In fact, Belmont students, faculty and staff are consistently challenged to look at the hardest circumstances and ask, “What can we do?” Students are encouraged to engage and transform the world, locally and globally, by participation in disaster relief trips to everywhere from the tsunami-stricken areas of Southeast Asia to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. Students serve locally at various relief and community organizations in Nashville throughout the year, and student-athletes take part annually in sports evangelism mission trips to Ukraine and Brazil. Others have taken advantage of what they’re learning at Belmont, incorporating their major studies into various service projects around the world, including working with orphans in South Africa and assisting with physical therapy needs in Guatemala. With more than 75 areas of study, 12 master’s programs and three doctoral degrees, there is no limit to the ways Belmont University can expand an individual's horizon.

PRESIDENT
Dr. Robert Fisher Belmont University President 2008 Tennessean of the Year Dr. Robert (Bob) Fisher serves as President of Belmont University, a position he has held since April 2000. During his tenure the university’s enrollment has risen by nearly 70 percent while the campus itself has expanded significantly with the additions of the Curb Event Center and Beaman Student Life Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center, the Troutt Theater complex and several new residence halls and parking garages. But Dr. Fisher’s greatest sense of accomplishment comes not from new campus structures, stronger endowments or a larger student body. Rather, he measures achievement through witnessing education’s impact on each individual student. “The student is the focus of all our efforts here at Belmont,” Fisher said, “and our top priority is meeting the needs of those students. My life's mission is to help create experiences that transform people, especially students, in ways that enable them to become all they were created to be.” Prior to his appointment at Belmont, Fisher was vice president for academic affairs at Arkansas State University for four years and was dean of the School of Business at Henderson State University, his alma mater, for 10 years. Fisher earned a B.S.B.A. from Henderson State, an M.B.A. from the University of Memphis and a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. In addition to his success as both faculty member and higher education administrator, Fisher is also an accomplished author with his most recent work, Life Is a Gift: Inspiration from the Soon Departed, released in 2008. Co-authored with his wife Judy, Life Is a Gift features a collection of lessons learned from interviews with 104 terminally ill patients of Alive Hospice in Nashville. Dr. Fisher previously coauthored Real Dream Teams: Seven ractices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve extraordinary Results, published by St. Lucie Press, with Belmont’s Vice President of University Advancement Dr. Bo Thomas. Dr. Fisher has published numerous articles on management and leadership and has consulted with a wide variety of organizations on human resource and strategic planning issues, including KimberlyClark Corporation, Alltel, Arkla Gas and the U.S. Department of Transportation, among others. In 1992, Fisher served in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research and consulting with the National Institute of Public Administration. He also provided a keynote address at the Arabian Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Bahrain in 1998. Active in his community, Fisher has served on the Board of Directors for the Greater Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the Country Music Foundation, the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony, the PENCIL Foundation, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Alliance for Public Education, TICUA, Cumberland Region Tomorrow, Fifth Third Bank and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive Committee. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of Nashville, participates in Nashville’s Agenda, and is a 2001 graduate of Leadership Nashville. He also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Arkansas Enterprise Group, a division of Southern Development Bank.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
Michael Strickland Director of Athletics 13th Year at Belmont Now entering his 13th year as Director of Athletics, Mike Strickland has led Belmont's Department of Athletics through its infancy stages as a new NCAA Division I program to become one that sees annual success on the field and in the classroom. During his tenure at Belmont, the program has expanded the number of teams it fields, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, enhanced its facilities, and established a reputation producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes.

PERSONAL Wife: Martha Daughters: Leanna, Sara (Vaughn)
Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseen the inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer, women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond Davis Tennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the most recent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park. This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball, soccer, and track & field. Two of the most important achievements of his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into the Atlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb Event Center. Since becoming a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2001, Belmont has steadily become one of the conference's strongest programs. Over the past three years, Belmont has won 12 conference championships and had six teams make NCAA Tournament appearances. Moreover, the tradition-rich cross country and track and field programs continue to churn out numerous team and individual champions. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past four years, most recently the 2006 A-Sun Volleyball Championship. Strickland has taken a leadership role in the A-Sun serving as chairman of the tournament committee and presently serves as a member of the conference's executive committee. In addition to the program's success on the field, his tenure has seen the building of the exquisite Curb Event Center. The $52 million facility, which opened in the fall of 2003, has become the centerpiece of the athletics program. The complex houses a new 5,000-seat arena for basketball and volleyball, locker rooms for all sports, a training facility and weight room, as well as administrative offices for the Athletic Department. Off the field, the athletic department has made academic achievement the cornerstone of its definition of success. Belmont has won the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy six of the past seven years. The Bruins boasted nearly 71% of their student athletes with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the past academic year. Belmont is the only school to win the trophy five straight times (20022006). Also of significance, Belmont has earned distinction from the NCAA in each of their Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports. Strickland brings varied years of experience to the program, including nine years as athletics director at Murray State University prior to coming to Belmont. While at Murray State, Strickland served on numerous Ohio Valley Conference committees as well as serving on the NCAA I-AA football advisory committee and the NCAA rifle committee. Prior to serving at Murray State, Strickland was an Associate Athletics Director at Wichita State University from 1983-87, where he was responsible for all business operations for the department. Strickland earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia. Strickland is married to the former Martha Thomas, an English instructor at Nashville State Community College. The couple has two children: Leanna Elizabeth, an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, and Sara Grace, a Belmont University graduate who is married to Jared Vaughn. In 2008, Mike and Martha celebrated two milestone events: their 35th wedding anniversary and the arrival of their first grandson, Jacob. In his leisure time, Mike enjoys travel, history, and spending time with his family.
