From Here....

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.

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.

Belmont is among the fastest growing Christian universities in the nation with more than 5,900 students hailing from every state and 25 countries. Since 2000, enrollment has risen from just under 3,000 to 5,936 students for 2010-11, marking an increase of 99 percent. As enrollment steadily increases, so does the quality and diversity of each new class. Incoming 2010-11 freshmen represented 44 states and four foreign countries and scored an average

of 26 on the ACT. ACADEMICS Intent on being a leader among teaching universities, Belmont brings together the best of liberal arts and professional education in a Christian community of learning and service. Belmont was ranked seventh on the U.S. News & World Report listing of "Best Universities" in the South in the master's category for the 2010 edition of America's Best Colleges, making Belmont the highest ranked university in Tennessee in this category. In addition, Belmont was named a most cited "School to Watch," a high honor that indicates the strength of the university's reputation and innovations.

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. Moreover, for the second year in a row, Belmont University's undergraduate School of Business achieved a Top 100 national ranking in BusinessWeek's annual report on the "The Best Undergrad B-Schools" in the U.S. In 2008, Belmont's Entrepreneurship major was even named National Model Undergraduate Program of the Year by the United States Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Located in the heart of Music City USA (Nashville, Tenn.), one of Belmont's consistent success stories is its worldrenowned 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 five years in a row. The University recently added a songwriting major to its offerings, one of only a few such programs in the country.

Students who have passions outside of the music industry also have a home at Belmont. From international business and accounting to education, sport administration, nursing, journalism and the humanities, Belmont provides avenues of learning for almost any interest. Recent program additions include interdisciplinary studies in Social Entrepreneurship and Asian Studies as well as a doctoral degree in Pharmacy, a program that is already gaining acclaim for its four-pillared approach to educating pharmacists for an ever-evolving health care environment. Belmont's also received attention for its innovative, year-long programming around the university's hosting of the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate. A variety of speaker series, visual and performing arts programs, and special events occurred on campus, all around the central theme "Wealth and Poverty."

Belmont faculty members display a consistent commitment to excellence as well. Multiple professors have been awarded Fulbright awards, including a nursing professor who'll spend 2009-10 in Uganda as a guest lecturer while conducting research on how standards of nursing are adapted to austere conditions. Also, four Belmont professors from four different schools--Finance, Psychology, Spanish and Philosophy-have been chosen as Tennessee Professor of the Year by CASE/Carnegie Foundation since 2000.

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 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 and is the host institution for the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad, a higher education consortium of 24 colleges and universities.

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 universitybased electronic financial trading center, which includes a digital stock ticker, data wall, TV monitors and workstations.

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 also serves as the temporary home of the School of Pharmacy. The School of Nursing was recognized 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. In fall 2010, the university will open a second Health Sciences building adjacent to the first. The $30 million structure will be a model, 21st century academic facility, providing a venue where students and faculty resources can intersect to help meet the needs of the community and the world. The 90,000-square-foot building will emphasize integrated, "hands-on" experiential learning components through medical simulation spaces and

a licensed, state-of-the-art pharmacy.

Belmont's intimate theater complex opened in 2007, featuring the 350-seat Bill and Carole Troutt proscenium theater, a Black Box theater and scene shop. The complex now plays host to numerous student productions as well as collaborative efforts with local professional ensembles, including the Nashville Children's Theatre, Actors Bridge Ensemble, Nashville Shakespeare Festival and the Nashville Ballet. In 2008, the university opened Maple Hall, a residence facility to accommodate 190 freshmen students. Next door to Maple is a new 103,000 square foot residence hall that will provide housing for an additional 400 freshmen in fall 2010, creating a unique living-learning community for first-year students in the heart of campus.

ATHLETICS In addition to celebrating academic excellence and phenomenal growth, Belmont boasts 17 intercollegiate sports teams. The Belmont Bruins men's basketball team won its third consecutive Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship in 2008 and made its third appearance in the NCAA National Tournament, losing a heartbreaking game 71-70 to perennial powerhouse Duke.

Both Belmont cross country teams and the volleyball team earned 2006 Atlantic Sun Conference titles, and the cross country teams repeated with 2007 Atlantic Sun Conference titles. In 2007, the teams also won both Coach of the Year awards, both individual titles, two Runner of the Year awards and a Freshman of the Year trophy. Belmont student-athletes excel in the classroom, too, as the university is the only school in league history to win the Atlantic Sun All-Academic Trophy seven times, most recently in 2009. The award is given annually to the conference school with the greatest percentage of student-athletes who earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

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.

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.

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 South Africa, 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 India and assisting with physical therapy needs in Guatemala.

With more than 75 areas of study, 20 master's programs and three doctoral degrees, there is no limit to the ways Belmont University can expand an individual's horizon.

Dr. Robert C. Fisher Belmont University President 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 more than doubled 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, McWhorter Hall and several new residence halls and parking garages. Under his leadership Belmont University also broke into the Top 5 for the first time in the Best Regional Universities South category in U.S. News & World Report's analysis of America's Best Colleges. Soaring to No. 5 in the 2011 edition, Belmont was also honored for the third year in a row as one of the top schools nationwide for "leading the pack in improvements and innovative changes."

Academically, the University has added numerous new interdisciplinary programs in the past decade, including Social Entrepreneurship, New Century Journalism, Pharmacy and, most recently, the Belmont College of Law which will welcome its first class this fall. In addition, Fisher worked to secure Belmont as the host site for the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate, a historic event broadcast worldwide that also led to Fisher's selection as 2008 Tennessean of the Year and 2010 Nashvillian of the Year.

But Dr. Fisher's greatest sense of accomplishment comes not from new campus structures, stronger endowments or an ever-increasing student population. 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.

He also provided a keynote address at the Arabian Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Bahrain in 1998.

Enrollment is up 98 percent since Fall 2000. The overwhelming progress is "the latest validation that Belmont University has the right vision for its future," said Dr. Robert Fisher, president of the university.

"Belmont University is on a roll. The abilities of our incoming freshmen and our rapidly rising enrollment show we are on the right track."

Active in his community, Fisher has served in numerous volunteer roles with such organizations as Alignment Nashville, the Nashville Alliance for Public Education and the PENCIL Foundation, all of which support Nashville's public schools.

Mike Strickland Director of Athletics Now entering his 16th 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.

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, 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.

During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes.

In 2008, Belmont became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent the league in three consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Adding conference championships in baseball and men’s basketball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 31 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02.

In addition, the school has hosted 10 conference championships over the past seven 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 various other leadership capacities.

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 eight of the past 10 years. The Bruins boasted over 76 percent 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 (2002-2006). 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. In June of 2009, Strickland received the Under Armour National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I Southeast Region A.D. of the Year Award. Strickland was honored at the annual NACDA convention in Orlando, Fla. Strickland is married to the former Martha Thomas, an English instructor at Nashville State Community College. The couple has two children: Leanna Elizabeth, a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and Sara Grace, a Belmont University graduate who is married to Belmont alumnus Jared Vaughn. Strickland has one grandson, Jacob.

Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural, and commercial center of the Mid-South. With a metropolitan population of more than 1.5 million, Nashville is one of the fastest growing markets in the country. In the past decade alone, the population of the Nashville area has grown by nearly 30 percent.

'The Music City' can best be described as a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and "down home" friendliness. Nashville is located in the heart of our nation's bustling core. Major cities such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Atlanta, and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours. And when going from work to play, Nashville has it all. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, recreational opportunities, restaurants, parks, and shopping malls.

The sports landscape in Nashville has changed dramatically over the past decade with the introduction of major professional sports into the area. The arrival of the NFL's Tennessee Titans in 1998 brought instant credibility and excitement to the Mid-State. The Titans have won two division titles and one conference championship. Tennessee represented the AFC in Super Bowl XXXIV, playing the St. Louis Rams in one of the most memorable games in NFL history. With All Pro running back Chris Johnson and new head coach Mike Munchak, the future looks bright for the powder blue and white.

Home for the Titans is LP Field, a 68,000 seat, state-of-the-art facility located on the east bank of the Cumberland River across from downtown. Aside from the NFL, LP Field also plays host to several major concerts and international sporting events.

Not to be outdone, the Nashville Predators

have introduced the thrills of the National Hockey League to Middle Tennessee. In 2011, the Predators advanced to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a sixth time, defeating the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in the playoffs. The Preds skate in one of Nashville's downtown landmarks, Bridgestone Arena. The 18,000 seat Bridgestone Arena is a regular venue for touring groups and international artists, such as Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and Coldplay.

Another constant among Nashville professional sports over the past two decades has been the Nashville Sounds. The Sounds, who have called Music City home since 1978, compete in the Pacific Coast League as the Class AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. In recent years, players like Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, and Ricky Weeks have used Nashville to jumpstart MLB stardom. The 2006 PCL

Champion Sounds play at Greer Stadium, located just minutes from downtown and the former longtime home of Belmont Baseball.

Though the Nashville Superspeedway took a final bow in the summer of 2011, middle Tennessee remains a hotbed for NASCAR and IRL racing. Furthermore, Nashville has established itself as the ideal place to host a major sporting event. In the past decade alone, the city has hosted events such as the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament, the SEC men's and women's basketball tournaments, numerous AAU national championships, international soccer matches, and the U.S. Swimming Championships. Recently, Nashville was awarded the 2014 NCAA Women's Final Four. Each year, Nashville hosts the highly-popular Country Music Marathon and the Music City

Bowl - which now pits teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conferences each December at LP Field.

Recreation is second-to-none in Nashville.

Located in the picturesque hills of Middle Tennessee, Nashville boasts thousands of acres of public parks and offers a variety of outdoor activities like golf, boating, fishing, and hiking.

Known as "Music City USA", Nashville is a city whose musical tastes range from country to rock to gospel. The city has several major concert venues and many big-name concert tours consider Nashville a "must-stop." The city also serves as home to the Grand Ole Opry, the nation's longest running weekly radio show, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Nashville has long been the mecca of the country music industry and is one of the top recording centers in the world. All of the music industry's

major recording labels have a presence in Music Row, just north of the Belmont campus.

The nightlife in downtown Nashville offers something for everyone. Admist the savory sights and sounds of historic Second Avenue sit some of the most venerable hot spots anywhere. From Wildhorse Saloon and Hard Rock Cafe to Famous Dave's BBQ and The Pancake Pantry, it is not uncommon to bump into stars of stage and screen in Nashville.

Nashville's cultural environment earned the city its other nickname, the "Athens of the South." Nashville is well known as a major education center. The area's 10 accredited fouryear and postgraduate institutions, including Belmont, are an integral part of the economic and cultural identity of the area. In addition to its educational institutions, the city offers numerous cultural and artistic venues. It is

home to nine performing arts facilities, including the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. TPAC is the home to a wide range of events, including Broadway musicals and performances by the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and the Nashville Symphony. The city is also home to seven art galleries, including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. The Frist Center, housed in the city's old main post office, presents a wide assortment of visual arts exhibitions. Nashville boasts 25 museums (including the Tennessee State Museum), numerous historic sites (like The Hermitage - home of President Andrew Jackson, an exact replica of the Parthenon, and the Natchez Trace Parkway), and an upgraded public library system that includes a new $50 million downtown library. Lastly, the newest addition to the downtown landscape, the Music City Center convention center, is set to open in February 2013 and will further cement Nashville's place as a desired interna-

tional meeting place.

Simply put, Nashville is the cornerstone of the Mid-South economy. It has become a leader in printing and publishing, music and entertainment, finance and insurance, healthcare management, automobile and other related industry, manufacturing and tourism. Internationally known companies like AT&T, Bridgestone/Firestone, Caterpillar Financial, Dell, Dollar General, HCA, Louisiana Pacific, Nissan and Tractor Supply Co. have significant operations in the city.

Sporting a mild climate with distinct changes in season - warm summers, colorful autumns, brisk winters, and beautiful springs - no two days are alike in Nashville.

The 2011-12 edition of the Belmont women's basketball team has focused on the mission of BUILD IT. After a heartbreaking last second loss in the semifinals of the 2011 Atlantic Sun Tournament, the Bruins return more determined than ever to return to the Big Dance for the second time in program history. The roster is stacked with seasoned and decorated veterans and seven newcomers all with the single focus of making a run at the Atlantic Sun Tournament and earning a berth to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the Ezell era.

The Seniors Headlining the senior class is two-time Atlantic Sun AllConference honoree Haley Nelson. An outstanding junior campaign saw her ranked nationally in four categories - 85th in blocked shots per game (1.6), 86th in field-goal percentage (47.2), 116th in rebounds per game (8.1) and 250th in points per game (13.7). Fans should expect another explosive campaign from the Scottsboro, Ala., native who nearly averaged a double-double a year ago with a team-leading 13.7 points and 8.1 boards per contest. The post also led the team in blocks (38) and field-goal percentage (.472).

"I truly believe that Haley has the capabilities of being the ASun player of the year this season. The great part about her is that she will happily give that honor away for our team to be successful. Haley did a tremendous job over the summer and in the preseason to prepare for her senior campaign and I have no doubt that she and we will reap the benefits of her dedication."

One player who could see action in a number of positions on the floor is Cacy Burtnett. One of three returners who played in all 31 contests one year ago, she was second in three-point field goals made (29) and third in offensive rebounds (43). The versatile Cleveland, Tenn., native is expected to be even more dangerous on both sides of the ball this season. Fans should expect Burtnett to build on her point production from last season after she shot 50 percent or better from behind the three-point arc eight times and reached double figures in scoring six times. Her fearlessness in the face of competition and maturing leadership ability will remain a focal point over the course of the season.

"Cacy is ridiculously blue collar in her work ethic. She has a renewed vigor for the game and we know that she balances a lot of things during the season due to her major in nursing.

She has a non-stop motor and is deeply competitive. Cacy will challenge for playing time at the 2, 3 and 4 position."

Tristan Daniel took her fundamentally sound game to another level in the paint over the course of just one season.

16 ~ Belmont Women ’ s Bask e tball 2011-12

Appearing in 31 contests with five starts last season, Daniel's leaps and bounds of improvement should have her easily battling for a starting spot in her final campaign as a Bruin. The Waynesboro, Tenn., native proved her mettle at the charity stripe, knocking down 72 percent of her attempts.

She was also perfect at the line six different times and reached double digits in scoring on three occasions.

Haley Nelson

"Tristan has reported back to campus with a great amount of confidence and has killed it in preseason conditioning. She showed glimpses of some really great things last season and I know that she is determined to be on the floor more as a senior. Tristan was huge for us in the A-Sun tournament last season so I hope that momentum will carry over into 20112012."

Rejoining the lineup this season will be Shai Wilkins, who was injured in last year's preseason. The year on the sidelines saw her grow in maturity and become a more vocal leader in the post corps. The Harvest, Ala., native came off the bench in 20 contests two seasons ago in crucial moments for the Bruins.

"Shai has done a tremendous job in her ACL rehabilitation and I know that she is eager to return to playing. She is a forceful presence around the basket but has been out of competitive action for two years due to her transfer and injury. We are all anxious to see what she can do but we will have to be patient and let her work her way back."

After battling back from surgery to rejoin the Bruins one year ago, Crystal Kesler will unfortunately miss her final season on the hardwood. This Knoxville, Tenn., native will instead assist her teammates and coaches from the bench.

"Crystal is one of the toughest kids that I have ever coached.

I hate that I never had the opportunity to coach her as a fully healthy athlete. She has shown so much resiliency and strength through her own pain and as a staff, we are all in admiration of her work ethic and drive despite persistent setbacks. Although she will not be on the court this season, she will be a valued voice in the locker room and a mentor to all of our young players."

The Juniors This class has seen the most transition of the upperclassmen with the loss of one player and the activation of UMBC transfer Katie Brooks. Add to the mix forward/center Alyssa Visbeen and this class is brimming with two of the most exciting playmakers in the Atlantic Sun. The athleticism and drive to win will propel this pair to excel in league play.

Visbeen has gleaned much in her two years behind Nelson.

She played in all 31 matchups and earned six starts one year ago.

The Franklin, Tenn., native continues to prove her dependability at the free-throw line, knocking down 63.3 percent of her attempts, including shooting 50 percent or better on six occasions.

Her increased strength, speed and agility will prove to be a handful again for opponents.

Cacy Burtnett

"I have long thought that Alyssa has a vast amount of untapped potential. The only thing keeping Alyssa from being an elite level player for Belmont is Alyssa. If she will commit to all it takes to be a premier player, then she could be unstoppable. I know that she is the epitome of a team player but when it comes to her personal development, I am

urging her to be a little more selfish. The team and the program needs the best that she can possibly give. She could make a big impact for us this season if she accepts that challenge."

Brooks a 5-9 guard, joined the Bruins after a highly decorated two years at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

She was the Retrievers' third-leading scorer for two consecutive seasons, averaging 8.8 points per game over her time at UMBC. A two-time America East Rookie of the Week selection, Brooks averaged 9.3 points per game in her first season.

She also second on the team in assists and averaged 3.3 rebounds per game. Brooks, who went on to set UMBC's program record for free throws made in a single game, was twice named America East Player of the Game as a freshman and was named to the Seton Hall Basketball Classic AllTournament Team.

"We have all been anticipating Katie's start date since she arrived as a transfer from UMBC last season. Katie is a bright, physical point guard and has the ability to score in traffic. We will need to see how Katie handles the team from a leadership standpoint and how she will blend with the returners and freshmen alike. She has possesses natural, undeniable leadership capabilities and it's exciting to finally have her ready for game action."

The Sophomores The sophomore class will be one to watch this season.

Guards Julianne Downs and Molly Ernst add a major one-two punch when they are on the floor at the same time with their shooting range and ability. They bring a high level of intensity when they step on the hardwood and will make an immediate impact anytime either of them see action.

Ernst was fiery behind the arc for the Bruins, leading the team with a 39.1 percent clip in her rookie season.

Exploding from her first two collegiate games, she was named to the Winthrop Classic All-Tournament team and received the Atlantic Sun's inaugural Newcomer of the Week award. The Louisville, Ky., native shined throughout the season, notching 15 double digit scoring games and finished the year ranked in the top-40 of two NCAA Division I categories 29th in three-point field goals per game (2.7) and 39th in three-point field-goal percentage. Fans should expect even more from this long-range dynamo in 2011-12.

"Molly had an incredible freshman year and it will be important to help prevent the sophomore slump with her. Shooters all go through it so we will look to minimize it if it does occur.

She has done an incredible job in the off season to change

her body and to gain physical strength. At 6'0, Molly poses a unique matchup to opponents from the 2 guard position.

The challenge for Molly will be to continue developing into a total player and not just be pigeonholed as a shooter. She is capable of much more."

Downs joined the Bruins to open Atlantic Sun play and made an Tristan Daniel immediate impact on both sides of the ball.

The Franklin, Tenn., native came off the bench in 19 contests and showed flashes of amazing potential all over the floor.

Learning from the upperclassmen guards has helped Downs develop her own style that combined with her shooting ability and floor agility, will prove difficult to contain for opponents.

"Julianne was a breath of fresh air last season. She is relentless on the court and plays with a reckless abandon that every team needs. She has worked tirelessly to get herself back into playing shape and will challenge for time at the 2 and the 3. She is surprisingly athletic and shoots the ball with consistency from range. Julianne's effort endears her to teammates and fans daily."

The Freshmen Red Oak, Texas native Blair Bryce will add even more depth to the post position for the Bruins this season. As a junior at Bishop Lynch High, Blair averaged 10 points and 14 rebounds per game. She received First Team All-District and Honorable Mention All-State honors in 2010 after leading the BLHS Lady Friars to a Texas 5A State Championship title.

Bruin fans should expect Bryce to have immediate production due to her excellent combination of length and timing on her jumps, making her an outstanding rebounding and shot blocker.

"At 6-5, Blair will add some much needed length on our backline. She has incredibly good timing as a shot blocker and scores in the paint with either hand," Ezell said. "She has a soft touch from 15-feet and is continuing to develop her three-point range. Blair also is a tremendous distributor from the high post and moves well in transition."

Katie Carroll will join the Bruins after completing her high school career at Parkview High in Lilburn, Ga. A quick 5-8 left-handed guard, Bruin fans can look forward to her ability to score early and often because of her wide shooting range. As a junior, Carroll averaged 14 points per game and scored 1,000+ career points. The sharpshooter led the Parkview Lady Panthers to 28-straight victories and a Regional Championship. Carroll has earned All-County and All-State honors and was also recognized by her team as the "Best Defensive Player."

"Katie is a worker. She is a left-handed shooting guard who is extremely good in the open floor and can knock down open jumpers. Katie has a high basketball IQ and a passion for playing the game," Ezell said. "She possesses deceptive speed and quickness and will be a tremendous defensive asset to our program as well. Katie's personality will immediately make her a fan favorite and her infectious level of enthusiasm will be a fantastic addition to the program in all that we do."

Another member of the Daniel family will be joining the Bruin squad in 2011 with the addition of 6-2 forward Carly Daniel.

The Wa y n e s b o r o , Tenn., native averaged 13 points and eight rebounds per game as a junior on Wayne County's state tournament team.

She recorded 1,000 + career points and was tabbed Tennessee Miss

Shai Wilkins

Basketball. Daniel also has a knack for creating scoring opportunities from all over the court which will delight fans and frustrate opponents.

"Carly battles on the boards and competes in the post on every possession. Just like her sister, Carly is extremely fundamentally sound and uses both hands to score around the basket," Ezell said. "Carly's build and physical strength will be huge benefits for our program. We are more than happy to keep any member of the Daniel family in our Belmont family as long as we can."

The Bruins welcome another player from Harvest, Ala., in 59 guard Amara Mayers. As a junior, Mayers led her Madison Academy team to the state Championship game. Mayers will be a dangerous weapon on defense due to her quickness and muscular build. She will also pose a serious threat to defenders in the future because of her ability to create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates.

"Amara is powerful. She already has a college physique and is capable of making plays at the basket at any time due to her physical nature," Ezell said. "She has a court presence about her that commands attention. She possesses all the tools to not only be a scoring threat from the point or wing but she also has the capabilities to be a shut down defender and a constant on the boards at both ends of the floor.

Amara is also a consistent threat from three-point range."

Adrienne Tarrence will add depth to the Bruin guard corps in 2011 after wrapping her stellar career at Bowling Green High. As a junior, the 5-9 guard averaged 11 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals per game. The Bowling Green, Ky., native also shot 58 percent from the field and led the Bowling Green Lady Purples to a Region Championship and the school's third-straight District Championship, collected the most wins in school history (22+ for all four years) and won the only three District Championships in the program's last 36 years. Tarrence, who plays with a special blend of athleticism and effort that makes her a tenacious defender and rebounder, will be an exciting addition to the BU lineup.

"Adrienne is a left-handed slasher/scorer who is fantastic in transition. She can play the 1 or 2 position and is crafty with the basketball. Adrienne takes a great deal of pride in being a lock down defender and she anticipates passing lanes extremely well. Her athleticism makes her a difficult match-up and her mid-range game brings an added, often over looked, dimension to her overall floor game," Ezell said.

Rounding out the class of 2011 is Maryville, Tenn., native Torie Vaught. The 6-1 forward, who averaged 14 points and seven rebounds per game one year ago, earned District and County Player of the Year honors as well as a District Tournament Most Valuable Player nod. As a junior, she played for the Tennessee Flight's Nike National Championship team.

"Torie is active on the glass on both ends of the floor and will be a difficult match-up due to her ability and willingness to rebound and run. She played for the National Championship AAU program, Tennessee Flight, this summer and often found herself matched up against some of the premier post players in the country. Never once did we as a staff see Torie back down from a challenge."

wrapped their 21-13 season with a trip to the WNIT. "Those first three games will test us right off the bat. We will have great challenges with opponents from the OVC, Conference USA and SEC. It will give us a chance early to figure out what we're working with," said Ezell. I have the utmost respect for Coach Kevin McMillan, Coach Melissa McFerrin and Coach Nell Fortner. They all run first class programs in every way and I have no doubt that UT-Martin, Memphis and Auburn will again be in post season play."

"This is definitely a tough schedule and we will face many tests over the course of the season. Prepping for our nonconference schedule will pose a unique challenge," Ezell said. "The spacing of the games is similar to what we will face during the A-Sun Tournament where we have to prepare for so many different styles of play in a short amount of time."

Fans will get to see the Bruins in action for the first time in their home opener on November 18, when they host Indiana for in the Curb Event Center. Around the Thanksgiving holiday, BU fans can see the team in action at Ohio on November 23 before the team returns home four days later to host Indiana State. The Bobcats of the Mid-American Conference went 9-20 last season and while the Sycamores, hailing from the Missouri Valley Conference, finished with a 16-16 mark one year ago.

"We will get to open at home against a Big Ten power in Indiana. They will be a test because of their size and athleticism," said Ezell. "When we travel to Ohio, I know that Coach Randall's competitiveness and toughness will be reflected by her team."

The Schedule The Bruins will host 13 games in the friendly confines of the Curb Event Center and face off against opponents from eight different conferences, including four teams who saw postseason action in 2011. Attendance increased 54 percent in Ezell's first year with the program and the exciting schedule, including four teams from the state of Tennessee, should continue to assist in the rise of fans. The combination will test the Bruins early and often en route to meeting their goal of another run in the A-Sun Tournament.

Belmont opens the 2011 portion of its schedule on the road for its first three contests of the season. The Bruins head to future OVC foe UT Martin on November 11. Two days later, BU faces off against in-state rival Memphis. The Skyhawks made their first NCAA Tournament appearance last season, capping a 21-11 season while the Lady Tigers

Belmont closes the month of November with one of its biggest tests of the season - on the road at first-time opponent Florida on the 29th. The Gators advanced to the third round of the WNIT, amassing a 20-15 record last year. UF will become the ninth team from the SEC the Bruins have done battle with on the hardwoods since the program began.

"Playing Florida will serve as a great final tune up before our games against Kennesaw State and Mercer and the rest of the Atlantic Sun schedule," said Ezell. "It is always a great experience for our team and our program to play SEC powerhouses like Florida."

more non-conference play to close the 2011 portion of their schedule. In its final game before breaking for final exams, BU will travel to future OVC rival Eastern Kentucky on December 6. After the break, the team plays in-state rivals Chattanooga (12/15) on the road and Austin Peay (12/18) at home before closing the month at the Curb Event Center, hosting first-time opponent Texas State (12/21) right before the Christmas break. The Bruins have not faced off against the Lady Colonels, who went 6-21 last year, since 2006 while the Lady Mocs, who finished 17-14 a year ago, and the Lady Govs, who went 15-18 last year, made appearances in their respective conference tournaments.

The 2012 portion of the schedule finds Belmont opening with a road trip to Florida with stops at North Florida (1/2) and Jacksonville (1/4) before wrapping the week with part one of the annual Battle of the Boulevard against rival Lipscomb on January 7 at the Curb Event Center. Also visiting the Curb in January are Florida Gulf Coast on January 12 and Stetson two days later. The midway point of the conference slate has BU on the road at in-state rival East Tennessee State and USC Upstate on January 19 and 21, respectively. Finally, the Bruins conclude January at the Curb hosting the Ospreys (1/26) and the Dolphins (1/28).

BU's lone home series in the month of February is sandwiched by five road games, opening with part two of the Battle of the Boulevard on the home court of the Lady Bisons on the 4th. A return trip to Florida this time to take on the Hatters (2/9) and the Eagles (2/11) leads into the home finale weekend where the Bruins will host the Spartans and the Lady Bucs on February 16 and 18, respectively. Belmont concludes the regular season on the road in Georgia with contests at Kennesaw State (2/23) and Mercer (2/25).

"Our girls are motivated for this year's schedule. They've had it on their walls and posted in the weight room all summer. They really have a strong level of commitment to it and are passionate in their collective pursuits to continue to build upon the strong foundation of Belmont University Women's Basketball. I know our kids and staff are excited to see Bruin fans back in the Curb starting on November 18."

The Atlantic Sun Tournament returns to the campus of Mercer University in Macon, Ga., in 2012 during the first week of March.

The month of December finds the Bruins jumpstarting Atlantic Sun play at home, hosting Kennesaw State (12/1) and Mercer (12/3) before returning to the road again for

Belmont Women’s Basketball Community Service Initiatives "As representatives of Belmont University, I believe that our program needs to take as much pride in the way that we serve others and our community as we do in the way that we perform in the classroom and on the basketball court. We consider it a privilege and an honor to be athletes at Belmont University.

It is not a right accompanied by any sense of entitlement. We challenge our players to understand that with the privilege of representing Belmont comes a responsibility. Yet fulfilling that responsibility can be far more rewarding than any game ever won," Head Coach Brittney Ezell said.

"It is our responsibility to give back to the University, the community and fans in such a way that our gratefulness for all that we have at Belmont is revealed through the joyfulness and selfless spirit that our players emanate while helping others. As Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." It is our challenge and responsibility to be great and I have no doubt that the legacy left by the members Belmont Women's

BRITTNEYE Z E L L Head Coach Second Year at Belmont

Belmont University Director of Athletics Mike Strickland announced Monday, Apr. 19, 2010 the hiring of Brittney Ezell (ee-ZELL) as the third head women's basketball coach in program history.

"We are delighted that Brittney has accepted our offer to lead Belmont women's basketball," Strickland said. "Brittney has distinguished herself both as a coach and a player, and we believe her enthusiasm, dedication and commitment to the student-athlete ideal are perfect fits at Belmont."

Ezell took the helm of the Belmont program after spending the previous two seasons as head coach at the University of Montevallo. Inheriting a Falcon program that recorded one winning season in its previous 12 years, Ezell directed Montevallo to a 14-13 record in 2009-10. The Falcons also ranked second in the Peach Belt Conference in scoring defense.

Prior to Montevallo, Ezell spent three seasons as head coach at OkaloosaWalton Junior College (now Northwest Florida State College) in Niceville, Fla. The Lady Raiders went 57-28 under Ezell's watch, which included an appearance in the 2006 NJCAA Regional Tournament. During her tenure, Ezell developed 14 All-Panhandle Conference performers, 12 of whom would go on to sign national letters of intent with NCAA Division I schools. The Lady Raiders also had 12 Academic All-Conference honorees.

Ezell's coaching career began at the University of Alabama, where she spent five years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. She was credited with delivering back-to-back Top 15 ranked recruiting classes for the Tide, with four guards developing into All-SEC players.

51 ~ Belmont Women ’ s Bask e tball 2011-12

Ezell was a four-year starting point guard for the Tide, helping lead the team to a 95-34 record and four consecutive NCAA Division I "Sweet Sixteen" appearances from 1995-98. She ranks in the Top 20 in career scoring, with 1,022 points and is second all-time in career assists (620) and games started (114). She was a Second Team All-SEC selection in 1998 and was named to the SEC AllTournament Team in 1996.

In 1998, Ezell was a candidate for the Francis Pomeroy Naismith Award, given to the top point guard in the country and was named to the inaugural WBCA/Honda AllStar Game for the nation's top 20 players. She also was invited to the WNBA Rookie Combine in Chicago.

Additionally, Ezell became the first female two-sport athlete at Alabama in over a decade when she joined the Tide softball team. A two-time Golden Glove recipient and two-year starter at third base and shortstop, Ezell started at third base for UA's first SEC Tournament Championship team in 1998.

Ezell earned a bachelor's degree in business management from Alabama in 1999 and a master's degree in education administration from the University of Nebraska in 2005.

A native of Franklin, Tennessee, Ezell was a prep standout at Franklin High School. She was a three-time District MVP, tallying over 2,000 points and 600 assists in her career.

Coach Brittney Ezell answers some questions about BEing a Bruin How did you get started playing basketball?

I was an extremely active kid and just enjoyed any type of competition. Basketball came naturally to me so I got started playing organized ball when I was about 6 or 7 years old. There wasn't a girls' league where we lived at the time so my mom decided to coach a team in the boys' league. She just wanted me to have a place to play. The funny thing is that we won the league every year. Maybe she should be answering these questions with her coaching resume.

When and why did you decide coaching basketball would be the career path you would take?

In all honesty, coaching was the last thing on my mind. I thought that I would get into radio or television commentating. I even considered the idea of going to law school.

During my junior year of college, I helped coach an AAU team out of Birmingham, Alabama and I think it was then that I realized I enjoyed being on the sidelines. When I became a graduate assistant at the University of Nebraska, I grew more and more fond of the idea of making coaching a profession. So finally, when I was offered the assistant coaching position at the University of Alabama, I realized that this was the path that was being

laid out for me. I tell people all the time that I planned for my life and God laughed. I don't regret this career path at all but it is a scary thought to think that my paycheck is essentially in the hands of 18 to 22 year old girls.

What is it about coaching that keeps you coming back for more?

My job is essentially to facilitate the dreams of the 15 young women on our roster through the game of basketball. How can anyone not want to help someone achieve a dream? Granted, that is a lot of pressure to withstand as the head coach but it is beyond rewarding at the same time. It is the process of winning, both on and off the court, that keeps me coming back for more. It's seeing kids mature as people. It's the competition. This profession can either age you or keep you young. I'm counting on it to keep me young because no matter how frustrating or difficult the kids may be, they are also devoted, loyal, enthusiastic and remarkably optimistic. That alone is worth coming back for every day.

What do you hope your players learn from you throughout their time at Belmont?

That's a tough question. There are so many things that I

Coach Brittney Ezell answers some questions about BEing a Bruin hope our players take with them and I am afraid that I will forget to mention one that needs to be repeated. I hope our players learn to be selfless, giving and caring. I hope our players learn to compete in all that they do but that they continue to be process and not results driven. I hope they learn to appreciate the discipline it took to be a student-athlete at Belmont University.

I hope they learn that losing a game doesn't make them a loser in life and the same can be said for winning. I hope they learn to be of encouragement to those around them.

It is hard to be uplifting to someone else in difficult moments. I hope they learn that trust, accountability, commitment and class are cornerstones for any successful organization. Mostly, I hope they learn that their value to me, to our staff and to our program has nothing to do with how many points they score or how many rebounds they get. Their value to us lies in the character, the work ethic and the devotion that they show to their teammates, coaches, program and University.

What drives you to succeed?

I have always had a fear of failure. I think I developed it at a very early age. However, I'm not afraid of losing. I have lost my share of games as a player and as coach. As a coach, I really think it comes down to the fact that I despise losing more than I like winning. Mostly, I think I am fearful of failure in terms of not living up to my Godgiven potential and falling short of the expectations that the people I value have of me. I'm driven by that fear mixed with a passion to compete and a desire to learn as much as I can daily. I am driven personally to succeed daily by my need to learn new things, to understand people, concepts and ideas more deeply, and to develop intellectually, emotionally and spiritually to my full potential as a coach and as a person. I think if we better ourselves and those around us through never-ending learning and enrichment then we have truly succeeded. Coach John Wooden said, "It's

what we learn after we know it all that matters." Believe me, I am learning more and more every day because I am nowhere near knowing it all.

How has your playing career and past coaching experience helped to prepare you for the reinvention of Belmont women's basketball?

I am always a little leery about talking about my playing days. The older I get, it seems the better I was as a player.

However, I do think that having played, recruited and coached in arguably the best conference in the country, the SEC, has helped to develop my intensely, competitive nature. I have been very fortunate to coach at the junior college and Division II levels as well so I have a great sense of appreciation for Division I basketball and the opportunities presented to our program at Belmont. When I first became a head

coach I made a list of four things that I needed to make sure were done daily. They are: 1. Know what you want to do. 2. Work harder than your players. 3. Be fair. 4.

Discipline 100% of the program. I typed in on a sheet of paper and that same sheet of paper hangs in my office 7 years later. I guess, I have always been a worker. Blue collar kind of player and coach. I was the kid bleeding from the face and floor burned after every game who had to sit in an ice bath every morning before class because I played myself into exhaustion but smiling because I loved every minute of it. I worked on my game early in the mornings, late at night and watched countless films and games to try to pick up on any advantage out there. I learned that tireless work ethic from my mom (Denise) and dad (Eddie) at a very early age and it has paid off for me as an adult. I hope my coaching career has revealed me to be the same kind of worker and competitor. My staff and I have come to be known as "program fixers".

We take broken programs and turn them around from the inside out. I take a lot of pride in changing the culture of programs to reflect the core values of the University and our coaching staff. There is no quick fix for situations like we inherited at Belmont but there are limitless possibilities here. It won't be overnight and it won't be easy but it's a challenge that our staff accepts every morning when the sun comes up. I know that I am prepared for the challenges of resurrecting Belmont women's basketball and I am grateful for all the games as a player and coach that have lead me to this place. I just have to keep reminding myself that Rome wasn't built overnight. We'll build it here at Belmont and we will build it the right way.

What is the toughest part of being a coach?

Good question. The coaching part is actually easy. It's all the other things that go into the job that aren't mentioned in the job description. Now don't get me wrong, I

am in no way complaining about it.

Hahaha! Not in the least! What I am saying is that if all I had to do daily was to actually coach then I would be home free.

But on any given day, we as coaches deal with issues in budgeting, fundraising, scheduling, travel, discipline, academics, community outreach, media obligations, camp, alumni relations, speaking engagements, public appearances, facility management, and not to mention, scouting, film breakdown, practice planning, statistical breakdowns, recruiting and game planning. The funny thing is that often times we have to play the role of counselor, teacher and advisor to our players as well.

So I guess the toughest part of being a coach is the moment that the ball is tipped to start a game. From that moment on, I am pretty helpless and have minimal control. I have to trust that all the preparation and all the work that we do leading up to the game is enough and then trust the players to follow the game plan and execute their assignments to the best of their abilities. But the more I think about it, the "tough" parts about my job as a coach are what makes it worthwhile and exciting. I am thankful for the challenges. If it were easy then everyone would be able to do it.

Where do you see the women's basketball program at Belmont in three years?

I see us getting ready to graduate Molly Ernst and Julianne Downs. I see us as a top 3 team in the OVC consistently and I see us competing for conference championships. I see us continuing to build a loyal fan base and continuing to be valuable contributing members of the Belmont and Nashville community. I see us recruiting the best local talent in the state and expanding our recruiting reach into areas that give us the greatest competitive advantage. I see us emerging as a premier mid-major program.

I see a bright future for Belmont women's basketball in three years and for years to come.

MARVISH O D G E S Assistant Coach Second Year at Belmont

Marvis Hodges joins the Bruins for his second year as an assistant coach with the women's basketball program in 2011.

He will focus on player development, coordinate the team's strength and conditioning, as well as assist with recruiting.

"Coach Hodges has carved out a name for himself as a dogged, persistent recruiter and a meticulous post instructor.

He takes an immense amount of pride in his preparation of our post players and in his contributions to overall game planning,” Ezell said. “The development of Haley Nelson, Alyssa Visbeen, Tristan Daniel and Shai Wilkins throughout our first year at Belmont has been noticeable and impactful for our team.”

“Marvis and I have been coaching together for over 10 years now and I am continually impressed with who he has grown to be as a coach, a husband and a father. Marvis exemplifies what loyalty and hard work can do in the coaching profession. I struggle to find the right words to sum up all that he and his family are to me and our program. Grateful is the centerpiece of my thoughts about Coach Hodges.”

Hodges came to the Bruins after spending two years under new Belmont head coach Brittney Ezell at the University of Montevallo.

Hodges began his coaching career with Ezell as her assistant at Okaloosa Walton Community College in Niceville, Fla. During his three years at OWCC, he was assisted with recruiting and scouting, monitoring the pre-season strength and conditioning program, coordinating the film exchange and team basketball camps. He also helped coordinate the team academic study hall, where the team was the recipient of the NJCAA Academic Top 25 Award in 2007.

Before beginning his coaching career, Hodges served as student assistant and team manager for the women's basketball program at his alma mater, the University of Alabama, for two years. He was also the team manager for the men's and women's basketball programs at the University of South Alabama from 2000-02.

Hodges earned his B.S. in Human Environmental Science from Alabama in 2004. He also earned an Associate's degree in Education from Faulkner State Community College in 1998.

Marvis, his wife Arissa and their son Dillon, live in Nashville.

JONATHAND A V I S Assistant Coach Fourth Year at Belmont

Jonathan Davis enters his fourth year on the sidelines for the Belmont women's basketball program and his second under Head Coach Brittney Ezell in 2011. He will serve as an assistant coach responsible for a wide-ranging array of duties. In addition to his roles in player development and recruiting, Davis will coordinate team travel and oversee the team's budget. He will also serve as the program’s summer camp director.

"Coach Davis has lived up to every recommendation I received for him in the hiring process a year ago. He truly bleeds Belmont blue and has a deep seeded love for Belmont University as a whole,” Ezell said. “His attention to detail and his daily pursuit of perfection is evident in all that he does for our players and the program. He has an incredible understanding of the expectations that we place on guards in our system and he continually improves his teaching and communication methods with our players.”

“Jonathan possesses a fun mix of youthful exuberance and professional foresight that makes working with him so enjoyable. I am impressed daily by his ability to prepare for, to troubleshoot and to anticipate any and all the needs of our program and of mine, as a head coach. He takes a lot on his shoulders and handles it with grace and a willingness to go above and beyond what is expected,” Ezell said.

"He is meticulously organized, extremely sharp and a strong representative of the University. He, like Coach Peterson and Coach Hodges, has an intense desire to see this program succeed and to better himself daily in the coaching profession. Coach Davis is well received all over campus and I am pleased that we were able to have him join our staff."

Davis joined the women's basketball program following an extended stint with Belmont's men's basketball program as an undergraduate, postgraduate, and volunteer assistant. He served six seasons in a variety of operations-related capacities for the Bruins - including three consecutive seasons in which the team won the Atlantic Sun conference tournament and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament. During his time with the men's program, the Bruins produced four 20-win seasons and an overall record of 120-67.

The Nashville native graduated from Belmont in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in business administration and in 2007, earned a master's degree in business administration from Belmont's Massey Graduate School of Business.

Davis is the son, brother, or brother-in-law of five Belmont graduates, and resides in Nashville, where he enjoys playing board games and listening to live music.

CARLEYK U H N S Assistant Coach Second Year at Belmont

Carley Kuhns joins the sidelines of the Belmont women's basketball program for her second season in 2011. She will serve as the team's academic coordinator, as well as work with compliance, player development, and recruiting.

"Coach Kuhns has made an immediate impact on our program through her management of our team's academic progress and her skill development work with our shooting guards,” Ezell said. “With a team GPA of 3.27 for the 20102011 academic year, our players responded well to the challenge that Coach Kuhns and our academic advisor, Renee Schultz, presented to our team.”

“Carley has a gentle yet firm nature that resonates well with our players. There is no question that her experience as a highly successful college player has given her credibility with our shooters. Her work with Cacy Burtnett, Molly Ernst and Julianne Downs has progressed their individual games in terms of statistics and their mental approach to becoming premier level shooters. Carly is the consummate professional and continues to display a relatable, down-to-earth persona to our players, supporters and fans.”

Kuhns comes to the Bruins after completing a two-year graduate assistantship at Valdosta State. While with the Lady Blazers, she assisted with various components of the program. Within one month of joining the Bruin staff, Kuhns was named to the prestigious Gulf South Conference All-Decade Second Team for her stellar career on the hardwood at Valdosta State.

A former student-athlete at Valdosta State, Kuhns received numerous honors during her collegiate career, including becoming the first Lady Blazer since 2001 to be named a Kodak/State Farm WBCA Honorable Mention All-American. She also recorded 1,000 career points and was a two-time First Team All-Gulf South Conference selection. Kuhns, a two-time captain, also helped VSU earn a trip to the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen during her senior campaign with a 26-6 overall record. She led the team in scoring, averaging 10.4 points per game, and shot .373 percent from behind the three-point arc that season.

Kuhns earned her Bachelor's in Physical Education from Valdosta State in 2008 and completed her Master's in Higher Education Leadership in 2010.

A newlywed, the former Carley Peterson, was married in October 2011 to Matt Kuhns.

ROCK HILL, S.C.– The Belmont women's basketball team turned on the afterburners down the stretch and pulled out a win over Winthrop on the road. The Bruins came from behind the defeat the Eagles, 59-50, and advance to the winner's game at the Winthrop Classic.

After the break, Daniel quickly added five to the Bruins' tally and moved the team to within a basket, 29-27, by the 17:36 mark.

A three pointer from Alyssa Visbeen followed by a floater by Rachel Swisher put Belmont on top, 41-39, with just under nine minutes remaining in regulation. The game suddenly turned into the Tristan Daniel show as she went on her own 7-2 run to put the Bruins on top, 4844, with just over four and half minutes left on the clock. BU kept piling on the points and used the clock strategically.

Shaunda Strayhorn nailed her first three of the night with 3:42 left in the contest and just one minute later, completed a three-point play to put the team on top by seven, 54-47. A trio of shots at the charity stripe by Moore and Ernst gave Belmont its first double digit advantage of the night, 57-47, with just 21 ticks remaining on the clock. Lacey Lyons returned to her same hot spot outside the arc to hit her fifth trey of the night but it was too little to late as the Bruins picked up two more points at the line from Burtnett.

The Eagles jumped out to an early 8-0 lead behind back-to-back three pointers from Lyons before Tristan Daniel netted a jumper in the paint at the 16:20 mark to finally get the Bruins on the board. BU pulled the long range trigger seven times in the first eight minutes but was unable to break the ice. Finally, a triple by Cacy Burtnett opened the door for a 7-0 run to put the Bruins on top for the first time, 16-15, with just over eight minutes left in the half.

Spotty shooting plagued BU in the waning minutes of the half as the team could only tally three points by the two minute mark, after a free throw by Daniel and a bucket from Tereva Moore. Winthrop was unable to fully capitalize and the Bruins continued to keep the score close down to the final 60 seconds of play. A trey from the top of the arc by the Eagles with one tick left on the clock sent the teams to the locker rooms

Strayhorn opened the second stanza with a trey from the left corner and the Bruins quickly turned up a defensive spark that seemed to be lacking in the first half. Kristin Nash's free throws helped Belmont to inch as close as 21 but that would be as close as they would come for the remainder of the game.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Belmont women's basketball team was unable to duplicate its come from behind feat on day two of the Winthrop Classic and was handed its first loss of the 2010-11 campaign. The Bruins fell to tournament champion, Central Michigan, 102-71.

A slow start hampered the Bruins to open the contest but Tristan Daniel netted Belmont's first points of the day. Molly Ernst drained back-to-back three pointers to close the gap to 15-8 by the 15:28 mark. The team went ice cold from the floor, slipping into a drought that lasted just under four minutes, and the Chippewas were able to build a 15 point advantage. Fouls began to cost BU throughout the first stanza and CMU was able to easily pile on the points from the free-throw line.

Tristan Daniel led the Bruins in scoring with 17 points at Winthrop.

four minutes, treys from Ernst and successful trips to the stripe by Shaunda Strayhorn and Daniel narrowed the gap to 22. The front half of a pair at the line by Strayhorn with seven seconds left sent the Bruins to the locker room down 47-26.

The spotty shooting continued to plague the Bruins as the half drew near a close and the team slipped as low as 16.7 percent shooting percentage before picking it up before the final horn. The Chippewas eventually blew their lead up to as many as 29, 40-11, before the Bruins could begin chipping away at the lead with six minutes remaining. Over the next

Molly Ernst dropped in a career-high 20 points versus Central Michigan.

A drive in the lane and a triple from Strayhorn brought the Bruin fans and the bench to their feet as BU closed the gap to 23, 66-43, with just over 12 minutes remaining in the contest.

A pair at the stripe knocked down by Daniel completed a 7-0 run for the Bruins and moved them to within 23, 66-45, with just under 12 minutes left in regulation. The team's inconsistent floor shooting and CMU's already large lead was just too much to overcome down the stretch, Belmont battled back to trim the Chippewa lead down to 28,6, 85-59, with five and a half minutes on the clock but that would be as close as they would get. CMU went on to take the first-ever meeting between the programs, 102-71.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont women's basketball team was tripped up by an early deficit and dropped its home opener to visiting UTMartin at the Curb Event Center. The Bruins fell to the Skyhawks, 73-52, marking the first time since 2000 UTM was able to topple BU. The Bruins hustled for an early 5-2 advantage behind a turnaround lay-in by Tereva Moore and a three pointer by Cacy Burtnett. The teams briefly battled back and forth before UT-Martin used a three-point play to rattle off 12 consecutive points, all from behind the arc, to take a 19-7 lead with 12:53 remaining in the first half.

After a quick timeout called by the BU bench, Rachel Swisher was able to drill a trey to cut into the deficit, 19-10, just 30 seconds later.

The Skyhawks continued streaking, shooting over 70 percent from the three-point range at one point, eventually building a 21-point lead, 31-10, by the 8:31 mark. Belmont called another timeout and saw Molly Ernst, the current Atlantic Sun Newcomer of the Week fire off a triple from the top of the arc, looking to spark the Bruins. Unfortunately, BU remained

Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics Tennessee Tech vs BELMONT 11-21-10 3:00 PM at Nashville, Tenn. (Curb Event Center)

Belmont opened the second half with a quick set pass to break the 20-point threshold with a lay-up by Moore and the UT-Martin bench immediately called timeout to make sure they wouldn't rest on their sizeable lead. The Bruins defensive effort intensified and they immediately began forcing the Skyhawks down to the final seconds of the shot clock to make a shot attempt. BU continued to chip away at the UTM lead using trips to the charity stripe by Ernst and Tristan Daniel, followed by a trey from Ernst to trim the lead to 21, 50-29, with 12:38 left in regulation.

The Skyhawks' collective hot hands from the first stanza substantially cooled and the Bruins continued to work at closing the gap despite time appearing to not being on their side.

Belmont turned to outside shooting to narrow the difference in score with a trey from Burtnett opening the door for three consecutive from Ernst over a three-minute span to move the Bruins to within 22, 67-45, with 3:55 left on the clock. Another flurry of action in the final 90 seconds of the game, including a lay-up and three from Kristin Nash, would fall just short of helping the Bruins rebound from the deficit as the Skyhawks held on for the 7352 victory.

After the break, TTU briefly tied the score at 31 before BU regained the lead behind buckets from Moore put BU on top, 37-34, four minutes into the half. The Golden Eagles inched to within one, 37-36, 45 seconds later but a put back tip-in by Whitney Seals on the next possession kept the margin at three. TTU would force two ties over the next two and a half minutes but a trey by Alyssa Visbeen forced the Golden Eagle bench to burn a timeout as the Bruins took a 44-41 lead with 10:53 left on the clock.

By the 8:46 mark, the teams were locked in their fourth scoring stalemate of the half, this time at 46. A drive up the middle and a lay-up

by Kristin Nash put BU back on top. TTU used three consecutive trips to the free-throw line to pull ahead for the first time in the half, 5148. However, the Bruins were able to knot the score at 52 with just under five minutes left on the clock. TTU was able to take the lead again with a surge but BU continued to press over the next three minutes. By the final 90 seconds, the score locked again, this time at 56.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tripped up by fouls midway through the second stanza, the Belmont women's basketball team was edged in the final 90 seconds of regulation, falling to visiting Tennessee Tech, 61-56, at the Curb Event Center.

After a slow start that found them down by as many as nine, 11-2, the Bruins were sparked by the return of Haley Nelson. Her work inside the paint closed the gap to one, 14-13, by the 11:38 mark. By the eight minute mark, another jumper by Nelson and a lay-in by Rachel Swisher made it a two-point game, 24-22.

The teams continued trading baskets but the score would remain tight down the stretch. A jumper from Cacy Burtnett moved Belmont to within one and it was another bucket from Nelson that knotted the score at 27 with 2:15 left. The Bruins gained their first lead of the game, 29-27, with Tereva Moore's successful trip to the stripe barely one minute later.

Tacarra Hayes hit a pair at the line to lock the score at 29 but free throws from Crystal Kesler and a defensive effort that denied shot opportunities helped Belmont regain the lead, 31-29,

Rachel Swisher shot 50 percent from the floor against Tennessee Tech.

Kellie Cook had back-to-back trips to the freethrow line after Bruins found themselves in foul trouble midway through the stanza. She hit all four, giving TTU a four-point, 60-56, advantage with 25.3 ticks remaining. The Bruins were

unable to convert at the stripe on the next possession and Cook was fouled again, hitting one of two with 14 seconds left. Belmont was unable to convert on a pair of shots just before the buzzer and fell, 61-56.

Molly Ernst and a jumper in the paint from Nelson to gain the lead, 28-21, with 4:14 left on the clock. UCA finally broke a scoring drought that lasted more than three and half minutes with a triple from Megan Herbert. BU used the clock to its advantage to hold onto its lead in the final two minutes. Strayhorn nailed a jumper and Nelson was able to hit the back end of a pair at the stripe before the final 60 seconds while UCA remaining icy from the floor, shooting just over 25 percent. Strong defense allowed Ernst to drill a trey from the left side with eight ticks remaining to head into the locker room up, 34-28.

However, the Bruins, who were in the double bonus by that point, missed only three free throws on nine trips to the line. Two frantic three-point attempts by Micah Rice in the final 17 ticks missed the mark and Belmont was able to hold on for the 78-73 victory.

CONWAY, Ark. – The Belmont women's basketball team held off a last minute surge on the road at Central Arkansas to come away with a 78-73 victory.

With the win, the Bruins snapped a three-game skid and improve in the all-time series, 3-0.

The third ever matchup between the programs started as a three-point contest between the two, before Central Arkansas pulled away by six, 17-11 with just under 12 minutes left in the first stanza. Suddenly BU exploded and used jumpers from Haley Nelson and a pair at the charity stripe from Kristin Nash to knot the game at 17 with 8:37 remaining before the break.

Belmont used an 11-0 run with treys coming from Shaunda Strayhorn, Cacy Burtnett and

Kristin Nash was perfect at the charity stripe at Central Arkansas.

The Sugar Bears opened the second stanza with a more aggressive defensive effort but the Bruins continued to add to their point tally from nearly every player on the floor at any given time. By the 12 minute mark, Belmont had rebuilt its 10-point lead, pulling away 4838, after back-to-back jumpers from Nelson.

BU expanded its lead to as many as 13 by the eight minute mark but UCA worked to keep the margin within 10 down the stretch.

With five minutes remaining before the end of regulation, Belmont had a commanding 12point lead, 59-47, but the scrappy Sugar Bears continued to press in hopes of closing the gap.

UCA rallied and made a strong effort to catch up, using a series of three pointers in the final 90 seconds to move as close as two, 73-71.

Bears were only able to pull away by two over the same stretch. A tip-in by Alyssa Visbeen forced another tie at 20 with 3:54 on the clock.

The Bears found a way to knock down only their second trey of the half to go up, 23-20, but Daniel drained a pair at the charity stripe to cut the advantage to one with three minutes left before the teams headed into the locker rooms. Each team struggled to maintain possession, looking to hold on for the last shot of the half.

After the break, Mercer jumped out the gate with a 12-3 run to pull ahead, 35-28, three minutes into the second half. Burtnett scored in the paint and a put back by Visbeen cut the advantage to five, 37-32, with 15:30 on the clock. However, the Bears were able to string together baskets to take its first double digit lead of the game, 42-32, just two minutes later. BU began to surge over the next four minutes, sparked by a layup and a triple from Whitney Seals. The Bears went icy from the floor for three minutes and free throws from Daniel and another trey from Burtnett moved BU to within four, 46-42, with only 8:18 remaining in regulation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont women's basketball team held off a feisty visiting Tennessee State team for its first win at the Curb Event Center in the Ezell Era. The Bruins held off down the stretch for an 80-66 victory.

Belmont pulled away early briefly against TSU sparked by shots by Tereva Moore and Haley Nelson before the teams got locked in a back and forth battle that resulted in a tie at 11 with just over 15 minutes still left in the first stanza. The Bruins were able to stretch their lead to three before a three-point play netted

by Simone Hopes made it a one-point game, 19-18, by the 9:27 mark. The Lady Tigers kept the game within two points over the next two minutes before surging around the five minute mark.

TSU was able to take over the lead for the first time, 33-32, since the opening possession after Avery Jones hit a jumper and drained a pair at the free-throw line. Jones' effort sparked a 62 run to help with them holding onto the lead as the half neared the end. A triple from Molly Ernst put the Bruins on top, 41-40, with 90 seconds remaining in the half. The Lady Tigers used a fast break layup by Ashley Tate to take a one point lead, 42-41, with just 41 ticks remaining before the teams headed into the locker rooms. However, Alyssa Visbeen was fouled during an attempt from behind the arc.

She knocked down all three to give the Bruins a two-point advantage, 44-42, with 10 seconds left but it would be Tennessee State that would have the last points of the half with Hopes banking in a lay-up. The teams headed into the break knotted for the eighth time in the half at 44 apiece.

The second half opened with a heated back and forth battle with the teams matching basket for basket. The battle resulted in four ties before BU grabbed the 54-52 lead with 11:42 left in the half. A jumper from Whitney Seals and four consecutive free throws by Shaunda Strayhorn gave the Bruins their largest lead of the half, 58-52, with 10:21 left on the clock.

TSU struggled from the hardwood and slipped into a scoring drought that lasted over four and a half minutes before Alana Morris hit a jumper from the left side.

Strayhorn drained a falling down NBA-range three pointer to put BU back on top by seven, 61-54 with 7:20 left on the clock. TSUrallied back and used a three-pointer by Jasmine Brimm to cut the Belmont lead down to three, 64-61, barely three minutes later. However, Nelson was unstoppable in the paint and found the bottom of the net on consecutive plays to extend Belmont's lead to nine, 70-61. BU was in the double bonus and it would prove costly down the stretch for TSU. TSU attempted to slow the clock by fouling, sending Strayhorn to the line six times over the final 1:55 where she hit all but two. Her near perfect performance at the stripe secured Belmont's 80-66 victory,

giving first year Head Coach Brittney Ezell her first win at the Curb Event Center.

The Bruins put together a 12-1 run to expand their lead to 20, 40-20, after a triple from Visbeen with just over 90 seconds remaining before the break.

Belmont controlled the clock for the remainder of the half but the Owls managed to add three more points to their tally before the horn. The Bruins easily carried a 40-23 advantage into the locker rooms.

The Bruins continued streaking to open the second stanza with Ernst drilling back-to-back treys, showing why she is ranked sixth in the Nation in three-point shooting. KSU began to play a little more lively but would still be down by 20, 53-33, by the 13:39 mark. The contest quickly turned into a three-point shootout on both ends but the Bruins easily came out on top to stay ahead by 22 with 9:37 left on the clock.

Kristin Nash hit the back end of a pair at the free throw to give Belmont its largest lead of the night, 23, 63-40, barely 20 seconds later.

Haley Nelson opened the contest with back-toback jumpers before Kennesaw State would cut the lead in half with a bucket from Ashley Holliday. The Owls were able to knot the score at seven by the 16:40 mark after converting a three-point play. However, the Bruins soon caught fire offensively and quickly began piling on the points. By the 9:45 mark, BU had blown its lead up to 25-9, with baskets coming from Strayhorn, Nelson and Cacy Burtnett, sophomore Alyssa Visbeen and freshman Molly Ernst, taking advantage of KSU's offensive effort that seemingly ground to a halt.

After a sluggish start, a pair of three pointers from the top of the arc from Cacy Burtnett cut the Alabama lead to one basket, 8-6, by the 16 minute mark. Both teams struggled from the floor, combining for only five shots made with just under 12 minutes left in the first stanza.

BU opened the second half much more aggressively.

However, Alabama was able to rebuild its lead to 20 by the 13:04 mark.

FT. MYERS, Fla. – Despite a tough defensive effort, the Belmont women's basketball team was unable to topple Atlantic Sun leader Florida Gulf Coast on the road. Plagued by icy shooting from the floor and behind the arc, the Bruins fell, 79-39.

The Bruins opened the first stanza with a strong defensive presence on both ends of the court, keeping the game within three points for the first four minutes of action. Suddenly, the Eagles exploded for a 12-2 run to pull ahead, 16-4, three minutes later. Despite being down, Belmont remained composed and looked to upperclassman leadership to take control.

Florida Gulf Coast began leaning on its outside shot down the stretch of the first half as the Bruins made it nearly impossible for them to drive and score. However, the Eagles were easily able to widen their lead with their success from behind the arc. Belmont's defensive effort kept the Eagles from scoring for stretches of upward of three minutes at a time but it was unable to fully take advantage. A pair at the charity stripe by Tristan Daniel cut the lead to 12, 26-14, but that would be as close as the Bruins would come before the break. FGCU would string together an 8-1 run to wrap the half and take a 36-16 lead into the locker room.

After the break, it would take nearly three minutes before the Bruins would find the bottom of the net courtesy of the back end of a pair at the stripe by Burtnett. Belmont continued to struggle from long range in its attempt to quickly close the gap. Haley Nelson did her part to narrow the gap, exploding for her own five point run to move BU to within 35, 60-25, with 10:20 left in regulation.

would come in the waning minutes. Nelson again boosted BU's point tally in the final 90 seconds but it would be too little too late as FGCU went on to take the game, 79-39.

expand their lead to as many as four, 21-17, before BU began chipping away at the advantage. Burtnett drained a triple from the left side to cut the lead to one with 2:58 left on the clock and a three from Molly Ernst 30 seconds later gave Belmont the lead again, 23-21.

However, McGowan repeated her feat of three minutes before and used another steal and fast break layup to give Stetson the narrow 24-23 lead as the teams headed to the locker rooms.

The Bruins opened the second stanza with a 92 run with back-to-back jumpers from Nelson and a trey and a pair at the charity stripe from Burtnett, forcing the Stetson bench to burn a timeout to regroup. The Hatters continued to struggle in shooting from the floor, only firing at a 14.3 percent clip five minutes in. BU put together another run, this time 10-2, to pull away by 12, 45-33, by the 11:12 mark. Four minutes later, Stetson would hustle to close the gap to eight points, 47-39, but that would be as close as it would come as the Bruins continued to pile on the points.

Hatter bench burned its final timeout looking for a strategy for the remaining seconds.

However, it was too little too late as Shaunda Strayhorn drilled a pair at the line to seal the game for the Bruins. Belmont went on to take the game, 59-45, and extend the team's series win streak to 11.

DELAND, Fla. – The Belmont women's basketball team found its offensive rhythm and was nearly unstoppable from behind the free-throw line and pulled out a 59-45 win on the road over Stetson.

Both teams struggled to find the bottom of the net for the first three and a half minutes, combining for 17 shots before Haley Nelson notched back-to-back jumpers. She was followed by a completed three-point play from Kristin Nash to put the Bruins ahead, 7-0, by the 14:47 mark. A dry spell from the floor helped Stetson gain ground and move within two, 12-10, four minutes later.

Belmont finally broke the ice around the rim with a pair of free throws by Cacy Burtnett.

Stetson managed to take the lead for the first time in the contest behind a steal and fast break layup by Victoria McGowan with 4:19 remaining in the half. The Hatters would

Tristan Daniel went 4-for-4 at the free-throw line at Stetson.

With only 3:57 remaining in regulation, Belmont found itself ahead by 14, 53-39, after another jumper from Nelson. BU would grab their largest lead, 15, with a pair at the charity stripe by Tristan Daniel with 1:13 left on the clock.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont women's basketball team used a complete attack on both sides of the ball to extend its win streak to two games at the Curb Event Center. The Bruins breezed by visiting North Florida, 65-48.

The Bruins opened the first half with a 7-0 run courtesy of a triple from Cacy Burtnett and followed by back-to-back jumpers from Haley Nelson. UNF finally notched its first points of the game after more than four minutes had ticked off the clock and worked to make it a one-point game, 7-6, barely 60 second later. A triple by Shaunda Strayhorn put BU ahead by four, 10-6, but the Ospreys worked to knot the game at 10 by the 11:49 mark. BU pulled away

However, the Ospreys were restarted by a pair of back-to-back three pointers by Jadhken Kerr that cut the BU lead to one again, 17-16, but Strayhorn knocked down the back of a pair at the lien to knot the score at 17. The Bruins were able to regain the lead with the help of a trey from Visbeen before UNF moved to within one again, 22-21, with 3:09 left on the clock.

Rachel Swisher exploded and opened up a 7-0 run for the Bruins. Her five-point contribution was capped by a put back tip-in by Nelson to send BU to locker room ahead, 29-21.

Just three minutes after the break, the Bruins quickly built their first double digit lead of the game with a Nelson jumper and a pair of free throws from Burtnett. BU continued piling on the points and used a 9-1 run to pull away 4226 by the 12:30 mark. North Florida would use a Juliemay Syquio jumper followed by a Kerr three made it an 11-point game with 11:26 remaining in regulation but that would be as close as the score would come for the rest of the game.

Molly Ernst, drilled a trey left side to expand Belmont's lead to 16, 48-32, with 9:36 left on the clock. The Bruins maintained their com-

T HE A LL -S TRIPLIN T EAM

Striplin Gymnasium served Belmont athletics from 1962-2001. The 2,500 seat arena also housed locker room facilities for baseball and both soccer programs.

The Belmont women’s basketball team has found nearly unmatched success when playing in the 37-year-old facility. Coach Betty Wiseman established the home-court advantage as Belmont’s first coach. The team had four undefeated seasons during her tenure, including a twoyear 22 game winning streak at Striplin. During Coach Wiseman’s 16year-stint as head coach, Belmont hosted such teams as Western Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

In the fall of 1984, Tony Cross returned to his alma mater to begin a coaching career that has found nearly unparalled success at Belmont. In 17 seasons, BU never had a losing record inside the confines of Striplin winning at least 13 games ten times. During the 1990-91 season, the team reached uncharted territory, compiling a 20-0 record and using that season to catapult the team to a school record 28 home wins in a row between 1990-1992. One of the most telling statistics is the Bruins record at home since its first Division I schedule in 1997. Belmont has compiled a 45-7 record, including a streak of 27 in a row.

The Bruins closed out Striplin Gym in grand fashion, by defeating archrival Lipscomb by a 78-62 score in the final game at Striplin. The AllStriplin team was announced at the game in front of 1,103 fans on hand to see the final ‘Battle of the Boulevard’ in Striplin Gym.
