SEASON PREVIEW

BRUIN SOFTBALL 2011

FRESH FACES AND NEW BEGINNINGS Belmont welcomes six newcomers to the team for the 2011 campaign. Five freshman and one transfer will look to earn playing time right away and help the Bruins continue to improve through early portions of the season as the team prepares for conference play. The main goal for the team this season is to continue making strides after growing pains last year laid the foundation for this year’s experienced squad to build on. In addition to the newcomers, the Bruins welcome back 10 returning letterwinners from last season’s team. Belmont will look to move up in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings this year and try to earn the school’s first-ever appearance in the conference tournament and the chance to play for an NCAA Tournament bid. As always, the A-Sun Conference is expected to be tough with returning champion Lipscomb picked to repeat atop the league by conference coaches in the preseason balloting. The road to Spartanburg, S.C., home of the 2011 A-Sun Tournament, will be a long one for the Bruins, who were picked to finish 11th in the league in the preseason poll. RETURNING EXPERIENCE Among the returning letterwinners this year are three seniors: Ashley Smith, Julie Harmon, and Kelley Cash. Head Coach Chris Kuhlmeyer will look to those three seniors to provide leadership on and off the field. In addition to his seniors, Kuhlmeyer will need production and leadership from his five juniors. Two sophomores, including Devon Schmidt, who was the only Bruin to earn postseason honors as a member of the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team, round out the upperclassmen for Belmont. Kuhlmeyer expects all of his upperclassmen to contribute leadership while competing for starting positions and playing a role in getting the Belmont program on track. While the record may have showed another disappointing softball season, Kuhlmeyer believes it didn’t reflect the strides the team made. The experienced group developed strong team chemistry and began to see exactly what it will take to be competitive at the Division 1 level. Kuhlmeyer expects to see a raised level of commitment and effort by his team this season after getting on the right track and beginning the rebuilding process last year. PITCHERS Schmidt will lead an experienced pitching corps that also includes junior Ashley Byers, sophomore Courtney Elrod, and freshman Mia Vierra. Schmidt was the only Bruin to earn postseason conference from the Atlantic Sun last season. After redshirting her freshman year due to injury in 2009, Schmidt returned last season and earned a spot on the A-Sun All-Conference Team. CATCHERS As the second half of the BU battery, the group of catchers brings experience and leadership behind the plate with two juniors, Stayci Cook and Hannah Irwin. Joining the juniors this season is freshman Kimberly Johnson.

OUTFIELD Like the infield, the outfield is full of depth and experience for 2011. Coach Kuhlmeyer and his staff are hoping that the combination can provide defensive support for the pitching staff during the spring campaign. Two seniors and a junior make up the outfield core, while three new freshmen will join the mix this season. Freshman M.J. Lawson will join fellow freshman Ashley Hammer and junior Amanda Buntin, as well as seniors Harmon and Cash in the outfield.

HITTING Byers will look to lead the Bruin attack this season after turning in the best hitting performance on the team last spring with a .257 batting average and a .500 slug percentage, as well as a team-high 10 home runs. The 10 homers placed her first on Belmont’s singleseason list for the DI Era. The Belmont attack will also be supplemented by Gift, who brings a .302 batting average as a designated hitter to the squad. FOCUSING ON IMPROVEMENT The program will have a tough road ahead of them in the upcoming season according to the schedule Head Coach Chris Kuhlmeyer built during the offseason. Kuhlmeyer is hoping to use the challenging non-conference schedule, featuring a slew of teams from several power conferences, to find out just where his program stands during his second year at the helm. "The early season games serve as a benchmark that will tell us exactly where our team is," said Kuhlmeyer. "We hope that by competing against new teams we haven't seen before, we can get a sense of where we are in comparison to those programs. It will always be our philosophy to play a tough schedule early in the season." EARLY CHALLENGES The 2011 schedule features 21 teams that finished inside the top 100

INFIELD An experienced infield anchored by three juniors, a sophomore, and a senior, will look to provide stout defense for the Bruins this spring. Junior Cassie Bollin joins Byers, Irwin, Smith, and Elrod in the infield and the upperclassmen will look to provide leadership by example for the two freshman, Kayla Brown and Ashley Hammer, who are joining the infield ranks.

UTILITY The utility position will be filled again by senior Kelly Cash and by sophomore transfer Becca Gift, who will also fill a role as a designated hitter during the 2011 season. Gift transfers from North Dakota State and brings some offensive power to the Bruins as well as the ability to play anywhere needed. Kuhlmeyer was quick to compliment Cash on her leadership during the off-season and on the strong fall season the senior turned in.

in RPI last season. The non-conference schedule, which includes five weekend tournaments, will pit the Bruins against teams from the Ohio Valley Conference, Big Ten, ACC, SEC, and Big East. The season will kick-off with the first ever Belmont/Hampton InnBrentwood Spring Tournament. The inaugural event will feature Austin Peay, Wright State, and IUPUI. Belmont will play their first tournament at the Battle Ground Academy in Franklin before moving to their new facility at Rose Park. "Playing teams inside the top 100 RPI should really give us an indication of where we are," Kuhlmeyer said. "This season we want to continue to make strides forward, learn to compete and win the games we are supposed to win, climb the conference ladder. That is our goal, to continue to get better and you have to play tough

teams to do that." The Bruins will match up with Austin Peay for the second time in less than a week when they travel to Clarksville, Tenn., to take part in the Austin Peay Tournament. That tournament will feature games against Ball State out of the MAC, Cleveland State out of the Horizon League, UMKC out of the Summit League, and the host team, Austin Peay. The tournament will be held in Clarksville. A double-header at regional rival Tennessee State comes between the Austin Peay Tournament and a road trip to Auburn, Ala., for the War Eagle Classic where the Bruins will match up with Auburn, Georgia Southern, and another regional rival in Murray State. The month of March will find Belmont becoming very familiar with Tennessee Tech. The Bruins will take on TTU with a midweek double header and then head to Cookville, Tenn., for the Tennessee Tech Tournament. Belmont will face one of Coach Kulhmeyer's former teams when they take on Samford, as well as matching up again with Tennessee Tech before finishing out the weekend tournament with two games against teams from power conferences in NC State from the ACC and Louisville from the Big East. While Belmont students are on spring break, the softball team will be hard at work, taking on SIU Edwardsville in a home

BRUIN SOFTBALL 2011 double-header before traveling to Atlanta for the Georgia Tech SpringHill Suites Buckhead Classic. The Bruins will face their second MAC team of the season when they meet Bowling Green. Belmont will also take on Georgia State and then finish the tournament against Penn State out of the Big Ten and host Georgia Tech from the ACC. The Bruins will return to Tennessee to take on regional rival Austin Peay for the third time as they travel again to Clarksville on March 16th. Belmont will close out the first portion of the nonconference portion of their schedule over the next two games, hosting Southeast Missouri State in a double-header at Rose Park and then traveling to regional rival Western Kentucky. CONFERENCE BATTLES CONTINUE The end of the week will bring the start of conference play, as Belmont opens the Atlantic Sun schedule on the road at USC Upstate and East Tennessee State. By the time conference play begins, Kuhlmeyer hopes his team will have been prepared by their tough non-conference schedule. "I feel like we have to play a tough early schedule in order to be ready for our rigorous conference schedule," he said. "Our conference is one of the toughest there is, so putting our team through the fire early on will hopefully have us prepared to face these teams week in and week out." The Bruins return to Nashville for a midweek nonconference meeting with Samford in a double-header. Belmont begins the month of April hosting their first conference game of the season against Campbell. The meeting will be the last A-Sun meeting between Campbell and Belmont as the Camels get set to leave the conference after the 2011 season. Another midweek non-conference game against a regional rival starts off the next round of games for the Bruins as they head to Murray, Ky., to take on Murray State. Following the Murray State double-header, Belmont returns to conference play, hosting North Florida and Jacksonville. The Bruins then travel to Florida to face Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast. Following their trip to the Sunshine State, Belmont will return to Rose Park for a regional match-up against UT-Martin in a home double-header April 19th. The Martin game marks the first of a three night home stand for the Bruins, as they host Mercer and Kennesaw State at the end of the week in two conference doubleheaders. Belmont then gets a slight break in the action before heading to Lipscomb for the final conference game of the season on April 30th. The Bruins will close out the 2011 regular season by hosting Murray State at Rose Park on May 2nd. "It is great to have the Battle of the Boulevard as the last game of the conference season," Kuhlmeyer said. "It adds a lot to that final game to have it be against our rival. Every conference game is important during the season, but this game also has bragging rights on the line and we're excited to meet Lipscomb in that final game."

Chris Kuhlmeyer begins his second season as the Head Softball Coach at Belmont. Kuhlmeyer was named the head coach of Belmont Softball on July 10, 2009. Seasoned with experience from several of the nation's top programs and academic institutions, Kuhlmeyer ushered in a new era for the program. Kuhlmeyer spent the previous three seasons as the top assistant coach at Wichita State University. Over that stretch, the Shockers won 91 games - including four against nationallyranked opponents (Illinois State, Southern Illinois, Texas, Washington) - in the highly-competitive Missouri Valley Conference. Last season, the MVC sported four teams in the Top 80 of the final NCAA Softball Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). Kuhlmeyer made a profound impact in recruiting and player development at Wichita State. For instance in 2007, Kuhlmeyer helped transform then freshman infielder Kara L'Huillier into one of the top fielding catchers in the Missouri Valley and the NCAA. L'Huillier, who had no previous experience behind the plate, made only one error in conference play and threw out 10 runners attempting to steal base. "We are excited to have Chris on our staff," Strickland said. "We feel his background and experience give him all the tools he needs to be a success at Belmont. We are confident he will take our softball program to new heights." Prior to joining the staff at Wichita State, Kuhlmeyer spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Samford University. While in Birmingham, Kuhlmeyer served as the recruiting coordinator, first base coach and primary hitting and catching instructor for the Bulldogs. During his stead, Samford registered its most successful stretch in school history, winning 27 or more games in three of his four campaigns. The Bulldogs were among the NCAA leaders in stolen bases per game in 2006. Previously, Kuhlmeyer served two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Baylor University. At Baylor, he shaped his coaching instruction of catchers and infielders, as well as overseeing the program's booster club and field maintenance. The Anacoco, La. native also spent the summer of 2000 as head coach of the Louisiana Lady Hawks of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) 16-and-under league. He led the Lady Hawks to three tournament titles and top three finishes at both ASA and National Softball Association (NSA) state tournaments. The 33-year-old began his coaching career at his alma mater, Louisiana State University. He spent the 2000 season as a volunteer assistant coach for the Bayou Bengals and three seasons as a student manager while earning his bachelor's degree in education with a concentration in sport studies. Kuhlmeyer is a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and has served on the association's Internet Committee. He is married to the former Shelley Dykes of Baton Rouge, La. The couple has a daughter, Addison, and a son, Jared.

“FROM HERE TO ANYWHERE...”

In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The 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, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 121st year of higher education on this site. Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2011, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University at No. 5 in the Best Regional Universities—South category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent top five ranking, Belmont has stood out for three consecutive years as one of U.S. News & World Report’s most cited “Schools to Watch” in the nation.

Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville 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. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of

Vital to the Belmont student experience are service learning, volunteerism and mission projects that invest in surrounding communities. Through the efforts of students and faculty, Belmont has touched lives in Nashville’s charitable organizations, its growing Hispanic community, area tutoring programs, neighboring businesses and mentoring programs, as well as inner-city and overseas mission projects, including trips to the Appalachian Mountains and the Ukraine. Among its student body of more than 5,900, are students from every state and more than 29 countries. In addition to seven baccalaureate degrees in over 75 areas of study, Belmont offers master’s degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, English, Education, Sport Administration, Music, Nursing and Occupational Therapy, as well as doctorates in Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Under the leadership of President Robert Fisher, Belmont celebrates more than a century of an accomplished academic heritage and commitment to educational innovation. Notably, Belmont has earned the Atlantic Sun Academic Champion Trophy seven of the last nine years. Moreover, Belmont has recently opened several impressive new facilities on campus, including McWhorter Hall and two new freshmen residences— Patton Hall and Bear House. Still, one of Belmont’s biggest achievements came in 2008 with the hosting of the Town Hall Presidential Debate, the first presidential debate to be held in Tennessee. On the one-year anniversary of the debate, the university announced that it will open a College of Law with students starting classes in fall 2011. This past October, the university broke ground on the Randall and Sadie Baskin Center which will house the College of Law when it opens in 2012. Belmont’s remarkable growth and achievement certainly give credence to its theme, From Here to Anywhere!

Enrollment is up 69 percent since Fall 2000. The overwhelming progress is â&#x20AC;&#x153;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."

BRUIN SOFTBALL 2011

BELMONT MISSION STATEMENT Belmont University is a studentcentered Christian community providing an academically challenging education that empowers men and women of diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith.

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 81 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, 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 in 2012. 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. 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 co-authored Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices 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. Expressing knowledge gained from his business degrees and management positions, 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 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. He also is a past chair of the Greater Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. 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 Southern Financial Partners, a division of Southern Bancorp, Inc., and is a director for Fifth Third Bank, Tennessee Division. In addition, he is or has been a member of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, Music City Coalition, TICUA, Cumberland Region Tomorrow and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Married for 40 years, Dr. Fisher and his wife Judy share in their commitment to Belmont University, where Mrs. Fisher provides support through her role as campus-wide coordinator of interior construction and exterior landscaping/lighting. The Fishers are the proud parents of three grown children and have two wonderful sons-in-law, one wonderful daughter-in-law and six perfect grandsons.

Now entering his 15th 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 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 and will open in the spring of 2011. 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. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded membership into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished studentathletes. 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 women's cross country, women's soccer and volleyball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 26 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02 - far and away the league standard. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past five 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 membership 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 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 seven of the past eight years. The Bruins boasted over two-thirds 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 Assocation 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, 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.
