2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2011 SEASON PREVIEW After one of the most memorable season’s in program history, eighth-year head coach Craig Gibson believes he has the necessary elements to earn a second consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament. “That run we had in May and early June last season was really remarkable and it feels like it just hasn’t stopped because it carried over into summer baseball and it has helped our guys to really work and get better daily going into this season,” said Gibson. “Its had a huge carryover effect and has created a lot of expectations for the 2011 season, but we are happy to have expectations and hopefully we will meet and bypass those expectations.” The Bears are using all the success they experienced last season as motivation going into 2011. After finally breaking through for their first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, Coach Gibson and the rest of his squad knows they belong on the national stage and that their talent is as good as anyone else’s in the country.

PITCHERS

COACHES

With 95 percent of the team’s wins (36-of-38) from last season back in the fold, the Mercer pitching staff looks primed to build upon the strides it made in 2010. A good place to start when evaluating a pitching staff is weekend personnel and the Bears are returning all three of its weekend arms. Sophomore Matt McCall, junior Brandon Love and senior Justice French are pencilled in as the Bears top three starters heading into 2011.

BEARS

McCall, a 2011 Preseason All-Atlantic Sun team selection, had a brilliant freshman season in the Orange and Black, compiling a 7-2 record, a 4.79 ERA and a team-high 73.1 innings pitched while establishing himself as the ace of the staff. Love showed he has the skills to be a front line starter for the Bears after posting team-highs in wins (8) and strikeouts (66) during his sophomore campaign.

REVIEW

With 18 letterwinners returning from last year’s championship squad, including six position players and all three weekend starters, the pieces are in place for Mercer to make another run at an Atlantic Sun title.

PREVIEW

“I think we do have the talent to get back to the NCAA’s and I feel like we do belong there again this season, ” said Gibson. “Going around the field from position to position I feel like our returning guys, even though we brought in many talented newcomers, are going to be the strength of our team. The returning guys have gotten so much better and I don’t think they want to just get there, I think they want to take that next step and stay in Regionals and advance to a Super Regional.”

The mid-week starting rotation is more up in the air, with many formidable options ready to step in and assume the role. Junior David Randall and senior Russell Moses along with newcomers Brandon Barker and Bronson Gagner will all be in the running for the positions. Randall has the best credentials out of the group, after going 5-4 with a 6.22 ERA in 10 starts last season. Moses logged two mid-week starts last season, including a gusty performance against then No. 3 ranked Georgia Tech. Barker, a freshman right-hander from Woodstock, Ga., and Gagner, a transfer from Chattahoochee Valley Community College, both played well in the fall and look to carry their performances over into the spring.

OPPONENTS RECORDS

Usually a problem area for most teams, the Mercer bullpen was without question the strength of the Bears pitching staff last season. Five relievers from last year’s core group return for 2011, including seniors J.T. Odom and Chris Newell, juniors Jacob Matthews and Colby Collins and sophomore David Teasley.

MERCER

French came on late last season as a bona fide number three starter for Coach Gibson, earning starts in the A-Sun Championship game against Jacksonville and in the NCAA Tournament against Alabama.

Odom will once again serve as the primary closer for the Bears after finishing last season with a 2-2 record, five saves a 3.38 ERA and a sparkling .171 batting average against in 42.2 innings pitched. Newell is a wild card for Coach Gibson after showing ability as a starter

(two starts) or a reliever (12 appearances, two saves) in 2010.

Teasley broke onto the scene his first year in Macon as a fiery sidearm thrower who logged an incredible 43 appearances out of the bullpen on his way to a 6-1 record and five saves. Matthews came on late last season as a reliable middle reliever for Coach Gibson, posting a team-low 2.92 ERA on the strength of 24.2 innings pitched. Collins appeared in four games last season and junior Tyler Beesley also returns from a medical redshirt ready to contribute. CATCHERS With the departure of last year’s starter Nick DiMauro, catcher is one of the few positions with some uncertainty surrounding it for the Bears going into 2011. Four candidates appear ready to take the reins including junior Jason Butts, sophomore Travis Benn and freshman Austin Barrett and Hunter Stiles. Butts appeared in 19 games in 2010 off the bench and looks like the frontrunner in the competition after fully recovering from shoulder problems that have plagued him over the past couple seasons. Benn had a great freshman campaign with the bat last season, clubbing nine home runs and collecting 26 RBI in just 71 at-bats. Barrett has very much improved according to the coaching staff after being redshirted as a true freshman last season. Stiles, a true freshman from Athens, Ga., will also look to get in the mix behind the plate for Coach Gibson in 2011. INFIELDERS

The Mercer infield will be without question the heart and sole of this year’s squad after returning three-fourths of one of the most productive infield units in the country in 2011. Junior third baseman Jacob Tanis emerged as one of the most dynamic hitters in the country last season, practically rewriting the Mercer record books in the process. The Peachtree City, Ga. native hit .388 with team-highs in home runs (22), RBI (88), slugging percentage (.735), hits (104), doubles (25) and total bases (197). For all his success in 2010 Tanis has received considerable preseason recognition going into 2011 after being named a Preseason Third Team All-American by four publications including the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), Louisville Slugger, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and College Baseball Lineup. Senior first baseman John Moreland teamed with his fellow corner infielder to form Mercer’s own version of the Bash Brothers. Moreland clubbed 21 home runs last season, making him and Tanis one of only three teammate tandems in the country who had 20 home runs apiece. Sophomore shortstop Evan Boyd had a solid freshman season after earning the starting job in camp. The slick fielding Albany, Ga. product hit .312 with 14 doubles and 48 runs scored on his way to being named a 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team member. With the departure of senior Michael Langley, Coach Gibson is looking for highly touted freshman DJ Johnson to take over at second base in 2011. Johnson, an Adel, Ga. native, decided to come to Mercer despite being drafted in the 21st round of the 2010 MLB Draft Freshman Nate Moorhouse and junior college transfers Blaine Matthews and Matthew Black will look to add depth at all four infield positions. OUTFIELDERS The Bears entire starting outfield over the past two seasons remains intact heading into 2011 having combining for 346 career starts between them. Senior Thomas Carroll returns to right field where he started 62 out of a possible 62 games last season and led all Bears outfielder with five assists. Junior Billy Burns had a breakout sophomore campaign from his center field position, hitting .381 with 73 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. Burns turned it on during the Orange and Black’s postseason run, earning 2010 A-Sun All-Tournament team and 2010 NCAA Atlanta Regional All-Tournament team selections. Senior Joe Winker returned to his freshman All-American form last season, setting new career-highs with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 49 RBI. Freshman Derrick Workman from Acworth, Ga. and Daniel Cardwell from Roswell, Ga. will also look to get in the rotation.

HEAD COACH CRAIG GIBSON EIGHTH YEAR AT MERCER MERCER, 1985

Wi h a philosophy With hil h b based d on th the concepts t off striving t i i ffor excellence in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the field, eighth-year head coach Craig Gibson has led the Mercer baseball program to great success during his tenure.

After a steady climb during the first six seasons of his tenure, Gibson’s efforts finally came to fruition in 2010 as he has guided the Bears to a 38-win season and the program’s firstever NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite the preseason doubters, the 2010 season proved to be the most storied of the program’s 62-year history. Predicted to finish tied for sixth in the A-Sun Baseball Preseason Poll, Gibson guided Mercer to a 38-24 overall record and a 16-11 mark in conference play. The 38 wins were the second-most in program history while Mercer’s 16 conference victories were the most since a 19-11 A-Sun mark in 1999. Gibson, who garnered 2010 Georgia Dugout Club Division I Coach of the Year and 2010 SoutheasternBaseball.com Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors, directed the Orange and Black to their fourth Atlantic Sun Championship in program history and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. The Bears didn’t stop there, however, as they defeated No. 3 seed Elon for their first-ever NCAA Tournament victory and took eventual Atlanta Regional champion Alabama down to the wire in a 5-3 defeat.

RECORDS OPPONENTS

Along the way, the 2010 Bears set numerous team records, including batting average (.340), runs per game (8.9) and hits (770). Gibson also tutored Consensus All-American Jacob Tanis and a total of four All A-Sun performers. 15 Bears earned A-Sun All-Academic honors in 2010, while sophomore Billy Burns garnered a CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic AllDistrict second team selection. After a nine and eight-game improvement in 2004 and 2005, Gibson’s first two years as head coach, the Bears 2006 season is the year that began the programs turnaround. Mercer catapulted from cellar-dweller to among the conference elite, finishing the season in third place in the standings at 34-26 overall and 19-11 in A-Sun play. The 2006 campaign produced the first 30-win season for Mercer since 1999, tied the school record for most A-Sun wins in school history and ended a seven-year postseason drought at the same time.

COACHES

PREVIEW

Since taking over for long-time skipper Barry Myers in 2004, Gibson has guided the Bears from the depths of the A-Sun Conference to one of the most respected programs in the southeast. With a career 200-192 record, Gibson once again has the Bears poised for success on the national stage in 2011 thanks to his prowess in player development and recruiting.

Gibson and the Bears didn’t waste time dwelling on the success of the 2006 season. The program continued its momentum the next year, winning 33 games and finishing second in the A-Sun regular season standings in 2007. Despite a nine-game drop off in 2008, the Bears still managed 17 wins in conference play, helping them earn a third consecutive No. 2 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. The 2009 edition of the Bears finished with a 23-23 record and secured the programs fourth-straight A-Sun Tournament appearance.

MercerBears.com

2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

While riding the recent wave of success, the Bears have captured a number of program-defining victories over some of the nation’s elite. Mercer secured road wins at then No. 20 ranked UCF in 2004 and toppled No. 22 College of Charleston in 2005. In 2006, Mercer knocked off a pair of elite squads beating then No. 1 ranked Florida and No. 1 ranked Clemson in back-to-back weeks. The next year brought more of the same, as the men from Macon swept a two-game series from No. 2 ranked Miami, Fla. in Coral Gables to start the 2007 season. The Bears took down another SEC giant in 2009 when it defeated #6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic. Just as the Bears have excelled as a team under Gibson, there has been no shortage of individual achievements. Since 2006, six Bears earned A-Sun All-Conference first team selections, with a total of 16 All-Conference honors given to players under Gibson’s watch. Two of those selections, 2006 closer Andrew Urena and 2010 third baseman Jacob Tanis earned consensus All-American honors from several publications. A total of 10 players under Gibson’s tutelage have been drafted since the 2006 season. Urena (11th round, Chicago White Sox) and teammate Brantley New (27th round, Boston Red Sox) went in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. Reliever Cory Gearrin (4th round, Atlanta Braves) and catcher Josh Thompson (32nd round, Florida Marlins) were selected in the 2007 Draft. Outfielders Billy Burns (16th round, Atlanta Braves) and Matthew Crawford (23rd round, Anaheim Angels) along with pitcher Lath Guyer (48th round, Tampa Bay Rays) each had their names chosen in June of 2008. Starter Dan April (39th round, Tampa Bay Rays) was the Bears lone draftee in 2009, while third baseman Jacob Tanis (26th round, Colorado Rockies) and second baseman DJ Johnson (21st round, New York Mets) were taken in the 2010 Draft. While his dedication on the field is without question, it’s Gibson’s ability to push his players in the classroom that separates him from the rest. Mercer’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) has steadily improved under Gibson, now reflecting an outstanding four-year average of 974. Gibson started his career at Mercer as a player. In his junior year of 1985, the hard-hitting first baseman earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors, while leading the Bears to an Atlantic Sun Championship. Gibson is one of only three Bears to earn A-Sun Player of the Year honors and the last Mercer player to claim the distinction. He still ranks in the Mercer single-season Top-10 in multiple statistical categories including batting average (T-8th), doubles (T-6th), home runs (8th), RBI (8th) and total bases (7th).

REVIEW

A native of Macon, Ga., Gibson and his wife Diane have two children, Lindsey (20) and Tyler (17).

BEARS

On top of his victories on the field, Gibson was a winner in the classroom, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and health, physical education and recreation in 1986, and a master’s of education in social science from Mercer in 1988.

COACHES

In August 1993, Gibson got the call to come home and serve as a full-time assistant under Myers. With his strong ties to Mercer and a wealth of coaching experience, it made former Athletics Director Bobby Pope’s choice an easy one when he elevated Gibson to the head job following Myers resignation.

PREVIEW

Following his playing career, Gibson served as a graduate assistant coach on Myers’ Mercer staff for two years. He then took over as the head baseball coach at Jupiter Community High School in Jupiter, Fla. for two years before moving over to Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach, Fla., for one season. Gibson wrapped up his high school coaching career in 1993 as the head coach at Palm Beach Gardens High School in Palm Beach, Fla.

Under his guidance, the Orange and Black’s pitching staff has grown by leaps and bounds in his first two years. The quality of player signing with Mercer has also greatly improved, with his recruiting classes ranking among the best in the competitive southeast region.

In 2010, Shade managed one of the best pitching staffs in the conference, utilizing a young but talented group of hurlers. The Bears posted a team 5.76 ERA in 2010, ranking third in the conference and 124th in the nation. The 5.76 ERA was the lowest mark posted by the Orange and Black since the 2007 season. Using Shade’s aggressive approach on the mound, Mercer ranked in the Top-100 nationally in three more statistical categories including 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings (99th), 10.4 hits allowed per nine innings (99th) and just 3.4 walks allowed per nine innings (79th). The Bears improved pitching was never more evident than in the 2010 Atlantic Sun Tournament. Mercer pitching allowed just 12 runs throughout the entire tournament, the fewest by a champion since FAU allowed only 11 runs in four contests in 2004. Individually, two of Shade’s recruits in freshman David Teasley and Matt McCall were rewarded for their individual accomplishments by being named to the 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team. Shade’s first season at Mercer was marked with progress both on and off the field. Under Shade’s guidance, the Mercer pitching staff finished seventh in the Atlantic Sun with a team ERA of 6.39. Shade also came through big time off the field, bringing in a stellar 2010 recruiting class that should help keep Mercer among the A-Sun’s elite for years to come. Shade also produced his first draftee at Mercer when senior starter Dan April was taken in the 39th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Before coming to Macon, Shade helped guide the Paladins to school-record 33 wins in 2008 as Furman finished third in the regular season in the competitive Southern Conference. During the Toledo, Ohio, native’s tenure in Greenville, S.C., the Paladins topped the 30-win plateau three times – which has only happened a total of five times in school history. Under Shade’s leadership in 2008, the Furman pitching staff issued the fewest number of walks in the SoCon for the fifth consecutive season. Two hurlers from that team are currently in the minor leagues as junior right-hander Jay Jackson was selected in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs while senior right-hander Mason Smith graduated and signed a free agent contract with Washington Nationals. As pitching coach, Shade played an integral part in Furman’s 2005 SoCon Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament campaign that included victories over nationally 18th-ranked College World Series participant Tennessee, and a pair of victories over South Carolina for the program’s first regular-season sweep of the Gamecocks since 1953. In 2006

Furman, recorded the SoCon’s third-best ERA (4.45), matched a then-school record with 32 wins and finished third in the regular conference standings. In 2007, another Shade student, right-hander Matt Klinker, headlined Furman’s pitching staff and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 15th round of the Major League Draft. Prior to arriving at Furman in 2005, Shade served as pitching coach at Heidelberg (Ohio) College for two seasons, helping the Student Princes to a 64-26 record, including a 2003 Ohio Athletic Conference regular- season crown and 2004 OAC Tournament title. The 2004 squad also made the school’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament. “Brent will not only add to our program on the field but he also has a firm grasp of our academic environment,” added Gibson. “He understands the academic profile of our student-athletes and the importance we place on that area. We are certainly excited about the future of our pitching staff in Brent’s hands.” Shade played at Missouri Valley College and lettered three seasons as a starting pitcher. He transferred to Defiance (Ohio) College, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management. He was awarded an MBA from Heidelberg in 2004.

-Mercer University and City of Macon Snapshots

THIS IS MERCE What distinguishes a good university from a great university extends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus.

The competence and character of an institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured. As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation. Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challenges of reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of prominent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of

ER... the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America. The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Pharmacy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins. Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

CAMPUS LIFE Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the graciousness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do. The University offers a wealth of fascinating experiences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to performing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organizations to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

RESIDENCE LIFE The benefits of campus living are numerous - the development l off life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhancing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the first time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family. All freshman and sophomores (first-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence halls, safety comes first and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identification cards to gain access into their residence hall.

MERCER UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT WILLIAM D. UNDERWOOD

President Underwood has led Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and development for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th President in 2006, enrollment has increased by approximately 15 percent to more than 8,000 students. Mercer has launched a second medical school campus (in Savannah), initiated a master’s-level physician assistant program, announced a doctorallevel program in physical therapy that will begin in 2010, and added Ph.D. programs in Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing. Reflecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer will meet the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassification as a research-doctoral university during the 2009-10 academic year. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approximately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expenditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scientists have for the first time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mercer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance. The University has intensified its longstanding commitment to service-learning and community engagement under President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to support continued revitaliza-

tion of the College Hill Corridor between campus and downtown Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mission program, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an exemplary approach to addressing a specific global challenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Georgia to receive the Carnegie Foundation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.” Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the prestigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation. President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree summa cum laude by the University of Illinois College of Law in 1985, where he graduated as class salutatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following graduation, he clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law firm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William.

Strength and Conditioning The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive exercises.

PREVIEW

Golf continued to boom in the conference as three league members on the women’s side advanced to NCAA play for the first time in conference play. Women’s golf became the first sport in the conference to produce three NCAA participants since baseball in 2003. At the NCAA Regionals, ETSU’s Nina Muehl opened with an 8-under 64, the single lowest round carded in all of Division I golf and became just the second golfer from the A-Sun to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships The Ospreys’ men’s golf team spent the year ranked among the top programs in the country alongside ETSU. Both advanced to NCAA postseason play and the Ospreys made the nationals for the first time as a conference member. Sophomore Sean Dale earned AllAmerica honors and qualified for the US Amateur, as did his teammates Kevin Alywin and Kevin Phelan. Phelan opened his summer by qualifying for the US Open at Pebble Beach. ETSU’s Rhys Enoch tied for the individual title at the NCAA East Regional and his play carried into summer as he made his second Palmer Cup team and advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the British Amateur. Individual performances stood out on the diamond as FGCU’s Chris Sale became a consensus All-America en route to becoming the conference’s fourth first-round pick in the last two years. ETSU’s Paul Hoilman contended for the national triple crown and burst onto the national scene by winning the first-ever home run derby competition - contested at historic Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. Mercer’s Jacob Tanis finished one RBI shy of the national lead in pacing the Bears back to the top of the A-Sun for the first time in more than 25 years. In softball, two hurlers established themselves among the best in the nation. Lipscomb’s Whitney Kiihnl and USC Upstate’s Morgan Childers each topped the 30-win mark - a first for the conference. The two traded the national lead in ERA throughout the season and when the year came to a close, Kiihnl finished with the best mark in the nation with Childers taking a close second. Kiihnl and Childers ranked second and third in the country in fewest hits allowed per seven innings. For the first time in league history, the conference’s last remaining charter member, Mercer, hosted the General Shale Brick Basketball Championships. The hosts advanced to the final of the men’s event setting up a standing-room-only event at the University Center against ETSU. In the end the Buccaneers won back-to-back titles. Jacksonville advanced to the NIT for the straight second year and provided the league’s first win in the event since 1996 when Ben Smith connected on a game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds to stun top-seeded Arizona State.

THIS IS THE ATLANTIC SUN

For more than 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas with a focus on the balance between the two for its studentathletes. The A-Sun boasts a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region, with all committed to the conference goal of Building Winners for Life.

On the women’s side ETSU became the third A-Sun school to win three straight titles, FGCU advanced to the WNIT for a third consecutive year and USC Upstate registered its first 20-win season as a Division I program. FOR LIFE Alums from the Atlantic Sun, both recent and historic continued to excel at the highest levels. Within the span of three days, FGCU produced its first two major league baseball players. Two pitchers of the Eagles’ 2008 A-Sun Championship squad, Casey Coleman and Sale, took their talents to Chicago as Coleman broke in with the Cubs and Sale soared through the White Sox system after spending less than two months in the minors. In late June, former Stetson All-American Chris Johnson returned to the Astros lineup and hit over .380 his first two months as a regular.
