2013-14 SEASON PREVIEW Not many people had the 2012-13 season pegged down as a breakout campaign for the Mercer women’s basketball program. Following a pair of rebuilding seasons, third-year head coach Susie Gardner also had to deal with two-time A-Sun Conference scoring champion Briana Williams being lost for the season before the team’s first game.

GUARDS They say that to be a strong college basketball team you need to have good guard play. If that’s the case then Mercer is primed for success based on the plethora of talented guards Coach Gardner has at her disposal this season.

coaches

With Williams back in the fold, along with 2012-13 starters Precious Bridges, Kendra Grant, Sharnea Boykin and Teanna Robinson, the 2013-14 season is shaping up to be one to remember for the Mercer faithful.

preview

Despite being picked to finish last in the A-Sun Conference Preseason Coaches’ poll, Mercer shocked all the experts by churning out a 20-12 season for its first 20-win campaign since 1991. The Orange and Black went 13-5 during A-Sun Conference play, setting a new program record for most league wins in a single-season, on its way to a third-place regular season finish. The Bears captivated the nation from early January to late February when they went on a 12-game winning streak, the longest for the program since the 1984-85 edition of the Bears won 14 consecutive games as a Division II member. Aided by the second-biggest turnaround in the country, based on total wins, Mercer capped off the season by earning the No. 1 seed in the 2013 Women’s Basketball Invitational for its first appearance in a nationally sponsored postseason tournament since 1985.

2012-13, including 31 starts, and ranked second on the team and seventh in the A-Sun averaging 13.0 points per game. The Macon, Ga. native was a force from beyond the arc, leading the team and ranking 13th in the A-Sun with 38 made three-pointers. The third Preseason All-Conference guard back in the fold for 2013-14 is junior Briana Williams. Williams looks to make a successful return from a knee injury of her own that robbed her of the entire 2012-13 campaign. When healthy, Williams is a dynamic offensive player who led the A-Sun Conference in scoring as both a freshman and sophomore. The McDonough, Ga. product has a career scoring average of 17.7 points per game and already has an A-Sun Conference Freshman of the Year award and a pair of A-Sun All-Conference second team honors under her belt entering her junior season. The task of quarterbacking the Mercer offense this season once again falls on the shoulders of Boykin. Using her instincts and creativity, Boykin averaged an astounding 7.4 assists per game in 2012-13, which led the A-Sun Conference and ranked fourth in nation. The Atlanta, Ga. native set up her teammates at will, but also took great care of the ball as she led the A-Sun Conference and ranked sixth in the country with a 2.57-to-1.0 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Freshman Taylor McClintock will also look to break into the guard rotation this season as the Illini Bluffs High School product comes to Macon with the reputation as a deadly long-range shooter. POSTS Rebounding and defense are two areas that Coach Gardner stresses more than anything to her team, and the Bears 2013-14 post players seemed poised to excel in those exact areas. When anyone talks about rebounding and defense in regards to the Mercer women’s basketball team, junior center Teanna Robinson is the first name that should come up. Robinson dominated the paint all season long, ranking first in the A-Sun Conference with 55 blocks and third in the league averaging 8.0 rebounds per contest. Her 55 blocks for the season was tied for the 60th most in the country and was the second-most in a single-season in Mercer program history. Junior Alicia Williams will play a more hybrid role in 2013-14, logging some minutes as a guard but also playing in the front court as well. Labeled by Coach Gardner as “A player that we must have on the floor as much as possible”, the Fort Payne, Ala. native will bring some much-needed post scoring to the Bears this season. Williams emerged as Mercer’s sixth-man in 2012-13, ranking third on the team averaging 8.9 points per game on 44 percent shooting from the field. Senior Kate Alemann figures to have a much bigger role in Coach Gardner’s post rotation this season due to the graduation of fellow forwards Shari Smith, Alex Phillips and Ry’van Buchanan. Alemann appeared in 30 games in 2012-13 and averaged 1.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game. Freshmen Ana Anderson and Amber Harris should step in and provide valuable minutes right away for Coach Gardner this season. Anderson was a four-year letterwinner at Arlington Christian School in Fairburn, Ga. while Harris hails from Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas.

FOURTH SEASON AT MERCER GEORGIA ‘86

Mercer University named veteran NCAA Division I coach Susie Gardner as the school’s 10th women’s basketball head coach on June 24, 2010. With over 200 Division I wins to her resume, Coach Gardner has transformed Mercer into one of the premier midmajor programs in the southeast.

preview

The season did produced several bright spots, as freshman Briana Williams landed Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, Second Team All-Atlantic Sun team and A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors. Freshman guard Sharnea Boykin led the conference in both minutes played and assists and sophomore Alex Phillips increased her scoring average from 1.8 to 7.5 points per game.

Mercer finished 2-27, a tally that doesn’t represent the growth the team experienced under Gardner’s direction. The 2010-11 team suffered numerous heartbreaking losses, dropping nine games by six points or less.

coaches

In her first year at Mercer, Gardner faced what she describes as her greatest challenge in 18 years of coaching at the Division I level. Her first team at Mercer was the thirdyoungest team in Division I basketball – the 12-player roster featured a combined seven years of collegiate playing experience prior to the season.

The 2011-12 season saw eight of Gardner’s recruits make their Division I collegiate debuts with Mercer. In year two under Gardner the Bears finished 6-23, but the Bears overall record was not indicative of the significant improvements they made throughout the campaign. Mercer went on the road and beat a top mid-major program at High Point on Nov. 25, 2012 and won four games at home which is the most since the Bears were victorious in seven home tilts back in 2009. The Bears placed two players on Atlantic Sun All-Conference squads, with sophomore Briana Williams landing on the second team after leading the league in scoring for the second-straight season and freshman Precious Bridges represented Mercer on the All-Freshman team. Junior forward Ry’van Buchanan showed well in her first season in Macon, finishing second on the team and tied for 15th in the A-Sun Conference averaging 10.8 points per game. Junior Alex Phillips tied for third in the A-Sun with 1.4 blocks per game and tied for ninth with 6.7 rebounds per game while Bridges paced the squad and ranked ninth in the A-Sun by averaging 31.8 minutes per game. The 2012-13 campaign represented year three for Gardner at Mercer and the results reflected all the work put in by Gardner and her staff to turn the Bears program around. Mercer posted a 20-12 overall record for the program’s first 20-win season since the 1991-92 campaign. The Orange and Black went 13-5 during A-Sun Conference play, setting a new program record for most league wins in a single-season. The Bears captivated the nation from early January to late February when they went on a 12-game winning streak, the longest for the program since the 1984-85 edition of the Bears won 14 consecutive games as a Division II member. Aided by the second-biggest turnaround in the country, based on total wins, Mercer capped off the season by earning the No. 1 seed in the 2013 Women’s Basketball Invitational for its first appearance in a nationally sponsored postseason tournament since 1985.

Several Bears also achieved significant individual achievements under Gardner’s direction during the 2012-13 season. Sophomore Precious Bridges and junior Kendra Grant were both named to the A-Sun All-Conference first team, the first time two Bears have made the first team since Andrea Congreaves and Jaana Sintonen were recognized in 1990-91. Bridges averaged 16.8 points per game to capture the A-Sun Conference scoring title, making the 2012-13 season the third-straight campaign a Mercer player has led the A-Sun in scoring. Lastly, junior point guard Sharnea Boykin led the A-Sun and ranked fourth in the nation averaging 7.4 assists per game. Before arriving at Mercer, Gardner spent the three previous campaigns (2007-10) as an assistant coach at the University of Florida. She joined the Gators after four seasons (2003-07) as the head coach at the University of Arkansas to give her the past seven seasons as a coach in the Southeastern Conference, regarded by many as the toughest college women’s basketball league in the nation. At Florida, the 2009 Gators advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament with Gardner on staff. Likewise, UF sandwiched that with WNIT appearances in 2008 and 2010 (advancing to the round of 16 during Gardner’s first year and to the second round in 2010).

Gardner was a member of the 1983 Sports Festival South Team which earned a gold medal. She was also a member of the USA’s Select Team which competed in Canada. Gardner earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia in 1986, followed by a Master of Education degree in 1988. MERCERBEARS.com

Gardner is no stranger to middle Georgia or the Southeast region, having spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at the University of Georgia (1986-88) following a highly-successful four-year career for the Bulldogs under legendary head coach Andy Landers. UGA made the NCAA Final Four her last two years as a player – including a national runner-up finish in 1985 - and reached the NCAA tournament both of her years as a graduate assistant, as well. The Bulldogs won the SEC title in 1983, 1984 and 1986 as Gardner played alongside other noteworthy Georgia players like Teresa Edwards, Janet Harris and Katrina McClain.

From 1992-95, Gardner was the assistant coach at Western Athletic Conference power San Diego State University. In her three seasons with the Aztecs, she was a part of a program that won three-consecutive WAC tournament championships and, subsequently, also made three NCAA tourney appearances.

The Lady Govs accomplishments during that period included three Ohio Valley Conference tournament championships (2001, 2002 & 2003), and OVC regular season title (2003) and three NCAA post-season berths (2001, 2002 & 2003). Gardner was tabbed as the OVC “Coach of the Year” in 2003. She also produced the OVC “Player of the Year” in both 2003 and 2004, with her players also garnering the league’s “Freshman of the Year” awards twice (2000 and 2001).

TIFFANY SWOFFARD

FOURTH SEASON AT MERCER AUSTIN PEAY ‘02

Tiffany Swoffard signed on for her first season with the Bears in the summer of 2010. Swoffard played under Gardner for four seasons at Austin Peay, including two consecutive seasons in which the Lady Governors captured Ohio Valley Conference tournament championships and represented the league in the NCAA tournament (2000-02). “Tiffany Swoffard has been instrumental in the development of every aspect of our program.” Gardner said. “She has the ability to form lasting relationships with players which makes her not only a great coach, but a great recruiter. Swoffard’s on-court role continues to expand as she coaches the posts this year.” At Mercer, Swoffard plays a big role in student-athlete recruiting and in-office administration. On the court, she works primarily with the Bears posts and has been instrumental in the continued development of junior center Teanna Robinson who led the A-Sun Conference in blocks last season. Following her time at Austin Peay, Swoffard spent three seasons at the helm of the Georgia Metros AAU basketball team before joining the staff at Rowan University (N.J.) as a graduate assistant. Most recently, Swoffard had been an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith for four seasons. In her first year with the Lady Lions, Swoffard helped guide the team to a 34-2 record and the Bi-State Conference East Division title, the NJCAA Region II tournament championship and a third-place finish at the national tournament.

At Mercer, Reitz will be responsible for year-to-year in-season scheduling off the court and working with the Bears guards on the hardwood. She will also be a contributing member to the team’s scouting and recruiting efforts. “Joanna Reitz has been added to our staff this season after previous stints at Shorter and Florida State,” Gardner said. “Joanna has extensive experience in coaching all positions and her role at Mercer will be coaching the guards. Her knowledge of the game is unmatched and she will be a great asset in scouting opponents.” Reitz comes to Macon after two seasons at Shorter University under head coach Vic Mitchell. During her time with the Hawks, she steered the program to a 28-7 record and an NAIA Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2011-12. This past season, Reitz helped Shorter put together an 18-13 overall mark and capture an NCCAA South Region Tournament Championship. Reitz’ duties at Shorter included serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator, director of scouting as well as working on the development of the squad’s guard and post players. Her work on the court was evidenced by senior Kelly Ellison being named an NAIA All-American third team selection in 2012 and junior Karisma Boykin earning a spot on the 2013 NCCAA All-American team. Prior to her time at Shorter, Reitz was a member of the Florida State University women’s basketball staff as a graduate assistant and Director of Recruiting Operations from 2007-2011. During her time at FSU, Reitz was involved with virtually every aspect of a program including recruiting, marketing, operations, compliance and oncourt strategy. While with the Seminoles, she helped guide the team to a pair of ACC regular season championships as well as an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance in 2010. Before entering the coaching ranks, Reitz had a successful collegiate playing career as a four-year starter at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga. During her time with the Scots, Reitz was a three-time team captain, earned Appalachian Athletic All-Conference first team honors and was a three-time Academic All-AAC selection. Reitz also helped Covenant earn the AAC Champions of Character award in 2003, 2004 and 2005 and was named an NAIA Scholar-Athlete in both 2005 and 2006. Reitz graduated from Covenant in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Natural Science before obtaining a pair of master’s degrees from Florida State in Physical Education and Business Administration in 2007 and 2010, respectively.

She is a phenomenal teacher of the game and has really done an outstanding job developing our guard play. Angie played professionally in the United States and Europe and I believe our players benefit greatly from her wealth of experience.” Nelp played collegiate basketball at Colorado State, racking up 1,397 points, 629 rebounds, 356 assists and 261 steals in four seasons. During her time with the Rams, she earned Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors, a first-team All-MWC selection, a Kodak All-America Honorable Mention nomination and was named an Academic All-Conference performer in all four seasons. After graduating from Colorado State in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in health and exercise science, she went on to spend two seasons with the NWBL Colorado Chill and one season with 08 Stockholm in Sweden. As a professional, she helped lead the Chill to the 2005 NWBL title and the 08 Stockholm to the 2003 Swedish national crown. After completing her professional career, Nelp returned to the United Stats and served as the head girls’ basketball coach at Yorktown High in Yorktown, Indiana.

-Coach Gardner on Alicia“Alicia is a player that we must have on the floor as much as possible. In my mind she is the perfect glue player because whenever we are discus offensive or defensive strategy, she is always involved. She is a critical factor in determining our team’s defensive success. Alicia always plays her hardest and I believe that she will have an exceptional junior season.”

BRIANA WILLIAMS

JUNIOR GUARD MCDONOUGH, Ga. HENRY COUNTY HS

-Coach Gardner on Briana“A devastating season ending injury last year helped Bri embrace a new role as one of the team’s biggest supporters on the bench. Despite not being on the floor, Briana continued to grow and mature as player while she was able to see the game from a different viewpoint. We look forward to Bri’s return as she works hard to develop both her offensive and defensive game to become the great all-around player we know she can be.”

MACON, Ga. – The Mercer women’s basketball team is 3-0 to start a season for the first time since 1999 after downing Jacksonville State 63-51 on Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Arena.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Mercer women’s basketball team dropped a 93-36 decision to No. 5 Notre Dame on Tuesday evening in front of 8,290 fans at Purcell Pavilion.

The win was Mercer’s fifth-straight dating back to last season and is now the third-longest active winning streak in the country, trailing just Oklahoma State (8) and Minnesota (7).

Notre Dame (3-0) has now won 26 out of its last 27 home games at Purcell Pavilion, while Mercer’s (3-1) five-game winning streak came to an end with the loss.

Sophomore Precious Bridges led all scorers with 18 points to go with five rebounds and three steals. Classmate Tabitha Bradshaw had her second-straight quality game offensively, finishing with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc in the win.

Notre Dame started quickly, beginning the game on a 22-2 run over the first 7:38 of the contest and never looked back.

Free throw shooting was the Bears best offensive weapon in the game, connecting on 77 percent (24-of-31) of their attempts from the charity stripe in the win.

2013-14 Mercer Women’s Basketball Media Guide

2012-13 GAME-BY-GAME GAME

MACON, Ga. – A game-high 23 points from sophomore Precious Bridges and a tenacious team defensive effort lifted the Mercer women’s basketball team to a big 46-43 win over Davidson on Wednesday evening at Hawkins Arena.

Mercer falls to 3-2 on the season with the loss, while Furman improves to 3-1 in the young 2012-13 campaign with the win.

Mercer moves its overall record to 4-2 with the win, which ties the team’s best start through the first six games of a season since the 1999-2000 campaign.

preview coaches bears

Bridges also tacked on six rebounds and two steals to go along with her 23 points, which is her second 20-plus scoring effort of the season. Bridges wasn’t alone on the offensive end, as junior Kendra Grant chipped in with 10 points and junior Sharnea Boykin dished out a season-high eight assists in the win.

Mercer used a driving lay-in by sophomore Tabitha Bradshaw to cut the Paladins lead down to as little as three points, 63-60, with 2:47 left in regulation.

The Bears clung to a one possession lead in the late stages of the game before an old-fashion three-point play by Grant made the score 43-39 Mercer with 1:49 seconds left in the game.

That would be as close as the Bears got, however, as they were forced to foul late and Furman responded by hitting 10-straight free throws to close out the game and the win.

After Davidson scored the next four points, it was forced to foul and Bridges came through hitting three-of-four clutch free throws to seal the win for the Bears.

ATHENS, Ga. – After hanging tough in the first half, the Mercer women’s basketball team couldn’t maintain its play and ended up dropping an 80-38 decision to No. 6 Georgia on Tuesday evening at Stegeman Coliseum.

STATESBORO, Ga. – Sophomore Precious Bridges poured in a career-high 29 points to propel the Mercer women’s basketball team to a 48-44 win over Georgia Southern on Friday evening at Hanner Fieldhouse.

Georgia (10-0) capitalized on its size and depth, out-scoring Mercer (4-3) 44-6 in the paint to come away with the home win.

Mercer (5-3) used a stellar team defensive effort to limit an opponent to 55 points or less for the fourth time this season. For the game, the Bears held Georgia Southern (1-5) to 32.1 percent shooting and just 25.9 percent from the field in the deciding second half.

Junior Kendra Grant had a game-high 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field for her third-straight game scoring in double-figures. The Bears continued to hang around the powerful Georgia squad, entering the locker room down 34-21 at half. Mercer’s 21 points were the third-most allowed by the Bulldogs in the first half of a game in the 2012-13 season to date.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 23 Florida State used five double-figure scorers to pull away for a 94-42 win over the Mercer women’s basketball team on Wednesday evening at the Donald L. Tucker Center.

Mercer (6-3) is now a perfect 4-0 at Hawkins Arena this season and is off to its best overall start through nine games since the 2008-09 campaign.

Junior Kendra Grant led Mercer (6-4) with 15 points while classmate Sharnea Boykin dished out eight assists, the fourth time she has tallied seven assists or more in her last five games.

Sophomore Precious Bridges led all scorers with 19 points while junior Kendra Grant was not far behind, tallying 15 points and eight rebounds in the win.

After Mercer scored the first two points of the game on a pair of free throws by Grant, Florida State ripped off an 11-0 run to counter. A fast break lay-in by senior Leonor Rodriguez ended the scoring streak and made the score 11-2 Seminoles with 15:21 to go in the first half.

Two Bears also reached some lofty personal milestones in the win. Senior Sharmesia Smith grabbed five rebounds to push her over 500 career rebounds while junior Sharnea Boykin tied her season-high with eight assists to give her exactly 250 helpers for her career.

Dec. 31, 2012 Macon, Ga. Hawkins Arena

MACON, Ga. – The Mercer women’s basketball team suffered through a tough 74-41 defeat in its Atlantic Sun Conference opener against Stetson on Monday afternoon at Hawkins Arena.

With under a minute left in the game, Mercer (6-5) cut a 10-point High Point (6-6) lead down to just three before a pair of clutch free throws by junior Taylor Tremblay sealed the win for the visiting Panthers.

Mercer (6-6, 0-1 A-Sun) was done in by a scoreless streak of more than 6:30 from the end of the first half to the beginning of the second half that afforded Stetson (8-4, 1-0 A-Sun) a chance to pull away for the win.

Sophomore Precious Bridges scored a team-high 26 points, her fourth game of the season with 20 points or more, while junior Sharnea Boykin handed out a season-high nine assists in defeat.

Junior Kendra Grant was the only Mercer player in double figures with 15 points while classmate Sharnea Boykin handed out a game-high eight assists.

As a team, the Bears recorded a season-high 15 steals, including a career-high six thefts by junior Kendra Grant, but the defensive effort wasn’t enough to prevent their first home loss of the 201213 campaign.

Stetson stayed hot after halftime and scored the first seven points of the second half to assume control, at 44-21. From there, the Hatters’ lead would balloon to as many as 36 before the final buzzer sounded.

Junior Cheyenne Parker led High Point with 31 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks in the win.

Senior Victoria McGowan and junior Sasha Sims paced Stetson with 21 points apiece in the win.

Mercer 72, Jacksonville 68

Jan. 12, 2013 Jacksonville, Fla. Veterans Memorial Arena

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Mercer women’s basketball team parlayed a career effort by senior Ry’van Buchanan into an impressive 72-68 come-from-behind win over Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Arena. Mercer (8-7, 2-2 A-Sun) was down by as many as nine points in the second half before rallying late and using a go-ahead jumper by Buchanan with just 40 seconds left in regulation to come away with the win. Buchanan netted 32 points, the most by a Bear this season, on a remarkable 13-of-15 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 showing from three-point territory. Sophomore Precious Bridges was not far behind tallying 22 points, her fifth 20-plus showing of the campaign, to go along with two assists and two steals.

Mercer 56, North Florida 43 Jan. 14, 2013 Jacksonville, Fla. UNF Arena

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Mercer women’s basketball team held North Florida to just 28 percent shooting from the field in a 5643 road win on Monday evening at UNF Arena. Mercer (9-7, 3-2 A-Sun) is now on a three-game winning streak, its second of the season, and is off to its best start in Atlantic Sun Conference play since the 2009-10 season. Sophomore Precious Bridges poured in a game-high 23 points, her second-straight 20-plus scoring effort and sixth of the season. Junior Kendra Grant joined her in double figures with 13 points, bumping the Bears record up to 6-2 when both Grant and Bridges score 10 or more points. Just when it looked like UNF was going to make a run at Mercer’s lead, Bridges once again answered the call with back-to-back mid-range jumpers to put the Bears ahead 48-36 with 5:18 left in the contest. That would provide the cushion the Orange and Black needed, as UNF got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way.

Jan. 19, 2013 Macon, Ga. Hawkins Arena

Mercer (10-7, 4-2 A-Sun) is now tied with the 2005-06 squad for the best 17-game start to a season since the Bears started 12-5 back in the 1991-92 campaign.

Mercer (11-7, 5-2 A-Sun) has now won five-straight games for the first time since the 2005-06 season and sits alone in third-place in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings as we approach the midway point of the league schedule.

preview coaches bears

Up 37-16 at half, Mercer kept things going to start the second half, using a jumper by Bridges to extend its lead to 24 points, 52-28, with 14:50 to go in the second half. The Orange and Black held steady the rest of the way, as USC Upstate never got closer than 17 points until the final buzzer sounded.

Boykin dished out a career-high 15 assists in the win, the most helpers in a single-game by anyone in the A-Sun Conference since Mercer’s Courtney Ford also had 15 assists in a win over Charleston Southern in November of 2009. Grant was on the right end of a majority of those assists, tying her career-best with 24 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field and a blistering 5-of-9 showing from three-point territory. Grant definitely had help scoring the ball, with sophomore Precious Bridges checking in right behind her with 23 points, six rebounds and three steals in the victory.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Mercer women’s basketball needed a career-high 36 points from sophomore Precious Bridges and a big second half rally to come away with a 74-70 road win over Lipscomb on Saturday evening at Allen Arena.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Mercer women’s basketball team placed three players in double figures to extend its winning streak to seven games with a 77-67 road victory over Northern Kentucky on Monday evening at The Bank of Kentucky Center.

Mercer (12-7, 6-2 A-Sun) has now won six games in a row, including four-straight on the road, which is its longest winning streak since ripping off eight in a row during the 2002-03 season.

Mercer’s (13-7, 7-2 A-Sun) seven-game winning streak is its longest since ripping off eight in a row during the 2002-03 season while its five-straight road wins are tied for the most since 1985.

Bridges 36 points are the most scored by any player in the Atlantic Sun Conference this season and the most scored by an A-Sun player in a single-game since then sophomore Briana Williams netted 39 at Kennesaw State on Feb. 12, 2012.

Sophomore Precious Bridges scored a team-high 20 points, including 16 in the second half, to extend her personal streak of 20 or more points up to six-straight contests.

MACON, Ga. – The Mercer women’s basketball team used aggressive team defensive to pull away for a 57-36 win over Kennesaw State on Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Arena.

coaches

preview

Mercer’s (14-7, 8-2 A-Sun) eight-game winning streak is now tied with the 2002-03 edition of the Bears for the longest winning streak since the program turned Division I. The eight-straight wins are the most consecutive victories for Mercer since ripping off 14 in a row as a Division II member in 1984-85.

Down one with just 21 seconds left in the game, sophomore Precious Bridges weaved her way through the North Florida defense and drilled a mid-range jumper to give Mercer the thrilling lastsecond win.

Mercer held Kennesaw State to 36 points on 30 percent shooting from the field, which is ironic because it’s the first time the Bears have held an opponent to under 40 points in a game since downing the Owls 60-38 in January of 2010.

Saturday’s win also means that the Bears will once again experience postseason basketball, as they secured a spot in the A-Sun Championship for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

Sophomore Tabitha Bradshaw scored a team-high 12 points in the win, while classmate Alicia Williams joined her in double figures with 10 points and six rebounds.

Senior Ry’van Buchanan led three Bears in double figures with 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. Junior Kendra Grant also chipped in with 15 points in the win.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Mercer women’s basketball team battled back from a nine-point second half deficit to escape with a 55-54 win over USC Upstate on Monday at the Hodge Center.

Mercer (18-8, 12-3 A-Sun) started the second half with a threepoint lead, at 28-25, but was unable to keep up with the Norse who took full advantage of a 24-for-30 effort from the free throw line in the final stanza to come away with the road win.

Sophomore Precious Bridges poured in a game-high 20 points, her 12th game of scoring 20 or more points this season, while tying a season-high with 39 minutes played.

Smith scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field and also grabbed 10 rebounds to complete her third career double-double. Sophomore Precious Bridges led the Bears with a team-high 15 points in a losing effort.

Sophomore Teanna Robinson tallied a career-high 16 rebounds in the win while junior Sharnea Boykin handed out 13 assists.

The Bears managed to grab some breathing room after Robinson snagged a missed free throw and converted a subsequent lay-in to put Mercer ahead 55-52 with 10 second left in regulation.

A 15-point effort in the second half from NKU’s Tiarra Hopper proved to be too much for the Bears to handle as they only lead for a short time in the final stanza.

Down nine midway through the second half, Mercer came all the way back thanks to a fast break lay-in by Bridges to tie the score at 50-50 with 2:47 left in the game.

MACON, Ga. – Despite a double-double by senior Sharmesia Smith, the Mercer women’s basketball team saw its 12-game winning streak come to an end after a 69-60 loss to Northern Kentucky on Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Arena.

Mercer (18-7, 12-2 A-Sun) has now run its winning streak up to 12-straight games, the program’s longest since ripping of 14 in a row as a Division II member in the 1984-85 season. The Bears 12-game winning streak is still tied for the 12th longest active winning streak in the country.

MACON, Ga. – Making its first postseason appearance in three years, the Mercer women’s basketball team made sure it was one to remember following a convincing 63-53 Atlantic Sun Championship first round win over sixth-seeded Jacksonville on Thursday afternoon at Hawkins Arena. The win moves Mercer’s overall record up to 20-10, clinching just the second 20-win season in Division I program history and the first since the 1991-92 campaign. Thursday’s win also ensures that Mercer will move onto the ASun Championship semifinals for the first time since 2009. Sophomore Precious Bridges led the way with a game-high 17 points on a season-high 11 made free throws while classmate Alicia Williams netted 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting from the field. Junior Sharnea Boykin handed out 10 assists in the win, her fifth double-digit assist performance of the season while senior Sharmesia Smith grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds to go along with two blocks.

MACON, Ga. - The Mercer women’s basketball team hung tough for the better part of Friday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun Championship semifinal, but in the end came up short in a 67-52 loss to Stetson at Hawkins Arena.

MACON, Ga. - The Mercer women’s basketball teams’ record setting 2012-13 campaign came to an end on Thursday evening after suffering an 82-70 setback to McNeese State in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational at Hawkins Arena.

Sophomore Precious Bridges led the way for Mercer (20-11) with a game-high 24 points, but the Hatters out-scored Mercer 42-31 in the second stanza to advance to the A-Sun Championship final round on Saturday evening.

Despite setting both Hawkins Arena and University Center records of 94 field goals attempted and 55 total rebounds, Mercer (20-12) was out-done by McNeese State’s (19-14) 31-for-38 performance from the free throw line.

A lay-in by senior Shanasa Sanders made the score 50-38 Stetson with just 8:17 left in the contest.

Junior Kendra Grant led the way for the Bears with a career-best 27 points on a career-high 31 field goals attempted. Sophomore Teanna Robinson chipped in offensively as well with six points, 13 rebounds and a block in the contest.

Mercer would get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way, coming up one win short of reaching the A-Sun Championship final round for the first time since 1993.

MERCER LEGENDS

preview

A list of legendary players at Mercer begins with Andrea Congreaves. Congreaves re-wrote the Mercer record book during her dazzling four-year career. She was a three-time Conference Player of the Year, and a member of the 1993 Kodak All-America team. She is the all-time leader in points, field goals and field goal percentage. She is second in free throws made, blocked shots, three-pointers made and attempted, third in rebounds and rebounding average. She led the Bears to back-to-back conference championships in 1990-1991 and 1991-1992. She led the nation in scoring in 1991-92 (33.0 ppg) and 1992-93 (31.0 ppg). Congreaves’ incredible season also included a field goal percentage of .633, 11.6 rebounds per game and 77 three-point field goals made on 185 attempts for a .416 percentage. Congreaves went on to play four seasons in the WNBA after her Mercer career, spending two seasons with the Charlotte Sting and two seasons with the Orlando Miracle. She is also one

game win streak before the loss to Texas. That season also marked the beginning of another Mercer legend, Emma Mumphrey. She finished her career as the third member of the 2,000-point club with 2,098. Mumphrey is second in field goal percentage, finishing her career with 859 made on 1,524 attempts, a .564 shooting percentage, a mark that stood until the 1992-93 season. Vivian Humphrey and Emma Mumphrey made a powerful combination, but they were not the first “Dynamic Duo” to

She also earned a spot on all-conference team each of her four years at Mercer. of only three Bears to have her jersey retired, as she was honored with a ceremony in 1993. Vivian Humphrey is Mercer’s second all-time leading scorer with 2,284 points during her career between 1977-81. She held the top spot on the scoring list until Congreaves claimed the throne. Humphrey ranks second all-time in field goals made (925), and first in field goals attempted (2,125) as well as free throws made, edging out Congreaves with a career total of 434. Humphrey led the Bears during one of the most successful periods in the program’s history. During the 1978-79 season, the Bears won 22 games with just 10 losses under coach Jane Fontaine and went on to win the GAIAW state championship. After that season, the Bears came back strong to defend their title. The team posted a program-high 29 wins during the 1979-80 campaign. The Bears rolled through the GAIAW Tournament, and into the Region III tournament. The Bears hosted Texas in the AIAW National Tournament. The 81-80 loss ended Mercer’s season, but not before adding another title, and a 12-

wear the Orange and Black. From 1971-75, Myrel Huskey and Sybil Blalock formed a scoring force that helped Mercer to the most dominant four-year run in the program’s history. Huskey (1,867) and Blalock (1,856) rank fourth and fifth respectively on the scoring list, and were the first players to record 1,000 points in their career. Under head coach Peggy Collins, the Bears went 87-13, a .870 winning percentage. Myrel Huskey held the top spot on Mercer’s all-time scoring list for less than a decade, when Vivian Humphrey surpassed her career total, but her name still remains near the top in every major offensive category. Sybil Blalock, former Mercer head coach and current SWA, has achieved many accolades that are still remembered throughout the Mercer record books. She was honored as a member of the WNIT AllAmerica Team in 1975. Cindy Brogdon played only two seasons for Mercer, but she made an impact in her time here. She averaged 30.1 points per game for each season, the third highest total in school history. Brogdon finished with 1,746 points, placing her sixth on the scoring list. But her two individual seasons of 902 points in 1975-76 and 844 points in 1976-77 stood as the best single seasons until Congreaves’ remarkable 1991-92 season. After her Mercer career she played for the 1976 U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team in Montreal. Brogdon averaged 5.8 points and 2.0 rebounds, helping the American squad bring home a silver medal.

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION Mercer opened its 1990-91 season against perennial powerhouse Old Dominion, on the road, under the guidance of first year head coach Lea Henry. The Bears went into ODU and walked out victorious and carried that momentum to a 4-0 start. After the fast start, the Bears lost two in a row for the only time during their title run. The Bears finished 1990-91 with an 18-9 overall record, and a 10-2 conference record. Congreaves led the nation in scoring average that season, with 33 points per contest. The Bears lost to Florida A&M in the conference tournament, ending their season, but not before the first New South Women’s Athletic Conference banner in program history adorned the rafters of Porter Gym.

The 1991-92 Bears started slowly by dropping the first two games to Tennessee State and South Florida. After drawing back to .500 with consecutive wins over Marist and UCF, the Bears fell to 2-4 after two straight losses to Georgia and College of Charleston. Then things started clicking. The Bears ran off nine straight victories, a loss to Southeastern Louisiana slowed the roll, but it did not stop it. Mercer reeled off eight more wins, then traded consecutive losses to Florida International and Florida Atlantic with consecutive wins over Georgia State and Florida A&M. Mercer clinched a share of the regular season title yet again, this time sharing with Florida International as both finished 10-2. The Bears finished 20-8 that season, Andrea Congreaves led the NCAA in scoring once again, averaging 31.0 points. She won her second Conference Player of the Year award, and set the stage for her selection to the Kodak All-America team in 1993. Mercer returned to prominance in 2012-13, posting a 20-12 overall record for the program’s first 20-win season since the 1991-92 campaign. The Orange and Black went 13-5 during A-Sun Conference play, setting a new program record for most league wins in a single-season. The Bears captivated the nation from early January to late February when they went on a 12-game winning streak, the longest for the program since the 1984-85 edition of the Bears won 14 consecutive games as a Division II member. Aided by the second-biggest turnaround in the country, based on total wins, Mercer capped off the season by earning the No. 1 seed in the 2013 Women’s Basketball Invitational for its first appearance in a nationally sponsored postseason tournament since 1985.

Mercer women’s basketball began play in 1970 and it didn’t take long for the program to find success. In just its second year of existence, the Bears finished with a 21-1 record in 1971-72 and claimed the regularseason and tournament titles in the Southern Women’s Athletic Conference. The Bears went on a run of six-straight winning seasons under their first head coach, Peggy Collins, who is Mercer’s all-time winningest coach with 133 wins and has an .801 winning percentage. After a one season stumble in 1977-78 under new coach Jane Fontaine, the Bears rebounded quickly winning 51 games in the next two seasons under Fontaine. In 1978-79, under the direction of Fontaine, the Bears won the GAIAW state championship. That team was led by one of the legends of Mercer women’s basketball, Vivian Humphrey. Humphrey is the second leading scorer in Mercer history, and is one of three members of the exclusive 2,000-point club. Charlotte Nicholson was finishing up her brilliant career with 1,256 points, 11th in the Mercer record books. Kathy Singletary, eighth on Mercer’s all-time scoring list, was in her first year with the Bears. Mercer went 22-10 that season, notching victories over Georgia, Georgia Southern, Florida State, Florida, Ole Miss and Auburn. The Bears defeated Valdosta State for the GAIWA state title, but would lose to them in the third round of the Region III Tournament. The Bears kept right on rolling during the 1979-80 season, setting a school record with 29 wins. Humphrey returned to lead the Bears along with Singleton. That season saw the emergence of another future legend of Mercer, Emma Mumphrey. Mumphrey would finish her career with 2,098 points, third on Mercer’s all-time list. That Mercer team came out of the blocks on fire, ripping off seven wins in a row. The Bears had a one game stumble at Mississippi College, then notched three more wins over Auburn, Stetson and Pittsburgh. The Bears suffered back-to-back losses only once the entire season, against Clemson and Ole Miss. They went on a tear to end the season and went into the GAIAW Tournament having won 12 in a row, the third-longest win streak in the program’s history. Mercer’s tournament run consisted of wins over Valdosta State and Georgia Southern to win the GAIAW State Title, before moving on to the Region III tournament in Cleveland, Miss. Mercer swept the Region III tournament with wins over South Alabama, Florida State and Georgia Southern. This put the Bears at home hosting Texas in the AIAW National Tournament, after a tight game, the Longhorns prevailed 81-80 ending Mercer’s season, but the success of the 1979-1980 season still remains. Mercer went through some rebuilding after that magical season, but the success returned to Porter Gym for the 1984-85 season. The Bears were led by the senior leadership of Anita Meadows. She finished her career with a total of 1,088 points, which is 15th all-time for the Bears. Throw on top of that the strong play of freshmen and eventual 1,000-point club member Dawn Jackson (1,120 points, 14th all-time). Their 24 wins equaled the second highest total in school history. They compiled a 14-game win streak, a mark only be topped by the remarkable 19-0 start for the 1971-72 squad. This team found national success on a level the program had never seen before, reaching the NCAA Division II Tournament and continuing their run of great play. A victory over North Alabama clinched the NCAA South Championship, followed by a victory over Quinnipiac in Hamden, Conn., in the NCAA Quarterfinals put the Bears into the Final Four in Springfield, Mass. Central Missouri squared off against the Bears and their 14-consecutive wins, but Central Missouri prevailed 82-79. Mercer’s most decorated player brought home the next two championship banners. Andrea Congreaves patrolled the hardwood of Porter Gym from 1989-1993, and filled up the stat sheets with 2,796 points, 1,107 field goals made including 153 3-pointers, 429 free throws made and 1,141 rebounds. She was supported by Stephany Raines during the two championship seasons; Raines is by no surprise, the all-time leader in assists with 851.

2013 TIP-OFF EVENT

Switching it up from a more formal speaker and banquet setting, the Mercer Athletics department went to more of a family-style atmosphere for its 2013 Tip-Off Event on Oct. 30, 2013 in Hawkins Arena. The event, which serves as the main fund raiser for both the women’s and men’s basketball programs, drew over 200 fans who showed their support for Mercer Athletics. Fans of all ages got a chance to shoot hoops with both the men’s and women’s basketball teams’, win door prizes and were addressed by head coaches Susie Gardner and Bob Hoffman, who both spoke to them about the upcoming season. This new informal event followed former speakers that graced the Tip-Off Event faithful that included George Gervin (2012), Clark Kellogg (2011), Jay Bilas (2010), and Dick Vitale (2009).

THE MErcEr EXPErIENcE... A

s one of America’s oldest and most distinctive institutions of higher learning, Mercer University’s mission is to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower and to serve. In fulfilling this mission, the University supports undergraduate, graduate and professional learning, as well as basic research and its application in service to others. Founded by Baptists in 1833, Mercer is an independent university that remains grounded in a tradition that embraces freedom of the mind and spirit, cherishes the equal worth of every individual and commits to serving the needs of humankind. With more than 8,300 students enrolled in 12 schools and colleges on campuses in Macon, Atlanta and Savannah, Mercer has a strong presence in Georgia. However, its more than 68,000 alumni are making important contributions to their professions and communities around the world. Mercer is consistently ranked among the nation’s leading institutions by such publications as U.S. News & World Report, which named the University the No. 1 value in the South in 2012 and No. 6 on its list of “up-and-coming” schools.

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 of 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

Reflecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer in 2009-10 met the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassification as a research-doctoral university. 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 long-standing commitment to service-learning and community engagement un-

der 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 revitalization 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.

The experiences I gained as a Mercer student and athlete have proven invaluable in both my personal and professional life. Mercer offers its students an education - both on and off the field - that is as functional as it is respected in today’s world. A Mercer degree tells people that you have been a part of something special.

The Mercer Athletics Foundation was created in 2007 as the fund-raising arm for Mercer University Athletics. Since its inception, members of the foundation have contributed over $1.5 million.

STRENGTH & 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. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport. Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to assist Mercer’s approximately 250 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through strength training and conditioning.
