Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright's "Child of the Sun"
The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Thad Buckner Building is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.
The Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center houses a fullsized basketball court, weight and aerobic rooms, and a student lounge and is adjacent to an NCAA regulation size swimming pool.
Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.
Frank Lloyd Wright often visited Florida Southern during his 20year relationship with the college.
Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright's designs at Florida Southern College.
Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1885. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College's heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida's citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world's largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 19251957.
In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world's leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect's drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, "...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow." 2

2010 Softball As one of the four original buildings on the FSC campus, Joseph-Reynolds Hall (“JR”) offers one of the best views on campus. It sits atop a hill overlooking Lake Hollingsworth. Community life is big here - the women of JR form groups within the building as a whole and also within the “wings” and smaller hallways. JR and its companion hall, Spivey, are located in the center of campus between Edge Hall and Ordway and serve mainly as first-year female residence halls.
Florida Southern’s recently renovated Water Dome, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, made its premiere performance on October 25, 2007. The Water Dome features 74 jets powering streams of water 45-feet into the air. It took almost 260,000 gallons of water to fill the basin of the dome and at full power 4,800 gallons are water are pumped per minute.
Wesley Hall is one of two new twin residence halls at FSC and opened in the fall of 2008. The second building, Nicholas Hall, opened in the fall of 2009. Each new residence hall includes 115 bedrooms with views of Lake Hollingsworth, meeting rooms, student lounges, kitchens, and study spaces.
All of Florida Southern College’s residence halls offer wireless access in the common lobby areas and every room offers cable TV and is wired for internet access. In addition, wireless hotspots on campus include the Roux Library, TûTû’s Cyber Cafe (which offers Starbucks products), Wynee’s Bistro (our cafeteria), and the Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center and pool area.
A grouping of three residence halls, the Publix Commons are close to just about everything on the Florida Southern campus. All three buildings offer suitestyle living in which six students each have their own rooms and share a living area and bathroom. The Publix Commons also is home to Florida Southern’s Greek organizations.

Prior to assuming the presidency at Florida Southern, Dr. Kerr was Vice President for Advancement at both Rollins College and the University of Richmond. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Mercer University and her master’s and doctoral degrees from the Florida State University. She has held a number of community volunteer leadership roles and currently serves on the boards of SunTrust Bank Central Florida and All Saints’ Academy. An avid supporter of the arts, she is the current president of the Board of Trustees of the Polk Museum of Art. She is in the first year of her term as president of the Sunshine State Conference. She and her husband, Dr. Roy Kerr, have a fifteen-year-old son Ed. Roy Kerr has authored two books about baseball entitled “The Loving of the Game” (2007), and “Sliding Billy Hamilton: The Life and Times of Baseball’s First Great Leadoff Hitter” (2009).
Anne B. Kerr, Ph.D. College President
Since her unanimous appointment as its 17th president in 2004, Dr. Kerr has provided Florida Southern College with extraordinary vision and leadership that is enhancing the student experience and increasing the College’s national prominence. Under her guidance, the institution has renewed its commitment to educating the whole person -- academically, socially, spiritually, and physically -so that students leave prepared to make a positive and consequential impact on our world. Early in her tenure, Dr. Kerr led a comprehensive Strategic Plan designed to enrich all facets of the College’s student-centered culture. She is dedicated to enhancing a student life culture that provides opportunities for active learning and leadership; promoting a scholarly environment where professors have outstanding records of achievement that support innovative, engaged, and personalized instruction; and to strengthening further the College’s outstanding scholarathlete program that models the highest standards of NCAA Division II athletics. As part of her quest for excellence, Dr. Kerr commissioned a master plan that outlines the College’s vision
events. He also served as Florida Southern’s representative on the Sunshine State Conference Marketing Committee. As baseball coach, Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, keeping the Moccasin program among the elite in NCAA Division II. In 2005, he guided the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title with a 51-11 record, and was the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach-of-the-Year. In addition to his national coaching honors from the ABCA, Meyer also was South Region, Sunshine State Conference, and Florida Diamond Club (scouting organization) Coach-of-the-Year. His head coaching record at Florida Southern was 257111-1, while his overall record as a head coach was 296-1411. Thirty-four Moccasin baseball players were drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer’s tenure at FSC. Before officially assuming the reigns of head coach, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern’s top assistant coach under Chuck Anderson. He was also the program’s recruiting coordinator. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under the legendary head coach, Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school’s Division III baseball program in 1991. He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. A four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, Meyer graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children, 21-year old Ross, 19-year old Mitchell and 18-year old Megan.
Pete Meyer Athletic Director
In 2008-09, Pete Meyer served his first year as the Director of Athletics at Florida Southern College. Moccasin teams produced three Sunshine State Conference championships (men's cross country, men's basketball, softball) and a fifth-place national finish in women's golf. Eleven FSC teams went to NCAA postseason competition. Named to the position February 21, 2008, he officially assumed his duties July 1, 2008, when Lois Webb retired. Since 1972, he is just the fourth person to occupy the position of athletics director at Florida Southern - following Hal Smeltzly (1972-2000), Mike Roberts (2000-01) and Webb (2001-08). Meyer was the Moccasins’ head baseball coach from 2002 through 2008. In the fall of 2008, Meyer was given the additional title of Dean of Wellness, as the operation of the Hollis Wellness Center, as well as the water ski program and campus intramurals, also fall under his direction. Meyer, who has been at Florida Southern since 1998, had served as assistant athletics director for Webb since February of 2006, in addition to maintaining his baseball coaching duties. In his position as assistant athletics director, he was responsible for acquiring major gifts for the athletic department that included funding and equipment for the athletics weight room, and upgrading the baseball and men's basketball locker rooms. He coordinated all of the athletic department’s fundraising efforts, coordinated athletic facilities, and served as game administrator for various home

2010 Softball
2010 Florida Southern Softball Preview Florida Southern goes into 2010 back in its familiar role as one of the favorites to win the Sunshine State Conference. The Moccasins are in that position even after graduating four all‐conference players, two all‐region selections, and one 2‐time All‐ American. They’re in that position because so often in the past, it hasn’t mattered what they’ve lost, only what they still have; and what they have is a roster with eight returning starters, three players who were All‐SSC, a couple of more who could have been, and several others who no doubt have that award in their future. What the Moccasins really want, however, is another conference title, just like the one they got last year, only better. How does it get better than that? Officially, the Mocs had to share that title with Rollins, and no matter what they teach you in kindergartern, sharing isn’t always the way to go. Ultimately, though, what the Mocs truly want is to go deep in the postseason, just as they’ve done many times before, and what head coach Chris Bellotto knows her team is capable of doing again. Bellotto also knows the Moccasins have their work cut out for them. The Sunshine State Conference has become one of the most difficult leagues in the country to win, and Florida Southern is just one of several teams that have a legitimate chance to do it. In the last two years, six different SSC teams have earned trips to the NCAA South Region Tournament, and four of them had at least one 40‐win season. Bellotto knows too that Florida Southern won the SSC in 2009 after being picked to finish fifth, the same spot Barry landed in after the Buccaneers were picked to finish first. It’s that type of role reversal the Mocs are looking to avoid as they push for a 25th conference title, while the rest of the SSC is pushing them. PITCHERS Brittany Minton, the team’s top winner each of the last two seasons, has graduated, but the Moccasins are still loaded when it comes to pitching. Florida Southern was one of only three teams in the country last year to have three pitchers with double digit wins, and two of them are back. They’ve also added a freshman who was one of the state’s top high school pitchers over the last four years, meaning the Mocs should be able to go three deep once again.
Junior Morgan Brown went 12-2 in her first year as a starter and was third in the SSC with a 1.18 ERA. The best thing about last year’s staff was how they picked each other up all season long. At different points, all three starters could have been called the Mocs’ #1 pitcher, and all three of them had some very big wins. Whether it was Minton getting the Mocs back on track in a sweep of Saint Leo and then taking down Barry in the opener of that series, Morgan Brown shutting down Rollins to give the Mocs a decisive series early in the year, or Christine Clark pitching a shutout in the title‐clinching win at Tampa, they all had a chance to shine. This year’s group will have the same opportunity. Brown followed up a strong freshman campaign as a relief pitcher by going 12‐2 with a 1.18 ERA in her first year as a starter. She ranked among the SSC leaders in several categories, and opposing batters found her difficult to hit, as evidenced by their .184 average. Brown carried Florida Southern through some tight spots in the middle of the season, and the Moccasins are now looking for her to take the next step in becoming an even bigger part of their pitching rotation as a junior. Although Clark didn’t start a game until early March, she ended up as a second team all‐conference selection as a freshman after going 14‐4 with three saves. Only the second lefthander to ever pitch for Florida Southern, the coaching staff was able to get her a lot of innings early in the year, and it paid off. By the time she made her first start, Clark had
6
already won three games. Her most impressive statistic had to be her 9‐0 SSC record, which included shutouts on the road against Barry and Tampa. Joining Brown and Clark this year is freshman Brittaney Alderman, a 2‐time All‐ State selection from Lakeland’s George Jenkins High School. With 33 wins and nearly 500 strikeouts over the last two seasons, Alderman will be given the chance to become a regular starter for the Moccasins right away, but even if she’s not pitching, she might be in the lineup somewhere with her bat. She hit .419 with two homers and 22 RBI as a high school senior, making her a candidate for the designated player position as well. Bellotto would prefer Alderman to concentrate on her pitching first. If that goes well, an expanded role on offense could follow. CATCHERS Junior Heather Raulerson is back behind the plate after starting 53 games in 2009. Her glove and her arm are two reasons the Mocs love having her in the lineup, as she led the SSC in percentage of runners caught stealing and handled the pitching staff like a seasoned veteran. Though her .198 batting average may not have showed it from a pure numbers perspective, Raulerson also made big strides as a hitter, and for the second year in a row, turned it up a notch late in the season. Last year she hit .273 over the final month and was named to the NCAA South Region All‐Tournament Team after leading the Mocs in batting average during the postseason. More than likely, Florida Southern’s backup catchers will already be on the field somewhere else, but if Raulerson is out of the lineup, the Mocs can make the shift without too much difficulty. Freshman Erin Foley can play a number of positions, including catcher, where she was Second Team All‐State as a senior at Bartow High School. All‐SSC first baseman Elli Howell can also play there, and started five games behind the plate last year. INFIELDERS Three starting infielders return, but 2‐ time All‐American Sara Lovestrand has graduated, leaving a huge hole at shortstop and in the leadoff spot. The numbers she put up over the last two years probably won’t be duplicated, but the Mocs have had to deal
FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE with this type of thing plenty of times before, and the lineup still has its share of firepower. Much of that will come from senior first baseman Elli Howell, who’s back to anchor the middle of the lineup. A First Team All‐SSC selection, Howell tied for the team lead with 44 RBI last year, and her league‐high 25 RBI in conference play were the most for any Moccasin in 12 years. Her grand slam against Nova Southeastern early in the season was one of the year’s defining moments. Overall, she hit .341 with 14 doubles, three triples and five home runs, and she goes into 2010 as one of the league’s most dangerous hitters. Junior Peggy Alex won a three‐way battle for the second base job last year and proved to be a reliable #2 hitter as well. With basically the same players in the lineup, Florida Southern’s run production jumped more than 20 percent from 2008 to 2009, and the improvement Alex made was a big reason why. At the very least, her .436 on‐ base percentage and 16 sacrifice bunts moved Lovestrand one step closer to home; but her .325 batting average and 21 RBI showed that Alex could also drive in the run herself. Defensively, Ashley Hunt ranked second in the SSC in fielding percentage at third base. At the plate, she was batting .286 at the end of March before a late‐season slump saw her average fall to .229. Now, the
Junior Peggy Alex hit .325 last year as the #2 hitter in the lineup, and was among the SSC leaders with a .436 on-base percentage.
2010 Softball Lindsey Powell was voted an All-South Region outfielder in 2009, and is already a two-time member of the all-conference team. The junior hit .349 last year with six doubles, four triples, two home runs and 37 RBI out of her customary #3 slot in the batting order. coaching staff is trying to bring all of it back together again in the type of package that made her one of top junior college third basemen in Florida from 2007‐08. Alex had the same type of turn‐around last year, and Bellotto believes Hunt is on the same path. At shortstop, freshman Dezirae Parsons is expected to take over for Lovestrand after a record‐setting senior year at Forest High School in Ocala. Her .414 batting average included 18 extra‐base hits, seven home runs and 48 RBI. Bellotto feels she has the ability to make an impact both at the plate and in the field. Should the situation dictate, the Mocs have several other infielders who are also looking to make an impact, and some of them already have. One of those is Christine Clark, who was more valuable as a pitcher last year, but she also started a handful of games at first base when Howell was catching. Clark had limited at‐bats, but she did hit two home runs with six RBI. Sophomore Karlyn Scott got into 32 games last year, many of them at second base where she was a solid back‐up to Alex. She has a chance to play as an outfielder too. Senior Bethany Boomer is another second baseman, but may not play there if she’s in the lineup as the DP, or in the outfield where she’s spent a great deal of time in the preseason. Boomer gave the Mocs a strong bat off the bench last year, and her .281 average is one of the reasons she could be a starter in 2010. OUTFIELDERS The season will begin with question marks in the outfield following the graduation of 4‐year starter Natalie Lang, a 3‐time All‐SSC selection and one of the best defensive players to ever play for the Mocs, and the loss of junior centerfielder Dani Blake to injury for at least a portion of 2010.
7
The only certainty is junior Lindsey Powell, an all‐conference right fielder each of the last two seasons, and a Second Team All‐ South Region pick last year. Powell exploded the second half of her freshman season and kept it going last year with a .349 batting average, two home runs and 37 RBI. She’s putting together a pretty good list of late‐inning clutch hits too, and while there might be some other players in the SSC who are just as good, there can’t be anyone better when the game is on the line. Powell has also started games at all three outfield positions and played some first base too, but the Mocs like her right where she is, both in right field and in the #3 spot in the batting order. The overall numbers don’t even begin to describe what Blake brings to the table, but consider that leadoff hitter Sara Lovestrand tied for the team lead in RBI last year, and that doesn’t happen without Blake getting on base from the #9 position – a lot. She literally turned her season around in mid‐March when she moved from the right side of the plate to the left, hit 200 points higher the rest of the way, and .340 over the final month. That’s what makes her overall batting average of .252 so deceiving. The loss of Blake hurts, but it also creates an opportunity for others, and the Mocs hope to have her back before the end of the season. In the meantime, the battle for the two open outfield positions is basically a free‐for‐all. As many as half a dozen players are in the running, and in the end, whoever is swinging the hottest bat at the time will probably be in the lineup. That group of players includes sophomore Brandy Pikus, along with Boomer and Scott, and three newcomers. Pikus was Florida Southern’s most often used pinch‐runner last year, but had only two at‐bats in her rookie season.
FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE Freshman Erin Foley played mostly third base and catcher in high school, but her performance during the fall has the coaches now looking at her as a possible starting outfielder. A 3‐time All‐State selection for Bartow High School, Foley hit .384 as a junior and .357 as a senior with a total of 47 RBI. With the type of competition Bartow plays, Foley comes to Florida Southern as prepared to play as any freshman could be. Mallory Butler is in the mix too, even though she didn’t join the team until January. A senior academically, Butler is returning to the field this spring after more than two years away from the game, but she started as a freshman for the University of North Florida in 2007. Another product of the powerful Bartow High program, she’ll give Florida Southern some badly needed experience in the outfield once she re‐ adjusts to the college game. Freshman Jessica Echols also got a late start with the Mocs after competing with the Florida Southern cross‐country team in the fall. She’ll get a chance to run for the Moccasin softball team now, and hit .338 with 51 RBI and 65 runs her final three seasons at Moore Haven High School in south Florida. DESIGNATED PLAYER The Moccasins haven’t had to worry about the DP position since the day Angela Williams arrived on campus in the fall of 2005. The problem, of course, is that Williams has graduated, and the Mocs now have to replace a 4‐time First Team All‐SSC selection who was also the school’s career home run leader. Senior Ashlinn Rodgers is one of the candidates to replace Williams, has the edge in experience, and is a proven hitter off the bench. She’s played in 56 games with a .292 batting average over the last three years. The aforementioned Boomer is another senior whose outstanding performance as a backup has led to a potential job as a starter, and Clark could even be used as a DP when she’s not pitching. The Mocs are also looking for a way to get freshman utility player Lindsey McClellan on the field. She put up some big numbers at nearby All Saints Academy before spending a year‐and‐a‐half at Auburn. An All‐State selection in both softball and basketball, McClellan showed what she’s capable of in 2007, when she hit .434 and had a 0.86 ERA as a pitcher.
2010 Softball
2010 SSC Preseason Poll Coming off its best season since becoming a Division II program in 2002‐03, Nova Southeastern edged out Florida Southern as the preseason favorite to win this year’s SSC title. The Sharks, who picked up seven 1st‐place votes, return seven starters from a team that went 49‐15 and earned its first trip to the NCAA playoffs. The Moccasins were picked right behind them after sharing the 2009 SSC title with Rollins.
Senior third baseman Ashley Hunt was second in the SSC last year in fielding percentage at that position. She was flawless at Barnett Field where the Moccasins went 21-1, the best record in the country for any team with at least 20 home games.

FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE
2010 Softball
Head Coach Chris Bellotto
The 2010 season marks the 29th for Chris Bellotto as head coach of the Florida Southern softball team, and her 32nd at the college. A Lakeland native and graduate of Florida Southern, Bellotto is the only coach the program has ever had. She’s established the Moccasins as one of the top college softball programs in the country, and in recognition of her accomplishments, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association has selected her for induction into its hall of fame in December of 2010. She’ll be inducted along with Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle and Illinois State head coach Melinda Fischer. Their election will give the NFCA Hall of Fame a total of 53 members in the 20 years since it was established. With Bellotto guiding the Moccasins since their inception, Florida Southern has won more conference titles than any other Division II program, and made 19 trips to the NCAA Tournament. All of those potstseason bids have come since 1987, and the Mocs have won more postseason games and NCAA regional titles than all but one other current Division II school. During her time at Florida Southern, the Moccasins have made three appearances in the national championship game (most recently in 2004) and are one of only two schools at any NCAA level to play in a national title game in every decade since the sport was adopted. With a career record of 1,100-335, and a winning percentage of .767, Bellotto ranks among the top college softball coaches of all time, at any NCAA school regardless of division. When the Moccasins defeated Eckerd College on March 27, 2009, Bellotto became just the fifth coach in Division II history, and the 14th in NCAA history with 1,000 fast-pitch wins. Now with a career fast-pitch record of 1,020-301, covering 25 seasons, she ranks fourth in the D-II record book for wins, and fifth in winning percentage (.773). On the active list, she enters 2010 ranked third and fourth respectively. Since her career record also includes an 80-34 mark in three slow-pitch seasons (1982-84), Bellotto actually reached the 1,000-win milestone twice. The first was on March 16, 2007, when the Mocs defeated Bryant University, 2-0. That gave her 1,000 total victories before she achieved her 1,000th fast-pitch victory two years later. Last year was the 19th time Bellotto guided Florida Southern to NCAA postseason play, a figure topped by only two other Division II programs (Bloomsburg with 27, and NebraskaOmaha with 22). With over 100 NCAA postseason games to her credit, Bellotto has also led the Mocs to 61 playoff wins, with only Bloomsburg and coach Jan Hutchinson winning more (78). Overall, Bellotto has won 24 conference titles (combining slow-pitch and fast-pitch), eight regional titles and one National Championship. That national title came in 1993 when Florida Southern went 45-11, with a .371 team batting average. The Moccasins came out of the loser’s bracket with back-to-back shutouts after dropping their first game at the National Tournament, and closed things out with an 11-5 victory over Augustana (SD) that gave the school its first national championship in women’s athletics. Those 11 runs are still a DII championship game record.
Over the last 23 years, the Moccasins have averaged 42 wins a year, and have won 30 or more games all but twice during that span; 17 times they’ve won at least 40. Three times since 2000, the Mocs have even gone over the 50-win plateau, winning a school-record 55 games in both 2004 and 2006. Last year, Florida Southern went 43-15, and won the Sunshine State Conference with a mark of 18-6. That gave Bellotto and the Moccasins 24 SSC titles in her 28 years as head coach. No other Division II program or coach has won more league championships, whether based on regular season standings or a conference tournament. Bellotto’s coaching career began in 1979, when Florida Southern began softball as a club sport. That year, while still a student at the college, she led the Mocs to fifth place in the state tournament. In 1980, as a college senior, Bellotto’s team went 15-10, and her 1981 squad was 22-9 while competing with no scholarships against schools that offered as many as 15. One year later, Florida Southern became a full-fledged intercollegiate program and Bellotto guided them to a 22-12 record overall and a perfect 16-0 mark in the Sunshine State Conference, which was sponsoring slow-pitch softball for the first time. Bellotto’s first win came on March 17, 1982 when the Mocs defeated Saint Leo, 11-4. Florida Southern won the SSC title in 1983 and ‘84 as well (going 32-0 in conference play) before the league moved to fast-pitch competition in 1985. After two more SSC titles in 1985 and ‘86, Bellotto took the Moccasins to the next level in 1987, as Florida Southern earned its first NCAA Tournament bid in softball. The Mocs won a then school-record 49 games that year and led the nation in scoring, fielding and winning percentage. They went 24-0 in conference play, and swept through the regional tournament without allowing a run, before eventually losing in the National Championship Game to Cal State-Northridge. Bellotto’s success continued throughout the remainder of the ‘80’s and into the ‘90’s as Florida Southern would go on to win 16 straight Sunshine State Conference fast-pitch titles from 1985-2000, and earn 14 consecutive NCAA bids from 19872000. At one point, from the middle of the 1985 season through the end of 1989, Florida Southern won 95 consecutive conference games, including 62 in shutout fashion. That 95game winning streak is the longest for any team in any conference sport since the SSC was founded in 1975. When the new millineum began in 2000, the Moccasins kept doing the same old things, winning six more conference championships in the decade that was just completed. That included four in a row from 2004-07, a 4-year stretch that saw Florida Southern go 200-42. During that time, the Moccasins won three South Region titles and went 22-10 during NCAA postseason play. The Mocs finished fourth in the national tournament in 2007, third in 2006, and were national runners-up in 2004, a team that had six freshmen in the starting lineup and only two seniors on the roster, but went 55-8. The 2006 team was also among the best ever coached by Bellotto, as the Moccasins tied their 2-year old school record by again going 55-8, set a new school record with 49 regular season wins, captured their 22nd conference title, and won the South Region title en route to their third-place finish at the national tournament. The Mocs spent most of the season ranked in the top five, opened the year with 18 straight wins, and set school records for home runs and shutouts.

The ’06 season culminated with a record-setting 13-2 win over Alabama-Huntsville in the South Region Championship Game, earning the Moccasins their seventh regional title and a seventh trip to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. The Mocs went 2-2 in Salem, Virginia that year to finish third overall, giving them two third-place finishes, two runner-up finishes and one national championship under Bellotto. Following their fourth straight SSC title in 2007, and a fourth-place finish at the national tournament, Bellotto had to replace seven senior starters, three of them All-Americans, and all seven career record holders of one type or another. Even with that daunting task, Bellotto still had the Mocs in contention in 2008, as Florida Southern was among the top teams in the South Region all year with a 29-14 record. Along the way, they earned victories over seven different teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, including two regional champions (Barry and LIUC.W. Post) and two regional runners-up (Tampa and Wayne State of Michigan). Individually, 26 different All-Americans have played for Bellotto, combining to win a total of 45 All-American awards, including 21 first-team selections. Among them are four-time All-Americans Kellie Robinson and Shelly Davis, and threetime winner Megan Brown. Both Robinson and Davis are members of the SSC Hall of Fame, as are Dori Stankewitz, Traci Wood and Julianne Coleman. In addition, Bellotto has had 19 Academic All-Americans, 89 All-South Region selections, and six players named the SSC Female Athlete-of-the-Year for all sports. Bellotto is a two-time Division II Coach-of-the-Year as selected by the National Association of Softball Coaches. She first won that award in 1989 when the Moccasins went 46-8 and finished third in the nation. The second time came following Florida Southern’s national championship in 1993. Bellotto (or her staff) has also been named the South Region Coach-of-the-Year 10 times in her career, and the Sunshine State Conference Coach-of-the-Year 15 times. Her 15th SSC award came last year in 2009, when the Mocs won the conference title after they were picked to finish fifth, and one year after they’d finished in sixth place. The one-year turnaround was the greatest in SSC history. Bellotto’s individual SSC coaching awards are the most for any coach, in any sport, in the history of the conference, tying her with current Tampa volleyball coach Chris Catanach. Selected as the head coach on the SSC Silver Anniversary Team in 2007 (along with 14 of her players), Bellotto has compiled an incredible 548-110 record in conference play for an .833 winning percentage. In June of 2005, Bellotto was inducted into her third hall of fame, the Polk County Sports Hall of Fame. She was previously enshrined in the Sunshine State Conference Hall of Fame (February of 2000), and the Florida Southern College Athletic Hall of Fame (March of 2002) as a charter member. She was also honored with the “Women in Sports” Achievement Award presented by Saint Leo University in February of 2001. Bellotto graduated from Lakeland High School in 1974. She earned her A.A. degree from Polk Community College in 1977 and her bachelor’s degree from Florida Southern College in 1980. In 1984, she received her master’s degree from the University of South Florida. She is also a faculty member at Florida Southern College in the school’s Physical Education Department, and currently serves on the NCAA Division II South Region selection committee.

1,100 Wins and Counting
On March 16, 2007, Chris Bellotto became just the tenth coach in NCAA history at any level to win 1,000 games in her career. That win total covers both slow‐pitch and fast‐pitch competition. With the NCAA recognizing only fast‐pitch competition, Bellotto officially joined the 1,000‐win list last March 27, when the Moccasins defeated Eckerd College 9‐1 in St. Petersburg. #1 #100 #200

Assistant Coach Jeff Lang Jeff Lang joined the Florida Southern coaching staff in January of 2006 after seven years (1999-2005) as the head softball coach at George Jenkins High School in Lakeland. While there he compiled a career record of 148-52-1, and led the Eagles to four district championships and the state playoffs six times. In his four seasons at Florida Southern, Lang has helped the Moccasins win three conference titles and advance to the Division II National Tournament in 2006 and ’07 with both his on-field coaching and recruiting. He was part of the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff-of-the-Year in 2006 and 2007, and works primarily with the Moccasin infielders. Among his recent recruits were 2-time All-American shortstop Sara Lovestrand, and current outfielder Lindsey Powell, a junior who has already made the allconference team twice in her career. In his final season at George Jenkins, the Eagles were 24-5 and won the Class 5A District 6 title. In the state playoffs, the Eagles won two extra-inning games before falling to Tampa-Chamberlain in the regional championship game. All five of Lang’s seniors were named to the All-State team, including Angela Williams, and his daughter Natalie, who both went on to play at Florida Southern. Williams was a 4-time All-SSC designated player and the school’s career home run leader, and Lang was a 3-time all-conference outfielder with over 200 career hits. Another of his 2005 senior class, Brooke Johnson, went on to start at the University of Florida. In 2004, Lang also led George Jenkins to a district title after the Eagles went 24-4. That team advanced to the regional championship game as well, where they fell to River Ridge High School in extra innings. His teams also won district championships in 2000 and 2002, with the 2000 title earning him the Lakeland Ledger’s Polk County Coach-of-the-Year award. In addition to coaching at George Jenkins High School, Lang is also the president of Florida Construction Group. A Lakeland native and a 1980 graduate of Lakeland High School, Lang and his wife Darla have been married for 27 years and have two children: son Brant and daughter Natalie.
Assistant Coach Al Bellotto Al Bellotto is in his 19th season as a Moccasin assistant coach, and during that time he's been a part of 15 Sunshine State Conference championship teams, as well as five that went on to win the South Region title. In 2007, he was part of the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff-of-the-Year when Florida Southern went 51-15 for a fourth-place finish at the national tournament. In addition to his work with the hitters, Bellotto also coaches the Moccasin outfielders. Among the highlights of his Moccasin career was the 1993 national championship season, and much of the Mocs’ success at the plate that year was attributed to his work with the hitters. Florida Southern hit .371 that year, a school record at the time, but one which the Mocs broke just two years later with a .376 average. That mark still stands in the Florida Southern record book. Last year’s team set a school record for home runs, and finished among the top teams in the country in batting average. Bellotto was also credited with the mid-season turn-around of centerfielder Dani Blake, who the Mocs switched from a right-handed hitter to a left-handed slapper in March. Hitting just .122 at the time of the switch, Blake hit .319 afterwards, and .340 over the final 20 games. A former member of the Florida Southern baseball team, Bellotto was an outfielder and catcher for the Moccasins, and before that an All-State selection in both baseball and football at Lakeland High School, one of the top football programs in the country. He's the brother of Moccasin head coach Chris Bellotto.
Did You Know? Florida Southern’s eight regional championships are tied for third on the all-time Division II list. Bloomsburg (PA) is the leader with 10, followed by Kennesaw State (GA) with nine. Cal State-Northridge is tied with Florida Southern with eight. Both Kennesaw State and Cal State-Northridge are now Division I programs.

Assistant Coach Melannie Grimes Melannie Grimes returned to Florida Southern in 2009 for her second stint as the Moccasins’ pitching coach, after previously holding that title from 1986-90. She’s a former All-American pitcher at Arizona State University and member of the United States National Team. During her first tour of duty at Florida Southern, Grime helped the Moccasins win five Sunshine State Conference titles in five years, two regional titles, and earn a second place finish at the NCAA Division II national finals in 1987. During those five years, Grimes oversaw a Florida Southern pitching staff which included two-time All-Americans Dori Stankewitz and Nycki Sandstede. In addition to those honors, a Moccasin pitcher was named All-South Region nine times during that span. In her return to Florida Southern last year, Grimes had three different pitchers win 12 or more games, one of only three teams in the country to accomplish that feat. Grimes’ collegiate career began at Golden West College in California where she was a member of two national championship teams. She transferred to Arizona State University and while playing for the Sun Devils, won 43 games from 1977-78. Grimes still holds ASU records for season earned run average (0.23 in 1978) and career ERA (0.52). She also set a school record with 246 strikeouts as a senior, a record that stood for 21 years and still ranks among the top five in team history. The highlight of her career, however, came in 1979 when she posted a 4-0 record in the PanAm Games in Puerto Rico, helping the United States win the gold medal. In addition to her previous coaching experience at Florida Southern, Grimes has spent several years coaching softball, volleyball, basketball and cross-country at local high schools in Polk County. She has spent the past five years as assistant volleyball and assistant softball coach at Auburndale High School, where she helped the Bloodhounds go 26-5 in 2006 en route to their Class 5A State Championship.

Junior Dani Blake first changed positions, then changed the way she batted, and in the process became one of Florida Southern’s top hitters during the stretch run to the NCAA playoffs in 2009. She hit .319 after moving to the left side of the plate, and .340 over the final 20 games. In the field, Blake made just one error, and her .985 fielding percentage was second in the SSC among all regular starting centerfielders.
Did You Know? The triple play at Eckerd last year, started by centerfielder Dani Blake, was only the second in team history. Blake made a running catch in deep left center and got the ball to shortstop Sara Lovestrand, whose relay throw to first baseman Elli Howell doubled off a runner for out #2. Another base runner was called out for failing to return to second, giving second baseman Peggy Alex credit for the final out. The only other triple play turned by the Moccasins was on February 22, 1998, in a game at North Florida. That one was also started by a centerfielder, Nikki George, who helped get the Mocs out of a bases loaded jam in the 10th inning by starting an 8-2-5 triple play.

Did You Know? Bethany Boomer’s seven pinch-hits last year broke the previous school record of six, set by current teammate Ashlinn Rodgers in 2007. Rodgers, however, holds the career record of nine, and could still add to that total this year. The season record for pinch-hit RBI belongs to Bobbie Brandon, who drove in five runs in that role while going four-for-nine as a pinch-hitter in 2002. Florida Southern’s only pinch-hit home runs were both hit in 2006, when Sharon Elliott did it against Palm Beach on February 11, and Marisa Chase followed suit on April 7 against Claflin.

Did You Know? There have been a total of 14 grand slams hit by a Moccasin in team history, but Angela Williams is the only player to hit two of them, and both came her freshman year in 2006. Of those 14 grand slams, only four have been hit at Barnett Field, including their most recent, hit by Elli Howell against Nova Southeastern last year (pictured at right). It’s the only slam that either tied the game or put Florida Southern ahead. The other FSC grand slams hit at Barnett Field were by Laura Soule’ vs. Saint Leo in 1985, Amy Jackson vs. Eckerd in 1999, and Ashley Alpizar vs. Saint Leo in 2007. The Mocs have never lost a game in which they’ve hit a grand slam (14-0), and last year’s 6-5 win vs. Nova SE was the first time they hit one in a game decided by less than five runs. Katie Brandon is the only Moccasin to hit a grand slam in the first inning, doing so in a 9-1 win at Florida Tech in 2003. Howell’s blast in 2009 was the latest in a game any Moccasin has done it, with that one coming in the bottom of the fifth. Only four grand slams have ever been hit against Florida Southern, and Barry’s Tanaye Goehring hit two of them in one doubleheader on April 8, 2000. The Moccasins actually won one of those games, 6-4, and have split the four games in which they’ve allowed one. Tina Savage of Rollins was the last opponent to hit one, clearing the bases on April 8, 2001, in Winter Park.

WHY MOCCASINS? Florida Southern first used the nickname Moccasins in 1926, shortly after the college’s move to Lakeland in 1922. The water moccasin, or cottonmouth snake, was abundant in the nearby lakes and since the moccasin is one of the fiercest of all snakes, the college adopted the name for its athletic teams. A male water moccasin can grow up to 1.8 meters (over six feet long), and though its venom is considered relatively mild compared to other poisonous snakes, its bite is still extremely painful.

BARNETT FIELD, HOME OF THE MOCCASINS The Moccasins play their home games at Barnett Field, on the campus of Florida Southern College. The field is located behind Jenkins Field House, home of the Moccasin volleyball and basketball teams, on the corner of Ingraham Avenue and McDonald Street. Originally known as Pipkin Field, it was re‐christened Barnett Field in 1990 in honor of longtime Florida Southern booster Hoyt Barnett. It also serves as the home for the Moccasin soccer teams in the fall. The Moccasins actually lost their first fast‐pitch game at their on‐campus field by a score of 7‐1 in the first game of a doubleheader with Lewis (IL) on March 14, 1985. The Mocs did win the second game, 4‐1, and have been doing that ever since. Over the last 25 years, they’ve won over 80% of their games at Barnett Field. Last year’s team had the best record in school history at Barnett Field, going 21‐1 for a .955 winning percentage. Some of their other stand‐out records at home have come in 1987 (30‐4); 1989 (30‐3); 1995 (21‐2), 2004 (32‐4); and 2006 (24‐3). Barnett Field has also been the site for nine NCAA Division II South Region Softball Tournaments, most recently in 2006. No other school in the region has served as the host site more than Florida Southern.

The large birds of prey living in one of the light towers down the left field line are ospreys, otherwise known as seahawks. They eat mostly fish and can dive up to three feet deep in water to grab their prey. They thrive on every continent in the world except for Antarctica, normally live between 20 and 25 years, and mate for life. The photo at left is of the actual pair that lives at Barnett Field, taken by Florida Southern photographer Wayne Koehler during a game. They were given the names Alan and Anita by former Moccasin outfielder Natalie Lang.

FLORIDA SOUTHERN MOCCASINS IN THE PROFESSIONAL RANKS In 2008, three former Moccasins played in National Pro Fastpitch at the highest level of softball in the United States. The league features six teams, with the season running from early June through late August. Last year’s NPF title was won by the Rockford Thunder, a team that includes former Moccasin pitcher Megan Brown.
Recent graduates Michelle Tatlock (left), Megan Brown (center) and Leah English (right) all went on to play professional softball. Brown and English were 2007 Florida Southern grads, with Brown playing the last two years for the Rockford Thunder, and English playing for the Washington Glory. Tatlock graduated in 2008, and played for the Philadelphia Force. Tatlock is now an assistant coach at Hillsdale College, a team the Mocs will play again this year at Barnett Field.

THE SUNSHINE STATE CONFERENCE Founded in 1975, the Sunshine State Conference has risen from a single sport organization to the Division II “Conference of Champions”. Since its inception, the conference has grown steadily in sports played, membership and national prominence. Sunshine State Conference member schools have won recent NCAA national titles (69 total) in baseball, men’s basketball, men’s and Commissioner women’s golf, softball, men’s and Jay Jones women’s tennis, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. The SSC is also nationally recognized in men’s and women’s cross country, women’s rowing and women’s basketball. The SSC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s volleyball, softball and women’s rowing. The first national title won by an SSC member school was in 1978, by the Florida Southern baseball team. Most recently, the Lynn baseball and Nova Southeastern women’s golf teams won national championships in 2009. For more information, please contact:

Did You Know? The Florida Southern softball team set a league record for any sport by winning 95 consecutive conference games from 1985‐89. That streak started with the final seven games of 1985, continued through four undefeated conference seasons, and finally ended with a 1‐0, eight‐ inning loss to Barry in the first SSC game of 1990. The longest overall winning streak in SSC history belongs to Barry, which won 35 in a row in 2008. That streak was ended by Florida Southern with a 3‐1 victory on April 13.
Jay Jones, Commissioner Kelly Harrison, Asst. Commissioner for Internal Relations 7061 Grand National Drive, Suite 140 Orlando, FL 32819 (407) 248-8460
Ironically, the second longest conference winning streak for any SSC sport is held by the Barry women’s soccer team, which won 44 straight SSC matches from 1998‐ 2004. That streak was also snapped by Florida Southern.
