2010 Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia softball program enters its 14th season in 2010 having made eight-consecutive NCAA postseason appearances. The Bulldogs enter this season with excitement aplenty following the program’s first Women’s College World Series appearance last year. Nevertheless, the Dogs will need to focus the heightened enthusiasm towards this year as they face a challenging schedule once again. Youth will remain a theme for Georgia in 2010 as well. The 2009 squad was the youngest in the nation with 90-percent underclassmen, and this year’s team does not feature any seniors. Experience and leadership, however, will not be lacking as the Dogs return 12 players including seven starters highlighted by 2009 First-Team All-Americans Alisa Goler and Taylor Schlopy.

Q&A With Coach Lu Harris-Champer Coach Lu Harris-Champer is entering her 10th season at the helm of the Georgia program, having compiled an incredible 452-168 record. Question: Georgia is coming off of its first-ever Women’s College World Series appearance in 2009, what were the keys to last year’s success? Answer: I think it was team unity and chemistry. As their bracelets say “Band Together and Fight.” It was seeing the good in things, seeing positive in what you want. Q: How does this year’s squad build upon those keys to continue the success? A: I think we definitely want to continue to build in our strengths and our determination to be strong in our will.
A: I don’t think it matters. I think every year we put the best team out there that we can. I think when you start worrying about last year, you put pressure on yourself. Last year has absolutely nothing to do with today. Today is about today and the work you’ve put in to be successful today.
A: Everyday we strive to get one percent better in what we do, and that’s because we are just focusing on that one thing at that one time. It’s a quote that has been passed on through the years. It’s not a team slogan, it’s just something we believe. Q: This year’s coaching staff features Gerry Glasco in his second season, former player Megan McAllister returning in an assistant coaching position and Kristin Schnake as a student assistant coach. What does this year’s staff bring to the Bulldogs? A: I’m thrilled to get to work all three of them. Gerry has so much energy. He’s fun to be around and he’s very competitive and inspiring. He just loves the game and players, and it’s fun to work with someone who is that into it. He’s a people person. Megan is the very same way. She’s stepped in and just rolled with it. She knows what we do because she played in the system. She understands why we are doing things the way we do, and with her experience on the field that’s tremendous. We are thrilled to have Kristin back with us too. She’s phenomenal and will help us in several aspects. Q: The Southeastern Conference qualified a record nine teams for the 2009 NCAA Tournament including four national seeds and three teams that advanced to the Women’s College World Series. What are the advantages and challenges of competing in such a strong conference.
A: It’s great to compete in the SEC. It’s one of the premier conferences in the country. It’s a fantastic conference top to bottom. The commitment that the SEC makes to its teams is outstanding. The teams in the league are strong and that’s the best part about it. You want to play strong competition every weekend so that you are prepared when it comes to the postseason.
Georgia’s Coaches Pledge
These student-athletes are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, highly-trained athletes thoroughly indoctrinated in love for the University of Georgia Bulldogs who represent the University of Georgia and the athletic program in the highest possible manner. I will encourage our athletes and insist that they perform to the best of their ability in the classroom as well as in the arena of competitive athletics. I will require of them, and demonstrate by my own example, the highest standards of integrity, personal conduct, morality, sportsmanship and professional skill.

Q: Last year’s team was the youngest in the nation with 90-percent underclassmen. This year’s team doesn’t include any seniors but does return several experienced players with eight returning starters. Does having a young team or not having any seniors factor into how well a team does?
Q: The Bulldogs have taken to the often heard phrase of “improve one percent everyday,” can you talk about the meaning of that within the Georgia program?

Under the direction of Harris& = Co-head coaches 2003-Pres.; @ = Co-head coaches 1997-98; 2001-Pres. Champer, the Bulldog softball team has compiled a 452-168 overall record with eight-straight NCAA tournament appearances and two SEC championships, establishing Georgia as one of the elite programs in the country. In 2009, Harris-Champer’s Bulldogs were tabbed the Easton Sports, Inc., Team of the Year after going 47-12 and advancing to their first-ever Women’s College World Series appearance, where they went 3-2 and were one of the final four teams standings. The Bulldogs were the nation’s youngest team in 2009 with 90-percent underclassman but still finished the year with NCAA statistics rankings of first in fielding percentage (.981), second in slugging percentage (.574), fourth in home runs per game (1.44), sixth in scoring (6.32 runs per game) and 10th in batting average (.319). In SEC play, the Bulldogs went 18-7 to finish second in the Eastern Division and third overall, and they set a new league record for team slugging percentage and would have set a new home run record with 85 long balls had it not been for Florida’s 86 home runs in 2009. Georgia also tied for the league lead in triples with 17 and its national-leading fielding percentage was the third-best in SEC history. Additionally, several team records were broken in 2009 as the Bulldogs established new single-season records for home runs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and fielding percentage, and they tied the school record for sacrifice flies (23). In both the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) final poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball final poll, the Bulldogs ranked fourth behind national champion Washington, national runner-up Florida and Alabama. The ranking of fourth is the highest-ever for Georgia passing the program’s previous best of fifth during middle of the 2004 season. Under Harris-Champer’s guidance, sophomores Alisa Goler and Taylor Schlopy were named first-team All-Americans. Goler was also a USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year top 10 finalist, and Schlopy was chosen to the USA Softball Japan Cup Team and helped the Americans win Gold. In 2008, the Georgia softball program finished with an overall record of 46-24, an SEC mark of 14-14 (3rd Eastern Division) and advanced to just its second-ever NCAA Super Regional to exceed expectations and display a promising future. With an 18-player roster consisting of fifty percent freshmen and 12 underclassmen, the prospect of what to expect from the onset of the season was uncertain. Regardless of what anyone’s outlook was for youthful squad, it’s clear that the Bulldogs went well beyond those expectations as they recorded Georgia’s seventh-straight season with 46 wins and earned the program’s seventh-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. The Bulldogs finished ranked No. 17 by USA Today/ NFCA and No. 18 by ESPN.com/USA Softball.

Georgia won seven of its last eight SEC games propelling the team to a school-record sixth-consecutive postseason appearance.

Offensively, the Bulldogs concluded degree (1989) and Master’s in Sports the season with the seventh-highest team batting Administration from Western Illinois average (.318) in the nation. Georgia also set a school record after three student-athletes (Kellie Head Coaching Experience: Middleton, Jessica Doucette and Megan McAllister) earned All-America distinctions in 2006. Nicholls State (1996-97) The 2005 season proved to be a record-setting WPSL’s Orlando Wahoos (1997) campaign for the Bulldogs as they earned their Southern Miss (1999-00) second conference championship in three years Georgia (2001- Present) while appearing in the championship game of an NCAA Super Regional.

The addition of Georgia’s multi-million dollar stadium has upgraded the facilities to “second to none” status. Directed by head coach Lu Harris-Champer, the sessions are aimed at providing the best coach-player ratio of any softball camp in operation. Assisted by members of the Georgia softball team, the goal of the instructional staff is to assist each camper to improve to her highest level of ability. Harris-Champer and her staff want each camper to leave with the feeling that she has bettered herself and her softball skills by participating in the camp.

Sports Medicine / Why Georgia?
SPORTS MEDICINE The goal of the sports medicine team is two-fold: the prevention and care of injuries. Benjamin Franklin once said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This concept is just as important toady in sports medicine as it was over 200 years ago. Prevention of injuries is accomplished through pre-participation physical exams, preventative maintenance rehab programs, taping, bracing and padding, and education. When injuries do occur, the role of the sports medicine team is to promptly evaluate, diagnose and provide proper care for those injuries. The goal in the event of an injury is to return the athlete to his or her previous performance level as quickly, and as safely, as possible. But when an athlete is injured, his or her best interests are the primary focus of the sports medicine team.
WHY GEORGIA? “Throughout the recruiting process I realized that all the coaches, players and support staff formed a family-like atmosphere. UGA offers not only a great venue for excelling in athletics, but a degree from Georgia equips you with the necessary skills to succeed in life after college.”
Former Bulldog Quarterback & Overall #1 NFL Draft Pick Matthew Stafford
“Georgia has everything – the weather, the location and the campus. The academics are really good and increasing every year. I just loved it when I came here.”
Former Gym Dog & Honda Award Winner Courtney Kupets
“I decided to come to Georgia because I love the spirit and tradition of the school. It also has great facilities and has everything I was looking for academically and athletically.”

What It Means To Be A Bulldog “Being a Bulldog is the most amazing experience. What makes it most special is knowing when you walk the campus in Athens you are walking in the same steps that so many greats have taken. It’s amazing to know that the successes we have in softball are shared with the successes of the other sports at UGA. To think that Teresa Edwards, Kristy Kowal, Herschel Walker, Charley Trippi, Dominique Wilkins, Dan Magill, Vince Dooley, and Wally Butts paved the path for all of our current athletes and coaches is so inspiring. It is such an awesome responsibility as a University of Georgia coach and athlete to know that whether you are in Athens, Atlanta, Rome, Savannah, Albany, Columbus or the North Georgia Mountains, there are literally millions of University of Georgia fans and supporters we are representing. This is what motivates me, my staff and our team to give our all for Georgia each day.”
Lu Harris-Champer (2001-current) Top 10 Winningest Active NCAA Division I Coaches “There are so many great things about being a member of not only the University of Georgia softball program, but also about being a student at UGA. Being a Bulldog is about heart. It’s about commitment not only to yourself, but to your family and everyone else around you. It’s about having a special kind of pride in everything you do because you know there are a million other people that would do anything for the opportunities you have while at UGA. Being a Bulldog is about excellence; excellence through academics, sports, and relationships. At Georgia, you are pushed to get more out of yourself than you ever thought possible. It’s about digging deep and bringing out your personal best in all aspects of life.”
Kasi Carroll (2004-07) All-SEC and Academic All-American “Being a Bulldog means more to me now that I have completed not only my athletic career, but my academic career at UGA. To be a Bulldog means to be the pride of your school, your community, your teammates, and most of all your family. I have made memories and friends that I will have for the rest of my life. Competing for Georgia developed me not only as an athlete but as a person. The things I learned on the field will help me in every aspect of my life in the future. Leaving the southern hospitality to move to the north makes me miss UGA everyday.”
Kim Wendland (2002-05) Three-time All-American “The University of Georgia will always have a special place in my heart. Not only did I get to exceed at the sport of softball, but I also received a great education. In the 4 1/2 years that I was at UGA I learned what it meant to be part of the Bulldog family, and that is something that will never be forgotten. I will always bleed Red & Black! My experience at UGA taught me so many great things that I can now take with me to my professional career. My experience at UGA was definitely one of the best times of my life!”
Michelle Green (2002-05) Two-time All-American
On the Road with the Bulldogs
With an emphasis on the “student� part of studentathlete, the Bulldog softball program is always looking for ways to help in the classroom. Without question, the rigors of traveling can at times have an adverse affect on a student-athlete’s schedule. That is why, when possible, the Bulldogs travel by airplane to games in order to maximize the time in their schedule, which allows them more time to concentrate on the books.
Within the past five seasons, the Bulldogs have traveled to Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego and Palm Springs, Calif., Miami, Fla., Honolulu, Hawaii and Oklahoma City!

The academic life of Georgia softball players is important and is a major focus in the overall experience of student-athletes at UGA. The academic atmosphere is one which encourages learning, growth in personal and career goals, and assisting others in becoming the best they can be. Graduation is the focus of Georgia’s student-athletes as they prepare for life after college — and after softball.

“Opportunity: A good chance for self-advancement” Whatever the career goals of a student-athlete, becoming a Georgia Bulldog will provide you with the opportunity to achieve those objectives. All across the state of Georgia, the southeast, and in many of the 50 states, former Georgia Bulldogs are living lives of achievement, success and self-fulfillment. “In retrospect, I realize how fortunate and blessed I am to have been given the opportunity to play softball at the University of Georgia. Not only was it an honor to play for the Bulldog Nation, but more specifically, for Coach Harris and the entire softball staff. The daily challenges provided by the coaches have driven me to new heights on and off the field. For they have instilled in me the ability to be a leader, to never settle for mediocrity, and to respect your competitor. These invaluable lessons not only lead to success on the field, but will also lead to success off of the field as I pursue an education and career in the field of pharmacy.” Katie Lewis (Georgia, ‘05) • Lewis is currently enrolled in pharmacy school • ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American • SEC Academic Honor Roll “Looking back on my time spent at the University of Georgia, the first thought that comes to mind is how truly blessed I was. I will always value the lessons I’ve learned and the experiences I’ve gained. Playing softball for Coach Harris and her staff prepared me for the real world in ways I never anticipated. While the day-to-day competition gave me the drive to excel and to be the best on all of life’s playing fields, it was the structured and disciplined working environment and the attention to detail that Coach Harris and her staff demanded that has been the most beneficial to me in my professional life. I will always be grateful to Coach Harris and her staff for helping prepare me for the next phase of my life. Good luck and Go Dawgs!” Amy Brannan (Georgia, ‘03) • Brannan works as group sales representative with GE Financial Assurance • SEC Academic Honor Roll

Uga IV
The Uga line began with Uga I, born Hood’s Ole Dan. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus. The practice of having Uga wear a red jersey on the sideline at games began during his reign, which lasted from 1956-66.
Uga IV, born Seiler’s Uga Four, appeared at the Heisman Trophy banquet with Herschel Walker in 1982, the first mascot ever invited to the ceremony. Following his reign from 1981-89, Uga IV was declared “Dog of the Decade” by Vince Dooley in 1991.
Uga II
Uga V
Uga II, born Ole Dan’s Uga, took over at Homecoming, 1966. As he was led to midfield at Sanford Stadium, the student body erupted in a cheer that was picked up by the entire stadium, ‘‘Damn Good Dog!’’ His reign lasted until 1972.
Born Uga IV’s Magillicuddy II and reigning from 199099, Uga V appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which proclaimed him the nation’s best college mascot. Uga V also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.”

Uga III, born Seiler’s Uga Three, was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker guided the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. Uga III reigned from 1972-80, retiring on the 100th football game of his career.
Uga VI, born Uga V’s Watchagot Loran, reigned from 1999-2008. Uga VI was featured in an Emmywinning episode of Turner South’s Liars and Legends and as part of a college football segment on NBC Nightly News.
Georgia Traditions Bulldogs Many old timers say Georgia acquired the nickname, ‘‘Bulldogs,’’ because of the strong ties with Yale. Georgia’s first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man and the early buildings on campus were designed from blueprints of the same buildings at Yale. But on Nov. 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about school nicknames and said, ‘‘The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity.’’ After a 0-0 tie with Virginia in Charlottesville on Nov. 6, 1920, Atlanta Constitution writer Cliff Wheatley used the name ‘‘Bulldogs’’ in his story five times. The name has been used ever since.
The Chapel Bell The ringing of the chapel bell after a Georgia victory is a tradition that continues even though freshmen are no longer ordered to do the chore. In the 1890s, the playing field was located only yards from the Chapel and first-year students were compelled to ring the bell until midnight in celebration of a Bulldog victory. Today, students, alumni, and townspeople still rush to the Chapel to ring the bell after a gridiron victory.
The Arch The historic Arch which sits on the edge of North campus was installed in 1864. For years, freshmen were forbidden to walk under the Arch. Violators risked punishment from upperclassmen. Once rigidly enforced, the tradition of hazing of freshmen became passe’. However, many freshmen, learning of the tradition during orientation or from other sources, still choose to honor the century-old tradition.
Silver Britches Silver Britches were an innovation of Coach Wally Butts, who took over as head coach in 1939. The handsome pants, complimented by a bright red jersey, made for a striking uniform. Through the years, fans referred to the Bulldogs’ silver britches in their chants and on banners, but the phrase really caught on in the early 1950s with a cheer, banners and colorful vests that proclaimed ‘‘Go You Silver Britches.’’ Coach Vince Dooley redesigned the uniform when he came in 1964 and used white pants; however, he re-instituted the silver britches in 1980 just prior to Georgia’s national championship season.
How ’Bout Them Dogs! This is a slogan of recent vintage, but one that has become a battle cry of Bulldog fans probably because of its obvious grammatical slur. It first surfaced during the 1970s, especially during the 1978 season when the Bulldogs posted several come-from-behind victories. It gained national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national championship in 1980. A major wire-service used the phrase in its story of Georgia’s victory over Notre Dame.
Glory, Glory Among the University’s oldest and most lasting traditions is the school fight song, ‘‘Glory, Glory,’’ which is sung to the tune of ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.’’ It was sung at games in the 1890s, but arranged in its present form by Georgia’s immortal musician-composer Hugh Hodgson in 1915.
Between The Hedges A reference to Sanford Stadium that dates back to the early 1930s. The famous English privet hedges that surround Sanford Stadium’s playing field were only one foot high when the stadium was dedicated in 1929 and were protected by a wooden fence. It was natural for a clever sports writer, referring to an upcoming home game, to observe ‘‘that the Bulldogs will have their opponent ‘between the hedges.’’’ At least one old-timer says the phrase was first coined by legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice.

2009 Recap UGA Makes First-Ever Women’s College World Series Appearance Named Easton Team Of The Year
UGA Softball History
The Georgia Bulldogs finished the 2009 season with a 47-12 overall record, made the school’s eighth-consecutive NCAA Championship appearance and advanced to the program’s first-ever Women’s College World Series. Georgia, the Easton Sports, Inc., Team of the Year, reached the final four of the WCWS and was the only team to defeat eventual national champion Washington at the event. In both the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) final poll and the ESPN.com/USA Softball final poll, the Bulldogs ranked fourth behind national champion Washington, national runner-up Florida and Alabama. The ranking of fourth is the highest-ever for Georgia passing the program’s previous best of fifth during middle of the 2004 season. The Bulldogs were the nation’s youngest team in 2009 with 90-percent underclassman but still finished the year with NCAA statistics rankings of first in fielding percentage (.981), second in slugging percentage (.574), fourth in home runs per game (1.44), sixth in scoring (6.32 runs per game) and 10th in batting average (.319). Among the Southeastern Conference, where Georgia finished second in the Eastern Division and third overall with a record of 18-7, the Bulldogs set a new league record for team slugging percentage and would have set a new home run record with 85 long balls except for Florida’s 86 this season. Georgia also tied for the league lead in triples with 17 and its national-leading fielding percentage was the third-best in SEC history. In the Georgia record books, several team and individual records were broken in 2009. As a team, the Bulldogs established new single-season records for home runs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and fielding percentage. They also tied the school record for sacrifice flies (23). Individually, sophomore Alisa Goler climbed to the top of multiple categories. She now stands as the single-season school record holder for batting average (.455), home runs (24), RBI (83), extra-base hits (41), total bases (164), slugging percentage (.994), on-base percentage (.551), walk-to-strikeout ratio (6.00) and “Toughest to K” with just six strikeouts per 165 at-bats. Both Goler’s RBI and slugging percentage totals established new SEC records, and her slugging percentage was the best mark in the nation this season. Goler’s 24 home runs were just one shy of the SEC record set by Alabama’s Kelly Kretschman in 1998. Right behind Goler’s charge into the record books was fellow sophomore Taylor Schlopy. If not for Goler, Schlopy would have set new Georgia records for slugging (.819) and on-base percentage (.550). Schlopy led the team in runs scored with 71, which tied for the third-best total in school history, and she also contributed 15 home runs and 47 RBI. Her 15 long balls rank tied fourth most in UGA history. Both Goler, a USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year top 10 finalist, and Schlopy, who was among 41 athletes chosen to attend the USA Softball Women’s National Team selection camp, were named first-team All-America by both the NFCA and Easton. The end of the 2009 season marked the end of seniors Christie Hamilton and Kristin Schnake’s Bulldog careers. Hamilton finishes her career at Georgia ranked fourth in several categories including appearances (108), starts (76), wins (56), complete games (50), shutouts (18/9), saves (4), innings pitched (534.1) and strikeouts (429). Schnake finishes her career at Georgia ranked fourth in assists (347), fifth in sacrifice hits (33) and tied 10th in stolen bases (42). Schnake signed with the USSSA Pride of the National Pro Fastpitch league to play professionally.
