ASU FIELD HOCKEY Season Preview Appalachian State University field hockey is looking to put together a winning season in 2009 with a cast of experienced returnees and four talented newcomers. With eight starters from last season back in the fold, the Mounatineers are poised to enjoy their best season since a 12-win campaign in 2002. Head coach Brandi Alexander enters her fifth season in the High Country with a solid core of veterans eager to re-establsish Appalachian State as one of the top programs in the competetitive NorPac Conference. The 2009 Mountaineers benefit from a total of of 11 letterwinners returning from last season, including 10 who made appearances in the starting lineup. Captains Denise Adams, Jessie Harris and Ashley Patterson will be called upon to provide leadership for the squad, as they face a challenging non-conference schedule in addition to their conference slate. Offense Senior forward Jessie Harris (17 points),and junior forward/midfielder Nicole Morgan (11 points) are the top returning scorers from 2008 and will be counted upon again to lead the Apps’ offensive attack in ‘09. Harris, a native of Aurora, Colo., led the Mountaineers in 2008 with seven assists and placed second in goals behind Amanda Young with six. Morgan, who was named NorPac Offensive Player of the week following a two-goal performance last season against Radford, provides the Apps with depth and versatility at both the forward and midfielder positions. Juniors Caitlin Counts and Christine ZanoJessie Harris wicz also return for the 2009 season. Counts, a midfielder from Alexandria, Va., started all 19 games as a sophomore last season and will bring offensive firepower to the Mountaineer attack. Zanowicz looks to build upon a breakout season in ‘ 08 in which she tallied four goals on the season, placing her eighth in the NorPac during conference play. Fellow junior Jenn Heiss made 12 starts in 2008 and tied for the team lead with two defensive saves. Heiss is expected to bring a strong defensive presence to the Apps’ midline in 2009. Defense Defensively, senior Ashley Patterson anchors ASU’ s back line. The Fairfax, Va. native started all 19 games in 2008 and also tallied six points on the season. Her versatility will be a key factor to the Mountaineers’ success in 2009. Joining Patterson in the backfield are junior Katie Price and sophomore Lauren Kloeppinger. Price emerged as one of the Appalachian’s most consistent performers in 2008, starting 16 games and scoring seven points. The Virginia Beach native also notched a key assist late in ASU’s home victory over NorPac-rival Davidson. Kloeppinger had a successful rookie campaign in ‘08. The St. Lous native appeared in all 19 games, starting 10, and found the back of the net twice. The continued development of Price and Kloeppinger will be crucial to the Mountaineer defense in 2009.

Goalkeepers The ‘09 Mountaineers have the luxury of returning two players that have both played extended minutes in goal. Junior Denise Adams and sophomore Bridgette Street shared time last season between the pipes with the graduated Sabra Holt and are both expected to see significant time in the net this season. As a redshirt freshman in 2007, Adams posted 162 saves, a mark good for the ninth-best single season total in school history. The Aiea, Hawaii native made three starts for the Apps in ‘08, and was credited with the win in both ASU victories last season. Street emerged as one of the top young goalkeepers in the NorPac in 2008, appearing in nine games and starting six. The Stillwater, Pa. native tied for the team lead with Holt by posting 70 saves on the season and was also named NorPac rookie of the week following a nine-save perfromance against Radford. With two experienced players in the net, the goalkeeper position is expected to be one of the Mountaineers’ strengths in 2009. Newcomers Appalachian also brings in four freshmen in 2009 that are expected to contribute immediately. Lesley Thomas, a native of Zimbabwe was a three-time member of her country’s national team and will provide depth at the forward position. Thomas is joined at forward by Fairfax, Va. native Lisa Charney. Charney is coming off a successful prep career in which she was named Concorde District Player of the Year as a senior. Defensive back Casey Lammando led her high school team to a state championship as a senior, and will help solidify the Mountaineers defensively. Sarah Anderson a walk-on from Louisville, Ky., will compete for time in goal with returnees Denise Adams and Bridgette Street. Outlook Following a strong series of practices in the spring, Coach Alexander is optimistic that the progress made in spring drills will carry over to the fall season. “The goal for us in the fall is to continue to build off the foundation we laid in spring practice,” Alexander said. “ If we can do that, I believe we have the pieces in place to have a strong season this year. “ With non-conference matches against national powers Wake Forest and Villanova on top of the always challenging NorPac schedule, Alexander is counting on her upperclassmen to provide stability for the Mountaineers in 2009. “We have a core group of returners that have been in the program for a few years now, and we need them to provide leadership for us this year, “Alexander said. “When you add that to the group of freshmen we have coming in this year, you have the nucleus of a team that can do some good things.” Appalachian opens up their season with non-conference tilts against Sacred Heart and Ball State the weekend of August 29-30 at Davidson. A four -game home stand in late September is highlighted by a NorPac match against rival Davidson on September 18. The homestand is followed by seven consecutive road matches, including a contest with Wake Forest October 4 in Winston-Salem. ASU will travel to Palo Alto, Ca. November 5 for the NorPac onference tournament hosted by Stanford.

ASU FIELD HOCKEY

NorPac Appalachian State University competes in Division I Field Hockey and is a member of the Northern Pacific Field Hockey Conference. (NorPac). Formed in 1982, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has evolved over the past 27 years from an initial California membership to the current east and west blend. Three charter instituitions remain: University of the Pacific, Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley. Appalachian State University and Davidson College accepted invitations to join in 2000 followed by Radford University in 2001. Longwood University was added to the conference in 2005 as a provisional member while reclassifying to a Division I membership. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification requirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and was the host for the 2008 championship. UC Davis joins the NorPac conference for the 2009 season. After the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program was elevated from club to intercollegiate status, the NorPac Conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member in July 2008. The Aggies are eligible to complete in a full 2009 conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament held at Stanford University Nov. 5-7.

With the addition of UC Davis as the eighth member, the conference will re-establish Eastern and Western divisional play in 2009. The Aggies join California, Pacific and Stanford to make up the West Division. Appalachian State, Davidson, Longwood and Radford will form the East Division. The round-robin divisional play will culminate with the conference championship tournament for all eight members. In 1998, the growth and development of the NorPac as an NCAA single-sport conference was assisted by a three-year grant from the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the NCAA, as well as by a partnership with and support from the United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA). Through the grant opportunity, the restructuring of the conference included members California, Davis and Elkins College, Missouri State, Pacific, Saint Louis and Stanford University. Since 1999, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has received an NCAA play-in opportunity or a conference automatic qualification (2005). Over the past decade NorPac representatives are 7-2 in NCAA play-in games.

ASU FIELD HOCKEY Academic Excellence Appalachian State University field hockey not only takes pride in its accomplishments on the field, but for the performance of its studentathletes in the classroom as well. The Mountaineer program has established a tradition of academic success, and its scholastic achievements over the past 15 years rival that of any program in the country. Since 1994, ASU has placed 112 student-athletes on the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NHFCA) acadmemic squad, including a record-tying 15 in 2008. To be eligible for the squad, a student athlete must have a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2008 squad was also honored with an NFHCA team award, in recognition of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall GPA above 3.0 Appalachian State University field hockey was honored in 2008 with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for its latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) score released by the NCAA.

Teams honored by the NCAA earned multiple Academic Progress Report (APR) scores in the top 10 percent for the past four years. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years The Mountaineers have ranked in the top 10 percent of all field hockey squads to earn the distinction. The Apps were one of just 11 field hockey teams in the country to be honored and the lone squad from the NorPac. ASU was one of eight Southern Conference institutions to have a team honored with the Public Recognition Award . The APR is designed to provide a real-time look at a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High performing teams recieving awards posted APR scores ranging from 965 to a perfect 1000.

ASU FIELD HOCKEY

ASU FIELD HOCKEY Dr. Jan Watson

ASU placed 57 players on the Deep South All-Star team during Coach Watson’s tenure.

Field hockey was introduced at Appalachian State University in the fall of 1968. The first intercollegiate sport for the female population on campus, Appalachian’s field hockey program is one of the oldest in the state of North Carolina. The success of the field hockey program at ASU is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of Dr. Jan Watson. Dr. Watson served as head field hockey coach from the inaugural season in 1968 through 1972 and again from 1974 until 1983. Under Dr. Watson’s direction, ASU’s field hockey enjoyed an unparalleled level of success. In 15 years as head coach, she posted an impressive winloss record of 157-65-32. Her 157 wins remain a school record.

Dr. Watson’s participation in college athletics goes far beyond her work at Appalachian. One of the most prominent advocates for the advancement of women’s athletics in the country, Watson co-founded the Deep South Field Hockey Association with Ruth Reid of Furman and also served as the association’s first president. Watson also served as treasurer of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which disbanded in 1983. Dr. Watson was inducted into the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.

The Dr. Jan Watson Endowed Scholarship In 1993, the Women’s Field Hockey Endowment was founded to provide a venue by which former players, friends, and supporters of the program could assist with the program’s scholarship efforts. In 1997, the endowment was renamed the Dr. Jan Watson Endowment for Field Hockey in recognition of the contributions Dr. Watson has made to the Field Hockey program at ASU. Currently, the endowment has a cash value of over $42,000 with an additional $30,000 in pledges resulting from the University’s “Campaign for the Second Century”.

Charlie Cobb Director of Athletics 5th Year at ASU

In his first four years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 48 months of Cobb’s tenure include: - Three NCAA Division 1 football national championships -- marking the first time that any program has ever won three consecutive NCAA Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS -- formerly Division 1-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. - Shattering regular season attendance records at “The Rock” with a school record 28,227 fans per game piling into Kidd Brewer Stadium during the 2008 regular season -- more than 140 percent of the stadium’s ‘08 seating capacity of 16,650. - A 298 percent increase in football season-ticket sales since his arrival in 2005. - Four-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships -- recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. - Two Germann Cup championships -- recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the Southern Conference. - 35 percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25) - Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recogni tion awards, based on being among the nations’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. - The Yosef Club, which provides scholarships for student-athletes, raising nearly $2.5 million in 2008-09 -- reaching the $2 million threshold for the second-straight year and up over $1.8 million from the year before Cobb’s arrival. - Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to $11 million in 2009-10. Additionally, Cobb has spearheaded Appalachian’s $50 million facilities enhancement campaign, which will come to fruition this fall with the completion of the centerpiece of the campaign, the 120,000 square-foot Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex. The seven-story complex, located behind KBS’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilites, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level suites. The facilities enhancement has also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400 seat upper deck on the stadium’ s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign.

In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competetion venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work-ethic of the 41-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations, and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for and annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department.

In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeasten Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90. They have an 11-year-old son, Harrison, and an eight-year-old daughter, Branan.

FROM THE DESK OF THE CHANCELLOR ...

There’s a fresh, new excitement buzzing within Kidd Brewer Stadium – also known as “The Rock,” a fitting term for the solid preparation our student-athletes achieve during their time at Appalachian State University. The Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex behind the west-side stands exemplifies Appalachian’s progress in enhancing its athletics facilities. All 20 varsity sports benefit from the facility’s new locker rooms, study areas, and strength and conditioning rooms. There are also new concessions and restroom areas for our fans. I thank our faculty, staff, students, loyal alumni and friends for their support in making this impressive facility possible. Under the complex’s “Big A” sign, there’s a lot to cheer about: The Mountaineers have earned both the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics 29 times since the award was established in 1979 and the Germann Cup, recognizing the top women’s program in the conference, six of the 18 years the award has been presented. In addition, our student-athletes consistently make the Southern Conference’s Academic Honor Roll. For all students, Appalachian aspires to be a model 21st-century, nationally recognized university combining the best characteristics of a liberal arts education with the opportunities afforded by many research institutions. We are committed to attracting, educating and graduating the best students and to producing the highest levels of scholarship. Appalachian, an influential world citizen preparing students for life in global and local communities, remains an excellent value. Once again, Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine has recognized Appalachian in its list of the nation’s top 100 values in public colleges and universities in 2008-09. Kiplinger’s rankings are based on a combination of outstanding academic quality and an affordable price tag. We are also committed to improving citizen’s lives in this region, state and nation through research, such as the federally supported AppalAIR project that monitors air quality and atmospheric conditions and their impact on the region’s ecosystems and climate. Construction of a model house on campus to test innovative technologies and building practices is an example of the energy solutions for which Appalachian is becoming known. In addition, our students are committed to sustainability – as evidenced by their self-imposed Renewable Energy Initiative fee that supports projects such as the installation of solar panels at Raley Hall and a solar thermal system for providing hot water to Plemmons Student Union. Notable scholarship, excellent teaching and meaningful service define this institution. Thank you for your continued support of Appalachian, and I hope you enjoy the game. With Mountaineer pride,

Boone, North Carolina Boone lies nestled in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians and is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Appalachian State University began as Watauga Academy in 1899 to educate the mountain children and ultimately to prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. Boone and Appalachian grew up together in the secluded wilderness, with few roads and no railroad linking them to the communities that lay in pockets below. This relative isolation allowed both town and school to develop strong character through overcoming adversity and created a unique heritage for both. Boone is now a bustling university town characterized by beautiful mountain scenery, distinct four-season weather, mountain heritage culture and casual living – and it is the center of tourism and commerce for Watauga County and the surrounding High Country. Outdoor activities, cultural events, fine dining and unique shopping bring visitors from all over the world to experience the friendly, welcoming face of this mountain town. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as its top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. Boone is a year-round playground for business meetings and conferences, as well as leisure. The cool summers, dazzling colors of fall and serene winters offer something for every nature lover. An unusually wide array of quality arts and cultural programming enhance the Boone community. The university’s An Appalachian Summer Festival, a month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. Notable performers include Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. The jewel of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a robust community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of new and historically important artwork, and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life. That’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
