2010 Appalachian State Tennis Appalachian State University men’s tennis is primed for yet another strong season in 2010, as the Mountaineers return four seasoned starters to the fold from a squad that went 15-10 a season ago and 5-5 in conference action.

No strangers to success, the Apps had a record-breaking 2009 campaign, one that included the first-ever national ranking in school history (no.67), head coach Bob Lake capturing his 100th career win on March 12 against The Citadel, Bobby Lake earning a national singles ranking at no.125 in the country, and the Apps capturing the most wins in a season dating back to 1993. Bobby Lake also picked up first-team all-SoCon honors, making it the first time since 1997 a Mountaineer was tabbed with the distinction.

With the graduation of Bobby Lake and Lee Floyd ASU will have to rely heavily on its four returners and five highly talented newcomers.

Seniors Trent Constance and Peter Jacobs will be looked upon for leadership and contributions this season as the duo are the lone seniors and upperclassmen on the team in a playing capacity.

Constance, mainly occupied the number two singles position in 2009, posting a 10-8 record, while Jacobs primarily played at the number three spot, going a stout 14-5 in singles action.

The two also played doubles together and had a team-best overall record, going 19-6 at number two, including an 8-2 conference mark.

Sophomores Alain Humblet and Philip Kloc were quite solid last year as well, combining for 34 victories in singles play.

Humblet went 15-9 at the number six singles spot, including holding a 6-4 league record, while Kloc grabbed a team-high 19 wins, suffering just six losses at number five singles.

With such a young squad, head coach Bob Lake looks to depend on its four returners for guidance, along with having large expectations for the incoming class. “ I expect big things from our four returning starters. The fact that we have four of six returners for this season gives us a great nucleus to build upon and I am looking forward to see what they can accomplish and how they will mesh with the very strong incoming class,” Lake said.

The five incoming freshman hail from North Carolina, Serbia and Tennessee. All standouts during their prep playing careers, all five will be battling for the two open singles spots on the

team with the coveted number one position up for grabs.

Keeping with tradition, Appalachian will be tested throughout the 2010 season as the Mountaineers face three nationally

Senior Peter Jacobs ranked opponents, along with what proves to be an always tough Southern Conference slate.

The season begins with a bang, as ASU hosts in-state rival East Carolina on February 6 in the 2010 season-opener.

“Our first match of the season is a huge test, one that we are dilligently preparing for,’” Lake said. “With both teams holding national rankings a season ago, and us picking up a 4-3 win on their home court last year, it should make for a great match.”

In what is the biggest test in the early portion of the schedule, the Mountaineers square off against No. 36 South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. Continuing with its nine-match road swing, SoCon play opens up on March 16 in Spartanburg, S.C. as the Apps battle Wofford.

Conference play doesn’t get any easier for the Black and Gold, as it squares off against No. 61 Furman, the two-time defending conference champions on March 24.

ASU jumps into its league slate in full force, welcoming College of Charleston and Georgia Southern to the High Country before hitting the road to take on Chattanooga and UNC Greensboro in early April.

Contests against The Citadel, Samford and Elon are on the schedule as well, before the regular-season comes to a close with a home match against Davidson on April 18.

After coming up just-short to the tournament runner-up, Elon, a season ago in the quarterfinals, Appalachian looks for its first conference crown in over three-decades, as the squad will try and be just one of four that heads to Charleston, S.C. for the 2010 Southern Conference championships, beginning April 22.

“Our main goal for the season is to be one of the top four teams to qualify for the conference tournament and then make a run at a winning a Southern Conference title “ Lake said. “To achieve this we will need to step up our game and I think we will also need to have three players earn all-conference honors. Along with those goals, we also want to get back on the national scene and as a team earn a national ranking or have indvidual players ranked in the top of the country.”

A tennis veteran with over 32 years of playing experience, Lake instructs and designs programs for top-ranked juniors. He regularly trains state, regional and national-caliber players.

2010 Appalachian State Tennis With the graduation of just one senior, Appalachian State University women’s tennis looks to build upon its successes from a season ago and readies for a 2010 campaign filled with much anticipation.

A new season brings about new expectations for a rejuvenated 2010 team, that includes two seasoned seniors and a highly touted incoming class.

After finishing the 2009 season with a 9-16 record including a 3-7 conference mark, earning one more overall and two more conference victoies than the previous season, the Mountaineers will look to its six experienced returning players for the upcoming campaign, along with three talented newcomers.

Seniors Caroline Mauch and Amanda Cash anchor the veteran group of returnees, with the two combining for 19 wins at the number one and two single spots in 2009.

Sophomores Gisela Fernandez, Blakeley Bean and Olivia Stannard all saw vast amounts of playing time last season as well and will be counted upon to provide leadership and guidance to the three newcomers to the squad.

Fernandez posted a 7-10 record, bouncing between the three, four, five and number six spots with five of her wins coming at the number six singles position.

Bean saw action at numerous spot as well, playing the one through five positions, with her victories evenly distributed between the three and four spots.

Recording a 5-14 singles record, Stannard was depended on for her productive doubles play. The Australia native along with doubles partner Fernandez earned eight of Appalachian’s nine wins in doubles action, as the duo played at number one doubles.

Juniors Laura Janke and Heather Prior are expected to fit into the mix as well this season, having two seasons of collegiate experience under their belts, both were active in singles and doubles play a season ago.

Head coach Colin Crothers is counting on the three newcomers to provide a spark, as all bring new talent to the team and are expected to make an immediate impact.

Senior Caroline Mauch

The 2010 season begins in earnest in mid-January when the Mountaineers hit the road for five non-conference tests, before welcoming East Carolina to the High Country for the 2010 home-opener.

The Black and Gold dropped a 7-0 decision to the Pirates last

Senior Amanda Cash season and this marks the third-straight year the two teams will square off in in non-conference action.

ASU plays its second home contest of the 2010 season on March 5, as the Mountaineers welcome Longwood to the High Country.

The homestand however is short-lived, as the Apps return to the road for three matches in Orlando, Fla. during spring break.

ASU will face Radford, South Dakota State and Bowling Green while in the Sunshine State.

The ever-grueling Southern Conference slate starts on March 14 with a match at Chattanooga and is followed by crucial league contests at Elon and Wofford.

The challenging schedule then brings Appalachian back home to play three SoCon matches in seven days, taking on College of Charleston, Davidson and Georgia Southern.

It does not get any easier, as a match at Furman, winners of five of the last six Southern Conference championships highlights the schedule.

A five-match homestand marks the end of regular-season contests, with the Black and Gold stepping out of conference in two of the five matches, to host UNC Asheville and UNC Charlotte.

Appalachian hosts Samford, Saturday April 17 on senior day, marking the final home contest of the 2010 season.

After falling to Chattanooga in the first round of the 2009 Southern Conference tournament, the Mountaineers are in control of their own destiny as just the top four teams from the conference qualify for the SoCon tournament, set for April 24 in Charleston, S.C.

2010 Appalachian State Tennis Colin Crothers Head Coach 12th Season Flagler College

Colin Crothers is in his 12th year as head women’s tennis coach at Appalachian State University. He has led the Black and Gold to three double-digit win seasons and help the Mountaineers remain a threat in the ever-challenging Southern Conference.

During the 2009 season, Appalachian went 9-16 overall and 3-7 in the SoCon, earning one more overall and two more conference wins than the previous season. The league wins were the most ASU had notched since 2006.

During the 2006 campaign, the Mountaineers earned an overall record of 13-8 and went 5-4 in SoCon play.

Crothers has helped turn the program around. In 1999, during his first season at helm, Appalachian tallied a 3-15 record, but in 2000 the team bounced back, posting an impressive record of 12-7, including a 6-3 mark in the SoCon. Prior to coming to ASU, Crothers was a teaching professional. He served stints at top facilities in Pittsburgh, Pa., Atlanta, Ga., and at Boone’s Yonahlossee Resort.

Crothers also participates in North Carolina state tournaments, and was ranked as high as No. 7 in the state’s 35 and over division in 1999.

A four-year letter winner at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fla., Crothers graduated with a degree in business administration. While playing for the Saints, he was tabbed a threetime NAIA tennis all-American. He was also awarded Academic All-America plaudits in 1983. Crothers earned his Master’s degree in mathematics from Appalachian in 1996.

Crothers is married to Dr. Doris Bazzini, a psychology professor at Appalachian. They have two sons, Joel Peter (8) and Sean Colin (6). Crothers and his family reside in Boone.

2010 Appalachian State Tennis Charlie Cobb Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Fifth Year

I

n 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 I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three- consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-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 recognition awards, based on being among the nation’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 time 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-squarefoot 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 facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 suites.

The facilities enhancements 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 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 competition 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 an 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 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl.

As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern 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 a eight-year-old daughter, Branan.

Prior to her stint at Illinois, Richardson spent nine years at the University of South Florida, including seven seasons as head volleyball coach.

She led her team to four Sun Belt championships (1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989).

Richardson came to South Florida from Gardner-Webb where she was a volleyball coach during the 1981 season.

2010 Appalachian State Tennis

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.
