2010 season outlook

2010 Appalachian State Volleyball

With a plethora of incoming talent and several seasoned veterans returning to the fold, Appalachian State University volleyball is ready for what should be yet another impressive campaign in 2010. The 2009 season ended with the Black and Gold earning one of two coveted spots in the Southern Conference’s North Division to qualify for the SoCon Tournament, but ASU’s run was cut short by tournament-host and SoCon South Division champion Furman. The 2010 slate will prove to be quite a challenge and test the rather youthful team, as the squad plays in four tournaments before opening its conference slate at home on September 25 against The Citadel. Head coach Matt Ginipro is anxiously awaiting the start of the season and looking forward to seeing his team in action. “We’re excited to get the 2010 season underway and push towards a SoCon championship,” Ginipro said. “The teams we are playing in the non-conference segment of our schedule are extremely talented and will challenge us to play our best every match. Every year, this conference gets more and more competitive across the board. We had a great spring and I know our returners, along with our five incoming players, are fired up to be at the top of the SoCon.” Appalachian’s season gets underway in late August when the Apps travel down the road to compete at the High Point Tournament. The road stint continues with a match at former conference-rival East Tennessee State, before the Mountaineers host the Appalachian Invitational to open up September play Eastern Kentucky, USC Upstate and Valparaiso all make the trek to the High Country for Labor Day weekend. Two more tournaments await the squad, which travels to Akron, Ohio to play in the

Akron Invitational and then wraps up tournament action against a trio of fierce competitors in Chapel Hill, N.C. at the Tar Heel Volleyball Classic. Starting its conference schedule against the Bulldogs, Appalachian hosts eight home league matches, including pivotal contests against divisional foes Chattanooga and Samford in early November. Regular-season play concludes with back-to-back matches at Elon and UNCG and the Southern Conference Tournament returns to Boone for the first time since 2006. Returning to a more traditional format, the top four teams from each division will be a part of the tournament field.

With one of the top incoming classes in the country and four starters returning to the mix, Appalachian has the personnel to compete for both division and conference titles.

OUTSIDE HITTER

Probably the position with the most depth, there is no shortage of talent for ASU at the outside hitter spot. Eight Mountaineers are listed at the position, with senior Lauren Swecker and juniors Kelly Rhein and Maggie Seeds leading the group. Despite graduating offensive force Maja Jechorek who amassed a team-high 313 kills a season ago, both Swecker and Seeds were consistent starters for ASU, and Seeds totaled 205 kills on the season good enough for third on the squad. Sophomores Meghann Forshey and Kelsey Kuehner who both saw ample match action a season ago are expected to contribute at the position newcomers Sophia Palles, Lindsey Sauls and Anna Wagner.

LAUREN SWECKER

SETTER

Junior Kasey Sauls returns as the team’s starting setter and is joined by freshman Lauren Brown. Sauls started in 31 matches a season ago and compiled 1,113 assists. Her valuable passing skills and offensive prowess will be depended upon to help ASU execute its offensive sets. Brown was a prep standout, leading her high school team in Kansas to a 4A state-runner up title in 2007 and two state championships in 2008 and 2009. She holds her high school record in assists having compiled 1, 847 in her career at St. James Academy.

MIDDLE BLOCKER

All eyes will be upon standout senior Caroline Sedon who is one of four middle blockers on the team’s roster. Sedon totaled 157 total blocks in 2009 and currently ranks sixth all-time on ASU’s career block assists list. She also finished tied for 20th in NCAA Division I in blocks per set, averaging 1.33.

caroline sedon Sedon will be joined by two-year letter winner Prescott Lederer. With the graduation of the team’s other starting middle blocker, Becca Norris, Virginia Tech transfer Alison Blasingame and freshman Jessica Eley will also both compete for playing time.

LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

Expectations are high for sophomore Courtney Rhein, who has big shoes to fill at the libero/ defensive specialist spot. Rhein gained valuable playing experience a season ago and had the opportunity to learn from one of Appalachian’s great liberos in Cassie Engelgau. Engelgau closed out her career with ASU in style, finishing second on the program’s all-time dig list. Rhein will anchor the Mountaineers’ defense and will be looked upon for her strong ball control and passing skills. After winning four of its final six games in 2009 and getting a taste of what SoCon Tournament play is like, Appalachian hopes to carry its momentum into 2010 and pick up where it left off. “We are excited to get the 2010 season going,” Ginipro said. “Qualifying for the four-team SoCon Tournament in 2009, was a good way to end last season, but we didn’t achieve our goal of winning a conference championship. Because of that, our team has put in a lot of hard work in the offseason and has devoted a lot of extra hours into getting better individually and as a team. In addition to the work they have done to improve themselves as volleyball players, our players have also worked to create a team culture where focus, discipline, commitment and accountability are priorities. With that mindset and attitude in place, we are looking forward to what will be a very exciting 2010 season.”

2010 Appalachian State Volleyball

Matt Ginipro became the eighth volleyball head coach in Appalachian State University volleyball history on June 2, 2007. After a challenging 2008 season, Ginipro guided the Black and Gold back to dominance, as the Apps propelled to the top of the SoCon North Division in 2009. The Mountaineers earned a 14-17 overall record, including a 10-6 league mark, and reeled off three-straight must-win victories at the end of the regular season to capture one of just four total coveted spots in the conference tournament. The 2009 season was highlighted by a stout 9-3 home record, the most wins in the Holmes Center since 2006 and thrilling victories over previously unbeaten in SoCon play Samford, and division rivals UNCG and Elon. In 2008, the squad posted a 7-25 record, including a 3-15 mark in conference action. The Apps captured impressive wins over Wofford and Western Carolina and lost four SoCon matches by a score of 3-2, with three of those losses coming against SoCon Tournament champion Furman, SoCon North Division champion Samford and SoCon South Division champion College of Charleston. During the 2007 season, Ginipro led the Mountaineers to a 19-14 record and second-place finish in the Southern Conference. He was named the SoCon Coach of the Year for his efforts. Under his guidance, Brittany Zahn was named the SoCon Player of the Year and the program’s second-ever AVCA All-American. The 2007 squad also saw Dianna Thomas become the program’s first Academic All-American. Along with an 11-match winning streak late in the season, Ginipro pushed the team to a 14-4 conference record and an appearance in the Southern Conference Championship semi-final round. The team recorded another milestone with the first Mountaineer win at College of Charleston since the 1999 campaign. His program’s efforts have not gone unnoticed on the recruiting trail either, as the 2010 incoming class was ranked among one of the nation’s best, earning an honorable mention among top recruiting classes in the country from PrepVolleyball.com. ASU was the only conference school to make any of the three lists. Ginipro arrived in Boone with 12 years of collegiate coaching experience under his belt after serving as the first assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Virginia for six years. In March of 2007, he was promoted to associate head coach at UVa. At Virginia, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the Cavaliers’ setters and outside hitters and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. During his six seasons at UVa., the team went a combined 105-82 and posted 19-plus win seasons in his final four years. His 2006 squad finished second in the ACC with a school-record 16 conference wins at 16-6 and posted a 23-8 overall record as Ginipro’s 2007 recruiting class earned Highest Honorable Mention ranking from PrepVolleyball.com. Ginipro joined the Virginia coaching staff in May of 2001 after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Mississippi during the 2000 season. At Mississippi, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the outside hitters and primary passers, as well as serving as the recruiting coordinator. He helped Ole Miss earn one of eight spots in the SEC tournament after the team won only one conference match during the 1999 season. Prior to coaching at Ole Miss, Ginipro spent four years as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech, serving as the first assistant coach for the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons. His duties included coaching the setters, rightside hitters, recruiting and coordinating the team’s offense. Ginipro graduated from Virginia Tech in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in sociology. He earned a master’s in counselor education from Radford in 1996. Ginipro was a member of Virginia Tech’s men’s club volleyball team and served as captain and coach for three seasons. He helped lead the Hokies to the 1992 and 1993 Collegiate Club Championships as the starting setter. A native of Smithtown, N.Y., Ginipro is married to the former Roxanne Furey of Blacksburg, Va. The couple has an 13-year-old daughter, Kirsten Nicole and a nine-year-old son, Nicholas Kyle.

2010 Appalachian State Volleyball Appalachian State University volleyball bounced back after a tough 2008 season, as the Mountaineers doubled their overall wins and more than tripled their conference victories during the 2009 season. The Black and Gold came on especially strong at the end of the campaign, and compiled a 14-17 overall mark, including a 10-6 SoCon record. The league mark was good enough for a second place finish in the North division and one of just four total spots in the Southern Conference Tournament. A rebuilding year of sorts, 2009 got off to a slow start, as the Apps went 1-2 at their first tournament, the Four Points Titan Classic. Despite losing its first two matches, ASU was able to pick up its first victory of the season in the last match of the classic, earning a resounding 3-0 win over Lamar. Early season tournament play continued with the Black and Gold trekking back to the High Country to host the Appalachian Invitational. ASU went 1-2 as the host team, grabbing a strong 3-1 win over Tennessee Tech in the tournament’s final match. The Mountaineers competed in two more tournaments before regular season play got underway. Finally returning to its home court, the Apps welcomed former Southern Conference rival East Tennessee State to its home floor in late September, and were able to earn an exciting 3-2 win. League play opened in earnest on September 26, as Appalachian took to the road and notched a 3-2 victory over a much-improved Citadel squad.

CASSIE ENGELGAU

2009 Season in review

The road proved to be a challenging place to play for ASU, as the Mountaineers were just 3-10 away from Boone. However, the squad took full advantage of its home court, going 9-3 in the Holmes Center, including 7-1 against conference opponents. The 9-3 home record was Appalachian’s best home mark since 2006. After trouncing traditional SoCon North Division power Chattanooga 3-0 in early October, Appalachian turned around the following day and captured its first-ever win over a previously unbeaten in SoCon play Samford team. Having fallen behind 2-1 to the Bulldogs, ASU rallied a comeback behind the stout offensive performance of Maggie Seeds, who totaled 16 kills and five block assists. Teammate Kasey

BECCA NORRIS Sauls was impressive as well, as she recorded 48 assists in the contest. Consistent play continued, thanks in part to strong leadership by seniors Cassie Engelgau, Maja Jechorek and Becca Norris and ASU put itself in postion to qualify for the conference tournament, with just two teams from each divsion earning a spot. In two must-win matches, Appalachian returned to Boone after its grueling road stint to take on UNCG and Elon. Facing a three-point deficit in the fifth set against the Spartans, Appalachian was able to knot the set at 15 all and then score two points to take the nail-biting 17-15 fifth set win and 3-2 match victory. The win avenged a 3-0

loss to UNCG from earlier in the season and put Appalachian just one win

MAJA JECHOREK away from tournament contention. The match victory was a total team effort, as Jechorek posted a phenomenal offensive performance. The senior slammed home 28 kills, putting her at ninth on ASU’s individual match kills list and middle blocker Caroline Sedon tallied seven solo blocks, ranking her at sixth on Appalachian’s individual match list in the category. Jechorek’s offensive dominance continued against Elon, as the Poland native scored four of ASU’s final five points in fifth set action to push the Apps to another 3-2 win and give them its first conference tournament berth since 2007. Having to face defending tournament champion Furman on the Paladin’s home floor in the first match of the 2009 SoCon Tournament proved to be a daunting task. When the two teams met in Boone in October, FU dealt ASU its first and only conference defeat on its home floor. Despite a valiant effort, the Paladins proved to be too much and handed the Mountaineers a 3-0 loss, ending the 2009 season. The program graduated three stellar seniors in Engelgau, Jechorek and Norris. Engelgau made her mark in Appalachian’s record books as she finished fifth on Appalachian’s individual season records digs list with 506 in 2009 and second on ASU’s all-time career digs list with 1,699.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

he Southern Conference, which is in its 90th season of intercollegiate competition in 2010-11, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Membership History n Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership ohn Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters,

launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship History he first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

n the strength of four conference championships (football, cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field) and a division title (basketball), in the Southern Conference’s 10 men’s sports in 2009-10, Appalachian State University cruised to its 30th Commissioner’s Cup, which annually recognizes the league’s best overall men’s athletics program, in 2009-10. ASU brought the Commissioner’s Cup back to Boone for the fifth-consecutive year, 17th time in the last 18 years and 30th time in 33 years since winning the award for the first time in 1977-78. The Mountaineers’ 30 Commissioner’s Cups are by far the most in SoCon history — William & Mary boasts the second-most with five, followed by East Carolina (four) and Chattanooga, East Tennessee State and Furman (one each). On the women’s side, ASU finished fourth in the final standings for the 2009-10 Germann Cup. The Mountaineers’ 73 points were just 14 behind Samford, which won its first Germann Cup in only its second year in the conference. Appalachian has won eight Germann Cups since the award’s inception in 1987, which is the second-most in league history behind only Furman’s 12.

ASU women’s basketball capped off its historic 2009-10 campaign by defeating Memphis and capturing the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational title.

NO. 9 TRACI BLANKENSHIP

Traci Blankenship became the only Mountaineer volleyball player to have her uniform No. 9 retired on November 4, 1985. The recognition is a special one at Appalachian, as Blankenship is one of only five student-athletes in ASU history to have their number retired. A standout player, she garnered all-Southern Conference acclaim all four seasons. She received first-team all-league plaudits her final three campaigns, and was an all-SoCon Tournament selection all four years. Blankenship was named Southern Conference Player-of-the-Year in 1982, 1983 and 1985. She was the Mountaineers’ team MVP as a junior and senior and the Appalachian State Athlete-of-theYear for the 1984-85 academic year. She earned USVBA Regionals Most Valuable Player accolades in 1984.

A fine all-around player Blankenship set school single-season records in digs and service aces. She still ranks among the program’s all-time top 10 in service aces and solo blocks. Her 937 digs in 1985 remains Appalachian’s all-time best in the category. A handful of years beyond her final match, Blankenship’s impressive career continued to collect her plaudits. Following the 1989 season she was named to both the ASU all-Decade team as well as to the Southern Conference all-decade team.

CHARLIE COBB

DEBBIE RICHARDSON

Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Fifth Year

Senior Assoc. AD/Senior Woman Administrator Auburn, 1975 15th Year

n his first five 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 60 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 football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 28 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. Five-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 SoCon. Thirty-five 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 scholarship and facility support for student- athletes, raising over $2.5 million for the first time in 2009-10. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations three years in a row and rasied nearly $2 million more in 2009-10 than it did in any year prior a string of five-straight record years since Cobb’s arrival. Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $13 million in 2010-11.

However, the most notable of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Appalachian the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. Facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’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 luxury suites. The facility enhancements 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 competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated in the last decade. 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 42-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 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 12-year-old son, Harrison, and a nine-year-old daughter, Branan.

2010 Appalachian State Volleyball

FACILITIES Appalachian volleyball enters its eighth season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field programs. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses ASU’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the ASU-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event. The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. In addition to the state-of-the-art amenities that the Holmes Center has to offer, the atmosphere for Appalachian sporting events remains one of the most spirited in the Southern Conference. The Appalachian student section is a priority at the Holmes Center, as student seating is located at mid-court for both volleyball and basketball.

Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation center, as former ASU Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholarship from 1950-57. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations

and the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on ASU’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91. His philanthropy, including establishing Appalachian’s Alumni Memorial Scholarship and a scholarship for students from Wake County, has made it possible for many students to attend college.

The Mountaineers’ locker room in the Holmes Center features a dressing area, dedicated team video room, lounge and computer workstations. It also includes an honor wall, on which all former award winners are represented.

ASU Holmes Center Record

In 2008, ASU volleyball became the firstSouthern Conference school to install. a Sport Court floor used solely for volleyball. The state-of-the-art floor is the official court surface of the 2009 Men’s collegiate volleyball championship, Women’s Division NCAA Division I championship and USA Volleyball.

Varsity Gym Though the Mountaineers compete exclusively in the Holmes Center, the team often practices in the spacious Varsity Gym on campus as well. Five adjacent courts can be set up on the floor to allow for maximum utilization of practice time. In addition to the new SportCourt surface at the HCC, Varsity Gym’s floor also received a facelift in 2008, as a new hardwood surface was installed. The arena is also the practice home for wrestling, men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey and the track and field teams.

The sports medicine staff is bolstered by one of the finest athlete training education programs in the nation. The program has been in existence for more than 25 years, was one of the first NATA approved programs and is accredited by CAATE.

ACADEMIC SERVICES

Academics are the primary reason for attending college, and Appalachian State University is one of the most respected comprehensive institutions of higher learning in the South. The academic environment that surrounds Appalachian is prided on fitting the needs of all students, regardless of background. The student-athletes of ASU who compete on a variety of playing fields take pride in their academic reputation. Through the overall efforts of the Learning Assistance Program, the Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes is coordinated by Jean Roberts. Assistant coordinators Kim Sherill, Pierre Banks and Erin Justice help to guide the office’s efforts for the more than 500 student-athletes who wear the black and gold.

Approximately 35 percent of all student-athletes at ASU made the Southern Conference Honor Roll in the 2007-08 academic year. The people of Appalachian State University are very proud of the academic achievements of their student-athletes and applaud the teamwork of the administration and their relationships with the coaches whose support is pivotal in helping shape athletes’ academic lives. The University’s Learning Assistance Program is a valuable aid to student-athletes at Appalachian. From tutoring, to academic advising and academic monitoring, the program affords the student-athlete the opportunity to excel both on the field and in the classroom.

MOUNTAINEERS IN THE COMMUNITY Like the entire Appalachian State University athletics department, Mountaineer volleyball believes strongly in giving back to the community. The athletic department as a whole has teamed up to participate in several events around the community, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s ‘Celebrity Serve’ which featured studentathletes from 11 of ASU athletic programs volunteered their time to help serve dinner and wait tables at various restaurants around Boone. Other community events that the Mountaineers participate in include the Walk for Awareness, a rally to increase awareness and help eliminate incidents of rape and sexual assault in the Appalachian community. Also, each season the Mountaineers hold a clinic for local Girl Scout Troops. The clinic includes instruction by coaches and players, along with place at Appalachian’s home contest that day. Additionally, ASU players and coaches volunteer their time for a number of other volleyball clinics through-

Educating North Carolina’s Citizens and Leaders

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Since that time, the area has attracted those seeking natural beauty, adventure and learning. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system. The university offers a challenging and stimulating learning experience for nearly 17,000 students. Appalachian combines the best attributes of a small liberal arts college with those of a large, research institution. It is particularly known for its research and outreach in health-related fields and the areas of energy/environment/economics. Distinctively residential, the main campus encompasses 411 acres. It includes 19 academic buildings, 20 residence halls, four dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City. Off-campus programs are offered in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges. The university is characterized by close collaboration between students and faculty, quality academics, and life-changing co-curricular activities that develop graduates with real-world capabilities. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been members of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers won their 30th Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. The award was established in 1979. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles – in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Germann Cup, which recognizes overall women’s excellence, has been won by Appalachian eight times since the award’s inception in 1987. This is the second-most in league history. Since joining the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers have captured league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. Appalachian’s student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the playing field. In the 2009-10 academic year, 69 student-athletes made the Southern Conference’s academic all-conference teams. To be eligible, a student-athlete must possess at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average. One Mountaineer had a 4.0 GPA.

Appalachian Athletics Mission Statement

The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for studentathletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of nondiscrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

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 is a college town in the best sense – where people say hello on the street and a vibrant downtown is mere steps from the university campus. It is 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 eclectic shops bring visitors from all over the world. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as a 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, has brought Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and other notable performers. 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.
