2011 Appalachian State Field Hockey 2011 Season PReview Appalachian State University field hockey is bringing a lot experience into the 2011 campaign with 14 returning letter-winners, including seven returning starters. The Mountaineers look to improve their 5-14 record and fourth place finish in the Northern Pacific Field Hockey Conference (NorPac) East Division from last season. Brandi Alexander Kist enters her sixth season at the helm as the Mountaineers’ head coach and is hoping to make some noise in the eight-team NorPac Conference. Alexander Kist will rely on the leadership of the six seniors.
Goalkeepers Senior Bridgette Street returns as the Mountaineers top performer between the pipes. The Stillwater, Pa. native led the NorPac with 162 saves and ranked fifth in country with 8.53 saves per game. She earned East Division All-Conference honors and was named East Division defensive player of the week three times. Street is currently fifth all-time with 433 career saves.

Casey Lammando
Defense The backline for Appalachian is anchored by junior Casey Lammando. Last season, the Hummelstown, Pa. native topped the conference with eight defensive saves and was ranked sixth in the nation. Senior Lauren Kloeppinger brings leadership to the Mountaineers’ defensive end. 2011 is Kloeppinger’s second straight season being a team captain. Kloeppinger led the team with five assists and is one of three returners to start every game last fall.

Jessi Stuart, a Middletown, Pa. native, led her team to a state championship as a junior. Gatz and Stuart are accompanied at the forward position by Jordyn Warren, an Allentown, Pa. native. Brooke Angellella, a Manahawkin, N.J. native, will be a scoring threat from the midfield position after a senior year where she netted 14 goals and dished out four assists.

Caitlin Counts
Assistant Coach First Season at Appalachian Appalachian State, 2011 Counts is making her collegiate coaching debut this season, and was a four-year standout for Appalachian State University. Counts started her ASU career as a walk-on and ultimately earned a scholarship. She was named team captain in the spring of her junior year. She started 55 career games, but missed the majority of her senior season due to a seasonending injury. “I felt like there was a lot left I wanted to give to the team, but physically couldn’t. Brandi, Carrie, and this program have given me so much as a player and as a student, and it is a great privilege to be a part of what I am sure will be a successful season,” stated Counts. Counts recorded 18 career points and six goals as a midfielder. Though she is making her collegiate coaching debut this season, Count is no stranger to instruction. She has assisted in the ASU camps for four years and has worked in several high school camps and clinics. In 2009, Counts coached the Northern Virginia U-14 team in the Virginia Commonwealth Games. Counts received a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice this past spring. Count is a native of Alexandria, Va., where she attended Edison High School.

2011 Appalachian State Field Hockey Norpac Conference Founded in 1982, the eight-member NorPac Conference competes at the NCAA Division 1 level in field hockey. At the end of the 2001 season, two NorPac teams were ranked in the NCAA top 20. Entering the 2008 season, the NorPac Conference is comprised of seven teams, Appalachian State, California, Davidson, Longwood, Pacific, Radford and Stanford. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification requirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and hosted the 2008 NorPac Championship Tournament.
In July 2008, the conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member. The Aggies became eligible to compete in a full conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament, in 2009-10. In 2011, all eight institutions will compete in the NorPac Conference Championship Tournament at Stanford. The NorPac Tournament Champion will advance to an NCAA play-in game against the winner of the America East Conference, with the winner advancing to the NCAA tournament.

2011 Appalachian State 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 student-athletes 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 133 studentathletes on the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NHFCA) academic squad, including a record-tying 15 in 2008. And to be eligible for the squad, a student athlete must have a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2008, ‘09, and ‘10 squads were also honored with an NFHCA team award, in recognition of the team’s overall GPA above 3.0. Appalachian State University field hockey was honored in 2010 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 team’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.

2011 Appalachian State Field Hockey Dr. jan Watson 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.
ASU placed 57 players on the Deep South All-Star team during Watson’s tenure.
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 win-loss 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”.

2011 Appalachian State Field Hockey Director of athletics Charlie Cobb
I
n his first six 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 72 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. • Three 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 $14.5 million in 2011-12. 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 120,000square-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. Cobb’s peers recognized him for his efforts when the National Collegiate Athletics Directors Association (NACDA) named him the NCAA Division I FCS Southeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in 2011. 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 studentathlete 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 13-year-old son, Harrison, and a ten-year-old daughter, Branan.

BOONE
NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. 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.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately 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. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, 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. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life — that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

WHAT’S VISIBLE FROM KIDD BREWER STADIUM… State’s Largest Wind Turbine This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the campus utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard’s Knob Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots. Rich Mountain One of 20 North Carolina mountains bearing this name, the Watauga County ridge extends northwest from Boone. It is named for its unusually fertile though rugged slopes.
