2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL A LOOK AT THE 2012 Season through the eyes of Head Coach Matt GInipro What are your expectations for your team this season? Our annual goal is to win the SoCon Championship, so that doesn’t change. The things we do to achieve that goal this year may be different than last year due to our youth, but that is always what we’ll strive for as we’re in the gym every day. My expectations of the team are to come into the gym every day and work towards that goal together. I think it’s easy to say we’re “rebuilding”, but I refuse to use that phrase. We’re just a different team, but full of talent and one that can make a run at the title. My expectations of the coaching staff, myself included, are to work every day to put us on that path towards a conference title. Gregg and Eli are outstanding coaches and I’m lucky to have them working alongside of me. As we head into preseason, we’ll be doing everything we can to prepare this team for success. You have the task of replacing five seniors who were all key contributors. How will you do that? Quite simply, we can’t. There’s not enough room in this media guide to talk about the impact of last year’s senior class. Kasey and Maggie were my first recruiting class at Appalachian State. Over the four years they were here, they helped change and solidify our team culture. Kelly, Anna and Alison were all amazing additions as transfers. Kelly and Alison transferred from ACC programs and Anna transferred from a team that had just played in their conference championship match the year prior. I think that speaks volumes about how attractive our program is here at Appalachian. From a volleyball standpoint, I’m not worried at all. We’ll be young on the court for sure, but we have some great talent on this year’s roster. The challenge this preseason will be how to quickly develop that talent and then also to find out who our leaders will be. We have two great seniors and three fantastic juniors who will have to shoulder that load. I think a lot of people will be surprised with how much talent we have in our sophomore and freshman classes. We’ll just need them to gain experience as fast as possible.

This year’s schedule is full of some tough competition and a lot of road matches. What’s your take on the schedule in regards to those two things? The string of road trips we have to start off the season is a result of the lack of a home tournament this year. We just struggled getting one together on the one weekend we had available to host. It’s not great that we have so many road matches this year and only nine opportunities for our fans to see us play at home, but it is what it is this year and we just have to play the hand we’re dealt. I’m taking the approach that it’s good for our young team to get out on the road and learn, right away, the rigors of winning away from home. Plus, it gets them competing without the distractions of being at home which I think will make us a better team. As for who we’re playing, I’m excited and I know that team is as well. The SoCon is getting better every year, so to prepare for the best teams in the conference I feel we need to play quality competition during the non-conference season. We’ll be tested in every single match we play this year and, regardless of results, that’s always a good thing as we head into conference play. What will it take to win the SoCon title this season and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament? The SoCon just keeps getting better and better. The level of play in the conference is light years ahead of where it was when I came to Appalachian five years ago and, while I’m sure everyone will call Samford the front-runner, there are a few teams that can win the title this year. In the North Division, I truly believe that all six teams can be in the hunt so we have our work cut out for us. We have to approach every day knowing what our goal is. Half of our roster is new, but we have a ton of talent on this team and every single player came to Appalachian State to win a conference championship. Your teams have been almost unbeatable at home over the past five seasons. What’s the biggest advantage to playing at home? In any sport, home court/field advantage exists and we have a great advantage here in Boone. An old coaching adage is that successful teams are the ones

Courtney Rhein

that win at home and split on the road. If you can do that, you put yourself in a great position for the conference tournament and we’ve been fortunate to handle our business at home. Our players have a huge sense of pride playing at home. Our growing fan base can be loud and rowdy and we’ll be doing some more things this year to get them more involved. We have our own custom Sport Court which our team loves playing on, and is different than any other school in the SoCon. We play in a big arena setting in the Holmes Center which can be hard to get used to. More importantly, we just know that it’s important to take care of the matches we have at home because it’s tough to pick up wins on the road in this league. You and your staff have been able to haul in some really impressive recruiting classes during your time here. What’s been the big selling point for this program? First, I think we as a staff have worked really hard on the recruiting front. We’ve increased our presence across the country and more recruits know who we are. The Michigan football game definitely helped that out for us by putting us in the national spotlight. Recruiting is a grind though and I’ve been extremely lucky to have assistant coaches who are very good at it. Our motto is that if we can get someone to visit, we have a great chance at getting them. Anyone who has come to Boone knows how gorgeous it is and our campus is absolutely beautiful. It’s easy for a recruit to imagine how great of a place Appalachian State is to spend four years of their lives while they’re visiting. However, the biggest selling point at Appalachian State is the people. Our team is one big family and that’s probably the first thing recruits notice when they come to campus. Our players are probably our best recruiters because they exude that family atmosphere to recruits. Plus, as any Appalachian grad would attest, the “Appalachian Family” extends well beyond just our team. Recruits notice how great our student body, our faculty and Boone residents are and want to be a part of that.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL

Matt Ginipro Head Coach Sixth Season Virginia Tech, 1993

Matt Ginipro became the eighth volleyball head coach in Appalachian State University volleyball history on June 2, 2007 and has seen a vast amount of success in his first five seasons in the High Country.

Under Ginipro’s guidance, the 2011 Mountaineer volleyball squad posted an impressive 21-11 record and finished 12-4 in Southern Conference play, good for a second place finish in the SoCon North Division, and advanced to the SoCon semifinals for the third time since 2007. The 21 wins marked the most ever for a Ginipro-coached ASU squad and the team was extremely tough at home, posting an 11-2 record inside the Holmes Center. The season began with a upset of in-state rival NC State at the 2011 Appalachian Invitational. Ginipro’s team finished the year 2-0 against the ACC after picking up a win over Wake Forest later in the year. During the season, the Apps had two players hit significant career marks as Courtney Rhein passed 1,000 digs and Kasey Sauls went over 3,000 assists. At the end of the season, Ginipro saw two of his players, Alison Blasingame and Anna Wagner, earn all-conference honors and saw Maggie Seeds earn Capital One/CoSIDA Academic all-district honors. 2010 was an impressive campaign for Ginipro and the Apps, as the team posted an 18-12 mark. ASU also went 9-7 in the ever-challenging SoCon North Division, good enough for a third place finish. Racing out to an impressive start, the Mountaineers were a perfect 6-0 thtough their first six matches, the best start for the program dating back to 1981. During the 2010 season, ASU was also very strong defensively, as Ginipro oversaw senior middle blocker Caroline Sedon who ranked 15th in the country in blocks per set and Rhein earned second-team all-conference honors, the squad’s first all-conference honoree since 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 both the 2010 and 2011 recuruiting classes were 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, ‘98 and ‘99 seasons. His duties included coaching the setters, right-side 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 two children, Kirsten Nicole and Nicholas Kyle.

Gregg WHITIS

Associate Head Coach First Season • Olivet Nazarene, 1991 Gregg Whitis joined the Appalachian State University volleyball staff as associate head coach in 2012 after spending three seasons at the University of Tennessee, where he helped the Lady Volunteers to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, an overall record of 71-25 and a mark of 46-14 in the always competitive Southeastern Conference.

In addition to his work on the court with the Lady Vols, Whitis served as the team’s recruiting coordinator where he established himself as one of the top talent evaluators and recruiters in the nation. Tennessee’s 2010 recruiting class, regarded as the best in program history, was ranked as the fourth-best class in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com. The Lady Vols’ 2010 recruiting class included three top-50 recruits and helped Tennessee to its first-ever outright SEC championship and a second-round NCAA Tournament appearance during the 2011 campaign. Kelsey Robinson, one of the members of the 2010 recruiting class, was named as the SEC Player of the Year and earned second-team All-America accolades. In 2011, Whitis hauled in the No. 8 recruiting class in the nation as ranked by PrepVolleyball.com, giving the Lady Vols backto-back top-10 classes and the top-ranked class in the SEC for two consecutive seasons. Prior to his arrival in Knoxville, Whitis spent two seasons at the University of Michigan where he helped the Wolverines to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, including the program’s first-ever appearance in the Sweet 16 in 2007 before losing to eventual national champion Penn State. During his final season in Ann Arbor, Whitis helped lead Michigan to a top-10 national ranking as the Wolverines spent every week of the season either ranked or receiving votes in the AVCA Top-25. Prior to coaching in the Big Ten with Michigan, Whitis was highly successful as an assistant coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference with the Clemson Tigers, where he coached for three seasons where he served as recruiting coordinator. In 2007, with a class comprised mainly of Whitis’ former recruits, Clemson capped off the year with a top-25 national ranking and an appeareance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Before his time at Clemson, Whitis served as an assistant coach at Southern Methodist University for two seasons where he coached several all-conference players for the Mustangs. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Indiana State from 1995-97 before taking the head coaching job at Kankakee Community College from 1997-98. Whitis also spent time at South Dakota State, where he helped the Jackrabbits to the 1998 NCAA Division II Tournament. He has also coached at the University of South Carolina and Northern Michigan University. Whitis is a 1991 graduate of Olivet Nazarene University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English education. He played three years of club volleyball and two years of varsity golf for the Tigers.

In addition to his work in the high school ranks, Valentin also served as the head coach for Carolina One Volleyball Club in Greenville, S.C. where he was responsible for teaching all fundamental skills while also planning practices, scheduling matches and scouting opposing teams. Valentin is no stranger to Appalachian State as he has spent the past nine years as a coach at App State’s summer volleyball camps where he has worked with top highschool talent including time as an instructor in the advanced camp/top court sessions. He also has extensive experience outside the volleyball arena as he served for nearly five years as the Director of Hispanic Outreach at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Greenville where he was responsible for creating and maintaining budgets, leading fundraising efforts and supervising all programming staff for the outreach. Valentin also collaborated with numerous community-centered agencies and organizations to spread the mission and objectives of St. Francis’ outreach efforts, including the oversight of the ESL afterschool program. A 2007 graduate of nearby Lees-McRae College, Valentin was a four-year letterwinner for the Bobcat volleyball squad as a libero/setter.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL 2011 Season Review Appalachian State volleyball put together another impressive season on the court during the 2011 campaign. The squad finished with an impressive 21-11 record, its best under head coach Matt Ginipro, and finished 12-4 in the Southern Conference to place second in the SoCon North.

ALISON BLASINGAME In a precursor of what would turn out to be the 15th 20-win season in school history, the Mountaineers opened the season in style with a dominating 3-1 win over NC State at the 2011 Appalachian Invitational. Anna Wagner put together one of the best efforts of her career by finishing with 31 kills against the Wolfpack, the fourth-highest single-match total in Appalachian history. After starting the season 3-1, the Apps would hit several bumps in the road against a number of difficult opponents in earlyseason tournament action before finding their stride in mid-September. Consecutive wins over East Tennessee State and James Madison at the JMU Classic got the Mountaineers back over .500 and marked the start of a five-match winning

Kelly Rhein

streak which also included a victory over Wake Forest at home. Appalachian State continued its hot streak once SoCon play started by going 2-0 on the opening weekend of conference play. A 3-1 loss at Elon would end the winning streak, but did little to slow the Mountaineers’ momentum as they pieced together another impressive five-match winning streak following the defeat. A complete team effort got the Apps back to their winning ways when the team recorded a season-high 12 blocks at UNCG on Oct. 2 to start the streak, which included three-straight 3-0 victories before College of Charleston put a stop to Appalachian’s winning ways on Oct. 21. During each of the five-match winning streaks the Mountaineers won all but two sets, finishing with a 30-4 advantage in set victories between the two runs. Following the loss to the Cougars, the Apps picked up three-straight wins before dropping back-to-back contest to Davidson and Western Carolina, but rebounded to win the final two regular-season contests and wrap up the No. 2 seed out of the SoCon North.

MAGGIE SEEDS The Mountaineers entered the 2012 SoCon Volleyball Championship with high hopes and did not disappoint in the first round by coming away with a 3-2 win over Georgia Southern in the first round. The victory over the Eagles marked Appalachian’s first win in the tournament in five seasons and gave the Apps a measure of revenge after being knocked out of the tournament by Georgia Southern the previous year. Appalachian State would find itself matched against one of the SoCon favorites in the second round as it took on SoCon South champion College of Charleston. After falling behind 1-0 early, the Mountaineers were able to rally for a secondset victory to draw even, but were eventually

ANNA WAGNER turned back by the Cougars despite a valiant effort, which saw the fourth and final set go to extra points before CofC prevailed 3-1. Appalachian finished the season with two all-conference selections in Alison Blasingame (first team) and Anna Wagner (second team). Blasingame finished the season ranked third in the SoCon in blocks (0.99 b/s) and fifth in hitting percentage (.338) while Wagner finished fourth in kills (3.35 k/s) and points (3.71 p/s). The Mountaineers also saw Courtney Rhein earn Defensive Player of the Month honors for October. Both Rhein and Maggie Seeds earned Player of the Week honors during the season while Seeds was named as a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic all-District selection. Several players etched their names into the Appalachian State record books as Rhein ended the year with the third-best singleseason dig total (599) and fourth-best career mark (1,310). Blasingame finished her career with the fifth-best single-season hitting percentage and the fourth-best career mark (.293) while Kasey Sauls ended her career with the fifth-highest assist total (3,304) in Mountaineer history.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

he Southern Conference, which is in its 92nd season of intercollegiate competition in 2012-13, 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 12 (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.

COMMISSIONER JOHN IAMARINO

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.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL

Appalachian State won it’s second-straight SoCon women’s BasketBall title in 2011-12

Appalachian State - The SoCon’s Best

ppalachian State captured its seventh-straight Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup last season for excellence in men’s athletics and also had a strong showing yet again on the women’s side. The Mountaineers, who have claimed the Cup in 20 of the past 21 years, have earned the award a total of 32 times. No other conference school has won the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since its inception in 1969-70 and no current SoCon member besides ASU has claimed it more than once.

T A O

hanks to SoCon championships in three of 10 men’s sports (baseball, men’s outdoor track and field and wrestling), the Apps cruised to the Commissioner’s Cup title by finishing a whopping 27.5 points ahead of second-place Samford (66.5 points). ppalachian’s margin of victory in the Commissioner’s Cup standings marked the largest gap since ASU finished 29 points ahead of East Tennessee State and Furman during the 2002-03 season.

n the women’s side, the race was extremely close as Appalachian finished just three points behind College of Charleston in the Germann Cup standings, awarded for excellence in women’s athletics. The Mountaineers finished with 78.5 points on the women’s side to claim thirdplace behind CofC (81.5) and Samford (80.5). Appalachian picked up SoCon titles in women’s basketball, and women’s indoor and outdoor track & field.

he previous season, for an unprecedented eighth time, Appalachian State University athletics swept the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s and Germann Cups. Appalachian is the only school to ever win both the Commissioner’s Cup (SoCon’s top men’s all-sports program) and Germann Cup (SoCon’s top women’s all-sports program) in the same academic year, a feat it has now accomplished three times in the past seven years and eight times since the inception of the Germann Cup in 1986-87.

n addition to last season, Appalachian also won both the Commissioner’s and Germann Cups in 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1991-92, 2005-06 and 2006-07.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL CHARLIE COBB

DEBBIE RICHARDSON

Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Eighth Year

n his seven 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 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) titles and the first NCAA football championships 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 40 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. Seven-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). Seven of 20 varsity programs (football, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, 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, setting fundraising records each of the past seven years. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations five years in a row. The record $2.72 million raised by the Yosef Club in 2011-12 is over $2 million more than Appalachian State athletics ever raised in any year prior to Cobb’s arrival. Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $14.5 million in 2012-13.

The most visible of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Appalachian State the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. A wave of 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 at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the campaign 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 since the turn of the millenium. 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 44-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. He also serves on numerous NCAA and Southern Conference committees, most notably the NCAA Division I Football committee that he currently chairs. 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 14-year-old son, Harrison, and an 11-year-old daughter, Branan.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE VOLLEYBALL HOLMES CONVOCATION CENTER Appalachian volleyball enters its 12th 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 8,325-seat 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 stateof-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 was a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 92nd district (Surry, Iredell and Yadkin counties).

In 2008, ASU volleyball became the first Southern 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 Men’s collegiate volleyball championship, Women’s Division NCAA Division I championship and USA Volleyball.

He was 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 195057. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and served nearly 16 full terms before his death in 2009. He served 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.

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.

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.
