Appalachian State University athletics announced a partnership with High Country ADventures that will bring full coverage of Appalachian women’s basketball to WATA 1450 AM and 100.7 MAC FM for 2009-10. For a second straight season, ASU women’s basketball games will be carried locally on WATA . In the event of a conflict with the station’s coverage of Mountaineer men’s basketball, the High Country broadcast of the women’s basketball game will move to MAC FM. Each women’s basketball broadcast will begin with a 30-minute pregame show and conclude with a 15-minute postgame wrapup on www.GoASU.com. Each ASN broadcast begins with Mountaineer Gameday hitting the airwaves 30 minutes prior to each Appalachian State game. This fast-paced pregame report includes highlights from previous contests, player interviews and an in-depth talk with Mountaineer head coach Darcie Vincent. Following the game, the Skybest Locker Room Report will recap the game with scores from around the nation, interviews with the players and coaches, plus a look ahead to future action. Appalachian sports updates can be heard daily via ASN’s “Around the Mountain,” hosted by David Jackson airing on ASN affiliates WATA, WBLO, WKBC, WODY, WPWT, WTOE, and WZGM. Appalachian State senior Ran Northam will call the action for the second straight season and will be joined by former-ASU women’s basketball standouts Carol Almond and Brittany Mixon. Northam hails from Machipongo, Va. and is majoring in communications with a concentration in electronic media broadcasting. In addition to his role as play-by-play voice for women’s basketball, the senior also calls ASU men’s soccer, volleyball and softball for GoASU TV.
Ran Northam Play-By-Play
Brittany Mixon Analyst
Mixon closed out her career with the Mountaineers in 2009, after an impressive four-year stint. During her time with the Apps, the Florida native picked up SoCon Sports Media Association second team honors and earned second team-all Tournament recognition during her senior year. She also finished her career as the school record holder for most blocks in a season with 62 and 18th on Appalachian’s career rebounding list.
Carol Almond Analyst
In addition to all games broadcast on WATA, live audio and video web stream is also available for every home game throughout the 2009-10 season via GoASU TV on GoASU.com.
GoASU TV is in its third year of providing live and on demand sporting events and exclusive news updates and interviews for viewers across the world.

It is never easy to change the culture of a program but second year head women’s basketball coach Darcie Vincent is up for the task. Vincent and the new-look Mountaineers are ready to climb to the top of the Southern Conference and return the program to regional and national prominence. Talent and youth is theme of the Appalachian squad that is returning just one senior and two juniors from 2008-09. Although the roster may appear to lack depth, plenty of players have experience, as four starters return to the mix along with four other letter winners. The Mountaineers look to improve upon their 9-22 overall mark and 7-13 conference record from the 2008-09 campaign.

Fresh faces will be prevalent on the ASU bench, as Vincent has hired three coaches with a well-spring of basketball knowledge to build upon the squad’s 2008-09 success. Associate head coach Heather Kearney, recruiting coordinator Andrea Gross and assistant coach Kiesha Mack all joined Appalachian in the spring of 2009. The trio post an impressive resume between them and possess the coaching attributes to help turn Appalachian back into a championship caliber program. Kearney served as the head coach at the University of California-Pennsylvania for one year after Vincent left to join the Apps. In her lone year at helm, she led the Vulcans to an NCAA Elite Eight appearance, along with a final national ranking of No.4 in the country. She was also honored as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Coach of the Year. Kearney and Vincent have much history, as Kearney served as the associate head coach under Vincent at Cal and played for Vincent at Slippery Rock from 1995-1999. Gross brings a vast amount of experience to the program, as the recruiting coordinator. She has served coaching stints at Colgate, Longwood and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. She was also a graduate assistant at Cal when the Vulcans captured the 2004 Division II national championship. Gross was a four-year letterwinner at William and Mary and was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 1999. Mack rounds out the impressive coaching staff as she comes to Appalachian after a successful playing career at West Chester University and serving as an assistant coach for one year at East Stroudsburg.
Vincent coached against Mack at WestChester, and while playing there, Mack was named PSAC East Rookie of the Year, 2nd team all-PSAC and PSAC East Player of the Year twice.
Guards The Black and Gold has no shortage of talent or depth at the guard spot, especially with the return of two starters from a season ago in Sam Ramirez and Brittney Spencer. Ramirez posted a breakout 2008-09 season, as the Fayetteville, N.C. native led the Southern Conference with 136 assists on the season, averaging 4.4 per game. She also finished first in assist-turnover ratio and tied for seventh in steals. She posted 16 games in double-figures scoring and notched her lone double-double
SAM RAMIREZ of the season at home against UNCG , when she scored 16 points and hauled in a careerhigh 10 rebounds. In perhaps her best outing of the 2008-09 campaign, Ramirez scored 17 second-half points to help the Apps erase a 16- point second half deficit to earn a three point win over Furman in the first round of the 2009 Southern Conference Tournament. The win was Appalachian’s first postseason victory since 2007. She also made a team-high 41 three pointers last season and was both a consistent performer and team leader on and off the court. “As one of three upperclassmen, Sam has accepted a leadership position and we expect great things from her this season,” Vincent said. “Last year, she had to take on a lot of different roles and this season, that pressure will be lifted as she can concentrate
8
on being a pure shooting guard.” To complement Ramirez, junior Brittney Spencer is another guard that factors into the equation. Spencer ran the point for the Black and Gold a season ago and finished 10th in the league in assists with 92, averaging three per game. Offensively, the Virginia native had 11 contests in double-figures scoring, pouring in a career-high 20 points in the Apps 68-59 defeat of Georgia Southern in the regular season finale. Spencer nabbed her first-ever SoCon Player of the Week honors for her standout performance against the Eagles. In a category that ASU could stand to improve upon, Spencer was looked upon as leader, as she went a team-best .763 from the charity stripe. Her consistency helped ASU seal wins at the end of contests. “We are looking for big results from Spencer on the court this season” Vincent said. “Last season, she showed she can shoot the perimeter ball and get to the rim. She is continuing to hone her skills and we look for her strong play throughout the season.” The talent is even deeper at the guard spot with sophomore Sade’ Means set to be an even bigger contributor this season. Means came off the bench for Appalachian last year and made an immediate impact, as she possesses the intangible hustle factor that proved to be vital to the Black and Gold’s success. Against SoCon foes, she averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 boards per contest, while also recording nine blocks and 28 steals. For her impressive play, Means nabbed all-freshman team honors from the league’s coaches. “We are expecting a lot out of Sade’, as she now knows the pace and physicalness of col lege basketball. She is one of our more tale-
BRITTNEY SPENCER
SADE’ MEANS
Guards/Forwards This versatile position starts with sophomore standout Canesha Edwards. An absolute force on the boards and a defensive stalwart for the Black and Gold, Edwards finished first on the team in rebounds with 233 last season, averaging 7.5 per game. The scholar-athlete hauled in a career-best 17 boards against Furman on December 20, 2008 and finished fifth in the SoCon and first among all freshman in the category. She was also seventh in the country for freshman in rebounding. Her rebounding forte’ was on the defensive end, where she grabbed 157 of her boards. Posting a dual defensive and offensive threat, Edwards tallied seven contests in double-figures scoring, with her best showing coming in an 18- point outing in Appalachian’s win over UNCG. The sophomore picked up SoCon coaches all-freshman team honors for her solid play throughout the season.
Mixon had five games where she scored 20-plus points, posted 23 games in doublefigures scoring and had nine double-doubles a season ago. She also was counted on defensively, as she swatted 62 blocks to break ASU’s single season block record and was second on the team in rebounding. Although the shoes may seem too big to fill, all eyes will be on sophomore Catherine Williams to get the job done. Williams began her freshman year with a bang, recording seven blocks in the Apps fourth game of the year against Alabama A&M, tying the single game school record in blocks. She also hauled in a career-high 14 rebounds in the contest. Williams saw action in 28 games, starting 10, and returns as the squads leader in field goal percentage with a .527 season average. “Cat is another tremendous athletic player with surprising strength at the low-post position,” Vincent said. “ Her experience as a freshman combining with her talent and improvement from last season, there is no reason she shouldn’ t be one of the best posts in the SoCon.” The other returner at the position for the Black and Gold is fellow sophomore Haley Hackett. A strong presence under the basket, Hackett played in 14 games before her season came to a halt due to a season-ending knee injury against Gardner-Webb. On the offensive front, she chipped in scoring in 9-of-14 games. “Getting Haley back on the court has been the main goal,” Vincent said. “We look to her to focus on controlling the boards and playing tough defense this season.”
Introduction
nted players at getting to the rim and that will will cause a lot of match-up problems for our opponents,” Vincent said. The three guards are joined by one newcomer in Kansas transfer Chakeitha Weldon, who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. Weldon saw action in 10 games with the Jayhawks before her sophomore season was cut short due to a knee injury. “Entering her first season with the team in a playing capacity, we are looking forward to seeing her in action. Chakeitha has a real physical strength and uncanny ability to see the entire floor. She thrives off of transition and defense and as a coach, I could not ask for anything more.”
“Canesha is one of the best athletes I have ever coached, Vincent said. “Her aggressive play, especially on the boards makes her a huge asset. “ Sophomore Charmene Means will also be a factor at the three position, as Means was an instrumental part in ASU’s first SoCon win of the 2008-09 season. Against Elon, Means scored a season-high 10 points and brought in five rebounds. Simliar to twin-sister Sade’, Means is a very hard-worker and a strong team leader on both the bench and the hardwood. “Like last season, we will look to Charmene to give us that boost needed on the defensive end of the court,” Vincent said. “We also look to her to strengthen our team in transition and give us the much needed easy points.” Freshman Courtney Freeman will also compete for playing time at the guard/ forward spot. The McDonald’s all-America
CANESHA EDWARDS nominee is extremely athletic and was a 1,000-plus point performer at Madison County High School in Danielsville, Ga. “Courtney is one of our more physical players”, Vincent said. “A former standout at the post position in high school, she dominates opposing guards and has a nice perimeter game which will produce good things for us this season.”
Forwards/Center Replacing the team’s top scorer from 2008-09, in Brittany Mixon, will be the main challenge at the forward position for ASU. Mixon is the lone starter that the Apps lost, but her play was vital to the team’s offense and defense a season ago.

CATHERINE WILLIAMS
Senior Karina Mill was expected to contribute as well this season, but her role will change, as the biology major suffered a
“Kelsey will get inside and go at it with the best of them”, Vincent said. “She has good size for the small forward position and is one of our most consisent three- point shooters. She really understands the game of basketball and plays with a ton of energy.”

season-ending knee injury over the summer, which limits her contributions to leadership and encouragement from the sidelines. “Karina continues to be an off-the-court leader for us. She excels in the classroom and will be looked upon to provide the team with senior leadership this season,” Vincent said. Williams and Hackett are accompanied by a plethora of freshmen who all hold impressive high school credentials. Newcomers Ashlen Dewart, Anna Freeman and Kelsey Sharkey will all be called upon to help fill the void at the post position. Dewart is an all-state performer from South Carolina who was also named a North Carolina-South Carolina all-star. Basektball runs in the family for the freshman, as her sister, Bailey, plays for SoCon rival Chattanooga. “Ashlen is a true low post presence,” Vincent said. “She has great footwork and can shoot from three point range. She will be a very difficult match-up for many teams and will be a go-to player for us this season.” Freeman was the three-time conference player of the year at East Davidson High School, along with earning Davidson County Female Athlete of the Year honors. Capping off the stout incoming class is Sharkey, who nabbed all-city honorablemention honors and was a high school scholar-athlete at Saint Ursula Academy in Cincinatti, Ohio. “Anna is our most talented all-around player,” Vincent said. “She excels at all areas of the game and is another freshman who comes from a great high school program and basketball-rich family.”
The Mountaineers have their work cut out for them with a tough schedule set for the upcoming campaign. The season opens with a trip to Appalachian’s former SoCon rival Marshall on November 13. The Apps will be looking for revenge, as the Thundering Herd handed ASU a two-point defeat in last years season-opener. After the brief road-stint, the Mountaineers return to the comfy confines of the Holmes Center for their home opener against Charlotte. The two teams have not faced each other since 2005. Appalachian’s homestand is quick-lived as
a three-game road swing begins on November 24 with a game at Gardner-Webb and then a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa. for Thanksgiving weekend to compete in the Pittsburgh Tournament. The Black and Gold’s grueling SoCon slate begins in earnest on December 2, as the Apps host Georgia Southern. The schedule is not any easier for ASU who heads to Davidson to face the Wildcats on December 7. A two game homestand awaits the Apps on their arrival home, with contests against East Tennessee State and Furman, before heading up north to take on five-time defending Mid-American Conference champion and 2009 WNIT participant Bowling Green. The new year starts with a bang, as ASU hosts Elon on January 2, before traveling to
10
Cullowhee, N.C. to play Western Carolina, the 2009 SoCon Tournament champions. The Black and Gold then return home for three games in six days, as the Apps face Richmond for the first time since 2006 on January 6, then play SoCon regular-season champion Chattanooga on January 9 and cap off the tough homestand with a contest against top-tier SoCon competitor Samford on the 11th. The latter part of the schedule consists of trips to Greensboro, N.C. and Charleston, S.C. along with five more home matches, starting January 23 with a game against Davidson, and then the regular season home-finale against the College of Charleston on February 22. ASU’s final regular season game of the 2009-10 campaign is on February 27 at Georgia Southern. The Apps final regular-season game of the 2009-10 campaign is on February 27 at Georgia Southern. With a change in location, ASU heads to Charlotte, N.C. for the 2009-10 Southern Conference Tournament, which takes place March 4-8. Vincent has much anticipation for the upcoming campaign. “We are excited and anxious to get the 2009-10 season underway. As a program, we are looking forward to facing tough opponents in both conference and nonconference action. The early non-conference contests will test our young squad and really force us to play together. As always, the SoCon schedule is tough, but with a great new rejuvinated group of young women, we look forward to seeing what we can accomplish during league play and compete for a 2010 Southern Conference championship.”

In her first season at helm, head Coach Darcie Vincent helped Appalachian State University women’s basketball post more overall and more Southern Conference wins than the previous season and coached the Mountaineers to the Southern Conference quarterfinals for the first time since 2006-07. With just one senior and one junior on the 2008-09 squad, the Mountaineers relied heavily on underclassmen, with two sophomores and two freshmen consistently rounding out the lineup. The impressive freshmen performances began in the first game of the year, as Canesha Edwards and Sade Means both posted breakout games against Marshall. Despite the Apps dropping a close contest, falling 67-65, Means scored a gamehigh 17 points and Edwards chipped in 11 points along with 10 rebounds. Edwards finished the season averaging a teambest 7.5 boards per game, with a total of 233. The Newnan, Ga. native also capped off the season ranked seventh among freshman rebounders in the country. Means paced the freshmen class on the offensive front, averaging a newcomer-best seven points per game, scoring a total of 217 points on the season. For their consistent strong showings throughout the campaign, both Edwards and Means were named to the SoCon Coaches all-Freshman team. The Mountaineers captured their first win of the season on November 24, defeating Alabama A&M 65-52 in the Holmes Center. Sophomore guard Frances Hernandez paced Appalachian offensively in the contest, scoring what was then a career-high 26 points. Catherine Williams led the way on the defensive end, as the freshman hauled in 14 rebounds and seven blocks, tying a single-game blocks record. Williams played in 28 games, starting ten of them and was a solid post threat for Appalachian. She finished the season with 118 points, 96 boards and 23 steals. Karina Mill came on strong early for ASU and was a consistent presence for the Black and Gold during the season. The lone junior came into the 2008-09 season with just four career points, but showed great strides early on, posting a careerhigh eight points against East Tennessee State, while playing in a total of 27 contests and scoring

55 points during the season. With six of the next eight contests on the road, including a trip to the nation’s capital to play Georgetown and George Mason, the schedule proved to be a challenge for the Apps who were unable to notch a win in any of the slated contests. During the early portion of the season freshman Haley Hackett made a name for herself, as she became a consistent low post threat for ASU. Hackett made her first career start against Western Carolina and contributed on the offensive end, chipping in five points on four different occasions, before her season was cut short, due to a season ending knee injury suffered against Gardner Webb. The new year proved to be good for ASU who earned its first SoCon win of the season on January 6 against Elon. Despite being down at halftime, Appalachian outscored Elon in the second half by six points to earn a 63-59 win over the Phoenix at Alumni Gym. Senior Brittany Mixon stepped up her game, as she recorded a career-high 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Two other Mountaineers scored in double-figures as well, with Sam Ramirez scoring 14 points and Charmene Means adding 10. Means saw action in 28 games for the Black and Gold. The senior would continue with her impressive performances during the course of the season, as she scored in double-figures in 23- of- 31 games and led the team in scoring on 11 different occasions, along with recording nine double-doubles on the season. Finishing her four-year stint with ASU in style, Mixon had all five of her 20-plus point career scoring outings as a senior. She also recorded at least one assist in 16 games, at least one steal in 20 contests and at least one block in 23-of-31 games. The Florida native closed out her career with 107 blocks, third on the all-time list, and broke the single season school record in blocks, swatting 62 on the season. In 2008-09 she set career highs in points (25) against Elon, assists (3) against Western Carolina and Furman, steals (5) against Georgia Southern and blocks (6) against East Tennessee State.For her efforts, she earned her first-ever postseason honors, as she was named to the Southern Conference Sports Media Association second team all-conference and second team all-SoCon Tournament. The Apps picked up another strong win on January 12, beating UNC Greensboro 73-68 in front of a record crowd of 1573 at the Holmes Center. Edwards came up big for the Mountaineers once again, scoring a career-high 18 points and recording her third double-double of the season, hauling in 11 rebounds. Sam Ramirez was the Apps’ second-leading scorer, chipping in 16 points and grabbing a career-high 10 boards. Ramirez had a stellar sophomore season for the Black and Gold, as the guard finished first in the SoCon with 136 assists on the season, averaging 4.4 per contest. She also ranked first in assist- turnover ratio, seventh in steals and scored in doublefigures 16 times. Appalachian’s most impressive victory of the season came at Davidson, when the Apps handily ran past the Wildcats on January 24, beating DC 77-57. Led by Frances Hernandez’ career-high 27 points, including 21 in the first half, the Mountain-

For her performance, Hernandez was named SoCon Player of the Week. ASU’s SoCon winning streak continued with notable victories over Furman and Wofford. In the final stretch of the season, ASU dropped a heart-breaker to tournament runner-up College of Charleston. The Apps led by two points with under thirty seconds to play but a last second three pointer sunk the Black and Gold who ended up falling 57-55. Appalachian broke its four game losing streak, as the squad closed out its season on a strong note with a 68-59 win over Georgia Southern in the regular season finale. Sophomore guard Brittney Spencer had an outstanding performance, recording a career-high 20 points to go along with four assists, helping ASU snap a four-game losing streak to the Eagles, which dated back to the 200607 season. Spencer’s play continued to improve throughout the season, as the guard averaged three assists per game and recorded 92 on the season, putting her at 10th in the SoCon. She had at least one assist in 30-of-31 contests with a career-high eight coming against Davidson. She followed up that performance with seven at Elon and six against UNCG, Davidson, Furman and Chattanooga. For her strong showing against Georgia Southern, Spencer picked up her first ever award, as she was named the Southern Conference Player of the Week. The Mountaineers carried their momentum into the Southern Conference Tournament, capturing a win in the first round of play, sneaking past Furman in a 63-60 victory. Although the Black and Gold trailed by 14 at the break, a furious secondhalf rally, led by Ramirez’s 17 and Mixon’s 12 second half points, propelled ASU to a thrilling win. The Apps’ season came to a halt the following day as top-seeded Chattanooga proved to be too much for ASU, earning an 86-53 win over the Black and Gold, in the SoCon quarterfinals. The Apps finished the 2008-09 campaign with a 9-22 record overall, including a 7-13 mark in SoCon play.

Appalachian shot a decent 44 percent from the field and 53 percent from downtown but was unable to overcome 20 offensive boards by Marshall. Catherine Williams scored the first points for the season to give the Mountaineers (0-1) a 2-0 lead 90 seconds into the game. Sophomore Brittney Spencer handled a majority of the ASU scoring over the next seven minutes with nine points. The guard helped spark a 9-0 run as ASU overcame a 14-9 deficit to take an 18-14 lead 12 minutes into the half. Spencer finished the night with a career-high nine points and added two rebounds and an assist. Williams battled foul trouble early on in her debut and finished the game with four points on 2-of-2 shooting and a rebound in nine minutes on the court. The teams went back and forth for the remainder of the half as ASU led by as many as eight points in the half after Means knocked down her second trey of the game to make it 31-23. The Mountaineers took a 31-25 advantage into the locker room. In addition to her 17 points, Means pulled down six rebounds and added a block and an assist to go along with 7-for-10 shooting on the night. She sank all three attempts from beyond the arc. Frances Hernandez came on strong out of the intermission with a three-pointer with an assist from Sam Ramirez. Marshall (1-0) pulled within two points at 38-36 but Means responded with seven of Appalachian’s next 13 poins to help establish a six-point advantage at 47-41 seven points into the second half. Hernandez sank four of her seven attempts from downtown and dished out a pair of assists and closed out the night with 13 points. Ramirez handed out a career high 10 assists to go along with four points and four boards. Her 10 assists were the most by a Mountaineer since Whitney Tossie had 10 against Georgetown in November 2006. The Thundering Herd methodically crept back within one point at 60-59 as three minutes remained in regulation and tied the game with 1:05 to play, 64-64. The visitors then stole the ball back and took a lead on a free throw with 30 seconds to play. Means had a shot blocked with 10 seconds to go and Canesha Edwards leapt the highest out of the pile to grab the offensive rebound but was called for traveling as she came down with the ball. Edwards led the team with 10 rebounds in the game. The freshman completed the double-double with 11 points, five of which came from the free throw line. She also led the team with five of ASU’s nine steals in the game. After the Herd cushioned the lead with a pair of free throws as the clock struck :05, Ramirez got the ball up to Hernandez in the corner for a last chance trey to tie. Hernandez was fouled on her attempt and was awarded three shots from the foul line with just four-tenths of a second remaining.
Sam Ramirez led the team with 17 points and the Mountaineers (0-2) owned the boards with a 53-35 advantage on the glass in the game, led by Canesha Edwards with 16. After missing two of their first three, the Mountaineers connected on each of their next four shots to take a 12-11 lead. Ramirez had seven of the team’s first 15 points, as the score went back and forth for the first 10 minutes of the game. Ramirez shot 8-for-14 from the floor and added eight rebounds and five assists for the night.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Sadé Means scored nine points and pulled down 10 rebounds but Appalachian State University women’s basketball struggled with turnovers and field goal shooting as Wake Forest dealt the Mountaineers a 68-35 at the Joel Memorial Coliseum Annex. Means connected on 4 of her 12 shots on the night and sank 1-of-3 free throws to lead the Mountaineer offense. She swatted a block and snagged a steal but accounted for 10 of ASU’s season-high 38 turnovers. The Apps hit just three of their first 10 shots to fall into a 14-10 hole early on, before the Demon Deacons took off on a 16-4 run before both teams settled down late in the half as ASU made up a little ground to take a 33-18 deficit at halftime. ASU scored nine second-chance points and finished with 12 in the game.
ECU (2-0) started feeding the ball into the post to take a 26-21 lead before the Apps picked the pace of the game. The Apps immediately took off on a 9-2 run to regain the lead, 28-26. The score stayed close as the teams traded the lead back and forth for the rest of the half as ECU took a 36-34 advantage into the locker room.
Appalachian (0-3) turned the ball over 17 times in the first half, which led to 13 Demon Deacon points. Neither team shot particularly well in the opening 20 minutes, as ASU hit just 7-of-24 shots for 29 percent while WFU hit 39 percent of its shots. The Apps did have one bright spot in the half with a 21-19 edge in rebounding.
Appalachian won the battle on the boards in the first 20 minutes with 16 offensive and 33 total rebounds compared to just 16 total for the Pirates.
Along with Means, Sam Ramirez and Brittney Spencer scored four points each in the first half to lead the team. Ramirez was held scoreless in the second half but totaled four rebounds and two assists while leading the team with three steals. Spencer tallied six points in the game on 3-for-6 six shooting with three rebounds.
To open the second half, Frances Hernandez nailed a three-pointer to give ASU the lead and then converted a rare four-point play to extend the lead to 45-40 three minutes into the half. ECU battled back to take a 67-64 lead with five minutes to play. Seven points from Brittney Spencer and a Ramirez bucket pulled ASU within one at 69-68 with just over four minutes to play, however, and another trey from Hernandez tied the score at 71 with 2:52 remaining.
Freshman Canesha Edwards came back down to earth after starting her career with a pair of double-doubles. The Newnan, Ga. native was still active on the glass with eight rebounds but scored just two points on 1-of-5 shooting in 27 minutes.
Spencer turned in another career performance while running the point, with 16 points and three assists. Hernandez chipped in 15 points and a game-high seven assists on the night. She has made four three-pointers in each of the two games this season.
Wake Forest (2-0) came out firing after the intermission and scored five points within the next 45 seconds and scored the first 11 points of the half. Nearly five minutes elapsed before the Apps got on the board, as Frances Hernandez knocked down the team’s only three-pointer of the game to cut the score to 44-21.
The Apps never completed the comeback in the final moments of the game and a LaCoya Terry jumper with 34 seconds remaining put the Pirates up by five points, which proved to be the final margin in the 80-75 loss. Terry led ECU with 34 points on 13-of-20 shooting.
Hernandez finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals. Catherine Williams pulled down a career-best five rebounds and added one point.
Edwards made her first career start in the game and had another solid performance with 15 points, 16 rebounds and two of ASU’s six steals. Her 16 boards were the most since Brittany Mixon pulled down 16 last January. Her doubledouble was the second in as many games this season. The Apps shot 38 percent from the floor on 13-of-30 shooting and converted 10of-12 from the free throw line for an 83 percent clip. ECU led Appalachian 20-2 in fast-break points and 24-8 in points off the bench. Haley Hackett scored five and Sadé Means added three points off the bench for the Mountaineers.
The first shot rimmed out before the sophomore sank the second to pull within 67-65. Hernandez intentionally missed the third shot but the deflection fell towards the baseline as time expired.

Surprisingly, the 35 points were the most allowed by the Demon Deacons this season, as they held UNC Greensboro to just 27 in the season opener. The last time Appalachian failed to score 40 points was 2005-06, when ASU was held to 38 by Chattanooga.

Appalachian (1-8, 0-3 SoCon) shot 41 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes and connected on 7-of-10 free throws. The Paladins connected on 46 percent of shots and 7-of-12 from the charity stripe.
BOONE, N.C. - Brittany Mixon scored a career-high 24 points while two guards matched their career bests, but it was not enough as Appalachian State fell to Davidson 95-75 in its home SoCon opener. Brittany Spencer scored Appalachian’s (1-6, 0-2 SoCon) first six points of the game as the teams found themselves knotted up 6-6 after five minutes. The ‘Cats missed their first five shots of the game and shot just 35 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes. Spencer went on to tie her career best with 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and came just two assists shy of a double-double. The sophomore point guard added five rebounds and two steals as she became the first Mountaineer to play all 40 minutes in a game this season. The teams stayed nearly even throughout most of the first half, until Davidson (3-5, 2-0) created some separation with a 6-0 run to earn a 29-22 lead. ASU battled back to get within two points at 31-29 and 35-33 but DC’s Alex Thompson drained a long three-pointer as the buzzer expired to give the visitors a 38-33 edge at the break. Thompson scored a career high 35 points and broke a Davidson school record with nine three-pointers as the Wildcats sank 13 threes in the game. The 13 treys allowed ties the most in a game by an ASU opponent. The Apps shot 48 percent from the floor in the first half, led by 5-of-7 shooting from Spencer. A by-product of the high shooting percentage was that ASU boarded just three offensive rebounds in the first 20 minutes, but held a 21-20 advantage in overall rebounds. In the second half, the Wildcats struck first with another trey before Spencer sank a jumper one minute in. DC then opened up the game to 48-37 before Sam Ramirez sank her second field goal of the game. ASU pulled back within 48-41 with a Mixon putback four minutes into the period. Ramirez tied a career high of her own in points with 19 on 8-of-15 shooting with a pair of treys. She added four assists and three rebounds off the bench. ASU shot 44 percent from the floor in the game hit just 2-of-11 from downtown in the game. ASU converted 9-of-14 from the charity stripe, compared to 24-of-33 for the Willdcats. Davidson collected 13 of its 29 field goals from beyond the arc and finished the game at 47 percent. The Wildcats then took advantage of offensive opportunities over the next several minutes to push the lead to 61-47. Mixon took over the game for Appalachian at that point with six-straight points to close the gap to 65-53. That was the most the Mountaineers challenged for the remainder of the afternoon, as Davidson pulled ahead by as many as 24 before ASU fired back to make the final margin 20 points at 95-75. Canesha Edwards posted nine points and nine rebounds as the starting small forward while junior Karina Mill made her first career start and scored five points with two blocks in 29 minutes.
Spencer connected on 2-of-6 shots for the night for four points to go along with four assists and a team-high four steals. From there, the Shockers (5-2) took off on a 6-0 run and extended the lead to 16-9 before Spencer and Frances Hernandez pulled the Apps back to a threepoint deficit two times at 13-16 and 15-18. Unfortunately, six points from Marisah Henderson helped WSU to a 26-15 advantage 15 minutes into the first half. From there the teams traded buckets to end the half, as Wichita State took a 30-21 advantage into the locker room. The Mountaineers (1-7) shot 29 percent (9-of-31) in the opening 20 minutes compared to 40 percent for the Shockers. The biggest difference came at the free-throw line, however, as WSU made it to the line 15 times for 10 points compared to a 3-of-4 mark for ASU. Sam Ramirez led the team with five assists and four steals to go along with seven rebounds. WSU came out firing in the second half, connecting on each of its first three attempts from the floor and pushing the lead to 42-21 over a four-minute span. The Apps missed their first seven shots of the half before Canesha Edwards sank a jumper in the paint. Sadé Means then hit two free throws and a jumper to bring the score to 44-27. Edwards led the team with 11 rebounds and added six points. The freshman also had an assist but was sidelined a bit with four fouls. Karina Mill started her second-straight game and fouled out in 12 minutes of play with one assist. Means scored 13 points on five field goals and added seven rebounds and a pair of steals. Appalachian cut the lead to 14 points with six minutes to play but would not challenge any further as the Shockers pulled away for the 63-46 final. The Apps made 9-of-31 from the field and 10-of-15 from the free throw line. It was the first time since last February that the Mountaineers did not record a three-pointer. WSU shot 44 percent from the field and knocked in 16-of-26 free throws. ASU turned the ball over 32 times compared to 25 for the Shockers.

In addition to her 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Ramirez pulled in five rebounds and led the team with four steals. Spencer scored five points in 19 minutes on the day while Mill scored seven points with eight rebounds. She collected three of the team’s 13 steals as well. Canesha Edwards had one of her most impressive performances of the season with nine first-half rebounds to lead all players. She finished the game with a career-high 17 boards to go along with six points, three steals and an assist. The biggest reasons for the 43-33 Furman (5-5, 1-2) halftime advantage were a 12-8 offensive rebound advantage and 14 turnovers forced compared to eight for ASU in the opening 20 minutes. The second half was a different story on the boards as the Apps finished the game with 51 total rebounds and 27 on the offensive glass. Ramirez continued her run when the second half opened as she knocked down her first attempt to cut the lead to eight points. From there, the barrage of threepointers began, as Kali Holtfreter and Melissa Liebschwager drained two each early in the period to help increase the lead to 60-42 with 12 minutes remaining. The two FU players led the team with a combined 39 points. Means and Ramirez then converted fast-break opportunities to ignite a run as Means scored the next seven points for the Apps to chip away at the lead to bring it to 66-53 with just under eight minutes remaining. Means set career highs with nine points and six rebounds - five on the offensive end - in the game. The freshman also accounted for two of ASU’s four blocks. Edwards got a put-back basket and Ramirez hit a pair of free throws and a layup as the Apps cut the score to 66-59 with five minutes remaining. The Apps kept the deficit at seven points for the next two minutes but were unable to challenge any further as the Paladins sank five foul shots in the final minutes to ice the game. The Mountaineers take a week off for the holiday break before taking on Georgetown in Washington, D.C. on December 28.

Spencer scored five against the Bulldogs to go along with two rebounds and one assist. The Mountaineers then went on a two and half minute 7-0 run, as Brittney Spencer, Charmene Means and Sam Ramirez all hit shots to cut the deficit to just six, at 19-11, but the Bulldogs would respond scoring to back to back jumpers to push the score back to double-digits, leading 23-11 with a little over ten minutes to play in the half. ASU would only score five more points over the final minutes of play off of a Brittany Mixon jumper and a Sade Means 3 pointer before the break, while SU went on a 12-0, four and a half minute run to end the half and take a 43-16 advantage into the break. The 16 points were Appalachian’s lowest scoring output in the first half of the play the entire season. Appalachian was able to get is offense going in the opening minutes of the second half, as Mixon scored two buckets for ASU to cut the score to 46 to 20. Ramirez would get in on the action as well laying the ball in the bucket for her 8th points of the contest. Mixon scored 12 of her 14 points in the second half, to go along with a team-high 14 points she also hauled in six boards.
percentage at 29 percent and poor rebounding hurt Appalachian State University women’s basketball (3-14, 2-7) against Chattanooga (13-6, 9-1), as the Mocs were able to push past ASU, winning the contest 72-43. The Apps got out to a strong start Monday evening in McKenzie arena, going on a 4-0 run to begin the game as Chattanooga native Catherine Williams scored the first points of night and Brittney Spencer hit a floater to give ASU the early 4-0 advantage. Williams finished the evening tying a career-high in points with seven and tying a career-high in steals with two. She also had two rebounds, two blocks and one assist. The Lady Mocs responded to Appalachian’s early offensive surge, going on a 6-0 run of their own to take the lead. Brittany Mixon would help cut UTC’s lead to just one scoring two back to back layups, her first points of the contest to make the score 11-10. The senior finished the game with four points and one block. Chattanooga would have its largest lead of the game up to that point with a little over 10 minutes to go in the half, taking a 28-14 advantage after going on a 8-2 five and half minute run, with Shanara Hollinquest scoring three points, and Megan Rollins chipping in five. Rollins had a career-high 13 points and a career-high eight rebounds. Four Lady Mocs finished the evening with double-figure scoring, with Erin Ogan scoring a game-high 15 points. Frances Hernandez would end Chattanooga’s run and ASU’s three minute scoring drought, draining a three pointer and hitting two of three free throws to cut the lead to single digits at nine with 3:58 remaining in the half. The Apps scored one point over the final three minutes of play in the first off a Spencer free throw, and Chattanooga took a 33-20 lead into the intermission. Spencer capped off the game tying a career-high six rebounds and six steals, to go along with eight points.
got out to an early lead at Belk Arena and never looked back as the Mountaineers handily defeated SoCon rival Davidson (8-12, 7-4), 77-57. The win was ASU’s first victory over the Wildcats since the 2005-06 season, snapping a five game losing streak to DC, and it was the Apps largest margin of victory in the 2008-09 campaign. Coming into Saturday’s contest the Wildcats were third in the conference standings. Sophomore guard Frances Hernandez propelled the Apps offensively, scoring 21 first half points, the most a Mountaineer has scored in a half of action since Gigi Thomas had 23 in the second half of play on November 18, 2006 against Alabama A&M. Hernandez went 5-8 from behind the three point arc, and 6-7 from the charity stripe to cap off the afternoon with a career-high 27 points, to go along with four rebounds and two steals. Canesha Edwards set the tempo for ASU in the opening minutes, as she battled for and won the tip off and scored the ensuing layup to give ASU the early 2-0 lead. The Apps were able to continue with their fast pace play, as they jumped out to a 26-12 lead, with Hernandez having the hot shooting hand, scoring 13 out of ASU’s 15 points to help the Black and Gold go on a little under nine minute 17-6 run. Edwards finished the contest with six points, six boards, four steals and two assists. ASU had a three minute scoring drought which allowed Davidson to capitalize as the Wildcats went on a 6-0 run to cut the score to 30-22 with a little over three minutes to play in the half. Appalachian responded, closing out the first half on a 12-2 run to take a 42-24 advantage heading into intermission. The two squads battled in the second half, but early buckets by Brittany Mixon and Edwards pushed the score to 46-26.
The Mocs 21-4 run in the opening minutes of second half play doomed ASU, as UTC was able to push the score to 54-22, their largest lead of the contest with a little over 12 minutes left in the game. The run coupled with ASU’s scoring drought, scoring only four points in the opening eight minutes of the second half put the game out of reach for the Black and Gold.
A late 5-0 run beginning at the 8:23 mark off of a three pointer, a layup and a free throw by Davidson’s Ashley Lax proved not to be enough, as Appalachian was able to keep up its momentum and take home the win. Lax was DC’s leading scorer, with 16 points, while Mercedes Robinson posted her 11th double-double of the season with 15 points and ten rebounds.
Despite the solid effort, Chika Okoli paced the Bulldogs offensively scoring the team’s first 12 points of the second half, off of two three pointers, two jumpers and two made free throws, to put ASU down 55-27 with just over 15 minutes to play. Okoli was Samford’s leading scorer, finishing the game with a career-high 19 points, going 3-4 from behind the arc.
An 11-3 little under five minute run off of a Canesha Edwards layup, two Sade Means free throws, to go along with a Karina Mill layup and Spencer jumper, was not enough for Appalachian, as they fell for the 22nd straight time to the Lady Mocs.
The Mountaineers win was a total team effort, as Brittney Spencer and Mixon closed out the game in double figures in addition to Hernandez, scoring 13 and 10 points respectively.
ASU went on a 5-0 run halfway through the second half to push the score to 55-32, but the late offensive surge was not enough as Samford went on to defeat the Apps.
Means second half scoring helped propel Appalachian offensivley, scoring eight of her team-high ten points in the second, to go along with four rebounds, one assist and one block. It was the fourth time all-season that the Atlanta, Ga. native led Appalachian in scoring.
The 3 point shooting really hindered the Black and Gold as the Bulldogs went 13-23 from the three point line, while ASU was just 2-9 shooting just 22 percent. The 13 3’s tied a season-high scored by an opponent, matching the 13 Davidson had against ASU back on December 6.
Along with poor shooting, foul trouble proved to be an achilles heel as well with Williams, Mill and Edwards all fouling out of the contest.
Appalachian continues with its road-trip as the Apps head to Rock City to take on the Lady Mocs, January 19 at 7 p.m.
ASU finished the game with a 54.7 shooting percentage, the best mark for the Black and Gold this season. Appalachian looks to continue with its impressive play, as they return to the comfy confines of the Holmes Center to take on out of conference opponent Gardner-Webb, January 28 at 7 p.m.
The Mountaineers continue with their grueling road schedule as they play another top SoCon team January 24, taking on the Davidson Wildcats at Belk Arena, with tip off scheduled for Noon.

BOONE, N.C.- Out of conference play proved to be yet another challenge for
Appalachian State University (4-15) women’s basketball, as the Apps were unable to hang with a hot-shooting Gardner-Webb (11-9) squad, falling 77-62. Frances Hernandez led ASU in scoring for the fourth time this season and for the second straight game, as the sophomore guard scored a team-high 15 points, to go along with two assists, three steals and no turnovers, while five Gardner-Webb players finished the contest in double-figures, with Laura Povilonyte having a game-high 16 points. Despite solid guard play, as Brittney Spencer was the Black and Gold’s secondleading scorer with 12 points on the night and an early lead, the Runnin’ Bulldogs were able to connect on more shots early on, as they went on a 7-0 run to jump out to a 21-11 advantage eight minutes into action. Sam Ramirez ended Appalachian’s three mintue scoring drought, as she nailed a jumper and Sade Means forced a steal and hit the fast break layup to cut GWU’s advantage to seven. Ramirez posted four points in the contest, and Means finished with seven. Appalachian would pull within three points with a little under four minutes to play in the first, as Catherine Williams nailed a jumper and Spencer scored a layup to make the score 30-27. Williams finished the evening with a career-high eight points, while Spencer chipped in four assists and four rebounds. Three points would be the narrowest lead for GWU in the waning minutes of the first half as they would take the 41-33 advantage into the break. Stout shooting the entire game by Gardner-Webb, but especially in the first half of action doomed ASU as the Runnin’ Bulldogs went 56 percent from the field and 63 percent from behind the arc. The Mountaineers didn’t score a three pointer the entire first half, for the first time since playing Wake Forest back on November 21. An early 9-4 run by GWU pushed the score to 50-37 just five minutes into second half play. Hernandez was able to find her shot in the second, nailing a jumper and draining Appalachian’s first three pointer of the contest to make the score 57-46 with a little over eight minutes to play. 11 points would be the closest the Black and Gold could make the score in second half action, as Gardner-Webb was able to come away with the win. ASU returns to action January 31, heading back into conference play, hosting SoCon oppponent Furman at 1 p.m., in game one of a double-header.

continued with its impressive Southern Conference play as the Mountaineers defeated SoCon foe Furman (10-14, 4-9) in the Holmes Center 77-64. With the win the Apps move into sole possession of seventh place in the league standings and are one win away from matching their conference win total from the 2007-08 campaign. Senior Brittany Mixon was the dominant force for the Black and Gold all around, as she recorded her fourth double-double of the season, scoring 23 points and hauling in a game-high 14 rebounds. She also had five blocks and three asissts. Along with Mixon, Sam Ramirez had a stellar game as well, falling just short of a triple-double, as she was the Mountaineer’s second leading scorer, having 17 points, in addition to nine assists and seven rebounds. The sophomore guard also recorded her first block of her career, compiling two in the game. Appalachian’s strong start helped to propel them to the win, as ASU trailed just once the entire contest, by one point in the opening minutes of action. An 8-0, 2:23 run pushed ASU’s early lead to 26-14, with offense coming from all over, as Ramirez nailed two jumpers, Brittney Spencer hit a bucket off a spindribble and Mixon had a layup. Spencer finished the contest with nine points, five boards and two assists. Furman would step up its game on the offensive front as they were able to score two back to back buckets with Kendra Berry hitting a jumper and Shana Booker draining a three pointer to cut the Mountaineers lead to 30-27 with under four minutes remaining in the first. Sade Means responded with a layup of her own and Mixon had two back to back scores to give the Black and Gold a 38-32 advantage heading into intermission. ASU was able to keep up its strong play in the opening five minutes of second half, going on a 14-4 run. The run helped the Apps take its largest lead of the contest with under 12 minutes to play at 56-38.
SPARTANBURG, S.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (6-15,
5-7) took their first lead of the game with just under ten minutes to play and put up a relentless fight, battling back from a seven point half-time deficit to defeat Wofford College (4-17, 2-11) for the third straight time, winning 65-60. The win gives ASU its fifth league win of the season, matching its number of conference wins from the 2007-08 season and was only the second time ASU had come back from a halftime deficit all season. . Appalachian was ahead 61-54 with 1:44 remaining when Kelly Dwyer and Maddie Helms scored back to back buckets for the Terriers to cut the Black and Gold’s advantage to just three points. Despite being sub-par from the charity stripe the entire evening as a team, Brittney Spencer and Sam Ramirez each drained two clutch free throws in the final seconds of the contest to secure Appalachian’s sixth win of the season. Wofford came out strong in the first half, going on an early 16-4 run with offense coming from all over for the Terriers. The Mountaineers would fight back cutting the deficit to just five points as Frances Hernandez kept Appalachian alive, hitting two treys to make the score 32-28 with a little under six minutes to play. Hernandez’s first half play was stellar, as the sophomore guard posted 16 points. She finished the contest with a game-high 19 points, shooting 50 percent from behind the arc. Five would be the narrowest of margins in the first for the Apps, as Appalachian headed into the break down 42-35. The Black and Gold’s offensive surge in the second half helped them to earn the win, as they went on a 14-2 little over seven minute run with Brittany Mixon scoring all ten of her points of the game in the second period and Canesha Edwards chipping in four. Wofford could not respond to the offensive streak as the Terriers scored just 18 points compared to ASU’s 30 in second half action.
The Paladins would not be shut out quite yet, as they were able to pull within 12 points off a little over three minute 13-5 spurt of their own.
Mixon, Edwards and Sade Means tied for a team-high eight boards. Means also had eight points, two steals and one assist, while Edwards posted 11 points and Mixon had a team-high three blocks.
Despite FU’s rally, Appalachian would continue its relentless offensive attack, as Ramirez drained her second trey of the contest and Mixon had another layup to give ASU the win.
Two Terriers finished the contest in double-figure scoring as Natalie Gramblin and Maddie Helms had 13 and 12 points on the evening.
Four Mountaineers finished the contest in double figure scoring, and the team shot just shy of a season best at 53.4 percent. Three Paladins were in double figure scoring as well, with Melissa Liebschwager tying a season-best 21 points that she had against the Mountaineers when the two squad’s met earlier in the season. Appalachian looks to push in league winning streak to three, as the Apps travel to Spartanburg, S.C. February 2, to take on the Wofford Terriers, with tip off scheduled for 6 p.m.

Game 22 • 2/7/09 Appalachian State vs. Western Carolina at Cullowhee, N.C. (Ramsey Center)
5-8) was unable to rally a comeback after falling behind at the Ramsey Center as the Mountaineers fell to SoCon rival Western Carolina (12-11, 8-6) 75-50. The loss was Appalachian’s first conference loss since January 19, snapping a three game SoCon winning streak. A 22-7 run at the 13 minute mark of the first half of play along with 28 points in the paint doomed the Black and Gold as the Catamounts were able to get their offense clicking, with Brooke Johnson scoring seven points for WCU draining two jumpers and nailing a three. Johnson finished the game as WCU’s leading scorer, with 12 points. For Appalachian Brittney Spencer and Brittany Mixon tried to get Appalachian’s offense going with Spencer scoring four points and Mixon two, but it couldn’t match Western’s surge and the Apps took a 46-23 deficit into the half. Spencer and Mixon were both the lone Mountaineers to finish the contest in double-figure scoring, as Spencer was the leading scorer with 13 points to go along with five boards, three assists and one steal. Mixon posted 12 points, a team-high eight boards and was one just one shy of her career-high in blocks with five. It was the 15th game this season the senior posted double figure scoring. The two teams traded buckets over the course of the opening minutes of the second half, with Sam Ramirez starting the scoring, nailing a jumper to cut Appalachian’s deficit to 21. Ramirez had eight points, with five boards and two assists. Despite solid play, and a late run, with Karina Mill, Spencer and Charmene Means all chipping in points, ASU could not get over the 20 point hump, and Western Carolina came away with the win. The Apps look to get back into the winning column, as they head back to the High Country to take on Elon, February 9 at 7 p.m. in the Holmes Center

The Mountaineers had a slow start Monday evening at the Holmes Center and never quite recovered as the Phoenix jumped out to a 15-5 lead before ASU was able to get its offense going eight minutes into play. Senior Brittany Mixon led Appalachian’s charge scoring eight buckets over the course of four minutes of action to cut the Apps deficit to three points. Mixon finished the game with 15 points and 13 rebounds, recording her fifth double-double of the season, and making it the 16th time in 23 games she has posted double-figure scoring this season. She also had five blocks against the Phoenix, just one away from her career-high of six. Three would be the smallest advantage for Elon, as the Phoenix closed out the first half of play on a 14-2 run with Amber Wall and Julie Taylor pacing the Phoenix, combining for 10 of their points to put Appalachian down 36-21 at the break. Wall was one of three Phoenix in double-figure scoring, having 14 points, while Urysla Cotten paced Elon with 17. Canesha Edwards and Catherine Williams posted strong second half performances for Appalachian, but a little over three minute scoring drought, coupled by a Phoenix 8-0 run put the game out of reach for the Black and Gold, as Elon picked up the win. Edwards finished the evening with 13 points and seven boards while Williams recorded a career-high 17 points to go along with seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal. Along with an early surge by Elon, poor shooting also hindered ASU, hitting just 39.1 percent of their shots to go along with going 0-10 from behind the arc. It was the first time Appalachian had not hit a three pointer since December 8 at Wichita State and just the second time all season. It was also the first time since the Alabama A & M game on November 24, 2008 that an opponent didn’t score a three. ASU looks to bounce back from a dissapointing loss, as the Mountaineers continue their homestand, taking on Wofford, February 11 at 7 p.m.
BOONE, N.C.- Sophomore guard Brittney Spencer drained one of two free
throws to put Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-17, 6-9) up 70-68 with a little over one minute to play and the ASU defense was able to come up with a crucial rebound off a missed Summer Nichols jumper with the clock winding down. The following posession Brittany Mixon iced the win for the Black and Gold as she grabbed a rebound off a missed Canesha Edwards shot and layed the ball back in the bucket to help give Appalachian the 72-68 victory over Wofford (4-19, 2-13) at the Holmes Center. The Mountaineers were down by as many as 13 points in the second half, but were able to rally a comeback, to complete the season sweep of the Terriers, and notch their sixth league win of the season. The sixth SoCon wins surpasses the 2007-08 squads SoCon wins total of five. Wofford came out strong in the first half of play, going on a 17-9 run over the course of nine minutes to give them a 26-19 advantage with 6:26 to play in the first. The Terriers drained five three pointers, with Maddie Helms hitting two of the them to put the Apps down by seven. Helms was one of three Terriers to finish in double-figures with 10 points, while Natale Gramblin posted 17. ASU responded going on a 7-2 streak of their own, with Sade Means scoring six of the Apps points to put the Mountaineers down by just four with a 1:43 remaining until the break. Four final second first half free throws by Helms pushed ASU’s deficit back to eight points at the intermission. Appalachian would not go away quietly, and posted just its third comeback of the year after being down at halftime, as ASU went on a 14-5 little under six minute run with Mixon scoring four points, Means notching five and Frances Hernandez scoring on two back to back posessions to put ASU down 53-51 with 9:23 remaining. Mixon finished the evening with a game-high 20 points to go along with 14 rebounds, recording her sixth double-double of the season, and making it the first time in her career that she posted two consecutive double-double games. She scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half. Means was impressive as well, with 15 points, seven boards, two assists and two steals. The Black and Gold took their first lead of the night when Sam Ramirez drilled a trey to give ASU the 58-56 advantage.The two squads battled in the final minutes, but Appalachiain was able to hold off a pesky Terrier squad and pull out the win. Ramirez also finished the contest in double-figure scoring, with 15 points, six rebounds, and a game-high five assists. The Mountaineers stout shooting proved to be crucial, shooting 51.7 percent. The Terriers shot 38.9 percent on the evening, making all seven of ASU’s wins this season coming when its opponent shoots less than 40 percent from the field. ASU’s four blocks in the contest also give the Mountaineers 100 blocks for the 2008-09 campaign, and sets the new school record for team blocks in a season that was set by the 1984-85 ASU team. The Apps look to carry their momentum into a huge SoCon matchup, as ASU takes on top-tier conference newcomer Samford February 14 at 2 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

Despite playing toe-toe with Samford in the second half, with each team scoring 29 second half points, a 19-4 run in the final 9:43 of the first and nine threepointers in the contest by the Bulldogs, with their only five field goals of the second period coming off treys, proved to be the difference in the contest. The Black and Gold battled in the opening minutes of action, and the Apps notched its first lead of the game at the 9:57 mark when Frances Hernandez drilled a trey to put ASU up 14-11. But, Appalachian would be stuck on 14 points and for the next 8:34 were unable to drain a bucket while the Bulldogs scored 19. Karina Mill ended ASU’s scoring drought as she hit a layup and the ensuing free throw to put Appalachian down 30-18 at the break. The 18 first half points tied the lowest ASU had scored in a half all season, with the last time coming back on November 21 against Wake Forest. ASU outscored Samford 7-3 early in the second half, cutting the Samford advantage to 35-29 with Brittany Mixon scoring four points and Sade Means chipping in two free throws. Means ended the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds, earning her first double-double of her career. The freshman guard also had two assists and one steal. Appalachian continued with its strong play as Sam Ramirez nailed two back to back jumpers to cut the Bulldogs lead to just three with 10:38 remaining. Ramirez was the Black and Gold’s leading scorer with 11 points and a game-high five assists.
down by just two points with 8:59 remaining in the first, but a 16-0 run coupled with a five minute and thirteen second scoring drought doomed the Mountaineers at the Holmes Center, as they fell 71-47 to SoCon leader Chattanooga (20-7, 16-2). The contest marks the 23rd straight game that the Black and Gold has lost to Chattanooga dating back to the 1998-99 season.
ASU got off to a strong start in the first half with Brittany Mixon and Brittney Spencer pacing Appalachian. The duo combined for 12 of the Apps first 14 points. Mixon finished the contest with 20 points and 13 rebounds, recording her third double-double in four games and seventh of the season. She also had five blocks one away from her career-high of six. Spencer had four points, to go along with five assists and three steals. The Mountaineers were able to cut the Lady Mocs lead to just two points at 20-18 with 8:59 remaining in the first, but a late first half run put the contest out of reach as Chattanooga took the resounding 44-24 lead into the break, as ASU was unable to score in the final five minutes of action. UTC’s run was propelled by six LaCondra Mason points and four points by Shanara Hollinquest. Mason finished the evening with 13 points and was one of four Lady Mocs to finish in doublefigures, with Jenaya Wade-Fray scoring a season high 22 points. The Apps posted a strong battle in the second, as Canesha Edwards got Appalachian on the board first, but the Mountaineers were unable to cut the deficit to any closer than 14 points in the second period and UTC came away with the win. Edwards grabbed ten boards and had six points on the night. Despite the tough loss, ASU tied a season low with 15 turnovers. Appalachian takes a short break, before returning to action February 21, as the Black and Gold take on the College of Charleston, with tip set for 2 p.m.
CHARLESTON, S.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-20,
Sophomore guard Sam Ramirez proved to be ASU’s offensive strength down the stretch, as she scored eight of Appalachian’s final 12 points. Her jumper knotted the contest at 53 apiece with a little over one minute remaining. She finished the evening with a game high 19 points, nine assists and two steals, 15 of the points coming in the second half. Brittany Mixon was impressive as well for the Black and Gold, as the lone senior scored nine of Appalachian’s first 13 points in the contest. She finished the game in double figures for the 19th time this season with 16 points, seven boards and four blocks. The game was hotly contested for much of the first half as Appalachian kept pace with Charleston and were up on the Cougars by as many as four points but a seven minute field goal drought proved to be costly as CofC went on a 12-1 run to go up by as many as 16 points. Karina Mill hit a top of the key jumper, and snapped ASU’s little over seven minute scoring drought to put the Mountaineers down 27-16 with a little less than 3 minutes to play in the first. The Canada native continued with her strong play as she got her second bucket of the night and Ramirez got in on the scoring action as well as the sophomore guard forced a steal and hit the ensuing lay up to put the Apps down 32-20 at the break. Appalachian came out strong in the second half, going on an early 7-2 streak off of five Ramirez points, including Appalachian’s first trey of the game to cut CofC’s advantage to 34-27 with 15:30 to play. The final minutes of play were intense, as ASU would battle back from being down by as many as 11 points, and take a two point lead, before Hughes nailed the game-winning three to give the Cougars the win.
Samford came back with an 8-0 run and ASU had a litle under five minute scoring drought to push the lead back to double-digits until Mixon hit a layup to make it 44-35 with 5:16 left on the clock.
Missed free throws proved to be the Mountaineers achilles heel as the Apps went just 2-9 from the charity stripe and missed three key free throws down the stretch.
Two late three pointers by Emily London and Monica Maxwell put a dagger in Appalachian’s attempt for the upset, as Samford was able to pull out the win. London and Maxwell paced the Bulldogs offensively as London had 11 points and Maxwell a game-high 19 points, including three 3 pointers.
Three Apps finished the contest in double figures, while Sarah Moye and Deidra Jones paced the Cougars with 11 points apiece. ASU looks to bounce back from a tough loss, as they head to Greensboro, N.C. to take on UNCG, February 23 at 7 p.m.
The Apps continue with their grueling schedule capping off their four game home stint, as they face SoCon leader Chattanooga, February 14 at 5 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

Game 28 • 2/23/09 Appalachian State vs. UNCG at Greensboro, N.C. (Fleming Gym)
GREENSBORO, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-21, 6-13) was unable to keep pace with SoCon foe UNCG (12-16, 9-10) at Fleming Gym as the Apps fell in a tough contest, losing 74- 60 to the Spartans.
Despite picking up their pace in the late minutes of the second half, a 12 point deficit at the break and 13-3 run by the Spartans in the opening minutes of second half play doomed the Black and Gold, who are now on a four game losing streak, the Apps longest SoCon losing of the 2008-09 campaign. The Mountaineers got off to a solid start in the first as the two squads traded buckets over the course of the opening minutes of play, but besides an early 2-0 advantage, Appalachian would never lead the rest of the contest. ASU was paced by Sam Ramirez and Catherine Williams, with Ramirez notching the Black and Gold’s first five points of the game and Williams also chipping in five. Ramirez finished the contest with 13 points, four assists and two steals. UNCG’s hot shooting (56 percent in the first half ) propelled the Spartans to go up by as many as 13 points with three minutes to play in the first, thanks in part to 15 first half points by Gini Grimsley. Grimsley had a game-high 19 points on the night. Appalachian would be able to cut the Spartan’s advantage to 11 before the break with Karina Mill and Brittney Spencer chipping in four late ASU points to make it 39-27 at the intermission. The Mountaineers stagnant start in the second half, combined with a 13-3 UNCG run, put the contest out of reach giving the Spartans its largest lead at 52-32 with a little over 13 minutes to play. Seven second half points by Brittany Mixon and 10 by Sade Means helped ASU to pick up its play in the late minutes of action, but it wasn’t enough as UNCG was able to pull out the win. Mixon notched her eighth double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Sade Means was two off her career-high, with a team-high 15 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists. The loss was Appalachian’s first to UNCG since they fell to the Spartans 62-44 in the first round of the 2007-08 Southern Conference Tournament. ASU returns to action in their final home and regular season of the 2008-09 season, as the Apps take on Georgia Southern at 1 p.m. in the Holmes Center. The Black and Gold will also honor senior Brittany Mixon in a senior day presentation.
came out strong in the early minutes of play and finished their 2008-09 regular season contest with the same momentum, as the Apps were able to knock off Georgia Southern (16-13, 11-9) 68-59 at the Holmes Center. After the Eagles took only their second lead of the contest at the 7:03 mark in the second half, going up 49-48 off a Jamie Navarro three pointer, the Black and Gold rallied with Canesha Edwards hitting a layup and a free throw to put Appalachian on top 51-49. The contest would be tied once more at 51 all, but seven straight points by the Mountaineers and eight made free throws in the final 53 seconds of play, six by Brittney Spencer and two by Catherine Williams helped the Apps capture the nine point win. Spencer had a career and game-high 20 points, to go along with four assists and two steals, while Williams notched five points and three boards. ASU was down by just two in the opening seconds of play and never relinquished the lead in the first half as the Mountaineers went up by as many as eight points with a little under nine minutes to play at 20-12, with senior Brittany Mixon scoring six points and Spencer and Sade Means each chipping in four. Appalachian’s 42 percent shooting coupled with Georgia Southern not scoring a field goal until six minutes into action propelled ASU to its strong play and helped them to take a 28-27 advantage into the break. The second half was a hotly contested battle with each squad trading buckets over the course of early minutes of play. The Eagles took their first lead since the first half with 6:36 to play. The Mountaineers however would not back down, as Sam Ramirez, Spencer and Mixon all helped to erase the Eagles one point lead and give Appalachian a six point advantage with 3:21 remaining. Spencer scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half of action.
eight rebounds as Appalachian State University women’s basketball erased a 16-point second half time deficit to beat Furman 63-60 in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament. It was just the fourth time all-season that the Mountaineers came back after being down at the half. The Mountaineers trailed by 16 points midway through the second half before Sam Ramirez connected on a pair of treys to cut the deficit to 48-38 with 10 minutes remaining. Offensive rebounding aided the Apps as the team cut the lead to five points with five minutes to play before Mixon passed an offensive board to Ramirez in the left corner for her fourth longball of the game to pull within two at 56-54 a minute later.
Ramirez then took over in the paint with a layup to tie the game with two minutes left before Canesha Edwards gave the team its first lead of the half with a jumper from the right baseline. Mixon extended the lead with two free throws as the clock struck one minute. Furman matched the points with two free throws of its own, and then rebounded an ASU miss with less than 30 seconds. FU’s Lee Stephens drove the lane but lost the ball out of bounds to the Mountaineers with 12.3 seconds left. Ramirez was fouled almost immediately and sank the first of two shots to extend the lead to 61-58. Stephens made two free throws with 5.8 seconds remaining to cut ASU’s lead to one point. A well-executed long inbound play helped the Mountaineers burn a few seconds off the clock before Brittney Spencer was fouled and made both shots to ice the game. Liebschwager’s half-court heave at the buzzer to tie the game was well off the mark. Furman’s Melissa Liebschwager made four of the team’s five first-half threepointers as the Paladins ended the period on a 14-0 run to take a 32-18 advantage at the break.
ASU came up big at the charity stripe, nailing clutch free throws down the stretch to take home the win.
Ramirez led the team with 19 points with four treys and seven assists while Spencer added 10 points and six assists. Appalachian shot 58.1 percent in the second half and 44.3 percent overall in the game. After missing their first eight three-point attempts, the Mountaineers connected on each of the last four.
Appalachian’s win over GSU, snaps a four-game SoCon losing streak and snaps a four-game losing streak to the Eagles, as the Apps notched their first win over their SoCon foe since January 20, 2007.
The Apps face top-seeded Chattanooga at 11:30 a.m. in the quarterfinal game.
Three Mountaineers in addition to Spencer finished the contest in double-figures, as Mixon played her final regular season in the Black and Gold in style, scoring 14 points and hauling in five boards, along with Ramirez having 13 points and Edwards posting 10. Jessica Geiger and Samantha Williams led Georgia Southern with 13 and 11 points respectively. The Apps look to carry their strong play and momentum into the Southern Conference Tournament March 5. ASU will play Furman at 3 p.m.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball
was unable to keep pace with No.1 seed Chattannooga at McKenize Arena as the Lady Mocs notched the 86-53 win, eliminating ASU from the Southern Conference tournament. The Black and Gold found themselves in a hole early, after being down 12-2 five minutes into action, but a` n 8-0 run by the Mountaineers propelled by six Sam Ramirez points, knotted the contest at 12 apiece. Another Ramirez trey would put Appalachian down just four at 23-19, but back to back three pointers by Tagan Hatchett would push UTC’s advantage back to 11 with a little over two minutes to play in the first. Ramirez finished the contest with 11 points, three assists and three boards. Hatchett was one of three Lady Mocs to finish the contest in double-figures, scoring 18 points, all coming from behind the three point arc. An 8-2 streak by the Lady Mocs over the waning minutes of the first would doom ASU, as they headed into the break down 41-26. Senior Brittany Mixon found her shooting hand in the second half, scoring 13 of her 15 points along with going 3-4 from the charity stripe. The lone senior for the Black and Gold also had 11 rebounds, notching her ninth double-double of the season. She also had two blocks, putting her at 62 on the season, breaking a 20 year single-season block record set by Valorie Whiteside. Despite the tough play in the second, a 15 point half-time deficit proved to be too much for Appalachian to come back from, dropping its 24th consecutive game to Chattanooga and ending its 2008-09 campaign.

The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. 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. The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State has won three of the last four Football Championship Subdivision titles. 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. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Southern Conference office is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.
The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed from the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davison, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift came about in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Commissioner Forest withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic John Iamarino Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five states: Alabame, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. On July 1, 2008, Samford officially joined the league, brining membership of the conference to 12.
Membership History
Leadership
The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. as 14 institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools - Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. VMI became a member in 1925 and Duke was added 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history.
John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Previously, Iamarino served as commissioner of the Northeast Conference. In nine years with the New Jersey-based league, Iamarino promoted the conference through an ambitious agenda which improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters 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 SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C. to historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.
The Southern Conference
Championship History
The 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. The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 198384 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 Southern Conference currently 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. Women’s sports are relatively young in the league’s history. In 2007-08, the Southern Conference will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary of women’s championship. Furman golfer Dottie Pepper was named the Southern Conference Women’s Athlete of the Decade in conjunction with that event. Appalachian State’s Mary Jayne Harrelson won the NCAA Outdoor title at 1500 meters in 1999 and 2001. Furman’s Brandi Jackson won the NCAA Women’s Golf East Regional in the spring of 2003.
Coaches and Administrators
The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. Lefty Driesell coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach of the Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach of the Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State and is in his first season as head coach at the College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Officials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. Even the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A legendary Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games which still ranks tied for fourth on the league’s all-time coaching victories list. The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at five Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. William & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

U men’s sta helped lead AS Senior Asmeron De SoCon ve uti ec ns co rth fou cross country to its allng rni ea ll, second overa title and finished SoCon honors.
For the fourth-straight year and 29th time overall, Appalachian State University won the Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup in 2008-09, awarded annually to the conference’s top all-around men’s sports program. On the strength of SoCon titles in football, cross country and indoor track and field, Appalachian compiled 87.5 points in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, easily out-distancing second-place Chattanooga (70.5 pts.). ASU’s men’s teams finished in second place or higher in 5-of-10 sports and sixth or better in 8-of-10, leading to the fourth-highest points total in the 40-year history of the all-sports competition. Senior Casey Cleary closed out her career as ASU’s women’s soccer all-time record holder in career goals, along with holding six other school records.
All 29 of Appalachian’s Commissioner’s Cup titles have come since 1977-78, giving it 29 of the past 32 all-sports crowns overall. ASU’s 29 Commissoner’s Cups are by far the most in SoCon history — William & Mary boasts the second-most at five, followed by East Carolina (four) and Chattanooga, East Tennessee State and Furman (one each). On the women’s side, ASU placed sixth in the Germann Cup standings with 64.5 points, just 13.5 points behind champion College of Charleston in the hotly contested women’s all-sports race.

101
Valorie Whiteside holds 42 Appalachian school records, including most career points (2,944), field goals made in a career (1,153) and rebounds in a career (1,369). In her Appalachian State-record 116 games, Whiteside averaged 25.4 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. She also holds the Appalachian records for most points in a game with 48 and rebounds in a game with 26. Whiteside earned all-Southern Conference honors all four years at Appalachian, all-tournament honors three times (1985, 87, 88) and was named the conference player of the year in 1988 and Tournament MVP in 1987 and 1988. She ranks eighth all-time in NCAA scoring history with 2,944 career points and seventh in career scoring average with 25.4 points per game. Whiteside was inducted into Appalachian’s athletics Hall of Fame on September 20, 2003.
History and Records
Carol Almond came to Appalachian State University in 1975 and played four seasons under the direction of Dr. Judy Clarke. Over her historic career Almond became the first female collegiate student-athlete to score 1,000 points in the state of North Carolina. Almond finished her stay at Appalachian State University with 1,158 points. She was selected to the all-state (NCAIAW Division I) team all four seasons as a Mountaineer. Almond played for one season with St. Louis in the Women’s Basketball League. Among the many firsts to her credit, she was the first female at Appalachian to have her jersey retired. ASU women’s hoops standout Valorie Whiteside (see below) and volleyball player and coach Traci Blankenship have since joined Almond as the only Appalachian female student-athletes to receive the honor. In men’s athletics history at Appalachian, only one jersey joins the three women’s jerseys in the rafters. Football’s jersey No. 23, mostnotably worn by Appalachian standout and former NFL running back John Settle, has been retired. Almond was inducted into the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame on September 2, 1989.

Appalachian women’s basketball enters its tenth season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as Appalachian’s volleyball 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. The Mountaineer women opened the arena two days later hosting Wake Forest on November 19, 2000. ASU fell, 83-60, in the contest in front of 561 fans. Entering the 2007-08 season, the Mountaineers are 43-58 (.426) all-time in the arena with the largest crowd of 1,503 fans attending ASU’s contest with Chattanooga on February 21, 2003. 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.
Varsity Gym Though the Mountaineers compete exclusively in the Holmes Center, the team often practices in the spacious Varsity Gym on campus as well. Four adjacent courts can be set up on the floor to allow for maximum utilization of practice time. In addition to the new court 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 basketball, volleyball, field hockey and the track and field teams.

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.
The Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes helps students prioritize academics by providing a comprehensive support system throughout their college careers. The overall graduation rate of studentathletes on campus has consistently remained higher than that of the Appalachian total student body. Approximately 35 percent of all student-athletes at ASU made the Southern Conference Honor Roll in the 200708 academic year. The people of Appalachian State University are very proud of the academic achieve-
ments 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.
Senior Karina Mill posts a team-high 3.62 GPA and was named to the SoCon winter academic all-conference list three times.
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 MakeA-Wish Foundation’s ‘Celebrity Serve’ which featured student-athletes from several 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. 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. The Apps also participate
in freshman move in day, helping freshman all around campus move into their dorms. Additionally, ASU players and coaches volunteer their time for a number of other basketball clinics throughout the year, including sessions with the Special Olympics.

Charlie Cobb Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Fifth Year
I
www.GoASU.com
n his first four years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 48 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three- consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shattering regular-season attendance records at “The Rock” with a school-record 28,227 fans per game piling into Kidd Brewer Stadium during the 2008 regular season — more than 140 percent of the stadium’s ‘08 seating capacity of 16,650. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales since his arrival in 2005. • Four-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Two Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • 35 percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarships for student-athletes, raising nearly $2.5 million in 2008-09 — reaching the $2 million threshold for the second-straight year time and up over $1.8 million from the year before Cobb’s arrival. • Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to $11 million in 2009-10. Additionally, Cobb has spearheaded Appalachian’s $50 million facilities enhancement campaign, which will come to fruition this fall with the completion of the centerpiece of the campaign, the 120,000-square-foot Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex. The seven-story complex, located behind KBS’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 suites. The facilities enhancements has also included other significant renovations to The Rock.
A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 41-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90. They have an 11-year-old son, Harrison, and a eight-year-old daughter, Branan.

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