YOUNG, TALENTED AND VERSATILE: THE NEW NCCU Lady Eagles take on a new era with a new look
L A D Y E A G L E S B A S K E
For North Carolina Central University, the 2010-11 season means more than just a new year. For the Lady Eagles, it means a new challenge, a new home and a new beginning as the Lady Eagles take on a new look to go along with their new era as a Division I program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. From a team that went 11-18 last season and earned the most wins of any NCCU Division I team, the Lady Eagles return just five. Aside from five studentathletes from the 2009-10 squad, fans will see two more familiar faces as NCCU returns its top two scorers from the 2008-09 campaign. With seven veteran student-athletes, the Lady Eagles will have a strong nucleus. Joining those seven will be six talented and committed freshmen. Head coach Joli Robinson, who enters her 15th season at the helm of the Lady Eagle program, expects a more competitive and talented team this season. This year’s squad will have a lot of versatility and depth, allowing NCCU to show opponents a lot of different options on both sides of the basketball. With the return of Jori Nwachukwu, who averaged 18.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game during the 2008-09 season, the Lady Eagles look to add power to their post game, while adding strength on the boards. The redshirt senior, who has earned numerous honors throughout her career, looks to continue her dominance on the hardwood and will add a lot to NCCU’s level of play this season.
Blaire Houston
Another familiar face on the court this season will be redshirt sophomore Chasidy Williams, who was the second leading scorer for the Lady Eagles during the 2008-09 campaign with an 11.8 scoring average. The Fayetteville, N.C., native returns to the squad this season ready to take on the challenge. She is listed as a post player, but will be seen all over the floor, showing her versatility and skill.
T B A
Blaire Houston, the returning captain from last year’s squad, returns to the guard position after averaging 8.2 points last season. Houston will be looked to for her leadership this season as she continues to battle for her place in the starting rotation. Houston, along with returning senior Shanise Blanks, will be expected to anchor the guard position this season.

Blanks returns for her senior season and stands as the Lady Eagles sharpshooter once again this season. The Wilmington, N.C., native hit 64 3-point field goals last season to set a career high, nailing 36.4 percent of her shots from long range. She will once again contribute to the Lady Eagles’ 3-point game.
L A D
J’Mia Pollock and Sheresa Mills round out the Lady Eagles’ returners for this season, as they each add depth to the post position. Pollock, a 6-2 sophomore, will battle to stay in the starting rotation with the addition of Nwachukwu and Williams to the lineup.
Y E
Mills, who improved tremendously as the Jori Nwachukwu season progressed, hopes to continue her contributions on offense, while Tolliver will continue to standing at 6-2. stand as a threat on the boards for NCCU as she brings Six true freshmen will join the Lady Eagles’ roster height and strength to the Lady Eagles’ post game, this season as they each bring their own sense of style to the Lady Eagle program. This freshmen class is talented and versatile, which will add a new look to NCCU as it enters MEAC action. All six of them have the ability and desire to be in the starting rotation and battle for playing time this season. Assisting Houston and Blanks at the guard position are Tenika Neely, Sierra Solomon and Justyne Sublett. Solomon, a local talent from Broughton High School, will see playing time at both the guard and forward positions, allowing more options down low. Neely and Sublett will add speed to the guard position as they look to contribute to the Lady Eagles’ long range game. Rounding out the freshmen class are Tiffany Gary and Alesha Jenkins, who add strength and agility to NCCU’s post game. Gary and Jenkins are Florida standouts that hope to make an immediate impact as they learn the intercollegiate game. With 13 young, talented and versatile student-athletes, the NCCU Lady Eagles will bring a different look to the game of basketball as they take on their first season with a conference schedule as the newcomers to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Robinson was announced to her post on August 15, 1996. In her first 14 years at NCCU, Robinson has changed attitudes about the women’s basketball program, becoming the winningest head coach in Lady Eagle history with 208 victories. Her teams have accounted for all five 20-win campaigns in the 32-year history of women’s basketball at NCCU and have made four trips to the NCAA playoffs. The 2009-10 edition of the Lady Eagles posted an overall record of 11-18, achieving the most victories in a season since making the move to Division I. The team also boasted a 7-3 record at home. The Lady Eagles improved significantly in their second year as a Division I program under the leadership of Robinson. NCCU finished the 2008-09 season with a 10-17 record. The Lady Eagles earned their first Division I win of the 2008-09 season in Colorado Springs, Colo., where they claimed a victory over Texas-Pan American before defeating Tennessee State at home for their second consecutive win. Another highlight for the Lady Eagles last season was their 14-point loss to ACC-member Wake Forest. NCCU rallied in the second half, shooting 50 percent from the field. Wake Forest went more than five minutes without a field goal as the Lady Eagles closed the gap with a 15-2 run and cut the deficit to eight with 5:54 remaining in the game. During the run, NCCU shut down the Wake Forest offense, only allowing the Deacs to score on a pair of free throws. During the 2007-08 season, which was NCCU’s first campaign as a Division I competitor, the Lady Eagles faced 12 new opponents and played two regular-season games against ACC teams as NCCU opened its regular season at North Carolina and tipped off the new year at Duke. The Lady Eagles earned their first win against a Division I opponent on Jan. 9, 2008

when they defeated Norfolk State, 58-44. NCCU won four of their last seven games as a Division I program, including their victory over Norfolk State. The Lady Eagles also posted a 5-1 record inside McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium in its first Division I season. NCCU earned their first win as a Division I program against Fayetteville State on Dec. 8, 2007 during the Lady Eagle Classic. In 2006-07, the Lady Eagles finished tied with Coppin State University atop the final Black College Sports Page (BCSP) rankings to earn a share of the 2007 BCSP Women’s Basketball Black College National Championship. Robinson guided NCCU to its first CIAA Tournament Championship in 23 years and school records in wins (26) and consecutive victories (19). For the second straight season, NCCU reached the regional semifinals of the NCAA Division II Tournament, with a 7366 win over Newberry College. For her efforts, Robinson was voted as the 2007 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year for the third time in her career (1999, 2001, 2007). The 2005-06 Lady Eagles enjoyed the best start in school history with an 11-1 record, and went on to post the third-best season in the program’s history with 23 victories. NCCU also made its fourth trip to the NCAA postseason by earning an at-large bid as a No. 4 seed. The Lady Eagles advanced to the regional semifinals before losing to the eventual region champion. For her efforts, Robinson was presented with the 2006 Russell Athletic/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NCAA Division II Region 3 Coach of the Year. She was also selected CIAA Coach of the Week twice (Dec. 10, Feb. 18). The 2004-05 Lady Eagles rebounded from a sluggish start to win 12 of their last 15 games, with the last loss coming in the CIAA Tournament Semifinals against the eventual champion. Robinson was voted as the CIAA Coach of the Week twice (Nov. 20, Feb. 5) during her ninth campaign at NCCU. During the 2001-02 season, the Lady Eagles continued their

reign of success. NCCU was the only school to make the return trip to the 2002 NCAA Division II South Atlantic Regional Championships. The Lady Eagles advanced to the round of “Sweet 16” during the national tournament for the first time in school history before falling in the regional championship game to the host institution. The NCCU women also: achieved a No. 1 ranking in the South Atlantic Region poll (Feb. 27 – Final Poll) for the first time in Lady Eagle hoops history; captured the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Western Division regular season title for the third time in the past four years; finished the second consecutive season with an undefeated record at home, riding a 24-game home court win streak; and won 14 consecutive games from Nov. 23, 2001 to Feb. 2, 2002, the second-best win streak in Lady Eagle basketball history.
campaign. In spite of a 5-20 overall finish, the 1996-97 Lady Eagles were competitive and a new era of women’s basketball had arrived at NCCU.
The 2000-01 campaign was a special one for Robinson, as the Lady Eagles established several new standards for women’s basketball at NCCU: most overall victories (25); most regular season victories (22); longest winning streak (16); first undefeated record at home (12-0); highest NCAA regional ranking (No. 7 in final poll on Feb. 27); first at-large bid to NCAA Division II Tournament; and the first NCAA Tournament win for any women’s sports team in NCCU history.
In 1999-2000, the Lady Eagles advanced to the semifinals of the CIAA Tournament for the second consecutive year.
The Lady Eagles also captured the 2000-01 CIAA Western Division Championship, their second in the last three years. The end to the 2000-01 season, however, was much brighter than the beginning for the Lady Eagles, particularly Coach Robinson. Three days before the start of the regular season, Robinson tore her Achilles’ tendon during a faculty/staff versus students basketball game on NCCU’s campus. She underwent surgery and spent the first half of the season on the sideline in a wheelchair and on crutches. Still, she never missed a game. Even after the final contest of the record-breaking season (a two-point loss in the regional semifinals to the No. 1 team in the country), Robinson had a slight limp as she crossed the midcourt line to shake hands with the opposing team. For guiding the Lady Eagles to the winningest women’s basketball campaign in school history, Robinson was selected as the 2001 WBCA Division II District 3 Coach of the Year. She was also recognized as the 2001 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, her second such honor in three seasons. Additionally, Robinson was named CIAA Coach of the Week four times during the regular season (Dec. 10, Jan. 6, Feb. 4, Feb, 17). In The Beginning... Her first season at NCCU was a transitional one. With no time to recruit and no full-time assistant coach, Robinson’s challenge was to be competitive. NCCU opened the season winning three of its first four games, before losing four games by three points or less and two overtime decisions during the remainder of the
In 1997-98, NCCU opened the season by capturing the Lady Eagle Classic and winning five of its first eight games. The Lady Eagles then fell into a 1-15 slump, before winning the last two games of the regular season. In 1998-99, Robinson led the Lady Eagles to the regular season CIAA Western Division Championship title and a 20-7 overall record, becoming the winningest women’s basketball team in school history. For her achievements, Robinson was selected as the 1999 CIAA Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year.
From 1990 to 1996, Robinson directed the varsity girl’s basketball squad at Independence High School to an overall record of 9656. During her six-year tenure, she guided her team to back-toback Conference Championships in 1993-94 and 1994-95. For her work, she was honored as the Conference Coach of the Year in 1994, and North Carolina High School Athletic Association Regional USAir Sportsmanship Award in 1995. Along with her responsibilities to the girl’s basketball program, Robinson was also the head coach of volleyball and track & field, as well as Department Chairperson and an instructor of Health and Physical Education at Independence. Robinson, a native of Charlotte, NC, graduated from Charlotte Catholic High School in 1973. After graduating from Charlotte Catholic High, she entered Winston-Salem State University, where she played point guard for the Lady Ram basketball program for four seasons and earned a bachelor of science degree in 1977, with concentration Health and Physical Education. That same year, she attended West Chester University of Pennsylvania to begin her graduate studies in Health and Physical Education. In 1990, Robinson achieved her master’s degree in Health and Physical Education from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. Since beginning her coaching career in 1977, Robinson has coached basketball, track & field, softball and volleyball at four different school systems in Charlotte. She accepted her first coaching job at Wilson Junior High School, where she stayed for six years. Then, Robinson spent five years at Eastway Junior High School (1984-89), earning Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1986, one year at Hawthorne Traditional School (1989-90), where she was again named Conference Coach of the Year in 1990, and spent the last six years at Independence High School (1990-96).

Dickens graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelor’s degree in parks, recreation and tourism management with an emphasis in sports management. She also graduated with a minor in business. As a freshman, Dickens earned a starting spot for the Wolfpack, where she remained throughout her career at N.C. State. While at N.C.

When asked about Dickens, her former college coach Jenny Palmateer describes her as a tenacious player who was always the hardest worker on the team. She also stated that Dickens had explosive offensive skills and was a big time scorer and rebounder. Dickens was the type of player who was willing to do whatever was asked for the sake of the team.

Dickens decided to start her own company, GIT HYPE (Gathering Individuals To Help Youth Prosper & Excel), with some of her former peers. It was a way for her to pass on life lessons and skills that she was taught. When asked to be a part of the Lady Eagles program, Dickens was very excited and eager to share all the things she was taught by her legendary coach, in hopes that it would help carry this program to its highest potential.

the 2009-10 academic/athletic season Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010 the MEAC made its final expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State University. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Prior to that year the conference operated as a Division II conference. The following month the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) enters its 41st year of operation heading into the 2010-11 academic school year. The MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University. HISTORY In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. Dissected from these discussions, a steering and planning committee was formed to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals. After adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Its major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards and with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports. The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971.
Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994). The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980 and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men’s crown. The first women’s cross country championship took place a year later with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981 with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown. Tennis and golf returned as MEAC governed sports in 1981, after a five-year hiatus. South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 1972-1983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship. Morgan State dominated the conference in wrestling winning 13 of 24 conference championships during the sports tenure (1972-1995). Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC sanctioned sport in 1992. Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. Before that season, the MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.
In 1978, a milestone was reached when the MEAC selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July of 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named the commissioner and has served in the position for nine years.
L A D Y E A G L E S B A S K E T B
The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.

The MEAC expanded again in the 1990’s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded in 2007 adding Winston-Salem State University. Following

NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY RETURNS HOME TO THE MEAC “This is wonderful news for North Carolina Central University, but most importantly for our studentathletes, coaches and fans,” said NCCU Director of Athletics, Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree. “The MidEastern Athletic Conference is a fantastic conference with highly competitive academic and athletic institutions. For NCCU to return to the MEAC and be part of its rich history is a tremendous step for our athletics program. We now have a place to call home.” The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced the addition of North Carolina Central University to the conference as its 13th member, as voted on by the conference’s Council of Chief Executive Officers (CCEOs), effective July 1, 2010. “I am elated to have such an outstanding academic institution as North Carolina Central to return to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference,” said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. “I would like to commend Chancellor Nelms, Dr. Wicker-McCree, and the entire NCCU family for all their continued hard work as they make the transition from Division II to Division I.” Commissioner Thomas added, “The addition of NCCU keeps us in compliance with our long range strategic plan of adding up to 14 members. NCCU is a perfect fit for the MEAC.” NCCU is in the third year of its reclassification from NCAA Division II to Division I.

NCCU is one of seven founding member institutions of the MEAC. The Eagles withdrew from the conference in 1979, opting to remain a Division II member when the conference reclassified to Division I. From 19792007, NCCU competed in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). “This is a significant milestone in North Carolina Central University’s transition to Division I,” said NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms. “Membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a win-win proposition for our student-athletes, alumni and fans -- indeed, all our university constituents.”

NCCU SNAPS 23-YEAR SKID WITH CIAA TOURNAMENT TITLE When the Lady Eagles defeated Elizabeth City State on Saturday, March 3, 2007, they did something that no other Lady Eagles squad has done in 23 years ... win the CIAA Tournament title. It was even more special for this group considering it was their last chance to accomplish the feat, since NCCU will be competing as a Division I program during the 2007-08 season. LADY EAGLES FINISH ATOP FINAL BCSP BASKETBALL POLL NCCU finished tied with Coppin State University, atop the final Black College Sports Page (BCSP) rankings, to earn a share of the 2007 BCSP Women’s Basketball Black College National Championship. Head coach Joli Robinson, the CIAA Coach of the Year, guided NCCU to its first CIAA Tournament Championship in 23 years and school records in wins (26) and consecutive victories (19). The 2006-2007 squad was the fifth in school history to record 20 wins. For the second straight season, NCCU reached the regional semifinals of the NCAA Division II Tournament, with a 73-66 win over Newberry College. Just one week prior to the NCAA tournament win, the Lady Eagles, led by senior standout Cassie King, claimed the schools second CIAA Championship with a sound 89-72 victory over conference foe Elizabeth City State University. FOUR LADY EAGLES NAMED TO CIAA ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM NCCU placed four student-athletes on the 2007 CIAA All-Tournament Team, as freshman center Jori Nwachukwu, freshman guard Jasmine Newkirk, sophomore forward LaQuanda Williams and senior forward Cassie King all earned honors. King, who made the AllTournament Team in each of her four years, was also selected as the 2007 CIAA Tournament Most Valuable Player, and received her award from actress Vivica Fox. NCCU’S HISTORIC SCORING PROFICIENCY For the first time in NCCU women’s basketball history, four Lady Eagles scored more than 300 points in a single season. The only other team to have four Lady Eagles score 250 points or more was during
North Carolina Central University

NCCU’s 2000-01 campaign, when the Lady Eagles posted a record of 25-6. THREE LADY EAGLES EARN ALL-CIAA HONORS NCCU senior forward Cassie King, freshman forward Jori Nwachukwu and freshman guard Jasmine Newkirk were selected to the All-CIAA women’s basketball team. King, a 6-0 native of Wendell, N.C., earned her third consecutive selection to the All-CIAA Team. NCCU’S NWACHUKWU NAMED CIAA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR NCCU freshmen Jori Nwachukwu and Jasmine Newkirk were voted to the CIAA All-Rookie Team, as voted on by the CIAA-Sports Information Directors’ Association. Nwachukwu was voted as the conference’s top rookie, earning the CIAA Rookie of the Year award. She was a five-time CIAA Rookie of the Week honoree (Dec. 4, Dec. 11, Dec. 30, Feb. 5, Feb. 12). NCCU’S ROBINSON VOTED AS THE CIAA COACH OF THE YEAR NCCU head coach Joli Robinson was voted as the 2007 CIAA Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. Robinson, in her 11th season as the leader of the Lady Eagles, guided NCCU to a 26-6 overall record, the CIAA Tournament Championship crown, a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Regional playoffs, and the program’s highest-ever national ranking at No. 19 in the USA Today ESPN Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll. During her 11-year tenure at NCCU, Robinson has become the winningest head coach in Lady Eagle history with 181 victories. Her teams have accounted for all five 20-win campaigns in the 32-year history of women’s basketball at NCCU and have made four trips to the NCAA playoffs. This is Robinson’s third CIAA Coach of the Year honor, after earning the award in 1999 and 2001. She has also been selected as the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Division II District 3 Coach of the Year twice (2006, 2001).

HISTORIC SCORING NIGHT: Cassie King (March 1, 2005 - Raleigh, NC)
NCCU star scores 59, nets records in victory BY MIKE POTTER : The Herald-Sun Published: March 3, 2005 RALEIGH -- Cassie King has played some great basketball games for N.C. Central this season, but what she did Tuesday afternoon was the stuff of which legends are made. And everybody at the RBC Center for the Eagles’ hard-fought 8479 overtime victory over Bowie State in the quarterfinals of the CIAA Tournament agreed it was one of the most amazing things they had seen in a sports arena. King finished with 59 points -- the highest point total in NCAA women’s basketball this season, an NCCU single-game record and a CIAA women’s tournament record. She also had 13 rebounds as she and her teammates extended her sophomore season for at least one more game. But the soft-spoken 6-footer from Wendell and East Wake High seemed to take it all in stride. “I really don’t care much about [individual] records,” said King, who went 18-of-19 from the free-throw line and didn’t commit a foul or a turnover while being the only player in the game to be on the floor for 45 minutes. “I guess the thing I’m proudest of is the free throws,” King said. “We shoot about 100 free throws in practice every day, and it just worked out for me today.” King, who exceeded her previous career high by 27 points, had to fight off tough defense inside all afternoon as both teams played tenaciously without the ball. “It was very physical,” King said. “We knew they would be, especially [center Rachill Robinson]. She’s a good player, but we did a good job boxing her out and keeping her off the boards.” King’s performance ended the college career of Bowie State senior guard Allyson Hardy, the CIAA player of the year who tied the previous tournament record of 50 points in an easy win over St. Augustine’s last season. “It didn’t matter to me that she broke the record,” Hardy said. “I just wanted to win. “But 59 points? Hey, she deserves all of it. That’s what records are for, breaking. You can’t really be upset at anybody. I’m proud of her.” Proud, but not as proud as NCCU coach Joli Robinson, who saw King preview her record performance three days earlier when she scored 31 points including the game-tying jumper at the end of regulation in a 76-73 overtime win. “One thing I know about Cassie is that she’s a team player,” Robinson said. “She contributes to what the team does without thinking about herself so much.” King went into the game with 999 career points before surpassing about eight records and milestones of all sorts. “I’ll bet she didn’t even know she was about to score her 1,000th point,” Robinson said as King agreed. “I don’t read a lot,” King said. Perhaps King gets her modesty from her mother, Bernicine, who was at the RBC Center along with Cassie’s father, Johnnie. “I was watching her play and thinking, ‘That’s just Cassie,’” Bernicine said. “I never even look at stats until after the game’s over. I just knew she was playing hard and had a good game.” King’s teammates said they were just happy to be part of a win that included her historic performance. “I’m so proud of her,” junior center Shanté Collins said. “Oh my God, I’m so proud. I knew she could play like that, but to play like that for a whole game was really special.” Added junior guard Porschia Holmes: “59 points? That’s amazing. I’m still shocked.”

Former Elizabeth City State men’s coach and current faculty athletic representative Claudie Mackey saw the whole thing from press row, where he is part of a committee to select the all-tournament teams. “That was definitely one of the best performances in the history of our tournament,” Mackey said. “She’s just a sophomore, but she never gave in. She seemed to get stronger as the game progressed. “And the young lady she was competing with for the record [Hardy] was in the game, too. Both of them are great athletes.” Added Shaw athletics director Al Carter, who coached the men’s and women’s teams in the past: “She was just in a zone. In overtime, she took over.” Freshman guard Karla Gamble said she wasn’t so surprised to see King play at that level. “I believe she can play like that every game, I really do,” Gamble said. “She’s our scorer, and we did what we could to get her the ball. She really has a lot of determination to win.”

North Carolina Central University is competing in its third year of reclassification as an NCAA Division I institution (Football Championship Subdivision), and the Eagles will be playing as an independent during the 2008-09 athletics campaign.
L A D
Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I-FCS level. Men’s intercollegiate teams include football, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country.
Y
NCCU’s athletic programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years, headlined by the 1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship.
E
NCCU’s commitment to a balanced athletic program, providing equitable resources to all of its sports teams, is abundantly apparent. In five of the last eight years in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), NCCU claimed the Loretta Taylor All-Sports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women’s program in the conference.
A G L E S B A S K E T B A
In 2007-08, NCCU’s first season of Division I (FCS) competition, the women’s volleyball team kicked off the Division I era with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over N.C. State, then cruised to 21 victories, all against Division I opponents. The football team finished its first Division I season with a 6-4 record, the Eagles fourth straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross country teams each won four of their seven events. The men’s basketball team played one of the toughest schedules in the country, while traveling more than 22,000 miles and playing in 13 different states. The squad earned a road victory over the eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions and capped the season with a win over rival Winston-Salem State University at the MEAC Tournament. Finally, the track and field program won two events at the prestigious Penn Relays and qualified two student-athletes for the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston. In 2006-07, NCCU’s final season in the NCAA Division II, the Eagles placed 24th in the final standings of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, the prestigious award presented annually to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country.

HELP THE EAGLES WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS “Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participating in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of student-athletes.
L A D Y
How can you help the Eagles win? Follow the NCAA rules. The NCAA defines an institution as the University, its employees, its student-athletes, and its representatives of athletics interests, including parents, alumnus and fans. Therefore beware of the following: NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1
E A G L E S B A S K E T B A L L
In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or offcampus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians. A prospect is defined as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the student participates in athletics is not relevant to the classification as a prospect and neither is gender. Written or telephonic communications includes email, instant messaging, paging, video conferencing, faxing and text messaging. NCAA Bylaw 16.02.3 An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Unless you are willing to give a benefit to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a student-athlete or a prospect.
A SERVICE OF THE NCCU EAGLES ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT Office of Compliance NCAA rules inquiries may be directed to: Etienne H. Thomas Associate Director of Athletics/SWA (919) 530-7053 Marlynn R. Jones, Esq. Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance (919) 530-6725
