SAMPLE TEXT DIRECTOR NSU ATHLETICS Marty Miller has been called many things during his tenure at Norfolk State University. Some have called him a rock. Others have referred to him as one of Norfolk State’s greatest ambassadors. Regardless of the label, what’s clear is that Miller has served his alma mater in various capacities for nearly 40 years, providing NSU with stability in times of need. His professional career at Norfolk State has included stints in the areas of financial aid, career services, student affairs and athletics. After winning more than 700 games as the school’s baseball coach, Miller was named NSU’s acting athletics director on December 16, 2004. He was appointed to the permanent athletics director post on March 18, 2005. Early in Miller’s tenure, he was confronted with many challenges, the biggest one being the hiring of a football coach. Miller and his search committee worked during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to find a football coach. The hard work paid off when the decision was made to hire Pete Adrian from Bethune-Cookman. With approval of then-President Dr. Marie V. McDemmond, Adrian became the first white head coach in any major sport at NSU and the second ever in MEAC football history. Shortly thereafter, with help from alumni, fans, friends and the Department of Facilities Management, the athletics department was able to raise funds to renovate and purchase new equipment for the weight room. In 2007, the school completed a major renovation of the NSU Softball Field, which included the installation of new team dugouts and a press box. Bleacher renovations to Joseph Echols Hall were completed for the 200809 basketball season. A new track surface is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2010. Another highlight of his tenure as athletics director includes NSU capturing the last six Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports program in the conference. NSU has received a total of $145,000 for winning the awards. Miller was also presented in March 2006 with the Tom Fergusson Memorial Award, given annually to the area’s top sportsman by the Norfolk Sports Club. Miller is no stranger to winning. His career record as baseball coach was 718-543-3. Miller first started making a name for himself as a player at NSU from 1965-68. He hit .380 as a sophomore; .438 with eight doubles, two triples, three homers and 27 RBI as a junior; and .406 as a senior, when he became the first Spartan player to be named an NCAA College Division All-American. Miller was an All-CIAA baseball selection in 1967 and 1968, and led the nation in doubles in 1968. Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1969. An ROTC member in college, Miller was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army after he graduated. While on active duty, Miller was signed by the Minnesota Twins. Miller returned to his alma mater in 1972 as an assistant to baseball

coach Bob Andrews. The next season, Miller inherited the headcoaching job, which he held until early in 2005. Miller is the winningest baseball coach in CIAA history, having led the Spartans to a 584-374-3 record in their years in the league. Miller’s ledger in the CIAA includes 17 conference championships, including seven in a row from 1987-93; 12 post-season appearances; 15 CIAA Coach of the Year awards; six All-Americans and 22 players signed to pro contracts. He also won the 1980 NAIA District 19 Coach of the Year award after his team won the District 19 title. Between 1993-97, Miller won five consecutive Louisville Slugger Awards, given to championship coaches. He was one of a select few baseball coaches to receive the award for five consecutive years. In 1997, NSU honored Miller by building the Marty L. Miller Baseball Field. One year later, Miller led NSU to the MEAC Tournament championship round in the Spartans’ first year in the league. He was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2000, and NSU reached the championship round again in 2001. The year 2003 was also a special one for Miller. In February, Miller was inducted into the CIAA’s John B. McLendon Hall of Fame. In May, Miller earned his 700th career win with the Spartans when sixth-seeded NSU upset No. 2 Delaware State in the MEAC tournament. In August, Miller the player was honored as one of eight inductees into the Norfolk State University Athletics Foundation Sports Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in November 2010. Miller, a native of Danville, Va., serves on the Norfolk Sports Club Board of Directors and serves as its president for 2011. Miller was also elected to serve on the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court beginning in 2009. He and his wife Liz have one son, Marty Eric, a former NSU outfielder.

ABOUT NSU
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY
The Institution of Choice Norfolk State University was founded in 1935 as a beacon of hope to the region’s youth. Brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, Norfolk State was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University at its founding. By 1969, Norfolk State began its status as an independent college and was designated a university in 1979. Today, the University remains a source of inspiration for those who aspire to fulfill their dreams. A four-year public institution, Norfolk State is located in the dynamic Hampton Roads region and is close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and downtown Norfolk. NSU has an enrollment of nearly 7,000 students. A Strong Academic Profile NSU recently received reaffirmation of its accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Ga. 30033-4097, 404-6794501) which is effective through 2018. In addition, the College of Science, Engineering and Technology also was awarded accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. The School of Business received reaffirmation of accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, International and the School of Education received continuing accreditation from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Additionally, the National Collegiate Athletic Association recertified Norfolk State’s intercollegiate athletics programs for NCAA accreditation, effective February 2009 for a 10-year period. The certification means that Norfolk State is considered to be operating under the principles adopted by the NCAA’s Division I membership. Norfolk State’s Athletics program is experiencing unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level. Athletes are competitive on the field of play and in the classroom. During the academic year, NSU recognized more than 60 young men and women who were inducted into the Athletics All-Academic Team for 2008-2009. To qualify, the scholar-athletes had to have a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4 point scale. This team includes first-year and continuing students and represents all 15 of the department’s sports programs. From 2005-2010, NSU athletics has won the last six MEAC Men’s All-Sports Awards (Talmadge Layman Hill Award) and earned the department $125,000 during that period. Norfolk State University is also one of the top 50 producers of African-American Ph.D. recipients, according to Inside Higher Ed. The finding, based on a National Science Foundation report, says that Historically Black Colleges and Universities are graduating a growing share of African Americans who go onto earn Ph.D.s in science and engineering. Norfolk State’s Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS) is specifically geared towards increasing the number of Ph.D.s in science, engineering, technology and mathematics. The program has been in place since 1986. More than 50 percent of DNIMAS scholars have earned advanced degrees. Moving Forward Norfolk State is making the right changes to provide the best learning and living experiences for its students. The University is in the midst of $80 million worth of capital improvements. Projects just completed, underway, or in the pipeline include the 84,500 squarefoot New Student Center was completed in August of 2009; a new library and a new classroom building.

ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS

Nor folk State University
Athletics Five-Year Highlights (2005-Present) The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experienced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past five years (2005-10). This period of progress has been highlighted by improvements in virtually every area critical to transforming the NSU athletics program into a highly competitive program that will consistently challenge for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and NCAA Division I championships. The catalyst for these advancements has been Marty Miller, who was appointed athletics director at NSU in December 2004. Miller believes that the mission of the athletics program is an extension of the mission of Norfolk State University. He places an emphasis on areas that impact the welfare of student-athletes. Improving graduation rates, gender equity, and the retention of student-athletes are equally, if not more important, than winning conference and national championships. However, the initiatives designed to enhance the student-athlete experience and improve the overall administrative process have been successful due to the achievements of the teams and individual athletes. Perhaps the biggest achievement came in early 2009, when the athletics department was recertified to receive NCAA accreditation for the next 10 years. By achieving certification status, NSU is considered to be operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA’s Division I membership. Numerous staff and coaching hires have been made to enhance the department’s efficacy. New personnel have been hired in the areas of academic support, compliance, business operations and development to meet the growing demand in those departments. A host of new head coaches joined the staff signaling new beginnings in several sports. They included Pete Adrian (Football), Claudell Clark (Baseball), Anthony Evans (Men’s Basketball), Heidi Cavallo (Softball), and Wilhelmenia Harrison (Bowling). Kenneth Giles (Men’s Track) and Ronda Berard (Women’s Track) were promoted from interim to full-time head coaches in their respective sports. Giles’ cross country and track teams have dominated the MEAC. Adrian has orchestrated the steady progress of the football team, which came within a game of capturing its first MEAC title in 2007. Evans led the Spartans to the MEAC Tournament championship game in his second year. Clark and Cavallo helped guide their teams to runner-up finishes at the MEAC championships in their respective sports in 2008. Harrison guided the bowling team to its first MEAC Southern Division regular-season championship in 2008-09 and the No. 19 national ranking in 2009-10. The accomplishments of NSU student-athletes in the classroom since 2005 have been equally impressive. The number of athletes annually named to the MEAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team has steadily increased, and now numbers 40 or more each year.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW Norfolk State University’s proud legacy of achievement in collegiate athletics began at the NCAA Division II level as a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). NSU was one of the league’s most dominant programs, winning championships in every sport the school offered. In 1997, NSU joined the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), one of only two NCAA Division I conferences comprised of historically black colleges and universities. Other conference members include: Bethune-Cookman College, Coppin State College, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University. NSU made an immediate impression in the conference in 2000-01, winning the Talmadge Hill Award – presented annually to the member whose men’s teams compile the most points based on team finishes in conference competition. The Spartans won the Talmadge Hill Award again each year from 2005-10. In all, NSU has won conference titles in men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s cross country, and women’s basketball during its brief tenure in the MEAC.
Why Support Norfolk State University Athletics? • NSU competes at the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletics competition – National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I - and is a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). • The need to increase funding for scholarships for deserving studentathletes motivated by achievement both in athletics and academics. • Improvements and maintenance of equipment and facilities that will enable NSU student-athletes to perform at their full potential. • A competitive athletics program of the highest quality is consistent with the institution’s emergence an the “Institution of Choice.” • A competitive athletics program contributes to the enjoyment of the student-athlete experience.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING The NSU Strength and Conditioning Program is administered by Reese Bridgman, NSU’s strength and conditioning coach. Bridgman has 26 years of coaching experience in athletics at the high school, college and professional levels. His resume includes a seven-year stint as head strength and conditioning coach at Central Florida, where he worked with future professionals such as Daunte Culpepper, Asante Samuel and Brandon Marshall of the NFL and Mike Maroth of Major League Baseball. The NSU Strength and Conditioning Program exists to provide all 280+ NSU student-athletes with scientificallysound performance-enhancement programs in the areas of strength, speed, explosive power and sports nutrition. Programs are conducted in the NSU athletics weight room, a 2,000-square foot facility in Gill Gymnasium that houses the equipment and accessories needed to develop championship-level NCAA Division I athletes. The strength and conditioning program also uses the NSU athletics department’s game and practice fields. The program develops athletes by means of functional strength training for strength and power utilizing Olympic lifts, power lifts, plyometric drills and additional supplementary lifts, particularly dumbbell exercises. The program trains speed in both linear and change-of-direction movement. Athletes are taught recovery by developing good eating habits that are appropriate for athletes training at the Division I level and by emphasizing the correct amount of rest. Athletes are trained in a team setting as a part of a year-round program. Athletes train two times per week in season and three to four times per week during the remainder of the year with a break between semesters and at the end of their sport’s season. Their annual plan consists of in-season, offseason, preseason and holiday programs. All training schedules are administered within NCAA guidelines for contact time with athletes in both

required programs and voluntary programs. Part of the emphasis within the NSU Strength and Conditioning Program is on the athlete developing lifetime character qualities of teamwork, discipline, dedication, determination, respect for others and respect for hard work. Athletes are also expected to develop an interest in lifetime fitness. “The Strength and Conditioning Program at NSU tries to remember that our athletes came to us to participate in and excel in their given sport, not to become weight lifters or body builders,” Bridgman says. “For this reason, we approach strength and conditioning as a means to an end, and we encourage our athletes to learn from and enjoy the journey.”

HEAD COACH CLAUDELL CLARK Claudell Clark is in his seventh season as head coach of the Norfolk State University baseball program. After serving as interim head coach for two seasons, Clark was named to the permanent post in the summer of 2006.
Claudell Clark Head Coach
Clark has led NSU to two MEAC Tournament championship appearances in his tenure. The Spartans have recorded 116 wins over his last five seasons as head coach, posting five straight 20+ win seasons for the first time since the program moved to the Division I level in 1998.
Last season, the Spartans finished 2129-1 and finished one victory shy of the MEAC Tournament championship round. In 2009, NSU finished 22-23 and won a pair of games in the MEAC Tournament. Along the way, Clark picked up his 100th career coaching win in April against Delaware State. NSU finished the season second in the MEAC with a .312 batting average, the highest mark in Clark’s first five seasons. In 2008, NSU notched the school’s first winning season since 2000, finishing 25-24. The 25 wins matched the program’s most since joining Division I, tying the 2007 team that went 25-25. The Spartans advanced all the way to the MEAC Tournament championship round last year before falling to Bethune-Cookman. They did it thanks largely to a dependable pitching staff. NSU ranked first in the MEAC and 22nd in the nation in earned run average (4.07). Former Spartan pitcher Joey Seal, who broke Clark’s school record for career strikeouts last year, gained the program national distinction by being selected for the initial Roger Clemens Award watch list for the national pitcher of the year award. Seal also became the first Spartan in the school’s Division I history to be selected as national pitcher of the week.
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
coach and current athletics director Marty Miller, Clark and the Spartans overcame a slow start to advance to the MEAC Tournament championship round. The Spartans defeated six-time defending MEAC champion Bethune-Cookman twice en route to the championship round, where the Spartans fell to top seed North Carolina A&T 10-9. Clark helped a Spartans’ pitching staff comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores to the second-best earned-run average in the MEAC in 2005. Clark was an assistant coach under Miller for two seasons prior taking over as head coach. Clark had a distinguished career as a pitcher and outfielder at NSU from 1998-2001. He was the MEAC Pitcher of the Year in 2000, when he went 7-3 with a 3.05 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 76.2 innings pitched. Clark was also the MEAC Tournament MVP in 2001, when he led the Spartans to the championship round. He was NSU’s Most Improved Player in 2000, and was the team MVP in 2000 and 2001. Clark earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from NSU in 2001. He ranks in the top 10 all-time at NSU in strikeouts, innings pitched, wins, decisions and appearances. He is the school recordholder in strikeouts per nine innings (9.9) and strikeouts in a single season (92 in 2000) and ranks second in career strikeouts (249). He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 28th round of the 2001 draft. He spent time with the Bradenton (Fla.) Pirates in rookie ball and the Class-A Williamsport (Pa.) Crosscutters. In 2001, Clark led all Williamsport pitchers in lowest opponents’ batting average (.176) as the Crosscutters won the New York-Penn League championship. After an injury cut short his baseball career, Clark returned to his native Chesapeake, where he still resides today.
The Spartans have fared well outside of the conference in recent seasons. Last year, the Spartans picked up wins over Georgetown of the Big East, cross-town foe Old Dominion of the CAA and Mount St. Mary’s of the Northeast Conference. In 2009, NSU’s notable regularseason wins included a series victory (two out of three) over Hofstra of the CAA. In 2007 and 2008, the Spartans split four games with ODU. Also in 2007, NSU earned its first-ever series win over a Big East team, taking two of three from Seton Hall, and its first-ever sweep of an Atlantic 10 team when it took three straight games from St. Joseph’s. That Spartans’ team featured first baseman Ernie Banks, who was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft. In 2006, Clark guided the program to a 23-28 record. The Spartans tallied the most wins in their nine-year MEAC history, finishing 11-7 and placing second in the conference regular-season standings. The Spartans showed continued improvement under Clark, ranking first in the MEAC in batting (.302), second in earned run average (4.60), and third in fielding percentage (.944). After taking over four games into the 2005 season from long-time

ASSISTANT COACHES
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE Joey Seal is in his second season as a student assistant this season. He primarily works with the pitching staff.
A.J. Corbin is in his seventh year on the Norfolk State University baseball coaching staff. He coaches the infielders and helps with hitting instruction, recruiting, game and field preparation, and administrative tasks.
A.J. Corbin Assistant Coach
Spartan hitters have earned 18 AllMEAC selections since Corbin took over as an assistant coach. Two of those players, Ernie Banks (Florida Marlins draftee) and Juan Serrano (independent), have reached the professional ranks.
Last season, the NSU hitters posted a .308 team batting average, third-best in the MEAC. Eight Spartans batted over .300 and three ranked in the conference’s top 20 in hitting. The 2009 Spartans hit .312 as a team, which ranked second in the MEAC and is the best team average NSU has posted under Corbin’s guidance. NSU ranked third in the MEAC in batting in 2007 (.289). In 2006, the Spartan hitters led the MEAC in hitting at a .302 clip. That marked an improvement of 65 percentage points over the previous year. Corbin made a name for himself as a versatile player at NSU under former coach Marty Miller from 2001-04. Corbin played every position but center field during his Spartan career, but saw most of his time on the mound and at first base. He ranks in the top 10 in school history in games played (185, second), at-bats (614, third), doubles (38, seventh), runs batted in (121, tied for seventh) and home runs (17, tied for eighth).
Joey Seal Student Assistant
Seal enjoyed his best season as a senior in 2008, when he went 7-4 with a 3.69 ERA in 97.2 innings pitched as the Spartans’ No. 1 starting pitcher. He helped pitch the Spartans to the MEAC Tournament championship round that season for the second time in his four-year career. Also in 2008, Seal was named to the watch list for the Roger Clemens Award, given annually to the top pitcher in the nation. Seal was also selected the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Pitcher of the Week after pitching a school-record 11 scoreless innings in a no-decision against Lafayette. Seal, a Newport News, Va. native, is completing his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies this year.
Drew Suttmiller is in his first season as a student assistant this season with NSU. He helps work with the infielders and with hitting instruction.
Corbin batted .279 for his career and had a 4.12 ERA in 32 pitching appearances. He was named to the MEAC All-Tournament Team as a junior and senior, leading the Spartans in home runs in both seasons. He was also named to the first team Black College Baseball Elite squad as a relief pitcher his senior year. A native of Gloucester, Va., Corbin earned his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies from NSU in 2004. He is currently pursuing his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix. Corbin and his wife, Tilya, reside in Norfolk.
As a four-year standout pitcher for the Spartans from 2005-08, Seal’s fingerprints are all over the NSU record book. Seal completed his career as the school’s all-time leader in innings pitched (334), strikeouts (269) and appearances (78). Seal was a secondteam All-MEAC selection as a relief pitcher as a junior in 2007, when he recorded four saves and fanned 75 hitters in 84 innings.
Drew Suttmiller Student Assistant
Suttmiller played two years at shortstop for the Spartans (200910) after transferring from Allegany College in Maryland. Suttmiller played in 71 games in his NSU career, starting 68. He batted .301 over his time as a Spartan with 11 doubles, four triples and 37 RBI. Suttmiller batted .314 as a junior in 2009, and .277 in an injury-shortened senior campaign in 2010.
Suttmiller, a Chesapeake native, is completing requirements toward his bachelor’s degree in business this year.

Deep Lineup Carries Spartans into 2011 It’s not often that a baseball coach at any level can boast eight starting position players who hit better than .300. But that’s exactly the luxury that Norfolk State baseball coach Claudell Clark has heading into the 2011 season. Last year, the Spartans batted .308 as a team, the third-best mark in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Eight of NSU’s nine primary position players topped the .300 plateau, and all eight return to the Spartans this season. Clark is hoping that that firepower, which includes many of the team’s 10 seniors, will carry the Spartans while a young, but talented pitching staff finds its groove. Leading the way is a trio of seniors who will be entering their fourth seasons as starters: third baseman Chris Joyce, right fielder John Lynch and first baseman Brandon Hairston. Joyce and Lynch enter the season within striking distance of a number of school records. Hairston, meanwhile, was the team’s leading home run hitter last year with eight.
man/DH Hunter Kenney (Culpeper, Va.). Kenney adds another powerful left-handed bat to the lineup. Senior Juan Herrera (.233, 1 HR) has experience playing second, shortstop and DH in his career. First-year sophomore shortstop Kevin Curd also has the reputation of being a dangerous hitter and could factor into the mix on the left side of the infield. OUTFIELD While Joyce is likely to surpass the school record for hits in a career, it is very possible that Lynch will get there first. Lynch, who has hit anywhere from lead-off to the sixth spot in NSU’s order over his career, has 189 career hits, six ahead of Joyce. Lynch was also a first-team All-MEAC performer last year, when he batted .364 with five homers, 34 RBI and 27 stolen bases. Lynch also turned heads with his nine outfield assists, one of the top marks in the nation.
They are three of 20 returning letterwinners for the Spartans this year. Following is a position-by-position breakdown of the team heading into the 2011 season:
Lynch is one-third of an all-senior outfield which features a trio of returning starters. TiQuan Griffin started 31 games last year, 28 in center field. He rebounded from a slow start to bat .302 on the season with six doubles, two triples and six stolen bases. He is one of NSU’s faster players.
INFIELD Joyce, a first-team All-MEAC performer, paced the Spartans and ranked fifth in the MEAC with a .380 batting average in 2010. His 23 doubles led the MEAC and established a school record, and he also led NSU with 42 RBI. Assuming he stays healthy, Joyce is a good bet to surpass the school’s career hits mark of 226, owned by Andrew Dixon (1983-86).
Senior left fielder John Rasberry is also back in the fold. The former junior college transfer made a splash in his first year at NSU in 2010. Rasberry batted lead-off much of the year and didn’t disappoint. He batted .307 with 11 doubles, three homers and 31 RBI. Rasberry stole 17 bases in 20 attempts, secondbest on the squad behind Lynch.
Hairston was another key cog in NSU’s lineup. He batted .326 with 15 doubles, eight homers and 36 RBI last year from the left side of the plate. He had a pair of two-homer games as a junior. Sophomore Sammy Serafine returns to man second base for NSU. Serafine batted .339 as a freshman in 2010. He was especially productive over the final month of the season, culminating in his MEAC All-Tournament Team selection. NSU’s lone hole to fill from last year’s batting and defensive lineup is at shortstop, where both Ryan Wiggins (.274 average) and Drew Suttmiller (.277) completed their eligibility. The likely candidate to replace them is junior college transfer Rafael Colon (Bridgeport, Conn.), who played two years at Patrick Henry Community College in Martinsville. Colon hit .333 as a sophomore. The Spartans have a number of key returning reserves in the infield who should push for playing time. At first base, senior Blaze Zeilman (.163 in 2010) and sophomore Shane Hoggard (.204) return. Either could spell Hairston at first base or serve as designated hitter. Clark is also high on the abilities of another Patrick Henry Community College transfer, junior first base-
20
Sophomore James Taylor also has starting experience. He started 23 games in center field last year and four at DH during his rookie season. Taylor stole 10 bases, scored 17 runs and batted .247. He was also one of the more patient Spartans, walking 18 times and compiling a .407 on-base percentage. The Spartans also stockpiled plenty of young talent in the offseason with the addition of three freshman outfielders. Cameron Day (Virginia Beach, Va.), Tyon Ore (Norfolk, Va.) and Chase Kyriacou (Virginia Beach, Va) have the physical tools to help right away or serve as capable backups behind the Spartans’ more experience outfielders. Walk-on M.J. Wells (Nelson County, Va.) adds depth. PITCHERS The 2011 Spartan pitching staff figures to be a young, but talented bunch. NSU did lose the services of 2010 seniors Jason Barker and Chase Davenport. They tied for the team-lead with four pitching wins, and both pitched more than 79 innings last season. The Spartans’ most experienced returner is junior right hander Ryan Shook, who was named to the All-MEAC second team as a reliever in 2010. Shook tied Barker and Davenport for team-high honors with four wins. Shook also saved six games,

one shy of the single-season school record. He even proved capable of serving as a starter late in the season, and could be used in either role.
The season starts with four straight home games against Big East teams. NSU hosts Villanova for a three-game series Feb. 1820, then Georgetown visits for a mid-week game on Feb. 23.
Sophomore Richie Salter should serve as one of the Spartans’ top weekend starting pitchers this season. Limited for much of the year due to an injury sustained in the preseason, Salter made just three appearances in 2010. He won both games he started and registered a 1.20 ERA in 15 innings pitched. Included among his two victories was a complete-game win against Delaware State in a MEAC Tournament elimination game.
The Spartans have a three-game series at future MEAC opponent Savannah State on Feb. 26-27 before returning home to begin the March slate against two teams from the Colonial Athletic Association. Defending CAA champion Virginia Commonwealth visits Marty L. Miller Field for a mid-week game on March 1, then Hofstra visits for a pair of doubleheaders on March 5-6. After a mid-week road trip to face Longwood (March 8), the Spartans host Penn State of the Big Ten in a four-game set from March 11-13.
Senior Ryan Davis, junior Kyle Davis, and sophomores Raymond Morton and Jordan Egan also return to the squad this season. The Davis brothers and Morton all served as key relievers out of the NSU bullpen in 2010, while Egan made eight starts and nine appearances in relief. Egan and Morton will be considered for starting roles this season. Five NSU freshmen are also expected to see time on the mound: left hander Ryan VanAssche and right handers Kyriacou, Jeff Di Fulgo, Justin Bhatti and Jason Ellington. VanAssche and Bhatti are candidates to start, but can also throw extended innings out of the bullpen. Kyriacou, Di Fulgo and Ellington are likely to see most of their work in relief. CATCHER NSU welcomes back all three players who caught every inning for the team last season in senior Cameron Parsons, junior Chris Warren and sophomore Ryan Montgomery. Parsons led those three with a .333 batting average, a jump of nearly 100 points over his sophomore year at NSU. Warren was the primary backup last season and also got the majority of the designated hitter starts down the stretch. He finished the season with a .309 average and drove in 21 runs. Montgomery played in 19 games, starting eight. He homered once and had two doubles in his limited at-bats. Montgomery can also fill in at third base in a pinch, as well. SCHEDULE The 2011 baseball schedule is a challenging one. The Spartans play 34 home games at Marty L. Miller Field, including contests with teams from the Big East, Big Ten, Ivy League and Colonial Athletic Association and MEAC series with defending champion Bethune-Cookman and rival North Carolina A&T. The schedule also features a second annual exhibition matchup against the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, at Harbor Park in early April. “We are fortunate to have so many home games against quality opponents early in the season to prepare our ball club for a tough conference stretch,” Clark said. “Having 34 home games also gives our team great exposure to our local fan base and will be key to attracting local talent to the program.”

Penn of the Ivy League comes to Norfolk for a pair of doubleheaders on the weekend of March 19-20. Next, NSU will host William & Mary in a mid-week game on March 23. The Spartans’ last March weekend series represents the start of MEAC play. Long-time nemesis North Carolina A&T comes to Marty L. Miller Field for a three-game set March 26-27. NSU concludes its March schedule in a return game at William & Mary on March 30. That begins a nine-game road swing for the Spartans, their longest stretch away from home during the season. NSU hits the road for a three-game MEAC series at Coppin State on April 2-3. Next, NSU faces the Norfolk Tides in an exhibition game at Harbor Park on April 5. The teams met for the first time last year, with more than 8,500 fans attending. The very next night, NSU meets cross-town foe Old Dominion at ODU. The same weekend, the Spartans conclude their road swing with a three-game MEAC series at Maryland Eastern Shore (April 9-10). The Spartans then return home for their next four games, starting on April 12 against Virginia State and continuing April 16-17 against Bethune-Cookman. After a road game at Georgetown on April 19, NSU is home for two straight weekends, facing Delaware State (April 22-23) and Savannah State (April 29-30). NSU has seven games in May before postseason play begins. The Spartans wrap up their home-and-home series with VCU on May 4 in Richmond, then conclude MEAC play at Florida A&M on May 7-8. The regular season wraps up with a threegame home series against Longwood, May 14-15. The 2011 MEAC Tournament will be held at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach, Fla., for the third straight year. The tournament runs May 19-22. “This will be one of the toughest Division I schedules that we have faced,” Clark said. “But I feel confident that with 10 seniors and a number of other talented returners, we will be up to the challenge.”

MARTY L. MILLER FIELD
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
In 1997, Marty L. Miller Baseball Field debuted as the home for Spartan baseball. It is named after former coach and current athletics director Marty Miller, who has spent more than 40 years as a player, coach and administrator at NSU. The field itself is located off Presidential Parkway on the NSU campus. It has metal bleacher seating for 1,500, as well as a spacious press box for game staff and working media. It also has full stadium lighting for night games, one of the few colleges with that distinction in Virginia. The playing surface is enclosed by cyclone fencing, has an underground drainage system, a gravel warning track, and enclosed bullpens for both teams. The dimensions are 330 feet to left field, 318 to right, 395 to the gaps, and 402 to center field. A giant scoreboard sits behind the center-field wall. In addition to numerous youth clinics and youth baseball games, Miller Field also hosted three consecutive MEAC Baseball Tournaments from 2006-08.

BASEBALL BOOSTER CLUB
The NSU Baseball Booster Club was founded in 1998 with the mission of providing supplemental funding and support for the Spartans’ baseball team. Founded by Claude and Ives Clark, parents of current Spartan head coach Claudell Clark, the booster club was the first on-campus booster organization at NSU to work directly with one sport. The booster club conducts numerous activities during the year aimed at increasing its membership and raising funds for the NSU baseball program. Annual projects include the baseball booster club cookout,
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
golf tournament and NSU baseball alumni game. Other fundraisers include the 50/50 raffle during home games, the sale of T-shirts, coupon books and game concessions and the collection of annual membership dues. The club meets at Marty L. Miller Field on the first Saturday of each month that school is in session. For more information on how to join the NSU Baseball Booster Club, call (757) 676-3082.

ABOUT THE MEAC The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) is in its 41st year of operation in 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. 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. 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 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. 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 19721983 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.
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE ship and junior Marvin “The Human Eraser” Webster was named the Division II Player of the Year. The 1981 tournament champion Howard Bison became the first MEAC team to play in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship. Coppin State and Hampton made history in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament with first-round victories. The No. 15 seeded Coppin State defeated No. 2 South Carolina in 1997 and No. 15 seeded Hampton defeated No. 2 Iowa State in 2001. Both victories ranked among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all-time by ESPN’s SportsCenter. In women’s basketball, South Carolina State won the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division II National Championship in 1979. In 1982, Howard became the first MEAC women’s team to participate in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship. South Carolina State earned the conference’s bid in 1983 and became the first MEAC team, men or women, to win an opening-round game in the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament. The No. 14 North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies faced No.3 Florida State in the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. The 14th seed was the highest seed earned by a MEAC women’s basketball program since the inception of the 64-team bracket in 1994. The Lady Aggies defeated Wake Forest and Charlotte before falling to Miami in the third round of the 2010 Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). North Carolina A&T became the first MEAC team and historical black college/university to win two consecutive basketball games in a national postseason tournament. In football, the MEAC was instrumental in constructing the Freedom Bowl All-Star Classic, the Heritage Bowl, and the Gold Bowl. Prior to Division I competition, the MEAC competed in the Gold Bowl held in Richmond, Va., which matched the MEAC champion against the champion of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). South Carolina State represented the MEAC in 1976 and 1979, winning both outings over Winston-Salem State and Norfolk State respectively. In addition to the 1976 and 1979 crowns, South Carolina State won MEAC football titles in 1974-78, 1980-83, 1994, 2004, 2008 and 2009. During the 1981 and 1982 seasons they reached the second round of the I-AA championships. In outdoor track and field, North Carolina Central won the first three MEAC outdoor titles and finished fourth in the 1974 NCAA Division I Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship. NCCU’s Larry Black was a member of the 1972 Olympic 400-meter relay team that won the gold medal. He won the silver medal in the 200-meter dash. MEAC women began outdoor track and field conference competition in 1980. In 1982, South Carolina State won the AIAW Division II Outdoor Track and Field National Championship. The MEAC has showcased over 27 athletes in the Olympics and 11 have earned medals during the Summer Games. In 2003, Florida A&M became the first MEAC school to win a volleyball match in the NCAA Championship, with a first-round win over Winthrop. In 2004, the Lady Rattlers became the first historically black college/university to rank in the Top 25 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) national poll. South Carolina State’s women’s tennis team earned the conference’s first Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) ranking in a 2005 final poll reaching a No. 72 ranking. In softball, Bethune-Cookman earned the conference’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Softball Championship in 2005. The Lady Wildcats defeated Florida, Central Florida and South Florida in the Florida Regional to become the first MEAC school to win a NCAA Division I Softball Regional. Bethune-Cookman ended the 2005 season with the conferences’ first-ever rankings in the final softball polls, reaching No. 18 in the NFCA/ USA Today Coaches poll and No. 23 in the USA Softball/ESPN.com Poll. Florida A&M was the first MEAC baseball team to advance to NCAA postseason play in 1994. The Rattlers took on Southeastern Louisiana in a best of three play-in series, falling after two games, 11-10 and 8-7. During the 2002 campaign, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats advanced to the Gainesville Regional and became the first MEAC team to win in the NCAA Tournament with a 7-4 victory over Florida International. The Wildcats had previously lost to Florida in their first game 13-1 and were eliminated from the regional with a 21-10 loss in their second matchup against the Gators.
SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS The MEAC has enjoyed tremendous athletic success over the years. In 2008, Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) defeated Arkansas State 4-2 to win the NCAA Women’s Bowling National Championship, a first for the conference and institution. With the victory, Lady Hawks’ head coach Sharon Brummell became the first female head coach to win a NCAA bowling title. In men’s basketball, UMES became the first historical black college/university to participate in the 1974 National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The Hawks defeated Manhattan, 84-81, in the first round before falling to Jacksonville by two points in the second round. Before the Jacksonville loss UMES had the best record in the nation at 27-1. That same year, Morgan State won the NCAA College Division II National Champion-
