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.

Marty Miller His professional career at Director of Athletics 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 BethuneCookman. 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 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 2008-09 basketball season. A new track surface was completed in the summer of 2010.

Another highlight of his tenure as athletics director includes NSU capturing the last seven Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports program in the conference.

NSU has received a total of $165,000 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-Ameri-

can. 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 head-coaching 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.

Miller was inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also chosen to serve in March 2011 to serve on the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame Committee and is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court.

Miller, a native of Danville, Va., also serves as president of the Norfolk Sports Club. He and his wife Liz have one son, Marty Eric, a former NSU outfielder.

ABOUT NSU

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Norfolk State University was founded in 1935 as a beacon of hope to the region’s youth—especially within the African American community. Brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, the university was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University at its founding and was one of the last historically black institutions established in the Commonwealth of Virginia. By 1969, Norfolk State University began its transformation into a vibrant, independent college and was bestowed university status in 1979.

More than 75 years later, the University remains a source of inspiration for those who aspire to fulfill their dreams. A four-year public institution, NSU is located in the dynamic Hampton Roads region of Virginia and is close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and downtown Norfolk.

Additionally, NSU is one of the nation’s largest HBCUs with an enrollment of nearly 7,000 students and a faculty of nearly 300, with more than half holding terminal degrees.

The University offers a variety of academic programs within the following schools and colleges: College of Liberal Arts; the College of Science, Engineering and Technology; the Honors College; the School of Business; the School of Education; the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work; the School of Extended Learning; and the Graduate School. NSU offers 32 undergraduate, 16 master’s and three doctoral degrees.

Expanding Learning Capacity Norfolk State University has been recognized as one of the top 25 producers of cyber security professionals, according to US Black Engineer and Information Technology Magazine. Additionally, the University has also been named in recent years as 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 on to earn Ph.D.s in science and engineering.

NSU’s Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS), established in 1985, is specifically geared toward increasing the number of Ph.D.s in science technology, engineering, and mathematics. More than 50 percent of DNIMAS scholars have earned advanced degrees.

Norfolk State University also has been named a “military friendly school,” which means that the university is successful at offering the necessary financial benefits, flexibility in scheduling and support programs to service members. Most recently, the university entered into an agreement with the U.S. Navy to provide the bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies through the Navy College Program Distance Learning Partnership coordinated through the School of Extended Learning.

The Navy’s distance learning program is vital in providing sailors with the best possible options for obtaining higher educational degrees wherever they may be assigned. Now, sailors may apply to Norfolk State University to obtain a degree in interdisciplinary studies in an online environment.

Our School of Extended Learning expertly places the convenience of the digital age at the fingertips of learners. The School works with the academic and administrative units of the University by serving as an extension of the NSU campus. It offers coursework through distance education, continuing education and certificate programs. Additional degree programs include Master of Arts degrees in Pre-Elementary Education, Elementary Education (Pre-K-6), Pre-Elementary Early Education with an emphasis on Childhood Special Education and Urban Education, as well as graduate certificates in Transition Special Education and Bilingual Special Education.

Building for the Future The University is building for the future with the construction of a three-story, 132,000-square-foot library that will house library services, archives and a 24/7 Internet café, individual and group study rooms, a multimedia project room, virtual conference room, a 24-hour study area, exercise equipment, and an African art gallery. One of the new library’s distinguishing features is a 90-foot high glass atrium that will provide

6

areas to display current student and faculty artwork, and also serve as a gathering area for multi-purpose events. The new library will provide the latest technology and create an exciting study and research environment for students. Upon completion in December 2011, the library will also reshape the look of the campus. The old library will be razed and a beautiful quadrangular pedestrian mall between the new library and the New Student Center will be created.

From the days of the Great Depression to the Digital Age, Norfolk State University continues to achieve. Today, NSU remains an active and vital component of the Hampton Roads region, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation. Our faculty researchers have forged partnerships that have created cutting-edge virtual learning environments and the world’s smallest laser - both of which will have an impact on our everyday lives. Our graduates establish and lead corporations, distinguish themselves in their industries and fields of study and provide humanitarian aid around the world.

Norfolk State University has played a vital role in our community in the past, is serving in a critical role today, and will continue to be an academic leader in the future.

Behold the Green and Gold!

NSU ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Nor folk State University

Athletics Six-Year Highlights (2005-Present) The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experienced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past six years (2005-11). 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), Debra Clark (Women’s Basketball), Heidi Cavallo (Softball), Brandon Duvall (Volleyball), 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, and Claudell Clark helped guide the baseball team to a runner-up finish at the MEAC Championships in 2008 and 2011.

Harrison was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010-11 after leading the bowling team to MEAC Southern Division regular-season for the second time in three years. Duvall was also named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after guiding NSU to its best overall and MEAC record in Division I, while Cavallo led the Spartans to a D-I best 13-game win streak in 2011.

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 University, Coppin State University, 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 T almadge Hill Award again each year from 2005-11. In all, NSU has won conference titles in football, men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s cross country, and men’s and women’s basketball during its brief tenure in the MEAC.

Why Support Norfolk State University Athletics?

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING The NSU Strength and Conditioning Program is administered by Reese Bridgman, NSU’s strength and conditioning coach. Bridgman has 27 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 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.”

MARTY L. MILLER FIELD

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 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 and will be the site for the conference tournament again from 2012-2014.

COACH CLAUDELL CLARK Claudell Clark is in his eighth 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 three MEAC Tournament championship appearances in his tenure (2005, 2008 and 2011).

The Spartans have recorded 140 wins over his last six seasons as head coach, posting six straight 20+ win seasons for the first time since the program moved to the Division I level in 1998.

Last season, NSU won seven of its final 10 ballgames to finish with a 24-29 record. The Spartans advanced to the MEAC Tournament championship round for the third time under Clark before falling to Bethune-Cookman. Along the way, NSU picked up a pair of wins over Big East schools (Villanova and Georgetown), defeated Penn State of the Big 10, and swept a doubleheader from Hofstra of the CAA, continuing the Spartans’ strong showing in recent years against non-conference opponents.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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) and second in earned run average (4.60).

After taking over four games into the 2005 season from long-time 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.

The 2011 season also continued NSU’s recent upward trend. In 2010, the Spartans finished 21-29-1 and finished one victory shy of the MEAC Tournament championship round. NSU again topped Georgetown of the Big East and split the season series with cross-town foe Old Dominion.

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).

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 tenure.

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.

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 before falling to Bethune-Cookman. The Spartans also earned another season split with CAA foe ODU during the 2008 campaign.

After an injury cut short his baseball career, Clark returned to his native Chesapeake, where he still resides today.

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 and current assistant coach Joey Seal, who broke Clark’s school record for career strikeouts, 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.

Seal was also part of a strong 2007 squad that featured first baseman Ernie Banks, who became Clark’s first protégé to be selected in the Major League Baseball Draft when the Marlins picked him in the 44th round. The ’07 team earned the program’s 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.

In 2006, Clark guided the program to a 23-28 record. The Spartans

ASSISTANT COACHES

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE Joey Seal is in his third season on the NSU baseball coaching staff.

After serving as a volunteer in 2010 and a student assistant last season, Seal assumes the role of assistant coach for 2012. He is directly responsible for the NSU pitching staff in addition to recruiting, assisting with administrative tasks, camps and clinics, and helping monitor the team’s academics.

A.J. Corbin is in his eighth 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.

Spartan hitters have earned 22 AllMEAC selections since Corbin took over as an assistant coach. Three of those players, Ernie Banks, Juan Serrano and Brandon Hairston, have reached the professional ranks.

A.J. Corbin Banks was a 44th round draftee of Assistant Coach the Florida Marlins in 2007, while Serrano played in the independent Golden Baseball League and Hairston signed a deal with the independent Frontier League for 2012.

In 2011, NSU batted .302 as a team, No. 2 in the MEAC. That marked the third straight year in which the team batting average was .300 or better. In 2010, 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, fourth), at-bats (614, fifth), doubles (38, ninth), runs batted in (121, tied for ninth) and home runs (17, tied for eighth).

Corbin batted .279 for his career and logged 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.

In Seal’s first season working with the NSU pitching staff, the Spartans lowered their team earned run average by nearly a full run from the year before, lowering their 5.93 mark in 2010 to 5.07 last season. NSU also set a new single-season school record with 372 strikeouts last season, easily topping the previous record of 305 in 2001.

Joey Seal Assistant Coach

The 2011 NSU pitching staff also boasted a second-team All-MEAC pitcher, Ryan VanAssche, who became the school’s second-ever Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. In addition, pitchers Jordan Egan (22nd) and Ryan Shook (45th) both ranked in the top 50 in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings.

As a four-year standout pitcher for the Spartans from 200508, 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 second-team All-MEAC selection as a relief pitcher as a junior in 2007, when he recorded four saves and fanned 75 hitters in 84 innings.

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, earned his bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies from NSU in 2011. He and his wife, the former Kelli North, reside in Hampton.

SEASON OUTLOOK

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Pitching Depth a Key for NSU in 2012 Bolstered by the return of seven pitchers and two All-MEAC position players from last year’s MEAC Tournament runner-up squad, a still relatively young Norfolk State baseball team eagerly anticipates the start of the 2012 season. NSU has just four seniors on its 28-man roster, but the Spartans, under eighth-year head coach Claudell Clark, aren’t using youth as an excuse.

“This year’s team has been one of the hardest-working groups and we have shown excellent team chemistry,” said Clark, who led NSU to the MEAC Tournament championship round for the third time in his tenure last season. “They seem focused in doing the little things that can make the difference in winning and losing games.”

Following is a position-by-position glance at the Spartan baseball team heading into the season.

PITCHING STAFF Clark, a former Spartan pitcher and pitching coach, has always prided himself on having quality staffs at NSU. He thinks this year should be no exception. With seven pitchers back and just two lost from 2011, plus the addition of several key newcomers, Clark feels that this could be one of his deepest and most versatile pitching staffs.

Despite losing No. 1 starting pitcher Ryan Shook to offseason arm surgery, NSU could have one of the MEAC’s toughest weekend rotations with the return of last season’s other top starters, junior Jordan Egan and sophomores Ryan VanAssche and Justin Bhatti. Egan made 11 of his 16 appearances last year as a starter and posted a 3-3 record. Egan was second in the MEAC in strikeouts (79), tops in strikeouts per nine innings (10.5 – 22nd in the nation) and third in lowest opponents batting average (.252). He will again anchor one of the top spots in the weekend rotation.

VanAssche was the workhorse of the staff as a rookie in 2011, earning Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America honors after finishing third in the MEAC in wins (seven) and earned-run average (3.47).

VanAssche, who made 18 appearances, came out of the bullpen 10 times before transitioning to a starting role later in the season.

He and Egan should hold down the top two spots in the weekend rotation, in some order.

“Jordan and ‘RV’ will be expected to go deep into games each outing. They both have shown that they can be dominant at times,” Clark said. “On Saturday doubleheaders, they complement each other very well and give our opponents two tough and contrasting looks.”

Bhatti went 3-6 with a 4.92 ERA as a freshman. He came on strong down the stretch, capped by a complete-game win over Delaware State at the MEAC Tournament.

“Justin has improved his slider and developed a nice changeup, which should be a big help to him as our Sunday starter,” Clark said.

rotation, however. Several of the Spartans’ other arms are capable of both starting and relieving, giving Clark a variety of options and versatility. Junior left hander Richie Salter (2-2, 4.76 ERA) and sophomore righty Jeff Di Fulgo (1-1, 6.65) are two players who could see time in either role.

While Salter and Di Fulgo could see time as starters or relievers, Clark will look to senior Horace Smith, junior Ray Morton (3-3, 5.16) and sophomore Chase Kyriacou (0-2, 8.63) to work primarily out of the bullpen. Smith missed last season due to a knee injury, but is healthy and looked strong in offseason workouts. Morton made a team-high 21 appearances last season, 18 in relief. Kyriacou made 14 appearances, 11 in relief. The two combined to walk just 17 hitters in 77.2 innings.

Three newcomers – JC transfer Chris Horne and freshmen Jeremy Sandifer and Ian Shiner – will also compete for innings out of the bullpen. Sandifer also has the potential to contribute as a midweek starter along with Di Fulgo, according to Clark.

“All three newcomers proved to be effective in offseason workouts and have the potential to pitch in key situations for us,” Clark said.

“They all have good arm strength and will be expected to move into starting roles as their careers progress.”

INFIELD The Spartans must replace a pair of four-year stalwarts from their infield in shortstop Chris Joyce and first baseman Brandon Hairston. Joyce was a two-time All-MEAC performer who finished his career as the school’s all-time doubles leader while ranking second in both hits and runs batted in. Hairston was second on the team last season with a .365 average and paced the Spartans with five home runs en route to second-team All-MEAC honors.

Replacing their production won’t be easy, but Clark feels he has a number of players ready to step in. JC transfer Ross Cardwell, senior Hunter Kenney and junior Shane Hoggard could all see time at first base. Cardwell displayed a nice hitting stroke and good defensive skills in fall workouts, while Kenney and Hoggard both provide experience, as well.

“Ross is probably our best defensive option at first base, but Shane and Hunter will compete for time there and at DH to show how much they have improved,” Clark said.

Shortstop will be manned by either senior Rafael Colon (.175 in 18 games in 2011) or touted freshman Justin Lee. Colon began the 2011 season as the team’s starting shortstop before transitioning to a reserve role. He can also play second base if needed. Lee was the Tidewater area’s Player of the Year while leading prep power Great Bridge to the state title. Like Colon, Lee can also play second if needed.

“Justin has shown a lot of promise at both second and shortstop and will push the upperclassmen from day 1,” Clark said.

The pitching depth doesn’t stop with the top three in the weekend

SEASON OUTLOOK NSU does have plenty of experience at second and third base.

Junior Ryan Montgomery was a first-team All-MEAC selection in his first season as a starter at third base last season. He batted .362 with 13 extra-base hits and 25 RBI. Clark also said that he has worked hard to improve his defense at the “hot corner.”

Fellow junior Sammy Serafine is back for his third year as the starter at second base. He hit .257 with 10 doubles last season.

“Sammy has made some adjustments that will allow him to improve offensively,” Clark said of Serafine, who hit .339 as a freshman in 2010. “Defensively, he has been solid and is one of the reasons why we will be strong in our middle infield this year.”

Sophomores Kyriacou and Jason Ellington are also options for Clark on the infield. Kyriacou has taken reps at second base in addition to his work on the mound. Ellington, who worked as a pitcher last year, will be looked to contribute offensively this season.

OUTFIELD NSU’s personnel losses from 2011 were heaviest among its outfielders as the trio of LF John Rasberry, RF John Lynch and CF TiQuan Griffin all used up their eligibility. Rasberry was the team’s leading hitter with a .372 mark last season, good enough to earn him first-team All-MEAC accolades. Lynch, meanwhile, leaves NSU as the school’s all-time hits leader. He batted .319 with a MEACleading 29 stolen bases last year. Griffin hit .299 in 2011 and started 133 games in his career.

The cupboard is far from bare, however. All-MEAC second-team designated hitter James Taylor will move into the starting center fielder’s role this season. Taylor, the team’s lead-off hitter, finished the 2011 year with a .338 average, a .472 on-base percentage and 12 steals. He has plenty of experience spelling Griffin in center over the past two seasons.

“James is a very capable center fielder, and he’s shown that he can be very effective at getting our offense going from the lead-off spot,” Clark said.

Sophomore Tyon Ore will likely be the opening-day left fielder.

Ore had only 38 at-bats last season, but had 14 hits, including a home run. Fellow sophomore Cameron Day will be counted on to either man right field or DH and have a prominent spot in the middle of the NSU lineup. Day had just nine at-bats last season, but has good speed and power potential.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE Sophomore Mark Wells also returns to the squad this season and gives Clark yet another option off the bench.

CATCHER The Spartans boast one of the top catchers in the conference in senior Chris Warren. Warren received most of the starts behind the plate as last season progressed with graduated senior Cameron Parsons. Warren threw out 35 percent of would-be base-stealers and also batted .286 with 12 doubles.

“Chris is a key piece of our defense because he gives our pitchers even more confidence to pitch with runners on base,” Clark said.

“He also has worked hard to become an above-average receiver, allowing our pitchers to throw all of their pitches in any count.”

Freshman Carson Moon, a product of Elberton, Ga., will push for time to spell Warren behind the plate when needed. Another option is Ryan Montgomery, who began his career as a catcher and has a strong arm.

SCHEDULE The Spartans have another challenging schedule, but 32 of their 51 regular-season games as well as the 2012 MEAC Tournament will be played at NSU’s Marty L. Miller Field. The non-conference slate includes home weekend series with Rider (Feb. 17-19), Villanova (Feb. 24-26), Binghamton (March 3-4) and Maine (March 30-April 1). NSU also has home-and-home dates with in-state rivals Old Dominion, William & Mary and Longwood in addition to a road matchup with Maryland of the ACC (May 1).

With the addition of North Carolina Central and Savannah State to the MEAC this year, the MEAC baseball race now includes nine teams. The squads will be split into a Northern and a Southern Division. NSU will play a total of 24 conference games against Northern Division foes Delaware State, Coppin State and Maryland Eastern Shore. The Spartans wouldn’t face Southern Division counterparts Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T, Florida A&M, Savannah State or N.C. Central until MEAC Tournament play. The tournament returns to Norfolk for a three-year term through 2014.

The 2012 championship will be played May 16-20.

“I feel there will be some extra motivation for our team to develop and peak at the right point during the season since we will play host to the conference tournament at our home field,” Clark said.

“Our guys have the ultimate goal of a conference championship in mind and have shown that they are willing to put in the extra work to get there.”

“Tyon looked good in his limited at-bats this year, and I think he’ll be ready to assume a larger role,” Clark said. “Cameron is one of the team’s strongest hitters and has improved his defense in right field.”

Clark is also high on freshmen James Essex and Mikey Bruno and sophomore transfer Josh Boyd. Essex and Bruno were high school standouts from the state of Virginia. Both are athletic players who possess good speed. Boyd, the younger brother of former Spartan All-MEAC performer John Boyd, has good power potential.

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,

ABOUT THE MEAC The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) is in its 42nd year of operation in the 2011-12 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 2012 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-
