AD Marty Miller

Marty Miller Director of 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 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-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

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 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 sixthseeded 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 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.

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.

Football player Ryan Hathaway (right) and softball player Casey Pomeroy (left) were presented the 2010 Male and Female Scholar Athlete of the Year Awards, respectively, by current Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Carray Banks.

COACHING STAFF

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

After taking the Norfolk State softball program a step forward in 2011 in her first year at the helm, Heidi Cavallo enters her second season as the head coach during the 2012 season. The Spartans rebounded in 2011 under Cavallo’s watch, posting a 23-25 overall record and advancing to the MEAC Championship after missing out on the tournament the previous year. NSU increased its win total by nine and saw three players earn All-MEAC honors. Heidi Cavallo NSU caught fire at the end of the season, Head Coach posting a 13-game win streak, the most victories in a row since 1997 – and best in the Division I era. The Spartans saw their team batting average jump 43 points from 2010 while their team ERA also improved in Cavallo’s first season. Outfielders Danielle Wright and Jeanette Sauceda each earned a spot on the All-MEAC First Team, while catcher Kathy Cortez was named to the second team in her rookie season. Under Cavallo’s direct tutelage – she was a standout pitcher during her collegiate days at Virginia Wesleyan – junior Casey Pomeroy became the workhorse on the staff, posting a 13-9 record with a 2.36 ERA, including a 0.92 ERA over the last 61.2 innings of the season. Prior to her appointment as head coach in May 2010 – she held the title of interim head coach for the 2011 season – Cavallo spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons as the assistant coach at NSU. Her main duties included developing the pitchers and outfielders and handling all aspects of recruiting. Cavallo came to NSU after serving as the head girls softball coach

at Bayside High School in Virginia Beach, Va., from 2006-08. She also served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Virginia Wesleyan, for five seasons from 2002-04 and 2006-07. Cavallo’s responsibilities included working with the pitchers and catchers, recruiting, coordinating off-season conditioning and fundraising. Cavallo has been an instructor at the VWC Lady Marlin Softball Camp for the last 11 years and was the director of softball camps and lessons at 7 Cities Sports in Virginia Beach for a year. She also had a four-year stint from 1999-2003 at Grand Slam USA in Virginia Beach, where she gave private pitching and hitting lessons. Cavallo had a stellar pitching career at Virginia Wesleyan from 1998-2001. She had a 112-54 career record and went 43-9 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Cavallo was named VWC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year as a freshman in 1998 and made the all-state team in 1998 and 1999. She was a four-time ODAC all-conference pick and was the ODAC Most Valuable Player in 1998. She currently ranks No. 1 in school history with 22 career shutouts, second in career strikeouts (382) and third in career innings pitched (532) and earned run average (1.91). Additionally, she holds four of the top seven single-season strikeout totals at Virginia Wesleyan. Cavallo was a standout pitcher at Bayside High School from 199497. She was named the school’s Player of the Year and earned all-state honors as a junior in 1996. Cavallo also made the All-Beach District and All-Eastern Region teams her junior and senior years. Her career pitching record at Bayside stood at 45-5. Cavallo earned a bachelors degree in criminal justice from Virginia Wesleyan in 2001. She and her husband Joey, a VWC alumnus and former baseball player, live in Virginia Beach. The couple has one daughter, Ashlyn (6).

Amanda Haverman enters her second year as an assistant coach with the Norfolk State softball program during the 2012 season, following a 2011 campaign in which the Spartans dramatically improved their offensive prowess under her guidance. Haverman (pronounced HAV-er-men), who oversees NSU’s hitters, turned the team’s fortunes around in 2011. As a team, the Spartans hit 43 points higher than the previous season, finishing the year with a Amanda Haverman .294 average. Outfielders Danielle Wright and Jeanette Sauceda earned All-MEAC Assistant Coach First Team honors and catcher Kathy Cortez was named to the second team. Wright, in fact, ranked in the top 6 in the MEAC in batting average, runs, hits, home runs, total bases, slugging, on-base percentage and steals. Under Haverman’s coaching, NSU had five players hit over .300, and Sauceda bumped her average up 126 points from the previous year. Haverman was named to the assistant coach position in Sept. 2010, replacing Heidi Cavallo, who was promoted to interim head coach following the 2010 season. Prior to her arrival in Norfolk, Haverman spent two years at Virginia Intermont College during the 2009 and ’10 campaigns as the assistant softball coach. The Lady Cobras posted a winning record in the Appalachian Athletic Conference during both seasons Haverman was there, with the team advancing all the way to the championship game in 2010 before falling short against Union College.

Under Haverman’s coaching, the Lady Cobras finished first in the conference in home runs in 2010 and 16th in the nation among all NAIA schools. Haverman came to Virginia Intermont after a four-year career at East Tennessee State from 2005-08. While there, she was a two-time Atlantic Sun All-Academic honoree her junior and senior seasons and broke the school’s single-season record for RBI during her junior year in 2007. She earned All-Atlantic Sun first team honors in 2007 at designated player after tying the single-game record for hits and posting a team-best nine multi-RBI games during her junior campaign. Haverman was also a preseason All-Atlantic Sun selection at designated hitter prior to her senior year in 2008. In 2006 she was named to the Buzzworthy Classic All-Tournament Team and earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week honors on April 24. A St. Louis, Mo., native, Haverman graduated from Kirkwood High School in 2004 and was a four-year starter on the varsity softball team. She was named to the MSHAA Class 4A All-State Team in 2002 and to the St. Louis Suburban West All-Conference Team in ‘02 and ’03. In addition, Haverman was a nominee for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award her senior year. She was later inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in March of 2009. A member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, Haverman has also worked as a volunteer assistant with the Kirkwood High softball team and as an instructor at the East Tennessee State Lady Bucs Softball Camp in addition to numerous other athletics and nonathletic organizations. Haverman graduated from East Tennessee State in 2008 with a bachelor’s in sports management and a minor in management.

NSU SOFTBALL FIELD

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

The NSU Softball Field serves as the on-campus site for all Spartan home softball games. The field has bleacher seating for 500 fans and is wheelchair accessible. An 8-foot permanent fence encircles the outfield and is 200 feet from home plate down the lines and to straight-away center field. An enclosed batting cage is located on the third-base side of the facility. A pitchers’ warm-up area sits behind a large lighted scoreboard beyond the left-field fence. The NSU Softball Field is also one of the only facilities in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with lighting for night games. The complex underwent a major renovation in the summer and fall of 2007 to add cinderblock home and visitors’ dugouts, additional bathrooms in both dugouts and an elevated press box to the existing facility. The press box also serves as the head coach’s office. The field is just a short walk away from NSU’s sports medicine and strength and conditioning departments. Parking is readily available behind the third base side of the field, and bathroom facilities for fans are located at the NSU Tennis Complex right across the street behind home plate. The facility, and the entire NSU campus, is easily reachable from the surrounding area by I-264. The NSU Softball Field was showcased on national television for the first time on May 5, 2007, when the Spartans defeated perennial MEAC power Florida A&M in a live broadcast on ESPNU. W W W.

SEASON OUTLOOK

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Speed, Power, Pair of Young Guns Will Define NSU Softball in 2012 Another year, another step closer to a MEAC title for the Norfolk State softball team in 2012. The Spartans enter the upcoming season boasting what head coach Heidi Cavallo calls a good mix of speed and power in the lineup. That, along with a pair of young guns in the pitcher’s circle, will help define this year’s campaign for NSU and how far the Spartans can advance in MEAC play. After missing out on the conference tournament all-together in 2010 and then going 23-25 overall last year, including 6-6 in conference play, NSU enters new territory this season with the move to the MEAC Northern Division. Perhaps more importantly, it also marks the second season with Cavallo at the helm. With her interim title now removed, and with the players now having a full year’s worth of training with the current coaching staff, NSU will look for its first winning season since 2007. Having that continuity with her and assistant coach Amanda Haverman and having a well-balanced roster in place after another full year of recruiting, Cavallo is pleased with the program’s direction. “We worked hard in the off-season on our hitting and gaining more confidence in our at bats,” she said. “As a whole we are all on the same page now, and everyone is really buying into what we are doing as a coaching staff. The players know we are behind them all the way.” Just as important, Cavallo believes the team’s chemistry is right where it needs to be in order for NSU to make a serious push in the league. “We’ve got great team chemistry, and it’s helped to create a fantastic atmosphere around the program,” she said. “Everyone’s taking pride in the program, and now we just need to keep it going throughout the season.” Depth became an issue for the Spartans last season, especially as the year wore on, a problem the current team does not have to face with an 18-player roster. The luxury of being able to throw so many different combinations of lineups is not lost on the coaching staff. “We’ve got a good mix of speed and power, and our short game is much more aggressive,” said Cavallo. “We can make the needed adjustments to the other team because of our depth, and change our offense up based on what they are doing. Now that we have depth at every position, players are really pushing each other and battling for spots in the lineup.”

Junior Gipsy Ramirez

Outfield One position that is all but guaranteed to be a lock is center field, where reigning All-MEAC player Danielle Wright (Safety

Harbor, Fla./Countryside HS) tends to roam. The senior was a force to be reckoned with last year, finishing in the top 6 in the league in batting average (.383), runs (46), hits (59), home runs (8), total bases (92), slugging percentage (.597), on-base percentage (.442) and stolen bases (28), including first overall in the latter category. For good measure, Wright threw out eight runners from her outfield spot. “We need Danielle to really be a senior leader for us this year, and that will lead to a fantastic season for her,” stated Cavallo. “As a leadoff hitter, she’ll be able to take the conference by storm and have a great farewell season.” Cavallo is also excited to have junior Gillian Giarrizzo (Suffolk, Va./King’s Fork HS) finally eligible after she missed out on playing in 2011. Giarrizzo will see time in the outfield, most likely left field, and will finally see game action for the first time since 2009. “Gillian works the hardest of anyone on her game, and we’re excited to see her in game action after having to sit out for two full years,” said Cavallo. “She is such a high-energy leader, and she brings that fire, that spunk that we need.” Along with Wright and Giarrizzo, sophomore Morgan Boyd (Chesapeake, Va./Indian River HS) and freshman Haley Ward (Virginia Beach, Va./Cox HS) will also see time in the outfield. Boyd moved to right field last year after starting off at shortstop, while the left-handed hitting Ward gives NSU a natural outfielder to throw into the mix. Boyd batted .365 on the year, including .436 in the last half of the season, and finished third in the MEAC with 24 stolen bases. “Morgan has worked on her short game to be more effective,” said Cavallo of the slap-hitting Boyd, “to become better at the craft and more comfortable and confident out there. She’s a smart player on the basepaths and the quickest player we have. “Once Haley gets accustomed to college ball, she’s going to be a great player for us,” she continued. “She’s our most fundamentally sound outfielder, and she adds to our short game and speed at the plate. She just has a great natural swing; it’s just a matter of adjusting to our hitting styles.” Two other players who could be in the mix in the outfield are a pair of utility players in sophomore Nikki Jones (Providence Forge, Va./New Kent HS) and junior Marjorie Pettitt (Virginia Beach, Va./Louisburg College/Ocean Lakes HS), a junior college transfer from Louisburg College in North Carolina. Jones added some pop in the NSU lineup last year, mostly at designated player but at the outfield corners as well. Pettitt brings another slap-hitting bat to the lineup in addition to her ability to play in the outfield and the middle infield. “We are looking for Nikki to pick up where she left off offensively,” Cavallo said. “She’s just an overall great team player who can play anywhere. She’s swinging really well, so we’re looking for her to give us a big bat this year. “Marjorie brings a lot of college game day experience from Louisburg and adds depth to our short game. Her versatility and ability to play several positions will add to our good mix in the lineup.” Infield If Wright has her outfield position at lockdown, then surely the same can be said for senior Whitney Holland (Suffolk, Va./St. Johns River CC/ King’s Fork HS) at third base. She hit .333 and had a team-leading 36 RBI last year despite missing a quarter of the season due to injury in her first year with the program. Holland will help anchor the middle of the lineup with her big bat. “She’s 100 percent excited for her senior year,” said Cavallo. “She knows this is it, and she wants to go out with a bang. She wants to win the MEAC as much as anyone on the team. She brings power to our lineup and she’s finetuned her defense at third. We are looking for her to have a huge season and be that infield leader out there.” Four players will log time at the two middle infield positions, with

W W W. N S U S P A R TA N S . C O M

SEASON OUTLOOK senior Candice Vasquez (Montclair, Calif./Montclair HS) and junior Gipsy Ramirez (LaVerne, Calif./San Dimas HS) providing the veteran leadership up the middle. Vasquez has seen time at third base, second base and shortstop throughout her career at NSU but will again see time at second this year, while Ramirez can play at both second and shortstop when called upon. Ramirez hit .277 last year and came on strong as the year wore on, anchoring the shortstop position while Vasquez started all 48 games at second. “Gipsy will be key to our middle infield,” stated Cavallo. “She’s worked a lot on her defense to become more fundamentally sound. She has bought into our hitting program, and it’s really clicked, so we’re ready to see her hit this season. “Candice has really stepped up to the challenge and fine-tuned her defense as well. It’s nice to have that senior experience at second base. She’s put in extra effort in her hitting, and she wants to go out on a high note this year.” Pushing those two for time will be freshmen shortstop Whittni Gray (Chesapeake, Va./Deep Creek HS) and second baseman Alina Moriarty (Chesapeake, Va./Hickory HS). Gray will battle it out with Ramirez at shortstop, while Moriarty will help backup either Ramirez or Vasquez at second. Cavallo mentioned the two positions as examples of how having depth now will give the Spartans a variety of different lineup combinations, especially as the two newcomers soak up some game experience. ”Once she adapts to the college game, Whittni will be an important contributor for us at shortstop,” stated the head coach. “She’s got range, speed and a good arm out on the field and provides speed on the basepaths. She’s powerful and quick – deceptively quick. “We look for Alina to grow as a player at second base, but she has the heart and desire to become a good player. She’ll get better with game experience, but she’s worked hard on and off the field to become a more confident player.” Those players will have the luxury of throwing to a solid glove at first

in sophomore Melina Valles (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes HS), who started every game last year at first base and hit .257 with 23 RBI. Valles, who posted a .977 fielding percentage last year, will be pushed for time by freshman Robyn Mitchell (Chesapeake, Va./Grassfield HS), who will also see time at first as well as in a relief role in the circle. “We are looking for Melina to pick up where she left, to really step up in the batter’s box and become a constant producer,” said Cavallo. “She handles pressure very well and is always hustling and going 110 percent. “Robyn will surprise people. She’s accepted the hitting challenge, and we can’t wait for her to see live pitching.”

Sophomore Kathy Cortez

Catcher After starting every game last year – playing every inning nonetheless

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE – sophomore Kathy Cortez (Pomona, Calif./Garey HS) does not have to shoulder all that responsibility with junior college transfer Chelsea Davis (Tappahannock, Va./Louisburg College/Essex HS) on board. Cortez earned second-team All-MEAC honors last year after hitting .307 with 15 RBI, while Davis has brought even more veteran leadership behind the plate after her two years at Louisburg College. “We’ve seen Kat in the cages more than anyone, and at this point she just wants to see live pitching,” Cavallo stated. “She steps up in clutch situations, and she can call and control a game so well behind the plate. She understands our pitchers very well. “Chelsea has helped our pitchers adapt, and that stems from her catching so many games in junior college. She is also able to really control and call a game, and she’s a vocal leader on defense. We just need her to hit on a consistent basis.” Pitchers The Spartans will rely on a pair of young starters in sophomore Jamie Schulle (Maxwell, Texas/Lockhart HS) and freshman Liz Riley (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes HS) to carry them through the season. Schulle, who graduated a year early from high school, saw plenty of time during her rookie campaign last year as NSU’s No. 2 starter behind now-graduated Casey Pomeroy. With Pomeroy gone, Schulle takes over the No. 1 role for the Spartans as Riley gets her feet wet in actual game-day experience in the early part of the season. “Jamie has accepted the challenge of being our No. 1 starter, and we have confidence in her to do what we need her to do as that player,” said Cavallo. “She’s soaked up our pitching sessions, and you can tell it’s really clicked for her. She’s a very smart player with good command of her pitches. “Liz is working hard to be that top-level pitcher we need in addition to Jamie. She’s excelling at everything, and that’s because she’s an exceptional athlete who just happens to be a pitcher.” Both Mitchell and senior Elizabeth Castaneda (Montclair, Calif./ Montclair HS) will back up Schulle and Riley in a relief role and eat up innings where needed. Castaneda obviously brings the senior experience and leadership to a pitching staff that is relying on three freshmen-aged players, having made 64 appearances throughout her career, including 15 starts. “Liz (Castaneda) knows what’s expected of her, and she’s worked hard to do what we need her to do this year,” Cavallo stated. “We need her to be that upperclassman pitcher and control ball games when called upon. “Robyn is a very mentally strong player, and that will serve her well in a relief role. It will be a good role for her to fill early on in her career here.” In addition, Cavallo can also call upon Ramirez to pitch, as the hardthrowing right-hander was one of her team’s top pitchers in high school in addition to her big bat at the plate. Schedule NSU will have the luxury of a slew of homes games, including four during the two-day Spartan Classic Feb. 25-26 at the NSU Softball Field. Prior to heading to the Delaware Invitational March 16-18, the only away games for the Spartans are doubleheaders against familiar foes in North Carolina Central, North Carolina A&T, Savannah State and South Carolina State, teams NSU could very well end up seeing later in the year at the MEAC tournament. Along with the Spartan Classic, NSU will also host Marist and Fairleigh Dickinson for the team’s home openers Feb. 18 and 19, facing both teams both days at noon and 2 p.m. The Spartans will also host non-conference doubleheaders against Canisius (Feb. 20) and George Mason (March 13) as well as a pair of twinbills against Central Connecticut State on March 19 and 20. Moving into the MEAC Northern Division this year means NSU will get three home weekends against conference foes as opposed to two in the years before. The Spartans host Coppin State March 24-25 to kick off conference play and will also welcome Morgan State (April 14-15) and Hampton (May 5-6) to the NSU Softball Field. NSU travels to Howard, UMES and Delaware State during conference play and will also hit the road for doubleheaders at James Madison and Longwood in April.

MEAC HISTORY The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 42nd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 2011-12 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., 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. The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball and volleyball. MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

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. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals. After selecting a proposal and 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. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards 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, the MEAC reached a milestone when it 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 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 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 1990s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded once again in 2007, adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season, however, Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010, the MEAC made its most recent 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 NCAA. Prior to that year, the conference operated as a Division II conference. The month after it achieved Division I status, 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’s 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. 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. 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.

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. The Lady Hawks repeated the feat in 2011 to win the team’s second NCAA title. During the same season, UMES won the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITC), becoming the first team to win two national championships during the same season. In men’s basketball, UMES became the first historically black college/university (HBCU) to participate in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in 1974. The Hawks de-

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE feated 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 Championship and junior center 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 Eagles defeated No. 2 South Carolina in 1997, and No. 15 seeded Hampton defeated No. 2 Iowa State in 2001. ESPN Sports Center ranked both victories ranked among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all time 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. SCSU 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. In 2010, The North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies defeated Wake Forest and Charlotte before falling to Miami in the third round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). North Carolina A&T became the first MEAC team and historically black college/university to win two consecutive basketball games in a national postseason tournament. The No. 13 Hampton Lady Pirates faced No. 4 Kentucky in the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. The 13th seed was the highest seed earned by a MEAC women’s basketball program since the inception of the 64-team bracket in 1994. 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. The Bulldogs were also named co-champions along with Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M in 2010. On the track, Hampton’s Francena McCorory set an American record in the 400m dash with a time of 50.54 and defended her national indoor title at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. McCorory, a two-time All-American and three-time MEAC indoor champion in the 400m dash, became the first back-to-back NCAA indoor 400m champion since Suziann Reid of Texas (1998 and 1999). McCorory was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Athlete of the Year for the 2010 Indoor Track and Field season. In outdoor track and field, North Carolina Central won the first three MEAC titles. The quartet of Melvin Bassett, Robert Ouko, Julius Sang and Larry Black set the world record in the sprint medley relay with a time of 38.19 in the 1972 Olympics. 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 more than 27 athletes in the Olympics. Among them, 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 poll, reaching No. 72. 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 an NCAA Division I Softball Regional. Bethune-Cookman ended the 2005 season with the conference’s 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, Bethune-Cookman 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.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL 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

W W W. N S U S P A R TA N S . C O M

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!

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

W W W. N S U S P A R TA N S . C O M

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2012 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

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.”

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 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 enable NSU student-athletes to perform at their full potential. • A competitive athletics program contributes to the enjoyment of the student-athlete experience.
