SHOOTOUT COMMITTEE & SEAWOLF CAPTAINS A lthough officially hosted by the University of Alaska Anchorage, much of the behind-the-scenes work at the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is handled by the Shootout Committee. Chaired this year by Rick Calcote (above), the committee is a volunteer group that donates its time and talents. Without question, the group has been a critical factor in the success the tournament has enjoyed. The committee assists in everything from coordinating halftime entertainment to helping with publicity and selling tickets. Even prior to the conclusion of the 2010 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2011 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.

he Seawolf Captains program enters its 26th year of operation with the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout in 2010. Chosen by the UAA Athletics Department and coordinated by Jim and Bobbi Olson, several sets of highly qualified local residents give of their time to act as official hosts for their assigned teams. The tasks of the captains are varied, but their primary role is simply to make their respective team’s visit as enjoyable as possible. Jim & Bobbi Olson u Seawolf Captain Coordinators

2010 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

GEORGE M. SULLIVAN ARENA The Seawolf basketball teams host the Carrs/

Safeway Great Alaska Shootout in the 8,700-seat Sullivan Arena in Midtown Anchorage – a site that has also grown into one of the finest college hockey arenas in the nation. The municipally owned arena was named in honor of former Anchorage mayor George Sullivan, whose Project 80s plan took oil wealth and turned it into a series of major public building projects. The Shootout moved to the $30 million facility in 1983, tripling the tournament’s seating capacity from its former home at Buckner Field House on Fort Richardson. A Willie Nelson concert on Feb. 8, 1983 was the first event hosted by the arena, and in

The Seawolf

March of that year the Seawolf hockey team played its first game there when it took on the U.S. National Team. Since that time, UAA has emerged as one of the top-drawing hockey programs in the nation, skating in the powerful Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Basketball fans have flocked to the Sullivan to see the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Over the last 10 years, more than 40,000 fans per tournament have squeezed into Sullivan. Managed by SMG, the arena is designed with flexibility in mind. It can host nearly every indoor sport, and can be configured to host any large gathering such as concerts, trade shows or circuses.

In the Seawolf, the University of Alaska Anchorage has one of the more unique mascots in the country. Originally nicknamed the Sourdoughs, UAA adopted the Seawolf moniker in 1977. The name Seawolf represents a mythical sea creature and, according to the legend of the Seawolf, anyone fortunate enough to view it was subject to good luck. The exact nature or shape of the Seawolf, however, was left to the imagination and thus the creature has been depicted in many forms throughout the years.

Complete with an international-sized ice rink (100 x 200 feet), the arena takes advantage of portable seating to switch from hockey to basketball configurations in a matter of hours. A new basketball court and refurbished home locker rooms are among the many upgrades made in recent years. A fully automated scoreboard, installed in 2002, hangs in the center of the arena, and is complemented by smaller versions at each of the building’s four corners. In 2001, the giant, 16-by9-foot “Sulli-Vision” video screen was installed on the south wall. A first-class sound and lighting system completes the setting.

The Seawolf of today was introduced in 1985. Created by the Clark Mishler & Associates Company of Anchorage in cooperation with a University committee, it represents an adaptation of a more traditional Alaska totemic-like characterization of the mythical Seawolf. The most recent makeover of the Seawolf, a University-wide project, was taken on in order to update the look of the UAA mascot into a more recognizable and marketable image. The University has trademarked the logo.

2010 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

33rd Shootout edition promises excitement As

a new decade dawns on the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, a new generation of budding hoops talent comes north with eyes on one of the most prestigious trophies in college basketball – the Shootout championship gold pan. Celebrating its 33rd anniversary in 2010, the Shootout is again at full strength, reverting back to its traditional eight-team men’s field after one year with a six-team field. One thing that never changes is the Shootout’s tradition of bringing the best in college basketball to Sullivan Arena for this Thanksgiving hoops feast – now the longest continuous regular-season tournament in the nation. In 2010, the women’s field features the host and four-time defending champion Seawolves against Washington, of the powerful Pacific-10 Conference, Kent State and San Jose State. On the men’s side, major-conference teams Arizona State (Pac-10) and St. John’s (Big East) will look to defend their standing against tough squads from Ball State, Drake, Houston Baptist, Southern Utah and Weber State. Here’s a quick look at this year’s Shootout teams:

SAN JOSE STATE: Coming off a 6-23 campaign, the Spartans are hoping the Shootout can be a springboard to turning around their fortunes in 2010-11. Fourth-year coach Pam DeCosta returns seven letterwinners and adds five newcomers this season. Senior guard Sayja Sumler is SJSU’s leading returning scorer at 7.7 points per game, while fellow starters Marnesha Hall (5.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg) and Palagi Atoe (3.6 ppg) will also be heavily relied upon.

WOMEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: Coming off its fourth straight NCAA Div. II Tournament appearance and four consecutive Shootout titles, UAA is unlikely to sneak up on any of its opponents in 2010-11. When the Seawolves tip off against San Jose State on Tuesday night, they will be gunning for their ninth straight victory over a Div. I program in the tournament. Ranked No. 13 in the D-II preseason poll, UAA returns a trio of proven seniors with guards Nikki Aden, Sarah Herrin and Kaitlin McBride. Add in Great Northwest Athletic Conference player-of-the-year candidate Hanna Johansson in the post, and it’s easy to see why the Seawolves were picked to finish second in the league’s annual preseason coaches poll.

MEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: The Seawolves will look to spring yet another upset after knocking off Nicholls State in last year’s tournament. First-team all-leauge shooting guard Brandon Walker (15.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg) will team with fellow seniors Casey Robinson (12.0 ppg, .407 3FG) and Drew Robinson (6.8 ppg, 2.9 apg) to give the hosts a formidable amount of experience. Led by 7th-year head coach Rusty Osborne, the UAA has been picked to finish fourth in in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

KENT STATE: In addition to one of the coolest nicknames in college sports, the Golden Flashes also bring a loaded roster to Anchorage in their first Shootout appearance.

WASHINGTON: Making its first Shootout appearance since 1982, the Huskies women hope to duplicate the success of the UW men’s team, which won the title here in 2004. A UW title would also make the Huskies just the second Pac-10 school (Stanford, 2004) to win a women’s Shootout. After a 6th-place finish in the rugged Pac-10 last year, 4th-year head coach Tia Jackson has the advantage of four returning starters this time around, including versatile junior Kristi Kingma (9.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 2.0 apg) and sizable shooting guard Sarah Morton (5.7 ppg, 2.5 apg).

Arizona State senior guard Ty Abbott averaged 14.7 points per game and captured first-team All-Pacific-10 Conference honors in 2009-10.

Led by the Mid-American Conference’s all-time coaching victories leader, Bob Lindsay, the Ohio school is coming off a 20-win season and a postseason appearance in 2009-10. Senior shooting guard Jamilah Hughes, a former junior-college All-American, is a dynamic talent who averaged 14.6 points, 3.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game while earning first-team All-MAC honors a year ago.

ARIZONA STATE: Coming off a secondplace Pac-10 finish and an NIT berth in 2009-10, the Sun Devils hope to return to the NCAA Tournament under 5th-year coach Herb Sendek. The Sun Devils are the only Pac-10 team with a winning league road record in each of the past two seasons and to post 20 wins in each of past three seasons.

2010 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

2010 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW With returning first-team all-conference guard Ty Abbott running the show, ASU will try to continue the Pac-10’s record of Shootout success in the past decade, joining Washington (2004), California (2006) and Washington State (2009) as champions. BALL STATE: Making their first Shootout appearance, the Cardinals were recently chosen as the favorites to win the Mid-American Conference’s West Division. BSU returns four full-time starters and another player who started 11 games in 2009-10. Those five players have combined to play in 285 games, including 223 starts, in their careers at the Muncie, Ind., school. Junior forward Jarrod Jones was an All-MAC selection last year with averages of 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds. DRAKE: The Bulldogs come north as just the third school (Bradley, 1979; Southern Illinois, 2006) from the traditionally tough Missouri Valley Conference to play in the Shootout. The Des Moines, Iowa, squad is led by 6-11 sophomore center Seth VanDeest, who set a school freshman record last year with 45 blocked shots. Senior guard Ryan Wedel averaged 11.1 points last year and was second in the MVC in steals per game (1.5) as well. HOUSTON BAPTIST: Shootout newcomer Houston Baptist also becomes the first member of the Great West Conference to come to Anchorage. The Huskies, who finished second in their league last year, have been picked to repeat that performance in this year’s preseason poll. HBU features senior forward Andrew Gonzalez, who was the Great West’s 200910 Newcomer of the Year, pacing the conference with 18.9 points per game. ST. JOHN’S: With former UCLA head coach and longtime TV analyst Steve Lavin now at the helm, the Red Storm is poised to begin its rebuilding process in the brutally tough Big East Conference. The 7th-winningest program (1,703 victories) in NCAA Div. I history has a good place to start, featuring nine players who saw action in at least 28

Reigning Big Sky Conference Player of the Year Damian Lillard helps make Weber State one of the favorites in this year’s men’s field after averaging nearly 20 points per game last year.

Junior forward Hanna Johnansson brings two years of Shootout experience and is a big reason UAA is nationally ranked in the preseason.

Alaska Anchorage senior Brandon Walker was the second-leading scorer in last year’s Shootout, averaging 23.0 points per game on 67 percent shooting.

games a year ago, including senior swingman D.J. Kennedy (15.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.1 apg). The New York City school will be making its second Shootout appearance (2001). SOUTHERN UTAH: Coming off a 7-22 campaign, coach Roger Reid will field a veteran roster in 2010-11 and hope to spring an upset or two at this year’s tournament. The Thunderbirds feature seven players who averaged 13 minutes or more last season, led by 6-9 junior forward Matt Massey (7.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, .782 FT%). The Cedar City, Utah, squad is making its second trip to the Shootout (1998).

WEBER STATE: After winning back-to-back Big Sky Conference regular-season titles, the Wildcats will begin their quest for a third straight postseason berth with a strong performance at the Shootout. WSU, from Ogden, Utah, will be a dark-horse favorite to catpure this year’s championship gold pan, thanks in large part to junior guard Damian Lillard (19.9 ppg), the 2009-10 Big Sky Player of the Year. The Wildcats also boast a strong inside presence with 6-6 junior forward Kyle Bullinger, who has started all 62 games the past two years.

2010 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY Entering

its 31st edition, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout women’s tournament has established a tradition of its own as one of the premier events in the game. This year’s Shootout marks the 12th straight year that a four-team women’s tourney is part of the November action. After hosting the Northern Lights Invitational women’s basketball tournament from 1980 to 1997, UAA was forced to suspend the tournament due to a significant round of budget reductions in the summer of 1998. But thanks in large measure to the generosity of the tournament’s title sponsor, it was announced on September 3, 1998 that, starting in 1999, the Shootout would encompass a women’s tournament in addition to the traditional eight-team men’s event. And so it is that this year’s women’s Shootout field of host Alaska Anchorage, Kent State, San Jose State and Washington will carry on the tradition of the Northern Lights Invitational – a tournament with a storied history of its own. The NLI opened as a four-team tournament in late March of 1980. In 1981 the tournament doubled in size to eight teams and remained that way through 1992. After changing to a fourteam, round-robin format for two seasons, the NLI and UAA went back to hosting seven visiting teams until 1997. One of the problems the NLI faced through the years was to find a consistent home on the calendar as NCAA women’s basketball expanded and organized along more traditional conference lines. The tournament dates were moved from March to February in 1982 to avoid conflicting with postseason play. The tournament later moved to January and then, in 1994, moved once again to December in order to attract the best NCAA Division I teams available. Over the years the NLI also moved homes three times. Beginning at the then-named UAA Sports Center in 1980, it moved to the Sullivan Arena in 1983 and then back to Sports Center in 1986. Organizers are thrilled that the women’s Shootout has found a permanent home back under the bright lights of Anchorage’s premier sports facility. Through the years some of the top women’s collegiate basketball teams have played in the event – most notably the 1997 appearance and championship of a Tennessee Lady Volunteers team that featured All-American Chamique Holdsclaw. Other top teams have included Clemson, Georgia, Kansas, Iowa, Purdue, Old Dominion, Oregon, Texas, Penn State, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina, Southern California, Stanford and Stephen F. Austin. The 1986 field rates as one of the best in the

women’s basketball team has always been the lone NCAA Division II team in the tournament. And although the men have fared well in the Shootout, they have yet to win it – an impressive feat the women have pulled six times (1990, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).

ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEAWOLVES After four memorable seasons under head coach

Tim Moser, the Alaska Anchorage women’s basketball program has firmly established itself as one of the best in NCAA Div. II. Although the Seawolves saw their two-year reign as West Region champions come to an end last year, UAA still returned to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight time, won its fourth straight Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, and posted an overall mark of 24-5. Now it will be up to a handful of returnees and a dozen talented newcomers to continue the tradition of success in 2010-11. Although the Seawolves do not return a first- or second-team All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference performer from last season, that doesn’t mean they are devoid of talent. Junior post Hanna Johansson was an honorable mention All-GNAC selection in 2009-10, and Moser expects her to be one of the best players in the league this time around. As a sophomore, the 6-2 Swede averaged 9.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, improving to 12.4 ppg and 6.0 rpg after the calendar changed to January. UAA’s career field-goal percentage leader (.549) paced the GNAC last year at 54.7 percent and also ranked fourth in steals (2.0 spg). Along with Johansson, UAA’s trio of seniors – Nikki Aden, Sarah Herrin and Kaitlin McBride – will provide a solid foundation. Aden, a 5-9 wing, is the team’s lone fouryear senior and enters the season with the second-most career victories (83) in a Seawolf uniform. The Portland, Ore., native played a key reserve role on both of UAA’s Final 4 teams in 2007-08 and 2008-09, and last year she started all 29 games, averaging 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and shooting a school-record 86.2 percent from the free-throw line. Herrin, a 5-8 guard from Nikiski, may be pound-for-pound one of the toughest players ever to don the Green & Gold. The former transfer from Alaska Fairbanks made her Seawolf debut

last season, putting up 4.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and shooting 34.6 percent from long range while playing 14.0 minutes per contest. At point guard, McBride returns with valuable experience after starting the final 11 games last winter in place of the injured Kiki Taylor. In addition to her averages of 3.3 ppg and 2.1 rpg, the Bothell, Wash., native delivered a 1.64-to-1 assist-turnover ratio and showed off a smooth midrange jumper. A pair of Alaskans rounds out the returnees as redshirt sophomores Alysa Horn and Jordan Martin will look to increase their playing time. Horn, a 6-0 forward from Kodiak, has been impressive in preseason drills, while Martin, from East Anchorage High School, brings 12 games of experience from last season.

KENT STATE GOLDEN FLASHES Despite having a team depleted by injury last

year, the Golden Flashes advanced to postseason play for the first time in six seasons with their WNIT berth. Kent State aims to continue its streak of playing in mid-March and could make a run for the Mid-American Conference title. With another 20-win season in the record books, Bob Lindsay – already the all-time winningest coach in conference history – starts the 2010-11 season just eight victories away from reaching 400 for his career. The Golden Flashes will be a vastly different team than last season, as four freshmen and a first-year sophomore join six returning players, including their top two scorers. Senior guard Jamilah Humes stepped up as a junior last season and led Kent State in multiple categories. During her first-team all-conference season, Humes paced the Golden Flashes with 14.6 points, 3.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game while ranking third on the team in rebounds. A leader by example, Humes’ tough and tenacious style will be paramount for Kent State in 201011. Senior point guard Stephanie Gibson, who currently ranks 10th in team history for career assists (324), is looking to end her four-year career at Kent State with a bang. Last season, Gibson saw action in all 31 games, averaging 2.5 points per game as a reserve. With her veteran experience, Gibson will be a front-runner for the starting point guard slot this winter. Eager to get into collegiate competition is sophomore Tamzin Barroilhet. After sitting out last season due to NCAA restrictions, Barroilhet is ready to have an impact for the Golden Flashes. Barroilhet, who has dual citizenship in France and England, aided the Great Britain U-20 team that captured the 2010 FIBA European Division B Championship. It was the first-ever major tournament win for any British age-group team. Freshman Iris Butcher will provide depth at the point guard position. A 5-8 guard that can create off the dribble, Butcher was a 1,000-point scorer in high school and was one of the nation’s top-ranked guards by Scouts, Inc. In the frontcourt, Taisja Jones provided plenty of punch offensively in her first season last year. The 6-0 forward poured in 14.3 points per game, shot over 40 percent from the field and

knocked down over 150 free throws, which ranks in the top 10 in team history. After two years as a starter, senior Chenel Harris provided support in 2009-10, coming off the bench in 27 of 31 games played. Harris, who averaged 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, will again vie for a starting role and bring senior leadership. Two newcomers are anticipated to bolster Kent State’s frontcourt this season. As a prep, Tayler Stanton was a four-time all-conference selection and twice earned all-district honors. Meanwhile, T’Shera Lucas, a highly regarded player in high school, was listed as one of the top 50 small forwards in the nation by Scouts, Inc. Now in her senior year, center Ellie Shields is in prime position to have an impact. Last season Shields was hampered by injuries but still managed to score 7.3 points per game to go with 4.6 rebounds. Shields has shown her propensity to score in the past, as she eclipsed the 30-point plateau in a game during her freshman season.

SAN JOSE STATE SPARTANS San Jose State has put in the effort and hard

work needed to be the team head coach Pam DeCosta envisions – a group that plays with dedication and at a relentless pace, during practice and in competition. Coach DeCosta welcomes back a solid base for 2010-11 which features three starters and seven letterwinners. In addition, the Spartans welcome five new faces who each bring with them athleticism and an optimal work ethic. The four Spartans making up the senior class feature players who cover the perimeter to the inside and outside game. Guard Sayja Sumler is a vocal leader and a quality threat from the inside, averaging 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 2009-10. Appearing in every game of her career (90), Sumler leads her squad in total minutes played (2,684) over three straight seasons. Sumler led the team in assists (79) and steals (49) last year. Backcourt mate Palagi Atoe made an immediate impact on the perimeter last season, averaging 3.6 points in 24 games and 11 starts. She netted 37 percent beyond the arc, good for second on the team. Britney Bradley (4.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg) is capable of playing all positions on the floor. Bradley netted 21 of 30 from the free-throw line and went 5 of 15 beyond the arc in 21 games. Forward Marnesha Hall is a consistent factor on the boards, averaging 5.4 points and 5.1 rebounds while playing in all 29 games last season. Hall led the team with 147 rebounds among returning starters. In addition, the Spartans add three newcomers and two juniors to the fold. Center Dominique Hamilton (1.8 ppg, 2.1 rpg) came on strong over the course of last season and appeared in 27 games with three starts. She showed a solid, steady game and totaled a career-high six rebounds in the Spartans’ win over Sacramento State. Myesha Broaden, at 6-2, saw action in three games last season. Forward Brittany Johnson transferred from Independence (Kan.) CC where she averaged 5.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, leading her team to a 23-8 overall record.

WASHINGTON HUSKIES Sarah Morton is the first to pick up the barbell,

the first to run sprints and the first to perform a drill. The veteran point guard has embraced her leadership role with the women’s basketball team at Washington, and feels it’s her role to make sure she directs by example, not just empty words. Her team has reciprocated. “Everything we’re doing so far is with a lot of intensity and a lot of effort,” Morton said. “We’re giving it everything we’ve got.” Morton’s taken on the responsibility because she feels there is promise to this current crop of Huskies. The group enters the season with a high level of optimism, stemming from their first postseason appearance under head coach Tia Jackson. This year, the Huskies have valuable pieces returning, bolstered by the addition of a talented freshman group. Leading the way for UW is Kristi Kingma, a junior from nearby Mill Creek, Wash. The 5-10 guard is one of the most dangerous shooters in the Pacific-10 Conference, and this season she’ll be the focal point of the Huskies’ offense. In addition to a deadly 15-foot jumper, Kingma is also a lockdown defender, a reputation she earned after leading the team in steals. Kingma expects more of herself after a grueling offseason workout regimen. “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked this preseason,” Kingma said. “But it’s not just me, it’s been everyone. We really grew together during open gyms.” Teaming with Kingma in the backcourt will be Morton, the team’s lone senior. Last year, Morton amplified all aspects of her game, transitioning into an offensive threat rather than a pure ball distributor. She was able to knock down shots from distance, finish on the break and drive the lane. Morton has a full complement of offensive threats to work with, and one goal she’s set on achieving is a positive assist-to-turnover ratio. One of those threats is Regina Rogers, now in her second year of eligibility with the Huskies. Rogers led the team in field goal percentage, knocking down nearly 54 percent of her shots on her way to averaging 8.3 ppg. Those numbers picked up down the stretch as her conditioning

improved, enabling Rogers to play extended minutes. Her true potential shined in the Apple Cup game against Washington State on Feb. 27, where Rogers torched the Cougars for 23 points. In that game, Rogers showcased her full arsenal of post moves, scoring almost at will against a taller WSU front line. Joining Rogers on the front line are Mackenzie Argens and Mollie Williams, a pair of athletic forwards who are skilled in the Huskies’ transition game. Argens started all 31 games for UW last season and really began to integrate herself into the offense once conference play began. It was a similar scenario with Williams, who provided the Huskies with an athletic presence off the bench. Spelling Morton will be highly touted freshman Mercedes Wetmore, who joins the Huskies after winning three state titles at nearby Auburn-Riverside High School. Wetmore, a 5-8 point guard, was the offensive focal point on those Ravens teams but it was her leadership skills that put the team over the hump during the Class 4A tournaments in Tacoma.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY The

Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout began as a dream of Bob Rachal, who coached the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves during the 1977-78 season. Rachal, who died of cancer in 1985, wanted to put a fledgling UAA basketball program on the map and do it in style. With a personality reminiscent of a 19th century riverboat gambler, he parlayed an NCAA rule that said games outside the contiguous 48 states didn’t count against your normal allotment of 28, plus the lure of Alaska itself, into a winning hand. The big gamble was whether the UAA and the community could attract big-name schools to the new tournament, in Alaska of all places. The gamble paid off. Coaches jumped at the chance to squeeze in three “free” games against topflight competition, not to mention the recruiting possibilities a trip to Alaska afforded. The first Sea Wolf Classic was played in November of 1978 in the 4,000-seat Buckner Field House at Fort Richardson near Anchorage. Each two-game session drew a disappointing average of only 2,500 people, until fans filled the gym to capacity on Sunday night to see the Wolfpack from North Carolina State defeat Louisville to win the tournament’s first championship.

UAA’s Tony Turner brings the ball downcourt against Lamar in the first Shootout game, Nov. 24, 1978.

The inaugural event received national press attention and portions of the tournament were televised live to regional markets of the teams involved – a first for the state of Alaska. Most

important, however, was the reaction of the visiting coaches, who praised the hospitality, the officiating and most of all, the level of competition. Even as the first Sea Wolf Classic ended, plans were being made for hosting the second tournament, pending a review of the three-day event by UAA officials. In the end, they declared that the Classic was a success and should continue. And in 1979 it did. Only it wasn’t the Sea Wolf Classic anymore. It was now called the Great Alaska Shootout – a name reportedly coined by television commentator Billy Packer during regional television broadcasts of the initial tourney. Kentucky, led by guard Kyle Macy, defeated Jeff Ruland-led Iona for the 1979 title. Regardless of the name, this holiday event was now well on its way to acceptance both at home and among the nation’s top hoops teams. Soon it was called “the best kept secret in basketball.” But the secret is out, and UAA’s sports program, the state of Alaska and major college basketball are all the better for it. In 1983, the Shootout moved from its original confines at Buckner into a newly constructed municipal sports facility in midtown Anchorage, the Sullivan Arena. Named for for-

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY mer Anchorage mayor George Sullivan, it was part of Anchorage’s Project 80s, in which oil wealth was turned into a series of major public building projects. The $30 million facility gave the Shootout twice the number of seats and a classy new home. In the early 1990s, the Shootout faced an obstacle that couldn’t be solved through local help alone. The NCAA passed legislation to push the start of the basketball season back to December 1, threatening the existence of the Thanksgiving tournament. But then-coach Harry Larrabee and former athletic director Ron Petro went to work, crisscrossing the country to gain support for an exemption for the Shootout. Fortunately for Anchorage basketball fans, their efforts were not in vain and the Shootout was granted the exemption it needed to continue as the premier in-season basketball tournament in the nation. In 1994 the event became the Carrs Great Alaska Shootout when Carr Gottstein Food, Inc., became the title sponsor of the event. With the purchase of Carrs by Safeway in 1999, the event is known today as the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. All told, 26 NCAA champions have taken part in the Shootout. The defending national champion has taken part in the tournament five times, most recently Kentucky in 1996. North Carolina State was the first, starting the defense of its 1983 title in Anchorage. Two years later, Villanova played in the 1985 Shootout after winning a national title earlier that spring. Louisville (1986) and Kansas (1988) have also played in the Shootout after winning national titles. Duke, the 1998 Shootout runner-up team featuring Anchorage’s own Trajan Langdon, began its run to the 1999 Final Four here. In 1997-98 North Carolina started its trek to the Final Four at the Shootout as did Kentucky in 1996-97 and Duke in 2003-04. In the last decade, the Shootout has again served as a springboard to success. The entire 2003 Final Four field featured teams who had made Shootout appearances since 1999 – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001, 5th place). Indiana made the 2002 NCAA Final after placing third at the Shootout. The 2004 Shootout saw one of the strongest fields ever, producing five NCAA Tournament teams – Alabama, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. Both Oklahoma and Utah – featuring future NBA No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut – went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness. In 2007, the Shootout featured eventual top 10-ranked Butler, NCAA Tournament darling Western Kentucky, and all-time college basketball wins leader Bob Knight in his last go-round with Texas Tech.

The powerful Atlantic Coast Conference has been well represented at the Shootout over the years, including appearances by Anchorage native Trajan Langdon and his Duke squad in 1998 (left) and Brad Daugherty-led North Carolina (No. 42, right) in 1985. LEFT: Led by point guard Mike Green, Butler topped John Roberson and Texas Tech for the 2007 Shootout crown. BOTTOM: Connecticut’s Ray Allen is one of just six players to earn the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player honor without playing for the championship team.

Of the 69 NCAA schools that have won the NCAA men’s basketball title, only seven – Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, LaSalle, San Francisco, Loyola (Ill.) and Texas-El Paso – have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. In fact, with Duke’s 2010 coronation, the last 44 NCAA champions have appeared in the Shootout. From the beginning, the Shootout has attracted the attention of the nation’s sports press. Nearly every major daily newspaper and sports

magazine has at one time or another staffed the event. Televised from its inception on a regional basis, the Shootout went live nationwide via the ESPN cable television network beginning in 1985 and continuing through 2007. This year, in addition to regional telecasts, the Shootout will be available to viewers around the world via the internet. Indeed, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is no secret anymore, but rather an event eagerly awaited annually by millions.

Five schools have begun defense of their NCAA title at the Shootout – North Carolina State (1983), Villanova (1985), Louisville (1986), Kansas (1988) and Kentucky (1996). In total, 10 teams have played in the Shootout on the heels of a Final 4 appearance the previous spring, including when NCAA finalists Kentucky and Syracuse met in the first round in 1996. The 2003 Final 4 featured teams that had all made Shootout appearances within the previous four seasons – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001 5th place). In 32 years, 117 Shootout teams have qualified for the ensuing NCAA Tournament, meaning that on average half of the field makes the Big Dance. The 1985 Shootout produced a record seven NCAA qualifiers, while 1991 (UMass), 2006 (UAA), 2008 (Portland State) and 2009 (Houston) were the only years that just one team made it to March Madness.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES SEAWOLF GIANT KILLERS

Although classified as an NCAA Division II basketball program, the Seawolves have never shied away from

playing the best teams in college basketball. On more than a few occasions, they have proved to be giant killers against that tough competition. UAA regularly plays three to five games each season against Division I programs, and the team takes pride in its success against quality foes. Perhaps the most memorable moment in UAA basketball history came when the Seawolves knocked off No. 2-ranked Michigan 70-66 at the Utah Seiko Classic during the 1988-89 season. That season, the Wolverines won the NCAA title. The Seawolves annually play more Division I teams than any other program in Division II. Last season, UAA played Washington State, Nicholls State and eventual NCAA qualifier Houston. Following is a list of the 41 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Auburn California Canisius Dayton Drexel Eastern Kentucky Grambling State High Point Houston Idaho Iona

Jackson State Lafayette Louisiana Tech Maine Miami (Fla.) Michigan Missouri Missouri-Kansas City Montana New Mexico Nicholls State

Notre Dame Pacific Penn State Rhode Island Samford San Francisco Santa Clara Southern Illinois Southern Methodist Tennessee Texas

ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEAWOLVES Led by a proven trio of seniors and four more

Quick Facts

battle-tested letterwinners, the 2010-11 Alaska Anchorage men’s basketball team has a solid foundation for success in Rusty Osborne’s seventh season as head coach. Mix in eight newcomers and a pair of returning redshirts, and the Seawolves could be set with the ingredients to whip up a postseason berth for the first time since their 2008 Final 4 run. Head coach Rusty Osborne’s system revolves around defense and three-point accuracy – two areas where the Seawolves have excelled in recent years. Last season UAA led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in scoring defense for the fifth straight campaign, and the team has finished in the top 10 in NCAA Div. II in terms of three-point percentage for four of the last five years. Leading the way on both ends of the court will be senior wing Brandon Walker, a returning first-team All-GNAC pick last year after averaging 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. The 6-3, 200-pounder scored in double figures in 22 of UAA’s last 25 games, including nine outings with 20 points or more. Along with Walker, the only other Seawolf to start all 27 games last year was senior forward Casey Robinson. After sitting out 2008-09 because of a knee injury, Robinson returned in full force for his junior season, averaging 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and knocking down a teamhigh 66 three-pointers. The all-league honorable mention selection was a defensive force too, easily leading the Seawolves in charges taken. UAA’s third senior, Drew Robinson (no relation to Casey), is eager to show what he can do with a full, healthy season. As a transfer from Salt Lake CC last year, the point guard was a steady presence in the non-conference portion of the schedule before missing nine games at midseason with a stress fracture. Luckily, Robinson seemed to hit his stride at season’s end. Osborne’s squad features a fourth returning starter in sophomore center Liam Gibcus. As a rookie, the 6-10, 245-pound Australian averaged 3.9 points and 2.3 rebounds, while shooting 51 percent.

Rusty Osborne Head Coach

Brandon Walker Senior Guard

DID YOU KNOW? • The Seawolves have posted winning seasons in 27 of their 33 years as an NCAA Division II men’s basketball program. • In 2010, UAA’s Speech & Debate team attained a 12th-place ranking in the world based on its cumulative success at the last five World Universities Debating Championships. That places UAA No. 2 in the United States (behind Yale and tied with Harvard).

Also back from last season is another pair of Aussies – guards Steve White and Bryce Arnott. White, a 6-0 junior, showed steady improvement throughout his second season, playing 13.4 minutes per game and shooting a steady 48 percent from the field. Arnott, meanwhile, appeared in all but one game, logging 12.5 minutes and averaging 2.3 points. Back for the Green & Gold after spending two seasons away is junior guard Phillip Hearn. The former West Anchorage High star redshirted for UAA’s Final 4 squad before transferring briefly. He should bring an added weapon with a 6-6, 200-pound frame and a deadly jump shot. Among the newcomers, junior center Taylor Rohde comes to UAA as the program’s first-ever transfer from a “power” conference, having spent his first two seasons at Arizona State. The 2008 Arizona Gatorade and Phoenix Metro Player of the Year had a legendary career at Pinnacle High, where he averaged 29.5 points and 12.0 boards. More sizeable transfers – Matt Peterson (6-7, 265), Jeremy Jones (6-7, 190), Chris Weitzel (6-7, 245) and Chris Plooy (6-5, 200)

QUICK FACTS

produced 68 wins in the past three seasons – the second-best such run in school history – and can make that note even better as seniors Ty Abbott, Rihards Kuksiks and Jamelle McMillan have all had a big hand in the success and return for 200910 Pac-10 Coach-of-the-Year Herb Sendek. Abbott, who averaged 14.7 points and 5.7 boards in Pac-10 play, earned first-team AllPac-10 last year despite having arthroscopic surgery on his knee in October. When he got healthy, he was on fire, which is why expectations are high for this year after he had a great summer in the weight room. He likely will set the ASU record for games played (he has 101 entering the year). Meanwhile, Kuksiks has played in a lot of big games at ASU and that shows in his ability to get comfortable in tight games. Against the past seven ranked opponents, the 6-6 Kuksiks is 22 of 45 (.489) from the three-point stripe. With McMillan, some might say statistics don’t tell the whole story. McMillan was averaging 32.8 minutes, 9.3 points and more than four boards and assists in the eight games prior to an injury last year. The numbers dropped after he returned, but in the 29 games he played, ASU gave up just 57.1 points per game with him directing the zone. In the four games he was in a nice shirt and tie, ASU gave up 70.5 points. ASU returns two other lettermen, including one part-time starter from a year ago. Wing Trent Lockett earned Pac-10 AllFreshman Team honors last year as he averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 boards in 19.6 minutes per game. The Minnesota native started 15 times and had nine double-figure scoring games, including 13 points against eventual NCAA champ Duke, 11 points vs. No. 24 Washington, 15 points vs. Pac-10 champion California and 10 points in a crucial road win at Washington State. He also won’t make a mental mistake, as he is a member of ASU’s prestigious Barrett Honors College. Big man Ruslan Pateev got bigger this summer back in Russia, up to 250 pounds after playing at around 230 last year. He played in 20 games last year and shot .517 from the floor.

Herb Sendek Head Coach

Ty Abbott Senior Guard

DID YOU KNOW? • ASU coach Herb Sendek has eight former assistants serving as Division I head coaches, most in the nation. • For two of the past four years, students at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication finished first in the nation in the broadcast news portion of the prestigious Hearst Journalism Awards, often referred to as the Pulitzers of college journalism.

ASU returns three starters and five lettermen, but welcomes seven newcomers from a variety of backgrounds. Its new bunch includes four true freshmen (including one who just turned 21), a prep school transfer and two junior college transfers. They come in various shapes and sizes and positions. Keala King is a long, 6-5 wing who comes to ASU as one of its highest ranked recruits out of Mater Dei High School. Long is also the best way to describe fellow southpaw Brandon Dunson, a 6-1 jet from Wabash Community College who has a 6-7 wingspan. You want more length and speed? Sophomore Carrick Felix is a 6-6, 196-pound jumping jack from the College of Southern Idaho, while 6-1 freshman Corey Hawkins, who scored more points in Arizona High School history than any other human, brings a floor game you would expect from the son of a NBA and college great (Hersey Hawkins). Can any of these guys shoot? Well, yes, but probably none as well as 6-5 Chanse Creekmur,

BALL STATE CARDINALS Ball State head coach Billy Taylor is in his fourth year at the helm of the Cardinals and the program has grown leaps and bounds since his arrival. The Cardinals have increased their win total each of the past three seasons and posted a 15-15 overall record last year, their best finish since 2004-05. Ball State is projected to be one of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference heading into the year. Expectations are high in 2010-11 as the Cardinals return four full-time starters and five players who started at least 11 games last year. The Cardinals also add a six-member recruiting class that includes five highly touted freshmen who are expected to contribute from the very beginning. The Cardinals are led by three-year starter and lone senior Malik Perry, who has played in 85 career games. Also headlining the team is junior forward Jarrod Jones, who earned First Team All-MAC honors last year. Jones has led the Cardinals in scoring and rebounding since he stepped on campus, including averages of 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds last year while earning all-region accolades. Ball State also welcomes the return of junior point guard Randy Davis, who burst onto the scene in MAC play last year. Davis finished second on the team in scoring at 10.3 points per game but finished the year averaging 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists over the final 12 games. He joins Perry as co-captains for the 2010-11 season. Sophomore guard Jauwan Scaife enters his second season at BSU after turning in MAC All-Freshman Team accolades last year. Scaife started 29 of 30 games last season and averaged a team-high 30.3 minutes per game. The Cardinals also return junior guard Pierre Sneed, who started 23 games as the Cardinals’ top perimeter defender. Also, junior forward Mo Hubbard returns after playing all 30 games last year, despite battling through an injury that required surgery after the season. Ball State’s recruiting class was one of the top in the MAC with five highly touted freshmen and a sophomore transfer from Wright

Jesse Berry joins the Cardinals after turning in one of the top careers in the state of Indiana, finishing his time at Jefferson High School as the school’s top scorer in program history and the leading scorer in Tippecanoe County history with 1,553 points. Berry finished 10th in the state in scoring as a senior (23.5) and second in the state as a junior (27.3).

DRAKE BULLDOGS Gone

are four seniors, including first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference performer Josh Young, who graduated as the school’s career scoring leader, but what has emerged for Drake basketball is an infusion of youth and talent ready to take the Bulldogs to new heights. What remains is a young roster with only one senior – guard Ryan Wedel – and the nucleus of the league’s top recruiting classes in each of the past two seasons. The players returning and the signees that step foot on the Drake Knapp Center court are as gifted as head coach Mark Phelps has enjoyed during his tenure at Drake. Guards Wedel and Frank Wiseler and sophomore center Seth VanDeest return as starters from last year’s team. Wedel anchors the backcourt and is the team’s top returning scorer after averaging 11.1 points. Named to the MVC All-Newcomer team, Wedel started at point guard in 14 straight games to open the 2009-10 campaign before moving to off-guard. He scored in double figures in 19 games and ranked second in the MVC in steals. Wedel also led Drake with 66 three-pointers, but it is his leadership that Phelps is counting on. Wiseler, a junior, hopes to pick up where he left off from last season when he started the last 14 games at point guard. A member of the Luxembourg national team, Wiseler averaged 4.4 points and 2.5 assists for the Bulldogs last year. VanDeest drew raves with his game-bygame improvement in the post last year and was rewarded by being named to the MVC All-Freshman Team. He started all 33 games at center, averaging 8.5 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 48.8 percent. He ranked second in the MVC in blocked shots with a Drake freshman single-season school-record 45 (1.4 avg.). With a year’s experience behind them, 6-8 sophomores Aaron Hawley, Ben Simons and Reece Uhlenhopp look to contribute more to the frontline fortunes. Simons averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds while starting in 13 games last year. He possesses a strong perimeter game, scoring a career-high 24 points against Iowa State, while hitting a career-high five three-point baskets

at Indiana State. Hawley can play both inside and outside after averaging 4.7 points and 2.0 rebounds last year. Uhlenhopp also has the combination of being physical in the paint while displaying a soft touch from the outside. The addition of 6-8 sophomore forward Jordan Clarke and 6-9 junior forward Kraidon Woods also provides athleticism, length and maturity. Clarke sat out last year after transferring from Vermont, while Woods, a transfer from Binghamton, began his collegiate career at Arizona State where he played in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Bulldogs are loaded with young, skilled depth in the backcourt and perimeter, led by freshman Rayvonte Rice, who was named the 2009-10 Gatorade Illinois Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

HOUSTON BAPTIST HUSKIES In the inaugural season of the Great West Conference last year, Houston Baptist finished second during the regular season, then fell in the championship game of the conference tournament. All five returning Huskies, which includes four seniors, played significant minutes last year and were left disappointed by coming up short in their title run. HBU has been picked to finish second once again, but in order to maintain their place among the league’s elite and accomplish their championship mission, it must fill the void left by its two senior leaders from a year ago. Mario Flaherty averaged 13.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, while blocking 47 shots in the post to earn first-team all-conference honors. Guard Wendell Preadom earned secondteam all-conference honors, also averaging 13.8 points per game and pulling down 4.9 rebounds per contest. To offset the loss, HBU will utilize its length, speed and athleticism to display more of the run-and-press style head coach Ron Cottrell likes to play. Cottrell enters his 20th season at the helm of the Huskies’ program nine wins shy of 400 for his career. Leading the way for the Huskies this season will be last year’s Great West Newcomer of the Year, senior forward Andrew Gonzalez. Gonzalez was tabbed the Great West Preseason Player of the Year by the conference coaches after leading the league in scoring and earning first-team all-conference honors. Senior guard Michael Moss played in every game last season and made 25 starts. He earned Great West Preseason Honorable Mention after averaging 5.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, while leading the league in steals with 2.2 per game, and ranking second with 4.1 assists per contest. At shooting guard, sophomore Miles Dixon averaged 7.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game to earn Great West Preseason Honorable Mention. Senior guard Shawn Echols

Berry and sophomore Aaron Hendrix, who is in his third year with the program, will provide the Huskies with more depth on the outside. In addition to Gonzalez, the Huskies return another senior leader at the forward position in Fred Hinnenkamp, who is the only player in his fourth year on the squad. Hinnenkamp played all 33 games, averaging 12.6 minutes per contest last season and can score both inside and outside.

ST. JOHN’S RED STORM St. John’s head men’s basketball coach Steve

Lavin has officially been a New Yorker for only a matter of months, but in that time he has taken the Big Apple by storm, and has given new meaning to the moniker “the city that never sleeps.” Lavin – whose seven-year coaching record at UCLA included six NCAA Tournament appearances, five trips to the NCAA Round of 16 and six seasons of 21 wins or more – became the 19th head men’s basketball coach in St. John’s 102-plus years of storied hardwood tradition on March 30, 2010. Trading in his broadcaster’s microphone for the whistle and clipboard once again after seven years as one of ESPN’s premier college basketball analysts, Lavin has spent his first half-year in the Empire State revitalizing the foremost college basketball program in the city that has called the game its own for more than a century. The 2010-11 Red Storm men’s basketball team returns five starters and 12 letterwinners from a 2009-10 team that posted a 17-16 record and reached the first round of the Postseason NIT. The Red Storm was picked sixth in the Big East’s preseason coaches’ poll and is looking to improve upon a 13th-place league finish in 200910. St. John’s 10-man senior class includes returning scoring leaders D.J. Kennedy (15.1 points per game, 6.1 rebounds per game, 3.1 assists per game, 1.2 steals per game), who was a second-team Preseason All-Big East selection, Dwight Hardy (10.5 ppg, .383 3FG%) and Paris Horne (9.2 ppg). Working strategically, Lavin has breathed new life into St. John’s proud program. Lavin first assembled an elite and specialized basketball staff that is among the NCAA’s finest, comprised of individuals with NBA coaching experience, a history of national and city championships and roots that have sprung up from each corner of New York City’s rich basketball culture and extend not only across the nation, but across the globe. A diligent and focused recruiter with a

blue-collar work ethic, and two No. 1 recruiting classes and one No. 2 class to his credit, Lavin used his first available scholarship at St. John’s to secure a commitment from the Los Angeles City and State of California Player of the Year, Dwayne Polee II. Arriving in New York and faced with the daunting task of filling 10 available scholarships for 2011-12 – unprecedented in the history of contemporary college basketball – he and his staff have not only met the challenge with passion and precision, but have positioned St. John’s to land a national top-5 recruiting class that will rank among the most heralded in school history. Lavin’s arrival has returned a definite luster to the St. John’s program, and the buzz has reverberated throughout the “media capital of the world.” As the headlines pile up and a sense of energy and enthusiasm grows among St. John’s faithful fan base, it will be Lavin’s strategy, focus and indefatigable work ethic that carry the Red Storm back into the realm of NCAA Tournament success, this season and beyond.

he has his work cut out for him this season, but at the same time he has cautious optimism when talking about the Thunderbirds’ prospects in 2010-11. For the first time in their four seasons at SUU, Reid and his staff will have a somewhat experienced squad when they take the court. The past three years they have never had more than five returning lettermen, and although there is just one senior on this year’s squad, there are seven lettermen back, and all were contributors last year. Junior Jake Nielson split time between the wing and point guard last season and wound up leading the team in assists (2.9 apg) and steals (41), while ranking second in scoring at 8.4 points per game and finishing fourth in rebounds with 3.2 per game. Junior forward Matt Massey was a 7.9 ppg scorer who was third on the squad with 4.3 rebounds per game. As a true freshman, center Matt Hodgson broke the SUU singleseason blocks record with 64, was second on the team in rebounding at 4.8 rpg, and averaged 6.3 points while shooting at a .584 clip. Ryan Brimley, the only senior of the squad, got 12 starts but his biggest contributions came in the form of firepower off the bench. He wound up tied with Massey in second place on the team’s minutes-played list. Brimley, who hit 84.8 percent of his free throws, averaged 7.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Sophomore forward Jackson Stevenett walked on to the team but wound up playing in 21 games with four starts and averaged 4.0 points and 2.9 boards. Sophomore Jordan Weirick, another wing, didn’t get a start but appeared in 26 games, finishing with averages of 3.3 points and 2.0 assists. Sophomore Damon Heuir appeared in 25 games and was the team’s point guard down the stretch. He averaged 2.5 points and 1.6 rebounds. The other returner is sophomore wing Brian Cameron, who played in two games early in the season before suffering an injury and sitting out the rest of the year. SUU will also be throwing a trio of junior-

regular-season titles, coach Randy Rahe’s Weber State squad is once again the favorite to be the class of the league in 2010-11, topping both the coaches’ and media preseason polls. The Wildcats return six lettermen and two starters from a team which went 20-11 overall and 13-3 in the Big Sky. A key will replacing reigning Big Sky Newcomer-of-the-Year Franklin Session and his 10.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, but the Wildcats have an excellent place to start with All-America candidate Damian Lillard. A 6-2 guard, Lillard was last year’s Big Sky Conference MVP as just a sophomore and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors from the Associated Press. The two-time all-conference performer led the Big Sky in scoring at 19.9 ppg and shot just over 85 percent from the free-throw line. Lillard began this season just 27 points shy of reaching 1,000 for his career. Rahe’s other returning starter is junior forward Kyle Bullinger. The 6-6, 215-pounder has played and started in all 62 games the past two seasons, averaging 8.7 ppg both years at the power forward spot. Bullinger could branch out and see action at small forward as well this season. Meanwhile, 6-3 guard Lindsey Hughey returns after averaging 7.8 points off the bench. The senior should be ready to step into the starting role after earning second team JC AllAmerica honors two years ago. Up front, 6-8, 230-pound Darin Mahoney has backed up both the power forward and center spots each of the past two seasons. Called “the ultimate team player” by Rahe, Mahoney is the team’s “jack of all trades,” doing all the little things – passing, setting screens, blocking shots, playing strong defense, blocking out, rebounding – that coaches love. Trevor Morris will be a key component for the Wildcats in 2010-11, taking over in the middle from three-year starter Steve Panos. The 6-9, 250-pound senior has appeared in 90 career

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS

Seawolf success doesn’t stop with Shootout When it comes to success stories, the Carrs/

Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is just the beginning for the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic department. In their relatively short history – dating back to 1977 – Seawolf teams and individual athletes have established a great tradition of success. UAA sponsors 11 NCAA sports, with men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics competing at the Division I level. The Seawolves’ other squads – men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s skiing, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field – all compete under the Division II banner. The Seawolves delivered one of the best years in school history in 2009-10 as they qualified eight teams for NCAAs, earned two conference titles, and finished 46th of 288 Div. II schools in the national Director’s Cup. Under the guidance of sixth-year coach Dave Shyiak, the Seawolf hockey team plays in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, widely considered the sport’s premier conference, having produced 36 NCAA champions in the last 58 years. The hockey team’s signature event is the Kendall Hockey Classic, a four-team tournament held every October. Since moving up to the Div. I ranks in 2003, the Seawolf gymnasts have regularly challenged programs from the nation’s top conferences, such as Nebraska, Kentucky and Iowa. Under longtime head coach Paul Stoklos, the Seawolves have produced 12 All-Americans and are regularly among the nation’s best in the classroom. Last year, UAA put 10 of its 11 eligible gymnasts on the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation AllAcademic Team. On the cross country trails, veteran coach Michael Friess has established both his men’s and women’s squads as national contenders yearin and year-out. In 2009, the Seawolf women finished a program-best 5th place and the men were 17th at the NCAA Championships, while the women captured their first Great Northwest Athletic Conference and West Region titles. That momentum has carried into the current campaign, with the women rising to a No. 3 national ranking and the men to No. 8. Senior Marko Cheseto is the defending GNAC individual champion and among five current Seawolves – along with Micah Chelimo, Jake Parisien, Ruth Keino and Miriam Kipng’eno – to boast AllAmerica accolades. UAA’s volleyball team, led by third-year coach Chris Green, is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, qualifying last year for its first NCAA appearance in 19 years and capturing its first GNAC title. Led by hometown stars such as allconference hitter Jackie Matthisen, this year’s team has reached as high as No. 23 in the national poll while challenging for another playoff spot. While UAA’s skiing program is technically Division II, teams from all three NCAA divisions compete on a level playing field at

the sport’s national meet. And the Seawolves are consistently tops among non-Division I programs, placing in the overall top-10 at the NCAA Championships for 25 of the past 26 seasons. At the 2010 NCAA Ski Championships, UAA produced five All-Americans and posted the program’s highest-ever regional finish in second place. Then-freshman Andreas Adde provided one of the year’s brightest highlights when he skied to the NCAA title in the slalom. UAA has twice hosted the NCAA Ski Championships (1987 and 2002) at their worldclass venues – Mount Alyeska (Alpine) and Kincaid Park (Nordic). The men’s and women’s basketball teams have re-risen to national prominence lately. In 2008, UAA became just the second Division II school ever to send its men’s and women’s squads to the NCAA Semifinals in the same season, and the Seawolf women proved talented enough to repeat their feat in 2009.

Overall, the women’s team has advanced to the NCAA Tournament 10 times, while the men have made 14 NCAAs. The Seawolf men have produced 10 All-Americans, and in 1988 they were the NCAA Division II runner-up. Perhaps nothing embodies UAA’s quick rise to prominence as much as its men’s and women’s track & field teams. Having competed as a fully sponsored sport since only 2005, the Seawolves have already produced 16 AllAmerica certificates, including an NCAA Div. II national title for Palmer native David Registe in the long jump. Last spring the UAA men finished 14th at NCAAs, marking their third straight top20 national showing. While all these athletic accomplishments are quite impressive, Seawolf student-athletes have done something even more important. Over the last 17 years, the Seawolf teams have earned a composite grade point average over 3.0 14 times.

Dr. Steve Cobb

Director of Athletics – Univ. of Alaska Anchorage

In 10 seasons at the helm of the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic

department, Dr. Steve Cobb has helped take Seawolf Athletics to unprecedented heights. Not only have the Seawolves excelled in the field of competition, but the foundation for future success has been set in several ways. The 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 campaigns were three of the most memorable in school history, highlighted by three Final Four appearances for Seawolf basketball teams (women twice, men once), and NCAA top-15 finishes for men’s and women’s cross country, skiing (three times), and men’s track & field (twice). With UAA’s concurrent NCAA basketball runs in 2008, UAA became just the second school in Division II history to qualify both its men’s and women’s squads for the national semifinals. Under Dr. Cobb’s leadership, a planning phase is also under way for the construction of a new on-campus sports facility at UAA. He has also recently overseen several upgrades to UAA’s current facilities, including the installation of a new gym floor and bleachers and the construction of the All-American/Academic All-American honors wall. In 2005, Dr. Cobb helped establish the Seawolf Legacy Fund to provide a permanent endowment fund that will ensure full funding for future athletic scholarships at UAA. Seawolf Legacy surpassed the $1 million mark in donations in early 2008. Early in his tenure, he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame and was instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Kendall Hockey Classic and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments. The Alabama native has also overseen the creation of the Hockey Classic Wall of Champions above the Seawolves’ practice rink, as well as men’s and women’s Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout champions displays in the gymnasium. A former football coach, Dr. Cobb served as the athletic director at Georgia Southwestern State University before coming to UAA. In five years at Georgia Southwestern, Dr. Cobb raised the Hurricanes’ overall program to become one of the most successful in the nation, making the NAIA national playoffs in six of its seven sports and winning multiple conference championships in men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball. From 1992-95, Dr. Cobb was an assistant athletic director at Iowa Wesleyan College, where he served as the football team’s defensive coordinator and special teams coach. He also had stints as an assistant football coach at East Texas State University (1990-92) and Sul Ross State University (1988-90). A 1981 graduate of the University of Montevallo, Dr. Cobb also holds a Doctorate of Education degree from East Texas State as well as a Master of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University and a Master of Education degree from Sul Ross State. Dr. Cobb and his wife Sandra reside in East Anchorage.

MUNICIPALITY OF

ANCHORAGE W

ith city boundaries that stretch to nearly the size of the state of Delaware, more than 275,000 people are lucky to call Anchorage home. On a global scale, Anchorage is located as far north as Helsinki, Finland, and as far west as Honolulu, Hawaii. Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city (more than four times larger than the second-largest town), an international air crossroads, and the business and cultural center of the state. Almost 300 flights arrive daily at Anchorage International Airport. Anchorage is a recreational paradise as well, boasting more than 14,000 acres of parkland and nearly 300 miles of paved and wilderness biking, skiing and hiking trails. In addition, the city sports dozens of

lakes, softball, baseball and soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, and six scenic golf courses. Chugach State Park is located 15 minutes from downtown Anchorage. With 495,000 acres, Chugach is the third-largest state park in the United States and offers a variety of year-round recreation, including hiking, mountain biking, camping, cross country skiing and wildlife viewing. Due to the warming effects of the Pacific Ocean currents and protection from the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is located in Alaska’s so-called banana belt. Anchorage’s climate resembles that of San Francisco in the summer (highs of 75 degrees) and a Rocky Mountain ski resort in the winter (lows of 20
