MERCER SPORTS NETWORK Mercer University Athletics has announced that it has renewed its contract with Clear Channel Broadcasting Inc. to serve as the flagship radio network for the University’s men’s basketball games in 2010-11. The broadcaster’s sister FM stations of Peach 96.5 & 102.5 (WPCH and WZCH ) will serve as the flagship stations for all broadcasts this season. MU will also broadcast selected Bears’ women’s basketball, baseball and softball games. Plans for the expanded coverage to include those sports are currently being formulated, but have not yet been finalized. Mercer’s Atlantic Sun Conference games will be among the broadcasts, including the 2011 A-Sun Basketball Championships, to be played once again this year on the Mercer campus at the University Center. Rick Cameron, “Voice of the Bears” for the past four seasons, will continue to call the play-by-play. Mercer’s senior assistant vice president for marketing communications returned to the broadcast booth in 2006 after originally doing radio play-by- play in the late 1970s.

2010-11 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2010-11 SEASON PREVIEW The 2010-11 season marks a new era in Mercer women’s basketball. Susie Gardner, a highly decorated coach who has spent the last seven seasons coaching at Arkansas and Florida, has been tabbed to take over a program has finished above .500 twice over the past decade. Building a contender at Mercer is a welcome challenge for Gardner, who has made transforming basketball programs a trademark quality throughout her 24 years as a head coach. In 1996, Gardner assumed the reigns of an Austin Peay program that had posted a 59-103 record in the previous five seasons. By the end of her stint with Lady Governors, the team had won three-straight Ohio Valley Conference tournaments. Performing a similar feat at Mercer will test the coaches’ ability to mold young players into winners. The 2010-11 Bears feature just two upperclassmen and only five players who have seen significant playing time at the Division I level. Half of Mercer’s one dozen players aim to touch a collegiate basketball court for the first time this season. Senior Kourtney Carter and junior Neicey Lewis are the lone returning starters from last year’s team that finished 14-16 (11-9 A-Sun). Carter and Lewis will be called upon to anchor the young squad that was picked ninth and eighth, respectively in the Atlantic Sun preseason coaches’ and media polls. Five players return for their sophomore campaign in Orange and Black, highlighted by Sharmesia Smith and Alex Phillips. Last season, Smith saw action in 28 games and earned a start in five contests. In just her second collegiate game, Smith netted 13 points and collected six rebounds in a road win at Charleston Southern. All told, Smith finished the season with 87 points and 51 boards.

BEARS

Mercer welcomes a quintet of fresh faces in 2010-11, each with an opportunity to make an immediate impact on the team. Forward Brittnee Hazel and guards Ariel Barnes, Sharnea Boykin, Rebecca Clanton and Briana Williams comprise Gardner’s freshman class.

COACHES

Joining Smith and Phillips as returning sophomores are Kendra Grant, Keema Blakney and Amber Chatmon. Grant saw playing time in 25 games last season, while Blakney played in five contests. Chatmon looks to suit up for her first game for the Bears this season.

PREVIEW

Phillips appeared in 25 contests last season, averaging 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 points per game. Phillips proved to be an impact player on the defensive end, finishing the season ranked 12th in the league in blocked shots per game (0.72). Phillips was one of just three freshmen to rank among the league’s top-15 shot blockers.

SCHEDULE PREVIEW

Mercer’s first official game comes Nov. 12 at Auburn, where the Bears search to pull the all-time series between the teams even at 10 apiece. Mercer and Auburn have not met on the hardwood since Dec. 8, 2001, when Au-

After a preseason tune-up against Georgia College and State at the University Center on Nov. 4, the Bears jump headfirst into a stretch of six non-conference games, five of which to be contested in enemy territory.

RECORDS

Of Mercer’s 20 opponents, five (Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, East Tennessee State and Florida Gulf Coast) finished last season among the nation’s top 100 RPI teams according to RealTimeRPI.com. Three, Georgia, Georgia Tech and ETSU competed in the NCAA tournament, with Georgia sporting a Sweet-16 appearance.

REVIEW

MACON, Ga. – High profile matchups with Auburn, Georgia and Georgia Tech highlight the 2010-11 Mercer women’s basketball schedule as announced by head coach Susie Gardner. All told, the Bears tackle ten nonconference opponents in addition to a challenging 20-game Atlantic Sun slate.

burn escaped with a 59-57 victory.

Following the clash with Auburn, Mercer travels south to meet Georgia Southern on Nov. 16 before returning to Macon for its home opener against Furman on Nov. 19. The Paladins have added incentive to spoil Gardner’s University Center debut after Mercer claimed an impressive 75-62 win at Furman a season ago. Thanksgiving sees the Orange and Black in Atlanta for the Georgia State Thanksgiving Tournament on Nov. 2627. Aside from the host Panthers, Rice and Alabama A&M will participate in the event. As the calendar flips to December, the Bears shift gears and hit the road for their first weekend of A-Sun competition. On Dec. 2 Mercer battles Belmont before capping the weekend at Lipscomb. After the Nashville swing, Mercer spends the remainder of 2010 battling out-of-league opponents before returning to conference action on Jan. 3 versus ETSU. On Dec. 7, Gardner will lead the Bears in action against her alma mater, Georgia. The Bulldogs compiled a 25-9 (9-7 SEC) record last season, including a 16-game unbeaten streak to start the year. After the tussle with Georgia, Mercer hosts back-to-back games at the University Center against Big South Conference foes Charleston Southern and UNC Asheville on Dec. 20 and 22, respectively.

PREVIEW

Mercer’s final non-conference test is scheduled for Dec. 28 against Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Georgia Tech posted a 23-10 (8-6 ACC) record a year ago and return four of its top-five scorers in 2010-11.

Mercer’s Jan. 3 home game versus ETSU marks the first challenge in an 18-game conference stretch to finish the regular season. The matchup with the Lady Bucs pits the toptwo seeded teams in the A-Sun a season ago and sets the tone for the two-month grind leading up the conference tournament. In the final two months of the regular season, Mercer will host all ten A-Sun opponents at the University Center. “I’m familiar with many of the schools in the league because of my past coaching experiences,” Gardner said. “When I was at Florida, we played FGCU, North Florida, Stetson and Jacksonville. Being from Tennessee, I’m familiar with Belmont and Lipscomb. Our league is interesting because its difficult to predict who might come out on top each year.” Mercer University will once again play host to the 2011 A-Sun Basketball Championships on March 2-5 at the University Center. The event will put the MU campus, city of Macon and middle Georgia region on display for participating teams, as well as regional and national television audiences.

SUSIE GARDNER Head Coach First Season Georgia, 1986

Mercer University named veteran NCAA Division I coach Susie Gardner as the school’s 10th women’s basketball head coach on June 24, 2010.

Most recently, Gardner spent the three campaigns (2007-10) as an assistant coach at the University of Florida. She joined the Gators after four seasons (2003-07) as the head coach at the University of Arkansas to give her the past seven seasons as a coach in the Southeastern Conference, regarded by many as the toughest college women’s basketball league in the nation.

With Gardner at the Razorbacks’ helm in 2004-05, Arkansas earned a trip to the WNIT tournament. Prior to that, she had the SEC “Player of the Year” in 2003-04. Arkansas was a combined 64-54 during Gardner’s tenure and her 2005-06 team raced out to the best SEC start in the Lady ‘Hogs program history. Gardner cut her teeth as a Division I head coach at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., where she had a highly-successful seven season run (1996-2003) and was 112-93. The Lady Govs accomplishments during that period included three Ohio Valley Conference tournament championships (2001, 2002 & 2003), and OVC regular season title (2003) and three NCAA post-season berths (2001, 2002 & 2003). Gardner was tabbed as the OVC “Coach of the Year” in 2003. She also produced the OVC “Player of the Year” in both 2003 and 2004, with her players also garnering the league’s “Freshman of the Year” awards twice (2000 and 2001).

MERCER

REVIEW

At Florida, the 2009 Gators advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament with Gardner on staff. Likewise, UF sandwiched that with WNIT appearances in 2008 and 2010 (advancing to the round of 16 during Gardner’s first year and to the second round last season).

COACHES

PREVIEW

Gardner brings a wealth of experience with her as she enters her 25th season on the sidelines. Eighteen of those seasons have been at the Division I level, including 12 as a head coach. Between her time as a college coach and player, Gardner has been involved in a combined 13 NCAA tournaments (four as a player and nine as a coach) and three WNIT bids.

From 1992-95, Gardner was the assistant coach at Western Athletic Conference power San Diego State University. In her three seasons with the Aztecs, she was a part of a program that won threeconsecutive WAC tournament championships and, subsequently, also made three NCAA tourney appearances. SDSU was 69-20 with Gardner on staff and garnered two WAC regular season crowns in 1994 and 1995.

2010-11 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Gardner’s first “official” job as a coach came at Anderson College (now University), where she was the head coach of what was then a junior college program at the South Carolina campus from 1988-92. Her first season was a stellar one, as the Trojans were 24-4 and were co-champions of the NJCAA’s Region 10. Her teams had runner-up Region 10 finishes in 1991 and 1992, as well. Gardner is no stranger to middle Georgia or the Southeast region, having spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at the University of Georgia (1986-88) following a highlysuccessful four-year playing career for the Bulldogs under legendary head coach Andy Landers. UGA made the NCAA Final Four her last two years as a player – including a national runner-up finish in 1985 - and reached the NCAA tournament both of her years as a graduate assistant, as well. The Bulldogs won the SEC title in 1983, 1984 and 1986 as Gardner played alongside other noteworthy Georgia players like Teresa Edwards, Janet Harris and Katrina McClain.

Swoffard played under Gardner for four seasons at Austin Peay, including two consecutive seasons in which the Lady Governors captured Ohio Valley Conference tournament championships and represented the league in the NCAA tournament (2000-02). Garnder discovered that Swoffard had a knack for recruiting talent at a young age. “She was always our student host for recruits and a great person to be around,” said Gardner. “Like Rhet, she’s been somebody I’ve wanted to hire since I left Arkansas.” Following her time at Austin Peay, Swoffard spent three seasons at the helm of the Georgia Metros AAU basketball team before joining the staff at Rowan University (N.J.) as a graduate assistant. Most recently, Swoffard has been an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith over the last four seasons. In her first year with the Lady Lions, Swoffard helped guide the team to a 34-2 record and the Bi-State Conference East Division title, the NJCAA Region II tournament championship and a third-place finish at the national tournament. Swoffard earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing from Austin Peay in 2002.

AMY JONES Assistant Coach First Season Presbyterian, 2008

Jones, a native of Sandersville, Ga., begins her tenure with the Bears after most recently serving as program coordinator for the University of Georgia women’s basketball program during the 2009-10 season. Jones’ responsibilities with the Lady Bulldogs included oversight of all game film and tape exchange, maintenance of the former player and friends of program directory and all aspects of scheduling games with opponents and contract production and distribution. “Amy came highly recommended by Georgia coaches Andy Landers and Cameron Newbauer,” Gardner said. “She has a hunger to be on the floor and I know she’ll be great. She’s done a lot of the behind the scenes things that are vital to a program’s success, such as scouting.” Prior to being named program coordinator, Jones functioned as the graduate manager for the Lady Bulldogs. In the summer of 2009, Jones also assisted Georgia head coach Andy Landers with the Lady Bulldogs basketball camps. Jones received her master’s degree from UGA in Exercise Science in May of 2010. Jones’ playing career came at Presbyterian College where she was a four-year starter before graduation in the spring of 2008.

Coll. of Charleston 97, MU 71 Nov. 20, 2009 Charleston, S.C. CSU Fieldhouse

In her collegiate debut, Mercer guard Lindsey Lowrie poured in 16 points on four-of-eight shooting from three point range, but her effort could not stop Oklahoma from taking a 108-66 victory in Friday night’s non-conference women’s basketball match held at the Lloyd Noble Center.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Senior guard LaToya Jackson tallied a teamhigh 19 points and dished out four assists, but her effort was not enough to stop the College of Charleston from claiming a 97-71 victory in Friday evening’s non-conference women’s basketball game held as part of the Lowcountry Classic.

With the win Oklahoma moves to 1-0 (0-0 Big 12) on the year while Mercer starts off 0-1 (0-0 A-Sun).

Jackson recorded her 19 points on 5-of-14 shooting from the field and also contributed three steals. Jackson’s classmate Courtney Ford poured in 17 points, notched five assists and snagged six rebounds in the loss.

Lowrie was just one of four Mercer players who recorded double-digit scoring efforts. Senior guards Courtney Ford and LaToya Jackson combined for 23 points while sophomore center Lacy Ramon tallied 13 points of her own. Ford recorded the game’s only double-double performance, add-ing 10 rebounds to her 12 points.

Mercer senior guard Courtney Ford was outstanding, finishing one steal short of a quadruple-double as the Bears topped Charleston Southern 87-77 in Saturday night’s non-conference women’s basketball game. Ford’s triple-double marked the first time the feat has been accomplished by a Mercer player since detailed records were started in the 1997-98 season. Ford scored 13 points, notched ten rebounds, dished out 15 assists and notched nine steals in the winning effort. Ford’s 15 helpers and nine steals were both career bests for the Orange Country, Calif. native. Mercer takes its first win of the young season, moving to 1-2 (0-0 A-Sun). Charleston Southern drops its second-straight game and falls to 1-2 (0-0 Big South). The game marked the finale of the Lowcountry Classic hosted by Charleston Southern.

GAME

Dec. 3, 2009 Macon, Ga. University Center

Mercer senior guards LaToya Jackson and Courtney Ford combined for 27 points as the Bears downed Lipscomb in Thursday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the University Center. Mercer moved 3-2 (1-0 A-Sun) while Lispcomb dropped to 2-7 (0-1 A-Sun). Despite being outscored 39-38 in the second half, Mercer was able to hold on and secure a win in its home opener for the third-straight season. Ford notched her third-straight double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Mercer outscored Lipscomb 31-20 in the first half behind a 41.4 percent shooting from the floor.

Mercer 98, Belmont 69 Dec. 5, 2009 Macon, Ga. University Center

Mercer senior guard Courtney Ford notched her second tripledouble of the season as the Bears cruised to a 98-69 win over Belmont in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game held in the University Center. Ford scored 14 points, pulled down 12 rebounds and dished out 10 assists, becoming just one of two players in Division I basketball to have multiple triple-doubles this season. St. Mary’s Louella Tomlinson also has two triple-doubles on the year. “Ford was incredible,” Mercer head coach Janell Jones said. “She is just fun to watch. There is not much coaching involved, you just let her play. She generates energy for the rest of the team and right now its just exciting to be a part of her senior year.” With today’s win, Mercer improves to 4-2 on the season and more importantly, 2-0 in A-Sun play. The Bears have now started conference play 2-0 for the second-straight season. Belmont, on the other hand, drops to 5-2 on the season with the loss and 1-1 in A-Sun action. “Its not every night a lot of people are clicking on all cylinders,” Jones said. “The girls were feeding off each other really well and we were able to contain their dribble-drive offense for the majority of the game.”

REVIEW

Mercer senior guard Courtney Ford led all scorers with 21 points, but her effort was not enough to stop Oklahoma State from claiming a 100-68 win in Saturday afternoon’s non-conference women’s basketball game held at Gallagher-Iba Arena. With their fourth-straight win the Cowgirls improve to 8-2 (0-0 Big 12) while the Bears drop to 4-4 (2-0 A-Sun). Ford added ten rebounds to notch her six double-double performance of the season. Sophomore point guard Lorin Hammer contributed a career-high 12 points off the bench in the return to her home state of Oklahoma. Mercer’s bench outscored Oklahoma State’s reserves 24-22, due in large part to Hammer’s effort.

GAME

MU 69, Stetson 57 Jan. 21, 2010 DeLand, Fla. University Center

Junior center Kourtney Carter led all scorers with 18 points as the Mercer women’s basketball team notched a 60-38 win over Kennesaw State in Saturday night’s Atlantic Sun conference game at the University Center.

Mercer senior forward Lacy Ramon posted career-highs in both points and rebounds to lead Mercer to a 69-57 win over Stetson in Thursday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game held at the Edmunds Center.

Mercer improved to 9-8 (6-2 A-Sun) while Kennesaw State fell to 5-11 (2-5 A-Sun).

With their third-straight win, the Bears improve to 10-8 (7-2 ASun) while Stetson (3-15, 3-6 A-Sun) falls for the third consecutive time.

Carter’s 18 points came on 9-of-15 shooting from the field. Carter finished just one rebound short of a double-double effort while also contributing a pair of steals and a block in the win. Senior guard Courtney Ford netted 14 points and collected 12 caroms in the winning effort. Mercer shot 47.2 % from the field in the first half en route to a 39-20 lead at intermission.

Ramon led all scorers with 20 points and pulled down 15 rebounds to notch her second career double-double performance. Ramon also contributed four steals in the win. Leading by just three (45-42) with 9:24 to go, Mercer ripped off an 11-2 run over the next four minutes to take a 12-point lead. Stetson would never recover from the surge and trailed by doubledigits for the remainder of the contest. Mercer’s 7-2 conference record marks the program’s best start in league play since joining the Atlantic Sun in 2001.

With 1:47 showing on the clock, Mercer trailed 76-71 and raced towards the offensive end looking to tighten the gap. Senior Courtney Ford beat a defender with a spin move in the paint and banked home a shot, seemingly bringing the Bears within three. After the ball went through the cylinder, the officials waved off the shot, charging Ford with a controversial traveling call.

BEARS

Mercer moved to 11-9 (8-3 A-Sun) while Stetson dropped to 4-17 (4-8 A-Sun). Jackson’s game-high 24 points came on 6-of-12 shooting from three point range. Jackson also added five boards and three steals in 37 minutes played. Jackson’s classmate, Courtney Ford, tallied 16 points, handed out seven assists and notched four steals in the win. In the second half, Mercer shot 50 percent from the field to put the game out of reach for the Hatters.

Feb. 18, 2010 Macon, Ga. University Center

Mercer senior guard LaToya Jackson tallied a team-high 14 points, but the Bears could not recover from an early deficit and fell to Campbell, 66-60 in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game.

Mercer guards Courtney Ford and Neicey Lewis each netted 11 points as the Bears rolled to a 61-47 victory over UNF in Thursday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the University Center.

Campbell led by as many as 18 in the first half, but the Bears whittled the host’s advantage to just two with 7:25 remaining in regulation. Leading by a slim, 51-49 margin, the Lady Camels out-scored Mercer 15-11 over the final 7:25 to capture the win.

With the win, Mercer snapped a five-game losing skid and improved to 12-14 (8-8 A-Sun). UNF fell to 9-17 (6-11 A-Sun).

With the victory, Campbell moves to 14-11 (9-7 A-Sun) while Mercer suffers its fifth-straight loss and drops to 11-14 (8-8 ASun). “Campbell shot the ball lights-out in the first half,” Mercer head coach Janell Jones said. “After the ten-minute mark we gave up five key offensive rebounds and turned the ball over on key possessions. That will get you beat in a close game.” Mercer’s Courtney Ford, Kourtney Carter and Neicey Lewis each netted 10 points in the losing effort. All ten of Carter’s points came in the first half.

Seniors Courtney Ford and LaToya Jackson combined for 32 points in their final regular-season game on the University Center floor, leading the Mercer women’s basketball team to a 63-46 victory against Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon.

After surrendering the opening field goal of the game, Mercer (13-14, 10-8 Atlantic Sun) scored 17 of the next 21 points to build a 17-6 advantage. The Dolphins (8-18, 7-11) methodically worked their way back into game, taking a one-point lead, 2928, in the final minute. However, Eryka Menzies scored as the Bears reclaimed the lead and Courtney Ford beat the halftime buzzer with a lay-up giving the Bears a 32-29 lead heading to the break.

Feb. 27, 2010 Nashville, Tenn. Allen Arena

A-SUN TOURNAMENT Mar. 3, 2010 Macon, Ga. University Center

Mercer’s inside-outside trio of forward Kourtney Carter and guards LaToya Jackson and Courtney Ford ravaged Lipscomb for a combined 56 points as the Bears claimed a 76-70 victory in Saturday’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game.

Saturday’s contest marked the season finale for both squads. Mercer completed its regular season with a 14-15 (11-9 A-Sun) record while Lipscomb ended 5-25 (3-17 A-Sun). While Lipscomb’s season is likely over, the Bears return to action as the No. 2 seed in next week’s Atlantic Sun tournament.

With the win, Mercer snapped a five-game losing skid and improved to 12-14 (8-8 A-Sun). UNF fell to 9-17 (6-11 A-Sun).

After trailing by as many as 19 in the second half, Lipscomb whittled away at the deficit and closed to within six (68-62) with just 46 seconds left. Needing to extend the game, Lipscomb fouled on each Mercer possession for the remainder of the game. Mercer countered Lipscomb’s strategy by getting the ball in the hands of its trusty guards before the Lipscomb fouls. Jackson and Ford combined to hit eight of their ten free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

MERCER LEGENDS

A list of legendary players at Mercer begins with Andrea Congreaves. Congreaves re-wrote the Mercer record book during her dazzling four-year career. She was a three-time Conference Player of the Year, and a member of the 1993 Kodak All-America team. She is the all-time leader in points, field goals and field goal percentage. She is second in free throws made, blocked shots, three-pointers made and attempted, third in rebounds and rebounding average. She led the Bears to back-to-back conference championships in 1990-1991 and 1991-1992. She led the nation in scoring in 1991-92 (33.0 ppg) and 1992-93 (31.0 ppg). Congreaves’ incredible season also included a field goal percentage of .633, 11.6 rebounds per game and 77 three-point field goals made on 185 attempts for a .416 percentage. Congreaves went on to play four seasons in the WNBA after her Mercer career, spending two seasons with the Charlotte Sting and two seasons with the Orlando Miracle. She is also the

She finished her career as the third member of the 2,000-point club with 2,098. Mumphrey is second in field goal percentage, finishing her career with 859 made on 1,524 attempts, a .564 shooting percentage, a mark that stood until the 1992-93 season.

only Bear to have her jersey retired, as she was honored with a ceremony in 1993. Vivian Humphrey is Mercer’s second all-time leading scorer with 2,284 points during her career between 1977-81. She held the top spot on the scoring list until Congreaves claimed the throne. Humphrey ranks second all-time in field goals made (925), and first in field goals attempted (2,125) as well as free throws made, edging out Congreaves with a career total of 434. Humphrey led the Bears during one of the most successful periods in the program’s history. During the 1978-79 season, the Bears won 22 games with just 10 losses under coach Jane Fontaine and went on to win the GAIAW state championship. After that season, the Bears came back strong to defend their title. The team posted a program-high 29 wins during the 1979-80 campaign. The Bears rolled through the GAIAW Tournament, and into the Region III tournament. The Bears hosted Texas in the AIAW National Tournament. The 81-80 loss ended Mercer’s season, but

ful combination, but they were not the first “Dynamic Duo” to wear the Orange and Black. From 1971-75, Myrel Huskey and Sybil Blalock formed a scoring force that helped Mercer to the most dominant four-year run in the program’s history. Huskey (1,867) and Blalock (1,856) rank fourth and fifth respectively on the scoring list, and were the first players to record 1,000 points in their career. Under head coach Peggy Collins, the Bears went 87-13, a .870 winning percentage. Myrel Huskey held the top spot on Mercer’s all-time scoring list for less than a decade, when Vivian Humphrey surpassed her career total, but her name still remains near the top in every major offensive category. Sybil Blalock, former Mercer head coach and current SWA, has achieved many accolades that are still remembered throughout the Mercer record books. She was honored as a member of the WNIT AllAmerica Team in 1975. Cindy Brogdon played only two seasons for Mercer, but she made an impact in her time here. She averaged 30.1 points per game for each season, the third highest total in school history. Brogdon finished with 1,746 points, placing her sixth on the scoring list. But her two individual seasons of 902 points in 1975-76 and 844 points in 1976-77 stood as the best single seasons until Congreaves’ remarkable 1991-92 season. After her Mercer career she played for the 1976 U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team in Montreal. Brogdon averaged 5.8 points and 2.0 rebounds, helping the American squad bring home a silver medal.

Myrel Huskey was Mercer’s first player to score 1,000 career points and currently ranks fourth with 1,867 points.

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION

Mercer women’s basketball began play in 1970 and it didn’t take long for the program to find success. In just its second year of existence, the Bears finished with a 21-1 record in 1971-72 and claimed the regularseason and tournament titles in the Southern Women’s Athletic Conference. The Bears went on a run of six-straight winning seasons under their first head coach, Peggy Collins, who is Mercer’s all-time winningest coach with 133 wins and has an .801 winning percentage. After a one season stumble in 1977-78 under new coach Jane Fontaine, the Bears rebounded quickly winning 51 games in the next two seasons under Fontaine. In 1978-79, under the direction of Fontaine, the Bears won the GAIAW state championship. That team was led by one of the legends of Mercer women’s basketball, Vivian Humphrey. Humphrey is the second leading scorer in Mercer history, and is one of three members of the exclusive 2,000-point club. Charlotte Nicholson was finishing up her brilliant career with 1,256 points, 11th in the Mercer record books. Kathy Singletary, eighth on Mercer’s all-time scoring list, was in her first year with the Bears. Mercer went 22-10 that season, notching victories over Georgia, Georgia Southern, Florida State, Florida, Ole Miss and Auburn. The Bears defeated Valdosta State for the GAIWA state title, but would lose to them in the third round of the Region III Tournament. The Bears kept right on rolling during the 1979-80 season, setting a school record with 29 wins. Humphrey returned to lead the Bears along with Singleton. That season saw the emergence of another future legend of Mercer, Emma Mumphrey. Mumphrey would finish her career with 2,098 points, third on Mercer’s all-time list. That Mercer team came out of the blocks on fire, ripping off seven wins in a row. The Bears had a one game stumble at Mississippi College, then notched three more wins over Auburn, Stetson and Pittsburgh. The Bears suffered back-to-back losses only once the entire season, against Clemson and Ole Miss. They went on a tear to end the season and went into the GAIAW Tournament having won 12 in a row, the third-longest win streak in the program’s history. Mercer’s tournament run consisted of wins over Valdosta State and Georgia Southern to win the GAIAW State Title, before moving on to the Region III tournament in Cleveland, Miss. Mercer swept the Region III tournament with wins over South Alabama, Florida State and Georgia Southern. This put the Bears at home hosting Texas in the AIAW National Tournament, after a tight game, the Longhorns prevailed 81-80 ending Mercer’s season, but the success of the 1979-1980 season still remains. Mercer went through some rebuilding after that magical season, but the success returned to Porter Gym for the 1984-85 season. The Bears were led by the senior leadership of Anita Meadows. She finished her career with a total of 1,088 points, which is 15th all-time for the Bears. Throw on top of that the strong play of freshmen and eventual 1,000-point club member Dawn Jackson (1,120 points, 14th all-time). Their 24 wins equaled the second highest total in school history. They compiled a 14-game win streak, a mark only be topped by the remarkable 19-0 start for the 1971-72 squad. This team found national success on a level the program had never seen before, reaching the NCAA Division II Tournament and continuing their run of great play. A victory over North Alabama clinched the NCAA South Championship, followed by a victory over Quinnipiac in Hamden, Conn., in the NCAA Quarterfinals put the Bears into the Final Four in Springfield, Mass. Central Missouri squared off against the Bears and their 14-consecutive wins, but Central Missouri prevailed 82-79.

Mercer’s most decorated player brought home the next two championship banners. Andrea Congreaves patrolled the hardwood of Porter Gym from 1989-1993, and filled up the stat sheets with 2,796 points, 1,107 field goals made including 153 3-pointers, 429 free throws made and 1,141 rebounds. She was supported by Stephany Raines during the two championship seasons; Raines is by no surprise, the all-time leader in assists with 851. Mercer opened its 1990-91 season against perennial powerhouse

The 1985 team that reached the Division II Final Four gave Mercer is first appearance in a national tournament since the 1980 squad played int he AIAW National Tournament. Old Dominion, on the road, under the guidance of first year head coach Lea Henry. The Bears went into ODU and walked out victorious and carried that momentum to a 4-0 start. After the fast start, the Bears lost two in a row for the only time during their title run. The Bears finished 1990-91 with an 18-9 overall record, and a 10-2 conference record. Congreaves led the nation in scoring average that season, with 33 points per contest. The Bears lost to Florida A&M in the conference tournament, ending their season, but not before the first New South Women’s Athletic Conference banner in program history adorned the rafters of Porter Gym. The 1991-92 Bears started slowly by dropping the first two games to Tennessee State and South Florida. After drawing back to .500 with consecutive wins over Marist and UCF, the Bears fell to 2-4 after two straight losses to Georgia and College of Charleston. Then things started clicking. The Bears ran off nine straight victories, a loss to Southeastern Louisiana slowed the roll, but it did not stop it. Mercer reeled off eight more wins, then traded consecutive losses to Florida International and Florida Atlantic with consecutive wins over Georgia State and Florida A&M. Mercer clinched a share of the regular season title yet again, this time sharing with Florida International as both finished 10-2. The Bears finished 20-8 that season, Andrea Congreaves led the NCAA in scoring once again, averaging 31.0 points. She won her second Conference Player of the Year award, and set the stage for her selection to the Kodak All-America team in 1993.

The program split games between Porter Gym on campus and the Macon Coliseum until the late 1990s when some games were shifted to the Macon Centreplex. Beginning with the 2000-01 season, the Bears returned to campus for a majority of their home games but would face Homecoming opponents at the Macon Coliseum or Centreplex.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE

INSIDE:

-THIS IS MERCER -THIS IS MACON -ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT STAFF -ATLANTIC SUN

THIS IS MERCE What distinguishes a good university from a great university extends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus.

The competence and character of an institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured. As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation. Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challenges of reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of prominent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of

ER... the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America. The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Pharmacy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins. Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

CAMPUS LIFE Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the graciousness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do. The University offers a wealth of fascinating experiences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to performing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organizations to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

RESIDENCE LIFE The benefits of campus living are numerous - the development l off life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhancing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the first time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family. All freshman and sophomores (first-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence halls, safety comes first and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identification cards to gain access into their residence hall.

ON... Travis Tritt and many more.

MERCER UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT WILLIAM D. UNDERWOOD

Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and development for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th President in 2006, enrollment has increased by 18 percent to more than 8,200 students. Mercer has launched a second medical school campus (in Savannah), initiated a master’slevel physician assistant program and a doctoral-level program in physical therapy and added Ph.D. programs in Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing. Reflecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer in 2009-10 met the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassification as a research-doctoral university. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approximately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expenditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scientists have for the first time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mercer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance. The University has intensified its longstanding commitment to service-learning and community engagement under President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to support continued revitalization of the College Hill Corridor between campus and downtown Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mission pro-

gram, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an exemplary approach to addressing a specific global challenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Georgia to receive the Carnegie Foundation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.” Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the prestigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation. President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree summa cum laude by the University of Illinois College of Law in 1985, where he graduated as class salutatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following graduation, he clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law firm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William

Strength and Conditioning The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive exercises. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport. Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to assist Mercer’s approximately 226 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through strength training and conditioning.

ATLANTIC SUN CONFERENCE BUILDING Continuing a tradition of academic achievement, a record 60 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status during the 2009-10 academic year. Lipscomb edged out Belmont, the seven-time winner of the All-Academic Trophy, to win its first such trophy with close to 72 percent of its the student-athletes achieving All-Academic status with grade point nt averages of a 3.00, or better. Several Bisons teams received national recognition for their success in the classroom. Both the men’s and women’s track & field teams posted team GPAs among the top five in the nation - the only school in the country to boast that distinction. n. Jacksonville’s women’s track team received their ninth straight USTFCCCA All-Academic honor. Lipscomb’s women’s basketball etball team posted the ninth best GPA in the country and the conference champion volleyball team led five A-Sun schools in receiving ceiving an AVCA Team Academic Award. The Stetson men’s tennis team led the nation with nine student-athletes earning the honor of Scholar Athlete from the Intercollegiate ntercollegiate Tennis Association. A total of five A-Sun schools and 24 student-athletes received recogntion from the ITA. Stetson and Belmontt joined only 16 other Division I schools considered an All-Academic squad in both men’s and women’s tennis. For the first time the NCAA released single-year APR for Division I head coaches in six sports dating back to 2003-04, the beginning of the program. All 11 A-Sun schools produced a coach who had a year of a perfect score of 1000 and the league produced a total of 25 seasons with scores of 1000. Seven of the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball recorded at least one score of 1000 and five teams had a score of 1000 in 2008-09, the most recent year recorded by the NCAA. WINNERS Four A-Sun teams received Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association All-Sports Trophies in recognition of their performances in NCAA postseason play. Lipscomb’s softball team, ETSU’s men’s tennis squad plus UNF’s men’s golf team and women’s tennis carried the conference to the third-highest total by any one conference. Golf continued to boom in the conference as three league members on the women’s side advanced to NCAA play for the first time in conference play. Women’s golf became the first sport in the conference to produce three NCAA participants since baseball in 2003. At the NCAA Regionals, ETSU’s Nina Muehl opened with an 8-under 64, the single lowest round carded in all of Division I golf and became just the second golfer from the A-Sun to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships The Ospreys’ men’s golf team spent the year ranked among the top programs in the country alongside ETSU. Both advanced to NCAA postseason play and the Ospreys made the nationals for the first time as a conference member. Sophomore Sean Dale earned AllAmerica honors and qualified for the US Amateur, as did his teammates Kevin Alywin and Kevin Phelan. Phelan opened his summer by qualifying for the US Open at Pebble Beach. ETSU’s Rhys Enoch tied for the individual title at the NCAA East Regional and his play carried into summer as he made his second Palmer Cup team and advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the British Amateur. Individual performances stood out on the diamond as FGCU’s Chris Sale became a consensus All-America en route to becoming the conference’s fourth first-round pick in the last two years. ETSU’s Paul Hoilman contended for the national triple crown and burst onto the national scene by winning the first-ever home run derby competition - contested at historic Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. Mercer’s Jacob Tanis finished one RBI shy of the national lead in pacing the Bears back to the top of the A-Sun for the first time in more than 25 years. In softball, two hurlers established themselves among the best in the nation. Lipscomb’s Whitney Kiihnl and USC Upstate’s Morgan Childers each topped the 30-win mark - a first for the conference. The two traded the national lead in ERA throughout the season and when the year came to a close, Kiihnl finished with the best mark in the nation with Childers taking a close second. Kiihnl and Childers ranked second and third in the country in fewest hits allowed per seven innings. For the first time in league history, the conference’s last remaining charter member, Mercer, hosted the General Shale Brick Basketball Championships. The hosts advanced to the final of the men’s event setting up a standing-room-only event at the University Center against ETSU. In the end the Buccaneers won back-to-back titles. Jacksonville advanced to the NIT for the straight second year and provided the league’s first win in the event since 1996 when Ben Smith connected on a game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds to stun top-seeded Arizona State.

For more than 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas with a focus on the balance between the two for its studentathletes. The A-Sun boasts a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region, with all committed to the conference goal of Building Winners for Life.

On the women’s side ETSU became the third A-Sun school to win three straight titles, FGCU advanced to the WNIT for a third consecutive year and USC Upstate registered its first 20-win season as a Divisioon I program. FOR LIFE Alums from the Atlantic Sun, both recent and historic continued to excel at the highest levels. Within the span of three days, FGCU produced its first two major league baseball players. Two pitchers of the Eagles’ 2008 A-Sun Championship squad, Casey Coleman and Sale, took their talents to Chicago as Coleman broke in with the Cubs and Sale soared through the White Sox system after spending less than two months in the minors. In late June, former Stetson All-American Chris Johnson returned to the Astros lineup and hit over .380 his first two months as a regular.
