Debby Baker
Head Coach • Five Years • Utah State, 1993 Debby Baker has already enjoyed a strong head coach career at Southern Utah University since bringing the program back in 2009. In her brief four years, three years of competition, Baker has led the Thunderbirds to the Summit League tournament and recruited Analaine Pelaez-Mailoto, the 2009 Summit League Freshman of the Year. Southern Utah opened its first volleyball season since the 1988 season in 2009, posting a straight-set victory over Delaware State (25-21, 25-21, 25-20) and also opened its first game in the Centrum Arena with a 3-1 victory over IPFW (25-19, 25-15, 19-25, 25-22). Baker’s charges also opened the 2010 season with a straight-set victory over Murray State (25-22, 25-14, 25-23) en route to a season-best mark of 15-15, including a 12-6 record in conference play. The record qualified the Thunderbirds for the fourth seed in the conference tournament in only the teams’ second year of competition. Baker joined the Thunderbirds after six seasons with New Mexico State University where she served as an assistant coach and the Director of Volleyball Operations. During her time with the Aggies, NMSU compiled a 165-32 (.858) record with 20 all-conference athletes, two conference titles and four NCAA tournament appearances. Baker was a strong recruiter for New Mexico State, signing a top-50 national class in 2003 and the 2005 Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year, Amber Simpson. Baker also did her part for her student-athletes to succeed in the classroom with two athletes (Jackie Chio and Jordan Bostic) earning CoSIDA Academic All-American plaudits. Prior to her stop in Las Cruces, N.M., Baker served as an assistant coach with the University of New Mexico dur-
ing the 2001 season. She also served as a volunteer assistant coach at Utah State University during the 2000 season and at the College of Southern Idaho during the 1994 and 1995 seasons. During her time at CSI, Baker helped coach the Eagles to an NJCAA National Championship with a 62-3 record in 1994 and an undefeated season in 1995 with a 65-0 mark. Baker played collegiately for the Aggies of Utah State (1992-1993) following an all-region career at the College of Southern Idaho (1990-1991). While in Logan, Baker earned Big West academic honors, graduating Cum Laude with a Marketing degree in 1994. Baker is originally from Star Valley, Wyo. and is married to Jon Baker. The couple have one son together, Logan, and reside in Cedar City. Women’s volleyball will be making a comeback after the program was dropped by the university following the 1988-1989 season despite a rich history while competing in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. During their years in the NAIA, the Thunderbirds accumulated seven consecutive conference titles from 1976-1983, losing only three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference games in the process. The run also included several postseason appearances, culminating with a fourth-place national finish in 1981.

Southern Utah University Volleyball 2012 Media Guide A new era in the Big Sky Conference begins in 2012-13 as the league enters its 50th year of athletic competition, and its 25th sponsoring women’s collegiate athletics. The Division I Big Sky Conference welcomes the University of North Dakota and Southern Utah University into the fold as full members. Cal Poly and UC Davis join the league as affiliate members in football, where the league competes at the Championship Subdivision level (formerly I-AA). The additions of North Dakota and Southern Utah give the stable Big Sky 11 full institutions and 13 football members. The current lineup includes four of the six charter members: Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State University and Weber State. Northern Arizona enters its 43rd season in the Big Sky, giving the conference five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership. Eastern Washington University joined the Big Sky Conference in 1987, followed by Portland State University and Sacramento State in 1996. The Big Sky became a nine-team league in 2006 with the addition of the University of Northern Colorado. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of the past four seasons.
Big Sky Conference - 22
The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001. The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado.
On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. The Big Sky sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. This upcoming spring, the Big Sky will sponsor a softball championship for the first time. In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women. Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in his 18th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who passed away in 2011. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

State University, where he has served as director of athletic development for the past fourplus years. While at USU, Beazer developed and initiated the largest capital campaign in the history of the school’s athletic department, including fund-raising for a planned $25 million renovation of Romney Stadium. Prior to his time at Utah State, Beazer spent nine years at Snow College, the first three as defensive coordinator on the football coaching staff and the final six – from 1995 to 2001 – as the school’s director of athletics. As a coach his teams ranked among the NJCAA’s top five defenses two of his three seasons, while as AD at Snow he implemented the college’s first Athletic Foundation Board as well as an annual giving program. He also spent two seasons as a graduate assistant football coach at Washington State University. Beazer is a 1989 graduate of Weber State University with a degree in broadcast communication. He also holds a master of arts degree in communication from Washington State, as well as an associate of arts in the same field from Snow College. Beazer and his wife, Cidnee, are the parents of four children: Rhett, Adrienne, Jadon and Harrison. Ken Beazer on SUU Athletics: Southern Utah University is truly a place where academics come first. The strong academic commitment of the staff and coaches is manifest in the overall academic accomplishments our teams achieve on an annual basis. The University’s strong academic emphasis, coupled with the dedicated efforts of the student athletes, allows the Athletics Department to continually post high marks in the classroom. The academic climate offered at SUU enables the institution to attract and retain high quality student athletes with sound character and a clear understanding of personal responsibility. Thunderbird Athletics was recently rewarded by its fellow institutions with an unprecedented, fourth consecutive Mid-Continent Conference Sportsmanship Award, setting a new standard by which all institutions are now measured. Southern Utah is fortunate to have a great relationship with the community, bringing new meaning to the term, “campus community.” Cedar City residents are hospitable, friendly and eager to serve, creating an ideal setting for personal growth. Thunderbird student athletes readily accept their responsibility of role models and spent countless hours in the local schools mentoring children. Southern Utah University’s commitment to athletics is manifest in its first class athletic facilities, providing the necessary amenities for a student athlete to achieve his/her athletic goals and compete at higher levels. Southern Utah University is an ideal place to achieve academic and athletic excellence and reach the high expectations we all have. Southern Utah University is one of the best locations to experience a true college atmosphere.
Dr. Michael T. Benson Southern Utah University President
Michael T. Benson was appointed the 15th president of Southern Utah University on November 10, 2006, by the Utah State Board of Regents. Dr. Benson came to SUU from Snow College where he served as president for five years. Prior to his tenure in Ephraim, Dr. Benson was special assistant to the president and secretary to the University of Utah, a cabinet-level position on that campus. During his presidency at Snow, athletic teams excelled, winning several conference championships and finishing near the top of national rankings. He was instrumental in establishing America’s premier junior college football bowl game, the Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl, played each December in Salt Lake City. Dr. Benson currently serves as Chair of the Presidents’ Council for the Summit League. President Benson is the father of four children, Emma, Samuel, Truman Taft, and Tatum Anne. He and his wife Debi, along with the kids, are regularly seen around campus and at all types of sporting events. An accomplished athlete, Dr. Benson was captain of the East High School basketball team and one of four sophomores on the team that won the 1981 Utah State championship. He turned down track scholarships as a senior at East to enroll at Brigham Young University on a leadership scholarship, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree in political science, English, and history while playing on the junior varsity basketball team. He has also competed in the worlds oldest rivalry, serving as a player/coach in leading Oxford University over Cambridge in the 1994 Varsity Basketball Match. President Benson has completed several marathons with his best time (2:41) winning his age division at the St. George Marathon. In 1984, Michael was one of only 19 teenagers to compete in the Boston Marathon, with his finishing time of 2:52 placing him in the top 15% of all registered runners. While President of Snow College, he ran the St. George Marathon again, this time raising over $50,000 for the athletic department. He currently maintains a seven handicap in his favorite sport, golf. Dr. Benson holds a doctorate in modern Middle Eastern History from Oxford University. His criticallyacclaimed book, Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel has led to many lecturing and consulting opportunities. Michael regularly leads tour groups to the Middle East where he is eager to share his love for and knowledge of the region. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in non-profit administration at the Mendoza School of Business at the University of Notre Dame. The Bensons are delighted to be at Southern Utah University and look forward to supporting Thunderbird student-athletes for many years to come.
Dear Thunderbird Fans and Supporters: One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of us at Southern Utah University are committed to helping our student-athletes as they prepare to win on their respective fields and courts of competition. But more importantly, we are committed to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skills that will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thank you for your continued commitment to SUU and its many outstanding athletic programs which now number 17 – the second highest number of Division I sports programs offered in the entire State of Utah. For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautiful fall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefits of Division I athletics in our community are innumerable. From the dollars spent by visiting teams and fans in our local places of business to the positive media coverage generated by our studentathletes, the University is the beneficiary of these and other positive by-products of the substantial investment in our athletic program. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their association with the University when they see a return on their donated dollars in the form of success on the field and in the classroom. Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment we are willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition to those student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the “thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excellent participation opportunities for students in bands, cheer squads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and many more. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage of the geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity on campus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academic and social experience of ALL our students. I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, and his able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of the funds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the academic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress of our student-athletes to ensure their commitment to “prepare to win” while at SUU and well beyond. Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University and the proud Thunderbird tradition. Yours sincerely, President Michael Benson

Southern Utah’s training facilities include an expanded training room in Eccles Coliseum as well as three fully-equipped medical and training facilities located elsewhere on campus. SUU’s training facilities also include an olympic-sized pool. With a fully-certified staff as well as a student training program SUU is prepared to handle all the training needs of its 17 sports’ student athletes. Six doctors serve SUU student-athletes’ needs, including orthopedic specialist Dr. Robert Nakken, podiatrist Dr. Russ Olsen, pain specialist Dr. Dale Stott, general practitioner Dr. C. J. Thinnes and dentists Dr. James Sorenson and Dr. Brian Tavoian.
The Student-Athlete Academic Center was recently renovated in 2010 with a brand new lounge area, providing student-athletes a place to relax and a comfortable area to study. The Center features both individual and group work spaces and is centrally located on campus in the multi-purpose building. Marlene Barth, the Athletic Academic Coordinator, is also located in the center and is available to answer questions and help student-athletes achieve their academic goals.
When Southern Utah University’s 5,300-seat Centrum was completed in 1985, it was hoped the state-of-the-art sports facility would push the Thunderbirds to the highest level of collegiate sports. The facility hosts the women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and women’s gymnastics programs. The Centrum was a key factor in SUU’s jump to the NCAA Division I ranks and played a large role in Southern Utah’s bid to join the Mid-Continent Conference (now Summit League). Since opening in November of 1985, the Centrum has attracted thousands of people to Cedar City for Thunderbird sports, concerts and numerous other athletic and performing arts events. The facility - which covers six acres and cost just over $8 million to build - is part of the Sharwan Smith Center, which houses the SUU Bookstore, Grand Ballroom, food services and all of the student services offices. The concourse of the Centrum houses SUTV studios, the basketball offices, academic offices and numerous art studios. In 2007, the playing surface has been repainted as Southern Utah made its transition into the Summit League. The new floor will include a larger SUU Thunderbird logo at mid-court and the Summit League logos in school colors in each key. Top-of-the-line scoreboards, including message walls and a video display capable of providing instant replays were installed in 1997.
The SUU women’s volleyball locker room was built prior to the 2009 season, making it the newest team locker room on campus. The facility is located in the Centrum arena and is used for team meetings and film sessions in addition to game days.
Southern Utah University is a comprehensive institution offering programs for students with many interests and goals. The University provides undergraduate liberal education in the arts, humanities and sciences; authorized professional work in teacher education, business and technology; and specialized training in vocational teacher education. SUU has been accorded a host of outstanding academic honors in recent years. Consumer Reports named the University among its Top Ten in its list of quality and value in colleges and universities in America for the second time in three years this past summer. The Princeton Review tabbed SUU as a Best Value Institution last spring, while U.S. News and World Report listed the University as one of America’s Best Colleges in 2007. The Princeton Review has also named SUU as one of its “Best In The West,” and Southern Utah’s website was named a top-10 site by the National Research Center for College and University Admissions. SUU students select their courses from departments and programs in the School of Business; College of Computing, Integrated Engineering and Technology; School of Continuing and Professional Studies; Beverley Taylor Sorenson College of Education and Human Development; College of Humanities and Social Sciences; Library; College of Performing and Visual Arts; College of Science; and College of Graduate Studies. More than 600 faculty and staff members serve SUU’s 7,516 undergraduate and graduate students. Academic programs in business, teacher education, industrial education and theatre arts have received wide acclaim for their excellence. Affiliated with the university are a number of cultural arts and performing groups which support the mission of SUU. SUU is also home to the Utah Shakespearean Festival with its Adams Memorial Theatre, based upon the original Globe Theatre; and the Randall Jones Theatre, one of the finest indoor theatres in the West. Southern Utah facilities are also used extensively during the month in June as home for the Utah Summer Games. Campus facilities range from the ivy-covered Old Main and Braithwaite Liberal Arts Center, built in 1898 and 1899; to the Dixie Leavitt Business Building; to the Sharwan Smith Center, a multi-purpose facility which houses the Centrum Arena – SUU’s basketball and gymnastics venue – as well as classrooms, the university’s student union, bookstore and various offices. The university opened a state-of-the-art library in 1996, while the Eccles Coliseum, the University’s football and track stadium, has undergone a complete renovation in the recent past, including new grandstands, office areas, a new press box and a new track. Another exciting development was the physical education complex, which serves the entire studentbody with state-of-the art athletic and recreational facilities. The newest additions on campus include the Emma Eccles Jones Teacher Education Building and the Carter Carillon Tower. The university also owns and operates a 1,000-acre farm in western Cedar Valley and a 3,700-acre ranch in Cedar Canyon.
Because of their proximity and grandeur and formal educational alliance with Southern Utah University, Zion National Park and Cedar Breaks National Monument are claimed by SUU students as part of their campus. Geology, life science and a variety of academic fields plan trips to take advantage of these national treasures in addition to Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Capitol Reef and Great Basin National Parks, which are also close by. The University’s skiing classroom is at 11,300-foot Brian Head Ski Resort, less than an hour away, while the recreational opportunities offered by Lake Powell are less than two hours away. SUU has a history unique in the annals of American higher education. In 1897, the entire population of Cedar City, then a small pioneer town, engaged in the building of Old Main, the first building of the University. Beginning the project in mid-winter because of a harsh deadline imposed the the legislature, the men and women of the community donated materials, money and labor to complete the building on time. Today the university campus has grown to comprise 133 acres, landscaped with fountains, tall spruce and pine trees, plazas, statuary, latticed walkways and expansive lawns.
