LiONS CLAim 2003 NCAA VOLLEYBALL titLE
The University of North Alabama volleyball team's 2003 NCAA Division II National Championship was an unlikely end to a season that began with great promise but appeared to be headed for an unexpectedly quick end. UNA had boasted one of the most powerful collegiate volleyball programs in the nation over the last eight years, making eight straight NCAA Tournament appearances and going to three Elite Eights. But entering the 2003 NCAA Tournament, the Lions had lost seven matches. That was a loss total the Lions had only seen once since 1995. UNA had also failed to win the Gulf South Conference championship for the first time in eight years, losing in the championship match to Harding. UNA had also fallen out of the Division II poll during the 2003 season, ending a streak of being ranked in 83 consecutive polls. The Lions entered the 2003 post-season ranked No. 23 in the nation. Despite the odds, UNA rolled through six NCAA Tournament matches undefeated and claimed not only the first volleyball national championship in school history but also the first national title ever won by a UNA women's athletic team. It was also the first NCAA volleyball title for a school from the state of Alabama or the Gulf South

Conference. First UNA avenged its GSC Tournament loss to Harding, routing the Lady Bisons 3-0. The Lions then destroyed host Truman State 3-0 before claiming the South Central Region title with a 3-2 win over Central Missouri State. At the Elite Eight in San Bernardino, Calif., UNA beat Lock Haven 3-2 in the quarterfinal, then beat Grand Valley State 3-1 to advance to the championship match. In the finals it was all UNA as the Lions defeated
Concordia-St. Paul 3-0 (30-24, 30-28, 30-22) for the national title. UNA closed the season at 33-7. In addition to head coach Matt Peck being named Division II Coach of the Year, seniors Yana Ninova and Ashley Moffitt were named to AllAmerica teams. It was the third time in four years for Moffitt to earn All-America honors, while Ninova made All-American for the second time. The duo both earned All-GSC and All-South Central Region honors for the fourth consecutive year and played on Lion teams that posted a combined 135-19 record.

Senior Te'Jaye Redd was named honorable mention All-American and was also an All-GSC and All-South Central Region pick. Coach Matt Peck departed following the conclusion of the season but his legacy at UNA includes a 312-61 record over nine seasons, seven Gulf South Conference championships, eight NCAA Tournament appearances, four regional titles and one Division II National Championship.

Twin sister Rachel Price achieved All-American status in 1998 and 1999 and was an Academic All-America pick both seasons as well. Most recently, UNA standout Vanessa Ferretti received both All-America and Academic All-America honors as a senior in the 2005 season.

The volleyball program at the University of North Alabama began in 1969 as a part of the Physical Education Department and was known as extramurals. In those early years the Lady Lion teams competed against all of the state schools as a member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. UNA competed in the Northern District with Jacksonville State, Alabama A&M, Montevallo, Southern Benedictine and Stillman. In 1975, in the seventh year of volleyball competition at the school, UNA claimed the Alabama State Championship. downing the University of Alabama 1-15, 15-12, 15-6 in the championship match for the title. The Lady Lions downed Troy State, Auburn and Montevallo in the preliminary matches before dumping Alabama. Don McBrayer, a physical education instructor with the university then and now, served as the head coach for that first championship squad. Lillian Goodlow, a standout in basketball and volleyball at Bradshaw High School in Florence, became the first female athlete to be awarded an athletic scholarship to UNA in the summer of 1976. Another major step came in 1982, when the Gulf South Conference began awarding championships in women’s sports. The UNA volleyball team claimed the first official league title for women with a 3-0 sweep of Jacksonville State in the championship match. The Lady Lions hosted the tournament and won all six of their matches en route to the championship. UNA added to that GSC tradition by winning six of the first seven GSC volleyball championships, claiming the crown in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 as well. Three Lady Lion volleyball players, Julie Jones, Shea Lindley and Pasola Swoope, were members of four consecutive GSC championship teams each during their playing days at UNA. Also on the list of key builders of the UNA volleyball tradition is Ande Jones, who was a four-year letterman in the 1970’s, was an All-State member of the 1975 state championship team, then returned as a graduate coach in 1976 and as a full-time coach from 1979-94. In 1995, Matt Peck was hired as the Lions head volleyball coach, and in nine years he took

the UNA program to the highest national level, with eight NCAA appearances, four trips to the Elite Eight, two Final Fours and the 2003 NCAA Division II National Championship. In 1996 Peck led the Lions to a 44-4 record that included the school's seventh GSC championship and the first ever NCAA Tournament appearance by a school from the state of Alabama. In 1997 Ronda Price and Mariela Fasce were named second-team AVCA AllAmericans to become the school's first volleyball All-Americans. In addition, Price was a secondteam CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-America selection, making her the first athlete in school history to earn both All-America and Academic All-America honors. As a team, UNA claimed its second consecutive GSC Tournament title and earned its second NCAA Regional bid as well. North Alabama became the first school

Lana Fishback, Deja Trojan, Rachel Price and Ronda Price were members of four consecutive GSC championships, four straight NCAA Tournament berths and earned two straight trips to the NCAA Elite Eight by winning two NCAA South Central Regional championships. From 1996-1999 the "Fab Four" compiled a record of 156-22 and 47-1 in the GSC.

fLoWers HALL
Flowers Hall has served as the home of the University of North Alabama volleyball team since it opened its doors in 1972, and has been an important part of the Lions success story. The 3,800 seat facility has hosted numerous state and Gulf South Conference tournaments over the years , and was the scene for the first-ever GSC volleyball tournament in 1982, where UNA captured the league's first women's sports championship. In 1996, Flowers Hall was the site of the first-ever NCAA women's volleyball tournament played in the state of Alabama as UNA hosted the NCAA Division II South
54
Home of the Lions
Central Regional. UNA has hosted the event a total of four times, winning it at home in 1998 and 2000 before coming up short in 2005. Flowers Hall has also hosted three NBA basketball games in the 1970s and has hosted numerous NCAA tournament events in both men's and women's basketball. In 1985 the original synthetic floor was relaced with a new synthetic floor. Also, in that same year a new four-sided scoreboard was added to enhance the Lion’s home court. In 1989 new theater seating was
installed on the home side for seasonticket holders. In 2004 the maple wood floor was replaced, as were the scoreboards and scorers tables that had been used over the previous 10 years. In 2009, new additions to the scoreboards allowed fans to keep track of digs, kills and assists during volleyball play. The flooring was sanded and repainted in 2013, adding the new UNA athletic logo at center court. UNA went 5-9 at home last season and has gone 214-41 at home since 1995.

Leo iii AnD UnA UNA once again boasts the only live Lion mascots in the country living on campus. On July 22, 1974, former UNA president Dr. Robert M. Guillot brought a 35-pound lion cub to the campus and Leo spent the next 14 years “roaring” the school to victory. The original Leo died on Jan. 20, 1988, and a great outpouring of support from the Shoals community resulted in Leo II being brought to UNA in July of 1988. Leo II lived in the compound that once housed the original Leo and grew to a weight of more than 600 pounds at eleven years of age. In 1997, Leo II was selected as the nation's "Second Best Mascot" by Sports Illustrated. He died in February of 2000. Leo III and Una, born on November 18, 2002, now reside on the campus in the 12,764 square-foot George H. Carroll Lion Habitat. Approaching their eighth birthdays, Leo III and Una are exhibited seven days a week from approximately 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. (weather conditions permitting), unless they are appearing in local venues. All funds associated with the care and feeding of Leo III and UNA, the operation of their habitat, and the conduct of a related educational program are funded exclusively by charitable contributions.

The University of North Alabama, established in 1830 as LaGrange College, became, in 1872, the first state-supported teachers college south of the Ohio Riverand one of the first co-ed colleges in the nation. UNA has developed into a regional university providing quality educational opportunities for students from the three-state region of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. North Alabama’s academic role has expanded through the years. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in majors in the colleges of arts and sciences, business, education and nursing and allied health. Pre-Professional preparation for medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, pharmacy, law, agriculture and forestry, engineering, veterinary medicine, medical technology and other allied health professions is offered. Various master’s degrees are offered in the arts and sciences, edication and business fields. North Alabama was the first major university to offer a four-year degree program in commercial music. Majors have interned in record industry offices in Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, London, Stockholm, and nearby Muscle Shoals. That program has since been expanded with the development of the UNA Entertainment Industry Center and the addition of an entertainment industry management major. UNA is one of 11 schools nationwide offering an undergraduate degree in industrial hygiene. Foreign language, nursing, business, and science students also have opportunities to study abroad. Numerous faculty and staff members hold positions of distinction in various national, regional and state professional organizations. Many have written books and/or published articles in newspaper, magazines and professional journals. The Journal of Legal Economics is published at UNA. Various centers have been established at North Alabama to serve its constituency. Operated by faculty and staff, they give undergraduate and graduate students opportunities for research and public services. These centers include the Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory. Its scientific research has attracted national and international attention in the health field. The Geographic Research Center, in cooperation with the National Geographic Society, has increased the profile of geography in the state and has opened doors for students to have hands-on participation
in maping and demographics research for various governmental agencies. Science faculty and students teach and study marine biology-related courses at Dauphin Island Sealab near Mobile, Alabama. North Alabama also houses the Northwest Alabama Education Research and Inservice Center, which provides inservice training for elementary and secondary educators in a six-county region. UNA has the only state university-operated kindergarten and grammar school, which affords education students a professional development laboratory experience in teaching. Serving a nine-County region, the Small Business Development Center provides information, counseling and assistance to small businesses or to people planning to start small businesses. The Rare and Endangered Species Research Center personnel are conducting research on several endangered species in the region. The Wellness Research and Service Center studies and develops wellness, exercise, nutrition, stress management, health education counseling and environmental support programs. The University of North Alabama works closely with various southern universities and many local, state and federal agencies on a myriad of projects and activities. Supporting the faculty are the extensive resources of the Collier Library system, which is also a federal records depository.
It is computerized and linked into various library loan research networks. Collier Library also houses several collections, including the television and film scripts and other works of actors Dr. George Lindsey and Dr. Ernest Borgnine. UNA has developed a national following in recent years with the development of the George Lindsey/UNA Television and Film Festival, which attracts several industry luminaries to camous. UNA students excel in academics, student activities and athletics. Often they are recognized nationally for their achievements in specific areas. In recent years , football and basketball teams have won national championships. UNA is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The colleges of business, education and nursing are nationally accredited, while several departments in the College of Arts and Sciences are nationally accredited.

the Gulf south Conference
Academic excellence and a leadership role in the NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference something special. The GSC is a charter member of Division II and enters its 45th year as one of the premier conferences at any NCAA level. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to discuss athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league emerged—the Mid-South Conference— started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross country, men’s & women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s tennis, men’s & women’s golf, softball and baseball) so intensely contested. From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Beginning in 1997, the league found neutral sites paying sizeable guarantees for most of its team championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or -inspired legislation. No one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased its own built-toits-specification office space. But the crowning moment came in 2005-06, when the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package which included nine football games (now 11) and its men’s & women’s basketball tournament finals. Add to that the branded “GSC DigiNet” video platform and the livestreaming of most of its championships, and you can see why the GSC is a Conference always taking advantage of new innovations. We take pride in our 49 National Team Championships in 13 sports and more than 100 regional titles, especially because there is no sacrifice on the academic side, where GSC studentathletes graduate a much higher rate than the general student body. Three GSC teams advance to NCAA Title contests in 2013-14 headlined by West Florida

the Gulf south Conference opened an office in Hammond, LA, changed its name to the Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College and Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later, NELA left for Division I, followed by SELA and Nicholls State in 1979. The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State and West Georgia (1983). In 1991, TennesseeMartin and Troy State went Division I, briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members. An aggressive expansion under the guidance of new Commissioner Nate Salant resulted in 10 new members: Lincoln Memorial (199293); Alabama Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women (1993-94); West Florida (1994-95); and ArkansasMonticello, Arkansas Tech, Montevallo and Southern Arkansas (1995-96). Jacksonville State moved to Division I at the end of 1992-93. Mississippi College dropped to Division III at the end of 1995-96, and was replaced by Christian Brothers to keep the Conference at 16 schools. In July 2000, the GSC welcomed Harding University and Ouachita Baptist University, making it the largest NCAA-playing conference at any level with 18 schools. MUW dropped its athletics program at the end of the 2002-03 season, decreasing the membership to 17. Central Arkansas reclassified to Division I and Lincoln
Memorial moved to the South Atlantic Conference following the 2006-07 year. Montevallo’s departure for the Peach Belt Conference dropped the number to 14. The GSC moved away from divisional play after the 2010-11 season after its six Arkansas members broke away, dropping the membership to eight. Thanks to an aggressive expansion plan, the GSC sponsored the Division II applications of Union University (TN) and Shorter University (GA), which became official members in 2014-15. The next step in bolstering its membership came in 2012, backing the Division II application of Lee University (TN) which is on track to join the league officially in 2015-16. The league added its first-ever associate member, Florida Tech, in football only in 2013. The Conference hopes to officially add an old friend back into the fold when Mississippi College submitted its application to rejoin Division II and is on track for 2016-17 membership. Former Commissioner Jim McCullough brought the GSC office to Birmingham when he was hired in 1979. The Conference welcomed its seventh Commissioner in May, 2014 when Matt Wilson was selected to follow Nate Salant who retired after a 22-year stint. Wilson is assisted by Assistant Commissioner for Championships and Media Michael Anderson, Assistant Commissioner for Compliance Andrea Anderson, Media Relations Director Michael Stagno and Director of Community Engagement Albert “A.A.” Moore. The Chair of the GSC Board of Directors is Dr. John Smarrelli (Christian Brothers). Joining him on the Executive Committee are Vice-Chair Dr. William LaForge (Delta State) and Past-Chair Dr. Judith Bense (West Florida). The Supervisors of Officials are Jeff Roberson (Football), John Caldwell (Basketball), Mike McCray (Baseball) and Eric Ackerman (Soccer).
