UNA lost to Tampa in the national championship match to finish the season at the 2006 national runner-up. The 2005 season proved to be one of the best ever in the Lions’ storied program. UNA went 36-2, breaking or tying 18 team and individual records at the school, conference and national levels. Along the way, the Lions knocked off five ranked opponents, including top-ranked Truman State 3-1 on Sept. 10.

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.

LIONS VOLLEYBALL HISTORY
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

in GSC history to advance to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in 1998. The Lions claimed their third straight GSC title and first-ever NCAA regional championship. Also Mariela Fasce became the first volleyball player in conference history to be selected firstteam All-American. In 1999, UNA went 35-7, won its fourth straight GSC title and made its fourth straight NCAA appearance, advancing to the Elite Eight for a second time. 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
55
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 11-1 at home last season and has gone 225-42 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 Gulf South Conference Hi st or y of GS C Me mb er sh ip
Academic excellence and a leadership role in NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something special. Entering its 46th year, the GSC is a charter Division II member that prides itself as one of the first conferences to be created and administered by its CEOs. 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 student-athletes graduate at a much higher rate than the general student body. The GSC demonstrated its overall depth in 2014-15 after all of 10 of its official members represented the league in the NCAA post-season. The GSC sponsors 17 sports, including 16 championship events. Official sponsored sports include baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The Conference increased its sponsorship list in 2015-16, classifying women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s track & field as “emerging sports” and putting those programs on a path to future official sponsorship. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to discuss athletics and when the meeting ended, a new league emerged—the MidSouth Conference. Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Jacksonville State, Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin (UTM) and Troy State (TSU) were the charter members, but scheduling problems for the 1970-71 academic year limited the Conference to only football.

The Gulf South Conference and Nicholls State (NSU) joined in 1971 and the league opened an office in Hammond, La., changed its name to the Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College (MC) and Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later, NWLA left for Division I, followed by SELA and NSU in 1979. The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State and West Georgia (1983). In 1991, UTM and TSU went Division I, briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members, but an aggressive expansion resulted in 10 new members: Lincoln Memorial (1992-93); Alabama Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women (MUW, 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. MC 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 in 2009-10. The GSC moved away from divisional play after the 2010-11 season after its six Arkansas members broke away, dropping the membership to eight. The GSC implemented a fouryear expansion plan in 2012 resulting in the addition of Shorter University and Union University (2014-15), Lee University (2015-16) and the expected return of Mississippi College in 2016-17. The also created affiliate memberships to boast its ranks, resulting in sport-specific members, Florida Tech (football), Spring Hill College (men’s and women’s soccer and women’s golf), Montevallo (women’s lacrosse) and Young Harris College (women’s lacrosse). Former Commissioner Jim McCullough moved the GSC office to its current location in Birmingham, Ala. in 1979. Current Commissioner Matt Wilson is in his second year at the helm. He is assisted by Assistant Commissioner for Championships and Communications Michael Anderson, Assistant Commissioner for Compliance and Special Events Andrea Anderson, Director of Engagement Michael Stagno and a newly created Director of Strategic Communications (to be determined). 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).
