SECONDARY ATHLETICS LOGOS PRIMARY ATHLETICS LOGO

2011 ASHEVILLE MEN’S SOCCER: With a solid senior class coming back and a talented group of newcomers coming in, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs are looking for a muchimproved 2011 season. A year ago, Asheville competed hard and battled in every match but just couldn’t get over the hump in a lot of matches as the Bulldogs finished with a 4-13-1 overall record. Second-year coach Matt Kern believes Asheville can be better in 2011. “We have a veteran team coming back plus some new guys who we think can help us right away,” commented Kern. “We’re a little more athletic in the midfield than we were last season and I think everyone is ready to take the next step with our program. “A key for us is improving our collective defending,” added Kern. “We would like to decrease the number of shots on goal our opponents average per match. “I believe we have a chance to be quite good on the counter attack,” Kern also said. “If we can score between 25-to-30 goals on the season and have our goals against average less than 1 per match, we have a chance to have a pretty good season.” GOALKEEPER The Bulldogs will be led in goal this year by one of the best in the region, senior Lassi Hurskainen. Asheville had a tough season in 2010 but Hurskainen still earned second team All-Conference honors for his play. “We would love to see Lassi earn All-Region and All-American honors this year because he’s that good of a goalkeeper, but we’re going to have to help him,” declared Kern. “We can’t ask him to make 10 saves every match and expect to win. Lassi really improved as a communicator last spring, and our defensive cohesion was better. “Lassi is a tremendous shot stopper,” added Kern. “He’s very quick and an outstanding distributor of the ball. Having Lassi on the field is like having an 11th field player.” Backing up Hurskainen is talented freshman Dan Jackson. The Chapel Hill native played at a high level in both high school and club. “Dan is an able back-up to Lassi,” admitted Kern. “We’re going to try to get him some experience in the pre-season in case we need him if Lassi gets hurt. He’s very quick with his feet and is a good athlete.” DEFENSE The Bulldogs bring back a nice blend of experience and depth in the back. Heading up the returnees is senior tri-captain J.J. Morrow. The talented Morrow has been a leader and a starter for Asheville since his freshman year. He enjoyed an excellent spring and during the summer he played on an Under-23 team that won the national championship. He did suffer an injury that may sideline him early in the season. “J.J. is a great ball-winning central defender who just knows how to play the game,” stated Kern. “He’s a terrific leader and will be one of our top players in 2011.” Also returning in the back is J.J.’s brother, Eli Morrow. The senior will provide depth in the back. “Eli won our Bulldog Award last spring for his play,” commented Kern. “He’s a versatile player who can play both in the midfield and in the back. Eli does everything we ask him to do, and I know he’ll be ready to play in 2011.” Junior David Parra went through a transition year in 2010 but moved to the back late in the season and then enjoyed a great spring season.

Lassi Hurskainen “We moved David from a central midfielder spot to the back and he really blossomed,” said Kern. “He will be a key player for us in the back this season. David is a tremendous athlete, and we’re looking forward to seeing him back there this year.” Sophomores Bobby Castro and Hans Lohmeyer earned valuable experience in 2010. That experience should pay off for the Bulldogs in 2011. “Bobby was moved to the back at the end of last season and he did a great job,” explained Kern. “He’s turning into a fine player for us plus emerging as a leader in the back. “Hans got better with each week as a freshman,” added Kern. “He does things simply and gets the job done. The more you watch him play the more you like him.” Kern and the Bulldogs will have four freshmen vying for playing time on defense this season. All four have enjoyed standout prep and club careers and could earn playing time. Alex Chu joins the Asheville program from Charlotte. “Alex is a smart, tactical player,” admitted Kern. “He’s a hard worker who has played at a high level during his career.” A.J. Iiames comes to the Bulldog program from Raleigh. “A.J. is tall at 6-1 and is a real presence when he’s on the field,” stated Kern. “He’s very good in the air and we expect him to contribute right away.” Freshman Quentin Reynolds is also from the Raleigh area (Apex) and comes highly regarded. “Quentin is very athletic and is an excellent one-on-one defender,” declared Kern. “He can play anywhere in the back. Quentin just needs to make the transition to college soccer.” Inaki Uriz is from Durham and played at Jordan HS plus the Triangle Futbol Club. “Inaki reads the game quite well and is a hard worker,” stated Kern. “He’s also quick and knows how to battle.”

YEAR TWO OF THE KERN ERA

Jake Hagedorn MIDFIELD Heading up the returnees in midfield is senior tri-captain Jake Hagedorn. He scored three goals for the Bulldogs last season and has six in his career. “Jake is a true two-way midfielder,” said Kern. “He likes to get forward but is willing to get back and track on defense. Jake is a wonderful leader and I look for a big year from him in 2011.” Senior Kye Grooms has gotten better with each season and is expected to contribute this year. “Kye has developed into one of our best passers,” commented Kern. “He had an excellent spring.We look for him to be heavily involved with our set pieces and would not be surprised if he ended the season as our assist leader.” Sophomore Kenneth Lingerfelt is moving to midfield after playing up front as a freshman. He played well as a striker and earned Big South All-Freshman honors for his play. “Kenneth has a goal-scoring mentality,” stated Kern.“He’s not afraid to shoot and can take a defender on one-on-one. We believe he’ll be a real help to us in midfield.” Junior David Wood moves to the midfield in 2011. “David is a terrific server and gets the ball where it needs to be,” Kern pointed out. “He had a solid spring, and I believe he’ll be effective for us in the midfield.” Senior Nick Stemkowski is a player who has steadily earned more and more playing time as his career has progressed. “Nick is an exciting player who we look to give us some important minutes throughout the season,” said Kern. “He will give us some experienced depth at midfield.” Sophomore Sam Rossabi worked hard as a freshman and should be rewarded with some more playing time in 2011.

“We moved Sam to an outside midfielder, and he gives us some real energy there,” stated Kern. “He’s a player who should benefit from some experience learned last year.” Sophomore transfer Rob May should give the Bulldogs some real experience in midfield. May is an Asheville native who prepped at Roberson HS and enjoyed a sensational career. May began his collegiate career at Charlotte but only played in three matches in two years. “Rob can play a variety of positions and has an unbelievable firsttouch,” said Kern. “We’re happy to have him here at UNC Asheville. He was a member of a very good Charlotte program and even though he didn’t play much he got some great experience.” Three freshmen are going to compete for playing time here in 2011. They include Asheville native Paul Egle, Joey Cutting and Patrick Phillip. Egle played locally at Roberson HS and scored a lot of goals for the Rams program. “Paul enjoyed a great career at Roberson and on the club level. He has played at an extremely high level and had success against that kind of competition,” commented Kern. “Paul can play anywhere on the field and knows how to find the ball.We’re looking quite forward to watching him play for the Bulldogs.” Cutting is another local product as he played at nearby Tuscola HS in Haywood County. “Joey just needs experience with the college game,” stated Kern. “He is a good technical player who moves well with the ball.” Phillip is a product of Dripping Springs HS in Houston. “Patrick gets up-and-down the flank quite well,” commented Kern. “He has good service and is another freshman who just needs experience.” Freshman Stabler Cochrane will probably red-shirt this season as he has some injuries coming into the year. “We’re probably going to rest Stabler this year and make sure he’s 100 percent,” admitted Kern. “He’s a two-way central midfielder who will get his minutes once he adjusts to the college game.” FORWARD The Bulldogs bring back nothing but experience up front in 2011 as three seniors and a sophomore return. Senior Bryan Bartels scored two goals and had five points in 2010. He is a talented striker who should be ready to have a big senior campaign. “We’re looking for Bryan Bartels to have a breakthrough season in 2011,” declared Kern. “He is capable of scoring a lot of goals. We need to do our part by giving him high-quality service into the box and let him score. Bryan’s a hard-worker and is ready to have a big year.” Senior Branden Lassen has been a consistent player for the Bulldogs up front during his career. “Branden is the most technically gifted player we have on our team,” explained Kern. “He is a fun player to watch when he has the ball. We hope to get him the ball a lot this season.” Senior Bryan George has seven career goals and has been a threat up front for Asheville since his freshman season. “Bryan is a natural goal-scorer who can score in a lot of different ways,” said Kern. “He’s an electrifying player who can score with his head or his feet.” Sophomore Tim Kynast came on strong for Asheville down the stretch. “At 6-4, Tim’s height makes him terrific in the air,” stated Kern. “He has a year under his belt which will make him a better player.”

THE BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F.“Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid -- receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 15 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997. The Conference’s 19th championship sport -- women’s lacrosse, will begin play in 2012-13 with seven members. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Conference membership, as an all-time high 11 member institutions comprise the 28-year League in 2011-12. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian College, plus the return of charter member Campbell University this year. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 700 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had an individual National Champion six times, more than 240 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship six times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, has had four NFL Draft picks, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships - the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four out of the last seven years - including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run), Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. Last season, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team - one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won four PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007 and tied for runner-up at the 2011 Open Championship. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 19962007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its 27 years of existence. Furthermore, the Big South has a record number of NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last two years.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Fiske Guide Gives High Marks to UNC Asheville and its Environmental Studies Program UNC Asheville is once again ranked among the nation’s top colleges in the 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” published in July. The Fiske Guide calls UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” “This public liberal arts university offers all the perks that are generally associated with pricier private institutions: rigorous academics, small classes, and a beautiful setting,” says the Fiske Guide, noting that UNC Asheville provides all this for a fraction of the cost of a private college. In addition, for the seventh consecutive year, UNC Asheville’s Environmental Studies Program was named to the Fiske Guide’s list of pre-professional programs with unusual strength in preparing students for careers. Students in UNC Asheville’s program learn to address environmental issues through a multidisciplinary approach that includes biology, ecology, geology, chemistry, physics, economics, public policy, and other natural and social sciences. Undergraduate research is an important feature of the curriculum, and the Environmental Studies Department stresses on-the-job internships in organizations involved with environmental issues. The Fiske Guide also finds plenty to appreciate in UNC Asheville’s “picturesque mountain location in one of the most liveable small cities anywhere.” According to the Fiske Guide, “whether it’s the lush environment or the money you’re saving, the University of North Carolina at Asheville will have you seeing green.”

UNC Asheville Ranked Among Nation’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report UNC UNC Asheville received high marks in the 2011 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” rankings released on August 17. UNC Asheville ranked fifth among National Liberal Arts Colleges in “The 2011 Upand-Comers” list, which highlights schools with “the most promising and innovative changes.” This select list leads the overall rankings in the 2011 edition of the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” guidebook, which will be available on-line August 17 and on newsstands August 24. UNC Asheville was also one of only 25 universities in the nation to make the U.S. News & World Report list of “stellar” schools for undergraduate research/creative projects. UNC Asheville, Duke, and UNC-Chapel Hill are the lone North Carolina representatives on this list. UNC Asheville, which founded the National Council for Undergraduate Research more than 20 years ago, has made this roster annually since it began nine years ago. In addition, UNC Asheville was included on the list of 39 National Liberal Arts Colleges with the strongest commitment to undergraduate teaching. U.S. News & World Report’s overall rankings include a number of factors, including financial support from alumni, grades and test scores of incoming freshmen and admissions selectivity along with the quality of instruction and curriculum. UNC Asheville was ranked sixth among public institutions in the National Liberal Arts Colleges category and number 158 in the category overall. Again this year, UNC Asheville was recognized by U.S. News & World Report for affordability as measured by student debt. The university ranked 14th among National Liberal Arts Colleges for least debt among graduating students. This is consistent with findings from other leading college rankings services. The 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges,” issued in July, called UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” In January, Princeton Review named UNC Asheville to its “Best College Values for 2010” list.

UNC Asheville Named One of the 50 “Best Value” Public Colleges in the U.S. by Princeton Review Rising costs in today’s challenging economy has pushed up the price of everything from gas to groceries. But there are still great values to be found in higher education, according to “Best Value Colleges for 2010” ranking released today from the Princeton Review. UNC Asheville was among just 50 institutions nationwide named to the “Best Value” Public Colleges list. The Princeton Review also published a 50 “Best Value” Private Colleges list, for a total of 100 colleges in all. UNC Asheville was the only college or university in Western North Carolina to make the list.This is the fourth year that UNC Asheville has been selected by the Princeton Review as one of the 50 best value public colleges in the country. According to the Princeton Review, the schools that made the “Best Value” list are “first-rate institutions offering outstanding academics at a relatively low cost of attendance and/or generous financial aid.” The Princeton Review praised UNC Asheville’s growing national academic reputation, noting that the University provides “students a private school experience at a public school cost.” It also favorably notes the University’s numerous academic options, small class size and strong focus on the liberal arts. The ranking applauds UNC Asheville’s accessible faculty and the diverse offering of student activities both on and off campus. The Princeton Review selected the top 100 institutions as its “Best Value” choices for 2010 based on its surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private colleges and universities. The selection criteria covered more than 30 factors in three areas: academics, costs of attendance, and financial aid, using the most recently reported data from each institution for the 2008-09 academic year. UNC Asheville consistently ranks as one of the nation’s best values in higher education. It has made the Fiske Guide to Colleges’ “Best Buy” list for the past 16 years and is among the Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s 100 best value public colleges and universities. And according to U.S. News & World Report’s current college rankings, UNC Asheville is among the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation whose students graduated with the least debt in 2008.

DR. ANNE PONDER CHANCELLOR UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ASHEVILLE Dr. Anne Ponder became the sixth Chancellor of the University of North Carolina Asheville in October 2005. Chancellor Ponder is a native of Asheville and a lifelong educator. She earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She began her academic career at Elon College (now Elon University) in North Carolina, where she was the first woman and first pretenure professor to receive the Daniels-Danieley Award for Excellence in Teaching. During her nine years at Elon, she taught English and communications, and founded the college’s Honors Program. She later joined Guilford College in North Carolina, where she was an associate professor of English and interdisciplinary studies and served as associate academic dean. At Kenyon College in Ohio, she served as professor of English and drama, academic dean, adding ‘vice president for information technology’ to her portfolio. In 1995, she was selected to become president at Colby-Sawyer College, a private liberal arts college in New London, N.H., where she would serve for ten years. At UNC Asheville, Chancellor Ponder has led a campuswide collaboration resulting in a five-year Strategic Plan and then implemented an administrative reorganization that focuses University resources on the Strategic Plan’s highest priorities. As part of that strategy, the UNC Asheville campus now serves as the new national headquarters for the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. Chancellor Ponder is a nationally known expert on institutional effectiveness, strategic planning, and fundraising and resource development. She has been a frequent faculty member of Harvard University’s Institutes for Higher Education, and has written a chapter on strategic planning for the book “Leading America’s Branch Campuses,” edited by Samuel Schuman and published by the American Council on Education. In addition to serving the University, Chancellor Ponder is member of the Mission Hospitals Audit Committee and the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. She also serves as a member of the Asheville Community and Economic Development Alliance. Chancellor Ponder is the daughter of the late Herschel and Eleanor Ponder, both of whom traced their Asheville family roots back to the 1780s. She is married to Christopher Brookhouse, an award-winning writer and publisher previously on the English faculty at UNC Chapel Hill.

JANET R. CONE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR FOR UNIVERSITY ENTERPRISES Janet R. Cone is in her eighth year as Director of Athletics at UNC Asheville. She also serves as the school as Senior Administrator for University Enterprises.

Last year, Cone saw the UNC Asheville men’s basketball team win the Big South Conference championship and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In addition, the Bulldog women’s indoor track and field squad finished in third place, the highest finish in school history. Senior sprinter Natalie Pearson made her second appearance in the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field meet. Two years ago, Chancellor Anne Ponder appointed Cone to the newly-created position of Senior Administrator for University Enterprises.

She continues as a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Staff and assists Chancellor Ponder in more closely aligning the university with the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement. In 2009, Cone created the Asheville Sports Commission to help bring athletic events to the Asheville area. Her leadership helped land the Southern Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournament to return to Asheville starting in 2012. Student-Athletes have excelled in the classroom under Cone’s leadership. In 2004, she created the Athletic Director’s 3.0 + Club that recognizes all student-athletes who make a 3.0 or better grade point average each semester. More than 700 student-athletes have made the club during Cone’s six years, and in 2009-10, a record number of student-athletes earned that distinction. During that same time period, more than 600 student-athletes have been named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll, and in 2009-10 more than 60 percent of UNC Asheville’s student-athletes have earned this impressive academic distinction. The Department of Athletics has also successfully hosted two Big South Conference Tournaments that produced revenue for the school. Cone has overseen construction projects that has dramatically improved the facilities in which UNC Asheville’s Bulldog student-athletes compete and train. (1) The Wilma Sherrill Center for Health and Wellness/Kimmel Arena was finished last spring and is being used this semester. Funded partly through a $35 million state appropriation, Cone helped raise more than seven million dollars in private funds to construct the Kimmel Arena, a major convocation space that will accommodate larger group events than the campus has been able to host before. Among other things, this will allow the university to host its own graduation on campus, attract major venue speakers and performances, and will secure a future home for men’s and women’s basketball teams. The inaugural game in Kimmel Arena will be against UNC Chapel Hill on Nov. 13 and that game will be nationally televised by ESPNU. (2) Renovation and repairs to the Karl Straus Track began in the spring of 2009. Cone helped raised more than one million dollars in private funding for the track project. (3) Cone negotiated a partnership with Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort for construction of a new Bulldog tennis facility which has indoor courts, composition courts and six hard courts that was completed n the fall of 2009. The facility has been the home of Bulldog men’s and women’s tennis for the past two seasons and this spring will host the Big South Conference men’s and women’s tennis tournaments for the first time in school history. Highlights of the 2007-08 year included the men’s basketball team being co-regular season champions of the Big South Conference and earning a bid to the National Invitational Tournament, making UNC Asheville the first men’s basketball team in Big South history to receive a bid to the NIT. Cone helped the department successfully host the Big South Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament and Women’s Basketball Tournament in back-to-back weekends. In October of 2007, Cone was named the 2007 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators. UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder was delighted to see Cone receive the award. “Janet Cone’s inspirational leadership has set a very high standard for our student-athletes and our coaches, all of whom continue to be winners both on and off the field,” stated Ponder. “We are thrilled that she is being recognized in this way for her vision, her energy, and her tenacity, qualities our University benefits from each and every day.”

ROCKY Since UNC Asheville first fielded athletics teams in the 1930s (then known as Biltmore College), the bulldog has been its mascot. Early students chose the bulldog for its fierce and tenacious reputation. In the decades that have followed, the bulldog has become a beloved symbol of our University. In 1948, “Puck,” arrived on campus and began a tradition of live bulldog mascots that lasted into the 1980s. Puck, named after the character in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was followed by Puck II and in the 1960s by Chuga-lug. In the 1980s the campus welcomed Winston, named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, both for his bulldogged resolve as well as his appearance.Winston appeared for only a year and the tradition of a live mascot fell out of use. In 2009 thanks to a group of student organizers, UNC Asheville welcomed a new bulldog mascot to the University community. “Rocky I” made his first public appearance at halftime of UNC Asheville’s homecoming basketball game on Feb. 21, 2009. Alumni couple, Alexis Johnson (’97) and Ed Johnson (’96), also a member of the math faculty, are his keepers. The name “Rocky” was suggested by staff member Nancy Williams during a naming contest sponsored by the Athletics Department in 1995. Though the rumor has often been that the name came from Sylvester Stallone’s famous character, Rocky Balboa, which is based on the American prize fighter Rocky Marciano, the name was chosen because it means steadfast, much like the mountains that surround campus. Ironically, the name “Rocky,” which is of English origin, is a derivation of the name “Roch” (also Rocco and Roque) after St. Roch, the Patron Saint of Dogs. In addition to the live bulldogs, the UNC Asheville mascot has also been depicted by an army of costumed students. Since the 1960s, students dressed as the bulldog have rallied the fans at thousands of games in support of Bulldog Athletics. The present incarnation of Rocky was introduced during the 2006-2007 season and is the first to accurately reflect the logo image of the bulldog used on signs and in print publications. That image, introduced during the 2004-05 season is the fifth official incarnation of the UNC Asheville bulldog logo. In the late 1990s, the image of the bulldog, or “Rocky,” was immortalized in aluminum through a gift by the Class of 1998. Sculpted by Matt West (‘00) and modeled after a canine friend of the University, Pete “Bubba” McGill, the statue of Rocky stands in front of the Justice Center as a sentinel over campus. Careful observers will note a chipped tooth and a torn ear, signs of his ferocity. Despite his tough outward appearance, the statue of Rocky is beloved by fans. Continuing a tradition begun by the Class of 1998, each year, during convocation and commencement, freshman and seniors rub his head for good luck before going to the ceremonies. Seniors are also often spotted getting their picture made riding Rocky in the days leading up to graduation. UNC Asheville is proud of its bulldog heritage. Today, Rocky, in all of his forms serves as a rallying point for fans far and wide.
