t the 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, the PGA Tour's annual stop in Las Vegas, the Rebel Ranch was created. The Rebel Ranch was a UNLV-branded hospitality area on the 18th fairway at TPC Summerlin that offered an up-close view of the finishing hole with indoor and outdoor seating. Special UNLV programming took place each day of the PGA Tour event, but most notable was the UNLV Men's Golf Day. The Rebels' 1998 national championship team was celebrated and many of that team's members were on hand, including head coach Dwaine Knight, to participate in a round-table discussion.

At the 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, a round-table discussion was held with Coach Knight, former Rebels on the PGA Tour and members of UNLV's 1998 national championship team. It was hosted by Jack Sheehan.

Academics

CLAssROOm suCCess “Success in the classroom is essential to success on the golf course, so we offer our student-athletes as much support academically as they get athletically. Academics are and must remain the top priority for our student-athletes.” -- David Jackson, Director of Student-Athlete Academic Services and Men's Golf Academic Advisor

Rebel Golf And Academics

Rebel golf boasted yet another outstanding year in the classroom in 2011-12. Carl Jonson and Kurt Kitayama each received Academic All-Mountain West accolades. To be eligible for selection to the Academic All-MW team, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the school while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their team. Also, Jonson and Colby Smith were named MW Scholar-Athletes, Smith for the fourth time. The MW Scholar-Athlete Award is one of the highest academic honors bestowed by the conference. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least two academic terms at the member institution, while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better, and have participated in varsity competition in an NCAA-sponsored sport. In both 2010-11 and 2009-10, three Rebel golfers earned Academic All-MW, while in 2008-09, two were recognized. In both 2007-08 and 2006-07, four were honored, and in 2005-06, six Rebel golfers were on the academic all-conference team. In 2004-05, UNLV had eight such honorees - a group that was led by former student-athlete Ryan Moore, who was named a second team Academic All-American. Moore was just the second Rebel ever to earn that distinction. Over the last decade, Rebel golf has had 12 All-America Scholars and four Academic All-Americans.

ver since its first classroom opened in 1957, UNLV has been on the rise in the world of higher education. From dusty lots with only a few buildings to a lush, ever-expanding setting, the campus has continued to respond to the demands stemming from an increasing enrollment. The University boasts nationally competitive business programs and a school of hotel administration that attracts students from around the globe. But with 246 degree programs in 15 schools and colleges, UNLV offers the student-athlete an array of educational opportunities. UNLV maintains an academic support system for its student-athletes that is designed to ensure success on and off the fields of play. Housed in the Academic Success Center, academic advisors work with the 17 men’s and women’s sports ensuring student-athletes receive personalized care regarding their progress in education. Advisors work with their sport-specific student-athletes in scheduling, tutoring, degree progress and NCAA eligibility. Providing even greater challenges, students who maintain a 3.5 grade point average can apply for entrance into UNLV’s honors program.

The UNLV men’s golf program has a current string of 18 straight semesters with a 3.0 team grade point average or higher and the squad's 3.34 team GPA in the spring of 2007 was its highest since fall of 1996. In the fall of 2011, the team earned a 3.21 cumulative GPA.

Former Rebel golfer Ryan Moore became just the second Rebel ever to earn Academic All-America honors when he was named to the second team in 2004-05.

Two-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree and Parker Award Winner Scott Lander was joined by head coach Dwaine Knight and his wife, Debbie, at his graduation.

sOuTHeRN HiGHLANDs GOLF CLub 18TH HOLe

The finishing hole is the longest on the course, a massive 622-yard, par 5. The fairway is bisected by a stream. Playing the hole uphill and to the left is more dangerous but presents a shorter route and a better shot into the green. Taking the low road to the right will keep you out of trouble most of the way, but leaves you with a blind shot across water to the green. The choice is all yours.

hen Southern Highlands opened its doors and fairways in 2000, the advance billing foretold that it was going to be a great course, clearly one of the elite new private clubs in America. It’s apparent that the hype was totally justified. Golf Digest placed Southern Highlands in its top six best new private clubs in the country and ranked it as the best new private club in the Western U.S. How fitting, then, that the UNLV golf program, with a recent national championship and a history of being ranked near the top of the college golf standings, should choose Southern Highlands as its official home course. "Being so close to McCarran Airport, Southern Highlands is one of the first places we like to take a new recruit and his parents when they come to town," UNLV golf head coach Dwaine Knight says. "Just one look out at the course from the clubhouse veranda, with its panoramic view of the entire Las Vegas valley, provides a great first impression of our city and the wonderful facilities available to a young man considering our program.” With $40 million (exclusive of land costs) and a rare collaboration of architects Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr., Southern Highlands offers 18 distinctly beautiful and unique golf holes which honor the land upon which they are sculpted. Just six

months after the course opened, it was deemed worthy by the $4.25 million Invensys Classic PGA Tour event to join the three-course rotation. One of many holes that had the world’s best golfers buzzing was the 622-yard uphill par-5 18th, with its split fairway and 16 acres of land and meandering water and sand. The hole affords a great view of the $16 million clubhouse, where golfers convene shortly after their rounds to take in the scenery and discuss the joys and challenges of playing Southern Highlands. The collaboration between this wonderful new nationally ranked golf club and a proud UNLV championship golf program is a perfect marriage of class, beauty and distinction.

Though the par-3 eighth hole is only 167 yards, the combination of water and sand in front of the green can make its length a bit deceiving. Club selection is critical. Trust the yardage book and make your mistakes long. Short is trouble.

17TH HOLe

No. 17 at Southern Highlands is one of the most challenging par 3's you're likely to face. It's 217 yards from the back tee with water flowing from here all the way around the peninsula green. Sand protects the front right and back left green so there's not much room for error.

5TH HOLe

The fifth hole is a short, 365-yard, par 4 that dares players to fire at the green from the tee. However, to do so, you must carry water all the way. The more prudent will use a long-iron or fairway wood from the tee and be left with a short pitch to the green.

TRAVeL iN sTyLe “Again, we are going to play against the best teams and play in the best venues to prepare us to compete for another national championship.” -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

The Rebels’ schedule will carry them from the desert southwest of Arizona and New Mexico, north to Colorado and Ohio, down south to Alabama, Georgia and Texas, and across the ocean to Hawaii. The Mountain West Championship will be played in Tucson, Ariz., for a seventh consecutive year, while the NCAA Regionals will be held at six different sites for the fifth time. The Rebels will also play right here in Las Vegas in March when they host the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. This year's NCAA Championship will be played in Atlanta, Ga., at the Capital City Club.

To help its student-athletes balance the rigorous demands of the college curriculum with its intense travel schedule, UNLV flies to some of its tournaments via private jet. Thanks to the support of many local enterprises, the Rebels are able to reduce both travel time and missed classes, and find more opportunities to focus on academics.

Physical Therapy

THe FiNesT CARe

Kleven speaks at Rebel Golf Day at Southern Highlands Golf Club.

The Rebels take advantage of state-of-the-art work workout facilities and physical therapy equipment.

ebel golfers have the incomparable opportunity to come under the tutelage of one of the nation’s leaders in physical therapy, Keith Kleven. A clinical educator and researcher, Kleven has bachelor’s and master’s degrees and served a one year residency in physical therapy under the school of Physical Therapy and Medicine at the University of Southern California, and is a certified athletic trainer. Kleven has been a groundbreaker in his emerging field for more than 30 years and has been directly involved with the UNLV golf program since 1989. He was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame as part of its 2005 class. Currently the owner/director of the Keith Kleven Institute of Orthopaedic Sports and Dance Rehabilitation in Las Vegas, he is a clinical instructor for 18 colleges KeiTH KLeVeN K eVeN KL and universities as well as the personal trainer and Professor of Physical Therapy therapist for many U.S. sports teams, professional teams, professional athletes and entertainers. Tiger Woods, Mark O’Meara, Chris Riley, John Cook and Emilee Klein are just some of the professional golfers who have worked with Kleven. “Keith has been with us from the start, and I think, physically, there is no better trainer in the world,” said UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight. “You can see who has trained with him: Mark O’Meara, Tiger Woods, plus our team and all the other great athletes. He is absolutely the best. If a person is really serious about playing professional golf and reaching the highest level they can, he is the kind of trainer you would look for. He is so individually specific, which is what makes him such a valuable part of our program. We are very fortunate to have him on campus as a professor and have him in our program. There is no question that without his support and help we would not be a top program.” Presently doing research in injury prevention and training to enhance golf performance, Kleven is also the author of numerous articles and is a highly sought-after speaker.

He is absolutely the best. If a person is really serious about playing professional golf and reaching the highest level they can, he is the kind of trainer you would look for.” -- Head coach Dwaine Knight

UNLV Golf had a unique evening during the 1994 Las Vegas Invitational when four PGA players under the care of Keith Kleven gathered to meet the squad. From stroke techniques to the advantages of staying in school, the informal Q&A session offered insight into the life of a professional golfer. Giving free tips that night were (L-R): Dennis Watson, Dwaine Knight, Paul Azinger, Prof. Keith Kleven, Lenny Clements and John Cook.

Kleven's work with Tiger Woods was featured in this Men's Fitness Magazine issue.

mental Training

THe FiNesT CARe “Golf is such a mental game, and Mark's expertise lies in making the connection between being mentally prepared and then allowing the body and the muscles to carry through with that preparation." -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

n addition to the various physical and academic support systems available to UNLV student-athletes, the Rebel golf team also has the advantage of mental training, under the supervision of Dr. Mark Guadagnoli. Guadagnoli, a professor in UNLV's Department of Kinesiology, also serves as a mental training consultant for the Rebels. A professor at the school since 1991, this will mark Guadagnoli's 11th season working with the Rebel golf team. “Golf is no longer your grandfather’s game,” Guadagnoli said. “The way these elite athletes play the game requires intensity, focus, and a great deal of athleticism. My job is to help them achieve this." "We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Mark's ability and experience right here on campus," UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight said. "Golf is such a mental game, and Mark's expertise lies in making the connection between being mentally prepared and then allowing the body and the muscles to carry through with that preparation. His resume and reputation speak for themselves and we are lucky to have that advantage." Guadagnoli has spent the past 20-plus years working as a consultant to collegiate and professional athletes in all sports, but specializes in working with golfers. Golfers at all levels have worked under his tutelage, including players and instructors on the PGA, LPGA, Nationwide and AJGA tours as well as participants of the U.S. Amateur, Walker Cup and Palmer Cup. Guadagnoli has worked with golfers at the Masters, U.S. Open and other PGA events. Guadagnoli began studying human performance late in his undergraduate days at Texas A&M, where he received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in kinesiology. He then worked as a Research Psychologist for the Army Research Institute for Behavioral Sciences while completing the requirements for a dual doctorate in human performance and cognitive psychology from Auburn University.

Guadagnoli addresses the crowd at Rebel Golf Day.

Despite his heavy workload, Guadagnoli earned high praise. He was voted the Most Outstanding Graduate Student of the department, college, and university, the Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year by the Office of Special Programs, and was awarded the prestigious William Revington Outstanding Leadership Award. The praise has continued at UNLV, where he has earned mARK GuADAGNOLi the department's (1999-2000), Mental Training Consultant the college's (1999-2000), and university's (2000-2001) Teacher of the Year Awards and has seven times been voted Outstanding Kinesiology Faculty Member of the Year by a ScholarAthlete or Alumni Association representative. With an impressive resume that is pages long, Guadagnoli has published more than 100 articles and abstracts and has presented his work around the world. In the summer of 2007, his book "Practice to Learn, Play to Win" was published and includes contributions from former Rebel golfer and current PGA Tour player Ryan Moore. Guadagnoli is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Sciences, the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity, and the Interdisciplinary Conference on Human Performance. He has also served as a delegate and editor for the World Scientific Congress of Golf.

Guadagnoli's book "Practice to Learn, Play to Win" was published in 2007 and includes contributions from former Rebel golfer and current PGA Tour player Ryan Moore.

Athletic Training

THe FiNesT CARe “This is one of the top complexes in the nation because of the versatility it offers to service student-athletes in every area of sports medicine.”

-- Kyle Wilson, UNLV Director of Athletic Training

ay-to-day preventative medicine on the campus was made easier with the opening of the Marilyn and Si Redd Sports Medicine Complex. The state-of-the-art operation is a major part of the $8.5 million Lied Athletic Complex. Made possible by a generous gift of $1.5 million by Marilyn and Si Redd, the athletic training facility incorporates the total scope of sports medicine over an 8,500-square-foot area. Aside from five staff offices, a rehabilitation room houses a dozen pieces of equipment including Cybex stationary bicycles, stair machines and treadmills, all under a natural skylight. The largest area features a dozen tables to offer student-athletes various treatments throughout the day. Taping, padding and bracing all take place in another all-inclusive room. Finally, an aquatic therapy room features three above-ground whirlpools surrounding a 10-feet deep pool for rehabilitative exercises. All of these features make it possible for UNLV student-athletes to rehabilitate injuries without ever needing to leave the Lied Athletic Complex. Other amenities include a physician’s office and exam room to provide daily medical service for student-athletes. A drug-testing facility also is part of the new complex. This expedites medical care because the student-athletes' health care is self-contained. Also, UNLV’s academic program and its student athletic trainers benefit from a sports medicine library, study room and conference facility. “Aside from being four times larger than our former facility,” says Kyle

An aquatic therapy room includes a rehabilitative pool. Wilson, UNLV’s Director of Athletic Training. “This is one of the top complexes in the nation because of the versatility it offers to service student-athletes in every area of sports medicine. We’re now more efficient, more accessible and more effective in preventing and rehabilitating athletic injuries.”

A skylight welcomes natural light into the rehabilitation room.

2012-13 Rebels Playing for national titles. That is, and has been for quite some time, the goal of the UNLV men's golf team under head coach Dwaine Knight, who is in his 26th year at the helm of the program. Under his watch, the Rebels have captured a team national title, two individual national championships and four NCAA Regional team titles. The perennial power has been so successful through the years that is has become expected with each and every season that the team will compete for the national crown. The Rebels have played in the national finals 17 times under Knight, with all of those appearances coming in the last 24 years. Last year's squad continued its NCAArecord streak of 24 straight regional appearances, but the Rebels' season ended in Greensboro, N.C., where they finished eighth at the NCAA East Regional. In UNLV's previous tournament - the Mountain West Championship in Tucson, Ariz. the team finished tied for third. Even though the 2011-12 season ended a bit prematurely by the high standards the UNLV golf program has set for itself with its tradition of excellence and success, the campaign had many memorable moments. UNLV recorded five team victories during the season and had four individual medalists. The five team wins tied for second in program history for most wins in a season. The 1998-99 team also won five tournaments, trailing only the 1997-98 national championship squad that won seven events that year. The winning percentage of .417 (five wins in 12 events) was the second-best in program history, only behind the 1997-98 team's .467 (seven wins in 15 events). Additionally, UNLV's four individual titles tied the record for most in a season equaling the total in 1998-99, 1993-94 and 1990-91. The Rebels climbed the national rankings for most of the season, rising as high as No. 2 in the country in March after winning their fifth tournament of the season. "We are heading into this year trying to build off of the success we had last season," Knight said. "We won some tournaments early in the season and we hadn't won that many in several years. I though that was a real plus for us and also that we had wins all over, in different areas of the country. That built a real positive confidence for us moving forward."

Knight credits most of last year's success to the top three players in the lineup - Derek Ernst, Kevin Penner and Blake Biddle. Ernst, who was a senior last year, and Penner, who is a senior this year, both earned honorable mention All-America honors and were selected to the All-Mountain West team. Biddle, who is entering his junior year, along with Ernst and Penner were named PING All-West Region. "Derek and Kevin in the lineup last year provided a good one-two punch and Blake got better throughout the year," Knight said. "Those top three were very good for us. We were able to get back into the regionals and the five team and four individual wins were really good for the team. Unfortunately, we just didn't play well in the regionals and that was a disappointment. The first round really hurt us and we weren't able to catch up. "But we were there and had a shot. Last year's team was one of our better teams in a while and we hope to build off of that." Heading into the 2012-13 campaign, the Rebels look to have a good mix of veteran experience with young talent. "We are really pretty young in some cases." Knight said. "We will be playing mainly freshman and sophomores in the 3-5 positions, but I can see the competition on the team really starting to push each other. We will get the opportunity to play a lot of different lineups and will be able to use the fall to see what works best for us. Our depth will be better this

year and overall I am pleased with where we are. The biggest concern will be filling that fifth spot. If we can get one or two rounds out of that guy on a consistent basis, then we will have a great shot at the end of the year. Expected to lead the way will be Penner, who is in his fourth year with the program. He holds a 72.60 career scoring average, which currently ranks eighth in program history. He has three career individual victories, which is seventh on the all-time UNLV list and he has tallied 20 career top-20 finishes, 14 top-10s and 10 topfives. "Kevin is just an outstanding player," Knight said. "I think his game has improved tremendously and now he is our team captain as well as being our best player. "His consistency is outstanding, tournament to tournament. I really believe he is one of the premier players in the country and I think he is going to have a big year. His all-around game from driving to irons to short game has all really come together and I am excited to see what he does this season. I think he is going to have a great run. His level of play and focus is really high and he has a great shot at making the PGA Tour when his collegiate career is over. Moving into the No. 2 spot for the Rebels this season will be Biddle. Over his twoyear college career he has 15 top-20 finishes, 11 top-10s and three topfives. He won his first career individual title last season at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters, which is hosted by UNLV.

Season outlook

The 2012-13 UNLV men's golf team: Back Row (L to R): James Feutz, Arthur Kim, Kevin Penner, Mental Training Consultant Mark Guadagnoli, Head Coach Dwaine Knight, Assistant Coach JC Deacon, AJ McInerney, Nicholas Maruri. Front Row (L to R): Kenden Slattery, Blake Biddle, Kurt Kitayama, Zane Thomas, David Flynn, Carl Jonson.

Last year, Biddle turned in a scoring average of 71.89 over 36 rounds, which is the 15thlowest seasonal average in Rebel golf history. In addition, he had a streak of shooting in the 60s in the final round of a tournament in each of his last six events last year, including a 67 in the final round of the Mountain West Championship, which tied the UNLV record for lowest final round at a conference championship. "Blake had a great win last year in our home tournament," Knight said. "He is capable of winning any golf tournament he goes to and is very capable of competing with the best in the country. His win last year gave him a lot of confidence and he has seen what we have to do to get back to the national championship. Blake helps give us the depth at the top of the lineup that you need to compete for national titles." AJ McInerney, a freshman from Coronado High School in Henderson, Nev., is new to the program, but figures to play a major role, even early on in his career. He was an AJGA first team All-American and was ranked as the No. 4 player in the country in the class of 2012 by Golfweek. In addition, he

won the individual state championship twice (2010 & 2012). "AJ was one of the best players in the country coming into college, no doubt about it," Knight said. He has a bigtime game with a real protype style. We are really strong with him in the lineup." Carl Jonson, a sophomore who returns for his second year with UNLV, is looking to secure the No. 4 spot for the Rebels. He played in a team-high-tying 36 rounds last year and recorded a scoring average of 72.94, which was fifth on the team. He had four top-20 finishes and a top-10, shooting par or better 11 times. "Carl gives us a big punch a little further down in the lineup," Knight said. "His game has really come around. He has made remarkable improvement from where he was a year ago as a freshman." Nicolas Maruri is a juinor who had his sophomore season cut short after breaking his wrist. He played in four tournaments in the fall of 2011, turning in a scoring average of 72.58. He had three top-20 finishes, a top-10 and a top-five, while recording seven rounds of par or better. His best finish of the year was third at the Herb

Wimberly Intercollegiate. His 54-hole of 202 at that event tied him for the sixth-lowest score in program history. "Nicolas gives us a lot more depth, but he is coming back off a tough injury," Knight said. "If he can get healthy and back to where he was playing before he suffered the broken wrist, that will help us tremendously in that fifth spot. Also returning from last year is sophomore Kurt Kitayama. He played in 24 rounds in 201112 and had three top-20 finishes. "Kurt played a lot for us last year and got to the regionals," Knight said. "He has showed a lot of promise in being able to play at that level, but we are looking for consistency from him. He has a good pedigree being a Northern California Junior Player of the Year and having played a lot last year gives him some experience heading into this season. He has been putting a lot of effort in." Another freshman coming in who is expected to make a difference for the Rebels in 2012-13 is Zane Thomas. He attended Arbor View High School in Las Vegas and was the 2010 AJGA Las Vegas Junior Champion. "Zane will help us with the competition," Knight said. "He has the game to step in and help us right away, but he will need to focus on being consistent and also learning to balance school with all the other things that are new to him at UNLV." Some other options for Knight to use throughout the season are David Flynn, James Feutz, Kenden Slattery and Arthur Kim. Flynn is a sophomore that used the 2011-12 season as a redshirt year after transferring from Carleton College. Feutz is a freshman from University Place, Wash., who was a Future Collegians World Tour First Team All-American. Slattery is also a freshman, who is also from Coronado High School, where he was a teammate of McInerney. Kim, is a senior entering his third year in the program. He has played a total of 21 rounds over two seasons at UNLV. "All of these guys can give us some help at the back of the lineup if they can work up and get competitive in qualifying to have a shot at going to play in tournaments for us. "We need to get some help from those guys and have someone step forward and take that fifth spot." The Rebels appear to be a deeper squad for the 2012-13 season, which is exciting for everyone associated with the Rebel golf program. After all, playing for national titles... that's the goal. It has been for quite some time and will continue to be well into the future. 23

or the 38th time, many of the nation's top collegiate programs will showcase their talent at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. Hosted by UNLV and the Las Vegas Founders, this prestigious men's golf event annually lures the country's best to compete in the desert. In fact, on an almost annual basis, the event is ranked as the No. 1 tournament in all of collegiate golf in strength of schedule by Golfweek. Established in 1974, the tournament has undergone various format changes, promoted a half-dozen sponsors and survived a two-year hiatus in its 37-year history. It began as the Rebel Collegiate Golf Classic, a small, six-team, 36-hole fall event for Division I programs in the West. To efficiently utilize resources, play was split between the Dunes Country Club and Las Vegas Country Club, and no practice rounds were permitted on either course. Arizona State defeated BYU by a single stroke, and the Rebels finished fourth overall in year one. Since then, the tournament has gone through a myriad of changes. A third round was added in 1975, but counted the lowest five scores of a six-man squad. By 1984, a standard 4-of-5 scoring system was introduced. And it wasn't until 1988 that newly hired head coach Dwaine Knight was able to secure Desert Inn Country Club to host all three rounds, eliminating the rotating course format. The tournament was abandoned in 1996 before UNLV and Golf Digest resurrected it the following season. Moving play to the spring portion of the schedule, the Golf Digest Collegiate Invitational featured one of the richest fields to play in Las Vegas. In 2002, the tournament became known as the Toyota Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegiate and was played at the Rebels' home course, Southern Highlands Golf Club. The tournament then became known simply as the Southern Highlands Collegiate Championship before another name change in 2010 to the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. The SHCM wouldn't be possible without the help of Garry Goett, President of Southern Highlands Golf Club, and the Rebel golf program is very appreciative of all of his efforts. Despite its frequent facelifts, the tourney consistently features the nation's top young golf talent. Jay Don Blake, Stewart Cink, David Duval, Ed Fryatt, David Gossett, Billy Mayfair, Ryan Moore, Phil Mickelson and Camilo Villegas are all former winners that have gone on to PGA Tour success. Other PGA veterans on the tournament's list of "alumni" are Rich Beem, Robert Gamez, Bob May, Paul Stankowski and Scott Verplank along with former Rebels Chad Campbell, Chris Riley, Adam Scott, Skip Kendall, Jeremy Anderson, Ed Fryatt and Charley Hoffman. The individual medalist trophy was named the Jimmy Pettyjohn Trophy in 2006, in memory of the former Rebel Golf Foundation Board member. UNLV holds the tourney record with 10 titles, while Arizona State is one back at nine. The Rebels have won three straight on two separate occasions: from 1993-95 and from 2008-10. UNLV has also won six of the last eight overall and four of the last five.

Once again, picturesque Southern Highlands Golf Club will serve as the host course, as it has since 2002. The Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters has been ranked No. 1 in strength of schedule several times by Golfweek.

he yardstick by which success is measured in college golf is undoubtedly the NCAA Championship. While plenty of other tournaments carry prestige and feature luxurious and exclusive courses, the NCAA finals are always the pinnacle of the college golf season. In 2013, UNLV will be seeking its 18th appearance at the national finals. The Rebels have qualified for 17 NCAA finals since Dwaine Knight took over the program. UNLV has enjoyed success at the finals, finishing in the top 10 nine times and top 15 11 times, including a victory at the 1998 NCAA Championship and a runner-up finish in 1996. Additionally, two UNLV individuals have brought home the national title (Warren Schutte in 1991 and Ryan Moore in 2004). The Rebels will be looking for their second national team title when play begins at Capital City Club in Atlanta, Ga. The NCAA finals will be held May 28-June 2, 2013. A new format was introduced four years ago. Following 54 holes of stroke play, the individual champion is then crowned. The field is then cut to the low eight teams, which advance to match-play until a team champion emerges. Thirty teams qualify for the NCAA Championship finals, but instead of coming from three regions like in the past, six sites now host NCAA Regionals. The Rebels have been to a NCAA-record 24 straight regionals.

“He’s done it the right way, by knowing what’s in the best interest of his players. Some coaches tell their kids, ‘I’m not your friend.’ When Dwaine develops a bond with a player, it’s not for four years, it’s for a lifetime.”

--- South Carolina Director of Golf Puggy Blackmon

“I definitely owe all of my golf accomplishments to Coach Knight. As a freshman I wasn’t a very good putter. He taught me putting, and I became one of the best putters on the Tour. He taught me a lot about golf and life.”

--- Former UNLV and current PGA Tour player Chris Riley

“The coaches you see out there recruiting at the junior and amateur tournaments in the summer are the ones you can bet will have success. I see Dwaine at those tournaments all the time. He’s definitely one of the best coaches around today.”

--- Former Arizona State Head Coach Randy Lein

“They’re always the team to beat if you want to win a Mountain West title, and it will always be that way. UNLV will always be one of the elite programs in the country as long as Dwaine’s around.”

--- Brigham Young Head Coach Bruce Brockbank

“He allows players to function on their own. He instills discipline but also lets you find your own path. I wasn’t here to be a pro golfer; I was here to go to college. Now, I’ve graduated from law school.”

--- Former UNLV golfer and former Assistant Coach Daron Dorsey

“As far as his ability to coach is concerned, you need to look no further than his 1998 national championship. He’s in a very elite group that we all aspire to and very few actually achieve. Within 10 years, he went from not contending to winning a national title.”

--- Oklahoma State Director of Athletics and former Head Coach Mike Holder

“Dwaine Knight is a terrific coach and the resources are unparalleled. Aside from having the leading courses in the Vegas area at our disposal, we had access to the same physical trainer who works with Tiger Woods. The environment lends itself to becoming a better golfer. If I hadn't thought so, I wouldn't have returned for my senior year after winning the Amateur and nearly every other important event in amateur golf. I felt that I could still benefit from the resources of that program.”

--- Former UNLV and current PGA Tour player Ryan Moore

Coaching Staff

two-time National Coach of the Year and 2002 GCAA Hall of Fame inductee, Dwaine Knight has been the driving force behind the tremendous success of Rebel Golf since his arrival in Las Vegas in the fall of

1987. Knight, who is in his 26th season at the helm of the UNLV men’s golf program, has nurtured Rebel golf from near-anonymity to one of the premier programs in the nation. In 1998, he guided the Rebels to their first-ever NCAA crown in Albuquerque, N.M. Knight has taken the Rebels to an unprecedented 17 trips to the national finals and coached them to 11 top-15 finishes. Additionally, he has led his team to a current NCAA-record 24 straight appearances at the NCAA Regionals. Under his tutelage, the Rebels earned their first-ever No. 1 ranking in 1993 and following the 1997-98 season, the team finished No. 1 in the nation in all polls. All-Am A true teacher of the sport, Knight has tutored 41 All-Americans at UNLV, a National Player of the Year, a National Freshman of the Year, a U.S. Amateu Amateur Champion, three U.S. Public Links Champions, Champ three Walker Cup participants and six Palmer Cup representatives. Additionally Additionally, two former Rebel golfers have gone on to play for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup. capt Knight has captured three national titles (one team cha championship and two individuals), has won six conference a has developed championships and all-conferenc players. Over the 66 all-conference last decade, Knight has helped go 12 Rebel golfers earn the AllSch America Scholar award and four have been named Academic All-Americ All-Americans. "I am very proud of what hav accomplished at we have UNLV in my time here," Knig Knight said. "I can

remember the first time we qualified for nationals (in 1989) and how excited we were just to make it there. Now I feel that we have moved to the next level where our players expect to go to nationals and are ready to compete for the national championship every year. “Winning our three national titles (one team in 1998 and two individuals in 1991 and 2004) has been a dream come true for myself and the school. We felt that as a team we had been a serious contender prior to winning it all, and to get over the top really legitimized our program. Winning those championships is a reflection of the outstanding young men that we have had in our program and all of the hard work and effort they have given through the years, both on and off the golf course." Since Knight came to UNLV, 10 of his players have gone on to play on the PGA TOUR and seven of those are still active and have combined for 18 PGA TOUR titles. Knight came to UNLV from the University of New Mexico, where he served as the head coach from 1978-87. Eight of his players earned All-American honors and 14 were tabbed All-WAC. He led the Lobos to a league crown in 1979 and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships that same year. In all, he led New

Helping Players Get To The Next Level PGA Tour players Charley Hoffman, Ryan Moore, Chad Campbell, Chris Riley, Adam Scott, Bill Lunde and Skip Kendall all played collegiately at UNLV and learned from Coach Knight, who many say is one of the top short game instructors in the world. --- GolfLasVegasNow.com

y the time many young golfers get to college, they have spent years with swing instructors with hopes to master techniques to drive the ball longer and straighter and hit irons with perfection. However, not too many work specifically with putting and short game techniques in mind. For Dwaine Knight, the experience of playing on the PGA Tour was valuable, but something he treasures was the chance to work with some outstanding teachers throughout the years - teachers that focused on short-game and putting techniques. Using the knowledge he gained from those individuals along with the experience he gained playing on Tour and then years later as a college coach, Knight has been able to develop a system that has helped his students achieve their goals. Along with working with golfers in the UNLV program, Knight continues to help instruct a number of PGA Tour players and other professional golfers as they continue their quests to be the best. Even with the improvement in technology, the ideas and theories that Knight learned in the early days of the Tour are very relevant to the way good putting and the short game is understood today. With the facilities available to Knight and UNLV, the physical training program that he and Keith Kleven have developed and the teaching opportunities that Knight provides, UNLV is one of the top programs in the nation in helping players reach the next level in their careers.

Coach Knight works with former Rebel golfer and four-time PGA Tour champion Chad Campbell on his putting at The Masters.

What They Are Saying.... “Coach Knight has the ability to keep the putting process very simple and his teaching sessions are always a positive experience. No matter where you are with your putting stroke, he can bring you around to a comfortable stroke that you can trust. He took me from an average putter entering college to a putting stroke which has allowed me to earn a living on the PGA Tour. I respect Dwaine for his willingness to work with all levels of golfers; he is a true teacher of the game.”

--- Charley Hoffman, Former Rebel golfer, 2-time PGA Tour Champion

“I couldn’t be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight. Coach worked with me from the start and helped me with my short game and I saw immediate improvements. I still almost exclusively work with Coach on my short game. He seems to know exactly what I need to work on, even now. I can’t thank Coach and UNLV enough for all they have done for me. It was the perfect university to go to for helping me get to where I am now in my career.”

--- Chad Campbell, Former Rebel golfer, 4-time PGA Tour champion, 2004, 2006, 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup Team

“If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight and Keith Kleven will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level.”

--- Hank Haney, Leading Golf Instructor

“Everywhere I go in the golf market, people mention Coach Knight’s name with the highest respect. Whether it be David Leadbetter or his instructors Frank Thomas, Goeff Mangum or Robert Winters, they all agree his reputation is outstanding.”

--- Dr. Christian Marquardt, Founder - Science&Motion Golf Labs Europe

“He made me understand what was supposed to happen on the putting green. Once I understood that, it seemed easy. He really changed the way I thought about it and my attitude. He helped me go from being one of the worst putters in college to one of the best.”

--- Warren Schutte, Former Rebel golfer, 1991 NCAA Individual Champion

“I believe in the knowledge and understanding he has of the short game. His ability to communicate along with the fundamentals that he has taught me have definitely made me a more confident and aggressive player on and around the greens.”

--- Boyd Summerhays, PGA Tour player

“He kept things so simple and he stressed the importance of it (short game). Everybody wants to go out and hit balls and get on the driving range but he made us practice and it paid off.”

--- Ed Fryatt, Former Rebel golfer, PGA Tour player

“Coach Knight must be congratulated on all of his success. Two Ryder Cup players and a U.S. Amateur champion - something must be working.”

“I have met many of Coach Knight’s former players and they all have nothing but praise for him and the UNLV golf program, as it should be. I am sure he is enjoying the fruits of his hard work over many years.”

“The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf education, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories.”

“He keeps it real simple and everything is consistent. He knows everyone is built differently and has a different style, but he works with what you have and he is just great at it. He knows what he is doing.”

--- David Leadbetter, Leading Golf Instructor

--- Adam Scott, Former Rebel golfer, 8-time PGA Tour champion

--- Jim Nantz, Broadcaster - CBS Sports

--- Justin Lee, Former Rebel golfer

“Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can’t even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the difference between winning and losing.”

--- Ryan Moore, Former Rebel golfer, 2004 NCAA Individual Champion, ion, Two-time PGA Tour Champion “I have never met anybody who knows as much as he does about the short game and putting. Coach Knight has a lot of wisdom about it and the way he sets up to the putter is just awesome.”

--- Chris Riley, Former Rebel golfer, PGA Tour champion, 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup Team “Coach, keep up the good work.”

--- Tiger Woods, 74-time PGA Tour Champion, 14 Major Championships “What makes him so great is he has learned from one of the best short game players in the pens to world - George Low. He has a lot of information on short game and putting, which happens be the most important part of the game and the great thing is he is willing to share it.”

--- Bob May, PGA Tour player

“UNLV: Great Program, Great City, Great Golf Team, Great Place to go to School.”

--- Butch Harmon, World-Renown Golf Instructor

Coach Knight is considered one of the leading teachers of putting and the short game and has written numerous articles on the subject.

Coaching Staff

he UNLV golf program’s success is due, in great part, to the tremendous support it receives from the community and staff. A great majority of the support falls on the shoulders of assistant coach JC

Deacon. Deacon is in his third season as assistant coach with the Rebels golf program, but he is no stranger to it - having been a part of it as a student-athlete from 2001-05. “I’m really proud to have him come back,” said head coach Dwaine Knight. “He played a big role with Ryan Moore and that group when he was here in school.” Playing alongside one of the greatest to ever play for the Rebels in Moore, Deacon was a key figure for the Rebels during those years and helped the team win a Mountain West title in 2002. Deacon finished tied for second individually at the 2002 Mountain West Championships and helped the Rebels advance through the NCAA West Regional to the NCAA Championship. That year Deacon won the Maze Award, which is given annually to the UNLV golfer who best exemplifies the spirit of Rebel Golf. He recorded another top-10 finish at the Mountain West Championship in 2003, again helping the squad through the West Regional and on to the finals, where the team finished 13th. During his college days, Deacon was recognized as a member of the Academic All-Mountain West team. After graduating from UNLV with a bachelor's degree in communications in 2005, Deacon went to play professionally on several tours, including the Gateway and Canadian. He played in 35 events over three years (2008-10) on the Canadian Tour, making 17 cuts. His best finish on the Canadian Tour was a tie for fourth place at the 2008 Saskatchewan Open. In 2007, Deacon won two Minor League Golf Tour titles - the Emerald Hills Classic and the Miami Shores Shootout. In 2005, he advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur. “JC knows the team, he knows our goals - which is to play at the highest level - and having played on the Canadian Tour really helps him," Knight said. "These guys want to go to the next level, and he has great connections throughout the country having played professionally and collegiately.

“I am really proud to have JC back with the program. He played a big role with Ryan Moore and that group when he was here in school. He knows the team, he knows our goals and having played on the Canadian Tour really helps. These guys want to go to the next level, and he has great connections throughout the country having played professionally and collegiately. He has a lot of enthusiasm and he has played at the highest level as an amateur and as a professional too.” -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

“It’s a big draw for us in recruiting because he doesn’t have to go out there and establish those contacts, they are already there. He has a lot of enthusiasm and such a great personality. He was in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur several years ago, where he lost a tough match on the 17th hole. He has played at the highest level as an amateur and as a professional too, and has been a Rebel all those years. We are very happy to have him. "He has been a great addition for us and has really helped elevate our recruiting. He is starting to get real comfortable with coaching, as there are so many different aspects to the job - more than just playing golf and working with the guys. He is so competitive and loves recruiting, which is the lifeblood of having a good program.”

Endowment Program Endowment Program Raises Scholarship funds for rebel golfers

ince the arrival of Dwaine Knight on the UNLV campus as head golf coach in 1987, NCAA Tournament invitations and national rankings have become commonplace. Success such as this becomes possible only through the recruitment of individuals who are not only top junior golfers, but are exceptional student-athletes. UNLV’s golf program scored a major championship in this area in August of 1990 with the endowment of all five scholarships permitted by the NCAA. The UNLV golf program would like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Christina Hixson of the Ernst F. Lied Foundation, International Game Technologies, the estate of Earl E. Wilson, the Las Vegas Founders and the many members of the UNLV Golf Foundation for their generous support of the Golf Endowment Program. The program received a sincerely appreciated financial boost in 1991 when IGT contributed a gift in stock valued at $500,000. An additional $250,000 was added to the endowment fund by the Earl E. Wilson estate in 1993 and in 2004 the Lied Foundation contributed $200,000.

Rebel Golf Committment ead coach Dwaine Knight has established the foundation for a national championship-caliber golf program on a continual basis. Knight’s philosophy places the program’s focus in six major areas:

ACADEMICS Knight emphasizes the importance of student-athletes obtaining a valuable, significant college education. The athletic department’s commitment to this goal includes monitoring student-athletes’ progress through professors and providing tutoring and counseling when necessary. Study halls are available weekly for individual attention. A full-time academic advisor helps each student-athlete develop a challenging, meaningful curriculum, ensuring progress toward a degree is being made while conforming to the standards of the program, the university and the NCAA. COMMUNITY SUPPORT The Rebel Golf Foundation and the Las Vegas community continue to demonstrate support unparalleled in college athletics. UNLV boasts a fully endowed golf program. FACILITIES In addition to some of the finest on-campus athletic facilities in the country, the Rebels have access to the top golf courses in Las Vegas. UNLV’s home course is Southern Highlands, which has been ranked as the best new private club in the Western U.S. However, to meet specific training demands, the Rebels have a wide variety of courses available for use, ranging from desert settings to classic links-style courses. Some of these courses play host to the PGA Tour’s Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, one of the rich-

The Rebel Golf Founcation's Endowment Program now has a standing balance of $5.1 million. The success of Rebel Golf Day, a fundraiser held annually to help defray the rising cost of inflation each year, has also been instrumental. The UNLV Rebel Golf Foundation initiated the endowment fund, which provides funds for the ever-increasing costs associated with a college education. All those involved with UNLV golf appreciate the financial support the community of Las Vegas has given – and continues to give.

est events on the tour. Other venues serve the daily tourists who try their hand at some of the richest, most beautiful and most challenging courses while vacationing in the city. Among the local courses on which the Rebels also play are Angel Park Golf Club, Anthem Country Club, Canyon Gate Country Club, Desert Pines Golf Club, Lakes Golf Club at Primm Valley, Las Vegas Country Club, Las Vegas Paiute Resort Sun Mountain, Reflection Bay Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas, The Revere at Anthem Golf Club, Rio Secco, Royal Links, Secretariat West at Stallion Mountain Country Club, Shadow Creek, SouthShore Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas Resort, Spanish Trail Country Club, the TPC at Summerlin, the TPC at the Canyons and the Wynn Golf and Country Club. COACHING As a former collegiate and PGA Tour player, Knight has the experience and knowledge to help young men reach their golf potential. A veteran of the game, Knight has almost 40 years experience of playing and coaching the sport. SCHEDULE Knight believes in playing the strongest, most demanding schedule possible. No team in the nation plays a better schedule. Knight seeks variety in courses and competition throughout the nation that best prepares the team to compete for a national title. UNLV flies to all of its tournaments. WEATHER With nearly 300 sunny days a year, the weather in Las Vegas is conducive to year-round golf, allowing practice and competition to continue throughout winter months.

Rebel Golf Foundation

he Rebel Golf Foundation was organized during the 1986-87 academic year to support the UNLV golf team. The goals of the foundation are to support a golf program with a national reputation for athletic excellence, scholarship and personal achievement. Additionally, the foundation strives to completely endow the UNLV golf program so that it will be able to compete at the highest level for many years to come.

2012 Honored Members

ontinuing a tradition born in 1987, the UNLV Rebel Golf Foundation honors an individual, group of individuals or an organization each year for their generous support of the program. The title of “Honored Member” goes to those whose dedication furthers UNLV’s goals of maintaining a championship-caliber team. As Coach Knight calls them, they are those who go above and beyond what a general supporter of the program would.

The Rebels’ 2012 Honored Members are Steve and Wendy Kalb. "Steve and Wendy are longtime members of the Rebel Golf Foundation and have been big supporters of our program for many years," UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight said. "It is a great honor to be able to recognize them for not only their contributions, but their enthusiasm for our golf program. They have also been great supporters and fans of the university over a very long period of time."

Rebel Golf Day Through The Years

eld annually since 1987, Rebel Golf Day is an event designed to bring all members of the Rebel Golf Foundation together with each other and UNLV players, staff and alumni. The festivities are highlighted by a Rebel Scramble golf tournament followed by a banquet that also serves as a team awards ceremony. In addition, each member of the squad is introduced individually as the latest edition of the Rebel golf team is unveiled to supporters every autumn. “Rebel Golf Day is our connection every year with the community,” said Dwaine Knight. “It gives the players a chance to play a few holes with the people who support them year in and year out and offers them an opportunity to get to know them on a more personal basis. “It not only raises money but also awareness and goodwill in the Rebel Golf Family. That connection is so important – you can’t ever lose that tie to the community if you’re going to be an effective program.” Rebel Golf Day is held every November.

COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSON Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 14th season of competition in 2012-13, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on Jan. 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Thompson also has positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada, Reno on July 1, 2012, and San Jose State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawaii also joined the league this year as a football-only member. His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and Comcast to become the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the BCS system fair for all universities. Through its first 13 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 51 bowl games, amassing a 31-20 (.608) all-time record in those contests. Over the last eight seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times and owns the best win percentage in bowl games among the 11 FBS conferences. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

1998 National Champions

May 30, 1998 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - It was a lucky seventh for the UNLV golf team. The top-ranked Rebels, under head coach Dwaine Knight, withstood a final-round rally from Clemson and won their first-ever NCAA men’s golf title by three shots at the University of New Mexico’s Championship Golf Course (par 72, 2,748 yards). It marked only the second team national championship for UNLV in any sport as the men’s basketball team won in 1990. The Rebels, who won their record-breaking seventh tournament of the season, shot a finalround one-over-par 289 and finished the tournament at 34-under-par 1,118, setting the record for the lowest total in NCAA Championships history. The old mark was 23-under par, which was set by Arizona in 1992 and repeated by Stanford in 1994. UNLV also broke the NCAA Championships record for lowest score after the second-round. The Rebels were at 23-under par after the 36-hole cut, eclipsing the old mark set by Stanford in 1994 at 11-under. Knight, who’s best finish before this year at the NCAA Championships was second in 1996,

then failed to make the cut in 1997, led his team to the title in only his 10th try with the Rebels. “This year we have won when we were ahead going into the final round, when we were coming from behind and when we were even,” Knight said. “The experience that we gained during the year really helped today. When you win a lot, you get comfortable with the fact that it will always come down to the final holes. It did today and we were ready.” Knight was also impressed with the way his team battled from the very beginning of the season and persevered. “After not making the cut last year and losing the players we did, for this team to gain the No. 1 spot again, coming in expected to win, and with the pressure, holding on for the victory makes me very proud.” Clemson finished 31-under par in second place, while Georgia Tech was second at 30-under, Oklahoma State was fourth at 25-under and Arizona State rounds out the top five, finishing 22-under par. Freshman James McLean of Minnesota shot a final-round 69 and hung on for the individual championship at 17-under-par 271.

“It’s a big thrill coming over from Australia and win it,” McLean said. “I was only a top-five or ten player there and to win it here (in the United States) means a lot. All of the best players are over here and I came here to play with the best.” With his 17-under, McLean tied the NCAA record held by John Inman (North Carolina, 1984), Phil Mickelson (Arizona State, 1992) and Justin Leonard (Texas, 1994) for lowest tournament total. UNLV junior Chris Berry, who had a nightmare of a tournament in 1996, as he finished dead last, led the Rebels and finished in a tie for second place one shot back at 16-under. “I am so proud of Chris,” Knight said. “For him to comeback and lead us to victory after his previous NCAA performance is just so special.” “One of the things that made me play so well was looking at the scoreboards,” Berry said. “When the team went low in the second round I kept looking at the updates on the board and we kept getting lower and lower. It really fired me up and I just wanted to help the team.” Also tying for second was Stanford’s Joel Kribel, TCU’s J.J. Henry and Clemson’s Charles Warren.

Schutte was on top of the collegiate golf world in 1991.

Mickelson, the U.S. Amateur champion, failed in his bid to join Ben Crenshaw, formerly of Texas, as the only three-time individual champion. The left-hander, one of only three golfers to win a PGA Tour event as an amateur, finished in a five-way tie for fourth at 289. Rounding out UNLV’s scores were Monte Montgomery, 80-7578-70--303; Chris Leon, 77-74-7876--305; Darin Osborne, 80-73-8073--306; and Andrew Raitt, 84-75The NCAA crown was Schutte’s fourth straight win.

That says a lot about the program.” SChUTTe beCAMe FirST rebeL GoLFer iNDUCTeD To UNLV hALL oF FAMe

Warren Schutte was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2004. He was the school’s first men’s individual national champion in any sport and he also holds the honor of being the first-ever Rebel golfer inducted. Former Rebel golfers Chad Campbell and Chris Riley were both inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2008, UNLV's 1998 national championship team was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame and in 2010, Jeremy Anderson entered the Hall.

2004 National Champion

June 4, 2004 UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moore Wins National Championship HOT SPRINGS, Va. -- UNLV junior Ryan Moore won the second individual men's golf national championship in school history as he completed his final round with a 66 at the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship. Playing in a steady, cold rain, Moore, the nation's second-ranked player, won the title by six strokes over Wake Forest's Bill Haas and Arizona's Chris Nallen, ranked No. 1 and No. 4 respectively. "It's hard to put it into words right now," Moore said of his win. "It means a lot. This was the goal at the beginning of the year, just to even get here. So to pull out a victory, it's hard to put it into words right now." "I've played six rounds of golf with Ryan this week, four rounds and two practice rounds, and it was pretty special," said Haas. "He shot a 66 in the final round. I would have had to shoot a 62 just to tie him. So I didn't really have a shot. So my hat's off to him. He beat me. I played my game and he played better." With the victory, Moore brings home UNLV's third national title in men's golf. Warren Schutte won the individual crown in

1991, and the Rebels captured the team title in 1998. "I'm really proud of him," head coach Dwaine Knight said. "I thought it was a fabulous round when he needed it. He's been so consistent all year, and this was another great round under tough conditions." Moore, of Puyallup, Wash., finished the 72-hole tournament at 13-under par. He carded rounds of 67, 70, 64 and 66 at the par-70, 6,679-yard Cascades Course at the Homestead Resort, including 20 birdies and an eagle. "I wasn't worried about anyone else," Moore said. "I was just out there trying to take care of my own business and play the way I knew I could. I knew, with a couple of shots lead, that if I went out and played a solid round, then I'd be virtually uncatchable, especially with the rain and the conditions today. It was that irritating weather, which kind of gets to you after a while. But I wasn't going out there thinking I could shoot 72 or 73 and pull it out. I knew I had to play good with these guys chasing me." In winning his third tournament of the year, Moore becomes the first player since Arizona State's Jim Carter in 1983 to take the NCAA Championship while playing as an individual without his team. The win was not just his third of the year, but his third in his last five tournaments. In fact, the Rebel ace has not finished worse than third since late March. He also claimed the Palmer Award, presented annually to the national champion, and

unsurprisingly earned first-team All-American honors. Along with the honors, Moore also etched his name into the school record books in a few places. With a total score of 267, he broke Chris Berry's school record for low 72-hole score by five strokes. His 69.38 scoring average also shattered the school's single season record of 70.85 held by Jeremy Anderson, and his career scoring average of 71.15 bested Anderson's 72.01 total. He also carded the school's best first, third and final round scores in the NCAA Championship, and his third-round 64 is the lowest total by any Rebel at the national finals.

Moore won the NCAA Championship by six strokes.

In addition to the NCAA title, Moore also won the 2004 U.S. Amateur, U.S. Amateur Public Links, Western Amateur and Sahalee Players Championships. 85

Setting A New Standard

rYAN Moore

The most heralded player in the UNLV golf program’s history, former Rebel golfer Ryan Moore experienced unequaled success at the collegiate and amateur levels beginning with the summer of 2004. Moore’s college career, which ran from 2001-05, was unparalleled, both in terms of his senioryear accomplishments as well as his sustained performance while competing for UNLV. In his senior year alone, he competed in nine college events, winning three times and finishing third in three others. In fact, he never finished lower than sixth place in any of the tournaments he played in. Moore also capped his final year with a fifth-place finish at the 2005 NCAA Championship, an event he won in 2004. His 28-round scoring average of 69.29 was tops in the nation and set the UNLV seasonal record. For his college career, he played in 136 rounds and turned in a scoring average of 70.76. He also placed 13th at the 2005 Masters, earning him low amateur honors and a return trip to Augusta in 2006. Moore’s incredible senior season was rewarded with the recognition of winning every major player of the year honor that is given out in collegiate golf - the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award and the Haskins Award. Moore became just the second UNLV student-athlete to win his respective sport’s national player of the year award - the first was men’s basketball’s Larry Johnson in 1991. Moore also received national attention when he set a new standard in amateur golf in 2004 by winning five major amateur championships, a feat that may never be matched. He captured the U.S. Amateur, the NCAA, the U.S. Amateur Public Links, the Western Amateur and the Sahalee Players Championships to become the first golfer to ever win all five events in the same year. The four-time All-American became just the third UNLV golfer in program history to earn first team honors twice (2004 and 2005). He also captured the Golfstat Cup title in 2004-05, which is awarded annually to the college golfer with the lowest yearly scoring average as was the nation’s top-ranked player for the entire season. His 69.29 was the second lowest seasonal scoring average in NCAA history. Moore was also named the Mountain West Golfer of the Year for the second straight season in 2004-05 and made the All-MW team for the fourth time. He captured UNLV’s Sportsman of the Year award all four of his years at UNLV. Moore had the opportunity to turn professional after his junior season, but chose to return to school for his senior year. He is currently on the PGA Tour and has recorded two victories: the 2009 Wyndham Championship and the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

The 1991-92 Rebels were the school’s first conference championship team. 102

The walker cup

ince 1922, the Walker Cup matches have served as the yardstick for measuring international amateur competition. Named after former USGA President George Herbert Walker, the Walker Cup was contested for the 38th time in the summer of 2003. Special about the 2003 Walker Cup was its inclu inclusion of then-UNLV sophomore Ryan Moore. Moore became just the second Rebel ever selected to the prestigious event. The first Rebel to make an appearance at the Walker Cup was Chris Riley, who played on the U.S. team in 1995 at Royal Porthcrawl Golf Club alongside Tiger Woods. Riley and the American team fell for just the fifth time in the series, 14-10.

NLV continued a growing tradition in 2012 with Derek Ernst's selection to the United States Palmer Cup team. The last Rebel to be selected prior to that was in 2004 when Ryan Moore earned his second selection. Ernst became the fifth Rebel golfer to play in the celebrated tournament, named after the legendary Arnold Palmer. "The Palmer Cup is one of the most prestigious events in college golf, and it says a lot about our team and the UNLV program to be chosen for such an honor," UNLV men's golf head coach Dwaine Knight said. Knight knows first-hand about the opportunity to participate in the event with Palmer Cup credentials of his own. He received one of the highest honors of his career when he was chosen as captain for the United States’ team in the inaugural competition in 1997. "It was a tremendous honor for me personally, and it is a reflection

of the commitment our community has had for the golf program," the 1991 and 1998 National Coach of the Year said. "It is an honor and a privilege to be associated with such an event." Knight wasn’t the lone Rebel at the inaugural event, held at the Palmer-designed Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Fla. Then-senior Ted Oh joined Knight on the U.S. squad that defeated GB&I that year, 19-5. The Americans won all four rounds of the tournament with ease and, with 12 1/2 points needed to win, clinched the championship with a day to play. assis In 2008, then-UNLV assistant coach Andy Bischel served as the U.S. team's assistant coach. Bischel earned the post after being named the 2007 Jan Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year. The U.S. lost the 2008 event, which was played at Glasgow Golf Club Gailes Links in Scotland.

RYDER CUP REBELS

Chad Campbell (left) and Chris Riley (below) have both played in the Ryder Cup for the United States. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, while Riley played in 2004.

The Ryder Cup takes place every other year between teams from Europe and the United States with the venue alternating between courses in the United States and overseas. One of the most prestigious honors that can be bestowed upon a professsional golfer is to be selected to participate in the Ryder Cup, and one of the things that makes the Ryder cup unique lies in the fact that even though it receives a lot of money from sponsors, the winners compete only for the championship cup and not any prize money. Two former Rebel golfers have had the honor of competing in the Ryder Cup for the United States: Chad Campbell and Chris Riley. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, while Riley played in 2004. Europe won the 2004 event at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Township, Mich., and again in 2006 at The K Club in Kildare, Ireland. The United States won in 2008 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.

PRESIDENTS CUP

The Presidents Cup takes place every other year between a team from the United States and an international team representing the rest of the world less Europe. Former Rebel golfer Adam Scott has played in five Presidents Cups as a member of the International Team. He has participated in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011. Just like the Ryder Cup, there is no prize money awarded. The net proceeds are distributed to charities nominated by the players, captains and captains' assistants.

Adam Scott has played in the Presidents Cup five times.

Rebels On The PGA Tour

jeremY anderson It takes little more than a brief glance at the Rebel golf record book before his name jumps off the page. When Jeremy Anderson left UNLV in 2000, he had etched his name atop the list of Rebel greats with records for low round, low 54-hole tournament, single-season stroke average, and career stroke average. A member of UNLV’s 1998 national championship team, he had claimed all of the coveted accolades in collegiate golf, including back-to-back conference player of the year awards and three All-America selections. He demonstrated equal success in the classroom as a model student, three times being tabbed both academic all-conference and Academic All-American before completing the requirements for his bachelor’s degree in business. He was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010. This Rebel star played his way onto the PGA Tour in his first year after graduation, earning his way through the rigorous “Q School.” He held his Tour card for one year, earning nearly $100,000 in 2001. He was still active on both the Nationwide (formerly Buy.com) and Gateway Tours before retiring from professional golf in 2010. Still a Las Vegas resident, the Lake Mary, Fla., native spent 2003 playing on the Gateway Tour in Arizona, where he finished 48th on the money list. His best finish on the Nationwide Tour in 2005 was a tie for ninth at the Oregon Classic presented by Kendall Automotive. His best in 2006 was a tie for eighth at the National Mining Association Pete Dye Classic and for the season, Anderson made 11 cuts in 23 starts with two top-10 finishes. In 2007, Anderson finished second in two tournaments, made 11 cuts in 27 starts and recorded six top-10 finishes. In 2008 he played in 25 events. Anderson's best finish on the PGA Tour was a tie for 23rd at the 2001 Michelob Championship. He is also a member of the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 1998 national champion squad that was inducted in 2008.

chad campBell Arguably the top transfer in UNLV golf history, Chad Campbell came to Las Vegas as a junior-college All-American from Midland College in 1994 and left as one of the most consistent Rebels ever. The big-hitting Texan played every round of every tournament during his two seasons and led the squad with 16 rounds par-or-under in his final campaign. One of two senior leaders in 1995-96 along with Chris Riley, the quiet big man spoke loudly with his clubs for one of the greatest-ever Rebel squads. His 15 career top-20 finishes included helping UNLV charge back from 11 strokes back on the final day of the Golf Digest Collegiate Invitational with Campbell earning medallist honors. That team ultimately finished three strokes behind Arizona State at the 1996 NCAA Championship and posted a then-school-best No. 2 national finish. Campbell, a third-team All-American and a 2006 inductee into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame, earned his degree in hotel administration before turning pro. A 13-time winner on the Hooters Tour, he eventually was the leading money winner and tour MVP three times. In 2001, Campbell became only the third player to be promoted from the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) to the PGA Tour after he won his third event of the season and set the tour record for single-season earnings. Almost overnight, this Texan-turned-Rebel became one of the most feared players on the PGA Tour. He finished the 2002 season with more than $825,000 in earnings and a pair of top-10 showings. After three runner-up finishes the next year, Campbell struck gold with a victory at the 2003 PGA Tour Championship, the final event of the season and a payday worth more than $1 million. He completed his second full year on Tour in 2003, finishing seventh on the money list with almost $4 million in earnings. He has now won four total tournaments - the others: the 2004 Bay Hill Invitational, the 2006 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and the 2007 Viking Classic. Campbell played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup for a third time in 2008 and for his career, he has earned more than $21.2 mil-lion on the PGA Tour.

edward FrYaTT When Ed Fryatt returned to his hometown to play for the Rebels, it marked the launch of the program that would go on to untold success. The Las Vegas native and Nevada high school champion originally enrolled at BYU, but quickly transferred to UNLV a year later. While wearing the Scarlet and Gray, he led the Rebels to three straight NCAA Championship appearances, including an unprecedented fourth-place finish in his first year. A three-time All-American, he won the Big West Conference’s 1993 Player of the Year award after capturing the league’s individual championship. He graduated from UNLV in 1994 with a degree in business management. Following his success at UNLV, he was a mainstay in the professional ranks. Fryatt played on the Nationwide Tour (formerly the Nike Tour) in his first year out of school, earning about $25,000. He earned a living there until 2000, when he battled his way up to exempt status in the big league. Fryatt held his tour card for three years, piling up more than $1 million in earnings. His best finish was a tie for third at the 2000 MCI Classic.

andres gonzales The most recent former Rebel golfer to earn his PGA Tour card is Andres Gonzales, who played at UNLV from 2003-06. He earned his way on to the PGA Tour through Q-School in December of 2010 after playing on a variety of professional tours including the Nationwide and Canadian Tours. Originally from Olympia, Wash., Gonzales turned in a 72.79 career scoring average at UNLV, which ranks 13th in program history. He was a first-team All-Mountain West selection and a third-team All-American his senior year and earned the program's Wilson Award, which is given annually to the squad's top player. As a senior at UNLV, Gonzales won the William H. Tucker Invitational in Albuquerque and he led the Rebels with a 72.08 scoring average, which is the 17th-lowest in program history. His 54-hole total 206 at the Cougar Classic in 2006 tied for the 24th-lowest tournament total ever by a Rebel golfer. Gonzales earned the 2004 Michael Maze Award, which is given every year to the player that best exemplifies the spirit of Rebel golf. Gonzales played in two NCAA championship finals with his best finish coming in 2005 when he tied for eighth. He finished 12th twice at the MW Championship and his best NCAA Regional finish was 15th. On the PGA Tour in 2011, Gonzales played in 21 events, made nine cuts and finished in the top 25 twice. His best finish on Tour is a tie for 16th at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

charleY hoFFman Charley Hoffman made his mark at UNLV as a Rebel golfer from 1995-99. A 1998 honorable mention All-American, the Poway, Calif., native, was an integral part of UNLV’s 1998 national championship in Albuquerque, N.M., as he recorded a top-20 finish by turning in a 283 total, which ranks tied for eighth in program history for best 72-hole score. Hoffman turned in a scoring average of 72.51 during that national championship season in 1997-98 and finished his Rebel career with a 73.54 career scoring average.

skIp kendall The first true success to develop from the Rebel program, Skip Kendall completed his collegiate career just prior to the arrival of Dwaine Knight. After a solid but relatively unheralded career as a collegian, he graduated in 1987 with a degree in business administration. Kendall capped the 1992 season with a sharp performance at the PGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifying tournament, carding four straight sub-par rounds and earning his card. The following year, Kendall played in 32 events, and has spent time on both the PGA and Nationwide Tours since. The Milwaukee, Wisc., native finished in the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list in 2004 for the eighth straight season and earned over $1.2 million in 2004 (his career high), surpassing the $1 million mark in earnings for the second straight season. His best finish in 2005 was a tie for 14th at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship and in 2006 his best was a tie for ninth at the Buick Championship.

BIll lunde A 1998 second-team and 1997 third-team All-American, Bill Lunde was a Rebel golfer from 1993-98. The San Diego, Calif., native was a major part of UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1998 national championship in Albuquerque, N.M., as he finished tied for 15th with a total of 281, which ranks tied for fifth in program history for best 72-hole score.

rYan moore The most heralded player in the UNLV golf program’s history, Ryan Moore experienced unequaled success at the collegiate and amateur levels beginning with the summer of 2004. Moore’s college career, which ran from 2001-05, was unparalleled, both in terms of his senior year accomplishments as well as his sustained performance throughout his career while competing for UNLV. In his senior year alone, he competed in nine college events, winning three times and finishing third in three others. In fact, he never finished lower than sixth place in any of the nine tournaments he played in. Moore also capped his final year with a fifth-place finish at the 2005 NCAA Championship, an event he won in 2004. His 28-round scoring average of 69.29 was tops in the nation and set the UNLV seasonal record. For his college career, he played in 136 rounds and turned in a scoring average of 70.76. He also placed 13th at the 2005 Masters, earning him low amateur honors and a return trip to Augusta in 2006. Moore’s incredible senior season was rewarded with the recognition of winning every major player of the year award that is given out in collegiate golf - the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award and the Haskins Award. Moore became just the second UNLV student-athlete to win his respective sport’s national player of the year award - the first was men’s basketball’s Larry Johnson in 1991. Moore also received national attention when he set a new standard in amateur golf in 2004 by winning five major amateur championships, a feat that may never be matched. He captured the U.S. Amateur, the NCAA, the U.S. Amateur Public Links, the Western Amateur and the Sahalee Players Championships to become the first golfer to ever win all five events in the same year. He had the opportunity to turn pro after his junior season, but decided to return to school. The four-time All-American became just the third UNLV golfer in program history to earn first team honors twice (2004 and 2005). He also captured the Golfstat Cup title in 2004-05, which is awarded annually to the college golfer with the lowest yearly scoring average as was the nation’s top-ranked player for the entire season. His 69.29 was the second lowest seasonal scoring average in NCAA history. Moore was also named the Mountain West Golfer of the Year for the second straight season in 2004-05 and made the All-MW team for the fourth time. He captured UNLV’s Sportsman of the Year award each of his four years at UNLV. Moore recorded four second-place finishes on the PGA Tour (2005 Bell Canadian Open, 2006 Buick Championship, 2007 Memorial and 2008 EDS Byron Nelson Championship) before winning his first PGA Tour event at the 2009 Wyndham Championship. He won again at the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He has a total of six second-place finishes on the PGA Tour, two thirdplace finishes, 35 top-10s and 63 top-25s. He has earned over $13.9 million during his PGA Tour career.

chrIs rIleY Chris Riley left UNLV as perhaps its greatest golfer ever. The skinny kid from California who sported a wide grin from the moment he hit campus in the fall of 1992, ended up turning in a highlight-stuffed career that included various firsts for a Rebel linkster. As the school’s golf program grew in stature during the decade, so did Riley’s game. And consistency was his trademark. Consider that in 1996, he became the first male UNLV athlete ever to be named All-American all four seasons in college. In his career, he placed in the top-20 in 45 of his 59 career college tournaments (76 percent) and was in the top-five an incredible 21 times (36 percent). In fact, of 178 collegiate rounds, Riley carded 84 rounds par-or-under (47 percent). He also finished in the top-10 in six of his 12 career postseason tournaments (50 percent). In May 1996, Riley pulled the double deuce. Boasting a 72.65 career stroke average at UNLV, he captained his final team to a then-school-best second-place finish at the 1996 NCAA Golf Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn. And, maybe most important, Riley capped off his astounding UNLV career by graduating in May of 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. In 2006, he was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame. Riley played on the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) for one year before earning his Tour card at “Q School” in 1998. He went on to tie for seventh in his first Tour event, the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he won more than $75,000. Riley has maintained his tour card since 1999 and has steadily climbed up the money list. In 2003, he finished 23rd on the money list with just over $2 million in earnings. He recorded his first win in 2002 at the Reno-Tahoe Open and in 2004 he played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup. His best finish in 2005 was a tie for 18th at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and in 2006 his best finish of the season was a tie for fifth at the Valero Texas Open. In 2008, he tied for third at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwuakee and in 2009, he tied for seventh at the same event. In 2010, he had three top-10 finishes, including fourth at the Travelers Championship and in 2011, his best was a tie for ninth at the Sony Open in Hawaii. For his career, Riley has earned more than $11.4 million on the PGA Tour.

adam scoTT Although his stint in a Rebel uniform was brief, Adam Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the program is still significant. Scott spent just a year-and-a-half in the Scarlet and Gray before taking his aim on the professional ranks. But in such a short time, he was able to help the Rebels to an NCAA Championship appearance (and sixth-place finish) during an All-America freshman campaign. Scott came to UNLV in 1998 from Hope Island, Australia, and immediately cracked the Rebel lineup. He continued to hone his game at the collegiate level and ended the season sharply, finishing in the top 20 in five straight events to end the year. His 11th-place effort at the national finals earned him honorable mention All-America honors. He was one of three All-Americans returning to the lineup in 1999 when he decided to forego his collegiate eligibility and turn professional in the middle of the 1999-00 season. He needed just eight starts in 2000 to secure his European Tour card. The next season, he opened the year with his first professional win at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Scott has won eight PGA Tour events: the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2003, the 2004 Players Championship, the 2004 Booz Allen Classic, the 2006 THE TOUR Championship, the 2007 Shell Houston Open, the 2008 EDS Byron Nelson Championship, the 2010 Valero Texas Open and the 2011 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. For his career, Scott has earned more than $28.3 million on the PGA Tour. He has played in 197 tournaments, making the cut 154 times. He has nine second-place finishes, seven thirds, 53 top-10s and 89 top-25s. He has recorded eight top-10 finishes at Major PGA Tour events with his best finishes coming at the 2011 Masters and 2012 British Open, both second-place showings.

UNLV

Combining the excitement of an urban location with the charm of a traditional campus, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas offers students a full educational and social experience. Just over five decades old, UNLV has maintained a healthy rate of growth in enrollment, programs and scholastic excellence as part of the eight-component Nevada System of Higher Education. Located in the heart of one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vibrant and dynamic cities, UNLV has matured along with the Las Vegas area. With enrollment more than doubling the last decade, the tremendous growth has meant a flurry of construction resulting in a campus setting boasting academic and athletic facilities second to none. Steadily becoming a traditional residential university, UNLV provides on-campus housing for more than 2,000 students. A variety of student clubs and organizations along with 37 Greek organizations supplement the social development of students. From within its 15 schools and colleges, including the William S. Boyd School of Law, UNLV is also becoming a leading research institution of the West. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scientific, social science, and business programs attract millions of dollars in research grants annually to fund projects in desert biology, nuclear waste transportation, laser physics, public opinion surveys and many others. In addition to traditional student programs, UNLV serves diverse local, national and international communities through its Educational Outreach Division, offering Summer Term, Continuing Education and Distance Education programs enrolling more than 53,000 students annually.

With its Performing Arts Center, the campus is the cultural hub of Southern Nevada. World-class orchestras and soloists, dance and theater arts combine to provide a broad selection of concerts and stage productions. The Barrick Lecture Series and several campus organizations bring noted speakers to the University, and local and visiting artists show their works in the Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery. UNLV has excellent athletic facilities as well, many open for student and public use. Opened in 1957 as the southern regional division of the University of Nevada with a total of 28 students, UNLV now is home to more than 27,000 students coming from every county in Nevada, all 50 U.S. states and 88 countries. Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and the state’s taxpayers. Private donors have played an important role as well. These gifts support new facilities and programs and, most important, provide the scholarship incentives that bring Nevada’s best and brightest student scholars to campus. UNLV operates an on-campus Center for Business and Economic Research, Center for Economic Education, Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies (in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Desert Biology Research Center, Center for Survey Research, Nuclear Waste Transportation Research Center and other research and public-service centers. Offering 108 undergraduate programs and 137 graduate tracts, UNLV graduated a class of 5,500 last year. The University operates on a semester system and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Council of Graduate Schools, the American Council of Education and the Western College Association. All of the University’s academic programs are fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, and many programs have received further accreditation from independent national accreditation bodies.

Smatresk emphasizes UNLV’s role as a first choice institution dedicated to educational access and success for diverse students. Under Smatresk’s direction, UNLV established the Academic Success Center, which is living up to its name by helping students identify the right majors, succeed in their classes, and graduate on time. Student athletes are advised through the center, and are excelling academically. UNLV is a collaborative university that crosses internal and external boundaries. A testament to Smatresk’s vision is UNLV’s partnership with the highly respected Brookings Institution to establish Brookings Mountain West, the national think tank’s first foray this side of the Mississippi. Through this partnership and a commitment to respond to the state’s workforce demands, UNLV is driving research and innovation needed to diversify the region’s economic base and provide critically needed services for a dynamic region. Smatresk is a scientist by training and received his Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1980. Following post-doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Smatresk joined the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) department of biology in 1982. In his 22 years at UTA, he served as chair of biology and later dean of science, until his appointment as the chief academic officer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2004. During his time there, Hawaii’s flagship university entered the ranks of the top 25 federally funded institutions, gained three National Academy of Science members, and received recognition from the Chinese Ministry of Education as a Confucius Institute, an honor shared by only 11 other U.S. institutions. His career at UNLV began in 2007 as executive vice president and provost, where he was responsible for the leadership and administration of all academic and research programs, spanning 15 colleges and two professional schools. President Smatresk has received numerous teaching awards, and his research in cardio respiratory physiology has resulted in more than 50 papers and book chapters and grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. His undergraduate alma mater, Gettysburg College, awarded him its Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award in 2011.

LIVENGOOD

Bringing with him a wealth of experience and the reputation as one of the nation’s top administrators, Jim Livengood was introduced as UNLV’s 11th full-time Director of Athletics on Dec. 17, 2009. He wasted no time getting to work, as less than two weeks later he hired Bobby Hauck as the 10th head coach in Rebel football history. Just three months after that it was announced that a new, state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, the Mendenhall Center, would be built and that stunning addition to the department was dedicated in January 2012. In spring of 2011, Livengood chose Dave Rice to be head coach of the Runnin’ Rebel men’s basketball team and the veteran AD has also overseen the hiring of new coaches in UNLV sports such as baseball, softball and women’s volleyball. This past June, the State Board of Regents approved a new contract for Livengood that will keep him running the department through at least December 2015. Livengood came to UNLV following a successful tenure of more than 15 years at the University of Arizona where he oversaw an athletics program that annually competed for championships not only in the Pac-10 Conference but also at a national level, maintained a high academic

standard for its student-athletes and continually operated its $43 million budget in the black. His fiscal leadership helped Arizona remain one of the lone black-ink athletics programs among a small handful of institutions that rely exclusively on generated funds and do not receive state-appropriated monies. During his time in Tucson, he served as the Pacific-10 Conference president, chair of the Pac-10 Athletic Directors Revenue Sharing Committee and a member of the conference’s Bowl Committee and Basketball Tournament Subcommittee. He also was a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee, the NCAA Fellows program, NACDA President, and chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, on which he served five years. His work at Arizona and its ascension on the national level earned him an Athletic Director of the Year Award from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics in 2006 for Division I-A. Livengood initiated Campaign Arizona, which raised more than $130 million for athletic facility improvements and endowments while the Wildcats maintained a top-25 competitive record in the NACDA Directors’ Cup (formerly Sears Cup), including high rankings of sixth in 1993-94, fourth in 1994-95, seventh in 1995-96, sixth in both 1996-97 and 1997-98 and ninth in 2001-02. That record reflects success throughout Arizona’s broad-based program, highlighted by participation in the 1994 and 2001 NCAA Men’s Final Four and champions of the 1997 NCAA Men’s National Basketball Tournament. Arizona also won the 1994, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Women’s Softball College World Series titles, the 1996 and 2000 NCAA Women’s Golf title and the 2008 men’s and women’s NCAA Swimming Championships. Livengood is a member of the NCAA Fellows Program to mentor new athletic directors, has served as a member of the NCAA Peer Review Team from 1994-99, the NCAA Gender Equity Task Force, and the Women’s Committee on Athletics. He has been a member of the NACDA Preseason Football Games Committee since

He is also a member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association, having served as president of that association in 1998. Livengood spent six years as the Athletics Director at Washington State University from 1988-93 where he developed what is still widely regarded as a model gender equity program. In addition he laid the groundwork for a studentathlete wellness center that is regarded as one of the finest in the nation. Livengood began his administrative career in 1980 as the Associate Director for Development and Public Relations at Washington State before becoming the Athletics Director at Southern Illinois, a position he held until returning to Washington State. Born March 28, 1945, in Walla Walla, Wash., he received his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in 1968 and completed his fifth-year education requirement for teaching certification at Central Washington University in 1972. He taught and served as an assistant football coach and track coach at Moses Lake High School in Washington in 1968-69, and as head football and basketball coach and counselor at Ephrata High School in Washington from 197280 before moving into athletics administration. Jim and his wife, Linda, have two grown children, Michelle, a lawyer in Flagstaff, and Jeremy, who resides in Phoenix. Both children are University of Arizona graduates. Michelle earned her law degree in May 2000 and Jeremy graduated in December1999. The Livengoods are the proud grandparents of four: new grandson Dylan and twins Emma and Isabella (3), born to Michelle and her husband, Jack Murphy, who is the men’s basketball head coach at NAU; and another recent addition, grandson James, born to Jeremy and his wife, Megan, in 2011.

Seven different Rebel sports will be represented during ceremonies this fall as the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2012 will be honored Oct. 12. Six former Rebel standout players, one head coach and a distinguished contributor will join one team in being inducted the night before the Battle for the Fremont Cannon football game between UNLV and Nevada, Reno. Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletics Hall of Fame will now grow to 114 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University five years previous. All classes now enter on a biennial basis. The winningest coach in UNLV tennis history, Fred AlBreChT led the Rebel netters from 1974-83 and compiled a record of 230-80 for a winning percentage of .742. A longtime administrator on campus, Albrecht was called upon to serve as Interim Athletics Director in both 1995 and 2003 during searches for permanent replacements. He retired from UNLV in 2007 after 38 years with a final title of vice president for university and community relations. lorenA diAConesCU is arguably the Rebels women’s swimming program’s most decorated athlete. She won three consecutive Conference Swimmer of the Year awards from 2000-02 while setting school records in six separate events. Diaconescu earned All-America in 2000 and was honorable mention one year later. Winner of eight MW individual crowns as well as seven relay titles, she was also a two-time Olympian for her home country of Romania. The highest-scoring basketball player in UNLV history – men’s or women’s – lindA FrohliCh finished with 2,355 points and a 21.2 PPG average in her dominating hoops career. The native of Oldendorf, Germany, was named USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 1999, AP Honorable Mention All-America as a sophomore and junior and then Third Team as a senior. Those seasons also saw Frohlich win Mountain West Player of the Year honors three straight years from 2000-02 before going on to a pro career in the WNBA and overseas. Entering the Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Contributor is noted Las Vegas artist and illustrator MiKe Miller. During the 1980s, Miller created and named the cartoon man with the long moustache known as “Hey Reb.” Miller was paid a single dollar for his work, which eventually helped UNLV vault to the top spot in college apparel licensing. Still the leading Runnin’ Rebel scorer in history, eddie oWens was the emerging program’s second AllAmerican in men’s basketball when he was tabbed First Team by a pair of outlets as a junior in 1976. A magical se-

nior season saw him star as part of the so-called “Hardway Eight” team that gained fame by setting NCAA records for most points in a season, most 100-point games and most consecutive 100-point games en route to the school’s first Final Four appearance. JACinT sMion turned in a career in the water that rivaled any in school history. The Mountain West Swimmer of the Year three consecutive seasons earned All-America honors at the 2000 NCAA Championships while also being honorable mention in two relays. His fourth All-America finish came in 2002. Simon won 10 conference championships as an individual and one on a relay team and swam for his home nation of Hungary in the 2000 Summer Olympics. AMie sTeWArT was a dominant pitcher for dominant softball program in the mid-1990s. A second team All-America selection as a senior in 1995, her 30-9 mark is still the school record for wins a season. She led her team all the way to the Women’s College World Series and tossed two complete games while finishing with a .95 ERA en route to becoming the only Rebel to be named to a WCWS All-Tournament Team. Arguably the top cornerback in school history, Kevin ThoMAs still holds numerous school and conference defensive records. The first player in school history to start 46 games, Thomas was the first defensive player from UNLV to earn All-America status in 26 years when he was named Third Team by Football News and Fourth Team by Sporting News. After helping his team win the Las Vegas Bowl as a junior, he became the program’s second three-time first team all-conference honoree and he was named the MW Defensive Player of the Year in 2001. The 1984 Unlv FooTBAll TeAM was the first of two in school history to win a conference championship and its 11-2 overall record included a victory over Toledo in the California Bowl. Going undefeated in the PCAA, the talent-rich squad featured the conference Offensive Player of the Year in All-America punter/quarterback Randall Cunningham; the Defensive Player of the Year in lineman Aaron Moog; and the Coach of the Year in Harvey Hyde. Also being honored at the ceremony is the 2012 winner of the Silver Rebel Award -- former UNLV quarterback and longtime ESPN personality Kenny MAyne.
