The importance of following all NCAA rules and regulations is imperative to maintaining the integrity of Wofford College and intercollegiate athletics. We ask all who are associated with the institutions athletics programs to help the College protect the spirit of competition, the athletics eligibility of our student-athletes and the reputation of the College by adhering to the rules and regulations of the NCAA and by contacting the Compliance Office or the NCAA with all questions.

What is a Representative of Athletics Interests (Booster/Donor)? All alumni, friends, and employees of the College are categorized as ‘representatives of athletics interest.’ The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a ‘representative’ or “booster/donor” he/she retains this status forever even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletics program. Furthermore the NCAA states that it is possible for a person to be a representative of more than one institution at the same time. A representative of athletics interest may not: • Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect • Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts • Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off campus • Contact a prospect by telephone or letter • Make special arrangements to entertain a recruit • Provide extra benefits to a prospect, student-athlete or the parents, family and/ or guardians of the prospects or student-athletes

THE HUB CITY
The City’s origins predate the Revolutionary War. Spartanburg was named for a unit of American Revolution forces called the “Spartan Rifles” who helped defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, under the leadership of General Daniel Morgan. The town of Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831 and later as a city in 1880 by the 13 Original States and Tennessee. During this time Spartanburg was booming due in large part to the rapidly expanding textile industry. In the 1870s, Spartanburg became a railroad “hub city,” with mainline railroads extending from Magnolia Street depot in all directions, taking passengers and freight to Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, Asheville, Charlotte and points beyond. As many as 90 trains per day could be seen and heard operating in Spartanburg during the golden age of the American railroad, 190020. During the 1920s, Spartanburg built South Caro lina’s first municipal airport and claimed the state’s first commercial radio station (WSPA). Its leadership in the state was reflected by the election of several residents as governor. Thousands of U.S. soldiers bound for overseas service in World Wars I and II trained at camps in Spartanburg. The post headquarters for Camp Wadsworth (1917-19) was located at the present site of WestGate Mall, and the Camp Croft (1940-45) was located south of the city.

Much of that military reservation has become Croft State Park. After World War II, Spartanburg made a concerted effort to promote its location at the junction of Interstates 85 and 26 to international business. One of the greatest successes of this campaign was the development of the BMW manufacturing center near the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport. Spartanburg’s downtown, which always has been anchored by the campuses of Wofford and Converse Colleges, has been undergoing a major revival since the mid-1990s. In addition to the corporate headquarters for Denny’s, Advance America, QS-1 and several other companies, the city has acquired a magnificant public library, the Marriott Hotel at Renaissance Park and most recently, the Chapman Arts Center and the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson School of Business. The area surrounding Morgan Square gradually is redeveloping with a variety of interesting restaurants and urban apartment-style housing. Throughout the 20th century, textile manufacturing companies formed the backbone of the Spartanburg
economy. The most significant of these companies still in operation is internationally respected Milliken & Company. Blessed by geography and climate as well as by energetic and well-educated citizenry, Spartanburg is emerging as one of the centers of a 21st century metroplex that extends along the South Carolina portion of the I-85 corridor.

REEVES TENNIS CENTER
REEVES TENNIS CENTER
The John E. Reeves Tennis Center serves as the home of the men’s and women’s tennis programs at Wofford College. The facility was named after the late Mr. Reeves who was a valued friend to the Wofford community. A giant in the textile industry, Reeves was superintendent of the Reeves Brothers’ Mill in Woodruff, S.C. He later assumed the duties of an officer and the director of the corporation. In 1967, he was named the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Reeves was a member of the Wofford College Board of Trustees from 1974 through 1979. He served on the finance and co-educational study committees. Under his leadership, the Reeves Foundation was established to support many charitable causes, including The Campaign for Wofford: An Investment in People. Mr. Reeves received many honors, including an honorary doctorate of law degree from Clemson University in 1963 and the doctorate of science degree from Wofford in 1984. He was named the New York Trade’s Textile Man of the Year in 1970. The Reeves Tennis Center stands in honor of the contributions to Wofford and the surrounding communities Reeves made throughout his lifetime. The facility has 11 championship quality courts. It contains men’s and women’s locker rooms, as well as a lounge that enters onto a large viewing deck overlooking the courts. Located adjacent to the middle of the Wofford campus on Evins Street, the Reeves Tennis Center opened in 1992.

In 2018, Hall begins her 6th year as the Wofford women’s head tennis coach. The 2016-17 campaign saw the Terriers match the win total from the previous season with 11. Despite a tough conference schedule the Terriers excelled in non-conference matches picking up 10 wins on the season. In her fourth season, the team continued its steady improvement, finishing with an 11-9 record and 3-4 in the SoCon. Hall coached freshman Cassidy Hicks to a solid freshman season resulting in a All-Freshman selection by the SoCon. Coach Hall helped the team improve to a 9-11 overall record in her third season at the helm. Samantha Russell made the SoCon All-Freshman Team under Hall’s watch and junior Mareli Sanchez earned the ITA Regional Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award. She had two players in Kalli Karas and Sanchez named to the Southern Conference Academic All-Conference Spring Team and eight players named to the Southern Conference Honor Roll. In her second year with the team, Hall led the Terriers to a 6-16 season record. She had four tennis players named to the Southern Conference Honor Roll and two in Audrey Coventry and Mareli Sanchez named to the Spring All-Academic Team. Hall’s leadership also led Coventry to be recognized for her sportsmanship, earning the Southern Conference Sportsmanship Award and the ITA Regional Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award. In her first season at Wofford, Hall finished the season with a 5-17 overall record. She had five tennis players named to the 2013 Southern Conference Spring All-Academic Team and 10 total players named to the 2013 Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll. Prior to Wofford, Hall completed four years at the helm of the UAB women’s tennis program in 2011-12. She was named the Blazers’ head coach on Aug. 22, 2008. Hall’s teams -- in addition to their play on the court -- have attained a high level of success academically, highlighted by the 2011 season in which her squad earned the Conference USA Sport Academic Award as the women’s tennis program with the highest GPA in the league. It was the first time any team other than Rice won the award since its inception with the 2006 season. She also coached Jenny Cape, who became the first Academic All-American in UAB women’s tennis history when she earned second-team honors in 2011. Cape was also a two-time Academic All-District performer and a three-time selection to the C-USA All-Academic Team. Hall’s teams received the NCAA Public Recognition Award in both 2010 and 2011 for being among the top 10 percent of women’s tennis programs in the country in terms of multi-year APR scores. The Blazers have been named an ITA All-Academic Team in each of her three seasons and have had a total of 13 ITA Scholar-Athlete selections in that time. Hall has also coached 24 C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections and five C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal recipients at UAB.

On the court, Hall coached the Blazers to a record of 29-45 in her four years with the program. After a 6-9 mark in her first season in 2009, Hall guided the team to 10 wins in her second season as the Blazers finished 10-11 in 2010. UAB posted a 7-13 record in 2011 and a 6-12 mark in 2012. Hall has coached four players who finished their careers among the top 20 on UAB’s all-time dual-match singles wins list. Cape (39 wins) is 11th on the list, followed by Evelien Strijker (37) in 12th, Paula Alvarez (32) in 17th and Giorgia Romeo (27) in 20th. Strijker finished her career as a two-time All-Conference USA selection, including the 2009 season when she was a third-team honoree under Hall. Hall came to UAB in the fall of 2008 from the University of Wyoming, where she led the women’s tennis program for the previous three seasons. In her final season at Wyoming, Hall guided her team to 11 wins and a first-round victory in the 2008 Mountain West Conference Tournament. The 11 wins matched the most in school history. The 2008 tournament win was also just the second for the Cowgirl program. Hall guided Wyoming to its first MWC Tournament victory just two seasons earlier in her first year with the team. She followed that up in 2007 by coaching Sarah Summerfield to All-MWC First Team honors. Summerfield was just the second Cowgirl ever to earn that distinction. Prior to her appointment at Wyoming, Hall served as an assistant coach at both Virginia Tech, her alma mater, and Washington State. She was at Virginia Tech for the 2003-04 season, including a short stint as the program’s interim head coach. Her responsibilities with the Hokies included coordinating recruiting efforts, organizing practices and assisting with the day-to-day activities of the program.Hall then went to Washington State as an assistant for the 2004-05 campaign. In addition to the responsibilities she held at Virginia Tech, she also handled scheduling and budgeting for the Cougars. Before beginning her coaching career, Hall was a standout as a four-year letterwinner on the women’s tennis team at Virginia Tech from 1999-2003. She was a three-year captain and a nationally ranked singles player during her senior campaign. For her career, she posted a school-record 81 doubles victories while posting 160 total wins to rank second all-time in school history. During her senior season in 2003, Hall was honored with the National Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award. As a player, she was also named Atlantic 10 Co-Rookie of the Year (2000), Atlantic 10 All-Conference (2000) and Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athlete (2003). During her junior season in 2002, Hall won the ITA Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award for the East Region. Hall earned a bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech in 2003 and completed her master’s degree at the school in 2004.

2017-18 Wofford Women’s Tennis A History of Wofford College Tennis Historical Notes: Tennis arose on the Wofford College campus in the fall of 1889. The club consisted of 16 members which included a President, Treasurer, Manager, 3 instructors, and a “keeper of the keys.” The object of this club was to introduce and perpetuate tennis at Wofford. Quickly, the club became more of a school-wide organization consisting of members of the faculty as well as students. Wofford’s first recorded tennis match, held on March 19, 1890, was a 3-1 win over Tryon. By 1920, Wofford Tennis became a team sport. There was no tennis team from 1942-43 to 1945-46 due to World War II. Women’s Tennis: In 1987, Head Coach Deno Trakas founded Wofford women’s tennis as a club sport. In 1993 and 1995, the Wofford women’s teams were ranked in the top 20 nationally.

PHI BETA KAPPA PHI BETA KAPPA At the end of the last academic year, there were approximately 2,000 four-year colleges in the United States. Only 262 of them have the right to induct their graduates into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts honor society. There are five independent Phi Beta Kappa colleges and universities in the Carolinas: Wofford, Davidson, Duke, Furman and Wake Forest. Founded at the College of William and Mary in December 1776, Phi Beta Kappa was the first of the Greek letter fraternities and adopted such rituals as the badge, the secret oath, and the special handclasp from the various secret societies of the day. Phi Beta Kappa, however, was also devoted to the principles of “friendship, morality, and literature (or learning),” and these characteristics gradually attained the greatest emphasis. John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett and Joseph Story, members of the Harvard chapter, are credited with making the fraternity a public literary and honor society for undergraduates in the 1830’s. Women were first admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in 1875 at the University of Vermont. Wofford received its chapter at the 1940 triennial meeting, bringing to fruition more than ten years of work by three Phi Beta Kappa members who were then serving on the faculty: President Henry Nelson Snyder, Dr. David Duncan Wallace, class of 1894, and Dr. John West Harris ’16, a brash and brilliant young English professor not afraid to campaign vigorously in the conviction that his alma mater deserved membership. (Dr. Harris later founded the National Beta Club, which still has its headquarters in Spartanburg). With about 350,000 members across the country, Phi Beta Kappa today sponsors numerous programs to encourage scholarship and learning, including the Phi Beta Kappa Book Awards and the visiting scholar, academic fellowship and leadership programs. For these reasons, Phi Beta Kappa Day at Wofford has institutional significance, as well as being especially memorable for the new members, each of whom will receive the traditional Phi Beta Kappa watch key or pin.
Wendy Rohr ‘04 is the most recent Women’s Tennis Phi Beta Kappa Honoree

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which is in its 97th season of intercollegiate competition in 2017-18, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first postseason college basketball tournament (1921), to tackling the issue of freshman eligibility (1922), to developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pac-12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica and all-district teams. A total of 20 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions, most recently in 2012-13, when former Wofford volleyball player Rachel Woodlee earned the prestigious award.
The conference currently consists of 10 members in six states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 22 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The league added rifle, becoming just the second Division I conference to sponsor the sport, in 2016-17. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first-class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. MEMBERSHIP HISTORY On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.
The Southern Conference office is located in the refurbished Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, less than a mile from the Wofford campus.

Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921, and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league, including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new

league, which began play in 1933. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions, including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools – Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest – departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. A third major shift occurred in 2012-13, when five members announced their departures and three schools were added. College of Charleston announced its decision to leave for the Colonial Athletic Association following the 2012-13 season, while Appalachian State (Sun Belt), Davidson (Atlantic 10), Elon (Colonial) and Georgia Southern (Sun Belt) announced they would depart following the 2013-14 campaign. At the Southern Conference’s 2013 spring meetings in Hilton Head Island, S.C., the league officially extended invitations to former members ETSU and VMI, as well as Mercer, to join the league for the 2014-15 academic year. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 10 institutions and a footprint that spans six states: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Current league members are The Citadel, ETSU, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, VMI, Western Carolina and Wofford.

The board of trustees, led by its Human Resources Committee, has completed its review and have voted to accept the mutual recommendation of the Search Committee and the Human Resources Committee in the naming of Dr. Nayef H. Samhat as the next president of Wofford College.
