UNC Asheville’s Intercollegiate Athletics Program reflects the attitudes and values underlying the University’s overall mission: academic excellence, diversity, equity, integrity, service, and accomplishment. The UNC Asheville athletics program contributes to this liberal arts culture in two ways.

Accordingly, the athletics program encourages an atmosphere of respect for self and others through the development of ethical conduct, sportsmanship, leadership, and citizenship and provides equitable opportunities for all students and staff, including women, minorities and indivduals of all sexual identities. Second, the program provides an additional campus experience for capable students to grow and develop academically, personally, socially, and athletically. This experience promotes institutional commitment and pride on the part of students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

SECONDARY ATHLETICS LOGOS PRIMARY ATHLETICS LOGO

u Bulldogs Beginning New Era Under Mennell Armed with a new coach and a new vision, the UNC Asheville men’s soccer team is ready for its first season under head coach Mathes Mennell this fall. The Bulldogs enter the 2015 campaign with 12 new faces on the 26-man roster, with seven freshmen signees coming to Asheville along with five transfers. It will not be an easy task for Asheville with just six home contests on their 20-game schedule, but Mennell and his squad are ready for the challenge. Asheville is coming off of a 5-9-3 season, finishing sixth in the Big South Conference with a 3-4-2 conference record. The Bulldogs fell to High Point 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the Big South Tournament to end last season. Hired back in January, Mennell had the advantage of going through the spring training season with his returning players, which allowed him the opportunity to gauge his roster and begin implementing his style of football.

controls possession of the ball and the game while dictating the tempo on the pitch. While some components of prior Asheville teams are now gone, Mennell sees plenty of talent and ability to play his style on the current roster. The head coach expects the Bulldogs to “match the play of the past” or higher with his current stable of goalkeepers, while the midfield is also wide open for Asheville heading into the season, as “everyone in the mix for playing time.” While the Asheville midfield features several players that are “very good and have the ability to hold down the middle of the field in different sets and control pace,” the Bulldogs’ biggest question mark may be at the forward position. Mennell says the roster features “capable guys who know how to score,” but he is unsure of who will emerge as a key goal scorer as the season progresses. The road-heavy schedule may look tough to those on the outside, Mennell sees great balance throughout the campaign.

“I am excited about this group. I think we have the foundations of something good,” Mennell said about his team. “One of the focuses this spring was implementing a certain style of play and I am very confident after spending the spring with this group about what we can do moving forward.”

“I think we have a lot of good games on the schedule and I think that will be good for our guys overall,” Mennell said of a non-conference slate that features an early test at traditional national powerhouse Wake Forest as well as trips to take on William & Mary, James Madision and a pair of contests in Vermont.

After their non-conference road travels, the Traveling Bulldogs will become very accustomed to playing on their home pitch of Greenwood Field in the latter half of the season. Five of Asheville’s nine Big South Conference matchups will be played on their own turf, something Mennell says can’t be understated.

“I don’t think we are behind or in rebuilding mode.”

The first-year head coach held no punches when talking about his vision for the Bulldog program. “The expectation and the standard will be to play well and give ourselves a chance in every contest. We have to change the mind set and the culture and expect to win games,” Mennell stated. “We respect the conference and the teams in it, but we expect to compete and win Big South Championships and go to the NCAA Tournament.”

Mennell wants his Bulldog team to play a brand of football that

“The Big South is a tough, solid conference with a lot of good teams that are returning depth. What is nice for us is that before conference play, we are going to be able to grow and come together as a team,” he stated. “We hope to learn and have positive experiences to draw on as we get into conference play.”

u UNC ASHEVILLE HALL OF FAME

UNC Asheville’s Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 2003 and has had 12 classes inducted. A total of 40 athletes and administrators have been enshrined. Of those 40 inductees, four are former men’s soccer players: Patrick Britz, Ulrich Dietrich, Mike Roach and Aytekin Yildiz.

The Big South Conference For more than 30 years, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” On April 24, 1983, Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South and less than four months later on August 21, the Big South Conference was formed when Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop committed to the new League. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid -- an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 18 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to unprecedented new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997 and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Conference membership with double-digit member institutions for six consecutive years. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 800 annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 325 All-Americans, has reached the quarterfinals in the FCS Playoffs as well as the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball; has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf; had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship eight times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection; had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals; had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country; had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice; has received two at-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006; has had nine NFL Draft picks; and has had two institutions finish in the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007). In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an atlarge participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the second time in three years

as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reached the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2 0 1 0 - 1 1 , Chelanga won two more NCAA N a t i o n a l Championships (cross country, o u t d o o r 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well as a record 42 All-Americans. In 2012-13, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans. The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason game for the first time since 2005, had a Leaguerecord four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play. This past season produced the League’s first FCS playoff quarterfinalist, had four postseason wins in men’s basketball, had its second women’s golf team qualify for nationals, and tied the Conference-record with 13 Academic All-Americans. Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the U.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacs qualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams played in the NBA from 2010-14, Campbell’s Eric Griffin signed with the Dallas Mavericks this past summer, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won nine PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007. Two former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2014 (Eddie Butler and Tommy La Stella), while Avery Warley became the third Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA three years ago. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. As part of the League’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2013-14, All-Decade Teams were recognized for the first time in each sport. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past five years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League has had more than 120 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last five years.
