GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY Founded in 1889, Georgia College & State University has grown from an initial enrollment of 88 women from within the state to an annual count of more than 6,000 male and female students from all over the world. Georgia College, originally founded as the sister institution to Georgia Tech, is now the designated public liberal arts university for the state of Georgia. Georgia College began as Georgia Normal and Industrial College, offering young women educational opportunities in teaching, office skills and economics. The University has been co-educational since 1967. Georgia College’s College of Arts and Sciences and Schools of Business, Education, and Health Science are fully accredited. The University also distinguishes itself by taking advantage of expanding technology resources such as electronic classrooms, an interlibrary network system, and distance learning centers. Georgia College’s range of degree programs is the broadest in the midstate, with more than 80 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels offered by a highly qualified faculty in a supportive environment. As Georgia’s public liberal arts university , the school is committed to the foundations of the liberal arts education: preparation, adaptation, and an approach to life with a broader perspective. Among its academic achievements, Georgia College was the first senior college in the system to award master’s degrees in business administration and public administration and was also the first to implement admission requirements for completion of the high school College Preparatory Curriculum. In conjunction with the U.S. Air Force at Robins Air Logistics Center, it operates the nation’s only Logistics Education Center, awarding the only bachelor’s and master’s degrees in logistics systems in the country. Georgia College is located in Milledgeville, the antebellum capital of Georgia. The white columns and spacious lawns of the main campus cover several blocks of downtown Milledgeville. The block occupied by the oldest part of the college was Milledgeville’s Penitentiary Square through most of the 19th Century. The peach-colored stucco mansion was home to Georgia’s governors from 1838 to 1868. At the Milledgeville campus, the new complements the old. In the last two decades, the college has restored or renovated many historic structures and adapted them for office and classroom use. A diverse student body, spirited faculty, and dedicated administration study and work in many of the city’s historic houses and buildings.

GEORGIA COLLEGE FACILITIES Georgia College has many fine athletic facilities in which to compete highlighted by the $9 million multipurpose Centennial Center. The Centennial Center, which was completed in the fall of 1989, serves as the home for the Bobcat men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as the offices of the Bobcat athletic department and is located within the historical district of Milledgeville. The completion of the 95,000 square-foot arena guaranteed that the Bobcats would be competing in one of the finest on-campus arenas in the state of Georgia and the southeast. The Center has a seating capacity of 4,071 fixed seats and can accommodate up to 800 additional persons with the arranging of chairs on the floor. It features foldout end zone and upper bleachers and three full size basketball courts. Its primary use is for Bobcat basketball, but it also is excellent for large events such as concerts, conference general sessions or exhibits. In addition, the Centennial Center serves as the home of the nationallyranked Georgia College men’s and women’s tennis teams. Seven lighted laykold surface courts are located just outside of the Centennial Center. The Centennial Center also has a three-lane 1/8-mile walking/running indoor track, an outdoor swimming pool, weight room, four racquetball courts and an athletic training room. The Bobcat baseball, softball and soccer teams compete at the Peeler Athletic Complex. Located minutes from the main campus, the Peeler complex underwent a major facelift in 1992 with the addition of box seats and the renovation of the backstop for the baseball field. The softball field was built in 1990, complete with a scoreboard and bleachers. In 1996 lights were added to both parks, and the complex was dedicated to Mike Peeler, the former athletics director at Georgia College. The baseball field was renamed in honor of John Kurtz, the former coach who put GC baseball on the map. New dugouts and a softball press box were constructed in the fall of 2005 to match the surrounds of the campus residences at Bobcat Village. Women’s soccer was added in 2003 and Bobcat Field was opened in the Fall of 2004 at the Peeler Complex. Both the soccer and softball fields added majestic grandstand seating in the fall of 2009. The golf team competes at multiple courses in the area, including Little Fishing Creek Golf Course, Cuscowilla and Harbor Club to name a few. These venues provide the delicate balance of beauty and challenge every golfer desires.

GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION DR. DOROTHY LELAND - PRESIDENT Dr. Dorothy Leland is the 10th president of Georgia College & State University and the second female president of the university in its 116-year history. She began her tenure at Georgia College on January 1, 2004. Leland came to Georgia College, Georgia’s public liberal arts university, with nearly 20 years of experience in a variety of college and university leadership positions, most recently as vice president at the Boca Raton campus of Florida Atlantic University and professor of philosophy. She also held leadership positions at Purdue University, her alma mater. At Georgia College, she oversees a residential liberal arts campus and two commuter centers with a combined enrollment of more than 6,000 students and almost 800 faculty and staff. Leland combines visionary leadership with a pragmatic focus on finding ways to get things accomplished. At the heart of her vision is for Georgia College to become one of the nation’s very best public liberal arts universities. This demands a focus on academic excellence and innovation – what Leland calls “pillars of distinction.” Additionally, Leland has begun initiatives to strengthen the university’s endowment. She is also placing an added emphasis on retaining students from year-to-year, and is working to increase the geographic, economic and ethnic diversity of incoming classes. As one of the University System of Georgia’s state universities, Georgia College also provides graduate programs to meet area workforce needs. Lelan’s goal is to continue developing the Milledgeville campus as a residential, undergraduate liberal arts college while refocusing graduate and professional education in Macon and Warner Robins. Leland is active in the local community, encouraging economic development partnerships between the city, county and university that will strengthen downtown Milledgeville and create a diversity of businesses there. She is a member of Forward Baldwin and serves on the board of directors for Oconee River Greenway Foundation and the Flannery O’Connor-Andalusia Foundation. Building alumni relations is also a key goal for Leland. She is working with the Alumni Association to strengthen ties and cultivate loyalty to the university, which has been transformed many times, but is returning to its roots as a statewide institution with a strong academic mission. Since coming to Georgia College, Leland has been named to several state boards, including the Georgia Chamber of Commerce board of directors, the Georgia Council on Economics Education board of trustees, the Georgia Department of Corrections Corporate Advisory Board, and the PAGE Foundation board of trustees. Leland also is a member of a number of professional organizations, including American Association of Higher Education, Society for College and University Planning, American Association of University Women and American Philosophical Association. She has written more than 40 publications and made presentations in the field of contemporary continental philosophy, focused on issues related to gender and personal, social and cultural identity. Leland holds a bachelor of arts degree in English, a master of arts degree in American studies, and a doctoral degree in philosophy, all earned at Purdue University.

WENDELL STATON DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Georgia College President Dr. Dorothy Leland and Dr. Bruce Harshbarger, Vice President for Student Affairs are proud to announce the hire of Wendell Staton as Director of Athletics for the 10-sport Division II athletic department. Staton comes to Georgia College from UNC Pembroke, in Pembroke, N.C. where he most recently served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Advancement since 2005. “We're delighted to have Wendell Staton joining us to lead our Athletics program,” said Dr. Harshbarger. “He brings an unusually broad background in collegiate athletics, community leadership and university advancement work, and all of those skills will be important assets that will benefit the future of GCSU Athletics.” Prior to his work in the advancement office at UNCP, he served as the Director of Recreation and Parks in Lumberton, N.C. for four years. Staton worked for UNC Pembroke originally as a coach and lecturer; heading up the golf program, serving as men’s basketball assistant and teaching in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation program from 1996-2002. Staton earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1990 from St. Andrews Presbyterian College, adding a Master’s of Education from Georgia College in 1993. “I would like to thank Dr. Leland for the opportunity to lead the Georgia College and State University Athletic Department,” said Staton. “As an alumnus and former member of the coaching staff, I have great affection for the University and Milledgeville. My family and I are excited about joining the community.” Staton is no stranger to Georgia College athletics, having patrolled the sideline as a men’s basketball graduate assistant coach from 1991-93 under head coach Mark Simons. He also shows intercollegiate coaching for Armstrong Atlantic State University, Elon University and Campbell University on his resume. “Georgia College has been a model of consistency on and off the playing field,” added Staton. “I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, community, student-athletes, and coaches as we strive to continue the success and rich tradition of Bobcat Athletics.” Staton becomes just the sixth Athletic Director in the 40-year history of Georgia College athletics. He couldn’t have taken over at a better time, as the Bobcats are fresh off winning the 2008-09 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Commissioner’s Cup, the all-sports trophy for excellence on the playing field. Georgia College is perennially one of the top academic institutions in the league as well, evidenced by landing 92 student-athletes on the coveted PBC Presidential Honor Roll. All in all, Staton has worked at PBC-member institutions for 16 years. Staton is married to the former Yvette Renaud. Their children are Ellen, age 16, and Charlie, age 14.

PAUL HIGGS

HEAD ATHLETICS TRAINER, ATC Paul Higgs is in his 13th year at Georgia College. He came to the university from Perry Hospital, where he served as athletic trainer for Perry High School. Prior to that, he worked as the athletic trainer at the Sumter Regional Hospital in Americus, Ga., for four years where he was the director of the physical medicine department at the hospital and athletic trainer for Southland Academy. Higgs has also been very involved with the US Olympic Committee's Volunteer Medical Program, with appointments to the medical staff of the 1999 Pan American Games and the 1998 Goodwill Games. The Albany, Ga. native earned his bachelors degree in Sports Medicine from Valdosta State University in 1989 and his masters degree in Health and Physical Education from Georgia Southwestern State University in 1996. He was certified as an athletic trainer by the NATA Board of Certification in 1989. Higgs recently served as President of the Georgia Athletic Trainers Association and recently co-authored a textbook, Perspectives in Athletic Training. Paul and his wife, Karen, live in Milledgeville and have two children, Mary Helen and Matthew.

SPORTS MEDICINE Comprehensive medical care is coordinated for all Bobcat student-athletes under the direction of a team physician and a staff of nationally certified and state licensed athletic trainers. Undergraduate student interns from the athletic training education program assist the professional staff in their duties while gaining valuable handson experience in the allied healthcare field. With a physician referral, the staff is also available to treat Georgia College faculty, staff, and students for their outpatient rehabilitation. The first goal of the program is to help prevent athletic injuries from occurring. Recognizing that some injuries and illnesses are inevitable, the professional staff works under the supervision of the team physician to diagnose those conditions, to provide initial treatment and follow-up care including any rehabilitation, and to counsel students on available treatment options. By providing quality care as early as possible, student-athletes are able to return to the field of play as soon as possible while decreasing their risk of re-injury.

Services in the athletic training room include state of the art modalities such as ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and laser as well as other treatment methods to alleviate pain and swelling, increase strength and flexibility, and decrease risk of re-injury in the athletes treated there. Treatment and rehabilitation take place in the 1,000 square foot athletic training room at the Centennial Center, as well as a smaller satellite facility at West Campus. A member of the athletic training staff is available at every practice and competition for the B o b c a t t e a m s throughout their respective seasons. CONDITIONING The Bobcats have the opportunity to work with a world-class strength and conditioning instructor in Dr. Mike Martino. With support from undergraduate members of the exercise science program, Martino uses his lengthy experience in physiological testing and training methods for Georgia College student-athletes to maximize their bodiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; potential.

GEORGIA COLLEGE ACADEMICS Continually striving for academic excellence, Georgia College has long prided itself as one of the finest institutions of learning in the southeast. In its early years the university was renowned for training teachers; more recently it has grown into the liberal arts university of the University System of Georgia. The institution offers more than 100 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. More than 60 percent of Georgia Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty holds the doctoral degree, and the majority are actively involved in research in their fields. The Bobcat Athletic Department is committed to student-athlete excellence both on and off the playing field. The coaching staffs at Georgia College have committed themselves to recruiting student-athletes who are academically capable and motivated to obtain college degrees. All potential student athletes must be granted admission into the university and cleared through the NCAA Eligibility Clearinghouse. The moment a student-athlete decides Georgia College is the right place to be, the athletic department provides personal support, academic counseling and professional development to ensure that they will get the most of their years wearing the Green and Blue. The Georgia College Athletic Department has set up an academic support program, PASS. The PASS Program, which provides tutoring services to student-athletes, is designed to help and encourage athletes to excel in the classroom. Continuing its tradition of leadership in education, Georgia College is

the first of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universities to phase-in requirements for completion of all college preparatory curriculum requirements before enrollment. Undergraduate course offerings include liberal arts and professional degree programs that provide students with breadth and depth of preparation for their intended careers. All degrees build on a broadly based general education program that includes the humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, and the social sciences. Undergraduate programs offer opportunities for specialization in the arts and sciences and in preprofessional and professional areas including business, education, and nursing. Georgia Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of degree programs is the broadest in the midstate, with 65 undergraduate, 35 graduate and 20 preprofessional programs. The university also provides graduate studies in several specialties of the arts and sciences and in business, education and nursing. Admission is based on criteria specific to each program. These programs are designed to be responsive to the needs of contemporary students. Georgia College boasts of one of the top libraries in middle Georgia. The Russell Library underwent a $19.5 million expansion and renovation to form the GCSU Library and Information Technology Center and added 93,000 square feet to the existing structure. It was re-opened in 2004 and houses more than 180,000 hardbound volumes and subscribes to more than 14,000 print and electronic periodicals.

MILLEDGEVILLE: HOME

The outward quiet beauty of Milledgeville belies the bustling nature of this community of more than 20,000 citizens. Wrapped in southern charm and history, Milledgeville has much to offer. Milledgeville, named for John Milledge, a Revolutionary War veteran, was founded in 1803 by the Georgia legislature to be the permanent capital of the state. It has the distinction of being one of the few cities in the United States that was founded and planned as a capital city. In November 1864, on his march to the sea, Union General William T. Sherman and his troops passed through the city on their way to Savannah. After consultation, Sherman and his generals decided not to destroy the Capitol building and the Governor’s Mansion. In 1868, the capital of Georgia was moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta. Since that time Milledgeville has grown to what it is today, a city located in the heart of Georgia that enjoys its past with an eye on the future. The area has a diversified manufacturing base, producing everything from aerospace products to heat pumps, carpet yarn and worsted wool. Milledgeville is somewhat unique when it comes to economic development. The State of Georgia is the largest employer in the area employing more than 6,000 people, including the faculty and staff of Georgia College & State University.

OF THE

BOBCATS

For recreation, Milledgeville is in the center of it all. Located on the shores of Lake Sinclair, the area offers a variety of aquatic recreation on the 15,330 acre lake which includes fishing, water skiing and boating. Milledgeville also offers two 18-hole championship golf courses, a softball complex, tennis courts and several city parks. Atlanta is less than two hours away. Atlanta has something for everyone including concerts, professional sports, shopping and sight seeing. Atlanta features the Hawks of the National Basketball Association, the Falcons of the National Football League, the Braves of Major League Baseball, and the Thrashers of the National Hockey League. Milledgeville is centrally located in Georgia with easy access to I-20, I16 and I-75. The county sits on U.S. Highway 441, a major north-south artery. The proposed Fall Line Freeway, a major east-west developmental highway, will pass within five miles of downtown Milledgeville. Seaports in Brunswick and Savannah are less than four hours away and rail service is provided by Norfolk Southern and CSX. Air freight and commercial passenger services are available 30 miles to the southwest, in Macon, and 90 miles to the northwest, in Atlanta. Milledgeville is more than Georgia’s Antebellum Capital. It’s the home of the Bobcats.

2010 WOMEN’S TENNIS PREVIEW

The No. 29 Georgia College & State University women's tennis team takes to the court this weekend, and Bobcat fans can use this article as an inside look to the spring 2010 version of one of the most decorated programs in school history. Now entering his 10th season at the helm of Georgia College tennis, head coach Steve Barsby has seen some of the finest years in GCSU women's tennis, amassing a 147-74 record. The 2009 version made an NCAA Tournament appearance for the 15th straight season. The 2010 group will rely on experience, but with a six-player roster, will need key contributions from three freshman for continued success. "We're going to need every player to compete to their fullest," said Barsby. "We're going to fight and compete to find five wins someplace in the lineup, they'll come from different spots each match." SENIOR: Diane Danna (Paris, France) returns for her third season, and will take over the top spot. "Diane has never looked better at this point in the year," said Barsby. She went 11-8 a season ago at second singles, and will be a solid competitor in the always-tough Peach Belt Conference (PBC). JUNIOR: Now in her third season in a Bobcat uniform, Bertille Lion (Lyon, France) will also have an increased role, competing for a middle-order spot. She was 9-8 in singles bouts in 2009, but has made great strides in her game and her

conditioning efforts since arriving on the Georgia College campus. SOPHOMORE: Adriana Acuna (Peachtree City, Ga.) joined the squad for the spring last year. Acuna battled to a 2-14 mark, and will again fight for those allimportant team points at the bottom portion of the order. FRESHMEN: The rookie class features three individuals that will factor heavily in the win-loss record for Georgia College in 2010. Kayla Barksdale (Martinez, Ga.) will compete in the middle-to-high portion of the order, and has the potential to win plenty of games for Georgia College. An All-Region performer at Lakeside High, Barksdale has the potential to be one of the best Georgia-born players in program history, according to Barsby. Linda Mosa (Stockholm, Sweden) is a talented competitor focused on an impact in the middle to bottom portion of the lineup. After a short fall season, Mosa will be given plenty of chances to play up to her potential in the spring. A region and state champion in high school at St. Pius X, Michelle Lingner (Dunwoody, Ga.) had a strong fall season, nabbing a ‘C' Flight singles and ‘B' doubles title at the annual GCSU Windstream Women's Fall Championships. Lingner has the skill set to pick up wins in the bottom third of the order. The doubles pairings are very much up for grabs, with Lingner and Barksdale teaming for a fall tournament title, and Danna and Lion having the experience, teaming together in 2009.

2010 MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TENNIS PREVIEW

2009 was arguably the best season in Georgia College men's tennis history, and 10th year head coach Steve Barsby has the hardware to show it. The Bobcats brought home their first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship, and Barsby was selected the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II Men's Coach of the Year as well as PBC Men's Coach of the Year.

Nucci was 6-4 in 2009, and the lefty gives opponents a different matchup. He competed in the fifth slot. "Nucci is obviously a talented tennis player," said Barsby. "He's battled injuries in his time here, but when he's in the lineup, he's a competitor." SOPHOMORES:

"Max forces his opponents to make mistakes," said FRESHMEN: Barsby. "His will to win is unmatched. He is fundamentally strong and has a motor that won't quit." Beliankou went 15-4 last year competing mainly at fourth singles, and may have to move up a slot or two. He had the team's biggest victory a year ago, edging Armstrong Atlantic State University's No. 21 Tim Johanssen in a three-set marathon. The victory gave the Bobcats a 5-4 win, and just enough space in front of the Pirates to pick up GCSU's first PBC title.

Three talented newcomers are featured on the 2010 roster, all looking to crack the top six.

Joining the team in the spring semester were Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden), Johan Wadstein (Helsingborg, Sweden) and Tyler Franks (Eatonton, Ga.). Andersson sports a very strong fundamental game, while Wadstein is a bit more flashy, playing aggressively and trying to utilize the entire court to his advantage. Wadstein finished third at the under-18 nationals in Sweden. Both Casagrande is a big hitter with plenty of experience. men will factor in near the top of the lineup. Franks, He went 5-7 overall with a 3-2 mark in conference another Georgia player, has "been quite impressive in the matches in 2009.

HEAD COACH STEVE BARSBY The 2009 ITA Division II Men's Tennis Coach of the Year, Steve Barsby is in his 10th year as the head coach of the Georgia College men's and women's tennis programs. Barsby is coming off his best season as a men's coach, taking the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Men's Coach of the Year as well, leading his squad to an 18-4 overall record with a perfect 7-0 mark in conference play for the first PBC Men's Tennis title in school history. A major highlight of the season came when Georgia College defeated then-No. 1 Armstrong Atlantic during the regular season 5-4. Barsby was named the PBC Men's Tennis Coach of the Year in 2005 after coaching the Bobcats to an 18-7 overall record, 6-2 mark in the PBC, and their second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE INFORMATION The National Collegiate Athletics Association is the governing body for all universities and colleges in the Division I and II classifications which includes Georgia College. In order for a student-athlete to attend a Division I or II school he ore she must meet certain criteria before being permitted into an academic institution to compete athletically. The following guidelines are the general requirements that must be met: • If you want to practice or play your freshman year at an NCAA Division I or II school, you must meet the requirements of NCAA Bylaw 14.3, commonly known as “Prop 48”. If you’re first entering college in the 19992000 academic year, you’re required to: • Graduate from high school • Have a grade-point average of 2.000 (based on a maximum 4.000) in a successfully completed core curriculum of at least 13 academic courses. This core curriculum includes at least three years in English, two in math, two in social science, and two in natural or physical science which includes at least one laboratory class if offered by your high school and two additional courses in English, math or natural or physical science and two additional academic courses. • Have a 700 combined score on the SAT verbal and math sections if taken before April 1, 1996 or an 820 on the SAT if taken after April 1, 1996 or a 17 composite score on the ACT (if taken on or after October 28, 1989). In Division II, you must achieve the minimum required SAT or ACT score before your first full-time college enrollment. In both divisions, your test scores must be achieved under national drug testing conditions on a national testing date. Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse On August 1, 1994, a central clearinghouse began certifying your athletics eligibility for Divisions I and II. Certification: If you intend to participate in Division II athletics as a freshman, you must register and be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Clearinghouse registration materials: Your counselors can obtain registration materials, at no cost, by calling the clearinghouse at (319)337-1492. Registration process: Your counselors should provide you with a student-release form and a red brochure titled, “Making Sure You

Are Eligible to Participate in College Sports”. In order to be registered with the clearinghouse, you must complete the student-release form and mail the top (white copy) of the form to the clearinghouse along with the $18 registration fee. After graduation and before the school closes for the summer, your school also must send the clearinghouse a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation. Fee Waivers: High school counselors may waive the clearinghouse fee if you have previously qualified for and received a waiver of the ACT or SAT fee. Test Scores: To be certified, you must also submit your SAT or ACT scores to the clearinghouse. You can send your score directly to the clearinghouse by marking code 9999 as one of the institutions to receive your scores on your ACT or SAT registration form or by submitting a request for an “Additional Score Report” to the appropriate testing agency. Form 48-H: Your high school must annually file one form 48-H with the clearinghouse that lists your school’s core courses that meet NCAA requirements. Without form 48H for the current academic year, you cannot be certified as eligible. Two-year College Transfers to GCSU A transfer student from a two-year college who was a high school qualifier is eligible at Georgia College for competition during the first academic year in residence only if the student has: • graduated from the two-year college or • presented a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter hours of transferable credit with a cumulative minimum grade-point average of 2.000 and spent at least two semesters or three quarters in residence at the two-year college excluding summer sessions. A transfer student from a two-year college who was not a qualifier is eligible at GCSU for practice and competition during the first academic year only if the student has attended a two- year college as a full-time student for at least two semesters or three quarters and: • graduated from the two-year college or • presented a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter hours of transferable degree credit with a cumulative minimum grade-point average of 2.000. GCSU’s two-year transfer requirements exceed the current requirements of the NCAA.

PEACH BELT CONFERENCE Now entering its 20th year of existence in 2009-10, the Peach Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II conferences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which continues to this day with 28 national championships and 25 national finalist Starting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 13 championship sports with the addition of women’s golf in the fall of 2009. The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and begin play in fall 1990. The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the honor by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf championships the Cougars own. One year later, the Lander men's tennis team began its record-breaking run of eight straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men's golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06 while AASU women's tennis has captured four titles overall. The 2008-09 season was among the conference’s most memorable. The Armstrong Atlantic State men’s and women’s tennis teams both won their respective national championships – for the second year in a row; a feat only done once before in college tennis. In addition, the Augusta State men’s basketball team became the first conference program to make back-to-back trips to the NCAA Elite Eight, Armstrong Atlantic became the first PBC volleyball team ever to advance to the Elite Eight and the North Georgia softball team was ranked #1 in the nation and reached the World Series. The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic State University, Columbus State University, Francis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000. For 2009-10, the Peach Belt has grown once again with the addition of the University of Montevallo and Flagler College, giving the PBC 13 members, the most the league has ever had. The addition of the two schools returns the PBC to the state of Florida and expands the league into Alabama for the first time. David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunk replaced Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its second era begins. Dr. David Potter, president of North Georgia College & State University, returns as the president of the Peach Belt in 2009-10. The conference currently holds championships in 13 sports, six for men and seven for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf.
