Jaguar Field

LOCATION

In the spring of 2007, the inaugural University of South Alabama softball team opened the gates to its new facility, Jaguar Field. The Jags played their first home game in the stadium on February 24, 2007, defeating Grambling State 13-1 in five innings. The University of South Alabama softball fieldhouse is a $1.2 million facility which was completed in February 2009. The 8,800 square-foot building houses locker rooms for players and coaches, and features a player lounge, showers, conference room, three coaches offices, training room, and equipment and laundry room. A state-of-the-art hitting facility was completed prior to the 2014 season, and a new press box and concession stand was completed near the end of the season.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES The seeds for the tournament shall be determined based on each team’s regularseason conference finish. In the event of a tie for a particular seed, the seed will be determined as follows: TWO TEAMS (1) - If one team has defeated the other team a greater number of times, that team shall be awarded the higher-seeded position.

PAST SUN BELT TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS 2000 UL Lafayette 2001 UL Lafayette 2002 UL Lafayette 2003 UL Lafayette 2004 UL Lafayette 2005 UL Lafayette 2006 UL Lafayette 2007 Florida Atlantic 2008 UL Lafayette 2009 UL Lafayette 2010 UL Lafayette 2011 UL Lafayette 2012 South Alabama 2013 South Alabama 2014 UL Lafayette 2015 South Alabama

(2) - If the tied teams split games, the higher position will be awarded to the team that has the best won-loss record against the highest-seeded team not involved in the tie. (3) - If each team has the same record against the highest seeded team not involved in the tie, then the won-loss records against the next highest seeded team not involved in the tie would be considered and so on down the line until the tie is broken. (4) - If the records are the same against all teams, then the seeded position would be determined by a toss of the coin by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner. THREE TEAMS (1) - In the event of a three-way tie, the won-loss record of the tied teams against each other is first considered. (2) - If the teams are still tied, the team’s records against the next highest-seeded team after the three-way tie is considered and so forth until the tie is broken. (3) - If there is still a tie, the seeded position of the teams will be determined by a draw conducted by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner. NOTE: For multiple ties larger than a three-way tie, the same procedure will be applied as used to break a three-way tie; and for all multiple ties, the tie is broken by first deciding the highest-seeded team involved in the tie before deciding other seeding positions.

Sun Belt Conference - 7


Commissioner Karl Benson Since being named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on February 16, 2012, Karl Benson has helped reinvigorate the Sun Belt with his optimism, energy and enthusiasm. His vigor and forward thinking have often been called upon during his tenure – perhaps best exemplified when he hit the ground running in the spring of 2012. Benson quickly set the tone for the future of the Sun Belt Conference by adding Georgia State, UT Arlington and Texas State to the league after only being in his post for several weeks. In May of 2012 Benson had begun to further shape the Sun Belt Conference by promoting the league’s rebranding efforts. Sure enough only a year later, the Sun Belt had unveiled a new logo and new mantra “Together We Rise” - that is in line with the optimistic attitude that Benson has become so well-known for. Further solidifying the place of the Sun Belt Conference, Benson helped lead the league to the additions of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State as football playing members. All four announcements took place throughout the course of the day on March 27, 2013. In addition to strengthening the league through membership additions and rebranding efforts, Benson has been able to secure new homes for Sun Belt teams in the football postseason. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001.

8 - Sun Belt Conference

Benson served on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002 and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 197984. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson is also a member of the Spokane Falls and Fort Steilacoom Halls of Fame. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessica, 23, a graduate of the University of Southern California and current Sports Anchor/Reporter for KNDU-TV - a NBC affiliate television station based in Southeastern Washington.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY Georgia Southern University offers more than 100 academic majors in a comprehensive array of baccalaureate degrees and selected master’s and doctoral programs. The University has earned a reputation for providing all of the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller college. In 2011, Georgia Southern was named the fourth most popular university in the country in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Top 20 Most Popular Universities.” One of the top choices in Georgia for new freshmen, including HOPE Scholars, Georgia Southern enrolls an increasingly selective student body representing the United States and nearly 100 nations. The nearly 700 acre park-like campus continues an era of capital construction that has opened new facilities for colleges and academic programs, student recreation and development, university housing, athletics, and public service. The learning environment is enhanced by a museum of cultural and natural history, a botanical garden, a unique wildlife education and raptor center, a performing arts center, the Center for Art and Theatre, and a continuing education and conference center. The campus is located in Statesboro, a classic Main Street community near historic Savannah and Hilton Head Island. Notable Alumni: Daniel Cathy, President Chick-Fil-A; Tony Townley, co-founder of Zaxby’s Restaurant; Hala Moddelmog, President of Arby’s; Luke Bryan, Country Music Singer; Mike Davis, Executive Director, USGA.

Head Coach Annie Smith Coach Smith’s tenure in Statesboro has taken the Eagle Softball Program to new heights with two SoCon Regular Season Championships and two SoCon Tournament Championships as well as overseeing the transition to the Sun Belt Conference in Smith’s four seasons. During her tenure, Smith has advanced to the NCAA Tournament twice (2012 and 2013) as the Eagles have quickly made a name for themselves within the regional and national landscape. The 2015 season saw Georgia Southern move from the SoCon into the Sun Belt Conference. Smith ended the 2015 campaign with an overall career record of 122-110. The season prior, she became the fastest coach in Georgia Southern history to reach 100 career wins on April 5, 2014 when the Eagles posted a 4-0 win against App State. Smith joined Georgia Southern with 16 years of experience as a collegiate assistant coach, serving at Missouri for six seasons before heading to Mississippi State for 9 years, working with head coach Jay Miller at both schools, handling all aspects of the program. In 2006, Smith was promoted to Associate Head Coach. Under the tutelage of Miller, Smith worked with some of the nation’s best softball players including seven NFCA All-Americans, a two-time SEC Players of the Year, two SEC Freshmen of the Year, 14 All-SEC selections, 31 NFCA All-Region honorees and three USA Softball National Team members. Their student-athletes succeeded off the field as well, earning 71 NFCA All-America Scholar Athlete selections and a pair of CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic Athletes of the Year. As an assistant coach, Smith reached the postseason eight times with Mississippi State and Missouri. In 1997 Missouri reached the postseason as Big XII Conference Regular Season and Tournament Champions. In addition to her abilities as a softball coach, Smith is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. She is also a board member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association since 2008, and served as the Assistant Coaches Representative and leader of the Assistant Coaches Caucus. A player at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, Smith received her Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Psychology in 1995. While at Missouri, she completed her coursework for a Masters of Education degree in Health and Exercise Sciences with an emphasis in Sports Psychology in 2002.

Head Coach Roger Kincaid Roger Kincaid has spent five seasons as the head coach of the Georgia State softball team. While leading the program, Kincaid has guided the Panthers to a record of 178110 (.618), including a 67-39 mark (.632) in conference play. Kincaid has posted 30 or more wins in each of his first five seasons, including four with 35 or more wins. The Panthers shattered nearly every offensive record in 2015 as GSU finished No. 42 in the RPI standings, best in school history. Kincaid saw Ivie Drake receive NFCA All-America honors, five of his student-athletes named NFCA All-Region and seven named All-Sun Belt. Drake was also named a finalist for the NFCA Freshman of the Year. 13 student-athletes have been named to the NFCA all-region team since 2011. In 2008, Catherine Lee became the first Panther to earn first-team honors, followed by Paige Nowacki in 2012 and Kaitlyn Medlam in 2013. McCall Langford, Callie Alford (twice) and Jessica Clifton were named to the second team. The five Panthers named all-region in 2015 was most in a single season. GSU only had two individuals make all-region teams prior to 2011. Kincaid took over the program on an interim basis in February 2011 after long-time head coach Bob Heck stepped down after 24 years of coaching Panther softball. Kincaid was officially promoted to permanent head coach of the program in July 2011. A member of the GSU staff since 2008, Kincaid served two-plus seasons as the team’s top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator before his promotion. Before coming to Georgia State, Kincaid spent 12 years coaching high school and travel softball teams in the Atlanta area. He was one of the founders of the Georgia Xtreme Softball Organization, which now consists of six teams, including the Xtreme Mavericks, which Kincaid previously managed. His last stop before GSU was at Union Grove High School in McDonough, Ga., where he worked under Brian DeBerry as varsity softball community coach. A native of Decatur, Ga., Kincaid played football at Georgia, where he was a member of the Bulldogs’ 1980 national championship team, learning from coaches such as Vince Dooley, Erk Russell and Bill Lewis. He earned his degree in business management from Georgia in 1987. Kincaid currently resides in McDonough, Ga., with his wife Becky.

WARHAWKS

THE As part of the ULM Athletics Academic Improvement Plan, the athletic department recently added new staff, increased tutoring opportunities, improved the administrative technology and expanded the supervised study program.

EXPERIENCE

Continuing its commitment to academic excellence, ULM opened the doors to the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center for the 2008-09 school year. The center is an academic-orientented building containing a computer lab, individual and group study rooms and counseling areas/ ULM recently honored the first 66-person class in the “Maroon and Gold Society”, which is an honors program for ULM student-athletes based on their academic success. Career counseling and internship opportunities are available to student-athletes and all students through the ULM Office of Career Connections. Career Connections hosts career fairs, conducts individual sessions and offers workshops on various related topics. The mission of the ULM Student Success Center (SSC) is to encourage and assist students in the exploration of their interests, the pursuit of their goals, and the development of their intellectual knowledge and skills as they strive to reach their full potential. UL Monroe also has four athletic academic counselor positions including one coordinator of academic counseling. There are also many academic advisers who serve the entire student population including student-athletes. Athletic academic counselors do not advise for coursework; they “pre-advise.” The athletic academic counselors also perform several functions specific to student-athletes, including individual academic counseling, working with the coaching staffs of assigned teams, tracking continuing eligibility and completing Prospective Student Athlete evaluation.

UL Monroe student-athletes utilize the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center for academic related activities as well as career planning.

In total, $4,389,996 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 286 student-athletes. Of that, $1,665,310 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 91 football student-athletes. In the 2013-14 academic year alone $400,329 was given to 194 student-athletes from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF).

Notably, the Warhawk men’s basketball team recovered from its APR penalty and earned the Sun Belt Conference Best GPA award for 2013-14. The team also earned two consecutive Team Academic Excellence Awards from the National Association of Basketball Coaches in 2013 and 2014.

In 14 years at the helm of the Texas State softball program, head coach Ricci Woodard has guided her team to a 484-319-1 record, 10 conference championships and five NCAA Regional Championship appearances. The 2014 season brought continued change for Woodard and the Texas State softball team as the Bobcats were new members of the Sun Belt Conference, their third conference in as many seasons. Texas State finished with a fifth place finish in the standings after earning key victories such as taking two out of three from then-ranked No. 11 South Alabama. Four Bobcats were recognized on the SBC All-Conference Second-Team at the end of the season. Also in 2014, Rayn House and Courtney Harris became the first Bobcats since the 2012 season to earn NFCA Division I All-Region Second-Team honors for the Central Region. It was also the first time since 2010 that Texas State had two players chosen to a team. House finished her two-year Bobcat career in the top-10 in wins, shutouts, and strikeouts. Woodard has had three former players play in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league. They are Nicole Neuerburg, Kristen Zaleski and Alex Newton. Zaleski, was named the 2005 NPF Most Valuable Player. Prior to coaching her current post with Texas State, Woodard served as an assistant coach at the University of Oregon for four seasons. In her first collegiate coaching experience, Woodard helped lead the Ducks to three consecutive national top 25 finishes and three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Regional Championships. Woodard began her coaching career working with high school teams. Prior to becoming a Duck, she worked as head coach at Midland (TX) High School. The Bulldogs won a district title for the first time in school history under Woodard’s guidance. As a player, Woodard played infield at Central Arizona Junior College, where she served as team captain. She also played at New Mexico State and graduated with a B.S. in education in 1991. Woodard played high school ball at Carlsbad (N.M.) High School, where her team won three New Mexico High School State Championships during her four years. Woodard has two sons, Joey and Alex.

Head Coach Beth Mullins Sun Belt Co-Coach of the Year, Beth Mullins, begins her second season as Troy’s head softball coach. In the 2015 season, she led the Trojans to a 3223 record, including a 14-9 Sun Belt record and a fourth place finish in the conference. She is the first coach in program history to defeat top-10 teams in back-to-back games and has led the Trojans to the most wins over the past five seasons, including victories over three top-25 opponents. Mullins finished her third season as an assistant coach at Mississippi State before coming to Troy in 2015 and has previous coaching stops at Western Kentucky, UAB and Georgia Southern following an all-conference playing career at UAB. Mullins inherited a newly renovated Troy Softball Complex that underwent a $3 million renovation prior to the 2014 season. The field was lowered to improve sight lines and the outfield was replaced with artificial grass. The press box was also updated to include offices, a media area with press box and an expanded concessions area, as well as new official locker rooms. Also in the renovation was the construction of the Dodds Center, a state-ofthe-art hitting facility. The 8,000 square-foot facility houses a player locker room, player lounge, athletic training room and hitting and pitching areas. Throughout her nine-year coaching career, Mullins’ teams have advanced to five NCAA Tournaments, including all three seasons at Mississippi State. Additionally, 13 of her players have earned NFCA All-Region honors, 12 have earned all-conference distinction and one was named USA National Player of the Week. A native of Fairhope, Ala., Mullins worked with Mississippi State’s outfielders and served as the hitting coach. Additionally, Mullins handled the organization and execution of the MSU Softball Clinics and aided in Mississippi State’s recruiting efforts. A starter for the UAB Blazers from 2001-04, Mullins was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team. As a sophomore in 2002, she led the team in RBIs (31) and walks (17) as the Blazers won a then-program-best 39 games. During her junior campaign in 2003, Mullins led the team in home runs (five) and walks (16).
