2008-2009 Women’s Basketball

Season Outlook The 2008-2009 Newberry College women’s basketball season is fast approaching and the scarlet and gray are getting set for what should be an electrifying season. This year the team will be competing for its third South Atlantic Conference Tournament title in four years and hope to make their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in five years. Last season ended on a sour note as Newberry was knocked out of the SAC Tournament by the top seeded Tusculum Pioneers. This season Newberry has brought in Coach Sean Page to take the team back to the top of the SAC.

NEW COACHES Page comes to Newberry from Brescia University where he took a team that went 1-29 in the 2005-06 season to 20-14 in one season, the biggest turnaround in college basketball that season. At Newberry, Page plans on continuing the program’s success in the conference and wants to give the team a chance to compete for the NCAA National Championship. Next to Page on the sidelines this season will be new assistant coach Vern Robateau. Robateau has a wealth of coaching and playing experience all over the globe. He has worked as an assistant coach of the Brisbane Bullets of Australia’s NBL and has played professionally in countries such as Germany, Belgium, Malaysia and Australia.

RETURNING GUARDS This season’s roster is full of experienced players ready to make another run at a SAC championship. 10 players are returning to Newberry including seven seniors, four of which have NCAA tournament experience. “We will have a very solid team, a team that is prepared and plays hard in every game,” says Page. “We will be very good at the defensive end of the court and plan on being very up tempo at the offensive end.” In the backcourt, both of last seasons starters, Janine Ward (Tallevast, Fla.) and Laura Marquardt (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.), will return to Newberry. Ward is coming off a stellar year in which she led her team in assists with 3.4 per game. She also ranked second on the team in steals (1.6 per game) and free throw percentage (.813). Last season Marquardt put up solid numbers by leading her team in free throw percentage (.830) and ranked second in blocked shots (18).

The 2008-2009 season will also mark the return of Monica Alexander (Norcross, Ga.) who sat out last season. During the 2006-07 season Alexander was third in the SAC in assists with 4.8 per game. On top of her premier assist numbers, Alexander shot 37 percent from beyond the arc and averaged two steals a game. Her hard work was awarded that season when she was named to the All SAC second team. “The return of Monica Alexander is a huge benefit to the program,” Page says “She has had success here at Newberry College and knows what it takes to win big games and championships.” Keena Phillips (Milwaukee, Wis.) and Mashanda Thomas (Richmond, Va.) will also be returning to provide depth at the guard position.

Season Outlook RETURNING FORWARDS/CENTERS

season, she averaged 15.5 points and six rebounds a game.

At the forward position, Newberry fans can be excited about the return of sophomore Leanne Watson (Stone Mountain, Ga.). In her first season, Watson came off the bench and quickly emerged as one of Newberry’s best players. Watson ranked third on her team in points per game (7.2), rebounds per game (3.9), and blocked shots (5). Her solid performance all season landed her a spot on the SAC all-Freshman team. Expectations are already riding high when it comes to Watson’s development as a player and a leader.

“Transfer Helen McKinney and freshman Amy Browne bring instant scoring to our backcourt, while forward Ondia Kelley adds depth to our frontcourt,” Page said. “Keisha Henderson is a talented point guard that will gain valuable experience from the presence of Monica Alexander.”

“Leanne Watson will need to be a leader on and off the basketball court,” stated Page. “She has tremendous physical ability and is working very hard to improve her overall game. I believe she will have a big year and could be one of the top players in the conference.” This season Newberry fans will also see the return of Cortney Snowden (Augusta, Ga.). Snowden, who hasn’t played since the 2005-06 season, was an important player on the 2006 SAC championship team. She ranked third on the team in rebounds with 5.3 per game and also shot the ball efficiently with a .447 field goal percentage. Also returning at the forward/center position are Anita Bulcher (Russia, Ohio), Briana Johnson (Irmo, S.C.), and Sade Coates (Meridian, Miss.).

NEWCOMERS The scarlet and gray will also be joined by four new recruits that are ready to put their mark on Newberry women’s basketball. The recruiting class includes freshman Ondia Kelley (Villa Rica, Ga.) who comes to Newberry from Villa Rica HS where she was named MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in her senior season. Also new to Newberry is Keisha Henderson (Columbia, S.C.) who will begin her college playing career. While attending Blythewood HS she was a two time Basketball Coaches Association All-State honoree and averaged four steals a game her final year. The third freshman on this year’s roster is Amy Browne (Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia) from Caloundra St. HS in Australia. Browne was a four-time All-State selection and was a member of the All-Australian High School team that went undefeated during a tour of the United States in 2007. Page’s only transfer student this season is Helen McKinney (Owensboro, Ky.), a sophomore from Brescia University. As a freshman, McKinney was a key player on a team that won its conference and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament. During the 07-08

Andy Carter

Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics

Andy Carter is entering his seventh year as the Newberry College Director of Athletics, having joined the Newberry family in September of 2002. Since taking the helm, Carter has spearheaded several projects in order to turn Newberry Athletics into one of the premier programs in Division II. Carter came to Newberry after 17-year tenure at Missouri Baptist University. Upon receiving his undergraduate degree from the NAIA institution, he began his career as an admissions recruiter and assistant baseball coach while working on his master’s of business administration at Lindenwood University. His degree completion led him to a faculty position as an Instructor of Business Administration and Economics at Missouri Baptist, while at the same time serving the school as head baseball coach. Carter took over as baseball coach in 1991 and during his nine seasons at the helm won seven consecutive conference championships. Seven years into a successful coaching career, he also took over as Missouri Baptist’s athletic director. He served in both roles for two years before leaving coaching in order to devote all his attention to administrative duties. Almost immediately upon his arrival at Newberry, Carter presented the Board of Trustees with the “Newberry College Athletic Initiative”, a longterm plan to secure future athletic success, while maintaining Newberry’s excellent academic record for its athletics teams. Newberry has undergone an overhaul of its athletic program, instituting a stringent evaluation process for all varsity sports. The results were almost immediate, as the athletic program nearly doubled South Atlantic Conference victories in consecutive years under Carter’s reign. Also, for the first time since 1999, Newberry enhanced its offering of varsity sports, adding wrestling and competitive cheerleading. Academic achievement and student development are the cornerstones of the department. A growing student-athlete population (222 in 2002-03 up to 500 in 2007-08) have set the standard in the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) by winning four of the past five GPA titles and have achieved a cumulative GPA as high as 3.01 (2007-2008). The College’s commitment, as evidenced by the implementation of our Mentoring Skills program, is to maintain this success for the future. The student-athlete experience directly correlates to the relationship they have with their head coach. Annual evaluations and emphasis on desired results produced by the head coaches in the department aided in staff hiring and the development process. The success in hiring and developing all departmental staff (Coaches, administration, and staff) is directly correlated to the commitment shown by the College. The tenure of our head coaches, each program’s win-loss records, and the quality of each incoming recruiting class provide a window of the varied levels of success that will continue blessing the College for years to come. Facility enhancement has also been a major focal point for this administration. In the summer of 2006 a new Astro Turf football field was installed. This provided a state of the art field for practice and competition. The team responded by winning all 9 games played at Setzler Field, including our first ever NCAA DII post-season victory. Through the fall 2007 season, Newberry football has produced a 15-0 home record on the new turf. The 2007-2008 academic year brought the Phase I completion of the first of three new facilities at the Smith Road Athletic Complex with the completion of the Baseball facility. This facility will be the proud home for Newberry baseball for years to come and will provide a great opportunity to engage our community. The other facilities slated for the Smith Road Complex are new Softball and Soccer facilities. Also, the Newberry basketball and volleyball teams began playing last season on a new finished gym floor, powered by a brand new, state-of-the art lighting system. Future plans include new facilities for the men’s and women’s tennis teams, a practice facility for the Wrestling program, and determining the best course of action to give the football facilities at Seltzer Field its first facelift in almost 20 years. Success on the fields, courts, and fairways has come as the result of great processes. Our coaches have taught their student-athletes that we must win every day; in the classroom and on the fields, courts, and fairways. During the 2002-03 year we won 19% of SAC competitions. The progress has been steady and reached 53% in 2006-2007. This marked the first time the department ever eclipsed the 50% winning percentage since becoming a DII SAC member. Other competitive successes have come in the All-Sports competition. In 2002-03, we scored 21 points across the 14 representative sport programs. This placed Newbery last in the SAC standings, a place they have finished each year. Once again, the rise has been steady as we scored successively more points each year leading up to the 2006-07 year when we scored 76 points and finished third in the standings, only 6 points out of first place. What a wonderful testament to the support of the College Administration and the hard work of the staff and student-athletes. As the Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, he serves on the Newberry President’s Cabinet, under Dr. Mitchell Zais. He also is member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and serves as a Board Member for the D2 Athletics Director’s Association. Carter is married to his wife of 23 years, Rena. They have seven children: Aaron (20), a senior cadet at USMA-West Point, Becca (19), Beth (16), Jake (14), Rachel (12), Caleb (10), and Micah (8).

Newberry College...

And The Newberry Community Newberry College has an annual budget of over $16,500,000. The College employs about 225 people—165 salaried and 60 hourly. The monthly payroll exceeds $600,000 and monthly purchases and contracts average $700,000. Over 900 students and 225 employees make purchases in the community every day. The College sponsors around 60 cultural events each year—concerts, plays, art exhibits, lectures. The College hosts around 175 sporting events per year with their 15 NCAA Division II teams—8 men, 7 women. A number of off-campus groups use college facilities for special events. For example, the SC Lutheran Synod Assembly and the SC Lutheran Youth Convention each bring over 400 people into the community. We also host the South Carolina Women of the ELCA, a state-wide ROTC camp, the South Carolina Middle and Senior High Jazz Band Competition, the South Carolina Middle and High School Science Olympiads, the South Carolina Guidance Counselor Conference, several athletic camps, and many more. Special events such as Homecoming, graduations in May and December, Convocations, and accreditation visits in multiple programs bring thousands of visitors to Newberry. A study conducted by the Newberry Chamber of Commerce in 1998 concluded the College has the following economic impact on the city. With major growth in enrollment and accounting for inflation, these numbers would be significantly higher today.

“The economic impact of the Newberry College payroll is $28,000,000.” “The economic impact of total Newberry College spending is $84,000,000.” “The economic impact of student spending is $10,000,000.” “The total economic impact of Newberry College is over $100,000,000 per year.”
