Alabama head coach Mic Potter added national champion to

his resume in 2012 and is in his 13th season with the Crimson

Tide and 34th overall with another highly-ranked and talented

roster for the 2017-18 season.

Potter had already established a Hall-of-Fame legacy before

he arrived in Tuscaloosa thanks to his impressive work building

Furman into a national power. His work over the past 12 years

at Alabama has been historic, culminating with the school's first

national championship in 2012. Three seasons later, Potter helped

guide Emma Talley to the individual NCAA Championship to cap

off the 2014-15 season, making her the first NCAA medalist in

the program’s history.

Potter, who came to the Capstone after 22 years at Furman,

led the Tide to its second NCAA appearance in program history in

his first year at Alabama and repeated the feat each of the last 12

years (2007-18). His 2012 national championship and 13 straight

NCAA Championships berths (including the 2017-18 season) only

reaffirmed his status as one of the most accomplished coaches in

women's collegiate golf. His reclamation project in Tuscaloosa is

one of the most impressive turnarounds in collegiate golf history.

With the recent success, the honors continue to pile up for

Potter, who helped the Crimson Tide develop into a national

power in the ultra-competitive SEC. The veteran coach has won

14 Conference Coach of the Year awards, including six in the SEC.

Throughout his career, Potter has developed a reputation for

being an excellent teacher of the game as well as a builder of

elite college programs. His student-athletes have consistently

performed at a high level both in the classroom and on the course,

with several carrying that level of excellence into the professional

ranks. Potter's former players who have gone on to careers in

the LPGA include the legendary Dottie Pepper (who starred for

his Furman teams) and several recent Alabama players, namely

Kathleen Ekey, Jenny Suh, Brooke Pancake and Jennifer Kirby.

Alabama opened the 2016-17 season in record-setting

fashion as the Crimson Tide stormed to a school-record 39-under

par 825 to win the Mason Rudolph Championship in its first

tournament of the fall schedule. Sophomore Cheyenne Knight

set a school 54-hole record with a 14-under par 202 and junior

Lakareber Abe also set a school 18-hole record ith a 9-under par

63 in the final round.

The Tide would go on win two other regular season

tournaments as well as the NCAA Athens Regional, earn a

runner-up finish at the SEC Championships and qualify for a

12th-straight NCAA tournament. Individually, Knight earned

SEC Player of the Year honors and Kristen Gillman was named

the conference Freshman of the Year.. Knight and Gillman also

earned first-team Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA)

and Golfweek All-America honors, while sophomore Lauren

Stephenson earned second-team honors from both groups.

The 2015-16 season saw the Crimson Tide win its third

Southeastern Conference championship under Potter and qualify

for the NCAA Championships. Knight was named the NCAA

Freshman of the Year by the WGCA and a First Team All-American

by the WGCA and Golfweek. Talley was tabbed a First Team All-

American by the WGCA and joined Knight as a first team SEC

all-conference honoree.

The 2014-15 season marked the 10th consecutive NCAA

berth for the Crimson Tide. Alabama finished 14th overall at

the NCAA Championships. But the highlight of the season was

undoubtedly Talley’s triumph to claim the individual crown,

finishing three-under par for the tournament to bring home the

NCAA title. She was named a first team All-American by both

the WGCA and Golfweek. Talley also earned the Honda Award

for women’s golf, the second player in program history to do so

(Pancake, 2012). Abe was selected to the 2015 SEC All-Freshman

Team.

Stephanie Meadow led the 2013-14 team that finished ninth

at the NCAA Championships and won The Landfall Tradition.

Meadow became the school's all-time leading scorer and the

program's first four-time First Team All-American. She was also

named the SEC Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year

for the second time. She was named the NCAA Elite 89 Award

winner. Talley garnered honorable mention All-America honors

and helped lead the United States to victory at the Curtis Cu while

Meadow played for the Great Britain and Ireland team.

The Crimson Tide's 2012-13 season was another for the record

books as the program captured its second SEC championship and

second NCAA East Regional title. Alabama won a school-record

seven events, including six of eight on the spring schedule. Potter

was named the SEC Coach of the Year and the SkyCaddie WGCA

East Region Coach of the Year.

The 2012-13 team saw three players garner All-America

honors, with Meadow a consensus first-team selection. Talley

was a second-team pick by the NGCA and Jennifer Kirby earned

honorable mention accolades. Meadow also became the first

Alabama player to earn SEC Player of the Year honors and the

third in conference history to also be named the SEC Scholar-

Athlete of the Year in the same season. Talley became the third

Tide golfer to earn league Freshman of the Year honors. Hannah

Collier garnered second team All-SEC recognition, along with

Talley and Kirby.

The team's first win of the 2012-13 season came at the Betsy

Rawls Longhorn Invitational, when they tied for first with Florida.

The Tide then posted wins at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic, the

Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, the Gator Women's Invitational and

the PING/ASU Invitational along with SECs and NCAA Regional

Championship.

The 2011-12 team captured its national title with a one-

stroke victory over USC at the Vanderbilt Legends Club. The

Crimson Tide spent most of that season ranked second in the

polls and finished third in the SEC before tying for fourth at the

NCAA East Regional leading up to NCAAs. The Tide earlier posted

team victories at the SEC/Pac-12 Challenge, the Darius Rucker

Intercollegiate and the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic. Alabama

finished second on three other occasions and finished outside the

top four only once in 2011-12.

The 2011-12 season saw three Alabama players, Pancake,

Kirby and Meadow, earn First Team All-America honors. Pancake

won the Honda Award, presented to the nation's top collegiate

golfer, while also being named the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the

Year for the third time, the SEC Female Athlete of the Year and

the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-American of the Year.

Pancake (United States) and Meadow (Great Britain and Ireland)

also participated in the Curtis Cup at Nairn in Scotland to cap the

historic 2011-12 season.

Alabama's 2010-11 team turned in an outstanding season

as the Crimson Tide continued its climb into the elite of women's

collegiate golf. The Tide spent the entire season in the top five

with a school-record five wins -- NCAA Fall Preview, Tar Heel

Invitational, Lady Puerto Rico Classic, Liz Murphey Classic and

the NCAA East Regional - before tying for eighth at the NCAA

Championship.

Two Alabama players captured medalist honors during the

2010-11 season. Meadow, then a freshman, had a school-record

three wins (Lady Puerto Rico Classic, Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate

and NCAA East Regional). Pancake won the Tar Heel Invitational

in the fall of 2010 with an 11-under-par 206 while the team set

the school record with a 28-under-par 836.

Meadow and Pancake were selected as 2011 First Team All-

Americans while Camilla Lennarth garnered third-team honors.

The Tide also had three first team All-SEC selections (Meadow,

Pancake and Lennarth) and one second-team choice (Kirby).

Potter was named the 2011 SEC Coach of the Year, Pancake the

Student-Athlete of the Year and Meadow was the Co-Freshman

of the Year.

The 2010 SEC Championship was a springboard for the

program's best NCAA Championship finish to date, a third-place

showing that was only four shots off the winning score. Alabama

also captured a team win at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic.

The Tide had three players finish in the top 15 individually at

the 2010 NCAAs, with Kirby tied for seventh, Pancake 12th and

Lennarth tied for 13th. That trio garnered All-America honors,

with Lennarth earning second-team accolades while Kirby and

Pancake were honorable mention selections.

Lennarth and Kirby also were First Team All-SEC selections,

with Kirby adding the 2010 SEC Freshman of the Year. Pancake

was a Second Team All-SEC selection and the SEC Scholar-

Athlete of the Year. She also was honored with the NCAA Elite 88

Award at the NCAA Championship as the player in the field with

the highest grade-point average (4.0). Potter was named the SEC

and NGCA East Region Coach of the Year.

In 2009-10, Lennarth set the single-season scoring record

with a 72.59 average and Kirby broke the freshman scoring mark

with a 73.06 average, shattering the mark of 74.06 set by Pancake

in 2008-09. The team set a 54-hole scoring record with a 4-under-

par 848 to clinch the SEC Championship. Two Alabama NCAA

scoring records also fell with the Tide posting a 5-over-par 1,157

over 72 holes at the NCAA Championship on the Dye Course

at Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C., and Kirby's

individual 72-hole scoring mark of 4-under 284.

Potter's 2008-09 team finished the year 11th at the NCAA

Championships while being ranked eighth in the final NGCA

Coaches' Poll and seventh in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance

Index. The Tide captured their fifth tournament victory under

Potter's guidance in 2009 at the First Market Bank Intercollegiate.

Alabama also tied for second at the SEC Championships and then

was runner-up at the NCAA East Regional. The Tide's fifth trip to

the NCAA Finals in 2009 produced another improvement with an

11th-place finish.

Alabama had two players, Ekey and Lennarth, earn first

team All-SEC honors in 2009 while Pancake was selected to the

league's All-Freshman Team and awarded second team All-SEC

recognition. Ekey and Lennarth garnered 2009 honorable mention

All-America accolades, with Ekey, Lennarth and Pancake all

earning NGCA All-East Region honors.

The 2007-08 season saw Alabama put together what was

the program's most successful season to date. The Tide earned

its third straight berth to the NCAAs and finished 12th at the

MIC POTTER BY THE NUMBERS

2008 NCAA Championship. Alabama won three tournaments in

2007-08, including the Crimson Tide Classic in record-breaking

fashion. The Tide turned in a school-record 54-hole score of 861

(-3) at the Ol' Colony Golf Club. Alabama shot a final-round score

of 279 (-9), also a school record. Five Tide golfers finished in the

top 10 with Ekey carding a school record and women's course

record score of 65 (-7) to finish with a 54-hole score of 203 (-13)

and medalist honors.

The Crimson Tide also earned tournament titles at the 2007

Wildcat Fall Invitational with a score of 889 and at the 2008 Lady

Puerto Rico Classic. After the Classic, Sarah Sturm was named

the Golf World National Player of the Week. Ekey went on to

earn All-American honors in her first season at the Capstone

(2008) and broke Suh's single-season record for stroke average

by posting a 73.30.

The 2006-07 campaign saw the Tide take another step

forward in the development of the program under Potter's

guidance. Alabama recorded five top-five finishes, including

a runner-up showing at the Derby Invitational. For the second

straight year the Crimson Tide earned a berth in the NCAA

East Regional and finished seventh to advance to the NCAA

Championship Finals for only the third time. Suh earned honorable

mention All-America honors and became a two-time, first team

All-SEC honoree after averaging 73.88 strokes per round.

Potter made an impact from the start. In his first season

(2005-06), the legendary coach led his team to a tournament

championship in his very first outing by winning Alabama's own

Ann Rhoads Invitational. The 2005-06 team also recorded two

top-five finishes during the spring season. After qualifying for

the 2006 NCAA East Regional, the Crimson Tide put together a

postseason run by defeating Virginia in a playoff to advance to

the school's second-ever NCAA Championship.

Suh earned first team NGCA All-America honors in 2005-

06 after shattering the school record at the time with a 73.44

stroke average. Looking back on Potter's resume, it comes as no

surprise that he had his first Tide team competing for a national

championship.

On June 17, 2005, The University of Alabama named the 1994

NGCA Hall of Fame honoree as its women's golf coach. By doing

so, the Crimson Tide added one of the most illustrious names in

women's golf to its golf heritage.

Potter proved to be one of the collegiate golf's outstanding

teachers and coaches while guiding Furman, a school competing

in the Southern Conference, to national prominence in his 22-year

tenure with the Paladins. He also served for 10 years as Furman's

Director of Intercollegiate Golf. Potter guided Furman to 15 NCAA

Championship berths and six top-10 national finishes, including

an NCAA runner-up performance in 1987. He has yet to coach

a season in which his team has not reached NCAA Regional

competition, a streak dating back to 1993, the first season in

which the regional format was established.

Potter's coaching accomplishments stand alone as an

indication of the abilities of the Tide's mentor. In addition to these

outstanding achievements, his players have recorded astounding

success at both the collegiate level and in the professional ranks.

The ability to build and maintain a program certainly are

among Potter's strengths when considering the amazing run of

success he had throughout his career at Furman. Potter took the

school, with an approximate enrollment of 2,500 students, into

the upper tier of women's golf schools, leading the Paladins to

unprecedented heights.

Potter was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year

eight times and led his Furman teams to 36 tournament titles

while his Tide teams have captured 27 tournament wins, which

puts him among the leaders for all active women's golf coaches

with 63 total victories. To put that remarkable statistic in

perspective, the Alabama women's golf program had won only

19 team tournament titles through the beginning of the 2005-06

season, a span of 31 years.

Led by Potter, the Paladins won 10 Southern Conference

Championships since the tournament's inception in 1994,

including the 2004-05 championship.

Potter has coached 38 WGCA All-Americans, 36 WGCA

All-Scholar Team selections, 66 all-conference selections, seven

players to 17 first team All-SEC awards, 14 conference players of

the year and seven conference freshmen of the year.

One of the most important standards of success for any coach

in major collegiate athletics is the ability to place players into the

professional ranks while guiding them to a degree. Measuring

Potter by these standards again places him among the very best

in the nation. Since Potter's arrival at Alabama, six of his players

have earned their LPGA Tour card, with Hannah Collier, Kathleen

Ekey, Jennifer Kriby, Stephanie Meadow and Brooke Pancake all

full-time members in 2016. Meadow finished third at the 2014

U.S. Women's Open and earned her LPGA Tour card for the 2015

season.

In 2016, Potter added an Olympian to the list of his former

players as Meadow represented Ireland in the inaugural women's

Olympic golf tournament at the 2016 Games in Rio.

In the exceedingly competitive LPGA atmosphere, Potter's

former players have enjoyed long, successful careers in

professional golf. Through the end of the 2016 season, former

Potter pupils had amassed 90-plus seasons on tour. Pepper - a

former Furman standout and Paladin Hall-of-Famer - had an

illustrious LPGA career, winning 17 events, including the 1992

and 1999 Kraft Nabisco Championships. She earned more than $5

million in career winnings before ending her 20-year professional

career in 2003.

By any standard, Potter has proven to be one of the best

women's golf coaches in the nation for more than three decades.

He has built successful programs and maintained that standard

by recruiting and cultivating talented players who advance to the

professional ranks and obtain their degrees.

A 1977 graduate of Cortland State University, Potter majored

in physical education while earning four varsity letters: three in

soccer and one in golf. He is married to the former Kim O'Branski

of Ithaca, N.Y. The couple has two sons, Ryan and Corey, and two

granddaughters, Anna and Caroline.
