Season Outlook

Motivation is what will have this year’s squad thriving after falling short by one stroke in last season’s Southland Conference Women’s Golf

Championship.

Head coach Carrie Cole guided the Roadrunners to their best season in school history in her first year at the helm. UTSA won three individual titles, including the Southland Conference Championship, and the program’s first ever team title (Stripes Islander Spring Classic). The squad posted seven top-five finishes, including five in the spring season, and two runner-up showings.

“We really ended on a good note despite not winning conference,” Cole said. “Coming so close has made the team really hungry this year. They are motivated heading into the season and it showed during the summer.”

Despite losing two key players in 2009 Southland Conference Individual Medalist Allie Jordan and Laura Baker, Cole has three experienced seniors in Shelly Martinez, Kayla McBride and Madison McClain.

Also returning for the Roadrunners are junior Laeni Bendzik, who redshirted last season, and three sophomores — Summer Batiste, Shannon Jungman and Bruna Spengler. They also welcome newcomer Paola Valerio, who will be eligible to compete in the spring.

“We are young, but have a good mixture of experience in this squad,” Cole said. “We are ready to go out and win tournaments. It’s going to be hard work, but they are ready for the challenge.”

SeniorsThe trio of Martinez, McBride and McClain will be the foundation of leadership and experience.

Martinez, who was elected team co-captain, has appeared in 28 career tournaments and recorded five career top-10 finishes. The Pecos native collected her first career individual title at the Stripes Islander Spring Classic last season. She appeared in all 10 events a year ago and posted the second-best stroke average on the team with a 78.56.

McClain, who also was named team captain, played in eight tournaments, including all six during the spring season. The Missouri City native posted a 79.75 stroke average, which ranked fourth on the team. McClain registered her best outing in a seventh-place tie at the Koasati Pines Classic with a 228 (74-74-79).

McBride appeared in two tournaments in the fall to bring her career total to 14 appearances. The Sonora native carded a 244 (78-83-83) at the North Texas Women’s Classic and she helped the Roadrunners to a runner-up showing with her 79 at the rain-shortened Yale Intercollegiate.

“I’m looking for the seniors to be leaders on the golf course and expect them to be in the lineup every tournament,” Cole said. “They have the most experience playing in tournaments and that’s where I will look for them to lead the team. They all had a great summer and it will be beneficial, because they they can draw on those experiences.”

JuniorBendzik is the lone junior on the team. The Calgary, Alberta, native sat out the 2008-09 season due to injury but looks to contribute this year.

SophomoresThe trio of Batiste, Jungman and Spengler should be regular contributors.

Batiste redshirted last year, but played in four events during the 2007-08 season. She registered her best outing at the Hawkeye Invitational (T-29th) as a fresman.

Jungman competed in six tournaments during her rookie campaign. The Pflugerville native was vital in helping UTSA capture its first team title at the Stripes Islander Spring Classic. She ended with a 14th-place showing after registering rounds of 77, 82 and 75 for a total of 234. Jungman closed out the season with a three-round tally 242 (86-79-77) at the Southland Championship.

Spengler played in six tournaments, including two as an individual, during the spring season. The Santa Cruz Do Sul, Brazil, native opened her collegiate career by tying for sixth place with a 76-75-78—229 at the North Texas Women’s Classic during the fall campaign. Spengler shot an 80-77-78—235 and tied for 17th at the Stripes Islander Spring Classic.

FreshmanValerio will join the Roadrunners in the spring. The freshman standout was ranked No. 1 by the Mexican Golf Federation in 2008 and 2009. The Mexico City native was a member of the Mexican National Junior Team and has competed in the Junior World Championship the last three seasons (2006-08). Her best outing was 23rd with scores of 77-75-76-79—307. She placed third at the 2008 AJGA Maykoba Junior Golf Classic and also had a ninth place showing (79-75-78—232) at the Doral Publix Junior in 2007.Senior Shelly Martinez collected her first

individual title at the Stripes Islander Spring Classic last season.

Introduced as the department’s new head women’s golf

coach on July 17, 2008. Carrie Cole enters her

second season at UTSA.

In just one season as head coach, Cole has transformed the program into one of the top contenders in the Southland Conference.

The 2008-09 season saw several notable individual and team accomplishments. Former UTSA standout Allie Jordan became the first player in the program’s history to win an individual title (Yale Intercollegiate) and also was the first to capture the Southland Women’s Golf Individual Championship. Cole also led the squad to its first tournament title at the Stripes Islander Spring Classic on Feb. 24, behind individual medalist Shelly Martinez.

From the beginning, Cole installed a new approach to the game from a mental and physical standpoint. Her philosophy produced the first team title to go along with six top-five finishes and two runner-ups, three individual wins and two All-Southland performers (Jordan and Laura

Cole’s career extends from the collegiate to the professional level. She played at Tennessee from 1998-2002. During her stint with the Lady Vols, Cole was a four-year letterwinner and earned honorable mention All-Southeastern Conference honors as a junior. Cole’s team was ranked as high as No. 2 in the country at one point during her playing career. She played on teams throughout her career at Tennessee which produced multiple current and former LPGA and European Tour players, one of which she caddied for in the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open. She was an SEC Academic Honor Roll selection her last two years.

She spent her fifth year at Tennessee as a student assistant coach and also went to FUTURES qualifying school to follow her dream of playing professionally. Cole ultimately graduated from Tennessee with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing in 2003.

Bill RogersAssistant Coach • Second Year

Houston, ’73

Bill Rogers, who brings more than 30 years of

experience to UTSA, is in his second season as

assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs.

As a first-year assistant, Rogers played an instrumental role in UTSA’s success during the 2008-09 season. The Roadrunners recorded seven top-five finishes, to go along with three individual titles and the program’s first team title.

“I am extremely excited for someone with Bill’s background to become involved with the women’s golf team,” Cole said. “There are not many teams in the country that have a person with his resumé on their staff,”

Rogers is a former Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour member who began his career in 1974.

“Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge and expertise from the playing side, but he is one of the most genuinely kind people I have ever met,” Cole said. “He will be an excellent leader and mentor for each player on my team and both programs are extremely fortunate to have him on board.”

Rogers collected several PGA and international victories during his career, including the 1981 British Open. His first pro win came at the 1977 Pacific Masters and he then won his first PGA event one year later at the Bob Hope Desert Classic. The following year, he won the World Match Play and Suntory Classic.

Rogers put together one of his best seasons in 1981 with seven tournament triumphs, including The British Open, Heritage Classic, Texas Open and Australian Open. He also collected one of golf’s most notable trophies that same year, the PGA Player of the Year. Rogers capped off the season as a member of the 1981 Ryder Cup team. Ten years later, he returned to the Ryder Cup as an assistant coach.

Prior to his professional career, Rogers was a four-year letterwinner at Houston, where he earned first-team All-America honors in 1973. He later was inducted into the Houston Cougars Hall of Fame in 1987.

Rogers was a board member of Golf San Antonio and the Director of Golf at the San Antonio Country Club from 1990-2000. He also brought the American Junior Golf Association to San Antonio and played a key role in the development of Briggs Ranch Golf Club. Rogers was inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 1995 and San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

Ian ParnabyVolunteer Coach • Second Year

Tennessee, ’04

Former Tennessee standout Ian Parnaby begins

his second season as volunteer assistant

coach of the women’s golf program and first year as the men’s volunteer coach.

Parnaby played an important role this past season, helping the women’s golf program reach a new level of competition. He was vital to the team achievements of one team tournament win (Stripes Islander Spring Classic) three individual titles and a runner-up showing at the 2009 Southland Conference Women’s Golf Championship. After graduating from Tennessee in 2004, Parnaby turned professional in 2005 and has spent the last three years playing on the NGA Hooters Tour, Nationwide Tour and Euro Pro Tour. He narrowly missed out on the first stage of PGA Tour qualifying school this fall and plans to play a mixed schedule of NGA Hooters Tour and Adams Tight Lies events. He will bring a wealth of knowledge to the program.

After graduation, the Durham, England, native returned home to compete in the Euro Pro Tour from 2006-07. He then came back to the U.S. to participate in the Nationwide Tour’s Chattanooga Classic in 2007. In 2008, he played on the NGA Hooters Tour, where he tied for 17th at the Onion Creek Classic in Austin.

“Course management and short game are two strengths of his and two areas where he will have an immediate impact on our program,” Cole said.

During his four-year stint as a member of the Tennessee golf team, he collected second-team All-SEC honors and was a three-time Academic All-SEC recipient. Parnaby won the prestigious Ridges Intercollegiate in 2003 and posted five top-five finishes. He also participated in the 2003 NCAA Championship his final season.

“His experience at Tennessee and now as a professional will be very valuable in assessing the players games and finding ways to improve each area,” Cole said.

Parnaby has one brother, Stuart, a professional soccer player who resides in Birmingham, England. His mother and father, David and Jean, reside in Durham, England.

Parnaby is engaged to Cole.

Dr. Ricardo Romo, a San Antonio native, became UTSA’s fifth president in 1999 and is the first Hispanic president in the university’s

30-year history.

Sources: WikipediaAbout utSAThe University of Texas at San Antonio was founded on June 5, 1969, by Texas Governor Preston Smith.

UTSA serves the San Antonio metropolitan area and the broader region of South Texas through programs and services offered from its three campuses: Main Campus, Downtown Campus and Hemisfair Park Campus.

With more than 28,400 students enrolled in 131 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, UTSA is the second-largest component in The University of Texas System and has been one of the state’s fastest-growing public universities for much of the last decade.

UTSA listed an enrollment of 28,413 (24,648 undergraduates) for 2008-09, making it the sixth-largest school in the state of Texas.

UTSA offers 64 bachelor’s, 44 master’s and 20 doctoral degree programs in the colleges of Architecture, Business, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Honors, Liberal and Fine Arts, Public Policy, Sciences and in the Graduate School.

The university’s three campuses provide access and opportunity for large numbers of historically underserved students. More than 56 percent of UTSA’s students come from groups underrepresented in higher education. Many students are the first in their families to attend a college or university.

As the region’s largest generator of engineers, artists, business professionals, teachers, scientists and technology managers, UTSA has produced more than 76,000 graduates since awarding its first degree in 1974.

UTSA has a total of 586 budgeted tenure/tenure-track faculty positions. Ninety-eight percent of full-time faculty hold doctorates or equivalent terminal degrees. More than 260 tenured and tenure-track faculty positions were added during the last seven years and 69 percent of tenure-track faculty hired have been women and minorities.

In addition to the educational advantages UTSA offers, its economic impact directly and indirectly produces $852 million in annual business activity in Texas, including more than 6,500 jobs and $200 million in personal income. Purchases by UTSA in 2007 totaled more than $48.6 million, with $17.2 million or 35 percent designated or obtained from historically underutilized business (HUB) vendors.

is making UTSA one of the most highly-regarded universities in the region.

Romo became the fifth president of The University of Texas at San Antonio in May 1999. As President, he leads one of the fastest growing institutions of higher education in Texas and the nation. UTSA, under his leadership, is now poised to be one of the state’s next premier research universities.

Romo has led strategic efforts to enhance both access to education and excellence in scholarship and service at the University.

During his tenure, UTSA’s enrollment has grown nearly 50 percent and the university has added numerous programs and facilities to enhance student life. He also has implemented new student support programs designed to help students succeed at earning a university degree. The number of advisers has tripled and UTSA, with more than 28,500 students in 2007-08, is recognized as a leader in “Closing the Gaps,” a statewide initiative by the Legislature to enroll more Texans in higher education.

A native of San Antonio’s West Side, Romo graduated from Fox Tech High School and attended The University of Texas at Austin on a track scholarship. He served as captain of the track & field and cross country teams and earned All-America honors in 1966. Romo was the first Texan to run the mile in less than four minutes and his mark still stands as a university record. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education.

Romo holds a master’s degree in history from Loyola Marymount University and a Ph.D. in history from UCLA. A nationally respected urban historian, Romo is the author of East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio, which is now in its ninth printing (one in Spanish).

Dr. Romo was inducted into the San An-tonio Sports hall of in 2001. Joining Dr.

Romo were (left to right): Robert Quiroga, Rudy Davalos and nelson Wolff.

In 1980, President Romo returned to UT Austin to teach history before becoming a Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.

In 2002, President Bush appointed him to the President’s Board of Advisers on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Two years later, former Secretary of State Colin Powell appointed Romo as a U.S. representative to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. The following year, Romo was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, San Antonio branch and was reappointed in 2007. Romo currently serves as the Vice Chair.

He was honored by the UT Austin Friar Society as “Outstanding Friar Alumnus” in 2006. Romo was elected Chairman of the Board for the San Antonio Hispanic

Chamber of Commerce (the largest U.S. Hispanic Chamber organization) for 2006. In 2007, Governor Rick Perry appointed Romo to serve on the “Commission for College Ready Texas.” He serves on nearly 20 boards, many of them in San Antonio and is active in several museum boards and is especially proud of his work with the United Way.

Romo is married to Dr. Harriett Romo, an associate professor of sociology at UTSA. She also serves as Director of UTSA’s Mexico Center and works with the Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute. They have one son, Carlos, who graduated from Stanford University and The University of Texas School of Law. Their daughter, Anadelia, attended Princeton as an undergraduate and received a doctoral degree from Harvard University and presently teaches at Texas State University.

Dr. Romo has received many honors during his academic career. One of the most recent recognitions was the Isabel la Catolica award, the highest award given to non-Spanish subjects, bestowed upon him by King Juan Carlos of Spain.

Lynn Hickey has made student-athlete welfare one of her top priorities as she continues to work to bring the UTSA

Athletics Department to the upper echelon of the NCAA Division I standings.

Under Hickey’s direction the last nine years, UTSA has claimed three Southland Conference all-sports championships while consistently winning both team and individual awards in all 16 sports sponsored by the university. On Dec. 18, 2008, UTSA’s Athletics Initiative Business Plan was approved by the UT System Board of Regents, granting permission to start a football program. Hickey made a splash with the hiring of the first-ever head football coach, as two-time National Coach of the Year Larry Coker was introduced on March 6, 2009.

Hickey has led the charge for UTSA and its hosting of numerous NCAA Championship events. Since her arrival on campus, UTSA has served as host institution for the 2001 NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional, 2002 Women’s Final Four, 2003 Men’s Basketball South Regional, 2004 Men’s Final Four, 2005 Women’s Volleyball Championship, 2006 Women’s Basketball South Regional, 2007 Men’s Basketball South Regional and 2008 Men’s Final Four and will host the 2010 Women’s Final Four. When the calendar is turned to 2010, UTSA will have hosted 11 NCAA Championship events in a 13-year period.

In 2007, Hickey was named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, one of the most prestigious appointments in all of collegiate athletics. The 10-member committee oversees administration of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, including the selection and seeding of teams for the tournament. Hickey became just the second female ever selected to the committee, joining UNC Charlotte Athletics Director Judy Rose, who served from 1999-2003.

Hickey has been honored nationally for her hard work at UTSA. She was named the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators 2005 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year. Hickey earned her second national award in June 2006 as the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA)/GeneralSports TURF Systems Division I-AAA West Region AD of the Year (ADOY). She also was selected to and completed the Masters Leadership Program of San Antonio and Bexar County.

“UTSA is very fortunate to have an athletic leader with both the administrative and coaching experience of Lynn Hickey,” UTSA President Dr. Ricardo Romo said. “Lynn not only is a leader who can take our athletic program to the next level, but she is also

well respected nationally and serves as an excellent role model for all student-athletes at this university.”

In serving as the fourth athletics director in UTSA history, Hickey assumed the lead athletics role at one of the youngest NCAA Division I universities in the country (UTSA began athletic competition in 1981). The only female Division I athletics director that oversees both men’s and women’s sports in the state of Texas, she served as President of the Southland Conference from 2002-04 and as the SLC’s representative to the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet.

“It has been an exciting nine years,” said Hickey, who served on the Women’s Basketball Rules Committee from 2003-06, the last two as Chair. “We have made some good strides to bring the program to prominence nationally.

San Antonio is an outstanding city and is a tremendous asset to the unlimited potential of the UTSA athletics program.”

Hickey came to San Antonio from Texas A&M University, where she served as senior associate athletic director/senior woman administrator since 1994. At Texas A&M, her responsibilities included event management and marketing and promotions for 16 of the university’s 19 Division I sports. She also represented the Big 12 Conference as a member of the NCAA Championship Cabinet.

From 1984-94, Hickey served as head women’s basketball coach for Texas A&M. She directed the 1993-94 Aggies basketball team to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, becoming the lowest-seeded team to ever reach that milestone. Texas A&M finished the year ranked No. 19 in the CNN/USA Today Top 25 poll. Following the season, Hickey relinquished her coaching duties to accept the promotion to senior associate athletic director. She

finished her coaching career with an overall mark of 279-167 in 15 years of collegiate coaching.

Before her stint at A&M, Hickey was head women’s basketball coach at Kansas State University from 1979-84. She averaged more than 23 wins per season in posting a 125-39 (.762) record over five years and led the Wildcats to five consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. She was inducted into the Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame in September 2004.

A native of Welch, Okla., Hickey graduated summa cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark., with a bachelor’s degree in education. She was an All-American for OBU’s nationally-ranked basketball team and a member of the USA National Team in 1973. Hickey and her husband, Bill, have one daughter, Lauren Nicole.

Southland ConferenceIn an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 45 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence.

On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the Central Arkansas and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. UCA and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Southland Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar, McNeese State, Nicholls, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, the UT Arlington, UTSA, and Texas State.

All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (SLU), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (UCA) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington).

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students

from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The Conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s

golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and

female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete.
