2011-12 SEASON PREVIEWOVERVIEW

The 2011-12 basketball season marks a new beginning for head coach Susie Gardner and her staff at Mercer. Gone are memories of a 2-27 record a season ago, instead replaced with excitement for a rebirth of the Mercer basketball program.

This year, Gardner enters her second season at Mercer and is eager to give fans a taste of a team truly fashioned in her image. Gardner welcomes back six players from last year, players who have bought in to her system and are committed to the long-term success of the program.

Joining the six returners are eight newcomers – a handpicked selection of talent that comprise Gard-ner’s first recruiting class at Mercer. Three post players and five guards are among the new arrivals, creating a healthy competition for playing time.

On paper, the Bears are again one of the youngest teams in the nation, with zero seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and six freshmen on the roster. But look between the lines and you’ll see that the sophomores and juniors on the team are among the most experienced players in the conference.

Four players (Sharnea Boykin, Shari Smith, Brittnee Hazel and Briana Williams) finished last season ranked among the top-30 conference players in minutes played.

Also back are juniors Kendra Grant and Alex Phillips. Grant was undoubtedly the emotional leader of last year’s squad, but suffered a knee injury that kept her sidelined for the second half of her sopho-more campaign. Phillips had a breakout season in 2010-11, bumping her scoring average from 1.8 points per game in her freshman season to 7.5 last year.

The combination of five returning starters, two key reserves and eight newcomers provide Mercer fans the opportunity to get in on the ground level of Gardner’s main project – the resurgence of the Mercer women’s basketball program.

SCHEDULE

Matchups with Auburn, Notre Dame, Wake Forest and Georgia bolster a daunting slate of games an-nounced by Mercer women’s basketball head coach Susie Gardner on August 24th. In all, the Bears’ 2011-12 campaign features 11 non-conference contests in supplement to 18 Atlantic Sun Conference tilts.

“I like our schedule,” Mercer head coach Susie Gardner said. “It features an exceptional home slate and also very challenging road trips.”

Of Mercer’s 20 regular season opponents, five (Notre Dame, Georgia, Central Florida, Florida Gulf Coast and East Tennessee State) finished the 2010-11 season ranked among the nation’s top-100 teams according to RealTimeRPI.com. Four opponents (Notre Dame, UCF, Georgia and Stetson) made appearances in the 2011 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament.

After its lone preseason exhibition game – a meeting with Georgia College in the University Center on Nov. 3 – Mercer gears up for its first regular season opener at home since 2007.

Mercer’s season tip-off against Auburn marks the second-straight year the Bears face the Tigers in game one. This year’s edition of the marquee matchup is scheduled for Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. and marks the annual homecoming event.

After hosting the Tigers, Mercer hits the road for a clash with Davidson on Nov. 14 before returning to Macon for a meeting with Georgia Southern on Nov. 17. Following the Georgia Southern game, Mercer travels south to Orlando for a clash with UCF on Nov. 20.

The game at UCF kicks off a five-game road stretch that sees the team tackle Wake Forest (Nov. 23), High Point (Nov. 25), Lipscomb (Dec. 1) and Belmont (Dec. 3). The trip to Nashville for games against Lipscomb and Belmont signify the start of Mercer’s 20-game conference schedule.

Georgia invades the University Center on Dec. 6, marking the Bulldogs’ first trip to Macon since February 1, 1993. That game is followed by a home event against Troy (Dec. 18) before a road trip to UNC Ashville on Dec. 21.

Winthrop is scheduled for a University Center showing on Dec. 28 before Mercer closes out the calendar year hosting Notre Dame on Dec. 30.

The Fighting Irish are Mercer’s final non-conference opponent of the season, as January ushers-in the start of a 16-game streak of A-Sun foes. The league’s round-robin format in basketball guarantees Mercer fans a look at each of the conference opponents.

“Once again the A-Sun will be a very competitive league,” Gardner said. “There is going to be a lot of cu-riosity on the part of other teams wondering how we will do and how early we will be competitive. I’ve liked what we’ve done in the weight room this summer and our individual workouts are going great.”

For the third-straight year, Mercer hosts the Atlantic Sun championship in the University Center. This year’s event is scheduled for Feb. 29-March 3, 2012.

SUSIEGARDNER

Head CoachSecond SeasonGeorgia, 1986

Mercer University named veteran NCAA Division I coach Susie Gardner as the school’s 10th women’s basketball head coach on June 24, 2010.

In her first year at Mercer, Gardner faced what she de-scribes as her greatest challenge in 18 years of coach-ing at the Division I level. Her first team at Mercer was the third-youngest team in Division I basketball – the 12-player roster featured a combined seven years of collegiate playing experience prior to the season.

Mercer finished 2-27 – a tally that doesn’t represent the growth the team experienced under Gardner’s di-rection. The 2010-11 team suffered numerous heart-breaking losses, dropping nine games by six points or less.

The season did produced several bright spots, as freshman Briana Williams landed Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, Second Team All-Atlantic Sun team and A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors. Freshman guard Sharnea Boykin led the conference in both minutes played and assists and sophomore Alex Phillips increased her scoring average from 1.8 to 7.5 points per game.

The 2010-11 season also provided Gardner the opportunity to begin recruiting her own players and truly build a Mercer team with her stamp on it. The 2011-12 season will see eight of Gardner’s recruits make their Division I collegiate debuts with Mercer. Before arriving at Mercer, Gardner spent the three previous campaigns (2007-10) as an assistant coach at the University of Florida. She joined the Gators after four seasons (2003-07) as the head coach at the University of Arkansas to give her the past seven seasons as a coach in the Southeastern Conference, regarded by many as the toughest college women’s basketball league in the nation. At Florida, the 2009 Gators advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament with Gardner on staff. Likewise, UF sandwiched that with WNIT appearances in 2008 and 2010 (advancing to the round of 16 during Gardner’s first year and to the second round in 2010). With Gardner at the Razorbacks’ helm in 2004-05, Arkansas earned a trip to the WNIT tournament. Prior to that, she had the SEC “Player of the Year” in 2003-04. Arkansas was a combined 64-54 during Gardner’s tenure and her 2005-06 team raced out to the best SEC start in the Lady ‘Hogs program history. Gardner cut her teeth as a Division I head coach at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., where she

had a highly-successful seven season run (1996-2003) and was 112-93. The Lady Govs accomplishments during that period included three Ohio Valley Conference tournament champion-ships (2001, 2002 & 2003), and OVC regular season title (2003) and three NCAA post-season berths (2001, 2002 & 2003). Gard-ner was tabbed as the OVC “Coach of the Year” in 2003. She also produced the OVC “Player of the Year” in both 2003 and 2004, with her players also garnering the league’s “Freshman of the Year” awards twice (2000 and 2001). From 1992-95, Gardner was the assistant coach at Western Athletic Conference power San Diego State University. In her three seasons with the Aztecs, she was a part of a program that won three-consecutive WAC tournament championships and, subsequently, also made three NCAA tourney appearances. SDSU was 69-20 with Gardner on staff and garnered two WAC regular season crowns in 1994 and 1995. Gardner is no stranger to middle Georgia or the Southeast region, having spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at the University of Georgia (1986-88) following a highly-successful four-year playing career for the Bulldogs under legendary head coach Andy Landers. UGA made the NCAA Final Four her last two years as a player – including a national runner-up finish in 1985 - and reached the NCAA tournament both of her years as a graduate assistant, as well. The Bulldogs won the SEC title in 1983, 1984 and 1986 as Gardner played alongside other note-worthy Georgia players like Teresa Edwards, Janet Harris and Katrina McClain. Gardner was a member of the 1983 Sports Festival South Team which earned a gold medal. She was also a member of the USA’s Select Team which competed in Canada. Gardner earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia in 1986, followed by a Master of Education degree in 1988.

Wierzba spent three seasons with the Terps (2007-10), in which he handled day-to-day operations of the team, coordinated team travel, scheduled practice and served as a liaison to the Academic Support and Career Development office. Prior to his time at Maryland, Wierzba spent two seasons as the Director of Operations for the men’s basketball program at Evansville University. After two years, he was named interim assistant coach in the spring of 2007 before taking the position at Maryland. Gardner first met Wierzba during her time as head coach of the women’s program at Austin Peay University. Wierzba was a four-year player at Austin Peay, where he helped the Governors win back-to-back Ohio Valley Confer-ence titles. A team captain for two years, he was named an OVC Scholar Athlete in his senior season. After graduating summa cum laude, Wierzba went on to play professionally in Mexico and Canada before returning to Austin Peay as a graduate assistant coach in 2004. As a graduate assistant with his alma mater, Wierzba assisted with on-court player development, recruiting and helped plan team travel.

TIFFANYSWOFFARD

Assistant CoachSecond SeasonAustin Peay, 2002

Tiffany Swoffard signed on for her first season with the Bears in the summer of 2010.

Swoffard played under Gardner for four seasons at Austin Peay, including two consecutive seasons in which the Lady Governors captured Ohio Valley Conference tournament championships and represented the league in the NCAA tour-nament (2000-02). Garnder discovered that Swoffard had a knack for recruiting talent at a young age. “She was always our student host for recruits and a great person to be around,” said Gardner. “Like Rhet, she’s been somebody I’ve wanted to hire since I left Arkansas.” Following her time at Austin Peay, Swoffard spent three seasons at the helm of the Georgia Metros AAU basketball team before joining the staff at Rowan University (N.J.) as a graduate assistant. Most recently, Swoffard had been an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith for four seasons. In her first year with the Lady Lions, Swoffard helped guide the team to a 34-2 record and the Bi-State Conference East Divi-sion title, the NJCAA Region II tournament championship and a third-place finish at the national tournament.

Swoffard earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing from Austin Peay in 2002.

The 2011-12 basketball season marks the first for Marisah Henderson as an assistant coach with Mercer.

Henderson, a 2010 graduate of Wichita State University, played two seasons for the Shockers of the Missouri Valley Conference. In her first year with the team, Henderson established herself as one of the premier floor leaders in the country, finishing the 2008-09 season ranked seventh in the nation averaging 6.6 assists per game. A year later, Henderson led the Shockers to an 18-14 (8-10 MVC) record before the team was ousted in the semifinal round of the conference tournament. In her two seasons with the team, Henderson dished out 236 assists, tying her for 16th most helpers in program history. Prior to her time at Wichita State, Henderson spent her freshman and sophomore seasons at Birmingham-Southern College and Arkansas-Fort Smith, respectively. During the 2007-08 season, Henderson was an intricate part of the UA-Fort Smith squad that achieved a Bi-State Con-ference and Region II Championship. That season, she collected All-Conference second-team honors en route to the team’s third place finish at the 2009 NJCAA Women’s Basketball national Tournament. At Birmingham-Southern, Henderson was a four-time Big South Conference Freshman of the Week and was also se-lected to the league’s All-Freshman Team.

Henderson’s appointment at Mercer marks her first coaching position in NCAA athletics.

Alex Phillips

“Alex could be one of the top

post players in our league. She

is greatly improved, but now

she just needs to have more of

a swagger and be more cocky.

She has worked hard and has a

tremendous hook shot around the

basket.”

Shari Smith

“Last year, Shari had a wrist

issue that we’ve solved. Getting

healthy will help her with catch-

ing and scoring down low. She’s

a relentless rebounder. She has

an amazing ability to jump at the

right time and grab balls you

don’t think are going to be in our

possession.”

fire last year as a freshman and

led the league in minutes played.

She has really taken it upon her-

her game. She is very confident,

a great vocal leader and under-

stands the game. ”

Brittnee Hazel

“Hazel’s got a knack for scoring

inside for being a smaller post.

She’s very strong and quick,

knows the game and is a good

passer. She is an overachiever

because she is a little smaller

than so many of the players she

matches up with. ”

ALICIAWILLIAMS #4

FRESHMANFORWARDFORT PAYNE, ALA.FORT PAYNE HS


Alicia Williams

“As our tallest wing, Alicia is going to

get a lot of minutes. In high school she

was a point guard, so she’s working on

converting into a wing. She runs the

floor great, is very bright and works

exceptionally hard on both ends of the

court.”


Alesha Smith

“Alesha could be our best defensive

player and I always want to have that

defensive stopper on the team. She is

really coachable and wants to be the

best that she can be. She does a great

job getting to the rim. We’re going to

find her niche, and she will help us as

a freshman without question.”

AUBURN, Ala. - The Mercer women’s basketball team outscored Auburn in the second half, whittling a 20 point halftime defi-cit to just 10 with under six minutes remaining, but could not complete the comeback and ultimately fell 79-61 on Friday evening. The game, which was the first basketball contest in the newly minted Auburn Arena, marked the season opener for both teams. All told, Mercer (0-1) outscored Auburn (1-0) 41-39 in the second half. Mercer’s second-half charge was fueled by freshman Briana Wil-liams, who netted 20 of her game-high 23 points in the final 20 minutes. Williams’ 23 points came on 7-of-17 shooting, including 5-of-10 beyond the arc. Williams’ shot of the evening came with 5:48 on the clock as she buried a three pointer to cut the Auburn lead to 10 at 64-54. Wil-liams’ trifecta came in front of the Mercer bench and ignited the Orange and Black sideline. Auburn proved resilient, scoring the game’s next six points to quell the Mercer emotion. Following Williams’ aforementioned three pointer, the Tigers finished the game on a 15-7 run.

STATESBORO, Ga. – Mercer freshman Briana Williams scored 13 points in the first half and the Bears trailed by six at intermission, but Georgia Southern opened the second half on a 20-2 run and ultimately prevailed 71-52 in Tuesday night’s non-conference women’s basketball game.

Mercer fell to 0-2 with the loss while Georgia Southern pulled even at 1-1.

Williams finished with 18 points, four rebounds and an assist in the losing effort. Williams’ classmate Brittnee Hazel tallied nine points, six rebounds, a block and a steal in the loss. Trailing 21-10 with just over eight minutes to go in the first half, Mercer employed a 15-4 run over the next 4:26 to knot the game at 25 apiece. Mercer’s surge was capped by eight-straight points from Williams.

Mercer’s charge forced Georgia Southern head coach Rusty Cram to call a timeout to halt the shifting momentum. Cram’s stop-page proved effective as the Eagles closed the half on a 9-0 run of their own, sending Mercer into intermission behind 34-25.

MACON, Ga. – Three Mercer players scored in double figures and the Bears held a five point advantage at halftime, but Furman’s Kelly O’Connor netted 20 second half points to lift the Paladins to a 63-47 win in Friday night’s non-conference women’s basketball game.

Mercer fell to 0-3 for the first time since the 2006-07 season while Furman moved to 1-1 on the year.

After Mercer took a 26-21 lead into intermission, the teams split the first 20 points of the second half. Trailing 36-31 with 10:12 remaining, Furman point guard Kaitlin Murphy was fouled and converted a pair of free throw attempts, trimming the Mercer lead to three.

Murphy’s free throws marked the start of a 30-7 Paladin run that saw the visitors take their largest lead of the night with 58 sec-onds remaining (63-45). Furman’s run was fueled by five three pointers from O’Connor.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Mercer freshman Brittnee Hazel scored 10 of her career-high 14 points in the second half, but Mercer was up-ended by Rice in Saturday afternoon’s non-conference women’s basketball game. The game, which marked Mercer’s first at the Georgia State Thanksgiving Tournament, was held at the Georgia State Sports Arena.

Mercer drops to 0-4 while Rice moved to 3-3 on the season.

After scoring four points and grabbing two rebounds in the first half, Hazel came out energized after the break. The Loganville, Ga. native was four-of-six shooting in the second half while add-ing five rebounds and a pair of steals in the final 20 minutes. Hazel’s classmate, Williams, scored a team-high 16 points in the loss.

Williams got the scoring started for Mercer, burying a deep three to give Mercer its first lead of the afternoon at 3-2. Moments later, sophomore Sharmesia Smith drove to the bucket and dished to Hazel to put the Bears in front, 5-2.

After Hazel’s layup, Rice scored the next ten points and Mercer could not regain the lead for the remainder of the game.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Mercer sophomore Sharmesia Smith scored a season-high 12 points and the Bears closed to within two points of Alabama A&M in the waning seconds, but the Bulldogs forced a key stop and ultimately prevailed 63-59 in Sunday afternoon’s women’s basketball contest. The game was held at the GSU Sports Arena and was the conso-lation game of the Georgia State Thanksgiving Tournament. With the win, Alabama A&M moved to 1-3 while Mercer fell to 0-5. Holding possession and trailing 61-59 with 1:00 on the clock, Mercer turned to its prolific freshman scorer Briana Williams to force a tie game. Williams drove the lane, created space and released a pull-up jumper that swirled around the rim and back out. Alabama A&M’s Whiquitta Tobar came away with the defensive rebound and scored with a pull-up jumper of her own on the other end to seal the victory for the Bulldogs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mercer freshman Briana Williams netted a career high 32 points to lead the Bears to a 69-56 triumph over Belmont in Thursday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game. The game, which marked the conference opener for both teams, was held at the Curb Event Center. Williams’ 32 points marked the highest scoring output for an Atlantic Sun player this season, surpassing USC Upstate’s Tee’Ara Copney’s 28 point total at Marshall.

Mercer moved to 1-5 (1-0 A-Sun) on the season while Belmont fell to 2-4 (0-1 A-Sun). After trailing at intermission 25-23, Williams went off for 23 second-half points and the Bears forced Belmont into 15 second-half turnovers en route to a 46-31 second half advantage.

Mercer’s second half tour de force began just 28 seconds in to the period, as sophomore Sharmesia Smith jumped into a Bel-mont passing lane, grabbed a steal and scored on the other end. Smith’s steal was the catalyst for a 7-0 Mercer run that gave the Bears a 30-25 lead and set the tone for the second half.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mercer freshman Brittnee Hazel had a career-high 21 points on eight-of-nine shooting from the field, but the Bears were defeated by Lipscomb, 67-57 in Saturday evening’s Atlantic Sun conference women’s basketball game at Allen Arena. Mercer fell to 1-6 (1-1 A-Sun) while Lipscomb improved to 3-4 (1-0 A-Sun). Facing the absence of forwards Alex Phillips and Kourtney Carter due to illness, Mercer called upon Hazel to play extra minutes and help minimize the impact of the missing post players. Hazel responded with her best collegiate game, finishing just two rebounds shy of Mercer’s first double-double of the season. Hazel established herself as a force early on the on the game, converting each of her first four field goal attempts and scoring eight points in the first five minutes of the game. Hazel also collected a career-high six steals in the losing effort. Hazel’s classmate, Briana Williams, tallied 18 points and grabbed six rebounds in 37 minutes of action.

ATHENS, Ga. – Sophomore Kendra Grant scored a career-high 14 points as the Mercer women’s basketball team fell to No. 25 Georgia, 92-45, on Tuesday evening at Stegeman Coliseum. Mercer dropped to 1-7 on the season while Georgia moved to 7-2 with the win.

Facing a significant height disadvantage, Mercer Gardner relied on her players to play a scrappy, aggressive defense against the Bulldogs. The result saw Mercer force the hosts into 17 turnovers and convert those giveaways into 12 points. All told, eight Mercer players notched a steal in the game. Grant’s 14 points came on the strength of three-of-seven shoot-ing from beyond the arc. Grant was one of three Mercer players who played more than 30 minutes against the Bulldogs. Sophomore Sharmesia Smith collected a team-high seven re-bounds while also contributing six points, two blocks and a steal. Freshman Brittnee Hazel battled her way to four points and four rebounds in 26 minutes of action.

MACON, Ga. – Mercer sophomore Kendra Grant led all scorers with 24 points, but her three-point attempt as time expired came up short and Charleston Southern escaped with a 71-68 win in Monday night’s non-conference women’s basketball game at the University Center. Mercer fell to 1-8 with the loss while Charleston Southern moved to 5-7 on the year. With the game knotted at 68, Charleston Southern’s Katie Tull stroked her fifth three pointer of the night with 13 seconds on the clock. After Gardner called timeout, Mercer guard Sharnea Boykin quickly advanced the ball up the sideline. Mercer looked to freshman Briana Williams to create space, but she was smothered by a Buccaneer defender and her three point attempt was off the mark. Boykin chased down the rebound and kicked it out to Grant, who had an open look at a game-tying three with two seconds to go. Grant’s shot clanged off the front of the rim and Charles-ton Southern prevailed.

MACON, Ga. – Mercer placed three players in double figure scor-ing, but UNC Asheville erased a six-point deficit with 4:04 to go and ultimately prevailed, 76-73 in Wednesday afternoon’s non-conference women’s basketball game. UNC Asheville moved to 6-4 on the year while Mercer fell to 1-9. With just over four minutes remaining, Mercer held a 67-61 ad-vantage when UNC Asheville’s Lindsey Montgomery was fouled trying to convert a fast-break layup. Montgomery hit both of her free throw attempts, sparking an 8-0 run that saw the Bulldogs take their first lead of the game with 3:15 to go in regulation. With one minute to go, Mercer trailed by one (72-71) and held possession. The Bears missed two jumpers, but each time Grant tracked down the offensive rebound to give the hosts another crack at a lead. After Grant’s second board, Williams beat her defender off the dribble and created just enough space to convert a layup and regain the advantage for Mercer with 37 seconds to go. UNC Asheville raced back down the court and Montgomery dished to Kelli Riles for the eventual game-winning layup with 27 seconds on the game clock.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Freshman Briana Williams scored a team-high 12 points as the women’s basketball team fell to Georgia Tech, 101-44 on Tuesday night at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

Georgia Tech captured its seventh-straight win and improved to 10-4 while Mercer fell to 1-10. Four Georgia Tech players scored in double figures, paced by freshman guard Tyaunna Marshall’s game-high 25. Georgia Tech senior Deja Foster finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for her fifth career double-double performance. After Georgia Tech controlled the opening tip, Mercer freshman Brittnee Hazel forced a turnover when she fronted her defender and knocked away the entry pass. Hazel’s effort led to a basket for sophomore Kendra Grant on the other end, putting the Bears ahead, 2-0. Hazel’s steal defined the Mercer defensive effort in the opening minutes, as a scrappy Bears defense forced the Yellow Jackets into four turnovers in the opening five minutes of play. All told, Mercer forced the Yellow Jackets into 19 turnovers on Tuesday.

MACON, Ga. – Three Mercer players scored in double figures, but visiting ETSU out-rebounded the hosts, 57-25 en route to an 83-68 win in Monday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game.

ETSU moved to 5-7 (2-1 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped to 1-11 (1-2 A-Sun).

Freshman Briana Williams paced Mercer with 24 points, her third 20-point effort of the season, while sophomore Kendra Grant added 16. Freshman Brittnee Hazel chipped in 10 in the losing effort.

In a back-and-forth contest throughout that featured six ties and six lead changes, ETSU used back-to-back three-pointers by Tara Davis and Natalie Pickwell to break the game open. The Bucca-neers finished the final 6:55 of the game on a 14-4 run to pull out the win.

The Bears finished the game with a season-high 22 assists. Boykin led the squad with 10 helpers, tying her previous season-high set against UNC Ashville on December 22.

MACON, Ga. – Despite holding a five point lead with just under six minutes remaining in the game, the Mercer women’s bas-ketball team couldn’t sustain its advantage, falling 70-64 to the visiting Spartans from USC Upstate on Wednesday evening at the University Center.

Mercer drops to 1-12 overall and 1-3 in A-Sun play with the loss, while USC Upstate improved to 7-5 overall and 4-0 in conference action with the win.

Freshman Briana Williams finished tied for the game-high with 19 points while classmate Brittnee Hazel recorded the team’s first double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

After taking a 36-32 lead into halftime, USC Upstate came out firing on all cylinders at the start of the second period. The Spar-tans used a 9-4 run to jump out to a 45-35 lead in the opening 90 seconds of the stanza.

With the Bears trailing 66-63 with 1:32 to go, Williams side-stepped her defender and drew a foul in the paint. Williams hit the front end of her free throws to trim the deficit to 66-64.

That would be as close as the Orange and Black got the rest of the way, with sophomore Lauren McRoberts hitting three free throws down the stretch to seal the win for the Spartans.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Mercer freshman Brittnee Hazel notched her second-straight double-double as the Bears were defeated by Campbell, 68-46 in Monday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at Gore Arena. Campbell captured its fourth-straight win and moved to 5-10 (4-2 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped its eighth-straight game and fell to 1-13 (1-4 A-Sun). Hazel tallied a team-high 19 points and added 10 rebounds in the losing effort. Freshman Rebecca Clanton reached a career-high with 11 points while adding two rebounds and a steal. Hazel has now scored in double digits in four of Mercer’s last five games. Freshman Sharnea Boykin dished 10 assists and scored three points against the Camels. Boykin has now tallied 10 assists in three of Mercer’s last five games. Boykin’s three 10 assist games give her the most double-digit assist performances in a single season for a Mercer player since Sally Skeldon accomplished the feat four times in the 2005-06 campaign.

DELAND, Fla. – The Mercer women’s basketball team got a 16-point, nine-rebound effort from freshman Brittnee Hazel and led with 4:53 to go in regulation, but Stetson ultimately pre-vailed, 67-59 in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun game at the Edmunds Center. Stetson improved to 7-9 (3-4 A-Sun) while Mercer fell to 1-14 (1-5 A-Sun). In the back-and-forth affair that featured 12 tie scores and 16 lead changes, Mercer held a slim, 53-52 advantage with under five minutes remaining. Stetson moved ahead and took control with a 10-0 run that elapsed the next 3:26. Stetson’s 10-0 surge was aided by nine-straight missed shots for Mercer. Despite being undersized in comparison with Stetson’s roster, Mercer out-rebounded the hosts 44-42. Mercer’s rebounding edge snapped a four-game streak where the Bears had been out-boarded by the opponent. Sophomore Sharmesia Smith led the way on the glass, pulling down 13 boards. Smith’s 13 rebounds matched a career-high set earlier this season at Belmont. Smith also added nine points in the losing effort.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sophomore Alex Phillips recorded her first career double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Bears fell to Florida Gulf Coast, 87-52 in Monday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at Alico Arena. FGCU extended its unbeaten streak at home to 32 games and moved to 14-0 (7-0 A-Sun) while Mercer fell to 1-15 (1-6 A-Sun). Phillips set career highs in points (16), field goals made (8) and minutes played (35) while also providing a key play that ener-gized the visiting bench early in the second half. With Mercer trailing 42-30, Phillips closed out on FGCU’s Kelsey Jacobson as she attempted a three pointer from the wing. Phil-lips swatted the shot, resulting in a fast break jumper for the Mer-cer forward on the other end, igniting the Mercer bench. Phillip’s play came as part of a 10-0 charge for Mercer that brought the Bears to within four (42-38) with 15:20 to go. FGCU proved resilient however, responding with its own 10-0 run. FGCU’s surge exemplified why the Eagles hold the second-highest all-time winning percentage at home among Division I teams.

MACON, Ga. – Three Mercer players scored in double figures, but UNF’s Jadhken Kerr hit a 15-foot jumper with two seconds left to lift the Ospreys to a 56-54 victory over the Bears in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the Univer-sity Center. UNF captured its fourth-straight win and moved to 6-11 (4-4 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped its 11th-straight game and fell to 1-16 (1-7 A-Sun). Mercer freshman Briana Williams led all scorers with 15 points while chipping in five rebounds and four assists. Freshman Brittnee Hazel netted 13 points and collected seven rebounds while sophomore Alex Phillips tallied 10 points, four rebounds and a pair of blocks in the loss.

At the line for two with 10 seconds to go, Phillips cashed in on her second free-throw attempt to tie the game at 54-54 with 9.6 seconds to go. After UNF coach Mary Tappmeyer called timeout, Givens moved the ball up court and found Kerr, who nestled into a soft-spot in the Mercer zone defense. Kerr’s jumper from just outside the paint was true, sending the visitors home with a two point vic-tory.

MACON, Ga. – Freshman guard Briana Williams netted a Univer-sity Center-record 41 points as Mercer fell in overtime to Jackson-ville, 80-78 in Monday evening’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game. Jacksonville moved to 9-9 (4-5 A-Sun) while the Bears dropped their 12th-straight and fell to 1-17 (1-8 A-Sun). Williams’ 41 points established the highest single-game output-for a men’s or women’s player in the University Center’s seven-year history. Williams’ topped James Florence’s record of 39 points - set versus Jacksonville on Feb. 16, 2007. Williams scored 23 of Mercer’s last 29 points including 19 of the team’s last 23 points in regulation. Mercer trailed by as many as 13 (53-40) with 14:53 to go in the second half before employing a 16-4 charge over the next 4:02 to bring the hosts within one. Williams fueled the Mercer charge, scoring 11 of the Bears’ 16 points, including a pair of three-point field goals.

In the final 16 seconds, Mercer had two solid looks at layups but could not cash in on either attempt. Jacksonville’s Williams missed another free throw with three seconds remaining, but Mercer could not get off a last-second heave.

KENNESAW, Ga. – Freshmen Briana Williams and Brittnee Ha-zel combined for 33 points in Wednesday night’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game between Kennesaw State and Mer-cer. Kennesaw State ultimately captured a 79-56 win, its third-straight win at the KSU Convocation Center. Kennesaw State moved to 6-12 (3-7 A-Sun) while the Mercer loss dropped the team to 1-18 (1-9 A-Sun). Sophomore Alex Phillips notched her second career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Williams scored a team-high 17, marking the third-straight game the freshman has led the team in scoring. Williams’ 17 came on the strength of three-for-eight shooting from long range. Hazel netted 16 while adding seven rebounds, a block and a steal. Mercer took a 1-0 lead via a Phillips free throw before the Ken-nesaw State scored the games’ next five points. KSU led the entire way after erasing its 1-0 deficit.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Freshman guard Rebecca Clanton scored nine of her career-high 12 points in the second half as the Mercer fell to USC Upstate 74-63 in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the G.B. Hodge Center.

USC Upstate erased a four-point halftime deficit to move its record to 11-9 (7-4 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped its 10th-straight A-Sun game and dropped to 1-19 (1-10 A-Sun). Clanton’s 12 points came on four-of-five shooting from three-point range. Briana Williams led Mercer with 17 points while Brittnee Hazel chipped in 13 of her own. Freshman Sharnea Boykin dished a career-high 11 assists in the loss, pushing her conference-leading total to 121. Boykin has now tallied double-digit assists on four occasions.

The start of the half was a see-saw battle, with the opening 8:15 of the period featuring six tie scores and five lead changes. At the 13:09 mark, the Spartans held a 45-43 advantage when Phillips kicked the ball to Clanton for her second triple of the afternoon. Clanton’s trey would mark Mercer’s final lead of the afternoon.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Freshman Brittnee Hazel paced Mercer with 16 points on eight-of-12 shooting as the Bears suffered an 100-62 defeat at the hands of ETSU in Monday evening’s Atlantic Sun women’s Basketball game at the MSHA Athletic Center. ETSU claimed its fifth-straight win and moved to 13-9 (10-3 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped its 15th-straight game and fell to 1-20 (1-11 A-Sun). Mercer sophomores Alex Phillips and Sharmesia Smith joined Hazel in double figures, each scoring 10 points in the loss. Phil-lips added seven rebounds, a block and an assist while Smith grabbed five rebounds, notched one assist and one steal. After shooting 36.7% (11-of-30) from the field in the first half, Mercer shot 16-of-28 (57.1%) in the second stanza. ETSU shot 57.1% from the field the entire game, converting 40 of its 70 field goal attempts. The Lady Bucs were also eight-of-16 from three point range, led by junior Natalie Pickwell’s four long-range shots. Pickwell led all scorers with 20 points in 30 minutes of action.

MACON, Ga. – Mercer freshman Briana Williams poured in 35 points on 13-of-26 shooting as the Bears fell to Campbell, 77-64, in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the University Center. Campbell improved to 10-12 (9-4 A-Sun) with the win while Mer-cer fell to 1-21 (1-12 A-Sun). Williams scored 20 of her game-high 35 in the second half, in-cluding 17 in the final 11 minutes of play. Williams’ 35-point out-put marked the third time the freshman has topped the 30-point plateau. Her other two 30+ point performances came in a win at Belmont (32) and a loss versus Jacksonville (41). After Campbell took a six point lead into halftime, (34-28) each team played even through the opening 3:56 of the second half. At the 16:04 mark, freshman Brittnee Hazel established position in the low post, leading to a conventional three point play and trimming Campbell’s lead to 36-33. A three-pointer by Williams cut Campbell’s lead to seven with just 1:21 left in the game, but the Camels outscored Mercer 7-0 the rest of the way to secure the road win.

MACON, Ga. – Four Mercer players scored in double figures and the Bears survived a furious comeback from Kennesaw State to take an 82-76 overtime win on Thursday night at the University Center. Freshman Briana Williams led all scorers with 23 points while sophomore Alex Phillips contributed a career-high 20 points. Mercer snapped a 16-game losing streak and moved to 2-21 (2-12 A-Sun) while Kennesaw State fell to 7-15 (4-10 A-Sun). Three minutes into overtime, the teams had split 10 points and were tied for the seventh time of the evening. Mercer moved away from the 74-74 tie with six-straight points, four of which contributed by Phillips. Seven of Williams’ 23 points came in the extra period as she con-verted all three of her field goal attempts.

MACON, Ga. – Sophomore Alex Phillips netted 10 points and added eight boards as Mercer fell to Florida Gulf Coast, 76-45 in Saturday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the University Center.

FGCU took its sixth-straight win and moved to 20-1 (13-1 A-Sun) while Mercer fell to 2-22 (2-13 A-Sun).

After trailing by just 11 at the half (36-25), FGCU out-scored Mercer 40-20 in the second stanza behind 60 percent (15-25) shooting from the field.

Phillips was three-of-eight from the floor and four-of-six from the free throw line en route to her second-straight double-digit scoring game. The sophomore also contributed a pair of blocks in the losing effort.

FGCU forced Mercer into 23 turnovers and converted those er-rors into 23 points. The Eagles also held a 38-22 advantage in scoring in the paint.

Mercer freshman Briana Williams scored a team-high 12 points and collected two rebounds in the loss.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Freshman Brittnee Hazel paced Mercer with 16 points on eight-of-12 shooting as the Bears suffered an 100-62 defeat at the hands of ETSU in Monday evening’s Atlantic Sun women’s Basketball game at the MSHA Athletic Center. ETSU claimed its fifth-straight win and moved to 13-9 (10-3 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped its 15th-straight game and fell to 1-20 (1-11 A-Sun). Mercer sophomores Alex Phillips and Sharmesia Smith joined Hazel in double figures, each scoring 10 points in the loss. Phil-lips added seven rebounds, a block and an assist while Smith grabbed five rebounds, notched one assist and one steal. After shooting 36.7% (11-of-30) from the field in the first half, Mercer shot 16-of-28 (57.1%) in the second stanza. ETSU shot 57.1% from the field the entire game, converting 40 of its 70 field goal attempts. The Lady Bucs were also eight-of-16 from three point range, led by junior Natalie Pickwell’s four long-range shots. Pickwell led all scorers with 20 points in 30 minutes of action.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Freshman Briana Williams scored 21 of her game-high 25 points in the first half as Mercer dropped a 70-49 decision to Atlantic Sun conference foe North Florida on Friday at UNF Arena. UNF improved to 12-14 (10-7 A-Sun) while Mercer dropped to 2-24 (2-15 A-sun). Sophomore Alex Phillips finished just shy of a double-double effort, collecting eight points and 13 rebounds in 34 minutes of action. Phillips’ 13 rebounds tied a career-high set at Belmont on Dec. 5, 2009. In the first four minutes of the second half, Mercer missed three of four shots and had four turnovers, allowing UNF to move out to a 41-30 lead. Mercer head coach Susie Gardner attempted to quell the UNF momentum with a timeout, but her strategy proved ineffective and the Ospreys extended their advantage to 19 (51-32) with 12:46 to go. UNF would lead by double digits the rest of the way.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Freshman guard Ariel Barnes scored a career-high 13 points as the Bears were edged by Jacksonville, 64-61 in Sunday afternoon’s Atlantic Sun women’s basketball game at the Veterans Memorial Center. With the loss, Mercer fell to 2-25 (2-16 A-Sun) and was mathe-matically eliminated from contention for the Atlantic Sun confer-ence tournament. Jacksonville moved to 13-14 (8-10 A-Sun) with its second-straight win. With 1:35 left, Jacksonville had taken its biggest lead of the second half (61-57) before Mercer’s Brittnee Hazel collected an offensive rebound and scored a put-back.

A free throw for Jacksonville made the Dolphins’ lead three with 26 tics remaining and Mercer freshman Briana Williams missed a three pointer that would have tied the game. Barnes came away with the rebound and scored quickly, closing the Bears to within one (62-61) with seven seconds left.

Jacksonville’s Jessica George hit two free throws and Boykin’s last-second heave came up short, allowing the Dolphins to es-cape with the victory.

MACON, Ga. – Freshman Briana Williams scored 23 points and Mercer held a 39-35 edge in rebounding, but Belmont escaped the University Center with a 67-62 win in Thursday night’s Atlan-tic Sun women’s basketball game. Mercer dropped to 2-26 (2-17 A-Sun) while Belmont jumped to 9-19 (6-13 A-Sun). Williams tallied 17 of her 23 in the second half and overtime pe-riods but Belmont erased a six-point second half deficit en route to the victory. Belmont’s Haley Nelson and Mercer’s Sharmesia Smith traded layups in the final 42 seconds of play, sending the teams to an extra period. In the overtime, Williams drained a pair of free throws that placed the hosts on top, 62-61 with 1:39 to go. Williams’ second free throw capped the Mercer scoring, as Belmont finished the game on a 6-0 run aided by four-of-four shooting from the char-ity stripe. As a team, Mercer had two turnovers and could only muster one shot in the final minute play.

MACON, Ga. - Freshmen Briana Williams and Brittnee Hazel com-bined for 35 of Mercer’s 67 points as the Bears suffered a 70-67 defeat at the hands of Lipscomb on Saturday afternoon at the University Center. The loss marked Mercer’s final contest of the season and dropped the Bears to 2-27 (2-18 A-Sun). Lipscomb wrapped up its regular season at 9-20 (6-14 A-Sun). Williams led all scorers with 18 points while Hazel chipped in 17 of her own. Hazel also added eight rebounds and three steals in the losing effort. The final 7:08 of play featured five lead changes and three tie scores as the teams exchanged blows. With just over a minute left, a layup by Hazel gave the hosts a one point edge (67-66) and ignited the University Center crowd. On Lipscomb’s next possession Anna Bowers was fouled and drained two free throws to move the visitors back in front.

Mercer had the opportunity to take the lead multiple times in the final minute, but missed each of its final three field goal at-tempts. Mercer outscored Lipscomb in both points off turnovers (25-20) and second chance points (19-13).

Note: Mercer played the 1971-72 season as a member of the Southern Women’s Athletic Conference before joining the Georgia AIAW for the 1972-73 season. The Bears played in the GAIAW through the 1981-82 season before competing as an independent until 1985-86 when Mercer became a charter member of the New South Women’s Athletic Conference. The NSWAC merged with the Trans-America Athletic Conference in July 1991, which changed its name to the Atlantic Sun Conference in July 2001.

MERCER LEGENDS A list of legendary players at Mercer begins with Andrea Congreaves. Congreaves re-wrote the Mercer record book during her dazzling four-year career. She was a three-time Conference Player of the Year, and a member of the 1993 Kodak All-America team. She is the all-timeleader in points, field goals and field goal percentage. She is sec-ond in free throws made, blocked shots, three-pointers made and attempted, third in rebounds and rebounding average. She led the Bears to back-to-back conference champion-ships in 1990-1991 and 1991-1992. She led the nation in scoring in 1991-92 (33.0 ppg) and 1992-93 (31.0 ppg). Congreaves’ incredible season also included a field goal percentage of .633, 11.6 rebounds per game and 77 three-point field goals made on 185 attempts for a .416 percentage. Congreaves went on to play four seasons in the WNBA after her Mercer career, spending two seasons with the Charlotte Sting and two seasons with the Orlando Miracle. She is also the

only Bear to have herjersey retired, as she was honored with a ceremony in 1993. Vivian Humphrey is Mercer’s second all-time leading scorer with 2,284 points during her career between 1977-81. She held the top spot on the scoring list until Congreaves claimed the throne. Humphrey ranks second all-time in field goals made (925), and first in field goals attempted (2,125) as well as free throws made, edging out Congreaves with a career total of 434. Humphrey led the Bears during one of the most success-ful periods in the program’s history. During the 1978-79 season, the Bears won 22 games with just 10 losses under coach Jane Fontaine and went on to win the GAIAW state championship. After that season, the Bears came back strong to defend their title. The team posted a program-high 29 wins during the 1979-80 campaign. The Bears rolled through the GAIAW Tour-nament, and into the Region III tournament. The Bears hosted Texas in the AIAW National Tournament. The 81-80 loss ended Mercer’s season, but not before adding another title, and a 12-

game win streak before the loss to Texas. That season also marked the beginning of another Mer-cer legend, Emma Mumphrey. She finished her career as the third member of the 2,000-point club with 2,098. Mumphrey is second in field goal percentage, finishing her career with 859 made on 1,524 attempts, a .564 shooting percentage, a mark that stood until the 1992-93 season. Vivian Humphrey and Emma Mumphrey made a power-ful combination, but they were not the first “Dynamic Duo” to

wear the Orange and Black. From 1971-75, Myrel Huskey and Sybil Blalock formed a scoring force that helped Mercer to the most dominant four-year run in the program’s history. Huskey (1,867) and Blalock (1,856) rank fourth and fifth respectively on the scoring list, and were the first players to record 1,000 points in their career. Under head coach Peggy Col-lins, the Bears went87-13, a .870 winning percentage. Myrel Huskey held the top spot on Mercer’s all-time scoring list for less than a decade, when Vivian Humphrey sur-passed her career total, but her name still remains near the top in every major offensive category. Sybil Blalock, former Mercer head coach and current SWA, has achieved many accolades that are still remembered throughout the Mercer record books. She was honored as a mem-ber of the WNIT All-America Team in 1975. Cindy Brogdon played only two seasons for Mercer, but she made an impact in her time here. She averaged 30.1 points per game for each season, the third highest total in school history. Brogdon finished with 1,746 points, placing her sixth on the scoring list. But her two individual seasons of 902 points in 1975-76 and 844 points in 1976-77 stood as the best single seasons until Congreaves’ remarkable 1991-92 season. After her Mercer career she played for the 1976 U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team in Montreal. Brogdon aver-aged 5.8 points and 2.0 rebounds, helping the American squad bring home a silver medal.

Andrea Congreaves is the only player to be named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year three times. She also earned a spot on all-conference team each of her four years at Mercer.

Myrel Huskey was Mercer’s first player to score 1,000 ca-reer points and currently ranks fourth with 1,867 points.

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION Mercer women’s basketball began play in 1970 and it didn’t take long for the program to find success. In just its second year of existence, the Bears finished with a 21-1 record in 1971-72 and claimed the regular-season and tournament titles in the Southern Women’s Athletic Conference. The Bears went on a run of six-straight winning seasons under their first head coach, Peggy Collins, who is Mercer’s all-time winningest coach with 133 wins and has an .801 winning percentage. After a one season stumble in 1977-78 under new coach Jane Fontaine, the Bears rebounded quickly winning 51 games in the next two seasons under Fon-taine. In 1978-79, under the direction of Fontaine, the Bears won the GAIAW state championship. That team was led by one of the legends of Mercer women’s basketball, Vivian Humphrey. Humphrey is the second leading scorer in Mercer history, and is one of three members of the exclu-sive 2,000-point club. Charlotte Nicholson was finishing up her brilliant career with 1,256 points, 11th in the Mercer record books. Kathy Single-tary, eighth on Mercer’s all-time scoring list, was in her first year with the Bears. Mercer went 22-10 that season, notching victories over Georgia, Georgia Southern, Florida State, Florida, Ole Miss and Auburn. The Bears defeated Valdosta State for the GAIWA state title, but would lose to them in the third round of the Region IIITournament. The Bears kept right on rolling during the 1979-80 season, set-ting a school record with 29 wins. Humphrey returned to lead the Bears along with Singleton. That season saw the emergence of another future legend of Mercer, Emma Mumphrey. Mumphrey would finish her career with 2,098 points, third on Mercer’s all-time list. That Mercer team came out of the blocks on fire, ripping off seven wins in a row. The Bears had a one game stumble at Mississippi Col-lege, then notched three more wins over Auburn, Stetson and Pittsburgh. The Bears suffered back-to-back losses only once the entire season, against Clemson and Ole Miss. They went on a tear to end the season and went into the GAIAW Tournament having won 12 in a row, the third-longest win streak in the program’s history. Mercer’s tournament run consisted of wins over Valdosta State and Georgia Southern to win the GAIAW State Title, before moving on to the Region III tournament in Cleveland, Miss. Mercer swept the Region III tournament with wins over South Alabama, Florida State and Georgia Southern. This put the Bears at home hosting Texas in the AIAW National Tournament, after a tight game, the Longhorns prevailed 81-80 ending Mercer’s season, but the success of the 1979-1980 season still remains. Mercer went through some rebuilding after that magical season, but the success returned to Porter Gym for the 1984-85 season. The Bears were led by the senior leadership of Anita Meadows. She finished her ca-reer with a total of 1,088 points, which is 15th all-time for the Bears. Throw on top of that the strong play of freshmen and eventual 1,000-point club member Dawn Jackson (1,120 points, 14th all-time). Their 24 wins equaled the second highest total in school history. They compiled a 14-game win streak, a mark only be topped by the remarkable 19-0 start for the 1971-72 squad. This team found national success on a level the program had never seen before, reaching the NCAA Division II Tournament and continuing their run of great play. A victory over North Alabama clinched the NCAA South Championship, followed by a victory over Quinnipiac in Hamden, Conn., in the NCAA Quarterfinals put the Bears into the Final Four in Springfield, Mass. Central Missouri squared off against the Bears and their 14-consecutive wins, but Central Missouri prevailed 82-79.

Mercer’s most decorated player brought home the next two championship banners. Andrea Congreaves patrolled the hardwood of Porter Gym from 1989-1993, and filled up the stat sheets with 2,796 points, 1,107 field goals made including 153 3-pointers, 429 free throws made and 1,141 rebounds. She was supported by Stephany Raines during the two champi-onship seasons; Raines is by no surprise, the all-time leader in assists with 851. Mercer opened its 1990-91 season against perennial powerhouse

Old Dominion, on the road, under the guidance of first year head coach Lea Henry. The Bears went into ODU and walked out victorious and carried that momentum to a 4-0 start. After the fast start, the Bears lost two in a row for the only time during their title run. The Bears finished 1990-91 with an 18-9 overall record, and a 10-2 conference record. Congreaves led the nation in scoring average that season, with 33 points per contest. The Bears lost to Florida A&M in the conference tournament, ending their season, but not before the first New South Women’s Athletic Conference banner in program history adorned the rafters of Porter Gym. The 1991-92 Bears started slowly by dropping the first two games to Tennessee State and South Florida. After drawing back to .500 with consecutive wins over Marist and UCF, the Bears fell to 2-4 after two straight losses to Georgia and College of Charleston. Then things started clicking. The Bears ran off nine straight victories, a loss to Southeastern Louisiana slowed the roll, but it did not stop it. Mercer reeled off eight more wins, then traded consecutive losses to Florida International and Florida Atlantic with consecutive wins over Georgia State and Florida A&M. Mercer clinched a share of the regular season title yet again, this time sharing with Florida International as both finished 10-2. The Bears fin-ished 20-8 that season, Andrea Congreaves led the NCAA in scoring once again, averaging 31.0 points. She won her second Conference Player of the Year award, and set the stage for her selection to the Kodak All-America team in 1993.

The 1985 team that reached the Division II Final Four gave Mercer is first appearance in a national tournament since the

1980 squad played int he AIAW National Tournament.

Note: Mercer played its home games at various venues in Macon until the University Center opened on Feb. 1, 2004. The program split games between Porter Gym on campus and the Macon Coliseum until the late 1990s when some games were shifted to the Macon Centreplex. Beginning with the 2000-01 season, the Bears returned to campus for a majority of their home games but would face Homecoming opponents at the Macon Coli-seum or Centreplex.

THIS IS MERCER

SPOHOMOREBRITTNEE HAZEL

What distinguishes a good university from a great universityextends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus. The competence and character of an institution’s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured.

As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation.

Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mer-cer’s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challengesof reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of promi-nent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of the nation’s most

popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America.

The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Phar-macy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, the

School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mer-cer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins.

Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

The Barnes & Noble bookstore is

located in Mercer Village and also

The Lofts at Mercer Village provides beautiful, apartment-style

living adjacent to campus.

The University Center houses all 17 of Mercer’s NCAA Division I ath-letics offices, training rooms and team rooms. Opened in 2004, it is a state-of-the-art facility that can hold up 3,200 spectators for basketball and volleyball.

UNIVERSITY CENTERMercer broke ground on the centerpiece of the Macon campus in the fall of 2001. The

University Center has become one of the premier venues in the nation for college bas-ketball and volleyball. The $40 million facility has become the focal point for almost all

campus activities, providing students with an area for study, a food court, and a coffee shop.

The “Street” is a tree-lined, sunlit indoor patio, providing students with an area to study, socialize, and dine on cuisine from the food court, including Chick-Fil-A, Subway and Burger Studio. Bear Rock Cafe is a coffee shop and internet café for students to use either with high-speed connections throughout the floor area with the wireless internet connections, or with Bear Rock’s computers. Students can also relax and watch either of two flat screen televisions, or relax outside on the Patio overlooking the Greek Village and campus.

Both students and athletes have state of the art fitness facilities, with weight train-ing equipment and cardiovascular theater, as well as a 1/8 mile indoor track. The track overlooks the lower level, which has three full-size basketball and volleyball courts for intramural and recreation use.

Another distinguishing feature of the University Center is the 25-meter indoor swim-ming pool for use by both students and teams for lap swim and water strength and speed drills. Athletes have a separate weight room for use during team workouts with all the latest free weight and weight machine technology. Athletes and trainers also

have the use of a complete athletic training room, with the latest in injury treatment and prevention equip-ment.

The University Center is also home for Mercer University Athletics, with offices for all the athletics administra-tion and coaching staff. These offices allow potential student-athletes to see first hand the facility that will be their home base for their career at Mercer.

The University Center, on top of all the other amenities, is the home for Mercer basketball and volleyball. There are two full courts, one designated as the practice court, and the main floor in the center of the arena in the University Center. The main court is surrounded by 3,200 seats for basketball and volleyball, but can be ex-panded for up to 4,080 with floor seating for concerts. Three skyboxes at mid-court provide a birds-eye view of the action on the floor.

The main entrance into the Arena at the University Center is Mercer’s Heritage Hall. This is a collection recogniz-ing some of Mercer’s most important alumni, faculty and staff. There are many different displays, including the Mercer Hall of Fame which honors the accomplishments of Mercerians through the years. Displays also include

the history of Mercer Athletics and a History of Mercer itself.

athletes. It is staffed by two full-time athletic

Attached to each locker room is a player lounge, complete with a big-screen TV, sound

system and comfortable seating.

Another state-of-the-art addition to Mercer, the weight room is home to power lifting stations, abundant free weights and state-of-the art cardio equipment.

Each of Mercer’s team sports has a an up-to-date locker room in the University Center. The locker rooms have full shower facilities.

Macon, Georgia is the host of the annual International Cherry Blossom Festival, a 10-day event commemorating the beautiful Yoshino cherry trees that bring color to the Macon landscape each spring. Macon boasts more Yoshino cherry trees than even Washington, D.C. The annual festival features special performances and activities and draws thousands of people from literally all over the world.

Through the revitalization of Macon’s historic downtown area, local business owners host events like Taste of Downtown, where downtown food vendors - from gourmet to down-home cooking - display their specialties and First Friday, where businesses unite to bring suburban residents into downtown for a night of fun, food and enter-tainment.

MACON’S MUSICHERITAGE

Macon, Georgia, fosters a rich music heritage which is evidenced at vari-ous points around town. Otis Redding’s statue (at right) sits by the dock of the bay as a reminder of the Macon-ites many contributions to the music industry. (Below) The Bell House at 315 College Street was the site for the cover of Macon residents The Allman Brothers self-titled first album (and the Allman Brothers Band Museum is still located in Macon on Vineville Ave!).

MERCER BASKETBALLREACHING OUTBeing part of the Mercer women’s basketball team requires more than production on the court. The coaches and players are a consistent presence in the community, shar-ing the values and principles of Mercer University.

WILLIAM D. UNDERWOODPresident Underwood has led Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and develop-ment for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th Presi-dent in 2006, enrollment has increased by 18 percent to more than 8,200 students. Mercer has launched a second medi-cal school campus (in Savan-nah), initiated a master’s-level physician assistant program and a doctoral-level program in physical therapy and added

Ph.D. programs in Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing.

Reflecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer in 2009-10 met the criteria established by the Carnegie Foun-dation for reclassification as a research-doctoral university. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approximately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expen-ditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scien-tists have for the first time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mer-cer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance.

The University has intensified its long-standing commit-ment to service-learning and community engagement un-

MERCER UNIVERSITYPRESIDENT

der President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to support con-tinued revitalization of the College Hill Corridor between campus and downtown Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mission program, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an ex-emplary approach to addressing a specific global chal-lenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Georgia to receive the Carnegie Foun-dation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.”

Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the pres-tigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the Ameri-

can Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation.

President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree summa cum laude by the Uni-versity of Illinois College of Law in 1985, where he graduated as class salutatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following gradua-tion, he clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law firm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William.

DIRECTOR OFATHLETICS

JIM COLEJim Cole assumed the duties of Director of Athletics for Mercer University on July 1, 2010. Prior to that, he served as MU’s Senior Associate Director of Athletics for External Affairs, heading up the Mercer Athletics Foundation (the fund-raising arm for Bears’ athletics) concurrent with his time as a State Representative in Georgia.

A native of Augusta, Cole entered Mercer on an academic scholarship in 1990 and let-tered in baseball from 1990 to 1993. He was recipient of the Charles C. Morgan Outstanding Student-Athlete Award and graduated with honors from the University in 1993.

Cole was drafted as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1993 and was named the franchise’s “Organizational Player of the Year” and a finalist for the TOPPS Minor League “Player of the Year Award” in 1994.

After an injury ended his professional baseball career, he returned to Mercer in 1997 to earn his MBA while serving as a graduate assistant and pitching coach for the baseball team. In 1998 he served as pitching coach for the Madison Black Wolves minor league team in Madison, Wis. Cole then entered private business before being elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2004 (and serving in that capac-ity until 2010).

Cole served as the legislative voice under the Gold Dome for the constituents of House District 125 - which includes Jas-per County and parts of Monroe, Jones and Lamar Counties. His legislative duties included membership on the Appropri-ations Economic Development Sub-Committee (to oversees important areas of the budget that deal with agriculture, community affairs, economic development and transporta-tion). In addition, Cole served on the Rules, Judiciary Non-Civil and State Planning and Community Affairs Committees.

Gov. Sonny Perdue appointed Cole to serve as senior admin-istration floor leader in early 2009, having served formerly as assistant floor leader from 2007-2008.

Even after leaving the political arena to assume the role as Mercers A.D., Cole was called on to continue his commitment of service to the people of the state of Georgia. In 2010, he was elected by his former constituents in Georgia’s House and Senate to represent the 8th Congressional District on the state’s Department of Transportation Board.

Cole is an active community leader throughout the state. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. A graduate of Leader-ship Georgia, he is a member of Forsyth United Methodist Church.

Cole is married to the former Gaylyn Lawson of Forsyth, where they live with their two children, Caroline and Lawson.

The Mercer Athletics Foundation was created in 2007 as the fund-raising arm for Mercer Uni-versity Athletics. Since its inception, members of the foundation have contributed over $1.5 million. These funds have been used to under-take such projects as hiring a full-time strength and conditioning coach, enhancing recruiting budgets, providing additional scholarships and to help increase salaries to attract and retain outstanding coaches.

Mission Statement:

2010-11 MAF President

Message from the MAF President: “It’s a great time to ‘Be the Bear’ as a part of the Mercer University athletics family! There are many exciting things currently going on in Bears Athletics...with even more on the horizon!

“The experiences I gained as a Mercer student and athlete have proven invaluable in both my personal and professional life. Mercer offers its students an education - both on and off the field - that is as functional as it is respected in today’s world. A Mercer degree tells people that you have been a part of something special.

“The Mercer Athletic Foundation’s goal is to enhance and grow the ‘athletic experience’ for the student-athletes who follow in the footsteps of those who, like myself, were fortunate enough to represent the Orange & Black in intercol-legiate athletics competition. Your gifts and contributions to the MAF are what make it possible for this to happen, so please consider how you can ‘Be the Bear’ today!”
