Dr. Tony Atwater President

Tony Atwater was appointed the fifth president of Norfolk State University on April 22, 2011. He previously served as a Senior Fellow of the American Associ-ation of State Colleges and Universities, a leadership association serving more than 400 public colleges and universities nationwide.

Atwater served as president and chief executive officer at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), a comprehensive,

doctoral/research university. It is the fifth largest university in Pennsylvania and the largest within the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. As president, he led a population of more than 14,600 students and nearly 1,700 employees; oversaw an annual university budget of $220 million; and supported six academic colleges and the School of Graduate Studies and Research. He also directed operations at three regional campuses.

Prior to serving as IUP president, he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Youngstown State University in Ohio. In this capacity, he oversaw academic programs, academic policy and academic assessment. He also provided leadership and strategic direction to approximately 750 faculty members, serving six academic colleges, the School of Graduate Studies and Research, and the library.

Other administrative assignments have included serving as dean of the College of Professional Studies and Education at Northern Kentucky University; chairperson of the Rutgers University Department of Journalism and Mass Media; and special assistant to the provost at the University of Connecticut. He also served as associate vice president for academic affairs at the University of Toledo.

Throughout his career, Atwater has assumed significant community leadership roles. These efforts include serving on the Governor’s Task Force on Youth and Substance Abuse Prevention in Kentucky; the Board of Trustees of the Northwest Ohio Public Television Foundation; and the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce. He was also a member of the 2000-01 delega-tion of Leadership Cincinnati and the Ad-visory Board of KeyBank in the Northeast Ohio Region. Additionally, he was past president of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.

A native of Nashville, Tenn., Atwater earned a Ph.D. in communication research from Michigan State University in 1983, where he was the recipient of a competitive doctoral fellowship.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDEAD MARTY MILLER

Marty Miller Director of Athletics

Marty Miller has been called many things during his tenure at Norfolk State Uni-versity. Some have called him a rock. Oth-ers have referred to him as one of Norfolk State’s greatest ambassadors. Regardless of the label, what’s clear is that Miller has served his alma mater in various capacities for more than 40 years, providing NSU with stability in times of need.

His professional career at Norfolk State has included stints in the areas of financial aid, career services, student affairs and ath-letics. After winning more than 700 games as the school’s baseball coach, Miller was named NSU’s acting athletics director on December 16, 2004. He was appointed to the permanent athletics director post on March 18, 2005.

Early in Miller’s tenure, he was confront-ed with many challenges, the biggest one being the hiring of a football coach. Miller and his search committee worked during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to find a football coach. The hard work paid off when the decision was made to hire Pete Adrian from Bethune-Cookman. With approval of then-President Dr. Marie V. McDemmond, Adrian became the first white head coach in any major sport at NSU and the second ever in MEAC football history.

Another major challenge upon Mill-er’s appointment as Director of Athletics was that he inherited a deficit exceeding $1,100,000. With his knowledge of financial

planning and strong administrative skills, the deficit was eliminated in FY10 and the de-partment ended the year with a positive fund balance of over $1,200,000.

The NSU athletics department has also made a number of major facilities improve-ments. With help from alumni, fans, friends and the Department of Facilities Manage-ment, the athletics department was able to raise funds to renovate and purchase new equipment for the weight room. In 2007, the school completed a major renovation of the NSU Softball Field, which included the instal-lation of new team dugouts and a press box. Bleacher renovations to Joseph Echols Hall were completed for the 2008-09 basketball season. A new state-of-the-art track surface was completed in the summer of 2010.

The crown jewel of the facility upgrades made in Miller’s first seven years as athlet-ics director is the purchase of two new Da-ktronics LED video display boards at William “Dick” Price Stadium. The project is sched-uled for completion during the summer of 2012.

Another highlight of his tenure as athlet-ics director includes NSU capturing the last eight Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports program in the conference. NSU has received a total of $185,000 for winning the awards. Miller was also presented in March 2006 with the Tom Fergusson Memorial Award, given annually to the area’s top sportsman by the Norfolk Sports Club. Miller also presided over one of the more historic years in NSU lore in 2011-12. An NSU-record six Spartan teams won MEAC titles, which included the first-ever championships for the football, men’s bas-ketball and women’s bowling teams during their Division I tenure. The men’s basketball team made its mark in NCAA Tournament history by scoring an upset of No. 2 seed Missouri in the second round of the NCAA West Region in March of 2012.

Miller is no stranger to winning. His career record as baseball coach was 718-543-3. Miller first started making a name for himself as a player at NSU from 1965-68. He hit .380 as a sophomore; .438 with eight dou-bles, two triples, three homers and 27 RBI as a junior; and .406 as a senior, when he be-came the first Spartan player to be named an NCAA College Division All-American. Miller was an All-CIAA baseball selection in 1967 and 1968, and led the nation in doubles in 1968.

Miller graduated with a bachelor’s

degree in mathematics in 1969. An ROTC member in college, Miller was commis-sioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army after he graduated. While on active duty, Miller was signed by the Minnesota Twins. Miller returned to his alma mater in 1972 as an assistant to baseball coach Bob An-drews. The next season, Miller inherited the head-coaching job, which he held until early in 2005.

Miller is the winningest baseball coach in CIAA history, having led the Spartans to a 584-374-3 record in their years in the league. Miller’s ledger in the CIAA includes 17 con-ference championships, including seven in a row from 1987-93; 12 post-season appear-ances; 15 CIAA Coach of the Year awards; six All-Americans and 22 players signed to pro contracts. He also won the 1980 NAIA District 19 Coach of the Year award after his team won the District 19 title. Between 1993-97, Miller won five consecutive Louis-ville Slugger Awards, given to championship coaches. He was one of a select few base-ball coaches to receive the award for five consecutive years.

In 1997, NSU honored Miller by building the Marty L. Miller Baseball Field. One year later, Miller led NSU to the MEAC Tourna-ment championship round in the Spartans’ first year in the league. He was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2000, and NSU reached the championship round again in 2001.

The year 2003 was also a special one for Miller. In February, Miller was inducted into the CIAA’s John B. McLendon Hall of Fame. In May, Miller earned his 700th career win with the Spartans when sixth-seeded NSU upset No. 2 Delaware State in the MEAC tournament. In August, Miller the player was honored as one of eight inductees into the Norfolk State University Athletics Founda-tion Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller was also inducted into the Hamp-ton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also chosen to serve in March 2011 on the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame Committee and is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court. In October 2012, Miller was inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller, a native of Danville, Va., is a cur-rent member and past president of the Nor-folk Sports Club. He and his wife Liz have one son, Marty Eric, a former NSU outfielder.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDENSU ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS

The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experienced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past seven years (2005-12). This period of progress has been highlighted by improvements in virtually every area critical to transforming the NSU athletics program into a highly competitive program that will consistently challenge for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and NCAA Division I championships. The catalyst for these advancements has been Marty Miller, who was appointed athletics director at NSU in December 2004 and will continue to lead the Spartan athletic program for at least the next five years. Miller be-lieves that the mission of the athletics program is an extension of the mission of Norfolk State University. He places an emphasis on areas that impact the welfare of student-athletes. Improving graduation rates, gender equity, and the retention of student-athletes are equally – if not more – important, than winning conference and national championships. However, the initiatives designed to enhance the student-athlete experi-ence and improve the overall administrative process have been successful due to the achievements of the teams and individual student-athletes. Perhaps the biggest achievement came in early 2009, when the athletics department was recertified to receive NCAA accreditation for the next 10 years. By achieving certification status, NSU is considered to be operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA’s Division I membership. Numerous staff and coaching hires have been made to enhance the de-partment’s efficacy. New personnel have been hired in the areas of academic support, compliance, business operations and development to meet the growing demand in those departments. Head coaches have been hired in every sport since Miller took over, with great success across the board. Pete Adrian has orchestrated the steady progress of the football team, which culminated in the program’s first-ever MEAC title and NCAA Division I playoff appearance in 2011. Men’s basketball coach Anthony Evans kept the banner year for NSU rolling after leading the Spartans to the MEAC champi-onship in 2012 and perhaps the most defining moment in the history of NSU athletics: an upset of No. 2 seed and nationally-ranked No. 3 Missouri in the NCAA tournament second round. Kenneth Giles’ cross country and track teams have dominated the MEAC, amassing 20 conference titles since 2005, while Wilhelmenia Harrison led NSU to its first-ever bowling champion-ship in 2012. Claudell Clark, meanwhile, helped guide the baseball team to a runner-up finish at the MEAC Championships in 2008 and 2011. Brandon Duvall was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after guiding the volleyball team to its best overall and MEAC record in Division I. Heidi Cavallo led the Spartan softball team to just its second winning conference season during the MEAC era in 2012. The accomplishments of NSU stu-dent-athletes in the classroom since 2005 have been equally impressive. The number of student-athletes annu-ally named to the MEAC Commission-er’s All-Academic Team has steadily increased the last several years, reaching a record 67 in 2011-12.

Defensive back Don Carey be-came the first Spartan football player to be drafted in 13 years when the Browns selected him

in the 2009 draft.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDETHE YEAR OF THE SPARTAN

NSU Athletics Director Marty L. Miller proclaimed that the 2011-12 school year would be “The Year of the Spartan” even before it began. His words proved to be prophetic as Spartan athletic teams brought home six (6) Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference titles – the biggest yearly haul in school history.

The NSU men’s cross country and track and field programs captured a yearly sweep of the MEAC titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field for the fourth consecutive year. But that is nothing new – led

by head coach Kenneth Giles, the Spartan men’s cross country and track pro-grams have secured 25 MEAC championships in the last 13 years.

Meanwhile, the Spartan football team surprised the so-called experts by winning its first-ever MEAC title and reaching the Division I FCS playoffs for the first time. Coach Pete Adrian’s team finished 9-2 and reached as high as

No. 19 in the national FCS rankings, the highest in the history of the program.

But the NSU men’s basketball team was the squad that left an indeli-ble mark not only in school record books, but in NCAA lore. Coach Anthony Evans’ Spartans won their first-ever MEAC title in early March. One week later, NSU pulled one of the biggest stunners in modern day NCAA Tournament history by becoming just the fifth No. 15 seed to ever defeat a No. 2 seed, shocking Missouri 86-84 in

a West Region second-round game. The Spartans finished the year with a school Division I-era record 26 victories.

Just two days after the Missouri upset, NSU secured yet another MEAC title as Wilhelmenia Harrison’s women’s bowling team also captured its first-ever crown.

Spartan athletes and coaches also had a banner year individually:• Seven athletes earned All-America honors• Three athletes won MEAC Player of the Year awards• Four athletes won MVP accolades at their respective MEAC championship events• Two coaches (Wilhelmenia Harrison, Pete Adrian) were named MEAC Coach of the Year• Three coaches (Harrison, Kenneth Giles, Anthony Evans) were named

Most Outstanding Coach at their respective MEAC championship events• And two coaches (Adrian, Evans) earned national Coach of the Year hon-

ors by at least one organization

Indeed, 2011-12 was definitely a year to “Behold!”

Amanda Haverman enters her third year as an assistant coach with the Norfolk State softball program for the 2013 season, following a pair of campaigns in which the Spartans dramatically improved their offensive prowess under her guidance. Haverman (pronounced HAV-er-men), who oversees NSU’s hitters, turned the team’s fortunes around in 2011 in just her first year. As a team, the Spartans hit 43 points higher than the previous season, finishing the year with a .294 average. Outfielders Danielle Wright and Jeanette Sauceda earned All-MEAC First Team honors and catcher Kathy Cortez was named to the second team. The Spartans then hit .277 as a team in 2012. Combined with its .294 clip the year before, NSU

has posted two of the three best team batting averages over the last 12 years in back-to-back seasons under Haverman’s watch. Also in 2012, two more Spartans earned All-MEAC status, including first-team outfielder Haley Ward. She became the first NSU rookie to earn first-team all-conference honors since 1992 and the first Spartan to hit .400 in a season since 1998. Ward finished 32nd in the nation and fourth among freshmen with a .409 batting average. Gipsy Ramirez earned second-team All-MEAC honors in 2012 at shortstop after raising her average 47 points from the previous year. In 2011 Wright ranked in the top six in the MEAC in batting average, runs, hits, home runs, total bases, slugging, on-base percentage and steals. Sauceda, meanwhile, bumped her average up 126 points from the previous year. Under Haverman’s coaching, NSU has had five regular starters hit over .300 in each of the last two years. Haverman was named to the assistant coach position in Sept. 2010, replacing Heidi Cavallo, who was promoted to interim head coach following the

2010 season. Prior to her arrival in Norfolk, Haverman spent two years at Virginia Inter-mont College during the 2009 and ’10 campaigns as the assistant softball coach. The Lady Cobras posted a winning record in the Appalachian Athletic Conference during both seasons Haverman was there, with the team advancing all the way to the championship game in 2010 before falling short against Union College. Under Haverman’s coaching, the Lady Cobras finished first in the confer-ence in home runs in 2010 and 16th in the nation among all NAIA schools. Haverman came to Virginia Intermont after a four-year career at East Tennessee State from 2005-08. While there, she was a two-time Atlantic Sun All-Academic honoree her junior and senior seasons and broke the school’s single-season record for RBI during her junior year in 2007. She earned All-Atlantic Sun first team honors in 2007 at designated player after tying the single-game record for hits and posting a team-best nine multi-RBI games during her junior campaign. Haverman was also a preseason All-Atlantic Sun selection at designated hitter prior to her senior year in 2008. In 2006 she was named to the Buzzworthy Classic All-Tournament Team and earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week honors on April 24. A St. Louis, Mo., native, Haverman graduated from Kirkwood High School in 2004 and was a four-year starter on the varsity softball team. She was named to the MSHAA Class 4A All-State Team in 2002 and to the St. Louis Suburban West All-Conference Team in ‘02 and ’03. In addition, Haver-man was a nominee for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award her senior year. She was later inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in March of 2009. A member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, Haverman has also worked as a volunteer assistant with the Kirkwood High softball team and as an instructor at the East Tennessee State Lady Bucs Softball Camp in addition to numerous other athletic and non-athletic organizations. Haverman graduated from East Tennessee State in 2008 with a bachelor’s in sports management and a minor in management.

Heidi Cavallo begins her third year as the head coach with the Norfolk State softball program in 2013 riding a huge wave of momentum both on the field and in recruiting circles. She has annual-ly inked early signing classes during her time with the Spartans, and in 2012 turned that recruiting prowess into one of NSU’s best-ever seasons in the Division I era. In their first season in the MEAC Northern Divi-sion, the Spartans finished third in the standings with a 12-6 record while posting a 24-25 overall mark. NSU tied for the second-most overall wins in its 15-year D-I history and ended the 2012 campaign with just its second winning season in MEAC play. Five players have earned All-MEAC status in the

last two years after none did so in the year prior to Cavallo taking over the team. Infielder Gipsy Ramirez earned second-team honors in 2012, while outfielder Haley Ward was tabbed to the first team. Ward became the first Spartan fresh-man to earn first-team all-conference honors since 1992, when NSU was in the Division II CIAA. Ward also became the first NSU player to hit above .400 in a season since the 1998 campaign, finishing 32nd in the nation in batting average at .409. Cavallo’s overall coaching record stands at 47-50 in two years, including 18-12 in the MEAC. The Spartans rebounded in 2011 under Cavallo’s first season, posting a 23-25 overall record and advancing to the MEAC Championship after missing out on the tournament the previous year. NSU increased its win total by nine and saw three players earn All-MEAC honors. NSU caught fire at the end of the season, posting a 13-game win streak, the most victories in a row since 1997 – and best in the Division I era. The Spar-tans saw their team batting average jump 43 points from 2010 while their team ERA also improved in Cavallo’s first season. Outfielders Danielle Wright and Jeanette Sauceda each earned a spot on the All-MEAC First Team, while catcher Kathy Cortez was named to the second team in her rookie season in 2011.

Under Cavallo’s direct tutelage – she was a standout pitcher during her collegiate days at Virginia Wesleyan – Casey Pomeroy became the workhorse on the staff, posting a 13-9 record with a 2.36 ERA, including a 0.92 ERA over the last 61.2 innings of the season. In 2012, Jamie Schulle set the school’s D-I record for strikeouts with 137, also the third-best total ever by an NSU pitcher. Prior to her appointment as head coach in May 2010 – she held the title of interim head coach for the 2011 season – Cavallo spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons as the assistant coach at NSU. Her main duties included developing the pitchers and outfielders and handling all aspects of recruiting. Cavallo came to NSU after serving as the head girls softball coach at Bayside High School in Virginia Beach, Va., from 2006-08. She also served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Virginia Wesleyan, for five seasons from 2002-04 and 2006-07. Cavallo’s responsibilities included working with the pitchers and catchers, recruiting, coordinating off-season conditioning and fundraising. Cavallo was an instructor at the VWC Lady Marlin Softball Camp for 11 years and was the director of softball camps and lessons at 7 Cities Sports in Virginia Beach for a year. She also had a four-year stint from 1999-2003 at Grand Slam USA in Virginia Beach, where she gave private pitching and hitting lessons. Cavallo had a stellar pitching career at Virginia Wesleyan from 1998-2001. She had a 112-54 career record and went 43-9 in the Old Dominion Athletic Con-ference. Cavallo was named VWC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year as a freshman in 1998 and made the all-state team in 1998 and 1999. She was a four-time ODAC all-conference pick and was the ODAC Most Valuable Player in 1998. She currently ranks No. 1 in school history with 22 career shutouts, second in career strikeouts (382) and third in career innings pitched (532) and earned run average (1.91). Additionally, she holds four of the top seven single-season strikeout totals at Virginia Wesleyan. Cavallo was a standout pitcher at Bayside High School from 1994-97. She was named the school’s Player of the Year and earned all-state honors as a junior in 1996. Cavallo also made the All-Beach District and All-Eastern Region teams her junior and senior years. Her career pitching record at Bayside stood at 45-5. Cavallo earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Virginia Wes-leyan in 2001. She and her husband Joey, a VWC alumnus and former baseball player, live in Virginia Beach. The couple has one daughter, Ashlyn (7).

The NSU Softball Field serves as the on-campus site for all Spartan home softball games. The field has bleacher seating for 500 fans and is wheelchair accessible. An 8-foot permanent fence encircles the outfield and is 200 feet from home plate down the lines and to straight-away center field. An enclosed batting cage is located on the third-base side of the facility. A pitchers’ warm-up area sits in front of a large lighted scoreboard beyond the left-field fence.

The NSU Softball Field is also one of the only facilities in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with lighting for night games. The complex underwent a major renovation in the summer and fall of 2007 to add cinderblock home and visitors’ dugouts, additional bathrooms in both dug-outs and an elevated press box to the existing facility. The press box also serves as the main office for both softball coaches.

The field is just a short walk from NSU’s sports medicine and strength and conditioning depart-ments. Parking is readily available behind the third base side of the field, and bathroom facilities for fans are located at the NSU Tennis Complex right across the street behind home plate. The facility, and the entire NSU campus, is easily reachable from the surrounding area by I-264.

The NSU Softball Field was showcased on national television for the first time on May 5, 2007, as the Spartans defeated perennial MEAC power Florida A&M in a live broadcast on ESPNU. NSU hosted ESPNU for the second year in a row on April 30, 2008 when the Spartans faced off against rival Hampton in a mid-week clash.

Spartans Ready to Take Next LeapToward MEAC Title in 2013

After picking up an additional nine wins over the previous year in 2011 and then finishing with just the second-ever winning record in MEAC play in 2012, the Norfolk State softball team is ready to turn yet another corner in 2013. With a good majority of the team back from last year and with several newcomers ready to step in and take over prominent roles, NSU is ready to battle it out for the top spot in the Northern Division and contend for that ever-elusive MEAC title. The Spartans lost only their starting center fielder and third baseman from a year ago, and a deeper pitching staff with a couple of new big bats in the lineup should easily bolster this year’s squad. A year after going 12-6 in the MEAC, finishing third in the Northern Division behind Delaware State and Coppin State, head coach Heidi Cavallo believes the Spartans are ready to make that extra push this year not only in the regular season but in the conference tournament in mid-May. The key, though, will be maintaining consistency throughout the year, something the Spartans lacked at times in 2012 evidenced by taking the first two games at league-leading Delaware State but then following it up by losing two of three to fifth-place Howard. “Consistency will be the key for us,” said Cavallo. “We know we can play at the highest level in the conference. We just need to be able to play how

we are capable of play-ing week in and week out.” NSU went 24-25 in 2012, tied for

the second-most wins in the Division I era,

with 14 of those 25 losses coming by

either one or two runs or in extra innings. With a more experi-enced team this year, the

coaching staff is looking for that

maturity to turn those one-run

losses into one-run wins and eventu-

ally something even bigger at the end of the year. “There’s no

reason we can’t be at the top,” Cavallo said. “They’ve come in hungry and have put in the work – this may

be the hardest-working team I’ve been around. We’ve mentally tough, we know physically we are capable of winning. “We should be at the top. I expect us to be there.”

Outfield Losing an All-MEAC caliber player in Danielle Wright in center field will force Cavallo to reshuffle her outfield a bit. Preseason MEAC Player of the Year Haley Ward (Virginia Beach, Va./Cox HS) will continue to man left field, while junior Morgan Boyd (Chesapeake, Va./Indian River HS) moves from right field to center to take advantage of her speed. “Morgan has changed as an outfielder; she’s really growing in that spot and has gotten a lot better,” said Cavallo of the converted high school infielder. “She covers a lot of ground. Then of course at the plate we look for her to continue to get on base and utilize her speed. “Haley is such a natural player – we saw that last year – and we are looking for her to pick right up where she left off. Along with Morgan, she can close gaps in the outfield very quickly and her arm strength is a plus. We do well when she does well.” The third outfield spot is expected to be taken over by freshman Heather Dunning (Virginia Beach, Va./Bayside HS), another former high school infielder and, like Boyd, one who is making the transition from a high school right-handed hitter to a left-handed slapper. “Heather has extremely high instincts for the game,” stated Cavallo. “She reads angles well, and it’s fun to watch her play out there. We are also counting on her to add productivity at the plate now that she’s become a power slapper from the left side.” With redshirt senior Gillian Giarrizzo (Suffolk, Va./James Madison) still not cleared to play after a setback in the fall from her ACL injury last spring, walk-on freshman Shekinah Stewart (Burke, Va./Gar-Field HS) will be the first reserve off the bench for NSU in the outfield. Stewart arrived at NSU with a solid background in softball and has adjusted well. “She is a great fit for our program, and she’s been a pleasant surprise for us,” Cavallo said. “Shekinah is an athlete and provides plenty of speed as a left-handed slapper. She’s really meshed well with the rest of the team.” The coaches are hoping to have Giarrizzo back by the middle of the year. After playing in just seven games last year and sitting out in 2011, the coaches know she can provide that spark the team lacked at times in the past. “We want her to be able to jump into the outfield mix right away when she gets back,” Cavallo said. “She wants big things for her senior year and so do we. She’ll have some rust from having only played seven actual games in the last three year, but the spark she provides our team is always there.” NSU’s other outfield option is senior Marjorie Pettitt (Virginia Beach, Va./Louisburg College), who saw time out in left field last year when Gia-rrizzo went down. “Marjorie is a player who really pushes the other players to get better, especially with conditioning and the team’s overall fitness. We need her to step up to the challenge with what we need her to do this year,” Cavallo stated.

Infield Some new faces could pop up at the corner spots, while the middle of the infield will see a couple of .300 hitters stake their claim to those starting positions again. Second-team All-MEAC shortstop Gipsy Ramirez (LaVerne, Calif./San Dimas HS) is only player who has been with the program for four years. She’ll be counted on to pick up where she left off last year, while sopho-more second baseman Alina Moriarty (Chesapeake, Va./Hickory HS) is looking to take the next step after a solid rookie campaign. “Gipsy is ready to go out with a bang,” said Cavallo. “We’re very proud of her, because she is one of those players who does anything you ask and

goes hard non-stop. She’s just one of those players who always gets the job done. “Alina is a much more mature player this year. She knows the game and has the skill, now it’s a matter of her really becoming an infield leader. The key for her will be to just go out and play, let her natural abilities take over, rather than trying to think too much about everything.” With those two spots locked down, a pair of power-hitting freshmen could very well hold down first and third base. Whitney Williams (Four Oaks, N.C./South Johnston HS) has perhaps the most powerful bat on the team, while Clara Quiñones (Norfolk, Va./Granby HS) has already made a smooth transition from her successful high school team. “Clara can pretty much start right away at third base for us. She’s not your typical freshman. She’s adjusted quickly and done everything we’ve asked her to do. She doesn’t get flustered, she hits well for a freshman and is in a good rhythm already,” said Cavallo. “Whitney is pushing to start at first. She has a big bat, great hand speed, and just so much power. She’s one of the strongest kids I’ve ever coached. Once she’s able to get mentally prepared and gain confidence, she will do big things here.” Junior Melina Valles (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes HS) is not quite ready to give up her starting first base spot to Williams, though. Valles provides better defense at first, although Williams has the bigger bat. “Melina is a very defensively sound player. She knows the game,” said Cavallo. “She just needs to pick her bat up.” Two other players capable of pushing for time at first are sophomore Robyn Mitchell (Chesapeake, Va./Grassfield HS) and junior Nikki Jones (Providence Forge, Va./New Kent HS). Those two, though, will be counted on more to provide relief pitching (Mitchell) and be the No. 1 option at designated hitter (Jones).

Jones, especially, could be anoth-er big bat for the Spartans. “Nikki is a clutch DH,” said Cavallo. “She can spot pinch hit; she did such a good job of that last year. Although

she could push for time at first, her main role will be in the batter’s

box for us.” Freshman Malinka Wal-ters (Toana, Va./Warhill

HS) will also back up both Moriarty and Ramirez at the

middle infield positions. “Malinka is a young player. It’s going to take her

some time to adjust to the col-lege game,” said Cavallo. “Right

now her main role is to provide depth in the middle infield until

she gets settled.”

CatcherJunior Kathy Cortez

(Pomona, Calif./Garey HS) re-

sumes her role as the starting

catcher for the Spar-

tans, and now that

she enters her third year with the program the coaching staff is looking for her to expand her role with the team. “We are putting more pressure on her to step up this year,” said Ca-vallo. “We expect a lot out of her, and the good thing is she knows what to expect out of herself. She works well with our pitching staff, which is going to be key with our more veteran staff this year.” Backing up Cortez is senior Chelsea Davis (Tappahannock, Va./Louisburg College), with Quiñones also capable of putting on the pads if necessary. Davis could see more time at catcher than last year to save wear and tear on Cortez. “We’re proud of how Chelsea has come back ready to play. Her work ethic is just so much better,” stated Cavallo. “She’s been hitting well, and she will be able to spot start at catcher more than last year.”

Pitchers It will be a luxury for the Spartans this year in the circle, as Cavallo believes they have three capable pitchers who could each be that No. 1 starter if called upon. With two right-handers and a lefty, Cavallo can mix it up from game to game or even make the righty-lefty, or vise-versa, switch mid-game to throw teams off. Right now, though, junior Jamie Schulle (Maxwell, Texas/Lockhart HS) is expected to be that No. 1 starter. The left-hander made big strides from her freshman to her sophomore year, and with a long-time injury to her non-throwing wrist now fixed, the coaches are high on Schulle to become one of the top pitchers in the league. “Jamie is absolutely ready to go. She’s worked hard on her spins, has added some miles per hour to her pitches, and is disguising them well,” Ca-vallo said. “That’s a testament to the crazy hours she’s put in and how much better physically and mentally she is now.” Option No. 2 for NSU can be either sophomore Liz Riley (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes HS) or junior college transfer Stephanie Wheat-ley (Seaford, Del./Delaware Tech). Like Schulle, both are power pitchers – Wheatley slightly more than Riley – and also like Schulle, all three can hit the ball and are expected to contribute at the plate more than NSU’s pitch-ers did last year. “Liz has been hitting very well, and we expect her to hit this year,” stated Cavallo. “She’s picked up right where she left off last year in the circle and has actually gotten stronger. She is throwing so well, and she’s the type of player who will do whatever we need her to do out there. “Stephanie is a power pitcher. She can dominate with the pitches we have already, now it’s a matter of adding to what she can already throw. She has a big, powerful bat, and she’s getting used to hitting again. She’ll be another great player for us.” Coming out of the bullpen, Mitchell gives the Spartans a fourth option in their pitching staff. “Robyn’s been working on her pitching a lot, and she is dedicated to getting better both at first and in the circle,” said Cavallo. “We need her to elevate to the next level, and she’s ready to make that push because of her great attitude.”

Schedule NSU opens the season Feb. 20 at North Carolina Central and then returns to the NSU Softball Field for two straight home tournaments. Monmouth, Fairleigh Dickinson and Delaware State will come down for the Spartan Clash Feb. 23-24, while Delaware, Army and Marist will join NSU for the Spartan Classic March 2-3. Along with a game on March 1 against Delaware, NSU will also wel-come non-conference foes Longwood (April 4) and North Carolina Central (April 16) to Norfolk, the latter two of which are doubleheaders. Howard (March 29-30), UMES (April 6-7) and Delaware State (April 20-21) will also play in Norfolk for a three-game conference series. The Spartans also play on the road in the Camel Stampede Invitation-al at Campbell March 8-9, the Delaware Invitational March 15-17 and in doubleheaders at Savannah State, North Carolina A&T and George Mason during the year. NSU travels to conference opponents Coppin State, Morgan State and Hampton in MEAC play this year as well.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

THE MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) is in its 43rd year of intercollegiate

competition during the 2012-13 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State Univer-sity, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University.

The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball and volleyball.

MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female stu-dent-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

HISTORYIn 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate ath-

letics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals.

After selecting a proposal and adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a com-pact group of educational institutions of high academic standards with a sound philosophy of cocurricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports.

The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971.

In 1978, the MEAC reached a milestone when it selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named commis-sioner and has served in the position for nine years.

The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmit-ted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, be-coming the ninth member institution.

The MEAC expanded again in the 1990s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded once again in 2007, adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season, however, Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010, the MEAC made its most recent expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State University.

On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the NCAA. Prior to that year, the conference operated as a Division II conference. The month after it achieved Division I status, the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men’s and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980, and North Carolina A&T earned the inau-gural men’s crown. The first women’s cross country championship took place a year later, with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981, with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown.

Tennis and golf returned as MEAC-governed sports in 1981 after a five-year hiatus.South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 1972-

1983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship.Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was

brought back as a MEAC-governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC-sanctioned sport in 1992.

Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. The MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.

SPORTS HIGHLIGHTSThe MEAC has enjoyed tremendous athletic success over the years. In 2008, Maryland

Eastern Shore (UMES) defeated Arkansas State 4-2 to win the NCAA Women’s Bowling Na-tional Championship, a first for the conference and institution. The Lady Hawks repeated the feat in 2011 and 2012. Also during 2011, UMES won the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITC), becoming the first team to win two na-tional championships during the same season.

In men’s basketball, UMES became the first historically black college/university (HBCU) to participate in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in 1974. The Hawks de-feated Manhattan, 84-81, in the first round before falling to Jacksonville by two points in the second round. Before the Jacksonville loss, UMES had the best record in the nation at 27-1. That same year, Morgan State won the NCAA College Division II National Championship and junior center Marvin “The Human Eraser” Webster was named the Division II Player of the Year. The 1981 tournament champion Howard Bison became the first MEAC team to play in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

Coppin State, Hampton and Norfolk State made history in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament by accounting for half of the six No. 15 seed over No. 2 seed upsets in tourney annals. Coppin State defeated South Carolina in 1997, Hampton defeated Iowa State in 2001 and NSU ousted Missouri in 2012. ESPN’s SportsCenter ranked the CSU and Hampton wins among the Top 10 greatest tournament upsets of all time, while NSU’s win over Missouri was nominated for the Best Upset ESPY in 2012.

In women’s basketball, South Carolina State won the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division II National Championship in 1979. In 1982, Howard became the first MEAC women’s team to participate in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basket-ball Championship. SCSU earned the conference’s bid in 1983 and became the first MEAC team, men or women, to win an opening-round game in the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament.

In 2010, The North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies defeated Wake Forest and Charlotte before falling to Miami in the third round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). North Carolina A&T became the first MEAC team and historically black college/university to win two consecutive basketball games in a national postseason tournament.

The No. 13 Hampton Lady Pirates faced No. 4 Kentucky in the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. The 13th seed was the highest seed earned by a MEAC women’s basketball program since the inception of the 64-team bracket in 1994.

In football, the MEAC was instrumental in constructing the Freedom Bowl All-Star Classic, the Heritage Bowl and the Gold Bowl. Prior to Division I competition, the MEAC com-peted in the Gold Bowl, held in Richmond, Va., which matched the MEAC champion against the champion of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). South Carolina State represented the MEAC in 1976 and 1979, winning both outings over Winston-Salem State and Norfolk State respectively. In addition to the 1976 and 1979 crowns, South Carolina State won MEAC football titles in 1974-78, 1980-83, 1994, 2004, 2008 and 2009. The Bulldogs were also named co-champions along with Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M in 2010.

On the track, Hampton’s Francena McCorory set an American record in the 400m dash with a time of 50.54 and defended her national indoor title at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Cham-pionships. McCorory, a two-time All-American and three-time MEAC indoor champion in the 400m dash, became the first back-to-back NCAA indoor 400m champion since Suziann Reid of Texas (1998 and 1999). McCorory was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I National Athlete of the Year for the 2010 Indoor Track and Field season.

In outdoor track and field, North Carolina Central won the first three MEAC titles. The quartet of Melvin Bassett, Robert Ouko, Julius Sang and Larry Black set the world record in the sprint medley relay with a time of 38.19 in the 1972 Olympics. MEAC women began outdoor track and field conference competition in 1980. In 1982, South Carolina State won the AIAW Division II Outdoor Track and Field National Championship.

The MEAC has showcased more than 27 athletes in the Olympics. Among them, 11 have earned medals during the Summer Games.

In 2003, Florida A&M became the first MEAC school to win a volleyball match in the NCAA Championship, with a first-round win over Winthrop. In 2004, the Lady Rattlers be-came the first historically black college/university to rank in the Top 25 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) national poll.

South Carolina State’s women’s tennis team earned the conference’s first Intercolle-giate Tennis Association (ITA) ranking in a 2005 poll, reaching No. 72.

In softball, Bethune-Cookman earned the conference’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Softball Championship in 2005. The Lady Wildcats defeated Florida, Central Florida and South Florida in the Florida Regional to become the first MEAC school to win an NCAA Division I Softball Regional. Bethune-Cookman ended the 2005 season with the confer-ence’s first-ever rankings in the final softball polls, reaching as high as No. 18.

Florida A&M was the first MEAC baseball team to advance to NCAA postseason play in 1994, falling to Southeastern Louisiana in a best-of-three series. During the 2002 campaign, Bethune-Cookman advanced to the Gainesville Regional and became the first MEAC team to win in the NCAA Tournament with a 7-4 victory over Florida International.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDENORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY

Norfolk State University was founded in 1935 as a beacon of hope to the region’s youth—especially within the African American commu-nity. Brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, the university was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University at its founding and was one of the last historically black institutions established in the Commonwealth of Virginia. By 1969, Norfolk State University began its transformation into a vibrant, independent college and was bestowed university status in 1979. More than 75 years later, the University remains a source of inspiration for those who aspire to fulfill their dreams. A four-year public institution, NSU is located in the dynamic Hampton Roads region of Virginia and is close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and downtown Norfolk. Additionally, NSU is one of the nation’s largest HBCUs with an enrollment of 7,100 students and a faculty of nearly 300, with more than half holding terminal degrees. The University offers a variety of academic programs within the following schools and colleges: College of Liberal Arts; the College of Science, Engineering and Technology; the Honors College; the School of Business; the School of Education; the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work; the School of Extended Learning; and the Graduate School. NSU offers 32 undergraduate, 16 master’s and three doctoral degrees.

Expanding Learning Capacity Norfolk State University has been recognized as one of the top 25 producers of cyber security professionals, according to US Black Engineer and Information Technology Magazine. Additionally, the University has also been named in recent years as one of the top 50 producers of African-American Ph.D. recipients, according to Inside Higher Ed. The finding, based on a National Science Foundation report, says that Histor-ically Black Colleges and Universities are graduating a growing share of African Americans who go on to earn Ph.D.s in science and engineering. NSU’s Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS), established in 1985, is specifically geared toward increasing the number of Ph.D.s in science technology, engineering, and mathe-matics. More than 50 percent of DNIMAS scholars have earned advanced degrees. Norfolk State University also has been named a “military friendly school,” which means that the university is successful at offering the nec-essary financial benefits, flexibility in scheduling and support programs to service members. Most recently, the university entered into an agree-ment with the U.S. Navy to provide the bachelor’s degree in interdisci-plinary studies through the Navy College Program Distance Learning Partnership coordinated through the School of Extended Learning. The Navy’s distance learning program is vital in providing sailors with the best possible options for obtaining higher educational degrees wherever they may be assigned. Now, sailors may apply to Norfolk State University to obtain a degree in interdisciplinary studies in an online environment. Our School of Extended Learning expertly places the convenience of the digital age at the fingertips of learners. The School works with the academic and administrative units of the University by serving as an extension of the NSU campus. It offers coursework through distance education, continuing education and certificate programs. Additional degree programs include Master of Arts degrees in Pre-Elementary Edu-cation, Elementary Education (Pre-K-6), Pre-Elementary Early Education with an emphasis on Childhood Special Education and Urban Education, as well as graduate certificates in Transition Special Education and Bilin-gual Special Education.

Building for the Future The University also built for the future with the construction of a three-story, 132,000-square-foot library that houses library services, archives and a 24/7 Internet café, individual and group study rooms, a multimedia project room, virtual conference room, a 24-hour study area, exercise equipment, and an African art gallery. One of the new library’s distinguishing features is a 90-foot high glass atrium that provides areas

to display current student and faculty artwork, and also serves as a gath-ering area for multi-purpose events. The new library provides the latest technology and creates an exciting study and research environment for students. Upon completion in December 2011, the library also reshaped the look of the campus. The old library was razed and a beautiful quad-rangular pedestrian mall between the new library and the New Student Center was created. From the days of the Great Depression to the Digital Age, Norfolk State University continues to achieve. Today, NSU remains an active and vital component of the Hampton Roads region, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation. Our faculty researchers have forged partnerships that have created cutting-edge virtual learning environments and the world’s smallest laser - both of which will have an impact on our every-day lives. Our graduates establish and lead corporations, distinguish themselves in their industries and fields of study and provide humanitar-ian aid around the world. Norfolk State University has played a vital role in our community in the past, is serving in a critical role today, and will continue to be an academic leader in the future.

Besides a long and beautiful coastline, Virginia Beach offers numerous landmarks, including the first landing cross (where the first settlers touched the shores of the New World in 1607, 13 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock); The Adam Thor-oughgood House, probably the oldest brick house in America, dating back to 1636; and Mount Trashmore, a project that turned a mountain of solid waste into an innovative recreational compound with bicycle trails, picnic areas, and soapbox derby and cross-country courses around two lakes used for a myriad of recre-ational water sports. The unique 17-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel links Virginia Beach with Virginia’s Eastern Shore and a national wildlife refuge.

The Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and the Children’s Museum are located in Portsmouth. Newport News has the Mariners’ Museum, which houses one of the world’s most extensive nautical collections, while Hampton is home of the Air and Space Museum.

NSU is just off Interstate 264 within walking dis-tance of downtown and other major area attractions, such as the Scope, Chrysler Hall and MacArthur Center Mall.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2013 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDESTRENGTH & CONDITIONING

The NSU Strength and Conditioning Program is administered by Reese Bridgman, NSU’s assistant AD for strength and conditioning. Bridgman has 28 years of coaching experience in athletics at the high school, college and professional levels. His resume includes a seven-year stint as head strength and conditioning coach at Central Florida, where he worked with future profes-sionals such as Daunte Culpepper, Asante Samuel and Brandon Marshall of the NFL and Mike Maroth of Major League Baseball. The NSU Strength and Conditioning Program exists to provide all NSU student-athletes with scientifically-sound performance-enhancement programs in the areas of strength, speed, explosive power and sports nutrition. Programs are conducted in the NSU athletics weight room, a 2,000-square foot facility in Gill Gymnasium that houses the equipment and accessories needed to devel-op championship-level NCAA Division I athletes. The strength and conditioning program also uses the NSU athletics department’s game and practice fields.The program develops athletes by means of function-al strength training for strength and power utilizing Olympic lifts, power lifts, plyometric drills and additional supplementary lifts, particularly dumbbell exercises. The program trains speed in both linear and change-of-direc-tion movement. Athletes are taught recovery by develop-ing good eating habits that are appropriate for athletes training at the Division I level and by emphasizing the correct amount of rest. Athletes are trained in a team setting as a part of a year-round program. Athletes train two times per week in season and three to four times per week during the remainder of the year with a break between semesters and at the end of their sport’s season. Their annual plan consists of in-season, offseason, preseason and holiday

programs. All training schedules are administered within NCAA guidelines for contact time with athletes in both required programs and voluntary programs. Part of the emphasis within the NSU Strength and Conditioning Program is on the student-athlete develop-ing lifetime character qualities of teamwork, discipline, dedication, determination, respect for others and respect for hard work. Student-athletes are also expected to de-velop an interest in lifetime fitness. “The Strength and Conditioning Program at NSU tries to remember that our athletes came to us to participate in and excel in their given sport, not to become weight lifters or body builders,” Bridgman says. “For this reason, we approach strength and conditioning as a means to an end, and we encourage our athletes to learn from and enjoy the journey.”

A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Norfolk State University’s proud legacy of achievement in collegiate athletics began at the NCAA Division II level as a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). NSU was one of the league’s most dominant programs, winning championships in every sport the school offered. In 1997, NSU joined the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), one of only two NCAA Division I conferences comprised of historically black colleges and universities. Other conference members include: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard Univer-sity, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University. NSU made an immediate impression in the conference in 2000-01, winning the Talmadge Layman Hill Award – presented annually to the member whose men’s teams compile the most points based on team finishes in conference competition. The Spartans have won the Talmadge Layman Hill Award each year from 2005-12. In all, NSU has won men’s conference titles in basketball, cross country, football, and indoor and outdoor track. The NSU women have won MEAC championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track, basketball and bowling during their tenure in the conference.
