THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AIKEN

The University of South Carolina Aiken was chartered in 1961 after entering into an agreement with the University of South Carolina to establish a two-year center in Aiken. The Aiken Center opened its doors in September 1961 to 139 students. Temporarily housed in Banksia, a renovated mansion in Aiken, the Center consisted of three full-time faculty members (one of whom served as Director of the Center). In 1968, the Center underwent an institutional self-study and was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a branch of the University of South Carolina and as a junior college. The fi rst associate degrees were awarded in June 1968. The campus of USC Aiken moved from Banksia to its present site in 1972 and physical changes began to occur rapidly. At fi rst, the permanent campus consisted of 100 acres and one multipurpose building which housed all university operations. A library was completed in 1975, and additional land was donated that increased the campus to 144 acres. In October 1977, the Student Activities Center was opened. A classroom building was occupied in 1978, and one year later, an auxiliary services building was added.

An apartment complex for students, Pacer Downs, was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1984. More construction additions to the campus included completion of the Etherredge Center, Ruth Patrick Science Education Center, the Business and Education Building, and the Alan B. Miller Nursing Building. Additional land was acquired increasing the campus to 400 acres. Academic and organizational changes also occurred rapidly. The faculty formalized its organizational structure and redefi ned its role in the governance of the institution in 1974-75. Also, the students reorganized their governing body and more precisely defi ned their role on campus; the administration and staff structures were overhauled and expanded to meet the demands of the growing academic programs. When the full-time equivalent student enrollment reached 1,066 in the fall of 1975, the USC Aiken campus was permitted to plan for senior level courses and to create

a number of baccalaureate degree programs. In that same year, USCA received approval as a four-year branch campus by the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina, and USCA was designated a Recognized Candidate for Senior College Accreditation. In September 1976, the Board of Trustees granted academic autonomy to the Aiken Campus. The fi rst bachelor’s degrees were granted in May 1977, and USCA became a fully accredited senior college. Presently, the college community is comprised of more than 3,200 students, over 100 full-time faculty, approximately 110 staff members, and 28 administrators. USCA awards bachelor’s degrees in more than 20 major areas of study, master’s degrees in two areas, and offers a varied program of continuing education courses for the wider community. Today USC Aiken offers students a liberal education designed to develop an understanding of human experience which will equip them for life in a free society. To accomplish this, the University provides students with an opportunity to discover learning processes which enable them to grow personally and socially. It promotes students’ interaction within a community of active scholars and artists, and it encourages students to use the knowledge which they gain to deal with the problems of a rapidly changing world.


USC AIKEN CONVOCATION CENTER

As USC Aiken Athletics has grown, its place in the context of the University as a whole has evolved. With heightened importance comes the need for new tools for success. The Convocation Center, opened in April 2007, is the grandest tool yet that will equip the Pacer programs with opportunities to succeed. A vision some 15 years in the making, the construction of the facil-ity came to fruition only because of the dedicated, hard work of campus and community leaders. As everyone bought into the idea, the resources were raised to make this dream a reality. Funding for the 17 million dol-lar, 100,000 square foot facility came from both public and private sources.

USC AIKEN CONVOCATION CENTER

With a groundbreaking ceremony on December 9, 2005, construction in earnest began with a 14-month time table laid out for the project’s completion. With China Construction as the builders of the project, Chinese National Television was on hand for the historic groundbreaking. In addition to giving the men’s and women’s basketball and volley-ball programs a new, state-of-the-art facility in which to practice and play, the athletic department as a whole has expanded space and modern offi ces in which to operate. Visitors to the building are greeted initially by the beautiful John C. Troutman Family Lobby. Highlighted by the Lew Perkins Wall

of Champions, the lobby works as a museum of Pacer greatness both past and present. The Wall of Champions is a dedication to Lew Perkins, the for-mer USC Aiken basketball coach and athletic director and current Director of Athletics at Kansas University, and is a timeline of USC Aiken athletics. The lobby also includes trophy cases dedicated to each sport, and a hanging banner featuring a prominent student-athlete from each sport’s past. The main arena has a seating capacity of 3,468 for athletic events. The men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams will all practice and hold home events in the arena, which has state-of-the-art sound and scoreboard systems.

In addition, the building consists of eight spacious locker rooms, in-cluding dedicated ones for the men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and volleyball teams. The fi rst weight training facility dedicated to the student-athlete is also housed in the Convocation Center next to athletic training room.

HEAD COACH VINCE ALEXANDER

Vince Alexander begins his third season as head coach of the USC Aiken men’s basketball program. In his fi rst two season at the helm, USC Aiken posted a 15-44 overall record, including a 7-24 mark in Peach Belt play. Despite two tough years in terms of wins and losses, a productive off-season on the recruiting trail and the program’s move into the brand-new Convocation Center has the excite-ment level high around Alexander’s program high. The USCA commu-nity also sees Alexander building the program into a winner in the future. “Coach Alexander certainly has our men’s basketball program headed in the right direction. He is always positive and has proven to be an excellent fl oor coach,” USC Aiken Athletic Director Randy Warrick said. “I have found that Vince and his staff have many recruiting connections and I think our supporters will see a very competitive team on the fl oor in the near future”. Those connections and the staff’s hard work paid off this past offseason. Alexander welcomes six highly-touted transfers into the program this season, including four from the Division I ranks. While Alexander and his team went through a tough season in 2006-07 marred by injuries and roster shakeups, the coach did reach a miletone when the Pacers beat Allen 92-60 on December 2, 2006, for his 100th career victory. Alexander joined the USC Aiken community in June 2005 after serv-ing as head coach for the previous six seasons at Mansfi eld University, an NCAA Division II institution in Mansfi eld, Pa. He became the school’s seventh person to sit at the helm and third since moving to the NCAA Division II ranks in 1990-91. The coach was hired after stand-ing out in the hiring process to the USC Aiken administration. “We interviewed an exceptional pool of candidates for this position;

however, Vince stood out from the group as a stellar coach,” said USC Aiken Chancellor Dr. Tom Hallman at a reception to welcome Alexander to campus. “I spoke to several people, including [Mansfi eld’s] president, who had nothing but respect for Vince personally and professionally.” In his time at Mansfi eld, Alexander led the Mountaineers to an 89-74 record, the 2005 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Championship, and four appearances in the PSAC Tournament. Over his last three seasons, Mansfi eld was 57-29. The PSAC does not crown a regular season champion, but Alexander’s 2004-05 squad fi nished with the best conference record in the 14-team league. The Mountaineers went 10-2 on their way to the Eastern Division Championship. The team fi nished the season with an overall record of 18-11. All those accomplishments are even more impressive considering Mansfi eld was picked to fi nish fourth in the Eastern Division. Alexander took over the reigns of the Mansfi eld program in 1999, after serving two seasons as an assistant coach at the university. His fi rst team fi nished 13-13 and his second squad (2000-01) appeared in the PSAC

HEAD COACH VINCE ALEXANDER

Above: USCA head coach Vince Alexander instructs his team on the court during a game against Peach Belt Conference rival Augusta State University. Alexander won his 100th career game during the 2006-07 campaign.

Tournament for the fi rst time since 1997. Only eight of the 14 PSAC teams, four from each division, advance to the tournament. After posting a 9-16 mark in 2001-02, the Mountaineers rolled off a pair of 18-win campaigns and a 20-win season. In 2002-03, Mansfi eld went 18-11 and returned to the PSAC Tournament, making the fi rst of three consecutive trips to the league championship tourney. Alexander led the Mountaineers to a 21-7 record in 2003-04 and a second place fi nish in the PSAC Eastern Division. The team was ranked nationally during the season and with a fi nal NCAA East Region ranking of number six, just missed earning a spot in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The 2004-05 season saw a second 18-win campaign and for the third time in Alexander’s six seasons as head coach, Mansfi eld led the PSAC in scoring. The Mountaineers average of 84.7 points per game also ranked 12th in Division II. At Mansfi eld, Alexander pro-duced 10 All-Conference players, six First-Team selections and four Second-Team choices, and the 2003 PSAC Eastern Rookie of the Year. Before arriving at Mansfi eld as an assistant, Alexander was the head basketball coach at William Penn High School in York, Pa., as well as

Dean of Students for the York City School District. During his two-year tenure as head basketball coach, he guided William Penn to an overall record of 40-15, including a 25-5 mark during the 1996-97 season. His 1995-96 team was the YAIAA co-champion and the York County runner-up. The 1996-97 squad won both the YAIAA and York County titles, and Alexander earned York County Coach of the Year honors. Prior to his stint at William Penn, Alexander was a physical educa-tion instructor and head basketball coach at U.S. Grant High School in Oklahoma City, Okla., from 1992-94 where his teams posted a 29-10 mark. Alexander’s 1994-95 team advanced to the Oklahoma Regional Finals, and he was selected the 1993 Coach of the Year in the Oklahoma City League. Alexander earned his Associate’s Degree in physical education from Blinn College (Texas) in 1987. At Blinn, he was All-Conference and an All-Region selection. He then attended Oklahoma Baptist University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in physical education and recreation in 1989. He served as the team captain for two seasons. Alexander is a graduate of James Madison High School in Houston, Texas. He and his wife, Anita, a teacher at Aiken Middle School, have one son, Benjamin.

ASSISTANT COACH NATE DAVIS

PERSONALHometown: Wellsboro, Pa.Date Hired: June 4, 2005

EDUCATIONHigh School: Wellsboro (Pa.)College: Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration from Mansfi eld University (1999)

Nate DavisAssistant Coach

Nate Davis begins his third season as assistant men’s basketball coach at USC Aiken. Davis served as an assistant coach under USCA Head Coach Vince Alexander at Mansfi eld University for fi ve seasons prior to coming to USC Aiken. “I’m really excited about what we can do here with the basketball team,” Davis said. “I’ve been with Coach Alexander for eight years and I know what we can do as a staff.” Davis has served as Alexander’s top assistant the past two seasons as the Pacers have compiled a 15-44 overall record, including a 7-29 PBC mark. The assistant coach’s duties on Alexander’s staff include recruiting coordination, opponent’s scouting, overseeing academic programs, as well as on-court coaching. With the program moving into the brand-new Convocation Center, the coaching staff put an increased em-phasis on increasing the talent level. Davis’ tireless work in recruiting helped the program land six highly-

touted transfers this season, four from the Division I ranks. Davis’ duties on the Mansfi eld bench included tutoring the Moun-taineer guards as well as assisting in camps, clinics, team fundraisers, and recruiting. “Nate isn’t just an outstanding coach, he’s also an outstanding per-son and because he is so genuine, he is a great recruiter,” said Alexander of his assistant coach. “He has a passion and desire to see young people achieve success both in the classroom and on the court.” A 1999 graduate from Mansfi eld University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, Davis will soon receive his Master’s of Science in Education from his alma mater. In addition to working with the Mountaineer basketball team, he served as teacher at Wellsboro High School for the past two years. An outstanding athlete in high school and college, Davis was a member of the Mansfi eld football team, where he was a two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East Division selection at fullback. He enjoyed a stellar career at Wellsboro High School as a three-sport All-Conference athlete, playing football, basketball, and baseball. Following his time at Wellsboro, Davis enlisted in the United States Marines, where he served on an anti-terrorist team, before enrolling at Mansfi eld. Davis assisted in leading the Mountaineers to the 2005 PSAC Eastern Division Championship and four appearances in the PSAC Tournament. Over the past three seasons Mansfi eld posted a 57-29 record. The PSAC does not crown a regular season champion, but the 2004-05 Mansfi eld squad fi nished with the best conference record in the 14-team league. The Mountaineers went 10-2 on their way to the Eastern

Division Championship and then advanced to the semifi nals of the PSAC Tournament. The team fi nished with an overall record of 18-11. All those accomplishments are even more impressive considering Mansfi eld was picked to fi nish fourth in the Eastern Division in the preseason coaches’ poll. The Mountaineers went 21-7 in 2003-04 and earned a second place fi nish in the PSAC Eastern Division. The team was ranked nationally dur-ing the season and with a fi nal NCAA East Region ranking of number six, just missed earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament. “Nate is committed to doing what it takes to bring this program to the next level,” Alexander said. “He works hard in every aspect of the program, including on-court teaching, academics, and the behind the scenes work that is needed.” Alexander also speaks very highly of his top assistant when it comes to his role on campus and in the Aiken community. “Nate is an extremely loyal man, not only to myself and the program, but also to the USC Aiken campus and the Aiken community. That speaks to the kind of person Nate is.” Davis and his wife Melissa have one son, Simeon, and two daughters, Sydney and Shayna.

The USC Aiken basketball program is starting a new chapter in 2007-08 with the opening of a new home, the state-of-the-art 3,468-seat Convocation Center. Along with the enthusiasm generated comes cau-tious optimism that the Pacers on the court will start a new chapter as well. For a program that has struggled for wins over the past decade, the move to a new building allows for a fresh start for third-year head coach Vince Alexander and the Pacers, but Alexander says the feeling is more excitement than pressure. “I don’t feel any added pressure, but I am very excited about the new building,” Alexander stated. “We saw through Midnight Madness and the fi rst scrimmage that there is not only a lot of excitement for the student body, but for the whole community.” If Alexander is going to lead the 2007-08 squad to a breakout season, he will expect a core of eight players to use the valuable experience they gained a season ago as a young team struggled to a 9-22 record. Six of those eight were freshmen forced to start a combined 69 games in 2006-07 because of injuries and roster

casualties. “It turned out to be a great posi-tive. Watching them in practice this year compared to last year they seem so much more relaxed and confi dent,” Alexander said. One of those players is 6’7” guard Casey McMasters, who led the team in scoring a season ago at 10.2 points per contest. Alexander points to the play and leadership of McMasters and junior Kingsley Oguchi as vital for his team’s success. Oguchi, a two-year starter, averaged 9.9 points per contest last year while leading the Pacers in assists and steals. “Kingsley Oguchi has really developed and worked so hard at im-proving his jump shot,” said Alexander. “Casey has gotten stronger and is defending a lot better. Those two individuals and their improvement will be tremendous.” Despite the eight players return-ing, Alexander knew the importance of recruiting players that could make an immediate impact and add both talent and depth to the Pacers’ roster. The coaching staff brought in six key pieces, all expected to play valuable minutes this season. Four of those newcomers trans-ferred in from the Division I ranks, another from a junior college, and the last from an established Division II pro-gram. Their experience coming in has allowed them to fi t into Alexander’s system quickly without missing a beat. “It has been very positive in that they bring a tremendous amount of leadership and a work ethic similar to what we have already established. They have worked well with the returners, and have allowed them to lead. They have said, ‘You have been here, show us what we need to do to get the job done.’ That should lead to great chemistry on and off the court.” The newcomer expected to make the biggest splash is Chris Commons, a 6’8” forward transfer from Findlay, a member of Division II’s Great Lakes Valley Conference. Before sitting out

the last two seasons, Commons was an all-conference player in 2004-05 averaging 16.1 points while leading the Oilers to the Elite Eight. After playing the majority of last season without a natural point guard, Alexander will not have the same issue this season after welcoming Ohio University transfer Jeremy Fears and Quinnipiac University transfer Job Casimir. The pair of juniors give the coaches options at point, with the 6’5” Fears’ ability to create matchup problems and the 6’0” Casimir’s speed to push the tempo.

Above: With eight returners and six important newcom-ers transferring into the program, team chemistry will be important this season for the Pacers.

Brian Egwuatu and Jores Dongo also join the team. At 6’8”, both add size and depth to the front line. A transfer from Texas Southern, Egwuatu is extremely athletic and can make plays on both ends of the fl oor. Dongo averaged a double-double a season ago at Mercer County CC. Morehead State transfer Cordaryl Ballard, a 6’4” wing player, rounds out the class of newcomers after averag-ing nearly 10 points per contest in the Ohio Valley Conference a season ago. It comes as no surprise with the mix of experienced returners and veteran newcomers that Alexander points to depth as one of the team’s major strengths. The Pacers’ leader also adds that his team should be extremely athletic. That athleticism and the team’s added size contribute to what Alexander thinks will be the biggest improvement from a season ago, their play on the defensive end. While the increased depth may present Alexander with a challenge to juggle playing time and defi ne roles, he sees it as a positive. “I think it will be a unique situation that will be fun for me as a coach to fi gure out how we can do things from week to week. I hope to have a set fi ve that starts, but I feel we have another 5-6 guys that can start as well.” Alexander points to 18 wins as the mark needed to have a break-through season. “Or more of course,

we do not have to stop at 18.” The Peach Belt Conference moves away from divisional play with the departure of USC Upstate. The Pacers will play a home-and-home series against each of the league’s 10 other teams. Alexander’s squad was tabbed to fi nish sixth this season after a 3-13 mark in 2006-07. “Realistically I think we could be in the top-5 in the conference,” he said. “That is right now hoping everyone stays healthy and continues to work hard in the classroom. If we are one of the top fi ve teams that would be a good improvement.” Similarly to most others around the Peach Belt, Alexander points to Augusta State as the favorite to win the league. The Jaguars won the regular season championship last season with a 14-2 PBC record. “[I] defi nitely see Augusta State as the top team in the conference, but after that it is wide open,” Alexander said. “Realistically and on paper, Augusta State is the best team.”

Point Guards As mentioned earlier, the point guard position was possibly the Pacers’ most glaring weakness a season ago. The addition of Fears and Casimir should diminish that concern. “I think we have made a tremen-dous improvement at point, more than any other position,” Alexander stated. “Job Casimir is a true fl oor general. Jeremy Fears is more of a scoring point, but also a very talented passer. He is also a good shooter and very quick for his size.” Brandon Shephard and Matthew Simmons will add depth to the spot.

Wings/Forwards The wing positions are probably where USC Aiken is the deepest. Oguchi and McMasters return after leading the team in scoring last season. Sophomore Mark Brown will provide a shooter off the bench. Ballard should be the most athletic of the group and be effective on both ends of the fl oor. “Those four guys are all very heady players who shoot the ball well,” said Alexander. “Kingsley

and Cordaryl are both phenomenal defenders, and Mark Brown has been the surprise of the group.” The team’s lone senior, Theo Oates, and sophomores Seth Leonard and Rashad Flowers, will provide depth and are both good rebounders for their size. Oates will be looked to for leadership on and off the court.

Post With four players to rotate in and out, Alexander will have the luxury of having much more depth in the paint. Commons will be a force in the Peach Belt and be the team’s go-to guy on the offensive end. “He is an incredible basketball player who has proven himself. At 6’8”, he steps out and shoots and is also clutch around the basket.” “Brian Egwuatu is probably the best athlete that I have ever coached,” Alexander continued. “He is a great shot blocker and a great rebounder who can score.” Dongo and sophomore Jakub Gadomski, both at 6’8”, give Alexander two big men he can bring off the bench who both can rebound and defend effectively. Gadomski scored 5.3 points per game last year.

2006-07 SEASON IN REVIEW

As one of eight schools around the country invited to participate in the Disney Division II Tip-Off Classic at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla., USC Aiken enjoyed an exciting start to their 2006-07 season. The Pacers began the year started on November 10 when they took on Wisconsin-Parkside at the Milk House. With just three return-ing players on their roster, USCA struggled in the second half and fell to the Rangers 79-63. Facing a very talented Shippensburg team the very next day, USC Aiken rallied from a 14-point second-half defi cit and got 16 points from sophomore Kevin Willis to even their record at 1-1 with a 63-60 victory. USCA closed out the tourna-ment the following day with a 77-69 loss to South Dakota. The following weekend the Pacers opened their fi nal season in “The Courthouse” with the USC Aiken Tip-Off Tournament, posting a 2-0 record with wins over Morris and Anderson. USCA downed Morris 91-73 behind 25 points and 12 rebounds from Willie Metcalf before beating Anderson 73-63 the next night. The Pacers would trade wins and losses over their next four games, including an 88-77 victory over Mars Hill on November 25 and a win in their fi rst December game, 92-60 over Allen, to move to 5-4. In the Mars Hill contest, Casey McMasters set a freshman school record for points in a game with 33. McMasters scored 25 points in the second half and hit seven threes in just 10 attempts. In the victory over Allen, USC Aiken dominated the glass, pulling down a school-record 59 rebounds. A 79-54 setback at Division I Furman started a three-game losing streak before Christmas Break, and the Pacers would not get above .500 the rest of the season. Coming back from the holiday

break, USCA got a huge lift from trans-fer Abdul Herrera, a 6’11 center from Cincinnati who scored 14 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Pacers opened Peach Belt play with a 72-69 victory over USC Upstate. The win over the rival Spartans would be one of few bright spots the rest of the way as USC Aiken could muster just four wins in 19 games in the 2007 portion of their schedule. The Pacers dropped their next fi ve games, all in the PBC, three of which were away from home. In the fourth of those games, McMasters had another huge game as USCA almost pulled out a victory on January 17 against Francis Marion. The 6’7” sharpshooter knocked down seven threes for the second time and scored 25 points, but the Patriots pulled away 75-68. USC Aiken took a break from conference play and snapped their fi ve-game losing streak as freshman Jakub Gadomski had 14 points and 10 rebounds in the Pacers’ 65-53 win at Allen. The squad carried that momen-tum into the next game. Returning home, USC Aiken got revenge for an early season blowout loss at UNC Pembroke with a 62-51 victory over the Braves. Sophomore Kingsley Oguchi tied his career high with 22 points. After three PBC losses, including a tough 72-69 overtime loss at home to Francis Marion, the Pacers picked up their ninth and fi nal victory of the season on February 7. In Dahlonega, Ga., freshman Mark Brown came off the bench to score 18 points and lead USC Aiken to a 72-69 victory over North Georgia. There were few highlights from that point on for the young USC Aiken squad as the season ended with seven consecutive losses. Despite the losses down the stretch, head coach Vince Alexander was able to get a core of underclassmen valuable playing time and experience. Despite a tough 70-67 overtime

loss by North Georgia in their home fi nale on February 21, the night was a memorable one as the game marked the fi nal athletic event in “The Courthouse.” After the contest, USC Aiken senior Richard Blocker joined other senior athletes to “turn out the lights” after 29 years in the building. After a road loss at Lander on February 24 closed out their season, USC Aiken returned to Greenwood, S.C., on February 28 to open play in the 2007 PBC Tournament. The young USC Aiken team put up a strong showing and got 43 points from their freshmen, but Columbus State pulled away late for a 66-58 victory to end the Pacers’ season. Gadomski had his fourth double-double of the season in the losing effort, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Fellow freshman Brandon Shephard scored a team-high 15 points off the bench. USC Aiken fi nished the 2006-07 campaign with a 9-22 record, includ-ing a 3-13 mark in PBC play. The freshman McMasters (10.2 ppg) and sophomore Oguchi (9.9 ppg) led the squad in scoring, and the Pacers had six freshmen average at least 10 minutes a game, meaning a much more experienced squad should hit the hardwood in 2007-08.

Vision Statement: The Peach Belt Conference is committed to providing through its dependent collegiate members, a forum for student participation in athletic, academic and co-cur-ricular events under the auspices of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division II. We will exemplify the charac-teristics of a premier intercollegiate conference that prides itself on the inclusion of students of all demographic groups who wish to participate in a well-rounded sports program. Our institutions, our aca-demic goals, our athletic aspirations refl ect a communality of purpose and a commitment to excellence in the classroom and on the playing fi eld.

History: Since its inception in 1991, the Peach Belt Conference has worked tirelessly to become one of the elite conferences in NCAA Division II. Now in its 17th season with 24 national championships and 23 national fi nal-ists, the PBC has accomplished that goal. Starting with only two champion-ships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 12 championship sports with the addition of women’s soccer in the fall of 2000. The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schools fi rst met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989 hosted by USC Aiken, fi ve of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and began play in 1991. The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the honor by winning the 1992 national crown, the fi rst of three golf championships the

Cougars own. The PBC has seen continued suc-cess in all sports with national rank-ings and multiple NCAA appearances. The 2004-05 season may have been the most successful with two national titles as USC Aiken won the second of their three-straight golf championships and Armstrong Atlantic State won the women’s tennis national championship. The PBC also had the second place or runner-up in baseball, softball, men’s tennis and golf, giving the PBC a fi rst or second-place in every spring sport the conference sponsors. The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic State University, Columbus State University, Francis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken, and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modifi ed to Peach Belt Conference in May 2000. Augusta State joined the confer-ence in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State on July 1, 1994, Clayton State on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005. Bringing the total back to 12, Georgia Southwestern State University joined in the summer of 2006, only to see USC Upstate leave for Division I in the summer of 2007. Former Augusta State basketball coach Marvin Vanover was named the conference’s fi rst commissioner in July 1991, establishing the conference offi ce in Augusta, Ga. The conference holds champion-ships in 12 sports, six for men and six for women. They are cross country,

21st ANNIVERSARY OF USCA’S BATTLE WITH #1 GEORGIA TECH On November 25, 1985, the USC Aiken Pacers traveled to Atlanta, Ga. and Alexander Memorial Coliseum to play one of the biggest games in the program’s history. USCA, already 3-2 on the young season, would square off against the nation’s top-ranked team in Division I, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. A team that featured future NBA stars like John Salley of the Detriot Pistons and Mark Price of the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to a 119-60 win against the over matched Pacers. But it was the opportu-nity to compete at that level that made the Pacers the true winners. Despite the lopsided score, USC Aiken head coach Glenn DeHart was pleased with the outcome. “My players learned how the game can be played,” DeHart said. “They could see what Salley, (Bruce) Dalrymple, and Price did on the court. And now, Greg Woods can see that he can score on Mark Price or Mitch Anderson knows he can go against a 7-footer and put the ball in the basket.”
