Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright's designs at Florida Southern College.

Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.

Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright's "Child of the Sun"

Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1885. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College's heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida's citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world's largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 1925-1957.

In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world's leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect's drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, "...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow."

The Thad Buckner Building is home to the FrankLloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.

The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center houses a full-sized basketball court, weight and aerobic rooms, and a student lounge and is adjacent to an NCAA regulation size swimming pool.

Frank Lloyd Wright often visitedFlorida Southern during his 20-year relationship with the college.

A grouping of three residence halls, thePublix Commons are close to just abouteverything on the Florida Southerncampus. All three buildings offer suite-style living in which six students each havetheir own rooms and share a living areaand bathroom. The Publix Commons alsois home to Florida Southern’s Greekorganizations.

Florida Southern’s recently renovated Water Dome, designed byFrank Lloyd Wright, made its premiere performance on October25, 2007. The Water Dome features 74 jets powering streams ofwater 45-feet into the air. It took almost 260,000 gallons of waterto fill the basin of the dome and at full power 4,800 gallons arewater are pumped per minute.

All of Florida Southern College’sresidence halls offer wireless accessin the common lobby areas and everyroom offers cable TV and is wired forinternet access. In addition, wirelesshotspots on campus include the RouxLibrary, TûTû’s Cyber Cafe (whichoffers Starbucks products), Wynee’sBistro (our cafeteria), and the Nina B.Hollis Wellness Center and pool area.

As one of the four originalbuildings on the FSC campus,Joseph-Reynolds Hall (“JR”)offers one of the best views oncampus. It sits atop a hilloverlooking Lake Hollingsworth.Community life is big here - thewomen of JR form groups withinthe building as a whole and alsowithin the “wings” and smallerhallways. JR and its companionhall, Spivey, are located in thecenter of campus between EdgeHall and Ordway and serve mainlyas first-year female residencehalls.

Wesley Hall is the first of two new twin residence halls at FSCand opened in the fall of 2008. The second building, Nicholas Hall, is expected to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 2009.Each new residence hall includes 115 bedrooms with views ofLake Hollingsworth, meeting rooms, student lounges, kitchens, and study spaces.

Anne B. Kerr, Ph.D. College President Since her unanimous appointment as its 17th president in 2004, Dr. Kerr has provided Florida Southern College with extraordinary vision and leadership that is enhancing the student experience and increasing the College’s national prominence. Under her guidance, the institution

has renewed its commitment to educating the whole person - academically, socially, spiritually, and physically - so that students leave prepared to make a positive and consequential impact on our world. Early in her tenure, Dr. Kerr led a comprehensive Strategic Plan designed to enrich all facets of the College’s student-centered culture. She is dedicated to enhancing a student life culture that provides opportunities for active learning and leadership; promoting a scholarly environment where professors have outstanding records of achievement that support innovative, engaged, and personalized instruction; and to strengthening further the College’s outstanding scholar-athlete program that models the highest standards of NCAA Division II athletics.

As part of her quest for excellence, Dr. Kerr commissioned a master plan that outlines the College’s vision for the campus and includes numerous facility transformations. These include a soon-to-be completed residential life facility designed by world-renowned architect Robert Stern; a state-of-the-art center for the study of languages and literatures; an Internet café in the library and an addition to the library; the expansion of wireless Internet access and campus-wide technology upgrades; renovations to the student dining facility and residence halls; as well as a restoration of our world renowned Frank Lloyd Wright campus. Prior to assuming the presidency at Florida Southern, Dr. Kerr was Vice President for Advancement at both Rollins College and the University of Richmond. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Mercer University and her master’s and doctoral degrees from the Florida State University. She has held a number of community volunteer leadership roles and currently serves on the boards of SunTrust Bank Central Florida, The Lakeland Chamber of Commerce, Habitat for Humanity, The Polk Museum of Art and the Polk Arts Alliance. She and her husband, Dr. Roy Kerr, have a thirteen-year-old son, Eddie. Roy Kerr is the author of a recently-published book about baseball entitled “The Loving of the Game.”

Pete Meyer Athletic Director

Pete Meyer is in his first year as the Director of Athletics at Florida Southern College. Named to the position Feb. 21, 2008, he officially assumed his duties July 1, when Lois Webb retired. Since 1972, he is just the fourth person to occupy the position of athletics director at Florida Southern – following Hal Smeltzly (1972-2000), Mike Roberts (2000-01) and Webb (2001-08). ”Pete Meyer is the best person to carry forward the legendary success of Florida Southern’s athletic programs,” FSC President Dr. Anne Kerr said at the time of his appointment. “His strength of character, commitment to a model scholar-athlete program, administrative skill, knowledge of intercollegiate athletics, dedication to students and ability to work with the senior staff of the College to achieve the goals of our strategic plan position him as the best person for this key institutional position. He has an impressive record of accomplishments as both a coach and athletic administrator, and has demonstrated a deep commitment to Florida Southern. I am confident that he will be an outstanding leader for our program.” “I am extremely honored to become director of athletics at Florida Southern College,” Meyer said. “I want to thank Dr. Kerr, Lois Webb and the Board of Trustees for their support and for their trust in my leadership ability in this position. Lois was a wonderful source of guidance and leadership for me. I look forward to working with Dr. Kerr in bringing her vision to Florida Southern, while maintaining our championship athletics program.” Meyer, who has been at Florida Southern since 1998, had served as assistant athletics director for Webb since February of 2006, in addition to maintaining his baseball coaching duties. In his position as assistant athletics director, he was

responsible for acquiring major gifts for the athletic department that included funding and equipment for the athletics weight room and upgrading the baseball and men’s basketball locker rooms. He coordinated all of the athletic department’s fundraising efforts, coordinated athletic facilities and served as game administrator for various home events. He also served as Florida Southern’s representative on the Sunshine State Conference Marketing Committee. As baseball coach, Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, keeping the Moccasin program among the elite in NCAA Division II. In 2005, he guided the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title with a 51-11 record and was the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach-of-the-Year. In addition to his national coaching honors from the ABCA, Meyer also was South Region, Sunshine State Conference and Florida Diamond Club (scouting organization) Coach-of-the-Year. His head coaching record at FSC was 257-111-1, while his overall record as a head coach was 296-141-1. Thirty-four Moccasin baseball players were drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer’s tenure at Florida Southern. Before officially assuming the reigns of head coach, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern's top assistant coach. He also was the program's recruiting coordinator. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under the legendary head coach, Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school’s Division III baseball program in 1991. He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. Meyer was a four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, graduating in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children, 20-year-old Ross, 18-year old Mitchell and 17-year-old Megan.

2009 Florida Southern Softball Preview What a strange, cruel year it was for the Florida Southern Moccasins in 2008. The Mocs played 16 games decided by one run, were involved in 13 games where the go-ahead run scored in the seventh inning or later, and had nine other games wiped off the schedule by weather or other factors beyond their control. Even a spring break snow storm played a role, with the Mocs getting snowed out for the first time in their 27-year history. Along the way, Florida Southern put together a 29-14 record with a team of mostly new faces. They beat seven teams that earned spots in the 2008 NCAA Tournament, including two regional champions, and nearly made the playoffs themselves. The fact is, that even in a season filled with so many ups and downs, the Moccasins were still ranked high enough to make it before being bumped out in favor of an automatic qualifier below them. So a season filled with close calls, many of which went against the Moccasins, ended in much the same way. While last year didn’t have the type of finish the Mocs are used to having, they were still a very good team; and with 10 returning starters, there’s every reason to believe this year’s team will be even better. If they’ve learned anything from last year’s experience, it’s how close the margin is between victory and defeat. Remember those 16 one-run games? The Mocs were 6-10, losing four of them in the seventh inning and three more in extra innings. Eight of those 10 losses came in the Sunshine State Conference, making them even more painful. With that in mind, what do the Moccasins have to do in order to reverse those numbers? Simply do the little things needed to win games. Playing in one of the most difficult leagues in the country and facing a schedule to match, the Mocs did a lot of big things, like hit .302 as a team and finish sixth in the nation with a 1.14 earned run average. It was the little things however, that so often came back to bite the Moccasins and cost them any number of games. Since the Mocs already know they have a team capable of beating anyone in the country, they also know that correcting the little things that went wrong in 2008 will lead to much bigger things in 2009.

PITCHERS Florida Southern’s pitching staff is anchored by senior Brittany Minton, an All-SSC selection and former junior college All-American who immediately became one of the top pitchers in Division II last year. Minton went 18-9 with a 0.86 earned run average that ranked fifth in the country, and allowed just over four hits per game. For most of the year, Minton averaged right around one walk per game, and combined with 163 strikeouts in 179.1 innings, she gave up few scoring opportunities. The Moccasins return two other pitchers from last year as well, including junior Heidi Schumacher. A two-year starter, Schumacher has put together a 27-9 career record and been dominating at times. The Mocs would like to see her pitch like she did the second half of 2007 when she went 9-1 with a 0.69 ERA. Although her numbers slipped a little bit last year, she still had some impressive games, like wins over Wayne State (MI) and LIU-C.W. Post, and a shutout performance against Bryant, all of them NCAA playoff teams. Pushing Schumacher after a strong rookie season is sophomore Morgan Brown. The Moccasins worked her into as many games as possible in 2008, and Brown responded with a 0.82 ERA in her 34.1 innings. That included two saves and a one-hit shutout in her only

start. Brown not only pitched well in her somewhat limited time, she also showed the coaching staff she has what it takes to continue a long line of successful Moccasin pitchers. The Mocs added another pitcher to the roster this year with the addition of freshman Christine Clark, a promising lefthander who will not only have a chance to pitch, but swing the bat too as a possible first baseman. Clark was an All-State selection as a junior at Barron Collier High School in Naples, Florida, and then went 12-6 with a 1.20 ERA as a senior. During those two seasons, she averaged 7.6 strikeouts and just one walk per game. CATCHERS Florida Southern’s only returning catcher is Heather Raulerson, a sophomore who started 19 games last year. After a slow start, Raulerson hit .250 over the second half of the season and now has a chance to become a full-time member of the lineup. She took a big step in that direction last fall, and the coaches are excited to see how that translates on the field this spring. The Mocs do have another player on the roster that has caught for them in the past, but Ashlinn Rodgers spent all of 2008 at first base. Now back behind the plate, the junior has been an outstanding hitter off the bench the last two seasons, batting .359 with eight RBI in that role. Many of those hits have come in pressure situations, like last year against Wayne State (MI) and Barry where she picked up 7th-inning pinch hits that helped the Mocs rally for a pair of wins. Another catcher competing for playing time is freshman Samantha Barker from Massachusetts. Barker helped Lynn Classical High School reach the MIAA Division I state quarterfinals as a senior when she was a Northeastern Conference All-Star. INFIELDERS The Moccasins have nearly all of their infielders back from last year, including three who started every game and another who started well over half. They’ve also picked up two transfers who have a chance to win starting jobs, and it’s possible a freshman could become a regular too.

Brittany Minton went 18-9 last year and ranked fifth in the country witha 0.86 earned run average.

The Mocs aren’t afraid to make changes in the middle of the season either, as they did last year when Sara Lovestrand and Dani Blake flip-flopped positions in late March. That put Lovestrand at shortstop for the final 17 games, a position she’ll continue to play this year. The senior will again be counted on as one of the team leaders at the plate, likely hitting at the top of the lineup where she excelled in 2008. A two-time All-American (once at Chipola JC, and once last year at Florida Southern), Lovestrand finished sixth in the SSC with a .384 batting average, had a .603 slugging percentage not normally found in a leadoff batter, and hit four home runs with 20 RBI. She was also perfect on 12 stolen base attempts. In the field, Lovestrand was dazzling at both positions she played, but in 17 games at short, she committed only one error. Her middle infield partner has yet to be determined. Blake was moved to the outfield, leaving second base open for junior Bethany Boomer, sophomore Peggy Alex, or freshman Karlyn Scott, a high school teammate of Lovestrand. All three players bring something different to the table, and the battle could continue well into the spring, with any or all getting playing time. Of that group, only Alex played for the Moccasins last year, with all of her game action coming at third base. She started 26 times at that position and turned into a solid infielder with only one error in her last 57 chances. That equates to a .982 fielding percentage. Alex was hitting a respectable .269 before a rough finish, proving she has the ability to be a part of the lineup, even if it’s at a different position in 2008. Boomer is a new name on the Florida Southern roster but already has two years of college experience. The Michigan native played two seasons at Valparaiso University where she appeared in 50 games with 18 starts in 2006 and 2007. Before that she an all-conference and all-district performer at Allen Park High School. Scott was named to the All-Big Bend Team four times at Wakulla High School in the Florida panhandle, including a first team selection last year. She was also a big part of Team North Florida, which finished ninth at the ASA Nationals in 2007. At first base, the Moccasins return junior Elli Howell, who started all 43

games at that position last year. No one had more hits taken away than Howell, whose every hard-hit ball seemed to end up in someone’s glove. Her .262 batting average was an injustice and could have easily been 50 points higher, and it was over the second half of the season. She led the team with 13 doubles, tied for the team lead with four homers, and drove in 20 runs. She also committed only two errors in the field. The Mocs have several others who can play first base too, including freshman Christine Clark. The Mocs are still counting on Clark as a pitcher, but she hit .398 with three homers and 26 RBI as a high school senior, making her versatile enough to contribute in two different roles. Freshman Michaela Stockhill is another first baseman, after joining the team from Riverview High School in Sarasota. With Alex now playing second, the Moccasins brought in third baseman Ashley Hunt from Manatee Community College where she was First Team All-Suncoast Conference as a sophomore; she earned that honor by hitting .383 with eight home runs and 37 RBI. Before her junior college career, Hunt was also a three-time All-State selection for McKeel Academy in Lakeland, helping the Wildcats to a state title in 2005. OUTFIELDERS Four-year starter Michelle Tatlock has graduated, leaving centerfield open, but the Moccasins have their other two starters back, and both Natalie Lang and Lindsey Powell were all-conference selections in 2008. They’ve also moved another returning starter, Dani Blake, from the infield to the outfield and can use designated player Angela Williams there if needed.

Now a senior, Lang has started every game the last three years, either in left field or in center. She’s twice been named All-Sunshine State Conference, including last year when she hit .331. A .326 career batting average and 93 RBI are the numbers that get noticed, but her defensive ability is at least equal to what she does at the plate. Last year saw Lang handle 81 chances without committing

Senior infielder SaraLovestrand hit .384with four home runsand 20 RBI as theMocs’ leadoff hitterlast year. Her glovework was just asimpressive and a bigreason she was aFirst Team All-SSCselection as well asa Second Team All-American.

Natalie Lang is coming off another all-star season that saw her hit .331with a .400 on-base percentage and 22 RBI. She’s also been of the SSC’s top defensive outfielders the last three years.

an error (the best percentage for any SSC outfielder) in addition to the hits or bases she may have saved. Powell is back for her second year as a starter after hitting .314 as a freshman. She was second on the team with 23 RBI, but the most impressive number for the Moccasin right fielder was her .362 batting average in conference play. There may not have been a better hitter in the SSC over the second half of the season, and Powell is just getting started. Williams, an All-South Region pick in 2008, hasn’t seen much time in the outfield but she has been named First Team All-Sunshine State Conference three years in a row as a designated player. She’s the first player in league history to accomplish that, and based on past performance, there’s no reason to believe she won’t make a clean sweep. Few players in the SSC have the ability to put up the all-around numbers Williams has every year. Over the course of her career, she’s hit .333 with eight home runs and 90 RBI, and has also stolen 52 bases. With Lang and Powell playing so well in the corners, the coaches were reluctant to move either of them. That leaves center field open for Blake, a sophomore who started all 43 games last year at either shortstop or second base. The new position allows the Mocs to take better advantage of her speed, and Blake to cover a lot more ground. Though she hit .235 overall with 13 RBI, Blake had some big hits for the Mocs as a freshman, batting nearly 50 points higher with runners in scoring position. She also led the team in sacrifice bunts and her ability to run makes her an even bigger threat when she’s on base. Two freshmen are also vying for time in the Moccasin outfield. One of those is Brandy Pikus, a two-time Most Valuable Player from Titusville High School on Florida’s east coast. The other is Chelsea Zawada, from Pottstown, Pennsylvania where she played in two national tournaments in travel ball.

Angela Williams has been the top designated player in the SSC since2006. The numbers prove it too, asshe’s been voted First Team All-SSC three times. Last year Williams hit.376 with two home runs and ateam-high 25 RBI.

2009 SSC Preseason PollDefending conference champion Barry University was again picked to win the SSC title in 2009 in a preseason vote of coaches and sports information directors. The Buccaneers return seven starters and 11 players overall from their team that advanced to the 2008 Division II national tournament. It was the fifth straight year a team from the SSC won the South Region, with Florida Southern doing it in 2004, 2006 and 2007. 1. Barry.......................... 127 pts. 2.

Head Coach Chris Bellotto The 2009 season will be the 28th for Chris Bellotto as head coach of the Florida Southern softball team, and her 31st at the college. A Lakeland native and graduate of Florida Southern, Bellotto is the only coach the program has ever had. She’s established the Moccasins as one of the top college softball programs in the country, with Florida Southern winning more conference titles than any Division II program

and making 18 trips to the NCAA Tournament since 1987. The Mocs have also won more postseason games and NCAA regional titles than all but one other current Division II school. During her time at Florida Southern, the Moccasins have made three appearances in the national championship game (most recently in 2004) and are one of only two schools at any NCAA level to play in a national title game in every decade since the sport was adopted. Over the last 27 years, Bellotto has compiled a record of 1,057-320 for a .768 winning percentage. That includes an 80-34 mark in three slow-pitch seasons (1982-84), and a 977-286 record in 24 seasons of fast-pitch (1985-2008). Her .774 winning percentage in fast-pitch ranks fifth in D-II history and 12th among the all-time leaders in all divisions. Her combined total of 1,057 wins ranks ninth on the all-time NCAA list. Bellotto achieved her 1,000th career win during the 2007 season, when the Mocs defeated Bryant University (RI), 2-0, on March 16. She became just the third Division II coach to reach that level, joining the retired Sandy Jerstad from Augustana (SD) and current Bloomsburg coach Jan Hutchinson. Entering the 2009 season, Bellotto is one of only 12 NCAA softball coaches from all three divisions with over 1,000 career victories. Even in 2008, a year in which they had to replace seven senior starters from the previous season, the Moccasins were still among the top teams in the South Region all year. Florida Southern went 29-14, the 26th time in 27 years under Bellotto the Mocs have finished with a winning record. That record included victories over seven different teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, including two regional champions (Barry and LIU-C.W. Post) and two regional runners-up (Tampa and Wayne State). Two years ago, the Mocs went 51-15 under Bellotto, the 16th time in her tenure the Mocs won at least 40 games and the third time they won at least 50. After sweeping through the South Region Tournament, the Mocs won two more games at the national finals for a fourth-place finish, marking the third time in four years they placed fourth or higher. The Mocs also won their 23rd Sunshine State Conference title, the most league titles for any Division II team in the country, and made their 18th trip to NCAA postseason play. They did it by ranking among the national leaders in team batting average (22nd), team ERA (4th) and team fielding (3rd). The 2006 team was also among the best ever coached by Bellotto as the Moccasins tied a school record with 55 wins, set a new record with 49 regular season wins, captured their 22nd conference title, won the NCAA South Region title and placed third at the national tournament. The Moccasins spent most of the season ranked in the national top five, opened the year with

18 straight wins, and set school records for home runs and shutouts. The season culminated with a record-setting 13-2 win in the South Region Championship Game, earning the Moccasins their seventh regional title and a seventh trip to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. The Mocs went 2-2 in Salem, Virginia that year to finish third overall, giving them two third-place finishes, two runner-up finishes and one national championship under Bellotto. One of those national runner-up teams came in 2004, when Bellotto and the Moccasins also finished 55-8, falling to Angelo State in the national championship game in Altamonte Springs, Florida. That year saw Bellotto do it with a roster that had only two seniors and featured six freshmen in the starting lineup. Bellotto has been in charge of the Moccasin softball program since it was created as a club sport in 1979. That year, while still a junior at Florida Southern, she led the Mocs to a fifth place finish in the state tournament. In 1980, as a senior, Bellotto’s team went 15-10 and her 1981 squad was 22-9 while competing with no scholarships against schools that offered as many as 15. In 1982, Florida Southern became a full-fledged intercollegiate program and Bellotto guided them to a 22-12 record overall and a perfect 16-0 mark in the Sunshine State Conference. Her first win came on March 17, 1982 when the Mocs defeated Saint Leo, 11-4. Florida Southern went on to win conference titles in 1983 and ‘84 as well (going 16-0 in SSC play during both seasons) before the league moved to fast-pitch competition in 1985. After two more SSC titles in 1985 and ‘86, Bellotto took the Moccasins to the next level in 1987 as Florida Southern earned its first NCAA Tournament bid in softball. The Mocs won a then school-record 49 games that year and led the nation in scoring, fielding and winning percentage. They went 24-0 in conference play, swept through the regional tournament without allowing a run, and eventually lost in the National Championship Game to Cal State-Northridge. Bellotto’s success continued throughout the remainder of the ‘80’s and into the ‘90’s as Florida Southern would go on to win 16 straight Sunshine State Conference fast-pitch titles from 1985-2000, and earn 14 consecutive NCAA bids from 1987-2000. At one point, from the middle of the 1985 season through the end of 1989, Florida Southern won 95 consecutive conference games, including 62 in shutout fashion. That 95-game winning streak is the longest for any team in any conference sport. Overall, Bellotto has won 23 conference titles (combining slow-pitch and fast-pitch), eight regional titles and one National Championship. That national title came in 1993 when Florida Southern went 45-11 with a .371 team batting average. The Moccasins came out of the loser’s bracket with back-to-back shutouts after dropping their first game at the National Tournament, and closed things out with an 11-5 victory over Augustana (SD) that gave the school its first national championship in women’s athletics. The Mocs have averaged 42 wins a year over the last 22 seasons and have won 30 or more games all but twice during that span; 16 times they’ve won at least 40. They’ve made a total of 18 trips to the NCAA playoffs under Bellotto and their 60 postseason wins are second only to Bloomsburg’s (PA) 74.

Individually, 26 different All-Americans have played for Bellotto, combining to win a total of 44 All-American awards, including 20 first-team selections. Among the All-Americans is current Moccasin Sara Lovestrand, a Second Team selection in 2008. The list also includes four-time All-Americans Kellie Robinson and Shelly Davis, and three-time winner Megan Brown. Both Robinson and Davis are members of the SSC Hall of Fame, as are Dori Stankewitz, Traci Wood and Julianne Coleman. In addition, Bellotto has had 18 Academic All-Americans, 86 All-South Region selections, and six players named the SSC Female Athlete-of-the-Year for all sports. Bellotto is a two-time Division II Coach-of-the-Year as selected by the National Association of Softball Coaches. She first won that award in 1989 when the Moccasins went 46-8 and finished third in the nation. The second time came following Florida Southern’s national championship in 1993. Bellotto (or her staff) has also been named the South Region Coach-of-the-Year 10 times in her career, and the Sunshine State Conference Coach-of-the-Year 14 times. Her individual SSC coaching awards are the most for any coach, in any sport, in the history of the conference, tying her with current Tampa volleyball coach Chris Catanach. Selected as the head coach on the SSC Silver Anniversary Team in 2007 (along with 14 of her players), Bellotto has compiled an incredible 530-104 record in conference play for an .836 winning percentage. In June of 2005, Bellotto was inducted into her third hall of fame, the Polk County Sports Hall of Fame. She was previously enshrined in the Sunshine State Conference Hall of Fame (February of 2000), and the Florida Southern College Athletic Hall of Fame (March of 2002) as a charter member. She was also honored with the “Women in Sports” Achievement Award presented by Saint Leo University in February of 2001. Bellotto graduated from Lakeland High School in 1974. She earned her A.A. degree from Polk Community College in 1977 and her bachelor’s degree from Florida Southern College in 1980. In 1984, she received her master’s degree from the University of South Florida. She is also a faculty member at Florida Southern College in the school’s Physical Education Department, and currently serves on the NCAA Division II South Region selection committee.

11,,000000 WWiinnss aanndd CCoouunnttiinngg On March 16, 2007, Chris Bellotto became just the tenth coach in NCAA history at any level to win 1,000 games in her career. That win total covers both slow‐pitch and fast‐pitch competition. With the NCAA recognizing only fast‐pitch competition, Bellotto will likely earn her 1,000th win for a second time at some point this season. Listed below are the milestone victories for Bellotto and the Moccasins. #1 Mar. 17, 1982 Saint Leo 11-4 #100 Apr. 13, 1985 Florida Tech 1-0 Championship game of the SSC Tournament; freshman Dori Stankewitz pitches third straight

no-hitter; Susan Young drives in the only run of the game with an infield single #200 Mar. 15, 1988 Missouri-St. Louis 1-0 Dori Stankewitz pitches a two-hit shutout, helping Mocs to a 17-0 start; Rhonda Kaiser draws

a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 4th, forcing in Patsy Sugo who had doubled leading off the inning; Kaiser also has one of the Mocs’ three hits in the game

#300 Apr. 1, 1990 Barry 2-1 Ginger Dudley has a two-out RBI single in the bottom of 7th to score pinch-runner Wanda Graham, who had stolen second after a hit by Wendy Helms; Cindy Johansen scatters five hits in the win, allowing a run in the top of the sixth

#400 Mar. 5, 1993 *SIU-Edwardsville 8-2 (4) Game called due to time limit; Shelly Davis goes 3-for-3 and Patty Fleig has three RBI; Mocs have six hits and eight walks; Katy Cortelyou earns the win

#500 Mar. 22, 1995 at Webber 14-6 Kim Crawford has five RBI and a 2nd-inning grand slam, Patty Fleig has a home run and four RBI, and Traci Wood goes 3-for-4 with four runs scored; Traci Hertzog picks up the win

#800 Mar. 2, 2003 *South Dakota State 3-1 Mocs score on an error and RBI single by Teri Morgan in the top of the 7th to snap a 1-1 tie; Morgan also earns the win by allowing no earned runs on four hits

#900 Mar. 8, 2005 at Albany State 8-0 (5) Stacey Bronson tosses a two-hit shutout and strikes out seven; Stephanie Huber has a home run and three RBI, and Jackie Leppla drives in two runs

*Rebel Games (1993 in Ocoee; 2003 in Kissimmee)

#1,000 (March 16, 2007) The Moccasins defeated Bryant University, 2‐0, in the first game of the Florida Southern Spring Invitational. Freshman HeidiSchumacher pitched her first career shutout, allowing just two hits, striking out 11 and walking only one. It was a scoreless game until the bottom of the sixth inning when the Mocs got a leadoff double from Sarah Kohlbrenner, who then scored during a run‐down play on Jackie Leppla’s sacrifice bunt. Angela Williams later singled in Leppla for the second run of the inning.

Assistant Coach Jeff Lang Jeff Lang joined the Florida Southern coaching staff in January of 2006 after seven years (1999-2005) as the head softball coach at George Jenkins High School in Lakeland. While there he compiled a career record of 148-52-1, and led the Eagles to four district championships and the state playoffs six times. In his three seasons at Florida Southern, Lang has helped the Moccasins win two conference titles and advance to the Division II National Tournament in 2006 and ’07 with both his on-field coaching and recruiting. He was part of the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff-of-the-Year in 2006 and 2007, and works primarily with the Moccasin infielders. In his final season at George Jenkins, the Eagles were 24-5 and won the Class 5A District 6 title. In the state playoffs, the Eagles won two extra-inning games before falling to Tampa-Chamberlain in the regional championship game. All five of Lang’s seniors were named to the All-State team, including Angela

Williams, and his daughter Natalie, who are both current seniors on the Florida Southern roster. Williams has been a three-time All-SSC selection for the Moccasins, and Lang has been all-conference twice. Another of his 2005 senior class, Brooke Johnson, went on to start at the University of Florida. In 2004, Lang also led George Jenkins to a district title after the Eagles went 24-4. That team advanced to the regional championship game as well, where they fell to River Ridge High School in extra innings. His teams also won district championships in 2000 and 2002, with the 2000 title earning him the Lakeland Ledger’s Polk County Coach-of-the-Year award. In addition to coaching at George Jenkins High School, Lang is also the president of Florida Construction Group. A Lakeland native and a 1980 graduate of Lakeland High School, Lang and his wife Darla have been married for 26 years and have two children: son Brant and daughter Natalie, who is a senior at Florida Southern and member of this year’s softball team.

Assistant Coach Al Bellotto Al Bellotto is in his second stint as a Moccasin assistant coach after re-joining the team in 2007, when he was part of the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff-of-the-Year. In addition to his work with the hitters, Bellotto also coaches the Moccasin outfielders. The brother of Florida Southern head coach Chris Bellotto, he previously served as an assistant from 1988-2002, a 15-year span that saw Florida Southern win 13 conference championships and four NCAA regional titles. During his earlier tenure with the Moccasins, Bellotto was a part of the 1993 national championship team, and much of the Mocs’ success at the plate that season was attributed to his work with the hitters. Florida Southern hit .371 that year, a school record at the time, but one which the Mocs broke just two years later with a .376 average. That mark still stands in the Florida Southern record book. A former member of the Florida Southern baseball team, Bellotto was an outfielder and catcher for the Moccasins, and before that an All-State selection in both baseball and football at Lakeland High School, one of the top football programs in the country.

Assistant Coach Melannie Grimes Returning to Florida Southern this year for another round as pitching coach is Melannie Grimes, a former All-American pitcher at Arizona State University and member of the United States National Team. She previously served on the coaching staff under Chris Bellotto from 1986-90, and helped the Moccasins win five straight Sunshine State Conference titles, two regional titles, and a second place finish at the NCAA Division II national finals in 1987. During those five years, Grimes oversaw the Florida Southern pitching staff, which included two-time All-Americans Dori Stankewitz and Nycki Sandstede. In addition to those honors, a Florida Southern pitcher was named All-South Region nine times during that span. Grimes’ collegiate career began at Golden West College in California where she was a member of two national championship teams. She transferred to Arizona State University and while playing for the Sun

Devils, won 43 games from 1977-78. Grimes still holds ASU records for season earned run average (0.23 in 1978) and career ERA (0.52). She also set a school record with 246 strikeouts as a senior, a record that stood for 21 years and still ranks among the top five in team history. The highlight of her career, however, came in 1979 when she posted a 4-0 record in the Pan-Am Games in Puerto Rico, helping the United States win the gold medal. In addition to her previous coaching experience at Florida Southern, Grimes has spent several years coaching softball, volleyball, basketball and cross-country at local high schools in Polk County. She has spent the past five years as assistant volleyball and assistant softball coach at Auburndale High School, where she helped the Bloodhounds go 26-5 in 2006 en route to their Class 5A State Championship.

WHY MOCCASINS? Florida Southern first used the nickname Moccasins in 1926, shortly after the college’s move to Lakeland in 1922. The water moccasin, or cottonmouth snake, was abundant in the nearby lakes and since the moccasin is one of the fiercest of all snakes, the college adopted the name for its athletic teams. A male water moccasin can grow up to 1.8 meters (over six feet long), and though its venom is considered relatively mild compared to other poisonous snakes, its bite is still extremely painful.

Did You Know? There have been a total of 13 grand slams hit by a Moccasin in team history, but Angela Williams is the only player to hit two of them.

Of those 13 grand slams, only three have been hit at Barnett Field (Laura Soule’ vs. Saint Leo in 1985; Amy Jackson vs. Eckerd in 1999; and Ashley Alpizar vs. Saint Leo in 2007).

Although Sara Lovestrand homered in last year’s season-opening doubleheader against Arkansas-Monticello, she did not hit one in her first game. The only Moccasin to go deep in her Florida Southern debut was freshman catcher April Elston on February 14, 1998. The solo home run helped the Mocs to a 4-1 win over West Florida.

No, Elston did not hit a home run in her first at-bat, but two other Moccasins have, and both of them were pitchers. Keltie Christian was the first when she blasted a three-run homer against Eckerd in the second game of a doubleheader on April 2, 2000. Six years later, Marisa Chase hit a three-run homer against Claflin (SC) in her first at-bat, then hit a two-run homer in her third at-bat later in the same game.

Did You Know? Natalie Lang and Angela Williams are the only four-year seniors for the Moccasins this year, and the former high school teammates have each started all 172 games of their careers. That leaves them 36 short of the school record for consecutive starts, held by Shelly Davis. The hall-of-fame shortstop started all 208 games of her career from 1993-96. Davis and another hall of fame shortstop for Florida Southern, Kellie Robinson, are the only Moccasins to start every possible game during a four-year period. Sarah Kohlbrenner and Jesse Shepherd each started all but one of a possible 242 games during their careers, which ran from 2004-07.

BARNETT FIELD, HOME OF THE MOCCASINS

The Moccasins play their home games at Barnett Field, on the campus of Florida Southern College. The field is located behind Jenkins Field House, home of the Moccasin volleyball and basketball teams, on the corner of Ingraham Avenue and McDonald Street. Originally known as Pipkin Field, it was re‐christened Barnett Field in 1990 in honor of longtime Florida Southern booster Hoyt Barnett. It also serves as the home for the Moccasin soccer teams in the fall. The Moccasins actually lost their first fast‐pitch game at their on‐campus field by a score of 7‐1 in the first game of a doubleheader with Lewis (IL) on March 14, 1985. The Mocs did win the second game, 4‐1, and have been doing that ever since. Over the last 24 years, they’ve won over 80% of their games at Barnett Field. Some of their best home records have come in 1987 (30‐4); 1989 (30‐3); 1995 (21‐2), 2004 (32‐4); and 2006 (24‐3). Barnett Field has also been the site for nine NCAA Division II South Region Softball Tournaments, most recently in 2006. No other school in the region has served as the host site more than Florida Southern.

The large birds of prey living in one of the light towers down the left field line are ospreys, otherwise known as seahawks. They eat mostly fish and can dive up to three feet deep in water to grab their prey. They thrive on every continent in the world except for Antarctica, normally live between 20 and 25 years, and mate for life. The photo at left is of the actual pair that lives at Barnett Field, taken by Florida Southern photographer Wayne Koehler during a game. They were given the names Alan and Anita by Moccasin outfielder Natalie Lang.

On May 3, 2008, the Florida Southern softball team had a chance to do something no other Division II team in the country got to do – play a game against the United States Olympic Team. The Moccasins were part of the Bound 4 Beijing Tour, a schedule of more than 60 exhibition games played all across the country to help Team USA prepare for the summer Olympics in China. Most of those games were against major Division I programs and all-star teams, but one of the tour stops was Plant City, Florida, where a crowd of nearly 6,000 saw Team USA defeat Florida Southern, 12-0. But forget the score and forget the stats; the night was about much more than that. The Moccasins had a night to remember while facing the best softball players in the world, and those memories are something that won’t be forgotten.

Florida Southern coach Chris Bellotto and Team USA coach Mike Candrea meet at home plate for the exchange of lineups. The Moccasins sent Brittany Minton to the pitcher’s circle, while Team USA countered with Monica Abbott.

Lisa Fernandez is still one of Team USA’s most popular players and took time after the game for a picture with Elli Howell (above). Jennie Finch (below) chose to be pictured with Moccasin assistant coach Jeff Lang instead. Heidi Grondahl (top left) out-raced a

throw from 3B Andrea Duran for aninfield single in the third inning.Later in the game, Morgan Brown(top center) pitched a scoreless fifth inning by setting down the numbertwo, three and four hitters in theUSA lineup. In between, LindseyPowell (at left) brought the crowd toits feet when she nearly homeredoff Monica Abbott, but centerfielderCaitlin Lowe caught it with her back against the fence.

At right, the Moccasins weigh theiroptions before the game, while thepanoramic shot below shows a fullhouse at Plant City Stadium. TeamUSA finished the Bound 4 BeijingTour with a 59-1 record, its onlyloss coming to Virginia Tech. Theyout-scored their opponents 701-30,an average score of roughly 12-1,and eventually won the silvermedal in the 2008 Olympics.

THE SUNSHINE STATE CONFERENCE

Founded in 1975, the Sunshine State Conference has risen from a single sport organization to the Division II “Conference of Champions”. Since its inception, the conference has grown steadily in sports played, membership and national prominence. Sunshine State Conference member schools have won recent NCAA national titles (67 total) in baseball, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s golf, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s

volleyball. The SSC is also nationally recognized in men’s and women’s cross country, women’s rowing and women’s basketball. The SSC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s volleyball, softball and women’s rowing. The first national title won by an SSC member school was in 1978, by the Florida Southern baseball team. For more information, please contact:

Did You Know? The Florida Southern softball team set a league record for any sport by winning 95 consecutive conference games from 1985‐89. That streak started with the final seven games of 1985, continued through four undefeated conference seasons, and finally ended with a 1‐0, eight‐inning loss to Barry in the first SSC game of 1990.

The longest overall winning streak in SSC history belongs to Barry, which won 35 in a row last year. That streak was ended by Florida Southern with a 3‐1 victory on April 13.

Ironically, the second longest conference winning streak for any SSC sport is held by the Barry women’s soccer team, which won 44 straight SSC matches from 1998‐2004. That streak was also snapped by Florida Southern.
