The 2009-10 Appalachian State University women’s basketball media guide has been written to provide members of the media statistics and information needed to provide adequate cover-age of the Mountaineers throughout the season. Any additional questions regarding the program should be directed to Courtney Burchett in the ASU sports information office at (828) 262-7162.

Media CredentialsPlease direct all credential requests to Burchett by either phone (828-262-7162) or e-mail ([email protected]). Photo credentials will be issued only to accredited media outlets or those individuals on special assignment. Please contact the SID for more information prior to the game.

Credentials can be picked up at the table at the media entrance of the Holmes Convocation Center located under the northwest entrance.

BroadcastingPermission to broadcast must be secured at least two weeks in advance from David Jackson, As-sociate Athletics Director, at (828) 262-2018. Line installations must be ordered by the individual station through its local telephone company. Ap-palachian operates a reciprocal two-line “trade-out” system for Southern Conference teams and the lines are available to non-conference teams through a line feed. Visiting stations or networks (as designated by the visiting school) will be granted broadcast permission. The number for placing a line installation order is (828) 378-6300. The Holmes Convocation Center’s address is: 111 Rivers Street, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC 28608.

Press RowPress row is located on the east side of the playing floor and is reserved for working media, statisti-cians and game management personnel. Radio broadcasts will be seated at the top of the arena on the west side. Media members must enter through the media entrance on the northwest side of the Holmes Center. The media hospitality room is located directly adjacent to the media entrance and is open two hours prior to tip-off. Only work-ing press will be admitted. Wireless internet access is available throughout the Holmes Center for media.

Media ParkingMedia parking (requires a pass) spaces are limited and are located in the lot behind the JET building.

Interview RequestsThe sports information office and the basketball program are eager to assist the media with player and coach interview requests. It is requested that media contact Burchett for all player interview requests. Interviews will be arranged at places and times convenient to both parties.

Gameday ProceduresThe Appalachian locker room is closed both home and away. A member of the ASU sports informa-tion office will take interview requests for players with about two minutes remaining at home games.

Following a 10-minute cooling off period, Coach Vincent will conduct her postgame radio show on press row. After the radio interview, Vincent will be available to the media in the hall area outside the press room. Players may be requested for inter-views in the same area. Postgame interviews with visiting coaches and players can be conducted outside the press room. Arrangements should be made with the visiting sports information director.

On the road, Appalachian coaches and players are available for interviews 15 minutes prior to and 30 minutes after practice sessions the day before the game. Members of the media may obtain a travel itinerary from the sports information office. Coach Vincent will be available for pregame interviews up to one hour prior to the game, both at home and on the road. Appalachian players are not available for interviews on days of games until completion of the contest.

Statistical Services Appalachian State University uses the Statcrew computer program to produce the official box scores and statistical packages for all games. These materials will be sent via e-mail to the sports information offices of visiting opponents as well as any media outlets requested by the opponent’s sports information contact. If the SID will not be accompanying the team to Boone, arrangements for the dissemination of information can be made by contacting Burchett. Statistics will be provided to all media members and home and visiting coaches at the conclusion of each half and during media timeouts. Mountaineers on the WebThe most up-to-date information on the Ap-palachian State women’s basketball team and all 20 athletics programs on the world wide web at www.GoASU.com, the home for ASU athletics on the web.

Introduction

Appalachian State University athletics announced a partnership with High Country ADventures that will bring full coverage of Appalachian women’s basketball to WATA 1450 AM and 100.7 MAC FM for 2009-10.

For a second straight season, ASU women’s basketball games will be carried locally on WATA . In the event of a conflict with the station’s coverage of Mountaineer men’s basketball, the High Country broadcast of the women’s basketball game will move to MAC FM. Each women’s basketball broadcast will begin with a 30-minute pregame show and conclude with a 15-minute postgame wrapup on www.GoASU.com.

Each ASN broadcast begins with Mountaineer Gameday hitting the airwaves 30 minutes prior to each Appalachian State game. This fast-paced pregame report includes highlights from previous contests, player interviews and an in-depth talk with Mountaineer head coach Darcie Vincent.

Following the game, the Skybest Locker Room Report will recap the game with scores from around the nation, interviews with the players and coaches, plus a look ahead to future action. Appalachian sports updates can be heard daily via ASN’s “Around the Mountain,” hosted by David Jackson airing on ASN affiliates WATA, WBLO, WKBC, WODY, WPWT, WTOE, and WZGM.

Appalachian State senior Ran Northam will call the action for the second straight season and will be joined by former-ASU women’s basketball standouts Carol Almond and Brittany Mixon.

Northam hails from Machipongo, Va. and is majoring in communications with a concentration in electronic media broadcasting. In addition to his role as play-by-play voice for women’s basketball, the senior also calls ASU men’s soccer, volleyball and softball for GoASU TV.

Almond, graduated from ASU in 1979, and in her historic career with the Black and Gold, she became the first female collegiate student-athlete to score 1,000 points in the state of North Carolina. She was also the first female at Appalachian to have her jersey retired, and was inducted into the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame on September 2, 1989.

Mixon closed out her career with the Mountaineers in 2009, after an impressive four-year stint. During her time with the Apps, the Florida native picked up SoCon Sports Media Association second team honors and earned second team-all Tournament recognition during her senior year. She also finished her career as the school recordholder for most blocks in a season with 62 and 18th on Appalachian’s career rebounding list.

In addition to all games broadcast on WATA, live audio and video web stream is also available for every home game throughout the 2009-10 season via GoASU TV on GoASU.com.

GoASU TV is in its third year of providing live and on demand sporting events and exclusive news updates and interviews for viewers across the world.

Vincent coached against Mack at West-Chester, and while playing there, Mack was named PSAC East Rookie of the Year, 2nd team all-PSAC and PSAC East Player of the Year twice.

The Black and Gold has no shortage of talent or depth at the guard spot, especially with the return of two starters from a season ago in Sam Ramirez and Brittney Spencer.

Ramirez posted a breakout 2008-09 season, as the Fayetteville, N.C. native led the Southern Conference with 136 assists on the season, averaging 4.4 per game. She also finished first in assist-turnover ratio and tied for seventh in steals.

She posted 16 games in double-figures scoring and notched her lone double-double

of the season at home against UNCG , when she scored 16 points and hauled in a career-high 10 rebounds.

In perhaps her best outing of the 2008-09 campaign, Ramirez scored 17 second-half points to help the Apps erase a 16- point second half deficit to earn a three point win over Furman in the first round of the 2009 Southern Conference Tournament. The win was Appalachian’s first postseason victory since 2007.

She also made a team-high 41 three point-ers last season and was both a consistent performer and team leader on and off the court.

“As one of three upperclassmen, Sam has accepted a leadership position and we expect great things from her this season,” Vincent said. “Last year, she had to take on a lot of different roles and this season, that pressure will be lifted as she can concentrate

It is never easy to change the culture of a program but second year head women’s basketball coach Darcie Vincent is up for the task. Vincent and the new-look Mountaineers are ready to climb to the top of the South-ern Conference and return the program to regional and national prominence.

Talent and youth is theme of the Appala-chian squad that is returning just one senior and two juniors from 2008-09.

Although the roster may appear to lack depth, plenty of players have experience, as four starters return to the mix along with four other letter winners.

The Mountaineers look to improve upon their 9-22 overall mark and 7-13 conference record from the 2008-09 campaign.

Fresh faces will be prevalent on the ASU bench, as Vincent has hired three coaches with a well-spring of basketball knowledge to build upon the squad’s 2008-09 success.

Associate head coach Heather Kearney, recruiting coordinator Andrea Gross and assistant coach Kiesha Mack all joined Ap-palachian in the spring of 2009.

The trio post an impressive resume between them and possess the coaching attributes to help turn Appalachian back into a championship caliber program.

Kearney served as the head coach at the University of California-Pennsylvania for one year after Vincent left to join the Apps. In her lone year at helm, she led the Vulcans to an NCAA Elite Eight appearance, along with a final national ranking of No.4 in the country. She was also honored as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Coach of the Year.

Kearney and Vincent have much history, as Kearney served as the associate head coach under Vincent at Cal and played for Vincent at Slippery Rock from 1995-1999.

Gross brings a vast amount of experience to the program, as the recruiting coordinator. She has served coaching stints at Colgate, Longwood and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. She was also a graduate assistant at Cal when the Vulcans captured the 2004 Division II national cham-pionship.

Gross was a four-year letterwinner at Wil-liam and Mary and was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 1999.

Mack rounds out the impressive coach-ing staff as she comes to Appalachian after a successful playing career at West Chester University and serving as an assistant coach for one year at East Stroudsburg.

on being a pure shooting guard.”To complement Ramirez, junior Brittney

Spencer is another guard that factors into the equation. Spencer ran the point for the Black and Gold a season ago and finished 10th in the league in assists with 92, averag-ing three per game.

Offensively, the Virginia native had 11contests in double-figures scoring, pouring in a career-high 20 points in the Apps 68-59 defeat of Georgia Southern in the regular season finale. Spencer nabbed her first-ever SoCon Player of the Week honors for her standout performance against the Eagles.

In a category that ASU could stand to improve upon, Spencer was looked upon as leader, as she went a team-best .763 from the charity stripe. Her consistency helped ASU seal wins at the end of contests.

“We are looking for big results from Spencer on the court this season” Vincent said. “Last season, she showed she can shoot the perimeter ball and get to the rim. She is continuing to hone her skills and we look for her strong play throughout the season.”

The talent is even deeper at the guard spot with sophomore Sade’ Means set to be an even bigger contributor this season.

Means came off the bench for Appalachian last year and made an immediate impact, as she possesses the intangible hustle fac-tor that proved to be vital to the Black and Gold’s success.

Against SoCon foes, she averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 boards per contest, while also recording nine blocks and 28 steals.

For her impressive play, Means nabbed all-freshman team honors from the league’s coaches.

“We are expecting a lot out of Sade’, as she now knows the pace and physicalness of col lege basketball. She is one of our more tale-

Introduction

Mixon had five games where she scored 20-plus points, posted 23 games in double-figures scoring and had nine double-doubles a season ago. She also was counted on de-fensively, as she swatted 62 blocks to break ASU’s single season block record and was second on the team in rebounding.

Although the shoes may seem too big to fill, all eyes will be on sophomore Catherine Williams to get the job done. Williams began her freshman year with a bang, recording seven blocks in the Apps fourth game of the year against Alabama A&M, tying the single game school record in blocks. She also hauled in a career-high 14 rebounds in the contest.

Williams saw action in 28 games, starting 10, and returns as the squads leader in field goal percentage with a .527 season average.

“Cat is another tremendous athletic player with surprising strength at the low-post position,” Vincent said. “ Her experience as a freshman combining with her talent and improvement from last season, there is no reason she shouldn’ t be one of the best posts in the SoCon.”

The other returner at the position for the Black and Gold is fellow sophomore Haley Hackett.

A strong presence under the basket, Hack-ett played in 14 games before her season came to a halt due to a season-ending knee injury against Gardner-Webb. On the offen-sive front, she chipped in scoring in 9-of-14 games.

“Getting Haley back on the court has been the main goal,” Vincent said. “We look to her to focus on controlling the boards and play-ing tough defense this season.”

“Canesha is one of the best athletes I have ever coached, Vincent said. “Her aggressive play, especially on the boards makes her a huge asset. “

Sophomore Charmene Means will also be a factor at the three position, as Means was an instrumental part in ASU’s first SoCon win of the 2008-09 season. Against Elon, Means scored a season-high 10 points and brought in five rebounds.

Simliar to twin-sister Sade’, Means is a very hard-worker and a strong team leader on both the bench and the hardwood.

“Like last season, we will look to Charmene to give us that boost needed on the de-fensive end of the court,” Vincent said. “We also look to her to strengthen our team in transition and give us the much needed easy points.”

Freshman Courtney Freeman will also compete for playing time at the guard/forward spot. The McDonald’s all-America

nominee is extremely athletic and was a 1,000-plus point performer at Madison Coun-ty High School in Danielsville, Ga.

“Courtney is one of our more physical players”, Vincent said. “A former standout at the post position in high school, she dominates opposing guards and has a nice perimeter game which will produce good things for us this season.”

Replacing the team’s top scorer from 2008-09, in Brittany Mixon, will be the main challenge at the forward position for ASU. Mixon is the lone starter that the Apps lost, but her play was vital to the team’s offense and defense a season ago.

Guards/Forwards

nted players at getting to the rim and that will will cause a lot of match-up problems for our opponents,” Vincent said.

The three guards are joined by one new-comer in Kansas transfer Chakeitha Weldon, who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. Weldon saw action in 10 games with the Jayhawks before her sophomore season was cut short due to a knee injury.

“Entering her first season with the team in a playing capacity, we are looking forward to seeing her in action. Chakeitha has a real physical strength and uncanny ability to see the entire floor. She thrives off of transition and defense and as a coach, I could not ask for anything more.”

This versatile position starts with sopho-more standout Canesha Edwards. An absolute force on the boards and a defensive stalwart for the Black and Gold, Edwards fin-ished first on the team in rebounds with 233 last season, averaging 7.5 per game.

The scholar-athlete hauled in a career-best 17 boards against Furman on December 20, 2008 and finished fifth in the SoCon and first among all freshman in the category. She was also seventh in the country for freshman in rebounding. Her rebounding forte’ was on the defensive end, where she grabbed 157 of her boards.

Posting a dual defensive and offensive threat, Edwards tallied seven contests in double-figures scoring, with her best show-ing coming in an 18- point outing in Appala-chian’s win over UNCG.

The sophomore picked up SoCon coaches all-freshman team honors for her solid play throughout the season.

Senior Karina Mill was expected to contribute as well this season, but her role will change, as the biology major suffered a

season-ending knee injury over the summer, which limits her contributions to leadership and encouragement from the sidelines.

“Karina continues to be an off-the-court leader for us. She excels in the classroom and will be looked upon to provide the team with senior leadership this season,” Vincent said.

Williams and Hackett are accompanied by a plethora of freshmen who all hold impres-sive high school credentials.

Newcomers Ashlen Dewart, Anna Freeman and Kelsey Sharkey will all be called upon to help fill the void at the post position.

Dewart is an all-state performer from South Carolina who was also named a North Carolina-South Carolina all-star. Basektball runs in the family for the freshman, as her sis-ter, Bailey, plays for SoCon rival Chattanooga.

“Ashlen is a true low post presence,” Vin-cent said. “She has great footwork and can shoot from three point range. She will be a very difficult match-up for many teams and will be a go-to player for us this season.”

Freeman was the three-time conference player of the year at East Davidson High School, along with earning Davidson County Female Athlete of the Year honors.

Capping off the stout incoming class is Sharkey, who nabbed all-city honorable-mention honors and was a high school scholar-athlete at Saint Ursula Academy in Cincinatti, Ohio.

“Anna is our most talented all-around player,” Vincent said. “She excels at all areas of the game and is another freshman who comes from a great high school program and basketball-rich family.”

“Kelsey will get inside and go at it with the best of them”, Vincent said. “She has good size for the small forward position and is one of our most consisent three- point shooters. She really understands the game of basket-ball and plays with a ton of energy.”

The Mountaineers have their work cut out for them with a tough schedule set for the upcoming campaign.

The season opens with a trip to Appa-lachian’s former SoCon rival Marshall on November 13. The Apps will be looking forrevenge, as the Thundering Herd handed ASU a two-point defeat in last years sea-son-opener. After the brief road-stint, the Mountaineers return to the comfy confines of the Holmes Center for their home opener against Charlotte. The two teams have not faced each other since 2005.

Appalachian’s homestand is quick-lived as

a three-game road swing begins on Novem-ber 24 with a game at Gardner-Webb and then a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa. for Thanksgiv-ing weekend to compete in the Pittsburgh Tournament.

The Black and Gold’s grueling SoCon slate begins in earnest on December 2, as the Apps host Georgia Southern. The schedule is not any easier for ASU who heads to David-son to face the Wildcats on December 7.

A two game homestand awaits the Apps on their arrival home, with contests against East Tennessee State and Furman, before heading up north to take on five-time de-fending Mid-American Conference champion and 2009 WNIT participant Bowling Green.

The new year starts with a bang, as ASUhosts Elon on January 2, before traveling to

Cullowhee, N.C. to play Western Carolina, the 2009 SoCon Tournament champions.

The Black and Gold then return home for three games in six days, as the Apps face Richmond for the first time since 2006 on January 6, then play SoCon regular-season champion Chattanooga on January 9 and cap off the tough homestand with a contest against top-tier SoCon competitor Samford on the 11th.

The latter part of the schedule consists of trips to Greensboro, N.C. and Charleston, S.C. along with five more home matches, starting January 23 with a game against Davidson, and then the regular season home-finale against the College of Charleston on Febru-ary 22. ASU’s final regular season game of the 2009-10 campaign is on February 27 at Georgia Southern.

The Apps final regular-season game of the 2009-10 campaign is on February 27 at Georgia Southern.

With a change in location, ASU heads to Charlotte, N.C. for the 2009-10 Southern Conference Tournament, which takes place March 4-8.

Vincent has much anticipation for the upcoming campaign.

“We are excited and anxious to get the 2009-10 season underway. As a program, we are looking forward to facing tough opponents in both conference and non-conference action. The early non-conference contests will test our young squad and really force us to play together. As always, the So-Con schedule is tough, but with a great new rejuvinated group of young women, we look forward to seeing what we can accomplish during league play and compete for a 2010 Southern Conference championship.”

Darcie Vincent became the seventh head coach in Appala-chian State University history on April 24, 2008 after eight years as the head coach of California (Pa.), where she led the Vulcans to their first-ever NCAA Division II national title in 2004.

In her first season at helm, Vincent helped the program earn more overall and more conference wins than the previous season, with the Mountaineers posting a 9-22 record and going 7-13 in SoCon play.

Under her guidance, ASU advanced to the quarterfinals of the SoCon Tournament for the first time since the 2006-07 season. She also coached Sade’ Means and Canesha Edwards to SoCon Coaches all-freshman honors and helped Brittany Mixon pick up SoCon Sports Media Association second-team all-conference honors and earn second team all-tournament recognition.

The Mountaineers also defeated SoCon foe Davidson for the first time since 2005-06 and beat Georgia Southern in the squad’s regular-season finale, defeating the Eagles for the first time since 2006-07.

In her tenure as a head coach, Vincent’s teams have won 20 or more games eight times.

Vincent held a 212-47 record at California University and led the Vulcans to a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title four times and posted four second-place finishes in the confer-ence as well.

The Fairmont, W. Va. native was named the 2004 PSAC West and WBCA Regional Coach of the Year after leading the team to a 35-1 record and the national title. Her teams posted an 82-14 conference record under her tutelage.

Vincent was 52-54 in her four years at Slippery Rock where she took the team to the NCAA Elite Eight in 1999-2000. Her mark of 23-7 that season stands as the most wins in school history. The team’s three NCAA tournament wins came by an average of 15 points.

She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Duquesne, then spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Slippery Rock before taking over the head coaching reins for

The Rock in 1996.In two years as an assistant under Laura Williges, Vincent

helped The Rock to winning seasons of 21 and 14 wins. Vincent earned a bachelor’s degree in business marketing

(1992) and a master’s in business administration (1994) from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where she was named all-Atlantic 10 three times and earned Kodak all-District honors as well. Catherine Kunz and Renee DeVarney coached the Dukes during Vincent’s playing days.

She left her mark in the school’s record book, as she still ranks second in career steals (323), third in career scoring (1,538), as-sists (555) and free throws and ranks fourth in free throw percentage (.803) and career three point field goals (151). She holds the distinc-tion as being the first female inducted into the Duquesne Ath-letic Hall of Fame in 2000. The guard averaged 14.2 points per game for her career and more than 17 points per game her final three years as a player.

Vincent resides in Boone, where she enjoys camping, golfing, hiking and mountain biking.

In her first season at helm, head Coach Darcie Vincent helped Appalachian State University women’s basketball post more overall and more Southern Conference wins than the previous season and coached the Mountaineers to the Southern Conference quarterfinals for the first time since 2006-07.

With just one senior and one junior on the 2008-09 squad, the Mountaineers relied heavily on underclassmen, with two sophomores and two freshmen consistently rounding out the lineup.

The impressive freshmen performances began in the first game of the year, as Canesha Edwards and Sade Means both posted breakout games against Marshall. Despite the Apps dropping a close contest, falling 67-65, Means scored a game-high 17 points and Edwards chipped in 11 points along with 10 rebounds.

Edwards finished the season averaging a team-best 7.5 boards per game, with a total of 233. The Newnan, Ga. native also capped off the season ranked seventh among freshman rebounders in the country. Means paced the freshmen class on the offensive front, averaging a newcomer-best seven points per game, scoring a total of 217 points on the season.

For their consistent strong showings through-out the campaign, both Edwards and Means were named to the SoCon Coaches all-Freshman team.

The Mountaineers captured their first win of the season on November 24, defeating Alabama A&M 65-52 in the Holmes Center.

Sophomore guard Frances Hernandez paced Appalachian offensively in the contest, scoring what was then a career-high 26 points. Catherine Williams led the way on the defensive end, as the freshman hauled in 14 rebounds and seven blocks, tying a single-game blocks record.

Williams played in 28 games, starting ten of them and was a solid post threat for Appalachian. She finished the season with 118 points, 96 boards and 23 steals.

Karina Mill came on strong early for ASU and was a consistent presence for the Black and Gold during the season. The lone junior came into the 2008-09 season with just four career points, but showed great strides early on, posting a career-high eight points against East Tennessee State, while playing in a total of 27 contests and scoring

eers were able to snap a five-game losing streak to the Wildcats, who at the time were third in confer-ence standings. For her performance, Hernandez was named SoCon Player of the Week.

ASU’s SoCon winning streak continued with notable victories over Furman and Wofford.

In the final stretch of the season, ASU dropped a heart-breaker to tournament runner-up College of Charleston. The Apps led by two points with under thirty seconds to play but a last second three pointer sunk the Black and Gold who ended up falling 57-55.

Appalachian broke its four game losing streak, as the squad closed out its season on a strong note with a 68-59 win over Georgia Southern in the regular season finale. Sophomore guard Brittney Spencer had an outstanding performance, recording a career-high 20 points to go along with four assists, helping ASU snap a four-game losing streak to the Eagles, which dated back to the 2006-07 season.

Spencer’s play continued to improve through-out the season, as the guard averaged three assists per game and recorded 92 on the season, putting her at 10th in the SoCon. She had at least one assist in 30-of-31 contests with a career-high eight coming against Davidson. She followed up that performance with seven at Elon and six against UNCG, Davidson, Furman and Chattanooga.

For her strong showing against Georgia South-ern, Spencer picked up her first ever award, as she was named the Southern Conference Player of the Week.

The Mountaineers carried their momentum into the Southern Conference Tournament, captur-ing a win in the first round of play, sneaking past Furman in a 63-60 victory. Although the Black and Gold trailed by 14 at the break, a furious second- half rally, led by Ramirez’s 17 and Mixon’s 12 sec-ond half points, propelled ASU to a thrilling win.

The Apps’ season came to a halt the following day as top-seeded Chattanooga proved to be too much for ASU, earning an 86-53 win over the Black and Gold, in the SoCon quarterfinals.

The Apps finished the 2008-09 campaign with a 9-22 record overall, including a 7-13 mark in SoCon play.

55 points during the season.With six of the next eight contests on the road,

including a trip to the nation’s capital to play Georgetown and George Mason, the schedule proved to be a challenge for the Apps who were unable to notch a win in any of the slated contests.

During the early portion of the season freshman Haley Hackett made a name for herself, as she be-came a consistent low post threat for ASU. Hackett made her first career start against Western Carolina and contributed on the offensive end, chipping in five points on four different occasions, before her season was cut short, due to a season ending knee injury suffered against Gardner Webb.

The new year proved to be good for ASU who earned its first SoCon win of the season on January 6 against Elon. Despite being down at halftime, Appalachian outscored Elon in the second half by six points to earn a 63-59 win over the Phoenix at Alumni Gym. Senior Brittany Mixon stepped up her game, as she recorded a career-high 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Two other Mountaineers scored in double-figures as well, with Sam Ramirez scoring 14 points and Charmene Means adding 10. Means saw action in 28 games for the Black and Gold.

The senior would continue with her impressive performances during the course of the season, as she scored in double-figures in 23- of- 31 games and led the team in scoring on 11 different occa-sions, along with recording nine double-doubles on the season. Finishing her four-year stint with ASU in style, Mixon had all five of her 20-plus point career scoring outings as a senior. She also recorded at least one assist in 16 games, at least one steal in 20 contests and at least one block in 23-of-31 games. The Florida native closed out her career with 107 blocks, third on the all-time list, and broke the single season school record in blocks, swatting 62 on the season. In 2008-09 she set career highs in points (25) against Elon, assists (3) against Western Carolina and Furman, steals (5) against Georgia Southern and blocks (6) against East Tennessee State.For her efforts, she earned her first-ever postseason honors, as she was named to the Southern Conference Sports Media Association second team all-conference and second team all-SoCon Tournament.

The Apps picked up another strong win on January 12, beating UNC Greensboro 73-68 in front of a record crowd of 1573 at the Holmes Center. Edwards came up big for the Mountaineers once again, scoring a career-high 18 points and recording her third double-double of the season, hauling in 11 rebounds. Sam Ramirez was the Apps’ second-leading scorer, chipping in 16 points and grabbing a career-high 10 boards.

Ramirez had a stellar sophomore season for the Black and Gold, as the guard finished first in the SoCon with 136 assists on the season, averaging 4.4 per contest. She also ranked first in assist- turn-over ratio, seventh in steals and scored in double-figures 16 times.

Appalachian’s most impressive victory of the season came at Davidson, when the Apps handily ran past the Wildcats on January 24, beating DC 77-57. Led by Frances Hernandez’ career-high 27 points, including 21 in the first half, the Mountain-

Brittany Mixon finished her career third on the all-time block list.

Sam Ramirez led the SoCon in assists and assist-turnover ratio during the 2008-09 season.

BOONE, N.C. - Freshman Sadé Means announced her presence with authority in her collegiate debut, leading the Mountaineers with 17 points in a 67-65 setback against Marshall in the season opener.

Appalachian shot a decent 44 percent from the field and 53 percent from down-town but was unable to overcome 20 offensive boards by Marshall.

Catherine Williams scored the first points for the season to give the Mountaineers (0-1) a 2-0 lead 90 seconds into the game. Sophomore Brittney Spencer handled a majority of the ASU scoring over the next seven minutes with nine points. The guard helped spark a 9-0 run as ASU overcame a 14-9 deficit to take an 18-14 lead 12 minutes into the half.

Spencer finished the night with a career-high nine points and added two rebounds and an assist. Williams battled foul trouble early on in her debut and finished the game with four points on 2-of-2 shooting and a rebound in nine minutes on the court.

The teams went back and forth for the remainder of the half as ASU led by as many as eight points in the half after Means knocked down her second trey of the game to make it 31-23. The Mountaineers took a 31-25 advantage into the locker room.

In addition to her 17 points, Means pulled down six rebounds and added a block and an assist to go along with 7-for-10 shooting on the night. She sank all three attempts from beyond the arc.

Frances Hernandez came on strong out of the intermission with a three-pointer with an assist from Sam Ramirez. Marshall (1-0) pulled within two points at 38-36 but Means responded with seven of Appalachian’s next 13 poins to help establish a six-point advantage at 47-41 seven points into the second half.

Hernandez sank four of her seven attempts from downtown and dished out a pair of assists and closed out the night with 13 points. Ramirez handed out a career high 10 assists to go along with four points and four boards. Her 10 assists were the most by a Mountaineer since Whitney Tossie had 10 against Georgetown in November 2006.

The Thundering Herd methodically crept back within one point at 60-59 as three minutes remained in regulation and tied the game with 1:05 to play, 64-64. The visitors then stole the ball back and took a lead on a free throw with 30 seconds to play.

Means had a shot blocked with 10 seconds to go and Canesha Edwards leapt the highest out of the pile to grab the offensive rebound but was called for traveling as she came down with the ball.

Edwards led the team with 10 rebounds in the game. The freshman completed the double-double with 11 points, five of which came from the free throw line. She also led the team with five of ASU’s nine steals in the game.

After the Herd cushioned the lead with a pair of free throws as the clock struck :05, Ramirez got the ball up to Hernandez in the corner for a last chance trey to tie. Hernandez was fouled on her attempt and was awarded three shots from the foul line with just four-tenths of a second remaining.

The first shot rimmed out before the sophomore sank the second to pull within 67-65. Hernandez intentionally missed the third shot but the deflection fell towards the baseline as time expired.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball opened the season with a second-straight close game that ended in a hard-fought loss. The Mountaineers were unable to regain a lead late in an 80-75 setback at East Carolina.

Sam Ramirez led the team with 17 points and the Mountaineers (0-2) owned the boards with a 53-35 advantage on the glass in the game, led by Canesha Edwards with 16.

After missing two of their first three, the Mountaineers connected on each of their next four shots to take a 12-11 lead. Ramirez had seven of the team’s first 15 points, as the score went back and forth for the first 10 minutes of the game.

Ramirez shot 8-for-14 from the floor and added eight rebounds and five assists for the night.

ECU (2-0) started feeding the ball into the post to take a 26-21 lead before the Apps picked the pace of the game. The Apps immediately took off on a 9-2 run to regain the lead, 28-26. The score stayed close as the teams traded the lead back and forth for the rest of the half as ECU took a 36-34 advantage into the locker room.

Appalachian won the battle on the boards in the first 20 minutes with 16 offen-sive and 33 total rebounds compared to just 16 total for the Pirates.

To open the second half, Frances Hernandez nailed a three-pointer to give ASU the lead and then converted a rare four-point play to extend the lead to 45-40 three minutes into the half.

ECU battled back to take a 67-64 lead with five minutes to play. Seven points from Brittney Spencer and a Ramirez bucket pulled ASU within one at 69-68 with just over four minutes to play, however, and another trey from Hernandez tied the score at 71 with 2:52 remaining.

Spencer turned in another career performance while running the point, with 16 points and three assists. Hernandez chipped in 15 points and a game-high seven assists on the night. She has made four three-pointers in each of the two games this season.

The Apps never completed the comeback in the final moments of the game and a LaCoya Terry jumper with 34 seconds remaining put the Pirates up by five points, which proved to be the final margin in the 80-75 loss. Terry led ECU with 34 points on 13-of-20 shooting.

Edwards made her first career start in the game and had another solid perfor-mance with 15 points, 16 rebounds and two of ASU’s six steals. Her 16 boards were the most since Brittany Mixon pulled down 16 last January. Her double-double was the second in as many games this season.

The Apps shot 38 percent from the floor on 13-of-30 shooting and converted 10-of-12 from the free throw line for an 83 percent clip. ECU led Appalachian 20-2 in fast-break points and 24-8 in points off the bench. Haley Hackett scored five and Sadé Means added three points off the bench for the Mountaineers.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Sadé Means scored nine points and pulled down 10 rebounds but Appalachian State University women’s basketball struggled with turnovers and field goal shooting as Wake Forest dealt the Mountaineers a 68-35 at the Joel Memorial Coliseum Annex.

Means connected on 4 of her 12 shots on the night and sank 1-of-3 free throws to lead the Mountaineer offense. She swatted a block and snagged a steal but accounted for 10 of ASU’s season-high 38 turnovers.

The Apps hit just three of their first 10 shots to fall into a 14-10 hole early on, be-fore the Demon Deacons took off on a 16-4 run before both teams settled down late in the half as ASU made up a little ground to take a 33-18 deficit at halftime.

ASU scored nine second-chance points and finished with 12 in the game.

Appalachian (0-3) turned the ball over 17 times in the first half, which led to 13 Demon Deacon points. Neither team shot particularly well in the opening 20 minutes, as ASU hit just 7-of-24 shots for 29 percent while WFU hit 39 percent of its shots. The Apps did have one bright spot in the half with a 21-19 edge in rebounding.

Along with Means, Sam Ramirez and Brittney Spencer scored four points each in the first half to lead the team. Ramirez was held scoreless in the second half but totaled four rebounds and two assists while leading the team with three steals. Spencer tallied six points in the game on 3-for-6 six shooting with three rebounds.

Freshman Canesha Edwards came back down to earth after starting her career with a pair of double-doubles. The Newnan, Ga. native was still active on the glass with eight rebounds but scored just two points on 1-of-5 shooting in 27 minutes.

Wake Forest (2-0) came out firing after the intermission and scored five points within the next 45 seconds and scored the first 11 points of the half. Nearly five minutes elapsed before the Apps got on the board, as Frances Hernandez knocked down the team’s only three-pointer of the game to cut the score to 44-21.

Hernandez finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals. Catherine Williams pulled down a career-best five rebounds and added one point.

Surprisingly, the 35 points were the most allowed by the Demon Deacons this season, as they held UNC Greensboro to just 27 in the season opener. The last time Appalachian failed to score 40 points was 2005-06, when ASU was held to 38 by Chattanooga.

BOONE, N.C. - Frances Hernandez scored a career-high 26 points and Catherine Williams tied a school record with seven blocked shots to help Appalachian State University women’s basketball to its first win of the year, 65-52, against Alabama A&M.

The Mountaineers (1-3) shook off the early struggles from last Friday to score the first 11 points of the game over eight minutes. During the stretch, AAMU missed its first 10 shots. Over the span, Brittany Mixon scored six points while Sam Ramirez dished out three assists.

Mixon fouled out of the game with a season-high 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting to go along with five rebounds in 21 minutes. Ramirez pitched in seven points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals in the victory.

The Bulldogs (2-2) pulled within 21-20 late in the half, but a pair of three-pointers and paint buckets from Williams, the Apps finished the half on a 7-2 run over the final four to take a 28-22 advantage to the locker room.

Williams pulled down eight rebounds in the first half and finished the game with 14 boards to go along with seven points, seven blocks and two steals. Her block total matched Valorie Whiteside’s mark, set against Furman in 1985. The team’s nine blocks were just one shy of the record, set in 2005 against Western Carolina.

The Apps shot 40 percent in the opening period compared to just 24 percent for the visitors. ASU converted 3-of-8 treys while AAMU missed all six deep attempts. The Apps shot 41.8 percent for the game, sinking 23-of-55 shots. The Bulldogs hit just 28 percent of their attempts on the night.

Appalachian started the second half in the same manner, with a 9-2 run spanning just more than three minutes. Alabama A&M closed the gap with a 9-0 run of its own over the next four minutes. The Bulldogs then tied the score at 41-41 with seven minutes to play before Haley Hackett scored four-straight points to spark an 8-0 run over the next two minutes.

Hackett finished the game with four points and three rebounds over 11 minutes, as she battled foul trouble with four fouls. Sadé Means added a team-high five assists to go along with two points and five boards in the game.

The Mountaineers finished the game on a 24-11 run after the tie, including 13 from Hernandez, who scored half of her points in the final six minutes of the game. She shot 10-for-17 from the floor and 4-of-7 from beyond the arc in 34 minutes. She added three rebounds, three steals and two assists.

Her 26 points were the most since Whitney Tossie dropped 27 against Georgia Southern last March.

ASU recorded a season-low seven offensive rebounds and were out-boarded 47-41 in the game. It was a night of firsts for the Mountaineers, as head coach Darcie Vincent picked up her first win with the Black and Gold. Vincent is 265-104 overall in her 13th season as a coach.

BOONE, N.C. - Brittany Mixon scored a career-high 24 points while two guards matched their career bests, but it was not enough as Appalachian State fell to Davidson 95-75 in its home SoCon opener.

Brittany Spencer scored Appalachian’s (1-6, 0-2 SoCon) first six points of the game as the teams found themselves knotted up 6-6 after five minutes. The ‘Cats missed their first five shots of the game and shot just 35 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes.

Spencer went on to tie her career best with 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and came just two assists shy of a double-double. The sophomore point guard added five rebounds and two steals as she became the first Mountaineer to play all 40 minutes in a game this season.

The teams stayed nearly even throughout most of the first half, until Davidson (3-5, 2-0) created some separation with a 6-0 run to earn a 29-22 lead. ASU battled back to get within two points at 31-29 and 35-33 but DC’s Alex Thompson drained a long three-pointer as the buzzer expired to give the visitors a 38-33 edge at the break.

Thompson scored a career high 35 points and broke a Davidson school record with nine three-pointers as the Wildcats sank 13 threes in the game. The 13 treys allowed ties the most in a game by an ASU opponent.

The Apps shot 48 percent from the floor in the first half, led by 5-of-7 shooting from Spencer. A by-product of the high shooting percentage was that ASU boarded just three offensive rebounds in the first 20 minutes, but held a 21-20 advantage in overall rebounds.

In the second half, the Wildcats struck first with another trey before Spencer sank a jumper one minute in. DC then opened up the game to 48-37 before Sam Ramirez sank her second field goal of the game. ASU pulled back within 48-41 with a Mixon putback four minutes into the period.

Ramirez tied a career high of her own in points with 19 on 8-of-15 shooting with a pair of treys. She added four assists and three rebounds off the bench.

ASU shot 44 percent from the floor in the game hit just 2-of-11 from downtown in the game. ASU converted 9-of-14 from the charity stripe, compared to 24-of-33 for the Willdcats. Davidson collected 13 of its 29 field goals from beyond the arc and finished the game at 47 percent.

The Wildcats then took advantage of offensive opportunities over the next several minutes to push the lead to 61-47. Mixon took over the game for Appala-chian at that point with six-straight points to close the gap to 65-53.

That was the most the Mountaineers challenged for the remainder of the after-noon, as Davidson pulled ahead by as many as 24 before ASU fired back to make the final margin 20 points at 95-75.

Canesha Edwards posted nine points and nine rebounds as the starting small forward while junior Karina Mill made her first career start and scored five points with two blocks in 29 minutes.

WICHITA, Kan. - The buckets wouldn’t fall and foul trouble came early and often as Appalachian State University women’s basketball fell 63-46 at Wichita State. The Apps shot 28 percent from the floor and did not sink a three-pointer in the game.

Brittany Mixon knocked down three of her first four shots to score the first six points of the game for the Mountaineers before Brittney Spencer drained a jumper to give the Apps an 8-7 lead early on.

Mixon finished the game with 14 points on 5-for-11 shooting with four free throws in the game. The senior had four fouls over 27 minutes as well. She pulled down six rebounds and also added a steal.

Spencer connected on 2-of-6 shots for the night for four points to go along with four assists and a team-high four steals.

From there, the Shockers (5-2) took off on a 6-0 run and extended the lead to 16-9 before Spencer and Frances Hernandez pulled the Apps back to a three-point deficit two times at 13-16 and 15-18. Unfortunately, six points from Marisah Henderson helped WSU to a 26-15 advantage 15 minutes into the first half.

From there the teams traded buckets to end the half, as Wichita State took a 30-21 advantage into the locker room.

The Mountaineers (1-7) shot 29 percent (9-of-31) in the opening 20 minutes compared to 40 percent for the Shockers. The biggest difference came at the free-throw line, however, as WSU made it to the line 15 times for 10 points compared to a 3-of-4 mark for ASU.

Sam Ramirez led the team with five assists and four steals to go along with seven rebounds.

WSU came out firing in the second half, connecting on each of its first three at-tempts from the floor and pushing the lead to 42-21 over a four-minute span.

The Apps missed their first seven shots of the half before Canesha Edwards sank a jumper in the paint. Sadé Means then hit two free throws and a jumper to bring the score to 44-27.

Edwards led the team with 11 rebounds and added six points. The freshman also had an assist but was sidelined a bit with four fouls. Karina Mill started her second-straight game and fouled out in 12 minutes of play with one assist.

Means scored 13 points on five field goals and added seven rebounds and a pair of steals.

Appalachian cut the lead to 14 points with six minutes to play but would not challenge any further as the Shockers pulled away for the 63-46 final.

The Apps made 9-of-31 from the field and 10-of-15 from the free throw line. It was the first time since last February that the Mountaineers did not record a three-pointer. WSU shot 44 percent from the field and knocked in 16-of-26 free throws. ASU turned the ball over 32 times compared to 25 for the Shockers.

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Sam Ramirez scored a career-high 22 points and a furious second-half surge from Charmene Means helped pull the Mountaineers back into the game, but the effort fell just short as Furman defeated Appalachian State University women’s basketball 75-66.

Brittney Spencer put in the first bucket of the game before Furman knocked down its first two three-point attempts. Karina Mill scored the next six for the Apps to cut into an early 12-8 Paladin lead.

Ramirez took care of nine of the team’s next 12 points en route to her first-half mark of 14. Appalachian (1-8, 0-3 SoCon) shot 41 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes and connected on 7-of-10 free throws. The Paladins con-nected on 46 percent of shots and 7-of-12 from the charity stripe.

In addition to her 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Ramirez pulled in five rebounds and led the team with four steals. Spencer scored five points in 19 minutes on the day while Mill scored seven points with eight rebounds. She collected three of the team’s 13 steals as well.

Canesha Edwards had one of her most impressive performances of the season with nine first-half rebounds to lead all players. She finished the game with a career-high 17 boards to go along with six points, three steals and an assist.

The biggest reasons for the 43-33 Furman (5-5, 1-2) halftime advantage were a 12-8 offensive rebound advantage and 14 turnovers forced compared to eight for ASU in the opening 20 minutes.

The second half was a different story on the boards as the Apps finished the game with 51 total rebounds and 27 on the offensive glass.

Ramirez continued her run when the second half opened as she knocked down her first attempt to cut the lead to eight points. From there, the barrage of three-pointers began, as Kali Holtfreter and Melissa Liebschwager drained two each early in the period to help increase the lead to 60-42 with 12 minutes remaining. The two FU players led the team with a combined 39 points.

Means and Ramirez then converted fast-break opportunities to ignite a run as Means scored the next seven points for the Apps to chip away at the lead to bring it to 66-53 with just under eight minutes remaining.

Means set career highs with nine points and six rebounds - five on the offensive end - in the game. The freshman also accounted for two of ASU’s four blocks.

Edwards got a put-back basket and Ramirez hit a pair of free throws and a layup as the Apps cut the score to 66-59 with five minutes remaining. The Apps kept the deficit at seven points for the next two minutes but were unable to challenge any further as the Paladins sank five foul shots in the final minutes to ice the game.

The Mountaineers take a week off for the holiday break before taking on George-town in Washington, D.C. on December 28.

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball outscored Georgetown 27-25 in the second half, but was unable to muster comeback as the Mountaineers (1-9) fell behind early to the Hoyas (10-2) and dropped the contest 63-46.

Senior Brittany Mixon responded to an early deficit as she headed to the charity stripe but was only able to hit one of two free throws for Appalachian’s first point of the game. Georgetown picked up its pace going on a 5-0 run to go up 6-1. By the 13:15 mark GU was able to extend its lead to eight points and didn’t look back for the remainder of the half.

After a little over two minute scoring drought for both squads, Meredith Cox nailed a three-pointer to put GU up by 11, but Sam Ramirez was able to answer with a trey of her own to cut the margin back down to eight at 21-13. Ramirez closed out the contest with seven points, four boards and a steal.

Four straight points by Georgetown on two made free throws by Krystle Hatton and one layup off an ASU turnover pushed the score to 27-15. The Hoyas were able to score ten points in the final four minutes before the intermission while ASU was only able to score three as GU took the 38-19 lead into the half.

The Apps coughed up the ball 15 times in the first half compared to GU’s seven turnovers, while Mixon paced the Mountaineers heading into the half with seven points. The forward ended the game with a team-best 11 points to go along with five rebounds and two steals .

GU came out strong after the break, as Adria Crawford hit a layup to push the score to 40-19. The Mountaineers scored two back to back buckets to cut the advantage to 17.

Sophomore Brittney Spencer had a hot shooting hand in the first seven minutes of the second half as she scored eight of ASU’s 12 points, six off of three pointers. The local product scored 10 points in front of a friendly crowd to go with a team-best three assists.

Canesha Edwards got on the board at the 13 minute mark for the first time in the second half, hitting two free throws to cut GU’s lead to the smallest of the second half at 13 points.

The Mountaineers would not challenge any further as a 21 percent field goal percentage hindered the offensive effort. The Apps were outrebounded 43-40 in the game as well.

The Apps look for redemption near the nation’s capital with a 7 p.m. contest against George Mason (1-8).

FAIRFAX, VA.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball made a solid rally in the second half, and outscored the Patriots 36-32, but it wasn’t quite enough as George Mason was able to pull out the win in a hotly contested battle, 65-57.

ASU (1-10) got off to a somewhat sluggish start as the Mountaineers were behind early on due to George Mason (2-8) going on a 4-0 run to start the game. Appala-chian’s first points of the night came at 16:45 when Charmene Means hit two free throws to make the score 4-2. The Patriots then reeled off seven straight points to go up 11 to 2. Those were Means lone two points of the night.

Brittany Mixon got the Apps going offensively as she scored eight of Appala-chian’s first ten points to cut the deficit to 13-10. George Mason responded with an offensive attack of its own, as the Patriots scored seven more straight points to take a 20 to 10 advantage. Mixon finished the evening with 14 points, 10 re-bounds and one block leading ASU in both scoring and rebounding. The Florida native recorded her second double-double of the season and sixth of her career.

The Apps were able to pull within six at the 3:37 mark, as Brittney Spencer nailed a trey, but those would be the last points of the first for ASU as GMU closed out the half on a 3-0 run to take a 33-21 advantage into the break.

Appalachian struggled early in the second as the Patriots went up 40-23 six minutes into action, spreading around their offensive wealth as Eugenia Broadus, Whiteny Ward and Brittany Eley all contribued to GMU’S scoring effort. Broadus scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds to pace the Patriots.

The Mountaineers made a strong comeback going on a two minute 5-0 run off of two Sam Ramirez made free throws and Haley Hackett’s top of the key jumper and free throw to pull within 12. Ramirez scored eight points and hauled in six rebounds, while Hackett had four points and three boards.

Ramirez kept Appalachian’s offensive attack going as she nailed a trey, while Catherine Williams and Mixon both hit layups to cut the lead to just seven under the nine minute mark. Williams had four points and five rebounds on the evening.

A little over three minute scoring drought hindered the Mountaineers, but the squad was able to get back on track when Edward’s hit a layup and Ramirez drained another three to keep GMU’s lead under double digits with five minutes remaining.

Edwards’ continued her strong play as she pulled the Apps within six, hitting a layup and nailing her ensuing free throw. Broadus came down the floor for a layup but Spencer responded with a three to give the Patriots their smallest lead of the half at 5.

George Mason would keep its lead for the remainder of the game.

Foul trouble hindered ASU as four Mountaineers fouled out of the contest.

BOONE, N.C. -Appalachian State University (2-12, 1-5) women’s basketball was up by six points at half time and as many as nine during the contest but was unable to hold onto its lead and stave off a second half surge by College of Charleston (9-5, 3-4), falling to the Cougars 64-53.

Brittany Mixon got the scoring underway for the Black and Gold hitting a jumper to give ASU the early 2-0 lead. The Cougars responded as Sarah Moye nailed a jumper of her own to tie the game at 2 apiece. Mixon finished the afternoon with ten points and six rebounds.

The Mountaineers would then jump out to a 6-2 advantage off of two made Mixon free throws and a Sam Ramirez floater in the lane, but Jade Hughes was able to cut CofC’s deficit to just two, nailing two back to back three pointers.

A steal by Canesha Edwards and the ensuing layup made the score 14-12 in ASU’s favor at the 12:35 mark. Edwards ended the game with 11 rebounds and eight points to go along with two assists and three steals.

ASU would continue its offensive aggression, going on a little over three minute run, with Catherine Williams draining two free throws, and Charmene Means hitting two layups to push the score to 23 to 16. The App’s largest lead came with three minutes to play before the break, going up 27 to 18. Appalachian was able to keep its momentum as Ramirez hit two free throws with 5 seconds to go to put ASU up 31 to 24 at intermission.

The seven point lead at the half was just the third time all season ASU had taken a lead heading into break.

The Cougars came out strong in the second and were able to cut the deficit to just one at 17:16 as Deidra Jones scored a layup, making the score the closest since the opening minutes of play. Ramirez would continue her hot shooting hand draining a trey to put ASU back up by four. The sophomore guard closed out the contest with a career-high 23 points, and tying a season-high four steals, turning the ball over zero times.

Jones was CofC’s leading scorer, recording a career-high 20 points, and hauling in four rebounds.

An Appalachian scoring drought hindered the Apps as CofC went on a little over 4 and a half minute, 8-0 run to earn their first lead of the game at 45-38.

The Black and Gold tried to regain their momentum cutting Charleston’s advantage to just three as Ramirez drained another trey, with a little under seven minutes to play, to go 5-9 on the afternoon from behind the arc.

The three points would be the smallest deficit for Appalachian, as the Moun-taineers were unable to sink a bucket the from the 4:48 mark, until 42 seconds remained in the game. During that time, the Cougars were able to capitalize, going on a 6-0 run to push the score to 62-48. A SU would score four more points over the final seconds of play, but it wasn’t enough as the College of Charleston took home the win.

Despite tying a season-low in turnovers with just 15 and shooting a gaudy 100 percent at the charity stripe, poor shooting hurt the Apps, shooting just 29 percent in the contest, while the Cougars shot 44 percent.

It was the first time since February 5, 2000 that the Black and Gold has gone perfect at the free throw line.

The Mountaineers return to action January 12, as they take on UNC Greensboro at 5 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball (3-12, 2-5) was able to hold on in the final seconds of play and capture its second SoCon win of the season, as the Mountaineers defeated conference foe UNCG (6-11, 3-5) 73-68 in front of a women’s Holmes Center record attendance crowd of 1573.

Freshman Canesha Edwards put the first points on the board of the contest, when she layed the ball in the bucket after Brittney Spencer was able to get a steal, to put Appalachian up 2-0. The freshman forward scored the Black and Gold’s first four points and finished the contest with a career-high 18 points, going a perfect 6-6 from the field. She also had 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals, recording her third double-double of the season.

After missing their first three shots UNCG scored four straight points off of two made free throws and a layup to take the early 4-2 advantage. The Spartans took their largest lead of contest at the 11:44 mark, going up 16 to 8, after Gini Grimsley nailed a three pointer and scored a layup.

ASU cut the deficit to just two points after going on a 9-0 2:27 minute run as Edwards drained a jumper, Brittney Spencer scored a transition layup and Sade Means hit back to back buckets to tie the score at 18. A Brittany Mixon free throw would put the Apps up for the first time since the early minutes of play, but it wouldn’t last long as Amanda Leigh came down the court and drilled a trey to put the Spartans back on top 21 to 19. Spencer had 14 points against UNCG, six assists, two steals and four rebounds.

The two squads would trade buckets over the course of four minutes, until Appalachian went on a 12-1 run, with sophomore guard Sam Ramirez scoring eight points, her first of the game, draining two three’s and two free throws and with Edwards having a layup to close out the final 3:36 of action, to take a 37 to 26 advantage into the break.

Ramirez was 4-9 from the three point line and for the third consecutive game was the only Mountaineer to score a trey. She finished the evening with a career-high ten rebounds, to go along with 16 points, giving her, her first double-double of her career. The sophomore guard also hauled in nine boards in the first half, matching a team and season-high, with Edwards being the only other Mountain-eer during the 2008-09 campaign to grab as many boards in the first half of play.

The lead at halftime was just the fourth time all season ASU had been ahead at the break and it was the Black and Gold’s largest lead (9 points) heading into intermission.

Edwards increased Appalachian’s lead in early minutes of second half play, hitting both of her free throws giving ASU its largest lead of the contest at 13 points.

UNCG wouldn’t go away quietly going on a run of their own, scoring seven straight points to cut Appalachian’s lead to just five at 43-36 with a little under 16 minutes to play.

Ramirez continued with her hot shooting, drilling a trey to put ASU up 49-42, but a 5-0 run cut the advantage to just two points with 8:10 remaining.

Mixon also became an offensive threat for the Apps, scoring 11 of her 14 points in the second period of play. She had 14 points and seven boards against the Spartans.

With Mixon’s scoring and Spencer’s ability to drain four crucial foul shots in the waning minutes of play, Appalachian would be able to hang on for the win.

The Apps look to carry their momentum into this weekend, as they head to Birmingham, Ala. to take on SoCon newcomer Samford, January 17 at 5 p.m.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.- 13 three pointers and a 53 percent shooting percentage by Samford, doomed Appalachian State University women’s basketball (3-13, 2-6), as the Apps were unable to come back from its largest first half deficit of the season of 27 points, falling to SoCon newcomer Samford (13-3, 8-1) 87 to 51.

Samford got out to hot start going on a 7-0 run to begin the game, off of a layup, two made free throws and three pointer by Monica Maxwell. The Black and Gold were able to get on the board at the 16:42 mark when Sam Ramirez drained two free throws to make the score 7-2. Ramirez finished the game with six points and four rebounds.

Early turnovers and missed shots hurt the Mountaineers as they were not able to score a field goal until eight minutes into action when Brittney Spencer hit a layup to cut the Bulldogs lead to 12. Spencer scored five against the Bulldogs to go along with two rebounds and one assist.

The Mountaineers then went on a two and half minute 7-0 run, as Brittney Spencer, Charmene Means and Sam Ramirez all hit shots to cut the deficit to just six, at 19-11, but the Bulldogs would respond scoring to back to back jumpers to push the score back to double-digits, leading 23-11 with a little over ten minutes to play in the half.

ASU would only score five more points over the final minutes of play off of a Brit-tany Mixon jumper and a Sade Means 3 pointer before the break, while SU went on a 12-0, four and a half minute run to end the half and take a 43-16 advantage into the break.

The 16 points were Appalachian’s lowest scoring output in the first half of the play the entire season.

Appalachian was able to get is offense going in the opening minutes of the second half, as Mixon scored two buckets for ASU to cut the score to 46 to 20. Ramirez would get in on the action as well laying the ball in the bucket for her 8th points of the contest. Mixon scored 12 of her 14 points in the second half, to go along with a team-high 14 points she also hauled in six boards.

Despite the solid effort, Chika Okoli paced the Bulldogs offensively scoring the team’s first 12 points of the second half, off of two three pointers, two jumpers and two made free throws, to put ASU down 55-27 with just over 15 minutes to play. Okoli was Samford’s leading scorer, finishing the game with a career-high 19 points, going 3-4 from behind the arc.

ASU went on a 5-0 run halfway through the second half to push the score to 55-32, but the late offensive surge was not enough as Samford went on to defeat the Apps.

The 3 point shooting really hindered the Black and Gold as the Bulldogs went 13-23 from the three point line, while ASU was just 2-9 shooting just 22 percent. The 13 3’s tied a season-high scored by an opponent, matching the 13 Davidson had against ASU back on December 6.

Appalachian continues with its road-trip as the Apps head to Rock City to take on the Lady Mocs, January 19 at 7 p.m.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.- Despite a solid first half of play, overall shooting percentage at 29 percent and poor rebounding hurt Appalachian State University women’s basketball (3-14, 2-7) against Chattanooga (13-6, 9-1), as the Mocs were able to push past ASU, winning the contest 72-43.

The Apps got out to a strong start Monday evening in McKenzie arena, going on a 4-0 run to begin the game as Chattanooga native Catherine Williams scored the first points of night and Brittney Spencer hit a floater to give ASU the early 4-0 advantage. Williams finished the evening tying a career-high in points with seven and tying a career-high in steals with two. She also had two rebounds, two blocks and one assist.

The Lady Mocs responded to Appalachian’s early offensive surge, going on a 6-0 run of their own to take the lead. Brittany Mixon would help cut UTC’s lead to just one scoring two back to back layups, her first points of the contest to make the score 11-10. The senior finished the game with four points and one block.

Chattanooga would have its largest lead of the game up to that point with a little over 10 minutes to go in the half, taking a 28-14 advantage after going on a 8-2 five and half minute run, with Shanara Hollinquest scoring three points, and Me-gan Rollins chipping in five. Rollins had a career-high 13 points and a career-high eight rebounds. Four Lady Mocs finished the evening with double-figure scoring, with Erin Ogan scoring a game-high 15 points.

Frances Hernandez would end Chattanooga’s run and ASU’s three minute scoring drought, draining a three pointer and hitting two of three free throws to cut the lead to single digits at nine with 3:58 remaining in the half.

The Apps scored one point over the final three minutes of play in the first off a Spencer free throw, and Chattanooga took a 33-20 lead into the intermission. Spencer capped off the game tying a career-high six rebounds and six steals, to go along with eight points.

The Mocs 21-4 run in the opening minutes of second half play doomed ASU, as UTC was able to push the score to 54-22, their largest lead of the contest with a little over 12 minutes left in the game. The run coupled with ASU’s scoring drought, scoring only four points in the opening eight minutes of the second half put the game out of reach for the Black and Gold.

An 11-3 little under five minute run off of a Canesha Edwards layup, two Sade Means free throws, to go along with a Karina Mill layup and Spencer jumper, was not enough for Appalachian, as they fell for the 22nd straight time to the Lady Mocs.

Means second half scoring helped propel Appalachian offensivley, scoring eight of her team-high ten points in the second, to go along with four rebounds, one assist and one block. It was the fourth time all-season that the Atlanta, Ga. native led Appalachian in scoring.

Along with poor shooting, foul trouble proved to be an achilles heel as well with Williams, Mill and Edwards all fouling out of the contest.

The Mountaineers continue with their grueling road schedule as they play an-other top SoCon team January 24, taking on the Davidson Wildcats at Belk Arena, with tip off scheduled for Noon.

DAVIDSON, N.C. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball (4-14, 3-7) got out to an early lead at Belk Arena and never looked back as the Mountaineers handily defeated SoCon rival Davidson (8-12, 7-4), 77-57. The win was ASU’s first victory over the Wildcats since the 2005-06 season, snapping a five game losing streak to DC, and it was the Apps largest margin of victory in the 2008-09 campaign. Coming into Saturday’s contest the Wildcats were third in the confer-ence standings.

Sophomore guard Frances Hernandez propelled the Apps offensively, scoring 21 first half points, the most a Mountaineer has scored in a half of action since Gigi Thomas had 23 in the second half of play on November 18, 2006 against Alabama A&M. Hernandez went 5-8 from behind the three point arc, and 6-7 from the charity stripe to cap off the afternoon with a career-high 27 points, to go along with four rebounds and two steals.

Canesha Edwards set the tempo for ASU in the opening minutes, as she battled for and won the tip off and scored the ensuing layup to give ASU the early 2-0 lead. The Apps were able to continue with their fast pace play, as they jumped out to a 26-12 lead, with Hernandez having the hot shooting hand, scoring 13 out of ASU’s 15 points to help the Black and Gold go on a little under nine minute 17-6 run.

Edwards finished the contest with six points, six boards, four steals and two assists.

ASU had a three minute scoring drought which allowed Davidson to capitalize as the Wildcats went on a 6-0 run to cut the score to 30-22 with a little over three minutes to play in the half. Appalachian responded, closing out the first half on a 12-2 run to take a 42-24 advantage heading into intermission.

The two squads battled in the second half, but early buckets by Brittany Mixon and Edwards pushed the score to 46-26.

A late 5-0 run beginning at the 8:23 mark off of a three pointer, a layup and a free throw by Davidson’s Ashley Lax proved not to be enough, as Appalachian was able to keep up its momentum and take home the win. Lax was DC’s leading scorer, with 16 points, while Mercedes Robinson posted her 11th double-double of the season with 15 points and ten rebounds.

The Mountaineers win was a total team effort, as Brittney Spencer and Mixon closed out the game in double figures in addition to Hernandez, scoring 13 and 10 points respectively.

ASU finished the game with a 54.7 shooting percentage, the best mark for the Black and Gold this season.

Appalachian looks to continue with its impressive play, as they return to the comfy confines of the Holmes Center to take on out of conference opponent Gardner-Webb, January 28 at 7 p.m.

BOONE, N.C.- Out of conference play proved to be yet another challenge for Appalachian State University (4-15) women’s basketball, as the Apps were unable to hang with a hot-shooting Gardner-Webb (11-9) squad, falling 77-62.

Frances Hernandez led ASU in scoring for the fourth time this season and for the second straight game, as the sophomore guard scored a team-high 15 points, to go along with two assists, three steals and no turnovers, while five Gardner-Webb players finished the contest in double-figures, with Laura Povilonyte having a game-high 16 points.Despite solid guard play, as Brittney Spencer was the Black and Gold’s second-leading scorer with 12 points on the night and an early lead, the Runnin’ Bulldogs were able to connect on more shots early on, as they went on a 7-0 run to jump out to a 21-11 advantage eight minutes into action.

Sam Ramirez ended Appalachian’s three mintue scoring drought, as she nailed a jumper and Sade Means forced a steal and hit the fast break layup to cut GWU’s advantage to seven. Ramirez posted four points in the contest, and Means finished with seven.

Appalachian would pull within three points with a little under four minutes to play in the first, as Catherine Williams nailed a jumper and Spencer scored a layup to make the score 30-27. Williams finished the evening with a career-high eight points, while Spencer chipped in four assists and four rebounds.

Three points would be the narrowest lead for GWU in the waning minutes of the first half as they would take the 41-33 advantage into the break.

Stout shooting the entire game by Gardner-Webb, but especially in the first half of action doomed ASU as the Runnin’ Bulldogs went 56 percent from the field and 63 percent from behind the arc. The Mountaineers didn’t score a three pointer the entire first half, for the first time since playing Wake Forest back on November 21.

An early 9-4 run by GWU pushed the score to 50-37 just five minutes into second half play.

Hernandez was able to find her shot in the second, nailing a jumper and draining Appalachian’s first three pointer of the contest to make the score 57-46 with a little over eight minutes to play.

11 points would be the closest the Black and Gold could make the score in second half action, as Gardner-Webb was able to come away with the win.

ASU returns to action January 31, heading back into conference play, hosting SoCon oppponent Furman at 1 p.m., in game one of a double-header.

BOONE, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (5-15, 4-7) continued with its impressive Southern Conference play as the Mountaineers defeated SoCon foe Furman (10-14, 4-9) in the Holmes Center 77-64. With the win the Apps move into sole possession of seventh place in the league standings and are one win away from matching their conference win total from the 2007-08 campaign.

Senior Brittany Mixon was the dominant force for the Black and Gold all around, as she recorded her fourth double-double of the season, scoring 23 points and hauling in a game-high 14 rebounds. She also had five blocks and three asissts. Along with Mixon, Sam Ramirez had a stellar game as well, falling just short of a triple-double, as she was the Mountaineer’s second leading scorer, having 17 points, in addition to nine assists and seven rebounds. The sophomore guard also recorded her first block of her career, compiling two in the game.

Appalachian’s strong start helped to propel them to the win, as ASU trailed just once the entire contest, by one point in the opening minutes of action.

An 8-0, 2:23 run pushed ASU’s early lead to 26-14, with offense coming from all over, as Ramirez nailed two jumpers, Brittney Spencer hit a bucket off a spin-dribble and Mixon had a layup. Spencer finished the contest with nine points, five boards and two assists.

Furman would step up its game on the offensive front as they were able to score two back to back buckets with Kendra Berry hitting a jumper and Shana Booker draining a three pointer to cut the Mountaineers lead to 30-27 with under four minutes remaining in the first.

Sade Means responded with a layup of her own and Mixon had two back to back scores to give the Black and Gold a 38-32 advantage heading into intermission.

ASU was able to keep up its strong play in the opening five minutes of second half, going on a 14-4 run. The run helped the Apps take its largest lead of the contest with under 12 minutes to play at 56-38.

The Paladins would not be shut out quite yet, as they were able to pull within 12 points off a little over three minute 13-5 spurt of their own.

Despite FU’s rally, Appalachian would continue its relentless offensive attack, as Ramirez drained her second trey of the contest and Mixon had another layup to give ASU the win.

Four Mountaineers finished the contest in double figure scoring, and the team shot just shy of a season best at 53.4 percent. Three Paladins were in double figure scoring as well, with Melissa Liebschwager tying a season-best 21 points that she had against the Mountaineers when the two squad’s met earlier in the season.

Appalachian looks to push in league winning streak to three, as the Apps travel to Spartanburg, S.C. February 2, to take on the Wofford Terriers, with tip off scheduled for 6 p.m.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (6-15, 5-7) took their first lead of the game with just under ten minutes to play and put up a relentless fight, battling back from a seven point half-time deficit to defeat Wofford College (4-17, 2-11) for the third straight time, winning 65-60. The win gives ASU its fifth league win of the season, matching its number of conference wins from the 2007-08 season and was only the second time ASU had come back from a halftime deficit all season. .

Appalachian was ahead 61-54 with 1:44 remaining when Kelly Dwyer and Maddie Helms scored back to back buckets for the Terriers to cut the Black and Gold’s advantage to just three points. Despite being sub-par from the charity stripe the entire evening as a team, Brittney Spencer and Sam Ramirez each drained two clutch free throws in the final seconds of the contest to secure Appalachian’s sixth win of the season.

Wofford came out strong in the first half, going on an early 16-4 run with offense coming from all over for the Terriers. The Mountaineers would fight back cutting the deficit to just five points as Frances Hernandez kept Appalachian alive, hitting two treys to make the score 32-28 with a little under six minutes to play. Hernandez’s first half play was stellar, as the sophomore guard posted 16 points.She finished the contest with a game-high 19 points, shooting 50 percent from behind the arc.

Five would be the narrowest of margins in the first for the Apps, as Appalachian headed into the break down 42-35.

The Black and Gold’s offensive surge in the second half helped them to earn the win, as they went on a 14-2 little over seven minute run with Brittany Mixon scor-ing all ten of her points of the game in the second period and Canesha Edwards chipping in four. Wofford could not respond to the offensive streak as the Terriers scored just 18 points compared to ASU’s 30 in second half action.

Mixon, Edwards and Sade Means tied for a team-high eight boards. Means also had eight points, two steals and one assist, while Edwards posted 11 points and Mixon had a team-high three blocks.

Two Terriers finished the contest in double-figure scoring as Natalie Gramblin and Maddie Helms had 13 and 12 points on the evening.

ASU looks to push its SoCon winning streak to four, as the Apps continue with their road-swing, heading to Cullowhee, N.C. to take on Western Carolina, Febru-ary 7 at 4 p.m.

CULLOWHEE, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (6-16, 5-8) was unable to rally a comeback after falling behind at the Ramsey Center as the Mountaineers fell to SoCon rival Western Carolina (12-11, 8-6) 75-50. The loss was Appalachian’s first conference loss since January 19, snapping a three game SoCon winning streak.

A 22-7 run at the 13 minute mark of the first half of play along with 28 points in the paint doomed the Black and Gold as the Catamounts were able to get their offense clicking, with Brooke Johnson scoring seven points for WCU draining two jumpers and nailing a three. Johnson finished the game as WCU’s leading scorer, with 12 points.

For Appalachian Brittney Spencer and Brittany Mixon tried to get Appalachian’s offense going with Spencer scoring four points and Mixon two, but it couldn’t match Western’s surge and the Apps took a 46-23 deficit into the half.

Spencer and Mixon were both the lone Mountaineers to finish the contest in dou-ble-figure scoring, as Spencer was the leading scorer with 13 points to go along with five boards, three assists and one steal. Mixon posted 12 points, a team-high eight boards and was one just one shy of her career-high in blocks with five. It was the 15th game this season the senior posted double figure scoring.

The two teams traded buckets over the course of the opening minutes of the second half, with Sam Ramirez starting the scoring, nailing a jumper to cut Appa-lachian’s deficit to 21. Ramirez had eight points, with five boards and two assists.

Despite solid play, and a late run, with Karina Mill, Spencer and Charmene Means all chipping in points, ASU could not get over the 20 point hump, and Western Carolina came away with the win.

The Apps look to get back into the winning column, as they head back to the High Country to take on Elon, February 9 at 7 p.m. in the Holmes Center

BOONE, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (6-17, 5-9) trailed the entire game and was unable to come back from a 15 point halftime deficit, as Elon University (3-22, 1-15) picked up its first SoCon win of the season, defeating the Apps 73-55.

The Mountaineers had a slow start Monday evening at the Holmes Center and never quite recovered as the Phoenix jumped out to a 15-5 lead before ASU was able to get its offense going eight minutes into play. Senior Brittany Mixon led Appalachian’s charge scoring eight buckets over the course of four minutes of action to cut the Apps deficit to three points.

Mixon finished the game with 15 points and 13 rebounds, recording her fifth double-double of the season, and making it the 16th time in 23 games she has posted double-figure scoring this season. She also had five blocks against the Phoenix, just one away from her career-high of six.

Three would be the smallest advantage for Elon, as the Phoenix closed out the first half of play on a 14-2 run with Amber Wall and Julie Taylor pacing the Phoe-nix, combining for 10 of their points to put Appalachian down 36-21 at the break.

Wall was one of three Phoenix in double-figure scoring, having 14 points, while Urysla Cotten paced Elon with 17.

Canesha Edwards and Catherine Williams posted strong second half perfor-mances for Appalachian, but a little over three minute scoring drought, coupled by a Phoenix 8-0 run put the game out of reach for the Black and Gold, as Elon picked up the win.

Edwards finished the evening with 13 points and seven boards while Williams recorded a career-high 17 points to go along with seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.

Along with an early surge by Elon, poor shooting also hindered ASU, hitting just 39.1 percent of their shots to go along with going 0-10 from behind the arc. It was the first time Appalachian had not hit a three pointer since December 8 at Wichita State and just the second time all season. It was also the first time since the Alabama A & M game on November 24, 2008 that an opponent didn’t score a three.

ASU looks to bounce back from a dissapointing loss, as the Mountaineers con-tinue their homestand, taking on Wofford, February 11 at 7 p.m.

BOONE, N.C.- Sophomore guard Brittney Spencer drained one of two free throws to put Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-17, 6-9) up 70-68 with a little over one minute to play and the ASU defense was able to come up with a crucial rebound off a missed Summer Nichols jumper with the clock winding down. The following posession Brittany Mixon iced the win for the Black and Gold as she grabbed a rebound off a missed Canesha Edwards shot and layed the ball back in the bucket to help give Appalachian the 72-68 victory over Wofford (4-19, 2-13) at the Holmes Center.

The Mountaineers were down by as many as 13 points in the second half, but were able to rally a comeback, to complete the season sweep of the Terriers, and notch their sixth league win of the season. The sixth SoCon wins surpasses the 2007-08 squads SoCon wins total of five.

Wofford came out strong in the first half of play, going on a 17-9 run over the course of nine minutes to give them a 26-19 advantage with 6:26 to play in the first. The Terriers drained five three pointers, with Maddie Helms hitting two of the them to put the Apps down by seven. Helms was one of three Terriers to fin-ish in double-figures with 10 points, while Natale Gramblin posted 17.

ASU responded going on a 7-2 streak of their own, with Sade Means scoring six of the Apps points to put the Mountaineers down by just four with a 1:43 remaining until the break.

Four final second first half free throws by Helms pushed ASU’s deficit back to eight points at the intermission.

Appalachian would not go away quietly, and posted just its third comeback of the year after being down at halftime, as ASU went on a 14-5 little under six minute run with Mixon scoring four points, Means notching five and Frances Hernandez scoring on two back to back posessions to put ASU down 53-51 with 9:23 remaining.

Mixon finished the evening with a game-high 20 points to go along with 14 rebounds, recording her sixth double-double of the season, and making it the first time in her career that she posted two consecutive double-double games. She scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half. Means was impressive as well, with 15 points, seven boards, two assists and two steals.

The Black and Gold took their first lead of the night when Sam Ramirez drilled a trey to give ASU the 58-56 advantage.The two squads battled in the final minutes, but Appalachiain was able to hold off a pesky Terrier squad and pull out the win. Ramirez also finished the contest in double-figure scoring, with 15 points, six rebounds, and a game-high five assists.

The Mountaineers stout shooting proved to be crucial, shooting 51.7 percent. The Terriers shot 38.9 percent on the evening, making all seven of ASU’s wins this season coming when its opponent shoots less than 40 percent from the field.

ASU’s four blocks in the contest also give the Mountaineers 100 blocks for the 2008-09 campaign, and sets the new school record for team blocks in a season that was set by the 1984-85 ASU team.

The Apps look to carry their momentum into a huge SoCon matchup, as ASU takes on top-tier conference newcomer Samford February 14 at 2 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

BOONE, N.C.-Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-18, 6-10) held a team under 60 points for the third time this season, but it was not enough as Samford (20-4, 15-2) was able to eek out a win at the Holmes Center, defeating the Mountaineers 59-47.

Despite playing toe-toe with Samford in the second half, with each team scoring 29 second half points, a 19-4 run in the final 9:43 of the first and nine three-pointers in the contest by the Bulldogs, with their only five field goals of the second period coming off treys, proved to be the difference in the contest.

The Black and Gold battled in the opening minutes of action, and the Apps notched its first lead of the game at the 9:57 mark when Frances Hernandez drilled a trey to put ASU up 14-11. But, Appalachian would be stuck on 14 points and for the next 8:34 were unable to drain a bucket while the Bulldogs scored 19. Karina Mill ended ASU’s scoring drought as she hit a layup and the ensuing free throw to put Appalachian down 30-18 at the break.

The 18 first half points tied the lowest ASU had scored in a half all season, with the last time coming back on November 21 against Wake Forest.

ASU outscored Samford 7-3 early in the second half, cutting the Samford advan-tage to 35-29 with Brittany Mixon scoring four points and Sade Means chipping in two free throws. Means ended the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds, earning her first double-double of her career. The freshman guard also had two assists and one steal.

Appalachian continued with its strong play as Sam Ramirez nailed two back to back jumpers to cut the Bulldogs lead to just three with 10:38 remaining. Ramirez was the Black and Gold’s leading scorer with 11 points and a game-high five assists.

Samford came back with an 8-0 run and ASU had a litle under five minute scoring drought to push the lead back to double-digits until Mixon hit a layup to make it 44-35 with 5:16 left on the clock.

Two late three pointers by Emily London and Monica Maxwell put a dagger in Appalachian’s attempt for the upset, as Samford was able to pull out the win. London and Maxwell paced the Bulldogs offensively as London had 11 points and Maxwell a game-high 19 points, including three 3 pointers.

The Apps continue with their grueling schedule capping off their four game home stint, as they face SoCon leader Chattanooga, February 14 at 5 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

BOONE, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-19, 6-11) was down by just two points with 8:59 remaining in the first, but a 16-0 run coupled with a five minute and thirteen second scoring drought doomed the Mountain-eers at the Holmes Center, as they fell 71-47 to SoCon leader Chattanooga (20-7, 16-2). The contest marks the 23rd straight game that the Black and Gold has lost to Chattanooga dating back to the 1998-99 season.

ASU got off to a strong start in the first half with Brittany Mixon and Brittney Spencer pacing Appalachian. The duo combined for 12 of the Apps first 14 points. Mixon finished the contest with 20 points and 13 rebounds, recording her third double-double in four games and seventh of the season. She also had five blocks one away from her career-high of six.

Spencer had four points, to go along with five assists and three steals.

The Mountaineers were able to cut the Lady Mocs lead to just two points at 20-18 with 8:59 remaining in the first, but a late first half run put the contest out of reach as Chattanooga took the resounding 44-24 lead into the break, as ASU was unable to score in the final five minutes of action. UTC’s run was propelled by six LaCondra Mason points and four points by Shanara Hollinquest. Mason finished the evening with 13 points and was one of four Lady Mocs to finish in double-figures, with Jenaya Wade-Fray scoring a season high 22 points.

The Apps posted a strong battle in the second, as Canesha Edwards got Appala-chian on the board first, but the Mountaineers were unable to cut the deficit to any closer than 14 points in the second period and UTC came away with the win. Edwards grabbed ten boards and had six points on the night.

Despite the tough loss, ASU tied a season low with 15 turnovers.

Appalachian takes a short break, before returning to action February 21, as the Black and Gold take on the College of Charleston, with tip set for 2 p.m.

CHARLESTON, S.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-20, 6-12) had a two point lead with 29.6 seconds to go as Catherine Williams hit a layup off a missed Brittney Spencer jumper to put the Apps up 55-53, but Jade Hughes came down the court and drilled her second three pointer of the night and College of Charleston (20-7, 13-6) came away with the heartbreaking 57-55 win.

Sophomore guard Sam Ramirez proved to be ASU’s offensive strength down the stretch, as she scored eight of Appalachian’s final 12 points. Her jumper knotted the contest at 53 apiece with a little over one minute remaining. She finished the evening with a game high 19 points, nine assists and two steals, 15 of the points coming in the second half.

Brittany Mixon was impressive as well for the Black and Gold, as the lone senior scored nine of Appalachian’s first 13 points in the contest. She finished the game in double figures for the 19th time this season with 16 points, seven boards and four blocks.

The game was hotly contested for much of the first half as Appalachian kept pace with Charleston and were up on the Cougars by as many as four points but a seven minute field goal drought proved to be costly as CofC went on a 12-1 run to go up by as many as 16 points.

Karina Mill hit a top of the key jumper, and snapped ASU’s little over seven min-ute scoring drought to put the Mountaineers down 27-16 with a little less than 3 minutes to play in the first. The Canada native continued with her strong play as she got her second bucket of the night and Ramirez got in on the scoring action as well as the sophomore guard forced a steal and hit the ensuing lay up to put the Apps down 32-20 at the break.

Appalachian came out strong in the second half, going on an early 7-2 streak off of five Ramirez points, including Appalachian’s first trey of the game to cut CofC’s advantage to 34-27 with 15:30 to play.

The final minutes of play were intense, as ASU would battle back from being down by as many as 11 points, and take a two point lead, before Hughes nailed the game-winning three to give the Cougars the win.

Missed free throws proved to be the Mountaineers achilles heel as the Apps went just 2-9 from the charity stripe and missed three key free throws down the stretch.

Three Apps finished the contest in double figures, while Sarah Moye and Deidra Jones paced the Cougars with 11 points apiece.

ASU looks to bounce back from a tough loss, as they head to Greensboro, N.C. to take on UNCG, February 23 at 7 p.m.

GREENSBORO, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (7-21, 6-13) was unable to keep pace with SoCon foe UNCG (12-16, 9-10) at Fleming Gym as the Apps fell in a tough contest, losing 74- 60 to the Spartans.

Despite picking up their pace in the late minutes of the second half, a 12 point deficit at the break and 13-3 run by the Spartans in the opening minutes of second half play doomed the Black and Gold, who are now on a four game losing streak, the Apps longest SoCon losing of the 2008-09 campaign.

The Mountaineers got off to a solid start in the first as the two squads traded buckets over the course of the opening minutes of play, but besides an early 2-0 advantage, Appalachian would never lead the rest of the contest. ASU was paced by Sam Ramirez and Catherine Williams, with Ramirez notching the Black and Gold’s first five points of the game and Williams also chipping in five.

Ramirez finished the contest with 13 points, four assists and two steals.

UNCG’s hot shooting (56 percent in the first half ) propelled the Spartans to go up by as many as 13 points with three minutes to play in the first, thanks in part to 15 first half points by Gini Grimsley. Grimsley had a game-high 19 points on the night.

Appalachian would be able to cut the Spartan’s advantage to 11 before the break with Karina Mill and Brittney Spencer chipping in four late ASU points to make it 39-27 at the intermission.

The Mountaineers stagnant start in the second half, combined with a 13-3 UNCG run, put the contest out of reach giving the Spartans its largest lead at 52-32 with a little over 13 minutes to play.

Seven second half points by Brittany Mixon and 10 by Sade Means helped ASU to pick up its play in the late minutes of action, but it wasn’t enough as UNCG was able to pull out the win.

Mixon notched her eighth double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Sade Means was two off her career-high, with a team-high 15 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists.

The loss was Appalachian’s first to UNCG since they fell to the Spartans 62-44 in the first round of the 2007-08 Southern Conference Tournament.

ASU returns to action in their final home and regular season of the 2008-09 season, as the Apps take on Georgia Southern at 1 p.m. in the Holmes Center. The Black and Gold will also honor senior Brittany Mixon in a senior day presentation.

BOONE, N.C.- Appalachian State University women’s basketball (8-21, 7-13) came out strong in the early minutes of play and finished their 2008-09 regular season contest with the same momentum, as the Apps were able to knock off Georgia Southern (16-13, 11-9) 68-59 at the Holmes Center.

After the Eagles took only their second lead of the contest at the 7:03 mark in the second half, going up 49-48 off a Jamie Navarro three pointer, the Black and Gold rallied with Canesha Edwards hitting a layup and a free throw to put Appalachian on top 51-49. The contest would be tied once more at 51 all, but seven straight points by the Mountaineers and eight made free throws in the final 53 seconds of play, six by Brittney Spencer and two by Catherine Williams helped the Apps capture the nine point win.

Spencer had a career and game-high 20 points, to go along with four assists and two steals, while Williams notched five points and three boards.

ASU was down by just two in the opening seconds of play and never relinquished the lead in the first half as the Mountaineers went up by as many as eight points with a little under nine minutes to play at 20-12, with senior Brittany Mixon scor-ing six points and Spencer and Sade Means each chipping in four.

Appalachian’s 42 percent shooting coupled with Georgia Southern not scoring a field goal until six minutes into action propelled ASU to its strong play and helped them to take a 28-27 advantage into the break.

The second half was a hotly contested battle with each squad trading buckets over the course of early minutes of play. The Eagles took their first lead since the first half with 6:36 to play.

The Mountaineers however would not back down, as Sam Ramirez, Spencer and Mixon all helped to erase the Eagles one point lead and give Appalachian a six point advantage with 3:21 remaining. Spencer scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half of action.

ASU came up big at the charity stripe, nailing clutch free throws down the stretch to take home the win.

Appalachian’s win over GSU, snaps a four-game SoCon losing streak and snaps a four-game losing streak to the Eagles, as the Apps notched their first win over their SoCon foe since January 20, 2007.

Three Mountaineers in addition to Spencer finished the contest in double-figures, as Mixon played her final regular season in the Black and Gold in style, scoring 14 points and hauling in five boards, along with Ramirez having 13 points and Edwards posting 10.

Jessica Geiger and Samantha Williams led Georgia Southern with 13 and 11 points respectively.

The Apps look to carry their strong play and momentum into the Southern Conference Tournament March 5. ASU will play Furman at 3 p.m.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Senior Brittany Mixon scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds as Appalachian State University women’s basketball erased a 16-point second half time deficit to beat Furman 63-60 in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament. It was just the fourth time all-season that the Mountaineers came back after being down at the half.

The Mountaineers trailed by 16 points midway through the second half before Sam Ramirez connected on a pair of treys to cut the deficit to 48-38 with 10 minutes remaining.

Offensive rebounding aided the Apps as the team cut the lead to five points with five minutes to play before Mixon passed an offensive board to Ramirez in the left corner for her fourth longball of the game to pull within two at 56-54 a minute later.

Ramirez then took over in the paint with a layup to tie the game with two minutes left before Canesha Edwards gave the team its first lead of the half with a jumper from the right baseline. Mixon extended the lead with two free throws as the clock struck one minute. Furman matched the points with two free throws of its own, and then rebounded an ASU miss with less than 30 seconds.

FU’s Lee Stephens drove the lane but lost the ball out of bounds to the Moun-taineers with 12.3 seconds left. Ramirez was fouled almost immediately and sank the first of two shots to extend the lead to 61-58. Stephens made two free throws with 5.8 seconds remaining to cut ASU’s lead to one point. A well-executed long inbound play helped the Mountaineers burn a few seconds off the clock before Brittney Spencer was fouled and made both shots to ice the game. Liebschwa-ger’s half-court heave at the buzzer to tie the game was well off the mark.

Furman’s Melissa Liebschwager made four of the team’s five first-half three-pointers as the Paladins ended the period on a 14-0 run to take a 32-18 advantage at the break.

Ramirez led the team with 19 points with four treys and seven assists while Spencer added 10 points and six assists. Appalachian shot 58.1 percent in the second half and 44.3 percent overall in the game. After missing their first eight three-point attempts, the Mountaineers connected on each of the last four.

The Apps face top-seeded Chattanooga at 11:30 a.m. in the quarterfinal game.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball was unable to keep pace with No.1 seed Chattannooga at McKenize Arena as the Lady Mocs notched the 86-53 win, eliminating ASU from the Southern Confer-ence tournament.

The Black and Gold found themselves in a hole early, after being down 12-2 five minutes into action, but a` n 8-0 run by the Mountaineers propelled by six Sam Ramirez points, knotted the contest at 12 apiece. Another Ramirez trey would put Appalachian down just four at 23-19, but back to back three pointers by Tagan Hatchett would push UTC’s advantage back to 11 with a little over two minutes to play in the first.

Ramirez finished the contest with 11 points, three assists and three boards. Hatchett was one of three Lady Mocs to finish the contest in double-figures, scoring 18 points, all coming from behind the three point arc.

An 8-2 streak by the Lady Mocs over the waning minutes of the first would doom ASU, as they headed into the break down 41-26.

Senior Brittany Mixon found her shooting hand in the second half, scoring 13 of her 15 points along with going 3-4 from the charity stripe. The lone senior for the Black and Gold also had 11 rebounds, notching her ninth double-double of the season. She also had two blocks, putting her at 62 on the season, breaking a 20 year single-season block record set by Valorie Whiteside.

Despite the tough play in the second, a 15 point half-time deficit proved to be too much for Appalachian to come back from, dropping its 24th consecutive game to Chattanooga and ending its 2008-09 campaign.

The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate com-petition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Champi-onship Subdivision conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State has won three of the last four Football Championship Subdivision titles. The Con-ference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Southern Conference office is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership History The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. as 14 institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools - Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. VMI became a member in 1925 and Duke was added 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history.

The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed from the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the ex-tensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Confer-ence invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davison, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift came about in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five states: Alabame, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. On July 1, 2008, Samford officially joined the league, brining membership of the conference to 12.

Leadership John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Previously, Iamarino served as commissioner of the Northeast Conference. In nine years with the New Jersey-based league, Iamarino promoted the conference through an ambitious agenda which improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was

the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C. to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball Tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C. to historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship History The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tourna-ment to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball. Women’s sports are relatively young in the league’s history. In 2007-08, the Southern Conference will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary of women’s champion-ship. Furman golfer Dottie Pepper was named the Southern Conference Women’s Athlete of the Decade in conjunction with that event. Appalachian State’s Mary Jayne Harrelson won the NCAA Outdoor title at 1500 meters in 1999 and 2001. Furman’s Brandi Jackson won the NCAA Women’s Golf East Regional in the spring of 2003.

Coaches and Administrators The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of col-lege athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Confer-ence tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. Lefty Driesell coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach of the Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach of the Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State and is in his first season as head coach at the College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Officials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. Even the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A legendary Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games which still ranks tied for fourth on the league’s all-time coaching victories list. The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at five Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. William & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

For the fourth-straight year and 29th time overall, Appalachian State University won the Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup in 2008-09, awarded annually to the conference’s top all-around men’s sports program.

On the strength of SoCon titles in football, cross country and indoor track and field, Appalachian compiled 87.5 points in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, easily out-distancing second-place Chattanooga (70.5 pts.). ASU’s men’s teams finished in second place or higher in 5-of-10 sports and sixth or better in 8-of-10, leading to the fourth-highest points total in the 40-year history of the all-sports competition.

All 29 of Appalachian’s Commissioner’s Cup titles have come since 1977-78, giv-ing it 29 of the past 32 all-sports crowns overall. ASU’s 29 Commissoner’s Cups are by far the most in SoCon history — William & Mary boasts the second-most at five, followed by East Carolina (four) and Chattanooga, East Tennessee State and Furman (one each).

On the women’s side, ASU placed sixth in the Germann Cup standings with 64.5 points, just 13.5 points behind champion College of Charleston in the hotly con-tested women’s all-sports race.

Senior Asmeron Desta helped lead ASU men’s

cross country to its fourth consecutive SoCon

title and finished second overall, earning all-

SoCon honors.

Senior Casey Cleary closed out her career as ASU’s women’s soccer all-time record holder in career goals, along with holding six other school records.

Senior Meg Gaffney helped ASU women’s

indoor and outdoor track and field squads cap-

ture SoCon titles in 2009 and holds two school

records in the indoor 3000m run and outdoor

3000m steeplechase.ASU signal caller and Walter Payton award winner Armanti Edwards led the Black and Gold to its 4th straight SoCon crown in 2008.

Carol Almond came to Appalachian State University in 1975 and played four seasons under the direction of Dr. Judy Clarke. Over her historic career Almond became the first female collegiate student-athlete to score 1,000 points in the state of

North Carolina. Almond finished her stay at Appalachian State University with 1,158 points. She was se-lected to the all-state (NCAIAW Division I) team all four seasons as a Mountaineer. Almond played for one sea-son with St. Louis in the Women’s Basketball League. Among the many firsts to her credit, she was the first female at Appalachian to have her jersey retired. ASU women’s hoops standout Valorie Whiteside (see below) and vol-leyball player and coach Traci Blankenship have since joined

Almond as the only Appalachian female student-athletes to receive the honor. In men’s ath-letics history at Ap-palachian, only one jersey joins the three women’s jerseys in the rafters. Football’s jersey No. 23, most-notably worn by Ap-palachian standout and former NFL run-ning back John Settle, has been retired. Almond was inducted into the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame on September 2, 1989.

No. 22 Carol Almond(1975-79)

Valorie Whiteside holds 42 Appalachian school records, including most career points (2,944), field goals made in a career (1,153) and rebounds in a career (1,369). In her Appalachian State-record 116 games, Whiteside averaged 25.4 points and 11.8

rebounds per game. She also holds the Appalachian records for most points in a game with 48 and rebounds in a game with 26. Whiteside earned all-Southern Conference honors all four years at Appalachian, all-tournament honors three times (1985, 87, 88) and was named the confer-ence player of the year in 1988 and Tournament MVP in 1987 and 1988. She ranks eighth all-time in NCAA scoring history with 2,944 career points and seventh in career scoring average with 25.4

points per game. Whiteside was inducted into Appa-lachian’s athletics Hall of Fame on Septem-ber 20, 2003.

Appalachian women’s basketball enters its tenth season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Moun-taineer men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as Appalachian’s volleyball and indoor track and field programs. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to cam-pus and houses ASU’s Department of health, leisure and exercise science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the ASU-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event. The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. The Mountaineer women opened the arena two days later hosting Wake Forest on November 19, 2000. ASU fell, 83-60, in the contest in front of 561 fans. Entering the 2007-08 season, the Mountaineers are 43-58 (.426) all-time in the arena with the largest crowd of 1,503 fans attending ASU’s contest with Chattanooga on February 21, 2003. In addition to the state-of-the-art amenities that the Holmes Center has to offer, the atmosphere for Appalachian sporting events remains one of the most spirited in the Southern Conference. The Appalachian student section is a priority at the Holmes Center, as student seating is located at mid-court for both volleyball and basketball. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appala-chian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation cen-ter, as former ASU Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski an-nounced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appa-lachian on a football scholarship from 1950-57. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Gover-nor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Ra-leigh from 1967-71. He also served on ASU’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91. His philanthropy, including establishing Appalachian’s Alumni Memorial Scholarship and a scholarship for students from Wake County, has made it possible for many students to attend college.

Varsity Gym

Though the Mountaineers compete exclusively in the Holmes Center, the team often practices in the spacious Varsity Gym on campus as well. Four adjacent courts can be set up on the floor to allow for maxi-mum utilization of practice time. In addition to the new court at the HCC, Varsity Gym’s floor also received a facelift in 2008, as a new hardwood surface was installed. The arena is also the practice home for wrestling, men’s basketball, volley-ball, field hockey and the track and field teams.

mountaineers in tHe Community

Academics are the primary reason for attending college, and Appalachian State University is one of the most respected com-prehensive institutions of higher learning in the South. The academic environment that sur-rounds Appalachian is prided on fitting the needs of all students, regardless of back-ground. The student-athletes of ASU who compete on a variety of playing fields take pride in their academic reputation.

Through the overall ef-forts of the Learning Assis-tance Program, the Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes is coordinated by Jean Roberts. Assistant coordinators Kim Sherill, Eric Hart and Ste-fanie Whitworth help to guide the office’s efforts for the more than 500 student-athletes who wear the black and gold.

The Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes helps students prioritize aca-demics by providing a com-

prehensive support system throughout their college careers. The overall graduation rate of student-athletes on campus has consistently re-mained higher than that of the Appalachian total student body. Approximately 35 per-cent of all student-athletes at ASU made the Southern Conference Honor Roll in the 2007-08 academic year. The people of Appalachian State Univer-sity are very proud of the academic achieve-

ments of their student-athletes and applaud the teamwork of the administration and their relationships with the coaches whose support is pivotal in helping shape athletes’ academic lives. The University’s Learning Assistance Program is a valuable aid to student-athletes at Appalachian. From tutoring, to academic advising and academic monitoring, the pro-gram affords the student-athlete the oppor-tunity to excel both on the field and in the classroom.

Like the entire Appalachian State Uni-versity athletics department, Mountaineer volleyball believes strongly in giving back to the community. The athletic department as a whole has teamed up to participate in several events around the community, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s ‘Celebrity Serve’ which featured student-athletes from several ASU athletic programs volunteered their time to help serve dinner and wait tables at various

restaurants around Boone. Other community events that the Moun-taineers participate in include the Walk for Awareness, a rally to increase awareness and help eliminate incidents of rape and sexual assault in the Appalachian community. Each season the Mountaineers hold a clinic for local Girl Scout Troops. The clinic includes instruction by coaches and play-ers, along with place at Appalachian’s home contest that day. The Apps also participate

in freshman move in day, helping freshman all around campus move into their dorms. Additionally, ASU players and coaches volunteer their time for a number of other basketball clinics throughout the year, in-cluding sessions with the Special Olympics.

strenGtH and ConditioninG The mission of Appalachian State speed, strength & conditioning program is to assist the athletes in reaching the full athletic po-tential. This mission is attained by reducing the athlete’s potential for injury during com-petition, and increasing an athletes’s overall athleticism and power. The Appalachian speed, strength & con-ditioning programs is designed to implement programs that fit the characteristics of the coaches of the 20 different sport programs, ASU’s staff remains in a constant research mode to provide the best programs for each student-athlete’s needs. The staff incorpo-rates a variety of training methods to ensure that an athlete reaches their full potential. The variety of methods includes resistance training, speed development, sport specific conditioning, dynamic flexibility, along with full scientific analysis of the athlete to help better understand how to train the athlete . The scientific analysis of the athlete to help better understand how to train the athlete. The scientific analysis can be anything from VO2 testing to basal metabolic rate analy-sis. These tests are done at the discretion of the strength coach by the exercise science

department and teams. This concept is the foundation of our program. The Appalachian program is unique compared to other programs across the nation. With a 16,000-square foot facility in the panning phase, the Mountaineers will be able to boast having a premier facility in this region of the country that can com-pare to any level of competition. The facility combined with the unique relationship that

Appalachian’s exercise science department possess on campus gives ASU’s athletes the extra edge to compete at the highest level.

Few programs play a role as essential to the continued success of the Mountaineers as sports medicine. ASU sports medicine provides preventative care that helps stu-dent-athletes avoid injury and post-injury treatment that allows student athletes to re-cover as quickly as possible. Under the direction of director Jason Robey and volleyball athletic trainer Jamie

Moul, Appalachian sports medicine has three spacious facilities at its disposal in the Holmes Center, Varsity Gym and Owens Fieldhouse. Each athlete training room is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the health and welfare of the stu-dent-athletes. The sports medicine staff is bolstered by one of the finest athlete training educa-

tion programs in the nation. The program has been in existence for more than 25 years, was one of the first NATA approved programs and is accredited by CAATE.

In his first four years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb

has led the department to unparalleled suc-cess. The many achievements enjoyed by Appala-

chian athletics during the first 48 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • ThreeNCAADivisionIfootballnationalchampionships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three- consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shatteringregular-seasonattendancerecordsat“TheRock” with a school-record 28,227 fans per game piling into Kidd Brewer Stadium during the 2008 regular season — more than 140 percent of the stadium’s ‘08 seating capacity of 16,650. • A298-percentincreaseinfootballseason-ticketsalessincehis arrival in 2005. • Four-consecutiveCommissioner’sCupchampionships— recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • TwoGermannCupchampionships—recognizingthetopoverall women’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • 35percentoftheathleticsdepartment’sstudentsmakingthe Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Fiveteams(men’sbasketball,women’scrosscountry,fieldhockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • TheYosefClub,whichprovidesscholarshipsforstudent-athletes, raising nearly $2.5 million in 2008-09 — reaching the $2 million threshold for the second-straight year time and up over $1.8 million from the year before Cobb’s arrival. • Appalachian’sathleticsannualbudgetincreasingfrom$7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to $11 million in 2009-10.Additionally, Cobb has spearheaded Appalachian’s $50 million facilities enhance-ment campaign, which will come to fruition this fall with the completion of the centerpiece of the campaign, the 120,000-square-foot Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex. The seven-story complex, located behind KBS’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facili-ties, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 suites.The facilities enhancements has also included other significant renovations to The Rock.

A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bet-tie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have up-graded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. WhileCobbisquicktopointoutthe“totalteameffort”putforthtoachievethe many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 41-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights.

A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an aca-demic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Chari-ties, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90. They have an 11-year-old son, Harrison, and a eight-year-old daughter, Branan.

Educating North Carolina’s Citizens and Leaders Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Since that time, the area has attracted those seeking natural beauty, adventure and learn-ing. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system. The university offers a challenging and stimulating learning experience for more than 16,600 students both on and off campus. Appalachian is considered a preemi-nent university combining the best attributes of a small liberal arts college with those of a large, research institution. It is particularly known for its research and outreach in health-related fields and the area of energy/environment/economics. Distinctively residential, the main campus encompasses 411 acres. It includes 19 academic buildings, 20 residence halls, four dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City. Off-campus programs are offered in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges. The university is characterized by close collaboration between students and faculty, rigorous scholarship, and trans-formational co-curricular activities that develop graduates with real-world capabilities. Appalachian also emphasizes the impor-tance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally.

Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been mem-bers of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers have earned both the Southern Con-ference’s Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics 29 times since the award was established in 1979 and the Germann Cup, recognizing the top women’s program in the conference, six of the 18 years the award has been presented.

Athletics Mission StatementThe Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercol-legiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student.

Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to prog-ress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the Univer-sity’s supporters.

The university has become a destination of choice among the brightest and best high school graduates, with freshman SAT scores averaging 1163 and grade point averages at 3.87. Since Chancellor Peacock assumed office, Appalachian has raised $68 million in private funding. Appalachian ACCESS, a university scholarship program offering North Carolina’s low-income students living at or below the poverty level a four-year university education debt free, was first awarded to members of the freshman class in 2007. Additionally, under Chancellor Peacock’s leadership, more than $300 million in capital improvements and new construction has been completed or is in prog-ress.

“There’s a lot to cheer at Appalachian, as the Mountaineers have earned both the Southern Conference’s Commission-er’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics 29 times since the award was established in 1979 and the Germann Cup, recognizing the top women’s program in the conference, six of the 18 years the award has been presented. In addition, our student-athletes consistently make the Southern Conference’s Academic Honor Roll. For all students, Appalachian aspires to be a model 21st-century, nationally recognized university combining the best characteristics of a liberal arts education with the opportunities afforded by many research institutions.

Boone, North Carolina Boone lies nestled in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians and is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Appa-lachian State University began as Watauga Academy in 1899 to educate the mountain children and ultimately to prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Ap-palachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. Boone and Appalachian grew up together in the secluded wilderness, with few roads and no railroad linking them to the communities that lay in pockets below. This relative isolation allowed both town and school to develop strong character through overcoming adversity and created a unique heritage for both. Boone is now a bustling university town characterized by beautiful mountain scenery, distinct four-season weather, mountain heritage culture and casual living – and it is the center of tourism and commerce for Watauga County and the surrounding High Coun-try. Outdoor activities, cultural events, fine dining and unique shopping bring visitors from all over the world to experience the friendly, welcoming face of this mountain town. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as its top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small

business and residential home construction. Boone is a year-round playground for business meet-ings and conferences, as well as leisure. The cool summers, dazzling colors of fall and serene winters offer something for every nature lover. An unusually wide array of quality arts and cultural programming enhance the Boone com-munity. The university’s An Appalachian Summer Festival, a month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. Notable performers include Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. The jewel of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It fea-tures six gallery spaces and a robust community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of new and historically important artwork, and feature nationally and internation-ally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region.

Boone offers an uncommon quality of life. That’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
