Roster


Radford assistant baseball coach Allen Rice, with sledge-hammer in hand, was swinging for the fences with every chop at the faded white cinderblock walls of the Highlanders’ home dugout at Radford University Baseball Field. “Look at his hands,” head coach Joe Raccuia said. “He’s ready for the baseball.” As opposed to a fastball down the pipe, the sweet swings of a sledgeham-mer on bricks from the team’s hitting coach were part of the fun as each member of the baseball staff: Raccuia, Rice, assistant coach Brian Anderson and volunteer assistant Rick Oliveri each took hefty cuts that made program history. For the fi rst time since the facility’s opening in 1986, Radford University Baseball Field is undergoing a signifi -cant upgrade, as a new playing surface accompanies spacious dugouts, in an effort to meet the program’s fast-changing needs. “This is what I envisioned occurring since the day I was

hired,” Raccuia said. “To know that Radford University is trying to put us in a position to be successful is very exciting for us.” Work began at the facility on Sept. 15, when the natural grass surface was bulldozed and leveled in preparation for a new playing fi eld, which was installed by Carolina Green Corp. Ath-letic Field Construction of Indian Trail, N.C., a company respon-

sible for recent college baseball fi eld re-surfacing projects at North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia Tech, along with the surface at Nation-als Park in Washington, D.C. Construction on new dugouts began with both the home and visitor dugouts at Radford University Baseball Field being completely replaced. Both dug-outs will be 74 feet long, will include a deeper bench area with steps up to the fi eld, restrooms, and expanded storage space. “The natural playing surface I expect

to be second to none,” Raccuia said. “We needed a better sur-face along with drainage and irrigation. The dugouts will give our

players a more comfortable and better view of the game. Space has been an issue for our team in the dugouts and that has obvi-ously been addressed.” The playing surface was completed in November, and the entire project will be fi nished in time for Radford’s home opener against George Mason on March 10, 2010. From the program’s perspective, the changes were a neces-sity. Not only as a player development improvement, but a way to catch the eyes of prospects. “Recruiting is the lifeline of a program and a recruit’s fi rst impression of a facility last a long time,” Raccuia said. “Player development is what we stress and now with the hitting facil-ity, the outdoor cages, the weight room, the academic center and now with the fi eld renovations, we are starting to get all the pieces in place to continue to show our commitment level to our players and recruits.” For Raccuia, a 1995 graduate of Radford University, it’s also a point of pride as a former second baseman that roamed the previous surface, and sat in the very dugout he brought to the ground that morning. “Not to be too sentimental,” he said, “but I feel very proud to know these improvements that have been needed for such a long time occurred while I was the head coach. I very much feel like this is one of the reasons why I came back to Radford.” In the meantime, the Highlanders’ fall workouts were at Radford High School’s game fi eld, a sacrifi ce that Raccuia says his team was more than willing to make for these improvements. “Not one player complained about practicing at the recre-ational fi eld knowing what renovations are being made to their own fi eld. To know that our facilities are no longer inferior to other schools is important for them.” But with these improvements, Raccuia said, come expecta-tions. “Our players understand the commitment that has been made to them and I know this group will do everything in their power to fulfi ll the expectations that have been placed on them.”

RADFORD’S PLAYER DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES

Since 2007, Radford’s facilities for baseball player development have undergone signifi cant changes to rival top programs in the Southeast region, the hotbed of college baseball. In the fall of 2007, the program’s indoor facility opened and continues to provide a top-notch space for the Highlanders to train, year-round. The 7,200 square-foot facility includes six dedicated batting cages, with the necessary equipment and amenities for either live pitch-ing or machine pitching. Located adjacent to campus, the indoor facility can serve the Radford baseball team any time. Prior to the start of the 2009 season, the renovations to the Dedmon Center, the home of Radford University athletics, were capped off with the completion of a new strength and conditioning facility and the Learning Enhancement Center. Amenities of the strength facility include

Radford University’s 7,200 square-foot indoor facility, completed in 2007 to meet the changing needs of Radford baseball.

Radford’s strength & conditioning facility was newly renovated, along with the Ded-mon Center, in 2009.

new fl ooring and customized platforms, as well as brand-new racks, benches and weights. The newly established Learning Enhance-ment Center (LEC) is equipped with computers, tutorial rooms, and a study lounge. Establishment of the LEC has coincided with academic success, as the Highlanders had 14 players appear on last year’s Big South Presidential Honor Roll, which recognizes student-athletes that fi nished with a 3.0 (or bet-ter) grade point average for the acacemic year. Radford’s baseball facilities also include a dedicated team locker room within the newly-renovated Dedmon Center. The room is outfi tted to serve the needs of each Highlander baseball athlete. With a renewed commitment to its facilt-ies, Radford University’s athletic department continues to position Highlander baseball towards becoming one of the top programs in the Southeast.

Radford has its own dedicated baseball team locker room within the newly-reno-vated Dedmon Center.

The newly-established Learning Enhancement Center, dedicated solely to the needs of Rad-ford student-athletes, opened in 2009.

JOE RACCUIA 4 For Radford head baseball coach Joe Raccuia, the Highlander uniform is a comfortable, familiar fi t. A Rad-ford uniform is also a winning fi t for Raccuia: he’s been a part of 126 total wins as a player (1994-95), assistant coach (1996) and head coach (2008-present). Raccuia, a 1995 Radford graduate, returned to his roots on July 10, 2007, when he was named the fi fth head coach in Radford baseball history. His path home was a busy one, ranging from the head coaching job at Marist to an assistant’s position at Alabama. In each case, he’s had a successful run, setting the stage for his return to his alma mater. The 2009 season, his second, marked a turnaround for the program when Radford went 26-24 overall and 16-9 in conference play. Radford’s season record was the fi fth winning campaign in school history and its 16 conference wins were the program’s second-most all-time. Raccuia’s second season with the Highlanders was marked by a fourth-place fi nish and No. 4 seed in the Big South conference tour-nament (second time in program history) and a come-from-behind tournament win against No. 22 Coastal Carolina, 11-7, when the Highland-ers trailed 7-6 and were down to their fi nal strike before scoring fi ve ninth-inning runs. Following the 2009 season two of Rac-cuia’s recruits, shortstop Jeff Kemp and right-hander Aerik Taylor, were recognized by the Big South along with fi rst baseman

Alex Gregory. Kemp was named freshman of the year, Gregory and Taylor earned second team all-conference honors, and Gregory was again named to the all- academic team. While his 2009 roster was marked by a host of fresh faces that included Kemp, Taylor, second baseman Brett Mollenhauer and right-handed closer Jason Patten among them, Raccuia got the most out of returning players like Gregory (third straight .400-plus -season) and third baseman Nick Minter (started 49 of 50 games, career-highs in most offensive categories). In Raccuia’s fi rst season with the Highlanders, the team produced 24 wins, the most since Radford won 26 in 2000. The fi nal total was a 14-game turnaround from the 2007 season.Raccuia’s win total in his fi rst season at Radford came with plenty of style points. The Highlanders added four in the win column against NCAA Regional teams, including a victory over Charlotte on the road, and three over in-state rival and CAA Champion James Madison. Radford’s win at Charlotte snapped a 17-game home winning streak for the 49ers, the second-longest home string in the country at the time. Add to that three all-conference selections, (First team – Alex Gregory; second team – Eric Evans, Tyren Rivers) and two all-tournament picks (Gregory, Reggie Keen). Along with quality wins, Radford was able to get off to its best start in school history after seven games (6-1), and concluded the season with four games in the Big South Tournament, the second most in school history. On the whole, it was fi nest offensive campaign for the program since 1995, Raccuia’s senior season at Radford. The Highlanders bested the .300 mark for the fi rst time since that year, and plated 347 runs (average of six per game), the top mark since ’95. A Buffalo, N.Y, native, Raccuia spent two seasons before arriving at Radford as Alabama’s recruiting coor-dinator and hitting instructor. He saw six of his position players taken in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft after just one year on the job. Raccuia also brought an improved offense to Tuscaloosa in 2006 - the Crimson Tide hit .291 in his fi rst season, with 50 home runs and 394 RBIs, compared to a .281 composite average during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Raccuia’s stint at Alabama came after spending two seasons as the head coach at Marist College. He compiled a 58-51 (.532) record with the Red Foxes, including a 39-15 (.722) record in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He was named the 2005 MAAC Co-Coach of the Year and led the Red Foxes to a berth in the 2005 Baton Rouge Regional. Seven Marist players earned All-MAAC honors under Raccuia’s tutelage, including 2005 MAAC Pitcher of the year Chris Tracz, and 2005 MAAC Relief Pitcher of the Year, Rob Ryan. Tracz, Ryan and Travis Musolf also earned All-Northeast Region honors, while Raccuia’s teams had a total of nine MAAC All-Academic Team selections. Prior to Marist, Raccuia was an assistant coach at George Mason for four years, including a promotion

Rac

cuia

“Joe is relentless, intense and the kind of go-getter that can really make a dif-ference in a program like Radford. It’s push, push, push all the time with Joe. I saw that in him while I was coach-ing at George Mason and he was at George Washington. He also has a great eye for talent: Joe can take a player who doesn’t come into college as a highly-touted prospect, and can make that player truly excel and eventually become that big-time prospect.”

J.J. PicolloAssistant G.M./DirectorPlayer DevelopmentKansas City Royals

“Joe Raccuia is the right man to lead the way for success in the baseball program at Radford University. Being back at his alma mater, Joe knows what it takes for the Highlanders to be suc-cessful and I know he will work every day to put his team on top. He has the enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for the game of baseball. I love to compete against him because I know his team will be ready to play and you are going to get his best.”

Brian O’ConnorHead Coach, University of Virginia

RACCUIA YEAR-BY-YEAR

to associate head coach in his fi nal two years. Raccuia was responsible for George Mason’s hitting and defense, and he helped recruit three freshman All-America selections. He coached four all-conference po-sition players in his fi nal season at Mason, including the Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Year. The 2003 team set the school record for the highest fi elding percentage (.970) and was ranked 21st nationally in defense. Before moving to George Mason, Raccuia spent four years as the assistant head coach at The George Washing-ton University. He had a wide-range of duties at GW, serving as hitting coach and recruiting coordinator while also working with the position players. In three years with the Colonials, Raccuia coached or recruited 14 players who earned All-A-10 recognition and 12 players who went on to professional careers. The 1998 team set the school record for wins and recorded the fourth-best turnaround in Division I. The George Washington class of 2002 had fi ve players Raccuia recruited taken in the MLB Draft. Over his fi nal two seasons, GW set school records in hits, homeruns, doubles, runs scored and runs batted in. Throughout his career, Raccuia has shown a commitment to the complete student-athlete. While at both George Mason and George Washington, he served as the team’s liaison with the academic coordinator. Twelve Mason players earned recognition for academic success and the 2002 squad posted the best GPA in the program history. Raccuia’s coaching career began at his alma mater, where he served as an assistant at Radford in 1996. He assisted in every aspect of the program under his former coach Lew Kent. Raccuia played one sea-son for Kent at Radford, serving as the team captain during the 1995 campaign and helping that squad to a school record for wins (30). Prior to playing at Radford, Raccuia played two seasons at Edison Community College in Ft. Myers, Fla. He served as the team captain his second year, leading that 1993 team to a school-record single-season win total. Raccuia, who graduated in 1995 with a degree in social science, is married to the former Jodi Carroll, also a 1995 Radford graduate. They have two sons, A.J. and Joey, Jr., and a daughter, Emma, and reside in Radford.

“Joe is not only an outstanding recruiter with an eye for talent, but he’s the true defi nition of a player’s coach. He works hard and expects the same in return, and is an effective communicator that knows how to connect with his players. When he was at Marist, it was easy to see that he was a rising star in college baseball. He took over a young group of players and turned them into winners, tak-ing the team to Regionals in just his second year.”

Tim MurrayDirector of AthleticsMarist College

“Joe is a tireless worker and one of the best recruiters in the country. His repoire with players is exemplary and his knowledge of the game is second to none. Under his leadership, Radford will fi nd itself on the national scene sooner rather than later.”

BRIAN ANDERSON 25 After working alongside Radford head coach Joe Raccuia at two different stops, Brian Anderson joined his coaching staff in July of 2007 and has played a large role in engineering the revitalization of the Highlander program. Following up a 2008 season where he pushed the Radford pitching staff to one of its top performances this decade, Anderson followed it up with more progress in 2009. The Highlander staff was highlighted by right-hander Aerik Taylor’s Second Team All-Big South honor in his fi rst season as a full-time starter at the Division I level. Taylor led the Radford arms with seven quality starts; as a whole, the Highlanders produced 17 quality starts and the program’s fourth-best ERA since 2000. Anderson helped produce a pair of impact freshmen as well: left-handed starter Paul DeVito posted a 6-3 record and right-handed closer Jason Patten set a new single-season school record with nine saves. Anderson’s fi rst year at Radford was marked by the emergence of left-hander Eric Evans as the ace of the Highlander staff, earning Second Team All-Big South honors in 2008. In his senior season, Evans went 5-4 with a 3.34 ERA in 14 starts, and 3-1 record and 1.88 ERA in Big South starts. Evans, a 23rd-round pick of the Rangers in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, continued his success in the professional ranks, going 3-2 with 36 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings between Rookie League and Class A. Anderson’s duties at Radford include serving as the High-landers’ pitching coach and

recruiting coordinator, along with assist-ing in the day-to-day operations of the program, including practice, game-day preparation and scouting. In his recruiting duties, Anderson has been the lead recruiter in helping the Highlanders land one of their best classes in the early signing period in 2007. Nine of his recruits from that class suited up for the Highlanders in

2009, with most being counted on to fi ll major roles. Follow-ing a recruiting class with a distinctly-Maryland fl avor, An-derson engineered a 2009 early signing group that included four top high school performers from Virginia. Anderson spent the two years prior to arriving at Radford as a volunteer assistant at the University of Virginia. He worked directly with the Cavalier catchers and assisted with the day-to-day development of the hitters. In his time in Charlottesville, Virginia fi nished 19th in the nation in batting average (.322) while setting school records in hits, RBI and total bases. Before moving to Virginia, Anderson served as Joe Raccuia’s assistant coach at Marist College. He helped Raccuia lead the Red Foxes to the 2005 MAAC title and a berth in the 2005 Baton Rouge Regional. A native of Chesapeake, Va., Anderson got his coaching start at his alma mater, spending one year as a volunteer assistant at George Mason, coaching catchers and assisting in hit-ting instruction. He also coached fi rst base for the Patriots. A standout catcher at Mason, Anderson was a four-year starter that ranks in the Patriots’ all-time top-10 in eight statistical categories. Following graduation, Anderson inked a free-agent deal with the Expos organization, and played the 2002 season with the Vermont Expos of the New York-Penn League. Anderson earned a degree in communications from George Mason in 2002. He is en-gaged to Colleen Bowles.

“Brian is a tireless worker that’s constantly improving and trying to get the program where it needs to be. He took over what were prob-ably the toughest jobs in our program - both pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Radford’s never really been known as a strong pitching program and he’s established a pres-cence with our pitching staff, and has gotten them excited. Brian’s gotten our pitchers into the strike zone quickly, and has them taking a different attitude towards hitters. And obvious-ly the recruiting side of his job, with the players he’s brought in, speaks for itself.”

ALLEN RICE 6 Since being named to Joe Raccuia’s coaching staff, Allen Rice has made an instant impact in Rad-ford’s offensive success. In his fi rst season working with the hitters, Rice helped the team produce a .304 average, second-best in the conference, the program’s highest season average since 1995 and just the fourth time in school history that Highlanders went better than .300 at the plate. The numbers were even better in 2009: Radford’s .319 team average was the second best in school history, and just one point off the record of .320 set in 1995. Plus, the Highlanders had 11.3 hits per game, bettering the average (10.4) hits per game in their record-setting season of 2008. Individually, Alex Gregory posted his third-straight season hitting better than .400 (second un-der Rice), Nick Minter posted career-highs in every statistical category while hitting in the number fi ve spot, and Jeff Kemp and Brett Mollenhauer produced .300-plus seasons while playing every day as freshmen. During the 2008 season, the Highlanders broke the team’s single-season hit total (set in 1995) by 47 hits, recording 583 hits. Radford had eight different players set career-highs in average during Rice’s fi rst season, while those eight and two others set career-highs in hits. The team also led the Big South in triples and was second in on-base percentage.

Highlighting Radford’s offensive onslaught in Rice’s fi rst season were the individ-ual performances of Gregory and Reggie Keen, who fi nished one-two in the conference batting race. Both Keen and Gregory surpassed the school’s individual hit record with 84 and 83 hits, respectively. Gregory’s offensive campaign was marked by his .406 average, making him one of just two players in Division I to hit better than .400 over the last two seasons, while Keen’s highlights included a 19-game hit-ting streak, third-best in the league in 2008. In addition to working with Radford’s hitters, Rice is the Highland-

ers’ third base coach, and assists in all other aspects of the program, including recruiting, scouting, practice, operations, and game preparation. Rice combined with assistant coach Brian Anderson to land one of Radford’s best classes in the early signing period in 2007. Nine recruits from that class suited up for the Highlanders in 2009, with most being counted on to fi ll major roles. In 2008, Rice helped ink an early signing group that included four top high school performers from Virginia, including four offensive contributors. A standout player at Alabama, Rice spent his time before Radford working as direc-tor of baseball operations for his alma mater. A four-year starter for the Crimson Tide, Rice was named Preseason All-Southeast-ern Conference in 2005. He helped lead the Tide to the 2001 and 2003 SEC Tournament titles and three NCAA Regional appearances. An outstanding student as well, Rice was named to the SEC Honor Roll, was on the Dean’s List. He also served as a baseball liai-son to Alabama’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and he received a student-athlete community outreach award. Rice earned a degree in physical education from Alabama in 2005 and a Master’s in human and environmental sciences in 2006 from his undergraduate alma mater. He is married to the former Mandy Tedder.

“Allen has done an unbelievable job with our offense, and has really come into his own as hitting coach in his third year. I’ve watched his progression over the last two years, as well as this fall, and the strides that he’s made with our hitters have been remarkable. Allen’s at a point where his credibility with what he’s done here so far, including helping Brian Anderson with recruiting, has been an instrumental force in what we’ve been able to accomplish of-fensively.”

RICK OLIVERI 23 Former Lincoln Memorial graduate assistant Rick Oliveri is a part of the Radford baseball staff as volunteer assistant coach for the 2009-10 season. In his role with the Highlanders, Oliveri will work with catchers and hitters, coordinate operations of Joe Raccuia Baseball Camps LLC, and assist with all other aspects of the Radford baseball program. The Buffalo, N.Y. native spent the 2009 season at LMU, under head coach Jeff Sziksai, working with the team’s catchers, hitters, and coordinating team operations. On the fi eld, the Railsplitter backstops made strides defen-sively under Oliveri’s guidance, doubling their caught stealing totals while helping cut wild pitch totals nearly in half from 2008 to 2009. Oliveri graduated from Canisius High School, Raccuia’s alma mater, before moving on to a four-year career on the diamond for the University at Buffalo. A three-year starter behind the plate for the Bulls, Oliveri was a team captain as both a junior and senior. Oliveri graduated from Buffalo in 2008 with a degree in accounting and fi nance.

2010 OUTLOOK / NOTES


When building a program, Radford head baseball coach Joe Raccuia says that the most it’s important to move forward, in both small and big steps. Just taking a leap of some kind, no matter the size, is the key. “I think that the problem comes when things become stag-nant and nothing occurs,’ he says. “We sometimes make baby steps, tiny steps, huge steps, or big strides, and sometimes we go faster than we can keep up with ourselves and other times we go at a slow pace. So as long as we are moving forward as a program, that is our biggest concern.” The steps for Radford have come both on and off the fi eld and whether they’re big or small, they are at least concrete. Last season was the fi rst winning campaign for a Highlander team in nearly a decade, at 26-24, and their 16 Big South conference wins were the second-most in a single season in program history. Off the fi eld, strides in the program’s facilities continue to move from plans to reality – extensive fi eld resurfac-ing and new dugouts were added to the landscape of Radford University Baseball Field, all in time to begin a new decade for a program that starts its 26th season in 2010. Both the on-fi eld success and off-fi eld building are tangible and record-setting, monumental and sur-prising. Raccuia says it’s all part of the process, as he enters his third season at the helm of his alma mater’s program. Radford was picked fourth in the Big South’s offi cial pre-season poll and in many national publications, something that Raccuia puts in the category of “baby step.” “The fi rst year [2008] we were picked last, second year we were picked either fi fth or sixth, and this year we are picked fourth. I think it is a good sign for our program and each of the three years we have exceeded expectations.” In Raccuia’s fi rst season, Radford went from 10-36 overall in

2007 to 24-32 in 2008. The ‘08 win total was the highest since a 28-24 season in 2000. His second year was just the fi fth winning season in the program’s history. “We have to create our own momentum and reputation and we are getting there,” Raccuia says. “Hopefully, we will be picked fi rst soon.” In 2010 Radford will ride the momentum of fi ve returning posi-tion starters, with four of the fi ve hitting better than .300 a year ago, while returning all four of its starting pitchers as well as the back end of the bullpen.

Some cogs in the lineup, like senior outfi elders Reggie Keen and Tyren Riv-ers, are seasoned everyday fi xtures on the scorecard. Other veterans, like seniors Aerik Taylor and Rick Hoogstraten, made their names based on last year’s perfor-mances. Add to the mix a group of stellar sophomores in Jeff Kemp, Brett Mollenhau-er, Jason Patten and Paul DeVito. For the Highlanders, the group has players at different ends of the experience spectrum – the senior and sophomore class-es. Two seniors, Keen and Rivers, played in all 50 games last season while Taylor

started on Fridays and Hoogstraten was the fi rst man off the bench. Despite their senior markings, Raccuia feels like Radford’s seniors are still his staff’s recruits. “It’s funny because everyone in that class except for Aerik Taylor was here prior to us but not many of them played. Ty Riv-ers didn’t play much his fi rst two years, Reggie Keen did not play at all his freshman year, and Hoogy didn’t play much as well. So it’s almost like they are our recruits and our players.” Keen (.322/35 RBI/13 SB) and Rivers (.256/3 HR/29 RBI/19 SB) are in their third season as everyday players, and continue

“We sometimes make baby steps, tiny steps, huge steps, or big strides, and sometimes we go faster than we can keep up with ourselves and other times we go at a slow pace. So as long as we are moving forward as a program, that is our biggest concern.”-- Head Coach Joe Raccuia

HIGHLANDERS HITTING THEIR STRIDESTEPS FORWARD ON AND OFF THE FIELD CONTINUE FOR RADFORD BASEBALL IN 2010


to etch their names in the school’s career record books. Taylor (5-4/4.90 ERA/14 starts) arrived on the scene with an all-confer-ence season in his fi rst year as a Division I starter and Hoog-straten (.382/12 RBI) set career highs in nearly every offensive category a year ago, despite only starting in seven games. “We have gotten a chance to develop them and I am glad they are here,” Raccuia says. “They have made signifi cant strides.” At the other end, Radford’s sophomore class made its share of contributions as freshmen in 2009. Kemp (.337/5 HR/36 RBI/13 SB) was the Big South freshman of the year, Mollenhauer (.306/27 RBI/.982 FLD%) was an everyday starter at second base, DeVito (6-3/6.95 ERA/12 starts) won six games as a weekday starter, and Patten (9 SV/23 appearances) set the school’s single-season saves record. “Obviously, they each had great fresh-man years,” Raccuia says. “They were great in the classroom and great on the fi eld. It’s going to be tough to match their numbers, but the bottom line is that they will be steadier and more mature. They will take on bigger leadership roles that they had in the past. Like our program, if they continue to develop we will go as far as they allow us to go because that is a pretty special group.” The performance of Radford’s sopho-mores, Raccuia says, is another step for-ward for his program in setting the standard for the kind of player they want. “We had to set the tone of what type of player to bring in here and I think we did a pretty good job of that. There are some other guys in that class that we expect to take on bigger roles this year and some other guys that should do the same as freshmen.” The seven true freshmen that will suit up for the Highlanders in 2010 include position players that will push for signifi cant play-ing time, as well as pitchers that will take on signifi cant roles in the rotation and bullpen. One player Radford won’t rely on this year is Alex Gregory

(.407/10 HR/RBI), a 17th-round selection of the Mets in 2009 that was arguably the face of the program for the last three seasons – a middle-of-the-order Big South batting champion and legitimate power threat. Despite the void left by his graduation, Raccuia says his lineup, from 1 through 9, is as solid as ever. “I think [hitting coach] Allen Rice said it best, that we are going to be better from top to bottom. We obviously don’t have the best hitter in the league hitting in our three hole or four hole like Alex Gregory did last year. One through nine is a pretty impres-sive line up and I think it is one that can put some pressure on other teams.”

In 2009, Radford’s lineup produced a .319 batting average, the second-best in school history, and returns fi ve starters and 12 total position players in 2010. A question spot of late for Radford has been the pitching staff, but Raccuia feels better about their prospects heading in to 2010, with all four starters returning and nine pitchers returning from last year’s group of arms. “The roles will shake out, even though I don’t know going into the season who is going to be the four, fi ve, and six,” Raccuia says. There are a lot of options. I think we are going to be really strong from our start-ers through our bullpen.” Along with Taylor and DeVito in the

rotation, Shane Pysh (3-4/5.94 ERA/11 starts) and Abram Wil-liams (2-5/5.95 ERA/10 starts) fortify Radford’s staff. From the lineup, to the bench and through the front to back end of pitching staff, Raccuia says the Highlanders may fi nd it hard to hide while moving forward. “We knew that when we took over the program three years ago that change needed to take place and I don’t think that we are going to be able to hide from anybody anymore and that is a good sign for our program.”

“I think [hitting coach] Allen Rice said it best, that we are going to be better from top to bottom.

Dear Highlander Baseball supporter, Let me begin with an expression of thanks and gratitude for the op-

portunity to coach here at Radford University. In our fi rst two years here

have improved both the quality of baseball we are playing and our wins and

loss record, but we still have not yet accomplished the ultimate goal of our

program: Winning Championships. We are building a tradition at Radford. We have taken steps to improve

but need you to help solidify our place as a perennial baseball power. In the

last three years, we have taken great strides to recruit, mentor, and produce

excellent student athletes from our program.

Now we must continue to build our tradition by incorporating other

elements of the puzzle. I invite you to help us build this tradition by becoming

a charter member of our Radford University Home Run Club.

The Club was created to foster the fan and fi nancial support necessary

to operate a successful Division I baseball program. Your investment in the

Club will help to grow the tradition that we are establishing at Radford, by

building new facilities and creating a game atmosphere that is refl ective of the

type of perennial power we want to become. Every gift, regardless of size,

makes a difference and takes us one step closer to achieving our ultimate

goal. On behalf of the team, I thank you in advance for the part you have

played in our success to this point. I now ask that you join us in taking the

next step to building a tradition that all alumni can be proud of by sending in

SEASON IN REVIEW


TURNING THE CORNER• The Highlanders fi nished the 2009 season 26-24 overall, the fi fth win-ning season in school history and sixth time Radford won 26 or more games in a season.• Radford’s winning record marked the fi rst .500-plus campaign for the Highlanders since the 2000 season, when Radford went 26-22.• The 26 wins in 50 games marked the third time in program history that Radford won 26 or more games while playing 50 or fewer games.

JOE RACCUIA MAKING HIS MARK• Head coach Joe Raccuia, a 1995 Radford graduate, now has 50 wins in his fi rst two sea-sons at Radford, becoming the second coach in school history to meet that mark (Lew Kent – 1995, ’96).• In his fi ve years at Radford as a player (1994-95), assistant coach (1996) and head coach (2008-09), Raccuia has 126 wins in a Highlander uniform.

RADFORD IN THE BIG SOUTH• Radford fi nished the 2009 Big South regular season with a 16-9 record, the second-most conference wins for a Highlander team and the third-best winning percentage (.640).• Following its series win over Liberty May 14-15, Radford posted six Big South series wins, includ-ing sweeps of UNC Asheville, VMI and Gardner-Webb. Three series triumphs came at home and the other three away from home.• Despite a 16-9 conference record in 2009, the third most Big South wins in program history, Radford did not have either a Big South pitcher or player of the week. The last time Radford didn’t have either honor was 2003, when the Highlanders won just fi ve conference games. Only three times since the player/pitcher of the week honor began in 1995 have the Highland-ers been shut out for the season: 1998 (7-11 Big South record), 2001 (5-16), 2003 (5-14).

HOME OR AWAY• Radford’s 2009 home record was 15-5, a .750 winning percentage, marking the second-best home record in program history. Only the 1989 team bested this mark, going 19-5 (.791) at Radford University Baseball Field, en route to a 27-19 overall ledger. The team’s 2009 home record is a stark contrast to 2008, when Radford was below .500 at home.

• For only the sixth time in school history, the Highlanders won 10 or more games away from home, going 10-14 in away games, and 1-5 in neutral-site games.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING• At the plate, the Highlanders hit .319 as a team, the second-highest batting average in program history (.320, 1994).• Despite setting the new program record for hits in a season with 583 in 2008, Radford topped that pace in 2009 with 11.3 hits/game for a total of 565.• The Highlanders nabbed 77 bases in 2009, the sixth-best total in school history and the most since 77 in 2000.• Radford fl ashed its share of leather as a team, posting the program’s second-best single-season fi elding percentage of .966. The 2004 Highlanders fi elded at a .970 clip.• The 66 errors on the season were fourth-low-est total in school history, and the 48 double plays were the fourth-most ever for a Radford team.• On the mound, Radford posted its fourth-lowest season ERA this decade (6.24) and allowed the fourth-fewest hits for a Highlander staff since 2000.

Season Notebook

REGGIE KEEN WALKS HIGHLANDERS OFF AGAINST VMI Junior right fi elder Reggie Keen’s walk-off RBI single to right fi eld lifted Radford to a 4-3 win in 10 innings over VMI in the second game of a Big South series on April 18. Keen’s second hit of the day came with one out in the 10th to bring home junior center fi elder Tyren Rivers. Rivers led off the decisive inning with a single up the middle and moved into scoring position on freshman second baseman Brett Mollenhauer’s sacrifi ce bunt.

JOE RACCUIA EARNS CAREER WIN NO. 100 Junior center fi elder Tyren Rivers drove in four runs and head coach Joe Raccuia earned his 100th career victory in Radford’s 12-6 non-conference win over Davidson on April 21. Raccuia earned his 100th career win with his 43rd at his alma mater (’95). He entered the season at 81-81 in his career, with 57 wins coming in two seasons at Marist (2004-05).

RADFORD RALLIES FOR SERIES WIN AT LIBERTY; JASON PATTEN SETS SAVES RECORD Radford rallied from behind in both games, sweeping a doubleheader from Liberty, 5-3 and 7-5, to take a Big South baseball series in the 2009 regular season fi nale at Worthington Stadium on May 15. With the wins, the Highlanders clinched their fi rst winning season since 2000, a 26-21 campaign for Radford. It’s the sixth overall win-ning season in school history; baseball began at Radford in 1985. Radford used 27 players, including seven pitchers, over the two games and got a bal-anced offensive effort of 21 hits from 10 differ-ent position players in the wins. Highlighting the day for the Highlanders was freshman right-hander Jason Patten’s ninth save in the nightcap, giving Patten the school’s new single-season saves record.

DRAMATIC NINTH STAVES OFF ELIMINATION AT BIG SOUTH TOURNEY; ALEX GREGORY TIES CAREER HOME RUN RECORD Radford’s fi ve-run ninth inning rally capped a comeback from down 7-2 in the fourth inning and lifted the fourth-seeded Highlanders to an 11-7 win over No. 1 Coastal Carolina at McCormick Field in the 2009 Big South baseball tournament on May 21. Radford scored fi ve runs over the last two innings, nine unan-swered, starting the rally with senior fi rst baseman Alex Gregory’s two-run homer to straight away center fi eld with two outs in the eighth inning to make the score 7-6, Coastal Carolina. Gregory hit his tenth home run of the season and tied the school’s career record of 38, set by Kelly Dampeer, in a game where he also became the all-time hits leader.

After senior left fi elder Will Naylor hit into a fi elder’s choice to put Radford one out away from elimination, freshman second baseman Brett Mollenhauer singled to center to extend the game and put runners at the corners for the Highlanders. Junior Tyren Rivers followed with a fi rst-pitch single into right fi eld to score Naylor and tie the game at 7-7. The next batter, junior right fi elder Reggie Keen, was down to his fi nal strike on a 1-2 count before a single to left scored Mollenhauer to give Radford its fi rst lead of the day, 8-7. Freshman Matt Hillsinger and Gregory added RBI hits to give Radford insurance and an 11-7 lead in the ninth. Freshman right-hander Jason Patten, the school’s single-season saves leader, closed out the game by striking out the side in the ninth

and preserving the victory for the Highlanders.

JEFF KEMP NAMED TO FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICA TEAM Coming off one of the most prolifi c of-fensive seasons for a freshman in program history, shortstop Jeff Kemp was named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America Team, announced by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. His batting average is second all-time among Radford freshmen with 150 at-bats or more (Duane Filchner - .357, 1992). Kemp’s 36 knocked in are third-best for a Highlander frosh, trailing Alex Gregory’s 40 in (2006), Adam McKenzie’s 37 in 1998 and tying Kelly Dampeer’s 36 in 1994. Kemp joins McKenzie (1998), Dampeer (1994) and Mike Lombardi (1997) as Radford players to earn Freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.

ALEX GREGORY, EDDIE BUTLER SELECTED IN MLB DRAFT

First baseman Alex Gregory was selected in the 17th round (524th overall) by the New York Mets in the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Gregory became the 11th draft selection in program history and the fi fth position player to get the call. In addition, incoming freshman Eddie Butler was picked in the 35th round (1054th overall) by the Texas Rangers. The right-handed pitcher signed a letter of intent with the Highlanders in the fall of 2008.

ALEX GREGORY NAMED FIRST TEAM ALL-STATE Following his third straight season hitting better than .400, fi rst base-man Alex Gregory was named to the University Division All-State Base-ball fi rst team, as selected by the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID). Gregory, who was a second team honoree in 2007 and 2008, got the fi rst team nod after posting arguably the fi nest offensive season for a fi rst baseman in the Commonwealth in 2009.

Reggie Keen’s walk-off single in the 10th in-ning against VMI, and his go-ahead RBI single against Coastal Carolina in the Big South tour-nament were highlights in 2009 for Radford.

Freshman shortstop Jeff Kemp became one of three players in Radford history to earn Fresh-man All-America honors in 2009.


ALEX GREGORY• Hit .407 for the season to become the fi rst player in Radford and Big South conference history to top the .400 mark in three-straight seasons.• His two-run shot in the eighth inning that arguably sparked the High-landers’ improbable come-from-behind win over Coastal Carolina was the 38th of his Radford career, tying him with Kelly Dampeer (1994-97) for the school’s career record.• Gregory’s single in the third inning on May 21st made him the school’s all-time hits leader, besting Duane Filchner’s 269 career knocks set from 1992-95. He fi nished with 272 career hits.• Finished his Radford career with a .376 aver-age, the second-best career mark in school history (Filchner - .389).• In the Big South career annals, Gregory is tenth in batting average and tied for eighth in home runs.• His 2009 on-base percentage of .518 was sev-enth in conference history (single-season).

JEFF KEMP• 2009 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America selection• Named the 2009 Big South freshman of the year, becoming the fi rst Radford player to earn the fresh-man/rookie of the year honor since its inception in 1995.• Kemp’s batting average (.337) is the second-highest freshman average in school history (150 or more at-bats): Duane Filchner - .357 (46-of-185), 1992 Jeff Kemp - .337 (66-of-196), 2009Kellen Wohlford - .333 (51-of-153), 2002

REGGIE KEEN • After hitting .173 in his fi rst 13 games entering the weekend series at Presbyterian (March 20-22), Keen went .367 at the plate to up his season bat-ting average to .317 entering the tournament.• Keen reached safely in 23 of 25 Big South games in 2009; he had hits in all but four conference games.• Keen’s RBI single in the ninth inning with two outs provided the go-ahead runs in Radford’s come-from-behind win over Coastal Carolina May 21 at the Big South Tournament.

TYREN RIVERS• Finished with a career-high three homers in 2009.• Had 19 stolen bases to lead the Highlanders in 2009: it was tied for the fi fth-best total in a single-season in program history.• Rivers singled home the tying run with two outs in Radford’s come-from-behind win over Coastal Carolina at the Big South Tournament May 21.

BRETT MOLLENHAUER• Mollenhauer fi nished the season with just four errors, averaging 4.6

chances per game. He was a part of a team-high 33 double plays, a category the Highlanders lead the league in (48 total).• Nine multi-hit games in Big South action, including six hits and fi ve runs driven in during the Gardner-Webb series (May 1-2).

NICK MINTER• Minter set career-highs in nearly every statistical category in 2009, including games started, batting average and extra-base hits.• His eight games with three hits was second on the team, behind Alex Gregory’s nine.

ROBERT LAMAS• Lamas fi nished his fi rst season as the regular starting catcher for Radford in style: he went 4-for-9 at the Big South tournament.• In addition to the physical demands of being the number one catcher, Lamas has been hit by a team-high 10 pitches in 36 games; his on-base percentage of .446 is boosted by his 24 free passes this season.

RICK HOOGSTRATEN• Hoogstraten was far and away the team’s top pinch hitter in 2009: he fi nished 6-of-13 (.462) in pinch-hit appearances.• This was a career season for the junior: despite starting 23 games entering 2009, Hoogstraten was only penciled in to the starting lineup six times, but had career-highs in nearly every offensive cat-egory, including his 21 hits and 12 knocked in.

AERIK TAYLOR• In his fi rst season as a weekend starter at the Di-vision I level, Taylor was a second-team all-confer-ence selection, fi nishing 5-4 with a 4.90 ERA.• Taylor led the Radford pitching staff with his seven quality starts (6 IP, 3 ER or fewer), including

a streak of fi ve in a row in Big South games between April 3-May 1 (3-0 record).• He led Radford starters with a 4-2 record and 4.50 ERA in Big South games; Taylor averaged six innings per conference start in the regular season.

JASON PATTEN• In Patten’s record-setting freshman season, seven of his nine saves came in Big South games. Patten was 7-for-8 in conference save op-portunities.• His conference saves alone would have been good for second all-time in a single season.• Patten fi nished the season 9-for-11 in save opportunities.

ecapKEMP, GREGORY, TAYLOR HONORED BY BIG SOUTH

Radford freshman shortstop Jeff Kemp was named the Big South’s freshman of the year, while senior fi rst baseman Alex Gregory and junior right-hander Aerik Taylor took second-team all-conference honors, as announced prior to the 2009 Big South Baseball Tournament. Gregory was also named to the league’s all-academic team for the second straight year. Since the Big South’s rookie/freshman of the year award be-gan in 1994, Kemp (pictured right) is the fi rst Radford frosh to earn the honor. A player penciled into the starting lineup and heart of the order since opening day, Kemp put together one of the fi nest offensive seasons for a freshman in Radford’s history. His batting average is second all-time among Radford freshmen with 150 at-bats or more (Duane Filchner - .357, 1992). Kemp’s 36 knocked in are third-best for a Highlander frosh, trailing Alex Gregory’s 40 in (2006), Adam McKenzie’s 37 in 1998 and tying Kelly Dampeer’s 36 in 1994. He provided an offensive spark to begin his career, reaching safely in 18 of his fi rst 19 games. For the season, Kemp had 21

multi-hit games and nine multi-RBI efforts. Gregory (pictured left) earned all-conference honors for the third time in his career, and became the fi rst player in Big South history to hit better than .400 in three straight seasons. A stalwart both offensively and defensively for the Highland-ers over the last four seasons, Gregory was once again honored for his work in the classroom. Finishing his academic career with a 3.66 GPA in marketing, Gregory graduated on May 9.

That same day he went 3-for-3 with two homers against Marshall at Calfee Park in Pulaski, arriving right after his ceremony and just minutes before fi rst pitch. Taylor (pictured right) made his return to Division I baseball with the Highlanders in 2009, after transferring from Hagerstown Community College in 2008 and previously, Oklahoma State. In his fi rst year as a full-time starter at college baseball’s highest level, Taylor went 5-4 in 15 starts. His fi nest start of the season came in a no-decision at then-No. 17 (NCBWA) Coastal Carolina on April 10, with six shutout innings over seven frames. The righty also set down 13 hitters in a row and fanned four in an emotional start following the death of Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Ad-enhart, his high school teammate and friend.

The Radford University strategic plan “7-17”, completed in 2007 at her direction, identifies four strate-gic directives -- the investment in people, programs, global and local society and the future of Rad-

ford University.Under President Kyle’s leadership, the university also

added its first doctoral program with an emphasis in rural mental health and launched an initiative to grow graduate college student enrollment by offering additional doctoral and masters level programs. She hired the university’s first provost and created two new vice presidential areas of responsibility, Information Technology and University Rela-tions. The Radford University Board of Visitors, at Presi-dent Kyle’s request, has increased its membership by four positions to provide an opportunity for more diversity and leadership innovation within the governing body.

She received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Law and later earned her MBA from the College of William and Mary.

President Kyle served as Executive Director of the Virginia Lottery for 11 years, under three successive gov-ernors. First appointed by Governor George Allen in 1994, she was reappointed by Governor James Gilmore, and then reappointed once again by Governor Mark Warner. Previously, Ms. Kyle was employed by CSX Corpora-tion, an international transportation company, where she became the company’s first female officer. Before join-ing CSX Corporation, she was an attorney with McGuire, Woods, LLP in Richmond. She also taught English for six years at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton, Virginia.

President Kyle serves in leadership positions on nu-merous educational, civic, cultural, professional, financial and volunteer organizations. She served on the Board of Visitors at James Madison University from 1984 until 1992 and on the JMU Foundation Board 1992 until 1994.

PENELOPEKYLE

Radford UniversityPresident


Since being introduced as Radford University’s Director of Athletics in the fall of 2007, Radford native Robert Lineburg has helped usher in a new era of Highlander athletics, marked by unprecedented on-and off-fi eld improvements and successes.

“Robert Lineburg brings a unique collection of skills and experiences that make him a great fi t for our pro-gram,” Radford President Penelope W. Kyle said. “He is a former coach, he has worked in the corporate world. His ties to the City of Radford will help build community support for Highland-er athletics.”

In his short time with the depart-ment, Lineburg has been the catalyst

for a number of changes, particularly in areas such as facilities, personnel and strategic planning.

His most visible infl uence to date has been on the Dedmon Center, where Lineburg has been involved with major renova-tions to the centerpiece of Radford athletics for more than 25 years. Beginning in the spring of 2008, the facility underwent transformations to the arena, including a new steel-supported roof, a new basketball fl oor, renovated athletic offi ces, a new-look natatorium, and improved athletic locker, training, and medical facilities.

Lineburg has also overseen the hires of four new head coaches, as well as fi ve new athletic administrators. His hires include women’s basketball head coach Taj Njongba, head volleyball coach Marci Jenkins, women’s head golf coach Jeff Beeler, and the promo-tion of track and fi eld interim director Brent Chumbley to head coaches’ sta-tus. Among the administrators added in Lineburg’s tenure are executive associ-ate A.D. Randy Butt, assistant A.D. for communications Joey Beeler, director of student-athlete support services/se-nior women’s adminstrator Stephanie Ballein, and associate A.D. for external operations Greg Herring.

As a result of the changes, Radford achieved a banner year in 2008-09: women’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s tennis and softball claimed Big South conference crowns and advanced to NCAA Tournament play. Women’s soccer advanced to its fourth tournament, men’s basketball won the Big South regular-sea-son and tournament title to advance to the NCAAs for the fi rst time since 1998, men’s tennis made its third-straight appear-ance, and softball appeared for the fi rst time and won Rad-ford’s fi rst-ever NCAA tournament game in any sport.

He and his staff have also been responsible for creating a fi ve-year strategic plan for the Radford athletic department and building an athletics facilities master plan. Additional

achievements include ushering in a new athletics Internet site (RadfordAthletics.com), and helping implement a new ticket system (Ticket Return). Lineburg and his staff have also hosted top-level competition, with three Big South championships tak-ing place on the Radford campus in 2008-09 (men’s basketball, track & fi eld and softball).

In addition to making an impact on Radford athletics, Lineburg is also involved in a number of different organizations and committees. He is the chairman of the Big South Confer-ence Subcommittee on Basketball Improvement, a member of the Big South ad-hoc Committee on Basketball Issues, and a member of the selection committee to select Radford Univer-sity’s Vice President for Advancement.

Prior to becoming Radford’s third Director of Athletics, Lineburg’s corporate knowledge was groomed as a marketing associate with Peloton Real Estate Partners in Dallas, Texas.

Along with his business experience, Lineburg spent 15 seasons as a college basketball coach, including time as Southern Methodist’s (Dallas, Texas) interim head coach. Prior to serving as the Mustangs interim head coach, Lineburg spent eight years as an assistant coach at SMU. Following his interim tenure, he served two more seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Methodist.

Lineburg’s coaching resume also includes assistant coach-ing positions with the men’s basketball programs at James Madison University and Emory & Henry College, as well as with the Dallas Mavericks summer league team. His coaching experience also took him through the Big South, as he spent

time on the sideline at UNC Greens-boro.

A 1991 graduate of Roanoke College, Lineburg started his colle-giate basketball career as a Radford Highlander, where he was a two-year letterman before transferring to nearby Roanoke College to play his fi nal two years.

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in political science with a minor in his-tory. In 1995, he received a Master’s Degree in education from Virginia Tech, where he was also a graduate assistant on the men’s basketball staff.

“In addition to being a good candidate, Robert is a Radford native, something that will serve him well in his new role,” Kyle said at the time of his hire. “He has great family ties in the area and we’re excited he’s decided to come home to work with us.”

Lineburg is the son of retired Rad-ford High School football coach and

athletic director Norman Lineburg and the brother of Dr. Mark Lineburg, the Assistant Superintendent of Amherst Country Schools, Paul Lineburg, the Assistant Principal at Cave Spring H.S. and Wayne Lineburg, who is in his third season as the wide receivers coach at the University of Virginia.

He is married to the former Mary Parish, also a native of Radford.

Big South C

onferenceSince its founding

in 1983, the Big South Conference has ma-tured into a competi-tive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the fi eld of play and in the class-room. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage,

innovative marketing and media partner-ships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intention-ally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director How-ard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Camp-bell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s fi rst Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an offi cial conference. The Big South’s fi rst year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fl edged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing au-tomatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton

as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its fi rst automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifi er to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its fi rst-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the fi nest teams in the nation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander re-placed Sasser as the League’s third Commis-sioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the fi rst time in Con-ference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its fi rst long-range strategic plan, re-affi rming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of insti-tutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to frui-tion in 2002, and has solidifi ed Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Camp-bell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advance-ments, as the Conference introduced its fi rst live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partner-ship with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than

200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & fi eld, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Champi-onship four times in addition to the fi rst men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution fi nish fi fth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Confer-ence’s highest-ever team fi nish in an NCAA event

In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tourna-ment (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed three out of the last fi ve years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fi fth-year of the Big South’s football existence.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s fi rst 25 years. The Conference’s on-fi eld accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

SPORTS MEDICINE AT RADFORD UNIVERSITYThe department of sports medicine at RU is deeply

concerned with both the short-term and long-term ef-fects of intercollegiate competition on the physical and mental well being of the student-athlete.

The sports medicine department is committed to providing quality health care to all varsity student-ath-letes, which begins with injury prevention. It is a priority to work with coaches, physicians, and the rest of the medical community to ensure that student-athletes are physically and mentally prepared for practice and competition.

Additionally, the sports medicine staff is respon-sible for the treatment and rehabilitation of all athletically related injuries. It is the staff’s goal to return the athlete to a level equal or above that of their pre-injury status; no athlete will return to play until his or her highest post-injury level of function has been achieved.

Lastly, the concern from the physical well being of the student-athlete includes the opposition to the use of all illegal and NCAA-banned chemi-cal substances by student-athletes. It is the responsibility of the sports medicine staff to provide athletes with information on the ill effects of drug use and to provide deterrents through periodic, random drug testing by the institution and the NCAA.

Serving as team orthopedic surgeon for Radford athletics is Dr. James Lebolt. His practice, the Virginia Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Institute, is located in Christiansburg.

Lebolt’s background includes treating athletes from MLB, NFL, and the NBA during a fellowship with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews of Birmingham, Ala.

A native of Hurricane, W. Va., Lebolt earned his medical degree from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in 2001, and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Michigan State University working with the Spartan athletic teams in 2006.

His other experience in sports medicine includes intimate work with Virginia Tech, University of Alabama, Jacksonville State University, and the Washington Redskins.

Dr. Delmas Bolin, a Primary Care Physician and Sports Medicine Specialist joins RU as its Head Team Physician for Intercollegiate Athletics.

Bolin began working with Radford student-ath-letes during the 2007-08 academic year, and now joins the program on a full-time basis.

Bolin, whose background includes training in non-operative orthopedics and biomechanics, is the Director of the Center for Sports Medicine in Salem and an Associate Professor with VCOM. He spent the last fi ve years as the men’s basketball team physician at Virginia Tech.

Dr. Bolin completed a PhD in biochemistry and his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign and a residency at Michigan State University in family medicine. Bolin also completed a sports fellowship

at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, working with the team physi-cians for the University of Pittsburgh as well as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Steelers.

Dr. Bolin currently serves as the Director for the PCA Center for Sports Medicine in Salem and is an Associate Professor of Family and Sports Medi-cine at VCOM.
