Longwood University became the 12th member of the Big South Conference on July 1, 2012.Embarking on its 30th year in 2013-14, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leaderin college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’sgrowing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments onthe national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, andquality athletic competition while intentionally 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 Howard Bagwell

and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, CharlestonSouthern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner andcontinued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more thanthe required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths inseveral national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retir-ing Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received itsfirst automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAABaseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, theConference implemented its public relations and compliance programs,and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featur-ing the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in thenation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’sthird Commissioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South,Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting theConference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels inmarketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television cover-age to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s andwomen’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time inConference history, as well as increased national television exposure tothe League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiatedits first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as adistinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutionallife through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to addfootball as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, andoversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidifiedConference membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions com-prise the 30-year old League. Recent additions include High Point,Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return ofcharter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced itsfirst live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 events annually through a partnership with themember institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conferencehas had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 300 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s bas-ketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoortrack & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennisdoubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, hadthe nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has received twoat-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in thetop 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007).

In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a teamin the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (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 four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while theChanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s SamChelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals forthe second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s bas-ketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships(cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached theSecond Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance tothe NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well

as a record 42 All-Americans.This past season, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans.

The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason gamefor the first time since 2005, had a League-record four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach theNCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play.

Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made theU.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacsqualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s TyWigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour events since departingthe Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley became thethird Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA two years ago.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25thAnniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with LibertyUniversity’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. TheConference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past four years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League hashad more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public RecognitionAwards for APR progress the last four years.

2013 Longwood University Girls Soccer Camp participants

Longwood experienced much success during its first year in the Big South Conference, completing season one with an impressive 8-2-1 league record enroute to finishing 13-6-2 overall. The Lancers tied for second place during the regular season, hosting a quarterfinal while advancing to the semifinals of the BigSouth Women’s Soccer Championship. Longwood posted its highest win total as a Division I program, and equaled the sixth-highest win total in the 19-year his-tory of the program founded by 20th-year head coach Todd Dyer ‘93. The Lancers return six starters among 20 letterwinners from a year ago, and nine talentednewcomers have been added to the roster. So what does Dyer, who has an outstanding career record of 206-125-22 and 15 winning seasons as the sport's onlyhead coach, envision for an encore in 2013?

“Last year we had a small taste of success in the conference regular season and tournament, so we’d like to see if we can take things even further this year,”said Dyer. “On that same note, we all realize that this is a new year and a new team and it’s a matter of earning it all over again and not just building on last sea-son.”

Among returners, senior midfielder Kelsey Pardue was named to the All-Big South First Team, while sophomores Olivia Colella and Meghan Magee wereeach named to the All-Freshman Team a year ago. Pardue, who started all 21 matches, led the team in scoring with seven goals and six assists for 20 points, andearned National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Southeast Region Third Team honors. She led the team in every offensive category forthe second consecutive season, including goals, assists, points, shots (63), shots on goal (30) and game-winning goals (five), and was also named Longwood'sFemale Athlete of the Year. Colella started 10 of 20 matches and the forward/midfielder added three goals and one assist for seven points, while Magee, a defend-er, also started every contest and helped the squad to 10 shutouts and added an assist last season.

“As good a player as Pardue is, the fact of the matter is that she’ll be a marked woman this year and will have to work even harder to continue her successand growth as a player,” said Dyer. “She’s very capable of meeting that challenge, but the key is allowing her teammates to shoulder some of that burden as well.With Olivia, I think her best soccer is still ahead of her and her versatility up top and in midfield is going to allow us to utilize her in a variety of ways. We gaveMagee a lot of responsibility last year at the center back position and this year she needs to continue to take more ownership of that backline and become a con-sistent leader in that area of the field for us.”

The other returning starters include junior forward Kelsey McDonald, sophomore midfielder Alana Mackey, junior defender Taylor Cave and senior defend-er Chelsea Walter. McDonald started all 21 matches, as well, and contributed three goals and three assists for nine points. Mackey also started every contest,adding one goal for two points. Cave started 20 of 21 matches and had one assist for one point. Walter started 16 of 18 contests.

“Mac continues to grow as a player and has really stepped up as a leader for this group,” said Dyer. “She’s one of our strongest athletes whose soccerinstincts allow her to be in the center of the action wherever it occurs on the field. Cave is one of our most consistent performers on the backline, yet she con-tinues to push herself and strive for greater things. With Chelsea, don’t make the mistake of thinking that her quiet demeanor is a reflection of how she plays thegame. Quite the opposite, she’s very tenacious at the outside back position and her actions speak much louder than her words.”

Additional top returning scorers include junior midfielder Kylie Dyer, junior midfielder/forward Samantha Phillips and sophomore forward HayleaWitz/Chesapeake. Dyer, the daughter of the head coach, played in 19 matches and had three goals and one assist for seven points. Phillips started seven of 21contests with two goals for four points. Witz started two of 21 matches and also had two goals for four points.

“Kylie scored some big goals for us last year and we’re hoping for more of the same this time around,” said Dyer. “Sam came into preseason in the bestshape of her life and really looks strong heading into the season. She’ll most likely start in central midfield for us, but we’re counting on her to be a factor wher-ever she fits into the lineup. Haylea has a year under her belt now and continues to work hard, so we’re anticipating an even greater impact this fall.”

Other returning letterwinners include graduate goalkeeper Shelby Hall, redshirt-junior goalkeeper Dana Wallace, junior defender/forward Rebecca Soares,junior forward Lexi Jones, junior midfielder Kelsey Trace, sophomore goalkeeper Hailey Machen, sophomore midfielder/forward Sarah Watson, sophomore mid-fielder/forward Bridget Bergquist, sophomore defender Katie Beebe and sophomore defender Amelia McConnell. Hall started one of four matches, allowingthree goals (1.60), and will get the first opportunity to start in front of the net this season. Wallace played briefly in one contest. Soares started two of 17 match-es, mostly as a defender. Jones played in one contest, and Trace played in five matches, while Machen did not see action but is expected to challenge Hall forplaying time. Watson played in three contests. Bergquist started three of 21 matches with one goal for two points. Beebe started four of 17 contests, andMcConnell played in one match.

“With this group of returners that gained a great deal of experience last season, it’s now just a matter of seeing who plays themselves into the mix regard-ing playing time or even a starting position,” said Dyer. “With Shelby having graduated and returned for her final year of eligibility, I’m sure she has big plansat the goalkeeper position and she’s extremely motivated to take full advantage of this opportunity.”

New to the program this year are sophomore forward Lilly Payne, along with eight freshmen, including forward Christina Corbin, forward/midfielder GinaD’Orazio, forward/midfielder Natalie Fry, midfielder Nickie Ivey, defender Jordan Metzger, defender Jessica O’Bryant, defender/midfielder Amanda Spencer andforward Ashley Weidner.

“With all of our first year players, the big question is how quickly they can transition to the demands and challenges of soccer and academics at the DivisionI level,” said Dyer. “They all have the tools to contribute and have an impact this year, so it’s just a matter of finding that balance which will allow them to per-form to the best of their ability.”

Longwood will again play a 19-match, regular-season schedule that features 11 Big South matches, including six league home contests at the AthleticsComplex in Farmville. The Lancers are 48-15-3 on their home turf since beginning competition at the facility in 2006, including 8-1-1 at home last season, asthe program is now 41-14-2 at the Athletics Complex since becoming DI eligible for the 2007 season.

“On top of a very competitive league schedule, this is the toughest non-conference schedule we’ve ever put together,” said Dyer. “We did that for a reasonand it is to better prepare us for post-season play. We’ll have to play well and be mentally tough throughout the season in order to get positive results, but if we’reable to do so, we’ll be well equipped as we head into our conference tournament.”

The 2013 Big South Women’s Soccer Championship will feature the top eight teams playing quarterfinal matches at the four highest seeds on November 2,followed by semifinal matches on November 8 and the tournament championship contest on November 10, hosted by Coastal Carolina in Conway, South Carolina.

“The ultimate goal is to extend our season as long as possible and earn the right to play in the postseason,” said Dyer. “To do that, we must perform con-sistently throughout the year and make sure we’re playing our best soccer at the end of the year. I like our team and I like our chances, so now it’s time to get towork and embrace this journey together. Go Lancers!”

Longwood also received the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the fourth consecutive year with an overall team GPA of 3.41 attained during the previous2011-12 academic year, and expects to receive this distinction again for efforts during 2012-13. First-year assistant coach Rich Stoneman joins the program, aswell.

With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years,Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning environmentthat extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 1839 as the FarmvilleFemale Seminary Association, the school was a pioneer first in privateand later in public education. The state of Virginia acquired the school in1884 and renamed it as the Normal School, the first state institution ofhigher learning for women in Virginia. Over the years, the schoolexpanded its curricula and had a succession of names, becomingLongwood College in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April24, 2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. Mark Warnersigned legislation that designated Longwood as a university, effectiveJuly 1, 2002.

The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as LongwoodUniversity offers more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations tomore than 4,800 students. Given its historical roots, LongwoodUniversity enjoys an enviable reputation for teacher preparation. But theexcellence has expanded throughout the university with strong programsin the liberal arts and sciences, business, and professional and pre-pro-fessional programs. Today the coeducational, comprehensive state uni-versity comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Artsand Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College ofEducation and Human Services and the College of Graduate andProfessional Studies. The graduate college offers programs in education,communication sciences and disorders, English and sociology, as well asan MBA degree.

Under the leadership of Interim President Marge Connelly,Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and provides ameaningful learning environment. Students get an excellent groundingin theory then translate their newly acquired knowledge into action bydoing research, internships, fieldwork and community service.Recognizing the value of experiential learning, Longwood is one of thefew universities in the country to require all students to complete aninternship or similar learning experience before graduation.Additionally, Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to requirethat every freshman have a laptop computer. Technology is integratedthroughout the learning process—an essential element for preparing theleaders of tomorrow.

The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of develop-ing citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of services andresources. It is a learning-centered environment that fosters intellectualexchange, scholarly communication, cultural enrichment, lifelong infor-

mation literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library providesmore than 343,000 titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal sub-scriptions, and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integrated tech-nology for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world.This state-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Longwood’s 22ndpresident, Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood who served from 1981 to 1987.

Longwood provides a range of business services to the region andstate through the Longwood Small Business Development Center, whilethe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts serves as an important andinnovative study center and cultural resource for the Commonwealth ofVirginia.

Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and cultur-al impact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. A study con-ducted by the Longwood Small Business Development Center estimatesthat university employees, students and visitors spent more than $90 mil-lion in 2007—with 66 percent of that amount being spent in Farmvilleand the eight surrounding counties.

The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Farmville,Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting the charm, beauty andcharacter associated with its long heritage. The campus community wasenhanced with the opening of Brock Commons, a beautiful pedestrianpromenade that provides a central focal point for the Longwood campuswhile eliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains,walkways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping contribute toBrock Commons, creating a parklike atmosphere for students, faculty,staff and the public.

Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicated onApril 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most beloved building andits beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, which burned on April 24,2001, while undergoing a $12 million renovation. The original eightpaintings on the interior of the rotunda dome, created in 1905 by theItalian-born artist Eugene D. Monfalcone of Richmond, have beenreturned to the dome following an extensive restoration that was underway prior to the fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affection-ately as “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and returned toits place of honor on the main floor beneath the rotunda. The larger-than-life sculpture is a reproduction of the famous 1870 original created byFrench sculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu. The statue was a gift ofthe Class of 1914 and symbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint ofLongwood.

Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on theoriginal blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Richmond.

The 83,143-square-foot building houses 22 classrooms, four aca-demic departments, the offices of the Vice President for AcademicAffairs and the deans of the College of Graduate and ProfessionalStudies and the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, named forbenefactors Dr. John R. Cook (Class of 1952) and Dr. Waverly M. Cole.

Between Ruffner Hall and Blackwell Hall, a sunlit hallway formsthe Cole Gallery, which features a collection of more than 500 pieces of19th-century Bohemian glass, Meissen porcelain and English potterydonated to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts by Dr. Cole.Standing guard over this rare collection of decorative arts, with hersword held high, is the recently renovated equestrian statue of Joan ofArc, or “Joanie on the Pony,” by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington.

Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 asthe campus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived the GreatFire of 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory of Dr. Herbert R.Blackwell, professor of English and dean of the college. Today, follow-ing a recent renovation and conversion, Blackwell Hall has a new roleproviding space for social, cultural and educational events for the cam-pus and community. Along with Blackwell Hall, the extensive renova-tion included the adjacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.

The flexible inte-rior design provides space for banquets, meetings and special eventsalong with a Grand Dining Room seating 500 and an arcade seating anadditional 700.

In fall 2009, the Center for Communication Studies and Theatreopened a new era for one of Longwood’s fastest-growing programs.

CommoNWeALTh oF VirGiNiA

The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13colonies. Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England,Virginia was England’s first successful overseas colony and the siteof the first permanent English settlement in America. West Virginiawas part of Virginia until 1863.

Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democraticprinciples on which the United States was founded. Virginia played

an important role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and itentered the Union as the 10th of the original 13 states on June 25,1788. During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capi-tal, Richmond, was also capital of the Confederacy. The state haslong been nicknamed Old Dominion.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, andJames Monroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of the UnitedStates and were among the first five U.S. presidents. Virginia is alsothe birthplace of U.S. presidents William Henry Harrison, JohnTyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson.

Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, boundedon the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north and east by Marylandand the District of Columbia, on the west by West Virginia andKentucky, and on the south by Tennessee and North Carolina.

According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s populationwas 8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach(435,619) is one of the most popular resort destinations on the EastCoast, as well as Virginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913) is thestate capital and a center of banking and insurance, and of both retailand wholesale trade. The Naval Base at Norfolk (229,112) and theNaval Shipyard at Portsmouth (101,377) employ thousands of civil-ians and military personnel. Hampton (145,017) is important for itsaviation activities such as Langley Air Force Base and a NationalAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) facility. In NewportNews (178,281) is a shipyard that builds naval ships, including air-craft carriers. Alexandria (136,974) is part of the Washington, D.C.,metropolitan area. Lynchburg (67,720) is the site of light industries.Roanoke (91,552) is the largest city in western Virginia.

Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal gov-ernment, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pentagon,which houses the Department of Defense, is located in Virginia andis the leading federal employer in the northern part of the state. Thereare also important military bases in Virginia, particularly the massivecomplex of army, navy, and air force bases in the vicinity of Norfolk.

Average January temperatures range from less than 32°F in thewest to more than 42°F in southeastern Virginia. Average July tem-peratures range from more than 78°F in the southeast to less than68°F in the western mountains. Total precipitation ranges fromabout 35 to more than 50 inches. Snowfalls are moderate, except inthe mountain regions.

Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusettsand Pennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of their offi-cial names. The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, whenthe first Constitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, usedcommonwealth as the name for the new form of government. It isvery likely they had in mind the Puritans’ rebellion against theCrown in England more than 100 years earlier.

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called com-monwealths after independence from Great Britain. The other 10former colonies took the name “state,” the term used in theDeclaration of Independence. Kentucky was once part of Virginia.When Kentuckians joined the Union as the 15th state in 1792, it alsokept the name commonwealth.
