Meredith College students have participated in athletic events on

campus for more than 100 years. Athletics at Meredith College began

in 1904 with the advent of Meredith’s Athletic Association. In addition

to sponsoring other student activities around campus, the athletic

association began to sponsor sports in 1937. The original sports

at Meredith included basketball and tennis. Meredith’s basketball

program began with two teams, the Reds and the Blues. The first

competitive games against other schools were held in 1904 with two

games against St. Mary’s College.

In the early years, Meredith athletic activities included swimming,

soccer, horseback riding, tennis, baseball, basketball, golf, football and

field hockey. The first events were primarily inter-class competitions.

In November 1937, Meredith

aligned with the Virginia Field

Hockey Association and

became a part of the United

States Conference.

The 1940s and 1950s

brought some big victories

for the basketball team. In

1944, Meredith’s freshman-

sophomore basketball team hosted the Peace Junior

College (now Peace College) team. The outcome was a victory for

Meredith, and the game marked the beginning of the heated cross-

town rivalry between the two Raleigh women’s colleges. In 1952, the

basketball team pulled out impressive victories against the University

of North Carolina and Duke. The field hockey team continued this

trend in 1952 by defeating both the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils.

Meredith athletics took on a new life with the completion of

Weatherspoon Gymnasium in 1970. Weatherspoon is still the home

of the basketball and volleyball teams, training facilities and athletics

offices. The first full-semester golf team was launched in 1976.

The volleyball and tennis teams saw their first winning seasons

during the 1970s.

Riding the wave of momentum built in the 1970s, Meredith athletics

earned state and conference titles in the 1980s. In 1980, the golf

team won the NCAIAW state championship while the tennis team

took the conference title. Also in that year, the Student Government

Association adopted the angel

as the school’s official mascot.

The golf team finished second

in the AIAW Division III national

tournament in 1981, making

it the first bid for a Meredith

athletics team to compete for a

national championship. Softball

was added as a varsity sport during

the 1985-86 academic year. The most recent varsity sports to be added

were soccer in 1993 and cross country in 2005.

In recent years at Meredith, there has been an increase in the

competitiveness of the athletics programs on a regional and national

level in Division III. The program has had five NCAA tournament

bids across three different sports since 2001 (basketball 2001,

2003; tennis 2003, 2007; and soccer 2007). During the summer

of 2007 the name of the sports teams was changed to

“Avenging Angels” to emphasize the prowess of

Meredith athletes. The 2007-08 season marked

the first year of competition in the USA South

Athletic Conference.

Meredith is committed to blending

intercollegiate athletics with a strong academic

program. Student-athletes follow the same

academic requirements and standards as other

students; they must maintain good academic

standing with the College, be full-time

students and follow the rules of the NCAA.

The athletic program maintains the same high

standards set for other departments and the same

commitment to the education and personal development

of student-athletes.

MEREdith COllEgE AthlEtiCS hiStORy thE diViSiON iii EXPERiENCE Meredith athletics teams

participate in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic

Association. Meredith College fully supports the Division III

experience that allows the student athlete to enjoy competitive

sports and other activities throughout their college years. Division

III athletics offers student-athletes the opportunity to become

well-rounded individuals who successfully integrate athletics and

academics while experiencing all aspects of college life. Division III

athletics feature athletes who can receive only academic financial

assistance and athletics departments that are staffed and funded

like any other department in the College.

ACAdEMiCS Meredith College’s commitment to academics

is exemplified by its athletics teams. Each year, the USA South

Athletic Conference recognizes its student-athletes’ hard work in the

classroom by naming an Academic All-Conference team. A student-

athlete must have earned a 3.0 GPA in each of the two semesters

of a given year to be eligible. The athletics department also offers

a special Athletics Director’s List that recognizes the athletes that

receive a 3.5 each of the two semesters. During the 2007-08 season,

48.7% of Meredith’s student athletes finished with a 3.0 or higher

and 20% received the Athletics Director’s award with a 3.5 or higher.

MEdiCAl SERViCES In addition to the academic and fitness

programs available, the athletic training staff provides excellent

care for participants. The athletic training support staff consists of

head athletic trainer, Sharon Malley, student athletic trainers from

the University of North Carolina and on-call physicians. Some of the

services and equipment provided in the Weatherspoon Gymnasium

include a whirlpool, hydrocollator, ultrasound, injury ice and

electrical stimulation. Meredith College serves as a clinical site for

the UNC-Chapel Hill Undergraduate Athletic Training Program.

StRENgth ANd CONditiONiNg The program is headed

by Meredith’s Strength and Conditioning Coach David Zinn who

is a certified personal trainer and sports conditioning specialist.

An instructor in the Department of Health, Exercise & Sports

Sciences at Meredith, Coach Zinn assists in the development and

implementation of conditioning and weight training programs for all

of Meredith sports.

COMMUNity SERViCE The student athletes at Meredith

College are committed to much more than sports. Members from

each team are elected to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee

that organizes support for each sport and also coordinates

community service. Some of their past volunteer work includes

Special Olympics of Wake County, Habitat for Humanity, Service

Raleigh, and the USA South Athletic Conference’s Cans Across the

Conference and Pennies for a Purpose.

2009 SoFTball SEaSon PREvIEw anD 2008 REvIEwThe 2008 Meredith College softball season was an exciting year that

marked a lot of “firsts” in the program’s history. Head Coach Robert

Luckadoo came to Meredith in late January from his assistant coach’s

position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to become

the program’s full-time head coach. Luckadoo took over a softball pro-

gram that had struggled in the previous four seasons, and had not seen

double-digit victories for a season since 2003. The 2008 season also

marked Meredith’s entry into the nationally-renowned and extremely

competitive NCAA Division III USA South Athletic Conference. This is

the first conference membership in the history of the college.

Highlighting the 2008 softball season were many team and individual

statistics that give a glimpse into an extremely bright future for the

Meredith softball program. The team finished the season with 10 wins

overall and four wins in the USA South. This season marked the first

time since 2003 that the program had seen double digit victories

and saw the first USA South conference win in a doubleheader split

with N.C. Wesleyan. Conference wins also included a sweep of Mary

Baldwin College and split with Ferrum College to tally four USA South

victories for the season.

Offensive production, and specifically the team’s new hitting program,

was a key focus upon Luckadoo’s arrival in January 2008. After strug-

gling offensively for the past three seasons, 2008 proved to be one of

Meredith College softball’s best offensive years on record. The 2008

team broke many statistical offensive records including the Meredith

single season record for home runs (24), seven different individuals hit-

ting home runs in a season and finishing the season ranked 40th in the

nation out of 386 teams in home runs per game. Prior to this year, the

team had only hit one homerun in the previous two seasons combined.

Team members continued to leave their marks on the Meredith, USA

South, and NCAA record books as many individual offensive and

defensive records were crushed in 2008. Freshman Arielle Stout led

the charge in rewriting both the offensive and defensive categories.

Offensively, the freshman utility player tied the conference lead in

home runs with nine during the regular season and 11 overall for the

year. Stout finished third in the conference in slugging percentage

(.770) and third in the conference in RBIs (45). She finished the

season ranked 42nd in the nation in homeruns/game, 26th in the

nation in RBIs and 60th in the nation in slugging percentage out of

nearly 6,000 NCAA Division III softball players.

Freshman Becki Roebock led the conference in on base percent-

age and had a team-high batting average of .411. She also had five

doubles and three triples. Amber Littesy, McKenzie Caskey and Beth

Sprinkle provided offensive “pop” at the plate as well, and combined

for 11 home runs, 10 doubles and one triple. The trio also accounted

for 42 of the team’s 138 RBIs for the season. Freshmen Dana Higgins

and Val Sherrer combined for eight doubles, one triple, two home runs

and 21 RBIs during the 2008 campaign.

Defensively, pitcher Arielle Stout led the conference in strikeouts per

game, averaging over 13Ks per game. She also broke the USA South

Conference Record for strikeouts for a single game (which stood at

16) with 17 strikeouts against Lycoming (Pa.) on March 15, 2008.

She recorded seven games with double-digit strikeouts including two

games tying the previous conference record with 16 strikeouts, and

two with 15 strikeouts. Stout was named either rookie of the week or

rookie pitcher of the week three different times during the season.

Both Roebock and Stout were named to USA South All-Conference

teams for their 2008 offensive and defensive performances.

The 2009 Avenging Angels look poised to continue their assault on

the USA South Conference record books, returning six starters from

last season’s squad and adding recruits at several key positions, in-

cluding pitcher and catcher. Taking the circle this year for the Angels

will be freshman standout Jordan Smith. This Fuquay-Varina, N.C. na-

tive is expected to make an immediate positive impact to the team’s

pitching staff, after leading her high school team to the fourth round

of the NCHSAA 4A playoffs in 2008. Returners to the Avenging

Angels pitching staff are sophomores Arielle Stout, Val Sherrer and

Becki Roebock. All three now have a full season of collegiate pitching

experience under their belts and are expected to make significant

contributions in the circle this season.


Completing the battery for the team this year, the Avenging Angels are

expected to start with a new face behind the plate this season. Fresh-

man Patricia Davis is expected to see time both behind the plate and

in the field. Davis brings a tremendous amount of catching experience

to the Angels’ squad as an excellent starting catcher for East Carteret

High School. Davis is sure to also add extra homerun power to the

Angels already strong offensive lineup, after hitting four round trippers

in her senior high school season. Freshman Olivia Izze will see playing

time as a utility player and catcher.

The Angels have great depth and experience in the outfield this season.

Senior Toni Tricarico, three year starter and captain for the team, is

expected to anchor a position in the grass for the team this season.

Tricarico has the experience, leadership abilities and softball skills

to take this young Avenging Angel team the distance in 2009. Coach

Luckadoo knows that strong leadership from the upper classmen and

returners is extremely important at the collegiate level of play.

“With a young team like we will be putting on the field this season,

leadership from our upper classmen will be one of the keys to our suc-

cess in 2009,” said Luckadoo.

New additions to the outfield include Duplin County native, freshmen

Logan Hill, and sophomore Kate Moye from Pamlico County.

Returning to the Avenging Angels’ infield are sophomore short stop Dana

Higgins, sophomore third base Val Sherrer and sophomore first base

Becki Roebock. Sophomore Arielle Stout is expected to see time at sec-

ond base when not in the circle. Freshman recruit Jordan Zachmeyer, a

Raleigh, N.C. native, and true utility player for the Angels this year, will

see time at second and third base as Sherrer and Stout rotate into the

circle in relief. The offensive combination of the sophomore infield of

Roebock, Stout, Sherrer and Higgins last year combined for 20 doubles,

six triples, 13 homeruns and 76 RBIs. The foursome is expected to

continue right where they left off in the upcoming 2009 season.

“I am extremely excited about our team in 2009. We have an out-

standing group of returners from last season and have added talented

recruits at several key positions who will be able to step in and con-

tribute immediately,” said Luckadoo. “This group of student athletes

is the hardest working team that I have ever coached. Their focus,

their commitment and their dedication to our softball team and to this

program’s success is incredible. This group of players exemplifies all

the positive attributes of what being a Meredith College student athlete

is all about. They make me proud to be a part of this program.”

The Avenging Angels open up their 40 game season on February 6,

2009, at home hosting NCAA Division II, Lees-McRae.

abouT RalEIgh, n.C.

Meredith College students have participated in athletic events on

campus for more than 100 years. Athletics at Meredith College began

in 1904 with the advent of Meredith’s Athletic Association. In addition

to sponsoring other student activities around campus, the athletic

association began to sponsor sports in 1937. The original sports

at Meredith included basketball and tennis. Meredith’s basketball

program began with two teams, the Reds and the Blues. The first

competitive games against other schools were held in 1904 with two

games against St. Mary’s College.

In the early years, Meredith athletic activities included swimming,

soccer, horseback riding, tennis, baseball, basketball, golf, football and

field hockey. The first events were primarily inter-class competitions.

In November 1937, Meredith

aligned with the Virginia Field

Hockey Association and

became a part of the United

States Conference.

The 1940s and 1950s

brought some big victories

for the basketball team. In

1944, Meredith’s freshman-

sophomore basketball team hosted the Peace Junior

College (now Peace College) team. The outcome was a victory for

Meredith, and the game marked the beginning of the heated cross-

town rivalry between the two Raleigh women’s colleges. In 1952, the

basketball team pulled out impressive victories against the University

of North Carolina and Duke. The field hockey team continued this

trend in 1952 by defeating both the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils.

Meredith athletics took on a new life with the completion of

Weatherspoon Gymnasium in 1970. Weatherspoon is still the home

of the basketball and volleyball teams, training facilities and athletics

offices. The first full-semester golf team was launched in 1976.

The volleyball and tennis teams saw their first winning seasons

during the 1970s.

Riding the wave of momentum built in the 1970s, Meredith athletics

earned state and conference titles in the 1980s. In 1980, the golf

team won the NCAIAW state championship while the tennis team

took the conference title. Also in that year, the Student Government

Association adopted the angel

as the school’s official mascot.

The golf team finished second

in the AIAW Division III national

tournament in 1981, making

it the first bid for a Meredith

athletics team to compete for a

national championship. Softball

was added as a varsity sport during

the 1985-86 academic year. The most recent varsity sports to be added

were soccer in 1993 and cross country in 2005.

In recent years at Meredith, there has been an increase in the

competitiveness of the athletics programs on a regional and national

level in Division III. The program has had five NCAA tournament

bids across three different sports since 2001 (basketball 2001,

2003; tennis 2003, 2007; and soccer 2007). During the summer

of 2007 the name of the sports teams was changed to

“Avenging Angels” to emphasize the prowess of

Meredith athletes. The 2007-08 season marked

the first year of competition in the USA South

Athletic Conference.

Meredith is committed to blending

intercollegiate athletics with a strong academic

program. Student-athletes follow the same

academic requirements and standards as other

students; they must maintain good academic

standing with the College, be full-time

students and follow the rules of the NCAA.

The athletic program maintains the same high

standards set for other departments and the same

commitment to the education and personal development

of student-athletes.

MEREdith COllEgE AthlEtiCS hiStORy thE diViSiON iii EXPERiENCE Meredith athletics teams

participate in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic

Association. Meredith College fully supports the Division III

experience that allows the student athlete to enjoy competitive

sports and other activities throughout their college years. Division

III athletics offers student-athletes the opportunity to become

well-rounded individuals who successfully integrate athletics and

academics while experiencing all aspects of college life. Division III

athletics feature athletes who can receive only academic financial

assistance and athletics departments that are staffed and funded

like any other department in the College.

ACAdEMiCS Meredith College’s commitment to academics

is exemplified by its athletics teams. Each year, the USA South

Athletic Conference recognizes its student-athletes’ hard work in the

classroom by naming an Academic All-Conference team. A student-

athlete must have earned a 3.0 GPA in each of the two semesters

of a given year to be eligible. The athletics department also offers

a special Athletics Director’s List that recognizes the athletes that

receive a 3.5 each of the two semesters. During the 2007-08 season,

48.7% of Meredith’s student athletes finished with a 3.0 or higher

and 20% received the Athletics Director’s award with a 3.5 or higher.

MEdiCAl SERViCES In addition to the academic and fitness

programs available, the athletic training staff provides excellent

care for participants. The athletic training support staff consists of

head athletic trainer, Sharon Malley, student athletic trainers from

the University of North Carolina and on-call physicians. Some of the

services and equipment provided in the Weatherspoon Gymnasium

include a whirlpool, hydrocollator, ultrasound, injury ice and

electrical stimulation. Meredith College serves as a clinical site for

the UNC-Chapel Hill Undergraduate Athletic Training Program.

StRENgth ANd CONditiONiNg The program is headed

by Meredith’s Strength and Conditioning Coach David Zinn who

is a certified personal trainer and sports conditioning specialist.

An instructor in the Department of Health, Exercise & Sports

Sciences at Meredith, Coach Zinn assists in the development and

implementation of conditioning and weight training programs for all

of Meredith sports.

COMMUNity SERViCE The student athletes at Meredith

College are committed to much more than sports. Members from

each team are elected to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee

that organizes support for each sport and also coordinates

community service. Some of their past volunteer work includes

Special Olympics of Wake County, Habitat for Humanity, Service

Raleigh, and the USA South Athletic Conference’s Cans Across the

Conference and Pennies for a Purpose.
