2011 SEASON PREVIEWAfter one of the most memorable season’s in program history, eighth-year head coach Craig Gibson believes he has the necessary elements to earn a second consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament.

“That run we had in May and early June last season was really remarkable and it feels like it just hasn’t stopped because it carried over into summer baseball and it has helped our guys to really work and get better daily going into this season,” said Gibson. “Its had a huge carryover eff ect and has created a lot of expectations for the 2011 season, but we are happy to have expectations and hopefully we will meet and bypass those expectations.”

The Bears are using all the success they experienced last season as motivation going into 2011. After fi nally breaking through for their fi rst NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, Coach Gibson and the rest of his squad knows they belong on the national stage and that their talent is as good as anyone else’s in the country.

“I think we do have the talent to get back to the NCAA’s and I feel like we do belong there again this season, ” said Gibson. “Going around the fi eld from position to position I feel like our returning guys, even though we brought in many talented newcomers, are going to be the strength of our team. The returning guys have gotten so much better and I don’t think they want to just get there, I think they want to take that next step and stay in Regionals and advance to a Super Regional.”

With 18 letterwinners returning from last year’s championship squad, including six position players and all three weekend starters, the pieces are in place for Mercer to make another run at an Atlantic Sun title.

PITCHERS

With 95 percent of the team’s wins (36-of-38) from last season back in the fold, the Mercer pitching staff looks primed to build upon the strides it made in 2010. A good place to start when evaluating a pitching staff is weekend personnel and the Bears are returning all three of its weekend arms. Sophomore Matt McCall, junior Brandon Love and senior Justice French are pencilled in as the Bears top three starters heading into 2011.

McCall, a 2011 Preseason All-Atlantic Sun team selection, had a brilliant freshman season in the Orange and Black, compiling a 7-2 record, a 4.79 ERA and a team-high 73.1 innings pitched while establishing himself as the ace of the staff . Love showed he has the skills to be a front line starter for the Bears after posting team-highs in wins (8) and strikeouts (66) during his sophomore campaign.

French came on late last season as a bona fi de number three starter for Coach Gibson, earning starts in the A-Sun Championship game against Jacksonville and in the NCAA Tournament against Alabama.

The mid-week starting rotation is more up in the air, with many formidable options ready to step in and assume the role. Junior David Randall and senior Russell Moses along with newcomers Brandon Barker and Bronson Gagner will all be in the running for the positions. Randall has the best credentials out of the group, after going 5-4 with a 6.22 ERA in 10 starts last season. Moses logged two mid-week starts last season, including a gusty performance against then No. 3 ranked Georgia Tech. Barker, a freshman right-hander from Woodstock, Ga., and Gagner, a transfer from Chattahoochee Valley Community College, both played well in the fall and look to carry their performances over into the spring.

Usually a problem area for most teams, the Mercer bullpen was without question the strength of the Bears pitching staff last season. Five relievers from last year’s core group return for 2011, including seniors J.T. Odom and Chris Newell, juniors Jacob Matthews and Colby Collins and sophomore David Teasley.

Odom will once again serve as the primary closer for the Bears after fi nishing last season with a 2-2 record, fi ve saves a 3.38 ERA and a sparkling .171 batting average against in 42.2 innings pitched. Newell is a wild card for Coach Gibson after showing ability as a starter

2011 SEASON PREVIEW CONT’D(two starts) or a reliever (12 appearances, two saves) in 2010.

Teasley broke onto the scene his fi rst year in Macon as a fi ery sidearm thrower who logged an incredible 43 appearances out of the bullpen on his way to a 6-1 record and fi ve saves. Matthews came on late last season as a reliable middle reliever for Coach Gibson, posting a team-low 2.92 ERA on the strength of 24.2 innings pitched.

Collins appeared in four games last season and junior Tyler Beesley also returns from a medical redshirt ready to contribute.

CATCHERS

With the departure of last year’s starter Nick DiMauro, catcher is one of the few positions with some uncertainty surrounding it for the Bears going into 2011. Four candidates appear ready to take the reins including junior Jason Butts, sophomore Travis Benn and freshman Austin Barrett and Hunter Stiles.

Butts appeared in 19 games in 2010 off the bench and looks like the frontrunner in the competition after fully recovering from shoulder problems that have plagued him over the past couple seasons. Benn had a great freshman campaign with the bat last season, clubbing nine home runs and collecting 26 RBI in just 71 at-bats.

Barrett has very much improved according to the coaching staff after being redshirted as a true freshman last season. Stiles, a true freshman from Athens, Ga., will also look to get in the mix behind the plate for Coach Gibson in 2011.

INFIELDERS

The Mercer infi eld will be without question the heart and sole of this year’s squad after returning three-fourths of one of the most productive infi eld units in the country in 2011.

Junior third baseman Jacob Tanis emerged as one of the most dynamic hitters in the country last season, practically rewriting the Mercer record books in the process. The Peachtree City, Ga. native hit .388 with team-highs in home runs (22), RBI (88), slugging percentage (.735), hits (104), doubles (25) and total bases (197). For all his success in 2010 Tanis has received considerable preseason recognition going into 2011 after being named a Preseason Third Team All-American by four publications including the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), Louisville Slugger, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and College Baseball Lineup.

Senior fi rst baseman John Moreland teamed with his fellow corner infi elder to form Mercer’s own version of the Bash Brothers. Moreland clubbed 21 home runs last season, making him and Tanis one of only three teammate tandems in the country who had 20 home runs apiece.

Sophomore shortstop Evan Boyd had a solid freshman season after earning the starting job in camp. The slick fi elding Albany, Ga. product hit .312 with 14 doubles and 48 runs scored on his way to being named a 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team member.

With the departure of senior Michael Langley, Coach Gibson is looking for highly touted freshman DJ Johnson to take over at second base in 2011. Johnson, an Adel, Ga. native, decided to come to Mercer despite being drafted in the 21st round of the 2010 MLB Draft

Freshman Nate Moorhouse and junior college transfers Blaine Matthews and Matthew Black will look to add depth at all four infi eld positions.

OUTFIELDERS

The Bears entire starting outfi eld over the past two seasons remains intact heading into 2011 having combining for 346 career starts between them.

Senior Thomas Carroll returns to right fi eld where he started 62 out of a possible 62 games last season and led all Bears outfi elder with fi ve assists.

Junior Billy Burns had a breakout sophomore campaign from his center fi eld position, hitting .381 with 73 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. Burns turned it on during the Orange and Black’s postseason run, earning 2010 A-Sun All-Tournament team and 2010 NCAA Atlanta Regional All-Tournament team selections.

Senior Joe Winker returned to his freshman All-American form last season, setting new career-highs with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 49 RBI.

Freshman Derrick Workman from Acworth, Ga. and Daniel Cardwell from Roswell, Ga. will also look to get in the rotation.

With a philosophy based on the concepts of striving for excellence in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the fi eld, eighth-year head coach Craig Gibson has led the Mercer baseball program to great success during his tenure.

Since taking over for long-time skipper Barry Myers in 2004, Gibson has guided the Bears from the depths of the A-Sun Conference to one of the most respected programs in the southeast. With a career 200-192 record, Gibson once again has the Bears poised for success on the national stage in 2011 thanks to his prowess in player development and recruiting.

After a steady climb during the fi rst six seasons of his tenure, Gibson’s eff orts fi nally came to fruition in 2010 as he has guided the Bears to a 38-win season and the program’s fi rst-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite the preseason doubters, the 2010 season proved to be the most storied of the program’s 62-year history. Predicted to fi nish tied for sixth in the A-Sun Baseball Preseason Poll, Gibson guided Mercer to a 38-24 overall record and a 16-11 mark in conference play. The 38 wins were the second-most in program history while Mercer’s 16 conference victories were the most since a 19-11 A-Sun mark in 1999.

Gibson, who garnered 2010 Georgia Dugout Club Division I Coach of the Year and 2010 SoutheasternBaseball.com Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors, directed the Orange and Black to their fourth Atlantic Sun Championship in program history and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. The Bears didn’t stop there, however, as they defeated No. 3 seed Elon for their fi rst-ever NCAA Tournament victory and took eventual Atlanta Regional champion Alabama down to the wire in a 5-3 defeat.

Along the way, the 2010 Bears set numerous team records, including batting average (.340), runs per game (8.9) and hits (770). Gibson also tutored Consensus All-American Jacob Tanis and a total of four All A-Sun performers. 15 Bears earned A-Sun All-Academic honors in 2010, while sophomore Billy Burns garnered a CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District second team selection.

After a nine and eight-game improvement in 2004 and 2005, Gibson’s fi rst two years as head coach, the Bears 2006 season is the year that began the programs turnaround. Mercer catapulted from cellar-dweller to among the conference elite, fi nishing the season in third place in the standings at 34-26 overall and 19-11 in A-Sun play. The 2006 campaign produced the fi rst 30-win season for Mercer since 1999, tied the school record for most A-Sun wins in school history and ended a seven-year postseason drought at the same time.

Gibson and the Bears didn’t waste time dwelling on the success of the 2006 season. The program continued its momentum the next year, winning 33 games and fi nishing second in the A-Sun regular season standings in 2007. Despite a nine-game drop off in 2008, the Bears still managed 17 wins in conference play, helping them earn a third consecutive No. 2 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. The 2009 edition of the Bears fi nished with a 23-23 record and secured the programs fourth-straight A-Sun Tournament appearance.

While riding the recent wave of success, the Bears have captured a number of program-defi ning victories over some of the nation’s elite. Mercer secured road wins at then No. 20 ranked UCF in 2004 and toppled No. 22 College of Charleston in 2005. In 2006, Mercer knocked off a pair of elite squads beating then No. 1 ranked Florida and No. 1 ranked Clemson in back-to-back weeks. The next year brought more of the same, as the men from Macon swept a two-game series from No. 2 ranked Miami, Fla. in Coral Gables to start the 2007 season. The Bears took down another SEC giant in 2009 when it defeated #6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic.

Just as the Bears have excelled as a team under Gibson, there has been no shortage of individual achievements. Since 2006, six Bears earned A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team selections, with a total of 16 All-Conference honors given to players under Gibson’s watch. Two of those selections, 2006 closer Andrew Urena and 2010 third baseman Jacob Tanis earned consensus All-American honors from several publications.

A total of 10 players under Gibson’s tutelage have been drafted since the 2006 season. Urena (11th round, Chicago White Sox) and teammate Brantley New (27th round, Boston Red Sox) went in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. Reliever Cory Gearrin (4th round, Atlanta Braves) and catcher Josh Thompson (32nd round, Florida Marlins) were selected in the 2007 Draft. Outfi elders Billy Burns (16th round, Atlanta Braves) and Matthew Crawford (23rd round, Anaheim Angels) along with pitcher Lath Guyer (48th round, Tampa Bay Rays) each had their names chosen in June of 2008. Starter Dan April (39th round, Tampa Bay Rays) was the Bears lone draftee in 2009, while third baseman Jacob Tanis (26th round, Colorado Rockies) and second baseman DJ Johnson (21st round, New York Mets) were taken in the 2010 Draft.

While his dedication on the fi eld is without question, it’s Gibson’s ability to push his players in the classroom that separates him from the rest. Mercer’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) has steadily improved under Gibson, now refl ecting an outstanding four-year average of 974.

Gibson started his career at Mercer as a player. In his junior year of 1985, the hard-hitting fi rst baseman earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors, while leading the Bears to an Atlantic Sun Championship. Gibson is one of only three Bears to earn A-Sun Player of the Year honors and the last Mercer player to claim the distinction. He still ranks in the Mercer single-season Top-10 in multiple statistical categories including batting average (T-8th), doubles (T-6th), home runs (8th), RBI (8th) and total bases (7th).

Following his playing career, Gibson served as a graduate assistant coach on Myers’ Mercer staff for two years. He then took over as the head baseball coach at Jupiter Community High School in Jupiter, Fla. for two years before moving over to Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach, Fla., for one season. Gibson wrapped up his high school coaching career in 1993 as the head coach at Palm Beach Gardens High School in Palm Beach, Fla.

In August 1993, Gibson got the call to come home and serve as a full-time assistant under Myers. With his strong ties to Mercer and a wealth of coaching experience, it made former Athletics Director Bobby Pope’s choice an easy one when he elevated Gibson to the head job following Myers resignation.

On top of his victories on the fi eld, Gibson was a winner in the classroom, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and health, physical education and recreation in 1986, and a master’s of education in social science from Mercer in 1988.

A native of Macon, Ga., Gibson and his wife Diane have two children, Lindsey (20) and Tyler (17).

ASSISTANT COACH BRENT SHADE

THIRD YEAR AT MERCERDEFIANCE, 2001

Dedication and passion are two words that can be used to describe Brent Shade, who is entering his third season mentoring Mercer’s pitching staff and his second as the Bears’ recruiting coordinator.

Shade, who spent the previous four years in a similar duel role at Furman, joined Mercer’s staff for his fi rst season in 2009.

Under his guidance, the Orange and Black’s pitching staff has grown by leaps and bounds in his fi rst two years. The quality of player signing with Mercer has also greatly improved, with his recruiting classes ranking among the best in the competitive southeast region.

In 2010, Shade managed one of the best pitching staff s in the conference, utilizing a young but talented group of hurlers. The Bears posted a team 5.76 ERA in 2010, ranking third in the conference and 124th in the nation. The 5.76 ERA was the lowest mark posted by the Orange and Black since the 2007 season. Using Shade’s aggressive approach on the mound, Mercer ranked in the Top-100 nationally in three more statistical categories including 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings (99th), 10.4 hits allowed per nine innings (99th) and just 3.4 walks allowed per nine innings (79th).

The Bears improved pitching was never more evident than in the 2010 Atlantic Sun Tournament. Mercer pitching allowed just 12 runs throughout the entire tournament, the fewest by a champion since FAU allowed only 11 runs in four contests in 2004. Individually, two of Shade’s recruits in freshman David Teasley and Matt McCall were rewarded for their individual accomplishments by being named to the 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team.

Shade’s fi rst season at Mercer was marked with progress both on and off the fi eld. Under Shade’s guidance, the Mercer pitching staff fi nished seventh in the Atlantic Sun with a team ERA of 6.39. Shade also came through big time off the fi eld, bringing in a stellar 2010 recruiting class that should help keep Mercer among the A-Sun’s elite for years to come. Shade also produced his fi rst draftee at Mercer when senior starter Dan April was taken in the 39th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Before coming to Macon, Shade helped guide the Paladins to school-record 33 wins in 2008 as Furman fi nished third in the regular season in the competitive Southern Conference. During the Toledo, Ohio, native’s tenure in Greenville, S.C., the Paladins topped the 30-win plateau three times – which has only happened a total of fi ve times in school history.

Under Shade’s leadership in 2008, the Furman pitching staff issued the fewest number of walks in the SoCon for the fi fth consecutive season. Two hurlers from that team are currently in the minor leagues as junior right-hander Jay Jackson was selected in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs while senior right-hander Mason Smith graduated and signed a free agent contract with Washington Nationals.

As pitching coach, Shade played an integral part in Furman’s 2005 SoCon Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament campaign that included victories over nationally 18th-ranked College World Series participant Tennessee, and a pair of victories over South Carolina for the program’s fi rst regular-season sweep of the Gamecocks since 1953.

Furman, recorded the SoCon’s third-best ERA (4.45), matched a then-school record with 32 wins and fi nished third in the regular conference standings.

In 2007, another Shade student, right-hander Matt Klinker, headlined Furman’s pitching staff and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 15th round of the Major League Draft.

Prior to arriving at Furman in 2005, Shade served as pitching coach at Heidelberg (Ohio) College for two seasons, helping the Student Princes to a 64-26 record, including a 2003 Ohio Athletic Conference regular- season crown and 2004 OAC Tournament title. The 2004 squad also made the school’s fi rst-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

“Brent will not only add to our program on the fi eld but he also has a fi rm grasp of our academic environment,” added Gibson. “He understands the academic profi le of our student-athletes and the importance we place on that area. We are certainly excited about the future of our pitching staff in Brent’s hands.”

Shade played at Missouri Valley College and lettered three seasons as a starting pitcher. He transferred to Defi ance (Ohio) College, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management. He was awarded an MBA from Heidelberg in 2004.

What distinguishes a good university from a great universityextends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus.The competence and character of an institution’s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured.

As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation.

Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercer’s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challengesof reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of promi-nent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfi eld, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers pro-grams in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educa-tional, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of

the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princ-eton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior fac-ulty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefi t from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America.

The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Phar-macy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics,

the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist Col-lege of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins.

Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

Page 84: 2011 Mercer Baseball Media Guide

The benefi ts of campus living are numerous - the development of life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhanc-ing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the fi rst time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family.

All freshman and sophomores (fi rst-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercer’s residence halls, safety comes fi rst and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identifi cation cards to gain ac-cess into their residence hall.

Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the gracious-ness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do.

The University off ers a wealth of fascinating experi-ences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to perform-ing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organiza-tions to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

Macon, Georgia is the host of the annual International Cherry Blossom Fes-tival, a 10-day event commemorating the beautiful Yoshino cherry trees that bring color to the Macon landscape each spring. Macon boasts more Yoshino cherry trees than even Washington, D.C. The annual festival features special performances and activities and draws thousands of people from literally all over the world. Through the revitalization of Macon’s historic downtown area, local business owners host events like Taste of Downtown, where downtown food vendors - from gourmet to down-home cooking - display their specialties and First Friday, where businesses unite to bring suburban residents into downtown for a night of fun, food and entertainment. The Georgia Music Hall of Fame is home to memorabilia and informa-tion on all the recording art-ists from Georgia, including R.E.M., the Black Crowes, James Brown, Otis Redding,

Macon, Ga. is also home to Mercer’s Law School. The Walter F. George

School of Law, founded in 1873, is one of the oldest law schools in the

country. Named for Walter F. George, a 1901 graduate of Mercer’s law school who went on to become a justice of the Georgia State Su-

Claude Smith Field is the offi cial home fi eld of the Mercer baseball team. With a capacity of just over 500, the stadium received a facelift in the fall of 2003, transform-ing the fi eld into one of the fi nest playing surfaces in the Southeast. The renovation included a new drainage system, a new laser-leveled fi eld as well as an indoor batting cage. The baseball team also moved into a new locker room in the Univer-sity Center in 2004.

UNIVERSITY CENTERMercer broke ground on the centerpiece of the Macon campus in the fall of 2001. The

University Center has become one of the premier venues in the nation for college bas-ketball and volleyball. The $40 million facility has become the focal point for almost all

campus activities, providing students with an area for study, a food court, and a coff ee shop.

The “Street” is a tree-lined, sunlit indoor patio, providing students with an area to study, so-cialize, and dine on cuisine from the food court, including Chic Fil-A, Subway, Burger Studio, and Sushi Hot Bowls. Bear Rock Cafe is a coff ee shop and internet café for students to use either with high-speed connections throughout the fl oor area with the wireless internet connections, or with Bear Rock’s computers. Students can also relax and watch either of two fl at screen televisions, or relax outside on the Patio overlooking the Greek Village and campus.

Both students and athletes have state of the art fi tness facilities, with weight train-ing equipment and cardiovascular theater, as well as a 1/8 mile indoor track. The track overlooks the lower level, which has three full-size basketball and volleyball courts for intramural and recreation use.

Another distinguishing feature of the University Center is the 25-meter indoor swim-ming pool for use by both students and teams for lap swim and water strength and speed drills. Athletes have a separate weight room for use during team workouts with

WILLIAM D. UNDERWOODPresident Underwood has led Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and development for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th President in 2006, enrollment has increased by ap-proximately 15 percent to more than 8,000 students. Mercer has launched a second medical school campus (in Savannah), initiated a master’s-level physician assistant program, announced a doctoral-level program in physical therapy that will begin in 2010, and added Ph.D. programs in Educational

Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing.

Refl ecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer will meet the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassifi cation as a research-doctoral university during the 2009-10 academic year. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approx-imately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expenditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scien-tists have for the fi rst time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mercer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance.

The University has intensifi ed its longstanding commitment to service-learning and community engagement under President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to support continued revitaliza-

tion of the College Hill Corridor between campus and down-town Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mission pro-gram, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an exemplary approach to addressing a specifi c global challenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Georgia to receive the Carnegie Foundation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.”

Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the prestigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation.

President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree summa cum laude by the University of Illinois College of Law in 1985, where he graduated as class salutatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following graduation, he

clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law fi rm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William.

The Mercer Athletics Foundation was created in 2007 as the fund-raising arm for Mercer University Athletics. Since its inception, members of the foundation have contributed over $1.5 million. These funds have been used to undertake such projects as hiring a full-time strength and conditioning coach, enhancing recruiting budgets, providing additional scholarships and to help increase salaries to attract and retain outstanding coaches.

Mission Statement:

2010-11 MAF PresidentJohn W. Collier John graduated from Mercer University in 1966 where he played baseball and was captain his senior year. He received his J.D. in 1971 from the Walter F. George School of Law, Mercer University, where he served on Law Review, and is a member of the Georgia and Florida Bar. He is a past member of Mercer Board of Trustees. John has more than 15 years of experience providing wealth management services and over 25 years of experience in the practice of law. After serving as an institutional consultant at Smith Barney, John joined Merrill Lynch in 2007. He is currently an Institutional Money Manager at Merrill Lynch.

Message from the MAF President:“It’s a great time to ‘Be the Bear’ as a part of the Mercer University athletics family! There are many exciting things currently going on in Bears Athletics...with even more on the horizon!

The experiences I gained as a Mercer student and athlete have proven invaluable in both my personal and professional life. Mercer off ers its students an education - both on and off the fi eld - that is as functional as it is respect-ed in today’s world. A Mercer degree tells people that you have been a part of some-thing special.

The Mercer Athletic Foundation’s goal is to enhance and grow the ‘athletic experience’ for the student-athletes who follow in the footsteps of those who, like myself, were fortunate enough to represent the Orange & Black in intercollegiate athletics com-petition. Your gifts and contributions to the MAF are what make it possible for this to happen, so please consider how you can ‘Be the Bear’ today!”

Strength and ConditioningThe strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to

maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this

is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive

exercises. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise

styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the

movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport.

Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant

coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to

assist Mercer’s approximately 226 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through

strength training and conditioning.

Easily accessible from anywhere in the University Center, the equipment includes the following:

• three top of the line power lift full racks

• over 3,000 pounds of plates • a line of variable resistant machines

• three sets of Iron Grip dumbbells • fi ve free standing adjustable benches

Sports Medicine DepartmentThe Mission of the Sports Medicine Department is to provide quality comprehensive healthcare to student-athletes. The health and well-being of student-athletes is the number one priority. Student-athletes have access to therapeutic services such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, rehabilitation, nutritional counseling and preventative physical medicine.

The Mercer Sports Medicine department utilizes a state-of-the-art athletic training facility in the university center. The athletic training room consists of a treatment, taping and rehabilitation area. The rehabilitation area is equipped with a treadmill, exercise bikes in addition to a variety of weights, resistance bands, medicine balls, and other rehabilitation equipment which can be used to facilitate injury rehabilitations.

The athletic training area also has an enclosed hydrotherapy room with an eight-person cold whirlpool and smaller extremity whirlpools. There are also offi ces for the staff and a physician exam room. The athletic training room also has easy access to the weight room and the University Center pool.

The facility is staff ed by two full-time certifi ed athletic trainers and six graduate assistant certifi ed athletic trainers, a family practice physician and an orthopedic surgeon. The staff works with other group of health-care providers to bring a comprehensive care to the student-athletes and acts as a liaison with nutritionists, dentist, cardiologists, and many other specialists.

BUILDINGContinuing a tradition of academic achievement, a record 60 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status during the 2009-10 academic year. Lipscomb edged out Belmont, the seven-time winner of the All-Academic Trophy, to win its fi rst such trophy with close to 72 percent of its the student-athletes achieving All-Academic status with grade point averages of a 3.00, or better.

Several Bisons teams received national recognition for their success in the classroom. Both the men’s and women’s track & fi eld teams posted team GPAs among the top fi ve in the nation - the only school in the country to boast that distinction. Jacksonville’s women’s track team received their ninth straight USTFCCCA All-Academic honor. Lipscomb’s women’s basketball team posted the ninth best GPA in the country and the conference champion volleyball team led fi ve A-Sun schools in receiving an AVCA Team Academic Award. The Stetson men’s tennis team led the nation with nine student-athletes earning the honor of Scholar Athlete from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. A total of fi ve A-Sun schools and 24 student-athletes received recogntion from the ITA. Stetson and Belmont joined only 16 other Division I schools considered an All-Academic squad in both men’s and women’s tennis.

For the fi rst time the NCAA released single-year APR for Division I head coaches in six sports dating back to 2003-04, the beginning of the program. All 11 A-Sun schools produced a coach who had a year of a perfect score of 1000 and the league produced a total of 25 seasons with scores of 1000. Seven of the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball recorded at least one score of 1000 and fi ve teams had a score of 1000 in 2008-09, the most recent year recorded by the NCAA.

WINNERSFour A-Sun teams received Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association All-Sports Trophies in recognition of their performances in NCAA postseason play. Lipscomb’s softball team, ETSU’s men’s tennis squad plus UNF’s men’s golf team and women’s tennis carried the conference to the third-highest total by any one conference.

Golf continued to boom in the conference as three league members on the women’s side advanced to NCAA play for the fi rst time in conference play. Women’s golf became the fi rst sport in the conference to produce three NCAA participants since baseball in 2003. At the NCAA Regionals, ETSU’s Nina Muehl opened with an 8-under 64, the single lowest round carded in all of Division I golf and became just the second golfer from the A-Sun to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships

The Ospreys’ men’s golf team spent the year ranked among the top programs in the country alongside ETSU. Both advanced to NCAA postseason play and the Ospreys made the nationals for the fi rst time as a conference member. Sophomore Sean Dale earned All-America honors and qualifi ed for the US Amateur, as did his teammates Kevin Alywin and Kevin Phelan. Phelan opened his summer by qualifying for the US Open at Pebble Beach. ETSU’s Rhys Enoch tied for the individual title at the NCAA East Regional and his play carried into summer as he made his second Palmer Cup team and advanced all the way to the quarterfi nals of the British Amateur.

Individual performances stood out on the diamond as FGCU’s Chris Sale became a consensus All-America en route to becoming the conference’s fourth fi rst-round pick in the last two years. ETSU’s Paul Hoilman contended for the national triple crown and burst onto the national scene by winning the fi rst-ever home run derby competition - contested at historic Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. Mercer’s Jacob Tanis fi nished one RBI shy of the national lead in pacing the Bears back to the top of the A-Sun for the fi rst time in more than 25 years.

In softball, two hurlers established themselves among the best in the nation. Lipscomb’s Whitney Kiihnl and USC Upstate’s Morgan Childers each topped the 30-win mark - a fi rst for the conference. The two traded the national lead in ERA throughout the season and when the year came to a close, Kiihnl fi nished with the best mark in the nation with Childers taking a close second. Kiihnl and Childers ranked second and third in the country in fewest hits allowed per seven innings.

For the fi rst time in league history, the conference’s last remaining charter member, Mercer, hosted the General Shale Brick Basketball Championships. The hosts advanced to the fi nal of the men’s event setting up a standing-room-only event at the University Center against ETSU. In the end the Buccaneers won back-to-back titles. Jacksonville advanced to the NIT for the straight second year and provided the league’s fi rst win in the event since 1996 when Ben Smith connected on a game-winning 3-pointer in the fi nal seconds to stun top-seeded Arizona State.

On the women’s side ETSU became the third A-Sun school to win three straight titles, FGCU advanced to the WNIT for a third consecutive year and USC Upstate registered its fi rst 20-win season as a Division I program.

FOR LIFEAlums from the Atlantic Sun, both recent and historic continued to excel at the highest levels. Within the span of three days, FGCU produced its fi rst two major league baseball players. Two pitchers of the Eagles’ 2008 A-Sun Championship squad, Casey Coleman and Sale, took their talents to Chicago as Coleman broke in with the Cubs and Sale soared through the White Sox system after spending less than two months in the minors. In late June, former Stetson All-American Chris Johnson returned to the Astros lineup and hit over .380 his fi rst two months as a regular.
