Message from the

Director of Athletics:

Dr. Brad Teague

Dear Athletics Friends, There are plenty of exciting sports and proj-ects on-going at UCA.

We have recently completed a major reno-vation to the baseball fi eld. New synthetic turf, stone walls and a family area have been completed to provide our program a needed facelift for better recruiting and a more fan-friendly environment.

The Farris Center is much changed for the better. The new video scoreboard will be in-stalled in early November with our fi rst game on November 12 vs. Hendrix. Softball renova-tions will occur soon with new grandstands.

The Prince Center and Volleyball operations continue to improve. The soccer programs and track and fi eld continue to enjoy their new fa-cility. These changes are exciting for everyone involved. Quality facilities make the diff er-ence in good programs and great programs.

We want to continue to be great and be well known as a quality Division I program. None of this could be possible without the support of all of our alumni, donors, fans, and friends. Thank you and go Bears and Sugar Bears.Brad

Note

With a third of their regular season still to play, 2010 has al-ready been another season of superlatives for the Sugar Bears volleyball program.

After starting out just 6-6 with losses to LSU, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Missouri, Western Kentucky and Wyoming the Sugar Bears have rebounded nicely – winning their last 11 matches.

In doing so, the Sugar Bears have now won 29 straight South-land Conference matches –tying them with Hawaii for the longest active in-conference winning streak in the nation.

The Sugar Bears also swept a 9-match home stand, extending their winning streak inside the Prince Center to 25 matches. UCA has not lost at home or in league play since Oct. 25, 2008 when the Sugar Bears fell in fi ve sets to UTSA.

During the recent home stand the Sugar Bears scored their fi rst-ever win against Memphis, then later followed it up on the road with the program’s fi rst win at UT Arlington. Earlier in the season, the Sugar Bears went to TCU and defeated the Horned Frogs – an NCAA Tournament team a year ago.

With 10 matches to play –including three at home (Oct. 23 - Texas State; Nov. 4 - Lamar; Nov. 6 - McNeese State) – the Sugar Bears are 92-25 (.786) overall and 45-10 (.818) in South-land play since the start of the 2007 season. During that span, they are an incredible 43-5 (.896) inside the Prince Center.
