Longwood University be-came the 12th memberof the Big South Confer-ence on July 1, 2012.Since its founding in1983, the Big South Con-ference has maturedinto a competitiveleader in college athlet-ics, actively pursuing ex-cellence on the field of

play and in the classroom.The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic con-ference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage,innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased televisionpackages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally foster-ing the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership develop-ment of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’smission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The 2012-13 ac-ademic year features the Big South’s largest membership (12) andsponsored sports (19) in its 29 years of existence.

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, whenCharleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director HowardBagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruit-ing members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments fromAugusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina andWinthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selectedas the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit newmembers. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Rad-ford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the requiredsix members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’sfirst year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Divi-sion I status.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experiencedmonumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During thistime, the Conference has had an individual National Champion sixtimes, has had more than 280 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has receivednational Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball,women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’sgolf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Champi-onship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to thenational finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, hadthe nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive yearsas well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, receivedan at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finishin the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including theConference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in2007).

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, withLiberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship runfrom 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’sfirst 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have beenduplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Con-ference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s PresidentialHonor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, andthe League has had more than 100 Academic All-Americans in its 28years of existence. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded doublefigure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progressthe last three years.

Longwood Softball

The upcoming season marks the beginning of a new era forLongwood's historically successful softball program. Long-wood, the newest member of the Big South Conference, willplay in 2013 as part of a league for the first time since movingto Division I back in 2007-08.

“We are looking forward to the new season because it's ourfirst chance to play in a conference in a long time,” said 16th-year head coach Kathy Riley. “It will be a new experience forus in some ways, but exciting as well. Getting to play teams [inthe Big South], building those rivalries and having those stand-ings that say 'this is how you're doing' is going to be a positivefor our players and help us in that motivational sense all theway through the season.”

what's new this SeasonIn the upcoming season, the Longwood program will experi-ence a different style of play thanks to the conference sched-ule. Coach Riley explained that the squad will have to adjust tobe successful this year.

“There are some things that we're not used to heading intothis season,” commented Riley. “We haven't prepared for thefact that everybody is going to give us their best game likethey will in a conference situation. We haven't played three-game series, either. Scouting is going to be a lot different toobecause the scouting report in a conference becomes waymore important. You'reactually filming playersin a conference, whichwe haven't done.These things will allchange for us, but weare looking forward tothem more than any-thing else.”

game PlanThis season, Long-wood will look to asmall class of seniorveterans to lay thefoundation for a pri-marily young squad. Assuch, the Lancers'strategy in 2013 will in-volve the maturing ofall players.

“In regards to theteam, we are kind of amixed bag in that wewill have two seniors that will play a lot, we have a lot of soph-omores starting and we have a couple freshmen starting,” ex-plained Riley. “How we do is going to depend a lot onimprovement towards of the end of the year. We are prettyyoung in the sense of starters, but as we get to the end of theyear and they are really juniors and sophomores, that’s whenwe will play our best softball. That's the way we are going toapproach the 2013 season.

“It starts on the mound with the maturity of our pitchers. Howthey handle getting better and giving us an opportunity to nothave to play catch up will be key. Last year, we gave up toomany runs, so this year we are going to have to change thatand give up just one or two runs. If we do that, then I think wewill have a chance to be successful because the top of ourlineup is pretty strong.

And with maturity, comes leadership. Another key factor theLancers will need to focus on in order to thrive this year.“If you said what is one other thing that we are going to have

to do to play well by theend of the year, the mainarea of concern for us isleadership,” added Riley.“For us right now as acoaching staff, we are re-ally conscious about get-ting certain people tomake the right decisionsand hoping that they willmature into leadershiproles. Leadership is a dif-ficult thing because notonly can you tell some-one that this is what theyhave to do, but you haveto show them by doing ityourself.”

PitchersWith Coach Riley lookingfor the team's success to

start in the circle, senior Brooke Short/Hurt, senior Ashley Cor-nell/Portsmouth and sophomore Libby Morris/Dillwyn will bethe backbone of this year's squad. In 2012, Cornell led theLancers with a 3.28 ERA and a 10-9 record in 27 appearances.Morris saw the most action, hurling 157.0 innings en route to17 complete games, while Short tallied a 6-3 record, includingtwo shutouts, before facing an injury.

“All three are very different,” said Riley. “We have a left-handed pitcher in Brooke, we have an off-speed pitcher inAshley, and Libby, who is working very hard on a betterchange up, is a mixture of the two. Hopefully, they will play offof each other's strengths and give some variety to the batters.in the past, I've typically given someone the ball for all seveninnings, but that might be different this year because all com-pliment each other. We have the option to use them in thatway and maybe give those batters different looks. We aregoing to experiment a little bit.”

infieldStarting at catcher this season will be sophomore MeganBaltzell/Stafford. Last season, Baltzell led the team with a .344batting average, along with 153 putouts and a .972 fieldingpercentage from behind the dish.

“Last year, Megan was our most productive player as a fresh-man,” commented Riley. “She hits well, she steals bases andshe moves very well. Our biggest challenge with Megan is justgetting her to throw more runners out this year, but if wecould get the same performance offensively then I think we'rein great shape.”

Riley has a few players who could step into the starting role atfirst base. When she isn't pitching or in the lineup as the desig-nated player, Short will spend time at first. Other options inthe position include freshman Jamie Barbour/Amelia andsophomore Chelsea Sciacca/Whittier, California.

“Brooke has been the best hitter in our program during hertime here, so she's going to be in the lineup whether she's aDP or she's a first baseman,” explained Riley.

The middle infield will be covered by two newcomers, as CarlyAdams/Colonial Heights will start at second and Emily Mur-phy/Virginia Beach will take shortstop.

“Carly played very welldefensively in the fall andshe has good instincts forthe game,” said Riley.“Emily, one of the bestall-around athletes on ourteam, has a good arm andis very smooth defen-sively. We turned moredouble plays in gamesthis fall than we did lastspring and we only playedeight games, so we'regoing to be in goodhands. I do think they willhave to mature becausethey're freshmen andyou're probably going tosee them get nervous atdifferent times, but asthey start to get comfort-able, you'll get to see their

best softball late in the year.”

Senior Jordan Cox/Springfield will be starting at third baseonce again this season. In 2012, she started all 55 games, hit-ting .239 and posting a team-best 10 home runs.

“Jordan excels because she's a very powerful hitter and itwouldn't surprise me if she played even better with it beingher senior year,” commented Riley. “Her abilities as a hitterrival any player that we've had here in terms of power.”

outfieldIn the outfield, Coach Riley will look to sophomore Kori Nishit-omi/Kaneohe, Hawaii tostart in left field. Class-mates CaseyLifesy/Portsmouth andKatie Shinrock/FountainValley, Calif. will also startin the outfield, but CoachRiley feels both could doa good job in either cen-ter or right. Last season,Nishitomi hit .288 with 21RBI and five stolen bases.Shinrock posted a .221 av-erage in 42 games in 2012,while Lifesy, a reservelast season, scored eightruns.

“Kori will probably leadoff for us because she hasgood quickness and sheperformed well as afreshman,” explained Riley. “This year, we would like to seeher get the ball on the ground more and steal more bases forus. Center field will either be Katie or Casey, but both offer dif-ferent things. Katie is left handed and a good defender. Casey,who had been catching, is now in the outfield and getting a lit-tle bit different training, but she could be very good becauseof her athleticism, speed and strong arm. I feel comfortablethat either could start in right, so it's just a matter of whichone works out the best in terms of their skills as a centerfielder.”

Adding depth“Chelsea and Hannah Burmeister/Chesapeake are both bat-tling for time,” said Riley. “Chelsea has a very good chance tosee time in the outfield because she's a left-handed hitter.

Hannah will take on the role of coming in and pinch hitting forus and things like that, so we're kind of going to look to her tomature this year.”

ScheduleFollowing the squad's season opener at North Carolina CentralUniversity on Tuesday, February 12 at 2 p.m., Longwood isscheduled to host a pair of tournaments at home. On Feb. 16-17, the squad will hold its annual Lancer Leadoff Tournament,followed by the Longwood Spring Classic on Feb. 23-24.

“It's going to be a lot like last year in that we have an opportu-nity early to get off to a good start,” explained Riley. “In ourtwo home tourna-ments, we're as goodas any of the teamsthat we're playing andwe're not out classedin any of those situa-tions, so it wouldn'tsurprise me if we didreally well to open theseason.”

The Lancers will thenplay in the 2013 DisneyCitrus Classic, a tour-nament that attractshigh-caliber programs,on March 1-3. In Dis-ney, Longwood willsquare off againstBoston College (March1, 1:15 p.m.), FairfieldUniversity (March 1, 5:45 p.m.), the University of Louisville(March 2, 10 a.m.), Syracuse University (March 2, 2:30 p.m.)and Penn State (March 3, 1:30 p.m.). Other high-profile, non-conference opponents include the University of Virginia(March 14, 4 p.m.), Virginia Tech (April 17, 5 p.m.) and the Uni-versity of Florida (April 20-21).

“As soon as we go to Disney, which we also did last year, thecompetition really steps up and the games get harder,” saidRiley. “We play some pretty good teams down there and thenwe've got that three-game series in April with Florida, who willprobably be ranked in the top five. Although this scheduleisn’t as hard as last year, we definitely still have some difficultopponents.

Longwood will play its first-ever Big South Conference gamesin a three-game series at Winthrop University in Rock Hill,South Carolina on March 5-6.

“The real monkey wrench this season is conference play be-cause we don't have a full understanding of how hard it willbe,” said Riley. “The schedule could be as difficult as yearspast because of the league component, since conference op-ponents will be all fired up to play against you.

The 2013 Big South Conference Tournament will be hosted byWinthrop and held at Terry Field in Rock Hill, S.C. from May 9-12.

“If we stay healthy, I think we have a legitimate shot at reallycompeting with anybody in the conference tournament,” con-cluded Riley.

Longwood Softball

With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years,Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning en-vironment that extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in1839 as the Farmville Female Seminary Association, the schoolwas a pioneer first in private and later in public education. Thestate of Virginia acquired the school in 1884 and renamed it asthe Normal School, the first state institution of higher learningfor women in Virginia. Over the years, the school expanded itscurricula and had a succession of names, becoming LongwoodCollege in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24,2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. MarkWarner signed legislation that designated Longwood as a uni-versity, effective July 1, 2002. The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as Longwood

University offersmore than 100 ma-jors, minors and con-centrations to morethan 4,800 stu-dents. Given its his-torical roots,Longwood Univer-sity enjoys an envi-able reputation forteacher preparation.But the excellencehas expandedthroughout the uni-versity with strongprograms in the lib-eral arts and sci-ences, business, andprofessional andpre-profess ionalprograms. Today the

coeducational, com-prehensive state univer-

sity comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College ofArts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, theCollege of Education and Human Services and the College ofGraduate and Professional Studies. The graduate college offersprograms in education, communication sciences and disorders,English and sociology, as well as an MBA degree. Under the leadership of Interim President Marge Connelly,Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and pro-vides a meaningful learning environment. Students get an ex-cellent grounding in theory then translate their newly acquiredknowledge into action by doing research, internships, field-work and community service. Recognizing the value of experi-ential learning, Longwood is one of the few universities in thecountry to require all students to complete an internship orsimilar learning experience before graduation. Additionally,Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require thatevery freshman have a laptop computer. Technology is inte-grated throughout the learning process—an essential elementfor preparing the leaders of tomorrow. The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of de-veloping citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of serv-ices and resources. It is a learning-centered environment thatfosters intellectual exchange, scholarly communication, cul-tural enrichment, lifelong information literacy and creative ex-pression. In addition, the library provides more than 343,000titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal subscriptions,and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integratedtechnology for information retrieval from libraries throughoutthe world. This state-of-the-art facility is named in honor ofLongwood’s 22nd president, Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood whoserved from 1981 to 1987.

Longwood provides a range of business services to the regionand state through the Longwood Small Business DevelopmentCenter, while the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts servesas an important and innovative study center and cultural re-source for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and cul-tural impact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. Astudy conducted by the Longwood Small Business Develop-ment Center estimates that university employees, students andvisitors spent more than $90 million in 2007—with 66 percentof that amount being spent in Farmville and the eight surround-ing counties. The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Far-mville, Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting thecharm, beauty and character associated with its long heritage.The campus community was enhanced with the opening ofBrock Commons, a beautiful pedestrian promenade that pro-vides a central focal point for the Longwood campus whileeliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains,walkways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping con-tribute to Brock Commons, creating a parklike atmosphere forstudents, faculty, staff and the public. Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicatedon April 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most belovedbuilding and its beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, whichburned on April 24, 2001, while undergoing a $12 million reno-vation. The original eight paintings on the interior of the ro-tunda dome, created in 1905 by the Italian-born artist EugeneD. Monfalcone of Richmond, have been returned to the domefollowing an extensive restoration that was under way prior tothe fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affectionatelyas “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and re-turned to its place of honor on the main floor beneath the ro-tunda. The larger-than-life sculpture is a reproduction of thefamous 1870 original created by French sculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIAThe Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies.Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginiawas England’s first successful overseas colony and the site ofthe first permanent English settlement in America. West Vir-ginia was part of Virginia until 1863. Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democraticprinciples on which the United States was founded. Virginiaplayed an important role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and it entered the Union as the 10th of the original 13states on June 25, 1788. During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was also capital of the Con-federacy. The state has long been nicknamed Old Dominion. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, andJames Monroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of theUnited States and were among the first five U.S. presidents.Virginia is also the birthplace of U.S. presidents William HenryHarrison, John Tyler, 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 byMaryland and the District of Columbia, on the west by West Vir-ginia and Kentucky, and on the south by Tennessee and NorthCarolina. 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 theEast Coast, as well as Virginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913)is the state capital and a center of banking and insurance, andof both retail and wholesale trade. The Naval Base at Norfolk(229,112) and the Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth (101,377) em-ploy thousands of civilians and military personnel. Hampton(145,017) is important for its aviation activities such as LangleyAir Force Base and a National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-tration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a shipyardthat builds naval ships, including aircraft 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 Pen-tagon, which houses the Department of Defense, is located inVirginia and is the leading federal employer in the northern partof the state. There are also important military bases in Virginia,particularly the massive complex of army, navy, and air forcebases 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 Julytemperatures range from more than 78°F in the southeast toless than 68°F in the western mountains. Total precipitationranges from about 35 to more than 50 inches. Snowfalls aremoderate, except in the mountain regions. Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusettsand Pennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of theirofficial names. The delegates to the convention in Williams-burg, when the first Constitution of Virginia was adopted onJune 29, 1776, used commonwealth as the name for the newform of government. It is very likely they had in mind the Puri-tans’ rebellion against the Crown in England more than 100years earlier. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called com-monwealths after independence from Great Britain. The other10 former colonies took the name “state,” the term used in theDeclaration of Independence. Kentucky was once part of Vir-ginia. When Kentuckians joined the Union as the 15th state in1792, it also kept the name commonwealth.
