The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has been an autonomous member of the University of Alabama system since 1969, and has been an intercollegiate athletic program since 1977. UAB is sometimes confused with the University of Alabama (Crim-son Tide), which is located in Tuscaloosa; while this is inevitable, it is important to note that the two are indeed separate institutions.

In addition, the UAB name is often altered by various media, opponents, merchan-disers, etc.

Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name, the acronym “UAB,” or the full “University of Alabama at Birmingham.” In addition the Associ-ated Press sports stylebook now uses UAB on first reference, not Alabama-Birming-ham.

We are:UAB

University of Alabama at Birmingham

We are not:Alabama-Birmingham, Ala.-Birmingham, or U.A.B.

UAB Softball Field

The UAB softball team opened UAB Softball Field on Feb. 23, 2010. The Blaz-ers recorded one of the most successful seasons in program history in 2010, finishing with an overall record of 37-22 and earning the program’s first-ever NCAA tournament berth. UAB posted a 13-6 home record in its inaugural season at UAB Softball Field.

The complex is adjacent to and to the south of the existing baseball complex, Jerry D. Young Memorial Field, and it has required demolition of the former tennis complex that was encompassed by 12th Street South.

The new facility includes the following amenities:

* Recessed dugouts with restroom facilities * Bullpens for each team * Scorer’s platform with public address system * Ample storage * Field lighting * Seating for 350 * New state-of-the-art scoreboard with video capability with a 13.5 x 17 foot screen

The recessed dugouts each house approximately 500 square feet of space, in-cluding one restroom.

The bullpens for each team are located on the corners of the outfield just past each dugout. The space is comfortable for two pitchers to be able to warm up at any given time.

The scorer’s platform features a working area for gameday staff that includes housing of the scoreboard/video board controls, sound system controls, and the public address announcer microphone. The area also has a both phone and data capabilities for gameday operation and visiting media. The pub-lic address system features four speakers mounted to light posts around the backstop and dugouts. The control unit is located inside the scorer’s platform.

A storage room with approximately 140 square feet is adjacent to the home dugout on the first-base side. There are two additional areas in the covered hitting facility that provide an estimated total of 800-1,000 square feet of storage.

Six poles have been mounted around the facility to provide lighting for prac-

tice and games when ambient light is not satisfactory.

Metal bleacher seating areas are located behind the backstop and in between the dugouts for a maximum capacity of 350 people. All seats will be sold as general admission on a first-come, first-served basis. Information on season or single-game tickets to UAB softball may be found by going to www.uab-sports.com. Currently, the new UAB softball complex will share restroom and concessions facilities with the UAB baseball facility, Young Memorial Field.

As part of an new partnership agreement with IMG Sports, the Blazers’ multimedia rights holder, UAB has added new, state-of-the art scoreboards for Bartow Arena, Young Memorial Field, and the new on-campus softball facility. The scoreboards, which will be produced by industry leader Dak-tronics, will provide additional information and video capabilities that will feature LED technology while offering expanded inventory opportunities for corporate partners. The video equipment will be often run by a new mobile unit that will provide live game production services and instant replay capabilities. The softball scoreboard will feature static spaces for sponsor advertise-ments, as well as plenty of opportunities to ro-tate picture and video graphics on the 13.5 x 17 foot video board. The official scoreboard will feature ten innings of run counts per team, as well as total runs, hits, and errors col-umns. There will also be sections for an at-bat notifier, balls, strikes, outs, and a hit/error notifier.

Softball2013

2013 PreviewThe UAB softball team eagerly awaits the opening of the 2013 season and the challenges it faces as the Blazers attempt to return to the NCAA Tourna-ment for the fourth consecutive season.

Head coach Marla Townsend, embarking in her 14th season with the Blaz-ers, returns the largest senior class in program history. Conference USA Co-Newcomer of the Year Whitney Fletcher, who was also selected to the All-C-USA Second Team, leads the squad of seniors.

The Blazers also return all-freshman team selectee Heather Pearson and junior Kristen McGrath, who blasted a program-best 14 homeruns during the 2012 season.

“We’ve have a lot of depth this year, everybody is on task, and a lot of people will be getting a lot of playing time this season,” Townsend said.

The Seniors:UAB features a senior class of seven student-athletes this season: Whitney Fletcher, Chandler Orr, Kate Armstrong, Lauren Webster, Anna Kimbrell, Hailey Glynn and Maegan Hornsby.

“It’s a neat senior class and it’s unique,” Townsend said. “Every year that they’ve been here, we’ve gone to the NCAAs. I think they look at that as a challenge for them to continue and be the first class that goes every year.”

“This senior class is very diverse. We have some vocal leaders, and others who lead by example and set the tone of the field. I think it’s going to be interesting once we get out and start playing and see their leadership start blossoming, because they’ve been working so hard and are doing a great job.”

“Whitney, we’re expecting great things from her,” Townsend said. “Her bat is on fire, and she’s making some really great adjustments, seeing the ball very well. Obviously we’re looking for her to provide solid defense in the outfield.”

The other junior college transfer of the senior class is Chandler Orr, who scored 11 runs a season ago.

“We’re looking for Chandler to share playing time behind the plate and in the outfield. She’s really battling, and her at bats are greatly improved. She’s working hard and we’re excited to see her out there and contributing.

“Kate Armstrong plays primarily on the corners, mostly third base, but could see some time at first base as well,” Townsend said. “She had an in-credible fall, and the leadership she’s providing is what we need. She’s grown so much and it’s going to be so exciting to see her come out, especially now that she’s healthy. That’s key because, throughout her career, she’s had vari-ous injuries, but I think she’s in great shape. She’s going to have a great year at the plate, and on defense as well.”

Pitcher Lauren Webster will be a key player for the Blazers this season, and she will team up with Anna Kimbrell behind the plate.

“We’re going to rely on Lauren a lot in the circle,” Townsend said. “She’s

worked hard and I think she’s definitely ready to face opponents. She’s do-ing a good job at mixing up her pitches, and she can also play second base.”

“Anna Kimbrell will be behind the plate for us, and she is one of our three catchers who will definitely see playing time. She’s really a workhorse. She communicates great with all three pitchers, and she’s worked hard on her hitting. I think she’s definitely going to contribute. It’s neat, coming from her baseball background to see her transition into softball. She’s had a lot of success in the fall and early spring, and we’re looking forward to see her on the field.

Rounding out the seniors are outfielder Hailey Glynn and infielder Maegan Hornsby.

“Hailey Glynn has continued to work hard in the outfield, and we’ll use the opportunity to put her slap hitting up against various opponents and in dif-ferent situations. She’s really working hard and wants to make the most out of her senior year.”

“Maegan Hornsby has battled through several injuries, and the leadership she provides, whether she is on the field or not is tremendous. She under-stands the game and her teammates respect her a lot.”

The Juniors:The Blazers junior class is made up of a pair of pitchers in Lannah Camp-bell and Leigh Streetman, and infielders Kristen McGrath and Maegan Mc-Grath.

“We’ve got Kristen McGrath, who received a lot of recognition last season, and we’re expecting her to start out the year by continuing her success from last year,” Townsend said. “She’s worked hard in every aspect of her hitting, and we’re looking forward to getting her out there. She’s going to put a lot of pressure on the opposing pitcher and the defense.

“Her twin sister, Megan McGrath, will be our starting first baseman. She definitely has some pop at the plate, and is an excellent hitter. She’s solid defensively, and she’s just ready to prove herself.”

“We expect great things from Lannah Campbell this year in the circle. She’s coming off a very successful year, and we’re looking for her to continue that success and really mix it up when she faces opponents.”

“Leigh Streetman had a great offseason. She worked really hard throughout the summer, and it shows. She wants the ball at every occasion, and we expect her to see a lot of innings.”

The Sophomores:After a stellar rookie season, sophomores Hayley Davis, Amy Dennis, Heather Pearson and Anna Theriot are eager to establish their roles on the field and the plate.

“We have an outstanding sophomore class this year,” Townsend said. “Hay-ley Davis will solidify her starting role, and will definitely see a lot of play-ing time in the outfield. Her performance at the plate has dictated that she should be in the lineup, and she’s just really done a great job. She’s very

2013 Previewpowerful and can adapt to all forms of pitching. We’re looking forward to her taking her chance to shine.”

“Amy Dennis is really a solid utility player. She can easily start in the out-field, middle infield, or even the corners. She’s very productive at the plate. In our scrimmages, she’s stood out, and you can tell she’s put a lot of time and effort into it. We’ll give her as many plate appearances as possible.”

“Heather Pearson will be our starting second baseman,” Townsend said. “She’ll make the change from shortstop this year. She and Caitlin just have the potential of being one of the most solid middles in the league. Heather has really produced at the plate, has really made some key adjustments, and she’s definitely going to get on base, and she makes it happen when she does.”

“Anna Theriot has also worked very hard, and will see time in the outfield. She’s made great adjustments at the plate. We’re working on getting her as many at bats as possible because she’s got some pop. “

The Freshmen:Joining the UAB roster in 2013 are Caitlin Attfield, Kelly Britt and Ashley Johnson.

“We have three outstanding young athletes in our freshman class,” Townsend said. “Caitlin Attfield will be our starting shortstop. She’s got range, is a very determined athlete, and the coverage she provides is amaz-ing. She’s really becoming vocal, and we’ve really been working with her on that. She’ll keep the defense on their toes, offers a lot of opportunities to get on base, and when she does, she absolutely makes things happen.”

“Kelly Britt has improved tremendously from the fall, and she’s working at a few different positions, but her hitting has made strides. She’s battling to earn a spot on the lineup. On the base path, she’s really going to help us out. She’s aggressive and a very smart base runner. She understands the game and has one of the best attitudes out there.”

“Ashley Johnson has also improved tremendously,” Townsend said. “She enjoys the game and enjoys learning and working hard. She’s had some great at bats recently, and has been working hard learning the system be-hind the plate. We can call on her at any time and know that she’s going to be ready.”

The Schedule:

UAB will open the schedule with two consecutive tournaments, the first in Honolulu, Hawaii at the 2013 Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Clas-sic.

“The young ladies have done a good job staying focused and working hard to improve,” Townsend said. “We’re looking forward to opening up in Ha-waii. We want to face some of the top teams in the country, and that’s how we start this year. That’s where we want to go postseason, so why not start right now..”

The Blazers will then hit the road for the Kennesaw State Tournament for games against Eastern Kentucky, SIU-Edwardsville, IUPUI and UT Mar-tin.

“Next we’ll go to the tournament at Kennesaw State, and I have a lot of respect for the program they have there. It’s also near Heather Pearson’s hometown, so it’s a great opportunity for us the play there and also allows our local fans to support us there.”

UAB will open the 20-game home schedule on Feb. 19, hosting in-state foe Alabama.

“Our first game at home is against the defending national champion, Ala-bama,” Townsend said. “Our mindset is to play the top teams in the coun-try, and they are exactly that. Every time we step out onto the field, we have the opportunity to come out on top, and that’s our mindset.”

The final tournament the Blazers will compete in is the Magic City Classic, which will be hosted at the UAB Softball Field.

“We’re bringing the Magic City Classic to our place, and we’re looking for-ward to facing some in-state rivals in Samford and South Alabama, but then also facing some competitive teams in Murray State and Nicholls State. Any time we can play on our field, it’s an advantage, so we’re looking forward to starting out March at home and getting ready for conference play right after that.”

The Blazers will be on the road for two of their first three series in league action, starting in Orlando, Fla. to face Conference USA foe UCF before returning home to host East Carolina. UAB will then travel to Memphis, Tenn. to face its conference foe in the Tigers.

“Conference USA will be a very competitive year,” Townsend said. “We’ve got some programs that are continuing to see the success they’ve seen in past years, and we’ve got other programs that are really continuing to im-prove. Once again, it’s going to be anybody’s game, and every game counts. If we keep pushing each other and challenging each other, I think the ulti-mate goal is to get several teams into the postseason. It’s going to be a fight at the top.”

UAB will also host conference series against Southern Miss, UTEP and Marshall, while traveling to Tulsa and Houston. Interspersed throughout the schedule are non-conference games against Kennesaw State, Alabama State, South Alabama, Mississippi State, Troy, Chattanooga and Jackson-ville State.

“If you look at the way the team has come together, and their chemistry, you see that we’re a family,” Townsend said. “The team chemistry is at its best, and I think a lot of things we’ve worked on in past years, we’re already advanced through midseason form this year. We want to go out there and play these top teams. It’s a seven-inning ballgame, and we have a lot of fight in them. They’ve bought into what we’re doing, and the pride that they have for not only the team, but for the University for what we’re building here, and I think it’s going to show.”

The 2012 season was Marla Townsend’s 13th at the helm of the

UAB softball program and the recently-com-pleted campaign was one to remember for the Blazers.

Townsend led the Blazers to their third-con-secutive NCAA Championship appearance, and UAB finished in second place in league play for the first time in program history.

Named UAB’s first head coach on Sept. 1, 1998, Townsend has guided the program since its infancy. Since coming to UAB, Townsend has coached 40 all-conference student-athletes and has guided the Blazers to an all-time record of 380-377 (.502) and Conference USA mark of 145-144 (.502).

UAB enjoyed one of its most successful season in school history in 2011 as the Blazers earned the program’s second consecutive invita-tion to the NCAA Championship. UAB’s win total (39) tied the most in program history set in 2002 and the 17 victories in Conference USA play surpassed the school record (15).

In addition, three players were named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team, repre-senting the most selections in program history

and the most among any C-USA team in 2011. Furthermore, the Blazers began conference play with a perfect 6-0 record for the first time in school history.

In 2010 the Blazers earned the program’s first-ever invitation to the NCAA Champion-ship. UAB’s win total (37) marked the second-highest in school history and the 15 victories in Conference USA play tied the school record. The Blazers were never ranked lower than No. 38 in the RPI during the season.

In addition, UAB had six players named to all-conference teams, including three first-team performers. The Blazers also had four student-athletes receive all-region accolades.

The Blazers concluded their 2009 campaign with an overall record of 21-34 and placed seventh in Conference USA with an 8-16 record. The Green and Gold kicked off the season by marking a milestone at the Hawaii Paradise Clas-sic, defeating No. 19/17 LSU 5-3. UAB’s victory marked the second time in five years that the Blazers have defeated a top-25 ranked opponent. A pair of freshmen, outfielder Martina Landrum and outfielder/infielder Catherine Crawford, earned all-conference accolades.

Landrum was dubbed the C-USA’s 2009 Co-Newcomer of the Year, leading the conference in stolen bases, and Crawford was named to the league’s all-freshman team, closing the season

with a .310 batting average and 31 RBIs.

In 2008, Townsend and her squad ended the sea-son at 24-35 (9-15 C-USA). The Blazers wrapped up their season with a first round loss to Mem-phis in the C-USA Tournament. But despite the loss, the Blazers continued to rewrite the record books. Pitcher Jen-nifer Nelson finished her career as the all-time wins and

strikeouts leader.

Infielder Holly Krzan also concluded her career on top, capturing the all-time records for doubles, games played, games started, total bases and walks.

Freshman team. Townsend herself also received honors when she was inducted into the Alabama Amateur Softball Association’s Hall of Fame.

For Townsend and her 2007 Blazer squad, the season featured several record-breaking perfor-mances and new milestones. Townsend earned her 200th career victory in February as the Blazers won the USF “The Game” Tournament. UAB’s success continued in March when the Blazers defeated a top 25-ranked opponent for the first time in three years, knocking off No. 18 Southern Illinois. The Blazers finished the season 31-27 (10-13 C-USA), marking the third time in history that Townsend’s squad has topped the 30-win plateau. Individuals on the team broke single-season records for batting average, hits, doubles, home runs, walks, fielding percentage, batters struck out, wins and ERA. Centerfielder Lindsay Stanley, who broke the school’s career record with 100 stolen bases, earned first-team all-conference honors, while shortstop Krzan was named to the second team.

The 2006 season marked the Blazers’ best campaign in four years as they finished 31-22 overall and tied for second in Conference USA. Townsend guided her team to a 15-9 C-USA record, best in UAB’s history, and received the C-USA Coach of the Year award. The Blazers earned six spots on the C-USA All-Conference teams. Krzan and Stanley took home first-team honors, while Nelson and Kayla Harris were named to the second-team. Harris, along with Andrea Rogers, also earned all-freshman honors.

During the 2005 season, Townsend led the Blazers to a 23-37 mark as UAB finished seventh in the conference. UAB posted 16 non-conference wins throughout the season. Stanley was named second-team all-conference while Amanda Antonovich was named to the all-fresh-man team. UAB had 12 players named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and six were named NFCA All-American Scholar Athletes.

The 2004 campaign saw the Blazers post at least 20 wins for the fifth season in a row and was one in which UAB claimed two tourna-ment titles. UAB also placed two players on the all-conference team, as Beth Mullins was named to the second team and Krzan made the all-freshman squad.

In 2003, the Blazers posted their fourth-consecutive 20-win campaign and advanced to the Conference USA Tournament for the fourth straight season. UAB ended the year with 28 victories and posted a 6-5 win over the eighth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners. The victory in Nor-man, Okla. marked UAB’s first win versus a top-25 ranked opponent and signified the program’s

first victory against a former NCAA Champion.

Prior to the 2002 season, UAB was picked to finish seventh in the C-USA preseason polls, but Townsend’s team proved the critics wrong by placing third in the regular-season standings with a 14-10 record. The program’s accomplish-ments did not go unnoticed as Townsend was named the C-USA Coach of the Year by a vote of her peers in the coaching community. The 2002 Blazers improved upon the momentum that they built during the regular season as UAB advanced deep into the C-USA Tournament in Tampa, Fla.

The Blazers finished the three-day event as the runner-up of the postseason competition after the team swept C-USA rival Southern Miss en route to the championship game. UAB’s 2-1 extra-inning loss in the title game against peren-nial power DePaul may have ended the Blazers’ season, but the strong finish gave Townsend and her team plenty of optimism for the future. The Blazers achieved a school-record 39-22 mark in 2002 and turned in a program-best, 10-game winning streak during the spring season. The 10-consecutive wins proved to be the seventh-best mark in C-USA history.

The Blazers’ success in 2002 followed a rigor-ous 2001 season in which UAB finished with a 27-35 overall mark and ended the year as the sixth-place team in the C-USA standings (10-11 record). The Blazers led the nation in double plays turned and registered a team-high mark of 35 during the 2001 season. In 2000 -- UAB’s inaugural season -- Townsend guided the team to a 23-38 overall record and a fifth-place finish in the conference. Townsend led the Blazers to a

9-7 record against in-state competition.

UAB was not Townsend’s first head coaching position. Prior to becoming a member of the Blazer family, Townsend was the head coach of the Classic White Lightning 16-and-under Ama-teur Softball Association (ASA) team in both 1995 and 1996. The club won the ASA regional title and the state championship in both seasons.

Townsend also spent two seasons as the head coach at Pelham High School where she com-piled a stellar 77-34 overall record. In 1998, Pel-ham finished fifth in the Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 6A Tournament and was tabbed as the No. 1-ranked team in Class 6A by The Birmingham News. Also in 1998, Townsend served as the head coach of the North team during the AHSAA Alabama All-Star week and her team impressively blanked the South squad in both games, 9-0 and 7-0. Townsend is a two-time recipient of the Jefferson County Softball Coach of the Year award, was named the Shelby County Softball Coach of the Year and has also garnered high accolades as a player. Townsend earned First-Team All-America recognition in both fastpitch and slowpitch com-petition in 1992 and was a valuable outfielder on several national championship slowpitch teams.

Townsend is a graduate of Pinson Valley High School in 1982 and earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama in 1986. She continued her education with a master’s degree from UAB in 1991 and has also added an education specialist degree from the University of Montevallo in 1998. She has one daughter, Maia, who was born on Feb. 21, 2004.

2012 Season In Review2012 Year In ReviewThe UAB softball team completed a 2012 campaign that was high-lighted by the program’s best finish in Conference USA and a third-consecutive at-large bid to the NCAA Championship.

The Blazers, led by head coach Marla Townsend, ended the season 37-22 and finished second in conference play at 17-7. Additionally, UAB had six players earn Conference USA postseason awards.

30-Win MarkThe Blazers earned their 30th win of the season on April 21 with a 8-0, five-inning victory at UTEP. It marked the third straight year and sixth time in program history that UAB reached the 30-win plateau.

UAB went on to finish with 37 wins, tied for second-most in pro-gram history.

NCAA AppearancesThe UAB softball made its third-consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament last season. UAB traveled to the Knoxville Regional hosted by No. 5 Tennessee. The Blazers fell to Virginia Tech, 4-1, in the opening round and then fell to Tennessee, 8-0 (5), in an elimi-nation game.RPI

UAB never ranked below No. 49 in the RPI during the season as the Blazers played the 15th toughest non-conference schedule in the country. On April 16, UAB had its highest-ever RPI ranking at No. 33.

Finishing StrongWith a 17-7 league record, the Blazers finished the 2012 regular season in second place in C-USA, the highest-ever finish in school history. In addition, UAB earned the program’s highest seed in the C-USA Championship at No. 2.

C-USA ChampionshipUAB hosted the 2012 Conference USA Softball Championship for the first time in program history. The Blazers advanced to the semifinals with a 2-0 first-round win over Memphis, but were then defeated by Marshall, 3-2 (10).

UAB Records BrokenThe squad hit six home runs at Kentucky (3/18), topping the sin-gle-game record of five set by the 2002 squad vs. Alabama A&M.

In addition, the team surpassed the single-season home run record of 40 set in 2009. The team finished with 53 long balls with the record-breaking homer hit at Chattanooga by Heather Pearson - a three-run blast for her first as a Blazer.

Senior Mandy Lowman set a new UAB career home run record when she hit her 27th vs. Kentucky (3/18), topping the 26 Andrea Rodgers hit (2006-2009). Lowman finished with 11 homers in 2012 and 32 in her career.

Lowman also set a new UAB career RBI record with 126, surpass-ing Cliffanie Engram’s 124 (2000-03).UAB reached the NCAA Tournament

for the third-straight season in 2013.

2012 Season In Review

UAB Records Broken (Cont.)Senior Catherine Crawford smacked her 10th career triple against North Dakota (2/18) to surpass the previous record of nine set by Amanda Ellis (2001-04). Crawford finished with four triples on the season and 12 in her career.

Kristen McGrath blasted her school-record 14th home run of the season at Southern Miss (4/28), bettering the 13 hit by Andrea Rodgers in 2007.

Stellar PitchingThe Blazers finished the season first in the league in saves (6), sec-ond in ERA (2.19), runs allowed (160), innings pitched (399.2) and strikeouts (375), and third in wins (37) and walks allowed (142). Senior Amber Torres concluded the season with a 1.36 ERA to rank 14th in the nation. Torres led the league in C-USA play with a low ERA of 0.68 while Campbell’s ERA during the conference slate was 1.25 for fourth-best.

Successful SeniorsThe 2012 senior class, consisting of six Blazers, was arguably one of the most successful classes to wear the Green and Gold. In four years at UAB, they played in a brand new facility, compiled an im-pressive 134-97 overall record and earned the program’s first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Lucky 7The Blazers won their first seven conference games of the season, marking the first time in program history UAB went 7-0 to start

league play.

The seventh victory came in the series opener against Houston on March 31 by a score of 3-2.

C-USA Opener SweepThe Blazers swept Memphis in the conference-opening series, marking just the third time that the Blazers won all three games against a league opponent in the conference-opening series. UAB was the only C-USA team to win all-three games of its first league series this season.

The Blazers went on to win six of their eight C-USA series, includ-ing three sweeps. In addition, UAB won the first game of every C-USA series.

Conference USAFrom its beginning in 1994, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. As we enter the 2012-13 season, C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities.

These C-USA institutions all sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs that compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball,

basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).

The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participa-tion in their elected sport.

SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELDConference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

In addition, 36 volleyball teams, 61 men’s and women’s soccer teams and 34 softball teams have earned NCAA Tournament bids. C-USA has sent three men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, three softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the Sweet 16. The league has also had eight national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individu-al and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 650 NCAA appearances.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELDC-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 17 years, 169 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 588 were named All-District. In addition, more than 22,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TVC-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports.

C-USA DIGITAL NETWORKThe C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conference-pro-duced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all 12 of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITYThe conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the con-ference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations.

GOVERNANCEConference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.

A PROUD HISTORYConference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top confer-ences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.

The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner.

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, Conference USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together.

A PROMISING FUTURE With more conference realignment taking the stage during the 2011-12 season, C-USA held onto its strong foundation, identity and a history that reflects the league’s national presence. Conference USA will welcome six new institutions in 2013, including the return of charter member Charlotte along with FIU, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. These six members will join with East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP. In addition to the outstanding competition and strong athletic achievements these schools bring, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent. Additionally, the geography of these members allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the student-athletes, fan-friendly and cost effective.

These 14 extraordinary institutions and 17 years of remarkable history have reinforced the league’s position in collegiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

Dr. Richard Marchase, Interim President

B rian Mackin was named UAB’s Direc-

tor of Athletics on February 14, 2007. He moved into the position after spending five years as senior associate athletic director for external affairs for the Blazers. A former UAB baseball let-terman, Mackin has a deep-

rooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director. Mackin’s desire to see UAB excel both on and off the playing field was never more apparent than this past academic year when the Blazers turned in their highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings in 12 years.He has made success in the classroom and improv-ing athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions. Under Mackin’s watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mis-sion to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete’s experience while at UAB. Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for

student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions. Mackin’s priority on academics has paid dividends as the Blazers’ Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores have improved each year under his tenure as AD. The most recent APR report released in June showed that all but three of UAB’s teams have a multi-year rate of 950 or better.Since Mackin became athletics director, a new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened. A new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers’ Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices. Other facilities improvements have included the resur-facing of the track for the Blazers’ track and field team. The first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed prior to the start of the 2010 season. This past February, the Don and Alicia Huey Softball Hitting Facility was dedicated.The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academ-ics. In the last two years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB’s athletics teams. In his position as athletics director, Mackin has also been involved on various conference and national com-mittees. He just completed his first year as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee.Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic department. In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin’s leadership,

contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Inves-tors Group, the Champion Club, and the Blazer Club, which brought together the two annual funds support-ing football and men’s basketball.Prior to joining UAB, Mackin served as Manager of Corporate Business Development at Vulcan Materials, where he was responsible for examining potential new markets for business development and locating growth opportunities in the industry. Mackin earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from UAB in 1983. He was a member of the Blazer baseball team four seasons and then moved into the Houston Astros baseball organization where he spent one season. Mackin then joined Vulcan Materials, where he held management positions in sales and market analysis. In 1990, he joined Southern Ready Mix as sales manager before joining Dunn Construction in 1993 where he rose to vice president in 1999. His responsibilities included business development, sales and project man-agement. Mackin’s community activities include the Birmingham Tip-Off Club, which hosts the State High School Final Four, the Monday Morning Quarterback Club and the Birmingham Rotary Club. He has served as the presi-dent of the Birmingham Tip-Off Club. In addition, Mackin is a member of the Public Athletic, Cultural and Entertainment Facilities Board of the City of Birmingham (PACE).Mackin and his wife, Sally, have five children: Ragland (24), Brian Jr. (22), Ferrell (19), Mary Aileen (18), and Ella (16).

One of the most respected figures in inter-collegiate athletics, Gene Bartow, forged

the UAB athletic program into a well-rounded organization with outstanding teams in sev-eral sports. Bartow, considered the “founding father” of UAB athletics, grew the intercolle-giate sports program there from its infancy into one that featured 17 sports and an annual operat-ing budget of more than $8 million by the time he retired from the position in 2000.

Bartow, who passed away Jan. 3, 2012 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, guided the program through three conference changes, grew the football team from a club sport into a Division I-A program, and added several women’s sports to the university’s athletics roster.

Bartow was at the helm of the UAB men’s basketball pro-gram for 18 seasons, compiling a record of 366-203 (.643) during his tenure. He led the Blazers to the NIT in the pro-gram’s second year of existence, and followed that up with seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 in 1981 and the Elite Eight in 1982. In all, he led UAB to 14 postseason appearances, nine of which were NCAA Tournaments.

In addition to his time at UAB, Bartow is one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. By the time he retired from collegiate coaching in 1996, he had led teams for 34 years at six universities (Cen-tral Missouri State, Valparaiso, Memphis State, Illinois, UCLA and UAB), compiling 647 wins, 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Four appearances, one national title game appearance and one national Coach of the Year Award (both with Memphis State in 1973), and no probation problems with the NCAA.

In 2009, Bartow received the ultimate honor as he was inducted into the National College Basketball Hall of Fame. He entered the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and is also a member of both the Mis-souri Basketball Hall of Fame and the Northeast Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame.

The Browning, Mo. native coached 34 years at six universities. He coached at Central Missouri State University from 1961-64, Valparaiso University from 1964-1970, Memphis State University from 1970-74, and he led the Tigers to the ‘73 NCAA national championship game and consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles in the ‘71-’72 and ‘72-’73 seasons. In 1974 Bartow accepted the head coaching position at the University of Illinois. Illinois finished 8-18 in his only season coaching the Fighting Illini, and Bartow left his position to succeed John Wooden as the head coach of UCLA. Bartow coached at UCLA from 1975 to 1977, guiding them to a 52-9 record, including a berth in the 1976 Final Four. Bartow left UCLA after the 1977 season to take over the job of creating an athletic program at UAB.

Bartow retired from coaching in 1996, and in 1997, UAB renamed its basketball venue, Bartow Arena, in his honor. The Birmingham News has voted him one of the top 10 most influential figures in Alabama sports for the past century.

Bartow is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Huffine, and three children, Mark, Beth and Murry, who is the head men’s basketball coach at East Tennessee State.

W ith a population of more than 230,000 (more than one million in the metro-

politan area), Birmingham has a strong, diverse, service-oriented economy and is recognized as a Southeast leader.

Founded shortly after the Civil War, Bir-mingham rapidly became known as “The Magic City” because of its phenomenal rate of industrial growth in its beginning. Its mountainous strata and forest sur-rounding the city are rich with ore

deposits, and it was that natural wealth that quickly transformed young Birmingham into a bustling steel metropolis.

Today, Birmingham continues to earn the distinction, “The Magic City,” but this tribute is due to the city’s economic competitiveness, technological advancements and quality of life — offerings which are sought after by professionals with an eye toward the future.

Birmingham has been recognized as one of America’s “Most Livable Cities” by the U.S. Conference of Mayors — as recently as 1993. Birmingham’s strategic location and diverse economy position the city as one of tremendous opportunity and growth.

Centrally located and the largest munici-pality in Ala bama, the city is home to a num-ber of renowned individuals who have made an impression on the nation and the world in music and entertainment, education, medi-cine and sports, to name a few.

There is never a lack of cultural entertain-ment in “The Magic City”. Dozens of neigh-borhood and city-wide festivals, museums, parks, sports competitions and much more provide unlimited activity and amusement.

Residents and visitors to Birmingham enjoy the city’s recreational and historical attractions such as the Birmingham Zoo, Bir-mingham Botanical Gardens, Vulcan Park, Sloss Furnaces, Southern Museum of Flight and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.

Sports enthusiasts will never be at a loss for activity at the heart of the “Football Capital of the South.” UAB plays all of its home football games at historic Legion Field, which also was the site of preliminary round soccer matches at the 1996 Summer Olym-pic Games. Professional athletic teams in the area include the Class-AA Birmingham Barons (baseball).

Several annual fests are held in Birming-ham. The biggest is City Stages, held each spring in the downtown City Center. City Stag-es attracts nearly a quarter of a million people for a three-day weekend of unlimited music.

All of this and more makes Birmingham “The Magic City” to residents and visitors year-round.

The statue of Vulcan — Roman God of Fire and Iron — is the symbol of the city of Birmingham.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Museum stands as a reminder of the past and a beacon of hope

for the future.

Softball2013UAB in theCommunityThe Blazer football team is just one example of the UAB Ath-

letic Department’s commitment to helping, serving and donat-ing to the Birmingham community. UAB takes great pride in giving back to a community that gives so much to it.

UAB football has stepped up as one of the leaders in com-munity outreach, participating in a wide variety of projects and activities throughout the year.

One of the Blazers’ continuing efforts is weekly visits to the Chil-

dren’s Hospital during the spring. Every week, several players and coaches spend quality time with patients and families at the Children’s Hospital.

Other community service ventures recently had included UAB’s Classroom Connection, volunteer-ing at the Ronald McDonald House and joining with local radio station 95.7 to help clean up a Birmingham-area elementary school.

Softball2013UAB’s Sports Enhancement can now boast of having one of the finest facili-

ties around for the staff and student-athletes.The center opened in January of 2008

and houses a 10,000 square-foot weight room that features more than 40,000 pounds of free weights.

Director of Sports Enhancement Dwayne Chandler and his staff work with members of the Blazer football team to develop training pro-grams and enhance each athlete’s performance.

Chandler, who has over 10 years of expe-rience at both the collegiate and professional levels as a strength and conditioning coach, was hired in January of 2012.

Chandler came to UAB from his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, where he

served as an assistant on the staff since 2009. He spent two years as an assistant strength

and conditioning coach for the Denver Broncos (2007-08). While there, Chandler worked with such standout performers as Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and Champ Bailey.

Prior to joining the staff in Denver, Chan-dler was on the staff at the University of Minnesota, joining the Golden Gophers as a strength and conditioning assistant and speed coach in 2001 before being named co-head strength and conditioning coach in 2003. In 2004, Chandler was named the head strength and conditioning coach at Minnesota where he served until 2006.

During his time with the Gophers, Chan-dler instructed 12 players who were selected

in the NFL Draft, including 2006 first-round draft choice Laurence Maroney and 2005 fourth-round selection Marion Barber III.

Before going to Minnesota, Chandler spent a season with the Dallas Cowboys, serving as a strength and conditioning intern.

Chandler and the Blazers spend a lot of their time in the bright and spacious weight room, which includes state-of-the-art equip-ment for weight training, stretching and conditioning workouts.

Chandler and the staff use a variety of techniques to assist the Blazers in achieving maximum performance and potential. With a heavy emphasis on Olympic style weight-lifting, the program concentrates on speed, power, and strength.

Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Danez M. Marrable-Lockhart

oversees a staff of eight full-time advisors, a learning specialist, reading and writing spe-cialist and five assistants in the Don M. & Marsha Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. Their mission is to provide the highest quality of academic support, counseling and guidance to UAB student-athletes by promot-ing academic excellence, self-responsibility, personal and professional growth.

Marrable-Lockhart and her staff act as a liaison between the student-athlete, coach-es and UAB’s academ-ic communities and ensures that student-athletes comply with academic rules estab-lished by the univer-sity, the NCAA and Conference USA. The staff also coordinates academic programs designed to assist the student-athletes in acquiring a quality education as well as programs to promote personal and career development.

UAB’s Student Ser-vices program wants to make certain that stu-dent-athletes succeed to their highest academic ability. Inherent in the program is the philoso-phy that student-athletes take responsibility for

their own growth and development while receiving maximum support. The academic unit’s goals are to prepare student-athletes for viable careers, to assist them in securing degrees and to produce responsible citizens.

The athletic advisors, in conjunction with specific major advisors, work with student-athletes on a regular basis on necessary requirements for their chosen degree. The advisors also help plan class schedules, keep-ing in mind academic standing, practice, travel and competition schedules. In addi-

tion, athletic advisors regularly review the performance and class attendance of all student-athletes to help them keep on pace toward graduation.

In addition, the Life Skills pro-gram is run through this office. This NCAA program centers around the five commitments (academics, athletics, personal development, career develop-ment and community service) and was created to support the student-athlete development ini-tiatives and enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher edu-cation.

Finally, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is advised through the student ser-vices offices. This group, the ‘voice’ of the student-athletes, is composed of representatives from each team. At UAB, this group works to promote UAB athlet-ics, organizes community service efforts, provides administration

with the voice of the student-athletes and works to ensure student-athlete welfare and success in the Birmingham community.

UAB’s commitment to academic excel-lence got a boost in the summer of 2008 with the completion of the Don M. & Mar-sha Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. Under the direction of athletics director Brian Mackin, and with a gener-ous donation from Don M. & Marsha Hoke Hire, UAB was able to completely renovate the academic center and provide first-class facilities to the Blazers’ student-athletes.

Sitting in the middle of UAB’s athletic complexes, including Bartow Arena and the football practice facilities, the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center serves as the home for overseeing the educational development and progress toward gradua-tion for all student-athletes.

The Sports Medicine staff provides for all 16 varsity teams and 350 University of

Alabama at Birmingham student-athletes with high quality health care. Student-athletes have access to the leading sports medicine and health care professionals.

The Sports Medicine staff consists of team physicians, dentists, athletic trainers and a sports nutritionist. The daily care, preven-tion, evaluation and treatment of injuries is supervised by a staff of seven full-time and five graduate assistants that have been certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) and licensed by the state of Alabama.

The Sports Medicine program is under the direction of Mike Jones; his full-time athletic

trainers are Melissa Adams, Laurie Fincher, Bryan Koch, Greg Mytyk, Daniel Springer and Jennifer Wallace. Graduate assistant trainers Seong Choi, Matt Fisher, Ellen Har-ris, Daniel Lindsay, Ian McComb and Logan Speicher complete the staff.

Team physicians are affiliated with the acclaimed UAB Health System, health profes-sional school and the UAB Sports Medicine.

U.S. News & World Report and other national publications consistently rank UAB’s innova-tive programs and expert specialists among the best in America. The Medical Director of UAB Sports Medicine is Dr. William Garth, an orthopedic surgeon. He is responsible for all services provided to student-athletes. General medical care is provided by Dr. Brenda Baumann and Dr. Marshall Crowther.

In the fall of 2008, the Wallace Build-ing Athletic Training Room opened. The 9,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility offers the finest therapeutic modalities and rehabilitative equipment. It has an extensive collection of therapeutic and rehabilitation equipment including a BTE isokinetic test-ing machine and hydrotherapy tanks. The Wet Room features two free standing dual-tank consoles that offer whole-body and extremity immersion in either warm or cold hydrotherapy. UAB has the largest dual-tank console that has a stainless steel tank with a capacity of 1,450 gallons of water and can accommodate up to 25 football student-athletes at a time. In addition to the Wallace

Building Facility, auxiliary athletic training rooms are located in Bartow Arena and in Young Memorial Field.

In the fall semester, 2008, the Wallace Building Athletic Training Room opened its doors. UAB student-athletes began enjoying a brand-new, state of the art athletic training facility. The new 9,000 square foot center allows the athletic training staff to work more efficiently and gives the student-

athletes a much more comfortable facility.

Softball2013The state-of-the-art, $25 million Cam-pus Recreation Center has covered

all the bases. It boasts 18,000 square feet of weight and fitness space outfitted with all-new equiptment and a one-eighth-mile oval running track that juts out of the build-ing, curving toward University Boulevard and 15th Street South to provide panoram-ic views of the campus. And just to make sure no one gets bored, planners added a five-story, rock-climbing wall.

The facility features four basketball courts, five racquetball courts, one of which converts to a squash court and a multi-purpose court that can be used for indoor soccer, volleyball, floor hockey or badminton. There are also four aerobic rooms and a swimming pool with four lap lanes and leisure and physical rehabilita-tion areas.

The handicap-accessible pool has many special features. A continuous current in the “lazy river” carries swimmers around the outer edge of the pool in inner tubes – the ride ends under a waterfall – or individ-uals can walk against the flow as a part of a physical rehabilitation program. For more intense resistance training, center members can use the “vortex,” a circular area within

the pool with forceful water jets. One of the four aerobics rooms is dedi-

cated to spinning; the others host Pilates, general aerobics, yoga, step, and kick-boxing classes along with other specialty offerings.

The facility also includes the Kids Zone, a supervised area – equipped with toys, books, and movies – where parents can drop off children while they work out.

The center also has a juice bar, wire-less internet access, and an Outdoor Pur-suits Center that rents camping gear and leads backpacking, rafting, and skiing trips to desitnations around the United States. The first floor houses a wellness center that coordinates with UAB groups to offer nutritional counseling, body-fat measure-ments, personal training, and general fit-ness assessments.
