ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION


The University of South CarolinaAiken was chartered in 1961 afterentering into an agreement with theUniversity of South Carolina toestablish a two-year center in Aiken.

The Aiken Center opened itsdoors in September 1961 to 139students. Temporarily housed inBanksia, a renovated mansion in theAiken, the Center consisted of threefull-time faculty members (one ofwhom served as Director of theCenter).

In 1968, the Center underwentan institutional self-study and wasaccredited by the SouthernAssociation of Colleges and Schoolsas a branch of the University ofSouth Carolina and as a juniorcollege. The first associate degreeswere awarded in June 1968.

The campus of USC Aikenmoved from Banksia to its presentsite in 1972 and physical changesbegan to occur rapidly. At first, thepermanent campus consisted of 100acres and one multipurpose buildingwhich housed all universityoperations. A library was completedin 1975 and additional land wasdonated increasing the campus to144 acres. In October 1977, theStudent Activities Center wasopened. A classroom building wasoccupied in 1978 and one year later,an auxiliary services building wasadded.

An apartmentcomplex forstudents, PacerDowns, wasready foroccupancy in fallof 1984. Moreconstructionadditions to thecampus includedcompletion of theEtherredgeCenter, RuthPatrick ScienceEducation Center,the Business andEducation Building and the Alan B.Miller Nursing Building. Additionalland was acquired increasing thecampus to 400 acres.

Academic and organizationalchanges also occurred rapidly. Thefaculty formalized its organizationalstructure and redefined its role in thegovernance of the institution in 1974-75. Also, the students reorganizedtheir governing body and moreprecisely defined their role oncampus; the administration and staffstructures were overhauled andexpanded to meet the demands of thegrowing academic programs.

When the full-time equivalentstudent enrollment reached 1,066 inthe fall of 1975, the Aiken Campuswas permitted to plan for senior levelcourses, as well as create a number

of baccalaureate degree programs.In that same year, USCA receivedapproval as a four-year branchcampus by the Board of Trustees ofthe University of South Carolina andUSCA was designated a RecognizedCandidate for Senior CollegeAccreditation. In September 1976,the Board of Trustees grantedacademic autonomy to the AikenCampus. The first bachelor’sdegrees were granted in May 1977and USCA became a fully accreditedsenior college.

Presently, the college communityis comprised of more than 3,300students, over 100 full-time faculty,approximately 110 staff members,and 28 administrators. USCAawards bachelor’s degrees in morethan 20 major areas of study, anassociate degree in nursing, master’sdegrees in two areas, and offers avaried program of continuingeducation courses for the widercommunity.

When Mike Brandt picked up hisfamily and moved them 1,532 milescross country, no one could questionhis desire to compete at a high levelor his commitment to winning.

Brandt, after 13 highly successfulseasons at Northeastern JuniorCollege in Sterling, Colo., begins hisfourth season at the helm of the USCAiken women’s basketball program.

Known as an intelligent basketballmind, a compassionate human being,and an involved member of thecommunity, Brandt took over an up-and-coming program at USCA andcontinues to elevate it.

“Mike Brandt is not only a suc-cessful coach in terms of wins andlosses, but he exhibits all the qualitieswe want in one of our head coaches,”said Randy Warrick, USCA AthleticDirector.

This past year, Brandt led USCAiken to a 19-13 overall record andthe team’s second berth in the NCAATournament in the past four years. Inaddition, the Lady Pacers were afactor in the Peach Belt Conferencerace finishing 9-7 and if not forArmstrong Atlantic State having tovacate 17 wins including sevenconference victories, USCA wouldhave won the North Division title.

With another successful season,the program extended its streak ofnon-losing seasons to six, the longestactive such streak in the Peach BeltConference.

In 2003-04, the Lady Pacersbolted out of the starting gate to thetune of a 7-2 record. USC Aiken wasa buzzer beater away from upsettingDivision I Georgia Southern, but 11losses by seven points or less left theteam’s final tally at 14-14 overall and6-10 in the PBC.

In his first season, Brandt led theteam to a 19-13 overall record, justone win shy of its third consecutive20-win campaign.

The .594 winning percentage wasthe second best among new coachesin their first season in school history.

In Dru McPherson’s only year, sheposted a .630 winning percentage.The 19 wins, however, is the mostever by a first year coach.

Prior to coming to USC Aiken,Brandt was regarded as one of thetop junior college women’s basket-ball coaches in the country.

In 2001-02, while the LadyPacers were making the school’sfirst trip to the NCAA Division IITournament, Brandt was taking thePlainswomen of NJC “dancing” forthe 12th straight time.

In his final season at NJC,Brandt guided the Plainswomen to a29-7 record, a NJCAA regionalchampionship, and a number ninefinish at the NJCAA national champi-onships. In shattering the old schoolrecord of 23 wins in a season, set in2000-01, Brandt was named theNJCAA District G Coach of the Year.

Also included in his list ofaccomplishments is coaching formerLady Pacer standout Janell Gerk(1999-2001) in her first two collegiateseasons at Northeastern. As anewcomer to USCA in 1999-2000,Gerk led Division II in three-pointfield goals made with 111 in beingnamed Second-Team All-Confer-ence.

Brandt, 253-129 in 13 seasonsat NJC, posted 12 consecutivewinning seasons and eight 20-winseasons. His teams had at least

Sometimes greatness in a teamsport can only be defined whenviewed as a whole, a sum of theparts. But when those parts aredissected, each individual piece maynot be all that impressive.

In the world of sports, the MiamiDolphins of the early 1970’s madethis famous with their “no-namedefense”. True, that in and of itself,that gave the group a name, but itwas the point that it made. As acollective unit, the team was great.As individuals, they weren’t all thatspecial.

Fourth-year head coach MikeBrandt hopes this analogy holdssome truth for his 2005-06 women’sbasketball team. With just threereturners from last year, only two ofwhich were starters, the Lady Pacerswill count on the eight newcomers tohave an immediate impact and thatabsent the shining of a true “star”,the team will succeed as a group.

“Our team chemistry is going tobe very important. We’ve enteredthe season with a lot less individual-ism,” said Brandt. “Little things likewe didn’t get our names on our travelsweats or on the back of our warm-

ups. We are just really going toemphasize the team.”

In 2004-05, USC Aiken puttogether an impressive campaigngoing 19-13 overall including a 9-7mark in the tough Peach Belt Confer-ence. Picked to finish 10th in lastyear’s preseason coaches poll, theLady Pacers turned some heads byfinishing fourth and earning theprogram’s second trip to the NCAATournament in the last four years.

Gone from the team are five ofthe top seven scorers and reboundersaccounting for 73 percent of theteam’s 64.5 points per game and 67percent of the 40.7 rebounds pergame. Kasey Mills, a First-Team All-Conference selection last year, andher 13.5 ppg goes from the backcourtto the sideline in her first season asstudent assistant coach.

Stepping in, however, is a newcrop of talented, excited players readyto keep the program where it is at,and add their own chapters. Charac-terizing this year’s chapter will be anincrease in athleticism and defensivequickness. What the team gives up insize, it will gain in a new style of playcentering around pressure and speed.

“I think it’s a very good recruitingclass as a whole. There are a lot ofdifferent styles of play within theclass,” said Brandt. “It’s going to takesome time and some growing pains,and there will be a lot more highs andlows, but if we can get good minutesand good productivity out of three orfour [of our freshmen], then I think it’sgoing to be a successful class.”

The 2005-06 PBC preseasoncoaches poll demonstrates that therest of the league’s 11 head coachessee what Brandt sees, that the LadyPacers will be a factor at the end.USC Aiken was tabbed sixth alongwith rival Augusta State.

“I think it’s a fair assessment.With the players that we lost, andthen having so many new playerscoming in, in some ways it could be acompliment to our program,” said

and home. You get a truer leaguechampion now,” said Brandt. “Onthe other hand, I don’t like the factthat our conference will be beatingup on each other even more than wedid with the 16-game schedule. Ithink it will be harder for four or fiveof our teams to get into the NCAATournament like we have before.”

GUARDSMindy Allee, joins forward Nola

Grant, as the only returning startersfrom last year. Allee, in her fourthseason with the Lady Pacers, is aredshirt junior who has had to battlethrough two ACL injuries. Lastseason, playing through pain, the 5-4Clayton, Wis. native led the teamand ranked third in the PBC inassists at 4.56 per contest.

“Mindy is the glue to our team.She’s going to be our leader,” saidBrandt. “Our players respect herand they voted her captain. Sheplays solid defense, shoots the ballwell, and knows my expectationsafter being with me for three years.”

Keirstin Jones will back up Alleeat the point guard position. Thefreshman from Enfield, N.C. was theFemale Athlete of the Year at South-east Halifax High School last year.

“Keirstin is going to do a nice jobat the point,” said Brandt. “She’simproved a lot in the little time we’ve

had her here.”Nichole Bennett is a redshirt

junior at the shooting guard post.Bennett, a junior college transfer, toreher ACL during preseason last yearand could only contribute from thebench in street clothes.

“Nichole is a good, smart basket-ball player and for her to contribute,we need her to play within herself andplay smart basketball,” said Brandt.

A pair of freshmen in MeganStarnes and Meredith Legg will figureinto the mix at the two position.Starnes is a 5-7 guard from Riley,Kan. A First-Team All-State selectionin 2005, Starnes led Riley CountyHigh School to a 3A Kansas StateChampionship and a perfect 26-0record. Legg is a 5-9 product ofHuntersville, N.C. and finished hercareer as the all-time leading scorerat Hopewell High School.

“Megan is athletic and a very soliddefensive player with the ability to hitthe pull-up jumper,” said Brandt.“Meredith is a pure shooter that canshoot the three extremely well. Wewill count on her for productive nightson the floor, both threes and twos.”

FORWARDSThree newcomers will see time at

the wing position. Avonte Williams isan ultra-athletic 5-9 transfer who

played her freshman season atDivision I Robert Morris. LaToshiaBroadwater returns home to theCSRA after spending two years atFlorida Community College. AndKendra Chandler is a 5-7 freshmanwho averaged 15.0 ppg and 9.0 rpgfor Aiken High School in 2003-04.

“Avonte, LaToshia, and Kendraare three very good athletes andvery good defenders. They bring toour program something we haven’thad since I’ve been here,” saidBrandt. “Their quickness andathleticism, especially on defense,will make a big difference.”

POSTNola Grant enters her senior

season at USC Aiken as the topreturning scorer and rebounder at10.4 ppg and 6.2 rpg. SophomoreJordon Thomas missed 24 gameswith an ACL injury last year, but isback this year and freshmen SatuLeppanen and Allison Jackson willadd to the depth at the post.

“Satu and Nola will be ourmainstays as an inside presence,”said Brandt. “Jordon has goodstrength to help us out inside andmay also slip outside for us. Allisondidn’t play high school basketball lastyear, so she’s a little behind, but hasthe potential to contribute to theteam.”

USC Aiken capped offan impressive 2004-05season by earning a berthin the NCAA South AtlanticRegion Tournament, theprogram’s second in thepast four seasons.

Picked to finish 10th inthe 12-team Peach BeltConference by theleague’s head coaches,the Lady Pacers turnedsome heads after conclud-ing the year with a 19-13overall mark and a 9-7conference record, goodenough for fourth place.

If not for ArmstrongAtlantic State having tovacate 17 regular seasonvictories including sevenPBC wins, the LadyPacers would have cap-tured their third NorthDivision Title in the pastfive seasons.

As good as 2004-05was for USC Aiken, if notfor injuries and a couple ofbad bounces, the LadyPacers’ year could havebeen one for the recordbooks.

Junior guard NicholeBennett went down in thepreseason and was lost forthe year. Freshmanforward Jordon Thomastorn her ACL in the eighthgame of the year and wasout for the remainder ofthe season.

For two-thirds of theseason, USCA played witheight roster players. Addin two overtime losses andfour more defeats by threepoints or less, and theLady Pacers could havebeen staring at theprogram’s first 25-wincampaign since 1977-78.
