Brown led the Tar Heels with a .338 average in 2008 and will look to continue to move up the career charts in several hitting categories, while Spaulding led the Tar Heels in total bases (96). With the departure of Jennifer Jacobs and Cassie Palmer the Tar Heels will look for added contributions from seniors Emily Troup, Whitney Allen and Alyssa Francona who all posted career years in Carolina’s record setting 2008 season. Brown needs just five steals to move into Carolina’s top five after swiping a team-high 15 a year ago. Also likely to cause havoc on the basepaths will be sophomore Dani Manko who picked up 11 steals on 15 attempts last year along with likely starting shortstop Christine Knauer.

Pitching There is just one thing better than having a dominant pitcher in the circle and that is to have a pair of dominant pitchers and that is exactly what the Tar Heel coaching staff have at their disposal in 2009. Senior right-hander Lisa Norris returns for the Tar Heels after posting a career-best 0.97 ERA to go along with a team-best 17-5 mark. Norris ranks in Carolina’s career top 10 in nearly every pitching category and will provide a veteran presence for the Tar Heels in the circle. The other half of the Tar Heels two- headed monster is 2008 ACC Player of the Year Danielle Spaulding who posted an identical 0.97 ERA to go along with a 16-3 record and a team-high 208 strikeouts. The left-hander from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. emerged as one of the top pitchers in the country a year ago after seeing limited action as a freshman. Adding depth on the pitching staff will be newcomer Constance Orr, a right-hander from Charlotte, N.C. Defense Traditionally one of the top defensive teams not only in the ACC but also in the country Carolina will look to replace one of the most reliable fielders in school history in graduated senior Cassie Palmer. Looking to supplant Palmer at second base will be sophomore Brittany Robinson along with newcomers Leah Francona and Kelsey Green. The left side of the infield will have a very familiar look as starting third baseman Alyssa Francona and starting shortstop Christine Knauer return for the Tar Heels. When she’s not leading the Tar Heels in the circle junior Danielle Spaulding will hold down first base while Stephanie Murad and Constance Orr will also see action at first. All three starting outfielders return for Donna J. Papa with seniors holding down left field (Whitney Allen) and center field (Breanna Brown), while junior Anna Roberts started 24 games in the outfield a year ago. Looking to crack the starting lineup in the outfield will be senior Emily Troup along with underclassmen defensive stars Dani Manko and Kelli Wheeler. Behind the dish will be sophomore Brittany McKinney and freshman Ally Blake who graduated in December to join the Tar Heels a year early.

Page 13 • 2009 UNC Softball Media Guide Donna J. Papa, head softball coach at North Carolina since 1986, has been the veritable architect of a Carolina softball program that ranks among the country’s best – and keeps getting better. In fact, Papa led the Tar Heels, NCAA Tournament participants in seven of the last eight years, to a new school record for most wins in a season as the team went 50-12-1 in 2008. Papa led the Tar Heels to an ACC-best 18-2 regular season mark en route to hosthost- ing the first NCAA Regional at Anderson Stadium. Under her tutelage Carolina has established itself as a perennial top 25 program testimony that UNC competes at the highest levels on the field while excelling academically at one of the nation’s top universities. One of the 20 winningest coaches in NCAA history, Papa joined the 800-win club in 2007 as her team went 46-21. In her remarkable 25-year career, she has compiled an 889-500-5 record, including an 860-485-5 mark as head coach at Carolina. During her tenure at UNC, Papa has led the Tar Heels to 20 winning seasons, including the last 10 in a row. The team earned its first NCAA Tournament bid in 2001 and has made returns to the field the past six years running. Carolina claimed the 2001 Atlantic Coast Conference Championship and has played in the title game on two other occasions. Papa has been named ACC Coach of the Year four times – in 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2008. Since coming to Chapel Hill in 1985, Papa has coached players to All-America seasons on nine occasions and All-Southeast Region performances on 51. HEAD COACH DONNA J. PAPA Theresa Buscemi was the first Tar Heel to earn All-America honors when she was named to the third team in 1992. Christine Kubin earned first-team honors in 1996, and Brandy Arthur followed in 1998. Kelly Ramsey was named to the third team in 2000, Tiffany Tolleson was named a third team member in 2002 and 2003, and Jaclyn Holden became the first Tar Heel freshman to earn the honor when she was named to the third team in 2003. In 2006, Crystal Cox was selected to the third team. Junior Danielle Spaulding earned second team honors after her outstanding 2008 season. UNC players who have earned first-team All-Southeast Region honors under Papa’s coaching are Natalie Anter (1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002), Brandy Arthur (1995, ‘98), Sonya Bright (1993), Theresa Buscemi (1992), Crystal Henderson (1999), Jaclyn Holden (2003), Jen Klesaris (2000), Christine Kubin (1996), Tracey Narwid (1989, ‘90), Maria Powers (1986), Emily Price (2004), Kelly Ramsey (2000), Michelle Semmes (2000), Lorin Slade (1996), Beverly Smith (1994), Tiffany Tolleson (2002 and 2003), Crystal Cox (2006), Jennifer Jacobs (2008), Lisa Norris (2008) and Danielle Spaulding (2008). “My goal for student-athletes in this program is that they become the best players they can be and they have a quality experience on the field,” Papa says. “But we also want to be helping them off the field in terms of the things that they’ll take with them for the rest of their lives – the discipline, the respect for others, time management. We want DONNA J. PAPA them to go away feeling like they weren’t just a player in our program, they were part of a family. We have a softball family that goes on after they graduate.” In addition to success on the field, Papa’s program is known for excellence in the classroom. Christine Kubin earned HEAD COACH Academic All-America honors in in 1995 and ’96, and nine other Tar Heels have been named to the Academic All- UCONN (‘79) America All-District team. Players who have earned that honor are Jenny Reed (1989), Julie O’Shields (1992), Lynnae Flynn (1993), Kubin (1994), Colleen Lefferts (1999), Beth Olen (2000), Sarah Young (2001, ’02), Anna Tharrington 24TH YEAR AT CAROLINA (2003), Jessica Graziano (2004) and Anna Evans (2006, ‘07). Tar Heel softball players regularly earn spots on the ACC Academic Honor Roll, with nine making the list for the 2007-08 school year. Breanna Brown and Emily Troup were also named to the All-ACC Academic Team in 2008. During her time at North Carolina, Papa has been a driving force behind the construction of the new UNC Softball Complex, including the recently dedicated Anderson Stadium, where the Tar Heels began play in 2002. It features many player-friendly innovations and, with the completion of the grandstands and the team building, is among the finest college facilities in the country. “It’s really been a great thing to see happen,” Papa says. “It’s something I’ve been looking at on paper for years, but to have it happen is a dream come true. You want to leave something behind and this facility is something I can leave as my mark. It’s an exciting thing for our program.” Prior to arriving in Chapel Hill, Papa spent two seasons as head volleyball and softball coach at Susquehanna University. Her 1985 softball squad compiled a 16-8 record, won its conference division and qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. Papa’s duties at Susquehanna also included working as the women’s intramural coordinator, a physical education instructor and the school’s primary recruiter for women’s athletics. She served as an assistant softball coach at St. John’s University from 1981-83 after spending one year as an assistant coach at UNC Greensboro while she worked toward a master’s degree in physical education. Papa earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from the University of Connecticut in 1979. She played four seasons of softball for the Huskies and was co-captain her junior and senior seasons. Papa’s playing career also encompassed stints with ASA Major Fast Pitch teams including the Franklin Coronets (West Haven, Conn.) and the Waterford (Conn.) Mariners. As a Mariners outfielder, she helped the team to a 12th-place finish in the 1982 ASA national tournament. A respected clinician, Papa conducts Carolina softball camps and clinics throughout the year. She has been a member of the Louisville Slugger Advisory Board since 1994 and was a member of the Women’s Pro Softball League Advisory Board. She has served on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Committee and the NCAA All-Region Committee and began a two-year term representing the ACC on the NFCA Top-25 Selection Committee in 2006 and 2007. Born March 16, 1956, in Waterbury, Conn., she was a recent recipient of the Olympian Award, presented by the Olympian Club of Waterbury, Conn., in recognition of outstanding achievement in athletics.

Page 14 • 2009 UNC Softball Media Guide The 2009 season will mark Beverly Smith’s 10th year as a coach at Carolina, her first as associate head coach, though her integral role in establishing the UNC softball program can hardly be summed up by a number. ASSISTANT COACHES/SUPPORT STAFF Smith’s first contributions as a Tar Heel came on the field as a player, where her remarkable career from 1991-94 helped establish Carolina as a growing softball force. Since then, though, she has continued to make an impact on the program, including in her current role as assistant/associate head coach, a post she has held since 2004. Smith works with the team’s pitchers and catchers and also coordinates recruiting. From 1998-2002, Smith served as an assistant coach at UNC, helping lead the 2001 Carolina squad to its first Atlantic Coast Conference title and first NCAA Tournament appearance. Since rejoining the staff in 2004, the team has not failed to reach the NCAA tournament. Star pitchers Radara McHugh and Crystal Cox are just two pupils to thrive under Smith’s tutelage. McHugh was an All-Region and two-time All-ACC performer, including being named MVP of the 2001 ACC Tournament. Cox, in addition to being named All-Region and All-ACC (twice), was selected as a 2006 All-America. Last year was a banner year for Smith and her staff as the Tar Heels ranked fifth in the nation in earned run average (1.12) thanks in large part to NFCA All-America Danielle Spaulding and NFCA All-Southeast Region honoree Lisa Norris. Spaulding and Norris posted identical 0.97 ERAs, with Spaulding sporting a 16-3 record and Norris notching 17 wins with just five losses. Following her graduation from UNC in 1994 with a double major in speech communications and political science, Smith coached Episcopal High School in Bellaire, Texas, to state championships in 1995, ’97 and ’98 and a state runner-up finish in 1996. Born Dec. 30, 1971, in Asheboro, N.C., and raised in Houston, Smith worked from 1994-96 as the marketing BEVERLY SMITH coordinator for the University of Houston athletic department. In 1997, she played and served as an assistant coach for the Tampa Bay FireStix of the Women’s Pro Softball League. A standout player for Carolina from 1991-94, Smith became the first Tar Heel to earn Atlantic Coast Conference ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH Player of the Year honors in 1994. She also earned All-Southeast Region honors that season. She still ranks among CAROLINA (‘94) the program’s top 10 in numerous career batting and pitching categories including RBI’s (second), triples (second), total bases (fourth), complete-game shutouts (fourth), ERA (fifth), slugging percentage (sixth) and innings pitched 10TH YEAR AT CAROLINA (sixth). In 2002, she was honored as one of the top 50 softball players in ACC history.

Janelle Breneman is entering her fIfth season as an assistant coach at Carolina. Formerly the head coach at Bucknell University, Breneman assists with the Tar Heels offense and oversees the UNC infielders. In 2008, Carolina had the top ranked defense in the ACC and were ranked eighth in the nation. Breneman also oversees the program’s camps and clinics. Breneman along with the Carolina softball players have been selected in 2006 and 2007 to serve as NCAA YES Softball Clinic clinicians at the Collge World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. At Bucknell, Breneman was the 2004 Patriot League Coach of the Year after leading the Bison to the conference tournament for the first time since 2000. Prior to her successful run at Bucknell, Breneman spent five years as the head coach at Division II East Stroudsburg University. A 1992 graduate of Bloomsburg University, Breneman was a Division II All-America at shortstop and a three-time All-PSAC first team selection while earning a bachelor’s degree in adult health/cardiac rehab. Following her collegiate career, she played two seasons for the Georgia Pride of the Women’s Professional Fastpitch softball league, starting at shortstop and second base. In the fall of 2006, Breneman was inducted into the Bloomsburg University Athletic Hall of Fame. Breneman is a native of Ephrata, Pa., where she was inducted into the Ephrata High Hall of Fame in 2001. JANELLE BRENEMAN

Natalie Anter is not only the first Tar Heel to play on softball’s biggest stage, the Olympics – she had a critical role in ensuring that she got just that chance. A dual citizen of the U.S. and Italy, Anter hit a three-run home run for the Italian National Team in the final game of the Africa/Europe Olympic Qualifier to lead Italy to a 9-2 win over the Czech Republic. That gave Anter and Italy a spot in the eight- team Olympic field for the 2004 Athens Games – and gave Carolina its first softball Olympian. A four-year starter at catcher for the Tar Heels from 1999-2002, Anter earned All-Southeast Region and All-ACC honors in each year of her career. She still holds several UNC career records, including home runs (34), RBI (164) and walks (84), and was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Team as one of the top 50 players in conference history. A communications major and history minor at Caro- lina, Anter now works as a pharmaceutical representative for Merck.

His program in- corporates the most up-to-date science and training techniques – including exercises like those shown bottom right – to help athletes reach their peak competitive capacity.

Steve Gisselman, assistant director of strength and conditioning, heads the direction of the softball team’s work- outs. In his time working with softball, Gisselman has modified and enhanced the strength and conditioning program based on the team’s unique athletic needs. The primary focus of his program is to maintain a team that is injury resistant, focusing on preventing a ma- jority of the commonly experienced injuries in softball. Of course, enhancing each athlete’s individual performance on the field is another primary objective of Gisselman’s training plan. All of the athletic traits inherent to softball, and sport in general, are targeted by his strength and conditioning program. Speed, agility, functional strength, and softball-specific power are a few of the athletic com- ponents Gisselman focuses on when designing his programs for the team. Sonya Bright 1990-93

• Is a registered dental hygien- ist in Charlotte, N.C. after serving as the Queens University softball head coach the last two years.

• “My experience at UNC was rewarding and challenging at the same time. I was given an opportunity to play a sport I had never played before and to earn a degree, as a dental hygien- ist. Both have been a part of my life ever since. Coach Papa taught me the value of hard work and believed in me not only as a student-athlete but as a person. I will never forget that.”

Jaclyn Holden 2003-05

• Currently works as a sales representative in the osteoporosis business unit for Eli Lilly in Santa Barbara, Calif.

• “In all honesty, it is amaz- ing that all the tough lessons I learned on the softball field transfer into sales. Dealing with rejection, persevering, performing under pressure are the things I learned and refined at Carolina--and are the fundamentals in my daily life. In short: THANK YOU!”

Michelle Semmes 1998-2001

• Is a registered nurse and also a clinical nurse III at UNC Hospitals in the surgical/trauma intensive care unit.

• “It was a tremendous honor to represent this prestigious institu- tion with such a distinguished athletic tradition. Being from North Carolina, I dreamed of playing softball for UNC since I was a little girl. I started coming to Coach Papa’s softball camps when I was in middle school and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to ful- fill that dream. I’m very proud to be a part of the Caro- lina Softball family. Coach Papa and Beverly were always supportive and encouraging and completely dedicated to the team. They were always available for the players and would do anything for them. My teammates remain some of my dearest friends. I still enjoy sharing old stories from my days playing with teammates and former players. I’m so proud to have represented this school and wear the Caro- lina uniform. It was an experience that I’ll always cherish.”

It can be in the tie that you wear to work, or the swoosh on your tennis shoes. It can be in the paint you choose for your family room, or on the car that you drive. It can be in the ﬂag you hang from your front porch, or that championship t-shirt you wear to the gym. It’s in all of us. We show it in different ways, but eventually it comes out – that streak of Carolina Blue deep inside us that drives our passion for the Tar Heels.
