“Dear Friends of Union University Athletics

Thank you so much for your support of Union University athletics. A commitment to excellence is one of our four core values across the University best demonstrated in our numerous quality academic programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. For 16 straight years, Union has been listed as a Top Tier University in the South by U. S. News and World Report. One of the fastest growing private institutions in the entire South, Union University continues to make strides in all aspects of our work, and athletics is no excep- tion.

Following numerous successful years in the TranSouth Con- ference and in the NAIA, the Union Athletic Department this year will begin anew in the Gulf South Conference. The Gulf South is one of the strongest conferences in Division II of the NCAA. Your encouragement for our coaches and athletic department leaders during this time of transition will be greatly appreciated. We thanks your for your support for the distinc- tive mission of Union University.”

Cordially,

Tommy Sadler began working at Union in 1985, but started his time as the Director of Athletics in 2009. Sadler was named to this position after serving the 2008-09 year as the acting athletics director. He follows in the footsteps of Dr. David Blackstock, who had been Union’s Athletic Director for the past 34 years.

Sadler, a native of Jackson, is a 1972 graduate of South Side High School and a 1976 graduate of Union University. During his time at Union, Sadler played four years of baseball for the Bulldogs. In 1981, he received his Master of Education from the University of Memphis.

His tenure at Union began in 1985 as director of public relations. After a year in that role, he became the university’s director of corporate and foundation support, a position he held for 10 years. In 1996, Sadler then moved into his previous role as associate director of athletics. Sadler earned the Union University Staff Member of the Year in 1994.

Sadler has also been very active in athletics at the conference level. He is beginning his eighth year as the president of the TranSouth Conference, of which Union is a member. Prior to this time as president, he served the conference as its vice president.

“Tommy Sadler has faithfully served Union University in a variety of ways through the years, but his key contribution has been in his work with the athletic department,” Dockery said. “He is respected by all of our coaches, by those who support the athletic program and by the leadership of the university. At this transitional time in the life of our athletic department, I know of no one better to help us chart a future course for that department than Tommy Sadler.” Tommy Sadler Director of Athletics Sadler and his wife Michelle, a teacher in the Jackson-Madison County School District, make their home in Jackson. 1050 Union University Drive Jackson, TN 38305 Phone: 731-661-5218 Email: [email protected]

Union University Women’s Basketball Media Guide • www.uuathletics.com | www.facebook.com/UUAthletics | www.twitter.com/UUAthletics 10 UNION UNIVERSITY season outlook The Union University women’s basketball team brought to an end one of the greatest eras of women’s college basketball this past season when they played for the final time as a member of the NAIA. Now Union will look to continue to be a quality women’s basketball program at the NCAA DII level. This season and next season, Union will be playing as a candidacy member as the school works to become a full NCAA member in 2014-15. Union returns seven players from last season’s conference title and national runner-up team, mostly underclassmen are included in those returning. However, the Lady Bulldogs lost two starters including the NAIA National Player of the Year, Lavanda Ross. Three seniors will lead this Union squad in 2012-13 including Rebecca Sharpe and Paige Parker. Both are returning from last season. Sharpe played in all 38 games, starting 33 times for Union as she averaged five points per game and made 52 3-pointers on the season. Parker played in 25 games, starting five time early in the season and averaged 2.8 points per game. Hope Adams Curtis is a senior after sitting out last season. In 2010-11 for Union, Adams played in 37 games, averaging 8.6 points per game. The junior class also has three players. LaTesa McLaughlin and Shelby Ashcraft are both back after solid sophomore seasons. McLaughlin was named an NAIA All-American, all-conference and was the conference defensive player of the year. McLaughlin started all 36 of her games played last season, averaging 5.8 points and 4.1 assists per game. Ashcraft was the league’s newcomer of the year and all-conference selection, averaging 9.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Christina Coney is playing her first season for Union after redshirting last season with the Lady Bulldogs. Union has four sophomores on the roster this season, three of which are returning from contributing as freshmen. Amy Philam- lee, Astrid Huttemann and Emily Sissom are all returning. Philam- lee was named the conference freshman of the year last season, averaging 9.1 points per game and making 55 3-pointers, while playing in all 38 games for Union. Huttemann joined Philamlee on the all-freshman team, averaging 7.3 points and making 74 3-pointers. Sissom played in 27 games, averaging 2.9 points and making 26 threes. Amber Rechis transferred to Union this season from Florida Gulf Coast University, but is a former West Tennessee standout at Martin Westview High School. Four freshman close out the roster Kelsey Risner, Chelsea Bodiford, Carly Daniel, and Grace Fern are all playing their first year. Daniel is a transfer from Belmont University where she was a redshirt player last season. Union head coach Mark Campbell left the NAIA with the highest winning percentage among coach with at least five years of experi- ence. Also, last season, he reached 400 career wins faster than any coach in women’s college basketball at the NCAA or NAIA levels. He and his staff, made up of assistant coach Kayla Hudson and graduate assistant coach Janna Rony will work to mesh this team together. Union will complete in a NCAA DII schedule, including a full Gulf South Conference schedule. Union will not be able to compete for conference or NCAA postseason tournament championships for the next two seasons.

Union University Women’s Basketball Media Guide • www.uuathletics.com | www.facebook.com/UUAthletics | www.twitter.com/UUAthletics 23 UNION UNIVERSITY Gulf South Conference GSC HISTORY Academic excellence and a leadership role in the NCAA’s Division II make the Gulf South Conference (GSC) something GSC COMMISSIONERS special. The GSC is a charter Division II member and enters Nate Salant (1992-Present) its 43rd year as one of the premier conferences at any NCAA Sonny Moran (1987-1992) level. Ralph McFillen (1984-1987) Hayden Riley (1982-1984) In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to talk Jim McCullough (1979-1982) about athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league Stan Galloway (1971-1979) emerged—the Mid-South Conference—started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. It is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross GSC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS - 1971-2012 (46) country, men’s & women’s soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s BASEBALL (6) tennis, men’s & women’s golf, softball and baseball) so bitterly contested in a collegial manner. West Florida (2011) Delta State (2004) From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Dating back Troy State (1986, 87) to 1997, the league has found neutral sites paying sizeable guarantees for most of its team Jacksonville State (1990, 91) championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or -inspired legislation. No one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased MEN’S BASKETBALL (3) its own built-to-its-specification office space. But the crowning moment came in 2005-06, when North Alabama (1979, 91) the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package which included nine football games Jacksonville State (1985) (now 10) and its men’s & women’s basketball tournament finals. Add to that the newly branded of “GSC DigiNet” video platform and the broadbanding of most of its championships and you WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (7) can see why the GSC is a Conference paving the way into the 21st century. Delta State (1975, 76, 77, 89, 90, 92) Southeastern Louisiana (1977*) The GSC takes pride in their 46 National Team Championships in 13 sports and more than 100 regional titles, especially because there is no sacrifice on the academic side, where GSC student- FOOTBALL (10) athletes regularly earn Academic All-America. Three GSC teams advanced to NCAA Title contests Delta State (2000) in 2011-12, led by Valdosta State which claimed the league’s first-ever Softball Crown. North Alabama (1993, ‘94, ‘95) Valdosta State (2004, ‘07) Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Jacksonville State, Livingston (now West West Alabama (1971) Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Troy State were the charter GSC members. Scheduling Jacksonville State (1992) problems for the 1970-71 academic year limited the GSC to football, won by Jacksonville Troy State (1984, ‘87) State. In 1971, the addition of Southeast Louisiana (SELA) and Nichols State increased the membership to eight. The league opened an office in Hammond, LA, changed its name to the MEN’S GOLF (5) Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College and Troy State (1976, ‘77, ‘84) Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later, West Florida (2001, ‘08) NELA left for Division I with SELA and Nicholls State following in 1979. WOMEN’S GOLF (3) The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State, Troy State (1984, ‘86, ‘89) followed by West Georgia (1983). In 1991, Tennessee-Martin and Troy State went Division I, briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members. An aggressive expansion under the guidance WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS (2) of new Commissioner Nate Salant resulted in 10 new members: Lincoln Memorial (1992-93); Jacksonville State (1984, ‘85) Alabama-Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women (1993-94); West Florida (1994-95); and Arkansas-Monticello, Arkansas Tech, Montevallo and HOCKEY (2) Southern Arkansas (1995-96). Jacksonville State moved to Division I at the end of 1992-93. Alabama-Huntsville (1996, ‘98) Mississippi College dropped to Division III at the end of 1995-96, and was replaced by Christian Brothers to keep the Conference at 16 schools. In July 2000, the GSC welcomed Harding WOMEN’S SOCCER (1) University and Ouachita Baptist University, making it the largest NCAA conference at any Christian Brothers (2002) level with 18 schools. MUW dropped its athletics program at the end of the 2002-03 season, decreasing the membership to 17. The Conference decreased to 15 teams in 2006-07 when SOFTBALL (1) Central Arkansas reclassified to Division I and Lincoln Memorial moved to the South Atlantic Valdosta State (2012) Conference, then 14 after Montevallo departed to the Peach Belt Conference. MEN’S TENNIS (4) The GSC dropped divisional play after the 2010-11 season when its six Arkansas members broke Valdosta State (2006, ‘11) away, dropping the membership to eight. The Conference did not wait long to implement an West Florida (2004, ‘05) aggressive expansion plan, sponsoring the Division II applications of Union University (TN) and Shorter University (GA), which were accepted into the NCAA reclassifying process in July of TRACK (1) 2011, and will enter as GSC provisional members in the 2012-13 season. The GSC took another Southeastern Louisiana (1975) step in bolstering its membership this summer, backing the Division II application of Lee University (TN) which was accepted by the NCAA in July of 2012. The league also bolstered its WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL (1) football membership when it agreed to add Florida Tech as a football-only member beginning in North Alabama (2003) 2013. Current members in BOLD; Former Commissioner Jim McCullough brought the GSC office to Birmingham. Current *--Small College Division Champion Commissioner, Nate Salant began his tenure in October, 1992.

JACKSON, Tenn. - 3/23/2010 - Union (Tenn.) University claimed its second consecutive NAIA Division I Women’s Basketball National Championship with a 73-65 victory over Azusa Pacific (Calif.) University. The Lady Bulldogs shot 15-of-30 (0.500) in the second half and 5-of-10 (0.500) from behind the arc to pull away from the Cougars down the stretch.

The first half of the game was back and forth, featuring 11 ties and five lead changes. After matching baskets for most of the half, Union took its largest lead with 5:45 remaining before intermission. Ashley Lillard knocked down two free throws to give Union a 25-20 advantage. C.J. Hill would answer for Azusa Pacific just 10 seconds later drilling a 3-pointer to bring the Cougars back within two points. Kristie Hala’ufia scored off of a Union turnover less than 30 seconds later to tie the score at 25-25 with 5:03 remaining in the half. Neither squad took more than a two point lead the rest of the half and entered the intermission knotted at 33-33.

APU knocked down 14-of-25 (0.560) shots in the first half, while Union shot just 11-of-32 (0.344) from the field. It was the Lady Bulldogs dominance on the glass that kept the game close in the first half. Union out-rebounded Azusa 12-4 on the offensive glass in the first half, leading to 13 second chance points.

Union jumped out to a quick lead in the second half, starting with a 7-0 run keyed by a Kaitlin Dudley 3-pointer, a basket by Zeinab Chan and two Jessica Graves free throws. Azusa pulled back within two points on Hala’ufia’s lay-in with 16:53 remaining and took a two-point lead at the 13:10 mark on Michelle Byrd’s 3-point basket. It would be Azusa’s only lead of the second half, as the Lady Bull- dogs went on a 15-2 run over the next 5:30 to take a 60-49 lead. Kayla Hudson keyed the run knocking down three 3-point field goals during that span. The closest Azusa would get the rest of the way was a five-point deficit, 70-65, with 17 seconds remaining. Hudson and Dudley sealed the victory for Union, knocking down free throws in the final seconds for a 73-65 win.

Union out-rebounded the Cougars 40-26 overall in the game, 18-6 on the offensive end, which led to the Lady Bulldogs outscoring Azusa 16-7 in second chance points.

Tournament MVP, Zeinab Chan, led the Lady Bulldogs with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Kayla Hudson and LaVanda Ross scored 14 points each and Jessica Graves added 10 points. All-Tournament First Team member Kaitlin Dudley scored seven points.

Union moves into a tie for second place with Oklahoma City and Southwestern Oklahoma with five national championships. The Lady Bulldogs passed Southern Nazarene (Okla.) for first place in all- time tournament wins with 59.

Union (Tenn.) Wins Fourth NAIA Title With 73-63 Win

JACKSON, Tenn. - 3/24/2009 - No. 1-seeded Union (Tenn.) University claimed its fourth NAIA Division I women’s basketball championship with a 73-63 victory over one of the tournament’s other No. 1 seeds, Lambuth (Tenn.) University, Tuesday night at Oman Arena. Two-time NAIA Player of the Year Josephine Owino led the Lady Bulldogs with 27 points, nine rebounds and five blocks in a game Union never trailed.

Owino scored the game’s first four points, and back-to-back three-pointers from Kayla Hudson and Kaitlin Dudley capped a game-opening 15-3 run for Union. The Lady Bulldogs ran the first-half lead up to 13 points three separate times before Chytearra Kintchen scored five straight points to spark a 12-3 Lambuth run that cut Union’s lead to 29-25 with 1:22 to play before halftime. However, Dudley knocked down a triple with 1:03 left, and Hudson hit a trey with less than 10 seconds to give the Lady Bulldogs a 35-25 halftime lead.

A pair of Kintchen free throws early in the second half pulled Lambuth to within six points at 43-37, but Owino answered with back-to-back buckets that started a 16-6 run that gave Union its largest lead of the game, 59-43, with 9:34 to play. Lambuth twice cut the lead to nine points, but Union answered both times on the ensuing possession to push the lead back into double digits to hold off the Eagles for the victory.

Dudley was four-for-eight from three-point range, and she scored 12 of her 18 points in the second half for Union. Hudson registered 11 points with a pair of treys, and she dished out a game-high six assists. Union posted identical 13-for-28 (.464) shooting in each half, and the Lady Bulldogs hit six-of-14 on three-pointers.

Union (37-1) has now won each of its past four NAIA title game appearances, and the Lady Bulldogs are now 54-16 all-time in NAIA Tournament play. Over the past five seasons, Union is 21-2 in the national tournament. Union Women Win Second Straight NAIA National Title

JACKSON, Tenn. - March 21, 2006 - The Union University Lady Bulldogs claimed their second straight NAIA Women’s Basketball National Championship and third in program history on Tuesday night with a 79-62 win over Lubbock Christian University (Texas).

With the win, Union capped off its sixth straight 30-plus win season with a 31-6 record. Lubbock Christian ended its run with a 23-12 record.

For Union, this extends its national tournament winning streak to 10 games. In those 10 games, Union has won eight by double figures and has posted a two- year tournament scoring margin of plus 15.9 points.

The Lady Bulldogs were led by Owino who posted her second straight double-double of the tournament with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Natanya Smith added 16 points and 14 rebounds, and Daniels added 10 points. In a tournament where Union’s three-point shooting (43 percent) was so prevalent, it was Owino and Smith’s combined 40 points and 24 rebounds in the post that sealed Union’s second straight NAIA crown in the title game.

Union’s Owino, Daniels, and Merideth Richardson were each named to the NAIA All-Tournament Team. Seven-year head coach and the NAIA’s active winningest coach, Mark Campbell, was named the NAIA Coach of the Year for the second straight season. Union Lady Bulldogs Win NAIA National Championship

Union led 30-29 at halftime and then stretched that lead to 17 points (59-42) with just over 11 minutes remaining in the game. Oklahoma City slowly crept back and pulled to within two points with 27 seconds left. Union held that two-point lead as Ena Daniels, a 64% free-throw shooter for the year, stepped to the line and made both free throws with eight second remaining.
