// 2010 Blue Hose women’s Soccer // 1


Presbyterian College women’s soccer enters the 2010 season with a 

healthy stable of returning student-athletes to go along with exciting new 

freshman talent. Head coach Brian Purcell returns for his 22nd season in 

charge of the Blue Hose while new assistant coach Samar Azem begins her PC 

coaching career. The Blue Hose will look to rebound following last season’s 

3-12-2 record. 

FORWARDS 

On the Blue Hose attack, three student-athletes return from last year’s 

squad including the top goal scorer, Kate Baker. In 2009, the striker closed 

the season with three goals. “Kate is just a natural goalscorer,” said Purcell. 

“She has been one of our most dangerous scoring threats over the last 

three years.” Joining the senior on attack is junior Lauren Snyder. “Lauren 

is simply an athlete,” said Purcell. “She is fast, can change directions well 

and can defend stronger than most other strikers.” 

Sophomore Kylie Mills played in all 17 games last season and started 

three. “Kylie had a great spring for us this year,” said Purcell. “She is a 

physically strong attacker who can deal with the physical challenges of 

other players better than anyone else on the team.” Joining the forwards 

this season is freshman Sara Simpson. The Columbia, S.C., native is a quick 

player that can be very dangerous. “Sara is a very talented student-athlete,” 

said Purcell. “She’s as clever with the ball at her feet as anyone else on our 

team.” 

MIDFIELD 

The midfield corps is headlined by senior Stephanie Aaron who led the 

team with four assists last season. “Stephanie is one of our fastest players 

and came into camp in great physical shape,” said Purcell. “When she is at 

her best, she really makes us a better team.” Senior Katie Hunter also works 

in the midfield. “Katie has fought injury her whole career, but when she is 

healthy, she can be one of our best players,” said Purcell.

2010 PREVIEW 

Moving from the backline into the midfield this season is senior Melanie 

Martin. “We’re really excited to see Melanie move into a more attacking 

role on a full-time basis,” said Purcell. “She is a fast and athletic player that 

can wreak havoc in the attacking third.” Another senior vying for playing 

time is Meghan Skinner. The Mt. Pleasant, S.C., native will get to play in 

her hometown this season as PC plays twice at the College of Charleston. 

“Meghan is a very smart and skillful player who is a great team leader,” said 

Purcell. “She does a great job of putting the team first and working hard 

whether in practice or in games.” 

Junior Morgan Fragapane returns in the midfield with one goal last year 

to her name. “Morgan is one of our most talented kids,” said Purcell. “Her 

energy level is a real value for the team. She plays with a reckless abandon 

which inspires her teammates.” Alice Blackwell is one of PC’s most versatile 

players, garnering playing time both in the midfield and in defense. “Alice 

really is one of the rock steady players on our team,” said Purcell. “She is 

smart, a technically sound player and doesn’t make mistakes which is a great 

quality to have.” 

Sarah Kustick saw limited time last year as a freshman, but has worked 

to improve her game. “Sarah worked hard to improve more than anyone 

else on the team over the spring and summer,” said Purcell. “She has made 

great strides in her distribution skills and can become a key player in the 

future for the Blue Hose.” Freshman Emily Boggus will look to break into the 

midfield lineup this year. “Emily has a little bit of everything,” said Purcell. 

“She is quick, skillful, fit and smart.” 

Sophomore Abi Thompson is recovering from an injury sustained during 

the spring season and will hope to be cleared in the middle portions of the 

season.

2010 PREVIEW 

DEFENSE 

Despite the loss of senior captain Rachel Lamb, the Blue Hose return 

one of their most experienced players in program history in Renee Ballew. 

She has played nearly every minute in her career at PC. “Renee is one of 

the most vocal leaders on our team,” said Purcell. “She is very quick and 

tackles very well. We are very excited about how fit she is coming into camp.” 

Jessica Kramer is a junior from Acworth, Ga., who played in 16 matches 

last season. “Jessica is a hard working, very fit and tenacious player,” said 

Purcell. “She has improved her skills since the end of last season and those 

improved skills can really help us this season.” 

Sophomore Townley Cheek played 14-games last season as a freshman 

and will serve as the SAAC representative for the team. “Townley always 

seems to be at her best when the big games start,” said Purcell. “She has a 

very high success rate in completing passes and winning tackles.” 

Five of the Blue Hose freshmen are defenders and are led by Brittany 

Whitson. “Brittany is one of the most composed players on the ball that 

we’ve had on our team in some time,” said Purcell. “She has a terrific 

physique for the game and a great skill set.” Tori Lopez is a very experienced 

at playing at a high level from her club career. “Her experience shows up 

in her play,” said Purcell. “She makes great decisions on the field and will 

fight for playing time immediately.” 

Stephanie Allen is an Augusta, Ga., native player that can compete 

in defense and in the midfield. “Stephanie is a strong, smart and skillful 

player,” said Purcell. “She will also be another option on free and corner 

kicks.” Rebecca Miller is a versatile player that can help out in the attack. 

“Rebecca is one of our strongest players physically,” said Purcell. “I’m excited 

to see how she will fit into the squad.” Mariana Anderson comes to the Blue 

Hose from Anderson, S.C., after a prep career at T.L. Hannah H.S. “Mariana 

is a really intense competitor,” said Purcell. “She is a hard worker and very 

driven to improve. She has the tools to be a very good defender.”

GOALKEEPERS 

Sarah Beth Anderson returns in goal with experience after the junior 

split time a year ago. “Sarah Beth is one of our captains and a leader within 

the team,” said Purcell. “She is probably the best shot-stopper that I’ve 

coached in my 22 years. She has the ability to keep us in games singlehandedly.” 

Freshman Jordan Broadway joins PC in goal from Chapin, S.C. “Jordan 

had a great preseason and has exceeded our expectations of her,” said 

Purcell. “She is a great athlete in addition to being a great goalkeeper. She 

played basketball in high school and also saw time as a field player on the 

pitch. She has a great game sense and has been a very pleasant surprise in 

camp this year.” 

The 2010 schedule is one of the toughest in school history as the Blue 

Hose will visit Clemson and host Navy in the season’s opening weekend. 

Trips to College of Charleston, Wofford and Eastern Kentucky dot the nonconference 

schedule to go along with home contests against North Florida 

and local rival Furman. Ten of PC’s 19 games will be played at Martin Stadium 

and five Big South games taking place in Clinton. 

“We’ve picked up some exciting, big games,” said Purcell. We visit 

Clemson and Davidson, but Navy and North Florida will come to Clinton. 

We’ve got some local rivalry games on the schedule (Furman, Wofford and 

Francis Marion). That is all in addition to our league season where every 

game is a barnburner.”

wins. 

Under Purcell’s guidance, the Blue Hose had 

their best year in the history of the program in 

1999. The 15-2-1 squad spent a week at No. 

1 on the NSCAA/adidas rankings and finished 

eighth in the Coaches Poll. PC captured its sixth

2009 Season review 

Abby 

Young 

Emily 

Davis 

Presbyterian College’s third season of transition to NCAA Division I play on 

the soccer pitch was one of the toughest in the program’s 22 year history. The 

2009 Blue Hose only scored 13 goals on the year en route to posting three wins 

and a pair of draws. 

The campaign began on August 28 with a trip to Furman’s historic Stone Stadium. 

The Paladins sprinted out to a 4-0 lead after 54 minutes before the Blue 

Hose could break into the scoring column. On 56 minutes, Kate Baker bested the 

Furman goalkeeper from 23-yards. Two more Furman goals in the waning minutes 

put the Paladins up 6-1 in the final minute. With just 19 seconds remaining in the 

game, Emily Davis ripped a shot from 26-yards and into the net. 

Three days later, PC hosted the College of Charleston Cougars for the home 

opener for the Blue Hose. Charleston took an early lead in the 14th minute but 

PC found the equalizer on 43 minutes with a gifted goal from the Cougars. Rachel 

Lamb delivered a free kick into the box which was headed into the net by the 

Cougar defense. The own goal would prove to be PC’s only gift of the season. The 

teams remained level through most of the second half until Charleston scored the 

game winner in the 80th minute to take the 2-1 win. 

On September 4, the Blue Hose made the four hour trek south to face the 

Mercer Bears. The Bears took a strangle hold on the game early with goals in the 

8th, 14th and 23rd minute to go up 3-0 early. Britney Horton brought PC back 

to two-goals down in the 25th minute. The PC defense held tough until Mercer 

scored twice in short order in the 70th and 72nd minutes. Mercer took the 5-1 to 

give the Blue Hose a 0-3 start. 

Following the tough defeat at Mercer, PC returned home on Sept. 8 for a tilt 

with in-state rival South Carolina State. PC took the lead in the fourth minute with 

a goal off the boot of Tricia Bryan. The senior got free on a breakaway and buried 

the shot from 12-yards. The Blue Hose went two goals up just after the ten minute 

mark when Kate Baker scored her second goal of the year. Bryan’s cross came to 

Baker who finished from 10-yards. The Bulldogs would score an 18th minute goal 

before the game would be suspended for over two hours due to a thunderstorm at 

31:32. The Blue Hose successfully defended the game playing the final 68 minutes 

with ten players. A second red card would take PC to just nine in the final minute. 

Despite the reduced strength, the PC defense held tough and earned its first win 

of the year by a 2-1 margin. 

Following its first win of the year, PC extended the winning streak to twogames 

on Sept. 11 against The Citadel. The one goal of the match came in the 57th 

minute when Emily Davis made a run through the Bulldog defense to ultimately 

score the game winning foal from the edge of the six-yard box. Goalkeepers Abby 

Young and Sara Beth Anderson would combine for the shutout with each netminder 

working 45 minutes between the pipes. 

The winning streak would come to an end two days later against Francis 

Marion. The Patriots scored the 1-0 win with a goal on the stroke of the halftime 

whistle. The Blue Hose outshot FMU in the game but could not score the much 

needed goal to fall to 2-4 on the year. 

On Sept. 17, I-26 rival Wofford came to Martin Stadium for an important 

match. The teams were scoreless for the first 78 minutes but it was Morgan Fragapane’s 

79th minute goal that gave the Blue Hose the 1-0 victory. Alice Blackwell 

chipped in for the assist as Fragapane scored the goal from 26-yards off the crossbar. 

For the second time on the season, Young and Anderson shared the shutout 

as they each made three saves in the outing. 

Three days later, PC traveled to face Clemson in a Sunday afternoon matinee 

on a rainy afternoon. The Tigers scored in the 33rd and 90th minutes to go along 

with a 50th minute PC own goal to take the 3-0 victory over the Blue Hose. 

League play opened as the calendar switched to October on the road against 

VMI. Two Keydet goals in the 80th and 85th minutes gave VMI the victory. Two 

days later, the road trip continued as PC took on Radford. The Highlanders secured 

victory late with an 85th minute game winning goal. The losses gave the Blue Hose 

a 0-2 league play start and a 3-7 record overall. 

The Blue Hose fell to 0-3 in league play on Oct. 10, falling 3-0 on the road at 

UNC Asheville. Goals in the 30th, 38th and 85th minutes gave the Bulldogs the 

victory, their first of the league season. 

Six days later, PC earned its first result of the league season with a 2-2 draw 

against Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers scored in the 31st and 38th minutes 

to take the 2-0 lead into the halftime interval. Katie Hunter opened her season 

scoring account in the 56th minute when she got on the end of Stephanie Aaron’s 

corner kick. The striker doubled her season tally in the 80th minute when she put 

away a rebounded shot. Hunter’s brace, combined from stellar Blue Hose defense 

down the stretch gave PC its first draw of the season. 

On Oct. 18, PC continued its homestand with a meeting with Charleston 

Southern. The Blue Hose opened the match with a pair of quick goals. Kate Baker 

opened the scoring in the fifth minute when she finished Stephanie Aaron’s corner 

kick. Tricia Bryan matched the feat in the 10th minute with another goal off 

Aaron’s corner. The Bucs rallied with a goal in the 36th minute to cut the lead to 

2-1. A goal just before the break leveled the teams at 2-2. CSU waited just 83 

seconds after the intermission to take the 3-2 decision. 

PC returned to the road on Oct. 23 against Gardner-Webb. Gardner-Webb 

scored both of its goals in the 2-0 win in the first half. Two days later, PC visited 

Winthrop for a Sunday afternoon against the Eagles. Winthrop earned the 3-0 win 

as PC registered just four total shots with none on goal. 

As the season’s final weekend began, PC too to the field against High Point. 

The Panthers scored in the 62nd minute a goal which looked to be enough for the 

win. Britney Horton spoiled the Panther party in the 88th minute with an equalizer 

to force overtime. The teams were even through the first overtime period but 

after just 3:21 in the second extra frame; High Point scored the winning goal. 

The season finale was played on November 1st at home against the Liberty 

Flames. PC’s defense played its strongest to close the year as the Blue Hose held 

the regular season Big South Champions to a 0-0 draw. The combined clean sheet 

was the third of the season for PC’s goalkeeping tandem as they combined for six 

saves. Liberty outshot PC 24-14 with only a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal. The 

result gave PC a 3-12-2 overall record and an 0-7-2 league mark. 

Kate Baker won PC’s golden boot award with three goals on the season. She 

was followed in the standings with Emily Davis, Katie Hunter, Tricia Bryan and Britney 

Horton with two goals each. Top assist award went to Stephanie Aaron with 

four assists on the year. In goal, Abby Young and Sara Beth Anderson split time 

between the pipes. Young posted a 2.40 goals against average while Anderson 

held opponents to a 1.58 GAA allowing just 12 goals in 15 games.

Administration 

Dr. Jo h n V. 

Gr i f f i t h 

Dr. John V. Griffith, a 1969 graduate of 

Dickinson College, begins his 12th year as 

President of Presbyterian College. Griffith 

became the 16th president of PC on 

Jan. 1, 1998, replacing Dr. Kenneth B. Orr who retired after guiding the college 

for 18 years. Griffith was inaugurated on Oct. 10, 1998, as part of Homecoming 

festivities. 

Griffith continues to guide Presbyterian College through the new strategic plan 

which will take PC through the first decade of the 21st century. Griffith helped the 

institution celebrate its 125th anniversary during the academic year in 2005-06. 

Griffith came to PC after spending his previous 20 years of service at several 

colleges in different capacities. He began his work at the college level in 1977, 

when he was hired as a lecturer at the University of Syracuse. Prior to his time at 

Syracuse, Griffith served as a chaplain at the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Mass., 

from 1972-76 and as a minister at the Village Baptist Church in Sherbune, N.Y., 

from 1976-78. He served as a lecturer at Syracuse University for one year before 

accepting a job at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., where he was 

an associate director for Project Choice, a $150,000 project on student consumer 

protection. 

He moved on to Davidson College in Davidson, N.C., in 1979, where he was 

hired as Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid and a member of the faculty. He 

served in this capacity for the next six years before being named Vice President 

for Institutional Advancement in 1985. During the next four years, Griffith helped 

develop Project MATCH, a $150,000 project directed at intellectual development 

College president // 13th Year 

and college admissions. While at Davidson, he was also instrumental in the 

development of Love of Learning, an intervention program directed at African- 

American youth. 

Griffith continued his work at Davidson College until 1989, when he was named 

president of Arkansas College, a private liberal arts college in Batesville, Ark., which 

later changed its name to Lyon College. He served as president of Lyon, a PCUSArelated 

school, for eight years before coming to PC. 

Throughout his career, Griffith has served on numerous committees and 

councils, including the executive committee of the Association of Presbyterian 

Colleges and Universities and the Governor’s Advisory Board of Technology and 

Telecommunications for the State of Arkansas. He is an active board member of 

the Laurens County Economic Development Corporation and was honored as its 

2003 Man of the Year. He is an honorary board member of the Upstate Alliance, 

and a gubernatorial appointment to the South Carolina Commission on Higher 

Education. He also serves on the board of directors for the National Association of 

Independent Colleges and Universities. 

Griffith graduated cum laude from Dickinson College in 1969 with a bachelor’s 

degree in Religion, receiving the Hoffstatder Award as the most outstanding 

senior. He later graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1972 

with a Master’s of Divinity degree, being named valedictorian and baccalaureate 

speaker of his class. Griffith received his Ph.D. degree in Intellectual Development 

from the University of Syracuse in 1980. 

He and his wife, the former Nancy Shell, are the parents of two sons: Matthew, 

a graduate of Davidson College, and Chris, a graduate of Dickinson College. 

WHAT IS A BLUE HOSE? 

“A Blue Hose is a fierce Scotch-Irish warrior. If you have ever seen the movie Braveheart, you have seen a true Blue Hose.” 

Despite this depiction, it still has been asked many times where Presbyterian College received its Blue Hose nickname. Several rumors exist and 

Ray Frank in his book, “What’s In A Nickname” delved into the subject. Frank discovered that there were many opinions. One story had it that the 

Presbyterian Scotch-Irish wore blue stockings in the Puritan beginnings of our country. Another said that a fierce war-like band of Scotch-Irish named 

the Hose painted their entire bodies blue before going into battle. Yet, probably the true story lies in a letter dated June 15, 1935, written by then PC 

athletic director Walter Johnson to an inquiring English professor in Virginia ... (quoting from Walter Johnson’s letter) ‘It was about the second or third 

year, 1915, if I remember right. I think it happened this way: I changed uniform colors to blue, wearing blue stockings and jerseys, and some sports 

writer started calling in his articles the Presbyterian College teams the Blue Stockings.” ... in later years “Stocking” became abbreviated to “the Hose,” 

particularly in newspaper headlines, and was more or less officially adopted by the student body in the 1950’s. 

All the PC media guides since 1996 continued to elaborate on the issue, quoting an article by Ben Hay Hammet entitled “The Spirt of PC.” The piece 

by Hammet articulated that, “Johnson always insisted on the fact that his players wear long blue socks similar to stockings (after all, there were White 

Sox and Red Sox in baseball). 

Coach Johnson’s explanation may simply be coincidental to the fact that the phrase “Blue Stocking Presbyterian” goes back informally quite a few 

years in the denomination’s history.” Nevertheless, PC’s athletic nickname was shortened to Blue Hose in 1954.

Mike Smith is in his eighth year 

at PC and currently serves as the 

Senior Associate Director of Athletics.

department. 

Smith has worn many hats while at PC. He is a former PC student, is married 

to a former student, served on the faculty, coached several of the teams and 

is a PC dad. He returned to Clinton, S.C., in 2002 to become the Professor of 

Military Science and began coaching at PC as a volunteer assistant coach for 

Coach Gregg Nibert and our men’s basketball team. That first year, the team 

earned a 27-9 record and advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. After two 

years, Mike switched sides and began as an assistant coach for our women’s 

basketball team. The team attained a 21-7 record in their second year. 

Smith retired from the Army in 2005 and added the additional duties as 

Assistant Athletic Director along with continuing to be an assistant women’s 

basketball coach. In 2007, he left basketball and was named Associate Director 

in order to help in the transition to Division I. However for 2007-2008, he 

stepped in to serve as an interim head coach for women’s lacrosse. The team 

had a miraculous year attaining a .500 record, the best in school history, while 

playing a player short for most of the year.

Brian Reese, formerly Vanderbilt 

University’s associate director of 

student athletics, has been named the 

new director of athletics at Presbyterian College. 

PC president Dr. John Griffith made the announcement on Monday, April 5, 

following a national search that attracted more than 80 candidates. 

“I am enormously pleased to announce that Brian Reese has agreed to serve 

as our new director of athletics,” Griffith said. “His experience at Vanderbilt 

underscores the importance we place on academics for our student-athletes 

and we believe he will be a perfect fit for our community.” 

Reese has served at Vanderbilt since 2002, when he first joined the school’s 

athletics staff as director of football operations. In 2004, he was named 

director of sports operations at the university before being named associate 

director of student-athletics in 2008. 

Prior to joining the athletics staff at Vanderbilt, Reese was the head 

athletic trainer at Furman University from 1995 to 2002 and assistant director 

of sports medicine at the Citadel from 1989 to 1995. 

He is a 1986 graduate of Grand Valley State College in Allendale, Mich., 

where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He also earned 

a master’s degree in athletic administration from the University of Tulsa in 

Oklahoma in 1989. 

Reese has personal ties to PC; his wife attended PC while his brothersin-law 

- Michael and William - were respective members of the Blue Hose 

football and baseball teams. During visits to campus both with family and as 

part of his job, Reese said he felt attuned to how special a place PC is. 

“Presbyterian College has a great tradition of putting academics first for 

student-athletes,” he said. “When the job opened, I went after it knowing this 

was a good environment to live and work in. After meeting people here - the 

coaches, student-athletes, faculty, and the community - I knew this is where I 

wanted to be. There is so much potential here for us to have great success in 

Division I and doing it with honor. I’m grateful and humbled to be selected.” 

Reese follows Dr. William “Bee” Carlton, who served his alma mater as AD 

for six years. 

Reese and his wife, Tricia, have three children. He will begin his full-time 

duties as director of athletics on July 1.

NCAA Compliance 

“Representatives of athletics interests” are all alumni and friends of Presbyterian 

College athletics programs; you are bound under the same rules and regulations as 

the athletes, coaches, and staff. This contains a brief overview, if future questions/ 

situations arise please be sure to, “ask before you act” because consequences of 

NCAA violations include: 

• Enrolled student-athletes declared ineligible 

• Eligibility of prospective student-athletes jeopardized 

• NCAA regulations and sanctions placed on the college and athletic 

department 

• Athletics representatives forced to disassociate from the college and/or loss of 

ticket privileges 

What is a Representative of Athletics Interests (Booster/Donor)? 

All alumni, friends, and employees of the College are categorized as 

‘representatives of athletics interest.’ The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has 

been identified as a ‘representative’ or “booster/donor” he/she retains this status 

forever even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletics program. 

Furthermore the NCAA states that it is possible for a person to be a representative 

of more than one institution at the same time. 

A representative of athletics interest is anyone who has ever: 

• Made any type of contribution to the athletics department or to a booster 

club, 

• Joined the institution’s booster club or any sport specific group, 

• Provided or helped arrange employment for a student-athlete, 

• Provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families, 

• Assisted in any manner in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes, 

• Promoted the institution’s athletics programs in any manner. 

As a representative of athletics interest you may not: 

• Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a 

prospect, 

• Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts, 

• Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians, or spouse on or off 

campus, 

• Contact a prospect by telephone or letter, 

• Make special arrangements to entertain a recruit, 

• Provide extra benefits to a prospect, student-athlete, or the parents, family 

and/or guardians of the prospects or student-athletes. 

Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete? 

A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started ninth (9th) grade, 

regardless of his/her athletic ability and/or participation. Please remember that a 

prospective student-athlete remains a prospect even after signing a National Letter of 

Intent (NLI) or accepts an offer of financial aid from the institution. A person remains 

a prospect until he/she reports for the first day of classes for a regular (Fall/Spring) 

term. 

What is an “Extra Benefit?” 

Any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of 

the institution’s athletics programs to provide a student-athlete (or relative/friend) 

a benefit that is not generally available to other Presbyterian College students. 

Please take special consideration of the following: 


Illegal Benefits: 

-Providing cash or other tangible items (e.g. clothes, cars, shoes) to a prospect 

or a student-athlete or his/her family or friends. 

-Purchasing items or services from a prospect/student-athlete’s family at inflated 

prices. 

-Providing the use of a car (including official visits to student hosts) or any free 

or reduced cost services to a prospect/student-athlete or his/her family or friends. 

-Providing a loan, co-signing a loan or guaranteeing a bond for a prospect/student 

athlete. 

-Providing tickets to an athletic event (institutional or community), or free 

admission to an institution’s away from home contest for a prospect/student-athlete 

or his/her family or friends. 

-Promising employment after graduation or promising financial aid for post 

graduate education. 

-Paying or arranging for the payment of transportation costs incurred by a 

prospect/student-athlete’s family or friends to visit the campus or elsewhere. 

-Entertaining relatives or friends or a prospect/student athlete including at your 

home or another facility (e.g. restaurant). 

-Employing relatives or friends of prospects as an inducement for enrollment. 

-Buying Christmas, birthday gifts or any gifts or awards for athletic 

performance. 

-Providing an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. (Only 

necessary travel expenses may be provided and this must be approved by the athletic 

department prior to the speaking engagement.) 

• A student-athlete cannot accept anything from an employee or booster (i.e.-use 

of car, hair cut, clothing, gifts, money, tickets, payment of long distance calls.) 

• Free/reduced cost of room and/or board cannot be provided. This includes on 

or off campus and at any location or time of year. 

• Storage Room cannot be provided. 

• Use of copy machine, fax machine, or other department equipment may not 

be provided.

ask all who are associated with the institutions athletics programs to help the College 

protect the spirit of competition, the athletics eligibility of our student-athletes, and 

the reputation of the College by adhering to the rules and regulations of the NCAA 

and by contacting the Compliance Office or the NCAA with all questions.

Athletics Facilities 

The Presbyterian College Athletics Department is recognized as having some of the finest athletic facilities in the Southeast. The 16-sport athletic department’s 

facilities include the 2,300-seat Ross E. Templeton Physical Education Center, Callaway Tennis Courts, Edens Field at Martin Stadium, the PC Baseball Complex 

and the PC Softball Complex. 

Ross E. Templeton Physical Education Center 

The facility bears the name of the late Ross E. Templeton ‘24, distinguished 

alumnus and business leader of Charlotte and Clinton, who was a life-long 

devotee of PC sports. Completed in 1975, the facility serves as both a sports 

and academic center. The Furman Pinson Arena seats more than 2,000 

spectators for men’s and women’s basketball as well as volleyball. In 2000, Mr. 

and Mrs. Robert Staton provided a new floor for the facility. Ample classrooms, 

multi-purpose space and equipment serve the physical education instruction 

program. Adjoining Templeton Center is the new Johnson-Callaway Center, an 

11,500-square foot addition containing men’s and women’s locker rooms and 

10 coaches’ offices. Located directly behind this facility is the Kemper D. Lake, 

M.D. Sports Medicine Center which houses PC’s Sports Medicine staff who 

maintain the health of all Blue Hose athletes. The Mabry-Smith-Yonce Center 

is the 6,000-square foot facility adjoining the Templeton Center that was built 

in 1994. This facility provides meeting space for student organizations, alumni 

groups, athletic teams and special events. 

Templeton Weight Facility 

Located in the Templeton Center, the new weight room which opened in 

October of 2004, replaced the facility’s racquetball court that was no longer 

in service. The 38’x70’ addition provides an additional 2,660-square feet 

of weightlifting area for the school’s 16 varsity athletic teams. The original 

weight room provides 2,400-square feet of workout space that will give the 

Blue hose athletic teams the flexibility to work out in both weight room 

facilities while avoiding scheduling conflicts. The new weight room includes 

custom equipment designed and installed by ArrowHawk of Laurens, S.C. 

Templeton Tennis Center 

Located next to the Ross E. Templeton Center, the Templeton Tennis Center 

is home for the Blue Hose men’s and women’s tennis programs. Templeton 

Courts has served as host for several regular season and postseason events, 

including hosting the SAC Tennis Championships from 2002-2004. 

Martin Stadium 

Martin Soccer Stadium, seating approximately 400, was constructed in 

2000 by the Kenneth Martin family of Greenville, S.C. Dr. Robert M. Edens 

‘77, of Columbia, S.C., provided the soccer playing field. The facility is home 

for the Blue Hose men’s and women’s soccer programs, which have received 

national recognition over the years. This facility has also served as host of 

several postseason events at the high school and collegiate level. 

PC Softball Complex 

The PC Softball Complex is located on the 31-acre Young Intramural Park. 

This facility is home to the Blue Hose Softball program and was built in 1997, 

when the sport was still at club level. 

The facility has a new scoreboard located behind the right field fence, 

which was donated by Pepsi-Cola of Greenville, S.C., prior to the 2005 

season. Behind the scoreboard are batting cages, while the complex also 

has three other softball fields which can be used for practice or tournament 

competition. 

The complex has served host to many tournaments, including the Food 

Lion/SAC Tournament from 2001-2003 and again in 2007. 


Athletics Facilities 

Johnson Field at Old Bailey Stadium 

Johnson Field was named for Walter A. Johnson, who came to Presbyterian 

College in 1915 when he was 22 and served as coach and athletic director for 

43 years. 

President John McSween dedicated Bailey Stadium at the opening home 

football game of the 1928 season. The 3,000 seat facility, which is now used 

as the home site by the Blue Hose men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, resulted 

mainly from a $10,000 gift from W.J. Bailey, Clinton banker and industrialist, 

as a memorial to his son William Cyrus Bailey, 1908. The Bailey Foundation 

provided for the renovation of the track and stadium in 1986. The facility 

served as the home field for the Blue Hose football program from its opening 

prior to the 1928 season until the first two games of the 2002 season. During 

that time, the Blue Hose compiled a record of 185-109-8, good for a .626 winning 

percentage. 

PC Baseball Complex 

The Presbyterian College baseball team plays its home games at one of 

the most attractive facilities in South Carolina, the PC Baseball Complex. The 

Complex is located at the eastern end of the college campus and was built in 

the late 1980’s. The facility has served as host to numerous postseason events 

at the collegiate and high school level over the years. 

The complex boasts a covered batting facility down the first base line and a 

10-inning scoreboard located behind the left field fence. 


Bailey Memorial Stadium 

During the 2002 season, Presbyterian College opened the 

new 6,500-seat Bailey Memorial Stadium. This state-of-theart 

facility features a multi-level press box, a spacious field 

house and concession stands for home and visiting fans. 

Guarding the entrance to Bailey Memorial Stadium is a 15- 

foot statue, which was graciously donated by Mr. Irwin Belk, 

of the Blue Hose mascot, nicknamed Cyrus. Scotsman Club 

members will have the opportunity to watch exciting Blue 

Hose football from the loggia level, which has open access to 

the home stands and a superb view of the playing field. 

The second story of the press box is the president’s level. 

Special guests will enjoy Blue Hose football from the plush 

surroundings of the private president’s box. Also located on 

this level is the game operations box, home and visiting radio 

booths which are located on each end of this level and the 

sports information box. The top level of the press box is the 

film level, which offers coaches’ boxes and a filming area for 

both teams. The playing surface, Claude Crocker Field, is made 

of bermuda grass. Located at the west end of Crocker Field is 

the Yonce Field house. The 9,000-square foot facility houses 

both home and visiting football teams with locker room 

facilities. A doctor’s office and sports medicine taping room 

are also located in the field house. 



Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured 

into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence 

on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing 

presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic 

accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and 

media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic 

competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, 

athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has 

evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through 

Athletics.” 

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when 

Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard 

Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting 

members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, 

Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One 

month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first 

Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to 

the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the 

Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official 

conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 

1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged 

NCAA Division I status. 

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA 

Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large 

berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, 

women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” 

Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, 

the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic 

qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven 

years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations 

and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball 

television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of 

the finest teams in the nation. 

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third 

Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander 

has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new 

levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue 

during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to 

Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time 

in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure 

to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television 

packages. 

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated 

its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a 

Big South Conference 

distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional 

life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add 

football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and 

has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, 

Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter 

member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also 

included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its 

first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video 

offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with 

the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and 

social media platforms. 

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced 

monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, 

the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 

200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s 

basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s 

soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor 

track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the 

NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s 

tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in 

the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three 

consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader 

twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship 

Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s 

Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an 

NCAA event. 

In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide 

to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), 

a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 

(Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal 

Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 

seed three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 

came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. 

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” 

was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th 

Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best 

of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty 

University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996- 

2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. 

The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the 

classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes 

are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 

cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 

95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence. 


Martin Soccer Stadium 

Presbyterian College’s men’s and women’s soccer teams play at Edens 

Field in the state-of-the-art Martin Soccer Stadium, which opened in the 

fall of 2000. 

Martin Stadium is one of the finest facilities in the South as it showcases 

a permanent stadium seating facility encased in brick, including 400 

chairback seats. 

Edens Field is a 120 by 75 yard playing field with 419 Tif Bermuda 

grass throughout and is framed in black rod-iron fencing. The facility has 

a pair of World Cup goals along with a 240 square foot wireless remote 

scoreboard along with five light poles which provides availability for day 

and night matches. 

The facility opened in the fall of 2000 with the Blue Hose men’s soccer 

team winning its inaugural match, 3-0, over Catawba College on Oct. 21, 

2000. Martin Stadium was dedicated between the men’s and women’s 

soccer matches on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2001. 

Martin Stadium was named for benefactors Ken and Kay Martin 

of Greenville, S.C. Their sons, Michael, a ‘93 graduate and Mark, a ’96 

graduate, both played soccer at PC. Edens Field is named for Bob Edens of 

Columbia, S.C., a 1977 graduate who was a member of 

the very first Blue Hose soccer team. Among the other 

benefactors to the new soccer complex include David 

Welborn of Spartanburg, S.C., a 1966 graduate whose 

son, Will ’91, and daughter, Elizabeth ’96, were varsity 

soccer players and PC students and Michael and Karen 

Warren of Atlanta, Ga., whose son, Sean, was a former 

member of the men’s soccer program. 

The 2007 Blue Hose were 3-2-1 inside their home 

stadium. PC was 2-1-1 against Big South competition 

at Martin Stadium in 2007, defeating Radford and Big 

South Conference Tournament champion High Point. 

In 2008, PC notched a 3-2-1 mark at home, including 

a 2-1-1 record against conference competition. The 

squad downed VMI and Charleston Southern to close 

out the season.

We Are Presbyterian College 

Presbyterian College is located in Clinton, South Carolina, a community 

of 10,000 nestled in upstate South Carolina. The college’s beautiful 240-acre 

campus and a national reputation for academic excellence attract 1,200 

students representing 30 states and eleven foreign countries. International 

study programs include China, Oxford, Spain, and Cuba. The distinguished 

sons and daughters of Presbyterian College are outstanding leaders in 

business and industry, education, athletics, journalism, medicine, the military, 

the Church, and public service. Presbyterian College, home of the fighting 

Blue Hose, continues to live its motto of “While we live, we serve,” producing 

servant leaders for the world today. 

PC was born of the dreams of a humble pastor determined to restore a 

territory plundered by war. In 1864 22-year-old Rev. William Plumer Jacobs 

arrived in Clinton to serve as pastor of First Presbyterian Church. Eight years 

later Jacobs and the church founded the Clinton High School Association to 

provide the young people of Laurens County a place to receive a Christianbased, 

liberal arts education. In 1880 the Clinton High School Association 

became first Clinton College, and then in 1890 the Presbyterian College of 

South Carolina. 

Coeducational instruction occurred from the start. In keeping with its 

goal to produce graduates of high moral character, Presbyterian College 

adopted an honor code, a student-run system still flourishing today, to 

govern students’ academic and social lives. 

Today’s PC curriculum includes international programs, internships, and 

unique cultural and arts opportunities. New facilities for living (Senior Hall 

and Carol International House), athletic play (new Bailey Memorial Stadium, 

Martin Soccer Stadium), study (Lassiter Science Hall, the Arnold Archives and 

Thomason Library), and infrastructure support (information technology) 

benefit the PC and Clinton community alike. 

New professorships have strengthened the already strong faculty. The 

college is home to six South Carolina Professors of the Year, more than 

twice the number of any public or private institution in the state. Financial 

aid resources insure that qualified students have access to a PC education. 

Blue Hose sports have always made history. In 1943 PC football coach 

Lonnie McMillan gave the Clemson football stadium its famous nickname, 

Death Valley. The Scotsman Club, formerly known as the Walter Johnson 

Club, was created in 1937. Its purpose still today is to provide athletic 

scholarships for young men and women who excel in both sports venues 

and classrooms. In the 1960s PC’s intercollegiate tennis program was ranked 

number 2 in the nation. 

PC provides the community a rich cultural life through lectures, art 

exhibits, concerts and theatrical performances. The college’s library and 

intramural facilities serve local residents, while college faculty and staff 

serve on many local boards. The college is involved in local economic 

development, recognizing the importance of its roll as a Clinton citizen and 

significant employer. 

Presbyterian College holds fast to its core mission and high standards of 

integrity, celebrating its motto: “Dum Vivimus Servimus,” or “While we live, 

we serve.” Service to community and each other are hallmarks of faculty and 

students alike, and PC has one of the oldest student volunteer organizations 

in the country in Student Volunteer Services (SVS). Presbyterian College is 

also proud of its service to country. More than 1,000 PC graduates served in 

World War II, and today’s alumni ranks include a Medal of Honor recipient 

and more than 15 generals. 

In 2007, after 15 years in NCAA Division II, the college entered its first 

transitional year of membership into NCAA Division I. Today PC fields sixteen 

competitive teams in men’s and women’s sports and is in its third transitional 

season. PC is a member of the Big South Conference. 


The compelling purpose of Presbyterian College, as a church-related college, is to develop within 

the framework of Christian faith the mental, physical, moral, and spiritual capacities of each student 

in preparation for a lifetime of personal and vocational fulfillment and responsible contribution to 

our democratic society and the world community. The following goals guide the College in its attempt 

to fulfill its mission: 

* To help students gain knowledge of humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, a special 

competence in one or more particular areas of study, and an ability to see these studies as part of 

the larger search for truth; 

* To develop in students the ability to think clearly and independently, to make critical judgments, 

and to communicate effectively in both speech and writing; 

* To foster in students an aesthetic appreciation of the arts and literature; 

* To acquaint students with values of the Christian faith; 

* To help students develop moral and ethical commitments, including service to others; 

* To help students attain a sense of dignity, self-worth, and appreciation of persons with diverse 

backgrounds; 

* To encourage in students an appreciation for teamwork and for physical fitness and athletic 

skills that will contribute to lifelong health; and 

* To foster in students an appreciation of, and concern for, the environment and natural 

resources.
