LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS<br />
DARIN S. WILSON<br />
In February of<br />
2003, Darin S. Wilson<br />
was named the<br />
Director of Athletics<br />
at Union College.<br />
Since becoming<br />
the school’s Director<br />
of Athletics, Wilson<br />
has begun improving the college’s athletic<br />
facilities such as a new press boxes at<br />
the football and softball facilities, the<br />
installation of synthetic sports turf at Burch/<br />
Nau Field, remodeling of athletic training<br />
facilities in Robsion Arena as well as several<br />
other projects.<br />
Union has enjoyed unprecedented<br />
success on and off the field of play during<br />
Wilson’s tenure. Since taking the helm,<br />
the Union athletic department has won 17<br />
Applachian Athletic Conference regularseason<br />
and tournament championships, three<br />
Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference<br />
championships and six NAIA Region XII<br />
championships. Additionally, 23 Bulldog<br />
and Lady Bulldogs teams have participated<br />
in national championship tournaments and<br />
events.<br />
Wilson was honored by the Appalachian<br />
Athletic Conference in 2008 as the league’s<br />
Athletic Director of the Year.<br />
In the classroom, Union has had 32<br />
NAIA Scholar-Athletes and four CoSIDA<br />
Academic All-America Team members since<br />
2003.<br />
In addition, Wilson has revitalized and<br />
revived once-dormant athletic programs.<br />
Cross country and men’s tennis were<br />
reinstated as sponsored sports in 2004-05,<br />
while women’s tennis, men’s and women’s<br />
track and field and men’s and women’s<br />
swimming returned for the 2005-06<br />
academic year. In 2008-09, bowling will<br />
make a resurgence after a 30-year absence,<br />
giving Union 23 intercollegiate programs.<br />
Prior to accepting the post, Wilson served<br />
as the head baseball coach, sitting at the<br />
helm of the Bulldogs for five seasons (1999-<br />
2003). During that span, Wilson posted<br />
a 161-106-1 record and was named the<br />
Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year in<br />
2001.<br />
The Versailles, Ky., native originally<br />
attended the University of Kentucky to play<br />
baseball, but transferred to Union prior to<br />
the 1994 season. As a senior, Wilson was<br />
named the school’s Male Athlete of the Year.<br />
After graduating cum laude from Union<br />
in 1996, Wilson joined the Bulldog baseball<br />
staff as an assistant coach.<br />
Wilson and his wife, Patti, reside in<br />
Barbourville. The couple also has one son,<br />
Drew, and one daughter, Mara.<br />

This Is Union!<br />
LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
In 1879 a group of<br />
progressive citizens followed<br />
the prompting of Abraham H.<br />
Harritt, a salesman of school<br />
desks, and James T. Gibson,<br />
the owner of a generalmerchandise<br />
store, to establish<br />
a college in the Barbourville<br />
community. W.W. Sawyers<br />
and James D. Black met in the<br />
office of Judge J.H. Tinsley<br />
and formed a stock company<br />
to launch Union College.<br />
Black, who later served as<br />
president of Union from 1910-<br />
12 and later served as governor<br />
of Kentucky, is given credit<br />
CENTENNIAL HALL<br />
for having named the school<br />
“Union.” The institution it<br />
would serve as a unifying influence for the community regardless of church affiliation<br />
or political differences. The Articles of Incorporation were drawn up on Oct. 18, 1879,<br />
and provided for the issuance of $20,000 worth of capital stock. The London Echo of<br />
Dec. 12, 1879, carrying its first announcement of Union, listed the corporation as being<br />
“designed to fill a long-felt want in eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee and western<br />
Virginia.”<br />
Union was operated under local leadership for the first few years, but began to<br />
experience severe financial struggles. On Oct. 25, 1886, the property was “cried off”<br />
to Green Elliott, who purchased it for Dr. Daniel Stevenson for the sum of $4,425<br />
with Mrs. Mahala Dowis furnishing the funds. The renowned Kentucky educator had<br />
been authorized to attend the sale by the Board of Education of the Kentucky Annual<br />
Conference of The United Methodist Church.<br />
Union’s athletic mascot, the English Bulldog, was introduced during the fall of 1925.<br />
The breed, whose ancestors were developed in Britain before the 13th century from the<br />
British mastiff and other breeds, was used for bullbaiting and dogfighting until these<br />
sports were outlawed in the 19th century.<br />
In 1967, the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity of Union College purchased the first<br />
living mascot named Mack. He was presented at the Homecoming basketball game that<br />
same year. A registered English Bulldog, Mack died in 1971. His remains are buried in<br />
an area adjacent to Union’s current baseball complex.<br />
During the past seven years, Union College began a major campus renovation<br />
and building project. Plans included the creation of new student housing, expanded<br />
academic and athletic centers, and the upgrade of existing facilities. Projects completed<br />
were the construction of the Stewart-Lyttle Apartments, Sharp Academic Center, Black<br />
Technology Center and the renovation of Speed Hall. Union’s athletic facilities have<br />
also received facelifts as well. A new brick backstop erected in 2001 at Sanders Field<br />
at Jerry W. Carey Baseball Stadium, while a new wooden outfield fence was built in<br />
2002 with a new outfield wall in 2008. Robsion Arena recently had the floor repainted,<br />
new scoreboards installed and a new lights, roof and gutters installed. Two new tennis<br />
courts were constructed, while the existing four were resurfaced, and a new press box<br />
was constructed at Burch/Nau Field (football) in 2003 and synthetic sports turn inlaid<br />
in 2007. In 2008, Union opened up a new weight-room facility as well.<br />
Union offers 27 majors in the undergraduate curriculum, which lead to a bachelor’s<br />
degree. Minors are also available in many of these programs. In addition, the college<br />
offers pre-professional programs that are affiliated with other institutions and agencies.<br />
Union College also boasts a graduate program The college offers graduate work in<br />
education leading to a Master’s degree, Fifth-Year Certificate and Rank I Certificate.<br />
How many independent, liberal arts colleges in the Commonwealth of Kentucky can<br />
boast of a Nobel Prize-winning graduate? Union College can certainly lay claim to that.<br />
Dr. Phillip A. Sharp, the co-winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for medicine, received his<br />
bachelor’s degree from Union in 1966.<br />
Campus life starts from the moment the students arrive on campus and continues<br />
through the end of the school year. Students can participate in more than 30 campus<br />
organizations such as music, theatre productions, sports, student government, religious<br />
activities and clubs.<br />

Robsion Arena<br />
LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
Constructed in 1963, the John M. Robsion Jr.<br />
Memorial Arena has served as the home court<br />
for the Lady Bulldog basketball program since<br />
the 1978-79 season. The arena’s seating capacity<br />
is 1,800, and the gymnasium has recently<br />
undergone some renovation.<br />
The gym floor was repainted and the new<br />
3-point line for men’s basketball was added.<br />
During the past year, the lobby and gym areas<br />
have been total repainted. New scoreboards and<br />
lighting system were installed for the 2003-<br />
04 season as well as a new roof and gutters.<br />
Also, all of the locker room areas received vast<br />
improvements.<br />
Previously, the only major alteration had to<br />
do with the reserved seating section in the lower<br />
level portion of the gym.<br />
The reserved seating section once consisted<br />
of folding chairs. However, orange, chair-back seats with black armrests have replaced the folding chairs. In addition, there are<br />
handrails dividing each aisle in the reserved seating section.<br />
Besides the gym, Robsion Arena also houses an indoor swimming pool, an athletic training room, lockerrooms for the the men’s<br />
basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball and swimming and visiting teams and classrooms and offices for the Health, Physical<br />
Education and Recreation Department.<br />
Originally, the building was known as the Physical Education Building. The name was changed to the John M. Robsion Jr. Memorial<br />
Arena in 1990 to honor one of the school’s alums and long-time supporter.<br />
Robsion was a 1919 graduate of the old Union College Academy. Though his professional and political life took him all over the<br />
world, Robsion never forgot his roots and ties to Union as he remained a loyal supporter of the school.<br />
Born in 1904, the Barbourville, Ky. native attended and graduated from George Washington University in 1926. He was a congressional<br />
secretary from 1919-28, and he was admitted to the bar in 1926 and moved to Louisville in 1928. From 1928-35, Robsion<br />
served as chief of the Law Division of the United States Bureau of Prisons. After practicing law in Louisville for nearly seven<br />
years, Robsion served in the U.S. Army from 1942-46 and was stationed overseas in Africa, Italy and Austria. Upon his discharge,<br />
he held a variety posts in the political world, including three terms as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Following an<br />
unsuccessful run as Kentucky gubernatorial candidate in 1959, Robsion practiced law in Louisville and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. until<br />
his death on Feb. 14, 1990.<br />
THE UNION COLLEGE WEIGHT ROOM FACILITY<br />
Union College student-athletes have a new state-of-the-art wellness<br />
center to help train in and out of season. The renovation of the lower level<br />
of Soldiers and Sailors Center was completed in the spring of 2008 and<br />
features two areas, a weight-room and cardio area.<br />
The revamped weight-room facility is open to all Union students as<br />
well as faculty and staff during designated times.<br />
The weight-room portion features 10 power racks with platforms and<br />
420 pounds per station. Also located in the weight room are leg extension<br />
and leg curl combo machines, pull down and preacher curl areas. In<br />
addition, the weight room houses dip racks and free weights ranging from<br />
five pounds to 120 pounds.<br />
The cardio area is home to<br />
treadmills, elliptical and stationary<br />
bikes along with additional free<br />
weights from three to 50 pounds.<br />
Soldiers and Sailors was<br />
constructed in 1919 as the College’s gymnasium. It contained a swimming pool in the<br />
basement and at the time of its construction was considered “state-of-the-art.” The pool was<br />
the first indoor pool in the state of Kentucky. In the early 1960s, a new gymnasium (Robsion<br />
Arena) was built, and the old gym was turned over to the Drama Department. It was renamed<br />
the Dramatic Arts Center (DAC), and the gymnasium was converted into a stage.<br />
Part of the basement area was converted into a coffee shop in the fall of 1973, and it<br />
remained that way throughout the 1970s. For a period of time in the ‘80s, the building was<br />
closed because of structural problems. It was reinforced and re-opened as the Intramural<br />
Center in 1990. In 1994, the area once used as a coffee shop was cleaned up and was used as<br />
a recycling center before being renovated for the new Wellness Center.<br />

2008-09 Lady Bulldog Preview<br />
LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
The 2008-09 season appears to be shaping up as another<br />
memorable campaign for the Union College Lady<br />
Bulldogs.<br />
Union is coming off back-to-back Appalachian Athletic<br />
Conference Tournament championships and consecutive NAIA<br />
Division II National Championship Tournament appearances.<br />
In addition, the Lady Bulldogs only lost one key member to last<br />
year’s squad that went 25-9 overall and 15-3 in the Appalachian<br />
Athletic Conference.<br />
“Obviously, we’ve got quite a bit of experience returning,<br />
which is something that we haven’t had here in the past,” said<br />
Union coach Tim Curry. “Although we lost one key player, she<br />
was a big contributor in regards to the numbers she put up.”<br />
The player in question is Allison Fowler, who finished her<br />
career second in program history in points (1,427), assists (421)<br />
and steals (268). She also ranks ninth all-time in rebounding<br />
(425).<br />
While trying to fill the void left by Fowler will not be easy,<br />
this is not a new situation for the Lady Bulldogs. Heading into<br />
the 2007-08 season, Union had to find a replacement for Andrea<br />
Hillard, who is the program’s all-time leader in assists (654)<br />
and steals (321) and ranks fifth all-time in rebounding (567) and<br />
sixth in scoring (1,308).<br />
“We were in the same position the year before, having<br />
to replace Andy, and obviously, we were able<br />
to do that with the returning players we had,”<br />
Curry said. “That’s part of the evolution of a<br />
college basketball team. You’ll always have<br />
to replace somebody in your program. It’s<br />
just part of life.”<br />
Still, Union has plenty of experience returning,<br />
including four starters from the 2007-08 squad and<br />
seven players who made back-to-back trips to the<br />
national tournament.<br />
Curry’s biggest concern for the 2008-09 season is<br />
complacency.<br />
“One of the biggest fears you have as a coach is that<br />
a team just expects to win rather than doing the things it<br />
takes to win,” the Lady Bulldog coach explained.<br />
POINT GUARD<br />
Carley Blankenship (Lexington, Ky.) is<br />
back for her junior season after starting all<br />
34 games last season at point, averaging<br />
10.3 points per game and dishing<br />
out 116 assists. The 5-foot-5 guard<br />
really turned up her game during<br />
the conference tournament as she<br />
had 45 points, nine rebounds and<br />
six assists in landing on the All-<br />
Tournament Team.<br />
“Carley had a great year last<br />
year, and there’s no doubt she can<br />
handle the pressure of running the<br />
point,” Curry said. “She just needs to be<br />
more consistent in the things she provides as<br />
the point guard.”<br />
That said, Curry is more concerned about who will<br />
6 • Union College<br />
handle the point when Blankenship is not in the game.<br />
Right now, Blankenship’s backups have been out of<br />
commission for various reasons. Freshman Nikki Jeck (Berea,<br />
Ky.) is coming off an injury and is not 100 percent yet, while<br />
freshman Kara Pile (Fairdale, Ky.) spent much of the fall as part<br />
of the Lady Bulldog golf team and only recently rejoined the<br />
team on the court.<br />
Blankenship averaged nearly 28 minutes of playing time in<br />
2007-08.<br />
SHOOTING GUARDS<br />
The Lady Bulldogs will have a number of options to choose<br />
from at the shooting guard positions.<br />
“We return the bulk of our experience at this position,” Curry<br />
noted.<br />
Leading the pack is senior Susanna Todd (Eubank, Ky.) who<br />
now owns every 3-point record in program history. Last season,<br />
the 5-foot-6 guard hit 48.7 percent from behind the arc, draining<br />
a school-record 73 treys en route to becoming the all-time leader<br />
in 3-pointers made. A Third Team All-AAC selection in 2007-08,<br />
Todd currently has 202 long-range bombs to her credit and is the<br />
newest member of the 1,000-point club.<br />
Junior Ashley Lunsford (Orlando, Ky.) started 31 of 34<br />
contests last season, averaging 8.24 points and 5.41 rebounds. At<br />
5-foot-9, Lunsford showed her versatility by also dishing out 106<br />
assists and stealing 41 balls.<br />
Juniors Allyson Campassi (Frankfort, Ky.) and Jessica<br />
Baker (Canmer, Ky.) saw considerable<br />
at the different guard positions.<br />
Campassi averaged 4.54 points per<br />
game and made 40.8 percent (29<br />
of 71) from 3-point range. Baker,<br />
meanwhile, averaged 4.91 points<br />
per game and had 59 assists<br />
and 41 steals to her credit.<br />
The
2008-09 Lady Bulldog Preview<br />
duo also combined to pull down 153 rebounds.<br />
Junior Tara Tucker (Whitley City, Ky.) also saw some playing<br />
time last season, averaging 1.29 points in limited action.<br />
POST<br />
Brooke Smith (Pineville, Ky.) put together arguably one of<br />
the best individual seasons in program history last season as a<br />
sophomore. All the 6-foot forward/center did was set the singlegame<br />
records for points (54) and field goals made (20) as well<br />
as eclipse the single-season marks for points (778), field goals<br />
made (287) and free throws made (188). Smith also joined the<br />
1,000-point club.<br />
For her efforts, Smith racked up the accolades. She was named<br />
to the NAIA All-American Third Team, the AAC Player of the<br />
Year, twice named the AAC Player of the Week and the NAIA<br />
Player of the Week once. In addition, Smith made the 2008<br />
WBCA/State Farm NAIA All-Region 6 Team.<br />
“Brooke fits our system perfectly, and she’s got a tremendous<br />
work ethic which is not an easy thing to find,” Curry said of<br />
Smith, who averaged 22.9 points and 7.38 rebounds per<br />
game. She also blocked 65 shots and had 34<br />
steals. “We expect bigger things out of her.<br />
And given her last two years, that is a lot to<br />
ask.”<br />
Smith already ranks fifth on the all-time scoring list<br />
with 1,357 career points and should move up to second<br />
within the first week or so of the season.<br />
What will help improve Smith’s game is the added<br />
depth to the post positions.<br />
Senior Carrie Bistline (Frankfort, Ky.) missed<br />
the majority of the 2007-08 season due to medical<br />
reasons. Seeing action in 12 games and starting<br />
three, the 6-foot forward/<br />
center averaged 4.67<br />
points and 2.67<br />
rebounds to go<br />
along with seven<br />
blocks.<br />
The Lady<br />
Bulldogs added<br />
freshman Rachel<br />
Underwood (Bremen,<br />
Ky.) to the mix. The<br />
6-foot-2 center helped Muhlenberg<br />
North High to a 24-9 record and to the 3 rd Region<br />
championship game last season.<br />
“With the added depth down in the paint, it will<br />
help open things up more for Brooke,” said Curry.<br />
“Teams won’t be able to focus on solely her. If they<br />
do, we have the personnel to take advantage of the<br />
situation.”<br />
THE AAC<br />
Having been a part of the Appalachian<br />
Athletic Conference for 13 years now,<br />
Curry says the league is as tight as ever<br />
from top to bottom.<br />
“The conference continually has<br />
gotten stronger and deeper every year, and there’s no question<br />
that that’s the case this year,” he said.<br />
The Lady Bulldog coach said that this year’s race for the<br />
championship could be tightest one in a long team, adding that<br />
the regular-season champion could have five or six conference<br />
losses.<br />
According to the coaches’ preseason poll, Curry isn’t alone in<br />
that thinking. While Union is the favorite, it garnered only six<br />
of the 10 first-place votes and 96 total points. Milligan (Tenn.)<br />
College received three first-place votes and 83 total points.<br />
King (Tenn.) College, Covenant (Ga.) College and Tennessee<br />
Wesleyan College rounded out the Top 5 and were separated by<br />
a total of four points.<br />
Montreat (N.C.) College and Bryan (Tenn.) College came in<br />
sixth and seventh and were separated by just three points, while<br />
Bluefield (Va.) College and Virginia Intermont College tied for<br />
eighth. UVa-Wise rounded out the field in 10 th .<br />
THE 2008-09 SCHEDULE<br />
The road back to the AAC championship and<br />
to the national tournament will not be an<br />
easy one. The Lady Bulldogs have games<br />
against five schools which advanced to the<br />
NAIA Division II National Tournament<br />
last season and will play 10 games<br />
against teams that were received<br />
votes in the final poll last<br />
season.<br />
In addition, Union has<br />
five games slated against<br />
teams from the Mid-<br />
South Conference, a<br />
NAIA Division I<br />
league. To make<br />
things even<br />
tougher, 13<br />
of the team’s<br />
first 17 games –<br />
including three<br />
of its first four<br />
conference games, are<br />
on the road.<br />
“If you want to<br />
compete nationally,<br />
you have to play<br />
those people,” said<br />
Curry. “That’s part of<br />
life of a team that wants<br />
to be considered a Top 25<br />
program year-in and yearout.”<br />
Union will open the season Nov.<br />
4 at St. Catherine’s (Ky.) College.<br />
The Lady Bulldogs will host their annual<br />
tournament Nov. 7-8 and take on Midway<br />
(Ky.) College and Ohio Dominican University.<br />
On Nov. 19, Union opens conference play at<br />
UVa-Wise.<br />

Head Coach Tim Curry<br />
LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
Tim Curry is heading into his eighth<br />
season at the helm of Union College<br />
Lady Bulldog basketball program.<br />
The Columbia, Ky. native became the<br />
program’s seventh head coach in March<br />
of 2001, and he is the first male to ever<br />
hold the position.<br />
In just seven seasons at Union, Curry<br />
has taken the Lady Bulldog program<br />
to new heights as he owns a 125-104<br />
record while at Union in becoming the<br />
program’s winningest coach and a 217-<br />
216 career coaching record. In 2002-03<br />
alone, Union set a program record for<br />
wins in a season with 25 and a school-record for most 3-pointers made<br />
in a season with 296. The Lady Bulldogs won the Appalachian Athletic<br />
Conference Tournament and advanced to the NAIA Division II National<br />
Championship Tournament for the first time in school history. Union<br />
made a return visit the the national tournament in 2006-07 as it upset<br />
the top three seeds in the AAC Tournament to win the title and earn an<br />
automatic berth.<br />
The 2007-08 season saw the Lady Bulldogs win both the regularseason<br />
and tournament championships as they advanced to the NAIA<br />
Division II National Championship Tournament for the second year in<br />
a row and third overall. Union tied the school mark for wins as it went<br />
25-9.<br />
Curry arrived at Union College after serving six seasons as the Head<br />
Women’s Basketball Coach at Bluefield College in Bluefield, Va. During<br />
his tenure at Bluefield, the Lady Rams enjoyed the most success in the<br />
history of the women’s basketball program. Curry departed Bluefield<br />
as the winningest coach in the programs history while leading the Lady<br />
Rams to their first-ever national rankings.<br />
While at Bluefield, Curry also served as the Assistant Director of<br />
Athletics and Head Men’s Golf Coach following a two-and-a-half<br />
year stint as Interim Director of Athletics at the Appalachian Athletic<br />
Conference school.<br />
A 1989 graduate of Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky,<br />
Curry began his coaching career at his alma mater in several different<br />
positions including Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach, Assistant<br />
Baseball Coach, and Head Women’s Softball Coach. Curry also spent<br />
one season at St. Catharine Junior College in Springfield, Kentucky as<br />
the Head Women’s Basketball Coach and Head Baseball Coach.<br />
Curry is married to the former Susan Feltner of Manchester, Kentucky<br />
and they reside in Manchester with their son, Jacob Austin, and daughter,<br />
Madison Leigh.<br />

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics<br />
In searching for the NAIA’s place<br />
in the history of sports and higher<br />
education, several consistencies<br />
are revealed. Among them is the<br />
dedication to academic achievement<br />
above athletic excellence. Also<br />
apparent is the organization’s role<br />
as a trailblazer in providing equal<br />
opportunities for all student-athletes.<br />
Above all, there is an expectation of<br />
ethical behavior and a commitment<br />
to scholarship, sportsmanship and<br />
leadership.<br />
It is paradoxical that such a lasting,<br />
dynamic contribution to collegiate<br />
sports began with a mundane note<br />
in the first recorded history of the<br />
Association: “The first general session<br />
of the ‘Organizing Convention’<br />
of the National Association of<br />
Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB)<br />
was held in the Phillips Hotel, Kansas<br />
City, Missouri, at 10 a.m., Sunday,<br />
March 10, 1940.”<br />
But the seed from which the NAIB sprouted<br />
was planted two blocks away at Municipal<br />
Auditorium. It was there in 1937 that a men’s<br />
basketball tournament tipped off which has<br />
become the longest continuous national<br />
collegiate tournament in any sport. Further, out<br />
of that small-college basketball tournament,<br />
and the NAIB, grew an Association that<br />
now includes more than 360 colleges and<br />
universi ties and conducts two dozen national<br />
championship events.<br />
The tournament was the brainchild of Emil<br />
S. Liston, Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer,<br />
and a group of Kansas City business leaders<br />
who wanted to provide Kansas City-area fans<br />
with exciting amateur competition and to<br />
provide a framework for small colleges and<br />
universities to determine a national basketball<br />
champion.<br />
The original eight-team tournament expanded<br />
to 32 teams in 1938 and suspended play only<br />
for World War II in 1944 before 16 teams<br />
were invited the following year and the field<br />
got back to full strength by 1946. Qualifying<br />
tournaments became mandatory at the district<br />
level in 1951.<br />
In 1948, the NAIB affirmed its commitment<br />
to equality by becoming the first national<br />
organization to offer intercollegiate postseason<br />
opportunities to black student-athletes.<br />
Unprecedented action was taken in 1953 when<br />
historically black institutions were voted into<br />
membership.<br />
One year previous to the inclusion of<br />
historically black institutions, another form of<br />
THE NAIA: A PROUD PAST, A DYNAMIC FUTURE<br />
expansion occurred. In 1952, as a result of the<br />
expressed desires of the member institutions,<br />
appropriate steps were taken by which the<br />
NAIB was transformed into the National<br />
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics<br />
(NAIA), and the first all-encompassing set of<br />
rules and standards was adopted.<br />
With the Association’s new name came the<br />
addition of national championships in golf,<br />
tennis and outdoor track and field. Football,<br />
cross country, baseball and swimming and<br />
diving were added to the championships<br />
calendar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer<br />
(1959), bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-<br />
84), indoor track and field (1966) and men’s<br />
volleyball (1969-80) were added later.<br />
Another significant step occurred in 1957<br />
when the Association’s headquarters moved<br />
from the campus of George Pepperdine College<br />
in Los Angeles to Kansas City to better serve<br />
the membership from a centralized location.<br />
Two major changes were made during the<br />
1970s. An extensive study was completed in<br />
1970 which paved the way for two divisions<br />
of football. In 1997, football was consolidated<br />
to one division again as the Football Coaches<br />
Association cited a narrowing gap between<br />
enrollment size and philosophy of the two<br />
divisions. In 1976, the men’s basketball<br />
tournament was moved from the confines of<br />
the Municipal Auditorium to Crosby Kemper<br />
Arena, also in Kansas City, marking the first<br />
time since 1937 that the tournament had been<br />
held in a different arena.<br />
The NAIA revolutionized national collegiate<br />
athletics with the establishment of<br />
athletics programs for women on<br />
August 1, 1980. Official notice<br />
on that date followed a mail vote<br />
by the membership on May 1<br />
that supported becoming the first<br />
organization to offer collegiate<br />
athletics to both men and women.<br />
Championships for women began<br />
that year with basketball, cross<br />
country, gymnastics, indoor and<br />
outdoor track and field, softball,<br />
tennis and volleyball. Soccer<br />
was added in 1984, and golf was<br />
included in 1995.<br />
Another important chapter in<br />
the history of the NAIA unfolded<br />
in 1992 when the Association<br />
voted to move its headquarters<br />
from Kansas City to Tulsa. On<br />
August 1, 1993, the NAIA opened<br />
its doors in Tulsa and began a new<br />
era. Moving with the national<br />
office was the Division I Men’s<br />
Basketball National Championship which had<br />
been held in Kansas City for 56 years.<br />
During the 1993 NAIA National Convention<br />
in Atlanta, the waves of change once again<br />
washed over the Association. The membership<br />
voted to institute affiliated conference and<br />
regional groupings and discontinue the use<br />
of district play as a means of qualification for<br />
national championships.<br />
Since 1937, the NAIA has administered<br />
programs and championships in proper balance<br />
with the overall educational experience. In<br />
2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to<br />
enhance the character-building aspects of<br />
sport. Through Champions of Character,<br />
the NAIA seeks to create an environment in<br />
which every student-athlete, coach, official<br />
and spectator is committed to the true spirit<br />
of competition through five tenets: respect,<br />
integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and<br />
sportsmanship.<br />
Everything has come full circle. The NAIA<br />
relocated its National Office in July of 2001<br />
to Olathe, Kansas, just miles from Gardner<br />
where the idea for the small-college basketball<br />
tournament gave rise to the NAIA. Now,<br />
nearly 65 years after that initial tournament,<br />
the NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball<br />
National Championship returned to Municipal<br />
Auditorium, the arena that was home to so<br />
many memories from 1937-74.<br />
In July of 2007, the National Office moved<br />
once again, but not too far from Olathe. The<br />
NAIA relocated its headquarters to downtown<br />
Kansas City, Mo., as it returned to its roots.<br />

2007-08 Season In Review<br />
LADY BULLDOG BASKETBALL<br />
BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS:<br />
Union College collected its third<br />
Appalachian Athletic Conference<br />
Tournament championship in 2008,<br />
giving the Lady Bulldogs back-to-back<br />
tournament titles. Union takes things a<br />
step further in 2007-08 by winning a share<br />
of the regular-season crown with a 15-3<br />
conference mark, giving the program its<br />
first-ever regular-season championship.<br />
Entering the AAC Tournament as the<br />
No. 2 seed, Union motored through the<br />
field to defeat No. 7 seed Montreat (N.C.)<br />
College 80-63 and No. 3 seed Milligan<br />
(Tenn.) College 76-67 to advance to the<br />
finals. In the championship game, the<br />
Lady Bulldogs overcame a seven-point<br />
halftime deficit to record a 71-61 victory<br />
over top-seeded King (Tenn.) College,<br />
securing the title and an automatic<br />
berth to the NAIA Division II National<br />
Championship Tournament.<br />
Allison Fowler was named the<br />
Tournament MVP, while Brooke Smith<br />
and Carley Blankenship made the All-<br />
Tournament Team.<br />
STILL SEEKING A WIN AT<br />
NATIONALS: Making its third trip to<br />
Sioux City, Iowa in six years, Union is<br />
still in search of its first win in the NAIA<br />
Division II National Championship<br />
Tournament. The Lady Bulldogs entered<br />
the 32-team tournament as a No. 6 seed<br />
in their bracket, opening up against No. 3<br />
Concordia (Neb.) University.<br />
However, Union was plagued by fouls<br />
and turnovers as Concordia posted the<br />
84-64 decision. Union opened the game<br />
hitting its first three shots for an 8-2 lead<br />
with 18:43 on the clock. Susanna Todd<br />
and Allison Fowler each hit back-to-back<br />
3-pointers, and Fowler hit a layup to give<br />
Union the early advantage.<br />
However, Concordia fought back and<br />
then used a 10-2 run to open up a 29-19<br />
lead with 6:54 remaining. Concordia<br />
continued to add to its lead as it took a 41-<br />
27 lead into the half.<br />
In the second half, it was more of the<br />
same as Concordia led by as much as<br />
25 points (70-45) en route to the 84-64<br />
victory.<br />
Brooke Smith led the team with 18<br />
points, nine rebounds and three blocks.<br />
BANNER YEAR FOR BROOKE:<br />
Brooke Smith had a season for the ages<br />
in 2007-08. The 6-foot center/forward<br />
became the first player in program history<br />
to make the NAIA All-American Team not<br />
as an honorable mention as she landed on<br />
the Third Team.<br />
In addition, she was named the<br />
Appalachian Athletic Conference Player<br />
of the Year and to the 2008 State Farm/<br />
WBCA NAIA All-Region 6 Team.<br />
Smith garnered the accolades for her<br />
record-setting season as she scored a<br />
single-season record 778 points last<br />
season, averaging 22.9 points per game.<br />
She also hauled in 251 rebounds for a 7.31<br />
per game average. In addition, Smith set<br />
the single-season records for most field<br />
goals made (287) and free throws made<br />
(188).<br />
NEWEST 1,000-POINT CLUB<br />
MEMBERS: The Lady Bulldogs added<br />
three new members to the 1,000-point<br />
club – Allison Fowler, Brooke Smith and<br />
Susanna Todd.<br />
Fowler netted her 1,000 th career point in<br />
a 79-60 win over then-No. 25 Berea (Ky.)<br />
College on Nov. 13, 2007. She finished<br />
the season and her career as the program’s<br />
second all-time leading scorer with 1,427<br />
points.<br />
Smith was next to reach the plateau,<br />
picking up her 1,000 th career point in<br />
an 81-65 win over Virginia Intermont<br />
College on Jan. 12, 2008. Smith ended<br />
the season as the fifth-leading scorer in<br />
program history with 1,357 points.<br />
On Feb. 16, 2008, Todd joined the club<br />
when she recorded her 1,000 th career point<br />
in 78-70 win over Milligan. The 5-foot-6<br />
guard ranks 11 th all-time in scoring with<br />
1,069 career points.<br />
GAME FOR THE AGES: On Dec.<br />
29, 2007, Union and Berea played in a<br />
wild, fast-paced, action-packed contest<br />
that resulted in a number of school and<br />
national records as the Lady Bulldogs won<br />
127-116.<br />
The teams set a NAIA Division II<br />
record for most points scored by both<br />
teams in a game, and Berea set the mark<br />
for most points scored by a losing team.<br />
Meanwhile, Union set the program record<br />
for most points scored in a game.<br />
The Lady Bulldogs nearly set the record<br />
for most points in a half but missed by<br />
one points. Union tallied 75 second-half<br />
points, one shy of the record of 76 held<br />
by Tusculum (Tenn.) College. Tusculum<br />
set the mark on Jan. 25, 1993, against<br />
Bluefield (Va.) College.<br />
Brooke Smith shattered the singlegame<br />
scoring record as she netted 54<br />
points and made a school-record 20 field<br />
goals. The previous program record was<br />
42 set by Malissa Hutchins back in<br />
during the 1987-88 season. The men’s<br />
basketball record is 45 points, which was<br />
set by Fred Calloway back during the<br />
1987-88 season as well.<br />
NEW 3-POINT QUEEN: Susanna Todd<br />
wrapped up the remaining 3-point records<br />
she didn’t already own. Heading into the<br />
2007-08 season, Todd already owned the<br />
single-game (8) and a share of the singleseason<br />
(66) records. Last season, she not<br />
only padded the single-season record, but<br />
Todd also added the career and singleseason<br />
3-point field-goal percentage<br />
marks to her résumé.<br />
Todd buried 73-of-150 from long range<br />
for a 48.7 shooting percentage from<br />
behind the arc. She finished the year with<br />
202 career 3-pointers made, besting the<br />
old mark of 186.<br />
COACHING MILESTONES: Head<br />
coach Tim Curry reached a pair of<br />
milestones during the 2007-08 campaign.<br />
On Dec. 11, 2007, he collected his 200 th<br />
career coach victory. A couple weeks later,<br />
Curry became the winningest coach in<br />
program history as he won his 112 th game<br />
at the helm of the Lady Bulldogs.<br />
Curry ended the season with a 217-216<br />
overall record and is 125-104 at Union.<br />
LADY BULLDOG HONOR ROLL:<br />
A number of Lady Bulldogs racked up<br />
honors during the season. Both Brooke<br />
Smith and Allison Fowler earned<br />
Appalachian Athletic Conference Player<br />
of the Week honors with Smith winning it<br />
twice and was named the NAIA Player of<br />
the Week once.<br />
In addition to Smith being named the<br />
AAC Player of the Year and making the<br />

SIOUX CITY, Iowa - Four players hit<br />
double figures as third-seeded Concordia<br />
(Neb.) University netted an 84-64 victory<br />
over Union College on Wednesday<br />
(March 12, 2008) in the opening round of<br />
the NAIA Women’s Basketball Division II<br />
National Championship Tournament.<br />
Union finishes the season with a 25-9<br />
overall record, while Concordia (25-6<br />
overall) moves on to face Davenport<br />
(Mich.) University in the round of 16<br />
Friday.<br />
Fouls and turnovers plagued Union as it<br />
committed 28 fouls and Concordia scored<br />
20 points off of Union’s 21 miscues.<br />
Union also had three players foul out<br />
while another picked up four.<br />
On the flip side, Concordia was called<br />
for 16 fouls and turned the ball over 22<br />
times, which resulted in just 10 Union<br />
points.<br />
Concordia also commanded the boards,<br />
outrebounding Union 54-40. Jenni Lovegrove<br />
recorded a double-double with 16<br />
points and a game-high 10 reobunds.<br />
Union opened the game hitting its first<br />
three shots for an 8-2 lead with 18:43 on<br />
the clock. Susanna Todd (Eubank, Ky.)<br />
and Allison Fowler (Morganfield, Ky.)<br />
each hit back-to-back 3-pointers, and<br />
Fowler hit a layup to give Union the early<br />
advantage.<br />
However, Concordia fought back and<br />
then used a 10-2 run to open up a 29-19<br />
lead with 6:54 remaining. Concordia continued<br />
to add to its lead as it took a 41-27<br />
lead into the half.<br />
In the second half, it was more of the<br />
same as Concordia led by as much as 25<br />
points (70-45) en route to the 84-64 victory.<br />
Despite the hot start, Union struggled<br />
offensively, making just a third of its shots<br />
from the field (23-of-69 shots) and from<br />
3-point range (7-of-21 shots). Union also<br />
had problems at the foul line as it shot<br />
57.9 percent (11-of-19 free throws) from<br />
the charity stripe.<br />
Brooke Smith (Pineville, Ky.) led<br />
Union with 18 points, nine rebounds and<br />
three blocks. Todd chipped in 14 points<br />
with Fowler adding 12.<br />
Joining Lovegrove in hitting double<br />
digits was Whitney Stichka with 18<br />
points, Melissa Tinkham with 12 and<br />
Stacy Scheer with 11.<br />
Concordia made 43.5 percent (27-of-62<br />
shots) from the field and hit 26-of-38 free<br />
