MEN’S COACHING rECOrdS WOMEN’S COACHING rECOrdS

Dave Paschal became Embry-Riddle University’s third head men’s tennis coach and second head women’s tennis coach in the history of the two storied programs in Aug . 2004 .

Paschal has been named The Sun Conference (formerly the Florida Sun Con-ference) Coach of the Year eight times on the men’s side and four times for the women . He has also garnered the NAIA’s highest coaching honor in both men’s and women’s tennis as he was named the men’s National Coach of the Year in 2008 and the women’s National Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012 .

Paschal is the most successful coach in both men’s and women’s tennis at ERAU, having amassed over 100 wins with each program . His coaching record with the men’s team is 152-34, while the women have posted a 124-57 mark .

In his eight seasons with Embry-Riddle, Paschal’s teams have enjoyed a great deal of success . The men’s team has captured eight consecutive conference crowns, while the women won the conference title in 2005, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and finished second in the league 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 . Prior to the re-gional realignment by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, both teams won consecutive regional titles - the men in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the women in 2005 and 2006 . Both teams have earned berths in the NAIA Na-tional Tournament in Mobile, Alabama with men going in eight consecutive seasons and the women going seven times .

Last season, Paschal led the women to their best finish since the program’s inception . After going undefeated in league play, the Eagles won the conference tournament title and went into the national tournament as the No . 3 team in the country . That rating gave the Eagles a first-round bye after which they registered back-to-back shutouts to secure the program’s second semifinal berth . The Blue and Gold drew No . 2 Fresno Pacific in the semifinal round and earned a dramatic 5-3 win over the Lady Sunbirds to advance to the national championship match for the first time in program history .

The Embry-Riddle men have advanced to the Final Four at nationals in each of the last seven seasons . The Eagles were eliminated in the semifinals for six of those trips, but in 2011, won a hard-fought, four-hour battle against Auburn Montgomery to advance to the national title match for the first time in program history, finishing

as the NAIA National Runner-Up with a 5-1 loss to Fresno Pacific .Under Paschal’s guidance, the Eagles have garnered conference Men’s Player

of the Year honors seven times and Player of the Year honors on the women’s side five times . In addition, 85 players have received either ITA or NAIA All-America recognition and each team has placed at least three student-athletes on their re-spective All-Conference rosters each of the last eight seasons .

Paschal’s coaching background includes stints as the head men’s tennis coach at NCAA Division I Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (1995-96) and as as-sistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at NCAA Division III power Washington College (Md .) (1994-95) .

Paschal also served as the head men’s tennis coach at Drake (Des Moines, Iowa) from 1996-2003 and held the women’s head coaching position from 1998-99 . During his time with the Bulldogs, Paschal helped guide his squad to the finals of the Missouri Valley Conference championship four times (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001) and qualified for the ITA Region V team championships in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003 . He coached 16 All-MVC honorees and his men’s squads garnered ITA National team rankings three times attaining their highest mark of 51st in the na-tion .

In addition to the team’s on-court success, the 1993 Southern Illinois Universi-ty-Edwardsville graduate also brings a coaching style and philosophy, which fosters academic success . He coached 20 Academic All-MVC selections and two Aca-demic All-Americans during his eight-year tenure at Drake and since his arrival at ERAU, 90 individuals have garnered ITA Scholar Athlete, NAIA Scholar Athlete, ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America and FSC All-Academic honors . Both programs have received team recognition for outstanding work in the classroom from the NAIA and the ITA . The women’s team had a cumulative grade point aver-age of 3 .3 in 2009-10, while the men’s team had a 3 .5 GPA . The women (2005) and men (2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) have also been recognized for carrying the highest GPA of any ERAU athletic team .

In the off-season, Paschal directs the highly successful Embry-Riddle Tennis Camps, which provide instruction for aspiring young tennis players .

Paschal, his wife Liz, and their sons Noah and Luke, reside in Daytona Beach .

The Sun Conference, formerly the Florida Sun Conference, is heading into its 22nd sea-son of competition and continues to be one of the most successful intercollegiate athletic conferences in the National Association of In-tercollegiate Athletics .

Under the guidance of Commissioner Mark Pope (2011-present), the league sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and wom-en’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and wom-en’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and women’s volleyball .

Sun Conference teams are perennial con-tenders for national titles . In 2011-12, 31 teams made national tournament appearanc-es . The Northwood men’s basketball team, the SCAD Savannah women’s golf team and Embry-Riddle’s women’s tennis team each finished as runner-up in their respective na-tional tournaments . Additionally, the league racked up numerous individual national titles as Embry-Riddle’s Patrick Besch won the ITA/NAIA National singles, while the Eagles’ Reta Woodard, Nicole Bonk and Crystal Bardge won national titles in track and field .

Individually speaking, student-athletes from The Sun Conference have proven themselves worthy of national recognition year after year .

In 2010-11 alone, 68 student-athletes from the league were named NAIA All-Americans, while 96 TSC athletes were also named Dak-tronics-NAIA Scholar Athletes .

The roots of The Sun Conference date back to 1990 when the league was originally formed as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference . Original membership consisted of Embry-Riddle, Flagler, Florida Memorial, Nova (now Nova Southeastern), Palm Beach Atlantic, St . Thomas, Webber International and Warner Southern .

The name “Florida Sun Conference” was adopted in 1992 . The league grew to nine members with the addition of Northwood in 1994 . Between 2002 and 2006, Nova South-eastern, Palm Beach Atlantic and Flagler moved to NCAA II, but the league was able to recruit new members as Savannah College of Art and Design joined in 2004 followed by Edward Waters in 2006 . With the addition of the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, Johnson & Wales, Southeastern, Ave Maria and Thomas (Ga .), along with Edward Waters’ move to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the league membership now stands at 12 schools .

2013 EMBRY-RIDDLE TENNISm

en’s

outlookIn 2012, the Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team

made its eighth consecutive trip to the semifinal round of the NAIA National Championship . Unlike the 2011 campaign, however, the Eagles were not one of the two teams playing on the last day of the season . This year, Head Coach Dave Paschal and the 2013 Eagle lineup are anxious to return to the title match and bring a national title back to Daytona Beach .

The Eagles will be without Adrian Bayh and Peter Francis, both of whom graduated in 2012 . Paschal notes that their leadership and their exceptional doubles play will be missed, but is confident that the combination of returning players and impactful newcomers on this year’s squad makes the Eagles strong contenders for a national team title .

“Adrian and Pete provided us with pretty good senior leadership with their work ethic and desire to be competitive . They were both exceptional doubles players and continued our tradition of being strong in doubles . Obviously we can’t overlook doubles be-cause it’s a great way to go up, but even in our last game of the year, we were up 3-0 after doubles and lost 5-4, so this year, we’re going to focus a lot on our singles play and singles development .”

The Eagles return six players from last year’s squad, including the top three players from last year’s lineup, and boast a luxury that few programs, if any, can claim: two national singles champions in the same lineup . Senior Chris Freeman won the ITA/NAIA National singles title in 2011 and junior Patrick Besch followed up his 2011 national doubles title by capturing the national singles crown in 2012 .

Freeman, repeated as The Sun Conference Player of the Year and closed out 2012 as the fifth-ranked singles player in the country with a 23-9 record . Freeman was named to the first team All-America roster for the second time in as many seasons and according to Paschal, “when he plays with the will to win, he can beat anyone in the country .”

Fresh off his national singles title, Besch enters the spring as the top-ranked player in the NAIA . He also garnered first team All-America and All-Conference honors in 2012 and, in tandem with Adrian Bayh, was named The Sun Conference Doubles Team of the Year . Bayh and Besch had a great partnership in 2012, claiming the national doubles championship and going wire-to-wire as the top-ranked duo in the NAIA before closing out the season at 24-5 .

“Patrick had a great fall, winning the national

singles championship,” Paschal stated . “We’ve kind of been expecting that of him . He is a tremendous competitor and is a fighter on the court . He has the ability to really dominate players and we’ll be looking for him to lead us at the top spots .”

Also back for his third year wearing the Blue and Gold is junior Simon Felix . After teaming up with Francis for a 23-5 doubles ledger, playing primarily at the No . 3 spot, a year ago, Felix partnered with Besch in the fall for the USTA/ITA Florida regional doubles title and a runner-up finish at the ITA Na-tional Championship . Felix was named to the All-America second team for the second time in his career after posting a 22-5 singles ledger, including a 6-0 conference mark that earned his first team All-Conference recognition .

“Simon is what we call one of the toughest outs in college tennis,” Paschal observed . “He’s a battler, so you better have some weapons and you better be ready to go for a long time to be able to beat Simon . That’s one of his greatest strengths . His demeanor on the court is fantastic; he just plays and its fun and enjoyable to watch .”

Senior David Spennare and sophomore J .R . Leon-ik split time at the fifth and sixth spots in the lineup in 2012, with Spennare finishing at 15-3 and Leonik finishing at 13-7 .

“David has grown so much over these years,” Paschal said of Spennare, who was the recipient

of the 2012 ITA Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship . “We will be looking to him for leadership this year . He has really figured out a game plan to play in his matches, and when he sticks to that plan he’s very successful .”

“J .R . had a surprisingly great year last year in doubles,” Paschal said of Leonik who partnered with Freeman for a team-best 25-4 doubles re-cord and the No . 9 spot in the final national rankings . “I think he’s going to have the same kind of success this year . He’s really helped us in doubles when teamed up with Chris and I think if he works hard and sticks to his game plan then he’s going to be competing for a spot in the lineup .”

Jose Suger returns for his second season with the Eagles . Suger posted a 2-2 record in the fall and is someone that Paschal says is “a hard worker and one of those great guys

that everyone loves to have at practice and be part of the program .”

New to this year’s lineup is the freshman quartet of Deni Zmak, Kevin Chaouat, Anthony Grasso and Miguel Lopez Gomez .

“I think Deni will have a huge impact on our pro-gram,” Paschal said of Zmak who hails from Pula, Croatia and who joined the lineup in the beginning of the spring . “He’s fit in with the team really well, has great energy, attitude, work ethic, is extremely talented and is an exceptional doubles player . With all the experience he’s had, coming up through the juniors and getting to play all over the world, I think he’s going to be one our top all-time recruits .”

Grasso and Lopez Gomez were also added to the roster in January and Paschal expects that both with impact the lineup right away . He describes Grasso, a native of Montelimar, France, as “a player with tre-mendous talent and ability who will help our pro-gram in both singles and doubles,” and notes that while there are areas of his game that Lopez Gomez needs to develop, the Madrid, Spain product is very athletic and moves very well for a player of his size .

Chaouat played in four singles and three doubles matches in the fall and is expected to be a strong contributor to the doubles lineup .

“We have a good core of our group back from last year’s team and we’ve added some new guys who will immediately impact the lineup,” Paschal said . “The guys that we have are all very focused individu-als in every aspect of their career here at Embry-Rid-dle, whether it’s flying or becoming a flight instructor or playing tennis . I think the question for us is who will take on the leadership role, and who will push the other guys to get better every day at practice . For the guys that are returning, they’ve been in the national finals or played against the team that won it, so if we get back there this year, nothing should be a surprise for us .”

All but two of the Eagles matches will be played at Embry-Riddle’s Crotty Tennis Complex in 2013 . Once again, Paschal has put together a challenging slate, featuring seven ranked NCAA II opponents, including two in the top five, and five ranked NAIA opponents . The Crotty Tennis Complex will once again be the site of the 2013 Sun Conference Championships Apr . 19-21 . The conference tour-nament champion will earn an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala ., May 15-18 .

“Our schedule is typical of what we’ve had over the last few years where we play a lot of nationally ranked NCAA II teams, a few ranked NAIA teams and a couple of NCAA I teams,” Paschal com-mented . “It’s definitely the kind of schedule that will challenge us and prepare us for the national tourna-ment .”

2013 EMBRY-RIDDLE TENNISw

omen’s

outlook2012 marked an historic season for the Embry-

Riddle women’s tennis team . ERAU Head Coach Dave Paschal’s lineup, overflowing with talent and experience, dropped just one doubles match en route to retaining The Sun Conference regular season title for the third consecutive season . The Eagles carried the momentum of their dominant regular season performance all the way to a berth in the championship match of the NAIA National Tour-nament, a first in program history, administering three 5-0 shutouts along the way . The team finished the season No . 2 in the country, compiling a record-breaking 23 wins .

Now, after graduating four of the top six players from a season ago, including Yi Ching Chen, Josefine Strom, Rocio Frej Vitalle and Etkaterina Kamendova, Paschal believes the experience of his returning players and the continued development of young talent will be the recipe for the success of this year’s team .

“Obviously we lost a lot,” Paschal stated . “It was a team that was together for two years that set all kinds of records on the women’s side . We know it’s going to be a rebuilding year . We’ll be looking for our returners to move up in the lineup and also be the leaders on the team .”

One of those key returners is junior Kristina Ma-rova . The native of Stare Sediste, Czech Republic brings experience and leadership to an Eagles’ team in need of both . Marova compiled a 21-8 record in a dominant 2012 lineup, playing the majority of her matches at the No . 4 spot, while also teaming up with fellow junior Paola Montero for a 22-5 doubles record . Entering the season ranked 17th in the ITA preseason polls, Marova will team up with newcom-er Hui-I Huang at the top doubles spot after the duo finished third in the USTA/ITA National Champion-ships this fall, earning a No .4 ranking in the ITA pre-season doubles poll .

“We’ll be looking to Kristina for some leadership this year,” said Paschal . “She has great talent, great focus and she’s a hard worker .”

Montero (Maracay, Venezuela) anchored the No .

6 spot in the lineup last season, turning in a 15-7 overall record and a 6-0 mark in league play on the way to first team All-Conference recognition .

“Paola is a great competitor and a crafty player,” Paschal commented . “She plays to win and usually has the ability to figure out her opponents . We’ll be looking for her to step up in the conference .”

“I’m really impressed with what type of physical shape she’s got herself in,” Paschal said of junior Elise Lagerstrom (Gresham, Ore .) . She’s much more fit on the court, so it has made her much more com-petitive . I think she’ll have potential to compete for a spot in the lineup as well .”

Sophomore Giovanna Tomiotto saw limited play-ing time a year ago, but is expected to figure in the everyday lineup in 2013 . Hailing from Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, she matched her 2012 overall singles record with a 3-2 mark in fall play .

“One of the greatest things about Giovanna is her fight and her ability to will herself to a win,” Paschal observed . “She’s very competitive and I expect that she will battle through some matches and win them for us .”

Redshirt freshman Hui-I Huang will contribute

immediately in her first season with the team . The Changhua, Taiwan native had a solid fall, finishing the season as the USTA/ITA Florida Regional runner-up, earning a No .7 ranking in the ITA preseason polls . Paschal speculates that confidence combined with her talent will make her a special player at ERAU .

Ana Lew returns to the Eagle roster after a one-year hiatus . She played sparingly in the 2011 cam-paign, going just 3-3 on the year, but Paschal notes that she has the ability to play at a high level and with more discipline and consistency she is expected to compete for a spot in the lineup .

New to this year’s lineup are freshmen Ana Gonzalez-Hoy and Meena Bennett . Gonzalez-Hoy is originally from Merida, Mexico but completed her high school curriculum at Saddlebrook Prep in Tampa . Paschal regards her as a “talented freshman who can hit hard and create shots”, and he expects that she will figure into the mix right away .

Bennett (San Diego, Calif .) enjoyed success at the high school level, including competing at the USTA Junior Team Tennis National tournament in 2010 .

“Meena is probably one of the best athletes on our team,” Paschal said . “She can do a lot with the ball and her athleticism allows her to bring some things to our team that others don’t .”

The Blue and Gold will be tested early on in the 2013 campaign as the first five contests will include three teams ranked among the Top 20 in NCAA II . The Eagles will have the luxury of playing the ma-jority of their matches within the friendly confines of ERAU’s Crotty Tennis Complex with only three of the 17 regular season contests being played on the road .

Paschal admits that the 2013 slate will be a chal-lenging one for the young Eagles’ squad .

“The schedule is very tough,” Paschal said . “But it will also be an opportunity for our players to try to raise their level . We play a lot of the top NCAA II teams that were tough match-ups for us when we were one of the top NAIA teams . Now we get to face those programs now with a young team . But there are opportunities to grow, even if we don’t win those matches, so hopefully, whether we win them or not we can focus on development and growth to get us to April when we play our conference cham-pionships .”

For the third straight year, the Crotty Tennis will be the site of the 2013 Sun Conference Tournament, Apr . 19-21 . The tournament champion will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA National Champion-ship at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala ., May 15-18 .

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is the world’s oldest, largest and most pres-tigious university specializing in aviation and aerospace . The curriculum covers the operation, engineering and research of modern aircraft, alternative vehicles and clean energy systems and the management of aviation and aerospace organizations .

Approximately 34,000 students pursue degrees from among 40 degree programs at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Fla ., and Prescott, Ariz ., and at more than 150 education centers for working professionals in the United States, Canada, Eu-rope and the Middle East . Embry-Riddle also offers online coursework .

Embry-Riddle’s worldwide reputation for academic excellence draws students from all 50 states and nearly 90 nations .

The 185-acre Daytona Beach campus, located next to Daytona Beach Interna-tional Airport, has 4,600 undergraduate and 610 graduate students . Excellent flying weather and the resort communities surrounding the Daytona Beach campus offer students an outstanding environment in which to study, fly and enjoy numerous rec-reational and cultural activities . The campus is within an hour’s drive of the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and within easy reach of Orlando and Jacksonville, which offer a menu of arts, culture, theme parks, shopping and professional sports .

HistoryOn Dec . 17, 1925, 22 years after the historic flight of the Wright Flyer, barnstorm-

er John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T . Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio . The following spring the company opened the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation .

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University began with a simple plan to train airplane pilots in a thorough, efficient manner and to cash in on a booming post-World War I interest in flying . Today, Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education .

After a period of decline in the 1930s, Embry-Riddle sprang to life again in Miami, Fla ., as World War II erupted in Europe and the demand for aviators and mechanics surged . Allied nations sent more than 25,000 young men to Embry-Riddle’s Florida centers to become pilots and aviation technicians . During the Korean War the U .S . Air Force contracted with Embry-Riddle to train airmen in the fundamentals of airplane maintenance .

In the following decades, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreach and strengthened its academic programs . In 1965, Embry-Riddle consolidated its flight training, ground school and technical training programs into one location . With dol-lars and trucks borrowed from civic leaders, the move to Daytona Beach signaled the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to world-class status .

AcademicsEmbry-Riddle is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern As-

sociation of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor and master levels .

At many public universities, freshmen and sophomores are taught by graduate as-sistants, but not so at Embry-Riddle . Classes, which average 25 students, are taught by faculty who are accessible to students in class, during office hours and through university-wide voice mail and e-mail .

HousingEmbry-Riddle’s on-campus housing is an integral part of the university experience .

It gives students the opportunity to develop lifelong friendships and to appreciate the unique values that everyone brings to this diverse institution .

Students can choose from eight housing styles ranging from suites to efficiency apartments to traditional residence hall designs . All campus student rooms have telephone service, Internet access and satellite TV connection . Lounges, study and meeting rooms, game rooms and other common areas are available to all .

The housing facilities are enhanced by four campus dining locations, a fitness

2013 EMBRY-RIDDLE TENNISSteve Ridder has been at the

helm of the Embry-Riddle ath-letic program since the 1993-94 season, overseeing major changes in the department . During his tenure, Ridder has positioned Embry-Riddle among the elite athletic programs in the nation . The University has increased its number of varsity sports offered from five in 1994,

to its current level of 17, and the athletic department staff has grown from five full-time staff members in 1993 to 41 today .

The 2009-10 season marked one of the most successful campaigns in Embry-Riddle Athletics history . ERAU Athletics has consistently been one of the best programs in The Sun Conference and in the NAIA and 2009-10 was no different as the Eagles captured conference regular season titles in 12 of their 13 sports programs and competed in 13 national tournament events . In 2010-11, the Eagles’ collective successes on the national stage resulted in a program-best second place finish in the NAIA Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings and their unprecedented dominance in league competition afforded the Blue and Gold its 12th consecutive Sun Conference Commis-sioner’s Cup title .

2011-12 proved to be another banner year for the Embry-Riddle athletic program with the Eagles capturing their 13th straigh Sun Conference Commisioner’s Cup, finishing third in the NAIA Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup race and sending 11 teams to their respective national tournaments .

Aside from the Blue and Gold’s success on the playing field, Ridder may be most proud of what the student-ath-letes have been able to achieve in the classroom during his tenure . The entire athletic program combined for a 3 .043 grade point average last year, which is higher than the gen-eral student body at Embry-Riddle for the 12th-straight year . In addition, more than 250 student-athletes have garnered

Academic All-Conference accolades, over 100 have been recognized as Daktronics/NAIA Scholar-Athletes and over 10 have received the prestigious CoSIDA Academic All-America award .

Ridder has also received personal honors for leading the ERAU athletic program . He received the highest NAIA honor of Athletics Director of the Year for 2005-06 and was recog-nized at the 66th Annual NAIA Convention held in Kansas City, Missouri . He has also been named the NACDA-NAIA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year three times, with the most recent honor being bestowed in June 2007, and has been honored as “Athletic Administrator of the

Year” by The Sun Conference on eight occasions (1994, 1998, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) .

The awards he has received are synonymous with Rid-der’s character and passion for Eagle Athletics . They rec-ognize the efforts of athletic directors at all levels for their commitment and positive contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities .

Ridder has developed, designed and overseen many im-provements, which have fostered the success of athletics at Embry-Riddle . Among those enhancements are the addition of the Sports Information Office and the start of women’s

athletics with volleyball in 1995 . In 1998, he oversaw the implementation of women’s soccer and in 1999 women’s tennis was established, while women’s golf, men’s cross country and women’s cross country followed in 2000 . Var-sity sport opportunities were increased to 16 with the addi-tion of men’s and women’s track in 2004-05 and will move to 17 when softball begins competition in 2012-12 .

Ridder believes in giving his coaches and staff top-level facilities to achieve success and he has certainly worked hard to make Embry-Riddle’s facilities among the best in the nation, primarily through his successful campaigning . Under his watchful eye, Eagle Athletics has gone from playing and

practicing at various venues in the local commu-nity to finding a home on campus with state-of-the-art facilities, which include the ICI Center for volleyball and basketball, the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium, the Ambassador E . William Crotty Tennis Complex, the Sliwa Stadium for baseball, and the Embry-Riddle Track & Field Complex .

Ridder’s guidance and leadership has attracted tremendous respect within the NAIA and this ad-miration has allowed Embry-Riddle to host eight national championships including men’s and women’s golf and men’s and women’s soccer .

Ridder is in his 22nd year as head basketball coach for Embry-Riddle and has led the Eagles to the NAIA National Tournament 11 times, with eight Sun Conference regular-season champion-ships, as well as eight conference tournament titles . In 2000, Ridder’s squad captured the school’s first national championship . His squads

are regularly ranked among the top 20 nationally, holding the number one ranking during the entire 2000-01 season, and have produced 28 All-Americans and nine All-America Scholar Athletes .

Ridder earned his master’s degree in Physical Education/Sports Administration from Eastern Kentucky University and his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Berea College .

Ridder and his wife, Vicky, have four children: Ryan, Ra-chel, Rob and Reed . The Ridder family resides in Ormond Beach .

The Braddock Education Success Team (BEST) Program was incorporated into the Embry-Riddle Athletic Program during the 1999-00 academic year . The BEST Program is a branch of the Braddock Foundation, which was estab-lished by Robert & Lois Braddock . It is currently sponsored by their daughter and Spruce Creek Fly-in resident, Cherie Keemar, and was initiated by her late husband, Michael .

The BEST program offers tutoring and mentoring programs to assist student-athletes in managing their time between academics, athletics and social develop-ment . One of the fundamental components of the BEST Program is Study Hall, which is for student-athletes who are required to attend according to stipulations set by each respective team’s coaching staff . Study Hall is a place where tutors and mentors are available for student-athletes throughout the academic year . With its clearly defined criteria and rules of conduct, Study Hall strives to provide

a structured environment that will benefit student-athletes by improving study habits, honing focus and providing one-on-one learning opportunities . It is not intended to be a substitute for regular class attendance and routine study, but is designed as an essential tool to help student-athletes achieve their academic objectives .

Dave Therneau serves as the Academic Enhancement Coordinator of the BEST Program . He and other BEST Program staff members oversee the daily operations of the Academic Advancement Center where all students, including athletes, can go and receive tutoring in many of the courses and subjects that are part of the curriculum at Embry-Riddle .

Embry-Riddle is in the process of constructing a new College of Arts & Sci-ences building . In it will house a 9,000 square foot facility dedicated to the Uni-versity’s Academic Achievement Center, which includes the BEST Program .

Embry-Riddle Champions of Character Quick Facts• John Mark Adkison, ERAU’s Champions of Character Liaison

• 1570+ hours of community service by ERAU student-athletes in 2011-12

• ERAU named a 2011-12 NAIA Champions of Character Five Star Institution

The Champions of Character initiative was established by the NAIA to help promote the “right thing” by those affili-ated with sports both inside and outside the sports setting . In so doing, the organization looks to develop exemplary character and sportsmanship in NAIA competition .

Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship . This program educates and create awareness of the positive character-building traits afforded by sports and returns integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society .

Under the guidance of Assistant Athletic Director John Mark Adkison, who serves as ERAU’s Champions of Character liaison, the Embry-Riddle Athletic Depart-ment has enthusiastically embraced the implementation of the NAIA Champions of Character initiative . For years the department has sought to instill in student-athletes the very values addressed by the movement .

Embry-Riddle’s intercollegiate teams participate in Champions of Character events throughout the school year, including:• Elementary school reading programs• Habitat for Humanity• Food Brings Hope• Beach clean-up• Children’s Home Society Christmas Drive• Embry-Riddle Housing move-in • Serving Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless

In addition to these events, the department instituted a Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) that assists in the planning of Champions of Character events within the community .

National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics

Throughout its history, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate sports . Since its intro-duction of intercollegiate championship basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained the highest standards while administering first-rate athletics programs .

With its major emphasis on education and character development, it was natural for the NAIA to further strengthen academic eligibility requirements in the 1980s . All NAIA participating student-athletes must maintain a 2 .0 grade-point-average (GPA) while accumulating credit hours for a declared academic degree . Unlike other as-sociations, NAIA student-athlete academic eligibility is monitored on a term-by-term basis .

Since 1937, the NAIA has administered programs and championships in proper bal-ance with the overall educational experience . In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its pur-pose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport .
