2014 Appalachian State Field Hockey Media Guide

1 @APPFIELDHOCKEY2014 APPALACHIAN FIELD HOCKEY

After years of sharing a field with the Appalachian State football program at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the field hockey team has finally found its own home. The field, which was the home of the App State soccer team in the past, introduced a new advanced Astroturf. The Astroturf has its own water system in order to keep the turf wet during play, allowing for optimal playing conditions. The field is filled with parking and a 450 person stand. Modifications to the stadium in the future will include a new scoreboard, locker rooms and a press box area.

BRANDI ALEXANDER KISTHead Coach • Ninth Season • Pennsylvania, 2003

Brandi Alexander Kist enters her ninth year at the helm of the Appalachian State University field hockey team in 2014. During her tenure, Kist has coached 12 all-NorPac selections and has also seen her team achieve great academic success as the Mountaineers have earned over 100 CFCHA/NFHCA awards for academic excellence.

For three-straight years (2008, ’09, ’10) Appalachian field hockey earned NFCHA academic team honors for a cumu-lative team GPA of 3.0 or better. In addition, her 2011 squad captured an NCAA Public Recognition award for ranking in the top 10 percent among all field hockey squads in Academic Progress Rate (APR)

Kist began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Lin-denwood University, where she helped directly with the de-fense. She helped guide the team to a winning record in each of her two years. In 2003, the Lions claimed the KIT Conference Championship and followed that in with an appearance in the 2004 Independent Schools Postseason Tournament.

Kist joined the staff at Appalachian in 2005 and, in her first year coaching at the Division I level, she helped both Erica Muschamp and Kate Ryno earn all-NorPac honors After just one year as an assistant, Kist was named head coach of the Mountaineers.

Kist has also helped usher Appalachian into a new era as her efforts were key in finding the field hockey squad a perma-nent home. After years of sharing Kidd Brewer Stadium with

Appalachian State’s football and track & field squads, field hockey received its own home for the start of the 2014 season.

During the fall of 2013, renovations began at the site of the old Mountaineer Soccer Stadium at the State Farm Complex. By the fall of 2014 Brandon and Erica M. Adcock Field at Appalachian Field Hockey Stadium officially opened. The lead gift was provided by Brandon and Erica Adcock – Erica was an all-NorPac selection for Appalachian in 2006 and ’07.

Alexander played collegiately at the University of Pennsylva-nia, where she was named the team’s Most Improved Player in 2001 and served as team captain in 2002. As a defender, Alexander also participated with the University of Technolo-gy in Sydney, Australia, and with the U.S. Field Hockey’s Elite Performance Training Center.

Alexander graduated from Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s de-gree in classical studies in 2003 and received a master’s degree in sports management from Lindenwood in 2005.

Appalachian State University field hock-ey not only takes pride in its accomplish-ments on the field, but for the perfor-mance of its student-athletes in the classroom as well.

The Mountaineer program has estab-lished a tradition of academic success, and its scholastic achievements over the past 19 years rival that of any program in the country.

Since 1994, Appalachian has placed 168 student-athletes on the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) academic squad, including a record-ty-ing 15 in 2011. And to be eligible for the squad, a student athlete must have a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2008, ‘09, and ‘10 squads were also honored with an NFHCA team award, in recognition of the team’s overall GPA above 3.0.

Appalachian State University field hockey was honored in 2011-12 with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for its latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) score released by the NCAA.

Teams honored by the NCAA earned multiple Academic Progress Report (APR) scores in the top 10 percent for the past four years. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 academic years.

Appalachian was one of eight Southern Conference institutions to have a team honored with the Public Recognition Award . The APR is designed to provide a real-time look at a team’s academic suc-cess each semester by tracking the aca-demic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 965 to a perfect 1000.

CFHCA/NFHCA NATIONAL ACADEMIC SQUAD HONOREESAcademic Excellence


Field hockey was introduced at Appa-lachian State University in the fall of 1968. The first intercollegiate sport for the female population on campus, Appalachian’s field hockey program is one of the oldest in the state of North Carolina. The success of the field hockey pro-gram at Appalachian is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of Dr. Jan Wat-son. Dr. Watson served as head field hock-ey coach from the inaugural season in 1968 through 1972 and again from 1974 until 1983. Under Dr. Watson’s direction, Appala-chian’s field hockey enjoyed an unparal-leled level of success. In 15 years as head coach, she posted an impressive win-loss record of 157-65-32. Her 157 wins remain a school record.

Dr. Watson’s participation in college athletics goes far beyond her work at Ap-palachian. One of the most prominent ad-vocates for the advancement of women’s athletics in the country, Watson co-found-ed the Deep South Field Hockey Associ-ation with Ruth Reid of Furman and also served as the association’s first president. Watson also served as the Appalachianeer of the Association of Intercollegiate Athlet-ics for Women, which disbanded in 1983. Dr. Watson was inducted into the Appala-chian Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.

In 1993, the Women’s Field Hockey Endowment was found-ed to provide a venue by which former players, friends, and supporters of the program could assist with the program’s scholarship efforts. In 1997, the endowment was renamed the Dr. Jan Watson Endowment for Field Hockey in recogni-tion of the contributions Dr. Watson has made to the Field Hockey program at Appalachian. Currently, the endowment has a cash value of over $42,000 with an additional $30,000 in pledges resulting from the University’s “Campaign for the Second Century”.

The Dr. Jan Watson Endowed Scholarship

Appalachian placed 57 players on the Deep South All-Star team during Wat-son’s tenure.

RICK

BEASLEYINTERIM DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSNINTH YEAR AT APP STATE Rick Beasley, one of the most decorated student-athletes in Appalachian State University history, was named interim director of athletics by Appalachian State Chancellor Dr. Sheri N. Everts on Aug. 15, 2014. Beasley has been a member of the athletics administration at his alma mater since 2006. He came to Appalachian State as a senior associate athletics director and was promoted to deputy athletics director in 2014. In his role, Beasley served as the athletics depart-ment’s chief development officer and was heavily involved in the department’s day-to-day operations. Appalachian State athletics has enjoyed unprecedented fund-raising success under Beasley’s leadership. After never topping $700,000 in any full year prior to his arrival, the Yosef Club (Ap-palachian State athletics’ fundraising arm) has raised at least $1 million in each of Beasley’s eight full years at the University and has surpassed the $3 million mark each of the past two years. Additionally, Beasley has overseen the solicitation of donations for naming rights and premium seating that has funded much of Appalachian State’s $50 million in athletics facility enhancements since his arrival. An all-America wide receiver at Appalachian State from 1977-80, Beasley set seven school records during his playing career and remains the program’s all-time leader in yards per reception (17.6) and 100-yard games (16) in a career. In addition to being named a second-team Associated Press All-American in 1979, he was also the Southern Conference Male Athlete of the Year in 1979-80, a three-time all-conference performer and an academic all-conference honoree. For 17 years prior to his return to Appalachian State (1989-2006), Beasley served as the city manager for Conover, N.C. As city manag-er, he served at the pleasure of the city council and was responsible

for the administration of all city departments. Beasley was also the town manager of Scotland Neck, N.C. (1985-89) and an assistant city manager in Lenoir, N.C. (1982-85). Beasley earned both a B.A. in political science with a minor in economics and a M.A. with a concentration in local government from Appalachian. His wife, Diana, is director of teacher education recruitment for the Appalachian State office of admissions. She earned a M.A. in higher education administration and university and community leadership from Appalachian. The Beasleys live in Boone.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Nearly half of Appalachian’s student-athletes typically earned inclusion on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 grade-point average or higher while completing at least 24 hours in two semesters.SoCon success Before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014, the Mountaineers won 34 Southern Conference Commissioner’s cups for overall excellence in men’s athlet-ics, with 2013-14 being its ninth-straight year to win. No other school claimed the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since it was first awarded in 1970. While in the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers earned league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer, softball and men’s tennis. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. • 96 – number of student-athletes earning Academic all-Conference honors • 42% – percentage of Appalachian student-athletes earning a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25 • 3.03 – student-athletes’ overall cumulative GPA following the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year • 13 of 20 – the number of varsity programs at Appalachian with multi-year APR scores that exceeded the national averages for their respective sports (beginning with the 2009-10 acadmic year and ending in 2012-13)

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-ath-letes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an envi-ronment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing Appalachian is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its

athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifi-cations, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its ef-fects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthu-siasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

APPALACHIAN TIMELINE APPALACHIAN TODAY

Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in Amer-ica,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards,” U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orches-tra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

Dr. Sheri N. Everts joined Appalachian State University as its seventh leader in July 2014. Previously, she had been provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University since 2008.

A Nebraska native who attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse, Everts graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in English instruction and second-ary education. After teaching middle school and high school English in Kansas and Nebraska, she returned to UNL, where she earned a master’s degree in

literacy education and English (1991) and a doctorate in administration, curriculum and instruction (1994). Everts began her higher education career in 1994 as an assistant profes-sor in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Rising through the academic and administrative ranks at UNO, she was named assistant vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, promoted to associate vice president in 2003, and named interim senior vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2006. She served in that interim capacity until June 30, 2008, when she left Nebraska to become provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University. In accepting her position as chancellor, Everts said she is fortunate to be able to build on the strength of Chancellor Peacock’s legacy and that the Appalachian Family and Appalachian’s tradition of excellence in undergraduate experience will continue under her leadership.
