Jennifer Herzig begins her fi rst season as the head coach of the UNC Greensboro softball program. Herzig was appointed by UNCG Director of Athletics Nelson E. Bobb on June 30, 2005.

Herzig, 26, inherits a young squad, which graduated just one senior from a team that went 20-40 last season. In addition, the UNCG softball program will begin play in its newly rebuilt facility this year. The completely renovated UNCG Softball Stadium, which underwent a $3.5 million facelift in the past year, will resemble architecturally the UNCG Baseball Stadium.

“I am very excited for the opportunity to coach at UNC Greensboro and become a member of the Spartan Athletics family,” said Herzig. “First and foremost, my goal is to build a complete program that will know success on the fi eld, as well as in the classroom. I am eager to begin working with such a solid core of returning players as well as the incoming recruits.”

A 2001 graduate of Charlotte, Herzig has served as an assistant coach for the last two years at her alma mater under head coach Aimee DeVos. With the 49ers, Herzig assisted in all aspects of recruiting and other daily operations of the program, with an emphasis on working with the Charlotte hitters, infi elders, and catchers.

During her playing career, Her-zig was honored for her work in the classroom repeatedly, earning two Conference USA Academic Medals (2000-2001) and NFCA Academic All-America honors in each of her four years (1998-2001). She was a four-year letterwinner as a catcher for the 49ers.

In high school, Herzig was a three-time All-Metro honor-able mention selection (1995-97) at Manassass, VA’s Osbourn High School.

Herzig graduated cum laude from Charlotte with a bachelor of arts degree in criminal justice and a bachelor of science degree in psychology, and earned her master’s degree in physical education and sport manage-ment from East Tennessee State in 2003, where she spent two seasons as an assistant coach. She served as the pro-gram’s interim head coach during the Fall of 2002.

In addition to her work as a player and coach, Herzig has served as a coun-selor at numerous softball camps at universities across the east coast, including Florida State, Ohio State, Georgia, North Carolina, and Fur-man.


UNCG Softball Season-by-Season Record

Holly Burris begins her fi rst season as the assistant softball coach for the UNC Greensboro softball program in 2006.

A native of Germantown, TN, Burris arrives at UNCG by way of Stetson University where she starred for two seasons as a pitcher and fi rst baseman for the Hatters. Prior to her time at Stetson, Burris began her collegiate softball career playing her fi rst two seasons at the University of Mississippi where she competed primarily as a pitcher within the Southeastern Conference.

A two-year letterwinner at Mississippi, Burris led the 2000 Rebels in the circle with 10 wins, while setting a school-record by tossing 22.1 consecutive scoreless innings. She recorded all three of the Rebels’ wins over Top 25 opponents during the 2000 season and posted a team-record 119.1 innings pitched before yielding a home run. At the plate, Burris led the 2001 squad in RBI (24), doubles (13) and home runs (2). She fi nished her career compiling 19 doubles and 38 RBI while starting in 84 of 91 games she played.

During the 2002 season, Burris set the Stetson school record for home runs in a season as she belted 11 roundtrippers in her fi rst season as a Hatter. The fol-lowing season, she hit fi ve more home runs, setting the school record for career home runs in a two-year period with 16 en route to earning 2003 Atlantic Sun Softball second team all-conference accolades.

Following her playing days, Burris has worked at the University of Houston’s Fast Pitch Softball Camps as a guest pitching coach since 2003. She returned home in 2004 to become the assistant coach at her alma mater, Houston High School, in Germantown, TN. During that time, Bur- r i s also worked as a private pitching and hitting instructor for Tri-State Fastpitch in Memphis.

SoCon MembershipThe Southern Conference, which enters its 85th season of

intercollegiate competition in 2005, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earning that classifi cation in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the fi rst “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference.

The Southern Conference offi ce is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, SC. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a fi rst class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

MEMBERSHIP HISTORYThe Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at

a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools - Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. Virginia Military Institute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affi liated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history.

The fi rst occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership.

The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest offi cially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. The most recent addition, Elon University, joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced Virginia Military Institute which left the conference on June 30, 2003. East Tennessee State, which joined the SoCon in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year.

LEADERSHIPEntering the 2005 football campaign, Geoff Cabe serves as

the Southern Conference’s interim commissioner. A member of the conference staff since 1988, Cabe has been involved in every facet of the SoCon’s operation. Since 2002, he has been senior associate commissioner where his duties have included serving as the executive

producer for all of the SoCon’s championship events and coordinator of all external relationships for the conference. Cabe previously headed up the league’s media relations department (1991-95) and its championships area (1995-99) and has been both an assistant commissioner and associate commissioner.

Cabe, now in his second term as the interim commissioner, replaced Danny Morrison who served as commissioner from November 13, 2001 until June 15, 2005. Morrison recently became the director of athletics at Texas Christian University.

The Southern Conference named its fi rst commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. He was succeeded by Dave Hart in 1987 who spearheaded the transfer of the league offi ce from Charlotte, NC to Asheville, NC.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball Tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA offi ce, introduced the current SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001.

CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORYThe fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league

basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

In May of 1923, the league held its fi rst outdoor track and fi eld championship in Montgomery, Ala. Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State) captured six individual titles on its way to winning the team championship. Two other sports - cross country and tennis - held their fi rst championships during the 1920s. North Carolina won the initial cross country team championship in 1926 in Athens, Ga. Tennis crowned its fi rst singles and doubles champions in New Orleans, La. in 1928. Donald Cram of Vanderbilt was the league’s fi rst singles champion, while Leonard Chamberlin and Maurie Bayon of Tulane

won the doubles title.The 1930s saw four more sports - wrestling, indoor track

and field, swimming and golf - celebrate their first conference championships. VMI played host to and won the fi rst league wrestling team championship in 1930. Washington & Lee won the fi rst indoor track team championship, which also took place in 1930 and was held at Chapel Hill, N.C. The University of Virginia hosted and won the fi rst league swimming championship in 1933, while Duke captured the fi rst conference golf team title at Sedgefi eld Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. later that same year.

Baseball was introduced as a Southern Conference sport in 1947 as Clemson captured the league championship that year. Rifl e held its fi rst conference championship in 1956, while soccer was the most recently added men’s sport in 1967.

The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, volleyball, basketball and tennis championships were held in the league. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.

COACHES AND ADMINISTRATORSThe Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground

for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators.

Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship.

Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. In North Carolina State’s fi nal season in the league, the Wolfpack won the regular season title but fell in the tournament championship game to Wake Forest, 71-70. Despite coaching in the conference for just seven seasons, Case is the ninth winningest coach in league history and averaged 26.7 wins per year during his tenure, the best mark in conference history. Case was named Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year three times.

Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach-of-the-Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State.

Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. Holland later led Virginia to the Final Four in 1984. After his coaching career concluded, Holland returned to the Southern Conference as the athletic director at Davidson from 1990-1995 before accepting the same position at Virginia.

Even the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A former Southern Conference football coach who reached “folk legend” status is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games which still ranks tied for fourth on the league’s all-time coaching victories list.

The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at fi ve Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. William & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

Wallace Wade coached the Duke football program to six Southern Conference championships in his 16-year term as the Blue Devils head coach. Wade was the league’s all-time winningest gridiron coach with 110 victories until that mark was surpassed in 2002 by Appalachian State’s Jerry Moore.
