GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE UNIVERSITY

Founded in 1889, Georgia College & State University has grown from an ini-

tial enrollment of 88 women from within the state to an annual count of more

than 6,000 male and female students from all over the world.

Georgia College, originally founded as the sister institution to Georgia Tech,

is now the designated public liberal arts university for the state of Georgia.

Georgia College began as Georgia Normal and Industrial College, offering young

women educational opportunities in teaching, office skills and economics. The

University has been co-educational since 1967.

Georgia College’s College of Arts and Sciences and Schools of Business,

Education, and Health Science are fully accredited. The University also distin-

guishes itself by taking advantage of expanding technology resources such as elec-

tronic classrooms, an interlibrary network system, and distance learning centers.

Georgia College’s range of degree programs is the broadest in the midstate,

with more than 80 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels

offered by a highly qualified faculty in a supportive environment. As Georgia’s

public liberal arts university , the school is committed to the foundations of the

liberal arts education: preparation, adaptation, and an approach to life with a

broader perspective.

Among its academic achievements, Georgia College was the first senior col-

lege in the system to award master’s degrees in business administration and pub-

lic administration and was also the first to implement admission requirements for

completion of the high school College Preparatory Curriculum. In conjunction

with the U.S. Air Force at Robins Air Logistics Center, it operates the nation’s only

Logistics Education Center, awarding the only bachelor’s and master’s degrees in

logistics systems in the country.

Georgia College is located in Milledgeville, the antebellum capital of

Georgia. The white columns and spacious lawns of the main campus cover sev-

eral blocks of downtown Milledgeville. The block occupied by the oldest part of

the college was Milledgeville’s Penitentiary Square through most of the 19th

Century. The peach-colored stucco mansion was home to Georgia’s governors

from 1838 to 1868.

At the Milledgeville campus, the new complements the old. In the last two

decades, the college has restored or renovated many historic structures and

adapted them for office and classroom use. A diverse student body, spirited fac-

ulty, and dedicated administration study and work in many of the city’s historic

houses and buildings.

GEORGIA COLLEGE FACILITIES

Georgia College has many fine athletic facilities in which to compete high-lighted by the $9 million multipurpose Centennial Center.

The Centennial Center, which was completed in the fall of 1989, serves asthe home for the Bobcat men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as theoffices of the Bobcat athletic department and is located within the historical dis-trict of Milledgeville.

The completion of the 95,000 square-foot arena guaranteed that theBobcats would be competing in one of the finest on-campus arenas in the stateof Georgia and the southeast.

The Center has a seating capacity of 4,071 fixed seats and can accommo-date up to 800 additional persons with the arranging of chairs on the floor. Itfeatures foldout end zone and upper bleachers and three full size basketballcourts. Its primary use is for Bobcat basketball, but it also is excellent for largeevents such as concerts, conference general sessions or exhibits.

In addition, the Centennial Center serves as the home of the nationally-ranked Georgia College men’s and women’s tennis teams. Seven lighted laykoldsurface courts are located just outside of the Centennial Center.

The Centennial Center also has a three-lane 1/8-mile walking/runningindoor track, an outdoor swimming pool, weight room, four racquetball courtsand an athletic training room.

The Bobcat baseball, softball and soccer teams compete at the PeelerAthletic Complex. Located minutes from the main campus, the Peeler complexunderwent a major facelift in 1992 with the addition of box seats and the reno-vation of the backstop for the baseball field. The softball field was built in 1990,complete with a scoreboard and bleachers.

In 1996 lights were added to both parks, and the complex was dedicated toMike Peeler, the former athletics director at Georgia College. The baseball fieldwas renamed in honor of John Kurtz, the former coach who put GC baseball onthe map. New dugouts and a softball press box were constructed in the fall of2005 to match the surrounds of the campus residences at Bobcat Village.

Women’s soccer was added in 2003 and Bobcat Field was opened in the Fallof 2004 at the Peeler Complex. Both the soccer and softball fields added majesticgrandstand seating in the fall of 2009.

The golf team competes at multiple courses in the area, including LittleFishing Creek Golf Course, Cuscowilla and Harbor Club to name a few. These ven-ues provide the delicate balance of beauty and challenge every golfer desires.

The No. 29 Georgia College & State Universitywomen's tennis team takes to the court thisweekend, and Bobcat fans can use this articleas an inside look to the spring 2010 version ofone of the most decorated programs in schoolhistory.Now entering his 10th season at the helm ofGeorgia College tennis, head coach SteveBarsby has seen some of the finest years inGCSU women's tennis, amassing a 147-74record. The 2009 version made an NCAATournament appearance for the 15th straightseason.The 2010 group will rely on experience, butwith a six-player roster, will need key contribu-tions from three freshman for continued suc-cess."We're going to need every player to competeto their fullest," said Barsby. "We're going tofight and compete to find five wins someplacein the lineup, they'll come from different spotseach match."

SENIOR:Diane Danna (Paris, France) returns for herthird season, and will take over the top spot."Diane has never looked better at this point inthe year," said Barsby. She went 11-8 a seasonago at second singles, and will be a solid com-petitor in the always-tough Peach BeltConference (PBC).

JUNIOR:Now in her third season in a Bobcat uniform,Bertille Lion (Lyon, France) will also have anincreased role, competing for a middle-orderspot. She was 9-8 in singles bouts in 2009, buthas made great strides in her game and her

conditioning efforts since arriving on theGeorgia College campus.

SOPHOMORE:Adriana Acuna (Peachtree City, Ga.) joined thesquad for the spring last year. Acuna battled to a2-14 mark, and will again fight for those all-important team points at the bottom portion ofthe order.

FRESHMEN:The rookie class features three individuals thatwill factor heavily in the win-loss record forGeorgia College in 2010.Kayla Barksdale (Martinez, Ga.) will compete inthe middle-to-high portion of the order, and hasthe potential to win plenty of games for GeorgiaCollege. An All-Region performer at LakesideHigh, Barksdale has the potential to be one ofthe best Georgia-born players in program histo-ry, according to Barsby.Linda Mosa (Stockholm, Sweden) is a talentedcompetitor focused on an impact in the middleto bottom portion of the lineup. After a short fallseason, Mosa will be given plenty of chances toplay up to her potential in the spring.A region and state champion in high school atSt. Pius X, Michelle Lingner (Dunwoody, Ga.)had a strong fall season, nabbing a ‘C' Flight sin-gles and ‘B' doubles title at the annual GCSUWindstream Women's Fall Championships.Lingner has the skill set to pick up wins in thebottom third of the order.The doubles pairings are very much up for grabs,with Lingner and Barksdale teaming for a falltournament title, and Danna and Lion havingthe experience, teaming together in 2009.

2010 MEN’S TENNIS PREVIEW

2009 was arguably the best season in GeorgiaCollege men's tennis history, and 10th year headcoach Steve Barsby has the hardware to show it. TheBobcats brought home their first Peach BeltConference (PBC) Championship, and Barsby wasselected the Intercollegiate Tennis Association(ITA) Division II Men's Coach of the Year as well asPBC Men's Coach of the Year.

The 2010 group will rely on experience, as five play-ers return that saw time in the starting lineup forGeorgia College a year ago.

"We're possibly deeper than we've ever been in mytime here," said Barsby. "We may not have that mar-quee-type guy, but we're going to win a lot of match-es based on our depth."

SENIORS:

Three seniors who have seen plenty of victories intheir three seasons return for their final year inBobcat blue and green. Max Beliankou (Minsk,Belarus), Joao Casagrande (Sao Paulo, Brazil) andGiovane Nucci (Santa Catarina, Brazil) all beenstarting and winning key matches since first step-ping on the Georgia College campus three years ago.

"Max forces his opponents to make mistakes," saidBarsby. "His will to win is unmatched. He is funda-mentally strong and has a motor that won't quit."Beliankou went 15-4 last year competing mainly atfourth singles, and may have to move up a slot ortwo. He had the team's biggest victory a year ago,edging Armstrong Atlantic State University's No. 21Tim Johanssen in a three-set marathon. The victorygave the Bobcats a 5-4 win, and just enough space infront of the Pirates to pick up GCSU's first PBC title.

Casagrande is a big hitter with plenty of experience.He went 5-7 overall with a 3-2 mark in conferencematches in 2009. Casagrande will continue to pickup wins at the bottom portion of the order.

Nucci was 6-4 in 2009, and the lefty gives opponents a dif-ferent matchup. He competed in the fifth slot. "Nucci isobviously a talented tennis player," said Barsby. "He's bat-tled injuries in his time here, but when he's in the lineup,he's a competitor."

SOPHOMORES:

Leo Bernardes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) got plenty of action asa rookie in 2009 at the fourth, fifth and sixth slots, andwill continue to play in the bottom third this season.Bernardes was 7-6 a year ago, and had a solid fall includ-ing singles and doubles titles at the Windstream/GCSUMen's Fall Championships.

One of two players from the Peach State, BobbyAngelucci (Acworth, Ga.) is also coming off singles anddoubles titles at the Windstream tournament in the fall.Angelucci went 4-1 last season, including a pair of con-ference wins.

Jerome Lebornge (Coordimanche, France) joined theteam in the fall and will have sophomore eligibility status.He had an impressive spring winning Flight ‘2' singles atthe Chick-Fil-A Championships, and will give the Bobcatschances for wins at the top of the lineup.

FRESHMEN:

Three talented newcomers are featured on the 2010 ros-ter, all looking to crack the top six.

Joining the team in the spring semester were WictorAndersson (Karlskoga, Sweden), Johan Wadstein(Helsingborg, Sweden) and Tyler Franks (Eatonton, Ga.).Andersson sports a very strong fundamental game, whileWadstein is a bit more flashy, playing aggressively and try-ing to utilize the entire court to his advantage. Wadsteinfinished third at the under-18 nationals in Sweden. Bothmen will factor in near the top of the lineup. Franks,another Georgia player, has "been quite impressive in theearly spring" according to Barsby, and will get a definiteshot at a starting spot near the bottom of the lineup.

PEACH BELT CONFERENCENow entering its 20th year of existence in2009-10, the Peach Belt Conference hasbecome one of the elite Division II confer-ences in the nation. Since its inception in1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a con-sistent history of excellence which continuesto this day with 28 national championships

and 25 national finalistStarting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basket-

ball, the conference has expanded to 13 championship sports with the addition ofwomen’s golf in the fall of 2009.

The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schoolsfirst met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a secondmeeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed thePeach Belt and begin play in fall 1990.

The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national champi-onship. The Columbus State golf team took the honor by winning the 1992 nation-al crown, the first of three golf championships the Cougars own. One year later,the Lander men's tennis team began its record-breaking run of eight straightnational titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men's golf has won threestraight national titles from 2004-06 while AASU women's tennis has capturedfour titles overall.

The 2008-09 season was among the conference’s most memorable. TheArmstrong Atlantic State men’s and women’s tennis teams both won their respec-tive national championships – for the second year in a row; a feat only done oncebefore in college tennis. In addition, the Augusta State men’s basketball teambecame the first conference program to make back-to-back trips to the NCAAElite Eight, Armstrong Atlantic became the first PBC volleyball team ever toadvance to the Elite Eight and the North Georgia softball team was ranked #1 inthe nation and reached the World Series.

The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic StateUniversity, Columbus State University, Francis Marion University, GeorgiaCollege & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. Thename Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modi-fied to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000.

For 2009-10, the Peach Belt has grown once again with the addition of theUniversity of Montevallo and Flagler College, giving the PBC 13 members, themost the league has ever had. The addition of the two schools returns the PBC tothe state of Florida and expands the league into Alabama for the first time.

David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunkreplaced Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007.Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its secondera begins.

Dr. David Potter, president of North Georgia College & State University,returns as the president of the Peach Belt in 2009-10.

The conference currently holds championships in 13 sports, six for men andseven for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’ssoccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis,baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf.
