Penelope Ward Kyle became Radford University’s sixth, and first female, president when she took office on June 1, 2005. She came to RU with more than 30 years of experience in state government, the corporate and legal worlds, and higher education.

Upon assuming the presiden-cy, President Kyle immediately focused on leading the univer-sity’s initiative to become one of the top 50 masters universi-ties in the nation. The Rad-

ford University strategic plan “7-17”, completed in 2007 at her direction, identifies four strategic directives -- the investment in people, programs, global and local society and the future of Rad-ford University.

Under President Kyle’s leadership, the univer-sity also added its first doctoral program with an emphasis in rural mental health and launched an initiative to grow graduate college student enrollment by offering additional doctoral and masters level programs. She hired the university’s first provost and created two new vice presiden-tial areas of responsibility, Information Technolo-gy and University Relations. The Radford Univer-sity Board of Visitors, at President Kyle’s request, has increased its membership by four positions to provide an opportunity for more diversity and leadership innovation within the governing body.

A native of southwest Virginia, President Kyle is a product of the Galax public schools system. She graduated from Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina and did her postgraduate stud-ies in English at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Law and later earned her MBA from the College of William and Mary.

President Kyle served as Executive Director of the Virginia Lottery for 11 years, under three suc-cessive governors. First appointed by Governor George Allen in 1994, she was reappointed by Gov-ernor James Gilmore, and then reappointed once again by Governor Mark Warner. Previously, Ms. Kyle was employed by CSX Corporation, an interna-tional transportation company, where she became the company’s first female officer. Before join-ing CSX Corporation, she was an attorney with McGuire, Woods, LLP in Richmond. She also taught English for six years at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton, Virginia.

President Kyle serves in leadership positions on numerous educational, civic, cultural, profession-al, financial and volunteer organizations. She served on the Board of Visitors at James Madison University from 1984 until 1992 and on the JMU Foundation Board from 1992 until 1994. She also served on the Virginia Commonwealth University Foundation Board from 1994 until 2000 and on the Board of Governors of Saint Christopher’s School

from 1999 until 2005. President Kyle is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Board of Directors of PRA, Inc., a publicly traded company.

Ms. Kyle is married to Charles L. Menges, an attorney and partner with McGuire, Woods, LLC. They are the parents of a son, Kyle Ward Menges, and two daughters, Penelope Whitley Menges, and Patricia Lee Menges.

ROBERT LINEBURGDIRECTOR OF

ATHLETICS

Since being introduced as Rad-ford University’s Director of Ath-letics in the fall of 2007, Radford native Robert Lineburg has helped usher in a new era of Highlander athletics, marked by unprecedent-ed on-and off-field improvements and successes.

In his short time with the department, Lineburg has been the catalyst for a number of changes, particularly in areas such as facilities, personnel and strategic planning.

His most visible influence to date has been on the Dedmon Center, where Lineburg has been

involved with major renovations to the centerpiece of Radford athletics for more than 25 years. Beginning in the spring of 2008,

the facility underwent transformations to the arena, including a new steel-supported roof, a new basketball floor, renovated athletic offices, a new-look natatori-um, and improved athletic locker, training, and medi-cal facilities.

Lineburg has also overseen the hires of four new head coaches, as well as five new athletic administra-tors. His hires include women’s basketball head coach Taj Njongba, head volleyball coach Marci Jenkins, wom-en’s head golf coach Jeff Beeler, and the promotion of track and field interim director Brent Chumbley to head coaches’ status. Among the administrators added in Lineburg’s tenure are executive associate A.D. Randy Butt, head athletic trainer David Jager, assistant A.D. for communications Joey Beeler, director of student-athlete support services/SWA Stephanie Ballein, and as-sociate A.D. for external operations Greg Herring.

As a result of the changes, Radford achieved a ban-ner year in 2008-09: women’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s tennis and softball claimed Big South confer-ence crowns and advanced to NCAA Tournament play. Women’s soccer advanced to its fourth tournament, men’s basketball won the Big South regular-season and tournament to advance to the NCAAs for the first time since 1998, men’s tennis made its third-straight appear-ance, and softball appeared for the first time and won Radford’s first NCAA tournament game in any sport.

He and his staff have also been responsible for creating a five-year strategic plan for the Radford athletic department and building an athletics facilities

master plan. Additional achievements include usher-ing in a new athletics Internet site (RadfordAthletics.com), and helping implement a new ticket system (Ticket Return). Lineburg and his staff have also hosted top-level competition, with three Big South championships taking place on the Radford campus in 2008-09 (men’s basketball, track & field and softball).

In addition to making an impact on Radford athlet-ics, Lineburg is also involved in a number of different organizations and committees. He is the chairman of the Big South Conference Subcommittee on Basketball Improvement, a member of the Big South ad-hoc Com-mittee on Basketball Issues, and a member of the selec-tion committee to select Radford University’s Vice President for Advancement.

Prior to becoming Radford’s third Director of Ath-letics, Lineburg’s corporate knowledge was groomed as a marketing associate with Peloton Real Estate Partners in Dallas, Texas.

Along with his business experience, Lineburg spent 15 seasons as a college basketball coach, including time as Southern Methodist’s (Dallas, Texas) interim head coach. Prior to serving as the Mustangs interim head coach, Lineburg spent eight years as an assistant coach at SMU. Following his interim tenure, he served two more seasons as an assistant at Southern Methodist.

Lineburg’s coaching resume also includes assistant coaching positions with the men’s basketball pro-grams at James Madison University and Emory & Henry College, as well as with the Dallas Mavericks summer league team. His coaching experience also took him through the Big South, as he spent time on the sideline at UNC Greensboro.

A 1991 graduate of Roanoke College, Lineburg started his collegiate basketball career as a Radford Highlander, where he was a two-year letterman before transferring to nearby Roanoke College to play his final two years.

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in political science with a minor in history. In 1995, he received a Master’s Degree in education from Virginia Tech, where he was also a graduate assistant on the men’s basketball staff.

Lineburg is the son of retired Radford High School football coach and athletic director Norman Line-burg and the brother of Dr. Mark Lineburg, the Assis-tant Superintendent of Amherst County Schools, Paul Lineburg, the Assistant Principal at Cave Spring H.S. and Wayne Lineburg, who is in his second season as the wide receivers coach at the University of Virginia.

He is married to the former Mary Parish, also a na-tive of Radford.

ATHLETE SUPPORT

DAVE JAGERHEAD ATHLETIC

TRAINER

The department of sports medicine at Radford University is deeply concerned with both the short-term and long-term effects of intercollegiate competition on the physical and mental well being of the student-athlete.

The sports medicine department is committed to providing quality health care to all varsity student-athletes, which begins with injury prevention. It is a priority to work with coaches, physicians, and the rest of the medical com-munity to ensure that student-athletes are physically and men-tally prepared for practice and

competition. Additionally, the sports medicine

staff is responsible for the treat-ment and rehabilitation of all athletically related injuries. It is the staff’s goal to return the athlete to a level equal or above that of their pre-injury status; no athlete will return to play until his or her highest post-injury level of function has been achieved.

Lastly, the concern from the physical well being of the student-athlete includes the opposition to the use of all illegal and NCAA-banned chemical substances by student-athletes. It is the responsibility of the sports medicine staff to provide athletes with information on the ill effects of drug use and to provide deter-rents through periodic, random drug testing by the institution and the NCAA.

The mission of the Student-Ath-lete Support Services (SASS) office for Radford University Athletics is to promote, assist, and provide counsel to all student-athletes. Its primary, constant goal is to de-velop graduates and outstanding citizens who have contributed in the areas of athletic competition during their tenures of educa-tion.

Located in the Dedmon Ath-letic Center, the newly established Learning Enhancement Center is equipped with computers, tutorial rooms, and a study lounge.

The Learning Enhancement Center provides direction for student-athletes via academic counseling in conjunction with advisors from the respective col-

leges at Radford University. Academic support services such as tutoring and supervised study hall are provid-ed, as well as career planning, monitoring of eligibil-ity status, and a host of other guidance and advisory services.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college ath-letics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the class-room. The League’s growing pres-ence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and me-dia partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic com-petition while intentionally foster-ing the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete.

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Chris-tenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charles-ton Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Com-missioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Rad-ford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander

replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressive-ly promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as in-creased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique tV packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initi-ated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Confer-ence committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the ad-ditions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technolog-ical advancements, as the Confer-ence introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member in-stitutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South has experienced monumen-tal growth and success in nearly

every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scor-ing leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Champion-ships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event.

The Conference’s tagline, “Devel-oping Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunc-tion with the Conference’s 25th An-niversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty Universi-ty’s 10-year women’s basketball cham-pionship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The league has had more than 95 academic all-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

2009-10 WOMEN’S TENNIS ROSTER

BY CLASSSeniors 0Juniors 3Sophomores 4Freshman 0

Q: Before we get to the 2010 season, what were your thoughts at the conclusion of the 2009 season with regards to the team’s play and outlook for the future?

HARRISON: Strong potential for the future. We finished 2009 with freshman at the one and two spots with an 14-5 and 14-4 overall records. We had sophomores playing in the third and fourth positions. We are returning a young and talented group of players who are very coach-able and understand what it takes to win.

Q: How did the players do in the fall tourna-ments and who do you think has made the most improvements from the fall until now? HARRISON: This fall we saw Ivana Tomaic-win some big matches and is looking stronger than ever. Mirna Matic has made some positive changes in her game, playing a much more patient style and it is paying off for her. Mia Drobnjak has moved into the top spot. She is playing with a new found confidence realizing that she can be a force at the top.

Q: How do you think the Big South shakes up this year as a conference and where does Radford stand? HARRISON: The women’s programs in the Big South continue to get stronger and this year we will see even stronger teams. Look for Charles-ton Southern, Winthrop and Coastal Carolina to make a run for the Championship. These three programs are all playing at a nationally- ranked level. Radford, UNC Asheville and Gardner-Webb get stronger every year and this year will

be no exception. These three teams will play competitive matches with the top three programs looking to upset them and move up the confer-ence ladder. Radford, Gardner-Webb and UNC Asheville will have some very close matches against each other as well.

Q: Talk a little bit about the 2010 season. What are your general thoughts? HARRISON: I am very excited about what 2010 has in store for us. First of all, we are very fortunate to have James Lloyd as our assistant coach. James has such a strong tennis back-ground and he is so good at what he does as a coach, player and motivator. We couldn’t have asked for a better coach to help our team move forward. The next thing is the group of young ladies, they are such a fun group to be with. I look forward to the practices and matches. When you have a team that is having fun, working hard and is coachable, then you make progress. This team has great potential and it is going to be a good year.

Q: Since returning most of your key contribu-tors from last season, who do you see as the individual or individuals that will step up and perform well? HARRISON: Our top three players, Mia, Ivana and Petra are a force. Each of them has played at the top spot for our team at some point of their careers. Mirna is at the four spot and is playing the best tennis we have seen her play. She will be a key factor to some close wins. Emerald Lauzon and Sara Tegner will keep get-ting stronger in match play and that will make

our line-up solid from top to bottom.

Q: It seems like the doubles play will be key to the Highlanders winning matches this season. How do you think you stack up with the compe-tition compared to last season?

HARRISON: The first thing we need to do is win the doubles point. That’s the key to win-ning close matches. We have a team of strong singles players who are becoming good doubles players and getting better at doubles with expe-rience. Being young we will have some of our doubles pairings together for two or three years and it will be exciting to watch them progress through the years. We will work on being more aggressive and making more of a presence on the court. That means more movement to the ball and away from the ball. We have to start putting balls away and not just back in play.

Q: How will newcomer Sara Tegner and Tayler Shull help the team this season?

HARRISON: Sara transfered to Radford after having a 24-4 record at Ashland University. She is a proven winner and we are looking for her to add depth to our line-up in singles and doubles.

Tayler is a Radford native and I have seen her play for years. She is truly a natural athlete, playing soccer for Radford as well as tennis this spring. She has helped the team not only as a player but also looks for and does whatever needs to be done to help us win. In many ways she is a role model to the team.

SEASON PREVIEW

112009-10 Women’s Tennis Media Guide

Bruce Harrison is entering his ninth season as the head women’s tennis coach at Radford University.

Harrison has a good group of upperclassmen and young core of new-comers that will help the

Highlanders be competitive in a strong Big South Conference. In 2009, the Highlanders recorded a 12-10 overall record and 2-5 in

the Big South. They had a stretch in the month of March where they won seven straight matches. They defeated in-state foe George Mason and Big East oppents Connecticut and Seton Hall.

Harrison is no stranger to Radford University and its tennis pro-gram, as he is in his second tenure as a head coach at Radford. He was at the helm of the men’s tennis program from 1990-96 before taking the head job at the Virginia Military Institute, where he coached for five years.

His 1991 team finished 18-10 and fifth in the Big South. Just a year later, he was named 1992 Big South Co-Coach of the Year. The 1993 season saw his team post what was the most wins in school history when the Highlanders finished 19-7.

He was also responsible for recruiting Radford’s first nationally ranked Division I tennis player and the No. 1 ranked junior players from Morocco and Bangladesh. In 1995, he was the director of the Big South Tournament.

world ranked players.Harrison graduated from Emory and Henry University in 1985

James Lloyd is in his second year as an assistant coach at Radford. Lloyd’s playing experience against Big South competition will help in the development of the Highlanders’ skills and abilities.

Lloyd flourished in his four years at Radford,

becoming the first Highlander to earn four All-Conference selections. He compiled a 63-31 singles and 59-33 doubles record.

As a senior, he was 11-4 overall with a 4-2 conference record in singles and 8-6 overall with a 5-1 conference record in doubles. He won the White Bracket of the Crimson Tide Invitational and picked up wins at the ITA Mideast Regional Qualifying Tournament.

Lloyd, as a sophomore, was ranked 24th in the preseason by the Intercol-legiate Tennis Association. He had an overall record of 26-8 at No. 2 singles and 24-6 at No. 2 doubles.
