2009 SEASON PREVIEW

The Eagles became the third team in A-Sun history to win a regular-season championship in their first year in the league and the first to win the title in the one-division alignment. At 25-8, the Eagles established the record for the most conference wins by a program in their first year in the A-Sun, breaking the record set in 1999 when Jacksonville finished its first year at 22-8. Even without A-Sun Pitcher of the Year Richard Bleier and A-Sun Player of the Year Jason Peacock, the Eagles return four players who earned A-Sun honors, Pete Woodworth Second Team All-Atlantic Sun, and three Atlantic Sun All-Freshman nominees Mikel alvarez, Richie erath and Chris Sale. The 2009 Eagle baseball team will have a different look after losing eight seniors and two junior arms to the draft. Don’t let those numbers fool you. The Eagles are young but very talented.“We will be a young, but talented team in 2009,” said Florida Gulf Coast

head coach Dave Tollett. “We will be able to pitch and that will be our strength in the upcoming year. We lost some power but will make it up in speed. This is easily the most challenging schedule that we have ever faced. Wichita State, Florida, Florida State and Miami are all great programs that have a chance to make it to Omaha every year. We are trying to bring high quality baseball programs to Southwest Florida and this schedule has done that.”

“Our rotation will be strong, and we have great depth on the mound this season. If we stay healthy, I believe we will be in the running for another A-Sun regular season title.”

The big question in 2009 will be the Eagles offense. The Eagles lost 37 out of a total 43 homeruns from last year’s squad, and two of their top hitters in Jason Peacock (.434/9/53) and Ozzie Borrell (.353/7/54). The Eagles returned four your starter and leadoff hitter Josh Upchurch (.325/2/23) for his senior year. Upchurch, the Eagles career leader in steals will be the catalyst for this year’s team. He will receive help from Mikel alvarez (.346/2/35). Alvarez is coming off one of the best years in school history as a freshman. Alvarez is listed on Wallace watch list. At shortstop, Stephen Wickens (.251/1/22) will be the guy. Wickens and Alvarez were an unbelievable middle combination for the Eagles in 2008. They give the Eagles a solid, combination and throw in Upchurch in the middle and the Eagles are very sound. Tim roberson will be over at third; Roberson had an impressive summer in the Northwoods League. Junior college transfer Josh Chester will add an offensive spark to the 2009 Eagles. Other new birds that look to make an impact for the Eagles are Zach maxfield,

first base, Brad roberts infielder, and Bobby Greene at catcher.

After losing two juniors to the draft, Richard Bleier in the sixth round and Casey Coleman in the 15th round, the Eagles strength is still on the Hill. The Eagles will

have a good weekend rotation with Pete Woodworth,

Chris Sale and Richie erath. Their bullpen will be as strong or better than last years team. Second Team All-Atlantic Sun pitcher Pete Woodworth (7-3/4.27) moves into the ace role. Richie Erath (2-1/3.62) who was hurt for most of 2008 re-enters into a starting role; Erath was the third starter last year as a freshman in theEagles rotation. Chris Sale (2-0/3.47) will move into the starting rotation after only starting in one game last season, along with Patrick Nathanson (0-3/5.91) who started a combined nine games last season.

The bullpen will lean on freshman Jacob Barnes, and seniors Derek Shaw (1-1/1.46) and Nick Ursitti (2-0/2.89). In the closing role this year will be Stephen Wickens.

The schedule features 31 home games and 13 games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

The Eagles open the season with a 15-game home stand beginning on February 20th against Central Michigan in the FGCU Invitational. The field for the tournament includes super regional participant Wichita State. The Shockers are a fixture in postseason baseball under legendary coach Gene Stephenson. The field also includes Temple.

The following weekend, the Eagles host the FGCU Baseball Classic which includes Samford, Towson, South Florida and Bethune-Cookman. After the Classic, the Eagles host Boston College for two games and begin A-Sun play with Campbell. The final two games of the 15-game home stand see the Eagles host Big 10 foe Penn State for two games.

The Eagles then get into the bulk of conference play with series at UNF and home against Jacksonville. Following the Jacksonville series, the Eagles begin an 11-game road trip with College World Series participant Florida State and road trips to A-Sun foes Belmont and Mercer. One of the highlights of the season is a visit from Florida on Tuesday April 21. The Eagles and Gators will face off in Hammond Stadium and then travel to Miami on the 22nd of April for the first of two meetings against the Hurricanes. Last season, the Eagles dropped a 4-2 heartbreaker in extra innings to the #1 ranked team in the county. The Eagles finish the season with three games at home against Atlantic Sun rival Stetson.

Last season the Eagles pitching staff led the A-Sun with a 3.19 ERA, while the offense finished tied in second with a .312 average over 53 games. The Eagles outscored their opponents 372-109 and while the pitching staff held their opponents to a .256 batting average.

ATLANTIC SUN CONFERENCE

MeMBeRSHIP The A-Sun is a blend of the southeast’s finest private and most dynamic state schools.

Belmont Bruins - Nashville, Tenn.Campbell Camels - Buies Creek, N.C.East Tennessee State Bucs - Johnson City, Tenn.Florida Gulf Coast Eagles - Fort Myers, Fla.Jacksonville Dolphins - Jacksonville, Fla.Kennesaw State Owls - Kennsaw, Ga.Lipscomb Bisons - Nashville, Tenn.Mercer Bears - Macon, Ga.North Florida Ospreys - Jacksonville, Fla.USC Upstate Spartans - Spartanburg, S.C.Stetson Hatters - DeLand, Fla.

THIS IS THe aTLaNTIC SUN CoNFeReNCe For 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for its student-athletes. The A-Sun consists of a blend of the Southeast’s most dynamic and prestigious private universities and public institutions in the region; the conference commits itself to Building Winners for Life.

The experience for a student-athlete in the A-Sun is supported by the entire university community, from coaches to faculty, and from the CEOs to the athletic and academic support staff. With All-America selections, National All-Academic honorees, teams and individuals qualifying for and advancing in NCAA Championship play, Atlantic Sun student-athletes achieve at the highest levels of collegiate athletics.

aCaDeMIC eXCeLLeNCe For the second straight year, all 11 institutions placed at least 50 percent of its student-athletes on the All-Academic Team. The membership also established a new overall record of 59 percent of all student-athletes earning All-Academic status during the 2007-08 academic year.

Belmont proved to be the class of the conference in capturing the All-Academic Trophy for the sixth time in seven years with 70.3% of the student-athletes earning All-Academic status. Justin Hare, one of the most celebrated Bruin student-athletes, earned the conference’s male Scholar Athlete of the Year for the second straight year, in addition to multiple national scholar honors.

Hare was far from alone when it came to national honors, as Jacksonville’s Anton Axelsson, the conference Player of the Year in men’s soccer earned CoSIDA’s Academic All-America of the Year. Overall, 25 student-athletes earned places on the 2007-08 CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Teams.

aTHLeTIC eXCeLLeNCe Men’s basketball garnered unprecedented attention with upsets of nationally-ranked Kentucky and Southern Cal, plus a win at Cincinnati in a four-day span. The feats earned a full-page feature from USA Today, as well as notoriety from ESPN.com, The Sporting News and Rivals.com. The league added wins against SEC foes Georgia and Alabama during the course of the year. Belmont captured the A-Sun Tournament title for the third straight season, becoming the first A-Sun school to ever do so and enters 2008-09 as one of just six schools in the country to have won its league’s championship in each of the previous three seasons. Among the company Belmont keeps in this achievement are the two finalists from the NCAA Tournament, Kansas and Memphis.

Lipscomb, Belmont’s Nashville rival, provided a pair of memorable moments on the baseball diamond. The Bisons secured their first NCAA Tournament appearance by defeating Gardner-Webb in the A-Sun Championship game 9-8 in a 15-inning marathon, the longest conference title game in Division I history. Then, they drew Georgia for their opening NCAA Championship game, and despite allowing four runs in the first inning, came back to stun the eventual national runner-up Bulldogs 10-7.

The league’s four newest members, Kennesaw State, North Florida, Florida Gulf Coast and South Carolina Upstate all enjoyed successes in 2007-08. Kennesaw State captured its first women’s soccer tournament championship and advanced to the

NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The Owls also added titles in men’s indoor and outdoor track and field. North Florida won its first A-Sun title of any kind, erasing a nine-stroke deficit in the final two days to dethrone East Tennessee State in men’s golf.

Florida Gulf Coast and South Carolina Upstate each made its first year in the conference memorable, combining to win

three outright regular-season titles and sharing in two others. The Eagles finished atop the standings in volleyball, baseball and tied for

the softball title. The women’s hoops team, one year removed from the Division II national title game, won 22 games including an opening round

game in the WNIT, the first postseason win for an A-Sun school in ten years. The Spartans turned in an unblemished women’s tennis campaign for their first-ever A-Sun title in any sport.

East Tennessee State featured two top individual efforts as golfer Gareth Shaw made the cut at the NCAA Championship and helped Europe win the Palmer Cup, a Ryder Cup-style event featuring the top collegiate golfers. He garnered All-America status for both his play and his academic achievement.

YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORD AT SWANSON STDIUM Located adjacent to FGCU’s main arena, Swanson Stadium is fully enclosed and features one of the best playing surfaces in the country surrounded by spacious dugouts and a press box directly behind home plate at field level. A large electronic scoreboard is in left-center field with bullpens next to each dugout, batting cages down the right field line and permanent seating for 1,500 spectators. The stadium is known for the beautiful palm trees that line the main entrance to the facility, as well as surround the outfield fence.

Swanson Stadium has served as the home of the FGCU baseball program since its grand opening on February 1, 2004, a 20-2 win over Ed Waters College before a capacity crowd. In April 2005, the complex was renamed Swanson Stadium in recognition of two strong supporters of Florida Gulf Coast University and civic leaders - Duane and Cookie Swanson.

SWANSON STADIUM

The longtime residents of Ft. Myers are the owners of Raymond Building Supply and have supported a range of worthy

causes throughout South¬west Florida for many years. Mr. Swanson is a founding board member of the Hillmyer-Tremont Student Athlete Foundation, which helps FGCU attract and assist deserving FGCU student athletes through scholarship support.

Off the field of play, providing scholarship support for student-athletes is extremely important to the Swanson’s. Duane and Cookie have established the Swanson Fam¬ily Scholarship Fund. The new scholarship funding doubled the amount that was previously available for baseball scholarships.

Duane Swanson Sr. and his wife, Cookie, have donated generously for baseball scholarships and the construction of a baseball field. Recently Mr.Swanson’s company, Raymond Building Supply, also gave a generous donation for The Outdoor Sports Complex. The roughly 20,000-square-foot building features offices and operations for soccer, baseball, softball, umpires and concessions. “Duane and Cookie have played a critical role in the development of Athletics at FGCU and continue to play a vital role in our move to Division I,” said FGCU Interim Athletics Director Jo-Ann Nester “We would not be able to grow at the pace we have without supporters like the Swanson’s.” “We wouldn’t be here without him,” said head baseball coach Dave Tollett said. “When you have a place like this, as nice as this, it certainly helps in recruiting.”

The couple is happy to support FGCU’s Athletics program. “The Southwest Florida community has been a great place for me, both personally and professionally,” said Mr. Swanson Sr. “Cookie and I believe strongly in giving back to this community. We both enjoy our relationship with the FGCU Athletics Department, the coaches and student-athletes, and we saw the need to help the program as it was beginning.”The Swanson’s believe sports benefit students on and off the field. “We believe in the role that athletics can play in both helping a young person grow and in shaping the character of a young person,” said Mr. Swanson.

FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY BASEBALLCity of

Incorporated in 1886, Fort Myers is the center of a popular tourist area in Southwest Florida and the seat of Lee County. It is located about 120 miles south of Tampa at the meeting point of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caloosahatchee River. Fort Myers was the frequent winter home of Thomas Edison and is the current home of the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins spring training camps.

The first known resident of what is now Fort Myers was Manuel Gonzalez, a Spaniard from the province of Asturias, who came via Cuba in the 19th century. Fort Myers, built in 1850 as a military fort to fend off Seminole Indians that were massacring the area's few settlers, was named after Col. Abraham C. Myers, who was stationed in Florida for seven years and was the son-in-law of the fort's establisher and commander. In 1858, after years of elusive battle, Chief Billy Bowlegs and his warriors were persuaded to surrender and move west, and the fort was abandoned. Billy's Creek, which flows into the Caloosahatchee River and runs between The Beau Rivage Condominiums and Alta Mar, was named after a temporary camp where Billy Bowlegs and his men awaited ships to take them west.

The fort was abandoned until 1863 when a small number of Federal troops re-occupied the fort during the Civil War. In 1865 the fort was attacked unsuccessfully by a very small group of Confederates. After the war, the fort was again deserted.

The first settlers arrived in 1866, but it wasn't until 1882 when the city experienced a significant influx of settlers. By 1885, when Fort Myers was incorporated, it was the second largest city only to Tampa on Florida's west coast south of Cedar Key - even larger than Clearwater and Sarasota, also growing cities at the time.

Fort Myers first became a nationally known winter resort with the building of The Royal Palm Hotel in 1898. The real spark of the city's growth was the construction of the Tamiami Trail Bridge built across the Caloosahatchee River in 1924. After the bridge's construction, the city experienced its first real estate boom and many subdivisions sprouted around the city. Famous People that have called the

in the late 1800s, Tootie mcGregor and Thomas & mina Edison began the beautification of Fort myers. imported royal Palms were planted along Riverside Drive, later renamed mcGregor Boulevard.

These magnificent royal Palms, some towering at 75 feet, give the City of Palms its nickname.

FORT MYERS IS.....• The home of the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates • The home of the Fort Myers Miracle baseball club of the Florida State League, and is the spring training locale for the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox.

• The home of three minor league sports teams. The Florida Everblades (ECHL hockey team), Florida Firecats (Arena Football League 2 team) and Florida Stingrays (AIFA indoor football team).

fort MyersThe Florida of days long past, with unspoiled white sand beaches, exotic wildlife and lush subtropical foliage, still can be found on The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel in southwest Florida.

Known as Florida’s tropical island getaway, this paradise is a favorite vacation spot because of its feel of old Florida that no longer exists in many areas. In addition to the beautiful natural environment, active travelers are pleased to find an abundance of golf, tennis and watersports, as well as some unusual attractions.

Lee County embraces nine distinct areas, each with its own unique character. Best known are Sanibel and Captiva islands, connected to the mainland by an alluring three-mile-long causeway and, to each other, by a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it bridge at Blind Pass.

Sanibel is known worldwide for its shelling. More than 400 varieties of shells litter the beaches, and particularly can be found after an especially high or low tide. For most visitors, however, shelling is merely a delightful excuse to enjoy hours of sun worshipping along some of the finest shoreline in North America. Interesting shops, restaurants, and art galleries dot the road from the Sanibel Lighthouse to Tarpon Bay Road.

On the way to Captiva Island, located toward Sanibel’s northern tip, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is home to many exotic species of birds and plants. A four-mile drive with access to walking and canoe/kayak

trails offers outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities. The refuge occupies more than half the island.

The main attraction on Captiva is that there are none. Many people wile away the hours in one outdoor endeavor or another. It was here that Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of the famous aviator, wrote her best-selling book, “A Gift from the Sea.”

Further south, Estero Island, home of Fort Myers Beach, long has been recognized as one of the “world’s safest beaches” because of its gently sloping shoreline. The sand is particularly soft and white, akin to powdered sugar. Especially suited for family vacations, Estero offers every imaginable water toy, from windsurfer to catamaran and parasailing. Numerous marinas operate boating and fishing charters. Local restaurants benefit from the catch, which generally includes red snapper and grouper.

Anyone suffering from island fever can find instant relief by paying a call to the “City of Palms,” in Fort Myers, with its charming downtown historic district and expanding hub of urban activity that extends to shopping malls, restaurants, and nightclubs.

Inventor Thomas Edison and his friend, automobile manufacturer Henry Ford, decided early on to make their winter homes in Fort Myers. Today visitors tour their neighboring estates with Edison’s botanical gardens, laboratory and museum.

During Edison’s 46 winters in Fort Myers, he and his wife Mina hosted well-known house guests like industrialist Harvey Firestone, President Herbert Hoover and cereal king John Harvey Kellogg.

Henry Ford purchased his quaint home, “Mangoes,” in 1916 to spend the winter months visiting Edison. The two properties were separated by a fence the two families named “The Friendship Gate.”

Other in-town attractions include the Southwest Florida Historical Museum, downtown river cruises, and the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium. Shell Factory in North Fort Myers and Eden Vineyards, the country’s southernmost bonded winery, to the east are also popular stops. For the sports minded, public golf courses and tennis courts make southwest Florida some of the best playing turf in the state.

Florida Gulf Coast University, with its innovative programs, technology friendly campus, and outstanding faculty, is one of the most exciting educational environments in America.

FGCU, a member of the State University System of Florida, is a comprehensive university created to address the educational needs of the rapidly growing Southwest Florida population. Classrooms showcase state-of-the-art multimedia instructional systems that feature Internet access, document cameras, and audio and video presentations.

Florida Gulf Coast University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degrees. FGCU received initial accreditation by SACS in 1999.

The history of Florida Gulf Coast University is a visionary one built on support for providing higher education opportunities in Southwest Florida. Area citizens began the initiative to bring a state university to this part of Florida, and their early requests were quickly supported by elected officials at the local and state levels. With support from the Florida Board of Regents and the full Florida Legislature, a new university was born.

The Board of Regents formally recommended in January 1991 the development of Florida’s tenth state university to be located in Southwest Florida; and, in May 1991, then Governor Lawton Chiles signed the legislation authorizing the new university. Southwest Florida’s support for a university was never more evident than during the next year, when private landowners offered more than 20 gift sites for the university campus. In early 1992, the Board of Regents selected the site offered by Ben Hill Griffin III and Alico, Inc. of 760 acres of land located just east of Interstate 75 between Alico and Corkscrew Roads.

Roy McTarnaghan was named founding university president in April 1993. Initial staff were hired that summer, and the university’s academic and campus planning began in earnest. Plans for the first phase of campus construction were unveiled in February 1994; and shortly thereafter, the Florida Legislature named the institution as Florida Gulf Coast University. The vision for the university was one which would address emerging higher education needs for the 21st century, including the use of technology in the learning/teaching process and multi-year contracts as an alternative to faculty tenure. The Board of Regents approved an agreement in May 1995 with the United Faculty of Florida allowing FGCU to offer a contract system for faculty.

Campus groundbreaking was held on November 28, 1995, with more than 600 people participating in the celebratory event for Southwest Florida. With aggressive academic program and campus development schedules slated to culminate in an opening day of August 25, 1997, the early staff and faculty were busy meeting deadlines every month. Inaugural degree programs were approved by the Board of Regents in March 1996. The FGCU Foundation, a private fundraising arm of the university, gained extraordinary financial support for an institution which at the time could only be seen on a drawing board. Faculty throughoutthe country were attracted to FGCU for the opportunity to offer higher education in new and innovative ways.

The first FGCU student, Mariana Coto, was admitted in January 1997; and she participated in the historic ribbon cutting on the university’s August 25, 1997 opening day. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools awarded FGCU accreditation candidacy later that year, and a comprehensive self-study was launched. The first commencement was held in May 1998, with 81 FGCU graduates. In August 1998, the first phase of student housing opened. In September, Founding President McTarnaghan announced his intention to step

down on May 1, 1999.

FGCU’s second commencement ceremonies, held May 1999, marked the last official act of the founding president, as well as the graduation of 417 students. The Board of Regents launched a national search held during the spring and summer for FGCU’s second president; and the university received official notification in June 1999 that it had achieved, in record time, accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In July 1999, the Board of Regents named William C. Merwin as FGCU’s second president. President Merwin arrived on campus for his first day on September 16, 1999. He immediately initiated a highly participatory strategic planning process for students, faculty, and staff to carry the young institution to its next stage of development.

As FGCU moves forward, student applications and admissions are dramatically increasing; campus construction of academic and support buildings remains aggressive; an athletics program and other new initiatives are being launched; new degree programs are being added; the Foundation’s private fundraising continues to be successful; and the excitement level for FGCU’s future is high.

Why eagles The Eagle was adopted as the official symbol to reflect FGCU’s mission and purpose. The eagle serves to identify not only the physical environment of Southwest Florida but also the University’s relationship with it. The eagle embodies the characteristics of freedom, strength, spirit, intelligence, grace and the pursuit of excellence. It is master of its environment but also an integral part of it. It survives and prospers only in balance with the environment.

School Colors FGCU’s Founding President Roy McTarnaghan selected emerald green and cobalt blue as symbols of the earth and water, in keeping with FGCU’s environmental mission.

2008 SEASON IN REVIEW

The 2008 season for the FGCU Eagles set a standard of excellence that all of Dave Tollett’s team strive to achieve. The Eagles finished the year with a 38-15 record, third most for any season in the short 7 year history of the program. The Eagles, who were slated to finish eleventh out of twelve teams in the Atlantic Sun Conference, finish their 2008 campaign with a regular season championship.

After shattering records for a team in its first year in the Atlantic Sun, Florida Gulf Coast racked up the hardware with Jason Peacock (Player of the Year), Richard Bleier (Pitcher of the Year) and head coach Dave Tollett (Coach of the Year) winning the league’s top three individual awards.

The Eagles became the third team in A-Sun history to win a regular-season championship in their first year in the league and the first to win the title in the one-division alignment. At 25-8, the Eagles established the record for the most conference wins by a program in their first year in the A-Sun, breaking the record set in 1999 when Jacksonville finished its first year at 22-8.

Bleier, a junior from Davie, Fla., was a unanimous selection as the Pitcher of the Year and also earned a spot on First Team with a unanimous vote. He led the A-Sun in ERA (2.19), innings pitched (90.1) and complete games (four). He shared the top spot in wins with seven and ranked fourth in strikeouts with 76.

Peacock, a senior from Bartow, Fla., finished with the sixth-highest batting average in A-Sun history, producing a .434 mark while reaching base at a .525 clip. He increased his production during conference play, hitting .466 with a .566 on-base percentage. All told, FGCU saw eight of its players earn some level of recognition.

In addition to Bleier and Peacock, reliever J.J. Crumbley and outfielder Ozzie Borrell made the First Team. Pete Woodworth, who tied Bleier atop the A-Sun with seven wins and freshman second baseman Mikel Alvarez landed on the Second Team. Alvarez, right-hander Richie Erath and left-hander Chris Sale all earned spots on the All-Freshman team.

Crumbley was 6-2 with five saves on the year and had a 1.50 ERA in 24 appearances. Crumbley was selected as the only relief pitcher on the team. Borrell finished second in the league in doubles and led FGCU with 54 RBI. He was one of two players to start all 53 games for FGCU this season. Head Coach Dave Tollett was named Atlantic Sun Coach of the year after guiding the Eagles to one of the most successful seasons in A-Sun history.

The Eagles 25 wins are tied for the third most wins in conference history. Tollett was named Coach of the Year after leading the first year program to an outright championship while setting numerous league records on the way.

Pete Woodworth and Mikel Alvarez were each second team selections. Woodworth, a sophomore, was twice selected as Atlantic Sun pitcher of the week and finished tied for second in the league with 78 strikeouts. Alvarez, who was also selected to the All-Freshman team, recorded a school-record 22 game hitting streak and finished with a .345 batting average. He was one of three A-Sun freshmen to receive 2nd team All-Conference honors.

Sale posted a 3.47 ERA in 21 appearances and fanned 43 batters in 36.1 innings. He recorded an amazing 6-1 strikeout to walk ratio in conference play. Erath became the first Eagle to receive the A-Sun pitcher of the week award after leading FGCU to an 8-0 win over UNF in the first conference series of the year. He limited the Ospreys to just two hits in 8.0 innings. He finished the year with a 2-1 record and 3.62 ERA in 27.1 innings.
