Experience and Youth: The Recipe for Success
SC State 2008 Women’s Volleyball Outlook
The 2007 season did not end up as South Carolina State head coach
Millicent Sylvan envisioned, so she revamped her team with hopes of
getting better results. The 2008 team returns just three letterwinners from
last. Seniors Laura Waters-Brown, juniors Linnie Garrett and sophomore
Jarne Gleaton are the only veterans that will be surrounding eight freshmen
for the Lady Bulldogs this season. The Lady Bulldogs did get a bonus with
the return of graduate Kisela Glöss who sat out the 2007 season due to
injury.
Despite their inexperience, the newcomers are a talented group.
Four of the freshmen joining the Lady Bulldogs this season come from the
same high school and club team, which should translate into positive
results. Combined with Gleaton, who was second on the team in hitting as
a freshman, Garrett and Waters-Brown who were third in hitting and second
in digs, respectively, and junior college transfer Shauntanell Pratt, this
year’s team is definitely equipped to be more competitive than last year’s.
“I am looking forward to working with the new, talented young
players,” said Sylvan, who is beginning her second season. “They will be
a huge complement to the returning players.
“All of our newcomers are athletic and have a lot of year-round
playing experience,” added Sylvan. “The setters that we have coming in
can run a diversified offense due to their speed and ability to read the
court.”
Of the returning players, Sylvan will look to Gleaton to lead the
team. The West Columbia, South Carolina native recorded 267 kills
(2.50) and 48 service aces, both second on the team, for SC State in
2007. Gleaton also recorded 46 total blocks and 147 digs for her squad.
Garrett is also expected to provide veteran leadership. A middle-blocker, she was third on the team in both kills, 221 (2.07 per game), and
service aces, 40.
The Lady Bulldogs have a very competitive non-conference schedule which should prepare the team for conference play;
however, the returnees and newcomers will have to mesh quickly, as this year’s team will open the 2008 campaign August 29, at the twoday Tiny Laster Memorial Volleyball Tournament. The tournament, named in memory of Hampton University’s long-time head coach
Tiny Laster, will be one of five that SC State will play in during the season. This is a good opening tournament for the Lady Bulldogs as it
puts them against host Hampton, Providence, Canisius and fellow MEAC foe Delaware State.
Other tournaments the Lady Bulldogs will participate in include the High Point Radisson Invite (Sept 5-6), UT-Arlington Holiday
Inn Invitational (Sept. 12-13), the SCSU Invitational (formerly SCSU Spikefest), hosted by SC State (Sept. 19-20) and the North Carolina
Central Tournament (Sept. 26-27).
The non-conference season will undoubtedly be another competitive one for SC State. In addition to Providence and Canisius, the
Lady Bulldogs will face East Carolina, Marist, UNC-Greensboro, and High Point in the High Point Tournament; University of TexasArlington, Duke, and Middle Tennessee in the University of Texas-Arlington Tournament; Coastal Carolina, The Citadel and Charleston
Southern in the SCSU Invitational; and Alabama State, North Carolina Central and Kent State in the North Carolina Central Tournament.
Individual non-conference opponents include Southern University in Baton Rouge, as well as intra-state rivals Coastal Carolina in Myrtle
Beach, Francis Marion in Florence and the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
SC State will open its Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) divisional play on October 3, when it travels to Tallahassee,
Florida to face seven-time defending champion Florida A&M University. The Lady Bulldogs will open their MEAC home season against
those same Lady Rattlers on October 17.
Overall, Sylvan’s 2008 Lady Bulldog team hopes that the combination of experienced returnees and the addition of talented
youth will provide the tools that will lead to a more successful campaign. Last year’s team finished 8-23 overall and 1-7 in the MEAC.
Sophomore Outside Hitter Jarne Gleaton
finished the 2007 season with 267 kills.

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), a NCAA
Division I Conference, is in its 38th year of operation heading
into the 2008-2009 academic school year. Housed in the Armada
Hoffler Tower at Town Center of Virginia Beach, Virginia, the
MEAC is made up of 12 outstanding, historically black institutions
across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin
State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M
University, Hampton University, Howard University, University
of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk
State University, North Carolina A&T State University, South Carolina State University and Winston-Salem State University.
HISTORY
In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of
organizing a new conference. Dissected from these discussions, a steering and planning committee was formed to fully investigate the idea,
present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals.
After adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State
College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore,

The institution has home to generations of scholars
and leaders in business, military service,
government, athletics, education, medicine,
science, engineering technology and more.
Located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, South
Carolina State University was founded as a land
grant college with a mission of providing education
and service to the citizens of the state. In its first
century, South Carolina State was a leader in
education and continues to lead the way into the
next century.
South Carolina State University is
consistently among the national leaders in
producing African-American students with

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1896 as the state’s sole public college for black youth, South Carolina State University has played a key role in the education
of African-Americans in the state and nation. As a land-grant institution, it struggled to provide agricultural and mechanical training to
generations of black youngsters. Through its extension program, it sent farm and home demonstration agents into rural counties to provide
knowledge and information to impoverished black farm families.
The University has educated scores of teachers for the public schools. It provided education in sciences, literature, and history.
The support of the Rosenwald Fund and the General Education Board helped the institution survive the Depression. After World War II, the
state legislature created a graduate program and a law school at South Carolina State University to prevent black students from enrolling
in the University of South Carolina’s graduate and legal education programs. The legislature also dramatically increased funding at the
college in an effort to make “separate but equal” a reality in higher education in South Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s hundreds of
South Carolina State students participated in local civil rights demonstrations and were arrested. In 1968 three young men were slain and
27 wounded on the campus by state highway patrolmen in the Orangeburg Massacre.
Since 1966, South Carolina State University has been open to white students and faculty, but it has largely retained its mission
and character as an historically black institution. In 1971, the agricultural program was terminated and the college farm was transformed into
a community recreation center consisting of a golf course as well as soccer and baseball fields. Today there are nearly 5000 students
majoring in a wide range of programs that include agribusiness, accounting, art, English, and drama as well as fashion merchandising,
physics, psychology, and political science.

their first MEAC title since the early eighties in 2005
and titles and trips to the NCAA tournament in 2006,
2007 and 2008. The 2004 season also saw the SCSU

coordinating of all areas of the department of athletics.
Her efforts in athletics have extended beyond
South Carolina State as she has served on several
NCAA committees.

at South Carolina State University in 1983 when she
became the first woman to be appointed to a fulltime
coaching position, serving as an assistant on the Lady
