2009 SEASON OUTLOOK
Posting its third-consecutive 13 win season, having four returning starters and making its first trip to the Southern Conference semi-finals in three years, Appalachian State University
men’s tennis heads into the 2009 campaign, with high expectations of having yet another successful season.
Perhaps Appalachian’s biggest home
contest of the 2009
season will be on
March 18, when the
Apps host defending SoCon regular
season and tournament champion
Furman. ASU played
the Paladins tough
last season, but were
ousted by FU in the
SoCon Tournament
semi-finals.
Depth will be one of Appalachian’s biggest strengths in 2009,
as the Mountaineers return four veterans and welcome two
newcomers that are expected to contribute right away to the
squad.
Head Coach Bob Lake believes that senior leadership will also
help ASU throughout the course of the season.
“Bobby Lake and Lee Floyd, both team captains will both
provide strong leadership for us this season,” Coach Lake said.
“ Lake has experience at the number one singles spot, which is
a definite plus and both have the leadership and talent to help
carry this team.”
Peter Jacobs
The 2009 regular season caps off with a road trip to Davidson,
as the Mountaineers will square off against a very solid Wildcat
team. The Wildcats might be looking for revenge, as Appalachian was victorious over DC twice last season, beating them
once in the regular season 4-3 and then again in the SoCon
Quarterfinals by the same score.
Floyd finished the 2008 season tied for a team high in wins,
compiling 14, while Lake held down the No. 1 singles spot for
much of the season.
ASU has set high standards for the upcoming campaign, as the
team hopes to crack into the top-three in the SoCon standings
and contend for a conference title.
Juniors Trent Constance and Peter Jacobs are expected to be
major contributors for ASU as well, as the duo combined for 26
wins last season. Jacobs tied Floyd with 14 wins and Constance
closed out the 2008 season with 12.
“We are really excited about this season, “ Lake said. “We have
a solid group of ten guys who are all battling for the top six
spots. If we play like a team and up to our potential we definitely have a chance to make a run at SoCon title.”
Appalachian’s newcomers will help to round out a talented
Black and Gold squad, as Canada native Alain Humblet and
Australia native Phillip Kloc are expected to make an immediate impact.
Coach Lake will depend on the talent and strength of his team,
as the Apps face yet another challenging set of matches for
the upcoming season,
playing three teams
Bobby Lake
ranked in the top 75
in the nation, in South
Carolina (51), Radford
(67) and Furman (69).

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK
Appalachian State University women’s tennis looks to continue
its solid play from the 2008 campaign and become a force in
the Southern Conference during 2009. The Apps went 8-13 in
2008 and have high expecations of posting a strong upcoming
campaign.
The Black and Gold will rely on a mix of veteran leadership and
youthful talent, as the Apps return five starters and add three
highly talented freshman to the line up.
Head Coach Colin Crothers believes that the mix of talent will
help the Mountaineers improve throughout the course of the
season.
“With the new girls added to the team, and the veteran experience it should make for a great season,” Crothers said. “We have
a lot of fresh talent along with seasoned veterans which should
help us achieve our goals for 2009.”
Seniors Monica Tomas and Lindsay King will be looked upon to
lead the Black and Gold.
Tomas played at the number one singles spot for much of
the 2008 season, posting a 7-14 record, while King, who was
a necomer to the squad in 2008, finished with a team-best
record of 10-9 record at the number five and six positions.
on top-tier league foe
the College of Charleston, March 13.
One of the Mountaineers biggests tests of
the season will come
on April 1, taking on
defending SoCon
regular season and
tournament champion
Furman. Appalachian
played the Paladins in
the quarterfinals of the
SoCon Tournament,
falling 4-0 to the eventual champions.

Lindsay King
with a four match
homestand for the
Mountaineers, playing

days, including three against Southern Conference foes, UNC

role in the Apps success, Cash played mostly at the number
two and three spots in singles action, while Mauch recorded an
impressive 7-5 record at

Colin Crothers is in his 11th year
as head women’s tennis coach at
Appalachian State University. He
has helped the program to increasingly improve throughout the
course of his tenure as head coach.
In 2007, the team posted a 10-15
record and defeated such SoCon
rivals as Western Carolina and Chattanooga.
During the 2006 campaign, the Mountaineers earned an overall record of
13-8 and went 5-4 in SoCon play.
Crothers has helped turn the program around. In 1999, during his first season
at helm, Appalachian tallied a 3-15
record, but in 2000 the team bounced
back, posting an impressive record
of 12-7, including a 6-3 mark in the
SoCon.
Prior to coming to ASU, Crothers was
a teaching professional. He served
stints at top facilities in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
Atlanta, Ga., and at Boone’s Yonahlossee Resort.
Crothers also partakes in North
Carolina state tournaments, and was ranked as high as No. 7 in the state’s 35 and over
division in 1999.
A four-year letter winner at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fla., Crothers graduated
with a degree in business administration. While playing for the Saints, he was tabbed
a three-time NAIA tennis all-American. He was also awarded Academic All-America
plaudits in 1983. Crothers earned his Master’s degree in mathematics from Appalachian
in 1996.

the southern conference
The Southern Conference, which enters its 88th season of intercollegiate competition in 2008, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders
in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining 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 classification in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five 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 fifth-oldest NCAA Division I
collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley
(1907), the Pacific 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 first “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 office is located in the Beaumont Mill in
Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999,
the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first
class meeting area as well as a spacious
library for storage of the conference’s
historical documents.
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, Samford,
Western Carolina and Wofford. The most
recent addition, Samford University,
joined the Southern Conference on July
Commissioner
1, 2008. The Bulldogs’ addition was anJohn
Iamarino
nounced in March 2007. East Tennessee
State, which joined the SoCon in 1978,
left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year.
The SoCon also sponsors two all-sports awards, the Commissioner’s
Cup for men’s programs and the Germann Cup for women’s teams. In all,
Appalachian has claimed 28 of the last 31 Commissioner’s Cups along
with each of the first six Germann Cups. In both 2005-06 and 2006-07,
the Mountaineers swept the awards, winning both.
John Iamarino became the comissioner of the Southern Conference
on January 30, 2006. Iamarino came to the SoCon after nine years as
commissioner of the Northeastern Conference. He replaced Dr. Danny
Morrison, who left his post at the SoCon after four years to become the
director of athletics at Texas Christian University.

Sr. Assoc. AD, Athletic Develop.
While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many
successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics
on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 40-year-old Cobb that has
steered the Mountaineers to new heights.
Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North
Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State
from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external
operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s
marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations,
as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity
and facilities committees.
During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent
and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues
accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more
than $6 million for the department.
In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer,
tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the
RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee.

Associate AD, Public Affairs
Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held
positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome.
As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he
helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled
all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome
from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football
championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA
men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs,
major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events.
Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in
1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC
selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football
senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to
the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship.
After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb
earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992.
Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
A member of the Appalachian State University community the past 24
years, Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock begins his fifth year as ASU’s sixth Chancellor in
2008-09.
Dr. Peacock, who served as the University’s Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
during the 2003-04 academic year and was the Dean of Appalachian’s Walker College of Business from
1992-2003, assumed the office of Chancellor on July 1, 2004.
During his 11-year tenure as Dean, Dr. Peacock introduced numerous initiatives that enhanced the college’s academic and financial stature. Among his many accomplishments as dean were securing a financial
commitment from prominent businesswoman and civic leader Thelma C. Raley to name the building that
currently houses the Walker College of Business and endowing a lecture series in honor of former State
Treasurer Harlan E. Boyles.
Dr. Peacock also developed an international program in partnership with Fudan University in Shanghai,
China, to help students understand the challenges and opportunities of doing business in Asia. As the
Walker College of Business Dean, he also established the Dean’s Council of Student Advisors and a Business
Advisory Council, composed of 25 business leaders who meet once a semester to review programs and to
anticipate the needs of the College.
He guided the college to reaffirmation of accreditation by the Association to Advance College Schools of
Business (AACSB International) in April, 1998. The AACSB’s Visitation Team awarded ASU’s Walker College of
Business nine commendations of strengths and innovations during the reaffirmation.
Chancellor Peacock arrived at Appalachian in 1983 as a faculty member in the Walker College of Business
and began teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in accounting and taxation. He was promoted to
Assistant Dean in 1987 and Associate Dean in 1989, before assuming the role of Dean in 1992.
Prior to his arrival in Boone, he was a faculty member at the University of Virginia, from 1980-83, where he
taught, primarily, taxation classes and served as faculty advisor for many student organizations. He also coauthored an Instructor’s Manual to accompany West’s Intermediate Accounting textbook and helped create
an Investment and Tax Planning Seminar offered through UVA’s Division of Continuing Education.
Upon receiving a B.S. in accounting from Mars Hill College in 1970, Chancellor Peacock worked for Price
Waterhouse and Company in Winston-Salem and Charlotte, N.C., while teaching taxation classes on a parttime basis at Winston-Salem State University.
In 1975, Dr. Peacock moved to Baton Rouge, La., where he earned Master’s (1977) and PhD. (1979) degrees
in accounting from Louisiana State University. During his time at LSU, he helped develop a pair of training
courses, funded and published by the Louisiana State Board of Regents for Higher Education, and taught
throughout the state.
An active member of the academic and local communities, Chancellor Peacock serves on the Boards
of Directors of the Investment Advisory Committee for AACSB International, the Watauga Medical Center
Foundation, and the Grandfather Home for Children. He is involved in numerous civic programs and activities. In 1995, Governor Jim Hunt appointed Peacock as one of just 25 North Carolinians to participate in the
inaugural Leadership North Carolina program.
Chancellor Peacock is married to the former Rosanne Barkley of Winston-Salem, N.C. They have two sons:
Chris, 31, and Brian, 27.
