Dr. Frank BonnerPresident

Chuck BurchVP for Athletics

Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his eigth year as the president of Gardner-Webb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on April 6, 2006. Bonner is no stranger to Gardner-Webb, having been a part of the University family since 1987. A native of Greenville, S.C., Bonner graduated from Furman University in 1969, has a M.A. degree from the University of Georgia and earned a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a faculty member and Associate Dean at Anderson College in Anderson, S.C., prior to beginning his career in Boiling Springs as Vice President for Academic Affairs. In 1992, Bonner was promoted to provost and senior vice president at Gardner-Webb, a post he held until assuming his current role in 2005. After a comprehensive, national search for the university’s new president, chairman of the presidential search committee and the board of trustees, Frank Beam, said, “We came to the conclusion that we had the most qualified candidate right here at the university.” Bonner succeeded Dr. Frank Campbell, who served Gardner-Webb University as president from October, 2002 until June, 2005. Active in civic life and in the community, Bonner has served on the boards of the United Way, the YMCA, and Communities in Schools, and he serves on the Cleveland County Sports Commission. He is a past chairman of the Cleveland County Chamber, a past president of the Shelby Rotary Club, and a Sunday School teacher and deacon at First Baptist Church in Shelby. Bonner is also a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. During Bonner’s time as provost, Gardner-Webb emerged as a vibrant institution for higher learning, officially moving from college to university in 1993. The institution’s academic reputation has steadily improved during Bonner’s time in Boiling Springs, with a outstanding faculty and consistently evolving curriculum. Bonner is married to the former Florence “Flossie” Black of Chester, S.C., also a graduate of Furman University. They are parents of two adult daughters and have four grandchildren.

Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 16th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 31st year in athletics administration.

The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Runnin’ Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’s addition to the Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001, and GWU’s move to the Big South as a full member – which became official on July 1, 2008.

Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board improvements in facilities and the addition of five new sports since arriving in 1997. A sixth sport, men’s swimming was added in 2007-08. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire department.

GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic performance since Burch’s arrival, and the department has posted a combined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last two academic years.

Gardner-Webb’s final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong academic performances by the Bulldogs’ student-athletes.

GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The Bulldogs also finished third in the men’s and women’s combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy.

Gardner-Webb’s men’s soccer team captured the imagination of faces across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun Championship and the NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2006-2007.

Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and former member of Gardner-Webb’s football team, spent 1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was instrumental in a successful and well-run department in Lynchburg as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics (1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports Information (1982-1984).

After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Science, Burch, 54, earned his master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is a member of the faculty at Gardner-Webb.

The couple has three children, Travis, a recent graduate of Furman University, Danielle, a 2012 graduate of Brevard (N.C.) College, and Amy, a freshman at High Point (N.C.) University.

Kevin Mounce - 16th SeasonH

Since 1999, Gardner-Webb University’s women’s soccer program has been a consistent winner. Throughout their transition from an NCAA Division II program to an NCAA Division I contender, the Runnin’ Bulldogs have won matches at a pace never before seen in Boiling Springs, N.C., putting together winning seasons in six of the last nine years and win-ning at least eight matches in a single-season eight times.

Much of the consistency can be attributed to head coach Kevin Mounce, who enters his 13th season at the helm of the Gardner-Webb program with the highest winning percentage of any women’s soccer coach in school history. Mounce made an immediate impact upon taking over the program in 1999, leading the Runnin’ Bulldogs to their first winning sea-son since 1992, and only their second since the program’s inception in 1990. He proceeded to produce winning seasons in 2000 and 2001, as well, marking the first time in school history that GWU had put together three consecutive winning seasons.

Mounce helped develop Gardner-Webb into a viable NCAA Division I program early in his tenure in Boiling Springs, as his teams posted an 11-9-1 record against Division I opponents during GWU’s two-year provi-sional status. The 2001 season saw the Runnin’ Bulldogs post an overall record of 15-6-1, setting a new school benchmark for wins and taking home the National Christian College Athletic Association Championship in November. Following that tournament, Mounce was named the NCCAA National Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year.

While 2002 was a rare down season for Mounce at 5-12-1, national women’s soccer authority Soccer Buzz ranked Gardner-Webb second in the nation among first-year Division I programs at the conclusion of the season.

Mounce quickly got the Runnin’ Bulldogs back on track in 2003, rebounding with an 8-9-1 record and guiding GWU to its first-ever spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship with a fifth-place finish in the League. For his efforts, Mounce was recognized by his conference-coaching peers as the A-Sun Coach of the Year.

In 2004, Mounce again captained a run for the Runnin’ Bulldogs, leading his squad to a fourth-place finish in conference play and another spot in the Atlantic Sun Championship. This time, however, the Runnin’ Bulldogs didn’t just make the tournament, the squad advanced to the semifinals with a win over Stetson in the opening round. Forward Leeanna Wood-worth led the nation in scoring in 2004, earning A-Sun Player of the Year honors and shattering numerous school records in the process. Liz Kier and Maureen Foley also earned All-Atlantic Sun Conference honors in 2004 as the Runnin’ Bulldogs had the type of season that successful programs are built upon.

The 2005 season featured four all-conference selections and one academic All-American for Mounce. Woodworth made the All-Conference First-Team for the second consecutive season, while Foley earned sec-ond-team accolades for the second straight year. Brittany Woods notched a spot on the second-team after being named to the All-Freshman Team in 2004. Angie Harvey garnered a place on the All-Freshman Team. Woodworth also earned third-team Academic All-America honors, as GWU posted a 5-3-2 record in A-Sun play, finishing third in the conference.

While starting several new faces and dealing with the departure of the school’s all-time leading scorer in Woodworth, Mounce and his staff started out 5-0 on the 2006 season. During the regular season the team, behind strong defensive play, recorded seven shutouts, which at the time, was the second most in a single season in school history. The Runnin’ Bulldogs quali-fied for their fourth consecutive conference tournament behind a 9-7-2 overall mark and a 3-4-2 league record, advancing to the semifinals before falling to No. 2 seed Stetson.

In 2007, Mounce’s team was ready for the challenge of being in the A-Sun for the program’s final year. Despite facing arguably their toughest schedule in GWU’s history and having to deal with a significant number of injuries, the Runnin’ Bulldogs put themselves in position to make a run at the conference tournament by ending the season with a 1-0 victory over Campbell. However, GWU was forced out of the tournament on the final day of the regular season.

The 2008 season saw the Runnin’ Bulldogs make a transition, this time competing in its first year as members of the Big South Conference. With 14 newcomers on the roster, Coach Mounce had his hands full in trying to get the team to come together as one. The young Runnin’ Bulldogs, which played 12 games on the road in 2008, posted a 4-13-2 record overall. Senior Angie Harvey earned First-Team All-Conference honors, while freshman Megan Tremblay was named to the All-Freshmen Team.

In 2009, with the challenge of having a tough schedule and being a young team, with 19 underclassmen on the squad, the Runnin’ Bulldogs went 12-9 overall with a 6-3 Big South record. Junior Sarah Keyser and sophomore Megan Reimer earned First-Team All-Conference honors, making it he seventh consecutive season in which Mounce and GWU have had at least one student-athlete receive postseason recognition.

The 2010 season saw the Runnin’ Bulldogs post nine shutouts, five wins and four draws, as GWU posted a 7-10-5 overall record. GWU posted five wins on the road, as 11 of its 22 matches came away from Greene-Harbison Field in Boiling Springs, N.C. GWU, who finished the conference regular season with a 3-4-2 record, made a run in the Big South Women’s Soccer Championship Tournament, defeating Radford 1-0 in the first round and then advancing past Liberty in a shootout in the semifinals to advance to the championship game. In the championship game, Gardner-Webb sent the match to overtime, where High Point scored to win the match 1-0.

The Runnin’ Bulldogs, which had trouble scoring in 2010, were led by Megan Reimer, who had four goals on the year, while freshman Megan Reynolds and junior Stephanie Benshoof added three goals apiece. Reimer, who was named the Big South Attacking Player of the Week on August 24th, joined Megan Tremblay and Chelsea Hearne on the All-Tournament Team, while Hearne also received a spot on the Big South All-Conference Second team, posting eight shutouts in goal for GWU on the season. Reynolds also received postseason honors, earning a spot on the All-Freshman Team, while Tremblay was named to the Big South All-Academic Team for the second straight year.

Mounce led Gardner-Webb to a 6-8-5 record during the 2011 season, send-ing off one of the most heralded classes in school history with yet another trip to the Big South Tournament. Mounce guided a team which struggled offen-sively early in the season to earn the #6 seed in the conference tournament, where GWU fell to #3 Campbell 3-1. Despite the los, the Runnin’ Bulldogs saw senior Dawn Rollyson score double digit goals (10) and earn Second-Team All-Conference honors, as did Big South All-Freshman team member Megan Curan. The postseason accolades piled up for Mounce’s team, which was rewarded for its efforts in the classroom by receiving national academic recog-nition by the NSCAA. Tremblay added to the academic honors with her third consecutive Big South All-Academic selection.

Under Mounce, Gardner-Webb has seen its scoring totals reach school-record levels. The Runnin’ Bulldogs had four players score over 25 points in 1999 - including Kim O’Brien’s then school-record total of 44 (18 goals). In 2000, three players scored 16 points or better, led by Michelle Haas’ total of 31 points. In 2001, GWU had four players with six or more goals, including 12 by leading scorer Michelle Vander Vaart.

The Runnin’ Bulldogs had a pair of 20-point scorers on three separate occa-sions in the early 2000’s, with Woodworth emerging as one of Mounce’s most successful recruits throughout his time at GWU.

Woodworth was second on the team in scoring as a freshman in 2002 with 20 points, and led the team in scoring as a sophomore with 27, good enough for third in the A-Sun. She finished with 59 points in 2004 and was complimented well by Kier, who netted 35 points of her own. She capped her career with 29 points during the 2005 campaign.

A quality tactician and motivator, Mounce inherited a team in 1999 that had finished the previous season below the .500 mark. He promptly directed a young team to a then-school-record 13 wins and a spot in the South Atlantic Conference tournament finals for the first time in school history. GWU topped national No. 1 Presbyterian in the SAC semifinals, before falling to Catawba in three overtimes in the championship game.

With Gardner-Webb’s jump to Division I in 2000, Mounce repeated his magic. The Runnin’ Bulldogs finished their first year at the highest level of college soccer with an 11-9-1 mark and finished third at the National Christian Col-lege Athletic Association’s national tournament in Florida.

With his team’s success in 2001, Mounce totaled 39 wins in only three seasons in Boiling Springs. Now with 114 wins in 15 years at GWU, Mounce is the school’s most successful women’s soccer coach ever.

Mounce, who picked up his 100th career win in the 2003 regular season fi-nale, now boasts a career ledger of 162-152-27 in two stops as a collegiate head coach - his current post at Gardner-Webb and as the head coach at Cumberland (Ky.) College in Williamsburg, Ky., from 1995-98.

While at Cumberland, an NAIA school, Mounce directed the program to a sin-gle-season record for wins (19) and guided the 1997 team to the program’s first-ever national ranking (15th). He also led the Indians to two consecutive regular-season conference titles in the Mid-South Conference (‘97, ‘98) and was named Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year in 1997 and in 1998. His team was also the National Christian College tournament runner-up in 1997, and he was selected the NCCAA Region Coach of the Year in 1997.

Mounce began his playing career at the University of Kentucky, and then finished his final three years at Sue Bennett College in London, Ky., where he was team captain, defensive MVP, and an all-conference selection. After fin-ishing his playing days, Mounce stayed onboard as an assistant and helped guide the Dragons to a small college national title in 1994-95.

Mounce is the founder of the Hat Trick Soccer camp, a popular summer camp based out of Boiling Springs, N.C.

He, and his wife, Amanda, along with their daughter, Peyton (4), and their son, Riley Noel (3), reside in Shelby, N.C.

Big South Conference

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Confer-ence’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The 2012-13 academic year features the Big South’s largest membership (12) and sponsored sports (19) in its 29 years of existence. The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charles-ton Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford 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. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Champion-ships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 16 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during his tenure, he has brought tele-vision coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball and men’s soccer for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference 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 oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997. The Conference’s 19th championship sport -- women’s lacrosse, begins play this season with eight members. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Confer-ence membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions comprise the 29-year old League. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 700 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Confer-ence has had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 280 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, 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 seven times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007). This past season, the Big South had a record 41 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 10 were named Academic All-Americans. The Conference also won its first football playoff game (Stony Brook), had the national women’s basketball Rookie Coach of the Year, had two men’s soccer teams reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade (Coastal Carolina, Liberty), and had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference in 2011-12. In addition, Liberty was the first men’s golf team in Conference history to win an NCAA Regional, and the Flames went on to finish 10th at the national event. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was un-veiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball champi-onship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 100 Academic All-Americans in its 28 years of existence. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last three years.
