Faculty Senate Agenda

Attachment 3.

 

NEW BUSINESS

Resolution Commending the ECU Women’s Basketball Team

 

To commend the East Carolina University women’s basketball team on their highly successful 2006-2007 basketball season and their victory in the Conference USA tournament resulting in an appearance by an ECU basketball team for the first time in 25 years

 

WHEREAS, the East Carolina University women’s basketball team won the Conference-USA tournament with an impressive 79-70 victory over Rice University after having been behind by as many as twelve points in the second half; and

 

WHEREAS,  the East Carolina University Lady Pirates will be advancing to compete in the NCAA postseason tournament for the first time in twenty-five years; and

 

WHEREAS,  the tournament championship featured the young women of this basketball team and their dedicated coaches winning three games in three days, including a very hard fought game on Saturday evening against a second-seeded University of Alabama-Birmingham team that had earlier in the season defeated ECU in Greenville and then danced on the Pirate logo; and

 

WHEREAS, since that February 1st loss to UAB the Lady Pirates have not lost another game, compiling a ten game winning streak that included a win over Conference USA regular season champion Tulane University at Minges Coliseum on February 18 by a 76-68 score; and

 

WHEREAS, that February win streak led the Lady Pirates to a third place finish in Conference USA regular season competition, in spite of a very tough early season schedule that saw them lose  four of their first five games; and

 

WHEREAS, due to their very difficult early season schedule and the bruising setbacks suffered playing teams from schools that have had long records of success in women’s basketball, and the fact that in such situations it is nearly unavoidable for a team consisting of as many young players as are featured by the Lady Pirates, this team found itself at several points, once during the Christmas holidays and again on the occasion of the February 1st loss to UAB which brought their record to nine wins and thirteen losses, at a low ebb when they might very easily have lost their spirit and confidence in the goals of this team; and

 

WHEREAS, even with their impressive seven game winning streak to finish the regular season, the Lady Pirates entered the Conference USA tournament on March 1st, knowing they would have to win the tournament in order to make it into the NCAA tournament; and

 

WHEREAS, fully realizing what those pressures meant, and how long it had been since an ECU team had played in the NCAA tournament, the players and coaches of this sophomore-dominated team trusted in one another and in their common goal, and for seventy–two hours and through three grueling games performed in a manner that made the citizens of Greenville and Pirates everywhere proud of them and of this university.

 

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That Head Coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener, Assistant Coaches Chrissy Roberts, Melissa Kolbe, and Samantha Young, and Director of Basketball Operations Bett Shelby, plus all the players, managers, and trainers of the Lady Pirates basketball team, be extended the heartfelt thanks and congratulations of this Faculty Senate; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that it is the sense of this Faculty Senate that the administration of East Carolina University should promote this superb showing by this ECU athletic team by encouraging students to support the Lady Pirates and should do whatever is in its power to expedite the travel to tournament sites at which this team may be scheduled to play its tournament games; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Faculty Senate strongly encourages the Chancellor of East Carolina University extend to Sharon Baldwin-Tener and her staff, and to the women’s basketball program, commensurate recognition and rewards as would be given to any other major sports team achieving comparable glory and representing ECU in such a positive manner.
