Ashley Garbade, Allison Holly, and Emily Santos also competed for the Cru this season. UMHB became just the second school to win a national championship since the tournament became solely a Division III competition in 2000.

“I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to coach these girls,” Cru Head Coach Darla Kirby said. “I could not be more proud of their accomplishment and their efforts this week. This has been a tremendous experience and I am so glad to have been a part of it. To win a national championship in my last season as a coach is something I cannot even describe.”

UMHB took home the NAIA National Championship in 2000 and posted four consecutive runner-up finishes from 2002-2005. The Cru finished sixth in last year's tournament. Kirby started the program from scratch in 1996 and has since led the Cru to 10 American Southwest Conference championships and 13 postseason appearances, including nine NCAA tournament showings. She made the move to Associate Athletic Director in the fall of 2012 but returned to coaching duties as the interim head coach for the 2013 spring season.

UMHB Students Named as 2013 Young Maston Scholars

jstafford — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:00:22 +0000

Thursday, April 18, 2013

2nd and 3rd from right on bottom row: David Bertrand and Yvonne Harold

Abilene, Texas - UMHB students David Bertrand and Yvonne Harold were recognized earlier this week as 2013 Young Maston Scholars during the T.B. Maston Lectures in Christian Ethics, an annual conference hosted by Hardin-Simmons University’s Logsdon Seminary.

The Young Maston Scholar designation is awarded by Hardin-Simmons University in conjunction with nominations made by UMHB and other Texas Baptist-partnering universities in an effort to recognize outstanding undergraduate students for their interest in, engagement with, and integration of Christian ethics. Bertrand and Harold were nominated for the honor by Dr. David Morgan and the faculty of UMHB’s College of Christian Studies.

Nominations are based upon a student’s demonstrated faithfulness to the ethical example of Christ; a commitment to Christian ethics lived out in theological inquiry and academic excellence; an established reputation among peers for ethical Christian leadership; and an articulated clarity in an occupational expression of ministry, though it is not required to be in a congregational setting.

In addition to receiving formal recognition during this year’s lectures, Bertrand and Harold participated in an auxiliary ethics retreat sponsored by the T.B. Maston Foundation, as well as an exclusive ethics roundtable with this year’s Maston Lecturer, Dr. Molly Marshall, president of Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Shawnee, Kansas.

Both the Young Maston Scholar designation and the T.B. Maston Lectures in Christian Ethics seek to honor the legacy of Dr. T.B. Maston, longtime professor of Christian Ethics and pioneering Baptist ethicist, known for his writing and teaching in the areas of biblical ethics, race relations, family life, the Christian life and vocation, church and state, and character formation.

The story follows two bachelors, Ferrando and Guglielmo, who place a bet about the faithfulness of their fiancées, Dorabella and Fiordiligi. To test the ladies, Ferrando and Guglielmo pretend to have been called off to war. After they make their exits, each man returns in disguise and attempts to seduce the other’s betrothed.

Tickets for both performances can be purchased from the CAC at (254) 773-9926. Admission costs $15 for adults and $10 for children and senior citizens. For more information about this production of Cosi fan Tutte or the UMHB Opera/Music Theater program, contact Traci Squarcette at (254) 295-4686.

UMHB Doctoral Degree Adds Nursing Track

Belton, Texas – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor announced today the addition of a Leadership in Nursing Education track to its Doctor of Education degree program. Currently the degree program offers two separate tracks of study for students pursuing the doctoral degree—a track for educators focused on Pre-K through grade 12 education, and a track for higher education professionals. The addition of a third track in Leadership in Nursing Education will open the degree program up to nursing educators who wish to earn a terminal degree in their field of study.

UMHB’s Doctor of Education degree program has operated at full capacity since its introduction in 2007. During the first year of study, all students take classes in research, statistics, and leadership; in the second year, group members move into a specialized set of courses geared toward the track they have chosen. Currently, students may select to pursue the P-12 track or the Higher Education track. Students in the seventh cohort beginning in the summer of 2013 will be offered the option of the third track in Leadership in Nursing Education. Professors from UMHB’s Scott & White College of Nursing will teach the nursing-specific courses, but the degree program itself continues to be directed by the UMHB College of Education.

“Our EdD program has been highly successful in preparing educators to become leaders in school districts and universities across the state, and we are very excited to be extending this program to include nurse educators as well,” said UMHB President Randy O’Rear. “We know there is a serious shortage of qualified nurse educators. Our hope is the addition of this doctoral degree track will encourage more nurses to earn the credentials they need to teach the next generation of nursing students.”

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, U.S. nursing schools turned away 75,587 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2011; almost two-thirds of the nursing schools responding to the survey pointed to faculty shortages as a reason for not accepting all qualified applicants into entry-level baccalaureate programs. A survey of vacant faculty positions released by the AACN in 2012 reported a total of 1,181 faculty vacancies across the U.S., with most of the vacancies being positions that required or preferred a doctoral degree.

The application process is currently underway for the cohort that will begin in June 2013. More information about the degree program and the application process may be obtained by contacting the UMHB Director of Graduate Admissions (254-295-4020 or 800-727-8642) http://graduate.umhb.edu.

The Cru Basketball team is returning home from its bid for a National Championship.

Belton, Texas – On Tuesday, April 9, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor will host a special celebration welcoming the members of the Men’s Basketball team home at 2:00 p.m. in the Mayborn Campus Center Arena on the UMHB campus. The CRU Cheerleading team and Blackshirt Cru Spirit Band will both be taking part in the festivities. The event is free and open to the public.

The Crusaders came up short in the final game of the tournament, losing 87-70 to Amherst. The game was held in Atlanta’s Philips Arena in front of 6,250 fans. Many of those in attendance were UMHB students, faculty, and staff members. The university chartered four buses to take more than 275 students to the game. For those Cru supporters who were not able to make the trip to Atlanta, the Grand Avenue Theater in Belton dedicated four of its screens to the game.

The Crusaders were the Cinderella story of the 2012-2013 season, emerging from the regular season unranked in the D3hoops.com Top 25 Poll before knocking off conference rival Concordia followed by three straight nationally ranked opponents. Along the way, the Cru became the first American Southwest Conference men's basketball program to advance beyond the Elite Eight, the first men's basketball team from the state of Texas to play for a Division III National Championship and the first UMHB men's basketball team to move beyond the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Division III National Championships.

General Peter Chiarelli (Ret.) to Present 2013 McLane Lecture

Belton, Texas – General Peter Chiarelli, USA (Ret.) will be delivering the 2013 McLane Lecture Monday, April 1, at 11:00 a.m. in the Frank and Sue Mayborn Campus Center (923 University Drive, Belton, TX) on the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor campus. This event is free and open to the public.

Chiarelli served in the army for nearly 40 years, including as the 32^nd Vice Chief of Staff in the Army. In that role, he was responsible for the day‐to-day operations of the Army and its 1.1 million active and reserve soldiers. This included the Army’s research, development, and execution of studies, followed by the implementation of recommendations related to its behavioral health programs, specifically its Health Promotion, Risk Reduction and Suicide Prevention Program.

As commander of the Multi-National Corps-Iraq, Chiarelli coordinated the actions of all four military services and was responsible for the everyday combat operations of more than 147,000 U.S. and Coalition troops. He was also the Senior Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates from March 2007 to August 2008. Chiarelli pioneered efforts to restore government, economic stability, and essential services during two tours in Iraq. He exercised command and control of combat operations and trained, prepared, and mobilized reserve forces for critical response operations.

Chiarelli retired from the Army in 2012 and has since moved into the role of CEO of One Mind for Research. Co-founded by former Congressman Patrick Kennedy and mental health advocate Garen Staglin, One Mind (currently a division of the non-profit International Mental Health Research Organization) is an independent, non-profit organization bringing together health care providers, researchers, academics, and representatives of the health care industry with the goal of rapidly developing better diagnostics, treatments, and cures for all illnesses and disorders of the brain. As CEO, Chiarelli continues his advocacy for eliminating the stigma associated with Service Members and Veterans seeking and receiving the assistance they need for the treatment of the invisible wounds of war: Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

The McLane Lecture brings nationally recognized speakers to UMHB to promote awareness and information about issues concerning leadership and business. The annual lecture is offered free to the public through the generosity of Temple residents Elizabeth and Drayton McLane, Jr.

UMHB Mens Basketball

Salem, VA – The longest postseason journey in the history of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor men's basketball team appeared to be coming to an end in the National Semifinals before the Cru found another gear to keep the drive to the Division III National Championship Game alive Saturday night in Salem, Virginia. Down by as many as 14 points to the #1 team in the country, UMHB stormed back to stun St. Thomas (MN) 74-67 to earn the program's first berth in the National title game.

St. Thomas opened the second half with a 12-3 run to push the lead to 14 at 50-36 and seemed to be taking control of the game. UMHB answered with a 14-6 run of its own to close to within six points with 7:44 remaining. The Tommies stretched the lead back to double figures with 6:31 to go, but the Cru ratcheted up the defensive pressure and wrapped three-pointers from Thomas Orr and Cory Meals around a pair of Layton Zinsmeister free throws to cut the gap to 60-58 with 4:53 on the clock. After a St. Thomas bucket and a UMHB free-throw, Meals converted a four-point play to give the Cru its first lead of the second half at 63-62. Will DeBerg answered with two free throws for St. Thomas, but Zinsmeister drained another three for the Cru. A free throw and DeBerg basket put St. Thomas back on top 67-66 with 38 seconds left on the clock. James Allen buried two free throws with 20 seconds left to give the Cru a 68-67 edge and Orr stole the ball on the ensuing possession. Orr hit both freebies after he was fouled on the play, pulled down a rebound and hit two more free throws eight seconds later. After a St. Thomas turnover, Zinsmeister put the icing on the victory with two free throws with two seconds left to set off the celebration.

UMHB led by as many as seven points midway through the first half, but went cold from the field as the Tommies heated up. St. Thomas closed the half with a 19-8 run to take a 38-33 lead at the break. The Tommies shot 57 percent from the field in the first half and held the Cru without a field goal for the final 9:34 of the half.

UMHB shot just 30 percent from the field in the second half, but hit 19-23 from the stripe to clinch the victory. The Cru defense also held St. Thomas to 39 percent shooting from the field and 3-11 from three-point range in the second stanza.

James Allen led UMHB with 19 points and he added seven rebounds. Kitrick Bell added 14 points and seven boards and Zinsmeister had the best game of his young career with 14 points, four steals and three assists. Orr also reached double figures with 11 points for the Cru.

DeBerg led the Tommies with 21 points as he hit 5-8 from beyond the arc. Tommy Hannon chipped in 15 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds. Erik Tengwall also reached double figures with 11 points. St. Thomas was just 8-21 from three-point range, one day after hitting 15-25 from beyond the arc in the Quarterfinal win over Williams College.

UMHB improves to 27-5 on the season with the victory and sets a new school record for wins in a season. The Cru is the first American Southwest Conference program or team from the state of Texas to advance to the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball National Championship Game. The Tommies, featuring seven players on the roster from the 2011 National Champion Team, finish the year at 30-2. The victory also marks the first win over the #1-ranked team in the country for the UMHB men's basketball team.

The Cru will face Amherst (MA) College in the Division III National Championship Game on April 7th. The Championship game will be played at Philips Arena and tip off is at 11:30 AM Central Time (12:30 Eastern). The Division III and Division II title games are being played in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Final Four.
