Athletic Hall of Fame
Class of 2003

BETHANY FORSLUND
Women’s Basketball

2003 University of Montevallo Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Bethany Forslund was one of the best post players to wear a Falcon uniform. In her four years at UM, she was on teams that posted a record of .765 winning percentage (91-28), won two NAIA District 27 championships, and participated in back-to-back NAIA National Tournaments. A four-time NAIA All District 27 selection, Bethany still holds the school single-game record for blocked shots in a game (12) against Auburn-Montgomery in her freshman season, and is among the school’s all-time leaders in several offensive categories. She held the all-time record for rebounding until 1993, when her record was eventually broken by fellow UM Hall of Fame member Sheena Bowling. Bethany is currently second all-time in field goals made (742) attempts (1,512), and now second in career blocked shots (327), a record she held until this past season. A 1993 graduate from UM in Education, Bethany currently resides in Prattville, Alabama.

BERNARD HUTCHISON
Baseball

2003 University of Montevallo Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Bernard Hutchison was one of the fastest players to don a Falcon uniform. A two-time NAIA All-American selection, Bernard remains the all-time leader in stolen bases in a single season (59) and career (114). He posted an .884 percentage in stolen bases in his two-year career with the Falcon baseball team. Bernard posted a .410 career batting average, and was named NAIA First Team All-American in 1996 and Honorable Mention in 1995. He went on to play professional baseball, after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 22nd round of the 1996 amateur baseball draft. He is one of ten players and coaches to have his jersey number (2) retired. An Education major, Bernard currently resides in Tallassee, Alabama.

CLINT ROPER
Men’s Soccer

2003 University of Montevallo Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Clint Roper was one of finest players to compete for the men’s soccer program. Roper was a part of the first UM teams that competed in the Gulf South Conference and NCAA Division II competition. In 1996, Roper was the Co-MVP at the Gulf South Conference Affiliated Tournament and was named to the First Team All-Gulf South Conference. In 1997, Roper once again was named to the First Team All-GSC, and was a GSC All-Tournament selection. Guiding the Falcons from the midfield in his two years at UM, Roper helped the Falcons to two Gulf South Conference Tournament appearances. Clint went on to play professionally up to this day in his native South Africa. Clint received his degree from UM in Management in 1998.
