"This is a tremendous honor and a real tribute to all my current and former players," Lowe said. "They worked hard, dedicated themselves and graduated, while I receive the honors. That is a tremendous thing. I give all the credit to them, as well as my assistant coach Marty Lovrich, for the work they have done."

Lowe has been involved in collegiate baseball ever since he played at Auburn University, where he still holds the record for most complete games in a season and for career earned run average.

After his collegiate playing days, Lowe played eight seasons for the Chicago Cubs and later coached in the Yankees and Expos organizations. He also spent eight seasons as the head coach of the Lurleen B. Wallace Community College baseball program.

In 1986, Lowe was selected to build the AUM baseball program. During his tenure, he has captured 923 victories, led the Senators to nine conference or independent region championships and made four trips to the NAIA World Series. Lowe has coached 70 all-conference players and 35 NAIA All-Americans.

Lowe was awarded the NAIA National Coach of the Year in 1990, after his team was runner up at the NAIA World Series. He was inducted into the Auburn University Tiger Walk Hall of Fame in 1998 and into the Alabama Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2007, he was named the Alabama Baseball Coaches Collegiate Coach of the Year.

Lowe, as well as Cox, Ammons and Maack, will be officially inducted at the ABCA Rawlings-NAIA Hall of Fame and Awards luncheon on January 7, 2011 in Nashville, Tenn.

"The numbers of lives touched by Q.V. Lowe's leadership is uncountable," AUM Athletics Director Steve Crotz said. "He has not only helped players in our program at AUM, but countless individuals during the year with various aspects of the game of baseball. A coach is often measured by his impact and the bond developed with his current and former players. Coach Lowe is the epitome of success and is very deserving of the highest honor the NAIA can bestow on a head coach."

The Hall of Fame consists of a division for each sport currently or formerly sponsored by the association and a division for general meritorious service to the NAIA. The NAIA Hall of Fame is divided into three categories: athlete, coach and meritorious service. All inductees will be recognized and honored at various NAIA events held throughout the year.
