What is a Zip? One of the unique nicknames in all of intercollegiate athletics belongs to The University of Akron. Originally Zippers, athletic director Kenneth “Red” Cochrane officially shortened the nickname to the Zips in 1950. Twenty-five years earlier a campuswide contest had been conducted to choose a nickname for The University’s athletics teams. Suggestions submitted by students, faculty, and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, Tip Toppers, Rubbernecks, Hillbillies, Kangaroos and Cheveliers. The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, received a prize of $10 for Zippers, a $6 pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company. “Zippy” the kangaroo was officially declared the school’s mascot on May 1, 1953.

As one of only a few schools with this training device, Akron joins the ranks of some of the top NCAA Division I golf teams, including Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Florida, Illinois and New Mexico. Usable for indoor facilities, driving ranges and on-course instruction, the K-VEST is a completely mobile, easy to use, interactive system that combines video analysis, 3-D analysis, and real-time feedback in one system. Different from current video systems, K-VEST uses three wireless sensors to provide coaches with a more accurate swing analysis and players with real-time visual and auditory feedback designed to help them see, hear and feel the instruction. The K-VEST enables players and coaches to accurately and consistently measure target alignment, posture, hip and shoulder rotation, hip movement at top, hip movement during swing and spine movement during swing. For more information on K-VEST Technology please visit www.k-vest.com.

THe UNIVERSITY OF AKRON 2010-11 WOMEN’S GOLF This is akron golf | The mid-american conference Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 64-year history of the league in March 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving for six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Dr. Jon Steinbrecher Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), Commissioner men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and most recently baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2008 with five schools participating in bowl games – Buffalo (International); Ball State (GMAC); Central Michigan (Motor City); Western Michigan (Texas); and Northern Illinois (Independence Bowl). The 2008 season also saw the first MAC football team ranked in the Top 25 since 2003. Ball State was ranked as high as 12th in the BCS Standings, 12th in the AP and 13th in the USA Today Poll.

Toledo became the first MAC team to ever beat Michigan in Ann Arbor; Ball State won its first-ever game against a Big Ten foe when the Cardinals beat Indiana; Central Michigan also defeated Indiana; and Western Michigan beat Illinois in a game played at Ford Field. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC signed an eight-year rights agreement through the 2016-17 academic year for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal will be the most extensive in the 63-year history of the conference. The new deal calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Women’s athletics shined for the MAC this past year.

Coaching career Head Coach, The University of Akron: 2007-present Assistant Coach, University of Kentucky: 2003-07 Head Coach, Transylvania University: 2001-03 Playing career University of Kentucky: 1998-’01).

Jenny King, who has built The University of Akron women’s golf program from the ground up, is in her third competitive season at UA after being named head coach in April of 2007. In three seasons, the program has grown into a competitor for individual and team titles, against both non-conference competition and Mid-American Conference foes. Through two-and-a-half seasons, the Zips have won one event, posted 12 top-five finishes and earned four individual tournament titles in 28 events. Additionally, individual honors have included two All-MAC selections (Kristen Hill, 2010 First Team, 2009 Second Team) and five MAC Golfer of the Week honors (Hill, 4; Hanna Ek, 1). The fall 2010 season saw the Zips reach new heights as Akron won its first team title in program history at the Third-Annual Zippy Invitational (Oct. 11-12). Behind five top-25 performances, the Zips won the team title by four strokes. Ek earned the program’s fourth individual title in 28 events, taking 2010 MAC Preview individual honors (Oct. 18-19). UA finished in the top-10 in all five events. During the 2010 spring campaign, the Zips closed out the season on a strong note, posting four-consecutive top-five finishes. Akron just missed the program’s first team title at the First Market Bank Intercollegiate (March 19-20), finishing seven strokes behind the tournament-winner William and Mary. The slate saw then-sophomore Hill win two individual crowns, earn two MAC Golfer of the Week honors and First-Team All-MAC. After a pair of competitive showings in the first two tournaments of the fall 2009, Akron hit its stride – sparked by a third-place designation (among 15 teams) at the Second-Annual Zippy Invitational in early October. UA then captured third place among a 16-team field at the Duramed MAC Preview (OCt. 12-13) the following week and capped off its impressive fall campaign with a fifth-place finish at the Ross Resorts Invitational (Oct. 26-27). As a team, the Zips not only showed great resolve for such a young squad but took a wave of confidence – based on those early successes during the fall – into the spring 2009 season, which was highlighted by the program’s third runner-up finish at the Tina Barrett Longwood Invitational (March 30-31) at the Manor Resort Golf Club in Farmville, Va. UA carded 971 strokes (326-326-319) to capture second place among the competitive 12-team field. First-year player Katie Jenior led a trio of top-20 finishers for Akron with a 12th-place designation at Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio, as UA made an instant impact at its first ever league championship (April 24-26). The spring slate culminated with a tie for third place at the MAC Championship. For her consistent play all year long, first-year standout Hill not only became the program’s first MAC Golfer of the Week (Sept. 26) but also earned Second-Team All-MAC honors. Under King’s guidance, Hill captured her first collegiate win in just her second tournament as a collegian at the Cardinal Classic (Sept. 22-23, 2008) at The Players Club in Muncie, Ind.

Moreover, UA golfers were getting it done in the classroom as well as three standouts – Amanda Butler, Ek and Tyler Etcheberry – were named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-America Scholar Team. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of collegiate athletics. The minimum cumulative Grade Point Average is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent (Division I) and 66 percent (Division II and III) of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year. Butler, a sports management major at UA, posted a 3.52 GPA in 2008-09 while teammates Ek, a civil engineering major, recorded a 4.0 GPA and Etcheberry, a business major, carried a 3.67 GPA. Just 410 women’s golfers were selected nationwide among Divisions I, II and III for the prestigious distinction. This academic excellence has continued through 2010 as the Zips entered the spring campaign with a lofty cumulative team GPA of 3.25. Hill’s development continued during summer when she qualified for the 2009 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, which features some of the most talented female amateur golfers in the nation. With a handpicked, all-freshman starting lineup, UA hit the ground running in its inaugural season in 2008. The Zips burst on the scene with four top-10 finishes in five events during the fall, including back-to-back runner-up finishes. <profile continued on page 18>
