Ryan Ray enters his third season as the head coach of the Eastern Michigan University women’s tennis program. Ray (6-4-75) has brought in several talented athletes with bright futures in the EMU women’s tennis program. The Ray-guided Eagles have enjoyed successful campaigns both on the court and in the classroom. In 2007 and 2008, the team earned All-Academic honors by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, while six individuals were named scholar-athletes in 2008 and four in 2007. In 2008, the Eagles finished tied for third with Toledo in the Mid-American Conference with a regular-season mark of 5-3 that was the best conference finish since the 2003-04 team went 7-2 to finish third. Senior Vanessa Frankowski recorded 77 career singles victories in four years, the ninth most in program history, and was named first-team All-MAC and Academic All-MAC after tallying a 7-1 MAC mark, losing just once to the MAC Player of the Year, Kerstin Pahl of Western Michigan. Under Ray’s direction, Frankowski had a very successful junior campaign, going 29-6 in singles, including a 7-1 MAC mark. For her efforts, she was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year, and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, finishing the season ranked No. 101 nationally. Prior to EMU, Ray was the head coach of the men’s tennis program at Indiana State, leading them to an undefeated regular-season conference championship and a second-place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year award in 2005. Ray, who is well known for his recruiting talents, which he showed impressively at Indiana State by starting with a roster of two players and producing a team consisting of four players that were ranked in the top 200 in the world in junior play and junior college All-Americans. Two of those players had multiple years of Davis Cup experience in their native countries. He also coached two doubles teams to national rankings as high as No. 43 and No. 54 during the 2005 campaign. During the 2002 and 2003 seasons Ray was the assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at Saint Louis University. Ray helped the Saint Louis women’s team to its best Conference USA tournament finish in six seasons, and the men’s program improved its regional ranking from 13th to 5th. During the 2001 season, Ray served as the assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at the University of Northern Iowa. While mainly responsible for the women’s program, he helped them reach a 15-5 record and a No. 68 national ranking, the first in school history. During the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Ray spent time as a volunteer coach at the University of Oklahoma where they obtained a No. 30 national ranking and No. 1 ranking in the central region. A four-year letterman at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Ray was a member of the 1997 NCAA Div. II Regional qualifying team and received the 1997 Nebraska Collegiate Male Sportsmanship Award. Ray received Bachelor of Science degrees in Sports Administration and Business Administration from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 1998.

Our History
Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), and new Student Center (2006).
