QUICK FACTS & TABLE OF CONTENTS
The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

2011 PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past… Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy.
2011-12 ARMY WOMEN’S TENNIS
Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

ULYSSES S. GRANT
Robert E. Lee ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor. Ulysses S. Grant ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill. John J. Pershing ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924. James V. Kimsey ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf ’56 As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Raymond T. Odierno ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coordinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator. Omar N. Bradley ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.

BOO CORRIGAN United States Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., named the person selected to lead West Point’s intercollegiate athletic department when he announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his new post. He is a proven administrator with 18 years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP, which increased annual rights more than 40 percent. “First and foremost, I am honored to have the opportunity to work at the United States Military Academy, the West Point leadership and the U.S. Army,” Corrigan said upon his hiring. “It is my privilege to serve those proud Americans that serve our country and to be at the greatest leadership institution in the world. “I want to say specifically to our cadet-athletes that we will provide them the opportunity and the wherewithal to achieve to their highest ability and to provide our coaches with the opportunity to win championships, and build leaders of character. We will strive for our cadets to achieve great success in their academics, military training and athletic endeavors.” Army operates a 25-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Rich Ellerson the Black Knights finished 7-6 this season and closed the season with a win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons.

During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. “We are excited about the selection of Boo Corrigan to be Army’s athletic director,” Huntoon said upon Corrigan’s hiring. “He has wide experience in helping to lead a Division I athletic department and has excelled at the highest levels. He brings to the Military Academy a wealth of experience at some of the nation’s elite athletic programs.” Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations. He previously spent a year as a partner in Corrigan Sports Enterprises, an entrepreneurial sports marketing company, in the Baltimore area -- and also worked two years as an equity partner in mrgoodbucks.com, an e-commerce program that involved creation of affinity business relationships. Corrigan also served two years as vice president of EMCEE Sports, a Baltimore-based sports marketing company with a focus on professional golf from 1997 through ‘99.

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES Housing both the men’s and women’s tennis teams, Lichtenberg Tennis Center continues to make a large impact on both programs as the home of Army Tennis. The seven-court arena, which was completed in time for Army’s 1999 winter/ spring season, features a sophisticated synthetic indoor hardcourt surface, state-of-the-art lighting, locker facilities, coaches’ offices and meeting rooms, and an elevated spectator area that gives Army tennis fans a birdseye view of all seven courts. Through the generosity of Herb (USMA ’55) and Alan (USMA ’51) Lichtenberg and the Class of 1955, Army’s men’s and women’s tennis teams boast one of the finest indoor tennis facilities in the nation. “I think it gives us a big psychological advantage over our opponents,” said Army women’s tennis coach Paul Peck. “When opposing teams walk in they know they are standing in the best college tennis facility that they have ever been in. The building is just unbelievable. It shows our athletes and our recruits that the Academy is serious about a quality tennis program.” In the fall of 2004, a brand new, state-of-the-art scoreboard was installed in the Lichtenberg Tennis Center, which allows fans to follow the action on all seven courts simultaneously. The scoreboard, which measures 26” wide by 13” high with “Army Tennis” and an Army logo printed on it, includes changeable team name, message centers, and a 32’ by 80’ LED matrix display for messages and graphics. The center, constructed by Indoor Courts of America, of Olathe, Kan., earned its first prestigious award in June 1999, when the United States Tennis Association (USTA) cited it as “one of the outstanding public tennis facilities for 1999.” Other recipients of the USTA Facility Award were Harvard, Texas A&M, Penn State, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Whitman College and Florida. The addition of the award-winning Lichtenberg Center has made tennis a year-round sport at West Point, rendering the Northeast’s typically unpredictable spring weather a non-factor. In the past, Army teams were forced to travel as far as 15 miles to play in an indoor facility that was not only costly, but contained an insufficient number of courts. That is the case no longer. The Army men’s team opened its home slate on Feb. 5, 2000, with the women’s squad debuting a week later. The Army tennis teams home in Lichtenberg is complete with visiting and team locker rooms, team meeting rooms and coaches offices. In the spring of 2002, the Black Knights welcomed their latest addition, the Malek Tennis Center. Featuring enhancements to the former Clinton Courts, this new outdoor facility boasts a new spectator seating area and a pedestrian plaza adjoining the tennis and baseball stadiums. Thanks in large part to these two top-notch facilities, the Army women’s tennis squad looks to continue its dominance in the Northeast. The nine courts, which are named after the project’s lead donor, Frederick V. Malek (USMA ’59), are located directly parallel to Clinton Field and adjacent to Doubleday Field. Both the Lichtenberg Tennis Center and Malek Courts have also served as the backdrop for the ITA Eastern Championships for the past several fall seasons.

2011 PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
PAUL PECK
Head Coach 18th Season Illinois ’84
Head coach Paul Peck has led the Army women’s tennis program to unprecedented success as the dominant force in the Patriot League since taking the reins in the spring of 1995. Beginning with his inaugural campaign, Peck has managed a winning record in all but his first full season at West Point. The Black Knights captured a seventh-straight Patriot League title in 2011, accompanied by the program’s 11th NCAA Tournament appearance. Under Peck’s guidance, the Black Knights have appeared at the NCAA Tournament in 1999-2001, 2003, 2005-11, while averaging 23 wins a season over the last four years. Peck was named Patriot League Coach of the Year for a 10th time in 2010. Prior to this season, he won the award six consecutive times. Army eclipsed the 15-win mark for the 14th consecutive year en route to claiming its 11th Patriot League title in 2011. The Black Knights did so in historical fashion - topping Navy, 4-0, in the two service academy rivals’ first meeting in program history. Army shut out every Patriot League opponent it faced in 2011 - including five regular-season matches and two postseason contests - marking the first time in league history that feat was accomplished. Peck has guided the Black Knights to 47 consecutive regular-season victories over Patriot League foes, dating back to the 2002 season. He is also the most successful coach in the history of the program with 297 career wins. Peck has mentored four of the last five Patriot League Players of the Year in Niki Flach (2007) and Annie Houghton (2008, 2009, 2011), while placing a multitude of others on the all-league teams. Six players from the 2011 squad earned all-star status in the Patriot League, including Rookie of the Year Jamila Paul. In 2010, Houghton became the first Army player in program history to receive an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) regional ranking, landing at #20 in the March poll. Under Peck’s guidance, the Black Knights have established themselves as one of the top tennis programs in the Northeast. West Point has hosted the Eastern Championships since 1998. Peck serves as the organizer and director for the 25-team event, which has grown into one of the largest college tennis tournaments on the East Coast. West Point also hosted the prestigious Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Eastern Women’s Regional Championships in October 2005. Army has hosted the Patriot League Championships six times, including five of the last nine years. A 1984 honors graduate of the University of Illinois, Peck enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1985 and received his commission at officer candidate school at Fort Benning, Ga. He spent three years as a platoon leader in an artillery unit in Germany. Later, Peck commanded an Alpha Battery of 5/18 FA during Operation Desert Storm, earning a Bronze Star for his accomplishments during the war. He also received the MacArthur Leadership Award as the most outstanding officer who exemplified the Army code. After receiving a master’s degree in exercise physiology from Illinois, Peck was assigned to teach in the Academy’s Department of Physical Education. In 1997, he was promoted to the rank of Major before retiring from the Army. Just as notable as his military pursuits are his accomplishments on the tennis court. After being ranked regionally in the Midwest as a junior player, Peck went on to play at the collegiate level and in many USTA tournaments as an adult. Ranked as high as eighth in the Missouri Valley, he won the Duncan Open in 1990, and twice was selected to play for the All-Army tennis team. A USPTA and USPTR certified pro, Peck boasts a stellar winning percentage of .646 (297-163) during his 17 years as head coach at West Point. A native of Mundelein, Ill., Peck currently resides at West Point with his wife, Karen. Peck has four children, Alex, Caroline, Danny and Haley. ARMY ALL-TIME COACHING RECORDS Coach Years Yrs.

HEAD COACH PAUL PECK
CHRISTA MACSAY
Assistant Coach First Season Georgia ’01
Christa Macsay begins her first season as assistant coach for the Army women’s tennis team. Macsay, a member of Georgia’s 2000 NCAA Championship team, comes to West Point after a twoyear assistant coaching stint at her alma mater from 2005-06. “I’m very excited for this opportunity to be able to coach collegiately again, it’s a passion of mine. The team is wonderful and Coach Peck has been really great. I look forward to working with him and the girls and continuing the success here at West Point.” In 2005, Georgia went 18-8, advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals and ended the year ranked ninth nationally. In 2006, Georgia posted a 13-10 mark, reached the NCAA round of 32 and concluded the year ranked 25th nationally. A native of Seminole, Fla., and 2001 graduate of the University of Georgia, the former Christa Grey returned to the Bulldogs after spending the 2003-04 season as an assistant at North Carolina State University. Prior to serving on the Wolfpack staff, Macsay was an assistant teaching professional at the Knoxville (Tenn.) Racquet Club. She also assisted with summer camps hosted by the University of Georgia and the Bardmoor Golf and Tennis Club. A former nationally ranked collegiate tennis player, Macsay is one of just five tennis letterwinners in school history to receive the UGA Lewis Leadership Award. This award goes to students who are the embodiment of dedication, motivation, discipline, positive attitude and who seek the good of the group above personal gain. A two-time Academic All-SEC selection, she helped Georgia win the 2000 NCAA team title, the 2000 SEC title and the 2001 SEC Tournament title. The Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Championships and finished in the top five of the national poll in each of her four seasons. “Christa is extremely knowledgeable, having played on a national championship team and coached at great programs like Georgia and NC State,” said Peck. “She was a highly ranked junior player, which gives her experience that will be beneficial to our program and players. She has experienced how top players train and will help bring that knowledge to our program.” Macsay is married to CPT Dan Macsay who teaches for West Point’s Department of Military Instruction. The couple and their children Daniel and Hannah reside at West Point.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its second decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education. The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham (football) and Georgetown (football). These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. For the eighth-straight year the Patriot League ranked first among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. League members have also distinguished themselves on the field of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA post-season competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, men and women’s soccer, softball, men and women’s tennis and volleyball. In the Patriot League’s history, more than 225 teams have been selected for post-season play in the NCAA, ECAC or National Invitational tournaments. The Patriot League also boasts nearly 100 individual studentathletes who have qualified for NCAA Championships, the pinnacle of collegiate individual competition. In excess of 235 Patriot League student-athletes have earned All-America honors. Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s 410 Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance. Additionally, more than 70 of the Scholar-Athletes honored were named Players of the Year or Performers of the Meet in their respective sport. In the Patriot League’s history, 169 Patriot League student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, while more than 10,500 more have qualified for the League’s Academic Honor Roll by accumulating a 3.2 grade-point average and earning a varsity letter. Twenty-seven student-athletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned four Fulbright Scholarships, a Rhodes Scholarship, a Luce Foundation Scholarship, a Marshall Scholarship, three NACDA/Disney Scholarships, five National Football Foundation Scholarships and three ECAC/Robbins Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards among their many accomplishments.
