2012 Eastern Michigan University Women’s Soccer
A season of ups and downs in 2011 gave rise to a young core of talented players whose potentially dominant style of play took shape toward the end of the Mid-American Conference season. After remaining winless through its first 12 games, EMU earned three wins over the final six matches and styaed in the hunt to make the Mid-American Conference tournament. The Eagles will once again be led by 14th-year Head Coach Scott Hall, who has taken the squad to the postseason 11 times with one MAC title in 1999. Hall’s Eagles rank as one of the nation’s top academic programs, having attained 10th spot among all Division I teams in team GPA for the 2011 season. The 2012 group features 15 returning letterwinners along with seven starters and eight newcomers. EMU soccer fans will have plenty of opportunity to see the 2012 Eagles in action at Scicluna Field, as the squad plays a total of 10 home games which begins with a trio of non-conference tilts, Aug. 17, 19 and 26.

Scott Hall
Head Coach ~ 14th Season at EMU Eastern Michigan University, 1994
The 2012 season marks Head Coach Scott Hall’s 14th year leading the Eastern Michigan University women’s soccer team. Hall has been with the program since it came into existence in 1995, serving as assistant coach for four seasons before taking over as head coach in 1999. Hall, a former member of the EMU men’s soccer team from 1990-94, has a career record of 128-101-38 and a 82-48-22 mark in Mid-American Conference play. Under Hall, EMU squads have enjoyed six seasons of 10-or-more victories including a pair of 15-or-more win campaigns (1999, 2001). Hall’s teams have qualified for the MAC Tournament 11 times and captured one tournament title, two regular season titles and eight top-five finishes. His young 2011 squad experienced some growing pains, finishing with a 3-13-2 overall record and a 3-7-1 mark in the Mid-American Conference West Division. Despite falling short of a postseason berth for the first time since 2006, several of Hall’s players received individual honors for their outstanding play. Freshman Angela Vultaggio was named MAC Newcomer of the Year for her six-goal outburst late in the season. In addition, sophomore Stephanie Clarke was selected to the Capital One Academic All-District Third Team by CoSIDA. During his first season as head coach in 1999, Hall led the Eagles to their first-ever Mid-American Conference title and NCAA tournament berth. During that memorable 1999 season, Eastern Michigan was ranked sixth nationally in team defense, with a 0.55 goals against average. The Eagles also finished the year with 13 shutouts, good for seventh in the nation. Goalkeeper Sarah Willis was named MAC Player of the Year following the season, along with five other Eagles garnering all conference honors. Hall was selected MAC Coach of the Year for his efforts, the first time an EMU soccer coach earned the award. Hall was named MAC Coach of the Year again following the 2001 season after going 10-4-1 in conference play. The 2003 campaign also proved to be a historic run for the Green and White. EMU opened up MAC play going unbeaten in the first nine games with a 7-0-2 mark en route to the MAC reg-
ular-season title and earning the No. 1 seed for the tournament with an 8-2-2 record. The Eagles hit double digit wins again during the 2004 campaign, going 10-7-3 with a 6-4-2 MAC record. After missing the tournament in 2006, Hall’s team bounced back with a 5-4-2 MAC record in 2007, earning the No. 5 seed for the postseason tournament. EMU lost a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime game to Bowling Green, ending the 2007 season with a 7-8-4 mark for the Green and White. The 2008 season was a return to the upper echelon of the Mid-American Conference for Hall and the Eagles. EMU made it to the championship match in 2008 before losing a tough 1-0 game to the University of Toledo. In 2009, the Green and White cracked the semifinals and were led by MAC Player of the Year Ashley Rodrigues. In 2010, the Eagles finished with a 9-7-5 overall record with a 6-2-3 mark in MAC play. Hall’s squad earned the No. 4 seed headed into the MAC Tournament but fell in a nail-biter to Western Michigan on penalty kicks in the opening round. Throughout his tenure with the Eagles, Hall has coached two MAC Players of the Year, 37 all conference selections, 40 Academic All-MAC picks and seven All-Great Lakes region performers. The 40-year-old Hall (10-12-71) took over the women’s soccer program following the tragic death of the program’s first head coach, Paul Scicluna, in the fall of 1998. He had served as assistant coach since the inaugural season in 1995. During his time as assistant coach, the Eagles qualified for the MAC Tournament in 1997 and 1998. Hall also worked with his mentor at Total Soccer, Inc. as a counselor and instructor. A four-year varsity letterwinner at Grand Ledge High School (1985-89), Hall earned All-Capital Area Conference and All-League honors. He continued his career as a member of the Eastern Michigan University men’s soccer program from 1990-94, earning four varsity letters. An Eastern Michigan graduate, Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1994. Hall and his wife, Sue, have a son Jack (7-22-05), and a daughter, Maya (6-21-07). They reside in South Lyon, Mich.

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 65th year of service to the student-athlete. 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 A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 65-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving 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 Ford Field), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and baseball (Avon, Ohio All Pro Freight Stadium). In 2010, four MAC football programs received bowl invitations and it marked the first time in conference history that the MAC had four or more teams receive bowl invitations in a threeyear consecutive span. In addition, the MAC has sent four or more teams to bowl games in five of the last seven years. The four MAC programs that played in bowl games were: Miami (GoDaddy. com Bowl), Northern Illinois (uDrove Humanitarian Bowl), Toledo (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl) and Ohio (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl). The MAC record for bowl appearances is five, which happened in consecutive years (2008, 2009) and only three times (2004, 2008, 2009) in conference history. The 2010 season also witnessed Miami win the 2010 Marathon MAC Championship and record the best turnaround in college football with an eight win improvement over the previous season (1-11 in 2009). Northern Illinois entered the Marathon MAC Football Championship ranked No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 24 in the Associated Press Poll. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten opponents during the regular season as Northern Illinois defeated Minnesota, 34-23 in Minneapolis, while Toledo rolled to a 31-20 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. n 2010, the University of Akron Men’s Soccer team won its first National Championship by defeating Louisville, 1-0, in the NCAA College Cup. Akron junior defender Kofi Sarkodie was named Player of the Year by Soccer America, and Sarkodie was joined by senior midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong and junior striker Darlington Nagbe on Soccer America’s MVP First Team, as Akron’s three honorees were the most by any school. In addition, Nagbe was presented the Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious honor in intercollegiate soccer, as it marked the second consecutive year for a member of the Akron program to be honored with the Hermann Trophy (Teal Bunbury, 2009). History was made in the 2011 Major League Soccer Super Draft as seven members of the Akron’s National Championship Men’s Soccer Team were drafted, including five of the first eight selections in the first round. This set an MLS draft record for the most first-round selections from a
single school. In 2010-11 for men’s basketball, the MAC set a conference mark as six programs received invites to postseason tournaments. Akron won the MAC tournament as the No. 6 seed and played Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. Kent State won the MAC regular season title and represented the conference in the NIT with impressive road wins at St. Mary’s and Fairfield. Buffalo, Ohio and Western Michigan were invited to the CollegeInsider.com tournament, while Miami received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational. Three freshmen were named to the Mid-Major Freshman All-America Team—Juwan Howard, Jr. (Western Michigan), Javon McCrea (Buffalo) and Trey Ziegler (Central Michigan), while Kent State junior Justin Green was named MAC Player of the Year and named All-America by three different organizations—named Honorable Mention AllAmerican by the Associated Press, tabbed MidMajor All-America by College Insider.com; and second team Mid-Major All-American by College Hoops.net. In wrestling, Central Michigan won its tenth consecutive MAC championship, while the MAC sent 23 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship as Kent State’s Dustin Kilgore won the NCAA national championship at the 197 weight class. In addition, four grapplers secured All-America honors--Central Michigan’s Scotti Sentes (133), Ben Bennett (174) and Jarod Trice (285), along with Kent State’s Dustin Kilgore (197). Buffalo won its first championship in men’s swimming and diving, while Kent State won its 19th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 24th NCAA appearance. Ball State made its seventh automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament. In baseball, Kent State won the MAC championship and lost to Texas in the NCAA Regional Final. A total of 17 MAC student-athletes were selected in Major League Baseball’s 2011 Draft—including Kent State LHP Andrew Chafin to the Arizona Diamondbacks as a compensatory first round pick, 43rd overall. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. For the first time in MAC history, six women’s basketball programs were invited to postseason tournaments. Bowling Green won the MAC tournament and received the invitation to the NCAA tournament, while four pro-
grams were invited to the WNIT—Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Central Michigan. In addition, Buffalo was invited to the Women’s Basketball Invitational. Toledo’s women’s basketball program won the Women’s NIT, the first post-season championship in school history with wins over Delaware, Auburn, Alabama, Syracuse, Charlotte and USC. In the WNIT Championship game, with a national television audience and sold out Savage Arena, Rocket junior Naama Shafir scored a career-high 40 points in the victory. History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a fiveschool league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 fulltime schools and a 13th, Temple, and 14th, UMass for football only (beginning in 2012). Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

Introduction
What Makes Us Unique
In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

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 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), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,”“Men from Ypsi”and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.
Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institutional rules. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful compliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks: • Educating administrators, coaches, staff, prospective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules; • Developing monitoring systems to ensure compliance with NCAA, MAC and institutional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eligibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents); • Investigating and reporting violations of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have: • Been a member of a booster organization that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Athletic Club, E-Gridiron Group); • Made any financial contributions to the athletics department; • Been involved in promoting EMU's athletics program; • Been a season ticket holder; or • Provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their relatives or friends. You can become a booster if you provide benefits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true: • The relationship between the athlete (or parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a result of the athlete's participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete; • The relationship began only after the athlete become a prospect; • The relationship began only after the athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation; • The pattern of benefits increased after the athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.
ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program. WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent. WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off-campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the MidAmerican Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges). QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective studentathletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact Christopher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or choppe3@ emich.edu.
