2016 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALL The 2016 Eagles return...
20 LETTERWINNERS
In Head Coach Mark Van Ameyde’s first season at the helm for the Eastern Michigan University baseball team, the results on the field might have not been up to expectation, however there remains plenty of optimism surrounding this young program heading into year two for the coaching staff in 2016. With the season set to get underway on Friday here is a look at what the EMU baseball squad is bringing to the field. SENIORS Through the general youth and mix of fresh faces gracing the roster in 2016 for EMU (16 newcomers, including 11 ‘true’ freshman) there remains a steady core of veterans on the team. A total of seven seniors are poised to lead the team this season, and that includes five four-year players. The senior class is comprised of outfielder Jordan Peterson, left-handed pitcher Michael Marsinek, catcher Tony DiLeo, infielder Mitchell McGeein, outfielder Austin Wilson, right-handed pitcher Augie Gallardo, and outfielder Jackson Martin.

all three weekend starters. Charlie Land, Jake Andrews, and Ryan Lavoie, last season’s weekend rotation, have all graduated, meaning three new faces will be seen on the rubber for the weekend games. A mix of newcomers and returning veterans will be tasked with this responsibility, starting with this Friday’s starter, junior right-handed pitcher Sam Delaplane, who makes the move to the starting role after being an accomplished closer his sophomore season. Delaplane was sixth in the conference with seven saves, while also finishing second on the team with 48 strikeouts in only 40 innings of work. A mix of five other pitchers will look to log significant innings making starts for the Eagles this season. These include returning players like senior righty Gallardo, who made five starts in 2015, and sophomores RHP Brent Mattson and LHP Kyle Huckaby, who made five and six starts respectively for EMU in 2015. A pair of newcomers who could see time in the rotation are freshman righty Davis Feldman and lefty Tyler Butzin, both of whom had productive fall campaigns.
Looking at the bullpen, the two workhorses in the late innings will be the veteran duo of junior RHP Matthew Beaton, and COACHING STAFF senior lefty Marsinek, who will both look to see a majority of the Coach Van Ameyde enters his second season as head coach af- time in the setup and closers role.

Spencer Schmitz. This season, Coach Roof will work primarily with the catchers and hitters, while assisting with the outfielders. Meanwhile, Coach Schmitz will have command of the infielders and hitters as well. Joining the staff in 2016 is volunteer assistant coach Mike Frank. Coach Frank joins the EMU family after completing his student-athlete career at Bowling Green State University as a highly successful pitcher. After a season with Rochester College as the pitching coach, Coach Frank will work alongside Coach Van Ameyde with the pitching staff for Eastern. PITCHING Perhaps the biggest task for the EMU team this season is replacing the majority of the pitching staff from 2015, including

time at the hot corner after seeing action in 34 games a season ago in which he got on base at a .366 clip.
Receiving the pitches from these hurlers this season will mainly be a pair of veteran backstops for the Eagles. Senior Tony DiLeo is the incumbent at the position after making 40 starts a season ago. He is coming off his best season defensively, leading the MAC in thrown-out would-be base stealers with 33. Splitting time behind the plate with DiLeo this season will be junior college transfer Jeremy Stidham, who comes to EMU off of a second team all-conference season at Colby C.C.
A fresh face to look for in a super utility role for EMU will be freshman Max Schuemann, who impressed in fall ball and will be poised for a potential breakout freshman campaign. The rookie can play almost any position, but will see most of his time in the middle infield. OUTFIELD The outfield is the most experienced group for the Eagles in 2016, returning all of its primary starters from a season ago. Starting from left to right will be redshirt junior Michael Mioduszewski, senior Austin Wilson, and senior Jordan Peterson. Peterson started in all 55 games for EMU, while Mioduszewski started 51 and Wilson started 43. Peterson led the Eagles in fielding percentage, while ranking second in stolen bases (18) and third in batting average (.292). Mioduszewski finished with 51 hits, while driving 29 runs, good for second on the team. Wilson ended the season with seven steals, which was third on the team, while also recording seven assists, good for the most by any primary outfielder on the team last season.
INFIELDERS
The Eagles see a majority of their infield return to the lineup in 2016. The only loss comes at second base where reigning All-MAC Second Team honoree John Rubino has graduated. Eastern will have an easier time than some replacing the dynamic player though, as returning to the lineup will be redshirt junior shortstop Marquise Gill, who is looking to make an impact in 2016 after missing almost all of 2015 with an injury. With Gill back in the lineup, last season’s primary starter at shortstop sophomore David Lett, will slide over to second base. Lett appeared in 50 games for EMU in 2015, starting 49 of them. He collected 33 hits and drove in 15 runs. Providing the depth in the outfield besides Martin and Williams will be sophomore Luke DeVenney.

2016 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALL HEAD COACH
MARK VAN AMEYDE Second Season • Detroit, 1996 The 2016 season marks the second year for Mark Van Ameyde (pronounced VAN-uh-mead) as the head coach of the EMU baseball team. Van Ameyde returned to Ypsilanti after spending the previous six seasons at Michigan State University. In his first season for the Green and White, Van Ameyde guided Eastern to a 20-35 record, including a 10-9 record at Oestrike Stadium. He coached senior John Rubino into a second-team All-MAC honoree. Van Ameyde has 17 years of coaching experience, including one season as the Eagles’ assistant coach in 2008 when the Green and White won the Mid-American Conference Tournament to clinch a berth to the NCAA Regionals. Following that season, he and former EMU Head Coach Jake Boss Jr. took their talents to East Lansing, Mich. to lead the MSU baseball program, where the duo has led the Spartans to continued success, going 194-137 (.586) in six seasons. Van Ameyde has been one of the key components to MSU’s success the past six seasons, including helping the program to its first Big Ten Conference Championship in 32 years in 2011 and a berth in the NCAA Regionals in 2012. Under Van Ameyde’s guidance, the Spartan pitching staff has shown significant improvement by dropping the team ERA year after year. As the team’s pitching coach, Van Ameyde has coached seven different Spartans that have had a chance to play professional baseball, including six draftees. In 2014, the Spartan pitching staff compiled a 3.05 ERA, the 10th lowest in program history. One year prior, MSU also held opponents to a .240 batting average, which tied for the best in the Big Ten. For the second consecutive year, MSU ranked in the top 40 nationally in walks allowed per nine innings (22nd at 2.73), WHIP (14th at 1.18) and ERA (36th at 3.22) During the 2012 run to the NCAA Tournament, the Spartans had one of their best seasons in school history on the mound. MSU recorded 389 strikeouts, second most in the school record book, and compiled a 3.28 ERA, the 10th lowest in the history of the program and the best ERA for a Spartan staff since 1972. The Spartans led the Big Ten in opposing batting average (.249), saves (15) and pickoffs (12) while ranking second in strikeouts and third in ERA. Michigan State also ranked among the top 40 nationally in walks allowed per nine innings (22nd at 2.76), WHIP (33rd at 1.24) and ERA (35th at 3.28). All three of Michigan State’s Big Ten starters - Tony Bucciferro, Andrew Waszak and David Garner - were named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week during the 2012 season, a first in school history. In 2011, MSU had two first-team All-Big Ten starting pitchers (Kurt Wunderlich, Bucciferro) for the first time in school history. The bullpen was equally effective, ranking second in the Big Ten with 16 saves. Tony Wieber led the way with a team-high eight saves, tying for third-most in an MSU season, to garner third-team All-Big Ten accolades. Van Ameyde also mentored Garner, who collected five victories on the mound and was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Overall, the Spartans finished third in the Big Ten with a 4.08 staff ERA, the lowest ERA for the program since 1978. MSU also walked the third-fewest batters (172) in the conference and the 332 strikeouts were the fifth most in school history. During MSU’s 34-win campaign in 2010, the Spartans ranked third in the Big Ten in ERA and allowed the fewest amount of runs and walks in the conference. Michigan State also recorded 335 strikeouts as a staff, the fourth-highest total in school history. All three of MSU’s Big Ten starting pitchers - A.J. Achter, Wunderlich and Bucciferro - ranked among the top 11 in the conference in innings pitched. Achter, who was drafted in the 46th round of the 2010 MLB Draft by Minnesota, ranked second in school history and third in the Big Ten in 2010 with 98.2 innings pitched. A thirdteam All-Big selection, Wunderlich led the team and tied for fifth in the conference with eight wins. Six Spartans on the staff collected at least four wins on the mound, and closer Kurtis Frymier tied for third in school history with eight saves. In Van Ameyde’s first season in East Lansing, MSU ranked fourth in the Big Ten in ERA and opposing batting average. MSU’s 326 runs and 537 hits allowed in 2009 were each the second-lowest in the conference. The Spartan pitching staff also totaled 302 strikeouts, which was the most by a MSU squad since 2004 and the ninth-highest single-season total in school history. The Spartan pitching staff also picked-off a league-high 19 base runners. Van Ameyde was also a part of the Spartans’ first no-hitter in over 16 years as on April 4, senior pitcher Nolan Moody no-hit Northwestern in the first-ever game at McLane Baseball Stadium. Prior to joining the Spartans in 2009, Van Ameyde helped Eastern Michigan win the MAC West Division title and the MAC Tournament Champion-

2016 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALL ship while earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament during the 2008 campaign. His pitching staff showed steady improvement throughout the season, as the Eagles won 25 of their last 40 games heading into postseason play. In conference games, Robert Wendzicki led the league in saves with seven while Matt Shoemaker posted a perfect 3-0 record. Former EMU pitchers Dan Puls and Shoemaker both signed free agent contracts with the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels, respectively, following the 2008 season under Van Ameyde’s tutelage. As an assistant at Georgetown, Van Ameyde guided the pitching rotation to numerous team records, including most strikeouts in a season, fewest walks in a season and the lowest team ERA in 23 years. In 2006, the Hoyas posted the most Big East Conference victories since 1985. He also served as recruiting coordinator for the Hoya baseball program, was responsible for recruiting trips, and ran the annual Georgetown Baseball Camp. Before his stop at Georgetown, Van Ameyde spent four seasons on staff at the University of Detroit-Mercy. He led UDM to the top of the Horizon League in batting average as the team’s hitting instructor, in addition to serving as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. From 1999-2000, Van Ameyde was the head coach at St. Mary’s College, where he was responsible for the implementation of the program. He led St. Mary’s College to the NSCAA World Series in 2000. Van Ameyde earned two letters pitching for Detroit, garnering all-conference and team MVP honors in 1994. He also pitched at Henry Ford Community College for two years and helped the team to a regional championship in 1991. Van Ameyde graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication from UDM in 1996. He is currently pursuing his master’s degree in sports administration from Wayne State. Van Ameyde and his wife, Melissa, have three sons: Chase, Cole and Cash.

Eric Roof
Second Season • Michigan State, 2009 Roof enters his second season as an assistant coach under Head Coach Mark Van Ameyde in 2016, after spending the prior two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at MSU. Roof serves as the Eagle’s hitters and catchers coach, while assisting with the outfielders. In his first season coaching the catchers in 2015, he helped Tony DiLeo throw out 43 percent of base stealers, which led the Mid-American Conference. As a team, the Eagles threw out the second most would-be base stealers in the Conference. At MSU with Roof coaching the catchers, the Spartan mask men threw out 39 baserunners on attempted steals throughout the 2014 campaign, leading the Big Ten Conference. Roof coached Joel Fisher, the Danny Litwhiler Defensive Player of the Year and Third Team All-Big Ten honoree, who was the conference leader in gunning down baserunners with 30. Following the season, Fisher was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 23rd round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Returning to East Lansing as a coach in 2013, the MSU battery caught 27 stealing on the base path while Spartan sluggers hit at a .281 clip to rank fourth in the conference. Roof played three seasons in the minor leagues (2009-11) for the Tigers organization. He began his professional career in 2009 with the Oneonta Tigers in the Class A New York-Penn League before playing in the New York-Penn League for the Connecticut Tigers in 2010 as well as the West Michigan Whitecaps in the Class A Midwest League. Wrapping up his playing career in 2011, Roof appeared in 40 games with the Lakeland Flying Tigers of the Class A Advanced Florida State League. As a student-athlete at Michigan State from 2007-09, Roof was a three-year letterwinner and served as a captain his senior season. He compiled a .314 batting average in 136 career games, including 115 starts, to go along with 10 homers and 83 RBIs. Prior to arriving in East Lansing, the Paducah, Ky. native played his freshman season at St. Catherine (Ky.) College. Roof batted .308 as a junior in 2008 and was rewarded by being selected in the 46th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Detroit Tigers; however, he elected to return to MSU for his senior year. The decision paid off as the team captain started all 54 games and led the Spartans in batting average (.345), hits (69), doubles (14), RBIs (41), slugging percentage (.525) and on-base percentage (.440). For his strong season, Roof was named Michigan State’s Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year and jumped 28 rounds in the 2009 MLB Draft as the Tigers picked him up in the 18th round. Roof is not the only one in his family that has been successful on all levels of baseball. His father, Gene, played for the St. Louis Cardinals and Montreal Expos in the 1980s, and is currently a coach in the Detroit Tigers organization as the baserunning coordinator. Eric’s younger brother, Jonathan, was also a three-year letterwinner (2008-10) at MSU as a shortstop and was chosen in the eighth round of the 2010 MLB Draft by Texas; he is currently a member of the Boston Red Sox’s AA farm club, the Portland Sea Dogs. His older brother, Shawn, played at Illinois and is on the Frederick Keys, a High A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

2016 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALL THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 70th year of service to our students. 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 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding its commitment to neutral site post-season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sub-licensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. Last season the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Northern Illinois (Boca Raton Bowl), Bowling Green (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Toledo (GoDaddy Bowl), Central Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl) and Western Michigan (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl). In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Popeyes Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. During the 2014 football season, NIU won the Marathon MAC Football Championship for the third time in the last four years. Kent State safety Jordan Italiano and Bowling Green kicker Tyler Tate were named CoSIDA Capital One First Team Academic All-Americans, while Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush added Second Team recognition. Western Michigan freshman running back Jarvion Franklin was named USA Today Freshman All-American. Toledo senior center Greg Mancz was named by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as Second Team All-American. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame named 25 MAC students as members of the 2015 Hampshire Honor Society, which recognizes college football players that maintained a 3.20 GPA or better throughout their college career. Four more MAC students were drafted into the NFL, including MAC Defensive Player of the Year and Miami defensive back Quinten Rollins by the Green Bay Packers in the second round. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 2 seed Buffalo Bulls win its first ever MAC Tournament Championship. The MAC had six programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Buffalo; NIT-Central Michigan; CIT-Bowling Green, Kent State and Western Michigan; CBI-Eastern Michigan). Kent State advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals with wins over Middle Tennessee State and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. During the 2014-15 academic year, Akron men’s soccer team won its 11th MAC Championship, third consecutive and seventh overall in the last eight years. Akron made its 29th NCAA Tournament berth, however it ended as Ohio State advanced on penalty kicks after 15 rounds in a 1-1 tie. Western Michigan’s Andy Bevin was named Capital One Academic All-American. Bowling Green assistant coach Eric Reed was named Great Lakes Region Assistant Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). NSCAA also named Akron’s Adam Najem, Bowling Green’s Pat Flynn and West Virginia’s Andy Bevin First Team recognition, while Akron’s Saad Abdul-Salaam (Second Team) and Bowling Green’s Ryan James (Third Team) also received recognition. Akron senior Saad Abdul-Salaam became the tenth Zip to be selected in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft with his 12th overall selection by Sporting Kansas City. West Virginia’s Andy Bevin was drafted in the fourth round, 80th overall, in the MLS SuperDraft by the Seattle Sounders FC. In wrestling, Missouri won its third consecutive MAC Tournament Championship and finished fourth overall at the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Missouri senior Drake Houdashelt won the National Championship at the 149-lb. weight class becoming the tenth MAC National Champion in wrestling, including the third in the last five years. The MAC had 38 wrestlers invited to the to the 2015 NCAA Wrestling Championships, where eight wrestlers were named All-Americans -- Drake Houdashelt, Missouri (1st place at 149); Alan Waters, Missouri (3rd place at 125); Ian Miller, Kent State (5th place at 157); J’Den Cox, Missouri (5th place at 197); Chris Mecate, Old Dominion (6th place at 141); Lavion Mayes, Missouri (7th place at 141); Alexander Richardson, Old Dominion (7th place at 149) and Willie Miklus, Missouri (7th place at 184).

Akron won its second consecutive MAC Indoor Track and Field Championship and its fourth title in the last five years. Akron junior Shawn Barber won his second consecutive indoor National Championship in the pole vault and also set a new indoor NCAA Championship record. Barber was also named a finalist for the prestigious Sullivan Award. Akron’s Clayton Murphy was named USTFCCA Great Lakes Region Track Athlete of the Year, while Zips Coach Dennis Mitchell was named Coach of the Year. Buffalo’s Jonathan Jones was named Field Athlete of the Year, while 10 MAC students were named USTFCCA All-Americans, including six first team and four second team.

1970 NAIA National Champions The 1970 Eastern Michigan University baseball team did something only a select few teams have done in the University’s 160 year history, as the Hurons won five out of six games to capture the 1970 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Championship.
The Hurons tasted defeat for the first time in the NAIA Championship, as the team couldn’t manage to capitalize on a total of eight NE Louisiana errors. Peck went 2-for-5 but the Hurons lost their first game, 7-6, on a three-run Rob Smith home run in the sixth inning.
After defeating Lewis College in the NAIA Regionals, the Hurons advanced to the NAIA National Championship, where they took on Emporia State University in the opening round. The team was tested throughout the game, but going into the bottom of the eighth tied at 1-1, EMU first baseman Rocky Roe hit a sacrifice fly to score Terry Trott and give the Hurons a 2-1 lead, one they would not relinquish.
But in one final meeting with NE Louisiana for all the marbles, the Hurons did not disappoint. Pitchers Roger Coryell and Woody Mills pitched nine shutout innings and Dave Smigielski provided all the offense the team would need, as his two-out RBI single in the ninth plated Roe to give Eastern Michigan the victory and the 1970 NAIA National title. It was the fouth time in the week-long, double elimination tournament that the Hurons had won a game in their final at-bat.
In the second round, the Hurons wasted no time getting on the board, as a four-run second inning, which included a three-run triple by third baseman Jeff Peck, helped EMU advance with a 4-2 win over New Haven. In the third round, the Hurons had their first of three meetings with Northeast Louisiana. Facing a 4-3 deficit going into the late stages of the contest, EMU put up one in the seventh and two more in the eighth to take a 6-4 lead. The Hurons closed the door on NE Louisiana in the ninth to claim the win, as Terry Trott finished 3-for-5 with two runs and five RBI, while Jeff Peck went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in the victory. The Hurons needed all nine innings to stay alive in the fourth round of the NAIA National Championship, as Roe singled home Peck and Dave Yeager in the top of the ninth to give EMU a 3-2 advantage. A solid relief effort by Jay Kuhnie helped EMU advance to the fifth round, where it met NE Louisiana for the second time.
Peck was named the Tournament MVP after setting a national tournament mark at the plate, where he went 13-for-23 (.565) with three RBI. Eastern Michigan shortstop Terry Collins was named the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Tournament, as the Hurons finished the season with a 41-11 mark. After the winning the title, Peck and Trott were selected as NAIA Topps All-Americans, and along with Tom Burkert, the three Hurons signed professional contracts. Burkert and Trott signed with the Cleveland Indians, while Peck inked a deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Hurons finished the season winning 11 out of their last 13 games, including five one-run victories. Head Coach Ron Oestrike was named the Coach of the Year by the 400 voting members of the NAIA Coaches Association. ROAD TO THE NATIONAL TITLE...

NCAA District/Regional Playoff Records (Note: Prior to 1954, district playoff games were not counted as a part of the NCAA national championship. However, all district playoff games involving MAC teams are considered in the results but not in the standings. In 1977, Miami became the first MAC team to receive an at-large bid, and played in a district other than District Four. Also, the appearances by Ball State, Buffalo, Marshall and Northern Illinois came when the school’s were not members of the MAC but the records and results have been provided.)

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.

Heather Lyke Natatorium (swimming), an upgraded studentathlete lounge area (football), new turf field (football), new basketball and volleyball practice court, remodeling and design of the EMU nutrition/fueling station and a complete interior re-branding of the Convocation Center atrium, office suites, hallways and Eagles Nest suite. During the spring of 2015, Lyke and her administrative team also began designing the future of the EMU Athletics footprint. EMU Athletics contracted with construction design firm, AECOM, to create an athletics championship building plan which set forth the vision and priority plan for all facility improvements in the next five years. Lyke’s penchant for facility trend-setting and creative branding was on full display almost immediately with the installation of college football’s first gray Revolution Field Turf football field in 2014. As phase one of a comprehensive branding plan for EMU Football and Rynearson Stadium, the new turf received immediate recognition as a USA Today fan vote ranked EMU’s new field No. 2 in the nation behind only the University of Tennessee. With a field designed for players ‘tough enough to play on a parking lot,’ Lyke and her team have embraced South East Michigan’s blue collar roots and automotive history, inspiring an organic re-branding of Rynearson Stadium to become “The Factory.” This comprehensive campaign has included Factory signage upgrades throughout the stadium, a re-design of the football team’s student-athlete lounge, Factory driven merchandise options and in-game team and fan elements, along with a new football game day website, www.emugameday.com, that takes fans inside The Factory for more details on its history and traditions. The campaign is emboldened by the everpresent slogan ‘Champions Built Here.’ Now a fixture throughout EMU facilities, social media and marketing materials, Champions Built Here aggressively pronounces that at EMU, and in The Factory, we build champions on the field, in the classroom and in life. It takes champions to build champions, and from day one Lyke set about upgrading the business model of Eastern Michigan Athletics. Just a few of the companies that have developed firstever partnerships with EMU during Lyke’s two year tenure include: IMG, Learfield Licensing, Aspire, Follett, Fanatics and Google. She has also re-negotiated lucrative new pouring rights and apparel contracts with Pepsi and Adidas that position EMU’s agreements as some of the most competitive in the Mid-American Conference. Lyke’s resource development focus has also led to the creation of two critical new groups already making major contributions to the future of the department. Eagles Pride, EMU Athletics’ first ever annual fund, was founded in 2014 complete with benefit structure and dedicated website to encourage enrollment. The fund is committed to providing financial support for all EMU teams and providing donors an entry level platform to impact EMU Athletics and its student-athletes. 2015 also saw Lyke’s recruitment of the EMU Champions Advisory Board. This group of committed EMU donors plays a number of key roles for EMU
Heather Lyke EMU Vice President/Director of Athletic Eastern Michigan University’s (EMU’s) first ever Mid-American Conference (MAC) Cartwright Award for all-around athletic department excellence… EMU’s first ever MAC Jacoby Award for female athletic excellence… The highest overall GPA in EMU Athletic History (3.259)… The highest graduation rates in EMU Athletic History… 5000+ hours of student-athlete community service in a single year… ‘Champions Built Here’ has been more than an athletics mantra during the first two years of Heather Lyke’s tenure as EMU Vice President and Director of Athletics, it has defined a new era. Lyke, the 13th Director of Athletics in Eastern Michigan history, and the first woman to hold the full-time athletic director position at EMU, oversees the MAC’s most comprehensive and one of its most successful collegiate athletics programs. The department sponsors 21 fully-funded varsity sports with more than 550+ student-athletes regularly competing for MAC Championships and NCAA Championship selection. With a firm commitment to student-athlete experience and comprehensive excellence, Lyke has set about transforming EMU into the MAC’s dominant athletic program. Under her leadership EMU Athletics has hired eight head coaches, including Head Football Coach, Chris Creighton, and 12 key administrators. During her two year tenure, EMU coaches and staff have won nine MAC Coach of the Year Awards, and mentored no less than seven MAC Team Champions, 11 MAC Players of the Year, 46 MAC individual champions, 138 All-MAC student-athletes and 186 All-MAC Academic award winners. Lyke’s unwavering emphasis on academic achievement has supported student-athletes who have broken and re-broken EMU academic records under her watch. In 2013-14, EMU studentathletes turned in a then all-time high overall GPA of 3.159 in the fall, and followed it up with the second highest all-time GPA (3.145) in the winter. 67 student-athletes earned 4.0 GPAs during at least one term and 68% of all student-athletes had a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. EMU’s Graduation Success Rate of 77% and Federal Graduation Rate of 61% were also both new EMU records. Not to be outdone, the 2014-15 EMU fall student-athlete GPA of 3.242 set another all-time record, only to be bested once more when the winter GPA registered at 3.259. The academic year included 73% of all student-athletes, and 16 of 21 teams, achieving a GPA over 3.0. An astonishing 67 student-athletes achieved a 4.0 GPA during at least one term for the second year in row. EMU also held steady at its record 61% Federal Graduation rate and achieved its second highest ever Graduation Success Rate of 75%. Lyke is fond of saying great coaches and student-athletes need great teaching environments, and she has wasted no time spearheading a number of necessary capital upgrades, including: substantial completion of the EMU boathouse (rowing), ADA improvements and restrooms at Varsity Field (softball), bleachers and an ADA walkway at Scicluna Field (Soccer), a new Daktronics scoreboard, bleacher motors and electrical upgrades at Jones

Athletics as ambassadors, advocates, advisors and major donors to the department. This group is currently reviewing and participating in the championship building plan process. Lyke’s ability to build relationships has also extended into the Ypsilanti and Southeast Michigan community. With her undergraduate degree in education and a passion for reading, Lyke immediately set about establishing EMU Athletics as a key partner with the 2nd and 7 Foundation, whose goal is to “tackle illiteracy” by having student-athletes visit, deliver books and read to 2nd grade classrooms. In total, EMU averaged better than 10 community service hours per student-athlete in the 2014-15 academic year with 5000+ hours of service performed. In 2014-15 she also served as Chair of the Washtenaw County American Heart Association Heartwalk, setting a university record for fundraised dollars and registered walkers. Lyke has also reached out to some of Detroit’s most underfunded neighborhoods and schools by striking a long-term partnership with buildOn, a program for inner city youth to overcome the cycle of poverty through community service leadership. In 2014, Lyke cultivated an anonymous donation of $100,000 to the buildOn program and is developing an annual on-campus visit for all interested buildOn students to tour EMU and enjoy a weekend football game. An ardent proponent of growing the profession, Lyke is a sought after national speaker, presenter and leader in the business of college athletics. In 2014, she became the first woman ever to chair the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Committee, and led the Mid-American Conference as chair of their Cost of Attendance Task Force. She is an active member of the NACWAA Board of Directors and the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Convention and Visitors Bureau Sports Commission. Lyke came to EMU from The Ohio State University where she was a member of the athletic department’s executive team and responsible for the assessment, design and development of the department’s strategic plan. She directly oversaw 10 of OSU’s 36 athletic programs and managed/supervised 31 full-time coaches and staff. She also had oversight over all facets of the athletic councils involving budget oversight, revenue generation and facilities as well as the golf course operations. Additionally, she supervised the sport performance division of the department, which includes the strength and conditioning coaches, athletic training staff and sports medicine staff. In 2013, she developed the first ever student-athlete internship program within the Department of Athletics, ‘Bucks Go Pro.’ Her previous roles at OSU included associate athletic director for sport administration (2002-12) and associate athletic director for sport administration, compliance and camp operations (1998-02). Prior to Ohio State, Lyke was at the University of Cincinnati for two years, serving as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator. Lyke began her athletics administrative career at the NCAA national office as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department. She also has worked for the Big Ten Network as a color analyst for softball games. Lyke grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan on a softball scholarship. While at U-M, she was a fouryear letter winner as a first baseman, two-time team captain, Big Ten champion and Academic All-Big Ten honoree. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Education from University of Michigan and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron School of Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1995. Lyke and her husband, David Catalano, have three children, Elle, Sophie and Eli.

This Is EMU
GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.”
This Is EMU
NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES 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” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down 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.

NCAA Compliance FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER
WHAT IS NCAA COMPLIANCE? Eastern Michigan University is committed to operating its intercollegiate athletics program with the highest degree of integrity, sportsmanship, and professionalism, and we urge you to conduct yourself accordingly. The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. Our goal is to educate studentathletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members, and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, MidAmerican Conference, and institutional rules. A successful athletic department depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes, and boosters to be aware of NCAA, MAC, and institutional rules. All of us at Eastern Michigan University appreciate your support. Your commitment to rules compliance is necessary to ensure that the University, its student-athletes, and coaches remain in good standing. Our success is due to support from individuals who are cautious and knowledgeable of NCAA rules. Help us win with integrity! QUESTIONS? The information on this page contains only a small portion of the existing NCAA rules and regulations. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC, or institutional rules, please ASK BEFORE YOU ACT!

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program. 2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective studentathlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:
• Do not visit a prospect’s school to acquire films or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility; • Do not have contact with a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) during any of their visits to EMU’s campus; • Do not contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.
Please note, a prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for Basketball). Students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects.

Student-Athlete Support Services Student-Athlete Support Services
Athletic Training and Sports Medicine
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.
Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning
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.

This Is EMU
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.
