2014 Embry-Riddle Tennis
DAve paschal Head Coach 10th Season Southern Illinois Edwardsville (1993) Dave Paschal became Embry-Riddle University’s third head men’s tennis coach and second head women’s tennis coach in the history of the two storied programs in Aug. 2004. Paschal has been named The Sun Conference (formerly the Florida Sun Conference) Coach of the Year nine times on the men’s side and four times for the women. He has also garnered the NAIA’s highest coaching honor in both men’s and women’s tennis as he was named the men’s National Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2013, and the women’s National Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012. Paschal is the most successful coach in both men’s and women’s tennis at ERAU, having amassed over 100 wins with each program. His coaching record with the men’s team is 175-34, while the women have posted a 136-70 mark. In his nine seasons with Embry-Riddle, Paschal’s teams have enjoyed a great deal of success. The men’s team has captured nine consecutive conference crowns, while the women won the conference title in 2005, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and finished second in the league 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013. Prior to the regional realignment by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, both teams won consecutive regional titles - the men in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the women in 2005 and 2006. Both teams have earned berths in the NAIA National Tournament in Mobile, Alabama with men going in eight consecutive seasons and the women going seven times. After reaching the semifinals of national tournament team competition for seven consecutive seasons, the Embry-Riddle men’s team reached the pinnacle of NAIA competition in 2013, taking home the NAIA national title. Playing in one of the most exciting championship matches in national tournament history, the Eagles downed Auburn Montgomery 5-4, to bring the team title back to Daytona Beach. In 2012, Paschal led the women to their best finish since the program’s inception. After going undefeated in league play, the Eagles won the conference tournament title and went into the national tournament as the No. 3 team in the country. That rating gave the Eagles a first-round bye after which they registered back-to-back shutouts to secure the

program’s second semifinal berth. The Blue and Gold drew No. 2 Fresno Pacific in the semifinal round and earned a dramatic 5-3 win over the Lady Sunbirds to advance to the national championship match for the first time in program history. Paschal has also coached Eagle student-athletes to nine individual national titles. The Eagles have won three USTA/ ITA national doubles titles and six men’s tennis players have been crowned national singles champions, including each of the last three seasons. Under Paschal’s guidance, the Eagles have garnered conference Men’s Player of the Year honors eight times and Player of the Year honors on the women’s side five times. In addition, 85 players have received either ITA or NAIA All-America recognition and each team has placed at least three student-athletes on their respective All-Conference rosters each of the last nine seasons. Paschal’s coaching background includes stints as the head men’s tennis coach at NCAA Division I Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (1995-96) and as assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at NCAA Division III power Washington College (Md.) (1994-95). Paschal also served as the head men’s tennis coach at Drake (Des Moines, Iowa) from 1996-2003 and held the women’s head coaching position from 1998-99. During his time with the Bulldogs, Paschal helped guide his squad to the finals of the Missouri Valley Conference championship four times (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001) and qualified for the ITA Region V team championships in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003. He coached 16 All-MVC honorees and his men’s squads garnered ITA National team rankings three times attaining their highest mark of 51st in the nation. In addition to the team’s on-court success, the 1993 Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville graduate also brings a coaching style and philosophy, which fosters academic success. He coached 20 Academic All-MVC selections and two Academic All-Americans during his eightyear tenure at Drake and since his arrival at ERAU, 90 individuals have garnered ITA Scholar Athlete, NAIA Scholar Athlete, ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America and FSC All-Academic honors. Both programs have received team recognition for outstanding work in the class from
the NAIA and the ITA. The women’s team had a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 in 2009-10, while the men’s team had a 3.5 GPA. The women (2005) and men (2006, 2009) have also been recognized for carrying the highest GPA of any ERAU athletic team. In the off-season, Paschal directs the highly successful Embry-Riddle Tennis Camps, which provide instruction for aspiring young tennis players. Paschal, his wife Liz, and their sons Noah and Luke, reside in Daytona Beach.

The Sun Conference, formerly the Florida Sun Conference, is heading into its 24th season of competition and continues to be one of the most successful intercollegiate athletic conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The institutions in the conference believe in strong educational commitment combined with balanced athletic competition. Originally formed in March 1990 as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (FIAC), The Sun Conference was established as a conference for small independent institutions within the NAIA. The name “Florida Sun Conference” was adopted in 1992. The league unveiled its new name, “The Sun Conference” on August 18, 2008 to be inclusive of member schools from Georgia and South Carolina. Under the guidance of commissioner Mark Pope, the league sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and field and women’s volleyball. Sun Conference teams are perennial contenders for national titles. In 2013-14, 36 teams made national tournament appearances. The Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team captured the 2013 NAIA National Championship while the Eagles’ women’s golf and baseball teams finished third in their respective national championships. Additionally, the league racked up numerous individual national titles as Embry-Riddle’s Patrick Besch won the ITA/NAIA National singles title, while the Eagles’ Reta Woodard, Nicole Bonk and Mike Edwards won national titles in track and field. Northwood’s Ra’Shad James was named the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Player of the Year in 2013 while ERAU’s Deni Zmak was named the Ward Ballinger
Award winner in men’s tennis. Additionally, EmbryRiddle’s Dave Paschal earned national Coach of the Year honors for men’s tennis. In 2013-14 alone, 64 student-athletes from the league were named NAIA All-Americans, while 144 TSC athletes were also named Daktronics-NAIA AllAmerica Scholar-Athletes. Embry-Riddle finished first in The Sun Conference Commissioner’s Cup, which is awarded annually to the strongest athletic program in the league. Since the league’s inception in 1990, only five teams have captured the Commissioner’s Cup, formerly known as the All-Sports Trophy. Embry-Riddle won its 14th straight cup in 2012-13, continuing to set the mark for cups won. Former member Nova Southeastern is second with five honors, St. Thomas is third (2), while Webber International and Flagler each earned the award during the first two years of the conference. The roots of The Sun Conference date back to 1990 when the league was originally formed as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Original membership consisted of Embry-Riddle, Flagler, Florida Memorial, Nova (now Nova Southeastern), Palm Beach Atlantic, St. Thomas, Webber International and Warner Southern. The league grew to nine members with the addition of Northwood in 1994. Between 2002 and 2006, Nova Southeastern, Palm Beach Atlantic and Flagler moved to NCAA II, but the league recruited new members as SCAD Savannah joined in 2004 followed by Edward Waters in 2006. With the addition of South Carolina Beaufort, Johnson and Wales, Southeastern, Ave Maria and Thomas (Ga.) within the last four years, along with Edward Waters’ move to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the league membership now stands at 12 schools.

The Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team opens its 26th season of competition in 2014 after recording the most successful campaign in program history in 2013. Ranked No. 1 in the final national coaches’ poll of the year, the Eagles came from behind to top No. 2 Auburn Montgomery in the title match of the NAIA National Championship, claiming the first national team crown in program history. Led by 10th-year Head Coach Dave Paschal, the 2014 edition of ERAU men’s tennis looks forward to enjoying the same success in the upcoming season. In addition to returning four of their top seven players from a year ago, the Eagles also have the luxury of fielding the last two ITA/NAIA national singles champions – Patrick Besch (2012) and Deni Zmak (2013). Besch and Zmak have also enjoyed success in doubles play on the national stage as Besch won the ITA/NAIA doubles title with Adrian Bayh in 2011 and finished as national runner-up with Simon Felix in 2012. Felix and Zmak enjoyed a very successful doubles partnership in the fall. The duo dropped just two games through the first three rounds of the regional tournament before topping Warner’s Julian Ramirez and Patrick Frandji 6-4, 6-2 in the title match to advance to the ITA National Small College Championships. Zmak and Felix captured the program’s third national doubles title and went on to claim ERAU’s first doubles Super Bowl crown, earning a spot in the ITA Indoor National Championship field. At the Indoor National Championships, which featured the top players in NCAA I tennis, the Eagle tandem registered one of the biggest upsets of the tournaments on the first day of play, downing third-seeded Marcos Giron and Makenzie MacDonald of UCLA, 8-7 (5). Zmak and Felix were unable to get by eventual tournament champions, Columbia’s Ashok Narayana and Max Schnur, and closed out the fall campaign with a 9-1 record. Besch and Felix are back for their senior seasons with the Blue and Gold. After winning the national singles title in the fall of 2012, Besch (Mainz, Germany) suffered an injury, which kept him sidelined for the majority of the spring campaign. The three-time All-American returned to the lineup in the semifinal round of The Sun Conference tournament play and anchored the top spot throughout the postseason, finishing at 10-2 in singles and 14-4 in doubles play. Felix (Geneva, Switzerland) tied the ERAU single-season record for singles wins as a freshman and is averaging over 25 wins per year. Last season, the two-time second team All-America honoree finished second on the team in wins with a 25-4 overall record and posted the second 30-win doubles season of his career, finishing at 30-4. “Simon is what I call one of the toughest outs in ten-

spot in the singles lineup and posted a 20-1 record as a freshman, including a 15-0 mark at No. 1 singles. Zmak garnered Sun Conference Player of the Year and first team All-Conference honors, and teamed up with Chris Freeman to win the league’s Doubles Team of the Year award. His performance at the national tournament also earned him the NAIA’s Ward-Ballinger Award, which is presented to the individual at the national tournament who exhibited outstanding play, leadership and sportsmanship. “Deni is a great person to have on the team,” Paschal noted. “He is one of, if not our best player, but he is also our hardest worker and that’s great when your top guy is one of your hardest workers; it’s a joy to coach him.” Also back for his second year with the Eagles is sophomore Miguel Lopez Gomez. A second team AllConference selection in 2013, he played the majority of his singles matches at the No. 5 spot in the Eagle lineup, posting a 14-4 overall singles record. “I’m really expecting some great things out of Miguel this year,” Paschal speculated. “Last year was a year for him to get comfortable here and find his groove, and he’s playing really well right now. He’s a hard worker and physically he has all the tools to win at a very high level. I think when he gets his confidence matched up to his ability he can be something special.” “We have two guys that have really improved their game,” Paschal said of freshman Juan Verberne and junior Jose Suger Saravia. Suger, who is in his third season with the Eagles, saw limited playing in 2012-13, while Verberne will be looking for his first action in the Eagle uniform after redshirting last season. “Juan and Jose have worked really hard on their game,” Paschal continued. “You can see their confidence is growing and I think they’ve gained that confidence through working hard day in and day out. They will add some depth to our lineup.” In an effort to fill the void left behind by the departure of 2013 national championship participants Anthony Grasso, David Spennare and three-time All-American Chris Freeman, Paschal has added two new faces to the 2013-14 roster. Luke de Caires, a freshman from Maraval, Trinidad, represented his Trinidad and Tobago in both the junior and senior Davis Cup tournaments and achieved a top500 ITF junior ranking. “Luke is very talented, Paschal said. “He has a big forehand and competes hard. He won several threesetteres in the fall, including a tough match in the ITA regionals, so I think he’s going to be a big factor for us.” Jaime Sanchez-Canamares Rios is a junior transfer with a proven success rate on the national stage. A native of Albacete, Spain, Sanchez-Canamares was a member of the Fresno Pacific team that topped EmbryRiddle in the title match of the 2011 NAIA National
home matches in Gold played at the Crotty Tennis Complex
Championship. A year later, he transferred to Oklahoma Christian and helped that squad win the 2012 national title before the OCU administration decided to discontinue the university’s tennis programs. “Jaime is a big time player,” Paschal stated. “He can compete and he loves tennis. One of the things I’ve enjoyed already coaching him is he just loves to practice; he loves to play, he loves tennis and it’s fun to coach someone like that. He’s extremely talented, but he’s a very coachable guy who is excited about getting better. He’s a team player and he’ll compete for one of our top spots.” “I feel like we could have four guys play No. 1 on this team and that’s pretty impressive,” said Paschal. “They can compete and they love tennis, and that’s one thing I’ve enjoyed already coaching them is they just love to practice, love to play, and just love the game.” The Eagles enter the season as the top-ranked team in the NAIA. As has been the case traditionally, the Eagles will face a very challenging schedule in 2014. The slate includes four teams ranked in the NCAA Division II top 10, as well as five ranked NAIA programs. The men will open the spring season against the Saints of Flagler at Embry-Riddle’s Crotty Tennis Complex on Feb. 5. The following weekend, the Blue and
Gold will take its first road trip to begin defense of its Sun Conference title against St. Thomas (Feb. 8) and a tough match-up against defending NCAA II National Champions Barry (Feb. 9). To defend their Sun Conference crown, the Eagles will have to play a seven-match conference schedule. The slate will include teams from Northwood and Warner, both of whom qualified for the national tournament in 2013. “Our conference has gotten better over the years and the rest of our schedule has a lot of Division II teams from the Sunshine State Conference,” Paschal said. “It’s a good schedule to really challenge our guys to really get ready for nationals.” The Crotty Tennis Complex will once again be the site of the 2014 Sun Conference Championships Apr. 1719. The conference tournament champion will earn an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala., May 13-17.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of men’s tennis on Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach campus, the Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team accomplished its goal of being the last team standing at the end of the 2013 campaign. The top-ranked Eagles made program history on May 18 when they defeated No. 2 Auburn Montgomery 5-4 to capture the first national title in program history. Playing in one of the most exciting matches in championship history, the Eagles fell behind after doubles, but battled back to win four singles matches in dramatic fashion and earn the title of 2013 NAIA National Champion. Auburn Montgomery led 2-1 after doubles and earned wins at the first and sixth singles spots, but Chris Freeman, Anthony Grasso and Simon Felix won their matches at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 singles, respectively to tie the team score. With the match tied at 4-4, all eyes turned to the last remaining contest on the court, a battle between Zmak and Hewitt at No. 2 singles. Zmak was victorious in the first set, downing Hewitt 6-4. The second set remained on serve until Hewitt broke Zmak to go up 5-4 and then held to force a third set. Up 5-4 in the third, Hewitt won two of the first three points of Zmak’s service game and was at championship point, but Zmak drilled back-to-back aces on the way to winning that game and tied the score at 5-5. Each player held serve in their next game to make it 6-6 and force a tiebreaker. Zmak won three of the first four tiebreak points to go up 3-1, but Hewitt answered to tie things up at 3-3. From that point, a back-and-forth battle ensued, resulting in a 7-7 tie, which included Zmak saving two match points. Zmak won the next serve to go up 8-7 and on the next point, he returned Hewitt’s serve with a backhand and hit a backhand slice that Hewitt was unable to return to win his 20th match of the year and secure the Eagles’ national championship.

2014 Embry-Riddle Tennis
national Champions
Embry-Riddle tennis boasts 11 national titles in doubles and singles play. On the men’s side, Mislav Hizak won the program’s first ITA/NAIA singles national championship in 2005 and went on to win two more singles titles in 2006 and 2007. Hizak, who advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA I Indoor National Championships with a straight-set upset of top seed and two-time national champion Ryler Dehart in 2005, also teamed up with Konstantin Lazarov to bring home the 2006 national doubles title. He is also the only three-time “Super Bowl” champion to date. Yi Ching Chen and Josefine Strom made history when they teamed up to win the first national doubles title in ERAU women’s tennis history in 2010. In 2011, the Embry-Riddle men swept both national titles as Chris Freeman was crowned the national singles champion, and Patrick Besch and Adrian Bayh turned in an incredible come-from-behind performance to claim the doubles title. A year later, Besch added a singles national title to his resume with a three-set upset of the top seed and favorite Nicolas Pinones-Haltenhoff of Auburn-Montgomery in the 2012
championship match. The 2013 fall campaign saw the Eagles bring three national titles and two Super Bowl titles back to Daytona Beach. In one of the most improbable runs to a national title, Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang survived a play-in game to get into the tournament field and swept through bracket to win ERAU Women’s Tennis’ second doubles national title. Deni Zmak breezed through regional play and registered three straight-set wins on his way to the ITA/NAIA and Super Bowl men’s singles national titles. He then teamed up with Simon Felix to win the NAIA and Super Bowl crowns, becoming the first player to win the Super Bowl in both singles and doubles in the same season. The Super Bowl wins qualified Zmak and Felix for the ITA Indoor National Championships, which featured the top players in NCAA I tennis. The Eagle tandem registered one of the biggest upsets of the tournament on the first day of play, downing third-seeded Marcos Giron and Makenzie MacDonald of UCLA, 8-7 (5).

The 2012-13 Embry-Riddle women’s tennis team was faced with the task of replacing four senior AllAmericans who led the Eagles to two national semifinal appearances, including the national championship title match in 2012. With only two returners in the lineup, the Eagles battled to a second-place finish in The Sun Conference and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NAIA National Championship. The Eagles will look to build on last year’s performance, as well as individual successes from the Fall 2013 with the goal of returning to the top of the league standings and making a deeper run at the NAIA National Tournament in Mobile, Ala. Four of the Eagles’ top six players return from last season’s 12-11 squad, including 2013 first team AllAmerican and ITA Rookie of the Year Hui-I Huang, senior second team All-American Kristina Marova and senior All-Conference honoree Paola Montero. Head Coach Dave Paschal, now in his 10th season with the EmbryRiddle women’s team, expressed optimism about the potential for success with strength of the returning class, as well as the addition of three newcomers to the lineup. “I’m very excited about this team this year,” Paschal commented. “We finished seventh in the country last year and we have our starting six back, plus we’ve added three new players that will all have an immediate impact on the program.” After posting a 19-11 doubles record in 2012-13, Huang and Marova will be looking to build on an impressive fall campaign that saw the duo rise to the top of the ITA/NAIA national rankings after claiming the programs second ever ITA/NAIA national doubles championship. Marova and Huang entered the USTA/ITA Florida regional as the No. 4 seed, but were edged out 9-7 by regional champions Maria Barragan and Daniela Arcila in the semifinals. The pair earned an at-large bid to the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships where they had to face St. Thomas’ Gabriela Bongiovanni and Tetiana Kovalska in a play-in game. The Eagle tandem played their way into the main draw with a 6-4, 6-4 win over the St. Thomas team and that victory was the start of an incredible run that saw Huang and Marova secure only the second national title in ERAU women’s tennis history. “Hui-I and Kristina had a great fall by winning the national title in doubles,” Paschal said. “They have really gelled together as a doubles team and that solidifies us at No. 1 doubles.” Huang and Marova are also featured in the singles rankings. Huang, the Eagles top-flight player from last season, will begin her sophomore campaign is ranked ninth in the nation. The Changhua, Taiwan native was 16-13 in singles play in 2012-13 and posted a 5-2 record in league action on the way to first team All-Sun

one in the country on any given day.” One of the most decorated student-athletes in ERAU women’s tennis history, Marova (Star Sediste, Czech Republic) will begin her final semester wearing the Blue and Gold ranked 27th in the singles national poll. A three-time first team All-Conference and two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, Marova was 18-10 a year ago was 5-1 in conference play. “I’m really hoping for Kristina to have a great senior year,” Paschal said. “ She is a great leader and has a great work ethic that will push the rest of the team. She will also be a good mentor and role model for our freshmen.” Montero (Maracay, Venezuela) battled back from illness to post a 10-7 singles record, playing primarily at the No. 3 spot in the Eagle lineup last spring. The senior teamed up with Giovanna Tomiotto for a 12-10 doubles record and Paschal expects that her inclusion in the doubles lineup will be critical to the Eagles’ success. “Paola is an exceptional doubles player,” Paschal stated. “She has always been critical for us in doubles and when it comes to singles, I call her a ‘tough out’. She also gives us good leadership and now that she’s back to being healthy, it will take someone playing really good tennis to beat her.” Sophomore Meena Bennett posted a 13-7 singles record in her first season wearing the Blue and Gold. She was 10-5 in dual match play, including an 8-5 ledger at the No. 6 spot. “Meena had a really strong finish at nationals last year,” Paschal said. “It was great to see her grow last year and she had a really good fall. She’s really committed to her tennis and I’m expecting her to have a great year.” “I’m really excited about our freshmen this year,” Paschal said of this year’s incoming class of Anna Götz, Paula Ortiz Couder and Eva Vilar. Götz and Ortiz Couder saw action for the Eagles in the fall, while Vilar was added to the lineup in January. Hailing from Garsten, Austria, Götz’s 5-2 fall record included a two-set upset of 11th-ranked Justyna Wojcik of Northwood and a semifinal appearance in the USTA/ ITA Florida Regional. Her prep career saw Götz reach the semifinals on the East Africa 18 and under doubles circuit in Rwanda. “Anna had a great fall and will be a big impact for us,” Paschal said. “Wojcik was ranked No. 5 last year and is a player that we had not beaten before and Anna’s win against her showed us how much of a competitor she is. When she’s out on court she has that killer instinct and that’s going to be very good for our program.” Ortiz Couder (Madrid, Spain) achieved a No. 9 rating in the Spanish junior rankings and advanced to the second round of the Spanish Junior National Championship. Described by Paschal as an “exceptional athlete
home matches in Gold played at the Crotty Tennis Complex
with strong tennis ability”, Ortiz Couder turned in a 3-2 singles record in the fall and Paschal speculates that as she continues to build her confidence, she will be a big impact for the Blue and Gold as well. “We just added Eva this January,” Paschal said of Vilar, a freshman from Balone, Spain. “She’s kind of the unknown, but so far what I see and like a lot is that she is a fierce competitor. She is extremely fast, is in great physical shape and the way she plays will make her another tough out also.” The Embry-Riddle women’s tennis team has traditionally played a tough schedule and the 2014 season will be no different. The Eagles will face nationally ranked opponents in seven of their first nine matches, including NCAA II No. 20 Tampa (Feb. 1), NCAA II No. 3 Barry (Feb. 9), NAIA No. 23 Southeastern (Feb. 21), NAIA No. 5 SCAD Savannah (Feb. 22), NAIA No. 8 Northwood (Feb. 28) and NCAA II No. 6 Lynn (Mar. 1). The Sun Conference boasts the 2013 ITA/NAIA national singles champion in SCAD’s Theresa Schmaus, the national doubles champions in Marova and Huang, and the 2012 ITA/NAIA national singles runner-up, Tetiana Kovalska from St. Thomas. With SCAD Savannah, Embry-Riddle and Northwood ranked among the NAIA’s Top 10, Southeastern listed at No. 23 and St.
Thomas among those receiving votes in the national coaches’ poll, competition for The Sun Conference title promises to be the most challenging ever. “With all the nationally ranked teams and nationally ranked players, the conference now has to be one of the strongest women’s conference we’ve ever had,” Paschal noted. “We know how good Northwood is, SCAD has their entire team back and also I expect that Southeastern is also going to be very strong, so this will probably be the most competitive year that there has ever been in our Conference.” The Crotty Tennis Complex will once again host The Sun Conference championship. The six-team tournament takes place April 17-19 with the tournament champion earning an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship in Mobile, Ala., May 15-19.

Marova, Huang Take Third at ITA Nationals
The Embry-Riddle women’s tennis duo of Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang concluded their unusual run at the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships with a third-place finish. The day before the tournament began, Marova and Huang were informed that, as the first alternate, they would be playing in the NAIA division of the national tournament due to the top-seeded team from Auburn Montgomery having to withdraw. After winning their first round match on Thursday, the ERAU tandem drew Olivet Nazarene’s Seraphine Buchmann and Aurelie Hascoet in the semifinal round. Marova and Huang dropped the first set 7-5, but rebounded to take the second 6-3, forcing a decisive third frame. The third set was tightly contested and in the end it was the ONU team that was able to pull out a 10-7 win to advance to the title match. Marova and Huang were still able to compete in the tournament, playing in the third-place match. Their opponents were the third-seeded pair of Lilian Ferreira and Mariana Rosa who lost their semifinal match to No. 2 Theresa Schmaus and Maja Plavsic. The unseeded Eagles registered a straight set upset of the OBU team, winning 6-4, 6-3 to finish third overall in the tournament.

The curriculum covers the operation, engineering and research of modern aircraft, alternative vehicles and clean energy systems and the management of aviation and aerospace organizations. Approximately 34,000 students pursue degrees from among 40 degree programs at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Fla., and Prescott, Ariz., and at more than 150 education centers for working professionals in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East. Embry-Riddle also offers online coursework. Embry-Riddle’s worldwide reputation for academic excellence draws students from all 50 states and nearly 90 nations. The 185-acre Daytona Beach campus, located next to Daytona Beach International Airport, has 4,600 undergraduate and 610 graduate students. Excellent flying weather and the resort communities surrounding the Daytona Beach campus offer students an outstanding environment in which to study, fly and enjoy numerous recreational and cultural activities. The campus is within an hour’s drive of the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and within easy reach of Orlando and Jacksonville, which offer a menu of arts, culture, theme parks, shopping and professional sports.
History
On Dec. 17, 1925, 22 years after the historic flight of the Wright Flyer, barnstormer John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. The following spring the company opened the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University began with a simple plan to train airplane pilots in a thorough, efficient manner and to cash in on a booming post-World War I interest in flying. Today, Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education. After a period of decline in the 1930s, Embry-Riddle sprang to life again in Miami, Fla., as World War II erupted in Europe and the demand for aviators and mechanics surged. Allied nations sent more than 25,000 young men to Embry-Riddle’s Florida centers to become pilots and aviation technicians. During the Korean War the U.S. Air Force contracted with Embry-Riddle to train airmen in the fundamentals of airplane maintenance. In the following decades, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreach and strengthened its academic programs. In 1965, Embry-Riddle consolidated its flight training, ground school and technical training programs into one location. With dollars and trucks borrowed from civic leaders, the move to Daytona Beach signaled the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to world-class status.

The Braddock Education Success Team (BEST) Program was incorporated into the Embry-Riddle Athletic Program during the 1999-00 academic year. The BEST Program is a branch of the Braddock Foundation, which was established by Robert & Lois Braddock. It is currently sponsored by their daughter and Spruce Creek Fly-in resident, Cherie Keemar, and was initiated by her late husband, Michael. The BEST program offers tutoring and mentoring programs to assist student-athletes in managing their time between academics, athletics and social development. One of the fundamental components of the BEST Program is Study Hall, which is for student-athletes who are required to attend according to stipulations set by each respective team’s coaching staff. Study Hall is a place where tutors and mentors are available for student-athletes throughout the academic year. With its clearly defined criteria and rules of conduct, Study Hall strives to provide a structured environment
that will benefit student-athletes by improving study habits, honing focus and providing one-on-one learning opportunities. It is not intended to be a substitute for regular class attendance and routine study, but is designed as an essential tool to help student-athletes achieve their academic objectives. Dave Therneau serves as the Academic Enhancement Coordinator of the BEST Program. He and other BEST Program staff members oversee the daily operations of the Academic Advancement Center where all students, including athletes, can go and receive tutoring in many of the courses and subjects that are part of the curriculum at Embry-Riddle. Embry-Riddle recently completed construction on a new College of Arts & Sciences building. It houses a 9,000 square foot facility dedicated to the University’s Academic Achievement Center, which includes the BEST Program.

National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics In the NAIA, a dedication to leadership development is balanced with sports accomplishment. A trailblazer in providing equal opportunity for all student-athletes. An expectation of ethical behavior, fairness in competition, access to athletic scholarship, sportsmanship and leadership development. At the core of all of this — character. The seed of the NAIA began in 1937 with the tip-off of a men’s basketball tournament that has become the longest running basketball tournament in the country, celebrating 75 years in 2012. Out of the tournament grew the NAIA, an association of close to 300 member schools and more than 60,000 studentathletes. Since 1937, the NAIA has administered programs and championships in proper balance with the overall educational experience. In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership. Most recently, the association opened the doors to the NAIA Eligibility Center, where prospective student-athletes are evaluated for academic and athletic eligibility. It delivers on a larger promise of integrity by leveling the playing field, guiding studentathlete success, and ensuring fair competition. Providing student-athletes a chance to connect with NAIA schools and coaches helps them make the best decision to prepare them for success in both college and athletics.

The Champions of Character initiative was established by the NAIA to help promote the “right thing” by those affiliated with sports both inside and outside the sports setting. In so doing, the organization looks to develop exemplary character and sportsmanship in NAIA competition. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This program educates and create awareness of the positive character-building traits afforded by sports and returns integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society. The Embry-Riddle Athletic Department has enthusiastically embraced the implementation of the NAIA Champions of Character initiative. For years the department has sought to instill in student-athletes the very values addressed by the movement. Additionally, the Student-Athlete Leadership Team assists in evaluation and feedback on the overall student-athlete experience. In 2012-13, Embry-Riddle student-athletes, coaches and staff contributed logged 2,285 hours in community service hours.
Members of Embry-Riddle’s Student-Athlete Leadership Team volunteered at the Children’s Home Society, helping to organize their Christmas toy donations.
At the beginning of the year, teams whose studentathletes have arrived on campus early for preseason workouts, take a few hours off practice to help new Embry-Riddle students move in to on-campus housing.
Embry-Riddle’s athletic programs are involved in local elmentary school reading programs.
For the last three years, Embry-Riddle has partnered with the Food Brings Hope Initiative, bringing elementary and middle school children on to campus for special programing, including facility tours, basketball games and pizza.
In 2012, Embry-Riddle women’s soccer hosted the second annual Habitat for Humanity Invitational. The teams in the two-day tournament take a one-day break from competition to volunteer at a local Habitat for Humanity project.
In January 2013, ERAU Athletics partnered with Phi Gamma Delta for a fundraising run from Daytona Beach to West Palm Beach. Proceeds went to to a fund for former ERAU women’s soccer play Kate Schwikert who is currently battling cancer.
