2010 Season Preview ` The Hornets will look to continue to build on the 2009 season which saw them in the post-season for the third straight year. While ESU graduated All-American Arica Shepard they return All-American Ting Liu and first team All-MIAA outside hitter Brittney Miller as well as a slew of fresh faces.

“This is a new season with a new look,” said head coach Bing Xu. “We must keep working hard daily and be well prepared for every game mentally, technically and physically. We expect to have another successful season.”

ESU will open the season on the road in tournament play, traveling to Nebraska-Omaha. While in Omaha they will face Northern State, UA-Fort Smith, Midwestern State and Minnesota-Duluth.

They then open their home campaign on Sept. 7 when they face Newman University at White Auditorium.

After traveling to Warrensburg, Mo. to face Eckerd and East Central in tournament play. ESU will open the 2010 MIAA campaign at home against Truman State on Sept. 14.

ESU will play three of their next conference games away from home with their only home match coming against last year’s MIAA Champion Central Missouri.

The Hornets will then take a break from conference play as they travel to the Washburn Crossover to face St. Edwards, Angelo State, Abilene Christian and Dallas Baptist.

Following the crossover ESU will meet Pittsburg State, Missouri Southern and Southwest Baptist for home dates.

Three at home are followed by three on the road as ESU travels to Washburn, Fort Hays State and Truman.

ESU plays four of their next seven matches on the road including trips to Central Missouri and Pittsburg State.

ESU closes out the regular season with their final weekend at home. The Hornets will face Washburn in the Turnpike Tussle on Nov. 12 before welcoming Fort Hays State to White Auditorium on Nov. 13.

“We would like to play a tough schedule for this team,” said Xu. “The strength of our schedule will help our seven newcomers to taste what competitions are like at this level and help them become big contributors and help our team in the long run.

S etters

Ting Liu will enter the 2010 season in pursuit of not only the ESU career assists record, but also the MIAA career

assists record. She enters the season with 4,777 career assists and is a former All-American and MIAA Player and Freshman of the Year. Liu averaged 11.80 assists per game durig the 2009 season as well as averaged 1.11 kills per set and 0.55 assists per set.

She will be joined by newcomer Amanda Gerety, a freshman from Topeka Seaman.

“It is very important for Ting to return for us,” said Xu. “Our three seniors have been hitting with her sets for three years.

There are connections with them and that is very important for our offensive line. Plus our new setter Amanda Gerety will be running offense against Ting from the other side of the net during practice everyday.”

Also transferring to the Hornets offensive line is Jordan Lockwood who was also a JUCO All-American for Johnson County Community College.

Morgan Buckner from Kansas City Piper High School and Paige Vanderpool of Lee’s Summit West High School round out ESU’s outside hitters.

“Each of our outside hitters have their own strengths,” said Xu. “They are all versatile and give our team more options in our games.”

O utside H itters

The Hornets must replace two-time All-American Arica Shepard who set five career records while at ESU. ESU does return a core of hitters from last season though including First Team All-MIAA hitter Brittney Miller. Miller was second on the team in kills last season averaging 3.45 kills per set while hitting .312 for the season. Also returning will be Katelyn Schmidtberger who averaged 2.05 kills per set and 2.13 digs per set. Nicole

Senior Outside Hitter Brittney Miller was named second team All-MIAA.

M iddle H itters

ESU returns alot of experience in the middle with Senior’s Brianne Boner and Katelyn Kaiser who both averaged 0.93 blocks per set. Caitlyn Murray also returns after averaging 1.21 kills per set and 0.62 blocks per set. They will be balanced by newcomer Kenda Ely from Inman High school.

“Our seniors can make a contribution with their experience and leadership,” said Xu. “Our young middle hitters will bring more energy and speed to our game.”

Senior Setter Ting Liu was an All-American and MIAA Player of the Year in 2008.

Gingery who was a fill in middle hitter last season will return to the outside after averaging 1.38 kills per set and 0.92 blocks per set last year.

ESU will also have several newcomers at the outside hitter position. Crystal Blue comes to ESU after transferring from Butler County Community College where she was a JUCO All-American.

L ibero /D efensive S pecialist

At Libero ESU must replace AllMIAA performer and ESU career digs record holder Amy Byfield. Both Jocelyn DeMotte and Meg Schwartz saw time last year for ESU. ESU may also look to Jordan Sackman, a transfer from Missouri St.-Louis to fill the void.

“They can all be good liberos, it depends on the game situation,” said Xu. “I really expect them to bring our concept of “No balls hit the floor” to every practice and every game.”

Over the past 95 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA student-athletes have won 12 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, 153 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in eight sports for men and nine for women.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf. The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis.

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State University and Washburn University became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA. The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions. Of those original members, the University of Central Missouri, Truman State University, and Northwest Missouri State University still remain a part of the MIAA. The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest, Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State).

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: the Missouri School of Mines (later the University of Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1980.

The 1980s brought the biggest changes in the conference. In 1981, Southwest Missouri State University

opted to move to NCAA Division I and the MIAA appointed its first full-time commissioner, Ken Jones, in July.

He would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Former Gulf South and Metro commissioner Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007. Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year.

Southwest Baptist University brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern State College (now University) and Missouri Western State College (now University) °© formerly members of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference °© began competition in the 1989-90 season.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season to move on to NCAA Division I, and was replaced by Emporia State University in the 1991-92 season.

In August 1991, Judy Willson was hired as the MIAA’s first full-time sports information director. She left in 1994, and was succeeded by Matt Newbery, formerly the assistant sports information director at Pittsburg State. He became the assistant to the commissioner for media relations in 2005. Kellen Coleman replaced Newberry as Director of Communications for the 200809 season. A third full-time staff member was added in 2005, as former Emporia State track and field athlete Natasha Oakes was hired as the assistant to the commissioner for compliance. Larry House joined the staff in August 2007 as coordinator of external affairs.

The current membership of the MIAA is at 11 schools, with the departure of Missouri-St. Louis in 1996 and Missouri-Rolla in 2005, the forfeiture of membership by Lincoln in 1999 and the addition of Fort Hays State University in 2006 and the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 2008. The MIAA will move to 12 teams when Lincoln rejoins the league this year.

“YAPS, YELLOW JACKETS AND HORNETS” Here come the Hornets! Go Hornets Go! How did Emporia State University really get to known as the Hornets?

A casual conversation between Vic Trusler and an Emporia Gazette reporter named Cecil Carle led the establishment of the Hornets as Emporia State’s mascot. In the early 1930’s, the Teachers College students were called the Yaps. It is uncertain why the students were called that except popular legend suggests that because they were teachers, they did a lot of “yapping.” In any case, most of the students were not fond of the moniker.

Trusler, a legendary figure on campus in the 1930’s, and coach at Roosevelt High School, and Carle, without design, were instrumental in getting the name changed.

Carle was seeking information on the official name of the Roosevelt High School team. Trusler suggested he call the Roosevelt team the Bluejackets since they wore blue jerseys.

In that momentous conversation, Trusler further commented that the students at the Teacher College really did not like being called the Yaps. Instead he suggested they be called the Yellow Jackets because the men wore yellow sweaters with black stripes on the sleeves. And, like the insect, they had quite a sting to them.

Nothing further was said, but the next Gazette article about the Teachers College referred to the students as Yellow Jackets.

The evolution of the name Yellow Jacket to Hornet is almost anti-climatic. A lack of newspaper space forced the Yellow Jacket to be shortened to Harnet. For a while the two names were interchanged and used throughout the state.

To further cement the Hornet tradition, the football team received new uniforms in 1936. They were almost entirely black prompting some to suggest that the team be called the Mud Daubers, which are yellowjackets, which are hornets, which game more sting to the legend.

“Corky” first appeared on the scene in 1934 when Paul Edwards, then a sophomore, made what he thought was a more representative figure of the school mascot than the strereotyped hornet being used. He entered it in a contest and finished second. Not to be discouraged Edwards redrew his hornet and showed it to Ray Maul, then manager of the Memorial Union, who thought he could “use the buzzard.” The Corky figure would soon become popular on campus.

Edwards liked his Corky so much he patented the bug in 1936, which dated its 50th anniversary to 1986. During Homecoming 1987, Edwards dedicated a Corky the Hornet statue he sculpted and is now on display in the Memorial Union Bookstore. A large number of Corky’s cropped up beginning in 2003 during a Parade of Corkys throughout Emporia and many of them are still on display around campus and in the community.

FACILITIES

Over the last several years, Emporia State has implemented several projects to upgrade their facilities.

The projects continue to give Emporia State some of the finest venues in NCAA Division II. The Emporia State Athletics Weight Room was renovated and expanded over the summer into one of the top facilities in the MIAA. The renovation invrease the area of the current “Hornet’s Nest” from 2,460 square feet to over 4,300 square feet and includes state of the art equipment. When the current Hornet track and field weight room, located on the lower level of the HPER Building, is added to the total ESU will have over 6,000 square feet dedicated to athletic strength and conditioning.

Opened in 1937 and dedicated in 1960, Welch Stadium sits just north of beautiful Lake Wooster in the heart of the ESU campus. Crowds as large as 10,000 fans have watched games when bleachers were added in each end zone. Permanent lighting makes it possible to televise games and play at night.

The facility also has been used extensively by individuals outside the University community. Welch Stadium is the home field of the Emporia High School football team and has hosted the Kansas Special Olympics, the 1998 and 2004 Kansas Shrine Bowl. The 1995, 1999 and 2006 NCAA Division II National Track Championships were held here as well.

A Super Turf playing surface was installed at Welch Stadium in the fall of 2005. The field is named Jones Field at Welch Stadium in honor of the W.S. and E.C. Jones Testamentary Trust, the lead contributor to the project.

Zola Witten Track at Welch Stadium was resurfaced over the summer of 2005 as well. The resurfacing prepared ESU as the host site of the 2006 NCAA II men’s and women’s outdoor track and field national championships. The facility hosted the same event in 1995 and 1999.

The Hanna Clubhouse at the Trusler Sports Complex, just north of the ESU campus, has been in place since 2007. The facility houses locker rooms for baseball and softball, as well as coaches offices. It gives Hornet student-athletes on the teams a place to call home before and after games and practices. The second floor of the building serves as an observation deck.

FACILITIES

Throughout NCAA Division II programs, White Auditorium, built in 1940 as a product of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Work Projects Administration (WPA), is regarded as one of the premier basketball arenas in the nation. The 70 year old facility was upgraded during the fall of 2008 with a new scoreboard and video board as well as a new color scheme on the arena floor and the throughout the entire building.

The approximately $270,000 improvement project was funded with City of Emporia general fund and Convention and Visitors Bureau, along with contributions from ESU, the Walter S. and Evan C. Jones Trust, Emporia Sports Promotions, Inc., and Sunflower Gymnastics.

In the fall of 2009 the original wooden balcony seats were replaced with modern black plastic seats, that include cup holders.

In addition to White Auditorium, the ESU basketball and volleyball teams also have a practice facility in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building on the Emporia State campus. The practice facility in the HPER underwent a major renovation during the summer of 2008. A new lighting system was installed as well as a the playing court getting resurfaced to match the arena floor at White Auditorium.

ESU dedicated Milton Tennis Courts in 2004 in honor of former coach George Milton.

Milton was a coach at ESU from 1966-99. The facility, located west of the HPER Building on campus, is used by the men’s and women’s tennis program and it hosted the Hornet women’s first ever trip to the NCAA tournament in 2005. The Hornets also play matches at the Emporia High School Courts in northwest Emporia. The EHS complex has 12 lighted courts, allowing for men’s and women’s matches to be played a the same time.

Jones Park in northwest Emporia is the home of the Emporia State cross country program.

The park provides practice facilities and the host-site for the ESU Invitational, a meet hosted be ESU each year. Jones Park was the host site for the 2009 MIAA Cross Country Championships.

For the first time in the programs eight year history, Hornet soccer played their entire home schedule on the ESU campus in 2009. The ESU Pitch is located north of the HPER Building and provides easy access for Hornet fans.

HORNETS IN THE COMMUNITY

Emporia State student-athletes didn’t just provide the Emporia community with exciting sports action throughout the year, the Hornets also provided the community with over 2,100 hours of community service during the 2009-10 year.

Working with organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, Rebuilding Together, Abundant Harvest Food Kitchen and several local elementary schools, the Hornets contributed over 2100 hours of community service. From painting homes for the disadvantaged, cheering on Special Olympics competitors, collecting canned foods and to recycling, Emporia State student-athletes could be seen all around Emporia lending their time.

Our relationship has been and will continue to be very strong with Emporia. Our teams have been a constant in the community. The teams pay attention to the community perceives them and it is important that we maintain our great relationship.

MIAA Game Environment Award of Excellence In response to the creation of the Division II game environment initiative, ESU created “The Sportsmanship Statement”, which is presented by a student-athlete either live, via audio recordings, or filmed and shown on a video board to the fans before the start of home football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball contests. The statement encourages fans to cheer for their team while also showing respect to other players, fans, coaches and officials. In addition to the Sportsmanship Statement, the ESU SAAC also created the Sportsmanship Creed, which is displayed in each team’s locker room. The Creed was designed to not only convey what it means to be a student-athlete at the institution, but to address how student-athletes should conduct themselves within the campus, community and on the field of play by reaffirming the ideas of Honor, Outstanding, Respect, Nobility, Enthusiasm, Teamwork and Support, better known as H.O.R.N.E.T.S. MIAA SAAC Mentor of the Year Dr. John Rich, Associate Dean of the ESU School of Business and the Faculty Athletics Rep at ESU, has assisted student-athletes to maintain their eligibility by reviewing NCAA rules they must follow and helping them complete their eligibility paperwork. He is constantly in contact with student-athletes either in the classroom or at sporting events. This year, he suggested the initiation of a chapter of the national athletic honor society, Chi Alpha Sigma, at ESU. Not only did he help organize the charter chapter and its initiating ceremonies, but he also made a financial donation to pay for the entry fee into the national organization. Dr. Rich was President of the MIAA from 20012003, and he has been a member and chair of many different MIAA committees. After attending an NCAA leadership conference with two student-athletes, he helped organize the first Senior Prom at ESU. It is greatly due to his efforts that this event continues successfully even after the originating student-athletes have graduated and moved on.

Graduation Rate Differential Award The MIAA uses the graduation rate information from the Department of Education to compare its student-athletes academic success with that of the general student body. ESU had the graduation rate highest above its student body rate with 70 percent of its 2002-03 freshmen on athletically-related aid earn a degree within six years, which was 26 percentage points above the general student body rate.

MEMORIAL UNION RENOVATIONS Construction is currently underway on an $18.5 million renovation of ESU’s Memorial Union. The total project is slated to be complete by fall of 2012. The Memorial Union was constructed in 1925 in memory of the students who fought and died in World War I. Additions were constructed in 1958, 1963 and 1972.

Students approved, 739-181, a fee increase to help pay for the project.

A Lawrence architectural firm, Treanor Architects P.A., designed the renovation plan following a series of meetings with ESU students, staff and Emporia residents.

Included in the renovation: • Creation of new student lounge space and performance area • Renovation of the current student cafeteria • An addition on the east side of the building featuring a new entrance, information center and Admissions office • Redesigned entrances to the building’s west, south and east sides • Redesigned meeting spaces and traffic patterns inside the building • Environmentally-friendly improvements to the building’s heating, ventilation and cooling systems

MEMORIAL UNION RENOVATIONS The process to get the renovation going has been a long one with the first meeting about the project occurring in 1999. Still, the effort didn’t start in earnest until the fall of 2007. The current renovation plans aim to make the union into a “living room space” for ESU students, ESU President Michael Lane said.

The Memorial Union has a long and storied history on the ESU campus. Originally opened in 1925, the union was built as a tribute to the students who fought and died in World War I. Since then, the union has had four additions.

“I think it’s really critical to our current and future students,” Lane said. “It really is supposed to serve as a functional meeting place, a social place, a gathering place, an eating place for our students as well as our faculty and staff.”

“We want to upgrade the windows and lighting to make them environmentally friendly,” Lane said, “as well as more efficient heating and cooling that will be environmentally friendly. The finishes will be done with environmentally friendly materials as well. We want to make the building as green as we can as well as comfortable for our students, faculty and staff.”

In addition, the university is looking to move its admissions office to the union. “(The union) will become the university’s front door,” Lane said, “and it needs to be attractive to current and prospective students.”

ESU ADMINISTRATION Athletic Director Kent Weiser

Under the leadership of Director of Athletics Kent Weiser, Emporia State has consistently competed at the national level in NCAA Division II on the field, in the classroom and in the stands. In the last five years, three different Hornet programs have competed in four national championship games, culminating with the Lady Hornets 2010 NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship.

ESU has ranked in the top 50 of nearly 300 D-II schools in each of the last five years, highlighted by an MIAA best 11th place finish in the 2007-08 Director’s Cup Standings. In the classroom, Emporia State is ranked in the top 20 in the nation in producing Academic All-Americans in the 21st century. The athletic and academic success has combined to place every ESU program in the top 25 in national attendance at some point during Weiser’s ten year tenure.

The Hornets have won 23 MIAA regular season team championships and have finished in the top 20 of Division II in eleven different sports under Weiser’s leadership.

ESU Athletics had five top 20 team finishes in 2009-10 as ten of 15 programs made the NCAA post-season. In addition to the Lady Hornets national championship in basketball ESU also picked up top 20 finishes by the men’s and women’s indoor track & field, softball, and women’s outdoor track & field teams.

In the classroom ESU ranks in the top 20 in the nation among Division II schools with 16 Academic All-Americans in the 21st century. ESU regularly places over 50 percent of its student-athletes on the A.D.’s Honor Roll and has had an NCAA Top VIII Award winner under Weiser. Nine coaches hired by Weiser have been named MIAA Coach of the Year in their respective sports. During the 2003-04 school year Emporia State was the first NCAA Division II institution to advance to the postseason in football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball with 11 of ESU’s 15 programs competing in the NCAA postseason.

Auditorium and the resurfacing of Witten Track have been completed under his watch with 100% of the nearly $2 million coming from donors. These improvements have helped maintain those facilities as some of the best in the nation at the Division II level. His leadership of ESU’s fund raising efforts led to the largest single gift for athletics scholarships in school history, a $1.25 million contribution in 2004.

He helped establish the first department-wide shoe and apparel contracts in NCAA Division II, when ESU partnered with adidas in 2000. ESU is still just one of just two NCAA Division II athletic programs in the nation to be a Direct Sales Partner with adidas. The agreement stretches buying power of all 15 Hornet programs and is similar to programs designed for NCAA Division I institutions.

While other institutions were faced with reducing sports, Weiser spearheaded the effort to add women’s soccer as a varsity sport, increasing participation opportunities for women at the University for the first time since 1980. His efforts helped ESU receive a grant from the NCAA in support of expanding administrative opportunities for women and minorities.

Weiser has been a guest panelist at numerous NCAA and NACDA meetings, including for the Division II Strategic Alliance Matching Grant Enhancement Program and the NCAA Leadership Institute for Minority Males.
