Why LSU?

Bradie James Linebacker (1999-2002) Dallas Cowboys

“Throughout the entire recruiting process, I always knew LSU was the best choice. Being from the great state of Louisiana, LSU was a home away from home. I knew that this would be a place I could grow as a student-athlete and a young man. The coaches, faculty and the 92,000 marvelous fans only help to make the decision much easier. Looking back on it, I couldn’t have asked for more from the experience.”

COACHES TIGERS review History

“As far back as I can remember (riding bicycles, playing little league baseball), I have literally bled purple and gold. It never crossed my mind that there was anywhere else to go other than LSU. The experiences and relationships that I developed at LSU have been an integral part of my life. No other colleges existed in my mind. I am fortunate to have attended a place that I considered a dream and look forward to my association with the University until the day I die.”

pREVIEW

“I was basically an in-state guy and had always thought about going to LSU for football and to get a good education. I made a lot of visits to different schools in my selection process, but everything always pointed toward LSU. My heart and my family guided me in that direction not just for the athletics, but for the academics as well. From top to bottom LSU has good people from the coaches on down the line.” “It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

Campus Life LSU’s Memorial Tower (top main photo) was one of the first structures completed on the present campus and sits east of the quadrangle (above, left). It represents the University as a memorial to those who gave their lives during World War I. Although it currently houses the LSU Anglo-American Art Museum, plans are in process to return Memorial Tower to a military museum as originally intended. The University lakes (above, right) on the LSU campus give various recreational options.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 145year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. For the past five years, the focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping. Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university. Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.

LSU student-athletes participate in a variety of community service projects including reading in schools, nursing home visits, hospital pediatric ward visits and speaking engagements.

Jade Jenkins

Assistant Director for the CHAMPS/Life Skills program

How Can CHAMPS Help? The CHAMPS/Life Skills program was developed by the NCAA to help prepare student-athletes for the challenges of life beyond the playing field. Through workshops, service projects, and social events, CHAMPS, an acronym for Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success, brings LSU student-athletes information that will prepare them for the biggest game of all - the game of life!

By focusing on “real life” skills and personal development, the CHAMPS Program not only assists the student-athletes with meeting daily challenges, but also enhances student-athlete’s growth in their college years and beyond.

CHAMPS at LSU

The CHAMPS/Life Skills program at LSU is operated out of the Academic Center for Athletes, and the focus of the program is on five commitments viewed as critical to personal growth.

The Tigers have been nearly unbeatable at the LSU Soccer Complex under the direction of head coach Brian Lee as they enter the fall with a sparkling 19-3-5 home mark since 2006. The squad has only dropped one decision at home over the last two seasons as it followed an unbeaten 5-0-3 home slate in 2007 with an impressive 8-1 campaign a year ago. In fact, LSU saw its school record 18-game home unbeaten streak snapped on Oct. 26, 2008, with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the sixth-ranked Florida Gators. The start of the 2009 season marks the 14th season in the life of the LSU Soccer Complex – a field that was christened on Sept. 13, 1996, when the Tigers played host to rival Tennessee. The Tigers set the single-game attendance record on Oct. 5, 2007, when 2,402 fans witnessed a 3-0 upset of sixth-ranked Tennessee for their first ever win over an opponent ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation. In fact, the Tigers set the all-time attendance record three times during the 2007 season and finished the fall ranked No. 10 nationally in average attendance and No. 7 nationally in average paid attendance while drawing 1,294 fans per match. The stadium features a newly renovated locker room facility with a brand new visitor’s locker room on the south end of the facility and a stateof-the-art squad room measuring 2,000 square feet that was completed in the summer of 2006. The facility underwent further renovations in the spring of 2007 as the LSU athletic department invested $250,000 into a total reconstruction of the facility’s playing surface. The field was flattened and covered with a hybrid Bermuda grass called Mississippi Choice similar to the playing surface in Tiger Stadium. It also features a brand new drainage and irrigation system to keep the field in pristine condition year round.

The locker room facility at the LSU Soccer Complex recently underwent an extensive $200,000 renovation project that included the addition of a brand new visitor’s locker room on the south end of the facility. The former visitor’s locker room was expanded to 2,000 square feet and converted into a state-of-the-art squad room and lounge for the Tigers to enjoy. The facility underwent further renovations in the spring of 2007 as the LSU athletic department invested $250,000 into a total reconstruction of the facility’s playing surface.

The Nation’s Elite Teams

TRADITION

Baseball

The Team of the 90s returned to the top of 21st-century college baseball as LSU brought home a sixth national championship in its first season at New Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers knocked off top-seeded Texas in the best-of-three College World Series championship series and were sparked by a 14-game postseason winning streak. Third-year head coach Paul Mainieri was the unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year as LSU finished the season with a 56-17 record, a Southeastern Conference regular season title and an SEC Tournament title.

Men’s Basketball

The LSU men’s basketball team captured its fourth SEC Western Division title this decade and won the Southeastern Conference regular season championship with a 13-3 record, winning the title by three games under first-year head coach Trent Johnson. LSU was 27-8 on the year and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Johnson was the consensus choice as SEC Coach of the Year and a finalist for three national coach of the year honors.

Gymnastics

The gymnastics team continued to show it is one of the nation’s elite programs in 2009 by advancing to the Super Six after capturing the NCAA Central Regional for the second year in a row. The regional championship marked the Tigers’ sixth overall, and the Super Six berth was the team’s second straight. LSU has now made 25-consecutive postseason appearances.

Track & Field

The Tigers earned a pair of top-five finishes in NCAA competition with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships followed by a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Lady Tigers finished sixth nationally during both the indoor and outdoor seasons while earning a pair of runner-up team finishes at the SEC Championships.

Soccer

The LSU soccer team continued its rise to national prominence with an outstanding 2008 season in which it captured its second-straight SEC Western Division championship and earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. The Tigers recorded program bests with a 14-4-2 overall record and a 7-3-1 mark in SEC play, while they also finished second in the final SEC standings.

LSU’s all-time leader in career individual titles with 114, Ashleigh Clare-Kearney became the fifth national champion in school history and the first LSU gymnast to capture two individual national titles. She became the Vault National Champion with a 9.9000 average and the Floor National Champion with a 9.9500 score. In addition, Clare-Kearney earned First Team All-America honors on vault, bars and floor.

Trindon Holliday wrapped up the 2009 season as the NCAA’s fastest man as he was crowned NCAA champion in the 100meter dash while setting a new personal best with the top time in the country at 10.00 seconds in the national final. Holliday also earned a pair of runner-up finishes in NCAA competition during the 2009 season in the 60 meters indoors and 4x100-meter relay outdoors to finish with eight All-America honors for his career.

Tyson Jackson became the highest LSU defender to ever be picked in the NFL Draft when he was selected as the No. 3 overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2009 draft. A second team All-SEC selection, he finished his career with 122 tackles and 18.5 sacks while leading the Tigers to a fourth-straight bowl victory in the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Georgia Tech.

Jared Mitchell became LSU’s first Major League Baseball first round draft selection since 2003 when he was taken No. 23 overall by the Chicago White Sox. The junior outfielder was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2009 College World Series following the Tigers’ run to a sixth national title. Mitchell, also a wide receiver on the gridiron, became just the second athlete in school history to win national titles in multiple sports.

The consensus Player of the year for the Southeastern Conference as he led the Tigers to the regular season SEC championship with a 13-3 record. Thornton averaged over 21 points a game and would be among the quickest Tigers to 1,000 points, reaching it in less than two years. Thornton was drafted in the second round by the Miami Heat and traded to the New Orleans Hornets.

LSU GREATS

The following eight individuals are the only athletes to have their jerseys retired by LSU. Basketball has retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy Macklin. Football’s only two retired jerseys are the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor of longtime coach and athletics director emeritus Skip Bertman and the No. 20 for Ben McDonald. Casanova, Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009.

Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953 and he later became the first player in NBA history to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

One of the true legends of college football in the South, Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss, 3-0, in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.

Bob Pettit

Billy Cannon

“Pistol Pete” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players in 1997.

O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds for his career, and in 1991, he was named the World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

About LSU Retired Jerseys

The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald and Macklin comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

LSU INTRO This is LSU pREVIEW COACHES TIGERS review

A legend in the college baseball ranks, Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and is the LSU athletics director emeritus. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Tommy Casanova is the only threetime All-American in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.

Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the second-leading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound record with 32, a mark like some of the great records in any sport that may never be broken.

Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was also named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball as he went 14-4 with an ERA of 3.49 and an SEC record 202 strikeouts. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the No. 1 pick in the major league draft in 1989 and went on to enjoy a 10-year major league career with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Director of Athletics

Joe Alleva LSU Director of Athletics

This is LSU COACHES

Joe Alleva enters his second year as LSU’s Director of Athletics after being hired to lead one of the nation’s most powerful athletic programs on April 4, 2008. Alleva joined LSU after 10 years of outstanding leadership as the director of athletics at Duke University. He officially took over at LSU on July 1, 2008.

PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES review TIGERS History review History

Under Alleva’s guidance in 2008-09, LSU reached new heights in terms of athletic success while continuing to be recognized as one of the top enterprises in college athletics. A veteran leader in college athletics, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence. He is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva, 56, is well-respected for sustaining high standards of excellence and integrity in athletic programs, hiring the finest coaches in the country and the high level of success achieved by studentathletes. Under Alleva’s direction, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA post-season play for the first time in school history, and it culminated with the baseball team winning the national championship. In addition, six teams finished in the top 10 nationally. The Tigers hold claim to being the only school in the Southeastern Conference to participate in a bowl game and the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments during 2008-09. Furthermore, LSU student-athletes volunteered a total of 2,360 hours for community service projects. LSU earned a ninth-place ranking in the 2009 Learfield Director’s Cup, which measures the overall athletic success for institutions across the country. LSU was second only to Florida in the Director’s Cup among SEC institutions as the Tigers accumulated points in 18 of a possible 20 categories in the standings, also a first for the school. Upon being hired at LSU, Alleva immediately made an impact by hiring Trent Johnson to lead the men’s basketball program. Johnson, the 2009 SEC Coach of the Year, wasted little time in turning the Tigers into a winner as LSU claimed the 2009 SEC regular season title and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. LSU also had top 10 national finishes in gymnastics, men’s and women’s indoor track and field and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. Thirteen of LSU’s 20 sports finished the year ranked among the top 25 in the nation. The Tiger football team capped its season with a record ninth-straight bowl appearance as LSU closed out 2008 with a 38-3 win over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. During the offseason, Alleva helped secure the funding necessary for the addition of a state-of-the-art artificial turf practice field, which compliments the surface the Tigers have in their indoor practice facility. The addition of the outdoor artificial turf field gives the LSU football program one of the nation’s finest all-around facilities. Not only did LSU teams set records but so did

the fans as more than 1.5 million fans filled venues on the LSU campus. LSU set the school record for overall attendance in the sports of football, baseball and softball. Alleva oversaw the grand opening of two of the premier baseball and softball facilities in college athletics, Alex Box Stadium and Tiger Park. LSU also broke ground on a basketball practice facility that will house both the men’s and women’s basketball teams starting in December of this year. The new basketball practice facility will feature two

full-length courts as well as locker rooms and other amenities for both squads. In addition, LSU opened a new gift center for its fans – the LSU SportsShop. The LSU SportsShop, a spectacular, free-standing facility that features the latest in LSU apparel and merchandise, is located adjacent to Mike’s Habitat. Under Alleva’s guidance, LSU has one of the most lucrative apparel and shoe contracts with Nike while also having one of the nation’s most attractive multimedia rights contracts with CBS Collegiate Sports Properties. LSU athletic budget is now approaching $85 million, which allows the university to compete at the highest level in the nation. Alleva has a long-term vision for continued improvements to LSU’s athletic facilities in order to insure that the Tigers are among the best in the country well into the 21st Century. One of his top priorities is the enhancement of Tiger Stadium and making Tiger Stadium and the North Stadium Drive corridor a showplace for the university. Alleva’s innovative plan is to make a plaza area between the

2009 LSU soccer Media Guide

Maravich Assembly Center and Tiger Stadium that would recognize LSU’s national championship teams and distinguished alumni. This special area, along with Mike’s Habitat, and the LSU SportsShop, would become the focal point for visitors to campus. Alleva is also pursuing a major renovation to the golf course at the University Club and is developing plans for a new gymnastics practice facility, indoor tennis center and improved soccer and track facilities. “Joe Alleva brings a wealth of experience and accomplishment to LSU,” LSU President John Lombardi said of hiring Alleva. “I’m confident we’ve found a new leader for LSU athletics who exemplifies the vision and integrity needed to lead our sports programs to new heights, a champion of student athletes who believes in the highest standards of competition both on the field and in the classroom.” Alleva’s impressive tenure as director of athletics at Duke propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Also, his fundraising reached extensive heights providing new facilities or renovations for all 26 sports at Duke, which enhanced the experience for every student-athlete. Alleva is active on the national collegiate athletics scene, having served on the Football Bowl Certification Committee. He sat on several Atlantic Coast Conference committees and served on the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. Alleva majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. Alleva began his 32-year career at Duke University in 1976. He spent 28 years in the athletic administration prior to becoming director of athletics in 1998. Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham more than 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program Alleva is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff and Jenny.

INTRO This is LSU preview coaches tigers review History

Recipe for a Three-Peat If there was ever any doubt about LSU’s claim as being one of the premier programs in the Southeastern Conference, the Tigers put it to rest in 2008 by capturing their second-straight SEC Western Division championship and earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. In fact, the Tigers enjoyed their most successful season in the history of the program by finishing second in the final SEC standings. There is no question that LSU has enjoyed its time in the national spotlight over the last two seasons and is poised to continue its success this fall as it seeks its third SEC West crown and trip to the NCAA Tournament in as many seasons. The mastermind behind LSU’s meteoric rise to national prominence is head coach Brian Lee, who is in his fifth season leading a program that enters the 2009 season with expectations like never before. The Tigers are poised to take the next step this fall and contend for their first overall conference championship as they return eight full-time starters from a year ago and are set to compete with an experienced roster with eight seniors and one junior in the playing rotation. “We’re all very proud of what this team was able to accomplish last year, and we feel like we have the kind of team returning that can make another run at an SEC championship again this season,” Lee said. “I think a key for us this year will be the experience that we have returning. We’ve been a very young team the past two or three years, but now we will compete with a roster filled with upperclassmen who have all experienced great success at this level.” The Tigers feature one of the more feared offensive attacks in the SEC and are sure to pack a devastating punch in the attacking third once again this fall as they return 32 goals and 101 points from a team that finished the 2008 season ranked No. 2 in the SEC in both categories. That includes the return of the reigning SEC Offensive Player of the Year as Malorie Rutledge looks to lead the Tigers once again during her senior season after earning consensus All-America honors a year ago. Rutledge led the Tigers’ offensive explosion in 2008 by finishing the season with nine goals and a school record 18 assists for 36 points. In fact, her 18 assists ranks No. 2 all-time in the SEC for a single season. Rutledge also earned her second career first-team All-SEC honor with her performance. Rutledge will be joined by fellow All-SEC midfielder Melissa Clarke and allregion team forward Rachel Yepez to form a potent attack with the ability to lead the way once again this fall. Clarke is a two-time second-team All-SEC performer during her collegiate career, while Yepez is a two-time All-Central Region performer in her own right. “We take great pride in our ability to play an attacking style of soccer that is able to put a tremendous amount of pressure on opposing defenses. We look for more of the same in our attack this fall,” Lee said. “It’s been a great advantage to have someone like Malorie Rutledge leading the way, but we also have a number of other players with the ability to earn all-conference honors at the end of the season. That’s true up top and in the midfield.”

The Tigers also have the potential to compete with a dominating defense this fall as they return an All-American in goal along with three starters across the back line that formed the No. 1 defensive unit in the SEC a year ago. Sophomore Mo Isom earned Freshman All-America honors in 2008 after finishing the season with a league-leading and school-record 0.82 goals against average to go along with seven shutouts in 20 starts. Isom, who played every minute in goal for the Tigers during her freshman season, continued to develop over the summer as one of the top goalkeepers in the country as she was invited to train with the Under-23 U.S. Women’s National Team in June. LSU will be led by a trio of seniors along the back line as Nikki Bush, Katherine Lagow and Chelsea Potts return a wealth of experience while combining for 161 starts during their collegiate careers. They also welcome the addition of U-20 Canadian National Team standout Allysha Chapman to form perhaps the SEC’s strongest defensive unit again this season. “This could be the best team defensively that we’ve had since we arrived at LSU five years ago,” Lee said. “We have proven leadership along the back line, and we’re very excited to add a player of Chappy’s caliber to the starting lineup. Mo Isom continues to show us why she is one of the top goalkeepers in the country. This group will be the key for us if we hope to compete for our first SEC championship this fall.” The Tigers will prepare for another challenging run through the conference slate with the most difficult non-conference schedule in the history of the program. Defending NCAA champion North Carolina highlights the non-conference slate as it will be the first time that the Tigers will battle the Tar Heels on the soccer pitch. LSU will also square off against the likes of NCAA Tournament veterans Duke and Central Florida before SEC play. In the SEC, the Tigers will take on five teams that earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament a year ago. They welcome the likes of Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee to the LSU Soccer Complex in one of the most exciting SEC home schedules in recent memory, while they must travel to face Auburn and Florida for a pair of challenging matches on the road. “The SEC is as wide open as ever before, and there are a number of teams with the talent and experience to compete for the overall league title this season,” Lee said. “We’ve now had six teams earn the right to compete in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons, which speaks of the parity we see in the league week in and week out. We’re looking forward to another exciting race for the conference championship.” There’s no question that the LSU soccer program has firmly established itself among the nation’s elite with its performance over the last two seasons, and the Tigers are ready for more as the 2009 season is sure to be even better. When Lee took over the program in December 2004, he committed himself to “build a program that annually contends for the SEC, qualified for the NCAA College Cup and competes to win a national championship.” The foundation that has been built in four years has certainly given the Tigers that opportunity.

Season Preview Forwards

No front line tandem in the Southeastern Conference scored more goals over the last two years than LSU’s Rachel Yepez and Roslyn Jones as the duo combined for an astounding 38 goals, 21 assists and 97 points in 2007 and 2008. That kind of production is what has powered the Tigers to back-to-back SEC Western Division championships and trips to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons. But with Jones’ departure last fall, the Tigers are left searching for someone to step up and fill the void and join Yepez to form a devastating 1-2 punch up top that is sure to terrorize the opposing defensive back lines once again in 2009. Yepez has proven to be a leader both on and off the field throughout her collegiate career as she enters her senior season with 27 goals and 12 assists for 66 points since

Midfielders

Perhaps the deepest and most talented position on the field for the Tigers will be in the midfield as Consensus All-American Malorie Rutledge returns for her senior season to lead what might be the most dominant midfield unit in the SEC this fall. After earning first-team All-SEC honors following the 2007 season, Rutledge was honored as LSU’s first ever SEC Offensive Player of the Year while earning first-team All-SEC accolades in leading the Tigers to their second-straight SEC West crown. Add that to the fact that Rutledge was named to All-America teams by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, Soccer Buzz and TopDrawerSoccer.com, and it is easy to see why she enters this fall as a legitimate candidate to win the Hermann Trophy. Rutledge enjoyed a record-setting season for the Tigers a year ago as she finished as

Defenders

While the Tigers have devastated opposing teams with an explosive offensive attack in winning back-to-back SEC Western Division championships, the foundation of LSU’s championship run has been built on a stifling defense that finished the 2009 season as the No. 1- ranked unit in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers allowed the fewest goals in the SEC a year ago as opponents were limited to just 17 goals in 20 matches, while they also led the league with a 0.82 goals against average. And Lee expects more of the same this fall as three seniors return from the starting back four to give the Tigers one of the more experienced defensive units in the SEC. In fact, senior standouts Nikki Bush, Katherine Lagow and Chelsea Potts have

putting on the LSU uniform for the first time in 2006. That includes eight goals and six assists for 22 points last fall. Her performance in helping lead the Tigers’ offensive attack was enough to earn Yepez a Soccer Buzz Third-Team All-Central Region selection following the season. Yepez’s career at LSU has come full circle as she will surely go down among the all-time greats to ever wear the purple and gold. In addition to her selection to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and SEC Community Service Team in 2008, Yepez was selected as a TopDrawerSoccer.com Honorable Mention All-American and an All-Central Region performer in 2007. “Rachel certainly embodies everything that we look for in a student-athlete,” Lee said. “She has shown a tremendous work ethic both on and off the field that has helped her mature and grow both as a player

and as a person. Yep has just improved so much in each of her three years in our program, and we’re looking for another big season from her as she leads our attack up top.” Among those looking to step up and fill the void left by Jones are senior Amanda Carreno and sophomore Kellie Murphy. Both provided the Tigers with much needed depth along the front line and in the midfield a year ago and look to contend for a spot in the starting lineup this fall. Carreno scored three goals and nine points as a junior during the 2008 campaign, while Murphy added three goals and seven points in her rookie season with the Tigers. Depth up top this fall will come from a pool of incoming freshmen that includes the likes of Carlie Banks, Amy Jah, Reyna Lubin, Catherine Luparello, Amy Porter and Cambri Prevost.

SEC leader in assists (18) and points scored (36), while she either scored or assisted the game-winning goal in each of LSU’s seven league wins. Her 18 assists is also a new LSU single-season school record, shattering her own mark of 12 set back in 2007. Joining Rutledge is fellow All-SEC standout Melissa Clarke, who earned a second-team selection for the second time in her career last fall. Clarke is without a doubt one of the most electrifying attackers in all of women’s college soccer with her ability to carve through opponents with precision using her tremendous ball-handling skills. She also took second-team All-Central Region honors from the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz for her performance last fall. The Tigers also feature two more All-SEC caliber athletes in the starting lineup in junior Courtney Alexander and sophomore Taryne Boudreau.

Alexander is eligible to compete for the Tigers this fall after sitting out all of last season following her transfer from Southeast Missouri State, where she was honored as the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year and a first-team AllOVC selection following the 2007 season. Boudreau also rejoins the team this fall after receiving a redshirt in 2008 while competing as part of the Under-20 Canadian National Team at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile. Also looking to crack the playing rotation this fall will be Carreno, Murphy, senior Brittany Lowe and sophomores Nazily Alcoser and Hannah Jobe, as well as incoming freshmen Kelly Gautreaux and Natalie Ieyoub.

combined for a total of 177 appearances with 161 starts during their collegiate careers as they return to lead what might be the most talented back line in the SEC this fall. “We are very excited about the potential of our back line this year,” Lee said. “There’s no doubt that championships are won on the defensive end of the field, and that has certainly been an important part of the success we’ve enjoyed over the last four years. We have never had this kind of experience on our back line in the four years that we’ve been at LSU.” LSU’s defensive effort is only strengthened this season with the addition of UAB transfer Allysha Chapman, who cemented her position as LSU’s starting left back while lining up with the Tigers during the 2009 spring season.

Chapman, a sophomore from Courtice, Ontario, Canada, comes to LSU following a brilliant career as a member of the Under-20 Canadian Women’s National Team in which she had the privilege of representing her country at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. She was honored following her performance at the World Cup by being named one of six finalists for the Canadian Women’s U-20 Player of the Year award. “Chappy is a world-class defender who comes to us with extensive international experience on her side. She is going to be a welcomed addition to our back line and should give us one of the more talented defensive units in the SEC,” Lee said. “She had an outstanding spring season and will be an impact player for us right away on the left side.”

Goalkeepers

For the first time in its history, the LSU soccer team will enter a season with an AllAmerican in goal as sophomore Mo Isom returns to lead the SEC’s top defensive unit this fall. In 2008, Isom played every minute in goal for the Tigers while setting a singleseason school record and ranking No. 2 among all goalkeepers in the SEC with a sparkling 0.82 goals against average. Not only that, but she also pitched seven shutouts to also rank No. 2 among SEC goalkeepers. Isom cemented her place among the premier young goalkeepers in the country as she was named a Soccer Buzz ThirdTeam Freshman All-American and a member of both the Soccer Buzz Central Region All-Freshman Team and SEC AllFreshman Team following the season.

Add that to the fact that she was also a two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Week, and it is easy to see why Isom will provide the heart and soul of LSU’s defensive unit again this fall. “Mo is the leader of our defense,” Lee said. “She might be our most improved player over the past year or so, and that is remarkable considering what kind of freshman season she had with us last fall. I’m very proud of the leadership role that Mo has accepted with our team at such a young age, and that speaks to her maturity level as a student-athlete. We all look forward to her continued development this fall as she takes the next step to being one of the best in the country.” The offseason proved crucial to Isom’s development as one of the top goalkeepers

in all of women’s college soccer as she was invited to train with the Under-23 U.S. Women’s National Team during its annual training camp in June. Freshman Hannah Linzay will provide depth at the goalkeeper position in 2009 as she joins the squad following an outstanding high school career Bolton High School in Cheneyville, La. Linzay comes to LSU as the top goalkeeper recruit in the state of Louisiana for the Class of 2009 after earning first-team all-district and allstate honors in 2008. In fact, she finished her high school career as a three-time alldistrict selection.

The Vision

LEE

LSU is the sleeping giant of college soccer. My vision for LSU is to build a program that annually contends to win the SEC, qualifies for the NCAA College Cup and competes to win a National Championship. The foundation that we’ve built these last four years has given us that opportunity.

The Philosophy I believe in a commitment to excellence from our players, coaches and staff in all facets of the program. We will provide an environment in which our student-athletes can maximize their potential as students, athletes and people.

When Brian Lee took the reigns of the LSU soccer program in December 2004, he envisioned a program with the potential to be a perennial contender for the Southeastern Conference championship and an annual participant in the NCAA Tournament. His bold vision to transform LSU soccer into a nationally-respected program has produced unprecedented results as the Tigers enter the 2009 season as the two-time defending SEC Western Division champions, while earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons. LSU soared to unprecedented heights in 2008 by finishing the season with a team record 14-4-2 overall mark and a No. 14 national ranking in the final Soccer America Top 25 poll of the season, which is the first time that the Tigers have finished the season ranked in the national polls for their outstanding performance. In fact, the Tigers were a staple in the national rankings a year ago as they spent time in the top 25 of all four major polls, while they earned their first ever top 10 ranking at No. 9 in the Soccer America Top 25 released on Sept. 22, 2008. They were ranked among the top 20 teams in the Soccer America poll for the final 11 weeks of the regular season. But it was their performance in conference play that established the Tigers as a true threat in the SEC championship picture. LSU finished runner-up to the Florida Gators in the race for the conference title a year ago, while posting a school record 7-3-1 mark and 22 points in SEC play. Under Lee’s direction, the Tigers have undergone a dramatic transformation and have staked their claim among the SEC elite as their second-place finish in 2008 is a program best. Despite finishing in 12th place in each of the two years prior to Lee’s arrival, LSU has shown steady progress in its ascent to the top of the SEC as the team finished eighth overall in his first season as head coach in 2005 before climbing to fourth on the league table in 2007. On the strength of winning back-to-back SEC West championships in 2007 and 2008, the Tigers have garnered national acclaim while earning the right to compete in the NCAA Tournament in each season. Their thrilling 1-0 overtime victory over Samford in the first round in 2007 was LSU’s first postseason triumph in program history.

Standout midfielder Malorie Rutledge has been at the center of LSU’s turnaround, and the Sharpsburg, Ga., native became the first consensus All-American in program history in 2008 with selections to All-America teams announced by Soccer Buzz, TopDrawerSoccer.com and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Rutledge also proved to be the premier player in the SEC as the league’s 12 head coaches voted her a first-team All-SEC performer for the second year in a row, as well as LSU’s first ever SEC Offensive Player of the Year. Lee has coached seven of his athletes to 14 All-SEC selections in four seasons as Melissa Clarke and Mo Isom joined Rutledge in receiving all-conference honors in 2008. Clarke was named a second-team All-SEC performer for the second time in her career, while Isom received SEC All-Freshman honors following an outstanding rookie season. In fact, Isom became the fourth Tiger all-time to earn Freshman All-America status from Soccer Buzz with a third-team selection. In just four short seasons, Lee and his dedicated coaching staff have built a program with the ability to compete with anyone in women’s college soccer. That was never more evident than in 2007 when the Tigers battled No. 4 Texas to a 2-2 draw and dominated No. 6 Tennessee by a 3-0 margin for their first ever victory against an opponent ranked among the nation’s top 10. This is before finishing the season with a 12-5-7 overall record and a 5-2-4 mark in SEC play. The Tigers have more than proven themselves against elite competition as they have won two matches while drawing three against nationally-ranked opponents since 2007. Lee’s impact has not only been felt with unprecedented results on the field, but also at the box office as record crowds have packed the LSU Soccer Complex week in and week out to see the Tigers in action since his arrival in Baton Rouge. The 2007 season proved to be unlike any other in the history of the LSU Soccer Complex as the Tigers were unbeaten for the first time with a 5-0-3 record while drawing an average of 1,294 fans per match. That number ranked LSU among the top 10 teams in the nation in average attendance for the first time as the team finished the season ranked No. 7 in the NCAA in average paid attendance. The Tigers also set three single-game attendance records while setting the bar with a record crowd of

2009 LSU soccer Media Guide

Head Coach 2,402 for its historic 3-0 victory over No. 6 Tennessee on Oct. 5, 2007. In fact, LSU is 13-1-3 at home over the last two seasons. Winning conference titles and leading a nationally prominent program are nothing new for the native of Cheltenham, England, who led the Furman Lady Paladins to six Southern Conference Championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances during his 11-year tenure after starting the program from scratch in 1994. In 11 seasons, Lee’s teams amassed a 144-80-10 overall record, including an impressive 76-16-3 mark in conference play. The Lady Paladins went undefeated in conference play three times (1999, 2000, 2002) and were just shy of perfection in 2003 after finishing the season with a 10-0-1 record in Southern Conference play. Individually, Lee has coached five athletes to All-America honors and six athletes to Freshman All-America honors in 15 seasons as a head coach. In addition, he has coached four SoCon Players of the Year, five SoCon Freshmen of the Year and one SEC Player of the Year, while guiding his athletes to a total of 66 all-conference selections since his first season as a head coach in 1994. Also a proven recruiter, Lee produced four top 50 recruiting classes in his last five seasons at Furman, including the nation’s 12th-ranked signing class in 2002. That tradition continued with his arrival at LSU as he landed the program’s first ever top 50 recruiting class in the spring of 2005. Lee followed that effort by signing the top-ranked class in the SEC and the seventh-ranked class in the NCAA in 2006, as well as the No. 1 class among SEC West teams for the second-straight season. Lee’s athletes have proven to be just as successful in the classroom as his teams have earned five NSCAA Team Academic Awards. A total of 122 student-athletes were selected to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in his 11 years at Furman, while 37 Tigers have been named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll over the last four years. For his many accomplishments, Lee was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year five times and was named the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 1999, the same year in which he was selected as a finalist for the NSCAA National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to his experience coaching at the collegiate level, Lee served on the staff of the Region III Olympic Development Program Team from 1999-2008, while reaching the rank of assistant coach of the Region III ODP Team in 2006. A successful athlete in his own right, Lee earned four letters with the Furman men’s soccer team from 1989-92 where he was an integral part of three Southern Conference titles and was voted team captain and selected as the team’s Most Valuable Player as a senior. He also led his team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and a berth in the Sweet 16 in 1991. Lee, 38, graduated from Furman in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He and his wife, the former Nancy Repsher of Westboro, Mass., and also a 1993 graduate of Furman, have two children – Aidan, 5, and Abby, 4.

Coach Lee on Hensley: “We certainly would not enjoy the kind of success we do now without the leadership that Debbie brings to this coaching staff. She is an outstanding leader of young women, and she has helped us attract many of the best players in the country to LSU with her tremendous recruiting ability. Her passion for the sport is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever worked with.”

There is no doubt that in order for a program to take the next step and compete for championships year in and year out, it must have an outstanding coaching staff in place to guide the way. In four seasons as a member of Brian Lee’s staff at LSU, Debbie Hensley has more than proven herself as one of the top assistant coaches in the country in leading the Tigers to national prominence as one of the premier programs in the SEC. It is for that reason that Hensley was promoted to the rank of associate head coach before the start of the 2008 campaign as she now enters her fifth season at LSU. Adding Hensley to his staff was an easy decision for Lee when he took the head coaching job in December 2004 as the two coached together at Furman for three years. “We certainly would not enjoy the kind of success we do now without the leadership that Debbie brings to this coaching staff,” Lee said. “She is an outstanding leader of young women, and she has helped us attract many of the best players in the country to LSU with her tremendous recruiting ability. Her passion for the sport is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever worked with.” That passion has certainly paid dividends on the field as Hensley has helped build LSU into the championship program it is today as the Tigers enter the 2009 season as the two-time defending SEC Western Division champions after making back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2007 and 2008. The squad is fresh off a 2008 season in which it earned its highest finish in the final SEC standings in second place with a 14-4-2 overall record and 7-3-1 mark in league play. Hensley has been a driving force in that success as she has established a reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters while attracting many of the nation’s best players to Baton Rouge. She led the way in LSU signing its first ever top 25 recruiting class in 2005 as the Tigers were ranked No. 25 on the recruiting trail that year. Hensley followed that effort by helping sign the first top 10 recruiting class in the history of the LSU soccer program in 2006 as that crop of future stars ranked No. 7 nationally in the recruiting rankings released by Soccer Buzz Magazine. The Class of 2006 will compete as seniors this fall as the Tigers boast a talented roster in search of its first SEC championship in program history. “There’s no doubt that recruiting is the lifeblood of any program at this level, and we are certainly fortunate to have someone like Debbie leading our recruiting efforts,” Lee said. “She is an outstanding evaluator of talent and has the ability to target the players we feel can thrive in our program both on and off the field. That’s been a key in building the foundation we have now.” Hensley compiled a 60-52-9 record in six years at Western Carolina after starting the program from scratch prior to the 1999 season. She led the Catamounts to a 10-9-1 record and a Southern Conference Tournament appearance in her inaugural season and was named the SoCon Coach of the Year in 2001 after guiding the team to the Southern Conference regular season title with a 16-6 overall record and 8-2 league mark. Hensley coached seven players to 11 All-Southern Conference honors in her time at Western Carolina, a total that includes three first-team selections. In addition to her duties as head coach of the program, Hensley also served as the university’s Assistant Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator. Prior to her stint at WCU, Hensley spent three seasons as an assistant coach under Lee at Furman where she recruited eight players who earned all-conference accolades in their careers. Along with her coaching achievements, Hensley garnered recognition during her athletic career as a soccer and softball standout at Georgia Southern where she was a three-time first-team All-SoCon selection and led the conference in scoring as both a junior and a senior. Hensley was selected to play in the Umbro Select College All-Star Classic after being named an NSCAA Regional All-American and All-Region honoree in 1995, and she was named the Georgia Female College Athlete of the Year by the Georgia Hall of Fame the same year. The two-sport standout was also a first-team all-conference selection in softball as she set the Georgia Southern career record for stolen bases and runs scored. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from Georgia Southern in 1996 and a master’s degree in health and exercise science from Furman in 1998.

The Tigers take great pride in their tenacity on the defensive end of the field as they line up with one of the SEC’s top units each fall, and assistant coach Daniel Brizard has helped build that reputation as he enters his fifth season coaching the team’s goalkeepers. That was never more evident than in 2008 when the Tigers defended their SEC Western Division crown and earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. LSU finished the season with a school record 14-42 overall record and 7-3-1 mark in league play thanks in large part to the No. 1 defensive unit in the SEC with a 0.82 goals against average. Brizard’s star pupil, goalkeeper Mo Isom, was the driving force behind Daniel and Julie Brizard with daughter, Izabella. LSU’s defensive dominance in 2008 as she became the first goalkeeper in program history to earn All-America honors with a Third-Team Freshman All-America selection by Soccer Buzz. Not only that, but Isom was named to both the SEC All-Freshman Team and Central Region All-Freshman Team following the season. Isom enjoyed a record-breaking freshman season under Brizard’s guidance as she rewrote the LSU record books and established herself as one of the nation’s premier young goalkeepers. In her first season in Baton Rouge, Isom set school records in wins (14) and goals against average (0.82), while her seven shutouts on the year ranks No. 2 all-time at LSU for a single season. Her performance comes just one season after Brizard coached former Tiger standout Valerie Vogler to a career year in 2007 to help lead the team to its first ever SEC West crown and a berth into the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Vogler set the current LSU school record for shutouts in a season with nine, while having career bests with 96 saves and a sparkling 1.02 goals against average. “We are very pleased with the job Daniel has done with the development of our goalkeepers during his time here at LSU,” said LSU head coach Brian Lee. “I don’t think there is any question that in order for us to have a championship caliber program, we must have a defense that is consistently ranked among the elite units in the SEC. Daniel has certainly played a big role in reputation we now have as one of the best defensive teams in the league.” Widely considered one of the top goalkeeper coaches in all of women’s college soccer, Brizard has also served as the goalkeeper coach of the Region III Olympic Development Program Team during his career, as well as a member of the Region III ODP coaching staff for nine years. He is currently a member of the coaching staff of the Region II ODP Team. Prior to his stint at LSU, Brizard spent four seasons as an assistant to head coach Everton Edwards at Florida International University. He also spent two seasons at South Alabama and two seasons at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, while also serving as coach of the girl’s soccer team at Parkway West High School in St. Louis. Brizard’s instructional background is extensive as he is a former goalkeeping instructor for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and has received an NSCAA advanced national diploma. In addition, he has received the United States Soccer Federation “A” Coaching license as well as a USSF Goalkeeping license. Prior to the start of his coaching career, Brizard was a four-year starter and team captain on the men’s soccer team at Berry College in Rome, Ga., from 1991-95. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sports performance/exercise science from Berry in 1995 and spent two years in the Navy before beginning his coaching career in 1997. Brizard is married to the former Julie Schneider of St. Louis. They are the proud parents of 2-year-old Izabella Corinne, who was born on Aug. 4, 2007.

Melissa Clarke in LSU’s NCAA First Round match against Washington

Tigers Earn Second-Straight NCAA Tournament Berth

In four years under head coach Brian Lee, the Tigers have catapulted themselves into the national elite with back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament. LSU earned an at-large bid into the postseason for the second-straight season in 2008 where they fell in the first round to 24th-ranked Washington at the four-team regional in College Station, Texas. The Huskies won a 3-2 decision in overtime in the first ever meeting between the two schools on the soccer pitch. The Tigers, who entered the NCAA Tournament with a No. 14 national ranking in the Soccer America Top 25, finished the season with an impressive 14-4-2 overall record en route to setting a new school record winning percentage of .750. This comes on the heels of a 2007 season in which LSU advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in its first ever postseason appearance.

Clarke’s Effort Helps Tigers Clinch SEC West Crown

For the second year in a row, LSU defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks to clinch the SEC Western Division championship as the Tigers solidified their dominance in the division with a 3-1 win at the LSU Soccer Complex on Oct. 31 of last season. On her Senior Night, Roslyn Jones gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead less than two minutes into the game, while junior All-SEC midfielder Melissa Clarke scored a pair of goals just 38 seconds apart in the second half to lead LSU to the division clinching victory. Clarke pushed the LSU lead to 2-0 with her first goal of the night at the 58:39 mark, while she followed with her second goal at 59:17. It marks the fastest that one player has scored two goals in a game in the history of the program. LSU won its first ever SEC West crown with a thrilling 1-0 overtime win over Arkansas in Fayetteville to wrap up the regular season in 2007.

Tigers Soar to New Heights in SEC Standings

Not only did the Tigers finish the 2008 season with their best overall record in a single season at 14-4-2, but they also earned their highest finish in the SEC standings in team history with a school record 7-3-1 mark and 22 points in league play. LSU was fueled by a school record six-game SEC unbeaten streak that included wins over Georgia (2-1) on Oct. 5, Auburn (2-1 OT) on Oct. 10, Alabama (7-0) on Oct. 12, Vanderbilt (1-0) on Oct. 17 and Kentucky (2-1) on Oct. 19, as well as a 0-0 draw with South Carolina on Oct. 23. Its No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament improved upon its previous best finish at No. 4 to end the 2007 season. The Tigers followed by advancing to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament after defeating Ole Miss by a 2-1 margin in the opening round.

Tigers Earn First Ever Top 10 National Ranking

regular season ranking released on Nov. 10. The Tigers climbed as high as No. 15 in the Soccer Buzz Top 30, No. 17 in the Soccer Times Top 25 and No. 24 in the NSCAA Top 25 in 2008.

Rutledge is LSU’s First NSCAA All-American

In just three short seasons, LSU midfielder Malorie Rutledge has quickly developed into one of the premier attacking players in all of women’s college soccer. The native of Sharpsburg, Ga., displayed her potential in 2007 when she was named a TopDrawerSoccer.com Honorable Mention All-American while earning her first career firstteam All-SEC selection. She took her game to another level in 2008 as she became the first Tiger to receive All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America with a selection to the NSCAA/adidas All-America Third-Team released Dec. 6, 2008. In addition, she was an All-America selection by TopDrawerSoccer.com (second team) and Soccer Buzz (third team).

Rutledge Named SEC Offensive Player of the Year

If there was ever any doubt that Rutledge was the premier player in the Southeastern Conference in 2008, those doubts were put to rest with the release of the SEC postseason awards as selected by the league’s 12 head coaches. Rutledge, who finished the season as the league’s leading point scorer with seven goals and 10 assists for 24 points in 11 conference matches, became the first LSU Tiger to be named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year in addition to receiving her second-straight first-team All-SEC honor as one of the league’s elite midfielders. Rutledge also earned first-team all-conference recognition following the 2007 season after being named one of the members of the SEC All-Freshman Team during her rookie season in 2006.

After wrapping up its non-conference schedule with a perfect 6-0 record following a crushing 4-0 shutout of Oklahoma in Norman on Sept. 19, LSU ascended into the top 10 of the national rankings for the first time in program history with a spot at No. 9 in the Soccer America Top 25 released Sept. 22. The Tigers were a staple in the national rankings during the 2008 season as they spent time in the top 25 of all four major polls. In fact, the Tigers remained in the top 20 of the Soccer America poll for 11-straight weeks to end the season, entering the NCAA Tournament ranked No. 14 in the final

2009 LSU soccer Media Guide

Season Review Rutledge Continues Her Assault on Record Books

With her performance a year ago, Rutledge showed just why she is one of the more feared attacking players in the college game, finishing the season as the team’s leading scorer with a career high nine goals and 18 assists for 36 points while earning the start in all 20 matches for the Tigers in 2008. By recording 18 assists, Rutledge shattered her own single-season school record of 12 set in 2007 and moved into the No. 2 spot on the SEC’s all-time list for assists in a single season. Not only that, but she set LSU’s all-time career record for assists with 34, eclipsing the mark of 22 set by Rachel Cohen from 2000-03. Her 34 assists in three seasons now ranks No. 7 on the SEC’s all-time list. If Rutledge duplicates her assist total from 2008 during her senior season, she will overtake Florida great Abby Wambach for the all-time lead in the SEC. Wambach recorded 50 assists during her collegiate career from 1998-2001.

Clarke, Isom Earn All-Conference Honors for 2008

Rutledge was not the only Tiger to be honored by the SEC for her performance in 2008 as both midfielder Melissa Clarke and goalkeeper Mo Isom also earned all-conference honors following the regular season. Clarke earned second-team All-SEC honors for the second time in her career after competing at full health for the first time since her true freshman season in 2005. An attacking midfielder from Norcross, Ga., Clarke put her creativity on display throughout the 2008 season as she finished with six goals and six assists for 18 points, including four goals and four assists for 12 points in conference play. Isom was also impressive during her rookie season as she was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after setting a school record with a 0.82 goals against average and racking up seven shutouts in 2008, which also included a 0.88 GAA and three shutouts in SEC play.

Tigers Earn SEC Weekly Awards in 2008

Roslyn Jones

Rutledge and Isom certainly earned their fair share of postseason honors after leading the Tigers to another successful season in 2008, but the duo was also recognized during the season as the SEC released its weekly awards each Tuesday during the regular season. On two separate occasions, Isom swept SEC Freshman and Defensive Player of the Week honors for her play in goal for the Tigers, accomplishing the feat on Sept. 2 and Sept. 22 of last season. Rutledge was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career on Oct. 13, becoming the fifth player in program history to earn such an honor.

LSU Sets Record 18-Game Home Unbeaten Streak

While her teammates captured LSU’s second-straight SEC West crown and earned yet another NCAA Tournament berth, sophomore midfielder Taryne Boudreau elected to take a redshirt while training with the Under-20 Canadian National Team for its appearance in the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile last November. It marked the second time in her career that Boudreau represented her country in the world’s premier U-20 competition after also making the trip to Moscow, Russia, in the summer of 2006. Despite her team’s early exit in group play, Boudreau made the most of her trip to Chile while cracking Canada’s starting lineup in its opener with Japan on Nov. 20. She also made two starts for Canada at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Moscow.

The atmosphere in Tiger Stadium is world-renown for its ability to intimidate opposing teams and give the national champion LSU football team all the motivation it needs to pull out a victory on Saturday nights during the college football season. Just a short drive down Skip Bertman Drive, the LSU Soccer Complex is creating a mystique all its own as one of the toughest places to play in the Southeastern Conference as these Tiger footballers have grown accustomed to winning on their home turf. In fact, the Tigers carried a school record 18-game home unbeaten streak into their match against No. 6 Florida on Oct. 26 of last year as the Gators snapped the streak with a 2-1 win. It marked the first time LSU had dropped a match at the LSU Soccer Complex since a 2-1 defeat to Auburn on Oct. 13, 2006, a streak which included a 14-0-4 record and a 2-0-3 mark against nationally-ranked opponents.

Isom Named National Player of the Week

Yepez Named to SEC Community Service Team

Boudreau Competes in U-20 Women’s World Cup

Isom certainly made a splash in her first season at LSU, and she was recognized by Soccer America early in the 2008 season by being named the publication’s National Player of the Week on Sept. 2. She is only the second Tiger to be named the Soccer America National Player of the Week, joining Michelle Makasini who received the honor on Oct. 9, 2007. After leading LSU to a dominating 4-1 home victory over 18th-ranked BYU on Aug. 25 while becoming the first LSU goalkeeper to score a goal in a match, Isom earned the MVP honor at the inaugural Lakeside Invitational as the Tigers shutout host Northwestern by a score of 2-0 on Aug. 30 and edged Loyola-Chicago by a 2-1 margin on Sept. 1.

LSU Soccer Makes ESPN SportsCenter Debut

Not only was Isom recognized by the soccer community for her performance in LSU’s 4-1 win over BYU on Aug. 25, but she also received worldwide attention as her goal on a 90-yard free kick in the 53rd minute was broadcast into homes across the globe as part of the “Top 10 Plays” segment of ESPN’s SportsCenter the following evening. Isom’s electrifying goal cracked the top-five plays of the day at No. 3 on the countdown originally shown during the midnight broadcast on Aug. 26. Not only that, but Isom was also featured in the “Faces in the Crowd” section of the Sept. 15 issue of Sports Illustrated. Each week, the publication features six high school and college athletes from across the country boasting extraordinary accomplishments in their respective sports.

LSU

For displaying outstanding leadership in the community, Rachel Yepez was named one of 11 members of the 2008 Southeastern Conference Soccer Community Service Team, which included a representative from each program except Alabama. She was named to the SEC Community Service Team for the first time in her career when it was announced on Nov. 10, 2008. A native of Fayetteville, N.C., Yepez served on LSU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, while also participating in a number of community service projects in Baton Rouge. Among the projects in which Yepez has participated include Operation Take Back: Fight Against Crime in Baton Rouge, the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Strides and Rides event to help raise money in the fight against the disease and the United Way’s Day of Caring where she was a volunteer at a BREC dance party for senior citizens.

Jones Receives Second Academic All-District Honor

For the second year in a row, Roslyn Jones was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team, but this time it was as a first-team selection as the team was announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Oct. 30, 2008. The senior captain from Mandeville earned first-team honors in District VI after receiving a third-team selection from CoSIDA in 2007. Jones compiled a 3.6 cumulative grade-point average since joining the LSU soccer program in 2005 and graduated with a degree in kinesiology with a concentration in human movement. For her outstanding performance in the classroom, Jones was also named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll four times during her collegiate career.
