SEASON PREVIEW
2009 MEMPHIS SOCCER PREVIEW
TIGER SOCCER: YOUNG GUNS YOUTH MOVEMENT Memphis’ future success is contingent on the development of the freshman and sophomore classes of the 2009 squad. While the Tigers expect leadership from a very experienced class of seniors, the core of the team is built on a talented group of underclassmen. Leading the charge heading into the 2009 season will be returning top goal scorer Parker Duncan, along with fellow sophomores Thomas Shannon and Cody McCoy. The Tigers will also look to juniors Rory O’Connor and Ryan Ruble to have good seasons.

Memphis also adds Patrick Kelly and Jordan Johnson (Hendersonville) and Mark Sherrod (Knoxville), along with (H H Un Under-18 n National Team pool member Justin Watson and sixx other newcomers who will look to contribute to the Ti Tigers g in their first years at Memphis.
THE
U.S.
Justin Watson, a forward from Myrtle Beach, S.C., has served as a member of the U.S. Under-18 National Team last season. Watson has had the opportunity to compete for Coach Mike Matkovich’s squad two times over the last year. He was part of the team that played at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, Calif., and also travelled with the team to Portugal in May of 2009. The U.S. Under-18 squad includes a select group of players under the age of 18 picked to represent the United States of America in tournaments held across the world.
TUTORING A GOALIE For the last three years, volunteer goalkeeping coach Remco de Jong has been vital in the development of Memphis goalkeeper Michael Goodlett. In 2009, the Tigers will look to rely heavily on their senior goalkeeper who has put up the program’s fourth-lowest goals-against average in his three-year career for the Tigers. A starter as a freshman, Goodlett took a back seat to Tyler Strom in 2007 but reassumed the starting role last season and showed signs of his potential as a netminder. Look for Goodlett and the other Memphis goalkeepers (Cody Gibson, Jordan Leedle and Frank Petersen) to continue to thrive under the tutelage of de Jong. MICHAEL GOODLETT
PARKER DUNCAN
GOALKEEPERS Goalie Michael Gooddng lett reclaimed the starting keeper spot in 2008 after er backing up Tyler Strom durring the 2007 season. The he Bolton, Miss., native returns ns al for his final season in goal for the Tigers in 2009. Goodlett’s season in 2008 was full of ups-andddowns. The netminder finished his junior campaign gn with 76 saves and a goalssagainst average of 1.30. His is season was highlighted by four shutouts, including two against conference foes Kentucky and South Carolina. His shutout against USC helped the Tigers capture the third seed heading into the Conference USA Championship in Dallas, Texas. Goodlett will also get a push from several other keepers in 2009. The group consists of two redshirt freshmen Cody Gibson and Jordan Leedle, and true freshman Frank Petersen. Gibson, a native of Spring, Texas, had an impressive showing against FC Dallas of MLS during the spring, holding the Hoops scoreless for the first 40 minutes of the contest. R O R Y O’C O N N O R

FORWARDS
MIDFIELDERS The Tigers will have to replace three outgoing seniors in the midfield heading into 2009. Sean Goulding, Jordan Lynn and Tripp Harkins all will be missed as the Tigers prepare for the season. Of the returnees, Cody McCoy, a sophomore from Knoxville, Tenn., saw the most extensive playing time as a midfiedler. McCoy provided a tenacious force in the center of the pitch in his first season for the Tigers. Also joining the fray at midfielder will be Ryan Ruble, who will most likely play wide during the 2009 season. The 2007 C-USA All-Freshman Team member had a solid season as a center fforward last season, scoring two goals and asssisting on three goals. Bradley Jacobs will also look to make an iimpact for Memphis in his second season in tthe Blue and Gray. The sophomore from Brentwood, Tenn., made an impact at the end of the w sseason, tallying two goals and two assists in the final five games of the season. Memphis will look to returnees Elias Groft and Eric Trujillo for added depth. a Adding their talents in 2009 will be freshmen Joey Deloney, J.J. Greer and Hugo Monm dragon. Greer, one of two Memphis-natives on d tthe squad in 2008 (Francisco Diaz is the other), along with Mondragon and Deloney will chala llenge for playing time as a freshman. Adam Thornton, another newcomer will also add T depth in the center of the park. d

Memphis returns a group of four experienced players to the back of the park in 2009. The group is led by senior Rick Alleman, who has started almost every game in his four-year career in the Bluff City.
Head coach Richie Grant has the challenging task of replacing graduated seGOALKEEPERS niors Michael Coburn and Thomas Hyland heading into the 2009 season. Coburn, an All-C-USA first team selection in 2008, was the unquestioned leader of the Returnees: Tigers in 2009. His final season at Memphis was highlighted by a thrilling overtime Michael Goodlett Sr. 18 gp 24 ga 76 svs goal to catapult Memphis past No. 15 SMU for the first Newcomers: time ti e ever in a nationally-televised match.

Leading the charge for the battle of replacing Michael Goodlett returns at keeper for Hyland H and Coburn at center back will be junior Rory Memphis. He will be pushed in fall practice by redshirt freshmen Jordan Leedle and O’Connor O and sophomore Thomas Shannon. O’Connor, Cody Gibson, as well as newcomer Frank a transfer from Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., apPetersen. peared in 12 games for Memphis last season. Shannon was the only Tiger in 2008 to appear in all 19 games. The native of Broken Arrow, Okla., played mostly as a midfi m elder, but occasionally moved to defender in certain circumstances. Shannon will look to take his talents ta permanently to the back of the pitch in 2009. Along with O’Connor and Shannon, the Tigers also return senior Rick Alleman, a staple for the Tigers Tig T over the last three seasons. Alleman hadn’t missed a game at left back for the U of M until the end off tthe season in 2008. Redshirt freshman Chris Porter will also hit the field for the first time this fall for the Tigers. Tige Memphis also adds five true freshman to the fold in 2009 in Francisco Diaz, Andreas Guentner, Jordan Jorrd Johnson, Patrick Kelly and Adam Thornton. Elias Groft will also provide depth at defender.

COACHES In 2008, Grant reached 95 wins, inching closer to becoming Memphis’ leader in wins among head coaches. Chris Bartels (1988-98) currently holds the mark with 110 wins over his eleven seasons at the helm of the Tiger program. In 2008, Grant produced his eighth selection on the All-CUSA first team with Michael Coburn earning the honor after a stellar senior season for the U of M. Coburn also earned NSCAA All-Midwest honors in 2008. Coach Grant was also able to produce his eighth selection to the CUSA All-Freshman team in Parker Duncan, who led the team in goals and points during the 2008 season. Off the soccer field, Grant’s players stayed active in the classroom as they received numerous academic awards, including Robert Sausaman, who was named to the ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-District IV Team for the second time in his career. Sausaman also garnered honors on the NSCAA/Adidas Scholar All-South Region Team for the second time in his career. Grant has been named C-USA Coach of the Year twice in his career and led his 2004 team to a conference title and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993. In four of the last five seasons, Grant’s teams have been in the Top 25 at least once during the season and has been ranked as high as No. 10 nationally. Since his arrival at Memphis in 1999, Grant has failed to reach the .500 mark only three times. Immediately following the 2004 conference championship, proof of the team’s overall strength was solidified in the form of a nationally-ranked offense, Grant’s fourth in seven years. The 2005 Tigers led C-USA and were third in the nation in goals-per-game (2.56) and were second in C-USA in goals (46), assists (43) and points (135). Two forwards from the 2005 squad were drafted by Major League Soccer (MLS) franchises. The 2004 campaign also marked a new era of defensive dominance for Memphis soccer. The defensive unit set school records for goals allowed and
goals-against average (0.70), which was ninth-best in the country. The following season, goalkeeper Tyler Strom led C-USA with a .815 save percentage. The 2006 campaign showed the same kind of promise. The Tigers opened the season with eight wins in their first 10 matches and reached a No. 15 ranking in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll. Prior to his arrival at Memphis, Grant led the Lambuth University soccer program in Jackson, Tenn. In his four years at Lambuth, he led the Eagles to consecutive Mid-South Conference titles and an NAIA Region XI championship while posting a 53-29-2 career record. In his 13 years as a head coach, Grant has amassed 148 wins and a .578 winning percentage. In his 10 years at Memphis, he is 95-77-14. As a player, Grant was a three-time NAIA All-American defender and was twice named the NAIA District V Player of the Year at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vt., where he received his bachelor’s degree in leisure resources and facilities management in 1993. Grant went on to play for the Minnesota Thunder, a semi-pro team that competes in the A-League. After one season with the Thunder, Grant took a coaching position at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania and earned his master’s degree in communication studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95. Grant earned his NSCAA Advanced National Diploma in 1997 and his NSCAA Premier Diploma in 2002. He has spent the last 10 years as a head coach in the Tennessee ODP program and has spent one season at the helm of the Region III ODP Program. Grant is married to Memphis assistant women’s soccer coach Jodi Grant. The couple welcomed the birth of their first son, Hayden, in January of 2009. Grant’s parents, Richie and Annette, live in Dublin, Ireland, and he has four siblings. His youngest brother, Adam, plays soccer at Lambuth.

Nick Glaser begins his third season as a coach with the University of Memphis soccer program and his first as the lead assistant for Richie Grant after graduating from Memphis in 2001. Glaser is responsible for the midfielders. “We are really pleased to move Nick to a full-time capacity,” said head coach Richie Grant. “He has been very loyal and committed to the success of our program. Nick continues to have a huge influence on our recruiting classes. I think we are going to be bringing in some real quality young men over the next few years.” Glaser, a standout on Tiger soccer teams from 1997-2000, rejoined the team prior to 2007 after spending the 2005 and 2006 seasons as an assistant coach for Atlantic 10 conference power University of Dayton. From 2003-04, Glaser served as an assistant at Cumberland University, where he worked with the Bulldog men’s and women’s teams before leaving the NAIA school to join the Flyers. Glaser got a head start on his coaching career by working in the club team ranks. The Hendersonville, Tenn., native served as head coach of the Hendersonville Fever ‘93 team from 2001-04, as well as the Hendersonville Fever ‘91 squad from 2002-03. After graduating from Memphis, Glaser continued his playing career with the Nashville Metros of the A-League and helped the club to the 2001 A-League playoffs, the club’s first postseason appearance since 1998. After one season in Nashville, Glaser spent the 2002 and 2003 A-League seasons with the Cincinnati Riverhawks, leading the club in minutes played in 2003. While at Memphis, Glaser earned Conference USA All-Freshman Team honors. During his first collegiate season he helped the Tigers to a 10-8-2 record by playing in 20 games (18 starts) and recording five goals (including two game winners) and five assists. “As a former player here, Nick knows the expectations of the program as an athlete,” Grant said. “He knows the standards of the conference, and he’s played professionally, so he brings a wealth of experience to our players.” Glaser graduated from Memphis in 2001 after earning a degree in marketing and totaled 35 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 73 games in a Tiger uniform.

to Memphis after serving as a volunteer assistant coach for the Christian Brothers University women’s program the past two seasons. “I really admired Mark as a player (at CBU) and I am excited to be able to add a person with his competitive spirit and winning attitude to our program,” Grant said. “We have given him a lot of responsibility in terms of coaching our defenders. Mark is already well engrained into the soccer community in Memphis. I have had the opportunity to get to know him both as a coach and a friend over the years he has been in Memphis, and I really think he will be an asset to us in recruiting players to the program and promoting Memphis soccer throughout the community.” In his two years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Franklin helped the Lady Bucs to 18 wins, including a third-place finish in the Gulf South Conference in 2008. Last season, he helped lead his defenders at CBU to the third-best goals-against average in the conference. Franklin, a former player at CBU from 2000-03, was an all-conference selection three of his four collegiate seasons and served as a team captain his senior season in 2003. As a freshman, Franklin was a member of the Bucs 2000 Gulf South Conference Championship squad that went on to make the Final 16 at the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Tournament. During his collegiate years, the native of Boksburg, South Africa, also took his talents on the soccer pitch to the Premier Development League as a member of the Memphis Express. During his two seasons with the Express, the squad finished first in the Mid-South Conference in 2002 and second in the conference in 2003. Franklin, known throughout the Memphis soccer community as “Lefty” is the son of Carol and the late Barry Franklin. He has two elder sisters, Lisa and Kirsty, and one younger brother, Ross.
Remco de Jong enters his fifth season with the University of Memphis men’s soccer team as the volunteer goalkeeping coach. De Jong has helped the U of M goalkeepers become some of the best in the league. Under de Jong, former U of M keeper Tyler Strom had the lowest goals-against average in the conference in 2007 with 0.92 and had the third-best save percentage with .791. Strom’s 1.17 career GAA also ranks second all-time at Memphis. “Remco is a product of one of the best programs in the world, so he brings a great deal of expertise to that position,” said Richie Grant. “He’s very committed to improving our young keepers.” De Jong has been responsible for goalkeeper Michael Goodlett’s development during his time at the U of M. As Goodlett enters his final season at Memphis, de Jong will be responsible for helping Goodlett improve his consistency. Goodlett had signs of greatness in 2008, but will be relied on ever more with a new defense in 2009. Coach Grant credits de Jong for helping Goodlett make progress toward becoming one of the top goalkeepers in the C-USA. In addition to Goodlett, de Jong will be working with two redshirt freshman and one true freshman goalkeeper this year. A native of Amsterdam, de Jong started playing soccer at Ajax in the Netherlands when he was 10-years-old. As a goalkeeper with Ajax, he played with John van het Schip, Stanly Menzo and Marco van Basten, who coached the Dutch National team to a Round of 16 appearance at the 2006 World Cup. In Holland, de Jong coached the amateur club RKAVIC from 1996-2000. He came to the U.S. in 2001 and began coaching goalkeepers with the West Tennessee Futbol Club Dragons. He is currently in his seventh year with the club that just recently merged with the Tennessee Rush Soccer Club. De Jong’s U-18 team, coached by three-time European Cup champion Johan Cruyff, won the Netherlands National Championship in 1981-82. His Ajax 3 team also won the national championship in 1985-86 and was a regional champion from 1985-88. De Jong is married to Angela de Jong-Angelici, a freelance writer/ producer and karate instructor in Bartlett. The couple has two children: a daughter, Alyssa, and a son, Luca.

Breaking Down The Senior Class
SENIORS
Michael
Memphis enters the 2009 season with a group of three seniors, all of which will have played four seasons with the University of Memphis when they play their final match of their careers later this fall. When the trio of Rick Alleman, Brian Farrell and Michael Goodlett arrived at the University of Memphis in the Fall of 2006 they were joining a program that only two years prior had captured the Conference USA Championship and were poised to build on the success laid by past classes at the University of Memphis. Since their arrival, the Tigers have produced two 10-win seasons while playing against a schedule that included several ranked foes. Last year, in their junior seasons at Memphis, the threesome was able to be an integral part in the school’s first upset over perennial Conference USA power SMU, who was ranked No. 15 at the time of the Memphis victory. In 2009, the trio of Alleman, Farrell and Goodlett will be vital in the leadership of a very young squad that includes five sophomores and 15 freshman. Goodlett, a native of Bolton, Miss., returns this season as the favorite to claim the starting role in goal for the Tigers. After sitting for much of his sophomore season behind Tyler Strom, Goodlett went back to a starting role last season. The Memphis netminder claimed four shutouts on the season, including two shutouts over Conference USA foes South Carolina and Kentucky. Goodlett, who owns a career 1.41 goals against average in his three years in the Bluff City, will look to keep his spot in the record books as he finishes his career as a Tiger. Alleman, an implant from Spring, Texas, has started nearly every game of his career at Memphis as a defender. Alleman will look to steady the defensive play of a team that is looking to replace First Team All-C-USA selection Michael Coburn and Thomas Hyland in the back of the defense. Farrell, a native of Dublin, Ireland, will become the third member of the Memphis soccer program that is a product of the Colaiste Ide prep program in Ireland to graduate in the last two years joining Hyland and Coburn. The offensive player has scored nine career goals and has six career assists. Last season, the native of the land of Eire battled through injuries but was still able to put up three goals on the season.

emphis soccer has become no stranger to daunting competition and faced it head on during the 2008 season. The Tigers picked up their first
win over a ranked opponent since 2005 after a thrilling comeback put the Tigers past the No. 15 SMU Mustangs in a nationally-televised contest. Despite several ups and downs on the season, Memphis finished in third place in the C-USA Standings. The Memphis men’s soccer program found itself in between several up-and-down moments throughout the 2008 season, but in the end, the Tigers ended the year strong and captured a third-place finish in the Conference USA Standings. “We were really pleased with the position we were able to finish in Conference USA,” said head coach Richie Grant. “It is very important to be among the top four teams in Conference USA, and we were excited to be able to say that we were. Our non-conference record was a major letdown for us and that is something we will look to rectify in 2009.” The Tigers found themselves going against several very strong program’s during the 2008 season. It all began at the Memphis Diadora Tournament at Mike Soccer Complex on Aug. 29 when the U of M opened the season against Bradley, who had earned an NCAA Tournament berth a year earlier. Excited and ready to begin a 2008 season at their home tournament, the Tigers suffered a setback heading into their season-opening game against Bradley, after losing several players to suspensions for off-the-field transgressions. Playing shorthanded, the Tigers fell at the hands of the 21st-ranked Braves, 4-0. After allowing a goal in the first minute of the contest, the Tigers held their ground until the second half when freshman goalkeeper Jordan Leedle allowed a goal in the 45th minute. The score remained at 2-0 until two Bradley goals in the final 10 minutes solidified a win for the squad from Peoria, Ill. The Tigers were able to bounce back with a 4-3 win over the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles in the second game of the Memphis Diadora Tournament. Memphis was led by a strong performance by Thomas Shannon, a freshman from Broken Arrow, Okla., who was celebrating his 18th birthday on that last day of August. Shannon capitalized on two strong corner kicks from fellow Tulsa-metro native Jason Brooks, as the Tigers held on for a third-place finish at the Memphis Diadora Tournament. Following a 1-1 start at the friendly confines of the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, the Tigers embarked on a two-week road trip that would take them to the Northeast (Burlington, Vt.) and back down South to Birmingham, Ala. In the first game of the roadtrip at the
Smith Barney/Nike Soccer Classic on the University of Vermont campus, Memphis stayed strong defensively against New Hampshire for 90 minutes, but the Wildcats scored the game winner in overtime in the 1-0 victory. The Tigers looked to bounce back against host Vermont, but the story of the game against the Catamounts read very similar to the story of the New Hampshire contest. Goalie Michael Goodlett had a shutout going through regulation, but a Jake McFadden goal in overtime ended the game in a 1-0 victory for Vermont. Now boasting a mark of 1-3, the Memphis Tigers headed south for Birmingham, Ala., for the UAB “Soccer For A Cure” Tournament, which pitted them against Western Illinois and an up-and-coming UC-Irvine team, which would end the season as the 10th-best team in the nation. Against the Leathernecks of Western Illinois,
REVIEW the Tigers fell down 1-0 in the 26th minute of the contest and were unable to even up the score, thus falling to the Leathernecks, 1-0. In the second game of the tournament, the Anteaters of UC-Irvine began the game with a secondminute goal. Memphis answered nearly 10 minutes later on a Brian Farrell header off a Thomas Shannon cross from six yards out. UC-Irvine used a 35th-minute goal and a score in the 51st minute to move past Coach Grant’s squad, 3-1 Now 1-5 on the season, the Tigers were in quick need of a change of pace on the season as they opened the Conference USA slate against UCF on Sept. 20. However, the Knights used a Kevan George in the 59th minute to hand the Tigers their fourth 1-0 loss of the campaign. With a 1-6 record, the U of M returned to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex on Sept. 24 for a match with the Missouri State Bears. Ryan Ruble’s 30th-minute header off a cross put the Tigers ahead 1-0 in the match and Farrell’s 55thminute goal solidified the 2-0 victory for the Tigers. With a 2-6 record, Memphis was set for a match-up with conference rival UAB, who the Tigers had become familiar with having seen them in two tournaments

went on to score six goals in Memphis’ final eight games, to finish the season as the Tigers’ leader in goals and total points. The native of Johnson City, Tenn., used his late season impact to earn a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman team, as well as the All-C-USA third team. “Parker has all of the attributes to be a top player, not only in the program but in the league,” Grant said. “As a person, he has all the qualities we want in one of our players. He is a great teammate and a pleasure to coach. It is exciting to be able to have him here for three more seasons.” SCORING IN THE CLASSROOM The Memphis Tigers continued to show a propensity toward success in the classroom, as well as on the soccer pitch. Led by the off-the-field accolades of Memphis senior Robert Sausaman, the Tigers continued a tradition of honors for their work in the classroom. Sausaman was named CoSIDA Academic All-District IV for the second time in his career in 2008. The Memphis defender also earned a spot on the NSCAA/Adidas Scholar All-South Region team along with fellow senior Jordan Lynn. Sausaman also was selected Academic All-Region in 2007. The 2008-09 Tigers finished the year posting the program’s highest GPA ever.

prior to their match. The Blazers got on the scoreboard first with a Kevin Sawchack goal in the fourth minute and built on their lead with a second goal in the second period. It became apparent heading into the Tigers’ first marquee match-up of the year that Coach Grant’s squad was in need of a season-changing performance against No. 15 SMU in a nationally-televised contest on CBS College Sports. Down 1-0 at half, the Tigers’ came out of the locker room eager to score. Tripp Harkins’ header in the box proved to be the game-tying score in the 70th minute. The game went to overtime, where in the third minute, Sean Goulding took a free kick and directed it to the left side of the goal box where senior defender Michael Coburn was in the right place at the right time and headed the ball past SMU goalkeeper Craig Hill. Coburn’s performance earned him the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week honor following his thrilling goal. Coming off the program’s first win against SMU, the Tigers faced a daunting task in the form of No. 3 Creighton on their homefield in downtown Omaha, Neb. Memphis hung in the contest for the majority of the game, but was unable to overcome a 17th-minute goal, amd fell 1-0 to the Bluejays. Memphis continued their road trip in Miami, Fla., where freshman Parker Duncan came up big with two goals solidifying a 2-1 Conference USA victory over Florida International. Now 4-8, the Tigers remained on the road in C-USA against the South Carolina Gamecocks. Goals by Duncanhis third in two games-and Coburn proved to be what the U of M needed in goalkeeper Michael Goodlett’s first shutout of the season. Following the contest, Coburn was honored as the C-USA Defensive Player of the Week, as well as a member of College Soccer News’ Team of the Week. Memphis returned home on Oct. 22, when it came away with a tie against the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars. In the next game, the Tigers were pitted in their second televised game of the season on CBS College Sports against No. 11 Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane, the favorite to win Conference USA, came away with the victory, 5-1. With a record of 5-8-1, the Tigers embarked west on I-40 for a match with the Central Arkansas Bears. Memphis used an offensive explosion, which included Parker Duncan’s fourth and fifth goals of the season. The next match for Memphis marked goodbyes for a senior class that had helped Memphis earn national rankings during three of four of its seasons. Michael Coburn, Sean Goulding, Tripp Harkins, Thomas Hyland, Jordan Lynn and Robert Sausaman all played their final
home game at MRSC against the Marshall Thundering Herd. Memphis fell behind early to Marshall and looked poised for a comeback in the second half after a Bradley Jacobs goal. Memphis was unable to overcome Marshall’s two goals and fell, 2-1. Memphis’ regular season ended with a match against Kentucky. Goodlett was stellar in goal as he posted his fourth shutout of the season. The Memphis netminder was honored as the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week following the tie that helped solidify a No. 3 seed for the Tigers heading into the Conference USA Tournament. After arriving in Dallas, Texas, the U of M was poised to avenge an early-season loss to UCF. Memphis fell behind early on a goal in the second minute and was unable to score to even up the game, ending their season on the campus of SMU with a final record of 6-11-2. C L A S S O F 2 0 0 8 The U of M had to say goodbye to a large senior class following the 2008 season. Michael Coburn, Sean Goulding, Tripp Harkins, Thomas Hyland, Jordan Lynn and Robert Sausaman played huge roles in maintaining the University of Memphis as a top soccer program over their four years in the Bluff City. The group of six helped lead the Tigers to three Top-25 rankings while competing against a top-notch, non-conference and conference schedule. “All six of the lads made large contributions to our success since they arrived in 2004,” Grant said. “It was important to build on our success following our 2004 Conference USA Championship and these six guys were a very large part in us being able to do so. They were a group of guys that were able to do it academically and athletically and will surely be missed.” The seniors brought home several honors in their four year careers including Michael Coburn, who was honored as an All-C-USA first team and second team member in his time as a Tiger. His teammate Sean Goulding brought home an All-C-USA third team nod in 2007. The senior class also boasts three Tommy Smith Award winners (Tripp Harkins, Thomas Hyland and Robert Sausaman). Harkins was also a C-USA All-Freshman team member and was named to the C-USA All-Tournament Team in 2005. Coburn was also named to the All-Tournament Team in 2005.

The Memphis Tigers continued a spring tradition in 2009 with a match-up against FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. The bout with the Hoops marked the sixth year the U of M has competed against an opponent from a professional soccer franchise. The Tigers have matched up against FC Dallas and the Kansas City Wizards of MLS, along with the Atlanta Silverbacks of the United Soccer League the past six seasons. In 2009, the Tigers fell 5-1 to FC Dallas. Despite the margin of victory, Memphis was able to hold the Hoops scoreless for the first 40 minutes of the contest with redshirt freshman Cody Gibson manning the net for Richie Grant’s squad. Playing against MLS competition serves as a good opportunity for the U of M to test their skills against some of the best soccer players in the nation as they prepare for the upcoming fall season.

2009 MEMPHIS SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
ast season, Memphis became only the third school to win back-to-back Conference USA Championships. In 2009, the Lady Tigers will be attempting to become the first team to ever record three-in-a-row. The goals don’t stop there. Coach Brooks Monaghan hopes his 10th season proves to be the one that brings Memphis the program’s first NCAA Tournament win and more after falling to Illinois in excrutiating fashion in last season’s NCAA College Cup first round.

“Our goal is to three-peat and do it again,” Monaghan said. “I think we have the pieces of the puzzle to do that. It won’t be easy. Our conference gets stronger every year, and I can honestly say there are eight teams this year that I think have a chance to win the conference.” The pieces of that puzzle include 23 of 29 letter winners from a season ago, and several players that garnered multiple awards despite their youth a season ago. While the bar has been raised, the Lady Tigers aren’t just happy with being ng the top program in Conference USA. “The first year we got there, I think ink we were satisfied,” Monaghan said. “Last st year we weren’t. Last year we were just a little ttle unfortunate. Over time, our goals have changed. hanged. We want to go further in the NCAAs. I’m a firm believer we’re moving in the right ht direction.”
FORWARDS For most programs, losing the school’s all-time leading goal scorer in Kylie Hayes would be cause for concern. But, the Lady Tigers rs just swing another powerful foot at you. Sophomore Lizzy Somonin led the e Lady Tigers last season with nine goals and 22 points, earning Conference USA Freshman eshman of the Year honors. Joining Simonin will be junior Ashley ey Berra, who added five goals and 14 points for or Mem-
phis a season ago, and Amanda Olszewski, who was one of the Lady Tigers leading scorers in the spring. “Lizzy is amazing,” Monaghan said. “Ashley Berra has a ton of accolades, and Amanda Olszewski had a breakthrough spring.” Simonin garnered All-Conference USA second team honors a season ago, while Berra was the Conference USA Championship Offensive MVP in 2007. 2007 Junior Melissa Smith, who had a big freshman year ye before an ACL injury slowed her down do for more than a year, is finally back to t full strength as well. “The big addition addit for us is Melissa Smith getting g healthy,” Monaghan said. “She had a great spring, sp and we feel like she’s sh finally game fit ag again after her inju jury. We also have three forwards coming in that we have a lot of faith in.” M e a g a n Iffrig, Averi Hallman, and Taylor Tay Isenhower all could see time as freshmen as well. “In the past few years, we’ve scored a lot of g goals, and I look for that to conti continue,” Monaghan said. LIZZY SIMONIN
MIDFIELDERS One of the biggest reasons for the Lady Tigers’ unprecedented success the past two seasons, has been the play and depth of its midfield. Senior leader Emiko Schwab graduated last year, but there is plenty for Memphis’ opponents to lose sleep over. The first is returning C-USA Offensive Player of the Year Vendula Strnadova, whose eight goals were second on the team a season ago. After two seasons, the junior is on pace to break many Memphis offensive career records. “Losing Emiko is a big concern for us, but this spring we showed that we can still be very good there,” Monaghan said. “Vendula is super special.” Senior team am captain Laura ra Laufenberg, who ho is on pace to break the Memmphis record for or matches played, d, is a team leader, r, and sophomore e Lizzy Hildeb-randt is coming off a standout freshman season, scoring three goals en route to making
DEFENDERS For the second consecutive year in 2008, Memphis played defense extremely well, allowing opponents an average of less than one goal per game. Much of the same is expected in 2009. While Kate Murphy will no doubt be missed, few teams in C-USA return a defender as talented as Kelsey Bakker, an All-C-USA second team selection in 2008. In 2007, Bakker was the C-USA Championship Defensive MVP. “Kelsey Bakker is just a rock back there,” Monaghan said. “She’s an unbelievable talent.” Kelsey Robson, who started 20 games as a freshman in 2008, will be e back to help out ut in the backfield. Brittany Hance and Krista Turner, both h of whom started their heir Memphis careers at other positions, will be in their second nd and first seasons on defense, respectiveely, hoping to show w another dimension n to their game. Tara a Telford also returnss to the fray afterr putting up a strong showing during the spring. A large group of freshman defenders should also help out as Bailey Pembroke, Lindsey Bell, Chelsea Jones and Christie Kline all will vie for time. “Talent-for-talent, I think we’re going to be there on defense,” Monaghan said. “I think some of these players are more experienced, and with the addition of the new kids, we shouldn’t miss a beat, at least on paper.”
GOALKEEPERS Only one opponent scored more than two goals in a game against Memphis a season ago. Making that feat more remarkable was that the Lady Tigers’ trio of goalkeepers consisted of one redshirt freshman and two true freshmen. “All three had strong springs and are more experienced than a lot of sophomores,” Monaghan said. “Right now Elise (Kuhar-Pitters) is the starter, but the other two have shown that they can play at this level and really push Elise. We don’t foresee any issues with our goalkeeping.” Now a sophomore, Kuhar-Pitters will enter the season as the starter, and few C-USA teams boast a
ACADEMICS Another thing, in addition to two Conference USA titles, that sets the Lady Tigers apart is their achievements in the classroom. With a 3.576 spring semester GPA, the Lady Tigers set a new team record. Twenty-four of 26 players enrolled in the last two semesters recorded GPAs of 3.0 or above. Thirteen Lady Tigers were named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal List. Memphis women’s soccer was the only team competing in a C-USA-sponsored sport to have double-digit honorees. “That is huge,”Monaghan said. “These kids are student-athletes. School is first. Soccer is second. Social is third. If you don’t live your life that way, you’re not going to make it. These kids are hard-working, and they make my job easy because they’re extremely motivated. They’re special. A 3.5 GPA with close to 30 kids is impressive.”
SCHEDULE The Lady Tigers again look to attack one of the toug toughest schedules of any team in the region. Memphis opens the season Aug. 21 at 2008 NCAA Tournament qualifier LSU. A three-game home stint against Arkansas-Little Rock, Ole Miss and Western Kentucky will follow, before, heading back on the road to face another 2008 NCAA Tournament qualifier in Tennessee. The non-conference slate will end in mid-September with a trip to Alabama and a two-game return to w tthe Mike Rose Soccer Complex to face Saint Louis and yet another 2008 NCAA Tournament team in Evansville. Starting Sept. 25, Memphis will turn its focus to C-USA, and its three-peat attempt when the Lady CTigers head to Southern Miss. Tig “This is becoming such a competitive conference overall,” Monaghan said. “Every team is improving, ove and there are no guaranteed wins. Three years ago that wasn’t the case. Especially now that only six tha team teams will make the Conference USA Tournament, there are going to be at least two or three pretty good ther team teams left at home.” A trip to rival UCF will round out September, before the Lady Tigers return home to host UTEP and Colorado College the first weekend in October. The following weekend, Memphis heads to the state of Texas for matches against Houston and Rice. The Lady Tigers will be back at Mike Rose the following weekend to host SMU and Tulsa. Memphis will close the regular season with road trips, to Marshall and East Carolina, before finishing with the home finale versus UAB. This year’s Conference USA Tournament will begin Nov. 4 in Dallas at SMU. Memphis had good luck in the state of Texas. This is the third straight year the C-USA Tournament will be held in the state. Memphis won the previous two league tournaments in El Paso and Houston. “These kids are hungry for a third one,” Monaghan said. “With this group, all they know is winning. They know what it takes, and that’s a key. It takes a ton of work to win at that level. I believe in this group Another important thing is getting the new kids to buy into our philosophy. We’ve been very fortunate to have freshmen step up the past two years because that is a hard thing to do. There are some players in this group that I expect to step up as well.”

Kuhar-Pitters started 13 games for Memphis a season ago, going 8-4-1, while posting four shutouts. “She’s only a sophomore, but she had a great spring,” Monaghan said. “If she can stay healthy, she can be really special.” Also getting time in front of the net will be Jordan Boyle and Nikki Unland. Boyle played in 10 contests last year with seven starts and three shutouts, while Unland played in two games and recorded a shutout in her only collegiate start.
The U of M returns a deep group of forwards led by C-USA co-Freshman of the Year Lizzy Simonin. Juniors Ashley Berra, Amanda Olszewski, Melissa Smith and Krista Turner also add to the fray.

the C-USA All-Freshman Team. “Lizzy Hildebrandt had a tremendous freshman season and spring,” Monaghan said. “Laura Laufenberg is our team leader and brings things you can’t coach. We also have several players who are strong in that area of the field.” Senior Tori Dalton will add leadership in the middle after starting 10 games last season, and fellow senior Brittany Baldwin also adds a physical presence. Julia Ignacio, who turned heads in her nine contests last year before leaving to play with the Canadian National Team, will be at Memphis for the full season in 2009. At 5 foot 11, Katie Sabet is one of Memphis’ tallest players possessing the ability to be a strong presence in the center of the park. Butler transfer Anna Butzlaff and incoming freshmen Taylor Isenhower and Christie Kline should also add to the depth in the Lady Tigers’ midfielding pool.

2009 MEMPHIS SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
wo years in a row, head coach Brooks Monaghan has taken his University of Memphis women’s soccer team into the C-USA Tournament as the league’s regular season co-champions. At the end of the C-USA Championship the past two years, Monaghan has found himself hoisting the C-USA Championship trophy in the air, and two years in a row, he has found his Lady Tigers in the NCAA Tournament.
40
Despite being eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament both years, Monaghan finds his program on the rise as he has recorded a combined 32-9-3 record over the past two seasons. In Monaghan’s nine seasons as a head coach at the University of Memphis, he has taken the women’s soccer program to new heights and established his Lady Tigers at the top of Conference USA. Going into the 2009 season, Monaghan has a career record of 94-74-11 (.556). After leading the Memphis program to the back-to-back sweeps of the CUSA regular season and tournament crowns and consecutive NCAA College Cub appearances, Monaghan has a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to in 2009. Despite losing three starters, Memphis is ready to build off its success and become the first C-USA school to win three C-USA Championships in a row. The Lady Tigers, led by Monaghan, saw tough non-conference opponents in 2008. Memphis went 4-2-1 against non-conference opponents, posting wins against Arkansas-Little Rock, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Mississippi State. After a tough loss at Colorado College, the Lady Tigers went on a 10 game unbeaten streak, tying for the C-USA regular season championship, winning the C-USA Tournament, reaching the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season. The 2008 season ended with Memphis battling Illinois in the first round of the NCAA College Cup, but the Lady Tigers feel 1-0 in double overtime. Memphis posted a 6-3-1 record at home including the current five game win streak at Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Monaghan has proven himself as the most successful coach in the program’s history as he was named C-USA Coach of the Year in 2007. He posted a school-best 17-4-1 record and a winning percentage of .795 in 2007. Memphis has now posted five-straight years of consecutive winning records. In 2007 the Tigers posted a 9-1-0 record at home, including a seven-game win streak. Enduring a tough out-of-conference schedule, Memphis went 4-1 against the SEC West beating tough competitors like Arkansas and Alabama on the road and Ole Miss and Mississippi State at home. Memphis ended the year battling UNC Greensboro in the first round of the NCAA Championships. “We’re ecstatic to have been a part of the 2007 NCAA Tournament,” Monaghan said. “It’s a terrific outcome of the hard work that we have put forth over the years. It proves that hard work does pay off and shows how far we have come over time.” Monaghan has coached 20 C-USA All-Conference winners, three C-USA Freshman of the Year, two C-USA Tournament Offensive MVP, one C-USA Tournament Defensive MVP, one C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, one C-USA Midfielder of the Year, and one C-USA Newcomer of the Year in his tenure as a head coach at Memphis. After a phenomenal season in 2007, Monaghan received numerous coaching honors. He was honored by Conference USA as the Coach of the
Year and was also named Soccer Buzz’s Central Region Coach of the Year. Monaghan took the reins of the program in 2000 after serving for five years as an assistant coach for his predecessor, Les Szabo. Despite taking over a difficult situation, Monaghan turned the Lady Tiger soccer program into a success. In 2005, Monaghan became the longest tenured women’s soccer coach in school history. Just the program’s second coach, Monaghan surpassed Szabo in 2004 as Memphis’ all-time winningest coach with his 35th career win. The Lady Tiger program has also flourished off the field during Monaghan’s tenure. The women’s soccer team earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) College Team Academic Award for the 2006-07 academic year. Since 2000, the team has never posted a composite grade-point average below 3.0. In the spring of 2008, 24 players finished the semester with a GPA above 3.0, earning C-USA Commissioners Honor Roll accolades. Four players posted a perfect 4.0. Five Lady Tigers were also C-USA Academic Medal winners, posting a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher for the 2007-08 school year. “The most important thing we can do as coaches is try to prepare young people for success later in life,” Monaghan said. “Soccer is important to me, and I want to win. However, the foundation of our program is the studentathlete.” When Monaghan took over the team, he was already familiar with the demands of running a successful college soccer program, having enjoyed tremendous success during his playing career at Memphis. The former goalkeeper still holds school records for single-season shutouts (11) and career shutouts (24). He is third behind former Tiger goalkeeper Sebastian Vecchio in career goals-against average (1.40) and second in single-season goals-against average (0.80). His 298 career saves rank second all-time. He was named first team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992 after helping lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title. In 1993, Monaghan was the Defensive MVP of the league’s championship game, helping the Tigers to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His 38 wins at goalkeeper still stand as the school record. “To be a part of Memphis from so many different angles - first as a player, then as an assistant and now as a head coach - has been wonderful,” Monaghan said. “I grew up here, and I’ve always loved the city and the school. Now I get to be a part of building a winning program at my alma mater, and that’s a dream come true.” A former prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan’s collegiate play helped earn him a spot on the U.S. U-20 National Squad. Monaghan also played professionally, spending two seasons with the New Orleans Gamblers from 1995-96 and one with the Memphis Express in 2002. A Memphis native, Monaghan received a bachelor’s degree in business management from Memphis in 1994. He is single and resides in Collierville.

Jodi Grant is every head coach’s wish. She is an assistant coach whose talent goes beyond any boundaries. Grant has been a part of the women’s soccer program since its inception. Along with head coach Brooks Monaghan, Grant led the 2007 and 2008 Memphis women’s soccer teams to the program’s first two Conference USA Championship titles and its first two NCAA College Cup appearances. “This program would not be where it is without Jodi,” Monaghan said. “I look at her as a co-head coach. Jodi is irreplaceable, and she deserves as much credit as I do for our success.” A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Grant enters her tenth season as a full-time assistant coach with the Lady Tigers in 2009. Prior to that, she served as a graduate assistant coach for one season and as a volunteer assistant coach for a year. Grant has been a great recruiter in Canada, as Memphis has brought in several Canadians over the past few years. Grant first came to the University of Memphis as a player on the inaugural Lady Tiger squad in 1995. In her four seasons in the Blue and Gray, Grant tallied 94 total points, 33 goals and 26 assists, setting records in all three categories. Grant’s records have since been passed by recently-graduated forward Kylie Hayes (2005-08). Grant is also the co-holder of the record for most assists in a game (4) and is second alltime in school history in assists in a season (11) and career (26). A third team All-Conference USA selection as a junior in 1997, Grant was also named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 1995. In addition to helping Monaghan with on-field coaching duties and recruiting, Grant has also played an instrumental part in the Lady Tigers’ success in the classroom. During four out of the last five seasons, Memphis was the recipient of the women’s soccer team academic award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and this spring had 24 out of 26 players finish with a grade-point average above 3.0. Junior defender Kate Murphy was named Memphis’ first female ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2007, with a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA. “Jodi is a great tactician on the field, but she’s just as good in teaching the kids off the field,” Monaghan said. “She is great role model for all of the players and really understands where they are coming from.” Grant earned her undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science from Memphis in 1999 and also earned a master’s degree in student personnel services from the university in 2002. Formerly Jodi Fisher, she married Memphis men’s soccer head coach Richie Grant in May 2006. She gave birth to a son, Hayden, in January of 2009. The Grant family resides in Memphis.

In 2004, Walker started and played three matches for the U.S. National Team, including a 1-0 shutout over Mexico. Prior to returning to the U.S. in 2003, Walker spent six months with Colo Colo in Chile’s First Division. From 1997-2002, Walker broke numerous national records for Universidad Catolica in Chile’s First Division. In 2002, Walker was named Best Goalkeeper of the Chilean Apertura National Championship after Universidad won the National Championship. That year, Walker set a club record going 708 minutes without being scored on, a record just broken in 2008. In 2001, Walker won the Chilean Goalkeeper of the Year. In 1998, on loan from Catolica, Walker played for Club Hauchipato and was named the team’s MVP. Prior to going overseas, Walker played one season with the Dallas Burn of the MLS in 1996, and began his professional career with the Memphis Jackals of the United States Indoor Soccer League.

2009 Spring Review If spring is any indication, the Memphis women’s soccer team should be in for another recordsetting fall season. Memphis took on seven opponents, including several regional powers and a 2008 top-10 Oklahoma State team, and finished 5-0-2, outscoring opponents 22-3 and posting four shutouts. “I thought, with one exception, we had a tremendous spring,” head Coach Brooks Monaghan said. “We had some players really take their games up a notch. Going undefeated is big because I never want us to accept losing. I hope that confidence continues and carries on into the fall.” Memphis opened the spring with a 6-1 win over Arkansas-Little Rock in which Laura Laufenberg scored two goals, and Julia Ignacio, Lizzy Simonin, Ashley Berra, and Lizzy Hildebrandt each added a goal. Nikki Unland and Jordan Boyle split haves in goal. Later that day, Memphis defeated national power Oklahoma State, which finished 2008 ranked no. 13, 1-0. Elise Kuhar-Pitters recorded a shutout in goal, while Simonin scored the lone goal of the contest. The next spring outing saw Memphis tie Vanderbilt 0-0 and defeat Samford 2-1. “I think that weekend was our one hiccup of the spring,” Monaghan said. “That was the one time I didn’t feel like we played to our potential.” After the scoreless tie in soggy conditions against Vanderbilt, Memphis enjoyed goals from Simonin and Melissa Smith, plus an assist from Berra to defeat Samford. Memphis picked its intensity back up with a 4-0 win against Big Ten opponent Iowa. Kuhar-Pitters and Boyle shared the shutout in goal. Two Simonin goals helped the Lady Tigers to a 3-0 halftime lead, while Vendula Strnadova added a second-half goal. Memphis tied Ole Miss 0-0 before ending the spring with a 9-1 win against Arkansas State. Laufenberg assisted Melissa Smith on the first of her three goals to start the scoring before Tori Dalton, Berra, Ignacio, and Strnadova got into the act. Tarah Kerr, coming back from a season-ending injury in 2008, also had a strong showing. “I was pleased with pretty much everyone in the spring,” Monaghan said. “We played everyone equal in the spring, and two kids who didn’t play as much last fall, but really showed us they can contribute were Amanda Olszewski and Tara Telford. I was really proud of them. Again, I just hope we carry this momentum into the fall.”

R.
C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 13 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back league championships in 2007 and 2008. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (19881994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

n 2009, the Memphis Tigers will once again bring an exciting style of soccer to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex (MRSC). It will mark the ninth season that the MRSC has served as the home of Tiger soccer. The state-of-the-art facility sits on 136.17 acres and houses 16 FIFA dimension fields equipped with Bermuda grass, superior playing surface complete with underground drainage, sprinkler systems and lighted playing fields. Accompanying these fields are fully paved walkways, easily accessible parking, restrooms, covered pavilions, picnic and recreation areas and a three-acre lake. It is a definite asset to both the Tiger and Lady Tiger soccer programs. “The facility has helped us in recruiting some of the better players in the region to our program,” said head men’s coach Richie Grant. Participant facilities within the stadium structure include showers and locker rooms, a food court, corporate skybox, full media services, administrative offices and a conference room. “Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone, facilitywise,” said head women’s coach Brooks Monaghan. “There may be some facilities that are similar or close to Mike Rose, but I honestly don’t feel there are any better. As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is first class.” Located in southeast Shelby County, just east of the Memphis city limits, the Mike Rose facility has established itself as one of the premier soccer facilities in the Mid-South. In 2003, the MRSC was the host site for the Ford Conference USA Championship. “We feel like Mike Rose is one of the best college soccer facilities in the country,” Grant said. “The quality of the surface makes for entertaining soccer every night.”

ATHLETIC COMPLEX • The University of Memphis Murphy Athletic Complex is located approximately one mile south of the institution’s main campus and serves as the home and training facility for many of the Tiger athletic teams. • Opened in 1971, the Murphy Complex, the first of its kind in the Southeast, offers the Tiger soccer teams the ability to work outdoors on a full-size soccer practice field behind the complex. If weather conditions are less than favorable, athletic teams have the ability to move indoors to the turf room and workouts can continue. • The Murphy Complex underwent some major changes and renovations in 2003. The renovations were part of a $6 million facelift given to the Murphy Complex, giving Tiger student-athletes a state-of-the-art training facility. • The renovated training room has examination rooms for team doctors, rehabilitation and taping areas and an inground aquatic pool for rehabilitating injuries. • The equipment room was renovated with an additional laundry room to ease the burden of taking care of the equipment needs of the football, track, baseball, softball and soccer teams. • Construction on a new 13,000 square-foot weight room for the Tiger football team will begin this fall. The weight room will be connected to the existing Murphy Athletic Complex on the facility’s east wing.

he University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury, rehabilitation and preventative care. With fully-staffed athletic training rooms located at the Murphy Athletic Complex, the Larry O. Finch Center and the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, Memphis student-athletes can be assured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of the Park Avenue Campus in 2003. The athletic training facility contains an inground aquatic rehabilitation pool, allowing athletic trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/ her own body weight. The athletic training room also contains doctor examination rooms, storage areas and the latest in rehabilitation equipment. The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to the injury care and wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in the care and prevention of injuries. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Tiger student-athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately-owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis student-athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-today rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes. The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for the injuries, but also to assist the student-athletes in preventing injuries from occurring.

ead Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Murphy Athletic Complex. He is aided by graduate assistants Josh Medler, Jake Roy and Jess Langvardt, and volunteer assistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, and men’s and women’s soccer teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the Cleveland Browns’ Brandon McDonald, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Clinton McDonald and the San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Murphy Athletic Complex weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefits women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s golf. Former Marshall strength and conditioning coach Mike Jenkins was hired in June 2008 to assist Stark and oversee the Fieldhouse strength facility. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball. Construction is set to begin this fall on a new 13,000-square-foot weight facility on the back of the Murphy Athletic Complex. The new facility will be used exclusively by the Tiger Football team, and will be furnished with stateof-the-art weight training equipment. Once the addition is complete, Tiger athletic squads will have four fully-equipped weight rooms for meeting their full training potential.
WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS • The current 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. • Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certified specialists, and each studentathlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database. • The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom-line objective. • Coach Mike Stark developed the Iron Tiger program at Memphis, which tests power, speed and strength.

n March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newlyrenovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/ certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index. php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned gradepoint averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of MidAmerica. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.
