SEASON OUTLOOK

1996 IMDY TIGER VOLLEYBALL

With a core of five returning players from last year, five talented newcomers, and an upand-coming first-year head coach. The University of Memphis Lady Tiger volleyball team is primed and ready to return to the NCAA Tournament, after a 1995 season filled with injuries and heartbreaking losses.

V list one year removed from the NCAA Tournament, the 1996 Lady Tiger volleyball team is eager to return to the "Big Dance." New head coach Carrie Yerty takes over a Lady Tiger team that returns five key players from last year's squad. Heather Fletcher is the lone senior on this year's Lady Tiger team, but the Richardson, Tex. native will have plenty of talent surrounding her. Fletcher returns to the Lady Tiger lineup healthy after battling injuries much of last season. Despite the injuries, Fletcher still posted some impressive numbers. In just 18 matches Fletcher tallied 167 kills while hitting .126. Fletcher also compiled 109 digs and 19 service aces. Depite her limited playing time, MEMPHIS

VOLLEYBALL

Fletcher finished third on the team in total blocks. Another Lady Tiger who returns after an injury-plagued '95 season is junior Shoni Hodges. Hodges was voted the team's Best All-Around Player a year ago, despite having to play through some painful shoulder injuries, limiting her hitting on the front line. But with Hodges healthy this year, she will be a focal point on the 1996 Lady Tiger team. Hodges' versatility was evident last year, as she moved to the setter position and performed admirably for the Lady Tigers. Hodges recorded 426 assists, as well as 167 kills. Hodges hopes this year she will be able to return to the outside where she proved to be a force her freshman season. Junior outside hitter BeckyTigert returns to the Memphis lineup after a coming out party in 1995. Tigert, voted the team's Most Improved Player after last season, demonstrated great hitting skills and was a force at the net for the Lady Tigers. Tigert was second on the Lady Tiger squad with 177 kills, while recording a 130 hitting percentage. Tigert will be counted on heavily again this year to provide some firepower at the net. Junior Liz Mullen and sophomoreTara Pfeffer return after impressive first seasons with the Lady Tigers in 1995.

Mullen, from Mesa, Ariz., was voted the team's Newcomer of the Year and is a powerful outside hitter, while Pfeffer's jumping ability makes her dangerous from the outside as well. Mullen and Pfeffer were steady all season. Mullen finished the 1995 campaign with 106 kills, while Pfeffer added 97. Mullen was one of the Lady Tigers' serve specialists, finishing the season with 31 service aces, second on the team only to Shoni Hodges. With five returning players in place, the Lady Tigers feel confident about the 1996 season, but add a strong freshman class, which has been labeled as one of the strongest in the program's history, and this could be a break through season for the Lady Tigers. Junior outside hitter Jamie Rupp heads the talented group of newcomers to this year's squad. Rupp, a transfer from Brescia College in Owensboro, Kentucky, compiled several honors while at Brescia College. She was voted to the Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference First-Team while recording 383 kills and a .374 hitting percentage. She also proved to be a force at the net with 169 total blocks. Middle hitters Nicole Cleveland and Rosie Glenn join the Lady Tigers for their freshman season,as they will try to pick up the slack left by the departure of AllConference performer Monique Swaby. Cleveland will be the Lady Tigers' tallest player at 6-2.The Elkhorn, NE native joins the Lady Tigers after a stellar career at Marian High School in Omaha, Neb. where she lettered four years in volleyball, as well as track and basketball. Glenn brings some impressive credentials to the Lady Tigers after an impressive career at Liverpool High School in Liverpool, NY. Glenn recorded 234 kills, 17 block solos and 31 aces last season for LHS, while earning All-State honors. With the loss of Janice Neyens to graduation, the Lady Tigers have reloaded at the setter position. Freshmen Amy Vaughn and Lacey Morse will be immediate impact players for Memphis, as they are set to share time at the setter position. Vaughn is a 5-6, Herscher, III., native who was named the National Volleyball Player of the Year for her play during her senior season. MEMPHIS

Morse, a native of Spring,Texas, is a taller player who brings various styles to the Lady Tiger team. At 5-10, Morse is a big hitter, as well as a big setter, and can be used in several different situations. Morse and Vaughn are expected to make a good combination at the setter position. With all of the talent on this year's squad, first-year head coach CarrieYerty is looking forward to her inaugural season. Yerty comes to the Lady Tiger program after a one-year stint as an assistant coach at Arizona. While at Arizona, Yerty worked as the Wildcats' recruiting coordinator and worked with the middle hitters. Prior to her stint at Arizona, Yerty was recruiting coordinator and assistant coach at Eastern Washington for three seasons. Yerty, the former Carrie Couturier, was a standout at Washington State during her playing days, earning several Pac-10 honors during her four seasons. Yerty and the Lady Tigers will hope to continue the success that she has had as a player, and as a coach and make her first season a memorable and successful one.

The former Arizona assistant was named to the Lady Tiger post on July 15 as she fills the vacancy left when former head coach Penny Lucas-White accepted the head coaching position at the Air Force Academy. Yerty, a Boring, Ore. native, served as the recruiting coordinator and worked with middle blockers during her one season at Arizona. Prior to her duties at Arizona, Yerty spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Washington where she was the recruiting coordinator and worked with EWU's middle blockers. The former Carrie Couturier, Yerty was a four-year standout from her middle blocker position during her collegiate days at Washington State. She was named to the Pac-10 All-Freshman squad after the 1988 season when she set a school record with 69 solo blocks. Yerty once again earned AII-Pac-10 honors following her senior season in 1991. She led the Cougars to a 23-12 record, and a fourth place finish in the Pac-10.The fourth-place finish was the highest finish in school history. Her honors did not end with the Pac-10, as she was named an honorable mention All-American and an All-West Regional performer. She also earned AII-Pac-10 Academic honors after her senior season and was invited to play on the U.S. Olympic Developmental Team in San Diego in 1992. Several of her achievements are still tops in the Washington State record book as well as the Pac-10. Yerty ranks first in several career categories including; kills (1,548), solo blocks (196), and block assists (421).Those totals also appear in the Pac-10's record books. Her success in volleyball began early, as she was named to the Reebok All-American team coming out of high school, and was named Oregon's Female Athlete of the year in 1988.

1996 LADY TIGER VOLLEYBALL

Despite early season turmoil and a season-long fight with injuries, the 1995 Lady Tigers scratched and clawed their way to a 13-20 record. r he 1995 season was a series of ups and downs, but through it all the Lady Tigers never quit battling. Senior Monique Swaby led the way for Memphis last season. Swaby had one of the best seasons in Lady Tiger history, as she etched her name throughout the University of Memphis record books. Swaby led the Lady Tigers in nearly every statistical category, as she was truly the heart and soul of the Lady Tiger team. For her efforts during the 1995 season, the former Conference MVP earned first team All-Conference USA honors for the Lady Tigers. For her career, Swaby became the all-time kills leader in LadyTiger history, as she compiled 1,819 kills from 19921995. Swaby finished with 475 more kills than former leader Peggy Rule (1,344).

Swaby also ranks first on the career charts in total attempts with 4,436. Swaby ranks third all-time in kill percentage (.236) and block assists (317), while she is fifth on the career charts in digs (1,182) and block solos (122). Swaby was not the only nice story of 1995. Shoni Hodges played through a painful shoulder injury that was supposed to keep her out of action for all of 1995.The injury limited her hitting skills, but Hodges, who was voted the BestAll-Around Player on the Lady Tiger team, moved to setter and was a key player in the team's success. Becky Tigert had somewhat of a coming out party last season, as the Germantown, Tenn., native finished the season with 177 kills, second on the team, while compiling a .130 hitting percentage. Tigert's outstanding play during the

VOLLEYBALL

1995 season earned her the team's Most Improved Player award at the end of the year. Janice Neyens finished up her career on a high note, as she led the Lady Tigers with 703 assists on the season, a total that ranked ninth all-time for a single season in LadyTiger history. Heather Fletcher, like Hodges, had to play through an injury-plagued season, but still managed to put up some pretty impressive numbers. In just 18 matches Fletcher recorded 36 kills, 19 aces and 56 total blocks. Her 56 block total was second on the team. Two LadyTiger newcomers showed plenty of promise during the 1995 season. Liz Mullen andTara Pfefferwere pivotal players throughout the year for the Lady Tigers. Mullen a transfer from Mississippi College was named the Lady Tigers Newcomer of the Year, while Pfeffer finished fourth on the team with 151 kills.

1996

USA Conference USA (C-USA), one of the nation's newest intercollegiate athletic conference, has blasted off to a great start in its inaugural season of competition. C-USA consists of 12 universities and spans 12 states across the United States, more than any other Division 1-A conference. Conference USA is comprised of UAB, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, UNC Charlotte, Saint Louis, South Florida, Southern Mississippi andTulane. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston will join competition this fall. The new conference will hope to capitalize on the recent success of several of the league members. Conference USA teams have made numerous top 25 finishes and have appeared in three bowl games in the last five seasons. With member institutions attempting to build a solid foundation for Conference USA, each of the schools brings a strong football tradition to C-USA. Legendary individuals like Memphis' Isaac Bruce (Rams), Keith Butler (Seahawks) and Tim Harris (49ers), Houston's Heisman trophy winner Andre Ware, Southern Miss' Brett Favre and Louisville's Johnny Unitas give the conference a great football history to build upon, while other league notables, such as current NBA stars Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway (Memphis), Hakeem Olajuwon (Houston), Clyde Drexler (Houston), and major league baseball's Doug Drabek (Houston), Charlie Lea (Memphis) and Jim LaFountain (Louisville) bring tradition to C-USA basketball and Olympic sports. The conference officially unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24,1995 at Harry Caray's Restaurant in Chicago. Michael L. Slive was named the first commissioner of Conference USA by the presidents of the 12 institutions. Conference USA sponsors 18 sports, including Division 1-A football, which begins play this fall. The league sponsors championship competition in the following men's sports baseball, basketball, cross country, foot-

ball, golf, soccer, tennis and track and :ield (indoor and outdoor). C-USA also will sponsor the following women's sports: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor) and volleyball. Rifle is sponsored as a coed sport. This fall, six member institutions, Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Southern Mississippi and Tulane, will compete for the first Conference USA football championship. Each school will play five conference games, with the regular season champion earning an automatic berth to the St. Jude Liberty Bowl. C-USA also has a five-year football television contract with Liberty Sports, which takes advantage of the fact that 11 of the 12 C-USA television markets rank among the top 50 nationally, and two (Chicago & Houston) are in the ten largest markets. In men's basketball, Conference USA is comprised of three divisions, Red, White and Blue. The 1996 men's basketball season produced six postseason teams (four NCAA and two NIT) and by season's end, C-USA was ranked as the fourth best conference in the nation by the RPl.The conference will embark on its second season of a six-year basketball television agreement with Creative Sports and ESPN. Women's basketball, which also has a three-division format, is coming off a memorable first season, as well. Four CUSA teams earned NCAA Tournament bids, the third highest among Division 1 A conferences. Other Conference USA accomplishments during the inaugural season included member institutions receiving bids to the NCAA Soccer championships, NCAA Volleyball championships, NCAA Golf championships and the NCAA baseball tournament.

Dr. V Lane Raw/ins President Brigham Young, 1963

In his five years as president of The University of Memphis, Dr. V. Lane Rawlins has instituted positive changes in the areas of academics, administration and student affairs at the University. Further, he has gained the support of leaders from business, campus, and community in charting The U of M's path for the future. Under Dr. Rawlins' guidance, the University has put greater emphasis on innovative undergraduate education, on excellence in research and graduate education, on interpersonal communication and understanding, and on improving the internal workings of the University. Task forces that he has appointed have created fresh approaches to diversity, public image, planning and budget-

ing, research and scholarship, enrollment management, technology, and undergraduate education. One of the most important - and certainly the most visible - of Dr. Rawlins' accomplishments has been the completion of the $26 million, 800,000-volume, computer-rich Ned R. McWherter Library. But the president's activities have not been lilmited to the campus. He also represents the University in the community, serving on a number of boards, a few of which include the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Memphis, Goals for Memphis, Memphis Partners and Free the Children. In a widervenue, he was instrumental in the formation of Conference USA, a 12-memberall-sports conference, and served as chair~ man of the Board of Directors in its first year. Before coming to Memphis, Dr. Rawlins was vice chancellor of Academic Affairs for the University of Alabama system. Earlierhe had spent 17 years at Washington State University, rising from an assistant professor of economics to chairman of the economics department to vice provost. The Rigby, Idaho, native earned his Bachelor of Science degree in economics from Brigham Young University in 1963 and his doctorate in economics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1969. He has served in research positions with the Brookings Institution and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and as a consultant to the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

R.C. Johnson Athletic Director Iowa 7965

R.C. Johnson, who has worked for the past 25 years in athletic administration and most recently served as the Athletic Director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29,1995. Johnson replaced Charles Cavagnaro, who resigned in June to accept a similar position at UNLV. "Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of the premier athletic directors in the country," said University of Memphis President Dr. V. Lane Rawlins. "We were seeking an individual with people skills, as well as a deep caring about student-athletes and their futures. "We searched long and hard for someone whom we felt had the talents to fit The University of Memphis and the Memphis community, someone who was well respected in NCAA circles. We checked every resource that was available and feel that we could not have found a more qualified individual with a better record." Upon arrival atThe University of Memphis, Johnson introduced himself to members of the athletic department staff and immediately set out to meet Tiger supporters, community members, athletes and fans. His strong public relations background has placed Johnson in front of numerous local and area civic organizations since his arrival. He additionally has started a campaign to add a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex to the current Athletic Office Building, a new basketball practice facility that will be located adjacent to the HPER Building on Echles Street and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Memphis' south campus. He has conducted several meetings with the Memphis Park Commission to add a greater presence for theTigers in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs will appear in the Liberty Bowl this fall indicating that the stadium is the "home of the Tigers". At Temple, Johnson was responsible

Johnson was also responsible for setting up a three-year radio contract for men's football, basketball and ice hockey. A strong believer in a quality education for student-athletes, Johnson emphasized academic integrity and excellence during his time at Miami University. At the time he departed forTemple, Miami University had 15 student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 student-athletes with a 3.50 or better GPA and 191 student-athletes with a 3.00 GPA or better.

The University of Memphis Tiger athletic family has many places to call home for intercollegiate athletics. In 1970, the University of Memphis Athletic Department officially opened the Kennedy Sportsplex, a 140-acre complex located just south of the main campus. The complex serves as the home of the Tiger football, baseball, soccer and track teams and offers workout facilities for all U of M sports. Since that time, however, the facility has taken on a new name and is now called the Billy J. Murphy Complex. The complex was renamed in honor of former Memphis head football coach and athletic director Billy J. Murphy. The main building at Murphy Complex features a newly renovated 50-yard indoor practice field with an arti-

1996 LADY TIGER VOLLEYBALL

ficial surface. This field is used for workouts when the weather prohibits outdoor practices and is also used by the baseball team for winter workouts. Also housed in the main building is a modern, well-equipped training room, the football equipment room, the football locker room, sauna and steam rooms and film and meeting rooms, as well as locker rooms for the baseball and track teams. Located behind the main building are four outdoor football fields, used for fall and spring practices. The new Billy J. Murphy Weight Training facility opened in January of 1993 and is now in use by all University of Memphis student-athletes. The 10,500 square-foot facility is one of the largest of its kind in the country and features the latest in strength training equipment. The weight room is

Future projects include an elevated teeing area on the south end of the driving range to match the current tee box located on the north end of the facility. Additionally, target greens for chipping and putting and a new irrigation system are also included. The 62,380-seat Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is the site of all the University of Memphis home football games as well as the Liberty Bowl postseason game. The sta-

Located next to the baseball stadium is Murphy Track, an eight-lane, polyurethane tartan surface track used by the University of Memphis track teams for home meets. During the summer of 1991, the University of Memphis hosted the World Police and Fire Games. The track meet featured over 700 athletes from around the world. During the summer of 1992, U of M served as host of

the Tennessee Sports Festival which featured athletes from around the state. Murphy Track was also the host site of the 1992 and 1993 Great Midwest Conference Track and Field Championships. Other features of Murphy Complex include an Olympic indoor pool and golf driving range that is used by the Tiger golf teams. A 5,000 square-foot Novagrass artificial green was installed adjacent to the driving range in August of 1992.

WHY TIGERS? When 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 likeTigers.'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. Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 points while allowing their opponents just 29 points. 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. A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT For approximately 22 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games. The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred football booster group in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992. The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan

SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis' official school colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students. THE LOGO The University of Memphis' official logo has been redesigned by Craig Thompson, of Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up over the center of the "M".
