Memphis Tiger Soccer

2001 Season Outlook

TIGERS BEEF UP SCHEDULE IN HOPES OF NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH THE UNTOUCHABLES During Ihc 20(X) season, the Tigers improved by leaps and bounds and went on to record a six-game turnaround from the 1999 season, thanks to an offense that finished the year ranked as high as fifth nationally, led by senior strikers Sean Eraser and Lars Thorstensen.

Last season, both Eraser and Thorstensen ranked among the top five in Conference USA in scoring with Eraser leading all scorers with a schoolrecord 41 points and 16 goals. Thorstensen managed to keep pace with the his fellow striker and wasn't far behind with 13 strikes and 34 points on the year which led to a third-team all-conference selection while Eraser took it a step further and was honored as the Tigers lone first-team all-conference representative.

This season, coach Grant welcomes four new forwards to his already potent offensive arsenal and hopes to spice up his attack up front with the infusion of new talent stemming from Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana while also picking up a local player from Memphis. Peter Cummings (Ennis, TX), Reid Greenslade (Horn Lake, MS), David Sommers (Mandeville, LA) and local product Matt Bryant (Memphis, TN/Ridgcway HS) will look to back-up the Tigers starting all-conference duo of Eraser and Thorstensen while also preparing to tackle similar supporting roles for Memphis in the near future.

"Up front, we clearly distinguished ourselves from other squads with our .superior forwards in both Sean and Lars. " said Grant. " That was the best part of our game last season and we feel by adding four quality players in Peter, Reid, Matt and David, if we do have to make changes we won't lose much on top.

Both Sean and Lars played extremely well this summer and if they can pickup where they left-off from last season, they have the potential to become unstoppable."

MEMPHIS CONNECTION The Tiger midfield displayed a true "Memphis" flavor after being led by two local products, in senior midfielder Justin Stralka and sophomore sensation Grant Paule. A second-team all-conference selection in 2000, Stralka left the Reebok South Florida Classic with tournament MVP honors while Paule earned a spot on the all-tournament team.

Memphis also returns starting senior Ken Matsuba junior Kirk Ricketts and sophomore Dusty Brezovsky. Matsuba finished the season with three assists from his outside midfielder position and Ricketts spent last season as one the first substitutes off the bench while Brezovsky began earning quality back-up minutes during the last half of the season. Add true freshman Daniel Dobson (Garland, TX) hailing from the Lone Star state and Sommers who will pull double-duty at both forward and midfielder.and the Tigers appear to have a solid core of supporting midfielders.

"Across the middle, we brought in Daniel and David and with the older players who played there last season in Justin, Kenny, Grant, Kirk and Dusty, it's a great problem for me to have when I'm figuring out playing time, " said Grant. "Justin was a big part of our success last season and he helped us with his outstanding fitness and energy on the field. He played well on both sides of the ball and should only get better this season."

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE Defensively, the Tigers will look to fill the role of departing senior Ryan Schweigert with two incoming freshman, but still remain intact returning three everyday starters in local senior Stephen Lewis, junior Chris Schmidt and freshman phenom Graham Gibbs. Lewis, a 2000 second-team all-conference selection, finished the year with eight points and three goals from his outside defender position and will serve as the Tigers' team captain this season. Schmidt, a native of Clarksville, Tenn., led all defenders with nine points including three assists and like Lewis, played in 18 matches for Memphis. Gibbs displayed an

Memphis Tiger Soccer

uncommon sense of maturity and poise while starting in the back for U of M and finished the year as one of the most dominant defenders in all of CUSA while also collecting his first career assist.

Junior Darren Bevard, who saw action in six contests during the 2000 season, has looked especially promising during the spring and summer training sessions and should challenge for a starting role in the fall. While local incoming products Justin Dyer and Jake German enter the U of M after enjoing stellar playing careers at local powerhouses CBHS and Ridgcway HS where both freshman led their respective programs to state runner-up finishes.

"By bringing back three of our four starters from last years defense in Stephen, Chris and Graham, we are extremely confident in our back line," Grant stated. "Darren played very well in the spring and looked even better this summer, so he should get a chance to start for us. With Justin and Jake we think they can step in immediately off the bench and give us good cover on the flanks. With the experience gained from last season and the fact that they are a little bit older, our starting defense should become that much better this season."

BETWEEN THE POSTS At the goalkeeping position, the Tigers' freshman duo of Clark Talley and Josh Isaacs worked well together last season but it was Talley who earned the starting job before the season was underway.

The native Memphian went on to post four shutouts during his inaugural campaign including two conference victories against the likes of Louisiville and Marquette (both 1-0 decisions), while also earning allfreshman team accolades. Isaacs played in three matches during the 2000 season, turned away three shots and failed to surrender a single goal.

The third addition to the line of Tiger keepers is Kansas City native Jason O'Bryan, who begins his career at the U of M after leading his Blue Valley North HS squad to a No. 15 national ranking and also an appearance in the Missouri state tournament.

"We feel one of our strengths has been goalkeeping and with the addition of Jason, we should be even better," offered Grant. " He is a raw talent but after working with coach Norwood we are seeing vast improvement. We expect a lot from Clark this season. He gained a tremendous amount of experience last year in conference matches and showed great poise. Josh has also played well this summer and hopefully with three quality keepers we should be fine throughout the course of the season."

TIGERS GEAR UP FOR NATIONAL SCENE "We are extremely excited about our schedule and are anxious to play some of these teams because of the higher level of competition, said Grant." "We told the players coming in, that our team was going to play the best and we feel that be adding the No. 2 (Creighton) and No. 3 (SMU) teams in the nation, that we can accurately gauge our talent and also achieve our goal of the making the NCAA tournament. Plus with our conference schedule we face the No. 15 team in Saint Louis and also the NO. 19 squad in UAB. Throw in a early non-conference match with No. 21 Illinois-Chicago d u r i n g our Diadora Memphis Invitational and our schedule looks pretty solid. If we achieve our goal and we're playing well into the postseason, we will d e f i n i t e l y be well prepared and ready to do some damage."

Tigers in the Pro's

Tigers in the Pro's ^^^J uring head coach Richie Grant's two-year tenure at the U of M, three of his former players have progressed towards the next level. Memphis alums, Nick Glaser, Carl Schmitt and Tommy White each signed professional contracts, during the offseason and are looking to impress at the next level.

Glaser officially joined the Nashville Metros in late January. The former Tiger midfielder is now logging minutes as a central midfielder for the Mid-South based-club. At the point of this publication, Glaser had logged over 270 minutes with the Metros.

The Hendersonville, Tenn., native was a four-year member of the Tiger program and finished with career totals of 34 points on 11 goals and 12 assists. Glaser saw action in

wilh34careerpoin(s attheUol iVLincludingulOpoint, dircegoal *eason in 3XIJ.

over 70 matches throughout his career, but it was his freshman season that earned him a permanent spot in the starting lineup. In 1997, he tallied career-highs in points (15), goals (5), assists (5) and shots (21).

Schmitt, another former midfielder at Memphis, also inked a deal with Metros in March of 2001. The lifelong Memphian spent just one season in a Tiger uniform, after transferring from South Alabama following his junior season.

Known for his hard-nosed style of play, Schmitt

Memphis Tiger Soccer

played in every game but one during his stop at Memphis and tallied an assist during a 4-2 win over Centenary.

As a defender/midfielder with the Metros this season, Schmitt had recorded over 400 minutes, while notching his first career point with an assist.

White, a former striker at Memphis, also inked a professional deal after signing with the Milwaukee Wave of the NPSL (indoor league). The former Memphian and Germantown high school alum, left his mark as one of the most physical players to have ever donned a Tiger uniform, who blended speed and strength to give opposing defenders headaches.

White is tied for 10th in career points (50) at the U of M and finished with 18 goals and 14 assists in 73 total matches.

His senior season proved to be his best, as White posted careerhighs in goals (11) and points (27) with the former landing him among the top ten in Conference USA.

Memphis Camps

Memphis Camps hroughout the summer, the men's soccer team keeps busy by sponsoring, coordinating and staffing several camps within the Memphis community.

This past summer was no different as Tiger coaches and players alike, worked steadily throughout the summer months, putting on the 2001 Richie Grant Soccer Camp and then later, staffing Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton's 2001 InnerCity Youth Soccer Camp.

Coach Grunt's camp (in it's second year of existence), took place June 25-29 on the U of M's South Campus and focused on youths, ages 5-14. Tiger coaches Richie Grant, Paul Conway and Troy Norwood helped run the camp while current Tigers Stephen Lewis. Justin Stralka and Lars Thorstensen served as counselors. Former Tigers and current Nashville Metros Nick Glaser and Carl Schmitt, gave the camp an added attraction by making guest appearances throughout the week.

Mayor Herenton's camp (also an annual event) took place a few weeks later in early July, at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex located in Collierville. Tennessee. Instead of running the camp however. Tiger coaches and players instead served as instructors at the camp and worked with over 400 youngsters during the weeklong event. Helping staff the camp were: Tiger assistant Paul Conway and current players. Justin Dyer, Jake German. Reid Greenslade, Stephen Lewis, Jason O'Bryan, Justin Stralka and Clark Talley.

2000 Season Recap

GRANT CAPTURES COACH OF THE YEAR HONORS YOUR WISH IS GRANTED Head coach R i c h i e G r a n t secured Conference USA Coach of the Year honors in just his second season at the U of M, after guiding the Tigers to 14-6-0 mark and a fourth place regular season finish, despite being picked to finish last in preseason polls. Grant now owns the d i s t i n c t i o n of becoming the U of M's first head coach to receive the honor, since the conference's inception back in 1995.

GET FRASER Forward Sean Fraser torched opposing defenses throuhout the season, en route to establishing the new single-season record for points at the U of M with a 41point explosion during his junior campaign. His leagueleading 16 strikes were enough to prompt an all-conference selection (Tigers lone first-team honoree), the first since former Tiger Rogerio Lima secured consecutive honors d u r i n g the 1996-97 seasons.

Fraser's conference-leading scoring mark stands as the second-highest single-season mark in the programs history, while his four-goal performance against Lipscomb tied the school's all-time single-game record which had stood untouched for over 13 seasons.

The Edmonton. Alberta, native went on to make a name for himself on the national stage, finishing the year tied for 8"' in points per game (2.16) and tied for 15"' in goals per game (0.84) in NCAA Division I.

TIGERS ROAR ONTO NATIONAL SCENE W h i l e Memphis clearly distinguished themselves on a regional scale, they also made waves throghout the national scene, as well.

With the offense in high gear, the Tigers ended the season ranked as the fifth-highest scoring unit in the nation and also posted the 27'" highest w i n n i n g percentage in the country. Memphis owned the distinction of becoming the eighth most improved squad in the country, after a six-same turnaround from the 1999 season.

Once the final whistle had blown, the Tiger offense had not only doubled it's 1999 total of 25 goals with 59 strikes in 2000, but also established a new singlegame record for goals with a 10-0 romp over Lipscomb in late October.

The Tigers 14 wins in 2000 tied the school record for the most victories in a season, m a t c h i n g the 1992 squad that finished at an all-time high of 14-3-2.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS Heading into the final two weeks of the regular season, Memphis suffered a minor setback, dropping a heartbreaking double-overtime conference loss to then No. 18 UAB but then rebounded for a crucial league match versus Marqtiette that possessed tournament implications.

A win for the Tigers guaranteed that Memphis would enter the tournament less with no less than a fourth seed, while a loss meant a late season race for the remaining two spots in the conference tournament.

The first half was a defensive battle and featured a total of nine shots, five of which came courtesy of the potent Tiger attack. The second half began just as intense and appeared destined for extra-time until the 56"' minute, when the Tigers dynamic duo of Fraser and third-team all-conference forward Lars Thorstensen struck first blood for Memphis. However, the Tigers solid pressure in the midfield allowed Thorstensen to collect an errant Golden Eagle pass, where he sprinted down the middle and fed a wide-open Fraser with a d e l i g h t f u l through-ball, which froze the defense and eventually found the net. Fraser took over and capitolized with a deft one-on-one finish that beat a sprawling Marquette keeper, for the game's only goal and an exciting 1-0 Memphis victory.

The U of M went on to take three of their last four regular season matches, before entering the tournament as the fourth seed and sporting a 13-5 mark. Memphis then defeated first-round opponent C i n c i n n a t i for the second time that year and advanced to the semi-final round with a 2-1 victory.

HOME COOKIN' CHANGING OF THE GUARD Statistically. Memphis appeared to be a different team, actually doubling their win total (7) from the previous season and spent the majority of the 2000 campaign ranked throughout the Midwest region, finishing as high as fifth at the close of business.

From a technical standpoint, the Tigers were indeed a new team displaying a quick and aggressive style of play. The strategy seemed to work, as the U of M eventually closed out league play with a 5-3 mark (compared with a 2-6 record in 1999) and advanced to the semi-finals of the conference t o u r n a m e n t (after a oneyear absence) before bowing out to eventual champion and No. 14 Saint Louis, 3-2.

A l o n g the way, M e m p h i s put together the programs longest winning-streak in four years, posting five consecutive victories d u r i n g the months of September and October. D u r i n g the streak, the Tigers posted c o n v i c i n g league victories over L o u i s v i l l e and DePaul while also coming out on top during a 3-2 overtime thriller at South Florida and a 5-2 win over Stetson, to capture the Reebok USF Classic crown.

Memphis Tiger Soccer

Homegrown Memphians and fellow juniors Stephen Lewis and Justin Stralka had more than just their hometown in common at the end of the year, after both players honored with second-team all-conference selections.

Lewis and Stralka have an extended playing history together, after having been teammates at every level from club to state/regional ODP squads while also serving as team captains last season. Lewis, a defender, led the Tiger defense with eight points and three goals on the season.

While Stralka, a midfielder, finished with 17 points (5 goals), one game-winner and was chosen MVP of the Reebok South Florida Classic.

LEAVING AN IMPRESSION Starting goalkeeper Clark Talley, was superb in just his first season bewteen the posts for the U of M, as the Memphis native went on to record two conference shutouts over Louisville and Marquette (both 1-0 victories) while also b l a n k i n g non-conference opponent Belmont d u r i n g the season opener. The true freshman was one of only two returning Tigers to have played in every match last season and became the first Memphis keeper to earn a spot on the all-freshman squad, since former Tiger Brian Covey in 1996.

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

Brian Lavoie Graduate Assistant

2001 Media Guide

With no prior head coaching experience, it would suffice to say that first-year coach Brooks Monaghan had his work cut out for him last season. Add to that the fact that the University of Memphis had enjoyed only one winning season in the program's five year existence, some might have even thought he was trying to sabbotage his own young career.

For Monaghan, however, the opportunity to leave his mark on a struggling Memphis Lady Tigers soccer program was a no-brainer. As a lifelong Memphian and a 1994 graduate of the U of M, Monaghan

Head Coach Brooks Monaghan

Head Coach Brooks Monaghan

has found the head coaching position a perfect fit.

In just his first season, Monaghan's squad picked-up four more wins than the season before and missed the Conference USA Championship Tournament by just one game.

With his inaugural season firmly behind him, Monaghan has had a chance to develop a team of his own heading into this season. He has brought in what is considered the finest recruiting class in the program's history and his returning players have adjusted to his coaching style.

The Monaghan File One Season: 9-10-0 Honors and Accolades Member of U-20 U.S. National Team Soccer America National Player of the Week, 11-3-93 GMC Tournament Defensive MVP 1993

First Team all-GMC, 1992 Goals Against Average - 0.80,1992 Shutouts-11,1992 All-Time leader in shutouts (24) and goals against average (1.40) Personal Info 29 years old Born in Memphis, Tennessee 1 st Season at the University of Memphis

"It's hard to turn things around on a short-term basis," said Monaghan. "With new coaches come new ideas, and it's hard for players and coaches to get used to one another."

"This year we've brought in an outstanding group of players who we think will fit the mold of what we're trying to do," Monaghan continued. "We already have a very strong nucleus of upperclassmen and this year should set the standard in developing the future of our program."

Lady Tigers' goals against average dropped from 2.743 in 1995 to 1.89 in 1998.

As a player, Monaghan enjoyed a monster collegiate career. After spending his freshman year at Evansville, Monaghan transferred to the U of M and helped lead the Tigers to a share of the conference championship in 1992 and an outright title in 1993. As the Tiger goalkeeper, Monaghan posted a 0.80 goals against average to go with 11 shutouts and was named First Team All-Great Midwest Conference as a junior. A prep standout at Christian Brother's High School in Memphis, Monaghan's college career earned him a spot on the U-20 national squad.

Monaghan is hoping that the success he enjoyed as a player will continue as a coach. "This is a team that could challenge for a conference title," said Monaghan. "Myself and our entire staff are very excited about what this season holds for us."

Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger head coach, Monaghan served as the primary goalkeeper's coach and was a vital part of the Memphis coaching staff during the program's first four seasons. Under Monaghan's guidance, the

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

Q &c A with Coach Monaghan

'It's going to be an exciting season Q. During your first season at the helm of Lady Tiger soccer, your squad posted the second-highest win total in the program's six-year existence.

Talk a little about how the season unfolded and what overall approach seemed to yield the best results?

A. Overall, I was very happy with the end results of last season. Unfortunately we didn't make the conference tournament but we did put up a good overall record. Still, from a coaching standpoint, you can't be satisfied. We lost some close games that we should have won and we probably got lucky in a few that we actually did win, but we definitely have to credit the players. We took a different approach and tried to take the intensity a little higher but ultimately the players stepped up and did everything we asked. Plus, with a fresh coaching staff and a hungry team, it all paid off for us.

Q. You lost five starting players (four seniors) including the reigning Conference USA Freshman of the Year (Jessica Gjertsen) from last year's squad, while this season you have just five or six starters coming back, three of which are seniors plus 12 incoming freshman. What type of formula will you use to counter those key losses and what type of changes, if any, can we expect from the 2001 Lady Tigers?

A. We did lose some key players from last season, but we feel that this year's crop may very well be one the strongest in the program's history.

We realize however, that while they may look good on paper it remains to be seen how well they will do. Still, we feel that with several of our incoming players possessing a high level of international experience, it will make us better. We wanted to focus our recruiting efforts on our defense and we feel that we have done that. Offensively, we will miss the goals we received from Jessica (Gjertsen) and Candice (Spiniolas) but we think we have some players coming in that can help us regain our form. It's going to be very competitive and with our solid group returning from last season, it should be exciting to watch once the season arrives.

Q. This season's non-conference schedule includes matches against SEC foes Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, while your squad will also travel to take on a Big-12 opponent in Missouri. Considering the fact that TCU has officially entered C-USA this year, it's no secret that this season will serve as an even bigger challenge for your squad. How will you prepare for the long haul and aside from just merely win/losses, what type of overall results will you be looking for?

A. We scheduled these teams to make our season tougher. We felt that by playing these teams it will hopefully make us better. By playing a tough non-conference schedule it makes you that much better prepared for conference play which will, in turn, decide how long we will continue to play this season. No matter where you look on this season's schedule, there aren't any "gimmie"games, because everyone we play will be a challenge. We want to win every game but our long-term goal is to make the conference tournament and with the addition of TCU and East Carolina, there are several teams that can make a run in the tournament. With a little luck on our side, we feel that we can become one of those teams.

Q. From a certain standpoint, the majority of your starting line-up remains intact, yet there are still a few holes to fill, primarily beginning with your defense after losing three out of four starters. How will you balance playing time and aside from the defense, will we see any drastic changes to your line-up?

A. Once everyone has reported, they will all start with a clean slate and will compete for starting jobs. Nothing is set in stone and with our returning nucleus of solid players and our large incoming freshman class, we won't be set on anything until we are all on the same page. Regardless of who played where last season, right from the beginning, the players who are demonstrating the best overall ability will get the playing time, be it freshman or senior.

Q. Talk a little about your three seniors, Michelle Meduri, Jen Thiele and Suzanne Williams. You've obviously been around the program and have witnessed all three of them develop during their careers at the U of M. Shed a little light on what they have meant to the program and what you expect from them during their final season at Memphis?

A. / can't begin to say enough about these three kids. This spring, we sat down with each of them and talked about what they wanted to accomplish during their senior seasons. I think all three of them are looking to end their careers on a high note, they've all been working extremely hard this summer and it should pay off. Individually speaking, Michelle had a brilliant spring season and has been in town for the majority of the summer, working hard and getting ready for the fall. I think her confidence is soaring. Jen Thiele spent a large portion of the season last fall recovering from an ACL injury. She started slow in the beginning but finished strong. This year, she shouldn't have any setbacks. I think she was a little timid about the strength of her knee but once she regained it, she was fine. As long as Jen is confident, she will do wonders for us. Suzanne Williams had a great year last season and has been working very hard this summer. She is going to be one of our most solid players in the back, more or less the anchor of our defense, and she knows this. We've put a lot of pressure on her, but we feel confident that she'll step up and do the job.

Q. On paper you seem to be roughly two-deep at every position, yet there is definitely an abundance of midfielders. Is this an early indication that you will use primarily midfield-oriented formations or will several players be used at more than one position?

A. / don't think that we will necessarily utilize a midfield-oriented attack, simply because we won't know our strengths until we have seen our whole team practice together. Still, we do have several players that we can play at more than one position. Obviously we will try some new things and there may be some returning players that get shifted around a bit to some unfamiliar positions but again, we are going to let the best players get the playing time.

Q. Anja Nielsen and Katarina Wicksell were two freshman who emerged as everyday starters last season, early on. Talk a little about how they developed into the team's overall success, what aided them along the way and what type of roles you will expect them to tackle this year?

A. They were definitely a big part of our team's success last season. They came out a little slow but eventually jumped out in a big way. A big reason for that was that both players seemed to adapt to their new lifestyles and surroundings quicker than usual. When you factor in the new language, weather and teammates it could ha ve gone the other way but both players did a great job adjusting and because of that we went out and recruited some of our new freshmen from Anja and Katarina's home nations, Denmak and Sweden. Both players possess great leadership qualities and should return ready to go after having gained a year of experience under their belts.

Q. Any lasting remarks you'd like to add?

A. We've got very high expectations for this season. We are going to be a young team but a lot of the newer players have tremendous amounts of experience among them. As for our coaching staff, we have a year under our belts so we know what to expect from the players and vice-versa. Now it's up to the returning players to step up and become leaders. We do have some freshmen coming in with international experience and once we can blend that with our returning players talent and knowledge of the game, we should be a/right.

We are expecting our defense to become even stronger this season and we feel that with the talent we've brought in, we can surprise some people with our play. It's going to be an exciting season.

Assistant Coaches/Manager/Trainer

Jodi Fisher

Mike Thomas

Thomas begins his first season as a graduate assistant coach with the Lady Tigers after spending two seasons at Wisconson-Green Bay. There is no part of the University of Memphis women's soccer program that Jodi Fisher is unfamiliar with. Fisher was a forward for the Lady Tigers during the season of the program's inception in 1995 and was named graduate assistant coach in 1999.

After former U of M assistant coach Clinton Browne announced his plans to move to Lambuth University last spring, Fisher was named the full-time Lady Tigers assistant coach by head coach Brooks Monaghan.

Over four seasons in her Memphis career, Fisher compiled school records for goals (33) and points (92). She played in 79 career matches and was named to the C-USA AllFreshman Team in 1995 and third-team all-conference in 1997. She was a two-time C-USA Offensive Player of the Week, once as a freshman and once as a senior.

A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Fisher graduated from Memphis in 1999 and is currently pursuing a masters degree in student personal services.

\ ~ .1

As a player, Thomas was an all-conference performer at his alma mater, Fort Lewis. He has professional playing and coaching experience and has assisted at Christian Brothers.

Thomas holds a USSF "B" coaching license and an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma.

Emma DiCesare Assistant Coach Memphis, 2002 DiCesare enters her first season as a volunteer assistant for the Lady Tigers.

2001 Media Guide

2001 Season Outlook A TEAM ON THE RISE: 2001 Lady Tiger Soccer The polished accolades on the desk and hanging from the walls in Brooks Monaghan's office reflect the success that he constantly demanded from himself and from his teammates during his stellar career as the U of M goalkeeper. As a member of the 1992 Co-Great Midwest Conference champions and a key player in the Tigers' outright conference championship in 1993, Monaghan became familiar with the taste of victory.

In just his second season as the University of Memphis women's soccer coach, Monaghan is hoping that this year's Lady Tigers squad will share the same experience by the end of the season.

"This is one of the hardest working and deepest teams I have ever been around," said Monaghan. "I think that our strength comes from a strong nucleus of returning players and what could pan out to be the best recruiting class in the history of the program."

This year's crop of newcomers, like the game of soccer itself, has a large international appeal. Monaghan has brought in two English players, a duo from Denmark, a Canadian and a Swedish defender. Four other incoming freshmen didn't have to worry about visas or passports: the American contingent includes preps from Wisconsin, Oklahoma and a trio of Memphians.

Regardless of the immense talent of their newcomers, the Lady Tigers will be leaning heavily upon the leadership of three veteran seniors to lead the way. According to Monaghan, midfielder Michelle Meduri and defenders Jen Thiele and Suzanne Williams are fully prepared to assume their important roles.

"We [the coaching staff] sat the seniors down at the beginning of the season and let them know that we need their leadership all the way," said Monaghan. "They're a very mature group and they're ready to get the season going, I have a ton of confidence in their ability."

According to Monaghan, the 2001 Lady Tigers have the ability to leave their mark on the University of Memphis record books.

"If we play the soccer that I know we're capable of playing, this team will compete for a Conference-USA title," Monaghan said.

DEFENSE...

Talented sophomore goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell will be the anchor for this year's Lady Tiger defense. The Katrineholm, Sweden, native earned the starting keeper's job during the second game of the season and finished the year with 17 starts. Wicksell's stingy goaltending helped her earn four shutouts last season.

"Wicksell should be one of the top keepers in the conference this year," said Monaghan. "Last season she went through a brief adjusting period, but she will be much more comfortable in goal when we get going this year."

Wicksell is lucky enough to be joined by two experienced defenders in seniors in Thiele and Williams, who have combined for 89 games played.

Williams is regarded as the most physical player on the Lady Tigers' roster and Thiele bounced back from a knee injury to start six of Memphis' final seven games last season.

Moller and Willoughby could even be major contributors right away.

"There are some holes we are looking to fill immediately," said Monaghan.

"Willoughby is a central defender who wil provide us a big presence in the middle of the park and Moller has top-notch experience that you just can't teach."

MIDFIELD...

Summer experience always helps to keep athletes at their best and two Lady Tiger midfielders were busy honing their skills in top-flight leagues during the summer of 2001. Junior Allison Baker starred for the W League's Memphis Mercury this summer and will anchor the Memphis midfield this fall. Sophomore Anja Nielsen returned home to Horsens, Denmark, where she competed in the prestigious Denmark League. Baker and Nielsen were the only Lady Tigers to play in every match last season, Nielsen was the only player to start all 20 games in 2000.

Senior Michelle Meduri returns for her fourth season as a Lady Tiger midfielder. Last season, the Germantown, Tenn., native appeared in 17 matches, starting 10, and will be looked to as a vocal leader this year.

"Midfield is a position where leadership is very important," said Monaghan. " We're looking to Meduri to pull things together for us both on and off the field this year."

Junior Rebecca Amrozowicz was fourth on the squad in total points last season and should provide more offensive firepower from the outside midfield position again this year.

Looking to challenge the aforementioned upperclassmen is a talented group of five freshmen, including: Laura Barse, Amy Ciezki, Delilah Hogan, Carina Vilhodt and Susannah Wells.

FORWARDS...

After losing over 70 percent of last year's offense, it would be more than fair to say that Monaghan was pressed to find players who can score.

"It's tough to bring in two goal-scorers who can match the kind of output that we had last year," admitted Monaghan.

Ironically, that may have been exactly what the head coach did in the offseason. Monaghan had to literally look near and far before signing a pair of forwards who he hopes will have an immediate impact on his team.

Local standout Mary Shelton of St. Benedict High School in Memphis and foreign product Michelle Sorensen of Denmark are the leading candidates to start at forward after an impressive pre-season camp.

Sophomores Jennifer Goff and Jennifer Bronars are the lone returnees at the forward spots. Goff played in 15 matches and was often the first player off the bench last season and Bronars may have been the good luck charm for the Lady Tigers last season - Memphis was a perfect 5-0 and outscored opponents 20-3 with her on the field in 2000.

Freshman Monica Powell is a speedster who adds versatility to the Lady Tigers' offensive scheme.

THE SEASON...

The Lady Tigers begin their 2001 campaign on the road in Colombia, Mo., against Missouri on August 31 and play their home opener two days later against Southwest Missouri St. on September 2. Conference-USA play opens with the Lady Tigers traveling to St. Louis to take on the Billikens and wraps-up at home against Southern Florida. The Conference USA Championships Tournament will be held November 6-9 in Milwaukee, Wis., at Marquette.

Also figuring to add to the defensive mix are junior Tiffany Thompson, sophomore Veronica Ruiz and newcomers Annika Moller and Angela Willoughby.

200 1 Media Guide

2000 Lady Tigers Season In Review Despite missing the conference playoffs by less than two games, the 2000 Lady Tigers managed to put-up nine impressive victories to finish the season with the second-highest win total in the history of the program - two wins shy of the 11-10-1 Lady Tigers of 1997.

Head Coach Brooks Monaghan blended the invaluable experience of four workhorse seniors with the youthful exuberance of two freshmen and two sophomores to make up the nucleus for his 2000 starting lineup. Seniors Nicole Bates-Earner, Michele Meehan, Candice Spiniolas and Tori Winslett combined for 219 starts, 40 goals and 111 points in their four years as Lady Tigers. Their experience rubbed-off on underclassmen Molly Danaher, All Baker, Anja Nielsen and Jessica Gjertsen; all of whom started every game for Memphis.

The result was as mixed as the experience of Monaghan's starters. The 2000 Lady Tigers managed stunning wins over Tulane, DePaul and SEC rival Mississippi State, but dropped decisions against traditionally weaker programs such as DAB and Southern Mississippi.

RAWE 'DOGS' SEC FOE...

Freshman keeper Kari Rawe was unbeatable in Memphis' 1-0 victory over Mississippi State on October 10. After Meehan's goal 20:10 into the first half, Rawe blanked the Bulldogs for the remainder of the opening period and the entirety of the second.

The Alberta, Canada, native was much busier than her Bulldog counterpart, posting six saves on 11 MSU shots, while the Lady Tigers managed one tally on only seven shots on goal.

Rawe appeared between the posts in eight games in 2000, holding a team-leading .633 saves percentage and an overall record of 1-0.

CONFERENCE CLASSICS...

The 2000 season saw the Lady Tigers pick up memorable in-conference victories over DePaul, Tulane and Louisville. On September 27, Memphis and DePaul were engaged in a scoreless tie with nearly 48 minutes left to play, until Spiniolas erupted for back-to-back goals - the second coming at the 63:12 mark - on assists from freshman forward Jennifer Goff and Winslett, respectively. The 2-0 victory was the Lady Tigers first conference victory of the season.

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

What originally began as a defensive battle quickly turned into second-half fireworks when the Lady Tigers squared-off against Tulane on September 29. Gjertsen, the 2000 Conference USA Freshman of the Year, found the back of the net on back-to-back goals at the 51:16 and 69:37 mark, but the Green Wave responded with two goals from Megan Stack to tie the game with under six minutes remaining. The resilient Lady Tigers saw their chance with less than three minutes to play and capitalized when Spiniolas served a perfect cross to Winslett, who finished with a dramatic header. The win evened the Lady Tigers' overall record at 6-6.

Memphis' final C-USA victory of the season came in a 6-2 drubbing of Louisville. Tied 2-2 going into the break, Monaghan's adjustments paid instant dividends in the second half as Spiniolas collected a hat trick on three-consecutive goals and Gjertsen capped the scoring at the 82:03 mark.

LATE SEASON SLIDE...

Coming off a 6-2 Conference USA victory over Louisville and with three C-USA games remaining, the Lady Tigers were poised to make their first postseason appearance since 1997. Instead, they hit their lengthiest skid of the season, beginning with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss at the hands of Cincinnati, followed by defeats at St.Louis and Houston. Memphis was outshot by 30 attempts and outscored by a margin of 8-2 over its final three conference contests and the Lady Tigers missed the Conference USA Championship Tournament by a game-and-a-half.

PAYBACK'S A 4-0 SHUTOUT...

With their late season blunder - and their chance for a C-USA playoff berth - behind them, the Lady Tigers used senior day 2000 to take out their frustration on local rival Christian Brothers. Spiniolas ended her stellar U of M career on a first-half goal at the 5:29 mark and passed the torch to Gjertsen, who fired a hat trick on assists from Spiniolas, Suzanne Williams and Baker. The win left the Lady Tigers just one win away from .500... and with a sense that better things await them in the future

In the world of intercollegiate sports, many considered the formation of Conference USA a bold move. Its formation occurred during a significant period of major conference realignment and restructuring of the NCAA. C-USA established a strong foundation while quickly earning a reputation of successfully competing at the highest levels of intercollegiate athletics.

Capitalizing on the strengths of its 15 distinguished and diverse universities, Conference USA has quickly emerged as one of the nation's top conferences.

The millennium brings a new look to the league with membership expansion and the introduction of a brand identity program, featuring a family of new marks. East Carolina and TCU will join the league in all sports this season and South Florida will become a football member in 2003. The new marks reflect the urban, progressive and bold nature of the C-USA brand and are part of a comprehensive marketing and promotional program designed to reinforce the conference's athletic and national emergence.

C-USA member institutions span 13 states, more than any other Division I-A conference and are located in 13 major television markets. Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the seven conferences that has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The conference enjoys prominent national television exposure, NCAA automatic qualifications and major bowl tie-ins.

in golf, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 190 NCAA appearances.

Among C-USA's 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well.

In six years, 49 student-athletes earned national Academic All-America honors, while 106 were named All-District. In addition, more than 5,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll or received the Commissioner's Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. The conference annually awards six postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award.

ESPN, Inc. and Conference USA recently entered into an exclusive eight-year agreement, beginning with the 2001 football season and the 2001 -2002 basketball season. The multi-faceted agreement, which incorporates ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Regional Television, ESPN.com and ESPN Classic, is highlighted by: ESPN/ ESPN2's first-time coverage of C-USA football featuring weeknight games; televising future CUSA Football Championship Games on ABC Sports; men's basketball coverage Fridays on ESPN and Wednesdays on ESPN2; syndication and network rights for the conference's football and basketball coverage through ERT; continued exposure for women's basketball, along with volleyball, baseball, soccer and Softball, as well as marketing rights.

This is the '/*ÂŁUniversity wrwfcfc / ofI Memphis r . *

T

he University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban university committed to scholarly accomplishments of our students and faculty and to the enhancement of our community. The University of Memphis offers 15 bachelor's degrees in more than 50 majors and 70 concentrations, master's degrees in 45 subjects and doctoral degrees in 18 disciplines, in addition to the Juris Doctor (law) and a specialist degree in education. The University of Memphis campus is located on 1,160 acres with nearly 200 buildings at more than four sites. During a typical semester, students come from almost every state and many foreign countries. The average age of full-time undergraduates is 23. The average ACT score for entering freshman is 22.

Me Ht put T

he University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tiger as the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict.)

Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm was built; today that dorm, Scales Hall, houses the academic counseling offices.

In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College.

Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W. Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935 the school's agriculture department was discontinued.

The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946 the first alumnus was named president, J. Millard "]ack" Smith. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semester system.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959 the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum.

The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom.

In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed.

The University of Memphis women's basketball and volleyball teams play all home events at the 2,800-seat Elma Roane Fieldhouse. Situated in the heart of U of M's campus, the Fieldhouse is equipped with lockerroom and training facilities for the five Lady Tiger athletic teams. The Fieldhouse received an $80,000 renovation in August of 1993 as the gym itself was completely painted and entry ways were improved with lighting and a totally different design. In the summer of 1998, a new floor was put down, and that floor will receive a new paint scheme for the 2001-02 season. The lighting in the building was improved prior to the 1999-2000 season, and plans are in the early stages to add air conditioning to the arena. The fieldhouse was nicknamed "The Jungle" this past basketball season, and the building will undergo another facelift in 2001 as awnings will be added to the outside and over the concession and ticket areas. There is also discussion to change all seating to chairback seating. The Lady Tiger basketball team set a record for attendance in 1997-98, hosting 3,410 fans for the matchup with cross state rival Tennessee. The Lady Tiger basketball team owns an impressive 75-16 record at The Fieldhouse.

Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is the site of all the University of Memphis home football games, as well as the Liberty Bowl postseason game. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, "built by the citizens of Memphis," is a memorial to the veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The 62,380-seat facility, operated by the Memphis Park Commission, was built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis and renovated in 1987 for $19.5 million. The Tigers opened the stadium with a meeting against Ole Miss on Sept. 1 8, 1965, and over 35 years have compiled a 108-92-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features a new "prescription turf" playing surface, spacious lockerrooms, and a four-level press box, which features a stadium club for VIPs.

The largest crowd to witness a Tiger football game at the Liberty Bowl was the 65,885 who attended the Tigers' stunning upset of sixth-ranked Tennessee in 1 996. Memphis defeated the Vols, 21-17, in a game televised by CBS. In 1970, the U of M Athletic Department officially opened the Kennedy Sportsplex, a 1 40-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. In the mid-80s, the facility was renamed the Billy ]. Murphy Complex in honor of former Memphis head football coach and athletic director Billy ]. Murphy. The main building features a 50-yard indoor practice field with an artificial surface. This field is used for workouts when the weather prohibits outdoor practices and is also used by the baseball team for winter workouts. Located behind the main building are four outdoor football fields, used for fall and spring practices. Other features of the complex include a golf driving range and a 5,000 square foot Novagrass artificial green. The green, which features four sand bunkers, allows both golf teams to practice their short games.The building will undergo a much needed $ 10 million renovation in the coming year. Included in the renovation is a main lobby which will feature a Hall of Fame as well as Tiger athletic memoribilia. The lobby will accomodate up to 1 50 people and will also be used for special events. Two large meeting rooms will be added in order for the Tiger football team to meet prior to practices. The main meeting room will seat up to 100 people and the smaller room will accomodate up to 75 people. There will also be individual meeting rooms for all of the position coaches to hold meetings. The equipment room will receive an overhaul as will the athletic training facility. The equipment room will also receive an expanded laundry facility, and the training room will add two underground aquatic pools for rehabilitation. The football lockerroom will be completely revamped and players will now have a lounge area to relax and study in. Also included are new lockerrooms for track and a visitor's changing area. The current lockerrooms for the spring sports teams will be updated.

The newly-constructed Larry O. Finch Center opened in the spring of 2000 and serves as the practice facility for men's basketball. The 31,000 square foot facility features a regulation court which runs east to west. With the removal of portable goals, the building can be divided into three north-south courts for intramural play. Each court has its own Scoreboard and clock. The center's fully-equipped training room includes heat packs, electrical stimulation units, ultrasound, whirlpools, three treatment and two taping tables as well as a separate doctor's examination room. Additionally, the center includes a locker room for the U of M basketball team, player lounge and storage area as well as a complete weight room. Overlooking the courts is a media room as well as coaching staff offices and a coaches' lockerroom.

Improvements include a state-of-the-art air conditioning and dehumidification center, an aerobics room, larger free weight and nautilas/cardivascular fitness rooms and additional basketball courts.

Also a part of the improvements was the complete renovation of the center's aquatics facilities, including four swimming pools. The SRFC has two identical indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities. The two Olympic-size pools have 10, seven-foot lanes with a minimum pool depth of four feet while the two, 25-yard short course diving wells have a minimum depth of eight feet. The pools include both short course and long course non-turbulent lane lines, 32 starting blocks, underwater observation window, two Colorado 4000 timing systems with display, audio system and spectator seating. Located adjacent to the indoor pools are a whirlpool, sauna, and steam room. The center includes two gymnasiums with multi-court floors as well as additional outdoor basketball and tennis courts across Echles Street. There are also 10 racquetball courts located in the building.

The SRFC also includes remodeled lockerroom facilities.

All of the University of Memphis' home baseball games are played at Nat Buring Stadium, a 1,200seat facility adjacent to the Murphy Athletic Complex, which opened with an 11-2 Tiger victory over Mississippi State on March 14, 1972. Just 1 3 days after celebrating the 19th anniversary of opening day at Nat Buring, Memphis played its first-ever night game with a 5-4 win over Ole Miss on March 27, 1991. Nat Buring Stadium is named after the owner of Buring Food Packing who is an avid supporter of Memphis baseball. The stadium has had several renovations over the years, including the addition of chairback seating, an enclosed press box and most recently, new dugouts. Feasibility studies are currently underway to approach the construction of a new stadium for Tiger baseball. In 30 years at Nat Buring, the Tigers own a 591-21 7-1 record, and recorded their best home record of 32-1 in 1981.

Located next to the baseball stadium is Murphy Track, an eight-lane, polyurethane tartan surface track used by the U of M track teams for home meets. During the summer of 1 991, 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.

The 2001 soccer season is sure to be an exciting one as the men's team will play all of their matches at the newly-constructed Mike Rose Soccer Complex.

The women's team will is expected to play at least four games at the complex.

The facility, which is privately managed and operated, sits on 1 36.1 7 acres and was designed to accomodate exhibition games, tournaments, special events, camps and clinics. There are 16 fields which have Bermuda grass and an underground drainage system. Completed most recently is the stadium which will feature more than 5,000 seats and will be the host to Tiger soccer. The stadium facility also includes showers, lockerrooms, a food court, a retail store, full media services, administrative offices, Trophy Suites and a conference room.

Matches not played at Mike Rose will be played on campus at Echles Field. The 900-seat facility is located adjacent to the Health Physical Education and Recreation Building and received a $20,000 facelift in the summer of 1992. The renovations include a new electronic Scoreboard, concrete slabs for bleachers, and the purchase of additional seats.

The men's and women's tennis teams host their opponents on the HMSE courts located just two blocks from the Athletic Office Building. There are 21 laykold-surfaced courts which allow the Tiger tennis teams to host multi-team tournaments. The courts received some much needed renovation in 2000. Concrete was poured underneath the lower courts, while the remaining courts were resurfaced. The light poles and the courts were painted blue and gray, and new windscreens were installed that announce the facility as the "home of Tiger and Lady Tiger Tennis." Plans are also in the works to add a gazebo and sand volleyball courts for student use outside of the facility.

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 1.000,000 residents while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town.

Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city.

One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds. the St. Louis Cardinals" Triple-A club. The new 14,320-seat 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.

Downtown is served by the Main Street Trolley. The trolley system, which first opened in April of 1993, currently consists of the Main Street Line which passes near such Memphis landmarks as Beale Street, the Pinch District. Court Square and the National Civil Rights Museum. The Riverfront Loop includes a station in front oi The Pyramid and offers riders a unique vista of the Mississippi River.

Memphis musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy who wrote the first blues song here in 1909. a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as "The Memphis Blues.'" The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who performed along Beale included Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King.

Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival 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.

Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and Entertainment Center which is slated to open late this year. The 300,000 square foot retail complex will feature a 21-screen movie the-

ater and 3D IMAX as well as several theme restaurants.

Also located within a block of Beale Street is Gibson Guitar Memphis which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Also on the same property is the Smithsonian's Rock 'n' Soul Museum which includes artifacts documenting music's past.

Memphis' musical roots also includes Stax and HiRecords as well as Sun Records recording studios.

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 Pickens and J o h n n y 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 America after the White House.

Athletic Director R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 29 years in athletic administration and served as athletic director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29, 1995.

"Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of the premier athletic directors in the country," said former U of M 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."

Johnson initiated the start of a capital campaign to add a new 8,000-squarefoot football and basketball office complex to the current Athletic Office Building, a new basketball practice facility and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Memphis' south campus.

The eight million dollar campaign is the largest fund raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics and should bring the Tiger athletic facilities on-line with Conference USA sister institutions.

During the spring of 1999, Johnson negotiated one of the richest radio broadcast package in Tiger athletic history with WMC-AM 79 in Memphis. The threeyear agreement calls for WMC to pay the University approximately $1.2 million for football and men's basketball rights.

In his short tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic director's Ambassador's Club.

Johnson has conducted several meetings with the Memphis Park Commission to add a greater presence for the Tigers in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs appear in the Liberty Bowl indicating that the stadium is

the "home of the Tigers."

At Temple, Johnson was responsible for directing a program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20-men's and women's intercollegiate sports, including nationally visible programs in men's basketball and football. He was named Temple's director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after a national search.

The former Temple athletic director enjoys a reputation for building private and corporate support for intercollegiate athletics and for developing strong academic services for student-athletes.

Highlights of his tenure at Temple include: the origination of a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee; the Athletic Director's Honor Roll for student-athletes; the reorganization of the Athletic Department infrastructure; chairing the Atlantic 10 Conference Membership Committee and representing the Big East Conference on the Gender-Equity Task Force.

Johnson was hired at Temple after nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. During his tenure at Miami University, Johnson was responsible for numerous programs that enhanced the stature and image of the Ohio institution.

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 for Temple, Miami University had 15 student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 student-athletes with a 3.50 or better GPA and 191 studentathletes with a 3.00 GPA or better.

Before becoming athletic director at Miami University, Johnson was athletic director at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88. He was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974 to 1980.

A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant football coach at

R.C. Johnson Mankato State University from 196874. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and '68 seasons. Prior to joining the staff at Youngstown State, Johnson served as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa for two years (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65).

A native of Ottawa, III., Johnson has his bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Iowa and a master's in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa.

He is a member of the Football Issues Committee of the NCAA, the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, the Executive Committee of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association, the C-USA Representative on the Board of Directors of the AFCA, and he serves on the Finance, Nominating, Planning, Football Scheduling, and Expansion & Bowl Committees for Conference USA.

Cantler is assisted by two full-time certified athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18 student trainers. Assistant athletic trainer Beth Raitz is in her third season working with the women's basketball team, while Ray Burr is in his fifth season as the head trainer for the men's basketball team.

The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at the U of M. Dr. Barry Phillips is directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Lady Tiger basketball team, while Dr. Thomas Meriweather serves as the team physician. Also serving as team doctors are Dr. T. David Sisk, Dr. Barney Freeman and Dr. Art Franklin.

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-to-day rehabilitation of injured or post-surgery student-athletes.

The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care for injuries, but to assist the athletes in preventing the injuries from occurring.

&. Conditioning The Tiger Strength and Conditioning facility located next to the newly remodeled indoor turf room in the south campus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex, opened in January 1993 and serves each of the University's intercollegiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsity weightroom is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware such that groups of up to 70 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency.

Workouts are designed and supervised by one of the Strength and Conditioning staff's certified specialists, and each student-athlete's individual progress is projected via computerized database. The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, mulit-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 fatique).

Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyometric/ medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, gluteham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements.

The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is maintained at a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of "foundational" or generalized movements; and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase.

The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a studentathlete's four or five year sport career, however broad variations in workload combine the program's simplicity with a measure of sophistication.

Mike Stark, who lettered for the Tigers for three years under former head coach Billy J. Murphy during the late 1960s and early 1970s, has returned to the University has the head strength and conditioning coach.

RAY OLIVER Assistant

Traditions 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 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.

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 almost 30 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 City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $ 1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11,1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and

Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won.

During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. His new home is 3500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and has seperately, a complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM, who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOM II prior to each football season.

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 amons all students.

THE LOGO The University of Memphis' official logo has been redesigned by Craig Thompson, from 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".
