2003 Outlook

Just for Kicks,,. • The Tigers return nine starters and 14 letterwinners from the 2002 squad that went 10-7-1. • Memphis returns two of three C-USA All-Freshman team memPers • The Tigers return their second-leading scorer from a year ago as well as its assist leader. • As selected by C-USA coaches, Memphis was picked to finish ninth this year in the 2003 C-USA Preseason Poll. • Memphis returns more than 50% of its goal and points producers from last year's team. • Coach Richie Grant is just six wins shy of his 100th career coaching win. • The 2003 Tigers roster contains just three seniors in Dusty Brezovsky, captain Graham Gibbs and Clark Talley. The 2003 edition of the University of Memphis men's soccer team will enter the season with the attainable expectation of reaching one goal. That goal is making the 2003 Conference USA Tournament, which it will host in November. The Tigers return all the needed ingredients to do just that, as head coach Richie Grant returns the majority of his team, including nine starters. "We are excited about the mindset of making it to the playoff at the end of the season," Grant said. "It is important for our program that we are in the C-USA Tournament." With the quality of the returning players, two of which were 2002 C-USA All-Freshman picks, and incoming talent, the Tigers have the ability to make a strong case for participation in the 2003 tournament. Included in the returning group, sophomore forward Omar Jarun along with midfielders Dayton O'Brien, Peter Cummings and John Reilly / are expected to maintain Memphis' reputation as a strong offense with a high-scoring attack. Graham Gibbs and Justin Dyer will shoulder the responsibilities of anchoring the Memphis defense to establish the Tigers as a strong program in both C-USA and the region.

Coaching The Memphis coaching staff will take on a new look this season as former assistants Paul Conway and Ryan Shea each took head coaching positions at Lambuth University and Austin College, respectively. Robert Nicholson will be the new face roaming the sidelines with coach Richie Grant this season. Nicholson joins the Tiger program after two years at crosstown Christian Brothers University where

he assisted both the men's and women's teams. He had an important hand in leading the CBU women's squad to a Division II National Championship in 2002. The transition from Conway and Shea to Nicholson is expected to be smooth, There is much excitement throughout the players about what Nicholson brings to the table in terms of knowledge of the game and strength and conditioning for the game. "His knowledge gives us a definite advantage on the field," Grant said. "We are fortunate to have had good assistants in the past and the tradition will continue with Robbie."

Forwards The forward position will be an interesting position for the Tigers as Memphis lost its leading scorer from last year's team in Daniel Ronan. However, Grant is excited about the development of sophomore Andy Metcalf and will look for him to score more goals in a breakthrough season. Metcalf scored five goals in his first season in the blue and gray, including a multi-goal performance against Belmont. The Tigers also return Omar Jarun, who earned All-Freshman recognition last year. Jarun is a big target in the middle for Memphis and has the potential to be one of the top players in the conference. "Andy (Metcalf) has to score and Omar (Jarun) will be looked on to supply him with the goals for us to have a successful season and maintain our high scoring attack," says Grant. Reid Greenslade, who was forced out of competition last year with Injuries, will be expected to have an impact and earn more time on the pitch to help make Memphis a stronger team.

Midfielders The Tigers return their strongest core of players at the midfield position. Returning to the U \f M midfield is the team's assist leader from ^ a year ago in 2002 All-Freshman member Dayton O'Brien, the team's secondleading scorer, John Reilly, seasoned senior Dusty Brezovsky and Peter Cummings, These young experienced players will be the key to Memphis' success in 2003. O'Brien is on impact player who is flexible and is a threat to opposing defenses from both the left and center-midfield positions. Reilly, who finished the 2002 campaign with 20 points on eight goals and four assists, returns to the right midfield position after a strong sophomore senior in which he ranked second on the team in scor-

w ing with 20 points on eight goals and four assists. Brezovsky brings the element of experience to this group as he begins his final season as a Tiger. Cummings had a solid spring and will be looked on to be an impact player this year, Daniel Dobson also returns to the midfield. Dobson spent time in both the Tiger midfield and defense last season and earned Player of the Week honors for the week of Sept. 3. He is a force in the air and his height is an asset to the team. He should be a much-improved player in his junior season, The addition of incoming freshmen Brad Whitsitt and Harrison Kiser will make the Memphis attack even stronger. However important the offensive side of the coin is, coach Grant emphasizes the equal importance of defense from the midfield spot. Israeli freshman Avichay Alkolzer will also see time in the Tiger midfield. "We must be a better defending team in the midfield to be a better team."

^2003 Outlook

Depth is exactly what the Tigers have as starter Clark Talley returns for his final year for Memphis. Brian Baytos also returns after three strong appearances in 2002 before being sidelined with a torn rotator cuff injury that ended his season. Although Memphis lost Chris Post, who saw action as the starter towards the end of last season, they bring in strong talent in transfer keeper Sebastian Vecchio and incoming freshman Tyler Trew. Vecchio, who transferred in from Mid-Continent College (KY) spent the summer as the starting keeper for the Memphis Express of the Professional Development League (PDL). With Talley and Baytos returning and Vecchio and Trew coming in, it will be exciting to see the potential at the goalie position.

Entering his fifth year as head men's soccer coach at the University of Memphis, Richie Grant has begun to build a reputation as one of the finest coaches in the nation. Grant has shown a supernatural ability to recruit a steady flow of talent from the southern region of the United States, while bringing solid players from Europe and Canada in to form competitive teams. This year Grant focused on keeping the best in the state at home, signing a trio of strong Tennesseans to this year's edition. However, he also made new ventures, recruiting in the Northeastern United States, South America, Israel and even north to Canada to complete the 2003 Tiger roster. Since Grant's arrival in 1999, the Tigers' offense has strengthened, twice finishing the season ranked nationally in scoring and setting school records for goals, assists and points in 2000. Grant has posted 37 wins in his four years at Memphis and is closing in on his 100th career coaching victory with a 94-68-5 record in his eight seasons as a head coach. Grant has also grown accustomed to winning and expects nothing H&* less at ^s^ Memphis. Under his leadership, the Tigers have eclipsed the 10-win mark twice, including a 10-7-1 campaign in 2002. After posting a 7-11 record in his first year. Grant's Tigers put up a 14-6 record in 2000, doubling their win total from the previous season and helping Grant become the first Tiger coach to earn Conference USA Coach of the Year honors. In 2000, Grant led Memphis to its third-best record in school history as the Tigers advanced to the semi-finals of the C-USA Championship Tournament. The squad spent the vast majority of the season ranked in the NSCAA Midwest Region poll and finished the year rated fifth. Grant's offensive scheme also helped the Tigers finish their 2000 campaign ranked fifth in NCAA Division I for

overall offense averaging 2.95 goals a contest. The Tigers struggled throughout the majority of the 2001 season due to frequent and untimely injuries, along with a loss of key personnel. However, under Grant's guidance and leadership, the U of M managed to place four players on the various all-conference squads following the conclusion of the season. Last season Grant took a group of unseasoned talent into a tough schedule, and managed to lead Memphis to its 13th 10-win season, including guiding the squad to an undefeated non-conference schedule. His tutelage brought forth the benefits of national, regional and league recognition as three Tiger freshmen were named to the C-USA All-Freshman team, while one other U of M player garnered Second-Team honors, Grant is not just committed to winning on the field, but also in the classroom as he has coached two academic All-Americans at Memphis in Justin Stralka (2000) and Chris Schmidt (2002). Schmidt was also named as the C-USA Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2002. As a player, Grant was a three-time NAIA All-American defender and was twice named the NAIA District V Player of the Year at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vt, where he received his bachelor's degree in leisure resources and facilities management in 1993. Grant then went on to play for the Minnesota Thunder, a semi-pro team that competes in the Aleague. Grant hung up his boots after just one season with the Thunder, and took a coaching position at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, where he earned his master's degree in communication studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95. Grant then took his first head coaching job at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., in 1995. In four seasons at Lambuth (1995-99), Grant compiled a 53-29-2 record and won back-to-back Mid-South Conference Championships in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. In his final season at Lambuth, Grant led the Eagles to the NAIA Region XI Championships. Grant earned his National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma in 1997 and then earned his NSCAA Premier Diploma in 2002.

The Tiger coaching staff will enter the 2003 season with a new face on the sidelines alongside head coach Richie Grant, as Robert Nicholson has come on board to serve as the Tigers' assistant coach. Nicholson brings a great deal of knowledge and coaching ability to the Tiger program. "Robbie's knowledge of the game and of strength and conditioning for the game will definitely give us an advantage," said Grant. Nicholson, who hails from Wishaw, Scotland, comes to the program after two years of service as both assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach at crosstown Christian Brothers University. At CBU Nicholson worked with both the men's and women's teams and helped lead the women's squad to the 2002 Division II National Championship. Prior to his stint at CBU, the Scotland native served as the assistant coach at his alma mater, Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas for the 1999 and 2000 seasons. As a player, Nicholson played two seasons (19951997) as a defender at Tyier JC, where he was the team captain for both seasons and led the team to a pair of Junior College National Tournament semifinal appearances. He then moved on to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla., from 1997-1999, where he also played in the defense and captained the Redmen for two seasons. Nicholson is a 1999 graduate of Northeastern State, where he earned his degree in health and kinesiology with an emphasis in teaching and education. He then completed his Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in the summer of 2000. Nicholson received his National Coaching License from the National Soccer Coaches of America (NSCAA).

2002 Season Recap Youthful experience characterized the 2002 season as the Tigers entered the season with just three seniors on the team. Memphis relied on youth to get the job done and the youth did not disappoint as the Tigers fought to its seventh 10-win season in the past 10 years with a 10-7-1 mark. An undefeated non-conference finish highlighted the season as Grant's group marched to a 7-0-1 finish outside of Conference USA play. However, the Tigers struggled to a 3-7 record in conference play to finish the regular season in ninth place. Dayton O'Brien connected on a penalty kick for his first career goal to give Memphis an exciting 3-2 double-overtime conference win over TCU in its 2002 home opener. On that emotional high, the Tigers rolled into the Memphis-Diadora Tournament and an opening round meeting with San Francisco, The result was a 2-1 double overtime win to place Memphis in the Championship match with Northeastern. After two Tiger red cards, John Reilly's header found the back of the net to give Memphis a 2-1 undermanned win over the eventual NCAA Tournament qualifier. The Tigers then set out on a nine-game road trip, the longest road swing in the program's history. Memphis stretched its record to 4-0 with a seven-goal outburst in the first road game of the year against Lipscomb. A pair of 4-2 losses at the hands of league foes Cincinnati and South Florida followed to blemish the U of M record at 4-2, A 3-3 tie at Stetson marked the lone non-conference blemish for Memphis. Freshman Daniel Ronan's three goals and one assist fueled Grant's crew to back-to-back wins over Western Kentucky, 4-0, and then Vanderbilt, 3-2, as the Tigers improved to 6-2-1. Conference troubles continued as Memphis dropped a 2-1 decision in an important conference matchup that put the Tigers' backs against the wall at 1 -3 in league play. The Tigers again fought back to take a 2-1 win in a must-win match at East Carolina. Senior)[ MrK Kirk KICK Ricketts and John Reilly teamed up to score a pair of goals in the final 15 minutes of play to give ' *^ 1 the Tigers a 3-2 come-from-behind-win at UNC-Wilmington in the final game of the nine-game roadtrip. The schedule proved unkind to the Tigers as they returned home to Mike Rose Stadium to face four of the league's top teams \ in consecutive *,: matches. A 3-1 loss to Louisville and three consecutive tough 2-1 defeats to UAB, Marquette and Saint Louis put to rest any chances of postseason play dropping the squad to 8-7-1 overall and just 2-7 against conference opponents. The four straight home losses marked the record books as the longest home losing streak in Memphis history. I Daniel Ronan and Andy Metcalf » each scored two goals to power the

Memphis Tigers Soccer

U of M to a 7-1 win in the home finale win over Belmont, With one game left on the slate to eclipse the 10-win plateau, the Tigers traveled to Charlotte to take on the 49ers in the final game of the season. Playing for pride, Memphis defeated Charlotte 2-1 to wrap the season up with a win to end the year with a 10-7-1 record. Four Tigers earned postseason honors as Chris Schmidt led the pack by being named 2002-03 C-USA Scholar Athlete of the Year, Verizon Academic All-District IV, Second Team AII-C-USA and NSCAA All-Midwest Region Third Team. Dayton O'Brien, Daniel Ronan and Omar Jarun were each named to the league's All-Freshman Team. Along with Schmidt, O'Brien too received NSCAA All-Midwest Region Third Team honors. O'Brien also earned C-USA Offensive Player of the Week recognition, while Daniel Dobson and Graham Gibbs each garnered Defensive Player of the Week awards. The Tigers amassed 48 assists on the year, which ranks third on the alltime list for team assists in a single season. Although young, the Tigers showed promise for a bright future with competitive play toward the end of the season. However, they cannot settle for mere improvement through the course of the 2002 season. More balance in conference matches will prove to be the key as the 2003 squad must raise the bar for what is expected from Memphis soccer teams. The season will require consistent improvement and play to achieve the goal of a C-USA Tournament appearance.

Just for Kicks,,, The U of M was ranked as high as 5th in the nation in scoring during the season before finishing the year ranked 8"1 in the country at 2.61 goals per game. • Memphis finished the 2002 nonconference slate with an undefeated 7-0-1 mark. • The Tigers were not shutout in 2002, running the streak of consecutive matches without being shutout to 22 games dating back to Oct. 20 of 2001. • Memphis' 48 assists ranks third alltime in the program's single-season j team records. • Three of the Tigers' four 2002 seniors earned their bachelor's degree in the Spring of 2003, while Ronnie Nilsson looks to wrap up his master's degree in 2004.

As is the case with any team, an increase in victories leads to an program at Memphis from scratch as the goalkeepers' coach, and four years ago when he was offered the head coaching position, the 30-year- increase in expectations. But Monaghan's young Lady Tigers suffered through some growing pains in 2001 and saw the promise of an exciting old coach didn't flinch. "I was excited and nervous at the same time," Monaghan season fall victim to nine one-goal losses and four others by just two said after he accepted the post. "Going from goalkeeper coach to head goals as they finished the campaign at 5-13-1. "Even though our record doesn't show it, we played better in coach is a big stepping stone. The program was very average at the time and I found that to be challenging. I always love a good challenge." 2001 than we did in 2000 and I'm proud of that," Monaghan said. "We It would have been easy for Monaghan to give up on a fledg- had a lot of heartbreaking losses that season, but we learned from that ling program that had combined to win just 10 games the previous two and became a better team because of it. These girls are still young and seasons and notched just one conference have a lot of soccer ahead of them here at Memphis." As the coach stated, the improvement continued in 2002 as the win the year before he took over, but instead the former U of M goalkeeper grabbed the Lady Tigers reached the Conference USA Tournament for the first time reins and began to since 1997. "That was our primary goal entering the season and we steer the Lady were able to accomplish it by playing our best soccer towards the end of T i g e r s the year," Monaghan said.

"It takes time to build a program and get players adjusted to guided the Lady Ti- your style of coaching," Monaghan said. "And I finally feel like we're gers to a getting there.

Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger Head Coach, Monaghan season and within served as the primary goalkeeper's coach and was a vital part of the one vic- Memphis coaching staff during the program's first four seasons.

2003 Preview Spirits are high around the University of Memphis women's soccer program as the team gears towards the 2003 season. And well they should be. The squad has 13 returners from last season's team that put Memphis in the Conference-USA tournament for the first time since 1 997 and won a program-record five league matches. Head coach Brooks Monaghan also corralled the top-recruiting class in the league according to Soccerbuzz.com. Mixing his solid core of returners with a slew of talented newcomers will yield a quality level of depth that Monaghan has been building towards as he enters his fourth year as the Lady Tigers' head coach. "With our newcomers, we are now two-strong at each position on the field and with the level of play increasing each year in the C-USA, that is becoming a must in order to be successful," Monaghan said. "Having this much depth also pushes the girls that much harder because they know they are going to have to battle for playing time." Monaghan and the Lady Tigers did lose two main cogs from last season's offensive attack as leading goal scorers Alison Baker and. Becca Amrozowicz each gradu2 ated. Baker, a third•1 f team all-C-USA selection, led the team with six goals and 15 points. That means several newcomers will be counted on to fill the holes on the offensive side left by the former senior duo. However, defensively, the squad has all its starters back minus goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell, who left after her junior season to play professionally in her home country of Sweden. "I am very confi-

"And even offensively, we have

some talented newcomers to go with some talented returners who will help replace our graduated seniors." Among those talented returners is junior forward Kirsty Marr, who led t h e squad with four-game winning goals last season. MIDFIELDERS...The Lady Tigers have four returners to help tutor a foursome of newcomers who will all be vying for playing time at the midfield positions. One of these eight players is going to have to step into the role of center midfielder that has been vacated by the graduation of Team Captain Mary senior Alison She/ton anchors the Baker. Three of back line for ,, , . the Lady Tgers the four return7 w ers have starting experience as sophomore Nicky McLeod put together a solid freshman campaign leading all Lady Tiger rookies with four goals and nine points. McLeod earned C-USA all-freshman team honors for her efforts. Junior Annika Moller has the most experience of the returning midfielders having started 28 matches including all 19 two years ago as a freshman. Moller saw her scoring drop off last season after scoring five goals as a rookie. Junior Susannah Dawells has started 17 matches in her career and should see those numbers increase as she is a top-candidate to play in the middle for the Lady Tigers. Sophomore Erin Ferris provides depth at the outside midfield slots and is one of the more vocal Lady Tigers on the field. True freshmen Katy Buckner, Brittany Strung and Melissa Savage each have the potential to earn early playing time for the Lady Tigers. Buckner, the only local product in the '03 recruiting class, made a name for herself at Germantown High School and her new coach plans on her doing the same as a center midfielder for her

Walk-on Heather Wilson did not play soccer as a freshman at Mississippi State, but was a local standout at Collierville High School two seasons ago and has a chance to work her way into the midfield rotation.

Konno add to the depth of the front line and are both offensive-minded players that Monaghan expects to play and contribute right away. Cheek was the Oregon.com high school player of the year in Oregon as a senior and Konno brings experience from the Japanese National Team to the Lady Tigers. True freshman Candace Halvorson is going to redshirt this season after suffering a knee injury during the summer.

DEFENDERS.-.Defender is the most experienced position on the field for the Lady Tigers with all four starters returning to the back line including team captain Mary Shelton. Last season, three newcomers to the back line joined Shelton to help post a school-record four shutouts in CUSA play. Team defensive player of the year Courtnee Melton anchors the right side of the back line while forward-transplant Monica Powell did an excellent job in her new role last season anchoring the left side. Melton was one of just two players who started all 20 matches for the Lady Tigers. Junior Leanne McGee returns to her sweeper spot after adjusting well in her first season of Division I soccer. Junior Jocelyn Raine, a teammate of McGee's at Lindsey Wilson College, started 17 of 19 matches last season for the Lady Tigers and will contend for playing time at both defender and midfielder. True freshman Beth Keating will have to crack an experienced back line for early plalying time, but her coach believes she has the talent to do so. An Alberta, Canada native, Keating is a physical defender who will really push for immediate playing time at both midfield and defender spots.

GOALKEEPERS.-.Senior Kari Rawe and true freshman Amy Clunie will battle for the top spot at goalkeeper this season. Whoever wins the job has to replace Wicksell, who earned second-team all-conference honors last season after posting a school-record five shutouts. Rawe does bring a bit of experience into her final season as she has seen action in 11 matches and started four. Clunie is a native of Houston, Texas, where she played keeper for the Challenge Soccer Club, which is one of the premier club teams in the state. Clunie posted 77 shutouts in matches from 1998-2002. True freshman Isabel Briones was expected to challenge Rawe and Clunie for the top goalkeeper spot as well.

^w Q & A with Head Coach Brooks Monaghan Q. LOOKING BACK OVER YOUR FIRST THREE SEASONS AS THE HEAD COACH, WHAT GIVES YOU THE SENSE THAT THIS TEAM IS REALLY CLOSE TO A BREAKOUT SEASON? "I would have to say that we are close to a breakout season whether it be this year orthe next. The reason being is I'm confident in my kids and I'm confident in my coaching staff. I'm confident in our beliefs and the direction the program is going. One of the main reasons I am so confident is we have set goals every year we have been here and we have obtained those goals. For instance, last year we set a realistic goal of making the conference tournament. The conference continues to get better each year and we made the conference tournament. This year, we'll set our goals a little bit higher. This year we hope to compete for a higher-seed in the tournament. Is it realistic to say that we'll finish as a one or two-seed, I don't know. I think we are moving in that direction though and I think if things continue to go the way they are, then we will be competing for that top spot or a conference championship in the near future." Q. WHAT HAS YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT THE UPCOMING SEASON?

"What has me most excited is our returning players. We have a great core, a great nucleus coming back from last year. We have a group that knows what it takes to get there and they know what it takes to win. They know what we have to do to get there again. I think the girls who are returning are going to set the tone. Last year, obviously we were beaten by the top-seeded team and they know how close we were to beating that top-seeded team. I think they are in the right mentality. I think the girls coming in will follow in their footsteps and hopefully help us reach our goals." Q. WHAT AREA OF THE TEAM DO YOU SEE THE MOST PROMISE IN AND WHAT AREA DO YOU THINK THE SQUAD WILL NEED TO IMPROVE THE MOST IN FROM LAST YEAR?

'The area I see the most promise in this year is from a defensive standpoint. We return our whole defense from last year and last year we were very young in the back. Everybody who played in the back last year, it was their first year playing back there besides the goalkeeper, Katarina Wicksell, who we lost. She is going to leave some big shoes to fill, but we have Kari Rawe returning, she'll be a senior. And we also have (freshman) Amy Clunie, who will be fighting for that starting position too. I think what we have to improve on the most from last year, obviously we lost some players, is our goal scoring. We lost Alison Baker, our center midfielder, we lost Rebecca Amrozowicz, who had a very successful season and both of those players combined for a high-percentage of our goals scored. But, this year's recruiting class, most of the players that I brought in are offensive-minded players, so hopefully we can fill those shoes, which are big shoes to fill. I think this year, as far as offense and

Memphis Tigers Soccer

defense, we are two-deep at every position on the field, from the players returning to the players we recruited, I think it is going to become much more competitive. I'm confident offensively and defensively, but again like I said before we do return all of our players in the back. We are going to be very experienced and be a little bit inexperienced offensively, but we brought in some great talent to hopef ullly get us to where we want to be." Q. TALK ABOUT THE LOSS OF TWO TOP GOAL SCORERS AND SENIORS WHO HAD BEEN WITH THE PROGRAM THROUGH FOUR TOUGH SEASONS AND HOW YOU FEEL THIS TEAM WILL RESPOND AND MAKE UP FOR THEIR VACANCIES?

'Through the recruiting that we did and the players we have coming in, we are confident they can respond to the challenge of replacing those to two key seniors we lost. Is it going to be tough? Yeah it's going to be tough. Hopefully the new players will gel, but they have so many different things to deal with. They are going to have very big shoes to fill, that's just part of it. Every year you lose players, but you bring players in and you hope the positives outweight the negatives. I think we have a good group coming in. We did lose ourtop-two goal scorers, but ourfocus this year was to bring in offensive-minded players and we were successful in doing that. Soccerbuzz.com recognized ourstaff as bringing in the top recruiting class in the conference and we put a lot of time into that, myself and the coaching staff, in trying to recruit those players to fill the holes that we have after losing those two players. Hopefully, we did a good enough job and only time will tell." Q. THE TEAM PLAYED WELL DOWN THE STRETCH LAST SEASON WINNING FOUR OF YOUR LAST FIVE CON-F E R E N C E MATCHES, HOW DO YOU CARRY THAT OVER INTO THIS S E A -

Junior Kirsty Marr (17) notched four game-winning goals for the Lady Tigers in 2002

â&#x20AC;˘ 2003 Media Guide

Q & A with Head Coach Brooks Monaghan "First things first. Obviously we've got to get all the kids on the same page. We have a lot of newcomers, but we do have an experienced team and a lot of our big contributors are returning. You try to prepare, you make each training session and each day a learning process. You try to keep the motivation there always. You try to remind the returners and the new players, they are part of the team too, you try to remind them of how close we were. All the games that we lost last year were pretty close games. You try to remind them of that at practices and before games. You just have to prepare yourself. When the season was over last year, I was ready to get this one started." Q. YOU HAVE ADDED 10 NEWCOMERS TO THIS YEAR'S SQUAD WHICH IS STILL RELATIVELY YOUNG WITH ONLY TWO SENIORS. WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE FRESHMAN/TRANSFER CLASS?

"I expect a lot from the freshman and transfer class. We spent a lot of time really being selective and picky on the players that we brought in for certain positions. We have some big-time players coming in. I have high expectations. You have to consider that they are first-year players and there has to be some leeway there, but as far as what I expect from them, I expect big things. I do have expectations that every kid that we have brought in, every player, can contribute to this team. Every kid that we brought in, we did our research on and I feel like we picked some winners here and all the kids will be able to contribute. There are high expectations on these kids, not to put the pressure on them, but we need them to step up." MONAGHAN ON 2003 LADY TIGER NEWCOMERS:

Isabel Briones - Goalkeeper, 5-9, Freshman "Isabel is a very talented athlete who I felt could have come in here and challenged for the starting keeper spot right away. A knee injury will force her to redshirt this season, but we expect big things from Isabel in the future." Katy Buckner- Midfielder, 5-2, Freshman "Katy is a player that has tons of talent. Very technical and a very skilled player who has great vision. She is going to compete to play one of the center-mid spots from day one. She is a definite playmaker and I expect her to contribute right off the bat."

Amy Clunie - Goalkeeper, 5-7, Freshman "She has played for one of the top club teams out of the Texas area. She will push Kari Rawe for the top spot in goal for us this season. She is a kid who is very technically sound and has spent a lot of time in between the posts. She has been well-coached and she has the ability to come in here and start." Candace Halvorson - Forward, 5-9, Freshman "She is a player who is very skillful, very technical. She will spend the fall season rehabbing her knee and be ready to go in the spring and in '04. She normally plays in the midfield, but I have told her I think she has the qualities to be a great striker and hopefully we can help turn her into a very good striker." Beth Keating - Midfielder, 5-8, Freshman "Beth is one of the only defensive-minded players we have in this group of newcomers. She is very good in the air and very tough. Technically, she is very good and has tons of experience. She is a leader as well, very vocal on the field."

Every coach wants a 'Heather' type person on their squad."

2002 Review Something positive to build on. That is the best way to sum up the 2002 season as the Lady Tigers embark on the 2003 campaign. Head Coach Brooks Monaghan does not have his program where he wants it just yet, but as he enters his fourth year, he is confident in knowing that it is heading in the right direction. "Last year was a great year for our program in a lot of ways," Monaghan said. "Our team was really young, but they battled throughout the season and ended up having one of the best years a Lady Tiger team has ever had." Monaghan led his squad to a four-game improvement in the win column last season, but more importantly guided the Lady Tigers to the Conference-USA Tournament for the first time in his tenure at the helm of the program. It was the Lady Tigers' first appearance at the league's post-season tournament since the 1997 squad reached the semifinals. The 2002 team was the first team in the program's history to finish with a .500 or better record in league play and three players were selected to All-Conference teams. Junior goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell made the second team, while senior Alison Baker earned one of the midfielder spots on the third team. Midfielder Nicky McLeod, who led all Lady Tiger rookies with nine points and four goals, was named to the All-Freshman team. "Our goal before the season started was to qualify for the Conference USA tournament and our girls worked extremely hard to achieve that," Monaghan said. "They put in a lot of long hours and were dedicated from the start to reach that goal." The journey to Charlotte, site of the 2002 C-USA Tournament, was not a smooth one for Monaghan and his Lady Tigers. It was a journey full of peaks and valleys. The Lady Tigers opened the season on one of those peaks by winning the Florida Atlantic Kick-off Classic. A 2-1 victory over host Florida Atlantic in the seasonopener was followed by a 1-1 draw with Florida International to clinch the tournament title. Senior Becca Amrozowicz scored the lone goal for the Lady Tigers and tied a school-record with 10 shot attempts in the match. The Lady Tigers registered a season-high 33 shots in the match, but could not find the back of the net for the goahead goal. Memphis returned to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex for its home opener versus Northeastern and the Lady Tigers did not disappoint. They posted a 3-0 victory over the Huskies as sophomore Leanne McGee, Baker and Memphis Tigers Soccer

McLeod each had a goal. After dropping their first match of the season in a 2-1 double-overtime loss to Evansville, the Lady Tigers bounced back to defeat SEC-foe Mississippi State 3-2 in overtime. A pair of freshmen led the offense for Memphis as midfielder Robyn Smart put the Lady Tigers on the board with her first collegiate goal and McLeod gave the home team the victory with her second goal of the season just seconds into the extra period. All the good feelings from a 3-1-1 non-conference start came to an abrupt halt as the squad dipped into a valley and dropped six of its next eight matches including a 1-4 start in C-USA play. The Lady Tigers were shut out in those four conference losses and added a 3-2 double-overtime loss to in-state rival UTMartin and a 3-0 shutout loss to No. 23 Nebraska during the stretch. Memphis did get in the win column in l e a g u e Senior Alison Baker helped lead the play with Lady Tigers to a program-record five a 3-2 win wins in Conference USA play. Baker over East led the team in goals (6) and points Carolina [15] in 2002. a n d registed a 2-1 non-conference victory over Southeast Missouri State. Following a 2-0 loss to South Florida to drop to 14 in league play, things quickly turned around for the Lady Tigers. Junior goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell anchored down the defense and led the squad to three-consecutive shutouts in league play. It was also the first three-game winning streak in C-USA play in the program's history. "I think the girls were embarrassed because they knew and I knew we were a much better team than what our record showed in the first half of league play," Monaghan said. "The girls refocused and proved to themselves that we deserved the success we had towards the end of the

• 2003 Media Guide

The University of Memphis began as a small state teacher's college. Today, The U of M is a major center for learning and research. The University of Memphis' roots date back to 1912, when radio was young, motion pictures were silent and William Howard Taft was in the White House. Named West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution's main purpose was to train and educate secondary-school teachers. It became West Tennessee State Teachers College in 1925. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSTC expanded its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name changed to Memphis State College and in 1957, the college received university status and became Memphis State University. On July 1, 1994, the name was changed to The University of Memphis. The U of M now has some 20,000 students and a campus of 1,160 acres on four different sites. The main campus lies in the center of a wide spread metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. South Campus, which was once a veteran's hospi-

The University of Memphis has the highest academic entrance requirements of any public fouryear institution in the state of Tennessee or the Mid-South. tal, is home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex and student family housing. Students and faculty members can conduct environmental research at the Edward J. Meeman Biological Field Station, which encompasses more than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields some 25 miles from the campus. The University is guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. With instruction, service and research as interdependent goals, the University commits its resources to the social, cultural and economic welfare of the region through partnerships with public and private organizations. The University of Memphis is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, first professional, master's, educational

specialist's and doctoral degrees. The University of Memphis offers bachelor's degrees in 50 majors and 70 concentrations; master's degrees in 50 majors and doctoral degrees in 18 disciplines; one specialist degree and one professional degree. The University is composed of six colleges, the Graduate School, the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, the Loewenberg School of Nursing, and the School of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. The colleges are: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Communication and Fine Arts, the Fogelman College of Business and Economics, the College of Education, the Herff College of Engineering and the University College. Reflecting its commitment to high-quality teaching and national prominence in research, The University of Memphis has five Centers of Excellence and 25 Chairs of Excellence. The University has a full-time faculty of over 700. While the University's commitment to education remains its primary focus, the campus also offers a variety of organizations, clubs, honor societies and special-interest and service groups. There are many fraternities and sororities on campus as well as a number of other clubs. Theatrical and musical productions are performed on three stages at the Communication and Fine Arts Building. The University also has its own art museum.

The U of M has recently undertaken several building projects designed to update the campus for the 21 st century. The projects include the John Wilder Student Services Tower, The Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, the FedEx Technology Institute, The Michael D. Rose Theatre Lecture Hall, the new University Center Bookstore, The Larry O. Finch Center and the Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex. The Elma Neal Roane Field House and the Health and Physical Education and Recreation Complex house a wide range of recreation facilities. Since early in the 20th century, The University of Memphis has provided quality education for students, as well as service to the community. The University continues to meet the challenges of becoming a national leader in scholarship and research.

Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Their mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. The services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey, took over the staff after spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey has recruited five new staff members, has instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and has transitioned his office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newlyrenovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a staff of six which currently includes assistant director Nicole Green, counselors Becky Kolenbrander, Bridget VanLandeghem and Maria Tyson. In addition to the full-time staff, the CAAS utilizes 10-20 tutors, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Green, who was hired May 2003, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The four counselors are assigned to specific sports, working with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. At the 2002 Fall Orientation, Dr. Luckey challenged the Center's staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. The Center made progress in that regard in the fall with the student-athlete GPAs averaging

2.67, and with seven teams earning GPAs of 3.0 or higher. All in all, 109 student-athletes earned GPAs of 3.0 or higher in the fall. Among that group, 53 were included on the U of M Deans' List for achieving GPAs of 3.5 or better. The following eight athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA: Josetta Brooks (track), Josey Edwards (golf), Rebecca Garner (tennis), Lisa Hyman (track), Nathan Orie (tennis), Scott Scherer (football), Kristan Wilson (soccer) and Heather Woolls (track).

sented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. With a qualified and dedicated staff in place, and a new spacious work area dedicated entirely to all Tiger student-athletes, Dr. Luckey expects graduation rates to climb, and well-rounded student-athletes to emerge upon their graduation from The U of M.

''WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT THE STUDENT-ATHLETE AND THAT THEY ARE AS SUCCESSFUL IN THE AS THEY ARE IN COMPETITION," The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 upon the completion of the Wilder Tower. In addition to the CAAS, the Wilder Tower will house the offices of admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area will support 31 student computer stations, 17 offices and several study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only, and were taught by Dr. Luckey and Kolenbrander last fall. The class was so well received that a third section will be offered in 2003 so that all freshman studentathletes can be included in the course. The two sections last year were attended by 55 student-athletes, including all freshmen in football, men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball. Students who participated in the class earned an average of 15.4 credit hours, and an average GPA of 3.045. Three academic programs are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes at The U of M. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earn grade point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade point average on each team, and then the next best group of athletes, totaling 30 athletes. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is pre-

One of the newer programs benefitting student-athletes at The University of Memphis is the Life Skills program which is under the direction of former Tiger track athlete Trece Hayslett. The Life Skills program assists the student-athlete in areas pertaining to social skills, resume writing and job interviews, community relations, campus life and peer pressure.

Treee Hayslett D/rector

The Student-Athlete Committee, a student-advisory board for the Life Skills Program, has sponsored a wide variety of events such as a student-athlete picnic to open the school year, and community involvement projects like working with Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tiger Tots, Feed the Needy and many more.

1 The Tiger Strength and Conditioning facility, which is located next to the newly remodeled indoor turf room in the south campus1 Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex, opened in January 1993 and serves each of the University's intercollegiate sports programs. Under the direction of head strength and conditioning coach Mike Stark, assistant coach Lee Yerty, and several graduate ass istants, all of the Tiger athI e t i c teams, except men's a n d women's basketball and the Tiger Mike Stark tennis Head Strength Coach teams, work on improving their physical conditioning at the Murphy Athletic Complex. Other teams train at the Larry O. Finch Center on the U of M's main campus with assistant strength coach Ray Oliver. Stark, a former Tiger football player, has worked with numerous professional football players, including the Phoenix Cardinal's Marcus Bell and Michael Stone, Indianapolis Colt's safety Idrees Bashir and St. Louis Rams All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. The 10,500-square foot varsity weightroom is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Workouts are designed and supervised by one of the Strength and Conditioning staffs certified specialists, and each student-athlete's individual progress is projected via computerized database. The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom line objectives. The weightroom's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and

'1(1

power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, glute/ham 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/rest rooms; 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, n e w comers b e g i n 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. This year Vic Cummins and J.C. Moreau will join Stark and Yerty as graduate assistants. Moreau, who will be entering his second year at the U of M, is a native of Quebec, Canada, and a graduate of Colgate University. He lettered for three years in football at Colgate and received his degree in History and Education in 2000. Moreau served as the head strength and conditioning coach at Lafayette College for two years where he was responsible for 23 Division I sports. Cummins is a graduate of East Central Oklahoma University where he lettered in football. A native of Norman, Okla., Cummins also attended the University of Oklahoma.

Stark works on the fitness needs of Tiger student-athletes on a <aily basis.

i The University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-none when it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive quality care in the areas of athletic injury rehabilitation and preventative care. A n d now with the new renovation of Murphy Athletic Complex training facility, the Memphis student-athlete can Ed Cantler be asHead Trainer sured of receiving the best medical attention and rehabilitation available. The Murphy Athletic Complex training room has been redesigned and reconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of south campus. The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of the old training room, contains an in-ground aquatic reha-

phis, supervises the Tigers' sports medicine program. Cantler, who has served as the head trainer since 1980, is assisted by two full-time certified athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18 student trainers. Assistant athletic trainer Mike Rodrigues is in his second season working with the volleyball and women's basketball team and assisting with the football and spring sports programs. Rodrigues has served as an athletic trainer at Mississippi State, and Army and was the head trainer for the Memphis Maniax of the XFL. He has spent two years handling the training needs of Bartlett High School in Memphis, while working for Baptist Hospital's Sports Medicine Clinic. Jennifer Bricker, who served as a graduate assistant under Cantler, was hired as the trainer for men's basketball and is now entering her second year in that capacity. She is a 1997 graduate of Anderson University in Indiana and has received her master's degree from the University of Memphis in exercise and sports science. The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and generous team doctors who are available to the many studentathletes at the University of Memphis. Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar, and Dr. Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the orthopedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas Meriwether and Dr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Dr. Allen Sills serves as the team's neurosurgeon.

Tiger athletes are fortunate to have the two largest privately owned hospital systems in the world located in Memphis. Baptist Hospital and Methodist Hospital offer the finest in healthcare to area residents and handle the care of Memphis athletes. The athletic training staff is one support group that the athletic teams cannot do without. They are responsible for staffing all practices and games as well as handling the day-to-day rehabilitation of injured or postsurgery 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.

Considered 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 Mid-America. 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 downto-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 of 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 have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. From B.B. King's to the Daisy Theatre, from Elvis' Place to the Hard Rock Cafe, from Pat O'Briens to the Rum Boogie Cafe, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekendlong 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 opened in 2002. The 300,000 square foot retail complex offers visitors a one-stop-shop for fun and excitement with a unique mix of entertainment, dining and shop-

ping options unlike anything else in the region. The complex features a 22-screen movie theater and 3D IMAX as well as several theme restaurants, including Jillian's, which is a multi-dimensional entertainment venue complete with a bowling alley, billiards, a sports video cafe', and more than 150 electronic stimulation games. Also loc a t e d 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 Hi-Records 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. The Stax Museum reopened on it's original location at McLamore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of 'Soulsville USA". 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 Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley's Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in America after the

The City of Memphis White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the refurbished Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling broadway shows as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. Highlights for 2003 at the Orpheum include the broadway hit The Lion King, which will run for six weeks, and the sold-out Nora Jones concert. The city's location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting in the city. Memphis is also

home of FedEx, the nation's largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world's busiest cargo airport in the world. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day. Memphis is also a twice daily stop by Amtrak's City of New Orleans which runs from Chicago to New Orleans.

Whether it's cheering on the University of Memphis Tigers, catching a Redbirds game downtown or following the touring professionals at the PGA FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic, when it comes to sports, the city of Memphis offers something for everyone. The University of Memphis plays all of its home football games in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, which also plays host to the annual Liberty Bowl game, pitting the Conference USA regular season champion against the Mountain West Conference champion. The Tigers' basketball games are played in The Pyramid, which played host to the NCAA Basketball Championship South Region First and Second Rounds in the spring of 2001. In 2000, The Pyramid was the host venue for the NCAA Women's Mideast Regional Basketball championship. The Lady Tiger basketball and volleyball teams have a definite home-court advantage playing in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse which is located in the center of the university's main campus. The fieldhouse has recently undergone a renovation that saw the addition of new chairback seating for fans. The Lady Tiger basketball team has begun to play as many as three basketball games a season in The Pyramid. The Memphis Redbirds are in their fourth season in the 14,320 seat Autozone Park. The Redbirds are the only not-for-profit team in the country. All operating profits are put back into The Memphis Redbirds Baseball Foundation, which funds two youth baseball programs, RBI (Returning Baseball to the Inner City) and STRIPES (Sports Teams Returning In the Public Education System). The Tiger baseball team was fortunate in being able to move a part of its 2002 and 2003 home baseball games to Autozone Park. In an agreement with Redbirds management, the Tigers were able to play 16 events in the AAA park in the spring of 2002. Memphis held six contests at the downtown facility in 2003. Very few college teams play in a facility that is considered the equivalent of most major league parks. This year's 46th annual FedEx St. Jude Classic continues to be one of the longest, continuous running sporting events in the city's history. The tournament adopted St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital as its beneficiary in 1970. Federal Express Cor-

t Id poration joined the tournament as the sponsor in 1986 and to date the event has generated over $14.0 million towards fighting childhood catastrophic diseases. Past champions of the FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic have included such noted players as Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Hal Sutton, Tom Kite, Nick Price and Curtis Strange.

Professional T&nnis, Professional Baseball, Ice Hockey, NCAA and more. For race fans, there is Memphis Motorsports Park with it's four distinctive racing venues. MMP features a %-mile paved oval which plays host to a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event in the summer and a NASCAR Busch Series race in the fall. The track's quarter-mile dragstrip plays host to an NHRA event in October. The park also features a quarter-mile dirt oval as well as a road course. The Kroger St. Jude is one of only nine championship-level tennis tournaments in North America and one of only two in the world to be held in a private club. For 26 years, the sport's brightest stars have come to Memphis and have voted the February tournament among their favorite stops world-

wide on the ATP Tour. The event has brought to Memphis such noted players as Pete Sampras, Andre Aggassi, Michael Chang and Stephen Edberg. In Oc- tiifttt mi tober of 2001, M e m phis became a member of the N B A family when the Vancouver Grizzlies moved their franchise to The Pyramid. The NBA team plays over 40games per season in the city and offers citizens a chance to see such noted professional players as Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett. The Grizzlies will move from The Pyramid to the FedEx Forum in the fall of 2004. The new arena is currently under construction in the Beale Street area and is expected to draw even more fans to downtown and the city's entertainment districts of Beale Street and

There are also 230 parks (totaling over 23,000 acres), 17 public swimming pools, 26 community centers, 14 country clubs, 80 public tennis courts and 108 hotels and motels (totaling 13,633 rooms). In the spring of 2003, the city of Memphis served as the host site for the TSSAA Spring Fling which brought over 2,000 high school athletes and their families to Memphis for the state of Tennessee spring sports championships. Teams from across Tennessee came to the city to compete in the baseball, tennis, track and softball championships.

The University of Memphis campus served as the home base for the athletes and competition sites included The U of M's Nat Buring Baseball Stadium, AutoZone Park, USA Baseball Stadium in Millington, the Briarcrest Athletic Complex and Christian Brothers University's baseball field.

AutoZone Park serves as the home of the Memphis Redbirds baseball team, the AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. The University of Memphis Tiger baseball team plays several games a year at AutoZone Park.

M/HK 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. ' For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for 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 High-

III I

land 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 separately, 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.

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

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 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".
