Back to Work: Tigers Aim for Loftier Goals in '05 1 ot much has changed from last year for the University of Memphis men's soccer team. Although the program is coming off its best season in school history, the team's approach remains the same. "Last year we played with the purpose to prove that we are a really good team," said Memphis head coach Richie Grant. "It was a team that was highly motivated and achieved a taste of success as a result. Our players want to continue with those experiences. They want to advance the program to a higher level than where we currently are. We're well aware that there is a lot more for us to do." After winning both the Conference USA regular and tournament championships in 2004, Memphis plans to build on its success with an experienced and talented team in a competitive realigned conference. In 2004, Grant took a team comprised of 14 freshmen and turned it into the lOth-most improved team in the nation from 2003. This year the Tigers again have a large freshman group with 10 signees joining the squad in the fall, but the team returns several sophomores with championship-playing experience and six upperclassmen with proven leadership abilities. "The quality and maturity of the players will ultimately determine the success of the team," Grant said. "We have a great balance of experienced veteran players mixed in with young players that played last year and got

to experience winning a conference tournament." COACHES Richie Grant enters his seventh season as the head coach at Memphis. In 2004, the Ireland native received his second C-USA Coach of the Year Award. Grant is 6145-6 with the Tigers and his .571 winning percentage is the highest ever at the U of M. The former Lambuth head coach has a 114-74-8 overall record through 10 seasons. Returning to the coaching staff is Robert Nicholson, who enters his third year at Memphis, and Carl Schmitt, who is in his second year. Remco de Jong joins the staff this year as a volunteer goalkeeper coach. "The coaching staff has taken on some consistency now that we've been together for a full campaign last year," Grant said. "The players are very comfortable FORWARDS After successful junior with the staff. They know the All-American expectations that we have campaigns, for them. All the coaches senior Dayton O'Brien know our roles within the and All-Conference senior Andy Metcalf provide a program." dangerous duo for the Tigers the f o r ward position.

Also proving he could be a potent threat up front, sophomore Marcus McCarty began and ended the season strong, scoring eight goals while missing the middle of the season due to a broken ankle. Senior Cormac McArdle played the forward position for the Tigers in the spring and has the potential to put up big numbers as well. Freshman Kyle Minter will also be given the opportunity to play with the group. "As a coach, you try to make sure you have good options," Grant said. "There's tremendous competition at the forward position this year, which was the foundation of our success last year. Up front we feel like we have options, and we have the ability to move some of those players into other positions as well."

h. MIDFIELDERS

DEFENDERS

Memphis lost two of its four starting midfielders in team captain Daniel Dobson and John Reilly, but return sophomore Adam Montgomery/ a C-USA All-Freshman Team selection in 2004. Also returning is senior Stephen Cooling, who played 16 games in the center of the park and scored three goals with two assists. Wide on the left, Grant will look to McArdle, who played well at the position when healthy last year. However, O'Brien and McCarty are also an option at the spot. The departure of Reilly has left a wide hole on the right, but sophomore Jared Britcher has been impressive in the position during the spring. Freshmen Tripp Parkins, Patrick Elkins, Brian Dooley, Robert Sausaman and Grant Wise will also compete for playing time in the midfleld, creating plenty of competition for the four positions.

The defense returns two of the four starters from last year in sophomore Michael Coburn at right fullback and senior All-Conference USA player Gary Connolly anchoring the defense. Memphis loses an experienced center defender in Justin Dyer, but Grant believes he will have several options to fill the void. Coburn has the potential to move to the center to replace Dyer and freshmen Thomas Hyland, Jordan Lynn, Frank Judice and Tomo Koyano as well as sophomore Patrick Ahern, who transfered from Evansville, will all be given chances to step into the opening voids.

GOALKEEPERS The Tigers' most un proven area is at goalkeeper with two sophomores fighting for the starting job after the departure of last year's C-USA Defender of the Year Sebastian Vecchio. Gavin Mclnerney

saw time in four games last year as a freshman and has yet to allow a goal through 130 minutes of play. Six-footfive sophomore Tyler Strom saw time in three games last year with two starts. Strom compiled a 1-0-1 record with 1.13 goals against average in 239 minutes of action with nine saves. "We have two good goalkeepers who will have tremendous competition for the starting job," Grant said. "That decision will be made on a week-to-week basis, but we believe they are both capable of helping us win a championship. They've come in and done well in the spring, and they are anchored by a good defense. "It's a great time to be a goalkeeper here," Grant Added. "Our team defending is quite well. But we will still need them to come up big for us the way Sebastian did for us last year."

UCF and new affiliate members South Carolina and FIU. Marshall and affiliate member Kentucky also make up the 10-team conference. "We're really pleased about the strength of our schedule this year and the variety of schools that we play in and out of conference," Grant said. "As the conference changed, you're always hoping you maintain a good schedule. We were very fortunate that the schools that merged in the new C-USA brought about a very exciting men's soccer league."

SCHEDULE A new alignment of CUSA in 2005 has created one of the best soccer conferences in the nation. The conference has a new look with only Memphis, UAB and East Carolina remaining from last year. Added are five schools who competed in the 2004 NCAA Tournament in Tulsa, SMU,

Senior defender Gary Connolly


ntering his seventh year at the helm of the University of Memphis m e n ' s soccer program, Richie Grant has begun to build a reputation as one of the finest coaches in the nation. Grant has shown an uncanny ability to recruit a steady flow of talent from the southern region of the United States, while bringing in solid players from Europe to form competitive teams. After finishing ninth two years in a row in Conference USA, the 35-year-old Dublin, Ireland, native guided the Tigers to their first conference regular season and tournament titles in 2004. With a young squad that included 14 freshmen, Grant brought the Memphis program to new heights as the team finished with its most season victories ever with a 164-1 record and was the No. 11 most-improved team in the nation. The team's .786 win-loss-

Tigers Showcase Talent in Holland and Belgium Coming off its best season in school history, the University of Memphis men's soccer team showcased its talent on a 10day tour of Europe in May. "It's a big undertaking with raising the money and organizing the trip, but it's just a great experience anytime you get to travel to a foreign country," said Memphis head coach Richie Grant. "We had the opportunity to go back to Europe where futbol is one of the most popular sports, and we had a chance to watch professional games. We played against teams that have a very high standard. The cultural differences alone were a great experience for our guys." Memphis began the trip with a 3-0 victory over Excel-

sior-Rotterdam. The Tigers then played Royal Antwerp FC, beating the Manchester United feeder club 2-0. Marcus McCarty and Cormac McArdle scored the two goals late in the first half on assists from Harrison Kiser and Dayton O'Brien. Memphis ended the trip with a 3-2 victory over STW Sint-Truiden in Belgium. The game felt eerily similar to the Conference USA Championship game against UAB in 2004. Down 2-0 at the half, Andy Metcalf, Harrison Kise and Jared Britcher scored goals in the second half to give the Ti gers their European sweep. NCAA rules allow a team to travel during its off-season on a foreign tour once every fou years.

/ The 2004 season went down as a record-setting year for the Memphis women's soccer program. The Lady Tigers tied a school record for victories with 11 and also set a school record for goals-against average in a season. Memphis and its individual players also garnered numerous awards over the season, the most in any one season in school history. Memphis compiled an overall record of 11-8-0 and a 5-5-0 mark in Conference USA, which included a 4-1 start to the conference schedule. The Tigers also started the season strong, putting up a 7-2 mark in the month of September. However, for all of the good things that happened in early 2004, the season did not end as Memphis had hoped. The Tigers had to win their final game of the regular season in double overtime to assure themselves of a Conference USA Tournament berth. The Tigers then lost to eventual conference champion UAB in the quarterfinals. The Tigers will be looking to use the 2005 season to continue building on the positive aspects of the 2004 campaign and to advance further in the postseason. To do so, they will need to replace five of their top six point producers, a goalkeeper that started 15 of 19 games, and two starting defenders. Memphis returns 10 players from last year's team as well as a former all-conference player that redshirted last year. The Tigers add 15 newcomers to the team, including 14 freshmen and a sophomore transfer that was an NAIA AllAmerican last year as a freshman. The talented recruiting class of 2005 was ranked the 27th best in the country by Soccer Buzz. Memphis will also be faced with the challenge of playing in a much-improved Conference USA, which welcomes six new members for the 2005-06 school year. Three of those new members qualified for the NCAA Tournament last year, giving the conference four NCAA participants from 2004 in its ranks. Forwards Although the Tigers lost five of their top six point scorers and four of their five top goal scorers, scoring goals might not be as much of a problem as might be expected from a team that was hit with such heavy losses on the offensive end. This is be-

cause of the expected contributions from both veterans and newcomers. Junior Shoko Mikami, who transfered to Memphis last year after leading Division II in goals, goals per game, and points per game in 2003 at Christian Brothers University, injured her knee in spring workouts last year and was forced to miss the b* first eight games last fall. She w returned in time for the conference season, but never was able to play at 100 percent and recorded just one goal and one assist while starting just three games. After having a tremendous spring this year (nine goals in nine exhibition games), Mikami looks to have a full healthy season and recapture her 2003 form. "We have high expectations for Shoko this year," said head coach Brooks Monaghan. "It was Conduce Halvorson not that realistic to have high expectations for her last year with her coming off her injury. However, she had a great spring and proved to be the type of player we thought we were getting when she came here. She will only get better, and we expect her to contribute a lot more and be a big factor in our offense." Another native of Japan that put up lofty offensive numbers in her previous collegiate stop should also figure heavily into the Tiger offensive attack. Asuka Kubota, a sophomore transfer from NAIA Martin Methodist College in Pulaski, Tenn., was an NAIA AilAmerican last year after scoring 18 goals and recording 22 assists in just 15 games. She will also figure to play a major role in the offense. "Asuka is an all-around talented player who we expect to contribute immediately," said Monghan. "She can play forward or midfield, and she brings international experience with her. She has a knack for scoring goals and we expect her to be a big part of our offense." Another player that had a strong spring ex-

the lone recruit to join the Tigers this year from the Memphis area, and her gritty style of play figures to earn her some minutes on defense as well. Goalkeepers Natalie Haerens, who set three single-season school records last year as a freshman, elected not to return to Memphis, leaving the Tigers with one returnee and one newcomer to compete for the position between the pipes. Isabel Briones is in her third year in the program after redshirting with an injury her first season. She saw action in five games last year, starting four, and compiled a 1.23 goals-against average in just over 365 minutes, helping contribute to the Tigers' all-time low team GAA. She also had one shutout. She showed a great deal of improvement during the spring exhibition season, recording five shutouts. "Isabel will only be a sophomore eligibility-wise, but she now has the maturity of an upperclassman, having sat out her first year here," explained Monaghan. "She has matured tremendously since she first got here and had a great spring. As of the end of the spring, she has earned the goalkeeper spot and has proven that she has the ability to take on a starting role. However, she will have to keep a hold on it because it will be a competition once practice starts." Incoming freshman Caroline Allen will compete with Briones for the starting role, and she comes to Memphis with some impressive credentials. The Gatorade Player of the Year in Arkansas last year, the Little Rock native has been a member of the Olympic Development Program Region III team the last four years.

Schedule In addition to the tougher Conference USA schedule featuring three NCAA Tournament teams from last year, Memphis will also once again play a schedule that includes a heavy regional flavor. The schedule includes 10 home games, all of which will be played at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, seven road games and one neutral field game. The non-conference slate features four opponents from the Ohio Valley Conference, two from the Missouri Valley, two from the Southeastern and one from the Sun Belt.

ÂŁ / Brooks Monaghan Head Coach - Sixth Season Memphis, 1994 Head coach Brooks Monaghan has been involved with the Memphis women's soccer program ever since its inception back in 1995. Now entering his sixth year as head coach, Monaghan led the Lady Tigers to 11 wins last year, tied for the most in school history, and has the program pointed in the right direction with the addition of a nationally-ranked recruiting class this year. Monaghan, who led Memphis back to the Conference USA Tournament last year after a one-year absence in 2003, will be looking to guide the Lady Tiger program to back-toback appearances in the tournament for the first time since the 1996-97 seasons. The team will also be looking for its third appearance in the last four seajrfl^ sons. flHIA Last year, Monaghan guided W ^ f*j the Tigers to their best start in program history, a 7-2 mark through their first nine games that encompassed the month of Sep^ tember. Memphis would go on \( vV to fimsn wim an H-8 record il V^ anc* a ^ mark in Confer// j \ ence USA. The 11 wins tied for the most in school history, and the overall winning percentage of .579 set a school record. Memphis recorded a 7-2 mark on its home field. The Tigers also had four players honored by C-USA on its all-conference squads, the most ever in school history. For the second straight year, a Memphis player was named to both the National Soccer Coaches' Association of America (NSCAA) and Soccer Buzz All-Central Region squads, the first time in program history that it has had an all-region selection in back-to-back years. Leanne McGee, the aforementioned all-region player, also became

the second Lady Tiger in as many years to garner first team all-conference honors, only the second time in program history that Memphis has had two CUSA first teamers in successive seasons. Additionally, Monaghan's Tigers also garnered more Conference Player of the Week awards than in any previous season. His team's success not limited to just the field either, Monaghan's Tigers were also the recipient of an NSCAA women's soccer team academic award last year for their work in the classroom, totaling a 3.21 team grade-point average for the 2003-04 school year. Two players, current senior Robyn Smart and Annika Moller, were named to the CoSIDA District IV All-Academic teams and another, current senior Courtnee Melton, was named to an NSCAA/Adidas Regional Scholar-Athlete team. All of these accolades came following a 2003 season in which the Tigers went 5-10-3, as eight of their 10 losses were by one goal. The Tigers' improvement of four games in the 2004 season was one of the top 25 turnarounds in the country and was also the greatest improvement from one season to the next in school history. Monaghan's 2002 squad improved by three-and-a-half games and won four more contests than it had the season before. His 2002 team was the first squad in program history to finish with at least a .500 record in conference play, and the Tigers managed that feat by winning four of their last five C-USA games en route to qualifying for their first C-USA Tournament under Monaghan and their first since 1997. This followed the disappointing 2001 season, which was much like the 2003 campaign, as it saw the Tigers lose nine games by one goal in finishing 5-13-1. Monaghan's 2000 team, his first as head coach, went 9-11, which was an overall improvement of three games from the 1999 season. It also saw the Tigers win four more games than the previous year. Prior to him becoming head coach in 2000, Monaghan served as the goalkeeper coach under his predecessor, Les Szabo, for five seasons from the program's beginning in 1995. A former goalkeeper in his playing days, his tutelage helped decrease the team's goals-against average from 2.74 in the program's first year in 1995 to 1.77 in his final year as


an assistant. As head coach, he continued coaching the goalkeepers up until this year, and last season, helped freshman goalkeeper Natalie Haerens record a school record six shutouts and a record 1.18 goals-against average. The team had seven shutouts, which equaled a team record for shutouts in a season, and he also helped the team set a school record by recording a team GAA of 1.19. Further proving his merit as an outstanding goalkeeper instructor, he recruited goalie and Arkansas High School Gatorade Player of the Year Caroline Allen to come to Memphis beginning this year. Monaghan began his coaching career after a standout playing career at Memphis. After playing at the University of Evansville his freshman year, Monaghan transferred to Memphis and made his mark on the Tiger record books. He still holds the school records for career shutouts (24), career GAA (1.40), single-season shutouts (11) and single-season GAA (0.80). His 298 career saves rank second all-time. He was named first team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992 in helping lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title. He was named the Great Midwest Conference Championship Defensive MVP in 1993 in leading the Tigers to an outright conference title and the program's first-ever berth in the NCAA Tournament. His 38 career wins as a goalkeeper is also a school record. A former prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan's collegiate play helped earn him a spot on the U.S. Under-20 National Squad. Monaghan also played professionally for the New Orleans Gamblers in the USISL from 1995-96 and with the Memphis Express in 2002. This year will make Monaghan the longest tenured wom-

Jodi Fisher Assistant Coach - Fifth Season Memphis, 1999 Just like head coach Brooks Monaghan, Jodi Fisher has been a part of the Memphis women's soccer program every day since its inception. A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Fisher is entering her fifth season in her current position of assistant coach. Prior to that, she served as a graduate assistant coach for one season and as a volunteer assistant coach for one season, which was preceded by a four-year playing career for the Tigers. Fisher began her career at the U of M as a player on the inaugural Lady Tiger squad in 1995. She played four seasons, and in 79 career games, compiled school records that still stand today for career goals (33), points (92), and shots (178). She also is the co-holder of the record for most assists in a game (4) and is second all-time in school history in assists in both a season (11) and career (26). A third team All-Conference USA selection as a junior in 1997, Fisher was also named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 1995. At the conclusion of her playing days, Fisher spent one year as a volunteer assistant coach in 1999. She then accepted a position as a graduate assistant coach and served in that role for the 2000 season, helping in the transition from former head coach Les Szabo to Monaghan. She was named a full-time assistant coach prior to the 2001 season. In addition to helping Monaghan with on-field coaching duties and recruiting, Fisher has also played an instrumental part in the Tigers' success in the classroom. The 2002 squad had a combined grade-point average of 3.08, and 92 percent of the team's members were named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll, which was best among U of M athletic teams. The last two seasons, Memphis was the recipient of the women's soccer team academic award from the NSCAA, and last year had three different players garner individual academic awards. This past spring, the women's soccer team posted a team GPA of 3.434, the highest ever for a single semester in program history. Fisher earned her undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sport Science from Memphis in 1999 and also earned her master's degree in Student Personnel Services from Memphis in 2002. She is single and resides in Memphis.

Amy Morrison Volunteer Assistant Coach First Season Kansas, 1999 After being away from college soccer for the last two seasons, Amy Morrison returns to the collegiate sidelines as she begins her first year as a volunteer assistant coach for the Tigers. Morrison has previously served as an assistant coach at both Kansas and Texas Tech. Morrison had been the head coach of the Kansas Olympic Development Program State team for the last two seasons and also coached a club team, the KCFC Dynamos, in the Kansas City area. Her last college coaching job came in 2002 when she served as a volunteer assistant at her alma mater, Kansas. Prior to her coaching stint in Lawrence, she held the post of assistant coach at Texas Tech for two seasons in 2000-01. A three-year letterwinner and a two-time captain for the Jayhawks from 1995-97, she was a member of the inaugural women's soccer squad at Kansas in 1995. Prior to her time at KU, she played her freshman season at Tulsa. While at KU, she also interned with the SWA and the soccer program in 1998. Morrison was awarded the National Coaching Diploma in 1998 and the Advanced National Coaching Diploma in 1999 from the National Soccer Coaches Association. Originally a native of Omaha, Nebraska, Morrison received her bachelor's and master's degrees in Exercise Science from Kansas in 1999 and 2004, respectively. She is married to Nic Morrison and the couple resides in Memphis. -*O^

Sebastian Vecchio Goalkeeper Coach First Season Memphis, 2005 After completing his career with the Memphis men's soccer team last year in which he helped lead the Tigers to a Conference USA Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament, Sebastian Vecchio steps over into the coaching ranks and to the women's program, where he joins the Lady Tigers as an assistant coach in charge of goalkeepers. Vecchio allowed just 12 goals in over 1,500 minutes of play last year for a 0.69 goals-against average en route to being named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-C-USA first team. He was a two-year starter for the Tigers after transfering to Memphis from NAIA Mid-Continent College in Kentucky. The native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, ended his Tiger career with a 1.02 career goals-against average and 21 wins in two seasons. He also previously played with the Argentina U-16 National Team.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS

' i >\ _-*_ *.

An overall successful season ended for the Memphis women's soccer team with a 4-1 loss to eventual Conference USA Tournament &VA. champion UAB in the quarterfinals of the league's postseason classic. The Blazers would eventually go on to the NCAA Tournament and upset Wake Forest in the first round before bowing \ out to Tennessee in the second ^_ round. The Tigers had the best start to a season in program history, winning four of their first five games and putting together a 7-2 record through the month of September, which included the program's first win over regional rival Ole Miss since 2001 and just the second in program history. The win in Oxford also broke the Rebels' streak of 16 straight non-conference home wins and 22 straight nonconference home games without a loss, a streak that spanned since the 1999 season. Memphis ended the month of Sep- Annika Mailer tember by defeating defending conference champion DePaul in the Tigers' home opener, giving Memphis a 2-0 record against teams that had participated in the 2003 NCAA Tournament. Memphis also started its Conference USA schedule 41 and were in a tie for second place on October 10. From there, however, the Tigers lost four straight, including two by one goal, and found themselves needing to win their final game of the year against Cincinnati to qualify for the CUSA Tournament. In an exciting double overtime game, the Tigers topped the Bearcats 1-0 in as senior Monica Powell scored her first goal of the year as the game-winner on the first assist of the year from senior Leanne McGee. The win propelled the Tigers into the C-USA Tournament for the first time since 2002. All of the success was possible despite the Tigers missing two of their top players from 2003. Yuiko Konno and

Nicky McLeod, a pair of first-team All-C-USA selections from 2003 and expected to play large parts on the 2004 squad, both missed the season. Konno was not granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA after she had transferred to Memphis from a school in Japan, and McLeod redshirted while continuing to recover from knee surgery after tearing an ACL during the spring season. Despite the tough way that the year ended in St. Louis, Memphis tied a school record for wins in a season and set a school record for winning percentage.

HE UNIVERSITY OF

MEMPHIS Dreamers. Thinkers. Doers. or almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of MemI phis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologically-sawy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while

I

state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major^ professors at European universities; they come herettd^ study subjects that are offered nowhere else,Jthey come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific^ communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our "people assets" have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact

he 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 maitl purpose was to 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 Ls school's name changed to Memphis State College, and in 1957, the college re7 • ceived university status and became Memphis State versity. On July 1, 1994, the name was changed he University of Memphis. The U of M now has more than 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 hospital, is home to the Billy 1 Murphy

WEIGHT- ROOM - HIGHLIGHTS The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is ^equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so jthat groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff's certified specialists, and each student-athlete's ized 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 weight room's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 selfcontained Olympic platforms and 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 movements. equipped with dressing/rest rooms; is naturally illuminated; and is maintained at a constant 70<

And now with the new renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex training facility, the Memphis student-athlete can be assured 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 rehabilitation pool which allows trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the student-athlete support his/her own body weight.
