TIGERS
PREVIEW
TIGER SOCCER
Moving Forward
T
he 2007 Tigers are poised for a run at the Conference USA title. Having lost only one starter to graduation, a rising group of 10 juniors and seniors will lead a talented and experienced group of underclassmen through a tough conference schedule on the road to Birmingham. The Tigers return 16 letterwinners, 10 of them starters, for the 2007 season. Following a 2006 campaign which showed incredible promise, this balanced and seasoned crew looks to build on last year’s early success—eight wins in the first 10 matches and a spot among the top 20 teams in the nation. With key additions to the roster, the Tigers will feature essentially the same talent that carried them to a No. 15 national ranking last fall. That talent has gained critical experience, and with it, the confidence to push ahead through the difficult conference matches that dominate the second half of the schedule. “We’re really pleased to have so many returning players that have had invaluable experience with the schedule that we played last year—the toughest schedule that we’ve played, certainly since I’ve been here,” said head coach Richie Grant. “We have a similar schedule to face this year.” Grant and the Tigers will rely on the core group of upperclassmen to lead the team. Three members of the 2007 squad—Jared Britcher, Adam Montgomery and Tyler Strom—were on the 2004 Conference USA championship team and have seen first-hand what is required to win a conference championship. Add to that mix the talent brought by juniors Tripp Harkins, Jordan Lynn and Robert Sausaman and by transfers Sean Goulding and Kevin Walsh, the 2006 C-USA newcomer of the year, and you have the heart of the Memphis roster. “The focus of the team is the maturity of the squad,” Grant said. “The players that are returning have had good experience playing a tough schedule. You can’t give that experience to a good freshman.”

The Tigers saw further development in their spring season, which was capped by a 2-1 victory over the United Soccer League’s Atlanta Silverbacks. Former Tiger stars Dayton O’Brien and Andy Metcalf were on the professional team’s roster and competed against their former coach and teammates. Success against professional competition shows the talent level showcased by the

Memphis squad and creates a favorable prospect for the 2007 season. C O A C H E S Grant begins his ninth season at the helm of Memphis program. His .561 winning percentage is the highest in Tiger soccer history. The two-time Conference USA Coach of the Year is just 21 wins shy of becoming the winningest coach in program history. Grant came to the University of Memphis from Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., where he won three conference titles in four years. Goalkeeper coach Remco De Jong, who has trained the Tiger keepers the past two seasons, returns to lead the netminders again in 2007. The newest addition to the coaching staff is former Tiger standout Nick Glaser. Previously serving as an assistant at the University of Dayton, Glaser brings a wealth of experience and energy to the program. He will be instrumental in the recruiting process in addition to his duties as the assistant coach. G O A L K E E P E R S The Tigers return two experienced keepers for 2007 in Tyler Strom and Michael Goodlett. Strom, a senior, led Conference USA goalkeepers his sophomore season with an .815 save percentage. Last year Strom split time with Goodlett, a junior from Bolton, Miss. Coach Grant experimented with the position all season, and heading into 2007, both will be expected to contribute. Both keepers have been putting in extra time during the off-season. While Strom traveled to Argentina for extra training, Goodlett worked with a professional development league in Jackson, Miss. The Tigers added depth to the keeper squad with freshman recruit Keagan Graham, a Memphis native who played at Christian Brothers High School. During his senior campaign, Graham allowed only 11 goals in 23 games, recorded 14 shutouts, and posted a 0.60 goals against average while leading his team to the state championship match.

M I D F I E L D E R S Another experienced group—three juniors and a senior—comprises the heart of the Tiger midfield. Tripp Harkins was the team’s second-leading scorer last season. He found the net on seven occasions and assisted three times for a total of 17 points. Sean Goulding scored four goals and assisted on three. Adam Montgomery and Jordan Lynn add a good defensive presence to the midfield. Sophomore J.R. Romero spent the off-season in a professional development league, and with Erik Turjillo—a redshirt freshman last season—will add considerable depth and a defensive presence to the midfield.
F O R W A R D S The Tigers return each starting forward from last season. Kevin Walsh led the Tigers with 10 goals and seven assists in 2006. Walsh was selected the newcomer of the year and named to the All C-USA second team. He also was named to the College Soccer News Team of the Week and the Soccer America Team of the Week, as well as the C-USA offensive player of the week, for the week ending Sept. 17. Jared Britcher will complement Walsh up top and provide leadership for sophomore Brian Farrell, who was an integral part of last year’s offense. Farrell scored four goals with two assists in 2006 and should continue to improve this season. S C H E D U L E Coach Grant has another difficult schedule lined up for the 2007 season. After opening the season at home against the up-and-coming Louisville Cardinals, the Tigers will travel to California to face Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge. Also dotting the schedule are perennial powerhouses Creighton and SMU as well as the UAB Blazers, who made their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001 a year ago. Like last year, the second half of the season features primarily tough C-USA matches. “I don’t think we’ve ever had an easy conference game,” said Grant. “We certainly didn’t last year, so we don’t expect it to be any different this year.” Among the toughest conference match-ups, two are at home. Kentucky comes to Memphis October 13 and South Carolina on Oct. 20, but Memphis travels to Tulsa, SMU and UAB. Faring well against conference competition will be one key to success for the Tigers this season. To fulfill any expectation to do well, Coach Grant has placed responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the upperclassmen. “The core group of leaders has to take a big, big responsibility with this team. They have to call on their experiences from the last two or three years for us to be successful,” he said.

Offensive and defensive balance is the trademark of the Tiger midfield. Harkins, Walsh and Goulding will provide the attacking presence needed to create goal-scoring opportunities while Montgomery, Lynn and Sausaman will look to shut down opponent attacks at midfield. FORWARDS Returning Starters

The Tigers will look to Britcher and Farrell to spark the offense. However, many of the offensive opportunities were created out of the midfield last season. Look for Walsh and Harkins to spend a lot of time up top.

D E F E N D E R S The lone loss from the 2006 squad was senior Vanderbilt transfer Jamie Gilbert. Grant will fill that void with the return of a healthy Michael Coburn, who missed the 2006 season with a broken tibia. Coburn returned to competition in the spring, but strained his MCL and missed the team’s final match against the Atlanta Silverbacks. At full strength, Coburn will lead the Tiger defense. Said Grant, “His return has kind of replaced Jamie straight away. It’s like getting a great recruit, plus he’s got experience.” Grant returns a trio of starters to anchor the back four: juniors Thomas Hyland and Robert Sausaman and sophomore Rick Alleman. All three played in every match last fall. They can be complimented on occasion by Jared Britcher, primarily a forward, but also “a very competent defender,” according to Grant. Freshman signees Valfred Cole and Ryan Ruble also will compete for minutes in the fall, as will sophomore transfer Rory Dowd. Ruble and Dowd add depth to the left side of the back four and should play a key role in strengthening an already veteran defensive corps.

University of Memphis RICHIE GRANT
R
ichie Grant enters his ninth season leading the Tiger soccer program in 2007. In his tenure as a head coach, Grant consistently has shown the ability to recruit athletes from across the South and to complement them with talent from Europe to put together strong teams. The two-time Conference USA Coach of the Year earned his 79th win at the University of Memphis last season, and his .561 winning percentage is the highest in the program’s history. Since his arrival at Memphis in 1999, Grant has failed to reach the .500 mark only twice. He led the team to its first conference title in 2004 and the first NCAA tournament since 1993. Since the 2004 season, the Tigers have been recognized as one of the premier teams in the nation, cracking the top-20 each year. Immediately following the 2004 conference championship, proof of the team’s overall strength was solidified in the form of a nationally-ranked offense, Grant’s fourth in seven years. The 2005 Tigers led C-USA and were third in the nation in goals-per-game (2.56) and were second in C-USA in goals (46), assists (43) and points (135). Two forwards from the 2005 squad were drafted by Major League Soccer (MLS) franchises. The 2004 campaign also marked a new era of defensive dominance for Memphis soccer. The defensive unit set school records for goals allowed and goals-against average (0.70), which was ninth-best in the country. The following season, goalkeeper Tyler Strom led C-USA with an .815 save percentage. The 2006 campaign showed the same kind of promise. The Tigers opened the season with
eight wins in their first 10 matches and reached a No. 15 ranking in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll. Prior to Memphis, Grant led the turn around for Lambuth University soccer in Jackson, Tenn. In his four years at Lambuth, he led the Eagles to consecutive Mid-South Conference titles and an NAIA Region XI championship while posting a 53-29-2 record. In his 12 years as a head coach, Grant has accumulated 132 wins and a .590 winning percentage. In his eight years at Memphis, he is 79-61-8. 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 A-league. After one season with the Thunder, Grant took a coaching position at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania and earned his master’s degree in communication studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95. Grant earned his NSCAA Advanced National Diploma in 1997 and then his NSCAA Premier Diploma in 2002. He served as the head coach
of Tennessee’s Under-23 Olympic Development Team in 2001. He is currently in his seventh year at the helm of the Tennessee U-17 ODP squad. Grant served as the head coach of the U-17 Super Clubs national all-star team, which toured England in the summer of 2001 for a week of matches against top international competition. Grant is married to Memphis assistant women’s soccer coach Jodi Grant and has four siblings. His parents, Richie and Annette, live in Dublin, Ireland.

ick Glaser begins his first season as a coach with the University of Memphis soccer program after graduating from Memphis in 2001. “We’re really pleased with the addition of Nick to our program for a lot of reasons,” head coach Richie Grant said. “He’s a former player here, so he knows the expectations of the program as an athlete. He knows the standards of the conference, and he’s played professionally, so he brings a wealth of experience to our players. He already has a couple of years of coaching experience at Dayton, where he was instrumental in the recruiting process. We’re hoping to capitalize on what he’s learned at Dayton and apply that to our program.” Glaser, a standout on Tiger soccer teams from 1997-2000, rejoins the program after spending the 2005 and 2006 seasons as an

assistant coach for Atlantic 10 power University of Dayton. From 2003-2004, Glaser served as an assistant at Cumberland University, where he worked with the Bulldogs’ men’s and women’s teams before leaving the NAIA school to join the Flyers. Glaser got a head start on his coaching career by working the club team ranks. The Hendersonville, Tenn., native served as head coach of the Hendersonville Fever ‘93 team from 2001-2004 as well as the Hendersonville Fever ‘91 squad from 2002-2003. After graduating from Memphis, Glaser continued his playing career with the Nashville Metros of the A-League and helped the club to the 2001 A-League playoffs, the club’s first postseason appearance since 1998. After one season in Nashville, Glaser spent the 2002 and 2003 A-League seasons with the Cincinnati Riverhawks, leading the club in minutes played in 2003. While at Memphis, Glaser’s best season came during his 1997 freshman campaign
2007 Memphis Soccer Media Guide
when he was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team. He helped the Tigers to a 10-8-2 record by playing in 20 games (18 starts) and recording five goals (including two game winners) and five assists during his freshman season. Glaser left Memphis in 2001 after earning a degree in marketing and totaled 35 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 73 games in a Tiger uniform.

emco De Jong rejoins the Memphis men’s soccer team for his third season as a goalkeeper coach. In his first season on the Tiger coaching staff, de Jong helped goalkeeper Tyler Strom develop into one of Conference USA’s best netminders. “Remco is a product of one of the best programs in the world, so he brings a great deal of expertise to that position,” head coach Richie Grant said. “He’s very committed to improving our young keepers, and that’s something you saw last year with Tyler Strom’s development.” A native of Amsterdam, de Jong started playing soccer at Ajax in the Netherlands when he was 10years-old. As a goalkeeper with Ajax, he played with John van het Schip, Stanly Menzo, and Marco
van Basten, who coached the Dutch National team to a Round of 16 appearance at the 2006 World Cup. De Jong’s U-18 team, coached by three-time European Cup champion Johan Cruyff, won the Netherlands National Championship in 1981-82. His Ajax 3 team also won the national championship in 1985-86 and was a regional champion from 1985-88. In Holland, he coached the amateur club RKAVIC from 1996-2000 and is currently in his sixth year of coaching goalkeepers for the West Tennessee Futbol Club Dragons. De Jong is married to Angela de Jong-Angelici, the executive producer of the Fox 13 morning show in Memphis. The couple lives in Memphis with their two children, Alyssa and Luca.

COACHES
REMCO DE JONG
The University of Memphis men’s soccer program completed its 25th season in 2006. The original Memphis State Tiger team played its first varsity matches in 1982 against a mixed group of NCAA schools, including now extinct SEC programs like the University of Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. That team won seven of its 20 matches in 1982. Memphis soccer has made great strides since its inaugural season. In 25 years, the program has posted a 250-198-41 record, captured two conference titles and made two NCAA Tournament appearances. Coaching regimes have divided Tiger soccer history into three eras. Peter Bermel coached the ‘82’ team in its transition from club to varsity status. In his six season at the helm the Tigers were 61-48-14. Only in his first season did the Tigers fall short of a .500 winning percentage. Chris Bartels took over in 1988 and coached through the 1998 season, posting a career 110-89-19 record with Memphis. The Tigers’ best season under Bartels came in 1992 with a 14-3-2 record, a 4-0-1 mark in conference play and the program’s first NCAA Tournament bid.
Current head coach Richie Grant has followed the example of his predecessors closely, averaging near 10 wins per season. Grant’s Tigers are 79-61-8 in his eight seasons, making one NCAA Tournament appearance following the 2004 Conference USA chamionship.

Beyond the Numbers
T
iger soccer showcased a long list of young talent in 2006. Entering their first season since the loss of MLS draftees Andy Metcalf and Dayton O’Brien, the Tigers knew the ’06 season would be a new kind of test. Through the course of a difficult schedule, the character of the program grew, and the next era of leadership emerged.
The 2006 campaign was a tale of two seasons. The Tigers roared to an 8-2-0 start, the second-best start through 10 games in school history, and climbed as high as No. 15 in the national polls. However, Memphis struggled to a 3-5-0 conference record and battled nagging injuries to key players as they limped to 10-8-0 record and a first-round loss in the Conference USA Tournament. “The start we got off to and finding ourselves ranked among the top 20 for the third season in a row was very encouraging,” head coach Richie Grant said. “We continued to show that we compete well in the non-conference portion as well as in the region. So, in general, we were pleased to get to 10 wins and to see our program continuing to move toward where we want it to be. However, in the end, we realize that we still have a lot of work to do because we want to continue to climb the ranks of Conference USA.” The Tigers proved their mettle in the season’s opening weekend thanks to consecutive come-frombehind overtime road wins. Memphis trailed former C-USA rival Louisville 3-0 early in the second half of the 2006 opener, but a goal from Kevin Walsh and a pair of strikes from Jared Britcher in 1:27 forced the match into overtime where Jamie Gilbert headed in a free kick to give the Tigers a 4-3 win. The Tigers rallied two days later to defeat Belmont 2-1 in overtime, winning their first two road games of the season. “The match against Louisville helped create the foundation for the rest of the season and gave us some early momentum,” Grant said. “Even when things got tough, our lads could look back at that and
20
know they had still had a chance. As a result, they always worked hard and never quit in a game.” Memphis would need to draw on that experience as they prepared for a schedule that included match-ups against four top-15 teams (No. 1 SMU, No. 5 Clemson, No. 12 South Carolina and No. 14 Kentucky), a 2005 Elite Eight squad (Creighton), and

2006 NCAA Tournament qualifier UAB. The Tigers suffered a hard fought 2-0 loss to No. 5 Clemson before rebounding to win their next five games and improve to 7-1-0. Wins at Air Force and Denver gave the Tigers four consecutive road wins for just the second time in school history and the No. 15 ranking in the nation, the program’s third consecutive year cracking the top 25. Despite a loss at No. 12 South Carolina in the C-USA opener, Memphis came back to win its first conference home game of the season against Tulsa to improve to 8-2-0 in the first 10 games and record the best start by a Tiger team since the 1993 squad went 8-1-1 in its first 10 matches. However, as nagging injuries piled up and the competitive C-USA schedule went into high gear, the Tigers failed to keep up their torrid pace. Sophomore defender Michael Coburn sat out the season after breaking an ankle in the preseason. Britcher and sophomore defender Robert Sausaman missed matches due to illness. Sophomore midfielder Shaun Goulding battled knee and foot injuries all season, and sophomore midfielder Tripp Harkins suffered a broken nose and blown orbital while scoring the game-winning goal against Tulsa. At less than full strength, the Tigers suffered critical conference losses against UCF, Florida International, No. 14 Kentucky and No. 1 SMU. But, thanks to wins over UAB and Marshall, the Tigers clinched a spot in the conference tournament where the season concluded with a loss to Kentucky in the first round. Memphis proved its toughness to the national soccer community and postseason honors began rolling in as validation of the Tigers’ 2006 season. Britcher and Sausaman were named to the C-USA All-Academic Team and the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District first team. Meanwhile Walsh and Gilbert were honored with NSCAA/Adidas All-Midwest second team honors. With just one member of the 2006 squad graduating, the Tigers will have an experienced and cohesive team heading into 2007, which gives

hope to the Memphis coaching staff as they look to continue building the program. “We had some really good games. We played hard against some of the best teams in the country, and we showed that we are still moving in the right direction,” Grant said. “However, we have to be careful and realize that all we’ve done is created a strong foundation. There is no room for complacency going into the offseason. We need to continue to work to get where we want to be, and that’s at the top of the conference.” Mr. September—Junior midfielder Kevin Walsh led the Tiger offense all season, particularly in the month of September, when he recorded a goal or an assist in every match he played. Walsh went on to record a goal or an assist in eight of his first nine matches and 10 of 16 throughout the season. He finished the season as the team leader in goals (10), assists (7), points (27), shots (53) and

shots on goal (28). Walsh also placed himself among the national leaders in points-per-game (16th, 1.69) and goals-per-game (22nd, 0.63) while leading the nation’s 23rd-best scoring offense (1.89 goals per game). One and Done—The Tigers graduated just one senior in 2006, but it still won’t be easy to replace a defender like Jamie Gilbert. Gilbert played at Vanderbilt for three years, but joined the Tigers after the Commodores dropped their men’s soccer program following the 2005 season. Gilbert led Memphis defenders with three goals, including two game winners. Gilbert served as team captain in his only year with the squad and provided much-needed leadership for a starting defensive crew that included two freshmen (goalkeeper Michael Goodlett and defender Rick Alleman) and two sophomores (defenders Thomas Hyland and Robert Sausaman). Unphazed Freshmen—Even facing the graduation of Jamie Gilbert, the Tigers’ hopes remain high for 2007, thanks in part to a strong corps of freshmen who saw extensive time in 2006. Goalkeeper Michael Goodlett made 12 starts and made 42 saves to post a 1.42 goals-against average. Forward Brian Farrell started every match and finished tied for third on the team with four goals. Defender Rick Alleman stepped in for injured junior Michael Coburn and started all 18 games, and midfielder Wade Wonderlin picked up three assists and two starts in 17 games as one of the first subs off the bench. Irish Brigade—Once again, the Tigers saw numerous contributions from their Celtic players in 2006. Kevin Walsh, a native of Shrule, Ireland, finished among the national leaders in points-pergame (16th, 1.69) and goals-per-game (22nd, 0.63). Sophomore midfielder Shaun Goulding, a native of Arbroath, Scotland, finished third on the team in goals (4) and points (11). Brian Farrell, a Dunboyne, Ireland, native, tied Goulding for third on the team in goals (4) and finished tied for fourth in points (10), and Dublin native Thomas Hyland started all 18 games and helped lead the Tigers to three shutouts. Road Warriors—With wins at Louisville, Belmont,
MICHAEL GOODLETT GOALKEEPER
Air Force and Denver, the Tigers picked up victories in four consecutive road games, tying a school record last set during the conference championship campaign of 2004 when the Tigers finished the regular season with wins at East Carolina and Lipscomb, then picked victories over UAB and South Carolina at the C-USA Tournament in Louisville. Always Closing—This Memphis squad proved to be when striking first. The Tigers won eight of nine matches in 2006 in which they scored first. Memphis was able to capitalize on early leads against Cal State Fullerton, UMKC, Central Arkansas, Air Force, Denver, Tulsa, UAB and Marshall. The Tigers’ only loss in such a game came in the first round of the C-USA Tournament where, they relinquished a 1-0 lead to Kentucky. Three’s Company—The Tigers’ high-powered offense recorded two hat tricks in 2006. Tripp Harkins picked up the first one of the year in the Tigers’ 6-2 win over UMKC. Kevin Walsh matched the feat in the season’s final home game by providing all the offense in a 3-0 win over Marshall. Prior to this season, the program had not had a player score three times in a game since Andy Metcalf picked up a hat trick against Lipscomb in 2004. Fan-Tastic—The 2006 season was a recordsetting year at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. The Tigers drew 3,746 fans to the home park, beating the previous mark of 3,066 set in 2003. The team also set a new single-game attendance mark by drawing 923 fans on Sept. 1 for a Friday night game vs. Clemson. On Oct. 21, the team recorded 823 fans for a Saturday afternoon game vs. SMU. Both marks surpassed the previous single-game attendance record of 739 set on Sept. 13, 2005 when the Tigers hosted Alabama A&M.

LADY TIGER SOCCER
On The Rise...

fter advancing to the Conference USA semi-finals in 2006, head coach Brooks Monaghan and the Lady Tigers are ready to make a deep impact in the upcoming 2007 fall season. Memphis had another double digit win season in 2006 and hopes to go deeper in the C-USA Tournament this year. With 14 newcomers, Monaghan hopes that they will have another winning season. The Lady Tigers keep 16 of 28 letterwinners from the 2006 campaign. Memphis will see a lot of youth on the field as they return six sophomores and welcome 14 freshmen, as they all look to gain experience and playing time this upcoming fall. “Our goal this season is to win Conference USA and advance to the NCAA Tournament. We are looking to win the conference this year,” said Monaghan. “We will be going to the bench a lot this season with the addition of a very talented freshman group. We do not have a lot of weaknesses in our group with our returning lineup. Our biggest strength is the depth that we have.” F O R W A R D S “The 4-3-3 is the system that we play. It is what we recruited for,” said Monaghan. “We want our opponents to adapt to us. At the same time, we still want to be able to be versatile in the system
AN ELITE SCHEDULE The Lady Tigers will compete against three NCAA Tournament teams in the 2007 season. A look at the NCAA teams with their 2006 record.

we play.” Junior Kylie Hayes will be the only returning forward that played in all 20 games last season, starting 15. She leads the returning players in goals with 12 and assists with five. If her first two years at Memphis are a sign of what she can do, the Lady Tigers will be in good shape come conference tournament time. She will be a key player in the Lady Tiger offense. “We will be looking for Kylie Hayes to lead our offense. She’s had two tremendous seasons and has scored a lot of goals. Now that Shoko is gone she will emerge as the go to player,” said Monaghan. “Kylie is very excited to put the team on her shoulders. She will not have an experienced counterpart like the previous years, but she is ready.” Senior Harumi Someya played well in her first year with the team and will be an important part of the offense, while sophomore Victoria Dalton will look to contribute also. “Harumi is a very talented player who had a good spring, and Dalton, who moved from midfield to up top, also had an incredible spring,” said Monaghan. Memphis brings in six newcomers in Ashley Berra, Aly Hancock, Anna Laskarzewska, Melissa Smith, Vendula Strnadova and Krista Turner, with all looking to make an immediate impact. “We had several players who will come in and

compete up top for us,” said Monaghan. The Lady Tigers will be deep up front and they hope that will help in a run for the C-USA title. M I D F I E L D E R S The midfield will see leadership from 2006 Conference USA Newcomer of the Year, Maiko Higashiyama. Higashiyama started 15 of the 18 games in which she played last season, scoring six goals and one assist. “Maiko had an average first half of the season and really came on during conference play. She struggled a little bit this spring but we hope she gets back on track,” said Monaghan. “The players around her are very talented also, and as a whole we will be very deep in that area of the field. The midfielders will play a huge role in the amount of success that we have this season.” Junior Emiko Schwab played in every match in the 2006 season, offering an impressive appearance in the midfield. Look for her to be more of an offensive threat this upcoming season. Sophomores Laura Laufenberg and Brittany Baldwin round out the returnees that will dominate the middle. “I have a lot of confidence in our midfield players. Emiko Schwab, Laura Laufenberg and Brittany Baldwin are all very talented and are the type of players you want in the midfield. We have some very good incoming players to support the group,” said Monaghan. Newcomers Brittany Hance, Amanda Olszewski and Katie Sabet will join the midfield squad. Look for one of these freshmen to have a breakthrough season for the Lady Tigers. D E F E N D E R S Junior Kate Murphy will take on a huge leadership role as she leads the defense in 2007. Last season, Murphy played a critical role on defense as she played in 19 matches starting 17.
University of Memphis S C H E D U L E In 2007, the Lady Tigers will face some fierce foes on the slate competing with three NCAA Tournament teams and five home matches against Conference USA. Memphis starts the preseason with matches against Auburn and Western Kentucky. They travel to Alabama for the Samford Bulldog Classic to go up against LSU and Samford. After that, the Lady Tigers return to Alabama to play against the Crimson Tide, before returning home for four-straight games against non-conference opponents UT-Martin, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri State. Memphis will open up Conference USA play with a home opener at Mike Rose Stadium on Oct. 5 against arch-rival UAB. The Lady Tigers then will travel to the Lone Star state to compete against Houston and Rice on Oct. 12 and Oct.14. They return home on Oct. 19 for a four-game stint against Tulsa, SMU, Southern Miss and UCF. Memphis will conclude the regular season on the road with a game at Marshall on Nov. 2, and then two days later, closing out its season in Greenville, N.C., at East Carolina.

Memphis returns C-USA’s Newcomer of the Year, Maiko Higashiyama. The Lady Tigers return several veterans combined with three newcomers which together should produce a solid midfield.
G O A L K E E P E R S Senior goalkeeper Isabel Briones returns in her final year to defend the net. Briones started in all 20 games in the 2006 season, posting a remarkable eight shutouts. With newcomer Elise KuharPitters joining the squad, the net should be in good hands. “Isabel has been very good for us, and we have very high expectations for her to continue the success that she has had over the years. Elise is an excellent goalkeeper who will push Isabel for playing time. There are no guaranteed spots; the best players will play.”

“Kate was our most consistent player in the back last season. She is a natural leader, a rock back there, and leads by example. She’s every coach’s’ dream. She comes out, works hard every single day and gives you a consistent performance when she steps on the field.” Murphy will be joined by seniors Elaine Sedgewick, Caroline Barrett and Halley Jo Sullivan, junior Maggie Leone and sophomores Roma Rozanska, Lia Fannin, and Eliza Wellford, all of whom will all be competing for playing time this upcoming season. “We’re excited about moving Eliza to the back. She gave us some quality minutes up top last year and did very well. We moved her back to defense, and with the amount of speed that she brings to the position, we feel that she’s going to compete as an outside back from the get-go,” said Monaghan. “We’re excited with her move from up front to the back and feel that position best suits her and our team.” The Lady Tigers will add four newcomers to the backfield with freshmen Kelsey Bakker, Tarah Kerr, Stacey Radcliffe and Laurel Shute all looking to play integral parts on defense. “Caroline Barrett and Halley Jo Sullivan are veterans that have played tons of minutes for us. Roma Rozanska is quickly recovering from a torn ACL injury so we will have to wait and see on how she recovers. Depending on her recovery time, you may see a freshman starting in the back for us. I’m 100 percent comfortable with the players coming in and we know they can do the job,” said Monaghan.

rooks Monaghan has been a part of the University of Memphis women’s soccer program since its inception in 1995 and has played a major role in its rise over the last seven seasons. Now, entering his eighth year as a head coach, Monaghan has not only maintained the Lady Tiger program, but has substantially raised the bar of success. Monaghan took the reins of the program in 2000 after serving for five years as an assistant coach for his predecessor, Les Szabo. Despite taking over a difficult situation, Monaghan has been able to turn the Lady Tiger soccer program into a success. Over the past three seasons, Monaghan has produced the most successful campaigns in program history, winning 11 matches in 2004 and 2006 and 12 contests in 2005. Those years represent the first time Memphis women’s soccer has ever posted consecutive winning records. Last season, the Lady Tigers ended the year with their highest-ever Conference USA finish and won their first C-USA Tournament match in nine years. Memphis reached the semifinals of the conference tournament for the first time in program history. In 2005, Monaghan became the longest tenured women’s soccer coach in school history. Just the program’s second coach, Monaghan surpassed Szabo in 2004 as Memphis’ all-time winningest coach with his 35th career win. Another indicator of Monaghan’s success as a coach has been the numerous accolades awarded to his players. In seven seasons, he has had 18 players receive All-Conference USA honors, including seven first team recipients. In 2005, Shoko Mikami was named the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, making her the first Lady Tiger to receive a conference MVP award. The Lady Tiger program has also flourished off the field during Monaghan’s tenure. Since 2000, the team has never posted a composite
grade-point average below 3.0. In the spring of 2007, 15 players finished the semester with a GPA above 3.0. Three Lady Tigers also made the Tiger Academic 30 for having three of the top 30 GPAs of all student-athletes, and two of those players posted a perfect 4.0. “The most important thing we can do as coaches is try to prepare young people for success later in life,” Monaghan said. “Soccer is important to me, and I want to win. However, the foundation of our program is the student-athlete.” When Monaghan took over the program, he was already familiar with the demands of running a successful college soccer program, having enjoyed tremendous success during his playing career at Memphis. The former goalkeeper still holds school records for single-season shutouts (11) and career shutouts (24). He is second to Lady Tiger assistant coach Sebastian Vecchio in career goals-against average (1.40) and single-season goals-against average (0.80). His 298 career saves rank second all-time. He was named first team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992 after helping lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title. In 1993, he was the Defensive MVP of the league’s championship game, helping the Tigers to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His 38 wins at goalkeeper still stand as the school record. “Making the NCAA Tournament was such a great time for me as a player,” Monaghan said. “That is the standard that I want to reach as a coach and that I want my players to strive for.” “To be a part of Memphis from so many differ-
ent angles - first as a player, then as an assistant and now as a head coach - has been wonderful. I grew up here, and I’ve always loved the city and the school. Now I get to be a part of building a winning program at my alma mater and that’s a dream come true.” A former prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan’s collegiate play helped earn him a spot on the U.S. U-20 National Squad. Monaghan also played professionally, spending two seasons with the New Orleans Gamblers from 1995-96 and tone with the Memphis Express in 2002. A Memphis native, Monaghan received a bachelor’s degree in business management from Memphis in 1994. He is single and resides in Memphis.

JODI GRANT

K
eeping an assistant coach with the talent of Jodi Grant is almost impossible, but Memphis has been fortunate enough to have Grant as a part of the women’s soccer program since its inception. “This program would not be where it is without Jodi,” Monaghan said. “I look at her as a co-head coach. Jodi is irreplaceable, and she deserves as much credit as I do for our success.” A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Grant is entering her seventh season as a full-time assistant coach with the Lady Tigers. Prior to that, she served as a graduate assistant coach for one season and as a volunteer assistant coach for a year. Grant first came to the University of Memphis as a player on the inaugural Lady Tiger squad in 1995. She played four seasons, and in 79 career games, compiled school records still standing today. Grant holds the Memphis record 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 a season (11) and career (26). A third team All-Conference USA selection as a junior in 1997, Grant was also named to the C-USA AllFreshman Team in 1995.

2007 Memphis Soccer Media Guide
At the conclusion of her playing days, Grant spent one year as a volunteer assistant coach in 1999 and another as a graduate assistant coach in 2000, helping the program 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, Grant has also played an instrumental part in the Lady Tigers’ success in the classroom. The last three seasons, Memphis was the recipient of the women’s soccer team academic award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and this spring had 15 players finish with a grade-point average above 3.0. The Lady Tigers also had three players garner individual academic awards in 2006. “Jodi is a great tactician on the field, but she’s just as good in teaching the kids off the field,” Monaghan said. “She is great role model for all of the players and really understands where they are coming from.” Grant earned her undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science from Memphis in 1999 and also earned a master’s degree in student personnel services from the university in 2002. Formerly Jodi Fisher, she married Memphis men’s soccer head coach Richie Grant in May 2006.

SEBASTIAN VECCHIO assistant coach—3rd season university of memphis—2005

fter completing his playing career with the Memphis men’s soccer team in 2004, Sebastian Vecchio stepped over into the coaching ranks with the women’s program, joining the Lady Tigers as an assistant coach in charge of goalkeepers. In 2005, his first season with the women’s team, Vecchio helped mold sophomore goalkeeper Isabel Briones into one of Conference USA’s best netminders. Under Vecchio’s tutelage, Briones has been named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week three times. Vecchio experienced the same success in 2006, as Briones set a school record for shutouts in a single season. “Sebastian was a great addition to our staff,” said head coach Brooks Monaghan. “He has helped Isabel Briones take her game to the next
level. He’s a great coach in terms of teaching and fundamentals.” As a player, Vecchio was a two-year starter for the Tigers after transferring to Memphis from NAIA Mid-Continent College in Kentucky. He allowed just 12 goals in over 1,500 minutes of play during the 2004 season for a 0.69 goals-against average en route to being named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and an All-C-USA first teamer. The native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, ended his Tiger career with a 1.02 career goals-against average and 21 wins in two seasons. Prior to his collegiate playing days, Vecchio played with the Argentina U-16 National Team. Vecchio earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Memphis in 2005. He is single and resides in Memphis.

2007 SPRING REVIEW The Memphis women’s soccer team has hopes of a promising year after the conclusion of the 2007 spring schedule. The Lady Tigers went 5-2-3 in the spring season, with their only losses coming 3-1 against Indiana and 3-1 against Oklahoma State, which ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 2007 and was an NCAA Tournament participant. Memphis tied NCAA Tournament participant Vanderbilt 0-0. The Lady Tigers topped the Irish Prep school, Colaiste Ide, in an exhibition, winning by a decisive 7-1 margin, and rolled to a 7-2 victory over West Florida. “Overall, I thought that we had a good spring season. There was a little bit of inconsistency due to the youth of our team and lack of leadership. We graduated a few of our leaders, so it took time for the underclassmen to step up. We had good competition this spring season and the players worked hard,” said coach Brooks Monaghan. Despite the loss of senior forward Shoko Mikami, Memphis showed great hope for the upcoming fall season. The Lady Tigers were resourceful in their offensive attacks as nine different players scored goals in the spring season. Senior Harumi Someya and junior Kylie Hayes led the attack as Memphis
scored 30 goals, while holding their competitors to less than half of that total. Last season, Memphis won its first Conference USA Tournament game in nine years, defeating East Carolina 2-1 in double overtime to take home the win. The Lady Tigers fell short in the second round 4-2 to UAB in a penalty-kick shootout. Memphis’ record on the year was 11-6-3, the second-most wins in program history and tying the team’s total from 2004. With a new season approaching, the Lady Tigers look to go deeper into the conference tournament and increase their win total “Last fall was a good season,” said Monaghan. “Losing a game in a shootout is never good; it was a little disappointing. At the end of the day it was the best finish for the women’s soccer program in history, finishing third. We are making great progress. Another year with the group of players we have returning will put us right on the path we need to be.”

2006 REVIEW
LADY TIGER SOCCER
Climbing the Ladder T
he 2006 Memphis women’s soccer season will likely go down as a stamp of validation on the growth of the program. Led again by senior forward Shoko Mikami, the Lady Tigers posted an 11-6-3 record and went 6-2-1 in Conference USA, finishing with double-digit wins for a third-straight season and earning their highest-ever finish in conference play. Memphis picked up its first C-USA Tournament win in nine years with a thrilling 2-1 double overtime victory against East Carolina.
“This was a season that will probably raise expectations for our program from here on,” said Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan. “We were able to go to the conference tournament and pick up a big win. Now our goals for next year will be even higher.” The Lady Tigers were stellar on both ends of the field. Memphis registered 48 goals on the season, with Mikami and sophomore Kylie Hayes each scoring 12. Defensively, the Lady Tigers post-

ed team records with eight shutouts and a 1.07 goals-against average. Sophomore Kate Murphy was named second team All-Conference USA as a defender. Memphis opened the season with expectations at an all-time high, and Soccer Buzz Magazine ranked the Lady Tigers 13th in the Central Region in its preseason poll. Monaghan’s squad looked as good as advertised in its opening weekend with an offensive explosion during a two-game road trip at Tennessee Tech and UT Martin. The Lady Tigers cruised to easy 8-0 and 7-0 wins, respectively. Mikami scored hat tricks in both matches, finishing the weekend with 13 points while Hayes scored five goals and ended the weekend with 11 points. Despite the opening weekend fireworks, the Memphis offense sputtered through much of the non-conference schedule. Despite out-shooting almost every opponent and creating multiple chances in most of their matches, the Lady Tigers were unlucky and unable to find the back of the net in several contests. Memphis dropped a pair of heartbreaking matches in the 2006 Nike Lady Tiger Fall Invitational, falling 2-0 to an Alabama team that it out shot 21–7 and losing 1-0 to a talented Samford squad. The Lady Tigers battled back to split an SEC road trip the next weekend, beating Mississippi State 2-0 before falling 3-0 to Ole Miss. Memphis picked up its first home win of the season, blanking a 2006 NCAA Tournament South East Missouri State team 2-0 at the Mike Rose

Soccer Complex. After another tough loss to Arkansas, the Lady Tigers fought Missouri State to a 0-0 tie to take a 4-4-2 record into conference play. “We played a tough non-conference schedule, and we struggled to find the goal in some of those matches,” Monaghan said. “I think we took some knocks that really prepared us for the conference season. We never questioned what we were capable of, and I was proud of the team for the way they responded once we got to conference play.” It was during the conference schedule that the Lady Tigers came together. Following a 1-1 tie with East Carolina, Memphis exploded on Marshall to the tune of eight goals. That set the stage for the Lady Tigers to go on a three-match winning steak that included an impressive road win against UCF and a 4-0 drubbing of Southern Miss. After dropping consecutive road matches against two of the league’s top teams in Colorado College and UTEP, Memphis fought back once again to win its final three matches and take the No. 3 seed heading into the C-USA Tournament. In the first round of the conference tournament, the Lady Tigers faced the same East Carolina squad they tied to open the C-USA season. The rematch showed just how even the two squads were. After an early goal by ECU, Memphis forward Geneil Newbern scored to tie the match at 1-1. The teams stayed even until double overtime, when Halley Jo Sullivan found Hayes in the box to give Memphis its first conference tournament win under Monaghan. The Lady Tigers came precariously close to making their first-ever conference championship match, but fell to eventual tournament champion UAB 4-3 on penalty kicks in the semifinals. “I’m very pleased overall with the way the season went,” Monaghan said. “It’s a little disappointing because we were so close to the NCAA Tournament. As a whole, I think it was step in the right direction and gives us something to build for next year.”

SHOKO MIKAMI 2006 ALL-CONFERENCE USA FIRST TEAM S A Y I N G G O O D B Y E Memphis said goodbye to four seniors in 2006. Nicky McLeod and midfielder Melissa Savage ended their careers among the most active players in school history, playing in 74 and 76 matches, respectively during their careers. Geneil Newbern was only with the Lady Tigers for one season, but dazzled fans with her athleticism and ball handling skills. The Georgia transfer finished the season third on the team in goals (7) and points (16). “Each one of our seniors were here for a different amount of time, but all of them have contributed tremendously to the program,” Monaghan said. “Melissa and Nicky both provided phenomenal leadership, and Geneil, even though she was only here for one season, was able to do a lot things to help us be successful this year.” L E A V I N G H E R M A R K After earning the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year award in her first full year with the Lady Tigers in 2005, Shoko Mikami proved that she was among not only the best in C-USA, but
SOCCER AMERICA NATIONAL TEAM OF THE WEEK Shoko Mikami - 8/28
also the nation in 2006. After a stunning opening weekend that saw her score six goals and total 13 points, Mikami was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in her career. More impressively, the senior was named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Fox Soccer Channel Female Player of the Week. The Chiba, Japan, native was also named to the Soccer Buzz and Soccer America National Teams of the Week. Mikami ended the season with 12 goals, eight assists and 32 points. She led C-USA in points during the regular season for a second-straight year, was second in goals and third in assists. She was named first team All-Conference USA and finished her career with 28 goals, 21 assists and 77 points, placing her second in goals and points and third in assists on the Memphis career lists. “It’s tough to even explain what Shoko has done for our program both on and off the field,” Monaghan said. “She’s absolutely irreplaceable, and her talent and unselfishness are hard to find.” O N H E R W A Y With two years remaining in her Lady Tiger career, forward Kylie Hayes is on pace to smash several of Memphis’ offensive records. Hayes scored five goals and notched an assist in the first two matches of 2006 and ended the season with 12 goals, six assists and 30 points. The Piqua, Ohio, native now ranks third on the career goals (26) list and fourth on the points list (63). She needs just seven goals and 36 points to pass assistant coach Jodi Grant for the all-time lead in both categories. LITTLE MAIKO MAKES A BIG SPLASH At just five-feet tall, Maiko Higashiyama was certainly not the Lady Tigers most intimidating player, but the sophomore transfer showed blinding quickness and became one of the team’s top offensive threats in conference play. Higashiyama scored all six of her goals in C-USA matches - including game-winning goals against Marshall, Rice and Houston - en route to the league’s Newcomer of the Year award. The Japan native became the first Lady Tiger to ever receive the award.

career shutout list, passing Katrina Wicksell for the top spot. Briones is also third on the career saves list with 184 stops. Briones picked up the 22nd win of career in the Lady Tigers’ regular seasonending win against UAB. The win made Briones the all-time winningest keeper in program history. She was also named as a Conference Defensive Player of the Week following a pair of shutouts in Memphis’ first two matches. A C A D E M I C E X C E L L E N C E Throughout Monaghan’s tenure the Lady Tigers have been one of the leading programs on campus academically. In 2006, Memphis players received numerous honors for their scholastic achievements. Shoko Mikami added to her plethora of awards by becoming the first Lady Tiger to ever be named to a national academic team. The senior was named to the ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-American second team and District IV first team. In addition, she was voted to the All-Conference USA Academic Team. Sophomore Kate Murphy also picked up a pair of academic honors. The defender was named CUSA Academic honorable mention as well as to the ESPN/CoSIDA District IV All-Academic second team. Senior Melissa Savage also received conference academic honorable mention honors.

legiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 196874. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Management Council. A veteran administrator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA
R.C. JOHNSON
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IOWA, 1965 Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing University of Memphis Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 11-plus years, the dynamic administrator has structured one of the most successful coaching staffs in the history of Tiger athletics and continues to strive for athletic and academic excellence while recognizing the importance of building strong university and community ties. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such highprofile coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West and former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari. In addition, several of his most recent hires have garnered success in just a short period of time. Daron Schoenrock led the Tiger baseball team to the 2007 NCAA Regional Tournament for the first time in 13 years this past season, while women’s golf coach Jenny Bruun and track coach Kevin Robinson both earned C-USA Coach of the Year honors in 2007. Bruun’s Lady Tigers won the C-USA title this season, and Stacy Tate earned a berth in the NCAA Championships. Robinson, a former Tiger assistant who Johnson promoted to head coach over both track programs, led his squad to the 2007 C-USA men’s track championship and qualified Gail Lee and Stefan Nerdal for the NCAA championship event. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which will benefit nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, the newly-completed softball complex, an approaching redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium, a golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and a Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex.
During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 24 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which would enable Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. In addition, the terms of the new agreement allow for options to continue through the 2021-22 academic year. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that ranks in the top 30 percent according to the latest APR announced in May 2007. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2006 and spring 2007, 295 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 grade point average and 28 students excelled with a 4.0 grade point average. Just this past spring, 10 teams logged a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher and the athletic department as a whole is represented by a 2.8 GPA. In May 2007, 39 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. And, under Johnson’s guidance, Memphis boasts an 89 percent graduation rate of all studentathletes who complete their eligibility at the U of M. Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercol-

In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children and five grandchildren.

SOCCER COMPLEX these fields are fully paved walkways, easily accessible parking, restrooms, covered pavilions, picnic and recreation areas and a three-acre lake. It is a definite asset to both the Tiger and Lady Tiger soccer programs. “The facility has helped us in recruiting some of the better players in the region to our program,” said head men’s coach Richie Grant. Participant facilities within the stadium structure include showers and locker rooms, a food court, corporate skybox, full media services, administrative offices and a conference room. “Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone, facility-wise,” said head women’s coach Brooks Monaghan. “There may be some facilities that are similar or close to Mike Rose, but I honestly don’t feel there are any better. As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is first class.” Located in southeast Shelby County, just east of the Memphis city limits, the Mike Rose facility has established itself as one of the premier soccer facilities in the Mid-South. In 2003, the MRSC was the host site for the Ford Conference USA Tournament. “We feel like Mike Rose is one of the best college soccer facilities in the country,” Grant said. “The quality of the surface makes for entertaining soccer every night.”

ATHLETIC COMPLEX HIGHLIGHTS The University of Memphis Murphy Athletic Complex is located approximately one mile south of the institution’s main campus and serves as the home and training facility for many of the Tiger athletic teams. Facilities Director Murray Armstrong is responsible for overseeing the facility.
A full-size soccer practice field and four 100-yard grass football fields highlight the back side of the Murphy Complex.
The Murphy Complex underwent some major changes and renovations in 2003. The renovations were part of a $6 million facelift given to the Murphy Complex, giving Tiger student-athletes a state-of-the-art training facility.
Men’s Soccer Locker Room
The renovated training room has examination rooms for team doctors, rehabilitation and taping areas and an inground aquatic pool for rehabilitating injuries. The equipment room has been renovated with an additional laundry room to ease the burden of taking care of the equipment needs of the football, track, baseball, softball and soccer teams. Additional locker rooms have been added for the football staff, women’s soccer team and visiting teams competing at the track and field and baseball facilities. A media interview room, video room and storage room were also a part of the renovation project.
An indoor turf practice facility at the Murphy Complex allows the Tigers to continue practicing in unfavorable conditions.

WEIGHT ROOM HIGHLIGHTS
Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Park Avenue Campus. He is aided by graduate assistants Jason Hartman, Chad Smith, Josh Medlin and volunteer assistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball and track teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the New York Giants’ Marcus Bell and Michael Stone, the Detroit Lions’ Idrees Bashir and the St. Louis Rams’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Park Avenue Campus weight room, there is a weight facility in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefits women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, cross country, women’s golf and softball. Assistant Strength Coach Lee Yerty is responsible for all workouts in the Fieldhouse. He is assisted by graduate assistant Jake Fitts. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its practice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball, as well as the men’s tennis and men’s golf teams. With three state-of-the-art facilities located around campus, the U of M Strength and Conditioning staff is well-equipped to handle the training needs of Tiger Athletes.
The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certified specialists, and each student-athlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database. The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatigue). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom-line objective. The weight room’s equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, 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/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is maintained at a constant 70-74 degrees. In planning the long-range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of “foundational” or generalized movements and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase.

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

The University of Memphis’ Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Its 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
Since 1999, men’s soccer has graduated 31 of 33 seniors, while 34 of 36 women’s soccer seniors have earned their diploma. Last fall, men’s soccer posted its highest GPA ever with a 3.0. The women’s soccer team has 14 straight semesters with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Pictured are some of the 41 Memphis student-athletes who graduated in May 2007. Included in the graduating class is men’s soccer alum Andy Metcalf, and women’s soccer alum Geneil Newbern.
BUILDING TOMORROW’S LEADERS
ACADEMIC CENTER recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, an academic intern, 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. Assistant director Kelley Bickham, who was hired May 2007, was brought in specifically to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compliance matters associated with prospective and current student-athletes. The five academic counselors are assigned to specific sports working closely with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last five academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the CUSA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, stu-
dent development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 21 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was offered in 2003 so that all freshman student-athletes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average
of 15.2 credit hours and an average GPA of 3.25. Three academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned 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 student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester.

The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. 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 “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.

WHY TIGERS?
When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.
A PROUD HISTORY
TIGER TRADITIONS A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT
For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the current Tiger mascot, attends all Tiger football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year as a powerful and majestic symbol of Tigers Athletics. TOM II travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. TOM came to the university on November 9, 1972, when the tiger cub was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, Ind., and put on a Memphis-bound flight via Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. He arrived in Memphis at 3:00 a.m., and C. Cleveland Drennon, President of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to purchase the animal. That morning, TOM was taken to Athletic Director Billy Murphy’s office for a press conference. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti, including colorful monikers like Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny Shiloh, and even Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, TOM was housed by Highland Hundred member Bill Proctor in his garage, which the Club had redecorated, and was closely guarded by Proctor’s hound dog. As TOM grew older, the decision was made by the Highland Hundred to keep the Tiger Tradition alive by securing a new Tiger to be raised as TOM II. In the fall of 1991, Highland Hundred President Ray Daniels and President-Elect Bobby Wharton received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. In 2005, TOM II moved to a new habitat in a rural area just south of Memphis on land offered by longtime Tiger fans Jeff and Mary Kuntz. The new facility was designed as a virtual copy of the original facility in Collierville, but includes many upgrades that improve TOM’s comfort and safety. As one of only two universities in America with a live Tiger mascot, the University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition.
SCHOOL COLORS
The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.
THE LOGO
The University of Memphis’ official logo was 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.”
