Another Arizona native, Lamar Bryant, comes to The U of M from Chandler, Ariz., where she was an outstanding player at Corona Del Sol. The 5-9 outside hitter led her teams to the state tournament in 1992,1993 and 1994. In 1992 and 1993 Corona Del Sol finished as the state runner-up, and in 1994 they finished in the Final Four. Bryant was selected to the Arizona Coaches Association honorable mention AllAmerican list. She was also the region MVP, and first team All-State, All-East Valley and All-Metro. Tara Pfeffer, a 5-10 outside hitter had both a successful high school and junior career in Austin, Tex. In 1994, her Westwood High squad were the Texas Region II Area champions with a 21-11 record. This summer her Junior Olympic squad placed second in Orlando, Fla. As a senior at Westwood, Pfeffer had a .387 kill percentage, 305 digs and • 52 aces. She was a Texas Girls Coaches Association All-Star nominee and earned first team All-District. Rounding out the list of newcomers is Tera Hayman, a 6-0 middle blocker from Little Rock, Ark. She was a three-year letter winner at Hall High School. Hayman was a class 4A All-Conference player in 1994. During the Little Rock City Tournam e n t , Hayman was
named the MVP as her team finished second. The road to success in '95 won't be easy for the Lady Tigers. "The schedule is a very competitive one, but I am confident that my team will be prepared to meet these challenges," said LucasWhite. Joining the newly formed Conference USA, the Lady Tigers will face many new challengers including the University of Houston, a NCAA Final Eight finisher. The Cougars and the Lady Tigers will play on each other's court in 1995. Louisville, which has played in six straight NCAA Tournaments, also will play Memphis twice during the regular season. To open the 1995 campaign the Lady Tigers will play at the South Florida Invitational, Sept. 1 -2. That tournament features Florida State, a team consistently in the NCAA Tournament; South Florida, a 1993 National Invitational Tournament competitor; and Tennessee Tech. The Lady Tigers will open their home schedule hosting the Graphic Systems Classic which will feature Ole Miss, Murray State and Illinois-Chicago. Joining the newly formed Conference USA, the Lady Tigers will face all not only Houston, South Florida and Louisville, but UAB, Southern Mississippi, Marquette, Tulane, DePaul, Cincinnati, Saint Louis and UNC Charlotte. "Conference USA is a great conference for volleyball because of the strength of the programs involved in this new league. Volleyball has now become a premier sport," LucasWhite said. Other non-conference opponents include Clemson, Auburn, Southern Illinois, Middle Tennessee State, Arkansas State and Wright State. Nothing is better than the sweet taste of success. The '95 Lady Tigers are hoping success tastes even sweeter the second time around.

HEAD COACH PENNY LUCAS-WHITE Memphis State, 1994 4th Season 82-60 at The U of M 1993 and 1994 Great Midwest Coach of the Year
In just four seasons, Lady Tiger head coach Penny LucasWhite led her squad to its first Great Midwest Conference Tournament Championship. That marks the first time in the history of The University of Memphis that a Lady Tiger volleyball team won a conference tournament title. And, with that conference title, the Lady Tigers made their first ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament. For the second straight season, Lady Tiger head coach Penny Lucas-White led her squad to a Great Midwest Conference regular season title, and was named GMC Coach of the Year (1993 and 1994). The team's 12-0 conference record marked the second time in The University of Memphis women's volleyball history that a Lady Tiger squad went undefeated in regular season conference play (went 7-0 in the Metro Conference in 1990). The team's final overall record, 27-8, marked the third consecutive year the Lady Tigers had won 20 or more matches. As well, the Lady Tigers have had eight 20-win seasons in the past nine years, and 14 in the team's 23 seasons. Winning 20 straight matches set a school record for most consecutive wins by a U of M volleyball team surpassing the previous mark, 15, set in 1990. As well, the team's six losses are the fewest by a Lady Tiger squad since the 1971 campaign when they were 17-5. Lucas-White owns an overall record of 82-60 in four seasons at The University of Memphis. During her third year as head coach of The University of Memphis Lady Tiger volleyball program, Penny Lucas-White not only led her team to an impressive 25-11 record, but a Great Midwest Conference regular season championship with a 111 mark. Lucas-White took over the reins of Lady Tiger volleyball on JulyS, 1991. It did not take long for Lucas-White to orient her inherited Lady Tiger team to her coaching. In 1991, the Lady Tigers compiled a 20-15 record. Competing in the Great Midwest Conference, the Lady Tigers, under Lucas-White's direction, finished the season 3-2 and placed third at the 1991 year-end tournament. The 1992 season was a rebuilding year for the Lady Tigers, whose roster featured four freshmen, two sophomores and two juniors. Inexperience showed as the team finished the 1992 season with a 10-26 mark. However, at the Great Midwest
Championships, the sixth seeded Lady Tigers upset third seeded Marquette before losing to champion Alabama at Birmingham. The University of Memphis job is Lucas-White's first head coaching position. However, she was the assistant volleyball coach at Auburn University from 1987-89. During her threeyear stint at Auburn, her teams compiled a 63-47 record including back-to-back 20-win seasons (25-12,1988 and 2114 in 1989). Lucas-White played collegiate volleyball at Louisiana State from 1980-83. During her career with the Tigers she earned first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors in 1980 as well as being named LSU's most valuable player. In 1983 LSU compiled a 31-16 overall record and finished second in the Southeastern Conference. A professional contract was offered to Lucas-White in 1984 and she accepted to play in the German Professional League. From 1984-85 she played for the Feuerbach team which competed in Stuttgart, West Germany. In 1985 she earned a spot on the United States National Team which finished second in Norcea and participated in the Pan Am Games. Lucas-White once again played in the professional ranks, this time in the United States. In 1987 she participated on the Dallas Belles squad which finished third in the league. In 1988 she played with the Chicago Breeze. She headed back to Europe in 1988 to play in the Italian Professional League. Lucas-White earned a spot on the Matera squad from 1988-89. During that season she earned the Major League Volleyball blocking and spiking efficiency awards. She then played for the Agrigento team from 198991. That squad finished second in the league. Lucas-White was twice named to various All-Tournament teams. During the summer of 1992, Lucas-White served as the volleyball commissioner of the Tennessee Sportsfest. In the summer of 1993, her USVBA team finished first in thesilverdivisionoftheUSVBA Championships in Memphis, Tenn. Lucas-White was named the Rookie of the Year and the Player of the Year in the women's open division of that tournament. As well, she earned All-Rookie Team honors in the women's open division, and First Team AllAmerica laurels in the women's open silver division.

\4 SEASON I
TAKE PRISONERS The University of Memphis Lady Tiger volleyball team completed the 1994 campaign with not only a winning record, 27-8, but a Great Midwest Conference regular season and championship title. As well, the Lady Tigers participated in the prestigious NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. In first round action, The University of Memphis was sent to the West Coast to face San Diego State, the number five seed in the NCAA West Region. Despite the odds, the Lady Tigers handed the Aztecs a 157 loss in the first game of the best-of-five match. After the Lady Tigers took a 6-2 lead in the second game, SDSU took a timeout and made the necessary adjustments that would cause the collapse of The U of M. San Diego State, led by Juliana Cezars' and Ginger Ernest, got on target and swept the next three games from the Lady Tigers, 15-6, 15-5, 15-9. Junior Monique Swaby led the Lady Tigers with 21 kills. However, senior Renee Ross had 19 kills, a team-high .385 kill percentage and a match-high 14 digs. "I was extremely proud of the way the team played," said fourth-year Lady Tiger head coach Penny Lucas-White. "They never gave up, and played with a lot of intensity right up until the end." Despite the loss, the future looks bright for Lucas-White and the Lady Tiger volleyball program. "This has been a great season for us. I give a lot of credit to the team because they knew what their goals were, and they went after them," explained Lucas-White. "We wanted to win a conference title, and we did. We wanted to go to the NCAA Tournament, and we did." After winning their season opening tournament, the Memphis Sports Invitational, the Lady Tigers took second place in their second tournament of the season, the Graphic Systems Classic. The U of M lost to Stephen F. Austin, a team that went on to compete in the NCAA Tournament, in the championship match. After that loss the Lady Tigers lost five of their next six matches. Could history repeat itself? During the 1991 season, The University of Memphis volleyball team lost to Mississippi State, and then went on to win 15 straight matches. This past season, the Lady Tigers lost to Mississippi State and then went on to win a school record 20 straight matches. During that 20-match win streak, the Lady Tigers captured
their second straight Great Midwest Conference regular season title going 12-0. At the Great Midwest Conference Championship Tournament in Dayton, Ohio, the Lady Tigers did not lose a game in their quest for the title. The team's motto for the tournament was, "Take No Prisoners." According to Lucas-White, she told her team that during the 1993 conference tournament, in which they lost in the semifinals, the Lady Tigers had carried those scars too long. LucasWhite did not want her team to be a prisoner to the heart-felt loss they had incurred in 1993. The U of M beat Saint Louis in semi-final round action, 154, 15-10, 15-12. In the championship match, the Lady Tigers beat defending GMC champions DePaul, 15-11, 15-2, 15-7. That conference title was not only the first Great Midwest championship for the Lady Tiger volleyball team, but the firstever conference title for a U of M volleyball squad. During the GMC Tournament, Lady Tiger head coach Penny Lucas-White was named Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season. Swaby, a 6-0 middle blocker, was named the Player of the Year, while sophomore setter Nikki Taylor earned first-team All-Conference, and freshman Shoni Hodges was named to the All-Newcomer team. At the completion of the championships, Swaby was named the tournament MVP, while senior Jamie Runkie and Taylor were named to the All-Tournament team.

CONFERENCE USA Conference USA(C-USA), the nation's newest Division IA intercollegiate athletic conference, was unveiled at a press conference on April 24, 1995 at Harry Caray's Restaurant in Chicago, IL. Dr. V. Lane Rawlins, president of the University of Memphis and chair of Conference USA's Board of Directors, made the announcement. C-USA is comprised of 12 universities that span across 12 states in the U.S. Conference USA includes six institutions from the Great Midwest Conference, five from the Metro Conference, and one from the Southwest Conference. Eleven of those schools will begin athletic participation in 1995-96. Conference USA, which will sponsor 18 championship sports, will begin Division I-A football competition in the fall of 1996. Beginning competition in 1995-96 will be the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the University of Cincinnati (UC), De Paul University (DU), Marquette University (MU), the University of Memphis (UofM) and Saint Louis University (SLU) from the Great Midwest, along with the University of Louisville (UL), the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte), the University of South Florida (USF), the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), and Tulane University (TU) from the Metro. The University of Houston willcompete in the Southwest Conference's final year and will participate in Conference USA competition beginning in 1996-97. Conference USA will sponsor championship competition for the following men's sports: baseball, basketball, crosscountry, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor). C-USA will sponsor the following women's championships: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball. Rifle will be sponsored as a combined sport. Michael L. Slive, who served as commissioner of the Great Midwest Conference for four years, was selected as the first commissioner of Conference USA by the presidents of the 12 institutions. Slive, who has extensive administrative and legal background in intercollegiate athletics, was instrumental in developing a comprehensive television package for the Great Midwest which included more than 40 national television men's basketball appearances per year. In 1994-95, the Great Midwest had more than 60 national television appearances. Slive also helped establish a syndicated women's basketball television package the past two seasons. "Conference USA has a very bright future. This league has the opportunity to capitalize on its great men's and women's basketball tradition while developing a competitive Division I-A football championship," said Slive. "Conference USA will also have the ability to enhance sports other than basketball and football, as well as have an impact on the national governance of intercollegiate athletics."
In 1996, six member institutions (Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Southern Miss, and Tulane) will compete for the first C-USA football championship. Each school will play five conference games. Discussions are continuing regarding the champion of Conference USA earning an automatic bowl bid. C-USA also has a five-year football television contract with Liberty Sports. During the 1990s, the six football playing members have combined for the following: three Top 25 finishes, three bowl appearances, seven wins against Top 25 opponents, two teams posting the best records in school history, one institution posting its best record since 1976, one team recording three straight winning seasons, one institution selling out each of its home games for two straight seasons, 11 AP Ail-American selections, five academic All-American selections, five first round NFL draft picks and one NFL Pro Bowl selection. In men's basketball, Conference USA will be comprised of three divisions (Red, White and Blue). The 1996 men's basketball championship will be held March 6-9 at The Pyramid in Memphis, while the 1997 championship tournament is slated for Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY. The conference also has entered into a six-year basketball television agreement with Creative Sports and ESPN. Conference USA officially began operation on July 1,1996, and is being headquarted in Chicago the first year. Name: Abbreviation: Member Institutions:

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS More than 80 years ago, The University of Memphis began as a small state teachers' college. Today, The U of M is a major center for learning and research. The University of Memphis' roots date back to 1912, when radio was young, motion pictures were silent and William Howard Taft was in the White House. Named West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution's main purpose was to train and educate secondaryschool teachers. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSNS expanded its curriculum. In 1941 the school's name changed to Memphis State College and in 1957, the college received university status and became Memphis State University. On July 1, 1994, the name was changed to The University of Memphis. The U of M now has more than 20,000 students and a physical plant comprised of 1,160 acres on seven different sites. The main campus now lies in the center of a sprawling metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. South Campus, which was once aveteran's hospital, is home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex and student family housing. Students and faculty I members can conduct environmental research at the Edward J. Meeman Biological Field Station, which encompasses more than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields some 25 miles from the campus. Chucalissa Museum, a reconstructed American Indian village, is also part of the University's anthropological studies program and is a popular tourist attraction. In 1992, 36,477 guests from 49 states and 55 foreign countries visited Chucalissa. The University is guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. With instruction, service and research as interdependent goals, the University commits its resources to the social, cultural and economic welfare of the region through partnerships with public and private organizations. It is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges

TIGER TRADITIONS WHY TIGERS? When The University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers." The nickname was born. More and more the nickname "Tigers" was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue and Gray" when referring to the University. Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 points while allowing their opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors." The Tiger nickname would return. But not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for The University of Memphis. A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT For approximately 22 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games. The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred football booster group in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992. The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan

City, Ind., and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 a.m. C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference. In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11,1972. The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog. TOM II came to The University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in

Collierville, Tenn. His new home is 3,500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and a separate, complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM, who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds. SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis' official school colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students. THE LOGO The University of Memphis' official logo has been redesigned by Craig Thompson, of Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up over the center of the "M".
