2002 Season Outlook The 2002 men's soccer team is looking to build upon the valuable experience their young players gained throughout the 2001 season as they gather themselves to strive for a birth in the ConferenceUSA Tournament. This year's squad will feature 13 returning lettermen, including four starters that will be mixed along with 14 newcomers to the Memphis campus.

Forwards The offense, which ranked second in C-USA by averaging 7.2 points and 2.4 goals a game in 2001, will have to reload this season after the departure of Sean Fraser and Lars Thorstensen, who accounted for 52 percent of the Tigers'scoring last fall. Sophomore Matt Bryant is back after a stellar rookie campaign in which he finished third on the team in total points (17), goals (6), and fourth in assists (5). Also returning and joining Bryant up front are fellow sophomores Reid Greenslade, who made seven starts in 16 games last fall and John Reilly, who totaled six points on two goals and two assists as a rookie, and will split time between forMatt Bryant ward and midfield this year. Joining the sophomores are freshmen Daniel Ronan, another Colaiste Ide alum, Omar Jarun, a member of the Atlanta Lighting club team, and the explosive Andy Metcalf, who set a Tennessee state single season high school record with 65 goals last year.

Midfielders The midfielders will be led by the experience of senior Kirk Ricketts, who has played in over 40 career matches for the Tigers. Coach Grant expects the team will have a successful season, with a solid impact from Ricketts, who will improve by pacing himself and using his natural ability. Also expected to help guide the middle for Memphis is junior Dusty Brezovsky, who notched an assist along with five starts last fall, and sophomores Peter Cummings and Justin Dyer. During their freshmen seasons, Cummings made eight starts and appeared in all 10 C-USA matches, while Dyer notched 16 starts and scored a goal. Another returning letterwinner back is sophomore Daniel Dobson, who appeared in 11 matches as a freshman and will see time at left midfield as well as a defender. New to the Tiger midfield in 2002 are senior Ronnie Nillson, a transfer from Kirk Ricketts Coach Grant's alma mater Green Mountain College (Vt.) and a stable of talented freshmen that include Graig Barnwell, Scott Murrell, Phillip Presely, and local standout Dayton O'Brien, who can play any position in the midfield

Memphis Tiger Soccer

Defenders For the defense, Memphis will look to the experience of senior Chris Schmidt and junior Graham Gibbs. Schmidt, served as captain of the defense last year and has played in 39 career games, making 23 starts, while Gibbs has started 31 of 32 career matches and will be a key component to the Tigers' accomplishments in 2002. The defense will also look to the senior leadership and upperclassman experience of Darren Bevard this fall. Also back to help anchor the defense is sophomore Jake German, who appeared in 12 games, making six starts last season.

Graham Gibbs

The defense will also be bolstered by a strong recruiting class that includes Gary Connolly, of Colaiste Ide, J.R. Willimans, and local product, J.R. Thomas.

Goalkeepers Last season junior Clark Talley, suffered through a preseason foot injury that caused him to miss the Tigers' first seven games of the season. Talley's importance was quickly shown as the team stumbled to a 1-4-2 start without him, but notched wins in three of his first five games back in the line up. Overall Talley was in goal for four of the six Memphis wins last season. He is healthy after playing with the Memphis Express PDL Team this summer, and once again ready to provide the Tigers with his leadership this fall. This year Talley will be joined between the posts by a trio of skillful freshmen, Brian Baytos, Chris Post, and Simon Postma, who are all eager to step in and make the position highly competitive.

Schedule Memphis will once again be competing against a tough and competitive schedule in one of the nation's top conferences. Coach Grant also has the team facing established programs from around the country as it gives them a chance to see where they are on a national scale. The Tigers will begin their 2002 season at home against fellow C-USA member, TCU on August 31. The annual Memphis Diadora Tournament will run September 6-7 with the team facing the likes of San Francisco and Northeastern. A non-conference match against Lipscomb on September 11 will begin a stretch of nine straight road games over the next month that includes four league contests and non-league games at Stetson, Western Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and UNCWilmington. When the Tigers finally return home to action at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex on October 19 they have a rematch against C-USA rival Louisville, awaiting them. Memphis will then play four more matches at home against conference foes UAB, Marquette, Saint Louis, and against Belmont at Echles Field before ending the regular season at Charlotte on November 9. Saint Louis University will be hosting the 2002 C-USA Men's Soccer Tournament on November 1417.

COACHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS

COACHING BACKGROUND

7 SEASONS

Don't let the brogue fool you. In his three years since becoming head men's soccer coach at the University of Memphis, Richie Grant has made himself familiar with the culture of the MidSouth without hesitation. Grant has shown an uncanny ability to recruit a steady flow of talent from the southern United States. In keeping with prior tradition, Grant again recruited in Texas and his native Ireland, but also, ventured into Florida, Georgia and even north to Canada in hopes of finalizing the Tiger roster for the upcoming season. Culture aside, Grant has also grown accustomed to winning in Memphis. After posting a 7-11 record in his first year, Grant's Tigers put up a 14-6 record in 2000, doubling their win total from the previous season and helping Grant become the first Tiger coach to earn Conference USA Coach of the Year honors. In 2000, Grant led Memphis to its third-best record in school history as the Tigers advanced to the semi-finals of the C-USA Championship Tournament. The squad spent the vast majority of the season ranked in the NSCAA Midwest Region poll and finished the year rated fifth. Grant's offensive scheme also helped the Tigers finish their 2000 campaign ranked fifth in NCAA Division I for overall offense averaging 2.95 goals a contest. Last season, after being saddled with a plethora of untimely injuries and a loss of key personnel, the Tigers struggled throughout the majority of

the season. Still, under Grant's guidance and leadership, the U of M managed to place four players on the various all-conference squads following the conclusion of the 2001 season. As a player, Grant was a three-time NAIA All-American and two-time NAIA District V Player of the Year at Green Mountain Valley 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 semipro club team that competes in the A-league. After a season with the Thunder, Grant hung up his spikes for a coaching job at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, where he earned his Master's degree in Communication Studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95.

Grant has been an instructor at the YES Clinic for the past three seasons, which is held every year at the NCAA Division I Men's Final Four. He also acted as the head coach of the U-17 SuperClubs national all-star team, which toured England last summer for a week of matches against top international competition. Grant is single and has four siblings; two sisters who live in England and two brothers who reside in Ireland and Australia. His parents, Richie and Annette, live in Dublin, Ireland Throughout his three-year tenure, Grant has coached a total of five all-conference performers.

Memphis Tiger Soccer

2002 Media Guide

2001 Season Recap Excitement began to grow as the 2001 season approached as one full of promise and high hopes. The Tigers were coming off the 2000 campaign, in which they equaled a school record with 14 wins and established new program marks for goals (59), assists (59), and total points (177). The achievements of 2000 also brought on the Tigers toughest schedule to date which included four games against teams ranked in the top eight nationally, including two games against the number one team in the country. The team also took the field against five different NCAA Tournament qualifiers that won a combined seven post-season games in the 48 team field in 2001. The Tigers then ran into another speed bump in the preseason when Conference USA All-Freshman Team goalkeeper, Clark Talley suffered a foot injury, forcing him to miss the first seven games of the season. Without Talley the team struggled to a 1-4-2 start, but quickly rebounded to win three of his first five games back. The season began the first of September in Omaha, Nebraska with the Diadora Challenge on the campus of Creighton University. In the first game the Tigers played the number one nationally ranked host school to a 0-0 tie after two scoreless overtime periods. Despite starting five true freshman, due to suspensions to upperclassmen, Memphis was able to hand the perennial Missouri Valley Conference power its first tie since the 1999 season. The team then completed their stay in the Cornhusker State a day later with a 2-1 loss to Drake, despite the Tigers' first goal of the season by freshman Matt Bryant. For their performance during the weekend Bryant and sophomore Grant Paule were selected to the All-Tournament Team. Upon returning home the Tigers hosted Conference USA (C-USA) foe UNC-Charlotte and Illinois-Chicago (UIC) in the Third Annual Memphis Diadora Tournament. Against Charlotte, the Tigers drew a 1 -1 tie in double overtime after Matt Bryant senior Lars Thorstensen evened the score with a penalty kick goal in the 68th minute. The team then closed out the tournament, by suffering a 4-0 loss at the hands of UIC. Memphis continued its early season tournament play as they traveled to participate in the first ever TCU Adidas Classic in Fort Worth, Texas. In the first game of the Classic the Tigers faced C-USA newcomer TCU, and fell by a final of 4-2. Next Memphis faced the nation's number one team for the second time this season when they were dealt a 7-0 defeat by Southern Methodist (SMU). The Mustangs held a slight 1-0 lead at the midway point, before the Tigers fell apart allowing six goals in the second stanza leaving the team at 0-4-2 on the season. The Mike Rose Soccer Complex was a welcome sight as the Tigers returned home to notch their first win of the season in a 3-2 victory over league rookie East Carolina. Freshman John Reilly put Memphis on top to stay with a goal in the 82nd minute after ECU had evened the score just one minute earlier. The Tigers' winning streak reached two games one day later when Talley returned in goal and senior Lars Thorstensen totaled two goals in a 4-1 defeat of Vanderbilt to run their overall record to 2-4-2. For his accomplishments during the week, Thorstensen was selected the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending September 30th, after registering three goals, including a game winner as the Tigers went 20 during the week long span.

After a 2-1 loss at Marquette in which they were outshot 11 -4, the Tigers regrouped as they traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to face number eight nationally ranked UAB. Against UAB the team fell behind 2-0 at intermission before staging a comeback behind three second-half goals from Fraser. His game-winning goal in the 86th minute gave Memphis its first regular season win over a ranked opponent since the 1997 season and stopped a 16-game unbeaten streak by UAB, as the Tigers improved to 4-6-2 overall and 2-3-1 in C-USA. The team looked to make it two league wins in a row, but fell short when visiting Cincinnati scored the lone goal in a 1 -0 match less than a minute before the first-half horn. NCAA Tournament qualifier, South Florida then handed the Tigers a 5-2 defeat at home despite two goals from Fraser and two assists from Thorstensen. Looking to snap a two game C-USA ^ Lars Thorsten losing streak and remain eligible for s'6nsen the league tournament, Memphis took on Louisville in Kentucky. The Tigers went ahead 3-2 after a Thorstensen goal in the 63rd minute, but could not closeout the win as the Cardinals netted the game winner seven minutes into the first overtime period to claim a 4-3 victory. Looking to improve their record (4-9-2; 2-6-1), the team returned home to face first year NCAA Division I opponent, Lipscomb. The Tigers' offense erupted, equalling a school record 10 goals in the 10-0 defeat. Fraser became the school's All-Time Leader in total points, surpassing Donal McDonagh's previous mark of 104, during the game in which he also set new single game records for goals (5) and total points (11). Bryant added his first career hat trick and Thorstensen chipped in three assists in the contest as the Tigers held a 25-0 advantage in shots taken. Memphis then finished at 6-9-2 overall and 3-6-1 in C-USA when they closed out the 2001 season at home by claiming a 4-1 decision over conference foe DePaul. Fraser, who tallied a goal and two assists in the game, establish new single season Tiger records for goals (18) and total points (42) as he closed out his record setting career with 109 points. Earning recognition by C-USA were Fraser, a First Team selection, senior Justin Stralka, a Second Team selection, and Thorstensen and senior Stephen Lewis, who were both named Third Team All-Conference. Being named to the C-USA Commissioners Academic Honor Roll were seniors Matsuba and Stralka, juniors Darren Bevard and Chris Schmidt, and freshman Bryant, Justin Dyer, and Jacob German. In addition to his league honor, Fraser was also tabbed a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Adidas All-Midwest Region Second Team member. While the 2001 season did not produce the desired outcomes the Tigers would have like, the team did win their final two games and is returning 13 lettermen to next year's squad. Coach Grant also will be welcoming 14 newcomers to campus who are eager to put in place foundations that the Tigers can build upon for future successes.

Sean Fraser In the next game, Memphis was unable to hold a 2-1 halftime advantage at number four ranked and eventual C-USA champion Saint Louis as the team lost by a final of 3-2. The Tigers then made it three wins in their last four games at Belmont, when they received two goals from senior Sean Fraser and three assists from senior Ken Matsuba in a 5-1 victory.

(142411 Brooks Monaghan is not one to back down from a challenge. He didn't six years ago when he helped start the women's soccer program at Memphis from scratch as the goalkeepers' coach, and three years ago when he was offered the head coaching position, the 29-year-old coach didn't flinch. "I was excited and nervous at the same time," Monaghan said after he accepted the post. "Going from goalkeeper coach to head coach is a big stepping stone. The program was very average at the time and I found that to be challenging. I always love a good challenge." It would have been easy for Monaghan to give up on a fledgling program that had combined to win just 10 games the previous two seasons and notched just one conference win the year before he took over, but instead the former U of M goalkeeper grabbed the reins and began to steer the Lady Tigers back on course. In his first season, Monaghan guided the Lady Tigers to a nine-win season and within one victory of a berth in the Conference USA Championship Tournament. The Lady Tigers' four-game improvement was the best in the program's brief six-year history. As is the case with any team, an increase in victories leads to an increase in expectations. But Monaghan's young Tigers suffered through some growing pains in 2001 and saw the promise of an exciting season fall victim to nine one-goal losses and four others by just two goals as they finished the campaign at 5-13-1. "Even though our record doesn't show it, we played better in 2001 than we did in 2000 and I'm proud of that," Monaghan said. "We had a lot of heartbreaking losses last season, but we'll learn from that and be a better team because of it. These girls are still young and have a lot of soccer ahead of them here at Memphis." With 10 newcomers on the squad, the 2001 season did have its bright spots and showed the Lady Tigers are on the brink of becoming a toptier team in C-USA. The game that signified that the most was the Lady Tigers' league finale thumping of South Florida. Memphis beat the Bulls 3-0 and extracted revenge from a 7-0 loss at the hands of USF in 2000. Another bright spot was the program's first-ever victory over

SEC-foe Ole Miss. The Lady Tigers defeated the Rebels 1 0 to snap a five-game winless streak against Ole Miss. With two recruiting classes full of talented players and a number of dependable upperclassmen, Monaghan has the U of M program back on track and headed in the right direction. "It takes time to build a program and get players adjusted to your style of coaching," Monaghan said. "And I finally feel like we're getting there. I Monaghan was an all-Conference have two of my recruiting Goalkeeper during his playing days classes in place and things are at the U of M. coming together nicely for us." Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger Head Coach, Monaghan served as the primary goalkeeper's coach and was a vital part of the Memphis coaching staff during the program's first four seasons. Under Monaghan's guidance, the Lady Tigers' goals against average dropped from 2.74 in 1995 to 1.77 in 1999. As a player, Monaghan enjoyed an impressive collegiate career. After spending his freshman year at Evansville, Monaghan transferred to the U of M and helped lead the Tigers to a share of the conference championship in 1992 and an outright title in 1993. As the Tiger goalkeeper, Monaghan posted a 0.80 goals against average to go with 11 shutouts and was named First Team all-Great Midwest Conference as a junior. A prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan's college career earned him a spot on the U-20 national squad. Monaghan is hoping that the success he enjoyed as a player will continue as a coach.

Question and Answer with Coach Monaghan

"/ don't know how I can't be excited." Q. Looking back over your first two seasons as the head coach, talk about the state of the program and where you see the program headed in the future? A. "I definitely think the program is headed in the right direction. When coaches take over programs, they want to bring in their own ideas and their own players. This is my second recruiting class leading up to 2002 and we're very excited about them. We are very young having 13 new players this year and 10 last year, but we do have three seniors who should help guide them along. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people out there, but I still hink it takes a while to build a program. I do think everything is going in the right direction though and we have continued over the past three years to strengthen our program. I think we're getting to where we want to be." Q. What has you most excited about the upcoming season? A. "I'm excited about everything. We had a great Spring. We worked the girls really hard and we think they benefitted from it. We also added some very talented players to this year's squad. We have 13 new kids coming in and all of them I am very familiar with. I think they'll be able to step in and contribute right away. Also what excites me is that we ended the year on a good note. It took us a while to gel as a team, but when we finally came together, we started to see success. A lot of the year, we started seven freshman, which is a lot out of 11 players and those kids that played a lot for us last year have a year under their belt and a year of experience which will make them that much better this year. Plus the talent of the new players, I don't know how I can't be excited." Q. What area of the team do you see the most promise in and what area do you think the squad will need to improve the most before the opening match vs. Florida Atlantic? A. "From an offensive standpoint, I think we are going to be much stronger than last year. We asked quite a few players to play in new positions, attack roles that they were not familiar with last year. Those kids did a great job adapting to their roles, but this year we brought in several offensive players that will take some pressure off of them and allow them to return to their regular positions which we feel will benefit the team the most. We were very solid from a defensive standpoint, I think we lost nine games by just one goal. We were in every game we played, we just didn't score goals. So this year, from a recruiting standpoint, I think we covered that." "With so many new players, it takes time for those kids to adapt to each other. We feel that everybody who is returning has really become close both off and on the field and a team that is close off the field is usually a very good team on the field. If we can get everybody on the same page with all those new players, we have a chance to do something special. That is the area where we need to work at the most before the first match. I think we have all the talent in the world, the hard part will be trying to get these girls to gel right away." Q. You have your top goal scorer returning from last season, and she is a senior. What does having a player like Alison Baker mean to a team that is comprised of nearly half newcomers? A. "AN Baker was one of the players that had to play out of position last year. She is going to score her goals, but she is not a true goal scorer. She is a true center mid that creates things for us. She creates opportunities for other players. This year, she is going to have players to get the ball to up top that can score those goals. She is also going to be looked upon as a leader. She is very talented and a heck of an athlete. Whether she is the captain or not, she will be a role model for this young team, so she plays a very important role in everything. She is a fierce competitor who hates to lose and I think that will rub off on these kids. And the more she rubs off on them, the better off we will be."

Tigers and from CBU transfer Anna Thorsdottir who has one season of eligibility at U ofM? A. "I've got high expectations for Becca. We started playing her up top towards the end of the Fall last year and into the Spring of this year, and I think that is her true position. Unfortunately, we only have one year left with Becca, but I think she is going to do great things up top for us. She is also a leader who works her tail off and if we can get the new kids to look up to her and follow her, it's going to benefit the team. We think Becca is going to score a lot of goals for us." "Anna is also a big-time competitor. She works hard at every practice and is coming from a good program at CBU. She was a leader on that team and I've talked to Anna and we don't want her to come in like a typical freshman. She's been through good times and hard times and she knows what it takes to be a leader. We've asked her to come in here and be a leader. Anna is a very talented player and we've got high expectations for her. She can play several positions and she will be a bonus for us." Q. What do you want your team to get out of the first five non-conference games before you open C-USA play with Saint Louis on Sept. 20? A. "It's all about preparation. Obviously, we want to win those first five games as bad as any of our games, but for us, our goal is to win the conference tournament and if you do that, you get an NCAA bid. I think it's realistic to set the goals that high. From last year, if we're going to go from last year's record and last year's conference record to complete that goal, we have our work cut out for us. We feel like we have the talent to do it though, like I said earlier, it's all about preparation. Hopefully those first five games will prepare us to beat Saint Louis on September 20th. By the time we reach that game, hopefully we'll have all of our flaws out and be raring to go." Q. The 2002 roster has 14 foreigners and 12 Americans, is it difficult as the coach to get the players to adjust to each one's differing styles of play? A. "I think it's definitely a concern we have of getting everyone on the same page, but as far as a negative standpoint, I don't think there is one. Each player, whether they are from England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Sweden or Denmark, brings their own ideas and you can take those ideas and have the other players learn from them. The foreigners realize from an athletic standpoint, the Americans may be a little above them, and see that and work hard to improve. From an American standpoint, they see that foreigners are a bit better technically and likewise they see that and work hard at that. As far as having foreigners on a team, I think it is a positive thing. They grow up in a soccer environment their whole lives and they live and die by it. I think that has rubbed off a lot on our kids. To have so many foreigners is a plus for us." Q. Nine of the 13 losses last season were by just one goal and the team's five victories all came via the shutout, how can you build on those performances for the 2002 season? A. "I think everyone on our team knows that we lost nine of 13 games by just one goal. We struggled scoring goals last season and we feel with the addition of the players we've added this year, that that will not be a concern. Also, we were close in every match we played. We didn't really get beaten by any team, we were just unfortunate more than we came out on the fortunate end. I think our kids realize that we are very close to being something very special, as a coach you just have to keep emphasizing how close we were. The kids worked hard last year, but as a coach you have to remind these kids that we were this close last year that we need to put in the extra work to put us over the top. It's one thing when your kids realize they were close, but it's another when they believe in themselves. I think our kids do believe in themselves. They had a lot of heartache last year losing nine games by one goal, and as a coach I am going to remind them of that before every game and hopefully get a little more out of them."

There is no part of the University of Memphis women's soccer program that Jodi Fisher is unfamiliar with. She has moved up the ranks from player to assistant coach with some titles in between during her eight seasons with the program. Fisher was a forward for the Lady Tigers during the season of the program's inception in 1995 and was named graduate assistant coach in 1999. After former U of M assistant coach Clinton Browne announced his plans to move to Lambuth University in the spring of 2001, Fisher stepped into the role vacated by Browne.

2002 Season Outlook

The 2002 lady Tigers-. Preparing for Success If there was one glaring weakness from the 2001 Lady Tigers' season it was the team's inability to score goals. The squad averaged just 1.23 goals per game scoring 24 times in 19 contests. That lack of goal scoring can generally be blamed on two components: a defense-first mentality which resulted primarily from an absence of true forwards on the roster. But those two components are likely to change in 2002 as head coach Brooks Monaghan enters his third season at the helm of the Lady Tigers with a slew of offensive-minded newcomers and a talented group of defenders who give Monaghan the depth he has coveted. Monaghan will have 13 newcomers on his 26-member roster with five of those players listed as forwards. Sophomore Kirsty Marr is the most notable of the group. The Dundee, Scotland native spent her first year in the United States at Lindsey Wilson College where she earned NAIA All-America honors after scoring 31 goals. "With the talent we have coming in up top, we are going to be able to be the aggressors this season," Monaghan said. "We can attack more and not have to put so much pressure on Kat (goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell) and the defense." Here's a position-by-position breakdown of the 2002 Lady Tigers: FORWARDS The forward spot was the central focus of Monaghan's recruiting efforts in the spring and if you ask the coach, he'll tell you he hit a home run. The Lady Tigers added five signees to play with senior Becca Amorowicz who will be playing her first full season up top. Along with Marr, a trio of freshmen and junior Sinead Coakley should enhance an offensive attack that struggled to score goals in 2001. Amy Thessen is a front-runner from California that should bring speed and size to the front line. Nicky McLeod is a native of England who can play outwide or in the middle for the Lady Tigers. She brings good pace and great serving ability to the mix. Kristan Wilson is a freshman from Indianapolis, Ind., who has great skill in the air and should help the U of M attack inside the penalty box. 'We're going to have a lot of weapons up top," Monaghan said. That is something we lacked last year and we didn't score a whole lot of goals. I don't think that will be a problem this year." MIDFIELDERS Senior Alison Baker will be back at her normal position in the center midfield spot after spending most of last season as an attacking midfielder. Paired with sophomore Annika Moller, the duo, who were ranked one-two on the team in scoring last season, forms a strong contingent in the middle of the field for the Lady Tigers. Also returning is sophomore Carina Vilhodt. The Denmark native contributed big time as a freshman in 2001 and that fact alone should make her even better the second time around. Another returning sophomore is Suzie Wells. Monaghan said she did a fabulous job for the team last year and he expects the same this season. The Lady Tigers have five newcomers to go with their four returners at the midfield spots which should provide a serious amount of depth that has been lacking in years past. Freshman Erin Ferris is a superb athlete from Columbus, Ohio, who can play both in the center or on the outside for the Lady Tigers. Elizabeth Gardner is an experienced freshman who has played for one of the best Club teams in the United States throughout high school. The Peachtree City, Ga., native is a versatile player who can also play on the back line. Robyn Smart is a freshman from from Noblesville, Ind., who Monaghan expects to contribute right away. Smart is an all-around athlete who can play anywhere on the field and should help the Lady Tigers' aerial attack. Sophomore LeAnne McGee is a skilled player who has a year of collegiate experience under her belt and should challenge the returners for playing time right away.

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

Sophomore Annika Mollerand her Lady Tiger teammates plan to make celebrating goals a more common occurrence during their 2002 season. Senior Anna Thorsdottir is a transfer from Christian Brothers who has one year of eligibility remaining. She was a leader on the field at CBU and Monaghan expects the same from her at U of M. Junior Monica Powell also returns for the Lady Tigers after seeing action in 17 contests in 2001. "We won't have a problem finding the right players at midfield," Monaghan said. "We have so much depth here. I think we'll be very solid at the midfield spots." DEFENDERS The Lady Tigers return sweeper Angela Willoughby, who will be back at 100 percent after missing the last four matches with a knee injury in 2001. Willoughby was one of the Lady Tigers' top players last season and her aggressive style is a bonus to the defense. Sophomore Amy Ciezki also contributed to the back line as a freshman and did a solid job for the U of M in 15 contests. Sophomore Mary Shelton was one of the more pleasant surprises for Monaghan last season. She helped solidify the back line and has ability to move up and help the offense. Also helping out the back line will be junior Veronica Ruiz. Newcomers on the back line include sophomore Jocelyn Raine and freshman Courtney Melton. Both are tough, physical players with good size to combat opposing offenses and should contribute right off the bat. "Defense was not our problem last year. We had a strong defense and didn't give up many goals," Monaghan said. "Defender is another spot where we feel like we have a lot of depth and any one of the kids can step in and do a great job for us." GOALKEEPERS Junior goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell will again anchor this year's Lady Tiger defense. The Katrineholm, Sweden, native has been Memphis' primary goalkeeper for the last two seasons. And after adjusting to the rigors of Conference USA her freshman season, Wicksell used her sophomore season to establish herself as one of the league's best netminders. She posted a school-record five shutouts and dropped her goals against average from 2.78 in 2000 to just 1.65 in 2001. "Katarina had a terrific season for us last year and we expect even bigger things from her this year," Monaghan said. "She really came up big for us on several occasions and the defense can play with more confidence knowing she is back there." Backing Wicksell up on paper will be junior Kari Rawe and freshman Lindy Smart. Rawe has played in nine contests for the Lady Tigers in two seasons and Smart was a prep standout at Harbor Creek H.S. in Erie, Pa. Both players will push Wicksell for the starting spot.

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

2002 Media Guide

2001 Lady Tigers Season In Review Success is not always measured by wins and losses. Case in point: the 2001 Lady Tiger soccer team. On paper, when you glance at the 5-13-1 (3-7 C-USA) record the team posted last year, it would be simple to conclude that Brooks Monaghan's second season as women's soccer coach at his alma mater went relatively unsuccessful. Ask Monaghan his conclusion and he has a different answer. "Some people may not agree with me, but I look back at last season and overall I'm pleased with the way things turned out," he said. "Our record was not indicative of how well we played. Sure I would have liked to have been on the winning side more, but we were in every game last season and that says a lot about a young team." Monaghan was not exaggerating when he labeled his 2001 squad as young. The roster was comprised of 17 underclassmen and a trio of juniors and seniors. On top of that 10 of the 17 underclassmen were freshman and eight members of Monaghan's first recruiting class saw extensive action in their first seasons. And seeing the players contribute that he recruited to the U of M made the season even more pleasing to the second-year head coach. In fact, it was two freshmen, Annika Moller and Mary Shelton, who were the only players to start all 19 contests for the Lady Tigers. "For those kids to step in and get playing time right away is only going to help us in the future," Monaghan added. "Getting that year of experience will make them better players and in turn will make our team much better." The area where the 2001 Lady Tigers excelled the most was defense which should come as no surprise to Monaghan, who Midfielder Alison Baker led the Lady was an All-Conference goalTigers' in goals (6), assists (2) and keeperforthe Tigers during his points (14) in 2001 playing days. The U of Mailowed only 1.7 goals a game in 2001 after giving up 2.55 in Monaghan's first season on the job. The overall defensive improvement that last year's squad showed from the 2000 season cannot go without mention. After allowing 51 goals on 223 shots the previous season, Tiger goalkeepers allowed just 32 of 231 shots to sneak past them in 2001. "It took Katarinaayearto adapt to ourleague, but she really established herself last year," Monaghan said. "She has a chance to be one of the best goalies in the conference this season and it gives our team a lot of confidence knowing she is defending our goal." Wicksell recorded a school-record five shutouts in 2001 which resulted in the team's five victories for the season. And after the team allowed four or more goals on five different occasions her freshman season, it only happened once last season in a 43 overtime loss to Mississippi State. Even though the 2000 squad put up a better record at 9-11 than the 2001 squad, seven of its losses were by three or more goals. Compare that with the fact that last year the Lady Tigers' lost nine of their 13 games by just one goal and their otherfour losses were all two-goal deficits and one begins to see why Monaghan's conclusion is rat far-fetched at all.

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer

After opening their season with a 3-2 loss to Missouri, a 2-2 draw with Southwest Missouri State and a 2-0 loss to Evansville, the Lady Tigers edged into the win column with a 3-0 blanking of UT-Martin. Their victory over the Skyhawks set the stage for one of the biggest wins in school history. Junior Alison Baker provided the dramatics early in U of M's match with SEC-foe Ole Miss. In the sixth minute, Baker found the back of the net after drilling a 25-yard half-volley past the Rebel goalkeeper. Freshman Susannah Wells recorded the assist and that would be the only goal the Lady Tigers would need as they beat Ole Miss for the first-time in school history. That was a huge win for our program," Monaghan said. "It was big for our girls and big for recruiting. Locally, the kids see Ole Miss and Mississippi State as the highprofile teams and for us to beat Ole Miss and play State so close, really opened some eyes around here. The attitude toward U of M soccer is changing." The modest two-game winning streak quickly came to a halt for the Lady Tigers as they opened C-USA play with a 2-0 loss to Saint Louis. After a 3-2 setback to Marquette followed by a 2-1 non-conference loss to Vanderbilt, U of M righted the ship and snapped the three-game skid with a 1 -0 victory over DePaul. Moller scored the only goal in the 75th minute of the match off an assist by senior Michelle Meduri. Sitting at 3-5-1 overall the Lady Tigers next ran into a buzzsaw called Cincinnati. The Lady Bearcats, who ended up running the table at 10-0 in C-USA play, dealt U of M a 2-0 loss and started a season-long six-game slide for the Lady Tigers. A stretch of five consecutive one-goal losses finally came to an end when the Lady Tigers returned the favor with a 1 -0 victory at TCU. Shelton took matters into her own feet stealing the ball in front of the Horned Frogs' goal and putting the ball past keeper Adrianne Labovitz for the decisive goal. The TCU victory began a stretch of four games that Monaghan said his team finally started coming together. The Lady Tigers went just 2-2 in those four games, but the head coach saw his team begin to gel. U of M dropped a 3-1 decision to UAB, but bounced back by trouncing South Florida 3-0. Not only was the victory a nice way to cap off the C-USA season, but it gave the Lady Tigers a sense of revenge after the Bulls handed the 2000 squad its worse loss (7-0) of the season. Moller had a seasonhigh three points vs. USF scoring the first goal and assisting on the third. Freshman Carina Vilhodt added a pair of assists. The Lady Tigers concluded their season with a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss in Starkville to Mississippi State. Moller put U of M on top in just the second minute with her fifth goal of the season. Then, senior Becca Amrozowicz gave the Lady Tigers a 2-0 cushion in the 22nd minute, but three unanswered goals by MSU standout Amy Van Szandt quickly gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the game in the 63rd minute. Baker, who assisted on the first two Lady Tiger goals, scored the tying goal in the 67th minute, but a goal by Jessi Moore in the 13th minute of overtime gave MSU the victory. Baker ended the season as the team's leading scorer. The junior midfielder scored 14 points on six goals and two assists while Moller was second on the team in scoring with 12 points. The freshman from Sweden found the goal five times and also had two assists. Amrozowicz, who made the transition from midfield to forward in the middle of the season, scored three goals and added two assists to finish third on the team with eight points. The junior from Strongsville, Ohio, was one of several Lady Tigers who had to play a new position. "All in all, I couldn't have asked for much more out of our kids," Monaghan said. "A lot of kids were asked to play positions they had never played before, but they all stepped up to the challenge."

Jr -i University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban university committed to scholarly accomplishments of our students and faculty and to the enhancement of our community. The University of Memphis offers 15 bachelor's degrees in more than 50 majors and 70 concentrations, master's degrees in 46 subjects and doctoral degrees in 21 disciplines, in addition to the Juris Doctor (law) and a specialist degree in education. The University of Memphis campus is located on 1,160 acres with nearly 200 buildings at more than four sites. During a typical semester, students come from almost every state and many foreign countries. The average age of full-time undergraduates is 23. The average ACT score for entering freshman is 22.

he University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president. Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tiger as the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict.) Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the academic counseling offices. In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College. Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W. Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935 the school's agriculture department was discontinued. The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946 the first alumnus was named president, J. Millard "Jack" Smith. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semester system. In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959 the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum. The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom. In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed. As the century closed, a 1,200-seat theater was being completed, and plans were underway for the FedEx Emerging Technology Center adjacent to the Fogelman College of Business and Economics and a full-service hotel and hospitality training facility, a $ 15 million gift from Holiday Inns founder Kemmons Wilson. Today, The University of Memphis is one of Tennessee's two comprehensive institutions of higher learning. Situated on an urban campus in the state's largest city, it is the flagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually. With an enrollment of approximately 20,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five stateapproved centers of excellence. Mission: The University of Memphis is a doctoral degree-granting urban research university committed to excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and professional education; in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge; in service to the metropolitan community, state, and nation; and in the preparation of a diverse student population for successful careers and meaningful participation in a global society. The University of Memphis remains committed to the education of a non-racially identifiable student body and promotes diversity and access without regard to race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.

The Tiger football team began the Tommy West era in 2001 and came within a matter of seconds of breaking the school's 30-year bowl drought. Memphis finished the season with a record of 5-6, matching the most victories by the U of M since the 1994 campaign. The Tigers notched wins over UT-Chattanooga, South Florida, Soul the final contest of the year with a 5-5 record and bowl scouts on hand to award battled to the final fours seconds of the contest before the Bearcats pulled out the 3 honors and freshman punter James Gaither was named to two All-America Teams.

The 2001 volleyball season will go down as one of the most successful seasons in recent history. The squad opened the year with a 100 record, marking the best start in school history. The previous best was a 7-0 mark to open the 1997 season. The Tigers won both the UNC Asheville and Kent State tournaments, and placed several players on the all-tournament teams. Senior Ainie Hamilton was named the MVP at both events, while senior Ginger Garrett was named as an all-tournament pick at both tournaments. Senior Adrianne Edmonds garnered honors at the Kent State tournament. The Tigers closed out the season with a 22-10 record, which was the best in coach Carrie Yerty's six years at the helm of the program. It also marked the best season for the Tigers since 1994. Amie Hamilton, who broke the C-USA career record for service aces, was named to the all-C-USA second team.

First year women's soccer head coach Brooks Monaghan guided the young Lady Tigers to a 5-13-1 mark. The 2001 Lady Tigers featured 17 first and second year players and were close to sweeping Mid-South rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Lady Tigers topped the Rebels 1-0 before suffering a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the Bulldogs in the 2001 season finale. Junior midfielder AH Baker and freshman sweeper Annika Holier were named to the Under-23 National Amateur Team.

After an impressive 14-6 record and semi-final appearance in the C-USA tournament following the 2000 season, expectations were high for the U of M soccer team in 2001. However, plagued by several key injuries and a rough two-week preseason tour of Ireland, the Tigers found themselves just one win shy of advancing to postseason play at 6-9-2. Even on a down year, head coach Richie Grant's eye for talent was never in question, as four seniors received all-conference honors including first-team forward Sean Fraser, second-team midfielder Justin Stralka and a pair of third-team performers in defender Stephen Lewis and forward Lars Thorstensen. Both Fraser and Thorstensen were also recognized on two separate occasions as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week.

The women's cross country claimed its first meet title in recent memory in the 2001 season winning the Arkansas State/Pepsi Invitational in Jonesboro, Ark. The Lady Tigers finished 31 points ahead of second place Ole Miss. Memphis also had a second place finish in the Murray State Invitational. Individually, senior Wendy Ragle had an outstanding season with three top three finishes during the season.

In men's cross country, the Tigers won the Plough Park Invitational to open the season as Balazs Laszlo won the individual title in the four-mile run. The men also claimed a second-place finish at the Murray State Invitational as Derek Nakluski, Laszlo, and Ricky McLain finished third, fourth and fifth respectively in the meet. Memphis finished sixth in the C-USA Championships with Laszlo claiming a top 20 finish at 19th.

Phil Chamberlain's Tigers had one of the best seasons in Memphis history. The Tigers posted a 16-8 record, and were undefeated in CUSA play during the regular season at 6-0. Eight of the Tigers' 16 victories came against ranked teams as Memphis played one of the nation's toughest schedules. Senior Michael Chamberlain and freshman Alex Bucewicz were honored for their stellar play as both were named C-USA Player of the Week once during the season. Memphis won two team titles this year, claiming the UC-lrvine Anteater Classic and sharing the title of the H.E.B. Invitational in Corpus Christ!, Texas.

Women's tennis finished the 2002 season at 5-16, but had several highlights. Junior Monica Gonzalez-Gordo (Barcelona, Spain) had one of the greatest seasons in school history. The transfer from Baylor posted a 15-1 record in singles play and paired with junior Sabrina Lindemann to go 18-2 in doubles play. Lindemann, an Academic All-America nominee, was just as successful off the court, earning her bachelor's degree in sports management in just three years. She will play her fourth and final season next year as a graduate student. Head coach Charlotte Peterson won her 300th career match, making her only the second women's coach at Memphis to reach that level joining former women's basketball coach Mary Lou Johns on that exclusive list.

The Memphis men's golf team, under the direction of 31-year veteran coach Jim Cook, competed in 10 tournaments in 2001-02. The team had four top 10 finishes during the season, including a sixth-place finish in the South Alabama Fall Beach Classic. Sophomore David Jeans was one of the team's top players. He averaged 74.88 strokes per round during the season, and placed in a tie for 26th at the CUSA Championships.

Jf E M The Tigers captured their first post-season title in any intercollegiate sport, winning the 2002 Owens Corning NIT championship. It was Memphis' 15th appearance in the NIT. The U of M posted a 27-9 record, marking the squad's most wins since 1985-86. The team's 75 percent winning streak also marked the best percentage since the 1986-87 squad finished at 26-8. Under second-year coach John Calipari, Memphis won 20+ games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since consecutive 20-win years during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. Memphis won Conference USA's national Division by three games, posting a 12-4 record in league play, and became the first repeat National Division title champion since the league went to the two-division system. The Tigers posted a 19-2 record at home, including a 7-1 mark in C-USA play. For a second straight year the U of M set an attendance record drawing 349,737 over 21 dates. The 16,654 average over 21 dates ranks second all-time only to last year when Memphis averaged 17,110. Memphis's average attendance through 18 regular-season home games was 18,241.

The 2001 -02 season will go down in the books as one of the most uncharacteristic Lady Tiger basketball seasons in nearly 10 years. Early on, coach Joyc Lee-McNelis knew adding seven new faces to a roster that only had two seniors, a junior and four sophomores, would yield inconsistencies. Memphis showed some promise early in the season. It was the end of the season, when McNeils' squads typically peak, that was hard to accept as the U of M saw a seven-game losing streak and an early exit from the C-USA Tournament. Memphis ended with an 1 1 - 1 7 overall record that included a disappointing 2-12 record in games played outside of Memphis. The seven-game losing streak was the longest since the 1990-91 season, and the 11 wins was the least for a Lady Tiger squad since that same season. There were several positives to note, though . On Feb. 3, 2002, 5-6 point guard Kalara McFadyen recorded what is believed to be the first-ever triple-double in NCAA history that did not include a single shot taken. She hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out 12 assists and totaled 10 steals in the win. She was named a C-USA co-Player of the Week for her effort and was featured in various national publications including USA Today, Sports Illustrated and the New York Times. Junior Shannon Hamp was named to the all-C-USA second team after leading Memphis in scoring all season long.

The 2002 season saw the Tigers battle inexperience and far too many untimely injuries. Still, despite all the setbacks Memphis found a way to shine on an individual level within both the record books and the postseason watch. Catcher Barrett Smith, capped a career with over 160 games, a lifetime average of .314 and ranked second in career home runs with 28 and among the all-time top ten in hits and RBI. Junior outfielder Paul Cookman was the C-USA Hitter of the Week on March 25 and rookie shortstop Brent Dlugach brought a glimpse of the future after receiving a selection to the league's All-Freshman team.

Under the direction of interim coach Katie Rump, the Lady Tiger golf team won two tournaments in 2001-02 and again received a bid to the NCAA Regional Championships. The Lady Tigers opened the season by winning the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate, while sophomore Jennifer Jaszek won the individual title for her first collegiate victory. The Lady Tigers also won the Edwin Watts/Carolinas Classic at Pinehurst #8 and junior Marianne Ruud won the individual title. Memphis placed fourth at the C-USA Championships and Meaghan Francella and Jennifer Jaszek were named to the All-Conference Team. The Lady Tigers traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the NCAA East Regional and placed 11th. Francella received her second consecutive individual bid to the NCAA Championships and competed in Auburn, Washington. She tied for 96th.

The 2001 season marked the first time in nine years that a University of Memphis men's track and field student-athlete did not win an indoor conference championship, but sophomore Greg Doughty's conference championship in the javelin at the outdoor championships kept the Tigers' 10-year outdoor streak alive. After finishing as runner-up in the javelin as a freshman. Doughty claimed the Tigers' only event championship of 2001, helping the Tigers to a 7th place finish at the outdoor championships, matching their indoor finish. Junior Ryan Smith finished second in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the outdoor meet, while the 4x400-meter relay team finished third. Delvit Rogers, who holds the Memphis indoor triple jump and outdoor long jump records, finished third in the triple in his last season in a Tiger uniform.

Sophomore Lisa-Marie Hyman's conference championship in the outdoor triple jump gave the Lady Tiger track and field program conference championships in back-to-back years for just the third time since the program was reinstated in 1985. Hyman, who was the runner-up in the triple jump at the Conference USA indoor meet, helped the Lady Tigers to a 10th place finish at the outdoor meet. The women's 4x100 meter relay team captured third at the outdoor meet, finishing behind nationally-ranked powerhouses TCU and Houston and defeating the fourth-place finishers by half a second. Senior Kameilah Amaya posted the Lady Tigers' other third place finish. Also powering the Lady Tigers in the jumps was freshman Ashley Reed. The Memphis, Tenn. native finished sixth in the long jump with a leap of 5.68 meters.

One of the most visible projects has been the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A club. The new 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. Downtown is served by the Main Street Trolley. The trolley system, which first opened in April of 1993, currently consists of the Main Street Line which passes near such Memphis landmarks as Beale Street, the Pinch District, Court Square and the National Civil Rights Museum. The Riverfront Loop includes a station in front of The Pyramid and offers riders a unique vista of the Mississippi River. Memphis musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as "The Memphis Blues." The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who performed along Beale included Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and B.B. King. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and Entertainment Center which opened this past year. The 300,000 square foot retail complex features a 21-screen movie theater and 3D IMAX

as well as several theme restaurants and shopping venues. Also located within a block _-. of Beale Street is Gibson Guitar Memphis which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Also on the same property is the Smithsonian's Rock 'n' Soul Museum which includes artifacts documenting music's past. Memphis' musical roots also includes Stax and HiRecords as well as Sun Records recording studios. Stax became known for "sweet soul music" through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records' most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Pickens and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley's Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in America after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the refurbished Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling broadway shows as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city's location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting in the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation's largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world's busiest cargo airport in the world. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day. Memphis is also a twice daily stop by Amtrak's City of New Orleans which runs from Chicago to New Orleans.

R.C. Johnson _

R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 30 years in athletic administration and served as athletic director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29,1995. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in putting together one of the most renowned staffs in school history. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such highprofile coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West, former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari and former Los Angeles Dodger shortstop Dave Anderson as baseball coach. With his staff completed, the Iowa native set his sights on revamping the University of Memphis athletic facilities and that goal is now coming to completion. Johnson initiated the start of a capital campaign to add a new 8,000-squarefoot football and basketball office complex to the current Athletic Office Building, a new basketball practice facility and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Memphis' south campus. The eight million dollar campaign is the largest fund raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics and should bring the Tiger athletic facilities on-line with Conference USA sister institutions. During the spring of 1999, Johnson negotiated one of the richest radio broadcast package in Tiger athletic history with WMC-AM 79 in Memphis. The three-year agreement calls for WMC to pay the University approximately $1.2 million for football and men's basketball rights. In his short tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic director's Ambassador's Club.

Johnson was hired at Temple after nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. During his tenure at Miami University, Johnson was responsible for numerous programs that enhanced the stature and image of the Ohio institution. A strong believer in a quality education for student-athletes, Johnson emphasized academic integrity and excellence during his time at Miami University. At the time he departed for Temple, Miami University had 15 student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 student-athletes with a 3.50 or better GPA and 191 student-athletes with a 3.00 GPA or better. Before becoming athletic director at Miami University, Johnson was athletic director at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88. He was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974 to 1980. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant football coach at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Young-

PaciCitics The University of Memphis Tiger basketball team has played for the past 10 seasons in The Pyramid, which seats 20,142. Highlighting its contents is one of the finest locker room facilities in all of basketball, including the NBA. This 2,200 square-foot room is equipped with a lounge and team meeting area, dressing room, training room and storage area. In the dressing room each player has his own personal vanity and locker, while the lounge area is furnished with couches, a 35-inch color television, a stereo sound system and a color pull-down projection screen. It also has an entrance way that includes a stainless steel door and a lighted U of M logo that hangs on a marble wall. The Tigers made good use of their new home in their first season as they went on to have the nation's largest attendance increase (5,207) and were ranked eighth overall in per game attendance (16,142). Memphis' 10-year record at The Pyramid is 144-40. The Pyramid sits on the bank of the Mississippi River and is visible to motorists as they cross the Tennessee-Arkansas bridge into Memphis. It was the site of the 1993 Great Midwest Conference Men's and Women's basketball tournaments, the 2000 CUSA Men's Basketball Championship and the 2000 NCAA Women's Mideast Regional. The Pyramid has played host to the first and second round of the Men's NCAA Tournament three times (1995, 1997, 2001), and will be the host site for the 2003 C-USA Women's Basketball Tournament. The University of Memphis women's basketball and volleyball teams play all home events at the 2,800-seat Elma Roane Fieldhouse. Situated in the heart of U of M's campus, the Fieldhouse is equipped with lockerroom and training facilities for the five Lady Tiger athletic teams. The Fieldhouse received an $80,000 renovation in August of 1993 as the gym itself was completely painted and entry ways were improved with lighting and a totally different design. In the summer of 1998, a new floor was put down, and that floor received a new paint scheme for the 2002-03 season. The lighting in the building was improved prior to the 19992000 season, and air conditioning was added to the arena for the 2001-02 season. The fieldhouse was nicknamed "The Jungle", and the building undewent another facelift in 2001 as awnings were added to the outside and over the concession and ticket areas. There is also continuing discussion regarding changing all seating to chairback seating. The Lady Tiger basketball team set a record for attendance in 1997-98, hosting 3,410 fans for the matchup with cross state rival Tennessee. The Lady Tiger basketball team owns an impressive 82-20 record at The Fieldhouse the last eight years. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is the site of all the University of Memphis home football games, as well as the Liberty Bowl postseason game. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, "built by the citizens of Memphis," is a memorial to the veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The 62,380-seat facility, operated by the Memphis Park Commission, was built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis and renovated in 1987 for $19.5 million. The Tigers opened the stadium with a meeting against Ole Miss on Sept. 18, 1965, and over 36 years have compiled a 1 12-94-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features a "prescription turf" playing surface, spacious lockerrooms, and a fourlevel press box, which features a stadium club for VIPs. In 1983, city of Memphis officials named the playing surface Rex Dockery Field in honor of the late Tiger coach who was killed in a plane crash. Included in the 1987 renovations were new sky suites, approximately 12,000 new seats, a new stadium club, new lighting system, the new playing surface, a new handicap seating area, and numerous concession stands and restroom facilities for the new sections. The largest crowd to witness a Tiger football game at the Liberty Bowl was the 65,885 who attended the Tigers' stunning upset of sixth-ranked Tennessee in 1996. Memphis defeated the Vols, 21-17, in a game televised by CBS. In 1970, the U of M Athletic Department officially opened the Kennedy Sportsplex, a 140-acre complex located just south of the main campus. The complex serves as the home of the Tiger football, baseball, soccer and track teams and offers workout facilities for all U of M sports. In the mid-80s, the facility was renamed the Billy J. Murphy Complex in honor of former Memphis head football coach and athletic director Billy ]. Murphy. The main building features a 50-yard indoor practice field with an artificial surface. This field is used for workouts when the weather prohibits outdoor practices and is also used by the baseball team for winter workouts. Located behind the main building are four outdoor football fields, used for fall and spring practices. Other features of the complex include a golf driving range and a 5,000 square foot Novagrass artificial green. The green, which features four sand bunkers, allows both golf teams to practice their short games.The building will undergo a much needed $ 10 million renovation in the coming year. Included in the renovation is a main lobby which will feature a Hall of Fame as well as Tiger athletic memoribilia. The lobby will accomodate up to 1 50 people and will also be used for special events. Two large meeting rooms will be added in order for the Tiger football team to meet prior to practices. The main meeting room will seat up to 100 people and the smaller room will accomodate up to 75 people. There will also be individual meeting rooms for all of the position coaches to hold meetings. The equipment room will receive an overhaul as will the athletic training facility. The equipment room will also receive an expanded laundry facility, and the training room will add two underground aquatic pools for rehabilitation. The football lockerroom will be completely revamped and players will now have a lounge area to relax and study in. Also included are new lockerrooms for track and a visitor's changing area. The current lockerrooms for the spring sports teams will be updated.

faciCities The newly-constructed Larry O. Finch Center opened in the spring of 2000 and serves as the practice facility for men's basketball. The 31,000 square foot facility features a regulation court which runs east to west. With the removal of portable goals, the building can be divided into three north-south courts for intramural play. Each court has its own Scoreboard and clock. The center's fully-equipped training room includes heat packs, electrical stimulation units, ultrasound, whirlpools, three treatment and two taping tables as well as a separate doctor's examination room. Additionally, the center includes a lockerroom for the U of M basketball team, player lounge and storage area as well as a complete weight room. Overlooking the courts is a media room as well as coaching staff offices and a coaches' lockerroom. The Finch Center is attached to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, which was completely remodeled in 1999. Improvements include a state-of-the-art air conditioning and dehumidification center, an aerobics room, larger free weight and nautilas/cardivascular fitness rooms and additional basketball courts. Also a part of the improvements was the complete renovation of the center's aquatics facilities, including four swimming pools. The SRFC has two identical indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities. The two Olympic-size pools have 10, seven-foot lanes with a minimum pool depth of four feet while the two, 25-yard short course diving wells have a minimum depth of eight feet. The pools include both short course and long course non-turbulent lane lines, 32 starting blocks, underwater observation window, two Colorado 4000 timing systems with display, audio system and spectator seating. Located adjacent to the indoor pools are a whirlpool, sauna, and steam room. The center includes two gymnasiums with multi-court floors as well as additional outdoor basketball and tennis courts across Echles Street. There are also 10 racquetball courts located in the building. The SRFC also includes remodeled lockerroom facilities. The University of Memphis' home field for baseball games is Nat Buring Stadium, a 1,200-seat facility adjacent to the Murphy Athletic Complex, which opened with an 11 -2 Tiger victory over Mississippi State on March 14, 1972. just 1 3 days after celebrating the 19th anniversary of opening day at Nat Buring, Memphis played its first-ever nigiit game with a 5-4 win over Ole Miss on March 27, 1991. Nat Buring Stadium is named after the owner of Buring Food Packing who is an avid supporter of Memphis baseball. The stadium has had several renovations over the years, including the addition of chairback seating, an enclosed press box and most recently, new dugouts. Feasibility studies are currently underway to approach the construction of a new stadium for Tiger baseball. In 31 years at Nat Buring, the Tigers own a 599-220-1 record, and recorded their best home record of 32-1 in 1981. In 2002 Memphis hosted 14 games at AutoZone Park, the Triple- A stadium of the Memphis Redbirds.

Located next to the baseball stadium is Murphy Track, an eight-lane, polyurethane tartan surface track used by the U of M track teams for home meets. During the summer of 1991, the University of Memphis hosted the World Police and Fire Games. The track meet featured over 700 athletes from around the world. During the summer of 1 992, U of M served as host of the Tennessee Sports Festival which featured athletes from around the state. Murphy Track was also the host site of the 1992 and 1993 Great Midwest Conference Track and Field Championships.

The 2002 soccer season is sure to be an exciting one as both the men's and women's team will play all of their matches at the newly-constructed Mike Rose Soccer Complex. The facility, which is privately managed and operated, sits on 136.17 acres and was designed to accomodate exhibition games, tournaments, special events, camps and clinics. There are 16 fields which have Bermuda grass and an underground drainage system. Completed most recently is the stadium which will feature more than 5,000 seats and will be the host to Tiger soccer. The stadium facility also includes showers, lockerrooms, a food court, a retail store, full media services, administrative offices, Trophy Suites and a conference room. Matches not played at Mike Rose will be played on campus at Echles Field. The 900-seat facility is located adjacent to the Health Physical Education and Recreation Building and received a $20,000 facelift in the summer of 1992. The renovations include a new electronic Scoreboard, concrete slabs for bleachers, and the purchase of additional seats.

The men's and women's tennis teams host their opponents on the HMSE courts located just two blocks from the Athletic Office Building. There are 21 laykold-surfaced courts, allowing the Tiger tennis teams to host multi-team tournaments. The courts received some much-needed renovation in 2000. Concrete was poured underneath the lower courts, while the remaining courts were resurfaced. The light poles and the courts were painted blue and gray, and new windscreens were installed that announce the facility as the "home of Tiger and Lady Tiger Tennis." Long term plans for the area include a gazebo and sand volleyball courts for student use outside of the facility. Also new in 2001 were a blue and gray awning over the fan seating area, and white awnings which cover player seating during changeovers.

Strength & Conditioning The Tiger Strength and Conditioning facility located next to the newly remodeled indoor turf room in the south campus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex, opened in January 1993 and serves each of the University's intercollegiate sports programs. The 7,000-square foot varsity weightroom is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware such that groups of up to 70 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Workouts are designed and supervised by one of the Strength and Conditioning staff's certified specialists, and each student-athlete's individual progress is projected via computerized database. The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, mulit-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise techniques are simplified and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fatique). Performance based fitness and work quality are the bottom line objectives. The weightroom's equipment upgrade plan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic platforms and power racks; a plyornetric/ medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, gluteham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements. The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is maintained at a constant 70-74 degrees. In planning the long range Tiger Power programs, student-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of "foundational" or generalized movements; and progress toward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase. The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a studentathlete's four or five year sport career, however broad variations in workload combine the program's simplicity with a measure of sophistication.

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.

ABENGAL FORA MASCOT For almost 30 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games, as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games. The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992. The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $ 1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference. In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11, 1972. The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and

Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog. TOM II came to the University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. His new home is 3500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and has separately, a complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM, who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOM II prior to each football season.

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, 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".

The Lady Tigers will play all eight oF its home matches, including all Five of its Conference USA home tilts, at the complex which sits on 136.17 acres and houses 16 fields equipped with Bermuda grass. "Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone facility wise," Head Women's Coach Brooks Monaghan said. "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."

There is not a better facility in the country for a college kid to play soccer." - Brooks Monaghan, Head Women's Coach

Located in Southeast Shelby County just east of the city of Memphis, the MRSC facility is also home to a pair of Memphis professional teams that have helped soccer Fever sweep across the Mid-South. The Memphis Mercury oF the Women's W-League and the Memphis Express oF the Men's Super Y League have established themselves in the Memphis soccer community and Monaghan said both programs at the U oF M are primed to have the same results. "It is in the perfect location For the soccer community in Memphis," Monaghan added. "A lot of the kids who play in the youth soccer leagues around town are From the Germantown and Collierville area which makes it convenient for them to come out and watch us play."

Monaghan and men's Head Coach Richie Grant are working hard by pushing season ticket sales and promoting their programs to the surrounding communities in order to increase support. "We've seen the success that the Mercury and Express have had at Mike Rose and when we better establish ourselves in the soccer community, we feel we will see that same success."
