Men’s Soccer The Missouri Valley Conference From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, the Missouri Valley Conference continues to be proactive in its approach as it enters its 104th year in 2010-11. The nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference is a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences.

The Missouri Valley Conference enters a new decade facing a rapidly changing environment in NCAA Division I athletics as conference expansion and realignment swept the nation in the summer of 2010. Although The Valley was untouched, the league will remain vigilant in monitoring changes or potential changes in other conferences that might impact membership, or present opportunities for expansion.

Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. With UNI’s NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2010, the league has had four different Sweet 16 teams since 2006, and The Valley is the only non-BCS league with more than two different Sweet 16 teams in that span. Notably, the run of nine straight seasons with two or more teams in the NCAAs ended in 2007, as the past three seasons have seen only the tournament champion included in the NCAA field.

Notably, The Valley made history in March 2007 with record attendance for four days at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center as 85,074 fans turned out to watch the five sessions of the tournament. The two sellout crowds of 22,612 for the semifinals and final of the 2007 State Farm Tournament set an all-time attendance record for basketball at the arena and also gave The Valley the distinction of having the largest championship crowd for any of the 30 NCAA conference tournaments in 2007. The State Farm MVC Tournament continues to be a spectacular showcase for the league, and the MVC has extended the tournament agreement with the Scottrade Center that will keep Arch Madness in St. Louis through 2013. At the 2011 State Farm MVC Championship, the league will surpass 1,000,000 in total attendance for the event, now in its 21st year.

While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of the conference.

In men’s soccer, for the 13th time in league history, at least two MVC teams were invited to dance in the 2009 NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship –Drake and Missouri State. The Bulldogs won their first-ever league tournament championship and saw their magical run end at the NCAA Elite Eight, falling to No. 4 North Carolina, 2-1. The 2009 campaign marked the third-straight season, and the ninth time in the past 10 years, that a Valley men’s soccer team advanced to at least the Quarterfinal Round of the NCAA Championship.

Meanwhile, the success of The Valley television package is one of the great stories in the league. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenue-generating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. Meanwhile, The Valley is making video-streaming a major focus as it enters the second year of a three-year plan to upgrade the production and marketing of both institutionally-produced and conference-produced webcasts.

The 2003-04 campaign was a landmark for the conference as State Farm Insurance and the league came to terms on an agreement that provides State Farm with title sponsorship of all of the league’s 18 championships. Last fall, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10year partnership with Learfield Sports. The Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising.

The seeds for the creation of the conference were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington

University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

Athletic accomplishments on the men’s athletics side include 14 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. In 2010, Missouri State’s men’s basketball program won the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, the league’s first national title in men’s basketball since 1982 (Bradley, NIT). In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

And while the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley studentathletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers.

League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State.

Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville are men’s soccer affiliates, beginning in 2010.

2009 Missouri State Season Review MVC Title, NCAA Tournament Appearance Highlight Bears’ 2009 Season The Missouri State men’s soccer team finished a successful 2009 campaign with an MVC regular season title, its third NCAA Tournament appearance and a 12-5-2 (7-1-1) record. The Bears were led by captain Johannes Demarzi, who led the MVC in assists with 10, and goalkeeper Alex Riggs, who tied for the league lead with eight shutouts.

“The guys did a great job of staying focused day in and day out and got better as the season went along,” reflected head coach Jon Leamy. “Their hard work all season long produced the conference championship, awards and other accolades that were well-deserving by this group playing in such a tough league.”

Regular Season The Bears opened the season on Sept. 1 at No. 14 Tulsa, going toe-to-toe with the ranked squad until the Golden Hurricane got on the board in the 77th minute in an eventual 2-0 final. Missouri State rebounded from the road test and went undefeated in its next four matches. UMKC visited Plaster Field on Sept. 5 and the Bears wasted little time as Ryan Hennessy and Heath Melugin scored in the 11th and 15th minute, respectively. Paul Paradise would add an insurance goal as Demarzi tallied his second assist of the match to propel the Bears to a 3-1 win.

After a scoreless draw at Central Arkansas, who will join the MVC in men’s soccer next season, the Bears once again used the home field to defeat a nonconference opponent. Centenary (La.) paid a visit to Springfield on Sept. 16, but Melugin recorded two goals and an assist in a 4-0 victory by Missouri State.

Missouri State would begin conference play early because of the home-and-home MVC schedule in 2009. The Bears would face a tough road test with a visit to No. 6 Creighton on Sept. 19. In the closing seconds of the first half, a Demarzi corner kick was headed in by Jordan Hoffman. Alex Riggs would face only one shot in the match, making the save to record his third consecutive shutout. Riggs and Demarzi would earn MVC Defensive and Offensive Player of the Week honors, respectively, for their play against Creighton and Centenary. Demarzi would add Scholar-Athlete of the Week as well.

The Bears would spend the final weekend of September in Dallas at the SMU Classic. After a heart-breaking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Houston Baptist, who tallied the lone goal in the 89th minute, the Bears would face host SMU on Sunday. SMU scored a goal in the 34th minute to take a 1-0 lead to halftime, but Missouri State would explode for three goals in the second half to beat the Mustangs, 3-1.

Nick Dryden, Thomas Vania and Riggs were named to the All-Tournament team.

Missouri State would begin October with a threegame homestand. On Oct. 1, the Bears used a David Buckenheimer goal in the 73rd minute to defeat Denver, 1-0. Eastern Illinois would visit Plaster Field on Oct. 4 and used a three-assist game by Alex Harrison to defeat the Bears, 3-0. The final match of the homestand on Oct. 7 brought a rematch with Creighton. Another classic defensive struggle between the sides resulted in a 0-0 double-overtime draw.

The clean sheet extended the Bears’ regular season shutout streak over the Bluejays to 310 minutes.

On Oct. 10, the Bears headed to Peoria, Ill., to face Bradley. A goal in the 11th minute by Nick Dryden lifted the Bears to a 1-0 win. For his back-to-back shutouts, goalkeeper Alex Riggs was again named MVC Defensive Player of the Week and was named to

32

the Soccer America Team of the Week.

Missouri State would return home to face Oral Roberts on Oct. 14 and the Bears would get on the board early. Paradise would find the back of the net in the fourth minute and Kyle Windmueller would double the lead in the 15th minute. Hennessy added a goal in the second half as the Bears downed the Golden Eagles, 3-1.

Missouri State would return to conference play with another road test against a nationally-ranked foe. This time the trip was to Des Moines on Oct. 17 to face No. 19 Drake at Cownie Soccer Complex.

Demarzi and Hennessy would each get a goal and an assist in the second half of the match as the Bears rallied for a 2-1 victory. It marked the first time in team history Missouri State defeated two ranked opponents on the road in the same season. After scoring a goal and tallying two assists, Demarzi received his second MVC Offensive Player of the Week award.

Four days later, Missouri State would take on a pesky Evansville squad in Indiana. Demarzi would register his second goal in as many games in lifting the Bears to a 1-0 shutout over the Purple Aces.

Missouri State would return home for a crucial three-game stretch against conference rivals. The Bears were up to the task. On Oct. 24, Paul Paradise tallied two goals in the Bears’ 3-0 shutout of Bradley. The win was the fifth-straight for Missouri State and lifted the Bears into the national spotlight with a No. 25 ranking. Paradise’s two goals propelled him to the MVC Offensive Player of the Week and TopDrawerSoccer. com named him to its Team of the Week.

Missouri State would ‘Launch a Legacy’ at the Nov. 1 rematch with Drake. The game between two nationally prominent clubs would not disappoint. The Bears would build a 2-0 lead after tallies from Edin Sabic and Ben Griffiths, but the Bulldogs added two late goals to tie the match and send it to overtime. The fourth-largest crowd in men’s soccer history would be sent home happy as Gerard Barbero would notch the game-winner just 21 seconds into overtime to lift Missouri State to its sixth-straight win.

That put the Bears in a position to clinch the MVC regular season title at home against Evansville on Nov. 4. Demarzi would get his 10th assist of the season on the Jordan Hoffman goal in the 82nd minute to boost the Bears to their first conference title since 1999. The 1-0 victory marked the ninth shutout of the season, the most since 1998 (11). Demarzi would receive his third weekly honor of the season by the Valley, this time being named MVC Defensive Player of the Week and MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week for a second time on the year. Missouri State would move up to No. 19 in the final regular season NSCAA national rankings.

“We had a good group of veteran players on the team this year,” said Leamy. “They did a great job of showing strong leadership and playing consistently to take this team where it needed to be at the end of the season.”

MVC Tournament The Bears would take the No. 1 seed into the MVC Tournament at Cownie Soccer Complex in Des Moines. Missouri State would be paired with Evansville in the early match of the semifinals on Nov. 13. The Purple Aces would muster 11 first half shots, but Riggs made seven stops and the sides went to halftime scoreless. The Bears came out and opened the second half with two early shots, but Evansville would strike first with a Tad Kreamalmeyer goal in

the 69th minute. Missouri State would respond as Melugin gathered a loose ball in the box and tied the match in the 74th minute.

The teams would end regulation knotted at 1-1.

After some early offensive pressure by Missouri State in the first overtime period, Evansville countered getting a goal from Tom Irvin and downed the Bears in the 100th minute, 2-1.

Heath Melugin and Nick Dryden earned MVC AllTournament honors for their play.

NCAA Tournament Missouri State would have to await its postseason fate after a 12-4-2 season. On Nov. 16, the Bears found out they would travel to St. Louis to face the Billikens in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the third trip for the Bears to the NCAA Tournament (1997 & 1999) and second time facing Saint Louis in the postseason (1997).

“This was a well-deserved selection to the NCAA Tournament,” continued Leamy. “Based on the accomplishments throughout the season, the team was where it needed to be to convince the selection committee that it was deserving of a bid.”

The Bears opened the match with three early shots on goal, two of which were recorded by Demarzi. But the Billikens would get on the board first with a goal in the 10th minute. Saint Louis would be awarded a PK seven minutes later and would increase the lead to 2-0, the score at halftime despite Missouri State outshooting SLU, 12-3 in the first half.

The Bears would continue to pressure the Billikens offensively and were able to cut the lead to 2-1 just five minutes into the second period. Hoffman created a turnover and fed the ball to Melugin who drilled a shot off the underside of the crossbar and in for the Bears’ goal. Missouri State continued to garner shot after shot, totaling 22 in the match, but was unable to find the back of the net before the end of regulation, falling to SLU, 2-1. The Bears ended their season 125-2, the best record since 2005 (12-4-2), and the 12 wins were tied for sixth-most in team history.

Awards After a tremendous season, the hardware began to pile up. Missouri State head coach Jon Leamy earned Midwest Region Coach of the Year accolades. Along with his staff, he also earned MVC Coaching Staff of the Year honors.

Missouri State goalkeeper Alex Riggs headlined the Bears’ offseason awards list for the players after being named the MVC Defensive Player of the Year and receiving All-MVC first team honors.

Hat Tricks

Ryan Anderson recorded the 20th hat trick in

Missouri State men’s soccer history when he scored three goals in the Bears’ 3-1 victory over Florida International on Sept. 3, 2005. Chris Deal is the last player to score four goals in a game, doing so against Evansville on Oct. 10, 2004.

Doug Lascody recorded a hat trick in a 4-1 win against Vanderbilt in 2003. Jed Hohlbein also gathered a hat trick as he scored three times in a 3-2 victory over Oakland Sept. 1 of 2002. Severin Lwali and Mike Williams both scored three goals in 1999.

Matt Caution is the only Missouri State player to record more than two hat tricks. Caution posted four in his career, with the first three coming as a freshman.

Tim Abeln and Ken Robinson each scored four goals in a 10-0 win against Baptist Bible College in 1981, and Caution repeated the feat against Missouri Southern in 1993 to become the last four-goal scorer before Deal repeated the feat in 2004.

Playing the Best - Major League Soccer Missouri State has played against the best during the spring schedule over the last several years to prepare the team for the fall schedule, as the Bears have played numerous exhibition contests against Major League Soccer teams.

The Bears have played host to the Kansas City Wizards for five of the past six seasons. In 2007, Missouri State hosted the Wizards for the first time at Plaster Field.

The fall contest against the Wizards has become a fan favorite for soccer fans across the Springfield area. In 2006, the game drew over 1,100 fans to Cooper Sports Complex and the move on campus to Plaster Field drew 1,654 patrons.

Home of the Bears -- Plaster Field The Missouri State men’s soccer team will begin its fourth season of play on Plaster Field at the Robert W. Plaster Sports Complex in 2009. Last season, the Bears were 2-3-3 at the on-campus facility and averaged 322 fans per contest.

Plaster Field enjoys a picturesque, landscaped location at the heart of the Missouri State campus. The facility has been home to Bears football for over 50 years, with the first game at the facility taking place Sept. 19, 1941. The facility also plays host to Bears field hockey, track and field, and marching band events.

A four-phase expansion of the facility between 1987 and 1991 was further enhanced in August of 1991, when it received a seven-figure gift from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, with the expanded facility now known as the Robert W. Plaster Sports Complex.

The Plaster Foundation has made numerous gifts to support higher education in southwest Missouri.

The addition to the facility in the summer of 1991 nearly doubled the seating capacity of the existing stadium, giving the complex its current capacity of 16,300 seats.

The stadium got a facelift in the summer of 2006 with the installation of a new FieldTurf artificial playing surface on the field. The new surface allows for an exciting, fast-paced brand of soccer.

2003 2008 The Missouri State Lady Bears have been one of the nation’s most-successful women’s basketball programs over the last two decades, racking up 20 Missouri Valley Conference titles, thirteen 20+ win seasons, and 13 NCAA Tournament berths, including three Sweet 16 appearances and trips to the Final Four in 1992 (above) and 2001.

Winston Garland led the Bears to their first two Division I postseason appearances, including a 65-60 win over fourth-seeded Clemson in MSU’s first-ever NCAA Tournament contest in 1987. As a senior, Garland set a school single-season record for scoring (720) that still stands today en route to earning All-America honors from the UPI, Sporting News and Basketball Weekly.

Under the guidance of NSCAA/MONDO Midwest Region Coach of the Year Jon Leamy, the 2009 Missouri State Men’s Soccer team earned its first MVC championship in 10 years and the third NCAA Tournament bid in program history. The Bears posted a 12-5-2 record en route to a No. 19 national ranking in the NSCAA’s final regular-season poll.

National Championships Eight Missouri State teams have been crowned national champions at all levels of competition during the first 104 years of intercollegiate athletics at MSU. The 2009-10 men’s basketball team became the most recent to claim a postseason national title, winning the College Insider Tournament (CIT). MSU national championship teams include:

Jackie Stiles set the NCAA record for career points (3,393) as well as the single-season scoring (1,062) record as a senior at Missouri State. Stiles garnered the Honda Awards Program Broderick Cup and was the Wade Trophy recipient as the nation’s top women’s college basketball player in 2001, when she led MSU to its second Final Four in nine years.

The 2009-10 Missouri State Bears of secondyear head coach Cuonzo Martin posted the fifthbest turnaround in the nation, capping the year by sweeping the Collegiate Insider’s Tournament field for the eighth national tournament title in MSU history. The Bears’ 24-12 record came just one year after an 11-20 campaign in Martin’s first year at the helm.

A 10-time conference coach of the year honoree, Guttin has led the Bears to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 2003 College World Series. Under Guttin, 11 Bears have earned All- America honors, while 97 MSU standouts have gone on to sign professional contracts.

The 2003 Baseball Bears shocked Nebraska and Ohio State in NCAA regional play to advance to the College World Series for the first time as a Division I program. Led by future Major Leaguers Shaun Marcum and Brad Ziegler, the Bears captured the MVC regular-season crown and finished the campaign with a 40-26 overall record.

Under third-year head coach Nyla Milleson, the Missouri State Lady Bears returned to postseason play for the first time in four years with a 22-11 campaign. The MSU women posted their highest regular-season conference finish (third) in five seasons, and ran their WNIT win streak to seven games with victories over Oral Roberts and Samford, before falling to Illinois in the third round of the event.

Facilities

JQH Arena has been the home of the Missouri State Bears basketball teams since its official opening in November 2008. The world-class arena seats more than 11,000 and has a state-of-the-art video scoreboard. Hotel developer John Q. Hammons made JQH Arena possible with a donation of $30 million.

John Q. Hammons Student Center is the home of the MSU volleyball and swimming teams, which has a main arena capacity of 4,646 permanent reserved seats.

Turner Family Practice Court, located in the east gym of Hammons Student Center, provides the Missouri State men’s and women’s basketball programs expanded options for practice schedules. The hardwood floor brings with it the history of the Bear’s program, as it was in use in HSC’s main arena from 1985 until February of 2006.

Plaster Strength Center is one of the largest of its kind in the Missouri Valley Conference. Strength Coach Terry Sauerbry and his staff supervise the free weight based facility.

The Robert W. Plaster Sports Complex is the home of Missouri State football, track and field, soccer and field hockey teams.

The 16,600-seat complex includes a synthetic grass football field and an eight-lane synthetic all-weather track surface. Its jumbotron scoreboard adds to any athletics experience with replays, graphics and live statistics. The complex also includes indoor amenities such as racquetball courts, locker rooms, five classrooms and a fitness center.

Bears Golf Facilities include many of the area’s premier courses, including Hickory Hills Country Club, Highland Springs Country Club, Millwood Golf and Racquet Club, Rivercut Golf Course (pictured above), Twin Oaks Country Club and Branson Creek Golf Club.

Hammons Field is located just blocks from the Missouri State campus.

The 8,000 seat, natural grass stadium includes 28 luxury suites, five party decks, six food and beverage outlets, a souvenir shop and a club lounge. Financed by MSU alumnus John Q. Hammons, the facility is home to the Missouri State Bears and the Double-A Springfield Cardinals.

Killian Softball Stadium opened in March 2009 as the new home to the Missouri State softball team.

Operated by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board, the East Springfield venue offers seating for up to 1,200 spectators and will serve as host to the 2011 MVC Softball Championship this coming May.

The Missouri State Cross Country Facility was unveiled as the new home course for MSU at Springfield Underground in 2007. The MSU Cross Country Facility hosted the 2008 MVC Championship, as well as the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional Championship last November.

Sports Medicine Athletic Medical and Rehabilitation Services The Missouri State Athletic Medical and Rehabilitation Services staff has more than 90 years combined experience in athletic training. Included are director Jim Penkalski; Robin Meeks, assistant director; and athletic trainers Shannon Derricks, Tyler Landgraf, Amy Luke and Steve Sawchak. All are certified by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association and licensed by the Missouri State Board of Healing Arts. Three intern athletic trainers join the full-time staff, along with a host of athletic training students who work with student-athletes under the supervision of staff members.

A great asset is the involvement of physicians and medical personnel from the community and Missouri State’s Taylor Health and Wellness Center.

Located adjacent to the Turner Family Practice Court inside Hammons Student Center, the Jim D. Morris Family Strength and Conditioning Center is the primary strength and conditioning facility of both Missouri State basketball programs. Under the direction of Prevention, Rehabilitation and Physical Performance Coordinator Mitch Hauschildt, the Bears and Lady Bears have access to state-of-the-art training programs and equipment.

Strength and Conditioning Physical development of more than 500 student-athletes to increase athletic performance, decrease the chance or severity of injury and enhance sport-specific athletics development are the goals of MSU Strength and Conditioning.

Head strength coach Terry Sauerbry supervises the 7,200-square-foot Plaster Strength Center that is utilized by all 16 sports. Sauerbry and his staff guide the student-athletes through programs designed to improve individual skills and overall team performance. The programs integrate all phases of development, including free weights, multi-joint exercises, plyometrics, conditioning, flexibility, speed and nutrition.

The strength and conditioning staff works with coaches and Athletic Medical and Rehabilitation Services to develop programs suited for each sport and its student-athletes. Areas of concern in each participant are identified and a strength program is put in place to address all items with the ultimate goal of improving competitive performance.

Missouri State Vice Presidents & Faculty Representative

President First Year at Missouri State Dr. James E. Cofer, Sr., began his first year as president of Missouri State University on August 2. He was introduced to the campus and Springfield community as the school’s 10th president on May 14, following a nationwide search.

Cofer came to Springfield after serving as president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe since 2002. He replaced Dr. Michael T. Nietzel, who had been MSU’s president since July 2005.

Additionally, Cofer will be a tenured professor in MSU’s College of Business Administration.

“I am deeply honored by the Board’s decision and its confidence in me,” Cofer said on May 14. “I have been a fan of Missouri State University for many years and I look forward to continuing the good work that has been done here. Working with the faculty, staff, students, community, governmental leaders and all other constituent groups, I think we can create and achieve a shared vision for the university.”

Cofer earned a reputation as the leader of an “extraordinary renaissance” at the University of Louisiana at Monroe over his eight years as president. When he and his wife, Deborah, arrived at ULM in 2002, they immediately began the “Reclaiming Our Campus” campaign, which involved more than 2,000 students, faculty, staff, community leaders, and area citizens who cleaned, planted flowers and repainted the campus.

Shortly thereafter, Cofer developed an ambitious visionary plan that included more than $80 million in new construction and renovations on campus. Students, whose academic achievements continue to proliferate every year, now enjoy the newest, up-to-date residence halls, state-of-the-art “smart classrooms,” a completely-renovated Student Union Building and multiple campus security improvements.

In 2007, students rated ULM higher than ever before – breaking a record for student satisfaction at the institution and surpassing student satisfaction at the national level.

With the help of engaged faculty, ULM also patterned its mathematics and English course redesigns after the National Center for Academic Transformation’s Roadmap to Redesign philosophy, utilizing sound methodology, student-centered learning, clear assessment criteria and effective technology incorporation in 2007.

To further encourage student success, ULM implemented living-learning communities, peer and faculty mentoring programs, extensive undergraduate research initiatives and advanced technological modalities. Cognizant of adult learners and today’s busy student, Cofer advocated “anytime, anywhere, anyplace instruction,” resulting in additional online courses and degree programs at ULM. Cofer earned his Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in December 1998. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1971 and his MBA in 1975, both from Mississippi State University.

Prior to becoming president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe in March of 2002, Cofer served as vice president for finance and administration for the University of Missouri System from 1998-2002. Prior to that, he was vice president for finance and administration for the University of Arkansas System from 1995-98; Eisenhower Fellow in Budapest, Hungary, in 1995-96; and vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer of the Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia from 1991-95.

He also has held positions in finance and administration with the Mississippi Power and Light Company; Murray State University; the State of Mississippi; and the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning.

Cofer and his wife, Deborah, have two children and two grandchildren.

Moats Director of Athletics Second Year at Missouri State Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005.

Moats began his duties at Missouri State in July 2009, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator.

In a busy first year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developoing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. The agreement will result in the outsourcing of the departments’ marketing and corporate sales operations while maximizing revenue potential for MSU Athletics. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new television contract this past summer.

Prior to his arrival in Springfield, Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville.

In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups.

Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years at Marquette University, where oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM. He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02).

Moats joined the UK staff as a graduate assistant in the athletics office in 1989, and in 1991 was promoted to coordinator of promotions and special events. He became the Wildcats’ director of marketing, promotions and licensing in 1993 before being named assistant athletics director for marketing in 1996. He served as tournament manager for the 1993 NCAA Golf Championships and the 1996 and 1998 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament events in Lexington.

A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. While at SIUE, Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and was a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-1988. He earned a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Kentucky in 2001.

Moats and his wife, Leeann, have two children, Kirk and Lauren.

Kyle Moats was introduced as Missouri State University’s 10th director of athletics on May 28, 2009.

Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations.

Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting.

Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts.

An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular latesummer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in August for each of the past 23 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment.

Individuals and businesses donate goods or services for sale at the auction, and the income derived from that sale goes to intercollegiate athletics. Items available for purchase at the auction since it began in 1987 have included automobiles, a thoroughbred racehorse, country club memberships, advertising packages, travel opportunities including road trips with MSU athletic teams, furs, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and unique items such as the chance to join MSU coaches on the sidelines during varsity contests. Fifteen of the last sixteen auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU Athletics, and the 2009 auction raised more than $110,000.

THE PROS Matt Pickens, a second round pick of Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire in 2003, has made a name for himself and Missouri State University during his MLS career.

A standout at Missouri State from 2001-03, Pickens was the MLS Player of the Month in September 2006 after posting a 0.83 goals against average and .895 save percentage with four victories in six matches.

In January 2007, Pickens began training for the U.S. Men’s National Team, one of four goalkeepers and 28 players invited to participate.

After a year with the Queens Park Rangers, Pickens returned to the MLS in 2009 with the Colorado Rapids.

“Playing for a Division I program like Missouri State and in one of the best conferences was beneficial to becoming recognized by MLS scouts. Coach Leamy is a discipline and detail coach. He expects honesty and hardwork and by training the right way, it has translated to the professional level.”

-Matt Pickens

Missouri State Soccer History Made in MLS Match COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- On Saturday, August 8, 2009, the Colorado Rapids hosted Chivas USA. The game not only had MLS playoff implications, but it featured Missouri State soccer history.

Lance Parker made his MLS debut in goal for Chivas USA, while his counterpart for the Rapids was Matt Pickens. It was the first time ever that two Missouri State men’s soccer alumni played in the same MLS match. Pickens got the 4-0 shutout, but in Missouri State’s eyes, both keepers were winners.

Starting Lineups

Matt Pickens Colorado Rapids 2009-2010

Lance Parker signed as a Developmental Player with Chivas USA on March 3, 2008. He saw his only game action in 2008 in a Superliga match against Pachuca on July 13.

Parker made his Major League Soccer debut on August 8, 2009 in Colorado against another Missouri State alum, Matt Pickens. The outcome was not what Parker had hoped for his debut, but the experience gained will be valuable throughout the remainder of his career.

Lance Parker Chivas USA 2008-2009

“Being pushed to train at such a high level every day helped prepare me for the MLS on a physical and mental level. The coaches at Missouri State really helped me grow over the four years I spent playing there. Each year, I felt I grew mentally stronger, which is the most important trait to have when you reach this level.”
