AQUATIC AND TENNIS COMPLEX

After nearly two years of construction, Northern Arizona University’s brand new Aquatic and Tennis Complex (ATC) held its grand opening on Feb. 19, 2016. The state-of-the art facility, located across the street from NAU’s Health and Learning Center, will be the new home of NAU swimming & diving and men’s and women’s tennis. Groundbreaking for the ATC was held on May 1, 2014 after the Arizona Board of Regents unanimously approved the proposal on Feb. 7, 2014. The Aquatic and Tennis Complex replaced the Wall Aquatic Center – the home of the Lumberjack swimming & diving program for the last 34 years since the pool’s opening in 1983. The 120,000 square foot ATC is more than double the size of the 50,000 square foot Wall Aquatic Center. For the NAU swimming & diving team, the ATC includes an Olympic-sized swimming pool as well as a separate diving well. In addition to 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, there is the addition of a 10-meter diving platform that the Wall Aquatic Center previously had not supported. Other features include dryland training areas and a spa. Both the NAU men’s and women’s tennis teams will enjoy the luxury of their own on-campus courts since 2007 when there were previously six outdoor courts to use. The ATC will provide the two programs with an indoor home for daily practice and home matches featuring six indoor courts. Previously at the mercy of Flagstaff’s unpredictable weather, NAU tennis had hosted home matches at Continental Country Club and the Flagstaff Athletic Club as well as in Sedona in recent years while resorting to the two-court Fieldhouse for an on-campus practice facility. The second phase of the ATC will provide both tennis teams with six outdoor courts adjacent to the facility. Spectator viewing decks are available for both the pool and tennis courts. Shortly after the grand opening, the Aquatic and Tennis Complex hosted the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships from March 7-9, 2016. Nearly 100 divers – both men’s and women’s – representing 25 universities spanning the Pac-12, Mountain West, WAC and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation conferences competed at the qualifying meet for the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. The first tennis match held in the ATC was on Feb. 21, 2016 when the NAU men’s tennis team posted a 7-0 victory over Western New Mexico. The NAU women’s tennis team made their debut in the facility on March 5, 2016 and splitting a doubleheader with a 5-2 win over conference rival Montana State and a narrow 4-3 loss to Emory University, the reigning Division III national runner-ups.

#NAUSTRONG SEASON PREVIEW

NAU LUMBERJACK

2017

The Northern Arizona University men’s tennis team returns this year picked No. 4 in the preseason polls. The Lumberjacks have not been picked to finish above fifth since 2012. Despite their ranking the ‘Jacks have had formidable success under Director of Tennis Ki Kroll, who is entering his fourth season with the men and first with the women. Northern Arizona finished in third last season behind Idaho and regular season champions Weber State, but lost to Idaho just before making it to the championship match. Now, Kroll and the very young but experienced roster of 11 are ready to take on the 2017 campaign. “We have a very strong men’s team, and this year they are buying into that,” Kroll said. “Sometimes it takes time for them to have that confidence, but they believe in themselves and have that competitive fight.” Fall Finish This fall, NAU competed in five tournaments at the University of Arizona, ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla., University of New Mexico, ITA Mountain Regionals in Las Vegas, Nev. and ended the season at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Nearly all the Lumberjacks saw preseason action with standout sophomore Tim Handel leading in singles and pairing with transfer Sebastian Eguez in No.

SEASON PREVIEW

1 doubles. The sophomore went into the ITA Mountain Regionals No. 17 and upped his ranking after his impressive run to the quarterfinals. Now ranked No. 13, Handel became the first athlete in school history to receive a singles ranking in men’s tennis in at least 15 years. Felix Schumann and Lucas Taylor also proved ready for this season after winning more than a combined six singles wins. In doubles, Thomas Fisher paired with Handel and Adi Zilberstein for a combined seven wins. “We have a very deep team this year, so I’m looking forward to season,” said Kroll. “We are young and last year was a learning experience for us, but this year I know we are ready to take things to the next level, especially after the fall season we had.” Familiar Faces This season the Lumberjacks return eight from last year, adding just two freshmen and a transfer, none of which are seniors. Northern Arizona was without upperclassmen last season and without seniors the past three years. Being a young team is nothing new for the ‘Jacks. “We have really built off of our youth and gained valuable experience over the years,” explained Kroll. “The guys realize they have potential and now we have a @NAUMENSTENNIS

solid base of talent on the men’s team. I’m very excited about our potential and our future.” Freshmen David Nguyen and Benjamin van Hout are joined by Eguez, a transfer student from Northwood University. Nguyen comes to Flagstaff from Texas where he reached a 600 ranking in ITF Juniors. Van Hout, a Georgia native, was a four-year starter, letterwinner and MVP. He was named All-County Player of the Year after posting a career singles record of 78-8. “One of the hardest things is being able to acclimate to a different altitude, and for the younger players they have to get used to playing at all these different altitudes in the Big Sky,” said Kroll. “It takes a little bit of time adjusting to the constantly changing elevations.” For Eguez, he has adjusted well and proved to be a good fit for the team. With 5 doubles wins and 7 singles wins, including over No. 20 Arkansas’ Austin Robles, during the fall, Eguez has proved he is ready to start competing right away. Coming Challenges The Lumberjacks will have some tough non-conference opponents this year in Brigham Young University, Utah, San Diego State, UC Irvine, Arizona, Air Force and Seattle before competing in their first conference matchup against Montana who finished right behind NAU last year. Kroll expects nothing but commitment and effort from the players. With that he knows they will get the points they need.

one of their toughest opponents in San Diego State and their ranked singles players. No. 11 Marko Goles-Babic and No. 16 Sander Gjoels-Andersen combined for 20 wins for the Aztecs in 2016. Other teams NAU will face in 2017 include UC Riverside, New Mexico, Western New Mexico, Nevada and UNLV. The Lumberjacks start the season on the road against BYU Feb. 4. Bright Future Despite their youth, the Lumberjacks are looking to excel this season. With a team finish of 13-12 overall and 8-3 in the Big Sky Conference last year, NAU hopes to bring even more experience into the 2017 campaign. Kroll and his squad are ready to take the year by storm and unleash their true potential, especially in the beautiful Aquatic and Tennis Complex. “We have a beautiful facility here,” said Kroll. “Support will continue to grow and it will add to the excitement. The players enjoy seeing their friends and community supporting them. This could be the year we do something great.”

“I’m confident in this team and they realize how good they are,” said Kroll. “As long as everyone is committed and gives their maximum effort, we will end will a good result.” The Lumberjacks went 73-71 overall in singles last season with Taylor, Schumann, Ruben Montano and Handel accounting for a combined 51 wins.

#NAUSTRONG HEAD COACH

DIRECTOR OF TENNIS

KI

4th Season Eastern New Mexico

Kroll

Ki Kroll will serve as the Director of Men’s and Women’s Tennis for the 2016-17 campaign. Kroll served as the head coach at the University of Southern Mississippi from 2011-13, where he produced an impressive three-year stint, helping a program recover from NCAA violations reach a national ranking, a 15-win season and one of the best recruiting classes among mid-major schools landing the top players from the UK and Portugal. His success has undoubtedly carried over into his short time with the Lumberjacks as he led the team to a 13-9 record in his first season, the most wins since 2010. Kroll has accumulated 37 victories overall, 22 wins in the Big Sky, two appearances in the Big Sky Championship and 12 All-Big Sky selections during his tenure at Northern Arizona. The expectations remain high in the classroom as well, with Kroll garnering six Big Sky All-Academic selections, 15 Golden Eagle Scholar Athletes and one ITA All-Academic Team selection since the start of his tenure. Most recently in the 2016 spring campaign, Kroll’s squad finished with yet another winning record of 13-12 overall including an 8-3 clip in the Big Sky. Freshman Tim Handel earned All-Big Sky First Team nods while his fellow classmate, Lucas Taylor, landed on the honorable mention team. This same season, Handel was also a Big Sky All-Academic selection alongside Felix Schumann. Adi Zilberstein also reeled in another academic honor for the ‘Jacks as he was named to the 2016 ITA All-Academic team. Before Kroll’s hire, Northern Arizona only managed to win six matches and NAU looked for a new voice to lead the tennis program in a different direction. The team made a complete turnaround under Kroll’s direction. In 2015, Lumberjack tennis reached the Big Sky Championship after pulling off two upsets, beating no. 1 Weber State and no. 3 Montana to get there. Not to mention the victory over the no. 67 ranked program in the country, Nevada-Reno, which was NAU tennis’ first win over a ranked opponent since 2002 and only the second time in program history. In 2014, Kroll and his squad were a force to be reckoned with in the Big Sky. They finished third in the conference despite their eighth place preseason poll predictions. The Lumberjacks rattled off streaks of four and six wins with some memorable victories over Montana State, Grand Canyon and the 2013 Big Sky Champions Sacramento State. After NAU’s exceptional play, Kroll had four players named All-Big Sky Honorable Mention in Jordan Gobatie, Kester Black, Alex Locci and Fabio Tomasetti. Prior to Southern Mississippi, Kroll served in dual roles as the Head Men’s Tennis Coach and the Assistant Athletic Director/Business Manager at Vassar College, where he led the Brewers to three consecutive NCAA Division III Tournaments from 2005-10. He was a three-time Liberty League Coach of the Year during his five seasons. Over the span of his coaching career, Kroll coached four All-Americans, the 2010 and 2011 ITA Northeast Singles champion, the 2008 ITA Northeast Doubles champions, 18 All-Academic selections and one Capital One Academic All-American. Coach Kroll received national acclaim for his involvement as the Director of Tennis at the Andre Agassi Boys & Girls Club in Las Vegas, Nev. Most notably, he is credited with developing a strong inner city tennis program for Andre Agassi into one of the most successful programs of its type in the country. A number of his former students have been ranked in the top-five nationally in the junior tennis, earning opportunities to represent the United States in international play. Several players went on to play Division I tennis as well as professionally. When asked about his appointment as head coach, Kroll said, “I’m very happy to now be representing NAU, and am very thankful to our Vice-President/ Athletic Director, Lisa Campos who has placed her confidence in me. This is a wonderful opportunity, one that I take very seriously. I am here to move the NAU men’s tennis program into a new direction, helping to not only motivate our players, but also improve their understanding of how to best play their game. Tennis has always been my passion, and I’m looking forward to taking this team to the next level.” Kroll played collegiately at Penn State and received his bachelor’s degree in History from Eastern New Mexico University.

The Reutlingen, Germany native has shined from the get-go and hasn’t turned back. He finished the spring season at 13-10 while recording an 8-2 mark versus Big Sky foes on court one. His performance this season was good enough for an All-Big Sky First Team nod.

With every player returning next season, the Northern Arizona University men’s tennis team made tremendous strides over the course of the 2016 campaign. Head Coach Ki Kroll – in his third season with NAU – finished with a winning record of 13-12 and 8-3 in the Big Sky. The Lumberjacks were led by underclassmen this season who, despite many challenging non-conference and conference opponents, stepped up time and time again when called upon. “Considering how young we are, I thought we had a really good season,” Kroll noted. “We competed well and continually improved throughout the year.

Taylor proved to be another source of young talent for the ‘Jacks this season. The freshman finished with a team-best 15-8 solo record on court two while garnering an All-Big Sky Honorable Mention selection. Among one of Taylor’s best weekends was his performance over No. 69 University of Arizona. He, alongside Eden Peleg, clinched the doubles point on court two to give NAU an early 1-0 lead. Taylor picked up right where he left off in singles as well, taking down Pac12 foe Harry Busby to give the ‘Jacks another point over a ranked opponent. The London, England native – along with Handel – both picked up their first career Big Sky Player of the Week honors in 2016. In doubles action, Taylor was paired primarily with Peleg where the tandem finished an impressive 7-1 at line two. Also making a splash in doubles play was Jackson Lee and Felix Schumann. The duo led the way in the win column at 10-5 on court three including a 5-3 mark against Big Sky opponents. To start the season, both

#NAUSTRONG BIG SKY CONFERENCE The Big Sky Conference enters its 54th year and 29th year of women’s competition during the 2016-17 academic year. The venerable and stable Division I Big Sky Conference observed its 50th birthday on July 1, 2013. Four of the current league members – Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State and Weber State – have been with the league since its birth. Fellow charter member the University of Idaho returned most of its sports to the Big Sky on July 1, 2014. Northern Arizona University enters its 47th season in the league, giving the league five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership. The Big Sky Conference welcomed North Dakota and Southern Utah on July 1, 2012 as full members. UC Davis and Cal Poly joined as football affiliate members. Eastern Washington University, the University of Northern Colorado, Portland State University and Sacramento State round out the current membership. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. The Big Sky is one of three conferences in the western United States playing Division I football. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001. The Big Sky’s full members represent nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado. It is “The Heart of the American West.” The University of Idaho, which was a member from 1963-96, will once again compete in the Big Sky in the majority of its sports. Idaho’s football program maintained its FBS affiliation, joining the Sun Belt Conference. On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. The Big Sky sponsors championships in 16 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. The Big Sky sponsored softball for the first time in 2013. Men’s golf returned as a championship sport in 2014-15 for the first time since 2002. The University of Hartford and Binghamton University have joined the Big Sky as affiliate members in golf. In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women. Andrea Williams, the sixth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in her first year at the helm. Williams took over the Big Sky on July 1, 2016, replacing longtime commissioner Doug Fullerton. Fullerton served the league for 21 years. Ron Stephenson, who assed away in 2011, preceded Fullerton. Serving as commissioner from 1981 through June 1995. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Since her arrival, Campos has guided the Lumberjacks to Backto-Back Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Cup trophies; an award that recognizes the department’s overall excellence in competition and in the classroom. In 2013, NAU became the fourth institution to win multiple Presidents’ Cups, winning their second (first was 2005-06); and then followed it up during the 2013-14 school year. NAU has captured 24 team conference championships during Campos’ time in Flagstaff, while nine teams have advanced to postseason competition. The Lumberjacks’ stellar athletic achievements have led to the men’s programs winning the Big Sky All-Sports Trophy three consecutive times from 2014-16. The women’s teams captured the trophy in 2014, and have been runners-up the last two years. During the 2015-16 school year, the men’s indoor and outdoor track & field teams won their fifth straight title for each, while the women’s team captured the outdoor crown. Volleyball won the Big Sky Regular Season and Tournament Championship to earn its first NCAA appearance berth since 1999. Swimming & diving captured its third straight Western Athletic Conference Championship defeating its nearest competition by over 300 points. During the 2015-16 school year, NAU finished with a 3.12 overall cumulative grade point average.
