2009 SEASON OUTLOOK To prepare his team for the 2009 season, Radford head field hockey coach Jeff Woods decided to change up his team’s style of play by removing one important on-field cog during their spring season: His goalkeeper. Woods entered the Highlanders in a spring 5-on-5 tournament where they were forced to play with an empty net at their backs, something this current crop of players had never been exposed to. It was a move, he believes, that will define their 2009 season. “It made us tighter on the field as a team,” Woods says. “You really had to control the ball, otherwise it wound up in your net. Our group really defended well individually and collectively and that’s what we want to carry over into the fall.” Woods values the play of his back line, which he believes plays just as large a role in his team’s offense as anything. And in 2008, that then-young unit was still going through some growing pains. “We had a slow start, and I think defensively, as much as anything, we had some young players in the back,” says Woods. “We had experience, but we also had some young starters. The people we have returning now have enough experience, and enough athleticism that we’re going to defend.” That slow start put the Highlanders in an 0-4 ditch to begin the season, but they rebounded to go 9-6 over the next 15 games, a stretch that included a pair of three-game winning streaks. And with an emphasis on defense in the offseason, Woods made sure everyone got in on the act in order to understand its importance. “The indoor game gets everyone involved, it’s 5-on-5, so you’d better be involved in both playing defense as well as attacking,” Woods says. “We’ve got the people who can score and who can threaten, but it’s up to us to make sure that we put everyone in the right spots. Anchoring the backfield on this senior-free squad will be a young, but experienced, group. Juniors Lara Cariker and Megan Lenhardt, and sophomores Lynsey Daughtrey and Marlee Schramm logged the bulk of the minutes in back last season. Cariker, Daughtrey and Schramm each started at least 19 games, contributing to the team’s 2.56 goals against average. The Radford backfield also gets the return of a familiar face: goalkeeper Jennifer Wisniewski. After appearing off the bench in just eight games last season due to an injury, Wisniewski is being counted on to return to her 2007 form that put her between the pipes as a true freshman starter. Wisniewski’s rookie season included a pair of NorPac Defensive Player of the Week nods and four shutouts. “Jen being healthy is key,” Woods says. “She has the experience, the athleticism, quickness and good decision-making, and we’re expecting big things from her.”

While the chants of “defense” resonate from the sidelines at Radford, the offensive half has to find its identity as well. It’s a task made more difficult by the loss of three of the team’s top four scorers to graduation, but one that Woods thinks his front line is up to. “I think our forward line is going to take a lot of pressure off the back, because we’ll be able to control situations better,” Woods says. Though losing three of the four top scorers sounds sobering, last year’s season box score reveals that four of the top eight scorers are back, led by Cariker’s 17 points (5 goals, 7 assists). Add to the mix production from seasoned sophomores Madonna Wadolowski, Niamh Connolly and Courtney Poole, and junior Kay Tufts, and the Highlanders have a front line worthy of respect. While the Highlanders spent much of the offseason reshaping their on-field identity, they’ll get some help from two off-field changes: an NCAA rules change and NorPac re-alignment. The rules change isn’t a small one, either. Unlike most field and court team sports where the ball must be inbounded to another player, new field hockey rules don’t require an inbound attempt to be passed, much like lacrosse. Woods says this change isn’t one to sneeze at. “We played it (rules change) in the spring, but it’s going to change the game in both the way you defend, and the way you attack,” Woods says. “I think with our group, we’re going to be able to apply more pressure in those situations. “It should make things interesting, and we should be able to play that to our advantage.” A return to a familiar NorPac division alignment also changes the way the Highlanders approach the 2009 season. The league, which extends from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast, includes a four-team (East and West) divisional format this season. This gives a team from each division the shot at a top seed for the conference tournament, held Nov. 5-7 at Stanford, which Woods thinks is well within his team’s grasp. “Our goal is definitely to finish in the top two, but really, we’re thinking win the East,” Woods says. “I think we’re going to defend better, pressure more, and have the tools to do it. And we’ve been there before (as division champions in 2002 and 2004) in this alignment. Though changes off the field may have their influence on the upcoming season, Woods and the Highlanders think their off-season preparations have shaped this group for 2009. “We’re young, but the two classes are really close together in their development, and we have a lot of chemistry as a result,” Woods says. “I think we’ve got a tight group in there, and we don’t have any gaps.” Though they may have closed the gaps, they did so with a gaping one behind them this spring.

JEFF WOODS HEAD COACH 24th SEASON AT RADFORD Jeff Woods begins his 24th season as the Highlanders head coach. The longest tenured head coach at Radford, Woods has a long list of accomplishments, both as a coach and a player. Since Radford’s induction into the NorPac Conference, the Highlanders have posted a 27-20 record in eight seasons of competition and won the regular season East Division title twice. Another success has been Radford’s play at home, recording a 27-3 mark since 2000. They won a school-record six home matches in 2004 and have been perfect at home five of the last seven seasons. Their overall win totals have improved since the move to the NorPac. The Highlanders have won at least eight matches in seven of the last eight seasons, even though it plays a tough non-conference schedule that features several nationally-ranked opponents every year. In 2004, he guided the Highlanders to their first undefeated conference record (6-0 NorPac East) in school history and a perfect 6-0 record at home. In 2003, he led Radford to its first appearance in the NorPac Championship Game in just their third season in the conference. It marked the first East Division team to ever reach the championship game and remains the only East squad to play for the championship. After playing an instrumental role in Radford joining the NorPac in 2001, he guided them to the a 2002 East Division title. It was the first NorPac title in school history, and the Highlanders did so in just their second season. They would go on to finish third in the 2002 NorPac Championships, finishing the season 9-11, their best finish since 1996. Their 4-1 East Division record was the first winning conference season since going 4-3 during the 1991 season in the Colonial Athletic Association. Under his direction the past eight years, he has had 20 of his players named to all-conference teams, including 2002 & 2004 East Division offensive players of the year Erin Lenhardt and Hope Bates. In their inaugural NorPac season, he guided the Highlanders to an 8-15 overall and 3-3 conference record, tying for second place in the East division. Two of his players, Tessa Brookes and Brooke Peterson, were named to the all-conference first and second teams respectively. Peterson also garnered all-tournament honors. Woods picked up his first NorPac win on Sept. 9, 2001, in their inaugural game, defeating Appalachian State 2-1 at home. Radford also won the consolation championship at their first tournament with another 2-1 victory over ASU. Over the years, he has enjoyed success at both the collegiate and international levels. He has been recognized for his achievements in the coaching ranks over the years. In 1996, he led the Highlanders to a 10-8 mark and was named the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year. In 1991, Woods guided Radford to a 17-7 record, its most successful season ever, and was named the South Region Co-Coach of the Year by the national coaches’ association. Internationally, Woods served as an assistant coach for the USA

2009 Radford Field Hockey

Men’s Field Hockey squad during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. In 1991, Woods was the assistant coach for the U.S. team at the World University Games and the 1995 Pan American Games in Argentina. He also coached at five U.S. Olympic Sports Festival and guided his teams to gold and silver medal finishes in 1989, 1990 and 1993. His playing career began overseas as an exchange student at Birkbeck College in London in 1984. After returning to the U.S., Woods played on the East team during the 1986 U.S. Olympic Sports Festival. He was also a member of the Halifax Fighting Haddocks. Woods’ coaching career also started overseas while stationed with the United States Navy in Australia. It was there that he began coaching the American baseball team as they traveled to tournament and games throughout Western Australia. He also competed in Navy Rugby and played a season of Australian Rules Football while stationed in Exmouth, W. Australia. A 1984 graduate of James Madison with a degree in communications, he earned a master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1987. He and his wife, Maria, reside in Radford with their four children; James, Jordan, Elizabeth and Jonathan. James will be a freshman on the Radford baseball team.

TIFFANY SAUNDERS ASSISTANT COACH FIRST SEASON AT RADFORD Playing almost every position except goalkeeper, she left Radford ranked second in career assists with 20. She amassed 11 (second most in a RU single season) of those helpers during a breakout junior season when she assumed the full time role of stopper. That 2005 total was the most since 1991 and ranked her second overall in the NorPac. Saunders concluded her career with seven assists and three goals during her senior campaign, helping the Highlanders to a second-straight third place victory in the NorPac tournament while earning all-tournament honors in 2006. Saunders and her husband Terence reside in Christiansburg with their daughter Taliana.

After spending four seasons in the red and white, former Radford standout Tiffany (Church) Saunders returns to her alma mater as the program’s assistant coach. “Tiffany is a great addition to the Highlander field hockey program,” said Woods. “Her familiarity with our system and what we expect out of our players will make for a smooth transition into the coaching ranks.” Saunders (’07) will be involved in all phases of the program and will work primarily with goalkeepers and forwards. Known for her creativity as a stopper on penalty corners during her playing days, Saunders will also play a part in working with the offensive corner unit. As a four-year starter for the Highlanders (2003-06), Saunders was a versatile and creative player under Woods. She played key roles in Radford’s runner-up finish in the 2003 NorPac Tournament and its 2004 East Division championship, which included a perfect 6-0 regular season.

MARLEE SCHRAMM

2008 SEASON HEADLINES McLamb’s Overtime Tally Lifts Radford Past Stanford Senior Stephanie McLamb scored 7:52 into overtime to lift Radford past defending NorPac champion, Stanford, 1-0 at Davidson’s Belk Turf Field. It was the third straight shutout victory for the Highlanders. After some back-and forth play in overtime, sophomore Lara Cariker drew the first penalty corner of the extra session. McLamb took the insert from freshman Lynsey Daughtrey and ripped a shot from the top of the circle. The shot was deflected by a Stanford defender into the cage for the game-winner. McLamb Records Hat Trick at No. 5 North Carolina Stephanie McLamb recorded her first collegiate hat trick, but it wasn’t enough as Radford fell at No. 5 North Carolina. The three goals by the Highlanders are tied for the most scored against the Tar Heel defense this season. Carolina came into the match allowing just five total goals (0.66 GAA), which included three against then No. 5 Iowa. Daughtrey, Mclamb Garner Weekly Norpac Honors Senior Stephanie McLamb and freshman Lynsey Daughtrey were named NorPac Co-Offensive and Rookie of the Week respectively on Sept. 23. Four-Goal First Half Lifts Radford Past Davidson, 5-0 Behind a four-goal first half and a strong defensive effort Radford, playing its home opener, shut out Davidson, 5-0. Senior Alex Wladich paced the offensive output with two goals and the Highlander defense held the Wildcats to just four shots to record their fifth shutout of the season. Field Hockey Edges Longwood in Penalty Strokes After outshooting Longwood 32-3 during 100 minutes of play, Radford needed penalty strokes to earn a thrilling 2-1 NorPac victory. Junior goalkeeper Megan Stucke was instrumental making four saves during the shootout, allowing the Highlanders to stay alive and edge the Lancers, 4-3. With the score knotted at 1-1 after regulation, the teams went into two seven versus seven sudden death overtime periods. Radford was on the offensive for the majority of the 30 minutes, outshooting Longwood 19-0, but Erin West withstood the pressure, making 15 saves, including nine in the first overtime. McLamb, Schramm Named NorPac Players of the Week For their efforts in a pair of Radford victories, senior Stephanie McLamb and freshman Marlee Schramm were named NorPac Offensive and Rookie of the Week, respectively on Oct. 7. It is the second honor for McLamb and the first for Schramm.

Wadolowski’s Overtime Goal Upends Appalachian State, 2-1 on Senior Day Freshman Madonna Wadolowski scored with just over three minutes left in the

first overtime to lift Radford past Appalachian State, 2-1. Senior Stephanie McLamb set up the goal to help send her class out with a victory. Senior Alex Wladich also contributed with an assist on Radford’s first goal. McLamb and Wladich along with classmates Christine Fairchild and Holly LoJacono were honored in a pregame senior ceremony. StuCke Garners Defensive Player of The Week Honor Junior goalkeeper Megan Stucke was named NorPac Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the conference on Oct. 14. It was the first defensive honor for the Highlanders this season and the fifth overall recognition. Stucke played a key part in Radford’s 2-1 overtime victory versus Appalachian State on Saturday. She made six saves helping the Highlanders to their third straight victory and seventh in their last nine games. Radford also moved into second place in the NorPac with the win. Connolly Nabs Two Rookie of the Week Honors Niamh Connolly was named the NorPac Conference’s Rookie of the Week on Oct. 22 and Nov. 3. She was the third Highlander to earn the accolade in 2008 and the second multiple weekly award winner for Radford. The freshman forward made the most of her first two collegiate starts. In her debut nod, she gave Radford an early lead and generated a total of three shots against Pacific. The following day versus Bryant, Connolly scored the Highlanders’ second goal in a 3-0 triumph over the Bulldogs. Connolly was one of several Highlanders who contributed to a 5-4 win at Appalachian State, tying the game in the second half and settting up Radford’s second goal in the first stanza. McLamb, Fairchild Garner All-NorPac Honors A pair of Radford seniors: midfielder Stephanie McLamb and back Christine Fairchild, were recognized for their performance in 2008 with selections to All-NorPac field hockey teams at the conference’s annual awards banquet. McLamb was a first team selection, while Fairchild was a second team pick. Field Hockey Recognized For Academic Excellence Radford University’s field hockey team was honored for their academics by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. Radford received the distinction of having a team GPA of 3.0 or higher as well as having 14 student-athletes obtain a 3.3 or higher during the fall 2008 semester. The student-athletes that were honored were senior Christine Fairchild, Holly LoJacono, Alex Wladich, Stephanie McLamb, Megan Stucke’s, sophomores, Megan Lenhardt, Kay Tufts, and freshmen Niamh Connolly, Lynsey Daughtrey, Melissa Register, Marlee Schramm, Ellie Staples, and Madonna Wadolowski. Fairchild, LoJacono, and Wladich were also recognized for being four-year award recipients of this academic honor.

RADFORD FIELD HOCKEY HISTORY SINGLE GAME RECORDS

LAURIE MORRIS-BELL A founding member of both the field hockey varsity team and the softball club, Bell was at the forefront of the explosion of athletics at Radford in the early 1980s. She was a letter winner and team leader on the first field hockey squads, including the first varsity team in 1981. The Virginia Beach native was a final cut from the U.S. Olympic team in 1980, and went on to a successful coaching career after her 1982 graduation, beginning with a four-year stint at Radford.

Only 21 years old when she took over in 1982, by her second season Morris had turned Radford into a Division II powerhouse. The team went 14-2-3 and was ranked 10th in the nation in the final 1983 poll. Her final Highlander team was 10-7 in 1985, making the difficult transition to NCAA Division I play.

Formed in 1982, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has evolved over the past 27 years from an initial California membership to the current east and west blend. Three of the original teams include University of the Pacific, Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley. Both Appalachian State University and Davidson College accepted invitations to join in 2000 followed by Radford University in 2001. Longwood University was added to the conference in 2005 as a provisional member while reclassifying to a Division I membership. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification requirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and was the host for the 2008 championship. UC Davis joins the NorPac conference for the 2009 season. After the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program was elevated from club to intercollegiate status, the NorPac Conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member in July 2008. The Aggies are eligible to complete in a full 2009 conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament held at Stanford University Nov. 5-7. With the addition of UC Davis as the eighth member, the conference will re-establish Eastern and Western divisional play in 2009. The Aggies join California, Pacific and Stanford to make up the West Division. Appalachian State, Davidson, Longwood and Radford will form the East Division.

The round-robin divisional play will culminate with the conference championship tournament for all eight members. Stanford will be hosting its fourth (1999, 2002, 2007 and 2009) NorPac Championship in 2009. The championship has been hosted three times by Saint Louis University (1998, 2000, 2003). Davidson has hosted twice (2004 and 2006) with Appalachian State (2001) and California (2005) serving as the host institution once. In 1998, the growth and development of the NorPac as an NCAA single-sport conference was assisted by a three-year grant from the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the NCAA, as well as by a partnership with and support from the United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA). Through the grant opportunity, the restructuring of the conference included members California, Davis and Elkins College, Missouri State, Pacific, Saint Louis and Stanford University. Since 1999, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has received an NCAA play-in opportunity or a conference automatic qualification (2005). Over the past decade NorPac representatives are 7-2 in NCAA play-in games.
