2012 Women’s Soccer 2012 Blazers Outlook The 2012 UAB women’s soccer team looks to improve upon the 2011 season and attempt a run at both a Conference USA title and a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Blazers finished 2011 with a 6-12-1 overall record and went 3-7-1 in Conference USA action.

sibly can. I want them to do big things here. The soccer will take care of itself, but the mentality is everything. If you don’t have the right mentality to succeed, it’s going to be tough.”

“The biggest thing is that we want to improve from last season, but to go further than that, our main goal is to get to the NCAA Tournament,” head coach Harold Warren said. “Obviously, we have to get better at every training session, every half per game, but we really just want to play with more quality on our soccer.”

The Blazers will introduce two new goalkeepers for the 2012 season as true freshmen Courtnie Northern, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, and Angelica Jimenez of Pembroke Pines, Fla. join the roster

A major focus for this season will be the team’s mentality and focus. “We have to have a better mentality, a winning mentality, a killer instinct,” he said. “I came from a place where they win a lot of national championships, and it’s important to have these young ladies have the same type of mentality where they want to get as far as they pos-

GOALKEEPING

“In goal, we’re going to be starting Courtnie Northern, a freshman, and we’re going to be expecting her to do good things and keep us afloat,” Warren said. “Goalkeepers help you win games, and she’s done a good job for us thus far.” DEFENDERS

Junior midfielder Kirsten Ebert will serve as co-captain of the 2012 squad.

On the defensive side, the UAB squad will start the season with significant experience, courtesy of returners Sam Bradford, a junior, fellow junior Jasmine Kauka, redshirt sophomore Kelsey Waechter, and junior transfer Amy Harrison.

junior season and started in 17 of those matches. The Jacksonville, Fla. native recorded a career-high three goals, one assist, and seven points during the 2011 campaign, and was also credited with 21 shot attempts, fourth highest on the squad. Smith registered her first gamewinning goal in the 4-2 victory over Ole Miss (Sept. 17).

“We’re going to have an experienced back line, which will consist of Sam Bradford, Kelsey Waechter, Jasmine Kauka, and Amy Harrison,” Warren said. “Mary Catherine Combs was a starter last year, but she’s still coming back from injury. Once she comes back, we’ll fit her into the back line.” MIDFIELD The bulk of the Blazer experience will come from an extremely versatile midfield that will also take on the responsibilities in the forward position, led by captains Emma Jane Smith, a senior, and junior Kirsten Ebert. Senior midfielder Emma Jane Smith will looks to lead the Blazers to a successful campaign.

Smith made 19 appearances in her

Ebert started in 14 of 16 appearances, and netted her first collegiate goal during her sophomore season during the game at Kennesaw State (Sept. 11). Ebert was named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and also earned the league’s Academic Medal. “In the midfield, we’ll probably have two starters returning in Emma Jane Smith and Kirsten Ebert, and a returner that will join them is Megan Collins,” Warren said. “We also expect Johanna Liney to step into a bigger role. A new starter, our target forward, will be Abby Phillips.”

2012 Women’s Soccer 2012 Blazers Outlook give us what we need in order to be successful.” SCHEDULE The Blazers’ 2012 schedule features a highly-competitive non-conference slate where the squad will spend six of eight matches on the road. The schedule starts off as UAB faces Oregon State and Oregon on Aug. 17 and 19, respectively. UAB will kick off its home schedule hosting in-state foe Alabama at West Campus Field on Aug. 26 before hosting Oklahoma State on Aug. 31.

Junior midfielder Jasmine Kauka appeared in all 19 games of the 2011 season.

For a team with 12 newcomers, 10 of them true freshmen, unity along with leadership from the returning players will be crucial for the squad’s success. “We have a lot of returners that will be starting this year, and they know I expect a lot from all of them,” Warren said. “There’s no one player or two players that we hinge on, all these young ladies, the returners, have had a great spring and should do a good job.”

UAB will conclude the eight-team non-conference schedule on the road, facing Samford and Ole Miss on Sept. 2 and 7, respectively, before traveling to the state of Florida to face Stetson (Sept. 14) and Florida Atlantic (Sept. 16).

UAB will wrap up the season at home against five-time defending C-USA champion Memphis on Thursday, Oct 25. The Conference USA Championship will be held Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 at El Paso, Texas.

This year’s freshman class will feature a number of players who should make an immediate impact. “Isabel Shanteau is a freshman that will come in, and we hope to see good things from her,” Warren said. “Paige Hanks, once she’s healed up, we expect her to make an immediate impact, and Paige Hoffman will give us a big boost in the midfield as well. Others will help us, but these girls will really

The 2012 Blazers look to impvoe upon last year’s 6-12-1 record.

2012 Women’s Soccer Head Coach Harold Warren

Harold Warren

Head Coach • Second Season Cal Poly Pomona, 2002

Harold Warren begins his second season at the helm of the UAB women’s soccer program, which went 6-12-1 in his first year as head coach. Warren took over a UAB program that had been guided for 15 years by Paul Harbin, who retired following the 2010 season. While at USC, Warren helped turn the Trojans into one of the most successful programs in the nation. One of Warren’s primary responsibilities with USC was working with the defense.

The Trojans captured the 2007 NCAA Championship, finishing with a 20-3-2 record as they recorded 15 shutouts and allowed only 13 goals during the season. In the four years Warren was on staff at USC, the Trojans earned berths in the NCAA Tournament each of those seasons while compiling a cumulative record of 61-20-10.

In the spring of 2010, Warren furthered his coaching experiences overseas in Europe. He completed two coaching assistantships. One was with VVV-Venlo in the Dutch Eredivisie League, one of the most prominent leagues in the Women’s Head Coach Netherlands, and one was with ForYear School Overall Record Conference Record tuna Sittard in the Dutch Jupiler 2011 UAB 6-12-1 3-7-1 League.

I’ve worked hard my entire coaching career and being the head women’s soccer coach at UAB is a dream come true. “I feel that this program will be a force to reckon with UAB is a top-notch institution of higher learning in the great city of Birmingham and has an unbelievable athletic department with all the support we need to be successful on a national level.” His coach at USC, Ali Khosroshahin, said he has no doubt Warren is ready to lead his own program. “Harold has been ready for this opportunity for a long time,” said Khosroshahin, who has been USC’s head coach for six seasons. “When I became the head coach at SC, Harold was at Arizona and the first call I made was to him

about joining our program. He has a great handle on recruiting nationally. UAB is getting one of the best coaches in the country. I am extremely excited for Harold.”

2012 Women’s Soccer This is UAB Soccer UAB was a great place to further my athletic and academic career. They provide you with the tools to succeed and compete at the highest level. I had the time of my life and have gained life-long friends from the experience. -- Jenny Rynders, 2001-04

It was important to me to be in a culturally-diverse environment during my college experience. I also wanted to be in an environment that would challenge me both on the field and in the classroom. During my four years as a Blazer, I gained tremendous life experience in being pushed beyond my limits to pursue excellence. And even more important than these, I gained life-long friendships. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. -- Katie Forbis, 2003-06

Since the inception of UAB women’s soccer in 1996, the program has experienced tremendous growth. Former head coach Paul Harbin was with the program for 15 years and built the team from ground up. It is now head coach Harold Warren’s task to take the team to the next level and further develop this rapidly-growing program. Birmingham is a veritable soccer hot bed. From the 1996 Olympics to World Cup qualifiers, and from U.S. National Team friendly play for both men and women to MLS squads, many of the elite players and fans in the world have paid Birmingham a visit. The city and UAB have left an indelible mark on the soccer world. In the last five years, West Campus Field has hosted the U.S. Men’s National Team and U-17 squad, the Birmingham International Festival and the Colorado Rapids of MLS. Legion Field has seen national teams from Brazil, Ecuador, England, Guatemala and Tunisia.

2012 Women’s Soccer Conference USA From its beginning in 1994, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. As we enter the 2012-13 season, C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. These C-USA institutions all sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs that compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).

Britton Banowsky C-USA Commissioner

The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport. SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation. Football • 67 teams have earned bowl bids • Member of the Bowl Championship Series • Bowl tie-ins with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Military Bowl, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl and the TicketCity Bowl Men’s Basketball • Consistently rated as one of the top basketball leagues in the country • 102 postseason teams (49 NCAA, 41 NIT, 6 CBI, 6 CIT) • One National Championship title game appearance • Three Final Four teams • Seven Elite Eight NCAA Tournament teams • One NIT Champion and four NIT semifinalists • Inaugural CBI Champion

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among studentathletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 17 years, 169 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 588 were named All-District. In addition, more than 22,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all 12 of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming. C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. GOVERNANCE Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. A PROUD HISTORY Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner.

Women’s Basketball • 47 NCAA Tournament appearances • 38 WNIT appearances • One team in the NCAA Sweet 16 • Two WNIT semifinalists • One WBI Champion

C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, Conference USA began a new chapter in 200506 when its current membership came together.

Baseball • 57 NCAA appearances • Six College World Series appearances (2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2001), including five of the last eight • 13 Super Regional appearances • Has produced at least four NCAA teams in nine of the last 11 seasons

A PROMISING FUTURE With more conference realignment taking the stage during the 2011-12 season, C-USA held onto its strong foundation, identity and a history that reflects the league’s national presence. Conference USA will welcome six new institutions in 2013, including the return of charter member Charlotte along with FIU, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. These six members will join with East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP. In addition to the outstanding competition and strong athletic achievements these schools bring, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent. Additionally, the geography of these members allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the student-athletes, fan-friendly and cost effective.

In addition, 36 volleyball teams, 61 men’s and women’s soccer teams and 34 softball teams have earned NCAA Tournament bids. C-USA has sent three men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, three softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the Sweet 16. The league has also had eight national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 650 NCAA appearances.

Founded shortly after the Civil War, Birmingham rapidly became known as “The Magic City” because of its phenomenal rate of industrial growth in its beginning. Its mountainous strata and forest surrounding the city are rich with ore

quickly transformed young Birmingham into a bustling steel metropolis. Today, Birmingham continues to earn the distinction, “The Magic City,” but this tribute is due to the city’s economic competitiveness, technological advancements and quality of life — offerings which are sought after by professionals with an eye toward the future. Birmingham has been recognized as one of America’s “Most Livable Cities” by the U.S. Conference of Mayors — as recently as 1993. Birmingham’s strategic location and diverse economy position the city as one of tremendous opportunity and growth. Centrally located and the largest municipality in Alabama, the city is home to a number of renowned individuals who have made an impression on the nation and the world in music and entertainment, education, medicine and sports, to name a few. There is never a lack of cultural entertainment in “The Magic City”.

Sports enthusiasts will never be at a loss for activity at the heart of the “Football Capital of the South.” UAB plays all of its home football games at historic Legion Field, which also was the site of preliminary round soccer matches at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Professional athletic teams in the area include the Class-AA Birmingham Barons (baseball). Several annual fests are held in Birmingham. The biggest is City Stages, held each spring in the downtown City Center. City Stages attracts nearly a quarter of a million people for a three-day weekend of unlimited music. All of this and more makes Birmingham “The Magic City” to residents and visitors year-round.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Museum stands as a reminder of the past and a beacon of hope for the future.

Brian Mackin, Athletics Director

rian Mackin was named UAB’s Director of Athletics on February 14, 2007. He moved into the position after spending five years as senior associate athletic director for external affairs for the Blazers. A former UAB baseball letterman, Mackin has a deeprooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director. Mackin’s desire to see UAB excel both on and off the playing field was never more apparent than this past academic year when the Blazers turned in their highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings in 12 years. He has made success in the classroom and improving athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions. Under Mackin’s watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mission to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete’s experience while at UAB. Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for

student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions. Mackin’s priority on academics has paid dividends as the Blazers’ Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores have improved each year under his tenure as AD. The most recent APR report released in June showed that all but three of UAB’s teams have a multi-year rate of 950 or better. Since Mackin became athletics director, a new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened. A new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers’ Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices. Other facilities improvements have included the resurfacing of the track for the Blazers’ track and field team. The first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed prior to the start of the 2010 season. This past February, the Don and Alicia Huey Softball Hitting Facility was dedicated. The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academics. In the last two years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB’s athletics teams. In his position as athletics director, Mackin has also been involved on various conference and national committees. He just completed his first year as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic department. In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin’s leadership, 4 5

contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Investors Group, the Champion Club, and the Blazer Club, which brought together the two annual funds supporting football and men’s basketball. Prior to joining UAB, Mackin served as Manager of Corporate Business Development at Vulcan Materials, where he was responsible for examining potential new markets for business development and locating growth opportunities in the industry. Mackin earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from UAB in 1983. He was a member of the Blazer baseball team four seasons and then moved into the Houston Astros baseball organization where he spent one season. Mackin then joined Vulcan Materials, where he held management positions in sales and market analysis. In 1990, he joined Southern Ready Mix as sales manager before joining Dunn Construction in 1993 where he rose to vice president in 1999. His responsibilities included business development, sales and project management. Mackin’s community activities include the Birmingham Tip-Off Club, which hosts the State High School Final Four, the Monday Morning Quarterback Club and the Birmingham Rotary Club. He has served as the president of the Birmingham Tip-Off Club. In addition, Mackin is a member of the Public Athletic, Cultural and Entertainment Facilities Board of the City of Birmingham (PACE). Mackin and his wife, Sally, have five children: Ragland (24), Brian Jr. (22), Ferrell (19), Mary Aileen (18), and Ella (16).

Alabama Sports Hall Of Fame ’89 Bartow Hall Of Fame ’09 National College Basketball

ne of the most respected figures in intercollegiate athletics, Gene Bartow, forged the UAB athletic program into a well-rounded organization with outstanding teams in several sports. Bartow, considered the “founding father” of UAB athletics, grew the intercollegiate sports program there from its infancy into one that featured 17 sports and an annual operating budget of more than $8 million by the time he retired from the position in 2000. Bartow, who passed away Jan. 3, 2012 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, guided the program through three conference changes, grew the football team from a club sport into a Division I-A program, and added several women’s sports to the university’s athletics roster. Bartow was at the helm of the UAB men’s basketball program for 18 seasons, compiling a record of 366-203 (.643) during his tenure. He led the Blazers to the NIT in the program’s second year of existence, and followed that up with seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 in 1981 and the Elite Eight in 1982. In all, he led UAB to 14 postseason appearances, nine of which were NCAA Tournaments. In addition to his time at UAB, Bartow is one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. By the time he retired from collegiate coaching in 1996, he had led teams for 34 years at six universities (Central Missouri State, Valparaiso, Memphis State, Illinois, UCLA and UAB), compiling 647 wins, 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Four appearances, one national title game appearance and one national Coach of the Year Award (both with Memphis State in 1973), and no probation problems with the NCAA. In 2009, Bartow received the ultimate honor as he was inducted into the National College Basketball Hall of Fame. He entered the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and is also a member of both the Missouri Basketball Hall of Fame and the Northeast Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame. The Browning, Mo. native coached 34 years at six universities. He coached at Central Missouri State University from 1961-64, Valparaiso University from 1964-1970, Memphis State University from 1970-74, and he led the Tigers to the ‘73 NCAA national championship game and consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles in the ‘71-’72 and ‘72-’73 seasons. In 1974 Bartow accepted the head coaching position at the University of Illinois. Illinois finished 8-18 in his only season coaching the Fighting Illini, and Bartow left his position to succeed John Wooden as the head coach of UCLA. Bartow coached at UCLA from 1975 to 1977, guiding them to a 52-9 record, including a berth in the 1976 Final Four. Bartow left UCLA after the 1977 season to take over the job of creating an athletic program at UAB. Bartow retired from coaching in 1996, and in 1997, UAB renamed its basketball venue, Bartow Arena, in his honor. The Birmingham News has voted him one of the top 10 most influential figures in Alabama sports for the past century. Bartow is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Huffine, and three children, Mark, Beth and Murry, who is the head men’s basketball coach at East Tennessee State. 14971

It boasts 18,000 square feet of weight and fitness space outfitted with all-new equiptment and a one-eighth-mile oval running track that juts out of the building, curving toward University Boulevard and 15th Street South to provide panoramic views of the campus. And just to make sure no one gets bored, planners added a five-story, rock-climbing wall.

There are also four aerobic rooms and a swimming pool with four lap lanes and leisure and physical rehabilitation areas. The handicap-accessible pool has many special features. A continuous current in the “lazy river” carries swimmers around the outer edge of the pool in inner tubes – the ride ends under a waterfall – or individuals can walk against the flow as a part of a physical rehabilitation program. For more intense resistance training, center members can use the “vortex,” a circular area within

The center also has a juice bar, wireless internet access, and an Outdoor Pursuits Center that rents camping gear and leads backpacking, rafting, and skiing trips to desitnations around the United States.
