2010 Detroit Women's Lacrosse


Season Outlook

Anna Eidem

Some established teams may define themselves as young because they only have one senior or just a few upperclassmen. With this being said, Detroit's women's lacrosse team is the epitome of young as the Titans are just in their second year of existence and have a total of nine second-year players, along with eight newcomers. "The majority of our players are sophomores and they have that year of experience under their belt; they are aware of some of the expectations," said UDM head women's lacrosse coach Mary Ann Meltzer. "However, we are still very, very young. I'm sure we'll still make young mistakes, but at least going into the game, they know the expectations." Four returners are serving as team captains for this season's team in sophomores Emily Boissonneault, Anna Eidem, Mel Hicks and Corina Mahorn. With the absence of Liz Hardy and Megan Canty, we will be looking at our current captains to be the leaders of the team this year," commented Meltzer. "We've worked really hard as a coaching staff with our captains since we are very young. Each of them brings their own unique perspective to the team which together provides us great leadership.” 

Boissonneault ended the inaugural season with teamhighs in both goals and points, with 57 in each c a t e g o r y. At year's end, she was awarded the National Lacrosse Conference Attack MVP honors and was also named to the womenslacrosse. com's All-Rookie Team. "Emily made a huge impact on our team last year," added Meltzer. "This season, I think that teams are going to hone in on her and she's going to get doubled. We are looking to play her in the defensive midfield because I am confident in her defense and that position can go either way." Eidem started every game for the Titans last year and closed out the season second among teammates in goals (37), assists (7) and points (44). She also tallied two game-winning goals on the year, with the second coming in the semi-finals of the NLC Tournament versus Presbyterian. "Anna is probably one of our hardest working players and is just an all-around great athlete," commented Meltzer. "Every time she steps out on the field, she gives us 110 percent. Anna also has a very positive attitude; she's always encouraging the team and pushing them to do their best.” Hicks was in the starting line-up on defense for all 14 contests last year and collected 17 groundballs on the year. "Mel is going to be the leader

of our defense," said Meltzer. "She has gone through a year of Division I ball and am looking for her to make a bigger impact on defense this year." Mahorn also started every game for the Titans last year and was a part of Detroit's first-ever official face-off in UDM's 20-1 rout of Howard in Washington, DC, last February. "Corina is big asset for us in the midfield," stated Meltzer. "She is key in this position and is extremely fast. When Corina steps on the field, I know she is going to give us everything she has." Other returners from last year are sophomores Kandice Bogatz, Olivia Mendoza, Alyssa Shaver, Maya Thomas, Alysca Valentine, Megan Wallace and Brett Yenger. "I'm excited for the core group of women coming back," said Meltzer. "They are very unique in the sense that they started something special at Detroit last year.

"They work hard together on and off the field and have done a good job of bringing the younger girls in and making it a team; they really have done everything that we've asked them to do." Joining Hicks on defense are Thomas and Valentine, both of whom gained valuable experience in their first year with Thomas playing in every contest and Valentine in 12 for Detroit. "Defense is going to be key for us," added Meltzer. "We want to be aggressive and put pressure on the ball. Our mentality is going to be looking for the double team and forcing our opponent to be uncomfortable.” Returning to midfield, outside of the three other captains, are Wallace and Valentine and those new to the team in this position are freshmen Erin Campbell, Megan Callahan and Zaynib Hamze. "We want to be quick on the midfield and we want to get the ball down in transition," stated Meltzer. On attack, those vying for

playing time will be Bogatz, in 2010,” said Meltzer. “We are Mendoza, junior Hilary Petcoff, looking to improve upon what as well as freshmen Madison we accomplished last year and Noland, Lindsey Saunders, and I am excited about competing in Britany Busch. the newly formed NLC.” "In terms of attack, some of UDM will return home on the things we're looking at is March 5 for a match-up against spreading the scoring out and Cincinnati and will not play at working on assisted goals," com- Titan Field again until March 17 mented Meltzer.

Coaching Staff

Mary Ann MELTZER Head Coach Second Season Maryland '90 When Mary Ann Meltzer was hired in September 2007, a Division I women’s lacrosse program was still just a goal on the horizon for the University of Detroit Mercy. But 18 months of tireless work later, the UDM women’s lacrosse team took the field for its first-ever game on Feb. 21, 2009 against Howard University in Washington, D.C. Instant gratification for all Meltzer’s hard work came in the form of a 20-1 win to notch the program’s first ever victory. The Titans took their lumps throughout the inaugural season but finished with a 5-9 record that in

cluded an opening round 18-9 win in the National Lacrosse Conference tournament over Presbyterian before ending the campaign with a loss to Longwood. Meltzer came to UDM from the University of Michigan, where she was head coach of the Wolverines’ club lacrosse team. In five seasons at U-M, she compiled a 93-22 record (.809 winning percentage), reaching the Women’s Division Intercollegiate Associates national tournament finals in 2006 and the semi-finals in both 2003 and ‘04. She coached 10 All-Americans during her tenure in Ann Arbor. Meltzer was selected National Collegiate Club Coach of the Year in 2006 and again in 2007. Meltzer played collegiate lacrosse at the University of Maryland before graduating in 1990. Meltzer was selected as an AllAmerican in 1989 and 1990 and, as a 1990 senior, was recognized as the National Offensive Player of the Year. She also played in the North-South All-Star Game. Additionally, Meltzer was a member of the United States National Lacrosse Team from 1988 to 1993. “The fact that Mary Ann has such a solid, successful background as both a coach and a college player is a win-win for us,” Gaither said. “She has a wealth of experience in lacrosse and she brings a great knowledge of the game with her to UDM.

“With women’s golf (2004) and lacrosse having been added at UDM within a short period of time, I think it shows just how committed our University is when it comes to offering additional Division I opportunities for female student-athletes.” Meltzer was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference 50th Anniversary Women’s Lacrosse Team in 2002 and she was also inducted into the Ohio chapter of the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2002, having played her high school lacrosse in Columbus. Meltzer’s coaching career began at nearby Birmingham Seaholm High School, where she compiled a five-year record of 78-23 (.772 winning percentage). She led Seaholm to three state championships (1998, 1999, 2001), and coached four high school All-Americans, all of whom went on to play college lacrosse. Meltzer was named Midwest High School Coach of the Year in 1999. Off the field, Meltzer was a member of the Board of Directors of U.S. Lacrosse from 200409, and was chairperson of the WDIA from 2006-08. She is currently serving as vice president for the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association and has been on the Board of Directors since 2004. Meltzer and her family reside in Northville, MI.

Strength & Conditioning athletes must contact their Strength Coach and also their Head Coach, prior to the scheduled time, if there is a time conflict. No team will ever work in the weight room without the supervision of one or more members of the Strength and Conditioning Staff.

Larry Bleach Fitness Center

The main goal of the Strength and Conditioning Department is to help the student-athlete improve physically and mentally in their respective sport. This will be accomplished in such a way that is safe and efficient for each individual athlete. As the student-athlete participates in these activities the strength and conditiong staff will work to lessen the possibility of injury or re-injury. If an injury should occur, they will work with the Sports Medicine Staff and the student-athlete to complete rehabilitation. Each team will have an individualized program based on their particular sport. Each program takes into account the intensity level, the physical demands, and skill involved in each individual sport and also each individual student-athlete. All teams and individuals will be subject to performance tests that will help design each program and also will help to determine the success of the program. The Strength and Conditioning Staff will work with each individual coach at all times. Each coach will receive updated attendance, evaluation, and comments on a regular basis about each studentathlete. Communication is the key to success in the weight room and on the playing field. Each team will have a designated time in the weight room that will be scheduled by the coaches and also the Strength and Conditioning Staff.

All UDM student-athletes are trained under the supervision of two full-time certified strength and conditioning coaches: head coach Joe Tofferi and assistant Nick Wilson, as well as two intern assistants. Every member of the Titan strength and conditioning staff is assigned specific varsity teams, which allows daily interaction between the athletes, their coaches and the strength and conditioning staff. Such interaction is a tremendous asset when developing a program that best serves the athlete and the team. Titans student-athletes are also counseled in important areas such as nutrition in order to allow them to perform at their highest level. In the past year, the Fitness Center expanded by over 400 square feet. Four new Olympic style platforms, three squat racks and other auxiliary speed equipment have also been added – all designed and implemented to improve the Titans’ speed and power. The center also features an ONS Performance nutritional shake machine. The post-workout drink is designed to help every athlete recover from training and conditioning by insuring an increase in their protein and carbohydrate intake.

Titan Field The UDM athletic department proudly unveiled its new, on-campus facility in October of 2007. The new facility is on the site of the old natural-grass Titan Field, and includes an A-Turf field, along with a six-lane polyurethane track and areas for the steeplechase and field events. The field is utilized by the UDM men’s and women’s lacrosse, track and field and soccer programs. The women’s lacrosse team played its first home game on the field on Feb. 28, 2009, falling to Niagara, 9-8. Current sophomore Emily Boissonneault made history that day, not for her teamhigh four goal effort, but because she netted the first-ever women’s lacrosse goal scored at Titan Field. Regardless of the outcome, this game was believed to be the first-ever Division I women’s lacrosse game played in the City of Detroit. The installation of the A-Turf and track was just the first part of the Titan Field upgrades. Phase 2, when completed in the future, will include stadium seating for 2,500-3,000 fans, concession stands,

rest rooms, a press box, new scoreboard, lights and a building with space for offices, locker rooms and storage. “The construction of our new synthetic field and track is another big step forward for the Titan Athletics Program. I am excited that our student-athletes and coaches, who work so hard day in and day out, will have the on-campus facilities they need to train and compete,” Titans athletic director Keri Gaither said. “The University’s substantial commitment for the new facilities is a critical component of our sport expansion plans.”

2009 Season Review Last year, a page in history was written by the University of Detroit Mercy women’s lacrosse program as the Titans became the first and only Division I lacrosse program to compete in the State of Michigan. Head coach Mary Ann Meltzer built the program from the ground up and helped lead the Titans to a 5-9 overall record in 2009, as well as an appearance in the National Lacrosse Conference Championship game. “I was happy with our overall record and finishing second in the NLC,” said Meltzer. “I’m proud with what we accomplished in our program’s first year, especially considering the youth and inexperience of some of the team. In addition, we were plagued by key injuries late in the year.” UDM opened up its inaugural season at Howard on Feb. 21 and captured a 20-1 victory over the Bison. Brett Yenger (Cincinnati, OH/

Yenger) played in net the entire game for the Titans, while Emily Boissonneault (Brooklin, ON/Donald A. Wilson), who ended the year with a team-high 57 goals, netted Detroit’s firstever goal. The Titans’ home opener was against Niagara on Feb. 28 and the Purple Eagles edged UDM by a score of 9-8. Later on in the year, Detroit won two straight home games with the first coming against Fresno State by a score of 17-3 and then defeated Presbyterian the next day, 21-15. Detroit closed out the 2009 campaign with three consecutive games away from Titan Field, and won the middle contest over Presbyterian by a score of 18-9 in the semifinal round of the NLC Tournament in Longwood, VA, on May 1. Two days later, UDM fell to Longwood in the championship game, 19-8.

National Lacrosse Conference University of Detroit Mercy head women’s lacrosse coach Mary Ann Meltzer and Director of Athletics Keri Gaither announced during the 2009 season that the Titans officially joined the National Lacrosse Conference (NLC), beginning with the 2010 campaign. “I am excited that the University of Detroit Mercy, in its inaugural season, has been able to facilitate the National Lacrosse Conference affiliation,” said Gaither. “All of the member schools have shown a commitment to promoting women sports, especially women’s lacrosse. I am very proud to be a founding member of the NLC and I am looking toward to offering additional opportunities for young women to attend UDM and play lacrosse.” Detroit, one of the founding members of the NLC, competed as an independent during the 2009 campaign. The Titans join Davidson, Howard, Jacksonville, Liberty, Longwood and Presbyterian in the NLC. In its first year of competition, UDM played three of these teams, garnering a 2-1 record



against those squads. “I am extremely excited to be part of the National Lacrosse Conference,” commented Meltzer. “It will help out with scheduling and, more importantly, the players will have the opportunity to earn conference awards and a chance to play in a conference tournament.” The NLC was founded in 2009 as a premier NCAA Division I Women’s Lacrosse conference and all schools in the conference have exhibited a strong commitment to academics, athletics and community involvement.

The University As Michigan’s largest Catholic university, the University of Detroit Mercy has built an outstanding tradition of academic excellence, firmly rooted in a strong liberal arts curriculum, for more than 130 years. The University has a rich tradition that emanates from its two predecessor institutions — the University of Detroit, founded in 1877 by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), and Mercy College of Detroit, founded in 1944 by the Religious Sisters of Mercy. In 1990, these schools consolidated to become the University of Detroit Mercy, a university dedicated to providing accessible, quality education while meeting the career-preparation needs of a diverse student population. Today, UDM offers approximately 100 majors and programs in seven different schools and colleges. Our faculty provides personal attention to students with a 14:1 student/faculty ratio.

Academic Support

When talking about students who compete in a varsity sport, the term typically used is “student-athlete.” The word “student” comes first, and that’s the way the University of Detroit Mercy approaches all of its athletic team members. Although performance in competition is important, they are students first, and athletes second, with their performance in the classroom plenty important in Titan Territory. UDM has long proven its commitment to preparing students for on-court battles as well as those in the classroom. In 1995, UDM opened the Center for Student-Athlete Development, one of the first of its kind. The center offers programs for academic classes, drug education, student enhancement and works to improve communication skills. All 19 varsity teams, and more than 200 student-athletes, at UDM are encouraged to take full advantage of the programs offered at the center. The center also heads up the NCAA Life Skills Program, which focuses on the student in student-athlete and how to deal with issues that all student-athletes today must face. 

Through seminars, guest speakers and NCAA videos, student-athletes are made aware of issues such as gambling and drug and alcohol abuse, and how to deal with these concerns. The center is made possible, in part, by a grant from the NCAA. In conjunction with the staff of the University Learning Center, members of the center’s staff teach UAS 107, “Athletes in Transition,” each year. All freshman and transfer student-athletes must take this course during their studies at UDM. The course deals with how studentathletes can make the transition from high school to college. This important class teaches studentathletes to deal with time and stress management, study skills and the import-ance of good nutritional habits. “I feel that this center does everything to prepare studentathletes to succeed in life after college,” said Steve Corder, a UDM Assistant Athletic Director. “Student-athletes sometimes enter college unaware of the expectations and pressures on them, and this center helps them alleviate some of that pressure by knowing what to expect and preparing for those added responsibilities.” Another example of Detroit’s commitment to its student-athletes’ academic excellence is the Athletic Academic Coordinator’s post. The position was created in 1988 and, since then, UDM’s graduation rate for student-athletes has steadily risen. Corder, no stranger to collegiate athletics as he played soccer for Detroit from 1994-98, and his staff carefully track each Titan’s academic progress to make sure they are on the right path toward graduation. In addition, Titan student-athletes

are helped with their tutorial needs through the use of the student-run Learning Center, where professors and students donate their time as tutors. Members of the athletic department’s administrative staff work together to run the studentathlete study table. The studentathletes’ academic progress is closely monitored and the study table is set up to assist the Titans with any and all academic areas, including providing tutors and a writing lab. The center is open daily and also has evening hours to work around a student-athlete’s busy schedule. All freshmen must take part in the study table, as well as other studentathletes who have not yet achieved a 2.75 GPA. Detroit also annually recognizes student-athletes who attain a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average by naming them to the Athletic Director ’s Honor Roll. During the 2008-09 school year, more than 120 Titans, well over half of UDM’s student-athletes, accomplished the feat. The number of honorees has steadily increased in the last decade. “Clearly, athletes come here to graduate,” Titans athletic director Keri Gaither noted. “Even though they want to compete at the Division I level, they want their degree, too. That’s the only thing which is more important. It’s the only thing that counts in the long run.”

City of Detroit Having celebrated its tricentennial in 2001, Greater Detroit has the best of the old and the most promising of the new. From Greektown to Bricktown, Detroit has it all. The oldest city in the Midwest, Detroit was discovered in 1701 and has since become the center of business and recreation for millions. It is the largest city in Michigan and the 11th largest in the United States. Encompassing three counties — Wayne, Oakland and Macomb — the Metropolitan Detroit area spans 2,026 square miles and is home to 4.4 million people, nearly one million of whom live within the City of Detroit. Detroit’s vibrant, 75-acre Civic Center is a riverfront mecca for convention, entertainment, festival and sporting activities. Home to Cobo Conference/ Exhibition Center and Arena, Joe Louis Arena and Philip A. Hart Plaza, the Civic Center is adjacent to some of the area’s finest hotels, top-notch restaurants and the famous Renaissance Center. Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center underwent a $200 million expansion, which was completed in 1989 and increased the facility’s exhibit space to 720,000 square feet, making it one of the nation’s largest convention centers. Renaissance Center, now the world headquarters for General Motors, is the city’s largest office complex, with seven gleaming towers of activity located on the Detroit riverfront. The 73-story Marriott Hotel is housed within this symbol of downtown development. Long known as the automobile capital of the world, the Detroit area is headquarters to all of the major automobile companies. While a lot of the area’s industry centers around the “horseless carriage,” Detroit is more than a smokestack town. Home to 16 of the Fortune 1000 firms, greater Detroit ranks sixth among U.S. cities in total spendable income. A short walk from the riverfront and the rigors of business is the enjoyment of exciting ethnic nightlife, known to Detroiters as Greektown. A two-block area of authentic Greek food and entertainment, Greektown became an even more invigorating locale in recent years with the addition of the Greektown Casino, one of three major casinos operating near downtown. One can enjoy art and scan the shelves that house 2.5 million books in the Detroit Public Library; and experience Michigan’s Underground Railroad movement at the Museum of African-American History. Americana at its finest is displayed at Dearborn’s Henry Ford and Greenfield Village. While The Henry Ford is a museum that displays artifacts and implements used

in earlier times, Greenfield Village demonstrates how these items were used and how they affected lifestyles. Music for every taste abounds in Greater Detroit. The Detroit symphony is world-renowned. Jazz greats join local performers at the annual Montreaux Jazz Festival. Popular music fans are entertained at several area music houses including the Royal Oak Music Theater, Orchestra Hall and the Fox Theatre. Detroit is a great sports town, known throughout the country for its enthusiastic fans. The Detroit Tigers play in Comerica Park, which opened in 2000 and hosted the 2005 Major League All-Star Game as well as 2006 World Series contests. Immediately adjacent to the Tigers’ home, the NFL Lions play in another wonderful new facility, Ford Field, which hosted Super Bowl XL in 2006. The 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional was played in Ford Field, as well as the 2009 Final Four, both of the events, incidentally, hosted by UDM. The 2008 Stanley Cup Champion Red Wings call Joe Louis Arena home. The NBA Detroit Pistons play in the Palace of Auburn Hills. Two-thirds of a mile across the Detroit River lies Windsor, Ontario, Canada. To celebrate the friendship and independence of the two nations, the International Freedom Festival is held for two weeks each summer, with activities in both countries.

The women’s team was led by freshman Emily Boissonneault, who earned National Lacrosse Conference Attack MVP honors. The men’s lacrosse team set the Titan Field record in attendance in its first home game, while the men’s tennis program saw junior Pjotrs Necajevs take home Horizon League Newcomer and Player of the Year accolades.

SEVEN STUDENT-ATHLETES RECEIVED ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS

The UDM Athletic Department announced the establishment of a pair of endowed scholarships for Titan student-athletes. The new Lee Graziotti Endowed Scholarship is awarded each year to two track and field student-athletes in good academic standing who go above and beyond on the track and in the classroom. The Raymond J. and Catherine Nagle Endowed Scholarship will also be presented to select student-athletes in good academic standing, based upon recommendation from UDM’s head coaches. The 2008-09 recipients for the Lee Graziotti Endowed Scholarship were seniors John LaRocca and Danielle Poulin. The Nagle Endowed Scholarship recipients included: Gino McCathney (men’s tennis), Madeline Franko (women’s soccer), Caitlin McPartlin (softball), Craig Budzynski (men’s fencing) and Ashlee McLemore (women’s fencing).

SAAC CONTINUES ITS LEGACY

The Detroit Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was as active as ever during the 2008-09 season, volunteering and giving a helping hand. The year included a visit to the Coalition on Temporary Shelter (COTS) in Detroit as the Titans assisted the regular workers in preparation of the food and setting up the room for dining services. Members of the group also took part in a charity Read-a-Thon to benefit the St. Christopher’s Catholic Elementary School in Windsor, helping raise over $16,000 for the school.

TITANS' BYRNE NAMED GOLF ALL-AMERICA SCHOLAR

Detroit Titans golfer David Byrne was named to the Cleveland Golf/ Srixon All-America Scholars Team for 2009. A total of 108 players in Division I earned the honor and Byrne was one of just two from Horizon League schools. To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least two full years at the collegiate level, participate in 70 percent of his team’s competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships and have a stroke average under 76.0 in Division I. Byrne continued that success in the summer, winning the 46th annual Western Ontario Amateur as well as the Ontario Champion of Champions and Men’s Match Play titles.

FUNDRAISING ON AN UPSWING

UDM is in the midst of an ambitious fundraising campaign to benefit the men’s basketball team. In August, the UDM Athletic Department announced that the head men’s basketball coach’s office will be officially renamed The Doris & Donald Duchene, Sr. Head Men’s Basketball Coach’s Office at the completion of Phase I renovations of the men’s basketball offices. Future plans call for the funds raised for a new state of the art video/film basketball operations office and renovation of the Sophia Boone Conference Room. The fundraising efforts in the past years also helped the Titans prepare for the 2009-10 season with a 10-day exhibition tour of Spain, with the red, white and blue showcasing a perfect 5-0 record overseas.
