TIGER SOCCER University of Memphis

The Tigers return 16 letterwinners, 10 of them starters, for the 2007 season. Following a 2006 campaign which showed incredible promise, this balanced and seasoned crew looks to build on last year’s early success—eight wins in the fi rst 10 matches and a spot among the top 20 teams in the nation.

With key additions to the roster, the Tigers will feature essentially the same talent that carried them to a No. 15 national ranking last fall. That talent has gained critical experience, and with it, the confi dence to push ahead through the diffi cult conference matches that dominate the second half of the schedule.

“We’re really pleased to have so many returning players that have had invaluable experience with the schedule that we played last year—the tough-est schedule that we’ve played, certainly since I’ve been here,” said head coach Richie Grant. “We have a similar schedule to face this year.”

Grant and the Tigers will rely on the core group of upperclassmen to lead the team. Three members of the 2007 squad—Jared Britcher, Adam Montgom-ery and Tyler Strom—were on the 2004 Conference USA championship team and have seen fi rst-hand what is required to win a conference championship. Add to that mix the talent brought by juniors Tripp Harkins, Jordan Lynn and Robert Sausaman and by transfers Sean Goulding and Kevin Walsh, the 2006 C-USA newcomer of the year, and you have the heart of the Memphis roster.

“The focus of the team is the maturity of the squad,” Grant said. “The players that are return-ing have had good experience playing a tough schedule. You can’t give that experience to a good freshman.”

The Tigers saw further development in their spring season, which was capped by a 2-1 vic-tory over the United Soccer League’s Atlanta Sil-verbacks. Former Tiger stars Dayton O’Brien and Andy Metcalf were on the professional team’s ros-ter and competed against their former coach and teammates. Success against professional com-petition shows the talent level showcased by the

Memphis squad and creates a favorable prospect for the 2007 season.

C O A C H E SGrant begins his ninth season at the helm of

Memphis program. His .561 winning percentage is the highest in Tiger soccer history. The two-time Conference USA Coach of the Year is just 21 wins shy of becoming the winningest coach in program history. Grant came to the University of Memphis from Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., where he won three conference titles in four years.

Goalkeeper coach Remco De Jong, who has trained the Tiger keepers the past two seasons, returns to lead the netminders again in 2007.

The newest addition to the coaching staff is former Tiger standout Nick Glaser. Previously serving as an assistant at the University of Dayton, Glaser brings a wealth of experience and energy to the program. He will be instrumental in the recruiting process in addi-tion to his duties as the assistant coach.

G O A L K E E P E R SThe Tigers return two experienced keepers for

2007 in Tyler Strom and Michael Goodlett. Strom, a senior, led Conference USA goalkeepers his sophomore season with an .815 save percentage. Last year Strom split time with Goodlett, a junior from Bolton, Miss. Coach Grant experimented with the position all season, and heading into 2007, both will be expected to contribute.

Both keepers have been putting in extra time during the off-season. While Strom traveled to Argentina for extra training, Goodlett worked with a professional development league in Jackson, Miss.

The Tigers added depth to the keeper squad with freshman recruit Keagan Graham, a Memphis na-tive who played at Christian Brothers High School. During his senior campaign, Graham allowed only 11 goals in 23 games, recorded 14 shutouts, and posted a 0.60 goals against average while leading his team to the state championship match.

T he 2007 Tigers are poised for a run at the Conference USA title. Having lost only one starter to graduation, a rising group of 10 juniors and seniors will lead a talented and

experienced group of underclassmen through a tough conference schedule on the road to Birmingham.

The lone loss from the 2006 squad was senior Vanderbilt transfer Jamie Gilbert. Grant will fi ll that void with the return of a healthy Michael Coburn, who missed the 2006 season with a broken tib-ia. Coburn returned to competition in the spring, but strained his MCL and missed the team’s fi -nal match against the Atlanta Silverbacks. At full strength, Coburn will lead the Tiger defense.

Said Grant, “His return has kind of replaced Ja-mie straight away. It’s like getting a great recruit, plus he’s got experience.”

Grant returns a trio of starters to anchor the back four: juniors Thomas Hyland and Robert Sausaman and sophomore Rick Alleman. All three played in every match last fall. They can be com-plimented on occasion by Jared Britcher, primarily a forward, but also “a very competent defender,” according to Grant.

Freshman signees Valfred Cole and Ryan Ru-ble also will compete for minutes in the fall, as will sophomore transfer Rory Dowd. Ruble and Dowd add depth to the left side of the back four and should play a key role in strengthening an already veteran defensive corps.

M I D F I E L D E R SAnother experienced group—three juniors and

a senior—comprises the heart of the Tiger mid-fi eld. Tripp Harkins was the team’s second-lead-ing scorer last season. He found the net on seven occasions and assisted three times for a total of 17 points. Sean Goulding scored four goals and assisted on three. Adam Montgomery and Jordan Lynn add a good defensive presence to the mid-fi eld.

Sophomore J.R. Romero spent the off-season in a professional development league, and with Erik Turjillo—a redshirt freshman last season—will add considerable depth and a defensive presence to the midfi eld.

F O R W A R D SThe Tigers return each starting forward from

last season. Kevin Walsh led the Tigers with 10 goals and seven assists in 2006. Walsh was se-lected the newcomer of the year and named to the All C-USA second team. He also was named to the College Soccer News Team of the Week and the Soccer America Team of the Week, as well as the C-USA offensive player of the week, for the week ending Sept. 17. Jared Britcher will complement Walsh up top and provide leadership for sophomore Brian Farrell, who was an integral part of last year’s offense. Farrell scored four goals with two assists in 2006 and should con-tinue to improve this season.

S C H E D U L ECoach Grant has another diffi cult schedule lined

up for the 2007 season. After opening the season at home against the up-and-coming Louisville Car-dinals, the Tigers will travel to California to face Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge. Also dotting the schedule are perennial powerhouses Creighton and SMU as well as the UAB Blazers, who made their fi rst NCAA Tournament appear-ance since 2001 a year ago.

Like last year, the second half of the season features primarily tough C-USA matches. “I don’t think we’ve ever had an easy conference game,” said Grant. “We certainly didn’t last year, so we don’t expect it to be any different this year.”

Among the toughest conference match-ups, two are at home. Kentucky comes to Memphis October 13 and South Carolina on Oct. 20, but Memphis travels to Tulsa, SMU and UAB.

Faring well against conference competition will be one key to success for the Tigers this season. To fulfi ll any expectation to do well, Coach Grant has placed responsibility squarely on the shoul-ders of the upperclassmen.

“The core group of leaders has to take a big, big responsibility with this team. They have to call on their experiences from the last two or three years for us to be successful,” he said.

Strom and Goodlett likely will share the goalkeeping respon-

sibilites this year, and the highly touted Graham will press for

playing time.

Coburn returns to the Tiger backfi eld after an injury-plagued

2006 campaign. He will replace Jamie Gilbert as the veteran

of the defense and lead a talented group of defenders.

Key NewcomersShawn Cáceres Fr.

Offensive and defensive balance is the trademark of the

Tiger midfi eld. Harkins, Walsh and Goulding will provide the

attacking presence needed to create goal-scoring opportuni-

ties while Montgomery, Lynn and Sausaman will look to shut

down opponent attacks at midfi eld.

FORWARDSReturning StartersJared Britcher Sr. 15 gp 3 g 4 a

Brian Farrell So. 18 gp 4 g 2 a

The Tigers will look to Britcher and Farrell to spark the of-

fense. However, many of the offensive opportunities were

created out of the midfi eld last season. Look for Walsh and

Harkins to spend a lot of time up top.

The two-time Conference USA Coach of the Year earned his 79th win at the University of Memphis last season, and his .561 winning per-centage is the highest in the program’s history. Since his arrival at Memphis in 1999, Grant has failed to reach the .500 mark only twice. He led the team to its first conference title in 2004 and the first NCAA tournament since 1993. Since the 2004 season, the Tigers have been recog-nized as one of the premier teams in the nation, cracking the top-20 each year.

Immediately following the 2004 conference championship, proof of the team’s overall strength was solidified in the form of a nation-ally-ranked offense, Grant’s fourth in seven years. The 2005 Tigers led C-USA and were third in the nation in goals-per-game (2.56) and were second in C-USA in goals (46), assists (43) and points (135). Two forwards from the 2005 squad were drafted by Major League Soc-cer (MLS) franchises.

The 2004 campaign also marked a new era of defensive dominance for Memphis soccer. The defensive unit set school records for goals allowed and goals-against average (0.70), which was ninth-best in the country. The follow-ing season, goalkeeper Tyler Strom led C-USA with an .815 save percentage.

The 2006 campaign showed the same kind of promise. The Tigers opened the season with

Grant then went on to play for the Minnesota Thunder, a semi-pro team that competes in the A-league.

After one season with the Thunder, Grant took a coaching position at Bloomsburg Univer-sity in Pennsylvania and earned his master’s degree in communication studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95.

Nick Glaser begins his first season as a coach with the University of Memphis soccer program after graduating from

Memphis in 2001. “We’re really pleased with the addition of

Nick to our program for a lot of reasons,” head coach Richie Grant said. “He’s a former player here, so he knows the expectations of the pro-gram as an athlete. He knows the standards of the conference, and he’s played profession-ally, so he brings a wealth of experience to our players. He already has a couple of years of coaching experience at Dayton, where he was instrumental in the recruiting process. We’re hoping to capitalize on what he’s learned at Dayton and apply that to our program.”

Glaser, a standout on Tiger soccer teams from 1997-2000, rejoins the program after spending the 2005 and 2006 seasons as an

assistant coach for Atlantic 10 power Univer-sity of Dayton.

From 2003-2004, Glaser served as an as-sistant at Cumberland University, where he worked with the Bulldogs’ men’s and wom-en’s teams before leaving the NAIA school to join the Flyers.

Glaser got a head start on his coaching career by working the club team ranks. The Hendersonville, Tenn., na-tive served as head coach of the Hendersonville Fever ‘93 team from 2001-2004 as well as the Hendersonville Fever ‘91 squad from 2002-2003.

After graduating from Mem-phis, Glaser continued his play-ing career with the Nashville Met-ros of the A-League and helped the club to the 2001 A-League playoffs, the club’s first postseason appearance since 1998.

After one season in Nashville, Glaser spent the 2002 and 2003 A-League sea-sons with the Cincinnati Riverhawks, lead-ing the club in minutes played in 2003.

While at Memphis, Glaser’s best season came during his 1997 freshman campaign

when he was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team. He helped the Tigers to a 10-8-2 record by playing in 20 games (18 starts) and recording five goals (including two

game winners) and five assists during his freshman season.

Glaser left Memphis in 2001 after earn-ing a degree in marketing and totaled 35

points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 73 games in a Tiger uniform.

Remco De Jong rejoins the Memphis men’s soccer team for his third season

as a goalkeeper coach. In his first season on the Tiger coaching staff, de Jong helped goalkeeper Tyler Strom develop into one of Confer-ence USA’s best netminders.

“Remco is a product of one of the best programs in the world, so he brings a great deal of exper-tise to that position,” head coach Richie Grant said. “He’s very committed to improving our young keepers, and that’s something you saw last year with Tyler Strom’s development.”

A native of Amsterdam, de Jong started playing soccer at Ajax in the Netherlands when he was 10-years-old. As a goalkeeper with Ajax, he played with John van het Schip, Stanly Menzo, and Marco

van Basten, who coached the Dutch National team to a Round of 16 appearance at the 2006 World Cup.

De Jong’s U-18 team, coached by three-time European Cup champion Johan Cruyff, won the Netherlands National Champion-ship in 1981-82. His Ajax 3 team also won the national champion-ship in 1985-86 and was a re-gional champion from 1985-88. In Holland, he coached the amateur club RKAVIC from 1996-2000 and is currently in his sixth year of coaching goalkeepers for the West Tennessee Futbol Club Dragons.

De Jong is married to Angela de Jong-Angelici, the executive pro-ducer of the Fox 13 morning show in Memphis. The couple lives in Memphis with their two children, Alyssa and Luca.

The University of Memphis men’s soccer program completed its 25th season in 2006. The original Mem-phis State Tiger team played its fi rst varsity matches in 1982 against a mixed group of NCAA schools, includ-ing now extinct SEC programs like the University of Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. That team won seven of its 20 matches in 1982.

Memphis soccer has made great strides since its inaugural season. In 25 years, the program has posted a 250-198-41 record, captured two con-ference titles and made two NCAA Tournament appearances.

Coaching regimes have divided Tiger soccer history into three eras. Peter Bermel coached the ‘82’ team in its transition from club to varsity sta-tus. In his six season at the helm the Tigers were 61-48-14. Only in his fi rst season did the Tigers fall short of a .500 winning percentage.

Chris Bartels took over in 1988 and coached through the 1998 season, posting a career 110-89-19 record with Memphis. The Tigers’ best sea-son under Bartels came in 1992 with a 14-3-2 record, a 4-0-1 mark in con-ference play and the program’s fi rst NCAA Tournament bid.

Current head coach Richie Grant has followed the example of his pre-decessors closely, averaging near 10 wins per season. Grant’s Tigers are 79-61-8 in his eight seasons, making one NCAA Tournament appearance following the 2004 Conference USA chamionship.

TIGER SOCCERTIGER SOCCER University of Memphis

The 2006 campaign was a tale of two seasons. The Tigers roared to an 8-2-0 start, the second-best start through 10 games in school history, and climbed as high as No. 15 in the national polls. However, Memphis struggled to a 3-5-0 conference record and battled nagging injuries to key players as they limped to 10-8-0 record and a fi rst-round loss in the Conference USA Tournament.

“The start we got off to and fi nding ourselves ranked among the top 20 for the third season in a row was very encouraging,” head coach Richie Grant said. “We continued to show that we compete well in the non-conference portion as well as in the region. So, in general, we were pleased to get to 10 wins and to see our program continuing to move toward where we want it to be. However, in the end, we realize that we still have a lot of work to do because we want to continue to climb the ranks of Conference USA.”

The Tigers proved their mettle in the season’s opening weekend thanks to consecutive come-from-behind overtime road wins. Memphis trailed former C-USA rival Louisville 3-0 early in the second half of the 2006 opener, but a goal from Kevin Walsh and a pair of strikes from Jared Britcher in 1:27 forced the match into overtime where Jamie Gilbert headed in a free kick to give the Tigers a 4-3 win. The Tigers rallied two days later to defeat Belmont 2-1 in overtime, winning their fi rst two road games of the season.

“The match against Louisville helped create the foundation for the rest of the season and gave us some early momentum,” Grant said. “Even when things got tough, our lads could look back at that and

know they had still had a chance. As a result, they always worked hard and never quit in a game.”

Memphis would need to draw on that experience as they prepared for a schedule that included match-ups against four top-15 teams (No. 1 SMU, No. 5 Clemson, No. 12 South Carolina and No. 14 Kentucky), a 2005 Elite Eight squad (Creighton), and

2006 NCAA Tournament qualifi er UAB.The Tigers suffered a hard fought 2-0 loss to

No. 5 Clemson before rebounding to win their next fi ve games and improve to 7-1-0. Wins at Air Force and Denver gave the Tigers four consecutive road wins for just the second time in school history and the No. 15 ranking in the nation, the program’s third consecutive year cracking the top 25.

Despite a loss at No. 12 South Carolina in the C-USA opener, Memphis came back to win its fi rst conference home game of the season against Tulsa to improve to 8-2-0 in the fi rst 10 games and record the best start by a Tiger team since the 1993 squad went 8-1-1 in its fi rst 10 matches.

However, as nagging injuries piled up and the competitive C-USA schedule went into high gear, the Tigers failed to keep up their torrid pace. Sophomore defender Michael Coburn sat out the season after breaking an ankle in the preseason. Britcher and sophomore defender Robert Sausaman missed matches due to illness. Sophomore midfi elder Shaun Goulding battled knee and foot injuries all season, and sophomore midfi elder Tripp Harkins suffered a broken nose and blown orbital while scoring the game-winning goal against Tulsa.

At less than full strength, the Tigers suffered critical conference losses against UCF, Florida International, No. 14 Kentucky and No. 1 SMU. But, thanks to wins over UAB and Marshall, the Tigers clinched a spot in the conference tournament where the season concluded with a loss to Kentucky in the fi rst round.

Memphis proved its toughness to the national soccer community and postseason honors began rolling in as validation of the Tigers’ 2006 season. Britcher and Sausaman were named to the C-USA All-Academic Team and the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District fi rst team. Meanwhile Walsh and Gilbert were honored with NSCAA/Adidas All-Midwest second team honors.

With just one member of the 2006 squad graduating, the Tigers will have an experienced and cohesive team heading into 2007, which gives

T iger soccer showcased a long list of young talent in 2006. Entering their first season since the loss of MLS draftees Andy Metcalf and Dayton O’Brien, the Tigers knew the ’06 season

would be a new kind of test. Through the course of a difficult schedule, the character of the program grew, and the next era of leadership emerged.

hope to the Memphis coaching staff as they look to continue building the program.

“We had some really good games. We played hard against some of the best teams in the country, and we showed that we are still moving in the right direction,” Grant said. “However, we have to be careful and realize that all we’ve done is created a strong foundation. There is no room for complacency going into the offseason. We need to continue to work to get where we want to be, and that’s at the top of the conference.”

Mr. September—Junior midfi elder Kevin Walsh led the Tiger offense all season, particularly in the month of September, when he recorded a goal or an assist in every match he played. Walsh went on to record a goal or an assist in eight of his fi rst nine matches and 10 of 16 throughout the season.

He fi nished the season as the team leader in goals (10), assists (7), points (27), shots (53) and

shots on goal (28). Walsh also placed himself among the national leaders in points-per-game (16th, 1.69) and goals-per-game (22nd, 0.63) while leading the nation’s 23rd-best scoring offense (1.89 goals per game).

One and Done —The Tigers graduated just one senior in 2006, but it still won’t be easy to replace a defender like Jamie Gilbert. Gilbert played at Vanderbilt for three years, but joined the Tigers after the Commodores dropped their men’s soccer program following the 2005 season. Gilbert led Memphis defenders with three goals, including two game winners.

Gilbert served as team captain in his only year with the squad and provided much-needed leadership for a starting defensive crew that included two freshmen (goalkeeper Michael Goodlett and defender Rick Alleman) and two sophomores (defenders Thomas Hyland and Robert Sausaman).

Unphazed Freshmen—Even facing the gradua-tion of Jamie Gilbert, the Tigers’ hopes remain high for 2007, thanks in part to a strong corps of freshmen who saw extensive time in 2006. Goalkeeper Michael Goodlett made 12 starts and made 42 saves to post a 1.42 goals-against average. Forward Brian Farrell started every match and fi nished tied for third on the team with four goals. Defender Rick Alleman stepped in for injured junior Michael Coburn and started all 18 games, and midfi elder Wade Wonderlin picked up three assists and two starts in 17 games as one of the fi rst subs off the bench.

Irish Brigade—Once again, the Tigers saw numerous contributions from their Celtic players in 2006. Kevin Walsh, a native of Shrule, Ireland, fi nished among the national leaders in points-per-game (16th, 1.69) and goals-per-game (22nd, 0.63). Sophomore midfi elder Shaun Goulding, a native of Arbroath, Scotland, fi nished third on the team in goals (4) and points (11). Brian Farrell, a Dunboyne, Ireland, native, tied Goulding for third on the team in goals (4) and fi nished tied for fourth in points (10), and Dublin native Thomas Hyland started all 18 games and helped lead the Tigers to three shutouts.

Road Warriors—With wins at Louisville, Belmont,

Air Force and Denver, the Tigers picked up victories in four consecutive road games, tying a school record last set during the conference championship campaign of 2004 when the Tigers fi nished the regular season with wins at East Carolina and Lipscomb, then picked victories over UAB and South Carolina at the C-USA Tournament in Louisville.

Always Closing—This Memphis squad proved to be when striking fi rst. The Tigers won eight of nine matches in 2006 in which they scored fi rst. Memphis was able to capitalize on early leads against Cal State Fullerton, UMKC, Central Arkansas, Air Force, Denver, Tulsa, UAB and Marshall. The Tigers’ only loss in such a game came in the fi rst round of the C-USA Tournament where, they relinquished a 1-0 lead to Kentucky.

Three’s Company—The Tigers’ high-powered offense recorded two hat tricks in 2006. Tripp Harkins picked up the fi rst one of the year in the Tigers’ 6-2 win over UMKC. Kevin Walsh matched the feat in the season’s fi nal home game by providing all the offense in a 3-0 win over Marshall. Prior to this season, the program had not had a player score three times in a game since Andy Metcalf picked up a hat trick against Lipscomb in 2004.

Fan-Tastic—The 2006 season was a record-setting year at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. The Tigers drew 3,746 fans to the home park, beating the previous mark of 3,066 set in 2003. The team also set a new single-game attendance mark by drawing 923 fans on Sept. 1 for a Friday night game vs. Clemson. On Oct. 21, the team recorded 823 fans for a Saturday afternoon game vs. SMU. Both marks surpassed the previous single-game attendance record of 739 set on Sept. 13, 2005 when the Tigers hosted Alabama A&M.

LADY TIGER SOCCERLADY TIGER SOCCER University of Memphis

The Lady Tigers keep 16 of 28 letterwinners from the 2006 campaign. Memphis will see a lot of youth on the fi eld as they return six sophomores and welcome 14 freshmen, as they all look to gain experience and playing time this upcoming fall.

“Our goal this season is to win Conference USA and advance to the NCAA Tournament. We are looking to win the conference this year,” said Monaghan. “We will be going to the bench a lot this season with the addition of a very talented freshman group. We do not have a lot of weak-nesses in our group with our returning lineup. Our biggest strength is the depth that we have.”

F O R W A R D S“The 4-3-3 is the system that we play. It is what

we recruited for,” said Monaghan. “We want our opponents to adapt to us. At the same time, we still want to be able to be versatile in the system

we play.”Junior Kylie Hayes will be the only returning for-

ward that played in all 20 games last season, start-ing 15. She leads the returning players in goals with 12 and assists with fi ve. If her fi rst two years at Memphis are a sign of what she can do, the Lady Tigers will be in good shape come confer-ence tournament time. She will be a key player in the Lady Tiger offense.

“We will be looking for Kylie Hayes to lead our offense. She’s had two tremendous seasons and has scored a lot of goals. Now that Shoko is gone she will emerge as the go to player,” said Monaghan. “Kylie is very excited to put the team on her shoulders. She will not have an experi-enced counterpart like the previous years, but she is ready.”

Senior Harumi Someya played well in her fi rst year with the team and will be an important part of the offense, while sophomore Victoria Dalton will look to contribute also.

“Harumi is a very talented player who had a good spring, and Dalton, who moved from mid-fi eld to up top, also had an incredible spring,” said Monaghan.

Memphis brings in six newcomers in Ashley Berra, Aly Hancock, Anna Laskarzewska, Melissa Smith, Vendula Strnadova and Krista Turner, with all looking to make an immediate impact.

“We had several players who will come in and

The Lady Tigers will compete against three NCAA Tourna-ment teams in the 2007 season. A look at the NCAA teams with their 2006 record.

After advancing to the Conference USA semi-fi nals in 2006, head coach Brooks Monaghan and the Lady Tigers are ready to make a deep impact in the upcoming 2007 fall season. Mem-phis had another double digit win season in 2006 and hopes to go deeper in the C-USA Tournament this year. With 14 newcomers, Monaghan hopes that they will have another winning season.

compete up top for us,” said Monaghan.The Lady Tigers will be deep up front and they

hope that will help in a run for the C-USA title.

M I D F I E L D E R SThe midfi eld will see leadership from 2006

Conference USA Newcomer of the Year, Maiko Higashiyama. Higashiyama started 15 of the 18 games in which she played last season, scoring six goals and one assist.

“Maiko had an average fi rst half of the season and really came on during conference play. She struggled a little bit this spring but we hope she gets back on track,” said Monaghan. “The players around her are very talented also, and as a whole we will be very deep in that area of the fi eld. The midfi elders will play a huge role in the amount of success that we have this season.”

Junior Emiko Schwab played in every match in the 2006 season, offering an impressive appear-ance in the midfi eld. Look for her to be more of an offensive threat this upcoming season. Sopho-mores Laura Laufenberg and Brittany Baldwin round out the returnees that will dominate the middle.

“I have a lot of confi dence in our midfi eld play-ers. Emiko Schwab, Laura Laufenberg and Brit-tany Baldwin are all very talented and are the type of players you want in the midfi eld. We have some very good incoming players to support the group,” said Monaghan.

Newcomers Brittany Hance, Amanda Olszewski and Katie Sabet will join the midfi eld squad. Look for one of these freshmen to have a breakthrough season for the Lady Tigers.

D E F E N D E R SJunior Kate Murphy will take on a huge leader-

ship role as she leads the defense in 2007. Last season, Murphy played a critical role on defense as she played in 19 matches starting 17.

“Kate was our most consistent player in the back last season. She is a natural leader, a rock back there, and leads by example. She’s every coach’s’ dream. She comes out, works hard every single day and gives you a consistent performance when she steps on the fi eld.”

Murphy will be joined by seniors Elaine Sedge-wick, Caroline Barrett and Halley Jo Sullivan, junior Maggie Leone and sophomores Roma Rozanska, Lia Fannin, and Eliza Wellford, all of whom will all be competing for playing time this upcoming sea-son.

“We’re excited about moving Eliza to the back. She gave us some quality minutes up top last year and did very well. We moved her back to defense, and with the amount of speed that she brings to the position, we feel that she’s going to compete as an outside back from the get-go,” said Monaghan. “We’re excited with her move from up front to the back and feel that position best suits her and our team.”

The Lady Tigers will add four newcomers to the backfi eld with freshmen Kelsey Bakker, Tarah Kerr, Stacey Radcliffe and Laurel Shute all looking to play integral parts on defense.

“Caroline Barrett and Halley Jo Sullivan are veterans that have played tons of minutes for us. Roma Rozanska is quickly recovering from a torn ACL injury so we will have to wait and see on how she recovers. Depending on her recovery time, you may see a freshman starting in the back for us. I’m 100 percent comfortable with the players coming in and we know they can do the job,” said Monaghan.

G O A L K E E P E R SSenior goalkeeper Isabel Briones returns in her

fi nal year to defend the net. Briones started in all 20 games in the 2006 season, posting a remark-able eight shutouts. With newcomer Elise Kuhar-Pitters joining the squad, the net should be in good hands.

“Isabel has been very good for us, and we have very high expectations for her to continue the suc-cess that she has had over the years. Elise is an excellent goalkeeper who will push Isabel for play-ing time. There are no guaranteed spots; the best players will play.”

S C H E D U L EIn 2007, the Lady Tigers will face some fi erce

foes on the slate competing with three NCAA Tour-nament teams and fi ve home matches against Conference USA. Memphis starts the preseason with matches against Auburn and Western Ken-tucky. They travel to Alabama for the Samford Bulldog Classic to go up against LSU and Sam-ford. After that, the Lady Tigers return to Alabama to play against the Crimson Tide, before returning home for four-straight games against non-confer-ence opponents UT-Martin, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri State.

Memphis will open up Conference USA play with a home opener at Mike Rose Stadium on Oct. 5 against arch-rival UAB. The Lady Tigers then will travel to the Lone Star state to compete against Houston and Rice on Oct. 12 and Oct.14. They re-turn home on Oct. 19 for a four-game stint against Tulsa, SMU, Southern Miss and UCF. Memphis will conclude the regular season on the road with a game at Marshall on Nov. 2, and then two days later, closing out its season in Greenville, N.C., at East Carolina.

Monaghan took the reins of the program in 2000 after serving for fi ve years as an assistant coach for his predecessor, Les Szabo. Despite taking over a diffi cult situation, Monaghan has been able to turn the Lady Tiger soccer program into a success. Over the past three seasons, Monaghan has produced the most successful campaigns in program history, winning 11 matches in 2004 and 2006 and 12 contests in 2005. Those years repre-sent the fi rst time Memphis women’s soccer has ever posted consecutive winning records. Last season, the Lady Tigers ended the year with their highest-ever Conference USA fi nish and won their fi rst C-USA Tournament match in nine years. Memphis reached the semifi nals of the con-ference tournament for the fi rst time in program history. In 2005, Monaghan became the longest tenured women’s soccer coach in school history. Just the program’s second coach, Monaghan sur-passed Szabo in 2004 as Memphis’ all-time win-ningest coach with his 35th career win. Another indicator of Monaghan’s success as a coach has been the numerous accolades award-ed to his players. In seven seasons, he has had 18 players receive All-Conference USA honors, in-cluding seven fi rst team recipients. In 2005, Shoko Mikami was named the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, making her the fi rst Lady Tiger to receive a conference MVP award. The Lady Tiger program has also fl ourished off the fi eld during Monaghan’s tenure. Since 2000, the team has never posted a composite

grade-point average below 3.0. In the spring of 2007, 15 players fi nished the semester with a GPA above 3.0. Three Lady Tigers also made the Tiger Academic 30 for having three of the top 30 GPAs of all student-athletes, and two of those players posted a perfect 4.0. “The most important thing we can do as coaches is try to prepare young people for success later in life,” Monaghan said. “Soccer is important to me, and I want to win. However, the foundation of our program is the student-athlete.” When Monaghan took over the program, he was already familiar with the demands of running a successful college soccer program, having en-joyed tremendous success during his playing ca-reer at Memphis. The former goalkeeper still holds school records for single-season shutouts (11) and career shutouts (24). He is second to Lady Tiger assistant coach Sebastian Vecchio in career goals-against average (1.40) and single-season goals-against average (0.80). His 298 career saves rank second all-time. He was named fi rst team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992 after helping lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title. In 1993, he was the Defensive MVP of the league’s championship game, helping the Tigers to their fi rst ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His 38 wins at goalkeeper still stand as the school record. “Making the NCAA Tournament was such a great time for me as a player,” Monaghan said. “That is the standard that I want to reach as a coach and that I want my players to strive for.” “To be a part of Memphis from so many differ-

Brooks Monaghan has been a part of the University of Memphis women’s soccer program since its inception in 1995 and has played a major role in its rise over the

last seven seasons. Now, entering his eighth year as a head coach, Monaghan has not only maintained the Lady Tiger program, but has substantially raised the bar of success.

ent angles - fi rst as a player, then as an assistant and now as a head coach - has been wonderful. I grew up here, and I’ve always loved the city and the school. Now I get to be a part of building a win-ning program at my alma mater and that’s a dream come true.” A former prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan’s collegiate play helped earn him a spot on the U.S. U-20 Na-tional Squad. Monaghan also played profession-ally, spending two seasons with the New Orleans Gamblers from 1995-96 and tone with the Mem-phis Express in 2002. A Memphis native, Monaghan received a bach-elor’s degree in business management from Mem-phis in 1994. He is single and resides in Memphis.

Keeping an assistant coach with the talent of Jodi Grant is almost impossible, but Mem-phis has been fortunate enough to have

Grant as a part of the women’s soccer program since its inception. “This program would not be where it is without Jodi,” Monaghan said. “I look at her as a co-head coach. Jodi is irreplaceable, and she deserves as much credit as I do for our success.” A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Grant is entering her seventh season as a full-time assistant coach with the Lady Tigers. Prior to that, she served as a graduate assistant coach for one season and as a volunteer assistant coach for a year. Grant fi rst came to the University of Memphis as a player on the inaugural Lady Tiger squad in 1995. She played four seasons, and in 79 career games, compiled school records still standing to-day. Grant holds the Memphis record for career goals (33), points (92) and shots (178). She also is the co-holder of the record for most assists in a game (4) and is second all-time in school history in assists in a season (11) and career (26). A third team All-Conference USA selection as a junior in 1997, Grant was also named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 1995.

At the conclusion of her playing days, Grant spent one year as a volunteer assistant coach in 1999 and another as a graduate assistant coach in 2000, helping the program in the transition from former head coach Les Szabo to Monaghan. She was named a full-time assistant coach prior to the 2001 season. In addition to helping Monaghan with on-fi eld coaching duties and recruiting, Grant has also played an instrumental part in the Lady Tigers’ success in the classroom. The last three seasons, Memphis was the recipient of the women’s soccer team academic award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and this spring had 15 players fi nish with a grade-point average above 3.0. The Lady Tigers also had three players garner individual academic awards in 2006. “Jodi is a great tactician on the fi eld, but she’s just as good in teaching the kids off the fi eld,” Monaghan said. “She is great role model for all of the players and really understands where they are coming from.” Grant earned her undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science from Memphis in 1999 and also earned a master’s degree in student per-sonnel services from the university in 2002. For-merly Jodi Fisher, she married Memphis men’s soccer head coach Richie Grant in May 2006.

After completing his playing career with the Memphis men’s soccer team in 2004, Sebastian Vecchio stepped over into the

coaching ranks with the women’s program, joining the Lady Tigers as an assistant coach in charge of goalkeepers. In 2005, his fi rst season with the women’s team, Vecchio helped mold sophomore goalkeep-er Isabel Briones into one of Conference USA’s best netminders. Under Vecchio’s tutelage, Brio-nes has been named the Conference USA Defen-sive Player of the Week three times. Vecchio experienced the same success in 2006, as Briones set a school record for shutouts in a single season. “Sebastian was a great addition to our staff,” said head coach Brooks Monaghan. “He has helped Isabel Briones take her game to the next

level. He’s a great coach in terms of teaching and fundamentals.” As a player, Vecchio was a two-year starter for the Tigers after transferring to Memphis from NAIA Mid-Continent College in Kentucky. He al-lowed just 12 goals in over 1,500 minutes of play during the 2004 season for a 0.69 goals-against average en route to being named the Confer-ence USA Defensive Player of the Year and an All-C-USA fi rst teamer. The native of Buenos Ai-res, Argentina, ended his Tiger career with a 1.02 career goals-against average and 21 wins in two seasons. Prior to his collegiate playing days, Vecchio played with the Argentina U-16 National Team. Vecchio earned his bachelor’s degree in mar-keting from Memphis in 2005. He is single and re-sides in Memphis.

The Lady Tigers went 5-2-3 in the spring season, with their only losses coming 3-1 against Indiana and 3-1 against Oklahoma State, which ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 2007 and was an NCAA Tournament partici-pant. Memphis tied NCAA Tournament partici-pant Vanderbilt 0-0. The Lady Tigers topped the Irish Prep school, Colaiste Ide, in an exhi-bition, winning by a decisive 7-1 margin, and rolled to a 7-2 victory over West Florida. “Overall, I thought that we had a good spring season. There was a little bit of inconsistency due to the youth of our team and lack of lead-ership. We graduated a few of our leaders, so it took time for the underclassmen to step up. We had good competition this spring sea-son and the players worked hard,” said coach Brooks Monaghan. Despite the loss of senior forward Shoko Mikami, Memphis showed great hope for the upcoming fall season. The Lady Tigers were resourceful in their offensive attacks as nine different players scored goals in the spring season. Senior Harumi Someya and junior Kylie Hayes led the attack as Memphis

scored 30 goals, while holding their competi-tors to less than half of that total. Last season, Memphis won its fi rst Confer-ence USA Tournament game in nine years, defeating East Carolina 2-1 in double over-time to take home the win. The Lady Tigers fell short in the second round 4-2 to UAB in a penalty-kick shootout. Memphis’ record on the year was 11-6-3, the second-most wins in program history and tying the team’s total from 2004. With a new season approaching, the Lady Tigers look to go deeper into the conference tournament and increase their win total “Last fall was a good season,” said Monaghan. “Losing a game in a shootout is never good; it was a little disappointing. At the end of the day it was the best fi nish for the women’s soc-cer program in history, fi nishing third. We are making great progress. Another year with the group of players we have returning will put us right on the path we need to be.”

“This was a season that will probably raise ex-pectations for our program from here on,” said Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan. “We were able to go to the conference tournament and pick up a big win. Now our goals for next year will be even higher.” The Lady Tigers were stellar on both ends of the fi eld. Memphis registered 48 goals on the season, with Mikami and sophomore Kylie Hayes each scoring 12. Defensively, the Lady Tigers post-

ed team records with eight shutouts and a 1.07 goals-against average. Sophomore Kate Murphy was named second team All-Conference USA as a defender. Memphis opened the season with expectations at an all-time high, and Soccer Buzz Magazine ranked the Lady Tigers 13th in the Central Region in its preseason poll. Monaghan’s squad looked as good as advertised in its opening weekend with an offensive explosion during a two-game road trip at Tennessee Tech and UT Martin. The Lady Tigers cruised to easy 8-0 and 7-0 wins, respec-tively. Mikami scored hat tricks in both matches, fi nishing the weekend with 13 points while Hayes scored fi ve goals and ended the weekend with 11 points. Despite the opening weekend fi reworks, the Memphis offense sputtered through much of the non-conference schedule. Despite out-shoot-ing almost every opponent and creating multiple chances in most of their matches, the Lady Tigers were unlucky and unable to fi nd the back of the net in several contests. Memphis dropped a pair of heartbreaking matches in the 2006 Nike Lady Ti-ger Fall Invitational, falling 2-0 to an Alabama team that it out shot 21–7 and losing 1-0 to a talented Samford squad. The Lady Tigers battled back to split an SEC road trip the next weekend, beating Mississippi State 2-0 before falling 3-0 to Ole Miss. Memphis picked up its fi rst home win of the sea-son, blanking a 2006 NCAA Tournament South East Missouri State team 2-0 at the Mike Rose

Soccer Complex. After another tough loss to Ar-kansas, the Lady Tigers fought Missouri State to a 0-0 tie to take a 4-4-2 record into conference play. “We played a tough non-conference schedule, and we struggled to fi nd the goal in some of those matches,” Monaghan said. “I think we took some knocks that really prepared us for the conference season. We never questioned what we were ca-pable of, and I was proud of the team for the way they responded once we got to conference play.” It was during the conference schedule that the Lady Tigers came together. Following a 1-1 tie with East Carolina, Memphis exploded on Marshall to the tune of eight goals. That set the stage for the Lady Tigers to go on a three-match winning steak that included an impressive road win against UCF and a 4-0 drubbing of Southern Miss. After dropping consecutive road matches against two of the league’s top teams in Colorado College and UTEP, Memphis fought back once again to win its fi nal three matches and take the No. 3 seed heading into the C-USA Tournament. In the fi rst round of the conference tournament, the Lady Tigers faced the same East Carolina squad they tied to open the C-USA season. The rematch showed just how even the two squads were. After an early goal by ECU, Memphis for-ward Geneil Newbern scored to tie the match at 1-1. The teams stayed even until double overtime, when Halley Jo Sullivan found Hayes in the box to give Memphis its fi rst conference tournament win under Monaghan. The Lady Tigers came precari-ously close to making their fi rst-ever conference championship match, but fell to eventual tourna-ment champion UAB 4-3 on penalty kicks in the semifi nals. “I’m very pleased overall with the way the season went,” Monaghan said. “It’s a little disappointing because we were so close to the NCAA Tourna-ment. As a whole, I think it was step in the right direction and gives us something to build for next year.”

The 2006 Memphis women’s soccer season will likely go down as a stamp of validation on the growth of the program. Led again by senior forward Shoko Mikami, the Lady Tigers posted an 11-6-3 record and went 6-2-1 in

Conference USA, finishing with double-digit wins for a third-straight season and earning their highest-ever finish in conference play. Memphis picked up its first C-USA Tournament win in nine years with a thrilling 2-1 double overtime victory against East Carolina.

S A Y I N G G O O D B Y E Memphis said goodbye to four seniors in 2006. Nicky McLeod and midfi elder Melissa Savage ended their careers among the most active play-ers in school history, playing in 74 and 76 matches, respectively during their careers. Geneil Newbern was only with the Lady Tigers for one season, but dazzled fans with her athleticism and ball handling skills. The Georgia transfer fi nished the season third on the team in goals (7) and points (16). “Each one of our seniors were here for a different amount of time, but all of them have contributed tremendously to the program,” Monaghan said. “Melissa and Nicky both provided phenomenal leadership, and Geneil, even though she was only here for one season, was able to do a lot things to help us be successful this year.”

L E A V I N G H E R M A R K After earning the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year award in her fi rst full year with the Lady Tigers in 2005, Shoko Mikami proved that she was among not only the best in C-USA, but

also the nation in 2006. After a stunning opening weekend that saw her score six goals and total 13 points, Mikami was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in her career. More impressively, the senior was named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Fox Soccer Channel Female Player of the Week. The Chiba, Japan, native was also named to the Soccer Buzz and Soccer America National Teams of the Week. Mikami ended the season with 12 goals, eight assists and 32 points. She led C-USA in points during the regular season for a second-straight year, was second in goals and third in assists. She was named fi rst team All-Conference USA and fi n-ished her career with 28 goals, 21 assists and 77 points, placing her second in goals and points and third in assists on the Memphis career lists. “It’s tough to even explain what Shoko has done for our program both on and off the fi eld,” Monaghan said. “She’s absolutely irreplaceable, and her talent and unselfi shness are hard to fi nd.”

O N H E R W A Y With two years remaining in her Lady Tiger ca-reer, forward Kylie Hayes is on pace to smash sev-eral of Memphis’ offensive records. Hayes scored fi ve goals and notched an assist in the fi rst two matches of 2006 and ended the season with 12 goals, six assists and 30 points. The Piqua, Ohio, native now ranks third on the career goals (26) list and fourth on the points list (63). She needs just seven goals and 36 points to pass assistant coach Jodi Grant for the all-time lead in both categories.

LITTLE MAIKO MAKES A BIG SPLASH At just fi ve-feet tall, Maiko Higashiyama was cer-tainly not the Lady Tigers most intimidating player, but the sophomore transfer showed blinding quick-ness and became one of the team’s top offensive threats in conference play. Higashiyama scored all six of her goals in C-USA matches - including game-winning goals against Marshall, Rice and Houston - en route to the league’s Newcomer of the Year award. The Japan native became the fi rst Lady Tiger to ever receive the award.

B R I O N E S M O V E S U P L I S T S With a 3-0 win over Houston, Lady Tiger goal-keeper Isabel Briones moved to No. 1 on Memphis

career shutout list, passing Katrina Wicksell for the top spot. Briones is also third on the career saves list with 184 stops. Briones picked up the 22nd win of career in the Lady Tigers’ regular season-ending win against UAB. The win made Briones the all-time winningest keeper in program history. She was also named as a Conference Defensive Player of the Week following a pair of shutouts in Memphis’ fi rst two matches.

A C A D E M I C E X C E L L E N C E Throughout Monaghan’s tenure the Lady Ti-gers have been one of the leading programs on campus academically. In 2006, Memphis players received numerous honors for their scholastic achievements. Shoko Mikami added to her plethora of awards by becoming the fi rst Lady Tiger to ever be named to a national academic team. The senior was named to the ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-Ameri-can second team and District IV fi rst team. In ad-dition, she was voted to the All-Conference USA Academic Team. Sophomore Kate Murphy also picked up a pair of academic honors. The defender was named C-USA Academic honorable mention as well as to the ESPN/CoSIDA District IV All-Academic sec-ond team. Senior Melissa Savage also received conference academic honorable mention honors.

R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 33 years in athletic administration and previously served as athletic director at Temple University, was named the Direc-tor of Athletics at the University of Memphis on December 29, 1995.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS • 65 • GOTIGERSGO.COM

R.C. JOHNSONR.C. JOHNSONATHLETIC DIRECTORATHLETIC DIRECTOR

IOWA, 1965IOWA, 1965 During his tenure, Johnson has created the Ath-letic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassa-dor’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 24 members under Johnson. A signifi cant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfi eld Sports, which would enable Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. In addition, the terms of the new agreement allow for options to con-tinue through the 2021-22 academic year. The Tigers signed on with Learfi eld Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue sig-nage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the offi cial athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a fi nancial guar-antee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. A believer in academic excellence as well as ath-letic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that ranks in the top 30 percent accord-ing to the latest APR announced in May 2007. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2006 and spring 2007, 295 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 grade point average and 28 students excelled with a 4.0 grade point average. Just this past spring, 10 teams logged a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher and the athletic department as a whole is represented by a 2.8 GPA. In May 2007, 39 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. And, under Johnson’s guidance, Mem-phis boasts an 89 percent graduation rate of all student-athletes who complete their eligibility at the U of M. Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was re-sponsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercol-

legiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) Univer-sity. He had also previously led the department at East-ern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bache-lor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical educa-tion from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Management Council. A veteran administrator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA

Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing University of Memphis Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 11-plus years, the dynamic administrator has structured one of the most successful coaching staffs in the history of Tiger athletics and continues to strive for athletic and academic excellence while recognizing the importance of building strong university and community ties. Since his arrival, Johnson has hired such high-profi le coaches as former Clemson head football coach Tommy West and former New Jersey Nets and UMass head basketball coach John Calipari. In addition, sev-eral of his most recent hires have garnered success in just a short period of time. Daron Schoenrock led the Tiger baseball team to the 2007 NCAA Regional Tournament for the fi rst time in 13 years this past sea-son, while women’s golf coach Jenny Bruun and track coach Kevin Robinson both earned C-USA Coach of the Year honors in 2007. Bruun’s Lady Tigers won the C-USA title this season, and Stacy Tate earned a berth in the NCAA Championships. Robinson, a former Tiger assistant who Johnson promoted to head coach over both track programs, led his squad to the 2007 C-USA men’s track championship and qualifi ed Gail Lee and Stefan Nerdal for the NCAA championship event. Johnson is currently spearheading his second ma-jor capital campaign which will benefi t nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Offi ce Building, the newly-completed softball complex, an ap-proaching redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium, a golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and a Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s fi rst capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball offi ce complex addition, a new basketball practice facility which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex.

Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. His involvement in the Memphis community includes serving on the Memphis and Shelby County Sports Authority, and he most recently was invited to serve on the Mayor’s Stadium Committee which is charged with evaluating the feasibility of a new football stadium. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children and fi ve grandchildren.

The state-of-the-art facility sits on 136.17 acres and houses 16 FIFA dimension fi elds equipped with Bermuda grass, superior playing surface complete with underground drainage, sprinkler systems and lighted playing fi elds. Accompanying

these fi elds are fully paved walkways, easily accessible parking, restrooms, covered pavilions, picnic and recreation areas and a three-acre lake. It is a defi nite asset to both the Tiger and Lady Tiger soc-cer programs. “The facility has helped us in recruiting some of the better players in the region to our program,” said head men’s coach Richie Grant. Participant facilities within the stadium structure include showers and locker rooms, a food court, corporate skybox, full media services, administrative offi ces and a conference room. “Being able to play at Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone, facility-wise,” said head women’s coach Brooks Monaghan. “There may be some facilities that are similar or close to Mike Rose, but I honestly don’t feel there are any better. As far as quality and atmosphere, Mike Rose is fi rst class.” Located in southeast Shelby County, just east of the Memphis city limits, the Mike Rose facility has established itself as one of the premier soccer facilities in the Mid-South. In 2003, the MRSC was the host site for the Ford Conference USA Tournament. “We feel like Mike Rose is one of the best college soccer facilities in the country,” Grant said. “The quality of the surface makes for entertaining soccer every night.”

In 2007, the Memphis Tigers will bring an exciting style of soccer to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex (MRSC). It will mark the seventh season that the MRSC has served as the home of Tiger soccer.

From the University of Memphis campus, head south on Getwell Road for two miles. Take I-240 East via the ramp on the left and continue east for two and a half miles. Merge onto the Bill Mor-ris Parkway/TN-385 East via exit No. 16 and con-tinue east for approximately 8.4 miles. Then take the Forest Hill-Irene Road exit heading south for half a mile. Turn right onto East Shelby Drive and enter the Mike Rose Soccer Complex parking lot on your right at 9000 East Shelby Drive.

Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Stark oversees all workouts at the Park Avenue Campus. He is aided by graduate assistants Jason Hartman, Chad Smith, Josh Medlin and volunteer assistant Ken Roach. The Tiger football, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball and track teams work out with Stark and his staff. A former U of M football player, Stark has worked with over 40 NFL players, including the Carolina Panthers’ DeAngelo Williams, the New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski, the New York Giants’ Marcus Bell and Michael Stone, the Detroit Lions’ Idrees Bashir and the St. Louis Rams’ All-Pro receiver Isaac Bruce. In addition to the Park Avenue Campus weight room, there is a weight facil-ity in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse that was refurbished in the spring of 2005. That weight room benefi ts women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, cross country, women’s golf and softball. Assistant Strength Coach Lee Yerty is responsible for all workouts in the Fieldhouse. He is assisted by graduate assistant Jake Fitts. The men’s basketball team utilizes a weight room that is located in its prac-tice facility, the Larry O. Finch Center. Assistant Strength Coach Richard Hogans is charged with the workouts of Tiger basketball, as well as the men’s tennis and men’s golf teams. With three state-of-the-art facilities located around campus, the U of M Strength and Conditioning staff is well-equipped to handle the training needs of Tiger Athletes.

The 10,500-square-foot varsity weight room is equipped with rugged, versatile hardware so that groups of up to 75 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimal effec-tiveness and effi ciency.

WEIGHT ROOMWEIGHT ROOMHIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS

Workouts are designed and supervised by one or more of the Strength and Conditioning staff’s certifi ed specialists, and each student-athlete’s individual progress is projected via a computerized database.

The Tiger Power philosophy couples functional, multi-joint movements with fundamental principles: exercise tech-niques are simplifi ed and performed on an alternating heavy/explosive basis in order to maximize training effects while minimizing teaching and training time (as well as fa-tigue). Performance based fi tness and work quality are the bottom-line objective.

The weight room’s equipment upgrade plan refl ects this philosophy and includes: 10 self-contained Olympic plat-forms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds, glute/ham stations, cable stations and other supplemental pieces allowing student-athletes to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements.

The modern and spacious facility is also equipped with dressing/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is main-tained at a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long-range Tiger Power programs, stu-dent-athletes are assigned to respective developmental levels based on individual ability and training history. For example, newcomers begin with an extensive volume of “foundational” or generalized movements and progress to-ward more intensive and specialized exercises with each successive phase.

The Tigers’ Park Avenue Campus Strength and Conditioning facility is located next to the remodeled indoor turf room in the Billy J. Murphy Athletic Complex. Opened in January 1993, the facility serves each of the University’s intercollegiate sports programs.

The actual workout menu may remain fairly constant over a student-athletes four- or fi ve-year sport career; however, broad variations in workload combine the program’s sim-plicity with a measure of sophistication.

The services include orientation pro-grams, tutoring, mentoring, academic coun-seling, study hall and academic advising. In March 2002, vast improvements were beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time, Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff af-ter spending the previous 10 years at Austin Peay State. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally

recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the offi ce from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20-30 tutors, an academic in-tern, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an offi ce as it provides academic services to all student-ath-letes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance. Assistant director Kelley Bickham, who was hired May 2007, was brought in specifi cally to handle NCAA, conference and institutional compli-ance matters associated with prospective and cur-rent student-athletes. The fi ve academic counsel-ors are assigned to specifi c sports working closely with those student-athletes and coaching staffs. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the stu-dent-athletes to collaboratively enhance the aca-demic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last fi ve academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Schol-arship and Academic All-America. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wild-er Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admis-sions, the bursar, fi nancial aid, the registrar, stu-

dent development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh fl oors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 21 student computer stations, 17 offi ces and numer-ous study tables. Inspired by Dr. Luckey, two special sections of ACAD 1100, Introduction to the University, were offered to student-athletes only. The class was so well received that a third section was of-fered in 2003 so that all freshman student-ath-letes could be included in the course. Students who participated in the class earned an average

of 15.2 credit hours and an average GPA of 3.25. Three academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top stu-dent-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes stu-dent-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 stu-dent-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The fi nal honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester.

Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would ex-pect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis is in the midst of a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which is transforming the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects has been the construc-tion of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds,

the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedEx-Forum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service res-taurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the fi rst blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands fi lled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the en-tertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music of-fered in the various nightclubs. From B.B. King’s to the Daisy Theatre, from Silky O’Sullivan’s to

the Hard Rock Café, from Pat O’Briens to the Rum Boogie Café, Beale Street has something to offer for everyone. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May

International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and En-tertainment Center which opened

in 2002. The 300,000-square-foot retail complex offers visitors a one-stop-shop for fun and excitement with a unique mix of entertainment, dining and shopping options unlike anything else in the region. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExFo-rum, which includes artifacts docu-menting music’s past.

TIGER TRADITIONSA PROUD HISTORYA PROUD HISTORY

WHY TIGERS? When the University of Memphis fi rst fi elded a foot-ball team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nick-name for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the fi nal game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fi ght like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and down-town newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it fi nally adopted as the of-fi cial nickname for the University of Memphis.

A BENGAL FOR A MASCOT For over 30 years, the sideline mascot for The University of Memphis has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the current Tiger mascot, attends all Tiger football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year as a powerful and majestic symbol of Tigers Athletics. TOM II travels in style in a custom-designed, climate-controlled trailer, always with police escort. The fi rst Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. TOM came to the university on November 9, 1972, when the tiger cub was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, Ind., and put on a Memphis-bound fl ight via Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. He arrived in Memphis at 3:00 a.m., and C. Cleveland Drennon, President of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for $1,500 to purchase the animal. That morning, TOM was taken to Athletic Director Billy Murphy’s offi ce for a press conference. The Highland Hundred offi cially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti, including colorful monikers like Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny Shiloh, and even Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. During his fi rst few months in Memphis, TOM was housed by Highland Hundred member Bill Proctor in his garage, which the Club had redecorated, and was closely guarded by Proctor’s hound dog. As TOM grew older, the decision was made by the Highland Hundred to keep the Tiger Tradition alive by securing a new Tiger to be raised as TOM II. In the fall of 1991, Highland Hundred President Ray Daniels and President-Elect Bobby Wharton received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. In 2005, TOM II moved to a new habitat in a rural area just south of Memphis on land offered by long-time Tiger fans Jeff and Mary Kuntz. The new facility was designed as a virtual copy of the original facility in Collierville, but includes many upgrades that improve TOM’s comfort and safety. As one of only two universities in America with a live Tiger mascot, the University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition.

SCHOOL COLORS The University of Memphis’ offi cial school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

THE LOGO The University of Memphis’ offi cial logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leap-ing tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”
