2002 Season Outlook

The 2002 men's soccer team is looking to build upon the valuableexperience their young players gained throughout the 2001 seasonas they gather themselves to strive for a birth in the Conference-USA Tournament. This year's squad will feature 13 returninglettermen, including four starters that will be mixed along with 14newcomers to the Memphis campus.

ForwardsThe offense, which ranked second in C-USA by averaging 7.2 pointsand 2.4 goals a game in 2001, will have to reload this season after

the departure of Sean Fraser andLars Thorstensen, who ac-counted for 52 percent of the Ti-gers'scoring last fall. SophomoreMatt Bryant is back after a stel-lar rookie campaign in which hefinished third on the team in totalpoints (17), goals (6), and fourthin assists (5). Also returning andjoining Bryant up front are fellowsophomores Reid Greenslade,who made seven starts in 16games last fall and John Reilly,who totaled six points on twogoals and two assists as a rookie,

Matt Bryant and will split time between for-ward and midfield this year. Join-ing the sophomores are fresh-

men Daniel Ronan, another Colaiste Ide alum, Omar Jarun, a mem-ber of the Atlanta Lighting club team, and the explosive Andy Metcalf,who set a Tennessee state single season high school record with 65goals last year.

MidfieldersThe midfielders will be led by the experience of senior Kirk Ricketts,who has played in over 40 career matches for the Tigers. CoachGrant expects the team will have a successful season, with a solidimpact from Ricketts, who will improve by pacing himself and usinghis natural ability. Also expected to help guide the middle for Mem-phis is junior Dusty Brezovsky, whonotched an assist along with fivestarts last fall, and sophomores Pe-ter Cummings and Justin Dyer. Dur-ing their freshmen seasons,Cummings made eight starts and ap-peared in all 10 C-USA matches,while Dyer notched 16 starts andscored a goal. Another returningletterwinner back is sophomoreDaniel Dobson, who appeared in 11matches as a freshman and will seetime at left midfield as well as a de-fender.

New to the Tiger midfield in 2002 aresenior Ronnie Nillson, a transfer from Kirk RickettsCoach Grant's alma mater GreenMountain College (Vt.) and a stable of talented freshmen that in-clude Graig Barnwell, Scott Murrell, Phillip Presely, and local standoutDayton O'Brien, who can play any position in the midfield


DefendersFor the defense, Memphis will lookto the experience of senior ChrisSchmidt and junior Graham Gibbs.Schmidt, served as captain of thedefense last year and has playedin 39 career games, making 23starts, while Gibbs has started 31of 32 career matches and will be akey component to the Tigers' ac-complishments in 2002. The de-fense will also look to the seniorleadership and upperclassman ex-perience of Darren Bevard this fall.Also back to help anchor the de-fense is sophomore Jake German,who appeared in 12 games, mak-ing six starts last season.

Graham Gibbs

The defense will also be bolstered by a strong recruiting class thatincludes Gary Connolly, of Colaiste Ide, J.R. Willimans, and local prod-uct, J.R. Thomas.

GoalkeepersLast season junior Clark Talley, suffered through a preseason footinjury that caused him to miss the Tigers' first seven games of theseason. Talley's importance was quickly shown as the team stumbledto a 1-4-2 start without him, but notched wins in three of his first fivegames back in the line up. Overall Talley was in goal for four of the sixMemphis wins last season. He is healthy after playing with the Mem-phis Express PDL Team this summer, and once again ready to pro-vide the Tigers with his leadership this fall. This year Talley will bejoined between the posts by a trio of skillful freshmen, Brian Baytos,Chris Post, and Simon Postma, who are all eager to step in and makethe position highly competitive.

ScheduleMemphis will once again be competing against a tough and competi-tive schedule in one of the nation's top conferences. Coach Grantalso has the team facing established programs from around the coun-try as it gives them a chance to see where they are on a nationalscale.

The Tigers will begin their 2002 season at home against fellow C-USAmember, TCU on August 31. The annual Memphis Diadora Tourna-ment will run September 6-7 with the team facing the likes of SanFrancisco and Northeastern. A non-conference match againstLipscomb on September 11 will begin a stretch of nine straight roadgames over the next month that includes four league contests andnon-league games at Stetson, Western Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and UNC-Wilmington. When the Tigers finally return home to action at theMike Rose Soccer Complex on October 19 they have a rematch againstC-USA rival Louisville, awaiting them. Memphis will then play fourmore matches at home against conference foes UAB, Marquette, SaintLouis, and against Belmont at Echles Field before ending the regularseason at Charlotte on November 9. Saint Louis University will behosting the 2002 C-USA Men's Soccer Tournament on November 14-17.

The Tigers then ran into another speed bump in the preseason when Con-ference USA All-Freshman Team goalkeeper, Clark Talley suffered a footinjury, forcing him to miss the first seven games of the season. WithoutTalley the team struggled to a 1-4-2 start, but quickly rebounded to winthree of his first five games back.

The season began the first of September in Omaha, Nebraska with theDiadora Challenge on the campus of Creighton University. In the firstgame the Tigers played the number one nationally ranked host school to a0-0 tie after two scoreless overtime periods.

NCAA Tournamentqualifier, South Florida then handedthe Tigers a 5-2 defeat at home de-spite two goals from Fraser and twoassists from Thorstensen.

2000-PRESENT

BROOKS MONAGHANMamas, 1994

COACHING BACKGROUND* Third year as U of M Head Coach* Lady Tigers Goalkeepers' Coach (1996-99)

PLAYING EXPERIENCE'UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE 1991* University of Memphis 1992-94•Memphis Express 2002* New Orleans Gamblers (USISL) 1995-96

HONORS AND ACCOLADES* Member of U-20 U.S. National Team (1992-94)* Soccer America National Player of the Week, 11-3-93* GMC Tournament Defensive MVP 1993* First Team AII-GMC, 1992* Posted U of M record 11 shutouts and 0.80 goals

against average in 1992* U of M All-Time leader in shutouts (24) and goals

against average (1.40)

Brooks Monaghan is not one to back down from a challenge. He didn'tsix years ago when he helped start the women's soccer program atMemphis from scratch as the goalkeepers' coach, and three yearsago when he was offered the head coaching position, the 29-year-oldcoach didn't flinch.

"I was excited and nervous at the same time," Monaghan said after heaccepted the post. "Going from goalkeeper coach to head coach is abig stepping stone. The program was very average at the time and Ifound that to be challenging. I always love a good challenge."

It would have been easy for Monaghan to give up on a fledgling pro-gram that had combined to win just 10 games the previous two sea-sons and notched just one conference win the year before he tookover, but instead the former U of M goalkeeper grabbed the reins andbegan to steer the Lady Tigers back on course.

In his first season, Monaghan guided the Lady Tigers to a nine-winseason and within one victory of a berth in the Conference USA Cham-pionship Tournament. The Lady Tigers' four-game improvement wasthe best in the program's brief six-year history.

As is the case with any team, an increase in victories leads to anincrease in expectations. But Monaghan's young Tigers sufferedthrough some growing pains in 2001 and saw the promise of an excit-ing season fall victim to nine one-goal losses and four others by just twogoals as they finished the campaign at 5-13-1.

"Even though our record doesn't show it, we played better in 2001 thanwe did in 2000 and I'm proud of that," Monaghan said. "We had a lot ofheartbreaking losses last season, but we'll learn from that and be abetter team because of it. These girls are still young and have a lot ofsoccer ahead of them here at Memphis."

With 10 newcomers on the squad, the 2001 season did have its brightspots and showed the Lady Tigers are on the brink of becoming a top-tier team in C-USA. The game that signified that the most was the LadyTigers' league finale thumping of South Florida. Memphis beat theBulls 3-0 and extracted revenge from a 7-0 loss at the hands of USF in2000. Another bright spot was the program's first-ever victory over


SEC-foe Ole Miss. The LadyTigers defeated the Rebels 1 -0 to snap a five-game winlessstreak against Ole Miss.

With two recruiting classes fullof talented players and a num-ber of dependable upperclass-men, Monaghan has the U ofM program back on track andheaded in the right direction.

"It takes time to build a pro-gram and get players adjustedto your style of coaching,"Monaghan said. "And I finallyfeel like we're getting there. Ihave two of my recruitingclasses in place and things arecoming together nicely for us."

Monaghan was an all-ConferenceGoalkeeper during his playing daysat the U of M.

Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger Head Coach, Monaghan served asthe primary goalkeeper's coach and was a vital part of the Memphiscoaching staff during the program's first four seasons. UnderMonaghan's guidance, the Lady Tigers' goals against average droppedfrom 2.74 in 1995 to 1.77 in 1999.

As a player, Monaghan enjoyed an impressive collegiate career. Afterspending his freshman year at Evansville, Monaghan transferred tothe U of M and helped lead the Tigers to a share of the conferencechampionship in 1992 and an outright title in 1993. As the Tiger goal-keeper, Monaghan posted a 0.80 goals against average to go with 11shutouts and was named First Team all-Great Midwest Conferenceas a junior. A prep standout at Christian Brothers High School in Mem-phis, Monaghan's college career earned him a spot on the U-20national squad.

Monaghan is hoping that the success he enjoyed as a player willcontinue as a coach.

Question and Answer with Coach Monaghan

"/ don't know how I can't be excited."Q. Looking back over your first two seasons as the head coach, talk about the stateof the program and where you see the program headed in the future?

A. "I definitely think the program is headed in the right direction. Whencoaches take over programs, they want to bring in their own ideas and theirown players. This is my second recruiting class leading up to 2002 and we'revery excited about them. We are very young having 13 new players this yearand 10 last year, but we do have three seniors who should help guide themalong. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people out there, but I stillhink it takes a while to build a program. I do think everything is going in the

right direction though and we have continued over the past three years tostrengthen our program. I think we're getting to where we want to be."

Q. What has you most excited about the upcoming season?

A. "I'm excited about everything. We had a great Spring. We worked thegirls really hard and we think they benefitted from it. We also added somevery talented players to this year's squad. We have 13 new kids coming inand all of them I am very familiar with. I think they'll be able to step in andcontribute right away. Also what excites me is that we ended the year on agood note. It took us a while to gel as a team, but when we finally cametogether, we started to see success. A lot of the year, we started sevenfreshman, which is a lot out of 11 players and those kids that played a lot forus last year have a year under their belt and a year of experience which willmake them that much better this year. Plus the talent of the new players, Idon't know how I can't be excited."

Q. What area of the team do you see the most promise in and what area do you thinkthe squad will need to improve the most before the opening match vs. FloridaAtlantic?

A. "From an offensive standpoint, I think we are going to be much strongerthan last year. We asked quite a few players to play in new positions, attackroles that they were not familiar with last year. Those kids did a great jobadapting to their roles, but this year we brought in several offensive playersthat will take some pressure off of them and allow them to return to theirregular positions which we feel will benefit the team the most. We were verysolid from a defensive standpoint, I think we lost nine games by just onegoal. We were in every game we played, we just didn't score goals. So thisyear, from a recruiting standpoint, I think we covered that."

"With so many new players, it takes time for those kids to adapt to eachother. We feel that everybody who is returning has really become close bothoff and on the field and a team that is close off the field is usually a very goodteam on the field. If we can get everybody on the same page with all thosenew players, we have a chance to do something special. That is the areawhere we need to work at the most before the first match. I think we have allthe talent in the world, the hard part will be trying to get these girls to gelright away."

Q. You have your top goal scorer returning from last season, and she is a senior.What does having a player like Alison Baker mean to a team that is comprised ofnearly half newcomers?

A. "AN Baker was one of the players that had to play out of position lastyear. She is going to score her goals, but she is not a true goal scorer. Sheis a true center mid that creates things for us. She creates opportunities forother players. This year, she is going to have players to get the ball to up topthat can score those goals. She is also going to be looked upon as a leader.She is very talented and a heck of an athlete. Whether she is the captain ornot, she will be a role model for this young team, so she plays a veryimportant role in everything. She is a fierce competitor who hates to loseand I think that will rub off on these kids. And the more she rubs off on them,the better off we will be."

Q. What do you expect from Becca Amrozowicz in her final season for the Lady


Tigers and from CBU transfer Anna Thorsdottir who has one season of eligibility at UofM?A. "I've got high expectations for Becca. We started playing her up toptowards the end of the Fall last year and into the Spring of this year, and Ithink that is her true position. Unfortunately, we only have one year left withBecca, but I think she is going to do great things up top for us. She is alsoa leader who works her tail off and if we can get the new kids to look up to herand follow her, it's going to benefit the team. We think Becca is going toscore a lot of goals for us."

"Anna is also a big-time competitor. She works hard at every practiceand is coming from a good program at CBU. She was a leader on that teamand I've talked to Anna and we don't want her to come in like a typicalfreshman. She's been through good times and hard times and she knowswhat it takes to be a leader. We've asked her to come in here and be a leader.Anna is a very talented player and we've got high expectations for her. Shecan play several positions and she will be a bonus for us."

Q. What do you want your team to get out of the first five non-conference gamesbefore you open C-USA play with Saint Louis on Sept. 20?

A. "It's all about preparation. Obviously, we want to win those first fivegames as bad as any of our games, but for us, our goal is to win theconference tournament and if you do that, you get an NCAA bid. I think it'srealistic to set the goals that high. From last year, if we're going to go fromlast year's record and last year's conference record to complete that goal, wehave our work cut out for us. We feel like we have the talent to do it though,like I said earlier, it's all about preparation. Hopefully those first five gameswill prepare us to beat Saint Louis on September 20th. By the time we reachthat game, hopefully we'll have all of our flaws out and be raring to go."

Q. The 2002 roster has 14 foreigners and 12 Americans, is it difficult as the coach toget the players to adjust to each one's differing styles of play?

A. "I think it's definitely a concern we have of getting everyone on the samepage, but as far as a negative standpoint, I don't think there is one. Eachplayer, whether they are from England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Swedenor Denmark, brings their own ideas and you can take those ideas and havethe other players learn from them. The foreigners realize from an athleticstandpoint, the Americans may be a little above them, and see that and workhard to improve. From an American standpoint, they see that foreigners area bit better technically and likewise they see that and work hard at that. As faras having foreigners on a team, I think it is a positive thing. They grow up ina soccer environment their whole lives and they live and die by it. I think thathas rubbed off a lot on our kids. To have so many foreigners is a plus for us."

Q. Nine of the 13 losses last season were by just one goal and the team's fivevictories all came via the shutout, how can you build on those performances for the2002 season?

A. "I think everyone on our team knows that we lost nine of 13 games by justone goal. We struggled scoring goals last season and we feel with theaddition of the players we've added this year, that that will not be a concern.Also, we were close in every match we played. We didn't really get beaten byany team, we were just unfortunate more than we came out on the fortunateend. I think our kids realize that we are very close to being something veryspecial, as a coach you just have to keep emphasizing how close we were.The kids worked hard last year, but as a coach you have to remind these kidsthat we were this close last year that we need to put in the extra work to putus over the top. It's one thing when your kids realize they were close, but it'sanother when they believe in themselves. I think our kids do believe inthemselves. They had a lot of heartache last year losing nine games by onegoal, and as a coach I am going to remind them of that before every gameand hopefully get a little more out of them."

2002 Season Outlook

The 2002 lady Tigers-.If there was one glaring weakness from the 2001 Lady Tigers' season it was theteam's inability to score goals. The squad averaged just 1.23 goals per gamescoring 24 times in 19 contests. That lack of goal scoring can generally be blamedon two components: a defense-first mentality which resulted primarily from anabsence of true forwards on the roster.

But those two components are likely to change in 2002 as head coach BrooksMonaghan enters his third season at the helm of the Lady Tigers with a slew ofoffensive-minded newcomers and a talented group of defenders who give Monaghanthe depth he has coveted.

Monaghan will have 13 newcomers on his 26-member roster with five of thoseplayers listed as forwards. Sophomore Kirsty Marr is the most notable of thegroup. The Dundee, Scotland native spent her first year in the United States atLindsey Wilson College where she earned NAIA All-America honors after scoring31 goals.

"With the talent we have coming in up top, we are going to be able to be theaggressors this season," Monaghan said. "We can attack more and not have to putso much pressure on Kat (goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell) and the defense."

Here's a position-by-position breakdown of the 2002 Lady Tigers:

FORWARDSThe forward spot was the central focus of Monaghan's recruiting efforts in the springand if you ask the coach, he'll tell you he hit a home run. The Lady Tigers added fivesignees to play with senior Becca Amorowicz who will be playing her first fullseason up top. Along with Marr, a trio of freshmen and junior Sinead Coakleyshould enhance an offensive attack that struggled to score goals in 2001. AmyThessen is a front-runner from California that should bring speed and size to thefront line. Nicky McLeod is a native of England who can play outwide or in themiddle for the Lady Tigers. She brings good pace and great serving ability to themix. Kristan Wilson is a freshman from Indianapolis, Ind., who has great skill inthe air and should help the U of M attack inside the penalty box.

'We're going to have a lot of weapons up top," Monaghan said. That is somethingwe lacked last year and we didn't score a whole lot of goals. I don't think that willbe a problem this year."

MIDFIELDERSSenior Alison Baker will be back at her normal position in the center midfield spotafter spending most of last season as an attacking midfielder. Paired with sopho-more Annika Moller, the duo, who were ranked one-two on the team in scoringlast season, forms a strong contingent in the middle of the field for the Lady Tigers.Also returning is sophomore Carina Vilhodt. The Denmark native contributed bigtime as a freshman in 2001 and that fact alone should make her even better thesecond time around. Another returning sophomore is Suzie Wells. Monaghan saidshe did a fabulous job for the team last year and he expects the same this season.

The Lady Tigers have five newcomers to go with their four returners at the midfieldspots which should provide a serious amount of depth that has been lacking inyears past. Freshman Erin Ferris is a superb athlete from Columbus, Ohio, whocan play both in the center or on the outside for the Lady Tigers. Elizabeth Gardneris an experienced freshman who has played for one of the best Club teams in theUnited States throughout high school. The Peachtree City, Ga., native is a versatileplayer who can also play on the back line.

Robyn Smart is a freshman from from Noblesville, Ind., who Monaghan expectsto contribute right away. Smart is an all-around athlete who can play anywhere onthe field and should help the Lady Tigers' aerial attack. Sophomore LeAnne McGeeis a skilled player who has a year of collegiate experience under her belt and shouldchallenge the returners for playing time right away.


Preparing for SuccessSophomore

occurrenceduring their

2002season.

Senior Anna Thorsdottir is a transfer from Christian Brothers who has one year ofeligibility remaining. She was a leader on the field at CBU and Monaghan expects thesame from her at U of M. Junior Monica Powell also returns for the Lady Tigers afterseeing action in 17 contests in 2001.

"We won't have a problem finding the right players at midfield," Monaghan said. "Wehave so much depth here. I think we'll be very solid at the midfield spots."

DEFENDERSThe Lady Tigers return sweeper Angela Willoughby, who will be back at 100percent after missing the last four matches with a knee injury in 2001. Willoughby wasone of the Lady Tigers' top players last season and her aggressive style is a bonusto the defense. Sophomore Amy Ciezki also contributed to the back line as afreshman and did a solid job for the U of M in 15 contests. Sophomore Mary Sheltonwas one of the more pleasant surprises for Monaghan last season. She helpedsolidify the back line and has ability to move up and help the offense. Also helping outthe back line will be junior Veronica Ruiz.

Newcomers on the back line include sophomore Jocelyn Raine and freshmanCourtney Melton. Both are tough, physical players with good size to combatopposing offenses and should contribute right off the bat.

"Defense was not our problem last year. We had a strong defense and didn't give upmany goals," Monaghan said. "Defender is another spot where we feel like we havea lot of depth and any one of the kids can step in and do a great job for us."

GOALKEEPERSJunior goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell will again anchor this year's Lady Tiger de-fense. The Katrineholm, Sweden, native has been Memphis' primary goalkeeper forthe last two seasons. And after adjusting to the rigors of Conference USA her fresh-man season, Wicksell used her sophomore season to establish herself as one of theleague's best netminders. She posted a school-record five shutouts and dropped hergoals against average from 2.78 in 2000 to just 1.65 in 2001.

"Katarina had a terrific season for us last year and we expect even bigger things fromher this year," Monaghan said. "She really came up big for us on several occasionsand the defense can play with more confidence knowing she is back there."

Backing Wicksell up on paper will be junior Kari Rawe and freshman Lindy Smart.Rawe has played in nine contests for the Lady Tigers in two seasons and Smart wasa prep standout at Harbor Creek H.S. in Erie, Pa. Both players will push Wicksell forthe starting spot.

2001 Lady Tigers Season In ReviewSuccess is not always measured by wins and losses. Case in point: the 2001 LadyTiger soccer team. On paper, when you glance at the 5-13-1 (3-7 C-USA) recordthe team posted last year, it would be simple to conclude that Brooks Monaghan'ssecond season as women's soccer coach at his alma mater went relatively unsuc-cessful.

Ask Monaghan his conclusion and he has a different answer. "Some people maynot agree with me, but I look back at last season and overall I'm pleased with theway things turned out," he said. "Our record was not indicative of how well weplayed. Sure I would have liked to have been on the winning side more, but wewere in every game last season and that says a lot about a young team."

Monaghan was not exaggerating when he labeled his 2001 squad as young. Theroster was comprised of 17 underclassmen and a trio of juniors and seniors. On topof that 10 of the 17 underclassmen were freshman and eight members of Monaghan'sfirst recruiting class saw extensive action in their first seasons. And seeing theplayers contribute that he recruited to the U of M made the season even more

pleasing to the second-yearhead coach.

Midfielder Alison Baker led the LadyTigers' in goals (6), assists (2) andpoints (14) in 2001

In fact, it was two freshmen,Annika Moller and MaryShelton, who were the onlyplayers to start all 19 contestsfor the Lady Tigers. "For thosekids to step in and get playingtime right away is only goingto help us in the future,"Monaghan added. "Getting thatyear of experience will makethem better players and in turnwill make our team much bet-ter."

The area where the 2001 LadyTigers excelled the most wasdefense which should come asno surprise to Monaghan, whowas an All-Conference goal-keeperforthe Tigers during hisplaying days. The U of Mai-lowed only 1.7 goals a game

in 2001 after giving up 2.55 in Monaghan's first season on the job.

The overall defensive improvement that last year's squad showed from the 2000season cannot go without mention. After allowing 51 goals on 223 shots the previousseason, Tiger goalkeepers allowed just 32 of 231 shots to sneak past them in 2001."It took Katarinaayearto adapt to ourleague, but she really established herself lastyear," Monaghan said. "She has a chance to be one of the best goalies in theconference this season and it gives our team a lot of confidence knowing she isdefending our goal."

Wicksell recorded a school-record five shutouts in 2001 which resulted in the team'sfive victories for the season. And after the team allowed four or more goals on fivedifferent occasions her freshman season, it only happened once last season in a 4-3 overtime loss to Mississippi State.

Even though the 2000 squad put up a better record at 9-11 than the 2001 squad,seven of its losses were by three or more goals. Compare that with the fact that lastyear the Lady Tigers' lost nine of their 13 games by just one goal and their otherfourlosses were all two-goal deficits and one begins to see why Monaghan's conclusionis rat far-fetched at all.


After opening their season with a 3-2 loss to Missouri, a 2-2 draw with SouthwestMissouri State and a 2-0 loss to Evansville, the Lady Tigers edged into the wincolumn with a 3-0 blanking of UT-Martin. Their victory over the Skyhawks set thestage for one of the biggest wins in school history.

Junior Alison Baker provided the dramatics early in U of M's match with SEC-foeOle Miss. In the sixth minute, Baker found the back of the net after drilling a 25-yardhalf-volley past the Rebel goalkeeper. Freshman Susannah Wells recorded theassist and that would be the only goal the Lady Tigers would need as they beat OleMiss for the first-time in school history.

That was a huge win for our program," Monaghan said. "It was big for our girls andbig for recruiting. Locally, the kids see Ole Miss and Mississippi State as the high-profile teams and for us to beat Ole Miss and play State so close, really opened someeyes around here. The attitude toward U of M soccer is changing."

The modest two-game winning streak quickly came to a halt for the Lady Tigers asthey opened C-USA play with a 2-0 loss to Saint Louis. After a 3-2 setback toMarquette followed by a 2-1 non-conference loss to Vanderbilt, U of M righted theship and snapped the three-game skid with a 1 -0 victory over DePaul. Moller scoredthe only goal in the 75th minute of the match off an assist by senior Michelle Meduri.

Sitting at 3-5-1 overall the Lady Tigers next ran into a buzzsaw called Cincinnati. TheLady Bearcats, who ended up running the table at 10-0 in C-USA play, dealt U of Ma 2-0 loss and started a season-long six-game slide for the Lady Tigers.

A stretch of five consecutive one-goal losses finally came to an end when the LadyTigers returned the favor with a 1 -0 victory at TCU. Shelton took matters into her ownfeet stealing the ball in front of the Horned Frogs' goal and putting the ball past keeperAdrianne Labovitz for the decisive goal.

The TCU victory began a stretch of four games that Monaghan said his team finallystarted coming together. The Lady Tigers went just 2-2 in those four games, but thehead coach saw his team begin to gel. U of M dropped a 3-1 decision to UAB, butbounced back by trouncing South Florida 3-0. Not only was the victory a nice wayto cap off the C-USA season, but it gave the Lady Tigers a sense of revenge after theBulls handed the 2000 squad its worse loss (7-0) of the season. Moller had a season-high three points vs. USF scoring the first goal and assisting on the third. FreshmanCarina Vilhodt added a pair of assists.

The Lady Tigers concluded their season with a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss inStarkville to Mississippi State. Moller put U of M on top in just the second minute withher fifth goal of the season. Then, senior Becca Amrozowicz gave the Lady Tigers a2-0 cushion in the 22nd minute, but three unanswered goals by MSU standout AmyVan Szandt quickly gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the game in the 63rd minute.Baker, who assisted on the first two Lady Tiger goals, scored the tying goal in the 67thminute, but a goal by Jessi Moore in the 13th minute of overtime gave MSU thevictory.

Baker ended the season as the team's leading scorer. The junior midfielder scored 14points on six goals and two assists while Moller was second on the team in scoringwith 12 points. The freshman from Sweden found the goal five times and also hadtwo assists.

Amrozowicz, who made the transition from midfield to forward in the middle of theseason, scored three goals and added two assists to finish third on the team with eightpoints. The junior from Strongsville, Ohio, was one of several Lady Tigers who hadto play a new position. "All in all, I couldn't have asked for much more out of ourkids," Monaghan said. "A lot of kids were asked to play positions they had neverplayed before, but they all stepped up to the challenge."

University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban universitycommitted to scholarly accomplishments of our students andfaculty and to the enhancement of our community. The Uni-versity of Memphis offers 15 bachelor's degrees in more than 50

majors and 70 concentrations, master's degrees in 46 subjects and doctoraldegrees in 21 disciplines, in addition to the Juris Doctor (law) and a specialistdegree in education. The University of Memphis campus is located on 1,160acres with nearly 200 buildings at more than four sites. During a typical semes-ter, students come from almost every state and many foreign countries. Theaverage age of full-time undergraduates is 23. The average ACT score forentering freshman is 22.

The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the GeneralEducation Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known origi-nally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doorsSept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tigeras the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during theCivil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after thatdivisive conflict.)

Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was openedin the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm wasbuilt; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the academic counseling offices.

In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College.Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W.Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935the school's agriculture department was discontinued.

The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in1946 the first alumnus was named president, J. Millard "Jack" Smith. In 1950 graduatestudies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semestersystem.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructedacross the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSUbecame the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curricu-lum.

The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom.In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Librarywas completed. As the century closed, a 1,200-seat theater was being completed, andplans were underway for the FedEx Emerging Technology Center adjacent to the FogelmanCollege of Business and Economics and a full-service hotel and hospitality training facility,a $ 15 million gift from Holiday Inns founder Kemmons Wilson.

The Tiger football team began the Tommy West era in 2001and came within a matter of seconds of breaking the school's30-year bowl drought. Memphis finished the season with a recordof 5-6, matching the most victories by the U of M since the1994 campaign. The Tigers notched wins over UT-Chattanooga, South Florida, Soulthe final contest of the year with a 5-5 record and bowl scouts on hand to awardbattled to the final fours seconds of the contest before the Bearcats pulled out the 3honors and freshman punter James Gaither was named to two All-America Teams.

The 2001 volleyball season will go down as one of the most successful seasons in recent history. The squad opened the year with a 10-0 record, marking the best start in school history. The previous best was a 7-0 mark to open the 1997 season. The Tigers won both theUNC Asheville and Kent State tournaments, and placed several players on the all-tournament teams. Senior Ainie Hamilton was namedthe MVP at both events, while senior Ginger Garrett was named as an all-tournament pick at both tournaments. Senior AdrianneEdmonds garnered honors at the Kent State tournament. The Tigers closed out the season with a 22-10 record, which was the best incoach Carrie Yerty's six years at the helm of the program. It also marked the best season for the Tigers since 1994. Amie Hamilton, whobroke the C-USA career record for service aces, was named to the all-C-USA second team.

First year women's soccer head coach Brooks Monaghan guided the young Lady Tigers to a 5-13-1 mark. The 2001 Lady Tigers featured17 first and second year players and were close to sweeping Mid-South rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Lady Tigers topped theRebels 1-0 before suffering a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the Bulldogs in the 2001 season finale. Junior midfielder AH Baker andfreshman sweeper Annika Holier were named to the Under-23 National Amateur Team.

After an impressive 14-6 record and semi-final appearance in the C-USA tournament following the 2000 season, expectations were highfor the U of M soccer team in 2001. However, plagued by several key injuries and a rough two-week preseason tour of Ireland, theTigers found themselves just one win shy of advancing to postseason play at 6-9-2. Even on a down year, head coach Richie Grant's eyefor talent was never in question, as four seniors received all-conference honors including first-team forward Sean Fraser, second-teammidfielder Justin Stralka and a pair of third-team performers in defender Stephen Lewis and forward Lars Thorstensen. Both Fraser andThorstensen were also recognized on two separate occasions as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week.

The women's cross country claimed its first meet title in recent memory in the 2001 season winning the Arkansas State/Pepsi Invitationalin Jonesboro, Ark. The Lady Tigers finished 31 points ahead of second place Ole Miss. Memphis also had a second place finish in theMurray State Invitational. Individually, senior Wendy Ragle had an outstanding season with three top three finishes during the season.

In men's cross country, the Tigers won the Plough Park Invitational to open the season as Balazs Laszlo won the individual title in thefour-mile run. The men also claimed a second-place finish at the Murray State Invitational as Derek Nakluski, Laszlo, and Ricky McLainfinished third, fourth and fifth respectively in the meet. Memphis finished sixth in the C-USA Championships with Laszlo claiming a top20 finish at 19th.

Phil Chamberlain's Tigers had one of the best seasons in Memphis history. The Tigers posted a 16-8 record, and were undefeated in C-USA play during the regular season at 6-0. Eight of the Tigers' 16 victories came against ranked teams as Memphis played one of thenation's toughest schedules. Senior Michael Chamberlain and freshman Alex Bucewicz were honored for their stellar play as both werenamed C-USA Player of the Week once during the season. Memphis won two team titles this year, claiming the UC-lrvine Anteater Classicand sharing the title of the H.E.B. Invitational in Corpus Christ!, Texas.

Women's tennis finished the 2002 season at 5-16, but had several highlights. Junior Monica Gonzalez-Gordo (Barcelona, Spain) had oneof the greatest seasons in school history. The transfer from Baylor posted a 15-1 record in singles play and paired with junior SabrinaLindemann to go 18-2 in doubles play. Lindemann, an Academic All-America nominee, was just as successful off the court, earning herbachelor's degree in sports management in just three years. She will play her fourth and final season next year as a graduate student.Head coach Charlotte Peterson won her 300th career match, making her only the second women's coach at Memphis to reach that leveljoining former women's basketball coach Mary Lou Johns on that exclusive list.

The Memphis men's golf team, under the direction of 31-year veteran coach Jim Cook, competed in 10 tournaments in 2001-02. Theteam had four top 10 finishes during the season, including a sixth-place finish in the South Alabama Fall Beach Classic. Sophomore DavidJeans was one of the team's top players. He averaged 74.88 strokes per round during the season, and placed in a tie for 26th at the C-USA Championships.

The Tigers captured their first post-season title in any intercollegiate sport, winning the 2002 Owens Corning NIT championship. It wasMemphis' 15th appearance in the NIT. The U of M posted a 27-9 record, marking the squad's most wins since 1985-86. The team's 75percent winning streak also marked the best percentage since the 1986-87 squad finished at 26-8. Under second-year coach JohnCalipari, Memphis won 20+ games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since consecutive 20-win years during the 1994-95 and1995-96 seasons. Memphis won Conference USA's national Division by three games, posting a 12-4 record in league play, and becamethe first repeat National Division title champion since the league went to the two-division system. The Tigers posted a 19-2 record athome, including a 7-1 mark in C-USA play. For a second straight year the U of M set an attendance record drawing 349,737 over 21dates. The 16,654 average over 21 dates ranks second all-time only to last year when Memphis averaged 17,110. Memphis's averageattendance through 18 regular-season home games was 18,241.

The 2001 -02 season will go down in the books as one of the most uncharacteristic Lady Tiger basketball seasons in nearly 10 years. Earlyon, coach Joyc Lee-McNelis knew adding seven new faces to a roster that only had two seniors, a junior and four sophomores, wouldyield inconsistencies. Memphis showed some promise early in the season. It was the end of the season, when McNeils' squads typicallypeak, that was hard to accept as the U of M saw a seven-game losing streak and an early exit from the C-USA Tournament. Memphisended with an 11-17 overall record that included a disappointing 2-12 record in games played outside of Memphis. The seven-gamelosing streak was the longest since the 1990-91 season, and the 11 wins was the least for a Lady Tiger squad since that same season.There were several positives to note, though . On Feb. 3, 2002, 5-6 point guard Kalara McFadyen recorded what is believed to be thefirst-ever triple-double in NCAA history that did not include a single shot taken. She hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out 12 assists andtotaled 10 steals in the win. She was named a C-USA co-Player of the Week for her effort and was featured in various nationalpublications including USA Today, Sports Illustrated and the New York Times. Junior Shannon Hamp was named to the all-C-USA secondteam after leading Memphis in scoring all season long.

The 2002 season saw the Tigers battle inexperience and far too many untimely injuries. Still, despite all the setbacks Memphis found away to shine on an individual level within both the record books and the postseason watch. Catcher Barrett Smith, capped a career withover 160 games, a lifetime average of .314 and ranked second in career home runs with 28 and among the all-time top ten in hits andRBI. Junior outfielder Paul Cookman was the C-USA Hitter of the Week on March 25 and rookie shortstop Brent Dlugach brought aglimpse of the future after receiving a selection to the league's All-Freshman team.

Under the direction of interim coach Katie Rump, the Lady Tiger golf team won two tournaments in 2001-02 and again received a bid tothe NCAA Regional Championships. The Lady Tigers opened the season by winning the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate, whilesophomore Jennifer Jaszek won the individual title for her first collegiate victory. The Lady Tigers also won the Edwin Watts/CarolinasClassic at Pinehurst #8 and junior Marianne Ruud won the individual title. Memphis placed fourth at the C-USA Championships andMeaghan Francella and Jennifer Jaszek were named to the All-Conference Team. The Lady Tigers traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, forthe NCAA East Regional and placed 11th. Francella received her second consecutive individual bid to the NCAA Championships andcompeted in Auburn, Washington. She tied for 96th.

The 2001 season marked the first time in nine years that a University of Memphis men's track and field student-athlete did not win anindoor conference championship, but sophomore Greg Doughty's conference championship in the javelin at the outdoor championshipskept the Tigers' 10-year outdoor streak alive. After finishing as runner-up in the javelin as a freshman. Doughty claimed the Tigers' onlyevent championship of 2001, helping the Tigers to a 7th place finish at the outdoor championships, matching their indoor finish. JuniorRyan Smith finished second in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the outdoor meet, while the 4x400-meter relay team finished third. DelvitRogers, who holds the Memphis indoor triple jump and outdoor long jump records, finished third in the triple in his last season in a Tigeruniform.

Sophomore Lisa-Marie Hyman's conference championship in the outdoor triple jump gave the Lady Tiger track and field programconference championships in back-to-back years for just the third time since the program was reinstated in 1985. Hyman, who was therunner-up in the triple jump at the Conference USA indoor meet, helped the Lady Tigers to a 10th place finish at the outdoor meet. Thewomen's 4x100 meter relay team captured third at the outdoor meet, finishing behind nationally-ranked powerhouses TCU andHouston and defeating the fourth-place finishers by half a second. Senior Kameilah Amaya posted the Lady Tigers' other third placefinish. Also powering the Lady Tigers in the jumps was freshman Ashley Reed. The Memphis, Tenn. native finished sixth in the long jumpwith a leap of 5.68 meters.

Strength & ConditioningThe Tiger Strength and Condition-

ing facility located next to the newly re-modeled indoor turf room in the southcampus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Com-plex, opened in January 1993 andserves each of the University's intercol-legiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsityweightroom is equipped with rugged,versatile hardware such that groups ofup to 70 student-athletes can train con-currently with optimal effectiveness andefficiency.

Workouts are designed and super-vised by one of the Strength and Con-ditioning staff's certified specialists, andeach student-athlete's individualprogress is projected via computerizeddatabase. The Tiger Power philosophycouples functional, mulit-joint move-ments with fundamental principles: ex-ercise techniques are simplified andperformed on an alternating heavy/ex-plosive basis in order to maximize train-ing effects while minimizing teachingand training time (as well as fatique).Performance based fitness and workquality are the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment up-grade plan reflects this philosophy andincludes: 10 self-contained Olympic plat-forms and power racks; a plyornetric/medicine ball area; a complete dumb-bell line; and a variety of hip sleds,gluteham stations, cable stations andother supplemental pieces allowing stu-dent-athletes to perform an unlimitedvariety of exercises and movements.The modern and spacious facility is alsoequipped with dressing/restrooms; isnaturally illuminated; and is maintainedat a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range TigerPower programs, student-athletes areassigned to respective developmentallevels based on individual ability andtraining history. For example, newcom-ers begin with an extensive volume of"foundational" or generalized move-ments; and progress toward more inten-sive and specialized exercises witheach successive phase.

The actual workout menu may re-main fairly constant over a student-athlete's four or five year sport career,however broad variations in workloadcombine the program's simplicity witha measure of sophistication.

Traditions

WHY TIGERS?When the University of Memphis first fielded

a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had se-lected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team, tabbedthem only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of WestTennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season, therewas a student parade. During this event, severalNormal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers".The nickname was born.

More and more the nickname "Tigers" wasused, particularly in campus publications. But itdid not catch on with the newspapers downtown.They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue andGray" when referring to the University.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922,Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to thatold student yell about Tigers. The team adopted amotto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score174 points while allowing their opponents just 29points.

In the late 1920s, student publications anddowntown newspapers began referring to the foot-ball team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tigernickname would return. But not until 1939 was itfinally adopted as the official nickname for the Uni-versity of Memphis.

ABENGAL FORAMASCOT

For almost 30 years, the sideline mascot forthe University of Memphis athletics has been theBengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mas-cot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger foot-ball games, as well as numerous basketball games.TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soc-cer and women's basketball games.

The first tiger, purchased by the HighlandHundred (football booster group) in 1972, livedfor 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo.TOM died in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrivedin Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9,1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel inMichigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'HareInternational Airport. There it was placed aboarda Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM.C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and presidentof the Highland Hundred, approved a check for$ 1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken toathletic director Billy Murphy's office for a pressconference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium, the Highland Hundred officially presentedTOM to the University on November 11, 1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daugh-ter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Mem-phis, however, a contest was held to name themascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a com-mittee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ranfrom Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan,Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and

Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Ten-nessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two:Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOMwon.

During his first few months in Memphis,Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, whichwas redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOMwas guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Mem-phis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his newhome at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. Hisnew home is 3500 square feet and includes twopools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned denbox and has separately, a complete medical fa-cility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger isnearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as largeor larger than his predecessor, TOM, who wasonce the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOMII prior to each football season.

SCHOOL COLORSThe University of Memphis' official school

colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected inthe early 1900s.

The colors were chosen in an effort to showunity in a nation that was still recovering fromthe effects of the Civil War. The student bodythought that by picking the colors of the Northand the South, the school would show a together-ness among all students.

THE LOGOThe University of Memphis' official logo has

been redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Dis-ciple Design in Memphis, Tenn.

The original logo was an MSU with a leap-ing tiger coming out from behind the letters. Thenew logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger comingup over the center of the "M".

The 2002 season will mark the First year the Lady Tigers will call the Mike

Rose Soccer Complex home. After spending the First six seasons playing

their home matches at Echles Field on the U oF M campus, the Lady Tigers

will join the men's team, who played all oF its 2001 home matches at the

MRSC, in playing their matches at the 2,500 seat stadium.

The Lady Tigers will play all eight oF its home matches, including all Five of

its Conference USA home tilts, at the complex which sits on 136.17 acres

and houses 16 fields equipped with Bermuda grass. "Being able to play at

Mike Rose enables our program to compete with anyone facility wise," Head

Women's Coach Brooks Monaghan said. "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 first class."

There is not a better facility in the country for a college kid to play soccer."- Brooks Monaghan, Head Women's Coach

Located in Southeast Shelby County just east of the city of Memphis, the

MRSC facility is also home to a pair of Memphis professional teams that

have helped soccer Fever sweep across the Mid-South. The Memphis Mercury

oF the Women's W-League and the Memphis Express oF the Men's Super Y

League have established themselves in the Memphis soccer community and

Monaghan said both programs at the U oF M are primed to have the same

results. "It is in the perfect location For the soccer community in Memphis,"

Monaghan added. "A lot of the kids who play in the youth soccer leagues

around town are From the Germantown and Collierville area which makes it

convenient for them to come out and watch us play."

Monaghan and men's Head Coach Richie Grant are working hard by pushing

season ticket sales and promoting their programs to the surrounding

communities in order to increase support. "We've seen the success that the

Mercury and Express have had at Mike Rose and when we better establish

ourselves in the soccer community, we feel we will see that same success."
