OESTRIKE STADIUMOestrike Stadium, named after EMU Hall of Fame Coach Ron Oestrike, was built in 1971, the year following Eastern Michigan’s NAIA Collegiate National Championship and four years before its back-to-back NCAA Worlds Series appearances.

Since it the stadium opened in 1971, EMU has tallied just six losing seasons at Oestrike Stadium, while compiling an overwhelming 453 victories. The Eagles recorded 19 wins at Oestrike Stadium in 2006 - the most wins at home by an EMU team in school his-tory.

Improvements to Oestrike Stadium have been ongoing since 1988, starting with the addition of the press box behind home plate. The following year, an inning-by-inning scoreboard with a message center was installed behind the left-field fence. In 1990, four permanent batting cages were added along Hewitt Road behind the left-field fence.

The 1992 season marked the beginning of the field improvements, starting with a new outfield fence and practice infield. In 1995, an outfield drainage system and sprinkling system were installed.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen plays in front of a packed crowd at Oestrike Stadium in 2008.



The playing surface was the focus in 1988 when a new infield surface, pitching mound and bullpen mounds were completed. In the summer of 2001, the dugouts were expanded and drinking fountains were installed.

The aesthetics of Oestrike Stadium have been addressed, begin-ning in 2000 with the addition of lights. The first-ever night game at Oestrike stadium was played May 3, 2000 against the University of Michigan. Down 8-7 with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, EMU shortstop Nick Soliz hit a walk-off two-run homer to lead EMU to a 9-8 victory over the Wolverines. The commemora-tive bricks that line the grandstand section continue to be installed and last fall, the infield drainage system was replaced, as was the infield surface.

In 2007, the entire infield was ripped out and replaced with Pro Grass, thanks to several individuals that donated their time and money to make the project a reality.

In 2008, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bruce Springsteen performed for over 5,000 fans at Oestrike Stadium. The rock legend played a 50-minute acoustic set and performed such hits as “Thunder Road” and “This Land is Your Land.” Springsteen was

inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.

In 2009, Oestrike Stadium also became home to the Midwest Sliders of the Frontier League. Future plans include the addition of a permanent concessions stand and the continued extension of the dugouts.

A WINNING TRADITION


Despite the two sports not having much in common with each oth-er, the Eastern Michigan University rowing and baseball teams came together this fall for a day of team building exercises at Ford Lake. The Eagle baseball team made the early morning trek out to Ford Lake to learn the basics of rowing for five days, something the EMU row-ing team and Head Coach Brad Holdren do on an every day basis. “I'm extremely happy the baseball team came out and learned to row,” Holdren said. “I would love to eventually teach all of the athletes on campus. It's a good opportunity for them to learn a little bit about our obscure sport and it's an even better chance for them to learn more teamwork.” In most team sports, athletes can be compared to links on a chain and it’s possible for the stronger links to carry the weaker ones. Holdren believes rowing is the exact opposite. “It's the weakest member of any boat who ultimately decides how fast that boat will go,” Holdren explained. “The stronger links cannot make up for the weakest link. Very few sports have this unique quality.” Learning to work together as a team and become acclimated with one another is vital for teams at any level of competition, but in particu-lar for the EMU baseball team, as the Eagles welcome 14 newcomers to the squad this year in Jay Alexander’s second season as head coach. “I wanted to give my players an opportunity to really understand

what teamwork truly is,” Alexander said. “Because in rowing if everyone does not work together than there is no chance to accomplish your goals, and that’s something our team learned while working with the rowers.” After a slow start in the early morning while learning the basics of the sport, the baseball team eventually got the hang of what it re-ally means to work as a team in the water and managed to generate enough speed to get the boats moving at a steady pace. By the late afternoon, the Eagles came together enough as a team to actually com-pete against each other and the rowing team. “Coach Holdren's athletes are outstanding and they work as hard as we do, but because of their sport they obviously know the true mean-ing of teamwork,” Alexander said. “They have to wake early in the morn-ing and train in the dark while trying to keep everyone on the same page, which is an extremely difficult thing to do. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Holdren and his team and I hope to do it again very soon.”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Story courtesy of AnnArbor.com) – Until this fall, Aaron Crooks was in his comfort zone. For the past four years, the Eastern Michigan University base-ball player has escorted a family in need on a Warm the Children shopping trip, helping them pick out clothing, keeping track of the tab and impressing the young boys with his athletic accom-plishments. But this year, Crooks said, he helped a family with four girls, ranging from an infant to a 15-year-old. “It was different,” he said. There were no Spiderman or Batman pajamas, no talk about baseball. Instead, it was about jeans and socks and boots. The girls were not impressed. “For the boys, especially the younger boys, we’re just as good as being professional baseball players,” Crooks said. “Teenage boys, they ask what schools we play and what’s it like. The girls, they weren’t too interested in baseball.” Crooks and about 25 other EMU baseball players continued a team tradition of volunteering with the Warm the Children pro-gram. The annual effort was started by the Ann Arbor News 13 years ago and was taken over by AnnArbor.com when the News closed last summer. Readers are asked to donate funds that are used to buy new winter clothing for area children in need. Every dollar raised goes toward the clothing, with AnnArbor.com covering the adminis-trative costs. Each child is given a $90 voucher for new clothing and this year’s goal is to raise $250,000. For many of the children, it’s the only chance to have new clothes. Crooks, a senior who coordinated his team’s volunteer efforts this year, noticed other differences between shopping for boys and shopping for girls.. “The girls know what they want. At the same time, they take more time getting it. The boys grab whatever and if it fits, they wear it,” he said. “When there are boys in the family, it’s easier for us. I have three other brothers.” And while there wasn’t much baseball chatter with the three girls he helped, their shyness melted away after 10 minutes, Crooks said. Whether it’s girls or boys, it’s a positive thing to do, Crooks said.

“The whole experience is touching. It’s not our money that they’re spending, but they still appreciate that we show up. There’s not much time in college to socialize with little kids, to meet new people. But as soon as they meet you, they say thank you. Every time you hand them some clothes, they say thank you. When you leave, they say thank you.” The EMU baseball program has participated for at least six years, said Jim Mulchay, who coordinates the effort between the EMU team and AnnArbor.com. EMU players team up to work with about 10 families each year, assisting up to 30 children a year. Mulchay has filled in as a shopper when needed. It was important for his team to continue the Warm the Chil-dren tradition, said head EMU baseball coach Jay Alexander, who is in his second year with the program. “Our duty is to give back.” His players serve as role models for the children. “It shows them that college is good and that you have to be good in school to go to college,” he said. And it’s a boost for the players, said pitcher Corey Chaffins, who has participated for the past four years. “We’re like celebrities to them. It’s a big deal to some of the kids. They ask us questions: How good are you? How fast do you throw?”

2010 ouTlook

After leading the Eagles to the No. 7 seed and a pair of wins in the Mid-American Conference Tourna-ment in his first year, Eastern Michigan University Head Baseball Coach Jay Alexander is set for year two, as EMU begins its 2010 season with a three-game series in Lawrence, Kan. against the No. 25 ranked Kansas Jayhawks, beginning Feb. 19.

The Eagles return 15 letterwinners from a year ago, including seven position starters and seven pitch-ers. The team had two players selected in the 2009 MLB First-Year Players Draft, as Jim Gulliver was cho-sen in the 20th round by the Detroit Tigers, while Kyle Rhoad was picked in the 33rd round by the Texas Rangers. Other departures include outfielder Aaron Powell and pitchers Bobby Henderson, Kevin Wammes, and Sean Hoffman.

The 2010 season also brings to light an important part of history for the Eastern Michigan baseball program, as it marks the 40-year anniversary of the team’s 1970 NAIA National Championship. The then-Hurons needed all nine innings of game six to knock off Northeast Louisiana to claim the title, as Eastern Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame Member Jeff Peck was named the Tournament MVP for the Hu-rons, who won four games in their final at bat in the week-long tournament.

Behind the PlateThe Eagles have a wealth of experience returning behind the plate in 2010, as senior Andrew Mar-shall and junior captain Matt Skirving will split time at catcher this season. A first-team All-Region and All-MAC selection last season, Skirving started 54 games, batting .348 with 16 homers (fifth in the MAC), a team-best 64 RBI (third in the MAC) and a .647 slugging percentage. Behind the plate, Skirving caught 11 of 23 base runners trying to steal, putting him among the MAC’s best. Marshall paced the EMU offense with a team-best 18 home runs last season (third in MAC) to go along with 54 RBI and 47 runs scored. Behind the plate, Marshall tied for second in the MAC with 16 runners caught stealing. Also, see-ing time at catcher this season will be senior John Carrier and freshman walk on Jeff Baublit.

Around the HornThe departure of Jim Gulliver left a void for the Eagles at shortstop, but senior Aaron Crooks, who started 54 games up the middle at second base with Gulliver at shortstop last season, will enter 2010 as the team’s starting shortstop after a successful fall and off season. Crooks finished the 2009 season with a .950 fielding percentage, recording just 13 er-rors in 245 chances. At the plate, Crooks batted .210 with a pair of homers, with his first career long ball coming against Ball State, May 2. Also seeing time at shortstop this season will be junior college new-comer Aaron Chavez. Chavez started all 48 games for Ohlone College during the 2009 season, hitting .272 with 34 hits and 12 RBI. Chavez topped the con-ference in double plays turned, finishing the season with a .963 fielding percentage. Chavez also earned honorable mention All-Coast Conference honors last year and was also the Renegades’ team captain.

A mainstay at third base for his first two seasons at EMU, junior Zack Leonard will make the transition to second base this season with Crooks moving to shortstop. Leonard tallied just 11 errors during the 2009 season, finishing with a .930 fielding percent-age. In his first two seasons at EMU, Leonard has been named to the MAC All-Tournament team twice, earning MVP honors in 2008 to lead the Eagles to an NCAA Regional appearance. In eight career MAC Tournament games, Leonard is batting .444 (16-for-36) with four home runs, four doubles and 18 RBI. In just two seasons, Leonard has tallied 156 hits and is on pace to break Derrick Peterson’s all-time record of 274 career hits.

Taking over for Leonard at the hot corner will be redshirt sophomore newcomer Ben Magsig. An Ac-ademic All-American last year at Lansing C.C., Mag-sig had a stellar 2009 season, winning the Division II Junior College batting title after hitting .557 with a .710 on-base percentage, while tallying three hom-ers, nine doubles, four triples and 31 RBI.

Rounding out the infield is senior first baseman Todd Graves, who played in 39 games last season at first and as the designated hitter. Graves goes into his senior year with a .282 career average at 18 home runs, including 11 during the 2009 season. Last year, Graves finished second on the team with a .991 fielding percentage, recording only two errors all year. Graves missed a good portion of time his first two seasons with a shoulder injury, but finished strong in the final half of 2009 to become one of the MAC’s top power hitters.

The OutfieldWith the departure of centerfielder Kyle Rhoad and leftfielder Aaron Powell, the Eagles go into 2010 with a fresh look in the outfield. Taking over duties in center will be junior college newcomer Bo Kinder. Along side Kinder in left will be sophomore Brent Ohrman, who had an impressive off season where he was named to the Hawaii Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Team. In right, junior Ken Battiston makes his return to the lineup after missing all of last year with a torn ACL. Also, competing for a spot in the outfield will be sophomore Wally Gerbus, who

earned National Player of the Week accolades last season after a four home run and nine RBI perfor-mance at Bowling Green, April 8. Several newcomers will also compete for playing time in the outfield, in-cluding Daniel Russell, Sam Ott and Dae Bowden.

On the MoundComing off Tommy John surgery in 2008, junior captain Corey Chaffins came back strong in 2009 to earn second-team All-MAC accolades, including MAC West Pitcher of the Week honors twice. Chaffins tallied 69 strikeouts in 66.2 innings pitched last sea-son, finishing with a 5-3 record at 7.83 ERA. Chaffins earned MAC West Pitcher of the Week honors after a 14-strikeout performance against Ball State, May 1, and April 13 after a stellar performance against Ohio. Chaffins enters the 2010 season as EMU’s top starting pitcher.

Sophomores Kendall Lewis and Jordan Glover come into 2010 as the No. 2 and 3 starters after solid freshmen campaigns. Lewis finished with a 5-4 re-cord in 16 appearances last year, including a stellar performance against the regionally bound Buck-eyes from Ohio State, May 12, where he yielded just one run over five innings to pick up the victory in Columbus. Glover made 11 starts for the Eagles last year, finishing the season with a 3-5 record and 6.31 ERA. Glover was named the MAC West Pitcher of the Week, May 17, after striking out a career-best nine batters and pitching EMU’s first shutout since 2007 in the team’s 5-0 win over Central Michigan, May 15.

Expected to make an impact as the team’s week-day starting pitchers are a trio of players from the Buckeye State, as right-handed hurlers Brett Cisper, Steve Weber and redshirt sophomore lefty Collin Taylor are all expected to contribute this season. Cisper could also contribute in the closer role. Taylor is coming off Tommy John surgery last season, but has impressed the coaching staff this off season and will look to make an immediate impact in 2010.

The Eagles also have a solid core of relievers coming back from a year ago, including senior right hander

Matt Skirving (pictured) split time between catcher, first base, and DH in 2009, earning first-team All-Region and All-MAC honors.

Junior Ken Battiston (pictured) missed all of last season with a torn ACL. He returns this season as the likely starter in right field.

Steve Young, who led the team with a 4.70 ERA in 17 appearances last year. Junior righty Tim Combs and senior left handed pitcher Kevin Sikora also return in 2010 and will see extended innings on the mound. True freshman Neil Butara could end up taking over closer duties after the departure of Kevin Wammes.

Pitching at some point during the season is junior Rob Wendzicki, who missed all of last season after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Wendzicki suffered another setback this offseason when he was unable to participate in summer league base-ball and fall workouts after a serious illness kept him off the field. Wendzicki, a 6-foot-1 lefty, has a 3-6 all-time record in 49.2 innings at EMU, including 10 career saves, nine of which came during the 2008 season (second most in a single season in EMU his-tory). If healthy, Wendzicki could also see time in the field at first base.

The ScheduleLike previous years, the Eagles will begin the season with several of the nation’s top teams on the sched-ule.

EMU begins its 2010 season in Lawrence, Kan. for three games against the No. 25 ranked Kansas Jay-hawks, Feb. 19-21, at Hoglund Ballpark. From there, the team treks to Mobile, Ala. for the Coke Classic, Feb. 26-28, where they take on host South Alabama, North Florida and perennial college baseball power-house Wichita State.

After a four-game set in Morgantown, W. Va., against the Mountaineers of West Virginia, March 19-21, Al-exander makes his return to a familiar place when the Eagles head to Detroit, Mich. to square off against the Wayne State Warriors, March 23. Alexan-der coached the Warriors from for six seasons (2003-08), where he recorded the most wins (34) in school history in his final season en route to GLIAC Coach of the Year honors and the conference title.

After compiling a 5-4 record against opponents from the Big Ten Conference last season, the Eagles have just four games against a pair of instate rivals from the Big Ten this season. EMU will square off against former Head Coach Jake Boss. Jr. and the Michigan State Spartans in Jacksonville, Ala., March 12, before beginning a three-game set against Jacksonville State. The Eagles and Spartans meet twice more in 2010, as EMU hosts MSU Friday, April 27, at Oestrike Stadium. A day later, the two teams play in East Lan-sing at 7:05 p.m. at Olds Park.

The Eagles will also battle the Wolverines from Mich-igan, March 30, at Ray Fisher Stadium in the battle of Washtenaw County. The Eagles and Wolverines met four times last season with each team taking two games. In their last meeting, EMU claimed an 11-5 win in game two of an afternoon doubleheader in Ann Arbor.

The Eagles return to the friendly confines of Oestrike Stadium, April 4, when the Falcons from Bowling Green invade Ypsilanti for a MAC three-game set. The Eagles will also play host to the defending MAC Tournament champion Golden Flashes from Kent State, April 9-11. EMU wraps up the regular season in Mount Pleasant, Mich., May 22-24, for a three-game series against rivals Central Michigan.

Like the previous two years, the 2010 MAC Tourna-ment will be held at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chilli-cothe, Ohio. In eight MAC Tournament appearances, the Eagles have an all-time record of 21-9, good for the best winning percentage (.700) among all MAC schools. In Chillicothe, the Eagles have an all-time mark of 6-2, which includes the 2008 MAC Tourna-ment title en route to a 2008 NCAA Regional appear-ance.

Junior Corey Chaffins (pictured) enters 2010 as EMU’s top starting pitcher. Chaffins earned second-team All-MAC honors in 2009 and was twice named the MAC West Pitcher of the Week.

EMU opens up the 2010 season with 26 consecutive road games before returning home for a three-game set with Bowling Green, April 2-4, at Oestrike Stadium.

Head Coach • Second Season • Wayne State, 1996 • 186-183 Career Record

Jay Alexander led the Eagles to a No. 7 seed in the MAC Tournament in his first year at the helm.

When Athletic Director Derrick Gragg hired Detroit native and for-mer Wayne State University head coach and standout player Jay Al-exander head baseball coach at Eastern Michigan University Aug. 8, 2008, he knew he was fit to carry on the winning tradition that has long been instilled in the EMU baseball program.

“When we started the process of searching for a new head baseball coach, the name Jay Alexander was at the top of our list,” Athletics Director Derrick Gragg said. “Coach Alexander had tremendous support from the entire base-ball community and we are excited that he will be here to continue the strong legacy of success our baseball program has built under previous head coaches Ron Oestrike, Roger Coryell, and Jake Boss.”

The 37-year-old (3-30-72) Alexander is just the fifth coach in EMU baseball history and is the program’s first African American head coach.

In his first season at EMU, Alexander led the Eagles to a third place finish in the Mid-American Conference West Division, earning a No. 7 seed in the MAC Tournament. Alexander led the Eagles to a 5-4 record against the Big Ten Conference, including wins over region-ally bound Ohio State and Indiana, as well as a three wins over in-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State. As a team, the 2009 Eagles hit 100 home runs – the most by any EMU team in a single season in school history. Alexander had three players earn All-MAC hon-ors in his first year, four Academic All-MAC selections, one player earn National Player of the Week honors, one All-Region selection and one player earn Academic All-American accolades. Alexander also had two players drafted in his first season, as junior Jim Gulliver was picked in the 20th round by the Detroit Tigers, while senior Kyle Rhoad was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 33rd round. Alexan-

der’s Eagles were also exemplary in the classroom in 2009, as EMU placed a league best four players on the Academic All-MAC squad, while Kyle Rhoad and Zack Leonard earned Academic All-District honors, with Rhoad earning Academic All-American accolades.

The eighth head coach in Wayne State history, Alexander saw his 2008 squad turn in one of the most memorable years in school his-tory in his final season. The Warriors recorded a school-record 34 wins, against just 19 losses, won the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) regular-season and made it all the way to the championship game of the NCAA Division II Regional Tour-nament. In addition, pitcher Anthony Bass and utility player Adam Kaminski were the first WSU players to earn All-American honors since the 1978 season.

During his six-year tenure, Alexander’s Wayne State teams averaged 27 wins a season. He was named GLIAC Coach of the Year twice, in both 2005 and 2008 and the Warriors qualified for the NCAA Divi-sion II Regional Championship in both of those seasons. He led the 2005 Warriors to the GLIAC regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the league tournament. That 2005 squad recorded 32 regular-sea-son victories to earn its first-ever trip to the NCAA Regional Champi-onship. In addition, shortstop Frank Jeney was named GLIAC Player of the Year.

In all, Alexander has coached 12 All-Region players, 37 All-GLIAC selections and has landed 71 on the GLIAC All-Academic squad. Under Alexander, Wayne State also had its first player sign a major league contract since 1999 when Randy Surratt joined the Chica-go White Sox organization after WSU’s 2003 season. Then in 2005, Steve Squires became the first Wayne State player to be selected in the Major League draft when the White Sox picked him in the 49th round. In 2008, Anthony Bass was selected by the San Diego Padres in the fifth round (165th pick overall).

A native of Detroit and graduate of Benedictine High School, Alex-ander was a standout shortstop and centerfielder at Wayne State from 1993-96. He led the Warriors in hits, runs scored, stolen bases and batting average while a senior and was nationally ranked in all of those categories. He was a two-time first-team All-GLIAC and All-Regional player that season.

Alexander stayed at Wayne State to serve as a baseball assistant under legendary head coach Rod George for five seasons before becoming the head coach in December 2002 when George passed away.

Alexander earned a bachelor’s degree in interdiscipline technology from WSU in 1996 before earning a master’s degree in human re-source management from Marygrove College in 2002.

Alexander and his wife, Kia, reside in Redford, Mich.

Prior to joining the Warrior staff, Maki served as the pitch-ing coach and recruiting coordinator for Henry Ford Commu-nity College. He contributed to the teams’ remarkable 15-win improvement from the previous season. The 2005 Hawks had a 3.90 ERA.

2009 SeCond-TeAM All-MAC • 2009 ACAdeMiC All-MAC


AWARD WINNING EAGLESKyle Rhoad was the lone Eagle to earn All-American honors, as the four-year letter-winner and team captain picked up third-team Academic All-American accolades after his impressive season. After leading all players with four homers in the MAC Tournament, Rhoad was named to the MAC All-Tournament team for the first time in his career. He also earned Academic All-MAC accolades to help EMU lead the conference with four selections. He was also named one of 30 national candidates for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, which honors excel-lence in four areas: classroom, character, community, and competition.

Matt Skirving earned first-team All-Region honors at designated hitter after an impres-sive 2009 campaign and was also a first-team All-MAC selection at the same posi-tion. Skirving led the Eagles with 64 RBI and was second on the team in home runs (16) and batting average (.348). He was named the MAC West Player of the Week, May 4, af-ter leading the Eagles to a pair of wins over Michigan State and Ball State.

Jim Gulliver and Corey Chaffins picked up second-team All-MAC accolades at the end of the season, and both players, along with Jordan Glover, collected MAC West Player of the Week honors a total of four times be-tween them during the regular season.

2009 season Review

Zack Leonard was named to the ESPN The Magazine second-team Academic All-Dis-trict at the end of the season and was also named the MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week, March 13, and was named to the MAC All-Tournament team after hitting .500 (8-for-16) in four games in Chillicothe.

Kevin Sikora also earned accolades during the regular season, as he was named the MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week, April 2, after pitching a gem at Michigan to lead the Eagles to a 3-1 win over the Wolverines.

BIG TEN SUCCESSThe Eagles went 5-4 against opponents from the Big Ten conference in 2009. EMU captured road wins against regionally bound Ohio State University and Indiana University, while collecting two wins over Michigan and one over Michigan State.

STARTING ON THE RIGHT TRACKThe Eagles won their first game of the sea-son for the first time since 2006, as EMU reg-istered a 5-4 win over George Washington in the Johnny Gill Memorial Tournament in Rock Hill, S.C. The 2006 Eagles claimed a 9-6 win over East Tennessee State, Feb. 3, 2006. In 2008, EMU dropped its season opener at New Mexico, 16-7. In 2007, the Eagles lost a nail-biter at then No. 19 Tennessee, 7-4.

<< HITTING THE CENTURY MARKThe 2009 Eagles had six players with 10 or more home runs, as the team totaled 100 round-trippers for the season – a school re-cord. Andrew Marshall led the way with 18, followed by Matt Skirving (16), Jim Gulliver (14), Kyle Rhoad (12), Todd Graves (11), and Wally Gerbus (10). Nationally, EMU ranked 14th with 100 homers.

WALLY WORLDWally Gerbus tied the Mid-American Confer-ence single-game home run record, April 8, at BGSU, as he cracked four homers in the Eagles’ 27-7 win over the Falcons. Gerbus finished the game 4-for-5 with four homers, five runs scored, and eight RBI. Gerbus’ 16 total bases against BGSU tie Andy Tracy and Brad Miller for the second most all time in MAC history. His eight RBI are tied with sev-eral former MAC players for the third most in a single game in conference history. He was named a “Louisville Slugger” National Player of the Week and picked up MAC West Player of the Week honors after his performance.

MARSHALL LAWAndrew Marshall blasted a team-best 18 home runs for the Eagles in 2009, the third most in a single season in EMU baseball his-tory. Marshall has slugged 27 round-trip-pers, good for tying him with Greg Anglin for seventh on the all-time list.

CONfERENCE TOURThe Eagles faced opponents from nine different conferences during the regular season, including the Atlantic 10 (George Washington, Dayton), Big South (Winthrop), Summit League (Oakland), Southeastern Conference (Florida), Big Ten (Indiana, Mich-igan State, Michigan, Ohio State), Horizon League (Cleveland State, Wright State), Co-lonial Athletic Association (Georgia State), Western Athletic Conference (Louisiana Tech) and several Mid-American Conference opponents.

OESTRIKE HONOREDLegendary EMU head baseball coach and EMU Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Ron Oestrike was honored at the Class of 2008 Hall of Fame ceremony last season when the E-Club honored him with a Distinguished Service Award for his contri¬butions to the University and the letter-winners club.

Zack Leonard and Jim Gulliver celebrate after Leonard’s two-run homer in the regular season finale against Cen-tral Michigan.



RHOAD RUNNER Kyle Rhoad finished his storied career at EMU in style, as he broke Brian Bixler and Greg Howe’s single season stolen base re-cord in the final home game of his career after tallying his 32nd stolen base of the season against Central Michigan, May 18. Rhoad finished his career with 66 stolen bases, good for third all-time. Rhoad fin-ished the season ranked 14th in the nation in stolen bases.

MULTITASKINGThe Eagles had four players tally 20 or more multiple hit games during the 2009 sea-son, as Zack Leonard led the way with 28, followed by Kyle Rhoad (25), Jim Gulliver (22), and Matt Skirving (20). Skirving led the Eagles in multiple-RBI games in 2009, tally-ing 18.

TURNING POINTAfter putting up a season-best 27 runs at Bowling Green, April 8, the Eagles scored a total of 255 runs in 30 games, about 8.5 runs per-game. Before April 8, EMU scored 129 runs in 29 games, averaging 4.4 runs per-contest. EMU posted a 6-23 record prior to the victory over BGSU. After, the Eagles tallied an 18-12 mark.

WINNING WAYSThe Eagles finished the season winning five MAC series’ in a row, earning a No. 7 seed in the MAC Tournament. The team won two out of three against MAC West champion Ball State, May 1-3, while taking two out of three on the road against MAC Tournament runner-up Toledo, May 8-10.

EAGLES IN THE DRAfTThe Eagles had two players picked in the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Play-ers Draft, as Jim Gulliver was selected in the 20th round (600th overall) by the Detroit Tigers, while Kyle Rhoad was picked in the 33rd round by the Texas Rangers. Includ-ing Gulliver, the Tigers have drafted 20 EMU players since 1969, while Rhoad is just the second EMU player, along with Mitch Zwol-ensky (1981), to be drafted by the Rangers.

HOME AWAY fROM HOMEIn his first two seasons at EMU, Zack Leon-ard has put up impressive numbers in at the MAC Tournament in Chillicothe, Ohio. After-being named the MAC Tournament MVP in

2007 and leading the Eagles to the tourna-ment title, Leonard earned All-Tournament honors last season after going 8-for-16 (.500) at the plate with one homer, a go-ahead three-run shot in the eighth inning of EMU’s 19-16 win over Ball State University, May 20.

fIRST-YEAR SUCCESSKendall Lewis found success early in his col-legiate career, as he tied for the team lead in wins with five, which included several key victories. Lewis allowed just one run in five innings of work to help lead EMU to a 9-5 win over the nationally ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio, May 12. Lewis carried this over into his next start, as he went seven and one-thirds innings, giving up just four runs (three earned) on nine hits to help lead the Eagles to a 13-4 win over Ohio in the MAC Tournament.

Jordan Glover also had a stellar first year for the Eagles, as his best start game against in-state rival Central Michigan University, May 15. Glover went eight innings and tallied a career-best nine strikeouts to help the Ea-gles claim a 5-0 win over the Chippewas at Oestrike Stadium. Glover’s shutout marked EMU’s first since the 2007 season. His nine strikeouts were the second most by an EMU pitcher during the 2009 season.

HOLDING LEADSWhen leading in the sixth inning, the Eagles posted a 23-1 mark in 2009. When leading in the eighth inning, the team registered a perfect 20-0 record.

GOING STREAKINGKyle Rhoad tallied EMU’s longest hitting streak of the season at 16 games. Todd Graves wasn’t far behind, tallying a 15-game streak during the season. Zack Leonard end-ed the season with a team-best five game hit streak and will carry it into the 2010 sea-son.

IN THE CLASSROOMEMU boasted a league best four players on the 2009 Academic All-MAC squad, as Kyle Rhoad, Zack Leonard, Matt Skirving and Corey Chaffins all picked up the honor. Rhoad and Leonard both earned Academic All-District accolades, with Rhoad picking up third-team Academic All-American hon-ors.

1970 naia naTional ChaMpions

The 1970 Eastern Michigan University baseball team did some-thing only a select few teams have done in the University’s 160 year history, as the Hurons won five out of six games to capture the 1970 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Na-tional Championship.

After defeating Lewis College in the NAIA Regionals, the Hurons advanced to the NAIA National Championship, where they took on Emporia State University in the opening round. The team was tested throughout the game, but going into the bottom of the eighth tied at 1-1, EMU first baseman Rocky Roe hit a sacrifice fly to score Terry Trott and give the Hurons a 2-1 lead, one they would not relinquish.

In the second round, the Hurons wasted no time getting on the board, as a four-run second inning, which included a three-run triple by third baseman Jeff Peck, helped EMU advance with a 4-2 win over New Haven.

In the third round, the Hurons had their first of three meetings with Northeast Louisiana. Facing a 4-3 deficit going into the late stages of the contest, EMU put up one in the seventh and two more in the eighth to take a 6-4 lead. The Hurons closed the door on NE Louisiana in the ninth to claim the win, as Terry Trott fin-ished 3-for-5 with two runs and five RBI, while Jeff Peck went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in the victory. The Hurons needed all nine innings to stay alive in the fourth round of the NAIA National Championship, as Roe singled home Peck and Dave Yeager in the top of the ninth to give EMU a 3-2 advantage. A solid relief effort by Jay Kuhnie helped EMU ad-vance to the fifth round, where it met NE Louisiana for the sec-ond time.

The Hurons tasted defeat for the first time in the NAIA Champi-onship, as the team couldn’t manage to capitalize on a total of eight NE Louisiana errors. Peck went 2-for-5 but the Hurons lost their first game, 7-6, on a three-run Rob Smith home run in the sixth inning.

But in one final meeting with NE Louisiana for all the marbles, the Hurons did not disappoint. Pitchers Roger Coryell and Woody Mills pitched nine shutout innings and Dave Smigielski provided all the offense the team would need, as his two-out RBI single in the ninth plated Roe to give Eastern Michigan the victory and the 1970 NAIA National title. It was the fouth time in the week-long, double elimination tournament that the Hurons had won a game in their final at-bat.

Peck was named the Tournament MVP after setting a national tournament mark at the plate, where he went 13-for-23 (.565) with three RBI. Eastern Michigan shortstop Terry Collins was named the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Tournament, as the Hurons finished the season with a 41-11 mark.

After the winning the title, Peck and Trott were selected as NAIA Topps All-Americans, and along with Tom Burkert, the three Hu-rons signed professional contracts. Burkert and Trott signed with the Cleveland Indians, while Peck inked a deal with the Philadel-phia Phillies. The Hurons finished the season winning 11 out of their last 13 games, including five one-run victories. Head Coach Ron Oestrike was named the Coach of the Year by the 400 voting members of the NAIA Coaches Association.

<< Glenn Gulliver (1973-76)Former EMU infielder Glenn Gulliver still ranks among the best players to ever don the Green and White, as he still holds the career record for walks (140) and ranks in the top 10 in triples and stolen bases. Gul-liver helped the Hurons to a pair of MAC titles and College World Series appearances during his tenure, including a runner-up finish in Omaha 1976. Gulliver was drafted in the eighth round of the 1976 MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers. His son, Jim, was drafted by the Tigers in the 20th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.

2009 aCadeMiC all-MaC


Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I confer-ences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 63-year history of the league this past March. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving for six years as the commis-sioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to cham-pionships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and most recently baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2008 with five schools participating in bowl games – Buffalo (In-ternational); Ball State (GMAC); Central Michigan (Motor City); Western Michigan (Texas); and North-ern Illinois (Independence Bowl). The 2008 season also saw the first MAC football team ranked in the Top 25 since 2003. Ball State was ranked as high as 12th in the BCS Standings, 12th in the AP and 13th in the USA Today Poll. The Cardinals were ranked in all three polls for 10 straight weeks. MAC football teams won a league record four games versus op-ponents from the Big Ten. Toledo became the first MAC team to ever beat Michigan in Ann Arbor; Ball State won its first-ever game against a Big Ten foe when the Cardinals beat Indiana; Central Michigan also defeated Indiana; and Western Michigan beat Illinois in a game played at Ford Field. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC signed an eight-year rights agreement through the 2016-2017 academic year for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal will be the most ex-tensive in the 63-year history of the conference. The new deal calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform in-cluding the men’s and women’s basketball champi-onships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Women’s athletics shined for the MAC this past year. For the first time in the history of the con-ference the MAC sent three teams to the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament (Miami, Ohio and Western Michigan). Western Michigan became only the third team to make it to the Sweet Sixteen (Ohio 2005 and Western Michigan 1983). In women’s bas-ketball MAC Tournament Champion Ball State up-set perennial national power Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA tournament handing the Lady Vols their first ever loss in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The victory was named “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” of the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, while first year head coach Kelly Packard was named Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year by the WBCA. Akron continued its dominance of MAC men’s soccer with its 11 regular-season championship to go along with its sixth MAC Tournament title – both league records.

History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The Mid-American Conference was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Colum-bus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, for football only.

In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competi-tive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the con-ference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, out-door track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis.

NCAA District/Regional Playoff Records(Note: Prior to 1954, district playoff games were not counted as a part of the NCAA national champion-ship. However, all district playoff games involving MAC teams are considered in the results but not in the standings. In 1977, Miami became the first MAC team to receive an at-large bid, and played in a district other than District Four. Also, the appearances by Ball State, Buffalo, Marshall and Northern Illinois came when the school’s were not members of the MAC but the records and results have been provided.)

Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apartments and include living/learning center options.

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, seven miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, techno-logical and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre main campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Recently named “A Cool City,” by Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, with the passage of Act No. 138, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves nearly 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, special-ist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to ap-plied education.

faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs 689 full-time faculty and 1,100 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many in-volve students in their research. In 2009, the University celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergraduate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community build-ing and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geograph-ically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic Impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3 billion annually reflects a return of more than $30 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $115 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.25 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Mission Statement Eastern Michigan University is committed to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and per-sonal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused

learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History When the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name has changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years.

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities even-tually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Entering her second year as the pres-ident of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a sig-nificant impact on the campus in her short time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 160-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, com-prehensive fundraising and earning the public’s trust. Under Martin’s guidance in 2008, EMU was again recognized as a “Best

Midwestern College” by The Princeton Review for the sixth straight year. Additionally, for the fifth consecutive year, The Princeton Review recog-nized Eastern’s College of Business as one of the “Best 296 Business Schools” in the nation. Eastern Michigan also was awarded a 2009 Michigan Historic Preservation Net-work’s (MHPN) Government/Institutional Award for its preservation of the Univer-sity’s core historic campus. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State Uni-versity, where she taught and published as a profes-

sor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of the master of tax-ation program, director of internation-al business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and executive as-

sociate vice president of academic af-fairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Af-fairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Lo-cal Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-1988. Martin is chair of the State of Michi-gan Hospital Finance Authority, originally appointed by former Gov. Blanchard and then reappointed by Governors Engler and Jennifer Gra-nholm. She also was appointed by Gov. Granholm to serve as her ex-officio representative on The Detroit Medical Center Financial Emergency Task Force in 2003-2004. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s de-gree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Infor-mation Systems Alumna of the Year Award.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athlet-ics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that educates student-ath-letes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institutional rules. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful compliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, adminis-trators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of ath-letics and the University to ensure EMU's compli-ance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institu-tional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, pro-• spective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to ensure • compliance with NCAA, MAC and institution-al rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eligibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateur-ism and agents);Investigating and reporting violations of • NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have:

Been a member of a booster organization • that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Ath-letic Club, E-Gridiron Group);Made any financial contributions to the ath-• letics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's athletics • program;Been a season ticket holder; or• Provided benefits to enrolled student-ath-• letes or their relatives or friends.

You can become a booster if you provide ben-efits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true:

The relationship between the athlete (or par-• ents of the athlete) and the individual pro-viding the benefits developed as a result of the athlete's participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete;The relationship began only after the athlete • become a prospect;The relationship began only after the athlete • had achieved notoriety due to his or her ath-letic ability or reputation;The pattern of benefits increased after the • athlete attained notoriety as a talented ath-lete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a stu-dent who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEfIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a pros-pect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any • other tangible item;A special discount, payment arrangement or • credit on any purchase or service;Loan of money or co-signing of loans;• A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transporta-• tion expenses;Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or • rentals;Entertainment on- or off-campus; or• Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.•

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boost-ers. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a vio-lation occurs, regardless of intention, it can:

Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and • current student-athletes; Result in the EMU athletics program being • penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and Cause you to lose benefits or privileges as-• sociated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-ath-letes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Dr. Melody Reifel Werner at 734.487.2327 or [email protected]. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at:

EMUEagles.com/compliance

While success on the field is important, success in the class-room is the number one priority. Student Athlete Support Ser-vices (SASS) is dedi-cated to the academic success of the Eagles. Led by Erin Burdis and her staff of coun-selors, SASS strives to

make sure every student-athlete finds academic success at Eastern. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the fol-lowing: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy, but with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the admissions office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, health services, the records office, financial aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

AcAdEMic sUccEss Entering the 2009-10 academic year, Eastern Michigan University student-athletes continue to excel on the playing field and in the classroom.

leads the women’s side with a 3.543. “We feel that academic achievement is the cor-nerstone of the student-athlete experience,” EMU director of athletics Derrick Gragg explained. “We are very proud of our student-athletes’ work in the classroom and will continue to support them as they move forward to reach the ultimate goal of graduating.” “Obviously, our staff and student-athletes work closely to make sure that a major emphasis is put on the academic success for our teams and this 2009 winter report is the proof that all of that hard work is paying off,” said Erin Burdis, EMU’s Director of Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS). “We are very happy with the results from this past semester and we expect that success to continue into the future.” Other highlights for the winter semester include: • 49 student-athletes with a 4.0 semester GPA • 275 student-athletes (58%) have a 3.0 or higher semester GPA • 13 teams have a 3.0 or higher GPA

stUdEnt-AthlEtE AdVisory coUncil Tying together all of the varsity sports at EMU is the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). Each varsity team is required to have at least one representative, while the larger teams normally volunteer several. This group of student-athletes meets monthly to discuss ways to better the student-athlete experience at EMU. It is the goal of SAAC to be the student-athlete voice to the athletic administration; provide a bridge between the student-athlete and the EMU community; undertake Student-Athlete Advi-sory Board projects, which will benefit student-athletes and the community; and to represent Eastern Michigan University student-athletes and what they represent. SAAC normally undertakes a few projects a year that benefit the surrounding community of Ypsi-

lanti. “Reading Eagles” takes place at elementary schools in the area, sending student-athletes to schools to talk and read to the children. The an-nual canned food drive run by SAAC takes place in the fall, providing competition between teams, all with the goal of helping the community. The trademark of SAAC is the annual lip-syn-ching and dance competition that is held every March. “Jock Jamz” pits varsity teams against each other, in a competition to see who can perform a better routine. Always a hit with the athletic and campus community, Jock Jamz has been a successful fund raiser, donating its proceeds to Operation Homefront. While SAAC does what it can to help support the community, it puts the student-athletes at EMU first. SAAC constantly looks for ways to increase student attendance at games, as well as provide better communication between profes-sors and student-athletes who have to miss class for competition. Directed by student-athletes who understand the issues that they face and want to make a difference, SAAC has become a very successful organization.

The EMU Athletic Club provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, the EMU Athletic Club raises funds in three key areas for EMU’s 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including compre-hensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles for Excellence Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join the EMU Athletic Club today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU.Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly,the bravest we’ll defy.... Rah,rah, rah!”

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.Sons and daughters show your might.So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

EMU Alma Mater

Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your name we shall be true.Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through,Softly floating on the breeze, verdant green with white of snow,This our banner we will carry in our hearts whe’er we go.

Go Green

Go Green, roll up the score.Go Green, let’s get some more.Raise a cheer for old Green and White.Let’s show them we came here to fight.Go Green, vic’try we’ll claim.Go Green, let’s win this game.We’ll always fight for old EMU.Come on and let’s go Green!

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

Head OrthopedicTeam Physician

Wally Roeser, M.D.

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the depart-ment continues to grow, its primary mis-sion remains the same.

More than 500 student-athletes partici-pating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expan-sive sports medicine team.

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Wally Roeser and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two pri-mary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized ser-vices for our student-athletes.

At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facili-tate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well.

The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Each of the athletic training facilities con-tain taping and practice preparation areas, treatment and rehabilitative equipment, and physician exam areas that allow for daily, on-campus physician care for athletic injuries and illnesses. Our facilities provide an appropriate environment for the care of our student-athletes and serves as a proper clinical education venue for our athletic

training students In the fall of 1997, the Athletic Education

Training Program became accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Students who are accepted into the education program must demonstrate not only excellence in the athletic training room, but in the classroom as well.

The academic workload of the edu-cation program is based heavily in the sciences and includes courses in human anatomy, physiology, physics, chemistry, biomechanics, kinesiology and exercise physiology. Academic and clinical instruc-tors monitor the athletic training students as they progress through the required course work which includes five clinical experience courses. In their final semester each athletic training student completes a 15-week internship at an affiliated intern-ship site. Upon completion of the program, all athletic training students must pass the national certification examination prior to advancing into their careers or continu-ing on in their education as an athletic trainer.

It is our ongoing mission to constantly re-evaluate the roles and responsibilities of our program in order to best exceed the expectations and needs of our student population. The interaction between the sports medicine staff, the student-athletes and the athletic training education pro-gram creates a productive atmosphere which enhances both the student-athlete experience and athletic training students’ clinical education.

An eagle by definition is a large bird of prey noted for its strength, size, keenness of vision and powers of flight. These are skills that can only develop in the right setting and environment. At Eastern Michigan University, it is the job of the strength and conditioning coach to guide student-athletes down the path that will help them develop those and other skills that will allow them to excel in competition. The main focus of the EMU strength and con-ditioning program is to develop the complete student-athlete. This is achieved through a pro-gram that is not based solely on weight training, but rather on the development of all aspects of athletic performance. Everything that is incorpo-rated into the training program is geared towards enhancing success on the playing field. Areas of focus include speed, agility, strength, quickness, flexibility, explosive power, sports nutrition and mental toughness. One major area of focus is the development of running speed and quickness. Great focus is placed on strength development, flexibility and proper running mechanics. The goal is to produce strong physical athletes who improve their foot speed and quickness. While every athletic program lifts during the year, EMU student-athletes will also participate in year-round conditioning. The strength and con-ditioning staff push the student-athletes to excel throughout a continually physical and mentally demanding program. Eastern Michigan believes in highly competi-tive athletes who should never get out-of-shape. Workouts are intense and designed to challenge student-athletes to surpass levels they have not yet achieved. Because of this aggressive training, EMU has helped develop not only a physically tougher athlete, but also a mentally tougher one who excels in competition. The goal is simple ... to be the best conditioned and physically toughest team in the country.

Physically developing student-athletes is a year-round endeavor. During the season, football players at EMU will spend as much time with the strength and conditioning coaches as they do on the field with their position coaches. A highly motivated athlete is a program’s great-est asset. Eastern Michigan strives for excellence both mentally and physically. EMU student-athletes have individual goal meetings prior to each segment of training. Short and long-term goals are set and the strength and conditioning staff works diligently to achieve them. Athletes at EMU are second to none in terms of their hard work and effort. Student-athletes work hard, but have fun in the process. The camaraderie and work ethic they develop in the weight room carries over directly to their success in competi-tion. Strength and conditioning at EMU is a full-time commitment. There is no such thing as being a part-time champion. At EMU, the eventual goal of all athletes is to be successful on the Mid-American Conference and national level. Through our hard work and commitment to excellence, we believe we can achieve that goal.”

strEngth trAining This is the foundation of all of our training. Improvements in all areas begin here. We use systematic periodic planning when developing our strength program. We use many compound movements and isolate muscle groups with machines and specific dumbbell exercises. We focus on working many different joint angles. We use as many different training variables and a mix of training philosophies to attain our goals. By training in this manner we can avoid being one-dimensional which will help us eliminate plateaus and staleness in training. Core lifts include: bench press, squat and hang clean. Many injury prevention exercises are implemented as well.

sPEEd And Agility Eastern Michigan believes speed and agility drills should be utilized every time we work out. We incorporate some form of speed or agility drills into every workout. The reason for this philosophy is to provide constant reinforcement so that we can achieve maximum speed and quickness. Speed and agility is separated into long and short distances. Several examples of speed drills include resistant runs with harnesses and chutes, stance and start drills, running mechanics, form running and competitive sprints. Some of our agility drills include: cone drills, speed ladders, dot and t-drills, 20-yard shuttles, ladder runs, reactive drills, jump rope and quick feet drills.

conditioning Eastern Michigan believes that great student-athletes should never get out-of-shape and because of that we condition year-round. Of course, the intensity of the conditioning will be dictated by what we are doing during that period of training or at that point in the season. During the season, conditioning will be short and brief as it will be during the winter conditioning period. During the summer preseason training period, conditioning will be very intense as we prepare for the season and as we acclimate for the heat of two-a-day practices during August. Forms of conditioning include: 1.5 mile run, 110-yard sprints, step down sprints ranging in distances from 100 yards to 10 yards, position specific conditioning, gassers and half gassers, and 300-yard shuttle and ladder runs. All conditioning runs have goal times that the student-athletes must meet.

goAl sEtting And EVAlUAtion Student-athletes will set individual goals for the end of winter conditioning, summer conditioning and the post-season. Each athlete has his own personal goal booklet to monitor gains. The goals are used as a method of monitoring the student-athlete and providing them with a target to attain in training to help improve their performance on the field. Student-athletes will be tested three times a year. These tests help our staff evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Testing will include the following at various points in the year: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jump, 1.5-mile run, 16 x 110 yard sprints, 15 second bag jumps, 20-yard shuttle, 10-yard sprint, 225-lb bench press reps max, body fat percentage, sit and reach flexibility, height and weight.
