OESTRIKE STADIUM Oestrike 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 appear-ances. 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 history. Improvements to Oestrike Stadium have been ongoing since 1988, starting with the addition of the press box be-hind 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 im-provements, 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 ex-panded and drinking fountains were installed. The aesthetics of Oestrike Stadium have been addressed, beginning 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 commemorative 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 Spring-steen 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 2011, Oestrike Stadium will celebrate its 40th anniver-sary and future plans include the addition of a permanent concessions stand and the continued extension of the dugouts.

2010 ouTlook 2010 ouTlookLast May, the seventh-seeded Eagles made an impressive run through the 2010 Mid-Ameri-can Conference Tournament only to fall short in the semifinal round to eventual champion Kent State, but Eastern Michigan returns 19 letterwinners, including seven position start-ers, and nearly its entire pitching staff to make yet another run in 2011.

The team had one player selected in last year’s MLB First-Year Players Draft as Matt Skiving was taken in the 30th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Other key departures include catcher Andrew Marshall, infielders Aaron Crooks and Todd Graves, as well as, pitchers Kevin Sikora and Steve Young.

Third-year Head Coach Jay Alexander is opti-mistic about the new bat standards, which will place more of an emphasis on speed and hit-ting into the gaps as they are designed to act more like a wood bat.

“I’m a little bit nervous, not so much for us, but for the teams that get the big crowds who like the home runs and high scoring games,” Alex-ander said. “I think we are prepared and our pitching fits that mold for the new bat. It fits to our advantage and equalizes the playing field, giving us a better opportunity.”

Alexander is most excited about the team’s schedule as they begin with a three-game se-ries against the nationally-ranked No. 4 Clem-son Tigers to open the season, Feb. 18-20.

“It’s the toughest since I’ve been here,” Alexan-der said of the schedule. “We’ll arguably play two top-10 teams and potentially three top-25 teams this year to go along with an always challenging Mid-American Conference sched-ule.”

The 2011 season also brings to light the 40th Anniversary of Oestrike Stadium, named in honor of the legendary Ron Oestrike, who was the first and last skipper to lead the baseball

program to a college world series appearance, placing in 1975 before finishing as national runners-up in 1976.

Behind the DishDespite losing the team’s best power hitter in Marshall and lone draft pick in Skirving, who combined to hit .333 with five homers and 20 RBI in 41 games at the catcher position last year, the Eagles add some promising pieces in hopes of replacing the offense and defense lost there.

Junior college transfers Kyle Peterson, project-ed to be the starter, and Matt Hitt, a backup who should see time at DH as well, will enter into the fold in an effort to fill the void.

“Peterson is a talent and a half,” Alexander said. “He runs under a seven-second 60, can throw 92 off the mound and has probably our best power with the bat.”

Meanwhile, Hitt is the type of guy who can, well, hit. He is also a good catch-and-throw type which hindered the Eagles at times last year as opponents stole 93 bases in just 106 attempts for an 87 percent success rate.

Around the HornBen Magsig opened some eyes around the MAC as he hit .331 to lead the team in his first season with the Eagles and will enjoy his sec-ond season at the hot corner in 2011. The ju-nior had the second-best on-base percentage in the MAC a year ago, getting on at a .495-clip, but played in only 42 of the team’s 59 games due to a hand injury that cut his season short. Healthy once again, Magsig should improve on his numbers from a year ago.

“With these new bats, I think this is his game now,” Alexander said. “He could hit .350 with an on-base percentage around .500 again.”

An Academic All-MAC selection for the second time, senior Zack Leonard, will resume at sec-ond base where he successfully transitioned from the hot corner a year ago and was named Defensive Player of the Year by his teammates after posting a .968 fielding percentage. He’s been Mr. Consistency at the plate, making a name for himself among the EMU all-time greats. With 228 hits through his first three seasons, Leonard is on pace to overtake Der-rick Peterson’s school record of 274 career hits. He ranks high in several other categories as well, including third in doubles (45) and fifth in RBI (138).

“The one thing you can expect from him is that he’ll hit .300,” Alexander said. “If we can get him to hit .360 with 40-50 RBI, that’s what I’m hoping he can do with a breakout year and he’ll possibly play at the next level.”

There will be a new face at shortstop this year

as junior college transfer Tucker Rubino as-sumes the role. Rubino played in a team-high 53 games in 2010 and batted .353 (67-for-190) with 18 doubles, 34 runs scored and 30 RBI, earning first-team All-Conference and All-Re-gion honors. He’s projected to bat third in the lineup for the Eagles this season.

A viable candidate for anyone’s Comeback Player of the Year award would have to be Rob Wendzicki, who battled back from Tommy John Surgery before suffering a rare case of salmonella poisoning that nearly ended his hopes of playing baseball again. The senior made 15 appearances and posted a 1.93 ERA out of the pen last season and is now slated to be a two-way player, starting for the Eagles’ at first base while serving as the No. 2 starter on the mound.

The OutfieldKen Battiston, Brent Ohrman and Bo Kinder are in line to start from left-to-right as Wally Gerbus and Daniel Russell will also be battling it out for playing time. Kinder came up huge for the Eagles in the 2010 MAC Tournament, blasting a walk-off homer against Toledo to send EMU to the semifinal round. Battiston is someone that Alexander is looking to have a breakout year.

“We’re hoping for him to step up,” Alexander said. “He’s been inconsistent, but has all five tools and is one of the best athletes on the team. He’s got it all and if he breaks out this year then that will put us over the top to get us where we want to be.”

On the MoundKendall Lewis put together an impressive sophomore campaign in 2010 with his most impressive start being an 11-inning shutout against Western Michigan, April 24, when he struck out 10 en route to three national pitcher

Zack Leonard (pictured) played his first full season at second base in 2010 and was solid defensively, posting a fielding percentage of .968.

Junior Brent Ohrman (pictured) batted .282 with 31 runs scored and 16 RBI in 2010, while leading the Eagles with 11 stolen bases.

of the week honors and a MAC West Pitcher of the Week award. As a starter, he posted a 7-4 record with a 4.21 ERA, striking out 62 batters in 83.1 innings. He was an Academic All-MAC selection, the lone first teamer for the Eagles on the All-MAC squad and has earned the role as staff ace this year.

Last year’s ace and this year’s unanimous se-lection for team captain, Corey Chaffins, led the league in innings pitched (104.1) and strikeouts (96), fanning an average of 8.28 per nine innings. The senior defeated 25th-ranked Kansas in the season opener with a complete game victory, but will transition into the staff’s closer in 2011. He could still see some action in the starting rotation as Alexander will uti-lize his willingness and versatility in the team’s best interest.

“He just knows how to pitch and expects how to win,” Alexander said. “He’s adapted to the role and actually really wanted it. We think he’ll have a chance to get drafted higher if he does well.”

Wendzicki, set to be this year’s Saturday start-er, posted a 3-1 record and a 2.27 ERA in 16 appearances, striking out 38 batters in 35.2 in-nings while holding hitters to a slim average of .230 for the Folsom Pioneers last summer.

Steve Weber and Collin Taylor will be in the mix for mid-week starting roles while Tim Combs, Joe Battistelli, Neil Butara, Jordan Glover and Taylor Dimmerling will assume the majority of the bullpen duties.

The ScheduleFor the second straight year, the Eagles will open the season with a ranked opponent, taking on fourth-ranked Clemson to open the 2011 campaign, Feb. 18-20, after splitting a doubleheader with 25th-ranked Kansas last year at the Metrodome.

From there, the team heads to Lexington, Ky. for a mid-week game against the Wildcats, Feb. 23, before kicking off its spring break trip with series against Tennessee Tech, Presby-terian, Austin Peay and Alabama A&M. From March 11-13, the Eagles and Jayhawks will meet again, this time a three-game series in Lawrence, Kan.

EMU will host the inaugural running of the Oestrike Classic set for March 18-20. The Eagles will play Alma once and Oakland three times during the event, the start of a 22-game home schedule for the Green and White.

The Eagles will then head to West Virginia for a two-game set March 22-23, having dropped a series to them last despite beating the Moun-taineers, 23-0, in the second game of the se-ries.

EMU will have 15 Mid-American Conference home dates this season, beginning with the Buffalo, March 25-27, and concluding with the final series of the regular season which will see Central Michigan come to Oestrike Stadium. In between, the Eagles will host Akron, Ball State and Northern Illinois while hitting the road against Bowling Green, Kent State, Western Michigan and Toledo.

Other notable non-conference opponents in-clude home-and-home series with Michigan, Michigan State and Cleveland State, as well as a two-game series at Louisville, May 3-4.

Like the previous three seasons, the 2011 MAC Tournament will be held at V.A. Memorial Sta-dium in Chillicothe, Ohio. In nine MAC Tourna-ment appearances, the Eagles have an all-time record of 23-11, good for the best winning percentage (.676) among all MAC schools. In Chillicothe, the Eagles have an all-time mark of 8-4, which includes the 2008 MAC Tourna-ment title en route to a 2008 NCAA Regional appearance.

Junior Kendall Lewis (pictured) enters 2011 as EMU’s top starting pitcher. Lewis earned First Team All-MAC honors last season, winning three na-tional pitcher of the week awards and one MAC weekly honor.

EMU has 22 regular season home dates scheduled in 2011, the most since 2007 when they played 27 regular season games at Oestrike Stadium on the way to a runner-up finish in the MAC Tournament.

Head Coach • Third Season • Wayne State, 1996 • 213-215 Career Record

Jay Alexander has led the Eagles to a No. 7 seed in the MAC Tournament in each of his first two seasons at the helm.

The 2011 season will mark the third season for Jay Alexander as Eastern Michigan University’s head baseball coach. Prior to joining the program in 2008, Alexander spent seven years as the head baseball coach at Wayne State University.

“When we started the process of searching for a new head baseball coach, the name Jay Alexander was

at the top of our list,” Athletic Direc-tor Derrick Gragg said. “Coach Alexander had tremendous support from the entire baseball community and we are excited that he will be here to continue the strong legacy of success our baseball pro-gram has built under previous head coaches Ron Oestrike, Roger Coryell, and Jake Boss.”

The 38-year-old Alexander (3-30-72) becomes the first African-American head coach in EMU baseball history.

In 2010, Alexander led the Eagles to two more wins than the previ-ous year, with the team again earning the No. 7 seed in the MAC Tournament, where they finished with a 2-2 mark. Overall, Alexan-der had one first-team All-MAC selection in Kendall Lewis, who also earned four national player of the week awards during the regular season. As a whole, the 2010 Eastern Michigan pitching staff re-corded 387 strikeouts – the most by any team in school history. The previous record was held by the 1975 EMU baseball team that fin-ished fifth at the College World Series. Alexander’s Eagles also got it done in the classroom, with junior Corey Chaffins earning ESPN The Magazine second-team All-District IV honors.

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 re-cord against the Big Ten Conference, including wins over regionally 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 honors in his first year, one player earn National Player of the Week honors, 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 also performed well in the classroom, as EMU placed a league best four players on the 2009 Academic All-MAC squad.

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. 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 champion-ship game of the NCAA Division II Regional Tournament. In addi-tion, 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, Alexander was a standout shortstop and cen-terfielder 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 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 and his wife, Kia, and newborn daughter, Ryleigh, reside in Redford, Mich.

40-YEAR ANNIVERSARYThe 2010 season marked the 40-year an-niversary of Eastern Michigan’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 Tourna-ment MVP for the Hurons, who won four games in their final at bat in the week-long tournament.

DOME DANCEOriginally scheduled to be a three-game series in Lawrence, Kan., the Eagles opened the 2010 season at the Metrodome in Min-neapolis against the No. 25 ranked Kansas Jayhawks for a doubleheader, Feb. 22. EMU claimed a 3-1 victory in game one behind a stellar pitching performance from junior ace Corey Chaffins, and dropped game two, 9-5, after costly walks late in the game proved to be too much to overcome.

STARTING ON THE RIGHT FOOTCorey Chaffins picked up his first win of the season in impressive fashion against 25th-ranked Kansas, Feb. 22, tallying eight strike-outs in seven innings of work, while allow-ing just one run on three hits in the Eagles’ 3-1 victory. Chaffins was named the MAC West Pitcher of the Week and was named to CollegeBaseball360.com’s “Primetime Per-former Weekly Honor Roll” for his efforts.

CLIMBING THE CHARTSInfielder Zack Leonard tallied a team-best 70 hits last season. In three seasons, Leon-ard has 228 hits, putting him sixth all-time

in EMU baseball history. Leonard passed for-mer EMU All-American Byron Horn (1978-81) during the 2010 MAC Tournament to claim fifth place on the all-time hits list. With a team-best 53 RBI and 139 in his ca-reer, Leonard also passed EMU Athletic Hall of Famer Chris Hoiles for fifth place all-time.

MARSHALL LAWAndrew Marshall finished his career with 37 home runs, good for third all-time in EMU baseball history. His 130 RBI are good for seventh all-time in EMU baseball history.

TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAMZack Leonard was hit by a team-high 17 pitches last season and also drew 15 walks to record a .385 on-base percentage, good for fourth on the team behind Ben Magsig (.495), Todd Graves (.404) and Andrew Mar-shall (.399).

A QUICK ONEThe Eagles played their shortest game of the 2010 season when they defeated Western Michigan, April 23, as the contest lasted just one hour and 55 minutes. Conversely, the Eagles’ longest game of the season came at Jacksonville State, March 14, clocking in at three hours and 34 minutes.

CLOSING TIMEThe Eagles haven’t had many problems clos-ing out opponents this season, as the team finished the year 23-3 when leading after the eighth inning. Freshman Brett Cisper and junior Tim Combs led the Eagles with four saves apiece, while freshman Joe Bat-tistelli tallied three saves. Freshman Taylor Dimmerling recorded two saves last season and freshman Steve Weber had one save.

FIFTH INNING FIREWORKSThe Eagles have had no problem scoring runs in the fifth inning in 2010, as they out-scored their opponents 55-30. Conversely, the team was out-scored, 52-25, in the sec-ond inning last season.

WHAT A COMEBACKLeft-hander Rob Wendzicki pitched for the first time since the 2008 season at Cleveland State, March 24, 2010. He came in the game in the top of the ninth with one runner on and got the first batter he faced to ground into a double play before ending the game with a strikeout. Wendzicki missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery and spent most of the summer and fall sidelined due to an off-season illness.

THE BIG UNITRight-hander Steve Weber led the Eagles to a pair of non-conference wins with solid ef-forts on the mound. He pitched seven and two-thirds innings and tallied 10 strikeouts at Cleveland State, March 24, en route to MAC West Pitcher of the Week accolades. In his last start at Oakland, April 14, Weber went five innings and gave up just one run on four hits and one walk, while fanning five batters to earn the win.

MULTITASKINGAndrew Marshall tallied a team-best 23 multiple hit games last season. Just behind Marshall, junior Zack Leonard notched 20 multiple hit games in 2010.

ON THE HILLAfter starting the season 0-2 with an 11.81 ERA, Kendall Lewis went 7-2 the rest of the way while lowering his ERA to a slender 4.21 clip. Lewis went 62 days between losses to Jacksonville State on March 14 and Toledo, May 15. He finished the season with a 7-4 record with 62 strikeouts against 37 walks.

GOING STREAKINGTwice during the 2010 season, Aaron Crooks strung together hitting streaks of 10 games or more. He put together his longest such streak late in the season, a career-high 12-gamer that spanned from April 30-May 25 in which he went 14-for-45 at the plate for a .331 batting average.

A PAINFUL RECORD SETTING MARKAs a team, the Eagles were hit by 74 pitches last season – the most by any EMU team in school history. The 2008 EMU baseball team was hit by 64 pitches. Zack Leonard was hit by a team-high 17 times in 2010, followed by Ben Magsig (10).

TRANSFERS TO EMUThe Eagles have six transfers on the team this season. Ben Magsig, Bo Kinder, and Aar-on Chavez each began their first season for the Eagles after solid seasons at the junior college level. Brian Valente came to the Ea-gles in 2010 from Saginaw Valley State, but had to sit out the season due to NCAA trans-fer rules. Magsig had a stellar season at Lan-sing C.C. last season, winning the Division II Junior College batting title after hitting .557 with a .710 on-base percentage, while tally-ing three homers, nine doubles, four triples, and 31 RBI. Magsig was also named an Aca-demic All-American.

CONFERENCE TOURThe Eagles took on opponents from 10 dif-ferent conferences last season. The confer-ences include the Mid-American Conference (nine teams), Horizon League (Oakland and Cleveland State), Sun Belt (South Alabama and Arkansas-Little Rock), Big Ten (Michigan and Michigan State), Atlantic Sun (Belmont and North Florida), Great Lakes Intercolle-giate (Wayne State), Big East (West Virginia), Missouri Valley (Wichita State), Big 12 (Kan-sas) and the Ohio Valley (Jacksonville State).

WALK THIS WAYBen Magsig walked 36 times last season, the most by an EMU player. Magsig’s 36 free passes are the 15th-most in a single season in EMU baseball history. Former Huron and current Bowling Green Head Coach Danny Schmitz holds the all-time single season walks record with 52, accomplished in 1976. Magsig finished 2010 with a MAC-best .495 on-base percentage (t-49th in the nation).

23-RUN SALUTEThe Eagles’ 23-0 victory over the West Virgin-ia University Mountaineers, March 20, 2010 was the largest margin of victory versus a Division I opponent in school history. The Eagles claimed a 21-run win over Ball State University, March 7, 1986 and over Trinity, March 22, 1979. For West Virginia, the loss is the worst defeat at home in Mountaineer history. The 23-run performance also marks the second time the Eagles have posted 20+ runs under Jay Alexander. The first time was last season when the Eagles claimed a 27-7 win over Bowling Green, April 8, 2009. GOING THE DISTANCECorey Chaffins went all nine innings to notch his MAC-best fifth complete game of the season last weekend versus Toledo. In 2010, Chaffins pitched 104.1 innings and tallied 96 strikeouts. In three seasons, Chaf-fins has tallied 207 strikeouts, tied with Bud Yanus (‘79) for seventh all-time in EMU base-ball history. His 96 strikeouts for a single sea-son registered fifth all-time, one more than Jeff Fischer from 2007. In his career, Chaffins has pitched 204.1 innings, good for 16th all-time in EMU baseball history.

IN THE CLASSROOMEMU boasted a league best three players on the 2010 Academic All-MAC squad, as Zack Leonard, Corey Chaffins and Kendall Lewis each picked up the honor. Chaffins earned Academic All-District accolades as well.

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.

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. The Zips were ranked as high as No. 2 during the season and reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Northwestern, 1-0. Steve Zakuani, who helped

guide the University of Akron men’s soccer program to a record-setting campaign in 2008, was the first overall pick of the 2009 Major League Soccer Super Draft. Zakuani earned 2008 MAC Men’s Soccer Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy, which goes to the best men’s soccer player in the country. The conference now has national leadership po-sitions on the following NCAA committees: Warde Manual, Buffalo (Academic Cabinet); Susan Lipnick-ey, Miami (Leadership Council and Infractions Ap-peals); Derrick Gragg, Eastern Michigan (Legislative Council); Dr. John Peters, Northern Illinois (Board of Directors); Tom Collins, Ball State (Amateurism Cabinet); Kelly Andrews, Toledo (Awards, benefits, Expenses & Financial Aid Cabinet); Stephannnie Harvey-Vandenburg, Eastern Michigan (Recruit-ing & Athletic Personal Issues Cabinet); Brad Bates, Miami (Academic Performance); Eileen Jennings, Central Michigan (Infractions); Ted McKown, Kent State (International Students Records); Jim Klein, Toledo (Legislative Review & Interpretations); Karin Lee, Ball State (Minority Opportunities and Interest); Melody Reifel Werner, Eastern Michigan (Research); Catharine Marsszeky, Kent State (Student-Athlete Advisory); Lee Merserve, Bowling Green (Walter By-ers Scholarship). The MAC also has representation on Division I Sport Committees and related governing groups: Cathy O’Donnell, Kent State (Field Hockey); Dave Heeke, Central Michigan (Football Issues); Marling “Newt” Engle, Akron (Rifle); Karin Lee, Ball State (Tennis); Rich Ceronie (Track & Field); Laing Ken-nedy, Kent State (Men’s Basketball); Charlie Coles, Miami (Men’s Basketball Issues); Jim Schaus, Ohio and Reggie Witherspoon, Buffalo (Men’s Basketball Rules); Steven Cady, Miami (Men’s Ice Hockey); Mary Lu Gribschaw, Akron (Men’s Soccer); Greg Christo-pher, Bowling Green (Women’s Basketball); Anucha Brown-Sanders, Buffalo and Donyale Canada, MAC (Women’s Basketball Issues); Curt Miller, Bowling Green (Women’s Basketball Rules); Jerry Reighard, Central Michigan (Gymnastics); Matt Wolfert, Ball State (Women’s Soccer); Dee Abrahamson, North-ern Illinois (Women’s Softball Rules); Derek van der Merwe, Central Michigan (Wrestling). From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defen-sive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), British Open winner Ben Curtis (Kent State Universi-ty), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member

Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in produc-ing leaders in the world of athletics.

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. Com-prising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State Uni-versity (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio Uni-versity (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois Univer-sity (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). 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. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnas-tics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field 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.)

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, technological 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 exclu-sive 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 Uni-versity, 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, specialist, 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 applied 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 involve students in their research. In 2009, the Uni-versity celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate 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 com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity 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 geographically-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.

easTeRn MiChigan univeRsiTyMission Statement

Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted 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 na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral 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. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Educa-tion Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003) and the Student Center (2006).

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 com-munity 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 eventually 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 work-ers.

Entering her third year as the presi-dent 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 161-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. Martin is married and has three chil-dren.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institu-tional rules. The commitment to compliance en-sures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful com-pliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, 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 athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, • prospective student-athletes, current stu-dent-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to ensure • compliance with NCAA, MAC and institu-tional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eli-gibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism 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:

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 student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered pros-pects. 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 transpor-• tation 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 ben-efit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation 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 • associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privi-leges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. 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

Student-Athlete Support Services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. 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 following: 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 sup-port. 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 as-sistance 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.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the educa-tion 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 department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services 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 facilitate 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.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning The main focus of the EMU strength and conditioning program is to develop the complete student-athlete. Everything that is incorporated into the training program relates to success on the court. The program is not just about lifting weights, but rather the development of all aspects of athletic performance. These areas include speed, strength, quickness, agility, flexibility, explosion, sports nutrition and mental toughness. One of the main objectives of the program is to improve the players’ agility and speed. The goal is to develop stronger and more physical student-athletes without losing speed or flexibility. With that in mind, our staff focuses on improving strength in the “Power Zone.” Abdominal, lower back and hip strength are crucial for an athlete’s success. Increas-ing strength in these areas decreases the chance and severity of injury and assists in strength and power development. EMU athletes are pushed as much as possible to prepare for competition. The athletes are challenged through physically demanding and intense workouts year-round. The athletes are also challenged during each workout with some type of mental toughness/physical challenge. We train not only the physical side of the student-athlete, but also the mental and competitive side. While everyone lifts weights during the year, EMU Eagle student-athletes will also condition. This places us as one of the best conditioned teams in the country each year. Our goal is simple: Be the best conditioned/most physical team in the country. A highly motivated athlete is a program’s most valuable asset. Everyone in the country works on developing their athletes from the neck down, but at EMU, our program strives for excellence both mentally and physically. Our staff works to develop long-term and short-term goals for success. We work closely with the athletes so we know exactly what they are doing and what they need to do to improve. Developing athletes is a year-round task for our strength staff. During the year, the athletes will spend almost as much time in the weight room as they do on the court. Strength and Conditioning at EMU is a full-time commitment. There is no such thing as part-time champions. EMU athletes work hard but have fun. The camaraderie and work ethic developed in the weight room carry onto the field.

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 Fight Song

“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.
