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 473 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.

A WINNING TRADITION

Construction on an all new brick facing will give Oestrike Stadium a revived feel for the 2012 campaign.

OESTRIKE STADIUM 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 in the fall of 2006, 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 more than 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 celebrated its 40th anniversary. The ballpark is currently undergoing renovations which include the addition of bricks along the outside structure of the stadium as well as a new outfield fence.

2010 ouTlook 2012 ouTlookThe 2011 season was one of new highs for the Eastern Michigan University baseball team, as the Eagles won 37 games; the most since the 1982 campaign. The Eagles combined to hit .298 over 59 contest to lead the Mid-American Conference in team batting average. At the MAC Tournament, the Green and White reached the semifinals as the No. 5 seed, beating Northern Illinois twice and Kent State once before ulti-mately falling to the Golden Flashes.

Eastern Michigan returns 19 letterwinners for the 2012 campaign, including seven position starters and eight pitchers. The team also wel-comes 12 newcomers to the squad.

Fourth year Head Coach Jay Alexander’s squad will open the season with 17 road games be-ginning with the USC Upstate Tournament, Feb. 17-19, and will travel to nationally-ranked Arizona for a three-game set before returning to Ypsilanti for the home opener, March 16, against Niagara.

“We have lots of confidence this year and our team expectations are extremely high,” said Alexander. “As long as we play as a team every game I like our chances in our conference.”

Behind the DishThe Eagles enter this season with several viable options at the catcher position in senior Matt Hitt and redshirt freshman Adam Dennison. Hitt begins his second year with the Eagles after starting behind the plate in 34 games in 2011, when he hit .239 and committed just two de-fensive errors for a .992 fielding percentage.

With the departure of Kyle Peterson, Dennison will have an opportunity to compete for play-ing time after spending his first season on the bench as a redshirt.

Around the HornBen Magsig played his first full season with EMU in 2011 after a hand injury cut his time short in 2010. In 58 games, Magsig hit at a .316/.410/.432 clip as the team’s starting third

baseman. A middle-of-the-lineup hitter, the se-nior will once again be called on to get on base and drive in runs for an already-potent EMU lineup.

“Ben is an experienced player with the ability to have the kind of season that Zack Leonard had last year,” Alexander stated. “He will play a major role on our team.”

Perhaps the most glaring omission from the starting lineup in 2012 will be Zack Leonard, who was best known for his consistency at the plate. Leonard broke the all-time career hits record for an EMU player last season, finishing with 315 knocks.

A pair of fresh faces, Austin Williams and John Rubino, will be pressed into duty at second base to attempt to fill the offensive and defen-sive void left by Leonard’s absence, with Wil-liams slated to pick up a majority of the slack.

Williams, a transfer from Fort Scott Community College, played two seasons with the Grey-hounds and was named to the All-Conference squad on both occasions. The infielder was an offensive machine, driving in a team-best 55 RBI in 51 games average and registered 1.012 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

“Austin brings more experience to the team to complement what we already have,” said Alex-ander. “He is expected to jump in and fill the big shoes of Leonard.”

Team co-captain Tucker Rubino returns from a solid first year as the team’s starting shortstop. Rubino hit .263 in 2011, but got on base at a .360 pace thanks to 31 walks. He also possesses good speed, having swiped seven bases last season. Defensively, he is arguably tops on this year’s squad.

Alexander noted, “Tucker is our best defensive infielder and we expect him to play a major role on the offense this year.”

A true first baseman in every sense of the term, lefty Lee Longo returns to the EMU infield after a terrific freshman campaign. Longo was sec-ond on the team with four home runs and third in slugging percentage at .471 last year. His low strikeout rate and raw power put him in prime position to be even more dangerous at the dish in 2012.

“Longo has increased his strength and possess-es a better understanding of how to produce more at the plate,” said Alexander. “We think his power numbers will go up this year. ”

The OutfieldCo-captain Brent Ohrman will once again patrol centerfield as he pursues numerous EMU offen-sive records as the squad’s leadoff hitter. The

second-team All-MAC, Academic All-MAC and Academic All-District recipient had 20 stolen bases last season to give him 32 for his career, good for the 17th-most all-time. He also has 28 career doubles to put him at 23rd in EMU lau-rels for that category.

“Brent is our best athlete and we look for him to have another big year,” said Alexander.

Daniel Russell started in 56-of-58 games last season, and will likely do the same this time around in left field. His speed makes him a dual defensive threat along with Ohrman in the out-field, and his extra-base power (18 doubles, six triples, two home runs in his career) makes him dangerous on the basepaths.

“Daniel is expected to give us a steady bat with more power this year,” Alexander added.

The Eagles have an array of other talented out-fielders from which to choose this season. Bo Kinder returns to the lineup after missing 2011 due to injury. Kinder hit .273 in 2010 and dis-played good power, hitting eight round-trip-pers.

Sam Ott and Jamie Simpson will also see time in the field while being mixed into designated hitting roles from time to time. Ott hit .333 as a DH last season in 32 games, while Simpson will see his first action in an EMU uniform after transferring from Western Michigan following the 2010 season. Ott could also see occasional playing time at first base this year.

“Simpson and Kinder will both play in the out-field this year depending on matchups,” Alexan-der added. “But they are both very good and I expect them to play well for us.”

On the MoundOn the mound, the Eagles lose the services of 2011 strikeout and wins leader Corey Chaffins (70 strikeouts, seven wins) as well as left-hand-ed workhorse Robert Wendzicki (106.2 innings

Brent Ohrman (pictured) returns for his senior season after hitting .339 and recording a .987 fielding percentage as the everyday centerfielder in 2011.

Senior Bo Kinder (pictured) returns to the EMU lineup in 2012 after being sidelined last season with an injury. He hit .306 in MAC play in 2010.

pitched). Fortunately, the Green and White re-turns one of the top rotations in the conference headed by Steve Weber, Joe Battistelli and Brian Valente. The right-handed trio combined for a 16-6 record last season along with a 3.63 ERA over 173.1 innings of work. Valente is fresh off a 4-0, 1.86 ERA performance in 2011, good for the 15th-best single-season ERA in team history.

The Eagles will look to experienced hurlers Taylor Dimmerling, Collin Taylor and Kristian Calibuso to head a bullpen full of new and raw talent. Calibuso was tabbed as the team’s closer this year after recording a team-best five saves last year.

“I am excited about this year’s pitching crop,” Al-exander remarked. “We have more experience and our guys have made significant improve-ments in their ability to pitch. Our bullpen will also be exciting to watch this year.”

The pitching staff will also welcome a pair of transfers to the squad in Tyler Vavra and Paul Schaak. Each played at Southern Idaho Com-munity College, where Vavra was named team

captain and garnered an SWAC Honorable men-tion in 2010. Schaak was named to the 2011 All-SWAC First Team in his one season at Southern Idaho, posting a team-best 6-1 record with a 3.45 ERA over 44.1 innings pitched.

The ScheduleFor the first time in three season, the Eagles will not open the season battling a ranked oppo-nent. Instead, they will play in the USC Upstate Tournament, Feb. 17-19, in Spartanburg, S.C., where they will play USC-Upstate, Kentucky and Dayton. The tournament will kick off 17-straight road contests to begin the season. EMU will fin-ish the month of February facing Oral Roberts, Feb. 24-26, Duke, Feb. 28, and North Carolina Central, Feb. 29.

March begins with a trip to Winston-Salem, N.C., March 2-4, to take part in the Wake Forest Tour-nament against Wake Forest and Marshall. Then nationally-ranked Arizona comes calling for a three-game set, March 9-11, when the Eagles head to Tucson, Ariz. The road trip concludes with two games at West Virginia, March 13-14.

The second annual Oestrike Classic, March 16-18, will usher in the first of 18 home dates as the Eagles host Niagara for three games. Other home series this season include MAC oppo-nents Miami (March 23-25), Central Michigan (April 13-15), Northern Illinois (April 27) and Bowling Green (May 4-6). The Eagles will also play single home games against Michigan (March 28), Michigan State (April 4) and Hills-dale (May 1).

The Mid-American Conference announced that All Pro Freight Stadium, the home of the Fron-tier League Lake Erie Crushers, will serve as the host site for the 2012-14 MAC Baseball Tourna-ments. The move to All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio will mark the third neutral site ven-ue to host the MAC Baseball Tournament since 1982. VA Memorial Stadium served as the tour-nament’s venue for the previous four seasons.

Redshirt junior Brian Valente (pictured) enters 2012 as a member of the starting rotation after a stellar 2011 campaign in which he went 4-0 over six starts. His 1.86 ERA was good for 15th-best all-time in a season at EMU.

Head Coach • Fourth Season • Wayne State, 1996 • 250-237 Career Record

Jay Alexander won his 250th career game as a collegiate head coach with a 4-2 win over Kent State in the MAC Tournament, May 27, 2011, in Chillicothe, Ohio.

The 2012 season will mark the fourth for Jay Alexander as Eastern Michi-gan 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 Director 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 program has built under previous head coaches Ron Oestrike, Roger Coryell, and Jake Boss.”

The 39-year-old Alexander (3-30-72) becomes the first African-Ameri-can head coach in EMU baseball history.

In 2011, Alexander’s squad compiled a 37-22 record, the most victo-ries in a single season since the 1982 team won 39. EMU posted its best start to a season (30-15) since 1976, a year in which the team ad-vanced to the College World Series. The Eagles also tied for the longest winning streak in the nation with 11 consecutive victories from April 12-May 4. In non-conference action, the Eagles topped fourth-ranked Clemson, West Virginia, Cleveland State, Michigan and Michigan State, and won series against Kansas, Tennessee Tech, Presbyterian College, Austin Peay, Michigan, and Louisville.

Alexander won his 250th-career game as a head coach when the Ea-gles topped Northern Illinois, 4-2, in the MAC Tournament, May 27, 2011.

In 2010, Alexander led the Eagles to two more wins than the previous year, with the team again earning the No. 7 seed in the MAC Tourna-ment, where they finished with a 2-2 mark. Overall, Alexander 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 recorded 387 strike-outs – the most by any team in school history. The previous record was held by the 1975 EMU baseball team that finished fifth at the Col-lege 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. 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.

The eighth head coach in Wayne State history, Alexander saw his 2008 squad turn in one of the most memorable years in school history. 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 Tournament. 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 Division 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-season vic-tories to earn its first-ever trip to the NCAA Regional Championship. In addition, shortstop Frank Jeney was named GLIAC Player of the Year.

In all, Alexander has coached 12 All-Region players, 37 All-GLIAC se-lections 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 Chicago White Sox organization after WSU’s 2003 season. Then in 2005, Steve Squires be-came 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, An-thony 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 center-fielder at Wayne State from 1993-96. He led the Warriors in hits, runs scored, stolen bases and batting average while a senior and was na-tionally 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, his wife, Kia, and daughter, Ryleigh, reside in Redford, Mich.

The Eagles went 31-17 through its first 48 games. The last time the Eagles started better was when the then-Hurons went 36-12 in its magical run to the College World Series on the way to a school-record 46-16 overall mark.

FIT FOR A KINGZack Leonard became Eastern Michigan Uni-versity’s all-time hit king, April 23, against Western Michigan with his 275th-career knock during a doubleheader against West-ern Michigan University, April 23, to move past Derrick Peterson (‘04). Leonard finished his senior season with a team-leading 87 hits to complete his collegiate career with 315. His torrid hitting display in 2011 also earned him All-MAC Tournament Team, MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week, MAC West Division Player of the Week, College Baseball Insider Central Player of the Week and ABCA/Rawlings All-Mideast Region First Team ac-colades.

BETTER THAN MOSTCorey Chaffins finished his career as an Ea-gle with 277 strikeouts; second on the all-time list behind only Bob Owchinko (309), who played for EMU from 1973-76. Chaf-fins recorded 70 punch-outs in 88.1 innings pitched in 2011. He also ganrered MAC West

Pitcher of the Week honors for the week ending Feb. 22, when he made back-to-back appearances against No. 4 Clemson and posted a 1-0 record and a 2.08 ERA.

BIG AS A BEACH BALLOpposing pitchers had nightmares the night before facing the EMU offense in 2011 and for good reason: Eastern Michigan bat-ters hit for a MAC-leading .300 during the regular season and .298 for the entire cam-paign. The Eagles averaged 6.4 runs per contest compared to just 5.5 for opponents. EMU also led the MAC in runs scored with 377 and doubles with 128.

A SEASON-LONG HITFESTSeven Eagles ended the season with a .300-or-better batting average. To no sur-prise, Zack Leonard paced the Eagles with a .372 batting average and Brent Ohrman hit at a .339 clip. Sam Ott boasted a .333 aver-age as the everyday designated hitter, while Ken Battiston hit .329, Ben Magsig .316, Lee Longo .312, and Daniel Russell .305. Ott and Leonard topped the on-base percent-age category with marks of .453 and .443, respectively.

SEVEN-ELEVENThe Eagles tied the nation’s longest winning streak with an 11-game run from April 17-May 4. During that period, EMU won seven conference games and knocked-off the Uni-versity of Michigan, Michigan State Univer-sity and Louisville in a two-game series. The Eagles hit .350 as a team, led by Zack Leon-ard’s .522 (24-for-46) average. Seven-of-nine regular starters hit .340 or higher while the team as a whole outscored its opponents

by 56 runs (100-44). The pitching staff has posted a 3.62 ERA during the streak and held opponents to a .262 batting average over 102 innings pitched. Defensively, the Eagles have committed just seven errors, 13 fewer than their opponents, spanning 441 chances for a .984 fielding percentage.

MAC SEASON REVIEWThe Eagles posted a record of 16-11 in MAC games last season, which was good for the best conference performance since the 2008 team went 14-8 and hoisted the MAC Tournament trophy. The Green and White won 5-of-9 series including sweeps of the University at Buffalo, Ball State University and Western Michigan University.

THE REST OF THE STORYIn non-conference action, Eastern Michigan boasted a 21-11 record with wins against No. 4 Clemson, West Virginia, Cleveland State, Michigan and Michigan State. The Eagles also won series against Kansas, Ten-nessee Tech, Presbyterian, Austin Peay and Louisville.

THE BIG (2)50Jay Alexander earned his 250th win as a col-legiate head coach May 27 in a 4-2 triumph over Kent State University in the MAC Tour-nament. Alexander reached the milestone after just nine years of coaching, averaging to 27.8 wins per season. In addition, he has coached his team to a MAC Tournament berth in each of his three season at the helm of EMU baseball. Alexander is 250-237 after nine years and is an even 89-89 as the head coach of the Eagles.

MAC AWARDS RUNDOWNThe 2011 MAC All-Tournament team in-cluded Robert Wendzicki and Zack Leonard as the two EMU representatives. Both play-ers also received All-MAC First Team honors, while Brent Ohrman served as the lone Eagle to garner second-team accolades. Leonard also received MAC Male Scholar Athlete of the Week honors in two consecutive weeks along with MAC Pitcher of the Week and Academic All-District nominations. Brent Ohrman was also selected to the Academic All-District team. Other conference weekly honor recipients were Joe Battistelli, Ken Battiston, Corey Chaffins, Ben Magsig, Dan-iel Russell and Wendzicki.

2011 SCHEDULE/RESULTS

2011 season Reviewhe faced to a .245 average while striking out 19 in 24.2 innings of work. Joe Battistelli also notched a pair of saves to serve as the only other Eagle to earn multiple saves on the year.

EVERY SINGLE TIMEBrent Ohrman and Zack Leonard proved to be Eastern Michigan’s “Iron Men” in 2011, as both played and started in all 59 games. Ken Battiston, Ben Magsig and Tucker Ru-bino saw action in all but one game, while Daniel Russell was absent from the lineup just twice.

GRAND THEFT SECOND BASEEastern Michigan’s resident speedster Brent Ohrman stole a team-leading 20 bases in 26 attempts last season, upping his career total to 32 swiped bags for 17th place in EMU his-tory. Ohrman still has a long way to go to catch Tom Hauck, who stole 85 bases from 1983-86.

YOUNG AND RESTLESSIn their first season with the Eagles, Lee Lon-go and Sam Ott provided Jay Alexander’s lineup with a pair of bats that helped propel the team to some lofty offensive statistics. Longo hit .305 and drove in 25 runs in 138 plate appearances, while Ott posted a .333 batting average with 33 RBI in 75 at-bats.

GET LOWBrian Valente was nothing short of stellar in his first season wearing the Green and White, as he posted a spotless 4-0 record along with a 1.86 ERA in 38.2 innings of work last season. Valente’s season earned run av-erage was the 15th-best in EMU history, just 0.04 runs behind the legendary Bob Welch’s 1.82 ERA in 1976.

THREE HORSEMENThe 2011 Eastern Michigan pitching staff was headed up by lefty Robert Wendzicki (106.2 innings pitched) and righties Corey Chaffins (88.1) and Steve Weber (71). The trio of hurlers combined to toss 266-of-526 total innings while combining for a 19-14 record, a 4.16 ERA and 195 strikeouts.

ONE’S NOT ENOUGHThirteen Eagles had at least one multiple RBI game in 2010, with Tucker Rubino, Ben Magsig and Zack Leonard leading the way with nine apiece.

WE DON’T MAKE MISTAKESWith all the talk about Eastern Michigan’s offensive prowess last season, it can hard to overlook the Eagles’ defensive achieve-

ments. For example, Brent Ohrman posted a team-best 12-game hitting streak from Feb. 26-March 19, but he also maintained a ter-rific .987 fielding percentage by committing only two errors in 59 games. Likewise, Matt Hitt only had two mishaps behind home plate in 42 games to earn a .992 fielding percentage.

TRICKLE DOWN THEORYIn 2011, Eastern Michigan pitchers posted a collective earned run average of 4.72, an im-provement of 1.21 runs per nine inning from the team’s 5.93 ERA in 2010. Brian Valente (1.86 ERA), Kristian Calibuso (2.55), Robert Wendzicki (3.38) and Joe Battistelli (3.96) all posted sub-four ERAs and combined for a 19-9 record.

RANKINGS MEAN NOTHINGThe writing was on the wall from the second game of the year that 2011 was going to be a special season when the Eagles updended No. 4 Clemson, 7-6, at Doug Kingsmore Sta-dium, Feb. 19, in Clemson S.C. Zack Leonard provided fireworks in the second inning with his first home run of the season, and finished the day 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. Corey Chaffins earned his first win of the season, pitching 3.1 innings in relief of starter Robert Wendzicki.

IN THE CLUTCHA resilient Eastern Michigan squad flexed its offensive might in an 12-11 come-from-be-hind win in extra innings against Northern Illinois University, May 27, in the MAC Tour-nament. The Eagles trailed, 10-6, headed into the ninth inning, but tallied five runs to take the lead and eventually win it in the 10th. The victory marked the seventh time in 2011 the Eagles won a game after trailing in the seventh inning or later.

A FAREWELL TO CHILLICOTHEThe Eagles said goodbye to VA Memorial Stadium–the site of the MAC Tournament for the previous four seasons–with a third place finish and a 3-2 record last season. Eastern Michigan defeated Northern Illinois twice, but lost two out of three games to eventual tournament Champion Kent State. The 2011 tournament marked the first time since the four-day event moved to Chillicothe, Ohio, that the Eagles and Golden Flashes did not play for the title. EMU won the tourna-ment in 2008–the tournament’s first year in Chillicothe–with the 2009-11 crowns going to KSU. Beginning in 2012, the MAC Tourna-ment will be held in Avon, Ohio at All-Pro Freight Stadium.

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.

Mid-aMeRiCan ConfeRenCe

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 64th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Confer-ence has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the coun-try. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) con-ferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 64-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to champion-ships 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 Fire-stone Stadium) and baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2009 with five schools participating in bowl games – Bowling Green (Roady’s Humanitarian); Central Michigan (GMAC); Northern Il-linois (International); Ohio (Little Caesar’s Pizza) and Temple (EagleBank Bowl). This marked the second con-secutive season for the MAC to send five schools to bowl appearances and only the third time in conference his-tory (2004, 2008, 2009). The 2009 season also witnessed Central Michigan ranked No. 23 in the AP poll and No. 24 in the USA Today coaches poll at the end of the sea-son following a dramatic 44-41 2OT win over Troy in the GMAC Bowl. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten op-ponents during the regular season as Central Michigan defeated Michigan State, 29-27 at East Lansing, Mich., while Northern Illinois rolled to a 28-21 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. For the first time in its 64-year history, the MAC will have five bowl relationships--three primary and two secondary--for the next four seasons (2010-2013). The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GMAC Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has secured two secondary agreements over the next four years with the Papajohns.com Bowl (2010-2013), the Dallas Football Classic (2010 and 2012) and the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl/San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl/New Mexico Bowl (2011 and 2013). The secondary agreement with the Papajohns.com Bowl (Bir-mingham, Ala.) will see the MAC serve as the back-up to both the SEC No. 8/9 and Big East No. 5/6 selections. The MAC will serve as the second back-up in the Dallas Football Classic in 2010 and 2012, a new bowl game played in the Cotton Bowl Stadium. The Dallas Football Classic’s primary agreements are Big Ten No. 7 vs. Big 12 No. 8. The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl/Poinsettia Bowl/New Mexico Bowl secondary agreement for 2011 and 2013 is as follows: the MAC will back-up Army in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (2011) and Poinsettia Bowl (2013) with the understanding that if Army is not bowl eligible, the West-ern Athletic Conference (WAC) will vacate the New Mex-ico Bowl and provide a team to the Kraft Fight Hunger and Poinsettia Bowl. The MAC will then provide a team to the New Mexico Bowl against a team from the Mountain West Conference (MWC).

Several other milestones occurred in football last season. Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour finished his career with three MAC Championships and four consecu-tive bowl appearances and completed his career with 150 total touchdowns--most in FBS history-- and is the MAC career leader in total offensive yards, passing yards, completions, attempts and passing touchdowns. Bowl-ing Green WR Freddie Barnes led the country in recep-tions and was one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s top wide receiver. Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller won the 2009 Wuerffel Trophy, better known as the Humanitarian Heisman, giv-en annually to one football student-athlete that showed excellence athletically, academically and in giving back to the community. This past April, five MAC players were selected in the NFL Draft--Ohio WR Taylor Price (3rd round--New England); Central Michigan QB Dan LeFe-vour (6th round--Chicago); Buffalo RB James Starks (6th round--Green Bay); Central Michigan WR Antonio Brown (6th round--Pittsburgh); Kent State WR Jameson Konz (7th round--Seattle), and over 20 more were signed to free agent contracts. Finally the National Football Foun-dation recognized 13 MAC student-athletes to the 2010 Hampshire Honor Society with success both athletically and academically with a 3.20 GPA or better. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC will enter the second year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic year) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 64-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Akron continued its dominance in men’s soccer and was ranked No. 1 in the country through the entire year. The Zips won their 12th regular season championship and fell to Virginia in the NCAA College Cup Champion-ship Game. Akron coach Caleb Porter was named Na-tional Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I. Akron striker Teal Bunbury received three honors, including the 2009 Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious honor in intercol-legiate soccer, named the National Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America Player of the Year in Division I and Soc-cer America’s Player of the Year. Two Akron soccer players were selected in the top 10 of the MLS 2010 SuperDraft, including Bunbury (No. 4 overall to the Kansas City Wiz-ards) and Blair Gavin (No. 10 overall to Chivas USA). Ohio’s men’s basketball team entered the MAC tour-nament as a No. 9 seed and defeated Akron in the MAC Championship game. The Bobcats went on and de-feated No. 3 seed Georgetown in the opening round of the NCAA tournament before falling to Tennessee. Kent State was invited to the NIT and defeated Tulsa before falling to Illinois, while Akron was invited to the College Basketball Invitational. Western Michigan senior guard David Kool was named Associated Press honorable men-tion All-America, while Buffalo head coach Reggie With-erspoon was named an assistant coach for the 2010 USA Men’s U18 National Team for USA Basketball. In wres-tling, Central Michigan won its ninth consecutive MAC

championship, while the MAC sent 26 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship where six grap-plers secured All-America honors--Central Michigan’s Steve Brown (157 pounds), Ben Bennett (174), Jarod Trice (285); Kent State’s Dan Mitcheff (133) , Dustin Kilgore (185); Ohio’s Germane Lindsey (141). Eastern Michigan won its fourth consecutive championship in men’s swim-ming and diving, while Kent State won its 18th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 23rd NCAA appearance. Western Michigan made its fifth consecutive appear-ance to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament. In baseball, Kent State won the MAC championship, while Ball State had two players selected in the first two rounds of Ma-jor League Baseball’s 2010 Draft--Kolbrin Vitek (2B) first round (20th overall) to the Boston Red Sox and Perci Gar-ner (RHP) second round (77th overall) to the Philadelphia Phillies. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. For the first time in MAC history five basketball teams were invited to postseason tournaments. Bowling Green won the MAC tourney and received the invitation to the NCAA tournament, while Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Toledo all were invited to the WNIT and Akron received an invite to the Women’s Basketball Invitational. In women’s soccer, Central Michigan won the MAC cham-pionship and defeated Purdue in its first NCAA tourna-ment match in program history. Ohio won the MAC vol-leyball championship and defeated Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In women’s swim-ming and diving, Toledo won its first ever MAC champi-onship, while Buffalo’s Meili Carpenter became the first swimmer in school history to earn All-America status. Both Central Michigan and Kent State competed at the NCAA Regional Championships in gymnastics, while Kent State won its 12th consecutive women’s golf confer-ence title and advanced to the NCAA championships. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), three NFL Pro Bowlers (Cleveland KR Josh Cribbs, San Diego TE Antonio Gates, Pittsburgh LB James Harrison), British Open win-ner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series win-ning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to ex-cel in producing 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 MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, 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. Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buf-falo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami Univer-sity (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State Univer-sity (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are spon-sored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soc-cer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swim-ming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, out-door track and field and tennis.

With more than 200 academic and social orga-nizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apart-ments 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, 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 fourth 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 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 excel-lent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Mar-tin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni rela-tionships, comprehensive fundrais-ing 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. Ad-

ditionally, for the fifth con-secutive year, The Princ-eton Review recognized Eastern’s College of Busi-ness 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) Govern-ment/Institutional Award for its preservation of the University’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 University, where she taught and published as a

professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of the mas-ter of taxation program, director of international 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 ex-

ecutive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help man-age the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local 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 de-gree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her mas-ter’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan Uni-versity 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 children.

Dr. Derrick GraggAthletics Director

The mark of an exceptional athletics program is the progress that is made each year. And under the leadership of athletics director Dr. Derrick Gragg, the Eastern Michigan University department of athletics has turned in successful campaigns in each of his first five years at the helm. During Gragg’s first year at EMU in 2006-07, the department set a school and Mid-American Conference record by capturing a remarkable eight team conference titles, adding a league post-season crown and recording two runner-up finishes. The MAC-record eight team champion-ships eclipsed the mark of six held jointly by Central Michigan University (2003-04) and Western Michigan University (1984-85). In 2007-08, Gragg’s second as athletics di-rector, EMU followed up the record-breaking eight championships in 2006-07 with four league regular-season titles and one MAC Tournament crown and the Eagles secured the Reese Trophy which is awarded annually to the top overall men’s athletics program in the league. Eastern had won the prestigious Reese Trophy three previous times (1987-88, 1990-91 and 1995-96). Gragg was nationally recognized for his leadership in 2008-09, earning the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA) Adminis-trator of the Year Award. He received the award at the BCA National Convention and Expo Awards Banquet, May 29, 2009, in Indianapolis, Ind.

The Eagles won a pair of MAC titles dur-ing the 2008-09 campaign in men’s cross country and swimming, while finishing as the runner-up in men’s golf, men’s indoor track, men’s outdoor track, women’s golf and women’s soccer en route to a second place finish in the Reese Trophy standings. Eastern continued to excel in 2009-10 with a trio of MAC team titles, 30 individual MAC Championships and 60 student-athletes named to the All-MAC teams. Gragg also helped spearhead the construction of EMU’s $3.9 million multi-purpose indoor athletic practice facility located near the north end of Rynearson Stadium. The 2010-11 season proved to be another record-setting campaign for EMU Athletics. The women’s outdoor track and field team won in 11 years to go along with the men’s cross country team capturing its 15 MAC crown. The Eagles finished near the top in the battle for the Mid-American Conference all-sports championships. The women’s athletic program turned in third place show-ing in the race for the Jacoby Trophy, while the men’s athletic program turned in its fifth consecutive top five finish in the battle for the Reese Trophy. Gragg was named EMU’s 11th athletic director, Feb. 21, 2006, after spending the previous six years at the University of Arkan-sas. He first joined the U of A in 2000 as an as-sociate athletic director and was promoted to senior associate athletic director in 2003

and then to deputy athletic director. In his tenure at Arkansas, Gragg was involved in various areas including: athletic administra-tion, sport program oversight, marketing, sports information, recruitment, budget, student-athlete support, compliance, facili-ties and game management, fund-raising and research. During his career, Gragg has published several articles and editorials on intercolle-giate athletics as well as a nationwide study on sports-related gambling. He is a former member of the NCAA’s Minority Opportuni-ties & Interests Committee, having served as co-chair of the committee in 2004-05.

He currently serves as a member of the NCAA’s Legislative Council and is a member of the NACDA Division I-A Athletic Directors Scholarship Ad Hoc Steer-ing Committee.

nCaa CoMplianCe 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:

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 • athletics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's athlet-• ics 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 rela-tives or friends and any of the following state-ments are true:

The relationship between the athlete (or • parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a re-sult of the athlete's participation in athlet-ics or their reputation as an athlete;The relationship began only after the ath-• lete become a prospect;The relationship began only after the ath-• lete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation;The pattern of benefits increased after the • athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

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 Chris-topher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or [email protected]. For more information on compli-ance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at: EMUEagles.com/compliance

sTudenT-aThleTe suppoRT seRviCesStudent-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. Wally Roeser 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. 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 rehabilita-tion 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.

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. Increasing 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 coun-try. 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 comprehen-sive 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 Excel-lence 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.

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.
