Matt Shepard Play-by-Play for Football

The 2012 season marks the 12th year that veteran Detroit-area broadcaster Matt Shepard will call the action on the field for the EMU football broadcast team. Shepard first handled EMU foot-ball play-by-play duties during the 1999 season. He returned in 2002, and has held the post for nine straight seasons. A widely known football and basketball broadcaster, Shepard is the voice of University of Michigan men’s basketball as well as the morning drive host on WDFN (1130 AM) in Detroit. During his career, he has called NFL Europe games for FOX and, in 2005, Arena Football League games for Fox Sports Net and was the broadcast voice for a pair of WNBA Championships by the Detroit Shock. Shepard’s Fox Sports Detroit resume also includes extensive work as a report-er for the Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Tigers, and play-by-play work for the Michigan High School Athletic Association football state finals and the CCHA hockey television package. In 2004, Shepard hosted the EMU Football Review with Head Coach Jeff Genyk on Comcast Local television.

Chad BushPlay-by-Play for Basketball, Volleyball and Baseball

The 2012-13 season marks the fifth consecutive year that Chad Bush has been calling baseball, volleyball and basketball games for Eastern Michigan University. Bush received the call to broad-cast the baseball team’s 2009 Mid-American Conference Tournament run on Eagle All-Access, be-fore adding a complete schedule of volleyball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball games in 2009-10. Then prior to the 2010-11 campaign, Bush was tabbed to take over the main responsibili-ties of EMU men’s and women’s basketball on WEMU, while still working select volleyball, baseball and softball games on Eagle All-Access. Prior to joining the Green and White, Bush served from 2006 until 2009 as the broadcaster of Wayne State University football and men’s basketball. A graduate of Orchard Lake St. Mary’s High School, Bush was on the football team at Central Michigan University before transferring to WSU to finish his degree in Speech Communication.

Ryan WooleyPlay-by-Play for Women’s Basketball

Ryan Wooley has pursued a career in sports broadcasting since his childhood and is proof that anybody can do whatever they put their mind to. Wooley grew up in Westland Michigan where he graduated from John Glenn High School and then went on to Eastern Michigan University, where he received a Bachelors degree in “Electronic Media and Film”. While at EMU, Ryan worked for WQBR, a student radio station where he served as the host of two shows per week. He also anchored the weekly news, delivered halftime updates during football and basketball on 89.1 WEMU, and handled the play by play for both football and basketball on the campus television station “E-TV”. Currently, Wooley is the play by play voice of the John Glenn High School football team as well as the EMU women’s basketball team on Eagle All-Access. In his free time, Ryan likes to work on cars, play video games, watch sports and hang out with friends. He currently resides in Belleville with his wife Michelle.

Herman MooreAnalyst for Football

The 2012 season marks the first year that Herman Moore will be the color analyst for the EMU football broadcast team. This will not be Moore’s first experience behind a microphone. From 1996-98, he co-hosted a Lions radio show every Monday night in addition to appearing on local television shows on Sunday nights. He also served as a color analyst in 2007 for the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League. Moore graduated from the University of Virginia in 1990 with a degree in rhetoric and communication studies. The four-time (1994-97) NFL Pro Bowler played 11 seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he set several receiving records. The 1991 first-round draft pick (10th overall) broke an NFL record with 123 receptions in 1995, and was the second player ever (after Jerry Rice) to record three 100-recep-tion seasons. He leads the Lions in almost every historical receiving category including receptions (670), receiving yards (9,174) and receiving touchdowns (62).

Seniors (l to r): Kristen Baker, Rachel Iaquaniello, Kaitlyn Vincek

The Eastern Michigan University women’s volleyball team is coming off a successful campaign after making it to the 2011 Mid-American Conference Tournament. The Eagles recorded their 12th season with 20 or more wins, finishing the season with a 21-11 record. Eastern faced-off with Ball State University in the opening round of the MAC Tournament and put up a valiant fight before falling to the Cardinals in four sets at the SPIRE Institute, in Geneva, Ohio, where it was held for the first time. Although they were full of youth, there was a nice balance of upper classmen that helped the Eagles to their 9-7 record in MAC play in 2011. Despite its success, Eastern finished fourth place in the tough West Division and fifth overall in the conference. The Green and White return 10 letterwinners from the 2011 squad, including five starters. Seniors Kristen Baker, Rachel Iaquaniello and Kaitlyn Vincek will help to lead this team this season as they try to earn one of eight openings into the slimmed MAC Tournament field. EMU also welcome four new first-year faces to the 2012 roster. Removed from last season’s roster are three players, including a pair of All-MAC First Team award winners in Ashley Mason and Haley Stein. Both Mason and Stein made marks in the EMU record books during their four years donning the Green and White. Mason holds the career record for sets played with 506, while Stein sits in second with 487. Mason is also second on the career assists list with 4,907 and Stein is second in career digs with 2,158. Cassie Sowers, the other graduated senior from 2011, played the fourth-most sets in Eastern’s history with 454 and was a major contributor on defense.

SETTER

In four years setting for the Eagles, Mason made her mark in the EMU record book, but the former first team All-MAC performer exhausted her NCAA eligibility in the 2011 season. The 2012 campaign opens the door to a pair of athletes vy-ing for the starting setter position. Redshirt junior Kim Hildreth will battle with incoming freshman Alyssa Davis. Kim has been Mason’s backup for the previous three seasons. “Kim’s experience may be crucial in leading the Eagles offense,” said Head Coach Kim Ber-rington. Davis is a setter from Kalamazoo, Mich. who was a four-time letterwinner at Plainwell High School. Davis was named to the all-conference team three straight seasons, and led the Trojans to a district championship in her freshman campaign. “Alyssa brings a lot of skills to the setting position,” remarked Berrington. “She can definitely challenge for the position.”

OUTSIDE HITTERS

For the 2012 campaign, the Green and White return two-time first team All-MAC selection Rachel Iaquan-iello. The Plymouth, Mich. native played in each set of the 2011 season, racking up 468 kills. Iaquaniello was second in the MAC with 3.97 kills per set and 4.40 points per set. She not only led Eastern in kills, but aces as well with 32. The senior was exceptional defensively, picking up 323 digs, good for 2.74 per set. She maintained a .968 reception percentage, making just 10 receiving errors in 313 attempts. Iaquaniello notched 30.0 total blocks, along with 13 double-double performances and was in double-figures for kills in 30 of the Eagles’ 32 matches throughout the 2011 campaign. “I’m looking forward to Rachel bringing her beach experience indoors and to dominate both the front and back row,” mentioned Berrington. Erin Short and Paige Roback will also continue to see time starting for the Eagles. Short was second on the

team in assists, and averaged 1.80 kills per set. Roback was third on the team in kills with 290, averaging 2.42 per set. Both Short and Roback saw action in all 32 matches during the 2011 campaign. Roback was also named to the IUPUI Hampton Inn Invitational’s All-Tournament team and was named Most Valuable Player of the Robert Morris Holiday Inn Volleyball Classic. “Erin is a huge blocker for us, but I’m waiting for her to put up some big offensive numbers for us,” stated Berrington. “Paige has become such a smart, steady player,” said Berrington. “She can come up big for us in any match.” Also competing for playing time will be senior Vincek and freshman, Stacey Perinar. “Kaitlyn is coming off of shoulder surgery, so we are hoping that she can contribute,” remarked Berrington. “She’s such a hard worker and team player.” “Stacey has a great arm swing and is so aggressive,” explained Berrington. “She certainly will add depth to our roster at the outside hitter position.”

MIDDLE BLOCKERS

Eastern returns a pair of stellar middle blockers from the 2011 campaign in Baker and Megan Crawshaw. Baker played in 119 of the 120 sets last season and looks to continue her success in the middle. Baker led the team in total blocks with 108, including 10 block solos. The senior also sits at number seven for the Eagles with 267 career block assists. Baker also was second on the team in kills, totaling 294. Crawshaw was named to the MAC All-Freshman team in 2011 after she accumulated 115 kills in 101 sets, while notching 68 total blocks. “Kristen is our rock in the middle,” said Berrington. “I really expect her to have a breakout All-MAC type of year for the Eagles.” “Megan had a great spring,” remarked Berrington. “I’m expecting her to add more offense this year.” Redshirt junior, Carolyn Steger will continue to compete for time after appearing in 22 sets in the 2011 season. “Carolyn has the knowledge and experience to be a contributor, she’s also been working on her consistency,” mention Berrington. Sophomore, Katie Krasowski and redshirt freshman Kelsey Jones will also fight for playing time this season for the Eagles. Krasowski saw action in 15 matches and recorded 15 kills on the season.

“Katie will come into pre-season nursing a back injury, so I’m not sure what to expect,” explained Berrington. “I hope she can get back to action so we can use her offensively.” “Kelsey has improved so much,” remarked Berrington. “She is a huge blocker for us and may see some playing time on the right side as well.”

LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS

With the departure of the 2011 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, Stein, the Green and White have quite the void to fill at the libero position. However, the Eagles have a pair of freshmen and a sophomore who will look to fight over the open libero spot as both Sierra Reed and Corynne Smith had success at the high school level. “I’m not sure who will wear the libero jersey this year, but it doesn’t matter,” stated Berrington. “Both of these freshmen will be on the court. They are both talented

and very feisty. They love to compete and it shows, they’re a fantastic duo to have.” “Sierra has both a state and national cham-pionship under her belt,” said Berrington. “I hope she brings that experience on the court when we need it in game five.” “Corynne has a magical platform and can cover a big range on serve receive,” explained Berrington. Also exhausting her eligibility last season was Sowers who appeared in every match for the Eagles as a defensive specialist. Sophomore Natalie Folk is in the mix for the libero position as well. She held a .969 reception percentage as a rookie in 2011. “Natalie certainly did not play like a freshman last year, so I expect her to be the leader of our defensive specialists,” said Berrington. “She is the most versatile of the three of them, so she needs to be prepared for that role.”

SCHEDULE

The 2012 non-conference schedule should pro-vide the Eagles with plenty of challenges prior to starting the 16-match Mid-American Conference slate. The Green and White will open their cam-

paign with Arkansas-Little Rock, Aug. 24, when they travel to Memphis, Tenn. to compete in the 2012 Memphis Invitational hosted by the University of

Memphis. In between the Memphis Invitational and the Eagles next tournament, they open the home slate with Cleveland State University, Aug. 28, at the Convocation Center. The Eagles then head to Chicago, Ill. to compete in the University of Illinois-Chicago Invitational, Aug. 31-Sept. 1. Just one week later EMU heads to Denton, Texas to take part in the University of North Texas Mean Green Invitational, Sept. 7-8. Before their final pre-conference tournament, the Eagles travel to Rochester, Mich. to take on in-state rival, Oakland University. The Eagles finish up their pre-conference play, Sept. 14-15, at the University of Michigan Coke Invitational. The Green and White open up conference play Sept. 21 when it hosts MAC-West Division foe Western Michigan University. EMU will play host to eight conference opponents before the end of the season which wraps up with the MAC Tournament at the SPIRE Sports Complex, Nov. 16-18, in Geneva. “Our schedule gives us an opportunity to see a variety of teams and playing styles,” explained Berrington. “We need to use each opportunity to prepare for the MAC. Hopefully we will be able to experiment with line-ups early to give us options later down the road. The more players that are able to contribute gives the coaches more options. We would love to be able to fill a need on any given night with the depth on our bench.”

Kim Berrington will start her 17th sea-son as head coach of the Eastern Michi-gan University volleyball team when the Eagles open the 2012 season.

Berrington has been a permanent fixture in the consistent success of the EMU volleyball program. In fact, Ber-rington is the fourth-longest tenured head coach at the university.

The seventh coach in the program’s history, Berrington became its win-ningest coach on Sept. 20, 2003, as the Eagles posted a victory over East Carolina in the Coastal Carolina Tour-nament. The victory was Berrington’s 110th win at the helm of the EMU program. During her tenure as head coach, Berrington has posted an over-all record of 251-245 and a 124-143 mark in conference play. In 11 of the last 12 seasons, she has led the Eagles to the MAC Tournament, with the 1999 campaign marking the first time the squad has played in the postseason event since the 1990 sea-son. Her teams have also led the MAC in digs in seven of the last 13 seasons, including ranking nationally in six of those campaigns.

In 2010, Berrington guided EMU to the largest turnaround in school his-tory, a 19-game improvement from five wins in 2009 to 24 victories in 2010. The previous standard of a 12-game turnaround came during the 1990 campaign, when the Eagles went from 18 victories to 30 wins, and again in 2001, when EMU went from seven wins to 19. The Eagles relied heavily on under-classmen for the dramatic turnaround, with freshmen and sophomores accounting for 75.6 percent of the squad’s kills, 60.3 percent of its blocks and 71.2 percent of its points in 2010.

In 2008, Berrington picked up her 200th EMU victory with a 3-0 victory over the University at Buffalo, Oct. 25, and the 300th win of her distinguished career with a sweep of the University of Toledo, Sept. 26, 2008. She currently holds sole possession of sixth place in the MAC record books for the most vic-tories at a league institution, trail-ing Bowling Green State University’s Denise Van De Walle who holds the league record for most wins with 500 during her 27 years coaching the Falcons.

In the classroom, B e r r i n g t o n ’ s squads perenni-ally have one of the top team cu-mulative grade point averages in the conference and have earned

Head Coach Kim Berrington

the American Volleyball Coaches As-sociation (AVCA) Academic Award on 12 separate occasions, which ranks fifth most nationally. This past semes-ter the volleyball team earned one of the top GPA’s among EMU squads with a 3.572.

In 2007, the Green and White wrapped up the campaign with a 20-14 overall record and an 8-8 mark in conference play. The record was a seven-game im-provement over the team’s 2006 mark when EMU finished at 13-17. Also, with a MAC Tournament Quarterfinal upset victory over No. 2 Western Michigan, the Eagles reached the 20-win plateau for the ninth time in the program’s history.

In 2005, Berrington guided the Eagles to a 22-7 overall record and a 14-2 Mid-American Conference mark en route to the program’s first-ever MAC West Division Championship. The Green and White’s 14 league wins were the

most in program history. Leading the West Division from wire-to-wire in the regular season, Eastern Michigan was the second most dominant team in the MAC, winning 13 out of its last 15 matches to end the season.

Prior to taking over the role as head coach, Berrington served as an assis-tant coach at EMU from 1987-92. She was also the head women’s volleyball coach at Concordia (Mich.) College for four seasons, from 1992-96.

In four years as the head coach at Concordia, Berrington turned the women’s volleyball team into a na-tional power. During those years, she built up a 103-76 overall record. Her 1995 team earned the school’s first na-tional ranking and was the runner-up in the NCCAA National Championship Tournament in the school’s first-ever appearance. She also served as Concor-dia’s sports information director. Ber-rington was named Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Coach of the Year the last three years, after leading her team to the conference championship her final two seasons at the helm.

B e r r i n g t o n now has a career coaching record of 354-321 in 18 seasons.

The 49-year-old Berrington is a 1985 graduate of the University of South Carolina, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree from the College of Jour-nalism. While at South Carolina, Berrington won four varsity vol-leyball letters and was one of 11 players awarded the Metro Confer-ence Medallion for excellence in athletics and aca-

demics.She earned her master’s of science in

physical education from EMU in 1992. A native of Pitts-burgh, Pa., and a graduate of Nor-win Senior High School in North Huntingdon, Pa., she earned three letters and helped the team win three state titles.

As the assistant women’s volley-ball coach at EMU from 1987-92, Ber-rington helped the team to a 91-53 record. Eastern was invited to its first-ever National Invitational Volley-ball Tournament in 1990 and the team finished sec-

ond in the Mid-American Conference twice and qualified for the league’s postseason tournament four times.

Berrington played beach volleyball for more than 20 years while winning open tournaments in three decades (`80s, `90s and 2000). She played on the Midwest Professional Volleyball Association (MPVA) tour since its inception in 1991.

Berrington and beach volleyball partner, former EMU assistant coach Sara Schaub, captured more than 20 tournament titles together playing on various tours and events including the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) qualifiers, Bud Light Tour, East End Volleyball and Extreme Volleyball Professionals (EVP). In 2008, she officially retired from professional play.

Berrington and her husband, Chuck, reside in Britton, Mich., with their daughter, Kelsey (18), who plays vol-leyball for Valparaiso University.

“Education First”Mission 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 Founded in 1849, 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 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 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 Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Vil-lage residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

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.

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

Do not telephone, write or make in-person • contact with a prospect for recruiting pur-posesDo not contact a prospect's coach, princi-• pal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospectDo not become involved in making ar-• rangements for a prospect, the prospect's relatives or friends to receive money or financial aid of any kindDo not visit a prospect's school to acquire • films or transcripts in an attempt to evalu-ate the prospect's academic or athletics eligibilityDo not have contact with a prospect, their • relatives or friends during any of their vis-its to EMU's campusDo not contact student-athletes enrolled • in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU

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. 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 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.

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 Eastern Michigan University Convoca-tion Center, in its 12th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gym-nastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for five first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tourna-ment games and two first-round game for the men’s basketball squad. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dil-lion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies. Among other events that have

taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and condi-tioning facilities and equipment rooms. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

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.

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.

The Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 66th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and devel-oped into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 foot-ball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth com-missioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to cham-pionships by expanding to six its number of neu-tral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Are-na, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In 2011, the MAC set a conference record with a 4-1 record in bowl games and won the prestigious ESPN Bowl Challenge Cup for the best FBS confer-ence record in bowl games. The MAC also tied a conference record for bowl invitations in a single season as the five bowl invitations marked the fourth time in conference history (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011). The five MAC programs that were extended bowl invitations included: Temple (Gildan New Mexico Bowl), Ohio (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl), Western Michigan (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), To-ledo (Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grum-man) and Northern Illinois (GoDaddy.com Bowl). The 2011 season also witnessed Northern Illinois win the 2011 Marathon MAC Football Champion-ship Game with a 23-20 win over Ohio. MAC pro-grams were a combined 4-0 against Army last sea-son (wins by Northern Illinois, Miami, Ball State and Temple), while Temple had an impressive 38-7 win at Maryland (ACC), Western Michigan’s 38-31 win at UConn (Big East), Ohio’s 44-7 win over Marshall (Conference USA) and Ball State’s 27-20 win over Indiana (Big Ten). or the first time in its history, the MAC will have seven bowl relationships--three primary and four secondary. The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), Go-Daddy.com Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has secured secondary agreements with the BBVA Compass Bowl (2012-2013), the Gildan New Mexico Bowl (2012-2013), the Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl (2012-13) and the TicketCity Bowl (2012). In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the fourth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 66-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 Game and a minimum of 11 regu-lar-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC tied a conference record as six programs received invites to postsea-son tournaments, highlighted by Ohio’s run to the NCAA Sweet 16 and an overtime loss to No. 1 seed North Carolina. Ohio reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Championship after tournament wins over Michigan and South Florida. The Bobcats became

the first No. 13 seed to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament since Bradley in 2006. The Bobcats also became the first team from the MAC to advance to the Sweet 16 since 2002. Ohio finished No. 25 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, marking the first time the Bobcats have been ranked to end a season. The MAC had a total of six men’s basketball programs reach the postseason in 2011-12: Ohio (NCAA), Akron (NIT), Bowling Green (CIT), Buffalo (CIT), Toledo (CIT) and Kent State (CIT). Buffalo’s Mitchell Watt was named an honor-able mention All-America by the Associated Press. In baseball, Kent State won the MAC champion-ship and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA baseball tournament and advanced to the College World Series in Omaha for the first time in program history and the first program from the MAC since 1976 (Eastern Michigan). The Golden Flashes be-gan the postseason with a dramatic 7-6 win over No. 2 seed Kentucky in 21 innings in the Gary, Ind. Regional. Kent State went on to defeat Purdue and Kentucky for the second time to advance to the Super 16 Regional in Eugene, Ore. Kent State con-tinued its dominance by winning the best-of-three game series over host Oregon to advance to the College World Series. In Omaha, Kent State opened with an 8-1 loss to South Carolina before defeating No. 1 seeded Florida, 5-4 to knock the Gators out of the postseason. Kent State finished with a 4-1 loss to South Carolina. In the process, Kent State finished the season ranked No. 6 in the nation by College Baseball and No. 8 by the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. A total of 18 MAC student-athletes were selected in Major League Baseball’s 2012 Draft – including Buffalo C Tom Murphy (Colorado, 3rd Rd., 105th overall), Ohio RHP Seth Streich (Oak-land, 6th Rd., 199th overall) and Kent State LHP Da-vid Starn (Atlanta, 7th Rd., 239th overall). During the 2011-12 academic year, the Univer-sity of Akron men’s soccer team witnessed sopho-more Darren Mattocks and junior Scott Caldwell earn All-America status as the Zips made their fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA post-season Round of 16 with wins over Northwestern and SMU. Northern Illinois won the MAC Cham-pionship with a 1-0 win over Western Michigan, and earned an appearance in the NCAA tourna-ment and defeated Western Illinois before falling to Creighton. The MAC announced the addition West Virginia as an affiliate member in men’s soc-cer for the 2012-13 academic year as eight teams will compete in conference play. In wrestling, Central Michigan won its eleventh

consecutive MAC championship, while the MAC sent 24 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship. In addition, three grapplers se-cured All-America honors--Central Michigan’s Ben Bennett (184), Kent State’s Nic Bedelyon (125) and Ohio’s Jeremy Johnson (285). In men’s cross country, Eastern Michigan claimed its 16th conference championship, while the Eagles captured their 30th conference title in men’s swim-ming and diving. The 30 championship titles for Eastern Michigan in men’s swimming and diving is a conference record. Western Michigan won its ninth conference championship in men’s tennis, while Akron won both the men’s indoor and out-door track and field championships. Kent State won its 20th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 25th NCAA appearance. The No. 17 ranked Golden Flashes advanced to the match-play portion of the NCAA Championship and se-cured the highest finish in school history by tying for fifth in the nation. Kent State sophomore Corey Conners earned Honorable Mention by the GCAA. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. The MAC had a total of five women’s basketball programs invited to postsea-son tournaments. Eastern Michigan claimed the MAC tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, while Bowling Green, Central Michi-gan, Miami and Toledo all received at-large invita-tions to the WNIT Tournament. The Toledo Rockets were the defending WNIT champions and began the 2012 WNIT Tournament with wins over Detroit, Cincinnati and VCU before falling to Syracuse in overtime in the WNIT ‘Elite Eight’. In volleyball, the MAC had a record four teams receive bids to the NCAA Volleyball Champion-ship and finished with the highest conference ranking in RPI in conference history, finishing sev-enth. Central Michigan won the MAC tournament title and earned the programs first ever trip to the NCAA Tournament, while Ball State, Northern Illi-nois and Western Michigan each received at-large bids. Northern Illinois’ Kristin Hoffman was named to the AVCA All-American Honorable Mention as well as the 2011 Capital One Academic All-America Division I Volleyball team. Ohio won its sixth MAC conference title in field hockey, while Toledo claimed its fourth title in school history in women’s cross country in record fashion. The Rockets scored a conference record-low 33 points and won back-to-back conference titles for the second time in school history. Also in women’s cross country, Ohio’s Juli Accurso fin-

Led by head coach Nona Richardson and seniors Nikki Stubbs and Sherry Anderson, Eastern stormed out to 20 straight wins en route to a 30-5 season, both of which are school records. Current Eagles’ head coach Kim Berrington was an assistant coach with the 1990 EMU squad. Eastern finished the season as the South Florida Tournament champions, Wright State Tournament champions and Ann Arbor News Classic champions. Eastern then qualified for the MAC tournament, where it lost in the championship game to Miami in a five-set thriller. Eastern’s Stubbs, Anderson and Stacy Graham were named first-team All-MAC. Stubbs ranked fourth in hitting percentage in the conference and was second in kills per game at 4.75 kpg. Graham ranked second in the MAC in hitting percentage and blocks per game, while Anderson also ranked in the top three in the MAC in assists (11.37 apg) and led the team with 42 service aces.
