Real Madrid Trains at EMU on Scicluna Field It was a memorable day at Eastern Michigan University, July 31, as one of the most prestigious soccer programs in the world, Real Madrid, invaded Ypsilanti to train at EMU’s Scicluna Field. Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of Real Madrid practiced on Eastern’s home pitch Thursday after-noon in preparation for the team’s International Champions Cup match against Manchester United, Aug. 2, at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. I t was a total team effor t be -tween the Spanish soccer club and the EMU Department of Athletics to host the private training session. “To have one of the most world renowned soccer clubs come to Eastern Michi-gan is a true honor,” remarked EMU Vice President and Di-rector of Athletics Heather Lyke. “We were really pleased with the opportunity to host them here. The recognition of our facilities, our staff and our women’s soccer student-athletes to see this type of team train here was really the opportunity of a lifetime. This is something we all will remember, especially our student-athletes.” The EMU soccer team also assisted in staffing the prac-tice, an opportunity that the current Eagles will remember for the rest of their lives. “We were all surprised and ex-cited,” said junior goalkeeper Megan McCabe. “I’m from outside of Chicago, I made the trip up last night and I’m leaving tonight. It’s a great opportunity for our school and our team.” “When I first read the e-mail, my reaction was I need to cancel all of my plans,” remarked Megan Trapp. “It seemed to me that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’ve never seen an international game

and to seeing these players work hard and watching their intensity, their focus, their energy is something that will motivate us after winning a Mid-American Conference Championship.” In addition to the excitement of the EMU soccer players, the coaching staff was thrilled about the opportunity as well. It was a chance for the

Eagles’ staff to learn from professional players and coaches as well. “I’m speechless to be honest, seeing these guys on our pitch. For the team to be out here and see them play at this pace and their intensity, this is what soccer dreams are made of,” noted EMU Head Soccer Coach Scott Hall. “Once you get past the starstruck of seeing Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and all of these guys out here, you just realize that this is an amazing experience.” Coach Hall also believes that this will benefit the Eagles as the team begins to train themselves for the upcoming season. “I think this brings us together as a

group,” continued Hall. “With us striv-ing to be at the top of our game and then seeing these guys (Real Madrid) come in with their professional ism and approach to the game, it really helps our team’s mentality heading into the season.”

With nearly the entire team returning from 2012, the EMU soccer team came into the 2013 season with high expectations that included a Mid-American Conference championship. The Eagles accomplished that goal with a 12-7-2 (8-2-1) record for the program’s third regular season conference crown and the first since 2003. The Green and White lost five seniors to last year’s team but return a plethora of talent that hopes to defend the team’s MAC regular season title. The Eagles will once again be led by 16th-year Head Coach Scott Hall, who has taken the squad to the conference postseason 12 times, along with winning the MAC Tournament in 1999. Hall’s 2014 group features 19 returning letterwinners along with eight starters and six newcomers. EMU soccer fans will have plenty of opportunity to see the 2014 Eagles in action at Scicluna Field, as the squad plays a total of nine home games which begin with exhibi-tions against the University of Detroit Mercy, Aug. 14, and Butler University, Aug. 16, as well as the regular season opener versus Fordham University, Aug. 22.

Defense On the defensive side of the pitch, the Green and White return MAC Co-Defensive Player of the Year Emily Dzik (Troy, Mich.-Troy) to lead a backlinethat helped pitch five shutouts and finished in the middle of the conference in goals allowed, giving up 1.10 goals per game. Not only is Dzik the anchor of the EMU backline, but she also has proven to be a threat to score on set pieces, tallying three goals during 2013. Alongside Dzik, fellow teammate Marisa Kozikowski (Troy, Mich.-Athens) returns for her senior season after collecting All-MAC Second Team accolades in 2013, and Jennifer Bentley (London, Ontario-London Secondary) is back after starting all 21 games a season ago. The EMU defense will also welcome back redshirt-junior Hallee Kansman (Farmington Hills, Mich.-North Farmington), who missed the entire 2013 campaign due to injury. Coach Hall will put the remainder of the defensive duties on returners Julia Lombardi (Oakville, Ontario-Abbey Park) and Rachel Washburn (Hartland, Mich.-Hartland), as well as a group of newcomers which includes: Olivia Kitz (Livonia, Mich.-Stevenson), Chanel Vani (Brampton, Ontario-Cardinal Leger) and Alex Wilbanks (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Lincoln).

Goalkeeping In goal, two keepers will battle for the primary job in 2012 starter Jenna O’Dell (Troy, Mich.-Athens (Iowa State)) and last season’s mainstay Megan McCabe (Arlington Heights, Ill.-Prospect). O’Dell missed the 2013 season with an injury, but McCabe was fantastic throughout the year to serve as a focal point in the Eagles’ regular season MAC crown. In her first full season in net for the Green and White, McCabe held down the de-fensive side of the pitch, stopping 93 shots in 21 games between the posts, leading to four individual shutouts. Overall, the Arlington Heights, Ill. native tallied a 1.06 goals against average and an 80.2 save percentage while helping pitch five EMU shutouts as a sophomore. She also set an EMU single-season record facing 303 shots, breaking Maggie Manville’s previous school record of 277, set back in 2011. O’Dell last saw action as the Eagles’ starter in 2012, starting 16 games and compiling a record of 8-6-2 that included five shutouts. During that season, she ranked second in the MAC in save percentage (.811), saves (90) and saves per game (5.62).

Forwards Despite losing All-MAC First Team honoree Stephanie Clarke to graduation, plenty of offense returns from a team that stood atop the MAC in several categories: points (137), goals (45), goals per game (2.14), assists (47) and assists per game (2.24), while also ranking as the 33rd-most potent offense in the nation. Leading the charge on the offensive side of the field will be reigning MAC Offensive Player of the Year Angela Vultaggio (Chesterfield, Mich.-L’Anse Creuse North), who scored 13 goals and a MAC-best 34 points, the second-highest totals of both categories in EMU history. Vultaggio showed her versatility as well, sharing the ball by leading the team and conference in assists with eight. She will look to end her career with a strong senior season to place her near the top of multiple EMU records. Bianca Rossi (Mississauga, Ontario-St. Marcellinus), the leading goal-scorer for the Eagles and all-conference performer in 2012, recorded six goals throughout 2013 and will be back for her final season donning the Green and White. Another returning

forward is Megan Trapp (Plymouth, Mich.-Canton), who appeared in all 21 games last year primarily off the bench. She scored one goal and added two assists while providing quality minutes for Coach Hall’s squad. Also contributing to the EMU attack this season will be a pair of sophomores in Madi-son Hirsch (Troy, Mich.-Troy) and Michelle Rollins (Hartland, Mich.-Hartland).

Midfield The biggest losses for the Eagles come in the midfield with 2013 All-MAC First team honorees Clarke and Cara Cutaia earning their bachelor’s degrees. Nonetheless, a variety of experience is still around for the 2014 campaign. EMU played the entire 2013 season without Chelsie Oddan (Calgary, Alberta-Central Memorial), but the redshirt senior is back after suffering a season-ending injury at the beginning of last year. Joining Oddan on the pitch after being sidelined in 2013

is redshirt-sophomore Ellie Tillar (Cincin-nati, Ohio-Turpin). The redshirt sophomore started the first game of the season before a knee injury brought an early end to her season. Martha Stevens (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-Marian) who had a breakout 2013 season in which she scored three goals, including the game-winner in the season-opening contest versus Detroit, Aug. 23, is another starter in the midfield that returns for the Green and White. Senior Molli Krick (Novi, Mich.-Novi) will provide veteran experience in the midfield as well after she started 20 games in 2013. Rounding out the returnees are sophomores Stef Barcelos (Mississauga, Ontario-St. Marcellinus) and Gabriella Mancini (Troy, Mich.-Athens). The duo combined to appear in 17 games in their first seasons donning the Green and White, and Barcelos scored her first collegiate goal of her career in the Eagles’ victory over Stetson, Sept. 20. Three freshman will split time on the

offensive side of the pitch with the ability to play both midfield and forward positions: Emma Camp (Garden City, Mich.-Salem), Irena Dedivani (Farmington Hills, Mich.-Farmington) and Kristin Nason (Brooklin, Ontario-Donald A. Wilson). Schedule The Green and White will take Scicluna Field against Detroit in an exhibition match, Aug. 14, at 5 p.m., kicking off the 2014-15 EMU sports season before hosting Butler for a weekend exhibition, Aug. 16. The exhibitions are two-of-nine matches set to take place on the home pitch this season. EMU also begins the regular season portion of the schedule at home, battling Fordham Friday, Aug. 22, at 4 p.m. The Eagles will close out the first weekend of the season, Aug. 24, as Indiana comes to town for a non-conference matchup beginning at 1 p.m. Following the season-opening weekend at home, the Eagles hit the road for six-straight matches, including three against schools west of the Mississippi River. Eastern will play in-state foe Michigan State, Aug. 29, in its first trip away from Ypsilanti. EMU will remain on the road two days later, squaring off against Texas Tech in a neutral site affair in South Bend, Ind., Aug. 31. Coach Hall’s squad will then head to the West Coast to face Oregon, Sept. 5, and Oregon State, Sept. 7. Following a two-week layoff, the Eagles travel to the Windy City for a contest at Illinois-Chicago, Sept. 21, before ending the road trip with the first MAC matchup of the season against reigning MAC East Division champion Miami, Sept. 26. EMU returns to the friendly confines of Scicluna Field, Sept. 28, for a Sunday matinee with Ball State; however, the comfort of home won’t last long as the Eagles return to conference road play with games at Akron, Oct. 3, and Buffalo, Oct. 5. After a weekend away, the Green and White will finish out the home portion of the schedule with two weekends consisting of four games at home. Rivals Toledo and Central Michigan will face off against EMU in two West Division showdowns, Oct. 10 and Oct. 12, respectively, before the Eagles proceed to close the lid on regular season contests at Scicluna Field with a pair of cross-divisional matches.

The 2014 season marks Head Coach Scott Hall’s 16th year lead-ing the Eastern Michigan University women’s soccer team. Hall has been with the program since it came into existence in 1995, serving as assistant coach for four seasons before taking over as head coach in 1999. Hall, a former member of the EMU men’s soccer team from 1990-94, has a career record of 151-114-42 and a 98-53-23 mark in Mid-American Conference play. Under Hall, EMU squads have enjoyed eight seasons of 10-or-more victories including a pair of 15-or-more win campaigns (1999, 2001). Hall’s teams have quali-fied for the MAC Tournament 12 times and captured one tour-nament title, three regular season titles and nine top-five finishes. In his latest season at the helm, Hall led the team to a 12-7-2 re-cord, including 8-2-1 in MAC play, to capture the Mid-American Conference regular season title, the program’s first since 2003. For his strong leadership, Hall was named MAC Coach of the Year by his peers in the conference. Along with standing atop of the con-ference at the conclusion of the regular season, EMU led the MAC in several categories: points (137), goals (45), goals per game (2.14), assists (47) and assists per game (2.24). The offensively-charged Ea-gles produced the 33rd-best scor-ing offense in the nation, ranking 23rd nationally in points and 13th in assists. The 45 goals were the third-most scored in a single sea-son in program history. Eastern was in every contest throughout the season as all seven losses were only by one goal. Individually, forward Angela Vultaggio was named MAC Offensive Player of the Year, while junior Emily Dzik shared MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. The 2012 team rebounded from missing the postseason in 2011 to capturing third place overall in the MAC and second in the West Division with an overall record of 11-6-2 and an 8-3-0 MAC mark. The Eagles posted their first 11-win season since 2009 and first eight-win performance in conference action since 2003 while achieving the largest single-season turnaround in program history. During his first season as head coach in 1999, Hall led the Eagles

to their first-ever MAC title and NCAA tournament berth. During that memorable 1999 season, Eastern Michigan was ranked sixth nationally in team defense, with a 0.55 goals against average. The Eagles also finished the year with 13 shutouts, good for seventh in the nation. Goalkeeper Sarah Willis was named MAC Player of the Year following the season, along with five other Eagles garnering all conference honors. Hall was selected MAC Coach of the Year for his efforts, the first time an EMU soccer coach earned the award. Hall was named MAC Coach of the Year again following the 2001 season after going 10-4-1 in conference play. The 2003 campaign also proved to be a historic run for the Green and White. EMU opened up MAC play going unbeaten in the first nine games with a 7-0-2 mark en route to the MAC regular-season title and earning the No. 1 seed for the tournament with an 8-2-2 record. The Eagles hit double digit wins again during the 2004 campaign, going 10-7-3 with a 6-4-2 MAC record. After missing the tournament in 2006, Hall’s team bounced back with a 5-4-2 MAC record in 2007, earning the No. 5 seed for the postseason tournament. EMU lost a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime game to Bowling Green, ending the 2007 season with a 7-8-4 mark for the Green and White. The 2008 season was a return to the up-per echelon of the MAC for Hall and the Eagles. EMU made it to

the championship match in 2008 before losing a tough 1-0 game to the University of Toledo. In 2009, the Green and White cracked the semifinals and were led by MAC Player of the Year Ashley Rodrigues. In 2010, the Eagles finished with a 9-7-5 overall record with a 6-2-3 mark in MAC play. Hall’s squad earned the No. 4 seed headed into the MAC Tournament but fell in a nail-biter to Western Michigan on penalty kicks in the opening round. Throughout his tenure with the Eagles, Hall has coached four MAC Players of the Year, 45 all-conference selections, 49 Aca-demic All-MAC picks and nine All-Great Lakes region performers. The 42-year-old Hall took over the women’s soccer program following the tragic death of the program’s first head coach, Paul Scicluna, in the fall of 1998. He had served as assistant coach since the inaugural season in 1995. During his time as assistant coach, the Eagles quali-fied for the MAC Tournament in 1997 and

1998. Hall also worked with his mentor at Total Soccer, Inc. as a counselor and instructor. A four-year varsity letterwinner at Grand Ledge High School (1985-89), Hall earned All-Capital Area Conference and All-League honors. He continued his career as a member of the Eastern Michi-gan University men’s soccer program from 1990-94, earning four varsity letters. An Eastern Michigan graduate, Hall earned his bachelor’s de-gree in elementary education in 1994. Hall and his wife, Sue, have a son Jack (9), and a daughter, Maya (7). They reside in South Lyon, Mich.

In the Eagles’ final non-conference match of the 2013 season, Sept. 22, at Scicluna Field against Indiana State, the Eastern Michigan University soccer team recognized the match as Cancer Awareness Day. The Eagles sported teal armbands, headbands and special white jerseys with teal-colored numbers, the color of ovarian cancer awareness. Following the match, the jerseys were auctioned off with proceeds going to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. With a minimum required bid of $100, each jersey went to the highest bid-der.

Cheryl Kaim, mother of 2013 EMU senior Allison Kaim and former player Julie Kaim, passed away in 2011 fighting ovarian cancer. Cheryl was not only a mother to her girls, but to the entire EMU soccer team. She showed her bravery and strength fighting the horrific disease, refusing to quit. All proceeds towards the jer-sey auction went to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition in Cheryl Kaim's name. At halftime, a special pre-sentation to the Kaim family took place at midfield to honor Cheryl, a woman that will forever be an impor-tant member of the EMU soccer family, as well as all of those who have been affected by ovarian cancer.

With nearly the entire team returning from 2012, the EMU soccer team came into the 2013 season with high expectations that included a Mid-American Conference championship. The Eagles accomplished that goal with a 12-7-2 (8-2-1) record for the program’s third regular season conference crown and first since 2003. The Green and White lost five seniors to last year’s team but return a plethora of talent that hopes to defend the team’s MAC regular season title. Along with standing atop of the conference at the conclu-sion of the regular season, EMU led the MAC in several catego-ries: points (137), goals (45), goals per game (2.14), assists (47) and assists per game (2.24). The offensively-charged Eagles produced the 33rd-best scoring offense in the nation, ranking 23rd nationally in points and 13th in assists. The 45 goals were the third-most scored in a single season in program history. Eastern was in every contest throughout the season as all seven losses were only by one goal. Junior Angela Vultaggio paced the EMU high-octane offense with 13 goals and a MAC-best 34 points while senior Cara Cutaia followed closely behind with marks of 11 and 29, respectively. Vultaggio also led the team and conference in assists with eight as teammate Stephanie Clarke finished with seven on the season. Cutaia and Marisa Kozikowski had six assists apiece to round out the distribu-tion leaders. In her first full season in net for the Green and White, goal-keeper Megan McCabe held down the defensive side of the pitch, stopping 93 shots in 21 games between the posts, leading to four individual shutouts. Overall, the sophomore tallied a 1.06 goals against average and an 80.2 save percentage while helping pitch five EMU shutouts. In 2013, she set an EMU single-season record facing 303 shots, passing Maggie Manville's previous school record of 277, set back in 2011. As the MAC regular season champions, numerous Eagles graced the All-MAC teams, and two collected the coveted player of the year awards. Seniors Clarke and Cutaia, along with juniors Vultaggio and Emily Dzik, earned All-MAC First Team spots while Kozikowski earned All-MAC Second Team accolades. In her debut season at EMU, freshman Madison Hirsch solidified her place on the All-Freshman Team. EMU Head Coach Scott Hall was tabbed as Coach of the Year for the third time in his career. Leading the conference in nearly every offensive statistical category, junior forward Vultaggio became the third Eagle in program history to be named MAC Offensive Player of the Year. With 13 goals this season, the Chesterfield, Mich. native boasted the second-most goals scored in one season at EMU, trailing only Jessica Hupe, who scored 17 in 2002. Vultaggio's 34 points

in 2013 ranked 31st in the nation and are also the second-most for one Eagle in a season, trailing Hupe's 39 points in her historic 2002 campaign. Leading the team in assists with eight, Vultaggio tied with Stephanie Janssens, Cyndi Mullins and Cutaia for the third highest total in one year. Dzik shared the MAC Defensive Player of the Year award with Kent State University's Morgan Mah. The Troy, Mich. native led a back line that pitched five shutouts in 2013. Along with her play on defense, Dzik also proved to be an offensive threat on corner kicks as three headers found the back of the net this season. Starting every game for the Eagles, Dzik was second on the team in minutes played with 1,930 out of a possible 1,967 minutes. Dzik joined for-mer EMU goalkeeper Monique Budani as the only Eagles to earn the MAC's highest defensive honor.

Rounding out the individual sea-son awards, Clarke and Dzik were honored for their success on the pitch and in the classroom. Clarke was named Capital One Academic All-District First Team, and Dzik was selected Academic All-District Second Team as voted on by the College Sports Information Direc-tors of America (CoSIDA). Clarke boasts a 3.90 GPA as a biology major while the Dzik currently has a 3.98 GPA as a nursing major. EMU started its 2013 campaign with a daunting non-conference slate that included four schools from the Big Ten Conference. The

Eagles began with a 3-2 season-opening victory over in-state foe Detroit at Scicluna Field, Aug. 23. Two days later, Eastern traveled to Columbus to face then-No. 23 nationally ranked Ohio State. Cutaia put the Green and White on top early, but the Buckeyes tied the contest in the second half to force overtime, where they would score the game-winner in the 99th minute to escape the upset challenge by the Eagles. Despite the loss, McCabe's nine saves in the split weekend gave the sophomore goalkeeper MAC Defensive Player of the Week accolades. The following game, EMU faced another nationally ranked foe in Washtenaw County rival No. 14 Michigan. The Green and White took the Wolverines to overtime before U-M found the golden goal in the extra frame to win 2-1, Aug. 30. Eastern battled its third straight B1G opponent on the road, Sept. 6, falling to Indiana in another one-goal decision. Staying in the Hoosier State, EMU and Butler played to a 1-1 tie, Sept. 8, the first draw of the season for the Eagles. Returning to Scicluna Field a week later, the Michigan State Spartans used two penalty kicks to sneak by EMU, 3-2, as the heartbreaking losses continued for Coach Hall's squad. With a tough start to the season that produced a record of 1-4-1, Eastern got the ball rolling with a sweep over Stetson and Indiana State to end non-conference play. The Green and White downed the Hatters, 5-1, Sept. 20, and followed with a 4-0 shutout of Indiana State, Sept. 22. Vultaggio earned her first MAC Offensive Player of the Week honor and McCabe claimed her second Defensive Player

2013 Year in Review of the Week award as the Eagles swept the weekly conference accolades. For the weekend, Vultaggio recorded a .700 shots-on-goal percentage, scoring on three of her seven attempts on goal. After scoring one goal and adding an assist against Stetson, she found the net twice against Indiana State to round out her week-end with seven points (three goals, one assist). McCabe allowed just one goal while making 11 saves in her strong defensive effort in 173 minutes of weekend play. The Eagles carried its strong end to the non-conference portion of the schedule by defeating Northern Illinois and Toledo to open MAC play. Bianca Rossi added a pair of goals and assists in the two victories to secure MAC Offensive Player of the Week honors. One week later, the winning ways proceeded on the road as EMU took down Bowling Green, Oct. 4, and shut out Central Michigan, 3-0, Oct. 6. For the third consecutive week, an Eagle was tabbed the conference's best offensive player for the week as Clarke scored the game-winner against the Falcons while providing two assists in the three-goal victory over the Chippewas. During the six-game winning streak, EMU out-scored the opposition 22-6 to improve to 7-4-1 (4-0-0 MAC) on the season. Eastern saw its winning streak come to an end as Ball State and Miami invaded Ypsilanti, Oct. 11 and Oct. 13, respectively. Both opponents escaped with 1-0 wins, which proved to be EMU's only setbacks in conference play against two strong MAC teams. The RedHawks of Miami ended the season as the MAC East Divi-sion champions while Ball State advanced to the MAC Tournament championship game, one win away from an NCAA Tournament berth. The back-to-back losses placed the Eagles behind the eight ball in the quest for a MAC West Division title as well as the overall MAC crown. Nonetheless, the Green and White took care of busi-ness by rattling off a 3-0-1 record in its next four games, includ-ing a 4-1 victory over Akron on Senior Day, Oct. 27. Also, McCabe earned her third MAC Defensive Player of the Week as well as MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week for the period ending, Oct. 20. One week later, Vultaggio would earn recognition for her classwork and success on the pitch for back-to-back scholar athlete honors. The four-match unbeaten streak as well as other results around the conference set up a battle for the MAC Championship on Hal-loween between the Eagles and rival Western Michigan in Kala-mazoo, Mich. The winner of the contest earned the right to call themselves the best in the West and MAC regular season champi-ons, while the other would have to settle for the fourth seed in the MAC Tournament. Despite the brutal weather conditions of sideways rain and a soggy field, the Eagles used a pair of second half goals to come back and down the Broncos, 2-1, at the WMU Soccer Complex, Oct. 31. Trailing 1-0 at the half, the Eagles kept the ball on their of-fensive side of the field for the majority of the second half, finally finding the open net in the 61st minute. After the WMU controlled

the ball on the other side of the field, Cutaia made a run down the center of the field. The team co-captain found Vultaggio on the right side of the box, and the junior forward curled the ball past the WMU goalkeeper to tie the game, 1-1. Five minutes later, Cutaia struck again, this time finding the net herself. Martha Stevens would pass to the senior midfielder, and Cutaia rifled a shot over the keeper from 20 yards out, hand-ing her team a one-goal advantage, 2-1, with just 24:08 remain-ing in regulation. As they have done a superb job of all year, the Eagles held onto the lead, controlling ball possession and playing solid defense. The Broncos would not threaten for the rest of the game, as McCabe and the backline held strong. As the clock ticked down, the EMU faithful who made the trip began to get loud and on their feet. When the horn sounded to complete the Eagles' quest for the conference title, the EMU bench stormed the field to celebrate with their teammates. With the conference's best record at the end of regular season

play, Eastern earned the top seed for the 2013 MAC Tournament, hosting No. 8 seed Ohio in a quarterfinal contest at home. EMU held the Bobcats scoreless in the regular season with a 3-0 victory in Athens, Oct. 18, and the same result occurred Nov. 3 in the opening round affair as the Eagles cruised to a 3-0 win. The 'W' guaranteed that the remainder of the con-ference tournament would take place at the friendly confines of Scicluna Field. For EMU, a rematch with

Western Michigan awaited, while Miami and Ball State would tangle in the other semifinal matchup. While the Green and White took the regular season crown on WMU's home pitch, it was the Broncos who would get revenge eight days later as a goal in the early minutes of the contest proved to be enough for the 1-0 semifinal decision, ending the Eagles' magical ride. Eastern fell to a strong WMU team who ended up defeating Miami, 1-0, in the MAC Championship game to earn an NCAA Tournament berth where it defeated Marquette, the No. 8 ranked team in the nation, in the opening round. The 2013 campaign meant the end of the careers for five Eagles: Clarke, Cutaia, Allison Kaim, Emily Kowalzyk and Megan Pedro. Clarke's name will be etched in EMU history with 21 assists, the third-most in any EMU career. Cutaia will also be included in the record books as her 22 career goals rank fifth in EMU laurels while her 63 points are fourth on the program's career list. Over the past four seasons, the EMU seniors led the soccer program to 35 victories, including 25 in MAC play. In their last campaign, the seniors guided the team to 12 victories, the most at EMU since 2008. The five Eagles will leave the EMU soccer program as champions, capturing a 2013 MAC Championship in their final season.

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 69th 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 ten football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commis-sioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neu-tral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically po-sitioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was recently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, mak-ing Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agree-ment between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Fa-mous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth 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 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 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament since 2004. The MAC had five programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan advanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buffalo senior forward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aodhan Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affiliate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadel-phia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate members over the last two seasons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second con-secutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to be-come the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship. A MAC record 43 wrestlers competed at the NCAA Wrestling Championships and the MAC witnessed nine wrestlers named All-American – Joe Roth, Central Michigan (7th place at 133); Ian Miller, Kent State (4th place at 141); J’Den Cox, Missouri (1st place at 197); Drake Houdashelt, Missouri (5th place at 149); Dylan Peters, Northern Iowa (6th place at 125); Joe Colon, Northern Iowa (3rd place at 133); Joey Lazor, Northern Iowa (6th place at 141); Jeremy Johnson, Ohio (7th place at 285) and Jack Dechow, Old Dominion (4th place at 184).

In men’s cross country, Eastern Michigan claimed its 18th conference championship, while Mis-souri State won its first ever swimming & diving championship as an affiliate member. In men’s tennis, Ball State won its second MAC title in four years. Akron won its third MAC indoor track and field title in the last four years. Akron sophomore Shawn Barber became the school’s first male individual national champion by winning the pole vault. In men’s outdoor track and field, Eastern Michigan won its 22nd conference title in program history and junior Donald Scott garnered First Team All-American honors in the triple jump after tak-ing sixth in the nation. Kent State’s Matthias Tayala became the second MAC track and field student-athlete crowned a national champion this year in the hammer throw during the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The 2014 track and field season was a historic one for the MAC with three national champions across men’s and women’s athletics. Akron’s Shawn Barber was the 2014 NCAA indoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 5.75m, Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m, while Kent State’s Matthias Tayala was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field hammer throw champion with a distance of 73.57m. Kent State won the program’s sixth consecutive and 20th overall conference title in men’s golf and received its 27th NCAA appearance. Kent State senior Taylor Pendrith became just the second player in program history to represent Kent State in the NCAA finals in each of his four seasons, in-cluding this year at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. Kent State won its 11th MAC baseball tournament as the No. 3 seed and has won either the regular season or tournament title in 14 of the last 15 seasons. Earlier this summer the MAC witnessed 15 student-athletes selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft led by Central Michigan starting pitcher Jordan Foley, who became the Chippewas highest draft pick in more than a decade when he was selected in the fifth round by the New York Yankees. Also, Ball State senior outfielder Sean Godfrey (drafted by Atlanta) and Miami senior pitcher Seth Varner (drafted by Cincinnati) were named to the Louisville Slugger All-America Third Team as chosen by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. In women’s basketball, Akron won its first ever MAC tournament championship and a program record 23 wins during the 2013-14 season. A total of five MAC programs were invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Akron; WNIT-Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan; WBI-Eastern Michigan). Bowling Green defeated High Point, St. Bonaventure and Michigan in the WNIT before falling to Rutgers in the WNIT Quarter-finals. In women’s soccer, Western Michigan earned the program’s first MAC title in ten years and went on to defeat No. 8 Marquette, 1-0, in the NCAA College Cup First-Round before falling to Notre Dame. In volleyball, Ohio claimed its eighth MAC title and fell to Michigan State in the NCAA First Round. Ohio’s Abby Gilleland and Kelly Lamberti, along with Toledo’s Lauren Rafdal, were named Division I All-American Honorable Mention. In women’s cross country, Miami claimed the MAC title for the third time in program history, while Ohio’s Juli Accurso won her second consecutive Great Lakes Regional and earned All-America honors at NCAA Regionals. In field hockey, Miami won the program’s second consecutive conference title, while the RedHawks program won the conference championship in women’s tennis for the second consecutive year and the fourth time in the last six years. Akron won its first ever MAC swim-ming & diving championship, while Central Michigan won its fifth consecutive MAC tournament title in gymnastics. In women’s indoor track and field, Kent State won its fourth conference title in the last five years, while the Golden Flashes won the women’s outdoor track and field championship for the fourth consecutive year. Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m. In women’s golf, Kent State won its 16th consecutive conference championship. Kent State fresh-man Wad Phaewchimplee became the second Golden Flash in history to win a NCAA Regional and was named All-American Honorable Mention by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). In softball, the Ohio Bobcats won their first-ever conference tournament championship and advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995. Ball State softball senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert was named to the 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association NCAA Division I All-America Second Team. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), NFL Pro Bowlers (OT Joe Staley, TE Antonio Gates, WR Antonio Brown), British Open winner 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 excel 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 estab-lished 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 membership consists of 12 universities across five states (Illinois, In-diana, Michigan, New York and Ohio). 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, there are 11 championships sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, 12 championships are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soc-cer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

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

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 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 campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jog-ging 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.Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a 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 23,000 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; Educa-tion; 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 nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral de-grees 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. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th 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 $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

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).

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.

Dr. Susan W. MartinEMU President

Entering her seventh year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti. She was named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facilities and record-setting growth in enrollment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint. Since joining EMU she has led the institution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facilities by making $210 million in capital improvements to the campus. Eastern has been a nationally recognized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past five years, Eastern’s has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities. This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-2011, in which

Eastern was one of a handful of universities around the nation to not increase fees. Additionally, Eastern completed its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. Inspire. The Campaign for Eastern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the summer of 2012 and reached $56 million. The highly successful campaign set the tone for future efforts to benefit Eastern students. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set forth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, comprehensive fundraising and earning the public’s trust.

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 master 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 executive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage 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 1985-88. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Information Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is a member of the board of directors of the Michigan Educational Trust as well as Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit organization that seeks to bring businesses to the Ann Arbor area. She is married to Dr. Larry Martin, professor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Heather LykeEMU Vice President/Director of Athletic

Heather Lyke begins her second year at Eastern Michigan University, having been named EMU’s Vice President/Director of Athletics on July 1, 2013. Lyke came to Ypsilanti with more than 17 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics administration – 15 of which were at The Ohio State University. Lyke’s first year at Eastern Michigan was a successful one, as the Eagles won three Mid-American Conference team championships and 24 individual MAC titles in track and swimming. EMU also produced 64 All-MAC student-athletes to go along with 41 Academic All-MAC honorees. In the classroom, EMU student-athletes continued to showcase their success in the classroom, ending the Winter 2014 semester with a 3.145 grade point average. It marked the ninth consecutive semester that the Eagles had surpassed the 3.0 plateau as a department. Lyke also developed and installed the mantra of Eagles Unite. More than just a catchy slogan, it was a campaign of support that pervade through all of EMU 21 varsity sports. The campaign extended beyond student-athletes; it strongly encouraged the athletic department staff, fans, alumni and students to show their support as well.

The 13th athletic director in Eastern Michigan history, Lyke was selected from a pool of more than 80 candidates. She also is the first woman to hold the full-time AD position at EMU. “I am honored and excited to be named the Director of Athletics at Eastern Michigan University,” said Lyke at her hiring press conference. “This is a tremendous opportunity to become a part of a dynamic leadership team. I am eager to serve and build great relationships with President Martin and the University leadership, the faculty, our student-athletes, coaches and staff, alumni and donors, and the greater Ypsilanti and Michigan community. Eastern Michigan has a rich history of athletic success and academic achievement. I look forward to being part of the continued success of Eastern Michigan University as we help shape the next generation of leaders and achieve even greater accomplishments.” At OSU, she was a member of

the athletic department’s executive team and was responsible for the assessment, design and development of the department’s strategic plan. She directly oversaw 10 of OSU’s 36 athletic programs and managed/supervised 31 full-time coaches and staff. She also had oversight over all facets of the athletic councils involving budget oversight, revenue generation and facilities as well as the golf course operations. Additionally, she supervised the sport performance division of

the department, which includes the strength and conditioning coaches, athletic training staff and sports medicine staff. In 2013, she developed the first ever student-athlete internship program within the Department of Athletics. On a national level, Lyke has been active within the NCAA and Big Ten Conference committee structure as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee and Big Ten Sports Management Committee and previously served on the NCAA Softball Rules Committee and the NCAA Amateurism Committee. Her previous roles at OSU included associate athletic director for sport administration (2002-12) and associate athletic director for sport administration, compliance and camp operations (1998-02). Prior to Ohio State, Lyke was at the University of Cincinnati for two years, serving as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator. Lyke began her athletics administrative career at the NCAA national office as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department. Lyke also has worked for the Big Ten Network as a color analyst for softball games. Lyke grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan on a softball scholarship. While at U-M, she was a four-year letter winner as a first baseman, two-time team captain, Big Ten champion and Academic All-Big Ten honoree as a member of its softball team. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Education from University of Michigan and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron School of Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1995. Lyke and her husband, David Catalano, have three children, Elle, Sophie and Eli.

The home of the 2013 Mid-American Conference Women’s Soccer Regular Season Champions with a capacity of 700, Scicluna Field has hosted EMU women’s soccer competition since the 1995 season. Through the program's 19 seasons, the Eagles have compliled a record of 97-44-24 on their home pitch. The field is equipped with a full-size scoreboard, perfect for fan viewing. This past season, Scicluna Field was the site of the 2013 Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinals and championship match. The field is named in honor of Paul Scicluna, the first head coach of the EMU women’s soccer program after it was started in 1994. Scicluna led the team to a 38-32-2 record during his tenure, including an 11-5-2 mark in Mid-American Conference play in 1997 and 1998. Scicluna died tragically on a recruiting trip in 1999, and the field named in his honor.

EMU Soccer Facilities

Prior to the start of the 2013 season, the Eagles moved into a new facility shared by the soccer and tennis teams, part of the Wasik Tennis Complex. The team building features brand new locker rooms for both teams, offices for the coaches and a lounge for the student-athletes.

The word came early on a chilly, but calm Sunday morning, Feb. 7, 2010. After a series of delays caused by snow and wind — and with a big storm coming later that week — it was time to raise the roof on Eastern Michigan’s new indoor, multi-purpose ath-letic practice facility. Workers started at 7 a.m. and, by 9 a.m., the big, white, synthetic roof had billowed to its full height. Inside, members of EMU’s physical plant staff and construction workers admired the expansive space and thought of the athletes that would bring the place to life in the months to come. It was an improbable event, considering work on completing such a facility and inflating the roof took place heading into and during a Michigan winter. But mild late fall weather helped workers and staff accomplish a great deal, such as pouring 2.5 million pounds of footings concrete. Light snow in January also helped. The area ex-perienced less than 10 inches that year, compared to more than 30 inches in 2009. A one-inch dusting of snow delayed the inflation, but only for several days. The facility, which costs $3.9 million, is located on Westview Drive, off Huron River Drive, at the north-east corner of Rynearson Stadium. The building will enable EMU’s collegiate athletic teams and the Ypsilanti community to continue play-ing and practicing despite inclement weather. The facility will support intramural, recreational and club sporting events, as well as local sports leagues. The facility is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide and 75 feet tall. It includes a welcome center and convertible space that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field or four youth soccer fields. Leasing revenues are projected to cover maintenance and operating costs. Despite the light Sunday mood, plenty of work re-mained after the inflation. Workers had to unfreeze the ground, level the concrete, install synthetic turf and complete the welcome center. The parking lot was then completed in warmer weather. The Board of Regents approved the plan for the indoor facility at its June 2009 meeting, and it was unanimously approved by the state’s Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee in September. The project was funded by the 2005 tuition in-crease, four percent of which was specifically dedi-cated to enhance the university’s infrastructure. The four percent increase (or approximately $4.4 million) has accumulated for the past four years, creating a pool of $17.6 million.

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 Native American 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

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

RECRUITING DO'S AND DON'TS Only EMU coaches may be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters may not make any recruiting contacts with prospective student-athletes, Boosters are prohibited from the fol-lowing:

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 aca-demic 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, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine 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 pre-ventive 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 facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifi-cally and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse col-lection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execu-tion before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental tough-ness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vo-cal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

How to Make a Gift

Eagles Pride 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, Eagles Pride (formerly 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 proj-ects. 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 comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uni-forms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles Pride 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 Eagles Pride today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
