2008

The 2015 Eagles return... 17 letterwinners 8 pitchers 2014 in ReVieW: The 2014 baseball season got off on the right foot for Eastern Michigan, as the Eagles defeated No. 13 Clemson in the season-opener in 10 innings, but the Green and White struggled throughout the season for its third consecu-tive losing season. EMU finished with an overall record of 19-34 and a 6-21 mark in conference play. It was the third straight losing season for the Eagles, resulting in the change of the head coach. Jay Alexander compiled an overall record of 159-182 and a 74-88 mark in Mid-American Conference play during his six seasons at the helm. EMU was led offensively by senior first baseman Lee Longo. Longo captured the MAC batting title with a .379 average and was named to the All-MAC Second Team for his performance during his final season in the Green and White. He had the 28th best batting average out of all NCAA Division I hitters and was 14th in doubles with 20, which also tied for the conference lead. Longo finished his four-year career ranked fourth in the EMU record books with 53 career doubles, fifth in hits and RBI, tallying 233 and 147, respectively. The Eagles recorded their seventh consecutive victory over the University of Michigan with a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Wolverines in Ann Arbor. The Green and White picked up only one conference series victory, which came on the final week-end of the season. EMU took two-of-three from Toledo, includ-ing a 10-inning 5-2 victory over the Rockets on the final day of the regular season.

2015 SeniOR cLaSS: Eastern Michigan will be led by six se-niors heading into the 2015 campaign: John Rubino, charlie Land, Ryan Lavoie, Jake andrews, and Ben Dartnell. The five will also be joined by redshirt-senior adam Dennison to make up the 2015 senior class.

cOacHinG StaFF: Head Coach mark Van ameyde begins his first season at the helm of the Eastern Michigan baseball pro-gram. Van Ameyde returns to Ypsilanti after spending the past six seasons as an assistant coach at Michigan State University. He brings 16 years of coaching experience to EMU, including one season as the Eagles assistant coach in 2008 when the Green and White won the Mid-American Conference Tourna-ment to clinch a berth to the NCAA Regionals. The skipper will bring a pair of ex-Spartans with him to join his coaching staff as well. eric Roof comes over as an assistant coaching after spend-ing the prior two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at MSU. Jordan Keur will be a volunteer assistant at EMU after playing under Spartan Head Coach and former Head Coach at

2015 SEASON PREVIEWEMU Jake Boss Jr. Roof spent three years in the minor leagues (2009-11) for the Detroit Tigers organization after playing colle-giately at Michigan State (2007-09). He will work primarily with the hitters and catchers. Spencer Schmitz will also join Van Ameyde’s coaching staff as an assistant coach. Schmitz brings a lot of knowledge of the MAC having coached and played in the conference for a combined total of 11 years.

pitcHinG: The pitching staff will be led by a trio of returning pitchers who combined to make 48 appearances and 20 starts just a season ago. Jake andrews returns for his senior season after making a team-high 12 starts last season for the Green and White. Andrews struck out 31 batters in 55.2 innings while posting a 3-5 record with a 4.85 ERA. Fellow senior Ryan Lavoie will get the ball in the season-opener against Arizona, Feb. 13. Lavoie had a team-high 19 appearances last season, making seven starts. The 6-2 right hander finished with a 2-4 record and 4.92 ERA while throwing 53 innings. The final pitcher in the EMU rotation will be another senior, charlie Land. Land made 17 appearances last season for the Green and White which was tied for third on the staff. He only made one start, however, striking out 30 batters in 31 innings pitched. Coming out of the bullpen, EMU will likely rely on returning lefties michael marsinek and Devon Bronson with Sam De-laplane also looking to play a key role during his sophomore campaign. The three combined for 47 appearances last year for the Green and White. Newcomers augie Gallardo, Brent mattson, and Kyle Huckaby look to make an impact in their first season for EMU.

2015 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALL

2015 SEASON PREVIEW 3 starting position players 14 NEWCOMERS

inFieLD: In the infield, the Eagles will be led by senior John Rubino. Last season, Rubino split time between second base and shortstop but this season the four-year starter will handle the bulk of the duties at second base. The Scotts-dale, Ariz. native posted the second-best batting average on the team at .330, recording 70 hits, 36 runs, 34 RBI, and a team-high 23 stolen bases in 2014. Junior mitchell mcGeein will get the nod at third base this season for the Green and White. McGeein hit a team-best four home runs last year, while starting in 36 games. John montgomery and Brennan Williams will handle the majority of duties at first base for the Eagles. Montgom-ery may get some time in the outfield as well, with the pair also getting some starts in the designated hitter slot. The Green and White lost the services of All-MAC Second Team first baseman, Lee Longo, to graduation. Longo claimed the MAC batting title a year ago with a .379 average, which was good for 28th out of all NCAA Division I hitters. Junior marquise Gill will get the first crack at shortstop as the Eagles begin play in Arizona, Feb. 13-15. Gill ap-peared in 34 games, starting in 11 of them during the 2014 campaign. Also competing for playing time at the shortstop position will be ‘true’ freshman David Lett. The Farmington Hills, Mich. native played in the Michigan East-West All-Star game his senior season.

BeHinD tHe pLate: Junior tony DiLeo takes over the back-stop duties, following the graduation of two-year starter adam Sonabend. DiLeo appeared in 21 games last season, starting in four of those behind the dish. He threw out six potential base stealers last year and hit for a .200 average with a homer and six RBI at the plate. Redshirt-senior adam Dennison will also see some time behind the plate for the Green and White this season. Dennison missed all of 2013 with an injury, but bounced back playing 41 games last sea-son. He recorded 23 hits and 16 RBI, while seeing time at the designated hitter, left field, and catcher.

OUtFieLD: The Eagles return a pair of outfield starters in junior austin Wilson and michael mioduszewski. Wilson started 47 games in center field while Mioduszewski was Eastern’s primary left fielder. Wilson was second on the team in steals with 17, only getting caught once. He tallied eight multi-hit games and recorded a .227 batting average. The Valrico, Fla. Native made only one error in the field for a solid fielding percentage of .992. Mioduszewski made 38 starts in his first season on the team. He hit .248 with nine doubles

and 23 RBI while tallying eight multi-hit games as well as five multi-RBI contests. The duo will likely see the most action in the left and center field positions again this season for the Green and White. Newcomer Jordan peterson will be the opening day starter in right field. Peterson will try to fill the void left by Sam Ott, who was lost to graduation. Ott started in every game from his redshirt-sophomore year on, compiling a career batting aver-age of .313. Ott ranks 10th in career hits (217), seventh in career RBI (131) and fifth in career doubles (51) in the EMU record book. Peterson hit .358 with 17 doubles and three home runs to be honored as First Team All-ACCAC and first team all-region at Chandler-Gilbert C.C. before coming to Ypsilanti. Peterson was the recipient of the NJCAA National Gold Glove award his sophomore season. Joe Kennedy will vie for playing time in the outfield as well, after redshirting his first season on campus. Sophomore John montgomery and freshman Luke DeVenney will also compete for time in the outfield this season for the Green and White. Montgomery played in 17 games last year, hitting at a .348 clip with a .522 slugging percentage while starting in four games.

2015 ScHeDULe: Eastern Michigan starts the 2015 campaign with 20 games away from the friendly confines of Oestrike Stadium. After the season-opening series at Arizona, Feb. 13-15, the Eagles travel to Saint Mary’s (Calif.), UC Davis, Santa Clara, Georgia State, Indiana and Northern Kentucky. Five weeks after opening the 2015 campaign at Arizona, the Green and White will return for its first home series of the season when Eastern starts Mid-American Conference play at Oestrike Stadium. The Eagles will welcome the University of Akron, March 20-22. Fol-lowing the Akron series, the Green and White take on NCAA Division II opponent Wayne State before hitting the road again to square off with Kent State, March 27-29. The Eagles have scheduled 56 games in total, comprised of 27 conference games in addition to 29 non-conference con-tests. Eastern will face three teams from the Big Ten Conference as they will continue their home-and-home series with Michi-gan State this season and will play a pair of games at Michigan. Wrapping up non-conference play will be the second leg of the Michigan series, May 12, before closing out the regular season with a three-game MAC series versus Toledo, May 14-16. The Green and White will look to finish in the top-eight of the regu-lar season to qualify for the MAC Tournament, scheduled for May 20-24 at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio.

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

improvements to Oestrike Stadium have been ongoing since 1988, starting with the addition of the press box behind home plate. The following year, an inning-by-inning scoreboard with a message center was installed behind the left-field fence. In 1990, four permanent batting cages were added along Hewitt Road behind the left-field fence. The 1992 season marked the beginning of the field improvements, starting with a new outfield fence and practice infield. In 1995, an outfield drainage system and sprinkling system were installed. The playing surface was the focus in 1988 when a new infield surface, pitching mound and bullpen mounds were completed. In the summer of 2001, the dugouts were expanded and drinking fountains were installed. The aesthetics of Oestrike Stadium have been ad-dressed, beginning in 2000 with the addition of lights. The first-ever night game at Oestrike stadium was played May 3, 2000, against the University of Michi-

gan. Today, most Mid-American conference games are played under the lights at Oestrike. The commemorative bricks that line the grandstand section continue to be installed and in the fall of 2006, the infield drainage system was replaced, as was the infield surface. In 2007, the entire infield was ripped out and re-placed with Pro Grass, thanks to several individuals that donated their time and money to make the project a reality. Now in its 44th year of existence, Oestrike Stadium has received several critical upgrades including an all-new brick facade around the stadium, a new fence surrounding the outfield and a completely remodeled locker room with brand new locker stations for each player. Finally, a new scoreboard graced left-center field be-fore the conclusion of the 2013 season to complete the stadium beautification process. Former EMU player and current manager of the New York Mets, Terry Collins, has provided the funding for this critical upgrade.

2008

The 2015 season marks the first year for Mark Van Ameyde (pronounced VAN-uh-mead) as the head coach of the EMU baseball team. Van Ameyde returned to Ypsilanti after spending the past six sea-sons at Michigan State University.

Van Ameyde brings 16 years of coaching experience to EMU, including one season as the Eagles’ as-sistant coach in 2008 when the Green and White won the Mid-American Conference Tournament to clinch a berth to the NCAA Regionals. Following that season, he and former EMU Head Coach Jake Boss Jr. took their talents to East Lansing, Mich. to lead the MSU baseball program, where the duo

has led the Spartans to continued success, going 194-137 (.586) in six seasons.

Van Ameyde has been one of the key components to MSU’s success the past six seasons, including helping the program to its first Big Ten Confer-ence Championship in 32 years in 2011 and a berth in the NCAA Regionals in 2012. Under Van Ameyde’s guidance, the Spartan pitching staff has shown significant improvement by dropping the team ERA year after year. As the team’s pitching coach, Van Ameyde has coached seven different Spartans that have had a chance to play professional baseball, including six draftees.

In 2014, the Spartan pitching staff compiled a 3.05 ERA, the 10th lowest in program history. One year prior, MSU also held opponents to a .240 batting average, which tied for the best in the Big Ten. For the second consecutive year, MSU ranked in the top 40 nationally in walks allowed per nine innings (22nd at 2.73), WHIP (14th at 1.18) and ERA (36th at 3.22)

During the 2012 run to the NCAA Tournament, the Spartans had one of their best seasons in school history on the mound. MSU recorded 389 strikeouts, second most in the school record book, and compiled a 3.28 ERA, the 10th lowest in the history of the program and the best ERA for a Spartan staff since 1972. The Spartans led the Big Ten in opposing batting average (.249), saves (15) and pickoffs (12) while ranking second in strikeouts and third in ERA. Michigan State also ranked among the top 40 nationally in walks allowed per nine innings (22nd at 2.76), WHIP (33rd at 1.24) and ERA (35th at 3.28). All three of Michigan State’s Big Ten starters - Tony Bucciferro, Andrew Waszak and David Garner - were named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week during the 2012 season, a first in school history.

In 2011, MSU had two first-team All-Big Ten starting pitchers (Kurt Wunderlich, Bucciferro) for the first time in school history. The bullpen was equally effective, ranking second in the Big Ten with 16 saves. Tony Wieber led the way with a team-high eight saves, tying for third-most in an MSU season, to garner third-team All-Big Ten accolades. Van Ameyde also mentored Garner, who collected five victories on the mound and was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Overall, the Spartans finished third in the Big Ten with a 4.08 staff ERA, the lowest ERA for the program since 1978. MSU also walked the third-fewest batters (172) in the conference and the 332 strikeouts were the fifth most in school history.

During MSU’s 34-win campaign in 2010, the Spartans ranked third in the Big Ten in ERA and allowed the fewest amount of runs and walks in the conference. Michigan State also recorded 335 strikeouts as a staff, the fourth-highest total in school history. All three of MSU’s Big Ten starting pitchers - A.J. Achter, Wunderlich and Bucciferro - ranked among the top 11 in the conference in innings pitched. Achter, who was drafted in the 46th round of the 2010 MLB Draft by Minnesota, ranked second in school history and third in the Big Ten in 2010 with 98.2 innings pitched. A third-team All-Big selection, Wunderlich led the team and tied for fifth in the conference with eight wins. Six Spartans on the staff collected at least four wins on the mound, and closer Kurtis Frymier tied for third in school history with eight saves.

In Van Ameyde’s first season in East Lansing, MSU ranked fourth in the Big Ten in ERA and opposing batting average. MSU’s 326 runs and 537 hits allowed in 2009 were each the second-lowest in the conference. The Spartan pitching staff also totaled 302 strikeouts, which was the most by a MSU squad since 2004 and the ninth-highest single-season total in school history. The Spartan pitching staff also picked-off a league-high 19 base runners. Van Ameyde was also a part of the Spartans’ first no-hitter in over 16 years as on April 4, senior pitcher Nolan Moody no-hit Northwestern in the first-ever game at McLane Baseball Stadium.

Prior to joining the Spartans in 2009, Van Ameyde helped Eastern Michigan win the MAC West Division title and the MAC Tournament Champion-ship while earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament during the 2008 campaign. His pitching staff showed steady improvement throughout the season, as the Eagles won 25 of their last 40 games heading into postseason play. In conference games, Robert Wendzicki led the league in saves with seven while Matt Shoemaker posted a perfect 3-0 record. Former EMU pitchers Dan Puls and Shoemaker both signed free agent contracts

2015 EASTERN MICHIGAN BASEBALLwith the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels, respectively, fol-lowing the 2008 season under Van Ameyde’s tutelage.

As an assistant at Georgetown, Van Ameyde guided the pitching rota-tion to numerous team records, including most strikeouts in a season, fewest walks in a season and the lowest team ERA in 23 years. In 2006, the Hoyas posted the most Big East Conference victories since 1985. He also served as recruiting coordinator for the Hoya baseball pro-gram, was responsible for recruiting trips, and ran the annual George-town Baseball Camp.

Before his stop at Georgetown, Van Ameyde spent four seasons on staff at the University of Detroit-Mercy. He led UDM to the top of the Horizon League in batting average as the team’s hitting instructor, in addition to serving as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. From 1999-2000, Van Ameyde was the head coach at St. Mary’s Col-lege, where he was responsible for the implementation of the pro-gram. He led St. Mary’s College to the NSCAA World Series in 2000.

Van Ameyde earned two letters pitching for Detroit, garnering all-conference and team MVP honors in 1994. He also pitched at Henry Ford Community College for two years and helped the team to a re-gional championship in 1991.

Van Ameyde graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication from UDM in 1996. He is currently pursuing his master’s degree in sports administration from Wayne State.

Van Ameyde and his wife, Melissa, have three sons: Chase, Cole and Cash.

Eric Roof is in her first season at EMU, making the trip with Coach Van Ameyde from East Lansing to Ypsilanti. Roof spent the last two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at MSU and will bring his expertise to Ypsilanti by coaching the Eastern’s hitters and catchers.

“I am thrilled that Eric is joining me in making the transition from Michigan State to East-ern Michigan,” noted Coach Van Ameyde. “Having coached him as a player and then work-ing with him over the last two years, he is more than prepared to help us take the EMU baseball program to a new level. The work ethic, knowledge, attitude and leadership he developed as a player are strong attributes he brings to the table as a coach. Just a few

years removed from the game as a player, Eric communicates well with student-athletes and will not stop trying to find ways to help them get the most out of their ability. With the addition of Eric to the coaching staff, I continue to look forward to the bright future of Eastern Michigan Baseball.”

With Roof coaching the catchers, the Spartan mask men threw out 39 baserunners on attempted steals throughout the 2014 cam-paign, leading the Big Ten Conference. Roof coached Joel Fisher, the Danny Litwhiler Defensive Player of the Year and Third Team All-Big Ten honoree, who was the conference leader in gunning down baserunners with 30. Following the season, Fisher was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 23rd round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Returning to East Lansing as a coach in 2013, the MSU battery caught 27 stealing on the base path while Spartan sluggers hit at a .281 clip to rank fourth in the conference.

Roof played three seasons in the minor leagues (2009-11) for the Tigers organization. He began his professional career in 2009 with the Oneonta Tigers in the Class A New York-Penn League before playing in the New York-Penn League for the Connecticut Tigers in 2010 as well as the West Michigan Whitecaps in the Class A Midwest League. Wrapping up his playing career in 2011, Roof appeared in 40 games with the Lakeland Flying Tigers of the Class A Advanced Florida State League.

As a student-athlete at Michigan State from 2007-09, Roof was a three-year letterwinner and served as a captain his senior season. He compiled a .314 batting average in 136 career games, including 115 starts, to go along with 10 homers and 83 RBIs. Prior to arriv-ing in East Lansing, the Paducah, Ky. native played his freshman season at St. Catherine (Ky.) College.

Roof batted .308 as a junior in 2008 and was rewarded by being selected in the 46th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Detroit Tigers; however, he elected to return to MSU for his senior year. The decision paid off as the team captain started all 54 games and led the Spartans in batting average (.345), hits (69), doubles (14), RBIs (41), slugging percentage (.525) and on-base percentage (.440). For his strong season, Roof was named Michigan State’s Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year and jumped 28 rounds in the 2009 MLB Draft as the Tigers picked him up in the 18th round.

Roof is not the only one in his family that has been successful on all levels of baseball. His father, Gene, played for the St. Louis Car-dinals and Montreal Expos in the 1980s, and is currently a coach in the Detroit Tigers organization as the baserunning coordinator. Eric’s younger brother, Jonathan, was also a three-year letterwinner (2008-10) at MSU as a shortstop and was chosen in the eighth round of the 2010 MLB Draft by Texas; he is currently a member of the Boston Red Sox’s AA farm club, the Portland Sea Dogs. His older brother, Shawn, played at Illinois and is on the Frederick Keys, a High A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

In his first season at EMU, Jordan Keur makes the transition to a coaching role with Van Ameyde after playing under him at Michigan State from 2010-13.

In his four-year playing career in East Lansing, Keur started 155 games for the Spartans and finished his career with a .315 average. He was a vital member of the winningest class in MSU baseball history. As a senior, he was named a team captain as well as MSU’s sportsmanship recipient after playing an intricate role both on and off the field. Keur started 30 consecutive games and was the Spartans’ best hitter, leading the team with a .337 average and 20 RBI, before tearing his Achilles. Despite the injury, Keur was awarded the teams’ Kirk Gibson Offensive Player of the Year award.

An All-Big Ten First Team honoree as a junior, Keur started all 60 games and led MSU to a NCAA Region-al appearance. He also paced the Spartans in numerous hitting categories including: batting average (.353), hits (89) and multi-hit games (31). His 89 hits were the fourth-most for a single season in MSU history and ranked second in the conference that year. He was also among the Big Ten leaders in on-

base percentage (.432) and runs (47). He finished out the season by being named team MVP and Academic All-Big Ten.

During his first two seasons as a Spartan, the Hudsonville, Mich. native appeared in 65 games, including 53 as a sophomore, when MSU won the Big Ten Championship. As the primary starter in left field, he delivered the biggest clutch hit of his career at the time when he blasted the game-winning homer in the top of the 10th to lead MSU past Ohio State, 5-4, on the road, April 15.

Following his playing career, Keur graduated from Michigan State with a bachelor’s degree in advertising. He attempted to make a comeback, signing to play professionally for the Washington Wild Things; however, his previous injury prevented him from completing the comeback.

Spencer Schmitz will make EMU his third home in the Mid-American Conference after previously coaching at the University of Akron and Bowling Green State University.

“Adding Spencer to our staff is great for our program,” noted Coach Van Ameyde. He knows MAC baseball inside and out, having coached and played in the conference for a combined total of 11 years. His experiences will greatly benefit EMU Baseball, and we are excited to have him on board.”

In his only season on staff at Akron, Schmitz helped lead the Zips to the MAC Tournament Champi-onship game for the first time since 1996. UA won three-straight tournament games before falling to Kent State University in the finals, falling one victory shy of an NCAA Tournament berth.

Prior to his stop in Akron, Schmitz served as an assistant coach for his father, former EMU baseball student-athlete Danny Schmitz, at Bowling Green. On the Orange and Brown staff since the 2008 season, he was a part of a program that won two regular season MAC titles (2008 and 2009) as well as the 2013 MAC Tournament Championship to qualify for the NCAA Regionals.

Before returning to his alma mater, Schmitz was the assistant coach for the Longwood University baseball team in the 2007 season, which resulted in a 34-19 record, the first winning season in Division I history for the Lancers.

Schmitz got his start in coaching as an assistant coach for the Bowling Green High School baseball team, as well as stints with the Lake Erie Monarchs of the Great Lakes Summer Baseball League, and the White House Legion baseball team.

During his playing days, Schmitz was a second baseman and designated hitter for his father at BGSU. As a Falcon from 2001-04, Schmitz was a member of the 2001 MAC East Division winners and the 2002 MAC Championship team. He was also successful in the classroom, earning Academic All-MAC honors in 2002.

Schmitz received his bachelor’s degree in sport administration from BGSU in 2004.

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 positioned 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 award-ed 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 Bowl-ing Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Cae-sars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (Go-Daddy 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 re-ceive 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 Michi-gan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making 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 Famous 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 goal-keeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate mem-bers over the last two seasons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second consecutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship. A MAC record 43 wrestlers com-

peted 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 taking sixth in the nation. Kent State’s Matthias Tayala became the second MAC track and field stu-dent-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 Quar-terfinals. 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 confer-ence 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 swimming & diving championship, while Central Michigan won its fifth consecutive MAC tourna-ment 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 cham-pionship 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, Indiana, 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, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and ten-nis.

Longo had an incredible final season as an Eagle, claiming the MAC batting title with a .379 average. He became the first Eagle to win the confer-ence’s batting crown since Brian Bixler hit at a .453 clip in 2004. In the national ranks, Longo’s batting average was 28th out of all NCAA Division I hitters. The Mayfield, Ohio native also tied for the conference lead in doubles with 20 two-baggers, a mark that ranked 14th in the country. He was the first EMU slugger to pace the MAC in doubles since Greg Ryan ac-complished the feat during the 1997 campaign.

1970 naia naTional ChaMpions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, 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.

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.

EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apartments and include living/learning center options.

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).

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.

In 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. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165-year history. Mar-tin 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, pro-fessor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Heather Lyke is in 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.

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.

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.

nCaa CoMplianCe The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institu-tional rules. The commitment to compliance en-sures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful com-pliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

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

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

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

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

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).
