VOLLEYBALLHead coach Santiago Restrepo, in his second year at thehelm, and his Sooners finished with a 7-22 overall markand a 2-18 record in Big 12 play. OU faced a tough sched-ule, playing 10 of its matches against top-25 teams, andnine of those were against conference foes.

The Sooners started the season on a three-match win-ning streak, taking victories over TCU, Indiana and Loyola.The Sooners went on to claim conference wins overBaylor and Texas Tech and non-conference wins over UT-San Antonio and UT-Arlington.

Academically, Oklahoma tied its highest number of hon-orees since the inception of the Big 12 Conference withseven Sooners being named to the Academic All-Big 12teams. Senior Gabriela Tonon, juniors Anna Monsen andJoanna Schmitt and sophomores Julie Chester and AnnaStadel were named to the first team.

Junior middle blocker Eliane Santos was recognized byCollegiate Volleyball Update as one of the top five block-ers in the country. Santos, a transfer from College ofSouthern Idaho, finished the season with a team-leading1.57 blocks per game and also led the Sooners in kills pergame (3.86).

SOCCERThe 2005 version of the Oklahoma soccer team(13-6-1 overall, 5-4-1 Big 12) started the seasonon a tear, winning 11 of its first 12 games. OUwould finish the season with a 13-6-1 overallmark and a 5-4-1 record in the Big 12.

OU, led by seventh year head coach RandyEvans, began the program’s 10th year of exis-tence with an overtime win at Saint Louis and, after suf-fering its first loss at Wisconsin, rattled off nine consecutivevictories. Perhaps the most impressive part of the school-record,nine-game winning streak was the three straight victories to beginconference play as OU found itself atop the Big 12 standings for the firsttime in school history.

Despite the strong start, OU struggled in the final seven regular seasongames before ending the regular season with a 3-2 win at OklahomaState. That win sent the Sooners to the Big 12 Championship for thefourth time. Seeded seventh, OU lost what proved to be the final gameof the season against No. 2 seeded Colorado.

Senior captain Lauren MacIver capped off her successful career atOklahoma and added to her list of accolades with a selection to the2005 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) andSoccer Buzz All-Central Region second teams.The selection is the highest such honor for any Sooner in the program’sbrief history. MacIver became the Sooners’ second All-Big 12 first teammember and the first since 2001 (Logan Womack).

FOOTBALLHe said it when he was hired and the 2005 team showed it on the field as Bob Stoops and his Sooners

turned a 2-3 start into an 8-4 final mark, using a no excuses approach that OU fans have come toexpect.

A bevy of factors contributed to a slow start, but Stoops, true to his hiring-day declaration, refused torecognize any of them. Following his lead, a young team slowly gained confidence and developedchemistry.

The Sooners won five of their last six games and added a bowl win on the end of the season thatmany believe is a springboard to another championship run in 2006.

The Pacific Life Holiday Bowl provided OU a trip to beautiful San Diego against the highest rankedteam to be left out of the Bowl Championship Series. The sixth ranked Oregon Ducks providedthe kind of opposition that could ruin even San Diego. But the Oklahoma defense ruled thenight, right up to the time that Clint Ingram picked off a pass to end Oregon’s final drive and OUnotched a 17-14 victory.

Oregon was the last in a string of quality opponents in 2005 as OU played the most difficultschedule in Division I-A, yet still posted an 8-4 mark, including a 6-2 record (tied for second) in

the Big 12 South.

All-Big 12 honors went to LB Rufus Alexander, DT Dusty Dvoracek, OT Davin Joseph and RBAdrian Peterson.

The 2005 Sooners led the Big 12 in football attendance and ran the consecutivestring of televised games to 43. Balance was the byword of the offense with 2,131

passing yards and 2,130 rushing yards.

MEN’S GYMNASTICS2006 National ChampionsComing into the 2006 season, OU head coach MarkWilliams had no idea how the season would play out.When the campaign ended in April, Williams had addedanother national title with a team loaded with freshmantalent.

With a core of returning gymnasts, led by captains JamieHenderson and Jonathan Horton, Williams plugged thefreshmen into the right spots in the Sooner lineup andcame away with program’s seventh national title. Alongwith taking the NCAA Championship, the No. 1 Soonersfinished the season with a perfect 31-0 record.

For the third straight year, the University of Oklahoma ledall schools in total All-America honors. Six Sooners wereresponsible for upping the total to 14 in 2006. Leadingthe way was Horton, who earned All-America honors infive events (all-around, floor exercise, still rings, parallel

bars, high bar). Horton became a three-time NCAA cham-pion, winning the individual title in the all-around, floorexercise and still rings.

Other All-Americans included Jamie Henderson (pommelhorse, still rings), Brian Carr (pommel horse), TaqiyAbdullah-Simmons (all-around, vault, parallel bars), ChrisBrooks (high bar) and Reed Pitts (floor exercise, vault).

The Oklahoma team also rolled to its second consecutiveand seventh overall Mountain Pacific Sports FederationChampionship. Horton was named MPSF Gymnast of theYear and Williams was named co-MPSF Coach of the Year.For Williams, it was his second consecutive honor andsixth overall. The Sooners also won three individual MPSFtitles. Horton won the floor exercise and still rings whileBrooks earned the high bar title with a 9.525

WOMEN’S BASKETBALLIt was a season for the record books, and when the 2005-06 season was over, the

record book had a much different look.

OU became the first team to go a combined 19-0 against leagueopponents, and was one of only four teams nationally to run

the table against their league.The unprecedented run netted the Sherri Coale-led Sooners

their fourth regular season Big 12 Championship and theirthird Big 12 Tournament Championship, both league bests.

OU’s 19-game winning streak topped the previous best of 18 winsproduced by the 2000-01 team. The consistent success was felt at

LNC, which was packed to record levels. An average crowd of 7,630 turnedout for 13 home contests. All 13 of the 2005-06 home games ranked among the top 50 crowds in program

history, including the second and third sellouts in school history. The single game attendance record was bro-ken (12,112 vs. Baylor) and three of the top four single game crowds in OU history occurred during the final

month of the regular season.

On an individual level, freshman center Courtney Paris brought home a bounty of awards and established herself asa marquee national figure in the sport. Paris became the first true freshman to claim consensus first team All-America

honors since 1994 (when the AP All-American Team was started). She also took home National Freshman of the Year,Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year and Big 12 Championship MVP honors. It was no sur-

prise after she broke 55 OU records, 16 Big 12 records and four NCAA records.

Coale earned Big 12 Coach of the Year and WBCA Region 5 Coach of the year honors and was a candidate for all but one of theNational Coach of the Year awards. The Sooner mentor’s squad improved its win total by 14 over the previous season, one of thebest turnarounds of any team in the country.

Paris wasn’t the only Sooner player to be honored as Leah Rush (second team All-Big 12), Erin Higgins (All-Big 12 tourney team,HM All-Big 12), Britney Brown (HM All-Big 12), and Chelsi Welch (HM All-Big 12) also picked up postseason honors. OU led theBig 12 in academic honors as well with seven players earning Academic All-Big 12 awards. Three Sooners were named to CoSIDAAll-DistrictVI academic team. Coale’s influence in the classroom has led to 20 straight semesters of a cumulative 3.0 team GPA orbetter.

BASEBALL

The 2006 Sooners, under first-year head coach Sunny Golloway, completed one of the most successful sea-sons for OU since the Sooners made back-to-back trips to the College World Series in 1994 and 1995.

The Sooners finished the 2006 season with a 45-22 overall record and a third place finish in theBig 12 (17-10). OU was the last conferenceteam standing in the NCAA Tournament andits 45 victories tied the sixth highest total inschool history (1988). Only the 1994 (50),1985 (55), 1976 (62), 1975 (52) and 1973(48) teams had more wins.

OU, which was ranked as high as eighth forthree consecutive weeks during the season,was one win away from appearing in its10th College World Series before droppinggame three of the Houston Super RegionalFinal on June 12 at No. 1 Rice.

Before earning a spot in the program’sfirst Super Regional (new format origi-

nated in 1999), the Sooners hostedthe first ever NCAA Regional at L. Dale Mitchell Park, which opened in 1982. The home-field

advantage provided the squad with four consecutive wins out of the loser’s bracket enroute to OU’s first regional title since 1995 (last appearance at the CWS).

A big factor in the Sooners’ success in 2006 was the solid defense. Heading intothe 2006 CWS, OU still owned the nation’s top fielding percentage (.983), a rank-

ing the Sooners had held for seven consecutive weeks.

Golloway lost 12 seniors from the 2006 team but will return seven positionplayers (Joe Dunigan, Joseph Hughes, Aaron Ivey, Kody Kaiser, Brandon

Moss, Aaron Reza and Jackson Williams) who started or saw significanttime and two hurlers with starting experience (Ryan Mottern and Brad

Burns) for the 2007 season.

SOFTBALLFor the 13th straight year, the Oklahoma softball team notched a 40-win season after posting an overall record of 40-21-1. That mark included an 8-10 record in Big 12 play. The young Sooner squad made a strong postseason run, winning 12of its final 15 contests, eventually finishing second in the Big 12 Championship and advancing to the NCAA RegionalFinals for the seventh consecutive season.

Despite a roster with only two seniors, the Sooners were an offensive juggernaut, topping all Big 12 schools in ninedifferent offensive categories. OU also ranked among the top 10 in the country in batting average. The Sooner defensewas also solid, setting a school record with 24 double plays.

Junior Norrelle Dickson and senior Kristin Vesely led the Sooner offense. Vesely represented the Sooners on the NFCAAll-America first team after batting .440 with 49 RBI and 123 total bases. The four-time All-Big 12 performer andtwo-time All-American finished her career as the all-time hits leader in OU history.

Dickson became a two-time All-American after she was named to the second team in 2006. OU’s leadoff batterclaimed the Big 12 batting title (.449 avg.) and topped all other Big 12 players in runs scored, hits and on-base per-centage. Vesely and Dickson also finished in the top 10 in the NCAA in batting average.

The future looks bright for the Sooners who only lose two seniors and return eight starters, including All-MidwestRegion selections sophomore infielder Savannah Long and freshman designated player Samantha Ricketts, the 2006RBI leader for the Sooners. Traci Dickenson, a second team All-Big 12 selection, also will return in 2007.

WOMEN’S GOLF

With just one senior leading the squad, the youngSooner lineup experienced some highs and lowsthroughout the 2005-06 season. The Sooners startedoff the season with two seventh place finishes at theBadger Invitational in Madison, Wis. and the MaryFossum Invitational in East Lansing, Mich. SophomoreKelly Jacques emerged as the leader with a career-besttie for seventh place at the Badger Invitational, thenimproved to a career-best third place finish.

The Sooners recorded a season-high fifth place finish atthe“Mo”Morial Invitational during the spring semesteras Jacques tied for eighth place, her third top-10 finishof the season. Kendall Dye, a true freshman, led theway for the Sooners at the Betsy Rawls LonghornInvitational, tying for 11th place, her career best. OUhosted the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in April at theJimmie Austin OU Golf Course, finishing with a season-low score of 913.

Off the course, the Sooners continued to excel. A con-ference-leading five golfers were named to theAcademic All-Big 12 first team. Senior Amparo Gala,juniors Megan Goodwin and Stelzer, sophomoreJacques, and redshirt freshman Staci Smoot made theteam. Gala earned Big 12 Conference Medallion, pre-sented to the OU senior student-athlete, who bestcombines athletic and academic excellence.

Endowed Scholarship ProgramTakes FlightThe women’s basketball program added another $1 million to its scholarship endowment, funding five more schol-arships to bring the total of endowed women’s basketball scholarships to 10. The success of the program can beattributed to the new “foundation player” concept and Coach Sherri Coale’s personal involvement, according toDeren Boyd, Assistant Athletics Director - Development.

“The Endowed Scholarship Program is attracting a lot of interest,”Boyd said. “Our donors seem to be motivated bythe idea of a ‘family’ of scholarship winners. What is working for women’s basketball can also work for our othersports. We look forward to having the same success across the board.”

Recently, the athletics development staff launched “foundation player” endowed scholarship initiatives for men’sbasketball and football. The campaign will be fully implemented by fall.

The scholarship campaign matches donors with the former OU student-athletes who helped build the history andtradition of OU Athletics. Current student-athletes receive the scholarship and enjoy the benefits of the educationit provides for the years they attend OU.

As each student-athlete is named the recipient of a particular“foundation player” scholarship, the family of scholarshipwinners grows.
