2001 Season Outlook

TIGERS BEEF UP SCHEDULE IN HOPES OF NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH

THE UNTOUCHABLES

During Ihc 20(X) season, the Tigers improved by leaps and boundsand went on to record a six-game turnaround from the 1999 season, thanks to anoffense that finished the year ranked as high as fifth nationally, led by seniorstrikers Sean Eraser and Lars Thorstensen.

Last season, both Eraser and Thorstensen ranked among the top fivein Conference USA in scoring with Eraser leading all scorers with a school-record 41 points and 16 goals. Thorstensen managed to keep pace with the hisfellow striker and wasn't far behind with 13 strikes and 34 points on the yearwhich led to a third-team all-conference selection while Eraser took it a stepfurther and was honored as the Tigers lone first-team all-conference representa-tive.

This season, coach Grant welcomes four new forwards to his alreadypotent offensive arsenal and hopes to spice up his attack up front with theinfusion of new talent stemming from Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana whilealso picking up a local player from Memphis. Peter Cummings (Ennis, TX),Reid Greenslade (Horn Lake, MS), David Sommers (Mandeville, LA) and localproduct Matt Bryant (Memphis, TN/Ridgcway HS) will look to back-up theTigers starting all-conference duo of Eraser and Thorstensen while also prepar-ing to tackle similar supporting roles for Memphis in the near future.

"Up front, we clearly dis t in-guished ourselves from other squads withour .superior forwards in both Sean andLars. " said Grant. " That was the bestpart of our game last season and we feelby adding four quality players in Peter,Reid, Matt and David, if we do have tomake changes we won't lose much on top.Both Sean and Lars played extremely wellthis summer and if they can pickup wherethey left-off from last season, they havethe potential to become unstoppable."

MEMPHIS CONNECTION

The Tiger midfield displayed atrue "Memphis" flavor after being led bytwo local products, in senior midfielder

Justin Stralka and sophomore sensation Grant Paule. A second-team all-confer-ence selection in 2000, Stralka left the Reebok South Florida Classic withtournament MVP honors while Paule earned a spot on the all-tournament team.

Memphis also returns starting senior Ken Matsuba junior KirkRicketts and sophomore Dusty Brezovsky. Matsuba finished the season withthree assists from his outside midfielder position and Ricketts spent last seasonas one the first substitutes off the bench while Brezovsky began earning qualityback-up minutes during the last half of the season. Add true freshman DanielDobson (Garland, TX) hailing from the Lone Star state and Sommers who willpull double-duty at both forward and midfielder.and the Tigers appear to havea solid core of supporting midfielders.

"Across the middle, we brought in Daniel and David and with theolder players who played there last season in Justin, Kenny, Grant, Kirk andDusty, it's a great problem for me to have when I'm figuring out playing time, "said Grant. "Justin was a big part of our success last season and he helped uswith his outstanding fitness and energy on the field. He played well on bothsides of the ball and should only get better this season."

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE

Defensively, the Tigers will look to fill the role of departing seniorRyan Schweigert with two incoming freshman, but s t i l l remain intact returningthree everyday starters in local senior Stephen Lewis, junior Chris Schmidt andfreshman phenom Graham Gibbs. Lewis, a 2000 second-team all-conferenceselection, finished the year with eight points and three goals from his outsidedefender position and will serve as the Tigers' team captain this season. Schmidt,a native of Clarksville, Tenn., led all defenders with nine points including threeassists and like Lewis, played in 18 matches for Memphis. Gibbs displayed an

uncommon sense of maturity and poise while starting in the back for U ofM and finished the year as one of the most dominant defenders in all of C-USA while also collecting his first career assist.

Junior Darren Bevard, who saw action in six contests duringthe 2000 season, has looked especially promising during the spring andsummer training sessions and should challenge for a starting role in thefall. While local incoming products Justin Dyer and Jake German enterthe U of M after enjoing stellar playing careers at local powerhousesCBHS and Ridgcway HS where both freshman led their respective pro-grams to state runner-up finishes.

"By bringing back three of our four starters from last years defensein Stephen, Chris and Graham, we are extremely confident in our back line,"Grant stated. "Darren played very well in the spring and looked even betterthis summer, so he should get a chance to start for us. With Justin and Jake wethink they can step in immediately off the bench and give us good cover on theflanks. With the experience gained from last season and the fact that they area li t t le bit older, our starting defense should become that much better thisseason."

BETWEEN THE POSTS

At the goalkeeping position, the Tigers' freshman duo of ClarkTalley and Josh Isaacs worked well together last season but it was Talleywho earned the starting job before the season was underway.

The native Memphian went on to post four shutouts during hisinaugural campaign inc lud ing two conference victories against the likesof Louisiville and Marquette (both 1-0 decisions), while also earning all-freshman team accolades. Isaacs played in three matches during the 2000season, turned away three shots and failed to surrender a single goal.

The third addition to the line of Tiger keepers is Kansas Citynative Jason O'Bryan, who begins his career at the U of M after leadinghis Blue Valley North HS squad to a No. 15 national ranking and also anappearance in the Missouri state tournament.

"We feel one of our strengths has been goalkeeping and withthe addition of Jason, we should be even better," offered Grant. " He isa raw talent but after working with coach Norwood we are seeing vastimprovement. We expect a lot from Clark this season. He gained atremendous amount of experience last year in conference matches andshowed great poise. Josh has also played well this summer and hopefullywith three quality keepers we should be fine throughout the course of theseason."

TIGERS GEAR UP FOR NATIONAL SCENE

"We are extremely excited about our schedule and are anxiousto play some of these teams because of the higher level of competition,said Grant." "We told the players coming in, that our team was going toplay the best and we feel that be adding the No. 2 (Creighton) and No. 3(SMU) teams in the nation, that we can accurately gauge our talent andalso achieve our goal of the making the NCAA tournament. Plus with ourconference schedule we face the No. 15 team in Saint Louis and also the NO.19 squad in UAB. Throw in a early non-conference match with No. 21Il l inois-Chicago d u r i n g ourDiadora Memphis Invi ta t ional andour schedule looks pretty solid. Ifwe achieve our goal and we're play-ing well into the postseason, we willd e f i n i t e l y be wel l prepared andready to do some damage."

^^^J uring head coach Richie Grant's two-year tenure atthe U of M, three of his former players have progressed to-wards the next level. Memphis alums, Nick Glaser, Carl Schmittand Tommy White each signed professional contracts, duringthe offseason and are looking to impress at the next level.

Glaser officially joined the Nashville Metros in lateJanuary. The former Tiger midfielder is now logging minutesas a central midfielder for the Mid-South based-club. At thepoint of this publication, Glaser had logged over 270 minuteswith the Metros.

The Hendersonville, Tenn., native was a four-yearmember of the Tiger program and finished with career totalsof 34 points on 1 1 goals and 12 assists. Glaser saw action in

over 70 matches throughout his career, but it was his freshmanseason that earned him a permanent spot in the starting line-up. In 1997, he tallied career-highs in points (15), goals (5),assists (5) and shots (21).

Schmitt, another former midfielder at Memphis, alsoinked a deal with Metros in March of 2001. The lifelongMemphian spent just one season in a Tiger uniform, aftertransferring from South Alabama following his junior season.Known for his hard-nosed style of play, Schmitt

played in every game but one during his stop at Memphis andtallied an assist during a 4-2 win over Centenary.

As a defender/midfielder with the Metros this season,Schmitt had recorded over 400 minutes, while notching hisfirst career point with an assist.

White, a former striker at Memphis, also inked a pro-fessional deal after signing with the Milwaukee Wave of theNPSL (indoor league). The former Memphian and Germantownhigh school alum, left his mark as one of the most physicalplayers to have ever donned a Tiger uniform, who blendedspeed and strength to give opposing defenders headaches.

White is tied for 10th in career points (50) at the U ofM and finished with 18 goals and 14 assists in 73 total matches.His senior season proved to be his best, as White posted career-highs in goals (11) and points (27) with the former landing himamong the top ten in Conference USA.

2000 Season Recap

GRANT CAPTURES COACH OF THE YEAR HONORS

YOUR WISH IS GRANTED

Head coach R ich i e Gran t secured ConferenceUSA Coach of the Year honors in just his second seasonat the U of M, after gu id ing the Tigers to 14-6-0 markand a fourth place regular season finish, despite beingpicked to finish last in preseason polls. Grant now ownsthe d i s t i n c t i o n of becoming the U of M's f i rs t headcoach to receive the honor, s ince the conference'sincep t ion back in 1995.

GET FRASER

Forward Sean Fraser torched opposing defensesthrouhout the season, en route to establ ishing the newsingle-season record for points at the U of M with a 41-point explosion during his junior campaign. His league-leading 16 strikes were enough to prompt an all-con-ference selection (Tigers lone first-team honoree), thef i r s t s ince former Tiger Rogerio Lima secured con-secutive honors du r ing the 1996-97 seasons.

Fraser's conference-leading scoring mark standsas the second-highest single-season mark in the pro-grams history, while his four-goal performance againstLipscomb tied the school's all-time single-game recordwhich had stood untouched for over 13 seasons.

The Edmonton. Alberta, native went on to make aname for himself on the national stage, f in i sh ing the yeartied for 8"' in points per game (2.16) and tied for 15"' ingoals per game (0.84) in NCAA Division I.

TIGERS ROAR ONTO NATIONAL SCENE

W h i l e Memphis clearly dist inguished themselveson a regional scale, they also made waves throghout thenat ional scene, as well.

With the offense in high gear, the Tigers ended theseason ranked as the fifth-highest scoring unit in the na-tion and also posted the 27'" highest w inn ing percentagein the country. Memphis owned the dist inction of becom-ing the eighth most improved squad in the country, aftera six-same tu rna round from the 1999 season.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD

Sta t i s t ica l ly . Memphis appeared to be a differentteam, actually doubling their win total (7) from the previ-ous season and spent the majority of the 2000 campaignranked throughout the Midwest region, f in ishing as highas fifth at the close of business.

From a technical s tandpoint , the Tigers were in-deed a new team displaying a quick and aggressive styleof play. The strategy seemed to work, as the U of Meventual ly closed out league play with a 5-3 mark (com-pared wi th a 2-6 record in 1999) and advanced to thesemi-finals of the conference t o u r n a m e n t (after a one-year absence) before bowing out to even tua l championand No. 14 Sa in t Louis, 3-2.

A l o n g the way, Memphis put together the pro-grams longest winning-s t reak in four years, posting fiveconsecutive victories du r ing the months of Septemberand October. D u r i n g the streak, the Tigers postedc o n v i c i n g league victories over Lou i sv i l l e and DePaulwhile also coming out on top during a 3-2 overtime th r i l l e rat South Florida and a 5-2 win over Stetson, to capturethe Reebok USF Classic crown.

Once the f inal whistle had blown, the Tiger of-fense had not only doubled it 's 1999 total of 25 goalswith 59 strikes in 2000, but also established a new single-game record for goals with a 10-0 romp over Lipscombin late October.

The Tigers 14 wins in 2000 tied the school recordfor the most victories in a season, ma tch ing the 1992squad that f inished at an all-time high of 14-3-2.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

Heading into the f ina l two weeks of the regularseason, Memphis suffered a minor setback, dropping aheartbreaking double-overtime conference loss to then No.18 UAB but then rebounded for a crucial league matchversus Marqtiette that possessed tournament implications.

A win for the Tigers guaranteed that Memphiswould enter the tournament less with no less than a fourthseed, while a loss meant a late season race for the remain-ing two spots in the conference tournament.

The first half was a defensive battle and featured atotal of nine shots, f ive of which came courtesy of thepotent Tiger attack. The second half began just as intenseand appeared destined for extra-time unt i l the 56"' minute,when the Tigers dynamic duo of Fraser and third-teamall-conference forward Lars Thorstensen struck first bloodfor Memphis. However, the Tigers solid pressure in themidfield allowed Thorstensen to collect an errant GoldenEagle pass, where he sprinted down the middle and fed awide-open Fraser with a d e l i g h t f u l through-bal l , whichfroze the defense and eventually found the net. Frasertook over and capitolized with a deft one-on-one f in i shthat beat a sprawling Marquette keeper, for the game'sonly goal and an exciting 1-0 Memphis victory.

The U of M went on to take three of their last fourregular season matches, before entering the tournamentas the fourth seed and sporting a 13-5 mark. Memphisthen defeated f i rs t - round opponent C inc inna t i for thesecond time that year and advanced to the semi-f inalround with a 2-1 victory.

HOME COOKIN'

Homegrown Memphians and fellow juniors StephenLewis and Justin Stralka had more than just their hometown incommon at the end of the year, after both players honoredwith second-team all-conference selections.

Lewis and Stralka have an extended playing historytogether, after having been teammates at every level fromclub to state/regional ODP squads while also serving asteam captains last season. Lewis, a defender, led the Tigerdefense with eight points and three goals on the season.While Stralka, a midfielder, finished with 17 points (5 goals),one game-winner and was chosen MVP of the Reebok SouthFlorida Classic.

LEAVING AN IMPRESSION

Starting goalkeeper Clark Talley, was superb in justhis f irs t season bewteen the posts for the U of M, as theMemphis native went on to record two conference shutoutsover Louisvi l le and Marquette (both 1-0 victories) whilealso b l a n k i n g non-conference opponent Belmont d u r i n gthe season opener. The true freshman was one of only tworeturning Tigers to have played in every match last seasonand became the first Memphis keeper to earn a spot on theall-freshman squad, since former Tiger Brian Covey in 1996.

Head Coach Brooks Monaghan

Head CoachBrooks Monaghan

With no prior head coaching experience,it would suffice to say that first-yearcoach Brooks Monaghan had his workcut out for him last season. Add to thatthe fact that the University of Memphishad enjoyed only one winning season inthe program's five year existence, somemight have even thought he was tryingto sabbotage his own young career.

For Monaghan, however, the opportunityto leave his mark on a struggling Mem-phis Lady Tigers soccer program was ano-brainer. As a lifelong Memphian anda 1994 graduate of the U of M, Monaghan

has found the head coaching position aperfect fit.

In just his first season, Monaghan'ssquad picked-up four more wins than theseason before and missed the Confer-ence USA Championship Tournament byjust one game.

With his inaugural season firmly behindhim, Monaghan has had a chance to de-velop a team of his own heading into thisseason. He has brought in what is con-sidered the finest recruiting class in theprogram's history and his returning play-ers have adjusted to his coaching style.

"It's hard to turn things aroundon a short-term basis," saidMonaghan. "With new coachescome new ideas, and it's hardfor players and coaches to getused to one another."

"This year we've brought in anoutstanding group of playerswho we think will fit the mold ofwhat we're trying to do,"Monaghan continued. "We al-ready have a very strongnucleus of upperclassmen andthis year should set the stan-dard in developing the future ofour program."

Prior to becoming the Lady Ti-ger head coach, Monaghanserved as the primarygoalkeeper's coach and was avital part of the Memphis coach-ing staff during the program'sfirst four seasons. UnderMonaghan's guidance, the

Lady Tigers' goals against averagedropped from 2.743 in 1995 to 1.89 in1998.

As a player, Monaghan enjoyed a mon-ster collegiate career. After spendinghis freshman year at Evansville,Monaghan transferred to the U of M andhelped lead the Tigers to a share of theconference championship in 1992 andan outright title in 1993. As the Tigergoalkeeper, Monaghan posted a 0.80goals against average to go with 11shutouts and was named First TeamAll-Great Midwest Conference as a jun-ior. A prep standout at ChristianBrother's High School in Memphis,Monaghan's college career earned hima spot on the U-20 national squad.

Monaghan is hoping that the successhe enjoyed as a player will continue asa coach. "This is a team that could chal-lenge for a conference title," saidMonaghan. "Myself and our entire staffare very excited about what this sea-son holds for us."

Memphis Lady Tiger Soccer2001 Media Guid

Q &c A with Coach Monaghan

'It's going to be an exciting seasonQ. During your first season at the helm of Lady Tiger soccer, your squadposted the second-highest win total in the program's six-year existence.Talk a little about how the season unfolded and what overall approachseemed to yield the best results?

A. Overall, I was very happy with the end results of last season. Unfor-tunately we didn't make the conference tournament but we did put up agood overall record. Still, from a coaching standpoint, you can't be satis-fied. We lost some close games that we should have won and we prob-ably got lucky in a few that we actually did win, but we definitely have tocredit the players. We took a different approach and tried to take theintensity a little higher but ultimately the players stepped up and dideverything we asked. Plus, with a fresh coaching staff and a hungryteam, it all paid off for us.

Q. You lost five starting players (four seniors) including the reigning Con-ference USA Freshman of the Year (Jessica Gjertsen) from last year'ssquad, while this season you have just five or six starters coming back,three of which are seniors plus 12 incoming freshman. What type offormula will you use to counter those key losses and what type ofchanges, if any, can we expect from the 2001 Lady Tigers?

A. We did lose some key players from last season, but we feel that thisyear's crop may very well be one the strongest in the program's history.We realize however, that while they may look good on paper it remains tobe seen how well they will do. Still, we feel that with several of ourincoming players possessing a high level of international experience, itwill make us better. We wanted to focus our recruiting efforts on ourdefense and we feel that we have done that. Offensively, we will miss thegoals we received from Jessica (Gjertsen) and Candice (Spiniolas) butwe think we have some players coming in that can help us regain ourform. It's going to be very competitive and with our solid group returningfrom last season, it should be exciting to watch once the season arrives.

Q. This season's non-conference schedule includes matches againstSEC foes Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, while your squadwill also travel to take on a Big-12 opponent in Missouri. Considering thefact that TCU has officially entered C-USA this year, it's no secret thatthis season will serve as an even bigger challenge for your squad. Howwill you prepare for the long haul and aside from just merely win/losses,what type of overall results will you be looking for?

A. We scheduled these teams to make our season tougher. We feltthat by playing these teams it will hopefully make us better. By playinga tough non-conference schedule it makes you that much better pre-pared for conference play which will, in turn, decide how long we willcontinue to play this season. No matter where you look on this season'sschedule, there aren't any "gimmie"games, because everyone we playwill be a challenge. We want to win every game but our long-term goal isto make the conference tournament and with the addition of TCU andEast Carolina, there are several teams that can make a run in the tour-nament. With a little luck on our side, we feel that we can become oneof those teams.

Q. From a certain standpoint, the majority of your starting line-up re-mains intact, yet there are still a few holes to fill, primarily beginning withyour defense after losing three out of four starters. How will you balanceplaying time and aside from the defense, will we see any drastic changesto your line-up?

A. Once everyone has reported, they will all start with a clean slate andwill compete for starting jobs. Nothing is set in stone and with our return-ing nucleus of solid players and our large incoming freshman class, wewon't be set on anything until we are all on the same page. Regardlessof who played where last season, right from the beginning, the playerswho are demonstrating the best overall ability will get the playing time,be it freshman or senior.

Q. Talk a little about your three seniors, Michelle Meduri, Jen Thiele and SuzanneWilliams. You've obviously been around the program and have witnessed allthree of them develop during their careers at the U of M. Shed a little light onwhat they have meant to the program and what you expect from them duringtheir final season at Memphis?

A. / can't begin to say enough about these three kids. This spring, we satdown with each of them and talked about what they wanted to accomplishduring their senior seasons. I think all three of them are looking to end theircareers on a high note, they've all been working extremely hard this summerand it should pay off. Individually speaking, Michelle had a brilliant springseason and has been in town for the majority of the summer, working hard andgetting ready for the fall. I think her confidence is soaring. Jen Thiele spenta large portion of the season last fall recovering from an ACL injury. Shestarted slow in the beginning but finished strong. This year, she shouldn'thave any setbacks. I think she was a little timid about the strength of herknee but once she regained it, she was fine. As long as Jen is confident, shewill do wonders for us. Suzanne Williams had a great year last season andhas been working very hard this summer. She is going to be one of our mostsolid players in the back, more or less the anchor of our defense, and sheknows this. We've put a lot of pressure on her, but we feel confident that she'llstep up and do the job.

Q. On paper you seem to be roughly two-deep at every position, yet there isdefinitely an abundance of midfielders. Is this an early indication that you willuse primarily midfield-oriented formations or will several players be used atmore than one position?

A. / don't think that we will necessarily utilize a midfield-oriented attack, sim-ply because we won't know our strengths until we have seen our whole teampractice together. Still, we do have several players that we can play at morethan one position. Obviously we will try some new things and there may besome returning players that get shifted around a bit to some unfamiliar posi-tions but again, we are going to let the best players get the playing time.

Q. Anja Nielsen and Katarina Wicksell were two freshman who emerged aseveryday starters last season, early on. Talk a little about how they developedinto the team's overall success, what aided them along the way and what typeof roles you will expect them to tackle this year?

A. They were definitely a big part of our team's success last season. Theycame out a little slow but eventually jumped out in a big way. A big reason forthat was that both players seemed to adapt to their new lifestyles and sur-roundings quicker than usual. When you factor in the new language, weatherand teammates it could ha ve gone the other way but both players did a greatjob adjusting and because of that we went out and recruited some of our newfreshmen from Anja and Katarina's home nations, Denmak and Sweden. Bothplayers possess great leadership qualities and should return ready to go afterhaving gained a year of experience under their belts.

Q. Any lasting remarks you'd like to add?

A. We've got very high expectations for this season. We are going to be ayoung team but a lot of the newer players have tremendous amounts of expe-rience among them. As for our coaching staff, we have a year under our beltsso we know what to expect from the players and vice-versa. Now it's up to thereturning players to step up and become leaders. We do have some fresh-men coming in with international experience and once we can blend that withour returning players talent and knowledge of the game, we should be a/right.We are expecting our defense to become even stronger this season and wefeel that with the talent we've brought in, we can surprise some people with our

play. It's going to be an exciting season.

2001 Season Outlook

A TEAM ON THE RISE:2001 Lady Tiger Soccer

The polished accolades on the desk and hanging from the walls inBrooks

Monaghan's office reflect the success that he constantly demandedfrom

himself and from his teammates during his stellar career as the U of Mgoalkeeper. As a member of the 1992 Co-Great Midwest Conference

cham-pions and a key player in the Tigers' outright conference championship in1993, Monaghan became familiar with the taste of victory.

In just his second season as the University of Memphis women's soccercoach, Monaghan is hoping that this year's Lady Tigers squad will sharethe same experience by the end of the season.

"This is one of the hardest working and deepest teams I have ever beenaround," said Monaghan. "I think that our strength comes from a strongnucleus of returning players and what could pan out to be the bestrecruiting class in the history of the program."

This year's crop of newcomers, like the game of soccer itself, has alarge international appeal. Monaghan has brought in two English players,a duo from Denmark, a Canadian and a Swedish defender. Four otherincoming freshmen didn't have to worry about visas or passports: theAmerican contingent includes preps from Wisconsin, Oklahoma and atrio of Memphians.

Regardless of the immense talent of their newcomers, the Lady Tigerswill be leaning heavily upon the leadership of three veteran seniors tolead the way. According to Monaghan, midfielder Michelle Meduri anddefenders Jen Thiele and Suzanne Williams are fully prepared toassume their important roles.

"We [the coaching staff] sat the seniors down at the beginning of theseason and let them know that we need their leadership all the way,"said Monaghan. "They're a very mature group and they're ready to getthe season going, I have a ton of confidence in their ability."

According to Monaghan, the 2001 Lady Tigers have the ability to leavetheir mark on the University of Memphis record books.

"If we play the soccer that I know we're capable of playing, this team willcompete for a Conference-USA title," Monaghan said.

DEFENSE...

Talented sophomore goalkeeper Katarina Wicksell will be the anchorfor this year's Lady Tiger defense. The Katrineholm, Sweden, nativeearned the starting keeper's job during the second game of the seasonand finished the year with 17 starts. Wicksell's stingy goaltending helpedher earn four shutouts last season.

"Wicksell should be one of the top keepers in the conference this year,"said Monaghan. "Last season she went through a brief adjusting period,but she will be much more comfortable in goal when we get going thisyear."

Wicksell is lucky enough to be joined by two experienced defenders inseniors in Thiele and Williams, who have combined for 89 games played.Williams is regarded as the most physical player on the Lady Tigers'roster and Thiele bounced back from a knee injury to start six of Mem-phis' final seven games last season.

Also figuring to add to the defensive mix are junior Tiffany Thompson,sophomore Veronica Ruiz and newcomers Annika Moller andAngela Willoughby.

Moller and Willoughby could even be major contributors right away."There are some holes we are looking to fill immediately," said Monaghan."Willoughby is a central defender who wil provide us a big presence inthe middle of the park and Moller has top-notch experience that you justcan't teach."

MIDFIELD...

Summer experience always helps to keep athletes at their best and twoLady Tiger midfielders were busy honing their skills in top-flight leaguesduring the summer of 2001. Junior Allison Baker starred for the WLeague's Memphis Mercury this summer and will anchor the Memphismidfield this fall. Sophomore Anja Nielsen returned home to Horsens,Denmark, where she competed in the prestigious Denmark League. Bakerand Nielsen were the only Lady Tigers to play in every match last sea-son, Nielsen was the only player to start all 20 games in 2000.

Senior Michelle Meduri returns for her fourth season as a Lady Tigermidfielder. Last season, the Germantown, Tenn., native appeared in 17matches, starting 10, and will be looked to as a vocal leader this year.

"Midfield is a position where leadership is very important," said Monaghan." We're looking to Meduri to pull things together for us both on and off thefield this year."

Junior Rebecca Amrozowicz was fourth on the squad in total pointslast season and should provide more offensive firepower from the out-side midfield position again this year.

Looking to challenge the aforementioned upperclassmen is a talentedgroup of five freshmen, including: Laura Barse, Amy Ciezki, DelilahHogan, Carina Vilhodt and Susannah Wells.

FORWARDS...

After losing over 70 percent of last year's offense, it would be more thanfair to say that Monaghan was pressed to find players who can score."It's tough to bring in two goal-scorers who can match the kind of outputthat we had last year," admitted Monaghan.

Ironically, that may have been exactly what the head coach did in the off-season. Monaghan had to literally look near and far before signing a pairof forwards who he hopes will have an immediate impact on his team.Local standout Mary Shelton of St. Benedict High School in Memphisand foreign product Michelle Sorensen of Denmark are the leadingcandidates to start at forward after an impressive pre-season camp.

Sophomores Jennifer Goff and Jennifer Bronars are the lone return-ees at the forward spots. Goff played in 15 matches and was often thefirst player off the bench last season and Bronars may have been thegood luck charm for the Lady Tigers last season - Memphis was aperfect 5-0 and outscored opponents 20-3 with her on the field in 2000.

Freshman Monica Powell is a speedster who adds versatility to theLady Tigers' offensive scheme.

THE SEASON...

The Lady Tigers begin their 2001 campaign on the road in Colombia, Mo.,against Missouri on August 31 and play their home opener two dayslater against Southwest Missouri St. on September 2. Conference-USAplay opens with the Lady Tigers traveling to St. Louis to take on theBillikens and wraps-up at home against Southern Florida. The Confer-ence USA Championships Tournament will be held November 6-9 inMilwaukee, Wis., at Marquette.

2000 Lady Tigers Season In Review

Despite missing the conference playoffs by less thantwo games, the 2000 Lady Tigers managed to put-upnine impressive victories to finish the season with thesecond-highest win total in the history of the program- two wins shy of the 11-10-1 Lady Tigers of 1997.

Head Coach Brooks Monaghan blended the invalu-able experience of four workhorse seniors with theyouthful exuberance of two freshmen and two sopho-mores to make up the nucleus for his 2000 startinglineup. Seniors Nicole Bates-Earner, Michele Meehan,Candice Spiniolas and Tori Winslett combined for 219starts, 40 goals and 111 points in their four years asLady Tigers. Their experience rubbed-off on under-classmen Molly Danaher, All Baker, Anja Nielsen andJessica Gjertsen; all of whom started every game forMemphis.

The result was as mixed as the experience ofMonaghan's starters. The 2000 Lady Tigers managedstunning wins over Tulane, DePaul and SEC rivalMississippi State, but dropped decisions againsttraditionally weaker programs such as DAB andSouthern Mississippi.

RAWE 'DOGS' SEC FOE...Freshman keeper Kari Rawe was unbeatable inMemphis' 1-0 victory over Mississippi State onOctober 10. After Meehan's goal 20:10 into the firsthalf, Rawe blanked the Bulldogs for the remainderof the opening period and the entirety of the second.The Alberta, Canada, native was much busier thanher Bulldog counterpart, posting six saves on 11 MSUshots, while the Lady Tigers managed one tally ononly seven shots on goal.

Rawe appeared between the posts in eight games in2000, holding a team-leading .633 saves percentageand an overall record of 1-0.

CONFERENCE CLASSICS...The 2000 season saw the Lady Tigers pick up memo-rable in-conference victories over DePaul, Tulane andLouisville. On September 27, Memphis and DePaul

were engaged in a score-less tie with nearly 48minutes left to play, untilSpiniolas erupted forback-to-back goals - thesecond coming at the63:12 mark - on assistsfrom freshman forwardJennifer Goff andWinslett, respectively. The2-0 victory was the LadyTigers first conferencevictory of the season.

What originally beganas a defensive battlequickly turned intosecond-half fireworkswhen the Lady Tigerssquared-off againstTulane on September29. Gjertsen, the 2000Conference USA Fresh-man of the Year, foundthe back of the net onback-to-back goals atthe 51:16 and 69:37mark, but the GreenWave responded withtwo goals from MeganStack to tie the game with under six minutes remain-ing. The resilient Lady Tigers saw their chance withless than three minutes to play and capitalized whenSpiniolas served a perfect cross to Winslett, whofinished with a dramatic header. The win evened theLady Tigers' overall record at 6-6.

Memphis' final C-USA victory of the season camein a 6-2 drubbing of Louisville. Tied 2-2 going intothe break, Monaghan's adjustments paid instantdividends in the second half as Spiniolas collecteda hat trick on three-consecutive goals and Gjertsencapped the scoring at the 82:03 mark.

LATE SEASON SLIDE...Coming off a 6-2 Conference USA victory overLouisville and with three C-USA games remaining,the Lady Tigers were poised to make their first post-season appearance since 1997. Instead, they hit theirlengthiest skid of the season, beginning with a heart-breaking 2-1 loss at the hands of Cincinnati, followedby defeats at St.Louis and Houston. Memphis wasoutshot by 30 attempts and outscored by a margin of8-2 over its final three conference contests and theLady Tigers missed the Conference USA Champion-ship Tournament by a game-and-a-half.

PAYBACK'S A 4-0 SHUTOUT...With their late season blunder - and their chancefor a C-USA playoff berth - behind them, the LadyTigers used senior day 2000 to take out their frustra-tion on local rival Christian Brothers. Spiniolas endedher stellar U of M career on a first-half goal at the5:29 mark and passed the torch to Gjertsen, who fireda hat trick on assists from Spiniolas, Suzanne Williamsand Baker. The win left the Lady Tigers just one winaway from .500... and with a sense that better thingsawait them in the future

.

T he University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban universitycommitted to scholarly accomplishments of our students andfaculty and to the enhancement of our community. The Uni-versity of Memphis offers 15 bachelor's degrees in more than 50

majors and 70 concentrations, master's degrees in 45 subjects and doctoraldegrees in 18 disciplines, in addition to the Juris Doctor (law) and a specialistdegree in education. The University of Memphis campus is located on 1,160acres with nearly 200 buildings at more than four sites. During a typical semes-ter, students come from almost every state and many foreign countries. Theaverage age of full-time undergraduates is 23. The average ACT score forentering freshman is 22.

Me Ht putT

he University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the GeneralEducation Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known origi-nally as West Tennessee Normal School, the institution opened its doorsSept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the Tigeras the mascot. (Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during theCivil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after thatdivisive conflict.)

Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was openedin the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm wasbuilt; today that dorm, Scales Hall, houses the academic counseling offices.

In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College.Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W.Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935the school's agriculture department was discontinued.

The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in1946 the first alumnus was named president, J. Millard "]ack" Smith. In 1950 graduatestudies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semestersystem.

In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959the university admitted its first black students, and the first doctoral programs began in1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructedacross the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSUbecame the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curricu-lum.

The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom.In 1994 MSU became The University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Librarywas completed. As the century closed, a 1,200-seat theater was being completed, andplans were underway for the FedEx Emerging Technology Center adjacent to the FogelmanCollege of Business and Economics and a full-service hotel and hospitality training facility,a $ 15 million gift from Holiday Inns founder Kemmons Wilson.

Today, The University of Memphis is one of Tennessee's two comprehensive institu-tions of higher learning. Situated on an urban campus in the state's largest city, it is theflagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degreesannually.

With an enrollment of approximately 20,000 students, The University of Memphishas 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five state-approved centers of excellence.

&. ConditioningThe Tiger Strength and Condition-

ing facility located next to the newly re-modeled indoor turf room in the southcampus' Billy J. Murphy Athletic Com-plex, opened in January 1993 andserves each of the University's intercol-legiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsi tyweightroom is equipped with rugged,versatile hardware such that groups ofup to 70 student-athletes can train con-currently with optimal effectiveness andefficiency.

Workouts are designed and super-vised by one of the Strength and Con-ditioning staff's certified specialists, andeach student-athlete's individualprogress is projected via computerizeddatabase. The Tiger Power philosophycouples functional, mulit-joint move-ments with fundamental principles: ex-ercise techniques are simplified andperformed on an alternating heavy/ex-plosive basis in order to maximize train-ing effects while minimizing teachingand training time (as well as fatique).Performance based fitness and workquality are the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment up-grade plan reflects this philosophy andincludes: 10 self-contained Olympic plat-forms and power racks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a complete dumb-bell line; and a variety of hip sleds,gluteham stations, cable stations andother supplemental pieces allowing stu-dent-athletes to perform an unlimitedvariety of exercises and movements.The modern and spacious facility is alsoequipped with dressing/restrooms; isnaturally illuminated; and is maintainedat a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range TigerPower programs, student-athletes areassigned to respective developmentallevels based on individual ability andtraining history. For example, newcom-ers begin with an extensive volume of"foundational" or generalized move-ments; and progress toward more inten-sive and specialized exercises witheach successive phase.

The actual workout menu may re-main fairly constant over a student-athlete's four or five year sport career,however broad variations in workloadcombine the program's simplicity witha measure of sophistication.

Traditions

WHY TIGERS?When the University of Memphis first fielded

a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had se-lected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team, tabbedthem only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of WestTennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season, therewas a student parade. During this event, severalNormal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers".The nickname was born.

More and more the nickname "Tigers" wasused, particularly in campus publications. But itdid not catch on with the newspapers downtown.They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue andGray" when referring to the University.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922,Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to thatold student yell about Tigers. The team adopted amotto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score174 points while allowing their opponents just 29points.

In the late 1920s, student publications anddowntown newspapers began referring to the foot-ball team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tigernickname would return. But not until 1939 was itfinally adopted as the official nickname for the Uni-versity of Memphis.

A BENGAL FOR A

MASCOTFor almost 30 years, the sideline mascot for

the University of Memphis athletics has been theBengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mas-cot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger foot-ball games, as well as numerous basketball games.TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soc-cer and women's basketball games.

The first tiger, purchased by the HighlandHundred (football booster group) in 1972, livedfor 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo.TOM died in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrivedin Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9,1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel inMichigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'HareInternational Airport. There it was placed aboarda Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM.C. Cleveland Drennon, an attorney and presidentof the Highland Hundred, approved a check for$ 1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken toathletic director Billy Murphy's office for a pressconference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium, the Highland Hundred officially presentedTOM to the University on November 11,1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daugh-ter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Mem-phis, however, a contest was held to name themascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a com-mittee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ranfrom Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan,Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and

Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Ten-nessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two:Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOMwon.

During his first few months in Memphis,Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, whichwas redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOMwas guarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Mem-phis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his newhome at Nixon Farms in Collierville, Tenn. Hisnew home is 3500 square feet and includes twopools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned denbox and has seperately, a complete medical fa-cility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger isnearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as largeor larger than his predecessor, TOM, who wasonce the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550pounds. There is even a birthday party for TOMII prior to each football season.

SCHOOL COLORSThe University of Memphis' official school
