2004 Season Outlook/** coking down the University of Memphis

I men's soccer roster, the obvious is easy*• • * to point out. The 2004 squad is young.

Fourteen freshmen compose 56 percent of the 25player lineup.

"As you're building a program, it just takestime," said men's head coach Richie Grant. "It takesa few years to get the program exactly where youwant it to go. We're very excited about the size andthe quantity of the incoming class we have."

But don't think this year is a rebuilding year.Eight of the nine returning players make up last year'sstarting 11 led by all-Conference-USA second teamselections Andy Metcalf and Dayton O'Brien.

Behind the experienced leadership that in-cludes four seniors and the unlimited resource ofyouthful talent, the Tigers look to improve on lastyear's 8-8-2 record.

"We're very focused on the contributions ofthe returning players," Grant said. "The com-mitments they made last spring are whatwe believe will be the foun- j.__ —_,_dation of the team this 'year. While we're

Andy MetcalfForward

young, we return a lot of players that have madesignificant contributions in the last few years."

In 2003, Memphis finished 1-6-2 in C-USAaction, ending in ninth place for the second-straight year and being left out of the six-team con-ference tournament, a tournament hosted by theTigers. The last time Memphis made the tourna-ment came in 2000 when the team finished fourthwith a 5-3 conference record.

However, results can be different in 2004.This year's team has the potential and is deter-mined to make a large splash early on as it beginspreseason play on August 24 against cross-townChristian Brothers University.

"We have a very simple ap-^^jpv^jt proach to the season," Grant

said. "As a coach, it's a cliche,but we take it one game at atime. Our goal in the begin-ning of the season is to

make the conferencetournament."

Coaches

Richie/Grant

heads intohis sixth

season asthe head

coach for theTigers after leading

Lambuth University for fouryears. In his nine seasons, Grant

has compiled a record of 102-76-7 (.570), picking up his 100"' ca-

reer win last season. The 34-year-old Ireland native has helped the Ti-

gers eclipse the 10-win mark twiceand has led the team to a record of .500

or better in three of the last four sea-sons. He enters the 2004 season with a

45-41-5 record (.522) at Memphis.Aiding Grant on the sidelines, Robert

Nicholson enters his second year as an assis-tant coach with Memphis. The Scotland native

joined the Tigers after two years at ChristianBrothers University where he assisted both the

men's and women's teams. He had an importanthand in leading the CBU women's squad to a Divi-sion II National Championship in 2002.

"Robbie (Nicholson) is a key component towhat we are trying to do with our program," Grantsaid. "I expect that you will see the influence thatRobby had in the spring on our team this fall."

The Tigers added a second assistant coachthis year bringing in former U of M star CarlSchmitt. He joins the coaching staff after playingthree years with the Milwaukee Wave of the Ma-jor Indoor Soccer League (MISL). TheGermantown, Tenn., native played his senior yearin 1999 for Grant after transferring from South

Alabama where he helped lead the Jaguars to the1998 Big South Conference title.

"Carl (Schmitt) brings energy and passion,"Grant said. "I think it's great for our players tosee firsthand what it's like to make the transitionto the pros. We're hopeful a lot of our players ad-vance from college to the level beyond, and Carlwill help them in making the transition."

Four seniors lead the team into the 2004 sea-son. Midfielder/defender Daniel Dobson servesas the team captain and joins two other three-yearletterwinners in midfielder John Reilly and de-fender Justin Dyer as well as last year's startinggoalie Sebastian Vecchio.

"I think this is the best senior class in termsof their commitment to be successful this year,"Grant said. "This is a group of players that havebeen frustrated with not accomplishing our goalsthe last few years. Our senior players will need tohave strong performances, and they will need tobe leaders of our team throughout the season."

Forwards

The forward position will be led by junior AndyMetcalf followed by a talented group of freshmen.

"We've always had very good attacking play-ers at Memphis, and this season is no different,"Grant said. "We have tremendous options."

The Tigers will look for Metcalf to be a goalscorer on the team. The Jackson, Tenn., nativehad a breakout year in 2003. One of only two play-ers to start all 18 games, Metcalf led the team with10 goals and 24 points. He earned All-MidwestRegion second team and All-C-USA second teamhonors last year as well as being named an aca-demic All-American.

"(Metcalf) is the most natural finisher thatwe have," Grant said. "For us to be successful,we will rely on him scoring goals.

"After the tremendous year he had last year,he will be heavily marked. He'll probably getcloser attention from the opposition this year thanhe did last year. He's had a season of PDL (Pre-mier Development League) that's prepared him.Andy continues to develop on a daily basis, and Ithink he's ready for the challenge."

Freshmen newcomers Marcus McCarty,Tyler Camp and Brett Schreiber, who Grant saidis a fiery center forward in the mold of former Uof M star Tommy White, will also compete forplaying time in the forward position.

Midfielders

Juniors Dayton O'Brien and CormacMcArdle and seniors Daniel Dobson and JohnReilly lead a talented crop of midfielders.

"Our midfield is very attack-minded and verystrong," Grant said. "We have plenty of optionson the left side."

\ Tigers Soccer

2004 Media Guide

O'Brien followed up his All-C-USAfreshmancampaign with a strong performance in 2003, cap-turing all-conference second team and All-MidwestRegion third-team honors. The junior joined Metcalfas the only two players to start all 18 games. He endedthe year second on the team with nine goals and 23points and led the team with five assists. O'Brienalso led the team with a .237 shot percentage.

Coming off an excellent spring, McArdleshould lead the Tigers' attack. A prolific scorer,McArdle transfered to Memphis from NAIA'sThomas University (Ga.). He was named ThomasUniversity's Offensive MVP after scoring 52points on 21 goals and 10 assists as a sophomorein 2003 and earning honorable mention All-Ameri-can honors.

Reilly struggled last season after scoring eightgoals and making 20 points as a sophomore in 2002.His reemergence will be key for the Tigers in 2004.

Dobson produced career highs last year witha pair of goals and added four assists for a total ofeight points. Memphis will have a unique forma-tion this year and will use the team captain as aholding player. Grant will use Dobson to play inthe center of the field and distribute the ball inboth directions.

"(Dobson) will have to have a strong seasonon both sides of the ball; attacking and defending,"Grant said.

This is also an important season for HarrisonRiser and Brad Whitsitt after strong freshmen sea-sons. Kiser started 17 games and appeared in all 18matches. He scored a goal and made two assists.Whitsitt appeared in 15 games in 2003, stalling threeof them. He scored two goals and added three as-sists for seven points. The coaches believe Whitsitthas gotten stronger over the spring.

Junior transfer Stephen Cooling, DublinCity University (Ireland), and freshmen AdamMontgomery, Aaron Volanski, Adam Raborn,Jared Touchstone and Bradley Phillips will alsocompete for playing time in the midfield position.Grant said Montgomery is the best new player thisyear from the state of Tennessee.

Defenders

Senior Justin Dyer and junior GaryConnolly head an inexperienced group of defend-ers into the season, but both will have the oppor-tunity to shine.

"Gary Connolly and Justin Dyer have the po-tential to be two of the best defenders in theleague," Grant said. "They need to have strongseasons and use their experience.

"Our defense is an area that we've had tostrengthen. We've had to focus on it in our springtraining, and we've had to recruit players that canstep in immediately."

The Tigers will miss last year's senior teamcaptain, Graham Gibbs, but Grant said he believesthe addition of freshman Michael Coburn, astrong, physical defender, will help lessen the loss.

"While we're young, we return a lot of playersthat have made significant contributions in thelast few years."

Richie GrantMemphis head coach

A freshmen trio of Mark Gourlay, AfifNajjar and Jared Britcher will also compete forplaying time.

Goalkeepers

Senior starting goalkeeper Sebastian Vecchioreturns after transferring from Mid-Continent Col-lege (Ky.) last year and stepping into the starting roleearly in the season. Vecchio started 13 games for theTigers, capturing 37 saves, a .649 percentage andaveraging 1.42 goals per game. Memphis went 6-6-2 in games he controlled the 18-yard box.

"Sebas (Vecchio) has improved all the timein our program," Grant said. "He was in a diffi-cult situation in transferring in last year and beingexposed immediately to conference competition.He enters the season as our No. 1 goalie."

Freshmen giants Trey Meyer, 6'4", and TylerStrom, 6'5", will also compete for playing time.

"The lads have been brought in to competewith Sebastian and ultimately replace him as he isin his senior year," Grant said.

Schedule

The Tigers will play nine non-conferencegames and two preseason games in 2004. The

schedule includes four games against MissouriValley Conference teams Western Kentucky,Vanderbilt, Eastern Illinois and Evansville.

"We've always used the non-conferencegames as preparation games for our conferencematches," Grant said. "In our last few years, we'vehad very successful results in our non-conferencegames."

In Grant's five years at Memphis, the Tigershave gone 31-13-2 (.696) in non-conference games.Memphis will once again host the Diadora Tourna-ment in September with Centenary, Oral Roberts andWestern Kentucky participating. The Tigers also playin the Vanderbilt Puma Classic in September againstthe host school and Eastern Illinois.

With the realignment of C-USAin 2005, thiswill be the last year Memphis will play the currentgroup of conference teams. Everybody will be fight-ing hard for one of six spots in the conference tour-nament in Louisville on November 11-14.

"I think people will be very eager to do wellthis year," Grant said. "There's some great his-tory between the teams in terms of competition. Ithink that's what makes the conference tourna-ment in Louisville special. It's going to be verycompetitive to make it to that conference tourna-ment."

The season also stands as thesecond-consecutive season, andthe third in four years, Memphis fin-ished with a .500 or better recordunder head coach Richie Grant.

"I think our non-conferencerecord in the last few years hasbeen positive and shows we areplaying a good competitiveschedule," Grant said. "While

Defender

our record is good, our focus ison C-USA results."

The task was not an easy oneas the Tigers struggled to a 1-6-2finish in Conference USA play.Grant's troops dropped six gamesby a single goal, four of whichcame in league action, and sawtheir streak of games without be-ing shutout come to an end at 27in a 1-0 loss at Evansville.

Sophomores Andy Metcalfand Dayton O'Brien led the Ti-gers' offense that dominated theopposition in nearly all offensivecategories. As a team, the Tigersfinished second in the league ingoals scored and outscored andoutshot its opponents, while alsoholding a sizeable advantage incorner kicks. While the offense

pressured opposing defenses,the U of M defense forced

74 offsides penaltiesagainst rival attacks."The brand of soccer wewant to play is attack-ing minded, and ourstatistics show that we

have been able to scoregoals and create

chances," Grant said.With just three seniors on

the squad— defender DustyBrezovsky, senior captainand third team All-C-USAperformer Graham Gibbsand goalkeeper ClarkTalley— the play of under-classmen was vital to theteam's success. Led byMetcalf and O'Brien, theunderclassmen com-bined to score all 87points on the year.

" D a y t o n(O'Brien) and Andy(Metcalf) are both at-tacking minded pay-ers, and we gave

tacking responsibilities in the game,''Grant said. "We relied heavily ontheir ability to create and score dur-ing the season."

Metcalf led the way with ateam-high 24 points on 10 goalsand four assists. The Jackson,Tenn., native was showered withpostseason accolades, beingnamed to the NSCAA/AdidasAll-Midwest Region secondteam, the 2003 CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America third team,the CoSIDA All-District IV teamand all-C-USA second team.

O'Brien also improved onhis freshman campaign scoring23 points on nine goals and ateam-high five assists en routeto earning All-C-USA secondteam honors. The two-time All-Midwest region third team selec-tion led the Tigers with ninepoints and four goals in confer-ence competition, including atwo-goal performance againstMarquette and the game-win-ning goal in Memphis' lone C-USA triumph over UAB.

Heartbreaking losses werethe theme of the 2003 season asMemphis opened the seasonagainst UNC-Wilmington in theMemphis-Diadora Tournament. Alast minute goal by UNCW sentthe Tigers to their first home-opening loss in seven tries dat-ing back to the 1990 season.

"It never really matters what

the score is when you lose," Grantsaid. "We didn't enjoy the feeling,but it will give us good preparationfor next year. It was frustrating, butwe all learned from it."

Memphis would again beheartbroken in a 4-3 double-over-time decision against Louisvillejust two games later. After a pairof wins against Wisconsin-Mil-waukee and lona, the Tigerswould fall victim to the shutout forthe first time since the 2001 sea-son in a 1-0 loss at Evansville.

A 79* minute goal byMarquette would send Memphisto its third one-goal loss of theseason and second in C-USAplay. But the Tigers were able tobounce back to defeat No. 21UAB, 1-0, on Dayton O'Brien'sdirect free kick that found its wayover the UAB defensive wall andinside the right post.

Memphis would suffer itsfifth and sixth one-goal defeatsat the hands of Saint Louis andUSF, respectively. The Tigersdropped a 2-1 overtime contestto the Billikens before falling tothe Bulls by the same score.Grant's crew responded with itshighest scoring output of theseason in a 5-1 route of Belmont.

The U of M secured a .500campaign (8-8-2) with a 1-1 tieagainst eventual C-USA Tour-nament runner-up Charlotte inthe season finale.

Mike Rose Soccer ComplexSl he 2004 season will mark the\ fourth season the Memphis Ti-

_M_ gers will call the Mike Rose Soc-cer Complex home. Having played all oftheir home matches at Mike Rose in 2002and 2003, the Tigers will again entertainall incoming opponents at the facilityduring the season. The complex was thesite of the 2003 Ford Conference USATournament.

After only hosting C-USA teams atthe 3,000 seat Mike Rose Stadium in2003, the Tigers will play all theirhome games at the complex in 2004.Last year non-conference matchupswere played at Echles Field on the cam-pus of the university.

"As far as qualityand atmosphere,Mike Rose is firstclass."

Women's Head CoachBrooks Monaghan

1 The state-of-the-artfacility sits on 136.17acres and houses 16FIFA dimension fieldsequipped with Bermudagrass, state-of-the-artplaying surface com-plete with undergrounddrainage, sprinklerssystems and lightedplaying fields. Accom-panying these fields arefully paved walkways,easily accessible park-ing, restrooms, covered pavilions,picnic and recreation area and athree-acre lake. It is a definite as-set to both the Tiger and Lady Ti-ger soccer programs.

"The facility has helped us in re-cruiting some of the better playersin the region to our program." saidhead men's coach Richie Grant.

Participant facilities within the sta-dium structure include showers andlocker rooms, a food court, corporateskybox, full media services, admin-istrative offices and a conference room.

"Being able to play at Mike Rose en-ables our program to compete with any-one facility wise," said head women'scoach Brooks Monaghan. "There may besome facilities that are similar or closeto Mike Rose, but I honestly don't feelthere are any better. As far as quality andatmosphere, Mike Rose is first class."

Located in southeast Shelby County,just east of the Memphis city limits, the

Mike Rose facility is also home to theMemphis Express of the Premier Devel-opment League, which has established it-self in the Memphis soccer communityand helped bring soccer excitementthroughout the Mid-South.

"We feel like Mike Rose is one of thebest college soccer facilities in thecountry." Grant said. "The quality ofthe surface makes for entertaining soc-cer every night."

Tigers Locker RoomThe University of Memphis men's soccer team received a

boost in 2003 as the program added a new locker room.The updated facilities were made possible through fi-

nancial aid raised by club supporters. The lockers are lo-cated at the Murphy Athletic Complex at the U of M SouthCampus.

Former Tiger soccer player Mike Kauker contributed hisskills to the remodeling project. Kauker played from 1982-86at Memphis as a defender/midfielder. He racked up 82 gameswith the Tigers and scored two goals.

Kauker received additional support from the current Mem-phis players as they helped tear out the old lockers and replacethem with new ones.

Droohs MonaghanHEHD COUCH • nnn SEASON • MEMPHIS. TENN. • MEMPHIS. 1994

Entering his fifth season at the helm of theLady Tigers' soccer program, head coach BrooksMonaghan has his sights set on the program'ssecond Conference USA Tournament appearancein three years.

Monaghan helped start the women's soccerprogram at Memphis from scratch eight yearsago. He spent four seasons as the goalkeepers'coach, before being offered the head coachingposition in 2000.

Monaghan had a vision for a struggling Mem-phis program that had combined to win just 10games the previous two seasons and notchedjust one conference win the year before he tookover as the second head coach in Lady Tigerssoccer history.

It did not take long for the former Tiger standoutto make his mark on the Lady Tiger program. Inhis first season, Monaghan guided a team thathad won just five games the previous season toa nine-win season and within one victory of aberth in the Conference USA Championship Tour-nament. The Lady Tigers' four-game improvementwas the best in the program's brief seven-year

history.As is thecase withany team,

an increase in

victories leads to an increase in expectations.But Monaghan's young Lady Tigers suffered

through some growing pains in 2001 and sawthe promise of an exciting season fall victim tonine one-goal losses and four others by just twogoals as they finished the campaign at 5-13-1.

The improvement continued in the 2002 cam-paign as Monaghan was able to bring in a tal-ented group of newcomers. Monaghan was ableto mix his group of gifted newcomers with seniorleadership and solid defense to lead the LadyTigers to their first appearance in the Confer-ence USA Tournament since the 1997 season.

"That was our primary goal entering the sea-son and we were able to accomplish it by play-ing our best soccer towards the end of the year,"Monaghan said.

The 2002 squad's four-game improvementtied Monghan's 2000 team for the best improve-ment in Lady Tiger history. The 2002 team wasthe first in the program's history to finish with a.500 record in league play, and the Lady Tigersdid so by winning four of their last five C-USAmatches by shutting out their opposition.

The 2003 team again was unable to live up tothe expectations set by the previous year's team.With just two seniors, the young squad sufferedthrough a 5-10-3 season and won just two C-USA contests. Monaghan was able to come outof the season with a moral victory, however, aseight of the 10 losses the Lady Tigers' sufferedwere by a single goal.

Monaghan was able to provide many of hisunderclassmen with invaluable playing experi-ence that should help continue to build the Mem-phis Lady Tiger soccer program into a regionalforce.

Although the season was a tough pill to swal-low for Monaghan, he knew that brighter dayswere ahead as two of his top returners werenamed Conference USA first team performersfollowing the season.

The 2004 season will be Monaghan's fifth asthe head at the University of Memphis, whichequals the longest coaching stint by a Lady Tigercoach. He is just seven wins shy of surpassingformer head coach Les Szabo as the Lady Ti-

gers' all-time winningest coach.Prior to becoming the Lady Tiger head

coach, Monaghan served as the primarygoalkeepers' coach and was a vital part ofthe Memphis coaching staff during theprogram's first four seasons. UnderMonaghan's guidance, the Lady Tigers'goals-against average dropped from 2.74in 1995 to 1.77 in 1999.

Monaghan's coaching career followedan impressive collegiate campaign. Afterspending his freshman year at Evans-ville, Monaghan transferred to the U of Mand helped lead the Tigers to a share of

the conference championship in 1992 and

an outright title in 1993. As the Tiger goalkeeper,Monaghan posted single-season records with a0.80 goals-against average and 11 shutouts enroute to being named First Team All-Great Mid-west Conference as a junior. His 24 shutoutsand 1.40 GAA over his three years are career-bests in Tiger soccer history. He led Memphis toa record 38 wins in his career. He is second inthe Tiger record books with 298 saves.

A prep standout at Christian Brothers HighSchool in Memphis, Monaghan's college careerearned him a spot on the U-20 national squad.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Monaghan gradu-ated from the University of Memphis with a B.S.in Business Management. He is single and re-sides in Memphis.

After the Lady Tigers lost eightmatches last season by one goal, in-cluding all seven losses in ConferenceUSA play, fifth-year head coach BrooksMonaghan is hoping that those toughlosses will turn into wins this year withan experienced and veteran team underhis instruction.

Nine starters and 15 letterwinnersreturn from last year's squad that went5-10-3 overall and 2-7-1 in C-USA. Thisincludes seven seniors and four juniors.

"On paper, last year's team wasprobably the strongest that we've hadas long as this program has beenaround," said Monaghan. "Every one ofthose games we felt we could have won.

The players definitely realize howclose they were last year to being ontop and that will help them put in theextra work they need to reach that level."

Three of the Tigers' top four pointscorers return as do nine of the 10 play-ers that recorded at least one goal lastseason. Memphis also adds a total ofeight newcomers, including seven fresh-man and one transfer to the mix. Tworedshirt freshmen also return to the ac-tive roster after sitting out last season.

"It was unique in that we felt wehad a better spring team than we had afall team last year and that usually doesnot happen," Monaghan com-mented. "We return almost every-one on the team and that is im-portant. There are some talentednewcomers that will push forplaying time but the core ofthe team is already in place."

Forwards

Conference USA's leading goalscorer Yuiko Konno returns for her se-nior season to anchor the Memphis at-tack. Konno scored 12 goals and re-corded 27 points, which was tied forfirst in the conference. For her efforts,she garnered AII-C-USA first teamaccoldes and was also named All-Cen-tral Region third team by both theNSCAA and Soccer Buzz, becoming the

*

first player in the program's history togarner regional recognition. She wasalso a 2004 preseason AII-C-USA pick.

"Every good team has a goalscorer," said Monaghan. "Yuiko hasa knack for scoring goals and is aphenominal technical player.We are expecting big thingsfrom her."

Joining Konno up frontwill be sophomore MadisonCheek. She played in all 18games last year, starting 10 ofthem as a freshman. Cheek co-led the team in assists with fourand also scored one goal for sixpoints.

Another scoring option theTigers should have this year issophomore transfer ShokoMikami, who comes acrosstown from Christian Brothers Univer-sity. Mikami led the nation in scoringin Division II last season, racking up33 goals and also leading the countryin goals per game (1.65) and pointsper game (3.80). She also tallied 10assists for a total of 76 points.

"Shoko also has a knack forscoring and she showed that lastyear," commented Monaghan. "I thinkshe will keep teams honest because

they will be looking for Yuiko. It istough to defend against two goodgoal scorers."

A trio of fresh-men will also battle for play-ing time up front while pro-viding depth at the position.

Candace Halvorson, whoredshirted last season after suf-fering a knee injury, as well as truefreshmen Caroline Barrett andCarla Scaniello will also figureinto the mix. Both Barrett and

Scaniello will also see some time inthe midfield.

"Candace has a strongspring coming off her injury. We

expect big things from her," saidMonaghan. "Caroline and Carla areboth very athletic and have great

speed. We will look to them to con-tribute from that start."

Midfielders

The other AII-C-USA honoree from the Tigerslast season, junior NickyMcLeod, will anchor themidfield. The only Memphisplayer to start all 18 gameslast year, McLeod finished

third on the team in points witheight, scoring two goals, both ofwhich were game-winners, and re-cording four assists, tied for themost on the team. She joinedKonno on the 2004 preseason All-Conference team.

"Everyone knows whoNicky is," said Monaghan. "She has

good speed and is our workhorse."A pair of seniors that saw quite

a bit of action last year will also figureto see quite of bit of action this year.Susannah Dawells, who started eightgames last year, and Annika Moller,who started 1 1 , should provide a largenumber of minutes as well as invalu-able leadership and experience in themiddle of the field. Dawellsrecorded two assistslast year while Mollerhad a goal and three as-sists, with all threehelpers coming in asingle game, whichtied the conferencerecord.

"BothSussanah andAnnika are leaders,Sussanah on thefield, while Annikaleads more by ex-ample," Monaghan re-marked. "Both haveimproved everyyear they havebeen here."

A pair ofsophomores


r an MI nitr limit

that also saw a lot of minutes last yearshould once again see a lot of time onthe field. Melissa Savage playing inall 18 games, starting 16 of them whilerecording two assists. Classmate Brit-tany Strung started two games andplayed in 15, netting a single goalbut she will sit out this year as aredshirt after sustaining a kneeinjury.

Also figuring to seesome playing time this yearare junior walk-on HeatherWilson, who played in fourgames a year ago, as wellas the freshman trio ofVicki Greenwell, KelseyIrish, and Halley Jo Sullivan.

Defenders

Perhaps the strongest partof the team, the Tiger defense re-turns all four starters from last year.Led by seniors Leanne McGee,Mary Shelton, Monica Powelland Jocelyn Raine, the defense alsoboasts the most experience of any po-sition. McGee played in all but onegame last year and started 15 of themwhile Shelton played in all 18 andstarted 17. Both also amassed someoffensive numbers as well as McGeerecorded a single assist and Sheltona single goal. Powell started fivegames, played in 14, and also recordeda single goal. Raine played 14 games,starting six while recording a goal andan assist.

Adding to the experience in thebackfield are junior Courtnee Melton,sophomore Beth Keating, and juniorRobyn Smart, who moves to thebackfield from forward. Melton was anironhorse last year, playing in all 18games while starting 16, while Keatingsaw action in 16 contests, starting 11.Smart played in all 18 games, start-ing 14 and scoring a single goal.

Also figuring into the defensivebackfield and providing some youthfuldepth will be Elaine Sedgewick, who

t h

can also play in the midfield. Sheplayed for the Under-17 National Teamin England.

"Our defenders have played to-gether for a long time and are veryaware of how each other plays,"Monaghan observed. "Our backlineshould be solid and that should helpgive our keepers confidence."

Goalkeepers

ilf the defense

s the most experiencedpart of the team, then thatexperience will be neces-sary in the developmentof the goalkeepers, as

e goalie position is themost inexperienced part of the

team. A pair of freshmen, onetrue and one redshirt, willcompete for the starting goal-

keeper position. Neither onehas seen a single minute of colle-

giate action.Redshirt freshman

So close, yet so far away. That is the best way to describe the 2003 LadyTiger soccer team that played well at times, but could not string togetherenough victories to reach the preseason goals set by the players and headcoach Brooks Monaghan. The Lady Tigers wanted to build on the momen-tum the team established in 2002 when they reached the C-USA Tourna-ment for the first time in four seasons.

However, a 5-10-3 overall record and a 2-7-1 mark in league play preventedthe Lady Tigers from a making a return trip to postseason play. Going byjust the record, it would be easy for outsiders to label last season as aletdown, but for Monaghan that is something hard to do.

"Of course you want to win more games than we did and make it to theleague tournament," Monaghan said. "But, I can't fault my players for theeffort they gave last season. We had two players on the first-team all-con-ference team and that speaks volumes for a team that didn't make thetournament.

"We were never out of a conference match and there are not many teamsin our league that can claim that. Sometimes the breaks go your way andsometimes they don't. Last year for us, they just went to the other team."

To put it in perspective, all seven of the team's league losses were by justone goal and in their two victories they outscored Tulane and Southern

Miss 7-2. Opponents scored the game-tying goal or go-ahead goal withless than three minutes to go in regulation on three different occasionsin C-USA play. Unfortunately, the Lady Tigers were on the losing end of

two of those matches and tied one. The team was never overmatched inany league contest as each of their losses was by one goal. The squadnever trailed by more than a goal in any of its 10 C-USA matches.

After a shaky start against two Southeastern Conference foes, the LadyTigers rebounded to outscore their opponents 26-20 the remainder of theseason. Junior Yuiko Konno, a transfer from Chiba, Japan, tallied the team'sfirst goal of the season in a 3-1 loss to Mississippi State. The tally would bethe first of 12 she netted during the campaign. Her 12 goals were tied forthe Conference USA lead and the most by a Lady Tiger since Shelly Heinzhad 12 during the 1995 season. Konno finished with 27 points which wasthe fourth-highest total in school history.

For her efforts, Konno was one of two Lady Tigers namedto the All-Conference USA first team. She was joined bymidfielder Nicky McLeod, who was third on the team inpoints with eight and tied for first in assists with four.Konno and McLeod were the only pair of first team mem-

bers who did not participate in the postseason tournament.Konno also earned All-Central Region third-team honors.

Winless through their first five matches with a record of 0-3-2, the LadyTigers cracked the win column in Springfield, Mo., where they defeatedDrury 3-0. Memphis jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the half behind goals fromKonno and junior Monica Powell. It was Powell's first goal of her career.


'"*nil SSISM letlai

The team took their momentum from the Drury win toLouisville, where they opened up C-USA play withthe Cardinals. The match went scoreless throughthe first 75 minutes before forward Kirsty Marr broke

the tie with a goal assisted by McLeod. Unfortu-nately, the Lady Tigers relinquished the lead inthe 88th minute and the game ended in a 1 -1tie.

The Lady Tigers managed to sandwichin a pair of non-conference wins be-

tween four tough one-goal lossesin league play. Konno had three

goals and an assist in the two victories as Mem-phis feat UT-Martin 3-1 and Alabama A&M 5-1.Junior Annika Moller was the only C-USA player

to record three assists in a match in the 2003 sea-son, doing so in the Alabama A&M match.

Marr, McLeod and Konno combined to score four goalsas the Lady Tigers blanked Tulane for their first leaguewin of the season. Marr had a pair of goals while McLeodand Konno each added a goal and an assist in thevictory. Senior Kari Rawe recorded the shutout.

The team backed up its first league win of the seasonwith an exciting 3-2 overtime victory over Southern

Miss at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Konno had apair of goals, including the game-winner, to put the Lady Tigers within strik-ing distance of a C-USA Tournament berth.

However, the victory over the Golden Eagles would end up being thelast of the season for the team as the Lady Tigers dropped a 1-0decision to USF and a pair of 2-1 decisions at UAB and TCU, respec-tively to conclude conference play at 2-7-1.

cant milestone for the league, the 10th year finds the conference preparingto embark on a new era in its already remarkable history.

Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP will join East Carolina, Hous-ton, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane and UAB in a 12-team conferencewith competition beginning in 2005-06. Current members Cincinnati, DePaul,Louisville, Marquette and USF will become members of the BIG EAST, whileTCU goes to the Mountain West and Charlotte and Saint Louis will join theAtlantic 10 at the end of this season. The membership changes have givenC-USA the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the changing face of confer-ence affiliations and will reinforce the league's position in collegiate athlet-ics for years to come.

"We are excited about adding new members and making structuralimprovements to Conference USA," Banowsky said. "This is an opportu-nity for us to tighten our geography, group similar institutions together,create a divisional model, and possibly stage a football championship game.It will be very exciting to watch this league grow and develop."

The conference headquarters moves from Chicago to the Las Colinasarea in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in June 2004.

With a promising future ahead, there is plenty for the league to celebratefrom its first nine years. After its formation in 1995, hailed as a bold movein the world on intercollegiate sports, C-USA established a strong founda-tion while quickly earning a reputation of successfully competing at thehighest levels of intercollegiate athletics. Capitalizing on the strengths of its15 distinguished and diverse universities, Conference USA quickly emergedas one of the nation's top conferences.

A PROUD HISTORY: A STRONG IDENTITYThe conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24,

1995, in Chicago. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league'sheadquarters were established in Chicago andafter nine years, relocated to Irving, Texas.Britton Banowsky was named Commis-sioner in October 2002, succeeding MikeSlive, the league's first commissioner.

In May 2000, the league introduced abrand identity program, featuring a familyof new marks that reflect the urban, pro-gressive and bold nature of the C-USAbrand. The new logos are part of a com-prehensive marketing and promotional pro- "•' •':, (gram designed to reinforce the conference'sathletic and national emergence.

For almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis,the state of Tennessee, and the surrounding Mid-South region. Exceptional students from Tennessee,from every other state in the nation, and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attendthe University of Memphis. They come here on the rec-ommendation of their major professors at European uni-versities; they come here to study subjects that are offerednowhere else; they come to study alongside men and womenwho are recognized and respected throughout the academicand scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Everforward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised toenter one of its most historic and productive periods. Fromthe faculty and staff to the alumni and benefactors, the U ofM's "people assets" have never been morewilling, able and generous in their efforts to make a life-long impact on the young minds at the U ofM.

THE UNIVERSITY OF

MEMPHIS

The 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, Scates 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 "Jack" 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.

The 2003 Tiger Football team not only snapped a 32-year-oldbowl appearance drought, but downed North Texas, 27-17, inthe New Orleans Bowl to finish the season at 9-4. A numberof offensive records fell in 2003, including Memphis' all-timepassing numbers, which are now led by rising senior DannyWimprine, and single season rushing records, which were re-written by sophomore DeAngelo Williams en route Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year honors. Nine Tigers were named tothe All-Conference USA Teams, including freshman Blake Butler, who was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Williams andWesley Smith were both All-Conference USA First Team honorees, while Maurice Avery, Coot Terry and Eric Taylor earned secondteam honors. Gene Frederic, Jeremy Rone, Derrick Ballard and Scott Vogel were all third-team honorees for Memphis.

It was a banner year for the Tiger Volleyball Team in 2003. Memphis finished with a 30-6 overall record, the best-ever winning percentage in schoolhistory. Memphis also recorded another school-first by appearing in the Conference USA Championship game before falling to No. 17 Louisville, 3-0. Tiara Gilkey and Heather Watts were each named to die all-tournament team at the league championships, which also marked Memphis' first-everappearance in a televised volleyball match. The season was capped with another Memphis first: three players named to die All-Conference teams.Senior Brittany Bamett earned a second team honor, while Gilkey and Watts were third team honorees. Memphis' 2,204 kills during die year wasa new single season record and Bamett and Gilkey both hit die 1,000 career kill mark, becoming die 15th and 16th players, respectively, to hit thatmark. Headier Watts had a trophy haul in the off-season, earning a second team Academic All-America honor and an AVCA All-Region HonorableMention following a junior season that saw her set a new single season record with 1,792 assists, also a C-USA record for any junior setter. SheilaNeba, the second senior on the 2003 squad, finished her career ranked hi die top 10 hi block solos and assists and total blocks and .260 careerattack percentage ranks third in school history.

The 2003 Lady Tiger soccer team would much rather have advanced to postseason play, but the squad can take solace in placing a pairof players on the All Conference-USA first team. Forward Yuiko Konnp and midfielder Nicky McLeod both made the squad marking thefirst time in school history that a pair of Lady Tigers earned such a distinction in the same season. The team finished with a 5-10-3 recordoverall and a 2-7-1 league mark. The team was never overmatched in any league contest as each of their losses was by one goal. Thesquad never trailed by more than a goal in any of its 10 C-USA matches. In their two league victories, the Lady Tigers outscored Tulaneand Southern Miss by a combined score of 7-2. .L

Under the guidance of head coach Richie Grant, the 2003 edition of Memphis soccer finished the year with an 8-8-2 record, marking the17th season in which the Tigers have finished with the a record of .500 or better. It also marks as the second consecutive season and thethird in four years that Memphis has finished with a winning record under Grant. Sophomores Andy Metcalf and Dayton O'Brien led theTigers offense that dominated the opposition in nearly all offensive categories. As a team, the Tigers finished second in the league in goalsscored. Metcalf led way with a team-high 24 points on 10 goals and four assists en route to earning NSCAA/adidas All-Midwest Regionsecond team, the 2003 CoSIDA Academic All-America third team, the CoSIDA All-District IV team and All C-USA second team honors.O'Brien was selected to the All-Midwest Region third team for the second straight year, while also being tabbed an AII-C-USA secondteam performer. Senior captain Graham Gibbs was also named to the AII-C-USA third team. i

The Tigers entered the 2003 cross country season with a lot of promise, but injuries prevented the Tigers from reaching their fullpotential. Senior All C-USA runner Mate Nemeth was forced to have surgery on his sinuses, limiting his ability and freshman SzabolesKaradi (back) and sophomore Rehan Mohmood (ankle) both suffered injuries. Mahmood would miss the entire season while Karadiwas never 100 percent. The Tigers were led by Senior Adam Didyk and Senior Kym Morgan as Memphis placed seventh at the C-USAChampionships. Didyk finished in llth place with an 8K time of 25:28.70, while Morgan placed 27th (26:12.80). Didyk was namedThird Team All C-USA in 2003. The Lady Tigers entered the 2003 season with a brand new look. Coach Jonas Holdeman added seventrue freshmen and former Lady Tiger soccer standout Ali Baker to the squad in hopes of bolstering the team's success. In the end, theteam's youth was too much to overcome as the Lady Tigers placed 14th in C-USA. The Lady Tigers top runner at the C-USA Champion-ships was true freshman Mary Claire Dake who ran a 23:30.00 in the 6K race.

With just one senior on the roster and with six newcomers, no one could have predicted the success the men's tennis team had in 2004. -Senior Lee Taylor Walker knocked out an outstanding senior season, finishing the year ranked No. 95 in the country in singles afterguiding a young Tiger squad to their first-ever Conference USA Semifinals appearance in a tournament which the Tigers hosted on the Uof M courts. Walker started the fall by becoming the first Tiger to ever advance to the ITA Southeast Regional Singles Semifinals, anothertournament Memphis would host, before falling to Dmitriy Koch of Tulane. First-year player James Spence had a solid season, playing No.2 singles and No. 1 doubles, and finishing with a 12-9 record in singles. The Tigers also helped Head Coach Phil Chamberlain pick up his100th career victory with a second-round, 4-3 victory over USF in the Conference USA Tournament. Walker capped the year with an ITA ,Southeast Region Sportsmanship Award and then made Memphis history by becoming the first Tiger to ever receive a national award with ithe ITA/Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership Award. Walker also became the first Tiger to ever earn a Conference USA First Team *All-Conference Award. The Tigers finished with a 15-11 record. i

Another young team on campus included the University of Memphis women's tennis team. Guided by two seniors who were each just intheir second seasons of college tennis in the U.S., the team also included three freshmen, meaning Head Coach Charlotte Peterson wouldspend a majority of the early spring season trying to figure out her line-up. Senior Marlene Dirnstorfer moved from No. 5 singles up toNo. 1 singles, with somewhat surprising results. Managing to stay healthy the entire spring season, Dirnstorfer earned a Third Team All-Conference USA Honor after going 17-6 at No. 1 singles. Dirnstorfer would cap an outstanding season with a Academic All-DistrictSecond Team honor, the highest Academic Honor Awarded to a Memphis women's tennis player. The senior's All-Conference USAhonor marked the sixth consecutive season that a Lady Tiger has earned an all-conference award, and Dirnstorfer will be back for 2004,opting to enter graduate school while completing her senior season. Also earning academic honors were freshman Christina Wieser andsophomore Andrea Feichtinger. Both were named ITA Scholar-Athletes with Dirnstorfer, and were also members of the Conference USAHonor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, while Dirnstorfer was named a C-USA Commissioner's Academic Medalist after posting a 4.0 GPAduring the spring of 2004.

It took first-year Head Coach Grant Robbins just a few short monthsto guide his team to its first tournament victory, as the Tigers firedan 846 to win the Matlock Collegiate Classic in February of 2004. The Tigers struggled at the Conference USA tournament, finishing tiedfor eighth, while senior Alan Weant finished tied for seventh after a two-over par 74 on the final day of the conference championship.Both Weant and fellow senior David Jeans were named all-conference student-athletes. Jeans was a second-team honoree, while Weantcapped his career with a third team honor. Junior Allan Thomas capped the year as aCleveland Golf All-America Scholar Recipient fromthe Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). As a team, the 2004 men's golfers posted their highest-ever GPA for the year,finishing with a 3.198 GPA.

The University of Memphis had a tremendous 2003-04 campaign that was capped off by winning a share of the Conference USA regular-season title and earning a second-straight NCAA Tournament berth. The Tigers, ranked No. 24 in the final Associated Press poll, posteda 22-8 overall record and claimed a part of the C-USA regular-season crown with a 12-4 league mark. The conference regular-season titlewas the program's first since 1995-96, and the consecutive NCAA appearances were the program's first since 1995 and 1996. Memphiswon its first NCAA Tournament contest since 1995 with a first-round victory over South Carolina. As has been in the case in head coachJohn Calipari's tenure, the Tigers put together another lengthy winning streak, recording 11 -straight victories during the C-USA schedule.The win streak - tied for the sixth-longest in Memphis history — included victories over NCAA Tournament teams Louisville, Charlotteand UAB and NjT participants Marquette and Saint Louis. Other prominent regular-season victories came over nationally-ranked Mis-souri and Ole Miss and Villanova on the road. In addition to the team's success, individual honors were received. Senior Antonio Burkswas named C-USA Player of the Year, and Sean Banks was honored as the league's Freshman of the Year. Both players were also namedto the AII-C-USA first team. Banks was named ESPN.coin's National Freshman of the Year, while Burks - who became the Tigers' 38thlopo-pohu scorer in history - was a finalist for the inaugural Bob Cousy Award, recognizing the nation's top point guard. The Tigers alsofinished 10th in the nation in home attendance, marking the fourth-straight year they have been ranked in the top 10.

The Lady Tiger basketball team had struggled the previous two years, and lost their biggest scoring and rebounding threat in seniorShannon Hamp. Early practices left former Coach Joye Lee-McNelis predicting another dismal season. But, the wave of excitement musthave turned the tides because the Lady Tigers opened the season with six straight wins, including their first-ever win over Tennessee Techin Cookeville, and an upset over SEC foe Ole Miss. In that span, Memphis also won its 12th straight Lady Tiger Classic title, and the six-game winning streak was the best start for a Lady Tiger squad since 1978-79. Vanderbilt snapped the winning streak, but not the prideof the team. The Lady Tigers later picked up hard-fought victories over Idaho, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Southern Miss and Tulane, and tooka No. 6 seeding into the C-USA Tournament. Memphis defeated UAB in the first round, but lost to Louisville to sit on Selection Sundaywith a 20-9 record. Though they were shunned for the Big Dance, the Lady Tigers did receive a post-season bid to the WNIT; thussnapping a two-year drought of post-season action. Memphis hosted Tulsa, a future C-USA foe, in the first round and defeated them,66-64, to advance to round two. The Lady Tigers took to the road and ended their post-season run with a disheartening loss to WesternKentucky. Memphis ended the year with a 21-10 record, marking their best record since 1998-99.

The University of Memphis athletic training staff is second-to-nonewhen it comes to ensuring that U of M student-athletes receive qualitycare in the areas of athletic injury rehabilitation and preventative care.

And now with the new renovation of Murphy Athletic Complextraining facility, the Memphis student-athlete can be assured of receivingthe best medical attention and rehabilitation available.

The Murphy Athletic Complex training room was redesigned andreconstructed as part of the $6 million renovation of south campus.

The new training facility, which more than doubles the size of theold training room, contains an in-ground aquatic rehabilitation pool whichallows trainers to work on rehabilitating injuries without having the stu-dent-athlete to support his/or her own body weight.

The new training room also contains new doctor examination rooms,storage areas, and the latest in rehabilitation equipment.

The athletic training staff uses a comprehensive approach to theinjury care and the wellness of student-athletes by utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment with the latest methods in thecare and prevention of injuries.

Head athletic trainer Eddie Cantler, who is in his 35th year at theUniversity of Memphis, supervises the Tigers' sports medicine program.Cantler, who has served as the head trainer since 1980, is assisted bytwo full-time certified athletic trainers, two graduate assistants and 18students trainers.

The athletic training staff is surrounded by many qualified and gen-erous team doctors who are available to the many student-athletes at theUniversity of Memphis.

Dr. Barney Freeman, Dr. Fred Azar, Dr. Jeffrey Dlabach and Dr.Barry Phillips of The Campbell Clinic are directly responsible for the ortho-pedic needs of the Tiger football team, while Dr. Thomas MeriwetherandDr. Arthur Franklin serve as the team physicians. Dr. Allen Sills serves asthe team's neurosurgeon.

The goal of the sports medicine department is not only to care forinjuries, but to assist the athletes in preventing the injuries from occur-ring.

Strt<H<)tti & ConditioningThe Tiger Strength and Conditioning fa-

cility located next to the newly remodeled in-door turf room in the south campus' Billy J.Murphy Athletic Complex, opened in January1993 and serves each of the University's in-tercollegiate sports programs.

The 7,000-square foot varsity weight-room is equipped with rugged, versatile hard-ware such that groups of up to 70 student-athletes can train concurrently with optimaleffectiveness and efficiency.

Workouts are designed and supervisedby one of the Strength and Conditioning staff'scertified specialists, and each student-athlete's individual progress is projected viacomputerized database. The Tiger Power phi-losophy couples functional, multi-joint move-ments with fundamental principles: exercisetechniques are simplified and performed onan alternating heavy/explosive basis in orderto maximize training effects while minimizingteaching and training time (as well as fatique).Performance based fitness and work qualityare the bottom line objectives.

The weightroom's equipment upgradeplan reflects this philosophy and includes: 10self-contained Olympic platforms and powerracks; a plyometric/medicine ball area; a com-plete dumbbell line; and a variety of hip sleds,gluteham stations, cable stations and othersupplemental pieces allowing student-athletesto perform an unlimited variety of exercisesand movements. The modern and spaciousfacility is also equipped with dressing/restrooms; is naturally illuminated; and is main-tained at a constant 70-74 degrees.

In planning the long range Tiger Powerprograms, student-athletes are assigned torespective developmental levels based on in-dividual ability and training history. For ex-ample, newcomers begin with an extensivevolume of "foundational" or generalized move-ments; and progress toward more intensiveand specialized exercises with each succes-sive phase.

The actual workout menu may remainfairly constant over a student-athlete's fouror five year sport career, however broadvariations in workload combine the program'ssimplicity with a measure of sophistication.

Mike Stark, who lettered for the Tigers for three years under formerhead coach Billy J. Murphy during the late 1960s and early 1970s, hasreturned to the University has the head strength and conditioning coach.Stark is entering his fifth year with the Tiger athletic department.

TraditionsWHY TIGERS?

When the University of Memphis firstfielded a football team in the fall of 1912, noone had selected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team,tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray War-riors of West Tennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season,there was a student parade. During thisevent, several Normal students shouted, "Wefight like Tigers". The nickname was born.

More and more the nickname "Tigers"was used, particularly in campus publica-tions. But it did not catch on with the newspa-pers downtown. They continued to use"Normals" or the "Blue and Gray" when refer-ring to the University.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922,Normal's football team gave a ring of truth tothat old student yell about Tigers. The teamadopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" andwent on to score 174 points while allowingtheir opponents just 29 points.

In the late 1920s, student publicationsand downtown newspapers began referringto the football team as the "Teachers" or "Tu-tors". The Tiger nickname would return. Butnot until 1939 was it finally adopted as theofficial nickname for the University of Mem-phis.

A BENGAL FOR A

MASCOTFor over 30 years, the sideline mascot

for the University of Memphis athletics hasbeen the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of thecurrent mascot, puts in personal appearancesat all Tiger football games, as well as numer-ous basketball games. TOM II has also beenseen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women'sbasketball games.

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

The story of how the first Tiger cub ar-rived in Memphis is quite interesting. On No-vember 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed ina dog kennel in Michigan City, IN, and flownto Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.There it was placed aboard a Delta flight andarrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. ClevelandDrennon, an attorney and president of theHighland Hundred, approved a check for$1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was takento athletic director Billy Murphy's office for apress conference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl MemorialStadium, the Highland Hundred officially pre-sented TOM to the University on November11, 1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of hisdaughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Oncein Memphis, however, a contest was held toname the mascot. More than 2,500 entriescame in to a committee chaired by JudgeHarry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook,Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, BigCat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to

Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennes-see.

Finally, the judges reduced the list totwo: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Mem-phis. TOM won.

During his first few months in Mem-phis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his ga-rage, which was redecorated by the High-land Hundred. TOM was guarded byProctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Mem-phis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at hisnew home at Nixon Farms in Collierville,Tenn. His new home is 3500 square feetand includes two pools, a waterfall, heatedand air conditioned den box and has sepa-rately, a complete medical facility for hiscare and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly500 pounds and is expected to be as largeor larger than his predecessor, TOM, whowas once the largest Bengal Tiger in cap-tivity at 550 pounds. There is even a birth-day party for TOM II prior to each footballseason.
