Washington, D.C.The National Mall is usually the center of every visitor’s trip to Washington DC. This tree-lined area of parkland stretches two and a half miles from the Potomac River to the United States Capitol on Capitol Hill and is adjoined by the White House. At one end of the National Mall, known as West Potomac Park, the Lincoln Memorial faces the Refl ecting Pool with a good view of Arlington Memorial Bridge, Constitution Gardens, the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Further towards Capitol Hill are a number of museums and galleries, among which are many of the Smithsonian Institution’s museums, including the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, and the Smithsonian Institution building.

American University

Situated within the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., American University’s traditional-style campus has much to offer students in the way of comfort, modern conveniences, and quick, easy access to city life.

Our 84-acre, tree-lined campus, which was designated as a National Arboretum, is located at the top of Embassy Row in one of the most attractive, safe, and residential areas of our nation’s capital.

The center of campus, also referred to as “the quad,” is a focal point of student life not only because our academic buildings line its grassy borders, but also because it’s a place to meet-and-greet with friends and student groups, catch an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee or take part in an after-class debrief with professors.

Another favorite spot on campus is the beach volleyball pit located between the athletics fi elds. The adjacent grassy hillside is also a well known hangout for students on game days.

Matt Corkery begins his second season as the head women’s basketball coach at American University.

In 2008-09, Corkery led American to a 19-12 record, which included

the program’s second consecutive postseason appearance. The Eagles’ 10-5 non-conference record was the best in school history, and their 19 total victories were the most since the 1997-98 campaign. The Eagles defeated two NCAA Tournament teams, Drexel and Lehigh, during the season.

Additionally, Corkery coached three All-Patriot League selections in 2008-09, including First Team performer Michelle Kirk and All-Rookie Team honorees Ebony Edwards and

Lisa Strack. Corkery oversaw the largest women’s

basketball crowd in school history when 1,177

fans attended the home game

against Lehigh on February 7,

2009.

“We are pleased with the progress that Matt and

his staff have made with our women’s basketball program

over the last year both on and off the court,” commented Director

of Athletics and Recreation Keith Gill. “He is a great teacher of the game and his passion for this team will translate into continued success for this program. We’re excited for what this season and the future will bring.” Corkery was named to his current position on May 19, 2008 after

serving as AU’s associate head coach during the 2007-08 campaign. In total, Corkery has been on the AU staff for fi ve seasons. In 2007, he was elevated from assistant coach and recruiting coordinator to associate head coach. With the promotion, Corkery assumed additional responsibilities both on and off the court.

Corkery joined the Eagles in 2004 after spending three seasons as the associate head coach at Division II Emporia State (Kan.). During his tenure with the Hornets, Corkery helped guide the squad to a 63-25 record and No. 2 rankings nationally in both the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons.

Corkery served as an assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin University from 1999-2001. During his tenure, the Ladyjacks won consecutive Southland Conference titles and made successive appearances in the NCAA Tournament. In 2000, the Ladyjacks advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division I Tournament as a 12-seed. Corkery’s squad recorded a 54-11 record

2009-10 Season OutlookThe American University women’s basketball program enters the 2009-10 campaign with high expectations coming off of the most successful back-to-back seasons in program history. For the fi rst time in school history, the Eagles earned trips to the postseason in each of the last two campaigns with appearances in the WNIT. With a solid nucleus returning over the 2009-10 season, the Eagles have the pieces in place to make a deep run in March.

Head Coach Matt Corkery and his staff begin their second year in Washington, D.C. Last season, Corkery led the Eagles to a 19-12 record, although this isn’t his fi rst experience with success at American. In 2007-08, Corkery was on the bench as the top assistant as the Eagles clinched the Patriot League regular season crown and a WNIT berth.

The Eagles return three of their fi ve starters from a season ago, including senior Nicole Ryan, who was named the team’s most valuable player in her record-setting 2008-09 campaign. Ryan, who averaged 11.3 points per game, shot a program-record 87.8 percent from the free throw line (65-74) last season, and currently holds the AU career-record from the charity stripe (82.1 percent).

Also returning from last year’s starting lineup is junior forward Michelle Kirk, an All-Patriot League First Team selection in

2008-09 and preseason All-Patriot League pick in 2009-10. She led the team in scoring and rebounding with 14.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last campaign.

Junior forward Liz Leer is a presence in the paint, as she set a school-record with 62 block shots a year ago. She averaged 11.1 points and 5.5 rebounds in 2008-09, and looks to have a big season.

The Eagles will look to sophomores Ebony Edwards and Lisa Strack, both of whom were named to the All-Patriot League Rookie Team in 2008-09, to continue to develop. Edwards set a single-season school record last season in three-point percentage in her freshman campaign (44.2 percent).

Senior Ohemaa Nyanin, junior Ashley Yencho and sophomores Raven Harris and Janelle McDonald will look to play key roles for the Eagles in the 2009-10 season. American welcomes two freshmen to the squad – Stephanie Anya and Geleisa George.

The Eagles have been selected to fi nish second in the Patriot League in the preseason poll, which was voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information directors. The expectations are high for American in 2009-10, and it should be an exciting season in Washington, D.C.

Beth Shearer Clark played four exceptional years for American University, leaving her mark on each season, where her last happened to be the fi rst in Bender Arena. Upon graduation, Shearer Clark was fi rst in AU’s career scorers’ history, accumulating 1,611 points, a feat that now ranks her second amongst

all-time leading scorers. She is currently fi rst in points and scoring average in a season, recording 534 points in her last season as at AU, tallying a 19.1 scoring average. One of the greatest scorers in American’s history, Shearer Clark also was a dominant force on the glass. She pulled down 686 career rebounds in her four years at AU. On the other end of the court, Shearer recorded 218 steals and 63 blocks, placing her sixth in American University history for both categories. Shearer also had a .821 free throw percentage in the 1987-88 season, ranking third in school history. She ended her four years with a .797 average, an accomplishment that puts her in second all-time. To round out her record, she is fourth in career starts with 100. Beth Shearer Clark was inducted in 1999, alongside former teammate Jody Thorton Powell.

One of AU’s top all-time scorers as she was the fi rst female basketball player to reach the 1,000 point milestone at American University and currently stands eighth on AU’s all-time scoring list with 1,107 points. She averaged 12.7 points per game in her career and registered 72 steals during the 1981-82 season, which was

second-best ever at AU at the time. A graduate of American’s College of Public Affairs with a degree in Criminal Justice, she traded in her basketball sneakers for law books at Villanova University School of Law, where she received her Juris Doctorate in 1989. “Sister Smoke,” a nickname given to her by her father’s arch rival, Muhammed Ali, Frazier-Lyde continues to prove the critics that she’s not too old to beat the toughest competitors. She has a career record of 11-1-0 with nine knockouts, but Frazier-Lyde describes boxing as not about who is better, but more about the performance. In the modern-day rivalry, Laila Ali beat Frazier-Lyde by a majority decision. Ali, however, has since refused to agree to a rematch.

One of the great passers in AU women’s basketball history was Jody Thornton Powell. In her career from 1983-87, she ranks at the top of the school charts with 693 assists. Instead of being a scorer, she made everyone around her better with her command at the guard position. Her assist numbers each year; she began

with 143 her rookie season, 163 in 1984-85, jumped to 193 in her junior year, and had 194 in her senior campaign. In addition to creating scoring opportunities for her teammates, she played a key role on the defensive side of the ball with 244 steals in her career. Thornton Powell started 102 games for her career.

Darsi Smith Wilson played four outstanding years for AU from 1980-84. As a student-athlete, she had success, scoring 1,164 career points to go along with a 14.4 scoring average. Smith Wilson was also a powerhouse on the glass with 569 career rebounds, which ranks tenth all-time. A versatile player, Smith Wilson was an excellent

passer, dishing out 215 assists and, on the defensive end, rejecting 63 shots in her career. A great defender, she also ranks eighth all-time in steals with 198.
