Ten Questions With Carrie Yerty1. Last season was a banner year forthe Tiger volleyball program, with fourkey seniors in the line-up who did agreat job of helping you get off to asolid start in 2001, starting the seasonwith a school-best 10-0 record. Withthose four student-athletes now gone,what is the key to again getting off to agood start in 2002?

Our physical conditioning and teamchemistry will definitely be significant fac-tors for us in getting off to a good start againthis season. We had a great spring. Brit-tany Barnett stepped up as one of our keyall-around players and Tiara Gilkey movedfrom the middle to the outside and wasanother strong attacking player for us. Ti-ara really developed into one of our go-toplayers. I think that once we develop someconsistency, our strength and condition-ing and our development from the springwill help us get off to a solid start again:his season.

2. Talk a little bit about the returning)layers, particularly your only senior,3rooke Chrisman, and your junior classBrittany Barnett and Sheila Neba).

How did the spring season go for thecore of this year's team?Brooke has really made a complete turn-

around in the past year. She was a trans-er here and with a year's experience un-der her belt, she has made the transitiono the environment, the training and our sys-m here. She also had a great spring and

added 10 pounds of muscle. She is sotrong now and her overall play has alsomproved, so I think she is ready for a great•enioryear.Brittany took another big step for us this

•ear. She moved from middle back to out-•ide last year and then she tore an ab

muscle early last season. That injury prob-bly kept her from being one of our start-

ngoutsidesand restricted herjusttoback-ow play. But she is healthy now and is a

great physical force at the net. She has

several shots now at the net and has ma-tured nicely into an upperclassman. Wewill look for her to be a leader both on andoff the court.

Sheila continues to get better and bet-ter. After hitting .300 in conference play lastseason, she has worked hard on her block-ing and will continue to get better in thatarea of her game. She is also such a greatrole model for our team. She's a great stu-dent and has developed into a great leaderas well.

3. How did the spring go for the Tigersthis year?

We had a great spring. We went 12-3and beat some good teams. We had an-other busy spring because none of our play-ers, except Sheila, played the same posi-tion in the spring as they did in the fall.Tiara moved from middle to an outside andHeather Watts moved from a defensive spe-cialist to our setter. The team did a greatjob of making those adjustments, it is notsomething that is easy to do, but we areconfident that everyone fits well in their newroles heading into the fall.

4. How important is it that when youwere hiring an assistant coach, youfound one with previous head coach-ing experience. Is Coach Sykes expe-rience needed more this season withso many newcomers?

Steve is such an important addition toour staff. He not only has head coachingexperience, but he has been a head coachin this conference. He is going to help ouroffense, especially. I really am looking for-ward to the experience he brings to the gymduring practice and to his helping us incor-porate a faster offense as soon as our teamcan implement it. With a bunch of very ath-letic newcomers and a solid core of return-ing players, I'm really excited about whatthis season will bring for our program thanksto the new players and to Steve joining our

team.I am also excited to have Jenni Rosselli

back for another year. She is a great re-cruiting coordinator and will be workingdirectly with the middles this fall. She is agreat role model for the student-athletes,especially since she was a Tiger.

We did lose Coach Hale this year aftershe moved to Georgia, but AngelaGraziani, another former Tiger, will step inas a volunteer assistant coach for us. Wewill really utilize her area of specialty, rightside, with our young team. She will workand train with the right sides in practiceand will do some traveling with the teamthis year as well.

5. With just one setter on the roster,are there any concerns about the of-fense and talk a bit about the chal-lenge facing sophomore HeatherWatts as she switches from back rowto setter.

Heather played setter in high school andreally has the ability to run the offense.She's quick and has great court aware-ness. She really had a great spring run-ning the offense and I really think she willbecome one of the top leaders in the con:

ference in her Tiger career. Herteammatesrespond well to her and in addition to herbeing very athletic, she is very calm onthe court, which helps soothe the rest ofthe team. She is a great leader by ex-ample and was one of our top defensiveplayers and servers last season. Being asetter this year, we will need her to helpblock. But she already possesses a niceblock on the right side. She will also addan extra wrinkle to our offense in that sheis ambidextrous. Having her able to hitfrom either hand is a weapon we have notpossessed before. Heather is definitelydeveloping into one of our team's stron-gest assets.

Page 5

6. Your offense loses four of the topfive offensive threats from last season,obviously Brittany will be looked to forpower from the outside and Sheilafrom the middle, but who else couldfigure into the lineup early?

Brittany will be one of our go-tos, aswill Sheila. I think a year in the systemwill help Brooke really emerge this sea-son as well. She has a great slide, whichwill make her another talented hitter up atthe net. The move we made in moving Ti-ara Gilkey from the middle to the outsidegives us another multi-faceted weapon inthat she can hit from the right, middle orleft sides of the court and that will makeher tougher to defend.

The addition of the newcomers shouldsee some freshmen push for significantplaying time right away. Kristen Hardee,Nan Kimbrell and Nancy Nellans all havethe ability to break in right away for us.Kristen and Nancy will be big bangersright away and Ashley could be too if sheimproves her overall strength. Kristen willalso get some back-row time because shehas great passing ability.

And we also have Rachael Aldous backthis year. She was sidelined with stressfractures most of the year last year, butonce she is healthy, we'll have a muchdeeper lineup than we have ever had inthe past.

7. Out of the 10 players on the rosterlast season, seven of them werenamed to the Conference USA Aca-demic Honor Roll; you had an aca-demic ail-American in 2000 and theTigers were recognized by the AVCAin consecutive years for your teamGPA. How important is academics toyou?

Academics has always been a priorityfor our program. We believe that balanc-ing academics and athletics makes for awell-rounded graduate from our programwho will represent both our team and ouruniversity well when they leave Memphis.

Page 6

We prioritize academics and our goal is toalways be in the top two or three in the con-ference in team GPA and to strive for Aca-demic all-America status.

8. Talk a bit about the six new fresh-men on this year's squad.

Lauren Berg is probably one of the bestliberos that I have ever seen play. She is aconsistent passer, a great defender and willprobably have a full-time position on thecourt if she continues to work hard and im-prove this summer.

Kristin Hardee gives us depth in themiddle. She is a fiery, competitive workerwho will challenge both Brooke and Sheilafor their starting spots and she also bringsgreat back-court ability, something thatBrooke and Sheila are not as comfortablewith. Kristin is a solid passer and will playsome defense for us this season.

Nancy Nellans played on one of the bestclub teams in the country and is a fieryoutside hitter who is determined to win. Shecan pass and play defense and should fig-ure into things on the outside this year aswell.

Nan Kimbrell from Lafayette will challengefor either a left or right-side position. Shehas been working hard this summer to getinto good shape and to train to get readyfor this fall. She is dedicated. She paid herown way to summer school to get a jumpon things academically and training-wiseand we are really looking forward to havingher on the team and having her push therest of the team by competing for a spotright away when we open practice.

Ashley Green is a highly-talented rightside who has been sidelined this spring dueto a shoulder injury, but she will be back inaction this fall. She should bring depth tothe right side and will hopefully be able tocontribute right away.Jaci Johnson is a Memphian who is add-

ing some assistance to our back-row play.She has been a Tiger fan since about age12 and has wanted to play volleyball for theTigers as long as I've known her. She is

another player who trained with the tearat her own expense this summer, takinclasses and getting ready for camp topen in the fall. She has a great personaity and will add a lot of spirit and humortour team.

9. Okay, make a prediction abouwhere the Tigers will finish in Confeience USA this season?

I would expect us to be in the middle cthe pack somewhere, always working tget to the top in terms of win-loss. I thinour depth, chemistry and conditioning wibe an advantage for us this year. We hava solid core returning and have very attletic younger players that will be compeltive right away. Our environment in practice is going to be fun and competitive because of the level of talent we are bringin:in. I expect an exciting year with this nevgroup. The easiest answer to the question about how we will do this season depends on how long it takes for our team ttmesh together. If that happens quickly, wfwill have another good season. Thes<players all have great commitment amdedication and want to excel both on antoff the court, so if we work hard, we shoultalways be in a position to win matches. Iwill definitely be exciting to watch thisteam this year.

10. Any other general thoughts youwant to share?

Again, I keep saying it, but I am reall)excited about what we have in store thisseason. I have a lot of confidence in outreturning players and think we have verjtalented newcomers that will help us be-come one of the top teams in the leagueI have a great coaching staff to help meand Lee has done a tremendous job o;getting the team physically conditioned foithe upcoming season. I can't wait, it'll be,a great year.

Coming offher first 20-win seasonsince 1994,MemphisHead Coach

Carrie Yerty starts her seventh season atthe helm of the Tiger volleyball team witha roster featuring a returning crop of un-derclassmen who garnered some signifi-cant playing time in 2001 who will be ex-pected to replace one of the most sto-ried senior classes in Memphis history.

Yerty began her Tiger career on July15, 1996, when she was hired to replaceformer head coach Penny Lucas-Whiteless than two months from the start ofthe season. She inherited a squad thatfinished 13-20 the previous year. Thatsquad featured just five returning play-ers and finished 8-27 overall and 1-13 inConference USA. Yerty did not let thatone season spoil her dreams of devel-oping and guiding a Division I programinto a national powerhouse. She hit therecruiting trails and her hard work andtireless efforts are beginning to come tolight.

In her second season at the helm ofa young Tiger Volleyball program, Yertymade one of the biggest turnarounds inthe program's history. Never had a Tigersquad won less than 10 matches oneyear and finished well above .500 thenext. Yerty did it. She guided the 1997Tigers to a 19-14 overall record, includ-ing a school-best 7-0 start. Not includedin the overall record that season was avictory over the Australian National Teamat the Montana State tournament. Shealso made a huge jump in the conferencerankings with a 6-10 record that year. TheTigers were now gaining respect fromtheir C-USA foes. After finishing dead lastin the league in 1996, the Tigers improvedto a fourth-place showing in the NationalDivision the following season. Yerty's Ti-

gers also made strides in the C-USA post-season tournament, winning their first-roundmeeting with UAB and advancing to the sec-ond round where they dropped a 3-1 deci-sion to top-seeded and eventual NCAA par-ticipant Houston.

That would not be the last time thatMemphis put up a fight with the Cougars. In1998, Yerty led her troops to their first win inschool history over the University of Hous-ton and for the second straight season, Mem-phis advanced to the second round of theC-USA Tournament. Yerty's Tigers finishedthe season with an 18-14 overall record anda 6-10 record in conference. It was the firsttime since 1994 that a Tiger Volleyball teamhad recorded back-to-back winning records.

The 2001 Tiger line-up featured a se-nior class that was Yerty's second-ever re-cruiting class at Memphis.

Setter Amie Hamilton wrapped up herTiger career as the school's ca-reer leader in digs (1,491) and wasamong the top five in service aces(234) and career assists (2,628)after just two years as the Tigers'primary setter.

Fellow senior Ginger Garrettwrapped up her Tiger career asthe school's all-time leader inatttacks (3.954) and her .251 ca-reer hitting percentage ranksfourth in all-time history. On theother side of the starting front line,Emily Eichmann also marchedinto the Memphis record bookwith her .240 career hitting per-centage, ranking her fifth in all-time history just behind Garrett.

-- A Twenty-Win SeasonThe 2001 University of Memphis volleyball

season started with a veteran team running outto a quick 10-0 start, the best start in school his-tory,

Along the way, the Tigers captured tourna-ment titles at UNO Asheville and Kent State. Seniorsetter Amie Hamilton was named tournament MVPin both tournaments, and earned Conference USAPlayer of the Week honors following the Kent Statetournament (Sept. 10th).

The nationwide events on September 11th

forced the Tigers, and many collegiate teamsaround the country, to postpone travel plans thatwould have included a third pre-season tourna-ment at Florida Atlantic University, but Memphisinstead stayed at home and later that week addedOle Miss to the schedule to make up one of thethree matches they lost. An impressive 3-2 winover the SEC foe pushed Memphis out to 9-0.

The win streak was snapped when the Ti-gers split their first conference series, winning atUAB to improve to 10-0, but falling to Houston in aheartbreaker in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, 3-2.The fifth and deciding game in that series waswon by Houston, 15-13.

The Tigers recovered with a 3-1 C-USA winover Saint Louis at home, but dropped the backside of the home-and-home weekend series, los-ing at SLU, 3-2, with another game five falling tothe Tiger opponent 15-13. The loss was the fourthfive-set game the Tigers had played to date, head-ing on the road to TCU and Houston with a 2-2record in five-game matches and in the confer-ence.

Facing TCU for the first time in school his-tory, the Tigers dropped the first two games, 30-26 and 30-20, before avoiding a three-gamesweep by winning the third game 30-25. But TCUgrabbed the first Conference USA win betweenthe two schools, winning the fourth game 30-28.Still smarting from the TCU loss, the Tigers trav-eled to Houston to face the Cougars the next day,having faced them in Memphis two weeks earlier.The result was a 3-0 Houston win, dropping Mem-phis to 2-4 in the league and 12-3 overall.

Memphis gladly returned to the friendly con-fines of the Fieldhouse to host a pair of confer-ence foes to try to even their league record. A 3-0 win over Southern Miss and a 3-1 win overTulane evened the Tigers' record, and a non-con-ference win over Samford three days later im-proved the Tigers' overall record to 15-3, just fivewins shy of a 20-win season with 13 regularseason matches remaining.

The Tigers had the luxury of five straighthome matches, but could not get around Ameri-can Division powerhouses Cincinnati and Louis-ville, falling back under .500 in the league with a3-1 loss to Louisville and a 3-0 loss to Cincinnati.

A new feature of the Tiger schedule unveiledduring 2001 was the triangular match hosted by

Memphis Oct. 23rd. The Tigers brought Jackson Stateand Murray State both into town, allowing the threeteams to pick up two matches on the same day,something common during the pre-season tourna-ments, but not typical of the regular season sched-ule. The addition proved to be beneficial for the Ti-gers with a pair of non-conference wins movingthem to 17 wins for the season.

But the Tigers then dropped a pair of confer-ence matches on one of their four C-USA road trips,falling at Marquette, 3-0, and dropping a 3-1 deci-sion to DePaul in Chicago. Memphis was now 5-7 inleague play and the watch for tournament seedinghad begun.

A non-conference road trip to UT-Martin ap-peared to get the Tigers back on track with a 3-0win, but the ensuing visit from South Florida droppedMemphis even further back in the league standingswith a 3-0 loss. Needing to get some momentumbuilt up for the conference tournament, the Tigersregained their stride with a 3-0 win over visitingUAB and snuck a 3-2 win out of East Carolina inGreenville. The five-game match at ECU was thefirst since the 3-2 loss at Saint Louis earlier in theconference schedule for Memphis.

The North Carolina swing was a chance forthe Tigers to gain some experience in playing con-secutive games on consecutive nights when Mem-phis played at East Carolina, Friday, at Charlotte, atough 3-2 loss, on Saturday, and at non-confer-ence High Point, Sunday. Memphis went 2-1 on thetrip, easily downing High Point 3-0. On the threematches in three days trip, the Tigers picked upenough wins for their first 20-win season since1994 and their first under head coach Carrie Yerty.

The loss to Charlotte in the conference regularseason finale meant the Tigers finished the C-USAschedule with a record of 7-9. That record drewthem the No. 8 seed for the conference tournament,which was hosted by the University of Houston.The Tigers' first round opponent, and the No. 9 seed,was Tulane University. Led by a 16-kill effort fromsenior Adrianne Edmonds, the Tigers advanced tothe second round of the league tournament for thefirst time in three years. In all, the Tigers' second-round appearance against Cincinnati marked justthe third time since 1994 that Memphis had advancedbeyond the first round of the tournament. But theTigers' ride would end against Cincinnati with a 3-0loss. In Memphis' last game, the Bearcats held theentire roster under the double-digit kill mark, withEdmonds again leading the team with nine kills, sevenof them coming in game one.

The Tiger senior class left an indelible mark onthe record book, led by setter Amie Hamilton. Hamiltonbecame just the second Tiger to earn all-confer-ence marks in Conference USA, earning secondteam honors for 2001. The defensive specialist-turned setter led the country in service aces pergame, with 0.84 per game (97 for the season). Inaddition to moving into the top four in school history

in that category, Hamilton broke the ConferenceUSA record in career service aces with 234. The1998 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year, Hamiltonalso owns the Memphis school record for careerdigs with 1,491.

Fellow senior Ginger Garrett also steppedinto the record book, finishing as Memphis' all-timeleader in career attacks and finishing fourth incareer hitting percentage (.251) and sixth in ser-vice aces (151). Senior right side hitter EmilyEichmann also moved into the books, with her.240 career hitting percentage ranking her fifth inschool history.

Adrianne Edmonds' wrapped up her two-year Tiger career with 456 career kills, with 376of those coming in her senior season. Edmondswas the team's second-leading kill and dig leaderafter coming to Memphis in 2000 pegged as pri-marily a defensive specialist.

The 2001 off-season was a busy one as thecoaching staff went about recruiting to fill the fourdeparting seniors spots. When recruiting wascomplete, assistant coach Fiona Bolten was of-fered, and accepted, the head coaching job atLamar University in Texas, leaving Yerty to recruitone more key spot. She signed Steve Sykes, whowas the head coach at Southern Mississippi twoyears ago, to fill the No. 1 assistant spot.

Amie Hamilton led the country with 0.84service aces per game in 2001. Her 97aces in 2001 tied a school record also

held by Laura Wilson (1981).

ie 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 46 subjects and doctoraldegrees in 21 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.

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, 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 "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 Tiger football team began the Tommy West era in 2001and came within a matter of seconds of breaking the school's30-year bowl drought. Memphis finished the season with a recordof 5-6, matching the most victories by the U of M since the1994 campaign. The Tigers notched wins over UT-Chattanooga, Sooth Florida, Sowthe final contest of the year with a 5-5 record and bowl scouts on hand to awardbattled to the final fours seconds of the contest before the Bearcats pulled out the 3honors and freshman punter James Gaither was named to two All-America Teams.

The 2001 volleyball season will go down as one of the most successful seasons in recent history. The squad opened the year with a 10-0 record, marking the best start in school history. The previous best was a 7-0 mark to open the 1997 season. The Tigers won both theUNC Asheville and Kent State tournaments, and placed several players on the all-tournament teams. Senior Amie Hamilton was namedthe MVP at both events, while senior Ginger Garret* was named as an all-tournament pick at both tournaments. Senior AdriaititeEdmonds garnered honors at the Kent State tournament. The Tigers closed out the season with a 22-10 record, which was the best incoach Carrie Yerty's six years at the helm of the program. It also marked the best season for the Tigers since 1994. Amie Hamilton, whobroke the C-USA career record for service aces, was named to the all-C-USA second team.

First year women's soccer head coach Brooks Monaghan guided the young Lady Tigers to a 5-13-1 mark. The 2001 Lady Tigers featured17 first and second year players and were close to sweeping Mid-South rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Lady Tigers topped theRebels 1 -0 before suffering a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the Bulldogs in the 2001 season finale. Junior midfielder Ali Baker andfreshman sweeper Annika Moller were named to the Under-23 National Amateur Team.

After ah impressive 14-6 record and semi-final appearance in the C-USA tournament following the 2000 season, expectations were highfor the U of M soccer team in 2001. However, plagued by several key injuries and a rough two-week preseason tour of Ireland, theTigers found themselves just one win shy of advancing to postseason play at 6-9-2. Even on a down year, head coach Richie Grant's eyefor talent was never in question, as four seniors received all-conference honors including first-team forward Sean Fraser, second-teammidfielder Justin Stralka and a pair of third-team performers in defender Stephen Lewis and forward Lars Thorstensen. Both Fraser andThorstensen were also recognized on two separate occasions as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week.

The women's cross country claimed its first meet title in recent memory in the 2001 season winning the Arkansas State/Pepsi Invitationalin Jonesboro, Ark. The Lady Tigers finished 31 points ahead of second place Ole Miss. Memphis also had a second place finish in theMurray State Invitational. Individually, senior Wendy Ragle had an outstanding season with three top three finishes during the season.

In men's cross country, the Tigers won the Plough Park Invitational to open the season as Balazs Laszlo won the individual title in thefour-mile run. The men also claimed a second-place finish at the Murray State Invitational as Derek Nakluski, Laszlo, and Ricky McLainfinished third, fourth and fifth respectively in the meet. Memphis finished sixth in the C-USA Championships with Laszlo claiming a top20 finish at 19th.

Phil Chamberlain's Tigers had one of the best seasons in Memphis history. The Tigers posted a 16-8 record, and were undefeated in C-USA play during the regular season at 6-0. Eight of the Tigers' 16 victories came against ranked teams as Memphis played one of thenation's toughest schedules. Senior Michael Chamberlain and freshman Alex Bucewicz were honored for their stellar play as both werenamed C-USA Player of the Week once during the season. Memphis won two team titles this year, claiming the UC-Irvine Anteater Classicand sharing the title of the H.E.B. Invitational in Corpus Christ!, Texas.

Women's tennis finished the 2002 season at 5-16, but had several highlights. Junior Monica Gonzalez-Gordo (Barcelona, Spain) had oneof the greatest seasons in school history. The transfer from Baylor posted a 15-1 record in singles play and paired with junior SabrinaLindemann to go 18-2 in doubles play. Lindemann, an Academic All-America nominee, was just as successful off the court, earning herbachelor's degree in sports management in just three years. She will play her fourth and final season next year as a graduate student.Head coach Charlotte Peterson won her 300th career match, making her only the second women's coach at Memphis to reach that leveljoining former women's basketball coach Mary Lou Johns on that exclusive list.

The Memphis men's golf team, under the direction of 31-year veteran coach Jim Cook, competed in 10 tournaments in 2001-02. Theteam had four top 10 finishes during the season, including a sixth-place finish in the South Alabama Fall Beach Classic. Sophomore DavidJeans was one of the team's top players. He averaged 74.88 strokes per round during the season, and placed in a tie for 26th at the C-USA Championships.

The Tigers captured their first post-season title in any intercollegiate sport, winning the 2002 Owens Corning NIT championship. It wasMemphis' 15th appearance in the NIT. The U of M posted a 27-9 record, marking the squad's most wins since 1985-86. The team's 75percent winning streak also marked the best percentage since the 1986-87 squad finished at 26-8. Under second-year coach JohnCalipari, Memphis won 20+ games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since consecutive 20-win years during the 1994-95 and(995-96 seasons. Memphis won Conference USA's national Division by three games, posting a 12-4 record in league play, and becamethe first repeat National Division title champion since the league went to the two-division system. The Tigers posted a 19-2 record athome, including a 7-1 mark in C-USA play. For a second straight year the U of M set an attendance record drawing 349,737 over 21dates. The 16,654 average over 21 dates ranks second all-time only to last year when Memphis averaged 17,110. Memphis's averageattendance through 18 regular-season home games was 18,241.

The 2001-02 season will go down in the books as one of the most uncharacteristic Lady Tiger basketball seasons in nearly 10 years. Earlyon, coach Joye Lee-McNelis knew adding seven new faces to a roster that only had two seniors, a junior and four sophomores, wouldyield inconsistencies. Memphis showed some promise early in the season. It was the end of the season, when McNeils' squads typicallypeak, that was hard to accept as the U of M saw a seven-game losing streak and an early exit from the C-USA Tournament. Memphisended with an 11-17 overall record that included a disappointing 2-12 record in games played outside of Memphis. The seven-gamelosing streak was the longest since the 1990-91 season, and the 11 wins was the least for a Lady Tiger squad since that same season.There were several positives to note, though . On Feb. 3, 2002, 5-6 point guard Kalara McFadyen recorded what is believed to be thefirst-ever triple-double in NCAA history that did not include a single shot taken. She hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out 12 assists andtotaled 10 steals in the win. She was named a C-USA co-Player of the Week for her effort and was featured in various nationalpublkations including USA Today, Sports Illustrated and the New York Times. Junior Shannon Hamp was named to the all-C-USA secondteam after leading Memphis in scoring all season long.

The 2002 season saw the Tigers battle inexperience and far too many untimely injuries. Still, despite all the setbacks Memphis found away to shine on an individual level within both the record books and the postseason watch. Catcher Barrett Smith, capped a career withover 160 games, a lifetime average of .314 and ranked second in career home runs with 28 and among the all-time top ten in hits andRBI. Junior outfielder Paul Cookman was the C-USA Hitter of the Week on March 25 and rookie shortstop Brent Dlugach brought aglimpse of the future after receiving a selection to the league's All-Freshman team.

Under the direction of interim coach Katie Rump, the Lady Tiger golf team won two tournaments in 2001-02 and again received a bid tothe NCAA Regional Championships. The Lady Tigers opened the season by winning the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate, whilesophomore Jennifer Jaszek won the individual title for her first collegiate victory. The Lady Tigers also won the Edwin Watts/CarolinasClassic at Pinehurst #8 and junior Marianne Rtiud won the individual title. Memphis placed fourth at the C-USA Championships andMeaghan Francella and Jennifer Jaszek were named to the All-Conference Team. The Lady Tigers traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, forthe NCAA East Regional and placed 11 th. Francella received her second consecutive individual bid to the NCAA Championships andcompeted in Auburn, Washington. She tied for 96th.

The 2001 season marked the first time in nine years that a University of Memphis men's track and field student-athlete did not win anMoor conference championship, but sophomore Greg Doughty's conference championship in the javelin at the outdoor championshipskept the Tigers' 10-year outdoor streak alive. After finishing as runner-up in the javelin as a freshman, Doughty claimed the Tigers' onlyevent championship of 2001, helping the Tigers to a 7th place finish at the outdoor championships, matching their indoor finish. JuniorRyan Smith finished second in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the outdoor meet, while the 4x400-meter relay team finished third. DelvitRogers, who holds the Memphis indoor triple jump and outdoor long jump records, finished third in the triple in his last season in a Tigeruniform.

Sophomore Lisa-Marie Hyman's conference championship in the outdoor triple jump gave the Lady Tiger track and field programconference championships in back-to-back years for just the third time since the program was reinstated in 1985. Hyman, who was therunner-up in the triple jump at the Conference USA indoor meet, helped the Lady Tigers to a 10th place finish at the outdoor meet. Thewomen's 4x100 meter relay team captured third at the outdoor meet, finishing behind nationally-ranked powerhouses TCU andHouston and defeating the fourth-place finishers by half a second. Senior Kameilah Amaya posted the Lady Tigers' other third placefinish. Also powering the Lady Tigers in the jumps was freshman Ashley Reed. The Memphis, Tenn. native finished sixth in the long jumpwith a leap of 5.68 meters.

& 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 varsityweightroom 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 AMASCOT

For almost 30 years, the sideline mascot forthe 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 ludge 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 separately, 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

colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected inthe early 1900s.

The colors were chosen in an effort to showunity in a nation that was still recovering fromthe effects of the Civil War. The student bodythought that by picking the colors of the Northand the South, the school would show a together-ness among all students.

THE LOGOThe University of Memphis' official logo has

been redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Dis-ciple Design in Memphis, Tenn.
