2010 Men’s Golf Preview

The Road to Chattanooga

After competing in fi ve events during the fall, the University of Memphis men’s golf team, now in its seventh season under head coach Grant Robbins, has its sights set on earning a spot in the NCAA Champi-onship, held in Chat-tanooga, Tenn. After leading the team to a fourth place confer-ence fi nish in 2008-09, Robbins led the team to four top-10 fi nishes this fall, in-cluding a low fi nish of tied for second at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate. With four new-comers and four seniors, the Ti-gers appear ready to make a run at earning their second NCAA regional berth in the last three years.

The Schedule Memphis will compete in six spring events, including the Conference USA Championship. The Tigers start the spring by traveling to Mobile, Ala., to compete in the Mobile Bay In-tercollegiate (February 21-23) hosted by South Alabama. Memphis fi nished 14th in last year’s event. After a two week break, the Tigers will again travel south, this time to Lafayette, La., to

compete in the Louisiana Classics on March 8-9. Seniors Brad Benjamin and Jordan Payne led the team to an eighth place fi nish in the tournament a season ago. The U of M then trav-els to Goodyear, Ariz.,to compete in the Desert Shootout. The Tigers then com-pete in two consecutive SEC hosted events. The fi rst is the second annual Reunion Intercollegiate hosted by Ole Miss. Last year Memphis fi nished 13th in the event.

Memphis then trav-els to Lexington, Ky., to com-

pete in the University of Kentucky’s Bluegrass Invitational. This will be the fi nal tune up for the Tigers before they compete in the Conference USA Championship. After having two individuals in the top twen-ty and fi nishing fourth as a team last season, Memphis will attempt to capture its fi rst Confer-ence USA men’s golf crown.

One of the Nation’s Best The Frank L. Flautt Center offi cially opened on September 3, 2009. Located next to the Tiger Soft-ball Complex on the University of Memphis’ Park Av-enue Campus, the $1.5 million center provides both the Tiger and Lady Tiger golf teams with state-of-the-art facilities. The center contains a 7,200 square foot indoor practice facility complete with indoor hit-ting bays, study areas, lounge areas, and a video analysis room. In addition to the indoor facilities, the center also has approximately fi ve acres of outdoor driving ranges and short game practice areas.

“Wow. All I can say is what a great day this is for our golf program. Words just cannot express how grateful we are and how much you have done for us, Frank and Brenda Flautt...This is just an amazing facility. It’s gone way above what my expectations were. This has been a vision of mine since I arrived here six years ago. I never thought we would have anything this great. It is, by far, the best in the country. And, we are defi nitely going to work hard to make you proud. Thank you so much for this.” - Coach Grant Robbins

Youth Movement

Memphis will rely heavily on its class of freshmen and sopho-mores in 2010. The Ti-gers currently have sev-en underclassmen on the roster, six of which competed in at least two events during the fall season. Carlson Cox is one of the youthful Ti-gers making an impact. After redshirting his freshman season, Cox competed in four events this fall, posting two top-20 fi nishes and holding the lowest scoring aver-age on the team at 73.2 strokes per round. Cox posted a low round of 69 at the Sam Hall Intercol-legiate and a low fi nish of fourth at the Memphis Intercollegiate.

homecoming

When Jonathan Fly decided to transfer back home to play golf at the Univer-sity of Memphis, Coach Grant Rob-bins had nothing but good things to say about the redshirt sophomore.

Fly transferred to Memphis after spending two years at Au-burn. This fall, Fly was the Tigers’ most consistent performer, competing in all fi ve events and posting two top-10 fi nishes. He had a low fi nish of sev-

enth at the Sam Hall Inter-collegiate, which helped lead

Memphis to a second place team fi nish. Fly had the sec-ond lowest scoring average on the team at 73.4 strokes per round and posted a low round of 68 in the Sam Hall Intercollegiate.

a master at work

Former Tiger Brad Benjamin (2005-09) laid claim to the 2009 USGA Public Links Championship over the summer. With the victory, Benjamin joins Hillman Robbins and Lou Graham as the only Tiger alumni to have won a USGA Championship. Robbins claimed the 1954 United State Amateur Championship and Graham won the 1975 United States Open. Benjamin also earned the opportunity to compete in the 2010 Masters.

Memphis golf celebrates the opening of the Frank L. Flautt Golf Center, a state of the art on campus practice facility.

Robbins, a 1994 graduate of Memphis where he was a three-time all-confer-ence selection, returned to his alma mater as head coach in June of 2003. Robbins replaced his former coach Jim Cook, who unexpectedly passed away in November of 2002. Robbins, the 2008 Conference USA Coach of the Year, has guided the Tigers to seven tournament titles and 23 top-fi ve fi nishes and has had eight different players win a total of twelve tournaments in his fi ve years at the helm. Robbins also led the Tigers to their fi rst postseason berth in more than 20 years when they qualifi ed for the NCAA East Regional last year. After losing three seniors off the 2007-08 squad that earned an NCAA Regional berth, Robbins led a talented, but inexperienced squad to fi ve top-10’s and two top-5’s in 2008-09. Seniors Brad Benjamin and Jordan Payne anchored the squad, each making the Conference USA All-Tournament team. The Tigers posted a low fi nish of second at the Memphis Intercollegiate, where they fell just short of Ohio State in the rain shortened event. Memphis struggled early in the spring before coming on strong at the Conference USA Championship. Led by ninth and 11th place fi nishes by Brad Benjamin and Jordan Payne, the Tigers fi nished fourth in the event and posted their lowest tournament team total of the season. In 2007-08, Robbins was named the Conference USA Coach of the Year after leading the Tigers to seven top-fi ve fi nishes, including one victory at the Charleston Southern University Spring Kick Off. The Tigers, who fi nished in the top 10 in all but two events, played their best golf toward the end of the season posting wins over nationally-ranked Florida State, Clemson, Wake Forest and Texas Tech and earned a bid to the NCAA East Regional. It was the fi rst postseason appearance by Memphis in more than 20 years. Former Tiger Ian Rochester was named All-Conference USA after turning in four top-fi ve fi nishes, including medalist honors at the CSU Spring Kick-Off. Robbie Greenwell was also named to the All- Conference USA team after a strong season that included a win at the Linger Longer Invitational. Robbins led the University of Memphis to a third-place fi nish in the Conference USA Tournament. During the 2006-07 season, Robbins directed the Tigers to seven top-10 fi nish-es, and three top-fi ve showings. Kyle Peterman earned medalist honors in the Mason Rudolph Invitational. Ian Rochester fi nished sixth at the Conference USA tournament to help the Tigers to a seventh place fi nish. Rochester also closed out the season on a strong note by fi nishing second at the Linger Longer Invitational. In 2005-06, Robbins and the Tigers turned in fi ve top-fi ve fi nishes, including three top-three fi nishes and a title at the 2005 Memphis Intercollegiate. Memphis cracked the top 10 in 12 events, and former Tiger Keven Fortin-Simard earned med-alist honors three times and was named the Conference USA Player of the Year. Robbins also led the U of M to a fourth place showing at the Conference USA Tour-nament, where Brad Benjamin fi nished third to help Memphis to the school’s best conference fi nish since 1999. During the 2004-05 campaign, Robbins led the Tigers to three tournament victories, which is the most fi rst-place fi nishes in a single year in school history. Under Robbins, four Memphis golfers earned medalist honors, the team fi nished in

the top two in fi ve of the 10 events and Fortin-Simard was named All-Conference USA. In the 2003-04 season, Robbins led Memphis to four top fi ve fi nishes in its 10 tournaments, including a fi rst-place fi nish (out of 15 teams) at the Matlock Col-legiate Classic in Lakeland, Fla. He also led Memphis to third, fourth and fi fth place fi nishes in three separate tournaments, and the Tigers won a dual match against Mississippi State on the Bulldogs’ home course. Memphis individuals had seven top fi ve fi nishes in 11 tournaments, and both David Jeans and Alan Weant were named All-Conference USA. Robbins spent four seasons at the helm of the UNC-Wilmington program before coming to Memphis. His teams won 11 tournament titles in his time on the Atlantic coast, including four events during the 2002-03 season, his fi nal campaign with the Seahawks. The Seahawks placed in the top three in 28 events under Robbins as he led UNCW to its fi rst-ever NCAA Tournament bid in 2003. Robbins was named the 2001 Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year in just his second year at UNCW. During his time at Wilmington, he coached one CAA Player of the Year, two CAA Rookies of the Year and 13 All-CAA players. Seven different golfers were indi-vidual medalists in 10 tournaments during Robbins’ four-year tenure. Before taking the post at UNCW, Robbins coached for two years as an assis-tant at Penn State University. While there, he helped the Nittany Lions advance to a pair of NCAA East Regionals in 1998 and 1999. Robbins assisted in all facets of the Penn State program and served as the recruiting coordinator. He was also the tour-nament director of the Rutherford Intercollegiate and was an instructor for the Penn State Golf Camps. Robbins gained valuable experience playing on three different professional golf tours following his graduation from Memphis. Robbins put in time on the North Florida PGA Winter Tour (1994-95), the Tommy Armour Professional Golf Tour (1994-95) and the Tour America Mid-South Professional Golf Tour (1995). A Memphis native, Robbins was a four-year letterman on the Tiger golf team from 1990-94, and also served as a team captain his junior and senior seasons. He was an All-Great Midwest Conference team selection three times and was also a recipient of the Jake Fondren Golf Scholar-ship. During his senior season at the 1994 Vanderbilt/Music City Intercollegiate, Rob-bins tied for what was then the second-lowest single round in school history when he shot a 6-under-par 66, two strokes shy of the school record. Robbins earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing in 1994 from the University of Memphis and returned to the U of M after his playing career where he earned his master’s degree in sports management in 1997. Robbins entered the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) in August of 2007 and is currently working toward Class A membership. Robbins passed the PGA’s Playing Ability Test at Temple Hills Golf Club in Nashville, carding the lowest score by 10 shots with rounds of 68-72. He is currently an instructor at the Jerry Haas Golf Camp at Wake Forest University, and has also served as an instructor at the Duke University Golf School, the Pine Needles Youth Golfari in Southern Pines, North Carolina, the Penn State Nittany Lion Golf Camp and the Fighting Scot Golf Camp in Wooster, Ohio. Robbins and his wife, Brooke, currently reside in Cordova, Tenn.

Now in his seventh season as head coach of the University of Memphis men’s golf team, Grant Robbins continues to build Tiger golf into a nationally-ranked program. Prior to being named head coach of the Tigers, Robbins proved his expertise at the University of North Carolina-

Wilmington, where he built the Seahawk golf program into a national powerhouse.

The U of M welcomed fi ve newcom-ers in 2008-09, after losing three seniors off the previous year’s NCAA tournament team. Freshman Jack Belote made an im-mediate impact, fi nishing in the top-20 in his fi rst ever collegiate tournament and earning C-USA golfer of the Week. Senior Jordan Payne also had his best fall as a Ti-ger, posting two top-10 fi nishes, including a tie for fi fth at the Memphis Intercollegiate. The Tigers fi nished in the top-10 in three of their four tournaments, including a second place fi nish at the Memphis Intercollegiate. After a rough start in the spring, the Tigers responded in the FAU Spring Break Championship. Payne fi red a three day to-tal of 212 to lead Memphis to a seventh place fi nish. The Tigers also posted a top-10 fi nish at the River Landing Intercolle-giate before heading to the C-USA Men’s Golf Championship. In the conference tournament, Brad Benjamin led the Tigers, fi nishing tied for ninth with scores of 72-69-73 and leading Memphis to a fourth place team fi nish.

Benjamin and Payne Close out Careers

Both Brad Benjamin and Jordan Payne wrapped up their respective careers in 2008-09. Going into the season, the duo knew they would have to step up their play and really embrace the role of senior lead-ers. That is exactly what they did, as Ben-jamin posted three top-10 fi nishes, includ-ing a season low fi nish of tied for 11th at the 2009 Conference USA Championship. Payne led the team with a 73.9 scoring av-erage and posted fi ve top-20 fi nishes.

FreshmanSensation

Jack Belote entered the 2008-09 sea-son as a highly touted local prospect. Belote lived up to the hype as he became the fi rst Ti-ger freshman under Coach Grant Robbins to compete in every event. Belote held a scor-ing average of 75.4, third best on the team, and posted three top-20 fi nishes. Belote also earned C-USA Golfer of the Week accolades for his performance in his collegiate debut at the Mason Rudolph Intercollegiate.

• Ted Butler and Greg Powers joined the Tiger golf team in 1965-66 and led the team to some of its fi nest moments. Playing with Malarkey, Mike Nixon and Russ Glover, the team would win numerous tournament titles and gain the squad’s fi rst NCAA team bid. Bill Brogden be-came the head coach in 1967. Brogden was a strong recruiter and would continue to bring talented players to Memphis. Mike Nixon, Billy Buchanan and Steve Busch were but a few of the outstanding Tiger players in the late 1960’s.

1971-80• Jim Cook was named head coach in 1971 and

set about keeping the tradition alive. His 1973 team captured the title of the Mid-America Intercollegiate in St. Louis, Missouri, Cook’s fi rst collegiate victory.

• The 1976 Tiger golf team won the Metro Con-ference Tournament. Paul Haire, Kirk Bailey, Tim Rush, South Smith and Putter Robbins, the son of the late Hillman Robbins, were all named to the All-Conference team.

1981-90• The Tiger golf team repeated as champion

of the Metro Conference again in 1988. Dur-ing the 1988 season, the Tigers won the New Orleans Invitational, as well as the Metro Con-ference title and freshman Gregg Gill claimed Metro Conference medalist honors. The team completed the year with 12 top 10 fi nishes in 12 tournaments and advanced to the NCCA fi nals.

1991-2000• In the fall of 1990, with Cook recovering from

heart surgery, the Tiger team won the Dixie Intercollegiate and the Hillman Robbins Me-morial Tournament in Memphis.

• The 1992 squad won the fi rst Great Midwest Conference championship and the Tigers’ Troy Witham captured the medalist honors. Jim Cook was named the Great Midwest Confer-ence Coach of the Year.

• The 1995 team competed in the Great Midwest Conference for the fi nal season. It was an-nounced during the winter that the Tigers were joining the newly formed Conference USA. The new league would consist of members from the Great Midwest Conference, the old Metro Con-ference and the Southwest Conference. Mem-phis was now aligned with Cincinnati, Mar-quette, Saint Louis, UAB and DePaul from the GMC, Louisville, Southern Mississippi, Tulane, Charlotte and USF from the Metro Conference and Houston from the Southwest Conference. In the fi nal year of the GMC, the Tigers fi nished second in the conference championship which was hosted by the Tigers at Farmington Coun-try Club.

• The 1996 team competed for the fi rst time in the newly formed Conference USA, which fea-tured such outstanding golf teams as Houston and USF.

• The youthful 1997 team was comprised of two freshmen, one sophomore and two seniors yet still managed fi ve top 10 fi nished including a fourth-place fi nish in the Conference USA Championship. Sophomore Blair Scurlock was named to the All-Conference USA Team for his play.

• The 1998 Tiger golf team had six top 10 tour-nament fi nishes, including a tie for fi fth in the Persimmon Ridge Intercollegiate in Louisville, Kentucky. Blair Scurlock was named to the All-C-USA team.

• The 1999 Tiger golf team placed two individu-als on the honors team. Blair Scurlock was named to the All-C-USA Tournament team and junior Colin Wright received All-Conference honors.

2001-Present• The 2000 Tiger golf team tied for sixth in the

Conference USA Championship and Tiger freshman David Jeans tied for 13th with a score of 223. Michael Prieur tied for 14th in the Southern Hills Invitational in Tulsa.

• The 2002 fall golf season was perhaps the U of M’s best in many years, but tragedy struck late in the fall. After winning the DePaul Blue Demon Invitational and placing fourth in two events and fi fth in two others, Tiger golf coach Jim Cook died of a heart attack just 36 hours after returning from the South Alabama Fall Beach Classic. Cook had coached the Tiger golf team for 31 and a half years. He was re-placed by Bob Winn for the spring of 2003.

• Former Tiger golfer Grant Robbins was hired as the new head golf coach and began his duties in the fall of 2003. Robbins, a three-time All-Great Midwest conference selection at Memphis, had served as the head golf coach at UNC-Wilmington for four years and had built the Seahawk program into a national contender.

• In the beginning of just his second year as head coach, Robbins led the Tigers to three tournament wins during the fall of 2004, as Memphis rallied from behind in all three wins. It is the fi rst time in school history that the Tigers won as many as three tournaments in a sea-

son. In all three wins, Memphis also had the individual medalist, as three different Tigers won individual titles in the three wins.

• Keven Fortin-Simard won his second individual title in 2005, medalling at the Memphis Inter-collegiate. The Tigers won the event for the second-straight year and earned champion-ship honors for the fourth time in two years. Fortin-Simard went on to have a successful campaign in the spring of 2006, picking up two more wins and three more top-10 fi nishes. Brad Benjamin fi nished third at the Conference USA Tournament and helped Memphis to a fourth place fi nish, the best conference fi nish by a Tiger golf squad since 1999.

• The Tigers welcomed fi ve freshmen and two transfers to campus in 2006-07 and 10 golfers saw action in the Memphis lineup. Ian Roches-ter started off his junior campaign right with three top-20 fi nishes in the fall season. Brad Benjamin and Lewis Clarke made one top-10 appearance each and Kyle Peterman picked up co-medalist honors at the Mason Rudolph Intercollegiate, his fi rst collegiate tournament. In the spring Ian Rochester recorded two sec-ond-place fi nishes and a sixth-place fi nish at the conference tournament. Brad Benjamin earned medalist honors at the Palisades Col-legiate Classic.

• The Tigers got off to a hot start in 2007-2008 fi nishing in the Top-10 in each of their four fall events. Seniors Ian Rochester and Robbie Greenwell picked up two top-10 fi nishes apiece and sophomore Brandon Bunn tied for fi fth at the Memphis Intercollegiate. The Tigers ended the year with their fi rst NCAA Tournament ap-pearance since 1988, earning an at-large bid in the NCAA East Regional after fi nishing third in the C-USA Championship. Head coach Grant Robbins was named the 2008 C-USA Coach of the Year.

• The U of M welcomed fi ve newcomers in 2008-09, after losing three seniors off last year’s NCAA tournament team. Freshman Jack Be-lote made an immediate impact, fi nishing in the top-20 in his fi rst ever collegiate tourna-ment and earning C-USA golfer of the week. Senior Jordan Payne also had his best fall as a Tiger, posting two top-10 fi nishes, including a tie for fi fth at the Memphis Intercollegiate. The Tigers fi nished in the top-10 in three of their four tournaments, including a second place fi nish at the Memphis Intercollegiate. After a rough start in the Spring, the Tigers responded in the FAU Spring Break Championship. Jor-dan Payne fi red a three day total of 212 to lead Memphis to a seventh place fi nish. The Tigers would also post one more top-10 fi nish at the River Landing Intercollegiate before heading to the C-USA Men’s Golf Championship. In the conference tournament, Brad Benjamin led the Tigers, fi nishing tied for ninth with scores of 72-69-73 and leading Memphis to a fourth place team fi nish.

• Memphis welcomed in four newcomers in the fall of 2009, including transfer Jonathan Fly. A native of Memphis, Fly transferred back home after spending two seasons at Auburn. He led the Tigers this fall, posting two top-10 fi nishes. Redshirt freshman Carlson Cox also made a big impact this fall, holding the lowest scoring average on the team at 73.2 The Tigers post-ed a low team fi nish of second at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate with scores of 277-285-284.

Stepping Up

In its second year under Coach Beth Harrelson, the Uni-versity of Memphis women’s golf program continues to grow and improve. After leading the team to four top-ten fi nishes in 2008-09, Harrelson has al-ready led this year’s squad to an impressive three top-10’s, including a victory at the 2009 UAB Fall Beach Blast. With the opening of the Frank L. Flautt Center and the talented group of newcomers, Harrelson looks to lead the Lady Tigers back to the NCAA Regionals for the fi rst time since 2007.

The Schedule The Lady Tigers will compete in fi ve events this spring, including the Conference USA Championship. Memphis kicks off its 2010 slate by traveling to the Sunshine State to compete in the Qdoba Invitational (February 14-16) for the second con-secutive season. Last year, Memphis fi nished 13th in the event and was led by senior Rachel Larson’s 22nd place fi nish.

After a two week reprieve, the Lady Tigers will then travel down to the Gulf Coast for the Lady Jaguar Invitational (March 1-2), hosted by South Alabama. The U of M then trav-els to Crystal Lakes, Fla., to compete in the Cincin-nati Spring Invitational on March 26-27. After fi nish-ing sixth and posting their lowest team score in over two years at the Cincinnati Fall Invitational, the Lady Tigers look to build off that performance and go even lower.

For its fi nal tuneup before the Conference USA

Championship, Memphis will travel to Rich-mond, Kentucky on April 10-11 to play in the Lady Colonel Classic hosted by Eastern Ken-tucky University. Memphis will then set its sights on reclaim-ing the Conference USA crown and earning its fi rst berth into the NCAA Regionals since 2008. The 2010 version of the Conference USA Cham-pionship will be played in Hattiesburg, Miss., at the Canebrake Golf Club.

Sarah Mathews, Alex Aläng, Marissa Steen, Kathleen Glavin, Coach Harrelson, and Leslie Grabeman celebrate after winning the 2009 UAB Fall Beach Blast.

Now in her second full year at Memphis after transferring, Leslie Grabeman is the only se-nior on this year’s squad. Since coming to Memphis, Grabeman has competed in every event for the Lady Tigers, posting fi ve top-10 fi nishes. This fall, Grabe-man posted two top-10 fi nishes, including her career low fi nish at the Lady Red Wolf Classic. Her rounds of 78-74 earned her not only a tie for fourth, but also Conference USA Female Golfer of the Week accolades. She then posted rounds of 81-75 to fi nish T20 at the CSU Wendy’s Invi-tational, her third consecutive top-20 fi nish. That performance also led Memphis to a third place team fi nish, the lowest under second year head coach Beth Harrelson. Grabeman then fi red rounds of 76-72 to fi nish fi fth in the fi nal event of the fall, the UAB Fall Beach Bash. That showing helped lead the Lady Tigers to rounds of 300-295 and claim their fi rst team title under Harrelson and the fi rst since the 2007 Conference USA Champi-onship. The fi fth-place fi nish also marked Grabeman’s fourth con-secutive top-20 fi nish.

“Leslie had a fantastic fall this year. I think that once she played well at Cincinnati, she really kind of got go-ing. Overall, she has done well to set an example for the younger players of the level of play we expect here.” - Coach Beth Harrelson

Sophomores The Lady Tigers return a talented trio of sophomores in 2010. Caitlin McDonald, Marissa Steen, and Kathleen Glavin all return after being regular contributors in 2008-09.

Freshmen

After taking over as the head coach, Beth Harrelson promised to return the program to its former heights. She took a big step in that direction with the signing of the freshman class consisting of Sarah Mathews, Julia Hodgson, and Alex Aläng.

McDonald was a familiar name in Memphis prep golf from her play-ing days at Immaculate Conception High School. While there, she was named “Best of the Preps” by the Commercial Appeal in 2007. Since transferring to the University of Memphis after one year at Chris-tian Brothers University, McDonald has made an immediate impact on Lady Tiger golf. Last season, she competed in all but one event for the Lady Tigers, posting a low fi n-ish of 47th at the 2009 Conference USA Championship. McDonald competed in one event this fall for the Lady Tigers as an individual, shooting rounds of 96-101 at the Lady Red Wolf Clas-sic to fi nish 71st.

“Caitlin continues to work hard on her game and improve. She’s going to be one of the leaders on the team next year, and I know she’s ready.”- Coach Beth Harrelson

Marissa Steen returns this sea-son after leading the Lady Tigers in scoring and top-20 fi nishes in 2008-09. Steen continued her strong play this fall, posting three top-10 fi nishes. After struggling to a 52nd place fi nish in the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational, Steen reeled off three straight top-10’s at the Cincinnati Fall invitational, Lady Red Wolf Classic, and the CSU Wendy’s Invitational. Her rounds of 78-77 at the UAB Fall Beach Blast helped lead the Lady Tigers to their fi rst team victory under Coach Har-relson and the fi rst for the program since the 2007 Conference USA Championship. Steen held a scor-ing average of 77.9, with a low round of 75 at the Cincinnati Fall Invitational.

“Marissa has been a very consistent performer for us this fall. She always competes at the highest level, and I ex-pect her to continue to improve through-out her time here.” - Coach Beth Harrelson

After competing in all eight events in 2008-09, Kathleen Glavin returns as one of the most expe-rienced players on the Lady Tiger roster. Glavin opened the season at the Lady Paladin Invitational, where she posted rounds of 81-80 to fi n-ish T52 in the rain shortened event. She fi nished T49 at the Lady Red Wolf Classic with rounds of 80-87. Though she was forced to miss the CSU Wendy’s Invitational due to a back injury, Glavin took advantage of the time off to get ready for the UAB Fall Beach Bash. At that event, Glavin posted an opening round 72 to grab a share of the individual lead. Her second round 78 left her in eighth place, the lowest fi nish of her career. Her performance also led Memphis to its fi rst ever victory under Coach Harrelson.

“Kathleen is an absolute pleasure to coach. She’s completely genuine and is one of the hardest workers I’ve seen. We all saw that work pay off at the (UAB Fall Beach Bash).”- Coach Beth Harrelson

Aläng was the 85th ranked ju-nior girl in Sweden. She played tournaments on the Skandia Junior Tour, where she fi nished in the top-10 fi ve times, with a low fi nish of second. After adjusting to American golf courses, Aläng has been a regu-lar contributor. She posted rounds of 76-74 to lead the Lady Tigers and fi nish eighth at the CSU Wen-dy’s Invitational. She also posted scores of 79-73 to help Memphis win the UAB Fall Beach Blast.

“It took Alex a little while to get used to everything here, but she has played wonderfully since she has. I’m very proud of her.” -Coach Beth Harrelson

A highly touted prospect out of Canada, Hodgson was the captain of her high school golf team for three years. She was also a mem-ber of the 2007 CJGA (Canadian Junior Golf Association) Stephen Ames Canada Ryder Cup team that went 3-0. This season, Hodgson com-peted in two events for the Lady Tigers, with a low fi nish of 33rd at the Cincinnati Fall Classic. She also fi red rounds of 86-79 to lead Memphis to a third place fi nish at the CSU Wendy’s Invitational.

“Julia has worked very hard this fall, and we are now seeing some of the hard work pay off. I am sure she’ll continue to practice in the offseason and get ready for the spring.” -Coach Beth Harrel-son

Mathews was a household name in area prep golf before sign-ing with the U of M. She was a fi -nalist for the Commercial Appeal’s “Best of the Preps” four years in a row (2005-2008), as well as the 2007 Commercial Appeal Female Golfer of the Year. This fall, Mathews competed in three events for Memphis, with a low fi nish of T2 at the UAB Fall Beach Bash. Her rounds of 74-73 in that event led the Lady Tigers to their fi rst team title since the 2007 C-USA Championship.

“I’ve known Sarah for several years and she continues to impress me. She worked very hard this fall, and it really showed (at the UAB Fall Beach Blasrt).” -Coach Beth Harrelson

This fall, Harrelson welcomed three newcomers after losing just one returnee. After struggling to a 14th place fi nish in the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational, Harrelson has led the Lady Ti-gers to three top-5 fi nishes. After posting back to back third place fi nishes at the Lady Red Wolf Classic and the CSU Wendy’s Invi-tational, Memphis fi nally broke through to win the UAB Fall Beach Blast. Led by freshman Sarah Mathews’ rounds of 74-73, the Lady Tigers posted team totals of 300-295 (the lowest two team scores under Harrelson) to capture the fi rst victory under Harrelson and the fi rst for the program since 2007. After taking over a program that only had four returning schol-arship players in August of 2008, Harrelson led the 2008-09 Lady Tigers to four top-10 team fi nishes. Harrelson worked on laying the solid foundation for future success of the women’s golf program. A graduate of Briarcrest High School, the former Beth Walthal signed a volleyball scholarship with the University of Alabama be-fore declining the offer and choosing to attend the U of M. She arrived on campus in 1982 and played for Coach Diane Hale during the fall season. After redshirting for a year, she made the transi-tion to golf in 1984 and received the team’s Most Improved Player award following the 1984-85 season. As a senior, Harrelson was selected as captain of her team and posted the team’s lowest scor-ing average. After graduating with a journalism degree, Harrelson partici-pated on the Futures Tour for two years before moving to Scott-sdale, Ariz., to work as an assistant professional at the TPC of Scottsdale during the winter and at Stonebridge Golf Club during the remainder of the year.

In 1987, the talented player won the Memphis area Women’s Golf Association Tournament and the Double Eagle Golf Tourna-ment. She was also the medalist in the 1988 Tennessee State Tournament. She returned to Memphis permanently in 1990 and accepted a full-time position as the assistant pro at Stonebridge Golf Club. She became the golf instructor at Stonebridge in 1991 and held that position until 1998 when she moved to Quail Ridge Golf Club in Bartlett as the golf instructor. While working at Stonebridge Golf Club, she earned her PGA Class A membership into the Profes-sional Golfers Association in 1995. Harrelson was inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame in 1999. Later she was inducted into the Briarcrest High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2006. She and her husband, Tim, have three children; daughter Megan, who is a junior at the U of M;daughter Grace, who is a student at Briarcrest; and son, Jon.

In her second season as the head coach of the University of Memphis women’s golf team, Beth Harrelson continues to build the program into a national force. Prior to being named head coach of the Lady Tigers, Harrelson was an instructor at Memphis National Golf Club, as well as the head

coach of St. Mary’s High School.

Fall 2009 Women’s Golf Results

When Beth Harrelson took over a de-pleted Lady Tiger golf program in August of 2008, everyone knew the team would have to go through some growing pains. In her fi rst season as a college golf coach, Har-relson guided the Lady Tigers to fi ve top-10 fi nishes in only eight tournaments, in-cluding a low fi nish of seventh at the Ross Resorts Invitational.

Larson’s Career comes to a close

Rachel Larson, a four-year letter winner for the Lady Tiger golf program, wrapped up her Memphis career in 2008-09. Larson competed in seven events, posting three top-10 fi nishes and holding the team’s second lowest scoring average of 79.2. In her four years at Memphis, Lar-son competed in 36 tournaments, posting 15 top-20 fi nishes and holding a career scoring average of 79.2.

newcomersmaking an impact

The 2008-09 Lady Tiger squad wel-comed three newcomers to the program. Kathleen Glavin (Dayton, Ohio/Archbishop Alter HS), Marissa Steen (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West HS), and Caitlin McDon-ald (Memphis, Tenn./Christian Brothers Univ.), and all made immediate impacts. Glavin competed in all eight events, holding a scoring average of 83.9 and turning in a season best fi nish of T12th at the Southern Miss Lady Eagle Invitational. Steen also competed in all eight tournaments, carry-ing a team best 79.1 scoring average and

posting a team-high three top-20 fi nishes. McDonald, who transferred to the Univer-sity of Memphis after redshirting her fresh-man season at Christian Brothers Univer-sity, competed in all but one event for the Lady Tigers. Her low fi nish (47th) came at the 2009 Conference USA Women’s Golf Championship.

Both Kathleen Glavin and Marissa Steen were selected as National Golf Coaches Association Academic All Ameri-can Scholars for their academic achieve-ments. Rachel Larson and Cameron Bar-ber were the last Lady Tigers to receive the award in 2007.

1977-79• The University of Memphis women’s golf program

began in 1977 under current Associate Athletic Director Lynn Parkes. With a handful of tryouts, Parkes started a program that today is one of the most respected women’s golf programs in the country. That fi rst Lady Tiger team consisted of Theresa Simi, Gloria Carkeet, Cindy Gabel, Kathy Whitetree, C.C. Chamberlain and Sydney Forrester.

• In the second season, Parkes awarded three scholarships and that number increased to 10 scholarship players in 1979-80. The fi rst scholar-ship Lady Tiger golfers included Monice Madden, Jackie Worley and Elaine Heroux, a junior college transfer.

• The 1978-79 team participated in eight events and placed in the top 10 in four of the eight tourna-ments. The team won the TCWSE (Tennessee College Women’s State Finals) in 1979. Mary Ann Bailey had a season low round of 78, and she also qualifi ed for the USGA Women’s Amateur. Karen Young was signed in 1978-79 and became an impact player for the Lady Tigers. The team cap-tured their fi rst team championship in the TCWSF Tournament.

• In 1979-80, Maureen Danehy and Susan Hundley became Lady Tigers. Hundley had just won the Indiana Long Driving competition prior to signing with the University of Memphis.

1980-89• By 1982-83, Kathy Vendetti was added to the

already strong Lady Tiger golf team. She imme-diately made a name for herself and before she graduated, set virtually every U of M golf record. The Lady Tiger team placed in the top 10 in all four spring tournaments in 1983. They were fi fth in the Troy State tournament for their best fi nish of the spring. Vendetti had a 78.8 stroke average and posted a low round of 74 in the Carrier/Memphis State Women’s Tournament. In her 26 rounds that year, 16 were in the 70s.

• Sally Andrews, a well-known local golfer, joined Memphis as assistant golf coach in 1983-84 and helped Parkes mold an even stronger team. Ven-detti led the Lady Tigers, placing third at the Ala-bama Intercollegiate. She was joined by Renee Schafer and together they fi red more rounds in the 70s. Vendetti had a season low round of 72 at the Furman Intercollegiate and a 75 at the Lady

Seminole and the Carrier/Memphis State Women’s Open. Schafer also had a low round of 75 at the Memphis tournament.

• Beth Walthal and Leslie Folsom were looked on as leaders for the 1985-86 Lady Tiger team. They led the squad to a fi fth-place fi nish at the Kentucky Lady Kat Intercollegiate and the Metro Confer-ence Championships.

• In 1986-87 Andrews took over for Lynn Parkes as head coach, when Parkes was elevated to Assist-ant Athletic Director for Women’s Sports. Andrews inherited a team made up of Angie Barker, Cyn-thia Brooks, and Folsom, and added the fi rst in-ternational players to the team in Beatriz Cowman of Chile and Heather Lee from Canada. She also inked Gia Kronske of Clearwater, Florida.

• In 1987-88 Parkes’ sister, Christi Parkes, was joining forces with Cowman, Lee and Kronske to post impressive scores. Parkes had a 75 in the Metro Conference Tournament. Cowman, a na-tive of Santiago, Chile, had a 76 at the Southern Intercollegiate, while Kronske fi nished 16th at the Hudson Invitational with a low round of 75. Lee was fourth in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegi-ate, while Barker fi nished tied for seventh in the Metro Conference Tournament with a three-round total of 235. The squad won the UAB Lady Blazer Tournament in the spring of 1988, the team’s fi rst NCAA sanctioned tournament title.

• Cynthia Brooks was named the Most Improved Player for the Lady Tigers in 1988-89. Cowman continued her assault on par, fi ring a 74 at UAB’s Lady Blazer Tournament. Kronske was seventh in the Metro Conference and sixth at the Tiger-Tide. She received All-Metro Conference honors and fi nished the season with a 79.4 stroke aver-age. Lee had rounds of 73-74 at the True Tem-per/Memphis Women’s Open and led the team in stroke average with a 78.7 average per round.

• The Lady Tigers placed second in the UAB Lady Blazer Tournament in 1989-90 with Cowman, Kro-nske and Lee leading the team. Cowman had a 74.2 stroke average in the fall and placed fi fth in the Kentucky Lady Kat Invitational. Both Kronske and Lee carried stroke averages in the 70s.

1990-99• Lori Brock came on board as the Lady Tiger head

coach in 1991-92 and under her tutelage, captured just the second offi cial tournament championship in the history of the program. The Lady Tigers won the Nebraska Women’s Intercollegiate. The golf team also placed second in the Peggy Kirk Bell hosted by Rollins College and were fourth in the prestigious Tiger-Tide and South Alabama Inter-collegiate.

• In 1993-94, the Lady Tiger golf team grabbed the spotlight with its outstanding play. Led by Al-lison Bell and Kim Hunt, the Lady Tigers captured the fi rst Great Midwest Conference women’s golf championship. Bell was the medalist and Hunt placed second, and head coach Lori Brock was named Coach of the Year. Alissa Lauder was the medalist in the NTU/SMU Invitational Tournament and qualifi ed for the NCAA Golf Championships, where she placed 27th in a fi eld of 102 golfers.

• The 1994-95 Lady Tiger golf team again swept through the Great Midwest Conference tourna-ment, held at Farmington Country Club in Mem-phis, winning by 47 strokes over its next closest opponent. Junior Melissa Isham claimed medalist honors with teammates Marie-Louise Hviid and Allison Bell tying for second. Isham was named to the All-GMC team, as were teammates Hviid, Bell and Cristi Fernandez. Hviid was also named GMC Newcomer of the Year and head coach Lori Brock

received Coach of the Year honors.• Lori Brock left the University of Memphis in the

summer of 1995, and Debby King was hired as the new Lady Tiger head golf coach. King led her new team to its fi rst championship of the Mem-phis Women’s Intercollegiate Tournament in Sep-tember and two additional top-fi ve fi nishes in fall events.

• Under the direction of Debby King, the Lady Ti-gers captured their second tournament title of the season. Memphis won the rain-shortened Lady Panther Invitational, while Melissa Isham fi red a 69 to earn individual medalist honors. Through the course of the 1995-96 season, the Lady Ti-gers wrapped up fi ve top-fi ve fi nishes and earned a spot in the NCAA Regionals for the fi rst time in school history. Freshman Naima Ghilain was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year.

• The Lady Tiger golf team had the fi nest season in school history in 1996-97. Led by newcomer Amanda Moltke-Leth, the Lady Tigers won the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate to open the season. They closed the fall season by winning the Lady Panther Golf Classic in Atlanta and then ended the spring schedule with their third tour-nament victory, this time in the Conference USA Championship. Moltke-Leth took medalist hon-ors in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate, the Lady Panther Golf Classic, and the Duke Spring Invitational en route to being named the Confer-ence USA Freshman of the Year. Debby King won Coach of the Year honors and all fi ve Tiger team-mates - Kim Hunt, Amanda Moltke-Leth, Naima Ghilain, Meredith Thomas and Valerie Luehrs - were named to the All-Conference USA Team. The Lady Tigers received their bid to the NCAA Regional Championships and placed eighth.

• The 1997-98 Lady Tiger golf team continued with their nationally ranked play, as the team received their third-consecutive bid to the NCAA Champi-onships. The Lady Tigers had seven top-10 tour-nament fi nishes in nine tournament starts and placed 10th in the NCAA East Regional in Dur-ham, North Carolina. Amanda Moltke-Leth and Naima Ghilain were both named to the All-Confer-ence USA team.

• The 1998-99 Lady Tiger golf team made it four in a row when the team received another bid to the NCAA Regionals. The Lady Tigers travelled to Co-lumbia, South Carolina, for the NCAA Regionals and were led in play by Natalie Tucker, who tied for seventh at The University Club. On the year, Amanda Moeltke-Leth (1995-2001) won medalist honors three

times during her career with Memphis.

Melissa Isham (1994-96) claimed medalist honors at the 1995 Great Midwest Conference Tournament.

Tucker won the individual title at the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate and fi nished third in the Conference USA Championships. She had seven top-10 fi nishes in the 10 tournaments in which the Lady Tigers competed. Naima Ghilain ended her career with Memphis by placing fi fth in the Con-ference USA Championships and again being named to the All-Conference team, an honor she received all four years at the U of M.

• The 1999-2000 Lady Tiger golf team spent the fall introducing a number of young players to the game of college golf. Senior Valerie Luehrs led the squad with a second-place fi nish in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate. The highlight of the fall for the Lady Tigers was a trip to Hawaii to partici-pate in the Rainbow Wahine Fall Golf Classic. The team travelled to the islands and spent an enjoya-ble week playing in this prestigious college event. The trip marked the fi rst time in the history of the program that a Lady Tiger golf team had travelled outside the continent for play.

2000-Present• The 2000-01 Lady Tiger golf team enjoyed an-

other outstanding season. With a youthful squad, the Lady Tigers won the Conference USA Cham-pionship and received their fi fth bid in six seasons to the NCAA Regional. Tiger freshman Meaghan Francella won the C-USA individual title and was named the Freshman of the Year. She was also named to the All-Conference and All-Tournament squads. Marianne Ruud was named All-Confer-ence and All-Tournament, while Jennifer Jaszek earned All-Tournament honors.

• The 2001-2002 season opened with former head coach Debby King leaving the U of M to start a pro-gram at Notre Dame. Katie Rump, an outstanding collegiate and amateur player from the Memphis area, was named as the interim head coach and led her team to a tournament victory in its fi rst start of the season. The Lady Tigers went on to win the Edwin Watts/Carolina’s Classic, where junior Mar-ianne Ruud also captured the medalist honors for her fi rst collegiate tournament victory. The Lady Tigers received their sixth invitation to the NCAA Tournament and participated in the East Regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sophomore Meaghan Francella received an individual invitation to the

NCAA Championships. • The 2002-03 season became another of change

for the Memphis women’s golf team. Sheryl Maize, the head coach at Augsburg College in Minnesota and a noted teacher of the game, was hired as the permanent head coach replacing Ka-tie Rump, who served as the interim coach for one year. Maize immediately won her fi rst tournament, The Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate, and led the squad to three top-fi ve fi nishes in the fall of 2002. The Tigers were third at the Louisville Lady Cardinal Cup and fourth at the Beacon Woods In-vitational.

• Due to circumstances beyond their control, mem-bers of the Lady Tiger golf team and their head coach faced yet another change for the 2003-04 season. Maize returned to the state of Florida af-ter an extended family illness and was granted a year’s leave of absence to take care of family matters. Former NCAA offi cial and South Carolina women’s golf coach Donna Noonan took over the team on an interim basis and coached the Lady Tigers.

• For the fourth-straight year, the Lady Tigers brought in a new coach. Jenny Bruun replaced in-terim coach Donna Noonan for the 2004-05 sea-son. Bruun came to Memphis after two years as the assistant coach for both the men’s and wom-en’s golf teams at Campbell University. A fi rst-year head coach, Bruun inherited a young team with only one junior along with six sophomores and one freshman.

• Sophomore Stacey Tate led the Lady Tigers in the 2004-05 season with the program’s fi rst individual title since 2002. Tate earned medalist honors at the Lady Eagle Classic and was selected the C-USA Player of the Week.

• Tate’s three fi rst-place fi nishes were only some of the highlights of the 2005-06 campaign. Tate went on to set new school records for 18, 36, and 54 holes as well as posting a stroke average of 74.1, beating the previous school record by 1.7 strokes. As a team, the Lady Tigers roared to victory at the Lady Eagle Invitational, their fi rst tournament victory since the 2002 Memphis Women’s Inter-collegiate.

• Memphis started off the 2006-07 season strong. After starting the year by fi nishing sixth at the Badger Women’s Golf Invitational, the Lady Tigers

never fi nished lower than fi fth the rest of the fall. A win at the Wildcat Fall Invitational followed by back-to-back runner-up fi nishes at the Lady Pala-din and Lady Jaguar Invitationals gave Memphis three consecutive top three fi nishes. The Lady Ti-gers climbed as high as No. 38 in the nation in the Golfstat fall polls and Stacey Tate was named one of GolfWorld Magazine’s Top 50 Female Players to Watch. The Lady Tigers capped off a success-ful spring by winning the conference champion-ship earning a trip to the NCAA West Regional in Utah. Senior Stacey Tate fi nished second at the conference tournament and was named fi rst-team all-conference. Junior Dawn-Marie Conaty and Rachel Larson were named third-team all-confer-ence.

• After consecutive 11th place fi nishes to begin the 2007-2008 campaign, the Lady Tigers placed 5th at the Johnie Imes Invitational led by freshman Alexa Porter’s eighth-place fi nish. Junior Rachel Larson fi nished 12th at the Pat Bradley Champi-onship and Porter placed 15th. Larson earned her second-consecutive All-Conference USA Third Team honor and Porter was named to the C-USA All-Tournament team after tying for second in the C-USA Championship.

• Under fi rst year head coach Beth Harrelson, the Lady Tigers entered the 2008-09 campaign with three newcomers and only fi ve players on the roster. The young group continued to improve throughout the fall, closing out the fall with two consecutive top-10 fi nishes at the Lady Red Wolves Classic and the Ross Resort Invitational. Senior Rachel Larson and freshman Marissa Steen both notched two top-20 fi nishes in each of those events, including a fourth place showing by Steen at the Lady Red Wolf Classic. In the Spring, the team competed in four events, posting two top-10 fi nishes, including an eighth place fi nish at the Conference USA Championship.

• After struggling to a 14th place fi nish at the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational, the Lady Tigers rebounded with four consecutive top-10 fi nishes to close out the fall. Led by Leslie Grabeman’s performance that would garner C-USA Golfer of the Week accolades, Memphis fi nished T3 in the Lady Red Wolf Classic. In the next week, the Lady Tigers posted their second consecutive third place fi nish after being led by rounds of 76-74 from freshman Alex Aläng. In the fi nal event of the sea-son, Sarah Mathews posted rounds of 74-73 to tie for second individually and lead Memphis to a title at the UAB Fall Beach Blast. The victory was the fi rst under second year head coach Beth Harrel-son and the fi rst for the program since the 2007 Conference USA Championship.

m Club Hall of Fame

During the short 29-year history of the University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf program, there have been numerous outstanding players and several have been inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame. Kathy Vendetti, who played from 1980 through 1983, was the fi rst Lady Tiger golfer to be installed in the Hall of Fame. Vendetti was inducted during ceremonies in 1994.

The latest inductee into the Hall of Fame was Kim Hunt-McNeil, who was a member of the Hall of Fame class of 2001. Hunt-McNeil, who is married to former Tiger golfer Sam McNeil, played for the Lady Tigers from 1993 through 1997. She was an All-Conference USA selection in 1996 and won the Conference USA medalist title in 1997. Hunt-McNeil also helped the Lady Tigers to the team championship in ‘97.

C-USA is home to 12 nationally promi-nent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, South-ern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combinat ion en-hances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. To-gether, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. All C-USA institutions sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs, many of which com-pete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 19 sports — nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross coun-try, golf, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indica-tive of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate schol-arships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Ser-vice Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant com-munity service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.

Success On The Playing Field Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

C-USA has sent three men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, five softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the Sweet 16. The league has also had six national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competi-tors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 500 NCAA appearances.

Success Off The Field C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-ath-letes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are cham-pions off the playing field as well. In 14 years, 130 student-athletes earned national ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, while 461 were named All-District. In addition, more than 17,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USa On TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through its partnerships with ESPN Inc., and CBS College Sports Television Networks. The league entered into long-term agreements with both ESPN and CBS College Sports, which, combined, provides C-USA with significant national and re-gional exposure for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. Ad-ditionally, the CBS College Sports agreement includes video-on-demand, Internet, broadband, national over-the-air and satellite radio, and wire-less distribution as well as corporate marketing rights, and website production through CBS Interactive. The agreement with ESPN extends the conference’s current regular season football package to include the broadcast of the confer-

ence’s Football Championship Game. It also encompasses distribution of men’s basketball and women’s basketball on ESPN/ESPN2 and both tournament championship games.

C-USa In The Community The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations.

Governance Along with the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, Conference USA is one of the seven conferences having significant repre-sentation in the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. R. Gerald Turner of SMU currently serves as chair of the Board.

a Proud History; a Promising Future Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top confer-ences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Char-lotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Hous-ton joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first com-missioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, C-USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together to form the new look of the league. Since its formation, C-USA has established a strong foundation, an identity and a history that reflects the league’s national presence. Fourteen years of remarkable history has reinforced the league’s position in collegiate athletics, setting the course for the next decade and beyond.

P


C. Johnson came aboard in February of

1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U

of M Tiger athletics into national prominence.

Over the last 13 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last six years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2009, a record-setting $7 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last six years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 14 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed back-to-back-to-back league championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that is currently underway, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 37 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. Last fall, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 50 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the fall 2007 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2008 and spring 2009, 335 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and 12 had a 4.0 for the year and 20 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. Nine teams logged a semester average of 3.0 or higher for the 2007 fall semester, and for the last four straight semesters, the athletic department as a whole has maintained a 2.8 GPA . In May 2008, 44 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record. Johnson came to Memphis after serving as athletic director at Temple from 1994-1995. A long-time administrator, Johnson also served as an athletic director at Miami University (1988-1994) and Eastern Illinois (1980-88), and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. An native of Ottawa, Ill., Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

n March 2002, vast improvements were

beginning to take place in the CAAS. At that time,

Dr. Joe Luckey took over the staff after spending the previous

10 years at Austin Peay State University. Dr. Luckey, who was nationally recognized for his outstanding leadership in 1999, came to Memphis with a vision. In just one short year, Dr. Luckey recruited six new staff members, instituted new academic programs, designed and inspired two (which is now four) special sections of ACAD 1100 for student-athletes and transitioned the office from the basement of the Elma Roane Fieldhouse to the newly-renovated Wilder Tower. Dr. Luckey heads a full-time staff of eight, while also utilizing 20 tutors, two academic interns, graduate assistants and student workers. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. Further detail about the services and programs offered by CAAS are found on the website, http://www.memphis.edu/caas/index.php. Dr. Luckey has continued to challenge the Center’s staff, the coaching staffs and the student-athletes to collaboratively enhance the academic performance of U of M student-athletes. As the following highlights indicate, the group effort has resulted in positive results for the university. During the last seven academic years, 14 teams have posted their highest-ever semester GPAs, a record number of student-athletes made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Tiger 3.0 Club, the department semester GPA record has been set, and several individual student-athletes have been recognized for prestigious national academic awards, such as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Academic All-America. Ultimately, the goal of every student-athlete is to graduate. CAAS has continued to set records here as well as 44 student-athletes graduated in May, 2009, encompassing the largest-ever graduation group for the athletics department. The CAAS received a new home during the summer of 2003 with the completion of the Wilder Tower. The Wilder Tower also houses admissions, the bursar, financial aid, the registrar, student development and academic advising. A total of 8,000 square feet, encompassing the entire sixth and seventh floors of the tower, have been designated for the CAAS. The area supports 23 student computer stations, 17 offices and numerous study tables. Four academic awards are sponsored by the CAAS as a means of honoring the top student-athletes. The Tiger 3.0 Club recognizes student-athletes who earned grade-point averages of 3.0 during the fall/spring semesters, while the Tiger Academic Thirty is dedicated to the 30 student-athletes with the best grade-point average on each team and then the next best group of student-athletes, totaling 30. The final honor, the TEAM GPA Award, is presented to the male and female team with the best grade point average for the semester. The fourth and newest award, CAAS Academic Achievement Award, is presented to the student-athlete(s) who has overcome personal hardship but has still worked hard in the classroom.


I

hen the University of Memphis first fielded a

football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a

nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year. Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against the UCF.


W

onsidered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace

of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run

deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as

the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team.
