Indiana University East 2012 Men's Tennis Guide

2011-12 Men’s Tennis Guide

This is IU East

Indiana University East grew out of an extension established at Earlham College that was operated by Earlham and Indiana University. In 1967, the arrangement was expanded to include Purdue and Ball State universities and the extension became the Eastern Indiana Center of Earlham College.

In 1969, reflecting the community’s response to this opportunity to take state university courses at home, Richmond citizens formed an association known as Eastern Indiana Community College, Inc., to raise funds for the construction of a new campus. Following a successful campaign in which they raised over $1 million, members of the community col-lege organization, with the consent of the four education institutions involved in the center, requested Indiana University to establish a regional campus in Richmond to assume responsibility for the operation.

The Indiana General Assembly approved this plan, and on July 1, 1971, the East-ern Indiana Center for Earlham College became Indiana University East, the sixth campus in the Indiana University regional system. On October 3, 1972, ground was broken at the new campus site north of Richmond. The first building, an all-purpose academic facility named Whitewater Hall, was completed in late 1974 and dedicated February 23, 1975.

Ground was broken for a new library/classroom build-ing on August 8, 1990. It was dedicated as the Brice E. Hayes Hall on June 12, 1992.

The third classroom building on the IU East campus was completed in May 1995. The building, which was dedicated as Middlefork Hall on June 12, 1996, houses the fine arts program and classrooms and

laboratories for the School of Education and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. In 2009, the building was renamed Tom Raper Hall in recogni-tion of the largest gift in IU East’s history.

The fourth building, dedicated as Springwood Hall in November 1999, houses the Graf Recreation Center, University College, the Chancellor’s and Campus Life offices, as well as general and spe-cialty classrooms. Additionally, the IU East Henry County Danielson Learning Center was dedicated in May 1999 to serve the citizens of Henry County. IU

The Indiana University East tennis programs practice and play matches at Glen Miller Park in Richmond, a few miles from the IU East campus.

The Red Wolves men’s tennis team hopes to join

The Establishment during the program’s second

season.

Indiana University East men’s tennis coach Erskine

Ratchford says “establishing ourselves and methods

of winning” are the key themes to the Red Wolves’

second NAIA season, which opens March 2 with at

match at Saint Joseph’s College.

IU East managed a three-win season with an often-

shorthanded roster during the program’s inaugural

year in 2011.

The Red Wolves now how boast an 11-man roster and

matched the win total from 2011 during a short fall

season.

IU East hopes to establish something bigger and bet-

ter in 2012.

“As a young team, this season’s results will depend

on how quickly we develop as a team and as players,”

Ratchford said.

The rosterThree players established themselves during IU East’s

inaugural season. They are joined by an eight-player

recruiting class.

Redshirt sophomore Adam Derengowski (Richmond,

Ind./Richmond High School) and sophomore Justin Judd (West Milton, Ohio/Milton-Union High School)

gained valuable experience playing at the top of the

IU East lineup in 2011.

Derengowski tied for the team lead in singles wins in

the 2011 spring season. Judd tied for the team lead

in wins during the short 2011 fall season.

Redshirt sophomore Nick Frank got a full season of

college-level practices as a redshirt in 2011 and is

ready to contribute in 2012.

Freshman lefty Ty Butler (Wadesville, Ind./North

Posey High School) played at the top of the lineup

during the fall season.

Freshmen Derek Blank (Buchanan, Mich./Buchanan

High School) and Jake Welsh (Buchanan, Mich./Bu-

chanan High School) were teammates for a success-

ful high school program and bring their winning ways

to IU East. Both could play in the middle-to-upper

portions of the IU East lineup.

Three more freshmen were high school teammates

- Brian Luke (Connersville, Ind./Connersville High

School), Josh Lone (Connersville, Ind./Connersville

High School) and Zach Smith (Connersville, Ind./

Connersville High School). Luke and Lone were the

top two singles players for their high school team.

Smith is a doubles ace.

Fellow freshmen Zeth Ellis (Richmond, Ind./North-

eastern High School) and Johnny Gray (Elkhart, Ind./

Jimtown High School) will redshirt this season.

“All of the players are capable of hitting with and

handling power and aggressively playing the ball

around the court,” Ratchford said. “We are fairly

well-balanced in singles and doubles, but we need to

develop our consistency and shot selection to maxi-

mize our capability to win.”

The scheduleThe Red Wolves established a schedule with 17

matches in 65 days.

The schedule includes six regular season home

matches at Glen Miller Park. The home opener is

March 11 against KIAC power Indiana University

Southeast.

IU East will play home KIAC matches against Berea

College on March 25 and on April 14 and against

Asbury University on April 25.

The Red Wolves meet reigning KIAC regular season

and tournament champion Brescia University on

March 31 in Owensboro, Ky.

IU East faces first-year KIAC member Saint Louis

College of Pharmacy on the neutral courts of IU

Southeast on April 14.

The KIAC switched to a single round-robin confer-

ence schedule, freeing up several match dates for

IU East to play against new teams. The schedule

format change will allow IU East to face respected

NCAA Division III programs Wittenberg University

and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for the

first time.

IU East heads crosstown on April 12 to face Earlham

College, an NCAA Division III national tournament

team in 2011.

The KIAC championship match will take place on

IU East’s home courts. The Red Wolves will host the

six-team KIAC tournament on May 4 and 5 at Glen

Miller Park and at Richmond High School.

“We will play a variety of opponents with various

levels of play,” Ratchford said. “This will enable

us to develop our methods of play and shot devel-

opment under a wide range of match play condi-

tions.

“Our goal is to make our shots solid and have meth-

ods of play that can adjust to variations in opponents’

level of play and playing styles.”

The goalsIU East was the No. 4 pick in the six-team KIAC in a

preseason poll of the league’s coaches.

Ratchford aims higher than fourth place. He says the

Red Wolves can move up by establishing:

1) A solid, consistent method of play

2) A “team” and foundation for future success

3) A winning record

“Matches may be challenging as I expect we will be

on our opponents’ radar screens with them fully pre-

pared to play us,” Ratchford said. “But I am optimis-

tic we will acquire the skills, shots and match play

temperament to achieve a winning season.”

Season Preview... Season Preview, continued from Page

Erskine Ratchford, a

nationally ranked ten-

nis player who resides in

Richmond, was named

men’s and women’s ten-

nis head coach at Indi-

ana University East on

Aug. 1, 2011.

“I am excited about the

upcoming tennis season

and feel that we have a

great group of men and women players who look to

be competitive this year. It is a privilege to have the

opportunity to work with and lead these men and

women in the upcoming matches,” Ratchford said.

“I will do my best to properly represent, instruct,

direct and develop a winning program that is reflec-

tive of the successful traditions of the other sports

programs at IU East.”

Ratchford has ranked in the top 100 in the nation

and the top 10 in the Midwest in his age group.

He served as a volunteer coach for IU East during

the 2010-11 season. He led the IU East women’s

tennis program to a 12-win improvement during the

2011 fall season, the biggest turnaround in the state

among programs that play their main season in the

fall.

“The only thing that could make this news better is if

we could also let Erskine play in our lineup, because

he is that good of a player” said IU East assistant

athletic director Kyle Wright.

“He developed a strong rapport with our players last

season and is the perfect person to push our teams

to a level of contending for conference champion-

ships and national tournament appearances on a

regular basis.”

Ratchford is a North Carolina State University alum-

ni. He previously was Director of Engineering for

Marvel Industries in Richmond.

“IU East and east central Indiana can be a hotbed

for tennis because of its location between several

strong tennis communities,” Ratchford said, noting

IU East’s proximity to cities like Dayton, Indianapolis

and Cincinnati.

“Players who come to IU East have a great opportu-

nity to take advantage of the resources that are avail-

able to tennis players in this area.”
