Web: Eagles Vision TV

The American University women’s basketball team will welcome High Point to Bender Arena on Sunday, December 6 at 2 p.m.

American (3-4) will be looking to snap its two-game losing streak. Last time out on Wednesday evening, the Eagles fell 50-40 at defending CAA champion Drexel in Philadelphia, Pa. It was a closely-contested game throughout, although with the game knotted at 40 with four minutes to play, Drexel pulled away with 10 consecutive made free throws down the stretch. Both defenses played strong throughout, as neither squad shot above 33 percent from the fl oor in the game.

For the sixth time in AU’s seven games this season, junior Michelle Kirk led the Eagles in scoring in the game versus Drexel, although her 13 points were well below her Patriot League-leading average of 20.1 ppg this season. The 2009 Preseason All-Patriot League selection has scored at least 19 points in fi ve of AU’s seven games this season while shooting an impressive 47.5 percent from the fi eld and 40 percent from three-point range. She is also averaging 6.0 rebounds per game, good for second on the team and 10th in the conference. Last week, Kirk was named the Patriot League Player of the Week for her performances against NJIT and Wagner.

High Point (2-4) comes into Sunday’s contest on a three-game losing streak after dropping road games at Wake Forest, South Carolina and George Mason. The Panthers squared off at George Mason on Friday evening in Fairfax, Va., and were defeated by a score of 76-57. Junior LaTeisha Dean led HPU with 20 points, which matched her career-high. For the season, Shamia Brown averages a team-high 10.8 points per game, while Dean chips in 9.8 ppg.

Following Sunday’s game, the Eagles will have a 10-day break for fi nal exams before hosting Morgan State on Wednesday, December 16 and Maryland on Sunday, December 20.

Eagles Record in 2009-10 When...



Game 1 - Nov. 13, 2009 American 71, Howard 59Burr Gymnasium • Washington, D.C.

Michelle Kirk scored a game-high 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the fi eld to lead the American University women’s basketball team to a 71-59 victory at Howard on Friday night in both teams’ 2009-10 season-opener. American (1-0) got off to a slow start, falling behind 15-10 in the game’s fi rst seven-plus minutes in a contest that was played at Howard’s Burr Gymnasium in Washington, D.C. A Liz Leer three-point play spurred an 8-0 Eagles’ run, which gave them an 18-15 lead with 11 minutes to play in the opening half. American proceeded to open up a seven-point advantage late in the half, but a 9-0 Bison run late in the fi rst stanza helped give Howard (0-1) a 34-33 lead heading into halftime. The Eagles began to take control of the game in the second half, as a Kirk layup less than two minutes in gave AU a 37-36 lead. The Eagles would not trail in the rest of the contest, as AU proceeded to go on a 7-1 run, capped by a Nicole Ryan three-pointer, to take a 48-39 lead with less than 15 minutes to play. Howard tried to get back in the game throughout the remain-der of the second half, but was unable to get within fi ve points of AU. A mini 5-0 spurt by American on a Lisa Strack three-pointer and Raven Harris bucket gave the Eagles a 58-48 lead with7:07 to play. The Eagles put the fi nal stamp on their victory with an 11-0 run over a three-minute span to open up a 19-point (71-52) advantage with just over two minutes to play. Howard would score the fi nal seven points of the game to close the fi nal margin to 12, 71-59. Kirk, a junior forward, led the way for American with 25 points, only two points shy of her career-high, which she set last January versus Navy. The Preseason All-Patriot League selection also chipped in seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes of action. Leer added 18 points for AU on 8-of-13 shooting and recorded game-highs with eight rebounds and four assists. Leer’s 18 points and four helpers both matched career-highs. She has now reached the 18-point mark in six different games throughout her career. Additionally, the junior forward converted her fi rst-career three-point fi eld goal in the victory over Howard. For the game, the Eagles shot 46.8 per-cent from the fi eld compared to only 32.8 percent for Howard. American was six-of-15 from three-point range (40 percent), and held the Bison to two-of-14 from deep (14.2 percent). “It was a good team effort tonight,” remarked American University Head Coach Matt Corkery. “We made some adjustments at the half that were good for us. We did a better job on the boards as well. We were pleased with our offensive execution in the second half.”

Game 2 - Nov. 16, 2009 Princeton 77, American 45Jadwin Gym • Princeton, N.J.

The American University women’s basketball played at Princeton on Monday night at Jadwin Gym in Princeton, N.J., and was defeated by a score of 77-45. It began well for the Eagles, as senior Nicole Ryan knocked down back-to-back three pointers in the fi rst three minutes of play to give American (1-1) an early 6-0 lead. Princeton (2-0), however, stormed right back with 18 straight points over the next eight minutes to take a 18-6 advantage before a Michelle Kirk three-point fi eld goal broke the scoreless drought for the Eagles. The Tigers continued to have their way on the of-fensive end throughout the remainder of the fi rst half, opening up a 19-point advantage, 30-11, with 3:20 to play on a Addie Micir three-pointer. American began to get its rhythm toward the end of the opening stanza on back-to-back buckets by junior Liz Leer to cut the Princeton lead to 32-15. The Tigers ended up taking a 17-point lead, 34-17, into the halftime intermission after shoot-ing 42.9 percent from the fl oor (15-35) compared to only 27.3 percent (6-22) for the Eagles. The second half played out in a similar fashion to the fi rst 20 minutes, as the Eagles got off to a good start on back-to-back early buckets by Leer and sophomore Lisa Strack to trim the Princeton lead to 15. But the Tigers proceeded to rattle off 16 unanswered points to take a commanding 55-24 advantage with 14 minutes left in the contest. The teams would play even basketball over the fi nal several minutes, as Princeton cruised to a 77-45 home victory. In the game, Princeton shot 50.8 percent from the fl oor (31-61), including an impressive 52.6 (10-19) percent from three-point range. The Eagles fi nished the game at 40 per-cent overall (18-45), and were seven-of-12 from beyond-the-arc. The combination of Micir and Niveen Rasheed fi nished with 20 and 18 points for Princeton, respectively. The duo combined to shoot 15-for-25 from the fl oor and grabbed 10 total rebounds. American was led by Ryan, who scored 16 points on six-of-11 shooting, including four-of-six from behind the arc. Her four triples gives her 149 in her career, moving her second in AU history. Kari Gaskins, who played at AU from 1995-99, was previously second all-time in made three-pointers with 147.

The Bears opened up a six-point lead, 32-26, late in the fi rst half before the Eagles scored three points in the fi nal two seconds on a Lisa Strack free throw and a Leer rebound, put-back as time expired. Brown took a 32-29 lead into halftime and extended it to fi ve on a Courtney Lee jumper a minute into the second half. The rest of the contest turned into a game of runs, as the Eagles initially rolled off fi ve straight points - on a Kirk free throw, a beautiful dish from Strack to Leer for a close-range bucket and an Ebony Edwards steal and coast-to-coast layup - to knot the score at 34 with 17:03 to play. The Bears quickly responded, running off seven unanswered points over the next two-plus minutes to take a seven-point advantage, 41-34. Facing their largest defi cit of the game, the Eagles showed toughness and found their rhythm on both ends of the fl oor, rolling off 17 consecu-tive points over an eight-and-a-half minute span to take a 51-41 lead with 5:59 to go. American knocked down three three-pointers during the spurt, two by Kirk and one by Ash-ley Yencho. Ohemaa Nyanin scored initial bucket to get the run started on a rebound and follow-up layup. Brown would scrap its way back into the contest, cutting the AU lead to four with 2:08 to play before a pair of Kirk free throws and a back-breaking three-point play by Leer at the 1:12 mark gave the Eagles a 58-49 advantage. Kirk would convert four more free throws in the fi nal minute, and AU came away with a 64-54 road victory. The Eagles shot 37.5 percent from the fl oor (21-56) in the contest, although they held Brown to only 33.3 percent (20-60). Additionally, American took good care of the basketball with only 12 turnovers. Kirk, a Preseason All-Patriot League selection, led the Eagles with 27 points, which matches her career-high that she set last January ver-sus Navy. She was six-of-14 from the fi eld, and converted career-best 11 made free throws in 14 attempts. She also added seven rebounds and a career-high two blocked shots. Leer, a junior forward, had her way in the paint all afternoon, scoring 19 points on eight-of-15 shooting. She also recorded nine rebounds and had three blocks. While Ryan struggled shooting the ball with only two points, she made an impact on the game in other ways. From the guard position, she notched a career-best 10 rebounds and picked up two steals. “I thought we showed a lot of character and resiliency in coming back from a defi cit in the second half,” remarked American University Head Coach Matt Corkery. “We kept our turnovers down and were able to get some stops. It was the way we wanted to end our three-game road swing.”

Game 4 - Nov. 22, 2009 ECU 70, American 65Bender Arena • Washington, D.C.Despite shooting 15-of-16 from the free throw line in the game, the American University women’s basket-ball team fell 70-65 to East Carolina in AU’s home opener at Bender Arena. Junior Michelle Kirk led the Eagles with 19 points, 15 of which she scored in the second half. After East Carolina (4-0) jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead in the fi rst four-plus minutes, American (2-2) fi red back with six unanswered points to take an 8-6 advantage with 13:32 to play in the fi rst half. The next several minutes would go back-and-forth with ju-nior Liz Leer knocked down a jumper to tie the score at 17 at the 7:23 mark. The Pirates, however, pro-ceeded to go on an 11-2 run to open up a 28-19 lead with 5:07 to play, and took a 32-25 lead into halftime. The Eagles got off to a strong start in the second half on the shoulders of Kirk, who scored seven points in the fi rst four minutes to help cut the defi cit to two, 38-36. East Carolina kept a steady lead between four and six points for the next six-plus minutes until two Ebony Edwards free throws cut the ECU advantage back to two, 46-44, with 10:56 to play. With a high number of personal fouls committed early in the second half, both teams were in the bonus midway through the second half. AU proceeded to knock down four consecutive free throws, two each by Nicole Ryan and Kirk, to knot the score at 48. After a made free throw by East Car-olina’s Ashley Clarke, Kirk converted two more from the foul line to give the Eagles a 50-49 lead, their fi rst advantage since leading 8-6 in the fi rst half. The two squads would exchange blows over the next few min-utes before two Ohemaa Nyanin free throws knotted the score at 54 with under seven minutes to play. The Pirates, however, responded with the next fi ve points to take a 59-54 lead before an Edwards rebound, put-back, followed by a Leer backdoor layup, cut the East Carolina advantage to one, 59-58, with four minutes to play. The game would continue to remain tight down the stretch, as consecutive jumpers by AU’s Leer and a runner in the lane by Raven Harris, would knot the score at 65 with one minute left in the ballgame. The fi nal minute, however, belonged to the Pirates. A Kelly Smith fl oater from close range gave East Carolina a 67-65 lead with 35 seconds to play, and then a steal and coast-to-coast layup by ECU’s Crystal Wilson with 14 seconds left put the game out of reach for AU. The Pirates would tack on a late free throw in the fi nal fi ve seconds to come away with a 70-65 road victory over American. In the game, American shot 93.8 percent (15-16) from the free-throw line, the sixth-best single-game team free throw percentage in program history. Kirk led the Eagles with a perfect six-of-six mark from the charity stripe. The other fi nal statistics were similar across the board for both squads. East Carolina held a slight 49 percent to 46 percent advantage in fi eld goal percentage, and committed two fewer turnovers (18) to American’s 20. Both teams struggled from three-point range, as AU was 2-11, while East Carolina shot 2-10 from deep. For the third game this season, Kirk led the Eagles in scoring with 19 points. She also chipped in six rebounds. Leer and Ryan recorded double-digit scoring outputs for the Eagles with 14 and 11 points, respectively. Leer was seven-of-nine from the fl oor. The senior Nyanin also recorded career-highs with eight points and nine rebounds for AU.

Game 5 - Nov. 24, 2009 American 65, NJIT 57Bender Arena • Washington, D.C.On the strength of 24 points by junior Michelle Kirk and a career-game by sophomore Lisa Strack, the American University prevailed 65-57 over the New Jersey Institute of Technology in a hard-fought con-test on Tuesday night at Bender Arena. The game was evenly-contested for the majority of the fi rst half, as the margin was within four points until the 1:45 mark. NJIT (2-3) opened up a four-point lead, 12-8, with 10:17 to play in the fi rst half on a Rayven John-son jumper, although the Highlanders’ advantage was short-lived. With American (3-2) trailing 18-15, senior Nicole Ryan’s three-pointer sparked a 10-0 Eagles’ run over a two-plus minute span to give AU a 25-18 lead with just over a minute to play in the opening stanza. American would take a 25-20 lead into intermission in a fi rst half that saw eight different Eagles score at least two points. The Eagles would continue the strong play in the second half, scoring the fi rst fi ve points on a Liz Leer jumper and Strack three-point play to take a 30-20 lead. American would eventually increase the margin to 12, 40-28, with 13:41 left on another bucket by Strack. But the re-silient Highlanders would not go away, as they ran off nine-unanswered points to cut the margin to three, 40-37, at the midway point of the second half before a key Ohemaa Nyanin basket pushed the AU lead back to fi ve. The squads would play even until a 5-0 spurt by NJIT trimmed the American advantage to one, 50-49, with 4:19 to go. Facing a strong second-half push by NJIT, the Eagles turned to their Preseason All-Patriot League player, Kirk, down the stretch. She proceeded to run off seven straight points, including a key three-pointer, to give AU a 59-51 advantage, breaking the hearts of the hard-charging Highlanders. The Eagles also turned up the defensive intensity dur-ing the stretch, forcing fi ve NJIT turnovers in the fi nal four minutes. The Eagles would visit the free throw line frequently in the fi nal minute, and were able to hang on for a 65-57 victory. For the fourth game this season, Kirk led American in scoring with 24 points on an effi cient eight-of-14 shooting from the fl oor. She also recorded seven rebounds, which tied her for the game-high with teammates Strack and Leer. Strack’s seven boards, as well as her 11 points, both set career-highs. Leer was in double-fi gures for the fourth game this season with 10 points, and recorded a season-high four blocked shots.NJIT had four play-ers in double fi gures, led by Kehinde Oyelola’s 13 points and 12 from Ivana Seric. Jessica Gerald and Johnson contributed 11 and 10 points, respectively. The Eagles shot a season-high 52.2 percent from the fl oor, including a red-hot 60 percent (15-25) in the second half. AU was six-of-13 from three-point range (46.2 percent) in the contest. The Highlanders shot 40 percent from the fl oor and had a 33.3 percent mark from beyond-the-arc.

Game 6 - Nov. 28, 2009 Wagner 73, American 72Spiro Sports Center • Staten Island, N.Y.A three-pointer by Wagner’s Stephanie McBride with under 30 seconds remaining gave the Seahawks a hard-fought 73-72 victory over the American University women’s basketball team on Saturday afternoon in Staten Island, N.Y. AU junior Michelle Kirk led the Eagles with a game-high 25 points in the defeat. Both teams got off to slow starts on the offensive ends, although American (3-3) was the first to find its range thanks to Nicole Ryan. The senior scored eight early points, includ-ing two three-pointers, to give the Eagles a 15-4 lead midway through the first half. Wagner (2-3) quickly found its rhythm over the next two minutes, rolling off seven unanswered points to cut the AU lead to four, 15-11. The Eagles, however, would regain a nine-point advantage, 22-13, on an Ohemaa Nyanin layup with 7:11 left in the opening stanza. The Seahawks con-trolled the action for the remainder of the opening half. Wagner went on a 10-2 run to cut the AU lead to one, 24-23, with just over five minutes remaining. Back-to-back three pointers by Wagner’s McBride gave the Seahawks their first lead of the game, 34-31, with 2:32 to play. Wagner eventually stretched its lead to eight, 39-31, before the Eagles responded with the last four points of the half on buckets by Nyanin and Lisa Strack, to cut the halftime deficit to a 39-35 margin. AU continued the strong play opening up the second half, scoring the first four points on baskets by Ryan and Kirk to tie the game at 39. But Wagner responded with the next five to take a 44-39 lead be-fore back-to-back buckets by Kirk to cut the margin to one, 46-45. Kirk would continue to have the hot hand for the Eagles, as the teams played even before a pair of Ryan free throws tied the score at 56 with exactly 10 minutes to play. Wagner, how-ever, would rattle off seven unanswered points to take a 63-56 advantage. The Eagles responded, eventually fighting back to tie the game at 66 with 3:14 to play on a Liz Leer bucket from close-range. The game would go back-and-forth throughout the remainder of the second half, although the Eagles never led until a pair of Strack free throws gave AU a 72-70 lead with 52.9 seconds to play. Facing a one-point deficit, Wagner came down the floor, where McBride knocked down a clutch three-pointer from the corner to give the Seahawks a 73-72 lead with 28 seconds left in the contest. After a pair of timeouts, the Ea-gles had a game-winning opportunity, as Kirk penetrated and kicked it out to a wide-open Strack in the corner, who rimmed out a three-pointer in the final seconds. Both teams scrambled for the rebound, but time ran out before the Eagles could get another shot on target. Kirk led American with a game-high 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the floor. She was a per-fect three-of-three from three-point range. Ryan chipped in 14 points, including six-of-seven from the free throw line, and dished out four assists. Leer and Strack were in double-figures with 10 points each as well for the Eagles. Leer also collected a game-high eight rebounds. McBride paced Wagner with 18 points, including the game-winning bucket. She was seven-of-11 from the field, including four-of-five from deep. In the game, Wagner shot 50 percent from the floor compared to 43 percent for the Eagles. Both teams were hot from three-point range, as the Seahawks shot 57 percent (8-14) while AU was 5-11 from long-range (46 percent).

Game 7 - Dec. 2, 2009 Drexel 50, American 40Daskalakis Ath. Center • Philadelphia, Pa.

With the score tied at 40 with four minutes to play, Drexel converted 10 straight free throws down the stretch to come away with a 50-40 victory over the American University women’s basketball team. The game was played Wednesday night at the Daska-lakis Athletic Center in Philadelphia, Pa. Early on, Drexel (3-2) jumped out to a 9-4 lead with all nine points being scored by Gabriela Marginean. American (3-4), however, responded with a 6-0 run over the next four minutes on Stephanie Anya and Ohemma Nyanin buckets and a pair of free throws by Michelle Kirk to take a 10-9 advantage. The teams would trade the lead over the next sev-eral minutes until a Kirk three-point play gave the Eagles an 18-15 advantage with 2:02 to play in the opening half. Ashley Yencho then knocked down a straight-away three on the following possession to give AU a 21-15 lead before a late Drexel bucket trimmed the Eagles’ halftime margin to four, 21-17. The Eagles increased their lead to six, 23-17, on a pair of Liz Leer free throws to start the second half. After a Dragons’ three, Leer knocked down a jumper from the corner to give AU a 25-20 ad-vantage. Kirk scored American’s next four points, although Drexel rallied to knot the score at 29 on a Marginean basket with 14:32 to play. After Drexel opened up a four-point lead, a heads-up steal in the frontcourt and three-point play by Ebony Edwards cut AU’s defi cit to one, 35-34. The Dragons would regain its four-point lead, 40-36, although back-to-back beautiful turnaround jumpers by Kirk tied the score at 40 at the under four-minute media timeout. Kirk’s basket at the 3:51 mark would end up being the last fi eld goal converted by either team in the game. Unfortunately for American, the Dragons would end up going a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line in the game’s fi nal three-plus minutes, and that proved to be the difference in Drexel’s 50-40 victory. Overall, in the game, the Dragons shot 17-of-18 from the free throw stripe. Marginean knocked down six of the free throws for Drexel in the fi nal few minutes, and was 11-of-12 from the line. She converted seven-of-12 fi eld goal opportu-nities, and scored a game-high 26 points. She also collected a team-high six rebounds for the Dragons. For the sixth time in seven games this season, Kirk led the Eagles on the offensive attack. She scored 13 points on fi ve-of-11 shooting from the fl oor. Leer recorded nine points and seven rebounds, while Lisa Strack grabbed a career-high eight rebounds for AU.

2008-09 Schedule and Results



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

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

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

Additionally, Corkery coached three All-Patriot League selections in 2008-09, including First Team performer Michelle Kirk and All-Rookie Team honorees Ebony Edwards and Lisa Strack. Corkery oversaw the largest women’s basketball crowd in school history when 1,177 fans attended the home game against Lehigh on February 7, 2009.

“We are pleased with the progress that Matt and his staff have made with our women’s basketball program over the last year both on and off the court,” commented Director of Athletics and Recreation Keith Gill. “He is a great teacher of the game and his passion for this team will translate into continued success for this program. We’re excited for what this season and the future will bring.”

Corkery was named to his current position on May 19, 2008 after serving as AU’s associate head coach during the 2007-08 campaign. In total, Corkery has been on the AU staff for fi ve seasons. In 2007, he was elevated from assistant coach and recruiting coordinator to associate head coach. With the promotion, Corkery assumed additional responsibilities both on and off the court.

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

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

From 1996 to 1999, as head coach at Howard College (Texas), he led the Lady Hawks to three top 10 rankings in the National Junior College Athletic Association polls and an overall record of 90-12. In 1998, Corkery was named the NJCAA Region V Coach of the Year, as his squad compiled a 34-3 record and fi nished in third-place in the NJCAA National Tournament.

Corkery earned a Bachelor’s degree in education in 1993 and a Master’s of sports and exercise sciences in 1996 from West Texas A&M University. While with the Lady Buffs, Corkery worked his way up from student assistant coach to graduate assistant and eventually earned a full-time assistant coaching position. As an assistant, Corkery mentored a Buffs squad that went 28-3, won the Lone Star Conference title and was ranked as high as No. 4 in the NCAA Division II national rankings in the 1995-96 campaign. The team’s record during Corkery’s tenure as an assistant at West Texas A&M was 120-32.

A native of Whitharral, Texas, Corkery currently resides in Washington, D.C.
