Berrington has been a permanent fix-ture in the consistent success of the EMU volleyball program. In fact, Berrington is the third-longest tenured head coach at the university.

The seventh coach in the program’s his-tory, Berrington became its winningest coach on Sept. 20, 2003, as the Eagles posted a victory over East Carolina in the Coastal Carolina Tournament. The victory was Berrington’s 110th win at the helm of the EMU program. During her tenure as head coach, Berrington has posted an overall record of 269-260 and a 132-151 mark in conference play.

In 13 of the last 14 seasons, she has led the Eagles to the MAC Tournament, with the 1999 campaign marking the first time the squad has played in the postseason event since the 1990 season. Her teams have also led the MAC in digs in nine of the last 15 seasons, including ranking nationally in seven of those campaigns.

Despite struggles during the conference schedule in 2013, Berrington coached her team to finishing with a weekend sweep to end the regular season, earning her squad a spot in the 2013 MAC Volleyball

Tournament. The Eagles did not stop their streak at two, and won four-straight after knocking off Toledo and Western Michigan in the first two matches of the tournament, earning a spot in the cham-pionship match for the first time since the 1990 season. EMU eventually fell to the top-seeded Bobcats from Ohio.

In 2012, Berrington saw one of the most decorated players to ever take the court at Eastern graduate and sign a contract to play overseas. Rachel Iaquaniello set EMU career records for kills and attack attempts, while being the second Eagle to be named to the All-MAC First Team in three consecutive seasons. Under the tutelage of Berrington, Iaquaniello was able to sign a professional contract with Linz-Steg, a team which competes out of Austria.

In 2010, Berrington guided EMU to the largest turnaround in school history, a 19-game improvement from five wins in 2009 to 24 victories in 2010. The previous standard of a 12-game turnaround came during the 1990 campaign, when the Eagles went from 18 victories to 30 wins, and again in 2001, when EMU went from seven wins to 19.

The Eagles relied heavily on under-classmen for the d r a m a t i c t u r n -around, with fresh-men and sopho-mores accounting for 75.6 percent o f t h e s q u a d ’s kills, 60.3 percent of its blocks and 71.2 percent of its points in 2010.

her 200th EMU victory with a 3-0 victory over the University at Buffalo, Oct. 25, and the 300th win of her distinguished career with a sweep of the University of Toledo, Sept. 26, 2008. She currently holds sole possession of fifth place in the MAC record books for the most victories at a league institution, trailing Bowling Green State University’s Denise Van De Walle who holds the league record for most wins with 527 during her 28 years coaching the Falcons.

In the classroom, Berrington’s squads perennially have one of the top team cu-mulative grade point averages in the con-ference and have earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Academic Award on 12 separate occa-sions, which ranks fifth most nationally. This past semester the volleyball team earned one of the top GPA’s among EMU squads with a 3.572.

In 2007, the Green and White wrapped up the campaign with a 20-14 overall re-cord and an 8-8 mark in conference play. The record was a seven-game improve-

ment over the team’s 2006 mark when EMU finished at 13-17. Also, with a MAC Tournament Quarterfinal upset victory over No. 2 Western Michigan, the Eagles reached the 20-win plateau for the ninth time in the program’s history.

In 2005, Berrington guided the Eagles to a 22-7 overall record and a 14-2 Mid-American Conference mark en route to the program’s first-ever MAC West Division Championship. The Green and White’s 14 league wins were the most in program history. Leading the West Division from wire-to-wire in the regular season, Eastern Michigan was the second most dominant team in the MAC, winning 13 out of its last 15 matches to end the season.

Prior to taking over the role as head coach, Berrington served as an assistant coach at EMU from 1987-92. She was also the head women’s volleyball coach at Concordia (Mich.) College for four sea-sons, from 1992-96.

In four years as the head coach at Con-cordia, Berrington turned the women’s volleyball team into a national power. During those years, she built up a 103-76 overall record. Her 1995 team earned the school’s first national ranking and was the runner-up in the NCCAA National Champi-

onship Tournament in the school’s first-ever appearance. She also served as Concordia’s sports information direc-tor. Berrington was named Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Coach of the Year the last three years, after leading her team to the conference championship her final two seasons at the helm.

Berrington now has a career coach-ing record of 370-339 in 22 seasons.

Berrington is a 1985 graduate of the University of South Carol ina, where she earned a bachelor of arts

degree from the College of Journalism. While at South Carolina, Berrington won four varsity volley-ball letters and was one of 11 players awarded the Metro Conference Medal-lion for excellence in athletics and academics.

She earned her master’s of science in physical educa-tion from EMU in 1992. A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., and a graduate of Nor-win Senior High School in North Huntingdon, Pa., she earned three letters and helped the team win three state titles.

As the assistant women’s volley-ball coach at EMU from 1987-92, Ber-rington helped the

team to a 91-53 record. Eastern was invited to its first-ever National Invita-tional Volleyball Tournament in 1990 and the team finished second in the Mid-American Conference twice and qualified for the league’s postseason tournament four times.

Berrington played beach volleyball for more than 20 years while winning open tournaments in three decades (`80s, `90s and 2000). She played on the Midwest Professional Volleyball Association (MPVA) tour since its inception in 1991.

Berrington and beach volleyball partner, former EMU assistant coach Sara Schaub, captured more than 20 tournament titles together playing on various tours and events including the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) qualifiers, Bud Light Tour, East End Volleyball and Extreme Volleyball Professionals (EVP). In 2008, she officially retired from profes-sional play.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Educa-tion; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral de-grees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1.

Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development.

“Education First”Mission Statement

Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Vil-lage residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate com-munity a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 work-ers.

President Susan Martin

Entering her seventh year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facilities and record-setting growth in enrollment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint. Since joining EMU she has led the institution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facilities by making $210 million in capital improvements to the campus. Eastern has been a nationally recognized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past five years, Eastern’s has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities. This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-2011, in which

Eastern was one of a handful of universities around the nation to not increase fees. Additionally, Eastern completed its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. Inspire. The Campaign for Eastern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the summer of 2012 and reached $56 million. The highly successful campaign set the tone for future efforts to benefit Eastern students. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set forth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, comprehensive fundraising

and earning the public’s trust. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of

the master of taxation program, director of international business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and executive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-88. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Information Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is a member of the board of directors of the Michigan Educational Trust as well as Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit organization that seeks to bring businesses to the Ann Arbor area. She is married to Dr. Larry Martin, professor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Vice President/Director of Athletics

Heather LykeEMU Vice President/Director of Athletic

Heather Lyke begins her second year at Eastern Michigan University, having been named EMU’s Vice President/Director of Athletics on July 1, 2013. Lyke came to Ypsilanti with more than 17 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics administration – 15 of which were at The Ohio State University. Lyke’s first year at Eastern Michigan was a successful one, as the Eagles won three Mid-American Conference team championships and 24 individual MAC titles in track and swimming. EMU also produced 64 All-MAC student-athletes to go along with 41 Academic All-MAC honorees. In the classroom, EMU student-athletes continued to showcase their success in the classroom, ending the Winter 2014 semester with a 3.145 grade point average. It marked the ninth consecutive semester that the Eagles had surpassed the 3.0 plateau as a department. Lyke also developed and installed the mantra of Eagles Unite. More than just a catchy slogan, it was a campaign of support that pervade through all of EMU 21 varsity sports. The campaign extended beyond student-athletes; it strongly encouraged the athletic department staff, fans, alumni and students to show their support as well.

The 13th athletic director in Eastern Michigan history, Lyke was selected from a pool of more than 80 candidates. She also is the first woman to hold the full-time AD position at EMU. “I am honored and excited to be named the Director of Athletics at Eastern Michigan University,” said Lyke at her hiring press conference. “This is a tremendous opportunity to become a part of a dynamic leadership team. I am eager to serve and build great relationships with President Martin and the University leadership, the faculty, our student-athletes, coaches and staff, alumni and donors, and the greater Ypsilanti and Michigan community. Eastern Michigan has a rich history of athletic success and academic achievement. I look forward to being part of the continued success of Eastern Michigan University as we help shape the next generation of leaders and achieve even greater accomplishments.” At OSU, she was a member of

the athletic department’s executive team and was responsible for the assessment, design and development of the department’s strategic plan. She directly oversaw 10 of OSU’s 36 athletic programs and managed/supervised 31 full-time coaches and staff. She also had oversight over all facets of the athletic councils involving budget oversight, revenue generation and facilities as well as the golf course operations. Additionally, she supervised the sport performance division of

the department, which includes the strength and conditioning coaches, athletic training staff and sports medicine staff. In 2013, she developed the first ever student-athlete internship program within the Department of Athletics. On a national level, Lyke has been active within the NCAA and Big Ten Conference committee structure as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee and Big Ten Sports Management Committee and previously served on the NCAA Softball Rules Committee and the NCAA Amateurism Committee. Her previous roles at OSU included associate athletic director for sport administration (2002-12) and associate athletic director for sport administration, compliance and camp operations (1998-02). Prior to Ohio State, Lyke was at the University of Cincinnati for two years, serving as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator. Lyke began her athletics administrative career at the NCAA national office as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department. Lyke also has worked for the Big Ten Network as a color analyst for softball games. Lyke grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan on a softball scholarship. While at U-M, she was a four-year letter winner as a first baseman, two-time team captain, Big Ten champion and Academic All-Big Ten honoree as a member of its softball team. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Education from University of Michigan and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron School of Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1995. Lyke and her husband, David Catalano, have three children, Elle, Sophie and Eli.

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 15th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and up-grade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedi-cation game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Champi-onships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for seven first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games and four first-round game for the men’s basket-ball squad. The building also played the host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athlet-ics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smash-mouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Match-box Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement cer-emonies. Among other events that have taken

place include numerous youth sporting competi-tions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU foot-ball, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Cen-ter staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 mil-lion. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

NCAA ComplianceFIVE RULES TO REMEMBER

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program.

2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective student-athlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off -campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.

The best way to support EMU student-athletes is by donating to Eagles Pride!

3. LEAVE THE RECRUITING TO US! You’re passionate about your EMU Athletics programs and you want everyone to know it! But remember, only EMU coaches and athletic department staff members are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters should be aware of the following: • Do not contact a prospective student- athlete (or members of the prospect’s family) by letter, telephone, e-mail, text, online (Facebook, Twitter), or in-person (on- or off-campus) for the purpose of soliciting their participation in EMU’s athletic programs. • Do not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect; • Do not become involved in making arrangements for a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) to receive money or financial aid of any kind;

• Do not visit a prospect’s school to acquire films or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility; • Do not have contact with a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) during any of their visits to EMU’s campus; • Do not contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.

Please note, a prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for Basketball). Students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent. If you know of a talented athlete, please let the coaching staff know, and we’ll do the rest!

4. KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES! EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster recruits or provides impermissible benefits to a current or prospective student-athlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends), EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of the intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster membership, ticket privileges).

5. ASK BEFORE YOU ACT! The NCAA Rules are not limited to the above, and they are often misunderstood. If you have any doubt or questions, please contact the Office of Athletic Compliance. We strongly encourage open communication between fans, supporters, and the EMU Athletic Department. Remember, our success is due to support from individuals who are cautious and knowledgeable of NCAA rules. Help us win with integrity!

WHAT IS NCAA COMPLIANCE? Eastern Michigan University is committed to operating its intercollegiate athletics program with the highest degree of integrity, sportsmanship, and professionalism, and we urge you to conduct yourself accordingly. The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. Our goal is to educate student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members, and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference, and institutional rules. A successful athletic department depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes, and boosters to be aware of NCAA, MAC, and institutional rules. All of us at Eastern Michigan University appreciate your support. Your commitment to rules compliance is necessary to ensure that the University, its student-athletes, and coaches remain in good standing. Our success is due to support from individuals who are cautious and knowledgeable of NCAA rules. Help us win with integrity!

QUESTIONS?The information on this page contains only a small portion of the existing NCAA rules and regulations. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC, or institutional rules, please ASK BEFORE YOU ACT!

Student-Athlete Support

Student-Athlete Support Services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an aca-demic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective pre-ventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifi-cally and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse col-lection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execu-tion before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental tough-ness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vo-cal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Native American logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets

1990 WIVC Appearance • 2005 Mid-American Conference West Division Champion

The Mid-American ConferenceProviding leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 69th year of service to the student-ath-lete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggres-sive Division I conferences in the country. One of only ten football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by ex-panding to six its number of neutral site post season events – foot-ball (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was recently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wres-tling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under his direc-tion. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invita-tions: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (Go-Daddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch fin-ished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremo-ny – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS confer-ences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basket-ball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament since 2004.

The MAC had five programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan advanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buffalo senior for-ward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press All-American Hon-orable Mention. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecu-tive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aod-han Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affiliate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 over-all West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate members over the last two seasons. Mis-souri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second con-secutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship. A MAC record 43 wrestlers competed at the NCAA Wrestling Championships and the MAC witnessed nine wrestlers named All-American – Joe Roth, Central Michigan (7th place at 133); Ian Miller, Kent State (4th place at 141); J’Den Cox, Missouri (1st place at 197); Drake Houdashelt, Missouri (5th place at 149); Dylan Peters, Northern Iowa (6th place at 125); Joe Colon, Northern Iowa (3rd place at 133); Joey Lazor, Northern Iowa (6th place at 141); Jeremy Johnson, Ohio (7th place at 285) and Jack Dechow, Old Dominion (4th place at 184). In men’s cross country, Eastern Michigan claimed its 18th confer-ence championship, while Missouri State won its first ever swim-ming & diving championship as an affiliate member. In men’s ten-nis, Ball State won its second MAC title in four years. Akron won its third MAC indoor track and field title in the last four years. Akron sophomore Shawn Barber became the school’s first male individual national champion by winning the pole vault. In men’s outdoor track and field, Eastern Michigan won its 22nd conference title in program history and junior Donald Scott gar-nered First Team All-American honors in the triple jump after taking sixth in the nation. Kent State’s Matthias Tayala became the second MAC track and field student-athlete crowned a national champion this year in the hammer throw during the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The 2014 track and field season was a historic one for the MAC with three national champions across men’s and women’s athlet-ics. Akron’s Shawn Barber was the 2014 NCAA indoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 5.75m, Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m, while Kent State’s Matthias Tayala was the 2014 NCAA out-door track and field hammer throw champion with a distance of 73.57m. Kent State won the program’s sixth consecutive and 20th overall conference title in men’s golf and received its 27th NCAA appear-ance. Kent State senior Taylor Pendrith became just the second player in program history to represent Kent State in the NCAA fi-nals in each of his four seasons, including this year at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. Kent State won its 11th MAC baseball tournament as the No. 3 seed and has won either the regular season or tournament title in 14 of the last 15 seasons. Earlier this summer the MAC witnessed 15 student-athletes selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft led by Central Michigan starting pitcher Jordan Foley, who became the Chippewas highest draft pick in more than a decade when he was selected in the fifth round by the New York Yankees. Also, Ball State senior outfielder Sean Godfrey (drafted by Atlanta) and Miami senior pitcher Seth Varner (drafted by Cincinnati) were named to the Louisville Slugger All-America Third Team as chosen by Colle-

giate Baseball Newspaper. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. In women’s basketball, Akron won its first ever MAC tournament championship and a program record 23 wins during the 2013-14 season. A total of five MAC programs were invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Akron; WNIT-Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan; WBI-Eastern Michigan). Bowling Green defeated High Point, St. Bonaventure and Michigan in the WNIT before falling to Rutgers in the WNIT Quarterfinals.

History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in To-ledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to North-east Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on Febru-ary 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference membership consists of 12 universities across five states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Ohio). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, there are 11 championships sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, 12 championships are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gym-nastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

The 1990 season marked the first-ever national postseason appearance for the Eastern Michigan University volleyball program, as the then-Hurons qualified for the Women’s Invi-tational Volleyball Championships, where Eastern went 2-2 before being eliminated by Tennessee. Led by head coach Nona Richardson and seniors Nikki Stubbs and Sherry Anderson, Eastern stormed out to 20 straight wins en route to a 30-5 season, both of which are school records. Current Eagles’ head coach Kim Berrington was an assistant coach with the 1990 EMU squad. Eastern finished the season as the South Florida Tournament champions, Wright State Tournament champions and Ann Arbor News Classic champions. Eastern then qualified for the MAC tournament, where it lost in the championship game to Miami in a five-set thriller. Eastern’s Stubbs, Anderson and Stacy Graham were named first-team All-MAC. Stubbs ranked fourth in hitting percentage in the conference and was second in kills per game at 4.75 kpg. Graham ranked second in the MAC in hitting percentage and blocks per game, while Anderson also ranked in the top three in the MAC in assists (11.37 apg) and led the team with 42 service aces.
