Indiana University East 2011 Women's Tennis Guide

2011-12 Women’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

Red Wolves FacilitiesIndiana University

East’s tennis teams

practice and play

their home matches at

nearby Glen Miller Park

in Richmond.

The Glen Miller tennis

facility includes eight

hard courts. Lights

are available for night

play.

Glen Miller Park is

located at 2200 Na-

tional Road East in

Richmond. The park is

just three miles south-

east of the IU East

campus. The tennis

courts are located

in the middle of the

park, just south of the park’s

main office.

The Red Wolves conduct some

practices on the IvyTech Com-

munity College tennis court a few

yards north of the IU East campus.

The IvyTech Community College

court features one of the freshest

tennis court surfaces in the Rich-

mond area.

Athletics SuiteThe Indiana University East ath-

letic department is housed in a

10-room suite in Springwood Hall

on the IU East campus.

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

How high can they raise the bar?

“Raising the level and achieving success,” is the goal

for the 2011 Indiana University East women’s tennis

season, in the words of first-year Red Wolves coach

Erskine Ratchford.

IU East begins its second NAIA season Aug. 25 at

Midway College.

The Red Wolves went 1-13 during an inaugural

season made challenging with a midseason coaching

change and a shorthanded roster.

IU East built optimism for Season Two with a 2-5

mark during a short spring season and a strong re-

cruiting class.

“We are a young team, but the players’ hard work,

competitive desire and intense practice matches have

formed a strong team that will challenge and surprise

the college teams they will compete against this sea-

son,” Ratchford says.

The rosterIU East added a “great group” of recruits to a strong

nucleus of players who competed during the 2010-

11 school year.

“All of the players started the season in good condi-

tion and are continuing to work hard,” Ratchford

said.

Redshirt junior Courtney Ecker (Centerville, Ind./Indi-

ana Institute of Technology) will play at the top of the

Red Wolves’ singles and doubles lineup.

Ecker has great touch at the net and enough power

to match shots with opposing schools’ No. 1 play-

ers.

Redshirt junior Kristi Henderson (Cambridge City,

Ind./Lincoln High School) played No. 1 singles for

most of the 2010-11 school year and will benefit

from that experience in 2011-12.

Henderson’s all-court game makes her effective in

singles and doubles.

Sophomore Cheltsi Hinners (Centerville, Ind./Center-

ville High School) is perhaps IU East’s most im-

proved player after tying for the team lead in singles

wins from the No. 3 spot in 2010-11.

Hinners added consistency to her already power-

ful strokes and is ready to win in the top half of the

lineup.

Redshirt senior Brittany Bueter (Elkhart, Ind./Indi-

ana University) improved her forehand to go along

with an already strong backhand.

Bueter matched Hinners for the team lead in singles

wins in 2010-11 from the No. 2 position. She also

will benefit from a season playing against top-of-the-

lineup opponents.

Redshirt sophomore Catherine Penland made re-

markable improvement during the 2010-11 season

and adds to the Red Wolves’ depth in 2011-12.

Season PreviewRed Wolves ready to raise the bar in 2011

Continued on Page 9

All four of IU East’s recruits could crack the starting

lineup.

Freshman Emily Underwood (Milton, Ind./Lincoln

High School) made rapid progress during her final

high school season and the past summer and is

poised to play in the top half of IU East’s singles

lineup.

Underwood has consistent groundstrokes, good court

movement and can out-think many opponents.

Redshirt sophomore Paige Froman (Rushville, Ind./

Ball State University) made quick progress during

the preseason to solidify her spot in the singles and

doubles lineups.

Froman is one of the Red Wolves’ most powerful play-

ers with a big serve and groundstrokes.

Freshman Kara Haynes (Brookville, Ohio/Brookville

High School) is a consistent player with good foot-

work and lots of match experience.

Haynes should enjoy success from the No. 5 and No.

6 singles spots.

Freshman Katie Pyle (Celina, Ohio/Celina High

School) will redshirt the 2010-11 season but will

give the Red Wolves a boost, particularly in doubles,

in the very near future.

“Just like the Red Wolf pack, the strength of this

team is the number and quality of the team mem-

bers,” Ratchford said.

Ratchford is officially a first-year coach, but he is no

stranger to the Red Wolves pack. Ratchford served

as a volunteer coach during the 2011-12 school

year.

The scheduleThe Red Wolves will play four home matches at Glen

Miller Park in Richmond.

IU East’s home opener is Aug. 28 against longtime

Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference cham-

pion Indiana University Southeast.

Most of the Red Wolves’ matches are against KIAC

opponents. The KIAC moved to a double round robin

format and added an eighth women’s tennis program

(St. Louis College of Pharmacy), meaning IU East

had to reserve 13 match dates for KIAC opponents.

The Red Wolves will play non-conference matches

against NCAA Division II opponents Oakland City

University (twice) and Central State University and

one match against crosstown opponent Earlham Col-

lege.

The KIAC tournament is Oct. 29-30 in Owensboro,

Ky.

The goalsRatchford lists three primary goals for the 2011-12

season:

1) Increase competitive capability and challenge all

opponents

2) Achieve a winning season

3) Forge a ‘team’ to build an ongoing and established

program

The Red Wolves were picked to finish fifth in the

eight-team KIAC in a preseason poll of league coach-

es, but Ratchford thinks IU East could be the sur-

prise of the conference.

“This will be the first year the women’s tennis team

will have a full roster of players to fill all spots in

singles and doubles,” Ratchford said. “And all of

the players are strong in playing skills and will be

competitive in the coming matches to be played this

season. This will provide the spectators and Red Wolf

fans with a competitive and athletic women’s ten-

nis team that will produce entertaining and exciting

sporting events.”

Season Preview... Season Preview, continued from Page 9

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.

“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 championships

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.”

A day-by-day look back at the 2010 Indiana Univer-

sity East women’s tennis season. It was the inaugu-

ral NAIA season for the Red Wolves women’s tennis

program.

September 9 - The opening chapter begins!The new Indiana University East women’s tennis pro-

gram faces crosstown foe Earlham College in the first

match in the program’s history. Experience won out

as Earlham posted a 9-0 win. IU East has five players

on its first-year roster and defaults the No. 6 singles

and No. 3 doubles matches, as it will do throughout

the season. “For this being our first match I have

nothing but good feelings,” said IU East coach Mike

Sherer. “I’m proud of the girls for giving 100 per-

cent effort. It’s great to have our first match ever. I’m

proud that’s been accomplished.”

September 13 - Conference debutIU East hosts Midway College in its first Kentucky

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match. The Red

Wolves fall 9-0, but Cheltsi Hinners and Brittany

Bueter play a close match at No. 1 doubles.

September 14 - A surprise shake-upMike Sherer resigns as men’s and women’s tennis

coach, effective immediately. Sherer stepped down

for personal reasons. “We thank Mike for doing the

heavy lifting to get our tennis programs off of the

ground,” said IU East athletic director Mark Hester.

“We wish him nothing but success in the future.” IU

East assistant athletic director and sports informa-

tion director Kyle Wright coaches the team for the

remainder of the 2010 season.

September 17-18 - A taste of successEach member of the Indiana University East wom-

en’s tennis team picked up at least one individual

victory during a two-day, four-match trip to Kentucky.

The Red Wolves lost all four matches, but recorded

several individual milestones. Cheltsi Hinners and

Brittany Bueter recorded the first match victory in IU

East tennis history with a No. 1 doubles win at Berea

College on Sept. 17. Catherine Penland picked up

the first singles win in the IU East program’s history

with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5 singles against Brescia

University on Sept. 18. Kristi Henderson became the

first IU East player to earn a single-doubles sweep

when she won both of her matches against Brescia

despite a foot injury. The Red Wolves won four of

seven contested matches against Brescia, but lost

the match 5-4 because of the two defaults required

with a five-player roster.

October 2 - Closer than the score indicatedIU East lost 9-0 against then-unbeaten Asbury Uni-

versity, but the points and games were much closer

than they were in the first meeting between the Red

Wolves and the Eagles. The match finishes just be-

fore rain moves into the Richmond area.

in the conference.

October 23 - Winners!IU East defeats Alice Lloyd College 5-4 in the first

of back-to-back matches against the Eagles at Berea

College. “There would have been no justice in the

universe if the ladies had gone through this season

without enjoying the reward of a team victory,” said

Red Wolves coach Kyle Wright. Lizzie Shepherd

claims the pivotal No. 4 singles match with a 10-5

win in a third set supertiebreak. IU East falls 5-4

in the rematch later in the day. The Red Wolves win

nine of the 14 contested matches on the day. Cath-

erine Penland finishes the day with a 3-0 record in
