HUNGRY FOR MORE

Sooners look to build off successful 2010 campaign The Oklahoma Sooners were picked to finish 10th in the Big 12 Conference in 2010 and proceeded to post the league’s third-best record and the program’s first appearance in the title game of the Big 12 Championship. Despite losing that heartbreaker in penalty kicks to Oklahoma State, the Sooners gained valuable postseason experience from the championship and the NCAA Portland Regional. In 2011, the Sooners are hungry for more postseason success. “One of the things that will drive the team this year lies in the fact that we let a Big 12 Championship slip away in the last 10 minutes of regulation,” said OU Head Coach Nicole Nelson, the 2010 Co-Big 12 Head Coach of the Year. “When you end a championship game in a tie, it keeps you coming back for more. The mentality of our program is that we want to be better every day. So although we took significant strides forward in 2010, our expectation is always to make history and to be better than the year before.” On paper, OU has a tall task to replace the program’s all-time leader scorer in Whitney Palmer, and two other four-year starters in Lauren Alkek and Tiana Dickson. However, after a successful spring season, the coaching staff is confident in the eight starters returning, along with several other key members off last year’s team, and their ability to gel with the six newcomers. “Overall, the group has developed a significant amount this spring,” said Nelson. “I feel like we finished the spring in a better place then we have in past years, which is promising.“

OU returns eight starters from a squa d that won 12 games in 2010 and made a successful postseason run. That experience has the players and coaches primed to take the next step in bringing the program’s first championship trophy back to Norm an.

“Although we took significant strides forward in 2010, our expectation is always to make history and to be better than the year before,” Coach Nelson. That offensive combination, along with a mix of experienced veterans and talented youngsters, has OU primed to top last season’s 37 goals scored, which tied the program record. In addition to Mooney and Hampton, OU also returns a quartet of players that scored two or more goals last season in Michelle Alexander (2), Annalisa Hall (3), Samantha Howell (3) and Kelsey Kraft (4). While the offense enjoyed the limelight of the 2010 campaign, the Sooners’ strong defense was again key to the success of last season’ 12 wins. If the team looks to take the next step in winning a Big 12 Championship and making their first back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances, it will have to rely on its back line. The strength of that defense rests in the net as it not only returns junior Kelsey Devonshire, who has started every game since her arrival on campus, but senior Lisa Jett, who started 12 games in 2008. In addition, OU has Rocke in goal as she left NAU after finishing 2010 as the program’s all-time leader in shutouts with 21.

The voids left by the 2010 senior class are filled with a highly touted four-member freshmen class, featuring Emily Bowman, Hannah Gordon, Abby Hodgen and Kelly Price. In addition, OU added transfers Alison Farrell (Oklahoma State) and Tori Rocke (Northern Arizona).

“I think this is the most depth we’ve had at the goalkeeper position since I started coaching OU,” said Nelson. “We will look to that experience to help lead a relatively young, but very talented, back line. We saw the most growth with our defenders during the spring and expect that to carry over into the fall.”

“The group adds the necessary depth in every position and will increase the competitiveness of our environment moving forward,” added Nelson.“Most importantly they represent the type of student athletes we believe are crucial for building a championship program. They are competitive and determined to make OU soccer successful on a national scale.”

To obtain their championship goals, the Sooners will battle through a 19-game slate that includes 10 contests at one of the premier collegiate soccer facilities in the nation, John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex. The Sooners will play one exhibition game on Aug. 13 at Arkansas before the season kicks off at home on Aug. 19 against Alabama Birmingham.

The returners off the 2011 squad are highlighted by five players with national team experience with juniors Dria Hampton and Caitlin Mooney and sophomores Zoe Dickson and Carrie Whigham from the United States, and junior Katharine Nutman from England.

“At this time last year, I said I believed the team was capable of winning a Big 12 Championship,” said Nelson. “With that experience behind us, I think this program can take the next step and bring home a championship for Sooner soccer. This team may have the best chemistry that I’ve ever coached.”

Hampton and Mooney will look to lead the offense and create havoc in the opposition’s defensive third. Mooney, a member of the All-Big 12 Newcomer team in 2010, was second on the team with seven goals and 17 points behind Palmer. Hampton led OU with five assists for the second straight year and displayed her offensive versatility by also tallying five goals. “Caitlin and Dria’s on the field chemistry adds a unique sophistication to our attack,” said Nelson. “This combination, if executed well, is hard for an opponent to defend.“ 6 - 2011 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

Overall, OU plays seven games against six teams that were in the 2010 NCAA tournament. “The 2011 schedule is exciting,” said Nelson.“It features an aggressive approach to our non-conference segment that, if we handle well, will give us the opportunity to achieve our postseason goals. The 2011 team has a good balance, concerning talent and experience, so I expect them to embrace the season with determination and excitement.”

GOALKEEPERS Key Returner......... Kelsey Devonshire (Jr.) and Lisa Jett (Sr.) Kelsey Devonshire followed up her freshman season, where she played every minute and recorded six shutouts, by blanking six more opponents during her sophomore campaign. A very physical keeper, Devonshire continues to evolve at the position and become more of a leader for OU’s back line. Lisa Jett is the veteran in the group and was 2-0 in 2010, including a combined shutout. She also brings experience after transferring from UCLA after 2007. Key Newcomer..........Tori Rocke (Sr.) A native of Garden Grove, Calif., Tori Rocke brings three years of starting experience from Northern Arizona University. Rocke is NAU’s all-time leader with 21 career shutouts and a .637 winning percentage (30-16-5). Nelson on keepers: “Kelsey had a good sophomore year. She has matured immensely and really peeked during the Big 12 Tournament, shutting out both Texas and Texas A&M. She is more comfortable communicating with her back line and has all the tools needed to be successful at the position. I’ve always said a good goalkeeper has to have a fearless mentality, exceptional confidence, be good with their feet, and obviously have good shot-stopping ability. We will look for Kelsey’s kicking game to be an area she has developed since last year. “Lisa had a break out year in 2010 from a performance standpoint. She and Kelsey battled for the starting position most of the season and we expect her to do the same this year. Lisa, with the help of her goalkeeper coach Trae Manny, has made significant strides developmentally, and her approach to the mental side of the position has matured. “Tori is going to be a great addition to the team and will also compete for that starting position. She brings maturity, having received her undergraduate degree from NAU, and invaluable experience. She had a decorated career at NAU, consistently faced some of the top programs in the Pac-10, and performed very well.” DEFENSE Key Returner (s)........Amy Petrikin, Kathryn Watson & Carrie Whigham (So.) Carrie Whigham is a talented defender that has been a member of the U.S. National Team since age 15 and captained the U-18 squad in Spain last summer and attended camp with the U-20’s in January 2011. Whigham has one of the deepest pedigrees of any Sooner in program history. She was a consistent staple in the back line in 2010 playing 90 minutes in every game, with the exception of the Big 12 Championship due to an injury. Her experience is invaluable to this year’s back line that will debut a number of new faces. Amy Petrikin and Kathryn Watson developed significantly during the spring and were able to get a lot of quality game minutes. Both players are athletic and solid one-versus-one defenders. Key Newcomer (s).....Emily Bowman (Fr.) and Molly Richey (RS-Fr.) While Molly Richey is a new face to Sooner fans, she does have a year of development under her belt with a redshirt season in 2010. She is an athletic and tenacious defender. Emily Bowman brings a great physical presence to the back line. She is a ball winner both in the air and in the tackle, and is composed in her distribution. She played at a high level prior to Norman as her club team won a national championship. So the coaches expect her to adjust quickly to the speed of the game at the collegiate level. Nelson on defense: "We expect the organization of our back line to be very good and we look forward to watching them flourish this fall. The spring allowed for a lot of position work and game experience. The defenders will have to be good one-versus-one and have a sound tactical understanding of the game and how we want to run a back line. We ask our outside backs to play major role in initiating our attack. Decision making in the attack will be the focus.”

MIDFIELD Key Returner (s)........Zoe Dickson (So.), Dria Hampton (Jr.), Samantha Howell (So.) & Katharine Nutman (Jr.) Juniors Dria Hampton and Katharine Nutman have deep pedigrees with their experience on the U.S. and English National teams, respectively. On top of their two-years of starting experience, OU also returns sophomores Zoe Dickson and Samantha Howell, who both played in every game as true freshmen, combining for 41 starts and 10 points. That experience, combined with the newcomer’s potential to play at a high level, is the key to the midfield’s success in 2011. Key Newcomer(s)...... Alison Farrell (Jr.), Hannah Gordon (Fr.) & Abby Hodgen (Fr.) The freshmen duo of Gordon and Hodgen gives Oklahoma depth in the midfield while Farrell brings Division I experience to the midfield after playing in 24 games with 12 starts at Oklahoma State in 2009. Nelson on midfield: “Dria Hampton is one of the most talented playmaker’s in our conference. She has the ability to change a game with her creativity at any time. I have been extremely pleased with her commitment to continue evolving as a player. She plays a significant role in shaping the style of our attack. “Kat Nutman moved in to a defensive midfield role for us last year and is a rock tactically for us on both sides of the ball. She reads the game extremely well and has the ability to keep possession for us. Sam had a great freshman year and was also a staple in our midfield. She covers a tremendous amount of ground both defensively and in the attack. The energy she adds to our midfield is crucial to our success. “I expect the newcomers to contribute immediately in the midfield. Alison (Farrell) has Big 12 experience, good chemistry with Dria and Mooney having played club ball together, and has had the advantage of being with us all last year training. Abby (Hodgen) was recognized as one of the top players in the state in this age group. She is very versatile in the role she can play because she possesses qualities of both a defensive and playmaking midfielder. Hannah has a good soccer IQ and is technically talented, so we could see her in more of an attacking role.” FORWARDS Key Returner (s)........Michelle Alexander (Sr.), Sage Coralli (Sr.), Annalisa Hall (So.), Kelsey Kraft (Sr.) & Caitlin Mooney (Jr.) The forward position features another highly experienced group of players, led by Caitlin Mooney who was second on the team in scoring in 2011 with seven goals and three assists. Alexander, Coralli and Kraft bring three years of experience to the table while Hall played in all 23 games as a true freshman last year (12 starts). Key Newcomer..........Kelly Price (Fr.) Price comes from a competitive club atmosphere in Chicago, Illinois and her athletic potential is very high. She had success scoring in competitive environments at the club and prep level. Nelson on forwards: "Our attack is going to be very balanced, specifically with our forwards. We have balance in that we have speed to get behind defenses, the ability to make plays and the ability to hold the ball. The work put in by this group in the spring was exciting and fun to coach. I expect this group to be a little more composed in the attacking third and they have the capability to score a variety of different types of goals. “

BIG 12 MEDIA RELATIONS The Big 12 Media Relations Office is located in Irving, Texas. Communications Intern Laura Rasmussen (lrasmussen@big12sports.com) serves as the soccer contact. The conference office number is (469) 524-1000 and the address is 400 East John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, Texas, 75062. The conference also maintains a Web site at www.big12sports.com. 2011 BIG 12 SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP The 2011 Big 12 Soccer Championship will take place on Nov. 2-6 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. This marks the 15th consecutive year that the University of Texas and San Antonio Sports Foundation will co-host the event at the venue. In 1996, the first league soccer championship was at the Anheuser-Busch Conference and Sports Centre in St. Louis, Mo. The top eight teams based on conference results determined by a point system qualify for the Big 12 Championship. A squad gets three points for each conference win and one point for each conference tie. The winner of the Big 12 Championship receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M are the only teams to have captured the conference postseason championship. BIG 12 CONFERENCE – ONE TRUE CHAMPION One. True. Champion. The Big 12 enters its 16th year in a unique position – as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field. Around here, it’s every team against every team. We believe that’s the way a true champion is made. Determining our champion on the field is just one portion of how we play in the Big 12 Conference. The member schools of the Big 12 are neighbors, where road games don’t require crossing time zones. We battle each other hard on Gameday and celebrate wins against outside competition. Our student-athletes, fans and alumni have each other’s backs on other days, because that is what you do for your neighbor. A hard work ethic and Midwestern values are part of everyone associated with the Big 12 and its member schools. This work ethic has translated to enormous success on the field of play in the first 15 years of the league. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 42 team crowns and 477 individual NCAA Championships. The trophy case added more hardware last year as Oklahoma State (men’s cross country) and Texas A&M (women’s basketball) won national crowns. In the spring, the Aggies registered an unprecedented double three-peat by winning the men’s and women’s NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships for the third straight season. Big 12 squads are highly-regarded on a national level in every sport. All but one sport the Conference sponsored this past season had at least one team ranked in the top five of the national polls, with eight sports boasting the nation’s No. 1 team. In addition, most of those top five rankings (and all the No. 1 rankings) were by schools that will be part of the league in 2011-12 and beyond. In addition to the NCAA crowns and top rankings, several other teams made strong national showings. Ten Big 12 volleyball teams have competed in the regional semifinals of the NCAA Championship over the past three years, including Texas for three straight campaigns. In 2010-11, six of the eight sports that hold NCAA Championships where the Big 12 sponsored full round-robin competition had a team competing among the final eight teams or beyond. The spring season was especially successful. Softball was well-represented at the Women’s College World Series as Big 12 teams made up half the eight-team field. Baylor was among the four national semifinalists in women’s tennis while Oklahoma State qualified for the semifinals in men’s golf. The Conference had multiple squads in the baseball College World Series field for the fourth time. In outdoor track and field, a total of 12 league squads placed among the top 25 finishers at the NCAA Championships, led by A&M’s national crown. The individual honors also continued, most recently with Texas pitcher Taylor Jungmann named the recipient of the Dick Howser Trophy, presented to college baseball’s

Player of the Year. The Conference had six athletes earn major individual awards in football and also had the national defensive player of the year for women’s basketball. Overall, more than 1,200 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition in the past four years alone. Through its first 15 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 16 of the sports it sponsors. The Conference is tied with a nation’s-best seven appearances in the BCS National Championship Game and leads the country with 89 football consensus AllAmerica selections. League squads have combined to lead the nation in women’s basketball attendance each of the last 12 years and the Big 12 is the only conference to surpass the one-million mark in season attendance – doing so six times, including each of the last five seasons. In men’s basketball, the league has sent six different teams to the Elite Eight the past four campaigns, the most of any conference. The 10 current members have accounted for 34 of 39 bowl appearances over the last five years, including eight BCS berths. All 42 NCAA men’s basketball bids in the last eight years and 77 of 80 in Big 12 history have been earned by the 10 schools. During the last seven years a total of 21 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including 14 straight seasons. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports with the addition of equestrian and rowing for the 2011-12 campaign. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball. The Conference is comprised of 10 institutions in the Central time zone that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor University, Iowa State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University. The institutions created a league that encompasses five states and over 40 million people. More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference. The Conference conducts championships for 20 of its 23 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football regular season championship earns the league’s berth into the Bowl Championship Series. This past summer, the Big 12 entered into a lucrative multi-year agreement with FOX Sports for selected football telecasts along with other sports. The Conference also has a multi-year agreement in place with ABC/ESPN, Inc. that began in 2008-09. In its first 15 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.4 billion to its member institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas. SOONERSPORTS.COM - 11

Head coach Nicole Nelson enters her fourth year at the helm of the OU soccer program in 2011 after taking the Sooners to the title game of the Big 12 Championship and the NCAA Tournament a season ago. For her efforts, Nelson was named the Co-Big 12 Coach of the Year while Whitney Palmer (second team) and Caitlin Mooney (newcomer) were named all-conference. In the offseason, Palmer and Lauren Alkek became the first Sooners drafted by professional soccer. The duo was part of the top 24 players in the country selected in the 2011 WPS Draft. OU was tied for the national lead with the most players drafted.

Some of the nation’s top prep players have traveled to Norman since Nelson’s arrival as the 2010 roster included seven players with national team experience in the U.S.and England. In July, 2010, Nelson worked with as a U.S. Soccer Region III age group coach and was the head coach in 2011. She has been a member of the Olympic Development Program for Region III for the last nine years and is currently the head coach of the ‘97 team. Nelson was introduced as the head soccer coach at the University of Oklahoma on Dec. 21, 2007, following a thorough national search. After an impressive three-year run as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin and successful stints as an assistant coach at Texas and Baylor, Nelson became the third head coach in the history of the program. Throughout the 10 years of her collegiate coaching career, Nelson’s teams have built an 103-80-26 record, including a 33-19-9 mark while at the helm of the Stephen F. Austin program from 2002-2004. Nelson, a native of Yukon, Okla., who attended Mustang High School and graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1997, expressed her joy in returning home upon her hire. “I am excited to return home to the state of Oklahoma to coach,” Nelson said. “Having grown up playing and coaching in this state, it is with tremendous pride that I accept this position. I am grateful for the opportunities that I had at Texas, Baylor and Stephen F. Austin as they prepared me for the work that lies ahead here at Oklahoma.“ During her two years as an assistant at Texas, Nelson worked with all aspects of running the program and helped coach a Longhorn team that won back-to-back postseason Big 12 Championships in 2006 and 2007. In addition, Texas made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 during Nelson’s tenure, which also featured nine All-Big 12 honorees and three AllAmerica honors. The postseason run in 2006 was the Longhorns’ first conference tournament title and, after an appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16, Texas achieved the program’s highest final ranking at No. 8. In addition, the 18 wins in 2006 was a program best and Texas also produced two All-Americans in a single season for the second time in program history. In 2007, Texas finished with a 16-4-5 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Big 12 standings with a 6-2-2 record. Nelson again helped lead the Longhorns into elite status as they achieved a No. 1 ranking during the season, won the Big 12 Tournament Championship and appeared in the NCAA Sweet 16.

Nelson tutored 25 student-athletes who were named All-SLC over three seasons and left the Ladyjacks as the winningest coach in program history. As a player, Nelson started every game and was the team captain in 1995, 1996 and 1997 at Oklahoma City University under Brian Harvey. Nelson was a threetime All-Sooner Athletic Conference member and Academic All-American. She began her collegiate career at Texas A&M University as a freshman and concluded it at OCU as an All-American (honorable mention).

Nelson served as the recruiting coordinator at Texas, a position she also held as an assistant coach while at Baylor University in 2005.

Before she started her career in coaching, Nelson played semi-professional soccer for the Austin Lonestars (W-League).

Prior to her stint at Baylor, Nelson directed the Stephen F. Austin program to two Southland Conference Championships. In her second year at the helm, Nelson’s Ladyjacks won the conference tournament and made the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.

Following that stint, she worked with numerous clubs and camps before taking her first position in the collegiate ranks as a volunteer assistant at her alma mater in 2000-01.

COACH NELSON Q&A 1

Given the team’s success in 2010, have you noticed any changes in the team’s mindset, work ethic, recruiting, fan base, etc … ? Our culture continues to improve and our mindset and work ethic are part of that culture. The players in our program continue to raise the bar concerning recruiting. They embrace competition and encourage high level players to become part of what we are building. Our fan base increases every year due to the commitment of our players and staff to reach out to the community. I think our free clinics, school assemblies, and camps all contribute to our growing fan base. The players in our program understand the crucial role they play as role models and mentors to the youth soccer community.

You return a majority of the starting lineup despite losing three key seniors in Whitney Palmer, Lauren Alkek and Tiana Dickson. What are your expectations for the 2011 season? Our expectation every year is to a win championship, to make history and be better than the previous year. Although the loss of our senior class is significant, especially from an athletic standpoint, I think our team has become a better soccer team over the course of the last nine months. We are much better playing in front of a back line and with our decision making in the final third. We have added some very good athletes with our younger players stepping in to new roles and our freshman class. We have a number of players that have the potential to contribute to the attack, which is exciting. On the defensive side of the ball, I expect us to be successful given the development of our players last spring.

Whitney Palmer was the team’s scoring leader each of the last four seasons, who do you see stepping up to fill that void? Whitney was a tremendous goal scorer for our program and role model for our younger players. When you have a teammate have the success that Whit did during her career, it motivates you to raise the bar for yourself. One of the things about our current players that make them a lot of fun to coach is their willingness to evolve. We have the potential to have multiple players score goals for us. Some of those players include Caitlin Mooney, Dria Hampton, Annalisa Hall, Michelle Alexander and the list goes on. We saw a number of players improve their finishing ability and score goals for us in the spring.

You added four freshmen and two transfers for the season, how do you see them fitting in for this campaign? They all have the ability to come in and compete. Our freshmen add depth and competition to every line in our system and our transfers have both been successful playing at a high collegiate level.

What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of this team? This team is as close as any team I’ve ever coached. They have bought in to a “team first” mentality. They care about each other and will fight for each other, which is a big piece of the puzzle, in my opinion. From a performance standpoint, they are better in possession than previous teams. It seems like they all have the ability to score goals and their soccer IQ is good. The players are willing to work on both sides of the ball and they are a cohesive unit the majority of the time. On paper, we lack experience in the back line as we have a lot of new faces on defense, but they are obviously talented. Given the nature of our schedule, they will be tested early and how we respond to adversity, especially during the course of a game, will be a big contributor to our success.

You put together another strong showing in the spring, who or what was the biggest surprise in the offseason? A couple of things stood out. Annalisa Hall continues to evolve as an attacking player. If she is healthy, she will be a handful for defenses to deal with. Caitlin Mooney and Dria Hampton continue to be a dynamic combination for us in the attack and both were key contributors last spring. Michelle Alexander had a very good spring as well. We moved her back to an attacking role last fall and she continues to be a threat with an end product as a forward.

The Big 12 is always one of the top conferences in the nation, is the competitiveness affected by Nebraska and Colorado departing? Nebraska and Colorado have undoubtably been strong programs in our conference, so we will miss those opponents. However, the other programs in our conference continue to get stronger. I expect it to be as competitive in 2011 as is has been historically given the growth of the other programs. SOONERSPORTS.COM - 17

Head Coach Nicole Nelson worked with Van Linder previously at Baylor in 2005 and that success translated into Oklahoma returning to the postseason in 2010. “It is a unique opportunity to be able to add someone I consider a mentor to my staff,” Nelson said.“Having worked with George at Baylor, I know that his personality is a great compliment to mine. He has an incredible soccer mind, perfectly fits the definition of a `players coach,’ and brings an energy to our program that in invaluable. He appreciates all the University of Oklahoma and Sooner athletics represents and embraces the challenge of making championships an OU soccer tradition.” In 2010, the Sooners posted double-digit wins for the first time since 2005 and finished third in the Big 12 regular season standings while making the program’s first appearance in the Big 12 Championship game. The season featured 37 goals (tied for program record) and culminated with OU clinching a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history (2003). Prior to his arrival in Norman, Van Linder spent the previous two years as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin. He also has extensive experience in the Big 12 Conference after serving as the head coach during five seasons (2003-2007) at Baylor University. In Waco, he worked with Nelson during the 2005 campaign. The Galeburg, Mich. native, compiled a 134-107-22 record in 15 years as a collegiate head coach and hauled in recruiting classes that were ranked nationally on eight occasions. Also in that time, he coached 53 all-conference honorees and was twice named a conference coach of the year (1996 at Butler and 2000 at SMU). In his final two years at SFA, Van Linder’s clubs were a combined 19-15-4, and set several program records while advancing to the conference tournament on two occasions, including a second place regular season finish in 2008. Prior to the stint in Nacogdoches, Van Linder logged five seasons as the head coach at Baylor. He led the Bears to a 2006 trip to the Big 12 Tournament, a program first since 2001. His time in Waco produced four all-conference honors, including Ashley Noah who was chosen for the U-20 U.S. National team, and 41 Academic All-Big 12 honorees. Van Linder posted a 59-21-10 in four seasons at the SMU helm and guided the Mustangs to four straight Western Athletic Conference regular-season championships. In 1999, SMU reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, one of three postseason appearances. In all three of the NCAA Tournaments, the Mustangs won their first round game and also finished the season ranked in the top 25. He was named WAC Coach of the Year in 2000 and earned the Dallas Morning News Coach of the Year award in 1999.He started his collegiate head coaching career in 1996, when he took over the women’s program at Butler after serving three years as an assistant for the men’s team.

Manny begins his second season at Oklahoma in 2011 after serving as the goalkeepers’ coach at Stephen F. Austin the previous two seasons. “After an exhaustive search that included a number of very qualified candidates, I realized Trae Manny was the perfect addition to our staff,” said Nelson. “He has played at a high level, is very respected as a goalkeeper coach, has learned from some very respected mentors, and is hungry to continue evolving.” In 2010, the Sooners posted double-digit wins for the first time since 2005 and finished third in the Big 12 regular season standings while making the program’s first appearance in the Big 12 Championship game.

Manny and Van Linder worked the last two seasons together at Stephen F. Austin where the program compiled a 19-15-4 mark, set several program records, advanced to the conference tournament on two occasions, and recorded a second place regular season finish in 2008. Manny’s primary responsibility rests in coaching the Sooner goalkeepers, but he is also involved in all aspects of the program’s daily operations.

DAVID L. BOREN University President 13th President at Oklahoma

David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions. Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965. In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty. As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education. One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993. Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history. 22 - 2011 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress. For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock. Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year. Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year. In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university. Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence

Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen. The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1.9 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $67 million National Weather Center on OU’s Norman campus, the $90 million OU Cancer Institute on OU’s Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City and the $35 million OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center Clinic . Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential. In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have increased from 100 to 557 and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 125,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university. Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

JOE CASTIGLIONE VP / Athletics Director 11th Director at Oklahoma

Excellence is a word that is often overused yet, when The University of Oklahoma is mentioned with the word excellence, the meaning comes through. From one of the best universities in the nation to a department of intercollegiate athletics that is second to none, excellence is the norm. As successful at the last 10 years have been, on campus and in competition, a new standard has been set and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998. Castiglione’s Sooner team has created a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are the expectations, not the exceptions. Through his leadership and the support of the University’s administration, there is a department-wide commitment, involving student-athletes, coaches and staff, to that standard. With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents and Castiglione’s leadership, the OU athletics department represents a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none. For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow” Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in 10 of the last 12 years. OU finished 12th after the 200910 academic year, a position that marked an all-time best performance in the annual ranking of programs that succeed across the board. Through his insistence that daily and longterm decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 12 years. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision in June 2009 to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million annually to OU’s Academics Budget. The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the studentathletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David

L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998. In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration. His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000. The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching graduate classes in Marketing Development and Leadership in Higher Education. Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to more than $220 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics

history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director. A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing. His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at national and conference level. He chairs the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served two previous terms and is the current chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. A member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman. Castiglione served his third term as OU’s campus co-chair this past year, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund. SOONERSPORTS.COM - 23

2010 SEASON REVIEW notes and highlights

SOONERS MAKE HISTORY IN 2010 The 2010 campaign was a season of firsts for the Sooner Soccer team under third-year head coach Nicole Nelson. OU posted double-digit wins for the first time since 2005. The Sooners returned to the Big 12 Tournament for the first time since 2006 and advanced to the program’s first conference championship game. Despite falling just short of its first Big 12 Championship following a 5-4 loss in penalty kicks, OU clinched a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history (2003). Oklahoma started the 2010 campaign as the Big 12 coaches’ pick to finish 10th in the league’s preseason poll. The Sooners finished the regular season with a program-best five wins in conference play. OU had the league’s third-best record but virtue of a tiebreaker with Nebraska, clinched the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 Tournament. Prior to falling to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 title game, the Sooners knocked off then-No. 21 Texas and then-No. 6 Texas A&M in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. The program’s highest finish in the Big 12 was coupled with OU tying the 2005 Sooners for the most goals scored in a season with 37. Once again, Whitney Palmer led the Sooners in goals scored and points with nine and 22, respectively. She finished her career as the only Sooner to lead OU in scoring in all four seasons and was rewarded for her efforts. Palmer was named All-Big 12 and All-Region for the second straight year and is the only Sooner to hold four all-conference honors and two all-region accolades. Nelson was named the Big 12’s Co-Head Coach of the Year with OSU’s Colin Carmichael prior to the run in the conference tournament, which eventually led to an NCAA postseason appearance for the Sooners. OU lost in the first round of the NCAA Portland Regional, 4-0, to Washington, a team that advanced to the Elite Eight. “Our program has come a long way with this season,” said Nelson after the loss the Huskies. “The one thing that I said to them after the game was the only thing we can do at this point is learn from this experience and move forward.” While OU lost three starters in seniors Lauren Alkek, Tiana Dickson and Palmer, it returns eight starters and 19 letterwinners from a team that was one win shy of tying the program record for wins.

PALMER TABBED ALL-REGION Senior Whitney Palmer added another program first to conclude her impressive Sooner soccer career. The Plano, Texas, native became the first Sooner to be named an All-Region selection in two separate seasons. The National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA) tabbed Palmer a second team member for the second straight year. BIG 12 ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Seniors Lauren Alkek and Whitney Palmer and sophomore Dria Hampton were named to the Big 12 All-Tournament team. Only one other Sooner in program history has held that distinction (Bridgette Smith in 2000).

NELSON, PALMER AND MOONEY HONORED The 2010 All-Big 12 team was announced on Nov. 1 and three Sooners were honored. Head coach Nicole Nelson shared Coach of the Year honors with Colin Carmichael (Oklahoma State), her third such coaches’ honor but first in the Big 12. She joins Randy Evans (2000) as the only Sooners to collect the conference accolade. Senior forward Whitney Palmer was named to the second team, her fourth consecutive All-Big 12 honor and a first by a Sooner. Sophomore Caitlin Mooney was selected to the newcomer team with seven goals in her first season at OU after transferring from Maryland. SOONERS COLLECT NINE ACADEMIC HONORS Senior Lauren Alkek, junior Michelle Alexander and sophomore Katharine Nutman were named to CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine’s Academic All-District VI second team while sophomore Dria Hampton was voted to the third team. The four selections mark a program best, topping the three honored in 2007. OU has been represented on the academic all-district team in each of the last eight years and has multiple honorees in five of those seasons. Alexander was named to the third team a year ago. In addition, Alexander, Alkek, Nutman and Hampton were also named to the Academic All-Big 12 first team along with senior Tiana Dickson. The five honorees marks the seventh straight season that OU has placed at least five student-athletes on the first team. Alkek and Dickson are three-time honorees while Alexander collected her second such accolade. BEST SINCE 2005 OU finished the 2010 regular season with 10 wins, the fifth time it posted double-digit victories in a season (first since 2005). The Sooners also tied a school record with five Big 12 wins, a total also accomplished in 2005. In addition, OU had 37 goals, tied for the highest total in school history with the 2005 Sooners. YEAR-BY-YEAR IMPROVEMENT OU saw significant improvement from year one under head coach Nicole Nelson to year two. In 2009, Nelson and the Sooners doubled the win total after 11 games from the previous season. That trend continued again in 2010 with the first double-digit win season since 2005. OU has improved in nearly every major category each season as outlined below: 2010 2009 2008

THE UNIVERSITY academics

THE PATH TO GRADUATION STARTS HERE In the 1950s, he came to OU to play football, and, in the process, broke down barriers and crushed stereotypes. Today, OU student-athletes use the Prentice Gautt Academic Center to break another kind of stereotype. The center that today’s student-athletes use everyday now bears the name of the man who left an indelible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process. The formal dedication of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center was held Friday, Sept. 17, 1999. The proposal to re-name the center was approved by the OU Board of Regents in March 1999. “It is appropriate that this center be named after Prentice Gautt,” OU President David L. Boren said.“His personal values and character, along with his leadership as associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, continue to bring pride to his alma mater. His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure, and dedication to the university helped open the doors of opportunity for countless number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed him into collegiate athletics.” The professional consultants of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center help studentathletes with a variety of academic tasks, from learning strategy instruction to any stage of the writing process including preparing for an essay exam and the formal research paper. The goal is to help student-athletes develop the strategies they need to be successful by encouraging the use of the center for all facets of the learning and writing processes encountered in college. The Prentice Gautt Academic Center provides student-athletes with a state-ofthe-art academic support facility. The environment encourages a collaboration between staff members and student-athletes. In addition, it is highly conducive to learning in all areas of students’ academic endeavors and features seven learning centers.

THE UNIVERSITY athletics excellence

A STORIED AND ACTIVE TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 26 team national championships including eight in men’s gymnastics, seven in football, seven in wrestling, two in baseball, one in men’s golf and one in softball. The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It inspires OU’s student-athletes to greater heights every season. In 2010-2011, the Sooners recorded their best-ever finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup at No. 10. Eighteen of Oklahoma’s 21 teams advanced to postseason competition during the 2010-11 school year. Highlights included the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finishing No. 3 nationally, the women’s track and field team finishing No. 4 and the men’s cross country team No. 5. The football team won its seventh Big 12 Championship in eleven seasons and won the 2011 Fiesta Bowl in its eighth BCS bowl appearance in eleven seasons in 2011, while the softball team advanced to the 2011 Women’s College World Series. In 2002, the Sooner men’s and women’s basketball teams carved their spot in history by advancing to the NCAA Final Four -- only the third time in NCAA history a school accomplished the feat with both teams in the same year. The OU women added two more Final Four appearances in 2009 and 2010, becoming one of only eight programs in NCAA history to reach back-to-back Final Fours. Even more remarkable, during the 2008-2009 season, the OU football and men’s and women’s basketball teams combined for 74 wins – tying the most ever for those three sports by a Division I school in a single season. In 20082009, OU went 12-2 in football, 30-6 in men’s basketball and 32-5 in women’s basketball. The 74-win mark was

88 - 2011 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

previously set during the 2001-2002 season by none other than the Oklahoma Sooners. The University of Oklahoma now stands alone in college sports’ 30-30-10 club, created exclusively by OU. Oklahoma’s student-athletes continue to lead in the classroom and their actions in the community are exemplary. With the Great Expectations campaign, Oklahoma continues to build the finest facilities in the nation. Each day, it becomes more evident that the University of Oklahoma has become one of the finest comprehensive athletics program in the country. When OU student-athletes raise the trophy of another championship, the hands responsible for hoisting that trophy symbolize thousands of Sooners around the globe. The following represents a closer look at the tradition powering the Oklahoma Sooners: • Oklahoma was playing football before it was a state. It’s only one of two Division I football programs to win seven or more national championships. And OU is the only Division I football program ever to record 47 straight victories. • With Sam Bradford at No. 1, Gerald McCoy at No. 3 and Trent Williams at No. 4, Oklahoma became the first school ever to supply three of the first four NFL Draft picks in 2010. 2010 also marked only the second time that one school has produced the top pick in consecutive NBA (OU’s Blake Griffin went first in the 2009 hoops draft) and NFL Drafts. Bradford and Griffin were both named Rookie of the Year in their respective leagues, it was the first time in history that the two award winners came from the same university.

• Oklahoma gymnastics great Bart Conner won two NCAA all-around crowns and led the Sooners to two NCAA titles in 1977 and 1978. A three-time Olympian (1976, ‘80, ‘84), Conner won two gold medals in 1984. He was instrumental in the foundation of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. • Oklahoma defeated UCLA in the 2000 Women’s College World Series to capture the school’s first softball national championship. The Sooners won 66 games, broke 15 school records, had four All-Americans, the WCWS Most Outstanding Player, three WCWS all-tournament team members, a Big 12 title, a No. 1 ranking and the National Coaching Staff of the Year. The Sooners became just the second non-West Coast team in NCAA history to win a softball national championship. • The OU men’s basketball team has competed in 27 postseason tournaments in the last 30 years. In 2009 OU produced its 32nd winning season in the last 34 years. No other Big 12 team can boast as many winning campaigns in the span. • Sooner football has accumulated seven national championships, 43 conference titles, 26 bowl championships, 152 All-Americans and had 350 players drafted by the NFL, including 41 first-round selections and four No. 1 picks: Lee Roy Selmon (1976), Billy Sims (1980), Brian Bosworth (1987—supplemental) and Sam Bradford (2010). • Oklahoma’s storied wrestling program has amassed 23 conference titles and seven national championships. OU has produced 263 All-Americans and its 65 individual national champions ranks third all-time.

• The OU women’s basketball team advanced to its third overall and second-consecutive Final Four in 2010 after playing the nation’s toughest schedule. The Sooners, at some point, played all four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Championship and 13 teams ranked in the final top 25. • Oklahoma football has placed 28 former Sooners into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, including three head coaches: Bennie Owen in 1951, Bud Wilkinson in 1969 and Barry Switzer in 2001. • The Oklahoma men’s golf program has produced 47 All-Americans, eight three-time All-Americans, eight individual conference champions, 14 conference titles and the 1989 national championship. • OU football has produced five Heisman Trophy winners: halfback Billy Vessels won the award in 1952, tailback Steve Owens won in 1969, halfback Billy Sims won in 1978, quarterback Jason White brought the trophy back to Norman in 2003 and fellow QB Sam Bradford took home the award last season. OU players have captured 63 national awards and the Sooners have also produced five Outland Trophies, four Walter Camp Trophies, four Butkus Award winners, four Davey O’Brien Awards, three Lombardi Awards, three Thorpe Awards, two Bronko Nagurski Awards, two Maxwell Awards, one Tatupu Award, one Johnny Unitas Award and one Bednarik award. • The Oklahoma baseball team swept through its regional tournament and the World Series without a loss to capture the 1994 national championship. The Sooners topped off a 42-17 regular season with the school’s second national baseball title.

• Oklahoma golf’s Charlie Coe was one of the most celebrated amateur players in the history of the game. During his career, Coe captured U.S. amateur crowns in 1949, 1958 and 1959. He also played in 19 straight Masters Tournaments. Coe competed on the Walker Cup teams of 1949, 1951 and 1953. • Oklahoma wrestling has produced 18 Olympians who have collectively won three gold and two silver medals. Brothers Dave and Mark Schultz both won gold in the 1984 games. • Oklahoma baseball won the 1951 College World Series with a come-from-behind win over Tennessee in the championship game to become the first team in history to claim the title after winning the double-elimination tournament without a defeat. • Oklahoma baseball advanced to its 10th College World Series appearance in 2010 and finished the season ranked No. 5 nationally, the program’s highest finish since claiming OU’s second national title in 1994. • Oklahoma basketball great Wayman Tisdale was a threetime All-American for the Sooners from 1983-85 and is the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in OU history. He was a member of the 1984 gold-medal-winning U.S. Olympic team and was recently named the greatest player ever in the Big Eight Conference by a panel of longtime conference media observers and officials. Tisdale’s No. 23 jersey was retired by Oklahoma in 1997 -- the first jersey ever retired by OU in any sport.

• Sooner basketball great Stacey Dales graduated as the most decorated player in the program’s history in 2002. She was the WNBA’s third overall draft pick by the Washington Mystics. In addition to leading OU to the 2002 national championship game, Dales was a two-time consensus All-American, two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, and two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American. • Former OU letterwinners Michael Blackwood (track and field), Jonathan Horton (men’s gymnastics) and Danny McFarlane (track and field) represented Oklahoma at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. • Three-time OU All-American Anthony Kim won the 2008 AT&T National in early July, becoming the first American golfer since Tiger Woods to win twice in one year on the PGA Tour. Kim was also a member of the victorious U.S. squad at the 2008 Ryder Cup where he played a crucial role in winning the cup with a crushing defeat of Sergio Garcia. • OU women’s gymnastics made its eighth-straight NCAA Championships in 2011 and its second straight NCAA top three finish. OU made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Super Six in 2010 and 2011, finishing in a program best second place in 2010 and third place overall in 2011. The Sooners completed their third undefeated regular season in four years in 2011 and currently own the nation’s longest regular season win streak at 29. • OU women’s gymnastics became the first women’s sport at Oklahoma to be ranked No. 1 during the regular season in 2010.

THE UNIVERSITY tradition and spirit

SOME OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED TRADITIONS IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU: Sooners College sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as tied in to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride. The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went early were called “Sooners.” OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning. Boomer Sooner One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them. In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was

90 - 2011 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form today’s university fight song. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity. Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, OK U! Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OK U! I’m a Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I’ll be Sooner dead Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma Rah Oklahoma, OK U! Mascots The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions. During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928.

In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted “Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA). Crimson and Cream In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body. The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand. Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.”

On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the official colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about. Pride of Oklahoma The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for more than a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band. In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the first band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the first continuous student band in 1904. Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community. Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defining element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the

field playing Boomer Sooner. OU Chant The OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions. Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University! SOONERSPORTS.COM - 91

THE UNIVERSITY community service

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS OU Community service events for OU student-athletes from the past year included: OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes... Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfill that promise, the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others. The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of studentathletes from all 21 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma. The group coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month. “Giving back is something that benefits us as much as those we’re helping,” says OU head softball coach Patty Gasso.“It brings us back to reality and makes us realize that there is more to life than collegiate softball. I feel it’s our duty to help out because of the role we’re in as a Division I softball program.” Oklahoma women’s basketball teams have been extremely active in the community since head coach Sherri Coale’s arrival in 1996. In addition to projects with the United Way, Coaches vs. Cancer, Mission of Hope for Haiti and Food and Shelter for Friends, Coale implemented the Sooner Big Sis Program which places women’s basketball players at elementary schools in Norman to serve as mentors and teachers’ aides. “I want our student-athletes to learn through their experience here,” says Coale, “how important it is to volunteer to be a part of whatever community they decide to reside in when their playing days are over.” Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live.

Continuous visits to various elementary schools were made by members of the Football, Men’s Baseball, Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Women’s Golf, Softball, and Rowing teams in Norman to help our student-athletes reach even more local students.

Numerous student- athletes from the Women’s Basketball, Women’s Golf, and Rowing teams have volunteered at Food & Shelter for Friends along with other food shelters in the Norman Community. Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams have continued to host their annual Special Olympic Basketball Clinic.

strength and conditioning and sports medicine

ROBIN SIEGFRIED & FAMILY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COMPLEX THE PROGRAM Oklahoma’s weight training program is a pioneer in the development of strength and conditioning, and is a vital part of the Sooners’ traditional success. OU strength and conditioning coaches utilize their expertise along with a wide array of equipment and tests to produce national championship-caliber athletes. Evaluation, goal-oriented programs, supervision and state-of-the-art facilities help Oklahoma athletes become bigger, faster, stronger and more flexible. The Robin Siegfried & Family Strength and Conditioning Complex, located in the Barry Switzer Center, has 13,000 square feet to facilitate the intensive training of OU athletes. The objective of the strength and conditioning program is to ensure each studentathlete in every sport is provided with a sound in-season and off-season program. This program of activity includes strength, conditioning, flexibility and nutrition. A strength and conditioning coordinator for each sport is provided to assist athletes in reaching the highest possible training levels. Located at the south end of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Barry Switzer Center houses administrative offices, the football locker room, the equipment room, the 8,000-square-foot Sports Medicine Facility and the 7,000-square-foot Touchdown Club Legends Lobby in addition to the Siegfried Strength and Conditioning Complex.

JERRY SCHMIDT - Director of Sports Enhancement 10 Years at Oklahoma Schmidt is recognized nationally as one of the best in the business and his work, along with his staff, serves as one of the key components to OU athletics excellence. SCOTT ANDERSON - Head Athletics Trainer 12 Years at Oklahoma The recently appointed president of the College Athletic Trainers’ Society, Anderson supervises a staff of nine full-time certified athletic trainers, one physical therapist, eight graduate assistants and 20 undergraduates who provide a bulk of the care for OU student-athletes. “I am honored to be appointed President of the College Athletic Trainers’ Society,” said Anderson. “This is an organization dedicated to the professional and personal life of the college athletic trainer as we expand the margin of safety for our student-athletes in sport.”

STATE-OF-THE-ART ADDITION Among the recent updates that increased OU’s athletic training space to 10,000 square feet were the addition of new hot and cold plunge hydrotherapy pools (shown left). The facility also includes a water rehabilitation pool that features an underwater treadmill, allowing athletes the opportunity to exercise after injury much sooner than on land. By taking away the weight bearing forces of gravity, an athlete is able to keep their running motion while waiting for the injury to heal, allowing the athlete to maintain cardiovascular endurance. The treadmill reaches a speed of approximately eight miles per hour and features underwater jets that provide increased resistance if needed. Underwater cameras allow the athletic trainers and physical therapists to view the running mechanics of the athlete, ensuring proper form and a speedy road to recovery. OTHER ADDITIONS - Two examinations rooms (Don H. O’Donoghue, M.D. Orthopedic Examination Room and E. Randy Eichner, M.D. Examination Room) - Hydroworx 2000 series - Hydroworx Cold Plunge - Two full body whirlpools - Monitored Rehab System shuttle - Digital x-ray

COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION The Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its athletes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals. For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma studentathletes by team physicians and OU’s certified athletic trainers. The University of Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available. The base of operation for the Sooners’ medical care is the state-of-the-art Henry J. Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer Center. Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation equipment that can best benefit the student-athletes. From simple therobands to taping tables, the new facility offers everything a school can have or hope to have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation for preventive medicine and for post-injury rehabilitation. The therapy room is supplied with the latest modalities on the market. SOONERSPORTS.COM - 95

THE UNIVERSITY facilties

GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND BEYOND With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.” OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics teams, and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 26 national championships, more than 200 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans. The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide firstclass facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999. “Great Expectations - The Campaign for Sooner Sports,” a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a five-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success for OU student-athletes. Among the accomplishments made possible by Great Expectations’ donors: an expanded, renovated and more beautiful football stadium; two completely new facilities for men’s and women’s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or renovated facilities for baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling, softball, tennis, soccer and track and field; new strength and conditioning and sports medicine centers and an indoor training center.

Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium The $75 million expansion and renovation of OU’s football stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast stone that characterize OU’s historic buildings. The expansion added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with several stateof-the-art features. This historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation. Everest Training Center Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-squarefoot center that includes a full-size playing field, simulated stadium lighting, a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing surface to allow for all kicking and throwing drills. McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics While the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium may be more familiar to OU supporters, the north side McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics is one of the most vital areas for OU’s entire athletics program as it is the center of student learning and athletics administration activities. Robin Siegfried and Family Strength and Conditioning Complex This 13,000-square-foot facility serves more than 500 athletes in OU’s 21 sports. The state-of-the-art facility inside the Barry Switzer Center has been central to OU’s success in recent years and helped develop OU’s reputation as a pioneer in the strength and conditioning field.

Barry Switzer Center A special feature is the Barry Switzer Center on the south side of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where OU’s storied football history is displayed, media conferences are held and recruits are entertained. The center recently experienced a significant upgrade to reflect this success and to fully realize the original vision as an exhibit area focusing on OU’s greatest victories and most successful coaching eras. Henry J. Freede, M.D., Sports Medicine Facility This 10,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 21 sports, ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and rehabilitation. Fred & Mary Eddy Jones Foundation Red Room The Red Room is where OU football players meet as a team or offensive/defensive units to watch motivational videos before each game. OU’s offense and defense post their goals for each week, and the Sooner coach holds his post-game press conference in this area. Headington Family Tennis Center Expansion The men’s and women’s tennis teams compete in one of the finest indoor venues in the country. Highlights of the new 55,000 square-foot facility include six airconditioned courts, championship-quality lighting and surface, and approximately 375 chair-back seats for spectators, which are elevated between the courts. The programs opened a 12-court outdoor championship facility in 2001 during the Great Expectations campaign that was particularly notable because it was donations exclusively from tennis letterwinners who made the new courts possible.

John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department and the soccer program enjoyed a $4.5 million expansion to the soccer stadium in 2006. In addition to a press box and a permanent grandstand, a multi-use building is located between John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road. The multi-purpose complex includes locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and offices for the studentathletes and coaches. Softball Hitting Facility The OU softball team broke ground on an indoor hitting facility in July 2008 that was completed prior to the 2009 season. In 2002, the Robert E. Young and Family Softball Locker Room was added to the Softball Complex, giving the team a spacious and comfortable gathering place for preparation and relaxation. In 2003, the softball field was named in honor of retired softball coach and women’s administrator Marita Hynes. Baseball Practice Facility With an estimated cost of $1 million, the OU baseball team opened an indoor hitting facility and practice infield at L. Dale Mitchell Park prior to the 2009 season. The 5,160-square -foot facility has three full-size hitting/pitching lanes and is air conditioned and heated. Previous renovations to L. Dale Mitchell Park were completed in 2001 when the press box underwent state-ofthe-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. The facility originally opened in 1982.

John Jacobs Track and Field Complex The project, which was completed in spring 2004, included a 25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new building includes track and field locker rooms, a sports medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other improvements include upgrades of field event areas, placing them directionally north/south and east/west to take advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000; new restrooms, concessions and the installation of championship lighting. Howard McCasland Field House The Field House is one of OU’s most historic buildings. Many OU alumni fondly recall the field house as the basketball program’s home, which it was until Lloyd Noble Center opened in 1975. In 2005, the Field House underwent a $6 million facelift that included a complete interior renovation comprised of a resanded and repainted floor with four efficient practice courts and chair-back seating that offers fans more comfort. In addition, the entire facility was repainted and improvements were made to the HVAC system, sound system, lighting and scoreboards. The Sooners have also enjoyed renovations done to the training room as well as an upgrade to both the volleyball and wrestling locker rooms. Wrestling Practice Facility Connected to the McCasland Field House, the Athletics Department launched a $2.4 million project in 2008. The bulk of the construction will include a $1.3 million addition to the Port Robertson Wrestling Center. The

facility serves as the practice venue for the Sooner wrestling team. Mary Jane Noble Women’s Basketball Center In 1975, the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation of Ardmore made the first million-dollar gift in OU history with its contribution to OU’s campaign to build a multipurpose arena. In 1999, the foundation made another gift to support the renovation of the original center, adding first-class matching facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Lloyd Noble Center addition includes two new full-sized practice courts for both basketball teams. Bob and Ann Coleman Men’s Basketball Center The nearly 63,000-square-feet Lloyd Noble Center addition offers a matched set of men’s and women’s facilities, including full-sized practice courts, new team and coaches’ locker rooms, training rooms and steam/ spa/sauna rooms. Office facilities and conference rooms provide views of the practice courts as special features and a shared weight training facility was created. The Kerr-McGee Courtside Club gives fans a venue for special events. Sam Viersen Gymnastics Center A state-of-the-art 7,000 square foot addition and a complete overhaul of the existing Sam Viersen Gymnastics Center was finalized in the spring of 2010, ensuring that the home of Oklahoma Gymnastics remains one of the nation’s premier collegiate training facilities. Funded entirely by private donations without the use of any state or university appropriated funds, the project included a complete renovation of the current gym, locker rooms, sports medicine training rooms and the awards recognition room.

Phase II construction began in November of 2005 and the new facility is comprised of spaces for student-athletes, coaches and fans of both soccer and tennis.

98 - 2011 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

“We are so grateful for the donors who helped us complete Phase II of the Soccer and Tennis facilities,” said OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. “ One of the unique aspects of the funding for our first phase was that almost every dollar was provided by former student-athletes. Many of those same individuals were so excited about the quality of the facility that they stepped forward again to finish the project and provide state-of-the-art facilities for our current student-athletes.” The OU soccer and tennis clubhouse features a training room, locker rooms, video and conference rooms, team facilities, and equipment, laundry and other support services. The press box is equipped with camera decks and a media level complete with the latest technologies. The attractive conference room/meeting area serves as a versatile location for team meetings and activities, and can be used to host special guests, parents, donors and media. In addition to increasing the seating capacity to 3,500, the complex also includes concessions, restrooms and a ticket booth to give fans a complete family atmosphere for watching Division I soccer. “We have an incredible facility that is second to none and the commitment to success is evident when you look at our facility,” said head coach Nicole Nelson. “Our facility is unique in that it allows the crowd to be very involved with what is happening in the game because they sit very close to the field. It is the perfect soccer environment and unique in the Big 12.”

HISTORY On Sept. 8, 2000, a new era began for the OU soccer program when the Sooners hosted SMU in the first game at the on-campus complex. Before the game, a ceremony, featuring OU Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione, was held to celebrate the opening of the complex. The first phase ($1.2 million) at the OU Soccer Complex featured a first-class, regulation field with top-of-the-line turf and drainage system. Since its initial season, the most noticeable addition of the project was the scoreboard which measures 37 feet in length and is close to 15 feet in height (standing 25 feet above ground). In 2002, the field was renamed to honor the donation made by John Crain. The $600,000 gift, all of which was applied to the soccer program, still remains one of the largest ever made to Sooner women’s athletics.

A UNIVERSITY TOWN WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP SPIRIT Norman was recently named by Money Magazine as No. 6 of America’s Best Places to Live among “small” cities or locations with a population between 50,000 and 300,000. Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 100,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small close-knit community. Since the Oklahoma landrush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents desired to have the first state university. When the first OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity. As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.” Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events. In the last five years alone, Norman has served as host of the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championship, an NCAA men’s golf regional, NCAA softball regionals, NCAA men’s and women’s gymnastics regionals, NCAA women’s tennis regionals, NCAA track and field regional and the NCAA women’s basketball regionals. In addition, the Big 12 Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Track and Field, Wrestling, Women’s Golf, and Women’s Gymnastics Championships were held in Norman. Cultural activities are unlimited in Norman, making it the ideal backdrop for the University of Oklahoma. As home to people of all ethnic and educational

backgrounds, the city has something to offer everyone. Norman is home to a variety of enriching events and attractions, including the Sooner Theater, which hosts a series of entertaining theatrical performances produced by locally-based talent and touring companies. The city also showcases local and regional artists in its annual May Fair. In addition, through the university’s School of Drama, School of Dance and the School of Music, stage productions are offered year round. The Medieval Fair has become a springtime tradition in Norman as people from around the country converge on the city for one weekend each April to partake in a fascinating look back in time. Each year, an area park is transformed into a festival of sights, sounds and tastes straight from the Middle Ages. Knights joust, jesters entertain and story tellers spin tales of a magical time in history. The $44 million Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, a state-of-theart facility designed to display a collection of historical and natural science items that trace the southwest’s development since prehistoric times, opened in May 2000. History buffs will also enjoy the Cleveland Country Historical House which holds exhibits relating to the development of this area of the state. For art enthusiasts, the Fred Jones Jr. Memorial Art Center houses permanent collections, nationally and world-renowned traveling exhibits as well as a yearly student art show. The museum has recently added the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionist paintings -- the single most important gift of art ever given to a U.S. public university. Maintaining a progressive approach to the future while remembering its history, Norman continues to be a well-balanced community, proud to be the home of the University of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the first city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position as the center of the state. It is because of this central location that Oklahoma City has become known as the home of America’s Western heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April 22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of “unassigned lands” at the sound of gunfire at high noon. Never before or since has such a “run” occurred anywhere on the earth. By the time the dust had settled on that historic day, many people had staked their claim at “Oklahoma Station,” an area which was destined to become Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911,

Oklahoma City officially became the capital after a statewide election moved the state seal from Guthrie. Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It is home of an NBA team, two semiprofessional sports teams and the host of the NCAA Women College Softball World Series and Big 12 Softball Championship. The Oklahoma RedHawks, 1996 American Association champions (then named the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the 13,066-seat AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, one of the plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The ballpark served as host to a 2004 NCAA baseball regional and the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 208 Big 12 Baseball Championships. Hockey mania runs rampant with the recent success of the Central Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Blazers. The Blazers won the CHL crown in 1996 and are yearly one of the league’s best teams. In addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and Senior PGA Tour events.

Tulsa Tulsa, the state’s second largest city, is located 100 miles to the northeast of Norman in the heart of Oklahoma’s Green Country. Ask people to describe Tulsa, and you’ll likely get many different answers. It was a city forever changed by the discovery of oil in 1901. It is home to art deco treasures and nationally renowned museums. Its African-American heritage left its mark, in both the business and music worlds. And it’s a city of nostalgia and special memories for countless Americans due to its location on historic Route 66. Tulsa is a cosmopolitan town that appeals to both young families and retirees. National touring exhibitions can be seen at the Philbrook Museum of Art, which was recently featured on the television program America’s Castles. For great western art, check out the Gilcrease Museum, and music legends are commemorated at Oklahoma’s Jazz Hall of Fame. Other unique attractions worth a stop include the Elsing Museum, Ida Dennie Willis Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys, Tulsa Air and Space Center and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art.
