YEAR TWO OF POTTER ERA BEGINS AT OKLAHOMA Head coach Matt Potter’s second season with OU soccer to feature core of returners, 15 talented newcomers. If you’re going to practice soccer outside in Oklahoma during the month of August, you’ve got to find a way to avoid the heat. When the soccer team reported for their first day of preseason practices in early August, they accomplished just that by hitting the field at 7:30 a.m. As the sun started to peek over the horizon in Norman, the 2013 OU soccer season was beginning on John Crain Field. “As a coach, you are always intrigued to see the players after a long break,” Oklahoma head coach Matt Potter said. “You quickly get a feel for who has done what they said they would do, as well as the energy and buzz of being reunited. This group did not disappoint. The energy and enthusiasm has been exceptional.” Potter arrived at OU last season after successfully rebuilding the Washington State program into a perennial NCAA tournament contender. His goals are no less lofty at Oklahoma, and the athletic department has been quick to provide the resources necessary for the team to reach those aspirations. With some of the finest soccer facilities in the nation and a staff dedicated to the success of its student-athletes on and off the field, Potter’s vision for the OU soccer program is already beginning to take root. After capturing seven wins in 2012—the most by a rookie head coach in program history—Potter and his staff will take the field this fall looking to continue implementing their vision and philosophy in the student-athletes they coach. 6 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

Assisted by associate head coach Graeme Abel, assistant coach Kacey Burke, volunteer assistant Matt Armstrong and director of student-athlete performance enhancement Buddy Huttanus, Potter is on a mission to take OU to the next level as a soccer program. The 2012 Sooners (7-9-4, 3-3-2 Big 12) finished their campaign with a thirdstraight Big 12 tournament appearance (a first in program history) under Potter’s leadership. After losing a core group of upperclassmen that included Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Renae Cuellar and four-year starting goalkeeper Kelsey Devonshire, Potter and his staff will debut a retooled roster full of young talent. There will be plenty of challenges in store this fall for the Sooners. OU fields a young roster that includes 15 newcomers, 12 of whom are true freshmen getting their first taste of college soccer. Couple that with one of the nation’s most demanding schedules and it becomes clear that Oklahoma’s young squad will be asked to rise to the occasion many times this season. OU will face eight NCAA tournament teams from the 2012 season; Florida State (20-4-0) made a Final Four appearance last fall, while BYU (20-2-2) was an Elite Eight squad. Other opponents from last season’s championship include Baylor (19-1-5), UF (19-5-1), North Texas (16-5-2), Tennessee (14-5-3), Texas Tech (16-6-1) and West Virginia (11-5-4).

“This schedule truly speaks to our intent to be an elite program,” Potter said. “Our opinion is that you play the best to be the best. With games against top SEC, ACC and the Pac-12 teams, Coach Abel has put together a schedule that competes against some of the top teams in the country.” Overall, Oklahoma will play 18 regular season contests in 2013, including seven home games at John Crain Field in the OU Soccer Complex. The Sooners’ home slate includes Big 12 matchups against in-state rival Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Iowa State and 2012 conference regular season champion West Virginia. Big 12 play will open for the Sooners in Waco, Texas on Sept. 27 against Baylor. OU will then return to Norman to open a three-game home stand on Oct. 4 against Oklahoma State. Conference rivals Texas Tech (Oct. 11), Iowa State (Oct. 13) and West Virginia (Oct. 25) will also make the journey to Norman for Big 12 action. The Sooners will face a conference road schedule that includes games at TCU (Oct. 18), Texas (Oct. 20) and Kansas (Nov. 1). Potter’s staff expects to ask a great deal of their newcomers early in the year. A skilled and hungry group, Potter and his staff have been impressed by the attitudes of their newcomers early in the fall. “The freshman class has embraced all that we have thrown at them,” Potter said. “Their youth, energy and work ethic are credits to their careers prior to joining us. Their progress and the way they have embraced everything we have thrown at them is exciting.” A key part of OU’s success this season will be the core of 11 returners, particularly five returning starters in Emily Bowman, Zoe Dickson, Abby Hodgen, Molly Richey

f

and Kathryn Watson. Potter has high expectations for the group on the field, in the locker room and in the classroom. “To see the progress our returners have made and to see them reaping the reward of their hard work is what this is all about,” Potter said.” “We have a group who is showing they can be true role models, and with such a large incoming class, it was important for them to meet that expectation. I’m pleased for them and the direction our program is heading.”

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE The Big 12 enters its 18th year as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of second-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 17 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 52 NCAA team titles and 537 individual national championships. The trophy case added more hardware in 2012-13 as Texas won the NCAA Championship in women’s volleyball and the Oklahoma State men’s cross country team captured its third national title in the last four seasons. Oklahoma State won the Western crown in equestrian while Oklahoma became one of just five programs to capture multiple national championships in softball. The year ended with Kansas hoisting its first NCAA trophy in women’s outdoor track and field. Additionally, the Big 12 picked up 20 individual national titles. Several other sports also made strong national showings a year ago. Big 12 football sent a national-record 90 percent of its teams to bowl games. Women’s basketball claimed the top position in conference RPI for the sixth consecutive season and was the only league to place 80 percent of its teams in postseason play and 70 percent in the NCAA Championship. Baylor won the Big 12’s first men’s basketball NIT title. Kansas indoor track & field, Oklahoma women’s gymnastics and Oklahoma State wrestling finished as runner-up in their respective national championships. Additionally, Texas joined Oklahoma in the Softball College World Series while K-State and Oklahoma competed in baseball Super Regionals. Individually, Baylor center Brittney Griner earned consensus women’s basketball national player of the year for the second season. Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart was named National Freshman of the Year by two different outlets, while Jeff Withey of Kansas was selected the National Association of Basketball Coaches Defensive Player of the Year. Texas volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott received American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year honors. Oklahoma pitcher Keilani Ricketts repeated as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, giving the Big 12 two of the three all-time multiple winners as former Texas player Cat Osterman earned the award three times. Ricketts also claimed the Honda Award for softball for the second consecutive season and the Honda Cup, given to the nation’s top female collegiate athlete by the Collegiate Women’s Sports Awards. Kansas track & field head coach Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate each earned national accolades as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) awarded the two with outdoor coach of the year honors. The Big 12 lays claim to five Heisman Trophy winners since 1996 and has had a finalist in 12 of its 17 seasons – the most of any league. Seventeen athletes have earned major individual awards in football in the past five campaigns. Overall, more than 1,400 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition in the past five years alone. Through its first 17 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 16 of the sports it sponsors. The Conference ranks second with seven appearances in the BCS National Championship Game and is second with 96 football consensus All-America selections in that time. League squads combined to lead the nation in women’s basketball attendance 13 consecutive years and the Big 12 is the only conference to surpass the one-million mark in season attendance – doing so six times. In men’s basketball, the league is the only conference in the nation where every coach has guided a team to the NCAA Tournament, including six coaches that have led teams to the Final Four. During the last nine years a total of 31 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 16 consecutive 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. National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma) and Sam Acho (Texas) were selected to receive Today’s Top VIII Awards – one of the NCAA’s top honors. It recognizes student-athletes who completed their athletic eligibility during 2010-11 for success on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. In the last two seasons, three student-athletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 89 Award. That honor showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. In its short history, the Big 12 has had 537 Academic All-America recipients, averaging more than 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Nine times in the past eight years a league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport. The Big 12 had plenty of success overall in the classroom the last four years, as the Conference boasted 80 student-athletes earning Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition through the fall of 2012. The Big 12 can take pride in other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Oklahoma State women’s basketball was the inaugural recipient of the “Together We R” Team Award in 2012, recognizing programs that have strived to succeed in the face of adversity. Following a devastating tornado south of Oklahoma City just before the Big 12 Baseball Championship in 2013, several league baseball teams along with other student-athletes, coaches and former Conference players contributed help in a variety of ways. Plus, the Conference contributed $200,000 to the relief efforts. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 313 scholars have received near $2.2 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 17 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. 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. Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 37 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 postseason 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. In its first 17 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.8 billion to its member institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas. SOONERSPORTS.COM - 11

MATT POTTER

Head Coach | Second Season West London College of Brunel University, ‘92 Now in his second season at the helm of the Oklahoma soccer program, head coach Matt Potter has already begun to see his vision for the team take shape. A proven leader and builder of successful programs, Potter arrived at OU in December 2011 with the goal of positioning the Sooners as one of the nation’s elite soccer teams. Potter led Oklahoma to a 7-9-4 record in his first season as head coach, the most by a rookie head coach in Sooner history. Potter’s squad also qualified to the program’s third consecutive Big 12 tournament, another first for the program. Perhaps one of the crowning moments of the season for his team was a 1-0 upset win over in-state rival and then-No. 3 ranked Oklahoma State in Norman on Sept. 7, 2012. In addition to the achievements of the team as a whole, Potter’s guidance led to multiple individuals to successful seasons. Senior forward Renae Cuellar had a breakout season at OU after transferring from Arizona. Cuellar was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, the first Sooner in program history to earn the title. Cuellar was also named to the NCAA Division I All-Central Region first team by the National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA) and captured first All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Newcomer team honors. A hallmark of any Potter-led team is achievement in the classroom as well as on the field, and the 2012 Sooners followed suit under his leadership. The squad earned Team Academic Award Recognition from the NSCAA, carrying a team grade point average of 3.25. In addition, senior Katharine Nutman earned 2012 Capital One Academic All-District 7 Women’s Soccer first team honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma, Potter established Washington State’s program into one of the Pac-12’s elite with a school record 88 wins (88-69-26 overall) at the helm, including five double-digit win seasons and three appearances in the NCAA tournament. The Cougars advanced into the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2011 and 2009. Prior to his arrival, Washington State advanced to three NCAA tournaments since the program’s inception in 1989. While coaching 30 all-conference selections and seven players that have taken part of national team camps or competitions at Washington State, the program’s success in the classroom did not go unnoticed during Potter’s tenure. He has helped mentor 103 student-athletes that have earned academic all-conference accolades and Washington State received the NSCAA Team Academic Award in 14 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

GRAEME ABEL

Associate Head Coach | Fourth Season Brescia University, ‘94 Graeme Abel enters his second season as a member of head coach Matt Potter’s coaching staff in 2013. Originally hired as an assistant in 2012, Abel was promoted to associate head coach during the offseason--a title granted to reflect Potter’s confidence in Abel’s ability as a coach at OU. During the 2012 season, Abel’s work with the goalkeepers resulted in a record-breaking season for senior Kelsey Devonshire. Under Abel’s guidance, Devonshire recorded a trio of shutouts and 101 saves in her final season as a Sooner, placing her second all-time in shutouts (17 career) and first in saves (390 career). A native of Liverpool, England, Abel returned to Norman in 2012 as an assistant after serving as the OU goalkeeper coach during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. During the 2010 and 2011 campaigns, Abel worked with the Cougar goalkeepers and Potter at Washington State. “To have a coach of Graeme’s caliber speaks to the ambition of the program we are trying to build here at the University of Oklahoma.” Potter said at Abel’s hiring. “Graeme has familiarity with the University and within the state, and has established ties in the region.” In 2011, Washington State enjoyed one of its best seasons in program history with Potter at the helm and Abel working with the goalkeepers. The Cougars won 12 games a year ago and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, anchored by a defense that limited the opposition to one goal or less in 20 of the 23 games played. In addition, freshman goalkeeper Gurveen Clair posted seven of the team’s nine shutouts last season with a 0.74 goalsagainst average. The nine shutouts ranks fourth all-time at Washington State and even more impressive, six of the shutouts came in Pac-12 play, a conference that produced the 2011 NCAA National Champion in Stanford. In 2008, Abel made his first trek to Norman to help then-head coach Nicole Nelson reestablish the program. In addition to working with the OU goalkeepers, Abel also assisted with the program’s recruiting efforts and helped recruit several of the Sooners on the current roster. Also while on the OU staff, Abel worked a camp with the Under-20 U.S. Women’s National Team in 2009, while also working with the Region III Olympic Development Program. “It’s exciting to come back to OU and I’m looking forward to helping Matt push the program on to new heights and achievements,” said Abel. “I’d like to thank

Off the playing field, she is involved with the team’s travel, community involvement and academics. Burke arrived at OU with an impressive soccer pedigree as a player and a coach. A former U.S. National Team member from 2006-2010, Burke was also a twotime All-American at the University of North Carolina. A native of Arlington, Texas, Burke’s collegiate coaching experience includes serving as a volunteer assistant in 2008 at Southern Methodist University and as an assistant coach at Texas Tech University in 2007.

BUDDY HUTTANUS Student-Athlete Performance Enhancement | Second Season New Mexico State, ‘09

MATT ARMSTRONG

Volunteer Asst. Coach | First Season University of New Mexico, ‘12

Joseph “Buddy” Huttanus (Hut-TAN-us) enters his second season with the OU soccer program as the Director of Student-Athlete Performance Enhancement in 2013. Huttanus joined head coach Matt Potter’s staff in June of 2012 as an important component of Potter’s vision for the future of the Sooner program.

Matt Armstrong joined head coach Matt Potter’s staff in 2013 as a volunteer assistant coach. Armstrong brings an impressive background as both a player and coach to Potter’s staff and handles video and statistical analysis and player development for the Sooners.

Huttanus is responsible for the day-to-day operations off the field, including team travel, serving as a liaison with athletic communications, strength and conditioning, athletics administration and community, alumni and booster club relations.

“With a youth national team pedigree as a player, a passion for the game and a desire to coach at the highest levels, Matt complements and fits the vision and philosophy of our program,” Potter said upon Armstrong’s hiring. “He has the personality and credentials to help us reach the standards and expectations we set for ourselves, as well as those of our athletic department as a whole.”

“We are delighted that Buddy has accepted the position and challenge to join our program,” said Potter upon Huttanus’s hiring. “Buddy will lead the daily operations of the program and I am thankful to the administration for the opportunity to add Buddy as we build our team and move closer to having the pieces in position to fulfill the ambition and vision of the program.” Prior to his arrival in Norman, Huttanus worked the last three years in Scottsdale, Ariz., with Endurance Rehabilitation and The Center for Athletic Performance and Physical Therapy. In addition to working as an athletic trainer, Huttanus developed weight and conditioning programs and helped manage athletes in regards to fitness plans and goals. Potter and Huttanus share a connection having both worked with prominent soccer clubs in the state of Arizona. “Buddy is a certified trainer and a certified strength and conditioning specialist with a successful career in the field of elite athletic performance,” added Potter. “As our sport grows he is in a group of professionals that constantly are looking at ways to advance our sport as it relates to performance. With a soccer background, he fits perfectly within the personality of our staff and adds another dimension to the resources available to our student-athletes.” Huttanus received his bachelor of science degree in athletic training education from New Mexico State University in 2009.

Prior to OU, Armstrong spent a season as a second assitant coach on the men’s soccer staff at UNLV. He has also coached as an undergraduate assistant at New Mexico (2011) and guided U-17 boys’ team Rio Vista United in Albuquerque to a state championship in 2011. Armstrong is familiar with the landscape of NCAA soccer, having played at New Mexico and Notre Dame as an undergraduate. While a member of the Fighting Irish squad, Armstrong was named to the Soccer America and College Soccer News All-Freshman teams. He was also an honorable mention All-Big East pick as a freshman at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish reached the NCAA tournament all three seasons that Armstrong was on the squad, including a quarterfinals appearance in 2007 and second round appearance sin 2008 and 2009. Armstrong wrapped up his collegiate career at New Mexico in 2010, leading the Lobos to the second round of the NCAA Tournament as a senior. After receiving his degree from UNM, he played professionally for HFC Haarlem in Holland and E.C. Vitoria in Bahia, Brazil. “Matt’s presence in our program gives our staff another dimension as we continue to serve as a resource to our student-athletes,” Potter said. “He joins what I consider to be an exceptional team behind our team of student-athletes.” Armstrong graduated from New Mexico in the summer of 2012 with a bachelor of arts degree in university studies.

“I’m very grateful and thankful for coach Potter and the athletic department for giving me this opportunity,” said Huttanus. “It will be very exciting to work with the student-athletes and help them achieve all of their goals. The University of Oklahoma is a premier institution. I look forward to being a part of the university as well as the future of Sooner soccer.”

Staff and Administration

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 workrelease program in state history. 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 22 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

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

When Joe Castiglione came to Oklahoma, he inherited one of the most storied programs in college athletics, and he set about the business of making it better. Some who would argue that the past 15 years represent the best of the best. With eight national championships and 60 conference titles, including seven in the 2012-13 academic year, during his tenure, Castiglione’s record is certainly one of great merit. An all-time best finish of seventh in the annual Director’s Cup standings following the 2012-13 academic year adds to the Sooner story. So does the kind of academic performance that produced a combined grade point average of more than 3.00 among the nearly 600 OU student-athletes and a record 151 graduates in 2013. A place where competitive dreams come true and academic excellence are the expectations, not the exceptions, has been created at OU by Castiglione with the full support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s Board of Regents. The 11th director of athletics at OU, Castiglione arrived on the Sooner campus in summer of 1998 and what he found was nothing like what we see today. He made a number of changes, and, in the process, created a team of administrators, coaches and support staff who pursue and achieve lofty goals under the banner of ethical integrity. Proof of the overall excellence of the program is demonstrated by the annual Learfield Director’s Cup rankings. The seventh-place finish in 2012-13 extended a four-year streak of top-15 finishes for OU. It also marked the 13th time in the 15-year Castiglione tenure that OU has ranked in the top 30. Oklahoma’s latest finish was built through overall success in competition. OU sent all 10 spring sport teams to the postseason and a total of eight teams, led by the 2013 softball team’s national championship, finished in the top 10 throughout the season. That number included runner-up NCAA finishes by the men’s and women’s gymnastics as well as top-10 results from men’s cross country (eighth), women’s basketball (ninth), baseball (ninth), men’s tennis (ninth) and women’s golf (ninth). 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.” Castiglione believes that excellence on the field of completion should correlate with the classroom. OU student-athletes recorded a cumulative GPA over 3.00 for the 2012-13 academic year, a first. In addition, 10 Sooner programs recorded a perfect 1,000 APR, tied for best in the Big 12. Since arriving at OU, Castiglione has insisted that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner. The department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 15 years, making it one of the few Division I programs which remain totally self-sustaining. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis. The most recent demonstration of that commitment led to a partnership with President Boren’s office that eliminated the admission fee at OU’s internationally known Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics provides more than $8 million annually to OU’s academics budget. Facility improvement and construction at athletics facilities has been carried out at a record pace and Castiglione takes pride in the fact that those improvements have been paid for with private money. The most recent facility is the $75 million Headington Hall, which provides housing for the general student population as well as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art building opened in August 2013 and makes OU the leader in providing an engaging community living option for OU students. Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President 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 April of 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri. In recognition of the many achievements of his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. In June, the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame named him the 2013 recipient of the John L. Toner Award, presented annually by the NFF to an athletic director who has demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication

to college athletics and particularly college football. His peers have honored him as well. In November 2012, the United States Sports Academy named him the winner of the Carl Maddox Sports Management Award. 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 department received the 2007 PRISM Award, 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. The achievement that may bring him the most pride came in May 2007 when he completed a master’s of education degree from OU. Subsequently, he became an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching graduate classes in Marketing, Development and Leadership in Higher Education. He was recently named to the Jeannine Rainbolt Colege of Education Board of Advocates. Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history included projects that impact each of OU’s 21 sports and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. The campaign ended three years later with more than $125 million raised and that figure has grown to more than $330 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. 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 the national and conference level. He was recently re-appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for a three-year term, ending after the 2015-16 season after filling a term that ended following the 2012-2013 season. He chaired the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the NCAA Working Group on Collegiate Model-Rules Committee, the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served three terms as the 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 has served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group, the United States Olympic Committee Athlete Career and Education Strategic Working Group and the NCAA Football Issues Committee of which he now serves as chairman. A former member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. In November 2011, he was named to his hometown, Broward County (Fla.) Sports Hall of Fame. His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman, recently serving his third term as OU’s campus co-chair, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign. He encourages student-athletes and athletics staff to participate in those efforts as well, and in 2012-13, OU Athletics representatives logged a staggering 2,561 hours of community service. 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.

2012 Review Oklahoma Soccer

SOONERS BUILD FOUNDATION IN POTTER’S FIRST YEAR

Matt Potter arrived at Oklahoma with a vision of establishing the Sooner soccer program as one of the nation’s elite. After one year at OU, Potter and his staff are already well on their way to achieving that goal. Joined by assistants Graeme Abel and Kacey Burke, Potter guided Oklahoma to a 7-9-4 record in 2012. The team’s seven victories were the most by a rookie head coach in program history. The Sooners’ were strongest at home throughout the season, posting five victories at John Crain Field in Norman. Those victories included triumphs over then-No. 3 Oklahoma State on Sept. 7 in front of a Bedlam crowd of 2,475 fans. OU posted a record of 4-6-2 in non-conference action, including wins over Nebraska, Nicholls State and Northern Arizona. The Sooners also finished with ties in double-overtime against Vanderbilt and Rice.

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT REWIND

After posting a 3-3-2 record in conference play during the regular season, Potter’s squad earned a berth in the Big 12 tournament for the third consecutive season, a program-first for Oklahoma. The Sooners notched regular season wins over Kansas, TCU and Iowa State to secure their spot, while also tying with Baylor and Oklahoma State in doubleovertime. OU entered the championship with the No. 5 seed overall, facing No. 4 Texas in the first round of play on Oct. 31. The Longhorns took a 3-0 victory over the Sooners, wrapping up OU’s 2012 season.

ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 PICKS

For the ninth consecutive season, OU earned at least five first team Academic All-Big 12 selections during the 2012 season. Eight Sooners earned first team distinction, while an additional four captured second team honors. 46 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

Bailey Boulware, Emily Bowman, Alison Farrell, Kali Fournier, Katharine Nutman, Brianna Turang, Molly Richey and Kathryn Watson all pulled down first team honors. Nutman made her third-straight appearance on the first team, notching a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the second year in a row. Boulware, Turang and Watson each made their second consecutive appearance. Second team selections for OU included Kelsey Devonshire, Abby Hodgen, Jessica Johnson and Kelly Price.

ACADEMIC HONORS

Potter’s track record of instituting success in the classroom and on the field followed him to his first year at Oklahoma. The 2012 Sooner squad earned Team Academic Award Recognition from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), carrying a team grade point average of 3.25 In addition, senior Katharine Nutman earned 2012 Capital One Academic All-District 7 Women’s Soccer First Team recognition from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

CUELLAR’S STELLAR CAMPAIGN

Senior forward Renae Cuellar provided a powerful spark to the Sooner lineup at forward, netting 12 goals in 20 starts. She also logged five game-winning goals and a pair of assists throughout the season. Cuellar’s efforts earned her recognition throughout the season at both the conference and national levels. Cuellar opened the fall with a pair of Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors, earning the award twice in the month of October. After scoring two gamewinning goals against Kansas and TCU, Cuellar also captured Disney Soccer/ National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Player of the Week accolades. As the season wound to a close, the awards kept coming for the La Puente, Calif., native. She was chosen to the NCAA Division I All-Central Region first team by the NSCAA and captured first team All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-


Newcomer team honors. Cuellar capped her season by earning the title of Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. She was the first OU student-athlete in program history to earn the award. Cuellar’s 12 goals and 26 points both tied for third-most in a season all-time in OU history.

DEVONSHIRE’S RECORD-BREAKING SEASON

Kelsey Devonshire secured her place as one of the finest goalkeepers in OU program history as a senior, recording a trio of shutouts and 101 saves on the season. After setting an Oklahoma freshman record with six shutouts in 2009, Devonshire followed up her stellar debut with six more shutouts in 2010. As a junior, Devonshire blanked BYU and Kansas to bring her career total to 14. With three shutouts as a senior against Oklahoma State, Kansas and Iowa State in 2013, Devonshire finished her time at OU with 17 career shutouts. That total is good for second all-time in program history. Below is a look at the all-time leaders at OU in shutouts: 1. Catharine Wade (2001-04) ... 18 2. Kelsey Devonshire (2009-12) ... 17 3. Jennifer Nichols (2004-07) ... 14 Devonshire’s 101 saves also earned her the individual career record at Oklahoma, boosting her total of 390 over four seasons past Wade and Nichols. Below is a look at the all-time saves leaders at OU: 1. Kelsey Devonshire (2009-12) ... 390 2. Catherine Wade (2001-04) ... 345 3. Jennifer Nichols (2004-07) ... 303

OKLAHOMA SOCCER TIME LINE 1996 The Oklahoma soccer program began and My Ta scored the first goal in school history on Sept. 6, 1996, against Regis. 1999 Christen Secrest was named the Sooners’ first All-Big 12 honoree in 1999. Secrest was named to the second team after starting all 18 games on defense. 2000 In his second year, Randy Evans is named the Big 12 Coach of the Year and the Central Region Coach of the Year (NSCAA) after OU finishes 10-9-1 overall and 4-5-1 in the Big 12. 2001 The Sooners post a then-program record 11 wins and 36 goals en route to making their second consecutive Big 12 postseason appearance. 2002 Logan Womack records the first hat trick in OU history on Sept. 27 against Baylor. OU won 4-2 and Womack finished her career as OU’s all-time leading goal-scorer. 2003 The program earns its first top 25 ranking and also makes its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. OU fell 1-0 to then-No. 7 Tennessee in the first round. 2005 The Sooners, led by Lauren MacIver, set program records for wins (13), goals (37), assists (40) and points (114) scored in a season. 2006 The OU Soccer Complex reopens after a $4.5 million renovation in the offseason that added locker rooms, increased seating and a press box. The facility originally opened in 2000 and was named John Crain Field in 2002. 2008 Whitney Palmer becomes one of three Sooners in school history to collect Big 12 honors in multiple years, joining three-time honorees Lauren MacIver and Logan Womack. She eventually collected her third and fourth honors in 2009 and 2010. 2009 The Sooners start off the season with a 6-4-1 record including the program’s first win over Texas A&M. OU topped the then-No. 13 Aggies, 3-2, for the first win in 15 all-time series meetings. 2010 The Sooners make a triumphant return to the postseason and make an appearance in the Big 12 Championship game after knocking off Texas and Texas A&M. Despite falling in the title match, OU recorded 12 wins, one shy of the program record, and tied the OU record for goals scored with 37 while returning to the NCAA Tournament. 2011 Matt Potter is named the fourth head coach in the history of the program after nine successful years at Washington State. Potter guided the Cougars to three NCAAA Tournaments, including a second appearance in 2009 and in 2011. 2011 Renae Cullear becomes the first Sooner in history to capture Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors after notching 12 goals in 20 starts.

Campus Experience

A PACESETTER FOR PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE U.S.

“The University of Oklahoma is truly a great university. It is becoming a pacesetter for public higher education in the United States. We must no longer keep the university’s excellence a secret! It’s time for us to let others know about the strengths of our university and our determination to make it even better.” - University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren

THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA OVERVIEW

Created by the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature in 1890, the University of Oklahoma is a doctoral degree-granting research university serving the educational, cultural, economic and health-care needs of the state, region and nation. The Norman campus serves as home to all of the university’s academic programs except health-related fields.

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.

Athletics Excellence

SUCCESS ACROSS THE BOARD The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 27 team national championships including eight in men’s gymnastics, seven in football, seven in wrestling, two in baseball, two in softball and one in men’s golf. The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It inspires OU’s student-athletes to greater heights every season. In 2012-13, the Sooners recorded their best-ever finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup at No. 7. Nineteen of Oklahoma’s 21 teams advanced to postseason competition during the 2012-13 school year. The softball team won the Women’s College World Series championship, while both men’s and women’s gymnastics compiled NCAA runner-up finishes to bolster the Sooners’ final point total. In total, OU boasted top 10 finishes in eight sports, including men’s cross country (eighth), women’s basketball (ninth), baseball (ninth), men’s tennis (ninth) and women’s golf (ninth). 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 2008-2009, OU went 12-2 in football, 30-6 in men’s basketball and 32-5 in women’s basketball. The 74-win mark was previously set during the 2001-2002 season by none other than the Oklahoma Sooners. That mark has since been exceeded only once by the University of Louisville in 2012-13 (75). The University of Oklahoma still

Traditions 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

82 - 2013 2012 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).

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.

CRIMSON AND CREAM

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.

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

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.

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!

Community Service

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS THE SOONERS

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.

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.

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.

Past community service events for OU student-athletes have included: • Women’s basketball players and coaches visited the Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City and participated in the Sooner Big Sis Program, an event in which each student-athlete selects a Norman elementary school class and visits the class weekly for an hour.

“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.”

• The Oklahoma baseball team annually attends Willow Springs Boys Ranch to spend time with children and host a barbeque, in addition to visiting the “Miracle League” in Edmond and working with children at local elementary schools.

The University of Oklahoma men’s golf program has held an annual Clubs for Kids event in early May at the Lakeview Golf Course in Ardmore, Okla. Providing clubs and instruction, the event allows more than 1,000 southeastern Oklahoma youth an opportunity to interact with the OU golf team and coaches.

• The OU men’s gymnastics team participated in Adopt-An-Angel, Safe Trick-OrTreat and volunteered at various elementary schools in the Norman area. The team earned the Volunteer of the Year award by the Norman United Way and Junior League of Norman. for its work at Norman’s Cleveland Elementary School.

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, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and the Children’s Miracle Network, 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.

• The OU Athletics Department participated in “Think if You Drink,” a community campaign to help promote safe and responsible drinking among student-athletes and students on campus.

“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.”

• OU student-athletes and coaches made contact with more than 1,000 Norman Public Schools students in 20 schools as visiting readers, tutors, mentors and other special events including speaking engagements.

84 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

• The football program participated in Special Spectators for children with terminal illnesses by visiting and playing with the children.


• The OU women’s volleyball team visited Santa Fe High School, mentored children during lunch at Norman Lutheran Church, led FCA at Alcott Middle School, refereed and taught children’s volleyball for Jumping Juniors and the Homeschool Association and spoke to the young adults at Tulsa High School.

• More than 450 hours of community service were put in by OU student-athletes through the Life Skills Program. Events included reading to school children, leading middle school FCA meetings, speaking to elementary school children, and visits to children’s hospital.

• Oklahoma men’s basketball has been involved with community organizations including the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts of America, Citizens Caring for Children, Children’s Miracle Network, Food and Shelter for Friends, Sooner Reading Program, the Oklahoma Blood Institute, the Oklahoma Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and Special Olympics, among others.

• The football, basketball, baseball, and gymnastics teams were involved with Special Spectators, a national organization that invites seriously ill children to attend a sporting event and meet the players and coaches. The Sooners hosted more than 20 children from several Oklahoma City hospitals who attended sporting events on the OU campus.

• Bridge Builders, the African American Student-Athlete Network, organized student outreach programs at Marcus Garvey Leadership Charter School and Moon Middle School helping to impart ideas and strategies to young people that will help them be successful in sports as well as life. • Oklahoma women’s basketball players supported the Special Olympics in Norman and Noble. The players were honorary hug givers and cheerleaders, encouraging Oklahoma’s special stars. The Sooners also assisted the United Way in its Meals on Wheels program. OU delivered, sacked and decorated bags that contained food items for emergency use during the winter months. • Sooner football players spent more than 300 hours involved in various community projects during the course of the year including the Clinic for Kids, visiting elementary schools and conducting the annual food drive. • OU student-athletes hosted Safe Trick-or-Treat and provided candy, games and safe entertainment for hundreds of local children and their families at the Lloyd Noble Center.

• OU participated in the Adopt-an-Angel Toy Drive in which toys and clothing were given by student–athletes and department staff to the Salvation Army, Women’s Resource Center and individuals in need during the holiday season. • The Sooners sponsored a campus-wide blood drive with the American Red Cross with more than 100 donors whose donations will help save the lives of more than 500 people. • Members of the OU Athletics Department, including teams, coaching staffs and support staffs, all teamed up to provide aid throughout the state of Oklahoma following the May 2013 tornadoes that impacted communities such as Moore, El Reno and Shawnee. While the University provided distaster relief housing and the athletics department drove t-shirt sales to benefit United Way and the American Red Cross, teams also volunteered on a variety of levels. Many OU athletic teams visited communities to help with cleanup, unload and pass out water, food and other supplies, and meet with the victims of the devastating storms.

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 - 87

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: 27 national championships, more than 200 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans. The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide first-class 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

88 - 2013 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with several state-of-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.

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.

Everest Training Center Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-square-foot 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.

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.

McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics While the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord FamilyOklahoma 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.

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 air-conditioned 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-of-the-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. 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 and 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 home of OU’s basketball program, 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 multi-purpose 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 the men’s and women’s 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. Headington Hall Student Housing Facility A $75 million living space that opened in summer 2013, Headington Hall houses 380 OU students, including 180 student-athletes. The facility is named in honor of former OU tennis player Tim Headington, one of many alums to give generously to the project. The facility boasts apartmentstyle accomodations in two-and four-bedroom units and was funded by the University of Oklahoma Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. Headington Hall also features a central dining facility, computer labs, study rooms and a theatre. Of particular note in the hall is the Sam Bradford Training Table, a state-of-the-art dining facility that fulfills the dietary and nutritional needs of all OU student-athletes.

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.

90 - 2013 2012 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

“ 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 studentathletes.”

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.

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. 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. In 2006, the complex enjoyed a $4.5 million renovation that included a state-ofthe-art press box and grandstand, joined by a multi-use building located between the soccer complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road. Most recently, the words “Oklahoma Sooners” were added to the front of the press box to further enhance the appearance of the facility. In addition, the locker room and team room on the second floor were decorated and furnished for the coaches and student-athletes. The program also added state-of-the art dugouts on the north side of the complex that give the home and visiting teams a permanent structure during contests. Unique in the Big 12 Conference, the bench areas also feature heating vents and ceiling fans to help weather the elements.

THE UNIVERSITY

Norman, OKC and Tulsa

A UNIVERSITY TOWN WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP SPIRIT

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
