With two of the three starting outfield jobs locked up, the Eagles will look to solidify a starting left fielder early on. First Team All-MAC and NFCA All-Great Lakes Region selection Michelle Kriegshauser is back in right for her senior season. Kriegshauser is one of the most decorated players in EMU history and has led the team in batting average each of the past two seasons. Last year, Kriegshauser hit a team-best .381 with 56 hits, while tying for the team lead with 35 RBIs. She also paced the team with 24 runs scored and 15 doubles. Kriegshauser enters her final go-around as the program record holder in career batting average (.355) and ranked inside the top-10 in home runs, doubles, and RBIs. Following the graduation of Abby Davidson, Hostetler will transition from shortstop to center field in her junior season. An ultra-athletic defender, Hostetler has spent the offseason working with Assistant Coach Kim Burke, perfecting her craft. Offensively, Hostetler set career-highs in doubles, triples, extra base hits, RBIs, and slugging percentage last year. The New Haven, Ind. native has also proven to be a threat on the base paths in her first two seasons as an Eagle, where she has been successful on 17-of-19 stolen base attempts. Left field is up for grabs as the Green and White ready for the season with Saporito, freshman Arielle Anderson, junior Alex Peters, sophomore Lucy Lopez, and junior Angel Schilke vying for the spot. Several players could earn spot starts in the outfield over the course of the season, but will be most utilized for speed or in pinch running opportunities. Schilke was one of the Eagles’ top base runners last season, swiping nine bags, while EMU has to fill the shoes of Elaine Whitbeck, who registered a team-high 12 steals in 2016. Lopez, Saporito, and Hostetler added four stolen bases apiece last season, and will be looked upon to improve on those numbers this spring. In the circle, first-year pitching coach Andrea Vangoss looks to mix experience with youth as EMU returns three hurlers and adds a freshman. Senior Abbie Minsker, junior Trisha Trujillo, and sophomore Nicolle Miranda are back and ready to build off of career years. Minsker made the most of a career-high 28 appearances, setting career-highs in wins (7), complete games (7), shutouts (2), and innings pitched (86.2). She also more than doubled her previous career strikeout total, fanning a career-best 43 in 2016. Trujillo made 29 appearances, a majority of which came in relief efforts, where she compiled a record of 3-5 and struck out a careerhigh 45. Miranda rounds out the trio of returners and proved to be the Eagles’ ace as a freshman. The Wilmington, Calif. product led the team in wins (9), complete games (11), innings pitched (165.1), and strikeouts (85). Freshman Savanah White is the lone newcomer to the group, and joins the pitching staff for her first collegiate season. A talented hurler, White brings a number of new pitches and a bump in speed that will keep opposing batters off-balance. In her final prep season, White owned an earned run average of 1.38 in the circle. She also helped her own cause, hitting .458 at the plate and stealing 19 bases.

2017 Outlook

Following the loss of six players to graduation, three of which were starters, the Green and White will rely on a roster full of youth in 2017. This season’s squad features four seniors, four juniors, six sophomores, and five freshmen. Coming off a year in which they fell just short of a Mid-American Conference Tournament berth, the Eagles look to get back on track this spring. EMU’s upperclassmen features eight players who have contributed in different facets of the game over the course of their careers. With three years of playing within Gentile’s system, the group is poised for a breakout year, while the sophomore class is expected to make a strong impact after contributing heavily in their freshmen campaigns. With five freshmen expected to make an impact when the Eagles open the season, Feb. 17, the class’ depth, versatility, and speed is an exciting addition to the 2017 squad. At catcher, the Green and White will be without Second Team All-MAC selection Aoife Duffy, but return senior Taylor Wagner and sophomore Sam Saporito. The Eagles also welcome freshman Sam Isaly into the fold. Duffy had a career-year in 2016, as injuries moved the Powell, Ohio native into the role of starting catcher, but with Wagner completely healthy Eastern Michigan should be able to transition smoothly. Wagner reeled in Second Team All-MAC honors in 2015 before injuries cut her season short and then kept her sidelined for a majority of the 2016 season. Saporito split time at catcher and in left field last season, and looks to build on her freshman year expriences, while Isaly has all the tools to make an immediate impact behind the plate. Around the infield, Eastern will see sophomore Olivia Logan return to first base, a job that she won outright as a freshman. Logan showed promise at the plate in her first collegiate season, hitting .279 at the dish and driving in 20, while tying for the team lead with 16 walks. At second base, junior Brandice Olmos returns to her post after a strong sophomore season. Olmos looks to build off of a season in which she set career-highs in batting average, hits, runs, RBIs, walks, and on-base percentage. On the other side of the bag, EMU will see a change at shortstop, as two-year starter Haley Hostetler transitions to the outfield. Replacing Hostetler is freshman Ariana Chretien. Chretien joins the Eagles after an outstanding prep career at Walled Lake Northern Commerce, where she was a four-time All-KLAA awardwinner. Rounding out the infield is sophomore Amanda Akles, who will handle primary duties at the hot corner. Akles started every game at third base for the Eagles a season ago, ultimately coming away with MAC All-Freshman Team honors. The La Habra, Calif. product tied for the team lead with 35 RBIs, while hitting .268 at the plate with a .464 slugging percentage. Freshman Danielle Rico is also expected to get playing time at second or third base, while senior Katy Wyman could see time at second.

EMU Softball Facilities

EMU Softball Facility Renovations Varsity Field has been the home of the Eagles since the 1980’s. The stadium has a renovated press box (1998) and includes a large bleacher seating area that can accommodate more than 500 fans. In 2007, a turf outdoor cage and new equipment room were added. The Eagles also have a new locker room with 25 lockers and a storage area at Varsity Field, added after the 2008 season. EMU Softball is excited about the new fence, sound system and backstop installed in 2012. Also during the fall of 2012, Eastern installed new dirt for both the field of play and the warning track at Varsity Field. In the 2015 season, the Eagles have added a brand new handicap accessible viewing platform behind home plate along with 6 foot sidewalks leading from the newly paved parking lot. Fans will also enjoy the new handicap accessible bathroom located behind the bleachers surrounding home plate. Additional lighting was also added to the parking lot as well as lining the newly installed sidewalks.

Above is a new digital scoreboard which is located at Varsity Field. The new scoreboard was installed prior to the 2012 campaign.

Melissa “Skeeter” Gentile

Head Coach // Years at EMU: Fourth Season // Alma Mater: Michigan, 2000

The 2017 season will mark the fourth year for Melissa “Skeeter” Gentile (pronounced ginTIL-ee) as the head coach of the EMU softball team. In her latest season at the helm, Gentile coached EMU to one of its best campaign’s since 2011. The Green and White saw three players honored by the Mid-American Conference following the conclusion of the season as Michelle Kriegshauser, Aoife Duffy, and Amanda Akles were recognized. Kriegshauser garnered All-MAC honors for the third consecutive season, this time landing on the first team while Duffy reeled in the first postseason honors of her career as a second team awardwinner. Akles became the fourth player in program history to earn a spot on the MAC All-Freshmen Team, and the first since Kriegshauser did so in 2013. Additionally, Gentile coached Kriegshauser to an All-Region worthy season, as the junior outfielder was named to the NFCA All-Great Lakes Region Second Team, becoming the first Eagle to claim the honor since 2008. As a team, the Eagles pieced together one of the best offensive seasons in EMU history.

The Mid-American Conference

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 69th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only ten football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was recently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the secondhighest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a sixyear rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament since 2004. The MAC had five programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan advanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buffalo senior forward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aodhan Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affiliate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate members over the last two seasons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second consecutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship. A MAC record 43 wrestlers competed at the NCAA Wrestling Championships and the MAC witnessed nine wrestlers named All-American – Joe Roth, Central Michigan (7th place at 133); Ian Miller, Kent State (4th place at 141); J’Den Cox, Missouri (1st place at 197); Drake Houdashelt, Missouri (5th place at 149); Dylan Peters, Northern Iowa (6th place at 125); Joe Colon, Northern Iowa (3rd place at 133); Joey Lazor, Northern Iowa (6th place at 141); Jeremy Johnson, Ohio (7th place at 285) and Jack Dechow, Old Dominion (4th place at 184).

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

Linda Milholland • Class of 2011 • 1.21 Career Earned Run Average

Linda Milhollard was a four-year letterwinner for Eastern Michigan University (1988, ‘89, ‘90, ‘91) where she became one of the top pitchers to ever don the Green and White uniform. Milholland finished her career with a remarkable 1.21 earned run average, a feat that still stands as the second-best mark in program history. She recorded the fourth-most career strikeouts with 310 and checked-in for 603 innings of work in the circle for the third-most by any EMU hurler. Her 54 career wins is third-best all-time, as is her 17 career complete-game shutouts. In 1989, Milholland pitched in 35 games for the sixth most by any pitcher in a season. On March 8,1988, she punched out 10 batters in a win against Winthrop which currently is tied for sixth for strikeouts in a game. As a junior, Milholland was named second-team All-Mid-American Conference in 1990 after going 14-6 for the Green and White. She would eventually go on and post a career-best 17 wins in 1991 during her senior campaign.

At the conclusion of the regular season, junior MIchelle Kriegshauser was named to the All-MAC First Team while senior Aoife Duffy garnered Second Team honors. Rounding out the Eagles’ postseason recognition was freshman Amanda Akles who became the sixth player in program history to be named to the MAC All-Freshmen Team.

The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

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

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Mission Statement

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

Our History

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

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

It shall, as often as necessary, elect a president of the institution under its supervision. He shall be the principal executive officer of the institution and be ex-officio a member of the board without the right to vote. The board may elect one of its members or may designate the president to preside at board meetings. Each board of control shall consist of eight members who shall hold office for terms of eight years, not more than two of which shall expire in the same year, and who shall be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Athletic Director Heather Lyke

3.0. Lyke is fond of saying great coaches and student-athletes need great teaching environments, and she has wasted no time spearheading a number of necessary capital upgrades, including: substantial completion of the EMU boathouse (rowing), ADA improvements and restrooms at Varsity Field (softball), bleachers and an ADA walkway at Scicluna Field (Soccer), a new Daktronics scoreboard, bleacher motors and electrical upgrades at Jones Natatorium (swimming), an upgraded student-athlete lounge area (football), new turf field (football), new basketball and volleyball practice court, remodeling and design of the EMU nutrition/ fueling station and a complete interior re-branding of the Convocation Center atrium, office suites, hallways and Eagles Nest suite. During the spring of 2015, Lyke and her administrative team also began designing the future of the EMU Athletics footprint. EMU Athletics contracted with construction design firm, AECOM, to create an athletics championship building plan which set forth the vision and priority plan for all facility improvements in the next five years. Lyke’s penchant for facility trend-setting and creative branding was on full display almost immediately with the installation of college football’s first gray Revolution Field Turf football field in 2014. As phase one of a comprehensive branding plan for EMU Football and Rynearson Stadium, the new turf received immediate recognition as a USA Today fan vote ranked EMU’s new field No. 2 in the nation behind only the University of Tennessee. With a field designed for players ‘tough enough to play on a parking lot,’ Lyke and her team have embraced South East Michigan’s blue collar roots and automotive history, inspiring an organic re-branding of Rynearson Stadium to become “The Factory.” This comprehensive campaign has included Factory signage upgrades throughout the stadium, a re-design of the football team’s studentathlete lounge, Factory driven merchandise options and in-game team and fan elements, along with a football game day website, EMUGameday.com, that takes fans inside The Factory for more details on its history and traditions. The campaign is emboldened by the ever-present slogan ‘Champions Built Here.’ Now a fixture throughout EMU facilities, social media and marketing materials, Champions Built Here aggressively pronounces that at EMU, and in The Factory, we build champions on the field, in the classroom and in life. It takes champions to build champions, and from day one Lyke set about upgrading the business model of Eastern Michigan Athletics. Just a few of the companies that have developed firstever partnerships with EMU during Lyke’s two year tenure include: IMG, Learfield Licensing, Aspire, Follett, Fanatics and Google. She has also re-negotiated lucrative new pouring rights and apparel contracts with Pepsi and Adidas that position EMU’s agreements as some of the most competitive in the Mid-American Conference. Lyke’s resource development focus has also led to the creation of two critical new groups already making major contributions to the future of the department. Eagles Pride, EMU Athletics’ first ever annual fund, was founded in 2014 complete with benefit structure and dedicated website to encourage enrollment. The fund is committed to providing financial support for all EMU

Heather Lyke EMU Vice President/Director of Athletic Eastern Michigan University’s (EMU’s) first ever Mid-American Conference (MAC) Cartwright Award for all-around athletic department excellence… EMU’s first ever MAC Jacoby Award for female athletic excellence… The highest overall GPA in EMU Athletic History (3.259)… The highest graduation rates in EMU Athletic History… 5000+ hours of student-athlete community service in a single year… ‘Champions Built Here’ has been more than an athletics mantra during the first three years of Heather Lyke’s tenure as EMU Vice President and Director of Athletics, it has defined a new era. Lyke, the 13th Director of Athletics in Eastern Michigan history, and the first woman to hold the full-time athletic director position at EMU, oversees the MAC’s most comprehensive and one of its most successful collegiate athletics programs. The department sponsors 21 fully-funded varsity sports with more than 550+ student-athletes regularly competing for MAC Championships and NCAA Championship selection. With a firm commitment to student-athlete experience and comprehensive excellence, Lyke has set about transforming EMU into the MAC’s dominant athletic program. Under her leadership EMU Athletics has hired 10 head coaches and 12 key administrators. During her three year tenure, EMU coaches and staff have won 15 MAC Coach of the Year Awards, and mentored 13 MAC team champions, 17 MAC Players of the Year, 80 MAC individual champions, 215 All-MAC student-athletes and 364 AllMAC Academic award winners. Lyke’s unwavering emphasis on academic achievement has supported student-athletes who have broken and reset EMU academic records under her watch. In 2013-14, EMU studentathletes turned in a then all-time high overall GPA of 3.159 in the fall, and followed it up with the second highest all-time GPA (3.145) in the winter. 67 student-athletes earned 4.0 GPAs during at least one term and 68% of all student-athletes had a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. EMU’s Graduation Success Rate of 77% and Federal Graduation Rate of 61% were also both new EMU records. Not to be outdone, the 2014-15 EMU fall student-athlete GPA of 3.242 set another all-time record, only to be bested once more when the winter GPA registered at 3.259. The academic year included 73% of all student-athletes, and 16 of 21 teams, achieving a GPA over 3.0. An astonishing 67 student-athletes achieved a 4.0 GPA during at least one term for the second year in row. EMU also held steady at its record 61% Federal Graduation rate and achieved its second highest ever Graduation Success Rate of 75%. Then in 2015-16, EMU posted a 3.194 GPA during the winter semester for its 13th straight term over a 3.0. Of EMU’s athletics programs, 17 teams finished the semester with a GPA better than

teams and providing donors an entry level platform to impact EMU Athletics and its student-athletes. 2015 also saw Lyke’s recruitment of the EMU Champions Advisory Board. This group of committed EMU donors plays a number of key roles for EMU Athletics as ambassadors, advocates, advisors and major donors to the department. This group is currently reviewing and participating in the championship building plan process. Lyke’s ability to build relationships has also extended into the Ypsilanti and Southeast Michigan community. With her undergraduate degree in education and a passion for reading, Lyke immediately set about establishing EMU Athletics as a key partner with the 2nd and 7 Foundation, whose goal is to “tackle illiteracy” by having student-athletes visit, deliver books and read to 2nd grade classrooms. In total, EMU averaged better than 10 community service hours per student-athlete in the 2014-15 academic year with 5000+ hours of service performed. In 2014-15 she also served as Chair of the Washtenaw County American Heart Association Heartwalk, setting a university record for fundraised dollars and registered walkers. Lyke has also reached out to some of Detroit’s most underfunded neighborhoods and schools by striking a long-term partnership with buildOn, a program for inner city youth to overcome the cycle of poverty through community service leadership. In 2014, Lyke cultivated an anonymous donation of $100,000 to the buildOn program and is developing an annual on-campus visit for all interested buildOn students to tour EMU and enjoy a weekend football game. An ardent proponent of growing the profession, Lyke is a sought after national speaker, presenter and leader in the business of college athletics.

GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.” EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 17 representatives in 52 years, 14 men and three women.

EMU Identity

NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname“Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.


EMU Identity

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off-campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the MidAmerican Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges). QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective studentathletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Christopher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or choppe3@emich.edu. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at: EMUEagles.com/compliance

Student-Athlete Support Services

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

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

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

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

EMU Identity

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


Eagles Pride

Eagles Pride provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, Eagles Pride (formerly the EMU Athletic Club) raises funds in three key areas for EMU's 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles Pride Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join Eagles Pride today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
