COACHING STAFF CRAIG ROBERTS Head Coach Fourth Season Park University ‘92 Craig Roberts, a native of Kidderminster, England, enters his fourth season at the helm of the women’s soccer program at The University of Tennessee at Martin. Roberts, who has a track record of quickly turning struggling programs into contenders, has led the Skyhawks to back-to-back historical seasons. In addition to setting the program’s record for wins in a single season with 10 for two straight seasons, Roberts also has guided the Skyhawks to its first two Ohio Valley Conference Tournament wins and advanced to the conference semifinals (2007) and conference finals (2008) for the first time in program history. In 2008, Roberts watched his team advance all the way to the OVC championship, en route to breaking or tying 12 program records, after breaking nine in 2007. The Skyhawks boasted a nationally-ranked defense and had three All-OVC players, and five OVC player of the week honorees, including one in four consecutive weeks. UT Martin’s historical 2007 season was enough to earn the distinction as the 16th most improved team in NCAA Division I.

Under Roberts’ direction, a duo of Skyhawks earned All-OVC accolades in 2007, while also earning conference player of the week honors twice in 2007.

Under Roberts’ direction the Skyhawks’ defense produced seven shutouts, the most in school history for a single season. That benchmark also included a stretch of six consecutive games that spanned over 656 minutes of scoreless soccer from Skyhawk opponents. UT Martin also returned players to the All-OVC first team under Roberts, while for the first time putting a player on the OVC AllNewcomer team along with receiving first ever national recognition in the form of a SoccerBuzz Goalkeeper of the Week nod. Roberts also currently serves as head coach for the TN93 team which is part of the Tennessee Olympic Development Program. Prior to coming to UT Martin, Roberts most recently was an assistant at Virginia Military Institute for two years where the team exceeded all expectations by breaking every school record and earning its first winning season in 16 years.

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK SKYHAWKS HUNGRY TO BUILD OFF OVC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE IN 2008 One year after advancing further than any other University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team has been before, the Skyhawks are eager to get back on the field in 2009 and prove they are legitimate contenders for the Ohio Valley Conference crown. The Skyhawks advanced to the OVC Tournament finals for the first time last November, breaking or tying 12 school records along the way, including most victories in a singleseason (10) and highest winning percentage for a single-season (.632). UT Martin head coach Craig Roberts will field a similar team in 2009, as the Skyhawks return 16 letterwinners, including eight of the 11 starters from last season’s OVC championship match. In addition, Roberts and assistant coaches Rachel Napoli and Brenton Saylor worked hard this offseason to add nine prized recruits, as the Skyhawks will look to gear up once again for a deep postseason run. “This year’s team brings increased athleticism, technical and tactical ability,” said Roberts, who will enter his fourth season as UT Martin head coach this fall. “I believe we will see a strong core with added talent this season. Each player has an unbelievable work rate with exceptional character.”

DEFENDERS A large ingredient to UT Martin’s potential success in 2009 will rest on the defense, who allowed the lowest goals-against average in program history last season (13 goals allowed in 19 games; 0.65 GAA). The Skyhawks will have to fill the absence of departing seniors and starting lineup

The Skyhawks celebrate after advancing to the program’s first-ever Ohio Valley Conference championship match. stalwarts Caitlin Smith and Kristina Goldstine, but will return All-OVC first team junior Danielle Rogers, who will serve as team captain in 2009. The defense is the most experienced portion of the 2009 roster, as senior Nuala Deans (21 career matches played) and junior Stephanie Nilica (three assists in 12 matches in 2008) also logged significant playing time last season. Sophomor es Kimberley Boldt (three matches played in 2008) and Jessica Hunt (two matches played in 2008) and freshman Kristen Nichols will also push for minutes. “The tradition of a strong back line will continue,” Roberts said. “The back line will strengthen this year with our incoming freshmen who will increase the overall athleticism.”

MIDFIELDERS On paper, UT Martin might have one of the deepest midfield options in program history. Heading that core

2009 UT Martin Soccer

will be senior Jamie Furstenberg, who was named to the All-OVC Tournament team for her play over the span of the Skyhawks’ three postseason matches. Also returning is sophomore Kelly Ann Hutchinson (two goals, one assist in 2008), who was named an All-OVC Newcomer in 2008 as a true freshman. The Skyhawk midfielders will boast plenty of firepower with Brooke Robertson (four game-winning goals as a freshman in 2008), Jenni Duffy (five career assists in two seasons) and Danielle deGuzman (17 matches played in 2008) joining newcomers Alex Windell, Hillary Hitz, Kendyl Wilson and Jordan Warnement. Roberts will also welcome the return of redshirt sophomore Marissa Wood-Sternburgh, who played in 17 matches as a true freshman in 2007 before missing the entire 2008 season with a knee injury. “I believe we have a variety of personnel in this area,” Roberts said. “This will allow us to apply tactics that we have been unable to do in the


2009 SEASON OUTLOOK past. The collection of strong central players will bring a high level of play and the freshmen will bring a unique dimension to our midfield.”

FORWARDS The Skyhawk offense, who out-shot opponents by almost a two-to-one margin (342 to 179) last season, will be led by senior Sophie Cox (19 points in 57 career games) and 2008 All-OVC Newcomer Melissa Govea, who attempted a team-high 58 shots with three goals and an assist last season as a true freshman. Roberts also expects big things from sophomore returnees Katie Imperiale (four game-winning goals in 2008), Tori Taylor (one goal, one assist in 2008) as well as incoming freshman Amy Iwanicki. “Speed, strength, skill and courage will all be prevalent across the top line,” Roberts said. “Amy and Sophie have the ability to be strong threats down the middle whereas Tori, Melissa and Katie will bring a contrasting approach on the flanks.”

GOALKEEPERS Perhaps the biggest storyline, however, as the 2009 season approaches will be the goalkeeper position. A pair of members from the incoming recruiting class are goalkeepers, as the Skyhawks were hit hard by the graduation of Johanna Rathbun and Ashley Angerer. Rathbun leaves the Skyhawk program atop four records in UT Martin history, including most career shutouts (10) and lowest career GAA (0.78), and Angerer (0.87 career GAA over two seasons) will always be remembered for her clutch performance in the penalty kick shootout victory over Eastern Kentucky in the OVC Tournament semifinals last season. Heading into the fall practice season,

Roberts claims the starting goalkeeper job is up for grabs amongst Linnsie McMahan and Aubrey Buehler. “We are delighted with the incoming recruits, as each individual has the ability to compete,” Roberts said. “It will be a very competitive season for the starting position.”

by Florida Gulf Coast, where they will play FGCU and Stetson in the first weekend in September. UT Martin will then return home for a pair of weekend matches, playing host to Missouri-Kansas City and Southern Mississippi in the PUMA Skyhawk Invitational. After a match at SEC member Vanderbilt, the Skyhawks will face SIU Edwardsville at home before beginning the OVC season at Tennessee Tech on Sept. 25. The OVC schedule looms as the toughest league slate in the history of the conference, before the OVC Tournament is held at the site of the regular season champions on Nov. 56, and 8. “The schedule will bring challenges from a variety of states,” Roberts said. “Each game contains different styles, tactics, conditions and environments. By participating in these different surroundings, we believe it will prepare us for the OVC Tournament.”

All-OVC first teamer Danielle Rogers will head the back line of the defense as team captain in 2009.

PRESEASON POLL

SCHEDULE The young Skyhawks (20 of the 26 players are underclassmen) will be tested early and often, as the schedule features matches with four Atlantic Sun Conference opponents, as well as one match each with DivisionI members of the Southeastern Conference, Conference USA, and the Summit League. UT Martin will also face off against future OVC member SIU Edwardsville before starting out the OVC portion of its schedule. The Skyhawks open its season facing four consecutive A-Sun opponents, hosting Lipscomb before traveling to Belmont in late August. The Skyhawks then will take part in a tournament in Fort Myers, Fla. hosted

2009 UT Martin Soccer


2008 SEASON RECAP SKYHAWKS SHATTER SEVERAL SCHOOL RECORDS EN ROUTE TO FIRST OVC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE Under third-year head coach Craig Roberts, The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team has reached new heights as a program on and off the field, with the season culminating in an Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Finals appearance, the first of many new accomplishments and broken records the Skyhawks (10-5-4) produced in 2008. “In 2008, we were delighted with the progression of the program,” Roberts said. “The fact that we came one step closer and have continually improved the last three years is very fulfilling. There is continued interest in UT Martin soccer and our team is getting respect, which is something that we have worked on.” The 2008 season officially concluded at the team’s postseason banquet one week after the season, as the following individual awards were announced: Most Valuable Defender (Kristina Goldstine); Most Valuable Midfielder (Kelly Ann Hutchinson); Most Valuable Forward (Melissa Govea); Most Improved Player (Brooke Robertson); and the Most Valuable Player (Danielle Rogers). All voting was conducted by the players. When Roberts was given the keys to the Skyhawk program in 2006, he inherited a squad that was coming off an eighth-place finish in the OVC. Since then, the Skyhawks have gradually shown improvement, appearing in the OVC Tournament Quarterfinals in 2006. That was followed by the program’s first-ever OVC Tournament Semifinals berth in 2007, breaking a school record by winning 10 matches. This past season, UT Martin once again showed improvement

34

and finished the conference season with a third-place finish (4-2-2), before making the OVC Tournament Championship match for the first time in school history. The Skyhawks fell 10 to Morehead State, but established themselves as a new powerhouse in the OVC, not losing back-to-back matches all season. “Despite being the smallest school in the conference, we finished as runner-up and were one match away from a conference title,” Roberts said. “We also beat nationally-ranked Pacific on our California trip and other teams who are about to play in the NCAA Tournament.” The win totals and level of play displayed by the Skyhawks haven’t been the only things that have been going up under Roberts’ watch – the student-athlete’s Grade Point Averages have been as well. In 2006, Roberts’ first year, the team’s GPA was a strong 3.125. The next season, the squad won the OVC’s Academic Achievement Award for posting the highest GPA of any soccer team in the conference, placing 94 percent of the roster on the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll. So far this season, the UT Martin soccer team boasts a 3.66 GPA, which is sure to merit some postseason All-Academic awards. “We have steadily progressed every year and that trend will hopefully continue,” Roberts said. “We’re bringing the most out of our players and that’s very important. Our girls continue to impress us by meeting demands, putting forward our expectations for high academic standards, and their dedication to reach the OVC Finals again.”

Senior goalkeeper Johanna Rathbun left the program holding two single season and two individual records. Along the road of the 2008 season, the Skyhawks tied the program record for most wins in one season (10), and set the record for highest season winning percentage (.632). UT Martin’s suffocating defense also produced program records for fewest goalkeeper saves with 71, and the lowest goals-against average (0.67). Not to be outdone, the Skyhawk offense also set a record of their own, by attempting 39 shots in a win over Mississippi Valley State on Aug. 31. On the season, the UT Martin offense outshot their opponents by almost a two-to-one margin (342 to 179), while putting 151 of their shot attempts on goal. Individually, seniors Caitlin Smith and Johanna Rathbun left their mark on the all-time record books. Smith broke three individual career records – matches played (76), matches started (75), and minutes played (6,671).


2008 SEASON RECAP Meanwhile, Rathbun broke two individual career records in shutouts (10), and goals-against average (0.78), while also tying the individual season record of victories (nine), and setting the new individual goals-against average record (0.67) for one season. The Skyhawks either tied or set 12 new program records in 2008, after breaking nine records last season. Another group of firsts that the Skyhawks accomplished in 2008 were the number of OVC Player of the Week honorees they received. Their five awards broke the previous mark of four set in 2003 and 2006. Earlier this season, the Skyhawks were responsible for a Conference Player of the Week in four consecutive weeks, a first in program history: Katie Imperiale won Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending Aug. 26; Rogers was named Defensive Player of the Week for the week ending Sept. 2; Hutchinson earned Defensive Player of the Week for the week ending Sept. 9; and Johanna Rathbun was named Goalkeeper of the Week for the week ending Sept. 16. Rogers also earned her second award for the week ending Oct. 28, making her the

UT Martin concluded the regular season with three All-OVC Team honorees, with Rogers earning First

Team status, and freshmen Govea and Hutchinson earning a spot on the All-OVC Newcomer Team. Rogers and Hutchinson also were named to the All-OVC Tournament team, along with junior midfielder Jamie Furstenberg. Six seniors completed their outstanding career with the Skyhawks in 2008 (Smith, Rathbun, Goldstine, Ashley Angerer, Jody Kiers and Sarah Jett). “It was big for our 12 freshmen to go through a championship experience,” Roberts said. “It’s exciting for our program because we are only losing three of our 11 girls who were in the starting lineup for the OVC Championship game.”

The Skyhawk soccer team was recognized at a women’s basketball game for placing 96 percent of the roster on the Honor Roll.

MARTIN - A Belmont goal at the 28th minute of play provided the lone offensive spark for both teams, as the visiting Bruins defeated the University of Tennessee at Martin at Skyhawk Field, 1-0.

MARTIN - Freshman Victoria Taylor’s goal in the 20th minute of play gave the University of Tennessee at Martin’s soccer team the only goal they would need in a 1-0 victory over Mississippi Valley State at Skyhawk Field.

In a match that was delayed 30 minutes due to storms in the northwest Tennessee region, the match was about as even as you could get, statistically speaking. The Skyhawks attempted 15 shots to Belmont’s 16, and Belmont had six corner kicks to UT Martin’s five. Belmont was whistled for 10 fouls, Junior midfielder Sophie Cox got the while the Skyhawks committed nine. Skyhawks (1-0-0) on the board in the 14th minute, taking a beautiful pass “I’m disappointed in the loss, but from 35 yards out from Caitlin Smith as a whole, it was good to get a very to send a shot past the diving AAMU competitive game,” Skyhawks head goalkeeper from point-blank range. coach Craig Roberts said. “We had a lot of offensive power, but we got Cox’s goal gave UT Martin unlucky and didn’t finish our chances.” a 1-0 advantage at the half. After Belmont freshman Gretchen UT Martin’s Katie Imperiale scored Sutch knocked in a goal from the from 10 yards out on an assist left side on an assist from Annie from Kristina Goldstine to give the Musacchio, the game was filled with Skyhawks an insurance goal at the solid back-and-forth play, and some 56:31 mark, which would turn out spectacular goalkeeping on both ends. to be the eventual game-winner. In the 65th minute, Belmont’s Jayme Just as the game was seemingly in hand Trocino fired a shot that looked to be for UT Martin, AAMU’s LeTisha Davis over Skyhawk goalkeeper Johanna scored on a straight-on kick from 40 Rathbun’s head.

Alabama Thirteen minutes later, UT Martin A&M, after not attempting a single sophomore Stephanie Nilica hooked a shot in the first half, attempted six shot toward the goal, but Belmont’s Sari shots, four of which came on goal. Lin jumped and knocked the ball over the top of the goal, just as Rathbun had “Offensively, we did very well, we just done earlier. Rathbun ended the match need to convert our chances,” Roberts with seven saves, while Lin tallied five. said. “This gave everybody a true insight to the standard that we need to The Skyhawks continually rushed be playing at. It was a positive start, but the goal in the closing minutes of we have a lot of areas to work on still.” the match, but couldn’t find the net.

The UT Martin offense found several holes throughout the match, attempting 39 shots - 16 on goal and the defense held MVSU to seven shots, four on goal. The 39 shots was a new program record, besting the 38 the Skyhawks took in an 8-0 victory over Belmont on Sept. 17, 2003.

“We have a few pointers and corrections we need to make here and there, but we’re confident we’ll get back on the right track,” Roberts said.

Senior goalkeeper Ashley Angerer started for the first time this season, notching three saves in all 90 minutes and earning her first career shutout.

“I was pleased with the result, it was a good start,” UT Martin head coach Craig Roberts said. “I felt like we were always in control of the game. We got to play some freshman in actual game situations and that will absolutely be valuable during the course of the season.”

Today’s match also marked the 30th shutout in program history, and 16th of head coach Craig Roberts’ tenure. “Today was just one of those days where our effort was there, we just simply didn’t convert our chances,” Roberts said. “We were attacking, we were very strong getting the ball downfield, and we maintained ourselves defensively. I was pleased with our overall performance.” Taylor’s goal came off a deflection from a Skyhawk corner kick, one of 18 on the day for UT Martin. Sophomore Danielle Rogers found the ball in traffic, and scooped a pass to Taylor, who found the back of the net for her first goal of her career. Rogers’ goal wound up being the game-winner for the Skyhawks, who improve to 2-1 on the season. Taylor was one of the nine true freshmen to see playing time for the Skyhawks, and Roberts has noticed that the group has adapted well to the collegiate level of the game so far. “We once again got to introduce some of our freshmen to some game experiences, and they have performed well,” Roberts said. “I really thought Devan Lowe had a big impact on today’s match.”

MURRAY, Ky. - Both The University of Tennessee at Martin Skyhawks and the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels played an evenly-played match with no score through two overtimes. With the game knotted at 3-3 in the penalty kick shootout session, the stage was set for junior Sophie Cox to be a hero, and she came through in the clutch with a goal that gave UT Martin their first-ever OVC Championship appearance to win the match 0-0 (4-3 Penalty Kicks). With the win, the Skyhawks improved to 2-6-1 all-time in the OVC Tournament, and 2-1-1 under head coach Craig Roberts.

Eastern Kentucky came out aggressive in the second half, outshooting UT Martin early before both teams attempted seven shots in the second period.

MURRAY, Ky. - A goal by Morehead State’s Bethany Davidson in the 59th minute today was the only offense either team could muster today, as The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team came up short of an OVC Tournament Championship at Cutchin Field in Murray, Ky., 1-0. The Skyhawks end the 2008 season with a record of 10-5-4, tying the all-time UT Martin record for wins in one season. The two teams appeared focus and ready to achieve the task at hand early, playing tight soccer and taking little chances at making a mistake for almost all of the first 45 minutes. After Morehead broke through with Davidson’s goal, the Skyhawks kept inserting fresh legs for a final push to tie the match and send it into overtime. However, the Morehead State defense held off several strong attempts at the goal and time ran out for the Skyhawks, ending arguably its best season in program history. The Skyhawks outshot Morehead State 13 to 12, with both teams putting five shots on goal. Jenni Duffy led UT Martin with five shots, while Brooke Robertson, Sophie Cox, and Alex VanSise each attempted two shots. Caitlin Smith and Jamie Furstenberg also attempted one shot apiece for the Skyhawks.

Senior Johanna Rathbun notched four saves in net for UT Martin, who capped off a season in which they had advanced further than any team in UT Martin history - the OVC finals.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 62nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to AfricanAmericans. A sampling of former OVC football stars, some of whom were All-Americans during their collegiate careers before achieving stardom at the professional ranks, include Jim Youngblood and Larry Schreiber (Tennessee Tech), Phil Simms (Morehead State), Virgil Livers and Dale Lindsey (Western Kentucky), Myron Guyton and Chad Bratzke (Eastern Kentucky), Cortland Finnegan (Samford) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois). In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. Football wasn’t the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In 1955, the OVC became only the second sixmember league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The Conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only Conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Since that time, the OVC has recorded some of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps the most famous moment came in 1987, when Austin Peay came from fourth place in the regular season to win the OVC Tournament and earn the league’s automatic bid. The Governors drew powerful Illinois, and were such big underdogs, that ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale promised to stand on his head if APSU won the game. After a 68-67 victory over the Illini, and a narrow 90-87 overtime loss to eventual Final Four participant Providence in the second round, Vitale made good on his promise in a visit to Clarksville two months later. Murray State added to the OVC’s string of upsets in 1988 when it knocked off 14th-ranked North Carolina State, 78-75. MSU nearly went on to the Sweet 16 that year, losing to eventual national champion Kansas, 61-58. In 1990 as a No. 16 seed, Murray State took No. 1 seed Michigan State into overtime before falling 75-71; that game still marks the closest a No. 16 seed has come to knocking off a No. 1 in men’s tournament action. In 2007-08, UT Martin guard Lester Hudson became the first men’s Division I player to record a quadruple-double in a game, when he registered 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a victory over Central Baptist College. Hudson, who ranked fourth in

60

scoring nationally as a junior, returned for his senior season in 200809 and was second nationally in scoring (behind Davidson’s Stephen Curry) at 27.5 points a contest. Hudson earned numerous honors (including OVC Player of the Year and OVC Male Athlete of the Year in each 2008 and 2009 and All-American status from several outlets) before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 58 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Hudson became the first draft pick for the league since 2004 and only the third pick of the last decade for the OVC. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982.. The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and two-sport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Trenton Hassell (Austin Peay), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois), baseball players Jamie Walker (Austin Peay) and George Sherrill (Austin Peay) and professional golfer Jeff Sluman (Tennessee Tech). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). In 2007 the Conference had two teams in the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament for the first time in league history, former OVC member Samford earned an at-large selection while Southeast Missouri was the Conference’s automatic bid. In 2009 it was OVC softball that accomplished several firsts as UT Martin (tournament champion) and Jacksonville State (at-large) were each selected for the NCAA Championship. Jacksonville State would take it a step farther by winning the Knoxville Regional (beating No. 13 national seed Tennessee along the way) to become the first OVC softball program to advance to a Super Regional. Jax State would fall to No. 4 Alabama in that Super Regional but finished the season 43-16 (19-2 OVC) and ranked 21st nationally in the ESPN. com/USA Softball poll and 24th nationally in the USA Today/NFCA poll. A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. A year later (2009) the league had a Major League Baseball First Round Compensation Round pick (Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Kehrer who was No. 48 overall) and NBA Second Round pick (UT Martin’s Lester Hudson) in the same season. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Construction will begin on a $1,000,000 baseball/softball building in November, 2009 with the debt service being paid from referendum funds. Over 63 percent of the student body voted in favor of the referendum in April 2007. Dane oversaw the building and completion of the Bob Carroll Football Building, a $2.5 million project. Funding for the project came from private gifts. The 17,000-square-foot facility has office space for all football personnel, meeting rooms, a locker room, a training room and a magnificent multi-purpose room overlooking H.K. Grantham Field. With

the momentum from of an OVC champhionship season in 2006, then Chancellor Nick Dunagan, provided institutional matching funds when Skyhawk fans donated $250,000 toward a new synthetic surface for Hardy M.

In addition he is a peer reviewer in the NCAA Division I Certification Program. He has performed peer reviews at the University of Delaware, Western Kentucky University, Robert Morris University and Texas State University. Dane will serve as the chairman of the OVC Athletic Directors Council in 2010-2011. He also serves as the administrative liaison for the Ohio Valley Conference men’s golf coaches. Before he was named athletics director in 2000, Dane served as vice chancellor for business and finance from 19872000. In 1999, he chaired a commission to study the role and funding of intercollegiate athletics at UT Martin. The study commission developed a plan that allowed scholarship football to continue, and since 2000 Dane has worked with the university’s administration to restore funding for football scholarships to the same level as other OVC institutions. He has held various positions at UT Martin since 1979. He is an Air Force veteran and a three-year baseball letter winner at Tennessee Tech University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and worked for Price Waterhouse and Company before beginning his association with UT Martin. He earned his MBA from UT Martin in 1984.

Northwest Tennessee encompasses eight rural counties: Lake, Obion, Weakley, Henry, Dyer, Gibson, Carroll and Benton. From Lake and Dyer counties bordering the great Mississippi River to Benton and Henry counties bordering the Tennessee River, Northwest Tennessee abounds in outdoor recreational activity opportunities. Lake and Obion counties are home to Reelfoot Lake State Park and two national wildlife refuge areas. Reelfoot Lake is the only natural lake in Tennessee and popular history says the lake was formed when the region subsided after the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–1812, and that the Mississippi River flowed backward for 10-24 hours to fill it. Henry county is home to Paris Landing State Park located on the western shore of the Tennessee River which is dammed to form Kentucky Lake.

The Skyhawk Mascot

UT MARTIN FIGHT SONG...

In 1995 the UT Martin Skyhawks took flight for the first time as the old Pacer nickname was replaced by a new moniker for the next century of UT SKYHAWKS fight for the orange and blue Martin athletics. The first athletic contest under the new nickname was a rousing Fight to VICTORY success for UT Martin as the Skyhawks defeated Bethel College 97-7 in the first Fly down the field and never to yield game of the 1995 football season. While the Skyhawk nickname is relatively GO SKYHAWKS new, its origins can actually be traced back to the Orange and Blue! early 1900s and the predecessor of UT Martin, Blue! Blue! Blue! Hall-Moody Institute, founded in 1900. Athletic Go Go Go and Fight Fight Fight teams for the small Baptist teachers college On to VICTORY! were called Sky-Pilots, a 1920s slang reference On to fame and win the game for U…T…M! to traveling Baptist preachers, the eventual career path taken by many Hall-Moody graduates at the time. UT Martin’s nickname is a unique combination of history and nature, paying homage to the past accomplishments of the Sky-Pilots while representing the soaring, skilled attributes of the hawk, a native of the marshes and plains of West Tennessee. Meanwhile, the aviator themed costume of the Skyhawk mascot represents UT Martin’s role as a training ground for aviators during World War II. Skyhawks is actually the fourth nickname used by UT Martin teams in its history since the founding of Hall-Moody. In 1927, the school became a junior college in the University of Tennessee system. Athletic teams were named the Junior Vols. In 1967, the college was renamed the University of Tennessee at Martin and, eventually, the nickname “Pacers” was selected to represent the “pace setting” university. In conjunction with UT Martin’s move to the Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Division 1-A status, a campus committee spearheaded the search for a new nickname. With the aid of a Nashville public-relations firm and input from students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans, the UT Martin committee researched, selected and implemented a new, distinctive, strong, gender-neutral nickname, eventually replacing all references to Pacers with Skyhawks.

SKYHAWK TRADITIONS

Why Skyhawks? UT Martin’s official mascot became the Skyhawks in 1995 when a group of wise thinkers captured UT Martin’s history in a three-fold manner: 1. The first educational institution on the site of UT Martin was Hall-Moody Bible Institute. The school’s athletic teams were called “sky pilots”, a frontier term for preachers in that day, but perhaps the students were thinking of the glamorous flying aces of World War I. 2. During World War II, UT Junior College contracted with the Naval War Training Service to help train pilots, who completed their flight training at an airport located on the current site of Westview High School. 3. Red-tail hawks are indigenous to the west Tennessee region.

UT Martin Alma Mater On the plains of Tennessee, Campus green and towering trees; You lie shining, U. T.
