2006 LADY TIGER ROSTER


In 2006, Memphis will feature a roster of nine freshmen, 11 sophomores, fi ve juniors and one senior. But even with only one upperclassman, the Tigers boast a strong core of 13 returning letterwinners and six re-turning starters. The team’s sophomores and juniors gained valuable experience facing a diffi cult Confer-ence USA schedule in 2005, and four transfers appear ready to contribute. “You’re always learning in this sport,” head coach Richie Grant said. “Last year we had kind of an imbal-ance of a few senior players and a lot of young players. There really wasn’t anyone in between. But I think our freshman players gained a lot of valuable experience by fi ghting through a tough schedule last year, and that can only help them be more productive as sophomores this year. I’m also counting on some of our juniors who had success on the 2004 conference championship team. It’s very important that those lads draw on those expe-riences coming up this year. Overall, I feel we have a good core of players with a lot of experience coming into this season.”

After starting the 2005 season with four-consecu-tive wins, the Tigers lost four of their next six matches. However, Memphis was able to rebound from their mid-season struggles and advance to the conference tourna-ment semifi nals and an 8-8-2 record. The Tigers showed further progress during their 2006 spring schedule by posting a 4-2 record. Memphis lost to Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs Kansas City and FC Dallas, however the Tigers shut out all four am-atuer opponents including Irish teams Colaiste Ide and Portmarnock. The Tigers will have their work cut out for them once again as this year’s schedule promises strong op-position from conference rivals and non-conference na-tional powers. However, Grant’s goals remain the same. “We need to be competing to win the conference which means that we need to put ourselves in the con-ference tournament at the end of the year with a decent seed,” Grant said. “The second thing is that we want to give ourselves an opportunity to compete beyond the conference tournament. We can do that by staying com-petitive and getting enough wins on our schedule so the selection commitee takes notice, and I think we have a very good chance this year. We just need to win.”

COACHES

The entire coaching staff returns from 2005 as Grant begins his 12th season as a head coach and his eighth season at the helm of the Memphis men’s soc-cer program. The two-time C-USA Coach of the Year has guided the Tigers to a 69-53-8 record and a school record .561 winning percentage over the last seven sea-sons. Prior to joining the Tigers, Grant was the head coach at Lambuth University where he won three con-ference titles. In 11 seasons as a head coach, Grant owns a 122-82-10 record. Robert Nicholson rejoins the Tigers for his fourth

campaign as assistant coach and Remco de Jong returns to Memphis for his second year coaching the goalkeepers. “Each coach brings a tremendous amount to the program,” Grant said. “Their expertise and knowledge of all the different areas of the game is a great advantage to us. Robbie’s done a great job with the strength and conditioning program, and Remco has been wonderful with the goalkeepers. It’s good to know our players are in good hands with the coaching staff that we have.”

GOALKEEPERS

One of the most promising areas for the Tigers entering 2006 is in net. Junior Tyler Strom returns to Memphis after a break-through sophomore season. The 6-5 Strom took over the starting netminder’s role mid-way through the 2005 campaign and went on to record 75 saves on 92 shots over 11 games. His .815 save per-centage led all of Conference USA. Redshirt freshman Robert Mueller looked impres-sive during the spring, recording a 1-0 shutout against Coaliste Ide. The Killeen, Texas native received all-dis-trict honors all four years in high school. True freshman Michael Goodlett has also seen success at the high school level and should be available to step up if needed. “We’re looking for Tyler to continue where he left off last season,” Grant said. “He had some very strong performances for us. He’s very athletic and his game improved a lot last year. Tyler has to have a good season for us to do well. He knows that and he’s taken that seri-ously in his preparation for this year. “Michael (Goodlett) is very athletic and Robert (Mueller) got some good experience last spring, but we’re relying on Tyler to lead us.”

DEFENDERS

The Tiger defense will be one of the stronger units on Grant’s squad. Junior Michael Coburn will begin his third season as a starter. Jamie Gilbert, a transfer from Vanderbilt and the Tigers’ lone senior, will join Coburn in anchoring the backfi eld. Junior Adam Montgomery should see signifi cant time and provide additional leadership. Robert Sausa-mann has recovered from a spring shoulder injury and should contribute at fullback and provide much-needed depth and size. Sophomores Thomas Hyland, Frank Judice, and Tomo Koyano and freshman Rick Alleman should pro-

T he Memphis men’s soccer team looks to regain the form that led them to Conference USA regular season and tournament championships in 2004. To do so, the Tigers will rely on a

group of talented underclassmen to replace Columbus Crew draft pick Dayton O’Brien and D.C. United selection Andy Metcalf, as well as three other seniors who graduated after the 2005 campaign.

2006 TIGER PREVIEW


GOALKEEPERSReturning Starters: Tyler Strom Jr. 13 gp 17 ga 75 svs Other Key Returner: Robert Mueller R-Fr.Key Newcomers: Michael Goodlett Fr.

Strom will look to repeat an outstanding 2005 campaign when he led C-USA in save percent-age. Redshirt freshman Robert Mueller and incoming freshman Michael Goodlett give the Tigers three big athletic netminders.

DEFENDERSReturning Starters: Michael Coburn Jr. 18 gp 2 g 1 a Thomas Hyland So. 16 gp 1 g 2 a Robert Sausaman So. 15 gp 1 g 0 aOther Key Returnees: Frank Judice So. 6 gp 0 g 0 a Tomo Koyano So. 1 gp 0 g 0 aKey Newcomers: Jamie Gilbert Sr. 18 gp 0 g 0 a

Gilbert, a transfer from Vanderbilt, joins an already deep and experienced corps of defend-ers. Combined with an already accomplished group of underclassmen in the backfi eld, the Tiger defense will be one of the strongest units on the fi eld.

MIDFIELDERSReturning Starters: Adam Montgomery Jr. 18 gp 1 g 3 a Tripp Harkins So. 18 gp 4 g 2 aOther Key Returnees: Patrick Elkins So. 7 gp 1 g 0 a Jordan Lynn So. 18 gp 0 g 1 a Nick Dressman R-Fr.Key Newcomers: Kevin Walsh Jr. Shaun Goulding So.

Offensive and defensive balance will be the trademark of the Tiger midfi eld. Harkins, Walsh and Goulding will provide the attack-ing presence needed to create goal scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, players such as Montgomery, Wise and Lynn will look to shut down opponent attacks at midfi eld.

FORWARDSReturning Starters: Jared Britcher So. 18 gp 7 g 4 aOther Key Returnees: Kyle Minter So. 13 gp 2 g 1 aKey Newcomers: Kyle Franklin So. 8 gp 0 g 0 a Brian Farrell Fr.

The Tigers will look to Britcher to spark the of-fense. However, Franklin, Farrell and Minter have all shown good goal-scoring ability, and should help carry the offensive burden.

TIGERS AT A GLANCETIGERS AT A GLANCEvide the Tigers enough to offset the loss of All-Conference USA defender Gary Connolly, who graduated last year. “We feel we have six or seven defenders that could play for us across the back, and a lot of them can play multiple positions,” Grant said. “We think that we have enough experience and versatility that we can send out four very good defenders every game.”

MIDFIELDERS

The Tigers lost three important midfi elders in Ste-phen Cooling, Cormac McArdle, and 2005 All-Region selection Dayton O’Brien. However, Grant is confi dent that sophomore Tripp Harkins will be a leader in the Tiger midfi eld. Harkins, who was named to the 2005 C-USA All-Freshman team after recording 10 points (4 goals, 2 as-sists), will be joined by junior Kevin Walsh, a transfer from Christian Brothers University, and sophomore Shaun Goulding, a transfer from Lambuth University. Walsh and Goulding provide Grant with an attacking threat from midfi eld and should help create more scor-ing opportunities for the Tigers. Montgomery has shown versatility by playing midfi eld and defense in his fi rst two seasons. Montgom-ery and sophomore Jordan Lynn give the Tigers a defen-sive-minded presence at midfi eld. Providing additional depth at midfi eld will be red-shirt freshman Nick Dressman and sophomore Grant Wise. Both players impressed during spring play and could fi nd themselves playing multiple positions. Fresh-men Ben Nabers, Jonahan Romero, and Wade Wonderlin also provide additional competition for starting roles. “We have a lot of balance when it comes to the mid-fi eld,” Grant said. “We lost a lot from last year, but with the development that Tripp has shown us and the help that the transfers will give us, we should be in good shape.”

FORWARDS

The departure of Andy Metcalf, who fi nished second in the conference in goals (12) and points (29), creates a scoring void the Tigers must fi ll. Junior Jared Britcher has the most experience and could have a more prominent role up front after playing both midfi eld and defense in his fi rst two seasons at Memphis. Britcher, who fi nished seventh in the conference with 18 points and tallied seven goals in his sophomore campaign, brings experience and toughness to the forward position. The Knoxville, Tenn. native was partnered with sopho-more Kyle Minter last spring, and the two combined to give the Tigers a promising scoring threat. Memphis has a number of other intriguing options

at forward this year. Sophomores Patrick Elkins, Kyle Franklin (a transfer from South Carolina) and freshmen Brian Farrell and Joseph Skiff all have good goal scoring capabilities and could provide an immediate impact. “Up front we used a variety of players during the spring, because that was the position that opened up the most. We really wanted to fi nd the right group,” Grant said. “Jared has a lot of experience and he played a lot of forward in the spring, so he should be ready. We also have a lot of help coming in with the transfers and the freshmen. We should have a strong group up front.”

SCHEDULE

The Tigers will face demanding conference and non conference schedules in 2006 that include Clemson and SMU, two of last season’s NCAA Final Four teams, and Creigthon, a 2005 Elite Eight squad. Memphis will face plenty of challenges on the road, opening the sea-son at Louisville and taking a midseason trip to Colo-rado to face Denver and Air Force, a 10-time NCAA Tournament qualifi er. The Tiger schedule will also feature tough Confer-ence USA road matches. Memphis will open the confer-ence schedule by traveling to South Carolina, the defend-ing conference tournament champion. The Tigers must also face UCF, Florida International and Kentucky on the road. Fortunately for the Tigers, they will have the ben-efi t of home fi eld advantage during the season’s fi nal push for the conference title. The Tigers will try to de-fend their Memphis Diadora Tournament championship by hosting Clemson and Cal State Fullerton, and four of the Tigers’ fi nal six matches take place at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, where the Tigers went 5-2-1 in 2005. Creighton, as well as conference rivals Tulsa, UAB, SMU, and Marshall will all come to Mike Rose in the season’s second half. After playing fi ve of their fi nal seven games on the road last season, Grant is hoping his team can benefi t from facing top competition at home. “One of the things that made last season so tough was the fact that we had to go to places like SMU, Tulsa, UAB and Marshall. We had a lot of tough road games in our conference last year. Now we get to bring those teams here, and that really enhances our home sched-ule,” Grant said. “The conference is a wonderful part of the schedule, and what we’ve added to that is an even more competitive non-conference schedule. “The trips to Louisville, Denver and Air Force will be tough, and we hope to get some crowds out here when we bring in teams like Creighton, Clemson, and SMU. We’ll have a lot of entertaining futbol here this fall, and it should give us a really good chance to make a run for the NCAA Tournament.”

After fi nishing ninth two years in a row in Conference USA, the 36-year-old Dublin, Ireland, native guided the Tigers to their fi rst conference regular season and tournament titles in 2004. Grant brought the Memphis program to new heights, as the team fi nished with its most season victories ever with a 16-4-1 record and was the No. 11 most-im-proved team in the nation. The team’s .786 win-loss-tie percentage was ranked sixth in the nation. For only the second time in the pro-gram’s history, the Tigers earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The nation took notice as The Tigers climbed as high as No. 13 in the polls and ended the season ranked in the top 25 for the fi rst time in school history. The offense fl ourished once again in 2005 as Memphis reached the semifi nals of the C-USA Tournament. The Tigers led the conference and were third in the nation in goals per game (2.56), fi nished second in goals (46), assists (43) and points (135) in C-USA, and received recognition from the pro-fessional ranks as two seniors were drafted by Major League Soccer (MLS) franchises. Since Grant’s arrival in 1999, the Tigers’ offense has strengthened, fi nishing the sea-son ranked nationally in scoring four times

and setting school records for goals, assists and points in 2000. In 2004, Grant brought the team’s defense to new heights, fi nishing ninth in the nation in goals-against average and setting team records in goals against and goals-against average. The defense showed continued growth in 2005 as goaltender Tyler Strom recorded 75 saves on 92 shots to lead Conference USA in save percentage (.815). Grant has grown accustomed to winning and expects nothing less at Memphis. Grant has posted a 122-82-10 overall record (.593) through 11 seasons and has a 69-53-8 record (.562) in his seven years with the Tigers. Under Grant’s leadership, Memphis has eclipsed the 10-win mark three times and has fi nished with a record of .500 or better in four-consecutive years and fi ve of the last six seasons. After posting a 7-11 record in his fi rst year, Grant’s Tigers put up a 14-6 mark in 2000, doubling their win total from the previous season. As a result, Grant became the fi rst Tiger coach to earn Conference USA Coach of the Year honors, a feat he accom-plished for the second time in 2004. As a player, Grant was a three-time NAIA All-American defender and was twice named the NAIA District V Player of the Year at Green Mountain College in Poultney,

Entering his eighth season at the helm of the University of Memphis men’s soccer program, Richie Grant has built a reputation as one of the fi nest coaches in the nation. Grant

has shown an uncanny ability to recruit a steady fl ow of talent from the southern region of the United States, while bringing in solid players from Europe to form competitive teams.

Vt., where he received his bachelor’s degree in leisure resources and facilities manage-ment in 1993. Grant then went on to play for the Minnesota Thunder, a semi-pro team that competes in the A-league. After one season with the Thunder, Grant took a coaching position at Bloomsburg Uni-versity in Pennsylvania and earned his mas-ter’s degree in communication studies while working as an assistant coach from 1993-95. Grant took his fi rst head coaching job at Lam-buth University in Jackson, Tenn., in 1995. In four seasons at Lambuth (1995-99), Grant compiled a 53-29-2 record and won back-to-back Mid-South Conference Cham-pionships in 1997 and 1998. In his fi nal sea-son at Lambuth, Grant led the Eagles to the NAIA Region XI Championships. Grant earned his National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma in 1997 and then earned his NSCAA Premier Diploma in 2002. He served as the head coach of Tennessee’s Under-23 Olympic Development Team in 2001. He is currently in his sixth year at the helm of the Tennessee U-17 ODP squad.

Grant is married to Memphis assistant women’s soccer coach Jodi Grant and has four siblings. Grant’s two sisters live in Eng-land, and his two brothers reside in Ireland. His parents, Richie and Annette, live in Dub-lin, Ireland.


Robert Nicholson enters his fourth sea-son as an assistant coach with the Ti-ger soccer program. Nicholson’s du-

ties include overlooking the team’s nutrition and strength and conditioning programs. “Robbie’s knowledge of the game and of strength and conditioning gives us a great advantage,” said head coach Richie Grant. “He knows how to motivate young men to want to perform well, and he gives them the knowledge they need to take care of them-selves and stay in shape.” The Wishaw, Scotland, native came to the program after two years as both assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach at cross-town Christian Brothers University. At CBU, Nicholson worked with both the men’s and women’s teams and helped lead the women’s squad to the 2002 Division II National Championship. Prior to his stint at CBU, the 34-year-old served as the assistant coach at his alma ma-

ter, Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas, for the 1999 and 2000 seasons. As a player, Nicholson played two sea-sons (1995-97) as a defender at Tyler JC, where he was the team captain for both sea-sons and led the team to a pair of Junior Col-lege National Tournament semifi nal appear-ances. He then moved on to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla., from 1997-99, where he also played defense and captained the Redmen for two seasons.

Nicholson is a 1999 graduate of North-eastern State, where he earned his degree in health and kinesiology with an emphasis in teaching and education. He then completed his Strength and Conditioning Specialist certifi cation through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in the summer of 2000. Nicholson received his Advanced National Coaching License from the National Soccer Coaches of America (NSCAA) in 2004. Nicholson also spent six years in the British Royal Marine Commandos, where he was involved in peacekeeping operations. Nicholson is married to the former Heather Duprel, the couple resides in Mem-phis. He has one sister, Elizabeth, who lives in Scotland. His parents, William and Mar-garet Nicholson, also reside in Scotland.

Remco de Jong rejoins the Memphis men’s soccer team for his second season as a goalkeeper coach. In

his fi rst season on the Tiger coaching staff, de Jong helped goalkeeper Tyler Strom de-velop into one of Conference USA’s best netminders. “Remco is a product of one of the best programs in the world, so he brings a great deal of expertise to that position,” head coach Richie Grant said. “He’s very com-mitted to improving our young keepers, and that’s something you saw last year with Ty-ler Strom’s development.” A native of Amsterdam, de Jong started playing soccer at Ajax in the Netherlands when he was 10-years-old. As a goalkeep-er with Ajax, he played with John van het Schip, Stanly Menzo, and Marco van Bas-

ten, who coached the Dutch National team to a Round of 16 appearance at the 2006 World Cup. de Jong’s U-18 team, coached by three-time European Cup champion Johan Cruyff, won the Netherlands National Champion-ship in 1981-82. His Ajax 3 team also won the national championship in 1985-86 and was a regional champion from 1985-88. In Holland, he coached the amateur club RKA-VIC from 1996-2000 and is currently in his sixth year of coaching goalkeepers for the West Tennessee Futbol Club Dragons. de Jong is married to Angela de Jong-Angelici, the executive producer of the Fox 13 morning show in Memphis. The couple has two children: three-year old daughter Alyssa and nine-month old son Luca.

For four years, Dayton O’Brien and Andy Metcalf were the face of Mem-phis soccer. Metcalf fi nished third in school history in goals (39) and points (90), and O’Brien owns the school re-cords for single season assists (14) and career assists (34). In 2004, the two Ti-gers led Memphis to their fi rst regular season and Conference USA titles and their second ever NCAA Tournament berth. After another stellar season in 2005, it was only fi tting that the high scoring duo was given the opportunity to continue their careers when they were taken in the 2006 Major League Soccer drafts. On January 20, 2006, the Colum-bus Crew selected O’Brien with the 33rd overall pick in the MLS Super Draft. Six days later, D.C. United took Metcalf with the 19th overall pick in the MLS Supplemental Draft. Both players were sent to their club’s reserve rosters. O’Brien and Metcalf were the fi rst two former Tigers drafted by MLS teams and joined former Kansas City Wizards midfi elder Daniel Dobson as the only University of Memphis soccer products to be affi liated with an MLS team. O’Brien and Metcalf each saw playing time in exhibition matches in 2006, and Metcalf added another fi rst

for Memphis soccer when he became fi rst Tiger product to score an MLS goal. The Jackson, Tenn. native struck in a 4-0 exhibition upset against Celtic FC, the defending champions of the Scottish Premier League. “I’m really happy for Dayton and Andy. They worked very hard to get to where they are, and they deserve to be there,” head coach Richie Grant said. “What you see in a lot of our young players now is the desire to play beyond college, and Dayton and Andy showed them what they need to do to make that happen.

The University of Memphis men’s soccer program measured themselves against world class soccer talent last spring, and the Tigers proved to be up to the challenge. Memphis fi nished 4-2 on the spring, with all four wins coming via shutout. The only two Tiger losses came against Major League Soccer (MLS) opponents. More importantly, the Tigers saw new players contribute to the team’s success and create a build-ing block for the 2006 season. The Tigers opened the spring with a 2-0 loss to FC Dallas, which fi nished second in the MLS Western Division in 2005. The game saw impressive de-buts from Kevin Walsh, a transfer from Christian Brothers, and Jamie Gilbert, a transfer from Vanderbilt. Walsh had the Tigers best scoring opportunity, but was robbed of a goal by Dallas goalie Ray Burse. Meanwhile, Gilbert was instru-mental in limiting Dallas to two goals. Jared Britcher and Adam Montgom-ery each scored a goal to lead Memphis to a 2-0 win against Portmarnock FC, one of Ireland’s top amateur programs. Walsh and Kyle Minter showed the ability to attack the net by recording two shots each. Memphis collected the fi rst annual Tim McCage Cup with victories against

Christian Brothers University (1-0) and Lambuth University (3-0). Walsh broke through with his fi rst goal to de-feat Christian Brothers in overtime, and three freshmen (Grant Wise, Tripp Har-kins, and Patrick Elkins) provided the scoring against Lambuth. Redshirt freshman Robert Mueller led the Tigers to a 1-0 shutout victory against Irish amateur team Colaiste Ide. Wise scored in his second-straight game for Memphis to help the Tigers pick up the win. The Tigers closed the spring schedule the same way they opened it, against an MLS squad. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the Kansas City Wizards picked up the 5-0 win. However, af-ter facing top professional and amateur talent, the Tigers have a lot to look for-ward to in 2006. “I really liked the way our players stacked up against those teams,” head coach Richie Grant said. “Opening up against Dallas and fi nishing against Kansas City really forced our players to focus and gave us a unique chal-lenge. We gave them the opportunity to face some really talented teams and we found out what we need to do to im-prove for this season.”

2005 REVIEW

Senior Dayton O’Brien headlined a strong returning class and was named fi rst team CSN preseason All-American, pre-season C-USA Co-Offensive Player of the Year, and a preseason Hermann Trophy candidate. O’Brien teamed with classmate Andy Metcalf and sophomore Jared Britcher to create a potent offensive attack. But, with a schedule that included peren-nial college soccer powers as well as a deep Conference USA schedule, Memphis faced fi erce competition in 2005. The Tigers proved they were up to the challenge by opening the season with a 4-0 record and climbing to No. 18 in the polls. Memphis outscored their opponents 20-3 in the season’s fi rst four games. With season-opening wins against Centenary and Oral Roberts, the host Tigers clinched their sec-ond Memphis Diadora Tournament champi-onship, and a 7-0 win against Alabama A&M stretched the Tigers’ home winning streak to 10 games, a school record. However, Memphis had trouble keeping up such a pace, and the newly-realigned C-USA was proving to be one of the toughest soccer conferences in the nation. The Tigers went 0-4-2 in their next six games, including

losses to No. 15 Creighton and NCAA run-ner-up SMU. “We had a really diffi cult schedule last year going to places like SMU, Tulsa, UAB and Marshall. Those were all very tough road games in our own conference,” head coach Richie Grant said. “The trip to Creigh-ton was particularly diffi cult, but I think our

players got some good experience because of the schedule we faced.” Memphis got back on track midseason. By tying No. 17 Tulsa and South Carolina, the eventual C-USA Tournament champion, the Tigers avoided dropping below the .500 mark and kept their conference tournament hopes alive. Hard fought victories over East Carolina (7-2), Kentucky (2-1), and Central Florida (3-0) down the stretch assured the Tigers of a C-USA Tournament berth despite heart-breaking losses to conference rivals UAB (2-1), Marshall (1-0 in the 89th minute) and Florida International (1-0 in overtime). In the opening round of the C-USA Tournament, sixth-seeded Memphis faced

After a 2004 campaign that included conference regular season and tournament titles, expectations were high for the Memphis men’s soccer program going into the 2005

off against No. 3 seed UAB. The Tigers avenged their regular season loss to the Blaz-ers by pulling off the 2-1 upset. Freshman Tripp Harkins put the Tigers on the board with a goal in the 30th minute, and a UAB own goal in the 82nd minute put Memphis ahead for good. However, the Tigers’ defense of their C-USA Tournament title, as well as their 2005 season, would come to an end with a 2-1 semifi nal loss to South Carolina, which would later claim the conference tournament championship. Coach Grant’s Tigers fi nished 8-8-2. It marked the fourth-consecutive season and fi fth year in the last six that the Tigers fi n-ished .500 or better. Memphis once again proved worthy of national recognition as the Tigers’ 2.56 goals per game (46 goals in 18 team games) led the conference and was third in the nation. Memphis also fi nished second in the conference in goals (46), as-sists (43) and points (135). Seniors Dayton O’Brien and Andy Met-calf received the most prestigious honor as both were drafted by Major League Soccer (MLS) franchises. O’Brien was taken 33rd overall by the Columbus Crew in the MLS Super Draft, and Metcalf was selected by D.C. United in the second round of the MLS Supplemental Draft. O’Brien was named All-Conference USA for the second-straight year, fi nishing third in the conference with eight assists. The Memphis native was also named to the NSCAA/Adidas All-Midwest Region Sec-ond Team, marking his fourth consecutive regional team selection.

Metcalf fi nished fi rst or second in the conference in six major offensive catego-ries. The Jackson, Tenn. native was named C-USA Offensive Player of the Week Oct. 10, was awarded a place on the CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 fi rst team and was named an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American. 2005 also provided the Tigers a glimpse of their future as a group of promising un-derclassmen provided strong performances. In his fi rst season as a starter, Jared Britcher recorded 18 points (7 goals, 4 assists) and averaged 1.00 point per game. Both totals were good enough to tie him for seventh in the conference. Britcher’s two goals and one assist during the 2005 Memphis Diadora Tournament earned him Tournament MVP honors, Top Drawer Soccer Conference Per-former of the Week, and C-USA Offensive Player of the Week. Britcher also joined Metcalf on the CoSIDA Academic All-Dis-trict First Team and the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America Team. Sophomore goalkeeper Tyler Strom pro-vided solid defense for the Tigers. After tak-ing over as the starter in net, Strom recorded 75 saves in 13 games to lead C-USA with a .815 save percentage. In his fi rst season with the Tigers, Tripp Harkins notched 10 points (4 goals, 2 assists) en route to being named to the C-USA All Freshman Team. Harkins showed an abil-ity to deliver in the clutch as two of his four goals were game-winners. The development shown by his underclassmen at the end of 2005 is one of the reasons Grant has high hopes for 2006. “We had a lot of young players last year. But we’re expecting the fi rst-year players who are now sophomores and the young sophomores that are now juniors to really carry the burden and responsibilities for the team in 2006,” Grant said.

The Lady Tigers are set for another challeng-ing season in 2006 with four NCAA Tourna-ment qualifi ers on the slate. A look at the NCAA teams with their 2005 record.

AN ELITE SCHEDULEAN ELITE SCHEDULE

“We’re really excited for the upcoming season,” Monaghan said. “Our goal is defi -nitely to win the conference tournament, and we feel that if we’re clicking on all cylinders we have as good of a shot as anyone else.” One thing that the Lady Tigers will fea-ture is a lot of depth. Memphis returns 17 of 24 letterwinners from the 2005 campaign. The squad will have also have a lot of youth with 11 returning sophomores and 12 talented new-comers all vying for playing time this fall. “We have a lot of players that can come off the bench and give us support,” Monaghan said. “If we have to go to the bench, we defi -nitely feel comfortable doing that.”

FORWARDS

Offensively, the Lady Tigers will be mov-ing to a new 4-3-3 system. Monaghan looks for this attacking style to increase his team’s goal production from 2005. The new offense should benefi t from the leadership of talented senior Shoko Mikami, last season’s Confer-ence USA Offensive Player of the Year. Mi-kami returns to the center forward position to lead the attack. “We feel like this alignment really suits our team,” Monaghan said. “Shoko sees the fi eld so well that we can run the offense through her, and the addition of Geneil New-bern on the outside should make our forward combination very tough to handle.” Newbern, a senior transfer from Geor-gia, should provide a jolt to the Lady Tigers’ attack. As a freshman at Georgia, Newbern recorded 12 goals and six assists and was named All-Southeastern Conference honor-able mention. In addition to Mikami and Newbern, the Lady Tigers return sophomore forward

Kylie Hayes. Hayes made a serious impact as a freshman, scoring 14 goals and tallying 33 points. Her exceptional speed should con-tinue to challenge opposing defenses. Martin Methodist transfer Harumi Someya should add a lot of depth to the for-ward position, and freshmen Liza Welford and Leslie Walker have the potential to step in and play immediately.

MIDFIELDERS

Directing the action at center midfi eld will be senior Melissa Savage. The Arling-ton, Texas, native has played in every match for the Lady Tigers during her college career, starting all but fi ve. “Melissa is so versatile for us at the mid-fi eld,” Monaghan said. “She dominates the center of the fi eld. She has great maneuver-ability and ball-handling skills, and she is an aggressive defender.” Savage will be fl anked by sophomores Laura Pfeffer and Emiko Schwab. Despite be-ing a freshman Pfeffer played in every match in 2005. Schwab burst onto the scene offensively during the last three matches of the 2005 regu-lar season, scoring four goals in that span. Also look for sophomore Katy Booth and freshmen Tori Dalton, Laura Laufen-berg, Roma Rozanska and Brittany Baldwin to make an impact in the midfi eld and com-pete for playing time.

DEFENDERS

Last year, Memphis set a school record and league-high mark for its defensive ef-

Coming off of a school-record 12-win season in 2005, head coach Brooks Monaghan and his squad are feeling very con-fi dent about their chances for another successful campaign in

2006. This season the Lady Tigers return 10 of 11 starters from last year’s team. With a highly touted signing class and a new, aggres-sive game plan, Memphis looks ready to make a run at a Conference USA title and the program’s fi rst NCAA Tournament appearance.


FORWARDSReturning Starters: Shoko Mikami Sr. 19 gp 15 g 12 a Kylie Hays So. 19 gp 14 g 5 aKey Newcomers: Geneil Newbern Sr. Harumi Someya So. Eliza Welford Fr. Leslie Walker Fr.

Memphis returns C-USA’s leading point pro-ducer in Mikami and All-Freshman performer Hayes. Combined with a foursome of exciting newcomers, the Lady Tigers’ should produce big numbers offensively.

MIDFIELDERSReturning Starters: Melissa Savage Sr. 19 gp 2 g 2 a Laura Pfeffer So. 19 gp 1 g 0 aOther Key Returnees: Emiko Schwab So. 15 gp 4 g 2 a Katy Booth So. 12 gp 0 g 2 aKey Newcomers: Laura Laufenberg Fr. Roma Rozanska Fr. Victoria Dalton Fr. Brittany Baldwin Fr.

Savage has played in every game during her college career. Schwab is a dangerous offen-sive threat, and Pfeffer played every game in 2005.

DEFENDERReturning Starters: Nicky McLeod Sr. 19 gp 1 g 6 a Alexandra Atkinson So. 19 gp 0 g 3 a Kate Murphy Jr. 18 gp 1 g 3 a Halley Jo Sullivan So. 19 gp 0 g 0 aOther Key Returnees: Caroline Barrett Jr. 19 gp 4 g 2 a Chloe James So. 4 gp 0 g 0 a Elaine Sedgewick So. 0 gp 0 g 0 aKey Newcomers: Maiko Higashiyama So. Lia Fannin Fr.

McLeod makes the move from midfi eld to the defense. Her leadership combined with great depth should help Memphis duplicate its defensive numbers from 2005.

GOALKEEPERReturning Starters: Isabel Briones So. 18 gp 4 ga 1 soKey Newcomers: Chelsea Books Fr.

Briones provided great performances in 2005. Now as the team’s only veteran keeper, she will be relied on to show consistency.

LADY TIGERS AT A GLANCELADY TIGERS AT A GLANCEfi ciency. The Lady Tigers allowed just 1.19 goals per game, despite starting two fresh-men and one sophomore in the backfi eld. With the change in alignment, there will be added pressure on the defense this season. However, the Lady Tiger roster is stacked with defenders and the battle for playing time should be fi erce. Several changes to the backfi eld should add quite a bit of athleti-cism to the defense, and an additional year of experience should give the needed maturity to keep opponents out of the net. Senior team co-captain Nicky McLeod will move from her position at outside mid-fi eld to defender, where she will replace de-parted seniors Courtnee Melton and Robyn Smart. Monaghan hopes that McLeod’s lead-ership and experience will allow his squad to continue their stellar defensive play. “Nicky’s speed up and down the line should really help us out in the backfi eld,” Monaghan said. “She’s an excellent defender and her experience will make a difference.” Among those vying for time in the back-fi eld is junior Caroline Barrett, sophomores Elaine Sedgewick, Kate Murphy, Halley Jo Sullivan, Lindsey Joseph, Maggie Leone and Chloe James and freshmen Lia Fannin. Murphy was another freshman who played extensively last season, appearing in all 19 matches and starting 17. Transfer Maiko Higashiyama is another player with the talent to step up immediately. Higashiyama also comes from Martin Method-ist and was an NAIA All-American in 2005. Sophomore Alexandra Atkinson will look to resume her spot in the Lady Tigers’ starting lineup after being one of only three players to start all 19 games last year.

GOALKEEPERS

Junior goalkeeper Isabel Briones returns in net after a breakthrough season in 2005 that saw her post six shutouts and surrender more than one goal in only fi ve contests. This year she will compete for playing time with new-comer Chelsea Brooks. “Isabel continued to improve through the spring,” Monaghan said. “After the way she performed last season, we feel confi dent that we can rely on her in goal this year.”

SCHEDULE

In 2006, the Lady Tigers will face a tough slate of non-conference opponents. During the Lady Tiger Fall Tournament, Memphis will host SEC foe Alabama and 2005 NCAA Tour-nament participant Samford. The team will fol-low those matches up with a weekend road trip to Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Memphis will also host Arkansas at home on Sept. 17. The Lady Tigers will open Conference USA play Sept. 29 at Mike Rose Stadium against East Carolina, followed by another home match versus Marshall on Oct. 1. After that, Memphis hits the road for two-consecu-tive weekends to face UCF, Southern Miss, Colorado College and 2005 conference pow-erhouse UTEP. The team will return home for big matches with Rice on Oct. 20 and Houston on Oct. 22, before closing the season Oct. 27 at 2004 C-USA champion UAB.

MONAGHANBrooks


Monaghan took the reins of the program in 2000 after serving for fi ve years as an as-sistant coach for his predecessor, Les Szabo. Despite taking over a diffi cult situation, Monaghan has been able to slowly build the Lady Tiger soccer program into a winner. Over the past two seasons, Monaghan has produced the most successful campaigns in program history, winning 11 matches in 2004 and 12 in 2005. Those years represent the fi rst time Memphis women’s soccer has ever posted back-to-back winning records. Last year Monaghan became the lon-gest tenured women’s soccer coach in school history. Just the program’s second coach, Monaghan surpassed Szabo in 2004 as Mem-phis’ all-time winningest coach with his 35th career win. Another indicator of Monaghan’s suc-cess as a coach has been the numerous acco-lades awarded to his players. In six seasons, he has had 15 players receive All-Conference USA honors, including fi ve fi rst team recipi-ents. Last season, junior Shoko Mikami was named the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, making her the fi rst Lady Tiger to re-

ceive a conference MVP award. The Lady Tiger program has also fl our-ished off the fi eld during Monaghan’s tenure. Since 2000, the team has never posted a com-posite grade-point average below 3.0. In the spring of 2006, 19 of 26 players fi nished the se-mester with a GPA above 3.0. Six Lady Tigers also made the Tiger Academic 30 for having one of the top 30 GPAs of any student athlete. “The most important thing we can do as coaches is try to prepare young people for success later in life,” Monaghan said. “Soc-cer is important to me, and I want to win. However, the foundation of our program is the student-athlete.” When Monaghan took over the program, he was already familiar with the demands of running a successful college soccer program, having enjoyed tremendous success during his playing career at Memphis. The former goalkeeper still holds school records for sin-gle-season shutouts (11) and career shutouts (24). He is second to Lady Tiger assistant coach Sebastian Vecchio in career goals-against average (1.40) and single-season goals-against average (0.80). His 298 career

Brooks Monaghan has been a part of the University of Memphis women’s soccer program since its inception in 1995 and has played a major role in it’s rise over the last six seasons. Now, entering his

seventh year as a head coach, Monaghan has not only maintained the Lady Tiger program, but has substantially raised the bar of success.

saves rank second all-time. He was named fi rst team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992 after helping to lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title. In 1993, he was the Defensive MVP of the league’s champi-onship game, helping the Tigers to their fi rst ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His 38 wins at goalkeeper still stand as the school record. “Making the NCAA Tournament was such a great time for me as a player,” Monaghan said. “That is the standard that I want reach as a coach and that I want my players to strive for. “To be a part of Memphis from so many different angles - fi rst as a player, then as an assistant and now as a head coach - has been wonderful. I grew up here and I’ve always loved the city and the school. Now I get to be a part of building a winning program at my alma mater and that’s a dream come true.” A former prep standout at Chris-tian Brothers High School in Memphis, Monaghan’s collegiate play helped earn him a spot on the U.S. U-20 National Squad. Monaghan has also played professionally, spending two seasons with the New Orleans Gamblers from 1995-96 and the Memphis Express in 2002. A Memphis native, Monaghan received a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Memphis in 1994. He is single and re-sides in Memphis.


Keeping an assistant coach with the talent of Jodi Grant is almost im-possible, and as with head coach

Brooks Monaghan, Memphis has been for-tunate enough to have Grant as a part of the women’s soccer program since its inception. “This program would not be where it is without Jodi,” Monaghan said. “I look at her as a co-head coach. Jodie is irreplaceable and she deserves as much credit as I do for our success.” A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Grant is entering her sixth season as a full time assistant coach with the Lady Tigers. Prior to that, she served as a graduate assistant coach for one season and as a vol-unteer assistant coach the year before that. Grant fi rst came to the University of Memphis as a player on the inaugural Lady Tiger squad in 1995.

She played four seasons, and in 79 ca-

reer games, compiled school records that still

stand today for career goals (33), points (92)

and shots (178). She also is the co-holder of

the record for most assists in a game (4) and

is second all-time in school history in assists

in a season (11) and career (26). A third team

All-Conference USA selection as a junior in

1997, Grant was also named to the C-USA

All-Freshman Team in 1995.

At the conclusion of her playing days,

Grant spent one year as a volunteer assistant

coach in 1999 and another as a graduate as-

sistant coach in 2000, helping Monaghan in

the transition from former head coach Les

Szabo. She was named a full-time assistant

coach prior to the 2001 season.

In addition to helping Monaghan with

on-fi eld coaching duties and recruiting,

Grant has also played an instrumental part

in the Lady Tigers’ success in the classroom.

The last three seasons, Memphis was the re-

cipient of the women’s soccer team academ-

ic award from the National Soccer Coaches

Association of America, and last spring had

19 players fi nish with a grade-point average

above 3.0. The Lady Tigers also had three

players garner individual academic awards

in 2005.

“Jodi is a great tactician on the fi eld, but

she’s just as good in teaching the kids off the

fi eld,” Monaghan said. “She is a great role

model for all of the players and really under-

stands where they are coming from.”

Grant earned her undergraduate degree

in Exercise and Sport Science from Mem-

phis in 1999 and also earned a master’s de-

gree in Student Personnel Services from the

university in 2002. Formerly Jodi Fisher,

Grant married Memphis men’s soccer head

coach Richie Grant in May 2006. The couple

resides in Memphis.

After completing his playing career with the Memphis men’s soccer team in 2004, Sebastian Vecchio

stepped over into the coaching ranks with the women’s program, joining the Lady Tigers as an assistant coach in charge of goalkeep-ers. In 2005, his fi rst season with the wom-en’s team, Vecchio helped to mold sopho-more goalkeeper Isabel Briones into one of

Conference USA’s best netminders. Under Vecchio’s tutelage, Briones was twice named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week. “Sebastian was a great addition to our staff last year,” said head coach Brooks Monaghan. “He has already helped Isabel Briones take her game to the next level. He’s a great coach in terms of teaching and funda-mentals.”

As a player, Vecchio was a two-year starter for the Tigers after transferring to Memphis from NAIA Mid-Continent Col-lege in Kentucky. He allowed just 12 goals in over 1,500 minutes of play during the 2004 season for a 0.69 goals-against aver-age en route to being named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-C-USA fi rst team. The native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, ended his Tiger career with a 1.02 career goals-against average and 21 wins in two seasons. Prior to his collegiate playing days, Vecchio played with the Ar-gentina U-16 National Team. Vecchio earned his bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Memphis in 2005. He is single and resides in Memphis.

One reason for the optimism surrounding the upcoming Memphis women’s soccer season is the superb performance of the team during the 2006 spring schedule. The Lady Tigers fi nished the spring 6-2-1, with their only losses coming 3-2 against 2005 NCAA Tournament participant Missouri and 1-0 to Peach Belt Conference champion Colum-bus State. Memphis rolled over rival Ole Miss 3-0 and tied Mississippi State 1-1. The team also looked dominant against the Region III and Georgia Olympic Developmental Program squads, winning both matches by a combined score of 9-1. Along with a preview of next year’s lineup, the Lady Tigers showcased their new 4-3-3 alignment and put together an offensive explo-sion. The new attacking system helped Mem-phis produce 25 goals over nine matches. Led by proven team co-captain and reigning Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year Shoko Mikami, the Lady Tigers’ front three posted impressive numbers. Finishing second to Mikami, who had eight goals, Georgia transfer Geneil Newbern was as good as advertised. Newbern scored six goals,

while 2005 Conference USA All-Freshman Team player Kylie Hayes posted four scores. “Overall, I’m pleased with what we accom-plished this spring,” Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan said. “The team worked hard adjusting to a new style of play. They overcame their initial frustrations and gained a strong belief in our new system.” Monaghan was specifi cally pleased with the way his team was able to continue its defensive dominance while switching to a more aggres-sive system. Last season, Memphis was second in Con-ference USA in defensive effi ciency, allowing just 1.21 goals per game. During the spring sea-son, the Lady Tigers clamped down even fur-ther, surrendering only seven scores and just .78 goals per contest. Even in its two losses Mem-phis gave up only three scores. All of this success has left Monaghan anxiously awaiting the start of the 2006 cam-paign. “We are excited for the fall,” Monaghan said. “Our players have set high expectations for the season, and we are looking forward to it. We had the chance in the spring to play against several teams with different types of systems, and we’ve learned to adapt to the way we need to play to succeed in the fall.”

“We really stepped up and met our ex-pectations last season,” said Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan. “We set a goal to make the conference tournament and we did that.” Despite starting between fi ve and seven underclassman in every match, the Lady Ti-gers didn’t show any signs of inexperience. In fact, the young players gelled into their roles almost immediately, and Memphis started the season by winning six of its fi rst nine contests with two of the losses in that span coming against NCAA Tournament participants Ole Miss and Samford. “I was really excited by the num-ber of young players who stepped up and helped make it a successful season,” said Monaghan. Memphis continued its winning ways in conference play. The Lady Tigers won a school record six league games in route to a 6-3 conference mark. The team earned one

of its most impressive wins of the season, knocking off defending Conference USA champion UAB 1-0 at Mike Rose Stadium. The Lady Tigers earned the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament and faced second-seeded UTEP. Memphis fell behind the Min-ers 5-0 before rallying at the 80 minute mark

to score four goals. Unfortunately, the defi -cit proved too much for coach Monaghan’s squad, and the Lady Tigers were forced out of the C-USA Tournament in the quarterfi -nals for a second straight year. “We really feel that our season ended too early,” said Monaghan. “UTEP was a very good team, but hopefully next year we can fi ght for a higher seed.” As a team, Memphis had one of the high-est scoring offenses in the country. Ranked in the nation’s top 20 in goals per game through most of the season, the Lady Tigers broke

In 2005, the University of Memphis women’s soccer team fol-lowed up on a successful 2004 campaign by posting a 12-7 record and reaching its second-consecutive Conference USA

Tournament. The 2005 season marked the fi rst time that the Lady Tigers recorded back-to-back winning seasons and will likely be viewed as a turning point in the history of the program.

several school records for offensive produc-tion. The team set records for goals in a sea-son with 50 and points in a season with 157 and, its 52 assists came within one of tying the school record of 53. Memphis led Con-ference USA in assists per game at 2.74. Defensively, the Lady Tigers had arguably the best season in program history, tying a school record for goals against average with a 1.19. Several Lady Tigers had standout in-dividual seasons, and none made a bigger splash than junior Shoko Mikami. The Japa-nese native recovered from a knee injury that hampered her through much of the 2004 sea-son and regained the form that saw her lead the nation in goals and points when she was a freshman at Christian Brothers University in 2003. Mikami became the focal point of the Lady Tiger offense and set a school record for points in a season with 42. She also tied the school record for assists with 12, and her 15 goals were the second-most ever scored by a Memphis player in one season. Mikami led the conference in goals, assists and points during the regular season. For her efforts, the Lady Tiger junior was named fi rst team All-Conference USA and became the fi rst Memphis player to ever receive the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year award. Among the freshmen who performed well for Coach Monaghan in 2005 was for-ward Kylie Hays. Hayes, a multi-sport high school athlete, showed tremendous speed and athleticism on the attack.

The Ohio native ended her rookie campaign with 14 goals and 33 points, trailing only Mikami for the team lead in both categories. Hayes was named to the conference All-Freshman squad. Sophomore Askuka Kubota earned sec-ond team All-Conference USA honors. A midfi elder by trade, Kubota proved an ex-cellent striker, fi nishing third on the team in goals with fi ve and second to Mikami in as-

sists with 17.

Goalkeeper Isabel Briones had a break-out season in 2005. The Lady Tiger sopho-more tied the school record for shutouts in a season with six and surrendered just one goal in seven of the team’s matches. Briones was named C-USA Player of the Week twice, with the fi rst honor coming after recording a season-high nine saves in a 1-0 win over defending conference champion UAB. The Alabama native moved into the top-5 all-time Memphis leaders in victories, shutouts and saves.
