Expectations are at an all-time high for a UMKC softball team that is coming off its second consecutive season with 20 or more wins and returns eight defensive starters and three pitchers, including three First Team all-Summit League honorees, from a season ago.

tHe InfIelDThe UMKC infield returns three starters and four players who saw significant action at one of the four spots in 2010, and a fifth who returns to the ‘Roos after two seasons.

Junior Kelly Fischer leads the quar-tet, as the second baseman is com-ing off a season where she hit .363 with team-highs of 53 hits, 66 total bases, 15 stolen bases and nine doubles. Those numbers led to her being named First Team all-Summit League a season after being named to the Second Team.

Kaelene Curry returns to her shortstop position after leading the Summit League with a .516 on-

base percentage and a school-record 42 runs scored. The junior’s

.390 batting aver-age was also tops on the team and ranked as the second highest mark in school-history. In all, Curry led the

‘Roos in batting average (.390), on-base percent-age (.516), runs (42), walks (23), hit by pitches (9),

steals

(15), while finishing second on the team in hits (48) and third in doubles (8) and triples (1).

A third junior, first baseman Chel-sea Hartwig, will look to rebound from her down 2010 season and return to her Second Team all-Summit League ways from 2009. Last season, Hartwig hit .207, while notching 12 walks, 11 RBIs, five runs, three doubles and two home runs and moving into second all-time in UMKC history with 10 home runs.

Danielle Bennefeld returns for her third season in the Blue & Gold after starting 35 games at three dif-ferent positions last season. On the year, the Blue Springs, Mo., native hit .234 with 16 runs, with eight RBIs, four walks, three doubles, two home runs and a stolen base, while hitting safely in five consecu-tive games from March 30 to April 3. On April 20, Bennefeld finished 2-for-2 with two runs, an RBI, a home run and a hit by pitch in 6-5 win over UNLV.

Megan Ussary rounds out the UMKC infield, returning after a two year absence from the squad. In 2008 as a freshman, the Agency, Mo., native led the ‘Roos with a .303 batting average and a .347 on-base percentage, while also collect-ing eight doubles. This season, the junior will be relied upon to hold down third base for the squad.

tHe oUtfIelDThe UMKC outfield will feature six players with significant playing experience on the two-deep depth chart, including two First Team all-Summit League performers.

Junior Anna Sokolik leads the returners after starting 46 games a season ago and being named as a First Team all-Summit League hon-oree. This season, the Bettendorf, Iowa, native will hold down left field for the ‘Roos after finishing 18th in the nation with five triples and leading the team with nine doubles and 66 total bases, finishing second on the team with 20 RBIs and a .516 slugging percentage and third on the team with 22 runs scored in 2010.

Sophomore Emily Ott returns for her second season as a ‘Roo after being named a First Team all-Sum-mit League honoree as a freshman. Last season, Ott registered a .346 batting average, while recording a UMKC single season record 35 RBIs. Her .420 on-base percentage, meanwhile, ranks fourth all-time on the UMKC career list, while the Des Plaines, Ill., native scored 17 runs, with eight doubles, two home runs, 11 walks and seven steals in seven attempts.

Ashley Whiteside returns for her fourth season and third full sea-son with the squad after suffering a season-ending ankle injury 12 games into last season. In her 11 starts, the junior posted a .250 average, while finishing 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts. This season, the St. Peters, Mo., native will patrol center field and anchor the outfield defense for UMKC.

Senior Amanda Kinn will serve as the squad’s fourth outfielder in her fourth and final season in the Blue & Gold. Last season, Kinn hit .220 in 25 games, including 18 starts, registering one home run and eight

RBIs.

Megan Vicino will be

counted on to provide depth

in the UMKC out-field after starting

in 38 games and hitting .204 as a sophomore. On the season, the junior registered nine of 15 RBIs with two outs, while notching six doubles, a triple and 13 runs.

Senior Rashonda Stanley played in 32 games last season for UMKC where she finished third on the team with 10 steals. After scoring eight runs in 2010, the third-year ‘Roo will be the first player of the bench to pinch run and serve as a defensive replacement in the outfield.

tHe CatCHerSThe UMKC catching situation will be a five-headed monster, as a quintet of ‘Roos, two returners and three newcomers, will vie for play-ing time behind the dish.

Senior Lauren Rodrigues leads the group, as the four-year ‘Roo started 26 games in 2010, posting a .219 batting average with seven RBIs along with two doubles and a home run.

Sophomore Lindsey Davis, mean-while, started 20 games a season ago, hitting .280 with six RBIs, four

runs, four doubles and a home run, including her first career hit as a collegiate with a double against Maine on Feb. 20.

Sophomore Kendall Patterson joins the ‘Roos after spending last season as a member of the Kansas softball squad. In Lawrence, the McLouth, Kan., native played in five games with one start.

A third sophomore, Brooke White-side, joins her sister Ashley on the ‘Roos after being named a Second Team all-Conference selection as both a junior and senior at Francis Howell North High School.

Katie Henning joins the squad as one of two freshman ‘Roos out of Olathe South High School. As a Fal-con, Henning helped the squad to a runner-up finish in the Kansas 6A State Tournament after hitting .435 during her senior year.

tHe PItCHerSThree pitchers return from last seasons rotation, including two who have littered their names through-out the UMKC record books, while the squad will also wel-come in a talented fresh-man to the staff.

Sophomore Deanna Friese returns for her second season in the Blue & Gold after pitching in a team-high 32 games with 24 starts in 2010. Last season, the Kennesaw, Ga., native posted a 3.96 ERA, while finishing with a school-record 9.93 strikeouts per seven innings. Her 208 strikeouts, meanwhile, were second all-time, while her 146.2 in-nings pitched were ninth and her 12 wins and 16 complete games were each fifth.

Sokolik finished with a team-low 3.40 ERA with 10 wins and 74 strikeouts in 117.1 innings pitched last season, while her .556 winning percentage is tied for the best mark in school history and her 10 wins are the ninth most in school history.

Ott, the squad’s third returning pitcher, tossed 21 innings on the season, recording the squad’s only save of the season in the 7-5 win over North Dakota on Apr. 10.

Freshman Katie Franks will round out the UMKC pitching staff after leading Cy-Woods High School in Cypress, Texas to conference titles in all four of her seasons. In 2010, Franks was named District MVP after posting a 0.24 ERA.

‘rooS PICKeD foUrtH In SUmmIt leaGUe PreSeaSon Poll

The UMKC softball team was picked to finish fourth in The Sum-mit League Preseason Poll accord-ing to a vote of league head coach-es. Last season, the ‘Roos finished tied for fourth place in the league standings with South Dakota State, but missed out on an appearance in the league tournament by .005 win percentage points.

UMKC tied the Jackrabbits with 39 points each, to fill the fourth spot in the poll. The Kangaroos welcome back eight defensive starters and three starting pitchers, including three first team All-League selec-tions in juniors Kelly Fischer and Anna Sokolik and sopho-more Emily Ott. Fischer (.363, 53 H), Sokolik (.344, .516 SLG%) and Ott (.346, 35 RBI) make up three of the four top hitters returning for UMKC, last year’s second-best hitting team with a .281 batting average and .353 on-base percentage.

IPFW and North Da-kota State tied as one of the preseason co-favorites to win the 2011 Summit League Softball Championship, as voted on by the

The ‘Roos

UMKC vs. The NPF All-Stars - Sep. 30, 2010


Meredith Smith is entering her fifth season as the head coach of the UMKC softball program. Smith was hired to lead the Kangaroos in July 2006.

During the 2010 season, Smith improved UMKC’s win total for the third consecutive season, leading the squad to a 22-26 overall record and a 12-10 mark in Summit League play. The ‘Roos finished in a tie for fourth place in the regular season standings and narrowly missed out on advancing to The Summit League Tournament by percentage points. The team’s 22 victories were tied for the third most in a single season in the program’s 23 seasons of competition on the diamond.

Smith’s squad picked up its play late in the 2010 campaign, as the squad posted a 14-4 record over the final 18 games. One of the victories was a 6-5 triumph at UNLV, which is one of the signature wins during Smith’s tenure in Blue and Gold.

Under her direction, a trio of Kangaroos - Kelly Fischer, Anna Sokolik and Emily Ott - garnered First Team all-Summit League honors. The ‘Roos also had a total of three student-athletes earn Summit League Player/Pitcher of the Week honors during the regular season.

Smith’s squad also continued its excellence in the classroom, as 11 student-athletes were named to The Summit League Winter/Spring Academic all-League team, while eight were tabbed to the Com-missioner’s List of Academic Excellence.

In 2009, Smith led the team to a 20-34 overall record, as the Kangaroos finished 10-14 in The Sum-mit League, which were the most league wins for the program since the 2003 season.

During the season, Smith led the ‘Roos on a six-game winning streak that began on April 4 against IPFW and ended on April 11 against North Dakota.

Under Smith’s guidance, Kelly Fischer and Chelsea Hartwig earned second team all-league honors and Samantha Hurst was named The Summit League Pitcher of the Week. Hartwig also set a new UMKC school record for most home runs hit in a single season at eight. Off the field, Smith had 13 players named to The Summit League Winter/Spring Aca-demic all-League team and six players named to the Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence.

In 2008, UMKC finished with an 8-31 overall record, as the squad doubled its win total from the 2007 season, despite fielding a team with a total of 11 underclassmen (nine freshmen). The team’s winning percentage of .205 was the best for the program since the 2003 season.

Smith moved to Kansas City after serving as the Director of Softball Operations at Tennessee during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. In this capacity, she was responsible for

developing, organizing and distributing recruiting materials, while also coordinating the team’s travel arrangements.

During the 2006 season, Smith helped guide the Volunteers to the SEC Championship as well as a berth in the Women’s College World Series.

Prior to being promoted as a member of the UT staff, Smith served as the team’s man-ager in 2004-05. She handled various administrative duties. The Knoxville, Tenn., native has also been a camp instructor for the Volunteers since 2001.

As a student-athlete, Smith played collegiately at Centre College in Danville, Ky., in 2000. During that season, she tied an NCAA record for most doubles in a single game with five and picked up all-conference honors and earned a league player of the week award. She then spent one semester at East Tennessee State before transferring to UT, where she was involved with the Panhellenic Council of Pi Beta Phi and Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

Smith graduated cum laude from Tennessee in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science. She also holds her master’s degree in sports psychology with a minor in sports management.

Shana Easley is entering her third season as an assistant coach, as she joined the program in August 2008. Easley, who works primarily with the catchers and infielders, joined the Kangaroos from the University of Arkansas, where she served as the Director of Softball Operations.

The Evolution of the Kangaroo Chancellor Leo E. Morton

When choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that

represent power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”

Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate.

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU.

Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.

Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

The first incarnation

of Kasey Kangaroo

was inked by Marceline, Mo., native

Walt Disney, and featured

more famous rodent.

Leo E. Morton was named Chan-cellor of the University of Mis-

souri-Kansas City on December 15, 2008. Prior to assuming the Chan-cellorship, Leo was employed by Aquila, Inc, joining the firm in January 1994 as vice president, performance management.

Director of Athletics Tim Hall Senior Administrative Staff

tiM haLLDirector of Athletics

Tim Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athlet-ics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a

member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program.

In Hall’s first three full years in Kansas City, UMKC has enjoyed a record amount of success on the fields of competition, in the classroom, and in the Kansas City community. These successes were reinforced by the NCAA in 2009, as UMKC Ath-letics received full NCAA certification without condition. The certification showed that the Uni-versity is operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership and is valid for the next 10 years.

From an athletics standpoint, Hall led the ‘Roos to their most successful year since 2000 in 2008-09 and the ‘Roos continued excelling in 2009-10. UMKC claimed a pair of Summit League titles in men’s soccer and men’s tennis, while also earning the runner-up nod in both men’s and women’s golf, which led to a record 2009 finish in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup.

During the 2010 campaign, the men’s tennis team won The Summit League regular season title and the men’s golf program was the league runner-up. This helped the men’s teams fin-ish fourth in the Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All Sports Award standings, the best showing since 2001-02. Overall, the ‘Roos moved up to sixth place in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, which was the highest finish since 2006-07.

In the classroom, the department posted a 3.10 cumulative grade point as of the spring 2010 semester and eight programs finished with at least a 3.0 GPA. Additionally, UMKC finished with a 958.7 APR average and the volleyball team received the NCAA public recognition award.

Internally, Hall has been hard at work to align the department with peer institutions and the NCAA. He restructured the rules compliance office to be more in line with NCAA rules and the Student-Athlete Support Services Office to better assist and prepare Kangaroo student-athletes. He also continues to work with new UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton to craft the athlet-ics’ strategic plan in concert with the University’s new strategic goals.

From a fund raising standpoint, Kangaroo Athletics have never been better. In 2008, UMKC received a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation, the largest gift in Ath-letics’ and the fourth-largest gift in University history. The resulting Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field opened in August 2009 and is among the premier soccer facili-ties in the Midwest region.

Additional facility improvements have included revamped locker rooms and lounges for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball and the retro-fitting of Old Swinney Gymnasium, which provides the basketball and volleyball programs with a first-class practice facility. The project was funded through $500,000 of private support.

Hall also was instrumental in the renovation of the Swinney Recreation Center with the installa-tion of new seatback bleachers and new scoreboards, which enhances the venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The renovation allows the men’s basketball squad to move its games back on campus full-time for the 2010-11 season.

Hall is also in the midst of a partnership with the Kansas City Parks Department to build a sports complex that will house both indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a 200-meter indoor track and a softball field.

On an annual basis, the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, which was rebranded prior to the 2007-08 school year, has posted three straight years of 50 percent growth, while donor participation is up over 200 percent. He also increased the department’s total sponsorships and gift-in-kind assistance to over $1.5 million and cash and trade sponsorships have increased 265 percent since 2008. Additionally, Hall has increased UMKC’s external support by 45 per-cent over fiscal year 2009 from $1.6 to $2.4 million. Hall also has also reconnected with over 200 former ‘Roos with the former student-athlete association.

In the community, Hall has been active in an effort to get more community leaders involved in the Athletics Department. Hall restructured the Athletics Foundation Board in 2009 by adding representatives from a number of Kansas City-based businesses such as Cerner, Kansas City Southern Railways, Lathrop Gage LLC, and Mark One Electric. New partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics, including television (Niles Media Group) and radio (810 WHB) agreements that ensure a continued presence within the Kansas City region. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set, while additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, Truman Medical Cen-

ters, Pepsi, T-Mobile and JumpTV to better serve the department’s student-athletes.

Hall continues to bring leadership to UMKC and The Summit League. In addition to his role on the Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet, Hall serves on The Summit League Joint Council leadership committee and sits on the league’s men’s basketball scheduling committee and the men’s and women’s soccer coaches committees. Additionally, Hall is also in the second of a three-year term on the NACDA Division 1-AAA Executive Committee and serves on the NCAA volleyball rules committee.

Hall came to Kansas City after serving as the Associate Athletics Director for Development at Kent State Uni-versity in Kent, Ohio, from 2003-07. While at KSU, he was a member of the athletics senior administra-tive staff, work-ing in all phases of departmental management in-cluding game and personnel con-tracts, scheduling, budget, policy and strategic planning.

In this role, Hall created and imple-mented a compre-hensive restructur-ing of the athletic advancement unit, resulting in the creation of the Of-fice of Athletic Advancement. He increased fundrais-ing by more than 33 percent, helped secure the largest gift to date in the history of KSU athlet-ics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $16.1 million.

Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Director for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised over $4.6 million for the university, including $1.3 million for athletics.

Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from September 1999 through October 2000. At Saint Xavier, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group.

Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its suc-cessful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serving in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office.

Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the University of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998.

Hall and his wife, Beth, have four children, Aidan, Aislin, Donovan and Landon, and they reside in Kansas City, Mo.

The competition court serves as the home venue for UMKC volleyball in the fall, UMKC women’s basketball and select men’s basketball contests during the winter. It is also the main practice venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in The Summit League courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Original Old Swinney Gymnasium, affectionately known as “Old Swinney”, which is part of the Swinney Recreation Center received a face lift in the summer of 2010. The renovation transforms the Old Swinney Gymnasium into a modern, collegiate practice facility that will better serve the student body, faculty and staff members and community members, as well as provide outstanding training opportunities for ‘Roo student-athletes.

The $500,000 renovation plan calls for new basketball/volleyball court flooring and basketball standards and volleyball nets to be installed in the existing facility. The current skylights in the building will also be altered, which will allow for modified lighting to be put into place. The entire Old Swinney interior will be updated and scoreboards will be installed.

Victor F. swyden athletics training FacilityThe Victor F. Swyden Athletics Training Facility continues UMKC’s commitment to the

total care of each student-athlete. Under the guidance of Head Athletics Trainer Ted Ferris, the UMKC Sports Medicine staff pri-oritizes prevention, treatment and rehabilitiation in working with Kangaroo student-ath-letes.

Built in 1999, the Swyden Athletics Training Facility honors the memory of former Kansas City councilman and longtime UMKC Athletics supporter Victor F. Swyden, who headed the task-force that guided the Kangaroos from NAIA to NCAA Division I. A lifetime resident of Kansas City and a graduate of Paseo High School, Swyden was honored in 1993 with the Golden Torch Award, one of the highest honors bestowed by UMKC upon an individual.

For the 2009-10 season, the UMKC Athletics Department is teaming up with the UMKC School of Medicine Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, under the direction of Dr. Russell D. White. The Fellowship Program will provide health care for the student-athletes by staffing the training room 3-4 days per week and will also be available to see student-athletes in need of urgent care. Members of the Sports Medicine Fellowship Program will also be present at all major home sporting events and tournaments, in addition to providing assistance with any specific athletic events. Dr. George D. Harris, Dr. Meg Gibson, Dr. Billy Irons, Dr. Matt John and Dr. Emily Lott will all be serving the needs of UMKC student-athletes.

Dr. Dan Gurley, meanwhile, is entering is eighth year as the Kangaroos primary orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Grant Smith serves as the team dentist for the Kangaroos.

Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field will serve as the official home of the Kangaroos and will provide student-athletes, students and community groups with one of the top soccer facilities in The Summit League and the Midwest. The $9 million addition adds to the growing residential feel of the UMKC campus.

The gift from the Durwood Foundation and its trustees to construct this stadium is another in their long history of supporting a variety of UMKC initiatives.

Durwood will provide seating for 850 fans and a separate addition will host locker rooms, offices and concession areas.

Stanley H. Durwood was one of the University’s and the athletic program’s most

ardent supporters. His affiliation with UMKC began when NCAA Division I participation was a pipe dream. Durwood also helped establish an endowed scholarship for UMKC student-athletes.

The Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center at UMKC’s Swinney Recreation Center was officially dedicated on Sept. 22, 2004.

Led by Director of Strength, Conditioning and Sports Enhancement Trumain Carroll, the Brookfield Center is designed to help enhance UMKC student-athletes’ levels of performance while significantly reducing the chances for injuries. The benefit of performing structured strength and power training throughout the entire year will give student-athletes the op-portunity to reach new levels of physical development.

The center contains free weights, plus platforms, benches and machines and the latest car-diovascular equipment. In the summer of 2006, the area purchased the latest Sports Motion system to give student-athletes the video analysis needed to improve their techniques.

Kangaroo Head Coaches The Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund (KASF)

supports the student-athletes of UMKC through the offset-ting of expenses such as scholarships, travel, recruiting, and equipment. As costs continue to rise, support for our student-athletes through the KASF becomes more crucial as we continue to build an elite Summit League athletics department.

For the 2010-11 academic year, student-athlete scholarship expenses are expected to include: •Tuition(out-of-state):$17,692 •RoomandBoard:$10,130 •Tuition(in-state):$6,876 •BooksandFees:$1,612

In addition, over the past year it has become extremely difficult for budgets to keep pace with rising travel and food costs. While athletics must be vigilant in cost containment, we must continue to provide for the best possible student-athlete experience. That is where the KASF donors can play such a tremendous role.

Donors to the KASF enjoy a number of benefits based on their donor level, including Priority Seating, access to the pre-game Kangaroo Club hospitality parties at men’s basketball games, invitations to a number of events, complimentary media guides and gifts, and exclusive opportunities to meet the student-athletes, staff, coaches, and University leadership.

For more information on the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, please contact Cassie Molitoris, Director of Sales, at 816-235-6617.

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE As The Summit League concludes its third decade as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the ascending level of performance among the 10 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues. Now in its 29th year, The Summit League is in the midst of a renaissance, both on the playing eld and in the classroom. During the 2009-10 academic year, the League produced a national champion, 11 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and 33 Academic All-District honorees. IUPUI’s Chen Ni made history at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and highlighted the individual accomplishments in 2009-10. The sophomore became

The Summit League’s rst female national champion, and fth NCAA titlist overall, when she nished rst in the platform dive. Also garnering national recognition was Oakland men’s basketball player Keith Benson, who received The Summit League’s rst national individual award for basketball performance when he was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the nation’s Mid-Major Player of the Year. The level of performance in men’s basketball continued to rise as The Summit League was one of just six leagues outside of the “power six” conferences to have both of its championship game participants compete with RPI ratings in the top 85. The Summit League had two teams post 25-win seasons, making it one of seven leagues outside of the “power six” and one of 12 overall in Division I to make that claim. Summit League champion Oakland set new standards for season League victories (17), winning percentage (.944) and tied the mark for consecutive League wins (16). The Summit League’s Basketball Championship extended its visibility in 2010, as for the rst time in history all 14 men’s and women’s tournament games were televised, including all seven men’s contests with a national reach via an ESPN platform. Overall attendance in Sioux Falls, S.D., was the second-highest on record and a new women’s quarter nal session mark was set with 5,384 spectators. Several other sports also saw records fall during the 2009-10 campaign. In volleyball, North Dakota State set a new mark with its 37th consecutive League win en route to its second straight undefeated season. Additionally, the League set standards for postseason participation in both track & eld, where an all-time best 50 athletes quali ed for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Preliminary Rounds, and women’s basketball, where three teams advanced to postseason play. Academically, six Summit League teams were bestowed with the NCAA Public Recognition Award, an honor given to teams that have a Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. IPFW led with three teams on the list, including men’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball, while another trio of teams, UMKC volleyball, North Dakota State women’s golf and Oakland women’s golf, also received accolades. The national reach of The Summit League continues to expand with member institutions selected as hosts for NCAA Championship events, beginning with UMKC serving as a co-host for the 2010 NCAA Volleyball Championship. IUPUI will serve as a co-host for the 2011 Women’s Final Four and the 2015 Men’s Final Four and be the host for both the 2013 and 2017 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. League members were selected for several NCAA preliminary competitions with Oakland hosting the 2010 Cross Country Great Lakes Regional and 2013 Men’s Basketball First and

Second Rounds and IUPUI serving as co-host for one of the four 2013 Men’s Basketball Regionals. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fourth year of a rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 125,000 at 10 member institutions: Centenary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. In April 2009, the University of South Dakota accepted an invitation to join the league with full membership beginning in 2011-12 and currently serves as an associate member for swimming and diving. The League has one additional associate member in Eastern Illinois University, which currently competes in swimming and diving and will join in men’s soccer in 2011. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State’s 2009 softball team became the rst League member to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament rst round victory. The League has produced ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several All-Americans in the sports of track and eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball rst round picks, a pair of NBA rst rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time all-stars during their professional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

ResiDenTial liFe aT UMKCStudent housing at UMKC is about more than just offering you a place to eat and sleep - it’s about your total educational experience. Whether it’s continuing a class-room discussion over pizza, or attending a discussion with faculty outside of class, we know that having a home away from home is important. Residence Life offers you a place where you can hang out with friends, learn about others and most importantly, learn about yourself.

That’s why all housing is conveniently lo-cated on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus build-ings. Nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approxi-mately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).

The neW sTUDenT Union UMKC opened a new 109,000-square-foot Student Union in August 2010. The new Union offers a bird’s eye view of Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza, a new 329-seat theater, a two-story bookstore, new restaurants (Chick-fil-A Express, Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, SubConnection and Jazzman’s Café & Bakery) and 10,000 square-feet of space dedicated to student organizations. Located near UMKC’s residential halls at 51st and Cherry Streets, the $38.3 million Student Union features a green roof terrace and wide floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Plaza, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and UMKC’s Stanley H. Dur-wood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field.

As a member of the Kansas City community, the UMKC Athletics Department takes great pride in giving back to its neighbors and

friends. The Kangaroos outdid themselves during the 2009-10 school year by hosting a plethora of successful events and volunteering their time. Here is a short list of the community service projects that UMKC teams and student-athletes took part in:

► The UMKC Athletics Department assisted students by helping them move their personal belongings into their new homes as a part of student Move-in Day 2009. Student-athletes, coaches and administrators from all 16 athletics teams helped their fellow students move into the Oak Street Residence Hall.

► UMKC men’s basketball head coach Matt Brown coached barefoot against Western Illinois back in January in an effort to collect shoes for the non-profit organization samaritan’s Feet. Over the past two basketball seasons, UMKC supporters have brought in over 150 pairs of kid shoes for the cause. Coach Brown joined 300 basketball coaches from across the country teaming up to support this initiative.

► UMKC teamed up with The Summit League during the 2009-10 season and participated in The summit league’s students Team Up To Fight hunger (STUFH).
