Her output came on an efficient 5-8 shooting from the floor, and she also chipped in a team-best five assists. Additionally, Leer became the 13th AU women’s basketball student-athlete in program history to record 1,000 career points with a three-pointer in the first half. Nicole Ryan was 4-6 from deep in the game, giving her 158 career three-pointers. She is now two trifectas shy of matching the all- time school record, which is currently held by Talicia Jackson ’09 with 160. At one point in the Mount St. Mary’s game, the Eagles made 10 straight three-point attempts. This propelled AU to a 34-6 run over a 10:15 span that covered the final minute of the first half and the first nine minutes of the second period. American’s 11 made threes in the game were tied for third most in program history, two short of the record, which was set on January 29, 2002, against Navy. Additionally, the 34 points allowed by American were tied for the second fewest given up in program history. AU surrendered 31 points against Lafayette in a 22-point victory last January 30.

Fresh off a 27-point victory at Mount St. Mary’s on Wednesday, the American University women’s basketball team will continue its season-opening road swing when it visits local-rival Maryland on Sunday, November 21 at 2 p.m.
American (2-1) was led on Wednesday by senior Liz Leer, who registered her second double-double of the season and fi fth of her career with 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Nicole Ryan was 4-6 from deep in the game, giving her 158 career three-pointers. She is now two trifectas shy of matching the all-time school record, which is currently held by Talicia Jackson ’09 with 160.
At one point in the Mount St. Mary’s game, the Eagles made 10 straight three-point attempts. This propelled AU to a 34-6 run over a 10:15 span that covered the fi nal minute of the fi rst half and the fi rst nine minutes of the second period.

A Baker’s DozenIn Wednesday’s win at Mount St. Mary’s, senior Liz Leer became the 13th AU women’s basketball student-athlete to reach 1,000 career points. Classmate Michelle Kirk is also a member of the 1,000-point club, as she currently sits fi fth in school history with 1,215 points.
Double Your PleasureLeer has recorded double-doubles in two of American’s fi rst three games this season, which gives her fi ve in her career. She registered 15 points and 13 rebounds in AU’s season-opening win at East Carolina, and put together a 16-point, 14-rebound performance in Wednesday’s triumph at Mount St. Mary’s. Her 14 rebounds matched a career-high, as did her fi ve assists against The Mount.
A Perfect 10During a stretch of Wednesday’s victory over Mount St. Mary’s, American knocked down 10 consecutive three-pointers. This came during a 10:45 run of play at the end of the fi rst half and into the fi rst 9:02 of the second period. AU fi nished with 11 made threes in the game, which tied for the second most single-game treys in program history.
Stepping Up the D AU held Mount St. Mary’s to 34 points, marking the second fewest points the Eagles have given up in a single-game in program history. The record was set when American surrendered 31 points to Lafayette last January 30 in a 22-point victory.
Seven-UpOn Monday, Michelle Kirk was named the Patriot League Player of the Week after averaging 20.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per game in AU’s fi rst two contests. For Kirk, this was her seventh PL Player of the Week selection in her career, which included a conference-high fi ve honors last season.
Gettin’ It Done From the LineIn American’s season-opening win at East Carolina, Kirk set a new school-record with her 16 made free throws. She has converted 25-30 (83.3 percent) from the line in the two contests. As a team, the Eagles made 34 free throws against ECU, the second most makes in a single-game in program history. Last season, the Eagles were 17-4 in games in which they attempted more free throws than their opponents.
Road Trippin’The Eagles are in the process of a seven-game season-opening road trip away from Bender Arena. Five of those contests are true road games while two are neutral site games in Lubbock, Texas. American will play its home opener on Thursday, December 2 against George Mason.
Keeping Up the MomentumAfter beginning the 2009-10 season with a 6-7 record, the Eagles have won 18 of their last 22 games.
Leader of the PackAmerican has been chosen fi rst in the Patriot League Preseason Poll, which was voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information directors. This marks the fi rst time AU has ever been picked to win its conference. Additionally, the Eagles have now improved by one spot in each of the last fi ve Patriot League Preseason Polls.

Standout PerformerLast season, Kirk became the fi rst AU women’s basketball student-athlete to ever be selected as the conference Player of the Year in the program’s 44-year history. She has now been picked to repeat the honor in 2010-11, which again was selected by the conference’s coaches and sports information directors. Kirk averaged a conference-best 17.7 ppg last season, and entered the season 530 points shy of breaking American’s all-time scoring record.
Not Just a Basketball PlayerIn addition to her success on the court, Kirk is a standout in the classroom, as the Communications major currently maintains a 3.73 grade-point average. Earlier this season, she was selected as a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award, which honors the top 30 women’s basketball senior student-athletes in Div. I.
Dual ThreatKirk and Leer were both named to the All-Patriot League First Team last season, the fi rst time in program history that two student-athletes have been selected to the Patriot League’s fi rst team. In 1988, Kelly Lane and Beth Shearer were both selected to the All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team, which is the only previous occasion there has been two all-conference fi rst team members from American. Additionally, Kirk and Leer become the fourth and fi fth All-PL First Team selections in AU history, and Kirk is the fi rst to ever be named multiple times. The last two-time all-league fi rst team pick occured in 1997 and 1998 with Mary Klima being selected to the All-CAA First Team both seasons.
Postseason Play AgainLast season marked the third straight year American made a postseason appearance, which set a new program record. It was the fourth WNIT berth for the Eagles in program history (1998, 2008, 2009 and 2010).
20-20 Vision American fi nished 2009-10 with 22 wins, the second most single-season victories in program history. It marked their fourth-ever 20-win season and fi rst since 1997-98.
Leadership at the TopHead Coach Matt Corkery was chosen as the Patriot League Coach of the Year last season. He became only the second women’s basketball coach in program history to be recogized with the award, joining Melissa McFerrin following the 2007-08 season.
Record-Setting VictoriesAmerican defeated Lafayette and Navy in the Patriot League Tournament Quarterfi nals and Semifi nals by a combined 53 points, which is the largest combined margin of victory in the fi rst two rounds in Patriot League Tournament history. AU’s 25-point victory over Navy in the PL Semifi nals was the largest margin of victory in the history of the PL Tournament in the semifi nal round.
Topping the ChartsAt 13-1 in conference play in 2009-10, American earned a share of the Patriot League regular season championship. This was the second ever conference regular season title for the Eagles, as AU captured it in 2008 with an 11-3 Patriot League mark.
13 is the NumberAmerican’s 13-1 record in Patriot League play set a new program record for most conference wins. The previous record was 11, which was registered three previous times in program history (11-5 in the Colonial Athletic Association in 1996-97 and 1997-98; 11-3 in the Patriot League in 2007-08).

Matt Corkery is in his third season as the head women’s basketball coach at American University. Corkery has a 44-23 career record at AU, including a 22-6 mark in Patriot League play.
The 2009-10 campaign was a historic season for Corkery’s Eagles. American fi nished Patriot League play with a 13-1 Patriot League record, its best ever conference record, and earned a share of the Patriot League regular season championship. Additionally, AU’s 22-10 overall record gave the Eagles only their fourth ever 20-win season. The 22 wins were the second most ever in school history, and AU was rewarded with its program-record third straight postseason berth.
Additionally, junior forward Michelle Kirk was named the program’s fi rst ever conference Player of the Year, as well as a ECAC Division I All-Star and Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete. Classmate Liz Leer joined her on the All-PL First Team, marking the fi rst time in program history the Eagles have had two fi rst team selections as a member of the Patriot League.
Finally, Corkery became the second AU women’s basketball coach to be named Patriot League Coach of the Year. Melissa McFerrin received the honor following the 2008 campaign.
In 2008-09, Corkery led American to a 19-12 record, which included the program’s second consecutive postseason appearance. The Eagles’ 10-5 non-conference record was the best in school history, and their 19 total victories were the most since the 1997-98 campaign. The Eagles defeated two NCAA Tournament teams, Drexel and Lehigh, during the season.
Additionally, Corkery coached three All-Patriot League selections in 2008-09, including First Team performer Michelle Kirk and All-Rookie Team honorees Ebony Edwards and Lisa Strack. Corkery oversaw the largest women’s basketball crowd in school history when 1,177 fans attended the home game against Lehigh on February 7, 2009.
“We are pleased with the progress that Matt and his staff have made with our women’s basketball program over the last two years both on and off the court,” commented Director of Athletics and Recreation Keith Gill. “He is a great teacher of the game and his passion for this team will translate into continued success for this program. We’re excited for what this season and the future will bring.”
Corkery was named to his current position on May 19, 2008 after serving
as AU’s associate head coach during the 2007-08 campaign. In total, Corkery has been on the AU staff for fi ve seasons. In 2007, he was elevated from assistant coach and recruiting coordinator to associate head coach. With the promotion, Corkery assumed additional responsibilities both on and off the court.
Corkery joined the Eagles in 2004 after spending three seasons as the associate head coach at Division II Emporia State (Kan.). During his tenure with the Hornets, Corkery helped guide the squad to a 63-25 record and No. 2 rankings nationally in both the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons.
Corkery served as an assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin University from 1999-2001. During his tenure, the Ladyjacks won consecutive Southland Conference titles and made successive appearances in the NCAA Tournament. In 2000, the Ladyjacks advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division I Tournament as a 12-seed. Corkery’s squad recorded a 54-11 record during his tenure at Stephen F. Austin.
From 1996 to 1999, as head coach at Howard College (Texas), he led the Lady Hawks to three top 10 rankings in the National Junior College Athletic Association polls and an overall record of 90-12. In 1998, Corkery was named the NJCAA Region V Coach of the Year, as his squad compiled a 34-3 record and fi nished in third-place in the NJCAA National Tournament.
Corkery earned a Bachelor’s degree in education in 1993 and a Master’s of sports and exercise sciences in 1996 from West Texas A&M University. While with the Lady Buffs, Corkery worked his way up from student assistant coach to graduate assistant and eventually earned a full-time assistant coaching position. As an assistant, Corkery mentored a Buffs squad that went 28-3, won the Lone Star Conference title and was ranked as high as No. 4 in the NCAA Division II national rankings in the 1995-96 campaign. The team’s record during Corkery’s tenure as an assistant at West Texas A&M was 120-32.
A native of Whitharral, Texas, Corkery currently resides in Washington, D.C.
