Big Expectations for 2011-12American has been picked fi rst in the Patriot League preseason poll, the second straight season the Eagles have been selected to win the league. Additionally, senior guard Lisa Strack, an All-Patriot League Second Team performer last year, has been named to the Preseason All-Patriot League Team.
20-20 VisionThe Eagles fi nished the 2010-11 season with a 22-9 record, marking the fi fth time in program history they have reached the 20-win plateau. AU’s 22 wins were tied for second-most in school history with the 2009-10 team.
View From the TopAmerican captured a share of the 2011 Patriot League
regular season title for the third time in four years. The Eagles’ .714 winning percentage (10-4) in conference play is tied for the third-best mark in program history.
Enjoying the RoadThe Eagles won 12 games last season away from Bender Arena -- nine true road games and three neutral-site contests -- which tied the program-record for most away-from-home victories in a season. AU also earned 12 triumphs away from home during the 1986-87 and 1997-98 seasons. This year, the Eagles are 1-0 away from home following the win over George Mason.
Gettin’ DefensiveLast season, American allowed 53.7 points per game, which led the Patriot League and was ranked 15th in the country. AU held its opposition to under 50 points 12 games last season, each of which have resulted in victories with the exception of the Patriot League Championship Game loss at Navy.
60 is the NumberAmerican fi nished last year a perfect 18-0 when scoring at least 60 points, a streak that was broken on Sunday with the 68-64 2OT loss to James Madison. Going back to the 2009-10 season, the Eagles had won their last 30 games when hitting the 60-point mark. Prior to James Madison, AU’s last loss when reaching 60 came on December 20, 2009, when Maryland defeated the Eagles, 75-64. Cleaning the GlassAU was 15-1 last season when outrebounding its opponent, and had won 18 games in a row when its held a rebounding margin before its February 23rd loss at Navy. In that game, the Eagles held a slight +1 rebounding margin (37-36) to snap the streak.
Shoot for the StarsThe Eagles fi nished a perfect 20-0 last season when shooting a higher percent from the fi eld compared to their opponents. Additionally, AU was 16-0 when outshooting its competition from three-point range. AU won all six of its games last year when reaching 50 percent shooting as a team and was a perfect 9-0 when registering at least 40 percent shooting from beyond-the-arc.

A Little Help from Your FriendsA big reason for American’s success last season was the strong play of its bench. The Eagles’ reserves outscored their respective opponent’s bench in 22 games of their 30 games this season with AU holding a 16-6 record in these contests. This year, AU’s bench has outscored that of its opponents in both games.
Strong Out of the GateAU completed non-conference play with a 10-4 record last year, which was tied for the third-most non-league wins in program history. The 10 victories were one shy
of the 1985-86 and1986-87 squads that registered 11 non-league wins in each season.
Setting the PacePrior to the defeat to Army on January 19 last year, American had won 11 games in a row, the sixth-longest winning streak in Division I at the time. The Eagles had not lost a game since falling at Texas Tech on November 27, and had outscored their opponents by 12.0 ppg during the stretch. The 11-game run tied a program-record for most consecutive wins, which was also accomplished during the 2007-08 season.
Record-Setting Pace to 50The win over Brown on December 31st last season was Head Coach Matt
Corkery’s 50th career victory. In his third season at the helm at American, Corkery has a 63-31 record, and he became the fastest coach to reach the 50-win milestone in program history. His winning percentage of .670 is currently second all-time in Patriot League history behind Kevin Morris’ .678, who coached at Fordham from 1993-95.

The 2011-12 season is Matt Corkery’s fourth as the head coach at American University and his seventh overall on the staff. Corkery has accumulated a 64-32 career record at the helm in his four years, including
a 32-10 mark in Patriot League play.
In his three seasons, his squads have earned two Patriot League regular season championships, two appearances in the Patriot League Championship Game, two WNIT berths, and he was honored with the 2010 Patriot League Coach of the Year award. Corkery has coached one Patriot League Player of the Year, three Patriot League All-Rookie Team honorees, fi ve All-Patriot League selections, and 21 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll picks.
Corkery has already etched his place in the Patriot League record books with his .670 career winning percentage, which is second all-time in conference history. Kevin Morris, who coached at Fordham from 1993-95, owns the best career winning percentage in Patriot League history with his .678 mark. Additionally, with a victory over Brown last December 31, Corkery became the fastest coach in program history to reach the 50-win plateau as it took him only 76 total games to that point.
The 2010-11 season was a successful campaign for Corkery’s Eagles, as they earned a share of their second straight Patriot League regular season crown with a 10-4 record. AU reached the Patriot League Championship Game for the second straight season after winning at Lehigh, the league’s two-time defending champion, in an overtime thriller in the semifi nals. American fi nished with 22 victories on the season, matching the 2009-10 team for the second-most single-season wins in program history.
The 2010-11 squad also set history with its 11-game win streak from November 28, 2010 through January 29, 2011, which matched a program record. During that span, the Eagles captured the Hawk Holiday Classic with victories over Binghamton and Brown. AU also extended its home win streak to 14 games with a midseason victory over Holy Cross, a mark that tied another program record.
The 2009-10 campaign, Corkery’s second as the head coach, was a historic season for the Eagles as they fi nished Patriot League play with a 13-1 Patriot League record, their best ever conference record. This 13-1 mark earned AU a share of the Patriot League regular season championship. American’s 22-10 overall record gave the Eagles only their fourth ever 20-win season, and the 22 triumphs were the second-most in school history. As a result, AU was rewarded with its program-record third straight postseason berth and Corkery was tabbed as the conference’s coach of the year, American’s second-ever honoree.
In Corkery’s inaugural season of 2008-09, he 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 program 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.
In addition to on-the-court success, Corkery has helped bring increased interest to the
program. The Eagles have set new attendance record in Bender Arena twice during his tenure, the fi rst time occuring on February 7, 2009, when 1,177 fans saw the Eagles defeat Lehigh, 65-56. A year later on February 13, 2010, 1,291 spectators came out to Bender to watch American roll 82-47 past Colgate.
“We are pleased with the progress that Matt and his staff have made with our women’s basketball program over the last three 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, which saw the Eagles earn the program’s fi rst-ever Patriot League regular season championship and berth in the WNIT. In 2007, he was elevated from assistant coach/recruiting coordinator to associate head coach. With the promotion, Corkery assumed additional responsibilities both on and off the court.

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.
