The Golden Eagles

The 2004-05 season was one to be remembered in many different facets of Marquette Athletics. Its 10-season run in Conference USA came to a close in the spring of 2005 and the Golden Eagles savored success in C-USA for one final season. Enjoying its first complete season in “The Al,” the women’s basketball team also saw post-season play for the third-consecutive season earning a trip to the WNIT. Carolyn Kieger and Christina Quaye were Second Team All C-USA selections and both return to the 2005-06 squad, giving fans something to look forward this upcoming season. The volleyball team moved into “The Al” in 2004 and began its climb to the top post- ing back-to-back victories in its new home. The Golden Eagles went on to tally a 22-7 record, their best ever in Division I play, including 10 wins at home. Marquette volley- ball soared to new heights registering a record seven-game winning streak and advanc- ing to their first-ever Conference USA Championship game. The men’s basketball team kept on its winning ways and made an appearance in post- season play for the fourth consecutive season. Despite battling injuries, the Golden Eagles showed their resiliency and played as one. Travis Diener capped his stellar career at Marquette earning All-America honorable mention honors and was a First-Team All C- USA selection for the second-consecutive season. Making great strides throughout the season, the women’s soccer team proved they were contenders. The Golden Eagles recorded a four-game winning streak en route to their ninth-consecutive winning season. They amassed an overall record of 12-8-1, 7-2- 1 C-USA and were just one win shy of advancing to the C-USA championship match. Except for upsetting 11th ranked USF in Tampa Bay, Fla., the men’s soccer team endured a rough season plagued with injuries. However, with the emergence of talent- ed sophomores and juniors, the Golden Eagles are bound to bounce back. The track and field teams wrapped up the 2005 season with the men finishing fifth at the indoor conference championships and sixth in outdoor, while the women finished 10th at both championships. Overall 14 different Golden Eagles earned All-Conference USA honors, and Marquette gathered several top-five finishes at both championships. Brianna Dahm closed the book on her career as a Golden Eagle earning her second All- America honor for her seventh-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA Championships. She also advanced to the finals of the U.S. Track and Field Championships in the same event. Led by Ted Gray, Marquette landed in 10th place at the C-USA Championships for the second consecutive year while earning a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman team. With Gray around for three more years, the Golden Eagles could be a dominant force playing in the BIG EAST. For the fifth-consecutive season, the women’s cross country team won the Conference USA Championship. With the win, head coach Dave Uhrich earned his seventh C-USA Coach of the Year honor and was also named Coach-of-the-Decade. The women leave C- USA with seven team titles, more than any other women’s cross country team. The men’s team, led by a third-place finish from Brent Des Roches landed in sixth place at the C- USA Championships. The men’s tennis team finished the season with placing 11th at the conference cham- pionships. Its season was highlighted by the play of Brett Binkley who in his first sea- son at No. 4 singles tallied a 17-5 overall record. On the women’s side, sophomore Maria Calbeto returns 11 singles wins to a team that went 5-17 last season. Besides their hard work and dedication on the playing field, the Golden Eagles dis- played the same work ethic in the classroom as 112 student athletes were named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 24 of those were named C-USA Academic Medal Winners for a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Dahm was one of 29 student-athletes across the nation to be awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship and Charles Mashozhera was named men’s track and field scholar athlete of the year.

Award, the highest honor in the U.S. for volunteer service. The BIG EAST continues to thrive in the basketball arena. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA titles in the same season. With the Syracuse men and the UConn women grabbing NCAA crowns the previous year, the BIG EAST also became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in consecutive seasons. In fact, the BIG EAST has won five of the last six women’s basketball crowns and three of the last seven men’s titles. Whether it’s the student-athletes or the league as a whole, moving proactively has been a consistent strategy for the conference that was formed in 1979. The Big East has continually turned challenges into opportunities to bolster its strength. In the spring of 2001, the BIG EAST added women’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports. The inaugural women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, follow- ing a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse Universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance.
