We Are Marquette

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. 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 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. 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. 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.

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.

This is Marquette 57 Marquette University

Marquette University is a Catholic, Jesuit university dedicated to serving God by serving our students and con- tributing to the advancement of knowledge. Our mission, therefore, is the search for truth, the discovery and shar- ing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and profes- sional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.

Excellence Our students, whether traditional or non-traditional, undergraduate, graduate or professional, come to Marquette University to share our commitment to the pur- suit of excellence in all things as a life-long endeavor. They come to join a community whose members -- facul- ty, staff, students, trustees, alumni and friends alike -- believe that education must encompass the whole person: spiritual and moral as well as intellectual, the heart as well as the mind. And they come seeking the education- al, professional and cultural advantages of a university located in the heart of the city. We, in turn, take serious- ly our responsibility to foster and support excellence in teaching and research, to keep a Marquette education accessible to a diverse population of students, and to offer personal attention and care to each member of the Marquette community.

Faith As a Catholic university, we are committed to the unfettered pursuit of truth under the mutually illuminat- ing powers of human intelligence and Christian faith. Our Catholic identity is expressed in our choices of curricula, our sponsorship of programs and activities devoted to the cultivation of our religious character, our ecumenical out- look, and our support of Catholic beliefs and values. Precisely because Catholicism at its best seeks to be inclu- sive, we are open to all who share our mission and seek the truth about God and the world, and we are firmly com- mitted to academic freedom as the necessary precondition for that search. We welcome and benefit enormously from the diversity of seekers within our ranks, even as we freely choose and celebrate our own Catholic identity.

Leadership As a Jesuit university, Marquette embodies the intel- lectual and religious traditions of the Society of Jesus. Through an academically-rigorous, values-centered cur- riculum, our students receive a firm grounding in the lib- eral arts, preparation for work in a world of increasing complexity and diversity, and formation for life as ethical and informed leaders in their religious, cultural, profes- sional and civic communities. They work with and learn from faculty who are true teacher scholars, whose research not only advances the sum of human knowledge, but also informs their teaching, and whose commitment to stu- dents is fundamental to their intellectual and profession- al lives.

Service Through both our academic and co-curricular pro- grams, Marquette strives to develop men and women who will dedicate their lives to the service of others, actively entering into the struggle for a more just society. We expect all members of the Marquette community, whatev- er their faith tradition, to give concrete expression to their beliefs by giving of themselves in service to those in need.

All this we pursue for the greater glory of God and the common benefit of the human community.
