2008 MEMPHIS SOFTBALL • 2 • WWW. GOT IGERSGO. COM 2008 PREVIEW Experienced lineup and talented freshmen pitching generate excitement for 2008 season

The University of Memphis softball team continued to reach program fi rsts last season, quali- fying for its fi rst Conference USA Championship and fi nishing the year with a 36-25 record. But the one fi rst that will have the biggest impact on the 2008 season is the loss of the team’s fi rst seniors at the end of last year. Memphis lost six seniors in 2007, including three starters and all of its starting pitching. As a result, the biggest question mark in 2008 will be how a freshman rotation with three talented newcomers will handle the pitching duties. Thees said she is excited in the talent of the newcomers as well as the leadership and ability of the returning players. “We don’t have experience (at pitching),” Memphis head coach Windy Thees. “That is the one thing we’re going to lack, but we have great pitching.

Gooch hit .275 on the season and committed just one error. The Nashville, Tenn., native was also a perfect six-for-six in stolen base attempts.

Donald Pickett enters his second season as an assistant softball coach for the University of Memphis. In 2008, Pickett will continue to work closely with the hitters and outfi elders. Last season, the Tigers fi nished fi fth in Conference USA with a .265 batting average and fourth with a .348 on-base percentage. The team led the league in hits and fi nished fourth in home runs with 47, 14 more than the previous season. The team’s 0.77 home runs per game average ranked 63rd nationally and its 1.23 doubles per game average ranked 76th. The 2007 Memphis outfi eld combined for 13 assists and committed just 10 errors in 209 chances, while compiling a .952 fi elding percentage. “Donald has an amazing reputation in the softball world; in both the state of Tennessee and also throughout the country,” said Memphis head coach Windy Thees. “Our players benefi t from the offensive knowledge he brings to our program.” Pickett joined the Tiger staff after spending eight seasons as a member of Frank Reed’s coaching staff, most recently serving fi ve years as an assistant at UT-Chattanooga. A native of Chattanooga, Pickett previously worked three seasons at Chatta- nooga State with Reed before following his mentor nior college tournament.

2008 MEMPHIS SOFTBALL • 19 • WWW. GOT IGERSGO. COM 2007 YEAR IN REVIEW

The University of Memphis softball program took a step forward in its second year of exis- tence in 2007. The Tigers fi nished the year with a 36-25 overall record and placed sixth in Con- ference USA with a 10-12 mark. The U of M won eight of its last 10 games in the season, including six-straight to earn its fi rst trip to the six-team C- USA Championship. At the end of the season, Memphis graduated the program’s fi rst seniors. Six players were honored for their contributions to the infant program and all six went on to earn their college degree. Those fi nishing their college playing careers in 2007 were Nicki Johnson, Jenna Kubesch, Bridgette McNulty, Christi Morrison, Lindsey Pridgen and Kara Ross.

When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. Under Coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal’s football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto – “Every Man a Tiger” – and went on to score 174 points while allowing its opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.
