Media Information 5 22008008 REDRED RRAIDERAIDER SSOCCEROCCER Season Preview

After returning to the Big 12 Championship for the ﬁ rst time since 1999, the Texas Tech soccer team looks to continue its rise up the conference standings under second-year head coach Tom Stone.

Like years past, the Red Raiders will still be a relatively young team in 2008 with 15 returning players, only three of whom are seniors, to go along with 11 newcomers.

The name to watch for the Red Raiders is still Brittney Harrison, however, as the junior returns after moving to defender last season. Already a proven offensive threat, Harrison connected on three goals and two assists in 2007, while also keeping a close eye on the conference’s top forwards on a daily basis.

Because of the Red Raiders’ improved depth on the back-line, Harrison is almost a “wild card” for Stone, simply because he can use her in many roles, a scorer or on the back line.

“Brittney is coming off a terrifi c season in which she earned All-Big 12 honors playing center back for the fi rst time,” Stone said. “With a full season under her belt in the back, we will again look to Brittney to lead us from the back and still be a threat to get forward when she can. Brittney’s speed is an obvious asset and she can score goals for us when she moves forward or on set pieces.” “Our goals for this season are to be better in the non-conference schedule and to build on the foun- The decision on where to place Harrison may result from the play of junior Zhaleh Rezaie and sophomore transfer Leanne Mihelich, who joins the dation for success from 2007 so that we can remain Red Raiders after a successful freshman year at the University of Arkan- competitive in the Big 12 Conference.

Overall, Tech was 4-1 when Rezaie had a goal last season.

“Leanne is a technical player with great pace who has already proven Tech opens conference play the following week against Colorado (Aug. she can score goals at the college level,” said Stone. “Leanne will pair up 29), which is the earliest Big 12 opener since falling to Nebraska on Aug. nicely with the rest of our forward line and give us the vertical threat that 27, in 1999. we have been looking for.” The Red Raiders travel to Texas-San Antonio and Murfreesboro, Tenn. for “Zhaleh fi nished the 2007 season strong with several big goals in our big- two matches at Middle Tennessee State and Alabama A&M before return- gest games.

When you become a Red Raider, you are a Red Raider for life. Founded in 1923, Texas Tech University is full of tradition and home to one of the most diverse student popula- tions in the state with a large Greek system to go along with numerous student organiza- tions. If you are looking for a university that is strong academically and athletically and has a diverse social population, then Texas Tech is the place for you. ONCE A RED RAIDER, ALWAYS A RED RAIDER

All the campus buildings on the Broadway entrance to Memorial Circle, on the Science Quadrangle and Engineering Key, are covered in thousands of red, white and orange Christmas lights. A formal ceremony, torch-lighted parade, trumpeters and season- al music precede the throwing of the switch that begins the month-long observance of the Carol of Lights. Traditionally, the event is held on the ﬁ rst Friday of December.

Double T An image study in 1989 brought out loud and clear that to Texas Techsan’s the Double T represents tradition, pride and school identity. Historical evidence suggests that Tech’s fi rst football coaches, E.Y. Free- land and Grady Higginbotham, are the originators of this campus trademark, fi rst using it on letter sweat- Did You Know? ers. No campus symbol is so readily identifi ed with Texas Tech was founded in Texas Tech as the Double T. 1923 as Texas Technologi- cal College. It became Texas Tech University in 1969 upon approval from the Texas Leg- islature.

Guns Up The hand sign of Texas Tech is the “Guns Up,” made by extending the index fi nger outward while extending the thumb upward and tucking in the middle, little and fourth fi ngers to form a gun. The idea is that Tech fans will shoot down their opponents. Masked Rider One of the most recognizable mascots in the nation is the Masked Rider. Early Tech students started the tradition on Sept. 26, 1936. Called Ghost Riders because no one knew their identity, the rider wearing a scarlet satin cape and mounted on a palomino stallion, would appear mysteriously during home football games, circle the fi eld at breakneck speed, and disappear for the remainder of the game. On Jan. 1, 1954, when Tech played in the Gator Bowl, a horse named Blackie was loanded to Joe Kirk Fulton, a student chosen to ride him. Wearing Levi’s, red shirt, red and blake cape and a black cowboy hat, Fulton led the team onto the fi eld. The dramatic entry electrifi ed the crowd as well as the team, which beat Auburn 35-13.

Raider Red Prior to the 1971 season, the Southwest Conference passed a rule that prevented members of the conference from taking live animals to non-home games unless the host team had no objections. So Jim Gaspard, a member of Saddle Tramps, created Raider Red from a drawing by Lubbock cartoonist Dirk West as an alternative to the Masked Rider when the horse couldn’t travel with the football team.

Red Raiders The name-change from Matadors to Red Raiders came from Lubbock Avalanche-Journal sports writer Collier Parris, re- ﬂ ecting on their red uniforms and a strong season. Covering a football game in 1932, he wrote: “The Red Raiders from Texas Tech, terror of the Southwest this year, swooped into the New Mexico University camp today.” The name caught on and by 1936, the Matadors had faded into history, replaced by the Red Raiders.

Victory Bells The class of 1936 gave the Victory Bells as their gift to Tech. They rang for the ﬁ rst time at the group’s graduation. They rang all night the next fall after Tech beat TCU, keeping Lub- bock residents awake. Thereafter, the ringing of the bells was limited to 30 minutes after men’s and women’s athletic victories and special occassions, such as when Tech joined the Southwest Conference, and more recently, the Big 12. The Victory Bells - one large and one small- hang in the east tower of the Administration Building. School Song The Matador Song was written by Harry Memaire and R.C. Marshall. Lemaire was band director at Tech from 1925-34. He composed the music. Marshall, editor of the La Ventana, wrote the words in 1930. The words and title represent Texas Tech’s original athletic teams’ name of Matadors. It is often sung at athletic events and occassions such as Commencement.

Will Rogers & Soapsuds Will Rogers, a humorist in the 1920s and 30s, donat- ed $200 for the Tech band to play at the football game against TCU on Oct. 20, 1926. He wanted people in Fort Worth to hear a “real band.” During this trip, Rogers was encouraged by his longtime friend Amon G. Carter to put up $1,500 to buy the band new uniforms. Carter matched the contribution. In 1948, the Amon G. Carter Foundation presented to Tech a statue of Rogers and his horse, Soapsuds, titled “Riding Into the Sunset.” Ex- ecuted by Electra Waggoner Biggs, who was only 18- years-old at the time, the statue is one of four like it in the United States. The statue was physically erected on what was known as Soapsuds Pavilion east of Memorial Circle and offset 23 degrees north from west in order to face the rear of the horse toward Texas A&M, a favorite Tech rival.

No matter the sport, Texas Tech Athletics is always in the eye of both the state and national media. The Red Raiders have become a constant attraction over the past several years as players and coaches have achieved national milestones such as Bob Knight’s 880th career victory or Michael Crabtree’s record-setting freshman football season.

“The one thing that I was certain of as soon as Tom took the job is that they would immediately be competitive. That’s his nature. He’s going to squeeze everything he can possibly squeeze out of his student-athletes as far as effort is concerned.” - Colorado Head Coach Bill Hempen

“He came highly recommended to us as an outstanding head coach. He has such strong relations with club soccer in Dallas. He’s a Dallas guy. Everything we learned about him was what we’re looking for - he’s young, he has enthusiasm and he has strong recruiting ties. Once we talked to Tom and visited with him, we felt he was the coach we wanted.” - Tech Director of Athletics Gerald Myers Assistant Coaches Aaron and Ashley Gordon “We’ve coached together for a long time, so it’s never really been an issue to speak our mind.

After a breakthrough season in only his fi rst year, Texas Tech head coach Tom Stone has quickly raised the expectations of the Red Raider soccer program. 2007 BIG 12 STANDINGS BIG 12 PTS OVERALL Not only did the Red Raiders qualify for the Big 12 Championship for the fi rst time Texas A&M 9-1-0 27 18-4-2 since 1999, but Tech also fell a couple wins shy of putting its name in the running Texas 6-2-2 20 16-4-5 for an NCAA Tournament bid, which would have been the fi rst in school history. Kansas 5-2-3 18 7-10-4 Missouri 6-4-0 18 13-8-1 Still, after looking back on the 2007 campaign, Stone and his staff have a lot to Texas Tech 5-4-1 16 7-8-2 feel good about heading into their second season. Oklahoma State 5-4-1 16 14-6-3 Colorado 5-5-0 15 10-8-4 Iowa State 4-4-2 14 8-6-5 Being hired in late May, Stone had little time to get acquainted with his new play- Oklahoma 2-7-1 7 6-10-3 ers and fully install his coaching philosophy. After starting the season 2-3-1 in its Baylor 1-8-1 4 7-10-2 non-conference slate with two matches canceled, Tech defeated Colorado in its Nebraska 1-8-1 4 5-10-4 Big 12 opener, 1-0, mostly as a result of Stone’s focus on defense.

Prior to the season, Stone moved Tech’s leading returning scorer, Brittney Har- rison, to the back line in hope that her speed and athleticism would strengthen a young back line.

After losing the next three matches to three of the league’s top four teams in Texas, Missouri and Kansas, the Red Raiders rebounded with a weekend sweep of Iowa State and Nebraska. The victory over the Cyclones ended a ten-match losing streak to Iowa State, while the Nebraska win was the ﬁ rst in program history.

Tech would add an additional point the following weekend in Norman, Okla. in a double-overtime tie against Oklahoma, before defeating the then No. 18 team in the country, Oklahoma State, two days later.

With wins in three of their last four matches, the Red Raiders carried their momen- tum into the second-annual “Battle for the Brand” game against Baylor. Down a goal in the match’s ﬁ nal ten minutes, Tech rebounded quickly with two goals from Sarabeth Clopton and Zhaleh Rezaie to guarantee the Red Raiders’ ﬁ rst winning conference record since 1996, but also a trip to the Big 12 Championship.

The Red Raiders would close the regular season with a 5-0 loss to the second- ranked Texas A&M Aggies.

While this type of loss would typically crush most teams, Tech carried its late-season success into its fi rst round match against Missouri in the Big 12 Champion- ship Quarterfi nals. Being a second-half team all season, the Red Raiders would quickly get on the board within the match’s fi rst six minutes.

After completing the match’s ﬁ rst 90 minutes in a 3-3 tie, the Red Raiders would head into their third overtime of the season. Unlike its previous two encounters, however, the Red Raiders would falter and Missouri advanced to the semiﬁ nals with a 4-3 double-overtime victory. Tech ended its season 7-8-2, 5-4-1 in the Big 12.

When looking back on the 2007 season, however, the Red Raiders took a major step in Stone’s ﬁ rst season, especially for a team that was predicted to ﬁ nish last in the pre-season coaches’ poll.

With a focus on defense, the 2007 season has raised the bar for Texas Tech soccer. Seeing this development in such little time, Stone and the Red Raiders have to feel conﬁ dent about 2008 since they will have a full season plus the spring to further develop as a team.

As the saying goes, with great success comes greater expectations. Zhaleh Rezaie led the Red Raiders in 2007 with six goals and 13 points.

Administration 77 LUBBOCK, TEXAS THE GIANT SIDE OF TEXAS

With over 210,000 people, Lub- bock is the second largest city in the Big 12 Conference. Home to the world’s largest cotton region, Lubbock has the sites and venues to keep anyone occupied. Ac- cessible by either highway or air, Lubbock has hundreds of popular restaurants, two 16-plus screen movie theaters and the largest single-story mall in the state to go along with the city’s nightlife found in the Depot District. With Texas Tech as its main attraction, Lub- bock hosts thousands of visitors a year for numerous athletic and cultural events. Home to the likes of Buddy Holly, former Lonestar frontman Richie McDonald and Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines, Lubbock is the central spot for West Texas that is surrounded by smaller communities. Lubbock is the spot for anyone looking for that perfect mixture of small town and big city life. With several lakes, amphitheaters, and the Preston Smith International Airport, Lubbock really is the giant side of Texas. With already one of the top venues in the country, the United Spirit Arena, Lubbock has hosted several of the nation’s top recording acts over the past few years. To go along with the numerous Texas Country acts that play in Lubbock yearly, the likes of George Strait, KISS, Kenny Chesney, Matchbox Twenty, the Dixie Chicks and most recently Willie Nelson and Carrie Underwood have all visited the South Plains.
