Why LSU?
MALORIE RUTLEDGE Midfielder (2006-09) 3-time All-American 2-time SEC Offensive Player of the Year 3-time First-Team All-SEC
“LSU gives its student-athletes every opportunity to succeed both on and off the field. Right away, I knew I wanted to play for Brian Lee and his staff at LSU. Not only does he want his players to excel on the field, but he also pushes us to succeed in the classroom as well. That’s exactly what I was looking for in a coach when I was being recruited. I knew coming in that Brian had the ability to transform LSU into a contender and I wanted to be a part of that. My experience at LSU was more than I hoped it would be. It will always be a part of me wherever life may take me.” “Being a professional athlete, it’s easy for people in my profession to assume that’s what they will be doing for the rest of their life. The reality is that I will have a second dream job. As I continue to train and hurdle at LSU with Coach Shaver, he has continued to help me work on my resume and prepare for the day after my track career is over. He truly is a great mentor and coach, but to this day he is also a great friend. I will always be grateful to him and LSU for the many opportunities I’ve been given in my life.”
“LSU has the greatest fans. Being a hometown girl from Baton Rouge, I knew LSU always took pride in its athletic program. You always hear about Tennessee and Connecticut, but I wanted to be able to help put LSU up there on the map with them. We accomplished a lot during my time. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I got to play for one of the greatest coaches in history in Coach Gunter. I got to play with a group of women that became my family.”
“When you go back and get your degree, it says a lot about your work ethic. I accomplished things that I will never forget here. I come home to Miami, but a lot of people don’t know me like everyone in Baton Rouge and the fans. Baton Rouge and LSU has been my home. If I had to do it all over again, LSU would be the only place I would do it.”

The Tiger Cup
In 2012, the LSU Soccer program was awarded the Tiger Cup for the fourth year in a row by the Tiger Athletic Foundation for its efforts on and off the field.
LSU SOCCER’S TIGER CUP STREAK EXTENDS TO FOUR Members of the LSU Soccer program were honored for the fourth-straight season as the team most deserving of the prestigious Tiger Cup with their performance on the field, in the classroom and in the community during the annual Tiger Athletic Foundation Academic Excellence Gala held in the spring of 2012. The 2012 TAF Academic Excellence Gala was held at the Royal Cotillion Ballroom at the LSU Student Union as members from each of LSU’s 19 varsity sports were honored during the festivities. It marked the fourth-straight year in which members of the LSU Soccer program were named as the winners of the Tiger Cup after also receiving the award in 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2011, the Tigers captured their fourth SEC Western Division championship and fourth at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in five seasons while

posting a 13-8-1 overall record with an 8-3 mark and 24 points in conference play. The Tigers earned a secondplace finish in the final SEC team standings as the runner-up for the SEC Championship for the third time in four seasons. In addition to their success on the field in 2011, members of the LSU Soccer program logged 568 hours of community service to rank No. 2 among all men’s and women’s athletic programs at LSU, which equals an average of 23.5 community service hours completed per player. The Tigers also maintained an impressive 3.173 cumulative team GPA for the 2011 spring and fall semesters. LSU Soccer saw its run of winning four-straight Tiger Cups snapped in 2013 when the TAF Academic Excellence Gala was held at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on the night of March 11 that year.
WHAT IS THE TIGER CUP? The Tiger Cup is an award presented by the Tiger Athletic Foundation each year to the athletic program at LSU that best represents the University in competition, in the classroom and in the community. The recipient of the Tiger Cup is determined by combining a team’s final conference and national ranking with its performance on the field along with its cumulative team grade-point average and community service hours accumulated off the field during the previous academic year.
Head Coach Brian Lee ON THE TIGER CUP “The Tiger Cup is symbolic of everything the LSU Soccer program is all about. It embodies our daily philosophy of providing our players with a well-rounded student-athlete experience. This is a reward for the many people who play a role in our success each season, which is a testament to their hard work and dedication to our program. Most important of all are our players.”
LSU Soccer Alum Alex Ramsey ON THE TIGER CUP “What the Tiger Cup represents gives our team great motivation to keep striving for the best and working hard to meet our responsibilities in the community, in the classroom and on the field each and every season. We’re very proud of the success we’ve achieved in winning the Tiger Cup.”
LSU Soccer Alum Mo Isom ON THE TIGER CUP “The Tiger Cup is such a special award, and one that holds a prized meaning to our team. It not only recognizes athletic achievement, but more importantly, academic and community service achievement. We’re proud that we hold a bit of a legacy with respect to the award. It’s our goal every year to give everything we have to bring the trophy back to our locker room.”

“The CHAMPS/Life Skills Program is great for our student-athletes because it gives them the opportunity to give back to the Baton Rouge community and better themselves as people off the playing field.” - Brian Lee, Head Coach
Student Affairs
LSU student-athletes participate in a variety of community service projects including reading in schools, nursing home visits, hospital pediatric ward visits and speaking engagements.
& the Shaquille O’Neal Life Skills Program
Career/Professional Development
Health/Wellness
In order for student-athletes to be truly prepared for their careers, it is the goal of the Student Affairs and the Shaquille O’Neal Life Skills Program to ensure that each student-athlete will leave LSU with a professional resume, cover letter and interview experience. The program has three phases: career preparation, the “job project” and a career symposium. Many LSU studentathletes gain experience with career-developing jobs in the community during the summer months.
The goal of the Health & Wellness component of the Student Affairs division is to inform and educate studentathletes about the various health and wellness related issues that they will encounter throughout their tenure at LSU and beyond.
How can CHAMPS help? The CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program was developed by the NCAA to help prepare student-athletes for the challenges of life beyond the playing field. By focusing on “real life” skills and personal development, the CHAMPS program not only assists student-athletes with meeting daily challenges, but also enhances their growth in college years and beyond.

LSU is one of the few schools where student-athletes go through media training to enhance their communication skills. Dr. Tommy Karam and Dr. Melissa Thompson are two experts in the field who give training sessions to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and Thompson record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback, allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident when doing actual interviews.

LSU Soccer Complex
The New LSU SOCCER STADIUM The LSU Soccer Stadium has traditionally been a difficult place for visiting teams to play as the Tigers have posted a strong 45-19-14 home record for a .667 winning percentage over the last eight seasons since the team made its NCAA Tournament debut and captured its first of four SEC Western Division championships in 2007. LSU is now in a new era of SEC soccer after winning its four SEC Western Division titles with four NCAA Tournament appearances since 2007 after divisions were eliminated prior to the 2012 season, marking the first season in which teams competed as one unified SEC table. On the strength of its recent success, the LSU Soccer Stadium has received extensive renovations in recent years as the program continues its ascent to the pinnacle of the SEC and the NCAA. The venue is now a home worthy of an emerging power in women’s college soccer.

In March 2011, construction teams broke ground on Phase 2 of the renovation as $2.3 million was invested to transform the facility while creating additional seating, installing new lighting and building a new press box for the media and concession stand and restrooms for the LSU supporters to enjoy. By adding a second level of bleacher seating to the existing structure, the official capacity of the LSU Soccer Stadium increased to 2,197, easily accommodating a fanbase that has created one of the more intimidating home-field advantages in the SEC. In addition, new gates were built on the west side of the complex with brick columns throughout. New gating was also installed at the top of the bleachers. Fans attending matches at the LSU Soccer Stadium also benefit from the addition of the permanent concession stand located directly

below the press box. With the building of two new restrooms at the facility, it now features a total of four as men’s and women’s facilities are located at both ends of the stadium. Members of the media also enjoy a functional press box that has been constructed to make the covering of future matches a state-of-the-art experience. Not only does the press box interior measure 333 square feet, but hard-wired internet is available across the work space along with a wireless internet signal that has long been accessible in recent seasons. In addition, television cameras and videographers have access to the crow’s nest installed on the roof of the press box in a space that also features hard-wired internet access.

2015 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
The Tigers have been a formidable foe at the LSU Soccer Stadium under the direction of head coach Brian Lee as they enter the fall with a 51-21-16 mark and .670 winning percentage on their home ground since 2006. That includes an impressive run with an unbeaten 5-0-3 home slate in 2007, followed by an impressive 8-1 campaign in 2008, a 7-1-2 season in 2009, a 6-2-1 mark in 2010 and a stellar 7-1-1 season in 2011. While winning four SEC Western Division championships and making four trips to the NCAA Tournament in those five seasons, the Tigers posted a 33-5-7 record with a .811 winning percentage in Baton Rouge from 2007-11. In fact, LSU’s home performance is highlighted by a school record 18-game home unbeaten streak that came to an end on Oct. 26, 2008, with a 2-1 defeat to the No. 6-ranked Florida Gators. 2015 marks the 20th season in the life of the LSU Soccer Stadium, which was first opened on Sept. 13, 1996, when the Tigers hosted SEC rival Tennessee. A new era was born in 2011 with the grand re-opening of the LSU Soccer Stadium as the Tigers set the attendance record on Sept. 9 when 2,542 supporters witnessed a 1-0 blanking of the
Oregon Ducks to open the LSU Invitational. That smashed the previous attendance mark of 2,402 fans that saw the Tigers pitch a 3-0 shutout of No. 6-ranked Tennessee for the team’s first win over an opponent ranked among the Top 10 teams in the nation. The Tigers then raised the bar again in their home opener in 2012 when a new record of 2,624 fans turned out to witness the Tigers play visiting Rice to a 1-1 draw on Aug. 24 of that season. In fact, the Tigers set the all-time attendance record three times during the 2007 season and finished the campaign ranked No. 10 nationally in average attendance and No. 7 in the country in average paid attendance while drawing 1,294 fans per match. LSU nearly matched that record when finishing the 2011 campaign ranked No. 17 in the nation with an average attendance of 1,174 fans in its nine matches at the LSU Soccer Stadium. The program made history again in 2009 as the Tigers were awarded a No. 4 national seed in the NCAA Tournament and the former LSU Soccer Complex was selected as a regional host site of the NCAA First and Second Rounds for the first time, solidifying its reputation as one of the most intimidating venues in all of college soccer.

FUELING TIGERS FOR FUTURE SUCCESS Tiger AThleTic NuTriTioN
HOLDEN ARCHITECTS
The future welfare of each of LSU’s student-athletes has taken a big step forward as ground has broken on the building of the $12 million state-of-the-art Tiger Athletics Nutrition Center located where historic Alex Box Stadium once stood in the shadows of Tiger Stadium on Nicholson Drive. Approved for construction in October 2014, the Tiger Athletics Nutrition Center will be a place in which all Tigers, present and future, will be able to dine in style and fuel their future success in the field of competition. The facility, which will measure approximately 22,500 square feet, is scheduled for completion by the summer of 2016 with athletes utilizing its many functions with the start of the 2016-17 athletic season. The Tiger Athletics Nutrition Center will feature a large dining room, kitchen, lounge area and “fueling station” to be open with extended hours. A concrete plaza will encircle the building adhering to the familiar Spanish-style architecture that has become iconic with LSU’s campus. As one can see from the renderings, the building will feature a Spanish tile roof and archways in the front. There will also be seating in an outdoor plaza area lined with trees. Athletes will not only be able to fuel themselves at the new Tiger Athletics Nutrition Center, but they will also have access to on-site nutritionists that will “teach them healthy eating habits and how to prepare these meals at home,” according to the building’s proposal. The facility itself will serve all LSU athletes across the 20 varsity sports sponsored by LSU Athletics.
“The nutrition center will help our athletes learn how to eat healthy and thus benefit them for the rest of their lives,” said LSU Vice Chancellor and Athletics Director Joe Alleva. According to senior Associate Athletic Director Eddie Nunez, LSU considered several sites around campus before selecting the 1.7 acres of land at the location of the old Alex Box Stadium’s grandstands for construction of the project.

The following nine individuals are the only athletes to have their jerseys retired by LSU. Men’s basketball has retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy Macklin. Women’s basketball retired the No. 33 for Seimone Augustus. Football’s only two retired jerseys are the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor of longtime coach and former athletics director Skip Bertman and the No. 19 for Ben McDonald. Casanova, Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009. Augustus became the first woman in LSU Athletics history to have her jersey retired in January 2010.
50 Bob Pettit
23 Pete Maravich
20 Billy Cannon
33 Shaquille O’Neal
15 Skip Bertman
40 Rudy Macklin
Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953 and he later became the first player in NBA history to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.
Shaquille O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds for his career, and in 1991, he was named the World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.
“Pistol Pete” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.
A legend in the college baseball ranks, Skip Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the goldmedal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and served as LSU’s athletics director for seven years. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
One of the true legends of college football in the South, Billy Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss, 3-0, in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for a touchdown in a 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.
Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the secondleading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound record with 32, a mark that may never be broken.

2015 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
About LSU Retired Jerseys The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.
37 Tommy Casanova
Tommy Casanova is the only three-time AllAmerican in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.
19 Ben McDonald
Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award in 1989 given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the No. 1 pick in the major league draft in 1989 and went on to enjoy a 10-year major league career with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.
33 Seimone Augustus
Seimone Augustus is the only women’s basketball player in school history to earn State Farm Coaches Association All-America honors three times in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Augustus became LSU’s first NCAA National Player of the Year, and she claimed the honor twice in 2005 and 2006. A 2006 graduate of LSU, Augustus was the 2012 WNBA Finals MVP after winning a world title. She also led the United States to Olympic gold medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games.

On the Prowl Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located in the shadows of the north endzone of Tiger Stadium.
Mike THE TIGER
History of Mike
Few mascots in the country are as admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal mascot serves as the graphic image of all LSU athletic teams. The school has had six mascots, with the most recent, Mike VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007 national championship football season. LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began the search for the young tiger after his predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of renal failure at the age of 17. The 10-yearold Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Indiana, a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores. Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room. Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls

1936-1956 Trainer and namesake Mike Chambers with Mike I housed in City Park Zoo. to play to the crowd before the games. That practice was discontinued shortly afterward and today Mike participates in the pregame tradition without provocation. In the mid-1980s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home. The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

Mike I
Prior to kickoff Mike VI and the LSU cheerleaders parade around the field of Tiger Stadium.
The original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium. Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.
Mike’s Habitat In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.
Sneaux Day On Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades. The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.

The second Mike served a brief reign, lasting only through the 1957 season before dying of pneumonia in the spring of 1958. He was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956. The young tiger was held overnight in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept. 29, the opening day of the football season.
Just in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington, following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.
Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Florida, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.
Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Alabama. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.
Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Indiana. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The nine-year-old Bengal/ Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year and most recently, a 2011 Southeastern Conference championship and perfect regular season.

Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
LSU
Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his eighth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and he is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. He was named vice chancellor at LSU in August of 2009, marking the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva is currently serving a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, enhancing his reputation as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. He has been appointed to numerous national committees throughout his career, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to confirm the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary enterprise. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” a total of 71 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in December and May. LSU’s Graduation Success Rate as reported by the NCAA remains at an all-time high for the university with a score of 81. LSU studentathletes in 2014-15 logged 3,961 hours in community service work across 21 sports through LSU’s “Geaux Givers” program. Alleva’s strong commitment to academics ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that cultivates success in the classroom and the development of life skills. And with an emphasis on community outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” fosters a relationship between the local citizens and LSU student-athletes. Alleva has also bolstered the L-Club program to connect with former student-athletes, and he has supervised the thriving “Project Graduation” program in which former student-athletes return to LSU to earn their degrees. Alleva’s tenure has been distinguished by a number of significant athletic achievements, including four 10-win seasons and 69 total victories by the football team. The Tigers have played in a bowl game in each of Alleva’s seven gridiron seasons and LSU has finished in the Top 20 five times in that period. LSU under Alleva’s leadership has claimed the 2009 baseball national championship and three College World
Series berths, the 2015 men’s golf national championship, two women’s basketball Sweet 16 appearances, three gymnastics Super Six berths, two softball College World Series appearances and 16 NCAA Top 5 finishes indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. The Tigers in the past seven seasons have earned 33 individual NCAA championships in the sports of men and women’s track and field, gymnastics, men’s golf and women’s golf. LSU has captured 14 Southeastern Conference team championships, and the Tigers have won 90 individual SEC titles during Alleva’s term. The men’s golf national championship – the Tigers’ fifth title and their first since 1955 - highlighted a remarkable 2014-15 season that featured history-making performances. Sixteen of LSU’s 21 sports earned points toward the school’s No. 15 national ranking in the 2014-15 Learfield Directors’ Cup, marking the Tigers’ third finish in the Top 15 during Alleva’s tenure. The Tigers had seven Top 10 NCAA finishes, and LSU became the first school in SEC history to play in a bowl game, have both its men’s and women’s basketball teams reach the NCAA Tournament, and advance to the College World Series in baseball and softball in the same athletic year. LSU joined Florida State and Texas as the only schools in NCAA annals to accomplish the bowl game, men’s/women’s NCAA basketball tournament, and baseball/softball College World Series feat. In addition, the LSU men’s programs captured the 2014-15 Southeastern Conference All-Sports title, the first for the LSU men since 1996-97, and the LSU women finished third in the SEC all-sports standings. The baseball team led the nation in wins with 54, won the SEC title and earned a berth in the CWS for the second time in three years. The softball team reached the Women’s CWS for the second time in four years and secured the program’s first No. 1 ranking. The men’s basketball program continued its return to
national prominence by winning 22 games, finishing third in the SEC and participating in the NCAA Tournament. The men’s track and field squad placed fourth in the NCAA Outdoor Championships, and both the men’s and women’s teams posted Top 10 finishes in the NCAA Indoor Championships. The 2015 LSU gymnastics team drew sold-out crowds to the Maravich Center and won its third straight NCAA regional title. The volleyball team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the women’s golf team recorded a Top 20 NCAA finish, the men’s and women’s tennis teams recorded victories in the NCAA Tournament, and the women’s swimming and diving teams sent a schoolrecord 11 competitors to the NCAA meet. Alleva’s vision keeps LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. In the fall of 2014, LSU opened the expansion of the South End Zone of Tiger Stadium -- a project that added premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Since 2010, Alleva has directed an aggressive campaign to preserve and enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium that has included the installation of new windows, lighting systems, gating systems, and championship plazas. The Football Operations Building will soon experience a significant renovation to maintain its status as a high-functioning workplace for coaches and players. LSU’s world-renowned track and field program in 2010 received a new running surface in Bernie Moore Stadium, and extensive renovations to the Maddox Field House in the spring of 2014 give the Tigers a first-class indoor track and field venue. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to play on one of the most challenging courses in the country.
An overhaul of the LSU soccer facility was completed in the fall of 2011, converting the stadium into fan-friendly venue. This fall, LSU will open a new gymnastics practice facility and a new tennis complex featuring indoor and outdoor courts. Future plans include the construction of a modern Nutrition Center for Student-Athletes, a facility that will house full-time chefs and nutritionists for all Fighting Tiger competitors. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a three-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts over 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame.

SEASON
PREVIEW
TIGERS READY TO WRITE NEW CHAPTER IN 2015 SEASON There is but one word to describe the caliber of recruit making its way to Baton Rouge in recent seasons as head coach Brian Lee and his coaching staff look to lead the squad into the SEC title chase once again as he begins his 11th season at the helm in 2015. That word? World-class. Under Lee’s direction, the Tigers have nearly captured the SEC Championship on three occasions as runners-up on the final SEC table, including their last assault on the league title back in 2011. One member of their 2011 squad made history this summer as the first LSU Tiger to take to the field at the FIFA Women’s World Cup when former three-time All-SEC defender and 2011 SEC Defensive Player of the Year Allysha Chapman featured as Canada’s starting left back in the team’s run to the quarterfinals of the knockout rounds. Baton Rouge has become a melting pot during Lee’s tenure as this year’s squad features a roster of 24 players from seven different nations around the world. That includes 12 Tigers earning international experience at the Under-17, Under-20 and senior levels in the national teams of Canada, Colombia, England, Mexico, New Zealand and Panama along with the United States. That international pedigree is what will lead the Tigers into the 2015 season as they look to challenge two-time defending SEC Champion Texas A&M, perennial contenders Florida and a host of other programs vying for conference honors once again this fall. The Tigers will compete with an experienced squad that features 11 juniors and seniors to form their most veteran unit since they last challenged for the SEC crown when they finished up a successful 2011 campaign as the league runners-up for a third time. Alex Arlitt returns as the most experienced, and perhaps the most versatile, member of the squad as she has started 65 of the 67 matches in which she has appeared since arriving on campus as a freshman for the 2011 season. Arlitt returns as a fifth-year senior this fall after taking a medical redshirt at the end of the 2014 campaign while limited to just four appearances due to a severe ankle injury that ended what would have been her senior season. “Artie” has displayed the versatility to play any position in the midfield as both an attacking and defensive midfielder and on the back line as a central defender or right back starting matches in each position during her collegiate career with the Tigers. An All-SEC contender in her final season with the Tigers, Arlitt will certainly serve a leadership role for the Tigers both on and off the pitch as part of an eight-member senior class that will wear the purple and gold for the 2015 season. Joining Arlitt in the rotation will be fellow
26 LSU
seniors in goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano, defenders Gracie Campbell and Emma Meckfessel, midfielders Natalia Gomez-Junco, Heather Magee and Fernanda Pina and striker Lexi Gibbs. It is a senior class with a combined 197 starts in 286 appearances for the Tigers. Mexican internationals Gomez-Junco and Pina are among the team’s top six scorers from a season ago that all return to the side as the Tigers look to be led by a potent attack that is sure to trouble opposing defenses this fall. Gomez-Junco scored four goals and dished out a team-leading four assists in her first season with the Tigers in 2014, while Pina added two goals and two assists to take her career totals to 10 goals and seven assists in her three seasons at LSU. The Tigers will also feature a fierce 1-2 punch up top in the form of strike partners junior Summer Clarke and sophomore Jorian Baucom as they form one of the most feared front lines for the SEC during the 2015 season. Clarke, a Second-Team All-SEC selection and Freshman All-American in the wake of her rookie season in 2013, and Baucom, an SEC All-Freshman Team selection a year ago, combined to score 15 goals and dish out eight assists as the team’s top two scorers from last season. Baucom led the way with eight goals and four assists in her first season at LSU, while the veteran Clarke followed her freshman season in which she scored 10 goals by adding seven goals with four assists as a sophomore last fall. Baucom cashed in on a brilliant rookie season with an invitation to train with the U.S. U-20 Women’s National Team on three occasions during the spring as she has an eye on earning her place on the USA’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup squad in 2016. Also among the team’s leading scorers last fall making their return to the rotation in 2015 are Gibbs and junior AllSEC performer and New Zealand international Megan Lee as each were tied with two goals and one assist apiece on the scoring charts last season. The Tigers are certainly poised to build on last season by returning 25 of the 26 goals that were scored among the squad for an experienced attack that looks to fire the team into the NCAA Tournament and SEC title race in 2015. Other Tigers returning to the squad who look to earn their place in the starting lineup and in the playing rotation while providing the team with experienced depth at each level of the pitch are sophomore goalkeeper Lily Alfeld, sophomore central defenders Jordane Carvery and Ella Williams, and junior Mariel McLaughlin and sophomore Madeline Ramsey in the midfield. The Tigers are also excited to welcome seven newcomers to the squad, including a pair of sophomore transfers in winger Debbie Hahn from Florida State and
2015 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
striker Delaney Sheehan from Furman. Sheehan actually returns to her home state as a former two-time Louisiana Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year for 2011 and 2012 as a product of Mandeville (La.) High School. Also joining the Tigers for the first time as freshmen this season are two-time Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year Alex Thomas (New Orleans, Louisiana), Colombian U-20 striker Gabriela Maldonado (Bogota, Colombia) and Panamanian U-20 forward Jennifer Olinde (Panama City, Panama), along with freshman midfielders Fiona Snoddy (North Caldwell, New Jersey) and Chelsea Stiebing (Mandeville, Louisiana). The Tigers will kick off the 2015 regular season on the night of Aug. 21 with a trip West to Eugene, Oregon, where they will face the Oregon Ducks at Pape Field in the very first live event to be broadcast by the Pac-12 Network for the 2015-16 athletic season. While preparing for a rigorous slate of SEC fixtures, the Tigers return home for a run of seven non-conference matches that begins on Aug. 25 with the team’s 2015 home opener with in-state rival Northwestern State as fans will have their first chance to see the team in Baton Rouge. LSU will also play host to a pair of early-season tournaments when they take on Western Kentucky and Minnesota at the “Battle on the Bayou” and Ball State and Indiana at the “Stomp in the Swamp” being held at the LSU Soccer Stadium. The highlight of LSU’s non-conference is sure to follow in the month of September when they welcome the likes of Duke (Sept. 13) and Marquette (Sept. 20) to Baton Rouge. LSU’s 11-game SEC schedule is headlined by a trio of home matches against three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament a season ago as the Tigers welcome Georgia (Sept. 17), Missouri (Oct. 9) and South Carolina (Oct. 25) to the LSU Soccer Stadium this fall. Their contest against Georgia will feature live on the SEC Network with kickoff set for 7 p.m. CT. Other SEC home fixtures during the 2015 regular season feature Vanderbilt on Oct. 2 and Mississippi State on Oct. 23. There’s no question that the LSU Soccer program has firmly established itself among the nation’s elite with its performance in recent seasons, and the Tigers are hungry for more as the 2015 season draws near. When Lee took over the program in December 2004, he committed himself to “build a program that annually contends for the SEC, qualifies for the NCAA College Cup and competes to win a national championship.” With LSU’s performance under his direction in 10 seasons, his goals are now well within reach for a new generation of Tigers.
Season Preview FORWARDS
Fans turning out to the LSU Soccer Stadium this fall will be treated to an LSU Tiger team featuring a dynamic attack that looks to fire the squad into contention for honors in 2015. With All-SEC striker and Canadian international Summer Clarke partnering with SEC All-Freshman Team and U.S. Under20 Women’s National Team striker Jorian Baucom, LSU’s attack boasts a world-class front line that will pack a devastating 1-2 scoring punch for defenses throughout the SEC and NCAA for years to come. Baucom returns as the team’s leading scorer from a year ago when she turned in a prolific rookie season with eight goals and a team-leading four assists en route to her selection on the SEC All-Freshman Team following the 2014 season. It was a season that earned her an invitation
PREVIEW INTRO
to train with the U.S. U-20s on three occasions during the spring with an eye on earning her place on the squad competing at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2016. Clarke, who led the team in scoring with 10 goals and three assists as a freshman in 2013, followed Baucom with seven goals and a matching total of four assists last fall as they are one of the top scoring tandems returning to the SEC for the 2015 season. A native of Richmond, British Columbia, Clarke is a former Canadian youth international who was the leading scorer for Canada’s U-17 squad and a veteran of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup when the tournament was held in Azerbaijan in 2012. She has also spent time training with Canada’s U-20 and senior squads during
her time at LSU. Comfortable playing through the middle as a single striker or on either side of the field in a multiple-front formation, Clarke will provide the pace and precision to Baucom’s power as they will complement one another in forming a prolific strike partnership Tiger fans will enjoy. “We’re excited about the potential that this front line will provide our attack this season,” said LSU head coach Brian Lee. “We’ll be dynamic going forward for the foreseeable future with players like Summer and Jorian leading our attack.” The Tigers also return experience in the form of senior striker Lexi Gibbs as the Prairieville, Louisiana, native emerged as a reliable player in the rotation a year ago when she had two goals in her 16 appearances for the club during her
junior season. Gibbs scored both goals for the Tigers in the team’s 6-2 win over Northwestern State during the nonconference season. Not lacking in striking options this fall, Lee and his staff are also excited to welcome five new faces to the squad who will look to earn their place in the rotation up front. That includes Florida State transfer Debbie Hahn, who featured 11 times for the Seminole team that won the national championship a year ago. Hahn is likely to play as a wide forward and midfielder in her debut season with the Tigers. Joining Hahn are Furman transfer Delaney Sheehan, two-time Louisiana Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year Alex Thomas, Colombian U-20 striker Gabriela Maldonado and Panamanian U-20 striker Jennifer Olinde.
of defense in LSU’s starting 11 this fall, returns as the most most experienced, and perhaps the most versatile, member of the squad while starting 65 of the 67 matches in which she has appeared since arriving for the 2011 season. Arlitt returns as a fifth-year senior this fall after taking a medical redshirt at the end of the 2014 campaign while being limited to just four appearances with a severe ankle injury that ended what would have been her senior season. LSU’s midfield certainly features a bit of flair in the form of Mexican internationals Gomez-Junco and Pina as they also return for their senior season this fall. Both have spent time in the Mexican Women’s National Team setup during their time in Baton Rouge. Gomez-Junco, who owns a place in history as the first LSU Tiger to ever be capped at the senior level with her appearance for Mexico at the 2013 Algarve
Cup in Portugal, started all 20 matches in her debut season with the Tigers a year ago. She redshirted her first year at LSU when she transferred from the University of Memphis before the start of the 2013 season. The Mexican international scored four goals and dished out a team-leading four assists from midfield in 2014. Pina returns to the squad as one of the team’s career scoring leaders with 10 goals scored in her three previous seasons with the Tigers since 2012. After scoring four goals in each of her first two seasons with the Tigers, Pina netted twice while adding two assists playing primarily out wide in the attack. Pina is certainly one of the most experienced members of the squad returning for the 2015 season as she has made 37 starts in her 61 career appearances in an LSU uniform since her freshman season. Magee also provides the squad with valuable experience this fall as she has
started 46 of the 59 matches in which she has appeared in her three seasons in Baton Rouge, scoring four goals to date. The Texan has played across the midfield during her time with the Tigers, including stints as a holding midfielder in 2013 and as a wide attacker in 2014. Lee has also proven herself as a versatile member of the squad in her two seasons at LSU as she was a Second-Team All-SEC selection as the team’s starting left back in 2013 before she split time on the back line and in the attack a season ago. The New Zealand international could be a key figure in the midfield this fall, while also dropping back in defense when called upon. LSU’s experienced midfield unit also features the likes of McLaughlin and Ramsey as returning letterwinners from last fall. Newcomers Fiona Snoddy (North Caldwell, New Jersey) and Chelsea Stiebing (Mandeville, Louisiana) also look to slot into the midfield rotation for 2015.
throughout the fall. Arlitt has shown her versatility throughout her collegiate career while earning 65 starts in 67 appearances as both a central defender and right back in defense and in both the attacking and defensive midfield roles further forward. Arlitt looks to partner with Carvery, Meckfessel or England U-19 international Ella Williams in the middle of LSU’s defense as they are coming off strong offseason programs with a focus on strength and conditioning in the wake of their debut seasons with the Tigers last fall. A native of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Carvery is one of Canada’s top young center backs as a veteran of her country’s U-17 and U-20 squads. She arrived on campus a season ago after she lined up for the U-20 Canadian Women’s National Team at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Williams was a late addition to LSU’s
heralded recruiting class in 2014 as she inked her National Letter of Intent last summer with an impressive resume as an England youth international. A native of Leatherhead, Surrey, England, she is a former captain of England’s U-15 team before being called up to the U-17 and U-19 squads ahead of her arrival at LSU. With Arlitt, Carvery, Meckfessel and Williams providing a solid base from which to build in the center of defense, the Tigers also return last year’s starting left back as Campbell had 19 appearances with nine starts a season ago. In fact, Campbell has featured 39 times with a total of 22 starts on the back line in her two seasons with the Tigers. Lee is likely to be used more as defensive cover while lining up primarily in the midfield to start the season, and that is strong cover for the Tigers to have after
she was selected a Second-Team All-SEC left back following an impressive freshman season in 2013. A product of the New Zealand Women’s National Team system at the U-17 and U-20 levels during her youth career, Lee was called into action with New Zealand’s senior squad late in the 2013 season for the first time in her career as she joined the Football Ferns in their two-match series against the FIFA Women’s World Cup champion United States. Lee became just the second LSU Tiger in program history to earn an international cap at the senior level when she featured as a late defensive substitution at left back in New Zealand’s 1-1 draw against the United States in their finale at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Colombian Women’s National team for the first time in her career in the weeks leading up to the start of preseason training in 2014 as part of the player pool used with selection for the 2014 Women’s Copa America. The two-week training camp in the Colombian capital of Bogota was Rubiano’s first experience competing at international level, and she certainly used that experience when starting for the Tigers for the first time late in the 2014 season. She returns to the squad battling Alfeld for the No. 1 spot in goal once again in 2015. Alfeld, who hails from Christchurch, New Zealand, is certainly one of the world’s top goalkeeper prospects with her performance at the youth level while competing with New Zealand at FIFA Women’s World Cups at the U-17 and U-20
levels. In fact, Alfeld was her nation’s starting goalkeeper at the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan and 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada before her arrival in Baton Rouge. Among her accolades was being named the “Player of the Match” in New Zealand’s first match against Mexico in group play at the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. After earning seven international caps with New Zealand’s U-17 squad, Alfeld served as the starting goalkeeper for the Junior Football Ferns at the U-20 level in 2013 and 2014. She made 16 appearances with 14 starts in goal for the Tigers in her rookie season as she ended the campaign with a 1.53 goals against average after allowing 23 goals to LSU’s opponents on the year. Alfeld also kept four clean sheets in her
MIDFIELDERS One look at the makeup of LSU’s squad with each passing season of the Brian Lee era reveals that the success of the Tigers is built on the foundation of a strong midfield as they feature one of the SEC’s elite units year in and year out. In fact, of the 20 first-team or second-team All-SEC honors earned by the Tigers in 10 previous seasons under Lee’s direction, 13 have been won by the midfield as the group leads the charge in attack and provides the first line of defense. Following in the footsteps of two-time SEC Player of the Year Malorie Rutledge and All-SEC performers Melissa Clarke, Emma Fletcher and Natalie Martineau, seniors Alex Arlitt, Natalia Gomez-Junco, Heather Magee and Fernanda Pina will team with junior All-SEC standout Megan Lee, junior Mariel McLaughlin and sophomore Madeline Ramsey in a pool of players that look to earn their place in the rotation his fall. Arlitt, who could also slot into the center
DEFENDERS Preseason training is a crucial time in the 2015 calendar as head coach Brian Lee and his staff work to form LSU’s defensive back line into a cohesive unit that will look to keep opposing teams off the scoresheet this fall. They will have some experienced hands on deck with the likes of senior leaders Alex Arlitt, Gracie Campbell and Emma Meckfessel, junior Second-Team All-SEC defender Megan Lee and sophomore Canadian Under-20 international Jordane Carvery all with starting experience on their side in the SEC as they head into the start of the 2015 season. While it is possible that Arlitt will feature in the midfield at times this season, she is set to start her senior season in the center of defense giving LSU’s back line the leadership necessary to play together as a cohesive unit
GOALKEEPERS Like the forward line, midfield and back line, the Tigers are blessed with international experience in goal in 2015 as they return both shot-stoppers from last year’s squad with Catalina Rubiano returning for her senior season and Lily Alfeld coming back for her sophomore season in the fall. They combined to start all 20 matches for the Tigers a season ago. Rubiano ended the 2014 campaign as LSU’s starting goalkeeper while appearing in each of the team’s final seven matches of the season. It marked her first action as a Tiger after making her debut against the sixth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies late in the SEC season. A product of St. Mary’s Dominican High School in New Orleans, Rubiano was actually called into action with the
debut season in college soccer, including a 2-0 victory over Troy, a 3-0 win over Nicholls, a 0-0 shutout of Stephen F. Austin and 2-0 win over Mississippi State in SEC play last fall. “We’re fortunate to enter this season with two experienced goalkeepers that we can count on to provide a solid foundation for us in defense,” Lee said. “We didn’t necessarily have that last year when replacing a four-year starter in Megan Kinneman. We are pleased with the progression of both Lily and Catalina as they battle it out to win that starting role in goal.”

BRIAN HEAD COACH 11TH SEASON
LEE
THE VISION
LSU is the sleeping giant of college soccer. My vision for LSU is to build a program that annually contends to win the SEC, qualifies for the NCAA College Cup and competes to win a National Championship. The foundation that we’ve built has given us that opportunity to recruit and compete at the highest level of college soccer.
THE PHILOSOPHY
I believe in a commitment to excellence from our players, coaches and staff in all facets of the program. We will provide an environment in which our student-athletes can maximize their full potential as students in competition, in the classroom and in the community.
The Brian Lee Era When Brian Lee took the reigns of the LSU Soccer program in December 2004, he envisioned a program with the potential to be a perennial contender for the Southeastern Conference championship and an annual participant in the NCAA Tournament. His bold vision to transform LSU Soccer into a nationally-respected program has produced unprecedented results as the Tigers are ready to take to the field again in 2015. Lee has guided the Tigers into a new era of SEC soccer after winning four SEC Western Division championships and earning four trips to the NCAA Tournament through the 2011 season. That includes an impressive three-year run for the program in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and its return near the top of the SEC table again in 2011. The Tigers have twice advanced to the Round of 32 at the NCAA Tournament during the 2007 and 2009 seasons. The Tigers have also proven themselves as perennial contenders for the SEC regular season championship while claiming second place in the final conference standings in 2008, 2009 and 2011 to match their best SEC finish in program history. Only perennial power Florida has earned more first-place and secondplace finishes in the SEC standings more times than LSU over the past nine seasons as the Gators (8) and Tigers (3) lead the league alongside Texas A&M (3). In Lee’s 10 seasons in Baton Rouge, the Tigers have posted a 102-7733 overall record with a 50-45-17 mark against conference opponents. And since capturing its first SEC West title in 2007, LSU has posted a 43-34-13 record against SEC teams in the regular season, including a school record eight SEC wins in 2009 and 2011.
Tigers Shine in National Spotlight LSU soared to new heights in 2009 by matching the school wins record with a 15-4-5 overall mark and establishing a new school record with an 8-2-1 mark and 25 points in SEC play. For the second-straight season, the Tigers finished in second place in the final SEC standings and just one point shy of Florida for their first ever SEC Championship. LSU then took a No. 2 seed to the SEC Tournament and advanced to the conference final for the first time in program history. The Tigers were rewarded for their outstanding performance with a No. 4 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, while serving as a regional host for the first time in team history and advancing to the NCAA Second Round for the second time in three seasons following a first ever appearance in the second round of the postseason in 2007. Their effort helped land a No. 14 national ranking at the end of the 2009 season in the final Top 25 ranking released by the National Soccer

Coaches Association of America. It marked the second year in a row for LSU to finish a campaign as high as No. 14 in the national rankings. Midfielder Malorie Rutledge was at the center of LSU’s emergence into the national spotlight. After being recruited by Lee as part of a heralded Class of 2006, the Sharpsburg, Georgia, product wrapped up her collegiate career in 2009 as the most decorated Tiger to step on the pitch. Rutledge earned consensus All-America accolades in 2008 and 2009, while also being picked as a two-time SEC Offensive Player of the Year and threetime First-Team All-SEC performer during her brilliant career. Rutledge rewrote the school record books in four seasons in Baton Rouge while setting LSU career records with 46 assists and 102 points from 2006-09. She added 28 goals as the club’s most prolific scorer in its 20 years of collegiate competition. Rutledge wrapped up her career with an NCAA-leading 18 assists as a senior in 2009 in shattering her own team single-season mark. While Lee has coached 20 Tigers to 37 All-SEC selections in his 10 seasons, LSU was recognized with a team-best five all-conference selections in 2009. Joining Rutledge on the All-SEC squad were defender Chelsea Potts (first-team), midfielder Allysha Chapman (second-team), midfielder Melissa Clarke (second-team) and forward Carlie Banks (all-freshman). Both Clarke and Potts ended their collegiate careers in 2009 as threetime All-SEC performers following their senior season. The Tigers nearly matched that performance in 2011 as they again finished runner-up for the SEC Championship with a 13-8-1 record and their second-best league mark in program history at 8-3 with 24 points on the final SEC table. That earned the Tigers their fourth SEC West title and fourth at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament in a five-year span. Chapman led the charge for the Tigers in 2011 with her second FirstTeam All-SEC selection and third All-SEC honor in her collegiate career. She also made history by becoming the first LSU Tiger to be selected the SEC Defensive Player of the Year with her performance as one of the premier defensive talents in all of college soccer. Five Tigers were again honored as All-SEC selections in 2011 as Chapman was joined on the squad by seniors Taryne Boudreau (first-team) and Natalie Martineau (second-team) and freshmen Alex Arlitt (allfreshman) and Jodi Calloway (all-freshman). Chapman has since gone on to star for the Canadian Women’s National Team during her professional career, even making history in the summer of 2015 while becoming the first Tiger to ever play at the FIFA Women’s World Cup as Canada’s starting left back throughout the event. LSU Soccer made history once again in 2013 when it became the first team SEC history to feature at least three freshmen on the All-SEC team in a single season with first-team, second-team or honorable mention
all-conference honors. Striker Summer Clarke, midfielder Emma Fletcher and defender Megan Lee were each honored as Second-Team All-SEC performers in the wake of outstanding rookie seasons with the Tigers in 2013. Clarke, Fletcher and Lee were also honored among the top freshmen nationally with their selection to Freshman All-American teams by Soccer America and TopDrawerSoccer.com. Individually, Lee has coached five athletes to All-America honors and nine athletes to Freshman All-America honors in 21 seasons as a head coach. In addition, he has coached four Southern Conference Players of the Year, five Southern Conference Freshmen of the Year and three SEC Players of the Year, while guiding his athletes to a total of 87 allconference selections since his first season as a head coach in 1994. Despite finishing in 12th place in the final SEC standings in each of the previous two seasons prior to Lee’s arrival in Baton Rouge, LSU Soccer has shown steady progress and continued staying power in their ascent to the top of the SEC as the squad finished in eighth place in 2005 and 2006, fourth place in 2007 and second place in 2008, 2009 and 2011. The Tigers have also been a staple in the national rankings in recent seasons while cracking the Top 25 nationally in all major polls. LSU’s climbed as high as No. 9 in 2008, No. 10 in 2009, No. 18 in 2010, No. 14 in 2011 and No. 25 in 2013 in the national rankings.
Tigers Battle Nation’s Elite Lee and his dedicated coaching staff have built a program with the ability to compete with anyone in women’s college soccer. That was never more evident than in 2007 when LSU battled No. 4-ranked Texas to a 2-2 draw on the road in Austin and dominated No. 6-ranked Tennessee by a 3-0 margin at home for the program’s first victory against an opponent ranked as one of the Top 10 teams in the country. The Tigers were impressive again in 2009 when they earned a pair of shutout wins versus teams in the Top 10 of the polls with a 6-0 blanking of No. 8-ranked Georgia and a 1-0 shutout of No. 10-ranked South Carolina in a pair of matches played at the LSU Soccer Stadium. The Tigers and Gamecocks then battled to a 1-1 draw in the SEC Tournament final during the 2009 season as South Carolina took the tournament title with a marathon 8-7 decision in penalty kicks. In 2011, LSU Soccer earned its fourth at-large NCAA Tournament berth in five seasons on the strength of a resume that featured a pair of shutout wins over No. 10 Tennessee and No. 11 Florida in conference play en route to a third runner-up finish in the final SEC standings. With the Volunteers bringing a Top 10 national ranking to Baton Rouge for the second time in three seasons, the Tigers were dominant in a 2-0 shutout to extend their unbeaten streak to four-straight in the series. The
Tigers then made history with a trip to Gainesville, Florida, on Oct. 23 of the 2011 season as they pitched a 1-0 shutout for their first victory over the powerful Gators and hand Florida only its fourth defeat in SEC play at Pressly Stadium in its history. The Tigers have since earned a pair of wins over nationally-ranked opponents in their inaugural meeting on the pitch in recent seasons with a 3-1 road triumph over 16th-ranked Missouri for their signature win of 2012 and a 1-0 shutout of 13th-ranked Southern California in a match played at a neutral site at the Minnesota Gold Classic in 2013. The Tigers have more than proven themselves as an elite program during Lee’s 10 seasons in Baton Rouge as they have now scored eight wins and nine draws against ranked teams since the 2007 season.
LSU Soccer: A Box Office Smash Lee’s impact has not only been felt with unprecedented results on the field, but also at the box office as record crowds have packed the LSU Soccer Stadium week in and week out to watch the Tigers in action since his arrival in Baton Rouge. The 2011 season witnessed the birth of a new era of LSU Soccer as the Tigers christened the new LSU Soccer Stadium on the night of Sept. 9 with a dramatic 1-0 shutout of the Oregon Ducks before a record crowd of 2,542 supporters on hand for the festivities. It proved a fitting end to a night of celebration of one of the top rising programs in all of college soccer as the squad opened a stadium that stands as one of the true jewels of the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers wrapped up the 2011 campaign ranked among the Top 20 teams nationwide in average attendance while drawing an average of 1,174 fans in their nine matches played at the new LSU Soccer Stadium to stand as the NCAA’s No. 17-ranked program at the box office. They then raised their attendance record again in 2012 when 2,624 supporters witnessed a 1-1 draw with the visiting Rice Owls in their home opener on Aug. 24. The 2007 season proved to be unlike any other in the history of the program as the Tigers were unbeaten at the LSU Soccer Stadium for the first time with a 5-0-3 record while drawing an average of 1,294 fans per match. That ranked LSU Soccer among the Top 10 teams in the country in average attendance for the first time as the team finished the season at No. 7 in the NCAA with average paid attendance. The Tigers set three single-game attendance records on the season which includes a crowd of 2,402 for its 3-0 win over No. 6 Tennessee on Oct. 5, 2007. LSU Soccer has proven formidable on its home turf while following an unbeaten season in 2007 at 8-1 in 2008, 7-1-2 in 2009, 6-1-2 in 2010 and 7-1-1 in 2011.
Tigers Lead by Example Not only have the Tigers proven to be one of the SEC’s top programs with their effort on the field in 10 seasons under Lee’s direction, but they have also taken great pride in their performance off the field as they are the unquestioned University leaders in community service as winners of four-straight Tiger Cups from 2009-12. The Tiger Cup is presented each season by the Tiger Athletic Foundation as part of the annual TAF Academic Excellence Gala to the athletic program that best represents the University with its performance on and off the field. The winner of the Tiger Cup is determined using a point system based on a team’s final conference and national ranking, cumulative team grade-point average and community service hours accumulated during the previous academic year. Lee’s athletes boast a proven track record in the classroom as his teams have earned nine NSCAA Team Academic Awards. A total of 122 student-athletes were selected to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in his 11 years at Furman, while 118 Tigers have been named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in his 10 seasons in Baton Rouge. LSU Soccer actually set a program record following the 2011, 2013 and 2014 seasons with 14 selections to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll each year, eclipsing its previous team best of 11 selections that was set four previous times in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Lee Brings Proven Track Record to Tigers Winning conference titles and leading a nationally-prominent program are nothing new for the native of Cheltenham, England, who led the Furman Lady Paladins to six Southern Conference Championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances during his 11-year tenure after starting the program from scratch in 1994. In 11 seasons, Lee’s teams amassed a 144-80-10 overall record, including an impressive 76-16-3 mark in conference play. The Lady Paladins went undefeated in conference play three times (1999, 2000, 2002) and were just shy of perfection in 2003 after finishing the season with a 10-0-1 record in Southern Conference play. For his many accomplishments, Lee was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year five times and was named the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 1999, the same year in which he was selected as a finalist for the NSCAA National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to his experience coaching at the collegiate level, Lee served on the staff of the Region III Olympic Development Program Team from 1999-2008, while reaching the rank of assistant coach of the Region III ODP Team in 2006. In 2014, Lee rejoined the coaching staff for the Region III ODP Team as the head coach of the Under-15 age group. A successful athlete in his own right, Lee earned four letters with the Furman men’s soccer team from 1989-92 as an integral part of three Southern Conference titles and was voted team captain and selected as the team’s Most Valuable Player as a senior. He also led his team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1991. Lee, 43, graduated from Furman in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He and his wife, the former Nancy Repsher of Westboro, Massachusetts, and also a 1993 graduate of Furman, have two children – Aidan, 11, and Abby, 10.

COACH LEE ON HENSLEY: “We certainly would not enjoy the kind of success we do now without the leadership that Debbie brings to this coaching staff. She is an outstanding leader of young women, and she has helped us attract many of the best players in the country to LSU with her tremendous recruiting ability. Her passion for the sport is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever worked with.”

2015 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
There is no doubt that in order for a program to compete for championships year in and year out, it must have an outstanding coaching staff in place to guide the way. In 10 seasons as a member of Brian Lee’s staff at LSU, Debbie Hensley has more than proven herself as one of the top assistant coaches in the country while helping lead the Tigers into national prominence as one of the premier programs in the Southeastern Conference. It is for that reason that Hensley was promoted to the rank of associate head coach before the start of the 2008 campaign as she now enters her 11th season at LSU. Adding Hensley to his staff was an easy decision for Lee when he took the head coaching position in December 2004 after coaching together at Furman for three years. “We certainly would not enjoy the kind of success we do now without the leadership that Debbie brings to this coaching staff,” Lee said. “She is an outstanding leader of young women, and she has helped us attract many of the best players in the country to LSU with her tremendous recruiting ability. Her passion for the sport is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever worked with.” That passion has certainly paid dividends on the field as Hensley has helped build LSU into the championshipcontending program it is today. In this new era of SEC soccer, the club has proven itself among the league’s elite since winning its first SEC Western Division championship in 2007. LSU claimed four division titles and made four trips to the NCAA Tournament in a five-year span during the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 seasons. LSU has also been on the cusp of claiming its first ever SEC Championship with a trio of second-place finishes on the league table during that time. It includes a record-breaking 2009 season during which the Tigers finished in second place in the final conference standings for the second year in a row while tying their school record for wins with a 15-4-5 overall record and establishing a school record output with an 8-2-1 mark and 25 points in SEC play. LSU was close to matching that effort in 2011 as the SEC runner-up again with an 8-3 conference record. In 2010, the Tigers advanced to the SEC Tournament semifinal for the fourth season in a row, joining the Florida Gators as the only programs in the SEC to advance to the semifinal round of the conference tourney in each season from 2007-10. Hensley has been a driving force in that success as she has established a reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters attracting many of the best players in the country to Baton Rouge. She led the way in LSU signing its first ever Top 25 recruiting class in 2005 as the Tigers were ranked No. 25 on the recruiting trail in her first season on staff. Hensley followed that effort in 2006 by helping Lee sign the first Top 10 recruiting class in the program’s history with a crop of future stars ranked No. 7 nationally in the Soccer Buzz Magazine recruiting rankings. The Class of 2006 is the most decorated class in the history of the LSU Soccer program as it completed its eligibility in 2009 with a class record of 50 wins in four seasons from 2006-09. The group captured three SEC West titles, earned three NCAA Tournament selections, placed No. 2 in the final SEC standings twice and combined for 10 All-America and 12 All-SEC picks in four seasons in Baton Rouge. A foundation is in place for the Tigers to compete at the highest level of college soccer for years to come after welcoming three-straight recruiting classes to Baton Rouge for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons that were all rated among the Top 15 nationally on National Signing Day. The Tigers will line up with an international flair in 2015 as this year’s squad features 12 players with international experience as products of the Women’s National Team systems in Canada, Colombia, England, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama and the United States. “There’s no doubt that recruiting is the lifeblood of any program at this level, and we are certainly fortunate to have someone like Debbie leading our recruiting efforts,” Lee said. “She is an outstanding evaluator of talent and has the ability to target the players we feel can thrive in our program both on and off the field. That’s been a key in building the foundation we have now.” Hensley compiled a 60-52-9 record in six years at Western Carolina after starting the program from scratch prior to the 1999 season. She led the Catamounts to a 10-9-1 record and a Southern Conference Tournament appearance in her inaugural season and was named the SoCon Coach of the Year in 2001 after guiding the team to the Southern Conference regular season title with a 16-6 overall record and 8-2 mark in league play. Hensley coached seven players to 11 All-Southern Conference honors in her time at Western Carolina, a total that includes three first-team selections. In addition to her duties as head coach of the program, Hensley also served as university’s Assistant Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator. Prior to her stint at WCU, Hensley spent three seasons as an assistant coach under Lee at Furman where she recruited eight players who earned all-conference accolades in their careers. Along with her coaching achievements, Hensley garnered recognition during her athletic career as a soccer and softball standout at Georgia Southern where she was a three-time first-team All-SoCon selection and led the conference in scoring as both a junior and a senior. Hensley was selected to play in the Umbro Select College All-Star Classic after being named an NSCAA Regional All-American and All-Region honoree in 1995, and she was named the Georgia Female College Athlete of the Year by the Georgia Hall of Fame the same year. The two-sport standout was also a first-team all-conference selection in softball as she set the Georgia Southern career record for stolen bases and runs scored. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from Georgia Southern in 1996 and a master’s degree in health and exercise science from Furman in 1998.
Assistant Coach LSU Soccer head coach Brian Lee announced on July 31, 2014, the addition of William Carey University men’s and women’s assistant and goalkeepers coach Carl Goody to his staff as a volunteer assistant coach for the upcoming campaign. After serving one season as an assistant to Lee as the team’s goalkeepers coach, Goody has been appointed a full-time member of the staff as an assistant coach ahead of the start of the 2015 season in August. Among Goody’s primary responsibilities with the Tigers will be molding a young defensive unit while coaching the team’s goalkeepers and assisting with all other day-to-day duties with the program. “Carl was the first name off the tongue of some of the best coaches in the country when I went on the search for a top-notch goalkeeper coach to join us last fall,” Lee said of Goody joining the program last season. “He has proven in his time with us that he possesses all of the qualities needed to excel at this level, and we’re excited that he will continue working with us as a full-time assistant this fall. “His experience at William Carey with some outstanding teams and coaches, and his time with us last season shows that he is a perfect fit for our program and what we are striving to accomplish at LSU.” Goody served as an assistant and goalkeepers coach with both the men’s and women’s programs at William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for two seasons in 2012 and 2013. As a member of the staff, the WCU women were the undefeated champions of the Southern States Athletic Conference in 2013, posting a perfect 11-0 record in SSAC play. The squad also advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NAIA National Tournament while wrapping up the season with an impressive 18-5 overall mark in 2013. The WCU women were led by an outstanding defense that featured two-time First-Team All-SSAC and two-time NAIA All-American goalkeeper Linfah Jones. Goody also coached Jones to SSAC Freshman of the Year honors in 2012 and a pair of SSAC Defensive Player of the Week awards in his two seasons on staff at William Carey University. The WCU men featured an All-SSAC goalkeeper of their own as Goody also coached Charlie Laridan to a Second-Team All-SSAC selection and a pair of SSAC Defensive Player of the Week awards during the 2013 season. While working with the men’s and women’s programs at WCU, Goody also served as Director of Goalkeeping with the Hattiesburg Youth Soccer Association for two seasons. An accomplished goalkeeper in his own right, Goody followed his All-American collegiate career at William Carey as a trialist with Doncaster Rovers formerly of the English Sky Bet Championship division and as a training member with DC United of Major League Soccer in 2012. He was also the team captain and Player of the Year with the Gulf Coast Texans of the National Premier Soccer League during their 2013 campaign. Goody wrapped up his collegiate career as First-Team NAIA All-American and First-Team All-SSAC and SSAC AllTournament Team selection during his senior season in 2011. He set WCU’s single-season school record with 12 clean sheets while leading the squad to the NAIA Final Four in the NAIA National Tournament in 2011. It was a senior season highlighted by a streak of eight-straight clean sheets during his final season at WCU. “I want to thank Coach (Brian) Lee for giving me the opportunity to coach at such a prestigious school like LSU,” Goody said. “I’m honored to be a part of this soccer program and am looking forward to working with LSU’s goalkeepers and competing at the highest level in the SEC and NCAA this fall.” Goody has earned two degrees from William Carey University with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education with a minor in business and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology. In addition, he has a U.S. Soccer Federation “D” Certificate, National Soccer Coaches Association of America National Diploma and Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma, and is also FA Level 1 certified.

LAURA LAMBERTH DIRECTOR OF SOCCER OPERATIONS SECOND SEASON
Head coach Brian Lee and his staff announced the hiring of former East Tennessee State University graduate assistant women’s coach Laura Lamberth as the LSU Soccer program’s first full-time Director of Soccer Operations on Feb. 17, 2014, at the start of its spring training campaign. Lamberth now enters her second season with the program as the team’s Director of Soccer Operations. Lamberth joined the LSU Soccer program after serving two seasons as a Graduate Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach at East Tennessee State in 2012 and 2013.

It was only after an exhaustive search that Laura emerged as the best candidate for our staff and our program,” Lee said of Lamberth’s hiring last year. “Laura had an outpouring of support from a number of coaches I have a great amount of respect for and have known for a long time. “We’re excited that she is a part of our LSU Soccer family as our first full-time director of Soccer Operations
and the impact she will have on our program in the future.” An experienced player in her own right, Lamberth was a four-year member of the women’s program at Middle Tennessee State from 2008-11 where she helped lead the team to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament berth during the 2010 campaign. She was also honored for her academic performance while attending Middle Tennessee State as a member of the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society and a four-year member of the Sun Belt Commissioner’s List from 2008-11. Lamberth graduated from Middle Tennessee State in just three and a half years in December 2011 with her Bachelor of Science degree in health and human performance. She then maintained an impressive 4.0 gradepoint average while graduating from East Tennessee State in December 2013 with a master’s degree in kinesiology and sport studies with a concentration in sport management. Following her playing career at Middle Tennessee State, Lamberth earned her U.S. Soccer Federation National “B” License and USSF National Goalkeeping License.

CHAPMAN MAKES HISTORY AT WORLD CUP WITH CANADA
BAUCOM TRAINS WITH U-20 U.S. WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM
History was made at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada this summer as Allysha Chapman became the first LSU Tiger to appear in the event as she earned her spot in the lineup as Canada’s starting left back throughout the tournament. While playing every minute in their five matches, Chapman proved to be a catalyst in leading the host nation to the World Cup quarterfinals on their home soil before being bounced out of the knockout rounds with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of England in Vancouver on June 27. Despite not advancing to the semifinal round, the 2011 SEC Defensive Player of the Year cemented her place in the team for years to come as one of the first names on John Herdman’s team sheet each time the Maple Leafs take to the field. She has now made 17 appearances with a total of 15 starts for Canada’s senior squad since making her debut with her first international cap against Japan on Oct. 25, 2014.
Baucom capitalized on the promise she showed during her freshman season with the Tigers last fall with an invitation to train with the Under-20 U.S. Women’s National Team on three separate occasions during the 2015 spring season as she looks to earn her place in the team for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup to be held in Papua New Guinea. Baucom trained with the team at U.S. Soccer’s National Training Center in Carson, California, in April and May before turning up at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in nearby Chula Vista in July. When not training with the U.S. U-20s, she led the Tigers in scoring this spring season with three goals in her four appearances as the Tigers posted a 3-1-1 record in exhibition play.
FRESHMEN GARNER ALL-SEC RECOGNITION IN 2014 SEASON Two members of LSU’s heralded recruiting Class of 2014 were recognized as members of the 2014 Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team for their efforts last fall as striker Jorian Baucom and defender Alexis Urch were among those announced in the SEC’s postseason awards on Nov. 2. With the announcement of Baucom and Urch to the 2014 SEC All-Freshman Team, it marks the 11th-straight season in which at least one LSU Tiger has been honored as an All-SEC performer as either a first-team, second-team or all-freshman selection dating back to the 2004 season. A former five-star and Top 20 recruit nationally in the TopDrawerSoccer.com Top 100 recruit rankings for 2014, Baucom scored a team-leading eight goals and four assists for 20 points on the campaign. A fourstar recruit from Round Rock High School in Round Rock, Texas, Urch started all 20 matches in central defense for the Tigers as a leader on a youthful defensive back line in her debut campaign.
CLARKE, BAUCOM PACK 1-2 SCORING PUNCH UP FRONT IN 2014 The Tigers featured a 1-2 scoring punch up front that will serve them for years to come after sophomore All-SEC striker Summer Clarke and Baucom combined to score 15 goals for the club during the 2014 season. Baucom led the line with eight goals as the top-scoring Tiger in her debut season, while Clarke followed her All-SEC freshman season in 2013 in which she scored a team-leading 10 goals with a sophomore season last fall when she followed Baucom with seven goals to her credit. Not only did they prove to be the team’s top goal threats last season, but Clarke and Baucom each ended the season tied as the team’s leading assist makers with four assists to their credit in 2014. Junior midfielder Natalia GomezJunco also finished off the campaign as a team leader with four assist of her own to match LSU’s strike partnership.
LSU ROOKIES RANKED AMONG NATION’S TOP FRESHMEN Two of LSU’s heralded freshmen were ranked among the Top 25 rookies nationwide at the end of the 2014 season when striker Jorian Baucom and defender Jordane Carvery received their share of recognition from TopDrawerSoccer.com. Not only did Baucom earn her selection to the SEC All-Freshman Team as one of the SEC’s top rookies, but she was ranked the No. 11-ranked freshman nationwide in TopDrawerSoccer.com’s final player rankings for the 2014 season. Carvery also cracked the Top 25 of the publication’s ranking of the top freshmen nationally last fall as the No. 22-ranked rookie in all of college soccer with her performance. Carvery emerged as one of the nation’s top young central defenders while teaming with fellow freshman and SEC All-Freshman Team member Alexis Urch on the pitch throughout the 2014 season.
BAUCOM EARNS SEC FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR HONOR After being selected as a member of the SEC All-Freshman Team by the league’s head coaches earlier in the same week, Jorian Baucom was also named the SEC Freshman of the Year and a Second-Team All-SEC selection by the online publication College Sports Madness for her outstanding performance during the 2014 season. With her selection, Baucom delivered on the promise that also earned her the College Sports Madness Preseason SEC Freshman of the Year award that was announced on Aug. 8 prior to LSU’s season opener for the 2014 season. While making 20 appearances for the Tigers, Baucom ended the 2014 regular season tied for No. 6 with eight goals scored and tied for No. 7 with 20 points scored on the SEC’s overall scoring charts this fall. She was also tied for the No. 9 spot on the SEC’s scoring charts in conference play with four goals scored against league opposition.

ALEX ARLITT TIGERS TIE PROGRAM RECORD WITH 14 ON SEC HONOR ROLL
TIGERS TAME BYU IN 4-3 THRILLER IN PROVO The match between the LSU Tigers and BYU Cougars at Provo’s South Field on Sept. 11 of last season saw an offensive explosion as four different Tigers found the scoresheet with two goals in each half as LSU opened a four-game road swing with perhaps its most impressive performance of the 2014 season with a 4-3 victory over the home side. LSU’s 4-3 victory marked the first time a BYU side conceded three or more goals in a match in more than six years since Sept. 4, 2008, when the Cougars fell 4-1 at William & Mary. All finding the scoresheet for the Tigers were Summer Clarke in the 23rd minute, Megan Lee in the 39th minute, Jorian Baucom on a penalty kick in the 65th minute and Emma Fletcher in the 79th minute.
LSU LEADS NATION IN PLAYERS AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Prior to the start of the 2014 collegiate season, four Tigers stepped onto the international stage at the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada as LSU Soccer led all NCAA women’s programs nationwide in the number of players representing their countries during the competition. All-SEC midfielder Emma Fletcher and Class of 2014 defender recruit Jordane Carvery played for the host nation of Canada, while All-SEC left back Megan Lee and Class of 2014 goalkeeper recruit Lily Alfeld suited up for New Zealand for the tournament. Lee even scored the second goal of the game and was named the “Player of the Match” in New Zealand’s 3-0 win over Costa Rica in group play in route to the quarterfinals. Canada and New Zealand each fell in the quarterfinal round with those four Tigers reporting for the start of LSU’s season in late August.
LSU tied a program record with 14 selections to the 2014 SEC Academic Honor Roll for the fall semester as the league office announced its academic honorees for their effort in the classroom during the 2014 spring, summer and fall semesters. It was the third time in four seasons that 14 Tigers were named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll as they also received such recognition in 2011 and 2013. Headlining LSU’s selections were senior Alex Arlitt and junior Tori Sample, who were each named to the team for the third time in their careers. Earning their second selections were juniors Heather Magee and Fernanda Pina and sophomores Gracie Campbell and Mariel McLaughlin. Juniors Lexi Gibbs, Natalia Gomez-Junco and Catalina Rubiano, sophomores Summer Clarke, Emma Fletcher, Megan Lee and Morgan Ruhl and freshman Madeline Ramsey each picked up their first honor roll selection.
LSU SOCCER RECEIVES NSCAA ACADEMIC AWARD ONCE AGAIN Members of the LSU Soccer program were also honored by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America for their academic performance by earning the NSCAA Team Academic Award while maintaining a strong 3.35 cumulative team GPA for the 2013-14 academic year. The Tigers were among 582 women’s programs nationwide to finish the year with at least a cumulative team GPA of 3.0 or higher in 2013-14. The NSCAA’s selection included 12 of the 14 squads in the SEC as the Tigers joined the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. It marked the third year in a row that the Tigers won the NSCAA Team Academic Award after also maintaining a 3.21 cumulative GPA for 2011-12 and 3.05 GPA for 2012-13.
TIGERS WELCOME TOP RECRUITS IN HERALDED CLASS OF 2015 The Tigers prepared for the start of the 2015 season with a stable squad as they signed only three recruits to National Letters of Intent this past February as part of National Signing Day festivities. Headlining LSU’s Class of 2015 was the consensus No. 1-ranked recruit in the state of Louisiana in Ben Franklin High School product Alex Thomas. The New Orleans native arrived on campus as a two-time Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year in 2014 and 2015 while leading Ben Franklin to threestraight state championships with an unbeaten 63-0-2 record in her final three seasons with the squad. A striker by trade, Thomas scored 57 goals for her team as a senior in 2014-15. The Tigers were also excited to welcome a pair of attacking options from Central and South America in its 2015 recruiting class as Panamanian U-20 Women’s National Team standout Jennifer Olinde and Colombian U-20 Women’s National Team forward Gabriela Maldonado also arrived on campus with a distinguished international pedigree on their side.
TIGERS IMPRESSIVE IN FIVE-MATCH 2015 SPRING SEASON While preparing for the start of the 2015 season, the Tigers turned in an impressive spring campaign in which they posted a 3-1-1 record in five exhibition matches played through the months of February, March and April. Their spring season featured a 1-1 draw on the road at Auburn in the team’s spring season opener and a 2-0 shutout of Ole Miss on a neutral field in Jackson, Mississippi, in their first two matches against a pair of SEC rivals. The Tigers followed with a pair of home wins with a 3-1 victory over in-state rival Southeastern Louisiana and 5-0 shutout of Southern Mississippi before ending the spring campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat to NCAA Champion Florida State in Tallahassee in April.

HISTORY
LSU at the FIFA World Cup
Chapman Makes World Cup History for Tigers Allysha Chapman’s dream of representing her native Canada in a World Cup came true when the former LSU Soccer standout was named to head coach John Herdman’s 23-player squad wearing the Maple Leaf at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in the team announcement in Montreal on April 28. Canada served as the host nation of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer as the event was played over a month across the provinces from June 6-July 5. LSU Tigers have littered the national team rosters of such nations as the United States, Canada, Colombia, England, Mexico and New Zealand while competing in various age group World Cups over the past decade, but Chapman made history as the first LSU Soccer star to feature at the highest level of women’s soccer worldwide at the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Herdman named Chapman among the 23 players making up the Canadian Women’s National Team roster kicking off the tournament against China PR in the opening group stage match for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 6.
CHAPMAN ENJOYS QUICK RISE IN CANADIAN RANKS Chapman burst onto the scene as one of the first names on John Herdman’s team sheet for the Canadian Women’s National Team since making her full international debut with the squad last fall back on Oct. 25, 2014, in a friendly match against 2011 World Cup Champion Japan. “Chappy” has gone on to earn 17 international caps with 15 starts for Canada at the senior level in that time while leading the defense as the team’s starting left back. Her time at the top has been highlighted by scoring her first international goal with the winner in the 51st minute for a 1-0 win over Italy in the semifinal round of the 2015 Cypress Women’s Cup back on March 10. A three-time All-SEC performer and the 2011 SEC Defensive Player of the Year during her collegiate career, Chapman’s professional career has taken off after playing her final season with the Tigers in the fall of 2011. She was recently added to the Houston Dash’s squad in the National Women’s Soccer League as an allocated national team player from her former club team Eskilstuna United DFF in Sweden where she had played previously. Before reigniting her international career at the senior level, Chapman was a two-year member of Canada’s Under-20 Women’s National Team, even appearing at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile during her youth career.
CHAPMAN LEADS DEFENSIVE CANADA TO TOP OF GROUP A Chapman helped anchor a Canadian back line that conceded just one goal to its opponents in three group stage matches as the home nation advanced to the knockout rounds at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 1-1 draw against The Netherlands in their third and final group match held on June 16 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Canada finished atop Group A with five points while also blanking China, 1-0, in the opening match of the tournament on June 6 and playing New Zealand to a 0-0 draw on June 11 to finish on five points. China and The Netherlands followed Canada in a tie for second place in the group with four points apiece as the People’s Republic secured automatic qualification into the Round of 16 with its head-to-head win with a 1-0 victory in the second round of group matches. As the third-place finishers in Group A, the Dutch also advanced to the knockouts with their overall number of points accumulated and goal difference compared to the third-place finishers in other groups. New Zealand was eliminated from the tournament after securing just two points in their three matches with draws against Canada and China in the group stage.

HISTORY
CANADA ADVANCES TO WORLD CUP QUARTERFINALS Thanks to Josée Bélanger’s goal in the 52nd minute and Chapman leading a dogged defensive display from the hosts, Canada advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 shutout of Switzerland in their Round of 16 match at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on June 21. With 53,885 supporters on hand at BC Place Stadium – a record crowd for a Canadian men’s and women’s national team in any sport – Canada earned its place in the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2003 while competing in the knockout rounds for just the second time in six appearances all-time in the tournament. Following a first half in which both teams failed to find a breakthrough, Bélanger scored the goal that proved to be the winner when she swept home Christine Sinclair’s entry from the penalty spot. With Sinclair crossing a clearance by the Swiss defense back into the area, Bélanger curled a left-footed effort beyond the reach of Swiss goalkeeper Gaelle Thalmann and inside the left post to break the deadlock with her first goal for the Canadian senior squad in nearly five years. Bélanger nearly added a second goal late on when she had another shot cleared off the line in the final minutes. Canada advanced to the quarterfinals where they returned to BC Place Stadium on June 27 to go up against England for the right to advance to the semifinal round.
CHAPMAN, CANADA FALL IN WORLD CUP QUARTERFINAL Star striker Christine Sinclair pulled a goal back before halftime when she stabbed home a mishandled save by England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley in the 42nd minute, but that was not enough to send the hosts into the semifinals at this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup when Canada fell to England, 2-1, in their quarterfinal match in Vancouver. A quick-fire double from Jodie Taylor in the 11th minute and Lucy Bronze in the 14th minute was enough to send the Lionesses into the World Cup semifinals for the first time in their history. With Chapman anchoring a Canadian back line surrendering just one goal in four matches going into their match against England, the hosts were confident for a return to the tournament semifinals for the first time since 2003 when Canada earned its best finish of third place. Not even the 54,027 fans in attendance at Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium could inspire their Maple Leafs to a second-half comeback as Canada pressured late but fell short of a place in the semifinal round to face defending champion Japan. England advanced, but fell to Japan before finishing a nation’s-best third place with a 1-0 win over Germany in the Third Place Game. Chapman locked down the left back spot for Canada throughout this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup as she started and played the full 90 minutes in each of the team’s five matches through the quarterfinal round.

3-time All-American 2-time SEC Offensive Player of the Year 3-time First-Team All-SEC Selection 3-time NSCAA/adidas All-Region Selection U-23 U.S. Women’s National Team Player Pool 2010 WPS Draft (13th Overall Pick by Philadelphia Independence) Each year, the Heisman Trophy Trust presents the famed Heisman Trophy to the most outstanding college football player in the country. In the sport of college soccer, athletes from across the country compete each season for the right to raise the Hermann Trophy as the premier soccer player in the NCAA as presented by the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis. Considered the highest honor in intercollegiate soccer, the recipient of the Hermann Trophy is selected each year by Division I head coaches who are certified members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. After releasing the Hermann Trophy Watch List each preseason, the field is then cut to 15 semifinalists in November before three finalists are named prior to the NCAA Women’s College Cup in early December. The LSU Soccer program has been represented on the Hermann Trophy Watch List twice in its history as former Tiger All-American Malorie Rutledge was recognized as one of the top players in the country by the Missouri Athletic Club. While Rutledge never made the cut as one of the award’s 15 semifinalists, she certainly earned a reputation as being one of the elite talents in all of college soccer with a brilliant fouryear career from 2006-09.
