Attention: Media Membersand Opposing Schools

Since the consolidation of the University of Detroit and Mercy College in 1990, UDM athletic teams have found themselves referred to in many different forms.

In order to maintain consistency, we ask that the media continue to refer to us as UDM -- or use Detroit or Detroit Titans -- and eliminate the use of such abbreviations as U-D, U of D Mercy, Detroit Mercy, University of Detroit, etc.

When refering to Detroit women's intercollegiate athletic teams, please do not use the term "Lady Titans". All of our teams should be called the Titans.

Thank you for your cooperation and your continuing coverage of the Detroit Titans.

Head Coach Grant Asher

2011-12 Coaching StaffGrant Asher begins his fifth year with the Titans in 2011-12 and the fourth as the head coach of the men’s tennis team after being hired in November of 2007. Asher was an assistant on the women’s team prior to working with the men.

“I hope to build a winning program,” said Asher. “We have a brand new facility and with the talent that the state of Michigan has, I believe we will have a great opportunity to challenge for the top spot in the Horizon League.”

In his three years as head coach, UDM has reached the Horizon League tournament each year. Under his direction, the Titans have claimed back-to-back HL Player of the Year honors with Pjotrs Necajevs taking the yearly honor in his two seasons in the Motor City. Asher also helped newcomer Cesar Escobar Serrano come in at mid-year to post a 6-1 league mark and earn second team All-League honors. He also saw Detroit get recognition from the Midwest coaches as his No. 1 doubles team of Necajevs and Alex Latosinsky advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2009 ITA Midwest Regionals defeating the 12th-seeded Wisconsin tandem in the process.

In his first year, coach Asher quickly got to work recruiting the first men’s tennis team since 1995, forming a seven-man roster. Working with five true freshmen and two transfer juniors, Asher led Detroit to a 5-13 record in the program’s first varsity campaign in 13 years. During the way, he helped mentor Pjotrs Necajevs to win five Horizon League Player of the Week honors as well as freshman Dustin Goldenberg take the weekly accolade once. Necajevs was ultimately named the conference’s Newcomer and Player of the Year after tallying a 25-4 singles, all at No. 1, including a perfect 7-0 mark in the league.

Asher teaches professionally at Franklin Athletic Club, the current indoor home for Titan tennis. He also spent seven seasons as head coach for Brother Rice High School in Birmingham. Prior to that, Asher had served as Director of Tennis at Court One Athletic Clubs in Okemos.

Asher played Number 1 singles and doubles for four years at Michigan State before graduating in 1992. He was named the team’s MVP for four consecutive years and earned the All-Big Ten Award. Following his collegiate playing days, Asher spent two years on the pro circuit, playing throughout the United States, Mexico and Europe.

“I’m very excited to be back involved in college athletics,” Asher said. “I will be honored to represent the University of Detroit Mercy. I know success comes from hard work and preparation, and I look forward to the battles and challenges that lie ahead.”

Asher currently resides in Huntington Woods with his wife, Katie O’Connor, a senior attorney at Butzel Long in Detroit. The couple has twins, Colin and Payton.

Graduate Assistant Coach

Katie Taylor

2011-12 Coaching StaffKatie Taylor begins her first year as a graduate assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s tennis programs at UDM in 2011-12. Taylor is no stranger to the university after graduating in the spring of 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in both criminal justice and psychology while competing on the women’s track team in sprinting and hurdles events.

Taylor is currently pursuing a master’s degree in intelligence analysis at UDM and recently served as an intern at the GM Global Security Information Center.

She hails from Yale and is one of nine children. At Yale High School, she earned letters for volleyball, track and field and basketball.

Volunteer Assistant Coach

David DeMuth

David DeMuth begins his first season in 2011-12 as a Volunteer Assistant Coach for the Titans men’s tennis program. A lifelong and passionate tennis player, David still competes in USTA tournaments and is looking forward to contributing to the team.

A graduate of Miami University (OH), David is the Co-CEO and president of Doner, an advertising agency based in Detroit. With over 600 employees and additional offices in Cleveland, Newport Beach and London, some of Doner’s clients include Chrysler Group, UPS, Coca Cola, AutoZone, Shell Oil, the PGA Tour, and Wilson Tennis. David is also a member of The Board of Trustees at University School in Cleveland, Ohio, an all boys preparatory school.

David’s oldest son, Alex, is a freshman at Bentley University in Waltham, MA and is a member of the men’s tennis team. His family, including wife, Kristen, and younger children Olivia, Owen, and Henry, reside in Shaker Heights, OH and Birmingham, MI and stay active playing competitive sports like soccer, ice hockey and, of course, tennis.

He is married to Kristen and they have three children, Olivia, Owen and Henry and they stay active playing competitive sports like soccer, ice hockey and, of course, tennis.

2011-12 Detroit Titans

2011-12 Preview

The 2012 dual-match schedule for the men’s tennis team will begin on Jan. 12 at Western Michigan at 3:00 p.m. This year’s roster features seven returners and three newcomers with just one underclassmen. The Titans will have three seniors in David Stabley, Nick Tolomei and newcomer David Streeter. Each of the seniors will share the role of co-captain this season. The Titans return Alex Latosinsky who earned team MVP honors last season and was named to the Horizon League’s second team. He was also recognized as the Horizon League Men’s Tennis Player of the Week on Feb. 1. A core group of juniors of Chris Cheung, Larry Brown, Pablo Nunez, Cesar Escobar Serrano and last year’s midseason transfer Mike Basha, from Western Michigan, who will make his Detroit debut this year, all look to help the Titans return to the playoffs after narrowly missing them in 2011 for the first time in three years. Freshman Jay Joshi (Rochester, MI/Adams) is the lone underclassmen and will also be part of this year’s Titan squad under head coach Grant Asher who is in his fourth year at the helm of the Titan men. “I think in the short history of our program, we’ll be the deepest we have ever been,” said Asher. “You have those first seeds from when the program started who are now seniors so we have some leadership with Stabley

and Tolomei. You have a transfer with Streeter who is a senior so we finally have that leadership at the top that championship teams really need so I feel good with that.” Last year, the Titans opened at Western Michigan falling 7-0 in the match en route to a 6-14 season record in dual matches, including a 1-6 mark in Horizon League play. Four of the team’s wins came in a five-match streak from Jan. 28-Feb. 20 with victories coming over Dayton, IUPUI, IPFW and Chicago State in that stretch. The Titans finished in seventh place in the conference. Cheung was recognized as last year’s Most Improved on the team after taking home Horizon League Men’s Tennis Player of the Week honors on Feb. 22. He earned the award after helping the Titans to three straight team wins after a perfect 6-0 weekend in road wins over IUPUI, IPFW, and Chicago State. He also paired with Serrano to win eight straight doubles matches from Jan. 21 to Mar. 18 that included a 8-7 (8-6) win in the No. 3 position over #49 ranked Michigan State. Nunez led the team with four conference wins and secured the second highest overall win total on the team with 15. “We have a great group of juniors who aren’t young and immature anymore but are now starting to really develop their games. I think we are at the point where we’re pretty deep with eight pretty good players and we’ve struggled with that in the past. We have increased our competition amongst ourselves and it is pushing guys to compete for a spot,” said Asher.Senior David Stabley

2011-12 Preview

New to the team will be upperclassmen transfers Basha and Streeter in addition to Joshi. “Both [Basha and Streeter] have had a lot of success in juniors and in high school tennis. Both know how to win, how to act, and how to lead teams through the tunnel if you will and come out on the other end with victories which is something we struggled with as a young team,” said Asher. Basha came to the Titans midway through last season from Western Michigan and was only able to participate in practice due to NCAA transfer requirements. He spent two years at Western Michigan totaling a 20-11 singles record and a 31-23 mark in overall play. He was a three-star prospect out of high school and the No. 4 ranked senior in Michigan by TennisRecruiting.net out of Port Huron Northern High School in 2008. He finished with a 32-6 record his senior year and was named to the Division 1 All-State first team and was a finalist for the prestigious “Mr. Tennis” award given to a top Number One Senior Singles player in Michigan by the Michigan High School Tennis Coaches Association. Streeter comes from Michigan after earning two varsity letters with that tennis program

after being a five-star recruit coming out of high school. He totaled a 100-4 career singles record and was a two-time team captain and a three-time state champion. In addition, he garnered National High School All-America team honors twice and All-State recognition all four years. Four players enter the dual-match season in the top ten in career singles victories at Detroit. Serrano has 31, Latosinsky is right behind with 30. Cheung has 29 and Tolomei has 26. The leader in that overall category is the Titan’s newly named women’s tennis coach Pjotrs Necajevs (2009-10) with 55 and behind him is Jim Hafner (1989-92) with 44.

2011 saw three Titans finish in the top ten of all-time Titan single-season victories as Serrano had 16, Nunez had 15 and Latosinsky totaled 14. The top two marks are held by Necajevs with 30 in 2010 and 25 in 2009 while the third best total is 17 and was set in 1981 by Matt Schupp with 17.

Doubles career win marks are also within reach as Latosinsky has 30 entering the new season 14 behind the all-time leader, Anthony Grassadonia who had 44 from 1989-91.

In its 33rd season of operation in the 2011-12 academic year, the Horizon League continues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics confer-ences while being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes as leaders and role models.

The Horizon League membership features ten public and private institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based athletic programs. Membership includes Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chi-cago, Valparaiso University, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State Univer-sity and Youngstown State University.

The Horizon League’s primary focus is on addingvalue to the educational experience through its four plat-forms: athletic performance, academic achievement, commu-nity outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience for the student-athlete, to create an affiliation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth. The Horizon League sponsors competition in 19 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis) and ten for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and volleyball).

The League receives automatic bids to NCAA champion-ships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s ten-nis, women’s volleyball, and for the first time in League his-tory, women’s golf. The Horizon League is headquartered in Indianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capital of the World,” with offices in the Pan American Plaza (201 S. Capitol Avenue), located a block from Lucas Oil Stadium and just minutes from Conseco Fieldhouse, the State Capitol Building, Victory Field (home of the Indianapolis Indians) and the NCAA national office.

A PROUD HISTORYFounded on June 16, 1979, as the Midwestern City Confer-ence with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the conference included current mem-bers Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University.

Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 (along with Northern Illinois Uni-versity)

in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history. Youngstown State joined in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007.

On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League unveiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direction that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of being one of the nation’s top ten collegiate athletic conferences with a focus on enhancing the student-athletes’ experience by up-grading the League’s market and competitive positions.

ATHLETIC SUCCESSIn the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by Butler’s second consecutive appearance in the NCAA men’s basketball championship game appearance where the Bulldogs fell to Connecticut, 53-41. The Horizon League has compiled a 19-11 record in the past nine years in the NCAA tournament, ranking seventh among all collegiate confer-ences for winning percentage.

Green Bay’s women’s basketball team became the league’s first team to reach the Sweet 16 in 2011, knocking off Michi-gan State in the second round before going toe-to-toe with No. 1 seed Baylor in the regional semifinals. The Phoenix earned a No. 5 seed in the tournament, going 34-2 on the year and holding a perfect 16-0 mark in Horizon League play.

Men’s soccer has tasted victory in seven out of the last nine years (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-08), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In 2011, Butler was consistently ranked in the top 10 of the nation, earning the No. 13 national seed after becoming the last unbeaten team in the country. In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four straight years earlier in the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; Green Bay 2005) while advancing into the second round in women’s soccer three of the last six seasons (Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06).

Butler’s Victoria Mitchell became the League’s first NCAA individual champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeple-chase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champi-onships.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSHorizon League student-athletes also excel in the classroom as more than 500 have been named to the Academic Honor Roll each of the past nine semesters for carrying a grade-point average of 3.2 or better, including more than 700 for the last four semesters. 24 student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District teams in 2010-11, while six earned Academic All- America honors.

COMMUNITY SERVICEIn addition to its athletics success, the Horizon League has secured a well-earned reputation for its community service initiatives. Each January, member institutions partner with local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest highlighting the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with winners recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day.

The Horizon League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) also has continued a tradition of working with youth in Indianapolis during its annual summer meeting. In addition, SAAC is partnering with Special Olympics, putting on events for olympians in each community. Several League men’s basketball coaches coached barefoot to support Samaritan’s Feet and Coaches vs. Cancer initiatives, and the League’s schools and fans donate to Komen for the Cure for breast cancer awareness during its annual women’s basketball championship.

On campus, student-athletes have raised money and aware-ness for such causes as breast cancer, diabetes and hurri-cane relief, while hosting blood drives, neighborhood clean-ups, Big Brother/ Big Sister programs and more.

SPORTSMANSHIPOne of the Horizon League’s points of emphasis is foster-ing collegial environments for competition among student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans in a pro-active approach. Among the vehicles is the Ethical Conduct Pledge, which is signed each season by student-athletes, coaches, officials, and campus and League administrators. Its pur-pose is to make all the involved groups aware of the Horizon League expectations of behavior during conference events.

DEMOGRAPHICSHorizon League institutions boast a combined enrollment of more than 130,000 plus nearly a quarter-million living alumni centered in the League’s Midwest footprint. League media markets include five of the nation’s top 35 in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Milwaukee, covering more than ten million television households and encompassing more than nine percent of the nation’s television audience.

GOVERNANCEThe Horizon League is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the ten member institutions’ chief executive officers. Dr. Ronald Berkman, President of Cleveland State,

serves as Board Chair through June 30, 2012. John Parry, Director of Athletics at Cleveland State, serves as chair of the Executive Council, and Beth Goetz, Associate Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator at Butler, is the Vice Chair and Shelia Patterson of Cleveland State serves as chair of the Faculty Athletics Representatives.

LEADERSHIPJonathan B. (Jon) LeCrone is in his 20th year as Com-missioner of the Horizon League, having been named to the position on May 11, 1992, and is the fifth-longest tenured commissioner among the 31 Division I conferences. He is the fifth commissioner in League history, succeeding Daniel B. “Tucker” DiEdwardo (1989-92), James W. Shaffer (1984-89), Cecil N. Coleman (1980-84) and James J. McCafferty (1979-80).

LeCrone is in the final year of a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council after completing a five-year term on the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee.

VISIBILITYThe Horizon League has enhanced its media visibility with a number of initiatives. The League is in a three-year agree-ment with ESPN that includes selected regular-season men’s basketball action (ESPN2) and the men’s championship game (ESPN) and features increased exposures each year on ESPNU plus inclusion in the annual O’Reilly ESPNU BracketBusters, one of college basketball’s premier in-sea-son events.

HORIZON LEAGUE NETWORKHaving streamed more than 2,000 free, live events in the last five years, the Horizon League is a recognized leader in video streaming, through the Horizon League Network (HLN). HLN takes viewers inside the conference, featuring student-athlete profiles, weekly highlight shows, comprehensive coverage of all 19 Horizon League championships and other special programming.

In 2010-11, HLN and HorizonLeague.com experienced unprecedented growth as more than 300,000 unique visi-tors across 149 countries/territories watched HLN cover-age. Through the League’s partnership with WebStream Productions, HorizonLeague.com integrated both Horizon-LeagueNetwork.tv and HorizonLeague.org, leading to record visitors to the new site. The 2010-11 season featured the 2,000th live event streamed by the League.

The outdoor home of the Detroit Titans

opened on Sept. 13, 2008 when the

new Titan Tennis Complex, located

immediately south of Calihan Hall, was

unveiled.

Nearly a year after Titan Field was

rennovated, Detroit welcomed a new

varsity tennis complex, featuring eight

hard courts and a viewing pavilion, as

well as an additional athletic field.

The 4,000-square-foot covered pavil-

ion is located at the north end of the

facility. The venue also serves as home

for the University of Detroit Jesuit High

School & Academy boy’s tennis team,

as U of D Jesuit was a major financial

contributor to the overall project.

A formal blessing of the new tennis com-

plex was conducted by UDM President Fr. Gerard Stock-

hausen, S.J. In attendance were members of the women’s

and new men’s tennis teams, their families, UDM staff and

many of the donors who made construction of the new

facility possible. The complex features eight varsity courts

and a 4,000-square-foot viewing pavilion. TMP Architec-

ture (Bloomfield Hills) served as the lead architect for the

project, while The Monahan Company (Eastpointe) served

as general contractor.

The Franklin Athletic Club is considered

one of the premier tennis and fitness

clubs in the country. There are thirteen

air-conditioned indoor courts available

year-round with programs offerred for

the beginning player through the ad-

vanced national level player.

Franklin has received international rec-

ognition not only for its facility, but also

for our world renowned teaching staff,

which includes Titans men’s head coach

Grant Asher who teaches professionally

at the indoor club. Franklin Athletic Club

Points Of PrideBYRNE WINS BIG BREAK

Former Titan David Byrne made Detroit proud as he won the Golf Channel’s reality television show Big Break Indian Wells in July of 2011. The victory gave Byrne a number of prizes, with the best of all a chance to play on the PGA Tour giving him an automatic exemption to the 2012 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Along with the opportunity to play in the 2012 Zurich Classic, he took home over $70,000 in cash, a paid trip for two back to the Indian Wells Golf Resort, an Adams golf endorsement deal and a $10,000 shopping spree to Dicks Sporting Goods.

Byrne outperformed 10 other contestants on the 10-episode series that was shot at Indian Wells Golf Resort in Indian Wells, Calif. When he competes at the Zurich Classic, he will be the first Titan in school history to play on the PGA Tour.

RAY MCCALLUM TO REPRESENT USA BASKETBALL

Sophomore Ray McCallum continued to find himself in the national spotlight. Over the summer, he participated as a counselor in the LeBron James Skills Academy and was one of 10 collegiate point guards invited to the Deron Williams Skills Academy. Then in August, he received an invitation to attend USA

Basketball’s World University Games training camp, where he eventually made the final 12-man roster.

The squad practiced and trained in Colorado Springs, Colo., before embarking to China on Aug. 8 to begin competition. Despite being the youngest athlete on the US squad, and a late addition to the original invitees to the training camp, he impressed coaches enough to make the team and represent the US as the red, white and blue looked for its 14th all-time medal in the competition.

McCallum teamed with players from national powerhouses like Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan State, Notre

Dame and Syracuse. The team was coached by Matt Painter of Purdue, while Cuonzo Martin of Tennessee and Butler’s Brad Stevens served as assistants.

APR REPORT HAS TITANS RATED HIGH

The NCAA honored more than 900 Division I sports teams for their high marks academically last spring, including a pair of University of Detroit Mercy teams that achieved perfect scores. The Titan men’s golfers and men’s fencing teams each earned perfect 1000’s in the latest edition of the NCAA’s Public Recognition Awards, released in May.

The NCAA announcement showed that 909 teams have earned the awards, based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates. These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs. Through its innovative APR, which provides an annual scorecard of academic achievement, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I sports team.

A week later, Detroit brought home high marks in the NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate as 16 Titan teams were at or above the NCAA’s minimum standard (925) for the entire seven years since the association instituted the APR system (men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s tennis are all entering their Ray McCallum was part of the final 12-man roster for USA Basketball’s

Former Titan David Byrne won an automatic exemption to the PGA’s 2012 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Points Of Pridethird year of varsity status at the school). The Detroit men’s fencing and men’s golf team each scored perfect multi-year 1000 APR scores, while women’s basketball, women’s golf and women’s tennis were all cited with perfect 1000 scores in the 2009-10 academic year. Nine UDM teams were above the national averages among their peers within their sport. The new report was based on data supplied for the 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years.

Each year the NCAA honors select Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multi-year APR. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams who demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multi-year APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport.

DETROIT TITAN ATHLETICS TO NAME COURT IN HONOR OF DICK VITALE

Dick Vitale, ESPN broadcaster, college basketball ambassador and former Titan head coach and athletic director, received a tremendous honor from Detroit as the Titans announced that they will rename its basketball court in Calihan Hall after the legendary college basketball figure.

The Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall will be dedicated in conjunction with a nationally-televised men’s basketball game against Big EAST foe St. John’s on December 5, 2011 on ESPN2. Vitale will be celebrating his 32nd anniversary of calling games for ESPN at the event having started on the sports television outlet on Dec. 5, 1979.

Vitale coached at the University of Detroit (1973-77), compiling a winning percentage of .722 (78-30), which included a 21-game winning streak during the 1976-77 season when the team participated in the NCAA Tournament. Included in the streak was a victory in Milwaukee over Al McGuire’s eventual national champion Marquette team. In April 1977, Vitale was named Athletic Director at Detroit and later that year was named the United Fund’s Detroit

Man of the Year.

The Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall project will feature a brand new, state-of-the-art hardwood floor for the home of the Detroit Titans men’s and women’s basketball teams. Fundraising for the project will include several other key improvements to the facility, including men’s basketball “Phase II” renovations, which began with new offices and upgraded locker room accommodations.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A PRIORITY FOR DETROIT

The University of Detroit Mercy Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) did a great job as always in trying to help out the local community. Throughout the school year, SAAC got together for a number of community initiatives, including the highly successful Sandwich Bus. The event gives Titan student-athletes a chance to come together in preparing a lunch and distributing it to the local community.

SAAC also helped raise money for the Michigan Special Olympics with a Pie In The Face Fundraiser during a men’s lacrosse game as well as hosting a coat drive during a men’s basketball game for Nardly Human Services, Inc.

Other student-athletes were involved outside of the field and classroom too as men’s lacrosse players Brandon Davenport, Matt Lining and Adam Parrottino participated in a Habitat for Humanity project near Grosse Pointe, while men’s basketball standouts Eli Holman and Ray McCallum greeted attendees and showed support of the United Way and downtown Detroit at the annual Blocktoberfest. UDM also partnered with the Southeastern Michigan “Toys for Tots” during Thanksgiving Weekend where the Titans played host to the Legend’s Classic.

STUDENT-ATHLETES RECEIVE ACADEMIC ACCOLADES.

Another year went by with a number of academic honor rolls and awards that University of Detroit Mercy student-athletes received. For the 2010-11 season, 138 student-athletes had cumulative GPA’s over a 3.0, while 16 of the Titans’ 19 varsity teams were also over a 3.0 GPA.

It started with 210 Titans being named to the Athletic Director’s honor roll. The Titans then saw 58 members named to the Horizon League’s fall academic honor roll, while 54 appeared on the HL’s spring honor roll. In addition, 10 men’s lacrosse players were placed on the MAAC’s honor roll.

As a team, both the Titan men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams earned All-Academic Team honors from the USTFCCCA, while the UDM men’s and women’s tennis squads were tabbed ITA All-Academic Teams. The men’s golf program was also recognized as an All-Academic Team by the GCAA.

Eight Titans (Taylor Hennrick, Vushaun Landrum, Susan Kalkstein, Katrina Oberski, Jeff Clarridge, Britt Pronk, Alainna Stefan, Erin Weldon) were selected to the Horizon League’s Spring All-Academic Team. Three Detroit student-athletes (Patrick Liederbach, Kirstin Mooney and Landrum) were tabbed All-HL Academic for the winter, while Lauren Roffey was named to the League’s All-Academic team in the fall.

In lacrosse, four members of the women’s program earned their way onto the National Lacrosse Conference’s Academic All-League Team in Britany Busch, Anna Eidem, Corina Mahorn and Alycsa Valentine. In men’s lacrosse, 10 players were tabbed Academic All-MAAC in Brandon Davenport, John Dwyer, Brad Janer, Ty Maruyama, Jason McDonald, Chris Nemes, John Nowicki, Adam Parrottino, Nick Schesnuk and Wes Steen.

Also individually, Jeff Clarridge of the men’s golf team was named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar, while Marni Achterhoff, Alainna Stefan and Lindsey Lammers were honored as the National Golf Coaches Association’s Women’s All-American Scholar Team.
