DESCRIPTION

It’s likely that fans at the Student Development Complex this November are going to need a game program to match the names to the numbers on the home white uniforms considering Michigan Tech returns just three upperclassmen to its 2009-10 squad. The expectations are that, by February, the Huskies will have made a name for themselves.

Campus Life and the Keweenaw There are many ways to stay active and get involved at Michigan Tech. On campus, the 600-acre recreational forest and Nordic Training Center are great for skiing, biking and jogging. Nearby, the University’s 18-hole golf course and lighted ski hill challenge students and community members. With more than 180 student organizations, students can find a group to lead, problems to solve, and teams to join. Michigan Tech traditions include K-Day, which is an afternoon to celebrate the Keweenaw Peninsula and enjoy McLain State Park on the shores of Lake Superior, the world’s largest freshwater lake. The Parade of Nations is a celebration (including food) of the nations of the world that have students, faculty and staff members at Michigan Tech. The biggest event is Winter Carnival, when massive snow statues emerge on campus and in the towns. Skits, a queen competition, first-class entertainment, ice hockey and thousands of visitors make this a great experience. Broomball is the biggest winter game on campus, as students slide around on ice rinks hitting a volleyball toward the goal. The entire area is great for outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to rivers, lakes, woods and trails. Also, downtown Houghton and Hancock (combined population 14,000) offer coffee shops, theaters, stores, restaurants and more. Major retailers are just outside of Houghton, a short drive or bus ride from campus. All in all, it’s a great combination: a world-class education in a beautiful location.

The University Michigan Tech enrolls more than 7,100 undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation and around the world. Our faculty explore the boundaries of knowledge while mentoring students to become citizens who will improve our world. The campus, situated along the Keweenaw Waterway, is small enough to walk across in a few minutes, and most classrooms are located close to the residence halls. The campus is completely wireless and features state-of-the-art facilities that are constantly being upgraded. Michigan Tech offers more than 130 degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences. Michigan Tech has national top-10 enrollments in environmental engineering and mechanical engineering and one of the nation’s largest programs in scientific and technical communication. US News & World Report ranks Michigan Tech in the top tier of national universities, and our environmental engineering department ranks 13th. US News rated three of our graduate engineering programs in the top 50 nationally. Tech is also rated highly for academics, career preparation, and quality of life in the Princeton Review’s Best 371 Colleges 2010 Edition. Student comments in the Princeton Review also cited the University for its library, career services, and computer and athletic facilities.

Academics The quality of a Michigan Tech education is best illustrated by the accomplishments of our students. While taking second place in the 2009 Society of Automotive Engineers Supermileage competition, Tech students’ vehicle topped 1,000 mpg. Our Mini-Baja team won the three-part 2009 Baja SAE collegiate design competition. Michigan Tech hosts the Clean Snowmobile Challenge every winter, and this year narrowly finishing out of first place and winning the award for quietest sled. Computer science students finished sixth among US teams in the 2009 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. Business students won the 2008 and 2007 annual RISE national stock investment competition in the value category. Students from many majors work together on real-world industry projects as part of the Enterprise Program—from video games to alternate fuels, from robotics to nanotechnology. In just one example, business and engineering students in the EcoCar enterprise will compete with 16 other universities in Arizona and California. The capstone Senior Design Program allows engineering students to research solutions to problems and present their findings at the end of their academic career. It is, in many ways, their first step toward becoming professionals. Recently, students have also analyzed sleep apnea at Mayo Clinic and have invented a better calendar for the iPhone. In graduate education, our College of Engineering graduates a higher percentage of women with PhDs in engineering than any other engineering school in the nation. We also possess the nation’s largest Master’s International Peace Corps program. Approximately 155 companies sent recruiters to campus last fall, even in a tough job market, and each student averages five job interviews before graduation.

In the 15 seasons since his appointment as the program’s 11th head coach in May of 1994, Luke’s teams have won four Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles, earned

five NCAA Tournament berths and averaged 19 wins per season.

The Huskies set school marks for wins (29), winning percentage (.906), home wins (15) and consecutive wins (15) in 2002-03. They also made GLIAC history by winning 17 regular season league contests and becoming the first league team to host an NCAA Regional. A native of Michigamme, Mich., Luke has been named GLIAC Coach of the Year four times (1994-95, 1997-98, 2001-02, 2002-03). He owns an impressive 260-145 overall record, including a 159-95 mark in conference play. His winning percentage of .642 ranks as the best in Husky hoop annals.

Season Outlook2009-10 Men’s Basketball

It’s likely that fans at the Student Development Complex this November are going to need a game program to match the names to the numbers on the home white uniforms considering Michigan Tech returns just three upperclassmen to its 2009-10 squad . The expectations are that, by February, the Huskies will have made a name for themselves . Michigan Tech comes off a 14-15 record a year ago and gone are the team’s top scorer (Robby Springborn) and top rebounder (Fedrick Bowe) along with both point guards (Sean Geary and Brandon Ball) . That doesn’t leave a lot of veteran leadership . So why the expectations? A very talented nucleus of freshmen who will no doubt turn some heads . “This team has an opportunity, by season’s end, to be very competi-tive,” said head coach Kevin Luke, who begins year 16 at the helm . “The issue we’ll battle early is a lack of game experience, but I really like this team . We have some great athletes with size and strength . There are no excuses to not have a successful season .”

Backcourt/Perimeter The Michigan Tech backcourt will take on a decidedly different look in 2009-10 without Springborn, Geary and Ball, who combined to play in 274 games over the previous four years . Junior Don Fowler and freshmen T .J . Brown and Erik Stephens will take over point guard duties .

Fowler, who has averaged 5 .4 points in 55 career games, is by far the most experienced guard on the roster . The 6-2 junior can play any of the perimeter positions with his ability to handle the ball and attack the basket . He has worked hard to improve his shooting, which will make him even more of an offensive threat . Brown is a true point guard with an extreme amount of athleticism . At 6-2, the Oak Park, Mich . native spent 2008-09 as a redshirt . He adds the ability to rebound and play in the post—elements the program hasn’t had at point guard since Chad Bultynck (1994-98) . Stephens, a 5-10 Cincinnati na-tive and just the third Husky men’s basketball player from Ohio, will give opponents a different look with his gritty, tenacious style of play . Georgio Holt, one of two seniors on the team, will be relied on for leadership . The 6-5 forward enters his sixth year with the program and

looks to be back healthy after battling an offseason injury . Holt finished fourth on the team in scoring a year ago at 7 .4 points per game and showed signs of brilliance with five games at 14 points or more . Four others will split time on the perimeter in sophomore Matt Gaedke, redshirt freshmen Matt Esters and Anthony Katona and junior transfer Tyler Molesworth . All four possess the ability to shoot from long range, get to the rim and rebound . Molesworth is a 23-year-old transfer from Mesa (Ariz .) Community Col-lege, where he attended following a two-year church mission in Brazil . Two others on the roster, freshmen Alex Culy and Nathan Saliga, will likely redshirt in 2009-10 .

Posts Michigan Tech expects to be much improved in the post with three strong returning players and two highly-anticipated newcomers . Senior Chris Baugh returns with 84 games of experience under his belt . The physical, 6-6 forward finished second on the team in rebounds a year ago and was arguably Tech’s top post defender . Sophomore Mike Hojnacki will be a main offensive threat for the Hus-kies after he turned in a solid rookie campaign . The 6-7 forward is the team’s top returning scorer (7 .9 points per game in 2008-09) . He has the ability to shoot the 3-pointer (team-leading 40 .0 percent a year ago) and has worked hard on his post-up game to further become a go-to player on offense . Sophomore Brian Olley made the most of his minutes last year by averaging 3 .4 points and 2 .5 rebounds . The 6-7 forward looks much more confident with a season of experience and has looked sharp in preseason practice . The two newcomers in the post will undoubtedly make an immedi-ate impact . Nate Kindt, who redshirted last year, gives the Huskies the big, physical presence they haven’t had in a while . At 6-foot-8 and 245 pounds, the freshman should be an immediate force as a rebounder and defender . His continually improving offensive skills will make him a threat to score in the post as well . The final piece of the puzzle is true freshman Ali Haidar, who played high school basketball in Windsor, Ontario, after growing up in Lebanon . The 6-7 Haidar will be a tough matchup for opponents with his ability to score from the block all the way out past the 3-point line .

Summing It Up: Coach Luke’s teams always focus on being a top-notch defensive unit, but the offensive fire power should be increased with the influx of new players . Making open outside shots and scoring high-percentage points in the post will be a must for Michigan Tech improve on its team field goal percentage of 40 .6 a year ago . The Huskies will have their work cut out with their 2009-10 sched-ule . The non-conference slate consists of five road games—all of them against NCAA Division II teams including preseason No . 1 Bellarmine and No . 10 St . Cloud State . The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Confer-ence schedule features its share of games vs . nationally-ranked foes as well including two games against defending national champion Findlay . “This is without question our toughest non-conference schedule in my tenure,” said Luke . “Our older players must step up until our rookies can get used to the speed of the game . The early schedule will prepare us for league play, and I believe we’ll be a very good team by season’s end .”

Huskies Pep Band The Michigan Tech Pep Band has drawn raves from writers and commendations from coaches . It has ener-gized crowds, befuddled opponents, and is undoubtedly unequalled by any other ensemble of its kind in Division II basketball . The Huskies Pep Band has become the “Sixth Man” on the court at Michigan Tech home games . Members of the Huskies Pep Band are all students with other educational interests at Michigan Tech, as the University does not offer a music major . The brightly striped bib overall uniforms have become a trademark at Michigan Tech and reflect the school’s heritage as a mining institution . Because of the demand of the students’ schedules and the many appearances the group makes during the year (all football, basketball, and hockey events), there are actually two bands, named Silver and Gold, and each is made up of approximately 90 members . The Huskies Pep Band is led by director Nick Enz .

Russ VanDuine (1975-76, 77-81) was Tech’s first Academic All-American. He was a second team selection in 1979-80 and a first team pick in 1980-81. VanDuine was also the school’s first GLIAC Player of the Year—one of only four Huskies ever to earn the award.

Jason Marcotte (2001-05) owns the Michigan Tech record for career three-point field goals with 335. The three-time All-GLIAC selection helped the Huskies to a 96-24 record (.750 winning percent-age) during his four years wearing black and gold.
