Lee Named CAA Offensive Player of the Week: Redshirt-junior quarterback Vad Lee has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced today . This is his first CAA weekly recognition this year and the sixth by a JMU player this season .

Lee recorded more than 400 yards of total offense and produced six touchdowns to lead JMU to a 48-40 victory over host Charlotte on Saturday afternoon at Jerry Richardson Stadium . Lee threw for a game-high 333 yards on 32-of-47 passing and ran the ball for 71 yards on 12 carries for 408 total yards . He tossed four touchdowns and rushed for two more, both career highs . It was the second time this season Lee threw for more than 300 yards and the fifth time he rushed 70 yards or more in a game .


TODAY’S GAME INFOMoving the Ball Quickly For Points: The Dukes like to get a rhythm going offensively, and, when they do, the drives are quick and to the point . Of the 40 JMU scoring drives in the first eight games, 22 of them have been less than two minutes in length, yet 32 of them have been 50 yards or more . The longest drive in terms of time and plays this season was a 19-play, 75-yard march over 7:29 against Delaware, Sept . 27 . Included in the nine beyond three minutes are the three longest drives of the year (one 98 and two drives of 99 yards), with all three ending in touchdowns .

Moreland Named to Jerry Rice Award Watch List: Freshman cornerback Jimmy Moreland has been named to the initial Jerry Rice Award Watch List for the 2014 season, The Sports Network announced Wednesday . The top first-year player in the FCS, whether a true freshman or a redshirt freshman, will win the award named for legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice .

Replay Experiment In the CAA This Year: The Colonial Athletic Association is conducting experiments with officials replay during the 2014 season across the league . The CAA is conducting one replay game per school site this season, with JMU having had its game already in the home contest against Delaware, Sept . 27 .

Lee Earned National, League Defensive Award: Senior defensive lineman Brandon Lee was named The Sports Network National Defensive Player of the Week, the publication announced Oct . 20 . Lee was earlier named the Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Week and College Sports Madness National Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts .

In the Dukes’ 62-7 win over Towson Oct . 11, Lee made his presence felt on the defensive side of the ball, recording five total tackles, with 3 .0 tackles for 19 yards of loss, including 2 .0 sacks for 16 yards, and three forced fumbles resulting in two JMU turnovers . The second forced fumble directly resulted in points, as it was caught in the air by linebacker Rhakeem Stallings and returned 27 yards for a touchdown to put JMU up 20-0 .

Coming Up: As part of the 2014 JMU Football season presented by CarMax, Madison will play a pair of games on the road at Stony Brook (Nov . 8) and Richmond (Nov . 15) before returning home for Champions Weekend and the final home game against Elon, Nov . 22 .

Everett Withers is in his first season as the head football coach at James Madison University. “We are so thrilled to welcome Coach Withers and his family to James Madison,” Jeff Bourne

Director of Athletics said. “Everett is a proven winner and has shown his ability to lead, having spent time as a head coach. The entire committee was incredibly impressed when we met with him, and I have no doubt that he will be a great leader for our football program and mentor to our student-athletes for many years to come.”“Coach Withers impressed us greatly not only with his experience on the field, but also with

his strong commitment to the student-athlete,” JMU President Jonathan Alger said. “Coach With-ers is dedicated to JMU’s educational mission and believes that his team’s success begins in the classroom. He and his wife Kara have also emphasized the importance of being active partici-pants in the community. I am confident that Coach Withers, his wife Kara, and their two chil-dren Tia and Pierce will be valuable additions to the JMU family and the community at large.”A 26-year coaching veteran, Withers comes to the Shenandoah Valley from Ohio State Univer-

sity, where he served as assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach for the past two years. During his time with the Buckeyes, he has been a part of a school-record 24-game win streak and a 24-1 mark heading into the upcoming Discover Orange Bowl against No. 12 Clemson. In 2012, OSU compiled a perfect 12-0 record and finished No. 3 in the national rankings. The undefeated 2012 slate was only the sixth unbeaten/untied season in school history, as Ohio State ranked second in the Big Ten with 14 interceptions and all four starting defensive backs earned All-Big Ten Conference recognition.During his career, Withers has split time between the collegiate and professional coaching

ranks, having worked in the NCAA Division I level for 19 years and in the National Football League for seven seasons. Withers’ collegiate coaching resume includes 11 years as a defensive coordinator with a vast majority of his time - 17 seasons - spent also coaching the defensive backfield.Prior to accepting his position with

Ohio State in December 2012, With-ers spent four years at the University of North Carolina. He was promoted to interim head coach at the school in July 2011 and he led the Tar Heels to a 7-6 overall record and to a berth in the Independence Bowl against Missouri. His Tar Heel defenses were top notch. His first unit - 2008 - ranked eighth in the country with 20 interceptions, a number that was just one off the UNC single-season record. His 2009 defense was among the nation’s elite, ranking sixth in total defense, 10th against the run, 13th in scoring and 14th in pass defense. His 2010 unit ranked fourth in the Atlan-tic Coast Conference and 30th nationally. Five play-ers off that unit were taken

The Dukes are coming off one of the most success-ful seasons in program his-tory in 2013-14, having tied the school record with 29 wins and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament . JMU knocked off sixth-seeded Gonzaga (72-63) in the first round, which was the first tourna-ment win for Madison since 1991 . The Dukes finished the year winning 19 of their final 21 games and receiving votes in both major polls, includ-ing enough in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll to rank them 27th in the nation .

Head Coach Kenny Brooks, the 2014 CAA Coach of the Year, re-turns to the helm for his 13th season needing 19 wins for 300 in his career and 22 wins for 303, which would make him the all-time win-ningest coach in JMU women’s basketball history, surpassing Shelia Moorman (302) . Over the last nine seasons, he has led the Dukes to at least 24 wins with three CAA Tournament titles .

In 2014-15, JMU faces three teams that advanced to the 2014 NCAA Tournament, starting with Final Four contender Maryland . The Dukes face the Terrapins Nov . 28 on a neutral court at the San Juan Shootout . JMU hosts Hampton on Dec . 20, a 12 seed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, and travels to Vanderbilt on Dec . 29, an eight seed last year .

The reigning Colonial Athletic Association regular season and tour-nament champions were picked to repeat in 2014-15 according to a vote by the league’s head coaches . The Dukes return three starters from last year’s championship squad in 2014 Preseason Player of the Year and preseason All-CAA First Team junior guard Precious Hall, preseason All-CAA First Team senior forward Toia Giggetts, and preseason All-CAA Second Team redshirt-junior guard Jazmon Gwathmey .

Hall is the top returning scorer from 2013-14, averaging 13 .5 points per game alongside 3 .8 rebounds and 1 .4 steals per outing . She garnered All-CAA Second Team honors a year after she was the unani-mous selection for CAA Rookie of the Year (2012-13) . She is 179 points away from 1,000 points scored in her JMU career .

Giggetts was also an All-CAA Second Team honoree a year ago, as she averaged 13 .2 points and 5 .8 rebounds per game . She starts the season with an active streak of 26 consecutive double-figure scoring performances and needs 121 points to join the 1,000-point club at JMU .

Gwathmey was named to the 2014 CAA All-Defensive Team be-fore posting a career game in the CAA Championship title win, scoring a career-high 20 points and 14 rebounds on her way to earning the CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player award . She averaged 10 .0 points and 5 .3 rebounds per game in addition to 1 .6 blocks per outing . Through her first two seasons, she has already blocked 90 opponents’ shots, the 10th most in JMU history .

Also returning to the squad are redshirt-senior center Lauren Oka-for, junior guard Angela Mickens, junior forward Destiny Jones and sophomore forward Da’Lishia Griffin .

Okafor is tied for seventh on the JMU career blocked shots list (99) with current assistant coach Jennifer Brown (JMU ’09) . Her next rejec-tion gives her sole possession of seventh all-time as well as marks her 100th blocked shot of her career .

Mickens returns the second-most minutes from last season, averag-ing 26 .5 minutes per game . She dished out 139 assists as a sophomore, the 15th most in a single JMU season, and posted an average of 4 .0 as-sists per game alongside 1 .1 steals per game .

Jones is back for her junior campaign after appearing in 12 games in 2013-14 . Last season, she tallied a 12-point performance against Al-corn State on Nov . 24, followed by an eight-point performance against UCLA in the Gulf Coast Showcase .

Griffin notched two 10-point showings as a freshman, including a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) at William and Mary on Feb . 4 . She snagged at least five rebounds five times as a freshman out of 26 games played, averaging 3 .0 rebounds per outing, and added 2 .5 points per game over an average 8 .3 minutes played .

The Dukes welcome five new faces to the roster this season, with four who will be eligible to play in 2014-15 . Freshmen guards Candice Williams and Hail-ee Barron and freshman for-ward Carley Brew join the line-up for the season open-er against UCLA (Nov . 14, 1 p .m .) while junior guard Ashley Perez will wait until after the Fall 2014 semes-ter due to transfer rules (St . John’s) . Redshirt-freshman forward Tasia Butler comes to JMU from Syracuse and will redshirt the 2014-15 season due to transfer rules, becoming eligible to hit the Convo floor in 2015-16 .

Brew and Butler are former McDonald’s All-American nominees while Williams was rated a three-star guard ESPN Hoopgurlz . In high school, Williams and Barron were both First Team All-State guards in Georgia and Vermont, respectively . Perez averaged 6 .6 points per game for the Red Storm before transferring and average 20 .5 points per game over the course of her high school career .

The Dukes have 14 regular-season home games in 2014-15, be-ginning with UCLA on Friday, Nov . 14, at 1 p .m . Fans can get a first-glimpse at this year’s JMU squad on Sunday, Nov . 9 when the Dukes host Lenoir-Rhyne for an exhibition game at 2 p .m . at the JMU Convo-cation Center .

COACHING STAFF


MEN’S HOOPS PICKED 5THThe James Madison men’s

basketball team was predicted to finish fifth in the 2014-15 Colo-nial Athletic Association stand-ings, according to a vote by the league’s head coaches, athletics communications directors and members of the media . Results of the poll were announced at CAA Basketball Media Day on Tuesday, Oct . 21 at the Center Club in Downtown Baltimore .

In addition to the preseason poll, the league announced its extensive regional television schedule across the Comcast

family of networks and the American Sports Network . JMU was se-lected to play in seven TV matchups, including four at home inside the Convocation Center .

The Dukes return two starters and eight letter winners from last year’s squad that finished tied for sixth in the CAA . The returners ac-counted for 52 .2 percent of the team’s scoring and 54 .4 percent of the team’s rebounding a year ago .

Despite being without a single senior on this year’s roster, Madi-son will rely on the veteran leadership of junior guards Ron Curry and Andre Nation . Both players were recognized at Media Day as Nation was named to the Preseason All-CAA First Team while Curry was hon-ored as an honorable mention selection .

Last season, Nation, an All-CAA Third Team honoree, led the team with 15 .4 points and 5 .3 rebounds per game while contributing 1 .6 assists per outing in his 14 games played . Curry ranked 12th in the CAA and third on the team with 12 .1 points per game . He was also one of the top passers and defenders, ranking second on the team in assist-to-turnover ratio (1 .9), fourth in steals (1 .1 spg) and fifth in assists (3 .4 apg) .

Joining the backcourt this season is another experienced guard in junior Winston Grays, who was a junior college First Team All-American last season at Cincinnati State . He averaged 20 .2 points, 4 .2 rebounds, 3 .2 assists and 2 .0 steals per outing on his way to being named Ohio Community College Athletic Conference Player of the Year .

Key returners for JMU also include sophomore guard Jackson Kent and sophomore forwards Tom Vodanovich and Yohanny Dalembert . As rookies, the trio averaged 12 .3 points and 9 .1 rebounds per game, collectively .

Northeastern, which returns four starters from a year ago, was selected to win the CAA title . William and Mary was picked to finish second, followed by Hofstra in third and Drexel in fourth . Behind fifth-place JMU was College of Charleston (sixth), Towson (seventh), reigning CAA champion Delaware (eighth), UNCW (ninth) and league newcomer Elon (10th) .

Headlining the 2014-15 Preseason All-CAA teams was William and Mary’s senior guard Marcus Thornton, who was named Preseason Player of the Year . Joining Thornton and Nation on the First Team were Northeastern’s Scott Eatherton, Hofstra’s Juan’ya Green and Drexel’s Damion Lee .

After playing just 10 games at home last season, the Dukes will host 19 regular-season home contests at the JMU Convocation Center, setting a new single-season high, so fans will have plenty of chances to watch Madison this season .

The 2014-15 campaign tips off on Friday, Nov . 14 when JMU hosts defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion Virginia at the Convo . This is likely to be one of the most highly anticipated home games for JMU in nearly 23 years, when it hosted defending national champion UNLV on Dec . 5, 1991 .

“It’s certainly an exciting game for our fans; I think we’re going to learn a lot about our team and our personnel but it’s a tremendous challenge,” Brady said . “It starts with defense . Virginia is really eager and willing to go deep into shot clocks, offensively, and defensively, UVa gives you very little, if anything, easy at the rim, in transition or second shots . They were the number one defensive team in the country last year for a very good reason – they led in points per posses-sion defense .”

Virginia will be one of three foes JMU plays this sea-son that competed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, joining Ohio State and CAA champion Delaware, as well as six others which played in postseason tournaments .

JMU’s opener against the Cavaliers begins a string of five home games as it does not have to travel until Thanksgiving when it takes on Ohio State on Friday, Nov . 28 . The Dukes only have three road games during non-conference play as they host 10 games at the Convocation Center prior to the start of CAA play .

JMU’s televised home games include Elon (Jan . 17 – 8 p .m .), William and Mary (Jan . 31 – 4 p .m .), College of Charleston (Feb . 21 – 7 p .m .) and Hofstra (Feb . 28 – 4 p .m .) . On the road, the Dukes face Drexel (Jan . 15 – 7 p .m .), Towson (Feb . 7 – 2 p .m .) and Delaware (Feb . 10 – 8 p .m .) on TV .

During the non-conference portion of the schedule, Madison has two road games televised nationally . The first road outing of the year at Ohio State on Nov . 28 can be seen on the Big Ten Network while its second road game of the season, at East Carolina on Dec . 13, will be on ESPN3 .

Jeff bOurNeJeff Bourne is in his second decade as JMU’s athlet-

ics director, having already overseen a period of dra-matic enhancements on behalf of all of the university’s student-athletes and coaches. At JMU, Bourne leads a program that is competitive within the Colonial Athletic Association as well as at regional and national levels and that has positioned itself to continue to play a major role in intercollegiate athletics.

Bourne has overseen processes to ensure the academic, athletic and social success of all JMU student-athletes. In the most recent release, JMU saw its Graduation Success Rate remain above 82 percent for the ninth straight year, with a 100 percent degree completion rate. When Bourne arrived at JMU, the graduation rate among student-athletes was 71 percent and the overall student rate 79 percent. Annual fundraising has improved dramatically under Bourne’s leadership, with an overall increase of more than 400 percent during the past eight years. Student-athlete support services and facility improvements also have been highlights of the past 10 years.

JMU enjoys a tremendous academic reputation nationally as evidenced by its continued placement among national and regional publications. For the 16th consecutive year the university ranked as the top public, master’s-level university in the South in the highly regarded annual poll on academic quality conducted by U.S. News & World Report for its guide-book, 2010 America’s Best Colleges.

During Bourne’s tenure more than 1,600 confer-ence academic honors have been given to JMU student-athletes, including CAA scholar-athletes, CAA commissioner’s academic award winners and ECAC scholar-athletes of the year. JMU also has had four student-athletes receive NCAA post-graduate scholar-ships. Over the last three years, more than 2,500 academic awards, including Dean’s List, President’s List and the CAA Commissioners Awards, have been presented to JMU student-athletes.

Perhaps the best measure of success is the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. JMU has ranked well above the NCAA minimum standard for each of the pro-gram’s rating periods, and no JMU teams have been subject to APR-related penalties.

Providing outstanding athletics facilities is a primary focus, and JMU will continue to make significant prog-ress in this front during the coming year. In 2009-10, the new Veterans Memorial Stadium complex for base-ball and softball was completed; work was recently completed in summer of 2011 on the first phase of the new University Park, including practice and competi-tion facilities for soccer, lacrosse, track and field and cross country with field hockey to follow in the near future; and the $62 Million, 20-month process to reno-vate Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field finished prior to the 2011 season.

The football stadium expansion project increased seating at the facility to nearly 25,000 and featured major enhancements, including private suites and club level seating, improved concessions and restroom facilities, improved lighting, and a new media facility.

Under Bourne, JMU has developed an enhanced volunteer fundraising network and a point-priority system to recognize donor participation and has implemented programs to increase game attendance and address the needs of athletics infrastructure. These efforts have resulted in unprecedented levels of suc-cess in fundraising while driving football attendance to all-time records.

Major program enhancements in student-athlete

services and academic advis-ing, sports medicine and strength and conditioning have added to the overall quality of the student-athlete experience as demon-strated in annual senior exit interviews and peer program evaluations. Annual evaluation and information data also is incorporated into a strategic planning and reporting process to enhance the organizational structure of the athletics division with the primary focus on meeting the needs of student-athletes and coaches.

“We’re very proud of the accomplishments we’ve had and I am quite fortunate to work with and serve a tremendous group of coaches and a talented sup-port team. We will continue to work together toward the common goals of ensuring the success of our student-athletes in all of their endeavors -- academi-cally, athletically and socially,” Bourne said. “Our goals are to win conference championships and to advance our teams to post-season play while adhering to NCAA and conference guidelines and to graduate our student-athletes.

“We continue to strengthen the infrastructure and facilities of the athletics program,” Bourne continued. “Our support centers and athletics personnel are dedi-cated to providing student-athletes with the best expe-rience possible at the intercollegiate level. We also are extremely pleased with the construction of the Robert and Frances Plecker Athletic Performance Center, which benefits all of our student-athletes with state-of-the-art academic facilities and serves as an entrance and focal point for our football stadium. Other athlet-ics facilities construction that is being planned and implemented on campus -- immediately new baseball and softball stadiums and enhancement of our football facility and later upgrades for other programs -- will provide JMU with outstanding competition sites.”

The Plecker Performance Center, which opened in 2005, was the first significant facility project funded primarily through private resources in JMU athletics’ history. The $10 mil-lion facility is adjacent to Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field and features support areas for football and areas for entertaining during home football games and for JMU’s athletic hall of fame. Also included is the Challace McMillin Academic Center that benefits performers in all JMU sports programs. Advising and counseling for all of JMU student-athletes take place at the facility, which also includes an outstanding computer lab and strength training and sports medi-cine facilities.

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, the home of JMU’s football program, has a large electronic videoboard with live game action and video replay capabilities, an

outstanding FieldTurf playing surface and an enhanced sound system added in recent years.

Prior to arriving at JMU in 1999, Bourne served in several athletics roles at Virginia Tech from 1986-97 and was senior associ-ate athletics director at Georgia Tech from 1997-99. At Georgia Tech, he supervised finance, marketing and promotions, ticket-ing, sports information, and radio and television broadcasts and production. He also was liaison to the Alexander-Tharpe fund, the university’s development arm, and administered baseball and golf.

At Virginia Tech, he was associate athlet-ics director during his final two years, and he co-chaired a committee that reviewed

gender equity at the school. The committee developed and implemented a plan that brought the school into compliance with federal guidelines and ranked it fifth nationally in compliance.

A Salem, Va., native, Bourne was Virginia Tech’s athletics business manager and then associate athletics director for administration and finance.

Bourne received his Bridgewater College degree in business administration and accounting in 1981 and completed his master’s degree in education and sports management at Virginia Tech in 1994. He worked for four years in public accounting and received his certification in public accountancy before moving to Virginia Tech, where he first was an internal auditor and a consultant to the athletic business office. He is a 1994 graduate of the Sports Management Institute Executive Program from the University of North Carolina and the University of Southern California.

The Bourne family bleeds purple and gold. Bourne’s wife, the former Mary Lou Garber, is a Harrisonburg native,Bridgewater graduate, and received a master’s degree at JMU in integrated science and technology in 2004. She serves as the Director of Technology Innovation at James Madison. They have two sons: Jason, a 2011 JMU graduate is employed at JMU as a Special Gifts Fundraising Officer, while his fiancee Megan Martin, also a 2011 JMU graduate, is the Social Media and Marketing Coordinator for JMU Office of Residence Life. Kyle graduated from JMU in 2014 and works for Goldman Sachs in New York City.

James Madison University football in 2004 made history at the team and national levels.

The 13-2 Dukes won the NCAA Division I-AA title with a playoff effort that became increasingly impressive as the postseason pro-gressed. JMU took the national crown without hosting a playoff game, becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three playoff road contests in a season.

JMU won with depth and balance, consistent play that included Division I-AA’s second-ranked run defense (86.8 yards per game), good special teams play, and an offense that developed a power-ful running attack and avoided mistakes. The Dukes won seven games by 10 or fewer points and were particularly effective late in contests.

JMU won 17-0 at Villanova after a scoreless first 36 minutes and beat Massachusetts 28-7 after a scoreless first 40 minutes. The Dukes won 24-20 at Maine with a touch-down with 0:48 left and beat Delaware 20-13 with an 87-yard punt return for a score with 3:04 left and by stopping the Hens after they had a first-down-and-goal situation from the three during the next drive.

After tying for the Atlantic 10 title (7-1 record), JMU was disappointed not to get a home playoff game. However, the Dukes responded with a 14-13 first-round win at Lehigh and then won by the same score at Furman, driving 74 yards during the final 5:11 for the decisive touchdown.

JMU avenged its lone Division I-AA loss of the year by winning 48-34 at William & Mary in a nation-ally televised (ESPN) Friday night game and beat Montana 31-21 for the NCAA title the following Friday in Chattanooga, Tenn., before another national television audience.

The Dukes took a 21-0 lead at William & Mary, fell behind 26-21 early in the second half, and then dominated play with 28 straight points in an 18-minute period.

JMU was equally effective during the last three quarters against Montana, running for 314 yards over-all and holding the ball for 36:13 of the game’s 60 minutes.

JMU’s play helped Mickey Matthews gain Division I-AA coach of the year honors from the American Football Coaches Association, and several Dukes received major awards.

Offensive guard Matt Magerko and free safety Tony LeZotte led the award recipients. Magerko was first-team All-America by Associated Press, and LeZotte was first-team by I-AA.org, second team by Associated Press and Football Weekly and third-team by The Sports Network. Linebacker Kwynn Walton was third-team All-America by The Sports Network, and safety Rodney McCarter was a Football Foundation All-America. LeZotte was the Atlantic 10 co-rookie of the year.

Tailback Raymond Hines was team MVP after running for 1,038 yards. He became a starter at mid-season when Alvin Banks and Maurice Fenner were hurt and became only the fourth Duke to run for 1,000 yards during a season. Fenner (117 yards at William & Mary, 164 vs. Montana) and Banks (88 yards vs. Montana) stepped back into the spotlight for the final two playoff games after Hines was hurt at William & Mary.

Quarterback Justin Rascati threw for 2,045 yards and 14 touch-downs, ran for 10 scores, and was intercepted only five times in 283 passes.

Team defensive MVP Trey Townsend and Walton as linebackers, LeZotte, and McCarter led the defense. LeZotte set a team freshman record with 144 tackles, Townsend had 102 tackles and five inter-ceptions, McCarter had 92 stops, and Walton had 88 tackles.

Cornerback Clint Kent, who had 73 tackles for the season, returned an interception 69 yards for a score at Wiliam & Mary and sealed JMU’s title-game win over Montana with an interception.

“And now, presenting ‘Virginia’s Finest,’ The James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes!”

This familiar announcement begins each exciting halftime as one of America’s premier college marching bands takes the field. From humble beginnings in 1972, the Marching Royal Dukes have quickly become recognized as one of the top college march-ing band programs in the country. With a membership made up primarily of non-music majors, the band is one of the largest and most visible student organizations on campus. As a class, the MRDs rehearse five days a week, perform at all home football games, travel to away game to support the Dukes, and also play an active role in community events and perform extensively around Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region as an exhibition band for band contests and other events.

During their short history, the band has established an impressive resume of performances and awards. The MRDs have performed at NFL games in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington. In 1983, they were the featured halftime show for the NFC title game between Washington and Dallas. Additionally they have performed for Walt Disney Productions, and have made several appearances as the premier band for the Richmond Christmas Parade. In 1988

and 1991, they were the featured exhibition at the Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1994 the John Philip Sousa Foundation named the Marching Royal Dukes the recipients of the Sudler Trophy, a prestigious award known as “the Heisman Trophy of college marching bands.” In 1997 and 2001, the MRDs were featured in the inaugural parades for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Additionally in 2002, 2006, and 2010 respectively they have performed at the inauguration ceremonies for Virginia Governors Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, and Bob McDonnell. Over the past forty-two years the band has established a strong tradition

as ambassadors of the university and community. The Marching Royal Dukes have taken five trips abroad: their first European tour in 1997, where they performed for the closing ceremonies of the 700th anniver-sary of the Grimaldi Family in Monaco. In December 2000, the MRDs performed at a New Year’s celebration in Athens before an audience of more than 500,000. In December of 2003 and 2006, the band was the feature band for the New Year’s celebration in Dublin, Ireland. The MRDs took their fifth tour abroad in 2010, with a trip to London and Paris where they performed in the 25th Anniversary London New Year’s Day Parade. In 2014 they will tour Italy and perform at the Vatican for the Rome New Year’s Day Parade and Festival. The MRDs have made three appearances in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day

Parade in 2001, 2008, and 2013. Scott Rikkers is the Director of the Marching Royal Dukes. Chad Reep is

an Assistant Director of the Marching Royal Dukes and Director of the JMU Pep Band. J.R. Snow is an Assistant Director of the Marching Royal Dukes and the Visual Coordinator. Steve Cash is the Drumline Instructor and Percussion Coordinator, Michael Overman is the Front Ensemble Instructor, and Hunter Desper is the Percussion Assistant. Carly Philp, Erin Fairchild, and Laura Milford are the Colorguard Instructors. Julia Urban is the coach of the JMU Dance Team, the “Dukettes”. The JMU band program is also staffed by Connie Driscoll, Administrative Assistant, Drew Ross, Graduate Assistant, and Elizabeth Keene, Band Assistant.

The 2014 Marching Royal Dukes Drum Majors are Lindsey Martin, Ciara Middleton, John Nye, Nick Pope, and Nathan Saxman.

WLAX LOOKS TO 2015 SEASONLooking to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time

since the 2011 season, the James Madison women’s lacrosse team concluded its fall slate last week and finished fall practice on Thursday after playing in three playday events and traveling to Virginia for an exhibition against the Cavaliers .

“We got a lot of good feedback from the fall season that we can use positively moving through the winter getting ready to start our season in February,” head coach Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe said . “We know we’re going to be strong in the crease attacking, but we learned a lot about our program outside of the things we anticipated we would have to focus on and we are confident all of the feedback will help us grow as a team throughout the next few months .”

The Dukes opened the fall with a little bit of fun by holding the Alumni Game on Sept . 13 prior to JMU foot-ball’s home-opener against St . Francis . Throughout the day, the team hosted the game in which players throughout the years returned to Harrisonburg for a friendly matchup against each other before moving the scene to Hansen Field for a tailgate prior to JMU’s 38-22 win against St . Francis .

“It was really nice to see a lot of alumni back and we

had a good showing . Enough to field a team to play the girls,” Klaes-Bawcombe said . “Alex Menghetti, who graduated in 2012, played a great game in the cage for us and we really gave the girls a game . It was a lot of fun to have so many people back .”

In the three playdays, JMU traveled to Navy in Annapolis, Maryland, and traveled to Georgetown in Washington D .C . to take on various team participating in shortened, running-clock competi-tions . Sandwiched between those two playdays was another event hosted by the Dukes at University Park on Family Weekend .

In the event, JMU took on Louisville and Richmond, as well as hosting Keio University from Japan .

“That was a really great day for JMU all around,” Klaes-Bawcombe said . “We hosted two teams that play at a high level and we hosted Keio University from Japan, which was a really cool experience for our team . They’re a team that is looking to use American colleges and universities to grow their program and their game and find competitive opportunities outside of their country . Our parents then hosted a tailgate for them after playing and that was so neat because they’re on your campus, they speak a different language and a lot of their girls are older than ours, but it was a unique situation and it was a lot of fun to have them here .”

Finishing off the fall season, the Dukes traveled to Charlottesville to take on Vir-ginia . It was the only single-team event on the schedule for the Dukes .

“We normally have a great chance to play Virginia twice in a year; once in the fall and once in the spring,” Klaes-

Bawcombe said . “Even though Virginia and Richmond are on our schedule during the regular season, they’re great, local competition and we can play a game with them that will allow us to play a lot of players and see what we have, but on the flip side, we don’t have to have our players miss class, which is huge . But they’re competitive teams and it gives us an opportunity to be a better team in the long run . That’s what you strive for as a coach is to find any way pos-sible to make the team better .”

Both Virginia and Rich-mond are on JMU’s 2015 regular-season schedule . The Dukes take on the Spiders March 6 at 6 p .m . in Rich-mond . Three games later the Dukes welcome Virginia for a game with the Cavaliers at University Park on March 18 at 7 p .m .

At the conclusion of fall practice, seniors Lexi Cross, Alison Curwin and Stephanie Finley were named the three captains mov-ing into the regular season .

“We are a young team but we had a lot of players step up and be vocal leaders for our team behind Lexi, Ali and Steph,” Klaes-Bawcombe said . “A lot of work went into building leaders behind those three and we saw great strides from a handful of players in being leaders on the field .”

This season, JMU’s 17-game schedule features seven teams that participated in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, including na-tional champion Maryland and national semifinalist Virginia .

JMU opens the slate Feb . 1 on the road against 2013 national champion North Carolina in Chapel Hill . The Dukes will open their eight-game home slate Sunday, Feb . 15, with a 1 p .m . match against Connecticut . Prior to that, JMU will travel to Virginia Tech on Feb . 12 .

“We have a challenging season-opener against North Caro-lina, but it’s going to be a great chance for us to get the year going before playing Virginia Tech, who we normally open the year with,” Klaes-Bawcombe said . “There’s always a lot of pressure to

beat Virginia Tech and this year with play-ing someone the quality of UNC, it gives us an opportunity to go against a strong team and get some early feedback before playing Virginia Tech .”

Overall, JMU’s 11 non-conference matchups are against teams that finished with a 121-80 record in 2014 . The mental-ity behind the challenging schedule is to not have to rely on winning the CAA Tour-nament to make the NCAA Tournament .

“All of these tough matchups are to set ourselves up in good position to compete for the CAA Championships in May,” Klaes-Bawcombe said . “We have some chances at redemption in one-goal losses last year, but it’s a solid schedule that I be-lieve will prepare us to succeed throughout and at the end of the season .”

MGOLF WINS FINAL FALL EVENTThe James Madison men’s golf team put together anoth-

er complete round and captured the team title at the 2014 Old Dominion/Outerbanks Golf Invitational, Oct . 19-21 . The three-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by Old Domin-ion University was played at Kilmarlic Golf Course (Par 71 – 6,535 yards) in Powells Point, North Carolina .

JMU entered the final round with a slim three-shot ad-vantage over Hartford and five shots over George Mason . Madison was the only team under par in the final round with a 1-under 283 to finish at 6-over 858, four shots ahead of runner-up Hartford . Maryland was third at 17-over 869, with Campbell in fourth at 21-over 873 . Host Old Dominion round-

ed out the top five teams at 22-over 874 .

“It was great to watch the guys play well this week,” Head Coach Jeff Forbes said . “We had a very average day on Sunday and ended up only a few shots back of the lead . The guys really turned it on Monday and Tuesday, shooting un-der par both days . For such a young team, the guys held it together after a rough start and finished really strong today . This win is the per-

fect way to finish the fall season .”Sophomore Ryan Cole tied for runner-up honors, his best

finish in a college event, after a final-round even-par 71 put him at 2-under 211 for the tournament, tying with Maryland’s Ben Wamquist . The pair finished six shots back of Campbell’s Gaston Bertinotti, who shot a final round 3-under 68 and completed the 54 holes at 8-under 205 . It was Cole’s sec-ond top-10 finish of the fall and sev-enth top-15 of at JMU, while he also posted his lowest 54-hole total in his college career .

Sophomore Poom Pattaropong tied for 14th with teammate fresh-man Jack Floydd at 4-over 217 . Pattaropong had a 2-over 73 in the final round, while Floydd had a team-best final round with a 2-under 69, his low of the fall . Senior Jon Weiss

shot a 1-under 70 in the last round, his second straight un-der-par round, and tied for 22nd at 6-over 219, while sophomore Connor Walters tied for 32nd at 9-over 222 .

“This was a great finish for Ryan,” Forbes contin-ued . “He played solid all three rounds and just came up a little short of his first win . His game and confi-dence are coming around and I believe he will win his first tournament this spring . Jon also played great the fi-nal two days after struggling in the first round .”

Cole finished the fall as the leading player for JMU, averaging 72 .47 strokes per round in five tournaments and 15 rounds played . The next three players for Madison also played in all five fall events and were within a stroke aver-age of each other, as Walters was next at 73 .13 strokes per round, followed by Pattaropong’s 73 .33 and Weiss at 73 .80 . Six Dukes had at least one round in the 60s with the top three in scoring average also recording at least one fall top-10 fin-ish each .

As a team, the Dukes finished in the top five in four of the five fall events, including the win at the ODU tournament . The team averaged just over 290 strokes per round played, inclduing a JMU-record 274 at the Golfweek Program Chal-lenge, where the Dukes eventually posted a .17-under 847, the most under-par tournament score in school annals .

The ODU/OBX tournament completed the Dukes’ fall part of the 2014-15 schedule . The team will return to the course Mon .-Tue ., March 9-10 for the 2015 Bash at the

Beach Invitation-al . Hosted by Ap-palachian State, the event will be played at Surf Golf & Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach, South Car-olina . The CAA C h a m p i o n s h i p will be played April 24-26 at St . James Plantation in Southport, North Carolina, with the winner earning the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA Regionals .
