here to find the photo and read more<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nBecause we couldn\u2019t ask you to part with your own objects (well, we could, but they would need to be shipped from locations around the globe!), we decided to use objects on hand.<\/p>\n
Current coaches Roger Mast <\/strong>(men’s soccer), Ted Erickson<\/strong> (women’s soccer), J.D. McCurdy<\/strong> (softball) and Carrie Bert<\/strong> (women’s volleyball) each had important pieces of EMU sports history in their offices.<\/p>\nSandy Brownscombe<\/strong>, who coached field hockey, women’s basketball and men’s volleyball, also donated a few important items [like a piece of net snipped after the Royals won the first ODAC women’s basketball championship!].<\/p>\nThe trophy cases outside Yoder Arena provided some objects. Former golf coach Wendell Eberly, who coached the first mens’ and women’s golf teams, brought by clubs, tees, balls, and a bag (not pictured), fittingly as he was on his way to play a round of golf.<\/p>\n
One object that came from a former athlete is the baseball, provided by centerfielder Daryl Lambert \u201992<\/strong><\/a>. Daryl has a collection of all the balls he caught to make the last out in winning games, including this one that he caught when EMC beat cross-town rival Bridgewater College for the first time.<\/p>\nFor more good reading on Royals sports, see the Fall 2009-10 issue of Crossroads magazine below.<\/p>\n
