COACHING STAFF

ERIC SEREMET HEAD COACH THIRD YEAR (NORTH CAROLINA ‘92) In 2011, Eric Seremet enters his third season as the head coach for the Air Force lacrosse program. Following the retirement of the legendary Fred Acee in 2008, Seremet, a seven-year assistant for the Falcons, took over the reins as the interim head coach during the 2009 campaign. In his first season leading Air Force, Seremet guided the Falcons to a 7-7 overall ledger, including a 4-1 record in the Great Western Lacrosse League and a second-place conference finish. Air Force’s seven wins were the most since 2006 and more than in the previous two seasons combined, while the team finished at .500 for the first time since 1997. In addition, the Falcons’ four league wins were a school-record, while their second-place league finish matched a program-best (set previously in 1995). A late-season surge by Air Force in 2009 saw the Falcons win four-straight contests, including their first win over Ohio State since 1997, to earn their first-ever bid to the GWLL Championship tournament. Over the course of the year, Air Force averaged nine goals per game, its highest offensive output since 1997, while allowing just 8.93 goals per contest. The highlight of the 2010 season came on March 13, as Air Force defeated Army, 8-7, in overtime. It marked the first-ever win for the Falcons over the rival Black Knights in Army’s first trip to the Academy.

Similarly, the Falcons’ extra-man offense has twice ranked in the top 20 nationally with a 37 percent success rate in 2003 and 40 percent in 2005 (14th and ninth, respectively). Before arriving at the Academy, Seremet, a native of Camillus, N.Y., and 1988 graduate of West Genesee High School, spent a year as an assistant coach at Cornell University. There he helped the Big Red maintain a top-20 ranking throughout the 2001 season. Prior to his stint at Cornell, Seremet was the top assistant for four years at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

2011 OUTLOOK ADAM PARANKA

With a disappointing 2010 season in the rearview mirror, the Air Force lacrosse team will look to make huge improvements in 2011. The Falcons lose just two seniors from last year’s team, while returning 21 letterwinners and eight of 10 starters from the 2010 campaign. Among the leaders for the Falcons this year will be seniors Zack Carroll and Vinny Sandtorv. Carroll had a breakout year offensively in 2010, scoring a team-best 31 points (21g, 10a) after entering the season with one career point. Meanwhile, team captain Sandtorv, a second-team all-conference pick in 2010, was the Falcons’ second-leading goal scorer last season with 19 goals, while also adding a career-best five assists. Meanwhile, the Falcons’ defense returns two more all-conference picks in brothers Bryan and Dayton Gilbreath, who were both named preseason All-ECAC selections. Bryan, a senior, earned second-team all-conference honors as a long-stick midfielder, while Dayton, a junior, is a two-time first-team all-conference pick and the 2011 preseason ECAC Defensive Player of the Year. In addition to returning its core of veterans from last season, including a group of 10 seniors, Air Force will welcome 25 newcomers to the team, to give the Falcons added depth and talent. This year’s squad will rely on a balance of youth and experience as it works to make a turnaround from the struggles of last season.

ATTACK With two of three starters from the 2010 season lost to graduation, the Falcons’ attack will be a huge question mark in 2011. Junior Adam Paranka is the lone returning starter on attack, finishing the 2010 season third on the team in scoring with 26 points, including a team-best 13 assists. He will need to provide leadership for his new teammates as they adjust to the rigors of collegiate lacrosse.

Probable starters on attack to begin the season include freshmen Mike Crampton of Kinnelon, N.J., and Tommy McKee, from Holt, Mich. Sophomore Pat Harrison, who sat out the 2010 season, should also see significant time on the field. Also adding depth to the offensive group will be sophomore Conor Hogan and freshmen Billy Lawson, Franklin Martin, Luke McNamara and Matt Scott.

MIDFIELD This season, Air Force’s deepest group comes at the midfield position. Once again, the Falcons will look to its midfield to assist with offensive production. Sandtorv is the clear leader of the team, entering this year as the Falcons’ leading scorer with 45 career goals. Meanwhile, Carroll, Air Force’s most improved player a season ago, will look to continue his strong play this season. In addition, junior John DeBonis returns to lead the Falcons at the defensive midfield position. Challenging for starting spots at midfield are freshmen Kyle Cassady, a native of Columbus, Ohio, and Erik Smith, a product of Golden, Colo. Both should be able to give the Falcons added offensive production, while Smith will help Carroll at the face-off X. Other newcomers who should see quite a bit of action this year include sophomore Alex Kauth and freshmen Michael Curran, Taylor Hanley, Scott Hewitson, Dylan Leary and Jacob Podolnick. Also adding depth to the midfield corps are junior Joe Boyle and Matthew Selby and freshmen Kevin Dolan, Adam Hachtel, Tucker Hawley, Sean Murphy, Pat Shannon and Marcus Walker.

DEFENSE Some of the Falcons’ most talented players are featured on the defensive end. Bryan Gilbreath, Air Force’s star at the long-stick midfield position, was one of the nation’s leaders in both ground balls and caused turnovers per game last season. Though he is recovering from a fall injury, he is expected to return to form this spring as one of the Falcons’ most aggressive defenders. Meanwhile, Dayton Gilbreath has proven himself to be Air Force’s toughest defender, assigned to cover each opponent’s top offensive weapon. The GWLL Newcomer of the Year as a freshman, Dayton was selected as the ECAC’s preseason Defensive Player of the Year this season.

VINNY SANDTORV

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

2011 OUTLOOK Senior Benson Oldmixon, who started 12 games on defense last year, will look to hold on to his starting position, while freshman Matt Puleo is expected to make an immediate impact on the defensive side of the field. Other challengers for a starting spot include Tristan Newkirk, and Tom Harris. Newkirk, a senior captain, makes the transition to defense after spending the past three years at midfield, while Harris should see plenty of time on the field as well. Adding depth to the Falcons’ defensive unit are seniors Matt Beath, Andrew Costa and Michael Duenes, sophomores Kyle Nazarek and Zach Tulley and freshmen Erik Lenke and Alex Rosen. In addition, junior John Krzyminski returns to the squad after two years away from the program, while sophomore Dan Schonfeld moves to defense after playing as a goalkeeper in his rookie campaign.

DAYTON GILBREATH

GOALKEEPERS Air Force lists four goalkeepers on its roster this season, including a pair of seniors in Brian Wilson and Woody Johnson. Wilson, who started 11 games for the Falcons last season, leads the way and starts 2011 as Air Force’s top goalie. Johnson has also seen extensive minutes in his career, and will likely be the top back-up this year. Junior Matt Sanders had a strong season in 2010 as well, playing in six games, starting three. Sanders led the team with a 9.42 GAA and .535 save percentage, but an injury to his hand will keep him out of action for most of the year. Meanwhile, sophomore Austin Fox, who saw action in one game last year, had a solid fall, and will provide another capable back-up in goal.

THE SCHEDULE The 2011 season starts off on Feb. 20 in a major venue as the Falcons face Siena in a neutral-site contest at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. Air Force then plays its first home game of the season on Feb. 25, hosting Vermont under the lights in Falcon Stadium. This year, all of Air Force’s home contests will take place at Falcon Stadium, the site of the program’s first-ever victory over service academy rival Army. After just one home game, the Falcons are back on the road, starting with an appearance in the annual Pioneer Face-Off Classic, hosted by Denver, March 5-6. There, Air Force will play two more neutral-site games, facing Manhattan and Jacksonville in non-conference action. The ECAC slate kicks off on March 11, as the Falcons visit Fairfield, while Air Force will play Hofstra, rated ninth in the preseason, in a non-conference road game just two days later. The Falcons make it back to the Academy on March 19, when they welcome Loyola for an ECAC match-up. Air Force’s home stay is short, as it plays its next three games on the road, heading north for a conference game against defending ECAC champion Denver on March 26. The Falcons travel to Macon, Ga., April 2, for a contest against first-year program Mercer, while visiting ECAC foe Bellarmine on April 9. With eight of their first 10 games away from the Academy, the Falcons wrap up the regular season with three straight home contests. Air Force hosts Ohio State in a Sunday evening contest on April 17, followed by a non-conference match-up with Presbyterian on April 23. The regular season concludes on April 30, as the Falcons host Hobart in an ECAC game. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top four teams in the league will qualify for the first-ever ECAC Tournament, which will be hosted this year by 2010 champion Denver. The tournament, which will determine the league’s automatic qualifier to the NCAA Championship, is slated to be held May 6 and 8.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

2010 SEASON REVIEW RIDGE FLICK

The Air Force lacrosse team faced several challenges throughout the 2010 season, including the loss of many of its top scorers to graduation and a limited roster. In their first year as a member of the ECAC Lacrosse League, the Falcons struggled to a 1-13 overall record. Despite their record, the Falcons saw several highlights, including Air Force’s first-ever win over service-academy rival Army, a team which went on to knock off two-time defending champion Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament. In addition, three players were honored as all-conference selections, while senior Ridge Flick was named a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. Air Force opened its 2010 season on Feb. 28, as it hosted St. John’s in a nonconference match-up. The Falcons got off to a slow start against the Red Storm, trailing 7-2 at the end of the first half. Despite finding an offensive spark in the second half, Air Force came up short in the 10-7 loss to open the season. Junior Zack Carroll had a breakout offensive performance against St. John’s, finishing with six points (2g, 4a). Entering the contest, Carroll had scored just one career point. Meanwhile, against the Red Storm, Carroll had a hand in six of the Falcons’ seven goals, including the first two goals of his career. In addition to his scoring outburst, Carroll registered a strong performance at the face-off X, winning 9-of15 face-offs (.600) in the game. Meanwhile, senior Jimmy Curran added two goals for the Falcons, the first of his career. Next for the Falcons was a trip up I-25 for Denver’s annual Pioneer FaceOff Classic, held March 6-7. In its first game of the weekend, Air Force took on Lehigh from the Patriot League. The Falcons led by as many as four goals in the first half and held a 13-10 advantage with just over five minutes remaining in the final period, but the Mountain Hawks battled back, eventually tying the game at 13-13 with just 1:37 left on the clock. With three seconds remaining, Air Force goalkeeper Brian Wilson was able to come up with a crucial save, but in a scrum for the loose ball, Lehigh’s Cameron Lao-Gosney came up with the ball, recording the game-winner as the horn sounded. Wilson had a strong performance between the pipes for Air Force, tying a career-high with 12 saves. The Falcons also had several standout performances on offense, getting five points each from Flick (1g, 4a) and sophomore Adam Paranka (4g, 1a). Flick matched his career high in points and assists, while Paranka, playing in front of his hometown crowd, set career-high marks in both goals and points. In addition, Carroll registered a career-best three goals and Curran matched a career high with two goals. After its heart-breaking loss to Lehigh, Air Force wrapped up the weekend against a tough Penn team. Again, the Falcons led by as many as four goals, but a rally by the Quakers tied the game at 5-5 with 11:47 remaining in the contest. The Falcons went back on top with a goal from junior Tristan Newkirk two minutes later, but Penn tied the game again with just over five and a half minutes to play. At the 3:36 mark, the Quakers took their first lead of the game, but Carroll won the ensuing face-off and ran down the field to tie the score once more. Unfortunately, an Air Force penalty was called on the following face-off, setting up a power-play goal by Penn, its fourth of the day. Unable to score in the final three minutes, the Falcons dropped a one-goal game for the secondstraight day. Despite the loss, Wilson had another solid performance between the pipes for Air Force, tallying a career-best 13 saves. Carroll was the Falcons' leading scorer in the game with three goals, while Newkirk added two. In addition, Sandtorv scored a goal, while Flick recorded a goal and an assist. At the conclusion of the weekend, Carroll (midfield) and Wilson (goalkeeper) were named to the Pioneer Face-Off Classic All-Tournament team. Carroll, who had not scored a goal prior to the 2010 season, registered a

career-best three goals in the game versus Lehigh, before adding three more goals in the contest against Penn. Meanwhile, Wilson put together a pair of solid games in goal, first matching a career high with 12 saves against Lehigh. He was even more impressive against Penn, tallying 13 saves, while allowing just eight goals, only half of which were even-strength scores. The next weekend, Air Force returned home to host service-academy rival Army for the first time in the 16-year series. In addition to looking for their first win of the season, the Falcons were seeking their first-ever victory over the Black Knights. Army took the first lead of the game, scoring less than a minute and a half into the contest before Sandtorv knotted the score at the 11:08 mark with an assist from Paranka. The contest quickly turned into a defensive battle, with neither team scoring until a man-up goal by Carroll with just under two minutes to play in the opening period. The Falcons increased their advantage to 3-1 with another man-up goal, this time by Sandtorv, with 8:44 on the clock in the second period. The defense continued to dominate the game, with neither team scoring until Army got back on the board just two seconds before the intermission. Air Force went back up by two points with 12:15 on the clock in the third period on an unassisted goal by Carroll, while Flick scored off the ensuing faceoff with an assist from sophomore John DeBonis. A score by Sandtorv with just over 10 minutes remaining in the period gave the Falcons their biggest lead of the game with a 6-2 advantage. However, the Black Knights came storming back, with three unanswered goals by Garrett Thul, cutting their deficit to a single goal entering the final stanza. Another Army tally with 12:33 to play in the fourth period tied the score at 6-6. After several minutes of back-and-forth action, the Black Knights broke the tie with 3:19 to play, giving Army the 7-6 lead. It was a familiar situation for the Falcons, who dropped a pair of one-goal games the previous weekend after holding early leads. This time, Air Force was able to come up with an answer. On the Falcons' next possession, Flick picked up a loose ball after an Army save and fired a shot into the back of the net to tie the game at 7-7 with just under two and a half minutes left on the clock. Both goalkeepers came up with crucial stops in the final minutes, including Wilson, whose save in the waning seconds of regulation sent the game into overtime. Army took control on the opening face-off of the overtime period and retained possession for the first two minutes. Another big save by Wilson kept the Falcons' chances alive and a strong defensive play by Sandtorv put the ball back in Air Force's hands. Army goalkeeper Tom Palesky countered with a stop of his own, but the Black Knights' failure to clear gave the Falcons yet another opportunity to score. After a wide shot by Sandtorv, Paranka got in position for the winning shot, scoring his first goal of the game to give Air Force the 8-7 victory. Both teams received solid play from their goalkeepers, with Wilson and Palesky each recording 11 saves in the contest. Sandtorv registered a seasonhigh three goals in the contest, while Carroll registered two goals and an assist. Meanwhile, in addition to his game-winning score, Paranka notched a then-career-best two assists. Riding high on the emotion of their first victory over the rival Black Knights, the Falcons were set to face one of their toughest tests of the season, visiting new conference rival Loyola to open the ECAC slate. The 16th-ranked Greyhounds scored less than a minute into the contest and never looked back, taking a 10-0 lead at the end of the first half. Loyola was up 14-0 in the third period before Sandtorv broke the Falcons' scoring drought with an unassisted goal at the 2:09 mark in the quarter, as the Greyhounds went on to earn the 18-3 victory. Three different goalkeepers saw action between the pipes for the Falcons, with sophomore Matt Sanders posting a team-best seven saves. The Falcons wrapped up their spring break trip with a visit to New York to face Siena for a non-conference match-up. In a low-scoring contest, the Saints earned a 5-2 victory after taking a 2-0 lead at the half. Air Force’s only goals of the game came in the third period, with Paranka assisting Curran on both scores. Next up for Air Force was a road contest against rival Denver. The first of two games between the teams in 2010, the March 27 match-up was designated a non-conference contest (with the conference tilt to be played on May 8). After holding a 3-1 advantage at the end of the opening period, Denver led by as many as five goals in the second quarter. A scoreless drought by the Pioneers helped the Falcons get back within two goals going into the final stanza, but Denver was able to hold on for the 9-6 decision. Air Force held the advantage in nearly every statistical category, outshooting Denver, 30-21, and scooping up 36 ground balls to the Pioneers' 26. In addition, the Falcons dominated at the face-off X, winning 13-of-18 face-offs in the game. Carroll led the way, winning nine face-offs, while DeBonis won 4-of-6 face-offs for Air Force.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

2010 SEASON REVIEW The Falcons headed to Pennsylvania for their final non-conference game of the season, visiting Robert Morris, the highest-scoring team in the nation. Air Force was able to keep it close for much of the contest, trailing 8-6 early in the fourth period, but Robert Morris was able to take advantage of quick scoring spurts to take the 13-7 victory. Sandtorv and Carroll each scored two goals and an assist to lead the Falcons' offense, while Wilson tallied 11 saves between the pipes. Air Force headed home for its next three conference contests, first hosting Quinnipiac. While the Falcons scored the first goal of the game, Quinnipiac controlled possession throughout the opening period, responding with five unanswered goals. The Bobcats’ lead grew to 6-1 in the first minute of the second period, before a pair of Air Force goals brought the score to 6-3 at the half. Back within two goals going into the final quarter, Flick notched a goal with 11:10 remaining in the final stanza to cut the Bobcats’ lead to 7-6. However, Quinnipiac responded with another goal less than three minutes later, and were able to shut out the Falcons for the remainder of the period to take the 8-6 victory. Flick and Sandtorv each tallied two goals and an assist for the Falcons, while Carroll notched a goal and two assists. Paranka, who scored the other Air Force goal, also added an assist. Meanwhile, backup goalkeeper Sanders recorded nine saves and just three goals against in the final 45 minutes of action. Just two days later, the Falcons were back in action against Bellarmine. Once again, Air Force found itself in a close battle, as the game featured six ties and four lead changes. Bellarmine grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first four minutes, but Air Force went on a 5-0 run of its own to take a two-point advantage with 9:31 left in the second period. A pair of scores by the Knights tied the game at 5-5, before freshman Ben Cullen put the Falcons back on top, as Air Force took a 6-5 lead at the half. After playing to an 8-8 tie after three periods, Bellarmine got out to an 11-9 advantage with just under four minutes remaining. While a score by Sandtorv with 1:46 on the clock brought the Falcons back within striking distance, Air Force was unable to capitalize on their scoring opportunities in the final minute, as Bellarmine held on for the one-goal victory. Sandtorv and Paranka each notched four points to lead the Falcons’ offense, while Flick was the top goal scorer with a career-high-tying three tallies. Sandtorv’s two assists matched a career high, while Paranka added a goal and a career-high three assists. Meanwhile, Sanders registered a career-high 13 saves in his first start of the season. The Falcons concluded their homestand on April 17, as they hosted 18thranked conference foe Fairfield. It was another low-scoring affair, with the score tied at 2-2 at the half. The Stags regained the lead early in the third period and went up 4-2 with another goal midway through the quarter. Air Force responded with a goal from Sandtorv at the 3:56 mark in the period, but with strong defensive efforts by both goalkeepers, neither team was able to score again, each going scoreless in the final stanza as Fairfield took the 4-3 victory. Sanders continued his hot play between the pipes for Air Force, registering 11 saves and posting a .733 ZACK CARROLL save percentage. Meanwhile, the Stags' Joe Marra, who entered the contest ranked in the top five nationally in both save percentage and goals against average, finished the game with 14 stops. On April 24, Air Force traveled to Columbus, Ohio, to face ECAC rival Ohio State in the “Showdown in the Shoe.” An NCAA-record crowd of 31,078 fans gathered to watch the Falcons and Buckeyes face off prior to Ohio State’s spring football game. Air Force got out to a strong start against the home team, leading 5-3 with under five minutes left in the second quarter, the Buckeyes closed out the half with a pair of goals. While the Falcons scored

the first goal of the third period, Ohio State went back on top with a pair of scores in the quarter and shut out Air Force in the fourth quarter to earn the 10-6 victory. Carroll led the Falcons with a hat trick, while Sandtorv added two goals. Also scoring his first career point was freshman Paul Gaski. The Falcons closed out their road slate with a trip to Geneva, N.Y., to face new conference opponent Hobart. While the two teams entered the game evenly matched, the Statesmen were able to make the most of their home-field advantage, dominating from the opening face-off. Hobart scored just three seconds into the contest and held a 5-0 advantage before the Falcons’ first goal came with 4:32 remaining in the opening period, as Flick capitalized on a failed clear by the Statesmen to register an unassisted score. Hobart held a 12-2 advantage at the half before earning the 17-6 victory. Flick led the Air Force offense with two goals and an assist, while Curran (two goals) and Paranka (one goal, one assist) added two points each. Air Force had just one more game remaining on its schedule, a rematch against Denver, which had ascended to a No. 12 national ranking. The Pioneers, who entered the contest with a perfect ECAC record, had already clinched the conference title. Meanwhile, the Falcons would be playing at the site of their lone win of the season—Falcon Stadium. The Falcons grabbed the first lead of the game with a score from Paranka at the 9:22 mark in the opening period, but after a 5-0 run by the Pioneers, Air Force never led again. The Falcons trailed, 8-2, at the half and Denver led by as many as nine before taking the 15-7 victory. Paranka (two goals, one assist) and Carroll (one goal, two assists) led the Air Force offense with three points each. At the conclusion of the regular season, the ECAC all-conference teams were announced. While Air Force struggled to an 0-7 record in the ECAC, the Falcons placed three athletes on the all-conference teams, more than Bellarmine, Hobart, Ohio State and Quinnipiac. Dayton Gilbreath, a first-team All-GWLL selection and GWLL Newcomer of the Year in 2009, earned first-team All-ECAC honors on defense. The sophomore, who started every game for the Falcons at close defense, finished second on the team in caused turnovers with 16, while also being credited with 25 ground balls. Meanwhile, Bryan Gilbreath (specialist) and Sandtorv (midfield) were each named to the All-ECAC second team. A second-team All-GWLL selection as a long-stick midfielder in 2009, Bryan split his duties in 2010 between the longstick midfield position and close defense. He picked up a team-best and careerhigh 71 ground balls on the season, ranking tied for 16th nationally in ground balls per game. In addition, he was credited with a team-best 28 caused turnovers on the year, ranking ninth in the nation and first in the ECAC with 2.0 per contest. Sandtorv earned the first all-conference honors of his career. One of the Falcons’ team captains, he started all 14 contests on the season at the midfield position. He was second on the team in goals scored with 19 and fourth in total points with 24, despite drawing the opponents’ top defenders. He also registering a career-best five assists, while tying for the team lead in man-up goals on the season with four. Several awards were announced at the Falcons’ end-of-year banquet. Earning the team’s top award as most valuable player was Flick. A starting attackman for the past two seasons, Flick was second on the team in both points (27) and assists (12) in 2010. In addition, Flick has been a standout in the classroom, holding the team’s highest GPA as an aeronautical engineering major, and was tabbed one of 10 finalists for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. The team captain was also one of two recipients of the Iron Bolt Award, given to the player(s) who demonstrate the most commitment to the strength and conditioning program, in terms of attitude, effort and leadership, sharing the award with his co-captain, Sandtorv. In addition to earning the Iron Bolt Award, Sandtorv was named the Falcons’ offensive MVP. Dayton Gilbreath was named the Falcons’ defensive MVP, while Carroll was the recipient of this year’s Most Improved Award after finishing the year as Air Force’s top scorer, registering a team-high 21 goals and 31 points. The Ground Ball Award, given to the player who picks up the most ground balls over the course of the season, was earned by Bryan Gilbreath, while DeBonis was honored with a pair of awards. For the second-straight season, DeBonis was the recipient of the Unsung Hero Award, which is granted to the player who contributes most to the team’s success without getting the recognition. He was also honored with the Pace Weber Award, which is presented yearly as a tribute to C1C Pace Weber, who perished along with his instructor in a T-3 flight training accident here at the Academy. Voted on by members of the team, the recipient is an individual who most exemplifies the characteristics by which Pace Weber lived his life.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

ECAC LACROSSE LEAGUE

ABOUT THE ECAC The ECAC is the nation's largest athletic and the only multi-divisional conference with approximately 300 Divisions I, II, and III colleges and universities from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Illinois. Established in 1938, the ECAC, a non-profit service organization, sponsors nearly 100 championships in 37 men's and women's sports, assigns more than 4,400 officials in 12 sports, administers nine affiliate sports organizations and six playing leagues and recognizes more than 2,000 student-athletes through the public relations arm of the conference. The ECAC serves as the primary conference for select members in the sports of men's and women's ice hockey, and men's lacrosse.

ABOUT THE ECAC LACROSSE LEAGUE 44

One of the top-ranked conference in Division I men’s lacrosse, the ECAC Lacrosse League, began competition in 2000 and enjoyed immediate success. In the league’s 11-year history, members have earned 21 NCAA tournament berths. A league team has advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals in seven of the league’s 11 years. In 2006, Massaschusetts played in the national championship game. In 2003, the ECAC had all four of its teams qualify for the NCAA tournament, comprising a quarter of the 16-team field. The champion of the ECAC Lacrosse League earns an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. This year, the league champion will be determined through a playoff tournament which includes the top four teams of the round-robin regular season schedule. The ECAC Lacrosse League was established in 1999 with charter members Georgetown, Massachusetts, Navy, Penn State, Rutgers, Stony Brook and UMBC. Stony Brook left the league after the 2001 season, while the 2003 season was the final year in the ECAC for Navy and UMBC. In 2005, Hobart, Loyola and St. John’s joined the ECAC, while Fairfield joined the league in 2006. The league saw a completely new alignment in 2010, with the departure of Georgetown, Massachusetts, Penn State, Rutgers and St. John’s, and the addition of Air Force, Bellarmine, Denver, Ohio State and Quinnipiac. With the departure of Quinnipiac after one season, the ECAC Lacrosse League currently features seven teams.

PACE WEBER MEMORIAL AWARD The Falcons dedicated the 1998 season to the memory of Pace Weber, a three-year letterwinner on the lacrosse team. Pace and instructor pilot Capt. Glen Comeaux died when their T-3A Firefly training plane crashed on June 25, 1997, in Colorado Springs. The Falcons created an award in his honor that will be given each year to the person who best exemplifies Pace’s spirit. The award can go to anyone associated with the Falcon lacrosse program. The plaque reads: This award is presented yearly as a tribute to C1C Pace Weber, who perished along with his instructor in a T-3 flight training accident, here at the Academy. Voted on by members of the varsity team, the recipient is an individual associated with the USAFA varsity lacrosse team, who most exemplifies the characteristics by which Pace lived his life.

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay awhile, leaving footprints on our hearts ... and we are never the same.”

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

LACROSSE FACILITIES

FALCON STADIUM This season, the Air Force lacrosse team will play all of its contests in Falcon Stadium, the site of Air Force’s first-ever victory over service academy rival Army. Falcon Stadium was built in the fall of 1962. The stadium, which was built in a natural bowl, has a capacity of 46,692 and stands in the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains. Over the years, Falcon Stadium has seen numerous improvements. In 1991, the Academy installed nine skyboxes and remodeled the existing press box. In 2002, the Academy added permanent lights, while in 2004, a new scoreboard was installed. Prior to the 2006 season, FieldTurf was installed at the stadium. The new turf covers 84,480 square feet with an additional 26,520 square feet of native grass surrounding it. The stadium was originally built solely for football, but several non-athletic events, such as the Academy's annual graduation, are conducted there.

CADET LACROSSE STADIUM The primary practice facility for the Air Force lacrosse team is the Cadet Lacrosse Stadium, which can also be used for competition. Home to the Falcons’ JV football team in the fall, the Cadet Lacrosse Stadium was refurbished with a new scoreboard for the 2009 season, while new improvements will continue to be made over the next several years.

CADET FIELD HOUSE During inclement weather, the Cadet Field House provides a full-field indoor artificial turf field for lacrosse use. The multi-purpose area has various uses during the year. It is the home of the Falcon track team. The area is also utilized by the football and baseball teams for indoor practice. Because of the full range of facilities available, lacrosse players can enjoy year-round practice—fall lacrosse with off-season scrimmages, winter weight training and indoor practice in the spring. The Cadet Field House is home to one of the largest permanently hung canvas paintings in the world. The mural, commissioned by the USAFA Association of Graduates and the class of 1976, is the work of Colorado Springs artist Michael Esch. The mural hangs on the north interior wall of the indoor track, and is 40 feet high and 320 feet long. The theme of the work concerns the life of cadets at the Academy through their four-year stay, and is reflected in four distinct panel divisions. A common thread underpinning all panels is the environment of the Academy, with its mountain backdrop, Colorado sky and architectural setting. Over this background, a montage of scenes from all four years progresses on the panels. The composition touches the military, academic, athletic and character development mission of the Academy. The mural was completed in November 1997.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

HOLADAY ATHLETIC CENTER The Holaday Athletic Center, Air Force’s newest athletic facility, is slated for completion by August 2011. The 92,000 square-foot center will house a regulation-sized field that can accommodate football, lacrosse and soccer, in addition to many other athletic activities. Cadet athletic development and performance will be enhanced through reduced weather delays, increased practice time, and improved replication of game conditions that the facility provides. “This athletic facility will allow our cadets to safely train all year-round,” says Dr. Mueh, the Director of Athletics. “This is a tremendous step forward for the athletics program and the Academy in terms of providing vital support for our cadets’ development and success.” The new building is named for Bart Holaday, Class of ‘65, and his wife, Lynn, who committed $5 million toward the construction of the new indoor athletic training facility. It marked the largest gift from a graduate to the Academy in the institution’s history. Once completed, the facility will be among the best in the nation and is destined to become a landmark of private philanthropy as the largest privately-funded capital project in the Academy’s history.

2011 AIR FORCE LACROSSE

THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy's faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master's degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets' second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

www.usafa.edu HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP Lt. Gen. Michael C. Gould is Superintendent, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DR. HANS J. MUEH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS • SEVENTH YEAR $15 million facility will be completed early in 2011.

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his seventh year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy's faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the postseason in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team won three straight conference championships and made three straight appearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has posted backto-back eight-win seasons and qualified for bowl games since, marking the first time since 1990-92 Air Force has been to a bowl three straight years.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy's eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a firstteam all-league selection in 1965. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master's degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of an Indoor Training Facility that broke ground in the summer of 2010. The

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy's representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men's golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

AIR FORCE ATHLETICS Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Brigham Young, New Mexico, Colorado State, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, Utah and UNLV. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 16 times, which is more than Army and Navy combined. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000.

Clune Arena seats 5,939. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility is the Holaday Athletic Center, which will be completed in 2011.
