Head Coach Doug Hill Doug Hill enters his sixth season as head coach at Air Force in 2012. Hill spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach at Air Force before being promoted to head coach in June of 2007. A 1983 graduate of the Academy, Hill guided the Falcons to a 12-6-2 overall record in 2011, the first winning season since 2003 and the most wins in one campaign since 1997. The Falcons also posted a 5-3-2 mark in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, good for a second-place finish in the Mountain Division. Hill, who enters the 2012 campaign with a 36-51-5 career record, also led his team to its first victory at the conference tournament since ‘03 with a 2-0 win over Denver in the first round of the MPSF Championships last fall. In his five seasons at the helm, Hill has coached 20 Falcons to all-conference honors, including five last season, all of whom were underclassmen. This season, Hill has 19 letterwinners and nine starters returning from last year’s squad. In fact, nine of the 11 players that scored at least one goal last season are back. Hill, who holds a United States Soccer Federation “A” license, was a four-year varsity letterman at Air Force and played for his predecessor, Lou Sagastume. He was team captain both his junior and senior seasons. In all four years, Hill helped the Falcons win the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship. After graduation, he remained at the Academy as the assistant soccer coach and a physical education instructor for one year. Hill left the Academy in 1984 for Dyess AFB, Texas, where he was an instructor navigator in the C-130 aircraft. In addition, he assisted and filled in as the interim head soccer coach for the men’s and women’s soccer teams at Hardin-Simmons University (Texas) from 1986-1988. In 1988, he led the women’s team to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) championship game and finished second in the nation. He also played on the all-Air Force soccer team in 1985 and 1987 and coached the 1986 team. After eight years away from the Academy, Hill returned as an assistant coach in 1992 and helped guide the Falcons to consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament in `92 and `93. In 1993, the Falcons advanced to the Final Eight after beating undefeated and No. 1-ranked Creighton, 2-1, in four overtimes on the road in the first round. The 1996 team advanced to the WAC championships after going 14-3-3 during the regular season, while the 1997 squad earned a trip to the NCAA Tourney. Hill moved on to McChord AFB, Wash., in 1997, holding positions of Director, Wing Weapons and Tactics for the 62nd Airlift Wing and Operations Officer for the 4th Airlift Squadron, a C-141 unit. He guided the all-Air Force soccer team as a player-coach in 1999 and 2000, winning the Armed Forces championship both years. He also coached the allArmed Services team in 1999 and 2000. In 2001, Hill returned to the sidelines at his alma mater. He was an assistant coach from 2001-05 before earning a promotion to associate head coach for the 2006 campaign. During that tenure at AFA, the Falcons were ranked as high as 19th in the country during the 2001 campaign and he helped Marcus Sagastume earn MPSF Co-Player of the Year honors in `03. Hill, who has over 2,800 flying hours to his credit, holds a master’s degree in sports administration from the University of Northern Colorado and retired from the Air Force in April of 2006 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. A native of Fleetwood, Pa., Hill, 52, lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Kathy, and their two sons, Luke (13) and Greg (11).

2012 Season Preview When asked about an outlook for the 2012 Air Force men’s soccer season, head coach Doug Hill is quick to point out that this is not a rebuilding year for his Falcons. With 19 letterwinners and nine starters returning, the expectations are as high as ever entering the campaign. The Falcons, who also lost just two of their top eight scorers from last season, are gunning for their first trip to the NCAA playoffs since 1993. “We are very excited about the season with so many returning players that are experienced and coming off of a successful 2011 season just falling short of a birth into the NCAA playoffs,” said Hill. “It has been a goal for this group for a while and I think it is very achievable this year. The reality is there are 204 other D-1 schools with the same goal and only 48 will be selected. It is usually a fight to the end and the players we have are ready to battle till the end.” Coming off the team’s first winning season in eight years, a 12-6-2 campaign that ended with a heartbreaking defeat in the semifinals of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament, the Falcons had a very productive spring season and are looking to continue that momentum into the fall campaign. Leading the way in 2012 are senior captains Kevin Durr, Eric Tise and Matt Underwood. Durr, the team’s reigning twotime MVP and a first-team all-conference performer the last two years, led the squad in scoring with 22 points on six goals and 10 assists. His 10 assists ranked second in the MPSF and seventh nationally and were the

most by a Falcon in one season since Marcus Sagastume had 13 in 2003. Durr also became AFA’s first All-Far West region selection since 2005. “The leadership on this team is excellent!” exclaimed Hill. “The seniors all know they are playing their last season of college ball and want to make a statement for themselves and Air Force soccer with a run into the NCAA’s. The boys put in the fitness work over the summer and are coming back fit and ready to play. It’s a fun group that plays well together and they are very united and committed. It has been almost two decades since we had 10 seniors on the team and we will have no problem with leadership.” Fellow senior Garrett Getschow, who returned to the team last season after taking a leave of absence from the Academy for the 2010 campaign, is back after scoring a teamhigh nine goals, including three game-winners last year. Junior Brian Klazura also returns after posting six goals, including three gamewinners of his own and two assists as a sophomore. Seniors Conor Henry (six points), Zane Dydasco (five points) and Patrick Compton (one assist) along with junior Caleb Downey (second-team all-conference) return some firepower up front and in the middle. Tise leads a defense that allowed just one goal per game in 2011 and returns three starters. Tise, an honorable mention all-MPSF pick last year, finished third among field players in minutes played last year. He notched two assists in ’11, both coming on game-winning goals. Seniors Trevor Wade and Jake Jones also return to the back line after appearing in 20 and 19 games, respectively, last season. Senior Kevin Rossillon, junior Mitch Kim and sophomore Matt Payne will vie for playing time. Underwood, meanwhile, returns as the starting goalie after earning honorable mention all-conference accolades for the second consecutive year in 2011. He posted an excellent 0.97 goals-against average last season, good for third in the conference. He also recorded five shutouts, the most by a Falcon keeper in one season since Mike Brophy had six in 2001. Underwood finished second in the MPSF with 80 saves and produced a careerhigh 11 saves in a scoreless tie at Denver. The incoming class consists of 13 players that make up another strong recruiting class. Three come in from the AFA Prep school while seven of the recruits have played on U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams. Members of the Class of 2016 come from 10 different states. “We brought in another solid freshmen class and some will contribute right away,” said Hill. “It is nice that we don’t have to rely on a lot of them right away with all the challenges at the academy, but those that step up to the college pace will get playing time.”

Senior goalie Matt Underwood The class is highlighted by Joey Haug (Rocklin, CA), Ben Kern (Charlotte, NC), Abinadi Samayoa (Kaysville, UT), Jacob LaPorte (Monrovia, CA) and Connor Dunbaker (Columbia, SC). The Falcons, whose 12 wins last season were the most since the 1997 squad won 13, will open the regular season on Saturday, August 25 at service-academy rival Army, then play their first home game on Friday, Aug. 31 against UC Davis during Parents’ Weekend followed by a game against Drexel on Sept. 2 at Cadet Soccer Stadium. “I feel the key will be doing well in the non-conference portion along with our tough conference games where two teams are ranked in the top 30, with New Mexico ranked No. 2 in the country,” said Hill. “The preseason conference coach’s poll has us picked to come in tie for third with Denver and think it is the highest we have been ranked since 2000.” The eight-team Mountain Pacific Sports Federation will once again split into two fourteam divisions for the 2012 campaign. Air Force will be in the Mountain Division with New Mexico, conference newcomer Houston Baptist and Denver and will play each of those schools in a home-and-home series. The Falcons will play the four schools in the Pacific Division, San Jose State, UNLV, Seattle University and Cal. State-Bakersfield, just one time for a total of 10 conference games. The MPSF Tournament begins on Thurs., Nov. 8 in Albuquerque, N.M., while the 2012 NCAA Tournament opens on Thursday, Nov. 15.

The MPSF The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 season to serve the competitive needs of member institThe Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 season to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10and Western Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championships competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The founding principles on which the MPSF was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation hasalso served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. Since its inaugural season the Federation has seen its primary conference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain West and West Coast Conferences and their respective member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s water polo, women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s swimming. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully navigate the ever-changing sea of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its members.As the MPSF begins its 21st seasonin 2012-2013 and continues its legacy of championship competition,itaffirmsthe vision of its founders and the relevance of its three founding principles, particularlyduring today’s tumultuous economic times and ever changing intercollegiate athletics landscape. In 2012-2013, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 13 intercollegiate Olympic sports, while serving approximately 1,800 student-athletes on 99 teams from 41 universities in 14 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF champions are eligible to compete in NCAA Championships with men’s 2011 All-MPSF Teams soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events.Joining the Federation for the first time isHouston Baptist MPSF Player of the Year Men’s Soccer, Denver Men’s Swimming and Diving, Hawaii Women’s Swimming and Diving and Gyasi Zardes, Fr., F, CSU Bakersfield Women’s Indoor Track and Field, USC Women’s Lacrosse, CSU Bakersfield Women’s Water Polo, and Cal Baptist Men’s Volleyball.

The USAFA 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 threeweek 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.

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.

Director of Athletics Dr. Hans J. Mueh

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his ninth 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 (200607). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team has won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament five of the last six years. 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 secondplace 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 gone to a school-record five consecutive bowl games and averaged over 9,000 bowl tickets sold during that time. 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

58

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 the Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in July 2011. 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 first-team 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. 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.

Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh is in his ninth season as the Director of Athletics. In 2006-07, Air Force was one of just three Division I schools to reach post-season play in football, men’s basketball and ice hockey and the first service academy to accomplish the remarkable feat.

USAFA 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 Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationallyranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-inChief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 18 times, which is more than any other academy. 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 5,858. 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, the Holaday Athletic Center (below), was completed in July 2011.
