ERIC SEREMET HEAD COACH FIFTH YEAR (NORTH CAROLINA ‘92) Eric Seremet is in his fifth 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. Last season, Seremet guided the Falcons to a 6-7 overall record, including a thrilling overtime victory against service academy rival Army. Seremet also oversaw Air Force’s most potent offensive unit since 1997, as the Falcons averaged 17.8 points and 10.9 goals per contest. In 2011, Seremet helped lead a young Air Force squad to a 6-7 overall record, which included a win over 17th-ranked Loyola. After a slow start, the Falcons won five of their last six games to reach six victories for just the third time in 14 seasons and the second time in the last three years. With a 3-3 ledger in the ECAC, Air Force tied for third place in the seven-team league. 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 secondplace 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 firstever 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. As the top assistant for the Falcons from 2002-2008, Seremet worked primarily with the offense, while assisting with recruiting and scouting. Since his arrival at the Academy, Air Force has seen improvement in total goals scored and goals per game. In 2005, the Falcons registered a 41 percent increase in scoring output compared to Seremet’s first season at 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. While at Stony Brook, Seremet had his hand in all aspects of the program, coaching both ends of the field. In 1998, he coached the top goaltender in Division I in save percentage, while the defense ranked third in goals against. Seremet also served as a graduate assistant coach at Dartmouth College during the 1993 season. Seremet attended the University of North Carolina, where he was a four-year letterwinner for the lacrosse team. During his career, the Tar Heels won four ACC titles and advanced to the NCAA Final Four each season.

Seremet began his professional career in 1993 with the Boston Blazers of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League.

2013 OUTLOOK Air Force, which finished the 2012 season with a 6-7 overall record, takes the field this season with 34 returning letterwinners and nine of 10 starters from last year. The Falcons, who return over 96 percent of their points from 2012, are led on the offensive end by juniors Mike Crampton and Tommy McKee and sophomore Keith Dreyer. Crampton, who notched 34 points in 2012, led Air Force in total goals scored last season with 29, the most for an Air Force player since the 1998 season. Dreyer, an ECAC all-rookie selection, tallied a team-leading 27 assists and 46 points in his freshman campaign, ranking among the nation’s leaders in both assists and points per game, while McKee added 30 points (23g, 7a) to complete the Falcons’ starting attack. In addition, junior midfielders Erik Smith and Kyle Cassady round out the group of the Falcons’ top five scorers from a year ago, accumulating 20 and 19 points, respectively, in 2012. While the Falcons lose four-time all-conference defender Dayton Gilbreath, junior Matt Puleo and sophomore Davis Gunter return to anchor the defense, along with sophomore long-stick midfielder Kyle O’Brien and senior goalkeeper Austin Fox. In addition to its core of experienced players, Air Force will feature a large contingent of underclassmen on its squad. Of the 50 players listed on the roster, 30 are underclassmen, with 14 sophomores and 16 freshmen. The strength of the Falcons’ talented youth will only serve to continue building the program this season and in the years to come.
TOMMY MCKEE
ATTACK The Falcons’ attack carries high expectations coming into 2013, as all three starters from last season return this year. Crampton, a team captain this season, will be expected to lead Air Force’s offense as the Falcons’ leading goal scorer. He enters this year with a team-best 45 career goals and carries a 15game goal scoring streak into this season. McKee, who emerged as a more consistent offensive threat last season, gives the Falcons’ another goal scoring threat. Meanwhile, Dreyer showed great maturity as a freshman in running Air Force’s offense and will continue to do so this year.
Other returners on attack include sophomore Ryland De Pol and senior Pat Harrison, who both tied for sixth on the team in points scored last season with 12 each. De Pol notched 10 goals and two assists in his rookie campaign, as he saw significant playing time, particularly with the man-up unit, finishing second on the team with four man-up goals. Meanwhile, Harrison, who tallied seven goals and five assists in 2012, will look to be a contributor in his final year for the Falcons. Among the newcomers hoping to make an impact for the Falcons this year is Danny Brown, a native of Mooresville, N.C. The top freshman attackman, Brown is looking to challenge for a spot in Air Force’s lineup, while classmates Shelton Collier (Atlanta, Ga.) and Parker Self (Doylestown, Pa.) will also battle for playing time.
MIDFIELD Air Force also returns a wealth of experience at the midfield position, with two-year starters Smith and Cassady leading the way. In addition to contributing on the offensive end last season with eight goals and 12 assists, Smith ranked among the team’s leaders in ground balls. One of the Falcons’ best all-around players, the team captain will also continue to share face-off duties with fellow captain Bryan Price. Meanwhile, Cassady, who notched 11 goals and eight assists in 2013, is another of the Falcons’ top scorers from the midfield position. Several Falcons split time at the third starting offensive midfield spot last season, including junior Michael Curran (6a) and sophomore Tom Burgess (9g, 2a). They will be challenged this year by junior Marcus Walker, who showed great improvement in 2012, tallying nine points (5g, 4a) on the year, as well as newcomers Christopher Allen (Hillsborough, N.J.) and Hunter Corpus (Coronado, Calif.). Allen is already arguably one of the Falcons’ top midfielders, while Corpus has the potential to be very good. Junior Taylor Hanley is the early leader as a short-stick defensive midfielder, but he will be challenged for the top spot by newcomer Brenden Coleman (Doylestown, Pa.). Meanwhile, Price returns as the Falcons’ leader at the face-off X after walking on to the team last season as a sophomore, earning ECAC All-Rookie honors.
DEFENSE The Falcons suffered their greatest loss on defense, with the graduation of Gilbreath, a four-year starter. However, Air Force welcomes back several experienced defenders, including Puleo and Gunter, the Falcons’ returning starters at close defense. Puleo, who has started every game in his first two years, ranked among the team leaders in caused turnovers last season with 10, while Gunter earned ECAC All-Rookie honors on defense finishing the year with 21 ground balls and 14 caused turnovers. In addition, O’Brien had a standout rookie campaign as the Falcons’ top long-stick midfielder, leading Air Force in both ground balls (50) and caused turnovers (17), while also contributing nine points (3g, 6a) to the Falcons’ of8 • 2013 AIR FORCE LACROSSE
ERIK SMITH
2013 OUTLOOK fense. The early favorite to take over the third spot in the starting lineup on defense is freshman Alex Warden (Glen Mills, Pa.), an excellent athlete who is a product of the Academy Prep School. Also challenging for a starting position is newcomer Luke Leathers (Parker, Colo.), another athletic player with great stick skills. Other players who should see significant playing time on the defensive end include senior Kyle Nazarek, who is looking to break into the lineup in his final season, and junior Erik Lenke, who worked diligently in the off-season to improve his strength and push for a spot. Meanwhile, freshmen Jake Lindell (Denver, Colo.) and Matt McCall (Mission Viejo, Calif.) will battle for playing time as back-ups at the LSM position.
GOALKEEPERS Returning as the starter at the goalkeeper position is senior Austin Fox, who saw his first extended action last season. He has made great improvement since 2012, but will be pushed by a pair of talented freshmen in Doug Gouchoe (Concord, Mass.) and Brett Dadiego (Baldwin, N.Y.). All three goalies had strong performances in the off-season, but the early nod will go to the veteran.
THE SCHEDULE This year’s schedule is filled with tough match-up for the Falcons, featuring five games against 2012 NCAA participants. In addition, six of Air Force’s opponents—including four ECAC foes— this year are ranked in the preseason USILA poll. The Falcons begin the year against No. 4 North Carolina, as they face the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Feb. 8, while staying in North Carolina for a game against first-year program High Point on Feb. 10.
MATT PULEO
After a non-conference road game at Rutgers on Feb. 16, Air Force returns to Colorado to take part in the annual Face-Off Classic, hosted by the University of Denver, Feb. 23-24. There, the Falcons will take on a pair of 2012 NCAA qualifiers in Canisius and Lehigh. With just three home games on its schedule, Air Force opens its home slate on March 2 versus Marquette, another first-year program. The Falcons then play their next six contests away from the Academy, starting with a road game at Bellarmine on March 9 to start the ECAC slate.

2012 SEASON REVIEW The Air Force lacrosse team had a solid season in 2012, using a youthful lineup to put together a 6-7 overall record on the season. With eight underclassmen in the starting lineup, the Falcons featured a prolific offense that averaged 17.77 points per game, ranking in the top 15 nationally. Among the key victories for the Falcons was a 9-8 overtime victory over service-academy rival Army, just the second in the all-time series between the two teams. Senior captain Dayton Gilbreath was named a first-team All-ECAC selection on defense, while Keith Dreyer, Bryan Price and Davis Gunter were named to the ECAC All-Rookie team. Dreyer, who led all freshmen nationally in points and assists per game, scored a team-leading 47 points, the highest single-season total for an Air Force player since 1998, while sophomore Mike Crampton registered 29 goals, also the highest single-season mark since 1998. For the second-straight season, Air Force opened up its schedule with a neutral site contest at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. This year, the Falcons faced Rutgers in their first game of the season on Feb. 19, but came up short, dropping an 11-10 contest to the Scarlet Knights. With Air Force trailing 11-8 in the final stanza, Crampton tallied a pair of goals in the last 55 seconds of action, including a man-up score with just six seconds to play, but it was not enough for the Falcons to come away with the win. Sophomore Tommy McKee led the Falcons’ offense against the Scarlet Knights, tallying three goals and an assist, while Crampton added three goals. Dreyer had an impressive collegiate debut for the Falcons, scoring a goal and a team-best three assists. Also scoring for Air Force was sophomore Kyle Cassady with two goals, freshman Ryland De Pol with one goal and freshman Tom Burgess with an assist. Air Force’s next two games were at a neutral site as well, as they headed to Denver for the annual DU Face-Off Classic, held Feb. 25-26. In their first game of the weekend, the Falcons took on Robert Morris, losing in a 17-14 shootout. Air Force, which trailed by as many as five goals in the third quarter, cut the margin to 15-14 with a man-up goal from sophomore Erik Smith with 8:30 remaining. However, the Colonials registered a man-down goal a minute later and added their final tally with 6:51 on the clock as Air Force was unable to get back on the scoreboard. Air Force took advantage of its man-up opportunities, going 4-of-4 on the EMO, but Robert Morris had the advantage at the face-off X, winning 20-of-35 draws. Crampton and Smith each scored three goals, Cassady added four points (2g, 2a) and Dreyer tallied three assists to lead the Falcons, while Jake Hayes led the way for the Colonials, tallying seven goals and an assist. Also scoring for Air Force were Burgess with two goals, McKee and sophomore Marcus Walker with a goal and an assist each, and De Pol and senior Adam Paranka with a goal each. The final game of the weekend for the Falcons came against NCAA newcomer Michigan. While the Wolverines scored the first three goals of the game, Air Force put together a 9-0 run to take control for the victory, a 15-6 decision. Dreyer tallied a game-high seven points, registering three goals and four assists, to help lead the Falcons to their first win of the season. Junior Pat Harrison scored five points, including a career-high four goals, while Smith added a career-best five assists. Crampton and De Pol each added two goals and two assists, while Cassady, Gilbreath, Walker and freshman James Burke pitched in the other scores. The Falcons remained perfect on the EMO through three games, scoring four goals on four man-up opportunities, while holding the Wolverines scoreless on three extra-man chances. Air Force also outshot Michigan, 37-25, for the game, and won 14-of-25 face-offs. At the the end of the weekend, Smith, Dreyer and Gilbreath were announced as Air Force’s representatives on the DU Face-Off Classic all-tournament team. Meanwhile, Dreyer was tabbed the ECAC Rookie of the Week after scoring 10 points in two games. Next up for Air Force was its season home opener, as it hosted Quinnipiac on March 3 in a non-conference match-up. The Falcons posted a 5-1 advantage after one period before taking the 13-3 victory. Air Force was dominant offensively, 46 • 2013 AIR FORCE LACROSSE
outshooting Quinnipiac 38-12 for the game, including a 14-1 edge in the opening period. The Falcons also picked up 37 ground balls, compared to 16 for the Bobcats, and won 15-of-20 face-offs in the game. Smith, who scored two assists, led the way for the Falcons at the faceoff X, winning 8-of-11 draws, while sophomore Bryan Price was 6-of-8 on face-offs. Dreyer tallied a game-high five points, scoring two goals and a team-best three assists, while Crampton registered his third hat trick of the season. McKee and De Pol added two goals each, while Harrison notched a goal and two assists. Burgess and Cassady each added a goal and an assist, while freshman long-stick midfielder Kyle O’Brien scored the first goal of his career. In addition, sophomore Tom Harris and freshmen Nate Hruby, Richie Sapp and A.J. White all registered assists, as each of the Falcons’ 13 goals were assisted. Quinnipiac found success on the EMO, scoring on 2-of-3 man-up opportunities, while Air Force finished 1-for-2 on the EMO. Meanwhile, the Bobcats’ three goals were the fewest allowed by the Falcons since a 9-3 win over VMI in 2002. Air Force returned to another neutral site for its next game, as it traveled to Houston, Texas, on March 10 to take on service-academy rival Army at The Kinkaid School. In a thrilling match-up, the Falcons came away with a 9-8 win as Smith tallied the game-winner seven seconds into overtime. Smith, who finished the game with two goals and an assist, won the opening face-off of the overtime period and ran down the field for the winning goal. It marked the second Air Force goal in a span of 13 seconds, as McKee got on the board for the Falcons with just six seconds remaining in regulation to force the extra period. Army, which was receiving votes in the coaches’ poll, led for much of the game, taking a 2-0 lead to start the first quarter, and holding a 3-1 advantage before Air Force ended the opening period with a pair of scores. The Black Knights pushed their advantage back to two goals in the second period, but the first goal of the season from sophomore Michael Curran brought Air Force back within one point going into the intermission. Air Force outscored Army, 2-1, in the third period to bring the score to 6-6 going into the final stanza. De Pol gave the Falcons their first advantage of the contest midway through the fourth quarter with a man-up goal assisted by McKee, but the Black Knights scored the next two tallies to take an 8-7 lead with just over two minutes remaining. While Army won the face-off after its eighth goal of the game, Air Force was able to pressure the Black Knights into a turnover, taking over possession with just over a minute to play. A shot by the Falcons in the final 10 seconds was stopped by Army goalkeeper Zach Palmieri, but McKee was able to scoop up the loose ball and get it into the net. Air Force, which had been stellar on the EMO all season, struggled with their man-up offense against Army, scoring on just 2-of-8 man-up opportunities. The Falcons were also outshot by the Black Knights and won just 7-of-19 face-offs in the game. However, junior goalkeeper Austin Fox had a solid performance between the pipes, stopping a then-career-high 13 shots. Dreyer scored two goals and an assist for the Falcons, while De Pol (2g) and Crampton (1g, 1a) added two points each. The Falcons’ win over the Black Knights was just the second-ever in the series and the second in a row. In the last meeting between the two teams, Air Force escaped with an 8-7 overtime win over Army in Colorado. Prior to that game in 2010, the Black Knights had won all 16 previous Air Force-Army match-ups. For his performance against Army, O’Brien was tabbed the ECAC Co-Rookie of the Week. O’Brien registered six ground balls against the Black Knights and was credited with two caused turnovers, including the turnover which gave the Falcons possession at the end of regulation, leading to McKee’s tying score. After their thrilling victory over Army, the Falcons had a significant challenge
2012 SEASON REVIEW ahead, as they visited fifth-ranked Loyola for their ECAC opener on March 17. Air Force got out to a strong start, leading 3-2 after one period and taking a 7-4 advantage into the intermission after closing out the second quarter on a 4-0 run. However, the Greyhounds, who eventually went on to claim their first national title, outscored the Falcons 11-1 in the second half to earn the 15-8 victory. Crampton led Air Force’s offense with three goals and an assist, while Dreyer added a goal and three assists. Also scoring for the Falcons were Curran with two goals, McKee with two assists and De Pol and Cassady with a goal each. Meanwhile, Fox registered a career-high 15 saves in the loss. The next week, Air Force was back in action against another ranked conference opponent, hosting eighth-ranked Denver on March 24. A second-period scoring flurry by the visiting Pioneers proved to be the difference as the Falcons dropped an 11-8 decision. The Pioneers broke a 3-3 tie midway through the second period by tallying three goals in less than 30 seconds and went into the locker room with an 8-4 advantage. Smith led the Falcons with two goals and an assist, while Paranka added a season-high two scores. Also scoring for Air Force were McKee, Cassady, Crampton and Harrison with one goal each, while Dreyer tallied two assists. Stats across the board were fairly even between the two teams throughout the game, with Air Force holding a slight edge on face-offs, winning 13-of-24 draws. Price led the Falcons at the X, winning 11-of-19 face-offs. In addition, the Falcons’ man-down unit was stellar, holding the Pioneers scoreless on four extra-man opportunities. Air Force was back on the road for its next game, heading to Florida for spring break as it visited Jacksonville on March 27. Led by a career-high four goals from Dreyer, the Falcons picked up an 11-8 victory over the host Dolphins. McKee registered his second hat trick of the season, while O’Brien added a game-high two assists. Crampton gave Air Force its first lead of the game with a goal just over a minute into the second quarter, while McKee and Dreyer added back-to-back scores, both assisted by O’Brien, in less than 30 seconds, to push the Falcons’ advantage to 5-2. However, Jacksonville scored the last two goals of the period to go into the locker room trailing by just one goal. After the break, the Dolphins tied the score once more with a tally at the 10:39 mark in the third quarter, but McKee put Air Force back on top with another quick goal. Midway through the period, Dreyer registered a pair of goals just six seconds apart, while the Falcons added two more scores in the last 40 seconds of the quarter to take a 10-5 advantage. While Jacksonville outscored Air Force 3-1 in the fourth period, including a pair of goals in the final minute of action, it was not enough to overcome the Falcons’ third-quarter scoring flurry. Air Force performed well at the face-off X, winning 14-of-22, including 13-of20 by Price, who picked up a career-high 11 ground balls. O’Brien picked up six ground balls and caused three turnovers, while Fox had a solid performance between the pipes, with 11 saves and seven goals against.
Back-up senior goalkeeper Matt Sanders had a solid performance for the Falcons, stopping six shots in 30 minutes of action, while allowing just two scores. Following his performances against Jacksonville and Mercer, Dreyer earned his second ECAC weekly honor of the season, this time being named the Offensive Player of the Week. The Falcons were back at home on April 8, as they hosted Bellarmine in an ECAC match-up. Aided by a career-best seven points from McKee, Air Force earned a 12-8 victory over the Knights. McKee scored five goals and two assists, while Dreyer added a goal and a game-high three assists. In addition, O’Brien notched a career-best three points on one goal and two assists. While Bellarmine opened the game with a 2-0 advantage, the Falcons put together a 5-0 run in the second period to take a 6-2 advantage at the break. The Knights were unable to get closer than three goals the rest of the way and McKee notched his fifth goal of the game with nine seconds on the clock to secure the Falcons’ four-point victory. Air Force held the advantage on face-offs, led by Price, who won 14-of-22 at the X. Meanwhile, Bellarmine was 3-of-5 on the EMO, while holding the Falcons scoreless on three extra-man attempts. For the second straight week, an Air Force player was tabbed the ECAC Offensive Player of the Week, as McKee shared the honor with Ohio State’s Dominique Alexander. The Falcons closed out their home schedule on April 14, as they hosted 17thranked Fairfield in ECAC action. While Air Force outshot the Stags, 45-27, for the game, Fairfield fought off a late rally by the Falcons to take the 12-10 victory. Air Force overcame an 11-7 deficit by scoring three goals in the final five minutes of the contest, including a score from McKee with 1:56 remaining that cut the margin to a single point. However, the Stags were able to push their lead back to two goals with an empty-net goal with 48 seconds left on the clock. Fairfield led 5-1 in the opening period, before the Falcons closed out the quarter with two straight scores, including a goal from Dreyer with just seven seconds on the clock. The Falcons continued their momentum early in the second stanza, getting on the board 30 seconds into the period with a goal from Crampton to get within a single point. However, Fairfield goalkeeper Charlie Cipriano came up with several big stops to keep Air Force out of the net for the remainder of the period, while the Stags tacked on three more goals to take an 8-4 lead at the half. In the third period, Air Force got back within two goals with scores from Paranka and O’Brien, but a man-up goal from the Stags pushed the margin back to three. Fairfield went on to score two of the first three goals of the final stanza to earn its 11-7 lead with 11:36 to play. Air Force was hurt by its inability to score on the EMO, going 0-of-5 on man-up opportunities. In addition, Fairfield got outstanding play between the pipes from goalkeeper Charlie Cipriano, who was credited with 16 saves, including six in the fourth quarter. The Stags also held a slight advantage at the face-off X, winning 14-of-26 for the game, including 6-of-8 in the final period.
The Falcons returned home for another non-conference contest on March 31, playing host to Mercer. Air Force dominated throughout, registering its highest scoring output since 1997 in a 20-4 rout of the Bears. Dreyer led the Falcons’ offense with six points (3g, 3a), as 12 different Air Force players found the back of the net. Crampton registered a game-high four goals, while Burgess tallied the first hat trick of his career. Air Force, who led 8-2 after one period, outscored Mercer 7-0 in the second quarter and added three more goals in the third quarter before the Bears ended their scoring drought with a goal at the 2:17 mark in the period. Another Air Force score to end the period and the first career goal for junior Conor Hogan in the fourth period gave the Falcons their largest advantage of the game at 20-3, while the Bears tallied the final score of the contest. While Mercer had the edge on face-offs, winning 16-of-28 for the game, the Bears struggled with turnovers, committing 23, including 10 failed clears. Air Force also outshot Mercer, 41-23, for the game, including a 28-7 edge in the opening half.

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 studentathletes 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 One of the top-ranked conferences in Division I men’s lacrosse, the ECAC Lacrosse League began competition in 2000 and enjoyed immediate success. In the league’s 13-year history, members have earned 24 NCAA tournament berths. A league team has advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals in nine of the last 13 years, capped off by Loyola’s national championship run in 2012. In 2011, Denver advanced to the national semifinals, the first time that an ECAC school had advanced past the first round since 2007. 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. The league champion is 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 eight teams, including Michigan, which became an affiliate member of the ECAC in 2012 and becomes a full member in 2013.

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.”

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.

HOLADAY ATHLETIC CENTER The Holaday Athletic Center, Air Force’s newest athletic facility was completed in July 2011. The 92,000 square-foot center houses 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.

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. 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.
NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law.

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. 2013 AIR FORCE LACROSSE • 69

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
DR. HANS J. MUEH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS | NINTH YEAR 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 (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 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 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 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 department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities.
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.
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.
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
Dr. Hans Mueh enters his ninth season as the Academy’s Director of Athletics.
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.

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 nationally ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commanderin-Chief’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, was completed in July 2011.
