Paul

Holocher

Head Coach • Seventh Season • Santa Clara, 1990 51-44-22 {Cal Poly, Six Seasons} • 160-68-29 {Overall, 13 Seasons}

n seven years as Cal Poly men’s soccer head coach, Paul Holocher has transformed the Mustangs into a nationally recognized and prominent program. During his 13 overall seasons as a head coach, Holocher has compiled a 160-68-29 record and led his programs to six total NCAA Tournament appearances. Included in that run is an NCAA Division III Tournament championship game showing with UC Santa Cruz in 2004 and an NCAA Division I Tournament appearance with Cal Poly during the 2008 season – the Mustang program’s first postseason showing in 13 years. During five seasons inside Alex G. Spanos Stadium, Holocher has directed Cal Poly to a 29-10-8 home record and helped create one of the most loyal and passionate fan bases in the country. Under Holocher’s leadership, Cal Poly has finished among the top-10 Division I attendance leaders during each of the previous five years. During the 2011 season alone, the Mustangs ranked eighth nationally with 2,139 per home match. “One of my main goals when I came to Cal Poly was to create an exciting and fun atmosphere for our community and youth to come and enjoy great college soccer,” Holocher said. “I feel we have some of the best college soccer fans in the country, both within our student body and the community, and the fan base is growing in passion each year. There are a lot of

I

young families and more than 7,000 youth players on the central coast. We want each and every one of those young fans and families to know about Cal Poly soccer and for us to become a positive experience in their growth in the game.” Several of the highestattended matches in NCAA history have occurred under Holocher at Spanos Stadium, including two nationally-televised broadcasts on Fox Soccer Channel versus Big West rival UC Santa Barbara. The series versus UC Santa Barbara, which includes two sellouts of more than 11,000 fans, has become the best attended and most hotly-contested rivalry in college soccer. Nine of the top 23 best-attended games in NCAA regular season history include matches featuring Cal Poly and each of those contests has occurred since Holocher took over the Mustang reigns in 2006. As an attacking midfielder in college, Holocher helped Santa Clara to a 1989 NCAA championship and 20-0-3 record under Steve Sampson and Mitch Murray. Holocher ended his career with selection to the NSCAA All-America team and was a recipient of the Vincent Corsiglia academic award for high-achieving student-athletes at Santa Clara. His 28 collegiate goals and 32 assists remain the second-highest marks in Santa Clara history. He was inducted into the Santa Clara Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005 along with other Bronco soccer alumni Eric Yamamoto and Brandi Chastain. Following his time at Santa Clara, Holocher helped the San Francisco Blackhawks to the 1991 American Professional

Soccer League title before signing with Admira Wacker of the Austrian Bundesliga. At 26, Holocher was the 43rd overall pick during the inaugural Major League Soccer Draft by San Jose Clash. Holocher, who also played for Chicago Fire, retired in 1999 to take his first head coaching position at UC Santa Cruz. Holocher quickly transformed UC Santa Cruz into a national power, compiling a 109-24-7 record in seven years and putting the program one victory away from the 2004 national championship. Four players from his UC Santa Cruz program went on to play in MLS and several are now coaching in college soccer programs along the west coast, including San Francisco (Dan Chamberlain), UC Santa Diego (Eric Bucherre) and UC Santa Cruz (David Frank). Holocher’s penchant for developing players continued at Cal Poly with former Mustang captain Anton Peterlin signing for Everton Football Club of the English Premier League in 2008. Most recently, Efrain

Burgos became the first Mustang taken in the Major League Soccer SuperDraft when picked 44th overall by Toronto FC in 2011 while goalkeeper Patrick McLain signed with Chivas USA in 2012. “We look for young men that want to be professionals in the sport and who are ambitious. We know that our goal of player development is always a high priority,” Holocher added. “We want to develop players that have a professional approach to how they play and live. Strong character, coachability and work ethic are keys to development and we look for young men that are ready to improve, compete and grow in the game each day.” Cal Poly players have not only excelled on the field under Holocher’s guidance, but in the classroom, as well. During the past six years, two Mustangs – K.J. Lenehan (2007) and Wes Feighner (2010) – have earned Big West Scholar-Athlete praise while the program has enjoyed a further 15 selections to the Big West All-Academic team. Cal Poly’s team

Academic Progress Report rating, a barometer of academic success and graduation rates, has risen drastically since Holocher’s arrival. Holocher is the founder and director of Catalyst Soccer, a not-for-profit youth player development program for children ages 6-12. The club, which was founded in 1999 in Santa Cruz County, has an impact in youth player development and youth coaching development throughout the south bay, Monterey County and central coast. Holocher has also been involved with the Olympic Development Program Region IV team as head coach for the 1996 and 1997 boy’s squads where he helped identify, develop and promote several players to youth United States National Teams. Holocher lives in San Luis Obispo with his wife, Juliet, their two sons, Lukas and Max, and their two dogs, Hobbes and Pele. In his free time, he enjoys exploring the outdoors of the central coast with his family, hiking nearby Bishop’s Peak, biking and going to local beaches.

BRIAN

REED

Assistant Coach • Sixth Season • Cal Poly, 2010

elping to construct one of the top defensive units in collegiate soccer during his time on California’s central coast, Mustang assistant coach Brian Reed returns for his sixth season on Paul Holocher’s managerial staff in 2012. A former standout defender with the Mustangs (1999-03), Reed has helped oversee a stifling defense that has posted a 0.95 goals against average during his five seasons on the touchline. That combined figure includes Cal Poly’s recordsmashing 2011 season during which the Mustangs established program bests for fewest goals conceded (17, in 18 games) and fewest goals allowed per game (0.94) and led the Big West with a 0.90 team goals against average. During Reed’s five years, the Mustangs have allowed just 0.91 goals per game (97 in 107 matches).

H

Charged with overall player recruitment, training and development, Reed was a three-year starter, two-year captain and a 2003 All-Big West Conference first team selection during his playing career with Cal Poly. Reed’s first coaching foray at Cal Poly culminated during the 2008 campaign as the Mustangs posted their highest finish in the Big West standings (second), qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 13 years and produced the first postseason victory at the Division I level – a 1-0 victory at UCLA. The Mustangs finished their finest season ranked No. 23 in the final NSCAA/adidas Top 25 poll. Recruited and constructed in part by Reed, Cal Poly’s 2008 backline set a program record by allowing just 0.94 goals per game. Eric Branagan-Franco – who recorded nine clean sheets for the second-straight year and retired with eight Cal Poly career records, including save percentage (.805) and shutouts (25) – became the first Mustang to earn Big West Goalkeeper of the Year honors while center back Patrick

Sigler was named Co-Big West Conference Freshman of the Year. Both players earned NSCAA All-Far West Region praise while Sigler was invited to train with the United States U-20 Men’s National Team. The 2007 Mustangs allowed just 1.05 goals per game en route to setting program records for total Big West points (22), conference victories (six), fewest overall losses (four) and fewest conference losses (two) and matching the mark for overall victories (11). Led by K.J. Lenehan’s first team selection, three Mustang defensive players garnered All-

Big West praise. Reed’s influence upon Cal Poly’s backline was felt immediately. A year after the program leaked 39 goals in 20 matches, the 2006 Mustangs yielded just 20 in 19 games. With the defense tightened, Cal Poly posted a fourth-place finish in the Big West table – a distinction that, at the time, matched the program’s best showing in the conference standings. Having helped Cal Poly compile the four lowest goalsagainst averages in program history, Reed-coached Cal Poly sides have also produced

40 clean sheets. During Reed’s watch, Mustang defenders have earned a total of 12 All-Big West honors. Prior to departing the program for the 2009 season, Reed helped produce a recruiting class that was ranked No. 33 among Division I programs by College Soccer News. Reed spent the 2009-10 term working under former United States Men’s National Team head coach and 2005 Major League Soccer Cupwinning manager Steve Sampson with the GSI Soccer Academy in Agoura Hills, Calif.

BERNARDO

SILVA

Assistant Coach • First Season • UC Santa Barbara, 2011

ernardo Silva will enjoy his first season as a member of Paul Holocher’s staff during the 2012 campaign. Silva’s concentration with the Mustangs will focus on the areas of technical and physical development. After relocating from Portugal to the United States at 18, Silva graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2011 with a degree in

B

psychology and a double minor in sports management and fitness instruction. While completing his degree at UC Santa Barbara, Silva worked as a regional scout for Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls, acquiring expertise in identifying, selecting and recommending collegiate players for the organization. Owner of a United States Soccer Federation National C coaching license, Silva has also studied sport and exercise psychology at England’s Loughborough University. While in Great Britain, Silva completed a

week-long internship with famed Scottish club Hearts F.C., where he observed training sessions, staff col-

laboration meetings and studied manager-player dynamics in order to sharpen analytical skills.

Additionally, Silva holds a personal training certificate from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Anthony

Goalkeeper Trainer First Season Cal State East Bay, 2012

Director of Operations Second Season Cal Poly, 2009

ris Hall is in his first season as a volunteer assistant and goalkeepers trainer with the Cal Poly men’s soccer program. “Kris came highly recommended and after watching him work, it was clear that he’s a young coach with much potential,” seventh-year Cal Poly head coach Paul Holocher said. “Kris is very mature and professional in his approach. The training he does on both the technical and tactical elements of the position and how it integrates into our style of play are a real asset to the program. We’re all excited that he has the opportunity to work with our terrific group of goalkeepers on a daily basis.” Hall, 25, arrived at Cal Poly after serving as an assistant and goalkeepers coach at Division II Cal State East Bay last season. Hall spent the 2009 season as a volunteer assistant with the Pacific women’s program. Under Hall, the Tigers goalkeeping corps finished third among Big West programs in goals allowed per game (0.89) and goals against average (0.85). A native of Stockton, Calif., Hall also served as the freshman boy’s head coach at Foothill HS (Pleasanton, Calif.) between 2008-11 and as the goalkeepers trainer for the St. Mary’s HS girl’s program (Stockton, Calif.) from 2006-09. At club level, Hall spent the summer of 2008 as the goalkeepers trainer for the Olympic Development Program ‘95 side. Since 2005, Hall has served as the Director of Goalkeeping and as a team coach for six different youth squads associated with Pleasanton Ballistic United Soccer Club. A three-year varsity letterwinner at St. Mary’s HS (2002-04), Hall kept goal collegiately for Modesto Junior College (2005-06) and Cal State East Bay (2007-08). At club level, Hall rose as high as the U-20 Diablo Valley Soccer Club (2006-07) of the United Soccer Leagues and Sacramento Knights (200708) of the Professional Developmental League.

four-year letterwinner for Cal Poly (200508), former midfielder Anthony Grillo is in his first season as the Mustang program’s director of operations. In his current capacity, Grillo organizes the program’s alumni relations endeavors and events and oversees Cal Poly’s community outreach programs, such as student of the game presentations at central coast elementary schools and free coaching clinics for local AYSO coaches. Grillo, who made 46 appearances during his four-year Mustang career, notched just one goal during his collegiate career, but his 49th-minute tally against nationally-ranked UC Santa Barbara on Oct. 17, 2007 ranks as, arguably, the most-prominent strike in Cal Poly program history. In front of 7,143 spectators at Alex G. Spanos Stadium – at the time, the ninth-largest regular season attendance figure in NCAA history – Grillo converted a tap-and-go feed from forward Tim White to break a 1-1 halftime deadlock and snap Cal Poly’s then-12-match, seven-year winless drought versus UC Santa Barbara. A native of Sun Valley, Nev., Grillo made a career-high 15 appearances for the Mustangs during the 2007 season. He majored in horticulture at Cal Poly.

Goals conceded by Cal Poly, the fewest number scored against the Mustangs in program history.

Matches, of a possible 18, started by center back Connor Drechsler. Cal Poly’s junior to-be has started all 36 games the Mustangs have contested during his career.

Final number of starts by center back Patrick Sigler, a total that established a new Cal Poly career record. One of only two four-time All-Big West selections in program history, Sigler’s final start came during a nationally-televised matchup at UC Santa Barbara. Average per-match attendance figure at Alex G. Spanos Stadium, a number that ranked eighth among NCAA Division I programs.

Sellout attendance figure at Alex G. Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s 2-1, come-from-behind triumph against rival UC Santa Barbara (Oct. 14). The attendance total matched the ninth-largest regular season crowd figure in NCAA regular season history.

This is Mustang Men’s Soccer Central Coast Support By any measure or metric, the Cal Poly men’s soccer team’s support at Alex G. Spanos Stadium is nearly unrivaled in the college game. Six of the top 23 bestattended regular season matches in the history of NCAA soccer have occurred at Spanos Stadium. Entering the 2012 campaign, the Mustangs have produced a 29-10-8 overall mark at the complex and a 16-5-5 record against Big West Conference opponents. Additionally, the Mustangs have recorded 19 shutout victories at home while Cal Poly’s goalkeepers have kept 22 clean sheets. Cal Poly has twice sold all 11,075 seats at Spanos Stadium for matches against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara in 2008 and 2011, a pair of contests that tie for No. 9 on the list of the best-attended regular season matches in NCAA history.

Mustang supporters rush the Alex G. Spanos Stadium field following Cal Poly’s 2-1 victory against rival UC Santa Barbara in 2010.

Mustangs in the Pros The Cal Poly men’s program’s list of professional alumni grew lengthier during the past offseason with two former Mustangs signing contracts with Major League Soccer clubs. Goalkeeper Patrick McLain (2007-11) inked a free agent deal with Chivas USA while midfielder Junior Burgos (2009-10) hooked on with Toronto FC (Burgos also became the first Mustang to be taken in the MLS SuperDraft when selected 44th by Toronto in 2011). Left back Wes Feighner (2008-11) was drafted by Seattle Sounders FC in the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft, but was not signed by the club. The only Big West Conference player to have ever appeared in an English Football League match, midfielder Anton Peterlin (2006-08) signed with Everton FC of the Barclays Premier League in 2009. After appearing in eight reserve team matches with Everton, Peterlin spent the 2010-11 season with League One’s Plymouth Argyle FC (left, green top) and the 2011-12 campaign with fellow League One foe Walsall FC. Brothers Mario (2006-08) and Carlos Fernandez (2007-08) have enjoyed careers with fifth-tier Spanish outfit Santa Pola CF.

Major LEague Soccer Showcases Continuing with the 2012 Major League Soccer Central Coast Showcase contested between San Jose Earthquakes and Colorado Rapids, the Cal Poly men’s program has hosted four separate MLS exhibition series at Alex G. Spanos Stadium during the past five years. In 2008, San Jose, D.C. United and Columbus Crew made appearances on the central coast. In 2009, Seattle Sounders FC contested its first official match in club history against San Jose at Spanos Stadium. San Jose and Colorado also tuned up for the 2011 season with a friendly at Spanos Stadium.
