Fresh off a historic 2011 campaign, the Vulcans will feature a new look this season. First-year head coach Gene Smith, who was an assistant with the program the last two years, returns only three starters from last year’s PSAC Championship team that registered the first undefeated regular season in program history. Entering spring practice, scoring offense appeared to be the strength of the team with NSCAA First-Team All-American Carley Work and PSAC Freshman of the Year Chelsea Crockett both returning. However, Work suffered a season-ending injury and will miss the entire 2012 season after tying the single-season school record and leading the PSAC with 19 goals last year. Crockett ranked among the league leaders as a freshman with 23 points and seven assists despite starting just seven games. Crockett will likely be joined in the starting midfield this season by sophomore Megan Politowski and junior Stephanie Thompson. A captain on this year’s team, Thompson enters her first season as a starter after playing 15 games in career and Politowski gained significant experience last season by appearing in 16 games as a true freshman. Sophomore Haley Henderson will also provide experience depth to the midfield, as she also played 16 games last year. Sophomores Jordan Gray and Erin Hogan, along with junior Kelsey Russo, open training camp as the projected starters at forward. Hogan was an AllPSAC selection last year after leading the league and ranking among the national leaders with 12 assists. A veteran player, Russo has scored nine goals while primarily playing as a reserve in 48 career games. Gray tallied five points while playing on a limited basis last season. The forward position features quality depth in sophomores Taylor Scurci and Bethany Smyda, the 2010 PSAC Freshman of the Year. Smyda registered

GK Paula Jackson (6-0, Sr.) 43 points, including a league-leading 11 assists, as a freshman before missing all of last season due to injury. Scurci gained valuable experience last year, playing in 16 games as a true freshman. The Vulcans return only one of four starters on defense that helped limit opponents to just 10 goals during the season. The departed trio of Kelsey Fisher, NSCAA Third-Team All-American Kayla Klimasko and Capital One Academic All-American Kristen Orrett combined to start 236 games over the last four years. Senior Kayla Fransko will anchor the back line after starting 22 games last year. She has registered 37 points in her career, including 11 points on two goals and seven assists last season. Fransko looks to be joined on defense by sophomore Nicole Mayers, redshirt freshmen Danielle Macleary and freshman Taylor Piovesan. Mayers appeared in eight games primarily as a reserve last season and Macleary redshirted in 2011 after being an all-state selection in Delaware. In addition to three new starters on defense, Cal U will feature a new goalie this season following the graduation of three-year starter Paula Jackson. An NSCAA Third-Team All-American in 2011, she shattered the single-season and all-time school records for wins, shutouts, goals-against average and minutes. Sophomore Ashley Magruda will garner the starting role after an impressive spring practice. She played in five games last year, highlighted by a shutout in her first career start. Junior Ashley Smyda and redshirt freshman Kristin Baierbach provide depth to the position.

After serving as an assistant coach with the program the previous two years, Gene Smith enters his first season as head coach at Cal U in 2012. While on staff, the Vulcans have compiled an impressive 38-2-6 overall record (.891) and a dominating 24-1-3 mark (.911) in conference play. Cal U also earned berths to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons after previously reaching the post-season only once prior to 2010. Last season, Cal U established the school record with 20 wins behind the program’s first-ever undefeated regular season. The Vulcans also captured the first league championship in program history and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, losing on the road to the eventual-National Champions. In 2011, Cal U led the PSAC and ranked among the top 10 in the country in both goals and goalsagainst average (GAA). Smith helped coach a trio of NSCAA All-Americans and a pair of Academic All-Americans last season. In 2010, Smith helped coach the Vulcans to an 18-1-4 record with a second-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. That year, Cal U also advanced to the title game of the PSAC Tournament for the first time in program history. The Vulcans featured the highest scoring offense in the league behind the play of PSAC Freshman of the Year Bethany Smyda.

Smith previously served five seasons as the head women’s soccer coach at Plymouth State, an NCAA Division III program in Plymouth, N.H. While with the Panthers, he guided the program to 30-46-10 overall record (.407) with four-straight appearances in the Little East Conference Tournament (2005-08). In his second year at Plymouth State, Smith guided the program to a three-win improvement before finishing with an 8-9 record in 2007. During his tenure, he coached two-time, all-conference forward Lauren Lavery, who finished her career among the Panthers’ all-time leaders in goals, assists and points. A native of Connecticut, Smith finished his playing career as a two-year starter at NCAA Division III Norwich (Vt.) after originally playing at Xavier. He has also competed and coached for several premier teams in his home state. Smith also enjoyed success in semiprofessional and professional settings with various teams in the United Soccer League (USL) and abroad. In addition to his collegiate experience, he served as the Director of Coaching

for the New Hampshire Classics and was the head coach of the under-17 Olympic Development Program (ODP) team. Under Smith’s direction, the team advanced to the regional finals in back-to-back seasons – a first for New Hampshire Soccer. He also served with the US Youth Soccer ODP in Connecticut and Vermont. Smith currently holds a “B” license from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). He earned his undergraduate degree from Norwich in 1998 before completing a master’s degree from Northeastern (Mass.) in 2009.

LAUREL O’NEAL ASSISTANT COACH First Year at Cal U oneal@calu.edu A former four-year starter at NCAA Division III Emory (Ga.), Laurel O’Neal enters her first year as a coach with the Cal U women’s soccer program in 2012. O’Neal played with the Eagles from 2003-06, starting 71 games and tallying eight points on one goal and six assists in her career. She was named a team captain and earned All-University Athletic Association (UAA) First-Team honors as a senior. O’Neal earned All-UAA honorable mention in 2003 and 2004 and helped Emory post a combined 4922-4 overall record (.680) during her career. While with the program, the Eagles made NCAA Tournament appearances in both 2004 and 2005.

A native of Chapel Hill, N.C., O’Neal holds a “C” license from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and a national certification from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). She has coached with current Cal U head coach Gene Smith at the club level with the Beadling Soccer Club. O’Neal has also coached youth soccer in West Virginia and Georgia.

SEASON REVIEW The Vulcans rewrote the record books in 2011, setting the school record for wins, posting the first undefeated regular season in school history, winning the program’s first conference title and advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.

The Vulcans finished the year ranked No. 6 in the final NSCAA Top 25 poll after reaching as high as No. 2 twice during the regular season. Touting the second-highest scoring offense in NCAA Division II, the Vulcan offense was led by the tandem of the junior Carley Work and senior Breeanna Robinson. Work and Robinson each tallied 44 points behind 19 goals, with both marks equaling the single-season school record. In her only year with the program, Robinson finished second in the nation with eight game-winning goals.

2012 CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOCCER GUIDE

HISTORY With the growth of soccer in the United States during the 1980s, California University of Pennsylvania saw the opportunity to enter the women’s college soccer game early on in its development, while conforming to Title IX genderequity regulation. Due to the relative infancy and lack of quality women’s soccer programs across the country, the Vulcans were able to attract several top players and put together quality seasons early on, despite relatively little amount of support from the general university population. The first season that Cal U fielded a women’s soccer team was 1990 and the first head coach was Rob Kettle, who was also in his first season as the men’s soccer head coach. That season, the Vulcans posted a 7-8-1 record as Kristie Strunk collected a then-school record 18 goals. The next season, the man who was instrumental in the founding of both soccer programs at Cal U, Dennis Laskey, returned to the university to take over both soccer teams. In 1992, Cal U registered its first winning season with a 12-5-1 record and 2-1-0 mark in league play. In 1993, the team finished 10-10 and had the first allregion player in program history as freshman Teresa Ribar earned second-team honors after compiling 37 points on 15 goals and seven assists. The 1994 campaign marked one of the most successful in school history, finishing 12-5-1 and out-scoring their opponents 57-21 during the first year that the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) sponsored women’s soccer. That season, the Vulcans placed two players on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-America teams and set several single-season individual records that remain today. Cal U Hall of Famer and second-team all-region player Sherry Valera led the team in scoring that season with school records of 19 goals and 44 points, which still rank as the top figures in program history. Two players registered another school record that season, as Caroline Acome and Kim Kottmeier each posted 14 assists.

PSAC

Originating in 1951 to administer and promote men’s athletics, the Pennsylvania

State Athletic Conference has evolved into one of the NCAA’s most heralded intercollegiate conferences. The first major step came in 1977, when based on a growing interest, the league reorganized to provide a structure for its women’s programs. Only three years later, lacking a standard competitive division, league voted to reclassify the entire conference to NCAA Division II. Among its recent enhancements the PSAC has expanded its membership twice during a four-year span. The first occurred during the 2008-09 academic year with the addition of full-time members Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, and associate member Long Island UniversityC.W. Post. Over the past year, the PSAC’s Board of Directors agreed to welcome Seton Hill University as an associate member to begin play in field hockey during the 2011-12 campaign. The membership now consists of 16 full-time institutions and the two associate members. All of the league’s full-time members are located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which makes the PSAC the largest one-state conference in the NCAA. The league has also grown to share the distinctions as: The largest conference in Division II, the largest football-playing conference in the NCAA, and, with 23, the conference that sponsors the most championships at the Division II level. Highly competitive on a regional and national level, PSAC schools annually combine to send nearly one-third of its teams into

NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 43 NCAA team and 246 individual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplishments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s finest from an academic standpoint. Today, nearly one-third of the PSAC’s estimated 6,300 participants are honored each year as “Scholar-Athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC Scholar-Athletes were first recognized in the mid1990s. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, seven league schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 127,000 students and claim over 710,000 alumni, including 483,000 who reside in Pennsylvania. The PSAC is governed by the presidents of the 16 member institutions. It employs a commissioner, an associate and assistant commissioner, and a director of media relations at its headquarters in Lock Haven, Pa.
