Why ‘Vandals’?

Don’t use your dictionary to find Idaho’s definition of a Vandal. Idaho’s studentathletes earned the nickname nearly a century ago by a basketball team coached

by Idaho legend Hec Edmundson, whose teams played with such ferocity that area sports writers said they “vandalized” their opponents.

In 1917, Harry Lloyd “Jazz” McCarty - a writer for the Argonaut, the student newspaper, wrote in a pre-game story, “The opening game with Whitman will mark a new epoch in Idaho basketball history, for the present gang of ‘Vandals’ have the best material that has ever carried the ‘I’ into action.”

By 1921, McCarty and Edward Maslin Hulme, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, succeeded in their push to have the name officially adopted as the nickname for all Idaho teams.

Vandal Soccer 2009 Season Preview

After a large graduating class and some injury losses, the 2009 Idaho women’s soccer team takes on a much different look with 13 new faces joining the Vandals this fall.

“We’re going to be very, very young, but it’s a chance for our returners to advance the team,” Idaho head coach Pete Showler said. “I’m not nervous at all – I’m excited.

It’s the first time that I’ve had the team be all girls who I’ve recruited, and that should be a measure of where this program starts to go.”

With more than half the team being newcomers, it’s safe to say there will be some very new faces around the pitch for Idaho in 2009. Showler says that he expects a very healthy competition at every position on the field, and he expects competition to last from the opening day of camp to the final week of the season.

Offensive woes limited the Vandals in 2008, as the team managed just nine goals on the season. Idaho ranked last in the Western Athletic Conference in goals, assists, corner kicks and points, and sixth in shots last season, so Showler has identified scoring as the top priority for the Vandals this year.

“We haven’t scored enough goals in the last three seasons,” Showler said. “I’m very excited about the 2009 group coming in. We have some good attacking mids and we have goal-scoring forwards.”

During the 2008 season, Showler said he wanted a more “clinical” mindset from the team in front of the goal, as it seemed like shot after shot sailed just off the mark or bounced off a post. He said that he likes an aggressive mindset in the box, but it’s also important to take more quality shots.

Defensively, Idaho’s 1.62 goals allowed average in 2008 was the lowest for the team since the 2000 season. Most of the team’s back line returns this year, so a similar result could be in the cards. A boost on the offensive side of the ball also could take some pressure off the Idaho defense, which led the WAC with 5.63 saves per game in 2008.

Another question for the Vandals coming into the season is leadership. With so many upperclassmen departing, including strong senior leadership, it is very important to see which players assume those roles on what will be a very young Idaho squad.

“I think there are some very good leaders in this group, and that comes from the sophomore class right through to the seniors,”

Showler said. “Each class has leaders within it, and I expect them to come on the field and lead by example by pushing everyone to be better every day and over the season.”

If the team adds some firepower to an already stingy defense, Showler and the Vandal women believe they can be strongly in the mix in conference play and have a shot to earn a spot in the WAC Tournament for the first time in team history, and after that point, anything can happen.

“We want to be in Boise at the end of the season for the WAC Tournament and we want to win that WAC championship,” Showler said.

Defenders: With four-year starter and team captain Kelsey Manning graduated and gone, there is a hole to fill in the middle of Idaho’s back line, but Showler believes the team’s newfound depth should make the Vandal defense just as strong, if not stronger than before.

“I think we actually have more depth than we’ve ever had, because we’ve been out recruiting those areas,” Showler said.

“Until we test them, we won’t know, but having four or five players who have experience in those areas is good to add to.”

Sophomores Danielle Hayward and Desirae Hull started 17 and 15 games, respectively, as outside backs last season and both will be factors on the back line once again in 2009.

Showler said he has been impressed with how senior Sari Morrison has emerged as a team leader, while junior Alison Page, who had her 2008 campaign cut short with illness and injury, spent all summer training in Moscow. Junior Jennifer Eugenio, who split her time last year on the back line and the front line, also could see some time on the defense.

In addition to the strong group of returners, Showler also expects Lydia Beyerlein, a transfer from Wisconsin-Green Bay, and freshmen Lauren Layton, Christine Leathem and Erica Hart to create a strong rotation on the back line.

“We’ve got some really good attacking backs coming in who can get up and down the line like a fiddler’s elbow,” Showler said. “We want the width to play in those areas and we want to utilize that width to get into the attack quickly.”

Midfielders: The midfield position was marred by inconsistency last season, mostly because of

Vandal Soccer

Forwards: One important area of improvement for Idaho in 2009 must be scoring. Junior Jenn Hull is the team’s active leader in goals, points and assists, but Showler said that he wants to see more consistency from Idaho’s top attacker. Joining Hull on the front line will be freshmen Chelsea Small and Kristi Wirtz, both of whom netted plenty of goals in their prep days, while Eugenio also will see time on the front.

“In terms of performance, we need some more consistency and with the incoming freshmen, that’s where there’s going to be a lot of support,” Showler said.

After scoring six goals as a true freshman in 2007, Hull had just two goals and two assists in 2008. Showler said that he would like to see her return to her freshman year form and the addition of a few more offensive-minded forwards and midfielders should help spread out the attack.

The increased depth at the forward position should help the Vandals get more opportunities in front of the net, while the addition of even more young forwards will help foster the aggres-

sive mindset in front of the net that Showler wants to see more of this season.

Goalkeepers: One position where Idaho is fairly secure is in front of the net.

Whether it’s senior Anna Sandman or sophomore Liz Boyden, keeper will be a strong position for the Vandals in 2009.

Sandman holds a handful of Idaho school records, including single-season shutouts and saves, while Boyden looked very impressive in starting 15 games last season.

“They’ll have a ‘Battle Royale’ as keepers–in good terms,” Showler said. “They’ll be pushing each other every day to get better.”

Freshman keeper Caroline Towles might not factor into the starting rotation in her first season, but Showler said he likes her athleticism and he expects her to improve greatly while competing against the team’s two veterans this year.

“I know she’ll learn from these other players, but she’ll also push them in practice,” Showler said. “She’ll develop very quickly working with the two quality keepers that we have.”

Another note about the goalkeepers will be how Boyden and Sandman respond after spending part of their offseason as members of the Idaho women’s basketball team. Basketball uses a different set of skills than soccer, but Showler said he thinks the conditioning definitely could help the two. More important, according to Showler, was they helped the Vandal women turn a team around and gained experience competing at a WAC Tournament, which he said they should be able to bring back and transfer to the soccer team this fall.

injuries and the resulting shifts in starting lineups. This season, Showler hopes healthy returners and a large group of incoming freshmen will fortify the midfield.

“Unfortunately, we struggled with injuries last year in the midfield, which is the engine of the team,” Showler said. “Through the midfield, we lost some players and didn’t have the same players week in and week out.”

Idaho’s most consistent midfielder last season, 18-game starter Ashley Perez, a lightning-quick senior outside mid, returns for her final campaign, while junior Melissa Canite, an aggressive center mid, hopes to put behind an ankle injury that limited her in 2008 and return to her freshman form, when she was voted Most Valuable Player by her teammates.

“I feel like we’ve added a different type of player to the midfield,” Showler said. “We’ve got some very good ball-playing midfielders, we’ve got some very good attacking midfielders and we’ve got some good width in the midfield with naturally leftfooted players.”

Freshmen Kristi Atkinson, Cassandra San, Amber Pimley, Jill Flockhart, Mackie Watt and Megan Lopez give Idaho a group of talented young players who will see playing time early and often. Showler said he likes the mix of players who represent the 2009 freshmen midfield class and believes they all can contribute immediately.

Vandal Soccer Moscow, 83843 More than 130 years after it was settled, Moscow is a small yet vibrant community with a penchant for the arts and the University of Idaho.

Moscow is the perfect example of the old adage: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Small though it may be, Moscow has plenty to offer.

Every year people come from around the world to take part in events such as the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival or the Renaissance Fair. So much so, the city was named one of the top 100 small art towns in America.

The city’s 22,000 residents are a bright and diverse group of people. The city offers many of the advantages of a big city while retaining its small town friendliness. Crime in Moscow is almost non-existent.

For entertainment, choices abound whether they be indoor or out.

Outdoor lovers might believe they’ve landed in paradise. Since Moscow is nestled between the rolling hills of the Palouse on one side and Moscow Mountain on the other, opportunities abound for outdoor entertainment. Camping, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing locales can all be found within a few short miles from town.

At 2,500 feet above sea level, Moscow has a mild climate despite it being located in the northern United States. Temperatures rarely drop below 24 degrees during the winter and the summer months won’t get much hotter than 87 degrees for a pleasant year-round climate.

Moscow is:

• One of the top 100 Small Arts Towns • Host of the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival • Largest of the 27 Moscows in the United States • A U.S. Small Arts Center • An Idaho “Gem Community”

State of Idaho When someone says “Idaho” what comes to mind? Potatoes? Or Napoleon Dynamite? There’s a lot more to Idaho.

Idaho was settled during the gold rush of the 1800s. Veins of silver and gold were found in the mountains of central Idaho and it wasn’t long before thousands of pioneers had settled all over the territory in an attempt to get rich. As the pioneers mined for gold, they happened upon a pleasant surprise. In addition to the silver and gold, Idaho was abundant in gems such as topaz and jade. Hence Idaho’s nickname: the Gem State.

Idaho is one of the most scenic states in the nation. It holds claim to numerous world famous sites. Here are just a few of the many wonders Idaho offers: • Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in the U.S. –

• The world famous Lava Hot Springs

8,000 feet deep at some points.

• The “Craters of the Moon” in south-central Idaho

• Shoshone Falls (36 feet taller than Niagara falls)

• Sun Valley Resort, where the movie stars play

• Soda Springs (largest man-made geyser)

• Coeur d’Alene, playground of the Pacific Northwest

• The Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho

• Bruneau Dunes, the largest sand dunes in North America

Tradition Starts Here

If you’re the sort who prefers more urban forms of entertainment Moscow offers a broad assortment of activities typical of a small town influenced largely by its resident university. Add to those, a variety of theatrical presentations and concerts on the Idaho campus, and just about every choice of entertainment can be found.

Geographically, Idaho is one of the most diverse in the country. From the rolling deserts of southern Idaho and the forested mountains of central Idaho to the rolling plains of the Palouse, this state has it all. If you’re into river rafting, Idaho has the Salmon River, nicknamed “The River of No Return.” If you like water sports, Idaho has more than 2,000 lakes with names, and many more without. One of the most famous is Pend Oreille, which is more than 1,100 feet deep in some parts. The Navy has tested some of its submarines at Lake Pend Oreille.

Idaho is an outdoorsman’s dream come true. The state offers thousands of miles of trails for backpackers. Hunting and fishing locales are abundant all over the state. Idaho is home to part of the famous Lewis and Clark Trail. You can learn first-hand how the expedition was saved from certain starvation by the Nez Pierce Indian tribe.

Idaho is the 13th largest state in the nation, but is sparsely populated with 1.3 million residents. The benefit of this is low crime rates and a healthy lifestyle.

Last but certainly not least, Idaho indeed does have great potatoes. In 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission was formed. The state-run agency’s responsibilities include researching and expanding the Idaho potato market.

Student-Athlete Services With the number one goal being prevention, University of Idaho athletic services provides not only equipment, strength and conditioning and preventative athletic training measures, but coordinates with sports nutritionists and sports psychologists for the overall well-being of Vandal studentathletes.

“We approach our jobs first from a prevention standpoint,” head athletic trainer Barrie Steele said. “But injuries do occur in athletics and when they do, we make sure our student-athletes receive the finest in immediate and follow-up care. When they return to competition, our goal is to have them in better condition than before the injury and with a reduced chance of re-injury.”

Making the job easier for the Steele and the Idaho Student-Athlete Services staff will be the total overhaul of the athletic training and equipment room areas over the summer of 2008. The locker rooms received a ‘facelift’ of new flooring and tiling, while two new individual team rooms, one new computer lab and one auditorium-style meeting room were also added. After the renovation, the equipment room nearly doubled in size. Totally new washer/dryer systems cut hours out of cleaning times, while a new ‘cubby’ equipment system greatly streamlines the equipment check-out process. The athletic training area was also expanded greatly, with new offices, larger work areas, and private exam rooms.

The purpose of the athletic training room and staff is for the prevention, care and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.

All student-athletes, regardless of sport affiliation, race or gender, have equal access to the training room and the services provided therein.

The University of Idaho’s commitment to its student-athletes can be seen in the continuing enhancement and growth of its athletic training, and strength and conditioning services – the most notable the Norman and Becky Iverson Strength and Conditioning Center. The $3.3 million center was dedicated on April 30, 2004.

“The Vandal Athletic Center is a huge bonus for our players,” Idaho soccer coach Pete Showler said. “The facility is second to none. That, combined with the experience of the Vandal Strength and Conditioning staff, gives us a great head start before we even step on the pitch. The players can work on improving stamina, power, flexibility, and core areas, as well as improving speed and agility; all key areas for our game.”

The floor-to-ceiling glass that fronts the building and extends down the sides provides a spacious view of UI’s main campus. Inside, the Center is equipped with a full complement of strength-training equipment.

As much as it has everything a student-athlete needs to remain in top condition, it has the best in rehabilitation equipment. Among the most notable is a hydrotherapy pool, which features a floor that can be raised and lowered depending on the need at the time.

The 8,000 square foot facility was opened for student-athlete use on March 19, 2004. It is approximately three times as large as the previous training facility and includes a 7,000 square foot first floor used for day-to-day strength and conditioning needs. It also includes a 1,000 square foot mezzanine level filled with cardiovascular equipment used for warm-up, conditioning and rehabilitation.

Vandal Soccer Sprinturf Practice Fields

The latest addition to Idaho’s practice facilities is the Sprinturf practice field on the east side of the ASUI Kibbie Dome. The field is split into two 75-yard sections with a 10-yard open area in between.

The $1.2 million project included lighting and fencing in addition to the infill artificial turf.

What it means to the Idaho intercollegiate, club and intramural sports programs, as well as student groups and Moscow residents, is that a grass field that previously had just 300 useable hours annually now has as many as 2,000 hours of use per year.

The two 75-yard sections are separated by a 10-yard section of Sprinturf. The 75-yard length was chosen because it will allow enough space for both the Vandal football team and women’s soccer team to hold full practices and it will be enough space for multiple intramural competitions, but it is also short enough that two fields will fit. There are football goal posts at the north and south ends and the corners are marked for soccer.

“The Sprinturf gives us a great facility to use when the weather turns,” Idaho soccer coach Pete Showler said. “It is a fantastic, true surface. It is the nearest thing to grass in terms of how ‘natural’ it is and in rebound resilience. The players are lucky to have such a tremendous facility available to them right on their doorstep.”

Infill artificial turf was first installed at the University of Nebraska in 1997. Sprinturf is the surface used by the Philadelphia Eagles in their practice facility.

Guy Wicks Field

The home of Vandal soccer, Guy Wicks Field is located north of the Kibbie Dome along scenic Paradise Path. The home field for Idaho’s women since the soccer program’s first season in 1998, it can hold up to 500 fans in an intimate game-day setting.

Vandal Soccer Camps The University of Idaho women’s soccer program has hosted summer soccer camps every year since its inception in 1998. The youth camps have helped the development of young players in the Washington and Idaho communities.

The Vandal staff is committed to providing a positive, educational soccer experience for all the players who attend.

Vandal Individual Camp The individual camp is designed to help players learn new skills and to help further develop the skills they already possess. The emphasis will be on creating a fun environment where players can learn new skills according to their own ability levels. Players will be instructed in the dribbling, passing, receiving and shooting.

Players are placed into age/ability appropriate groups to enhance their learning experience and each day of the camp concludes with a series of games in which players can showcase their skills.

Vandal High School Team Camp

The team camp has been a fixture since the summer of 2006. It is a residential team camp for high school and graduated eighth-grade players. Players from all around the area are invited, either with their team or as an individual.

The camp is designed to help players develop within a team setting. Each player will be trained in individual technical skills, as well as team-oriented tactical strategies. In the evenings, the teams will compete against other teams from around the area.

In addition to team training by the Idaho soccer staff, the Vandal

Strength and Conditioning coaches will supervise and instruct conditioning and weight training sessions.

Players will stay for three nights in the residence halls and receive three meals per day on the Idaho campus. There is also a non-residential option to allow players to commute to the camp. In this instance, the players will not stay overnight on campus, but will eat lunch with the rest of the campers.

Vandal Goalkeeping Camp The goalkeeping camp will be held for three hours each day. During the course of the camp, goalkeepers will be trained in ball-handling techniques, shot-stopping, breakaways and in handling crosses/high balls.

Vandal Soccer University President

Director of Athletics

Rob Spear assumed the lead of the University of Idaho athletic department during a crucial juncture in its storied history.

The Vandals were seeking solidification of their conference status and their facilities were in need of modernization. They needed a leader with vision and passion. Spear fit the bill.

First was securing a home in the Western Athletic Conference, a league that preserves historic rivalries and offers the benefits of a Division I association. Next was rebuilding the Vandals’ home. He was on hand to oversee the final stages of the construction of the Iverson Speed and Strength Center. Next were the playing surfaces – inside and out. The Vandals now have a SprinTurf practice facility outdoors and RealGrass Pro inside the Kibbie Dome. The football, men’s and women’s basketball, and swimming locker rooms were renovated into modern, stylish facilities for the student-athletes.

Ready this fall will be renovated athletic training and equipment rooms as well as state-of-the-art classrooms and meeting rooms. Those projects, however, are the just start. Spear is leading a $52 million campaign that will change the face of the Kibbie Dome.

Facilities are but one area where Spear has moved the department forward. He added to the support services staff to enhance the student-athlete experience. Computer labs and academic support staff are cornerstones of a successful department and the additions and upgrades in those areas are paying dividends. In the fall of 2007, the Idaho Athletics Hall of Fame was established with 93 individuals and five teams being inducted over a two-year period as part of the inaugural class.

His involvement isn’t limited to the Idaho campus. This fall he begins a two-year term as a member of the NCAA Legislative Council – one of two top-tier governing bodies in the organization.

“I am honored and excited to represent the Western Athletic Conference on this governing board,” Spear said at the time of his appointment. “It is a tremendous opportunity to make an impact on future NCAA legislation to ensure we continue to provide the best possible service to the student-athlete.”

Spear’s ties with athletics are life-long. He was a standout high school athlete in his native Butte, Mont., before moving on to letter four times at the University of Great Falls. Next was a two-year professional basketball career with the Montana Golden Nuggets, at the time coached by George Karl.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Great Falls in 1980 and his MBA from the University of Montana in 1983. He accepted a position as an internal auditor with the University of Idaho in 1989. While working at Idaho, he also pursued his doctorate in education, which he completed in 1993.

Prior to his appointment as director of athletics in 2003, Spear was the interim assistant financial vice president. He also spent time at Idaho as the Assistant Vice President for Outreach in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and in grants contracts.

He and his wife, Sandy, have one daughter, Morgan.

Athletics, University of Idaho president Dr. Duane Nellis says, is an integral element of the college experience. It is a way to engage students and alumni, it enhances opportunities not only for student-athletes but for students, and is a way to gain widespread exposure for the University as a whole.

“It is the front porch of the University and a highly visible dimension of the University,” said Nellis, who became Idaho’s 17th president July 1, 2009. “It enriches the college experience. Many of our alums have warm memories not only of their university academic experience but also of the social dimensions that come through athletic programs.”

A native of nearby Spokane, Wash., Nellis earned his bachelor’s degree at Montana State University and his master’s and doctoral degrees at Oregon State University. He met his wife, Ruthie, at Montana State.

Nellis comes to Idaho after five years as Provost and Senior Vice President at Kansas State University. Prior to his time at Kansas State, he was the Dean of the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University for seven years.

Previously, Nellis served as provost and senior vice president of Kansas State University, which has more than 23,000 students, 1,600 faculty, an annual budget of more than $730 million, and annual research funding that exceeds $215 million. He oversaw 12 deans and 10 other units, including the offices of the vice provost for information technology services and the vice president for research.

At Kansas State, he was responsible for strengthening its national leadership in selected strategic areas through targeted excellence investments, restructured and new programs that augmented student learning opportunities, and enhanced diversity and civic engagement among faculty, staff, and students.

At West Virginia University, he led a highly successful capital fundraising campaign, oversaw the planning and construction of a new $60 million Life Sciences Building, provided leadership that led to numerous college faculty and student successes – among which were the establishment of a National Geospatial Development Center, a Center for Writing Excellence, and a Math Learning Institute, a revitalized WVU Press. He also strengthened social justice and related diversity programs across the college and university.

In his professional role, he has served in various leadership positions as well. Nellis was on the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities Academic Officers Executive Council and was the National Chair Elect until his hiring as Idaho’s president. He also served as president of the Association of American Geographers, one of the largest professional geography organizations in the world. He also is past president of the National Council for Geographic Education; past president of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the International Geographic Honor Society; past president of the Kansas Academy of Sciences, and he served as one of 10 members of the National Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences Research Universities Committee.

Explanation

Offside: A difficult rule to understand, offsides results when a player moves into a position where she is closer to the

opponent’s goal than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent. Offside only becomes an infraction if the player’s team possesses the ball and she gains an advantage by being in that position. The charts below illustrate the penalty. . onside

An attempt that is taken with the intent of scoring a goal and is directed toward the goal.

Shot on Goal:

A shot that is “on target.” A shot that, if untouched, would go into the goal. If a shot hits a crossbar or goalpost without being deflected by the goalkeeper or a defender and does not score, it is not considered a shot on goal. A shot on goal must result in either a save by the goalkeeper or a goal by the attacking team.

Save:

A save is officially awarded only when a goalkeeper or defender stops or deflects a shot on goal. To receive credit for a save, the goalkeeper must have stopped a shot that otherwise would have gone into the goal. A goalkeeper who stops a shot or a cross is not credited with a save.

Cross:

Also called a “crossing pass,” a cross is a kick from a wide position on the field into the penalty area in front of the goal with the intent of setting up scoring opportunity for a teammate.

Assist:

A player is credited with an assist when she makes a pass that directly results in a goal. Each scoring play can result a maximum of two assists or none at all. A player is credited with an assist if she makes a pass to a teammate, who then scores a goal without losing possession or having to elude a defender. If a player takes a shot and misses, she can be awarded an assist if a teammate scores off the rebound, but only if the defense doesn’t gain possession before she shoots.

Direct Free Kick:

A direct free kick that is awarded at the spot of an infraction for a physical contact foul such as tripping, holding, pushing, tackling from behind and jumping into an opponent. It is also awarded after a hand ball infraction. A direct free kick can be scored by going directly into the goal and does not have to be touched by anyone other than the player kicking the ball.

Indirect Free Kick:

An indirect free kick is awarded at the spot of less serious, non-contact infractions like obstruction, as well as offside infractions. Indirect kicks must touch another player, offense or defense, before the ball goes into the net in order to be credited with a score.

Corner Kick:

A direct free kick that results from the defending team putting the ball out of bounds on the end line. The attacking team gets to kick the ball from the area around the corner flag and may score directly from the corner.

Yellow Card:

A player is shown a yellow card as a disciplinary action for minor offenses, such as unsporting behavior, delaying the game, persistently committing fouls, or deliberately leaving or entering the field without the referee’s permission. A second yellow card results in a red card for the player.

Red Card:

A player is shown a red card as a major disciplinary action. Actions that result in a red card include serious foul play, violent conduct, spitting at a player, being given two yellow cards or deliberately handing a ball or intentionally fouling another player to prevent a goal or goal-scoring opportunity. The player given the red card must immediately leave the playing area and may not be replaced by a substitute, leaving her team short-handed for the remainder of the match.

Substitutions:

In order to complete a substitution, a team must inform the referee in advance and must wait until a stoppage of play, like an out-of-bounds. A player who leaves the field during the first half may re-enter in the second, but a player who leaves during the second half can’t return. In the final five minutes of a game that is not tied, the clock will stop when the leading team makes a substitution, but not if the trailing team or both teams simultaneously make a substitution.
