During more than a decade of leadership, Dr. Foley has led the move to intentionally integrate faith and learning in all areas of university life, while raising academic standards, building new residence halls, establishing outstanding programs such as the Center for Performing Arts, and earning the private Christian university national rankings. His emphasis on the core values of faith, learning and leadership has extended to all operations of the university, from the classroom to the administrative offices. With these core values in place, the university is committed to graduating confident Christian men and women who have mastered the body of knowledge required by the degree they hold; who know how to think; who know what they believe and why they believe it; who possess the courage to live and work according to those beliefs; who accept responsibility as caretakers of that with which God has entrusted them; and who possess the willingness and skill to use their influence in appropriate and effective ways to change the world around them. Dr. Foley is a member of the Executive Committee of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a past chairman of the Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Schools, and a member of the Board of Directors of Victory Health Partners and Volunteers of America, Southeast, Inc. Previously, Dr. Foley was executive vice president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

He is an ordained minister, a former business owner, and has practiced as a professional counselor. His wife, Marilyn, is involved in many university activities. She holds a bachelor of science in education from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, and is a former classroom educator. The Foleys have two children and two granddaughters. Their daughter, Molly, is married to Doug Sawyer, an accountant in Georgia, and they have two daughters, Avery and Abby. Their son, Rob, and his wife, Leah, reside in Colorado where he works with Christian ministries in the National Parks system.

Head Coach

Roy Patton Roy Patton will begin his second season at the University of Mobile after posting a 16-3-1 record last season and leading the team to the NAIA National Tournament. Patton returns to the city that honored him in 1996 by naming May 30 “Roy Patton Day” in recognition of his contributions to area youth soccer. Patton is a former professional soccer player in both Ireland and the U.S. (Glentoran FC and Bangor FC, both Irish Professional Teams, and in the USISL with the Mobile Revelers and Vermont Wanderers). He was head men’s soccer coach at the University of South Alabama from 1980-1996, earning honors as Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year 12 times. At USA he had 14 consecutive NCAA Division 1 winning seasons, won the Sun Belt Conference from 1991-1995, and had a 100 percent graduation rate among four-year student-athletes. He was presented the National Meritorious Award for services to the game of soccer by the National Intercollegiate Soccer Official Association in 1993. In 1993, Patton was named director for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs. During the remainder of his tenure, the women’s team went 21-13-2 and ended the 1995 season ranked No. 8 in the South Region. At the University of Vermont, where he served as head men’s soccer coach from 1996-2003, the team won the America East in 2000 and made an NCAA appearance, was finalist in America East in 2002, and produced the first Vermont athlete to be named America East Men’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all sports. Patton was named America East Coach of the Year in 1998 and 2000 Patton’s combined record at USA and as head men’s soccer coach at the University of Vermont is 270-146-36. When he left the collegiate coaching ranks for the athletic directorship at Plattsburgh State, Patton was ranked nationally in the top 20 among active Division I coaches in career wins and career winning percentage. Along with the success his players have enjoyed on the field and in the classroom, a number of Patton’s pupils have gone on to make their own marks in soccer. Eddie Carvacho played in the MLS, served as the U.S. National Team goalkeeper and is currently the goalkeepers coach at Clemson University. Colin Carmichael played for the Mobile Revelers and is the head coach of Oklahoma State’s women’s soccer program, and Brett Jacobs is an assistant coach for the 2010 MLS Champion Colorado Rapids. Patton also coached Goggi Rognavaldursson, who was named All-American, Academic All-American and was the NCAA Div I leading goal scorer in 1989. Patton has mentored numerous other players who have gone on to play professionally and enter the coaching ranks at various levels. Also, Patton has served as coaching director of Nordic Spirit Soccer Club in Burlington, Vermont (1999-2004); as director of athletics at Plattsburgh State University in New York (2004-2005); and as general manager and technical director of Middleton Yahara Soccer Club in Wisconsin (2006 to present). Previously, he was a chemistry and biology teacher with the Mobile County Public School System at Citronelle and Satsuma high schools (1982-1987) and was a science and physical education teacher in Belfast, Northern Ireland (1978-1980). He is a U.S. Soccer Federation “A” licensed coach and holds certifications with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, advanced national diploma, and Irish Football Association Grade 1. He was a founder and board member for the Mobile Revelers professional soccer franchise, and founder and board member for Vermont Wanderers, now known as the Vermont Voltage and rated as one of the best Professional Player Development Soccer League franchises in the U.S. He has served as a regional Olympic development coach from 1988-1992, and as state director of coaching in Alabama from 1988-1992. He served as chairman for soccer in the Sun Belt Conference from 1990-1994 and served on the NCAA Tournament Regional Selection Committee from 1990-1993. Patton holds a bachelor of education in biology and physical education from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland; a master of education in exercise technology from University of South Alabama; and a Doctor of Education in sports management from the United States Sports Academy.

UMobile Men’s Soccer The University of Mobile men’s soccer team will head into the 2012 season looking to improve upon last year’s Round of 16 exit at the NAIA Men’s Soccer National Tournament, but the team will have take it step by step. “We go one game at a time,” Head Coach Roy Patton said. “You can’t look too far ahead, you’re only as good as your last game. We will do everything we can to be successful.” Replacing two-time All-American Deshorn Brown up top at forward are Naissim Ayadi and Alvaro Pichardo. “Naissim will feature in the front line for us,” Patton said. “He’s a talented soccer player with a great sense for combo play.” At midfield, the Rams are loaded with players that will defend, distribute and score. Kyle Kimbrell, Gaetan Massiah, Gunnar Steindorsson, Stephen Okai, Mitch Golding, Daniel Spell, Michael Finamore, Sam Blackburn, James Hayley and David Belser will all battle for time. Kimbrell saw action in 19 of the team’s 20 games last season, Okai is a twotime NAIA All-American who accounted for 23 points in 2011 (6 goals and 11assists), Steindorsson tallied 6 goals and 3

2012 Preview

assists to earn SSAC All-Freshman honors and Blackburn led the team with 14 assists to go with 6 goals. “Kyle is a very versatile, athletic player that is turning into a tremendous leader, while Okai is one of the top players in the conference and country,” Patton said. “He’s an absolute force to be reckoned with when he’s on his game. Gunnar had a great freshman season and is versatile with good technical abilities. Blackburn loves the game, has exception touch and loves to take people on.” The Rams will feature Pierre Mangold, Andrew Tortorich, Shane Mendenhall, Alex Swan, Anthony Greenlee, Samuel Weeks, Justin Dillenschneider, Luis Esteves and Chris Dillon at defender. Dillon is a three-time NAIA All-American who started all 20 games in 2011 and tallied 5 goals and 4 assists, while Dillenschneider and Weeks saw limited action for the Rams.

The team’s only returning goalkeeper is Xavier Audergon, who racked up a 7-2-1 record with six shutouts in 2011. He allowed only seven goals in 1148 minutes. “At goalkeeper, we are delighted to have Xavier back,” Patton said. “In his first year, he was one of the most competent keepers in the league. Hayden Dees is a local kid who we expect great things from in the years ahead, while Elijah Gibson is a great shot stopper and a tremendous physical specimen.” Awaiting the Rams is a daunting schedule, thanks in large part to the Southern States Athletic Conference slate. “It’s the top conference in the country and we are proud of that,” Patton said. “Every conference game is a high level collegiate soccer event and we want to go out and do our best to add to that.”

“Pierre is a very talented, balanced player who’s a tremendous ball winner, while Luis is a big, strong exceptional central defender, who also comes as a highly recommended distributor,” Patton said. “Dillon is the team captain, a stalwart defender and is tremendous in the air. He’s a very talented center back.”
