2008 BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS! THE HIGHLANDERS MADE THEIR THIRD NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE AND FIRST TRIP SINCE 2002 Radford scored a pair of first half goals and then held off a furious rally by top-seeded Coastal Carolina for a 2-1 victory in the title game of the 2008 Big South Women’s Soccer Championship. “It is unbelievable,” Big South Tournament MVP Caitlyn Roan said on winning the championship. “I can’t even believe it or describe it. We all worked so hard and I felt all throughout the season that we deserved it.” The win avenged Radford’s lone loss of the season, a 1-0 home defeat to the Chanticleers on Oct. 11. With their sixth straight victory, the second-seeded Highlanders captured their third conference crown, first since 2002. “There is nothing like it,” McKenzie Vergara said. “This is the biggest thing I have ever won. I couldn’t hold in my emotions when the final whistle blew.” Radford took advantage of its only two shots of the first half and carried a 2-0 lead into halftime. The Chanticleers held a 5-2 advantage in shots and the Highlanders earned two corner kicks. “We were ready to play today,” head coach Ben Sohrabi said. “When the whistle blew these guys had a mission and they knew they wanted to be Big South Champions.” On the second of back-to-back corner kicks, Radford staked itself to an early 1-0 lead in the seventh minute. Justine Dugger’s service was cleared to Laura Culver 10 yards from goal. Her half volley hit a Coastal defender’s hand and the Highlanders were awarded a penalty kick. Culver drilled it low to the left for her second goal of the tournament and season. It was the first goal allowed by Coastal Carolina in the tournament (497:34) since 2006. “All the hard work and strong leadership paid off,” Sohrabi said. “This was a great Big South Championship game.”

BEN SOHRABI HEAD COACH 14th SEASON AT RADFORD/16th OVERALL During his 13 seasons on the sideline Ben Sohrabi has coached nearly half of the Radford women’s soccer program’s total wins, all-time. As if that wasn’t enough, the success of his most recent Highlander side in 2008 placed him among elite company at Radford University. With his third Big South championship ring and third career NCAA Tournament appearance, Sohrabi is tied for the most NCAA showings in Radford athletics history and is one of five Highlander head coaches to win three or more conference titles. Sohrabi’s success may rank him among the best at Radford, but he’s in a class all by himself on the pitch: Sohrabi is the only coach in Radford women’s soccer history to post 100 or more wins and six seasons of 10 or more victories (including two of 15 or more wins). Of the program’s 52 Big South wins since 1993, the most among conference schools all-time, 42 have come on Sohrabi’s watch. In addition his personal accolades, which include the 2002 Big South coach of the year honor and a pair of VaSID coach of the year nods (1997, 2008), Sohrabi’s players have been among the most decorated in Radford women’s soccer history. In his 13 seasons, 28 Highlanders have earned first team all-conference spots, two have been named Big South player of the year (Susan Melanson – 2000; Nikki Porter – 2002, ’03), two have earned league rookie of the year honors (Karen Dellavia – 1996; Nikki Porter – 2001) and one took home conference scholar-athlete of the year (Kelly Quesinberry – 2000). A 1992 graduate of Maryville (Tenn.) College, Sohrabi became the sixth women’s soccer head coach at Radford on April 10, 1996, earning his first Highlander win with a 9-1 rout of Chattanooga at home on Sept. 28. From there, Sohrabi led the turnaround of a program that won just four games in 1995 and five in his first season, to one that posted the most wins in p g still holds up p as the most wins team historyy in 1997. That 16-win campaign or a Radford side and the three losses were tied for the fewest in the Divifor sionn I era until that mark was bested in 2008. Named VaSID coach of the year in 1997, Sohrabi’s Highlanders went

2009 Radford Women’s Soccer

44-1-0 in Big South play, the second-best record since joining the league for wo women’s soccer in 1993. Added to that were a perfect regular season mark at ho home (8-0) and the program’s most First Team All-Big South selections (4) ev ever. Despite the gaudy record and accolades from 1997, Sohrabi and his tea team topped those feats in 1998 when he guided the Highlanders to their firstev Big South title and second NCAA Tournament appearance. After going ever 3- to close out the regular season, Radford posted three clean sheets and 3-4 ne netted six Big South tournament goals en route to its first conference crown, an a first round NCAA meeting with in-state foe James Madison. and Radford followed up its first NCAA showing with a third-straight 10wi season in 1999, going 13-5-1 while posting the program’s first Big South win re regular season title at 6-0-0 (one of three teams to go undefeated in league pl since 1999). play Three seasons later in 2002, Sohrabi’s Highlanders opened up the season wi winning nine of their first 10 games in rolling to a 15-5-1 record, the second hi highest win total in school history. Showing the same closing instincts as So Sohrabi’s first championship side, Radford outscored its opponents (Charlesto Southern, High Point, UNC Asheville) 10-1 in the Big South tournament ton to claim a second Big South title and second NCAA Tournament appearance in his tenure. This time, the draw for the Highlanders wasn’t a short trip to face an in in-state team in the NCAAs: instead, Radford was sent to face storied North Ca Carolina, the winningest program in Division I women’s soccer history and ev eventual national semifinalists in 2002. That season, Sohrabi earned Big South coach of the year honors and had v of his players named to all-conference teams, including league player of five th year Nikki Porter. the One of the milestone moments in Sohrabi’s career came in a special pl place: in 2004, he notched his 100th career win at Maryville, in an ultrara non-conference game at a Division III foe, as the Highlanders shut out rare So Sohrabi’s alma mater 4-0 on Sept. 7, 2004. The victory brought Radford’s re record to 3-1 that season and the Highlanders went on to their fifth 10-win se season under Sohrabi. In 2006, Sohrabi became Radford women’s soccer’s all-time winningest co coach and reached the 100-victory mark as the Highlander boss. On Sept. 23 Radford defeated Charleston Southern, 3-2, for his 98th win at RU which 23, su surpassed Don Staley (1985-93). He notched his 100th Radford victory on Oc 8 with a 4-0 win at South Carolina State. Oct. Last season, Sohrabi engineered one of the finest seasons of his career an Radford women’s soccer history. Finishing with a 14-2-6 mark, the and i Highlanders dropped just one regular-season match and two the entire campaign, both program bests on the way to a third Big South championship and NCAA Tournament appearance at Duke. Two factors that attributed to the Highlanders’ success were the work away from home as well as their defense. Radford posted the first undefeated road record (5-0-3) in program history and recorded a goals against average (0.94) under 1.00 for the first time since 1997. Along with the team accomplishments, several individuals were recognized in 2008. Defender Caitlyn Roan became the third Highlander under Sohrabi’s watch to garner all-region honors, while also being named Big South Tournament MVP, and first team all-conference and all-state. In all, four Highlanders received 2008 all-conference and all-state honors bringing the totals during his tenure to 48 and 16, respectively. Before his arrival at Radford, Sohrabi previously served as head coach at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn. Sohrabi led Lambuth to a 19-16-2 record in only two seasons after taking over a program in disarray. In 1995, he guided the Eagles to a 16-4-2 record and their first national ranking, 27th overall. A 1992 graduate of Maryville College, Sohrabi was a standout from 1988-91, earning All-South honors in 1991. From 1992-93, he served as executive director of the professional Nashville Metros in the U.S. Indoor Soccer League. He then returned to his alma mater as the assistant men’s and women’s coach from 1993-94. Sohrabi also played semi-pro soccer for six seasons. An avid fisherman, Sohrabi and his wife, Beth, reside in Radford.

JAMES ASHLEY ASSISTANT COACH 6th SEASON AT RADFORD James Ashley has become not only a familiar face on the Highlander sideline, but has become an integral figure in the day-to-day operations and the on-field future of the Radford women’s soccer program. Ashley, who enters his sixth season alongside Ben Sohrabi, assists in all aspects of the program. His most important roles, however, have been as recruiting coordinator, travel/operations coordinator, and goalkeepers coach. Under his guidance on the field in 2008, freshman goalkeeper Lisa Lubke had one of the best seasons for a Highlander keeper in over 10 years. The first team all-conference and second team all-state selection, posted the third best numbers in program history for saves (112) and goals against average (0.93) and fourth for save percentage (.855). Despite being just a freshman, her total saves and save percentage were the best marks for a Highlander since the late 1980’s. Radford’s improvement as a defensive unit under Ashley in 2008 saw the Highlanders post an 0.94 goals against average, compared to 1.78 in 2007. The 2008 season also marked a milestone for Ashley in his development as a coach: his first recruiting class at Radford became seniors last season and led the Highlanders to their third Big South championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Along with his work on the sidelines for the Highlanders, Ashley is also entering his sixth season as the head coach of Radford Soccer Club’s U-11 and U-12 boys team. Ashley holds an NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America) National License and Regional Diploma, and in November of 2004 he earned his Level I Goalkeeper Certification from the NSCAA. In addition to his certifications, Ashley spends his time in the offseason honing his craft at team camps throughout the region. Most recently, Ashley assisted at Kentucky’s and ETSU’s camps during the summer of 2009. A three-year letterman in goal for Maryville College, Ashley played for the Fighting Scots under Pepe Fernandez. A team captain in 2002 and 2003, he was honored with the team award in 2003. Academically, he was named to the Great South Conference All-Academic team his junior and senior seasons and was a Bradford and Maryville College scholar upon graduation.

During the spring of 2004, Ashley was an assistant coach for the Alcoa High School soccer program in Alcoa, Tenn. He also has worked several camps on the high school and collegiate level. Ashley, a Sebring, Fla. native, graduated in 2004 from Maryville with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics for teacher licenser with a minor in history. In the spring of 2009, Ashley received his master’s in teaching from Radford.

2008 SEASON HEADLINES

HIGHLANDERS BATTLE DUKE IN NCAAs McKenzie Vergara scored a goal and Lisa Lubke made 10 saves as Radford battled with No. 14 Duke for 90 minutes, but fell to the Blue Devils, 5-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. With Radford trailing 3-0, the Highlanders were awarded a free kick about 65 yards from the goal. Lubke’s service was flicked into the box by Maryellen Derenda and on a great individual effort, Vergara volleyed the ball from 15 yards over on-rushing Duke keeper Cassidy Powers for her eighth goal of the season. “It was an exciting night and I was very proud of our team,” said head coach Ben Sohrabi. “Duke is a very good team. This game helps us become stronger team and shows us the level we need to aspire to. It’s going to make us better for the future.” VERGARA CLOSES OUT CAREER IN STYLE Playing in her final collegiate game, McKenzie Vergara scored Radford’s lone goal against Duke. She wrapped up a stellar four-year, totaling 28 goals and 67 points, ranking her tied for fifth and ninth in those respective categories. HIGHLANDERS FINISH 2008 IN REGIONAL RANKINGS Radford finished the 2008 season ranked 11th in the MidAtlantic Region. The Highlanders finished with the fewest losses in their region and among all Division I programs in Virginia. Radford was first recognized in the region on Oct. 13th receiving votes and jumped to 11th on Nov. 10 after winning the Big South Tournament.

DEFENSE KEYS SUCCESS Defense played a key role in Radford’s success. The Highlanders recorded seven shutouts allowed just two goals or more in a game only four times. Radford kept its GAA (0.94) under 1.00 for the first time since 1997. Individually, Lisa Lubke recorded double-figure saves four times and finished with 118 to go along with a 0.93 goals against average and a .855 save percentage. She joins Peggy Poore (1985) and Amy Pseja (1993) as the only Highlander goalkeepers to record over 100 saves, a goals-against under 1.00 and an 85 percent or better save percentage in a single season. ROAN GETS SOCCER AMERICA “TEAM OF THE WEEK” NOD Coming off her strong performance in the Big South Tournament, Caitlyn Roan was named to the Soccer America Women’s Team of the Week.

The Big South tournament MVP was one of three defenders and 11 players to be recognized for their efforts during the final week before the NCAA Tournament. Roan anchored a strong Radford defense and man-marked Big South Player of the Year Ashleigh Gunning for a full 90 minutes in the Highlanders’ 2-1 victory over Coastal Carolina in the Big South Championship game. The first-team all-conference selection was joined on the backline by Notre Dame’s Carrie Drew and Harvard’s Lizzy Nichols. ROAN NAMED TOURNEY MVP; HIGHLANDERS REPRESENTED ON ALLTOURNAMENT TEAM Junior defender Caitlyn Roan was named the Big South Championships’ MVP for her outstanding work anchoring Radford’s defense and marking each team’s top player. Laura Culver scored a pair of goals in the tournament, netting the equalizer in the semifinals against VMI and the first goal in the championship game versus Coastal Carolina. The senior midfield entered the tournament scoring just one collegiate goal. Dugger scored the game-winning goal in the semifinal. Lubke made 13 saves over a three-game span. HIGHLANDERS RECOGNIZED WITH BIG SOUTH POSTSEASON HONORS After completing one of the best regular seasons in school history, Radford women’s soccer was awarded with four Big South All-Conference selections. Caitlyn Roan, McKenzie Vergara and Lisa Lubke earned first team accolades. Ashley Johnson was named to the second team and Jill Boyer was selected to the Big South All-Academic squad. Lubke and Johnson were also named to the all-freshman team. BOYER EARNS ACADEMIC ACCOLADES Jill Boyer, an advertising major with minors in business administration and marketing, was named to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic Women’s Soccer All-District third team. A member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and Radford Advertising Club, she has a 3.83 GPA in her first four semesters at the university. Boyer has also recorded a pair of perfect 4.0 semesters and been named the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll twice. ROAD WARRIORS The Highlanders finished undefeated on the road (6-0-3) in the regular season for the first time in school history and recorded a 9-1-3 record away from Patrick D. Cupp Memorial Stadium. Radford also won a season-opening road game for the first time since 2002 with its 4-0 victory at Howard.

McKenzie Vergara netted both against Winthrop. Ashley Johnson and Kathleen Jarvis recorded their first multi-goal games. Johnson followed that up with her second multi-goal effort in three games with two versus UNCA.

STRONG START Radford started the season 7-0-3, tying for the best undefeated start in school history, which included its first season-opening win since 2003 and the first-ever victory over Old Dominion. Prior to its loss to Coastal Carolina, Radford was the last remaining undefeated Division I team in Virginia. Even with their loss to the Chanticleers, the Highlanders’ 7-1-3 start is the second-best in school history. RADFORD DEFEATS OLD DOMINION FOR FIRST TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY Radford used an entire team effort to defeat Old Dominion, 2-1, at Patrick D. Cupp Memorial Stadium. Melony Davis broke a 1-1 deadlock in the 77th minute to give the Highlanders their first victory (11 matches) over the Monarchs in program history. After weathering continuous ODU pressure (10 shots) for the first 31 minutes of the second half, Jill Boyer found Davis with a 30-yard through ball across the pitch. Davis held off her defender as she dribbled into the box and drained a low shot into the far post for the game-winner. Davis’ second goal of the season was the lone shot in the half for the Highlanders. The Monarchs, who outshot the Highlanders 16-1, continued to pressure after the goal and had several more opportunities to tie the match, but Lisa Lubke came up big with two of her four second half saves and a couple of late ODU shots sailed just wide. She also prevented ODU from taking the lead in the 66th minute, tipping a Janna Pearson shot off the crossbar. FANTASTIC FRESHMEN Radford’s freshman class made an impact on the 2008 season. Goalkeeper Lisa Lubke was the conference’s first team keeper, being ranked nationally in the top 10 in save percentage for the majority of the season. She led the Big South in shutouts, save percentage and goals against average, while making critical saves all season. She recorded double-figure saves in four games, including a season-high 12 at Marshall. Second team all-conference forward Ashley Johnson scored a team-best 12 goals, second in the conference. She scored the most goals since Sue Williams set the freshman record with 16 in 1990. Johnson tallied both goals in the Highlanders’ Big South first round game against UNC Asheville. Melony Davis may have scored one of the biggest goals last season, the gamewinner in the 77th minute, lifting Radford past ODU, 2-1. Davis finished with four in 2008. Maryellen Derenda has been a strong force in the midfield all season for Radford. She’s made four starts, but came off the bench as a dominant figure in the air for the Highlanders.

Since being introduced as Radford University’s Director of Athletics in the fall of 2007, Radford native Robert Lineburg has helped usher in a new era of Highlander athletics, marked by unprecedented on-and off-field improvements and successes. In his short time with the department, Lineburg has been the catalyst for a number of changes, particularly in areas such as facilities, personnel and strategic planning. His most visible influence to date has been on the Dedmon ROBERT LINEBURG Center, where Lineburg has been DIRECTOR OF involved with major renovations ATHLETICS to the centerpiece of Radford athletics for more than 25 years. Beginning in the spring of 2008, the facility underwent transformations to the arena, including a new steel-supported roof, a new basketball floor, renovated athletic offices, a new-look natatorium, and improved athletic locker, training, and medical facilities. Lineburg has also overseen the hires of four new head coaches, as well as five new athletic administrators. His hires include women’s basketball head coach Taj Njongba, head volleyball coach Marci Jenkins, women’s head golf coach Jeff Beeler, and the promotion of track and field interim director Brent Chumbley to head coaches’ status. Among the administrators added in Lineburg’s tenure are executive associate A.D. Randy Butt, head athletic trainer David Jager, assistant A.D. for communications Joey Beeler, director of studentathlete support services/SWA Stephanie Ballein, and associate A.D. for external operations Greg Herring. As a result of the changes, Radford achieved a banner year in 2008-09: women’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s tennis and softball claimed Big South conference crowns and advanced to NCAA Tournament play. Women’s soccer advanced to its fourth tournament, men’s basketball won the Big South regular-season and tournament to advance to the NCAAs for the first time since 1998, men’s tennis made its third-straight appearance, and softball appeared for the first time and won Radford’s first NCAA tournament game in any sport.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander

replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique tV packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly

every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an atlarge playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The league has had more than 95 academic allAmericans in its quarter-century of existence.
