HEad Coach Brian Stock 11th Season The University of Akron, 1995 2005 Conference Co-Coach Of The Year 113 Academic All-Conference Selections 16 All-Conference Selections 5 Conference Tournament Appearances Head Coach Brian Stock is in his 11th season at the helm of the Southern Utah University women’s soccer team and has led the squad since the inception of the program in 2001. During his tenure on the Thunderbird bench, Coach Stock has led SUU to six conference tournament spots, has seen 16 players earn all-conference honors, 10 more garner conference tournament accolades, and 113 players named academic all-conference. The 2010 campaign saw the Thunderbirds record the highest goal total (27), second most points (69), third most shots (282), fifth most shots on goal (128), and fifth most assists (15) in SUU single-season history. Stock had former all-Summit League second-team selection Riley Bassett break her own school-record with 59 shots, which included a team best 23 on goal. Southern Utah tied the all-time mark of seven wins in 2007 and 2008, advancing to the conference tournament for the fourth consecutive year in 2008. The T-Bird defense allowed the second-fewest goals in school history during the 2008 campaign as the Thunderbirds continued to rewrite the SUU record books. In 2007 the team perpetuated a record-setting precedent, setting new marks in shots (330) and shots on goal (167). The team also put up the second-best total in school history with 23 goals, 18 assists and 64 points in 2007. The Thunderbirds set and reset records in 2005 and 2006 as the team broke nearly every offensive mark in goals, assists, points, shots, shots on goal and defensive records in goals against average. Coach Stock’s efforts in 2005 earned Conference Co-Coach of the Year honors. Before coming to SUU, Coach Stock, 37, spent three seasons as the assistant women’s soccer coach at Youngstown State, where he was also the director of athletic youth camps. During his tenure with the Penguins, he helped produce three all-Mid-Continent Conference selections, two all-Ohio players and 15 all-Mid-Con academic selections. Stock began his coaching career as an assistant men’s soccer coach at his alma mater, The University of Akron, from 1996-98 and helped lead the Zips to the Mid-American Conference title in 1997. While at Akron, he had the opportunity to work under one of the nation’s top coaches in Ken Lolla, formerly the under-15 boys National Team coach. He was also active in coaching at the club level in both Akron and Youngstown. Prior to beginning his coaching career, Coach Stock served as the Director of Soccer Programs for Athletes in Action Soccer Canada in Vancouver, British Colombia, from 1994 through 1996, and was responsible for directing youth camps, staff training, overseeing the operations of the semi-pro club and administration of international tours. Stock graduated Summa Cum Laude in accounting at Akron in 1995, and earned a masters degree in business administration from UA in 1998. He played goalkeeper for four seasons on the Zips’ men’s soccer team and helped lead the team to a Mid-Con championship in 1991 and MAC titles in 1993 and 1995.

Stock earned two MAC Commissioner’s Awards for academic excellence during his playing career. Stock played for three seasons with the AIA Football Club, a semi-professional club in Vancouver, B.C., where he helped guide the team to a Pacific Coast Soccer League playoff berth in 1994. He was also named a PCSL all-star in 1996 and was rated as one of the league’s top goalkeepers all three seasons. Stock hails from North Canton, Ohio, and is accredited with a Premier Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He also served as a head age group coach in the Nevada Olympic Development Program. Coach Stock is also the founder and director of Thunderbird Soccer Schools and currently serves as a coaching director for Forza FC South. He and his wife, Dannon, are the parents of three sons, Andrew (11), Kaleb (9), Nathan (7) and daughter Sarah (5).

assistant coach jessica brown First Season UNLV 2006

Jessica Brown enters her first season as a member of the Thunderbird coaching staff. Brown was a four-year letter-winner at UNLV, and helped the Rebels to consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament in 2004 and 2005. The Las Vegas, Nev. native was also a four-time member of the Mountain West Conference All-Academic team and served as a student assistant during the 2006 season. During her junior season with the Rebels, Brown tallied the third-highest singleseason assist total in the school’s history. Between her collegiate seasons at UNLV, Brown competed in the Women’s Premier Soccer League as a member of the Elk Grove Pride from California and the Las Vegas Tabagators. Brown also has extensive club experience as both a player and a coach. The new Thunderbird assistant comes to SUU from Neusport FC in Las Vegas where she served as the club’s Executive Director. During her playing days Brown was a member of Nemesis FC, a program that captured six consecutive state cup titles. Brown was also a four- year letter-winner at Bishop Gorman High School where she was named the Gatorade High School Player of the Year in 2002. “I am very excited to bring Jessica onto our staff,” said Stock of the latest addition to the SUU soccer program. “I have been blessed to have great assistants in the past and Jessica will continue that trend. From her playing days to her time as a coaching professional she has a wealth of valuable experience and perspective that will help us continue to move the program forward. Jessica is very passionate about the game and brings a great mentality to the sideline. She will be a great mentor for our players.” Brown earned her Bachelor’s degree in hotel administration from UNLV in 2006. She is the daughter of Ed and Janie Brown.

THUNDERBIRD SOCCER 2011 season outlook The 2011 season promises to be a special year for the Thunderbirds as Southern Utah will play its final season in the Summit League as the university is set to become a member of the Big Sky Conference next summer. The T-Birds will play a difficult slate of non-conference games in addition to their regular challenging Summit League schedule. “To be the best you have to beat the best,” explained head coach Brian Stock. “We are hoping that the challenging non-conference games we play will help put us in a good position for our final year in the Summit League.” Southern Utah looks to build on their success in 2010 as it returns seven starters from last year’s squad including the team’s top five scorers and a trio of experienced seniors. Riley Bassett returns for her senior season after tallying seven goals a year ago to move to fifth place in the record book with nine career goals. Basset will be joined in the midfield by Elyse Osborne, who led the Thunderbirds with four assists in 2010. Senior defender Allyson Duda will lead a formidable defense that posted three shutouts last year. “Overall the talent level of this team has really improved,” stated head coach Brian Stock. “Our returners have benefitted from their experience and we have added some very skilled freshmen, who despite their youth, all have the ability to make an impact.” Goalkeeper Charly Booth returns for the Thunderbirds after having one of the best seasons in the net in Southern Utah history. The junior recorded the program’s fourth highest single season total in saves (92) as well as the third highest number of shutouts (3). Keeper Breanna Fitzgerald also returns to the pitch after sitting-out last year. The redshirt sophomore already possesses a significant amount of experience after starting 10 games during her freshman campaign. “There will be great competition at that position, as both of our keepers have been pushing for minutes”, explained Stock. “The key to being a successful goalkeeper is maturity and decision-making, and both of these girls have had the opportunity to gain experience and grow in those areas.” The back line for the Thunderbirds will be anchored by senior Allyson Duda and returning starter Rachel Krenzer. Kristy Baron will be expected to play an increased role in the defense in her sophomore season and Coach Stock will count on contributions from a talented recruiting class that includes newcomers Andrea Albrecht, Brianne Brown, Megan Palmer and Christine Meehan. “The chemistry that our returners in the back five have will be a great benefit to us”, commented Stock. There are tremendous expectations on the offensive side of the ball as the Thunderbirds return the top five scorers from a team that set a school record with 27 goals a year ago and posted the second highest point total (69) in SUU soccer history. The midfield should be a strength for Southern Utah as senior Riley Basset leads a deep group of midfielders that includes fellow senior Elyse Osborne and returning starters Morgan Bridge and Stacey Brinkman. The Thunderbirds also return Vanessa Lilii and Megan Mower who gained valuable experience last season and add newcomer Kirsten Anthony at the position.

THUNDERBIRD SOCCER 2011 season outlook “We have good depth across the midfield, and all the players have established themselves as a presence,” said Stock. “Basset and Osborne are the two most senior members of this squad and they set the tone with their composure, attacking, and the mentality that they distill.” The Thunderbirds will also feature a talented group up front that is poised for a big year in 2011. Stacey Brinkman will be back on the pitch after struggling with injuries over the past two years. The junior forward has shown great potential and was named to the All-Summit League freshman team after leading the team with five goals and three assists during her first season at SUU. Junior forward Shelby Ostler has also proved her ability to score the ball, netting five goals last year. Missy Lazcano turned in a strong performance with four goals in 2010 and will also see time on the front line this season. Transfer Amanda Humphreys will provide increased depth at the postion. “Having Stacy back at full-health will be huge for us, and Shelby has great goal-scoring potential,” commented Stock. “This group of forwards has a lot of potential and is ready to make the next step.” Along with the six newcomers that will join the team this fall, the Thunderbirds will welcome new assistant coach Jessica Brown who was a four-year letter-winner with the soccer team at UNLV. “Jessica is very passionate about the game and brings a great mentality to the sideline”, said Stock of his new assistant. “She will be a great mentor for our players.” “We have high ambitions for this season, and will look to end our run in the Summit League with a bang,” said Stock. “You always want to compete for a championship and we will work hard to end on a high note as we make the transition to a new conference.”

Southern utah President Michael T. Benson was appointed the 15th president of Southern Utah University on November 10, 2006, by the Utah State Board of Regents. Dr. Benson came to SUU from Snow College where he served as president for five years. Prior to his tenure in Ephraim, Dr. Benson was special assistant to the president and secretary to the University of Utah, a cabinet-level position on that campus. During his presidency at Snow, athletic teams excelled, winning several conference championships and finishing near the top of national rankings. He was instrumental in establishing America’s premier junior college football bowl game, the Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl, played each December in Salt Lake City. Dr. Benson currently serves as Chair of the Presidents’ Council for the Summit League. President Benson is the father of four children, Emma, Samuel, Truman Taft, and Tatum Anne. He and his wife Debi, along with the kids, are regularly seen around campus and at all types of sporting events. An accomplished athlete, Dr. Benson was captain of the East High School basketball team and one of four sophomores on the team that won the 1981 Utah State championship. He turned down track scholarships as a senior at East to enroll at Brigham Young University on a leadership scholarship, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree in political science, English, and history while playing on the junior varsity basketball team. He has also competed in the worlds oldest rivalry, serving as a player/coach in leading Oxford University over Cambridge in the 1994 Varsity Basketball Match. President Benson has completed several marathons with his best time (2:41) winning his age division at the St. George Marathon. In 1984, Michael was one of only 19 teenagers to compete in the Boston Marathon, with his finishing time of 2:52 placing him in the top 15% of all registered runners. While President of Snow College, he ran the St. George Marathon again, this time raising over $50,000 for the athletic department. He currently maintains a seven handicap in his favorite sport, golf. Dr. Benson holds a doctorate in modern Middle Eastern History from Oxford University. His critically-acclaimed book, Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel has led to many lecturing and consulting opportunities. Michael regularly leads tour groups to the Middle East where he is eager to share his love for and knowledge of the region. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in non-profit administration at the Mendoza School of Business at the University of Notre Dame. The Bensons are delighted to be at Southern Utah University and look forward to supporting Thunderbird student-athletes for many years to come.

Dr. Michael T. Benson Dear Thunderbird Fans and Supporters: One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of us at Southern Utah University are committed to helping our student-athletes as they prepare to win on their respective fields and courts of competition. But more importantly, we are committed to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skills that will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thank you for your continued commitment to SUU and its many outstanding athletic programs which now number 17 – the second highest number of Division I sports programs offered in the entire State of Utah. For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautiful fall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefits of Division I athletics in our community are innumerable. From the dollars spent by visiting teams and fans in our local places of business to the positive media coverage generated by our student-athletes, the University is the beneficiary of these and other positive by-products of the substantial investment in our athletic program. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their association with the University when they see a return on their donated dollars in the form of success on the field and in the classroom. Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment we are willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition to those student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the “thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excellent participation opportunities for students in bands, cheer squads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and many more. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage of the geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity on campus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academic and social experience of ALL our students. I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, and his able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of the funds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the academic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress of our student-athletes to ensure their commitment to “prepare to win” while at SUU and well beyond. Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University and the proud Thunderbird tradition. Yours sincerely, President Michael Benson

Southern Utah University is truly a place where academics come first. The strong academic commitment of the staff and coaches is manifest in the overall academic accomplishments our teams achieve on an annual basis. The University’s strong academic emphasis, coupled with the dedicated efforts of the student athletes, allows the Athletics Department to continually post high marks in the classroom. The academic climate offered at SUU enables the institution to attract and retain high quality student athletes with sound character and a clear understanding of personal responsibility. Thunderbird Athletics was recently rewarded by its fellow institutions with an unprecedented, fourth consecutive Mid-Continent Conference Sportsmanship Award, setting a new standard by which all institutions are now measured. Southern Utah is fortunate to have a great relationship with the community, bringing new meaning to the term, “campus community.” Cedar City residents are hospitable, friendly and eager to serve, creating an ideal setting for personal growth. Thunderbird student athletes readily accept their responsibility of role models and spent countless hours in the local schools mentoring children. Southern Utah University’s commitment to athletics is manifest in its first class athletic facilities, providing the necessary amenities for a student athlete to achieve his/her athletic goals and compete at higher levels. Southern Utah University is an ideal place to achieve academic and athletic excellence and reach the high expectations we all have.
