ALUMNI STADIUM AT STOEBER FIELD

ptly named Alumni Stadium for the outpouring of financial support from Thiel College alumni, the facility – which opened with the Tomcats’ first game of the 2001 season against Capital University – was officially dedicated during Homecoming weekend on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2001. Alumni Stadium envelops Stoeber Field, named after legendary Thiel coach John B. “Jack” Stoeber.

The stadium features a red brick entrance and ticket booth area, a hospitality center which houses a memorabilia shop and a concession stand, seating for 1,400 and a FieldTurf synthetic turf system. The stadium is also home to the Victory Bell (pictured middle left), which was originally part of Ridgeway Hall, a farmhouse that was bought by the College in 1876 and enlarged in 1881 to be used as a dining hall.

The bell was used to call students to meals and later to announce athletic victories. After Ridgeway Hall was razed in 1955, the bell was placed on its own stand near where it had been as part of Ridgeway Hall until the mid-1970s, when it was moved to the Passavant Center, where it was used to call students to worship. As Thiel’s athletic programs continue to grow and evolve, the demands on the College’s sports facilities also grow. Installation of the RissellSchreyer Dome, a multi-sport air structure, over Stoeber Field during winter months eases the pressure on the use of our current facilities and keeps our sports teams practicing and our intramural programs having fun all year round!

Thiel College

Athletics Facilities Thiel’s 22 NCAA Division III athletics programs — and the campus and Greenville communities in general — are served by a collection of on-campus facilities that include some of the finest small-college stadia in the region.

Opened in 2001, Alumni Stadium (above) serves as the on-campus home of Thiel football as well as the men’s and women’s soccer and lacrosse programs. The stadium’s FieldTurf playing surface is also used for intramural events.

One of the newest facilities on campus, the softball field at Tomcat Park (below) is located on West Campus, near Greenville’s Riverside Park.

The baseball field at Tomcat Park was finished in time for the 2008 season and is home to Thiel’s nationally renowned baseball program. The field can comfortably accommodate several hundred fans and also features a spacious, elevated press box.

The Paul Bush ‘66 Fitness Center is located in the upper level of the historic Rissell Gymnasium on what was once the College’s main basketball court. The facility is open to the entire campus community.

Beeghly Gymnasium is located in the RissellBeeghly Gymnasia and serves as the home of Thiel’s volleyball and basketball programs.

Paul O’Neil 1898 football team

1892 Thiel College participates in its first intercollegiate football game by taking on Grove City College on Thanksgiving Day. Thiel loses the game 48-0. 1893 Thiel, known then as the “Huskies,” picks up its first-ever intercollegiate win with a 6-0 victory over Allegheny College. The Huskies have a Thanksgiving Day rematch with Grove City, but unfortunately lose to their Mercer County rival 28-0. 1894 Thiel has its first winning season under Coach Hildum. The Huskies win four and lose three, including an 86-0 thrashing of Fredonia Institute. The 86 points are still an all-time Thiel record. 1898

Led by player-coach J. Miller Hilbish, the Huskies set a record for wins in a season with five. Hilbish teaches the players to know their positions, run interference and use trick plays against more talented teams.

1899

The Huskies are refit with moleskin cloth suits and other articles by businessmen of Greenville. Thiel also joins the Intercollegiate Athletic League (IAL), along with Westminster College, Geneva College and Allegheny. Thiel finished third in the IAL that year.

1902

On Sept. 23, the Thiel faculty issues its Football Manifesto, which prohibits the playing of football at Thiel. In reply, some students gather on a roof and sing, “In Heaven above where all is love/There will be no faculty there.”

1911 The Football Manifesto is lifted and football resumes at Thiel. Led by co-coaches Nathan Harter (for whom Harter Hall is named) and Asher F. Shupp, the Huskies finish the season 1-1. A loss to Grove City and a win against Edinboro highlights the second coming of the “first season of Thiel football”. 1916 Loyal Thiel students walk a 55-mile distance to Beaver Falls to see Thiel play Geneva to a 0-0 tie. The students travel as far as Ellwood City on Friday and finish their journey Saturday morning.

1918

The Thiel football team, led by Coach Herbert “Hub” Lynch, plays only one game, a 27-0 loss to Grove City, before dropping the rest of the schedule due to World War I.

1924 Head Coach Tommy Holleran takes the Huskies to Pittsburgh to face Carnegie Tech. Thiel is defeated 22-0, but puts up such a fight that Wally Steffen, head coach of Carnegie Tech, says that the team “played like Wildcats.” This leads Melvin A. Blair, sports editor of the Greenville Record-Argus, to report that “they played like Tom’s Cats.” The name sticks and the athletic teams at Thiel are known as the Tomcats from then on. 1932 John B. Stoeber takes over the head coaching reins of the Tomcats. Although Thiel ends the season 3-6 in his first year, Stoeber remains the head coach until 1955, compiling a Thiel-record 75 wins in his 19 seasons. 1941

The Tomcats post their first undefeated season in school history with a 7-0 record. Thiel dominates their opponents by posting six shutouts and allowing only seven points the entire season.

College, initially focused on ministry for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, was founded as Thiel Hall in Monaca, Pa., in 1866 and chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1870. In 1871 the college moved to Greenville where it has remained ever since. The first football game was played against Grove City College in 1892. hiel

The years from 1902-1910 are referred to in Thiel College history as the “Football Manifesto”. There are some differing accounts as to why Thiel stopped playing football for this eight year period - but the most accurate history is probably found in The History of Thiel College, 18661974. Reportedly, a faculty manifesto was passed declaring football “too violent”, causing the students to refer to these years as the Football Manifesto. The faculty relented in 1910 after eight years of student protest and in 1911 Thiel fielded a football team for two games, one versus Grove City College and one versus Edinboro College (now Edinboro University). The second period of time when Thiel did not have a football team was from 1942-1945, during the United State’s participation in World War II. In the 106 seasons of Thiel’s football history, many important events and firsts have occurred. For example, the first football game designated a “Homecoming game” was in 1915 on Thanksgiving weekend versus Hiram

College. The Tomcats prevailed 28-13 and afterwards a banquet was held with entertainment by the college orchestra. Other milestones include: the first Thiel win: 1893 vs. Allegheny, 4-0; the 100th Thiel win: 1936 vs. Allegheny, 6-0; and the 300th Thiel win: 2001 vs. Grove City, 40-27. The most celebrated individual in Thiel’s football history is without a doubt coach Jack Stoeber. Coach Stoeber served as head football coach from 1932-1941 and again from 1946-1954. He amassed 75 wins in that time and went on to win the Dapper Dan award for outstanding contributions to athletics in Western Pennsylvania, the Greenville Man of the Year award, the National Recreation Association award for distinguished service in community recreation and numerous coach of the year awards. Coach Stoeber’s career at Thiel also included stints as professor of German, head men’s basketball coach, dean of men and director of athletics. The remarkable history of excellence and achievement is remembered as the building blocks for today’s Thiel football players. Except for the two periods without football teams during Thiel’s history, varsity football has been played every year since 1892, and this year marks the celebration of the 107th season of Thiel football. Excerpts from Dr. Roy H. Johnson’s The History of Thiel College: 1866-1974

The History of Thiel Football

1942-45

The team finished with a 7-3 overall record and second in the PAC with a 4-1 mark. The Tomcats’ last seven-win season was in 1972 (7-2) when Thiel recorded its second PAC championship.

Football is halted for the duration of World War II. It is the first gridiron stoppage at Thiel since 1918.

The Tomcats pick up where they left off in 1941 by posting their second-straight 7-0 season. Although the Tomcats allow more than seven points, they still record three shutouts, including a 2-0 win over Slippery Rock State College.

1950 Thiel rolls to their third perfect season in school history. The Tomcats finish at 7-0 with five shutouts while outscoring their opponents 206-13. During the season they set the modern single game scoring record with 61 points against Lycoming College. 1955 Joe DiFebo, captain of Stoeber’s 1941 team, takes over as Thiel’s new head coach. DiFebo carries on the winning tradition with a 6-1 record. 1958

Thiel joins the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in the fall of 1958, along with Allegheny College, Washington & Jefferson College and Bethany College.

1981

In their win against Case Western Reserve University on Sept. 26, the Tomcats set PAC records with 451 yards of rushing and 676 yards of total offense.

2000

Former player and coach Howard Weyers ‘56 and wife Kay announce lead pledge to launch the campaign to raise funds for the construction of Alumni Stadium.

The Tomcats open Alumni Stadium at Stoeber Field, bringing Thiel football to campus after decades of playing on nearby Stewart Field.

2005

Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Jack Leipheimer, the Tomcats post an unblemished 10-0 regular season mark, win the PAC title for the first time since 1972 and make the program’s first-ever NCAA Division III playoff appearance. After posting a 28-3 home victory over Johns Hopkins University in the opening round of the Division III playoffs the Tomcats suffer a 24-13 loss at Alumni Stadium to Bridgewater College in the second round to finish the year with an 11-1 record.

PERFECTION Thiel’s Undefeated Regular seasons

Thiel has produced four unbeaten, untied regular seasons in its history. Three came during the tenure of legendary coach Jack Stoeber, who led Thiel to 75 wins in 19 seasons at the helm. The most recent came in 2005 under the direction of head coach Jack Leipheimer, whose team was the first in school history to advance to the NCAA Playoffs.

THIEL in the

............

PAC

Thiel enters its 53rd season in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in 2011, having joined the league in 1958. During its time in the PAC, Thiel has won three conference football titles - in 1967, 1972, and most recently in 2005. The winner of the PAC title earns the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA D-III Playoffs.

A Century of Thiel Football

the TOMCAT mascot T

hrough 1923 Thiel athletic teams were known as the “Huskies”. But in 1924, greatly impressed by the spirit of the Thiel football team, Carnegie Tech head coach Wally Steffen observed that “they played like wild, wild cats.”

his prompted Melvin A. Blair of the Greenville Record Argus to report “Thiel played like Tom’s cats,” in reference to head coach Dr. Thomas Holleran, a Greenville dentist and former All-America at the University of Pittsburgh. From that point thereafter the Thiel “Huskies” became known as the Thiel “Tomcats” as a tribute to Dr. Holleran.

Head coach Tommy Holleran pictured at left in this 1926 photo - was an All-America quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh before arriving at Thiel.

THIEL COLLEGE

SEASON OUTLOOK Looking to put last season in their rearview mirror, Thiel coach Kurt Reiser and the Tomcat players have plenty of reasons to be optimistic as the 2011 season approaches. To start, Thiel returns a strong contingent of upperclassmen starters on defense, including two all-Presidents’ Athletic Conference selections in defensive end Tim Taylor and linebacker Ethan Ludwig, an outstanding senior linebacker in Ryan Dawes, and Marshaun Hainesworth, a junior that Reiser says has the potential to be one of the best defensive backs in the conference this season. The offense may be a little younger than the defense for the Tomcats, but no less experienced. They are loaded with talented sophomores who received ample playing time last year after coming in as part of a huge freshmen football class. The group includes seven players that received starts in their first season at Thiel. Additionally, the team will be in its second year of its transition to a spread offense, a change that didn’t come easy early on in the season but showed signs of improvement as the year progressed. “Not only from a player standpoint but from a coaches’ standpoint, it took time for us to adjust to that transition. You throw on top of that we started a bunch of freshmen on offense, including our two quarterbacks, those are all things that added to our frustrations last year,” Reiser said. “Having a year under

our belts, having those guys back and with them going through the spring and learning and executing the offense, I think they have a better understanding of what we’re trying to accomplish.” When the team enters camp on August 13, it will have two solid options at quarterback. It is unclear which will start the season under center for the Tomcats, but Reiser says both Jared Soell and Andrew

terback, he will have two promising wideouts to throw the ball to as Nate Houpt and Ronnie Howard return for their sophomore seasons. They were one-two on the team in yards per reception last season, and Houpt had the team’s longest play from scrimmage with a 73-yard touchdown reception. Howard lined up as an inside receiver last year but will join Houpt on the outside this season. “Ronnie is an explosive athlete. We love to get him involved with the running game as well as the passing game,” Reiser said. Reiser was encouraged by the development of a number of other wide receivers in spring practices, including Zane Garza, Devin Wasylink, Dom Perella, Bill Frizzi, Matt Fedzen and Nate Blazevich.

Smith could be involved in the offense in one way or another. “They’re both too good of athletes to be standing on the sidelines,” Reiser said. “It will depend on how our incoming freshmen quarterbacks come along. If we have a guy that we feel very comfortable with at the backup position, that will allow us to be more flexible with Jared and Andrew.” The two sophomores split time at quarterback last season and offer different strengths for offensive coordinator Brad Paulson to utilize. Soell is a multi-threat player who led the team in passing yards, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns last year while Reiser says Smith has the stronger arm. Whoever gets the starting nod at quar-

In addition to the receiving corps, the Tomcats have a great passing option in tight end Kyle Turkalj. In his freshman season he quickly established himself as one of the top pass-catching tight ends in the conference, finishing tenth in the PAC in receptions per game. He earned an honorable mention all-PAC selection at the end of the season. “Kyle has to get better from a run blocking standpoint but he offers us so much with what he can do in our passing game that he is going to be valuable for us,” Reiser said. “ With him and senior E.J. Kruse, I feel very good about the tight ends we have returning.” Up front, senior offensive lineman David Mossa, an honorable selection on the all-PAC squad last season, leads the Tomcats. He is already a three-year letterwinner and is lauded by Reiser as the THIEL COLLEGE

team’s best lineman. Junior Mike Rasor and sophomore Andrew Enterline are also returning letterwinners on the offensive line while junior Aaron Parker received a lot of playing time and is expected to compete for one of the tackle positions. Also competing for spots on the offensive line are Jonathon Welsh, Rex Smith, Jordan Fortuna, John Beal, Adam Mott, Todd Harvey and Sam Naas. “That’s our goal. We want to be a team that’s able to run the football, we’re just doing it in a different way than in the past,” Reiser said. “We are expecting an attitude from our linemen that they want to be physical and we are trying to cultivate that now.” All coming off exceptional seasons statistically, Taylor, Dawes and Ludwig will be called upon to lead the defense. Taylor’s numbers last year are evidence of his ability to create havoc in the backfield. His 17.5 tackles for loss were second all-time in the Thiel record books while his seven sacks were tenth best all-time. “He is a relentless competitor who works extremely hard,” Reiser said. “I know come Aug. 13 he is going to be ready to roll.” Junior Kris Tursky and senior Joe Grech give the Tomcats three returning letterwinners on the defensive line. Other players looking to start or add depth up front are Bryce Whittingham, Jamaal Dorsey, David Palus, Berend Grube, Brian Davis and Dan Landowski. Grube made the move from tight end to defensive end midway through last season while Davis is returning from an injury. The strength of the defense for the 2011 FOOTBALL GUIDE

Tomcats may be the linebackers. Ludwig, a junior, led the team in tackles last season with 75 while Dawes was third on the squad with 56. The two combined for 18.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Nick Gargaro, one of just five seniors on defense, will get the chance to compete for a starting spot at linebacker. Others in the mix include Terry Gensel, Jason Miller and Scott Hawkins. Hainesworth will be a leader in the secondary this season after taking over a starting role at the beginning of his sophomore year. He had 37 tackles and two interceptions. Reiser cites his athletic ability for his potential as being one of the PAC’s top defensive backs. The secondary was rarely the same from game-to-game last season because of injuries, but three other players return with at least some starting experience. Bobby Hritz, a conference champion in the high jump during the track season, started some games at corner. Junior Hunter Liptrap and sophomore Julian McLean also had opportunities to start.

It’s still up in the air on who will take over the punting duties. As of now it is Soell, but obviously Reiser is hesitant to have one of his quarterbacks in that role. “He has progressed significantly at that position,” Reiser said. “Hopefully we have some young guys step up in that position so we can find a punter that isn’t one of our possible starting quarterbacks.” Thiel will once again open the season against Marietta. That game will be on the road and is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff. Widener will be the other nonconference game in week two. The only real difference in the schedule this year is that the Tomcats will have eight conference games now that Geneva is officially a member of the PAC. “Last year, our record didn’t indicate the type of team that we were,” Reiser said. “I think the attitude amongst our team is that they can’t wait to get back on the field for the fall of 2011 because they know that we are going to be much better.”

Derek Mellors had a good spring and could challenge at corner, as could John Amorose, Ryan Exler and Josh Stewart. Senior David Urey will look to get back on the field after an injury plagued two seasons. “You have to give that kid credit. He has done a good job of persevering through two knee injuries and has stuck it out,” Reiser said of Urey. At the specialty positions, Grube returns as the team’s starting kicker and will be backed up by Ken Burns. Reiser says if Grube can improve his accuracy he will be a valuable weapon for the team. 13

As the team’s offensive line coach from 2001 to 2006, Reiser mentored eight Tomcats to a combined 19 All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference selections. Two players – Dave Hendricks and Bob Munch – were four-time selections. In Thiel’s 11-win 2005 campaign, the Reiser-led offensive line played an integral part in securing the program’s first PAC title since 1972 and its first undefeated regular season since 1950. Five members of that unit were named to the AllPAC team, with two garnering first team honors. While Hendricks turned in one of the best seasons of all time for a Thiel offensive lineman, earning AFCA first team and D3 Football.com first team All-America honors in addition to being named the Don Hansen Football Gazette National Offensive Lineman of the Year and earning an invitation to participate in the Aztec Bowl, the O-line as a whole paved the way for a potent Tomcat attack.

most prolific quarterback-receiver duos in school history. After being named offensive coordinator prior to the 2007 season, Reiser has called the shots for several of the most impressive offensive displays in Thiel football annals. In his inaugural season as the Tomcats’ offensive play-caller, running back Dan Hess set three school records in one day, racking up 327 yards and 30 points on 43 rushes in a 62-14 drubbing of Saint Vincent College. The next season quarterback Willie Bova conducted a similar assault on Thiel passing records by completing 32 of 63 tosses for 374 yards (all three are school records). Prior to arriving at Thiel, Reiser was the offensive coordinator at Leyden High School in Chicago for six years. A 1993 Allegheny graduate, he earned his master’s degree from DePaul University in 1997. With the Gators, where he played under then-assistant coach Leipheimer, Reiser was a three-year starter at tight end and was a two-time All-NCAC selection and an All-American. Reiser was also a starter on the Gators’ 1990 National Championship team. He and his wife, Nancy, have three children: Ben, Ethan, and Ellie.

Over the course of the 2005 season, Reiser’s line allowed only seven sacks in the regular season and aided in establishing Steve Minton as the school’s alltime leading rusher and Darrell Satterfield and Brandon Chambers as one of the

THIEL COLLEGE

What

are your expectations for this season?

Our focus this season is to continue to improve each day. We do not have a specific number of wins or a win-loss record in mind as a goal. We want to focus on getting better each day and competing on a daily basis. As long as we maintain this focus, our football program will continue to grow and get better. We had a very good spring in all areas and I believe our players are looking forward to the 2011 season.

Q&A How

did the team look in

practices?

with

Coach Reiser Spring

We focused on a couple of things this spring. One is we have to get faster and we have to get stronger. I think we did that with our strength and conditioning program. We spent a lot of time talking to the guys about nutrition and making a commitment to changing their bodies. We had guys who did a great job with that. We wanted to attack the spring with the right attitude and that was that in 2010 our record didn’t indicate the type of team that we are, that we are better than the record showed. I think the attitude amongst our team is that they can’t wait to get back on the field for the Fall of 2011 because they know that we are going to be much better. They’re excited about that and they’re looking forward to the opportunity to get better. I think that because of what we did with leadership development and how guys have stepped up to become leaders in our football program that we are going to be better off. Having good leadership is vital to a team’s success. Captains

won’t be selected until

fall practice, but can you describe the importance this role plays?

Captains are an important part of the football team. It’s one of the highest honors a player can get, being voted a captain by your teammates. Whoever those guys are have to fill a big role for us. Anybody on our team can be a leader. The more leaders we have on the field at any given time, offensively or defensively, the better we’re going to be. We talked a lot about that this spring with our players, about stepping up

2011 FOOTBALL GUIDE

and being a leader on and off the field.

you started a lot of freshmen last season, especially on offense. how

important is that full year of experience for those players?

Last year I made the decision to transition from a Pro I style of offense to a spread type of offense. We brought in Brad Paulson as offensive coordinator to implement the spread. Not only from a player standpoint but from a coaching standpoint, it took time for us to adjust to that. You throw on top of that we started a bunch of freshmen on offense, including our two quarterbacks, those are all things that compounded or added to our frustrations last year. So having a year under our belts, having those guys back and with them going through the spring and learning and executing the offense, I think they have a better understanding of what we’re trying to accomplish. The way we look at it is typically in a football program freshmen don’t get a chance to start, and we had several freshmen start right off the bat last year. We look at those guys now and don’t really think of them as sophomores. They should almost be looking at themselves as juniors as far as experience is concerned. We’re ecstatic about having guys back who started for us last year. In the beginning of the season we struggled to move the football and score points, which in turn takes its toll on us not just offensively but with defense and field position. I think later in the year we were able to put points on the board. We were excited about that because with that came some confidence from our young guys. They saw that the hard work and the things we had done early in the season

had started to take hold later in the season. Maybe not quickly enough and not as much as we would have liked, but we saw improvement and that’s why we’re excited about this coming fall. You

have some local players who

made an impact last season. what does that do for your team in this area?

It’s great to have some local kids like Ronnie Howard, Ryan Dawes and Nate Houpt having an impact here at Thiel. I think some of the kids who are coming up through the local schools will see that and hopefully that will help us build more recruiting ties in the area. For

the second straight year you

have a large recruiting class. What does that mean for the program?

The coaches have done an outstanding job again. For the second straight year we have 70-plus recruits coming in and will have a roster of 125-130 kids. That’s significant to us. Our goal is to continue to build our program so that each year we graduate 25-30 seniors from our football team. If we do that and we have good character guys who are good students and are good football players that stay in our football program for four years, that will bring more success. That’s what we’re focused on as a coaching staff.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

A coaching veteran of 34 years — including 25 at the collegiate level — Leipheimer returned to Thiel as its head football coach in 2001 and promptly guided the program to national prominence. His 2005 team compiled an 11-1 record and drew two NCAA playoff games to Alumni Stadium in Greenville. Over his eight seasons at the helm of the football program, Leipheimer amassed 36 wins – which ties for third most all-time in school history — including an NCAA Division III playoff win in 2005. Under his tutelage, Thiel players earned 114 all-conference selections, 17 all-region players and 10 all-America selections. He also coached five ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans – a testament to his emphasis on academic excellence. Leipheimer continues to stress the importance of academic and athletic success to Thiel’s student-athletes as he oversees the day-to-day operations of the athletic department. In addition, he will focus on fund-raising efforts in support of Thiel’s athletics program which includes more than 20 coaches and staff members and over 300 student-athletes. Leipheimer was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter at tight end, earning All-PAC accolades in 1973. He was a member of the 1972 squad that registered the college’s second PAC title with a 6-1 conference mark. He was also a three-year letter winner with the Tomcat baseball squad, playing both catcher and first base. Before arriving at Thiel he served as an assistant coach at Allegheny College for 17 years, with the last 12 seasons as the defensive coordinator. He began his coaching career in 1975 as the offensive coordinator at the Bullis School, Potomac, Md. He then served as the defensive coordinator at Trinity High School, Garfield Heights, Ohio, from 1976-1978, and as head coach of the former Kennedy Christian High School, now Kennedy Catholic, Hermitage, Pa., from 1979-1984. During his 12 seasons as Allegheny’s defensive play-caller (1989-2000), the Gators tallied an impressive overall record of 106-23-1, including 22 shutouts. Leipheimer’s defensive schemes helped the Gators win the NCAA Division III National Championship in 1990, and six North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championships. At Allegheny Leipheimer coached 70 All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) defensive players, 43 of whom were named to the first team and 22 defensive All-Americans. Jack and his wife, Patti, reside in Greenville. They have two daughters: Shanna Bossler, a 2002 Thiel graduate and Krista Ferguson, a 2005 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.

2009 in Review

SEASON IN REVIEW GAME ONE

Marietta 27 Thiel 7 GREENVILLE, Pa. (Sept. 4, 2010) – Five interceptions helped Marietta College top Thiel College 28-7 at Alumni Stadium, giving the Pioneers a season-opening win over the Tomcats for the second straight year. The two teams were stuck in a 7-7 stalemate after three quarters before Marietta broke away with some big plays in the final frame. The first, a 70-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Keller to Jahmaal Jones in the first minute of the fourth quarter put the Pioneers up for good. Trailing 14-7, the Tomcats quickly moved into Pioneer territory with a 49-yard pass from freshman Andrew Smith to Tyler DeJong, but the drive stalled following two short runs, a false start penalty and an incomplete pass. Thiel lined up to punt but a bad snap forced a broken play that resulted in a 52-yard interception return for a touchdown by Marietta’s Joe WIlliams. Another interception for a touchdown, this time a 16-yard score by Robert Brown with 3:38 left in the game, put the Pioneers up 28-7. For three quarters it appeared the game might go down to the wire. Marietta struck first with a 55-yard run by Keller late in the first quarter. Keller, who also had a big game against the Tomcats in 2009, finished with 62 yards on the ground and threw for 106 yards and a score. Thiel had a chance to tie the game at the end of the first half. The defense gave the Tomcats good field position with Ryan Dawes’ fumble recovery at the Marietta 23-yard line. After a pair of first downs, the Tomcats faced a thirdand-goal from the 2-yard line when freshman Jared Soell’s pass across the middle was picked off in the end zone. The defense continued its solid play in the third quarter and the young offense showed improvement as well with a 12-play, gametying touchdown drive. The drive, which went 51 yards, was capped by a 3-yard run by Ross Gargano. GAME TWO

Widener 21 Thiel 0 Chester, Pa. (Sept. 11, 2010) – Thiel dropped to 0-2 on the season with a 21-0 loss in a non-conference football game with Widener. The Pride scored all 21 of their points in the first half with Brendan Curran running for a 23-yard score in the first quarter and Colin

Masterson plunging in from one yard out in the second quarter. Masterson connected with wideout Justin Horning for a 37-yard touchdown with under four minutes left in the first half. Thiel’s defense stepped up in the second half to hold Widener scoreless, but the young Tomcat offense struggled to advance the ball. The Tomcats finished with 54 yards on the ground and 83 through the air. A positive for the Tomcats was their improvement on taking care of the ball, especially through the air. After throwing five interceptions in the opener, Thiel’s Jared Soell and Andrew Smith, both freshmen, combined to complete 18-of-32 passes without an interception. Soell, who took the majority of the team’s snaps at quarterback, was also the team leader with 48 rushing yards while Justin Wazelle ran 12 times for 25 yards. Defensively, the Tomcats’ Bobby Shew recorded a team-high eight tackles, including one for a loss. Tim Taylor and William Haase each tallied a sack while Joseph Grech recovered a fumble.

Geneva 34 Thiel 20 GREENVILLE, Pa. (Oct. 30, 2010) – Thiel’s offense played its best game of the season but a second-half scoring outburst by Geneva led to a 34-20 Tomcat loss in a non-conference football game at Alumni Stadium. Two Berend Grube field goals put the Tomcats up 6-0 at the half. The first kick was good from 34 yards out and capped a 15-play, 63-yard drive while the second was a 31-yard kick that finished off a 13-play, 66-yard drive. The first scoring drive included two nice plays by Jared Soell and Eric Petrovich, both freshman who had their best games of the season. On the drive’s first play, Petrovich broke loose for a 24-yard run. Six plays later the running back caught a 13-yard pass from Soell. The drive was also aided by a Geneva offsides penalty on a Thiel punt, resulting in a first down. Soell provided more offense in the second scoring drive, breaking off runs of nine and 35 yards in addition to a 13-yard completion to Ronnie Howard. Soell finished the game with 196 yards and a touchdown through the air while also rushing for 101 yards on 17 carries. Petrovich also went over the century mark in all-purpose yards with 96 on the ground and 40 receiving. Despite breakout games by multiple players on offense, the Tomcats couldn’t get the win thanks to a great second half by the Golden Tornadoes’ Gerard Muschette, one of the most explosive running backs in the conference (Geneva was a provisional member of the PAC). After being kept relatively quiet in the first half, Muschette came out a different player in the second half. Following a five-yard touchdown pass from David Girardi to Corey O’Patchen early in the third quarter, Muschette scored three straight touchdowns to help put the game out of reach. He finished the game with an astounding 302 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries and added a fourth touchdown on a reception. Trailing 27-6, Thiel gave itself a chance to make a comeback. Soell connected with Nate Houpt on a 73-yard touchdown pass. Grube’s extra point cut the lead to 27-13. But, Muschette came through again with a 24-yard scoring run to make it 34-13. The Golden Tornado running back’s other rushing touchdowns came on runs of 12 and 70 yards. Thiel completed the scoring with a 3-yard [continued on page 50]

SEASON IN REVIEW [CONTINUED] touchdown run by freshman Derrell McCaleb with 2:42 remaining in the game. Aside from the loss, it was a promising game for the Tomcats, who held a lead for the first time this season and set numerous seasonhighs, including points, rushing yards (197), passing yards (236) and total yards (433). Howard led the Tomcats in receiving with 62 yards on four catches. DeJong had 42 yards on three receptions and Houpt caught two passes for 80 yards. Ethan Ludwig and Tim Taylor continued to put up good number defensively for Thiel. Ludwig finished with 11 tackles, including one for a loss, while Taylor, who entered the game as the conference leader in tackles for loss, tallied six tackles, two for a loss, and 1.5 sacks. Jeff Oblisk added four tackles and teamed with Taylor for a sack. William Haase had two tackles for loss. GAME NINE

W&J 47 Thiel 14 GREENVILLE, Pa. (Nov. 6, 2010) – Playing in their final home game of the season, the Tomcats fell to Washington & Jefferson 47-14 in a PAC football game. Despite the loss, Thiel continued its offensive improvement by racking up 345 yards, including 259 through the air.

Three different W&J quarterbacks threw for a touchdown. Starter Geno Rometo threw for 206 yards and two scores while Andrew Cappucci and Steven Shumaker threw one touchdown pass apiece. Jordan Roycroft was on the receiving end of a large chunk of the Presidents’ passing plays, finishing with eight catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Grove City finished with an impressive 467-177 advantage in total yards, which included a 392115 edge in rushing yards. Grove City’s Blaine Miller saved his best effort of the season for the passionate rivalry game between the Tomcats and the Wolverines, finishing with 225 yards on 33 carries and a pair of touchdowns (3, 58). Thiel, down 21-0 with the second quarter quickly coming to a close, registered its first points of the day as quarterback Jared Soell connected with tight end Kyle Turkalj on an impressive 20-yard pitch-and-catch with 1:38 to play in the half to cut the Wolverine lead to 21-7. The four-play scoring drive encompassed 63 yards and took just 1:27 off of the clock. An interception by Tomcat free safety Marshaun Hainesworth that was returned to the Grove City 23-yard line all the way from the Tomcat 20 led to an eight-yard scoring scamper by Soell with 9:57 to go in the third, trimming the Wolverine lead to just seven, 21-14. Grove City wasted little time in supplying a response as Miller carried seven-straight times on the ensuing drive, running in his first score of the day from three yards out to extend the Wolverine’s lead back to 14, 28-14. Soell’s quick feet led to the Tomcats’ third scoring drive of the afternoon as he converted

a second-and-goal play from eight yards out to bring the visiting Tomcats back to within seven, 28-21. A missed 24-yard field goal by Grove City’s Craig Bicehouse sandwiched between a pair of Tomcat punts led to a Grove City drive with 4:44 remaining from their own 39-yard line. Miller’s third down, 58-yard scoring run with 3:11 to play pushed the Wolverine lead to the eventual final of 35-21. Brian Pell led an efficient Grove City offense, completing eight-of-13 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 38 yards and a score.

Thiel College is a liberal arts, sciences and professional studies baccalaureate degreegranting college located on a beautiful 135acre, tree-lined campus in the heart of western Pennsylvania’s hill country. The College is only a 90-minute drive from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Erie—close enough for ready access to “big city” culture, yet distant enough to be safe and free from distractions. Thiel is dedicated to helping you discover and develop your gifts and abilities in order to achieve your dreams. It’s a place where professors are highly accessible and involved in your growth and learning, not only because of our low student-to-faculty ratio, but because they really care. Our small size makes it possible for you to stand out—both in and out of class. You can become a leader of one—or more—of our 24 intercollegiate sports teams or more than 50 organizations, clubs and honor societies. Thiel is committed to the integration of technology in the learning environment, as evidenced by our technology-enhanced smart classrooms and facilities and wireless computing throughout the campus. We also provide notebook computers to every student. Thiel is a place where your mind, body and spirit can grow and develop. Along with our strong academics, Thiel provides a fitness center that offers strength training machines, cardiovascular equipment and aerobics space. Alumni Stadium, our multi-sport complex, is where our student athletes compete—on high-quality synthetic turf—while the entire community cheers them on. Student residences vary from traditional dorms to apartment buildings that allow for transitional living. The Howard Miller Student Center features a beautiful rotunda with a cafe snack bar, the campus bookstore, post office, art gallery and various student services offices, including the campus pastor. In 2006, Thiel’s first freestanding worship space, the David Johnson Memorial Chapel, was dedicated. In 2007, new baseball and softball fields at Tomcat Park were finished, and the state-of-the-art William A. Robinson Theater as well as new chemistry and neuroscience labs were dedicated. Also, the Center for Learning and Advising opened, funded through a federal Title III grant, providing academic and career guidance to all students.

A Historic Campus...

At the Pittsburgh Synod convention in Greensburg in 1869, it was decided that Thiel Hall would become a college and serve western Pennsylvania. Thiel College began its corporate existence on September 1, 1870, at Phillipsburg, where it stayed until Greenville submitted an elaborate proposal to have the college moved to the Mercer County community. With a population of 1,848 in 1870, Greenville offered splendid north/south and east/west rail transportation, strong local patronage, exemplary moral and religious conditions and a pledge of $10,000 cash, five acres of land and use of a large academy building. Thiel College was initially housed in the Union or Central School, made available by the Greenville School Board. The cornerstone for Greenville Hall (pictured left), the first building on campus, was laid on August 15, 1872, while the dedication took place in conjunction with Thielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first commencement, June 25, 1874.

Academic Excellence

Thiel College is committed to the total educational and personal development of all Tomcat student-athletes.

Media & Opponent Information

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself. The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent. Saint Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the conference as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in 2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Chatham College became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-08. The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2008-09, the conference had 41 teams represent the conference in postseason play, including 23 in NCAA Championship events. PAC championship teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA Division III national championship events. All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships. The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson College men and WestminsterCollege women captured the 2008-09 trophies (see below). True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the league named 602 student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.

Washington & Jefferson Men, Grove City Women Capture 2010-11 PAC All-Sports Trophies WEXFORD, Pa. – The Washington & Jefferson College men and Grove City College women each captured the 2010-11 PAC All-Sports Trophies. The all-sports trophies are awarded annually to the schools which perform the best across the board in league competition. First-place finishes are worth nine points (eight for men), second place is worth eight points (seven for men) ... last place is worth one point. 2010-11 MEN’S ALL SPORTS TROPHY FINAL STANDINGS 1.
