“Playing for UK was on the best experiences I ever had. Playing soccer, the school and the friends I made will be something I will never forget or would ever trade for another school. It really prepared for the next level. We had a bluecollar mentality and we didn't take anything for granted. UK was a launching pad for my professional career.” — Andy Gruenebaum Former Kentucky standout goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum became the first former UK player to win a Major League Soccer Championship, helping lead the Columbus Crew to the 2008 MLS Cup. Gruenebaum, who starred at UK from 2002-05, functioned as the backup goalkeeper for the Crew during the 2008 season, The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder, has played in 23 career MLS games, with a 1.41 goals-against average. After helping the Crew to the championship last season, Gruenebaum has seen an increased role in the 2009 campaign, starting nine games and leading the team with a 1.12 goals-against average. While at Kentucky, Gruenebaum re-wrote the UK goalkeeping record book, shattering the career record for saves and tying the mark for shutouts. He is the only player in school history to post back-to-back goals against averages below 1.00, doing so an incredible three straight years while earning first-team allconference honors each season, in addition to preseason AllAmerican accolades. Gruenebaum was the first keeper selected in the 2005 MLS Draft, going third-overall to the Crew.

Study Room

Tutoring Sessions

The University of Kentucky has made a commitment to put the student-athlete at the heart of the program. The cornerstone of that commitment lies in the academic success of the University’s studentathletes. At UK, that success stems from the resources within the Ohio Casualty Group’s Center for Academic and Tutorial Services (CATS). UK opened CATS in 1981, the nation’s first academic center dedicated exclusively to studentathletes. Over the years, as the services offered by CATS have grown, so did the need for additional space. As a result, UK built a new facility - the Ohio Casualty Center for Academic and Tutorial Services, thanks to a one-million dollar grant from the Ohio Casualty Insurance Group. The Ohio Casualty Center opened in 1998 at a total cost of $2.4 million. Much of the credit for UK’s academic success goes to the Athletics Association’s academic support system - the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services, or simply, “CATS.” CATS, constructed in Memorial Coliseum, includes: • 20,000 square feet of space - more than double the size of the former CATS facility; • a computer room housing 35 computers; • a study area which accommodates 90-100 people; • 24 tutoring rooms; • a career development and life skills resource center; • a community outreach office; and • offices for the staff.

“There are not many schools across the country that can boast of having an academic facility like the CATS Center. CATS shows that the University of Kentucky is committed to having its student-athletes succeed not only on the playing field, but in the classroom and in life as well.” — Coach Ian Collins Career Development

MIKE HALEY DIRECTOR OF ADVISING SERVICES Mike Haley is in his 22nd year working with student-athletes in the CATS center, working directly with men’s and women’s soccer, tennis and gymnastics. Haley has a Bachelor's degree in Education and a master's in Sports Administration from the University of Kentucky.

For the CATS staff, showing you care means more than helping athletes maintain eligibility, graduate, or win awards. The academics staff also prepares student-athletes for life after college with the Wildcat Career Development Program. The Career Development Program helps student-athletes look to the future through a step-by-step process which includes: • mentoring and internships, which help determine career interests; • career counseling; • resume writing; and • forming a career plan. The Wildcat Career Development Program works closely with the University’s Career Planning and Placement Center in order to provide additional assistance when needed.

Certainly, a facility is a good start, but any program - especially in academics is only as good as the people who run it. And UK is fortunate to have outstanding leaders in its academics support system. Bob Bradley, Associate Athletics Director for Student Services, oversees the CATS program. Bradley was named National Academic Advisor of the Year in 1989 and 1992. In 2000 he was selected as the CHAMPS Life Skills Coordinator of the Year by the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Directors Association. “We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished in the academic arena,” Bradley said. “The CATS program is focused on winning in the classroom. We look at each student-athlete’s individual needs, set goals, and develop strategies to attain those goals. The center provides our student-athletes with a definite advantage over student-athletes at many other institutions. Our goal is to show that we care about the student as well as the athlete.”

The University of Kentucky is committed to providing its student-athletes with the very best in athletics facilities. The UK Soccer Complex is evidence of that dedication. The stadium, which opened in late 1996, is part of a complex that houses a game field, a practice field, locker rooms and a training room. Since its opening, the Complex has played host to some of the largest crowds to see MAC and C-USA soccer action, including the 1998 MAC Tournament. UK also hosted the 1999 and 2001 MAC Championship games, which the Wildcats won to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The first round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament was played in front of more than 1,500 fans as UK advanced over Cincinnati in penalty kicks in a thrilling finish. In 2007, UK welcomed 2,307 fans for a rivalry game with Louisville and a year later, UK welcomed 1,988 fans for a 2-1 win over Michigan. The stadium features grandstand seating for more than 1,500 fans on the sideline. A new student section, dubbed “The Big Blue Wall” was added in the north endzone prior to the 2004 season. The section is one of the most raucous in all of the nation.

The stadium’s capacity can exceed 3,000 with temporary seating. In fact, Kentucky’s record crowd of 3,327 was set in the 2005 season opener as the Wildcats beat rival Louisville, 1-0 in front of a standing-room only crowd. The grandstand also houses a spacious press box for use by the media and professional scouts who visit UK. The Complex features a lighted international regulation-sized playing field of lush Bermuda grass. The surface is a modified sand-based field with an in-ground irrigation system for drainage of rainwater and a sprinkler system that allows the UK grounds crew to keep the field in top playing condition throughout the year. The system makes the field safer and more playable in a rain-soaked game. The combination of sandy soil and irrigation allows UK grounds keepers to maintain a healthy and vigorous playing surface. The field is mowed every day with a mower designed for golf fairways, which results in a field that rivals those of professional soccer.

The University of Kentucky is commited to providing the finest training facilities to its programs.

The University of Kentucky Athletics Department is at the forefront of college athletics in terms of indoor practice facilities. Along with the UK Soccer Complex, UK also boasts the Nutter Field House, an $8.5 million climate-controlled structure that is used for winter conditioning. The indoor facility features an artificial turf football playing field of 108,000 square feet, surrounded by a six-lane, 290-meter track. One of the most unique features of this 132,000-square foot, multi-million dollar showplace is the electronic netting system. The system allows for different combinations of sports to practice safely and simultaneously by dividing the playing field into multiple practice areas. During the fall season, the men’s soccer team has priority for training during inclement weather.

“The Nutter Field House is such a boost to our program. The indoor field gives us a great place to work out in the winter and the padded turf is a lot easier on our players’ bodies. And with the netting system, we can have space any time we want it.” — Coach Ian Collins 13

UK boasts some of the best facilities in the nation, highlighted by a spacious locker room and team lounge. The multi-purpose center at the Soccer Complex houses a training room, ticket office, concession stand, player lounge and locker rooms. The facility serves both student-athletes and UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many fans. The spacious UK locker room contains lockers for each of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players as well as a private showering area. The lounge includes a new plasma TV, spacious couches and a bevy of video games.

In collegiate athletics, there is no substitute for proper health care and medical treatment. Kentucky is blessed to have one of the finest training staffs in the nation, which includes six full-time athletic trainers as well as graduate assistants and student assistants. The trainers also work closely with team physicians and a variety of consultants that cover every medical specialty. Altogether, the medical staff handles the needs of athletes in all 22 sports at UK. The UK athletic trainers work in an outstanding facility. The Nutter Center training room covers more than 5,000 square feet and includes ample space for taping and treatment. Inside the training room is a modern rehabilitation area and whirlpool therapy area, as well as physicians’ and trainers’ offices. The latest addition to the training room is the “Swim-Ex,” a state-of-the-art aquatic therapy system that is used for the rehabilitation of injuries.

Walter McCombs Senior Athletic Trainer

“Walt McCombs is a backbone of our program. He has been here since day one and is an unbelievable resource.” — Coach Ian Collins 15

The Kentucky soccer team calls Shively Training Center its home for strength and conditioning. The 2,000-square foot complex is under the direction of Coach John Spurlock and features a variety of free weight equipment, which complements the training philosophy of the Shively staff. The primary focus of the facility is the development of core strength using ground-based, multi-joint lifting through use of the Olympic lifts. By incorporating this explosive style of lifting, athletes become more powerful, resulting in an increase in speed. The core of the athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body also is trained and complemented with a variety of lifts, including squats, lunges, plyometrics, presses, pulls, trunk rotation and abdominal exercise. Through the combination of these exercises, the athletes are better able to reach their goals. Another major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning. This facet of training is organized through different types of footwork patterns, drills and linear fit-

UK TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

ness. While nearly all of UK’s Olympic sports teams train at Shively, they also take part in “Speed School,” a twice-weekly seven-week training session in Nutter Field House. With the help of staff nutritionists, the Shively staff also helps educate the athletes on nutrition and supplement awareness. Every squad trains together at Shively, promoting team chemistry and teamwork. Through this set-up, teams work on mental toughness, attacking goals and maintaining a positive attitude, keeping everyone moving toward a common goal.

1. Development of core strength. Imagine the body as a 3-link chain with the head and arms being one link, the torso / trunk being the second link and the legs being the third link. If the core (trunk / torso) link is weak or inflexible, there is little chance of maximizing potential because all body movements stem from the core.

2. Train using ground-based, multi-joint lifting versus machine lifting. Most athletes participate in stand up power sports using many muscle groups at once. The emphasis of training should be on total body athleticism and flexibility rather than having body weight supported by a machine and forcing isolation of just one muscle group. By incorporating groundbased lifts and exercises that focus on the total body, the athlete becomes more prepared to use their whole body in sport skills.

3. Train for power (which results in increased speed). Power = (Mass Moved x Distance) / Time The less time it takes to move a mass a certain distance, the higher the output. As seen in the above formula, an increase in speed of movement results in an increase in power.

4. Train athleticism. Many factors are included in athleticism: strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, coordination, fitness level and mental toughness are just a few. It is the goal to maximize an athlete’s overall athleticism.

JOHN SPURLOCK

5. Train as a team.

ASSISTANT STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH

When teams train together, it provides another opportunity to develop chemistry, teamwork, leadership skills and a competitive environment. Within this competitive environment, teams can work on mental toughness, attacking the weights and maintaining a positive attitude. By enabling athletes to work on these things as a team, it helps to promote a stronger sense of unity, therefore making it harder to “fold” under pressure.

John Spurlock is in his first season as the strength and conditioning coach for the men’s soccer team. He also works with women’s soccer, men’s and women’s sprinters and hurdlers, as well as assisting with 10 other varsity teams. Spurlock, a native of Fairfield, Ohio, came to UK from the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and a certified strength and conditioning coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association. Spurlock is also certified by USA Weightlifting as a Sports Performance Coach. He competes in Olympic weightlifting and was the 2008 Ohio State champion in the 77 kilogram weight class. Spurlock earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Hanover College in 2005. While at Hanover, he was a wide receiver on the football team. He is scheduled to complete his master’s degree in Kinesiology from UK in December 2009. Spurlock resides in Lexington.

6. Make workouts short and intense. There are many philosophies on how to get athletes stronger, faster and more flexible. But, when combined, all these philosophies have the same 3 underlying principles: 1. The workouts should be highly organized; 2. The workouts should be short in duration; 3. The workouts should be extremely intense. The following are recommendations for athletes concerning days and times of strength training (including warmups): • In-season: 2-4 days /week; 25-45 mins /workout; • Post-season: 3-4 days /week; 45-60 mins /workout; • Pre-season: 3-4 days /week; 30-60 mins /workout.

In the spring of 2003, UK Athletics held the first CATSPY Awards. A spin-off of the popular ESPY's held by ESPN every summer, the CATSPY's honor the academic and athletic achievements of UK's studentathletes from all 22 varsity sports. This year the University of Kentucky Athletics Association presented 25 honors at the sixth-annual CATSPY Awards, held in April at Memorial Coliseum to recognize athletic and academic performance during the 2008-09 year. With co-winners in some categories, a total of seven teams and 25 individuals were recognized. Jay Crawford of ESPN and Christi Thomas of WKYT served as co-hosts of the event.

Among the benefits that student-athletes enjoy are significant learning experiences that teach important life lessons. None is more important than learning to return that benefit to individuals in the community that have supported and cheered the student-athlete, win or lose. The University of Kentucky has a community outreach program that, when initiated more than 15 years ago, was intended to provide support for young people. The program was viewed as a “one-way” effort with the student-athlete giving and the community and schools receiving. But as the “Cats That Care” program has grown, one of the most notable results is what the student-athletes learn about themselves – they really do receive by giving. The athletic department’s community outreach program began in 1990 when, in cooperation with the College of Education, UK student-athletes “adopted” the fifth-grade class at a local school. The program matched UK student-athletes one-on-one with school children, who in turn, set goals while the student-athletes monitored their progress and assisted the children in achieving their stated objectives. The program was highly successful and continues today. “Cats That Care” has expanded and now includes many worthwhile projects, including:

Celebrity Hospital Visitor

Ronald McDonald House

Student-athletes visit patients at local hospitals, including rehabilitation facilities and veterans hospitals.

Student-athletes volunteer to bake dessert items for the families staying here who have a child in the hospital. They also help clean up the ground and take time to clean the inside of the House as well.

Cats Cultivating Character Student-athletes teach character lessons twice a month to third grade students at a local elementary school.

Mentoring Student-athletes serve as role models for many elementary and middle school students. As a mentor, they help younger students develop self esteem and promote academic success through weekly interaction.

Hospital Breakfast with Santa Each year, UK student-athletes assist the UK Children’s Hospital with a special Christmas breakfast for children at the hospital.

Kentucky Excel Mentor Program UK student-athletes serve as mentors for high school students participating in the program. It provides scholarships for students who complete the program.

UK Children’s Hospital Student-athletes volunteer at least once a month to play games and visit with the patients.

School Speaker Student-athletes visit a number of local schools, speaking to children on a variety of topics, including the importance of an education, staying off drugs and promoting reading.

Boys and Girls Club Student-athletes mentor and interact with children and young adults on a weekly basis. They also volunteer for various holiday activities, such as the “Mountain of Love.”

Food Drive Student-athletes organize a food drive that benefits God’s Pantry.

Great Leaps Program Student-athletes volunteer on a weekly basis at various elementary schools to help students become better readers.

Hope Center The Hope Center is a shelter for men serving the Lexington-Fayette County area. Student-Athletes volunteer at least once a month to serve lunch and/or dinner to those currently staying at the center.

Salvation Army During the holiday season student-athletes volunteer their time ringing bells for the “Red Kettle Campaign” to help raise money. Students also purchase small gifts to stuff in Christmas stockings to be distributed to local families in need.

Lexington is one of the nation’s top five college sports towns as selected by Forbes magazine. The University of Kentucky is the center of attention! LEXINGTON AT A GLANCE Location: Within a day’s drive of 75% of the U.S. population.

Though the quote below came from one of Kentucky’s favorite sons, any one of the millions of visitors to the Bluegrass State each year might nod in agreement. Kentucky embodies the very essence of America, from majestic mountains and forests to vast sparkling lakes, from rolling acres of farm and pastureland to the hustle and bustle of metropolitan centers. And around every turn in the road, Kentucky’s colorful past, which helped shape our country’s character, is preserved and maintained for all to enjoy. The result is a state so diverse in travel and recreational opportunities that one is hardpressed to name its equal. If asked to describe Kentucky, one word that quickly comes to mind is horses. The Bluegrass region of Lexington and central Kentucky is internationally recognized as the Horse Capital of the World. Lexington is at the heart of the Bluegrass and it preserves the romantic tradition of the horse farms and is the hub of the multi-billion-dollar horse industry. Kentucky also is a land steeped in the rich history of our nation. Legendary pioneer Daniel Boone laid out Kentucky’s second settlement at Fort Boonesborough and nearby, a hundred years later, the Shaker religious sect prospered at picturesque Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. Abraham Lincoln was born in Hodgenville (the oneroom cabin is part of a National Historic Site). The plantation home that inspired Stephen Foster to write “My Old Kentucky Home” still stands at a state park of the same name. And the region that 200 years ago gave birth to one of Kentucky’s most famous exports, bourbon whiskey, is dotted with world-famous distilleries.

HEAD COACH • 15TH YEAR AT UK

IAN COLLINS P H Y S I C A L . T O U G H . H A R D - N O S E D . S T I N G Y. Those are just a few of the adjectives that could be used to describe Kentucky men’s soccer head coach Ian Collins’ teams. Now entering his 15th season at the helm of the program, one word stands out among all others when describing Collins’ teams – winners. A three-time conference coach of the year, Collins has transformed the UK program into an annual contender from the ground up, taking over in 1994 and running up 168 career wins and a winning percentage hovering just under 60 percent. Known for having teams at UK that utilize a stingy, shutdown defense, Collins’ clubs take on the personality of its coach, showcasing a emphasis on physicality, toughness and a neverquit attitude. Collins, a native of Bridge North, England, came to UK after spending three years at St. John's University in Jamaica, N.Y. Since arriving, Collins has formed Kentucky into a runaway powerhouse in the Mid-American Conference and an annual contender in the rugged Conference USA. Collins paced UK through a decade of dominance in the MAC, posting a 4413-4 record from 1995-2004, winning a staggering 75 percent of its contests and a total of seven regular season and tournament titles. After solidifying itself as the team-to-beat in the MAC, Collins oversaw a critical transition into CUSA for Kentucky in 2004. Since the transition, Collins hasn’t allowed the program to do anything but win, winning 70 percent of its league matches and finishing among the top three in the conference for three of four seasons in the league. In a conference packed with mid-continent titans SMU and Tulsa, Kentucky has stepped right into the fray, finishing second in the CUSA regular season in 2006 and 2008, posting a third-place finish in 2007 – a season that saw the UK team crippled with injury. After a 3-4-2 league run in 2005, UK’s first season in the conference, Collins guided UK to a stellar 2006 campaign. In 2006, the Wildcats won 14 games, their second highest total ever and finished in second place in C-USA -- one point behind SMU, which was ranked No. 1 all season long. Along with the wins in 2006 came national recognition as UK returned to the top 25 after a one-year absence, reaching as high as No. 13, the best in school annals. Kentucky also returned to dominance at home in 2006, posting a school-record 10-1 mark at the UK Soccer Complex in 2006, 26

including a stunning 1-0 double-overtime victory over sixth-ranked South Carolina. The Wildcats were the third-most improved team in the nation during the 2006 campaign, going 14-5-2 after a 6-7-6 campaign in 2005. However, that year, while not up to Kentucky standards, a young UK squad suffered six onegoal losses, including two in overtime. After losing two of the more prolific offensive players in the history of the program to professional soccer in 2006, Collins was faced with one of the more challenging coaching jobs of his career in 2007, as UK was hit with a crippling injury bug, losing as many as 14 players from the regular-playing rotation. Collins was left to pick up the pieces, turning future All-American defender Barry Rice into one of UK’s lone goal-scoring threats on set pieces and grinding out a 5-3, third-place finish in the league, including the first win over a top-ranked team in school annals, a come-from behind 2-1 win over No. 1 SMU. Enter the 2008 season and another amazing coaching job from Collins, as the Wildcats posted 12 wins and a final No. 21 national ranking. Collins directed UK to a second-place finish in the conference, going 6-1-1 and advancing to the championship game of the C-USA Tournament. After falling behind early, UK rallied to even the game and force the decisive penalty kicks, eventually losing 4-2 in penalties. Despite the penaltykick decider, UK ended the season on a schoolrecord 10-match unbeaten streak and when the NCAA selection committee made its picks the following Monday, UK was the only team ranked in the top 25 to not get a dancing card. With the disappointment of the finale to the 2008 season comes a sense of excitement for the 2009 campaign, as the trio of captains that led UK to 12 wins a year ago return with hopes of punching UK’s dance ticket in November. While the teams coached by Collins over the last two decades have had a lot of success, his individual tutelage has shined bright, with a total of three players earning All-America honors – including Rice, a 2008 second-team selection. A total of 29 players have earned All-Region honors since 1994 and since UK joined C-USA in 2005, 19 players have earned All-Conference USA recognition. While in the MAC, 44 of Collins’ student-athletes earned All-MAC accolades, directing three players to MAC Player of the Year honors. In addition to producing outstanding teams, Collins has shaped outstanding student-athletes as well. Collins' players have excelled in the

Career Record: 191-144-41 (.563), 18 years Record at UK: 168-109-32 (.595), 15 years classroom, resulting in 44 MAC Academic Honor Roll and 111 Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll selections – since 1998 – as well as four academic All-Americans. Since joining C-USA in 2005, 67 student-athletes have earned C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll accolades. Three times since 2005, UK soccer has been honored as the top academic athletic team at the annual Kentucky CATSPY Awards and four times since 2000 UK has been awarded the NSCAA Team Academic Award. A year-by-year breakdown of UK dominance under Collins in the MAC is impressive. In 2004, he led the Wildcats to their fourth MAC championship in five years. Kentucky’s dominance was evident by the seven players named all-conference that season, led by Player of the Year Jamal Shteiwi. At 11-5-3, UK registered its eighth straight 10-win season. Collins coached Shteiwi to his second consecutive Player of the Year honor, a first in MAC history. Shteiwi also became the second Wildcat to earn All-America honors under Collins tutelage as both collegesoccernews.com and the NSCAA recognized him. In 2004, the UK defense also proved to be one of the best in the nation. The Wildcats held their final 17 opponents of the year to one goal or fewer. It is the longest such streak in school annals. In 2003, Kentucky put together arguably its most successful season in the program’s young history. The Wildcats asserted their dominance in the MAC by posting a 6-0-0 regular season conference record, only the fourth team in league history to finish with an unblemished season. Even more impressive during the season was the fact that Kentucky shut out each of its six league foes in that span. As a team, the Cats finished ninth in the nation with an 0.68 goals against average and its 10 shutouts ranks second in school annals. Since 1999, the Wildcats have won four conference championships, three conference tournament titles and made four trips to the NCAA Tournament. However, Collins has been recognized for his excellent coaching ability since before he had UK regularly winning championships. In 1997, he was named the MAC Coach of the Year for the first time after leading the Wildcats to a second-place finish in the league. In 1999, Collins earned his second MAC Coach of the Year award and was also named the NSCAA Mideast Region Coach of the Year. That season, he guided Kentucky to the MAC Tournament championship and its first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. In a heartbreaker, the Wildcats pushed defending national champion Indiana to the brink before falling in double overtime. Collins led Kentucky to its first regular-sea-

son MAC championship in 2000 while repeating as tournament champs. UK completed the incredible season in the Sweet 16 after advancing past No. 9 St. Louis in the NCAA Tournament. In 2001, the Wildcats provided Collins with the team's highest offensive output since 1995, nearly breaking a school record for points with 125 on 39 goals and a school-record 47 assists. UK finished the year with a 14-6-1 record, its first undefeated MAC season, its third straight MAC tourney title as well as another berth in the NCAA tourney. Collins received his third MAC Coach of the Year Award for his efforts. Arriving in the Bluegrass as an assistant coach in 1992, Collins has been a part of the Wildcat family for 15 of its 17 years. He spent two seasons as assistant for former head coach Sam Wooten before taking over the reins prior to the 1994 campaign. In just his second season, Collins led the Wildcats to a school-record 16 wins, including a victory over established powerhouse Indiana. Two years later, Collins’ Kentucky squad posted a 12-7-2 overall record, including a 2-1 triumph over rival Bowling Green in front of more than 3,000 fans at the UK Soccer Complex. Prior to coming to Lexington and as the top assistant at St. Johns, Collins was involved with all areas of coaching the Red Storm, including allocation of scholarship and recruiting funds. He was directly responsible for a daily training schedule and developed team techniques and tactics. After coming to the United States in 1986 from Great Britain, a 22-year-old Collins became the youngest head coach in Division I soccer when he accepted the head coaching job at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. During his playing days, Collins earned a spot on the English School Boy Under-18 National Team. Collins also spent three years in the Northeast Professional Soccer League. In January 1993, Collins was awarded the Robert McNulty Award as the outstanding coaching candidate at the United States Soccer Federation Coaching School. In January 1994, Collins earned his USSF "A" coaching license, and he also holds a NSCAA Premier Diploma. Two summers ago, Collins spent time in Europe attending the UEFA “A” course. Collins spent three years in New York working as a stockbroker on Wall Street, and in 1990, he earned his real estate sales license. A graduate of Bridge North Endowed High School in England, Collins attended Crewe and Alsager College (Cheshire, England) and received his HNC degree in business finance in 1985. Born April 14, 1963, Collins and his wife Jenny have two children, Jack and Victoria. They reside in Lexington, Ky.

ASSISTANT COACH • 18TH YEAR AT UK

JEFF CHANEY Jeff Chaney has played an integral role for the University of Kentucky men’s and women’s soccer teams for the past 17 seasons, 15 of which he’s been a men’s assistant coach. Chaney was an assistant for the women’s program in its first two seasons (1992 and 1993) before being named men’s assistant in 1994. He has played a vital role in the Wildcat’s success, including the 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004 MidAmerican Conference regular-season titles, the 1999, 2000 and 2001 MAC Tournament Championships and NCAA Tournament bids in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003. Chaney handles a majority of the administrative duties for the program in addition to his training responsibilities. He is responsible for oversight of the players’ academic development. It is the latter area that gives Chaney particular pride in the program, as the Wildcats have shown the same kind of success in the classroom as on the field. On the field, Chaney has worked as goalkeeping coach since 2001, coaching some of the top keepers in program annals. Since 2001, five UK keepers have earned all-conference accolades, including returning starter Dan Williams, who was tabbed All-Conference in 2006 and 2008. Chaney has had a direct impact on some of the top keepers in UK history, including Williams, Andy Gruenebaum, Greg Raber and Brian O’Leary. The four keepers have rewritten the UK record books and Gruenebaum is coming off a 2008 Major League Soccer Championship, tending goal for the Columbus Crew. Raber finished his career as UK’s record holder with a 0.85 career goals-against average, while O’Leary posted a school-record 22 shutouts. O’Leary went on to play professionally in Finland. Over the past few years, the Wildcats have had 15 selections to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, three Verizon Academic All-Americans, two NSCAA Scholar-Athlete All-Americans, 106 Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll Selections and three Arthur Ashe Scholar Athletes. During the spring of 2008, the team as a whole earned the Team Academic CATSPY for the third straight year as UK’s highest achieving athletic team.

The Wildcats have also earned four NSCAA Team Academic Awards since 2000 and combined for a team grade-point average of 3.30 in the 2005-06 academic year. Perhaps the best indicator of the Kentucky soccer program’s dual commitment to academics and on-the-field excellence can be found in the finalists for the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. Every year, the SEC selects two Student-Athletes of the Year. A male and female nominee, considered the top student-athletes from their university, represents each SEC school. The University of Kentucky’s male nominee has often been a member of the men’s soccer program: Jason Bell in 2000, Giovani Fernandes in 2001, Ilkka Jantti in 2002, Chris Austin in 2004 and Nathan Li in 2007. A native of Georgetown, Ky., Chaney graduated from Scott County High School, where he earned All-State and All-Conference honors and was a co-founder of the soccer program. In 1984, Chaney received the prestigious American High School Athlete Award. Chaney continued his soccer career at Georgetown (Ky.) College where he was named to the NAIA All-District team in 1985 and was team captain for three seasons. He was also awarded the Outstanding Senior Award in Political Science in 1991. Since 1986, Chaney has spent his summers as staff coach at numerous soccer camps across the country as well as in Germany. Chaney served as an assistant boys coach at Lexington Catholic High School (Lexington, Ky.) from 1989-1991, helping the Knights reach the state semifinals in 1989. He has also worked with the Kentucky Olympic Development Program where he was a state coach from 1992-1997 and the girl’s state coach in 1995 and 1996. Since 1987, Chaney has been working with the many local clubs in Lexington. His club teams have reached the State Cup final nine times, coming away with five championships. Chaney has received the NSCAA National Diploma and his USSF “B" coaching license. Chaney resides in Lexington, Ky., and has one daughter, Caroline (8).

COLLINS ON CHANEY

“Jeff Chaney is the backbone of our program. He has been with me since day one and has been a stabilizing force in everything we do. He is easily one of the top assistants in the country.” 28

MARCO DOS SANTOS

A year removed from the heartbreak of a penalty-kick loss in the 2008 Conference USA Championship game, Kentucky soccer returns an experienced roster capable and determined to claim the first C-USA title in program annals. After falling short in the conference-title game in Dallas on penalties against No. 7 Tulsa, Kentucky’s quest for NCAA Tournament play was denied by the committee, despite ranking No. 21 nationally, finishing second in the conference and riding a school-record 10-match unbeaten streak. The Wildcats won’t be denied by any committees in 2009. “We have been in Conference USA for four years and we have four second-place trophies – two regular season and two tournament – with two losses in the finals of the tourney,” 18th-year head coach Ian Collins said. “I speak for all of us when I say while that might be a nice accomplishment, we are looking to push on and win this league. We are very close and it is a good league to win.” UK will seek to build upon an offense that netted 41 goals and a stingy defense that allowed only a 0.80 goals-against average in 2008, 31st-best in the nation. The Wildcats finished the season ranked 15th in the NCAA in scoring offense, averaging 1.95 goals per game. “We finished last season strong, we lost only two of our last 17 games and finished the year on a 10-match unbeaten streak,” Collins said. “We return what I think is the real core of that team and a few new additions will help. Everybody is more experienced and focused on doing something great. We have strong players in every position and I hope we can build on what we did at the end of last season.” Led by its trio of captains – each All-Conference USA performers in 2008 – midfielder Jason Griffiths, All-American defender Barry Rice and steady goalkeeper Dan Williams, Kentucky appears to have the right mix of an explosive offensive ability, a lockdown defense and unquestioned leadership. “Those three guys did a great job last year – Barry, Dan and Griff,” Collins said. “They are very different personalities but the three of them together get the job done and that is why we ask them to get the job done. All three of them are prime-time performers, all-conference players and all have the 46

potential to play professionally at the next level. I am looking for those three, plus others – Tim Crone, Chad Hagerty, Brad Walker, Tyler Burns, plus all the guys that have a lot of experience – they need to pull together and get this going to where it should be at.”

Forwards One of the biggest tasks facing Collins and the 2009 club is replacing the goal scoring abilities of senior forward Michael Strong, who netted a teamhigh nine goals in just 741 minutes a year ago. The UK offensive attack will lean heavily on Griffiths, a key cog in the midfield and offensive gameplan. “Michael did great for us last year. He started the season very, very quickly,” Collins said. “We

TIM CRONE

have a number of players that are ready to score some goals. Taylor White has really come on leaps and bounds during the fall and spring season. We have not seen the best of him; he is going to have the potential to score a lot of goals, because he is a big, strong, physical striker who is very quick for a big man.” White will be expected to step up a year after scoring two goals and adding two assists in 13 games as a freshman. The reigning C-USA Newcomer of the Year, Brazilian forward Marco dos Santos, will also be expected to continue to provide an offensive spark after coming on late in 2008, finishing with five goals and five assists. Fellow forwards Tim Crone and Lexington native C.J. Tappel will be counted on as goalscoring threats. “Marco dos Santos took a little while to settle in his first year and ended the season brilliantly,” Collins said. “Tim Crone has been a goal scorer for his first two years, a very dangerous player around the goal. We also have several other players who are capable of scoring goals – C.J. Tappel from the wide position and Chad Hagerty. We have guys that can score goals, I don’t know if we are going to have one dominant goal scorer, but we are going to get contributions from several different players.”

dynamic newcomers, but overall that will be the strength of that team. I like all the areas of the team, but at midfield I really like our depth. That isn’t something we have always had a lot of in the past and with a couple of newcomers, we add to the depth of what was already a very good group of players.”

Defenders/Goalkeeper As always, the defense will be a staple of the club, an annual strength of Collins’ teams. Last season, UK was particularly stingy, holding opponents to a 0.80 goals-against average, in large part thanks to an All-American back-line, headlined by Rice, and including standouts Tim Muessig and Brad Walker. “We finished among the leaders in the nation in goals against,” Collins said. “We obviously have a very good goalkeeper. We are bringing back three of the back four that played basically every minute – Tim Muessig, Barry Rice, Brad Walker played a lot of games for us, played every minute of the last 12 or 13 games together. Certainly Barry and Brad will be the backbone, both

CHAD HAGERTY JASON GRIFFITHS

Midfield With the return of Griffiths in the midfield, along with stalwarts Tyler Burns, George Davis IV, Chad Hagerty and Mark Lavery, UK appears to be set in the center of the field. A 2008 first-team All-Conference USA selection, Griffiths is considered one of the top midfield players in college soccer. A native of Bracknell, England, Griffiths has 27 career points in his three seasons (nine goals, nine assists), including a perfect 6-for-6 mark in penalty kick attempts. “The midfield will be the strength of our team,” Collins said. “Jason Griffiths is widely recognized as one of the top players in our conference, no question about that. He is one of the best midfield players in the country he is very consistent, puts his foot on the ball. Last year was really the first healthy season he has had and he proved what he can do – first team All-Conference USA, region All-American. He is a terrific player. “Everybody knows how good he is. He is just a quality player, he wins tackles and covers every blade of grass. Jason is another guy who is going to have a great chance to go play professionally.” Burns started 19 games in 2008, logging 1505 minutes, with six points (two goals, two assists), and returns for his junior season as a stabilizing force in the midfield for UK. Davis, an athletic and attacking midfielder, is coming off a strong spring showing and Lavery will look to build upon a promising freshman campaign that saw him dish out two assists in 378 minutes. Hagerty, a native of Louisville, Ky., finished the year as UK’s assist leader, dolling out six

dimes to go with one goal. “You have a number of other really quality players in the midfield,” Collins said. “Tyler Burns has been here two years and has played a lot of really quality minutes. Chad Hagerty led the league in assists last year. George Davis IV is going into his senior year as well and he adds some depth and has the ability to play upfront as well.” In addition to the slew of veteran talent, Collins welcomes a core of promising newcomers, including Josh Albers, Josh McCray, Matt Lodge and Cameron Wilder. “In the midfield we have a couple of guys who came in the spring and were terrific,” Collins said. “Josh McCray came in from Radford and he scored four goals in the spring, he did very well, has two years of college experience. Josh Albers is a dynamic player, after spending two years at Dayton. We have a young lad coming out of England named Matt Lodge, a terrific player, plays a lot like Jason (Griffiths) good on the ball, a good goal scorer. Cameron Wilder is a lad coming in from Atlanta, he spent some time with the Under-18 national team, quick as lightning, dynamic, adds a little bit to that group. “We have a lot of options in the midfield, it is going to be a very competitive place to play and as a coach that is what you want. We have a lot of experience at the midfield, a couple of 47

DAN WILLIAMS

really quality players. It is a group of players that I am pretty comfortable with and we look forward to them coming out strong.” When discussing Rice, it is hard for Collins to come up with enough adjectivesy to describe the impact he can have on the game, and the impact he has had on the program. “Barry is good, he is unbelievably athletic,” Collins raved. “He is great in the air. He has great pace. He is tough, gives 100 percent every game. I think, and I am not the only one who thinks this, he is one of the best players in the country. He is going to have a bright future professionally. He is much better on the ball, his decision making has gotten better as time has gone by. One more good college year for him will make him into a top professional player.” In addition to the timetested veterans, several newcomers will have a chance to have an immediate impact. “At outside back, we have a lot of competition,” Collins said. “We have a couple of guys coming in that are going to be very good defenders. Chris Jumalon is a freshman from Washington D.C., who came on in the spring. We have a number of guys who can step up and play.” Williams, a two-time All C-USA goalkeeper,

BARRY RICE

ranks among the top keepers in UK career annals, ranking fifth in saves (167), fourth in goals-against average (1.16) and fourth in shutouts (14). Last season, Williams was a rock, finishing with a 0.81 goals-against average, ranking 36th best in the NCAA. “Dan has proved himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the country,” Collins said. “He is fearless, he makes game-winning saves. He has really improved the game with his feet. His upside is fantastic and he is just starting to scratch the surface of how good he can be. He had a great end of the year and we really want him to build on that.” While the offensive attack has the potential to be explosive, Collins and the team understand the importance of defending. “We scored a lot of goals in the spring, and one of the knocks on Kentucky in the past has always been ‘well, they don’t score a lot of goals’. We scored 41 last season and scored a bunch in the spring. But the guys understand that defending will never go away and that is our cornerstone.”

Schedule Kentucky will play a challenging 2009 slate, including matchups with Illinois-Chicago, Indiana, Tulsa, South Carolina, Louisville and SMU. UK’s conference slate will begin after three non-conference tune-ups, including the annual UK Invitational, Sept. 20, with Marshall at the UK Soccer Complex. The conference schedule will include league powers SMU, Tulsa and South Carolina, in addition to trips to Central Florida and Florida International. “We are excited about some of our non conference games,” Collins said. “Playing Indiana, Louisville, UIC – those are real competitive teams. We are also hosting a tournament here and expect to have a good crowd.” Looking at the 2009 club brings nothing but excitement when discussing the possibilities with Collins. Combined with a dynamic group of seasoned veterans and a slew of talented newcomers, one thing is certain; UK has the ability to take charge of its own postseason chances in 2009. “I feel real comfortable with our players,” Collins said. “We have more depth than we have had in a number of years. We have some special players, who our fans will enjoy seeing play. We have some guys that can do some things and I just hope they put it all together. “What really impressed me was the professionalism of some of our experienced players, the way they handled things. The improvement is there for everyone to see, they have worked hard. I like what they are doing, they are quietly and unassumingly going about their job.”

2008 KENTUCKY SOCCER

SEASON IN REVIEW Kentucky head soccer coach Ian Collins knows the importance of precision. In the game of soccer, a ball kicked just high or just wide of the net could mean the difference between an important win or a devastating loss. Similarly, as the Wildcats found out in 2008, battling to a tie and losing in penalty kicks in the Conference USA Championship game could mean the difference in an NCAA Tournament bid. Kentucky put together an outstanding campaign in 2008 that resulted in a 12-4-5 record, including a 6-1-1 mark in C-USA play. The Wildcats

MICHAEL STRONG

finished the season on a school-record 10-match unbeaten streak and posted its second conference tournament title game appearance in the past three seasons. “We enjoyed a good season,” Collins said. “Our seniors poured their heart and soul into everything and I want to thank them for their efforts. Even though we are extremely disappointed about our exclusion from the NCAA Tournament, we respected their decision and are focused on preparations for next season.” The Wildcats finished the season ranked No. 21 in the nation – the only top-25 team not to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. In 2008, UK was characterized by a high-octane offense that produced the third-most goals in school single-season history with 41. Three players were named NSCAA All-Region, while junior defender Barry Rice was a second-team All-America selection. The Wildcats opened up their 2008 season by outscoring the competition at the annual UK Invitational 11-0. Kentucky set a new school best for goals scored (11) and largest margin of victory in the first two games of the season. The Wildcats also notched consecutive shutouts, a feat accomplished just twice before in school history. Senior forward Michael Strong tallied three goals on the weekend as Kentucky defeated Central Arkansas, 6-0, and Dayton, 5-0, in the UK Invitational. A tough road swing to the West Coast evened Kentucky’s record at 2-2. The Wildcats lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to No. 7 UC-Santa Barbara – the 2006 NCAA Champion – before falling, 3-1, at No. 24 Cal Poly. Strong registered his team-leading fourth goal in the loss to the Mustangs. A 4-1 win at Cincinnati started Kentucky on a five-match unbeaten streak, as junior Tim Crone, a native of Cincinnati, tallied his first two goals of the season and Strong had his fifth goal in as many matches to help the Wildcats defeat the Bearcats. Returning home from a three-match road swing, UK recorded its first victory against Michigan in program annals, downing the Wolverines, 2-1, in front of 1,988 fans, the sixth-largest crowd in school history. Goals from freshman Marco dos Santos and Rice gave the Wildcats the thrilling victory. Kentucky played to scoreless ties against Alabama A&M and UNCAsheville in its next two contests to run its record to 4-2-2 as the Wildcats extended its streak of not allowing a goal to 224 minutes. UK opened Conference USA play on the road at Marshall, posting a 40 win in Huntington, W.Va. Strong netted two goals in a 15-second span in the second half as the Wildcats extended their shutout streak to 314 consecutive minutes and Strong extended his team goal lead to seven. The Wildcats struggled in losses to Xavier and Tulsa on the road. Kentucky stayed even with the No. 15 Golden Hurricane for much of the night before a costly own goal gave the 2-1 win to Tulsa. UK was outshot 22-7 in the match. Kentucky returned home to the UK Soccer Complex to post a 2-0 victory against league rival South Carolina and begin an incredible streak that would close out the Wildcats’ season with a 10-match winning streak. Tyler Burns knocked in the winning goal with 41 seconds remaining in overtime on a chilly Saturday night in Birmingham, Ala., to give Kentucky a 2-1 victory against UAB. The Wildcats returned home to face UCF and Florida International, 52

NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2008 • UK's 10-match unbeaten streak is a new school record, eclipsing the previous record of seven games, set in 1997, 1998 and 2004. • UK's 41 goals scored ranks third-most all-time. • Finished with 123 points in 2008, the fourth-most in UK season history. • UK’s 41 assists in 2008 rank fourth in UK annals. • Fired 284 shots in 2008, the third-most in program history. • Totaled 109 corner kicks in 2008, checking in tied for eighth-most. • Finished with 12 wins, ranking tied for the fifth-most in UK history. • Four ties check in second all-time. • Finished with a 0.80 goals-against average, the fifth-best total in UK history and the second-best average of any season total saw over 2,000 minutes logged. • Eight shutouts in 2008 rank tied for the sixth-most shutouts in UK history. • In a 6-0 win over Central Arkansas, UK totaled the sixth-most points (18), the fourthmost goals (six), the third-most goals in a half (four), the fifth-most assists (six) and the third-most assists in a half (five). charting wins against both conference foes. In the win against the Knights, Kentucky trailed 1-0 in the 71st minute before C.J. Tappel and Crone notched back-to-back goals to engineer the comeback attempt. On the road in Bloomington, Ind., Kentucky played the nation’s No. 1 RPI team Indiana to a 1-1 tie amid extreme cold, marking just the third time in program history that the Wildcats had either tied or posted a win against the Hoosiers. Kentucky continued its comeback prowess, allowing a goal just minutes into the game at SMU to post its second consecutive win against the Mustangs in school history with a 2-1 victory against the nation’s No. 22 team. UK reached its 10th win of the season, marking the 13th time in program history that the Wildcats had accomplished that feat. Defender Stephen Beiro netted his first career match-winning goal in the 44th minute. Kentucky closed out the 2008 regular season by playing Memphis to a scoreless tie on Senior Day at the UK Soccer Complex. The Wildcats earned the No. 2 seed in the Conference USA Tournament to be contested in Dallas, Texas. Strong connected on his team-leading eighth and ninth goals of the season to lead UK to a first-round 4-2 win against Marshall and set up a semifinal matchup with UCF. Rice’s header in the 66th minute against the Knights gave Kentucky a dramatic 1-0 victory against UCF in the semifinals. The Wildcats out-shot the Knights 26-5 and held a 14-3 advantage in corner kicks. Kentucky battled Tulsa to a 1-1 tie in the C-USA Championship game before falling, 4-2, in penalty kicks at SMU’s Wescott Field. After two scoreless overtime periods, the Golden Hurricane won in penalty kicks, marking the first C-USA Championship game to be decided on penalty kicks since 2003. The Wildcats had anticipated an NCAA berth to follow one of the finest seasons in program history, but their season came to an untimely end that Sunday afternoon in Dallas. Collins hopes to build on the lessons learned from the 2008 campaign to help this year’s team set its sights precisely on the team’s primary goals – winning Conference USA and advancing to the NCAA Tournament. “We can only use these experiences in a positive manner and to motivate us for the 2009 season,” Collins said.

For the second consecutive match, the Kentucky men’s soccer team allowed a goal just minutes into the game and rebounded with a comefrom-behind win for the fourth time in the last five matches, getting the game winner from defender Stephen Beiro in the 44th minute, to lift the red-hot Wildcats to a 2-1 win over No. 22 SMU at Wescott Field. UK’s 10 wins on the year marks the 13th time in the history of the program the Wildcats have posted 10 or more wins. UK has achieved 10 total wins in a season just five times all-time and only twice in the last 11 years.

Senior forward Michael Strong netted his teamleading eighth and ninth goals of the season to lead the No. 23 Kentucky men's soccer team to a Conference USA Tournament first-round win over the Marshall Thundering Herd, 4-2, setting a new school-record for the longest unbeaten streak in the 18-year history of the program at SMU's Westcott Field. Kentucky is unbeaten in its last eight matches, a new school record, eclipsing the previous record of seven-straight unbeaten, which had happened three times in school annals, 1997, 1998 and 2004. UK has now totaled 39 goals on the season, good for a tie for fourth-place all-time in school history. The red-hot Wildcats have not lost since an Oct. 8 setback at No. 7 Tulsa, posting wins over No. 18 South Carolina, No. 8 Michigan, UCF, UAB, FIU and at No. 22 SMU, in addition to draws with No. 14 Indiana and Memphis.

HISTORY OF UK SOCCER

Coach Ian Collins accepts the game ball commemorating his 100th win at UK. Collins eclipsed the 150-win mark in 2007.

he University of Kentucky men's soccer program has steadily climbed to the level of the nation's elite since it was established on June 1, 1991. The Wildcats have been a force on the regional and national scene, posting a 196-13338 (.586) all-time record. Before joining one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top soccer conferences in Conference USA in 2005, Kentucky spent a decade in the Mid-American Conference, where it dominated the opposition. In that span, Kentucky won four conference championships and advanced to the finals or semifinals of the league tournament every season. The program has continued to grow over time, drawing a school-record 3,327 fans for its 1-0 win over Louisville in 2005 and ranking 21st in the nation in attendance during that season. In 2008, UK led the conference in atten-

dance for the second time in the past three years. Through the years, UK's soccer program has produced highlight after highlight, from its 1995 1-0 win over Indiana in Bloomington to its 2-1 win over MAC-rival Bowling Green in 1997 in front of 3,003 screaming Wildcats fans at the UK Soccer Complex and its No. 13 national ranking in 2006. From head coach Sam Wooten's first Cats squad in 1991 to current head coach Ian Collins' four NCAA Tournament appearances, it has been an exciting 18 years. The 2008 highlight came when the Wildcats upended No. 1 SMU at the UK Soccer Complex, UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win over a top-ranked foe in program history. When UK soccer became a varsity sport on June 1, 1991, Lexington native Sam Wooten took the helm. He had served as the Kentucky coach

UK celebrates after winning the 2001 MAC Tournament Trophy, going unbeaten and untied during the regular season.

during UK's club soccer days, and he was the natural choice to lead the new varsity team. Known for his big, physical squads, Wooten racked up a 28-25-7 record in three seasons at the reins. From 1991 to 1996, the Wildcats called The Cage home. The Cage Soccer Field, which stood where UK's Boone Tennis Center now stands, placed fans just feet from the pitch and the UK fans gave Kentucky a tremendous home-field advantage. In its five-and-a-half seasons at The Cage, UK posted an impressive 34-17-8 home mark. In 1994, Ian Collins was brought in by thenUK Athletics Director C.M. Newton to lead the UK Soccer Wildcats. In his 16 years, Collins has taken the UK program to new heights, leading UK to a 168-109-32 (.595) mark. Under Collins, the Wildcats have been consistent conference title contenders in both the MAC and Conference USA. The Wildcats won the MAC Tournament title three straight years from 19992001 and regular-season championships in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. In 2001, the Wildcats ran through the league with a perfect 6-0-0 record. UK repeated the feat in 2003 and became the first team in conference history to go through the regular season without relinquishing a goal. Collins also was instrumental in the construction of the UK Soccer Complex. Opened on Oct. 24, 1996, the Complex houses a playing field, a practice field, team lounge and locker rooms. UK has been dominant on its new turf, going an astonishing 69-27-11 there all-time, for a winning percentage of better than 70 percent. In addition to its successful teams, the UK soccer program has also been successful academically. Four times since 2000 the program has won an NSCAA Team Academic Award and has produced five Boyd McWhorter Scholarship nominees in that same span. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the soccer team was named the UK Male Academic Team of the Year at the CATSPY Awards.

The 1999 Mid-American Conference Tournament began a three-year championship run for the Wildcats.

Jason Bell scored both goals in the final en route to All-Tournament Team honors. He was joined on the team by Giovanni Fernandes, Chris McAlpine and goalkeeper Brian O’Leary, who pitched two shutouts. The championship sealed Kentucky’s first NCAA Tournament appearance.

2000 MAC Champs After three straight second-place finishes, Kentucky finally broke through and won a share of the Mid-American Conference title in 2000. It would be the beginning of a MAC dynasty as the Wildcats took home at least a share of the championship in four of five seasons. In the team’s four conference wins, the Wildcats suffocating defense allowed just one goal. Chris McDaniel paced the offensive attack with a team-high five goals, including three game-winners. Giovanni Fernandes and Ilkka Jantti were each named all-conference. Kentucky would go on to become the third team in conference history to win the regular season championship and the tournament title.

2004 MAC Champs In its final season in the Mid-American Conference, Kentucky went out in grand style by winning their fourth league title in five years. Jamal Shteiwi repeated as MAC Player of the Year after leading the league with 11 goals and 30 points. He was joined on the all-conference teams by six teammates: Michael D’Agostino, Andy Gruenebaum, Anthony Peters, Thomas Senecal, Brandon Stewart and Michael Strong. Kentucky outscored its league opponents 14-4 en route to the crown. The Wildcats wrapped up their 10-year run in the MAC with a 44-13-4 overall record. UK was at its best in its final five years in the league, racking up four conference championships and a 22-6-1 mark while going undefeated in league play twice.

2003 MAC Champs In the most dominant season in Mid-American Conference history, Kentucky went a perfect 6-0 without allowing a goal in league play. The Wildcats’ defense was stifling, led by All-Conference defenders Nathan Li, Thomas Senecal and Brandon Stewart as well as goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. Offensively, MAC Newcomer of the Year Riley O’Neill was the scorer with a team-high seven goals and MAC Player of the Year Jamal Shteiwi proved the playmaker, tallying a school-record 13 assists. Both were also named all-conference along with midfielder Joey Gaworecki.

at St. Louis, Mo. In their second NCAA appearance, the Cats played at ninth-ranked Saint Louis in the first round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament. The Billikens outshot the Cats by a tally of 21-7, but were held scoreless by Brian O’Leary’s 12 saves in front of a strong UK defense that chipped in with a pair of team saves. Four overtime periods could not decide the game, which entered the record books as a 0-0 tie. Per NCAA rules, penalty kicks were required to break the 150 minute deadlock, and O’Leary again shined, making two key saves and netting a penalty of his own to help the Cats advance to the second round.

DR. LEE T. TODD, JR., PRESIDENT Lee T. Todd, Jr. became the 11th president of the University of Kentucky on July 1, 2001, after serving as senior vice president of IBM’s Lotus Development Corp. President Todd is the sixth UK alumnus to hold the presidency. President Todd has concentrated his efforts and energies on helping his alma mater achieve a greater level of national prominence. He launched the University of Kentucky’s Top 20 Business Plan in December 2005. The plan is a quantitative analysis highlighting what it will take for UK to achieve its state-mandated goal of building a Top 20 public research university. Widely hailed as the first business plan by a public university in the nation, UK’s plan garnered widespread national attention. It has been featured by national media outlets and recognized by peer institutions, as several higher education leaders have visited UK’s campus to learn more about the Business Plan approach. He continues to champion UK’s outreach efforts. President Todd launched a universityfunded research program called the Commonwealth Collaboratives. The initiative features 36 of UK’s top research teams, who are focused on solving the intrinsic problems that have held the state back from reaching its full potential. It is

part of UK’s effort to ensure that its research hits the ground in Kentucky and changes lives throughout the Commonwealth.

MITCH BARNHART, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Mitch Barnhart is in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, with unparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goals for the future. When he arrived in 2002, Barnhart’s first move was to totally support all 22 varsity sports with the maximum number of scholarships and coaches, along with the facilities, equipment and support staff needed to make those teams successful. The commitment to fully fund every sport produced never-before-seen successes in UK athletics, with first-ever Southeastern Conference championships in baseball, men’s golf and women’s tennis. Perhaps the biggest on-field turnaround has been in football, where Barnhart’s hire of Rich

Brooks has led the Wildcats to bowl wins in three consecutive years, the first time that has been accomplished in UK’s 117 seasons in the sport. In order to make the dreams a reality, Barnhart spearheaded record-breaking growth in philanthropic giving, ticket sales and a comprehensive multi-media rights agreement. Barnhart’s connection to UK student-athletes is evident by his individual interaction and dedication to provide the support services necessary to meet their needs. UK Athletics spends more than $1.5 million annually on its nationally renowned Center for Academic and Tutorial Services. He also began the CATSPYs, an annual awards program that honors the best of UK Athletics. Additional initiatives begun under Barnhart’s leadership include the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the Joe Craft Center, a $30 million facility that includes new practice and administrative space for a variety of sports. Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond the fields of competition. Despite athletics’ urgent financial needs, Barnhart initiated a $1.2 million annual contribution to the University’s scholarship program, a contribution that is being increased to $1.7 million this year. Social responsibility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a priority for Barnhart, who has been extremely active in community service and

encourages the UK athletics staff to do the same. Not content with past successes, Barnhart’s ambitious course for the future was revealed with his recent announcement of the “15x15x15” plan. The goals are to win at least 15 conference or national championships and rank among the NCAA’s top 15 athletic programs by 2015 – all of which would represent unprecedented achievements for UK Athletics – while continuing to expand UK Athletics’ service to the local community and commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal of the initiative is a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500 student-athletes. Barnhart arrived at Kentucky from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (1998-2002) as athletics director. Before his term at OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-1983). Barnhart, 50, is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He received his bachelor degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. He and his wife, the former Connie Brown, have three children, Kirby, Blaire and Scott. Kirby is recently married to McKenzie Willoughby.
