2010 Season Preview A new era of UNC Asheville soccer begins in 2010.

Former Wofford head coach and Bulldog assistant for the past two years Matt Kern is the new Asheville head coach. Kern takes over for Steve Cornish, who served as Asheville’s Top Dog for 18 years. He stepped down in April to take a coaching position at ShattuckSt. Mary’s Academy in Fairbalt, Minnesota. Kern has not only been a head coach at Wofford; he also developed a powerful Division III program at the University of the South in the 90’s. His work at Wofford had him gradually building the Terrier program before moving to Asheville in 2007. Kern’s last recruiting class at Wofford won the Southern Conference championship last season as seniors. “I’m really excited about the opportunity here at UNC Asheville,” stated Kern. “I enjoyed working with Steve the past two years and am familiar with the players we have coming back. “I’m cautiously optimistic about this year’s team,” added Kern. “We’ve got a great junior class back. We want to make a run at finishing at the top four in the Big South Conference this season and then do some damage in the tournament.”

The Bulldogs enter the 2010 season without a senior on their roster but 14 juniors will suit up for Asheville.

“I would describe our team as middle-aged,” stated Kern. “We don’t have any seniors but our juniors have played in a lot of important matchers over the past two years.” GOALKEEPER

The Bulldogs should be in good shape in goal as junior Lassi Hurskainen returns along with red-shirt sophomore Derrick Filip.

Hurskainen has been Asheville’s starter for the past two years. He has done a sensational job for the Bulldogs and will be among the best goalkeepers in college soccer this season. Last year, Hurskainen got hit with some nagging injuries that caused him to miss three games after playing every minute of each game the previous season. Filip filled in for Hurskainen last year and did a solid job. He shutout Southern Conference champion Wofford and stopped a PK in a 0-0 tie against the Terriers early in the year. “We believe we’re in great shape with our goalkeepers,” declared Kern. “Lassi has shown in the past two years what a talented player he is, while Derrick earned some confidence last year.

“Lassi is an unbelievable competitor who just hates to loss,” added Kern. “His intensity on the field makes everyone better.

“Derrick has grown as a goalkeeper during his time here and really stepped up for us when called upon last year,” commented Kern.

DEFENSE The Bulldogs return their entire backline for the 2010 campaign. Heading up the returnees are juniors J.J. Morrow and Jake Sides. They are two players who may be just juniors, but whom have a logged a lot of minutes for Asheville during their careers. “J.J. and Jake are two players who will anchor our defense again this year,” said Kern. “They are very comfortable in the back and are good in the air. Both of them continue to improve and will be leaders for us this season both on and off the field.” Last year’s leading scorer Connor Holzinger could start in the back this year. He played both in midfield and on defense in 2009. Holzinger scored three goals and had 10 points last season. “Connor is a dead-ball specialist who can score in that role as he showed last year,” explained Kern. “We’re lucky to have his versatility where we can use him in the back and as a central midfielder.” Sophomore Alex Martin-Smith started and played much of last season as a freshman. He did a solid job for the Bulldogs. “Alex did a nice job adjusting to the speed of the college game in his rookie year,” commented Kern. “He had a good first season and was a key player in the back. We’ll expect more from him in 2010.” Junior Weston Brown showed some promise as a sophomore on defense.

“Weston is a good, solid defender,” said Kern. “He has versatile skills as he can also play in midfield.”

Sophomore David Wood started seven matches a year ago and gave the Bulldogs some high-quality playing time.

“David really served us well at the end of the season,” stated Kern. “He’s another one of our versatile players who can really play anywhere on the field. David has good offensive skills no matter what position he plays.” Freshman Hans Lohmeyer could make an impact for the Bulldogs right away. He enjoyed a great prep career at Page HS in Greensboro and had a solid club career, as well. “Hans comes from a great prep and club program,” declared Kern. “He has played against great competition his whole career, and we expect him to help us as a freshman.”

Bobby Castro comes to Asheville from Cary and playing at Middle Creek HS.

“Bobby is a fun player who our fans will enjoy watching,” stated Kern. “He’ll have to adjust to the speed of the college game, but we’re confident he can do that.” MIDFIELD

The Bulldogs are fully loaded in midfield with plenty of experience returning.

Junior Jake Hagedorn was tied for the team lead in goals scored with three last year. Kern hopes for that figure to go up in 2010.

“We expect big things from Jake this year,” explained Kern. “He has a great engine and is a superb leader. I wouldn’t be surprised to see his goal-scoring increase this season.” Red-shirt sophomore Eli Morrow produced for the Bulldogs in 2009. Eli, the brother of J.J. Morrow, had three points and scored a goal. “Eli is one of the hardest working players I’ve ever seen,” Kern pointed out. “He can play either in the back or in the midfield. Eli did a tremendous job for us last year, and we look for big things from him this season.”

Sophomore David Parra made an immediate impact for Asheville in 2009 as he played in all 20 matches and started 17 times.

“David is a super passer and very strong with the ball,” commented Kern. “He continues to develop on both offense and defense. We have high hopes for David this year.”

Junior Kye Grooms showed some promise last year and that should continue in 2010.

“I believe Kye will have a breakout year,” explained Kern. “He is an excellent pure passer and knows how to attack as a midfielder. We’re really excited about his prospects this season.” Junior Nick Stemkowski has gotten better and better with each year he’s been with Asheville. He gave the Bulldogs a real lift off the bench in 2009. “Nick is hard worker who gives us energy at both practice and in games,” said Kern. “We like the fact that we can play him both in the back and in midfield.” Red-shirt junior Colton Paschall started twice last season and played in 17 matches. “We just need Colton to be healthy this year,” stated Kern. “He’s an attacking midfielder and if we can get at full strength he’ll be a big help to us.” Freshman Samuel Rossabi is another Cary product who will be a part of the Bulldog program. He played at Green Hope HS. “Sam will have a role for us this year as an outside midfielder,” said Kern. FORWARD The Bulldogs have some real potential firepower up front. Start with sophomore Zachary Odum, Asheville’s second leading scorer last season with three goals and nine points and he didn’t even start. Odum earned Big South All-Freshman honors for his work off the bench.

“Zachary is quite impressive physically and is very tough once he gets the ball in open

space,” commented Kern. “Once he gets better off the ball, he’ll improve even more as a goal scorer. We’re excited to have him for three more years and watch him develop.” Junior Bryan Bartels scored two goals for Asheville in 2009 and should expand on that total in 2010. “What we like about Bryan is that he has a pro soccer player’s body,” said Kern. “He is quite strong and is tough when he’s in the box. As his shot selection improves, you’ll see Bryan scoring more goals this year.” Junior Bryan George has been a mainstay in the Asheville line-up for the past two seasons. “Bryan is one of our most dangerous players,” observed Kern. “He’s a highly intelligent striker who moves well away from the ball. As a team, we need to serve him better so he can be even more dangerous.” Asheville is also expecting big things from two-year starter Branden Lassen. He had four points a year ago with a goal and two assists. “We have high hopes for Branden in 2010,” declared Kern. “We plan to play in an attacking role which we think will suit him best. He needs to work a little bit on his defensive transition, but he is an entertaining player when he has the ball.”

BRYAN

BARTE

Junior Alex Koslick transferred to Asheville from Catawba last year. Koslick fit in quite well with the Bulldogs last season and scored twice. “We expect Alex to earn more minutes this season,” explained Kern. “He holds the ball well and is a good passer. Alex is definitely in our plans for the upcoming year.” Two local freshmen will compete for playing time up front as Tim Kynast and Kenneth Lingerfelt join the Asheville program. Kynast played locally at Asheville Christian Academy, while Lingerfelt enjoyed a standout prep career at Asheville HS. He was the 2008 WNC Player of the Year. “Tim is a good athlete with a super work ethic,” stated Kern. “He’ll be looked at closely this year. “Kenneth has scored a lot of goals both in high school and in club ball,” added Kern. “He’ll have to adjust to the college game, but we believe he’ll be a dangerous player starting this season.”

The Big South Conference Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F.“Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 19962007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

The University of North Carolina Asheville Fiske Guide Gives High Marks to UNC Asheville and its Environmental Studies Program UNC Asheville is once again ranked among the nation’s top colleges in the 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide

to Colleges” published in July. The Fiske Guide calls UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” “This public liberal arts university offers all the perks that are generally associated with pricier private institutions: rigorous academics, small classes, and a beautiful setting,” says the Fiske Guide, noting that UNC Asheville provides all this for a fraction of the cost of a private college. In addition, for the seventh consecutive year, UNC Asheville’s Environmental Studies Program was named to the Fiske Guide’s list of pre-professional programs with unusual strength in preparing students for careers. Students in UNC Asheville’s program learn to address environmental issues through a multidisciplinary approach that includes biology, ecology, geology, chemistry, physics, economics, public policy, and other natural and social sciences. Undergraduate research is an important feature of the curriculum, and the Environmental Studies Department stresses on-the-job internships in organizations involved with environmental issues. The Fiske Guide also finds plenty to appreciate in UNC Asheville’s “picturesque mountain location in one of the most liveable small cities anywhere.” According to the Fiske Guide, “whether it’s the lush environment or the money you’re saving, the University of North Carolina at Asheville will have you seeing green.”

UNC Asheville Ranked Among Nation’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report UNC UNC Asheville received high marks in the 2011 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges”

rankings released on August 17. UNC Asheville ranked fifth among National Liberal Arts Colleges in “The 2011 Upand-Comers” list, which highlights schools with “the most promising and innovative changes.” This select list leads the overall rankings in the 2011 edition of the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” guidebook, which will be available on-line August 17 and on newsstands August 24. UNC Asheville was also one of only 25 universities in the nation to make the U.S. News & World Report list of “stellar” schools for undergraduate research/creative projects. UNC Asheville, Duke, and UNC-Chapel Hill are the lone North Carolina representatives on this list. UNC Asheville, which founded the National Council for Undergraduate Research more than 20 years ago, has made this roster annually since it began nine years ago. In addition, UNC Asheville was included on the list of 39 National Liberal Arts Colleges with the strongest commitment to undergraduate teaching. U.S. News & World Report’s overall rankings include a number of factors, including financial support from alumni, grades and test scores of incoming freshmen and admissions selectivity along with the quality of instruction and curriculum. UNC Asheville was ranked sixth among public institutions in the National Liberal Arts Colleges category and number 158 in the category overall. Again this year, UNC Asheville was recognized by U.S. News & World Report for affordability as measured by student debt. The university ranked 14th among National Liberal Arts Colleges for least debt among graduating students. This is consistent with findings from other leading college rankings services. The 2011 edition of the “Fiske Guide to Colleges,” issued in July, called UNC Asheville “one of the best educational bargains in the country.” In January, Princeton Review named UNC Asheville to its “Best College Values for 2010” list.

UNC Asheville Named One of the 50 “Best Value” Public Colleges in the U.S. by Princeton Review Rising costs in today’s challenging economy has pushed up the price of everything from gas to groceries. But

there are still great values to be found in higher education, according to “Best Value Colleges for 2010” ranking released today from the Princeton Review. UNC Asheville was among just 50 institutions nationwide named to the “Best Value” Public Colleges list. The Princeton Review also published a 50 “Best Value” Private Colleges list, for a total of 100 colleges in all. UNC Asheville was the only college or university in Western North Carolina to make the list.This is the fourth year that UNC Asheville has been selected by the Princeton Review as one of the 50 best value public colleges in the country. According to the Princeton Review, the schools that made the “Best Value” list are “first-rate institutions offering outstanding academics at a relatively low cost of attendance and/or generous financial aid.” The Princeton Review praised UNC Asheville’s growing national academic reputation, noting that the University provides “students a private school experience at a public school cost.” It also favorably notes the University’s numerous academic options, small class size and strong focus on the liberal arts. The ranking applauds UNC Asheville’s accessible faculty and the diverse offering of student activities both on and off campus. The Princeton Review selected the top 100 institutions as its “Best Value” choices for 2010 based on its surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private colleges and universities. The selection criteria covered more than 30 factors in three areas: academics, costs of attendance, and financial aid, using the most recently reported data from each institution for the 2008-09 academic year. UNC Asheville consistently ranks as one of the nation’s best values in higher education. It has made the Fiske Guide to Colleges’ “Best Buy” list for the past 16 years and is among the Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s 100 best value public colleges and universities. And according to U.S. News & World Report’s current college rankings, UNC Asheville is among the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation whose students graduated with the least debt in 2008.

ROCKY Since UNC Asheville first fielded athletics teams in the 1930s (then known as Biltmore College), the bulldog has been its mascot. Early students chose the bulldog for its fierce and tenacious reputation. In the decades that have followed, the bulldog has become a beloved symbol of our University. In 1948, “Puck,” arrived on campus and began a tradition of live bulldog mascots that lasted into the 1980s. Puck, named after the character in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was followed by Puck II and in the 1960s by Chuga-lug. In the 1980s the campus welcomed Winston, named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, both for his bulldogged resolve as well as his appearance.Winston appeared for only a year and the tradition of a live mascot fell out of use. In 2009 thanks to a group of student organizers, UNC Asheville welcomed a new bulldog mascot to the University community. “Rocky I” made his first public appearance at halftime of UNC Asheville’s homecoming basketball game on Feb. 21, 2009. Alumni couple, Alexis Johnson (’97) and Ed Johnson (’96), also a member of the math faculty, are his keepers. The name “Rocky” was suggested by staff member Nancy Williams during a naming contest sponsored by the Athletics Department in 1995. Though the rumor has often been that the name came from Sylvester Stallone’s famous character, Rocky Balboa, which is based on the American prize fighter Rocky Marciano, the name was chosen because it means steadfast, much like the mountains that surround campus. Ironically, the name “Rocky,” which is of English origin, is a derivation of the name “Roch” (also Rocco and Roque) after St. Roch, the Patron Saint of Dogs. In addition to the live bulldogs, the UNC Asheville mascot has also been depicted by an army of costumed students. Since the 1960s, students dressed as the bulldog have rallied the fans at thousands of games in support of Bulldog Athletics. The present incarnation of Rocky was introduced during the 2006-2007 season and is the first to accurately reflect the logo image of the bulldog used on signs and in print publications. That image, introduced during the 2004-05 season is the fifth official incarnation of the UNC Asheville bulldog logo. In the late 1990s, the image of the bulldog, or “Rocky,” was immortalized in aluminum through a gift by the Class of 1998. Sculpted by Matt West (‘00) and modeled after a canine friend of the University, Pete “Bubba” McGill, the statue of Rocky stands in front of the Justice Center as a sentinel over campus. Careful observers will note a chipped tooth and a torn ear, signs of his ferocity. Despite his tough outward appearance, the statue of Rocky is beloved by fans. Continuing a tradition begun by the Class of 1998, each year, during convocation and commencement, freshman and seniors rub his head for good luck before going to the ceremonies. Seniors are also often spotted getting their picture made riding Rocky in the days leading up to graduation. UNC Asheville is proud of its bulldog heritage. Today, Rocky, in all of his forms serves as a rallying point for fans far and wide.
