A small ceremony honoring the seniors will take place prior to the kickoff.
2009 REVIEW
Midfield Three members of the Chargers midfield are back from 2009 and inexperience will not be a factor in 2010. Senior Nick Pezzente will transition back to the midfield after spending last season on the backline. He enters his final season with three years of action on the pitch. Pezzente tallied one goal and one assist for a total of three points in 17 games last season. Junior Jean Carlos Rafael adds to the experience, coming into the season with 31 career appearances and two goals. Furthermore, newcomers Dave
The Schedule UNH opens the season on Thursday, September 2 with its home opener against non-conference foe, Concordia College. Three days later, the Chargers move right into Northeast-10 Conference action with an away match at Bentley on Sunday, September 5. Following its first road match of the campaign, New Haven then returns home Wednesday, September, 8 for a matchup against the Greyhounds of Assumption College.
2010 OUTLOOK
Defense The Chargers defense will unquestionably serve as the team’s strength, as six players return from last year’s backline. Juniors Jeff Lazzara and Josh Allen and sophomores Austin Coleman and Joel Rodriguez are all eager to get back on the field in 2010. Lazzara saw action in every game, including 14 starts a year ago. Coleman started in all 16 games that he appeared in, while Allen played in all 18 matches, starting in nine of them. Sophomore Joel Rodriguez also hopes to improve with one full season under his belt. Rodriguez started all 18 games last season, played in over 1,400 minutes and played for the Puerto Rican National Team in the off season. In addition, junior Michael Diker and sophomore Daniel Dragicevich each return for another season, while newcomers Hector Pommills, Bjorn Hansson and Edwin Caravajal will all compete for a chance to contribute.
Forward Senior Nick Dionne and junior Anthony Romano will spearhead the offensive attack for the Chargers this season. Dionne, who started all 18 games in the midfield last season, hopes to improve upon a seven-point performance a season ago. Romano returns with five goals and three assists throughout his short career. He finished tied for second on the team with seven points, posting three goals and one assist last season. Possibly joining Romano up top will be fellow classmate Steven Gennuso and sophomore Joe D’Antonio. Gennuso and D’Antonio combined for three goals and one assist in 2009. In addition newcomer Joe Pires, a proven scholastic talent, will join the attack as well.
2010 PLAYERS
Goalkeepers Juniors Jonathan Creem and J.J. Comeau will anchor the UNH goal this season. Competing for the top spot, the classmates combined to start all 18 games for the Chargers in 2009. Creem played over 1,300 minutes, while Comeau saw 320 minutes of action. Creem posted 75 saves coupled with a 2.58 goals against average, compared to a 2.53 GAA by Comeau. Sophomore Anastasios Petridis will add to the position.
Ljungquist, Andres Nunez, Gui Dos Santos and Jonathan Diker, will most likely contend for the final starting role in the Chargers midfield. Juniors Steven Gennuso and Anthony Romano, along with freshmen Pommills and Caravajal, may also contribute to the midfield in 2010.
2010 COACHES
A veteran squad has high hopes on taking the New Haven men’s soccer team to new heights in the 2010 Northeast-10 Conference standings. The Chargers return 16 student-athletes from last year’s squad and the strength of the team will undoubtedly lie within its upperclassmen, as the club brings back eight juniors and three seniors.

The Northeast-10 Conference enters its 30th year as there is little surprise why the Northeast-10 Conference has continued to grow stronger year by year since it’s inception and now stands as a model conference of NCAA Division II. The conference was built from the ground up with strong cornerstones and a vision of becoming the premier Division II NCAA athletic conference in the nation. A quick look around the league today will tell even the casual observer that the NE-10 has done so. The conference is a powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities that incorporates 16 institutions from New York and New England. The NE-10 sponsors the most championship sports of any Division II conference in the nation.
The founding fathers of the NE-10 were only happy to comply. Thus, a handful of athletic directors at smaller schools, classified Division II and of similar scope, academic makeup and athletic abilities hatched the idea of a new athletics conference in New England. Therefore, on October 9, 1979, a simple press release announced that a new unnamed Division II conference was being formed. Eight months later, at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Springfield, Mass., the league was publicly announced.
The Northeast-7 Conference established instant credibility in its membership and that credibility led to a slow but continued expansion through the years. The admittance of Saint Anselm in 1981 created the Northeast-8.

1976 NATIONAL RUNNERS-UP • 1977 FINAL FOUR • 1984 FINAL FOUR
Neville Brown, Forward, (1970-73) Inducted 1996 Brown made a major impact on the Charger soccer team in each of his four seasons. UNH won 44 of 66 games and received four post-season bids during his career. As a freshman, Brown led the squad in scoring with 14 goals and nine assists for 37 points, a total which also ranked among the nation’s scoring leaders.

Keith Russo, Back, (1980-84) Inducted 1990 Although he didn’t put any points on the scoreboard, Russo played a major role in New Haven’s success by not allowing the opposition to score any goals. As a defensive player, Russo was one of the reasons UNH was so successful in the early 1980s. He supplied the Chargers with outstanding defense and leadership during his career. Russo was a member of the 1981 defense which allowed only 10 goals in 20 games, a record which stood at his induction. During his stay, UNH posted a 56-15-7 record, including a school record 17 wins in 1983. His play earned him a great
HISTORY & RECORDS
John Kowalski, Assistant Coach/Back/Goalkeeper, (1969-72) Inducted 1988 Statistics do not justify the fine career output of Kowalski and his contribution to the soccer program, both as a player and as a coach. A stellar back for Coach Joe Machnik during his four seasons, he contributed heavily to the 19 shutouts posted by the team as he stopped the opposition before the goal. John could also be looked to when a back-up keeper was needed and he filled in admirably when called upon. The four-year letterwinner was a three time All-New England selection and was a key part of teams that participated in the University’s first ECAC and NCAA tournaments in soccer. Returning to UNH after graduating, he served as the right-hand man to Machnik for five seasons, during which UNH competed in five NCAA playoffs, and two NCAA Final Four Championships.
Dr. Delfim Pereira, Midfielder, (1967-68 & 1970-71) Inducted 1995 For four years, Pereira contributed more than goals and assists to the Chargers soccer program. He was a leader, a player who helped his teammates in any way necessary to win games. Pereira was team captain in 1969 and 1970 and was a major force in propelling UNH to its first ever national tournament appearance, the NAIA Final 8. He played every position during his career, including goal keeper. In his sophomore year, an Achilles injury prevented him from running, forcing Pereira to the goal mouth where he won his first game at the position. The next game, Pereira broke his hand while in the goal forcing him out of the lineup, but only for a few games for he returned later that season. He earned All-New England honors as a junior and senior and was named to the New England Intercollegiate All-Star Team in 1970. Pereira finished his career with 18 goals and 13 assists which ranked among the top ten at his graduation.
2009 REVIEW
Don Wynschenk, Soccer & Tennis Coach/Admin., (1964-84) Inducted 1993 Wynschenk played an important role during his association with UNH. He contributed to the education process as a teacher, a tennis coach and as Director of Physical Education and Intramural Sports. Wynschenk taught a myriad of subjects during his tenure and served on many faculty committees which helped bridge the gap between the North and Main campuses. His intramural programs encouraged students to come to the North Campus even though they were not directly involved with intercollegiate athletics. Wynschenk acted as a consultant for the design of the North Campus Athletic Complex. He stressed the totality of being a student-athlete, emphasizing the importance of academic success as well as athletic achievement. Wynschenk received the respect and admiration of faculty, staff and students throughout his career.
2010 OUTLOOK
Joseph Machnik, Coach/A.D. (1969-80) Inducted 1987 For 11 years the names Machnik and Charger Athletics were synonymous. He began his illustrious career as the head coach of the men’s soccer team, where he fielded some national caliber teams over 10 seasons. In 1970, he coached his Chargers to the NAIA finals and to the regionals the next season. UNH then qualified for the prestigious NCAA Regionals in 1973 and ’74, the NCAA Finals in 1976 and the Final Four in 1977. Named New England Intercollegiate Soccer League’s Coach of the Year two times he also served as the hockey coach for three seasons. “Dr. Joe” brought the same intensity and will to succeed to his position as the department’s Director of Athletics. In 1972, he was instrumental in elevating the athletic program by seeking and gaining Charger membership in the prestigious and competitive NCAA. A few years later, in 1975, he also introduced the women’s athletic program and gave the final approval on the proposal which upgraded the football and lacrosse programs from a club to a varsity sport.
Rick Kessel, Goalkeeper, (1975-78) Inducted 1992 Kessel did more than just stop shots for the UNH soccer team. He was a driving force behind the Chargers’ advancement to the 1976 NCAA Championship Game and to the 1977 NCAA Semifinals. Kessel posted seven shutouts in 1976, two more in the NCAA playoffs, and three in each of his final two seasons. Kessel’s leadership and ability to come up with big plays often while playing injured was a major contributing factor to the team’s success and to the development of its strong following. Kessel helped the Chargers earn four bids to the NCAA tournament and post a 48-13-10 record during his career. He registered 297 saves in four seasons which included a career-high 116 stops in 1976. He owned a career 1.05 goals against average, including three seasons in which he allowed less than one goal per game.

deal of recognition, highlighted by All-America honors in both 1982 and 1983. Russo was also named to the All-New England team in three of his four years as a Charger. He played on two NCAA playoff teams during his career, advancing to the Regional Final in both seasons.
2010 COACHES
Roberto Taylor, Forward, (9173-74) Inducted 1984 Achieved success that only few soccer players can claim, earning recognition both on the collegiate and professional levels, both regionally and nationally. He transferred to New Haven in 1973 and became an instant contributor to the team even though he did not play soccer during his junior college days. He quickly earned a reputation for being a “jack of all trades” because he played every position on the field with the exception of goalkeeper. In his first year, Taylor helped the team earn an ECAC playoff spot, leading the team in scoring with 33 points. For his effort, he earned All-New England honors, accolades he would also receive as a senior. Taylor made contributions each and every game during his two-year stay, scoring 25 goals in 26 games. He won the respect of his teammates as illustrated by his being named the team captain and most valuable player in 1974. Taylor later received the school’s Athlete of the Year award for his senior-year efforts. After leaving UNH, Taylor played two years of professional soccer, one with the American Soccer League and one with the North American Soccer League. He earned the ASL’s Rookie of the Year award before moving on to the NASL where he marked such legends as Pele.

His best year came in 1975 when he tied for the team lead in scoring with 16 points, netting five goals and collecting six assists.

Dr. Kaplan joined a nearly 85-yearold institution dedicated to experiential education. With enrollment of over 5,200 undergraduate and graduate students representing more than 35 states and some 45 countries, UNH has several nationally ranked programs in a number of majors in business, engineering, public safety, and the liberal arts and sciences. Dr. Kaplan was presented to the community in March 2004 by then Board of Governors Chairman Robert Alvine, who characterized the president-designate as energetic, well-liked and respected, focused and remarkably effective in mobilizing an institution’s resources to achieve target results. His highest priorities are strengthening the University’s endowment, growing enrollment to optimum levels, and engendering an atmosphere for excellence among all constituencies. He has focused on establishing strong relationships with members and organizations within UNH’s circle of constituents – faculty, students, administrators, alumni, friends, campus neighbors and leaders of Connecticut’s business and public service communities. As president, he oversees a faculty of nearly 400, 530 staff, and an annual budget of $84 million. Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at

After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.
Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike, and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to over twenty-five countries in twenty-five years, including Tanzania where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Dr. Kaplan also served as dean of Arts and Humanities at SUNY College at Buffalo, an institution with about 11,000 students; and as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University, an independent comprehensive institution of five colleges and 3,400 students, which is ranked by U. S. News & World Report as one of the top regional universities in the Midwest. He completed his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Eberhard-Karls Universität in Germany and holds the Master of Arts degree (with a concentration in philosophy, German, and English), also from EberhardKarls Universitat. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.
Dr. Kaplan grew up in Chicago, the son of a shoe store owner and an actress-comedienne. He said his stepfather, Irving Glovin, taught him to love ideas and appreciate the contributions we all need to make to good causes. He was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and film form (associate producer of the film), and is the President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the foundation. His wife grew up in Southwest Germany. She holds the equivalent of an American M.A. in Secondary Education and taught at a German high school. She is a ceramics artist and taught German and pottery during their time in Wise.

Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of state-of-the-art blue and yellow synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and find UNH a new athletics conference that best fits the institution’s long-term academic and athletic aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. The Charger football team will return to the gridiron for the 2009 season. A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of 38 Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting

In 2007, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance presented Chin with the Gold Key Award, the state’s top sporting honor which recognizes significant contributions to athletics in the State of Connecticut. Chin won the NACDA/Continental Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the Northeast Region in 199899 and was awarded the NACWAA Josten’s District I Administrator of the Year Award in 1997. Chin won the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Presidential Award in March 1997 and was the Connecticut Post Woman of the Year in 1993. Chin has also earned the U.S. Volleyball Association Meritorious Service Award and the YMCA Women in Leadership Award. As head women’s volleyball coach, Chin fashioned a Hall of Fame resume - literally - earning induction into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame in December, 2006. Chin is also a member of the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame (Inducted October, 1998), the Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (April, 1999), and the Athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater, SUNY-Cortland.

Her awards include six AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year distinctions as well as eight New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year honors. Chin coached the Chargers to twelve 30-win seasons, including six straight. She is also recognized internationally as a top volleyball clinician. As an administrator, Chin has served on over 30 national and regional committees. In addition to her most recent position as Chair of the Division II Management Council, her resume includes terms as chairperson for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Committee (1988-92), the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee (1997-2001), the NCAA Northeast Regional Football Committee (1999-2003), and the NACDA John McLendon Minority Scholarship Committee (1999-present).

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the department of intercollegiate athletics is to support the mission of the university and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. The department will provide growth opportunities to achieve in a nationally competitive intercollegiate program that attracts, nurtures and graduates student-athletes who under the guidance of a quality staff, represent the University of New Haven with character and integrity while achieving academic excellence, serving the community and pursuing excellence in their respective sports. DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHY Higher education has lasting importance on an individual’s future success. For this reason, the emphasis for the student-athlete experience at the University of New Haven is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. As an NCAA Division II program, our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead. The University of New Haven seeks to provide the world with leaders who can make a positive difference in a global society. Studentathletes are afforded unique opportunities for leadership because of the visibility provided through athletics competition. UNH’s intercollegiate program provides opportunities for its student-athletes to develop moral virtues, such as courage, self-confidence, and integrity and to learn communication and teamwork skills associated with outstanding leadership. Thus the Department of Athletics helps the University satisfy its primary aspiration, which is to prepare students to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives in a global society through experiential, collaborative, and discovery-based learning. The Department of Athletics is committed to delivering intercollegiate athletics programs that are consistent with the University’s mission and generates the trust and support of its various constituencies. The goal of the department is to field sports teams that compete successfully against other NCAA Division II teams while upholding the academic standards of the University of New Haven. The department is also committed to conducting its programs in strict adherence to the policies, rules and regulations set by the University’s administration, Board of Governors, the NCAA and the Northeast-10 Conference. Through its programs, the department gives its student-athletes of different genders, races, religions, national origins and sexual orientation opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competition. The intercollegiate program will function free of discrimination with a University commitment to the adherence to Title IX and the Office of Civil Rights guidelines. A major goal of the Department of Athletics is to help student-athletes realize the full potential of their athletic abilities while also increasing their intellectual capabilities and providing them a meaningful opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree. The department will not compromise its commitment to educate and graduate its student-athletes. Department of Athletics personnel are expected to represent the University in a manner consistent with UNH’s principles and values. All personnel are expected to perform their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, ethical behavior and sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes fairly and with respect and to facilitate leadership that helps them mature physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS • The UNH women’s volleyball team has reached the NCAA Sweet 16 seventeen times since 1983, and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight 11 times, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2008. • Baseball has consistently been ranked as one of the winningest Division II programs in NCAA history. Baseball Coach Emeritus Frank “Porky” Vieira retired after the 2006 season as Division II’s all-time winningest coach by percentage, and logged 1,127 career victories. The team has appeared in 17 College World Series and made 32 Regional appearances. Baseball has also produced nine major league players, including former Cy Young winner Steve Bedrosian of the Philadelphia Phillies. • Women’s Basketball won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1987. • The football program appeared in four NCAA championship playoffs, earning runner-up status in 1997. That title-game appearance made UNH the only football team in the State of Connecticut to ever compete for a national title and the smallest school (in terms of enrollment) to compete for an NCAA Championship. • Tailback Roger Graham won the 1993 Harlon Hill Trophy as the top Division II Football Player in the nation. • Men’s Soccer reached the NCAA finals in 1976 and finished third in 1977.
