2011 SEASON OUTLOOK Heading into the 2011 season, the New Haven men’s soccer program looks to rely heavily on their veteran leadership. The Chargers return 17 student-athletes from last year’s squad that reached the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament with a 6-7 league record and 7-10-1 overall mark. With just six newcomers and three freshmen, the Chargers have plenty of experience to make some noise in conference play this fall. Of the team’s 23-player roster, 17 are upperclassmen including eight returning seniors. Fifth-year head coach Joshua Krusewski hopes his squad can use last year’s playoff appearance as motivation to return to postseason play in 2011. The ’10 postseason appearance was the Chargers first since 2006 and first since moving into NE10 conference. The team has a tremendous amount of depth and according to Krusewski, there are many interchangeable parts to this year’s squad and several players can contribute in more than one position. Goalkeepers Seniors Jonathan Creem and J.J. Comeau will once again compete for the top spot between the posts. The battle for the starting keeper position has been an ongoing competition for the previous three seasons, which has seen both Creem and Comeau see significant playing time. Last year, Creem made 12 starts with a .782 save percentage and 1.46 goals against average while Comeau started six games with a 4-2 record, .865 save percentage and 0.77 GAA. Junior Anastasios Petridis will join the two at the position. 28
28
Defense There will be plenty of experience on the Chargers backline this fall. Senior Anthony Romano, junior Joel Rodriguez and freshman Tim Hines will receive the majority of playing time while junior Javier Nunez and junior newcomer Junnior Torres will compete for the fourth spot on the back left. Romano started five games last season and will likely make the transition from forward to the backline this fall. Rodriguez has started 33 games since joining the Chargers as a freshman. His experience will contribute to the guidance of freshman Hines who will play alongside him on the right center of the backline. Torres joins the team as a junior from Middlesex Community College, while Nunez appeared in 13 games last year and totaled 312 minutes. Senior Josh Allen and junior Daniel Dragicevich look to contribute in the backline as well, while senior Dave Ljungquist and sophomore Edwin Carvajal may also see significant minutes on defense. Midfield The Chargers’ midfield will act as the core of this year’s squad with five upperclassmen projected to see significant playing time. The five-player centerfield will be led by junior Joseph D’Antonio who will play many positions this fall, including an attacking midfielder. D’Antonio started all 18 games a year ago and led the team in shots (30), shots on goal (13) and game winning goals (2). He was also tied for the lead in points (10) and assists (2) as a sophomore and may see time in the center, the right side or even at forward this season. Seniors Jean Carlos Rafeal and Steven Gennuso will accommodate the front

As a junior, Rafeal was tied for second on the team with four total points and tied for third with two goals, while Gennuso totaled 778 minutes on the pitch. Expected to start in the defensive midfield is junior Austin Coleman who started 17 games a year ago as a sophomore. Coleman will make the adjustment from the backline to midfield this season and is expected to make strong contributions. Playing alongside him will be the junior transfer, Firmiano Ribeiro. The Chargers will have plenty of depth in this group with graduate student Clancy Purcell and freshmen Eric Robertson and Jacob Appelbaum also seeing significant minutes. Ljungquist and Carvajal may also be asked to play in the midfield and sophomore Gui Dos Santos could possibly see time at the position as well.

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. In 1984, Hartford joined the ECAC Division I North Atlantic Conference but The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of was immediately replaced by Merrimack. successes – the growth from seven original schools to more than double its size 20 years The “Northeast-10” name came about when later – the contention for and winning of national Saint Michael’s and Quinnipiac joined the league championships – the change in league structure in 1987 and the conference remained stable from on-campus administration to a central until 1995 when Springfield left for Division governing location – the anticipation of, coping III.

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. He helped the Chargers to their first-ever post-season tournament as the team finished seventh in the 1970 NAIA playoffs. His contributions did not go unnoticed as the forward was placed 33well on the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League’s All-Star team as

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.
2010 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.
2011 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.
2011 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.

Brown graduated Cum Laude in 1974 and received the Silversmith Award for outstanding contribution to UNH. Carl Babb, Forward, (1974-75) Inducted 1998 Babb was an outstanding contributor to the UNH program after transferring from Bronx Community College, where he earned All-America honors. The forward finished his UNH career with 24 points in 29 games, almost a point per game ratio. 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. In his senior season, the men’s soccer team posted a 10-4-2 record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history. He led a 1975 team that set the standard for future UNH teams, as the Chargers went on to qualify for the NCAA Tournament the next three seasons. Babb also was a member of the first track team at New Haven, competing in the 100- and 200-meters and 4x100 meter relay.

Zimmerman finished his career with 24 goals and 18 assists for 66 points. As a freshman, he netted a single-season career high eight goals for 16 points and never looked back. Zimmerman tallied four goals and 12 points as a sophomore and junior, and had two goals and nine points as a senior. During his time in a Charger uniform, the program posted a 51-15-10 overall record, making NCAA playoff appearances in each season. In 1976, Zimmerman helped the team reach the NCAA Division II National Championship match. New Haven moved on to the National Semifinals in Seattle, Washington by defeating Southern Connecticut State, 1-0 in four overtimes, as he scored the game-winning goal. In 1977, the Chargers again reached the Final Four returning from Miami, Fla. with a third place finish. One of three brothers to compete at UNH, Zimmerman played two years with brother Bernard.

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.

HISTORY & RECORDS
2010 REVIEW
Deborah Chin became the school’s fourth director of athletics in 1993, and currently oversees a department which sponsors 17 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair for the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008. UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament play 50 times in 14-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. 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 40 Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting

Among her numerous honors, Chin was named the NACWAA NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year in 2009 after serving as the D-II Management Council Chair. 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. • Women’s track and field has produced arguably the most successful individual student-athlete in Charger history. Shannon Gagne won five national championships during the 2010-11 academic year and helped bring the program a fourth place finish at the 2011 National Championship meet. • 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.
