CHARGER SOCCER
The 2013 University of New Haven men’s soccer team returns nine student-athletes from last year’s squad as second-year head coach Roy Fink looks to build upon a foundation set in his first season on Kayo Field while also adding a host of new talent into the fold.
Among returners, senior Gui Dos Santos and junior Andres Torres will again be called upon as two of the Chargers’ primary finishers. Dos Santos notched three goals and a pair of assists last season, while Torres found the back of the net five times and handed out two assists in his first season with the Blue and Gold. Sophomore JP DiTommaso will also see increased minutes up front, where he will be playing alongside his older brother, junior Sal DiTommaso – a transfer from Division I Central Connecticut State University. The largest group of returners is in the midfield, where four Chargers will resume their posts on the pitch at Kayo Field. Senior Edwin Carvajal, junior Eric Robertson and sophomores Bobby Cruz and Cam Soltis will all spent time running the New Haven offense and as the first line of defense as Fink’s primary midfielders. The lone returning member of the Chargers’ starting back row is sophomore Oskar Sewerin, a Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team pick and the UNH Athletics Male Rookie of the Year. In addition to
starting all 17 matches on the defensive end, the 6-foor-3 Sewerin picked up a goal and three assists as a key component of New Haven’s set pieces in the offensive zone. Sophomore James Pyatsky will assume the starting spot in goal in 2013. Pyatsky appeared in six matches, including one start, totaling 233 minutes between the posts. He will be spelled by freshman Jason Smith, an All-Eastern Connecticut Conference goalkeeper at Ledyard High School last fall. Ten additional newcomers will enter the fold for Coach Fink this fall. Bringing collegiate experience to Kayo Field is Chris Neil, who joins the Chargers’ midfield with two years of eligibility remaining after winning a pair of Region XXI Championships and earning First Team All-New England honors at Dean College. The two newcomers traveling the farthest to West Haven are Emil Thomsen, a back from Værløse, Denmark, and midfielder Oscar Johannesson from Hässleholm, Sweden. Connecticut natives Danny Manfredi and Rob Poirier, Massachusetts products Alain Laurent and Bikash Bhandari, Will Richard and Matt Dillon from New Jersey and New Yorker John LaTouche round out the list of new talent. Eight matches at Kayo Field highlight the 2013 schedule as the Chargers host Dowling and travel to Saint Thomas Aquinas, Queens and Molloy in addition to the 13-match Northeast-10 Conference slate. The NE-10 Championship will be held from Nov. 5-10 at campus sites with the higher seeds hosting throughout the eight-team, three-round tournament. NCAA postseason action begins on Nov. 15.

The Chargers posted a 6-9-2 record last fall, including road victories at both defending East Coast Conference Champion NYIT and a No. 15 Southern New Hampshire program that went on to win the Northeast-10 crown and advance to the NCAA National Quarterfinals. In 2013, New Haven eyes a return to the Northeast-10 Championship for the first time in 2010 in search of its first-ever NE-10 postseason win in its sixth season as a member of the highly competitive conference.

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 on the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League’s All-Star team as well

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.
2013 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.
2014 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.
2014 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.

CHARGERS IN THE HALL as the the National Soccer Coaches Association All-Region squad. Brown also appeared on the NEISL and NSCA All-Star teams in 1971 and 1973. He ranked among the team’s leading scorers for three more seasons before finishing his career with 45 goals and 31 assists, numbers which still place him among the school’s all-time scoring leaders. Brown was named team captain in his senior season. At the time of his induction, Brown held the school record for career assists with 31 and ranked second all-time in both total point with 121 and career goals with 45. 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. Nick Sakiewicz, Goalkeeper, (1979-82) Inducted 1999 Sakiewicz entered the UNH Hall of Fame as one of the most successful goaltenders in school history. He still holds several school records, including most shutouts in a career with 25 during his four seasons. He was an AllNew England Collegiate Conference and All-New England selection during his career. During his senior season, Sakiewicz allowed only 17 goals in 19 games and stopped 123 of 140 shots on goal. His best season came during his junior year, in which he allowed only 10 goals in 20 games, and stopped 121 of 131 shots, including 11 shutouts. Following graduation, Sakiewicz played professionally in both France and Portugal. He served one year as the Vice-President of Corporate Sales for Major League Soccer and at induction was the President and General Manager of Major League Soccer’s Tampa Bay Mutiny. Peter Zimmerman, Forward/Midfielder (1975-78) Inducted 2005 During the 1970’s, the versatile Peter Zimmerman was an integral part of UNH’s soccer success, ranking among the team’s leading scorers during each of his four seasons. 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. He set an example as a three-year team captain with his ability to inspire confidence in his teammates, and his spirit and love of the game were evident each time he took the field. Zimmerman also represented the team in many campus

activities with class and character. In 1979, his athletic excellence and scholarship were recognized as he received UNH’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. Edward Zimmitti, Forward (1965-66) Inducted 2013 A scoring sensation for the Chargers from 1965-66, Edward Zimmitti helped lead the only undefeated men’s soccer team in program history. In two short years as a player, he re-wrote the New Haven record books and was twice named the team’s Most Valuable Player. As a rookie, the Middletown, Conn. native hit the collegiate soccer scene with an impressive 23 goals and 11 assists. The feat becomes more incredible taking into consideration the team’s mere 10 game schedule. Zimmitti tallied five of the six goals scored in a 6-1 victory over Windham College during his rookie season. His 57 points rank him among the top 10 in New Haven history and led the Chargers to a perfect 10-0-0 record. Zimmitti’s second season was no different as the Chargers continued their winning ways. With four victories to open the season, New Haven set a program record with 22-straight triumphs. Zimmitti scored another 24 goals in just nine games, ranking him among the program’s top single-season performances once again. The team concluded the season with a 7-2-0 record and Zimmitti garnered New Haven Athletics’ Most Valuable Player award. He finished his collegiate playing career with 105 points (using modern scoring rules) to rank him fourth in program history. He also ranks third all-time with 47 goals. Bruce Bednarski, Forward (1977-80) Inducted 2014 A three-year captain for New Haven men’s soccer, Bruce Bednarski earned All-America honors for the Chargers and was an integral piece of two teams that advanced to the NCAA postseason. Bednarski was selected to participate in the 1978 National Sports Festival, where the country’s top 60 players prepared for the 1980 Olympics. During his tenure, the Chargers reached the 1977 Final Four and the 1978 Elite Elight. Bednarski earned AllAmerica honors as a senior, registering six gols and seven assists. Following graduation, Bednarski was a 1981 draft pick of the Hartford Hellions of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He was named a Bartels Fellow in the spring of 2011. Today, as senior vice president of business development with XipLink, Bednarski cultivates strategic global relationships for a company that produces software and hardware solutions that improve the performance of wireless communication networks.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. 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 also served as dean of Arts and Humanities at SUNY College at Buffalo and as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University. In addition to earning his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Dr. Kaplan holds a Master of Arts degree (with a concentration in philosophy, German and English) from Eberhard-Karls Universität and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.
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 more than 30 countries during their 35 years together, including Tanzania, where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They have a son and three daughters. 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. Irv Glovin was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and film form (he was associate producer of the film), and is President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the Foundation. Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan grew up in Southwest Germany. She holds the equivalent of an American M.A. in Secondary Education and taught at a German high school.

We have joined institutions across 22 conferences and independents in committing to safe, fun, and entertaining sporting experiences on Division II campuses. We have signed the pledge to create and continue family-friendly experiences for everyone.
NCAA Division II presidents and chancellors affirm that athletics events should reflect the values of higher education and the mission of each institution. Division II emphasizes learning and development in a personal setting. As chancellors and presidents, we are concerned about the uncivil behavior exhibited at college athletics contests and thereby pledge to work together to make respectful, familyfriendly events a standard of the Division II experience.

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 • Women’s Basketball won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1987, becoming the first team from the Northeast Region to win the title. • Women’s track and field has produced arguably the most successful individual student-athlete in Charger athletics history. Shannon Gagne won an unmatched five national championships during the 2010-11 academic year and helped bring the program a fourth place finish at the 2011 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field National Championship meet - the highest finish in program history. • The UNH women’s volleyball team has reached the NCAA Sweet 16 twenty times since 1983, and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight twelve times. • 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 33 Regional appearances, including their most recent run in 2013. • Baseball has also produced nine major league players, including former Cy Young winner Steve Bedrosian of the Philadelphia Phillies and First Round Draft Pick Cameron Drew. • The football program has appeared in six NCAA championship playoffs, earning runner-up status in 1997. At the time, the titlegame 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. Most recently, the football program has appeared in the NCAA tournament in both 2011 and 2012. • 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 as has appeared in three Final Fours.
