DONS SOCCER LEGACY WHERE TRADITION GOT ITS DEFINITION One of the truly legendary programs in NCAA men’s soccer, the University of San Francisco has compiled an outstanding resume of success throughout its long, distinguished history.

DON OF A NEW ERA

Under the direction of two NSCAA Hall of Fame Coaches – Gus Donoghue and Steve Negoesco – the Dons captured national championships in four consecutive decades beginning in 1950 and truly dominated the 1970s winning four NCAA titles to go along with a runner-up finish in a six-year span.

Representing a global university, USF soccer has fielded student-athletes from six continents representing more than 60 countries since 1970.

With four NCAA Tournament appearances and three WCC titles in the last five seasons, Dons soccer looks poised to continue the championship legacy on the Hilltop.

Clockwise from the top: 1966 NCAA Tournament Most Offensive Player Sandor Hites. Two-time All-American Erik Nielsen. Three-time All-American Andy Atuegbu helped guide USF to two NCAA Titles.

USF ATHLETICS TRADITION BEYOND THE COURT With an athletic program committed to contend at the highest level, USF has seen some great success in recent years across every sport.

USF enjoyed a tremendous 2008-09 season highlighted by two West Coast Conference Championships, while four teams and three individuals competed in the NCAA Tournament. Men’s Soccer won its 12th WCC title and made its 31st NCAA Tournament appearance, while Men’s Golf captured its 10th league title and advanced to NCAA Regional play for the first time since 1991.

In the last five years, three San Francisco athletic programs have won their inaugural WCC Team or Individual Championships, and eight USF Student Athletes have qualified for NCAA Regional Competition.

Off the playing field, USF student athletes continue to excel academically as well, as the numbers show!

SINCE 2004:

112 86 24 10 7 2

USF Student-Athletes have earned West Coast Conference All-Academic Team selections

DONS LEGACY REPRESENTING A GLOBAL UNIVERSITY: An urban university located in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities, the University of San Francisco has long been a pioneer for social justice and students from more than 80 countries currently attend USF. Dons Athletics have long been pioneers of diversity and three of USF’s most legendary programs exemplify this trait.

USF’s 1955-56 NCAA Championship basketball team was the first team in NCAA history to feature three African American starters, headlined

by NBA legends K.C. Jones and Bill Russell more a decade before West Texas State started five en route to the 1966 title.

One of the most successful programs in NCAA history, Dons soccer captured five NCAA Championships beginning in 1966 featuring a “United Nations” roster, with prominent players from four continents.

In the 2007-08 academic year student athletes from 34 countries represented the Green and Gold.

Top: Andy Atuegbu, named 1975 & 1976 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player & a member of Soccer America’s Team of the Century

USF’s storied 1951 “Unbeaten, Untied and Uninvited” football team was one of the top teams in collegiate history, featuring an NCAA record three players who would be inducted into the National Football League Hall of Fame in Canton. A berth in the Orange Bowl was offered, following an unblemished 9-0 season, but only if the Dons left their two African-American players at home. The team declined and USF was forced to immediately drop football due to financial problems.

2009 PREVIEW matches for the Dons and captured All-WCC Honorable Mention and WCC Freshman Team selection, while Victor Wennberg played heavy minutes in the USF back during his first collegiate season. Justin Warren emerged for a strong sophomore campaign, starting all 21 contests for the Dons in 2008.

DEFENDING WEST COAST CONFERENCE CHAMPION DONS POISED FOR ANOTHER TITLE RUN IN 2009 SAN FRANCISCO RETURNS POTENT MIX OF OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER AND DEFENSIVE STOPPERS Last season, bolstered by an outstanding group of newcomers, San Francisco surged to its third West Coast Conference Championship in five seasons and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time since 2004. It was the league-leading 12th WCC title captured by the Dons and the 34th overall conference crown as USF advanced to its 31st NCAA Tournament appearance.

USF clearly peaked at the right moment in 2008. After an 0-4 start the Dons bounced back and posted a 9-4-2 mark in their next 15 contests highlighted by eight shutout triumphs.

The Green and Gold led the WCC in team goals allowed for the third time in four years thanks to the efforts of a pair of senior all-league selections defender Jeff Russell (1st) and goalkeeper Jeremy Coupe (HM).

Record-Setting Season for Chinn Propels Dons Charge Leading the Dons offensively was Conor Chinn, who enjoyed a recordsetting year at striker for the Green and Gold, accounting for a remarkable 17 of USF’s 25 scoring strikes on the season.

Chinn became the third Don in five seasons to capture WCC Player of the Year honors and ranked No. 8 among national Division I leaders in goals per game (0.81).

Head coach Erik Visser completed his 31st season associated with USF soccer and earned his third WCC Coach of the Year honor in the last five seasons. A key player on two NCAA

Championship teams at USF, Visser has coached the Green and Gold in a remarkable 668 matches.

Green and Gold Poised For Another Title Run in 2009 After losing just five seniors to graduation, the Dons looked poised to make another run in an increasingly competitive WCC this season. USF returns seven players who started at least 15 matches last season and nine who saw action in at least 10 league contests during the Dons’ title run.

USF returns 96 percent of its offensive production from a year ago.

One of the most dynamic offensive players on the West Coast, Chinn captured All-Region selection in 2008 after shattering the WCC record for most goals during league matches, finding the back of the net 14 times. A Second Team All-WCC pick last season, junior Bryan Burke enjoyed a breakthrough season as a sophomore and looks for increased production in 2009. The Dons return a pair of senior All-WCC Second Team selections in the midfield. Jonathan Levi ranked second on the team in goals (3) and points (9) during his first season on the Hilltop, while Leon Williams led the Dons in assists (4) to go along with a pair of game-winning goals in his inaugural campaign in the Green and Gold. Victor Cortez also returns for his third season with USF and is expected to start in the back for the Dons.

San Francisco welcomes three returning starters to its backline this season. Omar Elmasri started all 21

Newest Dons Looking to Deliver San Francisco welcomes another large group of newcomers to the Hilltop.

USF focused its recruiting efforts on bolstering the defense once again entering the 2009 season after losing Russell, the team MVP, Coupe and fellow graduating senior goalkeeper Eric Conner. Freshman goalkeeper Brendan Roslund (Denver, CO) brings an outstanding prep resume, while senior transfer Franco Carotenuto (Phoenix, AZ) was a record-setting keeper at Division II power Grand Canyon. Ryan Newland (Truckee, CA) and Jojo Vitale (Las Vegas, NV) will also compete for time between the pipes for San Francisco in 2009.

USF also welcomes senior defender Kyle Dagan (Westlake Village, CA) who spent the last three seasons at Notre Dame. Freshman defender Cody Barnett (Las Vegas, NV) will also look to contribute in the back for the Dons.

Freshmen Vinny Caloiaro (Saratoga, CA), Gabriel Goldsmith (Oakland, CA) and Nick Rihn (Glendale, CA) look to make their presence felt for the Dons.

San Francisco also added a pair of international playmakers up top.

Freshman Oscar Englund (Stockholm, Sweden) is a very technical, experienced striker who looks to make an instant impact for the Dons.

Freshman Gijs Niehe (Bussum, Holland) figures to develop into a offensive threat before his career on the Hilltop is done.

Goalkeepers With the departures of Conner and Coupe, who combined to play every minute in goal for the Dons the last two seasons, USF enters 2009 with no fewer than five keepers on the roster. Last season at Grand Canyon, Carotenuto led Division II in saves percentage (.875) and was fifth in GAA (0.56). In two seasons as the starter for the Antelopes, Carotenuto posted 16 shutouts and recorded 162 saves. A highly decorated prep goalie at Denver Christian, Roslund competed for the prestigious Colorado Rapids Development Academy.

Newland was the starting goalkeeper on three Nevada State Championship teams while at Truckee High School and twice captured All-State honors. Vitale led Bishop Gorman High School to

2009 PREVIEW back-to-back state titles in 2006-07 and was a two-time all-state selection.

Sophomore Bryce Boyd saw the bulk of the action between the pipes for the Dons during the Spring season and showed signs of emerging as a quality option for USF. Defenders Elmasri and Warren started every match for San Francisco last season and look poised for another strong campaign directing the Dons defensive efforts. Wennberg also saw plenty of action in his first season on the Hilltop and looks for an even better sophomore year. Cortez started 18 matches in the back for USF as a freshman and figures prominently in the Dons defensive plans in 2009. Senior Justin Kendro returned from a serious knee injury in time for WCC play and spent time in the midfield and the back for the Dons and figures to see action in both spots during his final season on the Hilltop. Dagan looks to make an instant impact for the Dons on the back line this season after contributing to three Irish teams making deep runs in the NCAA Tournament.

Redshirt freshmen Samir Najmeh and Luke Offutt, true freshman Barnett and junior Hunter Jarrett will challenge for time on the back line for the Dons.

Midfielders San Francisco is loaded in the midfield this season with Levi and Williams returning to one of the top units in the conference. Both captured All-WCC Second Team selection in their first season on the Hilltop and both ranked in the top 10 in assists and shots during league action, combining for seven assists and 73 shots. After productive springs, Levi and Williams looked poised to finish their collegiate careers with a flourish. Kendro spent time in the outside midfield spots last season and figures prominently once again in 2009. Adam Nowak saw action in nine matches for the Dons as a freshman and looks to contribute more as a sophomore.

Three freshmen – Caloiaro, Goldsmith and Rihn – look to make a mark in their first seasons in the Green and Gold. Sophomore Tom Claycomb and Brian McEvoy will challenge for time in a highly competitive position.

Forwards Chinn headlines the USF strikers and enters his final season on the Hilltop as the all-time WCC leader in scoring strikes with 19 in league matches. Chinn passed former USF standout and 2004 WCC Player of the Year Aaron Chandler

COACHING STAFF ERIK VISSER

Head Coach, Ninth Year (USF, 1982) 2004-05 & 2008 West Coast Conference Coach of the Year 2004 NSCAA Far West Coach of the Year

T

he University of San Francisco, as one of the great traditional soccer powers in NCAA, has enjoyed a great legacy of coaches. Following the lead of Gus Donoghue, Bob Braghetta and Stephen Negoesco, is head coach Erik Visser.

Now in his fourth decade associated with the USF soccer program, Visser has built his legacy by leading the Dons on a remarkable five-year run. San Francisco owns four NCAA Tournament appearances and three West Coast Conference Championships (2004-05, 2008) during the span. The Dons have captured top-20 national rankings four times in the past five seasons. His fellow coaches recognized his leadership by electing him 2004 NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year while league peers tabbed him as WCC Coach of the Year three times (2004-05, 2008).

A True Don Visser knows the great tradition of USF well. He was a top defender on two NCAA champion soccer teams on the Hilltop in 1978 and 1980. His marking of Indiana's Angelo DiBernardo was a key to the 1978 crown. During his playing career in the Green and Gold, the Dons posted a remarkable 91-6-5 slate, including a 10-2 record in NCAA Tournament play.

After graduating from USF in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in government, he became part of Negoesco's coaching staff.

Visser Ready for 32nd Season on the Hilltop Entering the 2009 campaign, Visser has coached in a remarkable 668 games at USF and during his standout fouryear playing career, competed in 102 for a total of 768 games representing the Green and Gold. He ranks third in career victories with 79 behind NSCAA Hall-of-Famers Donoghue (1946-1960), who tallied 121 and mentor Negoesco

(1962-2000) who compiled a then NCAA record 544. Visser recorded his 50th career victory at Portland on November 10, 2005 and owns an overall mark of 79-66-11.

His ability to win coincides with his eye for talent, recruiting three of the last five West Coast Conference Player of the Year award winners Conor Chinn (2008) Rob Valentino (2006) and Aaron Chandler (2004). The last USF player to win the conference's top award prior to Chandler was All-American Staale Soebye in 1993 and 1994. Valentino also became the first Dons' player to be selected for the WCC Defender of the Year in 2005. Four of Visser's players captured NSCAA Far West All-Region, honors, 12 were named to the WCC First Team and another 17 earned WCC Second Team selection.

Visser’s Coaching Philosophy Following his Dutch roots, Visser's coaching is based on a strong belief in an attacking, creative style of play. That mirrors the style of Negoesco's USF teams, who played a possession game based on accurate passing and free movement. Known as a player's coach, Visser's strength has always been his

communication with his teams.

Visser also is a great fit for the University, with a strong belief in the education of the student-athlete. He served as USF's assistant athletic director for compliance and academic services for nine years at the Hilltop. He received a USF Merit Service Award for his duties to the University.

The 51-year old has strong ties to all levels of the soccer world. When USF started its women's soccer program in 1985, Visser was tabbed as the program's first head coach. He guided the women through the 1990 season.

US National Team Service Visser was involved in the USA National Team program, having served as the top assistant for the Under-20 national team which finished 13th in the 2001 Youth World Cup in Argentina.

Among the top young American stars he worked with were Landon Donovan,

COACHING STAFF Bobby Convey, DaMarcus Beasley and Edson Buddle. He also served (1996-98) as the region IV Olympic Development Under-15 head coach.

Visser is proud to continue the USF tradition and follow the legendary Stephen Negoesco, who recruited him. He is putting his own stamp on the Dons' program.

"Steve has made a huge positive impact on my life and career," said Visser upon taking over the head coaching spot after the 2000 season.

"I am very honored to continue the rich tradition of USF soccer. San Francisco is a unique city and USF is a unique University. We have the opportunity to recruit both the best players from the western United States and also the world. This school is a special place.

A great city, a small school with a great academic tradition and a nationally known soccer program."

Visser has earned two graduate degrees at USF. He received his master's degree in education in 1986 and completed his master's in sports and fitness management in 1993.

Prior to coming to USF, Visser played on the prestigious Ajax Amsterdam junior team and major division amateur soccer for AFC Amsterdam.

Visser holds a US Soccer "A" license, a US Soccer Fitness license and a NSCAA Director of Coaching diploma.

Erik, his wife Martha, son, Brian, and daughter, Lauren, reside in American Canyon, in Napa County.

JOSH MCKAY

Associate Head Coach, Seventh Year (USF, 1995)

H

ired in 2003, Josh McKay has been an integral part of USF's recent success. Since the beginning of his tenure as an assistant to head coach Erik Visser, the Dons have gone 69-60-11, highlighted by four NCAA tournament appearances and three West Coast Conference titles in the last five seasons. Following the 2005 season, McKay was promoted to the position of associate head coach.

“Josh brings a lot to our soccer program,” said Dons’ head coach Erik Visser. “He played soccer at the highest collegiate level here at USF, has extensive pro experience and a USSF 'A' license. He deserves a great deal of credit for our recent success and our successes to come."

From 1996 to 2002, McKay played an impressive 153 contests in the professional ranks as a member of the Colorado Rapids of the MLS and the USL's Richmond Kickers. With the Kickers in 1997, McKay accumulated 10 points on four goals and two assists.

As McKay competed on the roster from 1997 to 2002, Richmond took no worse than third in their division. In 1998 and 2001, the Kickers were crowned division champions and finished as league championship runner-ups in McKay's final season.

Known as a 'tremendous left-sided threat coming out of the back field', McKay was part of a tough Kickers defense which in 2000 recorded 13 shutouts and allowed only 25 goals. At that time Head Coach Leigh Cowlishaw said of McKay, "[Josh is a] proven A-League professional who leads by example." During his time with Richmond, McKay also served as the Kickers’ Youth Soccer Club’s Coach and Assistant Technical Director for three seasons.

A strong and powerful defender/midfielder, McKay hails from the soccer-rich Pleasanton area. After playing a season

at UNLV, McKay returned to USF as a sophomore and led the Dons into the NCAA tournament as a junior (1993) and senior (1994). McKay played in 67 games in his collegiate career, including 48 in three seasons at USF. He scored six career goals, including three game-winners.

Another highlight was making one of the three penalty kick tiebreaker goals to advance USF at Fresno State in an NCAA playoff game in 1994.

In 1995, McKay earned his Bachelor's Degree from USF in English Composition. McKay and his wife Barbara have two children, Xavier Rhys (2) and Quinn Avery was born in January of 2009. The McKays live in Pleasanton, Calif.

VISSER ON VITALE: “Jojo had a very solid high school career at Bishop Gorman. He has many of the ingredients that we look for in a goalkeeper.

He’s quick. He’s athletic. He has good presence and good feet. He is capable of making the big save and I think he will be competing right away.”

WEST COAST CONFERENCE When the West Coast Conference got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind - to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball.

What has grown from that original vision 57 years ago is a strong athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports.

The eight current members of the WCC span the Western United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sundrenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission.

The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and

women's cross-country, men's and women's golf, women's rowing, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's tennis and volleyball.

The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (Pacific, Saint Mary's, San Francisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara) as the California Basketball Association, playing its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the "West Coast Athletic Conference" in 1956. The name was shortened to "West Coast Conference" in 1989. The current full-time lineup of WCC schools has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the country.

*USF Women’s Soccer

His friends called him “Gus” and he is considered by most soccer enthusiasts as one of the greatest soccer coaches produced in the United States. Gus Donoghue was born March 17, 1911 in Glaskow, Scotland and first learned the game of soccer at St. Aloysuis Elementary School, a Jesuit institution in Garnet Hill, Scotland.

Gus came to San Francisco in 1925 and attended St. Ignatius High School and St. Ignatius College, as USF then was known. He was USF’s student body president and received his Master’s Degree from the University of California in 1937 and his Ph. D. from Gus Donoghue was inducted into the Stanford University in 1953.

NSCAA Hall of Fame in 2001.

Gus was the major factor in USF’s first “Golden Era” in soccer in 1932-36, when the Dons took five consecutive conference championships. He captained the Dons and was named All-American in 1934, 1935 and 1936. He was a member of the United States Olympic Team in 1936.

Coach Donoghue took over the Hilltop coaching duties in 1941 and 1942. He left USF for military duty as a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy and returned in 1946. Gus received the “Coach of the Year” award from the San Francisco Football Association in 1950. That year, USF played in the first college soccer bowl game in the US in St. Louis, Missouri and shared the first recognized national championship with Penn State.

Gus retired from the USF as Director of Admissions in 1973. He passed away on September 9, 2001.

Coach Donoghue leaves a legacy that will live forever in the hearts of his team members: 121 wins, 12 losses, and 14 ties; 89 matches without a loss; 11 straight Northern California Intercollegiate Soccer Conference titles and 2 national championships. His .871 winning percentage is the best among NCAA Division I coaches.

Gus Donoghue brought dignity to the game of soccer. He impressed upon his teams the importance of skills, sportsmanship, courage and the Christian way of life. He had the unique ability and leadership to develop many inexperienced college men into great or All-American players while they were at the Hilltop.

How did he do it? Gus cared, Gus recognized, Gus inspired, Gus gave of himself, Gus exemplified the highest qualities of human character.

The recipient of the Gus Donoghue Award is highly honored. It represents the highest recognition the University of San Francisco can bestow upon a soccer player wearing the Green and Gold.

NCAA CHAMPIONS

1966

T

he Dons under Negoesco made the NCAA semifinals for the first time since the tournament started in 1959. Michigan State, Army, and Long Island University completed the soccer “final four” in Berkeley.

Negoesco and his Dons met Army in the semifinal game at wet and foggy Memorial Stadium. The field was a mess, forcing many of the West Point booters shot attempts to sail off target. Negoesco’s talented Dons, who won their two previous games in the mud, were better prepared.

Second half goals by Luis Sagastume and Sandor Hites gave the Dons a 2-0 victory, with Olympian Mike Ivanow recording the shutout.

In improved weather conditions the following day, USF faced Long Island University, upset winners in the semifinal round. LIU took Michigan State into overtime where they triumphed 6-5 on corner kicks. Led by an outstanding effort by Sandor Hites, the Dons scored a record five goals enroute to a 5-2 win over LIU and USF’s first NCAA title.

Hites accounted for three of the five Dons’ goals and was named the tournament’s outstanding offensive player, with four goals in USF’s two contests. It was the first of USF’s four NCAA crowns under Negoesco, as the Hilltoppers finished 11-0-1.

1975

1976

U

SF’s speed and finesse made the Dons the number one team in the country in 1975. They had to prove it against a strong final four-team field in Edwardsville, Illinois that included host SIUEdwardsville, Brown, and defending national champion Howard University.

The Dons had their hands full in the semifinal contest against a tenacious Brown University pulling out a 3-2 decision in triple overtime. Forward Greg McKeown set up the Dons’ gamewinner with a pinpoint pass to a surprised and open Mal Roche who scored from ten yards to send the Dons to the title contest.

USF was faced with the challenge of taking on the host team, SIU-Edwardsville for the championship. The Cougars were coming off a win over Howard University that propelled them into the fray.

The Dons were not intimidated as they walked off with the championship by a 4-0 count. USF started the scoring just 6:24 into the match, as lanky junior Greg McKeown headed home a Roche cross. Senior Paul Korn, an eventual draftee of the Tampa Bay Rowdies, also scored on a pass from Roche just fifteen minutes later. Victor Arbelaez, another senior, would close out the first half scoring to give the Dons a 3-0 halftime cushion.

Even Southern Illinois’ hometown fans had nothing but praise for the finesse game that USF displayed in the first half. USF did not let up in the second stanza, with sophomore sensation Andy Atuegbu scoring the half’s only goal on a pass from Kjell Tvedt. The Nigerian sensation was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

A

fter winning a national championship, the single most difficult task is living up to an established reputation, and more specifically, successfully defending that championship. That situation faced Coach Steve Negoesco and his Dons in 1976.

USF’s road to a second consecutive NCAA Division I Soccer Championship became a long and winding one that began one night in South San Francisco and ended in the subfreezing temperatures of Philadelphia’s Franklin Field.

The Dons arrived in Philadelphia as the underdog of the four teams. Due to their unblemished mark, Clemson topped all the rankings with Indiana a close second. Hartwick and USF rounded out the final four.

The Dons again employed their new defense to shut off the finesse of Clemson in the semifinals. Behind the second half goal of John Brooks, USF went on to a 1-0 win over the top-ranked Tigers.

The next day goalie Peter Arnautoff led the defense to still another shutout, the fifth straight for USF, as Dons successfully defended their championship with 1-0 victory over another undefeated squad, Indiana.

As was the case in the 1975 tournament, the most decisive player on the field was All-American Andy Atuegbu. With 35 minutes elapsed in the contest, he took the ball at midfield and dribbled up the left side, and unleashed one of his patented cannonball shots perfectly into the top right corner. The 20-yard blast brought USF the 1976 NCAA Division I Championship. Atuegbu was selected the tournament’s Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year.

Charles Gould of the St. Louis Globe Democrat summed it up best: “If the mighty Dons from the banks of San Francisco Bay are not the best college soccer team to win the NCAA Division I Soccer Championships, then they have to be rated right near the top.”

hen Fidelis Atuegbu blasted a shot just inside the right post to clinch the 1980 championship for USF it kept alive a family tradition. In 1976, it was another Atuegbu who made that magic happen when Andy brought Indiana down. The win marked the third time in five years USF had beaten the Hoosiers in championship play and gave USF its fourth title in eight years.

The Hilltoppers began their drive to the National Championship by capturing the Pacific Soccer Conference crown, which had spent a one year vacation at Santa Clara. The Dons claimed the league crown with stretch drive victories over San Jose (3-1), Santa Clara (3-0) and Fresno State (4-1). Entering post-season competition with a 19-0-2 record and the #1 ranking in the nation, the Dons met UCLA for the Far West Championship and won. The quarterfinals meant long time foe St. Louis. In 19 years, the Midwesterners had stopped Coach Negoesco six out of seven times; but not this year.....USF 3-St. Louis 2.

It was onto the Sunshine State and a meeting with Alabama A&M, ranked #2 and with basically the same team that demolished the Dons in 1979, 4-1. Despite a one-zip half time score, with the Green and Gold down, late goals by Luis Felipe Magalhaes and Bjorn Tronstad pulled out the win and it was on to the title game.

For pure excitement and an improbable turn of events, there has never been a game quite like the 1980 championship. Indiana played a high pressure defense in the first half and it worked.

The Dons were down 2-0 at the half, but this team had a habit of fighting back. But USF had a strong point..... endurance. The team thrived on pressure. It brought out performance. Steve Negoesco knew his players wouldn’t quit and fought to a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation.

Fidelis Atuegbu was fresh and Steve knew that he had the leg and bang .....at 98:17 the game was history. The title once again belonged to the boys from the City by the Bay.

His doctorate is in Catechetics and his particular expertise focuses on the Hispanic community in the Catholic Church.

Prior to his appointment at USF, Father Privett served as provost and academic vice president at Santa Clara University. As provost, he was responsible for oversight of student life, intercollegiate athletics, as well as academic affairs. While teaching at Santa Clara, he was recognized for Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership with the Sears Roebuck Foundation Award.

It is an extraordinary initiative that impacts the entire University. To date, the University has invested significantly in financial assistance for students, renovating academic facilities, technology upgrades and a staged renovation of the facilities in Memorial Gym. Regarding USF athletics, Fr. Privett has said, “High graduation rates, participation in community outreach and success in competition all come together in our USF student-athletes. I am gratified by the high standards achieved in all areas by our student-athletes and the contribution of our intercollegiate athletic program to the USF community.”

Father Privett strongly supports the commitment to provide all USF teams with the necessary resources to consistently compete for West Coast Conference titles. “I am pleased that our trustees unanimously endorsed our Mission and Goals Statement for USF Athletics,” he said.

USF ADMINISTRATION

Debra Gore-Mann ATHLETIC DIRECTOR (Fourth Year) EDUCATION: B.S., Industrial Engineering Stanford (1982) MBA - Stanford (1987)

Charlie Cross VICE PRESIDENT, BUSINESS & FINANCE (30th Year) EDUCATION: B.A., Economics University of San Francisco (1979) MBA - University of San Francisco, (1990) INTRODUCTION:

INTRODUCTION: Debra Gore-Mann begins her fourth year as the Executive Director of Athletics in 2009-10. In her third year as A.D., the University of San Francisco won the 2008-09 West Coast Conference Men’s All-Sports Award.

The honor marked the second time in school history that USF has won the award. The Dons also finished second in the annual Commissioner’s Cup, the highest finish in USF history.

“The 2008-09 year was an extraordinary year in so many ways for USF Athletics,” said Gore-Mann. “We had a strong year thanks to our fall sports teams performing well and the rest of our teams taking advantage of the momentum that started with men’s soccer and volleyball. Our spring sports teams then added to their accolades, propelling us into second overall in the WCC standings. It was truly a collective effort by coaches, staff and student-athletes that we achieved so much last year.

We hope to be able to capture the title outright in the near future”.

San Francisco won the Men’s All-Sports Award thanks to first place finishes by the Dons’ men’s golf and men’s soccer programs. The two league championships marked the first time since 2005-06 that the Dons earned two men’s championships in a year - also the only other time the Green and Gold captured the league’s Men’s All-Sports Award.

The 2008-09 year proved to be a successful one for the USF Athletic Department as seven of its athletic programs advanced to their respective NCAA Tournaments. By virtue of winning WCC titles, men’s soccer and men’s golf earned automatic bids to the postseason, while volleyball and women’s golf earned at-large bids to the postseason tournament after finishing second in league standings. Men’s and women’s track and field, cross country and women’s tennis each had individuals from their programs selected to compete in the national postseason.

During 2008-09, USF also claimed many of the West Coast Conference’s top honors, landing three Player of the Year accolades, three Coach of the Year honors and a Freshman of the Year nod. On the coaching side, men’s golf head coach Gary Nelson, men’s soccer head coach Erik Visser and women’s golf head coach Ria Quiazon were named the WCC Coach of the Year for their respective sports. USF also added 20 First Team AllWest Coast Conference honors to its list of 2008-09 accomplishments.

With the conclusion of the 2008-09 academic year, the West Coast Conference announced the eighth annual Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which recognizes those student-athletes that possess at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. USF placed 96 student-athletes on the 2008-09 list with 14 earning Gold Honors, 15 earning Silver Honors, and 67 earning Bronze Honors. Women’s soccer had a department high four student-athletes earn gold honors, highlighted by 2009 College of Arts and Sciences Valedictorian Anika Steig.

“In addition to USF’s athletics performances last year, we are equally proud of our student-athletes and their academic excellence,” said GoreMann. “This season we saw a renewed commitment to academics from several teams which was reflected in the overall increases in team GPAs and APR scores. In addition, we are most proud of our graduated senior and goalkeeper, Anika Steig, who was selected as class Valedictorian. The Politics major and Peace and Conflicts minor’s accomplishments in the

Anika was our second class valedictorian after Tavo Hall (BB) who was selected in 2007. Our alumni, staff and administration can take pride in USF Athletics commitment to developing both students and athletes who represent our institution with distinction and honor.”

Gore-Mann was named Athletics Director at the University of San Francisco July 21, 2006, and is the first female Director of Athletics at USF and just the third overall in West Coast Conference history. At USF, Gore-Mann serves as the Executive Director of the university’s athletic program, which features seven women’s and seven men’s sports teams, including basketball, golf, tennis, track/field and cross country; soccer, volleyball, and baseball. USF’s athletic staff includes more than 30 full and part-time coaches and administrative and support personnel who provide services to about 240 student-athletes.

At Stanford, Gore-Mann served as Senior Associate Athletic Director for Finance and Operations from 1999-2005 and most recently served as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Relations and Senior Women’s Administrator. She shared financial responsibility for the more than $50 million annual Stanford Athletic Department budget and shared management of 34 sports. Gore-Mann served as Senior Project Manager on the recent Stanford Stadium renovations and served as the lead negotiator on the Cardinal all-school apparel contract with Nike, Inc..

Since 2003...

• 132 USF student-athletes have earned West Coast Conference All-Academic Team selections

As a tribute to his many years of contributions to both soccer and the University of San Francisco, a group of soccer alumni have established the Augustine P. Donoghue Living Scholarship Fund.

This fund will provide scholarship aid for USF soccer student-athletes exclusively in future years. The Living Scholarship was started by former head coach Stephen Negoesco and former Director of Athletics Bill Fusco. A graduate of USF in 1936, Donoghue served as soccer coach on the Hilltop for twenty years, winning 11 championships, and never experienced a losing season. The USF soccer program annually awards the “Gus Donoghue Award” to the team’s outstanding student-athlete.

All contributions to the Augustine P. Donoghue Living Scholarship Fund should be directed to the Director of Athletics, University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton St., San Francisco, CA 94117-1080.

THE FLYNN-PARINA ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

The Flynn-Parina Endowed Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial aid for USF student-athletes.

The primary contributor to the scholarship fund was the late Richard Parina ‘31, who established the fund in memory of Father Hubert Flynn, S.J. , the former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at USF and confidant to generations of Dons studentathletes.

Mr. Parina was inducted into the USF Athletic Hall of Fame in both football and the special category. Through his generous contributions to this Scholarship Fund, scholarships are available to both male and female student-athletes.

All teams hold weekly study hall sessions in the center as well.

NEGOESCO FIELD: The home field of USF’s Legendary Soccer field underwent aesthetic upgrades before the 2008 season. One of the most notable improvements at Negoesco Stadium was the installation of banners celebrating the rich legacy and tradition of USF Soccer. Six national championship banners will hang alongside banners celebrating the Dons glorious postseason past.

Other changes included the installation of European football-style advertising panels to acknowledge sponsors and supporters of USF Athletics and the Dons Soccer program. Additionally, protective team shells were installed in the team bench areas.

BENEDETTI DIAMOND: In the wake of record seaosons, the USF Baseball Program has seen a number of upgrades in their facilities as well.

NEGOESCO STADIUM

THE STORY OF NEGOESCO STADIUM One of the finest collegiate soccer venues in the country, Negoesco Stadium Memorial Gym is unmatched in its beautiful setting in the shadow of St. Ignatius Church. Dedicated to and orchestrated by USF Men’s Soccer legend Stephen Negoesco, the stadium formally opened on September 17, 1982, when a sellout crowd saw USF topple Indiana, 3-2, in overtime. The building of the stadium was truly a team effort with school officials, alumni, former players and friends all lending a hand.

A series of renovations and improvements over the past couple of years, have transformed the stadium into one of the premier venues on the West Coast. The most significant change occurred prior to the 2003 season with the installation of FieldTurf, the best artificial grass surface available. FieldTurf is the highest rated

artificial turf, used throughout the world as a surface that plays virtually the same as grass. With the addition of FieldTurf, the USF men’s and women’s soccer programs boast one of the finest playing surfaces on the West Coast. Negoesco Stadium added television lights for the 2000 season and increased the stadium’s capacity to 3,000.

The facility has been used for matches involving Major League Soccer teams, most recently when the San Jose Earthquakes hosted the Los Angeles Galaxy. During the summer of 2002, the San Jose Earthquakes hosted the Shanghai Shenhua (Pumas) for an international exhibition contest. The field has also served as a site for World Cup training.

SPORTS MEDICINE CENTER

After an extensive makeover during the summer of 2006, the USF Athletic Training Room boasts one of the top facilities in the West Coast Conference. The Dons staff of four certified athletic trainers have state of the art rehabilitation and therapy equipment to treat and prevent sports related injuries.
