DICK DLESK SOCCER STADIUM COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON

A record crowd of 2,938 fans attended WVU’s opening night match against UC-Santa Barbara in 2009.

2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Completed in early August 2004, Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium (formerly the Mountaineer Soccer Complex), the home of men’s and women’s soccer at West Virginia University, is one of the nation’s finest. The stadium itself, named in honor of a generous gift on behalf of Mr. Dlesk, is a two-level, 1,650-seat stadium that features grandstand bleachers, a five-booth press box, an on-site locker room, restrooms and concession booths. The women’s team played the first-ever game in Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium on Sept. 1, 2004, with redshirt freshman Natalie Cocchi scoring the facility’s first goal to lift the Mountaineers to a 1-0 win over Purdue. The stadium was dedicated on Sunday, Sept. 5, 2004, prior to the women’s match against Virginia and the men’s match versus High Point. In May 2010, the stadium’s sod was removed, and after the surface was laser-leveled to ensure better irrigation and production performance, natural grass was laid down, giving the field an iridescent, brand new look. An extensive drainage and irrigation system is also in place to prevent inclement weather from harming the playing surface. Likewise, the Mountaineers have a new practice facility, used for the first time in the spring of 2004, located adjacent to Hawley Field. The practice field features the same custom surface as the game field and has lights that can illuminate to near game-field conditions. Conveniently located beside the Coliseum, Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium first opened as the Mountaineer Soccer Complex in 1997. Since its inception, the facility has seen many great achievements by the men’s and women’s soccer teams.

Last season, the Mountaineers tallied three home victories, including a 1-0 win over No. 3-ranked USF – the second highest ranked opponent WVU has defeated at Dick Dlesk. In terms of attendance, fans continue to attend in droves. For the first time in program history, the team placed as high as 25th nationally for average home attendance, averaging 1,021 fans per match. In 2008, the Mountaineers posted three home victories, including a 1-0 win against No. 22 Ohio State on Oct. 15. WVU recorded seven shutouts and broke the single-season home attendance record on Oct. 21. A total of 10,957 fans passed through the gates in 11 contests, including six crowds of 1,000 or more fans. The total home attendance ranked 19th best in the nation, while the average home attendance was 26th-best nationally. The 2007 team posted a 7-2 mark at home, while knocking off topranked Connecticut, 1-0, on Oct. 19, in front of a capacity crowd. The Mountaineers also hosted NCAA action and defeated Virginia, 1-0, at Dick Dlesk. The 2006 season was the most memorable for the men’s team. The squad won 10 home games and knocked off No. 6 Notre Dame en route to winning the BIG EAST regular-season championship. West Virginia was awarded a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament and hosted UNCGreensboro in a second round game at DDSS. The men’s team opened the complex by posting winning seasons two out of the complex’s first three years. During WVU’s first full season at DDSS in 2004, the squad posted a solid 8-1-1 record at home, including a win over No. 8 Notre Dame. In 2005, the men played host to the first round of “Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium is one of the premier stadiums in the country. the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1973, It’s 120 x 80 yards in size and is one of the biggest in the NCAA. There are defeating Robert Morris 1-0 to advance to the second permanent stands, a locker room and concession area: everything you round. want in a college soccer stadium.” To date, the men’s team is 40-13-10 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. - Head Coach Marlon LeBlanc, 2006 Soccer America

West Virginia men’s soccer has drawn standing room only crowds at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium under coach Marlon LeBlanc, making it one of the most intimidating environments in all of college soccer. The stands at Dick Dlesk are buzzing with a boisterous student section that sits just feet away from the playing field. Fans throughout the state and from the Mountaineer Maniacs come out to cheer on the Old Gold and Blue. Mountaineer fans know to come early, they like to be heard and they stay until the final horn blows. It’s the kind of noise that turns a home field into a home-field advantage and makes it difficult for visiting teams to come away with a result.

Opened in August 1998, the Caperton Indoor Facility provides a big plus for all of West Virginia’s student-athletes. It eases minds when it comes to bad weather. There were times through the years when practice had to be halted because of bad weather, but that’s not the case anymore. The indoor building takes care of all those worries, and gives WVU an added dimension with its game preparation. Located adjacent to the Puskar Center and Milan Puskar Stadium, the Caperton Indoor Facility is equipped with a 90-yard Field Turf playing surface with seven yards of safety zone surrounding the entire field. Total length of the facility from wall to wall is 105 yards, and the

Mountaineers’ sparkling indoor facility exceeds 75,000 square feet of practice room. The Caperton Indoor Facility is versatile in its uses. Not only does it serve as a practice facility for men’s and women’s soccer, but it is also used by football and baseball during the winter months or when inclement weather arises. Safety netting surrounding the entire playing surface allows for four separate batting cages and the ability to divide the playing surface in half. Locker rooms for male and female athletes are in the facility, along with a fully equipped training room, restrooms, 4,500 square feet of storage and a facilities office. Skylights provide natural lighting in the building, and it is equipped with camera platforms for filming. The back of the indoor facility provides easy access to WVU’s 170-yard grass practice field. Named in honor of former governor Gaston Caperton, the facility gives West Virginia’s student-athletes a safe and secure practice center away from the inclement weather. The Caperton Indoor Facility gives West Virginia University yet another component in one of the finest and most complete men’s soccer programs in the nation.

participants the fundamentals of soccer, such as dribbling, passing and shooting. The team also has set up fields at Laurel Point for the local youth soccer program. The Mountaineers got their hands dirty, doing everything from picking up trash to moving benches and goals and ensuring the fields are in excellent condition. Arguably one of coach LeBlanc’s biggest contributions to West Virginia is the OneWVU diversity program. The message of the program is simply that regardless of beliefs, background or skin color, ‘we are all oneWVU,’ with the object of bringing everyone together to create a more tight-knit community. While the team continues to practice, compete and score on the field, the Mountaineers have already found the back of the net – with the community.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

The West Virginia University men’s soccer team recognizes that it’s important to win on the field, but the squad also realizes that it’s equally as important to win over the community by giving back in every possible aspect. Not only have the Mountaineers helped Morgantown become a better place through various humanitarian efforts, but the team makes the extra stride to travel outside of the immediate area to lend a hand. “Our program takes great pride in being part of the Mountaineer community,” coach Marlon LeBlanc says. “It’s our privilege to give back to a community that really supports and gets behind WVU athletics.” The Mountaineers understand the importance of academics and are actively involved in the ‘Read Aloud’ program. During their visits to schools, team members read to several students in classrooms of all different age levels, while encouraging the students in the higher grades to apply themselves to their studies. When the team is not influencing the young, bright minds in the classroom, they can be found visiting children at the MountainView Rehabilitation Hospital in Morgantown, specifically those in the Children’s Rehabilitation Physical Therapy Unit. Understanding how great of a factor motivation is, the Mountaineers talk with the patients to encourage them to fighting through their illness or injury. In late April 2010, many of the student-athletes attended the second annual Cranium Crawl 5K Walk & Run, an event to help raise money for The Brain Injury Association of West Virginia. In addition to taking pictures with patients at HealthSouth MountainView Rehab Hospital, the studentathletes signed schedule posters and media guides for everyone in attendance. Other community-oriented events the team takes place in occur in the realm they excel in – on the field. With great detail to plan, the team organized ran a free clinic for Special Olympic athletes, with a focus on soccer in Fairmont and Morgantown. The players and coaches taught the

Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-inhand at West Virginia University. WVU’s strength and conditioning staff ensures all student-athletes are on year-long programs designed to improve the fitness capabilities needed in their sports. To keep athletes in peak physical condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and an array of strength programs designed to increase performance. All student-athletes will have their own program individually calculated and updated throughout the year to ensure that every athlete raises their athletic ability and skill level. Equipped with excellent amenities and staffed by some of the finest strength coaches in the nation, athletes who come to West Virginia know that they are in good hands when it comes to their athletic capacity.

SOCCER’S PRIMARY TRAINING CONCENTRATIONS The main training area focuses for the men’s soccer team are anaerobic and aerobic conditioning, total body power and explosiveness, agility and quickness, speed, core strength, neural recruitment, balance and proprioception. WEIGHT LIFTING The lifting portion of the soccer routine is used to improve overall strength, power and explosion. This is accomplished through cycled periodization of Olympic lifts, conventional weight lifting techniques, plyometrics, core, injury prevention exercises, agility and speed work. Bands and chains also are incorporated into weight lifting sessions. To guarantee the body continues to function at its peak, athletes are advised on proper nutrition. PROPER NUTRITION Each athlete is educated on correct dietary habits and essential vitamins and minerals necessary to perform at an elite level. Athletes have the opportunity to meet with nutritionists, go on guided grocery store tours and receive diet plans designed specifically for them. BEING FLEXIBLE An increase in stride length, frequency and range of motion in joint to tendon relationships is directly correlated to speed, agility and injury prevention. Therefore, it is important to make flexibility an area of emphasis. Good flexibility helps to improve speed, agility and reduces the risk of injury. Each workout is preceded with a dynamic flexibility routine with regular stretching and followed by a post-flexibility routine at the end of every workout.

CONDITIONING Rigorous conditioning designed to elicit physiological changes in the body’s bioenergetics systems occurs three to four days a week, with an emphasis on soccer-specific anaerobic and aerobic conditioning.

COACHING STAFF

WVU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PHILOSOPHY The WVU strength and conditioning staff is dedicated to developing the athlete and more specifically the person. Their primary goals are to improve athletic performance, injury prevention, promote self image and confidence and develop mental toughness. The training cycles transcend all aspects of physiological development. Athletes are trained in areas of speed, agility, quickness, explosive training, Olympic weight lifting, conventional weight lifting, band training, injury prevention movements, plyometrics, core, balance, functional training, bioenergetics related to individual sport, nutrition, flexibility, medicine ball training, proprioception, balance ball training and various other practices. Through the use of those tactics, speed, agility, strength, power, force, acceleration, deceleration, mobility, top speed, explosiveness, reaction, conditioning, balance, core stability, confidence, mental toughness, good nutrition habits, kinesthetic awareness and proprioception are focused upon. All of theses dimensions of training are adapted and phased regularly for the individual athlete’s needs and the demands of his specific sport. This is accomplished through the use of periodization. It is the belief of the strength staff that providing an allencompassing, sport specific, individualized program will enable athletes to reach their physiological potential. With positive reinforcement and a structured, disciplined atmosphere, athletes will elicit confidence and mental strength to ensure success in all of life’s endeavors.

THE WEIGHT ROOMS Accomplishing those conditioning requirements occurs in several campus weight rooms. Housing almost 15 tons of total weight, the Mountaineer weight room is located in the Puskar Center at Milan Puskar Stadium. The 22,000-square foot weight room features a three-lane track for conditioning and 40 times, one of only two collegiate weight rooms to have such a track. Seven power platforms and 40 pieces of Hammer Strength weight equipment make the facility the envy of all opponents. Weight rooms are also located in the WVU Coliseum and Shell Building facilities. These weight rooms are located directly beside the soccer playing and practice fields, allowing for workouts to be scheduled as needed around practices throughout the year. These weight rooms also are located near the outdoor and indoor tracks, providing year-round surfaces for soccer conditioning.

2010 SEASON

CORE TRAINING For men’s soccer players, the abdominal and low back regions are the units that tie the upper and lower extremities’ power together. In order to have excellent maneuverability and transfer of power, an athlete must have superior balance and strength in this core region. Training of the core region occurs three times per week using balance balls, medicine balls and other soccer specific drills. The athletes train hard and fast to benefit their physical preparedness for their competition and sport.

STARTING BEHIND, PULLING AHEAD The BIG EAST Conference began sponsoring men’s soccer in 1982 and began regular-season league competition three years later – much later than the formation of many other leagues. Through nearly 30 years, the league has two national champions by two different teams, six College Cup qualifiers, 16 quarterfinal-round appearances, several Top 20 programs and a staggering record of NCAA appearances by multiple teams, especially given the NCAA field size of 48. The BIG EAST also boasts several well-respected head coaches with extensive accolades and experience. GETTING IT DONE IN THE POSTSEASON Since 2000, the BIG EAST has sent at least five teams each season to the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship, accounting for nearly 1/8 of the 48-team field. Three of the last five years, the league has seen a record seven teams advance to NCAA postseason play. Eleven of the last 12 years, the BIG EAST has witnessed at least one team advance to the NCAA “Sweet 16,” a team reach the quarterfinals in nine of the last 12 years, and in 2002, populated the top-eight

seeds with three selections when the NCAA bracket was announced. Since the conference’s last national champion in 2000, teams in the BIG EAST have amassed 60 tournament wins and have a total of 82 all-time victories in the postseason. IN THE SPOTLIGHT As the BIG EAST continued to flourish, it became the largest NCAA Division I Conference in 2005-06 with its 16 total members. On top of that, the conference boasts more than 300,000 students in major television markets, representing more than 30 million households and better than 26 percent of the television population. The addition of five institutions in 2005 brought added television coverage to the BIG EAST. In 2009, a total of 13 games were televised; one contest was broadcast nationally as part of the NSCAA/Fox Soccer Channel College Game of the Week, three were on CBS College Sports, two matches

BIG EAST AND RED BULL NEW YORK ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP The BIG EAST and Red Bull New York will join forces with a three-year partnership for the Conference’s men’s soccer championship to be held at the new state-of-the-art Red Bull Arena through the 2012 tournament. The soccer-specific facility in Harrison, N.J., is the new home of the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer (MLS). The BIG EAST will hold its semifinal and championship games at the venue, along with team practices before each day of competition, beginning in 2010. The dates of the championships over the next three years are: 2010 - Nov. 12 & 14; 2011 - Nov. 11 & 13 and 2012 - Nov. 9 & 10. “The BIG EAST is thrilled to announce the partnership with Red Bull New York and their new world-class facility,” said Jim Siedliski, BIG EAST Associate Commissioner for Olympic Sports. “We feel Red Bull Arena is the ideal location to hold our men’s soccer championship, and will allow our student-athletes to play in a professional atmosphere and in a major metropolitan market that embraces the sport of soccer.” “The Red Bulls organization is excited to bring the BIG EAST Men’s Soccer Championship to Red Bull Arena,” said Erik Stover, Red Bull New York Managing Director. “One of our goals is to help elevate the sport of soccer in the United States and our partnership with the BIG EAST Conference is an important step in that process.”

TAKING THE NEXT STEP With the caliber of the BIG EAST soccer players continuing to amaze those surrounding the sport, it has caught the eye of Major League Soccer. Through the 14-year existence of the professional league, a total of 102 BIG EAST players have been drafted. In the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, nine players from BIG EAST schools were taken, including two first-round selections.

WORKING WITH THE FINEST COACHES To be the best, it helps to learn from the best. Since the turn of the millennium, the BIG EAST boasts nine NSCAA/adidas Regional Coach of the Year award winners. Dating back to 2000, the league also has claimed three Soccer America Coach of the Year awards, one of them being West Virginia’s Marlon LeBlanc, who earned the honor in 2006, his first year as coach of the Mountaineers. FIRST-RATE OFFICIALS In September of 1997, long before many conferences began the practice of staffing officials for Olympic Sports, the BIG EAST broke new ground by hiring a full-time officials’ assignor. Under the supervision of Roger Taylor, the league has lifted the program to new heights and into one of college soccer’s finest officiating staffs with a newly implemented assessment program.

PRODUCING THE BEST As the competition in the BIG EAST continues to escalate, players from each of the 16 schools have stepped up their game. The Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy, considered the soccer’s Heisman Trophy, is awarded to the top male and female NCAA Division I athletes.

RANKED AMONG THE BEST The success by schools in the BIG EAST in 2009 was enjoyed throughout the league and was noticed throughout the nation. In the final NCAA Division I Soccer RPI rankings, six BIG EAST schools ranked in the Top 50, with six different teams in the Top 100. Other conferences that had numerous teams in the Top 50/Top 100 of the RPI were: ACC (7/1); Big Ten (6/1); CAA (2/5), Ivy League (4/3) and Pac-10 (5/1).

FLOODING THE GATES What’s better than watching some of the best college soccer in the nation? Obviously not much, as fans from BIG EAST schools have packed the stands to watch their teams compete. In 2009, eight BIG EAST schools, including West Virginia, ranked in the Top 30 nationally in average home attendance. The total was the most among all conferences, even more than the ACC, which only boasts six schools in the Top 30. Of the eight BIG EAST schools, each team averaged 10 home contests and nearly 1,409 people in the stands.

In the last 11 years, four BIG EAST men’s soccer players have captured the award, including back-to-back winners in 2006 and 2007. Also, 86 BIG EAST men’s soccer players have been named NSCAA All-Americans, and a league-best seven were named following the 2006 season; 27 of the 86 were named first-team honorees. The BIG EAST also takes great pride in off-the-field accomplishments. In 2009, two student-athletes were tabbed as Academic All-Americans, 13 garnered NSCAA Scholar all-Region honors and numerous were selected to the BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team, which is part of the league’s annual academic awards program.

field, where they delivered passes, or even which players they passed to throughout the span of a match. From there, the coaches can have a meeting with an individual or an entire unit, such as the midfield, and actually show them video segments from the game. Once the clips are cut and stored, any member of the coaching staff can recall the clips without having to sort through all of the game footage. While this might seem like a minor inconvenience, having this ability saves time and allows players to focus on their individual or group’s development. “The information we’re giving them is more specific, and the amount of time that they have to actually look at that information is a lot shorter,” LeBlanc adds. “The fact that we’re able to give them that information in bits and pieces helps them digest more and be able to put that into practice a lot more readily.” When the tape is broken down for each athlete, players can take a CD home with them to watch their performance. To show how much time the coaching staff puts in, LeBlanc says that coding a game takes around 10-12 hours for a 90-minute contest. Fortunately for his eyes, LeBlanc is not the only one spending time on tape. With the program’s latest addition, the video scouting software, the staff has ensured that it is doing everything in its power to push WVU to the top of Division I soccer.

Leading up to a match, many people know how difficult life can be for a student-athlete. Not only are they asked to attend class and fulfill their educational duties, but athletes also must practice, hit the weight room, and even more so, study film. What many people fail to take into account is the amount of work and time the coaching staff must put in in order to prepare a team for its upcoming contest. Fortunately, the West Virginia University men’s soccer team can benefit from not only some of best facilities and coaching staff’s in the nation, but also arguably one of the best scouting software programs in the world. Staring in 2009, the WVU coaching staff elected to use Prozone software – a program used by only seven other collegiate programs in the nation and premier clubs around the globe, such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid, the English National Team, U.S. Soccer and multiple teams in Major League Soccer – just to name a few clubs. Based upon its impressive client list, it’s easy to tell that this program is only used by the elite. What separates the program from others on the market is that it is tailored to one sport only. “This program is specific to soccer. It’s not a version of another piece of software that’s been made to fit soccer,” coach Marlon LeBlanc says. “The fact that the best clubs in the world use this software – I think it’s a pretty good barometer for how beneficial it is to the players, teams and managers. It’s huge for team development, player development, and it’s more specific to the needs and requirements of a modern soccer coach.” The software has numerous capabilities. Before even reaching the video portion for scouting purposes, a coach can pull up statistical information through MatchViewer on the entire team, or even an individual player. An extremely detail-oriented program, an athlete can see how many passes they had in a game, the length of a pass to a teammate, or A view of Prozone software on a flat-screen TV in the men’s soccer office. from where on the field they took shots.

“The Coliseum Academic Performance Center is a significant development for an academically oriented institution such as West Virginia to recognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s success both as an athletic competitor on the field of play and in the classroom.”

RECORD BOOK

The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to the promotion of the academic achievement of student-athletes as well as their athletic accomplishment and their personal and career development. In support of this position, West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include having 11 student-athletes being named first team Academic All-Americans in seven of the last nine years and nearly 800 different student-athletes earning a 3.0 GPA during the 2008 and 2009 academic years. To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Coliseum Academic Performance Center.

The WVU student services staff, headed by Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Garrett Ford and his assistants Sandy Cole-DeMent, Erica Wycherley, Paul Downey, Mark Hanselman and Donnie Tucker, makes sure that every student-athlete has the best possible opportunity to obtain a college degree. This process begins as soon as a recruit signs a letter-of-intent to play for the Mountaineers. “We know everything about incoming freshmen academically before they arrive in the fall,” said Ford. “We know which students are ahead of others and which will require more assistance.” Besides keeping in touch with freshmen, incoming student-athletes are encouraged to attend orientation sessions offered for all West Virginia University students during the summer prior to their arrival on campus. This is where new students can learn more about the Morgantown campus and, most importantly, register for classes. During the second week of classes, freshmen are enrolled in mandatory study halls, monitored by Ford and his staff. Those who do well during the first semester are given the option of attending study hall, but if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they must return to the mandatory sessions.

During the semester, department officials keep a careful record of each student-athlete’s academic progress. Class and study hall attendance are checked regularly, periodic grade reports are obtained from instructors, and parents, coaches and players are kept up-to-date on their academic progress. During priority registration, all student-athletes, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, get advice in scheduling the courses to keep them on track in their degree programs. These measures are succeeding in a noticeable way. Last year, 379 student-athletes earned a place on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll with at least a 3.0 grade-point average. TUTORING SERVICE FACTS Over 75 tutors provide student-athletes with assistance in their classes. Upperclassmen, graduate students and community members serve as tutors in their area of specialty. Tutoring services are provided for all student-athletes regardless of scholarship status.

ð ð ð

MENTORING SERVICE FACTS Experienced educators from the local community serve as mentors for student-athletes who need additional guidance with adjusting to the academic rigors of the college environment. Mentors help incoming student-athletes improve accountability through time management, study skills and organizational skills related to their classes. In another program, former Mountaineer athletes are returning to school to complete work on their degrees, some after as many as 10 years away from Morgantown. But for those who don’t graduate with their class, there’s still hope. A continuing-eligibility program was created in 1989 to give those student-athletes who are close to graduating an opportunity to come back to school to complete their degrees. Since its creation, dozens of students have participated, with a success rate of better than 80 percent. More than 25 student-athletes from all sports participated in the post-eligibility program last year.

ITS PURPOSE The purpose of West Virginia University SAAC is: 1. To generate a student-athlete voice within WVU, the Big East, and NCAA structure. 2. Solicit student-athlete response to proposed WVU, Big East, and NCAA legislation. 3. Recommend potential WVU, Big East, and NCAA legislation. 4. Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest. 5. Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA. 6. Promote a positive student-athlete image.

APR The West Virginia University men’s basketball team, women’s cross country team and women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2010 by the NCAA for their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads their respective sports. Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each studentathlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.

RECORD BOOK

GRADUATION RATES West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 2002-03.

WHAT IS SAAC? The West Virginia University Student Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

NCAA CERTIFICATION West Virginia University received unconditional recertification in April 2010 from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, recognizing that the University’s athletic program is in “substantial conformity with operating principles” adopted by Division I schools. The purpose of athletics certification is to ensure integrity in the institution’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments, the NCAA said. WVU was one of the first schools to volunteer for the NCAA’s pilot certification program in 1991, and was one of five schools originally certified. WVU’s program was recertified by the NCAA in 1996 and then again in 2001. The most recent round of recertification began in 2008 with a selfstudy of governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, as well as gender and diversity and student-athlete wellbeing. The Division I Committee on Athletics Certification preliminarily reviews an institution’s certification materials and provides a list of issues identified during the evaluation. The university then hosts a visit by peer reviewers who file a report regarding the institution’s resolution of those issues before a final certification decision is rendered. An institution’s failure to satisfactorily respond to the committee may negatively affect certification status. All 335 active Division I members participate in the certification process.

STUDENT ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to improve WVU athletic programs. They disseminate information important to student-athletes to share with their teams. Two representatives from each varsity team at West Virginia University are either elected by their teammates or selected by the members of their coaching staff. Under the guidance of SAAC advisor Terri Howes, the SAAC meets regularly to discuss current issues and concerns of WVU’s student-athletes. SAAC leaders attend BIG EAST Conference SAAC meetings to exchange ideas with other studentathletes from BIG EAST schools regarding student-athlete’s collegiate experience.

2009 REVIEW

In 1992, under the direction of associate Ford, WVU joined the growing list of schools that are a part of an NCAA-sponsored consortium. Similar to the post-eligibility program in providing former student-athletes a chance to continue work toward their degrees, the closely screened consortium requires participants to be more involved in community-related activities. The consortium students are often much older athletes, who left the University to pursue professional sports or business careers, but now wish to return to complete their degrees.

The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence and 5) community service.

COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to support the development of a wellbalanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging and supporting emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills. CHAMPS/Life Skills services provided within this component include personal counseling, health presentations, improving communication skills, and presentations on social development and fiscal responsibility.

• 2006 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year In just four seasons, coach Marlon LeBlanc, the 2006 Soccer America and FieldTurf-Tarket National Coach of the Year, has built the West Virginia University men’s soccer program into a national contender, guiding the Mountaineers to the NCAA Tournament in his first two seasons with first-round byes, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2007 and winning the BIG EAST regular-season championship in 2006. The proof of LeBlanc’s success is in the numbers. The Mountaineers have compiled a 41-23-16 (.613) record the past four seasons, including an impressive 25-10-8 (.674) BIG EAST mark. WVU is 23-108 at home during that span. WVU had been ranked in the nation’s Top 25 since the first week of the 2006 season until the start of the 2008 campaign. In the last four seasons against the nation’s Top 25, West Virginia boasts 12 victories. In terms of player development, three student-athletes earned All-America honors: Jarrod Smith (2006), Nick Noble (2006) and Andy Wright (2007). Nine players have been named all-BIG EAST (Noble, Smith, Wright, Dan Stratford, Andrew Halsell, Gift Maworere, Zach Johnson, Eric Schoenle and Abel “Shadow” Sebele), with three earning major conference awards. Seven players are now playing professionally: Noble (Ljungskile Sportklubb), Jyler Noviello (Real Maryland), Stratford (Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC) and Wright (Scunthorpe United FC). Four players have been invited to the MLS combine during LeBlanc’s tenure. With the team’s success, LeBlanc has

been able to bring the spotlight to the men’s soccer program since arriving in Morgantown. Under his watch, the number of televised matches has continuously flourished. The Mountaineers had the most televised games in program history in 2008, appearing five times on the tube; WVU’s win at Connecticut was televised live on Fox Soccer Channel. The 2007 Mountaineers were on television four times, while the 2006 squad had two contests televised. Currently, WVU is 7-4-1 when the cameras surround the pitch under LeBlanc. Accolades have not been limited to the field, either. For the secondstraight season, WVU earned a NSCAA Team Academic Award for attaining a 3.36 team GPA, surpassing the required 3.0 minimum. The Mountaineers won the award for the first time in program history in 2008. Individually, Jason Bristol garnered 2008 NSCAA/adidas Scholar all-East Region honorable mention accolades for earning at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average. In 2007-08, Carroll garnered ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America third-team honors, and the squad boasted a 3.17 team GPA. Collectively, the team has achieved above a 3.0 GPA each semester since the fall of 2007. Last season, despite having as many as six freshmen starters and injuries to key players toward the end of the season, the Mountaineers compiled a respectable 7-5-6 overall mark, with a 6-3-2 league record. The back line gave all opponents fits, as the Mountaineer defense held squads to less than 10 shots per game and registered a 0.61 GAA – the eighth-best mark nationally. The defense came into play against offensive-minded and No. 3-ranked USF, but the Mountaineers pulled out a 1-0 victory, the second highest ranked opponent WVU has defeated at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Over the course of the season, it was apparent the Mountaineers as a whole continued to improve. When the 2009 season wrapped up, the awards rolled in. A goalkeeper, Johnson was named to the all-BIG EAST second team, while Maworere garnered third-team accolades, and freshmen Schoenle and Sebele were named to the league’s all-rookie team. By season’s end, Schoenle was selected to three more teams – two freshman teams (TopDrawerSoccer all-Rookie first team and CollegeSoccerNews all-Freshman second team) and the NSCAA allNortheast Region third team. Gaddis garnered first team all-region, and Johnson accompanied Schoenle on the all-region third team.

In 2008, LeBlanc guided an up-and-coming WVU squad, which consisted of 16 newcomers, to a 5-9-5 overall mark. The season, however, could not be told purely on paper. The Mountaineers recorded upset victories at No. 4-ranked Connecticut (1-0) and at home over No. 22-ranked Ohio State (1-0). WVU also became known as one of the stingiest defensive units in the nation, allowing only 13 goals on the season – a mark tied for best in the BIG EAST. The Mountaineers also held opponents scoreless for 554:41, a span of nearly six games. The squad boasted a 0.64 goals-against average, which was good enough for fifth nationally. At the conclusion of the season, Johnson was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year and selected to the all-BIG EAST first team. Maworere was named league honorable mention for the secondstraight year. In 2007, WVU was ranked for the length of the season, posted a 14-6-2 record and reached the Sweet 16 for the second time in school history as the NCAA Tournament’s No. 15 seed. WVU pulled off three wins against the nation’s top 10: at No. 6 Maryland (1-0), at No. 5 Duke (1-0), and at home against No. 1 Connecticut (1-0), in front of 1,773 fans at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The win over the Huskies marked the highest-ranked team WVU had defeated in school history. The Mountaineers also set numerous school records in 2007: 14 shutouts, allowed just 11 goals, posted six-consecutive shutouts and Stratford set the career assist mark at 27. LeBlanc took over at West Virginia on the opening day of preseason camp in 2006 and helped the program reach new heights immediately. The Mountaineers posted a 15-3-3 record in 2006, going 9-0-1 in BIG EAST play, marking the first time a team in the conference had gone undefeated playing at least a 10-game schedule. The 15 wins in 2006 were also the most in school history. For his efforts, LeBlanc and his assistants were named the 2006 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year and LeBlanc was named the NSCAA/ adidas Northeast Regional Coach of the Year. Under his tutelage, WVU spent eight weeks ranked in the top 10 in 2006 and five in the top five, ranking as high as No. 3.

MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

When Marlon LeBlanc arrived at WVU in August 2006 as WVU’s men’s soccer coach — and the University’s first African American head coach — the New Jersey native and former Penn State assistant coach admits to bringing some biases with him. During a trip to WVU’s Human Resources department to fill out his employee paperwork, he noticed that a man in the waiting area was staring at him. That stare brought his concerns and preconceived notions bubbling to the surface. “I was thinking, ‘Here we go,’” LeBlanc admitted. Then, the staring man smiled, welcomed him to WVU and wished him luck in his new role. “It was a defining moment,” LeBlanc said. “Any hesitation I felt about coming to Morgantown evaporated. I realized that this is a community that embraces people, and since then I’ve felt very welcome.” LeBlanc, with his newfound love for West Virginia and WVU, went on to lead the Mountaineers to their first undefeated season in the BIG EAST, and to earn the Soccer America National Coach of the Year award. But despite his team’s success and WVU’s welcoming environment, he learned that his players weren’t immune from the biases of others. One of his soccer players, a black student-athlete, told him that two men in a passing car had called him a derogatory name — a racial slur. The incident troubled LeBlanc, but it also suggested a plan. LeBlanc decided that the WVU community’s love for its sports teams could be a powerful force for breaking down prejudices. “The thought process was those guys were probably fans of WVU football or basketball or baseball or soccer,” said LeBlanc. “They’re probably the same people who are out in the stands cheering every time there’s a touchdown, or a goal scored. So I wanted to use athletics as our vehicle to make a difference.” He looked for a common denominator, a way to take WVU’s strong sense of community and weave it into the fabric of inclusion and tolerance. LeBlanc realized that “The common thread is that we are one WVU,” said LeBlanc. “Gold and blue, those are the colors that define us.” Stand Up Speak Up, a European anti-racism campaign

sponsored by Nike and featuring several prominent soccer players, helped to inspire LeBlanc. The multinational campaign inspired people around the world to unite around the power and promise of athletics. LeBlanc wanted to transfer that message to WVU. He met with Jennifer McIntosh, WVU executive officer for social justice, and Mike Parsons, deputy director of athletics, to discuss the idea, and then worked with Mountaineer Sports Network and University Advancement and Marketing to produce a 30-second public service announcement to air on the scoreboard during Mountaineer sporting events. Called oneWVU, the video featured WVU students from various backgrounds proclaiming their Mountaineer unity. The University has also raised awareness of the campaign in several ways, including airing the video on state television stations, placing ads in newspapers and magazines, producing a Web site feature and sending post cards across the country. Future plans for oneWVU include integrating it into the curriculum for University 101 orientation courses and incorporating it into New Student Orientation, student mentoring programs, residence hall programming and faculty and staff training. Collaborations are being planned with the School of Physical Education, Center for Black Culture, WVU Extension Service and the Office of Student Affairs.

FINDING A HOME AT WVU LeBlanc may be particularly sensitive to diversity issues because his team members come from such widely varied backgrounds. LeBlanc has had athletes on his rosters from Australia, Brazil, England, Finland, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe, as well as students from 14 American states. Like LeBlanc, some of his team members had to discover the true West Virginia in the heart of the Morgantown community. “Prior to coming to WVU, I had never been to West Virginia before,” said former defender Reed Cooper. “Being from Wisconsin, I knew very little about the state: no more than some stereotypes. What I found was that the people and community are nothing but kind to everyone who comes here. West Virginians are welcoming people who love their state.” Coming from Trinidad, Donald LaGuerre, a former midfielder majoring in exercise physiology, left his home and culture behind for a place he knew little about. “I had no idea what to expect at WVU or from WVU. But I have no regrets about coming to Morgantown. I enjoy the education system, the social life, the different teams (especially soccer), and the people I have met here. It is a place where I fit.” During the recruiting process, LeBlanc tries to get recruits from across the country and around the world to visit. He knows if they meet the people, they will find a home. “Getting them here to see the community for themselves is the biggest challenge,” he claimed. “Once they see WVU and Morgantown, they fall in love with the community very quickly.”

2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Once they become Mountaineers, the next challenge his players must overcome is homesickness, which is especially acute for international students who can’t return to their own homes for holidays and breaks. LaGuerre agreed that being away from home and family can be difficult. “My only concerns here were the winters since I came from the warm Caribbean climate, and the fact that I don’t get to see my mother very often,” he said. LeBlanc believes that coaches have the responsibility to make their student athletes feel at home, and he and his wife Jennifer work to foster a family feeling by inviting students to Thanksgiving dinner and other events at their home. Players from around the world also quickly bond with each other through their shared love of soccer. Teammates and friends support each other through homesickness. Soon, they embrace WVU as tightly as it embraces them. LaGuerre knew it had happened for him when he started to call his Morgantown apartment “home.” “I love my country, Trinidad and Tobago,” he said. “I am what we refer to back home as a ‘Trini to d Bone,’ meaning that I am happy with my home and proud of it. At first it was difficult to say to my teammates and friends that I was “going home” in reference to my apartment in downtown Morgantown. But this quickly changed, and going to my apartment was going home. WVU is my second home.” Like LeBlanc, LaGuerre and Cooper found a good fit in what began as an unfamiliar place. “Most of the people here were intrigued by my culture and country,” LaGuerre said. “I found the WVU community very welcoming coming in my freshman year, and that support only seemed to grow as the years went on,” Cooper agreed. “Once you are in the WVU community, it’s like you’re part of a new larger family.” This story appeared on WVU’s website in 2007.

oneWVU His goals for the project are ambitious. “I hope we can build the sense of inclusion and true community in everyone,” LeBlanc added. “If people are willing to look beyond their biases, their preconceived notions, and say, ‘Ok. These guys are a part of me, and this girl plays for WVU’ then maybe that would eliminate racism, even underlying racism that people don’t know they have. We all need to look at what it is that binds us rather than what it makes us different.” According to LeBlanc, what binds Mountaineers is a pride in the University’s life-changing work, a lifelong devotion to the friends made here, and a sense that the WVU community will always welcome its Mountaineers home—whereever they come from and whereever they go. “If pride in our teams, and pride in this place can be harnessed to build unity, we will do everything we can to promote that pride,” said LeBlanc. His players are the first to agree. “I think my teammates from around the world, and those from across the US, will feel they have found a home here at WVU, and that this is a place we all will consider our second homes for our entire lives,” Cooper said. “Once you’re a part of the WVU community family, you’re always a part of it.” We are all oneWVU.

teams aren’t just beating up on themselves every single week like we do. The level of competition would still be very good in conference, but our hopes are that we’d be better suited to play some of those nonconference games and still be at a high level to play on the weekends against the inconference teams.

MOUNTAINEER PROFILES

The squad played some talented teams, such as Akron and Crystal Palace Baltimore, in the spring. How did that help the team besides maintain their fitness level? For us, it was about getting a number of different guys playing time, and we were able to implement our system and see what works best for this team. Most of the components were already here for the spring. Certainly, playing a professional side and the best team in America in most people’s opinion that didn’t win the national title [Akron], it was a good test for our guys. It was good for us from a character perspective, a confidence perspective, a tactical perspective, and obviously, a fitness perspective.

2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Although three starters from last year’s squad graduated, the core of the team remains intact. How does that help in regards to team chemistry and building a successful unit? For the first time, we’ve been able to have most of our group back for the spring, and it was nice for a change, plus having one of our freshman recruits, Julio Arjona, enroll in January. We were able to do a lot of things in terms of implementing the system and figuring out what was going to be best for our team early rather than having to put the pieces together in August. Having eight returning starters, plus Julio, and a pretty deep squad all spring was able to give us the ability to mix and match some different guys, and also implement the system that we’re hoping to be able to use. Opening the season with two teams that reached the 2009 NCAA Tournament is quite a challenge. What was the method behind scheduling such a tough opening tournament? Part of what you try to do early is to give yourself a pretty good gauge of where you’re going to be pretty early on in the season, and certainly to prepare for the BIG EAST portion of the schedule, which is the most important aspect of our season. By bringing in two top-caliber teams to our annual classic, it gives us an opportunity to put ourselves against two teams that we know are going to be in the thick of it and in the hunt for an NCAA berth at the end of the year. The philosophy always has been to play the best no matter whom the opponent – it’s always to play the best opponent we can to prepare the team, and I think, again, with our nonconference schedule, we’ve been able to accomplish that. With the new BIG EAST schedule format in place, where each team plays nine league games, how does that help you position yourself for a chance to get into the NCAA Tournament? First and foremost, our conference is unlike any other in America. We have 16 conference institutions, and the old format of 11 BIG EAST games made it very difficult for our programs in the BIG EAST to be able to go outside the league and play tough games and still be able to maintain that intensity through a grueling regular season. Our conference is unique geographically in that we’re spread out all over the country, from Florida, to Indiana, to Illinois, to Rhode Island. Certainly, the travel and level of competition is tough enough as is, yet alone playing 11 conference games. Going down to nine conference games puts us at a level playing field for some other conferences, like the Big Ten, the ACC and the Pac-10. Those

Last year’s season-opening crowd of 2,938 broke the single-game attendance record. Additionally, WVU ranked 25th nationally in average home attendance – the highest mark in program history. What do you attribute the attendance success to? There’s no doubt that our schedule over the last two to three years has been tremendously rigorous. Over the last few years, we’ve been able to bring in some big-name programs to Morgantown that never really came here before, such as Maryland, Ohio State and UC-Santa Barbara. The competition and the quality level of opponent that we’ve been able to bring here attract the crowds, and certainly, the growth of the program, the quality student-athlete that we have helped. The fact that our men’s soccer program is now recognized as one of the better ones in the country builds a perfect storm for what fans want to see. We always tell our fans that it doesn’t matter if you’re a soccer fan or not – if you’re a West Virginia fan, you belong out there supporting your program. Our marketing department has really pushed our program, and certainly, our staff does everything that we can to build up the attendance. The environment is second-to-none. We have a stadium that suits our fans. They’re right on top of the field. We have a level of play that’s exciting, is attacking and is entertaining to watch. We like to believe that this program, when the stands are full and people are there, is going to be quite an intimidating environment for people to come into. What do you hope to gain from your new personnel – assistant coaches Brian Johnson and Chad Brown? Adding BJ and Chad has been great for our guys. It’s been a new perspective. It’s also the first time we’ve been really able to build a true staff here. With BJ and Chad, they bring different dynamics to our program. One has been in a pro setting for the last five years and has won championships. The other one helped the rebuild of a good UNLV program. Both have unique perspectives, and both are very good balances of each other. All three of us are very different in terms of personalities. BJ and Chad are good, young coaches, who are aspiring to be champions here as well, and certainly, in their own right, have a lot that they can add to the program, not only on the field, but in their recruiting circles as well. We’re very pleased to add two quality coaches in BJ and Chad.

WEST VIRGINIA MEN’S SOCCER

With last year’s class a season older and a couple of junior college transfers joining the program, what are the three goals for 2010? First and foremost, it’s going to be for us to come together very quickly as a group. That’s actually a team goal. Secondly, the goal is to be competing for the BIG EAST regular season and tournament championships. That is something we think we’re ready to step out and be in the hunt for – the regular-season championship. The regular-season title is more important because I think that’s the truer indicator of who your champion is, and then obviously getting to New York for the BIG EAST Final Four. The third goal is to not just get back to the NCAA Tournament, but to take a shot at making a deep run for the Final Four. If we have goals that don’t revolve around championships, then we’re not really setting the right goals for our program. It’s not to just be back in the NCAA Tournament, but to take the opportunity to make a deep run at a national title.

Adding Uzi to the back line is a big plus for us, giving us more age and maturity on the team. I think he’s going to have a good impact, especially with the fact that he’s playing next to a healthy Dan Hagey, Eric Schoenle and Ray Gaddis. The best part about our defense and what we have coming back is that all these new players are coming in to complement returning players. We have depth at every position for the first time.

2009 REVIEW

Ray Gaddis is, without a doubt, the best right back in America. His development is the most evident of any of our guys, especially those who saw him as a freshman and again as a sophomore. It was unfortunate he got hurt at the end of last year because he was such a big part of why we were so good. When we lost him for the last four games of the year, it left a considerable-sized gap in our team. With Ray on the field, he’ll always give us a chance to win. That kid bleeds Gold and Blue and will for the rest of his life. He personifies what being a Mountaineer is all about.

RECORD BOOK

Goalkeeper Zach Johnson has continued to shine during his time in goal. Entering his senior campaign, what are your expectations of him? Last year was a good year for him, especially from a numbers perspective, and he actually had the least amount to do in his three years here. I think, for Zach, it’s just about going out and being the best he can be. He’s going to graduate in December, and he’s going to have a much lighter load, in terms of his academics, so he can put a lot of focus on his soccer and being the best goalkeeper he can be. Zach, in my opinion, is going to be the best senior goalkeeper in America next year. It’s up to him to go out and prove it. I think the young man is going to be the top goalkeeper taken in the MLS Draft come January. I think a first team All-America season is clearly within his reach. The opportunity to set almost every record in the record books for a goalkeeper is within his reach as well. I think he finally has the team in front of him that’s capable of achieving more than any other team in history. That has to be the measuring stick for Zach, and that has to be his focus heading into his final season of competition.

Everyone witnessed the quick development and maturation in a single season of Eric Schoenle on the back line. How does it help having a player like him and Raymon Gaddis on defense? What does the addition of Uzi Tayou do to the unit? Before Eric came in, we told people he’s going to be the least heralded of all of our recruits, and may end up being the best one. Eric has caught a lot of people’s eyes since he first got here. The development he made was not unexpected, but we still think he has so much further he can go as a player. Eric’s going to be, by the end of the season, and hopefully by the end of his career, one of the best center backs in America. I think he has a bright future as a professional, and maybe even as a national team member somewhere down the line.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

The 2009 team, especially the younger group of forwards and midfielders, showed glimpses of offensive talent. What does Franck Tayou and the other incoming freshmen bring to help spark the offense? The group last year understands the opportunity that they had to come in and play so many minutes at the start. Last year was our first year on the full complement of NCAA scholarships at 9.9, and that group benefitted greatly from that and that’s why we were so young. Good, bad or indifferent, we threw those guys into the mix in order for them to learn, whether they learned and success came, or they learned and failure came. They had to learn. I think the benefits of all those guys playing big minutes last year will hopefully come through in this upcoming season and the year after that. With the addition of some of those other guys, plus Franck Tayou, an older, junior college transfer, we get a little bit of age and maturity. You add in Jay Williams, who doesn’t have to feel the pressure of stepping in and being the program’s savior right from the start. The hopes are that the new guys will complement the returning players, and the returning players have learned enough from being thrown into the fire a year ago.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES

Last year, the West Virginia University men’s soccer team entered the unknown. The squad was unaware of what the future held with such a young, yet talented, group with many of the new faces coming together for the first time. Fast forward to the end of the 2009 season, and the group was one that quickly jelled, displayed limitless potential and showed fans what looks to be a promising future for the Mountaineers. This team is a year older and more mature, returning eight starters, including staples on the back line that led WVU to become known as one of the toughest and grittiest defenses in the nation. In the past two seasons, the team has ranked in the Top 15 nationally in goals against average (12th with a 0.64 GAA in 2008 and eighth with a 0.61 mark in 2009) and save percentage (fifth with a 0.863 mark in 2008 and 10th with a 0.859 clip in 2009). Not to mention, the Mountaineers have arguably one of the top players between the posts to bolster the defense. Between an impressive corps of midfielders and forwards and key additions with the 2010 recruiting class, the Mountaineers seem poised and positioned to make a run at each of their three goals: come together as a group, an often overlooked characteristic of success, compete for the BIG EAST regular season and tournament titles and make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

SCHEDULE Year in and year out, the Mountaineers continue to face a challenging schedule under coach Marlon LeBlanc. Thirteen teams on the 2010 slate finished 2009 with winning records, including nine squads, which finished in the nation’s Top 55 RPI. WVU faces a heavy nonconference schedule of NCAA Tournament participants Monmouth and UNC Wilmington, both of whom also won their regular season and tournament titles, along with William & Mary, Old Dominion, James Madison and Elon. Residing in one of the country’s toughest conferences, WVU’s BIG EAST schedule poses even more challenges. Marquee matchups at home include contests against DePaul, Notre Dame and Pitt, with road games against USF and Connecticut. “I like our schedule for a number of reasons,” LeBlanc says. “It’s balanced pretty well in terms of home and away. It has some major NCAA Tournament championship-threat type teams in our conference and nonconference schedule. I think our schedule will test our kids’ character mentally and physically and certainly prepare us for a grueling BIG EAST schedule and hopefully a postseason berth.” GOALKEEPERS Redshirt senior Zach Johnson has transformed into one of the best goalkeepers in program history and quickly comes to the forefront of the discussion when talking about top goalkeepers in the country. A Lumberton, N.J., native, Johnson gives the Mountaineers peace of mind in between the posts. Last year, he earned second team all-BIG EAST honors and was named a third-team selection on the all-region squad. He started all 18 matches in 2009, never missing a minute of action, while boasting a 0.61 goalsagainst average (eighth-best nationally), a 0.848 save percentage (18thbest nationally) and 10 clean sheets. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, he is an ideal professional prospect and is determined to make his final season the exclamation point on what should be a long-lasting legacy. Behind Johnson lies a great amount of wdepth in redshirt sophomore Yale Tiley, redshirt freshman Paul Killian and freshman Travis Ives. Tiley and Killian have exuded their desire to compete for the starting spot through their tireless work ethic and competitiveness. Ives, meanwhile, is one of the top goalkeeping prospects out of New Jersey, and much like Johnson, has the size at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, to make an immediate impact.

MIDFIELDERS As tough as WVU’s defense is, the midfield position is arguably WVU’s deepest in terms of numbers and talent. While the midfield is usually associated with setting up plays and linking the front and back lines, the Mountaineers’ midfielding corps went above and beyond. As a group, it

WEST VIRGINIA MEN’S SOCCER

COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON

FORWARDS What may have been the most examined group on the Mountaineers’ roster last season, the forwards head into 2010 with a positive – experience. Entering last season, WVU only had two forwards – Adam Mills and Michael Pitrolo – with collegiate experience and a tremendous amount of youth, all of whom were quickly thrown into the fire. However, with juniors Mills and Pitrolo and sophomores Moeryhan “Peabo” Doue (two goals in 2009), Uwem Etuk (two goals in 2009) and Matt Strauss, WVU seems more assured of its offense heading into the season. Throughout the year and even in the spring, the group showed significant signs of development and maturation. In a game that often sees little scoring, the team tallied at least one goal in 10 of its 18 contests during the fall. Not to mention, with the squad’s defense, one goal at most could turn into a result for the Mountaineers. LeBlanc knows, though, that in order to make a run at the NCAA Tournament, WVU will have to capitalize more on its scoring chances. “Anyone who watched West Virginia soccer last year saw a team that, more times than not, held a lot of the possession and play and just struggled on that final element, which was sticking the ball in the back of the net. I personally believe that a lot of it comes down to confidence, attitude and a desire to really believe that those guys individually can step forward and make a play when we need them to.” The team was provided more scoring options with the additions of Yannick Iwunze, Brooks Nucilli, junior college transfer Franck Tayou and Jay Williams. A Paris, France, native, Iwunze has a tremendous amount of international and club experience and has the ability to find the back of the net. A Fairmont, W.Va., native, Nucilli, the 2009 West Virginia High School AAA State Player of the Year, finished his scholastic career with jaw-dropping stats at 93 goals and 77 assists. Tayou will provide a big target up front for the Mountaineers as well as an experienced leader, while Williams’ speed and tools can make him a lethal weapon.

2009 REVIEW

DEFENDERS A position that has rarely been questioned is the Mountaineers’ defense. Last year, the defense helped hold teams to a lowly 0.068 shooting percentage and less than 10 shots per game, while posting 10 shutouts. The trio of senior Dan Hagey, junior Raymon Gaddis and sophomore Eric Schoenle became a key ingredient to the team’s success on the back line. Gaddis and Schoenle, especially, have flourished under LeBlanc’s watch. An Indianapolis, native, Gaddis’ tenacity and technical skill have helped him become one of the best right backs in the BIG EAST and at the national level, while Schoenle has made a name for himself in just one season. An all-BIG EAST Rookie Team member, Schoenle also was tabbed to two different rookie teams (CollegeSoccerNews and TopDrawerSoccer). “Sometimes it gets forgotten about how good of a defensive team we are,” LeBlanc explains. “The old adage that defense wins championships will eventually come through for us. We have guys who will fight and play hard every single minute of every single game. Because of that foundation that we have in the back, we always know that we’re going to be in every game, regardless of who we’re playing.” Alongside Hagey, Gaddis and Schoenle will be juniors Nick Claudio and Ruben Garrido and redshirt sophomore Connor Gorman, who is expected to return after missing the past two seasons with a knee injury. Although the group loses Jason Bristol, Ryan Gillespie and Kyle West to graduation, WVU vows it will not miss a beat with incoming recruits Zachary Claudio, Allan Flott and junior college transfer Uzi Tayou. A Charleston, W.Va., native and brother of Nick, Claudio was the 2009-10 Gatorade West Virginia Boy’s Soccer Player of the Year. Flott, standing at 6-foot, comes to WVU with outstanding high school accolades and club team experience. Tayou also has tremendous size at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, but more importantly brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to an already established and noteworthy defense. “No one can ever take our team lightly because of the corps and leadership that we have in the back,” LeBlanc reiterates.

accounted for seven goals and 10 assists for 24 of WVU’s 36 points – or 67 percent of the team’s points. With the graduation of Gift Maworere, a skillful and determined leader, the Mountaineers must find a leader to step up take the reins of this group. Age-wise, that person is expected to be senior Alex Silva, who led the Mountaineers with three goals last season. Teaming up with Silva will be the lethal contingent of sophomores Abel “Shadow” Sebele, Travis Pittman, Nathan Adams, Tuan Doan and Garrido, who will rotate between midfield and defense. “The sky is the limit” certainly holds true for a group that swiftly developed over the 2009 campaign. The Mountaineers’ quickly improved with the addition of freshman and early enrollee Julio Arjona, who began attending WVU in January and played in the team’s spring season, and Oregon State transfer Matt Drake. Arjona, most notably, was a U.S. U-17 National Team Standout and a 2009 NSCAA Boys’ Youth All-American. A junior, Drake played in 13 matches with the Beavers, gaining valuable collegiate experience. “Our midfield is going to end up being one of the best in America,” LeBlanc exclaims. “We have guys in there that can make major contributions, and we have a lot of depth in there as well. We think that’s going to be the strength of our team. If we can get goals out of our midfield, that’ll be even better. That midfield group is loaded with talent, options and players who are poised to step forward and make an impact.”

RECORD BOOK

“I think with the support that we have, we have been able to build some depth at the goalkeeper position in particular,” LeBlanc comments. “Paul Killian and Yale Tiley got the opportunity to play this spring. Both have been in the system, and then you bring in one of the top goalkeeping prospects in America as well in Travis Ives – those three are hungry to get in and play and challenge Zach Johnson, which is only going to help him. Those three also understand that they have the opportunity to learn from one of the best goalkeepers in America.”

of qualifying for postseason play each year since 2004. The season opened on Sept. 4, with that same buzz still holding true and evidently reaching a heavy contingent of the Mountaineer faithful. In a matchup against 16th-ranked UCSanta Barbara, a record-shattering 2,938 fans piled into Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, easily breaking the previous single-game high at home (2,153 versus Notre Dame on Oct. 18, 2006). Fans, including University President James P. Clements, packed the stands and filed around the field to witness the first game of the 2009 campaign. Despite starting five freshmen, WVU came out of the gate strong, nearly scoring in the opening minutes of the game. However, it was the Gauchos that capitalized on their opportunities and went on to earn a 2-0 decision. Fans obviously weren’t discouraged by WVU’s strong performance, and the Mountaineers certainly didn’t hang their heads heading into their next contest against Buffalo in the WVU Classic. In front of nearly

With the 2009 season approaching, there seemed to be a bigger than normal buzz surrounding the West Virginia University men’s soccer team. In late April, months before the season commenced, the schedule was unveiled. The slate was loaded with challenges, ones that would potentially prepare the Mountaineers for postseason competition. Even more noteworthy was the fact that WVU would play host to the 2009 BIG EAST Championship. A little more than a week later, the 2009 recruiting class was tabbed by Soccer America as the 12th-best nationally – the highest rank in program history. And on Aug. 12, the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll and preseason squad were announced, highlighted by Zach Johnson earning the title of BIG EAST Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year and a spot on the all-league preseason team. Under coach Marlon LeBlanc’s watch, the youthful team showed tremendous signs of progression and development throughout the year, with it all becoming evident at the end of the season in terms of accolades. Although Johnson headlined the list of conference awards, garnering all-BIG EAST second team accolades, it was the newcomers who turned the individual honors into a laundry list. Freshmen Abel “Shadow” Sebele and Eric Schoenle were selected to the all-BIG EAST Rookie Team, and Schoenle went on to earn three more notable awards TopDrawerSoccer all-Rookie first team, CollegeSoccerNews all-Freshman second team and NSCAA all-Northeast Region third team. Additionally, Gift Maworere, in his final season, earned third team all-league honors. Raymon Gaddis and Johnson rounded out the honors, earning first and third team all-region honors, respectively. For a team that featured five to six freshmen starters on a daily basis and was hobbled by key injuries late in the season, the Mountaineers finished with a respectable 7-5-6 overall record, going 6-3-2 against BIG EAST competition to finish third in the Blue Division. The team earned the No. 3 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament and continued its streak

nor let up. USF was held to only three shots – its lowest total of the season – and zero shots on goal. Although WVU could not manage to find the back of the net during regulation, it took only one minute and 12 seconds into the first overtime to bring the boisterous crowd to its feet. On a ball that was cleared by a USF defender, Alex Silva – who earned the assist – headed the ball back into USF territory and it rolled into the 18yard box. Sebele, with only the goalkeeper to beat, tapped it around USF’s goalkeeper and into the open net for the game-winner. The Mountaineers went on to record three more victories, including one at 22nd-ranked Notre Dame, and four draws during the streak. While

1,000 fans, the two teams battled hard in a game that saw 37 fouls called and nine cards distributed. WVU dominated the game and the persistence finally paid off in the form of freshman Moeryhan “Peabo” Doue’s first career score – a game-winner with only 55 seconds remaining the second and final overtime session. Doue, Gaddis and Maworere earned spots on the alltournament team for their play over the weekend. After a pair of double-overtime draws at the UNC Wilmington Tournament to the host and Appalachian State, WVU moved on to open conference play at 13th-ranked Louisville, an offensive powerhouse. The Mountaineers battled with the much older squad, but fell 2-0. The game carried a great amount of significance, though. A stern locker room talk following the match from LeBlanc seemed to have quite the effect and noticeably reached each Mountaineer. Continuing that same road trip, the Mountaineers traveled north to Cincinnati and put on an offensive showcase. Controlling possession for the majority of the game, WVU took advantage of its opportunities and left Ohio with a 2-0 victory, the team’s first league win. More importantly, it was the first of nine straight matches the Mountaineers went unbeaten (Sept. 20 to Oct. 21). While the win was impressive, arguably the team’s biggest and most noteworthy victory of the year came on Sept. 25 at home against thirdranked USF. In front of another large home crowd – 1,574 fans – the Mountaineers had quite a challenge at their hands. The team’s potential was on full display at both ends of the field. The Bulls entered the contest averaging 18.5 shots, but the Mountaineer defense did not back down

the success certainly helped the team in the league standings and for a shot at an NCAA berth, defenders Jason Bristol and Gaddis suffered injuries against the Buckeyes, glaring setbacks for the Mountaineers. Although WVU won its regular-season finale, defeating Seton Hall on the road, 2-0, the team faltered in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament, losing 2-0 to a more physical and experienced Rutgers team. From a statistical point of view, the Mountaineers again were one of the top defensive teams in the nation. The squad ranked eighth nationally in team goals-against average (0.61), ninth in shutout percentage (0.56) and 10th in save percentage (0.859). WVU also held opponents to a lowly 0.67 goals per game, less than 10 shots per game and only once did an opposing team tally double-digits in shots on goal. When comparing WVU to the rest of the conference, the Mountaineers ranked third in goals-against average and fourth in shutouts. Impressively enough, WVU was one of only eight teams in the BIG EAST to finish with a plus in scoring margin. Individually, Johnson ranked eighth in the nation in GAA (0.61) and 18th in save percentage (0.848). By the conclusion of the season, Johnson and Maworere had made their marks in the record book. Maworere moved into fifth place all-time on the career charts in matches started with 76. Johnson continued to rewrite the goalkeeper annals, moving into second place all-time in career goalkeeper minutes (5,632). With his 10 clean sheets in 2009, Johnson ranks second with 31 career shutouts. He also is now sixth in saves with 225. The squad lost four players due to graduation, three of whom were starters, but with the core starting lineup set to return, the 2010 season holds promise. The team carries arguably the best goalkeeper and one of the best defensive units in the nation. With a young and talented group of midfielders and forwards, the future is certainly buzzing.

ALL-AMERICANS RON MCEACHEN

MOUNTAINEER PROFILES

1967, Hartford, Conn. Ron McEachen, WVU’s first All-American, played right halfback for the Mountaineers in his senior season in 1967. As co-captain, McEachen helped the Mountaineers to an 11-1 record and a Southern Conference championship. Also elected first team All-South in 1967, McEachen helped the team to a 39-10-1 record in his four years at WVU. He currently is the head coach at Skidmore College.

WALT NISTORENKO

2009 REVIEW

2010 SEASON

1968, Newark, N.J. One of the most prolific scorers in Mountaineer history, Walt Nistorenko accomplished many things in just two seasons at West Virginia. Exploding onto the scene in 1967, Nistorenko became a third-team All-American for his efforts in guiding the Mountaineers to an 11-1 year and a Southern Conference championship. That year, he tallied 27 goals, second all-time in WVU history. One year later, he led WVU to an 8-1-1 record, on 14 goals and six assists en route to the school’s first berth into the NCAA tournament. Despite losing to defending national co-champion Saint Louis, Nistorenko tallied two goals on a Billiken team that had only given up three the entire season. He continues to hold the season record for shots with 68. Prior to his impressive career in Morgantown, Nistorenko was a two-time junior college All-American at Keystone Junior College. Nistorenko’s son, Walt Jr., played for the Mountaineers from 1993-96.

PAT SULLIVAN

RECORD BOOK

1968, Rocky Hill, Conn. In the same season in which teammate Walt Nistorenko led the Mountaineers in scoring, junior Pat Sullivan anchored a Mountaineer defense that gave up just 10 goals and shutout four opponents. Playing fullback, Sullivan also led a defense that allowed just 136 shots. Sullivan joined the squad in 1968 after transferring from Mitchell Junior College.

JON CAPON

WEST VIRGINIA MEN’S SOCCER

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

1981, Rockville, Md. In his senior season, Jon Capon was a dominating force between the posts. A two-time All-South selection, Capon allowed just 17 goals in 16 games, with six shutouts, in an 11-5 season for the Mountaineers. The three-time captain also posted a 1.13 goals-against average with 1,350 minutes in the net that season. For his career, Capon saved 342 shots, the most in WVU history. He also holds a 1.22 career goalsagainst average mark and 28 shutouts, both records that stood at WVU for over 25 years.

ALL-AMERICANS COACHING STAFF

NICK NOBLE

MOUNTAINEER PROFILES

2006, Damascus, Md. Nick Noble put together one of the finest four-year careers in the history of WVU soccer and topped it off by earning first team All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) and second team accolades from Soccer America in 2006. The Damascus, Md., native ranked nationally throughout the season in goals against average (0.63) and save percentage (.864). The 2006 BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year and first team all-conference selection holds career marks at WVU in matches played (79), goals against average (0.88), shutouts (37) and minutes played (7,156), while ranking second in career saves (302). Nationally, he was selected to the CollegeSoccerNews and Soccer America teams of the week a combined three times as a Mountaineer. Along with fellow senior Jarrod Smith, he became the first Mountaineer menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer player to earn All-America status since 1981. Noble also became the fourth WVU soccer player to be drafted by an MLS team when the Chicago Fire selected him with the seventh overall pick in the 2007 supplemental draft.

JARROD SMITH 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW

2006, Havelock North, New Zealand Few WVU strikers put together better careers than Jarrod Smith. The Havelock North, New Zealand, native earned first team All-America honors from Soccer America and second team recognition from the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA). Smith also earned national honors from the ECAC, CollegeSoccerNews and SoccerTimes. The all-BIG EAST first team selection in 2006 and M.A.C. Hermann Award finalist scored 14 goals in 15 matches to go along with four assists. The senior forward set the BIG EAST single-season conference goals record in 2006 with 12 and the single-season conference-points record with 28. Smith netted 32 goals in four seasons for WVU, tied for fifth all-time in school history. He played in 74 matches in his career. Smith became the third Mountaineer ever drafted into the MLS when Toronto FC chose him with the first overall pick in the 2007 supplemental draft.

ANDY WRIGHT RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

2007, Liverpool, England Senior captain Andrew Wright closed his senior campaign at WVU with six goals and six assists for a total of 18 points.

PRESIDENT JAMES P. CLEMENTS DR. JAMES P. CLEMENTS COACHING STAFF MOUNTAINEER PROFILES 2010 SEASON 2009 REVIEW RECORD BOOK WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

James P. Clements has said that no university in the country means as much to its state as West Virginia University means to West Virginia. Since becoming WVU’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has shown a strong dedication to expanding the University’s role as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing superior academic programs, expanding a wellness initiative for students, technologically advancing research for use around the globe and strengthening service and health-care initiatives for the community. Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of this commitment, including: adding100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating capital funds to expand outdoor recreational space for students; creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; and increasing research to strengthen the University’s position as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences. Additional priorities have been to continue offering world-class health care and – through WVU’s Top-10 ranked Rural Health Program – remain committed to increasing state outreach in the health sciences. Other goals include finding more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, increasing the diversity of WVU’s learning community and developing an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities. He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds. In 2009-10, private giving to the University increased, external and competitive funding for research grew, and student applications increased, keeping enrollment strong. A major strategic planning process was launched, several new facilities opened and ground was broken on a project to house WVU’s nationally acclaimed Physics Program. Recently, Dr. Clements was appointed to the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Women in Higher Education and was appointed to serve as the Outreach Liaison for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), representing the Mid-Atlantic Region. Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to help achieve these objectives and guide WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second-largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the university. With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University.

At WVU, Dr. Clements is a tenured professor in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category. Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, and the WVU Hospitals. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards. He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.

RECORD BOOK

Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the National Football League and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the National Football League before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair

Oliver Luck is the right man at the right time for West Virginia University. President James P. Clements appointed the former Mountaineer quarterback Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010, making him the 11th person to hold that title at WVU. “Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.” “It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU. “WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a recordsetting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That certainly held true for West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. What stayed the same? Simply, it was WVU flexing its collective athletic muscles in the BIG EAST and on the national scene, yet again, in what continues to be the contemporary Golden Era. What changed? Simply, it was just changing the calendar to another year. Leading the way in what was yet another banner season for the department was the men’s basketball team’s school-record 31 wins, which saw the squad reach the NCAA Final Four for the second time in school history and win its first-ever BIG EAST championship. The team finished the year No. 3 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll, defeated seven ranked teams, reached the “Sweet 16” for the fifth time in the last six NCAA Tournament appearances, and coach Bob Huggins won his 670th career game in the Elite 8 victory over Kentucky. Individually, Da’Sean Butler led the way for WVU, garnering John Wooden, Basketball Times and Associated Press All-America honors and was named the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award winner. Devin Ebanks, Kevin Jones and Joe Mazzulla also garnered postseason honors. Football posted a 9-4 record and a 5-2 BIG EAST mark, tying for second in the league. WVU posted its fifth-straight season of nine wins or more, played in its eighth-straight bowl game and sixth New Year’s Day Bowl in the decade when it played Florida State in the Gator Bowl. WVU finished No. 22/25 in the final polls, marking the fifthstraight season WVU has finished in the Associated Press’ Top 25. Quarterback Jarrett Brown became the first 2,000-yard passer since 1998, and Noel Devine rushed for 1,465 yards, marking the 13th season out of the last 14 years where a Mountaineer eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. Ten Mountaineers earned all-BIG EAST honors, while Reed Williams, a two-time Academic All-American, was named the BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year and a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. West Virginia is the only school in the country during the last six years to win two BCS Bowl Games in football and make four Sweet 16 appearances in men’s basketball. Women’s basketball, also set a school record for most wins in a season (29), finished second in the BIG EAST with 13 wins and was the BIG EAST Championship runner-up for the second time in school history. WVU reached as high as No. 7 in both major polls, marking its highest ranking in school history, and advanced to the NCAA

The cross country success carried over to the indoor track season as the team posted a program-best fourth-place finish at the BIG EAST Championships and school-best 10th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.

Outdoor track finished 16th at the NCAA Championships, marking the highest finish in program history. Four Mountaineers garnered All-America honors led by senior Asselin’s second-place showing in the 5,000-meter race. Senior Grandt finished fourth in the 10,000-meters, while classmates Karly Hamric and Bland finished sixth and ninth, respectively, in the 1,500 meters. Rifle, fresh off its 14th national championship in 2009, posted an 11-0 record in 2010, a third-place finish at nationals and was the GARC regular season and postseason champions. Seven shooters earned 12 National Rifle Association All-America honors, while coach Jon Hammond was named the GARC Coach of the Year. Gymnastics qualified for its 27th regional, and the Mountaineers were hosts of the NCAA Southeast Regional, finishing fourth. On the year, WVU posted a 19-9 record and a 10-2 EAGL record. Four Mountaineers garnered all-EAGL honors headlined by junior Amy Bieski garnering five accolades, including two first-team honors. At Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, the Mountaineer women’s soccer team qualified for its 10th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance with a 10-7-6 record, knocked off the highest-ranked opponent in school history with a 2-1 victory at No. 5 Penn State, and coach Nikki Izzo-Brown won her 200th career game in the 1-0 decision at Providence. Five Mountaineers garnered all-BIG EAST accolades, led by All-American Carolyn Blank’s all-BIG EAST first team recognition.

The men’s soccer team advanced to the BIG EAST Tournament for the sixth straight season with a 7-5-6 mark, while four players earned all-BIG EAST honors. WVU defeated two ranked teams in 2010, including No. 3 USF at home, marking the highest ranked opponent defeated since knocking off No. 1 Connecticut in 2007. Goalkeeper Zach Johnson and defender Eric Schoenle led the team in individual honors. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams had a combined 13 student-athletes garner all-BIG EAST accolades as both teams finished third at the BIG EAST Championships. Four swimmers earned honorable-mention All-America honors. Volleyball boasted its best league finish in over a decade and posted a 17-13 overall mark. Junior Lauren Evans was named all-BIG EAST. Women’s tennis finished the season 17-7, the most wins since 2004, and 7-3 in BIG EAST competition. The Mountaineers had a ninematch win-streak during the season and defeated BIG EAST-rival Pitt for the first time in three years. WVU was honored by the ITA as a 2009 all-academic team, and Stephanie LaFortune and Veronica Cardenas were named scholar-athletes. Wrestling qualified three student-athletes for the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Four Mountaineers finished the season ranked in the nation’s Top 33 and three Mountaineers placed second in their respective weight classes at the EWL Championships. Rowing placed sixth at the BIG EAST Championship with 63 points as the Varsity 4+ boat of Amanda Hirsch, Kaitlyn Brownson, Kensie Phillips, Brittany Brooks and coxswain Anastasia DuPont won a bronze medal. Senior Kimberly Benda garnered first team all-BIG EAST accolades and was named a BIG EAST Institutional Female ScholarAthlete. Baseball posted a 27-30 record, led by all-BIG EAST shortstop Jedd Gyorko, who finished his career as the school’s career leader in batting average (.404), doubles (73), extra basehits (113) and is tied for the school record in home runs (35).
