ART JOHNSON17th Year

Head Coach

Art Johnson is in his 17th season as head coach of the Owens men's soccer program.

In 2013, Johnson led the Express to a 15-6-1 record and the program's first ap-pearance in the Region XII tournament championship game since 2007. They also won the program's most games in a single season since 2007 and their 15 wins was the third most in a single season.

Following the season ending Region XII tournament championship game loss to Cincinnati State, the Express had five players selected All-OCCAC, three selected All-Region XII and Troy Watson was named the OCCAC Defen-sive Player of the Year. Freshman Bjion Campbell was named to the Region XII all-tourney team.

In 2012, the Express finished 14-6-1 as Johnson led the program to its first ever OCCAC championship while being named OCCAC Coach of the Year for the fifth time (2002, 2003, 2006, 2011). The season came to an end with a loss in the Region XII semifinals to Cincinnati

State. The team did, however, achieve the program's fourth highest win total in a single season, and they captured the Lincoln Land Tournament Champi-onship.

Since beginning the program in 1998, Johnson-led teams have compiled a 181-129-18 overall record. Through the 2013-14 season, Johnson has coached two NJCAA Athletic All-Americans (Glen-roy Miller - 2012 and Sean Bucknor - 2006 and 2007), 11 NJCAA Academic All-Americans and one NSCAA Athletic All-American.

Additionally, Johnson has produced 68 All-OCCAC honorees, 48 All-Region XII recipients, five OCCAC Offensive Player of the Year winners, five OCCAC Defen-sive Player of the Year honorees, three OCCAC Players of the Year, and one OC-CAC Midfielder of the Year.

In 2012, the Express swept every OC-CAC award possible. Moreover, Johnson coached the three highest vote getters in OCCAC postseason award voting in Glenroy Miller, Nickyle Webber and Juavanie Cole.

Personally, Johnson was named Region XII Coach of the Year in 2005.

Prior to coming to Owens, Johnson was a 19-year veteran of the St. John's Jesuit High School soccer program. In 12 sea-sons as head coach, he compiled a 150-51-20 record. He was named the 1997 Division I Ohio private school Coach of the Year.

Johnson is a native of Rochester, N.Y., and played soccer at Monroe Community College in 1975. He graduated from Ohio University in 1978, where he captained the

team as a senior. The Toledo resident returned as an assistant the following season.

2013 Year In Review



Toledo, OH---Sean Bucknor and Zane Polack each scored a goal as the Express men's soccer alumni team defeated the Express men's soccer team 3-1 on Saturday.

Tyler Kortokrax scored the lone goal for the Express men's soccer team, who trailed 1-0 at halftime following Bucknor's goal midway through the first half. Kortokrax's goal had tied the game before an own goal and Po-lack's goal helped the alumni side.

Michael Mason (2003-04) played the entire game in goal for the alumni team, while Joshua Kleinow and Ryan Wicher each played half the game in goal for the current Express team.

Notes

Nearly 20 former players took part in

Saturday's scrimmage, including for-mer assistant coach Jeremiah McNutt.

Bucknor is the single season and career scoring leader in Express men's soc-cer history. He scored 28 goals in each of his two seasons, and he earned NJ-CAA All-American honors in both years.

Polack, just like Bucknor, played for the Express in the fall of 2006 and 2007.

The 2007 team finished 15-5-2 and advanced to the Region XII cham-pionship before falling in PKs to Macomb Community College.

The 2013 Express men's soccer team will host Siena Heights University on Aug. 15 at 4 p.m. in their next scrim-mage. They open their regular sea-son Aug. 24 at Lake Michigan College.

Benton Harbor, MI---It was a wild second half, but the Express men’s soccer team found a way to defeat Lake Michigan College 4-2 today behind the heroics of two fresh-men - Jahmall Whittaker and Ryan Wicher.

The Express had taken a 2-0 lead at the break thanks to a pair of goals from Bjion Campbell and Jacob Martin in the half’s final 10 minutes. Martin assisted on Whit-taker’s goal, a loft over the charg-ing goalkeeper’s head, with 9:25 left in the half before Martin nailed his into the top right corner of the net with 4:11 left on an assist from Troy Watson.

Following that, Lake Michigan’s Ty-ler LaLonde produced two goals for his team with 32:07 and 11:47 left in regulation to tie it up.

Whittaker responded after receiv-ing a pass from Vijay Gentles and depositing it into the net to give the Express the 3-2 lead with 5:28

left.

Moments later, Gentles answered his mistake with a goal on a cross from Whittaker with 59 seconds left to give the Express a 4-2 lead.

Combs put the Express up 1-0 with a goal in the ninth minute on an assist from Tyler Kortokrax. Vijay Gentles added another goal in the 16th minute on an assist from Jar-rar to give the Express a 2-0 lead, which they would take into half-time.

Jarrar then opened the second half scoring with a goal in the 50th minute on an assist from Combs before Cuyahoga got back-to-back goals in the 59th and 62nd minute to pull within one.

“We went up 3-0, and then we be-came quite disorganized,” said 16th-year Express men’s soccer head coach Art Johnson.

His team would answer, though, as Combs netted his third goal of the

season in the 68th minute on an assist from Troy Watson.

After Cuyahoga answered that goal to make it only 4-3, the Express got their second goal from Jarrar in the 80th minute on an assist from Gentles for the final margin.

Toledo, OH---Lake Michigan Col-lege jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half before hanging on for a 3-2 upset of the Express men’s soccer team today.

Lake Michigan’s Jose Perez and Ross Smith scored at the 10:49 and 22:48 marks to put their team up 2-0 early. Smith’s goal came on a direct kick following a foul deep in Express territory.

Ahmad Jarrar, who had several scoring chances in the first half, then scored on a well-executed cross from Vijay Gentles to pull the Express within one at the 30:10 mark.

Perez then opened the second half with a difficult goal from the far left side of the field at the 49:34 mark to make it 3-1. He crossed the ball from the left into the top right corner of the net as Express goalkeeper Joshua Kleinow had no chance at saving the ball.

A short time later, Express mid-fielder Jacob Martin was taken down in the box, resulting in a pen-alty kick goal at the 60:33 mark. However, it would be the final goal of the game - despite several late chances for the Express that either went high, wide or got saved.

Kleinow saved five shots in goal, while Lake Michigan’s Danny Mar-tinez had six saves.

Notes

With the loss, the Express saw their seven game unbeaten streak end. They had not lost since a 2-1 defeat to Schoolcraft College on Sept. 4. The game also marked the third time the Express have given up three goals in a game this year, which is also the most goals they’ve allowed in a game.

The Express fall to 9-2-1 overall and 7-2-1 in Region XII, while Lake

Michigan improves to 6-6 overall and 6-6 in Region XII.

The Express will host Schoolcraft College on Wednesday at 4 p.m. The Ocelots dealt the Express their first loss earlier in the year.

Since starting the season 0-3, Lake Michigan has gone 6-3 since in the first year of their program.

Martin’s goal improved his team-high total to nine this year, while Gentles picked up his team-high ninth assist. Jarrar’s goal was his fourth of the year.

The Express had defeated Lake Michigan 4-2 in the season opener, so today’s loss evens up the sea-son series.

Toledo, OH---The Express men’s soccer team didn’t help them-selves in a 3-1 loss to No. 9 Monroe Community College at home today.

Monroe got on the board just 2:21 into the game when Jacob Martin (St. John’s Jesuit/Maumee, OH) headed the ball into his own goal off a corner kick.

Then, at the 29:58 mark, Express goalkeeper Joshua Kleinow (Has-lett/Holt, MI) came out to the right of the goal in an attempt to corral a ball, but it went through his hands. Monroe’s Dean Thompson took advantage and crossed a ball to James Ritchie, who booted it in.

Toledo, Ohio---Ian Richey signed a letter of intent on Saturday to become the third member of the Express men’s soccer freshmen class.

The 5’11” Kalida, Ohio native played four years as a midfielder/for-ward for the Kalida High School Wildcats. Under head coach Mark Czubik, Richey was a two-time First Team All-Putnam County League selection, as well as a one-time First Team All-District, one-time Second Team All-District, and one-time Second Team All-Ohio Divi-sion II selection.

He also served as a team captain in his senior season at Kalida. This past season, his game-winning penalty kick goal helped Kalida advance to the regional finals.

Richey will join an Express men’s

soccer team coming off a 15-6-1 season, where the team advanced to the Region XII tournament championship game for the first time since 2007.

Richey will also continue a Ka-lida High School tradition in the Express soccer program.

Tyler Kortokrax, a 2012 Kalida graduate, played for the Express men’s soccer program the past two years, while Erika Brinkman, also a 2012 graduate, played the past two years for the women’s soccer program.

Richey joins Cameron Jacques (De La Salle Collegiate H.S./Warren, Mich.) and Cooper Huslig (Moun-tain View H.S./Tucson, Ariz.) as one of three members of the 2014-15 Express men’s soccer freshmen class.

Toledo, Ohio---Canyon del Oro High School graduate Aaron Elledge will join the Express men’s soccer pro-gram starting in 2014-15.

The midfielder is a transfer from Northern Arizona University, but he did not play soccer there.

The 5’11” Elledge graduated from his Tucson, Ariz. high school in 2013. While there, he helped the Dorados to a Division 4A state championship in 2010. Elledge was a four-year varsity starter for coach Eddie Autz. Addition-ally, he was an Honorable Mention All-Southern Arizona selection in 2012, prior to being named Second Team All-Southern Arizona in 2013.

Elledge will join an Express men’s soccer team coming off a 15-6-1 season, where the team advanced to the Region XII tournament championship game for the first time since 2007-08.

Elledge will join Cooper Huslig (Mountain View H.S./Tucson, Ariz.), Ian Richey (Kalida H.S./Kalida, Ohio), and Cameron Jacques (De La Salle Collegiate H.S./Shelby Town-ship, Mich.) as one of four mem-bers so far in the 2014-15 Express men’s soccer freshmen class.

Toledo, Ohio---Trae Green has signed with the Express men’s soccer pro-gram.

Green hails from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada near Toronto. He is a 2012 graduate of Blessed Pope John Paul II Catholic Secondary School. While playing for the Panthers and coach Marco Lamana, Green was awarded most valuable player his junior and senior years.

The 6-3, 180-pounder played for the same club team as former Express player Troy Watson. Green and Watson’s former coach, Junior Groves, had a lot of good things to say about Green.

“[He] is the real deal and may be one of the top signings I have done in my career,” Groves said. The coach also said that, “[Green’s] skill and the pace of execution is beyond the normal football level.”

Green will join an Express men’s soccer team coming off a 15-6-1 season, where the team advanced to the Region XII tournament championship game for the first time since 2007-08.

Green will join Cooper Huslig (Mountain View H.S./Tucson, Ariz.), Ian Richey (Kalida H.S./Kalida, Ohio), Cameron Jacques (Waza F.C./Shelby Township, Mich.), and Aaron Elledge (Canyon del Oro H.S./Tuscon, Ariz.) as the fifth member of the 2014-15 Express men’s soccer freshmen class.

Toledo, Ohio---Matt Almester, a four-year letter winner from St. John’s Jesuit High School, has be-come the newest member of the 2014-15 Owens Community Col-lege men’s soccer freshmen class.

Almester, who graduated from Rossford High School locally, is transferring to Owens from NCAA Division I school Oakland Uni-versity, where he redshirted as a member of the men’s soccer team last year. He retains two years of eligibility at Owens.

As a senior at St. John’s Jesuit, Alm-ester had 22 goals and 12 assists en route to Division I First Team All-Ohio honors. Additionally, he was named First Team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference (TRAC), the TRAC Player of the Year and First Team All-District.

As a junior, Almester scored his team’s only two goals in a 2-1 win over Sylvania Southview in the dis-trict championship game. He even-

tually would lead his team to an appearance in the regional finals.

Notes

With Almester’s signing, next year’s Owens men’s soccer pro-gram will feature the 2012-13 TRAC Player of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year (Ryan Wicher, Whitmer High School).

Almester transferred to Rossford midway through his senior year of high school. He played four sea-sons at St. John’s Jesuit, but ended up graduating from Rossford.
