Head Coach Doug Hill

Doug HillHead Coach

Ninth season at Air Force(57-78-19)

USAFA 1983

Doug Hill enters his ninth season as head coach at Air Force in 2015. Hill, who spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach at Air Force before being promoted to head coach in June of 2007, took the Falcons to heights during the 2012 season the program had not seen in nearly 15 years.

A 1983 graduate of the Academy, Hill guid-ed his team to a spectacular run through the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Cham-pionships and AFA’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1997. Air Force finished the season with a 10-9-4 record, including three straight wins at the MPSF Champion-ships for the school’s first conference cham-pionship in program history. For his efforts, Hill was named the MPSF’s Coach of the Year for 2012.

The Falcons, who lost to the University of Washington 1-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, defeated nationally-ranked New Mexico three times during the season (although a 5-3 shootout advantage in the MPSF championship game is techni-cally considered a tie) and senior midfielder Kevin Durr was named the MVP of the MPSF Championships. Hill, who enters the 2014 campaign with a 50-71-14 career record, also guided the Class of 2013 to the most victories by a class (36) since the class of `04 (37).

Last season, Hill guided the Falcons to a 7-7-4 record and a 3-6-1 mark in Western Ath-letic Conference play. In his eight seasons at the helm, Hill has coached 27 Falcons to all-conference honors.

In 2013, Hill led the Falcons to a first-place tie in the Mountain Division of the Western Athletic Conference. Air Force finished 3-2-5 in league play and advanced to the semi-finals of the conference tournament. In his seven seasons at the helm, Hill has coached 27 Falcons to all-conference honors, includ-ing two last season.

Hill, who holds a United States Soccer Fed-eration “A” license, was a four-year varsity letterman at Air Force and played for his predecessor, Lou Sagastume. He was team

captain both his junior and senior seasons. In all four years, Hill helped the Falcons win the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship. After graduation, he remained at the Academy as the assistant soccer coach and a physical education in-structor for one year.

Hill left the Academy in 1984 for Dyess AFB, Texas, where he was an instructor navigator in the C-130 aircraft. In addition, he assisted and filled in as the interim head soccer coach for the men’s and women’s soccer teams at Hardin-Simmons University (Texas) from 1986-1988. In 1988, he led the women’s team to the National Association of Intercol-legiate Athletics (NAIA) championship game and finished second in the nation. He also played on the all-Air Force soccer team in 1985 and 1987 and coached the 1986 team.

After eight years away from the Academy, Hill returned as an assistant coach in 1992 and helped guide the Falcons to consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament in `92 and `93. In 1993, the Falcons advanced to the Final Eight after beating undefeated and No. 1-ranked Creighton, 2-1, in four overtimes on the road in the first round. The 1996 team advanced to the WAC championships after going 14-3-3 during the regular sea-son, while the 1997 squad earned a trip to the NCAA Tourney.

Hill moved on to McChord AFB, Wash., in 1997, holding positions of Director, Wing Weapons and Tactics for the 62nd Airlift Wing and Operations Officer for the 4th Air-lift Squadron, a C-141 unit. He guided the all-Air Force soccer team as a player-coach in 1999 and 2000, winning the Armed Forces championship both years. He also coached the all-Armed Services team in 1999 and 2000.

In 2001, Hill returned to the sidelines at his alma mater. He was an assistant coach from 2001-05 before earning a promotion to as-sociate head coach for the 2006 campaign. During that tenure at AFA, the Falcons were ranked as high as 19th in the country during the 2001 campaign and he helped Marcus Sagastume earn MPSF Co-Player of the Year

honors in `03.

Hill, who has over 2,800 flying hours to his credit, holds a master’s degree in sports ad-ministration from the University of Northern Colorado and retired from the Air Force in April of 2006 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

A native of Fleetwood, Pa., Hill, 55, lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Kathy, and their two sons, Luke (16) and Greg (14).

Assistant Coaches

Chris Foster

Assistant Coach10th Season

Chris Foster enters his 10th season as a member of the coaching staff and sixth as a full-time assistant coach in 2015. Foster, who recently retired from the Air Force, is a 1989 graduate of the Acad-emy with a degree in engineering mechanics. He also earned an MBA and a master of military operational arts and science; was a distinguished graduate of both Squadron Officers School and the Air Command and Staff College; and is a graduate of Air War College.

A four-year starter for Air Force, Foster is No. 2 on AFA’s career list for points (139) and goals (54) and the program’s career as-sist leader (31). He was a four-time all-conference selection, three-time all-region selection, earned All-America honors in 1988, and represented the West in the College Senior Bowl. At graduation, he was the first soccer player to receive the USAFA Male Athlete of the Year award. He was a member of the 1989 University Games Team, played on the U.S. National “B” Team (1988-90) and represented the United States on the Senior Division National Team.

Following graduation, Foster was stationed at the Academy as an in-structor and assistant soccer coach and played professionally for the Colorado Foxes in the APSL’s inaugural season. He attended under-graduate pilot training at Williams AFB, Ariz., where he was awarded the Daedalian Trophy for flying excellence, and was stationed at Holloman AFB, N.M., where he played for the New Mexico Chiles in the USISL.

Foster has been stationed at Bitburg and Spangdahlem AB, Germa-ny; Tyndall and Eglin AFB, Fla.; RAF Valley, Wales; Langley AFB, Va., and NAS Keflavik, Iceland. He is a command pilot with over 1,500 hours in the F-15C, including over 250 combat hours. Prior to his retirement, he was the 306 FTG Liaison to the Academy and an in-structor pilot at the Academy airfield.

Foster is the father of two children, Christopher (19) and Kylie (12).

Kevin Doyle

Assistant CoachFourth Season

Kevin Doyle enters his fourth season with the Falcons in 2015. Doyle joined the Academy staff after spending three years as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech.

Prior to coaching at Virginia Tech, Doyle was the top assistant at Creighton University from 2001-2006, overseeing the recruiting process along with training goalkeepers and the team defense. The Creighton goalkeeping corps and defense ranked in the national top-25 in goals against average in two of his final three years with the program. During his stint with the Blue Jays, the team made the NCAA tournament each year, including three quarterfinals and a place in the 2002 College Cup.

2015 Air Force men’s Soccer • The WAC

After spending 14 years playing in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, the Falcons rejoined the Western Athletic Conference prior to the 2013 season. Air Force was a mem-ber of the WAC from 1996-98 before breaking off with seven other schools to form the Mountain West Conference. The MWC did not offer men’s soccer, however, so the Falcons moved to the MPSF. The Falcons left the MPSF with a bang, winning their first-ever conference tournament title in 2012, defeating nationally-ranked New Mexico in a title-game shootout to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008. Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored champi-onships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single confer-ence under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in

1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew fol-lowing the 2000-01 season. In 2005, Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew. Boise State withdrew prior to the 2011-12 season. In 2012, the WAC added Denver, Seattle U, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas State. In 2013, the WAC added Bakersfield, Chicago State, Grand Canyon, Missouri-Kansas City, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley to join Idaho, New Mexico State and Seattle U. The new institutions replaced withdrawing members, Denver, Louisiana Tech, San Jose State, Utah State, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas State. The WAC’s current membership includes eight institutions upon Idaho’s withdrawal prior to the 2014-15 season. The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66. Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual cham-pions in 19 sports – nine men’s and 10 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, soc-cer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball.

2015 Air Force men’s Soccer • The Air Force Academy

The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, moti-vated to lead the United States Air Force in ser-vice to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

Course of Study Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and respon-sibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes cours-es in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineer-ing; the remainder graduate in the social sci-ences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engi-neering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engi-neering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

Faculty Composition The majority of the Academy’s faculty mem-bers, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 per-cent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educa-tional expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most acces-sible and involved faculty. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other ser-vices, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civil-ian and military lecturers also share their exper-tise with the cadets during the academic year.

Athletic Program The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and inter-collegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

Military Education and Training An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues through-out the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physi-cal training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operation-al aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, naviga-tion, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first sum-mer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an opera-tional unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall para-chute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

Nominations Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law.

History of The Academy In 1948, a board of

leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be estab-lished without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized cre-ation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission nar-rowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott select-ed a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado con-tributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

2015 Air Force men’s Soccer • Director of Athletics

Jim Knowlton joined the Air Force Academy as the director of athletics on March 22, 2015. In this capacity he oversees 27 intercollegiate var-sity sports, physical education, intramurals and all physical testing and evaluation at the Academy.

Prior to the Air Force Academy, Knowlton served as the director of athletics at Rensselaer Polytechnic In-stitute and was responsible

for overseeing the Institute’s 12 men’s and 11 women’s NCAA intercollegiate varsity teams and three junior varsity squads, involving more than 600 student-athletes, as well as intramurals.

In his time in Troy, Knowlton helped develop the strategic vision for the athletic department, implemented a new athletics branding initiative, increased two-way communication with the student-athletes, created and filled many key positions, and facilitated renovations to the Houston Field House as well as the construction of the $102M first phase of Rensselaer’s East Campus Athletic Village.

Prior to joining Rensselaer, Knowlton served as the director of the Center for Enhanced Performance at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. In that position, he led a staff of 50 professionals who deliver training for peak performance in athletics, academics, and military endeavors to cadets, soldiers, and athletes both on and off the West Point campus.

From 2003 to 2006 Knowlton served as both deputy and interim director for the athletics department at West Point, where he led a staff of more than 200 people and

supervised 25 intercollegiate ath-letic programs with more than 1,000 student-athletes. During his tenure, West Point set the stage to earn its first NCAA national championship in more than 50 years.

Knowlton re-ceived a bachelor’s degree in engineer-ing in 1982 from West Point, where he was a four-year letterwinner and captain of the var-sity hockey team. After 10 years of organizational lead-ership positions of increasing respon-sibility in the U.S.

Army, Knowlton received a master’s in civil engineering from Cornell University. He returned to West Point in 1992 to teach in the civil and mechanical engineering de-partment. He was selected to lead and manage larger and more complex organizations within the Army, ultimately leading a battalion of 750 men and women while stationed at Ft. Carson, Colo., before deploying to Iraq.

Knowlton is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. His awards and decorations include the Ranger Tab, the Air Assault Badge, and the Senior Para-chutist Badge.

2015 Air Force men’s Soccer • Athletics

Few schools in the country have an athletic pro-gram as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s.

The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leader-ship in a competitive environment and to build charac-ter. There are three divisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education.

The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are foot-ball, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheer-leading.

The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally ranked teams.

The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 19 times, which is more than any other academy.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive athletic facilities in the country. It’s a mod-ern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capac-ity of more than 9,000.

Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions.

The $4.1-million renovation to the Cadet Track Stadium, the outdoor home of the Air Force track and field team, was completed in the fall of 2011 and is one of the premier track and field facilities in the nation. The Holaday Athletic Center, a $15.5 million completely donor funded indoor training facility, was completed in July 2011. The Cadet Fitness Center is a $9.5 million, Military Construction project, home of the Air Force Academy’s fencing practice facility and aerobics/weight lifting facility that contains a nearly 33-foot climbing wall, opened in May 2012.
