“I was lucky to be part of a verysuccessful Aces’ soccer program. Thecampus was part of a great communitywith students from all different back-grounds, cultures and experiences. Theprofessors and academic support weregreat, which was reflected by many ofmy teammates’ outstanding academicachievements. I am still in regular con-tact with many of the lads I played withat UE. We follow each other’s careersand support each other through thehighs and lows of life. All those thingsthat unite you in the heat of competitionin your playing days don't leave you.Whatever I may be fortunate to achievein the game and in life, my Evansvilleexperience will always be highly placedin my memories."Paul Nevin ‘91, Former Manager,New Zealand Knights FC

ow, Head Coach Mike Jacobs is rebuilding theculture and tradition of Evansville Soccer. In

2006, Jacobs’ first as head coach, the Aces producedtheir best non-conference record since 1996, andtheir best conference finish since 1999. Plus, theiroverall record was ranked as the most improved inthe nation among all Division I schools. UEdefender Kieran Purcell made the New Zealand U-20 National Team, and goalkeeper Alec Dufty wascalled in with the U.S. U-20 Team. Good things arehappening at the University of Evansville!

he University of Evansville soccer program came a longway in 2006, a direct result of Mike Jacobs taking over

the leadership of the program as head coach.The Purple Aces produced the nation’s most improved

record last season, winning seven more games than the yearbefore to finish at 9-8-0. That wasn’t all. UE in 2006 post-ed its best non-conference record (7-3-0) since 1996, and thePurple Aces' fifth place finish in the highly regardedMissouri Valley Conference was their highest since 1999.“We can look back on last season and know that our teambuilt a foundation for the future,” Jacobs says. “Now it’stime to work from that foundation and continue improving.”Jacobs impressed the entire Evansville soccer community

last year with his spirit, confidence and hard work. He cameto Evansville with knowledge of the program, having servedas an assistant coach in 2000 and 2001 for legendary coachFred Schmalz. Jacobs worked tirelessly to reach out to fansand alumni, and quickly instilled pride in his players. Heembraced the returning squad members and then added 12newcomers for the 2006 season, four of whom had DivisionI playing experience.“It’s important that we reconnect with the Evansville soccercommunity and our alumni,” Jacobs says. “We placed a bigemphasis with our players on the responsibility we have togive back to the community. We want our players to knowthat Evansville is one of the best places in the country forcollege soccer. This is truly a special place.”In the four years prior to 2006, Jacobs served as the topassistant coach at Duke University, where he helped leadcoach John Rennie’s Blue Devils to three NCAATournament appearances, including the semifinals of the2004 College Cup. The 2005 Blue Devils won the ACCChampionship. In the season before Jacobs’ arrival on theDuke campus, the Blue Devils suffered through their worstseason in school history, at 8-10-1. Jacobs was namedinaugural winner of the NSCAA National Assistant Coach of theYear award in 2004. He was listed by College Soccer News asone of the ‘Top Assistant Coaches in the Country’ four years in arow.Jacobs is a 1993 graduate of Pace University in Pleasantville,N.Y.

Atage 24, he was the youngest Division I Head Coach in the coun-try, and from 1997 to ‘99 Jacobs led the Gaels to their bestthree-year record ever. Jacobs’ professional coaching experi-ence includes assisting with the Long Island Rough Riders,where he worked with former Tampa Bay Mutiny and NewYork/New Jersey head coach Alfonso Mondelo. He also assist-ed with the North Jersey Imperials of the USISL, where hecoached current United States Under-17 National Team assistantcoach Tim Mulqueen. Through his experience as a US Soccer

t the University of Evansville, the athletic training staff ispro-active, making sure that each student-athlete is in the

best physical condition possible before competition begins. HeadTrainer Terry Collins works directly with the men’s soccer players,assisted by student trainer Kasey Wahl.“TC and his athletic training staff are a key component in ourprogram’s success,” says Head Coach Mike Jacobs. “He does agreat job in helping our players stay healthy, as well as in theirrecovery when they are injured.”A large portion of the job for Collins and his staff of certified

trainers and student trainers involves preventing injuries from everoccurring. That’s accomplished through educating athletes, pro-viding pre-season physical examinations, and proper nutrition andconditioning. When injuries do occur, UE’s trainers work closelywith Team Physician Dr. Andrew Saltzman and physical therapyprofessionals from ProRehab, PC to rehabilitate the athletes andget them back into playing shape. Care is taken to make sure thatall injuries are completely healed before athletes are allowed tocompete again.“Our responsibilities are to prevent, assess, and rehabilitate

injuries, as well as providing acute and follow-up care to athletes,”says Collins. “We have several local medical providers inEvansville who assist the training staff, also. It’s gratifying for usto help the athletes get the most out of their potential by keepingthem fit and ready to compete.”

he responsibility for strength and power development for Aces' soccerplayers belongs to Brady Holt, in his second year as the strength &

conditioning coach at UE. Holt oversees all weight room activities andconditioning programs for Evansville's 14 varsity sports.

Before arriving at UE, Holt was a member of the staff at Utah StateUniversity, where he received his master's degree in Exercise Science.While at Utah State, he worked with all of the varsity sports teamsand also designed strength, conditioning, and speed programs for var-

ious squads. He earned his undergraduate degree from theUniversity of Texas in 2000, and was a member of the UTstrength and conditioning staff in 2002 and 2003. He is also aCertified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)."Brady has done a tremendous job in getting our playersenthusiastic about working out in the weight room," accordingto Head Coach Mike Jacobs, “and the strides we have made asa team in that area are a big reason for our improvement onthe field as well.”Adds Holt, “The two main goals of the strength program hereat UE are injury prevention and the development of athleti-cism. This is accomplished with balanced training programsthat emphasize movements instead of training body parts.Additional emphasis is placed on technique, which involvesexecuting each movement in the most mechanically efficientway. With efficient movement and good technique, the likeli-hood of injury is greatly reduced and performance is dramat-ically enhanced.”

eading into his first season as the man in charge at the University of Evansville, in2006, Head Coach Mike Jacobs stated: “We’re here to rebuild the culture and tra-

dition of Aces Soccer. We have three stages in building the program. The first is toplay competitively on a consistent basis. The second is to win consistently, and thethird is to win championships consistently.”It didn’t take Coach Jacobs and his Purple Aces long to achieve the first goal. TheAces’ 7-3 non-conference record was their best since 1996, their fifth place finish in theMissouri Valley Conference was their best since 1999, and the result of UE’s competi-tive play on a consistent basis was the most improved record in the nation at 9-8-0. Part II of Coach Jacobs' building project is to win consistently, and that’s the goal forthe Aces beginning in 2007. “Winning is habitual,” said Jacobs. “This past season was an encouraging step in build-ing a foundation of success, and our challenge now is to take the next step in expecting tobe successful. You do that by placing a priority in working hard on both sides of the balland buying into the idea of being a part of something bigger than themselves. This 2007team has the potential to have those characteristics.” They have a strong nucleus to get it done, beginning with 14 players who saw action

in 2006. The Aces’ high-powered offense is led by a returning core that was among thenation’s top 30 in scoring in 2006. Heading that group is senior midfielder/forwardCoryElenio,whoearnedNSCAAAll-MidwestRegionhonors last fall after finishing second in the Missouri Valley Conference in points (20)and goals scored (8). Another key attacking threat is senior midfielder Dustin Awe,who led the Missouri Valley Conference and finished 10th nationally in assists withnine. He was chosen as the Aces’ Overall Most Valuable Player. Other key returningattacking threats include Ian McAuley (8-2-18) and Tom Irvin (5-6-16). McAuley isa fifth-year senior who returns after doubling his career scoring output in just one sea-son. Irvin led all MVC newcomers in scoring last fall, and was an obvious choice forthe MVC All-Freshman Team.Another attacking player who saw action in 2006 was sophomore Stephan Minyono,who, like Irvin, gives the Aces additional size and skill up front. Incoming freshmenMike Luttrull and Ryan Moll, as well as University of Kentucky transfer Jordan

Beshears, expect to make contributions to the Aces’ attack.The midfield also has a solid returning unit led by Awe and sophomore Reggie

Edu. Edu started all 17 matches last season, and is being counted on as a play-maker in the middle of the field. Incoming freshman Robby Lynch, the 2006Gatorade Indiana State Player of the Year and NSCAA High School All-American, is also expected to be a key contributor in the midfield. Dan Gibson,Sam Bornstein, Tyler Hoek and Ben Harner all gave the Aces excellent depthin the middle of the pitch last season. Moll and Minyono will also be looked at tocontribute in the midfield.Kieran Purcell returns to lead the team’s defense after starting all 17 matches

as a freshman. In fact, Purcell won the Aces’ Ironman Award for playing the mostminutes on the squad. The experience that Purcell gained representing his nativeNew Zealand in this summer’s Under-20 World Championships will prove valu-able for the Aces. Senior Erik Johnson and Bornstein will compete for playingtime in the back after solid performances this past spring, and both have the versa-tility to help the team in the midfield. A lot will be expected of junior KippErskine, who transferred from Hartwick College in January. Erskine is a leaderwho brings valuable collegiate experience to the center back role. NewcomersAlly Mackay, Austin Eanes, Mitch Mansfield and Austin Schall are also very

capable of con-tributing.The last line of

defense has plentyof experience ingoalkeepers AlecDufty and CoreySouthers. Dufty

earned the co-Most Valuable Defender award last season as a sophomore and wasselected to the All-Missouri Valley Conference team. Dufty was also called in bythe United States Under-20 National Team this past year. Southers played in eightmatches last season with four starts, and brings nearly 4,000 minutes of collegiateexperience into his senior year.“A returning nucleus of players who understand our system and understand our

In the 11 years of Aces’ soccer leading up to 1985, no Evansville teamhad ever scored more than 57 goals. That record fell in mid-seasonin 1985, when the Aces scored an incredible 93 goals on their way toa number one national ranking, a berth in the NCAA Final Four(now termed ‘College Cup’) and a final record of 21-1-2. DanMcHugh’s 16 goals and school record 22 assists led the way. Threeplayers made the NSCAA All-American Team–McHugh, defenderMike Mikes, and midfielder Andrew Norton. UE had so much depthand talent in 1985 that none of the All-Americans earned the teamMVP award. That honor went to sophomore midfielder Mick Lyon.

While offense carried Evansville to its Final Four appearance in1985, defense was the major factor in UE’s amazing run in 1990that included 20 consecutive victories, six straight shutouts, andNCAA Tournament wins over Boston University and Indianawhich carried the Purple Aces to the NCAA Final Four in Tampa,Fla. Led by All-Americans Scott Cannon (defender), TreyHarrington (goalkeeper) and David Weir (forward), the 1990 Acesset two NCAA Division I records–most wins in a season (24) andmost shutouts (20). In 27 matches, the Aces allowed a grand totalof seven goals on their way to posting a record of 24-1-2.

Nation’s Best1989 National Player Of The YearFred Schmalz knew he had a great talentwhen Rob Paterson transferred in 1988 to theUniversity of Evansville from Cal-San Diego,where he led the Tritons to third place in theNCAA Division III tournament. Schmalz foundout just how good in 1988, when the Division Irookie led the Aces in scoring with 15 goals andfour assists for 34 points. That was just thestart. As a senior in 1989, Paterson led the nation ingoals scored and set the UE record that stillexists today when he scored 27 goals. His 61total points and 11 game-winning goals that sea-son are also the best in school history.Paterson’s scoring total, combined withEvansville’s 19-4 record and number sevennational ranking, led Paterson to being selectedas a first team All-American. Soon afterward,he became the Aces’ first national player of theyear when he was selected as recipient of theAdi Dassler Memorial Award, presented eachyear by adidas-USA to the nation’s most out-standing player.

Rob Paterson

David Weir1990 National Scoring LeaderWhen he came to UE from Scotland in 1987,

a pro career looked like no more than a dreamfor young David Weir. He was big, but not fastor strong, and he missed part of his freshmanyear with appendicitis. Recruited as a centraldefender, he was moved to forward as a sopho-more by coach Fred Schmalz, and the stronger,faster Weir responded with 11 goals in 1989.He followed with one of the best years in Aces’history in 1990 when he led UE to a numberone national ranking and a berth in the NCAAFinal Four by scoring 24 goals and making 11assists for 59 points, the second highest total inAces’ history. Weir was the MCC Player of theYear, the NCAA Division I national leader ingoals scored, and a first team All-American.Weir became the first American collegiateplayer to compete for a European team in theWorld Cup when he made Scotland’s team in1997. At age 37, he continues to compete at thehighest levels in Europe for the GlasgowRangers, and is considered one of Scotland’sbest and most popular players of the currentgeneration.
