The Bulldogs are looking ahead to a new year filled with both new and old. With 11 returning play-ers and seven fresh faces, sec-ond- year head coach Bob Winch hopes to build upon the momen-tum from the 2006 season. Af-ter losing only two seniors, Holli Knox and Kelly Hasselman, the Bulldogs will have experience and depth on their side.

The Bulldogs will return with the all-time leader in saves with 275, senior Brit-ni Bunnell, and sophomore Emily Green. Green played in 13 games while starting seven and earned the low-est all-time and single sea-son goals against average, 2.60. Adding to the depth in the goalkeeper posi-tion will be freshman Lisa Wilson, a former Georgia AAAA Player of the Year. Coach Winch is looking for all three players to compete for playing time and is ex-cited to see who will step up.

“We will be looking to im-prove our communication skills this season and that begins with the goalkeep-er,” said Winch. “It is im-perative that she directs the team because she is the only one that has a full vi-sion of the field and can be the eyes for her teammates.”

With three returning starters, the defense will bring a wealth of experience in the backfield. Se-nior Aly Woodhead, junior Em-ily Haller, and sophomore Kris-tine Devine will man the defense. Woodhead, a 2007 captain, has competed in all 57 games of her collegiate career and has started

in all but two. Haller and Devine will be expected to continue their hard-nose defensive skills that only allowed 29 goals last season, an all time low. Newcomer Jes-sica Stewart will add to the Bull-dogs defense and may see some playing time in the midfield.

The mid-field will be an important component in this year’s forma-tion, and the Bulldogs have a lot

of talent to fill the midfield roles. Senior Ana Miranda will return to lead the midfield after playing in all 20 contests during the 2006 campaign. Dianna Martin will be called upon for her quickness of play and ball distribution skills. Laura Curran and freshman Jes-sa Scott, a three-time All-Con-ference selection in high school, round out the midfield and add considerable depth.

The Bulldog offense will be packed with talent from those returning and the newcomers. Leading the way will be sophomore Rachelle Ornelas, who in 2006 became the first Bulldog to earn second-team All-Conference honors while ranking third in the SoCon in goals with seven. ViVi Brown re-turns after playing in all 20 games last season and registering six shots on goal. There will be a lot

of youth coming from the forwards, as the Bulldogs will expect Liza Akesson, Dominic Snyder and Nicole Martinoli to contribute in the team’s attack. Junior transfer Nikki Mares will be a fresh face but is no rookie. She led her junior college to the Bay Valley Conference Championship and a perfect 23-0 season.

“We have a very talented team this year and every position is wide open,” said Winch. “I want to emphasize competition within the team to prepare the girls for the fierce competition we will be up against this season. The players will earn their spot and will have to continue to work hard to keep it.”

In addition to a very com-petitive Southern Confer-ence, the Bulldogs will have

their hands full with non-con-ference games. They will travel to North Carolina to play UNC Charlotte, the 2006 Atlantic 10 champions, marking the first ever meeting between The Bulldogs and the 49ers. Jacksonville State, Coastal Carolina, who placed sec-ond in the Big South in 2006, and Presbyterian College will add to their challenging non-conference games.

Bob Winch enters his second season as head coach of the Bulldogs after making major strides in the 2006 season. He led the Bull-dogs to their first conference tie against UT Chattanooga and tied cross-town rival Charleston Southern.

Winch, a UNC Pembroke graduate, recently completed a one-year stint as an assistant with Auburn’s women’s soccer program. The Tigers finished second in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference last season and made it to the championship game of the SEC Tournament to clinch second place behind nationally ranked Tennessee. Winch also helped coach four 2005 SEC-All Tournament selections, including the tournament most valuable player. Winch began his collegiate coaching career at Clemson University where he was a men’s assistant coach from 1990-1992.

Before joining the staff at Auburn, Winch served as the men’s head soccer coach at the University of Central Florida from 1993-2004. He led the team to three consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournament titles, while also making an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for three consecutive seasons. Winch was also named the 2004 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year.

Winch graduated from UNC Pembroke in 1986 and was a mem-ber of the soccer team of which he was named team captain from 1983 - 1984. He went on to pursue a post-graduate edu-cation, receiving a Master’s degree in education from Slippery Rock University in 1988.

Winch is married to Janet Winch and the couple has three chil-dren, Sara (12), Nicholas (11) and Hayden (9).

Kelly Simpson enters her fourth year as the Senior Woman Administrator for The Citadel athletic department and her sixth on The Citadel campus. As the SWA, she oversees The Citadel’s seven women’s sports programs in the areas of game management, academic advising and compliance.

She is an active member of the SoCon Cross Country and Track and Field Committee and the SoCon Graduate Scholarship Com-mittee and also serves on various campus committees.

Prior to coming to the athletic department, Simpson spent one year as an admissions counselor in The Citadel’s office of admis-sions. Before that, she spent a year and a half in the Department of Health Exercise and Sport Science where she served as Director of Intramurals and a facility manager for Deas Hall. The past five years, Simpson has also served as an Adjuct Professor in the HESS Department.

A native of Weaverville, N.C., Simpson attended Clemson University where she earned her bachelor’s degree in sport management in 1999. She earned an M.S. in the same discipline from Clemson in 2001.

At a school where leadership is taught and duty is part of the curriculum, The Citadel has the right person to lead its Department of Athletics in Les Robinson. A virtual Who’s Who in intercollegiate athletics and one of the region’s most sought-after speakers, Robinson is in his seventh year as the Bulldogs’ Director of Athletics.

Possessing more than four decades of college athletic experience to his credit, Robinson, who also served as athletics director and basketball coach at North Carolina State and East Tennessee State, is only the fifth athletics director in Citadel history. He served as the Bulldogs’ basketball coach from 1974-85, having spent the five previous seasons as an assistant coach.

In his first six years leading The Citadel’s athletics program, Robinson’s skills as a proven fund-raiser have already benefited The Citadel Brigadier Foundation. Robinson has been faced with having to hire three football coaches during his tenure. The process in which he hired Ellis Johnson, John Zernhelt and current coach Kevin Higgins , featured a coast-to-coast whirlwind tours of the entire Citadel family, and was received extremely well. He was successful in getting numerous people to talk about Citadel football months in advance. He recently hired basketball coach Ed Conroy, and administratively, has realigned the Athletics Department’s administration.

During Robinson’s tenure, the school witnessed the opening of the Altman Athletic Center at Johnson Hagood Stadium and the addition to McAlister Field House for women’s athletics. He hired the school’s first senior woman administrator, taken measures to revamp totally the department’s weight room, and is personally spearheading the football stadium project. The stadium project has entered the forefront in The Citadel Athletics community as the West Side stands have been torn down and rebuilding expected to be complete in August.

The Citadel, under Robinson’s guidance, has hosted the Southern Conference cross-country championships, the first two rounds of the women’s basketball championships, the men and women’s tennis championships and the baseball tournament.

A 1965 graduate of N.C. State, Robinson served five years as a Bulldog assistant coach under Dick Campbell and George Hill, and eventually spent 11 seasons as The Citadel’s head basketball coach from 1974-85. He directed the 1978-79 and 1984-85 teams to 20 and 18 victories, respectively. Robinson was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year in 1979 and was tabbed South Carolina’s Coach of the Year in 1979 and 1985.

Robinson earned a bachelor of science degree in education and recreation from N.C. State in 1965. The Robinson’s, who have maintained a home on Sullivan’s Island since coaching at The Ctiadel, have four children: Greg, Robby, Kelly and Barbara; and eight grandchildren: L.G. Robinson, Savannah Graves, Lily Graves, James Graham Boyd, Hugh Bissell Graves, Mary Emma Graves, Charles Simon Boyd and Samuel Robinson Boyd.

S o u t h C a r o l i n a C o r p s o f C a d e t s2006 in Review

The Citadel women’s soccer team made notable improvements in 2006 at the helm of first-year head coach Bob Winch. The Bulldogs preserved their perfect record against S.C. State, tied cross-town rival Charleston Southern, and battled two Southern Conference foes to overtime. Women’s soccer has made major strides since the inaugural 2001 season and the club is excited to see what the future of the program holds.

The Bulldogs preserved a perfect 6-0 record over S.C. State (9/12) with a 3-0 victory. A pair of freshmen helped lead The Citadel to their first win of 2006 as Dianna Martin notched what proved to be the game-winner and Rachelle Ornelas tacked on a couple of insurance scores. Both freshmen enjoyed their first collegiate goals in the contest.

The Dogs then hosted Francis Marion and Youngstown State in The Citadel adidas Soccer Classic (9/15-17). The Bulldogs played two extremely close con-tests, but could not come up with a win. Senior Holli Knox and Ornelas both put The Cita-del on the board, while Ornelas also recorded her first collegiate assist against Youngstown State. Her performance against S.C. State and YSU earned her Player of the Week accolades, only the second women’s soccer player in school history to receive such an honor. On the week, Orne-las tallied seven points on three goals and one assist.

After the tournament, The Cita-del went on to battle Charleston Southern (9/20) to a 1-1 double overtime draw after falling 5-1 to the cross-town rivals in their first ever meeting in 2005. The Dogs also came extremely close to a Southern Conference vic-tory as they took two conference foes to overtime. The Citadel battled Wofford (10/6) and Chattanooga (10/25) to two over-times at WLI Field. The Terriers escaped with a 2-1 win, while the Dogs and Mocs ended in a 1-1 tie.

“I feel our entire group learned a great deal this season,” said head coach Bob Winch. “We played in some games that we were very competitive in and some others that we were not so competitive in. We need to work hard every day in improving our level of play and conditioning from Oct. 30th, 2006 to Aug. 28th, 2007 if we are too compete with the higher level teams.”

The most noticeable improvements were made from a defensive

standpoint as the 2006 squad allowed the fewest goals of any Citadel women’s soccer team. Junior Brit Bunnell and fresh-man Emily Green made a combined 70 stops in front of the net, while only allowing 64 to get through. The defense only allowed 29 goals to SoCon opponents, by far the best of any Citadel club as the previous low was 48 set in 2005. Defenders Kristine Devine, Maggie Bryan, Aly Woodhead and Emily Haller made it difficult for opposing teams to get to the net, and all four will return to defend the posts next season.

Keeper Bunnell became the all-time leader in saves at The Cita-del, finishing the season with 232 career stops. The previous record of 226 was held by Angie Ellenwood who played for the

Bulldogs from 2002-2005.

Bunnell is not the only Bull-dog leaving her mark on The Citadel’s record books. Ornelas was already setting records as a freshman. With seven goals on the season, Ornelas led the Bulldogs in scoring while tying Lauren Merchant and Kelly Pes-terfield in single-season scores. Her seven goals were also enough to tie her for third in the SoCon. The freshman forward was also the first-ever women’s soccer player from The Citadel to receive All-SoCon accolades as she was named to the All-So-Con second team, as voted on by the league’s coaches.

The Dogs did graduate two se-niors as Holli Knox and Kelly Hasselman were recognized for their hard work and dedication to such a young soccer program. Both players helped lay a foun-dation for future players to capi-talize on.

The Citadel returns eight start-ers next year, including sopho-

more Sarah Burke, who led the team in scoring her freshman season in 2005 and notched a team-high two assists this year. The Dogs will have four seniors to lead the squad in 2007 and Winch is hopeful about the fresh talent that he can recruit to The Citadel.

“Our focus now will be on improving the student-athletes that are here now and recruiting more student-athletes to The Cita-del,” commented Winch.

The Citadel vs. All Opponents

The Southern Conference, which began its 87th season of intercollegiate com-petition in 2007, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Champion-ship Subdivision conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State has won the last two Football Championship Subdivision titles. The Confer-ence currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradi-tion. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship win-ners have been selected from conference institutions.

The Southern Conference office is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

25th Anniversary of Women’s ChampionshipsThe Southern Conference will celebrate 25 years of women’s championships in 2007-08. A year-long celebration of women’s sports will highlight student-athletes, coaches and teams. Commissioner Ken Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commission-er, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The league crowns champions in nine women’s sports including cross country, soccer, volleyball, indoor track & field, basketball, tennis, golf, outdoor track & field and softball.

Membership HistoryThe Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. as 14 institutions from the 30-mem-ber Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorga-nized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools - Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. VMI became a member in 1925 and Duke was added 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has un-dergone two major transitions during its history.

The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed from the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the exten-sive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership.

The second major shift came about in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland,

North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest with-drew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Ten-nessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Fur-man, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. On July 1, 2008, Samford will officially join the league, brining mem-bership of the conference to 12.

LeadershipJohn Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on Janu-ary 2, 2006. Previously, Iamarino served as commissioner of the Northeast Conference. In nine years with the New Jersey-based league, Iamarino promot-ed the conference through an ambitious agenda which improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions.

The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C. to Asheville, N.C.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ lead-ership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basket-ball Tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the cur-rent SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001.

Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C. to historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leader-

ship, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship HistoryThe first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tourna-ment held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soc-cer in the fall of 1994.

The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soc-cer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

Soccer Programs

This is The Citadel...The Citadel is a state-supported comprehensive military col-lege with the mission of educating principled leaders through its Corps of Cadets. Males and females are admitted to the undergraduate residential Corps of Cadets. In addition to the day program, undergraduate and graduate programs are of-fered through the College of Graduate Studies (CGPS) in the evening.

The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education recog-nizes The Citadel as the only specialized four-year college in the state. The Citadel, founded in 1842, is a co-educational military college with a rich and storied history. Located in Charleston, S.C., the institution offers a classic military edu-cation for young men and women who seek a college expe-rience that is intense, meaningful and academically strong. Citadel graduates say that the disciplined lifestyle and friend-ships they forged here have a profoundly positive effect on their lives.

With an enrollment of more than 1,900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest military college program outside the ser-vice academies. All cadets are educated within a classic mili-tary system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates attend

graduate school or enter the job market. The College of Graduate and Professional Studies, which is noted for Citadel excellence in a civilian environment, serves about 1,200 residents of South Carolina’s Lowcountry.

Academic programs at the college are complimented by a strong commitment to service and em-phatic support of an honor code that calls upon a cadet not to lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel’s emphasis on character, as well as intellect, has produced generations of gradu-ates who have served their na-tion, their professions and their communities with distinction.

Corps of Cadets ...All students at The Citadel are cadets in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, which numbers approxi-mately 1,900 and represent nearly every state, as well as more than 20 countries. While roughly 40 per-cent of the graduates each year go into the armed services, all cadets participate in an ROTC program. On most days, cadets have physical fitness training and military instruction in addition to their regular college classes. Weekdays end with a formation and required evening study period.

Because The Citadel emphasizes corps uni-ty, cadets cannot be married and all must live on campus in the barracks with their assigned company. Despite the challeng-es, cadets value their first year for the les-sons in teamwork, self-discipline and time management. The disciplined lifestyle that begins in the knob year binds cadets into a lifelong, close-knit camaraderie that is one of the strongest forces in their lives after graduation.

Academic Programs...Because of the strength of the academic program, The Citadel has repeatedly been rated as a top regional institution in the annual rankings issued by U.S. News and World Report. The quality of the education at The Citadel combined with the availabil-ity of financial aid, the credentials of the

This is The Citadel...

faculty and the graduation rate earned the institution the cita-tion of Best College Value in the South in 1999. With an average of 75 percent of its students return-ing each year, The Citadel enjoys one of the best retention records in the country. The Citadel’s 14 academic departments offer five bachelor’s degrees in 17 areas, six master’s degrees in 17 areas, and specialist degrees in two areas.

College of Graduate & Pro-fessional Studies...The Citadel’s evening college serves the Lowcountry by offering nation-ally accredited bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees scheduled around the student’s profession, family and lifestyle. It is the well-known Citadel academic excellence in a civilian environment. The CGPS offers 20 graduate programs with concentrations in education, psychology, computer science and business. The Master of Business Administration program is the only nationally accredited MBA program in the Lowcountry region

of South Carolina. The CGPS also offers three under-graduate evening programs in business and engineer-ing. The Citadel is the only college in South Carolina that offers an undergraduate civil and electrical engi-neering degree in the evening.

Alumni...Generations of Citadel graduates have served their nation, their state and their community with dis-tinction. The Citadel graduates men and women with alert minds and sound bodies, who value honor, integrity, loyalty and patriotism, and who accept the responsibilities that accompany leader-ship. The Citadel remains a stronghold of duty, self-discipline, and high ideals in a changing American society.

This is The Citadel...

Points of Pride...Citadel Athletes Maintain Academic Excellence...

The Citadel graduation rate for all cadet-student-athletes who complete four years of eligibility ranges from 93 percent to 96 percent. The Citadel’s student-athletes consistently rank among the upper echelon of the Southern Conference. The football program has a graduation rate of 96 percent, which is among the top

graduation rates in the nation.

The Citadel Earns U.S.News Rankings...The U.S. News and World Report rankings for 2007 recognize The Citadel in several different categories: the college ranks No. 3 for top public universities in the South offering up to a master’s degree; for the seventh straight year, The Citadel School of Engineering has ranked among the top 50 undergraduate engineering pro-grams in the nation, earning this year’s No. 32 ranking; The Citadel ranked No. 7 for best master’s universities

in the South.

Fulbright Scholars...Six cadets have received Fulbright Scholarships to study abroad since 2001. That is a larger number than any

other college or university in South Carolina during this period.

Diversified Student Population...The Citadel has over 1,900 cadets from 46 states and 22 foreign countries.

Family For Life...Becoming a part of The Citadel football program means joining the Bulldog family for life. The Citadel football family is full of successful alumni in every walk of life that are a proud part of supporting our athletes through-

out their career at The Citadel and their life.

Individual Development...The coaching staff works with every player on an individual basis to develop and improve his football skills. Each cadet-student-athlete enjoys an academic support system, which is designed to encourage responsibility and enthusiasm for learning. It is a system that emphasizes The Citadel’s commitment to education, gradua-

tion and community involvement.

The Perfect Balance: Academics & Athletics...The Citadel is one of the most prestigious universities in the country and offers more than 21 major programs of study. The Citadel is an institution committed to rich academics and intellectual diversity, while also a member

of the NCAA Division I Southern Conference.

Leads State in Graduating Athletes...Among South Carolina’s public colleges and universities, The Citadel has the highest four-year graduation rate

for athletes.

The Citadel Earns No. 1 Ranking...The Citadel ranks No. 1 nationally in its peer group of public colleges in the percentage of students who gradu-ate in four years. The Citadel’s top ranking comes from the U.S. Department of Education’s comparison of all public colleges whose entering students have average SAT scores between 1000 and 1200. The Citadel’s four-

year graduation rate is 59.7 percent. The national average four-year graduation rate is 29 percent.

Leader in Female Athletics...The Citadel is a national leader in the percentage of female students who are athletes. More than 50 percent of its female cadets compete on seven varsity teams, an outstanding achievement given the fact that female

athletics started in 1997.

CampusThe Citadel sits on a 300-acre tract of land on the Ashley River. There are 28 buildings grouped around a large (10-acre) grass pa-rade ground. The buildings around the parade ground include 10 classroom buildings, an administrative building, four barracks, a student activities building, infirmary, chapel, a field house, and library. Just off the main campus are the football stadium, base-ball stadium and alumni center.
