Welcome to California University of Pennsylvania and another exciting season of Vulcan women’s soccer. I am confident that Coach Al Alvine, his staff and the play-ers will continue to build upon the soccer tradition and make this a year to remember. This was a year of remarkable achievements at Cal U. In the past 12 months our academic offerings have been strengthened and expanded. Our beautiful cam-pus continues to evolve, and our enrollment continues to grow. Our athletic teams have won statewide and regional titles and won our first Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer-ence’s (PSAC) Dixon Trophy for 2008-09. The Dixon Trophy is emblematic of athletic supremacy in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference—the PSAC, the premier Divi-sion II athletic conference in America today. We are very proud of our student-athletes, coaches and many indi-

viduals behind the scenes who are responsible for this magnificent accomplishment. I am particularly proud of our student-athletes who perform well not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, a total of 167 California University of Pennsylvania student athletes, representing all sports, were named to the Spring 2009 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixth-straight semester, the Cal U athletic pro-grams compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. Our athletes have put in hundreds of hours of practice, and their hard work and dedication make them winners regard-less of the score. The same can be said of the coaching staff, whose devotion to their sport and their players is an inspiration. The mission of Cal U is to build character and build careers. While the formal part of the edu-cation occurs in classrooms, laboratories, and internship sites, the other part of a college educa-tion takes place in residence halls, the Natali Student Union and in various sport venues, such as Roadman Park and Booster Field. Men’s soccer and our other athletic programs provide students with an experience that helps them to learn and to grow in ways that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Teamwork is important not only on the field, but in the boardroom, the operating room and in the classroom. Many of our alumni who were student-athletes during their time here have distinguished themselves in endeavors far re-moved from their sport, but they have carried with them the im-portant life lessons they have learned on the field and from their coaches, their teammates, and even their opponents. I hope that you enjoy the 2009 season and that you will sup-port all of these young athletes enthusiastically.

California University of Pennsylvania student-athletes posted a banner year in athletic competition during the 2008-09 season, six PSAC West titles, four PSAC crowns and four NCAA regional trophies with eight team and 15 individual ap-pearances in NCAA post-season play. In addition to athletic prowess, the Vulcans also excelled in the classroom. A total of 167 Cal U student athletes, representing all sports (fall, winter & spring), were named to the Spring 2009 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixth-straight semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. During the Spring 2009 semester, Vul-can student-athletes compiled a 3.11 GPA the highest aver-age since the Spring 2007 semester. Cal U also featured nine ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selections, highlighted by the school’s first Academ-ic All-American since 2006. To be eligible for the academic all-district honor, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative 3.20 GPA or higher, reached sophmore athletic and academ-ic standing at their institution and participated in at least 50 percent of the team’s games as a starter or an important reserve with legitimate athletic creden-tials. In the spring, women’s cross country posted the highest team GPA at 3.71 and featured all nine runners on the Honor Roll. On the men’s side, the cross country team posted top GPA of the seven sports at 3.40 with seven runners holding a 3.00 GPA or better. In terms of pure numbers during the spring, football led all 16 sports with 27 representatives on the Honor Roll, followed by women’s soccer (21) and women’s track & field (19). Women’s cross country led all programs with 100 percent of its team (nine-of-nine) on the Honor Roll. Cal U also boasted 37 student-athletes that registered a perfect 4.0 GPA during one or both of the semesters.

Alvine served as head coach of the New Hampshire Lady Phantoms of the W-League, rated as the top women’s soccer league in the country and the second-ranked league in the world. At the youth level, he has served as head coach of the under-17 girls Olympic Development Program (ODP) girl’s program in Vermont and New Hampshire, Director of Coaching for the Rutland County Soccer Club in Vermont and as a staff coach for the NH Classics, a premier soccer organization in New Hampshire. In 2006, Alvine’s U-16 NH Classics team captured the New Hampshire state championship. A 1992 graduate from Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pa., Alvine was a four-year starter and senior captain on the men’s varsity soccer team During his scholastic career at DePaul High School in Wayne, N.J., he was a four-year starter, three-year all-state selection and two-year captain. He was also a three-year member of the New Jersey ODP program and a player within the Sportfriends S.C. and Union Lancers youth organizations. Other playing experience include stints with the Staten Island Vipers of the USISL and the Brooklyn Italians of the Cosmopolitan Soccer League. Alvine holds an “A” license from the United States Soccer Federation.

HEAD COACH Al Alvine enters his third season as head coach of the California University of P e n n s y l v a n i a women’s soccer program in 2009. He continued his track record of turning programs into winners last year, as the Vulcans tied the program record for wins in a season. Last season, the Vulcans

finished with a 12-5-3 overall record and 7-5-2 mark in league play. Cal U missed qualifying for its first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Tournament by only one point. In his short time at Cal U, Alvine has mentored record-setting goalkeeper Erin Cook. Last season, she set single-season school records for goals-against average (GAA) and minutes. Cook concluded her career as the Vulcans’ all-time leader in GAA. Prior to his arrival at Cal U, Alvine served as head coach for two years at Saint Anselm College, a NCAA Division II program in Manchester, N.H. In each of two seasons with the program, he led the Hawks to 10-win campaigns after the program failed to post a winning season in six years prior to his arrival. In 2005, Saint Anselm posted an upset road victory over No. 24 College of Saint Rose before finishing the season with a 10-7-3 mark and ranking among the most improved teams in the country. The following year, Alvine guided the Hawks Anselm to a 10-7-3 record and its first post-season win in more than a decade with an upset victory against University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Alvine, a native of Wayne, N.J., started his head coaching career at Castleton State College (Vt.) in 2002. The Spartans, who had suffered nine-straight losing seasons prior to his arrival, posted a 15-5-1 mark in 2003. The following year, Alvine guided Castleton State to its best record in program history at 16-4-1 with the team ranking among the national leaders in

games (55 starts) for Cal U. During his playing career, the Vulcans compiled 45 victories and reached the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championship Game three-straight years. As a sophomore in 2004, the Vulcans qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The following year, Cal U set a school record with 14 wins. A native of Bosnia, Sabic moved to Germany in 1991 and played club soccer in Europe until his family moved to the United States in 1999. He attended Cathedral Prep in Erie, Pa., and helped lead the Ramblers to a state championship in 2001. He was a three-time, first-team all-metro and first-team all-district selection while playing at Prep. Sabic earned his undergraduate degree in business administration from Cal U in 2007 and is currently pursuing his master’s degree. He currently holds a “C” license from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) all-regional diploma.

A veteran of the California University of P e n n s y l v a n i a soccer programs, Emedin Sabic enters his third year with the women’s soccer team. Sabic previously was a four-year player for the men’s team under long-time head coach Dennis Laskey. Last season, he helped head coach Al Alvine guide the Vulcans

to one of the biggest turnarounds in the entire NCAA. A year after winning after only four games, Cal U tied the school record for wins in 2008 and were only one point shy of qualifying for its first-ever PSAC Tournament. As a player with the Vulcans, he registered 11 goals and 11 assists, while playing 82 career

HISTO

Originating in 1951 to administer and promote men’s athletics, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference has evolved into one of the NCAA’s most heralded intercollegiate conferences. The first major step came in 1977, when based on a growing interest, the league reorganized to

provide a structure for its women’s programs. Only three years later, lacking a standard competitive division, league voted to reclassify the entire conference to NCAA Division II. The most recent enhancement came during the 2008-09 academic year when the PSAC expanded for the first time in its rich history, adding full-time members Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, and associate member Long Island University-C.W. Post. The membership now consists of 16 full-time institutions and the one associate. All of the league’s full-time members are located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which makes the PSAC the largest one-state conference in the NCAA. The league has also grown to share the distinctions as: The largest conference in Division II, the largest football-playing conference in the NCAA, and, with 23, the conference that sponsors the most championships at the Division II level. Highly competitive on a regional and national level, PSAC schools annually combine to send nearly one-third of its teams into NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 42 NCAA team and 228 individual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplishments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s finest from an academic standpoint. Today, nearly one-third of the PSAC’s estimated 6,200 participants are honored each year as “Scholar-Athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC Scholar-Athletes were first recognized in the mid-1990s. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, eight league schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 118,000 students and claim over 670,000 alumni, including 430,000 who reside in Pennsylvania. The PSAC is governed by the presidents of the 16 member institutions. It employs a commissioner, two assistant commissioners and a director of media relations at its headquarters in Lock Haven, Pa.
