APTLy named Alumni StAdium for the outpouring of financial sup-
port from Thiel College alumni, the facility – which opened with the
Tomcats’ first game of the 2001 season against Capital University – was
officially dedicated during Homecoming weekend on Saturday, Sept. 29,
2001. Alumni Stadium envelops Stoeber Field, named after legendary
Thiel coach John b. “JAck” Stoeber.
The stadium features a red brick entrance and ticket booth area, wrought
iron fencing surrounding the stadium, a hospitality center which houses a
memorabilia shop and a concession stand, seating for 1,400 and a
FieldTurf synthetic turf system.
The stadium is also home to the Victory bell (pictured middle left),
which was originally part of Ridgeway Hall, a farmhouse that was bought
by the college in 1876 and enlarged in 1881 to be used as a dining hall.
The bell was used to call students to meals and later to announce athlet-
ic victories. After Ridgeway Hall was razed in 1955, the bell was placed
on its own stand near where it had been as part of Ridgeway Hall until
the mid-1970s, when it was moved to the Passavant Center, where it was
used to call students to worship.
As Thiel’s athletic programs continue to grow and evolve, the demands
on the College’s sports facilities also grow. Installation of a multi-sport air
structure over Stoeber Field during winter months will ease the pressure
on the use of our current facilities and keep our sports teams practicing
and our intramural programs having fun all year round!

1892 Thiel College participates in its first
intercollegiate football game by taking on Grove
City College on Thanksgiving Day. Thiel loses the
game 48-0.
1893 Thiel, known then as the "Huskies,”
picks up its first-ever intercollegiate win with a 6-
0 victory over Allegheny College. The Huskies
have a Thanksgiving Day rematch with Grove
City, but unfortunately lose to their Mercer
County rival 28-0.
1894 Thiel has its first winning season under
Coach Hildum. The Huskies win four and lose
three, including an 86-0 thrashing of Fredonia
Institute. The 86 points are still an all-time Thiel
record.
1898 Led by player-coach J. Miller Hilbish, the
Huskies set a record for wins in a season with
five. Hilbish teaches the players to know their
positions, run interference and use trick plays
against more talented teams.
1899 The Huskies are refit with moleskin
cloth suits and other articles by businessmen of
Greenville. Thiel also joins the Intercollegiate
Athletic League (IAL), along with Westminster
College, Geneva College and Allegheny. Thiel
finished third in the IAL that year.
1902 On Sept. 23, the Thiel faculty issues its
Football Manifesto, which prohibits the playing of
football at Thiel. In reply, some students gather
on a roof and sing, "In Heaven above where all is
love/There will be no faculty there."
1911 The Football Manifesto is lifted and foot-
ball resumes at Thiel. Led by co-coaches Nathan
Harter (for whom Harter Hall is named) and
Asher F. Shupp, the Huskies finish the season 1-1.
A loss to Grove City and a win against Edinboro
highlights the second coming of the “first season
of Thiel football”.
1916 Loyal Thiel students walk a 55-mile
distance to Beaver Falls to see Thiel play Geneva
to a 0-0 tie. The students travel as far as
Ellwood City on Friday and finish their journey
Saturday morning.
1918 The Thiel football team, led by Coach
Herbert "Hub" Lynch, plays only one game, a 27-
0 loss to Grove City, before dropping the rest of
the schedule due to World War I.
1924 Head Coach Tommy Holleran takes theHuskies to Pittsburgh to face Carnegie Tech. Thielis defeated 22-0, but puts up such a fight thatWally Steffen, head coach of Carnegie Tech, saysthat the team "played like Wildcats." This leadsMelvin A. Blair, sports editor of the GreenvilleRecord-Argus, to report that "they played likeTom's Cats." The name sticks and the athleticteams at Thiel are known as the Tomcats fromthen on.
1932 John B. Stoeber takes over the head
coaching reins of the Tomcats. Although Thiel
ends the season 3-6 in his first year, Stoeber
remains the head coach until 1955, compiling a
Thiel-record 75 wins in his 19 seasons.
1941 The Tomcats post their first undefeated
season in school history with a 7-0 record. Thiel
dominates their opponents by posting six
shutouts and allowing only seven points the
entire season.
1942-45 Football is halted for the duration of
World War II. It is the first gridiron stoppage at
Thiel since 1918.
1946 The Tomcats pick up where they left off
in 1941 by posting their second-straight 7-0 sea-
son. Although the Tomcats allow more than seven
points, they still record three shutouts, including
a 2-0 win over Slippery Rock State College.
1950 Thiel rolls to their third perfect season
in school history. The Tomcats finish at 7-0 with
five shutouts while outscoring their opponents
206-13. During the season they set the modern
single game scoring record with 61 points against
Lycoming College.
1955 Joe DiFebo, captain of Stoeber's 1941
team, takes over as Thiel's new head coach.
DiFebo carries on the winning tradition with a 6-
1 record.
1958 Thiel joins the Presidents' Athletic
Conference in the fall of 1958, along with
Allegheny College, Washington & Jefferson
College and Bethany College.
1967 The Tomcats win their first PAC title
with a perfect 6-0 conference mark under
second-year head coach Jim McCullough.
1972 McCullough leads the Tomcats to their
second PAC football title with a 6-1 conference
record.
1981 In their win against Case Western
Reserve University on Sept. 26, the Tomcats set
PAC records with 451 yards of rushing and 676
yards of total offense.
1991 First-year head coach Charlie Giangrosso
leads the Tomcats to their first winning season
since 1979 with a 5-4 record.
1999 The Tomcat football team makes its first
international appearance, traveling to Munich,
Germany. Thiel returns to the U.S. victorious
over the Landsbert Express semi-pro team.
2000 Former player and coach Howard
Weyers ‘56 and wife Kay announce lead pledge
to launch the campaign to raise funds for the
construction of Alumni Stadium.
2001 The Tomcats open Alumni Stadium at
Stoeber Field, bringing Thiel football to campus
after decades of playing on nearby Stewart Field.
2004 Thiel Football celebrates its 100th sea-
son as the Tomcats travel to Canada and defeat
the University of Toronto at Lamport Stadium.
The team finished with a 7-3 overall record and
second in the PAC with a 4-1 mark. The Tomcats’
last seven-win season was in 1972 (7-2) when
Thiel recorded its second PAC championship.
2005 Under the direction of fifth-year head
coach Jack Leipheimer, the Tomcats post an
unblemished 10-0 regular season mark, win the
PAC title for the first time since 1972 and make
the program’s first-ever NCAA Division III playoff
appearance. After posting a 28-3 home victory
over Johns Hopkins University in the opening
round of the Division III playoffs the Tomcats
suffer a 24-13 loss at Alumni Stadium to
Bridgewater College in the second round to
finish the year with an 11-1 record.

thiel colleGe, initially focused on ministry for the EvangelicalLutheran Church in America, was founded as Thiel Hall in Monaca,
Pa., in 1866 and chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1870.In 1871 the college moved to Greenville where it has remained ever since.The first football game was played against Grove City College in 1892.
The years from 1902-1910 are referred to in Thiel College history as the“Football Manifesto”. There are some differing accounts as to why Thielstopped playing football for this eight year period - but the most accuratehistory is probably found in The History of Thiel College, 1866-1974.Reportedly, a faculty manifesto was passed declaring football “too violent”,causing the students to refer to these years as the Football Manifesto.
The faculty relented in 1910 after eight years of student protest and in1911 Thiel fielded a football team for two games, one versus Grove CityCollege and one versus Edinboro College (now Edinboro University). Thesecond period of time when Thiel did not have a football team was from1942-1945, during the United State’s participation in World War II.
In the 103 seasons of Thiel’s football history, many important events andfirsts have occurred. For example, the first football game designated a“Homecoming game” was in 1915 on Thanksgiving weekend versus HiramCollege. The Tomcats prevailed 28-13 and afterwards a banquet was held
with entertainment by the college orchestra. Other milestones include:the first Thiel win: 1893 vs. Allegheny, 4-0; the 100th Thiel win: 1936 vs.Allegheny, 6-0; and the 300th Thiel win: 2001 vs. Grove City, 40-27.
The most celebrated individual in Thiel’s football history is without adoubt coach JAck Stoeber. Coach Stoeber served as head footballcoach from 1932-1941 and again from 1946-1954. He amassed 75 winsin that time and went on to win the Dapper Dan award for outstandingcontributions to athletics in Western Pennsylvania, the Greenville Man ofthe year award, the National Recreation Association award for distin-guished service in community recreation and numerous coach of the yearawards. Coach Stoeber’s career at Thiel also included stints as professorof German, head men’s basketball coach, dean of men and director of ath-letics.
The remarkable history of excellence and achievement is remembered asthe building blocks for today’s Thiel football players. Except for the twoperiods without football teams during Thiel’s history, varsity football hasbeen played every year since 1892, and this year marks the celebration ofthe 104th season of Thiel football.

A Century of Thiel Football
the TOMCAT mascot
through 1923 Thiel athletic
teams were known as the
“Huskies”. But in 1924, greatly
impressed by the spirit of the Thiel
football team, Carnegie Tech head
coach Wally Steffen observed that
“they played like wild, wild cats.”
This prompted Melvin A. Blair of the Greenville Record
Argus to report “Thiel played like Tom’s cats,” in reference
to head coach Dr. Thomas Holleran, a Greenville dentist
and former All-America at the University of Pittsburgh.
From that point thereafter the Thiel “Huskies” became
known as the Thiel “Tomcats” as a tribute to Dr. Holleran.

The Tomcats
2010 football guide 2.qxp:Layout 1 9/27/10 11:01 PM Page 11
Anew-look Thiel offense will be on dis-
play when the Tomcats begin their
2010 football campaign under second-
year head coach Kurt Reiser.
The Tomcats will make the switch to the
spread offense, a move Reiser says has
been in progress over the last couple of
years. With the school already showing its
commitment to improving the athletic
programs with the construction of an
indoor practice facility, a smooth transi-
tion to an offense with high-scoring
potential could make for an exciting year
at Thiel.
New offensive coordinator Brad
Paulson will play a key role as
the Tomcats get acclimated to
their new style. Paulson has eight
years of experience as an offen-
sive coordinator at three differ-
ent schools.
“We were looking for somebody
with experience in the spread,”
Reiser said. “He's worked with
the spread and has been success-
ful with it. He'll do a great job
implementing it and preparing us
to go forward.”
The change in offense may give
the skill athletes a chance to
flourish, meaning players such as
Tyler Dejong and Ross Gargano
could improve on the quality
seasons they turned in last year.
Dejong caught 46 passes for 524
yards as the second receiving
option behind record-setting
wideout Brendan Taylor. With
Taylor gone to graduation,
Dejong will step in as the main
receiving threat in his sophomore season,
combining with K.J. Smith to give the
'Cats a pair of returning letterwinners in
the receiving corps. Peter
Garza, Joe Hewel, who moves to wideout
from corner, and Devin Wasylink are also
competing for receiver spots.
“We have guys coming back who had a
chance to learn the offense this spring
and get acclimated to some of the termi-
nology,” Reiser said. “combine this with
what we've done in recruiting with
approximately 80 incoming freshman and
some very good skill players, it's going to
be a lot easier.”
Gargano could be a focal point in the
offense after proving to be a multi-threat
athlete last year. As a sophomore, the tail-
back led the team with six rushing touch-
downs and added two scores on catches.
His 34 receptions ranked third on the
team, as did his 184 yards on the ground.
“Ross is our most versatile offensive play-
er. He can play the slot or we can line
him up at running back. He'll probably get
more carries than a year ago since Danny
Hess has graduated,” Reiser said.
Justin Wazelle, a sophomore tailback, will
also see carries while Rob Tibbit will be
on the field primarily as a blocking back.
It is still unclear who will line up under
center for Thiel this season. Reiser says
three players are battling for the spot,
including senior Matt Endlish, junior Ken
Rasinski and Jared Soell.
Each of the three potential starting quar-
terbacks is coming off a different situa-
tion. Endlish was the backup to starter
Willie Bova last year, Rasinski is returning
from a knee injury and Soell is a transfer
from Slippery Rock University.
“This will be the first time in several
years going into camp that the quarter-
back position is up in the air,” Reiser said.
“All three did a nice job in the
spring. It will be important for us
to get a feel in camp for where
they are and who our starting
quarterback is going to be.”
In addition to the change in
offensive style, Reiser's coaching
responsibilities will differ from
last year. The hiring of an offen-
sive coordinator relieves Reiser
of those duties, allowing him to
return to overseeing the offen-
sive line.
The change gives the Tomcat
head coach more opportunity to
manage the game as a whole
rather than spending all his time
focused on just the offensive side
of the ball and calling plays.
“My job as the head coach will
be to try to make sure we have
team success so that what we
are doing offensively and defen-
sively mesh. If we need to help
the defense out by running more,
then that's what we'll do. That
will be part of my job, to balance offense
and defense and oversee the entire game
better than I have in the past,” Reiser
said.
The offensive line that Reiser will take
charge of loses its most accomplished
player in J.R. Kenna, a first team All-PAC
selection last year, to graduation, but has

THIEL COLLEGE
Senior Defensive Back BRYAN VILLEGAS
2010 football guide 2.qxp:Layout 1 9/27/10 11:01 PM Page 12
three returning starters in Gary Petrucci,
Vince Palmiere and David Mossa. All three
started each of the 'Cats 10 games last
season.
“They'll have to help us control the line
of scrimmage in the running and passing
game. We have to do a much better job
running the football,” Reiser said. “Even
though we're going to the spread, we still
want to be able to run the football and
be a physical team up front.”
The Tomcats struggled to establish the
running game last season, finishing under
50 yards in a game six times, but showed
signs they were capable of being success-
ful carrying the ball, including a 172-yard
ground attack in a win over Albion.
On the other side of the ball, Thiel's
defense will be led by a pair of returning
starters that earned All-PAC honors last
season in Will Haase, a second team All-
PAC selection, and Bryan Villegas, an hon-
orable mention on the All-PAC squad.
It will be the final year at Thiel for Haase,
who will anchor the defensive line. His all-
conference selection was the second of
his career and another solid season could
net him his first appearance on the first
team. He will be joined on the line by
returning starter Tim Taylor, who regis-
tered 44 tackles and tied with Haase for a
team-high three sacks. Jason Joens, Tom
Cermak, Matthew Shields and Zach
Woody are battling for the final two
starting spots on the line and will all see
playing time.
Reiser will look to Villegas to be the sen-
ior leader in the secondary from his free
safety position, with returning starters
John Madeline and Cody Sirgey as the
frontrunners to start at the corners.
David Urey, Marshaun Hainesworth and
Hunter Liptrap are also competing for a
starting spot.
“Haase has shown he can be a dominant
player in this league and Villegas has a
leadership role in the secondary,” Reiser
said. “Those are the guys we will be lean-
ing on in the defensive huddle to push the
young guys around them to compete on
every snap.”
Bobby Shew, who the Thiel coach calls an
intelligent player with good instincts, is a
returning starter at linebacker, as is Ryan
Dawes. The third linebacker spot, as well
as those providing depth, have yet to be
decided.
The kicking game shouldn't be a problem
for the Tomcats as they return an All-PAC
punter and All-PAC kicker. Anthony Rozzi
was selected to the second team as a
punter while Madeline was listed as an
honorable mention kicker.
Thiel will open its season vs. Marietta at
Alumni Stadium on Sept. 4. The only dif-
ference in the schedule from last year is
that instead of Albion, the Tomcats will
travel to play a non-conference game
against Widener for their second game of
the season. This game is part of the PAC-
MAC Challenge orchestrated by confer-
ence commissioner Joe Onderko. Each
team from the PAC, with the exception of
Thomas More, will play a team from the
MAC to determine bragging rights
between the two conferences.
The Tomcats begin their PAC schedule
with their Homecoming game against
Waynesburg in the season's third week
and follow that game with conference
matchups against Saint Vincent, Thomas
More, Bethany, Westminster, Geneva and
Washington & Jefferson before wrapping
up the season with a battle against Grove
City for the Mercer County Cup.
“I think with our conference, everybody
week in and week out is competitive so
we have to work hard every week,”
Reiser said. “I expect Washington &
Jefferson and Thomas More to be the
teams to beat again because of what
they've done in the past. Our job is to get
our kids to play and compete at that
level.”
Thiel finished 3-6 last year, a one-game
improvement over its 2008 record. If not
for a couple of close losses, a .500 season
or better could have been in reach. The
Tomcats fell to Marietta 20-14 in the sea-
son opener and closed out the season
with a 21-14 loss in double overtime to
rival Grove City.
“I think when we look back to 2009 we
realize we had some missed opportuni-
ties,” Reiser said. There were games that
if we had made a play here or play there
we could have won. Overall our goal is to
improve over last year. If everybody in
our program improves and competes on
a daily basis, wins and losses will take care
of themselves.”

FootbAll hiStory on noV. 16, 2008.
A member oF the coAchinG StAFF in

leiPheimer For eiGht SeASonS,
reiSer moSt recently SerVed AS
ASSiStAnt heAd coAch And oFFen-
SiVe coordinAtor For the tomcAtS.
As a member of the Thiel coaching staff,
Reiser has been no stranger to success.
As the team’s offensive line coach from
2001 to 2006, Reiser mentored eight
Tomcats to a combined 19 All-Presidents’
Athletics Conference selections. Two
players – dave hendricks and bob
munch – were four-time selections.
In Thiel’s 11-win 2005 campaign, the
Reiser-led offensive line played an integral
part in securing the program's first PAC
title since 1972 and its first undefeated
regular season since 1950. Five members
of that unit were named to the All-PAC
team, with two garnering first team
honors.
While Hendricks turned in one of the best
seasons of all time for a Thiel offensive
lineman, earning AFCA first team and D3
Football.com first team All-America hon-
ors in addition to being named the Don
Hansen Football Gazette National
Offensive Lineman of the year and earning
an invitation to participate in the Aztec
Bowl, the O-line as a whole paved the way
for a potent Tomcat attack.
Over the course of the 2005 season,
Reiser’s line allowed only seven sacks in
the regular season and aided in establish-
ing Steve Minton as the school's all-time
leading rusher and Darrell Satterfield and
Brandon Chambers as one of the most
prolific quarterback-receiver duos in
school history.
After being named offensive coordinator
prior to the 2007 season, Reiser has called
the shots for several of the most
impressive offensive displays in Thiel
football annals.
In his inaugural season as the Tomcats’
offensive play-caller, running back Dan
Hess set three school records in one day,
racking up 327 yards and 30 points on 43
rushes in a, 62-14, drubbing of Saint
Vincent College. The next season
quarterback Willie Bova conducted a
similar assault on Thiel passing records by
completing 32 of 63 tosses for 374 yards
(all three are school records).
Prior to arriving at Thiel, Reiser was the
offensive coordinator at Leyden High
School in Chicago for six years. A 1993
Allegheny graduate, he earned his master’s
degree from DePaul University in 1997.
With the Gators, where he played under
then-assistant coach Leipheimer, Reiser
was a three-year starter at tight end and
was a two-time All-NCAC selection and
an All-American. Reiser was also a starter
on the Gators’ 1990 National
Championship team.
He and his wife, Nancy, have three chil-
dren: Ben, Ethan, and Ellie.

KURT REISERHEAD COACH | SECOND SEASON
THIEL COLLEGE
PROFILE
whAt Are you exPectinG From thiS
yeAr’S Senior clASS?
In a single word - leadership.
They have to provide a great example of
work ethic, commitment, and dedication
on and off the field for our younger
players that we will rely on to make a
contribution this season. They have done a
good job to this point and we expect them
to take it to another level when we return
for camp this fall.
cominG oFF A 3-7 SeASon, hAVe you
noticed Any more determinAtion
From the teAm?
We never want to dwell on the past -
there is no point because there is nothing
we can do to change our record from
2009. We were better in 2009 than we
were in 2008 and we must continue down
that path of improvement. I do believe our
players can reflect on last season and
recognize some missed opportunities. If
we had made a play here or there last
season, our record certainly would be
different.
It is our goal for 2010 to improve on what
we started in 2009.
Are you PlAnninG AnythinG diFFerent,
SchemAticAlly, becAuSe oFthe chAnGeS
with coAchinG And PerSonnel?
We will look different this year than we
have in the past.
With the changes in the coaching staff, we
will be instituting new things offensively,
defensively, and on special teams. you will
probably notice the biggest change on
the offensive side of the ball as we move
from a Pro I scheme to more of a spread-
type of offense.
This past spring we were able to introduce
these changes to the players and they did
a great job of adjusting and learning the
offense. They are excited and looking for-
ward to the season.
whAt hAS been, or will be, the
biGGeSt chAllenGe you FAce in your
Second yeAr?
With approximately 140 players reporting
to camp, initially, our biggest challenge will
be getting people in the right positions to
help us be successful. It will be critical that
we manage drill time and practice time to
evaluate the players effectively. This is a
good problem to have and we are looking
forward to getting started on August 14th.
I am also looking forward to this season
and being able to manage the game as a
head coach. I will be coaching the offen-
sive line and will no longer be calling the
plays offensively. This will allow me to see
more of the game and give input to the
special teams and to the defense.
Any thouGhtS on the new mAc-
PAc chAllenGe thAt thiel will be
tAkinG PArt in thiS SeASon when you
tAke on widener?
We are looking forward to our trip to
Philadelphia to play Widener. They have a
rich tradition in their football program and
will certainly provide an early season test
for us. From a conference standpoint, it
will allow us to see where we stand with
another good conference.
The MAC sent two teams to the playoffs
last year with Albright making it to the final
eight before losing to Mount Union. It will
also allow our teams to get some
exposure in the eastern part of the state
which may allow us to expand our
recruiting area to those parts.
who do you exPect to SteP uP their
GAme the moSt thiS SeASon?
We are counting on several players to
come through for us this year.
Offensively, tyler dejong had a good
year in 2009 as a freshman and with the
departure of brendan taylor, he will be
looked upon to lead a young receiving
corps. I would also expect ross Gargano
to become more prominent in our
offensive scheme. Ross showed flashes of
brilliance last year and we expect him to
become a bigger part of the offense.
From the defensive side of the ball, bryan
Villegas and will haase need to step up
to leadership roles. Will has shown the
ability to be a dominant defensive linemen
in our league and Bryan will be looked
upon to lead a young secondary.
whAt Are your exPectAtionS For thiS SeASon?
We are very excited about the upcoming season. With a large recruiting class coming
in to join our upperclassmen we are expecting good competition at each position. This
will only makes us better as individuals and as a team. We are looking to improve on
our record and to compete week in and week out. We will continue to strive to get
better each day to put ourselves in a position to compete in the conference.

to take it to another level when we return
for camp this fall.
cominG oFF A 3-7 SeASon, hAVe you
noticed Any more determinAtion
From the teAm?
We never want to dwell on the past -
there is no point because there is nothing
we can do to change our record from
2009. We were better in 2009 than we
were in 2008 and we must continue down
that path of improvement. I do believe our
players can reflect on last season and
recognize some missed opportunities. If
we had made a play here or there last
season, our record certainly would be
different.
It is our goal for 2010 to improve on what
we started in 2009.
Are you PlAnninG AnythinG diFFerent,
SchemAticAlly, becAuSe oFthe chAnGeS
with coAchinG And PerSonnel?
We will look different this year than we
have in the past.
With the changes in the coaching staff, we
will be instituting new things offensively,
defensively, and on special teams. you will
probably notice the biggest change on
the offensive side of the ball as we move
from a Pro I scheme to more of a spread-
type of offense.
This past spring we were able to introduce
these changes to the players and they did
a great job of adjusting and learning the
offense. They are excited and looking for-
ward to the season.
whAt hAS been, or will be, the
biGGeSt chAllenGe you FAce in your
Second yeAr?
With approximately 140 players reporting
to camp, initially, our biggest challenge will
be getting people in the right positions to
help us be successful. It will be critical that
we manage drill time and practice time to
evaluate the players effectively. This is a
good problem to have and we are looking
forward to getting started on August 14th.
I am also looking forward to this season
and being able to manage the game as a
head coach. I will be coaching the offen-
sive line and will no longer be calling the
plays offensively. This will allow me to see
more of the game and give input to the
special teams and to the defense.
Any thouGhtS on the new mAc-
PAc chAllenGe thAt thiel will be
tAkinG PArt in thiS SeASon when you
tAke on widener?
We are looking forward to our trip to
Philadelphia to play Widener. They have a
rich tradition in their football program and
will certainly provide an early season test
for us. From a conference standpoint, it
will allow us to see where we stand with
another good conference.
The MAC sent two teams to the playoffs
last year with Albright making it to the final
eight before losing to Mount Union. It will
also allow our teams to get some
exposure in the eastern part of the state
which may allow us to expand our
recruiting area to those parts.
who do you exPect to SteP uP their
GAme the moSt thiS SeASon?
We are counting on several players to
come through for us this year.
Offensively, tyler dejong had a good
year in 2009 as a freshman and with the
departure of brendan taylor, he will be
looked upon to lead a young receiving
corps. I would also expect ross Gargano
to become more prominent in our
offensive scheme. Ross showed flashes of
brilliance last year and we expect him to
become a bigger part of the offense.
From the defensive side of the ball, bryan
Villegas and will haase need to step up
to leadership roles. Will has shown the
ability to be a dominant defensive linemen
in our league and Bryan will be looked
upon to lead a young secondary.
whAt Are your exPectAtionS For thiS SeASon?
We are very excited about the upcoming season. With a large recruiting class coming
in to join our upperclassmen we are expecting good competition at each position. This
will only makes us better as individuals and as a team. We are looking to improve on
our record and to compete week in and week out. We will continue to strive to get
better each day to put ourselves in a position to compete in the conference.

Jack leipheimerdirector oF AthleticS
John A. “Jack” Leipheimer ’74 took over as Thiel
College’s director of athletics on Nov. 17, 2008.
He currently oversees Thiel’s 24 competitive ath-
letics programs, 22 of which are associated with
the NCAA at the Division III level.
A coaching veteran of 34 years – including 25 at
the collegiate level - Leipheimer returned to Thiel
as its head football coach in 2001 and promptly guided the program to
national prominence. His 2005 team compiled an 11-1 record and drew
two NCAA playoff games to Alumni Stadium in Greenville.
Over his eight seasons at the helm of the football program, Leipheimer
amassed 36 wins – which ties for third most all-time in school history -
including an NCAA Division III playoff win in 2005. Under his tutelage, Thiel
players earned 114 all-conference selections, 17 all-region players and 10
all-America selections. He also coached five ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-Americans – a testament to his emphasis on academic excellence.
Leipheimer continues to stress the importance of academic and athletic
success to Thiel’s student-athletes as he oversees the day-to-day opera-
tions of the athletic department. In addition, he will focus on fund-raising
efforts in support of Thiel’s athletics program which includes more than 20
coaches and staff members and over 300 student-athletes.
Leipheimer was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter at tight
end, earning All-PAC accolades in 1973. He was a member of the 1972
squad that registered the college’s second PAC title with a 6-1 conference
mark. He was also a three-year letter winner with the Tomcat baseball
squad, playing both catcher and first base.
Before arriving at Thiel he served as an assistant coach at Allegheny College
for 17 years, with the last 12 seasons as the defensive coordinator. He
began his coaching career in 1975 as the offensive coordinator at the Bullis
School, Potomac, Md. He then served as the defensive coordinator at
Trinity High School, Garfield Heights, Ohio, from 1976-1978, and as head
coach of the former Kennedy Christian High School, now Kennedy
Catholic, Hermitage, Pa., from 1979-1984.
During his 12 seasons as Allegheny’s defensive play-caller (1989-2000), the
Gators tallied an impressive overall record of 106-23-1, including 22
shutouts. Leipheimer’s defensive schemes helped the Gators win the
NCAA Division III National Championship in 1990, and six North Coast
Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championships. At Allegheny Leipheimer
coached 70 All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) defensive play-
ers, 43 of whom were named to the first team and 22 defensive All-
Americans.
Jack and his wife, Patti, reside in Greenville. They have two daughters:
Shanna Bossler, a 2002 Thiel graduate and Krista Ferguson, a 2005 graduate
of the University of Pittsburgh.

Bova’s favorite target on the day was seniorwideout Brendan Taylor, who hauled in eightballs for 160 yards, including a 58-yard bomb inthe second quarter.
After weeks of flirting with the end zone, fresh-man WR Tyler Dejong finally hit pay dirt forThiel in the second quarter and then did itagain in the fourth to score his first- and sec-ond-career touchdowns.
Down 31-14 with 13:42 to go in the fourthquarter, Saint Vincent quarterback Jake Smithhad Thiel’s defense on its heels using an effec-tive hurry-up attack. After starting at the SVC22, the Bearcats marched to the Thiel 25 beforecornerback Malcolm Kennedy jumped in frontof a sure completion to end Saint Vincent’spromising drive on the 12-yard line.
Thiel went three-and-out on its ensuing posses-sion, but a booming 83-yard punt by freshmanTony Rozzi gave the Bearcats the ball at theirown 19.
On the very next play, linebacker Clint Walkerpicked off Smith at the 35, and tacked on an 8-yard return to put Thiel in business at the SaintVincent 25-yard line.
Dejong’s second score less than four minuteslater essentially ended any hope for a SaintVincent comeback.
The defense seconded that notion by endingthe Bearcats’ next two drives with intercep-tions
Kennedy made his second pick of the day inwhat was a carbon copy of his first, and TerryGensel intercepted a Caleb Gelsomino passwith about 90 seconds to play.
Sophomore John Madeline booted a 33-yardfield goal to open the scoring in the first quar-ter. Bookended by Dejong’s score and Bova’s 3-yard dash to the end zone, tailback RossGargano and tight end Dan Mackall hauled inTD passes of 12 and 11 yards, respectively toget in on Thiel’s 28-point second quarter.
Senior linebacker Sam Swartzfager led Thielwith six tackles and a fumble recovery.
Tim Taylor and Ryan Dawes added a pair offumble recoveries, with Taylor and Bobby Shewgetting credit for forcing those fumbles.

Defensively, the Tomcats shot out of the gatescausing three turnovers in the Wolverines' firstthree drives of the first quarter. Junior line-backer Bobby Shew led Thiel's defensive charge,picking off two Grove City passes only sevenminutes into the contest, while junior corner-back Cody Sirgey forced a fumble that was alsorecovered by the Tomcats.
As the defense dominated, the Thiel Collegeoffense capitalized, scoring 17 points in the firsthalf as Grove City sputtered. Senior runningback Dan Hess scored two first-half touch-downs, while John Madeline kicked a field goal
to put Thiel up 17-0 at the half.
The beginning of the fourth quarter was whenGrove City quarterback Andrew DiDonatobegan to exploit cracks in the Thiel Collegedefense as he marched his fellow Wolverinesdown the field in the form of a 12-play, 86-yarddrive for a touchdown.
The Tomcat offense could only get three playsinto their answering drive when Wolverine line-backer, Andrew Keirsey, picked off a Willie Bovapass and returned it to the Tomcat 16. TheWolverines would follow that costly turnoverwith a 6-yard touchdown pass from DiDonatoto Zac Summy, bringing the score to 17-14 infavor of Thiel.
The momentum continued to swing in the vis-iting Wolverines' favor as they forced theTomcats to punt on their next possession andfollowed it up with a field goal that knottedthings up at 17 with 2:38 left on the clock.
In the first overtime, the two quarterbacksmatched each other in touchdowns as Bovaconnected with Brendan Taylor and DiDonatoran one in from 11 yards out to send the gameinto a second overtime.
The Grove City offense would make shortwork of their time in the second overtime, asDiDonato hit receiver Luke O'Hara in the backof the end zone for six on the first play of thesecond extra frame.
The Tomcats would work their way down tothe Grove City 4-yard line for a fourth-and-goal opportunity. Bova dropped back for thepass, spotted Ross Gargano open in the back ofthe end zone and uncorked a ball that seemedto float in the air for eternity. As the ball beganto descend into the hands of Gargano,Wolverine linebacker,Chris Joseph batted theball down, washing away all hopes of a thirdovertime.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Tomcatdefensive lineman Tom Cermak led the team intackles with seven (four solo) while senior SamSwartzfager tallied six tackles and a fumblerecovery.

An Historic cAmpus...AT the Pittsburgh Synod convention in Greensburg in 1869, it was decided that Thiel Hall
would become a college and serve western Pennsylvania. Thiel College began its corporate existence on September 1, 1870, at Phillipsburg, where it stayed until Greenville submitted anelaborate proposal to have the college moved to the Mercer County community.
With a population of 1,848 in 1870, Greenville offered splendid north/south and east/west railtransportation, strong local patronage, exemplary moral and religious conditions and a pledge of$10,000 cash, five acres of land and use of a large academy building.
Thiel College was initially housed in the Union or Central School, made available by theGreenville School Board. The cornerstone for Greenville Hall (pictured left), the first building oncampus, was laid on August 15, 1872, while the dedication took place in conjunction with Thiel'sfirst commencement, June 25, 1874.

Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues
its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit
of academic excellence.
Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College,
Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint
Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington
and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster
College - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of
high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the cen-
ter of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle
that an athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity
in itself.
The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition
of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent.
Saint Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the confer-
ence as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division
III in 2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College,
became the conference’s ninth member and began league play as
it started NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08.
Chatham College became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-
08.
The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2008-09, the
conference had 41 teams represent the conference in postseason
play, including 23 in NCAA Championship events. PAC champi-
onship teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most
NCAA Division III national championship events.
All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches
select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual
sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are
based upon performances at the conference championships.
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports
Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in
PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson College men and
WestminsterCollege women captured the 2008-09 trophies (see
below).
True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic
All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last
year, the league named 602 student-athletes to the PAC Academic
Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who attain
a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.
