WELCOME TO WILDCAT COUNTRY

the University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less.

As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers, and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a popula-tion of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of engineering and Physical sciences, school of Health and Human services, College of Life sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. the University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and the Princeton review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NAsA-recognized space science Center; the institute for study for earth, Oceans and space; and the institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of

winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law school at Harvard and Cornell, engineering at stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard.

History

In recent years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In the 2012 offseason, Cowell Stadium was fitted with a brand new scoreboard while the football locker rooms were renovated as well. In the locker rooms, a new lighting system was installed while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver. Walker suffered an untimely and heroic death March 18, 2011, in Boulder, Colo., when he stopped an attempted robbery and saved the life of a woman he was walking home. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. Renovations to the Center included the addition of 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an additional 15,000 pounds of weights. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval was also renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic campus as well. The lat-est addition to the expanding campus is the Paul College of Business and Economics, a 115,000 square foot academic building located on Garrison Avenue. Slated for completion in January 2013, the building will feature 16 technology-rich classrooms, totaling 950 new instructional seats. There will also be 25 high-tech groups study rooms along with a two-story “Great Hall” for informal and special events. Outside of the facility, there will be a courtyard for outdoor activities and events. The building

will be a Leed (Leadership in energy and environmental design) Gold facility, maintaining the University’s commitment to sustainable programs and facilities. The University broke ground on the project in May 2011. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has also been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall in October of 2007, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of En-gineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. the revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades includ-ing top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. Additionally, the University completed construction of the new dining facility on Main street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. Combining the atmosphere of a small New england liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the Uni-versity offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides

students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

Maine ‘89

Head Coach Rob Thompson enters his 20th season with the University of New Hampshire men’s soccer program and his 18th as head coach. During his tenure as head coach, Thompson has posted a 131-128-50 record and has led the team to eight America East tournament berths in the last 10 seasons.

Last season, the Wildcats tallied a conference record of 1-4-2 and an overall mark of 7-9-2, including a pair of victories to claim the 22nd Annual Nike Fall Classic for the third consecutive year. However, for the first time since 2005, New Hampshire did not qualify to participate in the America East tournament, bringing its impressive streak of five straight appearances to an end.

In 2010, Thompson led the Wildcats all the way to the America East Championship game for the first time since 1994, posting a 9-5-6 record on the season. Despite fall-ing 5-4 on penalty kicks to UMBC (Nov. 13) in the title game, the Wildcats held the Retrievers scoreless through regulation and both overtime periods, marking the third consecutive team they shut out in the conference tournament, as they also blanked Binghamton (Nov. 6) and Boston University (Nov. 10). The impressive mark made UNH the first team ever to record three shutouts in the conference tournament.

UNH’s hot postseason run stemmed from its impressive regular season, wrapping up the year with a 7-5-5 record and a 2-3-2 mark in conference play. Despite dropping their last two games of the season, the Wildcats were unbeaten in five of their six games prior, notching back-to-back wins against Boston University (Oct. 23) and Albany (Oct. 27). As a result of their stellar play, six Wildcats received America East All-Conference honors, including Goalkeeper of the Year and the Jim Urquhart Student-Athlete of the Year award.

Off the field Thompson’s student-athletes have had mirrored success. Five of Thompson’s student-athletes were named to the America East All-Academic squad for the 2011-12 year, more than any other team in the conference.

individually, three Wildcats received National soccer Coaches Association of America (NsCAA) scholar honors and Colin O’donnell was tabbed an NsCAA Men’s College Scholar All-American, becoming the first Wildcat to received All-American status since 2005. O’Donnell also took home the America East scholar-athlete award for the second consecutive season, demonstrating continued excellence both on the field and in the classroom. Joe Corsello was just as successful, posting the best grade point average among all UNH student-athletes for the 2010-11 academic year.

in 2009 thompson guided the Wildcats to one of their best seasons to date, post-ing a 9-7-2 record and clinched the No. 1 seed in the America East tournament. Additionally, the ‘Cats earned their first regular-season title since 1994 and their first outright title ever.

the Wildcats wrapped up their America east regular season with a 2-1 win over Binghamton University on Oct. 28. The win extended UNH’s regular-season unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1), as they finished the conference schedule undefeated. Moreover, it was the first time since 1997 that a team completed the conference schedule without a loss and is UNH’s best conference record since also compiling a 6-0-1 mark in 1994.

Thompson and his staff took home Coaching Staff of the Year honors, while seven Wildcats received postseason accolades, including defender of the Year and Goal-keeper of the Year. Three ‘Cats were named to the All-Conference First Team and the All-Rookie Team, while one was selected to the All-Conference Second Team.

the Wildcats got off to a fast start in 2008 as they posted a 5-0-2 record to open up the season, with wins over Memphis and Massachusetts. The Wildcats kept pace the rest of the season finishing 7-7-4, including a 2-4-2 mark in America East play. UNH clinched the final playoff spot in the America East tournament as it defeated UMBC in dramatic fashion, 3-2, Oct. 29.

In 2007 the Wildcats made a late push for a postseason berth as they pieced together a 4-1-7 record down the stretch to clinch a spot in the America East tournament. New Hampshire would make the most of the opportunity as it defeated Boston University, 4-2, on penalty kicks after finishing regulation with a 0-0 tie to advance to the semifinal round of the tournament.

In 2006 Thompson led the Wildcats to a record of 12-5-3, their best mark since 1994. The squad advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament, with Thompson and his staff earning Coaching Staff of the Year honors by America East.

Prior to becoming head coach in 1995, thompson was an assistant with the program for two seasons and the Wildcats made their only NCAA appearance in 1994 after compiling a 15-5-2 record. In his first season as head coach, Thompson led the Wildcats to 10 victories. Thompson’s 1997 team captured a No. 22 national ranking. He became UNH’s all-time wins leader in 2001, reaching the 50-win mark. His 2003 squad was ranked as high as No. 2 in the region, and the 2002 Wildcats spent the entire regular season ranked in New England.

Prior to arriving at UNH, Thompson coached extensively in the Washington, D.C., area, and directed club teams to both state and regional titles. A Virginia native, Thompson spent three years coaching and teaching at South Lakes High School in Reston, Va., and three years coaching in the Virginia Olympic Development Program.

The 2012-13 academic year marks the 13th season Marty Scarano has served as the Director of Athletics at the Univer-sity of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. His many accomplishments played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic Departments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings. With a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 89 percent among its student-athletes in 2011-12, UNH ranked third in the America East Conference and fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association. The men’s soccer, women’s cross country/track, gymnastics, women’s ski, and volleyball teams all posted perfect 100 percent GSRs while five additional programs tallied scores of 90 or above. The NCAA honored four Wildcat teams for multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APRs) in the top 10 percent of all teams in its respective sports. The Wildcat men’s ice hockey team and gymnastics both recorded perfect APRs of 1,000, while the men’s outdoor track & field team tallied 997 points and women’s indoor track & field notched 995. In 2012, the football program garnered its second consecutive Academic Progress Rate Award for the Colonial Athletic Association. UNH became one of only five FCS programs in the nation to earn the title for a second straight year and the only FCS team in the country to both reach the postseason and capture an APR award in back-to-back seasons. UNH finished third in the America East Academic Cup for its third consecutive top-three finish, achieving a 3.14 cu-mulative grade-point average. The Wildcats had the highest number of honorees on the 2011 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll and the highest percentage of student-athletes on the 2011-12 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. In the fall, 52 student-athletes were named to the America East Commissioner’s Honor Roll for achieving a GPA mark of 3.5 or higher while 76 student-athletes accomplished the feat on the winter/spring honor roll. Scarano has focused on moving UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships.

After a year of rebuilding, the University of New Hampshire men’s soccer team looks to return to the America East Championship and make a run at the conference title in 2012. The Wildcats wrapped 2011 at 7-9-2, posting their first sub .500 record since 2004. The fol-lowing year in 2005, the ‘Cats scorched the competition, racking up a 9-5-3 record.

Despite the loss of three talented seniors, the ‘Cats are retaining a large group of 22 veteran players and welcoming in a skilled class of eight freshmen, all of whom are poised to have a positive impact.

Starting in net, Travis Worra (Lancaster, Pa.) returns after a stellar first year. He finished the year with a 7-8-2 record and posted five shutouts, including three consecutive (9/16-9/25). Kyle Lewis (North Reading, Mass.) made his first career start, resulting in a heartbreak-ing 1-0 loss to UMass in double overtime. Lewis had been a perfect eight-for-eight in saves until the 109th minute when UMass netted the game winnnig goal. Blake Dawn (San Marino, Calif.) will also be a key reserve in net for the ‘Cats.

A solid corps of backs return to the defensive zone, including seniors Ryan McNabb (Downingtown, Pa.) and Alex Hussein (Haverhill, Mass.). McNabb made 17 appearances, with 10 of them being starts and also fired off five shots. Hussein started 16 of the 18 games that he ap-peared in last year and provided an offensive kick for the ‘Cats, rifling off 12 shots. Jeffrey Turner (Blandon, Pa.), the lone junior on the line, started all 18 games that the Wildcats played last year. He dished out an assist while sending off five shots, three of which were on target. Sophomore classmates Adrien Lumumba (Newfields, N.H.) and Con-nor Pauley (Londonderry, N.H.) both look to make a big impact on the pitch this year. Lumumba made three starts in his six appearances while Pauley did not register any time.

At the midfield position, seniors Gustav Nilsson (Pixbo, Sweden), Josh Bronner (Belchertown, Mass.), Byron Greenwood (Greenland, N.H.)and midfielder/forward Charlie Roche (Haverhill, Mass.) bring plenty of depth and experience back to the line. Nilsson made 13 appearances with six of them being starts last year and also fired off four shots, all on goal. Bronner started all 17 games that he played, netting a pair of goals. One goal came in the 108th minute of overtime against Holy Cross (10/18), giving New Hampshire a 2-1 victory. Roche provided versatility on the field, splitting time between the midfield and forward positions. Roche netted one goal last year, which proved to be the game winning goal against Dartmouth (11/1) in the season finale. Despite only seeing time in three games last season, Greenwood will still be looked upon to make a big impact when he takes the field.

The juniors making their return to the line will consist of Ugochukwu Uche (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Robert and Steven Palumbo (Kingston, N.H.), Matthew Weinstein (Anchorage, Alaska), and Cody Cormier (Bangor, Maine). Uche had a breakout 2011 season for the ‘Cats earning seven points on two goals and three assists in the 18 games he played. He notched the game winning goal during the 89th mintue of play in the season opener against Rhode Island and assisted on two game winners later in the season. The Palumbo twins also had great seasons at the midfield spot for New Hampshire last year. Steven played in 14 games, eight of which were starts, and racked up three goals and one assist for seven points. He also recorded 13 shots on goal. Robert made nine starts in his 12 appearances and dished out three assists for three points. He also sent nine shots on net. Weinstein only saw action in two games while Cormier did not register any time on the pitch for the ‘Cats.

Sophomores Clint Caso (Kinnelon, N.J.) and Cameron Bielski (Dover, Mass.) will be looked upon to play key roles in the upcoming season. Caso will see time in both the midfield and defensive slots as he did last year. He made nine appearances with three starts in 2011 while sending off four shots on net. Bielski made a pair of starts to go along with his 10 appearances and notched one shot.

At the forward position, Jordan Thomas (Mohnton, Pa.) will be the lone senior on the line this year. Thomas started all 18 games for New Hampshire last year and registered four shots. David Schlatter (Marlton, N.J.) had a stellar rookie campaign for the Wildcats last season, netting three goals and dishing out a pair of assists for eight points. He appeared in 18 games with 12 starts up top and was relentless with his shots. He fired 28 total and 12 found their way to the keeper. Aaron Smith (Loudon, N.H.) made 15 appearances between the midfield and forward position, two of them coming on starts. He also notched a pair of shots on the year. Rounding out the sophomore class of strikers is Paul Bianchi (Essex, Vt.). Bianchi made six starts through his 11 appearances and tallied a shot.

The team and coaching staff extended a big welcome to a tremendous group of freshmen during the off season. A.J. Albers (Eagan, Minn.), Andrew Chaput (Manchester, N.H.), Lukas Goerigk (Berlin, Germany), Angel Maldonado (Lennox, Calif.), Liam O’Connor (Evergreen, Colo.) and Jesus Tedula (Zaragoza, Spain) make up the group and are poised to make an immediate impact for the ‘Cats.

Albers arrived from Eagan, Minn., after finishing up his U17/U18 campaign with the Minnesota Thunder. As a senior at Ea-gan High School, Albers was named Most Valuable Player of his squad and earned all-conference and all-state honors. He was also a member of the Star-Tribune All-Metro First Team. Joining him on the back line is Chaput, a Manchester, N.H. na-tive. Chaput is coming off a successful campaign with the U17 and U18 Seacoast United teams. During his high school career at Manchester Central, he helped lead the squad to an 18-0-1 season record en route to earning the Division I state title. He was also tabbed a First Team All-State selection and was nomi-nated for the Gatorade/ESPN N.H. Player of the Year. Round-ing out the incoming backs is Goerigk. He comes to the U.S. from his Tennis Borrusia squad in the U19 Regionaliga. Also a member of the team in the U17 Bundesliga, he helped lead them to a pair of runner-up finishes in the Berlin Youth Cup in 2007 and 2011. For his high school team (Willi-Graf-Gymnasium),

Goerigk was a key factor in the team’s successful Berlin School Youth Championship campaign in 2011.

Maldonado, a California native, comes to New Hampshire and will be added to the midfield line. He is coming off a two-year stint with the Pateadores, a team in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. During his U15/U16 campaign, Maldonado was named captain of the squad and was invited to the U.S. U15 National Team pool in 2009. He was also a four-year letter winner at Amino Leadership Charter High School where he was named to the All-Selectional Team in 2009 and 2010. Joining him at midfield is Tudela. He comes to the U.S. from Spain where he recently finished playing with U.D. Amistad in the U19 National Division. From 2006-09, Tudela was a member of Real Zaragoza and graduated from the British School of Aragon last Spring.

Rounding out the class of 2016 is O’Connor. As a goalkeeper, he most recently played for the Colorado Rush U17/U18 team in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. As a senior at Mullen High School, he was the backbone of their success during the 2011 season when the squad earned the Colorado State title. During that year, he also garnered All-Conference, First Team All-State and First Team All-Academic honors.

With the returning 22 players and the addition of six great athletes, the Wildcats are slated to have a tremendous 2012 campaign and assert themselves as the top team in the conference.
