THIS IS GVSU SOCCER

THIS IS GVSU SOCCER

THE RISE OF THE LAKERS

The Laker soccer program claimed the top prize at the end of

the 2009 season. The national championship came just 14 sea-

sons after the program took the field for the first time in 1996.

In those 14 years GVSU has quickly progressed from a brand

new program, to a GLIAC contender, to a playoff caliber

team, and now into a national powerhouse. The championship

trophy tells a story about the 2009 season, but it also marks

the culmination of the hard work and dedication of every

player and coach who helped the program reach the next

level.

From the outside of the program, GVSU was supposed to be

in a rebuilding year after Katy Tafler, Ashley Elsass, and

Kristina Nasturizo graduated after wreaking havoc on the

GLIAC for four years. Instead, the Lakers simply reloaded

for the 2009 season and claimed their fifth consecutive GLIAC Championship and third straight

undefeated season on the way to the national championship.

2009 National Champions

THIS IS GVSU SOCCER

For the third straight season, a majority of the student-

athletes to earn all-conference awards were wearing

Laker jerseys. GVSU saw all eleven starters earn first

or second team awards from the GLIAC. Along with

the All-GLIAC teams, Irie Dennis, Ashley Botts, and

Megan Brown swept the individual player awards.

Natalja Stanski wrapped up her senior year earning

national awards. She was named an academic all-

american by Daktronics, while also being named

ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American of the

Year. Stanski was also awarded the NCAA Elite 88

award at the national championship site.

Irie Dennis capped off her career with her fair share

of awards as well. Dennis was named the GLIAC Offensive Player of the Year and was named to

the All-region first-team. She also earned top honors from the NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches

Association of America) being named the NSCAA National Player of the Year.

COACHING

The women’s soccer program has been under the leadership of Dave DiIanni since 2003. As the

head coach he has led the team to seven consecutive NCAA playoff appearances, which is even

more impressive considering he lead the program to it’s first-ever appearance in his first year. Di-

Ianni has brought the program to new heights since his arrival. The first playoff appearance, the

first GLIAC championship, the first undefeated season, the first final four, and the first national

championship have all come during his tenure. He has also tutored seven all-americans in his

seven years. In 2006 he was named the NSCAA National Coach of the Year and he has been the

regional coach of the year two times. DiIanni is also the coach of the 89 ODP age group and is a

USSF-B licensed coach. Entering the 2010 season, DiIanni has a career record of 135-14-8 (.885).

Erica Demers has spent the last five years as the top assistant coach for the soccer team. In that

time, the Lakers have seen their five best goal totals by scoring 75 or more goals in each season,

with a high of 88 in both 2007 and 2009. In 2009 the Lakers outscored opponents by a total of 88-

12, with six players recording 20 or more points. Demers, who played NCAA Division I soccer

for Oakland University, was a two-time Mid-Con first team selection and was named the Mid-

Con Player of the Year in 2002.

Head Coach Dave DiIanni

EXPERIENCE

GVSU is committed to offering its student-athletes an opportunity to participate in some of the

best experiences of their lives, while competing in intercollegiate athletics, as well as attending

one of the fastest rising universities in the state.

In 2008, the Lakers prepared for the upcoming season practicing against top-notch competition in

Europe through the preseason. In 2009, the team kicked off the season with two games in Tampa,

Fla. This would bookend the season as the playoffs would take them through Denver, Colo. and

back to Tampa where they hoisted the trophy to finish the undefeated season.

One of the main attributes of a Division II program is to offer “Life in the Balance” to students.

GVSU takes pride in offering academic balance along with athletic success. Student-athletes in

the soccer program experience the best of every aspect of the college experience and a quality ed-

ucation is no exception. The soccer team has a cumulative GPA of just over 3.1, with 18 members

of the team averaging over a 3.0.

When you combine the outstanding academic reputation of the school with the program’s winning

tradition, it’s easy to see why GVSU is promoted as a “Grand” experience.

EXPERIENCE

The balance GVSU’s student-athletes experience

doesn’t just include academics and athletics. The

Lakers also spend time helping out around the

community and serving as role models for

younger girls.

In January, the team volunteered to help out at the

Kent County Humane Society and also spent time

at the Ronald McDonald House of Western

Michigan which is located in nearby Grand

Rapids. The soccer players also took part in the

National Girls and Women in Sports Day

(NGWSD) at GVSU where they teamed up with some of Grand Valley’s other women’s sports to

host over 300 middle school girls to help them learn some basic soccer skills as they rotated

through different activity stations and had opportunties to interact with the players. In the fall of

2009, GVSU hosted two clinics for soccer teams from the Grand Rapids Special Olympics and

those teams were able to showcase their talents during halftime of one of the games.

GVSU hosted over 300 girls

on NGWSD in February

LOCATION

GVSU’s main campus is located in Allendale, Mich. which is lo-

cated about 20 minutes from either Grand Rapids or Grand

Haven. Grand Valley also has a downtown campus which is lo-

cated in the second largest metropolitan city in the state, Grand

Rapids.

Grand Haven is home to the Coast Guard Festival and is a also

well-known attraction because of the beach on beautiful Lake

Michigan. Grand Rapids hosts the Celebration on the Grand every fall and is a city full of various

events and attractions throughout the year.

Grand Valley State also has a great Student Life department which

creates events and brings in different musical, comedy, and other

acts from around the nation for GVSU students to enjoy. Student

Life at GVSU also offers community service opportunties as well

as leadership programs.

Outstanding students, rich learning environments, excellent faculty, individual advisors and men-

tors, a wide range of majors, hands-on research opportunities, and nationally

ranked graduate programs all contribute to a challenging and rewarding ed-

ucational experience.

Our liberal education focus emphasizes critical thinking, creative problem

solving, and cultural understanding, preparing students for life in a fast-

changing world. It fosters a commitment to economic, social, and en-

vironmental sustainability and an inclusive campus that values

diversity. Through this forward-thinking education, students are em-

powered to positively affect the global community now and in the

future.

Grand Valley reaches out to the community through its Continuing

Education programs, VanAndel Global Trade Center, Annis Water

Resources Institute, Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center,

and many other programs and centers.

UNIVERSITY

HOME FIELD

The GVSU Soccer Field is located on-campus in Allendale. The home field for the Lakers saw

one of the biggest college soccer matches in West Michigan when the #3 Lakers defeated the #1

Tampa Spartans in the first game of the 2008 season. In 2009, the Lakers added a brand new score-

board behind the south end of the field and completed a

locker room under the press box.

The Lakers hold a strong advantage over their opponents

when playing at home. The Lakers had a home unbeaten

streak of 43 games that spanned from 2005-08. In 2009,

the Lakers began another home streak as they were de-

clared the victors after every home contest. GVSU hasn’t

lost a regular season home game since Sept. 4, 2005.

Having such a strong regular season home record helps the Lakers keep their games in Allendale

once the postseason begins. The GVSU soccer field has been host to at least one NCAA playoff

game in each of the past five years. That means when the season is on the line, the Lakers are

often able to play at home in front of friends and family.

FACILITIES

In 2008 GVSU opened the Laker Turf Building. The 138,000 square-foot indoor facility has a

seating capacity of 800 with a 100 yard sport turf field surrounded by a six-lane 300 meter track.

The building is used by the movement science program, intramurals, and athletics teams. Located

near the Laker Turf Building there are also six tennis courts and three outdoor basketball courts

that were expanded during construction. There was also a sand area added where there are three

beach volleyball courts.

The Fieldhouse is also home to some of the best facilities

around. Inside there is a weightroom that is primarily used

by the varsity programs for team workouts. The Recreation

Center is connected to the Fieldhouse and is designed to

show the university’s commitment to offering recreational

services to students. There is a 1/9th of mile indoor track

that is raised over the two main floors. The middle floor fea-

tures over 60 pieces of cardiovasular equipment, while the

lower floor features both free weights and machines. There are also two gyms that are connected

to the Rec. Center that house four full-court basketball courts.
