Upper Terrace Field ITHACA COLLEGE<br />
The <strong>Ithaca</strong> <strong>College</strong> men’s lacrosse program has<br />
played its home games at Upper Terrace Field<br />
since 1994. With the installation of a new drainage<br />
system and a reseeding of the field eight years ago,<br />
the facility is among the top grass lacrosse locations<br />
in Division III.<br />
Before moving to Upper Terrace Field, the<br />
Bombers played at Allen Field. In 1993, construction<br />
and bad weather forced <strong>Ithaca</strong> to play its regularseason<br />
home games on the artificial turf of Cornell<br />
University’s Schoellkopf Field.<br />
<strong>Ithaca</strong> has a .705 winning percentage at home and<br />
has won 54 of 67 games since 2000 on Upper Terrace<br />
Field. The Bombers won eight of their nine contests<br />
there last season. <strong>Ithaca</strong> hosted the inaugural Empire<br />
8 championship tournament at Upper Terrace Field<br />
during the 2004 season and was again conference<br />
tournament host in 2007.<br />
<strong>Ithaca</strong> is 6-3 in NCAA playoff games played at<br />
home. The Bombers lost to Cortland, 11-9, in 1979,<br />
defeated Washington (Md.), 15-14, in overtime the<br />
following year and lost, 16-15, to Middlebury in 1998’s<br />
opening round. During the 2001 season <strong>Ithaca</strong> opened<br />
the tournament with a 14-8 victory over Messiah<br />
and lost to eventual national champion Middlebury,<br />
18-7, in the second round. In 2002 <strong>Ithaca</strong> defeated<br />
Western New England, 16-15, in overtime and topped<br />
Cortland, 10-9, in the second round. Last year the<br />
Bombers rallied for wins over Williams and Western<br />
New England in the second round and quarterfinals.<br />
Both of the program’s Eastern <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />
Conference (ECAC) titles were won at home. In 1973,<br />
under coach Bill Ware, the Bombers posted ECAC<br />
playoff wins over Alfred, 14-11, and Rensselaer,<br />
15-11, at home. The Bombers won the ECAC<br />
Upstate New York Championship in 1993 after beating<br />
Hamilton, 12-7, and Hartwick, 15-11, on Upper<br />
Terrace Field.<br />
Improvements continue to be made to Upper<br />
Terrace Field. Following the 1997 season a fence was<br />
constructed to enclose the playing field and spectator<br />
seating. Protective nets behind the goals, which also<br />
serve as shooting nets, are now in place as well.<br />

ITHACA COLLEGE Men’s <strong>Lacrosse</strong> History<br />
The men’s lacrosse program at <strong>Ithaca</strong> has posted<br />
a record of 354-185 in the 39 years that lacrosse<br />
has been a varsity sport. The sport was introduced<br />
at <strong>Ithaca</strong> by Joe Corcoran through an intramural<br />
program in 1946.<br />
Under the direction of Harold Hatch and with<br />
Corcoran’s help, lacrosse became a club sport in 1949<br />
and play continued through 1951. After a hiatus the<br />
sport was resumed in 1965.<br />
Corcoran eventually became one of the most<br />
respected high school lacrosse coaches in the nation.<br />
He built powerhouse programs in Corning, and in<br />
1987 he was inducted into the United States <strong>Lacrosse</strong><br />
Hall of Fame.<br />
The club team was revived in 1965 thanks to the<br />
efforts of Ken Gerbino (an incoming freshman) and<br />
Carlo LoVecchio (who served as the team’s coach).<br />
Bill Ware took over as coach in 1966 and the sport<br />
attained varsity status a year later. The program’s first<br />
game was a 9-7 win over RIT on April 8, 1967.<br />
Ware coached the varsity team for 11 years, posting<br />
a 79-30 record. <strong>Ithaca</strong> had winning seasons every<br />
year under Ware. The Bombers won the Northern<br />
New York <strong>Lacrosse</strong> Division Championship in 1970<br />
and 1973, and shared the title in 1969, 1971 and 1972.<br />
The 1973 team also won the Eastern <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />
Conference (ECAC) lacrosse title.<br />
Among the early stars for the Bombers were goalie<br />
Tim Cullen and attack Ted Greves. Cullen played<br />
in all 25 games from 1969-71, posting a .777 save<br />
percentage, a school record that still stands. His 5.60<br />
goals-against average ranks second all-time. Greves,<br />
a two-time small-college all-American, is <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s<br />
career scoring leader. Upon graduation he held 10<br />

school records, including a goals-per-game average<br />
of 5.5 (set during the 1973 season) and a career<br />
scoring average of 4.21. Another top offensive threat<br />
from <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s early seasons was <strong>Ithaca</strong> Hall of Fame<br />
member Jim Shaw, who scored 193 points to rank<br />
fourth on the career scoring list.<br />
John Mouradian, who averaged almost three goals<br />
per game from 1974-76, is still involved in lacrosse.<br />
He has served as the general manager of the Buffalo<br />
Bandits of the Major Indoor <strong>Lacrosse</strong> League (MILL),<br />
now the National <strong>Lacrosse</strong> League, for three seasons.<br />
The Bandits captured two league titles during his tenure.<br />
Mouradian also served as general manager of the<br />
Ontario Raiders and is currently general manager and<br />
head coach of the San Jose Stealth.<br />
Al Wolski became the head coach in 1978 and<br />
led the team through the 1981 season. The Bombers<br />
participated in the NCAA tournament three times<br />
and compiled a record of 41-15 during his leadership.<br />
In 1978 the Bombers won their first NCAA playoff<br />
game, beating host Salisbury State.<br />
The 1980 team reached the Division III semifinals,<br />
thanks to a 15-14 overtime win over Washington<br />
(Md.). The Bombers were ranked third in the nation,<br />
finishing with a 12-3 record. That team scored 274<br />
goals, averaging 18.3 per game; both are school<br />
records.<br />
Wolski’s teams featured Barry Cohen, a threetime<br />
all-American and <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s second-leading career<br />
scorer, and Rob Serling, who set school records with<br />
120 career assists and 46 assists in one season. In<br />
1979 Steve Allison became <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s first all-American<br />
goalie.<br />
Ray Rostan coached <strong>Ithaca</strong> for two seasons and<br />
posted a 15-10 record. His 1983 team reached the<br />
NCAA playoffs after a seven-game winning streak<br />
during the regular season.<br />
Kevin Spencer took over as head coach in 1984 and<br />
posted a four-season record of 23-26. Derek Keenan<br />
was a standout performer during the mid-1980s. He<br />
ranks sixth on <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s career scoring list and took<br />
his game to the professional level as a forward for the<br />
Buffalo Bandits. He played professionally for two<br />
years before retiring at the end of the 1991 season.<br />
Goalie Pete Reardon collected a school-record 661<br />
saves in 43 career games.<br />
The 1988 season was the first for current head<br />
coach Jeff Long. Long guided <strong>Ithaca</strong> to the 1991<br />
Independent <strong>College</strong> Athletic Conference (ICAC)<br />
championship and the NCAA tournament. In 1992<br />
the Bombers won the Empire Athletic Association<br />
(EAA) crown and again made a trip to the NCAA<br />
tournament. In 1993 <strong>Ithaca</strong> won the ECAC Upstate<br />
New York title.
Two-time all-Americans goalie Dennis Butler,<br />
defensemen Brian Dattellas, Scott MacCaull and<br />
Mark Maietta, midfielder Jim Bianchi and attack Joe<br />
Hope — played their entire careers under Long. Attack<br />
Charlie Shoulberg ranks ninth in career goals. Attack<br />
Brian Ferry scored at least one point in every game<br />
of his career, and is third in career assists and seventh<br />
in career points.<br />
The 1998 team, which returned to the NCAA<br />
playoffs after a six-year absence, featured all-Americans<br />
Hope, midfielder Steve Fiorelli and goalie Matt<br />
Troy. In 1999 attack E.J. MacCaull (brother of<br />
Scott MacCaull) was the only Bomber to receive all-<br />
American honors. All-American midfielder Dennis<br />
Juleff helped lead the Bombers to an 11-3 record in<br />
2000. In 2001 the Bombers posted a program-best 13<br />
wins and returned to the NCAA playoffs, defeating<br />
Messiah in the first round. In 2002 <strong>Ithaca</strong> was again<br />
crowned conference champion and advanced to the<br />
quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.<br />
During the 2003 season, Juleff earned his fourth<br />

ITHACA COLLEGE Jeff Long, Head Coach<br />
Former Naval Academy all-American Jeff Long<br />
enters his 22nd season as head men’s lacrosse<br />
coach at <strong>Ithaca</strong> in <strong>2009</strong>. <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s winningest<br />
lacrosse coach, Long has compiled an overall record<br />
of 196-103 through 21 seasons. He was voted the<br />
Empire 8 Coach of the Year in 2000, 2002, 2005 and<br />
2006 and 2008.<br />
In 1988 Long took over a team that had gone<br />
9-16 over the previous two seasons; four years later<br />
the Bombers were in the NCAA playoffs. The 1991<br />
team finished 9-3, winning the program’s first ICAC<br />
championship in seven seasons and earning league<br />
coach of the year honors for Long. The next year the<br />
Bombers won the conference (EAA) title, and once<br />
again Long was named coach of the year. He was<br />
also named the Division III coach of the year by the<br />
United States Intercollegiate <strong>Lacrosse</strong> Association<br />
(USILA) in 1992.<br />
Long had the Bombers back in the playoff hunt<br />
five years ago, thanks in part to a seven-game winning<br />
streak. In 1998 <strong>Ithaca</strong> took the next step and reached<br />
the NCAA playoffs for the first time in six years. In<br />
1999 the Bombers posted a 7-6 record and followed<br />
that with an 11-3 record in 2000. In 2001 the Bombers<br />

NCAA playoffs in each of those seasons. In 1986 the<br />
Cavaliers played in the national championship game,<br />
losing to North Carolina, 10-9, in overtime.<br />
Long’s first head coaching job was at the Naval<br />
Academy. He worked one year with the “B” team<br />
and another season with the preparatory school unit.<br />
Following his Navy tenure, Long was an assistant<br />
at Norfolk Academy for one year before moving to
Alfred University, where he worked as a graduate<br />
assistant and earned a master’s degree in education.<br />
He also spent one season at Washington and Lee<br />
University before joining the Virginia staff.<br />
As a player, Long was a three-time all-American at<br />
Navy. He is Navy’s career scoring leader and played<br />
on four NCAA-playoff teams. Long graduated in<br />
1977 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.<br />
He played on the U.S. national lacrosse teams in 1978<br />
and 1986.<br />
In 1990 Long coached the Syracuse Molson all-star<br />

In the spring of 1998 Long served as an assistant on<br />
Princeton coach Bill Tierney’s staff for the U.S. team<br />

World Championship.<br />
In the fall Long is an assistant coach for the <strong>Ithaca</strong><br />
women’s soccer team, working with the team’s goalkeepers.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> Outlook ITHACA COLLEGE<br />
<strong>Ithaca</strong> enters <strong>2009</strong> as the five-time defending Empire<br />
8 regular-season champion and 2008 playoff champion.<br />
The Bombers are ranked 13th in the preseason<br />
rankings by Inside <strong>Lacrosse</strong> and were tabbed<br />
by Empire 8 coaches to repeat as league champions<br />
in the preseason coaches’ poll. <strong>Ithaca</strong> returns 20 letter-winners,<br />
including two preseason All-Americans<br />
in defenders Neth Wiedemann and Michael Serron.<br />
Wiedemann was a First Team Preseason All-American<br />
and Serron was named to the Third Team.<br />
2008 RECAP: <strong>Ithaca</strong> won the Empire 8 regular<br />
season and playoff championships and made its second<br />
straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, and 11th<br />
NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. The<br />
Bombers set a program record for wins in a season<br />
and finished with a 17-3 record. <strong>Ithaca</strong> advanced to<br />
the national semifinals, matching its best finish in the<br />
NCAAs. A school-record five Bombers were named<br />
All-Americans by the United States Intercollegiate<br />
<strong>Lacrosse</strong> Association – Wiedemann, Matt Nelligan,<br />
Brandon Rose, Craig Lepiane and Logan Bobzien.<br />
Nelligan and Rose were First Team selections, and<br />
Rose was also named USILA Long Stick Midfielder<br />
of the Year.<br />
KEY LOSSES: Four of the five 2008 All-<br />
Americans and eight letter-winners were lost to<br />
graduation. Nelligan was <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s leading scorer last<br />
season and recorded the third 50-goal season of his<br />
career. He’s the only player in <strong>Ithaca</strong> history to score<br />
50 goals in a season more than once. Rose, Nelligan<br />
and Lepiane were two-time All-American selections<br />
and Bobzien was a two-time First Team All-Empire<br />
8 selection.<br />
ATTACK: Seniors Alec Siefert and Matt Cutter<br />
are the most experienced returners up front for the<br />
Bombers. Both played in all 20 games in 2008. Siefert<br />
scored 28 goals and had 37 points, and started 12<br />
games. Cutter started three games and had 14 points<br />
last year. Kevin Ferris also returns at attack for the<br />
Bombers. Newcomers Brian DiBetta, D.J. Merriman,<br />
Devin Weinshank, Tom Mongelli and Michael<br />
Edwards will vie for playing time.<br />
MIDFIELD: Returning midfielder Nic Heckman<br />
is <strong>Ithaca</strong>’s top returning scorer after recording 21 goals<br />
and 27 assists for 48 points. Senior Kevin Bush had<br />
27 goals last year, which ranked fifth on the team, and<br />
34 points. Nick Neuman and Michael Hennessy return<br />
and will handle the majority of the face-off duties.<br />
Other returning midfielders include seniors Mike<br />
Giunta, Matt Ruhnke and Chris Carman; juniors<br />
Mike Lohan, Roniel Bencosme and Nick Powers; and<br />
sophomores Mike Silipo, Matt Molnar and Anthony<br />
Van Langen. Newcomers include Nick Munn, Chris<br />
Duncan and Billy LaPerch. Powers, Molnar and<br />
Duncan are long-stick middies.<br />
DEFENSE: All-Americans Wiedemann and<br />
Serron lead the way for what could be considered<br />
<strong>Ithaca</strong>’s strongest position. Junior Brett Reiter is a<br />
two-time letter-winner at close defense and provides<br />
additional experience at that position. That trio is<br />
joined by freshman newcomers Will Kraus, Bryan<br />
Martin and Zach Plotkin.<br />
GOALIE: David Gal and Ben Connery are returning<br />
letter winners who split time in 2008 and will vie<br />
for the starting position. Gal had a 7-0 record in 11<br />
appearances and a team-leading 7.94 goals-against<br />
average and .584 save percentage. Connery started 16<br />
games and had a 9-3 record. Newcomers Tim Palmer<br />
and Brendan Green add depth at the goalkeeping position.<br />
