Upper Terrace Field ITHACA COLLEGE 

The Ithaca College men’s lacrosse program has 

played its home games at Upper Terrace Field 

since 1994. With the installation of a new drainage 

system and a reseeding of the field eight years ago, 

the facility is among the top grass lacrosse locations 

in Division III. 

Before moving to Upper Terrace Field, the 

Bombers played at Allen Field. In 1993, construction 

and bad weather forced Ithaca to play its regularseason 

home games on the artificial turf of Cornell 

University’s Schoellkopf Field. 

Ithaca has a .705 winning percentage at home and 

has won 54 of 67 games since 2000 on Upper Terrace 

Field. The Bombers won eight of their nine contests 

there last season. Ithaca hosted the inaugural Empire 

8 championship tournament at Upper Terrace Field 

during the 2004 season and was again conference 

tournament host in 2007. 

Ithaca is 6-3 in NCAA playoff games played at 

home. The Bombers lost to Cortland, 11-9, in 1979, 

defeated Washington (Md.), 15-14, in overtime the 

following year and lost, 16-15, to Middlebury in 1998’s 

opening round. During the 2001 season Ithaca opened 

the tournament with a 14-8 victory over Messiah 

and lost to eventual national champion Middlebury, 

18-7, in the second round. In 2002 Ithaca defeated 

Western New England, 16-15, in overtime and topped 

Cortland, 10-9, in the second round. Last year the 

Bombers rallied for wins over Williams and Western 

New England in the second round and quarterfinals. 

Both of the program’s Eastern College Athletic 

Conference (ECAC) titles were won at home. In 1973, 

under coach Bill Ware, the Bombers posted ECAC 

playoff wins over Alfred, 14-11, and Rensselaer, 

15-11, at home. The Bombers won the ECAC 

Upstate New York Championship in 1993 after beating 

Hamilton, 12-7, and Hartwick, 15-11, on Upper 

Terrace Field. 

Improvements continue to be made to Upper 

Terrace Field. Following the 1997 season a fence was 

constructed to enclose the playing field and spectator 

seating. Protective nets behind the goals, which also 

serve as shooting nets, are now in place as well.

ITHACA COLLEGE Men’s Lacrosse History 

The men’s lacrosse program at Ithaca has posted 

a record of 354-185 in the 39 years that lacrosse 

has been a varsity sport. The sport was introduced 

at Ithaca by Joe Corcoran through an intramural 

program in 1946. 

Under the direction of Harold Hatch and with 

Corcoran’s help, lacrosse became a club sport in 1949 

and play continued through 1951. After a hiatus the 

sport was resumed in 1965. 

Corcoran eventually became one of the most 

respected high school lacrosse coaches in the nation. 

He built powerhouse programs in Corning, and in 

1987 he was inducted into the United States Lacrosse 

Hall of Fame. 

The club team was revived in 1965 thanks to the 

efforts of Ken Gerbino (an incoming freshman) and 

Carlo LoVecchio (who served as the team’s coach). 

Bill Ware took over as coach in 1966 and the sport 

attained varsity status a year later. The program’s first 

game was a 9-7 win over RIT on April 8, 1967. 

Ware coached the varsity team for 11 years, posting 

a 79-30 record. Ithaca had winning seasons every 

year under Ware. The Bombers won the Northern 

New York Lacrosse Division Championship in 1970 

and 1973, and shared the title in 1969, 1971 and 1972. 

The 1973 team also won the Eastern College Athletic 

Conference (ECAC) lacrosse title. 

Among the early stars for the Bombers were goalie 

Tim Cullen and attack Ted Greves. Cullen played 

in all 25 games from 1969-71, posting a .777 save 

percentage, a school record that still stands. His 5.60 

goals-against average ranks second all-time. Greves, 

a two-time small-college all-American, is Ithaca’s 

career scoring leader. Upon graduation he held 10

school records, including a goals-per-game average 

of 5.5 (set during the 1973 season) and a career 

scoring average of 4.21. Another top offensive threat 

from Ithaca’s early seasons was Ithaca Hall of Fame 

member Jim Shaw, who scored 193 points to rank 

fourth on the career scoring list. 

John Mouradian, who averaged almost three goals 

per game from 1974-76, is still involved in lacrosse. 

He has served as the general manager of the Buffalo 

Bandits of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL), 

now the National Lacrosse League, for three seasons. 

The Bandits captured two league titles during his tenure. 

Mouradian also served as general manager of the 

Ontario Raiders and is currently general manager and 

head coach of the San Jose Stealth. 

Al Wolski became the head coach in 1978 and 

led the team through the 1981 season. The Bombers 

participated in the NCAA tournament three times 

and compiled a record of 41-15 during his leadership. 

In 1978 the Bombers won their first NCAA playoff 

game, beating host Salisbury State. 

The 1980 team reached the Division III semifinals, 

thanks to a 15-14 overtime win over Washington 

(Md.). The Bombers were ranked third in the nation, 

finishing with a 12-3 record. That team scored 274 

goals, averaging 18.3 per game; both are school 

records. 

Wolski’s teams featured Barry Cohen, a threetime 

all-American and Ithaca’s second-leading career 

scorer, and Rob Serling, who set school records with 

120 career assists and 46 assists in one season. In 

1979 Steve Allison became Ithaca’s first all-American 

goalie. 

Ray Rostan coached Ithaca for two seasons and 

posted a 15-10 record. His 1983 team reached the 

NCAA playoffs after a seven-game winning streak 

during the regular season. 

Kevin Spencer took over as head coach in 1984 and 

posted a four-season record of 23-26. Derek Keenan 

was a standout performer during the mid-1980s. He 

ranks sixth on Ithaca’s career scoring list and took 

his game to the professional level as a forward for the 

Buffalo Bandits. He played professionally for two 

years before retiring at the end of the 1991 season. 

Goalie Pete Reardon collected a school-record 661 

saves in 43 career games. 

The 1988 season was the first for current head 

coach Jeff Long. Long guided Ithaca to the 1991 

Independent College Athletic Conference (ICAC) 

championship and the NCAA tournament. In 1992 

the Bombers won the Empire Athletic Association 

(EAA) crown and again made a trip to the NCAA 

tournament. In 1993 Ithaca won the ECAC Upstate 

New York title.

Two-time all-Americans goalie Dennis Butler, 

defensemen Brian Dattellas, Scott MacCaull and 

Mark Maietta, midfielder Jim Bianchi and attack Joe 

Hope — played their entire careers under Long. Attack 

Charlie Shoulberg ranks ninth in career goals. Attack 

Brian Ferry scored at least one point in every game 

of his career, and is third in career assists and seventh 

in career points. 

The 1998 team, which returned to the NCAA 

playoffs after a six-year absence, featured all-Americans 

Hope, midfielder Steve Fiorelli and goalie Matt 

Troy. In 1999 attack E.J. MacCaull (brother of 

Scott MacCaull) was the only Bomber to receive all- 

American honors. All-American midfielder Dennis 

Juleff helped lead the Bombers to an 11-3 record in 

2000. In 2001 the Bombers posted a program-best 13 

wins and returned to the NCAA playoffs, defeating 

Messiah in the first round. In 2002 Ithaca was again 

crowned conference champion and advanced to the 

quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. 

During the 2003 season, Juleff earned his fourth

ITHACA COLLEGE Jeff Long, Head Coach 

Former Naval Academy all-American Jeff Long 

enters his 22nd season as head men’s lacrosse 

coach at Ithaca in 2009. Ithaca’s winningest 

lacrosse coach, Long has compiled an overall record 

of 196-103 through 21 seasons. He was voted the 

Empire 8 Coach of the Year in 2000, 2002, 2005 and 

2006 and 2008. 

In 1988 Long took over a team that had gone 

9-16 over the previous two seasons; four years later 

the Bombers were in the NCAA playoffs. The 1991 

team finished 9-3, winning the program’s first ICAC 

championship in seven seasons and earning league 

coach of the year honors for Long. The next year the 

Bombers won the conference (EAA) title, and once 

again Long was named coach of the year. He was 

also named the Division III coach of the year by the 

United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association 

(USILA) in 1992. 

Long had the Bombers back in the playoff hunt 

five years ago, thanks in part to a seven-game winning 

streak. In 1998 Ithaca took the next step and reached 

the NCAA playoffs for the first time in six years. In 

1999 the Bombers posted a 7-6 record and followed 

that with an 11-3 record in 2000. In 2001 the Bombers

were back in the playoffs, posting a 1-1 record in the 

postseason. In 2002 Ithaca made the NCAA semifinals 

for the first time in school history. In 2003 Ithaca 

finished 11-3 and four Bombers were named 

USILA all-Americans. Two years ago, the Bombers 

set a school record with 16 wins and reached the 

NCAA quarterfinals. Last spring Ithaca reached 

the NCAA semifinals after winning a fifth straight 

Empire 8 regular-season title and a school-recod 17 

wins overall. Ithaca athletes have earned 44 USILA 

all-American honors under Long. 

Before coming to Ithaca, Long worked as an assistant 

coach at the University of Virginia for Jim Adams, 

the Cavaliers’ winningest coach. During Long’s three 

seasons at Virginia, the team won two Atlantic Coast 

Conference (ACC) titles and was a participant in the 

NCAA playoffs in each of those seasons. In 1986 the 

Cavaliers played in the national championship game, 

losing to North Carolina, 10-9, in overtime. 

Long’s first head coaching job was at the Naval 

Academy. He worked one year with the “B” team 

and another season with the preparatory school unit. 

Following his Navy tenure, Long was an assistant 

at Norfolk Academy for one year before moving to

Alfred University, where he worked as a graduate 

assistant and earned a master’s degree in education. 

He also spent one season at Washington and Lee 

University before joining the Virginia staff. 

As a player, Long was a three-time all-American at 

Navy. He is Navy’s career scoring leader and played 

on four NCAA-playoff teams. Long graduated in 

1977 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. 

He played on the U.S. national lacrosse teams in 1978 

and 1986. 

In 1990 Long coached the Syracuse Molson all-star 

team that lost by one goal to the U.S. national team. 

In the spring of 1998 Long served as an assistant on 

Princeton coach Bill Tierney’s staff for the U.S. team 

that competed in the International Lacrosse Federation 

World Championship. 

In the fall Long is an assistant coach for the Ithaca 

women’s soccer team, working with the team’s goalkeepers. 

Ithaca has advanced to the NCAA playoffs in 

15 of the last 19 seasons and won national championships 

in 1990 and 1991. 

Jeff and his wife, Cathy, reside in Ithaca with their 

children, Kelly, Katie and Molly.

2009 Outlook ITHACA COLLEGE 

Ithaca enters 2009 as the five-time defending Empire 

8 regular-season champion and 2008 playoff champion. 

The Bombers are ranked 13th in the preseason 

rankings by Inside Lacrosse and were tabbed 

by Empire 8 coaches to repeat as league champions 

in the preseason coaches’ poll. Ithaca returns 20 letter-winners, 

including two preseason All-Americans 

in defenders Neth Wiedemann and Michael Serron. 

Wiedemann was a First Team Preseason All-American 

and Serron was named to the Third Team. 

2008 RECAP: Ithaca won the Empire 8 regular 

season and playoff championships and made its second 

straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, and 11th 

NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. The 

Bombers set a program record for wins in a season 

and finished with a 17-3 record. Ithaca advanced to 

the national semifinals, matching its best finish in the 

NCAAs. A school-record five Bombers were named 

All-Americans by the United States Intercollegiate 

Lacrosse Association – Wiedemann, Matt Nelligan, 

Brandon Rose, Craig Lepiane and Logan Bobzien. 

Nelligan and Rose were First Team selections, and 

Rose was also named USILA Long Stick Midfielder 

of the Year. 

KEY LOSSES: Four of the five 2008 All- 

Americans and eight letter-winners were lost to 

graduation. Nelligan was Ithaca’s leading scorer last 

season and recorded the third 50-goal season of his 

career. He’s the only player in Ithaca history to score 

50 goals in a season more than once. Rose, Nelligan 

and Lepiane were two-time All-American selections 

and Bobzien was a two-time First Team All-Empire 

8 selection. 

ATTACK: Seniors Alec Siefert and Matt Cutter 

are the most experienced returners up front for the 

Bombers. Both played in all 20 games in 2008. Siefert 

scored 28 goals and had 37 points, and started 12 

games. Cutter started three games and had 14 points 

last year. Kevin Ferris also returns at attack for the 

Bombers. Newcomers Brian DiBetta, D.J. Merriman, 

Devin Weinshank, Tom Mongelli and Michael 

Edwards will vie for playing time. 

MIDFIELD: Returning midfielder Nic Heckman 

is Ithaca’s top returning scorer after recording 21 goals 

and 27 assists for 48 points. Senior Kevin Bush had 

27 goals last year, which ranked fifth on the team, and 

34 points. Nick Neuman and Michael Hennessy return 

and will handle the majority of the face-off duties. 

Other returning midfielders include seniors Mike 

Giunta, Matt Ruhnke and Chris Carman; juniors 

Mike Lohan, Roniel Bencosme and Nick Powers; and 

sophomores Mike Silipo, Matt Molnar and Anthony 

Van Langen. Newcomers include Nick Munn, Chris 

Duncan and Billy LaPerch. Powers, Molnar and 

Duncan are long-stick middies. 

DEFENSE: All-Americans Wiedemann and 

Serron lead the way for what could be considered 

Ithaca’s strongest position. Junior Brett Reiter is a 

two-time letter-winner at close defense and provides 

additional experience at that position. That trio is 

joined by freshman newcomers Will Kraus, Bryan 

Martin and Zach Plotkin. 

GOALIE: David Gal and Ben Connery are returning 

letter winners who split time in 2008 and will vie 

for the starting position. Gal had a 7-0 record in 11 

appearances and a team-leading 7.94 goals-against 

average and .584 save percentage. Connery started 16 

games and had a 9-3 record. Newcomers Tim Palmer 

and Brendan Green add depth at the goalkeeping position. 

2009 SCHEDULE: The Bombers will face an 

always-difficult Empire 8 schedule and will play three 

of its regular season games against teams ranked in 

the Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Magazine Division III 

Preseason Poll - #4 Cortland, #11 Stevens and #15 

Nazareth. Ithaca opens its season with a pair of road 

games in Pennsylvania at Lycoming and Scranton. The 

Bombers host Oneonta on March 4 before heading to 

southern California for its spring trip that will include 

games at Whittier and against Drew. Ithaca returns to 

central New York for a March 21 game at Cortland. 

Empire 8 play begins at home March 25 when the 

Bombers start a three-game homestand by hosting

follows, before seven straight conference games close 

the season. St. John Fisher visits April 1, and then 

Ithaca hits the road for three straight at RIT, Utica and 

Nazareth. Home games against Elmira and Hartwick 

are scheduled for April 15 and 18. Ithaca closes its

ITHACA COLLEGE Administration 

THOMAS R. ROCHON 

President 

Thomas R. Rochon became 

the eighth president of Ithaca 

College on July 1, 2008. He 

holds a doctorate and a bachelor’s 

degree in political science from 

the University of Michigan, where 

he graduated with high distinction. 

Prior to his selection as the president of Ithaca 

College, Rochon served as executive vice president 

of the University of St. Thomas, a master’s comprehensive 

university in Minnesota, where he oversaw 

the university’s eight schools and colleges and, with 

the chief administrative officer, shared responsibility 

for the $150 million university budget. He worked to 

develop the academic vision of each unit and to set 

strategic directions; reorganized academic programs 

to create the School of Engineering; and helped launch 

a capital campaign centered on endowment support 

of students and faculty. An engaged civic leader, 

Rochon championed a university effort to strengthen 

community service and partnership activities in St. 

Paul, leading to Carnegie Foundation classification for 

community engagement. Along with his administrative 

responsibilities, he was a tenured professor in St. 

Thomas’s political science department. 

Rochon has an extensive history of accomplishments 

as an educator and academic administrator. 

Before his position at St. Thomas, as executive director 

of the Graduate Record Examinations program at 

the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Rochon was 

responsible for determining program policy under the 

oversight of the board and the ETS vice president for 

graduate and professional education. He guided the 

addition of analytical writing to the test, the first use 

of an essay in the GRE program; he also developed 

and implemented a program to empower universities 

to create their own test prep courses for graduate programs. 

He has held positions in the top leadership at 

prominent universities: dean of the School of Politics 

and Economics at Claremont Graduate University and 

assistant master of Dean Mathey College at Princeton 

University. He also held the post of assistant professor 

in the politics department at Princeton University 

for eight years. 

Rochon came to Ithaca College with a distinguished 

record of scholarly research. His work focuses on 

contemporary European politics and social movements 

in Europe and the United States. He is the 

recipient of numerous grants and awards, including 

the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the 


Collective Behavior and Social Movements section 

of the American Sociological Association, and the 

Susan Louise Dyer Peace Fellowship at the Hoover 

Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford 

University. Rochon was also a Fulbright lecturer at 

Kobe University in Japan. His 1998 book, Culture 

Moves: Ideas, Activism, and Changing Values, 

received a Distinguished Scholarship Prize from the 

American Sociological Association and was named by 

Choice an outstanding academic book of 1998. He has 

given periodic lectures and seminars on Dutch politics 

for embassy personnel of the U.S. Department of 

State and has served on numerous advisory and other 

boards, including the President’s Advisory Board of 

the Universidad Anáhuac del Sur in Mexico City. 

Since childhood Rochon has been an avid baseball 

card collector. He developed an interest in older cards, 

including those dating from the 1880s, and is an active 

user of the eBay online auction site. 

Rochon is married with no children. His wife, 

Amber, until recently worked in a shelter that provided 

temporary accommodation to teenage girls; she 

is looking forward to continuing her work in the Ithaca 

community. 

KEN KUTLER 

Director of 

Intercollegiate Athletics 

Ken Kutler is in his sixth year

Kutler came to Ithaca after 

serving as director of athletics at 

two other Division III institutions: Frostburg State 

University (1978 to 1986) and Hartwick College (1986 

to 2003). At Hartwick, he oversaw a 24-sport intercollegiate 

athletic program (including two sports that 

competed at the Division I level). 

He is a past president of the Empire 8 athletic 

conference. Kutler spent 10 years as women’s soccer 

coach at Hartwick (1986 to 1993 and again in 2001 

and 2002) and guided the Hawks to five appearances 

in the NCAA championship tournament.
