2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Last season was a record-breaking year for<br />

the <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s soccer program.<br />

The Wildcats thrived <strong>of</strong>f a relentless defense<br />

and multiple scoring threats on <strong>of</strong>fense to<br />

reach the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament<br />

before falling in double overtime to<br />

eventual national champion, Indiana. UK<br />

has added depth on the <strong>of</strong>fensive and defensive<br />

ends that should make 2004 another<br />

banner year for Coach Ian Collins and his<br />

team.<br />

Attack<br />

The Cats return top goal scorer, Riley<br />

O’Neill, who last season became the first<br />

freshman in school history to lead the team<br />

in goals scored with seven. The Campbell<br />

River, B.C., native, finished fourth in the<br />

Mid-American Conference in goals and tallied<br />

three game-winners, including one to<br />

defeat then No. 12 Akron, 1-0. He was<br />

named MAC Newcomer <strong>of</strong> the Year, the<br />

fourth Wildcat to claim the honor since<br />

1995.<br />

O’Neill should get plenty <strong>of</strong> scoring help<br />

from sophomore Anthony Peters, who sat<br />

out last year. Peters led the Cats in scoring<br />

during the MAC Tournament as a freshman<br />

in 2002 and is one <strong>of</strong> the most explosive<br />

players on UK’s roster. Peters, 6-3, and<br />

O’Neill, 6-2, are both big targets who will<br />

be imposing scoring threats for the Cats.<br />

“Those two guys are going to be a formidable<br />

force,” Collins said. “Both are<br />

dynamic, primetime players and I look forward to<br />

seeing them play together.”<br />

Seniors Daniel Ferriter and Jonathan Brunet will<br />

provide experience and consistency to the frontline<br />

in their final year with the program. Ferriter transferred<br />

to UK last season and played valuable minutes<br />

in the team’s run through the post-season.<br />

Brunet is in his third season with the team after<br />

transferring as well. The Cats will rely on his craftiness,<br />

skilled left foot and ability to serve the ball in<br />

the box this season. Sophomore Brett Smith also<br />

will compete for playing time on the UK attack.<br />

Midfield<br />

The midfield position is headlined by a strong<br />

group <strong>of</strong> seniors, led by 2003 MAC Player <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Year, Jamal Shteiwi. Shteiwi led the conference<br />

and was fifth in the nation in assists with 13. He<br />

has led the Cats in scoring for the past two seasons.<br />

“Jamal has had a terrific college career,”<br />

Collins said. “We expect him to be an impact<br />

player once again.”<br />

2004 Season Preview<br />

Jamal Shteiwi was named the 2003 MAC Player <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />

and led the conference in assists with 13,<br />

which also ranked fifth in the nation.<br />

Senior Olli Lehtimaki scored three goals and<br />

tallied one assist last season. The Hameenlina,<br />

Finland, native held the team’s highest shot percentage<br />

in 2003. Chris Lefferts, a senior transfer<br />

in his second season with the program, started 19<br />

games for UK last season.<br />

“Olli gives us good stability and leadership in<br />

the middle,” Collins said. “Chris has really started<br />

to understand our system and we expect big<br />

things from him.”<br />

Shteiwi’s younger brother, Sophomore Jibran<br />

Shteiwi, saw limited action in his first season with<br />

the program, but has made significant improvements<br />

in strength and speed. He should see<br />

increased playing time this season. Also, Chris<br />

Okamura and Nikolas Moreno, spent valuable<br />

time practicing with the team and learning the<br />

system last season, and could challenge for playing<br />

time in 2004.<br />

The Cats also added an array <strong>of</strong> young talent in<br />

the midfield with a highly touted freshman class<br />

that is expected to make an immediate impact.<br />

Backs<br />

The <strong>Kentucky</strong> defensive unit, which<br />

sparked the team’s undefeated run through<br />

the MAC last season, looks to be even<br />

stronger this year. The Cats return three<br />

backline starters from 2003, including<br />

juniors Brandon Stewart and Thomas<br />

Senecal, as well as sophomore Nathan Li.<br />

Stewart, who has been a starter in both <strong>of</strong><br />

his first two seasons with the program, was<br />

named Defensive MVP <strong>of</strong> the adidas/Spartan<br />

Classic in Greensboro, N.C., made the<br />

All-MAC Second Team and All-MAC Tournament<br />

teams as well. Senecal was UK’s<br />

third leading scorer, as he registered three<br />

goals and four assists. At 6-4, Senecal is<br />

dominant in the air for the Cats. Senior<br />

Adam Walker established the left back position<br />

as his own toward the end <strong>of</strong> last season,<br />

starting in the team’s final four matches.<br />

“The back is very strong with our veteran<br />

players,” Collins said. “There will be a battle<br />

for certain positions. I really like our depth<br />

in that area.”<br />

Jeremy Groves returns to the UK lineup<br />

after sitting out last season. Groves appeared<br />

in 13 matches as a sophomore two seasons<br />

ago and is expected to push for playing time<br />

right away. Senior J.R. Kenny and red-shirt<br />

freshman Matt Vogel spent much <strong>of</strong> last season<br />

practicing with the team and learning<br />

the system, but both will have the opportunity<br />

to see more action in 2004. A host <strong>of</strong><br />

newcomers will also attempt to break into<br />

the <strong>Kentucky</strong> defensive lineup.<br />

Goalkeepers<br />

Junior Andy Gruenebaum returns as the Cats’<br />

starter in goal. Gruenebaum played over 1,900<br />

minutes in goal last season and allowed a recordlow<br />

15 goals, on his way to a 0.68 goals against<br />

average. He held the 17th lowest GAA among<br />

Division I goalkeepers and led the Cats to the<br />

ninth lowest GAA in the country as a team.<br />

“Andy has established himself as the No. 1<br />

goalkeeper right now,” Collins said. “But, we<br />

have a nice goalkeeper core.”<br />

Other returning goalkeepers who will compete<br />

for playing time include senior Jarret<br />

Christie, sophomore Brannan Sapp and red-shirt<br />

freshman Chad Pricket.<br />

Newcomers<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> will welcome ten new faces to the<br />

program this fall, including a pair <strong>of</strong> NSCAA/adidas<br />

High School All-Americans.<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

“This year’s freshman class is very talented and<br />

gives us a lot <strong>of</strong> options that we have been missing,”<br />

Collins said.<br />

Nathan Marks, a defender from Louisville,<br />

Ky., and Andrew Alexander, a forward from<br />

Atlanta, Ga., received All-America honors and<br />

were named Gatorade Player <strong>of</strong> the Year in <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

and Georgia, respectively.<br />

Marks was a four-year starter for Trinity High<br />

School and was a two-time All-Midwest Region<br />

and All-State West team selection. He will have<br />

the opportunity to learn from and compete<br />

against <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s veterans on defense in his first<br />

season. Alexander gives the Cats another scoring<br />

threat at the forward position. He finished his<br />

high school career as Pace Academy’s all-time<br />

leading goal and point scorer. In 2003, he led his<br />

team to a state championship and was named<br />

MVP <strong>of</strong> the Florida Invitational Tournament.<br />

The Wildcats also add one <strong>of</strong> the top defenders<br />

in the northwest, Evan Anderson, to the<br />

defensive unit. Anderson, a Redmond, Wash.,<br />

native, is a member <strong>of</strong> the Region IV ’85<br />

Olympic Development Team and will add a great<br />

physical presence at 6-2. Virginia product, Grant<br />

Ward, is a skilled goalkeeper who has played with<br />

the Team America Premier Club team that won<br />

the 2002 Virginia State Cup and has trained in<br />

Holland, Spain and France. Both Anderson and<br />

Ward will add to an already strong defensive unit.<br />

On <strong>of</strong>fense, UK picked up Michael Strong from<br />

San Antonio, Texas who is described as, “a terrific<br />

striker with explosive pace,” and could push for<br />

immediate playing time in the fall. Strong is a twotime<br />

TASCO All-State First Team selection and he<br />

was named to the Express News Greater San Antonio<br />

Area 2004 “Super Team”. Jeremy Swetnam is<br />

an Ohio product with great scoring ability. He registered<br />

21 goals and 23 assists last season for Worthington<br />

Christian Academy in Dublin.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> native Troy West will join the team<br />

with four years <strong>of</strong> playing experience with the<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> Olympic Development State Team.<br />

West played his high school career at the Sayre<br />

School under the guidance <strong>of</strong> former Wildcat<br />

standout, Jason Bell.<br />

British Columbia native, Michael D’Agostino,<br />

is the third Canadian to sign with UK in two seasons,<br />

after the Cats experienced great success with<br />

its previous signees, Nathan Li and Riley O’Neill.<br />

D’Agostino has played for the Canadian National<br />

Team as a midfielder since 20<strong>01</strong> and he has compete<br />

in Germany, Luxemburg, Slovakia and Austria.<br />

David Hertel also will compete for playing<br />

time in the midfield. Hertel hails from Holland<br />

Christian Academy in Michigan, where he was a<br />

First Team All-State selection and played for the<br />

Region II and Michigan ODP State Teams.<br />

The Cats will also welcome Matt Baum, a<br />

sophomore transfer from Florida Atlantic, to<br />

their 2004 roster. Baum tallied four goals and<br />

four assists for the Owls and started in seven <strong>of</strong><br />

the 20 matches he appeared in as a freshman.<br />

The 6-2 midfielder will provide another strong<br />

scoring threat for UK.<br />

“I think these players will help us continue<br />

to push towards our ultimate goal <strong>of</strong> winning<br />

a national championship,” Collins said. “They<br />

all chose <strong>Kentucky</strong> to help us compete for that<br />

ultimate prize.”<br />

Brandon Stewart returns as a two-year starter<br />

and was second-team All-MAC and earned All-<br />

MAC Tournament team honors in 2003 as<br />

well.<br />

UK’s 2004 recruiting class was named as the<br />

40th best incoming class in America according to<br />

College Soccer News.<br />

team have consistently faced one <strong>of</strong> the toughest<br />

schedules in collegiate soccer, and this upcoming<br />

season will be no different. The Wildcats’ 2004<br />

schedule includes match-ups with six teams ranked<br />

in the top-25, and eight teams that participated in<br />

the 2003 NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament,<br />

including home matches against defending College<br />

Cup Champion, Indiana, No. 7 Michigan, NCAA<br />

participant Cincinnati and Ohio State.<br />

“I’m really excited for our fans to see some <strong>of</strong><br />

the finest teams in the country play at the UK<br />

Soccer Complex. This is our best home schedule<br />

ever,” Collins said. “This is an extremely tough<br />

schedule that will challenge our players all the<br />

way through the season.”<br />

The Cats open with scrimmages against Michigan<br />

State and No. 2 St. John’s in the IPFW Soccer<br />

Showcase pre-season event in Ft. Wayne, Ind.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> will play its first regular-season matches<br />

at the Southern Methodist Mi Cocina Classic in<br />

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 3 and 5, where it is set to face<br />

two tough opponents in No. 23 SMU and No. 24<br />

Tulsa. The Mustangs posted a 13-6-3 record last season<br />

and made their 19th NCAA Tournament<br />

appearance in 20 years, while the Golden Hurricane<br />

advanced to the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament<br />

last season and finished the year as the fifthhighest<br />

scoring team in the country.<br />

The Wildcats then face-<strong>of</strong>f against in-state<br />

rival Louisville on the road before playing their<br />

home opener against UNC Asheville. <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

plays its first Mid-American conference match on<br />

the road at Western Michigan and returns home<br />

the following weekend to play host to the UK<br />

Invitational Tournament, which features matches<br />

against Georgia Southern and Winthrop. UK<br />

will close out the month <strong>of</strong> September with<br />

matches against Marshall and Ohio State.<br />

The Cats will begin October with a showdown<br />

against No. 7 Michigan at the UK Soccer<br />

Complex, followed by a road match against Buffalo.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> will then play a four-game home<br />

stand highlighted by a match against defending<br />

national champion, Indiana. `<br />

After hosting matches against Northern Illinois,<br />

Bowling Green and Alabama A&M, <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

will play its final road game <strong>of</strong> the season<br />

against No. 16 Akron. UK then returns home to<br />

face Cincinnati in a rematch <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament<br />

first round before playing its final regular-season<br />

match against UAB.<br />

“Our schedule has a tough beginning, a tough<br />

middle stretch and a tough ending,” Collins said.<br />

“I think it shows our commitment to continue to<br />

play the best teams in the country.”<br />

Coach Collins<br />

on the Senior Class:<br />

“I think it is a good, strong class. Jamal Shteiwi<br />

and Olli Lehtimaki are going to be the leaders<br />

<strong>of</strong> the class. We have a few other guys who didn’t<br />

start their careers here, but are ending them here.<br />

Christopher Lefferts, Jarret Christie, J.R. Kenny,<br />

Jonathan Brunet and Jeremy Groves are guys who<br />

started their careers elsewhere. It will be great for<br />

them to finish <strong>of</strong>f here because they’ve all worked<br />

really hard. It is a great group <strong>of</strong> guys and I hope<br />

they go out the right way.”<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Head<br />

Coach<br />

Ian Collins<br />

As Ian Collins enters his<br />

eleventh season at the<br />

helm, UK is poised to field<br />

one <strong>of</strong> its most talented teams<br />

yet coming <strong>of</strong>f a solid 12-7-2<br />

campaign that ended in the<br />

second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA<br />

Tournament. <strong>Kentucky</strong> finished<br />

the season ranked No.<br />

22 in the nation.<br />

The Cats asserted their dominance once<br />

again in the Mid-American conference last season<br />

by posting a 6-0-0 regular season conference<br />

record, only the fourth team in league<br />

history to finish with an unblemished<br />

season. Collins has guided<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> to three MAC Tournament<br />

titles and three MAC<br />

regular-season titles.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> has established<br />

itself as a serious threat in recent<br />

NCAA Tournament<br />

appearances.<br />

UK has competed<br />

in the NCAAs<br />

four <strong>of</strong> the past<br />

five seasons,<br />

advancing to the<br />

second round in<br />

2000, 20<strong>01</strong> and<br />

2003.<br />

Collins is a<br />

three-time MAC<br />

Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />

(1997, 1999,<br />

20<strong>01</strong>) as well as<br />

the National Soccer<br />

Coaches Association<br />

<strong>of</strong> America<br />

Mid East Region<br />

Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />

in 1999.<br />

Arriving in the<br />

Bluegrass as an<br />

assistant coach in<br />

1992, Collins has<br />

been a part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Wildcat family for<br />

12 <strong>of</strong> its 13 years.<br />

He spent just two<br />

seasons as assistant<br />

before taking over<br />

the reins as head<br />

coach in 1994.<br />

In 1997, Collins led<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> to new<br />

heights, finishing<br />

with a 12-7-2 overall<br />

record. UK started<br />

the season with a 5-1-<br />

1 record, including a<br />

2-1 triumph over rival<br />

Bowling Green in front<br />

<strong>of</strong> 3,000 fans at the UK<br />

Soccer complex. Collins<br />

led UK to the MAC<br />

Tournament semifinals<br />

for the<br />

third straight<br />

year, picking<br />

up MAC<br />

Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year honors for his efforts.<br />

In 1999, Collins guided the Cats to the<br />

school's first MAC Tournament title and<br />

NCAA Tournament berth. UK reeled <strong>of</strong>f four<br />

consecutive wins heading into NCAA before<br />

stretching defending champion Indiana to the<br />

limit in a double OT loss.<br />

The 2000 season brought even<br />

better things. Collins' squad<br />

captured a tie for first<br />

place in the MAC to<br />

earn its first regularseason<br />

title. Then<br />

after defeating<br />

Bowling Green<br />

for the MAC<br />

Tournam<br />

e n t<br />

crown, the<br />

Cats traveled<br />

to<br />

No. 9<br />

Saint Louis,<br />

where they<br />

topped the Billikens<br />

in an<br />

NCAA tournament<br />

first-round<br />

shootout.<br />

In 20<strong>01</strong>, the<br />

Cats provided<br />

Collins with the<br />

team's highest <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />

output since<br />

1995, nearly breaking a<br />

school record for points<br />

with 125 on 39 goals<br />

and a school-record 47<br />

assists. UK finished 20<strong>01</strong><br />

with a 14-6-1 record, its<br />

first undefeated MAC<br />

season, its third straight<br />

MAC tourney title and<br />

another berth in the NCAA<br />

tourney.<br />

Last year, <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

posted an impressive 12-7-<br />

2 record, its seventh consecutive<br />

double digit win<br />

season. Collins' team<br />

played stifling defense and<br />

became the first in MAC<br />

history to complete regular<br />

season play without<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Q&A with Coach Collins<br />

Q: Do you think the final game <strong>of</strong> last season<br />

will motivate this year's team?<br />

A: "I think you always remember your last loss,<br />

unless you win it all. We have a very hungry<br />

group <strong>of</strong> players who are very dedicated, determined<br />

and driven. That game may drive them a<br />

little more, but they aren't looking at the past so<br />

much - they are looking to the future. We are<br />

optimistic about their chances to do well and<br />

hopefully that will happen."<br />

Q: Can this year's team play defense like the<br />

2003 team?<br />

A: "I think you can always play better, but last<br />

year our defending was very good as a unit. We<br />

were very tight, compact and understood what we<br />

had to do. This year's team should be able to<br />

open the game up a little more and be more<br />

attack oriented. We are certainly going to concentrate<br />

heavily on defending, but we will spend<br />

a lot <strong>of</strong> time breaking people down and moving<br />

forward to score more goals. We want to be effective<br />

on both ends."<br />

Q: What motivates you to coach and have your<br />

team perform at the highest level?<br />

A: "You want to see guys be successful, you want<br />

to see guys make lifelong memories and you want<br />

to see guys be rewarded for the hard work they put<br />

in. I've been a player and had success, so I want to<br />

see everyone in our program smile and enjoy the<br />

same success. I want to see everyone in at the <strong>University</strong><br />

be proud <strong>of</strong> the product that we put on the<br />

field. That puts a smile on my face."<br />

Q: What makes UK a great place for someone to<br />

play college soccer?<br />

A: "We have a great athletic department and<br />

academic university and outstanding support and<br />

staff in all areas. We have a great facility and play<br />

a tough schedule every year. If it was my son or<br />

daughter, I'd be very happy if they went to school<br />

here when considering all aspects. It has a lot to<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer and it is a great environment. It is top quality<br />

athletics, top quality academics and the people<br />

are terrific. That makes a great package."<br />

Q: How did you feel after receiving Men's<br />

Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year and Team <strong>of</strong> the Year at the<br />

Catspys?<br />

A: "Coach <strong>of</strong> the Year I'm not too worried<br />

about. It's a great honor because we have outstanding<br />

coaches here on the men's side. All <strong>of</strong><br />

our programs are very competitive. I'm not driven<br />

by personal goals, so that didn't mean that<br />

Coach Collins and his staff, invest in their<br />

players on and <strong>of</strong>f the field.<br />

much to me. I was happier to see our team get<br />

some recognition for the hardwork, effort and<br />

dedication they put in. We won't let them get<br />

carried away with that, but I was happy for our<br />

seniors. It meant a lot to them."<br />

Q: How do you approach a new season in<br />

regards to playing time, etc.?<br />

A: "I've seen the level that some guys can produce<br />

at and I'm familiar with the players that have been<br />

here, but some players get better and some don't<br />

reach the peak they had in the past. We try to wipe<br />

the slate clean with everybody. I'm very excited<br />

about our incoming class <strong>of</strong> players. I think we<br />

have some terrific young players and this year's<br />

team will be made up a little differently. We'll open<br />

the game up more and look to score more goals. At<br />

the same time, we've always been stingy defensively,<br />

so we certainly aren't going to give that up. We<br />

look at the players we have and their qualities to<br />

come up with a system <strong>of</strong> play that will best suit<br />

their talent. The start <strong>of</strong> the season is exciting<br />

because we are trying to gel people and put them in<br />

the right spots. Ending in a disappointing fashion<br />

last year will maybe give us extra motivation, but we<br />

want to look forward not backwards."<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Assistant Coach Jeff Chaney<br />

Collins on Chaney<br />

"Jeff Chaney is one <strong>of</strong> the backbones<br />

<strong>of</strong> our program. He has been with<br />

me since day one and has really provided<br />

a stabilizing force with everything<br />

we do. He is an integral part <strong>of</strong><br />

the program and I'm very happy he'll<br />

be back with us."<br />

Jeff Chaney has played an integral role for the<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s and women’s<br />

soccer teams for the past 12 seasons, 10 <strong>of</strong> which<br />

he’s been a men’s assistant coach.<br />

Chaney was an assistant for the women’s program<br />

in its first two seasons (1992 and 1993)<br />

before being named men’s assistant in 1994. He<br />

has a played a vital role in the Wildcat’s success,<br />

including the 2000, 20<strong>01</strong>and 2003 Mid-American<br />

Conference regular-season titles, the 1999,<br />

2000 and 20<strong>01</strong> MAC Tournament Championships<br />

and NCAA Tournament bids in 1999,<br />

2000, 20<strong>01</strong> and 2003.<br />

Chaney serves as recruiting coordinator for<br />

the men’s team in addition to his handling <strong>of</strong><br />

many administrative and training responsibilities.<br />

He is also responsible for oversight <strong>of</strong> the players’<br />

academic development. It is the latter area that<br />

gives Chaney particular pride in the program, as<br />

the Cats have shown the same kind <strong>of</strong> success in<br />

the classroom as on the field.<br />

In the spring <strong>of</strong> 2004, the men’s soccer team<br />

achieved a 3.100. Over the past few years, the<br />

Cats have had 15 selections to the Athletic Director’s<br />

Honor Roll, three Verizon Academic All-<br />

Americans, two NSCAA Scholar-Athlete<br />

All-Americans, 42 MAC and 51 Southeastern<br />

Conference Academic Honor Roll Selections and<br />

two Arthur Ashe Scholar Athletes.<br />

Perhaps the best indicator <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

soccer program’s dual commitment to academics<br />

and on-the-field excellence can be found<br />

in the finalists for the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter<br />

Scholar-Athlete <strong>of</strong> the Year Award. Every<br />

year, the SEC selects two Student-Athletes <strong>of</strong><br />

the Year. A male and female nominee, considered<br />

the top student-athletes from their university,<br />

represents each SEC school. For four <strong>of</strong><br />

the last five years, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s<br />

male nominee has been a member <strong>of</strong> the men’s<br />

soccer program: Jason Bell in 2000, Giovani<br />

Fernandes in 20<strong>01</strong>, Ilkka Jantti in 2002 and<br />

Chris Austin in 2004.<br />

A native <strong>of</strong> Georgetown, KY., Chaney<br />

graduated from Scott County High<br />

School, where he earned All-State<br />

and All-Conference honors and was<br />

a co-founder <strong>of</strong> the soccer program.<br />

In 1984, Chaney received the prestigious<br />

Award.<br />

Chaney continued his soccer<br />

career at Georgetown (Ky.) College<br />

where he was named to the NAIA All-District<br />

team in 1985 and was team captain for three<br />

seasons. He was also awarded the Outstanding<br />

Senior Award in Political Science<br />

in 1991.<br />

Since 1986, Chaney has<br />

spent his summer as staff coach<br />

at numerous soccer camps<br />

across the country as well as<br />

in Germany.<br />

Chaney served as an assistant<br />

What <strong>Kentucky</strong> did in Mid-American conference play in 2003 was<br />

nothing short <strong>of</strong> amazing. The Wildcats didn’t just win the outright MAC<br />

title for the second time in three years, it dominated conference play from<br />

start to finish. UK opened the league slate on Oct. 5 at BowlingGreen, netting<br />

a 3-0 victory and setting the tone for the season to come.<br />

an unblemished record, but without being scored against – not a single<br />

goal. Sophomore goalie Andy Gruenebaum was relentless in the net, earning<br />

All-MAC honors.<br />

Jamal Shteiwi was powerful as well, leading the conference in assists,<br />

while finishing second in shots and points per game to earn recognition as<br />

the 2003 MAC Player <strong>of</strong> the Year. Freshman Riley O’ Neill was an immediate<br />

2003 Men’s Soccer Season Review<br />

The 2003 <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s soccer season was<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the most memorable in school history.<br />

The Wildcats tied a school record low for<br />

goals allowed in a season (15), went undefeated in<br />

regular-season Mid-American Conference play<br />

for the second time, earned its first at-large bid to<br />

the NCAA Tournament and played host to its<br />

first NCAA Tournament game.<br />

The Wildcats opened the remarkable season<br />

with three shutout victories over North Carolina<br />

Asheville, Cincinnati and Western <strong>Kentucky</strong> and<br />

earned a No. 7 ranking in the NSCAA Great<br />

Lakes Region Poll. Two days later, junior Jamal<br />

Shteiwi battled the flu and fatigue to lift the Cats<br />

past in-state rival Louisville, 2-1, in a double<br />

overtime thriller in front <strong>of</strong> 1,682 fans, the fifthlargest<br />

crowd in UK Soccer Complex history.<br />

The win pushed <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s record to 4-0-0, its<br />

fourth such start in the program’s history.<br />

UK was dominant in October, posting an 8-1-0<br />

record, including its second undefeated run through<br />

MAC regular-season play. With sophomore standout<br />

Andy Gruenebaum between the pipes, the<br />

Wildcats became the first team in MAC history to<br />

complete regular season play without giving up a<br />

goal, a remarkable feet that covered over 549 minutes<br />

<strong>of</strong> scoreless soccer.<br />

UK’s only loss in October came at the hands<br />

<strong>of</strong> No. 3 North Carolina at the Spartan Classic in<br />

Greensboro, N.C. <strong>Kentucky</strong> tied the game 1-1 in<br />

the 62nd minute <strong>of</strong> play and held strong until<br />

Carolina scored on a penalty kick in the 75th<br />

minute. The Cats scored a second goal late in the<br />

match, but it was waived <strong>of</strong>f by a foul call. After<br />

the loss, <strong>Kentucky</strong> responded by winning six consecutive<br />

games, including a 1-0 shutout over<br />

then-No. 12 Akron.<br />

The Cats’ October run garnered national<br />

recognition as senior defender Chris Austin was<br />

named to the Soccer America Men’s Team <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Week, Gruenebaum was named to the College<br />

Soccer News “National Team <strong>of</strong> the Week” and<br />

UK entered the national rankings at No. 21.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> went on to post a 12-5-1 regularseason<br />

record and was rewarded with its first<br />

at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The<br />

Cats played host to Cincinnati in the first<br />

round <strong>of</strong> the tournament in what will go down<br />

as one <strong>of</strong> the most memorable games in the<br />

program’s 13-year history.<br />

The Wildcats and Bearcats played an evenly<br />

matched game through 110 minutes, in which neither<br />

team could find the net. In the subsequent<br />

shootout session, Gruenebaum made a diving save<br />

on Cincinnati’s first attempt that Coach Collins<br />

called one <strong>of</strong> the greatest he’s ever seen. Chris<br />

Austin, Jamal Shteiwi, Nathan Li and Joey Gaworecki<br />

all scored on their penalty kicks and UK advanced<br />

past UC, 4-2, and went on to face No. 5 Indiana in<br />

the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament.<br />

Senior Chris Austin was named to the Soccer America Men’s Team <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Week for his great defensive play in October.<br />

Andy Gruenebaum notched 10 shutouts on the season, including six in<br />

regular-season MAC play to earn first-team All-MAC honors.<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Riley O’Neill was named the Mid-American Conference Newcomer <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Year after leading the team with seven goals scored and 17 points.<br />

Sophomore Thomas Senecal proved to be a solid backline defensive player.<br />

He also scored three goals and tallied four assists on the season.<br />

Playing in its third NCAA Tournament second<br />

round game in four years, <strong>Kentucky</strong> pushed<br />

the Hoosiers to the brink before falling, 2-1, in<br />

double overtime. The Cats played a man down<br />

for the majority <strong>of</strong> the first overtime and entire<br />

second session. Indiana went on to win the 2003<br />

College Cup Championship.<br />

Andy Gruenebaum proved to be one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

nation’s best goalkeepers as he notched 10<br />

shutouts, including six in Mid-American Conference<br />

regular season play on his way to earning All-<br />

MAC first team honors. He finished with a 0.68<br />

goals against average, which ranks as the school’s<br />

second-lowest in a season. The Overland Park,<br />

Kan., native also placed 17th in the national rankings<br />

for goals against average and <strong>Kentucky</strong> finished<br />

ninth as a team in the same category.<br />

With Gruenebaum as the anchor, the <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

defensive unit stifled its opponents allowing<br />

goals few and far between. Three matches<br />

into the season, UK held a 3-0 record with all <strong>of</strong><br />

its wins coming by way <strong>of</strong> shutouts which marked<br />

the most consecutive shutouts to open a season in<br />

school history. The first goal allowed by <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

came 311 minutes into the season in a<br />

match against in-state rival Louisville.<br />

On <strong>of</strong>fense, UK relied on the precise serving<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jamal Shteiwi and an array <strong>of</strong> scoring threats to<br />

put points on the board and keep opposing<br />

defenses <strong>of</strong>f-balance. Shteiwi set a single-season<br />

school record with 13 assists and recorded five<br />

goals on his way to leading the Cats in scoring for<br />

the second consecutive season with 23 points.<br />

The junior was named MAC Player <strong>of</strong> the Year<br />

after leading the conference in assists and assists<br />

per game with 0.62 a contest. Shteiwi finished<br />

the season No. 10 in the nation in assists per<br />

game and his 17 career assists ranks second alltime<br />

in school history. The Cincinnati product<br />

also was named NSCAA/adidas All-Great Lakes<br />

Region Second Team<br />

Mid-American Conference Newcomer <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Year, freshman forward Riley O’Neill, was the<br />

primary recipient <strong>of</strong> the majority <strong>of</strong> Shteiwi’s<br />

record-breaking assists. The Campbell River,<br />

B.C., native posted impressive numbers for the<br />

Cats as he led the team with seven goals scored<br />

and finished second with 17 total points. O’Neill<br />

scored <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s lone goal in a 1-0 win over No.<br />

12 Akron and posted three goals and an assist in<br />

one weekend in matches against Appalachian<br />

State and Bowling Green. O’Neill earned Second<br />

Team All-MAC honors as well.<br />

Sophomore Thomas Senecal scored three<br />

goals, recorded four assists and was a major force<br />

on <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s backline defensive unit. The 6-4<br />

defender joined Shteiwi and Gruenebaum on the<br />

All-MAC first team.<br />

A rookie from British Columbia, Nathan Li,<br />

also emerged as a standout in the Cats lineup. Li<br />

made 17 starts and notched two goals in his first<br />

season with the team. He made the UK Invitational<br />

All-Tournament Team, the MAC All-Tournament<br />

Team and the All-MAC second team.<br />

Sophomores Joey Gaworecki and Brandon<br />

Stewart also received All-MAC second team<br />

recognition. In all, <strong>Kentucky</strong> received seven All-<br />

MAC selections, the most in school history.<br />

The Wildcats finished the season ranked No.<br />

22 in the final NSCAA/adidas rankings and the<br />

future looks bright with nine starters and 11 letterwinners<br />

returning in 2004.<br />

NCAA Championship History<br />

Former Wildcat Scot Shewey scored the lone<br />

goal against Mercer to give UK its first win in<br />

NCAA Tournament play.<br />

In 1999, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s soccer<br />

team reached the NCAA Tournament for the<br />

first time in school history and set a precedent that<br />

continued the next two seasons. A year ago, their<br />

streak <strong>of</strong> tournament appearances was halted at<br />

three. In 2003, the Cats look to return to the NCAA<br />

Tournament for the fourth time in five years<br />

1999 - First Round<br />

November 21, 1999<br />

The soccer Cats’ first NCAA appearance<br />

took place in Bloomington in 1999 on the campus<br />

<strong>of</strong> Indiana <strong>University</strong>. The second-seeded<br />

Hoosiers played host to <strong>Kentucky</strong>, which had<br />

won the MAC Championship to receive an<br />

automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The<br />

Wildcats stretched IU to the limit as the game<br />

remained scoreless for nearly two hours. In the<br />

second overtime, with the Cats down two men -<br />

one from injury and the other from ejection -<br />

Indiana finally got the decisive break when All-<br />

American Aleksey Korol scored the game-winning<br />

goal in the 113th minute <strong>of</strong><br />

play. The Cats ended their best season<br />

since 1995 by making it to<br />

their first-ever NCAA Tournament.<br />

The Hoosiers would go on<br />

to win the National Championship<br />

that season.<br />

2000 - First Round<br />

November 18, 2000<br />

In their second NCAA appearance,<br />

the Cats played at ninthranked<br />

Saint Louis in the first<br />

round <strong>of</strong> the 2000 NCAA Tournament.<br />

The Billikens outshot the<br />

Cats by a tally <strong>of</strong> 21-7, but were<br />

held scoreless by Brian O’Leary’s<br />

12 saves in front <strong>of</strong> a strong UK<br />

defense that chipped in with a pair<br />

<strong>of</strong> team saves. Four overtime periods<br />

could not decide the game,<br />

which entered the record books as a<br />

0-0 tie. Per NCAA rules, penalty<br />

kicks were required to break the<br />

150 minute deadlock, and<br />

O’Leary again shined,<br />

making two key saves and<br />

netting a PK <strong>of</strong> his own to<br />

help the Cats advance to<br />

the second round.<br />

2000 - Second Round<br />

November 25, 2000<br />

Making their first appearance in<br />

the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament,<br />

the Wildcats travelled to Dallas,<br />

Texas, to face Southern Methodist<br />

<strong>University</strong>. Muhammed Fahim, the<br />

nation’s leading scorer, led the sixthseeded<br />

Mustangs to a 1-0 halftime lead<br />

against the Cats. UK’s Ilkka Jantti captured<br />

the equalizer in the 74th minute,<br />

scoring <strong>Kentucky</strong>’s first-ever NCAA<br />

goal. SMU’s attack was relentless,<br />

though, and Fahim completed a hattrick<br />

late in the game to give SMU the<br />

3-1 victory.<br />

20<strong>01</strong> - First Round<br />

November 23, 20<strong>01</strong><br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> played its first neutral site<br />

NCAA match when the Cats traveled<br />

to Clemson, South Carolina, to face<br />

the Mercer Bears. The teams played to<br />

a scoreless tie in the first half, but UK<br />

came out quickly in the second half<br />

when Nathan Fleetwood assisted Scot Shewey<br />

for a goal in the 48th minute. The Wildcat<br />

defense blanked Mercer to help Greg Raber to<br />

his seventh shutout <strong>of</strong> the year, as UK advanced<br />

to the NCAA second-round with a 1-0 victory.<br />

20<strong>01</strong> - Second Round<br />

November 25, 20<strong>01</strong><br />

Fifth-seeded Clemson played host to the<br />

Cats in the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament.<br />

The match was even throughout,<br />

with neither team able to get on the board<br />

during regulation. Both teams had chances in<br />

the first two overtime periods, but neither<br />

squad could catch a break and the match<br />

eclipsed the two-hour mark. It wasn’t until the<br />

124th minute that the Tigers were able to<br />

finally find the back <strong>of</strong> the net. Kenneth Cutler<br />

scored the game-winning goal in the third<br />

overtime period.<br />

Brian O’Leary led the Cats to the second round<br />

<strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament with a<br />

12-save performance in 2000.<br />

2003 NCAA Tournament<br />

First Round<br />

T<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong>’s match against Cincinnati in<br />

the first round <strong>of</strong> the 2003 Division I<br />

Men’s Soccer Tournament was an instant classic.<br />

It was the first time UK had ever played host to<br />

a men’s soccer NCAA Tournament match and<br />

the 1,593 fans in attendance could not have<br />

asked for a better game.<br />

Cincinnati nearly grabbed an early lead in the<br />

match when Sam Miller received the opening<br />

kick<strong>of</strong>f and fired a shot at UK goalkeeper Andy<br />

Gruenebaum just 12 seconds into the game.<br />

Gruenebaum made a heads up play in the box to<br />

make the save, his first <strong>of</strong> five saves in regulation.<br />

“They came at us very hard and you could<br />

tell the difference in age and experience,”<br />

The <strong>Kentucky</strong> team awaits the fifth period <strong>of</strong> the<br />

game against Cincinnati - a shootout.<br />

Coach Ian Collins said. “They started 10<br />

juniors and seniors and we started one senior<br />

and a couple <strong>of</strong> juniors. Our boys were very<br />

nervous and tentative in the first half.”<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> managed to shake <strong>of</strong>f the initial<br />

butterflies to create several scoring opportunities<br />

<strong>of</strong> its own. Jamal Shteiwi attempted a free kick<br />

from 23 yards out in the 20th minute that just<br />

missed the right post. In the second half, Olli<br />

Lehtimaki missed wide-right from the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

box in the 49th minute <strong>of</strong> action. Both teams<br />

played stifling defense throughout and the match<br />

went into overtime with the teams tied, 0-0.<br />

The match eventually went into a shootout period<br />

after 110 minutes <strong>of</strong> scoreless soccer. After<br />

Cincinnati goalkeeper John Adams stopped UK’s<br />

first attempt, Gruenebaum made the save <strong>of</strong> his life<br />

on the Bearcats’ first shot. The sophomore goalkeeper<br />

made a diving save <strong>of</strong>f his fingertips to deny<br />

Wiremu Patrick from giving Cincy a 1-0 advantage.<br />

“(Andy’s) first save was world class,” Collins<br />

said. “That would have belonged in the World<br />

Cup. It was the greatest save I’ve ever seen in my<br />

life. It was unbelievable.”<br />

Gruenebaum added another save on Cincinnati’s<br />

third attempt and Joey Gaworecki iced<br />

the game for <strong>Kentucky</strong> on the team’s fifth and<br />

final attempt following goals by Chris Austin,<br />

Jamal Shteiwi and Nathan Li. UK won the<br />

shootout session, 4-2, and advanced to the second<br />

round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA Tournament for the<br />

third time in four years.<br />

“I’m happy for our players,” Collins said.<br />

“We have all the faith in the world in Andy and<br />

tonight he showed what he can do. I hate to see<br />

the game end like this, but those are the rules.<br />

Somebody has to win and advance to the next<br />

round. I challenged our players at halftime to<br />

Andy Gruenebaum’s first save in the shootout<br />

against Cincinnati was called<br />

“world-class” by Coach Ian Collins.<br />

step-up and represent our team, each other, the<br />

<strong>University</strong> and the people in the state who paid to<br />

watch them play better and I think they responded<br />

in a positive way.”<br />

Second Round<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> traveled to Bloomington to meet<br />

No. 5 Indiana in the second round <strong>of</strong> the NCAA<br />

Tournament. The Hoosiers outshot the Cats, but<br />

Andy Gruenebaum recorded five saves and made<br />

several key plays in the box to stymie IU scoring<br />

opportunities throughout the game.<br />

UK got on the board first in the 27th<br />

minute when freshman Riley O’Neill netted<br />

his seventh goal <strong>of</strong> the season. Jamal Shteiwi<br />

setup the score by whipping the ball across the<br />

box that found O’Neill who fired a shot into<br />

the lower left-hand corner past Indiana goalkeeper<br />

Jay Nolly. The Cats held a 1-0 advantage<br />

until Indiana freshman Jacob Peterson<br />

scored the equalizer from six yards out to tie<br />

the match just before halftime.<br />

In the second half <strong>Kentucky</strong> turned up the<br />

pressure on defense and limited<br />

IU to three shots on goal. However,<br />

the Cats could not find a way<br />

to score and the game went into<br />

overtime tied, 1-1.<br />

The game took on a much<br />

different look in overtime when a<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> player was issued a red<br />

card and disqualified four minutes<br />

into the session. The UK<br />

defense unit continued to hold<br />

strong and forced the game into a<br />

second overtime period. Finally,<br />

Indiana’s Greg Badger scored in<br />

heavy traffic in the 106th minute<br />

and the Hoosiers advanced to the<br />

third round with a 2-1 victory.<br />

“I’m real proud <strong>of</strong> our team,”<br />

Collins said after the match.<br />

“They overcame a lot <strong>of</strong> adversity.<br />

My kids gave every ounce <strong>of</strong><br />

effort we asked <strong>of</strong> them and this<br />

is a difficult place to play.”<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

The Mid-American Conference<br />

was founded as a five-school<br />

league in 1946 with Ohio, Butler,<br />

Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western<br />

Reserve as the charter members.<br />

In 58 years, the MAC has<br />

stood the test <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

The Mid-American Conference<br />

Soccer League, now with seven teams, consists<br />

<strong>of</strong> Akron, Bowling Green State, Buffalo, <strong>Kentucky</strong>,<br />

Marshall, Northern Illinois and Western<br />

Michigan.<br />

As the nation's sixth-oldest Division I conference,<br />

the MAC has been among national<br />

trendsetters. The MAC has been in the forefront<br />

<strong>of</strong> national legislation that has enhanced<br />

the academic integrity <strong>of</strong> intercollegiate athletics.<br />

The MAC strengthened admittance<br />

standards, established an academic progress<br />

rule and set increased grade point average<br />

requirements long before the NCAA adopted<br />

or discussed implementing such academic<br />

standards.<br />

Mid-American Conference<br />

Over its 58 years, the MAC<br />

has produced a long list <strong>of</strong> great<br />

athletes from all sports - a list<br />

that includes Olympic gold<br />

medalists and MLB, NFL and<br />

NBA standouts.<br />

The MAC Soccer League also<br />

has produced a number <strong>of</strong><br />

nationally respected athletes. In 2002, several<br />

MAC players were named All-Region selections<br />

by the National Soccer Coaches Association<br />

<strong>of</strong> America:<br />

• Jamal Shteiwi <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

• Cameron Knowles and Alex Odwell <strong>of</strong><br />

Akron<br />

• Jeff Hughes and Scott Duhl <strong>of</strong> Western<br />

Michigan<br />

The 2003 season was an historic year for<br />

the MAC as three teams from the conference<br />

received bids to the NCAA Tournament for<br />

the first time in league history. Western<br />

Michigan earned the automatic bid by winning<br />

the MAC tournament, while <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

and Akron received at-large selections. The<br />

Cats tied Cincinnati 0-0 and advanced on<br />

penalty kicks, 4-2, in the first round before<br />

losing to eventual champion Indiana in round<br />

two. The Zips advanced to the third round <strong>of</strong><br />

the NCAA Tournament before being ousted<br />

by Maryland, 1-0.<br />

The 2004 MAC quarterfinals and semifinals<br />

will be held Nov. 7-9 at Western Michigan <strong>University</strong><br />

in Kalamazoo. The MAC Championship<br />

game to be held the following weekend at the site<br />

<strong>of</strong> the higher remaining seed.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> has made a major impact in its nine<br />

years in the league. The Wildcats have finished in<br />

first or second place in the standings in seven <strong>of</strong><br />

those seasons, claiming the crown in three <strong>of</strong> the<br />

past four years. UK has advanced to at least the<br />

semifinals <strong>of</strong> the conference tournament each<br />

year and won the championship three times. UK<br />

holds a winning record over four <strong>of</strong> the other six<br />

schools in the league and is second in the conference<br />

all-time versus MAC opponents with a .755<br />

winning percentage.<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

(below) The 20<strong>01</strong> UK men’s soccer team<br />

was the first squad to win the<br />

MAC regular season title outright.<br />

History <strong>of</strong> UK Soccer<br />

(R-L) Ilkka Jantti and<br />

senior Greg Raber were<br />

honored at a men’s basketball<br />

game for their<br />

outstanding achievements<br />

in 20<strong>01</strong>.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> men's soccer program<br />

has steadily climbed to the level <strong>of</strong> the<br />

nation's elite since it was established on June 1,<br />

1991. The Wildcats have been a force on the<br />

regional and national scene, posting a 146-104-21<br />

all-time record and advancing to the finals or semifinals<br />

<strong>of</strong> the league tournament every season since<br />

joining the Mid-American Conference in 1995.<br />

UK's soccer program has produced highlight<br />

after highlight, from its 1995 1-0 win over Indiana<br />

in Bloomington to its 2-1 win over MACrival<br />

Bowling Green in 1997 in front <strong>of</strong> 3,003<br />

screaming Wildcats fans at the UK Soccer Complex.<br />

From Coach Sam Wooten's first Cats squad<br />

in 1991 to Coach Ian Collins' three consecutive<br />

NCAA Tournament appearances from 1999-<br />

20<strong>01</strong>, it has been an exciting 13 years.<br />

When UK soccer became a varsity sport on<br />

June 1, 1991, Lexington native Sam Wooten took<br />

the helm. He had served as the Cats' coach during<br />

UK's club soccer<br />

days, and he was the<br />

natural choice to lead<br />

the new varsity squad.<br />

Known for his big,<br />

physical squads,<br />

Wooten racked up a<br />

28-25-7 record in three seasons at the reins.<br />

From 1991 to 1996, the Cats called The Cage<br />

home. The Cage Soccer Field, which stood where<br />

UK's Boone Tennis Center now stands, placed<br />

fans just feet from the pitch and the Cats fans<br />

gave UK a tremendous home field advantage. In<br />

its five-and-a-half seasons at The Cage, UK put<br />

up an impressive 34-17-8 home mark.<br />

In 1994, Ian Collins was brought in by then-<br />

UK <strong>Athletics</strong> Director C.M. Newton to lead the<br />

UK soccer Cats. In his nine years, Collins has<br />

taken the UK program to new heights, leading<br />

UK to a 118-78-14 mark. Under Collins, the<br />

Cats have been consistent MAC title contenders,<br />

winning the conference tournament title from<br />

1999-20<strong>01</strong> and the regular-season title in '<strong>01</strong>,<br />

'02, and '03 and rolling up a 40-11-3 (14-6 tour-<br />

nament) MAC mark during the past eight seasons.<br />

In 20<strong>01</strong>, the Cats ran through the league<br />

with a perfect 6-0-0 record. UK repeated the feet<br />

in 2003 and became the first team in conference<br />

history to go through the regular season without<br />

relinquishing a goal.<br />

Collins also was instrumental in the construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> the UK Soccer Complex. Opened on<br />

Oct. 24, 1996, the Complex houses a playing<br />

field, a practice field and locker rooms. UK has<br />

been dominant on its new turf, going 38-14-7 in<br />

five-plus seasons.<br />

In addition to its successful teams, the UK soccer<br />

program also has developed a talented group <strong>of</strong><br />

players in its short history. Since joining the MAC<br />

in 1995, UK has produced 37 All-MAC selections<br />

and four MAC Newcomers <strong>of</strong> the Year. UK also<br />

has been the training ground for 21 NSCAA All-<br />

Region selections and one All-American.<br />

Fernandes, a Cat from<br />

1997-2000, was a<br />

three-time All-MAC and<br />

two-time All-Mid East<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Rarely does a player come along who makes<br />

an impact like the one made by Ilkka Jantti.<br />

The Lahti, Finland, native came to the Bluegrass<br />

expecting to make an impact, but few likely<br />

imagined the success he and the Cats would<br />

achieve in his four years at <strong>Kentucky</strong>.<br />

In Jantti’s four seasons, UK claimed a 50-31-<br />

4 record, three Mid-American Conference Tournament<br />

titles, two MAC regular-season crowns<br />

and one NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance. Individually,<br />

Jantti proved to be the Cats’ “All-Everything”.<br />

As a freshman, he was voted MAC<br />

Newcomer <strong>of</strong> the Year by the league’s coaches.<br />

And, as a senior he was second-team National<br />

Soccer Coaches’ Association <strong>of</strong> America All-<br />

American and a first-team Verizon Academic All-<br />

American to go along with his four all-region,<br />

four All-MAC, three All-MAC Academic and<br />

three All-Southeastern Conference academic<br />

selections. Jantti graduated in May and was married<br />

in June. He is currently playing soccer in<br />

Finland, where he is the captain <strong>of</strong> F.C. Viikingit<br />

in the Finnish First Division.<br />

Dr. Lee T. Todd Jr.<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> President<br />

Lee T. Todd Jr. became the 11th<br />

president <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> on July 1, 20<strong>01</strong>, after serving<br />

as senior vice president <strong>of</strong> Lotus<br />

Development Corp. President Todd<br />

is the fourth UK alumnus to hold the<br />

presidency and the first to earn an<br />

undergraduate degree from UK.<br />

Since assuming the leadership <strong>of</strong><br />

the university, President Todd has<br />

overseen the conversion <strong>of</strong> the university from a<br />

chancellor system to the provost model and has<br />

directed the consolidation <strong>of</strong> several colleges and<br />

campus units to eliminate duplication <strong>of</strong> course<br />

studies and improve the overall quality <strong>of</strong> academics.<br />

President Todd has applied his background<br />

as a successful, high tech entrepreneur by emphasizing<br />

the university's role as an economic engine.<br />

At UK, President Todd's vision for campus<br />

growth led to a record enrollment <strong>of</strong> more than<br />

35,000 students in fall 2003. The freshman class<br />

also was the most academically talented group in<br />

UK's history. He successfully led the charge to<br />

provide scholarships to all <strong>Kentucky</strong> Governors<br />

Scholars and Governor's School for the Arts students<br />

and continues to work on increasing overall<br />

scholarship funding.<br />

Through his belief that "the campus <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> is the Commonwealth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>,"<br />

President Todd has made community<br />

outreach a priority at the university. Under his leadership,<br />

UK was awarded a $22 million<br />

grant from the National Science Foundation<br />

to improve math and science education<br />

in Eastern <strong>Kentucky</strong>. He also<br />

developed the Health Education<br />

through Extension Leadership (HEEL)<br />

program, a partnership between the College<br />

<strong>of</strong> Medicine and its School <strong>of</strong> Public<br />

Health and the College <strong>of</strong> Agriculture<br />

and its Cooperative Extension Service, to<br />

assist in delivering valuable health and wellness<br />

information throughout the Commonwealth.<br />

President Todd is noted as an outstanding<br />

leader who emphasizes students, strategic planning,<br />

and accountability. He has been particularly<br />

active and successful in working with student<br />

entrepreneurs, starting an e-Club on campus and<br />

participating with the Lexington Venture Club.<br />

A native <strong>of</strong> Earlington, Ky., he earned his bachelor's<br />

degree in electrical engineering from UK in<br />

1968 and his master's and doctoral degrees in electrical<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

Mitch Barnhart<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong><br />

Mitch Barnhart enters his third<br />

year as Director <strong>of</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong> for<br />

the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> having set<br />

a clear course for making <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

one <strong>of</strong> the top athletics programs in<br />

the country.<br />

When UK President Lee T. Todd<br />

Jr. selected Barnhart on July 15, 2002,<br />

Todd proclaimed: “Mitch has deep<br />

passion for working with students,<br />

and his philosophies are very much in sync with<br />

mine on how to run this program. I believe he has<br />

a well-thought-out vision on how to move our<br />

athletics department forward.”<br />

And, that vision has become a beacon for the<br />

coaches, staff and student-athletes who are inspired<br />

and motivated by Barnhart’s direction. In two years,<br />

he has hired five new head coaches, including Rich<br />

Brooks (football), Mickie DeMoss (women’s basketball),<br />

John Cohen (baseball), Mo Muhammad<br />

(gymnastics) and Eileen Schmidt (s<strong>of</strong>tball).<br />

Barnhart has also instructed his staff to seek<br />

out new revenue streams, and that has resulted in<br />

the <strong>Athletics</strong> Board’s approval <strong>of</strong> fund raising for<br />

a new multi-purpose recruiting room that will be<br />

attached to the Nutter Field House and an expansion<br />

<strong>of</strong> Memorial Coliseum that includes new<br />

practice and <strong>of</strong>fice space.<br />

His success is based on a five-principle philosophy<br />

that he implemented for the <strong>University</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong> the day he was hired.<br />

• Operate in a first-class manner<br />

• Possess great integrity<br />

• Keep the focus on the student-athletes<br />

• Provide sound fiscal management<br />

• Compete for championships in all sports<br />

Those principles have been the<br />

guiding force as UK has fully-staffed<br />

all sports,<br />

Barnhart’s connection to UK’s<br />

student-athlete is evident by his<br />

personal interaction and commitment<br />

to provide all support services<br />

necessary to meet the needs<br />

<strong>of</strong> these students. UK spends<br />

$1.5 million annually on its<br />

nationally-renowned CATS Academic Center.<br />

Spring 2004 marked the second-annual<br />

CATSPYs, an awards program designed to<br />

recognize the very best in UK <strong>Athletics</strong>.<br />

Other initiatives begun under Barnhart’s leadership<br />

include the Big Blue Caravan, which connect<br />

UK to its vast fan base each spring, a<br />

revamping <strong>of</strong> UK’s donor program that has<br />

resulted in record K Fund dollars, and a 10-year,<br />

$10-million commitment to fund the <strong>University</strong>’s<br />

general scholarship program.<br />

Barnhart came to <strong>Kentucky</strong> from Oregon State,<br />

where he served four years (1998-2002) as athletics<br />

director. A strong effort in fiscal management<br />

helped reduce the Beavers’ operating debt from<br />

$12.5 million to $4.8 million during his tenure.<br />

He also raised $20 million in capital contributions<br />

for new baseball and s<strong>of</strong>tball stadiums, an indoor<br />

practice center and a basketball arena renovation.<br />

Before his tenure at OSU, he worked at<br />

Tennessee for 12 years (1986-98), the last<br />

four as Senior Associate <strong>Athletics</strong> Director.<br />

Before his term at UT, Barnhart served as<br />

assistant executive director <strong>of</strong> the Mustang<br />

Club at Southern Methodist <strong>University</strong> from<br />

1983 to 1986; regional director for the Duck<br />

The Barnhart Family (L-R): Kirby, Connie,<br />

Mitch, Blaire and Scott.<br />

Athletic Fund at <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Oregon in<br />

1983; and was an intern for the Aztec Athletic<br />

Foundation at San Diego State <strong>University</strong><br />

in 1982-1983.<br />

Barnhart, 45, is a native <strong>of</strong> Kansas City, Kan.<br />

He received his bachelor <strong>of</strong> arts degree from<br />

Ottawa <strong>University</strong> (Kansas) in 1981 and a master<br />

<strong>of</strong> science degree in sports administration from<br />

Ohio <strong>University</strong> in 1982.<br />

He and his wife, the former Connie Brown,<br />

have three children, Kirby, 16, Blaire, 13, and<br />

Scott, 10.<br />

Mission<br />

Since the mid-1990s, UK has pursued an<br />

ambitious goal set by the State Legislature to<br />

become a top-20 public research university by the<br />

year 2020. UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. has<br />

embraced this goal in a way that promises an<br />

impact on every <strong>Kentucky</strong> resident.<br />

"As the state's flagship institution, the university<br />

is mindful <strong>of</strong> its responsibility to help all Kentuckians,"<br />

Todd says. "UK has an obligation to be<br />

inclusive and accessible to all segments <strong>of</strong> our<br />

society by providing scholarships and financial<br />

assistance to ease the tuition burden. Through<br />

education, <strong>Kentucky</strong> will move forward."<br />

The university is working aggressively to<br />

achieve its top-20 goal. During fiscal year<br />

2003, UK faculty received a record-breaking<br />

total <strong>of</strong> $222.7 million in extramural funding<br />

for grants and contracts, including a $22 million<br />

grant from the National Science Foundation<br />

secondary education in math and science in<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong>. The achievement marked the second<br />

year in a row UK exceeded the $200 million<br />

level in sponsored project awards<br />

and placed the university 52nd<br />

on the National Science Foundation's<br />

list <strong>of</strong> all institutions and<br />

Ohio Casualty Center for Academics<br />

and Tutorial Services (CATS)<br />

Former Soccer Cat Chris McAlpine<br />

and the men’s soccer team address<br />

fourth and fifth-graders at the Schoolhouse<br />

Rock academic pep rally.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s soccer team<br />

has a tradition <strong>of</strong> excellence on and <strong>of</strong>f the field.<br />

In 2002, Chris Austin made the Mid-American<br />

Conference Academic Honor Roll, and nine UK<br />

players received the honor the previous year. UK also<br />

is a member <strong>of</strong> the Southeastern Conference and had<br />

13 men’s soccer players named to the SEC Academic<br />

Honor Roll in 20<strong>01</strong>-02. Nationally, in 1999 and<br />

20<strong>01</strong>, the UK men’s soccer team’s combined GPA<br />

ranked in the top 10 as compiled by the National<br />

Soccer Coaches Association <strong>of</strong> America.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the reasons for UK’s academic achievements<br />

is the Ohio Casualty Center for Academic &<br />

Tutorial Services (CATS). The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

opened the nation’s first academic center for<br />

student-athletes in 1981.<br />

Over the years, the services <strong>of</strong>fered by CATS have<br />

grown, and so has the need for additional space. UK<br />

responded by constructing a new CATS area, which<br />

opened in January 1998. The facility is called the<br />

vices, thanks to a one million dollar grant from the<br />

Ohio Casualty Insurance Group.<br />

The Ohio Casualty Center cost a total <strong>of</strong> $2.4<br />

million and was constructed in the old Memorial<br />

pool area. The new CATS includes:<br />

•20,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> space - more than double the<br />

size <strong>of</strong> the former CATS facility;<br />

•a computer room housing 35 computers;<br />

•a study area which accommodates 90-100 people;<br />

•24 tutoring rooms;<br />

•a career development and life skills resource<br />

center;<br />

•a community outreach <strong>of</strong>fice; and<br />

•<strong>of</strong>fices for the staff.<br />

Certainly, a facility is a good start, but any program<br />

- especially in academics - is only as good as the<br />

people who run it. And UK is fortunate to have outstanding<br />

leaders in its academics support system.<br />

Bob Bradley, Associate <strong>Athletics</strong> Director for Student<br />

Services, oversees the CATS program. Bradley<br />

was named National Academic Advisor <strong>of</strong> the Year in<br />

1989 and 1992.<br />

CATS has a full-time<br />

staff <strong>of</strong> 11. In addition to<br />

Bradley, they are:<br />

• Barb Deniston,<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Academic Services;<br />

• Mike Haley,<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Advising Services;<br />

• Amy Craiglow, Dan Childs,<br />

Lisa Mattingly, Beth Kidwell and<br />

Michael Stone Academic Counselors;<br />

• Martina Martin, Lifeskills Coordinator;<br />

• D’Ann Blankenship and<br />

Andrea Tinsley, Staff Assistants.<br />

“There are not many schools across the<br />

country that can boast <strong>of</strong> having an academic<br />

facility like the CATS Center. CATS<br />

shows that the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> is<br />

committed to having its student-athletes succeed<br />

not only on the playing field, but in the<br />

classroom and in life as well.”<br />

- Coach Ian Collins<br />

Student-athletes have access to a state <strong>of</strong> the art<br />

computer lab for use with writing papers, doing<br />

research and other class assignments.<br />

CATS also employs numerous tutors, from both<br />

the <strong>University</strong> and the surrounding community. UK<br />

has budgeted more than $1 million for the operation<br />

<strong>of</strong> CATS in the coming year.<br />

“We are extremely proud <strong>of</strong> what we have<br />

accomplished in the academic arena,” Bradley says.<br />

“The CATS program is focused on winning in the<br />

classroom. We look at each student-athlete’s individual<br />

needs, set goals and develop strategies to attain<br />

those goals. Our center provides our student-athletes<br />

with a definite advantage over student-athletes<br />

at many other institutions. Our goal is to show that<br />

we care about the student as well as the athlete.”<br />

For the CATS staff, showing you care means more<br />

than helping athletes maintain eligibility, graduate or<br />

win awards. The academics staff also prepares student-athletes<br />

for life after college with the Wildcat<br />

Career Development Program.<br />

The Career Development Program helps studentathletes<br />

look to the future through a step-by-step<br />

process, which includes:<br />

• mentoring and internships, which help<br />

determine career interests;<br />

• career counseling;<br />

• resume writing; and<br />

• forming a career plan.<br />

The Wildcat Career Development Program<br />

works closely with the <strong>University</strong>’s Career Planning<br />

and Placement Center in order to provide additional<br />

assistance when needed.<br />

The philosophy at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

is this: Colleges should be able to provide<br />

the student-athlete with every<br />

opportunity to succeed not only in athletics,<br />

but in academics as well. Looking to recent<br />

statistics in Academic Honor Roll Selections<br />

and graduation rates, it is clear that <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

is standing by its philosophy.<br />

(left) Almost 3,500 elementary school children invaded Memorial Coliseum on April 3,<br />

2002, for the fourth annual Schoolhouse Rock. The floor rumbled and the rafters shook as<br />

each group <strong>of</strong> student-athletes took the stage. The athletes performed skits that delivered the<br />

stay-in-school, <strong>of</strong>f-<strong>of</strong>-drugs and make-the-right-decisions message that is what Schoolhouse<br />

Rock is all about. The kids had a good time and so did the athletes.<br />

Development Program<br />

provides career assistance<br />

to all student-athletes<br />

beginning with major and<br />

career advising with<br />

freshmen and sophomores<br />

and concludes with career<br />

placement for juniors and<br />

seniors. However, a major<br />

focus <strong>of</strong> the program will<br />

be to assist students in<br />

obtaining shadowing and<br />

internship positions related<br />

to their majors. CATS also<br />

provides a resume web site<br />

<strong>of</strong> all senior studentathletes<br />

that can be<br />

accessed by more than<br />

11,000 companies. These<br />

activities will benefit the<br />

Outreach<br />

Buddy Program<br />

(College <strong>of</strong> Education)<br />

Student-athletes serve as role models for elementary<br />

students at local schools. Athletes help<br />

younger students develop self-esteem through<br />

weekly interaction.<br />

Celebrity Hospital Visitor<br />

Student-athletes visit patients at local hospitals,<br />

including rehabilitation facilities and veterans<br />

hospitals.<br />

Comprehensive Care<br />

Student-athletes talk to 12-15-year-old emotionally<br />

disturbed youths about goal setting.<br />

Copi-Cat Pen Pal<br />

Student-athletes who are matched with elementary<br />

students correspond throughout the academic<br />

year. As a pen pal to an elementary<br />

student, athletes encourage students to read.<br />

D.A.R.E. Graduation Speaker<br />

Student-athletes give motivational speeches to<br />

youth as part <strong>of</strong> the Drug Awareness Resistance<br />

Education Program.<br />

UK student-athletes are involved with numerous outreach programs around<br />

Lexington through “Cats that Care.”<br />

It is a privilege to be a student-athlete at a<br />

major university. Among the benefits that<br />

student-athletes enjoy are significant learning<br />

experiences that teach important life lessons.<br />

None is more important than learning to return<br />

that benefit to individuals in the community<br />

that have supported and cheered the studentathlete,<br />

win or lose.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> has a community<br />

outreach program that, when initiated a<br />

decade ago, was intended to provide support for<br />

young people. The program was viewed as a<br />

“one-way” effort with the student-athlete giving<br />

and the community and schools receiving. But<br />

as the “Cats That Care” program has grown,<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the most notable results is what the student-athletes<br />

learn about themselves – they really<br />

do receive by giving.<br />

The athletic department’s community outreach<br />

program began in 1990 when, in cooperation<br />

with the College <strong>of</strong> Education, UK<br />

student-athletes “adopted” the fifth-grade class<br />

at a local school. The program matched UK student-athletes<br />

one-on-one with school children,<br />

who in turn, set goals while the student-athletes<br />

monitored their progress and assisted the children<br />

in achieving their stated objectives.<br />

The program was highly successful and continues<br />

today. “Cats That Care” has expanded and now<br />

includes many worthwhile projects, including:<br />

AmeriCorps:<br />

Athletes in Service to America<br />

This program addresses the issues <strong>of</strong> school<br />

success and violence prevention in hopes <strong>of</strong> keeping<br />

youth on the right track. It is sponsored by<br />

the UK <strong>Athletics</strong> Association, the Center for the<br />

Study <strong>of</strong> Sport in Society, and AmeriCorps, a<br />

national service project designed to help communities<br />

meet their education, public safety,<br />

human or environmental needs through service.<br />

Ten former UK student-athletes are assigned to<br />

two elementary schools, one middle school and<br />

one high school. The corps members work<br />

between 30-35 hours each week, serving as mentors,<br />

facilitators and instructors. The corps members<br />

also conduct interactive workshops in the<br />

areas <strong>of</strong> media literacy, conflict resolution, cultural<br />

diversity and the prevention <strong>of</strong> violence<br />

against women. The presentations are conducted<br />

at local schools, community agencies and summer<br />

youth programs.<br />

Hospital Breakfast with Santa<br />

Each year, UK student-athletes assist the UK<br />

Children’s Hospital with a special Christmas<br />

breakfast for children at the hospital.<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> Excel Mentor Program<br />

UK student-athletes serve as mentors for high<br />

school students participating in the program. It<br />

provides scholarships for students who complete<br />

the program.<br />

Partners for Youth<br />

UK student-athletes helped the Partners for<br />

Youth organization hold a summer festival for<br />

Lexington children.<br />

School Speaker<br />

Student-athletes visit a number <strong>of</strong> local<br />

schools, speaking to children on a variety <strong>of</strong> topics,<br />

including the importance <strong>of</strong> an education,<br />

staying <strong>of</strong>f drugs and promoting reading.<br />

Schoolhouse Rock<br />

An “academic pep rally” in which UK studentathletes<br />

encourage youngsters in academic and social<br />

skills through a variety <strong>of</strong> interactive skits and performances.<br />

More than 2,000 fourth and fifth graders,<br />

representing approximately 15 Central <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

schools, come to Memorial Coliseum each spring.<br />

2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

In addition to providing the finest in athletic<br />

facilities, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

also provides student-athletes with<br />

the best in academic facilities. One <strong>of</strong> the<br />

most recent additions to the educational<br />

landscape at UK is the $58 million William<br />

T. Young Library.<br />

• Size: The library covers 365,350 square feet<br />

- more than six football fields. The building<br />

is five stories high, plus a basement.<br />

• Shelf capacity: If laid end-to-end, the bookshelf<br />

space would stretch 198,828 linear feet -<br />

that’s more than 37 miles <strong>of</strong> shelf space. The<br />

shelves will house 1.2 million books.<br />

William T. Young Library<br />

• Seating capacity: The library can seat<br />

more than 4,000 patrons at one time, a<br />

355 percent increase over the old library.<br />

The seating on the fifth floor <strong>of</strong> the new<br />

library equals the capacity <strong>of</strong> the former<br />

library.<br />

• Computer connections: Every study<br />

table and study carrel in the library has<br />

an electrical outlet and a computer jack<br />

connected to the university’s computer<br />

system. Virtually the entire library has wireless<br />

coverage.<br />

• Flexibility: The library has a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />

electronic infrastructure that will enable UK<br />

to take full advantage <strong>of</strong> current and emerging<br />

technology. In addition, the five floors<br />

and basement <strong>of</strong> the structure are designed as<br />

open, flexible spaces, enabling the library to<br />

adapt its services and facilities to the future<br />

changes in needs <strong>of</strong> UK<br />

students.<br />

• Endowment: The UK<br />

Library has the nation’s<br />

The William T.<br />

Young Library<br />

opened in April<br />

1998.<br />

largest book endowment among public universities<br />

and ranks second only to Harvard.<br />

Nutter Field House<br />

T<br />

he <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong> Department<br />

is at the forefront <strong>of</strong> college athletics in<br />

terms <strong>of</strong> indoor practice facilities. Along with the<br />

UK Soccer Complex, UK also boasts the Nutter<br />

Field House, an $8.5 million climate-controlled<br />

structure that is used for winter conditioning.<br />

The indoor facility features an artificial turf<br />

football playing field <strong>of</strong> 108,000 square feet, surrounded<br />

by a six-lane, 290-meter track.<br />

Nutter Field House gives the<br />

UK men’s soccer team a climate-controlled<br />

training facility.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the most unique features <strong>of</strong> this<br />

132,000-square foot, multi-million dollar showplace<br />

is the electronic netting system. The system<br />

allows for different combinations <strong>of</strong> sports to<br />

practice safely and simultaneously by dividing the<br />

playing field into multiple practice areas. During<br />

the fall season, the men’s soccer team has priority<br />

for training during inclement weather.<br />

“The Nutter Field House is such a boost to<br />

our program,” Coach Ian Collins said. “The<br />

indoor field gives us a great place to work out in<br />

the winter and the padded turf is a lot easier on<br />

our players’ bodies. And with the netting system,<br />

we can have space any time we want it.”<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> is committed<br />

to providing its student-athletes with the<br />

very best in athletics facilities. The <strong>University</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> Soccer Complex is evidence <strong>of</strong><br />

that dedication.<br />

The stadium, which opened in late 1996, is<br />

part <strong>of</strong> a complex that houses a game field, a practice<br />

field, locker rooms and a training room. Since<br />

its opening, the Complex has played host to some<br />

<strong>of</strong> the largest crowds to see MAC soccer action,<br />

including the 1998 MAC Tournament. UK also<br />

hosted the 1999 and 20<strong>01</strong> MAC Championship<br />

games, which the Wildcats won to earn an automatic<br />

bid to the NCAA Tournament.<br />

The stadium features grandstand seating for<br />

more than 1,500 fans. However, with temporary<br />

seating, the stadium’s capacity exceeds<br />

3,000, as evidenced by the crowd <strong>of</strong> 3,003 that<br />

saw the Cats defeat Bowling Green, 2-1, on<br />

Oct. 10, 1997. UK ranked 19th in the nation<br />

in attendance during the 20<strong>01</strong> home campaign.<br />

The grandstand also houses a spacious press<br />

box for use by the media and pr<strong>of</strong>essional scouts<br />

who visit UK.<br />

The Complex features a lighted international<br />

regulation-sized playing field <strong>of</strong> lush Bermuda<br />

grass. The surface is a modified sand-based<br />

field with an in-ground irrigation system for<br />

drainage <strong>of</strong> rainwater and a sprinkler system<br />

that allows the UK grounds crew to keep the<br />

field in top playing condition throughout the<br />

year. The system makes the field safer and more<br />

playable in a rain-soaked game.<br />

The combination <strong>of</strong> sandy soil and irrigation<br />

allows UK grounds keepers to maintain a healthy<br />

and vigorous playing surface. The field is mowed<br />

every day with a mower designed for golf fairways,<br />

which results in a field that rivals those <strong>of</strong><br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional soccer.<br />

The combination <strong>of</strong> practice field and<br />

lighted game field makes the UK Complex one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the nation’s top soccer facilities.<br />

Shively Sports Complex<br />

& Nutter Training Center<br />

Shively Sports Complex and Nutter Training Center are multi-million dollar training centers for the Soccer Cats.<br />

The <strong>Kentucky</strong> men's soccer team calls Shively<br />

Training Center its home for strength and<br />

conditioning. The 2,000-square foot complex is<br />

under the direction <strong>of</strong> Coach Stephanie Tracey<br />

and features a variety <strong>of</strong> free weight equipment,<br />

which complements the training philosophy <strong>of</strong><br />

the Shively staff.<br />

"Our top goal is to create a comprehensive training<br />

program, which encompasses the areas <strong>of</strong> speed,<br />

power, strength, agility, flexibility, balance and nutrition,"<br />

Tracey said. "Through these avenues, we are<br />

providing the athletes with the tools they need to<br />

reach their athletic potential while<br />

remaining injury-free."<br />

The primary focus <strong>of</strong> the facility<br />

is the development <strong>of</strong> core<br />

strength using ground-based,<br />

multi-joint lifting through use <strong>of</strong><br />

the Olympic lifts. By incorporating<br />

this explosive style <strong>of</strong> lifting,<br />

athletes become more powerful,<br />

resulting in an increase in speed.<br />

The core <strong>of</strong> the athlete's body also<br />

is trained and complemented with<br />

a variety <strong>of</strong> lifts, including squats,<br />

lunges, plyometrics, presses, pulls,<br />

trunk rotation and abdominal<br />

exercises. Through the combination<br />

<strong>of</strong> these exercises, the athletes<br />

are better able to reach their goals.<br />

"We have two goals in the<br />

physical preparation <strong>of</strong> our student-athletes,"<br />

Coach Collins<br />

said. "First, we want them to be as<br />

fit and as healthy as possible in<br />

order to prevent injury. Second,<br />

we want them to be in a position<br />

to compete physically at the highest<br />

level. Obviously, these two<br />

goals go hand-in-hand."<br />

72 • ukathletics.com


2004 Men’s Soccer<br />

The Shively Sport Complex weight room<br />

includes state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art equipment, from free<br />

weights to Nautilus machines.<br />

Another major focus <strong>of</strong> the strength staff is the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> sport-specific speed, agility and<br />

conditioning. This facet <strong>of</strong> training is organized<br />

through different types <strong>of</strong> footwork patterns, drills<br />

and linear fitness. While nearly all <strong>of</strong> UK's<br />

Olympic sports teams train at Shively, they also<br />

take part in "Speed School," a twice-weekly sevenweek<br />

training session in Nutter Field House.<br />

With the help <strong>of</strong> staff nutritionist Jill Kindy,<br />

the Shively staff also helps educate the athletes on<br />

nutrition and supplement awareness.<br />

Every squad trains together at Shively, promoting<br />

team chemistry and teamwork.<br />

Through this set-up, teams work on mental<br />

toughness, attacking goals and maintaining a<br />

positive attitude, keeping everyone moving<br />

toward a common goal.<br />

"Shively gives our players a great place to<br />

improve strength and fitness," Collins said. "The<br />

difference really shows out on the field."<br />

The UK training staff organizes a regimented set<br />

<strong>of</strong> gender- and sport-specific workouts for <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

athletes.<br />

The men’s soccer team participates in many<br />

top tournaments in the country each year which<br />

allows its players to play many <strong>of</strong> the top teams in<br />

the country. In recent seasons, the Cats<br />

have played at the IU Classic (Indiana,<br />

Butler), the FIU Golden Panther Classic<br />

(Florida International, Furman), the<br />

IPFW Soccer Showcase (South Carolina,<br />

UAB), the Nike/Carolina Classic<br />

(North Carolina, UNC Greensboro)<br />

and the Ohio State/Nike Classic (Ohio<br />

State, Penn State).<br />

<strong>Kentucky</strong> will begin its road to the<br />

Final Four in Dallas with some tough<br />

contests on the road. The Cats open<br />

the 2003 season at the IPFW Soccer<br />

Showcase for a pair <strong>of</strong> exhibition matches where<br />

they will play Indiana and Michigan State. The<br />

first two weekends <strong>of</strong> the season will see the <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />

team play at the Virginia Soccer Classic<br />

(Virginia, Maryland) and at the Furman Invitational<br />

(Creighton, Butler).<br />

The Cats visited Niagara Falls on their trip to<br />
