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 />
Schedule<br />
Collins and the No. 22 <strong>Kentucky</strong> men’s soccer<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 />
American High School Athlete<br />
Award.<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 />

The Wildcats were a perfect 6-0-0 in Mid-American Conference play in<br />
2003, without allowing a single goal, to claim the outright title.<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 />
The Wildcats tore through conference play and finished not only with<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 />
impact player as well, finishing fourth in the conference in goals and<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 />

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 />
(below) Giovanni<br />
Fernandes, a Cat from<br />
1997-2000, was a<br />
three-time All-MAC and<br />
two-time All-Mid East<br />
Region selection.<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 />

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 />
to strengthen and reform primary and<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
