named Alumni StAdium for the outpouring of financial support from Thiel College alumni, the facility – which opened with the Tomcats’ first game of the 2001 season against Capital University – was officially dedicated during Homecoming weekend on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2001. Alumni Stadium envelops Stoeber Field, named after legendary Thiel coach John b. “JAck” Stoeber. PTLy

The stadium features a red brick entrance and ticket booth area, wrought iron fencing surrounding the stadium, a hospitality center which houses a memorabilia shop and a concession stand, seating for 1,400 and a FieldTurf synthetic turf system. The stadium is also home to the Victory bell (pictured middle left), which was originally part of Ridgeway Hall, a farmhouse that was bought

by the college in 1876 and enlarged in 1881 to be used as a dining hall. The bell was used to call students to meals and later to announce athletic victories. After Ridgeway Hall was razed in 1955, the bell was placed on its own stand near where it had been as part of Ridgeway Hall until the mid-1970s, when it was moved to the Passavant Center, where it was used to call students to worship. As Thiel’s athletic programs continue to grow and evolve, the demands on the College’s sports facilities also grow. Installation of a multi-sport air structure over Stoeber Field during winter months will ease the pressure on the use of our current facilities and keep our sports teams practicing and our intramural programs having fun all year round!

Paul O’Neil 1898 football team

1892 Thiel College participates in its first intercollegiate football game by taking on Grove City College on Thanksgiving Day. Thiel loses the game 48-0. 1893

Thiel, known then as the "Huskies,” picks up its first-ever intercollegiate win with a 60 victory over Allegheny College. The Huskies have a Thanksgiving Day rematch with Grove City, but unfortunately lose to their Mercer County rival 28-0.

1894

Thiel has its first winning season under Coach Hildum. The Huskies win four and lose three, including an 86-0 thrashing of Fredonia Institute. The 86 points are still an all-time Thiel record.

1898

Led by player-coach J. Miller Hilbish, the Huskies set a record for wins in a season with five. Hilbish teaches the players to know their positions, run interference and use trick plays against more talented teams.

1899 The Huskies are refit with moleskin cloth suits and other articles by businessmen of Greenville. Thiel also joins the Intercollegiate Athletic League (IAL), along with Westminster College, Geneva College and Allegheny. Thiel finished third in the IAL that year. 1902 On Sept. 23, the Thiel faculty issues its Football Manifesto, which prohibits the playing of football at Thiel. In reply, some students gather on a roof and sing, "In Heaven above where all is love/There will be no faculty there." 1911 The Football Manifesto is lifted and football resumes at Thiel. Led by co-coaches Nathan Harter (for whom Harter Hall is named) and Asher F. Shupp, the Huskies finish the season 1-1. A loss to Grove City and a win against Edinboro highlights the second coming of the “first season of Thiel football”. 1916 Loyal Thiel students walk a 55-mile distance to Beaver Falls to see Thiel play Geneva to a 0-0 tie. The students travel as far as Ellwood City on Friday and finish their journey Saturday morning.

1918

The Thiel football team, led by Coach Herbert "Hub" Lynch, plays only one game, a 270 loss to Grove City, before dropping the rest of the schedule due to World War I.

1924

Head Coach Tommy Holleran takes the Huskies to Pittsburgh to face Carnegie Tech. Thiel is defeated 22-0, but puts up such a fight that Wally Steffen, head coach of Carnegie Tech, says that the team "played like Wildcats." This leads Melvin A. Blair, sports editor of the Greenville Record-Argus, to report that "they played like Tom's Cats." The name sticks and the athletic teams at Thiel are known as the Tomcats from then on.

1932

John B. Stoeber takes over the head coaching reins of the Tomcats. Although Thiel ends the season 3-6 in his first year, Stoeber remains the head coach until 1955, compiling a Thiel-record 75 wins in his 19 seasons.

1941

The Tomcats post their first undefeated season in school history with a 7-0 record. Thiel dominates their opponents by posting six shutouts and allowing only seven points the entire season.

colleGe, initially focused on ministry for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, was founded as Thiel Hall in Monaca, Pa., in 1866 and chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1870. In 1871 the college moved to Greenville where it has remained ever since. The first football game was played against Grove City College in 1892. hiel

The years from 1902-1910 are referred to in Thiel College history as the “Football Manifesto”. There are some differing accounts as to why Thiel stopped playing football for this eight year period - but the most accurate history is probably found in The History of Thiel College, 1866-1974. Reportedly, a faculty manifesto was passed declaring football “too violent”, causing the students to refer to these years as the Football Manifesto. The faculty relented in 1910 after eight years of student protest and in 1911 Thiel fielded a football team for two games, one versus Grove City College and one versus Edinboro College (now Edinboro University). The second period of time when Thiel did not have a football team was from 1942-1945, during the United State’s participation in World War II.

In the 103 seasons of Thiel’s football history, many important events and firsts have occurred. For example, the first football game designated a “Homecoming game” was in 1915 on Thanksgiving weekend versus Hiram College. The Tomcats prevailed 28-13 and afterwards a banquet was held

with entertainment by the college orchestra. Other milestones include: the first Thiel win: 1893 vs. Allegheny, 4-0; the 100th Thiel win: 1936 vs. Allegheny, 6-0; and the 300th Thiel win: 2001 vs. Grove City, 40-27. The most celebrated individual in Thiel’s football history is without a doubt coach JAck Stoeber. Coach Stoeber served as head football coach from 1932-1941 and again from 1946-1954. He amassed 75 wins in that time and went on to win the Dapper Dan award for outstanding contributions to athletics in Western Pennsylvania, the Greenville Man of the year award, the National Recreation Association award for distinguished service in community recreation and numerous coach of the year awards. Coach Stoeber’s career at Thiel also included stints as professor of German, head men’s basketball coach, dean of men and director of athletics. The remarkable history of excellence and achievement is remembered as the building blocks for today’s Thiel football players. Except for the two periods without football teams during Thiel’s history, varsity football has been played every year since 1892, and this year marks the celebration of the 104th season of Thiel football. Excerpts from Dr. Roy H. Johnson's The History of Thiel College: 1866-1974

The History of Thiel Football

1942-45 Football is halted for the duration of World War II. It is the first gridiron stoppage at Thiel since 1918. 1946 The Tomcats pick up where they left off in 1941 by posting their second-straight 7-0 season. Although the Tomcats allow more than seven points, they still record three shutouts, including a 2-0 win over Slippery Rock State College. 1950

Thiel rolls to their third perfect season in school history. The Tomcats finish at 7-0 with five shutouts while outscoring their opponents 206-13. During the season they set the modern single game scoring record with 61 points against Lycoming College.

1967

1958

2000 Former player and coach Howard Weyers ‘56 and wife Kay announce lead pledge to launch the campaign to raise funds for the construction of Alumni Stadium.

Joe DiFebo, captain of Stoeber's 1941 team, takes over as Thiel's new head coach. DiFebo carries on the winning tradition with a 61 record.

Thiel joins the Presidents' Athletic Conference in the fall of 1958, along with Allegheny College, Washington & Jefferson College and Bethany College.

Thiel Football celebrates its 100th season as the Tomcats travel to Canada and defeat the University of Toronto at Lamport Stadium. The team finished with a 7-3 overall record and second in the PAC with a 4-1 mark. The Tomcats’ last seven-win season was in 1972 (7-2) when Thiel recorded its second PAC championship.

2005

Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Jack Leipheimer, the Tomcats post an unblemished 10-0 regular season mark, win the PAC title for the first time since 1972 and make the program’s first-ever NCAA Division III playoff appearance. After posting a 28-3 home victory over Johns Hopkins University in the opening round of the Division III playoffs the Tomcats suffer a 24-13 loss at Alumni Stadium to Bridgewater College in the second round to finish the year with an 11-1 record.

THIEL in the

PAC

Thiel enters its 52nd season in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in 2010, having joined the league in 1958. During its time in the PAC, Thiel has won three conference football titles - in 1967, 1972, and most recently in 2005. The winner of the PAC title earns the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA D-III Playoffs.

A Century of Thiel Football

the TOMCAT mascot t

hrough 1923 Thiel athletic teams were known as the “Huskies”. But in 1924, greatly impressed by the spirit of the Thiel football team, Carnegie Tech head coach Wally Steffen observed that “they played like wild, wild cats.” This prompted Melvin A. Blair of the Greenville Record Argus to report “Thiel played like Tom’s cats,” in reference to head coach Dr. Thomas Holleran, a Greenville dentist and former All-America at the University of Pittsburgh. From that point thereafter the Thiel “Huskies” became known as the Thiel “Tomcats” as a tribute to Dr. Holleran.

The Tomcats

2010 football guide 2.qxp:Layout 1 9/27/10 11:01 PM Page 12

SEASON OUTLOOK A

new-look Thiel offense will be on display when the Tomcats begin their 2010 football campaign under secondyear head coach Kurt Reiser. The Tomcats will make the switch to the spread offense, a move Reiser says has been in progress over the last couple of years. With the school already showing its commitment to improving the athletic programs with the construction of an indoor practice facility, a smooth transition to an offense with high-scoring potential could make for an exciting year at Thiel. New offensive coordinator Brad Paulson will play a key role as the Tomcats get acclimated to their new style. Paulson has eight years of experience as an offensive coordinator at three different schools.

chance to learn the offense this spring and get acclimated to some of the terminology,” Reiser said. “combine this with what we've done in recruiting with approximately 80 incoming freshman and some very good skill players, it's going to be a lot easier.” Gargano could be a focal point in the offense after proving to be a multi-threat athlete last year. As a sophomore, the tailback led the team with six rushing touchdowns and added two scores on catches. His 34 receptions ranked third on the team, as did his 184 yards on the ground.

In addition to the change in offensive style, Reiser's coaching responsibilities will differ from last year. The hiring of an offensive coordinator relieves Reiser of those duties, allowing him to return to overseeing the offensive line. The change gives the Tomcat head coach more opportunity to manage the game as a whole rather than spending all his time focused on just the offensive side of the ball and calling plays.

The change in offense may give the skill athletes a chance to flourish, meaning players such as Tyler Dejong and Ross Gargano could improve on the quality seasons they turned in last year.

“We have guys coming back who had a

Each of the three potential starting quarterbacks is coming off a different situation. Endlish was the backup to starter Willie Bova last year, Rasinski is returning from a knee injury and Soell is a transfer from Slippery Rock University.

“This will be the first time in several years going into camp that the quarterback position is up in the air,” Reiser said. “All three did a nice job in the Senior Defensive Back BRYAN VILLEGAS spring. It will be important for us to get a feel in camp for where they are and who our starting quarterback is going to be.”

“We were looking for somebody with experience in the spread,” Reiser said. “He's worked with the spread and has been successful with it. He'll do a great job implementing it and preparing us to go forward.”

Dejong caught 46 passes for 524 yards as the second receiving option behind record-setting wideout Brendan Taylor. With Taylor gone to graduation, Dejong will step in as the main receiving threat in his sophomore season, combining with K.J. Smith to give the 'Cats a pair of returning letterwinners in the receiving corps. Peter Garza, Joe Hewel, who moves to wideout from corner, and Devin Wasylink are also competing for receiver spots.

It is still unclear who will line up under center for Thiel this season. Reiser says three players are battling for the spot, including senior Matt Endlish, junior Ken Rasinski and Jared Soell.

“Ross is our most versatile offensive player. He can play the slot or we can line him up at running back. He'll probably get more carries than a year ago since Danny Hess has graduated,” Reiser said. Justin Wazelle, a sophomore tailback, will also see carries while Rob Tibbit will be on the field primarily as a blocking back.

“My job as the head coach will be to try to make sure we have team success so that what we are doing offensively and defensively mesh. If we need to help the defense out by running more, then that's what we'll do. That will be part of my job, to balance offense and defense and oversee the entire game better than I have in the past,” Reiser said. The offensive line that Reiser will take charge of loses its most accomplished player in J.R. Kenna, a first team All-PAC selection last year, to graduation, but has

three returning starters in Gary Petrucci, Vince Palmiere and David Mossa. All three started each of the 'Cats 10 games last season.

frontrunners to start at the corners. David Urey, Marshaun Hainesworth and Hunter Liptrap are also competing for a starting spot.

“They'll have to help us control the line of scrimmage in the running and passing game. We have to do a much better job running the football,” Reiser said. “Even though we're going to the spread, we still want to be able to run the football and be a physical team up front.”

“Haase has shown he can be a dominant player in this league and Villegas has a leadership role in the secondary,” Reiser said. “Those are the guys we will be leaning on in the defensive huddle to push the young guys around them to compete on every snap.”

The Tomcats struggled to establish the running game last season, finishing under 50 yards in a game six times, but showed signs they were capable of being successful carrying the ball, including a 172-yard ground attack in a win over Albion.

Bobby Shew, who the Thiel coach calls an intelligent player with good instincts, is a returning starter at linebacker, as is Ryan Dawes. The third linebacker spot, as well as those providing depth, have yet to be decided.

On the other side of the ball, Thiel's defense will be led by a pair of returning starters that earned All-PAC honors last season in Will Haase, a second team AllPAC selection, and Bryan Villegas, an honorable mention on the All-PAC squad.

The kicking game shouldn't be a problem for the Tomcats as they return an All-PAC punter and All-PAC kicker. Anthony Rozzi was selected to the second team as a punter while Madeline was listed as an honorable mention kicker.

It will be the final year at Thiel for Haase, who will anchor the defensive line. His allconference selection was the second of his career and another solid season could net him his first appearance on the first team. He will be joined on the line by returning starter Tim Taylor, who registered 44 tackles and tied with Haase for a team-high three sacks. Jason Joens, Tom Cermak, Matthew Shields and Zach Woody are battling for the final two starting spots on the line and will all see playing time.

Thiel will open its season vs. Marietta at Alumni Stadium on Sept. 4. The only difference in the schedule from last year is that instead of Albion, the Tomcats will travel to play a non-conference game against Widener for their second game of the season. This game is part of the PACMAC Challenge orchestrated by conference commissioner Joe Onderko. Each team from the PAC, with the exception of Thomas More, will play a team from the MAC to determine bragging rights between the two conferences.

Reiser will look to Villegas to be the senior leader in the secondary from his free safety position, with returning starters John Madeline and Cody Sirgey as the

matchups against Saint Vincent, Thomas More, Bethany, Westminster, Geneva and Washington & Jefferson before wrapping up the season with a battle against Grove City for the Mercer County Cup. “I think with our conference, everybody week in and week out is competitive so we have to work hard every week,” Reiser said. “I expect Washington & Jefferson and Thomas More to be the teams to beat again because of what they've done in the past. Our job is to get our kids to play and compete at that level.” Thiel finished 3-6 last year, a one-game improvement over its 2008 record. If not for a couple of close losses, a .500 season or better could have been in reach. The Tomcats fell to Marietta 20-14 in the season opener and closed out the season with a 21-14 loss in double overtime to rival Grove City. “I think when we look back to 2009 we realize we had some missed opportunities,” Reiser said. There were games that if we had made a play here or play there we could have won. Overall our goal is to improve over last year. If everybody in our program improves and competes on a daily basis, wins and losses will take care of themselves.”

As the team’s offensive line coach from 2001 to 2006, Reiser mentored eight Tomcats to a combined 19 All-Presidents’ Athletics Conference selections. Two players – dave hendricks and bob munch – were four-time selections. In Thiel’s 11-win 2005 campaign, the Reiser-led offensive line played an integral part in securing the program's first PAC title since 1972 and its first undefeated regular season since 1950. Five members of that unit were named to the All-PAC team, with two garnering first team honors. While Hendricks turned in one of the best seasons of all time for a Thiel offensive lineman, earning AFCA first team and D3 Football.com first team All-America honors in addition to being named the Don Hansen Football Gazette National Offensive Lineman of the year and earning an invitation to participate in the Aztec Bowl, the O-line as a whole paved the way for a potent Tomcat attack.

prolific quarterback-receiver duos in school history.

W in w o be

After being named offensive coordinator prior to the 2007 season, Reiser has called the shots for several of the most impressive offensive displays in Thiel football annals. In his inaugural season as the Tomcats’ offensive play-caller, running back Dan Hess set three school records in one day, racking up 327 yards and 30 points on 43 rushes in a, 62-14, drubbing of Saint Vincent College. The next season quarterback Willie Bova conducted a similar assault on Thiel passing records by completing 32 of 63 tosses for 374 yards (all three are school records). Prior to arriving at Thiel, Reiser was the offensive coordinator at Leyden High School in Chicago for six years. A 1993 Allegheny graduate, he earned his master’s degree from DePaul University in 1997. With the Gators, where he played under then-assistant coach Leipheimer, Reiser was a three-year starter at tight end and was a two-time All-NCAC selection and an All-American. Reiser was also a starter on the Gators’ 1990 National Championship team. He and his wife, Nancy, have three children: Ben, Ethan, and Ellie.

whAt Are your

exPectAtionS For thiS SeASon?

We are very excited about the upcoming season. With a large recruiting class coming in to join our upperclassmen we are expecting good competition at each position. This will only makes us better as individuals and as a team. We are looking to improve on our record and to compete week in and week out. We will continue to strive to get better each day to put ourselves in a position to compete in the conference.

From thiS

In a single word - leadership. They have to provide a great example of work ethic, commitment, and dedication on and off the field for our younger players that we will rely on to make a contribution this season. They have done a good job to this point and we expect them to take it to another level when we return for camp this fall. cominG

From the teAm?

We never want to dwell on the past there is no point because there is nothing we can do to change our record from 2009. We were better in 2009 than we were in 2008 and we must continue down that path of improvement. I do believe our players can reflect on last season and recognize some missed opportunities. If we had made a play here or there last season, our record certainly would be different. It is our goal for 2010 to improve on what we started in 2009. Are you

will be instituting new things offensively, defensively, and on special teams. you will probably notice the biggest change on the offensive side of the ball as we move from a Pro I scheme to more of a spreadtype of offense. This past spring we were able to introduce these changes to the players and they did a great job of adjusting and learning the offense. They are excited and looking forward to the season. whAt

hAS been, or will be, the

biGGeSt chAllenGe you FAce in your Second yeAr?

With approximately 140 players reporting to camp, initially, our biggest challenge will be getting people in the right positions to help us be successful. It will be critical that we manage drill time and practice time to evaluate the players effectively. This is a good problem to have and we are looking forward to getting started on August 14th. I am also looking forward to this season and being able to manage the game as a head coach. I will be coaching the offensive line and will no longer be calling the plays offensively. This will allow me to see more of the game and give input to the special teams and to the defense.

We are looking forward to our trip to

Philadelphia to play Widener. They have a rich tradition in their football program and will certainly provide an early season test for us. From a conference standpoint, it will allow us to see where we stand with another good conference. The MAC sent two teams to the playoffs last year with Albright making it to the final eight before losing to Mount Union. It will also allow our teams to get some exposure in the eastern part of the state which may allow us to expand our recruiting area to those parts. who

do you exPect to SteP uP their

GAme the moSt thiS SeASon?

We are counting on several players to come through for us this year. Offensively, tyler dejong had a good year in 2009 as a freshman and with the departure of brendan taylor, he will be looked upon to lead a young receiving corps. I would also expect ross Gargano to become more prominent in our offensive scheme. Ross showed flashes of brilliance last year and we expect him to become a bigger part of the offense. From the defensive side of the ball, bryan Villegas and will haase need to step up to leadership roles.

ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION Jack leipheimer director oF AthleticS John A. “Jack” Leipheimer ’74 took over as Thiel College’s director of athletics on Nov. 17, 2008. He currently oversees Thiel’s 24 competitive athletics programs, 22 of which are associated with the NCAA at the Division III level. A coaching veteran of 34 years – including 25 at the collegiate level - Leipheimer returned to Thiel as its head football coach in 2001 and promptly guided the program to national prominence. His 2005 team compiled an 11-1 record and drew two NCAA playoff games to Alumni Stadium in Greenville. Over his eight seasons at the helm of the football program, Leipheimer amassed 36 wins – which ties for third most all-time in school history including an NCAA Division III playoff win in 2005. Under his tutelage,Thiel players earned 114 all-conference selections, 17 all-region players and 10 all-America selections. He also coached five ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans – a testament to his emphasis on academic excellence. Leipheimer continues to stress the importance of academic and athletic success to Thiel’s student-athletes as he oversees the day-to-day operations of the athletic department. In addition, he will focus on fund-raising efforts in support of Thiel’s athletics program which includes more than 20 coaches and staff members and over 300 student-athletes. Leipheimer was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter at tight end, earning All-PAC accolades in 1973. He was a member of the 1972 squad that registered the college’s second PAC title with a 6-1 conference mark. He was also a three-year letter winner with the Tomcat baseball squad, playing both catcher and first base. Before arriving at Thiel he served as an assistant coach at Allegheny College for 17 years, with the last 12 seasons as the defensive coordinator. He began his coaching career in 1975 as the offensive coordinator at the Bullis School, Potomac, Md. He then served as the defensive coordinator at Trinity High School, Garfield Heights, Ohio, from 1976-1978, and as head coach of the former Kennedy Christian High School, now Kennedy Catholic, Hermitage, Pa., from 1979-1984. During his 12 seasons as Allegheny’s defensive play-caller (1989-2000), the Gators tallied an impressive overall record of 106-23-1, including 22 shutouts. Leipheimer’s defensive schemes helped the Gators win the NCAA Division III National Championship in 1990, and six North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championships. At Allegheny Leipheimer coached 70 All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) defensive players, 43 of whom were named to the first team and 22 defensive AllAmericans. Jack and his wife, Patti, reside in Greenville. They have two daughters: Shanna Bossler, a 2002 Thiel graduate and Krista Ferguson, a 2005 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.

SEASON IN REVIEW GAME ONE

Marietta 20 Thiel 14 mAriettA, ohio (Sept. 5, 2009) – The Thiel College football team opened the 2009 campaign and the Kurt Reiser era with a disappointing 20-14 loss at Ohio Athletic Conference rival Marietta College. Thiel was able to keep the game within reach – never trailing by more than a score – despite the lack of any substantive running game. The Tomcats accounted for only six net yards on the ground, with senior running back Dan Hess leading the way with 34 yards on 20 carries. Quarterback Willie Bova managed to put together a solid day through the air, completing 25-of-43 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns. His only interception of the day came on the final play of the first half. The Tomcats and Pioneers battled to a 7-7 draw in the first half of play, with Marietta drawing first blood on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Keller to Lamar Keller. Thiel answered in the second quarter when tight end Dan Mackall hauled in a 10-yard pass from Bova to cap an 11-play, 51-yard drive. Marietta scored two touchdowns to open the second half on a 4 yard Keller-Nathan Willis hook up and then on a 7-yard scramble by Keller. The Corey Lemke kick on the second touchdown failed. Mackall and Bova connected again on the only score of the fourth period, this time on a 9-yard toss. Mackall ended up with 46 yards on four catches, while senior wide receiver Brendan Taylor was Bova’s favorite target on the day, hauling in 14 passes for 94 yards. The Tomcats had one last shot when they got the ball back on downs on their own 22-yard line with 2:44 remaining in the game. Thiel traveled 33 yards on nine plays before a Bova to Taylor pass fell to the turf. Junior Bobby Shew led Thiel defensively with nine tackles. Junior Will Haase also stood out, racking up six tackles and a fumble recovery. GAME TWO

Thiel 20 Albion 10 GreenVille, Pa. (Sept. 12, 2009) – The Thiel College football team earned its first win of the season and the first career win for head coach Kurt Reiser in its home-opening, 20-10 victory over Albion College at Alumni Stadium. Paced by a promising defense and a timely

offense, Thiel jumped out to a 13-0 lead and from the intermission on, never led by fewer than 10 points. The Tomcat defense held the Britons to 244 yards and forced four turnovers to keep Albion out of the end zone until the 2:05 mark of the fourth quarter. Albion’s only other score came on a 41-yard field goal that split the uprights with 14 seconds to go in the first half. Individually, junior Bryan Villegas led the ‘Cats with a total of 10 tackles (five unassisted) and sophomore linebacker Ryan Dawes contributed a sack and three tackles for a loss. Offensively, Thiel racked up 305 yards on 63 plays, 172 of which came on the ground. Senior quarterback Willie Bova rushed 10 times for 75 yards, while tailback Dan Hess carried the ball 21 times for 68 yards. Bova also completed 10 passes for 133 yards and passed for each of Thiel’s two touchdowns. The Tomcats scored twice in the opening quarter, first on an 8-yard strike from Bova to fullback Mark Dzuback, and later tacked on a 24yard field goal by John Madeline. With the score standing at 13-3 in the fourth quarter,Thiel found the end zone a second time – this time on a 54-yard Bova bomb to Brendan Taylor. GAME THREE

W&J 56 Thiel 16

wAShinGton, PA. (Sept. 19, 2009) – Washington & Jefferson proved to be a formidable foe as the Presidents overpowered the Tomcats 56-16 at Cameron Stadium. W&J outgained Thiel 537 yards to 231 and earned 27 first downs to Thiel’s 10 in front of 2,444 in what was the Presidents’ Athletic Conference opener for both teams. The Tomcats kept it competitive in the contest’s early going, twice pulling to within eight points on a pair of second quarter touchdowns. However, the Presidents shifted into high gear in the second half, outscoring Thiel 35-3 over the game’s final two quarters, including a 21-point fourth frame. Down 14-, Thiel scored its first points on a 48yard toss to Brendan Taylor from quarterback Willie Bova with 8:56 to go in the first half. Sophomore running back Ross Gargano broke new ground for the 2009 Tomcats later in the period when he scored Thiel’s first rushing touchdown of the season on a 2-yard run that made the score 21-13. Kicker John Madeline closed out the Thiel scoring in the third quarter with a 44-yard field goal.

Linebacker Ryan Dawes turned in his second consecutive strong outing on the defensive side of the ball, making a team-leading 7.5 tackles. Senior Sam Swartzfager also had a solid night, making six stops, including two for a loss. GAME FOUR

Geneva 37 Thiel 13 beAVer FAllS, Pa. (Sept. 26, 2009) – Geneva took advantage of a ten-point swing in the first quarter and consistently excellent starting field position to down Thiel 37-13 in Presidents’ Athletic Conference at Reeves Field. The Golden Tornadoes racked up 454 yards of offense in the contest, while holding the Tomcats to 227. Thiel quarterback Willie Bova accounted for a bulk of his team’s offense, going 12 for 32 through the air while adding a team-high 32 yards on the ground. Brendan Taylor was the Tomcats’ leading receiver, hauling in five passes for 86 yards. Thiel scored for the first time in the second quarter on a penalty-aided six-play, 66-yard drive. Geneva twice committed penalties during the drive – a 15-yard pass interference marker and a nine-yard holding miscue – to set up a key 22yard pass from Bova to freshman Tyler DeJong, which put Thiel in business with a first-and-goal situation from the 1-yard line. Senior running back Dan Hess finished the drive with a 1-yard rush to earn his first touchdown since the final game of the 2007 season. Thiel managed to put together a final scoring drive in the fourth, with Ross Gargano scoring his second touchdown of the season and John Madeline tacking on the extra point with 7:22 to play in the contest. Junior linebacker Bobby Shew made a teamhigh six tackles for the Tomcats. GAME FIVE

Thiel 24 Westminster 21 GreenVille, Pa. (oct. 3, 2009) - Kicker John Madeline earned his place in Thiel College football lore by booting a career-long 46-yard field goal as time expired to sink Westminster 24-21 in front of a Homecoming crowd of 1,700 at Alumni Stadium. Through three frames, the visiting Titans led Thiel 7-0, thanks to a one-yard run by Shawn Lehocky in the second quarter.

THIEL COLLEGE

2010 football guide 2.qxp:Layout 1 9/27/10 11:07 PM Page 49

But toward the end of the third quarter, momentum began to shift to the side of the Tomcats. After Thiel’s Clint Walker forced and recovered a Lehocky fumble, the Tomcat offense got to work at their own 43-yard line. Seven plays, 57 yards and one spectacular, twisting, spinning Ross Gargano run-after-catch helped Thiel tie things up at 7-7. Thiel quarterback Willie Bova hit Gargano twice during the drive for a combined 26 yards, but did some heavy lifting on his own, taking off twice for 22 yards. Bova completed four-of-five throws during the drive. Seven plays later, Thiel forced a turnover on the second consecutive Westminster drive –this time via a pick by Mike Clemens. However, the Tomcat drive ended with a punt four plays later. On the ensuing possession, the Titans managed only nine yards on three plays before electing to punt. Freshman Garrett McElwain helped Thiel turn the punt into points. McElwain blocked the kick into the end zone where Bobby Shew jumped on the loose ball to give the ‘Cats their first lead of the day. Madeline’s PAT made the score 14-7 with under seven minutes to play. Despite being down, the Titans used their next possession to illustrate that they were by no means out. Westminster charged 52 yards in just under two minutes to even things up at 1414. The Titans defense appeared to take control of the game through the first few plays of Thiel’s next offensive series. After Gargaro returned the kickoff 21 yards to the Thiel 31, two penalties and a 7-yard sack gave the Tomcats a third-and-17 situation from their own 14. That’s when Willie Bova uncorked Thiel’s other play of the game – an 86-yard bomb to Brendan Taylor to put the Tomcats up 21-14 with about 90 seconds to go in the game. Westminster tied things up at 21-21 after a six play, 61-yard drive that ate up exactly one minute on the clock. With overtime looming, Thiel took over at its own 32 with 18 seconds to play. Bova wasted no time, hitting Taylor for a 30-yard bomb and Gargano for a 9-yard gain to set up Madeline’s game-ending boot. In the win, Thiel racked up a season-high 332 yards of offense, with 304 of those yards coming by way of Bova’s 22-of-33 passing day. Gargano made a team-high eight grabs for 67 yards and a score, while Taylor hauled in six balls for 151 yards and a TD. Freshman Tyler DeJong made five catches for 74 yards. Walker and Shew each reached double digits in tackles, tallying 12 and 10, respectively.

GAME SIX

Bethany 42 Thiel 21 bethAny, w.Va. (oct. 10, 2009) – Bethany jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back en route to a 42-21 victory. The Bison jumped out to a 21-0 lead before Thiel scored its first points of the game on a second-quarter touchdown run by Ross Gargano. Bethany would answer before the end of the half to push the score to 28-7. The Bison opened the second half by posting another score on a 6-yard Chad Smith-to-Eric Walker hookup. Thiel would respond less than a minute later on a 4-yard Dan Hess scoring run. The John Madeline PAT made the score 35-14. Bethany and Thiel traded touchdowns to close out the game’s scoring. Thiel’s final score – a one-yard Gargano run – came with 9:20 to go in the game. It was the first game of the season in which Thiel did not score a touchdown through the air. Tomcat quarterback Willie Bova finished the game completing 27-of-40 passes for 314 yards and two interceptions. Bova was also the team’s leading rusher, taking off nine times for 29 yards. Brendan Taylor was Thiel’s leading receiver, hauling in 15 passes for 183 yards. GAME SEVEN

Thomas More 28 Thiel 14

The Saints’ offense didn’t take long to kick into high-gear. Collier went 52 yards on a catch-and-run on third and nine to open the scoring on their first possession. Later in the period, Thomas More had a promising drive end when Thiel’s Jason Joens forced a Collier fumble at the Tomcats’ 34 yard line. Safety Bryan Villegas jumped on the loose ball at the 33 to thwart another Thomas More scoring opportunity. After a scoreless second stanza, Thomas More drove 62 yards to widen their lead to 14-0 on the opening drive of the second half. Thiel came charging back in the very next series. After nickel-and-diming the Saint defense for 24 yards, a 52-yard Bova-to-Dejong hookup gave Thiel a first and goal from the 1. Sophomore Ross Gargano capped the sevenplay, 77-yard drive with a 2-yard dive for his fifth touchdown of the season. John Madeline drove the extra point through the uprights to make the score 14-7. Minutes into the fourth quarter, the Saints regained their offensive footing, driving 84 yards in seven plays to push their lead back to 14. Thiel would rally once again. Dan Hess powered the ball in from the 2 to cap a 13-play drive that spanned 63 yards. Madeline’s boot pulled Thiel to within seven for a third time. The Saints responded on the ensuing drive as Collier scampered to pay dirt, ending Thiel’s upset bid. Thiel was paced defensively by Sam Swartzfager, who made 10 tackles (seven solo). Junior William Haase showed signs of returning to his record-setting 2008 form by racking up 2.5 tackles for a loss. GAME EIGHT

GreenVille, Pa. (oct. 24, 2009) – Nationally-ranked Thomas More’s Cordario Collier ran 18 yards for a touchdown with 2:27 remaining in regulation to set the 28-14 final score against a determined Thiel team at Alumni Stadium. Saints’ quarterback Trevor Stellman helped his team overcome three first-half turnovers by throwing for 182 yards and two scores. Collier led Thomas More with 189 yards and two scores on the ground, in addition to 109 yard and a TD receiving. As usual, Thiel quarterback Willie Bova put on a show, completing 20-of-36 tosses for 227 yards. Bova’s 12th completion of the game was his 400th in a Tomcat uniform and a new Thiel career record. Four of those completions were to freshman Tyler Dejong, who compiled a game-high 110 receiving yards.

Thiel 38 Saint Vincent 14 GreenVille, Pa. (oct. 31, 2009) – Thiel had its all-around best game of the season as it trounced Saint Vincent 38-14 at Alumni Stadium. The Tomcats established new season highs in passing yards (373), total yards (442), points scored, first downs (24) and turnovers caused (seven) – including four fourth-quarter interceptions – as they improved to 3-5 on the year. Senior quarterback Willie Bova threw for every one of Thiel’s yards through the air, coming within one yard of breaking his own program record for passing yardage in a game. In all, Bova completed 27-of-42 passes, threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth. [continued on page 50]

SEASON IN REVIEW [CONTINUED] Bova’s favorite target on the day was senior wideout Brendan Taylor, who hauled in eight balls for 160 yards, including a 58-yard bomb in the second quarter. After weeks of flirting with the end zone, freshman WR Tyler Dejong finally hit pay dirt for Thiel in the second quarter and then did it again in the fourth to score his first- and second-career touchdowns. Down 31-14 with 13:42 to go in the fourth quarter, Saint Vincent quarterback Jake Smith had Thiel’s defense on its heels using an effective hurry-up attack. After starting at the SVC 22, the Bearcats marched to the Thiel 25 before cornerback Malcolm Kennedy jumped in front of a sure completion to end Saint Vincent’s promising drive on the 12-yard line. Thiel went three-and-out on its ensuing possession, but a booming 83-yard punt by freshman Tony Rozzi gave the Bearcats the ball at their own 19. On the very next play, linebacker Clint Walker picked off Smith at the 35, and tacked on an 8yard return to put Thiel in business at the Saint Vincent 25-yard line. Dejong’s second score less than four minutes later essentially ended any hope for a Saint Vincent comeback. The defense seconded that notion by ending the Bearcats’ next two drives with interceptions Kennedy made his second pick of the day in what was a carbon copy of his first, and Terry Gensel intercepted a Caleb Gelsomino pass with about 90 seconds to play. Sophomore John Madeline booted a 33-yard field goal to open the scoring in the first quarter. Bookended by Dejong’s score and Bova’s 3yard dash to the end zone, tailback Ross Gargano and tight end Dan Mackall hauled in TD passes of 12 and 11 yards, respectively to get in on Thiel’s 28-point second quarter. Senior linebacker Sam Swartzfager led Thiel with six tackles and a fumble recovery. Tim Taylor and Ryan Dawes added a pair of fumble recoveries, with Taylor and Bobby Shew getting credit for forcing those fumbles. GAME NINE

Waynesburg 38 Thiel 17 wAyneSburG, Pa. (nov. 7, 2009) – A pair of Thiel players combined to set four records, but it wasn’t enough to pull out the win as the Tomcats fell 38-17 to Waynesburg University in Presidents’ Athletic Conference action.

Senior quarterback Willie Bova completed a school record 37 passes for 350 yards and a touchdown in the contest. Along the way, Bova picked up the Thiel career records for passing yards with 5,415 in addition to the mark for total offense with 5,763. His favorite target on the day – senior WR Brendan Taylor – hauled in a Thiel record 17 passes for 216 yards. Taylor also became just the third Tomcat to earn 1,000 receiving yards in a season. Senior linebacker Sam Swartzfager had his best game of the season, recording 12 tackles (nine solo) and two sacks. Waynesburg jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead before yielding its first points of the game in the form of a second-quarter John Madeline field goal. The yellow Jackets tacked on 21 points before the Tomcats managed to answer with its first visit to the end zone in the third quarter. In what was undoubtedly Thiel’s offensive play of the day, Bova and Taylor teamed up for a 70yard pass to make the score 38-10 in favor of the Jackets. Thiel’s Ross Gargano scored his team-leading eighth touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter to set the final score. GAME TEN

Grove City 31 Thiel 24 GreenVille, Pa. (nov. 14, 2009) -- The Mercer County Cup contest proved to be a tale of two halves for the Tomcats as they suffered a 31-24 loss at the hands of Grove City College to wrap up the Tomcats season. In the end, the game proved to be a matchup between the two senior quarterbacks with Willie Bova racking up 338 total yards (267 passing, 71 rushing) and one touchdown, while Grove City's Andrew DiDonato amassed 375 total yards (279 passing, 96 rushing) and four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing). Defensively, the Tomcats shot out of the gates causing three turnovers in the Wolverines' first three drives of the first quarter. Junior linebacker Bobby Shew led Thiel's defensive charge, picking off two Grove City passes only seven minutes into the contest, while junior cornerback Cody Sirgey forced a fumble that was also recovered by the Tomcats. As the defense dominated, the Thiel College offense capitalized, scoring 17 points in the first half as Grove City sputtered. Senior running back Dan Hess scored two first-half touchdowns, while John Madeline kicked a field goal

to put Thiel up 17-0 at the half. The beginning of the fourth quarter was when Grove City quarterback Andrew DiDonato began to exploit cracks in the Thiel College defense as he marched his fellow Wolverines down the field in the form of a 12-play, 86-yard drive for a touchdown. The Tomcat offense could only get three plays into their answering drive when Wolverine linebacker, Andrew Keirsey, picked off a Willie Bova pass and returned it to the Tomcat 16. The Wolverines would follow that costly turnover with a 6-yard touchdown pass from DiDonato to Zac Summy, bringing the score to 17-14 in favor of Thiel. The momentum continued to swing in the visiting Wolverines' favor as they forced the Tomcats to punt on their next possession and followed it up with a field goal that knotted things up at 17 with 2:38 left on the clock. In the first overtime, the two quarterbacks matched each other in touchdowns as Bova connected with Brendan Taylor and DiDonato ran one in from 11 yards out to send the game into a second overtime. The Grove City offense would make short work of their time in the second overtime, as DiDonato hit receiver Luke O'Hara in the back of the end zone for six on the first play of the second extra frame. The Tomcats would work their way down to the Grove City 4-yard line for a fourth-andgoal opportunity. Bova dropped back for the pass, spotted Ross Gargano open in the back of the end zone and uncorked a ball that seemed to float in the air for eternity. As the ball began to descend into the hands of Gargano, Wolverine linebacker,Chris Joseph batted the ball down, washing away all hopes of a third overtime. On the defensive side of the ball, the Tomcat defensive lineman Tom Cermak led the team in tackles with seven (four solo) while senior Sam Swartzfager tallied six tackles and a fumble recovery. Taylor ended the day and his college career with 10 receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown.

An Historic cAmpus...

AT the Pittsburgh Synod convention in Greensburg in 1869, it was decided that Thiel Hall would become a college and serve western Pennsylvania. Thiel College began its corporate existence on September 1, 1870, at Phillipsburg, where it stayed until Greenville submitted an elaborate proposal to have the college moved to the Mercer County community. With a population of 1,848 in 1870, Greenville offered splendid north/south and east/west rail transportation, strong local patronage, exemplary moral and religious conditions and a pledge of $10,000 cash, five acres of land and use of a large academy building. Thiel College was initially housed in the Union or Central School, made available by the Greenville School Board. The cornerstone for Greenville Hall (pictured left), the first building on campus, was laid on August 15, 1872, while the dedication took place in conjunction with Thiel's first commencement, June 25, 1874.

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College,Thiel College,Thomas More College,Washington and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself. The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent. Saint Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the conference as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in 2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Chatham College became the league’s 10th member, also in 200708. The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2008-09, the conference had 41 teams represent the conference in postseason play, including 23 in NCAA Championship events. PAC championship teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA Division III national championship events. All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships. The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson College men and WestminsterCollege women captured the 2008-09 trophies (see below). True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the league named 602 student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.
