2014 SEASON PREVIEW is going to be an amazing challenge, but it will be fun.” The going does not get any easier into conference action. 2013 Conference USA regular season champion New Mexico was a national semifinalist last year. Last season’s C-USA Tournament champion Charlotte is only a mere three seasons removed from a national runner-up finish. “It’s an amazing league,” added Getman. “The quality from top to bottom is outstanding. The facilities we get to play in, the crowds that everybody attracts; it really is one of the top leagues in the country.” One thing that may aid the club is its home field advantage at West Campus Field on the campus of UAB. Last season, a facility-record 3,205 people witnessed the team defeat 2012 national champion Indiana. An average of 968 people attended matches at West Campus Field in 2013, which ranked No. 39 in the nation.

Diego Navarrete and the 2013 UAB men’s soccer team knocked off 2012 national champion Indiana in front of 3,205 people at West Campus Field.

The 2014 UAB men’s soccer team returns six starters and 17 letter winners from the 2013 campaign and welcome six newcomers in its pursuit of success on the pitch. “We expect to be in the NCAA Tournament every year,” head coach Mike Getman stated. “I don’t know if getting back in it is a goal, it’s really just an expectation. I think that, similar to last year, our goals will be to win every game we play in, win the Conference USA championship, and go as far as we can in the NCAA Tournament.” The Blazers are primed for a big season in 2014. UAB led the nation in scoring last season, scoring at a clip of 2.39 goals per game. The team returns its top three scoring threats from 2013 in senior midfielder Alex Clay, senior forward Diego Navarrete, and junior forward Freddy Ruiz.

“It’s always been a great home field advantage for us,” said Getman. “We have drawn good crowds. I think our fans appreciate good soccer. It makes such a difference, it really does. I am sure every coach says it, but I think in soccer, more than most sports, the energy of the crowd really does come down onto the field. Late in the game when players are tired, I think it makes a difference. The crowd does matter and we are very fortunate that we get great support and they have come out in big numbers.” UAB’s five seniors have known nothing but success since arriving in Birmingham in 2011. Heading into their final season on campus, this group is ready to go out with a bang. “This group of seniors has really known nothing but success since the day they got here,” complimented Getman. “They have been to the NCAA Tournament, seeded in the NCAA Tournament, and conference champions. It doesn’t matter who we have played, they have had success. I think that all of them

“It will be very interesting because we return all of our attacking players from last season,” said Getman. “You certainly have to expect that we will be fairly similar. I don’t think it will be exactly the same as last year. I think we will be even better, which sounds a little silly since we led the nation in scoring. We are going to be exciting. We are going to score a lot of goals. Our M.O. has always been to attack; we are certainly going to continue with that.” The road back to the NCAA Tournament will be an arduous one, as the squad’s 2014 schedule will be no cakewalk. Seven of the 17 teams UAB will face participated in last season’s edition of the national tournament. In addition, four 2014 opponents were top-16 seeds in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. “It’s a little bit of a crazy schedule, lots of travel and lots of big games,” commented Getman. “We try to schedule games where we are going to have to play well every week if we want to succeed. That’s how we get better as individuals and that’s how we get better as a team. This year, there were some opportunities that came up that allowed us to make it that every single game 7

2014 SEASON PREVIEW are committed to making sure that their final season is the best ever.” Forwards The UAB men’s soccer team led the nation in scoring in 2013 and a big reason for that was the play up top. UAB returns its top-four scoring forwards from last season and figures to put up big numbers this upcoming season. Ruiz burst onto the scene in 2013, leading the club in scoring en route to collecting All-Conference USA First Team and All-Midwest Region Second Team accolades. The Fort Payne, Ala. native will look to put more in the net in 2014. “Freddy Ruiz was recruited because we knew he could score goals,” said Getman. “His sophomore year he showed that he was comfortable and that he understood our system. He had a great year and we expect that to continue. I think that he scored a lot of goals for us, but he can score more. Being a year older, stronger, and quicker, I think he will be even more dangerous than he was this past year. We are certainly expecting great things from him.” Joining him up top will be senior forward Diego Navarrete. Navarrete started off last season with a bang, earning the first Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week award for his efforts at the VCU Nike Classic. He continued his ways, matching the program record with four assists against Florida Atlantic on Oct. 6, 2013. The 2013 Second Team All-C-USA honoree will be the perfect counterpart to Ruiz at forward. “Diego Navarrete has battled injuries his whole career and still played a huge role for us,” added Getman. “He is healthy now and the sharpest that he has been.” Junior forward Karl Chester and sophomore forward Rami Dajani both saw extensive action up top in 2013 and will be

Freddy Ruiz finished the 2013 season ranked 15th in the country in goals per game, scoring at a 0.61 clip.

counted on to be on the pitch this upcoming season. Chester recorded three helpers in the final eight matches of the year, while Dajani was a 2013 Conference USA All-Freshmen honoree after scoring the game-winner against Indiana. “Karl Chester is finally healthy and has been missed most of the last three years with injuries,” said Gertman. “Same is true with Rami Dajani, who as a freshman did well, scored a lot of goals. I think similar to Freddy; his sophomore year will be his next big step forward. We are expecting great things from him.” Junior college transfer Lawson Crider brings a history of scoring in bunches to Birmingham. Last season at Carl Sandburg College, Crider led the nation in scoring en route to NSCAA All-America First Team honors. Midfield Half of the starting midfield from 2013 has graduated, but do not expect a drop off. Clay and senior midfielder Pachinno Roberts will combine with a plethora of experienced Blazer midfielders to form one of the deepest units on the pitch. Clay was one of the Green and Gold’s biggest playmakers in 2013. The honors poured in for the Huntsville, Ala. native, who won the inaugural Conference USA Golden Boot Award. Clay also was named to the All-C-USA Second Team and All-Midwest Region Second Team. Look for Clay all over the field, doing whatever he can to help the Blazers to victory.

Alex Clay scored seven goals in Conference USA play in 2013 en route to collecting the inagural C-USA Golden Boot Award. 8

“Alex Clay is the perfect college athlete because he is a great kid, student, and talented soccer player,” commented Getman. “He has grown and gotten better every year that he has been here. He was voted captain by his teammates as a junior. He really has done everything that we could have asked a player to do. The production was there on the field, scoring lots of goals and creating lots of assists. He just helps our team in a lot of different ways. We certainly expect Alex to be one of the focal B l a z e r s

2014 SEASON PREVIEW “I think that Darion Copeland is probably the top defender in the country,” stated Getman. “He is a very special talent. He is big, athletic, skillful, and smart. He leads our team from the back. He has gotten the respect from every player and coach. He is something unique. He literally has everything you look for in a player. I think he is going to have a phenomenal senior season and then I think he is going to go on to be a big-time pro.” Junior defender Ian Svantesson has played in every contest since joining the Green and Gold two seasons ago. His towering presence makes him a huge asset in the air on both ends of the pitch. The Orlando, Fla. native is a mainstay at center back and had 13 points in his first two years on campus. After missing out on the 2013 season due to injury, junior defender Stewart Abrahart returns. Abrahart played in 34 contests, starting 29 in 2011 and 2012 and will look to return to the UAB starting lineup in 2014.

Darion Copeland has started all but one contest in his three seasons as a member of the UAB men’s soccer team.

points of this team; there is no question about that.”

Senior defender Ian Michalak and sophomore defending trio Lars Willemse, Joe Rund, and Chandler Stroupe earned their share of playing time in 2013 and will remain a fixture on the field. Freshman defender Mathieu Laurent will look to earn his first stripes in Green and Gold in 2014.

Roberts played in all but one match and started all but four contests. The defensive midfield specialist is expected to contribute in big ways in his senior season.

Sophomore goalkeeper Joe Kuzminsky was the only current UAB goalkeeper to see playing time last season. Kuzminsky started and played the full 90 minutes against C-USA foe South Carolina, making seven stops.

Several players saw time on the field last season and could see a big jump in minutes in 2014. Getman eyes Aaron Getman-Pickering, Cole Iverson, James Nanje Ngoe, and Henrique Sposito as some midfielders who have improved since the end of last season and will have an impact on the pitch this year.

Fellow sophomore goalkeeper Hunter Weber is looking to get on the field for the first time this season. Joining Kuzminsky and Weber in the race for the starting keeper position is Lipscomb transfer Miguel Hof. The junior goalkeeper played in 14 matches, starting 11 the past two seasons.

Four newcomers come in, all bringing national team experience. Sophomore midfielder William White spent the summer of 2014 with the Bermuda U20 national team, playing the likes of Australia, Chile, and United States. True freshmen DeAndre Robinson and David Valverde all bring international experience and could shine in their first seasons on campus.

“We lost Raphael Ville, who started for us almost every game the past two seasons,” concluded Getman. “He will be a big loss. But, I have total confidence in the other goalkeepers. They have worked hard for a number of years and they are ready to step in and continue where Raphael left off.”

Defense and Goalkeeper Despite its ability to score in bunches in 2013, UAB still kept one of the most stout backlines in Conference USA. The squad lost two starting defenders and top goalkeeper, but returns a plethora of experienced players. “On the defensive side, there will be a few more questions marks since we have graduated a couple of people,” added Getman. “I think there a lot of talented people joining our team and we had a couple who stepped up during the spring. I don’t think there is going to be a place where we are inexperienced or where we are lacking talent. There will be a few different names, but I think it will be another very, very strong team.” Copeland presents a big roadblock for opposing offenses. The Stockbridge, Ga. native has started nearly every match since stepping on campus in 2011 and is a three-time All-Conference USA honoree and two-time All-Midwest Region Team member. 9

MIKE GETMAN Head Coach • 23rd Season Indiana, 1982 Mike Getman has seen his dream of a UAB soccer program that would compete for conference titles and NCAA Tournament berths come true. Getman, now in his 23rd season as UAB’s head coach, has led the Blazers to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including a spot in the Elite Eight in 1999 and Sweet 16 in 2001. Additionally, he has led UAB teams to six regular season and tournament championships and has been selected the conference coach of the year on three different occasions. The Getman File Coaching Experience 1992 - Present............................... UAB (HC) 1987-91....................................Harvard (HC) 1984-86.....................................Indiana (AC)

Last season, UAB appeared in the NSCAA/Continental Tire Poll for 12 consecutive weeks and was ranked as high as No. 8 in the nation. The Blazers led the country in scoring, recording 2.39 goals per game in 2013. For the fifth-straight year, UAB won at least 10 matches, as the squad went 12-5-1.

The fans came out in bunches to see the 2013 UAB men’s soccer team at West Campus Field, as the squad ranked No. 39 in the country in average home attendance. An average of 968 people attended the Blazers’ home matches last season. For the fourth time since 2003, UAB finished in the top 50 in the nation in average attendance. 3,205 people, a West Campus Field regular-season record, watched the Blazers defeat 2012 national champion Indiana, 2-1 in overtime, on Friday, Sept. 6. In addition, 1,776 people, the 10th-best crowd in facility history, came out to watch UAB play Charlotte to a 0-0 draw in the UAB “Soccer for a Cure” Classic on Friday, Sept. 1. The 2012 season proved to be another solid campaign, as the Blazers earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, marking the second straight year the team has played in the national tournament. It marked the third time in program history that the Green and Gold played in the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons. The Blazers finished the season with a 10-8-2 mark, the fourth year in-a-row with at least 10 victories. In all, it is a far cry from when Getman accepted the job of turning the Blazer program around. He inherited a program in 1992 that had just three winning records in its first 13 seasons. Getman set goals for the program and Blazer fans know that many of those original goals have been met or exceeded. Consider the following: - The Blazers have won 243 matches since 1993 for an average of more than 11 wins per season. - Seven trips to the NCAA Tournament - 1994, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2012 (The Elite Eight in `99 and Sweet 16 in `01). - Six conference titles, including four regular-season championships (C-USA in `95, `99 and `11 and Great Midwest in `94) and two conference tournament championship crowns (C-USA in `99 and Great Midwest in `94). - The Blazers have been ranked in the national poll in 18 of the last 20 seasons, including a highest ranking of No. 3 in 2003 and highest finish of eighth in 1999. - Defeated three No. 1-ranked teams in SMU (2006), North Carolina (2000), and UCLA (1997). - Victories over traditional national powers and ranked teams, such as No. 8 Indiana and No. 24 VCU in 2013; No. 20 Washington in 2012; No. 6 UCF and No. 15 SMU in 2011; No. 10 UIC and No. 13 Kentucky in 2009; No. 3 Indiana in 2007; No. 1 SMU and No. 17 Kentucky in 2006; No. 11 USF in 2004; No. 3 Saint Louis, No. 9 USF, No. 13 Furman (twice), and No. 20 South Carolina in 2001; No. 1 North Carolina and No. 6 Furman in 2000; No. 2 Saint Louis (twice), No. 5 Southwest Missouri State, No. 17 SMU, and No. 18 Santa Clara, all in 1999; and No. 1 UCLA in 1997. - 116 all-conference honorees. - Six conference Newcomer of the Year awards. 1 1

MIKE GETMAN - The building of a top-flight soccer facility on campus, West Campus Field. The facility attracts large crowds for not only UAB matches, but serves as a site for international soccer events. The Blazers became the first collegiate program to ever compete against the U.S. National Team in March 2000. UAB has won more than 70 percent of all its matches at WCF. - Getman is the winningest coach in Conference USA history with a record 92 league wins. - More than 100 conference academic honor roll members over the last 20 years. - Four Academic All-Americans. With all of those accomplishments, Getman is not satisfied. “We want to be a national contender every year,” he said. “We play in one of the toughest conferences in the nation, Conference USA, and we feel that our schedule helps us to prepare for postseason play.” In 2005, Getman was named the C-USA Coach of the Decade for his accomplishments during his coaching tenure at UAB. Furthermore, Getman has been named conference Coach of the Year three times. He holds a 289-174-44 (.613) mark in 26 seasons as a head coach and a 247-149-35 (.614) record in 22 seasons at UAB. Even more impressive is the total of 116 all-conference selections he has coached at UAB. From 2008-11, Getman served on the NCAA Men’s Soccer Committee. He also played a large part in bringing the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Men’s College Cup to Birmingham. Furthermore, Getman is ranked among college soccer’s top men’s active coaches (34th in winning percentage and 18th in victories). The 23-year coaching veteran also ranks among the winningest coaches in NCAA Division I soccer history, ranking 46th all-time in victories. Getman is among a handful of coaches who both played for and coached a team to the NCAA College Cup, accomplishing the feat twice as a player and once as a coach. Getman’s players’ successes extend off the field as well. Over 90 percent of student-athletes who have played four years during his tenure as head coach completed their degree requirements. He now boasts more than 100 C-USA honor roll members (3.0 GPA or above), 23 C-USA academic medal of honor recipients (3.75 GPA or above) and four academic All-Americans. Getman has further improved his already impressive academic standards over the past few years, as three Blazers have been tabbed the C-USA Scholar Athlete of the Year, with all three honorees coming over the last nine seasons (Lukasz Kwapisz in 2004, Jeremy Drake in 2006 and Wes Johnson in 2008). In fact, in 2006, Drake was tabbed the league’s Scholar Athlete of the Year for men’s soccer, while Lukasz Kwapisz earned the post-graduate scholarship award for men’s soccer. The duo were the only UAB student-athletes to earn the prestigious awards in any sport. How Getman Ranks Winningest Active NCAA D-I Coaches (Wins) Pl. Coach, Team Record 1.

UAB fans have responded to the program’s winning ways as home attendance average at West Campus Field over the past few years is close to 1,000. In 2003, UAB was 16th in the nation in average attendance (1,077/game) and 25th in the nation in total attendance (7,545). During the 2006 campaign, UAB ranked 31st in average attendance (853/game) and 43rd in total attendance (5,972). In 2009, UAB ranked 48th in total attendance (6,779). In 2011, the Blazers had three of the top-10 crowds in West Campus Field history. The Blazers opened the 2011 campaign against Clemson in front of 3,141 fans, who witnessed the 2-1 UAB victory. The Green & Gold also played in front of 2,214 fans for the NCAA Tournament second round contest against Charlotte and 1,235 fans to the first-ever soccer match played at Regions Park (Hoover, Ala.) when the Blazers took on Memphis. Those crowds rank among the top in program history. The Blazers finished the 2011 season with a perfect 4-0 record against top-25 teams. UAB closed the year ranked No. 21 in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Associate of America (NSCAA) with a 13-5-3 mark. The Blazers finished C-USA play with a 6-1-1 record and a share of the regular season title. B l a z e r s

MIKE GETMAN In 2009, a West Campus Field record crowd of 3,481 witnessed UAB’s 3-0 exhibition victory over Clemson. Even though that match did not count in the Blazers’ overall record, it served as a catalyst for the rest of the year and what was to come. Getman guided his 2009 squad to a 12-4-2 overall record, including road victories over No. 10 UIC (3-1) and No. 13 Kentucky (1-0). Despite the disappointment in missing the NCAA Tournament, Getman still managed to reach the 10-win plateau for the 14th time in his 18 seasons as head coach at UAB. Prior to the 2011 season, the Blazers last reached the NCAA Tournament in 2006, which capped a stretch of four NCAA Tournament appearances over an eight-year span. The campaign was highlighted when previously undefeated and then-No. 1-ranked SMU invaded West Campus Field. In front of a then-record crowd of 2,755 fans, the Blazers stunned the Mustangs, 2-1, to set off an impressive run of 3-0-2 to end the campaign. UAB also defeated No. 10 Notre Dame (1-0), No. 16 South Carolina (3-2), No. 18 Kentucky (1-0/ot) and No. 24 UNC Greensboro (3-2) during the season. In 1999, the Blazers began the most successful three-year stretch The Getman family (left to right): Ethan, Rena, Nathan, Mike, and Eli in UAB men’s soccer history by advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals. The Blazers won both the Conference USA regular season and tournament championships, finished eighth in the final NSCAA national poll and posted a 17-6 overall record. The Blazers set the school record for wins in a season and had a school record 13-match winning streak. In 2000, the Blazers fell to Washington in a four-overtime match that was arguably the most exciting NCAA Tournament match ever played. It was UAB’s first appearance in the tournament as an at-large team and the first back-to-back appearance in school history. UAB would finish that year 14-5-2 overall mark and a 5-1-2 record in C-USA play. In 2001, UAB made a third consecutive trip to the NCAAs. The Blazers opened tournament play with a 1-0 overtime victory over Furman, then defeated region hosts South Carolina, 3-2, to earn a trip to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years. Despite dropping a 3-2 double overtime heartbreaker to Clemson, UAB finished 15-6, runner-up in C-USA, and set a school record with nine players selected to all-conference teams. Getman came to Birmingham from Harvard, where he was head coach from 1987-91. During his time at the Cambridge, Mass., school, his teams posted a 42-26-9 (.604) record, including a 21-11-3 (.643) mark in Ivy League play. In his first season at Harvard, he led his team to the 1987 NCAA Final Four, as the Crimson went 14-1-3 and captured the Ivy League title. He became the youngest coach (28) to lead a team to the Division I Final Four. The following season, Harvard was ranked No. 1 for the first time in the school’s history. While at Harvard, Getman developed 21 All-Ivy League players, nine All-New England performers and two All-Americans. He started his coaching career at his alma mater, Indiana, where he served as an assistant coach from 1984-86. In those three seasons, the Hoosiers were in the NCAA Tournament twice and played in the 1984 title game. Getman played professionally as a defender for the Detroit Express of the American Soccer League from 1982-83. He was the team’s Rookie of the Year in 1982, as the Express won the ASL championship. A three-year letterwinner at Indiana, he played fullback for the Hoosiers from 1977-81, during which time IU finished as an NCAA Division I national finalist in 1978 and 1980. A native of Bloomington, Ind., he earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from Indiana in 1982 and his master’s in athletic administration from IU in 1987. Involved in all facets of soccer, Getman has been South Region coach for the U.S. Soccer Festival. He was the chairman of the soccer games committee for the 1996 Birmingham Olympic Soccer Committee. He has also served as a guest columnist on the 1998 World Cup Tournament for the Birmingham Post-Herald. He and his wife, Rena, reside in Homewood. They have three children, Nathan (20), Eli (15), and Ethan (14).

JUSTUS GRIFFIN Assistant Coach • 20th Season UAB, 1994 Justus Griffin, who has been a part of the UAB men’s soccer program since head coach Mike Getman’s first season back in 1992, begins his 20th season with the Blazers’ staff. He assists with on-the-field coaching and the general administration of the program. “Justus has been with our program as a player and as a coach for over 20 years and he is a big part of our success,” said Getman. “I am very fortunate to have an assistant who understands our team and what we expect so well.” The Griffin File Coaching Experience 1995 - Present............................... UAB (AC)

Griffin is involved in all aspects of the program, including recruiting, scheduling and coordinating travel. During his tenure, UAB has achieved unprecedented success with seven NCAA tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight and two Sweet 16 teams.

Griffin was a three-year letterwinner for the Blazers (1992-94) as a defender. He helped lead the Blazers to the program’s first conference championship and NCAA Tournament in 1994. He finished his playing career having started 59-of-60 matches in his three seasons. He scored one goal and tallied 10 assists and was selected to the Great Midwest All-Newcomer team in 1992. After his career with the Blazers, Griffin signed a contract to play with the Chattanooga Express of the EISL in 1994. He played one year with the Express before returning to the UAB program at the beginning of the 1995 campaign. Prior to coming to Birmingham, he played one season (1991) at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Miss., where he was selected the team’s Best Defensive Player. Griffin received his United States Soccer Federation (USSF) “B” license and is a member of the Alabama ODP staff. He resides in Birmingham.

JOEL WALLACE Assistant Coach • 6th Season MacMurray, 1991 Joel Wallace, a former UAB assistant who spent 11 years as the head men’s soccer coach at Westminster (Mo.) College, enters his sixth season in his second stint on the Blazers’ staff. Wallace specializes in working with goalkeepers and continues that role in his position with the Blazers. UAB head coach Mike Getman feels Wallace is an excellent asset to his staff and for his players.

The Wallace File Coaching Experience 2009 - Present............................... UAB (AC) 1998-2008..................... Westminster (HC) 1997 ...................................MacMurray (HC) 1996 ................................. Connecticut (AC) 1994-95........................................... UAB (AC) 1992-94............................. MacMurray (AC)

“Coach Wallace brings a lot of energy and experience to our team,” said Getman. “I am very excited to have such an outstanding coach in our program. His primary responsibility is coaching our goalkeepers, but he will have a hand in all aspects of UAB Soccer.” Wallace, who boasts more than 20 years of collegiate soccer coaching experience, was the head men’s coach at Westminster from 1998-2008. Additionally, he coached the women’s soccer team from 2005-08. Wallace was an assistant coach at UAB under Getman from 1994-95.

Wallace left the Westminster men’s program as the winningest soccer coach in school history, racking up an 11-year record of 105-85-16. Additionally, he guided the Blue Jays to the school’s first conference title in soccer and its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2002. Including his one year spent as a head coach at his alma mater, MacMurray (Mo.) College, Wallace has compiled a career record of 121-91-17 during his 12-year head coaching career. Prior to becoming a collegiate head coach, Wallace spent five seasons as an assistant coach at MacMurray College (1992-94) and Connecticut (1996), as well as with the Blazers. While at UAB, Wallace also earned his master’s degree in athletic administration. Wallace is a graduate of MacMurray College where he earned first-team all-conference and all-region honors in the net. During his playing days (1988-91), Wallace helped lead MacMurray to the NCAA Division III Sweet 16 (1990) and Elite Eight (1991). He was also tabbed a two-time Prairie College Conference Most Valuable Player (1989 and 1990). He still holds several school records, including most career shutouts (40), most shutouts in a season (18 in 1991), and most consecutive shutouts (7). His 18 shutouts during the 1991 campaign also are an NCAA Division III record. Wallace has two children, a daughter, Ryli (19), and son, Kevin (17).

2013 SEASON REVIEW UAB Men’s Soccer Leads Nation In Scoring The UAB men’s soccer team recorded 2.39 goals per game for the 2013 season, which was the top mark in scoring offense in the country. The NCAA officially recognized the Blazers’ program this week as the national statistical champion. This marked the first time that the UAB men’s soccer team has led the nation in scoring. The Blazers scored at least two goals in 14 of their 18 matches during the 2013 campaign. UAB also tallied at least four goals in four matches in 2013. That marked the most times the squad had done so since the 2010 season. Among The Best In The Land UAB was ranked among the best Division I men’s soccer programs throughout the 2013 season. The squad soared as high as No. 8 in the nation in the NSCAA Poll. Following its season-opening victories at the VCU Nike Classic, UAB was ranked in both the NSCAA and Soccer America Poll. The squad remained ranked in both polls the remainder of the regular season. In fact, UAB was ranked No. 21 in the final NSCAA Poll before the start of the NCAA Tournament.

Raphael Ville became the first UAB goalkeeper since Loukas Papaconstantinou in 1995 to earn All-Region First Team honors.

Four Blazers Named All-Midwest Region

Clay Earns C-USA Golden Boot Award

Four members of the 2013 UAB men’s soccer team were named to the 2013 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men’s All-Midwest Region teams, as it was announced on Tuesday. This marks the third time in program history that four members of the UAB men’s soccer team earned All-Region accolades in the same season.

Midfielder Alex Clay shared the inagural Conference USA Golden Boot Award, given to the league’s leading goal-scorer in conference action. Clay had seven goals in Conference USA action.

Goalkeeper Raphael Ville was the lone Blazer to be recognized on the first team. Midfielder Alex Clay, defender Darion Copeland, and forward Freddy Ruiz all were named to the second team.

The Huntsville, Ala. native finished the season with 22 points (eight goals and six assists), good enough for second on the squad, fifth in the conference, and 38th in the country. Earlier in the season, Clay was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts against Belmont and Kentucky. Six Blazers Earn All-Conference USA Honors Six members of the UAB men’s soccer team were named to the 2013 All-Conference USA teams, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Four of the six Blazers recognized made their first appearance on the All-Conference USA squads. Forward Freddy Ruiz was the team’s lone first-team selection. Midfielder Alex Clay and forward Diego Navarrete were second-team honorees, while goalkeeper Raphael Ville an defender Darion Copeland were selected to the third team. Forward Rami Dajani was named to the conference all-freshmen squad. Michalak Named Academic All-American Defender Ian Michalak of the UAB men’s soccer team was named to the Capital One Academic All-America Second Team, CoSIDA announced on Tuesday. Michalak became the second UAB men’s soccer player all-time to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, joining Lukasz Kwapisz (2005-06).

Adeniran scored the game-winning goal on the road against Tulsa on Saturday, Oct. 19. The Houston, Texas native received a pass from redshirt senior midfielder Fatai Alabi and finished farpost past the Tulsa keeper. It marked his first goal of the year and first since 2011.

Ian Michalak became the second player in program history to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2013.

defender tallied his first goal of his collegiate career against Mercer on Sunday, Sept. 21. In addition, Michalak was part of a UAB defense that had five clean sheets, which ranked sixth in Conference USA. In the classroom, the neuroscience major has a 3.94 cumulative GPA. Earlier this year, Michalak was recognized on the Conference USA All-Academic Team and CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 Team for efforts off the pitch. He has earned Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and Conference USA Academic Medal accolades every year he has been in Birmingham.

Clay led the UAB men’s soccer team to two victories against Belmont and Kentucky. On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the Huntsville, Ala. native tallied a then-career-best three points on one goal and one assist against Belmont. It marked the first time Clay registered a goal since the 2010 season. On Sunday, Sept. 29, Clay scored his second goal in two games as UAB recorded a 2-1 win against in-conference foe Kentucky. Navarrete tallied seven points (three goals, one assist) at the VCU Nike Classic. On Friday, Aug. 30, Navarrete led the Blazers up front, scoring two goals to propel the team to a 4-0 win against then-No. 24 VCU. It matched the most goals he had scored in a single game. The Santiago, Chile native followed up that performance with a goal and assist in the squad’s 5-1 victory against High Point.

Leaving Their Mark The 2013 UAB men’s soccer team certainly made its mark in program history. The squad broke numerous program records over the course of the 2013 campaign. In its first home match, a West Campus Field-record crowd of 3,205 witnessed the Blazers defeat Indiana, the defending national champions. The team won eight of its first 10 matches of the year, marking the squad’s best start to a season since 2001, as well. With the team’s victory at Tulsa on Saturday, Oct. 19, UAB eclipsed the 10-win mark for the fifth straight year. The program record is nine consecutive years, as the Green and Gold won at least 10 matches each year from 1993-2001. Individually, forward Diego Navarrete matched the UAB record for assists in a single game. The junior forward dished out four helpers in the squad’s 6-2 victory against Florida Atlantic on Sunday, Oct. 6. With the squad’s victory against FIU on Wednesday, Oct. 16, head coach Mike Getman collected his 90th career victory in C-USA play. Getman is the winningest coach in conference history. 4 1

CONFERENCE USA Conference USA celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2014-15, welcoming newcomer Western Kentucky University into the fold on July 1. The league has transformed through its two decades, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student athletes in athletics, academics and community is unwavering.

In addition to the numerous NCAA Tournament berths, C-USA has sent four men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, three softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the NCAA Sweet 16. The league has also had 35 national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving, and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis, and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 800 NCAA appearances.

Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and WKU.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance of student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

Since beginning competition in 1995, Conference USA teams have combined for 83 bowl appearances in football, 100 NCAA Tournament Britton Banowsky appearances in basketball including three Final Fours, 60 NCAA baseball appearances including six College World Series berths, 71 NCAA soccer tournament appearances including four trips to the College Cup, and 35 individual national champions in track and field and cross country. Success is not limited to athletic achievement, however, as 186 Conference USA student-athletes have garnered Academic All-America honors, 651 have achieved academic all-district laurels and thousands of student-athletes have earned their college degrees. Conference USA sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball). The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sport-specific All-Academic teams. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.

C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago. C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights, and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and those numbers have more than doubled. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming. C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of nearly 30 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award. GOVERNANCE Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors. A PROUD HISTORY Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences.

WEST CAMPUS FIELD scrimmage the full National Team. The Blazers took on the U.S. U-17 squad in an exhibition match in 2004, as well. West Campus Field was also the sight for the U.S. National Team’s training for their 2005 World Cup Qualifier against Guatemala. UAB also hosted the Colorado Rapids in an exhibition game in the spring of 2005. Additionally, the Blazers have been one of the top draws in NCAA men’s soccer. In 2013, a West Campus Field regular-season record crowd of 3,205 fans witnessed UAB defeat 2012 national champion Indiana, 2-1, in overtime. The Blazers set an all-time attendance record on Aug. 22, 2009 when they took on Clemson in an exhibition contest to begin the 2009 season. WCF saw an all-time record of 3,481 fans pack the stadium for the 3-0 victory. In fact, over the past 11 seasons, the Blazers have finished among the top-50 in the nation in average attendance four times (2003: 16th, 2006: 31st, 2011: 29th, 2013: 39th) and total attendance three times (2003: 25th, 2006: 43rd, 2011: 22nd). 3,205 people came out to witness the 2013 UAB men’s soccer team defeat 2012 national champion Indiana in overtime.

One of the most imposing home fields in all of college soccer, UAB’s West Campus Field is in its 22nd season of service to the Blazers in 2013. The facility was expanded in 1999 to include a practice field behind the game surface. This, along with other major structural improvements, have given UAB one of the best overall soccer facilities in the nation. Prior to the 1998 season, several improvements were made to the facility, including stadium seating for men’s and women’s soccer. The stadium seating holds 1,500 spectators to push the maximum capacity of West Campus Field to over 2,500.

Directions to West Campus Field

“West Campus Field is a tremendous facility,” UAB head coach Mike Getman said. “The addition of the stadium and the practice field area make it one of the top fields in college soccer. We thank all those who were involved in the effort to make the improvements a reality.”

As stated prior, UAB and the Alabama Sports Foundation hosted the 2011 NCAA Men’s College Cup, as well. It marked the first time UAB was named as the host school for an NCAA Division I championship in any sport. Also, it was the first time the state of Alabama hosted the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship. “We are honored that UAB has the opportunity to serve as the host school for the NCAA Men’s College Cup,” UAB Athletics Director Brian Mackin said at the time of the announcement. “This is the premier event in collegiate soccer and we’re excited to have a national championship coming to the Birmingham-Hoover metropolitan area. The NCAA Men’s College Cup will be a great platform to showcase our community and promote UAB Athletics. We look forward to hosting a first-class event that the NCAA, student-athletes, and soccer fans will be proud of and enjoy.” “Certainly everyone associated with the UAB soccer program is excited to have the opportunity to host the 2011 NCAA Championship,” UAB head men’s soccer coach Mike Getman said. “I think it will be a big boost in terms of recruiting and fan support in just the amount of publicity this event will generate. It will be a great event for college soccer and we are excited to help this event grow. I think UAB, the Alabama Sports Foundation, and the city of Hoover will do a great job putting on a world class event and make it something special.”

What is “Soccer for a Cure”? The objective of these initiatives are to raise awareness of and donations to cancer related organizations in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama that are helping families in their battle against cancer. It is also a way to build a support group of volunteers across the United States that are willing to reach out and help families dealing with cancer in their community. “Soccer for a Cure” is a non-profit organization. Its purpose is to serve as a place where all levels of the soccer nation (youth, club, high school, college, adult, and professional) can stand together as a team to help families fight the battle against all types of cancer. Why was it started? It was started in January, 2008 by Charlie Corbitt, a cancer survivor and warrior advocate for others affected with cancer. He has been involved in college and high school soccer since 1993 and is currently the manager of the “SIS College Soccer Scoreboard” and the “National High School Soccer Scoreboard”. His hope is that the soccer nation will one day stand together hand in hand as one and become proactive in the fight against cancer. UAB “Soccer For A Cure” Classic The objective is to raise awareness of the battle that families deal with daily when a child has cancer. Additionally, the organization wants to raise as much as possible for the Alabama Children’s Hospital by asking thousands of families in Alabama. This year’s participating teams include tournament host UAB, Dayton, Jacksonville, and Vermont. Prior to the start of the tournament, selected student-athletes and coaches from each participating team will make a visit to the Children’s Hospital on the UAB Campus. The group will spend a day visiting with children, signing autographs and playing games, among other things, with children who may not have a chance to come see any of the weekend soccer action. It is not required, but fans in attendance are asked to make a modest donation (we suggest $5.00) during the UAB “Soccer For A Cure” Classic in September.

UAB ADMINISTRATION DR. RAY WATTS, PRESIDENT Ray L. Watts, M.D., UAB’s seventh president, has demonstrated visionary leadership in education, research and clinical care throughout his career. A Birmingham native and graduate of West End High School, Dr. Watts earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering at UAB in 1976. The collaborations he had with biomedical engineering students as an undergraduate inspired him to expand his career horizons and, four years later, he graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as valedictorian of his class. Dr. Watts completed a neurology residency, medical internship, and clinical fellowships at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by a two-year medical staff fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. Before returning to UAB in 2003, he was part of a team that helped to create an internationally renowned research and clinical center for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders at Emory University in Atlanta. At UAB, Dr. Watts served as the John N. Whitaker Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology. There he led the development of an interdisciplinary research program aimed at translating scientific breakthroughs into promising new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and played a key role in the establishment of the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center. He also was named president of the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation. In 2010, Dr. Watts accepted the position of Senior Vice President and Dean of the School of Medicine at UAB, and later was named to the James C. Lee Jr. Endowed Chair. As dean, Dr. Watts – in partnership with UAB Health System and Health Services Foundation leaders – initiated the AMC21 comprehensive strategic plan, encompassing education, research, clinical care and primary care. AMC21 aims to make UAB “the preferred academic medical center of the 21st century,” and has led to the recruitment of outstanding faculty, the launch of programs to accelerate research and drug discovery, and the development of a third regional medical campus in Montgomery, among other successes. He has been tireless in his efforts to enhance medical student training—from increasing available scholarships to supporting Equal Access Birmingham, a volunteer organization in which students provide care to underserved patients—and to foster stronger relationships with medical alumni throughout the state. “People want to invest in the future—in solutions that will have a real impact on our health, education and our economy,” Dr. Watts has said. “So the state and community want us to develop our ideas and capitalize on opportunities to lead. UAB can be one of the most dymanic and productive universities of the 21st century, and that is our vision.” Dr. Watts and his wife Nancy, who just retired as a nurse at UAB, have five grown children.

BRIAN MACKIN, ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Brian Mackin was named UAB’s Director of Athletics on February 14, 2007. He moved into the position after spending five years as senior associate athletic director for external affairs for the Blazers. A former UAB baseball letterman, Mackin has a deep-rooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director. Mackin’s desire to see UAB excel both on and off the playing field was never more apparent than this past academic year when the Blazers turned in their highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings in 12 years. He has made success in the classroom and improving athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions. Under Mackin’s watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mission to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete’s experience while at UAB. Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions. Mackin’s priority on academics has paid dividends as the Blazers’ Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores have improved each year under his tenure as AD. The most recent APR report released in June showed that all but three of UAB’s teams have a multi-year rate of 950 or better. Since Mackin became athletics director, a new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened. A new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers’ Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices. Other facilities improvements have included the resurfacing of the track for the Blazers’ track and field team. The first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed prior to the start of the 2010 season. This past February, the Don and Alicia Huey Softball Hitting Facility was dedicated. The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academics. In the last two years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB’s athletics teams. In his position as athletics director, Mackin has also been involved on various conference and national committees. He just completed his first year as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic department. In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin’s leadership, contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Investors Group, the Champion Club, and the Blazer Club, which brought together the two annual funds supporting football and men’s basketball. Prior to joining UAB, Mackin served as Manager of Corporate Business Development at Vulcan Materials, where he was responsible for examining potential new markets for business development and locating growth opportunities in the industry. Mackin earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from UAB in 1983. He was a member of the Blazer baseball team four seasons and then moved into the Houston Astros baseball organization where he spent one season. Mackin then joined Vulcan Materials, where he held management positions in sales and market analysis. In 1990, he joined Southern Ready Mix as sales manager before joining Dunn Construction in 1993 where he rose to vice president in 1999. His responsibilities included business development, sales and project management. Mackin’s community activities include the Birmingham Tip-Off Club, which hosts the State High School Final Four, the Monday Morning Quarterback Club and the Birmingham Rotary Club. He has served as the president of the Birmingham Tip-Off Club. In addition, Mackin is a member of the Public Athletic, Cultural and Entertainment Facilities Board of the City of Birmingham (PACE). Mackin and his wife, Sally, have five children: Ragland (24), Brian Jr. (22), Ferrell (19), Mary Aileen (18), and Ella (16).

SINCE BECOMING an autonomous campus of The University of Alabama System in 1969, UAB has earned international renown for its innovative academic programs in a range of disciplines, groundbreaking research and leading-edge patient care. The University comprises 10 schools (Business, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry and Public Health and a College of Arts and Sciences) and has seen record enrollment for five consecutive years, reaching 18,568 in 2013. Students are 26% African-American, 60% female and represent more than 100 countries, contributing to campus consistently recognized among the nation’s most diverse in The Princeton Review.

Academic programs at all levels are nationally recognized for their exceptional research and service learning opportunities. Undergraduate programs offer the type of hands-on, closely mentored research experiences found primarily at the graduate level in most universities, such as Alabama’s only undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering, a program in the neurosciences conducted jointly with the School of Medicine, and new majors in Biomedical Sciences, Public Health and Informatics. U.S. News & World Report 2015 “Best Graduate Schools” lists 12 UAB programs in the top 25 and The Scientist “Best Places to Work as a Postdoc” ranks UAB first among all U.S. universities. Driven by an intensely collaborative and entrepreneurial character, UAB’s robust research enterprise ranks 23rd in funding from National Institutes of Health (11th among public universities), with more than $454 million in external funding. This wide-ranging research spans the continents in scope: Developing revolutionary treatments for the most devastating human diseases, from cancer to AIDS to Parkinson’s; using satellite remote sensing to reveal lost settlements in Egypt and the Roman Empire (as featured on BBC and Discovery Channel); pioneering new materials for everything from stronger military gear to bio-coatings for cardiac stents; and combating global cybercrime in a one-of-a-kind cyber forensics center, collaborating with the FBI, Homeland Security and industry partners.

UAB drives the region’s economy with a statewide impact exceeding $5 billion annually. As Alabama’s largest single employer (over 23,000 employees), UAB supports more than 61,000 jobs state-wide—one of every 33 Alabama jobs. The Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has generated some $64 million in revenues and spun off more than 58 start-up companies, and Innovation Depot—in which UAB is a founding partner—is the largest business incubator in the Southeast, with 95 companies and a $1 billion economic impact over the past four years. As a leading academic medical center, UAB also translates its research into the highest quality patient care, treating more than a million patients annually. UAB Hospital (with 1,157 beds), the largest in Alabama and 3rd largest public hospital in the U.S., houses the state’s only level 1 adult trauma center, and is the only Alabama hospital to be listed in every annual issue of U.S. News & World Report “America’s Best Hospitals” (24 straight years). The UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only NCI-designated center in Alabama and a six-state region, and houses a state-of-the-art Advanced Imaging Facility and the most powerful cyclotron at any U.S. academic medical center. UAB also promotes the cultural and artistic vitality of its community and state. The Alys Stephens Center for the Performing Arts had total attendance of more than 104,000 in 2013 and is the anchor of a burgeoning Cultural Arts Corridor, which was recently expanded with the opening of the Abroms-Engel Institute for Visual Arts.

UAB’S DECADES-LONG PARTNERSHIP with its community and state has led to the economic, cultural and social renaissance of Birmingham, as the city has grown from a primarily steel-based economy to a thriving nexus of R&D, medicine, banking and other service industries. That partnership continues as UAB garners overwhelming support for its largest philanthropic campaign ever, the $1 billion Campaign for UAB: Give Something, Change Everything. As of March 2014, nearly 71,000 donors had given $473.4 million to this campaign that will dramatically advance UAB’s mission and transform the future of Birmingham and Alabama.
