2011-12 MEDIA GUIDE

RAIDER FACTS Origin of the Raiders In 1984, the MSOE men’s basketball team, coached by Bob Peterson, viewed the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. They were so thrilled by the movie that they wrote to Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, asking permission to adopt the name “Raiders” as their team nickname. Spielberg wrote back, granting permission.

Previously, MSOE teams carried the nickname “Pats” for St. Patrick, the patron saint of engineers. Since 1984, they have been known as the Raiders.

Rowdy Raiders In 1996-97, the second year of Dan Harris’ administration as director of athletics, SAAC Chairman and baseball pitcher Greg Beskow dubbed MSOE fans the “Rowdy Raiders.” The name caught on and has been around ever since. In 2004 when the Kern Center opened, Harris designated Student Section C, where the Rowdy Raiders were seated, as the “Red Sea.” All students in that section traditionally wear the color red.

Roscoe Raider In 1997, SAAC students sponsored a contest to name the new Raider mascot. The caricature for the Raider was developed by the MSOE Marketing and Public Affairs Department and the Olympus Sign Company of Milwaukee created the costume. The name “Roscoe,” submitted by then-students Sarah Alt ’99 and Greg Beskow ’99, emerged as the winning choice. Since that time, the MSOE mascot has been known as “Roscoe Raider.” Many students have played the role of “Roscoe” over the years and it remains a desired position among today’s student body.

MSOE Fight Song The MSOE fight song was written by members of the MSOE Sound Engineers Pep Band, and was first played at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kern Center in the spring of 2003. It is played whenever MSOE basketball or hockey teams enter the arena.

On Broadway A rock and roll tune originally recorded by the Drifters. Since the Kern Center is on Broadway (1245 N. Broadway), the song is played at hockey games when the Raiders win.

Colors MSOE’s colors are red and white. Black trim may be used on some uniforms. The color red is often associated with energy, passion, desire, power, intensity and aggression. These are all characteristics of an MSOE athlete. White sends a message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision and goodness. Again, this is the image of MSOE athletes.

Colleges and universities in Division III place highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the successful completion of all students’ academic programs. They seek to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete’s athletic activities are conducted as an integral part of the student-athlete’s educational experience, and in which coaches play a significant role as educators. They also seek to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their studentathletes and athletics staff.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Dan Harris Dan Harris, MSOE’s director of athletics for 17 years, continues to lead the Athletics Department with innovative thinking, enthusiasm and a sense of tradition. Harris is one of the most tenured college athletic directors in the state of Wisconsin. Relying on more than 40 years of coaching and collegiate administrative experience, Harris transformed MSOE’s athletic program into a vibrant and competitive NCAA Division III program that offers students more than 20 varsity sports with facilities that rival many Division I programs.

Under Harris’ direction, the Raiders have claimed 37 conference championships and produced numerous all-conference athletes, as well as academic and athletic All-American selections. Harris, the Raiders’ first full-time athletic director, initiated the growth of the Athletics Department from a small staff of part-time coaches to a department comprised of full-time administrators, head coaches and an athletic trainer. Harris and his dedicated staff have shown the commitment to student-athlete excellence and increased the level of competition of the MSOE programs. In 16 seasons, 23 coaches have received conference coach of the year awards.

During the 2010-11 season, MSOE placed second in the Northern Athletics Conference All-Sports Award standings for men’s sports. Also, the Raiders finished in the top five for both men’s and women’s sports in the NAC Sportsmanship Awards standings.

MSOE won conference titles in indoor and outdoor track and field and finished second in golf and tennis during the past academic year. The Raiders’ second place finish tied their previous highest finish which occurred during the 2007-08 school year. Also during the 2010-11 season, MSOE ice hockey, men’s volleyball and wrestling each finished second in their respective conferences.

Harris has a long history as a collegiate soccer coach, including NCAA Division I stints at the Air Force Academy and UW-Milwaukee.

He received hall of fame honors for the seventh time in January 2011 was inducted to the MSOE Athletics Hall of Fame. His previous inductions include UWM, Concordia-Wisconsin, Nathan Hale-Ray High School, the Wisconsin Soccer Association,

Milwaukee Kickers and a charter member of the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association.

Harris began a four-year stint serving on the NCAA Division III soccer committee in September 2009. He has served as a member of the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association men’s volleyball Molten Invitational selection committee.

Harris also has chaired the NCAA Div. III Ice Hockey Committee and has served as a member of the NCAA Division III Baseball Committee.

Dedicated to creating opportunities for students to compete in varsity athletics, Harris was instrumental in forming the new Midwest Lacrosse Conference that started during the 2009-2010 school year. He served as the conference’s first commissioner.

Harris was instrumental in the founding of the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Conference and served as that league’s first president. In recognition of his efforts, the MCHA’s championship trophy has been named the Harris Cup in his honor.

In 2004, Harris oversaw the opening of the Kern Center, a $31 million, 210,000-square foot recreation, health and wellness center that provides a home for many of the university’s athletic teams and fitness facilities for students, faculty and the community.

Harris received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut and a master’s from the University of Southern California. His experience as an athletic director spans many levels; beginning with Nathan Hale-Ray High School in Connecticut, a stint at UW-Milwaukee and Concordia University-Wisconsin before taking the top post at MSOE in 1995.

Harris and his wife Barbara have two adult children, Mark and Angela. Mark and his wife Stefanie have three children, Lexi, Cade and Landon. Dan and Barbara reside in Grafton, Wis.

WHY WE PLAY DIVISION III ATHLETICS It’s not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making SportsCenter. It’s a deep need in us that comes from the heart.

We need to practice, to play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat. We do it all for our teammates and for the student in our calculus class that we don’t even know. We don’t practice with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor. We don’t run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO. It’s a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand. Sometimes we play for 2,000 fans; sometimes 25.

But we still play hard. You cheer for us because you know us. You know more than just our names. Like all of you, we are students first. We don’t sign autographs. But we do sign graduate school applications, MCAT exams and student body petitions. When we miss a kick or strike out, we don’t let down an entire state. We

only let down our teammates, coaches and fans. But the hurt is still the same. We train hard, lift, throw, run, kick, tackle, shoot, dribble, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class.

And in that class we are nothing more than students.

It’s about pride—in ourselves, in our school. It’s about our love and passion for the game. And when it’s over, when we walk off that court or field for the last time, our hearts crumble.

Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves.

We will forever be what few can claim … college athletes.

Wrestling WRESTLING • COACHES Head Coach Kevin Morin Kevin Morin has been a part of the MSOE tradition since 1978, starting out as an admission counselor and currently serving as the university’s director of human resources. Morin has also been instrumental in building the MSOE wrestling program from its humble beginnings. He is in his 19th season as head coach.

Last season, Morin was named Northern Wrestling Conference (NWC) Coach of the Year. When MSOE was in the Lake Michigan Conference, he was named Coach of the Year five times (1998, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005). Morin was also selected as Wisconsin Wrestling Coaches Association (WWCA) District 8 Coach of the Year last year, and the WWCA District 8 Co-Coach of the Year for the 2009-10 season. He was named NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year in 2002.

In his time at MSOE, Morin has coached teams to five conference titles and has guided two All-American grapplers and 23 Academic All-Americans.

WRESTLING • ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Wrestling Matt Huset ’03 was the first MSOE wrestler to earn All-American status, gaining the honor in 2003 at 197 pounds. Huset graduated with honors in 2003 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He garnered numerous accolades on and off the mat during his time at MSOE, including being named Academic All-American twice. Huset was a four-time conference champion and was named Lake Michigan Conference Wrestler of the Year in 2003. He had 108 wins in his career and holds the MSOE record for wins in a season (39 in 2002-03). Huset helped the Raiders win two conference championships (2001 and 2002). He was inducted into the MSOE Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.

Huset currently works for 3M as an engineering supervisor in Menomonie, Wis. for the film manufacturing and supply chain organization. His first job out of school was also for 3M as a process engineer in Alexandria, Minn.

How did MSOE prepare you for the real world?

I certainly learned about time management and prioritization. But probably most importantly, MSOE enabled me to learn how to learn. I gained a strong engineering foundation through the curriculum. More importantly, I learned how to solve complex problems. In my career, most of my challenges or projects don’t have solutions in a text book.

Rather, I have to investigate, experiment and become informed before I can make progress. While at MSOE, I became more comfortable in those kinds of situations. The behaviors and habits formed in all those lab hours has really paid dividends.

What do you miss most about being a Raider?

Competing. Every time I am watching college wrestling, I wish I could go back! But more than anything I miss the camaraderie of my teammates. I reflect back often to some of our accomplishments like beating a school for the first time, or winning conference.

What was your favorite team to compete against?

My first year or so, we were always considered an underdog. I guess I loved wrestling any team or opponent that was perceived to be better. Probably, I’ll always remember how amped up Coach Morin and my teammates would get before a Concordia or Lawrence meet. I always seemed to be a little more intense and focused during those weeks.

Do you have a favorite memory from your MSOE experience?

Wasn’t exactly my favorite at the time, but a few of us look back at this one now, and say, “Why did we do that?” After my first or second season, we got coach a bike to ride when we went for his famous “LSD” (long slow distance) runs by the lake. For some reason, the runs got longer and longer when that bike came around.

Can you share one unique fact about your four years at MSOE? I will try to help add perspective and appreciation for those attending MSOE. Before there was the Kern Center, there was a rented MSOE athletic facility that would be comparable to the Rocky Balboa gym. Those of us that were in that facility are truly envious of what you have today!

Matt Huset ’03 at his induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame.

Do you still play the sport you played at MSOE or play any other sports?

I only wrestle now when I come back for an alumni meet. I enjoy following college and high school wrestling though and try to make a few events a year. I look forward to maybe showing my son some wrestling moves and getting involved with his youth program someday. I find myself trying to improve my golf game, now more than anything.

What advice do you have for those considering competing as a Raider?

It’s an experience that you have to try if you’re remotely interested in competing at that level. Having an outlet from the classroom and meeting the people that turned into my core group of friends made me a better student and person.

Anything else you would like to add about MSOE? I met a lot of life-long friends while at MSOE. My wife and I still enjoy coming back to watch a meet and catch up with old friends. I still follow MSOE wrestling online. I want to have an excuse to go to La Crosse (Wis.) in the spring and cheer on a Raider or two at Nationals!!

WRESTLING • SEASON PREVIEW Wrestling

Back row, left to right: Head coach Kevin Morin, Marcus Rokosh, Andrew Dorman, Caleb Staub, William Pedersen, Austin Karls, Steven Nguyen, Kyle Perea, Adam Chaulklin, Peter Koostra, Dallas Schurg, Justin Wolfenden, Assistant coaches Matt Letto ’06 and Mario Trafficante.

Front row, left to right: Joshua Wengerter, Matthew Ostovich, Austin Binish, Joey DeCarlo, Nick Miceli, Luke Gaeth, Matt Brady, Brian Trader, Jake Narveson.

Behind a roster of experienced wrestlers and newcomers, the MSOE wrestling team will look to build on their success from last season, which included their first-ever victories over Wisconsin state schools, sending a wrestler to nationals, and a strong finish in conference. For the Raiders to reach greater heights, all members of the squad will be counted on during the 2011-12 season.

“Upperclassmen will have to step up and lead by example both in the practice room and during competitions,” said head coach Kevin Morin. “Also, the freshmen will have to make the transition to college wrestling and continue their winning ways at this level.”

During the 2010-11 season, MSOE went 9-2 in duals for the best record in school history including wins over UW-Oshkosh, UW-Eau Claire and UW-Platteville.

“Last year we proved that with hard work we could compete with some of the elite teams in the state and country,” Morin said. “This year we want to continue to do that even though we lost four starters from last year’s team to graduation.”

Senior co-captain Jake Narveson (141-pound weight class) became the seventh Raider to compete at the NCAA Division III Championships after he earned an at-large bid to the national event. Narveson got the bid after his fourth place finish at the Great Lakes Regional. In 201011, he won the Northern Wrestling Conference (NWC) title and led the team in wins (38) and falls (22). He also holds the MSOE career record for falls (54) and stands third in reversals (54).

“Jake now knows what it is like to compete with the elite wrestlers and he realizes that he is in that category,” Morin said. “His experience at the Nationals last year has made him hungry to get back there and prove that he is one of those elite wrestlers who can become an all-American.”

Junior co-captain Caleb Staub (184 pounds) won the conference title last season as did junior Steve Nguyen at the 285-pound weight class. Junior Joshua Wengerter recorded the second most wins for a Raider in 2010-11 with 22 and was conference runner-up at 149 pounds. Senior Adam Chaulklin will provide leadership for the team and will compete at 174 pounds.

“Last year, the guys began believing that they could compete with anyone,” Morin said. “They realized that everyone had a role on the team and if they fulfilled their role we would be successful. Some of the duals that we won last year were won as a result of individual victories of guys that had big performances when we needed them to step up. We will need that again this year.”

Juniors Austin Binish and Matt Ostovich each have had success in their two seasons at MSOE and Morin believes each is capable of winning 30 matches and placing at multiple tournaments. Ostovich

10

recorded 21 wins last season and finished second at the NWC tournament, while Binish had the third most near falls on the team with 16.

The sophomores have the opportunity to show off their hard work on the mat this season. The wrestler with the highest win percentage from last year was sophomore Dallas Schurg who was 19-5 and placed first at the Citrus Invitational. Sophomore Austin Karls returns from an injury that ended his 2010-11 season early. Karls will push Nguyen for the starting spot at 285 pounds.

“This competition within the practice room will make them both better for competition,” Morin said.

Sophomores Marcus Rokosh, Andrew Dorman and Kyle Perea will look to build on their experience gained during their first seasons.

There are a number of newcomers who will help the Raiders achieve their goals during the 2011-12 season.

“This is one of the most talented freshmen classes that we have ever had,” Morin said. “Their skills and work ethic are outstanding.

They will have a major impact on this team. Their youth combined with the experience of the other wrestlers gives the Raiders every reason to be optimistic about the upcoming season.”

Freshman Luke Gaeth qualified for the state tournament in Illinois and is expected to start at 125 pounds for MSOE. Also, freshmen Nick Miceli and Justin Wolfenden will battle to start at the 133-pound weight class. Wolfenden finished second at the Wisconsin state meet while Miceli was All-County in New York three times. Newcomer Peter Kootstra placed fourth at the Illinois state meet and will likely be the team’s starter at 165 pounds. Freshman William Pedersen will compete for the starting position at 174 pounds and freshman Brian Trader will add depth at 141 pounds.

Expectations for this year’s team are multifaceted. “Work hard and continue to improve throughout the year and peek at the end of the season at the conference tournament, NCAA Regional tournament (which is the qualifier for the National tournament) and send multiple guys to the National tournament and bring home some all-Americans,” Morin said.

The schedule is tough for MSOE and begins Nov. 12 at the Knox Tournament in Galesburg, Ill. The Raiders host the MSOE Invitational at the Kern Center Dec. 3. The NWC Tournament will take place in Sheboygan, Wis., Feb. 18.

“Frankly almost all of our events are challenging,” Morin said. “The Pete Wilson Invitational (Jan. 27-28) at Wheaton College is generally regarded as one of the toughest tournaments in the country. The Concordia Open (Nov. 19) is also a very tough early season tournament.”

MSOE Kern Center

This 210,000-square-foot recreation, athletic, health and wellness facility exemplifies MSOE’s philosophy of a wellrounded university experience.

This award-winning, contemporary brick and glass design, highlighted by a glass ellipse and running track that is cantilevered over the street has become an icon in Milwaukee. The Kern Center’s five levels contain an Ice Arena, an Arena for basketball and volleyball, Field House for a variety of sports, running track, two-story Fitness Center with weights and cardio machines, Wrestling Room, classrooms, offices and parking.

The Kern Center provides students with ample access to fitness, whether they are participating in NCAA athletics, intramural and club sports or individual fitness programs. It also is home to MSOE counselors, wellness workshops, the Health Center and the Servant-Leadership Office.

The Kern Center was a privately funded $31 million project named after its major contributor, the Waukesha-based Robert & Patricia Kern Family Foundation. Dr. Robert Kern is a university Regent. Other major donors include Milwaukee businessman and Regent Eckhart Grohmann and his wife, Ischi, who donated funds to buy the land.

Besides MSOE students, faculty and staff, memberships are available to alumni and the larger community. For membership information, call (414) 277-2850.
