OUTLOOK PREVIEW

Koolman brings a wealth of coaching experience, having served in the head position at Franklin Pierce for the last nine seasons before joining Kelly’s staff. Koolman guided Franklin Pierce to six consecutive berths in the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Tournament and two trips to the tournament’s Final Four (2005 and 2007). Franklin Pierce captured its first NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer national championship in 2007.

The 2009 Boston College soccer season will mark a new beginning of sorts. Returning to the roster for the team’s season-opening game on the first of September at Rhode Island are eight letterwinners and three starters from last fall’s 11-7-3 squad. That team finished tied for third in the league standings, advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Championship and the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

Saccoccio comes from nearby Northeastern, where he starred in the Huskies’ net from 2002-05 and joined the coaching staff shortly thereafter, serving as an assistant for each of the last three seasons.

Gone from the program is a formidable group of 11 seniors who exhausted their collegiate eligibility last fall. Their graduation marked the program’s first four-year group of Atlantic Coast Conference competitors, a strong contingent that directly effected the recent successes of the program.

IN GOAL Starters Returning/Lost: 0/1 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 0/1 Newcomers: 2

The seniors finished with a combined record of 39-28-8, including a striking mark of 124-0 in the last two seasons of league competition. As juniors in 2007, the soccer squad captured Boston College’s first-ever ACC titles (the team won the ACC regular-season and tournament championships that fall).

“Goalkeeper could be our strongest area. We have four goalkeepers and two are newcomers. Tunde has never played for us. Justin Luthy comes in with an impressive resume. He played with the U.S. Under-18 National Team and he’s rated as one of the top prospects in the country.” – Ed Kelly

A sizeable corps of newcomers 12 players strong will adjust to new surroundings and a fresh team dynamic. Coupled with the leadership of co-captains Mor Avi Hanan and Karl Reddick, and the return of seasoned stalwarts Jeremiah Gallington, Conor Fitzpatrick and Edvin Worley, veteran head coach Ed Kelly maintains a keen position of optimism.

For the first time in four seasons, 6-foot-5-inch, two-time All-Conference pick Chris Brown will not be patrolling the BC goal crease. This team’s goaltending situation is fresh, yet its roster features a deep and highly-competitive corps.

Brown started each of the BC’s last 51 games over the last three seasons. The Pleasant Hill, Calif., native concluded his collegiate career ranked second on the school’s all-time win lists (29) and third on its career goals against average list (0.91).

Also new to the Boston College sideline are two coaches – lead assistant Marco Koolman, who came to Boston College following the departure of Kevin Anderson for the head coaching position at Columbia University, and goalkeeping specialist Sergio Saccoccio.

Returning to the team are two veterans – senior Michael Lawless and sophomore Max Zimmerman. Lawless is a three-year member of the program and incredibly gifted student-athlete who earned Dean Scholar honors as well as the program’s prestigious Thomas McElroy Award this past spring. The honor is given annually to the player who

2009 OUTLOOK

“We have to be cautious in the sense that we have a lot of young kids,” said Kelly, now in his 22nd season at BC. “We have to keep an understanding that there will be a learning curve and a lot of teaching and development will be required. It’s a good class, but they’re young so we have to be patient.”

Jeremiah Gallington

OUTLOOK demonstrates excellence in character and performance on and off the field. Zimmerman is a 6-foot, 160-pound product of St. Paul, Minn., who returns for his sophomore season.

He earned All-Tri-Metro League honorable mention honors as a senior goalkeeper at St. Paul Academy in 2007.

Carey returns for his senior season having played in 30 matches over his first three years in the system. He has started 12 games, including eight games as a sophomore during the team’s run to the ACC regular-season and tournament titles in 2007.

Gerraty, a junior, is now in his second year on the team. A resident of Nutley, N.J., and star on St. Benedict’s state and national championship teams in 2006, Gerraty saw action in five games during his first season with the Eagles last fall. He made his collegiate debut against Boston University in the team’s 2008 season-opening game and will continue to compete for playing time this fall.

New to the roster, but a familiar face within the program, is junior transfer Tunde Ogunbiyi. The 6-foot-3-inch, 220-pound goalkeeper came to Boston College from the University of New Hampshire and sat out last fall’s soccer season for NCAA compliance regulations. A Gwynedd, Pa., resident, Ogunbiyi has starred with the Ocean City Barons of the Premier Development League during the last two years, capturing defensive Most Valuable Player honors in 2009.

Chin, an Arcadia, Calif., native, returns for his sophomore season after a productive freshman campaign in which he played in seven games and made four (consecutive) starts along BC’s backline. The 5-foot-10-inch defender saw action in four ACC matches as a freshman last fall.

First-year enrollee Justin Luthy, one of the top goalkeeping prospects in the country, will look to make an immediate impact. The Dublin, Ohio, native played each of the last two years at the Premier Soccer Academies (Lorain, Ohio) while attending Amherst High School.

There, the 6-foot, 165-pound goalkeeper captured NSCAA/adidas Youth AllAmerica honors. He was selected to the 2008-09 U-17/18 Development Academy Central Conference Starting XI and also played with the U-18 MNT in the Northern Ireland Milk Cup in July 2009.

McAlister is in his fourth year in the program. He played in six games as a freshman and suffered knee injuries during both his sophomore and junior campaigns.

Four highly-regarded newcomers – Guillaume Amarat, Stefan Carter, Boitumelo Gugushe and Sacir Hot – will also look to fill the void in the graduating class and make an immediate impact.

IN THE BACK Starters Returning/Lost: 0/4 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 4/5 Newcomers: 5 “Chris Carey has stepped up and he looks like he could secure the right fullback spot. We’re moving Conor Fitzpatrick out of the midfield to give us some depth. We also have some additional help in Guillaume Aramat … We have two very good center backs in freshmen Stefan Carter and Sacir Hot.” – Ed Kelly Four BC defenders – Paul Gerstenberger, Stephen Hepburn, Jamie Melas and Idan Shefler – graduated, having started nearly every match – precisely 226 – since sophomores in 2006.

Carter, a forward at Half Hollow Hills West who will make the switch to fullback at the collegiate level, completed his career with a school-record 165 points – 51 goals and 63 assists.

The 5-foot-11-inch 175-pound freshman earned NSCAA/adidas High School All-America honors last fall and twice captured NSCAA All-Region II (East) and All-State honors.

Conor Fitzpatrick

Gugushe, a local product from Stoughton and Worcester Academy, earned NSCAA/adidas AllRegion I (New England) honors as a senior fullback. He also captured NESPAC all-star accolades and earned team MVP honors as senior captain in 2008.

Three returning fullbacks – senior Chris Carey, junior Myles Gerraty and sophomore Patrick Chin – coupled with the maneuvering of versatile sophomore Conor Fitzpatrick and the healthy return of veteran Ernie McAlister constitute the team’s returnees at the fullback position.

Hot, a 6-foot-1-inch, 180-pound center back, served as team captain for the U-16 and U-18 New York Red Bulls. A resident of Fair Lawn, N.J., he was invited to participate in the U-18 Men’s National Team Mega Camp (Dec. 2008 – Jan. 2009 in Carson, Calif.) and played with the Red Bulls in the U-17 Clubs World Cup in Spain in August 2007.

Fitzpatrick, a starter in the center midfield in all 21 games during his freshman campaign last fall, is poised to make the switch to a defensive wing in 2009.

“Last year, Conor played in the midfield all the time,” the coach said. “Now we can release him to go a little further back. We think that is his best spot anyway. He got a lot of playing time last year because he was pressed into a starting role. But that was not the original plan. Now we can afford to do what we were thinking of to begin with in putting him on the backline.”

2009 OUTLOOK

Amarat, a native of Paris, France, attended Dauphine University in Paris for each of the last two years before enrolling in Boston College’s School of Management as a junior this fall. He is a seven-year veteran of the Athletic Club of Boulogne Billancourt.

OUTLOOK IN THE MIDFIELD Starters Returning/Lost: 1/4 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 2/5 Newcomers: 4 Perhaps one of the most interesting developments of the 2009 preseason will be within the Eagles’ midfield. Two-time All-America selection Alejandro Bedoya and four-year starter Mike Konicoff have graduated. The team’s returnees consist of two letterwinners – juniors Jeremiah Gallington and Karl Reddick – who are expected to play significant roles as central midfielders.

Reddick, a 6-foot, 165-pound product of Pottstown, Pa., has played in 41 of BC’s 42 matches over the last two seasons. An All-Conference Freshman Team honoree in 2007, he is expected to provide solid veteran leadership and a significant defensive presence in the center of the pitch.

“Karl Reddick is going to be a huge part of our midfield,” the coach said. “Karl looks fantastic right now and we’re expecting him to continue to impress. He offers a tremendous amount of energy on defense and assumes responsibility there, which is huge for us.”

Karl Reddick

Gallington has seen significant playing time off the bench during his first two seasons in the Eagles’ system and is now poised to assume a starter’s role in the midfield this fall.

A goal-scoring threat who possesses outstanding speed and quickness, the 5-foot-10inch, 180-pound Gallington scored one of BC’s most memorable goals in 2008, netting the decisive score into the left corner as the final buzzer sounded to lift the team to a 2-1 win at Yale on Oct. 14.

UP FRONT Starters Returning/Lost: 1/0 Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/5 Newcomers: 3 Two letterwinners – Mor Avi Hanan and Edvin Worley – join capable junior Dave Dale as the returnees up front.

2009 OUTLOOK

“Jeremiah Gallington is the one who has stepped it up in the preseason and is the biggest surprise in preseason camp,” the coach said. “We have moved him back to midfield and he has been absolutely great. If he continues to develop, we will have a real player here. It will take some time getting used to the new position, but he has been exceptional.”

Also among the returnees in the midfield is junior Aidan Buick. Buick is entering third year as a member of the program.

Avi Hanan has seen action in 37 career games and has registered 10 starts during his three-year collegiate career. Exceptionally gifted with his left foot, the Kiriat Ono, Israel resident, is the team’s top returning scorer, having totaled 18 points – six goals and six assists. The 5-foot-10-inch forward lifted BC to a berth in the semifinals of the ACC Championship in Cary, N.C., last fall after converting on a free kick in an overtime victory over Clemson.

New to the active roster, but certainly not to Boston College soccer, is senior midfielder Luke Kelly. An exceptional midfielder during his high school playing days at Holliston and the Holderness School, Kelly joined the team after serving as its video coordinator for each of the last three seasons.

Worley returns for his sophomore campaign having played in all 21 matches and earning All-ACC Freshmen team accolades last fall. The Jenson Beach, Fla., native finished second on the team – behind two-time All-America selection Alejandro Bedoya – with 16 points – five goals and six assists – in 2008.

Consistent with the opportunity for playing time created by the 10-member graduating class, three first-year enrollees – Kyle Bekker, Colin Murphy and Isaac Taylor – will have just that (an opportunity to play) in the BC midfield.

“Edvin looks sharp,” the coach said. “He’s had a good preseason and hopefully, he’ll improve upon the five goals he had last year.”

Dale enters his second season with the team and is in his third academic year at BC. An Eagan, Minn., resident and 2006 Pioneer Press Player of the Year, Dale will compete for playing time in 2008.

Bekker is a 5-foot-9-inch, 165-pound product of Oakville, Ontario, where played the last two seasons in the Sigma Elite Training Center (ETC) program with the U-18 team.

He traveled with Sigma to the Netherlands in March 2007 for eight matches against professional clubs and his stellar play earned him an invitation to return to train at AFC AJAX’s famed youth academy.

Also competing for a starting role and playing time are highly-regarded newcomers Kevin Mejia and Charlie Rugg.

Murphy played each of the last two seasons at Northfield Mount Hermon and earned All-New England honors as senior captain in 2008. A native of Onehunga, New Zealand, the 5-foot-10-inch midfielder has 14 international caps, including three while playing for New Zealand in the FIFA U-17 World Cup (in South Korea).

Mejia, a 6-foot-1-inch, 178-pound resident of Pasadena, Calif., is a former member of the Los Angeles Futbol Club who gained 2008 NSCAA Youth All-America honors. Mejia joined the U.S. U-18 national team for a two-week trip to South America where the team competed against Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela.

Taylor, an Ashton, Md., resident, played one season – 2008 – at Choate Rosemary Hall, earning Western New England Prep School Soccer Association all-star honors, before coming the Heights. Prior to enrolling at Choate, Taylor was a four-year starter at Loyola Blakefield High School where he served as team captain and captured All-Baltimore County and All-MIAA accolades in 2007.

Rugg, a product of Roslindale, Mass., who attended the Rivers School, enters his first year in the program as a highly-decorated high school soccer star. The 6-foot, 175-pound forward gained NSCAA/adidas Massachusetts Player of the Year laurels, Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year recognition and NSCAA/adidas high school All-America honors in 2008.

SERGIO SACCOCCIO

Assistant Coach

Marco Koolman, a highly successful head coach who guided Franklin Pierce University to the 2007 Division II National Championship, is in his first season as an assistant coach on Ed Kelly’s staff.

Sergio Saccoccio, who set goaltender standards in several statistical categories during his four-year career (2002-05) at Northeastern, enters his fourth season as a coach and his first as a member of Ed Kelly’s staff.

Koolman came to Boston College from Rindge, N.H., where he guided the Franklin Pierce men’s soccer program for the last nine seasons (2000-08). The Ravens posted a record of 125-45-21 and an 86-21-10 mark in Northeast-10 Conference competition during Koolman’s tenure.

Saccoccio spent the last three season’s as an assistant coach on the Huskies’ staff prior to his arrival at Boston College.

Summary: Senior Greg O’Neil netted the decisive goal -- the only score of the match and the first goal of his collegiate career -- to lift No. 2 Boston College to a 1-0 victory over non-conference opponent Villanova in BC’s first of two games at the adidas-Brown Classic. O’Neil one-timed a bouncing ball with his left foot from outside the 18-yard box past Villanova goalkeeper Chris Bresnahan (two saves) and inside the far post at 78:42, just more than one minute after coming off the bench and into the game. BC enjoyed an 11-9 advantage in shots in the match, including a 6-2 edge in the first 45 minutes of action.

Summary: Senior Graham Zusi netted the game’s only goal in the 11th minute of the match as No. 8 Maryland defeated No. 9 Boston College 1-0 in the ACC season opener. Zusi scored at 11:19 for the host Terrapins. The visiting Eagles totaled a 6-5 edge in shots in the final 70 minutes of play. Maryland attempted the first four shots of the game. BC senior Mike Konicoff possessed perhaps BC’s best first-half scoring opportunity in the 43rd minute. Konicoff collected a through pass on the near side and sent a hard strike along the ground at the inside of the far post with his left foot that Terrapin goalkeeper Will Swaim made a diving save on.

GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS GAME 6

Summary: Junior forward Ronnie Bouemboue scored twice -- once in the 45th minute and once in the 90th minute into an open net -- to lead North Carolina State to a 2-0 ACC victory over No. 13 Boston College. Bouemboue notched his third and fourth goals of the season in the victory, NC State’s first win over the Eagles in the last four meetings. Boston College totaled a 14-6 shot advantage in the match and directed eight shots on junior goalkeeper Christopher Widman, who notched his first shutout this season. Junior forward Mor Avi Hanan, senior fullback Paul Gerstenberger and senior midfielder Mike Konicoff each hit two shots on goal apiece for the visiting Eagles. NC State later forfeited the victory. Individual statistics and coaching records, however, reflect a 2-0 Wolfpack victory.

GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS Maryland broke through against Boston College in most unlikely fashion to post a 1-0 win in Friday night’s first ACC Men’s Soccer Championship semifinal match.

The second-seeded Terps got on the board by virtue of a BC own-goal with 12:35 to play, and that proved the difference. Maryland’s winning score was set up by forward Jason Herrick, who drilled a hard shot on goal that was deflected by Eagles keeper Chris Brown. But the ball caromed off BC freshman back Patrick Chin into the back of the netting. Maryland held the lead the rest of the way and to assure freshman goalkeeper Zac MacMath, who recorded three saves, of his seventh save of the season. Brown recorded four saves for the third-seeded Eagles (10-7-2), who fell short in their bid for a second straight ACC Championship title. The final score mirrored the regular-season meeting between the teams, which saw Maryland win 1-0 at College Park on Sept. 12.

host Eagles (8-6-2, 4-3-0 ACC). Chin got BC on the scoreboard early, netting his second goal of the season at 3:34. Worley doubled the BC lead 80:52 later - at 84:26.

Bedoya redirected a long free kick from senior Idan Shefler that Worley one-timed into the net. BC saluted its 11-member senior class just prior to kickoff.

TOM M MccELROY AWARD AN EAGLE FOR ALL-TIME Tom McElroy was a very special young man. He came to the Heights from Boston College High, where he was an All-Conference midfielder. In the fall of his freshman year, Tom elected not to try out for the squad. His determination to focus on his studies exclusively, lasted less than a semester. He joined the team for the indoor soccer program that winter.

The culmination of the indoor season was the prestigious UConn tournament that attracted some 30 teams. BC was to participate, but almost withdrew because it lost its goalkeepers to injuries and exams. Into the breach stepped Tom. Playing a totally unfamiliar position, the converted midfielder led the Eagles to a surprising fourth place finish, and was named the all-tournament goalkeeper. Tom’s collegiate soccer career had begun. Tom was a tireless worker, willing to make any sacrifice to become a top flight collegiate goaltender. His work ethic was without parallel, and by his senior year, 1979, he was a top college keeper, and a definite pro prospect.

In 1979 Boston College upgraded its schedule to include national powers St. Louis and San Francisco. St. Louis bested the Eagles, 2-0, but co-captain McElroy stopped three breakaways. San Francisco, defending NCAA champs, couldn’t get the ball past him. In an early season snowstorm, the teams battled to a 0-0 tie, as Tom robbed four USF players of breakaway goals. “By 1979, he was the best I’d ever seen against the breakaway,” commented Ben Brewster, BC’s soccer coach.

In January of his senior year, Tom and his family learned that he was suffering from cancer. Treatments began, and things looked hopeful for awhile. Because he had only played three years of varsity soccer, Tom decided to return the next fall and play a final varsity season. Although he wasn’t as physically strong as before, and had to miss some games for treatments or recuperation, Tom let on to no one. Only Coach Brewster and Bill Flynn, BC’s Athletic Director, knew of his illness. Tom played half the games in a successful 15-3-3 season. His final appearance was a 3-1 ECAC play-off victory over Bridgeport, the Eagles’ first soccer championship.

Tom was an outstanding goaltender, but what endures are the impressions he made on those who knew him: “Tom McElroy was the kind of person you would pick first if you were building a team from scratch. He was the first one at practice. If something had to be done he was always there. If you needed a smiling face to drop by, he invariably showed up. He was just a fabulous young man”, commented Ben Brewster. “Every time we ran a clinic for a youth group, the kids would flock to him. They really loved him. He was a great teacher with incredible patience”, noted a former teammate. An(Presented to the Boston College junior men’s other teammate noted “….Hardly a day in my life goes by without some thought of Boston College; and I often and women’s soccer players who demonstrate excellence in soccer in the Boston College remember fondly my friendship both on and off the field with Tom. In my mind, his memory is a challenge, not program) just to the recipients of the Scholarship, but to each of us as Boston College Alumni…. – to push ourselves a 1984 Ed Capobianco little harder – to be the best that we can be at work or play, or in our personal lives. Tom’s zest for life is still 1985 David Beltramini with us who were fortunate to know him…….”

When Tom completed his career, he had set Boston College 1986 Scott Jones 1987 Ara Barsamian soccer records for most games played (43), most shutouts in a season (10) and career (20), and lowest goals 1988 Stephen McNear against average in a career (1.05).

1989 Stuart Tallmadge Tom died on July 17, 1981, at age 22, succumbing to cancer after a characteristically courageous battle.

1990 Andrew Sage On October 23, 1987, Tom was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Hall of Fame, the first soccer 1991 Brendan McCarthy 1992 Brian Boussy player so honored.

1993 Steve Johnson In September, 2000, almost 20 years after Tom died, the McElroy family received this note from another of 1994 Carlos Casas Tom’s teammates, “….I often think of Tom’s passing in the summer between my sophomore and junior years 1995 Marc Bala at BC. My clearest memory of Tom off the soccer field is the way he befriended the freshman players on the 1996 Daryl Gioffre soccer team each year. He always reached out to the new guys in 1997 Mat Dunn 1998 Keith McDonald a way that none of the other upper-classmen did….”

1999 Paul Cornoni The McElroy family established the Tom McElroy Memorial Scholarship on November 16, 1983, with an 2000 Chris Hamblin initial balance of $3,095, representing contributions to Boston College in Tom’s memory. In 2005, it became the 2001 Chris Cleary first athletic memorial scholarship at BC to exceed $1m, and continues to be the number one athletic memorial 2002 Casey Schmidt 2003 Paul Chase scholarship. From inception through the end of the 2008-2009 academic year, 92 student-athletes received aid 2004 Bill Arnault totaling $767,053. Mike Lawless, from East Aurora, N.Y., a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, with a 2005 Sam Brill physics major, is the 2009 soccer player who best demonstrates the qualities and attributes we remember so 2006 Issey Maholo well in Tom. All recipients, including Mike, exhibit Tom’s enthusiasm for soccer and dedication to excellence.

THE ACC

BC

THE TRADITION Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor.

However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency.

Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds.

Now in its 57th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.

Since its inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 113 national championships, including 60 in women’s competition and 53 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 125 times in men’s competition and 84 times in women’s action.

Since 1953, when the league adopted men’s soccer and a tradition of excellence was established, the ACC has continued to soar to new heights. The 2008 season was no different, as the league earned its 13th men’s soccer National Championship when the Maryland Terrapins won the 2008 NCAA Title, their second in four years. In addition, the ACC owned 75 percent of the Final Four field, as Maryland, North Carolina and Wake Forest all earned spots. Last season also marked the fifth consecutive year and the eighth time overall that the ACC sent two teams to the NCAA Semifinals and the first time in NCAA history that the two teams in the title game were from the same conference.

The ACC led all conferences with six teams selected to the 2008 NCAA Tournament Field of 48, while four of the six teams that participated in NCAA Tournament action earned a top-16 national seed and a first-round bye. The ACC earned the top seed for the 10th time since seeding began in 1994.

In 2005, the ACC set a conference record with eight teams selected to the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship field, while 2006 saw seven selected.

Defending national champion Wake Forest collected the No. 1 overall seed in the Demon Deacons’ 13th NCAA appearance and eighth consecutive. Wake finished the 2008 season as the ACC regular-season champion, earning the No. 1 seed in the league’s postseason tournament, and posted the first unbeaten regular season in program history.

In addition, the 2008 ACC Men’s Soccer Championship, which was held in Cary, N.C., drew nearly 7,500 fans.

The league’s programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the NCAA Tournament, having made 156 appearances that include 209 victories in the last 50 years, 13 national crowns and 20 appearances in the NCAA title game.

The ACC has placed 127 players on All-America lists, totaling 239 All-America accolades, 18 National Player of the Year and five National Rookie of the Year honors. In 2008, the ACC placed a conference-high six student-athletes on the Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy semifinalist list and a league-high two on the final ballot in teammates

Sam Cronin and Marcus Tracy of Wake Forest. In the end it went to senior forward Tracy, who closed his career with his personal best single season that included a 2008 All-ACC first-team selection, 13 goals and 10 assists, becoming one of just two players in college soccer to finish the year with double-digit totals in goals and assists.

2008-09 IN REVIEW The 2008-09 academic year saw league teams capturing five national team titles and 21 individual NCAA crowns. The ACC has now won 48 national team titles over the last 13 years and two or more NCAA titles in 27 of the past 29 years.

A total of 130 league teams earned a berth in NCAA postseason competition, compiling a 130-74-1 (.637) mark in NCAA championships. The ACC had 88 teams ranked in the final Top 25 polls, including 33 teams ranked in the Top 10, while six teams finished No. 1 in at least one poll in their respective sport.

In addition, the ACC had 266 league student-athletes named to All-America teams in 2008-09, 133 men and 133 women, and 95 ACC athletes earned Academic All-America honors.

The league produced nine national Player of the Year, three national Freshman of the Year, and five national Coach of the Year honorees.

THE CHAMPIONSHIPS The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2009-10 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women.

The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year.

The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981.

Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet being held in tennis at Wake Forest University.

Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing, while volleyball determines its champion in regular season play.

NEWTON CAMPUS COMPLEX Nestled behind the law school on Boston College’s Newton Campus is one of nation’s elite soccer facilities.

Completely updated in 2008, the Newton Campus Soccer Complex features a newly installed Polytan artificial playing surface.

Polytan surfaces are used at the World Cup Stadium in Stuttgart, Germany, the Olympic Stadium in Munich, the Football Academy FC Bayern, the Stadium La Maladiere in Switzerland and Warsteiner Stadium, host of the 2006 World Cup. With the addition of the Polytan artificial playing surface, coupled with offseason updates that include permanent team benches canopied to guard against the elements and a 30-seat, enclosed press box complete with a roof-deck video-filming area, Boston College is proud to boast a brand new state-of-the-art facility.

The artificial playing surface made its regular-season debut on Aug. 29, 2008 against Boston University.

Overall, the field is entering its ninth year in existence. It spent the first eight seasons as a natural grass pitch before switching to the artificial turf this past year. Lights were added to the field prior to the 2003 campaign.

With its close proximity to the freshmen dorms, the “Superfans,” BC’s collective student fan base, frequent games to provide a boisterous and exciting atmosphere. Decked in bright gold t-shirts, Superfans, friends and family alike sit near the action, and the close tree line provides an intimate atmosphere for soccer matches.

BC

The field was dedicated on Sept. 12, 1999 with a 3-0 win for the men’s team over Army. It captured the Soccer Manager’s Association College Soccer Field of the Year in 1999.

Since it’s opening, the men’s team has registered a 54-20-7 mark on its home turf.

TLI SPORTS TLI Sports is proud to have been chosen by Boston College to supply and install Polytan’s renowned Ligaturf synthetic turf system at Boston College’s Newton Campus Soccer Complex as the first synthetic turf game field in the ACC Soccer Conference. With close to six decades of combined company experience, TLI Sports and Polytan are committed to providing the best possible surfaces, installation and construction services for sports facilities at every level.

Built to the highest standard thus far demanded for any synthetic turf field in North America-FIFA Certification for 5 years-the 100,000 square foot installation is comprised of a 40mm monofilament fiber installed over a 25mm paved elastic layer. Together with rounded silica sand, the system utilizes the next generation of infill called BionPro, a specially made environmentally friendly thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) offering advanced elasticity, durability, recyclability, temperature reduction and resistance to UV degradation.

“The field is one of a kind in this country. It’s absolutely a fantastic field. It shows the commitment of our University and our athletic director to put that kind of resources into our athletics programs.”

BOSTON COLLEGE Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants.

It was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Today, it is one of the foremost universities in the nation, with a coeducational enrollment of 14,500 undergraduate and graduate students. Boston College has drawn students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries.

Boston College has grown not just in size, but also in stature and diversity. Today, it is ranked among the top 34 national universities by US News & World Report. Its Graduate School of Social Work is listed among the nation’s top 15, also by US News, while the graduate programs of its Lynch School of Education are among the top 20 and its Connell School of Nursing and Law School are among the top 30. In addition, eight undergraduate programs of the Carroll School of Management placed among the top 10 in the nation according to BusinessWeek, with accounting placing first in its category. Boston College is among the nation’s most selective universities, with nearly 30,000 applications received for its 2,250-member Class of 2013, and is numbered among the top American private research universities.

BC

After more than a century of growth and evolution, Boston College holds fast to the ideals that inspired its Jesuit founders. The University today remains focused on its mission of helping students to develop their minds and talents while providing them with the motivation and compassion to use those talents in the service of others.

62

BOSTON COLLEGE Today, the Boston College motto “ever to excel” also extends to a broad array of extracurricular activities and opportunities ranging from sports to the arts.

Athletics is integral to the University’s focus on the development of the whole person in body as well as in mind and spirit. BC offers 31 men’s and women’s varsity sports, all of which compete at the NCAA Division I level, and annually has one of the highest graduation rates in Division IA.

“Deeply rooted in its Catholic and Jesuit origins, Boston College offers an education that is distinctive in spirit and content, that is doubly rich with the best of human thought and with the profound insights of faith,” writes Reverend William P. Leahy, SJ, who assumed the presidency of Boston College in 1996. “We believe that Boston College provides a transforming experience for young men and women.”

A continued expression of this philosophy, based on the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the individual, is the faculty’s dedication to teaching. BC faculty members have been honored for their teaching by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education, while the University’s overall commitment to teaching has been ranked among the nation’s top 20, also by US News & World Report.

BC offers a wide variety of resources that enrich intellectual and cultural life beyond the campus gates. Among these are the Jesuit Institute; Center for Ignatian Spirituality; Center for Catholic Education; Church in the 21st Century Center; Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life; Center for Human Rights and International Justice; Center for Christian-Jewish Learning; Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics; Center on Wealth and Philanthropy; Center for Retirement Research; Sloan Center on Aging and Work; Center for the Study of Testing, Evaluation and Educational Policy; TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center; Center for International Higher Education; Burns Library of Rare Books and Special Collections; Robsham Theater Arts Center; McMullen Museum of Art; Center for Child, Family and Community Partnerships; Center for Corporate Citizenship; Center for Work and Family; Center for Irish Programs; Urban Ecology Institute and Weston Observatory.

BC

A Boston College education focuses not only on intellectual development, but also on personal, spiritual and physical development. Students are asked to use their abilities, education and acquired skills to help others in need, whether in Boston or Belize. Each year, more than 5,000 undergraduates give some 375,000 hours of community service in the Boston area, while more than 650 students trade vacation for service during Spring Break. Nearly 2,000 students take part in retreats and spiritual formation activities annually.

FACILITIES/LEARNING RESOURCES LEARNING RESOURCES Boston College recognizes the demands of academics and athletics, and acknowledges that students must be disciplined in their study habits to succeed in the classroom. The University’s Office of Learning Resources for Student-Athletes provides academic, personal, and social support services to all varsity student-athletes with the goal that each student-athlete will be provided a fair opportunity to achieve his or her potential of academic, social, spiritual and personal development.

In April 2005, Learning Resources moved into its new home in Yaw key Center. Dr. Ferna Phillips, director, leads a professional staff of six and a tutorial staff consisting of 35 graduate and undergraduate students.

BC

Learning Resources offers academic counseling, developmental and supplemental instruction as well as tutorial services to help its student-athletes reach their maximum potential in the classroom.

The academic Counselors and other support staff members provide much needed guidance and direction to student-athletes by monitoring their academic progress, supporting their academic success in the classroom by promoting self advocacy as well as articulating concerns to faculty, staff and administrators. The staff promotes, recognizes and rewards scholarship and maintains an interdisciplinary approach to providing services.

MURPHY FAMILY STUDY CENTER The study center offers an integrated learning environment for the student-athletes. They can elect to have a quiet space in which to work or join a study group as well as participate in “one to one” tutor relationships. Student-athletes can and do participate in structured study hour programs sponsored with the center. The Center offers both Mac and PC computers for use by the student-athletes as well as the opportunity to bring their own lap top to use in our completely wireless environment. The Center serves as the primary tutorial area for Learning Resources and offers student-athletes an easy, accessible area, close to the athletic facilities in which to study.

GENE DeFILIPPO

BC

Since Gene DeFilippo became Director of Athletics in September of 1997, he has led the BC athletics program to an unprecedented period of innovation, growth, fundraising, athletic and academic success.

DeFilippo has made a significant impact on the program internally, in the Boston community, and from a national standpoint while molding it into one of the nation’s elite both on and off the playing field.

He also led the program through one of the most significant periods in its history as it transitioned to full membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Anne and Gene DeFilippo cemented their commitment to Boston College by announcing their pledge of $100,000 to endow a scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded annually to a female student-athlete who demonstrates outstanding academic achievement and financial need.

DeFilippo was instrumental in raising money to build the privately funded $27 million, 72,000-square-foot Yawkey Athletics Center, which houses the football program, the Office of Learning Resources for Student-Athletes, and a large function area for general University use, freeing up critically needed space in Conte Forum for women’s athletics and other Olympic sports teams. After football moved into the Yawkey Center, BC undertook a multi-million dollar renovation Conte Forum to provide additional locker room and office space for many of BC’s 31 varsity sports.

In athletics competition, DeFilippo has overseen some of the most successful seasons in Boston College Athletics history. During the 2008-09 season, the football team appeared in a school-record 10th consecutive bowl game and made a second consecutive trip to the ACC Championship Game. In 2008, the men’s ice hockey team won its third national championship after advancing to the championship game for the third straight year and the Frozen Four for the eighth time in 11 seasons. The men’s soccer team captured both the ACC regular-season and tournament championships and entered the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament as the overall No. 1 seed.

DeFilippo renamed the Athletics Association’s fundraising arm (formerly Blue Chips) in honor of longtime Athletics Director Bill Flynn. Alumni, parents and friends of Boston College Athletics contributed $18 million in 2008-09, the third-highest total in BC Athletics history and 50 percent more than just four years ago. The 4,600 donors to the Flynn Fund prove that there is strength in numbers; nearly 700 alumni, parents and friends have given to BC Athletics for at least 10 consecutive years.

DeFilippo is extremely active on the national scene. He is the past president of NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics), the nation’s Division I-A Athletics Directors’ organization, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. He was also a representative to the NCAA Division I Management Council.

DeFilippo is credited with spearheading efforts to strengthen BC’s athletics program in a number of areas, including facilities, fundraising, staffing and academic support. Boston College student-athletes’ achievements in the classroom have become an immense source of pride for the University and its supporters. The Office of Learning Resources for Student-Athletes recently moved into a brand new home in the Yawkey Athletics Center. Under DeFilippo’s leadership, 363 BC student-athletes maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the 2008-09 academic year, earning the Athletic Director’s Award for Academic Excellence.

BC’s graduation rate for all student-athletes has consistently ranked in the nation’s top ten. Also under DeFilippo’s leadership, U.S. News and World Report honored Boston College as one of the top 20 athletics departments in the country.

DeFilippo has restructured the athletics program and hired top-notch administrators. He initiated an impressive overhaul of BC’s athletics facilities that includes new football practice facilities, a
