The Virginia Tech men’s soccer team will look quite different thisfall. Five starting seniors are gone from a team that made the BIGEAST tournament during its inaugural season in the league andfinished .500 in conference play (4-4-2). A new head coach will leadthe Hokies. Oliver Weiss replaced Jerry Cheynet on February 1,2002, to become only the third coach in Virginia Tech history.Coach Cheynet will remain with the program until his retirement atthe end of the 2003 season.

Wins over nationally-ranked Rutgers (3-2 in OT) and Syracuse(2-0), along with a tie against Final Four participant St. John’s, wereamong the highlights of last year’s 11-6-2 season. A 2-1 overtimeloss in the BIG EAST quarterfinals to defending national championand BIG EAST regular season champion, Connecticut, brought aterrific season to a close.

Weiss will have his work cut out for him, but the goals for 2002remain clear — to continue to improve upon Tech’s success in theBIG EAST while rebuilding the team with young and hungry players.Some of these players played significant roles during the 2001season; most of them will be tested for the first time.

Year Two in the BIG EAST and a New Coach“Anytime you lose a great core of experienced players, you will

have to mention the word ‘rebuilding’,” Weiss said. “However, agood spring season left us all hopeful that we can bridge the gapwith our strong group of seniors, underclassmen, and newlyrecruited blue chips. It will be a challenge to return to the elite inthe BIG EAST, but I am confident that we will get the most out ofour pool of talented players.”

Goalkeepers Who will replace the MVP from last year’s team, Colin Kibler?

That’s probably been the most frequently-asked question over thepast eight months. Kibler had a 0.90 goals-against average last falland was clearly one of the reasons Tech had a great campaign.The answer was simple once the Hokies completed their springgames. Junior Chris Davidovicz (Charlotte, N.C.) earned himselfthe spot with his shutout performances against Davidson, theRichmond Kickers, and Radford. He gave up one goal in a tie withNorth Carolina.

“If I had to pick our starting keeper after the spring, it would beChris for sure,” Weiss said. “He was solid all spring and kept us ina couple of close games. However, everybody on the team knowsthat positions are earned day-in and day-out. I am sure Chris willdefend his spot in the fall.”

The two other returning keepers are sophomores Evan Mahan(Bethesda, Md.) and Jeff Graham (Lusby, Md.). Both are youngand have been dedicated members of the team. Chase Harrison, afreshman from Huntington, W.Va., rounds out the goalie foursome.

Bobby O'Brien (left) is the Hokies’ top returning scorer in 2002. Harold Russell(above) will help anchor the Virginia Tech defense this season.

DefendersThe one area that seems to have been least affected by

graduation is the Tech defense. Garret Owens will be missed fromlast fall’s four-man back line. Senior Keith Benderoth (Woodbridge,Va.) may be the most experienced returnee. His tenacity andresilience will set the standard for excellence in keeping teams offthe board. Junior Harold Russell (Swarthmore, Pa.) should also bein top form after nursing an injury for most of the spring season. Hisdetermination and tackling ability should help the Hokie defense.Senior Greg Medsker (Fredericksburg, Va.) played well at centerback during spring training and will more than likely find a spot inthat capacity or as a sweeper. Another senior back, MichaelPiranian (Lexington, Va.), is expected to give the team muchneeded experience after redshirting in 2000 and playing in 13games last fall.

“It’s very comforting to walk into a team with this muchexperience in the backfield,” Weiss said about his defenders. Onenewcomer should also bring a wealth of experience to the Hokiesthis fall, but by virtue of age. Lasse Mertins (Rotenburg, Germany)can play any defensive position or defensive midfield. The 24-year-old Mertins will join the men’s soccer program for two years whileworking on a masters’ degree. He played the last two years in theGerman 4th division with Rotenburger SV.

MidfieldThe departure of Tech’s career assist leader, Fred Silva, along

with Ty Enmark and Jeremy Parsels, leaves a big hole in themidfield. Senior Captain Rob Smith (Greenville, S.C.) will help directteammates in the center of the field with his leadership andexperience. Park Ridge, N.J., native Eric Prigot, also a senior, mustaid Smith in organizing the team from his central position. Prigotfound the back of the net several times in the spring and isexpected to continue the scoring trend in the fall. John Havas(Mechanicsburg, Pa.) will see time on the right outside position. Hisspeed should cause problems for other teams. Sophomores KennyJonmaire (East Aurora, N.Y.) and Justin Bogner (Omaha, Neb.) willplay dual roles as midfielders and forwards. Both are versatileenough to make an impact in both positions. Senior Karl Schlegel

(Indianapolis, Ind.) returns after Marine boot camp at Quantico thissummer to the outside midfield spot for the Hokies. Two morefreshmen complete the list of midfielders. Peer Rogge (Schleswig,Germany) played attacking midfield for his 5th division club, TSBFlensburg, last year. He should find his role to be similar with theHokies. Freshman Charlie Howe (Mechanicsville, Va.) was an all-state selection in high school and can present problems foropponents with his feistiness and ball-winning qualities.

ForwardsJunior Bobby O’Brien (Williamsburg, Va.) returns as the team’s

second-leading scorer with seven goals and four assists last year.During the spring, O’Brien grew with every training session into hisrole as the program’s target man on the field. His lethal head ballsand unconventional scoring methods make him unpredictable.Senior Drew Myers (High Point, N.C.) returns as the team’s third-most potent point-getter. His five goals and two assists shoulddouble this year if he can stay healthy. Myers was sidelined with ashoulder injury all spring, but has fully recovered and is poised toleave his mark on the field come August. Another threat in theattack will come from Virginia Beach sophomore Bailey Allman.Allman’s cunning passing skills and nose for the goal should makeit difficult for opposing defenders to keep him from scoring.Blacksburg’s own Dustin Bond is the program’s fourth forward.Bond, a senior, has a terrific work rate and should get opportunitiesto strike at goal with his powerful shot.

The Hokies will embark on their second BIG EAST season full ofhope and excitement. They hope to improve upon last year’ssuccess and to be in position to receive an NCAA Tournament bid.

Keith Benderoth started all 19 games for the Hokies last season.

Senior co-captain Greg Medsker returns on defense for the Hokies.

Cheynet led a group ofseasoned verterans into the BIG EAST Conference and emergedwith an 11-6-2 overall record and a 4-4-2 record against conferenceopponnets. That record earned the team a berth in the BIG EASTtournament.

In 2000, Cheynet helped his team pull out of a dismal 1-7-2 startand to a final record of 8-9-2, in which Tech won seven out of its lastnine games. In 1999, Cheynet commanded the Tech squad to animpressive 11-8 record that marked the fourth season in a row thatthe Hokies had a winning season.

The previous year, 1998, also brought great success to men’ssoccer at Virginia Tech. Cheynet led his team to the final round of theBell Atlantic/Atlantic 10 Championship before falling to Dayton, 1-0.The Hokies ended the season 11-9-1.

Virginia Tech, with Cheynet at the helm, was the only school towin the Metro Conference Tournament title four times. The Hokiescaptured the championship in 1984, 1985, 1989 and 1990, beatingCincinnati in three of the four title games.

In a state with several powerhouse soccer programs, Cheynethas kept the Tech program successful through consistent coachingand strong recruiting efforts.

What Is a Hokie?That’s the most often-asked question in Virginia Tech

athletics. The answer leads all the way back to 1896 whenVirginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its nameto Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came thenecessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such apurpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull wonfirst prize for his “Hokie” yell which still is used today. Later,when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explainedthe word was solely the product of his imagination and wasused only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became anickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Techathletics. The official school colors — Chicago maroon andburnt orange — also were introduced in 1896. They werechosen because they made a “unique combination” not wornelsewhere at the time.

Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg gained national andinternational attention by creating the world’s first “electronic village.”Businesses and industries have been drawn by the potential of thequaint town.

Established in 1798 by John and William Black, the town issurrounded by scenic mountain views that accentuate the area. The

nearly 40,000 residents (including students) enjoy a close proximityto a variety of recreation areas such as the Blue Ridge Parkway,Appalachian Trail, Claytor Lake and the New River. The regionfeatures a moderate climate and four distinct seasons.

Blacksburg’s location (adjacent to major interstate highways)provides convenient access to most points in the southern andeastern parts of the country.

More information on Blacksburg can be found on the Web site ofthe Blacksburg Electronic Village, www.bev.net, or the town’s Website, www.blacksburg.va.us.

Whether it is downtown Blacksburg or the nearby Cascades, thearea around Virginia Tech is charming and pleasant.

Since its founding in 1872, Virginia Polytechnic Institute andState University, popularly known as Virginia Tech, has grown froma small college of 132 students into Virginia’s largest university andits top research institution. During its 130 years of existence,Virginia’s premiere land-grant institution has evolved into acomprehensive university of national and international prominence.

Recognizing that higher education is a key force behind thequality of American life, our economic competitiveness, and ourdemocratic form of government, President Charles W. Steger haschallenged the university to become one of the country’s top 30research institutions by the end of the decade.

Although Virginia Tech is currently organized into eight colleges— Agriculture and Life Sciences, Architecture and Urban Studies,Arts and Sciences, Pamplin College of Business, Engineering,Human Resources and Education, Natural Resources, and Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine —plans have

been approved to restructure the university, which will result in thecreation of a College of Biological, Mathematical, and PhysicalSciences next year. Together, the colleges offer about 175bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs to approximately26,000 undergraduate and graduate students who hail from 48states, the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and 118other countries.

Many of Virginia Tech’s traditions and strengths are rooted in theuniversity’s motto, Ut Prosim (“That I May Serve”) and its land-grantmissions of instruction, research, and solving the problems of societythrough outreach and extension activities. By generating newknowledge through research and through its outreach mandate,Virginia Tech disseminates practical knowledge both in and out ofthe classroom, reaching beyond its student body to affect society asa whole. Virginia Tech: a university that puts knowledge to work.

Weaver, 57, was appointed on Septem-ber 24, 1997 and has been a tireless leader

on behalf of Tech athletics. In his five years on the job at Tech,Weaver has taken steps to place increased emphasis on projectsbenefiting student-athletes. He created a comprehensive awardsprogram for letterwinners and has initiated and funded an annualawards banquet.

When Charles W. Steger became VirginiaTech’s 15th president in January 2000, it didnot take long for this three-time Hokie alum toturn it up a notch. Setting his sights on joiningthe nation’s truly elite universities, PresidentSteger has challenged the universitycommunity to become ranked among the top

30 research universities.“If you’re not moving quickly forward, you might as well be

standing still,” he said upon his installation more than two yearsago.

The signature initiative of his administration likely will be theVirginia Bioinformatics Institute, a new interdisciplinary researchcenter formed by the convergence of computer science andbiological research. Populated by world class researchers, the VBIalready has built a contract base of more than $20 million.

Saying that future growth will come only through strategicpartnerships, Steger led the formation of the World Institute forDisaster Risk Management (DRM). DRM is a partnership with the

Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH) and Virginia Tech, inconjunction with the World Bank Disaster Management Facility.

Within the past year the university has joined hands to form theVirginia Tech Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering. Risingout of the ground now at the Virginia Tech Corporate ResearchCenter is the Via College of Osteopathic Medicine.

A registered architect and former dean of Tech’s college ofarchitecture and urban studies, Steger was the architect of adifferent sort as the leader of the university’s successful fund raisingcampaign. Under his leadership as vice president for developmentand university relations, the Campaign for Virginia Tech raised $337million.

Steger’s ties to Virginia Tech span four decades as a student,professor, dean, vice president, and now president. While on thefaculty, he twice won teaching excellence awards. When he becamedean of the college in 1981, he was the youngest architecture deanin the nation at 33 years of age.

Steger received his Bachelor and Master of Architecture and aPh.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from Virginia Tech.

The success of Virginia Tech’s athletic program rests largely on theacademic progress of each student-athlete. The academicperformance of Tech student-athletes has improved each year due inpart to the Student Athlete Academic Support Services (SAASS).

SAASS provides programming for student-athletes from theirfreshman year through graduation. This includes a comprehensiveorientation to Tech, study hall, mentoring, tutoring, academicmonitoring, academic recognition, and eligibility education.

Academic facilities for student-athletes include the MonogramRoom, a large room used as a study hall area adjacent to the SAASSoffice in Cassell Coliseum. The HEAT (Hokies Engaging in AdvancedTechnology) Lab and its satellite sites house over 40 computers on thesecond floor and third floors of Cassell Coliseum. Laptop computersare also available for Tech athletes to use when travelling to awaycontests.

With the help of theseresources, the VirginiaTech graduation rate forstudent-athletes has risensignificantly in recentyears and reached 71percent in 2002 ascompared to the nationalaverage of 58 percent.

The soccer team trains mainly in the Jim “Bulldog” Haren WeightRoom. Located in Jamerson Athletic Center, the Haren Weight Roomis a 5,000-square foot weight room officially dedcated in September1985. Coupled with the Merryman Centerfacilities, the Hokies have over 22,000-squarefeet of strength and conditioning training space.

Terry Mitchell, strength and conditioningcoordinator of men’s Olympic sports works withthe soccer team.

There’s much more to athletic performancethan weight training. Always striving to stay onthe cutting edge, Virginia Tech has added twomore services in the past couple of years. AtTech, nutrition and sports psychology are also apart of the student-athlete’s preparation – not justfor sports, but also for life after college.

The Virginia Tech men’s soccer teamburst onto the BIG EAST soccer scene in2001 and met the opposition head on. Techclosed the season with an 11-6-2 overallmark and a 4-4-2 record against conferenceopponents and qualified for the BIG EASTtournament. Although they would eventuallyfall in double-overtime to the defendingNCAA champion Connecticut, the Hokiesput the BIG EAST on notice that 2001 wasjust a taste of the success that the programhopes to accomplish.

The Hokies opened the season indramatic fashion on Aug. 31 on the roadagainst Dayton. Tech battled the Flyersthroughout and grabbed its first victory witha goal in the closing minute from the foot ofFred Silva. That began a four-game winningstreak that set the foundation for one of themen’s soccer program’s most successfulseasons in its 29 year history.

Tech took advantage of late-gameheroics by Silva again in the win againstXavier. Silva broke a scoreless tie midwaythrough the second half when he took athrow-in and slotted it past the Musketeerkeeper.

The Hokies increased their shutoutstreak to three games with their 8-0 winover Elon College. Unlike the first twomatches, the Hokies struck early and often against the Phoenix. Techjumped out to an early 1-0 advantage when Garrett Owens blasted aSilva pass by the Elon keeper for the first of many goals.

Silva would go on to chart atotal of five assists in thecontest, shattering the oldschool mark of three held byBobby Warnick. Overall, Silvaamassed nine points, giving himanother school record for mostpoints in a single match. Thisfeat won Silva BIG EASTOffensive Player of the Weekhonors.

Tech, as a team, producedanother school record with its3-0 shutout of intrastate rivalVMI. The shutout gave theHokies their fourth in a row,eclipsing the old school mark ofthree. Goalie Colin Kiblerfinished the contest with ninesaves and his fourth shutout inas many games.

Game number five versusJames Madison gave the Hokiestheir first loss of the season. Theone bright spot came in the formof yet another broken record.Starting with the 1-0 shutoutvictory over East Carolina in2000, Tech had held itsopponents scoreless for over

448 consecutive minutes — a new school record.The Hokies got their first taste of BIG EAST soccer when Boston

College came to town. Tech fell to the Eagles 2-1 after battling backfrom an early one-goal deficit. The Hokies showed grit anddetermination by coming back to tie the game after an early Eaglegoal. A late goal by BC dropped Tech to 4-2.

The team packed its bags and headed south to Statesboro, Ga.,with hopes of breaking out of their two-game losing skid againstGeorgia Southern. True to early season form, the Hokies fought to a2-1 victory after trailing early in the match. Tech wasted no timeresponding to the goal scored by the Eagles at the eight-minutemark. Just six minutes later, the game was deadlocked thanks toKen Jonmaire’s first career goal. Just before the halftime buzzer,Jeremy Parsels scored the go-ahead goal.

After experiencing success in the south, Tech traveled north toSyracuse, N.Y., and gained the program’s first BIG EASTConference win. The Hokies jumped on the Orangemen early whenJonmaire scored off a feed from Bobby O’Brien. Ty Enmark sealedthe deal with a goal in the 75th minute and Kibler once againfrustrated the opposition with his strong keeping. The win improvedthe team’s record to 6-2 overall, but more importantly brought backthe swagger of success.

The successful run continued into the next game when Techhosted Radford. Each year the Hokies and Highlanders do battle forthe “New River Rock” which had evaded Tech since 1996. A 4-0victory over the Highlanders brought a close to the five-yeardrought. Jonmaire continued his torrid play by scoring in his thirdstraight game and Silva knocked in his sixth goal of the season tolead the team to victory.

Up next for the Hokies was unquestionably the hardest stretchof their schedule. Over the next four games, Tech played Seton Halland St. John’s, both nationally ranked, in addition to Georgetown onthe road and Notre Dame in Blacksburg.

Tech got off to a rocky start with a 2-0 loss to the 18th-rankedSeton Hall Pirates at home and a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime losson the road to the Hoyas. The losing streak ballooned to threegames after the squad dropped a 2-0 rain-soaked match to thevisiting Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

The Hokies now found themselves with a 7-5 overall record anda dreary 1-4 conference mark. On top of the losing streak, Tech nexthad to deal with St. John’s, who came into Blacksburg ranked asthe No. 4 team in the nation.

Tech stepped up to the challenge and scored a well-earned 1-1tie against the Red Storm. The contest between the two BIG EASTsquads was extremely physical at times, with the two teamscombining for 48 fouls. The defensive battle turned positive for theHokies when Enmark collected a loose ball in the box and blasted itpast the St. John’s keeper to give Tech a one-goal advantage justbefore halftime. The Red Storm would tie the match in the 69thminute, but that would be the only score Tech’s defense wouldallow. Kibler’s 16 saves was an NCAA individual game high for the2001 season and helped earn him BIG EAST Goalkeeper of theWeek honors.

The tie with St. John’s spurred a six-game unbeaten streak asthe Hokies began to make their move into position to make the BIGEAST tournament. Their 1-0 shutout win on the road against WestVirginia gave them their second conference victory and Enmark’stwo goal performance versus Pittsburgh earned a much needed tieas the season began to wind down.

Kibler produced a school-record seventh shutout againstGardner-Webb with Tech’s 5-0 win over the Bulldogs, but theHokies found themselves on the outside looking in at a conferencetournament bid with just two games remaining against BIG EASTopponents. With road games left against Villanova and nationallyranked Rutgers, the journey to the tournament would be an arduousroad to travel, but the Hokies’ determination remained high.

Tech completed the first leg of its quest with a 2-1 overtimevictory over the Wildcats. O’Brien put the Hokies on the board latein the second half with his goal off of a Rob Smith pass, but the one-goal advantage soon evaporated into a 1-1 deadlock as timeexpired. The Hokies wasted no time in overtime, scoring just 1:31minutes in.

Now the stage was set for a showdown between Tech and No.14 Rutgers. A win and the Hokies qualified for the tournament — aloss and the last spot went to the Syracuse Orangemen.

Tech was up to the challenge and prevailed with a 3-2 overtimevictory. In true Hokie fashion, the team battled back from a two-goaldeficit thanks to a Silva goal and some last-second heroics from anunlikely source. With just 40 seconds remaining in the match, therewas a scramble in front of the Rutgers net during which Tech’sBailey Allman snuck in, collected the loose ball, and chipped it intothe goal to force overtime. The goal was Allman’s first as a Hokie. Inovertime, the combination of Silva and Enmark lifted the Hokies tothe win. With just more than two-minutes remaining in overtime,Silva crossed the ball into a cutting Enmark who headed it past theScarlet Knights goalkeeper, giving the Hokies the win.

The win secured a spot as the eighth seed for the Hokies in theBIG EAST tournament where they werematched against the defending nationalchampion Connecticut Huskies. Tech camevery close to knocking off the defendingchamps, but eventually fell in double-overtime, 2-1.

Despite the early exit from thetournament, the men’s soccer program atVirginia Tech had one of its most successfulyears both as a team and at an individuallevel. Silva was named to the All-BIG EAST

Second Team and theAll-South AtlanticRegional Team.Enmark, along withSilva, was named tothe All-VirginiaDivision I SoccerTeam and Myers wasnamed a VerizonAcademic All-American for hissuccess in theclassroom and on thepitch.

Silva finished thirdin the nation with a0.71 assist-per-gameaverage. The Hokies’defensive play, pairedwith Kibler’s toughgoal-keeping, helpedhim to the 28th spot ingoals-againstaverage (0.90).

Fred Silva led the Hokies in goals (9) andassists (12) last season.
