The player lounge features abundant study space along with a flat-screen television and a projection screen.

Alumni Stadium played host to its first regular-season match on September 1, 2009. The Fighting Irish men’s squad topped Michigan 5-0 in the opener. The official stadium dedication took place on April 24, 2010, during the annual soccer alumni weekend.

The interior of the stadium pays homage to the history of Fighting Irish soccer and the many

accomplishments throughout the years.

Alumni StadiumAlumni Stadium, the home to the Notre Dame men’s and women’s soccer pro-grams, opened in 2009 to rave reviews. The $5.7 million state-of-the-art facility resides just east of the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus and features a natural grass field, lights, locker rooms, team lounges, restrooms and concession areas. The lead benefactors for the facil-ity are former Irish soccer players Tom Crotty and Rob Snyder.

Alumni Stadium is part of the athletics quadrangle on the east side of the Notre Dame campus.

A boot rack allows the players to hang their cleats to dry and air out after practice and

matches.

The Alumni Stadium locker room provides the student-athletes with an enormous amount of space to prepare for both practice and matches. The team also is able to watch film on a drop-down projection screen.

The Alumni Stadium press box has over 20 seats for media and support staff along with three broadcast booths.

JUNIORS

FRESHMEN

Senior captain Aaron Maund will help anchor the Notre Dame backline in 2011. The central defender has started all 59 matches in which he has played during his Fighting Irish career.


2011 Season Outlook

or one high forward, I feel we have that option because we have four players that can play there so that gives us the option,” comments Clark. “Last year we played with one high forward and one underneath.”

Sophomore Harrison Shipp figures to occupy the starting role at the underneath forward position. Shipp had a solid freshman campaign as he tied for the team lead in assists with six en route to being named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. His classmate Leon Brown, who did not see game action as a freshman, also will compete for major minutes.

“Harry Shipp did fantastic as a freshman last year,” says Clark. “There’s no question that he can build on that. Another guy who can also do that is Leon Brown. Leon had a fantastic spring and we are very excited about him. Leon can give us minutes in the wide area and minutes up high. The way Leon played in the spring, it’s going to be tough to keep him off the field. He has a lot of potential.”

MIDFIELDThe Fighting Irish return four starters in the

midfield. Powers and senior Chris Sutton are the projected duo in the central midfield. Sutton started 17 of the 19 games he played in last season, while Powers was a starter in all 20 matches. Senior Adam Mena and junior Bob Novak are two more options in the central midfield. Mena played in every game last season and scored two goals.

“Both Dillon (Powers) and Chris (Sutton) are experienced and capable players,” adds Clark. “Adam Mena is a very well-rounded player. He can play as a wide midfielder, as a central attacking midfielder and as a forward. Adam gives us tremendous athleticism. We’re looking for big things from him this season. Bob Novak gives us extra coverage in the mid-areas as well.”

Mena was named to the Premier Developmental League (PDL) All-Central Conference Team this past summer after he netted 14 goals while playing for the Indiana Invaders.

Sophomore Kyle Craft and freshman Brendan Lesch also will bolster the central midfield unit. Craft did not play in a game as a freshman, but Clark likes how he has improved since his rookie season. Clark also is impressed with the strength that Lesch brings to the squad.

Seniors Brendan King and Michael Rose

Making the NCAA Tournament is the annual goal for the Notre Dame men’s soccer team according to head coach Bobby Clark, who is entering his 11th season on the Irish sidelines and is two victories shy of becoming the all-time wins leader in program history. The Fighting Irish have done quite well in reaching that target as they have qualified for the NCAAs in all 10 seasons of the Clark era, a streak that currently ranks fifth nationally. However, the Irish have not advanced past the second round of the postseason since 2007 and Clark feels the 2011 version of his squad is ready to take the next step.

“This is a hungry team,” says Clark, who boasts a 127-59-30 record with the Fighting Irish. “We would like to advance a little further (in the NCAA Tournament) than we’ve done in the past. We have been disappointed in the last three years since we’ve bowed out of the tournament long before where our expectations have led us to believe where we might go. I think this is going to be a very, very hungry team.”

While the ultimate goal is reaching and then advancing in the NCAA Tournament, success in the regular season is what opens the door to the postseason. The Fighting Irish have compiled impressive marks in the regular season ever since Clark took the reins of the program. Notre Dame has won at least 10 games in each of the past 10 seasons and the Fighting Irish are the only team in the BIG EAST to finish in the top two of either division standings in each of the past four seasons. Notre Dame also is the only BIG EAST squad to qualify for the semifinals in each of the past four league tournaments.

“The regular season is your bread and butter,” states Clark. “You have to do well there. We were runner-up in the league last year (during the regular season) and that was a bit of a disappointment because you obviously want to win the league. The next thing is the conference tournament. We’ve made the final four quite a few times in a row but now we’d like to win it.”

Clark feels this year’s team will have success based on its depth and veteran leadership. Notre Dame welcomes back seven starters and 12 letterwinners from last season’s squad that posted a 10-6-4 record, including a 6-2-1 BIG EAST mark.

Captaining the Fighting Irish in 2011 will be Greg Klazura, Aaron Maund and Dillon Powers. Klazura, who will be starting at left back for the second straight campaign, is

returning to the Irish for a fifth season after turning down an offer to the 2011 Major League Soccer (MLS) Combine. Maund, a starter in all 59 games he has played in during his first three seasons at Notre Dame, will once again be counted on to anchor the center of the Irish defense. Powers, a junior midfielder, has been a force for the Irish in his first two campaigns. He also brings a wealth of experience from playing with the United States Under-20 National Team.

Maund and Powers both earned second-team all-BIG EAST honors in 2010. Powers is Notre Dame’s leading returning goal scorer as he deposited four goals to go along with four assists one season ago. His point, goal and assist totals all ranked second among Notre Dame players last season.

Along with welcoming a talented five-man freshman class that features four high school All-Americans, the Irish bring Duke transfer Ryan Finley on board. Finley, a junior forward, was named the 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Offensive Player of the Year. He totaled 64 points on 28 goals and eight assists during his two seasons with the Blue Devils.

The mix of experienced veterans and talented newcomers should have the Fighting Irish in position to not only get back to the NCAA Tournament, but to make some noise once they are there.

“If you make the NCAA Tournament, you want to win it,” says Clark. “I think these are all realistic goals for this team, but they are realistic goals for quite a lot of teams in men’s soccer. The thing we have going for us is a very hungry team. We have to be hungry and we have to deliver and we are very aware of that this year.”

ATTACKThe Fighting Irish will have to replace

graduated forward Steven Perry, who led all BIG EAST players in goals (12) and points (28), last season. The Irish also will need to fill the void of Jeb Brovsky, a three-year starter in both the midfield and attack. Clark says that Finley and fellow junior Danny O’Leary, who played in 12 matches last season, will contend for the starting high forward spot. Sophomore Alex Priede and freshman Vince Cicciarelli give the Irish two more valuable weapons at the high forward position. Priede did not play in a game last season, but figures to give the Irish big minutes this year.

“Whether we play with two high forwards

Following the conference tournament, the Fighting Irish will hope to see their name among the 48-team NCAA Championship field for the 11th straight season. Tournament play begins Thursday, Nov. 17 and College Cup Weekend will be held Dec. 9 and 11 at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala.

“It’s a great schedule,” states Clark. “We have the 17 games, along with three scrimmages, and we want to make them all good tests. You always want to test the players and you want to find out where they are. Playing big games gets them excited and that’s part of playing this game, to get the players and fans excited. We always look to play the best teams that we can possibly play. It tests us and hopefully prepares us for the postseason.”

return as starters in the wide areas of the midfield. Unfortunately, Rose will miss the early portion of the season after suffering a knee injury during the spring campaign. He started 19 matches last season and tallied one goal and four assists from the right side of the midfield.

King started all 20 games in 2010 and registered three goals and six assists, which tied for the team lead in that category. The left-sided midfielder has only missed one match during his Notre Dame career and he has compiled 22 points on five goals and 12 assists in those 63 games played.

“Michael (Rose) has rehabilitated well and we’re hoping he gets back fairly early into the season. He has worked hard doing his rehab,” says Clark. “Brendan King is certainly someone we’re looking for a lot of numbers from this year. He’s a fantastically skilled player and he was just starting to heat up as a junior and we are looking for big things from him as a senior.”

Junior Kyle Richard gives the Irish depth and experience as a wide midfielder and he can also play in the attack. Richard saw time in 15 matches as a sophomore and he notched one assist. Fellow junior Eric Tilley has yet to see time on the field for the Irish, but Clark likes his versatility along the midfield line and the fact he is a sound technical player.

Freshmen Max Lachowecki and Robby Gallegos give the Fighting Irish additional options in the midfield. Lachowecki is versatile and can play in the middle, out wide or even as a left-sided defender. Clark likes Gallegos’ ability to connect passes and his potential with the Irish.

DEFENSENotre Dame returns three of its four starters

from last season’s backline. Gone is right back Bilal Duckett, yet Maund and junior Grant Van De Casteele are back in the central defense and Klazura will occupy the left back slot. Not only did that returning trio help solidify the Irish defense one season ago, they also combined for 11 points on four goals and three assists.

“We are well balanced in the defense,” says Clark. “We lost one of our starting back four, but we have Aaron Maund, Grant Van De Casteele and Greg Klazura returning. Grant missed a lot of the spring because he had to get surgery on his knee so he’ll come back and be pain free this year. He played through a lot of pain last year.”

Clark says senior Michael Knapp will likely fill the role at right back. Knapp, one of the top students on the Irish team, has only played in two career matches, but is coming

off a solid spring campaign. He also brings a great amount of versatility to the defense since he can play anywhere on the backline.

Sophomore Andrew O’Malley is next in line in the central defense. O’Malley did not see game action during his freshman season, but Clark liked how he played in the spring and has full confidence in his abilities if they are needed to replace either Maund or Van De Casteele.

Freshman Nick Besler also gives depth at central defense and in the central midfield. Besler is the younger brother of former Notre Dame All-American and Academic All-American Matt Besler, who played for the Irish from 2005-08. The elder Besler now plays for Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer (MLS) and was voted an MLS All-Star in 2011.

Senior Sean McGrath brings experience to the left back position. McGrath started six games during his sophomore season. He also is an option as a wide midfielder.

Sophomore Luke Mishu did not see game action last season, but he is a strong and powerful player and Clark likes what he accomplished in the spring. Fellow sophomore Connor Miller also impressed the coaches during the spring when he joined the team as a walk-on.

GOALIESenior Will Walsh figures to be the leading

candidate to start in goal. He started the first seven matches of the 2010 season before Philip Tuttle, a fifth-year senior at the time, returned from injury. Walsh produced a 3-2-2 record with four shutouts during his time as a starter last season. He also produced a 0.54 goals-against average with a .875 save percentage.

Sophomores Adam LaPlaca and Patrick Wall give solid depth to the position. Neither LaPlaca nor Wall saw game action during their freshman campaigns, but they figure to be in the mix this season.

“We have three good goalkeepers,” offers Clark. “Will Walsh will obviously be the favorite to start. Both Pat Wall and Adam LaPlaca played very well in the spring. I would expect both to push Will. Will got a lot of time last year because of an injury to Phil Tuttle and he did very well. We’re hoping that Will can build on that and, being a senior, it would be a very nice reward for him. It’ll be a good battle.”

SCHEDULEThe Fighting Irish have 10 teams on their

2011 regular-season slate that qualified for last season’s NCAA Tournament. Included in those squads are runner-up Louisville and semifinalist Michigan.

Head Coach

Bobby Clark’s formula for success and his reputa-tion for assembling winning teams are evident after 10 seasons at Notre Dame. The charismatic and affable Irish leader has guided his teams to 10 consecutive NCAA Championship appearances (a program first), a BIG EAST tournament title in 2003 and three BIG EAST regular-season crowns (2004, 2007 & 2008). Notre Dame reached new heights within the program by advancing to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals for the first time ever in 2006 and made a repeat appear-ance in 2007.

Since coming to Notre Dame in January of 2001, Clark, a native of Scotland, has engineered a great turnaround. In the two seasons prior to his arrival, the Irish suffered back-to-back losing seasons in 1999 and 2000 with a combined 15-17-5 record. Under Clark, Notre Dame is an impressive 127-59-30 (.657). The Fighting Irish have won at least 10 matches in every season of the Clark era. Clark, a two-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year honoree, ranks second on Notre Dame’s all-time victory list, just one win behind Rich Hunter entering the 2011 campaign.

For his dedication and commitment to the Fighting Irish men’s soccer program, the Notre Dame Monogram Club awarded Clark with an honorary monogram in June of 2011.

Winning has been synonymous with Clark wher-ever he has been. His 24-year resume has produced a glossy .673 winning percentage. Clark’s teams have posted a 280-122-55 mark during his collegiate coach-ing tenure. Prior to becoming Notre Dame’s fifth head coach, he had successful coaching stints at Dartmouth and Stanford.

Clark’s penchant for developing talent is evident in the fact that Notre Dame has produced 57 all-BIG EAST selections from 32 different players. In addition, he has mentored six All-Americans with the Irish, including 2006 M.A.C. Hermann Trophy winner Joseph Lapira.

Lapira, a two-time All-America honoree, was the 2006 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year. Bright Dike joined Lapira with that honor as he was named the league’s offensive player of the year in 2009 under Clark’s guidance.

The Fighting Irish have had 18 Major League Soccer (MLS) draft picks during Clark’s 10 seasons at Notre Dame. In 2009, Matt Besler became the highest MLS draft pick in Notre Dame history as he was selected eighth overall by the Kansas City Wizards. Besler also

was named the 2008-09 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Scholar-Athlete of the Year. That marked the first time an Irish player ever received that distinguished honor. Besler is one of four Fighting Irish players to have garnered Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) under the tutelage of Clark.

Another Academic All-American was 2007 gradu-ate Ryan Miller, who also became the first current or former Notre Dame player to earn a spot on a United States Men’s Senior National Team roster. Miller was one of 24 players on the U.S. squad that faced Chile in an international friendly in January of 2011. Miller currently plays professionally for Halmstads BK in the Swedish first division.

As of June 2011, 15 former Irish men’s soccer play-ers were competing professionally around the world. Ten are playing in the United States, while five are overseas. All 15 played for Clark at Notre Dame. Six former Fighting Irish student-athletes are part of Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, while four are in the United Soccer League (USL)/North American Soccer League (NASL). The foreign countries represented are England, Finland, India and Sweden.

Ryan Nelsen, who played for Clark at Stanford and captained New Zealand during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, plays for the Blackburn Rovers of the English Premier League. Another one of Clark’s former Stanford players, Simon Elliott, joined Nelsen on the New Zealand World Cup squad and currently plays with Chivas USA in the MLS.

Nelsen and Elliott are just two of Clark’s pupils that have competed in marquee international events. Current Notre Dame players Dillon Powers and Aaron Maund both were members of the United States Under-20 National Team that competed at the 2009 U-20 World Cup in Egypt. In August of 2010, Powers was named the MVP of the Milk Cup Tournament as he helped lead the U.S. Under-20 National Team to the title with a 3-0 record. Greg Dalby, a 2007 graduate, captained the U.S. squad as they won Group D during the 2005 U-20 World Cup. In May 2007, Lapira earned a cap with the Ireland Senior National Team during a friendly against Ecuador.

Regarded as one of the premier tacticians of the game, Clark has built a reputation of being a true play-ers’ coach; he’s an individual who relates easily to the needs of his players both on and off the field. Clark also has shown that he is very capable of reloading talent without having his team miss a beat on the field. Clark and his staff have consistently brought in nationally-ranked recruiting classes that keeps the Fighting Irish in contention for league and national success year in and year out.

In 2010, Clark guided the Irish to their 10th straight NCAA Championship appearance. Notre Dame gar-nered the tournament’s No. 9 seed, which marked the sixth time under Clark that the Fighting Irish have claimed one of the 16 national seeds and a first-round bye. Notre Dame fell to Dartmouth, 2-1 in overtime, during the second round to finish the season with a 10-6-4 record and a No. 21 national ranking in the final NSCAA poll. The Fighting Irish have been ranked in the final NSCAA top-25 rankings during nine of Clark’s 10 seasons at Notre Dame.

The Irish went 6-2-1 in BIG EAST play in 2010 and advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament for the fourth straight season and for the sixth time under Clark.

Five Notre Dame student-athletes received all-BIG EAST accolades for the 2010 season. Headlining the Fighting Irish honorees were first-team selections Jeb Brovsky and Steven Perry. Perry led all BIG EAST players in goals with 12 and was tied for the points lead with 28. Maund and Powers were named to the all-BIG EAST second team, while Harrison Shipp was selected to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

Brovsky and Perry continued to illustrate Notre Dame’s success both on the pitch and in the classroom as they were named NSCAA Scholar All-Americans.

The 2009 season saw Clark notch his ninth NCAA Championship victory during his Notre Dame tenure with a 2-1 first-round win over Green Bay. The Irish suffered a 3-1 setback at Northwestern in the second round to conclude the campaign with an 11-8-4 mark.

The Irish finished in second place in the BIG EAST Blue Division with an 8-3-0 record. Notre Dame missed out on winning its second BIG EAST Championship title under Clark as the Irish were taken down in penalty kicks by St. John’s, 5-3, following a scoreless draw in the final.

Six Notre Dame players garnered all-BIG EAST honors in 2009. Michael Thomas joined Dike, who led the league in points (26) and goals (11) en route to earning the league’s offensive player of the year award, on the all-BIG EAST first team, while Justin Morrow was a second-team pick. Brovsky and Maund were selected to the third team and Powers was named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

In 2008, Notre Dame notched a 12-7-2 record, including a 7-2-2 mark in the BIG EAST to win the con-ference’s Blue Division. That signified the first time in program history that the Irish had ever won back-to-back BIG EAST regular-season titles. A 3-0 victory at Cincinnati on Sept. 26, 2008, was Clark’s 100th win during his Notre Dame tenure.

The Fighting Irish were seeded 12th for the 2008 NCAA Championship and fell to Northwestern, 2-1, in the second round. Notre Dame concluded the season ranked 16th in the NSCAA poll. It marked the eighth straight season, all under Clark, in which the Fighting Irish fin-ished their season ranked in the top 20 nationally.

Accolades were in abundance for Notre Dame dur-ing the 2008 season. Besler earned the distinction of becoming the first player in program history to be named both a first-team All-American and first-team Academic All-American. Besler and Dike both were first-team all-BIG EAST selections and headlined a group of five Notre Dame players that copped all-league honors.

The 2007 campaign was arguably the greatest season in Notre Dame history. The Irish captured a share of the regular-season BIG EAST title as they tied for the Blue Division championship with Connecticut. The Irish went 7-0-4 in league play and were the only BIG EAST squad to go undefeated within the conference. Notre Dame advanced to the finals of the BIG EAST Championship before falling to Connecticut, 2-0. During the season, the Irish peaked at a program-best

No. 2 in the national rankings. Notre Dame opened the ’07 season with a 2-1

overtime win against top-ranked UCLA at the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic in Bloomington, Ind. That would be the first of five triumphs over ranked foes for the Irish on the year. Notre Dame garnered the 10th seed in the 2007 NCAA Championship and following a first-round bye, the Irish topped Oakland University 2-1. A 2-0 upset victory at No. 7 Santa Clara propelled Notre Dame into the ‘Elite Eight’. The season would come to an end as the Irish suffered a 1-0 overtime loss at eventual national champion Wake Forest in the NCAA quarterfi-nals to finish with a 14-5-5 record and a No. 6 ranking in the final NSCAA poll.

In what has become a common theme in the Clark era at Notre Dame, the Irish boasted two All-America honorees in 2007. Lapira earned first-team All-America

accolades for the second straight season, while Miller was a second-team pick. Miller also earned Academic All-America honors. Lapira and Miller were unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST selections. The duo spear-headed a group of seven Fighting Irish players that copped all-conference accolades.

The Irish ended the ’06 campaign ranked sixth nationally after compiling a 15-6-2 record and finishing third in the BIG EAST Conference’s Blue Division with an 8-3-0 mark. After earning the No. 12 seed and a first-round bye in the NCAA Tournament, Notre Dame knocked off UIC 1-0 in the second round before taking down defending NCAA champion Maryland 1-0 in double-overtime to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in program history. The win over the Terrapins marked the second straight season in which the Irish topped the defending national champion in postseason play. Notre Dame downed Indiana, the two-time defending national champion, 2-0 in the second round of the 2005 tournament.

Accolades were in store for the 2006 Irish squad following the unprecedented success. Lapira won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top player according to the NSCAA. He became the first student-athlete in program history to win a national player of the year award. Lapira, who led all NCAA Division I men’s players with 22 goals and 50 points, also cap-tured player-of-the-year honors from Soccer America along with being Notre Dame’s first-ever unanimous first-team All-American.

Lapira was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, while Dalby was selected as the league’s mid-fielder of the year. In all, the Irish boasted five all-confer-ence performers. Dalby earned first-team All-America honors for the second straight season.

The 2005 season presented some challenges for Clark as the Irish had to reload after losing a stellar senior class following the 2004 campaign. A difficult slate faced Notre Dame and the Irish responded with a 12-8-3 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 16. The Irish had an impressive run as they posted back-to-back 2-0 shutouts in the first two rounds of the tournament. The Irish topped Western Illinois at home and then hit the road and took down the Hoosiers. The victory over Indiana marked the first time in nine tries that Notre Dame had ever knocked off a defending national champion in regular season or postseason play.

Dalby became the first player in program history to be named a first-team All-American on three separate lists (NSCAA, Soccer Times, College Soccer News). He also was a unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST selection and a M.A.C. Hermann Trophy semifinalist. Ian Etherington joined Dalby as a first-team all-league member.

In 2004, the Fighting Irish faced lofty preseason expectations despite losing key components to a squad that won the BIG EAST tournament the previous year. Notre Dame lost a valuable seven-member class, which contained five all-BIG EAST selections and 35 of the team’s 38 goals in 2003, to graduation. The 2004 Irish still managed to post a 13-3-3 record that included an 11-game unbeaten streak and they peaked at No. 4 in the national polls.

The ’04 squad was led by a stout defense that allowed just nine goals on the year en route to the program’s first regular-season BIG EAST title with an 8-1-1 conference mark, which led to Clark and assistant coaches Brian Wiese and Mike Avery being named the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year. Six members of the Irish squad earned all-BIG EAST honors, including All-America goalkeeper Chris Sawyer, who received his second straight BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year award. Fellow seniors Kevin Goldthwaite and Jack Stewart joined Sawyer on the first-team all-conference team with Stewart winning the BIG EAST’s Defensive Player of the Year.

Head Coach

national runner-up.His final season with the Cardinal, the 2000 cam-

paign, ranked as one of the most successful in Stanford history. The 18-3-1 record matched the school standard for wins in a season (tying the mark set by his ’98 team). The final national rankings of fourth (Soccer America) and sixth (NSCAA) qualify as the second-highest ever at Stanford. His teams also spent two weeks ranked number one in the country, marking the first time Stanford had ever been atop a collegiate poll in men’s soccer.

In 2000, the Cardinal broke nine school records and tied another, earned individual MVP honors at three in-season tournaments and saw 13 players win all-Pac-10 accolades. Included in that number was Nelsen, who was named the Pac-10 Player of the Year, as well as the NSCAA/adidas Collegiate Men’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year. In NCAA play, Clark’s team defeated Cal State Fullerton and Illinois-Chicago before falling in the quarterfinals to SMU.

Clark led Stanford to its third consecutive NCAA appearance in 1999, the sixth visit to the tournament in school history. The Cardinal ended the season with a

a league member. In addition, five players earned all-BIG EAST acco-

lades, which included two first-team selections (Erich Braun and Detter). Sawyer was named to the 11-mem-ber Soccer America All-Freshman Team. Notre Dame also finished 18th in the final NSCAA and Soccer America rankings.

Prior to being named head coach at Notre Dame, Clark spent five seasons at Stanford where he produced the most successful era in the history of the Cardinal program. When he arrived on the Palo Alto, Calif., campus, he inherited a team that had produced con-secutive 5-12 campaigns and had not posted a winning record in four years. In his five seasons at Stanford, Clark turned the program around, creating a consistent national powerhouse.

As Director of Soccer, Clark oversaw both the Cardinal men’s and women’s programs and specifically served as the head coach of the men’s program. In his five seasons at the helm of the Cardinal men, Clark compiled a 71-21-12 (.740) record. Clark guided Stanford to the NCAA Tournament each of his last four years (1997-2000), and his 1998 squad was the

round ended the 2004 campaign for the Fighting Irish, yet the program continued to establish itself as one of the best in the nation. That trend has been evident since Clark took over the reigns in 2001 and it did not take him long to steer Notre Dame to unprecedented levels.

Poised with one of the most talented teams in Notre Dame men’s soccer history, Clark and his staff chose ‘Making History’ as the team motto for the 2003 season. The Irish followed that motto perfectly, claim-ing the program’s second BIG EAST Championship (the first under Clark), rising as high as third in the national rankings, hosting two NCAA Championship matches at Alumni Field (including a Round-of-16 contest) and earning the program’s highest-ever seed in the NCAA Championship (fifth overall). However the 2003 season ended with a tough-luck 1-1 tie against Michigan and the Wolverines advanced 4-3 on penalty kicks. Notre Dame still enjoyed a successful run, which featured regular-season wins over both teams that appeared in the NCAA title game (St. John’s and Indiana).

The outstanding season was highlighted by a memorable run through the BIG EAST Championship. The Irish, behind tournament outstanding defensive player in Sawyer, shut out all three opponents during the championship to claim the program’s second con-ference title and first since 1996.

The Irish program also received numerous individ-ual accolades, including All-America honors for senior forward Justin Detter and Sawyer. A school-record eight Irish players earned all-BIG EAST honors while Detter joined classmate Kevin Richards as the first Clark-era Irish players to be drafted into the MLS.

The 2002 season saw Clark lead his team to an impressive 12-6-3 record and spend all but one week ranked in the top-25 (peaking at No. 5). The Irish ended the BIG EAST season with a 6-3-1 mark and finished fourth in the league’s final regular-season standings. For the first time in school history, Notre Dame played host to an NCAA Championship match. The Irish advanced to the second round of the tournament for just the second time in school history following a 3-1 victory over Akron. During the ’02 campaign, Notre Dame defeated four ranked opponents and three top-10 foes. Clark’s squad finished the season 20th in the final Soccer America rankings.

Clark wasted little time in bringing the Notre Dame program back into the national forefront in his first season in 2001 as the Irish earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since the 1996 campaign. Clark’s squad flourished under his guidance and leadership as the Irish registered a 12-7-0 record, which marked the most victories in five years.

He earned his sixth coach-of-the-year accolade when he was selected as the BIG EAST Coach of the Year after leading the Irish to a 7-3-0 conference mark. Notre Dame tied for second in the final regular-season standings and advanced to the semifinals of the con-ference championship. It marked the most wins and highest finish ever by an Irish team in seven seasons as

Morgan. The couple has three children, Tamhas, Rory and Mhairi.

The Clark’s youngest son, Jamie, graduated from Stanford in 1999. A two-time All-American, he played professionally for the San Jose Earthquakes (MLS) and Raith Rovers in Scotland. After serving as an assistant coach under his father for two years at Notre Dame (2006 & 2007), Jamie accepted the head coaching position at Harvard University. Following two success-full seasons with the Crimson, he was at the helm of the Creighton University program during the 2010 campaign before taking the head coaching spot at the University of Washington in January of 2011.

Jamie is just one of the coaches who has worked under the elder Clark that is now at the helm of their own program. Wiese currently is the head coach at Georgetown University, while Avery has the same position at Valparaiso University. University of Rhode Island head coach John O’Connor worked under Clark at Dartmouth as did Geoff Wheeler, who is the head coach at Wesleyan University.

record for consecutive scoreless minutes snapped by Manchester United’s Edwin Van der Sar. Clark went 1,155 minutes without allowing a goal while playing with the Aberdeen Dons during the 1970-71 Scottish first division season.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Clark graduated from Jordanhill College in 1967. He and his wife Bette, have three children: Tommy, Jennifer and Jamie.

Tommy, a 1992 graduate of Dartmouth, earned a bachelor’s degree in English. He was a regional All-American while playing with the Big Green – and played professional soccer in Zimbabwe, New Zealand and New Mexico. He and his wife are graduates of the Medical School at Dartmouth. They have two children, Hugh and Annabell. Tommy is the founder and CEO of Grassroot Soccer, an international AIDS awareness and education organization that reaches youth in Africa through soccer clinics.

first-round NCAA loss to Santa Clara; yet with a 12-4-3 overall mark, it finished with double-digit victories for the fourth consecutive year.

The 1998 season saw Clark direct the best season in the history of Stanford soccer. Not only did the Cardinal win its first NCAA Tournament match, it advanced three steps further to the NCAA champion-ship game following wins against San Jose State, San Diego, Virginia and Maryland. Stanford fell to Indiana, 3-1, in the title game to finish with a No. 2 national ranking. The team won a school-record 18 matches, surpassing the mark of 16 wins recorded in 1978. Following the season, his son Jamie became the first Cardinal to be named an NSCAA first-team All-American.

In his first season at Stanford in 1996, Clark led the Cardinal to a 10-4-4 record, its first winning season since 1992, and was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Mountain Division Coach of the Year.

The 1997 campaign was a break-out year for the program as Stanford posted a 13-5-2 record, earned its first MPSF Mountain Division title, its first top-10 rank-ing and its first trip to the NCAA Tournament in five years. Following the 1997 season, Clark was named NSCAA Far West Region Coach of the Year and garnered MPSF Mountain Division Coach-of-the-Year honors for the second consecutive season.

Prior to arriving at Stanford, Clark compiled an impressive soccer background as both coach and player. From 1994-96, as head coach of the New Zealand National Team, he produced a 21-12-3 mark while working with the Senior National Team and the Olympic squad along with the Under-20 and Under-17 teams. For his efforts, Clark was awarded the 1995 Jim McCullen Trophy, given by the New Zealand national media to the person who did the most for New Zealand soccer.

Clark began his collegiate coaching career as the head coach at Dartmouth College from 1985-93. In nine seasons, Clark compiled an 82-42-13 record (.646) and led the Big Green to three Ivy titles (’98, ’90 and ’92) and a pair of NCAA quarterfinal appearances. His ‘90 team defeated Vermont and Columbia in NCAA action before falling to eventual NCAA runner-up Rutgers. His ’92 squad defeated St. John’s and Seton Hall before losing to eventual champion Virginia. Clark’s Dartmouth teams were ranked in the top-10 for four consecutive years, and he was twice named the NSCAA Region I Coach of the Year (1990, ‘92). His ‘90 team finished eighth in the final Intercollegiate Soccer Coaches Association of America poll.

Along with his international coaching experience in New Zealand, Clark also coached in Africa and in his native Scotland. In Zimbabwe, he was Director of Coaching with the Bulawayo Highlanders in the Zimbabwean Super League for the 1983-84 season. In Scotland, he was the Youth coach with Aberdeen F.C. in the Scottish Premier League. He was also one of the Scottish Football Association’s staff coaches.

Prior to coaching, Clark enjoyed a distinguished professional career in the Scottish League. From 1962-82, he made more than 800 first-team appearances, 696 of which were with the Aberdeen Dons from 1965-1982. With the Dons, Clark won the 1970 Scottish Cup, the 1976 League Cup and the 1980 Premier League Championship. Clark, who represented Scotland at every level of professional soccer, was involved in three of Scotland’s World Cup campaigns as a player in 1970, 1974 and 1978, contributing to the Scottish squad that advanced to the finals of the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.

Clark’s success in Aberdeen is legendary. In ’02, he was honored by the team as one of its top-25 members of all-time. In two Scottish off-seasons, Clark played professionally for the Washington Whips of the United Soccer Association (1967), and the San Antonio Thunder of the North American Soccer League (1976).

In February of 2009, Clark saw his 38-year British

Bobby Clark on …philosophy … Experience over the years has shown me that it is great to have good players. But it is more important to have a good team. Being part of a good team allows players the opportunity to both fulfill their potential and enjoy their sport to the fullest, whether they are a starter, a bench player or practice player.

challenges … One of the exciting elements of coaching soccer at the collegiate level is the nature of the college structure. With players graduating and leaving the program every year, it forces all coaches to adjust. It is a different team each year because of losing key players, but that is one of the challenges of coaching. Teams are never the same every year. It’s continually changing and always a challenge.

Notre Dame … First of all, I am so lucky to be given the challenge and opportunity to be coaching here. I enjoy a new challenge and that is what was so appealing to me about this situation and what I like most about coming to this University. It has always been a solid program, but it is one of the men’s soccer programs in the country that can be truly great. I was a in a similar position at Stanford when I took the job there. Notre Dame is a program with so much potential because of the great academic school it is and the tre-mendous athletic tradition it has. Notre Dame has everything it needs to become one of the truly great soccer programs nationally.

his game/coaching style … Soccer has to be fun for everyone involved – players and coaches. Practice has to be fun. Players have to enjoy being part of a group; they have to enjoy coming to practice. If players are having fun, then they will more receptive to listening and learning what we are teaching them in practice. If they are not having fun, then it will make learning difficult. Even with conditioning drills, the fun should be in everyone doing it together and getting everyone through it as a team.

defining a successful season … For me a successful season is being in contention for something at the end of the season. That can mean that if you have a good team, then making the playoffs (in our case the BIG EAST Tournament) or getting a bid in the NCAA Tournament. But if you are not a good team, you can still be playing for your own goals — the goals you have set for that team. A team can be 1-10, but still be very excited about playing for its own goals. As a coach, you have to have realistic goals for your players, and in turn, your players must be realistic in setting their goals for the season. The key always is to have fun.

his enthusiasm … As the head coach, it is my responsibility to be enthusiastic and get the players motivated. I’ve never had a prob-lem with that. Every morning I wake up, I’m excited for the challenges that will present themselves to me on that day. My philosophy is a simple one: if you don’t have a passion and excitement for the job, then you shouldn’t be doing it.

As a player, Bobby Clark enjoyed a successful 20-year stint as a goalkeeper in the Scottish League.

Assistant Coachsophomores Phil Edington and Othaniel Yanez both copped all-league honors for the Cardinals.

In four seasons with Saint Francis, Craig posted a 31-31-13 record, which is second on the school’s all-time coaching wins list. He led the Red Flash to their first two Northeast Conference (NEC) Tournament appearances and also produced the program’s first winning season during the 2004 campaign en route to being named the NEC Coach of the Year. Craig led Saint Francis to a 27-19-11 record, including an 18-11-7 mark in the NEC, over his final three seasons. The Red Flash produced a winning record in each of those three seasons and he developed two NSCAA Regional All-Americans and seven all-conference selections.

Craig led his 2006 Saint Francis team to the school’s first-ever appearance in the NEC championship match. He guided the Red Flash to a 10-7-3 mark, which tied a school record that was previously set in Craig’s second season with the program in 2004.

Craig joined the Red Flash staff after serving as an assistant coach at Dartmouth College from 1998-2003. In the fall of 2002, he helped lead the perennial Ivy League power to a conference championship and a 9-7-1 record. The Big Green posted a 5-1-1 league mark and finished the 2002 season ranked third in the Northeast Region. Craig also helped direct the Big Green to an NCAA Tournament berth in 2000.

Prior to joining the Dartmouth staff, Craig served as an assistant coach at his alma mater Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., from 1995-96. During his tenure at Gordon, the Fighting Scots posted a 30-8-4 record and qualified for the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament both seasons.

Prior to that, he had a four-year stint (2003-06) as head coach at Saint Francis University (Pa.).

The Fighting Irish have enjoyed three successful seasons with Craig on the sidelines. Notre Dame has posted a 33-21-10 record, including a 21-7-3 mark in the BIG EAST, along with qualifying for the NCAA Championship all three seasons. Notre Dame captured the 2008 BIG EAST Blue Division crown during Craig’s first year with the Irish.

The Irish have produced 14 all-league selections and nine Major League Soccer (MLS) draft picks since Craig has been on campus.

In 2010, Notre Dame garnered the No. 9 seed and a first-round bye for the NCAA Championship. The Irish fell to Dartmouth, 2-1 in overtime, during the second round to finish the season with a 10-6-4 record and a No. 21 national ranking in the final National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll.

The Irish went 6-2-1 in BIG EAST play in 2010 and advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament for the third straight season.

Five Notre Dame student-athletes received all-BIG EAST accolades for the 2010 season. Headlining the Fighting Irish honorees were first-team selections Jeb Brovsky and Steven Perry. Perry led all BIG EAST players in goals with 12 and was tied for the points lead with 28. The senior duo also was named to the NSCAA Scholar All-America team.

Aaron Maund and Dillon Powers were named to the all-BIG EAST second team in 2010 and Harrison Shipp was selected to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

Brovsky, Perry and Bilal Duckett were picked in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, while Philip Tuttle was taken in the supplemental draft. The Vancouver Whitecaps FC chose both Brovsky and Duckett, while the New

Craig copped accolades of his own in 2010 as he was named one of the top 20 assistant coaches in NCAA Division I men’s soccer according to College Soccer News.

Craig also has seen some of his Fighting Irish play-ers experience success on the international level. Maund and Powers both were members of the United States Under-20 National Team that competed at the 2009 U-20 World Cup in Egypt. In August of 2010, Powers was named the MVP of the Milk Cup Tournament as he helped lead the U.S. Under-20 National Team to the title with a 3-0 record.

During Craig’s second season on the Irish sidelines, Notre Dame posted an 11-8-4 record and finished sec-ond in the BIG EAST Blue Division with an 8-3-0 mark. Notre Dame missed out on winning the BIG EAST Championship as the Irish were taken down in penalty kicks by St. John’s, 5-3, following a scoreless draw in the title game.

Six Notre Dame players garnered all-BIG EAST honors in 2009. Bright Dike, who led the league in points (26) and goals (11), was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year. Michael Thomas joined Dike on the all-BIG EAST first team, while fellow senior Justin Morrow was a second-team pick. Brovsky and Maund were selected to the third team and Powers was named to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

Dike, Thomas and Morrow all were selected during the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. Dike went in the first round to the Columbus Crew, while the San Jose Earthquakes picked Thomas and Morrow in the second round. Thomas also was named a third-team Academic All-American for the 2009 campaign.

In 2008, Notre Dame compiled a 12-7-2 record, including a 7-2-2 mark in the BIG EAST to win the conference’s Blue Division. The Fighting Irish were seeded 12th for the NCAA Championship and fell to Northwestern, 2-1, in the second round. Notre Dame concluded the season ranked 16th in the final NSCAA poll.

Accolades were in store for the Irish during the 2008 season. Senior Matt Besler became the first player in program history to be named a first-team All-American and first-team Academic All-American. In addition, Besler was the first Irish player to ever be named the NSCAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Besler and Dike were both first-team all-BIG EAST selections and headlined a group of five Notre Dame players to cop all-league honors.

Besler also heard his named called during the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. He was taken with the eighth pick overall in the first round by the Kansas City Wizards.

Assistant Coachpick. Miller also earned the distinction of becoming the first player in program history to be named both an All-American and Academic All-American in the same year.

Lapira and Miller were unanimous first-team all-BIG EAST selections in ‘07. The duo spearheaded a group of seven Fighting Irish players that copped all-conference accolades. In addition to their all-league honors, Lapira and Miller heard their names called in the third round of the MLS SuperDraft.

In 2006, which was Riley’s first on the Irish sidelines, Notre Dame concluded the season ranked sixth nation-ally after compiling a 15-6-2 record and finishing third in the BIG EAST Conference’s Blue Division with an 8-3-0 mark. After earning the No. 12 seed and a first-round bye in the NCAA Championship, Notre Dame knocked off Illinois-Chicago 1-0 in the second round before taking down defending NCAA champion Maryland 1-0 in dou-ble-overtime to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in program history.

Accolades were abundant for the 2006 Irish squad following the unprecedented success. Lapira won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top player accord-ing to the NSCAA. He became the first student-athlete in program history to win a national player of the year award. Lapira, who led all NCAA Division I men’s players with 22 goals and 50 points, also captured player of the year honors from Soccer America along with being Notre Dame’s first-ever unanimous first-team All-American.

Lapira was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, while his teammate Greg Dalby was selected as the league’s midfielder of the year. In all, the Irish boasted five all-conference performers. Dalby earned first-team All-America honors for the second straight season and was selected by the Colorado Rapids in the second round of the MLS draft. The Chicago Fire picked Nate Norman in the second round.

Riley also has seen some of his Fighting Irish players experience success on the international level. Maund and Powers both were members of the United States Under-20 National Team that competed at the 2009 U-20 World Cup in Egypt. In August of 2010, Powers was named the MVP of the Milk Cup Tournament as he helped lead the U.S. Under-20 National Team to the title with a 3-0 record.

In May 2007, Lapira earned a cap with the Ireland Senior National Team during a friendly against Ecuador. Miller became the first current or former Notre Dame player to earn a spot on a United States Men’s Senior National Team roster. Miller was one of 24 players on the U.S. squad that faced Chile in an international friendly in January of 2011.

Riley, a native of Houston, Texas, was a four-time monogram winner and received all-BIG EAST honors on three occasions during his Notre Dame career. He started 75 games in a Fighting Irish uniform and was an integral part of the Notre Dame squad that captured the 2003 BIG EAST tournament championship. That team would also make the program’s second-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 16.

For his career, Riley totaled 52 points on 10 goals and 32 assists. He led the team in assists three times and was Notre Dame’s top scorer as a freshman. Riley currently ranks second on the Irish career list for assists. He gradu-ated with a degree in theology from the College of Arts and Letters and was twice named to the BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team.

Following his graduation from Notre Dame in 2004, Riley served as an assistant coach at Oberlin College in Ohio during the 2004 season. He helped guide the Yeomen to a 9-8-3 record as five players earned all-North Coast Athletic Conference honors.

Riley’s wife, Caitlin, also is a Notre Dame graduate.

Chad Riley is poised to begin his sixth season as an assistant coach for the Fighting Irish in 2011.

Over the past five campaigns, Notre Dame has compiled a 62-32-17 record, including a 36-10-7 mark in BIG EAST Conference play.

The BIG EAST ConferenceThe 2011-12 academic year is the 33rd in the

history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2011-12 year marks the conference’s seventh straight with the same 16-member group, making for the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2010-11 year was no different.

Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners, while 22 earned Capital One Academic All-America recognition. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Cup as the nation’s top female student-athlete and was chosen as the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut men’s basketball team won its third national championship, completing a magical run through five games of the BIG EAST Championship and six wins in the NCAA tournament. The Villanova women’s cross country team won the NCAA title for the second straight year and the ninth time overall. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team won its third NCAA title, while BIG EAST teams reached national championship games in women’s basketball (Notre Dame) and men’s soccer (Louisville).

The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the second time in the last three years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Indianapolis, capping a season in which the Huskies extended their NCAA-record winning streak to 90 games.

Individually, BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships, including an unprecedented four by Villanova’s Sheila Reid. Reid was the 2010 individual cross country champion, a member of the Wildcats’ winning indoor distance medley relay team and won the 5,000- and 1,500-meter titles in outdoor track & field. Louisville’s Matt Hughes, meanwhile, repeated as the NCAA champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA outdoor meet.

Moore and Reid joined Notre Dame soccer standout Melissa Henderson as winners of Honda Sports Awards as the top performers in their respective sports. Moore also became the first three-time winner of the Wade Trophy as the nation’s top women’s basketball player and joined Villanova lacrosse player Brian Karalunas as winners of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Connecticut claimed the league’s Bowl Championship Series bid for the first time as the Huskies shared the conference title with Pittsburgh and West Virginia. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record for the second straight year.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new

members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. When Texas Christian University joins the conference in the 2012-13 academic year, the conference will have a footprint in 30 percent of the nation’s television households.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 31 national championships in six different sports and 133 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won four of the last 13 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 12 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair in 2009 and has continued to steer the conference on its path of success.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past eight years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

Season In Review

BACK TO THE DANCE …Notre Dame made its 10th straight NCAA

Championship appearance in 2010. All 10 trips have come under the direction of head coach Bobby Clark. The Fighting Irish earned the tournament’s No. 9 seed. It marked the sixth time that Notre Dame has received one of the 16 national seeds and a first-round bye. The Irish fell to Dartmouth, 2-1, in overtime during the second round.

A DECADE OF CONSISTENCY … Notre Dame’s streak of 10 straight NCAA

Championship appearances ranks in a tie for fifth nationally. Virginia has the longest streak at 30 seasons, followed by UCLA (28), Indiana (24) and Connecticut (13). The Irish are tied with Maryland.

ALL-LEAGUE ACCOLADES …Five Irish players garnered all-BIG EAST

accolades. Headlining the honorees were first-team selections Jeb Brovsky, a senior midfielder, and Steven Perry, a senior for-ward. Junior defender Aaron Maund and sophomore midfielder Dillon Powers were named to the second team. Freshman for-ward Harrison Shipp was selected to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.

ALL-REGION RECOGNITION …Steven Perry and Aaron Maund earned

2010 All-Great Lakes Region honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Perry was a second-team pick, while Maund was named to the third team.

A SCHOLARLY EFFORT …Jeb Brovsky and Steven Perry were

named National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Scholar All-Americans. The Fighting Irish duo was among the 16-man team from the University Division.

A CLASS ACT … Jeb Brovsky was named one of 10 final-

ists for the 2010 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in the men’s soccer division. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classi-fied as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excel-lence – classroom, character, community and competition. A media committee selected the finalists from a list of 30 candi-dates.

PLAYING IN THE PROS …Jeb Brovsky, Steven Perry and Bilal

Duckett were selected in the 2011 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. The Vancouver Whitecaps FC picked Brovsky and Duckett, while the New England Revolution selected Perry. Brovsky was the first pick in the sec-ond round (19th overall selection) and Duckett, a defender, was the first pick in the third round (37th overall). Perry went two picks after Duckett in the third round. The San Jose Earthquakes selected Irish goal-keeper Philip Tuttle in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft.

BERTICELLI CHAMPS … Notre Dame captured the ninth annual

Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament title. The Fighting Irish defeated Drake (2-0) and Cal Poly (5-1) to win the tournament that is named in honor of the former Notre Dame coach. It marked the fourth time that the Irish won the event. Notre Dame also took home the crown in 2003, 2005 and 2008.

EARLY SEASON OFFENSE … The five goals scored in the 5-1 win over

Cal Poly (Sept. 12) marked the fourth time in the past five seasons that Notre Dame has

tallied five goals in one of its first four matches of the season. In 2009, the Irish bested Michigan 5-0 in the season opener. In 2008, Notre Dame topped USF 5-0 in the fourth game of the campaign. In the fourth contest of the 2006 season, the Fighting Irish bested Indiana 5-4 in overtime.

IRISH EXPLOSION … The five goals scored in the second half

against Cal Poly on Sept. 12 were the most goals scored in a single period by the Fighting Irish since they netted five in the first half during a 5-0 win over Villanova on Oct. 23, 2002. It marked the most goals scored in a second half since depositing seven in a 7-1 triumph of Western Michigan on Oct. 14, 1997.

PERRY PERFORMING … Steven Perry led all BIG EAST players with

12 goals during the 2010 season, while his 28 points ranked in a tie for first in the league. Perry’s five game-winning goals were tied for first among all BIG EAST play-ers. He had three two-goal games on the season. Perry’s goal (12), assist (4) and point totals (28) all were single-season career-best numbers for the Oklahoma native. Notre Dame was 7-1-1 in 2010 when Perry netted a goal.

Notre Dame Notches Another Successful SeasonFighting Irish earn 10th straight trip to the NCAA Championship.

CLARK IN THE CONFERENCE … Head coach Bobby Clark has steered the

Irish to a winning record within BIG EAST Conference play during all 10 of his seasons at Notre Dame. Clark has a 69-24-11 (.716) BIG EAST regular-season mark during his Notre Dame tenure, which began in 2001. His Irish teams have captured three regular-season BIG EAST titles (2004, 2007, 2008) and one BIG EAST tournament championship (2003).

TUTTLE RETURNS … Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Philip Tuttle

returned to the Fighting Irish lineup on Sept. 29 against Northwestern after missing the first seven games of the campaign with a knee injury he suffered while training during the summer with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. In addition to miss-ing the first seven matches of this season, Tuttle did not play in Notre Dame’s final three contests of the 2009 season after breaking his thumb against Louisville in the semifinals of the BIG EAST Championship.

CLEAN SHEETS … Junior goalkeeper Will Walsh posted four

shutouts in his seven starts during the 2010 season. Walsh saw a career-best scoreless streak of 357 minutes come to an end when Cal Poly scored with six seconds remaining in the 5-1 Irish victory on Sept. 12. Walsh had not seen game action prior to the 2010 campaign.

ALL OVER THE MAP ... Notre Dame’s 29-man 2010 roster

boasted student-athletes from 18 different states. The state represented the most on the Irish roster was Illinois, which is home to six Notre Dame players on the 2010 squad. Brendan King (Naperville), Greg Klazura (Rockford), Craig Krzyskowski (Western Springs), Bob Novak (Homer Glen), Danny O’Leary (Naperville) and Harrison Shipp (Lake Forest) all hail from the Prairie State. Next in line was Texas, which has supplied the Irish with four players.

ROOKIE RANKINGS … Notre Dame’s 2010 freshman class was

ranked ninth nationally according to College Soccer News. Leon Brown (F), Kyle Craft (M), Adam LaPlaca (GK), Luke Mishu (D), Andrew O’Malley (D), Alex Priede (F), Harrison Shipp (M/F) and Patrick Wall (GK) make up the stellar class.

DEFENSIVE CONSISTENCY … The most goals surrendered by the Irish

defense in a single match during the 2010 season was two, which occurred five times. It marked the first time since 2004 Notre Dame went through an entire season without allowing more than two goals in a game.

MILK CUP MVP …Dillon Powers was named the MVP of the

2010 Milk Cup Tournament, which is an international youth soccer tournament held annually in Northern Ireland. Powers was part of the United States Under-20 National Team that captured the Milk Cup Elite Section title by posting a 3-0 record during the August tournament. He earned a start in two of the three matches.

LOSE THE SHOES … At halftime of the Notre Dame-

Providence match on Oct. 3, the champion-ship game of Notre Dame’s ‘Lose the Shoes’ tournament was held. The proceeds from the 3-on-3 barefoot soccer tournament bene-fited Grassroot Soccer, a South Africa-based non-governmental organization that inte-grates the cross-cultural appeal of soccer with evidence-based HIV prevention and life skills programs that arm African youth with the knowledge, skills, and support to live HIV free. Dr. Tommy Clark, the eldest son of Notre Dame head coach Bobby Clark, is a cofounder of Grassroot Soccer. In the fall of 2006, Dartmouth College held the first ever ‘Lose the Shoes’ tournament and since then, over 80 ‘Lose the Shoes’ tournaments have raised almost $150,000. Notre Dame held its first ‘Lose the Shoes’ tournament in 2009. The semifinals of the 2010 tournament were held at halftime of the Notre Dame-St. John’s women’s game on Oct. 3. The preliminary games of the tournament took place on Oct. 2 on Notre Dame’s South Quad.

A GREAT NIGHT FOR GRASSROOT … Notre Dame held its annual exhibition

game to benefit Grassroot Soccer on Aug. 23 against UIC. Over 2,000 fans packed into Alumni Stadium to watch the Irish defeat the Flames, 3-2. A grand total of $3,000 was raised for Grassroot Soccer, an international AIDS awareness and education organization that reaches youth in Africa through soccer clinics. A total of $1,000 worth of donations were received at the gate and during the match. Head coach Bobby Clark, whose son Tommy is the founder and CEO of the organi-zation, and the Notre Dame men’s soccer camp donated $2,000.

MAUND MAKING A DIFFERENCE … Junior central defender Aaron Maund

was the only Notre Dame player to play every minute on the pitch during the 2010 season. He anchored the backline and helped the Irish produce a 0.91 goals-against average and limit opponents to 4.7 shots on goal per game. In addition, he tallied one goal and two assists. Maund has started all 59 matches in which he has played during his Irish career.

TAKING THEIR GAME TO TOYOTA …Notre Dame faced Northwestern on Sept.

29 at Toyota Park, which is home to the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer (MLS). It marked Notre Dame’s first-ever game in an MLS venue. The Fighting Irish and Wildcats played to a 1-1 draw.

SHIPP GIVING A HELPING HAND (OR FOOT) …

Freshman forward Harrison Shipp tied for the team lead in assists with six. In his first career start, he assisted on Notre Dame’s first three goals of the game in a 4-1 win over Marquette (Oct. 13). Shipp dished out two assists in a 3-1 triumph of Seton Hall on Oct. 19.

DOUBLE DIGITS … Head coach Bobby Clark has steered the

Irish to a double-digit win total in each of his 10 seasons at Notre Dame.

HOME SWEET HOME … Notre Dame was 8-2-1 at home during

the 2010 season. That included a 6-0 mark against BIG EAST teams. The Irish out scored their opponents 23-9 in games played at Alumni Stadium.

SECOND HALF SUCCESS … Notre Dame out-scored its opponents

20-10 in the second half during the 2010 campaign. The Fighting Irish were 6-2-4 when tied at halftime.

CAPTAIN KEEPER … Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Philip Tuttle

was Notre Dame’s lone captain for the 2010 campaign.

HOLDING THE LEAD … The Fighting Irish were 9-0 in 2010 when

they scored first. Notre Dame was 1-6-1 when its opponent netted the first goal.

All-Time Honors/Awards

This award was first presented in 1993 and is named in honor of a former Notre Dame wrestler who died in 1973 following his freshman year at the University. He was the son of Jane and the late William “Bucky” O’Connor (he played football at Notre Dame in 1942, ’46 and ’47) from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The awards — which go to one female and one male graduating senior student-athlete — are presented to those individuals upon nomination by their head coaches, who best dis-play the total embodi-ment of the true spirit of Notre Dame as exempli-fied by their contribu-tions and inspiration to their teams. Among the qualities considered in nominating invididuals – as attributed to Pat

O’Connor – are caring, courage, confidence, encouragement, humility, humor, honesty, kindness and patience.

The Notre Dame men’s soccer team has had three of its former players honored with the Francis Patrick O’Connor Award, which is pre-sented at the spring athletic department awards dinner: Jean Joseph (1995), Reggie McKnight (2000) and Greg Martin (2003).

Jean Joseph

Reggie McKnight

Greg Martin

The Christopher Zorich Award

The 2003 team featured two All-Americans (Chris Sawyer, Justin Detter), eight all-BIG EAST selections and 12 BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team members. Future All-American Greg Dalby was also a member of the ‘03 squad.

This award recognizes the contributions of Notre Dame student-athletes to the University community and the community at-large. The award, which is presented annually each spring, bears the name of Christopher Zorich, two-time football All-American and 1991 graduate of the University of Notre Dame. The men’s soccer winners of the Christopher Zorich award include:

Matt Johnson, 1998 & Jeb Brovsky, 2010

Byron V. Kanaley AwardThe most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley

Award has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders.

The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

The Notre Dame men’s soccer team has had 10 of its players honored with the Kanaley Award, which is presented at the spring athletic department awards dinner: Kevin Lovejoy (1981); Bret Hoffmann (1992); Mike Palmer (1994); Chris Dean (1995), Phil Murphy (1999), Connor La Rose (2000), Andreas Forstner (2002), Greg Dalby (2006), Matt Besler (2008) and Jeb Brovsky (2010).

Rafael Garcia proved to be the hero in Notre Dame’s 3-1 victory over Akron in the 2002 NCAA Tournament as the senior forward scored the first two Irish goals in the contest. The two-goal effort marked the first multiple-goal game of his career.

Justin McGeeney (left) and Joseph Lapira (right) both netted a goal in Notre Dame’s upset victory over Indiana in the second round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers entered the match as the No. 3 seed and the two-time defending NCAA champion.


NCAA Tournament History

Joseph Lapira (top) and Ryan Miller (bottom) celebrate Lapria’s goal that gave Notre Dame a 2-0 lead in its 2-1 win over Oakland in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Miller assisted on the play.

Kurt Martin scored two goals in a 3-2 loss at Virginia in the 2006 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. That tied a program record for goals tallied in an NCAA tournament match.

During Notre Dame’s seven years as a member of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, the Irish compiled a 24-13-4 record (.634) in regular-season competition and were 13-4 (.765) in seven tournament appearances. Notre Dame captured the tournament championship in 1988, won back-to-back titles in 1993 and 1994, and advanced to the semifinals of the MCC Tournament all but one season (1990).

Notre Dame won the North Division regular-season championship in 1989 as the Irish finished with a 5-0-1 mark. Former Notre Dame head coach Mike Berticelli guided his squad to the regular-season championship in 1993 as the Irish finished with a 5-1 record.

The most memorable showing for the Irish in the MCC Tournament came during the 1988 season when the Irish defeated fourth-ranked Evansville and third-ranked St. Louis on successive days to capture the tournament crown and earn the school’s first-ever NCAA bid. All three teams from the MCC were at-large selections into the NCAA tournament that season.

Notre Dame captured its second consecutive Midwestern Collegiate Conference tournament crown in 1994 with a 3-2 overtime win against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Head coach Mike Berticelli was instrumental in guiding the Fighting Irish and Konstantin Koloskov to back-to-back MCC tournament titles in 1993 and 1994.

John Guignon was a key member of the Fighting Irish team that captured the MCC tournament title in 1988. He started all 23 games that season and tallied 16 points on six goals and four assists en route to being named to the all-MCC first team.

Tim Oates (arm raised) celebrates with teammate Rick Christofer after scoring a hat trick in Notre Dame’s 4-1 win over No. 20 Rutgers in the 1993 season opener. Oates would go on to collect all-MCC first-team honors that season and again in 1994.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing

educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great uni-versity, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics.

The University has also stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in the school’s 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly interna-tional student body, coming from over 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Fr. Sorin.

Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletics

programs. The University ranks first among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the 2011 Times Higher Education survey and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to BusinessWeek magazine.


University Leadership

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time –

an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excel-lence in undergraduate education.

During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering.

His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initia-tives that have examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration and energy.

The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and exec-utive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his fourth year as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are meeting the perfor-mance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division, reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing emerging digital technologies to deliver bet-ter information on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded production and distribu-tion of programming, and restruc-turing Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through assignment of a unique adminis-trator to each of the 26 Irish sports.

Notre Dame ranked num-ber one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the three most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys – in 2010 and 2009 with 99 scores (including in ‘09 a 97 score and ’10 a 96 in football that both also ranked number one). The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more per-fect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution. The 2010 Notre Dame APR report featured eight perfect 1,000 scores.

The past three years combined in Notre Dame athletics have featured 94 All-Americans, 19 Academic All-America selec-tions and five NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship winners; record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes; NCAA titles in 2011 in men’s and women’s fencing (a combined championship) and in 2010 in women’s soccer (with Randy Waldrum named coach of the year); NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2011 women’s basketball, 2010 men’s lacrosse, 2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifinal appearances in 2011 hockey, 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a 2010 third-place fencing finish; a men’s basket-ball modern program record 27 victories and a number-two NCAA seed (its highest in 30 years) in 2010-11 (resulting in national coach of the year awards for Mike Brey); the hiring of new Irish head football coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; construction of a new, freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12 season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse – as well

as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center.

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of the city’s suc-cessful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee to the Big Ten Conference. His lead-ership efforts resulted in the city earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association national head-quarters in 1999; hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship compe-titions and an array of national and world championships in Olympic sports.

At Baker & Daniels, Swarbrick served as general counsel for numerous national gov-erning bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a con-sultant to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and chal-

lenges in the sport, and developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a sophomore at TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame freshman.

Academic Excellence

golf a 92 and hockey a 91. With the exception of golf, each of those teams led or tied for first-place in its category. Soccer’s 89 federal graduation rate ranked the Irish second, while football at 85 finished in fourth place behind Boston College (87), Duke (86) and Northwestern (86).

All 11 of the Irish women’s teams (basketball, cross country/track, crew/rowing, fencing, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball) posted perfect Graduation Success Rate numbers that ranked them best in the nation within their sports. Seven (cross country/track, crew/rowing, fencing, golf, lacrosse, tennis and volleyball) produced perfect federal graduation rates that led all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision

institutions.

17 Irish Teams Receive 2011 Academic Progress Rate Awards from the NCAA

Notre Dame ranked number one among all 120 Football Bowl Subdivision institutions with 17 of its athletics programs receiving 2011 Academic Progress Rate public recognition awards from the NCAA for posting multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The 2011 honors were based on the most recent APR numbers that represented the combination of scores from the 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years.

The nine Irish men’s teams singled out for recognition were baseball, basketball, cross country, golf,

hockey, lacrosse, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field.

For the second year in a row, the University of Notre Dame led the nation in all five Graduation Success Rate (GSR) categories, an annual federally-mandated survey by the NCAA. This year’s report, the 20th by the association, covers students who enrolled between 2000 and 2003 at all Division I institutions. The Irish were tops in the areas of graduation rates for all student-athletes (99 percent), male student-athletes (98), female student-athletes (100), black student-athletes (98) and football student-athletes (96).

Notre Dame also ranked first in several categories measured by the Department of Education, whose formula differs slightly from that of the NCAA. Under the federal government’s measurements, which counts all student-athletes who transfer from or leave an institution for any reason as non-graduates, Notre Dame graduated a four-year average of 91 percent of its student-athletes, tying with Stanford for the top spot. Notre Dame also finished first in graduation percentage of women athletes (97) and also shared the top spot with Stanford with its 87 percent graduation rate of male athletes. The Irish placed second behind Rice with its 86 percent graduation rate for black student-athletes and fourth with its football graduation rate of 85 percent.

Notre Dame’s institutional research ranked Irish student-athletes number one in eight of 10 major categories of the two studies, ranking second in one and fourth in the other. Only five schools placed in the top 10 in all 10 categories – Notre Dame (93.7 average), Northwestern (91.7), Duke (90.1), Rice (89.8) and Boston College.

Twenty Notre Dame Teams Excel in Both Federal and

NCAA Graduation Rates

Nine Irish men’s teams posted Graduation Success Rate numbers that ranked them best in the nation within their respective sports – and five produced federal graduation rates that led all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

Baseball, basketball, cross country/track, fencing, golf, lacrosse, soccer and swimming each recorded perfect 100 GSR scores, while football compiled a 96, hockey a 95 and tennis a 93. The teams with 100 GRS scores, along with football at 96, finished or tied for first in their sport category, while hockey’s 95 mark placed it second behind the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The federal figures showed cross country/track, fencing and swimming with a 100 score, while lacrosse had a 93,

highest team GPA ever recorded and signaled the first time a team has achieved a cumulative GPA equal to or above 3.6

During the 2010-11 season, 22 of 26 teams posted GPAs at or above 3.0, including 22 of 26 in the fall semester and 22 of 24 in the spring (men’s and women’s cross country are not included in the spring figures).

Five Irish teams attained their highest semester GPA in 2010-11: women’s golf (3.534 in the spring, 3.638 in the fall), men’s soccer (3.302 in the fall and 3.309 in the spring), rowing (3.421 in the fall), women’s swimming (3.377 in the spring),

and men’s track (3.296 in the spring – also its highest cumulative GPA ever).

2010-11 BIG EAST Academic All-Stars

The BIG EAST Conference annually recognizes student-athletes who achieve an annual grade point average of 3.0 or higher as conference academic all-stars. During 2010-11, 366 of the 503 Irish student-athletes who compete in the BIG EAST – an impressive 73 percent – netted that distinction.

The Fighting Irish men’s soccer program boasted 18 BIG EAST Academic All-Stars for the 2010-11 academic year. In addition, Jeb Brovsky, a three-year starter for the soccer team and a 2011 Notre Dame graduate, was among 24 BIG EAST

student-athletes selected as the recipients of the 2010-11 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards.

Eight Notre Dame women’s sports received honors -- cross country, golf, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field.

Among Bowl Championship Series conference schools, the BIG EAST ranked first with 77 teams honored.

Irish Teams Exceed NCAA Academic Progress

Rate Standards

In the seventh annual set of APR statistics issued by the NCAA, all 26 athletics programs at Notre Dame exceeded the organization’s standards. Nine Irish teams compiled perfect scores of 1,000 – second only to Duke, which had 10 squads with that mark.

Registering perfect scores were five Notre Dame men’s teams – cross country, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field – and four women’s squads – cross country, golf, rowing and tennis.

In addition, 14 other teams produced scores of 989 or better: men’s lacrosse (998), hockey (997), women’s lacrosse (997), women’s soccer (997), women’s swimming and diving (997), softball (996), men’s swimming and diving (994), volleyball (994), women’s indoor and outdoor track and field (993), men’s fencing (992), baseball (989), men’s basketball (989) and men’s soccer (989).

Team/Individual Grade Point Averages

Following the fall 2010 semester, over 64 percent of Notre Dame’s student-
