T2 AT ARIZONA UNITED SC SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2015

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH JAY VIDOVICHJay Vidovich was named as T2’s first head coach for the 2015 USL season on Dec. 18, 2014. Vidovich leads T2 after 21 seasons as head coach at Wake Forest Univer-sity, where he has become one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history.

Vidovich, who also serves as an assistant coach for the Portland Timbers first team, joins T2 as one of the most widely regarded soccer coaches at the collegiate level in the United States and an astute developer of talent. The 54-year-old Detroit na-tive has seen many of his players at Wake Forest advance to the professional ranks, including 11 first-round MLS SuperDraft selections since 2005. In total, 29 of Vidovich’s Wake Forest players have been selected by MLS clubs during the MLS SuperDraft since 2000, including U.S. Men’s National Team defender Michael Parkhurst and longtime MLS mainstays Brian Carroll and James Riley. Recently, Vidovich has helped develop players that have made the jump to MLS including Sam Cronin, Ike Opara and former U.S. U-17 National Team captain Jared Watts.

Joining the Demon Deacons as an assistant coach in 1986, Vidovich accepted the role of head coach in 1994 and has built Wake Forest into an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) soccer powerhouse. Under Vidovich’s guidance, Wake Forest reached the NCAA Tournament in 13 of the past 14 seasons and cap-tured five ACC regular-season championships. The program made four consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances from 2006-2009 and won its first NCAA National Championship in 2007.

Vidovich, who was named NSCAA National Coach of the Year in consecutive seasons (2007, 2008), com-piled a 272-121-50 (.670) overall record in 21 years as head coach at Wake Forest. He earned five ACC Coach of the Year Awards (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009), while also logging a 76-52-22 (.580) overall conference record. Outside of the Demon Deacons program, Vidovich also spent time as an assistant coach with the U.S. U-18 National Team in 2009 and as a scout for the U.S. U-23 National Team under Timbers head coach Caleb Porter.

As a player, Vidovich spent one season at Indiana University in 1978 before transferring to Ohio Wesleyan where he was a three-year starter and captained the team to the NCAA semifinals in 1982. Vidovich received a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Ohio Wesleyan, before proceeding to the University of Denver where he earned a master’s degree in sports sciences in 1983.

While at Denver, he began his coaching career as an assistant on the Pioneers’ 1982 team that won the NAIA Division II district and regional championships. In 1983, Vidovich moved to Regis College as an assistant coach, helping guide a team that included two NAIA All-Americans. Prior to earning a job as an assistant at Wake Forest under head coach Walt Chyzowych in 1986, Vidovich returned to his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan, as an assistant coach from 1984-1985.

Vidovich holds a USSF “A” license and a NSCAA Advanced National Diploma.

He and his wife, Julie, have two daughters, Zoe and Tess.

T2 AT ARIZONA UNITED SC SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2015

SCOUTING ARIZONA UNITED SCArizona United SC (3-1-0, 9pts) enters Saturday’s match following a 3-0 road defeat against Orange County Blues at Anteater Stadium on the campus of the University of California Irvine on April 18. The loss snapped Arizona United’s seven-game winning streak, dating back to last year. Following a four-match USL road trip to start the 2015 season, Arizona United makes its home debut against Portland Timbers 2 at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz. Playing four games this season, forwards Long Tan and Dennis Chin lead Arizona United SC, each registering two goals and one assist apiece. Arizona goalkeeper Carl Woszczynski leads USL in saves with 17 through four games played.

LAST MATCH OF THIS ROAD TRIPThis is the last match of a four-game road swing for T2. Following Saturday’s match at Scottsdale Stadium against Arizona Republic SC, T2 return to Portland to face Orange County Blues FC at Providence Park on Sunday, May 3, at 6 p.m. (Pacific). This will be the first regular-season USL match that T2 will play in Providence Park, their parent club’s home stadium.

AMONG LEAGUE LEADERSAmong all USL teams, T2 are tied for fourth place in the Western Conference with seven goals scored. Portland ranks tied for sixth in goals scored (7) and tied for fifth overall in assists provided (6). Individually, forward Kharlton Belmar is tied for third place overall in the league with three goals scored in just five matches. Goalkeeper Jake Gleeson ranks sixth in USL with 13 saves in four matches.

T2 COACHING STAFFHead coach Jay Vidovich’s staff includes two assistant coaches with roots in the Timbers organization. Assistant coach Andrew Gregor spent three seasons with the second-division Timbers during his 12-year professional playing career. A standout with the University of Portland in college, Gregor appeared in 50 league games for the Timbers, tallying 10 goals and eight assists. In 2004, he helped the Timbers capture a regular-season title and earned all-league honors in 2007 while leading the club to the semifinal of the USL First Division playoffs. Gregor, who is also the head coach of the Timbers U-16 Academy team, was named one of the Top 25 USL players of the decade (2000-10).

Assistant coach/goalkeeper coach Steve Reese spent two seasons as goalkeep-er with the Timbers second division side in 2007 and 2008. An Oregon native, Reese has served as a coach at the college and professional level, spending time with Thorns FC of the National Women’s Soccer League in 2014, as well as serving as a coach with the Timbers Academy.

ON LOAN FROM THE FIRST TEAMT2 can expect to see several players from the Timbers first-team squad on loan for matches during the season. First-team midfielder Nick Besler and defenders Taylor Peay and Andy Thoma have all made four appearances this season for T2.

TIMBERS TIES

The T2 roster includes a number players with previous ties to the Timbers. A Camas, Wash., native, Brent Richards was the Timbers first Homegrown Player signing in club history in 2012 and made six appearances (2 starts) during his rookie season. 2012 Timbers Young Player of the Year, Richards played in nine matches with the first team across all competitions and was the second-leading scorer for the Timbers Reserves with four goals in 2012.

Midfielder Steven Evans spent the past two seasons with the MLS Timbers after signing as a Homegrown Player with the club prior to the 2013 season. Born-and-bred in Portland, Evans was a standout at the University of Portland and played four seasons with the Timbers U-23s Premier Development League (PDL) team, where he helped the side win a 2010 PDL title. Last year on loan to Sacra-mento Republic FC, Evans helped the first-year club win the USL championship.

Forward Kharlton Belmar joins T2 after being selected in the second round (No. 34 overall) in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by the Timbers. Last year, Belmar spent the season as a member of the Timbers U-23s, where he tallied eight goals and one assist in 14 games. After earning a spot on the PDL All-Western Conference Team, Belmar was named the Timbers U-23s Player of the Year in 2014.

PORTLAND CONNECTION

T2 midfielder Blair Gavin has a connection to Portland through his older brother, Michael. Michael, who is three years older than Blair, played collegiately at the University of Portland from 2004-07. The elder Gavin was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by the LA Galaxy. The younger Gavin was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by Chivas USA following a standout career at the University of Akron from 2007-09.

T2 INTERNATIONAL PRESENCEIncluding players on loan, the T2 roster features eight players representing sev-en different countries. Santiago Biglieri (Argentina), Rennico Clarke (Jamaica), Harrison Delbridge (Australia), Jake Gleeson and Tim Payne (New Zealand), Fatawu Safiu (Ghana), Schillo Tshuma (Zimbabwe) and Rundell Winchester (Trinidad and Tobago) round out the T2 international players.

ARIZONA TIESArizona United SC share a number of personnel ties with T2. Zimbabwean T2 forward Schillo Tshuma spent time on loan with Arizona United in 2014, making 17 appearances for the club and tallying one assist. Current Arizona United midfielder Cameron Vickers appeared in 15 matches for the Timbers U-23s last year, registering four goals in the Premier Development League (PDL).

AVERAGE AGENot including players on loan to the club, the average overall age of the T2 roster checks in at a youthful, 23.4 years-old. The team’s youngest signed player is 19-year-old Jamaican defender Rennico Clarke, while the oldest is defender Danny O’Rourke (31).

LAST ENCOUNTERArizona United SC and T2 have never faced off in USL competition, but Arizona did defeat the Timbers U-23s PDL team 3-2 in the Second Round of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in May of 2014. Arizona United trailed 2-0 with less than 10 minutes remaining in regulation before Kadeem Dacres and London Woodberry brought Arizona level.
