About Willamette University

Willamette University, the fi rst university in the West, has a heritagedating to its founding in 1842. Students and employees are proud of its academic strength, as well as its beautiful campus. Academic success is typical for students at Willamette. More importantly, faculty and staff are concerned about the overall success of each student, so the focus is not only on quality experiences in the classroom, but also on social and cultural development. Students are expected to work hard in their academic endeavors and are also expected to have fun, be active in the community and bring their own personality to everything they do.

2006 Season Outlook

Page 20

The Willamette University Bearcats areworking toward a successful combinationof experience and youth as they enter the2006 season. Willamette’s experience is heldby three seniors, plus six juniors and fi ve sophomores. The team also features seven freshman, including several with the skillsand talent to battle for starting positions. With so many underclassmen, the ‘Catswill most likely improve throughout the season, as the younger players graduallygain experience. In the meantime, HeadCoach Nelson Larson and the rest of theBearcats will look for quality play from theteam’s seniors: Paul Slavik (MF), ZacharySeilo (D) and Ryan Ward (D). The seniorsare also the team captains for 2006. Slavik played in all 19 games a year agoand provided steady play on defense. Thisyear, he moves into the midfi eld, where hisball control skills can make an even greaterimpact. He also brings a quick, powerfulshot to the WU attack. Seilo and Ward will be key players onthe Willamette defense. Ward saw action in18 games last year, while Seilo played in 17contests. Both are good in the air and willwork hard to protect the goal.

Several returning players who are notseniors appear ready to make an impact thisseason. Mikey Rodrigues (Jr., F) plays well at speed and has the skills to break down a defense. Trevor Jones (Jr., MF) tied for theteam lead with three goals in 2005. Forrest Donoho (So., F) competed in 17 games andNick Forbes (So., F) played in 14 games ayear ago. Both hope to be starters in 2006.

Zachary Seilo moves upfi eld for Willamette. The freshman with the greatest chanceto start is Mark Bennett, a goalkeeper from West HS in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bennett is a talented net-minder with poise and gooddistribution skills. Alek Schilbach, also afreshman, is the backup goalie. Other freshmen who will challenge forstarting positions are Casey Dineen (MF),Luke Lagattuta (D), Andrew Monbouquette(MF) and Sam Moore (MF). Dineen andLagattuta each played three sports in highschool, while Monbouquette scored a totalof 16 goals during his high school career.Moore played on a State Championshipteam at St. Mary’s School in Medford, Ore. Newcomers Adam Dew (Jr., D), IvanGutierrez (So., D/MF) and Ben Ward (Jr.,MF) will battle for signifi cant playing time.In fact, all 21 players have a chance to see

action in Larson’s fi rst year as head coach.

The NCAA and the Northwest Conference

Willamette is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and competes in Division III, which has over425 members and is the largestNCAA division. The colleges in Division III place a priority on the overall quality of theeducational experience and on successful completion of each student’s academicprograms. They seek an environment in which a student-athlete’s activities with anathletic team are seen as an integral part of his or her educational experience. Members in Division III must sponsor at least fivemen’s sports and five women’s sports.

Athletes in Division III do not receive financial aid related to athletic ability. Willamette and other NCAA Division III members encourage students to participate by maximizing the variety of athletic opportunities.Primary emphasis is placed on

conference and regional play. Willamette often sends its teams to California, Idaho,Washington and Texas for in-region games. NCAA Division III members establishan environment with cultural diversity and gender equity among student-athletes and staff. In Division III, employees care aboutthe well-being of their student-athletes.

NCAA Division III

Northwest Conference The nine prviate collegesand universities in Oregonand Washington that form the Northwest Conference are building a reputation for the NWC as one of the top NCAA Division III leaguesin the nation. The NWC isnationally competitive in abroad spectrum of sports. Formed in 1926, the NWC is 80 yearsold and is one of the oldest conferences in the western United States. The NWC’s current members in Oregon are Willamette, George Fox, Linfield, Lewis and Clark, and Pacific. Members located in Washingtonare Pacific Lutheran and Puget Sound, plusWhitman and Whitworth. The charter members in 1926 includedWillamette, College of Idaho (Albertson College), Linfield, Pacific, and the College of Puget Sound (UPS). Albany College wasadded in 1931 and remained for seven

years, then departed and returned in 1949 as Lewisand Clark College. The next member, Pacific Lutheran,joined in 1965, followedby Whitworth in 1970. The College of Idaho withdrewin 1978. Whitworth dropped out in 1984, but returned in1988. Menlo College joined

the NWC in 2006 in football only. The NWC originally sponsored athletic competition for men’s sports only, but joined forces with the Women’s Conference of Independent Colleges in 1984 to formthe Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges. The name was shortened back to the original Northwest Conference in 1998. Also in 1998, all nine NWC membersshifted affiliation from the NAIA to theNCAA. Members knew the move wouldfoster equity, sportsmanship and a genuine

concern for all student-athletes.
