2 0 0 9 S e a s o n P r e v i e w The 2009 season is one marked with opti-mismandafreshoutlookasUSCUpstatesaysgoodbyetoitsprovisionalstatusinNCAADivi-sionIandsayshellotofullDImembershipfor15-yearheadcoachGreg Hooks.Thesoccerprogram,alongwith thesoftballprogram,waschosen by the University to be fast-trackedinto NCAA DI membership when the schoolannounced the move of its athletics programin 2006. The result is that the men’s soccerprogramhad to only spend two yearsplayingasprovisionalmembersofDIandnowentersanewphaseintheevolutionoftheprogramwiththeopportunityforposteasonA-SunandNCAAtournamentplay.

Buxton’s season was ended after just threegamesduetoaseriouslegmuscleinjury.WithBuxton, the leader in the back, gone for thebetterpart of theseason,Upstatewas forcedto play with young players in the back whichresultedinRegnaandthegoalkeepershavingtofacealotofshots.WithRegnaandBuxtonreturning to the unit, as well as newcomersandexperienced returnees, thedefensiveunitshouldbemuchmoresolidthisseason. Hooks and assistant coach Gary Lynchlooked to improve every spot on the field in recruitingwhileworkingwiththereturningplay-ers to become more consistent. The result isthat every position on the field is either more experienced,moretalented,orboth.Howthatrelatestosuccessin2009isobviouslyaques-tionmark. “I like what I have seen on the field so far,” saidHooksduringpreseasonworkouts. “I likehow hard they are working and the improvedtalent levelwehaveshown.What thatmeansfor the regular season is unknown. We havesome returning players who are talented andhavesomeexperience,butwewillhavetorelyonnewplayerstomakeanimpactaswell.Whatwearelookingforisprogressinthequalitythatwe put out on the field as we try to build the teamintoacompetitiveDivisionIprogram.” InadditiontoRegnaandBuxton,HookswillrelyonreturningstartersBen Brannan(defend-er),Timo Foerster (midfielder), Colin Francis(midfield), Hakeem King (midfield/forward) and Erkan Yildirim(forward)toleadtheteamandlend stability, something that has been drasti-callyneededthelasttwoseasons.Brannanisanexperiencedsenior,whileFoerster,Francis,King and Yildirim are sophomores who benefit-ted from significant time on the field a year ago. While the team will still largely be young, the

coreplayershaveexperienceonthepitch. Now for the bad news, half of the teamhave never worn a Spartan jersey. Adjustingto Hooks’ system and to each other is goingto be crucial for the newcomers in order forthemtomakeanimpact,somethingHookshassaid isvitally important to thesuccessof thisyear’steam.Onapositivenote,severalofthenewcomers are expected to push for significant playing time on the pitch, illustrating the pro-gramismovingintherightdirectionasHooksbuildsaDivisionIprogram. LeadingthegroupofnewplayersareMau-rice Beggs (forward), Isaiah Ferguson (mid-fielder), Porter Massey (defender) and Ka-reem Richardson(defender).Allareexpectedto battle for starting positions while lifting thelevel of talent on the field for the Spartans in 2009. InjuriestookitstollonUpstatein2008andwhile not the only reason the Spartans finished witha2-15-1overallrecordanda1-7-1markin the A-Sun, it was significant. In all, Regna, Buxton,Peter Davis(goalkeeper),Jason Mc-Cabe (goalkeeper) Chad McCoy (forward),Chris McCoy (defender),andPhilipp Soppa (defender) were sidelined or hampered withinjuriesthroughouttheseason.WhiletheSpar-tanshaveaddressedneeds fordepth,Hookscannotaffordtohavethemisfortuneofsimilarinjuriestostriketheteamthisseason. As Upstate enters the season, there isn’tone area that the Spartans can claim is thestrengthof the team.Hookshasa fairly levelamountoftalentfrompositiontoposition.How-ever,withseniorsRegna,BuxtonandBrannanon defense, the unit could be the first to assert itself.WithDivisionIsoccersotoughandthemarginofvictorysoslim,thedefensiveunitisone thatcanmakeorbreak theseason.Lastyear,Upstatelostfourgamesbyasinglegoaland seven by two goals or less. The key to2009isturningthoseclosegamesintowinsortiesinsteadoflosses. “DivisionIsoccerissotoughandthemarginof error is so small that you have to be pre-pared to have all 11 guys on the field play every second of every game,” said Hooks. “MakingthetransitionfromDivisionIItoDivisionI isaprocessandwearebuildingourprogram.” Upstate will once again play a regionallytoughschedule.TheSpartansopen the2009seasonlikeitendedthe2008campaign,play-ingatClemson.However, thegameatRiggsField is an exhibition game this year.

•• Forward ••

The forward unit will benefit by the experience gainedbylastyear’sstartersHakeem KingandErkan Yildirim as well as newcomer Maurice Beggs. King(So.,PortofSpain,Trinidad)startedall18 games for Upstate last year and finished with agoalandthreeassists.However,hisspeedandathleticismupfronthelpedopenthingsupfortheother attacking player son the field for Upstate. Kingwillmostlikelystarttheseasoninthemid-field, but could move up top in case of injury or duringcertaingamesituations. Yildirim(Jr.,Flensburg,Germany)hadasolidfirst season with Upstate in 2008. He ranked in a tieforthirdontheteaminscoringwithsixpointsontwogoalsandtwoassists.HeisexpectedtocontinueinhisdevelopmentandleadtheSpar-tansuptop. Beggs(Jr.,Arima,Trinidad)isatalentednew-comertotheteamaftertwosuccessfulyearsatMiddle Georgia College. He has natural abilitytoput theball in thenetandbringsaddedskilland athleticism to the unit. He andYildirim areexpectedtobethestartersatthepositionearlyintheseason. Chad McCoy (Jr., Houston, Texas) returnsto the team after having surgery to fix a severe ankle injury that miraculously did not keep himoff the field, a testament to his toughness. As he returnsto form,heshouldsee increasedactionon the field. He is Upstate’s all-time Division I leadingscorer. Eli Flores(Fr.,Statesville,N.C.),whowillseemost of his action in the midfield, could also see timeupfrontfortheSpartansthisseason.

••Midfield••

Hooks will rely on as many as nine playersto fill out his lineup in the midfield. Timo Foer-ster, Colin Francis and Hakeem King areexperienced players who are expected to earnstarting positions heading into the early part oftheseason.WithKingmovingbackfromthefor-ward position, the midfield should be infused with athleticism.Isaiah Fergusonisalsoexpectedtopushforthefourthstartingspotintheunit.

Spartan SoccerRecord Book & History

Old Rifle Field was the first home of soccer at

Upstate. The men’s soccer team called Rifle

Field home from 1979-2000, while the wom-

en’s soccer team used the field in its inaugural

season in 2000. Rifle Field hosted the 1995

and 1998 NCAA Division II Tournament semifi-

nal and championship matches, as well as the

1986 NAIA National Tournament.

The early men’s soccer teams used the quad behind the Administration Building and adjacent to the Hodge Center as a practice facility.

Lynn, playingamandownafteraredcard,scoredtheequalizerinthe79thminute.Afterascoreless first overtime, things got a little crazy.

FreshmankeeperChadToddwasinsertedtofacetheensuingpenaltykick.Toddstonedthekick,whichboundedtosweeperRobMikulskiintherightcorner.Heclearedtheball to Sharrieff, who was waiting just past midfield. Sharrieff attacked the goal, and found a streaking Hasse Eranka, who scored just 16 seconds after the failed penalty kick to give USCS a 2-1 double overtime win and a trip to the Final Four. The 22-0 Rifles were chosen to host the Final Four for the second time in four seasons. In the first semifinal, Southern Connecticut State defeated Seattle Pacific, 3-0, to advance to the title game. In the other semifinal, USCS faced No. 15 Mercyhurst, who entered the game with a 17-3-1 record. The situation was eerily similar to 1995, when the Rifles hosted the Final Four, faced Mercyhurst in the semifinals, and Southern Connecticut State was waiting in the final. USCS got a goal and an assist from Ronnevig, and Aaron Ziehm also scored as the Rifles won, 2-0. Todd, making the start after Negalha’s red card, recorded 10 saves to earn the shutout. The championship game was a rematch of the Rifles’ thrilling 4-3 double-overtime win in September. A Rifle Field crowd of 2,833 saw the Owls score in the 8th minute, and hold on for a 1-0 win. The Rifles set a NCAA Division II record for winning percentage (23-1, .958).

In its last year as a member of NCAA Division II and the Peach Belt Conference, Upstate wanted to go out with a bang. The Spartans started the quest for their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2003 by winning its first two matches before suffering a 1-1 tie to Limestone in what would be a prophetic match. Upstate answered with five straight wins, including a 5-0 drubbing of rival Lander, which was ranked No. 5 at the time. Upstate suffered its first loss of the season in a 1-0 decision to UNC Pembroke.
