Andrulis was given charge of a program that had moved into the national spotlight among NCAA Division II teams in 1984, finishing the season ranked eleventh in the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America poll. He has the task of building the program into a Division I strength as the university prepares to move to the new level of competition in I 987. Andrulis, who spent three seasons with the Clemson program, began primarily as a goalkeeper coach. Under Andrulis's tutelage, Clemson's Jamie Swanner earned several national honors including a position on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, selection to the U.S. national team, and the Adi Dassler award, which is the "Heisman trophy" of soccer goalkeepers. After the initial season, Andrulis's responsibilities were expanded to include much of the recruiting for Clemson. As a result of his recruiting efforts, Clemson has competed consistently and successfully in the upper echelon of Division I soccer. "Wright State 's location is very good for soccer," the 27-year old coach said. "Ohio is producing quality players right now, and the Midwest is a strong area for soccer. The youth leagues, state associations, and high schools are doing an outstanding job of developing players capable of playing on the collegiate level. " During Andrulis's three-year stay at Clemson, the Tigers compiled a 56-9-3 record, including a 22-4 mark in 1984 on their way to the Division I national championship. The Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference title in 1982 and were selected to the NCAA regional tournament all three years. Andrulis, a native of Litchfield, Connecticut, attended Litchfield High School, where he earned varsity letters in soccer, basketball, and track. He was selected as the school's most outstanding athlete as a senior. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1980 from Eastern Connecticut State University, where he lettered as a soccer player for four years. As a goalkeeper on the Warrior team, Andrulis set the school record for shutouts and was selected his senior year as the team 's MVP. He served as the Warrior team captain for two seasons. After spending a year as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Andrulis moved to Springfield College in Massachusetts where he coached the junior varsity and freshman teams while earning a master's degree in counseling. He also spent a season in the semi-pro Connecticut Soccer League. 1985 Outlook After looking at last year's season, in which the Raiders won a record fifteen games and were ranked eleventh in the country in the final Division II poll, one would expect the 1985 outlook to be equally as promising. However, the first year will not be an easy one for head coach Greg Andrulis, who has only four starters returning from that 1984 squad. He will need to count on his two cocaptains, Hylton Dayes and Rob Campbell, for leadership on opposite ends of the field. The path to a successful season will be difficult for the Raiders, who are on the road to face the top teams in the Mideast Region this year. " We have a good nucleus returning, but we lost seven starters, " Coach Andrulis said. "We have been able to fill some of those spots by recruiting, but many will not be filled until fall workouts are underway. I think we did a good job recruiting considering the late time frame, but I am disappointed we did not get more local talent. Our biggest problem this season will be lack of depth. We will be able to put eleven quality players on the field, but we don't have many back-ups. "Two advantages we will have is that our starting line-up will include one of the best players in the country, Hylton Dayes, and we will have one of the strongest forward lines in the country," Andrulis said. Dayes will anchor an otherwise inexperienced Raider defense. The Kingston, Jamaica, native has won every award possible in his first three years, including three first-team All-America plaques. A smart player on defense, he rarely lets an opponent test the Wright State goalie. In addition to Dayes, sophomore Dan Jacquin and junior Pat McDevitt return to the defense. Although neither saw considerable action last year, both have demonstrated solid skills in the early weeks of practice. Jacquin will probably play at the stopper position, while McDevitt will hold down one of the outside back positions. On the other side, freshmen Brian Haines and Young Choi are both likely to see action. Sophomore Mike Kolschetzky returns to the goal position after starting in 18 of the 20 games as a rookie. The 6-0 net-minder allowed 21 goals for a 1.32 goals-against average. He helped the Raiders record six shutouts last year. At the other end of the field, a pair of returning forwards, senior Rob Campbell and junior Byron Patten, should provide valuable strength to the Raiders. Both prolific scorers, the two players will carry much of the Raider scoring burden. Patten added I I goals last season, and Campbell should set the all-time scoring record at Wright State this season. In addition, the strong striking ability of England 's David Penney may provide scoring punch. Freshman John Gibbs is a hard-nosed player who could force his way into the starting line-up on the forward line or in the midfield. In the midfield positions, experience is lacking, so the top recruits are expected to fill in immediately. Freshman Eric Delp, an All-Ohio player from Madison High School in northeastern Ohio, should claim one of the starting spots. In addition, Jamaican Michael MacDonald could play a key role in the center of the field. Either Gibbs or Penney is expected to play at the other position. The schedule is not kind to the Raiders, who open the season with a four-game homestand that includes visits from two Division II playoff teams, Missouri-Saint Louis and Gannon, in the Wright State Invitational. The Raiders must then play nine of the final fourteen games on the road, including contests at Division II power Southern Indiana, play-off participant Oakland, and Division I opponents, Miami and Ohio State. 2 Player Profiles-Returning Players Hylton Dayes Hermann Trophy Candidate 3 Rob Campbell Senior 6-1 170 Forward 9 Cincinnati A.s Wright State 's top scorer over the past three years, Campbell could become the Raiders · all-time scorer. He needs just IO goals to tie the all-time record. He got out of the blocks quickly last year, scoring goals in the first three games. Included in his 12 goals in 1984 were two against IP-Fort Wayne in a 4-3 win, including the game-winner. He also had two-goal performances against Dayton and Heidelberg. He led the team in scoring in 1983 and was second his other two seasons. A two time first-team All-Mideast player, he was second-team All-Ohio last year alter making the team as an honorable mention choice in 1983. He won the Raider Award for exhibiting team hustle for the second time last year. Campbell is one of the team 's cocaptains. "He is an outstanding soccer player. He is a prolific scorer who has an uncanny knack for putting the ball in the back of the net. We will look for him to carry the bulk of the scoring load this year.
